Sex offenders next door Neighours surprised and concerned over discovery Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
When convicted online predator Jeffrey Goddard was arrested Aug. 10 for allegedly breaching his probation, it was the first time his neighbours realized he was living on their
street. They were also shocked to discover that not only was another high-profile sexual offender – Donald Michel Bakker – was living in their neighbourhood, but he was in the same residence as
Goddard. The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) previously issued public notices following the release of Goddard from prison in February and when Bakker moved to the community early this month. Both had
served their full sentences. But neighbours on the small street in east Abbotsford said police did not contact them directly. Instead, the APD issued a map showing the general area in which Bakker Continued on A4

Fishermen line the banks of the Vedder River during a sockeye run several years ago. It’s unlikely there will be recreational or commercial fishery this summer.
Sockeye run is running out of steam Jennifer FEINBERG Black Press
It looks likely that neither the commercial fleet nor recreational anglers will be getting a crack at the prized sockeye salmon on the Fraser River this year. The size estimate for the 2012 summer run remained unchanged Friday at 1.3 million, and about 2.3 million for the total Fraser sockeye returns, according to the Pacific Salmon Commission.
“The late run sockeye is the limiting factor,” said Barry Rosenberger, co-chair of the Fraser River Panel, and also DFO’s area director for the Interior. They would need the late summer run to reach about 300,000 fish to trigger a commercial fishery opening for sockeye. “Currently we’re only at about 250,000 fish,” he said. At Fred’s Custom Tackle, the lack of a 2012 recreational sockeye opening will mean an estimated quarter of a million dollar hit

to the bottom line for the retail location in Chilliwack, said store owner Fred Helmer. He figures it’s another $350,000 in losses at the Abbotsford store. The fishery is a huge economic engine for the region, and many are frustrated by the poor returns. “It’s a bitter pill to swallow,” he said. “You just got to ... hope that Mother Nature cooperates next year.” Continued on A4

Two neighbours are questioning why a pair of convicted child sex offenders can live in a residential area, in the same home, and why police didn’t let them know directly. “How are we supposed to protect ourselves? ... It’s rather unsettling. You don’t know who’s in your neighbourhood,” said one woman, who did not want her name used. A male neighbour, who also did not want to be identified, said he was “in disbelief ” when he saw a swarm of officers arrest Goddard, who was recognizable due to previous publicity. The man was even more shocked when he saw Bakker

If not, they can be arrested for breach, as was the situation with Goddard. He said police will not reveal the exact address of the home, due to privacy laws and concerns about vigilante violence. Meanwhile, the two neighbours said they are concerned about the safety of children in the neighbourhood and other impacts. “I’m sure our properties are devalued. It’s no longer a family neighbourhood when you have sex offenders living there,” said the man.
Pair of sex offenders resided in same house JEFFREY GODDARD Jeffrey Goddard, 22, was let out of prison in February on statutory release after having served two-thirds of a 20-month sentence for charges related to his posing online as various personas – including a police officer, a teenage girl and a TV producer – to lure eight youths, GODDARD ages 12 to 16.
He was re-arrested on Aug. 10 for four counts of breaching his probation after allegedly again posing online – this time as “Ryan Martin Stewart,” the supervisor of a landscaping company. He remains in custody. DONALD BAKKER Donald Michel Bakker, 46, served a 10-year sentence for sexually assaulting seven girls in Cambodia between the ages of seven and 14, as well as Vancouver sex-trade workers. Bakker was released from prison in May and
turned himself in to Penticton RCMP when he couldn’t find a place to live, which was a violation of his release conditions. He moved to Abbotsford at the beginning of this month. Police revealed that he would be living in an area bordered by George Ferguson Way, Old Yale Road, Sumas Way/Highway 11, and BAKKER Gladys Avenue.
Hoping for a record 2014 run From A1
It was an exceedingly tough year for the sport fishing retail and guiding industry, starting with the challenges of high water over a prolonged wet and cold spring, and early predictions for poor Fraser sockeye returns. “You always hope somewhere deep down they’re going to be wrong. The estimates aren’t an exact science,” said Helmer. One of the issues in the summer run is that stocks of concern, like the dwindling Cultus Lake sockeye, are intermingled with other stocks coming through the system. “I think at this point there’s an attitude of resignation out there now among recreational anglers,” said Rod Clapton of the B.C. Federation of Drift Fishers. DFO is still expecting a few more sockeye to come up the river but it won’t likely change anything, and no one is expecting a recreational opening. “Whenever the late summers show up, it shuts down the fishing, so it’s not looking too positive for this season,” Clapton said. The big hope is for the year after next, when a record run is set to come back on its four-year cycle.

DFO officials are not expecting things to change much for the rest of this season, but they’ll continue to monitor daily test fishing catches. Aboriginal fisheries on the Fraser have taken a total of 288,050 fish to date, according to the PSC. That is for all of the First Nations communities to share on the Fraser. “The thing is it’s either feast or famine in the aboriginal food fishery,” said Ernie Crey, fisheries advisor to the Sto:lo Tribal Council. “The DFO can try to spin this season saying it’s marginally better than four years ago, but there were fewer taken this year. The abundance or dearth of fish stocks depends on migrating patterns and conditions, which vary wildly from year to year. Impoverished First Nations communities along the Fraser watershed will have to work “really hard” with DFO officials, as well as commercial fishermen, conservation and sport fishing groups to restore these runs, he said. “Only when the spawning beds are reseeded and the strength of runs restored will the aboriginal priority to fish truly be respected.”

Abbotsford’s blueberry growers are “unlikely� to support a plan to alter regulations pertaining to propane cannons. Debbie Etsell, executive director of the BC Blueberry Council, said growers “would not be happy with that at all,� if Coun. John Smith’s suggestions become a reality. Last week, the Abbotsford councillor made it known he’ll bring a motion forward to create a new bylaw governing the use of cannons, which are fired to scare birds away from crops. Currently, the ministry of agriculture sets the guidelines.
Smith would like to see the starting time for cannons moved from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m., and the evening deadline moved from 8 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Cannons are already shut off for an afternoon break between noon and 3 p.m. but he’d also like to see them stopped on statutory holidays and from noon Saturdays to 7 a.m. Mondays. He would also like to see cannon setbacks extended from the current guideline of 200 metres to 300. And, he is suggesting tougher fines for non-compliance – $1,000 for the first offence and $2,000 thereafter. However, Etsell said the current guidelines don’t need to

Each team will play four games (two home and two away) and there will be a onegame championship final. The Angels’ second home game is Sept. 29 against Toronto. With only two days to go before kickoff, the players are getting a little anxious. “Oh no, we’re not excited at all,” joked a pumped-up Jeanette Jackson. A Port Moody resident, Jackson plays the tight end position, and is also on the defensive line for the Angels. “It’s going to be a great ride. We are up to the challenge.” An avid flag football player for the past three years, Jackson knew she had to try out for the fledgling league. She said it was an opportunity to play something more “competitive and aggressive.” While wearing
skimpy uniforms on the field has created some controversy, Jackson said for the players and coaches, it’s all about the game. She said practices consist of conditioning, footwork, basic football skills, running patterns – the same
exercises any football squad would do. “It’s a fast game and everybody has to be focused.” She said the the sport is hard-hitting, and the uniforms do provide some level of protection. “I think it’s adequate to the minimum degree, but I think the philosophy on our team is, ‘If you can catch us, then you can tackle us.’ ” She said the helmets and pads are “pretty good” and players do wear knee and elbow protection.

Neither team in the opening game has played before, so no scouting reports are available. She’s expecting a large crowd Saturday and feels it will be a mix of fans, some coming to see the girls, others to watch football. “Once they see us start playing then I

QUESTION
Airshow noise
OF THE WEEK
Should the addresses of sex offenders be made public even if they’ve served their sentences?
The Abbotsford Airshow is one of the largest and most well-attended airshows in the country. It is a major feather in the cap for a city that is woefully short of them. I guess you should have researched the area before you bought your house next to an airstrip. My advice – move, or invest in noise cancelling headphones for the few days a year that the show runs. Mike Dixon
To answer, go to abbynews.com
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Do you feel an independent review of Abbotsford’s water issues is required?
When you chose to live by an airport were you expecting solitude and tranquility? Jason Ennis I wonder if you’ve given any thought or care towards the many of us who have grown up at the airshow and make airshow weekend a family tradition. In my mind, good quality, clean family fun on a grand scale of thousands far outweighs a few hours/ days of lost sleep. Amanda Leigh

Time for investment in forests Tom
Fletcher
B.C. Views The B.C. government’s emergency committee on timber supply has produced its report, but it leaves many of the big questions unanswered. Can the Burns Lake sawmill, destroyed by fire last winter, be given enough timber to rebuild? It’s likely, committee members concluded, if areas that are currently considered “marginally economic” are harvested. With nearly half the pine in that region dead from beetle infestation, and much of the better timber already cut, that means harvesting areas that would produce only about two-thirds of the volume that is currently considered economical to log. Will eight more sawmills have to close once the beetle-killed timber becomes too degraded to cut in the next few years? Committee members hold out hope that extending the cut to less economic timber stands can reduce this impact as well. But
with the current cut far above historical levels to maximize beetle-kill harvest, some industry contraction seems inevitable. All this depends on adequate forest inventory and investment in replanting, fertilizing and provision of additional roads and power lines that would allow access to timber and potential bioenergy development. And that is where the political fight lies ahead. The timber supply committee delivered a unanimous report, despite the harsh divisions between the B.C. Liberal and NDP members who serve on it. NDP forest critic Norm Macdonald, vice chair of the committee, agreed it did good work during the seven months it has toured affected areas of the B.C. Interior. But he said the roots of the problem go back a decade, to when the B.C. Liberals started reducing support for forest health just as the beetle epidemic was spreading. Ten years ago the government removed the obligation for the province to reforest areas affected by disease and fire. This was not only at the peak of the epidemic, it was one year before devastating wildfires raced through the Interior in the summer of 2003. “In 2002, the government removed its
obligation to replant those areas, and cut the budget by 90 per cent,” Macdonald told me. “The three-year budget that’s in front of us is keeping on the downward slide, and it’s not what people in communities are saying is the answer. So that has to change.”
With the current cut far above historic levels to maximize beetle-kill harvest, some industry contraction seems inevitable. The opposition, the auditor general and various forest experts have been blasting the government for the degraded state of the timber inventory, at a time when environmental changes have been sweeping. Steve Thomson, minister of the newly amalgamated forests, lands and natural resource operations ministry, points to the urgent efforts to upgrade the government’s
detailed picture of the state of the forests, so it can consider new cutting, planting and fertilizing efforts. But there’s no denying that he came to the job in a crisis that will take more spending in the future, and he will have a hard time finding it as Finance Minister Kevin Falcon looks to balance the books for the 2013 election. If nothing else, the pine beetle epidemic has forced the B.C. government to consider some of the intensive forest management that we hear about in Scandinavia, one of those places that supplies B.C. with wood furniture. And it has prompted renewed interest in offering new forest tenures to aboriginal communities with unresolved resource claims. Under current law, the government can only award new forest tenures to aboriginal communities. So part of the committee’s proposed solution is to “expedite negotiations” with the Burns Lake First Nations to give them a chance to harvest some of the marginally economic forest areas that remain.

Kudos to Hydro
I take exception to letter-writer Linda Ewart’s interpretation of the installation of Smart meters, as cited in the Aug. 9 News. B.C. Hydro has just over 1.8 million customers throughout 92 per cent of the province. Three per cent of their customer base is 54,000, which is a number that should not be ignored, and is not by the corporation as they have undertaken an outstanding customer relations program to reduce the fears that benignly ignorant customers have had about the new meters. While Ewart cites 200,000 B.C. residents having complained to the corporation that they do not want the highly effective Smart meters, most of them have had their concerns addressed and are no longer upset with the fabricated lies put forward by a few zealots who know nothing about this type of metering. The meter on your home belongs to B.C. Hydro, which has legislative power to have the meter read and to change the meter as it sees fit. The corporation does not need the property owner’s permission to enter onto the property nor to change the
meter. But they are being good corporate citizens by embarking on a sound communications program to inform customers of their rationale for the change – to save energy and to save customers money. A letter posted on the outside wall of your home advising a B.C. Hydro employee of your concerns has no legal weight whatsoever. The corporation has no legal compulsion, nor moral for that matter, to accede to your request. The installation of Smart meters ‘in toto’ is the most effective way for the corporation to gain a better handle on energy usage as we have had a provincial government which has not listened to the corporation and we may well find ourselves importing energy from Alberta or the United States, as we have had to do nearly a decade ago. Ewart must learn, by reading appropriate legislation, that B.C. Hydro can install a Smart meter as it sees fit – and kudos for the corporation for doing so. G.E. MacDonell

letters Move away from airport A letter in response to Robin Wintemute about discontinuing the airshow: As a resident of 20 years, who lives at the end of the runway, I think you should move away if you’re discomforted for three afternoons out of a year. I get more noise daily from semi trucks and pollution every day from these than I do from the airshow. Besides, it’s one of the funnest things Abby has going for it as a city. It also brings in great revenue. Matt Miner
Exorbitant wages Re: Exorbitant municipal wages and pensions. Who is responsible for them? We, the taxpayers. Last election, almost the entire “old gang” of councillors were voted back in. By whom? By us, the Abbotsford taxpayers. Come next election, let’s only vote for candidates who give a public promise to have the golden parachute pensions rescinded. Make pensions and wages commensurate with pension contributions, dollar for dollar, and only for the time the officials served in office, not a lifelong pension for a mere four, six or more years in office.

Personalize education
As a high school student I do a good amount of homework on a daily basis, and sometimes when I am doing this homework I wonder why in the world I would need to learn some of the material we are required to learn. Like in my case, I want to be in the sports medicine field after high school, and when I do math homework I wonder when, (if ever) I’ll need to know how to graph a parabola or know how to analyze a Shakespearean play. Chances
are I won’t see a parabola ever again. So why do we bother forcing students through these classes? I’m sure you could bring up the argument that we aren’t forcing students to take the courses, but most post-secondary schools require such courses. Another argument is that these courses force students to problem solve and that’s what they are used for, but my defence to that is how come
we aren’t marked based on our problem solving? I am not saying take out all the hard courses and make school easy – my message is making education slightly more personalized. If I wasn’t required to take math, socials and English, and there were more courses that involved things that I was interested in and cared about, I would be better prepared for my life after high school.

Metro urges B.C. to take time on carbon tax review Jeff NAGEL Black Press
Metro Vancouver politicians want the province to take more time to consider the future of B.C.’s four-year-old carbon tax and not rush to either reject further increases or axe the tax altogether. The province is reviewing the tax and the regional board voted to call for an extra 90 days of public comment beyond the current Aug. 31 deadline. “We don’t want to go backwards on the carbon tax,� Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said. “At this point, losing it would be a lot more problematic than the alternative.� An extension would give Metro and its member cities more time to consider the issue and formulate positions on how
the tax should be improved in the years ahead. The board is also reminding Victoria that it is already on record supporting the carbon tax – Metro’s Integrated Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Management Plan endorses continued increases in the tax. A Metro report says the carbon tax helps minimize the region’s contribution to climate change and supports a shift to transportation alternatives by making single-occupancy vehicle travel more expensive. But Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin, vice-chair of Metro’s environment committee, said she doesn’t support further carbon tax hikes. “We’re getting taxed to death here on gas,� she said. “Leave it where it’s at and go from there. Is it doing any good? We don’t

know. To keep increasing it doesn’t make any sense in my mind, given the gas taxes we pay to TransLink.� B.C. is the only jurisdiction in North America that puts a price on carbon emissions through a carbon tax, which has been steadily raised since 2008. On July 1 it climbed to $30 per tonne of greenhouse gases emitted, or 7.2 cents per litre of gasoline and $1.50 per gigajoule of natural gas. The province’s review is gathering public input on the tax ahead of the government’s 2013 budget deliberations. Options under consideration are whether the tax should go up further, be frozen or cut – and whether any further increases should go to other initiatives. The carbon tax raises $300 million a year in Metro.

Opening performers announced The U.S.-based rock band Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real will perform in Abbotsford on Sept. 28. The group will be the opening act for John Fogerty and will be presenting songs from its critically acclaimed album Wasted. The band has earned praise after years of honing its sound through doing it, as they say, the old-fashioned way by touring constantly and bonding as a band live first. “This record turned out how it did because we just really gelled as a band more by playing live so much,” says drummer Anthony LoGerfo.

into an imaginary world – the world of Quidam – where she meets characters who encourage her to free her soul. The term quidam means a nameless passerby, a solitary figure lingering on a street
corner, a person rushing past and swallowed by the crowd. It could be anyone, anybody; someone coming or going at the heart of an anonymous society; a member of the crowd, one of the silent majority; the one who cries
out, sings and dreams within us all. Quidam runs from Aug. 29 to Sept. 2 with both matinee and evening performances. For more information or to order tickets, visit abbotsfordcentre.ca.

Outstanding Reading club gets ‘strange’ Kids learn unusual and fun food facts The Old Spaghetti Factory joined forces with the Fraser Valley Regional Library Summer Reading Club’s “Strange But True” theme by presenting a Weird Food program. Jason Mar, manager of the restaurant, along with an assistant, talked about strange food facts, including that popcorn is food that is inside out. Putting Mentos in diet Coke created “oohs” and “aahs” from the kids who enjoyed learning the science behind why

The process caused many horrified “eeewwwws” from the kids. On a little propane stove, two children helped prepare the chowder, with slugs and all. At the end, Mar explained that slugs are really snails without a shell and what he was using in the recipe are just escargots.
Staff from the Old Spaghetti Factory entertain kids during a summer reading club event. putting the two foods together creates a geyser. But the piece de

The campaign was created to raise awareness and funds for at-risk kids in Canada.

very risky to take your canine friend in your vehicle. The temperature inside a parked car at this time of year, even one that’s in the shade, can climb well above

Q Have the number of a veterinarian on hand so that you are prepared in case of an emergency. “If you see a dog in a car on a hot day that you believe may be in trouble, call your local SPCA, animal shelter, or police immediately,” advises Shawn Eccles, BC SPCA chief animal protection officer. To avoid potential disaster, know the signs of heatstroke in pets: exaggerated panting (or the sudden stopping of panting), rapid or erratic pulse, salivation, weakness and muscle tremors, lack of coordination, convulsions or vomiting and collapse.

Dogs can withstand high temperatures for only a short time before suffering irreparable brain damage or even death. “Dogs can die after just 10 minutes in a hot car,” says Craig Naherniak, BC SPCA humane education general manager. Naherniak recommends the following tips for keeping your dog safe: Q Don’t leave your pet in the car. Q Use caution when running, cycling or rollerblading with your pet, as these activities pose serious risks of heatstroke, accidents, and anxiety experienced by the animal. If you run or cycle with your dog, choose cooler times of day such as early morning or late evening and take plenty of breaks. Also, run on soft trails rather than on cement and

Allergies are a modern epidemic I used Bell Allergy Relief #24 for 2 years. I tried numerous other remedies all my life that were not effective. Since I discovered #24 I do not have a stuffy nose and itchy eyes when pollen season comes around. No problem working with hardwoods or O.S.B. sheeting. I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB Last 4 years in spring I had allergy attacks with runny nose, sore throat and headaches. Just 2 capsules Bell Allergy Relief #24 brought relief. Belinda Wilfong, 41, Hillsboro, MO For 20 years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On 3rd day all allergies were gone. #24 It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH Golfing without allergy attacks I It really works! 100% tried all the medications and none worked. After taking 1 capsule in the morning I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX God bless you natural. Try it risk free. I went from doctor to doctor for years with allergy sinus problems. The medications made me still sicker. After starting Bell Allergy Relief one capsule at night I felt like born again the next morning. Therese Noto, 58, New York, NY. No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech.

Bell Carpal Tunnel Syndrome #30 gave quick relief within an hour. I was hand milking cows and began having weakness, numbness and pain shooting up my arms. Pain increased at night. My doctor suggested surgery as the only option. Not true! The pain and numbness are all gone after taking #30. I can do now whatever activity I want. Marjorie Wilson, 55, Dubuc, SK I’m a car mechanic. Holding tools was getting increasingly difficult because of wrist and tendon pain. After 2 weeks on #30 I’m fully productive again. Cancelled scheduled surgery. William Marrero, 56, Miami, FL I was wearing wrist braces. A woman saw it and told me she had relief right away with #30. I got some same day. It worked for me as well. Thanks a million. Diane Frank, 49, North Battleford, SK I’m a nurse and work with my hands all day. I experienced increasing pain in my hands and fingers. Surgery was the only option I was told. My husband found #30 for me. I have no more pain or inflammation since. You have a life long customer. Nina Wallace, 52, Dacula, GA No need to make claims.

Bladder & Yeast Infection
#31
Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 works within a day or two! My experience in the last 4 years is that whenever I feel symptoms of an infections I take two capsules for a day or two and the infection is gone. I love this product. Pat Pearce, 53, Brantford, ON 30 years of bladder infections gone! For 30 years my doctor prescribed antibiotics. As soon as the medication finished the next bladder infection came back. After 2 days taking Bell # 31 I noticed a complete relief of my infection I had all these 30 years. God bless you all for helping all of us women. Emell Whitaker, 69, Bronx, NY Bladder infections kept on coming back. Since starting Bell Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 my infection was gone and I now take it from time to time for prevention and I have no more bladder or yeast infections. I told family and friends how good Bell products are. Thank you! Maria Racz, 60, Vancouver, BC Went to the bathroom 10 times in an hour and more frequently at night!. In the last 2 years I went a number of times to the doctor and got different antibiotics and none of them worked. My urination would burn enormously. I bought your Bell Bladder & Yeast infection #31. I can now work all day or sleep all night without getting up to go to the bathroom. I am not afraid anymore to drink water when I am thirsty. Praise the Lord! Thank you!

Students off to Ecuador
The difference between a job and a career
Toucans, monkeys, and macaws will be the typical wildlife for a group of biology students heading to South America with the University of the Fraser Valley. The students will be spending two weeks in Ecuador’s jungles, collecting information, analyzing data, and absorbing the country’s diversity. The trip is an opportunity for the 17 students to develop their expertise with hands-on research. “They’ll be developing strong leadership

and work skills, at the same time as getting a real taste of biology,” said UFV biology instructor Debbie Wheeler, who is co-ordinating the trip with fellow biology professor, Gregory Schmaltz. “And they’re getting that experience in Ecuador — one of the most biodiverse countries in the world,” added Schmaltz. Accompanied by eight UFV faculty members, the students’ time will be divided between the Cloud Forest and the

spent in the mountains at the Cloud Forest. Each morning, students will be up at dawn to conduct field work as the afternoon tends to bring rain and fog. The rest of their days will allow the chance to review notes, camera footage, and discuss findings. Split into five groups, the students are collecting information for their research projects, which they decided upon this summer. One group is focusing on hummingbirds — exploring where they are most commonly found in the rainforest, and at what height they like to feed. Another group will be examining the hygienic behaviour of ants, and how a colony reacts when a dead ant is placed in its path. Fourth-year biology student Mathew Knott can’t wait to start his ant research. “I’ve always enjoyed the creepy crawlies,” said Knott. “This is a great opportunity to travel and do our own research project. I’m looking forward to getting some calculable results from the research.” The second week will see the students in a different ecosystem. The Amazon Basin Rain Forest is packed with different types of vegetation — lots of tall and straight trees, and a dense canopy. It’s also humid and mosquito-infested. This fully studentfunded program covers two full courses, providing students with eight credits. Students will be writing papers based on the comparison of the ecosystems they’re seeing.

UFV collaborating with NASA
Working with NASA is a dream for most scientists. And it’s something a group of University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) students were able to experience during a
recent research trip to south central B.C. The group spent two days at Kelly Lake, near Clinton, in late July, collecting data to learn more about the lake’s history.
The lake is of interest to NASA as it contains unique rock formations called microbialites, which are considered to be rare carbonate rock structures formed by mi-
croorganisms. The four students associated with UFV were joined by UFV Geography instructor Olav Lian, and two students linked with NASA Ames

Research Center. With the help of University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) Geography instructor Brian Menounos, and his master’s student, the group used a boat and special equipment to carry out their research. The expedition’s purpose was to core the lake’s bottom to collect sediment that has accumulated over time. NASA’s Darlene Lim explained the coring process as similar to putting a straw in a glass of coke, capping the top, and then bringing the straw upwards. “The coke that’s trapped in the straw is essentially your sample,” she said, adding that in the lake’s case, the sample at the bottom is the oldest, and the top is the youngest. “So to understand the history of this aquatic system, you can tap into that sediment as a record, or historical book, of what’s happened to this environment over long periods of time,” said Lim. “That’s essentially what we’re interested in — that history of accumulation, and what’s happened surrounding the lake, and also within the lake, over long periods.” While NASA has been working in the Kelly Lake area since 2004 with the Pavilion Lake Research Project, learning more about the microbialites, Lian has been conducting geology research in the area for nearly 20 years. The collaboration is important to NASA in determining the region’s history, which they believe will assist them in understanding more about the formations, such as how they’re created and why they are here. Another key aspect in the collaboration is involving the students. “We always try to bring as many students with us as we can,” said Lian. “We’re not the type of scientists that like to work in isolation — mentorship of students is incredibly important to us.” For more information, visit the UFV blog at ufvtoday.ca.
Crocus is really a lily I write about these bulbs almost every summer because they are so easy to grow and are so important for fall colour and because August is the only time of year to plant these giant crocus that bloom in September. Fall blooming colchicums go by the name of Autumn Crocus, although they are not really a crocus at all. In fact, they belong to the lily family and are native to the Mediterranean region. Colchicum bulbs become huge and can, over time, produce 19 to 25 flowers, one right after the other, until they all open in a profusion of colour. A lady, who used to grow thousands in her backyard in Vancouver, told me it takes about two years for a small bulb to grow into a huge specimen, at which point it splits into four smaller ones. Small bulbs will produce five to seven flowers; mid-sized bulbs will have about a dozen blooms. I have learned the hard way that these bulbs love a sunny, well-drained, yet moist location, with average soil. One year we planted them in several shady spots, only to have them gradually deteriorate to the point of no return. You can leave them in the ground to naturalize, if that is the effect you wish to have. A single corm of a large colchicum hybrid can easily multiply to cover nearly 900 square centimetres of garden. Just imagine what a few well-placed groupings throughout your garden can do. It is best to plant them about 10cm deep and about 15 to 20cm apart. They need some room, not only to multiply, but also for the huge foliage which will develop the following spring. These fascinating bulbs can actually bloom indoors simply by leaving them sitting on a windowsill. It’s best to put them in a saucer on about two inches of gravel. The flowers won’t last quite as long, nor will they have the same intense colour, but they will bloom and can still be planted
outside to grow on for next year. Each year in late April, just as the tulips are nicely in flower, huge masses of strap-like leaves appear and grow to about one foot in height.

Grewal’s grown into a star Cascades power forward aims to build on breakthrough season Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

WISE TIP #5
Water Wise Garden Contest Show us your garden! Send photos of your water wise garden to the City of Abbotsford’s Facebook* page and be entered to win water smart prizes including a rainwater harvesting system from Barr Plastics, gift certificate to Tanglebank Gardens and the installation of a smart controller from the IABC and Corix Water Products!
As the University of the Fraser Valley men's basketball team ramps up its preseason preparations, Kyle Grewal boasts a what-I-did-with-mysummer-vacation story to trump all others. The Cascades' 6'6" power forward spent a month with an Australian touring team in China, playing 12 games in 11 cities, including Beijing and Shanghai. "It was really cool," said Grewal, who landed a spot on the Aussie squad thanks to a recommendation from former UFV head coach Barnaby Craddock. "We saw a lot of the touristy things, like the Great Wall. "And after the games, they treated us like we were NBA superstars. They were coming up with cameras, taking photos, trying to get our jerseys from us. Our warm-up tops got stolen after one game – they just wanted something. It was like how I would have been at an NBA game as a young kid, just in awe. It was a humbling experience."
and reduce your water!
A simple way to improve your garden’s ability to retain water is by adding compost or mulch! A mulch layer of 2-3 inches significantly reduces water loss to evaporation in addition to protecting plants during winter, reducing weeds, and adding nutrients to the soil! Properly watering your landscape can result in significant water savings. To sign up for a free irrigation and landscape assessment call 604-864-5514.

Grewal's Chinese excursion figures to stand him in good stead as he prepares for his fifth and final season of eligibility with the Cascades. He's truly become a pillar of the program, his tenure on campus having spanned three head coaches. Grewal was recruited by Pat Lee out of Surrey's Enver Creek Secondary in 2006, and then stuck around through the Craddock era and now will play for Adam Friesen, who replaced Craddock after he was hired away by the University of Alberta in June. A pair of redshirt seasons extended his Cascades career – a broken wrist prior snuffed his rookie campaign (2006-07), and a torn ACL in his right knee sidelined him for the 2010-11 season. "To me, it's kind of funny," said the 24-year-old, who is set to graduate in the spring with a kinesiology major and a biology minor. "People make jokes about it – 'You've been here forever, what is this, your 20th year?' "I didn't want to have to redshirt those seasons, but honestly, it's

challenge of wanting to get better. "My first year here, for the first month or two, we never really dribbled or shot (at a hoop). We just did form shooting against the wall. He literally started right at the bare fundamentals of the game of basketball. He was humble enough to start there, and he built his game up. He didn't skip any steps." It's been an interesting off-season for the Cascades. With all five starters set to return, it looked like they'd be the Canada West favourites this year. But then Craddock departed, and stars Joel Friesen and Jasper Moedt elected to follow him to the Golden Bears. "It sucks, right?" Grewal acknowledged. "But at the end of the day, it is what it is. We've got a bit of a chip on our shoulder now. "I think people around the country are like, 'Oh, UFV might be done.' But I honestly believe we're stronger than last year. I'm a big fan of Adam. He's going to put everything he has into it, and we've got some great recruits." Indeed, new bench boss Friesen has acted quickly to fill the void left by the departed players. He's added four newcomers, including three from the Toronto area – point guard Aaron McGowan, wing Kevon Parchment and post Hudson Simon. Andy Khaira, a centre from Surrey, is also on board, joining a trio of Craddockrecruited rookies from the B.C. high school ranks – Manny Dulay (Tamanawis), DeSean Monsanto (Walnut Grove) and Luke Morris (Mission). The Cascades men's hoopsters begin the preseason on Saturday, as they host the Cal State Northridge Matadors, an NCAA Div. I program. Another NCAA squad, the Eastern Washington Eagles, visit on Sept. 10. Both games tip off at 7 p.m. at the Envision Athletic Centre. "We have so many new faces," Friesen noted. "It's a great opportunity for us to get out of the floor together, and just have fun and work hard."

Barkman takes first bite of international ball Pitcher to make debut with Canadian senior men’s team Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
JOHN MORROW
Abbotsford News
Tyson Barkman, pictured above in action with the Abbotsford Yard Dogs, has been named to the Canadian team for the Pan American Championship.
As confidencebuilding performances go, Tyson Barkman’s last start of the season with the Abbotsford Yard Dogs was a pretty good boost. In the Fraser Valley Men’s Fastball League final against Chilliwack’s Valley Dairy Slammers earlier this month, Barkman tossed a no-hitter. Mind you, it was only a five-inning game, ending early via the mercy rule after the Yard Dogs piled up 15 runs, but it was the definition of a dominant outing. “I threw one inside pitch where it tailed in on the batter and hit him, otherwise I would have had a perfect game,” Barkman noted with a chuckle. “It’s a nice feeling, because you know as a pitcher that your pitches are working.” The 25-year-old righthander wasn’t eligible to join the Yard Dogs at the Western Canadian Senior B Fastpitch Championships in Abbotsford last weekend, because he’s signed to play Senior A ball with the Scarborough (Ont.) Force. The Force are a tournament team, and Barkman’s summer schedule includes tourneys in
Ontario, Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Brunswick. The event he’s most excited about, though, is the Pan American Softball Championship, which runs Sept. 15-23 in Medellin, Colombia. Barkman has been named to Canada’s senior men’s squad for that event, and the top five teams advance to the International Softball Federation world championships in Auckland, New Zealand in March 2013. Barkman, who represented Canada at the Junior World Championships in 2005, was added to the Softball Canada’s senior men’s player pool in 2009. And while he’s been invited to several identification camps in Florida since then, the Pan Ams represent his first major international tournament at the senior level. “It means a lot,” Barkman said. “I think it’s going to be a great experience, playing for Canada.” The Mennonite Educational Institute grad likes Canada’s chances of earning a berth to the world championships. “I think we should be in the top three, for sure,” he said. “But there’ll be good competition.”

Traveling to a new place, it was pretty good, considering you have to get used to the time difference.� Grewal’s Royals teammate Alexandria Siemens also took part in the meet and finished eighth in the 800-metre run (2:19.03) and ninth in the 1500m (4:49.79).

Dec. 25, 1917 ~ Aug. 19, 2012
“Always on our minds…. Forever in our hearts” Edna Lundstrom of Abbotsford BC died peacefully in her sleep on Sunday, Aug. 19, 2012, at the age of 94 in her residence at the Menno Home in Abbotsford. Her partner and husband of over 50 years Robert “Bob” Lundstrom passed in 1996. Edna was predeceased by her parents George and DeEtta Croaker, her sisters Lucella and Dorothy, as well as brothers Henry and Ernie. The passing of her 2 daughters, Patricia Lundstrom, in her infancy, and Judith Olson in 2009, as well her granddaughter, Charlene Olivier, left a void that Edna lived with all her remaining years. Great Grandma “Edna” is survived by her sons and their families, Dale (West Vancouver), Gerry (Vernon), Dennis (Langley), and Bill (Chilliwack), her sister DeEtta (Vi) Smith of Abbotsford and brother, Wesley Croaker, of Enderby BC. “Great” leaves many nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren throughout BC. She was a long term resident of the Matsqui and Bradner area. Born in Vancouver in 1917 Edna came to live in Bradner with her family as a young girl. Her parents, George and DeEtta Croaker remained in the area for the balance of their lives. The Croaker family was well known and still has many roots in the area. Edna met her husband “Bob Lundstrom” in the early thirties, they married in Seattle in 1938. The two of them, along with other family members, operated the family farm on Harris Rd. for many years. Many old timers will remember the uniqueness of the operation, a go to place with a large machine shop and home of the Matsqui Airfield. It was only in later years that the farming became a bit too much to handle, Edna and Bob moved to Abbotsford to enjoy their retirement. They loved travelling in their motorhome, visiting family and friends whenever they could get away. Edna will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother and all around great friend by all who knew her. The staff at Menno Home commented many times on the talent Edna had for story telling. “Never a dull moment when Edna was around” was often said. Edna’s desire was that there be no public funeral and wished to be remembered by the many good times she had with all over the last 9 decades. A private family memorial service will be held at a later date.
