Court strikes down ban on sleeping in parks Both sides claim victory as city can limit permanent encampments Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News

The outcome of a contentious trial between a group of homeless people and the City of Abbotsford has, somehow, managed to please nearly everyone directly involved in the case. The decision strikes down provisions in city bylaws that ban sleeping overnight in city parks, and the use of temporary shelters or tents. But it upholds the city’s ability to ban permanent encampments on public land. Pivot Legal Society, the non-profit law firm representing homeless activists with the B.C./

Yukon Association of Drug War Survivors (DWS) in the trial, are happy the decision affirms the right to sleep in public places, and take shelter from the elements if need be, when someone has nowhere else to go. But the city is glad the decision still allows them to ban permanent encampments or tent cities, like the protest camp on Gladys Avenue that’s been in place since 2013. In the trial, which ran for six weeks this June, July and August, DWS argued city bylaws banning sleeping outdoors violated the homeless’ rights to life, liberty and personal security as laid out in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

BC Supreme Court Justice Christopher Hinkson ruled Wednesday that when there aren’t enough shelter spaces in a community, banning sheltered outdoor sleeping violates fundamental rights. “The evidence shows ... that there is a legitimate need for people to shelter and rest during the day and no indoor shelter in which to do so,” Hinkson wrote. Pivot hailed the decision as a “massive vindication” of the rights of people who find themselves Continued on A4

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford business owner is fed up with ongoing issues involving an abandoned mobile home park on Allwood Street, after the third fire this year occurred Wednesday on the property saw flames shooting into the air just feet from his martial arts studio. Seung Yong Lee runs Master Lee’s Tae Kwon Do School, which is located directly beside the former Allwood Estates Mobile Home Park. The property is known to house squatters, and crews were called Wednesday afternoon to put out a fire that shot up a tree beside Lee’s business.

Firefighters had to break down the front door to get into the building and hose it down to prevent the fire from spreading. The blaze was quickly extinguished and Lee is grateful to crews for ensuring that his business did not suffer any fire damage, but he must shut down for a few days while the water damage is repaired. Lee – and other business owners in the area – have been expressing concerns for months about homeless people setting up camp on the empty property, which is owned by Onni Group and is slated for development. Lee previously found a bladed weapon – made from a pipe, Continued on A7

a handheld microphone and the blades of a food processor – in the parking lot behind his building. He has also seen paint splashed on the back of his building, graffiti stenciled on the wall, and a water tap vandalized. But his greatest concern is the damage that could be caused by a serious blaze. “I’m very worried … You don’t need a fortune-teller to

see what’s coming,” he said. Lee said he has tried to contact Onni Group, with suggestions that they hire 24-hour security to patrol the lot, to no avail. The Abbotsford News has also had no response to email requests to speak with an Onni representative. Another business owner contacted The News after Wednesday’s fire, saying she, too, is troubled by the situation and says it is a “disaster wait-

ing to happen.” The woman sent photos taken of a camp set up on the abandoned lot, with three tiki torches leaning against a tree just six feet away from the fence for her business. “There are three automotive shops right there. Do you understand why we are concerned?” she said. The property has been vacant since mid-January, after the city received a rezoning and development permit for a

224-unit townhouse complex on the site. A start date for construction is not yet known, as the proposal is still making its way through the application process. Other fires occurred on the property in February and June, destroying abandoned mobile homes that had not yet been demolished. Since that time, the remaining structures have been destroyed.-

Other Hand The decision handed down by Justice Hinkson declaring Abbotsford bylaws relating to homeless camps unconstitutional is a double-edged sword. While advocates for the homeless consider it a ‘victory’ that the Supreme Court has said it is okay to camp in Abbotsford’s public places, in actuality it is a ‘loss’. How so? Because the judge took the word “camp” literally, meaning put up your tent in the evening, take it down in the morning. What Abbotsford has, particularly along Gladys Avenue as well as little pockets across the city, are ‘permanent encampments’ in which those housed there consider their residence, not just an overnight resting place. And that, as I have said a number of times previously, is what is needed . . . a place of semi-permanence, a ‘dignity village’ if you will. Following the chicken manure debacle, the City had ample opportunity to provide such a location. But dithering, concerns for potential neighbours, and probably lack of funding paralyzed the process. Now armed with a Supreme Court decision, the City can ‘eliminate’ the semi-permanent camp on Gladys by requiring its residents to remove their tents and possessions during the day. Like that’s going to happen! It is all well and good to defeat, or support, bylaws but the amount of money spent by both the City and Pivot Legal Society, as well as court costs, could have been far better used cooperatively by funding a long-term residential site for these challenged people. It’s time to find a place, if not forever then at least for a few months. With vacant industrial commercial buildings all over the city, it isn’t a difficult task, one which Abbotsford’s ‘homeless coordinator’ could accomplish with relative ease.

The homeless need a place Mark

space to locate individual ‘residences’. Of course the building owner(s) would need to be amenable, and the city, and those organizations which provide assistance to the homeless, could indemnify the owner against any liabilities, and the fear that once designated the site would be committed in perpetuity. How about the former Buckerfield’s location at Vye and Sumas Way? Like many other potential and vacant sites, it has both indoor and outdoor areas available for use as well as being relatively close to services. Or, since the garbage transfer station is about to close, why not revisit the Valley Road site originally proposed for a ‘village”. I’m sure there could be myriad objections to any site but hey, if you don’t try to be part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Abbotsford has a problem it needs to fix quickly, Supreme Court decisions not withstanding, because the last thing taxpayers want is city parks being turned into homeless shelters. markrushton@abbynews.com

The 2016-2020 Financial Plan Bylaw for the City of Abbotsford is scheduled to receive three readings at the Regular Council meeting on November 2, 2015, following the Public Hearing at 7:00 pm, in the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium. At that time there will be an opportunity for public input on the Financial Plan and Bylaw.

fit the lower- and middle-income residents. Nothing could be further from the truth. Splitting income for families results in equitable taxes for families of equal total income. Further, if one member is the principal or sole income source, it undoubtedly means that the other party, wife or husband, is looking after the children, which is a very necessary and noble task. There is absolutely no justification

to have such families pay significantly higher taxes solely due to the income coming from one source. Trudeau will eliminate or reduce the amount that can be put into taxfree savings accounts, claiming that such accounts benefit only the higher income bracket. I am definitely not in that bracket and, undoubtedly, as many other Canadians have discovered, these tax-free savings accounts provide

some protection from higher costs that will be, and are, associated with age. Governments are supposed to be financially responsible, and coming out with the clear statement that the first couple of years will show significant deficits is no more responsible that an individual making a major purchase with a minimal down payment. Governments should operate as much as possible on a “pay as you go” basis, as that is the only way they can be financially responsible. Much is made of allowing large number of Syrian refugees into the country with little or no security clearance. Such action is irresponsible. All immigrants should be subject to careful screening, regardless of any claims of being refugees. This is absolute for the security of our country and to protect us from terrorists sneaking through with legitimate claimants. I sincerely hope that Trudeau will prove to be a good and honest leader, but the track record of past Liberal governments leaves a lot to be desired. Frank Wirrell Abbotsford

Recovery house expansion proposed Council to vote on project Nov. 2 Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News

An assisted living centre for women recovering from drug addiction on Braeside Street in central Abbotsford is hoping to expand from 18 to 30 beds. Rezoning the L.I.F.E. Recovery Society Association centre to allow three more storeys was met with opposition from neighbours, but centre leadership and staff insist they want to work harmoniously with the community. The association does not currently have funding for an expansion, but hopes to obtain money from the province. The centre uses “abstinence-based” treatment, and doesn’t allow anyone using drugs, including methadone, or actively detoxing. Instead, it offers those who just got clean a supportive environment to live and to attend counselling. Some neighbours of the facility said they opposed the expansion because they find the centre’s current residents often disturb them by speaking loudly or smoking outdoors. Wendy Utvich, who lives nearby, told council she sometimes is woken up by residents smoking and chatting at 5:30 in the morning, and she is concerned about the criminal records of some residents given the facility’s close proximity to TenBroeck elementary. “That really concerns me, considering this facility overlooks a school playground with children in it,” Utvich said. Another nearby resident said smoke often wafts from the centre’s smoking pavilion into his yard, where his children play. L.I.F.E. leadership and staff, upon hearing these complaints, expressed a desire to work with the community and keep the peace. “The reality is, the problem of addiction is not going to go away, and people need to recover somewhere,” she said. “We think we’re running a great program, and we’d like to share it with as many people as we can.” A vote on the expansion will take place at the council meeting on Nov. 2.

Eat just the seeds of this seasonal fruit What could be more appealing to the eyes and the appetite than the appearance of a pomegranate that has just been pulled apart? The sight of the large cluster of seeds glistening like a crimson beehive makes my mouth water! The taste of these juicy tidbits that explode with flavour is just the beginning of the benefits to eating this wonderful fruit. The name pomegranate is derived from the Latin name granatum meaning “fruit of many seeds”. The leathery skin and membrane of this fruit are inedible, and therefore the seeds are the only part that we consume. Each small seed is encompassed in a juice-filled casing, and both can easily be consumed together. Some opt to discard the small inner seed after robbing it of its juice, but this tedious task is not necessary. Although these inner seeds are slightly bitter in comparison to the juice that surrounds them, they are a great source of fiber. Pomegranates are harvested when they are fully mature, as they will not continue to ripen afterwards on their own. They are grown in moderately tropical climates, and it is believed that pomegranates originated from the areas of Iran and Turkey.

When choosing a pomegranate, make sure it is unblemished and bright red in colour. It should feel heavy for its size when picked up. They can be stored at room temperature for a few days, but are best stored in the refrigerator where they can last for up to three weeks. Although the seed casings are somewhat durable, care should be taken when preparing this fruit for consumption. With a sharp knife cut just the skin off from the top of the pomegranate, where the crown is located. Score the skin into four sections vertically, being careful not to insert the blade of the knife deeper than the thickness of the skin. Pull the pomegranate apart into two halves and then into the four sections. Take care to damage as few of the seeds as possible during this procedure as the juice will stain clothing very easily. Then gently release the seeds from their nestled clusters on the inner membrane with your fingers. There are so many applications for the use of pomegranate seeds than just to eat them on their own. They are a great addition to fruit salads, green salads, desserts, sauces, and make a wonderful garnish for almost any meal. Other than providing fantastic flavour, the juice from pomegranates is very nutritional. This is not only determined from

their fair levels of potassium and vitamin C, but mostly from the amount of antioxidants they provide. Their high levels of antioxidants have been compared to that of red wine, and are superior to other juices such as cranberry, and blueberry. If juicing pomegranates sounds like a task you would rather not endure, pomegranate juice in its natural state can be purchased in bottles at your local supermarket. The most widely known usage of pomegranate juice is in grenadine. The main usage of this sweet syrup is in the preparation of cocktail-type drinks and some desserts. However, one look at the ingredient list on the label of a popular brand, and you will realize that it does not state pomegranate juice anywhere. Could it be part of the natural and artificial flavour it does list as the fourth ingredient? If you would rather have grenadine that you know contains real pomegranate juice, it can easily be made at home. Macerate the seeds of two pomegranates with approximately 1.5 cups of white sugar. Cover and let sit for 24 hours. Bring to a boil, simmer for a few minutes, and then strain through a wire mesh strainer. Cover and refrigerate.

DNA links pair of indecent incidents Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Police have linked a man wanted for an indecent act in November 2014 with a similar incident in May of this year. Const. Ian MacDonald said evidence collected following each incident contains the DNA of the same suspect. Police still do not know who the man is because he is not in the national DNA data bank, meaning he has not previously been convicted of an offence. Police reported last week that they were looking for a suspect in an indecent act that occurred Nov. 8 at Castle This man is a suspect in two indecent acts that Fun Park in Abbotsford. A 24-year-old woman occurred in Abbotsford. had been playing pinball when a man approached her from behind. He appeared to be touching his genitals and recording something with his cellphone. He quickly walked away after being noticed by the victim. The incident was reported, and the victim’s clothing was taken as evidence. Police later obtained surveillance video of the suspect, and last week released a still image of him, after being unable to identify him through other avenues during their investigation. The second incident took place on May 7 of this year at about 2:25 p.m. MacDonald said a woman was browsing for a greeting card in a store in the 33600 block of Essendene Avenue. Another customer appeared to be shopping in the same aisle. When that person left, the woman observed a wet substance on the floor and on the back of her clothing. She contacted police, and evidence was obtained from the store and from the victim’s clothing. No video surveillance footage was available. MacDonald said detectives are continuing the investigation and are concerned there could be other similar, but unreported, incidents in Abbotsford or elsewhere. The man is described as Caucasian, in his mid30s, 5’ 10” and weighing 180 pounds. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225, text abbypd (222973) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask! Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent. Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home. Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold. This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-

served for the real estate agents and their clients. This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home. To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811. This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.

Abby videographer attacked with bear spray Assault with a weapon charge laid Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

YOU and the LAW CAR CRASH? GET LEGAL HELP EARLY Say you’re hit in a car accident that’s clearly the other side’s fault. You may think there’s no need to get legal help straight away – maybe you won’t even need a lawyer. After all, you’re insured by ICBC, and your case is bulletproof, right? But consider how things can develop if you go it alone. In a recent case, Mike (all names changed here) was driving his taxi when he was struck by Pete, who drove through a stop sign. The front of Pete’s car hit Mike’s taxi on the driver’s side, pushing it across the intersection. The door area of Mike’s taxi was damaged.

The adjuster was doubtful about the extent of Mike’s injuries and his claim he couldn’t return to work; he didn’t think Mike’s accident was major. So he hired a private investigator on the spot to conduct surveillance on Mike, expecting Mike would likely start a lawsuit over his claims. For a few weeks, ICBC did some more work on the file and also interviewed Mike again. Months passed – then ICBC totally rejected Mike’s claims for compensation, arguing he’d made false statements and breached his ICBC policy.

Stanley T. Cope

Mike reported the accident to ICBC a couple of days later. ICBC, which also insured Pete, agreed the accident was Pete’s fault and initially confirmed it would cover Mike’s anticipated claims. A couple of weeks later, Mike went to see the ICBC adjuster in person to tell his story. (An insured person must make a statement or provide a report about the accident to ICBC within 30 days post-accident.) Mike said he suffered major injuries from the collision. He reported neck, shoulder and lower back pain. He also said he suspected he had post-traumatic stress disorder. He hadn’t gone back to work, saying he was now afraid to drive. The adjuster had a photo of Mike’s car, showing only minimal damage. At this meeting, he noticed some inconsistencies between the injuries Mike described and his own observations. Mike said he’d walked 30 to 40 blocks to the claims centre, but he wasn’t sweating in his thick coat, and he didn’t have any difficulties sitting through the one-hour meeting.

Only then did Mike hire a lawyer, and a lawsuit was started.

Mike’s lawyer wanted to see the private investigator’s report. But ICBC refused to hand it over. The issue the B.C. Court of Appeal court had to decide was whether ICBC had gotten that report to resolve Mike’s claim or, instead, in expectation of a court fight. Also, was the expectation of a lawsuit ICBC’s “dominant purpose” for getting the report? The court decided the report was “privileged” and ICBC didn’t have to pass it over here. This left Mike and his lawyer in the dark about its contents. Very often such surveillance reports play a critical role in this kind of lawsuit. If hurt in an accident, see a lawyer early on to protect your rights and help you deal with ICBC from the get-go. Written by Janice and George Mucalov, LL.B.s with contribution by STANLEY COPE.

JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News

Paramedics treat videographer Kevin MacDonald after he was attacked with bear spray on Wednesday morning.

site as part of their piece on the B.C. Supreme Court decision regarding overnight camping in parks. MacDonald said he had situated himself near the Mennonite Central Committee building, across from the camp, at about 11:30 a.m. and was filming without any issues for several minutes. He had already interviewed one of the camp occupants for comments about the decision and was continuing to work when a woman, carrying a can of bear spray, came walking angrily towards him. MacDonald kept filming, and the footage shows her yelling and cursing at him, saying he should ask for per-

mission before “taking pictures” of people. “It’s against the law to take our picture …” she yells. MacDonald said as the woman came towards him, he “lightly pushed” her away with his hand, and she then released the bear spray on him. He can be heard screaming and cursing in the video. “I’ve never felt pain like that before in my life … It feels like your entire face is on fire,” MacDonald said later. He said he was thankful for the passersby who came to his aid, including a woman who called 911 because he couldn’t see to dial his phone and another who gave him her bottle of water so he could flush his eyes. Paramedics treated MacDonald on the scene. A 39-year-old woman, Christina Violet Bentley, was arrested and has been charged with assault with a weapon. MacDonald said he was disappointed by the woman’s behaviour. “This was supposed to be a positive story,” he said of the ruling that, in part, sided with the homeless in permitting them to sleep overnight in parks in Abbotsford. MacDonald said he has donated cash and water to the homeless camp before, but will no longer do so. “They need to go … They want respect, but they won’t respect anyone else,” he said. Just a few minutes prior to MacDonald’s attack, Abbotsford News reporter Laura Rodgers was approached by the same woman as Rodgers was taking photos for a newspaper article on the court decision. The woman threatened to break Rodgers’ camera and to bear-spray her, but Rodgers quickly departed before any assault occurred. Police say Bentley could face further charges in relation to that incident.

Sidhu, Fast claim student support

The starting point for youth to exit the streets.

Thousands of students voted in mock elections in schools Abbotsford News

Elementary and secondary students participating in a mock vote chose Conservative Ed Fast in the Abbotsford riding, but with a much closer margin compared to the real election. While Fast won with 48 per cent to Liberal Peter Njenga’s 33 per cent in the federal election, Fast received 37 per cent of student mock votes to Njenga’s 34 per cent. A Liberal also drew far more support, compared to the real polls, in the neighboring riding of Mission-MatsquiFraser Canyon. That race was tight in the election — Liberal Jati Sidhu won with 37 per cent of votes over Conservative Brad Vis, with 35 per cent. Students widened that two-point mar-

gin to a 21-point one, favoring Sidhu handily with 40 per cent of mock ballots to Vis’ 19 per cent. Student Vo t e Canada, organized by Civix, a non-profit group, and Elections Canada, is designed to get students interested in democracy by giving them a taste of the voting experience. Realistic-looking polling booths, complete with voter rolls, private baffles and specially-printed fake ballots, were set up in over 6,000 schools all over Canada just before the real federal vote on Oct. 19. The mock-vote results aren’t released until after the election is over. A similar wave of enthusiasm for the Liberals, above and beyond the one that handed them a 184seat majority government, carried in the mock votes across

the country. Students favored Liberal candidates in 227 of seats. They chose Conservatives in 70, down from the 99 MPs elected to the new Official Opposition. Over 850,000 students across Canada participated in the student vote.

Due to the overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Chapman is coming to ABBOTSFORD, THURSDAY, OCT. 29 to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

Angina?

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll ﬁt somewhere between those sizes.

Clogged Arteries? Heart Disease?

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that ﬁt comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overﬂow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks, or do they slip off of your shoulders? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

Proven non-invasive treatment increases circulation to the whole body including the heart and nervous system

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one (JEUNIQUE, NUTRIMETICS, COLESCE) could be the way to go.

Major aviation convention coming to airport The Abbotsford International Airport and the Canadian Business Aviation Association are planning to become very familiar with each other in the next few years. YXX and the CBAA announced on Monday that the CBAA’s annual Convention and Exhibit is set to come to Abbotsford in August 2017 and 2019. The event is expected to attract as many as 1,000 delegates and features a roster of international and Canadian speakers, exhibitors, and Canada’s largest static display of private and corporate aircraft. The convention also takes place just before the annual Abbotsford Airshow and coincides with the Aerospace, Defence and Security Expo held at YXX during that week. “The fact that we

could time our event to both the airshow and expo is sure to be a huge attraction,” said CBAA president and CEO Rudy Toering, in a press release. “Holding three events together gives Canadian aviation an unprecedented level of synergy and focus. The airport facilities are excellent – and we have the full commitment of the city and airport

team to make our convention a success.” Jim Reith, the president of the Abbotsford Airshow Society, said it will be a great combination of events. “Exhibitors to both the CBAA convention and the ADSE trade show will have access to the airshow both for flying demonstrations and aircraft static displays,” he said.

Abbotsford International Airport will host the Canadian Business Aviation Association’s annual Convention and Exhibit.

Toering said Abbotsford will be the ideal spot for the event. “A b b o t s f o r d

International Airport is an excellent example of an airport that is integrated with city and commu-

nity planning that connects a huge number of Canadians, Canadian companies and economic

opportunity to the world,” he said. “We are proud to be holding our 2017 and 2019 conferences here.”

Gallery 7 Theatre holds open auditions on Tuesday, Oct. 27 for its next production, The Giver. The auditions take place at 6:30 p.m. at the theatre’s rehearsal hall at Huntington Station, #100 – 34595 Third Ave. in Abbotsford. They are open to all male and female performers ages 14 to 75. The Giver is based on the award-winning novel for young adults by Lois Lowry and is adapted for the stage by Eric Coble. In a futuristic, Utopian society, young Jonas is surprised to learn that he has been chosen to receive special training from The Giver, the keeper of all memories of true joy and pain. This adaption of the award-winning novel for young adults explores what it means to grow up and to be human in an imperfect world.

The play will run Jan. 29 and 30 and Feb. 3-6 at 7:30 p.m., with discount matinees on Jan. 30 and Feb. 6 at 2 p.m. at the Abbotsford Arts Centre, 2329 Crescent Ave. Call-back auditions will be held Oct. 31 at 10 a.m., and rehearsals will begin the week of Nov. 18. The production will be directed by Gallery 7 Theatre’s artistic director, Ken Hildebrandt, who directed last season’s production of Lord of the Flies. To register for the audition, or for more information, call 604-504-5940 or visit gallery7theatre.com. Those interested in working behind the scenes are also invited to attend the audition.

Minor bulbs a colourful addition to gardens Brian

Minter

Gardening Over 116 million Dutch flower bulbs have now made their way into Canadian garden stores, import warehouses and greenhouse coolers. Canada is the ninth largest Dutch bulb-importing country in the world. I’m sure it would be no surprise if I were to tell you that tulips are the number one bulb we import. You might be interested to hear that gladiolas are right behind and then, way down in quantities but still important, are lilies, hyacinths, narcissus, irises, crocuses, amaryllis, dahlias, freesias and anemones. The high numbers of some of these bulbs may seem rather odd to the home gardener, but don’t forget, many of these bulbs such as lilies, irises and freesias are grown-on by green-

house operators for cut flower production. It is, however, becoming more apparent to me each year that we are overlooking some of the very finest bulbs that will add so much value to our gardens. We tend to plant tulips, daffodils and hyacinths in our gardens, while glossing over other bulbs that are actually better long-term investments. A visit to Keukenhof, Holland’s famous spring garden, opened my eyes to the use of minor bulbs. Muscari (grape hyacinths) were used very effectively as borders, under-plantings and as drifts of colour under trees and shrubs. There are many varieties but “Muscari armeniacum” is, by far, the most impressive for mass displays. For smaller pockets,

you will be dazzled with many fabulous long-lasting perennial varieties like the white M. album, the soft blue “Valerie Finnis,” the bi-colour “Mount Hood,” M. “Pink Sunrise” and even a fragrant yellow called “Golden Sunrise.” Today, there are also pre-packaged combinations featuring muscari, such as “Wind and Tide,” an eye-popping blend of white “Thalia” daffodils and blue muscari. Muscari are hardy in all zones and will tolerate little or no water in summer. This makes them ideal for plantings under large trees where moisture is often a problem. They prefer full sun or partial shade. These bulbs look very effective when mass planted by themselves or used as a contrast with other spring-blooming perennials, bulbs or flowering shrubs. Muscari are long-lasting, have great weather tolerance, and they don’t look untidy as do Continued on A23

so many other bulbs when they finish flowering. Most gardeners plant and enjoy lots of the standard yellow, white, blue and striped crocus, but the sweetly scent-

ed species varieties are being overlooked. Crocus chrysanthus provide us with some of the most beautiful and interesting crocus colours. They naturalize well

and thrive in sun or light shade. They are most effective used in mass plantings in rockeries, borders, lawns and between stepping stones. You will find the species varieties are more free

flowering. For a yearly repeat performance, the earliest bulbs to bloom are the yellow aconites (Eranthis hyemalis) and beautiful snowdrops. Both perennialize nicely

Many types of blooms

The yellows and whites really pop in late winter, lifting our spirits and announcing that spring is on its way. The old-fashioned bluebells that so many European folks ask for are actually scillas or squills. All of them flower in clusters on leafless stalks and have either bell-shaped or star-like flowers. I like them best planted in informal groupings among shrubs, deciduous trees or low-growing perennials. They are great in pots too and scillas make lovely cut flowers for tiny bouquets. Scilla siberica seems to be the most popular because of its intense blue, three- to six-inch flower spikes. If, perchance, you are looking for old-fashioned English bluebells (Scilla nutans), they’re a lot easier to find now. They are very long-lasting and do well in partial shade. The real sleeper in all the minor bulbs is Anemone blanda. These look for all the world like miniature daisies, and I was absolutely in awe when I saw how they were being used in Keukenhof Gardens. The variety called “’White Splendor” was used in massive borders and as under-plantings with virtually every type of tulip and narcissus that blooms during their long flowering period. Their white colour tended to lift all the other colours, and when contrasted with the rich green lawns, they were sensational. Anemones also come in blue and pink shades as well as a wonderful pre-packaged combo called appropriately “Diamonds and Sapphires,” a blend of white anemones and blue muscari that blooms for a long time. You will find these anemones most pleasing when you plant them under Japanese azaleas, dwarf rhododendrons and Japanese maples. There are still many of these great little minor bulbs we have yet to discover, but I suggest you give the ones I’ve mentioned a try. You won’t be disappointed.

company, the lender will determine the type of security required to secure the loan. Lenders don’t give companies loans on a simple promise that the loan and interest will be repaid. The lender requires security and “liens” on the land, inventory and equipment owned by company or to be purchased by the company to secure the loan. If the payments are not made and the loan is in default, the lender will proceed to enforce its security by selling the assets which the liens are registered against and applying the proceeds against the loan. The security required by the lender depends on a number of factors such as the amount of the loan, credit risk, business history, financial performance and

the type and extent of the assets owned by the company or guarantors. Security which would be typically required by the lender would be as follows: 1. mortgage on the land owned by the company or to be purchased with the loan proceeds. 2. general security agreement, which is basically a charge on all other assets owned by the company other than land. 3. assignment of the quota, if any, owned by the company if the company is involved in the agricultural industry and owns quota. 4. personal guarantees of the principals and/or the shareholders of the company. 5. security such as mortgages and general security agreements from the personal and corporate guarantors.

Institutional lenders will generally require a first charge on the assets. If there are existing liens on the assets of the company or the guarantors, they will either have to be paid in full from the new loan proceeds or a priority agreement will be required giving the new lender a first charge on the assets. In the event you are signing a contract of purchase and sale to purchase land or equipment, ensure there is a condition in the contract making the contract conditional on the company obtaining the required funding from a lender. If you can’t secure the necessary financing, you don’t want to be obligated to complete the purchase.

Fraser Valley hosted the Canadians in Abbotsford on Saturday and exploded in the third period for three goals to post a 5-2 win. Abbotsford products Andrew Sorensen and Kyle Davis drew assists on Fraser Valley’s fourth goal in the win.

The teams met again on Sunday in Richmond and played to a 2-2 tie. The Canadians scored a late goal to even the game up. Fraser Valley moves into a three-way tie for fifth place in the 11 team British Columbia Major Midget League after the weekend’s results. The Thundebirds have a bye week this weekend, before facing the Valley West Hawks on Oct. 31 at 11 a.m. at the Langley Event Centre and again on Nov. 1 at 9:45 a.m. at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre.

G ? N I ED L E AT E F E THE GRASS IS H C

ALWAYS GREENER ON THE SIDE FACT

Although almost every manufacturer has a hybrid offering, TOYOTA HYBRIDS actually provide superb fuel efficiency because of the nature of our patented Hybrid Synergy Drive (HDS) technology.

FACT

The latest diesel vehicles emit nearly triple the amount of smog-forming emissions than TOYOTA HYBRIDS. In contrast, TOYOTA HYBRIDS are among the cleanest vehicles and are well ahead of the curve when it comes to reducing smog-forming emissions.

Abbotsford’s Lynne Desatels performs a squat during the British Columbia Powerlifting Association’s Fall Classic event at Exhibition Park in Abbotsford on Saturday. The event drew over 100 of the province’s best lifters in men’s, women’s, juniors, and Special Olympics divisions. JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News

The fact is TOYOTA HYBRIDS are just a better way to travel. Powered by the most proven and advanced hybrid technology in the world, they offer an unmatched combination of performance, fuel efficiency and low emissions.

Cascades wrestlers hit the mat The University of the Fraser Valley wrestling program heads to Calgary this weekend for its first Canada West tournament of the season. The Dinos Invitational runs Saturday at the University of Calgary. Competing on behalf of the Cascades this fall will be Pravi Dhaliwal, Ashley Chouinard and Devin Purewal. On the women’s side, Dhaliwal and Chouinard give the Cascades a pair of wrestlers with the pedigree to challenge for conference medals. Dhaliwal emerged as one of B.C.’s top high school wrestlers over the past couple of years, competing with Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat Hawks. In 2014, she was named the outstanding female wrestler at the Upper Fraser Valley championships, and went on to win silver medals in the 60 kilogram weight class at both the B.C. high school championships and the BC Summer Games. In 2015, she was crowned the provincial high school champion in a match that was voted the most exciting gold medal final by tournament officials. “I chose UFV since I already train a lot here and know the program is great and successful,” Dhaliwal said. “I want to become a junior and senior national champion and go to the Olympic trials one day.” Chouinard has had success on the national stage – in 2014, competing for the Saskatoon Junior Huskies club program, she won the 65 kg silver medal at the Canadian juvenile wrestling championships in Guelph, Ont. At the junior nationals that same year in Edmonton, she was fifth at 63 kg. On the men’s side, Purewal is heading into his second season at UFV, and he excelled on the mat in 2014-15. The graduate of Abbotsford’s Yale Secondary won the gold medal in the men’s 72 kg division at last year’s Dinos Invitational, and he earned silver medals at UFV’s Cascades Classic and at the Canada West championships. The UFV wrestling program will host its second annual Cascades Classic tournament on Jan. 31 at the Envision Athletic Centre. The Canada West championships run Feb. 12 and 13 at the University of Winnipeg.

Question of the Week

Clubman pushes Mini to the max The Clubman shares engine choices withh the rest of the Mini clan; a base three-cylinder with 102 horsepower, the Cooper’s three-cylinder at 136 horsepower, or the Cooper S’s four-cylinder with 192. Transmission choices are the six-speed manual, or a new eight-speed automatic. BMW’s usual arsenal of road-conquering technologies are either built in or are available. The Stockholm area presented a few challenges. Firstly, it is city of 14 islands, with hundreds more nearby. This means a lot of water, which means a lot of bridges - and a good number of ferries. The rolling, lake-studded Canadian Shield-like landscape northeast of Stockholm does present inviting stretches - but the tempting country roads are home to the very vigilant police force, and dreaded Blue Meanies. Once the Clubman broke free from these constraints, its inner go-kart was revealed. There was never any doubt that there was more Mini than usual to throw around, but fun could be summoned - especially with Sport mode selected. The manual certainly kept it real, but the automatic really needed to be in its own Sport mode to simulate the experience. This new six-door strikes a nice compromise between Mini mania and multitasking. Like the car, the families who take delivery after the Clubman shows up in showrooms early next year are growing out, not up. The Mini Cooper Clubman starts at $24,990, the Mini Cooper S Clubman at $28,990. Of course, these being Minis means infinite (almost) options and individualization, which would take you north of that pretty quickly.

The PMP manages problem vegetation, including control of noxious weeds and invasive plants within KMC’s rights-of-way and access roads to its pipeline systems and facilities. In British Columbia, KMC operates the Trans Mountain Pipeline transporting crude oil and refined petroleum products and the Jet Fuel Pipeline transporting aviation fuel. The pipelines are located below ground and in proximity to the following communities in British Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Little Fort, Darfield, McLure, Heffley Creek, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond. This PMP has been prepared to replace the existing 5 year PMP which expires in 2016. The proposed duration of the IVMP (PMP) is from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2021.

6 speed auto, remote start, rear camera, Sirius XM radio, touch screen, Mylink with Bluetooth. ORIGINAL MSRP $23,465

The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand cutting and pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, selective slashing, retaining existing low ground cover, and seeding, fertilization where set backs permit and tree/shrub plantings. The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the PMP (IVMP) applies and may include the use biological control agents.

Plan to keep your teeth before and after retirement Regular brushing and flossing alone, even with an electric toothbrush, does not guarantee that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still be eating apples at 90. Continuing to visit your dentist regularly for professional care after retirement is just as important to keeping your teeth well into old age.

older adults and can cause pain, infection and tooth loss. The number of adults without any teeth rises from 4 percent among 40â&#x20AC;&#x201C;59-year-olds to 22 percent among 60â&#x20AC;&#x201C;79-year-olds.1 Studies also show that BC adults have a higher combined rate of decayed (cavities), missing and filled teeth.

Your mouth ages too. Even the most scrupulously clean mouth will likely end up with some form of gum recession (when your gums shrink and more of your toothâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s root is exposed and vulnerable to cavities) or dental disease. For example, 43 percent of adults 60 â&#x20AC;&#x201C;79 years of age have root cavities compared to 6 percent of adults 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;39 years of age.

Losing your natural teeth can affect your nutrition and enjoyment of a variety of foods; lead to slurred speech; and reduce self-esteem. Dental disease can also negatively impact your general health; there are links between poor oral health and other health conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease.

Dental conditions are often extensive in

Adults over the age of 60 also have the highest incidence of oral cancer; other

risk factors include a high consumption of alcohol and tobacco, especially when combined. Oral cancers can be devastating but are very treatable if caught early; it is estimated that approximately 84 percent of oral cancers can be detected by a dentist. With planning and ongoing prevention, a 60-year-old can retain their vitality and their teeth for a long time.

Steps to oral healthâ&#x20AC;Śfor life Keep your teeth, gums and dental work clean & maintained. Brush daily, especially at bedtime, with a soft toothbrush or electric toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Please floss! Make sure you floss at least

once a day, especially around dental work like crowns. Speak to your dentist about any special care for your dental work. Your teeth, gums and jaw bones change with age. You may require some repeat procedures or need to have your dental work repaired or replaced well before you are in advanced age. Keep up your regular dental exams and cleaning schedule â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even after you retire from work. Plan ahead for all your extended health care needs, including dental care.

HELPING STUDENTS & FAMILIES CHOOSE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE Students are more likely to succeed if they are healthy and active. Here are some tips for parents to encourage healthy eating and an active lifestyle for their children: â&#x20AC;˘ Encourage your children to eat breakfast every day, as it provides fuel for the brain to learn and helps them maintain a healthy weight. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep nutritious foods, like cutup vegetables and fruit, cheese sticks, yogurt and butter-free

You get a thin pocket pita stuffed with all the fresh veggies you want. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll grill your onions, mushrooms and peppers along with your meat, and if you want cheese, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll melt it for you. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starving, ask for double meat and top it off with a fruit smoothie. (Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re awesome.)

popcorn on hand to make healthy snacking easy. â&#x20AC;˘ Encourage your children to choose milk or water at meals instead of sugary drinks or energy drinks.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great place if you want to eat healthy and fill up on the good stuff â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just a lot of bread.

Prevent and treat depression without medication Susan Federspiel Clinical Counsellor Depression is a one of the leading causes of disability. A large amount of money is being spent each year on lost work productivity and medical treatment related to this mental health issue. Individuals, families, and organizations, are affected greatly by this phenomenon. When young people and families come to see me for help with depression, I first wonder what they’re doing themselves to combat the feelings of depression. Often it’s very little – it’s no surprise that people who are struggling with depression can find it hard to do anything at all. I love that I can tell them that there is an inexpensive remedy that can not only help with the symptoms of depression, but actually help prevent depression from developing in the first place. This remedy is also economical, and good for a person in many other ways, and is in reach of most of the sufferers. And surprisingly, it has relatively the same efficacy as anti-depressant medication. The remedy is moderate exercise. Moderate exercise is now considered a key in the prevention of depression, as well as a priority strategy for managing it well. What does that mean? It means 30 minutes of moderate exercise or movement at least four times a week. This has shown to result in a significant reduction in the symptoms of depression, as well as ward off the development of depression in the first place. But how do I do it when I feel depressed? The simple answer is to ignore the feelings, and to go anyway — you don’t need to feel like it to do it. I tell my clients to put on their workout clothes, get their runners on, and head out the door. If after 10 minutes of walking it’s unbearable, then stop.

feel afterward. In tests, there is often a 40% reduction in symptoms after exercise, and this is relatively the reduction in symptoms that medication provides. Plus exercise makes us feel better about ourselves, and our abilities, which is a major issue in many people’s depressive thought cycle. If you are currently taking medication for depression, talk with your doctor about how exercise could be a part of your treatment plan.

THE PULSE 2015 / PUBLISHED BY THE ABBOTSFORD NEWS 7 ADVERTORIAL

Get the most out of life with dentures You’ve just been told you need dentures and, like most people in your position, you’re unsure and probably nervous about what to expect. Change is never easy, especially when it involves something as personal as your mouth. If you’re like most people 40 and older, you place a lot of importance on your smile because you believe it is the first thing that people notice about you. Your fears are not uncommon and many of the patients we see who need dentures express the same concerns. Many people older than 40 are missing multiple teeth and have a full or partial denture, which means someone you know may be going through the same transition as you and may not even be aware of it. That’s because dentures aren’t as noticeable as you may think. Dentures can be made to closely resemble the look of your natural teeth so there is little change in appearance. By replacing missing teeth dentures can help you speak better, improve the chewing of most foods, and restore a natural-looking smile. After a period of adjustment, proper fitting dentures will be comfortable and they will boost your self-esteem. When you first start wearing dentures, you may find pronouncing certain words may require practice, but reading out loud and repeating troublesome words helps. This practice will train the tongue and lips to relax and these difficulties will correct themselves in a short time. Your new dentures may feel awkward for 6-8 weeks until you get used to them. The dentures may also feel loose while the muscles of your cheek and tongue learn to keep them in place. This feeling will fade as your mouth becomes accustomed to your new dentures. However, during this time, you may want to consider using a small amount of denture adhesive to help keep your dentures in place. After 10 to 12 months your healing should be complete and your dentures will need relining for a better fit. Hundreds of thousands of people wear dentures with ease and, in time, you too will feel comfortable, secure and successful in wearing your dentures.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I take care of my dentures?

Why is there such a wide range in the cost of a denture?

Your dentures are an investment and require care and attention. Just like natural teeth, dentures always need to be cleaned morning and night in order to remove food particles and plaque. This is best done with a mild denture cleanser. Your denturist will help maintain your denture(s) and oral tissues so they stay at their optimum performance. The fit and function of your dentures and oral tissues are an integral part of your well-being. An annual examination by your denturist will ensure peace of mind.

Cost=Quality. A quality, well-fitting, and natural looking denture takes time to make and costs more.

How long will my dentures last? There is not a removable prosthesis made for the mouth that is permanent. The mouth is constantly changing so on average, a partial or a denture may be expected to last about 5 years.

Why are my dentures becoming loose? If your dentures are over 5 years old and if they have not been relined every 2 years you probably will have some problems with the fit of your dentures. Your gum tissue and jaw bone shrink with time. This causes the denture to become loose resulting in a poor fit. Poor fitting dentures can lead to bite problems, speech impediments and tissue irritations. Leaving this condition unchecked can lead to complicated situations in the future. A visit to your denturist for an oral health examination will determine the cause of your ill-fitting dentures.

Should I take my dentures out at night? If you choose to keep your dentures in overnight, always clean them thoroughly before you go to bed - just as you would your natural teeth, but use a denture cleanser rather than toothpaste, as toothpaste can scratch dentures. Leaving your dentures out at night gives your mouth and gums an opportunity to recover from the effort of supporting your dentures during the day. When dentures are left out of the mouth, they should be placed in a container filled with water to prevent drying and possible dimensional changes of the denture base material. It is also important to maintain good oral hygiene by cleaning gums, cheeks and tongue with a soft toothbrush where bacteria also resides.

How long will the implants for my (dentures over implants) last? Reports show many implants lasting 20 years or a life time with proper care and regular yearly check-ups at your dental professional. These are the factors which could reduce the life expectancy of your implants:

• your general health • oral hygiene • smoking • grinding your teeth Some parts of the implants may need replacing with time because of wear or deterioration. The dentures themselves should be replaced every 5 years and relined every 2 years. Denturists are denture specialists; they specialize in the manufacturing of denture prosthetics. Denturists have a professional designation of Registered Denturist (RD). You do not need a referral from another health professional to consult with a Denturist. A Denturist can refer you to other health care professionals. Denturists are proficient and time effective in the delivery of denture treatments. Most Denturists fabricate your prosthetics on premises, ensuring quality control and care. Denturist Association of British Columbia

3 strategies to LIVE every day with resilience Signý Wilson BCom, MIR, PCC There’s this light on my car’s dashboard that comes on every once in a while. Once I figured out what on earth that light meant I realized my car was telling me it needed some TLC. It needed an oil change. Wouldn’t it be great if people came with little lights that lit up anytime we needed maintenance?! Little light bulbs to alert us of the mundane and the serious: “Hey, you need sleep!”; “Hey, you need to eat!”; “Hey, go hang out with your friends. You really need it!” Because we don’t have little dashboard lights, we need to proactively ensure that our resiliency tanks don’t get too low. It’s all about being proactive in order to create a life where we’ve got that ability to bounce back. We know setbacks are going to happen, so we’ve got to be ready for them and when they do happen, remember not to beat yourself up over them!) These three strategies are ways for you to ensure that you’re able to LIVE every day with resilience:

Just in time for the holidays

Notice when you’re being hijacked One of the key things to recuperating with resilience is recognizing when you’re ‘off’. Notice what patterns take you off track. For example, I lose all hope of being resilient when I’m in a noisy environment. For other people, physical places (like busy train stations) might consistently hijack them. Or maybe thinking about a certain difficult topic (like a major fear) may hijack them. The important step is to notice it happening in the moment and over time, notice the themes that come up. That is the only way you can move toward being able to do something about it.

Have trusted buddies You’re going to need people to bounce issues/concerns/upsets off to see if it’s something to move through or go deeper on. The buddies are there to assist you in sorting out what’s important, what’s not important and which path to take. Simply knowing that you’ve got somebody to talk to and that you’re not going it alone makes it easier to manage the tough stuff when you are in the heat of the moment.

Have a mantra to let it go Part of resiliency is to not beat yourself up about that thing or its associated emotions. So you need to catch your self-loathing and self-criticism earlier and, in that moment of catching yourself, recover. The best way to do this: have a mantra. Keep it to a simple slogan to repeat, something that is going to remind you that you

are bigger than these circumstances and you’re worthy of self-love. Resiliency is such a huge part of how we LIVE our every day lives, but so little is said about it! Following these three strategies will go a long way in your ability to bounce back. Signý is a fiery, electrifying, and enthusiastic change-maker, entrepreneur, coach and speaker based out of Vancouver. Find out more at www.signywilson.com.

Eating 9 to 5 Did you know? Almost 40% of Canadians skip breakfast, increasing their risk for morning brain drain.

4. Mix-up some muesli with toasted oats, dates, coconut and almonds to enjoy with fruit and yogurt.

Rushed mornings can leave little time for breakfast. If you skip the morning meal, your body and brain will lack fuel. That means you might be less alert and unable to concentrate at work. You’re also missing out on some big benefits. Eating a healthy breakfast is linked to:

5. Make hard-boiled eggs for breakfast on the run. Refrigerate for up to one week.

• Healthy weights and reduced weight gain over time. • Improved appetite control so you can avoid the morning munchies. • Better intake of key nutrients including calcium, vitamin D, potassium and fibre.

Drive by the drive-thru! Make breakfast ahead so you can skip a coffee and pastry pit stop. Prepping breakfast ahead helps you avoid morning drive-thru stops. Dietitians dish up five top tips for weekend prep: 1. Make barley, quinoa or oat porridge and refrigerate in portions. Reheat with mixins, like fruit and seeds, in the morning. 2. Bake and freeze muffins, pancakes and mini frittatas. 3. Stock up on ready-to-eat items such as fruit and yogurt, and pack individual portions of trail mix to grab ‘n’ go.

Cookspiration.com has a make-ahead breakfast parfait recipe.

The secret to starting your workday off right? Get started the night before. Beat morning mayhem and eat well all day long with these helpful tips for prepping meals and snacks the night before: • Put dinner leftovers into containers and refrigerate for tomorrow’s lunch. • Portion and pack lunch box snacks, such as fruit, vegetables with hummus, or roasted soy nuts. • Fill up and refrigerate your reusable water bottle for sipping at work. • Prep breakfast: wash and chop fruit, get out the breakfast dishes and set up the coffee maker.

Too much caffeine can make you lose sleep, cause jitters, stomach upset and increased heart rate in some people. Health Canada recommends that adults have no more than 400 mg of caffeine a day. A big mug, refilled a few times, could put you well over that amount. Here are estimates of how much caffeine is in popular drinks: • One cup (250 ml) of home-brewed coffee: 80-180 mg

• Get ready for tomorrow night’s dinner. Cut veggies, cook grains and marinate meat.

• One cup (250 ml) of home-brewed tea: 25-45 mg

Drink. Refill. Repeat.

• A large (710 ml) coffee shop latte: 70-150 mg

Is this your coffee habit? Just three big mugs of coffee a day could deliver a caffeine surplus.

Remove your cataract and correct your vision at the same time. *

• One can (355 ml) of cola: 30 mg This information is from the Dietitians of Canada (www.dietitians.ca).

Medicating with medicine balls By Brian Justin, MKin, CSCS, CEP, CES, PES

icine balls, you brace your core (imagine that someone is about to tickle you – feel your core muscles tense up), to protect your back.

Exercise is medicine. However, the medicinal benefit of any physical activity is dependent upon what activity you do and how much of it you do. One exciting tool to increase physical activity is the medicine ball.

What kind of medicine ball to use? Yes, there is more than one…

Garrison Duke from AbbotsfordWorks (the local office for WorkBC) will deliver a presentation on seeking employment and services available for people who need support in entering or re-entering the job market. Bring your questions as there will be time for discussion afterwards.

LECTURE IS FREE Please call 604-853-7399 or email: info@esebc.ca to pre-register

Medicine balls come in wide varieties. There are bouncing medicine balls (also known as live balls), non-bouncing medicine balls (also known as dead balls), balls on a rope, with handles, and with bar attachments. If you are a beginner I would suggest buying the bouncing medicine balls as they allow you the most variety of training options and can be used with or without a partner.

Use a variety of medicinal options! The medicine ball allows you to create a variety of routines and exercises! You can: •

String together 3-5 exercises (10 reps each or 30 sec.) and perform them back to back with little rest in a circuit. Once the exercises have been completed you can rest. This provides both a strengthening and a cardiovascular stimulus. The creation of circuit variety is endless!

•

Make combination exercises which are two or three exercise that combines to form one. An example would be the squat-curl-press. This involves squatting down to pick up the ball from the floor (keep your hips back and your chest up), followed by arm curling it to the chest, and then pressing it overhead. I call this the parent press as this is what happens when you are picking up your cute little ones and playing with them!

•

Train your core by doing figure 8s. Hold the ball out in front (arms straight) and make figure 8s in the air.

Train your fundamental movement patterns. Medicine balls allow you the freedom to train a variety of movement patterns. The fundamental movement patterns are:
