APD plans to use GPS ‘darts’ to track suspects’ vehicles

The starting point for youth to exit the streets. 2616 Ware St | 604-859-5773 | cyruscentre.com

StarChase system to be purchased through donated funds Vikki HOPES

It’s like something out of a James Bond movie. A push of a button triggers a small “launcher” on the front of a vehicle to fire a sticky dart at the car ahead. The projectile contains a GPS tracker that monitors the vehicle’s location, leading to the potential capture of the occupant(s). But this isn’t a movie – it’s real-life technology planned for use by the Abbotsford Police Department (APD). The APD could become the first police agency in Canada to adopt the equipment, known by the trade name StarChase Pursuit Management Technology. The system, developed in 2006, is manufactured in Virginia Beach, Va., and is currently in use by agencies such as the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. It is used in high-risk traffic situations such as those involving stolen vehicles or impaired driving. APD Const. Ian MacDonald said the goal is to protect public safety and have more arrests of the “bad guys.” Police in Canada are restricted from engaging in high-speed vehicle pursuits, due to their obvious safety risks. MacDonald said although this is a good thing, it can result in a suspected criminal escaping arrest. He said an example of where the StarChase sys- The StarChase technology uses these GPS “darts” to track a suspect vehicle. tem could be used is when a patrol officer runs a licence plate and finds that the vehicle in front of him or her is stolen.

The money will be provided through the Abbotsford Police Foundation, which raises funds for equipment and programming not covered by the APD’s annual budget. The most recent fundraiser, the first Breakfast with the Chief, was held Wednesday morning at the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre, where Chief Bob Rich announced the APD’s plans for the new technology.

QUESTION

WebTalk Mailbox change halted

OF THE WEEK Do you like the change to Daylight Saving Time in the fall?

This is disappointing news. We all pay into Canada Post equally, but only some homes get door-to-door service. It should be the same for all. Ryan Wiens These community mailboxes are a great idea. A minor inconvenience that could save tens of millions in postal worker salaries. Gregary Kuipers I was looking forward to this. Secure boxes are way better than my bills sitting in a metal box at my front door all day while I’m at work. Or me having to arrange someone to pick up my mail every day when I’m on holidays. Teresa Melan-Baker

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Do you agree with a Supreme Court ruling striking down a ban on temporary overnight camping in city parks?

It’s not about having your mail delivered at home. Or having to go walk to a mail box. Or worrying about theft of the box. Of if they spent the the money on them or what. It’s about the employees. How many postmen and women will be losing their jobs? Jessie Dee Chequis

Canada’s voting system distorts the choices of Canadians Canada’s winner-take-all voting system has significantly distorted the will of Canada’s electors, handing an unearned majority to one party. Today, we do not have the government that we voted for! Nationally, Liberals earned the votes of 39.5 per cent of Canadian voters, yet the voting system handed them over 54.4 per cent of the seats in the House of Commons as a result. This is a majority government – on only a minority of the vote. The desire for change was clearly evident in the results, but our winner-take-all system granted the Liberal Party many more seats than their vote merits and shut out other voices. The First Past the Post voting system yielded the Trudeau Liberals a solid majority (elected or leading) of 184 seats, more than the 170 threshold for a majority. A number of experienced long-time Members of Parliament were swept away with the Liberal landslide. A proportional voting system would have granted 134 seats to the Liberals (less than a majority), 108 seats to the Conservatives, 67 to the NDP, 16 to the Bloc and 12 to the Greens. Today we should have a minority government in place in Canada. Regional distortions are also evident. The Bloc, with its geographically concentrated 4.7 per cent of the vote, gained 10 seats, but the

Greens with diffuse support and 3.4 per cent of the vote only achieved one seat. Last month, over 500 Canadian academics, including several Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada, 29 Canada Research Chairs and two professors with the Order of Canada, called on all political parties to work together to bring in a fairer electoral system. It should no longer be acceptable to have a system that disenfranchises a third of the electorate, forces people to vote strategically, or distorts the will of voters. It’s time we modernized our dysfunctional democracy so that election results truly reflect the way electors vote. Fair Vote Langley is part of Fair Vote Canada, Canada’s national multi-partisan citizens’ movement promoting fair voting reform at all levels of government.

AME HALL OF F

ccepted A w o N s n r 15 ominatio

Election shows N desire for change After assessing the election results, I think it’s fair to say that considering Abbotsford’s unique context, Mr. Fast and the CPC arguably lost the symbolic confidence of the constituents on election night. The voter turnout was higher than it has been in decades, and though he earned an endorsement of just over 48 per cent of the vote, it was by far the lowest number of votes the Conservatives have received in the history of this riding (since at least 2004). In 2011, he had 65 per cent, and it had never dropped below 60 per cent. This was essentially a referendum on the Harper government and on the question of change. He’s just lucky the side for change was split three ways, despite a remarkable second-place showing by the Liberals – whose out-of-town candidate sadly never even showed up to the debates. Let this be a sobering lesson for him and the Conservatives. Abbotsford’s loyalty to his party brand cannot be taken for granted any longer. We are not afraid to vote for progressive values and a positive alternative. And electoral reform, among other things, is coming down the pipe. Nathan Loewen Abbotsford

Door-to-door mail remaining in central Abby City barely ducks deadline for community mailbox transition Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News

Door-to-door mail delivery in central Abbotsford will continue for now, but community mailboxes are here to stay in outlying areas of the city. Canada Post halted its country-wide transition to community mailboxes on Oct. 26, which has been widely interpreted as a response to the newly elected Liberals’ promises to reverse the program. From this November onward, no more customers will lose door-to-door service. The switch to community mailboxes was supposed to save up to $500 million each year for the Crown corporation. Much of central Abbotsford,

in central Abbotsford, delivery people won’t be bringing mail to them. Community mailboxes, mainly in rural areas of the Fraser Valley, are a popular target for mail theft, according to the Abbotsford Police Department. A Chilliwack man has just been sentenced to jail for a string of mail thefts in the Agassiz and Mission areas. Judd said that aside from the number of jobs community mailboxes would eliminate, mail theft is another reason why her union opposes the conversion. “We’re not in favour of it. It provides one-stop shopping for people looking to steal identities, as well as other mail,” she said.

from the Clearbrook area to Sumas Way, was expected to move to community mailboxes in mid-November, but these areas will now receive door-to-door mail for the foreseeable future. Some other areas, such as Townline Hill, the Exhibition Park area, Huntingdon and South Poplar, have already switched to community mailbox service – and there, the mailboxes will stay. Canada Post did not return The News’ requests for comment by press time. Monica Judd, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers’ pacific region campaign coordinator, said even though some community mailboxes have been installed

Door-to-door mail service will continue for the time being in central Abbotsford, rather than at community mailboxes.

Quads need licence plates starting Nov. 1 Fine of $230 for driving an unlicensed off-road vehicle Tom FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. government is making licence plates mandatory for quads, dirt bikes and

other off-road vehicles starting Nov. 1, requiring helmets and restricting use by children under 16. The B.C. legislation

imposes a $230 fine for driving an unlicensed off-road vehicle, and a $368 fine for careless operation. For some offences under the Off-

Road Vehicle Act related to reckless use or environmental damage, penalties can go as high as a $5,000 fine and six months in jail.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson said the $48 licence fee applies only once when a vehicle is purchased, and was set to recover

the costs of the program administered by ICBC. Once startup costs are paid for, a portion of the licence revenue will go to off-

road clubs to use for trail improvements, Thomson said. The province estimates there are 200,000 off-road vehicles that require licensing, including snowmobiles that have been licensed since the 1970s. About 35,000 of those have registered voluntarily since the new licences were offered a year ago. Jeff Mohr, past president of the Quad Riders Association of B.C., said his members are most of the voluntary registrants so far, and they are pleased B.C. has a system to control the few users who ride recklessly or damage the environment. “We want to get more people out on the trails, sharing and enjoying the outdoors,” Mohr said. The licence system also allows police to track stolen vehicles, even if they are taken out of the province. B.C. is the last Canadian province to implement a licensing system. The Quad Riders and B.C.’s 72 snowmobile clubs are prepared to publicize the new regulations to their members, and Thomson said they will act as “eyes and ears” for conservation and natural resource enforcement officers.

An 1874 version of the Red Ensign flag has been presented to the B.C. government to commemorate the contribution of Indian Army soldiers to allied forces in World War I and their settlement in the province. Steven Purewal, founder of Indus Media Foundation Canada, presented the flag to Premier Christy Clark Oct. 28 as a symbol of their contribution. Here are excerpts from Purewal’s speech: “In 1849 Vancouver Island and the Punjab both became realms of the Crown. For the Punjab, the Victorian era opened up many opportunities within the vast military administration of the empire. And by the turn of the 19th Century, Punjabis had won many accolades as outstanding soldiers of the Queen in the various campaigns throughout Asia and Africa. “The heroic story of the Canadians in Flanders Fields is told in our classrooms. But what’s not told is that the Punjabis were standing united with Canada. They were there as brothers in arms and friends in need. They stood true despite the events of Vancouver. “On the centennial of World War I, our children should learn that the Indian Army won 9,000 gallantry awards, that the Indian Army fielded more men in World War I than all the other colonies put together, including Canada and Australia, that they were critical to the allied victory.”

As part of a study of “How has Rick Hansen changed attitudes towards disabilities?” a group of 60 grade 9 students from Rick Hansen School of Science and Business recently travelled to the Rick Hansen Institute. The event was planned by the Rick Hansen Foundation as a kick-off to a crosscurricular project these students are working on. On the trip, the Abbotsford students saw a demonstration of the latest assistive technologies for people with disabilities who are learning to walk, worked-out in a special gym designed to help people with disabilities to exercise, and were assigned to groups tasked with designing a wheelchair to allow someone with a disability to participate in an activity/sport of their choice. They concluded by presenting to their peers how their innovation would work. Students also had a special visit with Rick Hansen himself.

Bearcats basketball eye playoff berth Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News

The past two seasons, the Columbia Bible College Bearcats men’s basketball team won a combined six games. This year, in the club’s exhibition run, they’ve already won seven. It may only be exhibition but there’s a new vibe with the team, and much of that energy could be attributed to new head coach Matthew Boulton. It’s the first year as Bearcats head coach for Boulton but he brings a wealth of experience. He’s spent over 20 years coaching regional and provincial teams, including a combined eight years with UBC, UVic and TWU. Boulton also played at the CIS level with the Carleton Ravens. “I’ve been able to see a lot of the top programs in the coun-

Cascades hosting three-point contest Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News

The UFV athletic department is inviting local high school basketball players to compete for the title of Abbotsford’s Best Three-Point Shooter. In conjunction with Panago and the Abbotsford Police City Basketball

Tournament, the Cascades will be holding three-point shooting contests at halftime of their Canada West basketball home openers on Nov. 6 vs. the UBC-O Heat. The contest is open to male and female high school basketball players from

Abbotsford, and the format will be similar to the NBA threepoint shootout, in which players have one minute to shoot a total of 25 basketballs from five spots around the arc. The male and female contest winners will receive a package of prizes from

Cascades sponsors. The event is free to enter, and athletes must pre-register by emailing UFV events coordinator Alicia Hurley (alicia.hurley@ufv.ca) by noon on Nov. 5. The three-point

shootout is part of Cascades Tip-off Weekend presented by Panago, featuring games against UBC Okanagan on Friday, Nov. 6 (women 6 p.m., men 8 p.m.) and Saturday, Nov. 7 (women 5 p.m.,

men 7 p.m.) at UFV’s Envision Athletic Centre. High school, middle school and elementary basketball players wearing their team jerseys will receive free admission to both weekend

games, and there will be a School Spirit Award up for grabs on Friday for the group that shows the most enthusiasm during the threepoint shooting contests and Cascades games.

Telecare hosts Comedy improv night A night of improv comedy will benefit the local Telecare Crisis and Caring Line on Friday, Nov. 6. The show, called Whose Phone Line is it Anyway?, takes place at 7 p.m. at Cascade Community Church, 35190 DeLair Rd. Entertainers Chris Nash, Tia Glenn Cooke, and the Strom Brothers – Taylor, Clark and Eric – first met at Trinity Western University, where they quickly discovered their common love of comedy improv. The spontaneity of the art appealed to them and they have since put on several events. Joining the comedians as MC will be Bill Strom, communication professor at Trinity Western University and father of the Strom Brothers, himself a talented ventriloquist. Telecare Crisis and Caring Line is a ministry that responds to people who are experiencing emotional distress, and offers empathetic listening, exploration of options, and referrals. Tickets for the improv night are $20 and can be purchased online at telecarebc. com or by calling 604852-4058.

Rick Hansen Secondary in Abbotsford is one of 17 projects in B.C. that will each receive $8,000 in funding through the B.C. government’s K-12 Innovation Partnership program. The selected projects complement the new curriculum being phased in over the next three years and focus on handson project-based learning, supports for vulnerable and/or atrisk students, aboriginal learning, science and technology, and reporting and assessment practices. The funds provide support for teacher release time, research and project expenses. There will also be opportunities for project teams to collaborate with colleagues and explore concepts that could be adopted by other school districts. The 17 projects were selected by the Innovation Partnership Working Group, a collaboration of education partners that includes the BC Teachers’ Federation, the Ministry of Education and others. The working group received 77 proposals from 33 school districts and 19 independent schools. Rick Hansen Secondary is transforming into a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) school and business academy with an inqui-

Children’s hospital fundraiser Imagine holding your child’s hand when all of a sudden, their eyes go blank. The machines they are connected to begin to beep incessantly and doctors and nurses quickly jump into action. That is what Karm and Gary Ahuja of Abbotsford faced on Oct. 18, 2010. Their daughter Maya – just four months of age – had undergone openheart surgery to repair a hole in her heart and was in the recovery room at BC Children’s Hospital. Surgery had gone well, the doctors said, so the parents were beside their daughter when she suddenly flat-lined. The doctors and nurses were able to revive Maya and she spent the next week in a drug-induced coma, hooked up to a heart and lung machine. Thankfully, Maya was saved. She did face some health challenges the past few years, and still needs another heart surgery to correct a second hole they discovered during the initial operation. But her

A non-profit Fundraiser to help 6-year-old Greta in her battle against cancer.

Maya Ahuja family has not forgotten just how much BC Children’s Hospital helped save their little girl and thousands of others from across the province. They formed Team Miracle Maya in 2013 with a goal of raising $100,000 for the BC Children’s Hospital, as a way of saying thanks. In two years, Team Miracle Maya has raised close to $33,000. The majority of the money comes from the team’s annual gala fundraiser. This year’s event will be held Saturday, Nov. 7 at Surrey’s Bombay Banquet Hall. The event, which is presented by CabinetBed Inc. and Black Press, is a Diwali theme this year. Diwali is a festival of lights held each autumn and celebrates new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. The family-friendly evening begins at 6 p.m. and will feature a photo booth, silent auction, 50/50 draw and raffle prizes, as well as a toonie toss. The menu is a gourmet Indian buffet dinner. Tickets are $50 or $360 for a table of eight, with a portion of that eligible for a tax receipt. Kids 10 and under are free, and ages 11 to 17 are $25. For tickets, call 604613-5242 or email garyahuja@hotmail. com. Tickets will not be available at the door.

CEO combines tenacity and compassion to impact career and community

Janice Martin is the CEO of Magnum Consulting, Inc. and Wester Canadian director for the Friends of We Care.

If Janice Martin had to describe herself in one word, it would be tenacious. As for her work: rewarding. Those two adjectives summarize the kind of person Martin is and her commitment to her company and those it impacts. As CEO of Magnum Consulting, Inc., her job is to bring out the best in people and advocate for small business owners, both in retail and food service. “When business owners become bored or uninspired and are open to new things and suggestion, that is my perfect client,” she says. “It is about working with what they have already invested in, not about spending more money. I believe my work is valuable because these days because competition can be fierce, customers are savvy and their dollars are hard earned and customers need a recognized value in order to part with their money.” She knew she was on the right career path when she began throwing out ideas to business owners, who then applied the idea and saw growth in their bottom line. “When you inspire people in business to focus on the customer experience, you cannot go wrong,” says Martin. “That is exciting and

rewarding as a consultant.” But Martin is defined by much more than just her work. She is the Western Canadian director for the Friends of We Care, an arm of the National Easter Seals Charity that sends children with disabilities to summer camp, as well as the committee chair for the annual Friends of We Care bowling event, which also raises funds for all the Easter Seals summer camps in Vancouver and provinces across Canada. In the past she has worked on the culinary team for BC Children’s Telethon and says she is happy to serve any charity that asks for her help. As a sought-after speaker, emcee and facilitator,

Martin’s approachable nature, humour, and honesty has catapulted her into a leadership role both in her career and the community. She has spoken at highprofile events such as The Salvation Army’s Dignity for All, Women in Biz Network and many others. She is also currently writing her first book, Hollywood’s Not Calling, set to be published in late 2015. As a self-described “female cross between Dr. Phil and Gordon Ramsay,” Martin has thrived in life by being true to herself, leather jacket and all. “How you do one thing is how you do everything,” says Martin. Which is why her word “tenacious” certainly applies.

Arthritis Pain: Fighting Back with Acupuncture Arthritis is a difficult disease, as it can be very painful and limit your normal activities. You may not be able to ride a bike, go up and down stairs, or even walk around in your own home. Acute flare-ups can be triggered DR. CHRIS by a bit of extra exercise or a VALLEE simple change in the weather. Arthritis is simply inflammation in an articulate joint, but it can be so much more than just inflammation. It also creates swelling, and stiffness, and, over time, breaks down the joint so the cartilage and other collagen fibers wear down. Eventually, the joint itself is just bone on bone. Can acupuncture help this? Acupuncture is a treatment that has been used for centuries to treat pain and heal disease. When acupuncture needles are inserted into the skin at specific areas of the body, this sends signals to the brain to help heal the area being treated. Acupuncture works via a network of systems in the body called channels or meridians that act as pathways through which energy flows. Like a garden hose with water flowing through it, when the pathway is free of blocks than it allows energy to move to all areas of the body. Pain is telling the body that there is a blockage in the meridian, just as a kink in a garden hose cuts off the flow of water. The idea of acupuncture is to unblock the meridian to help create a better flow of energy and a better blood supply to the area, increasing the chance of healing and reducing pain. If you think of inflammation, you may think you should use ice to treat it; however, most people with arthritis find that heat actually feels better

than ice. People with arthritis generally don’t seek to retire up north or vacation in Alaska in winter. They know instinctively that cold isn’t going to help their joints and most seek the sun and warmth of a southern destination such as Mexico or Arizona. Heat in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is used to improve energy circulation and as pain blocks energy, we call arthritis Cold Bi (blockage) syndrome. So the best way to treat arthritis is to warm the body and move the energy with acupuncture. Western medicine normally treats arthritis with anti-inflammatory or pain medication, which is good for short-term relief but comes with side effects and can be toxic to the body if used over the long term. Natural remedies may be a good option for some people, for example, glucosamine sulfate has been found to be helpful in repairing joint tissue and devil’s claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) may help to control inflammation. An effective arthritis management plan might follow a complementary approach and draw on the best of both worlds: for an acute flare-up, take the western medicine to give fast relief, but also recognize that regular TCM treatments, such as acupuncture, can help to keep arthritis under control and discomfort levels down so that you can continue to stay active and enjoy the activities you love the best. The next time you get that stabbing pain in your arthritic knee, you might want to see what a couple of tiny needles can do to help you. A painless way to help treat your pain! Dr. Chris Vallee is a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Abbotsford.

Not all vision problems are directly correlated to aging. Adults should speak with their eye doctors about any problems they may be having.

Vision changes as you age As a person gets older certain bodily changes are to be expected. For example, muscle tone may diminish and bones can become more fragile as we age. Exercise and healthy eating may be able to stave off some of the effects of aging, but avoiding vision problems may require some additional effort. Vision naturally diminishes as we age, but not all vision changes are related to aging. Many natural changes are not severe and may only require a minor adjustment in prescription glasses or contact lenses. Improved lighting or bigger print may help remedy other issues, including blurry text. However, certain conditions that people blame on getting older really may be hereditary or a byproduct of an illness. There’s a difference between changes that are the result of aging and those that are not. Recognizing the differences can help individuals get the treatment necessary to prevent permanent eye damage.

Q AGE-RELATED CHANGES Difficulty seeing clearly for reading and close work is one of the most common age-related vision issues. This condition can begin as early as age 40 and worsen as a person gets older. Variation in the eyes’ ability to focus properly is

called presbyopia, and it will worsen over time. Other normal signs of aging include problems with glare from headlights or the sun. Lens changes in the eye can cause light to be scattered rather than focused on the retina. This leads to more glare. In dim conditions, a person may find he or she needs more light to see well. That’s because muscles that control pupil size and reaction to light lose some strength. Changes in color perception also may begin. The normally clear lens of the eye can discolor, making it difficult to distinguish between certain hues.

Q CONDITIONS NOT DIRECTLY TIED TO AGING Certain eye disorders may become more prevalent as a person gets older, but that does not mean they are a byproduct of aging. Macular degeneration, which causes spotty loss of detail or sudden and severe loss of central vision, may occur. This condition is a result of damage to the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for detail, color and daylight vision. Risk factors for macular degeneration include high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, and untreated high blood pressure. Poor circulation to the retina is

the most common cause of macular degeneration.

Q GLAUCOMA Glaucoma is another condition linked to aging. Glaucoma is caused by damage to the optic nerve by fluid pressure inside the eye. Patients with glaucoma typically do not exhibit early symptoms. Glaucoma is only detectable through routine vision examinations. According to the Mayo Clinic, about half of all 65-year-old Americans have some degree of cataract formation in their eyes. People who have cataracts may think they’re an unavoidable part of getting older. While aging may increase the risk of getting cataracts, according to Lighthouse International its true cause is unknown. Other risks include long-term exposure to the sun’s rays, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, and eye injury. Illnesses like diabetes can affect eyesight in many different ways. Proper treatment for diabetes and management of the condition can prevent a number of eye disorders. Adults should not assume all vision changes are a direct result of getting older. Annual vision examinations by qualified eye doctors can pinpoint the cause of problems and find treatment options that are successful.

Keep your children’s mouth healthy during Halloween and year-round Q CHEW GUM WITH NO SUGAR Chewing sugarless gum for 20 minutes after meals helps reduce tooth decay, because increased saliva flow helps wash out food and neutralize the acid produced by dental plaque bacteria. Q BRUSH TWICE A DAY Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes with a fluoride toothpaste. Remember, replace your toothbrush every three or four months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won't do a good job of cleaning your teeth. Q USE A FLOSS Don’t forget to floss your teeth at least once a day. Decay-causing bacteria get between teeth where toothbrush bristles can't reach. Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth and under the gum line. Q VISIT YOUR DENTIST Regular visits to your dentist can help prevent problems from occurring and catch those that do occur early, when they are easy to "treat." Dr. R. K. Arya is a dentist located in Abbotsford.

production increases during meals and helps cancel out acids produced by bacteria in your mouth and helps rinse away food particles. Q AVOID STICKY CANDY Sticky candies cling to your teeth. The stickier candies, like taffy and gummy bears, take longer to get washed away by saliva, increasing the risk for tooth decay. Q DRINK MORE WATER Drinking water frequently can help prevent tooth decay. If you choose bottled water, look for kinds that are fluoridated. (In Abbotsford the city water is non fluoridated) Q HEALTHY DIET Maintaining your body is like a complex machine. The foods you choose as fuel and how often you "fill up" affect your general health and that of your teeth and gums. Cheese, fibrous foods etc. are good for you. Q STAY AWAY FROM SUGARY BEVERAGES This includes soda, sports drinks and flavored waters. When teeth come in frequent contact with beverages that contain sugar, the risk of tooth decay is increased.

Q WHAT KIND OF CANDY TO AVOID Hard candy and other sweets that stay in your mouth for a long time. Aside from how often you snack, the length of time sugary food is in your mouth plays a role in tooth decay. Unless it is a sugarfree product, candies that stay in the mouth for a long period of time subject teeth to an increased risk for tooth decay. Q RIGHT TIME FOR CANDIES Eat Halloween candy (and other sugary foods) with meals or shortly after mealtime. Saliva

Autumn is a time of year when homes get dressed up with scarecrows and jack-o-lanterns as kids plan their perfect Halloween costumes and seemingly every recipe has a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg added in for good measure. Apples also experience a surge in visibility come the fall. Apples are one of the most widely-grown tree fruits and become available for picking in early fall. They can be put to use in all different types of food applications — from desserts to sauces to beverages. As a standalone snack, apples are a healthy source of antioxidants and fiber. Apples have many other qualities and an interesting history. Consider these facts about apples. • The term “apple” comes from the Olde English word, “aeppel.” • Apples are believed to have originated somewhere between the Caspian and Black Seas, but now they are grown all over the world. • The main producers of apples in the United States include the states of Washington, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, California, and Virginia. • There are thousands of different apple varieties.

They’re not harmful if eaten in small quantities. • Many apple harvests are still picked by hand. • Fifteen types of apples account for 90 percent of total production. Red Delicious, Gala, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, and Fuji lead the way. • A bushel of apples weighs 42 pounds while a peck weighs approximately 10.5 pounds. • The crabapple is the only apple native to North America. • Apple trees won’t bear their first fruits until they have matured four to five years. • The largest apple picked weighed three pounds. • Apples are good Halloween bounty to receive in lieu of candy.

As title sponsor, Assante Wealth Management has been involved in the Charity Golf Classic for 12 years, while Sunrise Toyota’s support in this charitable community event extends back over 20 years! The underlying goal for this event has, and will always be, to raise funds to help support the hard work and efforts in providing mentoring for today’s youth, here in the Fraser Valley.

This year, perfect weather complimented a perfect day for our 27th Annual Golf Tournament at Ledgeview Golf Club and it was topped off by our first-ever Sunrise Toyota “Hole in One”! The big winner, Elmer Wiebe, aced the 165-yard hole #8 as the final group playing this hole on the day! And, as past participants in this event, Elmer, his wife and friends not only spent the day “golfing for the kids’ sake” while supporting the work Big Brothers Big Sisters does in the community, he also went home with a brand new Toyota thanks to the sponsorship of Sunrise Toyota!

Canadian Ski Patrol hosting winter fundraiser Organization seeks clothing and textiles to fund rescue and safety missions The Canadian Ski Patrol (CSP) wants what you don’t want. The CSP’s Winter Clothing Drive fundraiser gives everyone the opportunity to de-clutter closets and cupboards, as well as divert unwanted goods and textiles from the nation’s landfills. Currently the average person discards 70 pounds of clothing a year into landfills, and 95 per cent of that clothing can be recycled. Donations help raise

money to support the CSP’s delivery of advanced first aid, safety and rescue services by 4,500 CSP volunteers across Canada. Items will be sent to a company that provides a monetary donation for every pound of goods collected and the goal is to collect more than 40,000 pounds of used clothing and household items. Donations collected during this fundraiser will be received by the Salvation

Army Thrift Store. The Canadian Ski Patrol is looking for the following items in bags: gently used clothing, shoes, purses and belts, as well as bed and bath linens.

We humbly THANK our loyal customers and friends for recognizing and supporting our efforts.

COMING SOON SPRING 2016

As an eight year A List Finalist and your favourite Import dealership, the staff and management felt the need to expand the dealership and construct a newer building with a larger footprint to meet the needs of our loyal customers. The Honda Way is pleased and excited to announce we have started construction of our new home at the east end of the loop in the Fraser Valley Auto Mall. We continue to perform in our current facility.

The impetus to make this move was the direct result of the popularity and growth of our Honda brand. Further to this, the dedicated team have earned and deserve the opportunity to grow as we prosper, as well as experience the best of the best in our future working environment.

When we unveil our new store this spring, customers will experience efficiency, selection and expanded

service bays to meet every facet of their driving needs! It’s our best way to say thanks and we want to keep our customers and shoppers happy!

As a locally-owned Honda dealership, we recognize the importance of providing employment to the community and our expansion will increase the need for more employment opportunities. The more sales and service we provide, simply strengthens

the city’s tax base and infrastructure. It is our desire to foster a sense of community with our new facility. Honda owners are some of the most loyal in the auto industry and they deserve a new dealership which will impress Honda owners and shoppers alike. We are proud, thankful and looking forward to spring of 2016! The 50+ staff - The Honda Way
