Tax increase of 2.57% planned by city Amount covers rising costs, police and library allocations Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News

Abbotsford taxes are set to rise by 2.57 per cent in 2016, with an increase of 1.59 per cent in general tax and an additional 0.87 per cent added for police services and 0.11 per cent for the Fraser Valley Regional Library. Water and sewer fees are staying put, though

tiered pricing for heavy users is being eliminated. The new budget plan would result in roughly $53 more in annual property taxes for an owner of a $406,000 single family residence, a reference value provided by the city. The increase is called for in response to rising contract costs, such as construction and main-

tenance, fuel and natural gas expenses, and a reduction in the amount of investment income. The plan will focus on early payout of water and sewer debt in 2016, toward an overall goal of reducing the city’s long-term debt load, which stands at about $70 million, the majority of which was borrowed to build the Abbotsford Continued on A4

A 17-year-old boy remains in critical condition after being airlifted to hospital on Wednesday following an accident at the McMillan Skatepark in Abbotsford. A family friend told The News on Thursday afternoon, just before press deadline, that Justin Walsh was in an induced coma in the intensive care unit of Royal Columbian Hospital, and his prognosis was unclear. He has bleeding on the front left side of his brain, and his cheekbone is broken. Walsh suffered a serious head injury while riding his BMX bike at the park – located at the corner of Old Yale and McMillan roads – at about 5 p.m. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said the teen had attempted a jump, but went over the handlebars and crashed to

Arena loss projected at $2.7M From A1

Centre. Debt for the facility will remain outstanding until 2032. The overall operating expenses for the city are budgeted at $184 million, with capital costs budgeted at $40 million. There are over 800 city employees. The arena will continue to operate at a loss, projected at $2.7 million in 2016, factoring in the cost of debt interest. The city implemented a plan last year called â&#x20AC;&#x153;A New Gameâ&#x20AC;? that aims to increase community programming in the facility. The library increase, as determined by the Fraser Valley Regional Library board, includes contractual increases in labour costs and an inflationary increase in the cost of purchasing library materials. The police budget increase would fund five new positions: four investigative sup-

port officers and one IT help desk analyst. Investigative support officers are not trained to the same level as regular police officers, and are paid at a lower rate. They support police with routine tasks like collecting witness statements and processing probation check-ins. Budget documents said the city will continue work in 2016 on a revised Official Community Plan along with neighbourhood-level plans, which will be completed with community input. There was a municipal tax decrease of 0.41 per cent in 2014, in contrast to increases over several previous years. Taxes increased 5.5 per cent in 2009, 4.5 per cent in 2010, and 4.3 per cent in 2011; the city then saw more-modest hikes of 1.66 per cent in 2012 and 1.28 per cent in 2013. The financial plan is set to receive final approval at a Nov. 16 council meeting.

the ground. He was not wearing a helmet at the time, MacDonald said. Walsh was transported from the scene by air ambulance. The family friend said that Walsh and her son, who are best friends, ride their bikes daily at the skate park. The friend said the family was appreciative of a woman on the scene who was directed to Walshâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, where she informed

JUSTIN WALSH his parents of the situation and then drove them to the skate park.

The friend said the family is now likely to face some financial struggles related to Walshâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery. For example, his parents, Tracey and Gerard, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own a car and are having to borrow vehicles to get to and from the hospital. A GoFundMe account has been set up to help them with gas expenses and perhaps to purchase a used vehicle. The account can be accessed at gofundme.com/ ck8fykn8.-

City files suit to move sex offender The City of Abbotsford has resorted to the courts in its battle to remove child sex offender James Conway from a home on Joanita Place in Abbotsford. The city this week filed a notice of civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court against property owners Brian Vos and Fiona Mitchell, as well as WJS Canada, which operates supervision and care facilities in B.C., Alberta and Ontario and provides supervision, counsellling and treatment for high-risk individuals. The suit alleges that the defendants are using the property for â&#x20AC;&#x153;commercial, institutional and care uses,â&#x20AC;? which are not permit-

Mayor Henry Braun announced in September that the defendants had been notified of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position and that Conway, along with the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other resident â&#x20AC;&#x201C; also a former inmate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a caregiver had been asked to move. They have not done so, resulting in the city filing the civil suit. The defendants have not yet filed a response. Conway, 40, has a history of sexual offences against children.

A 34-year-old man showed up at Abbotsford Regional Hospital on Tuesday night with a gunshot wound to his leg, but police are having difficulty determining exactly what happened because he is revealing few details. Const. Ian MacDonald said police were notified at about 11:40 p.m. that the victim had turned up at hospital after being brought there by a friend. MacDonald said the man and the friend have had â&#x20AC;&#x153;extensive negative contactsâ&#x20AC;? with police, but primarily in areas outside of Abbotsford. He is not believed to be a current Abbotsford resident nor does the incident appear to have any links to the ongoing Townline Hill gang conflict in west Abbotsford, MacDonald said. He said the victim has not co-operated with police, including information about where the incident occurred and who was involved. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225, text abbypd (222973) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

ROBBER SENTENCED A 27-year-old man has been sentenced to a jail term of one year less a day for committing two robberies in Abbotsford within an hour of each other in 2013. Kerry Paul Morin had previously pleaded guilty to three charges â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two counts of robbery and one count of using an imitation firearm. Morin robbed the Red Apple Food Store on Marshall Road and an Esso convenience store on Huntingdon Road on Oct. 22, 2013. After the robberies, police released a photo of him and a video, asking for the public help in identifying him. Morin was arrested a month later while walking in the 9500 block of 199A Street in Langley. His jail term will be followed by one year of probation.

Judge throws out gun charges Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A judge has ruled that a man charged in 2014 with several firearms offences experienced a “serious violation” of his charter rights during his arrest, and all charges should be dropped. The ruling in favour of Timothy Joseph Ulm, 29, was made Oct. 30 in B.C. Supreme Court in Chilliwack. He had been charged with four firearms-related offences and one count of breaching a court order. Ulm was arrested on Aug. 24, 2014 following a traffic stop on the

Abbotsford-Mission Highway (Highway 11). Mission RCMP Const. Powell first spotted Ulm driving on the Lougheed Highway near the Mission-Maple Ridge border at about 12:30 a.m. and noticed a motorcycle, with its lights flashing, strapped onto the bed of Ulm’s truck. Powell had a hunch that the bike might be stolen – there had been several motorcycle thefts in Mission at the time – and she followed Ulm onto the Mission Bridge, and then pulled him over on Highway

11. Powell contacted dispatch and discovered that Ulm was serving a non-custodial conditional sentence and was required to have a copy of his order on him. She also learned that one of his conditions prohibited him from possessing firearms. Ulm did not have a copy of his conditional sentence order (CSO), but Powell was satisfied with his explanation that he thought he had left it behind on Vancouver Island on a trip there, Justice Neill Brown stated in his ruling.

A second officer, Const. Tilman arrived and the two officers confirmed the motorcycle was not stolen. As Powell was informing Ulm that she was going to let him go, Tilman peered inside Ulm’s truck and saw part of a gun. A more thorough search of the vehicle turned up a 12-gauge shotgun, ammunition for the shotgun and a folding knife. Ulm was arrested on the scene. Brown ruled that Ulm’s charter rights were violated from the start of the incident,

saying that Ulm being detained at the side of the road was “arbitrary.” Further, Powell failed to tell him that she had done so to investigate whether he was transporting a stolen motorcycle and that he was not obliged to answer questions. The judge also said both officers were negligent when they failed to provide Ulm with charter warnings before searching his truck. Brown threw out the evidence and acquitted Ulm of all charges after the Crown called no further evidence.

Legal fees necessary to avoid ‘chaos and anarchy’: Mayor Resident criticizes city’s involvement in various court cases Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News

Mayor Henry Braun had ready answers for a concerned resident questioning why the city has been involved in a number of lawsuits over recent years – such as seeking a court order to shut down marijuana dispensaries, and the recent B.C. Supreme Court case challenge of a bylaw prohibiting camping in public places. “If the law doesn’t mean anything … by definition, that’s chaos,” said Braun. “If you want to see what happens in those kind of societies, usually it means anarchy, which means, ‘I can go shoot somebody’… I don’t want to live in a town like that.” The mayor continued, “In a perfect

world, people would just obey the law … but unfortunately, in some cases we just find ourselves in that position and we have to defend or uphold our bylaws.” He described a city beset by residents intent on challenging municipal bylaws, which has forced the city to often meet those challengers in court. Ideally, he’d prefer fewer of those challenges, so money spent on legal fees could instead go toward services. According to city spokesperson Katherine Treloar, the total amount spent on legal fees by the city is not publicly reported, as the cost is spread between various departmental budgets. She said this information is available via freedom-of-information re-

quests, a process which takes weeks or months. The criticism was brought forward by local resident Rolf Van Nuys at the Nov. 2 council meeting, who criticized council for not revealing the city’s costs in fighting the recent B.C. Supreme Court lawsuit brought by a group of homeless people seeking to sleep in city parks. The decision on that case, issued on Oct. 21, was to allow overnight shelters on park land. “[The fees] seem to be a secret for some reason I don’t understand,” said Van Nuys. The News has sought this information through freedom-of-information requests, which were rejected as these legal fees were considered privileged legal information.

Should the city release the legal costs of the court challenge of the public camping bylaw by the homeless?

Everyone needs to email the local MLAs on this and cc the premier. Both Plecas and Gibson campaigned on opposing new mines on the mountain and supported a moratorium. Keep it respectful and discuss the impact on you personally as well as relate the concerns you have for losing public use of recreation, environmental impact and the fact that it is the last real greenspace in the Fraser Valley, etc. TM Sandulak

Debt has consequences

and oil revenues have declined significantly and this gravy train is slowing. Our debt woes increase when we add provincial debt. In B.C., every person’s share of the provincial debt is $14,443. Combined government debt for British Columbians is $31,609 per person, which is slightly less than Greece’s $38,547. We can take some solace from the fact that principled leadership in Ontario and Quebec is even less evident where individual portions of provincial debt are more than $21,000. Debt has consequences. Interest rates can soar and some of us recall the end of Pierre Trudeau’s tenure when rates hit 22 per cent. How many Canadian families can withstand a financial hit when interest rates increase, especially when household debt now on credit cards is close to a whopping average of $30,000? Canada used to be known as a nation of savers. In 1982, we stockpiled 20 per cent of our annual income. But

by 2014, that rate was down to 3.6 per cent and Canadians are second only to Greece in the growth rate of household debt. The Conference Board of Canada reports that during the 1980s, interest payments on our national debt caused Canadians a 12 per cent decline in standard of living and in the 1990s another 13 per cent. We are compensating for these declines to our detriment by racking up personal debt. In 1990, families had debts equal to 89 per cent of their annual disposable income. Today, it is 165 per cent. Every Canadian should take one hour and Google “Debt clock in Canada,” which will open eyes to our perilous future. Politicians like spending other people’s money and there is only one way to deal with their foolishness. When they incur a deficit, 25 per cent of their salary should be the first repayment before taxing their constituents.

During the federal election, Justin Trudeau’s TV ad while posing on the escalator carefully manufactured a deception that Canada was in recession. This clever spin was necessary to sell his solution that going into financial deficit for the next three years is a necessity. While the oil sector is in the doldrums, Canada’s economy is strong, but many Canadians were taken in by his misleading comment. Justin’s father, Pierre Trudeau, governed Canadians with a similar attitude. When he became PM, national debt for every person, including babies, was $687. By the time he left, each Canadian’s share of the debt increased 750 per cent to $5,160. By 1998, the pattern of overspending increased national debt per Canadian to $18,432 before more principled leadership emerged so that today’s debt is $17,166 per person. However, we cannot underestimate the importance in the last 20 years that oil revenues contributed to our inflated lifestyle. Both gas

School district says openness vital to feedback Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

A group of local parents concerned with special needs issues have sent an open letter to the Abbotsford school district expressing concern with its recent online feedback process. The group, which calls itself Abbotsford Parent Action and says it has 50 members, says the district’s “Thought Exchange” program resulted in hurtful comments being posted online, where other parents could then vote to give them more prominence. However, the Abbotsford school district says that while the comments are monitored and filtered, an open exchange of ideas is vital for administrators to accurately gauge how the district can improve. The comments (with no names attached) were grouped into categories and by schools. They were viewable by other parents, who could signal which posts they agreed with. In their letter, Abbotsford Parent Action cited two specific comments posted online. One said, in part “special needs have created a reverse problem in the interest of inclusion. I appreciate a handicap child’s access to school, friends, education, etc. when a child is too severely handicap and require constant supervision to the adverse impact on other students then a line needs to be drawn. one child couldn’t be trusted not to hit the

other students. this is too far!” The comment received 37 “stars” by other parents. The other comment said students with behavioural and learning disabilities consume too much teacher time, and there should be only one or two such students in each class. It received 53 stars. The letter said such comments “offer the opportunity for others to pile on and further marginalize and exclude students who experience challenges and their parents. Further, they detract attention away from the real issue which is the ongoing lack of support for students who have special needs in our school district.” Rebecca Lawlor, one of the members of the group and the mother of a son with autism, said the comments are hurtful to parents of children with disabilities, and especially those children mentioned specifically, even if not by name. Lawlor said that while feedback is necessary, issues involving individuals should be addressed with teachers and principals, not posted online. School district spokesperson Dave Stephen said, “To be authentic and open, we really have to allow for some diversity of opinion. We may not agree with all the comments expressed ... but for the process to be true we allow for comments that may be uncomfortable for some, but I think we need to be open for discussion and debate.”

Support groups for caregivers Friendship and information provided by organization The Alzheimer Society of B.C. offers free caregiver support and information groups in Abbotsford and Mission. Participants meet monthly to share practical tips and strategies for living with dementia. “They create support and friendship with others whose lives are affected by dementia,” says Cyndi McLeod, education and support coordinator. The groups serve people who want current information that will help improve the quality of life for themselves and their family member.

In addition to joining support and information groups, McLeod says caregivers can think about some of these strategies to take care of themselves. These include: ■ staying fit – activity is key for physical and mental health. Walking or any other exercise helps. So does healthy eating. ■ making time for yourself – take some time regularly for activities that you enjoy. You’ll likely have to arrange for someone else to be with your family member, so plan ahead.

■ creating a sanctuary – since the demands of caregiving sometimes make it difficult to leave your home, designate a room in the house as your quiet space. Spend a few minutes there each day, away from the demands of your life. ■ accepting help – this can be as difficult as asking for help, but it’s important. Whenever family and friends offer you assistance, take them up on it. For more information, local residents can contact Cyndi McLeod at 604-702-4603 or cmcleod@alzheimerbc.org.

Children’s author to sign books Diane Welch presents ‘Mr. Nobody’ series Abbotsford author Diane Welch will sign copies of her children’s books at several upcoming appearances. Welch is the author of three books entitled Introducing Mr. Nobody (2013) and two new books, Mr. Nobody’s Shenanigans and Mr. Nobody’s Christmas Treasury. The books were inspired by their children Katie, Hope, Page and Austin and their adventures. Her book signings take place Nov. 14 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Surrey Chapters location; Nov. 20 to 22 at the West Coast Christmas Show at Tradex; and on Dec. 11 from 8 to 10 p.m. and Dec. 18 from 1 to 3 p.m. at House of James in Abbotsford. The books are available at Chapters, Indigo, Coles, House of James, Papermoon and Amazon online.

Hein releases new book Abbotsford author Wilfried Hein is launching his newly published book A Witness in Times of War and Peace. The story is a translation of Gerhard Hein’s searing memoir that describes the struggles a Mennonite pastor experiences during the Second World War. Gerhard Hein (Wilf’s father) is a practising Mennonite when he is called up for duty, and he must reconcile his pacifist beliefs with the obligation to serve in Germany’s Wehrmacht. Hein translated his father’s war-time story and biography because he believes that people can and should learn from historic events. A book signing event will take place at the House of James on Saturday, Nov. 21 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

‘Born in Abbotsford’ often a misnomer last 20 years that anyone has actually been born “in Abbotsford.” Until 1972, Abbotsford was a mere village of 160 acres surrounded by the municipalities of Matsqui and Sumas. The dividing line between the two districts was McCallum Road with MSA Hospital on the Matsqui side. However, despite its location and what was interpreted as one’s birthplace, it was often the hospital of choice and nearby convenience for Sumas, Wash. moms giving birth. For example, one of my neighbours was not only born on this side of the border in the 1950s, she and her sisters also went to high school in Abbotsford. I mention sisters because she is one of a set of triplet girls, one of the few, if not the only, set of triplets born in MSA Hospital. Perhaps another advantage for the children of Americans born here is that they could benefit from the eligibility of dual citizenship, which would have made, especially in those days, crossing the border essentially hassle-free. In fact, regardless of your citizenship and before the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, stopping at the border crossing was little more than a formality. When I used to meet Dale or other friends in Sumas for a beer and a game of pool, we were rarely asked more than “Where are you going?” followed by “Have a nice evening.”

Mark

Rushton Faces, Places and Traces Today, I doubt there are many, if any, Americans choosing to give birth in Abbotsford – or anywhere else in

Canada for that matter. And I’m pretty certain none are now casually walking across the border to attend local pub-

lic schools. What brings those certainties to mind is that also last week I read of an American push to not only further tighten border security but, in an attempt to foil terrorist incursions, build a fence along the entire 8,900 kilometres of the dividing line between Canada and the U.S. of A. That proposed

fence would not only be built along our southern boundary, but on the Alaska boundary abutting B.C. and the Yukon as well. A ridiculous proposal and one that, if it ever comes to fruition, would be outrageously expensive and difficult to construct. Interestingly, accompanying the dividing fence

story was a photo of two U.S. border patrol members riding a rugged and snow-covered section of the boundary on two tracked ATVs. What made me smile was that the vehicles they were using are Canadianmade machines! I guess we can’t be all that bad. markrushton@ abbynews.com

Like most people my age, one section of the daily newspaper that’s almost required reading is the obituaries – you never know when someone you know/ knew gets their picture in the paper one last time. So it was this week that I recognized a face from the past, a guy I haven’t seen for close to 40 years. His picture, however, was from about the time when we used to shoot pool together in Sumas, Wash. Good thing too, because while I knew his first name and what he looked like, I never did learn his last name. When we met, he’d recently returned from his second tour of duty in Vietnam, a sergeant who carried a SAW (for the uninitiated, Squad Automatic Weapon, or machine gun). The weapon was a heavy one, but Dale Deem was a pretty big guy. However, by then the war was over and he was looking for work. Over the years he was variously a Sumas, Wash. police officer, cashier at Bromley’s Market and at lumber companies on both sides of the border. What surprised me in the obituary details was that Dale, like many kids who grew up in Sumas in the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s, was born “in Abbotsford.” Those quotes are important because back then, and I believe until the mid-1990s, anyone born in MSA Hospital actually had “Matsqui, British Columbia” on their birth certificate. In fact, it’s only in the

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.

HONOURING OUR VETERANS

Remembrance Day NOVEMBER 11, 2015

Poppies and remembrance Throughout the world, the poppy is associated with remembrance of those who died in order that we may be free, but how many of us are aware of the reason the poppy became the symbol of remembrance and an integral part of the work of the Royal Canadian Legion? Flanders is the name of the whole western part of Belgium. It saw some of the most concentrated and bloodiest fighting of the First World War. There was complete devastation. Buildings, roads, trees and natural life simply disappeared. Where once there were homes and farms there was now a sea of mud – a grave for the dead where men still lived and

fought. Only one other living thing survived. The poppy, flowering each year with the coming of the warm weather, brought life, hope, colour and reassurance to those still fighting. Poppies only flower in rooted up soil. Their seeds can lie in the ground for years without germinating, and only grow after the

ground has been disturbed. John McCrae, a doctor serving with the Canadian Armed Forces, was so deeply moved by what he saw in northern France that, in 1915 in his pocket book, he scribbled down the poem “In Flanders Fields”. McRae’s poem was eventually published in ‘Punch” magazine under the title “In

O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home. Isaac Watts

Flanders Fields”. The poppy became a popular symbol for soldiers who died in battle. In 1918 Moira Michael, an American, wrote a poem in reply, “We shall keep the faith”, in which she promised to wear a poppy ‘in honour of our dead’. This began the tradition of wearing a poppy in remembrance. While it is more important to wear a poppy than worry about which side you should wear it, some people prefer to wear a poppy on the left, over their hearts. However the general rule is to wear it left for men (because that’s where medals go) and right for women (because that’s where a widow would wear her husband’s medals).

Eckstein earns Series ring Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News

The Kansas City Royals World Series win has an Abbotsford connection and one local will soon possess the jewelry to prove it. Corey Eckstein, who works as a part-time scout for Western Canada for the Royals, watched on with glee as the Royals defeated the New York Mets on Nov. 1 to win the 2015 World Series. Eckstein has worked for the Royals for the past three years, while also being heavily involved in the local, provincial and national baseball scene for a number of years. He said he’s proud to be a small part of the championship team. “I wasn’t surprised we won despite all the late-inning heroics,”

he said. “When you he said. “There are have the best defen- baseball people who sive team in baseball spend a lifetime in with a strong support- this game who never ive pitching staff it get a chance to remakes things a little ceive one and now I easier on the offence. have two in two years, The organization which is mind blowcares about you deep- ing.

He also coaches the Baseball B.C. Selects program and was a coach for the Canadian Junior National team. Eckstein’s own playing career was cut short due to injury back in 2005. He was a star pitcher for the Canadian Junior National team and had a scholarship to Vernon College in Texas removed after he experienced elbow stiffness after Tommy John surgery.

The Columbia Bible College Bearcats men’s and women’s basketball teams started the Pacwest season the right way on Friday. The clubs opened the 2015-16 season in Surrey to take on the Kwantlen Polytechnic University Eagles, and both teams posted wins to start the season. It took a little longer for the men’s team to pick up the win, as they outlasted the Eagles 85-82 in overtime. CBC opened up a 20-15 lead in the first half but the Eagles battled back in the second quarter. The Bearcats came out strong in the third quarter, putting up 34 points, but again the Eagles clawed back and managed to send the game to overtime.

Elijah Calhoun had a game-high 32 points for CBC, and Kevin Davis had a strong night, with 15 points, 29 rebounds and five assists. Jamie Konrad added 17 points, including shooting five of eight three-point shots. The Bearcats shot 34 per cent, but dominated on the glass, out-rebounding the Eagles 60-38. They also bettered the Eagles on the offensive glass 26-7. Free throw shooting was another strength for the Bearcats, as Calhoun went a perfect 13 for 13 from the charity stripe, and he and Konard went four for four in the final minute of overtime to secure the win. Men’s head coach Matthew Boulton said he needs more from

his team in future games. “A greater defensive effort and more execution on offence will be required to be successful against Quest University and Langara College this coming weekend,” he said. The women’s team dispatched the Eagles 86-55 to kick off the season with a win. It marks the first time in school history that both the men’s and women’s teams opened the season with a victory. CBC travels to Squamish to take on the Quest Kermodes on Friday, and then Vancouver to battle the Langara Falcons. The team’s home opener occurs on Nov. 13 when the Camosun College Chargers come to town.

last year’s leader in assists Celeste Dyck, and top scorer Nataliia Gavryliuk, but there are some familiar faces coming back and some new talent. Returning forward Katie Brink is set to be reunited with her W.J. Mouat Hawks B.C. AAA high school championship teammate Kayli Sartori, who helped the Cascades win a national bronze medal before electing to take a season off to work on her family’s farm. “Katie and Kayli have experienced a lot of success together – they’ve won championships and been key to some of our past success,” Tuchscherer said. “They lead us competitively, they play a physical brand of basketball, and they’re highly skilled in their positions.” Also arriving to the Cascades are a pair of high-profile transfers in Shayna Cameron and Sydney Williams. Cameron helped lead the Quest Kermodes to back-to-back Pacwest titles in 2014 and 2015, and Williams is a former Canada West rookie of the year with the TRU Wolfpack in 2013. Both are expected to play key roles on the Cascades. The games kick off at 6 p.m. for the women and 8 p.m. for the men on Friday, and then 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday at the Envision Athletic Centre at UFV. Friday’s games will include high school girls and boys threepoint shooting contests at halftime, presented by the Abbotsford Police City Basketball Tournament. Schoolaged athletes wearing their team jerseys will receive free admission to all weekend games.

the University of the Fraser Valley. Naranjan Singh Grewall’s pioneering leadership in Mission and his service to our province have been an inspiration to many. Tonight’s event is about remarkable journeys, but it is also about remarkable legacies. Mr. Grewall’s legacy includes those next-generation Indo-Canadian leaders who have continued to play such a vital role in the development of the Fraser Valley. It is those next-generation leaders who have also guided and supported the establishment of UFV’s internationally recognized Centre for IndoCanadian Studies, our Chair in Canada-India Business and Economic Development, and our campus in the Punjab, linking Mr. Grewall’s birthplace and his adopted home.” I remember doing all the research back in the mid 1990s and showcasing his life on many occasions and presentations during the past 20 years; otherwise, it was pretty much archived information. He played an important role in our community and country. Naranjan Grewall, Moe Gill, Jati Sidhu and Kelly Chahal, who became the first South Asian female to be elected to Abbotsford council in 2014, have all become political game-changers in the Valley for the future generations.

He said the clogged conditions on the some of the time, he said, resulting in Pattullo and its approaches stem from much less congested conditions at peak the decision to toll the Port Mann Bridge hours for drivers who opt to pay the tolls. “The fundamental problem with road without a coordinated approach at other congestion is not that there are too many crossings.

Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Metro Vancouver’s bridge and tunnel traffic pinch points should all be tolled as part of a road pricing pilot project to battle worsening congestion. Harmonized bridge tolling here is one of the proposals on the potential for congestion pricing outlined in a new report by Canada’s Ecofiscal Commission, a think tank of economists. It provides more ammunition for area mayors – who are already studying road pricing – and makes the case that road space is a scarce resource in high demand that is overused if it’s free, and is conserved and used more efficiently when there’s a charge. “Governments have been trying lots of things and for the most part they hav-

cars. The problem is there are too many cars on a particular road at a particular time.” Ragan suggests tolls vary depending on the time of day and the intensity of congestion. “At 2 in the morning your toll might be zero because the road is empty. But at 6 p.m. that is peak time and that is when you actually pay a toll.” The commission’s proposal for bridge tolling is based strictly on delivering relief from congestion, not as a method to raise more revenue for transit or to replace existing bridges. It acknowledges the provincial government would have to change its tolling policy, which currently allows tolls only on new infrastructure and only when there’s a reasonable free alternative.

Bernie and Red perform in Abbotsford on Nov. 29 as part of their 50th anniversary tour. Husband and wife duo Bernie and Red perform in Abbotsford on Sunday, Nov. 29 as part of their 50th anniversary tour. The comedy and music team perform at 2 p.m. at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, with proceeds going to the Abbotsford branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. Bernie and Red met as teenagers in Liverpool, England, and subsequently married. Bernie worked as a salesman and Red was a stay-athome mother of two. They were looking for adventure, a rural lifestyle, fresh air and open spaces and so they moved to Canada, where they began to take music and entertaining seriously.

Prior to that, it was just a few songs sung by Red to Bernie’s guitar accompaniment at family gatherings, but they soon found that the Canada of the 1970s was fertile ground for their unusual mixture of music and comedy. Their entertainment gigs initially had to fit in with Bernie’s cow-milking schedule, but before long, Bernie quit milking cows, and the couple began performing full-time. They were soon travelling worldwide via their cruise ship performances. This 50th anniversary tour has seen them perform throughout North America. By the end of this year, they will have completed more than 50 concert dates in 2015.

Application #: KMC-FACILITIES- IVMP-2015

Applicant: Kinder Morgan Canada (KMC), 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby BC V5A 4S9. Cheryl Thesen (403-358-2509). In accordance with the British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pest Management Act and Regulations, KMC is required to develop a Pest Management Plan (PMP) (for KMC the PMP is referred to as the Integrated Vegetation Management Plan (IVMP)). The PMP manages problem vegetation, including control of noxious weeds and invasive plants within KMC facilities. Facilities include pump stations, valve stations, terminals, tank farms and office/maintenance facilities. All facilities are fenced, secure compounds not accessible to the general public. The facilities are located in proximity to the following communities in British Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Darfield, McLure, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Burnaby 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. The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, selective slashing, girdling, geotextile fabric, 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. KMC conducts all work, including pest management, in strict adherence with all applicable laws and regulations. The common names and an example of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminocyclopyrachlor (Navius VM), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Lontrel 360), dicamba (Vanquish), diflufenzopyr (Overdrive), diuron (Diurex 80 WDG), flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), imazapyr (Arsenal), indaziflam (Esplanade SC), MCPA (MCPA Amine 500), mecoprop-P (Mecoprop-P), metsulfuron methyl (Escort), picloram (Tordon 22K), triclopyr (Garlon XRT), 2,4-D (2,4-D Amine 600), Hasten (adjuvant) and siloxylated polyether (adjuvant). Application methods include: backpack, power hose and nozzle, wick/wipe-on applicator, squirt bottle and boom sprayer. A draft copy of the proposed IVMP (PMP) and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail online at: http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/docs/kmc_facilities_ivmp.pdf or by contacting the Applicant listed above.

Whatcom Wine & Spirits Private Liquor Store is a unique, specialty destination! CONSUMER ADVICE

Q Looking for a wee bit of wisdom to pair food with wine?

Food and wine pairing can fill people with apprehension, but dont worry about getting it perfect. It feels so much better to relax, experiment, and have some fun. If I could impart one wee bit of “Wine Wisdom” when it comes to pairing food and wine it would be this: try to match the intensity of the food to the intensity of the wine. For example, a light and citrusy Italian Pinot Grigio would be overpowered beside a plate of well-seasoned prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, and rich gravy, just like a monstrous Old Vine Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon would completely wallop a delicate prawn and scallop appetizer in phyllo pastry. The perfect food pairing is when each element works in harmony with the other.

MORE INFO ABOUT WHATCOM LIQUOR STORE The first thing that customers notice is our extensive selection. Not only do we have the largest array of local bottles from British Columbia’s wineries, we also feature a Cellar Selection area where award-winning and hard-to-find vintages wait to be discovered!

In addition to all of the most popular beer brands, we also take pride in our extensive choice of craft and import beer. Being able to source directly from local microbreweries across the province ensures we have the freshest beer on the shelves. Beer-lovers are sure to find many a bottle to pique their curiosity. The beer, ciders, and coolers we sell are chilled and ready to be enjoyed! Our friendly staff members

are always willing to assist our customers in choosing just the right products. The owners have recently launch Ravens Brewing Company, a micro brewery producing English and West Coast style ales in Abbotsford.

It’s all about confidence! We bring your inner beauty, out. CONSUMER ADVICE

Q How does non-surgical body contouring work?

The system we use, CoolSculpting, is the only FDA-cleared procedure to use controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate diet and exercise resistant fat for proven, noticeable and lasting results. Unlike other fat reduction procedures such as liposuction, CoolSculpting involves no anesthetic, needles, surgery or downtime. The cooling only kills fat cells underneath the skin in the targeted area while leaving healthy skin cells untouched. Once crystallized, the fat cells die and are naturally eliminated from your body.

MORE INFO ABOUT OUR CLNIC At MD Cosmetic & Laser Clinic we know there are lots of choices out there for your beauty and confidence care, so we’re always happy to share what sets us apart. Far and away the difference lies in our expertise, starting with our Medical Director, Dr. Haneef Alibhai. We are extremely proud to deliver his world-renowned

wealth of experience and expertise for our clients’ benefit through all of our products, services, and talented clinicians. In fact, Dr. Alibhai is such a leader in aesthetic medicine that he has been training physicians across the world on various applications in the field since 2002. During this time he has trained over 1,500 doctors and dentists.

In addition, our spa-like setting will immediately put you at ease. We know that just because there are many valid medical reasons for using our services, it doesn’t have to feel like a medical clinic setting. We are here to help you feel relaxed and confident in the way you look and feel — that starts the moment you walk through our doors.

Cascadia Chiropractic treats plantar fasciitis with Shockwave Therapy CONSUMER ADVICE

Q What you should know

about plantar fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, resulting from inflammation and damage to the tough fibrous tissue which forms the arch of the foot. Patients may describe the sensation as a sharp or deep ache in the middle of the heel or along the arch that typically occurs during walking or standing. Often, pain occurs early in the morning when patients are taking their first few steps out of bed. As the foot naturally tightens at night, the fascia may gain new tears in the morning, initiating a painful cycle.

WHAT CAUSES PLANTAR FASCIITIS? Improper footwear, strenuous activity, and obesity can bring on plantar fasciitis. Flat feet, high arches and poor shock absorption in shoes can also put excessive stress on the foot’s soft tissues. Plantar fasciitis is commonly seen in middleaged patients.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS Shock wave therapy (SWT) has emerged as a possible treatment option for patients with chronic plantar fasciitis. SWT delivers focused shock waves to the body. Shockwave Ttherapy is thought to work by inducing microtrauma to the tissue that is affected by plantar fasciitis. This

ates a microtrauma initiates healing response by the g response body. This healing el causes blood vessel creased formation and increased nts to delivery of nutrients the affected area.. The hought to microtrauma is thought stimulate a repairr process ymptoms and relieve the symptoms s. of plantar fasciitis.

MORE ABOUT ASHLEY’S

The best way to shop for any furniture is to start local and go from there. “Given you can find the selection and price range within your means, local makes the most sense,” says Aaron Miller of Abbotsford. “I am second generation, as my dad owned a store in Clearbrook back in the 80s. As things changed, our family joined Ashley Furniture and opened stores in Coquitlam, Langley and now here in Abbotsford.

“Ashley’s provides many attributes to families, couples or anybody looking to get the best of selection, value, quality and reputation. Our brand is in over 120 countries and we have been in business for over seventy years,” Aaron said. “We are extremely excited to be back home in Abbotsford where I have lived my entire life. This new store has it all

and we can easily keep up with the growing trends, newest fashions, materials and customer service, all tied into the power of our Ashley brand! We are not just furniture, we carry accessories, mattresses and décor. “We recognize the community in Abbotsford is primarily young and extremely family based. The value of offerings and selection we have in this store at any time of the year is second to none.

“There really is no need to shop outside of the community to find what you are looking for. In the event we do not have the exact merchandise in stock, our catalogue and inventory available to us is at our fingertips with our Ashley affiliation. “We offer shoppers low cost payment plans with free financing so you can enjoy your furniture in your home without hitting the freeway! And our delivery service is popular too.”

MSA Ford has access to 15 national brand tires CONSUMER ADVICE

Q What regulations have changed in BC for winter driving?

ICBC says... Driving without winter tires will not void your insurance if you have a claim. It also won’t mean you’re automatically at fault in a crash. However, if you get in a crash where winter tires could have helped, not having them may affect whether – or how much – you are at fault.

MORE ABOUT WINTER DRIVING IN BC Winter tires are required in BC on many rural highways and high mountain passes in the Interior, North and Vancouver Island. BC is one of only three provinces in Canada that define a winter tire and specify where their use is required. “If you are worried or have questions about this coming winter, talk or visit us! At MSA Ford, we have the expertise and experience to keep you on the

How to select the right tires for your vehicle Both the mountain snowflake and M+S tires meet the minumum requirement for winter tires in BC. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the RCMP recommend that regular travellers on BC’s highways equip their cars and light trucks with the mountain snowflake tire, which is the best tire available for winter conditions. M+S tires are a viable option for motorists who live in areas without frequent winter weather and who plan their trips to coincide with periods of better weather. All drivers should be prepared to drive with added care and caution when winter conditions are encountered.

Every driver needs to be able to react quickly whether they put themselves in a sketchy situation or avoiding the misadventures of another vehicle approaching your path!

The 7 degree celcius threshold will change the dynamics of your all season tires and will alter the ‘ stickiness ‘ of your tread when in contact with snow and ice.

A lifetime of bright smiles starts young CONSUMER ADVICE

Q What’s the best age for your children’s first dental visit?

The optimum time to begin visiting your family dentist is when your child’s first teeth erupt and experts agree you should not wait later than the child’s first birthday. Though it may seem that this is a very young age, it’s important to start off right and you want your child to be familiar with both dental hygiene and with all the dental professionals who will assist them in taking care of their oral health for life.

MORE INFO ABOUT YOUR CHILD’S DENTAL CARE During your child’s first appointment, your dentist will give you all the instructions you’ll require to ensure your child’s optimum oral health and offer advice about dental hygiene care and diet. Comprehensive dental examinations can really only be performed when your child is able to cooperate with the dentist.

We suggest beginning your dental hygiene by wiping the teeth with a damp rag after meals to help them to get used to having their teeth cleaned.

It’s crucial to remember that your child should never swallow or eat the toothpaste! Start with a dab of fluoridated toothpaste the size of a pea.

As they become used to this and begin getting teeth, you can then move on to brushing and flossing. Your dental hygienist will demonstrate the best ways to do this during your first visits. Starting with a toothbrush and toothpaste early is a crucial step to ensure your child learns good oral hygiene habits.

At Clayburn Dental, we enjoy kids and we know that they like to have fun. That’s why we offer a Kids Familiarization Tour which gives your children an opportunity to visit with the dental professionals and to enjoy a ‘chair ride’, look in the dental mirror and, have fun with the water squirter in an informal and relaxed manner.

Children Love Us.

Every great journey begins with a step; let that step be in comfort CONSUMER ADVICE

Q How does Payton & Buckle give better service than chain stores?

”At Payton & Buckle we continually maintain our classic service: we sit and fit,” a process that owner John Laanstra says is becoming increasingly rare. Great service is essential for John, who says that he’s always been a peopleperson. “I want to go to work to be up front, that’s who I am. I thoroughly enjoy it.”

“I remember getting called on a Friday, and started work on the following Monday,” John Laanstra recalls. He started working full-time at Chilliwack’s Payton & Buckle shoe store in 1981, and became the store owner in 2007.

opportunity to expand. He opened the store in Abbotsford in 2009 and Pitt Meadows in 2013.

“It was really foreign,” he says of his first day in retail. “I grew up as a farmer, and was in construction just prior.”

The store may be small, but it’s packed with a plethora of fine footwear for men and women of all ages. Just catch a glimpse of the enormous inventory in the back and know that you won’t walk away

empty handed. Compared to a chain shoe store, John reveals that he has more freedom and insight when selecting inventory. “For us, the people who are choosing [the shoes] are actually the ones who work on the floor.” They’ve heard first-hand every day what people are asking for, which isn’t always the case for head office leadership teams in a chain. Payton & Buckle carries

a mix of unique and common shoe brands. Our core inventory is the shoes that people will get the most use out of, rather than the pair that might look great on a shelf, but will only be worn once. They have great longevity as well, many are European leather. As fall has fallen upon us, you’ll see more boots than shoes in Payton & Buckle. “It used to be that everyone just wanted a black boot,” John explains.

Although black remains a staple, consumers have widely accepted and embraced the boot in many other colours as well. After decades of experience, Laanstra has mastered the ability to quickly pick up on who prioritizes style, who prioritizes comfort, and the many who are looking for something in between. It helps having a customer base that you’re already familiar with, too.

CONSUMER ADVICE

Q Are you receiving the best value and fully understand your insurance coverage? If insurance was a commodity like apples or oranges then the comparison shopping would be fairly easy to do. There are not too many differences and the perceived value to the consumer is readily apparent. However, insurance products are as varied as the individual needs of the customer. There is no simple solution for a one- size- fits- all

approach. While costs of insurance or the premium paid for a policy is an important consideration, the underlying reason for insurance is to protect you from a potentially catastrophic financial loss. There is no benefit in paying for a policy that only partially responds to a loss or worse, not at all. Insuring your home, boat, vehicle or business venture all have their own underwriting

requirements. This supports the earlier point that insurance is not a commodity and there are many differences between certain types of insurance products and the people who need the insurance coverage. Don’t be fooled with claims of great coverage at great prices. Basic underwriting information gets the quoting process started and this can be done on our website. This is often

a great starting point for the conversation to begin. Many times, an insurance solution can be agreed upon easily, depending on how risk averse the customer may be. Or put another way, how much of the loss they are willing to accept personally. By purchasing an insurance policy, you are transferring the loss exposure from yourself to the insurance company. The premium charged for the policy is partly

based on this transfer of responsibility. Another consideration is balancing the likelihood of a claim happening versus the severity of the loss. In consultation with our clients, we offer choices of coverages, tailored to their individual needs. If you are unsure of what your present insurance covers, please contact your broker. We cannot interpret others’ policies. If you would like to

review your current situation with us, we would be happy meet with you and offer you suggestions and hopefully a policy that you’ll be comfortable with. As a broker, we can offer you choice of products and insurers. Since 1994, we have been helping people make choices and find solutions for their insurance needs.

Seek diversification, not market timing CONSUMER ADVICE

Q How does diversification impact long-term investments?

A key determinant in your long-term investment performance will likely be a result of the asset mix decision. Some will tell you (e.g. brokers, financial press, business show commentators) that success can come from timing - when to get in and out of the market, picking the right stock at the right time, and/or picking the next hot manager. While that all sounds great, we are afraid it just isn’t so. In fact, it has been shown that these behaviors in many instances will actually reduce your overall rate of return.

THE ASSET ALLOCATION DECISION The first step in setting up your investment strategy is to make the asset allocation decision that is right for you. This means deciding how much of your money will go into cash, bonds, stocks, and sometimes real estate. Sadly, many individuals and advisors spend little time formulating the right strategy. As a result, they end up with a collection of holdings that is neither efficient from a tax perspective, nor properly matched to manage risk. It’s akin to building a new house

without having architectural drawings done first. It might work out, but then again you might get something completely different than what you expected. Your individual asset allocation needs to be customized to your situation, and should consider factors such as your age, time horizon, tolerance for risk, and specific short-term cash needs. When properly done, it will create a balance between the amount of risk you are willing to take and the level of return you want to achieve.

CONSISTENCY COUNTS A key benefit of diversification

is that it can reduce your overall volatility. This in turn can result in your portfolio value being higher at the end of the day. Your portfolio value at any future date will simply be a function of the compound return. So when the choice is between a portfolio that is making 15% one year and losing 25% in another versus the portfolio that is more consistent (or less volatile) - you will want to go for the latter. Consistent annual returns can result in a higher compound return. Here’s another way of thinking about this: if a portfolio goes down 50%, it has to make 100% to get back to even.

Whereas, if a portfolio declines 7% it would only need to make 7.6% to recover the loss. One of the most important things that we do for all of our clients is creating a customized asset allocation strategy that is consistent with their specific objectives. Then, over time, we continue to monitor the strategy and make adjustments as needed. And when we think about why our clients have a positive investment experience – diversification “really” is the key. --- Assante Wealth Management is one of Canada’s largest wealth management firms, overseeing approximately $34 billion in assets for over 300,000 clients and their families nationwide.

Your golf bag doesn’t look like this, so why should your portfolio? Diversification is the sane alternative to betting big on one investment. Everyone likes a winner, but not at the cost of your future retirement, financial goals, or long-term legacy. Our approach is simple. We define a conservative path for our clients to achieve financial independence, simplifying their lives through the delivery of a complete wealth planning process.

my new dentures inserted on the same day as my extractions?

You do not require a referral to see us for a consultation, and if for any reason we have concerns with your natural teeth and/or gums, we will refer you to a specialist.

Yes, it is possible to have your teeth removed and dentures put in the same day. The dentures are called immediate dentures and you should talk to your dentist or denturist to see if that treatment is the best for you.

MORE INFO ABOUT DENTURES

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

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.

Your fears are not uncommon and many of the patients we see who need dentures express the same concerns.

Government grants for accessible bathrooms CONSUMER ADVICE

Q Do I need a more

www.pro-pack.ca

accessible bathroom?

Most bathrooms are not very accessible for seniors and often force them to move from their homes sooner than they would wish. Grants from the Government can cover the renovation of a tub to a walk-in shower, the replacement of a low seat toilet to that of a comfort height toilet and the changing of a standard height vanity to one that is taller. All of these things will make bathrooms easier to use and allow seniors to stay independent for longer. Please call us at the office if you have any questions.

Pro-Pack Contracting & Design Inc. has been renovating homes since 2009. We love to focus on the bathrooms of homes because this is a retreat for a lot of people. But as the population grows older, some of the everyday necessities in bathrooms are difficult for seniors to use. It’s dangerous to step up into a tub. The toilet seat is too low and difficult to stand up from. All of the things that

make a bathroom difficult to use for seniors or people with disabilities can be easily changed to allow for a more efficient and accessible room. And accessible does not need to mean ugly. All of these bathrooms can be beautiful too. Come by for a chat in our showroom and see what we can do for you or your loved one. Let us help you to love where you live.
