Cops close to cracking chicken caper Hundreds of poultry pilfered ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com
A
bbotsford Police are investigating the theft of hundreds of chickens this week. It’s another example in a string of livestock thefts that have plagued Abbotsford and surrounding communities the last six months. More than 5,500 pigeons have been plucked from farmers since November, and a herd of 17 goats was rustled in March. Const. Ian MacDonald said the latest thefts took place Sunday and Tuesday overnight. Around 325 chickens and a quantity of eggs worth approximately $2,400 were stolen from a property in the 500 block of Gladwin Road during the first robbery. Police are still gathering details about losses at the second farm on Vye Road, said MacDonald. The APD is actively investigating Abbotsford’s livestock rustlers. “Since the pigeon robberies, the APD has had a dedicated livestock investigation officer,” MacDonald said. “We call him the ‘goat-to guy’. He’s on it.” Progress is being made in the case with people and locations of interest being identified, added MacDonald. “We’re hoping for a resolution soon.” It’s believed the rustlers are reselling the stolen animals at auctions, private sales and over the Internet on craigslist.
(Little) food for thought
As our nation celebrates the season of Stanley, some local families are still going hungry ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com
I
t may be the season of plenty for Canucks fans, but times are lean at the Abbotsford Food Bank, which is struggling to find something to cheer about in the face of its annual summer crunch. Janna Dieleman, of Abbotsford Community Services, said the food bank always labours to meet demand over the sunny holiday season, and this year the shortage is more acute than ever. “It’s sort of a cliché, but hunger never takes a summer vacation,” said Dieleman, adding the food bank is in real need of baby food and formula. “Christmas is when we get most of our funds but it’s hard to make them stretch, especially given the increase in food and fuel costs this year. It’s harder than ever for families to make ends meet.” The food bank serves around 4,000 people a

month - more than 40 per cent are children and 90 per cent of the families are headed by single parents. However, in the wake of the economic recession, more families with two working parents and seniors are approaching the food bank for help. “A lot of people are working, but are no longer working full-time at jobs with benefits. It makes raising a family harder,” Dieleman said. “And a lot more seniors with fixed incomes find
it hard to afford the nutritious food they need.” The community has a tendency to forget about the food bank as people and families go away on holidays. However, some hunger pangs will be alleviated by a successful annual luncheon at Phoenix Restaurant coordinated by Abbotsford’s Sport and Spine rehabilitation clinic along with Sun Hang Do, Y.O.U. Seminars, CBI Health Centre and Magnuson Ford Mariners Football Club. Close to 200 people attended the event last Thursday that raised more than $8,000 in cash and 2,600 pounds of food. Olympic and World Cup skier Kelly VanderBeek, guest speaker at the event, talked to the crowd about positive results that stem from optimism, perseverance and cooperation both in the world of professional sports and within a community. “You don’t pick yourself up alone but with the help of individuals and the community,” she said about helping the food bank. “It’s all about picking up your neighbour.”
■ Top items needed at the food bank include baby formula, canned fruit and tuna, Boost and Ensure liquid meals, powdered milk, large diapers, and fresh produce. To help or for more information visit www.abbotsfordfoodbank.com.

Warm weather heats up flood watch CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com
T
he concern of flood risk in Abbotsford and Mission is growing amid high snow pack levels and increasing temperatures. After one of the coolest springs on record, temperatures in the Fraser Valley are expected to rise up to 26 C with sunny skies over the weekend, and with the snow pack melting at a quicker rate than before, river levels in the area are expected to rise. “These are the weather conditions to be concerned about,” said Steve Litke, senior program manager with the Fraser River Basin Council. “If the snow melt is delayed, then the longer it is delayed the more likely we’re going to get those warm temperatures . . . which seems to be the scenario that’s unfolding right now.” Litke estimated that the snowmelt is
about three to four weeks behind what it usually is for this time of year, thanks in large part to unseasonably cool temperatures in April and May. As the mercury across B.C. has gradually increased, so to have water levels on the Fraser River.
“Anyone living in a flood zone should be aware of the risk.” – Ron Hull Fire Chief
According to the B.C. River Forecast Centre, the water levels hit five metres in Mission on Tuesday – another metre could prompt a warning. In the last five days, the river has risen almost half a metre, and forecasters are expecting levels to peak between 9,000 and 11,000 cubic metres of water per second, which bring the risk right
on par with what it was in 2007. However that estimate is much lower than the 8.9 metres (18,000 cms) that caused the 1894 flood, the 8.2 metres (17,200 cms) in 1948, and 7.1 metres (14,400 cms) in 1972. Deputy Fire Chief Ron Hull of the Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service said based on the information that he has, the flood risk is still low, but folks in low-lying areas, such as the Matsqui prairie and Sumas prairie, should be prepared nonetheless. “Anyone living in a flood zone should be aware of the risk,” said Hull. “The biggest responsibility [for people in flood zones] is just monitoring and keeping an eye on the risk themselves.” In case of a flood, the city will coordinate its emergency services, including evacuation; however, homeowners are still responsible for their property, said Hull.
“You can imagine there was some degree of shock and trauma,” said MacDonald. H o w e v e r, t h e y o u n g woman also made a fuss by pointing and yelling, and in doing so, drew attention to the incident along the busy street and forced the suspect to flee. “I commend the young l a d y. S h e d i d t h e r i g h t thing,” said MacDonald, adding anyone finding themselves in similar situations should make lots of noise and head for public places or nearby businesses and residences. The APD issued a warning less than three weeks ago about a similar series of indecent acts involving young girls at Rotary Stadium Park in March and April. It’s not yet clear if the most recent incident is linked to the previous ones, said MacDonald. Police are recommending that students travelling to and from school in the area walk in pairs or groups.

Students snag Heritage selection
AESC opens for Stanley June 6
Bear warning in Mission
Abbotsford students nabbed four of the five places for students chosen to represent the Fraser Valley at the provincial Heritage Fair in July in Victoria. Approximately 120 students participated in the Fraser Valley Regional Heritage Fair, from schools in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Agassiz, Hope, Langley and Maple Ridge. The four students from Abbotsford School District chosen to go the provincial event are Josh Appenheimer from Dunach Elementary, Brayden Baerg from ASIA North Popular Elementary, Natalie Timmermans from King Traditional Elementary and Kezia Ewert from Abbotsford Middle School. In March over 800 students participated in their school level Heritage Fair, with students being chosen from those fairs to go to the regional fair held in late April in Abbotsford.
Global Spectrum, operators of the Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre, will open the arena to fans who want to watch Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins on June 6 at 5 p.m. The arena will be open for games 6 and 7 of the series, if those games are needed. There is no charge to attend. Free parking at surrounding lots, food and beverage specials along with watching the game on the AESC Jumbotron are some of the highlights fans can look forward to. Fans will be able to enter the venue through the main doors located on University Way starting at 4 p.m. For more information visit www.abbotsfordcentre.ca.
Keep a lid on those picnic baskets, the bears are out of hibernation. Mission RCMP are warning the public to keep garbage bins inside and take the proper precautions, as bears have awoken from their winter slumber and built up quite an appetite. People are also encouraged to store pet foods indoors, keep the barbecue clean and never, under any circumstances, feed the bears, which is against the law. Police are also asking the public to remain calm and keep away from bears, should one of the large hungry animals enter the neighbourhood. If a bear appears to be threatening to human safety, call police, or the conservation officer at 1-877-952-7277. If you encounter a bear, make yourself look big, group together with other people if possible, speak calmly and back away slowly in the direction you came from.

Rights commissions have to go
I
t’s time to once again set our sights on the country’s human rights commissions. A few years ago this was one of the most controversial issues in the country. The Canadian Human Rights Commission, and its provincial counterparts, were under intense scrutiny for their reckless attempts to impose censorship and exhibit a horrifying disregard for due process. Created many decades ago to address discrimination toward those seeking employment or housing, these commissions soon found themselves with little work on their hands as there just didn’t seem to be enough discrimination out there to keep thousands of politically correct bureaucrats and appointees busy. So they started seeking out other witches. Magazine publishers, stand-up comedians, web site operators – soon none of us were free from the over reaching clutches of the human rights industry. But the tables turned and soon their activities and ludicrous rulings dominated the headlines. Parliament, the Privacy Commissioner and even the RCMP investigated them. Employees of these commissions have been accused of being members in several online hate groups and routinely posting racist messages to see what type of mischief they could rouse up. And then, of course, they would come to the rescue and bust the owner of the domain. But as is usually the case, news
JOHN MARTIN
Crime matters items have a limited shelf life. The commissions briefly toned down their more outrageous buffoonery and even acquitted the occasional chap unfortunate enough to be hauled before one of these kangaroo courts. Legislators, very weary of being branded “anti-human rights” were reluctant to force meaningful reform on these lawless social engineers. The uproar soon subsided. But the thugs who run these commissions may not be out of the woods yet. Tim Hudak, leader of the Ontario Conservatives and possibly soon to be premier, has pledged to reform the Ontario Human Rights Commission. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall appears to be going ahead with his intention to enforce rules of evidence and proper procedure on that province’s commission – a move that has the human rights bureaucrats screaming bloody murder. But the best move would be for Stephen Harper’s government to axe the Canadian Human Rights Commission altogether. It is a disgrace. At the least, the federal government should gut the legislation so the commission has
limited authority. A good start would be to dramatically slash their budget so they would have trouble taking on the amount of frivolous cases they’re accustomed to. Consider this; every day we dismiss criminal charges, even of a serious nature, because we don’t have enough judges, prosecutors and sheriffs to process the backlog of cases. Yet we spend millions and millions on these commissions so they can, among other things, prosecute a comedian who insulted an intoxicated heckler who repeatedly interrupted his show. This federal government has never been shy about cancelling funding to groups and organizations fond of spreading hate. It has already shown its commitment to human rights and its opponents would look hapless trying to accuse it of rolling back human rights by shutting down or gutting the commissions. Just as they’re willing to take some fallout for eliminating the gun registry and axing the political party subsidy, they should do the right thing and call it curtains on the country’s human rights commissions. Inquisitions and kangaroo courts have no place in this day and age. ■ John Martin is a criminologist at the University of the Fraser Valley. Email him at John.Martin@ufv.ca.

hen Prime Minister Stephen Harper promised Senate reform, we thought he intended to try and improve it for Canada, not improve upon its use as a Conservative payoff/ reward system. Harper’s move to appoint three defeated Tory candidates to the Senate drew howls from opponents – as it should. It’s one thing to find retired politicians – those who have gone on to do some good works in their retirement – it’s quite another to take newly defeated candidates and put them in the Senate. Harper had promised to reform the Senate by making it an elected body, and if he was serious about that promise, he would have at least waited until all the election signs had been pulled out of lawns before rewarding his team’s losers. And then there’s the case of defeated Conservative MP Josee Verner, who receives severance of roughly $116,000, and whom Harper immediately appointed to the $132,300 per year Senate posting. Talk about double-dipping. Some pundits have suggested that Harper appointed the defeated Tories to incite the call for reform again, and to get the provinces involved. If he did, there’s certainly easier and less destructive ways of moving reform forward. We understand that previous parties have used the Senate to reward members, and as a guaranteed backup for government policies – but few seem to have used it so quickly or so nakedly for their own interest as Stephen Harper’s Conservatives. The Senate offers lawmakers and the parliamentary system an opportunity to be a force for a judicious, sober second look at legislation – but it is becoming (perhaps already is) just a parking place for patronage, and consequently, it will continue to be a target for derision and jokes. If the government is serious about reform, it needs to ask the provinces to get Senators on the ballot for the next election. And it needs to lead the movement, not exploit the system for its own benefit. ■ To comment on this editorial, e-mail us at letters@abbotsfordtimes.com.

Big rig parking deserves the city’s attention Editor, the Times:
Residential areas are a place for families, seniors and children, not a commercial truck stop. This problem came to the forefront before the 2008 election and the city has failed to deal with this problem properly. They can spend $1.2 million to subsidize a hockey team, but have no money to build a commercial truck park for the truckers. Yes, trucking is a vital part of our economy, but our residential neighbourhoods are not a fill-in for the cities’ neglect to ensure our city has proper parking for – as Peary stated, “The truckers, who are a vital part of our economy.” I would suggest that Mayor Peary can have them park on the street right in front of his residence for a few months, but that would not be considerate to his neighbours, who would also have to endure the cars parked on the street to accomodate the rig in the driveway, the smell of diesel wafting into their open windows and doors, air brake and diesel motor noise, driveways stained with oil and gas and just the overbearing presence of large trucks in a
quiet neighbourhood. Peary was elected in 2008 by a majority of residents who are truckers in this city, on the assumption he would fix the truck parking problem. Now, it is 2011, just before the next election and the mayor and council have done nothing to address inadequate truck parking. And like everything else, they are trying to get a quick fix for this problem, which could be at the expense of residential neighbourhoods in this city. We have wallowed in the crime for five years and mayor and council did nothing to assist police or residents and the last thing we need now is commercial vehicle traffic and parking disruptions in our neighbourhoods. We have had enough. Lilly Kaetler Abbotsford

Times (Flying high with the right wing approach). Rock bemoans the fact of Stephen Harper’s philosophy of elitism that Rock attributes to Ayn Rand of “Atlas Shrugged” fame. My concern is that Harper supports a “reasonable restriction on freedom of speech” (Canadian Constitution Foundation Letter of April 28, 2008). However, as innocuous as this may sound, Harper has used this wording as a weapon to stifle any speech whose opinion is not in accord with his government’s thinking. He, as prime minister, with far less than half the people’s support, can decide what issues will or will not be debated in Parliament. This is a self-appointed dictator, and not the leader of a democracy, but rather the chief of an oligarchy – the small group that decides what will be done in governing, supposedly, in the name of democracy.
When freedom of speech is threatened, it is not democracy. It’s nothing but the beginnings of tyranny. We elect members to Parliament to speak for us, not to be supinely trained seals adhering to their tamer’s commands. Is it not time for our elected members to take a stand against this arrogant attitude of his? Why not demand free votes, especially on moral issues as abortion? “As long as I am prime minister, we are not opening the abortion debate.» On Stephen Harper’s attitude towards governing, Robert T. Rock and I seem to agree. George Bochenek Abbotsford
Homophibia is here and still thriving Editor, the Times:
In response to Richard Peachey’s letter to the Times on May 17 (Homophobia
fighters, be fair), I can vouch for the fact that homophobia has, and still exists to this day. I am in Grade 12 and for the last six or seven years, I have witnessed and experienced homophobic actions both in and out of schools. Now, Mr. Peachey states that he respects those who are homosexual as human beings – this is a fact I am glad to hear – but would he step in and intervene if verbal abuse towards a gay teenager occurred in his presence? I have no doubt that such situations have already presented themselves. Most adults turn a blind eye to homophobic slurs, believing ‘that’s the way kids are these days.’ Really? What kind of a society is this to settle for such an excuse – when we preach equality, love, and respect? Will we sink so low that we will say ‘Show everybody respect, just not the gay ones.’? This is not a question of whether or not homophobia exists – it thrives, in a time where we need to realize that we are not as different as one may be led to believe. I understand the
reasoning behind people’s disagreement concerning the “homosexual lifestyle,” but to see that parents are not educating their kids on simple concepts, like common respect, is disheartening to say the least. Tori Wong Abbotsford
Back opinion with concrete facts Editor, the Times:
Robert Rock can criticize Ayn Rand all he wants(Times, May 26) but he should at least make some effort to get the facts straight. Ayn Rand extolled capitalism because it is based on the trader principle. Men and women are free to trade among themselves for their mutual selfinterest; free to make the countless decisions necessary to support themselves and their loved ones. It is this self-interest that Rock slanders as a “Screw you, I’ve got mine” mentality while he peddles his snake oil policies best summed up as, ‘Screw you, I’m taking what’s yours.’ Bert Joly Sherwood Park, Alta.

A10 ❘ FAITH ❘ THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 2011 THE TIMES
– DENNIS DUCKLOW/FOR THE TIMES
The Vancouver Canucks (and apparently Lord Stanley himself) are committed to winning the Stanley Cup. But what kind of commitment do you have to your faith?
Commitment is key in faith, too
A
s I write this, two “indestructible forces” are about to clash. The Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins are vying for the Stanley Cup. Both teams are very strong. Both teams are very determined to win. Of course, I’m personally rooting for the Canucks, but other than that, there’s not much I can do to be of help. One thing is for sure: commitment to the cause is vital. I don’t think I’m that old, but I can remember very distinctly when the word “commitment” was held in great esteem, particularly in interpersonal relationships. Our society is sadly lacking today because of the seeming demise, not just of the word, but more importantly, the concept it involves. Nowhere is this more important than in marriage and the family. With today’s ‘Me Generation’ the only thing that seems to be significant is what “I” want – my personal satisfaction has become my personal gratification. If this relationship is going to cramp my style, make demands that might hinder my personal pleasure, forget it. If I don’t like it, you certainly couldn’t expect me to put some effort into making the marriage work. I’ll just walk away from it. Why bother about the hassle of marriage at all? We’ll try living together for a while, and if it doesn’t work, we’ll just split. Perhaps I sound cynical. But I’ve seen far too much of this – a basic unwillingness to a true commitment to marriage, to the idea of really talking things out and struggling together to make this things work. And the ones who suffer most in all this are the children of broken homes. Not only are they crying inwardly for two parents, rather than just
FRED MOORE
Faith that matters one, they are learning for themselves that commitment is a nasty word. When God established the marriage relationship between a man and a woman (and notice that I said, “a man” and “a woman”), He intended that the bond between them should be permanent. Jesus said, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” Now, I’m certainly not advocating continuing a miserable marriage. But I would like to suggest two things. One, don’t enter a relationship that will involve sharing your life with another person without knowing that person well. The old adage ‘opposites attract’ is all too true. Do you really know the likes and dislikes of the other person, in just about every conceivable area? This takes time, and it doesn’t need to involve living together. Secondly, be sure that you and your prospective partner are in complete agreement that this is to be a lifetime commitment to each other; that each of you will be willing to sacrifice yourself for the other person. That’s not just good commitment. That’s genuine love. “Commitment” really isn’t a nasty word. It just takes effort. God bless you. ■ Fred Moore and his wife Mar-
garet live joyfully together in Abbotsford.

At Home Excellent outdoor kitchens
A
growing number of homeowners are dining out, and not at a fancy restaurant – but in the comfort of their own backyards. The trend toward outdoor kitchens and dining spaces enables people to head “out to dinner” any time they want. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to have an estate or a seven-figure salary to be able to construct an outdoor kitchen in the yard. The work area can be designed around how much or how little space there is and be customized to different budgets. The outdoor entertaining space is growing in popularity every year. The concept of an outdoor kitchen is nothing new. The outdoor or “summer” kitchen has become a viable component of Mediterranean living for centuries. The heat of the summer drove many people outdoors to shady spots where they could cook on grills or stoves while enjoying a nice breeze. The outdoor kitchen also marries entertaining with meal preparation for the ultimate social occasion. The outdoor kitchen of today can be as intricate or as simple as homeowners desire. There are some elements that can set the space apart, which can be customized depending on design style and budget. ■ Grill: Instead of a simple grate over some coals, think about investing in a grill that has multipurpose cooking aides. These can include a side burner, a rotisserie turner and various temperature-control features. A grill should boast the conveniences of an indoor range and stove with the added benefit of a grill surface. ■ Pergola: The outdoor kitchen should be comfortable, and that means having an area
outside of the immediate elements. A pergola or awning can offer a shade source under which cooking is much more agreeable. Plus, you can then install a fan or overhead lighting to the pergola for even more comfort. ■ Sink: Washing produce or washing up is much easier if there is a sink nearby. The closer the outdoor kitchen is to the actual house, the easier (and less expensive) it will be to run plumbing. ■ Counters: Whether butcher block or an expanse of granite, having a work space available for food prep or as a serving surface can make an outdoor kitchen more convenient. ■ Fireplace: When the weather turns chilly, a fireplace will be a focal point and also a source of warmth. If a fireplace is beyond budget, consider a chiminea or fire pit instead. Placing an outdoor sofa or some reclining chairs by the fire creates an intimate, and cozy place to congregate. ■ Garden: Herbs and vegetables can grow adjacent to the outdoor kitchen. This enables pick-and-cook possibilities. Also, consider a compost pile or bin in proximity so that scraps can easily be turned into rich fertilizer. ■ Refrigerator: Some homeowners choose to install a small refrigerator or wine cooler to keep items chilled for use. This helps promote safe cooking and serving practices. ■ Entertainment: When installing electrical components for lights, consider installing surround-sound speakers that connect to a music player or home theater. Those with larger budgets can explore the options in televisions that can resist some outdoor weather and provide a different ambiance for watching movies.

Wonderful wood furniture
– FILE/TIMES
With the weather expected to heat up in the coming days and weeks, outdoor wood patio furniture will become a hotticket item for those barbecues and summertime parties. Here’s a look at some of the best choices.
Making the best choices for your patio & budget
W
ood patio furniture can be a decorative and functional addition to outdoor living. The longevity of the furniture and the upkeep required will depend heavily on the type of wood used in construction. Choosing the right wood based on use and budget can help consumers get more for their money. Many consumers are selecting natural wood patio furniture over resins, plastic and metal options. Although it seems a simple purchase, when faced with the multitude of woods and designs available, shoppers can be easily confused. Learning about the different species of wood commonly used in furniture crafting can make determining why one table is $1,000 and the other is double the price.
Pine:
Pine is a household name and a common component of many building products and furniture. Pine’s popularity could stem from its availability and affordability. The fact that it is often harvested locally helps keep prices down. Pine as an untreated wood is susceptible to rot and may not be as durable as other woods. Very often pine is pressuretreated to improve its durability and performance. The light color of pine enables it to be stained or painted in a variety of shades.
Teak:
Another familiar type of wood, teak is resilient, dense and straight-grained, making it a very stable choice for outdoor furniture. Without preservative, teak will weather to a gray colour and still remain highly resistant to decay – even up to 50 years. Thanks to that durability, teak is typically among the more expensive options.
Cedar:
Cedar is a rapidly renewable resource thanks to it being a quick grower. That can make cedar an attractive choice to those who are interested in going green with their patio furniture choices. Another advantage to cedar is its resistance to weather and insects. Cedar satchels are often used in closets to keep moths and other bugs away.
Redwood:
Another softwood, redwood is also harvested domestically from the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia and California. Although it is highly
resistant to rot and termites, it will need to be protected annually with an oil-based stain, sealer and preserver.
Roble:
A wood native to South America, roble is a dense, strong and lightweight wood. Darker shades of the wood are more resistant to decay. A preservative oil should be used every six months to maintain its beauty.
Jarrah:
Another exotic sounding wood, jarrah is harvested mostly from governmentmanaged forests in Australia. While this wood is naturally resistant to insects and rot, it is also fire-resistant, making it a safe option. It, too, is one of the more durable woods, lasting up to 50 years even without oiling or staining. It is one of the pricier options in outdoor furniture thanks to these properties.
Cypress:
This is a popular wood for wood garden furniture because it resists decay and cracking very well. Cypress has a distinctive yellowishred colour that many people find attractive, but it can also be painted if desired.
Brazilian Cherry:
Many people may think of this wood only for kitchen cabinet applications, but Brazilian cherry is dense and naturally weather-resistant. This makes it a fine choice for garden furniture. It is also used in playground equipment and decking.
Alder:
Alder is a hard wood that is valued for its strength and durability, and is related to the birch family. It is appreciated for its honey-hued tone and beauty.
Balau:
Balau is a very dense wood that is tightly grained and rich in tropical oils and resins. It has been used for shipbuilding, heavy-duty furniture and heavy construction, and coveted for its excellent strength and weather-resistant qualities. It is very strong and heavy, making it one of the sought-after choices in outdoor wood furniture materials, driving up the price. Although many types of wood patio furniture can be kept outdoors and remain durable, it’s recommended that homeowners cover or take in wood furniture when the season ends. This limits the chance of weather-related damage and cuts down
on the amount of cleaning and maintenance that may need to be done. Many homeowners find that wood patio furniture provides the beauty and comfort they desire for outdoor entertaining. Very often wood items can be lowmaintenance, affordable and environmentally friendly.

gula, the older leaves are fiery-tasting. Young, bigger leaves can be cooked. Many lettuces also prefer cool spring or fall weather. The best types for cut-and-come again are Cos and Romaine lettuce. But for summer use, it’s important to plant heat-resistant lettuce such as ‘Lollo Rossa’ or ‘Red Oakleaf.’ Even these two do best in shade. For fall planting, the heirloom lettuce ‘Winter Density’ is a useful choice. Tall leafy greens such as kale can be harvested repeatedly if you just cut a few leaves at a time. The heritage kales such as ‘Red Russian’ and ‘Hungry Gap’ are especially useful because they have impressive cold resistance. Another leafy vegetable which is harvested well into the fall is Swiss Chard. The leaves can be stir-fried and the stems can be sliced small and steamed. Some chards, such as the red ‘Rhubarb Chard’ or the multicoloured ‘Bright Lights’ are very pretty. For hot summers, New Zealand spinach thrives when other crops bolt and dry out. This makes everenlarging mats of small, succulent green leaves from late July to frost. Then there’s the beautiful nasturtium. The leaves are a mild, peppery treat in salad, the flowers can be eaten and so can the immature seed pods. One of the prettiest varieties is ‘Alaska’ which has delicate-coloured flowers and green-and-white variegated leaves.
OFF
L
eafy green vegetables can give you a longer and more varied harvest than any other food plants – and the ways these leaves can be used has widened in the last few years to include smoothies and wraps as well as salads. Most leafy greens tolerate part shade and many are cut-and-come again. Both these characteristics makes them very useful in containers on partlyshady balconies – especially since all the major pests of green leaves (slugs, flea beetles, aphids and leaf miners) seldom trouble apartment gardens. In-ground gardeners aren’t so lucky. Row covers are good protectors where the gardener feels flying insects are doing intolerable damage. But row covers aren’t cheap and need to be cleaned and stored very carefully if they are to last two or three years. Slug-infested gardens have special challenges because row-plantings make plants an easy meal. For instance a slug can chomp down a row of leafy seedlings in a single night. Many organic people prefer to dot vegetable plantings in isolated groups all over the food garden. This protects against disease transfer and insects and is effective if slug numbers are low. Where slugs are a major problem, gardeners might find it best to have all the leafy green veggies in one spot where hand-picking or alternative slug control can be more concentrated – a raised bed edged with copper tape is one good protection. A leafy green that slugs dislike is arugula. This is a fast-growing spring and fall crop that loves moist, cool weather. Young leaves are nicely peppery but old leaves are burningly hot. Corn salad is another cool-weather crop which survives mild frost, though it won’t grow in winter unless you protect it. The leaves form a rosette pretty enough for a flower garden and the sturdy leaves are quite pest-resistant. It likes very rich soil Mustard also needs early spring or late summer planting. Young leaves taste mild but, like aru-

Bertram named UFV’s top teacher D
r. Chris Bertram started his post-secondary education in a small, studentfocused institution that featured lots of student–faculty interaction, and he has ended up teaching in a similar place. Be r t ram, who lives in Chilliwack and teaches in Abbotsford, has been teaching kinesiology at the University of the Fraser Valley since 2003, and is this year’s winner of the UFV Teaching Excellence Award. His educational journey led him from the Athletic Therapy diploma program at Calgary’s Mount Royal College – with an original goal of becoming a sports medicine physician – through a bachelor’s and master’s degree in science at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and a PhD in kinesiology at Simon Fraser University. “I t a k e m y r o l e a s a n educator very seriously, so it is a huge honour for me to receive this award,” said Bertram, who in addition to teaching is actively involved
in several research projects at UFV. The primary project Bertram is involved in is a multi-partner, multi-year, investigation into motor skills of children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Bertram’s teaching and research specialty is motor behaviour, which he defines as the study of how the brain develops in childhood, how we learn new things as we develop, and how the brain is involved in controlling information and making subtle changes as it learns new things, as well as how we lose brain function as we age. One of Bertram’s other passions is golf. He is the coach of the very successful UFV men’s golf team and was the recipient of the BC Collegiate Coach of the Year. He also conducts research on methods of improving the golf swing in partnership with Cleveland Golf/Srixon Canada. – FOR MORE ON CHRIS BERTRAM, VISIT WWW.ABBOTSFORDTIMES.COM.

Abbotsford Quilter’s Guild members, from left, Darlene Hotner, Harriet Tomashewski and Penny Vance, not only enjoy quilting recently, but also the camaraderie of fellow members. Some quilt by hand while others use a sewing machine – all methods are acceptable. The Guild has 167 members throughout the Lower Mainland.

t is the quintessential ancient art form. Quilting dates back to the 12th century when the Crusaders introduced it in Europe, and later the skill became commonplace in North America during the 18th century. Keeping those traditions alive, the Abbotsford Quilter’s Guild is now 167 members strong, and they’re all gearing up for their big show June 10-11 at the Tradex. “It’s an expression of art,” said Darlene Hotner, who’s been quilting since 1991. “There’s an awful

lot of creativity that goes into it.” The Guild, with members from Abbotsford, Mission, Aldergrove, Langley, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, Surrey and Vancouver, has been working hard all year to create display quilts for Quilt Show 2011. As a charitable organization, the Guild also operates the We Care Program, where they donate 300 quilts a year to five local organizations, including the neonatal unit at the Abbotsford hospital, Peardonville House, transition houses, Victims Services and the New Beginnings Programs for teenage moms. “It’s a family thing for me,” said Harriet Tomashewski, who runs the We Care Program. Both her mother and grandmother were quilters, so it came naturally to her. The Guild also offers two $500 bursaries annually to students interested in fabric arts.

Aisha Klippenstein of ASIA Sumas is competing this weekend at the 2011 B.C. High School Track and Field championship at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby..
isha Klippenstein used one word to describe how she feels heading into this weekend’s B.C. High School Track and Field Championships at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby. She’s “excited.” And why wouldn’t she be? The Abbotsford School of Integrated Arts Sumas Mountain Grade 12 student recently took home first place in the senior girls triple jump with a distance of 11.25 metres – not far off the record of 11.37 metres held by Abbotsford’s own Natasha Miller. “I really like to compete in triple jump,” she said. “I hope that I’m improved for this year.” Before this week, Klippenstein was unaware of the record, who held it, and that she wasn’t too far off breaking it. “I would love to try and break that record,” she said, adding she knows Miller and has practised with her a couple of times throughout the last three years. “She’s kind of intimidating because she’s pretty good.”
Klippenstein may not break the record, and she’s not willing to put a guarantee on winning first place at this year’s championships, but her ascent through high school track and field is nothing short of amazing. She has been involved in track and field for just three years – she “just kind of tried it” one day. Prior to giving it a run in Grade 10, she was involved in soccer and dance. She’s also an artist and plans to go to university in the fall. Trying to draw comparisons between her athleticism and artistic ways can be difficult, she said. “One thing you’re just experimenting and the other you’re training for and you can control a bit more,” she said. But in some ways, Klippenstein applied those same, experimental attributes towards track and field. For now, the artist-turned-athlete said she’s just going to keep having fun, no matter what the result. ◗ The track and field championships begin Friday and conclude Saturday at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby.
Winnipeg NHL team means status quo for Abby Heat
N
o changes are coming for the Abbotsford Heat in the wake of Tuesday’s announcement that the NHL was officially coming back to Winnipeg. The announcement signifies the end of the AHL in Winnipeg, which means the Vancouver Canucks are in need of a new location to house their affiliate. A Flames spokesman said he believes there shouldn’t be any impact on the Heat’s affiliation with Calgary for the time being. The Heat and Flames are entering the third year of a 10-year supply fee agreement. – CAM TUCKER/TIMES

Lost?
February 20, 1967 - May 30 2011 Scott Gmur of Abbotsford, B.C. passed away peacefully on the evening of May 30, 2011, surrounded by his entire family and many friends at the young age of 44. Scott was a loving husband to Elaine, devoted father to Jerrica and Jordon and wonderful son to Wes and Carol. He was loved dearly by his sisters Tracey Pickett (Al; Ashley (Kevin), Chelsey (Derrick), Shelby); Carrie Houlton (Brianna, Danielle, Cody); and Leslie Gmur ( Ryley). He will be deeply missed by his uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews and many friends. Scott grew up in Abbotsford where hockey was a large part of his life. He played minor hockey in Abbotsford, captained the Vancouver Bantam and midget all Stars, where he met many lasting friends. Hockey players became one big supportive family, and friends for life.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Cancer June 21-July 22: You’re in a quiet, lowenergy month, but your hopes remain high, and friends still call – those hopes and friends are going to swell over the 12 months ahead, until your popularity reaches a 13-year peak, and your hopes burst into dreams fulfilled! But for now, accept a few weeks of quietude and recuperation. Meditate, contemplate and plan. Be charitable, spiritual, fulfill your obligations and deal with government agencies. Chase money Sunday/Monday. (Buy technology Sunday.) Paperwork, travel and messaging arise Tuesday to Thursday. Home, garden, kids Thursday onward. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Wishes come true this week and next. You’re still dealing with pressures on career, status and ambition fronts. Here, favour towards you continues until Thursday, but impatience and a critical attitude continue until June 20. Be diplomatic and eager to please, because the 12 months ahead can boost your career and status in the world in a lucky way – you could rise to a peak you’ve never achieved before! This influence can also expand problems – so don’t create any with impatience, illwill or (especially) unethical or illegal speech/action now to June 20. All’s good! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: The accent lies on career, ambitions, prestige relationships and your status in the community, world. Generally all is well here, and productive, especially Tuesday and Friday (work or schmooze late!) and June 16/17. But your mind continues to contemplate bigger horizons, religious ones, or foreign climes, or intellectual or love matters. These have turned lucky, and will expand luckily over the twelve months ahead. But short-term (until June 20) continue to avoid legal hassles, especially over sexual situations, debt and investments. You succeed midweek! Chase money Friday.

Aries March 21 - April 19: These weeks are easy but busy, filled with messages, paperwork, details and trips. Romance, pleasure, beauty and a winning streak visit Sunday to Tuesday morning – but don’t gamble with your income or possessions Monday p.m. Work and health concerns call Tuesday noon to early Thursday – plunge in early; your steady approach could trigger a lucky “wind at your back” influence, a bit of cosmic aid. Relationships start sweetly Thursday p.m., but they turn to confusion or misunderstanding this night, then right themselves (perhaps turning to love!) by Friday p.m. Plan accordingly. Taurus April 20-May 20: The emphasis lies on earnings, possessions, rote learning and sensuality. Your energy and charisma levels are good, your effectiveness high. And a cheerfulness about your monetary position in the world is stealing over you. In the 12 months ahead, you can make some excellent investment or financial decisions,can achieve physical gratification, and a partner’s income could improve, perhaps immensely! Your only “scourge” will be the tendency to put on weight (or to be arrogant due to your success). Be restful Sunday/Monday. Romance, pleasure arrive Tuesday p.m. to Thursday. Gemini May 21-June 20: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness are tops! Someone who is not free to dally might “befriend” you (quite recently, now or soon) – this could turn into a year-long affair, making you desire marriage. But it’s doomed to disappoint, so remain honest, reject triangles. You will also be befriended by someone “unromantically” – or by an agency. You will be welcomed and aided by governments this year ahead. Start important projects this week. Sunday/Monday bring travel, messaging. Land, home succeed Tuesday/Wednesday. Romance “up and down” Thursday-Saturday – chase it Friday p.m.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The emphasis lies on legalities, religion, far travel, culture (rituals) higher education, broadmindedness, compassion and love. Lingering “threads” (vines) of recent research, sexual (perhaps verboten) attractions, investments, finances and debt, deep health concerns, and lifestyle changes still creep around you. Neither cut these off nor deeply commit to them yet. There is a “partner” in there: but perhaps an illicit one. This whole zone has very recently turned lucky, and will expand or present you with providential opportunities over the twelve months ahead. Stay honest! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The accent lies on depths, mysteries, research, sexual desires, subconscious urges, health diagnosis, dream analysis and occultism, large finances and lifestyle changes. It’s an “all or nothing” time – you either commit, or break off. If hesitating about commitment to someone who’s been around awhile, remember that your true love decade has just begun. A bird in the hand might not be worth two in the bush. Partnerships of all kinds, business and love, meet huge luck in the 12 months ahead – that luck just began last Saturday. Study your future Tuesday p.m. to Thursday a.m. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The emphasis lies on relationships, opportunities and opposition, love and war. Everything’s above board – friends and enemies are open, honest. Relocation might occupy your thoughts – the best, most fortunate time in a quarter-century for this will occur from June 2012 to July 2013 – why rush it? Some “trailing tasks” are a hold-over from May: just complete them. Realize your work and duties will expand greatly over the 12 months ahead – with commensurate rewards. Sunday/Monday are sweet, gentle. Be ambitious midweek. Your hopes, popularity rise Thursday p.m. onward!
Ads continued on next page
June 5 - 11, 2011 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: This week and next pile work on your shoulders – and health, diet concerns. That’s OK, nothing you can’t handle; all will flow fairly smoothly. (Take care in both areas Monday and Thursday nights.) Your luck is starting to grow in romantic, creative, pleasurable, speculative and child-oriented zones – it will last until summer 2012. You might neither see nor sense this for a long while, then suddenly, an event occurs. Be open, ready – and innocent enough to believe! Sunday/Monday bring secrets and money decisions. Midweek’s gentle, wise. Be ambitious Thursday night onward! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The focus lies on romance, creative ventures, art, beauty, pleasure, vacation, risk and speculation, and child-oriented projects. But these are nothing compared to the huge year-long streak of the same that will arrive by mid-2012 – one that will fulfill a major life-wish! Prepare for that time by building a secure platform psychologically, emotionally and in concrete terms (e.g., buy a house).Your luck in real estate, domesticity, with children, security, retirement, gardening, Mother Nature – will reach a decade high from June 22, 2011 to mid-June , 2012. Don’t start early! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The emphasis lies on your home, security, children, nourishment, on Mother Nature, retirement, endings and beginnings. A minor new phase or project might begin in these areas midweek. Usually this phase (late May to late June) creates a restful, sluggish mood designed to give you a mid-year rejuvenation. But this time a lot of errands, trips, visits, calls and paperwork keep you busy. June 4 starts a year in which your career will involve a lot of running around and communicating. Romance disappoints Friday, flows smoothly Saturday. One met before Friday isn’t compatible. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

What our customers are saying...
Don was a no nonsense salesman; straight forward. This is our 5th truck; the price is always right and he always follows up. ~ J. Burchill
The guys in the service department were awesome; great sense of humour. They took the time to connect with me and did the little extras that really make a difference. The shuttle driver was super nice too. ~ S. Turner
