Dad thinks pink for his son New Jeep colour represents an ‘anti bully’ stance Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Rye French might exhibit a tough-guy exterior, but he has no issues with getting around in a vehicle that looks like something a life-sized Barbie would drive. French, who sports a bald head, a grizzly beard and several tattoos, recent;y won a contest that involved having his vehicle repainted the shade of his choice. He opted to have his blue 1995 Jeep Cherokee transformed into a vision in pink. An unusual choice, yes, but French will do anything when it comes to his two kids – Eden, 8, and Heaven-Leigh, 13. In this case, it was all about Eden. Eden is a “unique kid,” according to French and his wife, Jamie. Eden loves the colour pink and everything Strawberry Shortcake. He has already been teased a bit for his tastes. French came across a contest on Facebook that was being held by Troy Imbach and Derek Moore, the owners

Rye French and his family – wife Jamie Sadler-French, son Eden and daughter Heaven-Leigh – pick up their newly painted Jeep Cherokee.
“I figured what better way to support him than have his bald-headed, tattooed, bearded dad pick him up from school in a pink Jeep,” his submission stated. Moore said French’s entry stood out, and he was selected as the winner from among about 30 submissions. “It started as a contest to promote our business, but it has turned into something amazing and wonderful like this,” he said. The paint job was completed by Dip My Ride’s Dave Brown last Friday, including the words “anti bully pink” displayed in white print. French and his family picked up the vehicle that afternoon from the shop. “It’s really pink – really, really pink,” French laughed of his reaction to seeing the transformed Jeep for the first time. “I think they did a great job and I have no difficulty driving it around.” Eden was also pleased with the results. “I like it a lot,” he said.

Recent statistics from Abbotsford indicate the area is meeting a province-wide trend that shows a drop in marijuana possession cases and an increase in other drug cases. New figures from Statistics Canada indicate that marijuana possession cases still account for 60 per cent of drug violation reports to police in B.C., but the number of cases declined 10 per cent in 2012. There were 25,432 police-reported incidents of drug offences in B.C. last year, a 7.4 per cent decline from 2011. Marijuana trafficking cases declined more than 20 per cent to 1,006 incidents, and importation and exportation of marijuana declined by 40 per cent. Marijuana growing cases declined 4.6 per cent, following a 28.6 per cent drop in 2011. Heroin possession cases jumped more than 30 per cent to 500, and heroin traf-

There were 653 reported cases of possession of methamphetamine (crystal meth), a 20 per cent increase over 2011, and 110 per cent more than 2009. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said Abbotsford recorded a 14 per cent drop in pot-related cases from 2011 to 2012, while heroin jumped 167 per cent and cocaine went up 35 per cent. Contrary to the B.C. figures, Abbotsford had MACDONALD a slight drop – five per cent – in meth-related cases. MacDonald said the decline in marijuana cases can likely be attributed to the increase in licensed medical marijuana production. He said this could also account for the hike in cases involving other drugs. As there is less demand on the street to purchase illegally grown marijuana,

gangs turn to the trafficking of other substances, he said. The latest stats come as licensed medical marijuana production increases across North America. Colorado and Washington state voted to legalize sales to adults last year. In July, Elections BC gave approval in principle for a petition drive aimed at decriminalizing marijuana possession in B.C. Marijuana activist Dana Larsen has formed a group called Sensible B.C., aimed at forcing a change to B.C. law that would prevent police resources from being used against simple possession of marijuana. Sensible B.C. is using the same voter initiative system that forced the repeal of the harmonized sales tax in B.C. The group will have 90 days, starting Sept. 9, to collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts. If that target is met, a province-wide vote would be held on the proposed law.

SPCA rescues pit bulls from local home Eight dogs were emaciated and suffering from wounds Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Eight pit bulls, including three puppies, were seized by the BC SPCA from an Abbotsford home last Friday after they were found to be in need of immediate veterinary care. Marcie Moriarty, SPCA chief prevention and enforcement officer, said some the animals were emaciated and were suffering from untreated lacerations. She said the puppies were underweight and dehydrated, and there were concerns about the unsanitary conditions of the home. “The home is most certainly not inhabitable … The conditions most certainly warranted the seizure of the animals.” Moriarty said the owners of the home suffer from mental health issues, and the hospital alerted the SPCA about the possible neglect of the dogs.

One of eight pit bulls seized by the SPCA from an Abbotsford home is now being cared for in a shelter. SPCA constables and officers with the Abbotsford Police Department went to the home with a search warrant on Friday afternoon. The pit bulls were taken immediately. Moriarty said one of the dogs required emergency

seek the return of the animals or to surrender them to the SPCA. If they are surrendered, they could be placed for adoption, although Moriarty said that would not be immediate. “The reality is that these dogs were living in such severe conditions, with complete lack of socialization, that it may take some time to work with (them),” she said. “When/if they do become available, they will be on our website, but likely will take a very specialized owner.” Moriarty said she could not elaborate further on what led to the condition of the dogs, or provide the location of the home, because the investigation is in the early stages. Criminal charges might be considered, but Moriarty said the case is a difficult one due to the mental health issues involved. She said this was the first time the SPCA had visited the home.

Recovery home proposed
Issue will eventually go to public hearing Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
Joshua House, also known as Yahweh Saves Recovery Ministries, is proposing to operate two 10-bed men’s supportive recovery homes at 29183 Fraser Highway. Joshua House is a Christian organization that currently runs recovery homes in Abbotsford and the surrounding area, assisting men who struggle with addiction. The proposed homes are located on agricultural land and the proposal has already received approval from the Agricultural Land Commission to operate on the site. The proposal states that as part of the recovery program, the men would be involved in the
maintenance and development of the farm. The property is about nine acres with two homes and several small barns used for cows, goats, pigs and chickens. Council passed the first reading of a rezoning “text amendment” necessary to operate supportive recovery use facilities on agricultural land. The proposal will go to public hearing, likely at the next council meeting, and must be approved by council in order to move forward. Coun. Henry Braun said that not only is supportive recovery needed in Abbotsford, “the farming aspect is a novel concept and approach to helping men who need a roof over their head, but also someone to come alongside them and mentor them and love them for who they are.”

When Claire Reid heard that Abbotsford’s food bank was lacking supplies to fill its shelves, she decided to launch an “awareness campaign” to help encourage more people to donate. “Donations are down this year and I think as a community we should come together and do what we can.” Reid, a photographer, has offered up 45-minute photography sessions for $25, but in-
stead of paying her, clients must make the check out to their food bank of choice. Reid said it’s just one way she can help raise awareness about the necessity of assisting local food banks.

Another round of liquor reforms Tom
Fletcher
B.C. Views The B.C. Liberal government is ordering up another round of liquor regulation changes, looking for ways to make life easier for businesses and customers without aggravating the health and social problems associated with alcohol. Discussions with B.C.’s 10,000 liquor licence holders have identified a few problems that should be fixed. Going into a consultation phase that runs to October, the government is looking for answers to a few obvious questions, such as why it takes a pub or bar up to a year to get a licence. Another question: why can a family with under-aged children go into a licensed restaurant for lunch, but can’t go to a pub and place the exact same food and drink order? This should be allowed, perhaps until the traditional 5 p.m. “happy hour”
when the pub reverts to adults-only. A couple of suggestions have come out of the healthy growth of B.C. wine, craft beer and distillery operations. Look for new licence opportunities for farmers’ markets to sell local beverages along with the produce and preserves. Letters inviting suggestions from existing licence holders have gone out, and Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap will be meeting this fall with industry groups, local governments, police, health and social policy organizations and First Nations in the fall. A website will be put up in September so members of the public can have their say. Here’s my suggestion to start things off. Recent incidents involving so-called “party buses” shone a light on this growing industry. The sudden death of a 16-yearold on a party bus outing in Surrey in February turned out not to be alcohol-re-
lated, but to no one’s surprise, open liquor was found aboard the bus. Open liquor isn’t allowed in any vehicle, but perhaps a new kind of special event licence could be created for party buses. They have been viewed mainly as part of the solution to impaired driving, and the situation isn’t much different from a supervised event on a boat. Here’s another suggestion. Gourmet cooking classes are becoming popular, with customers preparing and then enjoying their meals. Why not licence these establishments, at least so people can bring their own wine for dinner? Both the B.C. Liberals and NDP have advocated for easing the archaic rules on inter-provincial trade in wine. B.C. lifted its restrictions on mailorder wine and has urged other provinces to follow suit. There are a couple of reasons why this Prohibition-era structure persists. Liquor sales are a cash cow for provincial govern-
The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and convenience stores.
ments, and every case of wine brought in from elsewhere is lost profit for the provincial wholesale monopoly. Then there is the local industry lobby that would rather not add to its competition. Premier Christy Clark pressed this point at the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine allowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in Canadian wine. The Toronto media drank it up, aghast that they were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well developing its own wine industry. The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and convenience stores. Our politicians show little interest in that, which is understandable. The B.C. Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nurtured for a decade, and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union. There are more creative ways to liberalize alcohol sales. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Man-made potholes
I’ve driven in over a dozen countries in Europe, halfway across Canada and the United States and without a doubt the work by the planning and engineering departments in Abbotsford have to be the worst that I have encountered. Other jurisdictions somehow manage to have their sewer lines run down the center of vehicle lanes so
that the manholes can be straddled. Furthermore it is possible to obtain covers that fit flush with the rim of the manhole so that they do not have to countersunk a couple of inches but can be set level with the traveled surface. By the way, manhole covers have drainage holes so they don’t even have to be countersunk.
Anyone who has driven in Abbotsford has encountered drivers (themselves included) swerving in order to try to avoid having their tires damaged by these man-made potholes. Perhaps further research and/or education by these departments would do much to alleviate this situation.

Liquor laws examined
Tom FLETCHER Black Press
A glass of wine at the spa? A craft beer at the farmer’s market? Can B.C. survive the next wave of modernization of its archaic liquor laws? These suggestions are part of a review of liquor policy promised by the B.C. government in its February throne speech and rolled out Wednesday. Richmond MLA John Yap has been assigned to examine regulations that unnecessarily restrict business, making recommendations to the provincial cabinet by November. One proposal is allowing under-aged children to have lunch at a pub with their parents during the day, as they can do in a licensed restaurant. As well as considering licences for farm markets and spas, the review is to look at why it takes up to a year to issue a liquor licence to a business. Letters are going out to 10,000 licence holders and rural liquor agency stores looking for feedback, and a website for public comments is to be added in September. Don’t expect a price break, however. The terms of the review include ensuring that the $1 billion annual government revenue from liquor sales and sales tax is maintained or increased. The review will not look at privatization of liquor distribution, a controversial suggestion the government backed away from last year. Recent reforms in B.C. include allowing people to bring their own wine to a restaurant, and removing restrictions on buying wine from another province for personal use.

UFV receives funding for fire-service projects Almost $135,000 presented in Abbotsford Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) has received almost
$135,000 in funding to conduct two research projects that could lead to fewer fires and more effective and efficient
fire-service delivery across Canada. The funding from the Canadian Safety and Security Program
was presented on Monday at Fire Hall 1 in Abbotsford. Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis, chair of the Fire
Community of Practice, said one of the projects involves conducting a survey of all fire services across Canada – includ-
ing those in Abbotsford and Mission – to determine what they see as the key areas that should be researched.
This deal couldn’t be more black and white.
Garis said these areas could include health and safety issues for firefighters, sustainability for fire services, or finding and maintaining volunteers. He said three to five items will then be presented at a meeting in December as recommendations on what should be further researched. The second project involves developing an evidence-based “framework” – in the form of a manual or paper – for senior fire service officials to follow in making decisions about the operation of their departments. The projects are a partnership between UFV, the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs (CAFC), and Defence Research and Development Canada. “This research will bring vital information and much-needed capacity to Canada’s fire service,” said CAFC president Stephen Gamble. “The future of the fire service will rely on our ability to make decisions based on predictable outcomes.” Research for both projects will be conducted by Dr. Darryl Plecas of UFV and Dr. Paul Maxim, a professor of economics and former associate vicepresident of research at Wilfrid Laurier University.

UFV partners with football team on concussion study
A rainbow of wires streams across the table as University of the Fraser Valley kinesiology instructor Michael Gaetz whispers “Breathe . . . perfect” and the bulky teen stares ahead, unblinking. The test, taking place in a small room at UFV’s Chilliwack campus at Canada Education Park, is more than an exercise in meditation – it’s part of an ongoing study placing local athletes head and shoulders above the rest when dealing with the increasingly troublesome world of concussions. Led by Dr. Gaetz and involving football players at Chilliwack’s G.W. Graham middle/secondary school, the study is built on baseline testing – measuring students’ physical and mental capacities before they suffer concussions, not just after. “It’s the only way to get a sense of where the student is starting from,” Gaetz says. Memory, attention, reaction and processing time are all recorded using delicate sensors inserted through cloth skull caps before and after vigorous stationary bike sessions. Balance is also tested, as are cognitive abilities using a standardized computer test with ties to Harvard University used by NHL teams during “quiet room” consultations following potential on-ice concussions. Armed with that information, G.W. Graham Grizzlies football staff can immediately determine if a player suffers a concussion during a game or practice by issuing a series of sideline tests, and measuring results against his or her baseline information gathered at UFV – potentially eliminating the chance of a secondary (and often more severe)
injury. As time passes, tests also determine where a player is in terms of recovery, and what level of physical exercise is appropriate – if any. “It allows us to say ‘you have a concussion, now let’s manage that,’” explains Gaetz, who is assisted by five UFV student volunteers. “We’re doing this as a service to the community . . . It doesn’t cost G.W. Graham school anything.” The Grizzlies have embraced the program with open arms. “It immediately put us
in the spotlight in the province, and now all high school teams are trying to find a way to follow us,” says athletic director Jake Mouritzen, adding that 90 per cent of his 100 athletes were already tested by early July ahead of fall’s football season. “We’ve been really blessed and very grateful to UFV and Dr. Gaetz for involving us in this program . . . it’s absolutely world class.” Gaetz’s involvement began shortly after local doctor Josh Greggain starting looking into how concus-
sions plague young athletes in the spring of 2012. Serving as the Grizzlies’ medical director alongside head coach Laurie Smith, Greggain needed a partner for concussion research. Combing through UFV’s website for student assistance, he eventually contacted kinesiology program head Chris Bertram. “He said ‘Not me, but I’ve got your guy,’” Greggain recalls. And along came Gaetz, who made concussions the subject Continued on A20

of his doctoral thesis while studying at Simon Fraser University. With UFV’s new Chilliwack campus opening so close to G.W. Graham, the partnership was a no-brainer. “This is what community partnerships are all about,” Greggain said, calling Gaetz’s research “absolutely phenomenal work.” Greggain says the relatively short period of collection means data is not yet conclusive when understanding whether or not concussions are more damaging to younger people. That said, he adds, “We think (youth concussion prevention and treatment) is more important than with adults. Cognitive ability needs to be at its highest during high school and college.” While Grizzlies players allow Gaetz to gather information for his concussion research, he says the program – above all else – is simply another way UFV’s connection expands beyond campus walls. “It’s one way we can help ensure the community is looked after, now and in the future.”

Rugby stars shine at nationals U16 boys and girls teams win gold medals
Abbotsford athletes played key roles for the provincial U16 boys and girls rugby teams, which both won gold at the Rugby Canada National Championship Festival in Vancouver last week. B.C. entered two teams in the U16 girls tournament. The B.C. Gold squad lived up to its name, wrapping up the title by blanking Ontario 19-0 in the Cup final. The team featured nine local players from five Abbotsford high schools: Sophia Belsher, Autumn Garrett and Morgan Walker of Robert Bateman
Secondary, Mackenzie Carson and Sydney Stoltz of Yale, Abby Senior’s Nakisa Levale and Vienna Schroeder, Keera Grabbe of W.J. Mouat, and Rachelle Wenting of Rick Hansen. The U16 Blue squad, featuring Abbotsford’s Emily Pollastretti and Katrina Moorthy, finished fourth, falling 20-0 to Alberta in the Plate final. The U16 Yellow boys squad won their division’s championship in dominant fashion, crushing Ontario 50-0 in the final. The team included a
Cup final. The B.C. U17 boys squad, featuring Bateman’s Noah Jensen and Yale’s Ayden Kirkpatrick, also participated in the U18 tourney, and they made it to the Plate final, where they fell 26-7 to Ontario 3.

Yale Secondary teammates Spencer Miller, Jason Hignell and Judah Ratzlaff joined forces with Louis Retief, a fellow Abbotsford Rugby Club member who attends Sardis Secondary, to help the U18 boys team to a hard-fought runner-up result. They dropped a 29-21 decision to Ontario in the

Corrosion is the #1 cause of brake component failure. Corrosion can pit the metal bores of the master cylinder, and ABS components. Just like engine oil, coolant and transmission fluid, brake fluid “wears” over time. Not only does brake fluid wear, but the internal brake components also wear, producing “slude”. This leaves the brake system vulnerable to corrosion and compromise.

‘Wee man’ terrorizes defenders
From A21
“I would have liked to have come back and do it all again if I could, especially winning another championship,” he said. “I just thought it was a good time to make the leap (to pro soccer). You could say my market value is at its highest.” Miller believes Dosanjh has the tools to make a successful transition to the NASL, which is one step below Major League Soccer (MLS) in the North American pro soccer pecking order. “The wee man terrorized every defender in the CIS, and I’m hoping the wee man can terrorize the defences
in the North American Soccer League as well,” Miller said. “He’s always been a difference-maker for me, and he now needs this opportunity. “This a chance for Gagan to be a role model to players in the CIS, as someone who is making a living at soccer.” Dosanjh’s epic 2012 performance at UBC is all the more remarkable considering he was playing with a torn meniscus in his left knee. He recently underwent surgery to repair it, and hopes to be cleared to join training sessions in Edmonton this week. “Right now, I’m feeling really good – the knee feels strong, and I’m ready to get back into it,” he said.

Klammer clan heads back-to-school! For many, September means “back to school” and back to the busy routines, regimented bedtimes and first day butterflies. For parents Ingrid and Gord Klammer, the household is bustling as their two boys Benjamin and Joe prepare for high school at W.J. Mouat, and their youngest daughter Carissa gets ready for grade seven at Chief Dan George Middle School.
they need, and that usually entails a trip to Staples for all the back-toschool essentials. “We usually just get everything on the list that the school gives us,” says Ingrid. That list is packed with items that will help each child start the year off right, including a range of coloured pens, pencils, highlighters, notebooks, binders, dividers, index cards, and a calculator, among many other useful suggestions for parents. Then it’s up to each kid not to lose everything before the year ends.
Both parents agree that they try to make sure everyone has what
But what’s stationary without a little style?
It’s no secret that everyone’s favourite part about back-to-school shopping is the shopping part. Nothing says “bring on the new semester” quite like new attire. Whether running from class to class in a pair of clean shoes or high-fiving old friends in a fresh sweater, there is no denying that it feels good to look good. For the Klammer clan, their back-toschool shopping consists of buying a durable pair of jeans for the boys, as well as a few new shirts. For Carissa, it’s all about finding something “new and cute,” for her first day back. Once all the lunches are packed and

BriaN Billo
Although Brian Billo has taught at W.J. Mouat high school for the past 18 years, he still finds that every day and every class is different from the rest. He currently teaches students in Grades 9 through 12 in various creative courses including Drama and Acting, TV and Film, and Directing and Scriptwriting. And yet as he continues to educate students year after year, it is Billo who says he still gets surprised by their talent and everlasting imaginations. “The great thing about teaching Theatre and TV and Film is that you can give a hundred students the same idea to work on, and the variety of responses can be so vast,” he says. As a new school year approaches, it is not just the students who are wondering what awaits when the bell rings, but Billo as well, who claims he “still gets nervous” before the beginning of the semester. “Each group is its own entity that has its own skills and weaknesses,” says Billo, who is entrusted to help them understand their potential. As Billo has noticed, while the world has evolved, so has the school and the young minds it inhabits. “The school is much more multicultural, and technology has dramatically changed the way we live, work and learn,” says Billo, who now uses the internet as a key way to communicate

Wine under $10:
Spain pleases with a fruity, spicy red to students.
Teacher at WJ Mou
Relationships and conflict are an important area of study in his drama classes, and Billo hopes that his students take what they learn and can apply it to life outside of school. “I hope my students have a clearer vision of what it is to be a good person and make good choices in their lives,” says Billo. “If they leave my class inspired in some capacity, then I think I have succeeded in my job.” As September approaches and Billo prepares to see new faces and old walk through the doors of W.J. Mouat, he hopes students keep in mind that time will go by faster than they can ever imagine. As someone who has seen the changing trends in the hallways, the creative minds in the classroom, and the truth of the world that awaits when it’s all over, he urges students to take advantage now of all the school has to offer. “We have something here for everyone,” says Billo. “The school, like future, is what you make of it.”
During a Facebook conversation with a reader from Abbotsford, I received this challenge from him: Find, taste and write about easily accessible wines that ring in at less than $10 a bottle at the B.C. government liquor stores.
RED WINE: Marques de Rojas 2011
I have taken up the task and plan to give you one or two choices in that price category each month, for the next few months.
ON THE NOSE: Ripe black raspberries, plums, smoke, tomato leaf and tobacco.
What I’ll be looking for is red, white or rosé wine with a good QPR— quality-price ratio. Chances are, most of these wines will come from Spain, Portugal or Chile, but there may be others. I’ll evaluate them as objectively as possible and share my thoughts and recommendations with you. If you’d like to read about a particular wine, please let me know and I’ll find it, taste it and then tell you all about it. Send your suggestions to kathleen@betweenthevines.ca.
PRODUCER: Bodegas Piqueras COUNTRY: Spain GRAPE/BLEND: 100% Garnacha PRICE/ABV: $9.99/14% ABV THROUGH THE EYES: Intense, purple.
ON THE PALATE: Black raspberries, pepper and herbaceous qualities at the finish. OVERALL: Dark berries, good acid and easy-going tannins that provide some structure but won’t scare away new redwine drinkers. SERVE IT: Serve this uncomplicated wine solo or with meat from the grill. We had it with burgers at a backyard barbeque. Avoid sipping this one alongside spicy foods; the high alcohol content (14%) can amplify the heat in a less-thanpleasant way. BUY IT: Find Marques de Rojas at B.C. liquor stores and drink it now. It’s ready for you and won’t necessarily improve with age.

Each year established and budding new designers call forth their creative energy to entertain the buying public with a bevy of new wardrobe items and accessories. The Fall/Winter 2013 season is no exception. Borrowing from the past but with a nod for the future, key elements emerged during the runway shows of leading designers in the fashion meccas of New York, Milan and Paris. Here’s a look ahead at to what should be filling stores and closets in the next few months.
COLOR Expect to see plenty of green-hued items this fall. Mossy greens, yellowbased linden green, deep green, as well as Pantone’s color of the year, emerald green, will each be in style this fall. In addition to various shades of green, expect to see some other pops of color straight out of nature. Exotic reds, acai purple and azure blues
are just a few complementary colors that are expected to mix with the fall standards of slate gray and khaki. PATTERN There were interesting patterns and color combinations from a number of designers. While fashion-forward shoppers may not see the same level of detail at mainstream stores than they could expect to find at designer boutiques, there certainly may be a sampling of some of the prints and patterns that adorned the runways. Modernized florals in earthy colors and graphic prints that take their cue from Fair Isle knits and alpine animals were some of the showcased trends. In addition, Eastern European florals and color-blocking reminiscent of Soviet heritage were commonplace. Folk-inspired florals on dresses and jackets also could be seen. For those who want something a bit more amorphous in pattern but with the same punch of color, artistic pastel
Tank Top Available at Garage Clothing. Floral Dress: Rickis Plaid Shirt: Old Navy
pops of colors had some designers showing off a watercolor painting effect on some of their lines. Vivid colors paired with bold patterns completed these eye-catching looks. OLD IS NEW AGAIN In addition to the patterns and colors that were showcased on the runway, some designers were resurrecting some trends of the not-so-distant past. At Miu Miu and Blenciaga, crop-tops made many nostalgic for the early 1990s. Plaid flannel also graced some models, furthering the early 1990s look.
Although skinny jeans have quite possibly taken over for men and women alike, some designers have brought back the bootcut, which is more universally flattering for a wider array of figures. In the 1980s, logo sweatshirts and T-shirts from Benetton and Esprit were quite popular. Nowadays, new label-heavy clothing is a growing trend once again. A number of style trends will be on display this fall and into the winter.

CORN TORTILLAS
WHAT IS CELIAC DISEASE? Gluten-free foods are required for people who have Celiac disease, an autoimmune condition of the small intestines that is triggered by the consumption of wheat protein. Celiac disease can cause damage to the lining of the small intestines, which results in a decreased absorption of nutrients. This can cause vitamin deficiencies that deprive the body and brain of necessary nourishment.
Corn ucopia
of Gluten-Free choices Many people are adopting gluten-free diets for a variety of reasons. While such a diet means
passing on foods that contain wheat protein, such as certain breads, crusts and baked goods, it doesn’t mean giving up on grains entirely. Many grains are acceptable for those adhering to a gluten-free diet, and such grains can help fill the void left by avoiding wheat products. To avoid gluten, a person has to remove wheat products, barley, spelt, rye, and triticale from his or her diet. However, there are many other foods that can be eaten. Plus, flours made from grinding other grains can be used in place of wheat flour. The finished products may just have less of the doughy or elastic consistency that is a hallmark of gluten. Here are

BACK, baby back RIBS!
With another summer coming to an end and the new school year fast approaching, it seems that time goes by just a bit faster. While the days are still nice and long, and lots of activities filling the afternoons, dinner times seem to fluctuate a bit more and maybe have become a little bit random or unplanned.
CHEF JEFF MASSEY’S BY BACK RIBS SLOW ROASTED BA • 8 racks of fresh pork baby back ribs, skin removed • 8 tbsp dry rub spice blend (recipe follows) • Sea salt to taste
CAJUN SPICE RUB MIX:
For this month’s article I have included one of my favourite late summer meals that come together in a snap, are completely satisfying and a real crowd pleaser, because, if you’re having a great summer……. it is always great to have friends and family over to share it with.
METHOD: • Using a paring knife, peel the skin from the underside of the rib bones (this makes them less chewy)
• 1 tbsp each: cumin, coriander, fennel, chili powder, brown sugar, salt, dried oregano
O CHA
My favourite sides to make with this are a chipotle, bacon and feta cheese potato salad, fresh summer tomato and mozzarella caprese salad and late summer mixed beans with crisp shallots, toasted pistachios in thyme and sage butter. Oh, and a cold beer.

August is a very important transitional time in our vegetable gardens. Some vegetables are still maturing, but many others have finished completely, leaving gaps here and there that could still produce a few crops. In the Lower Mainland and the Valley, fast crops like lettuce, brassicas, peas, beans, radishes, swiss chard and beets can easily go in now, especially from started crops or transplants, for harvesting from September through next March and beyond. In southwestern B.C., our vegetable gardens can be producing 12 months a year, and even in some colder parts of the province, selective planting can be done. Potted perennial vegetables, like horseradish, Jerusalem artichokes and rhubarb, can be planted now. Perennial herbs like mint, parsley, chives, marjoram and oregano can also be planted for some late fall and early spring additions to your culinary dishes. September is also the best time to plant garlic for next year. For some delicious spinach-like greens, swiss chard can be planted now. Once established, it will tolerate a fair bit of cold before it either freezes or goes dormant. The same is true of spinach. ‘Perennial Spinach’, which is actually a chard, and West Coast Seeds’ ‘Bloomsdale Savoy’ are two varieties that can be used in 45 days. There is even time for some root crops like beets. In the worst-case scenario, all you will get are the greens, but even they are delicious. Varieties like ‘Winterkeeper Lutz’, for example, mature in 34 days – now that is quick! Lettuce is, by far, the most popular of greens, and seeded now, almost any variety of leaf lettuce will do just fine. The ‘Butter Crunch’ type matures in about 60 days, while the loose leaf varieties, like ‘Black Seeded Simpson’ and ‘Red Sails’, will be on your

Aw a r d - w i n n i n g Canadian comic news team Double Exposure will be performing at Mission's Clarke Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 19. Double Exposure is Bob Robertson and Linda Cullen, who teamed up in the 1980s and set a new standard in satire. The comic duo began their partnership with a weekly radio comedy program on the CBC national radio network called Double Exposure which ran for ten and a half years with an average weekly audience of over 300,000. From 1990 to '97, the duo toured Canada, playing major theatres including the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, the Royal Alex Theatre in Toronto and The Orpheum in Vancouver. Robertson and Cullen also wrote, produced and performed in the annual New Year’s Eve television special “A Swift Kick in The Year End” which aired on CBC TV. Additionally, Double Exposure produced a weekly comedy program for the CTV network, and the two continue to write both columns and books. Tickets for the Mission show are $25, and are available at all Ticketmaster locations or online at ticketmaster.ca. The Clarke Theatre is located at 33700 Prentis Ave. Doors open at 7 p.m., with the show starting at 7:30 p.m.

OBITUARIES
MULDER, Henry 1930 - 2013 After a lengthy battle with cancer our loving Husband, Father, and Grandfather was called home by the Lord on August 13, 2013 at the age of 83. Henry celebrated his 60th wedding anniversary with his loving wife Jenny on July 24 of this year. Henry is survived by his 3 children John (Edna) and Tena (Paul) and Stanley (Jill). He was blessed with 9 grandchildren: Steven (Christine), Craig (Agi), Jason (Brenda), Brian (Stacey), Robert (Tiffany), Angela (Richard), Jennifer (Nathan), Hana, Jacob, and 10 great-grandchildren. Henry was born in Donkerbroek (FR), The Netherlands on April 2, 1930 and was the second oldest in his family of 6. He grew up on a farm where his love of animals began and led to a hobby farm in his later years. As a teenager he began an apprenticeship in Carpentry and would follow this as his chosen career. In 1950 he met the love of his life Jenny and was married on July 24, 1953. After a few years, a decision was made to immigrate to Canada so the family left for Edmonton Alberta. They lived there for twelve years until Henry decided to start his own construction company in Abbotsford BC so the family moved west. Henry took comfort in his faith and was an active member in the church community. He loved his family and took great interest in their well-being. Henry never lost his sense of humor. He was always willing to help others. Henry will be greatly missed but we will take comfort that he will finally be able to rest in the arms of his Lord and Saviour. A memorial service for Henry will take place on Monday, August 19, 2013 at Living Hope Christian Reformed Church, 34631 Old Clayburn Rd., Abbotsford B.C. at 1:00 in the afternoon. We are deeply grateful for the loving care of the medical team on the Palliative unit at ARH.
