Teens come forward after hit-and-run Woman suffers broken legs after being struck by truck in egging incident
Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
Three youths have turned themselves over to Abbotsford Police for their part in a hitand-run incident. The incident occurred at 1 a.m. on Saturday morning, at the intersection of George Ferguson Way and Gladwin Road. Prior to the collision, three teenaged friends – two young men and a woman – were seated
at a bus stop bench when a white pickup truck with silver rims approached their position eastbound on George Ferguson Way. The pickup truck slowed and the occupants began throwing eggs at the teenagers. The 17-year-old female walked toward the truck to determine why the driver and passengers were doing this. The girl was run over when the truck accelerated. The vehicle continued despite the impact and injury to
the victim. The girl was transported to hospital and received treatment for fractures to both legs. Const. Ian MacDonald said the young woman is now recovering from her injuries. “She’s got at least three fractures to her legs so it’s probably going to be a long recovery, and of course, there will be an emotional component to it as well.”

victim of home invasion
Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
A special prosecutor has been appointed by the Criminal Justice Branch of the Ministry of Justice to oversee a home invasion case in Abbotsford. The victim in the case is the son of an MLA. Ryan Plecas, son of new Abbotsford South MLA, and Secretary to the Justice Minister, Darryl Plecas, was at home on July 20 when the incident occurred. At about 11 p.m. the 25-year-old Plecas opened the door to his apartment in the 3100 block of Gladwin Road when three masked suspects brandishing firearms pushed their way in and demanded that he turn over cash and guns from a safe inside the suite. He complied with the request and then leaped from his second-storey balcony to escape. Police were called after witnesses saw Plecas jump. Four suspects – 19-year-old Samantha Patenaude, 23-year-old Jakob Mosterd, 31-year-old Dylan Majorel and 28-year-old Armand Belisle – have been arrested and charged by Abbotsford Police. All are charged with robbery, break and enter and the use of a firearm in the commission of an offence. MLA Darryl Plecas declined to comment on the case, noting it was going to go before the courts. The decision to call in a special prosecutor was made to avoid the potential for any real or perceived conflict. Joseph Doyle, a senior Vancouver lawyer, was appointed on July 23 to examine the case. His mandate is to: T Conduct an independent charge assessment review of the existing charges and the investigative report prepared by the Abbotsford Police Department and making the charging decision he considers appropriate; T Offer such legal advice to police as is necessary in the event that further investigation by them is required; T Provide a written report to the Assistant Deputy Attorney General with the result of his review; and if he concludes that continuation of a prosecution is warranted, conducting the prosecution and any subsequent appeals.

known as of Monday afternoon. He said the blaze, which gutted much of the residence, was a difficult one to battle. “(It was an) extremely hard fire to fight simply because it advanced a fair amount before we got there, and also this house has been remodelled several times so there’s all kind of void spaces.” Rivett said two firefighters were treated on the scene for minor injuries – one involving a hand and the other a shoulder. Rivett said the family did not have insurance and lost most of their belongings. Emergency Social Services was on the scene, assisting the family with accommodation, food and other urgent needs.

Lawsuits may be It’s Playtime! filed in response to manure incident Pivot Legal Society has met with homeless residents to discuss filing claims
Abbotsford News
Homeless residents of Abbotsford may pursue legal action against the city and Abbotsford police, after a series of incidents seemingly targeting the homeless. DJ Larkin, a lawyer from Pivot Legal Society, has met with representatives of 5 and 2 Ministries and members of Abbotsford’s homeless population to discuss the possibility of civil claims and a human rights complaint against the city and police. “That would be for chicken manure, the alleged tent slashing, throwing out people’s property, destroying memorabilia, family photos, that kind of thing.” Larkin said Pivot has agreed to take on homeless clients as individuals to file claims for property damage against the city and police. On June 4, city workers dumped chicken manure on a known gathering spot for homeless residents on Gladys Avenue. Following the incident, the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) launched an investigation into allegations that its officers damaged the tents of homeless people and used pepper spray in areas where those tents were placed. The allegations were relayed by representatives of 5 and 2 Ministries at a meeting of the Abbotsford Social Development Advisory Committee in June. At that time, Const. Ian MacDonald said that because APD respected the work of the 5 and 2, they would look into the allegations. Larkin said about 10 people have expressed interest in filing claims, though she is unsure how many will go through and against whom. “It depends on the individuals’ cases, each individual will be in a bit of a different circumstance.” At this point no claims have been filed, though Larkin said she hopes to have a few filed in the next couple of weeks.
“In terms of the small claims, it actually is financial reparations. People had all of their belongings destroyed, some people anyway, and they should be compensated properly for that.” Larkin said Pivot has also been asked to contemplate filing a human rights complaint against the city and police for harassment and discrimination of the homeless. “There we would be looking for a more systemic change. We’d be alleging discrimination against homeless people in Abbotsford and just asking the tribunal to consider that and make a finding that these people need to be respected.” Ward Draper, a pastor with 5 and 2 Ministries, said they are working with Pivot and Abbotsford’s homeless residents to “find ways to protect the rights of people who are living on the streets throughout the Lower Mainland and the rest of B.C.” He hopes any action taken will help bring the city to a greater level of accountability when dealing with homeless citizens. Larkin said following the manure incident, and allegations against police, Abbotsford has hit a “crisis point.” “It’s really hard for someone who is homeless or in precarious housing to come forward and ask for compensation from the city or police, or to try and defend their rights, as they are vulnerable.” Larkin said they want the city and police to sit down with organizations that assist the homeless, and the individual homeless residents that are affected, and “make some really, really serious promises that they are going to enact policies that respect and support the homeless people in Abbotsford.” Larkin said the human rights complaint wouldn’t be filed for a few months, and it would take some time after that for the BC Human Rights Tribunal to process.

Summer holiday hazards
Summer seems to be the season of senseless accidents. A child falls from a window left open to capture a cooling breeze. A swimmer dives into a shallow pool of water and never resurfaces, and, of course, countless long weekend traffic accidents are all tragedies that seem to happen year after year. And they especially resonate because they often involve people taking part in activities we’re all pursuing in the halcyon days of summer. Enjoying the outdoors. Being active. Getting away. Staying cool. But just because we’re slowing down to enjoy the season doesn’t mean we can let down our guard. Traffic may be diminished but it’s still dangerous. The water at the swimming hole may be inviting and refreshing but dangers lurk beneath the surface. Beers on the back deck or campsite are just as intoxicating as those consumed in
the pub on a Friday night. Of course, more people are out and about, enjoying the sunshine and warm temperatures, so the odds are more accidents are likely to occur. But the zeal to get out, to maximize our enjoyment of these months before the winter rains and chill settle in again sometimes lead to lapses in judgment. Seemingly inconsequential acts like leaving a window open, rolling a stop sign, not looking both ways before crossing a street, ignoring a prominently placed warning notice, can come with huge consequences — sometimes even fatal ones. British Columbians love the outdoors, partly because there’s so much of it at our doorstep and it’s so beautiful, partly because we spend so much of the year seeking shelter from it when rain and snow fall from the sky. Just remember to be careful out there. – The Burnaby NewsLeader
A troublesome take on Beautiful B.C. Andrew
Holota
On Point He was lying on his stomach, in the middle of a logging bridge, pointing a rifle across the gravel road. Afghanistan? Somalia? No, Stave Lake, north of Mission. It was like the scene was scripted. In fact, my passenger looked at me incredulously and asked, “Did you set that up?” Most definitely not, but it was a live illustration of why we were there. My guest was Jennifer Kinneman, the new manager of civic engagement and corporate initiatives for the District of Mission. During a recent meeting with Mission Mayor Ted Adlem, as part of my expanded editor responsibilities, the conversation turned to that city’s proposed ban on discharging of firearms within municipal boundaries. The potential legislation stems from longstanding problems at and around Stave Lake, which has become ground zero for a legion
of party animals who go there to camp, drive 4x4s, ATVs and motorbikes, drink, fire guns, and drink some more. As Ted said, one of these days, someone is going to get hit by a stray bullet. Of course, there is opposition to a full shooting ban, particularly from hunters, who are not the problem. Responsible hunters and recreational shooters don’t indiscriminately blast away in the bush or over water. However, some of the yahoos who frequent Stave Lake do precisely that. It’s not a good scene for folks and families going to the area for some peace and quiet in the outdoors. Hence, the tour of the troublespot. The first observation was the road signs. Virtually all of them sport at least a few bullet holes. Some have been utterly peppered with rifle and shotgun rounds. I guess it’s easier than setting up your own targets. Of course, where the bullet ends up after passing through a thin sheet of metal is another story. One of these days… A dozen or so kilometres down the gravel
road come the impromptu campsites that people have established along a creek, and further along, the mud flats favoured by the yee-hah crowd. They were under water, as Stave is a reservoir and the water is high in the summer months. But when those sand bars dry out, bring on the motorized mayhem. Sometimes the whole area is under a dome of dust, as vehicles roar around in circles in the dirt. Who would actually want to camp in that is beyond me, but my wife and I have seen it as we paddle past into the main lake, which can only be reached by boat. It’s one of our favourite paddling destinations. The scenery is stunning, and there’s serenity to be had beyond Boomtown. But back to the tour. After noting the proliferation of broken camp chairs (drunk people don’t do well in cheap fold-out seats), and observing at least three wrecked tents, and countless piles of garbage, we moved along. And then around a bend was our token target-shooter, splayed out in the middle of a

bridge over a creek, plinking away at a poster he and a buddy put up on the opposite side of the road. He jumped up with his gun, and with a somewhat startled expression on his face, watched us drive by. His buddy was wearing a large beach towel like a cape. Quite the pair... Up the ridge road we went, hoping to come out to a view of Mount Robbie Reed. However, at least five or more kilometres up the hill we came upon two women in their early 20s, clad only in tank tops, shorts, and flip-flops. Their two dogs splashed through a muddy creek in front of them as they waved us down. Seems their car broke down a short distance ahead. The tire was poking sideways out of the wheel well. Their Chrysler was clearly ill-conditioned for bumpy logging roads. There’s no cellphone reception up there, so had we not happened along, the ladies would have been in for a long, long walk. Since it was the end of our drive anyway, as their car blocked the road, we turned around and took them out to the dam where they could phone a boyfriend for help. Just another afternoon at Stave Lake. Surreal, but so indicative of how some people regard Beautiful B.C.

Housing project is needed
I’ve lived in Abbotsford for over 20 years and have worked with numerous boards and organizations that serve the less fortunate; I have seen the heart that this community has. However, the recent vocal opposition to the proposed apartment housing facility for homeless men in Abbotsford has really surprised me. Sadly, much of the information being spread around is incorrect (e.g. There will not be a needle exchange in the facility - contrary to the petition that is currently in a number of the businesses in the downtown core) so residents are making decisions without facts. A b b o t s f o r d Community Services must surely be blindsided by the ferociousness of business backlash in the face of this project. This project is long overdue - we have a homeless problem in this community - it’s time people took their
Capturing the spirit I would like to complement Dan Kinvig for the excellent article he presented in the July 11 edition of the Abby News titled “When we were invincible�. The article did a beautiful job of capturing the spirit of a wonderful memory for those of us who were fortunate enough to have been part of it. Those who supported our team effort have indicated that they were moved to tears as they relived the event so wonderfully presented by Dan.  Please thank Dan Kinvig and John Morrow for a job well done. They do your newspaper and the community proud. Well done. Jim Falk, Abbotsford NOW OPEN SUNDAYS NOON - 4PM

heads out of the sand to deal with it. Studies have clearly shown that once a vulnerable person has safe housing they are able to get better sleep, their health improves, they eat better and they make positive changes in their lives. Aren’t those things just as vital to a homeless person as to those of us who have housing? Aren’t people who are homeless as valuable as everyone else? All residents of this facility must have a treatment plan in place before being accepted, there will no illegal drugs allowed on the premises, no guests will be allowed in the rooms – these conditions (and many others) will all help these men make positive changes in their lives. This housing project is needed. I urge citizens to get the facts and support it. Wendy McClelland Abbotsford

Pot campaign comes to Abby
AGRIFAIR STARTS FRIDAY AUGUST
Sensible BC director speaks about marijuana referendum Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
More than 50 people came out to hear Sensible BC director Dana Larsen speak at the Clearbrook Library on Wednesday. Larsen was in Abbotsford as part of a provincial tour to promote the marijuana referendum campaign. Sensible BC is a marijuana advocacy group that is working to decriminalize the simple possession of cannabis in B.C. through the Sensible Policing Act. “I think overall it went pretty well – it was a big crowd,” said Larsen after the event. He said he was surprised by the support. “People keep telling me, ‘Oh Abbotsford, they’re conservative, you aren’t going to find any supporters there,’ and it was a very strong turnout...” He said a majority of those who attended signed up to volunteer as canvassers. Elections BC has given approval in principle to the Sensible Policing Act, proposed by Larsen, which would disallow the use of B.C. police resources to prosecute possession of small amounts of pot by adults. Larsen’s campaign is not to legalize marijuana – although that is his ultimate goal – but rather to decriminalize simple possession. “There’s a limit to what B.C. can do as a province.” However, the legislation that Larson’s group has written also calls upon the federal government to “repeal marijuana prohibition so that B.C. can legalize it.” Larsen said the Sensible Policing Act is a first step to legalization. Sensible BC is working to register canvassers in every B.C. community before the signature-gathering period begins. “We have until Sept. 9 to get ready and we then have 90 days to collect 400,000 signatures that we need.” If canvassers can collect signatures

Like most 15-year-olds, Emily Krack, Susie Veenenan, Jessie Gibson and Kelly Harder like to talk to each other about their lives and experiences. The difference is, they broadcast their conversations on the Internet. The young women run a podcast called the RHSC – Real High School Convo – which they describe as “a podcast risen from the darkness of high school.” They use the show to talk about the video games they like, funny stories from their friends, fashion, or the day-to-day life of a high school student. “High school is not the best thing, but it’s not the worst,” said Krack, adding that it helps to joke around about it with friends. The girls met in a class at Yale Secondary School, and after spending Submitted a lot of time Emily Krack, Susie Veenenan, Jessie laughing, deGibson and Kelly Harder (not piccided to start tured) host a weekly podcast . their show in December. After months of getting off the ground, they released their first episode last month – which hit about 150 downloads – and have begun releasing episodes weekly. Krack said they’ve also found listenership around the world, with people in Australia, Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Germany downloading and tuning in. The group gathers at Krack’s home and record on a laptop around a single headset. Krack edits the podcast, and puts it online. But at the end of the day, it’s a fun way to spend time with her friends. The podcast can be downloaded on iTunes by searching RHSC.

Grammy award-winning
Jars of Clay
Abbotsford onlookers will be all ears as chart-topping, three-time Grammy award-winning Christian rock band Jars of Clay take the stage under the night sky at the Abbotsford Agrifair on Aug. 4. Bring your family, friends and blanket and find a spot in the stands or on the grass early. This concert is going to draw many! Inspired by musical artists such as Jimi Hendrix,
The Beatles, Sarah McLachlan, Brent Bourgeois, Toad the Wet Sprocket and Seal, the Jars of Clay sound is a blend of alternative rock, folk, acoustic and R&B that is enjoyed by both the secular world and Christian community. Lyrics based on the personal beliefs of the band members inspire without being overly laden with Biblical scripture. “This is big for the Agrifair,” says Pamela Brenner, Agrifair general manager. “We expect Agrifair grounds will be packed Sunday evening.” Don’t let this worry you. There is an opportunity to snag a priority entry to see this highly acclaimed band up close. Just show up at the free pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. Sunday. One thousand priority tickets are set to be dished out to hungry fans! The generosity of Agrifair’s major partners is what ultimately put Jars of Clay on the program. “We are extremely grateful to Columbia Kitchen Cabinets Ltd. and Fraserway RV for their very generous donation which has made this Jars of Clay concert possible,” said Brenner. Agrifair president, Ernie Silveri, added, Meyers Norris Penny, Clearway Car and Truck Rental, and Praise 106.5 also contributed. After the pancake breakfast, round the family up and attend church “cowboy, cowgirl or little wrangler” style with Jack Jackson at his evangelistic cowboy church service.
President’s message
WELCOME to the “the best little country fair!” On behalf of the Abbotsford Agrifair Board of Directors and staff, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to – WILD, WILD WEST! Agrifair is a long standing community tradition and we continue to be part of Abbotsford’s beautiful family summer activities. Thank you to the City of Abbotsford, BC Gaming, our sponsors and volunteers who help create this four-day event that bridges the gap between “urbanites” and “ruralites.” Agrifair’s board of director’s goal remains the same: to produce an event that surpasses the expectations and satisfies the
diverse interests of the public with affordable fun for the whole family! I extend a warm welcome to everyone in our community as well as across the province and country. With all the great shows, concerts and amazing attractions, it will be a great time had by all! Come all four days with our $15 all-weekend wristband, watch Valley Voices on Friday, Dallas Smith on Saturday, Jars of Clay on Sunday and demolition derby on Monday. Be sure not to miss The Mighty Fraser Rodeo (Friday, Saturday & Sunday), Lord Strathcona Mounted Troop, the West Coast Lumberjack Show, livestock shows and of course, the famous West Coast Amusement midway. A big thank you goes out to the City of Abbotsford for its strong and continuous support as well as all of you who attend the fair. Agrifair appreciates you and we are looking forward to celebrating our 103rd fair with you! Ernie Silveri, President, Abbotsford Agrifair

are welcomed for their National Jr. Shorthorn Show Friday and Saturday. The donkey and miniature horse in hand competitions will test the animals’ ability to maneuver through and over various obstacles. They will encounter bridges, tarps (simulated water obstacles) and tippy boards being judged on the animal’s willingness to go through the obstacles. Contestants in the hilarious Pig Scramble contest will each wear a t-shirt displaying a letter of the alphabet. A group of pigs, each displaying matching letters, will be released into the arena. The contestants must find the pig that matches their letter and try to catch it, and those pigs don’t want to be caught! They must be picked up and carried to the centre of the arena. Youngsters aged 10 and under will compete Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and local celebrities will compete on Monday. There will be lots of opportunities to learn at Agrilane. See common animal care and farming practices such as the sheep shearing demonstration (once daily), milking demonstrations (four times daily) and the horse shoeing demonstration (twice daily). Also, watch baby chicks hatch before your eyes inside an incubator in the poultry barn. You will also see many different varieties of chickens, ducks and geese, as well as a pigeon display. If you are excited to witness eggs turn to chicks, you will also want to check out the different stages of growth in the BC Poultry in Motion

Mighty Fraser Pro Rodeo
JJ Harrison, this year’s rodeo clown, is one of the world’s best, and was recently the official clown of the Wrangler National Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada. You will not want to miss the hilarious entertainment and promise of high-energy rodeo events, so be sure to find a seat in the grandstand early. Originally a public school teacher at Walla Walla in Washington State, this clown with a Masters degree is a kid magnet and a popular performer at many top rodeos. Come out with your kids, enjoy lots of laughs and cheer on your favourite cowboys and cowgirls. Whether you’re an old hat or trying out a new pair of cowboy boots, you’re bound to have fun. No rodeo would be complete without an enthusiastic, entertaining and professional rodeo announcer, and this year Agrifair is excited to bring on former professional cowboy, Al Parsons. With his extensive rodeo experience, knowledge of the sport and humour, Parsons will bring crowds to their feet. This year’s Mighty Fraser Pro Rodeo promises to be entertaining and exciting as gutsy cowboys fight to stay atop a raging bull or bucking bronc for eight seconds in the bull riding, saddle bronc and bareback riding events, and as fearless cowgirls race their steeds in a cloverleaf
pattern around barrels at top speed in the barrel racing competition. You will also see team roping, steer wrestling and calf roping. “This is a dual sanctioned event,” says Don Curtis, Mighty Fraser Rodeo committee chair. This means patrons can expect to see top professional cowboys and cowgirls from all over Canada and the United States competing for fast times, big scores and good prize money. “We’ve got the coolest show planned for Saturday,” said Curtis. An undisclosed, crowd wowing show is scheduled to take place during the rodeo and you’re not going to want to miss it! The only hint given is it will have something to do with Services on Safety and the police, fire and military. You’ve undoubtedly heard about the terrible flooding in High River, Alberta. People at Phantom Screens wanted to do their bit in helping to raise money for the folks who are cleaning up after the floods and trying to get back to normal. That’s why they have teamed up with Graham Wardle, star of CBC’s Heartland, to raise money for High River. Graham has kindly agreed to appear at the Abbotsford Agrifair to help generate much needed funds for the community. All proceeds will be deposited to the High
River Relief Fund (http://www.highriver. ca/index.php/en/publicforums/news-forum/news-flash/427-town-sets-up-emergency-relief-fund). So, if you’d like to meet Wardle, have your picture taken with him or get his autograph, then make sure you’re at the Agrifair on Saturday Aug. 3. Wardle will be there to meet all his fans from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the 4-H barn, and then again from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the entrance to the rodeo. And don’t forget to bring some cash to contribute to the
cause. You can find out details about the Agrifair www.agrifair.ca and read about Phantom Screen’s commitment to community involvement http://wp.me/p2OIz9-2y. Rodeo seating, thanks to the generosity of Phantom Screens, is included in the price of gate admission - $12/day adults, $10/day students or seniors or get your four-day weekend pass for only $15 per person and come every day. 10 and under are free. Parking is $5/day.

Hot BC-born country artist
Dallas Smith
Abbotsford will be rockin’ country-style at the Agrifair on the evening of Saturday, Aug. 3, with Langley-born rocker-turned-country Dallas Smith. Agrifair grounds will be brimming with onlookers as this Juno-nominated country singer-songwriter takes the stage at 9:30 p.m. Dallas Smith is new to the country scene, but no stranger to success in the music business. Formerly the lead vocalist of alternative rock band Default, Smith released four albums, selling over a million copies. Success has stuck with Smith as he jumped right in to the country music scene. The natural twang in his voice made an easy transition from alternative rock to country. “I am having the time of my life to be honest,” says Smith, as he describes how blessed
he feels having made the transition. “The support from the country community has been mind-blowing. Also, I’m in the driver’s seat with this project and that helps me create a good balance in my life.” When asked how he feels about performing locally at Agrifair, Smith says, “It’s great to be able to see so many familiar faces. It’s not very often I can get all my friends and family together in one place.” Dallas has teamed up with Rodney Clawson, a Grammy-nominated songwriter, and Chris Tompkins (Carrie Underwood) to create a new album which is expected to be released in early 2014. “With this record I tried to put together a collection of the best songs I could get my hands on. There are some outside songs from writers I am a huge fan of and also co-writes I had with them. The Nashville style of writing was very foreign to me compared to my past. With Default it would just be the guys and I hanging out and hopefully we’d have ideas. With this record I was sitting down with guys who do this as a nine-to-five job. It is quite different from what I was used to.” Eager fans may have an opportunity to hear material from the new album Saturday evening. “We actually might be trying out one or two new songs. I am excited for that as well. I love watching the reaction of fans to new material. Crowds don’t lie,” said Smith. His latest single, Nothing But Summer, released just in time for a promising summer, is all about enjoying carefree summer days and evenings. Come out to Abbotsford Agrifair to do just that! Enjoy a full carefree summer day, snag your spot in the beer gardens early and kick back for a rockin’ country-style summer evening. Opening for Smith will be the winner of Friday’s Valley Voices competition. The newfound star will perform three or four songs starting at approximately 7:30 p.m., followed by The Johnson Brothers. Raised in Maple Ridge, The Johnson Brothers (Brett and Trent) have proven to be one of the hardest working bands in the province. Born the grandsons of CCMA Hall of Fame member, Elmer Tippe, and nephews to CCMA and BCCMA award-winner Rick Tippe, the brothers were destined to tackle the country music industry. Their passion for music and high-energy stage show have caught the attention of music lovers and helped set the brothers apart from other acts in the province.
Strathcona Mounted Troop Witness an important part of Canadian history and enjoy a colourful, musical and active display of equestrian skill and military tradition by the Strathcona Mounted Troop. Comprised of 20 horses and 25 Royal Canadian soldiers dressed in period uniform, the troops will perform a 35-minute musical ride, including a tent-pegging demonstration, each day throughout the long weekend to commemorate their national military heritage and cavalry traditions. They will perform Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the Thunderbowl and on Monday in the Agrifair Arena. The Strathcona Mounted Troop, originally formed by Donald Smith (Lord Strathcona and Mounted Royal) in the year 1900 during the “wild, wild west” era, was a regiment of cavalry consisting of Canadian cowboys and frontiersmen as well as members of the North West Mounted Police. This regiment of cowboys and frontiersmen fought bravely on horseback in several small and bloody battles throughout the South African Boer War, with many members
hired as scouts due to their background. As the Second World War approached in 1939, the Strathcona Mounted Troop were disbanded and replaced by heavy armoured cavalry. In order to preserve its history and keep tradition alive, the current ceremonial Strathcona Mounted Troop (formed in 1977) perform at various fairs and rodeos throughout the country each year. Twenty-five soldiers proudly volunteer their time for up to two years, caring for their mounts and equipment as well as taking part in training and cavalry drills. During this time they must also carry out active military duties. Horse maintenance, uniforms and equipment are paid for through the Strathcona Mounted Troop Foundation which relies on the generous donations and honorariums received by its members, service clubs, private individuals, as well as cities and other organizations. Don’t miss your opportunity to observe this historical event and help keep our living history alive.

Learn to cook
‘Wild, Wild West’ style Don’t settle for regular ol’ chuck-wagon grub. Instead, impress your family and guests with some amazing “Wild, Wild West” themed gourmet dishes! Learn how to make Cajun Chicken with Black Bean Succotash, World’s Best Cornbread, Grilled Vegetable Salad with Blueberry Vinaigrette, Pear and Blueberry Cobbler, South Western Steak Diane and South Western Steak Salad. Chef Dez, a certified Red Seal chef, is passionate about food and will be cooking up a storm with another fun, informative and high-energy series of 15 mouth-watering cooking shows over the long weekend. “Three of the recipes are even gluten-free
and diabetic friendly,” says Chef Dez, who is also a national food columnist and a culinary Instructor at five locations across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, including Lepp Farm Market here in Abbotsford. This is Chef Dez’s 10th year at Agrifair. His passion for people and food makes his shows entertaining, enjoyable and educational. Chef Dez will be putting on four shows daily Friday, Saturday and Sunday and three shows on Monday. Make sure you stop by and see what’s cookin’! Look for him on the upper level between the Tradeshow building and Pioneer Corner.
What cuts steel like a hot knife through butter? It’s a tool that rescue services would not be without when it comes to saving lives. It’s called the Jaws of Life, and Agrifair patrons will have an opportunity to witness live on Saturday, Aug. 3 just how this amazing tool works. Not only that, but the Services on Safety show is jammed-packed with all sorts of engaging demonstrations for the family to see. The Services on Safety show is big this year,” said Melanie Kish, Agrifair office manager. “We have the Jaws of Life coming in, the Roll-Over Simulator and also a Teddy Bear Hospital.” Patrons can also expect to meet Jamie Davis Motor Truck Heavy Recovery & Rescue from the popular A&E series, Highway Thru Hell. A Jaws of Life extrication demonstration, coordinated with Abbotsford Fire Rescue, will be held at 2 p.m. Aug.3. They will use the tool to cut a car apart and free a ‘live’ volunteer. The patient will be carefully removed from the wreck and secured onto a stretcher as in a real-life situation. Bring your family and watch as the Roll-Over Simulator demonstrates just what can happen to vehicle occupants who are not wearing seatbelts. This demonstration, hosted
by The Fraser Valley Integrated Road Safety Unit, a unit comprised of the Abbotsford Police Department, Delta Police Department and RCMP members, provides both real-time compelling evidence of the security provided by seatbelts as well as the devastating consequences vehicle occupants are subjected to after being ejected from a vehicle during a roll-over crash. The simulator is the front end of a car mounted on a trailer that spins around on a vertical axis. During the demonstration crash dummies representing vehicle occupants will be placed inside in both belted and unbelted scenarios. The vehicle will simulate what happens at speeds of 30 to 50 kilometres per hour during a roll-over crash. Patrons will have an opportunity to practice their own CPR skills during the CPR demonstration. There will be other static displays to check out as well. Children, don’t forget to bring your favourite teddy bear or stuffy that needs first aid treatment! Nurses and doctors will be standing by at the Teddy Bear Hospital to take good care of your special friend. Also, there will be a special 911 kids phone to practice just what to say to the during an emergency situation.

West Coast Lumberjacks and the Demolition Derby
Grab a corn dog, a plate of deep fried pickles or those mini donuts and snag a seat in the stands before they’re gone. Who’s returning to Abbotsford’s Agrifair? They are the people’s favourites: The West Coast Lumberjack Show and the Demolition Derby. The lumberjack show, featuring big, brawny lumberjacks facing off against each other in tests of strength, speed, accuracy, balance, and skill, represents the thrilling and dangerous forest industry in British Columbia. Roaring crowds cheer on the lumberjacks as they battle each other through a gauntlet of climbing, sawing, chopping and balancing matches. “We are awesome,” affirms Darren Dean, owner of the West Coast Lumberjack Show. Returning to Agrifair after three seasons away, Darren has planned an action-packed, 45-minute extravaganza to be showcased three times a day throughout the Agrifair long weekend.
“Our lumberjacks were featured on Canada’s Got Talent and Bachelor Canada last year,” remarked Dean. “They also appeared in The Amazing Race Australia.” It’s been six years since the demolition derby unleashed its automotive carnage on Agrifair grounds and due to popular demand they are back for more car-on-car combat to thrill crowds once again! “This is a live-action family event that people of all ages like to come and see,” said Ross Edwards, a 45-year-plus veteran of the derby. “Spectators cheer on their favourite car and see how long it can last.” This year the derby, a full-contact motor sport, has something special planned. “We’re bringing out mini-vans to the death!” announced Ross. “There will be half a dozen mini-vans stripped out for a figure-eight race.” Whether driving forward, backwards or sideways, contestants must out-drive and out-manoeuvre one another to win this race. The demolition derby, sponsored by Playtime Chances Abbotsford Casino, is scheduled to roar into action on Aug. 5 for an adrenaline-pumping hour of excitement, and the West Coast Lumberjacks face off daily throughout the long weekend. They are family-friendly, action-packed shows popular among people of all ages. Fireworks are back Friday night at 10:15 p.m. for a dazzling display you won’t want to miss. It has been three years since they last lit up the night sky at Agrifair, and due to popular demand they are back for another year.
Weekend pass too good to pass up Fifteen dollars for four full days and nights of family friendly entertainment including three concerts, the Demolition Derby, Lumberjack Show, Carz and More Show, Lego Mania Show, Agriland, Rodeo, Midway, KidZone, Dinosaurs, fireworks and so much more. Where else can you find this much entertainment at such a steal of a price? There’s something for everyone at Abbotsford Agrifair. Affordable family fun – you won’t want to miss a moment at “the best little country fair”!

Kids’ pedal tractor pull There are ribbons to be won and prizes to be had at the Pioneer Corner as the Kids’ Pedal Tractor Pull competition gets underway twice daily throughout the long weekend. It isn’t horsing around that will win your kids a prize or ribbon, but they will have to generate as much horsepower as they can to win against their rival competition. Two heats will compete against each other daily. Contestants will have to use raw muscle strength to drive a pedal tractor down a track while at the same time pulling a weight transfer sled upon which escalated weight will be added. Whoever can pull the sled the farthest is the winner! Be sure to check out the big tractors. The Fraser Valley Antique Farm Machinery Association will be exhibiting restored heritage tractors as well as antique household items. See a 1930s antique diesel-powered saw mill in action as it cuts raw logs into boards the old-fashioned way. You will also see some antique gasoline engines. Have you ever gazed down the dairy aisle of your local grocery store and
wondered just how skim milk, 2% milk or your coffee cream was produced? Or have you ever wondered what went into making a rope? Or how grain was separated from the stock and husks of wheat grass? Well, here’s your chance to find out. Cream separating, rope-making and thrashing machine demonstrations will be shown twice daily. This is a great educational and eye-opening experience for those of us who simply head over to the local convenience or hardware store to buy what we need. Back in 1889, Abbotsford began as a small farming community and now has grown to produce over 70 per cent of B.C.’s dairy, berries, vegetables, poultry, eggs, pork, greenhouse vegetables, mushrooms, floriculture and nursery products. Agriculture was what gave Abbotsford its kick-start and it continues to be a big business that keeps Abbotsford flourishing. Pioneer Corner will take you back in time to when good old-fashioned farming techniques and machinery helped deliver and sustain agriculture in our city. Be sure to check it out.

‘Show off and compete’ and ‘create and play’ Calling all car builders, car enthusiasts, LEGO builders and people of all ages with imaginations who want to create! Whether you want to show off your handiwork and finished project or you want to have fun and discover your creative side, the Abbotsford Agrifair is providing opportunities to ‘show off and compete’ and ‘create and play’ with the Carz and More car show and the LEGO Mania show. No matter what your age, there will be lots of fun things to do and cool things to see. Car enthusiasts will be revving up in anticipation of the Carz and More show for four days of “everything to do with cars” excitement. First out of the gate on Aug. 2 is Vintage Day, a showcase of non-modified, pre-1973 cars and trucks, followed by SOS: Services on Safety on Aug. 3, featuring current and vintage emergency vehicles. The Aug. 4 show, Planes, Trains and Automobiles:
Anything with Wheels, will exhibit a variety of wheeled and winged machines, and finally on Aug. 5, Hot Rods, Sports Cars and Super Cars will present a collection of expensive and luxurious cars. If you own a cool car or a cool thing on wheels and want to get in on the $500 jackpot, plus an opportunity to show off your baby, call 604-852-6674 or visit www. agrifair.ca to get your entry form. A giant LEGO creation will also be in the works throughout the long weekend. Brickville DesignWorks, an interactive company that creates giant sculptures and custom creations out of LEGO, is planning a big build among other creative fun for people of all ages. Construction will begin on Aug. 2 and continue through to the end of the fair, so be sure to keep checking in to witness the various stages of progress. Return Sunday afternoon to see the final creation.

Rugby teams Celebrity battle it out judges seek
‘Valley Voice’
Over 20 men’s and women’s teams in three divisions will compete in the Abbotsford Kukri Sevens Abbotsford Rugby Club tournament on Saturday, Aug. 3 at Exhibition Park. This year the annual tournament is ecstatic to piggyback on the crowds attracted annually by Abbotsford’s renowned Agrifair, drawing a new audience to the fair and sport alike. If you haven’t heard the terms ruck, maul, scrum or lineout, here is your chance to find out what it’s all about. Rugby Sevens, a fast-paced game played around the world, debuts in the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. Dating back to the 1800s, Sevens is adapted from the original Fifteen’s format (15 players on the field). Although only being accepted by the IOC in 2009, Rugby Sevens is already one of the world’s fastest growing sports, simply because it is one of the fastest sports in the world. The real appeal is that it is spectator-friendly, demanding no prior knowledge of the sport to feel the sheer excitement and gratification a 15-minute game can provide. This format gives new spectators and seasoned professionals a chance to appreciate different teams, divisions and skill levels, in a one-day, action-packed tournament. “The tournament will be great entertainment,” said Anthony Hirschman, tournament coordinator. “It will be good for both kids and adults.” Sports fanatics and curious on-lookers should be sure to come out and enjoy the sun and festivities. Cheer teams on from the beer garden or observe from the sidelines for a high-speed, thrilling and totally entertaining display of athleticism. Three matches will be scheduled simultaneously at various times throughout the day Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. until approximately 6 p.m.
A sing-off to a professional live band will set the stage as five celebrity judges crown this year’s winner of the Valley Voices Vocal Competition at the Abbotsford Agrifair on the evening of Friday, Aug. 2. “The winner of this competition will be a star for a year,” said Darcy D, co-founder of the Valley Voices Vocal Competition (VVVC), which has helped facilitate the development of numerous music careers. “The grand prize winner will receive voice sessions with world famous voice coaches such as Dave Stroud (Natasha Beddingfield, Cee Lo Green and Adam Lambert) and Raab Stevenson (Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and Kelly Rowland).” Young amateur voice talent from all over B.C. have been busy honing their vocal techniques in hopes of becoming one of 15 finalists in the Valley Voice Vocal Competition and ultimately being crowned the Valley Voice of 2013. Fifteen finalists have been selected from two categories, junior (seven to 12 years) and senior (13 to 18 years). All finalists are showcased on Facebook where fans can view video performances and cast their vote by ‘Liking’ their favourite artist. “Contestants will gather Likes which will become part of the voting statistics,” explained Darcy. “The live audience (at Agrifair on Aug. 2) can also vote. All of the votes will be added to the panel votes.” This will be the fifth season Valley Voices has entertained at Agrifair. “The entertainment and showcase of talent Valley
Voices brings to our community’s fair is absolutely amazing! We are looking forward to another great year,” said Ernie Silveri, Agrifair president. The 15 aspiring finalists will contend for the title of Valley Voice 2013 throughout the day Aug. 2 beginning at 11 a.m. on Agrifair’s community stage until the top three finalists from each category are selected at 6:30 p.m. A special performance by last year’s winner, Bailey Alexis, will kick off the final show at 8:30 p.m. on the concert stage where the remaining contenders will sing off to a live band to win their category. Out of these only one will be crowned 2013’s Valley Voice. The winner will be announced at 10:15 p.m. The five celebrity judges include Kenny Jones of SONiC Nation; Troy Samson, producer of Snoop Dog and Canadian Idol; Tara Lett, co-founder and creative director of AMP Records, The Future Label; Phil Lehmann, co- founder of AMP Records, The Future Label and sought-after songwriter, producer, and mixer; and Kylee Epp, country pop artist, nominated for four BCCMA awards in 2012.

Like most 15-year-olds, Emily Krack, Susie Veenenan, Jessie Gibson and Kelly Harder like to talk to each other about their lives and experiences. The difference is, they broadcast their conversations on the Internet. The young women run a podcast called the RHSC – Real High School Convo – which they describe as “a podcast risen from the darkness of high school.” They use the show to talk about the video games they like, funny stories from their friends, fashion, or the day-to-day life of a high school student. “High school is not the best thing, but it’s not the worst,” said Krack, adding that it helps to joke around about it with friends. The girls met in a class at Yale Secondary School, and after spending Submitted a lot of time Emily Krack, Susie Veenenan, Jessie laughing, deGibson and Kelly Harder (not piccided to start tured) host a weekly podcast . their show in December. After months of getting off the ground, they released their first episode last month – which hit about 150 downloads – and have begun releasing episodes weekly. Krack said they’ve also found listenership around the world, with people in Australia, Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Germany downloading and tuning in. The group gathers at Krack’s home and record on a laptop around a single headset. Krack edits the podcast, and puts it online. But at the end of the day, it’s a fun way to spend time with her friends. The podcast can be downloaded on iTunes by searching RHSC.

Nanaimo ends squad’s season, defeat Abby 4-1
Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
In the aftermath of the Abbotsford Cardinals’ 4-1 loss to the Nanaimo Pirates on Sunday afternoon, Jesse McGowan’s body language said it all. As his Cards teammates cleared their gear out of the dugout, McGowan leaned over the railing in front, his arms folded and his chin resting on top, staring intently at the ground. “It’s tough, because you can see how much potential we had,” the senior pitcher said, reflecting on the season-ending defeat, which came in the semifinal game of the B.C. Premier Baseball League Final Four tournament at DeLair Park. “We had high expectations for this week-

Riley Salter of the Abbotsford Cardinals attempts to tag out Max Wood of the Vancouver Cannons during opening round action on Friday. Abbotsford won the game 2-1. end.” The Cardinals had gotten off to a promising start to the Final Four round robin,
opening with a 2-1 extra-innings win over the Vancouver Cannons on Friday and knocking off Nanaimo
4-2 on Saturday afternoon. A victory in their round-robin finale vs. the Victoria Eagles
would have given them an automatic finals berth, but the Eagles edged them 1-0 in a game that saw the Cards strand eight baserunners. Coaches from both teams were ejected for protesting umpires’ calls, and Abby head coach Corey Eckstein picked up an additional suspension for the semifinal after it was ruled he bumped the first base umpire while disputing a decision in the sixth inning. “Apparently my chest touched a shoulder, and they felt the need (to assess a suspension),” Eckstein said. “It’s unfortunate. “It was my last time coaching this group of boys (on Saturday), and I was hoping to get one more day with them.

Coach: ‘It stings’ From A38
the toughest part about it.” The Cardinals got off to a quick start in the semifinal, going up 1-0 in the bottom of the first inning when Riley Salter singled to drive in Jae Kim. But the Pirates responded by plating one run in each of the next four innings, and the host Cards couldn’t muster anything more offensively. “It stings,” Eckstein said. “But you know what, Nanaimo was the better team today – they swung the bats well. And once again, we had opportunities to capitalize and score, and that didn’t transpire.” In an all-Vancouver Island final, Victoria rallied past Nanaimo in dramatic fashion. Trailing 2-1 heading to the bottom of the seventh, the Eagles loaded the bases with two outs, and shortstop Vinny Martin came through with a single to drive in two runs, lifting Victoria to a 3-2 victory. As for the Cardinals, there will come a day in the not-too-distant future where they will be able to appreciate what they accomplished during a landmark season in the elite under-18 league. They set a team record for regular season victories (29), won the first playoff series in club history, and their third-place provincial finish is another team record. “It’s easier to leave knowing that we left a mark on the team, that we set records,” McGowan noted. “A lot of guys in the league probably doubted us – probably thought we didn’t have enough offence to get it done,” Eckstein said. “But give these guys credit, they found ways to win ballgames through pitching and defence.

For many pups, the best part of a car ride is feeling the breeze in their furry faces as they stick their heads out the window. Despite the feel good nature of this pleasurable experience, it’s actually a very dangerous habit. In the early days of automobiles, most cars did not have windshields and their top speed was approximately 45 mph. Given those conditions, drivers wore goggles to protect their eyes. Now that we have windshields to protect us, you wouldn’t consider sticking your unprotected head out the window at 45 mph. Then why let your dog? Allowing your dog to let it stick its head out the window is a very dangerous habit. Their eyes are exposed to dirt, rocks, dust and other debris. These materials can easily puncture and scratch your dog’s eyes. A line of pet goggles have come out which are to help prevent these types of injuries. However, even if you can train your dog not to paw them off his head, there are still many other dangers when your dog’s head is out the window while driving. Damage to the ears is another big concern. When the dog’s ears flap in
the wind, his soft earflaps (pinnae) can easily become irritated, swell and become very tender. The constant and rapid flapping of the pinnae against your dog’s head from high-speed winds causes trauma to the ear and results in swelling. Repeated trauma such as this can cause lifelong problems for your pup. Allowing your dog to stick its head out the window can also lead to more severe outcomes, such as falling out of the car or getting his head stuck in the window opening. Taking a turn a bit too fast, traveling over bumpy terrain or an overly excited pup can cause your dog to lose balance and easily fall out of the window. These types of incidents occur more frequently than you might imagine and can cause severe injury or death to dogs. It should go without saying;

but another very dangerous idea is to allow your dog to ride in the bed of a pickup truck. All of the dangers of sticking its head out the window from inside the car are increased, since the bed of a pickup offers little or no protection from wind, debris, or falls. In addition, a pickup’s metal bed can reach dangerously high temperatures on hot days, which can cause damage to the soft tissue on a dog’s paws. The best place for your dog to ride is in the back seat or cargo area of your vehicle, properly restrained of course. Using a pet safety belt, car seat, vehicle pet barrier, or a travel crate is the best ways to ensure that your pup’s travels are happy and safe. Sure, crack the window, but no heads out!

Abbotsford’s Adam Hadwin missed the cut at the RBC Canadian Open in Ontario this weekend.
Missing the cut Rough start for Hadwin
Adam Hadwin’s run at the RBC Canadian Open came to a premature end, as he missed the cut at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ont. A rough first round was Hadwin’s undoing – he shot a six-over 78, with a pair of doublebogeys and five bogeys against a pair of birdies. The 25-year-old Abbotsford golfer bounced back with a one-under 71 during Friday’s second round, but it wasn’t enough, as he finished six strokes back of the cut line.
It was the third PGA Tour event of the season for Hadwin, a regular on the Web.com Tour. He also participated in the Farmers Insurance Open in January, and the U.S. Open in June.

Sister Marie Sylvia Wrubleski ssa (Sister Mary Lucille) Sr. Mary Lucille, SSA was born Marie Sylvia Wrubleski on a farm in Kuroki, Saskatchewan on July 30, 1921. Marie died at Mount St. Mary Hospital on July 23, 2013. Born at home she was the seventh of nine children born to Michael Wrubleski and Apalonia Zgoda. Although her mother died when she was only 10 years old Marie experienced a close knit, loving family that fostered growth in faith. Marie entered the Novitiate of The Sisters of St. Ann on August 20, 1938, in Victoria, B.C. receiving the name Sr. Mary Lucille and pronounced her vows on September 8, 1940. A dedicated teacher Sister Mary Lucille delighted in seeing her students achieve their goals. She taught students from grades one through eight in Victoria, Mission City, New Westminster, Duncan, Kuper Island, Prince George and Vancouver. First Nations children had a special place in her heart and she fostered their education and belief in themselves at the Kuper and Kamloops Indian Residential Schools and for 17 years at St. Mary’s Mission Residential School; she also helped their transition to public schools as a home-school coordinator. In later years, Sister Mary Lucille provided Pastoral Care Ministry at Mount St. Francis in Nelson and in St. James Parish in Vernon. In 2001 she became Coordinator of the Sisters at St. Ann’s Residence in Victoria. Suffering a stroke in 2003 she was a witness to us of patience in suffering and trust in and longing for God. The Sisters are deeply grateful to the staffs of both St. Ann’s Residence and Mount St. Mary Hospital for their attentive care to Marie. Marie is predeceased by her parents and seven siblings. She is survived by her sister Jeanette McKinnon (Stanley-deceased), nephew Allan Ottman and numerous nieces and nephews as well as her own community of The Sisters of St. Ann. Prayers & service have already been held in Victoria, BC this past weekend.
