School district looks at curbing bus service More than half of riders would be ineligible for service under proposal Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

Proposals that could see significant cuts to school bus service and force hundreds of students to find new ways to get to class are being considered by Abbotsford school district trustees. As it faces another budget shortfall, the district is looking at cutting its transportation spending, which ran to $3 million last year. A study commissioned by the district suggests three-quarters of the 2,722 regular riders of the system either live within walk limits set by the district, or attend schools of choice, to which they are not entitled to transportation. The district has nevertheless been providing transportation for those students who, like other riders, pay $300 each, or $500 per family. To qualify for bus service, kindergarten-to-Grade 5 students must live farther than four kilometres from their catchment school, while middle and secondary students must live more than 4.8 kilometres from school. It had been hoped that by providing rides to students within those limits but along existing bus routes, empty seats would be filled while the district garnered more revenue. But district secretary-treasurer

The Abbotsford school district is considering cuts to its bus services. Ray Velestuk said that even with 863 such students riding the bus to their local catchment school, the revenue gain hasn’t been sufficient to make up for transportation spending’s drain on the district’s resources. “We just haven’t seen that direct relationship” between increased access to bus services and significantly higher revenue, Velestuk said. Similarly, providing transpor-

tation to the 1,224 students who take a bus to a school of choice has also increased expenses. The study calculated that the district spends $937 per rider each year to provide bus service to students. Velestuk said trustees will make the final decision on changes to busing. They will be presented with options to decrease services. One proposal on the books would eliminate service for stu-

dents attending schools of choice, or residing beyond the four- or 4.8-kilometre limit. If such a policy were in place this year, 2,087 bus riders – or three of every four bus riders – would be ineligible. Only 888 riders would remain. Such a move would save the district more than $1 million. Velestuk cautioned that such a move would likely be phased in. The district is proposing some

reductions in services for next fall, and the proposed budget envisions $200,000 in savings – although that figure is a conservative estimate, Velestuk said. The study suggests a move to enforce walk limits and curtail service to schools of choice, which would affect some schools much more than others. Three-quarters of the district’s bus riders, or 2,052 students, attend middle and secondary schools. Of those, the majority attend schools of choice. Abbotsford Middle Traditional, Abbotsford Traditional, ASIA Sumas Campus, W.J. Mouat secondary, Chief Dan George middle and King Traditional elementary all have more than 130 out-of-catchment students who take the bus. Abbotsford Middle Traditional has the most, with 227 out-of-catchment riders. Several elementary schools also have a majority of bus-riding students living closer than the four-kilometre walk limit. They include Mount Lehman, where 64 of 73 riders live within the limit, and Aberdeen elementary, where 55 of 63 students live within four kilometres. W.A. Fraser middle, Abbotsford middle, and Clayburn middle each have more than 40 bus-riding students within the limit.

Police surrounded a house in a residential neighbourhood on Seal Way just south of Peardonville Road in the Clearbrook area Thursday morning around 10:30 a.m. At least six police units and as many officers arrived on the scene responding to a report of a weapon. Four people were taken into custody and later released. A source said two small children were also removed from the home, which was expected to be held by police for the rest of the day. One resident of the area said police were conducting surveillance of the cul-de-sac where the home is located a week ago. “We were in our backyard when they came by and told us not to be worried if we saw them,” Albert Kroeker told The News. Another resident, who asked not to be identified, said the people in the house were “not good neighbours” but the home has not been raided previously, as far as they knew. A social media post suggested police raided a rental suite within the home.

The tipping fee of $85 per tonne will apply to the drop off of loads of recyclable materials exceeding 10 blue bags.

Games torch ablaze in Abbotsford Torchlighting ceremony marks 100-day countdown Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News

A trio of local athletes made the final steps in the BC Summer Games path to Abbotsford on Wednesday night. Bateman basketball champion Jayden Gill, Abbotsford Senior rugby star Tausani Levale, and Special Olympian Todd Moore carried the torch into Thunderbird Plaza, and moments later the 100-day countdown was officially on as the Games torch was lit up in front of hundreds. The moment capped off a night of performances, speeches and excitement for the Games, which run from July 21 to 24 in various locations across A Abbotsford. Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun said inside O E VID INE the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, “We ONLws.com will be bringing almost 3,000 of the best abbyne e emerging high performance athletes in the province to our city. These Games are an investment in our community, and will showcase our city.” Games president Steve Carlton spoke of the ‘rise above, reach beyond’ theme of the Abbotsford BC Summer Games. Gordon Hogg, the parliamentary secretary for youth support to the minister of community, sport and cultural development, said the Games are about uniting communities. “As we count down the days, symbolically now this is where the light and the spirit of togetherness will be,” he said. “Sport unites us and this is where that spirit will be when we have the Games in Abbotsford.” Earlier, Chief Dalton Silver from the Sumas First Nation welcomed the Games to his people’s traditional lands, and there were performances from White Thunder Dance Theatre, Elementz Dance Crew and Skipping Sensations. Carlton said volunteers are still being accepted, and those interested can register online at bcgames.org/ Games/BCSummerGames/Volunteers.aspx.

APD dispatchers help save woman in New York Goes into medical distress while chatting online Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A woman in New York State has dispatchers with the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) to thank for saving her life on Sunday. Const. Ian MacDonald said the incident began at about 8:45 a.m., when the APD communications centre, which handles both emergency and non-emergency reports from the public, received a call from a woman concerned about an acquaintance in an online chat room. The 59-year-old caller said she was concerned about her friend, also 59, because she had been typing incoherently

and not in her usual manner. The caller knew the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nancy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but did not know where she lived. She did, however, have a cellphone number connected to the chat room account. Dispatchers called the number, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a response. MacDonald said a dispatcher stayed on the line with the Abbotsford caller, while another worked on tracking down the cellphone provider in order to obtain information about Nancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible residence. The address for the phone subscriber came back to an area of New York State, and a third staff member then began

contacting nearby police agencies to determine which one covered that area. A call was first made to the Rochester Police Department, who said the address was under the jurisdiction of the Canandaigua Police Department. That agency then referred the APD dispatcher to the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Next, Nancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cellphone was â&#x20AC;&#x153;pingedâ&#x20AC;? to find the closest cell tower to where she was located, in the event that she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t at home. The information came back to a hotel in the area. Police and ambulance went to the hotel and, after confirming Nancy was a guest there,

found her unconscious on the floor, but still breathing. She was taken to hospital, where she is recovering. MacDonald said the APD has not been told the exact circumstances of Nancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition, although it appears she might have suffered a stroke. But he said she might not be alive without the efforts of everyone involved â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from the caller to the dispatchers to the emergency responders in New York. He is particularly proud of the work of the crew in the APD communications centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe Nancy is alive because of the diligence and determination of the staff.â&#x20AC;?

Making treaties in under 600 years Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views B.C.’s fifth modern treaty took effect April 5, formalizing self-government for the Tla’amin Nation on B.C.’s Sunshine Coast. The settlement includes Crown and reserve land in the Powell River area, in a traditional territory that includes Lasqueti, Texada and Cortes Islands as well as Comox on Vancouver Island. It transfers 6,405 hectares of former provincial Crown land, including forest and mineral rights, plus a $33.9 million capital transfer and a $7.9 million economic development fund. Since the agreement was signed two years ago, the Tla’amin have endorsed a constitution that Chief Clint Williams said ensures transparent and accountable government. “I think it gives us a little more leverage in speaking with B.C. and Canada, as we will own the land that we’re trying to con-

duct business on,” Williams said. Tla’amin elder Elsie Paul had a more personal take on the long-awaited treaty. “We can’t be stuck where we’ve been stuck forever, where we’re on reserve land, just for us,” she said. “It feels like you’re trapped there. And hopefully, those gates have opened, to also welcome people to come to our community. “Because in the past, in my growing-up years, we never had friends, people from Powell River or anywhere else. We were not allowed to have visitors, and we were not allowed to mingle in town with white people.” Communities can also look to the example of the Tsawwassen First Nation, which has attracted $1 billion in new investment since its treaty was implemented in 2009. Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad said the Tla’amin treaty shows the B.C. Treaty Commission is still working, despite having gone without a chief commissioner since the province refused to

appoint one a year ago. Rustad said that was a signal from the B.C. government that it can’t carry on at the current pace, which has seen one treaty on average every three years. “And so if you do the extrapolation, we have 203 bands, that’s over 600 years of negotiations,” Rustad told me. “And even if we could find a way to accelerate that to the point where we’re celebrating a new treaty every year, that is still 200 years of negotiations. “And that is why we didn’t go forward with a chief commissioner. We have to find a way to be able to do something more effectively.” It gets worse. The Lheidli T’enneh First Nation near Prince George completed a treaty after years of work, only to see it rejected by a community vote in 2007. After nearly a decade, a second vote is scheduled for this fall. And the Yale First Nation was to implement its treaty this month, but the new council for the 160-member village in the

... a signal from the B.C. government that it can’t carry on at the current pace...

Fraser Canyon confirmed to Rustad last week that they want out. The Yale agreement has been controversial from the start, with the larger Sto:lo Nation viewing the community as a splinter group controlling fishing sites contested for thousands of years. But the new Yale council is more sympathetic to the Sto:lo, so the latest setback could turn into a positive. There have been previous efforts to deal with aboriginal rights and title on a broader scale. The latest one foundered after aboriginal leaders rejected a province-wide proposal offered by former premier Gordon Campbell. Similar to the Sto:lo, the Tla’amin have a history of territorial overlap with the Klahoose, Sechelt and others. Paul said there is a tradition of working together in her home region. We’re building relationships with our neighbours, as well as building relationships with our neighbouring First Nations communities,” she said.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t test theory on taxpayers Re: April 8 News story, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Business taxes down, homes up.â&#x20AC;? Without rehashing all the details, the plan is to lower business taxes in order to attract more business, but to raise residential taxes to support this plan. What is unstated is if this plan works will the district then lower residential taxes (probably not)? Alternatively, if the belief here is lower business taxes and they will come (as in more business), then why not put your money where your mouth is, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise residential taxes to support it, and if they come, then

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re golden and the new business will fill the void and more. If you really want to test the theory, then lower business taxes as low as the economy can bear. Give it a reasonable time frame (say two years), and if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work then thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water under the bridge and raise business taxes back to sustainable levels. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t test your theory on the backs of your residential population, which is already suffering in a housing affordability crunch marketplace.

Enrolment hike expected for new school year

ABBOTSFORD’S NEWEST FAMILY THRIFT CENTRE!

District considering cuts to deal with deficit Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford school district is planning for another significant enrolment jump next year as it prepares its next budget. The district is planning for 174 more students next year, a jump that would bring total enrolment to 19,128. Last year, the district saw an unexpected enrolment increase of 190 students, defying a projected decrease. Enrolment across the province had been dropping in recent years before an unexpected jump last fall. A shortage of housing, and population data, suggest more peo-

ple are moving to the Abbotsford area both from Metro Vancouver and from Alberta, as that province experiences a drop in its economic fortunes. The preliminary budget presented to school board trustees Tuesday suggests the district is facing a projected deficit of $4 million if it declines to make cuts. The budget proposes the district slash the amount it spends on supplies ($1 million), pro-D spending ($280,000), and substitute employees ($600,000). Spending in those areas would remain above the provincial average even with the proposed cuts.

Music academy receives Community Matters Award multiple nominations, along with testimonials from several students. The academy is a non-profit after-school music program for children in Abbotsford, offered at no charge

because the people behind the academy want to promote positive social change through the power of music. Bakerview Music Academy serves more than 60 students from

eight schools in the district. Students attend Tuesdays and Thursdays for lessons from professional music teachers in violin, cello, piano, choir

and percussion. The program runs entirely on donations. In one of the nominations, Lisa Lainchbury, principal of Dormick Park Elementary, had high praise for the academy. “They are providing (our) families with an option to extend their learning day, and participate in an enriching musical experience,” she said. “This experience (at Bakerview) is instilling a love of learning in the students, and a desire to attend and continue to learn after

school.” Board of education chair Rhonda Pauls said the instructors, board and volunteers at the academy “have gone over and above to create an environment for children to learn – and learn to love – creating music.” “It enhances learning, and contributes to a positive experience for students in the district,” she said. Twelve nominations were received for the 2016 Community Matters Award. The board of educa-

tion established the annual award last year to recognize community partners who have made a significant contribution to the lives of students in the Abbotsford school district. The inaugural Community Matters Awards went to The Abbotsford Rotary Club, Abbotsford Food Bank and the Kiwanis Clubs of Abbotsford and Clearbrook in spring of 2015.

Need Dentures? FREE EXAM

Cleaning & polish with every consultation!

Victoria singer-songwriter James Kasper performs his first show in the Fraser Valley on Friday, April 29 after 20 years of recording and performing across Canada. The show takes place at Legal Grounds Coffeehouse (33775 Essendene Ave.), starting at 7:30 p.m. Kasper’s music is described as “alt country and folk noir.” Over the years, Kasper has shared the stage with many notable artists, including two members of Canadian Music Hall of Fame act Blue Rodeo, Grammy nominee Maria Muldaur, Juno winners Carole Pope and David Gogo, and an opening spot for the legendary Ray Charles in 1998. In 2008, Kasper was named Hardest Working Person in Local Music by Victoria’s Monday Magazine. Other awards include first-place honours for music videos The Old Fashioned Way and The Gospel. Kasper is currently working in Abbotsford, halfway through a one-year contract with 101.7 CIVL Radio, putting together the first Fraser Valley Music Awards. He also produced the Vancouver Island Music Awards from 2002 to 2014. Tickets for the show are $7 and are available at the door on the 29th. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Opening act Jordan Toohey will perform at 7:30 p.m., followed by Kasper at 8 p.m. A film crew will be on site to capture the show.

Coffee Morning raises Matthew’s House funds C o m m u n i t a s Supportive Care Society invites the public to share a cup of Starbucks coffee and make a difference to families in need. The annual Coffee Morning fundraiser for Matthew’s House takes place Wednesday, April 20 at 10 a.m. in the parking lot of Communitas, 2776 Bourquin Crescent West. Music will be provided by Noel Schneider, also known as DJ Book it. Matthew’s House, a respite home for families whose children live with complex care needs, is operated by Communitas. It costs almost a million dollars annually to keep the home operating, most of which comes from donations and fundraisers. Now in its third year, Coffee Morning has

raised thousands of dollars, and participation has also increased with school groups, businesses and individuals already signed up to host their own Coffee Mornings this year. Alan Cavin, the resource development coordinator for Matthew’s House, is encouraged by the community support. “We hope to raise $20,000 this year and I believe we can achieve that,” he said.

Local cadet completes glider pilot training An Abbotsford air cadet was recently among those taking part in glider pilot training at Regional Cadet Air Operations in Comox. Flight Sgt. Natasha Cummings, 17, has been a cadet since 2011 and joined for the aviation part of the program. The main focus of the glider training, held March 18 to 27, is for cadets to upgrade their solo glider pilot licence to the Front Seat Familiarization (FAM) rating, which allows them to take a passenger during flights. The cadets participate in annual proficiency checks and solo flights to build up to the required 10 hours. The cadets continue to the next step, which ultimately leads them to be flight instructors. After achieving her FAM pilot rating, Cummings plans on taking other cadets up in the glider with her.

MAIN EVENT

Fraser Valley Food Truck Festival rolls into town April 23 It’s the epitome of fun in the Fraser Valley fun: fresh air, good food, and laid back vibes. As the weather warms up, the Fraser Valley Food Truck Association (FVFTA) is gearing up for more events, with 26 food trucks and eight locations across the Fraser Valley. The Fraser Valley Food Truck Festival will roll into Abbotsford Exhibition Park for its third year on April 23. With more food and no admission fee, attendees are guaranteed to walk away with full stomachs and great memories. Spend the afternoon jumping from one “restaurant on wheels” to the next, sampling everything from pulled pork to

poutine and perogies. Some of the most popular trucks are also returning this year, including Dougie Dog Hot Dogs, Reel Mac & Cheese, and Mollies Mini Donuts. “Communities in the Fraser Valley love their food and how this event is a great way to spend time with the family,” says festival organizer Laine Ogilvie. “If you are a foodie, it is a great way to taste all the different food from food trucks in one location.” If you’re a food truck festival first-timer, Ogilvie suggests arriving early, especially if your mission is to try as many different trucks as possible. The best way to avoid line-ups is by arriving when the event

the perfect way to spend the day outside listening to live music, shopping the artisans’ market, and enjoying bites from some of the best trucks in Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

“Although lines seem long, most trucks move quickly,” assures Ogilvie. “Lemonade also goes super fast, so you can always grab a refreshment [if you arrive early].”

The hardest question is: what to have for lunch?

Once again, there will be plenty of familyfun entertainment, such as face painters and balloon twisters, to keep everyone happy and occupied. Whether you are a food truck veteran or a newfound foodie, The Fraser Valley Food Truck Festival is

The Fraser Valley Food Truck Festival will be at the Abbotsford Exhibition Park on Saturday, April 23 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Entrance to the festival is free. There are ATMs on site but bringing cash is recommended. For info, visit fraservalleyfoodtruck.com

Spring is in the air, and that means colour and pattern are front and centre in the fashion scene. Shades of turquoise, navy and white are not only fresh and crisp, but they can be played up or down depending on your mood or occasion. White is no longer a summer-only choice, and is now popping up year-round in pieces from tailored trousers to sleek blazers that are appropriate for the office and beyond. At this time of year, crop pants are a popular choice and can be paired with everything from strappy pumps to cute flats. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget about pattern. Florals, polka dots and geometrics are all dominant, providing a fun and spirited boost to the season.

Create a budget-friendly home landscape Homeowners understandably envy the award-worthy photo spreads in lawn and garden magazines, wanting to emulate those same looks on their own properties. Although not every homeowner has the budget to create lavish landscape designs, it’s still possible for homeowners to create lawns they can be proud of.

ESTABLISH YOUR BUDGET

CONSIDER THE SPACE AND HOW YOU WANT TO USE IT

BUY NATIVE PLANTS

Understanding the space will help you better allocate your budget. If your yard is more of a retreat, look for ways to create privacy and a vacation feel. If you have kids and entertaining friends is a main priority, focus on recreational aspects, such as a playset and durable plants.

Native plants, trees, and flowers will fare better than non-native, exotic plants. That means you’ll have to spend less time and money nurturing them into health.

ASK FOR CLIPPINGS Don’t be shy about admiring the plantings of those you know. Flatter their good taste and ask if you can have some clippings to propagate yourself. With some frugal spending, planning and budgeting, anyone can create a beautiful landscape.

Hard Cider Pot Roast

DISH

INGREDIENTS:

DIRECTIONS:

3 - 3 1/2 lb

Lepp’s boneless beef chuck roast

To taste

Salt & freshly ground black pepper

Allow roast to come to room temperature for about an hour before starting to cook. Sprinkle roast generously all over with salt and pepper and preheat oven to 350°F.

Medium-sized whole mushrooms, halved

2 large

Onions, chopped

4 large

Carrots, peeled & cut into 1’’ to 2’’ pieces

Coat the bottom of a 5 - 7-quart French oven with a thin film of oil and set the pot over medium-high heat, make sure your exhaust fan is on! When the oil is shimmering, put meat in the pot and let it cook, without moving it, until it is deeply browned on the bottom and lifts easily from the pot when turned, about 8-10 minutes and continue to brown all sides of the meat, turning as needed.Transfer meat to a plate and set aside.

Hard cider (approx. 475 mls), from liquor store

2 cups

Lepp’s beef broth

Bay leaf

Garnish

With chives or parsley, if desired.

ON THE NOSE: Slightly sweet vanilla oak aroma. Enjoy the plum, cassis and blackberry ﬂavours with a velvety tannin. Full body red. Perfect with pot roast and root veggies. Overall this wine is smooth and great for dinner also evening patio. BUY IT: Sumas Mountain Liquor Store

Add mushrooms, onions, and carrots to the pot and cook, stirring, until softened, about about 5-7 minutes. Pour in hard cider and beef broth. Stir to release browned bits on the pan bottom. Add bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Let mixture come to a boil, then return meat and any accumulated juices to pot.

Small handful Fresh thyme sprigs, woody stems removed before serving 1 bottle

THE SECRET

GRAPE/BLEND: Syrah/Malbec/Viognier

This Hard Cider Pot Roast with Mushrooms, Carrots, and Onions is so incredibly tender, that after braising away in the oven for a few hours all you need to do to serve it is simply break up the roast with the back of a wooden spoon. No cutting required. The silky textured meat just falls apart, all loose and juicy and tender. The combination of the cider slow cooked with the beef and earthy mushrooms plus carrots and onions creates a most spectacular gravy, perfect served over hot buttered egg noodles or creamy mashed potatoes. Adapted from A Farmgirl’s Dabbles.

The Farmer and the Foodie “The dinner was delicious! The juices and meat were perfect...how do you get it so nice and browned and so tender? What does braising mean and does the roaster make a big difference?” Comments I received after I delivered this roast in my Staub cast iron pot to my couch-confined friend. Since I promised her a reply, I’ll let you listen in on the answer! Braising is simply the combination of a low oven temperature and a small amount of liquid, creating a moist heat that turns the chewy sinew and muscle in less expensive cuts into richly flavoured broth and silky-textured, tender meat. The pot definitely makes a difference, and my beautiful new cherry red Staub that recently replaced the knock off one I used for years is now

one of my prized kitchen items. Buying a Staub is certainly an investment, but as the only cast iron enamelled pots still manufactured exclusively in France, as even my beloved Le Creuset is slowly moving its production facility to China, I took the plunge. However, any brand of enamelled cast iron pot works well for braising, as long as they are stove top and oven safe. Being a largely hands off cooking technique once the searing is completed, braising is perfect for a weekend dinner. And if you can resist the enticing aromas and let the braise rest in the night, the fridge overnight, ven dish is even more richlyy TH flavoured A NN the next CELEIVERSAR day. Y BR

Why Can’t We Talk About Vaginal Health? DR. SHAUN TREGONING ABBY MEDICAL LASER CENTRE

Preventing lower back pain Medical research validates chiropractic maintenance care for low back pain DR SIMPSON LEUNG CASCADIA CHIROPRACTIC CENTRE

For generations, Doctors of Chiropractic have been advocating the benefits of preventative maintenance care to their patients who suffer from chronic or recurrent lower back pain. Two recent research studies generated by the medical profession add evidence in support of the value of chiropractic maintenance care. The first study published in the prestigious medical journal SPINE concluded

that “spinal manipulation therapy is effective for the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain.” To obtain long-term benefit, this study suggests maintenance spinal manipulations after the initial intensive manipulative therapy. The study revealed that the patients who received spinal manipulation every two weeks for 9 months after an initial month of 12 treatments had significantly lower pain and disability scores than those patients who had manipulation for just the initial onemonth period.

Additional evidence was provided by a second study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. In this study, 894 injured workers were followed for a period of one year. During that year, four different types of therapies were made available to the workers: medical management, physiotherapy, chiropractic, and no therapy. Episodes of repeat disability were recorded during the year following the initial injury. In summary, physiotherapy had the highest percentage of reinjured workers followed by those receiving medical management or no

treatment at all. The lowest incidence of repeat injury was found among those workers who had received chiropractic maintenance care. For several years I have been advocating maintenance care to my patients who suffer from chronic and recurrent low back pain as it has been my observation that those patients who stick to a preventative treatment plan tend to suffer far less than those who only seek care when things get really bad. It’s great to see these results being studied and published in prestigious medical journals.

From the Abby Whalers to the UCD Aggies Abbotsford’s Eric Martel earns water polo scholarship in California Cole WAGNER Contributor

If there’s one thing that Eric Martel knows, it is how fast things can change. Three years ago, Martel might not have ever dreamed that following graduation, he would be going down to California to join an elite varsity water polo team at the University of California – Davis. His passion at the time, like a lot of young athletes in Abbotsford, was for another sport played on (frozen) water. And for most Canadians, the decision to leave a promising start in high-level hockey (a sport where Canadians are the undisputed kings) for a chance to play – what is it called again? – water polo, might seem a little baffling. For the kid they used to call “Shark Bait,” the switch was a stroke of genius. While his nickname from the days of swim racing with the Abbotsford Whalers didn’t stick into his adolescence, Martel’s natural ability in the pool never faded. And since making the switch from hockey to full-time polo in his Grade 10 year, Martel’s rise in the sport has been meteoric. Last summer, the Abbotsford native was selected to represent Canada at the Junior Pan American games in Kingston, Jamaica. This summer, he’ll be getting acquainted with his new teammates at UC Davis, preparing for a season of Division I NCAA polo at one of California’s top schools. How quickly things change. “I signed the letter of intent with UC Davis in February,” said Martel. “I’ve always been a good student, so getting a good education while playing high-level water polo was something that really appealed to me.” Though the odds of a Canadian po-

When Martel joins Davis next season, he will be one of only three Canadian athletes playing Division I polo. The fact that Martel was scouted, and actively recruited, by a number of California universities before signing with Davis makes the feat even more impressive. Simply put – Canadian kids don’t make these teams. It’s something that Martel doesn’t dwell

on too much – more Canadian guys, younger than him, are starting to see the NCAA as a possibility after graduation, said Martel. But the centre-forward is gifted with a uniquely powerful frame to go along with his skill set. He stands, at 18 years old, over six feet tall, and weighs more than 210 pounds – size that will be essential as he moves on from competing against boys to playing against full-grown men. “I might have to adjust my game a little bit playing against bigger guys,” admitted

Martel. “But for the most part, I’m going to be trying the same stuff I’m doing at this level.” Martel will have to make a number of other adjustments as he moves to the NCAA next season – among them, playing under a coach who doesn’t share the last name “Mitchell.” Since being recruited for the Whalers’ program when he was 10 years old, and then moving into Fraser Valley Water Polo’s development program, Martel has played for teams coached by the Mitchell brothers – Ian, Kevin, and Justin – every season. That relationship has proved fruitful for both parties. Martel has had the benefits of being mentored by a former Canadian Olympian in Kevin Mitchell, while the hulking centre forward has provided consistent offence for the Fraser Valley Water Polo Club throughout his tenure with the team. This season, Martel is leading the way again for the U19 Valley men’s team. His 54 goals places him within the top 10 scorers in the nation-wide National Championship League. To put it another way, Martel contributes almost a quarter of the team’s total goal scoring by himself. To achieve success at the next level, Martel will need to stick with what brought him to this point: his work ethic, said Kevin Mitchell. “Eric’s size and skill make him elite, but what really sets him apart is his attitude,” said Mitchell. “Some guys understand what it takes to succeed, and Eric is one of those guys,” he added. In the meantime, before he moves to California this summer to settle in with his new teammates, Martel said he’s looking forward to playing out the rest of the season with his longtime Fraser Valley squad.

UFV Cascades sign trio of players University of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball coach Adam Friesen has begun the process of reloading his roster for the 2016-17 season, signing a trio of recruits who played their high school basketball in B.C. Andrew Morris, a transfer from the University of Victoria, and Surrey high school seniors Daniel Adediran (Pacific Academy) and Sagar Dulay (Tamanawis Secondary) will suit up for the Cascades this fall. Morris and Adediran both stand 6’5” and will add great size and skill to UFV’s wing rotation, while Dulay brings excellent playmaking and shooting ability at the point guard spot. As a senior at St. Thomas More Collegiate, Morris averaged 20.1 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game and

led his Knights squad to a silver medal at the 2012 B.C. AA high school basketball championship. He also earned MVP honours at the St. Thomas More Chancellor tournament, which the Knights won. Morris began his post-secondary basketball career at Simon Fraser University, redshirting the 2012-13 season. He spent the next two years with the Capilano Blues of the PacWest conference, earning a PacWest second team all-star nod in 2013-14 and first team all-star honours in 2014-15. He averaged 18.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in his second year with the Blues, and was named Capilano’s male athlete of the year. Friesen is thrilled to be adding a talented veteran of Morris’s ilk to the Cascades roster.

“He’s a versatile player who impacts the game in a lot of different ways,” Friesen said. “Offensively, he’s a threat behind the three-point line as well as being able to take it all the way to the rim, and on defence, he’s an active, athletic defender who can guard multiple positions.” Adediran is coming off a strong performance at the B.C. AA provincial championship – he averaged 32.5 points, 16.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game while shooting 55 per cent from the field, and earned the tournament’s top defensive player award. His Pacific Academy Breakers squad finished 12th. Adediran garnered a slew of other all-star awards during his senior season, highlighted by a first team

all-star nod after leading his team to a silver medal at the Fraser Valley AA championships. He was also named MVP at the Westsyde tournament and an all-star at the W.J. Mouat Hawkball, Brentwood and Surrey RCMP tourneys. In addition, he’s been selected to play in the upcoming Surrey city all-star game. “I think he can be an elite defensive player and rebounder for his position, Friesen said. “And offensively, he has tremendous hands and finishes well around the basket. His jump shot is good, but it’s going to continue to improve.” Dulay becomes the second member of his family to suit up for the Cascades – older brother Manny has been a key player for UFV

over the past four seasons, and returns this fall for his fifth year. The younger Dulay recently put the finishing touches on a successful high school hoops career at Tamanawis, helping the Wildcats win the Fraser Valley zone championship and a silver medal at the B.C. AAAA provincials. He was a second team all-star at both the Fraser Valleys and provincials, and added tourney all-star nods at the Surrey RCMP Classic and the Tamanawis Holiday Invitational. He’ll also be joining Adediran at the Surrey city all-star game. “Sagar shoots well, passes well, dribbles well, and has a high IQ,” Friesen said.

kicked off in March, with Yale posting wins over Clayton Heights on March 31 and Mouat on April 7. The Hawks posted their first regular-season win of the season, with a 31-12 win over Sardis on Tuesday. Bateman opened up the AA schedule with a 38-29 win over the Abbotsford Secondary Panthers on March 7, with the Panthers bouncing back with a 53-10 win over DW Poppy on March 31.

The Timberwolves lost 21-10 to GW Graham on April 5, and then defeated Brookswood by default on Tuesday.

With a 1.4 anniversary of the Nuova 500’s launch, Fiat introduced litre engine under the hood, this ‘baby’ takes less than the new 500. ten seconds to reach 100 klicks, rather than the ten It was clearly influenced stylistically by the 1957 Nuodays it took the original 1950s 500 cc version (just va 500 but weighed in at 1,072 kilograms, more than kidding). It has just 101 horses to draw power from twice the weight of the original. And a front-mounted but it’s enough to bob around the city and freeway

Peter Sum, of east Vancouver, is now the proud owner of a brand-new 2016 Chevrolet electric car, supplied by BC Chevrolet Dealers. He is the winner of the Vancouver International Auto Show contest, co-sponsored by Black Press Community Media, publishers of this newspaper, which attracted more than 28,000 entries.

Safety Tip: driving is no challenge as long as you are not looking to drag race. Once you get past the name and the style interpretation, this commemorative edition is a very different car from the real 1957 edition. It’s got all the extras today’s drivers demand, such as a comprehensive air bag system, hill start assist, electronic stability control, touchscreen navigation and comfy leather seats. The tester also had a power sunroof, which adds a $750 to the base price of $22,995. Don’t think you would want to do without that goody. The full leather package, with classy accent stitching, adds another $2,000. With the inclusion of the $1,755 destination charge, the final sticker price for this version hit $28,755. Not a cheap little car at all but it’s more than merely cute and it’s a lot of fun to drive.

With the weather getting warmer, give your vehicle a seasonal tune-up. If you have winter tires, swap them for all-seasons in good condition and properly inflated. Change your wiper fluid if you were using an anti-freeze solution and replace your wiper blades if they’re cracked or rigid.

Even tho it’s been 3 years there are many times I still shed tears. You were a man I admired so much, I know there were many lives that you touched. Always a smile as you walked down the street, always a joke for the people you’d meet . Constantly giving because that was you, collecting carts, shoveling neighbors sidewalks and MR Fix-it at A&W. Your faith in the Lord meant everything to you, so making sure others knew Him was the passion in you. It didn’t seem fair you were taken so fast, but our cherished talks and memories will always last. Holding hands was our last touch, you were my Dad and I loved you so much. Forever in my heart, Lisa xo

OBITUARIES

The Adventures of Ron Regush It’s not about the people he left behind but those he touched along the way! Ron was born on his uncle’s kitchen table 74 years ago in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on either November 4th or 5th (this was an ongoing debate). He was the only child of Pete and Jenny (Jean) who operated a pool hall and sold moonshine on the side. The family lived in Smuts, SK which was largely settled by Ukrainians. At 5 years of age the family moved to Vancouver. Their home on Alexandria Street in the east end was a regular gathering place for all their friends looking for a good meal and an endless supply of whisky. Ron only spoke Ukrainian when he entered school so it was a bit of a struggle at first. By the time he reached high school he began to realize the importance of continuing on to University. He was totally self motivated. It was in the Chem Lab at UBC that Ron first met Joanne. One of their first dates was a BC Lions football game at the old Empire Stadium. It was Joanne’s first introduction to the game and developed into an activity that they both passionately enjoyed. Seattle Seahawks was their NFL team and nothing would interrupt their Sunday afternoon football. ‘’Go Hawks!” In 1962, Ron and Joanne eloped to Bellingham and soon after their son Peter was born. Joanne was happy at home with her young son but Ron was always focused on completing his teaching program. He ensured that his small family was well looked after by taking on whatever jobs were available. He drove taxi for Yellow Cab and worked as a garbage collector for both the Vancouver Garbage Department and Smithrite. It was while collecting other people’s garbage that Ron developed a keen eye and an appreciation for antiques. Every day he would come home with some form of treasure either for the house or for Peter to play with. Ron truly found his calling with the Special Education Program in the Mission School District working with his students, their parents and the community. He developed a unique program that placed his students with local employers giving them valuable work experience. Because of Ron’s incredible tenacity (stubbornness!) and refusal to accept no for an answer this program was largely funded by the government. A highlight of his career and his 19 years in the Mission school district was having his ‘kids’ included in the final graduation ceremony. In 1971 Ron, Joanne and Peter moved to 5 acres in Mount Lehman where Ron became interested in raising domestic Chianina cattle. Peronjonina Farms was born and Peter became involved in 4H. The farm held both sad and wonderful memories. Ron’s dad died soon after from lung cancer. Ron and Joanne began the building of their new home and his mom, Jean, moved into the little original house on the property. Memorable dinner parties were held at the farm with their many friends, colleagues and neighbours. While working at Lumberland in Clearbrook, Peter met his soon to be wife Heather. In 1990 Peter and Heather married and Ron and Joanne decided it was time for a change. They set their sights on the Cariboo. Not wanting to give up acreage life they found a beautiful spot in McLeese Lake. Ron’s favourite saying about this life change was that “he was moving to the Cariboo to fish and die.” Fishing became a passionate pastime for Ron and Joanne and the freezer was always full of trout. Ron successfully obtained funding so that he could continue working with the students with special needs and started up a work experience program in Williams Lake through the Cariboo Chilcotin School District. Ron retired from teaching in 1999. Ron had 3 granddaughters who he dearly loved spending time with. Emma was born in 1998 followed by the twins Olivia and Georgia in 2003. Some of their adventures included fishing with Grandpa and trips to Disneyland. Trips to the north were frequent to celebrate the many special events that his grandchildren were involved in. The trips involved piano, dance, birthdays and always at Christmas. Another passion of Ron’s was travelling and experiencing the wonders of the world. Ron trekked the trails of Matchu Peechu, walked the great wall of China, fished for piranha in the Amazon River, enjoyed fabulous cuisine and hospitality in South Korea, hung out in Europe and spent as much time as he could in Mexico. Ron died March 22, 2016. He was a unique personality. Once you met him you never forgot him! Ron was an excellent storyteller who could make the mundane sound extraordinary. Most of what is written is from those stories - readers beware, a true fisherman can always tell a good tale! His was a life well lived. Never to be forgotten by Joanne, Peter, Heather, Emma, Olivia and Georgia! As per Ron’s wishes there will be no service. Consider making a donation to the Mission or Williams Lake Association for Community Living. Have a scotch or a martini for Ron!
