High school student assaulted with baton Police recommend charges against 16-year-old attacker
Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
A 17-year-old student was assaulted with a collapsible baton in the boys’ locker room at Rick Hansen Secondary School on Friday, allegedly by another 16-year-old student. Const. Ian MacDonald of the Abbotsford Police Department said the incident began with a verbal altercation between two other students. The 17-year-old became involved in the argu-
ment, telling one student to leave the other alone. A friend of the other student joined in with the baton and started hitting the victim. The young man was struck several times on the head and the leg. Kevin Godden, school district superintendent, said staff were brought in and broke up the fight before calling 911 for an ambulance. MacDonald said that after the ambulance was called, police were notified and responded
to the scene. Police arrested the 16-year-old and are recommending charges of assault with a weapon and possession of a prohibited weapon. MacDonald said the young man was taken into custody and then released to his parents on the weekend. The 17-year-old was taken to hospital and received treatment to multiple injuries, most

T
he scraggly signature of Abbotsford lawyer Bob Kuhn is less recognizable by the day. That’s one of the last tasks Kuhn still does by hand. Since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2006, the 61-year-old no longer writes. Nor does he type on a keyboard. Instead, he uses voice recognition software, one of the countless changes that his life has undergone in the last years. Kuhn is one of six “everyday heroes” in a new documentary by the Parkinson Society British Columbia, called ‘Undefeated: An Intimate Portrait of Parkinson’s.’ The 60-minute film aims to show what it’s like to live with the degenerative disorder, and how day-to-day tasks mercilessly test a person’s positive outlook on life. Although Kuhn may look like an ordinary guy, he has a quiet inner confidence and a high resistance to stress that has allowed him to adapt to the many humbling experiences of living with the disease. He describes the illness as an “intense and continuing mid-life crisis” – an incessant tap on the shoulder, forever distracting from life. “Everything changes. It’s not overly dramatic to say that everything changes. Because what starts to change is inside, in your head,” said Kuhn, who has practiced law at Kuhn LLP Legal Counsel in Abbotsford for over 20 years. “The biggest issue is loss of hope. Not just hope in the big fix, but hope

everyday.” It’s easy to want to turn inward when the newspaper Kuhn is reading rattles around like he’s in an earthquake. Holding a spoon full of soup at an executive meeting, or tying a tie, or holding somebody’s hand for more than a few minutes, tries Kuhn’s patience in new ways. Driving is another challenge, as Kuhn ends up gripping the wheel to keep the tremor under control, which can stress and cramp the arm. His foot on the gas pedal will also jerk. But Kuhn has converted even this

into a positive. Instead of driving, he spends more time on his Honda Goldwing 1800cc, a big touring motorcycle that he says Harley Davidson riders refer to as a “couch on wheels.” It’s more comfortable and easier to handle than a car, requiring just smooth curving movements and doesn’t cause Kuhn’s muscles to seize. The avid long-distance rider has recently donned his Kevlar jacket once again to hit the four corners of the continental United States. Last year, Kuhn completed his firstever trip around the world. Over 10 weeks, he visited 17 countries to interview people living with Parkinson’s and have them relate what their expe-

riences have been like. He also spoke with researchers and neurologists studying the disease, and blogged the whole trip at positivelyparkinsons. blogspot.ca. “I thought I was going to slow down, but I guess I don’t know how to slow down. Maybe it’s that slowing down feels like I’m giving up,” Kuhn said. In spite of the disease, Kuhn is busier now than he has ever been in his life. As of July 1, 2013, the Trinity Western University alumn has become the school’s interim president. “I’m passionate about the school. I think it’s a fabulous place for students. The kind of environment that can’t be repeated,” he said. Although his appointment is technically temporary, there is no scheduled end date for the man who has been involved with the school for four decades. He is so comfortable in its halls that students might see him sit down at their cafeteria table for a chat during lunch hour. “I get so excited about what they’re learning, what they’re experiencing,” said Kuhn. He brings that passion not just to TWU and to the law office, but to inspire others with Parkinson’s to live with hope. Kuhn loves speaking with those who were recently diagnosed and are in panic mode, assuring them it doesn’t have to be that bad. “What spurs me on is to encourage others,” he said. “If I can feel comfortable in my own skin, despite the tremors, with the tremors, then I hope it helps other people feel comfortable.” ‘Undefeated’ is available on Shaw Cable’s Video on Demand until Dec. 30, 2013.

Mobile shelter for homeless Small prototype considered a step up from a tent
Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
Some of Abbotsford’s homeless residents might soon have a drier place to sleep thanks to the combined efforts of the 5 and 2 Ministries and the Fraser Valley Atheists, Skeptics and Humanists group (FVASH). Ward Draper of 5 and 2 and Jeff Gruban of FVASH came together to build a pilot project of a mobile sleeping unit for the homeless. The prototype is currently being used by a man named Jesse and Draper said “he loves it,” adding that their goal is to build more soon. Draper said the shelters will cost about $150 to $200 to build and are made out of plywood with industrial strength wheels and castors. He said the structures – which are about two metres long, one metre wide, and over a metre at the centre – are also cov-
ered in a clear sealant to stop water from leaking in. He said the prototype has a coffee can mounted in order to hold a candle, which keeps a fire contained and is much safer than candles kept in tents. Draper said the concept is superior to tents, as not only does it increase safety, it helps to keep people warm and therefore healthier. “We’re going to be saving a lot of people from getting very sick with bronchitis, pneumonia, lung infections and cold and flus.” Draper said he and Gruban hope to roll out about 40 units in the next couple months, getting people off the ground and out of wet tents and into a place that is dry and warm. He said they will start to consult with people on the streets to find out how the project will work best and

rently conducting a review. He said students occasionally have altercations, but “it’s rare for it to get physical – and even more rare for it to involve a weapon.” The school has given the alleged assailant an indefinite suspension – the highest level. Godden said that as a part of “due process,” the student will have a hearing at the board office within 10 days, where he and his parents can make their case. Staff will then de-
termine the proper course of action, which could include expulsion from the district. Godden said the school district’s protocol is to teach students the code of conduct – which states weapons are banned from any school building. “That’s communicated to every child, in every grade, in every year.” He added that the school district will complete a review and a debriefing of the inci-

dent and if any gaps in current protocol or procedures are noted in the process, they will be amended. Godden said Rick Hansen Secondary is a special school that has won awards for being an anti-bullying environment, and though staff and students are shaken, measures will be taken to ensure students feel safe. “No place is impervious to violence, but you can do your best to mitigate it.”

Final thoughts
Twenty-four years. When you say it out loud, it doesn’t sound like much, but for the past quarter of a century I have been sitting in the Abbotsford newsroom attempting to inform the public about myriad events in the community. But no longer. I’m starting a new career, as editor of the Nelson Star, another Black Press publication. Tomorrow is my final day at the Abbotsford News – don’t tell my editor, but it’s unlikely I’ll do much work that day – and the time has come for reflection. During my career, I’ve covered everything from sports to business to arts to council meetings. I’ve met a lot of great people, and some not so great. At the tender age of 25, I was covering Abbotsford council (then the smaller of the two councils when compared to Matsqui). That’s where I first learned about
how passionate the community could get over “controversial” issues – like strippers. Yes, a civic ban on strippers was my first “big” series of stories – controversial and polarizing. During one public hearing, a man stood at the podium, banged his hand down, pointed at me sitting at the media table and told everyone in council chambers that I was “going to hell” for writing about it. Apparently I had presented both sides of the stripper debate instead of condemning it outright. It was my first (and definitely not the last) taste of criticism, and as my career and the city grew, weightier issues would arise. I was on hand to witness the amalgamation of Abbotsford and Matsqui, along with the hunt for the Abbotsford Killer. I covered the Western Canada Summer Games, watched Mary Reeves shock the community by knocking off Mayor George Ferguson and then saw Ferguson regain his title three years later. More recently I have covered issues including the Plan A projects, the Abbotsford Heat contract/deficit and the much maligned P3 water proposal which
cost Mayor George Peary his job. While issues are important, it’s the funny moments I’ll remember most. I recall sitting at a press conference and having Mayor Peary walk by and suddenly kiss me on the top of the head. Why, I’m not sure. He didn’t call... didn’t send flowers... During the recent provincial election, while conducting a sit-down interview with Premier Christy Clark, I was rendered speechless by the Liberal leader. After asking her a question, Clark looked at me deadpan and said she wasn’t willing to answer the questions of a Chicago Blackhawks fan, referring to my signature shirt. She was kidding. My job has allowed me to speak with politicians and artists, rock stars and cancer patients. In this line of work you meet a lot of people. Speaking of which, I’ve worked with some of the best. I’ve had four different editors, each with their own style and view of how a newsroom should be run. From Mark Rushton to Gord Kurenoff, and Rick Rake to Andy Holota (my current commander-in-chief), I have managed to glean much-needed guidance, advice, inspiration and the odd butt-kicking from each of them.
I hope I can be half as good an editor in Nelson. I’ve also learned so much from my co-workers – a surprisingly large number of them. With little effort I can think back to at least 18 newsroom work mates who have come and gone during my tenure and now I’m adding my name to that list. I leave behind a mix of talented individuals who will serve this community well. From the poker-playing sports guy, to the new(ish) council reporter and a talented veteran who has been here almost as long as me, the newsroom is in good hands. They are truly the best friends I have ever had, despite what I tell them. Finally I have to thank the Abbotsford News for the most important thing it has done for me. I have gained experience, I’ve made friends, I’ve learned more than I thought imaginable and I’ve received a pretty hefty paycheque. However, the News is also where I met my wife, Pearl. The one who never doubted me, always supported me and said the magic words “Nelson, why not?” She’s a gift I’ll always treasure. Goodbye Abbotsford – for now!

Handling of aboriginal funding affects increases Recently some Canadian aboriginals demonstrated in New York demanding more funding by the Harper government. Various aboriginal leaders across B.C., including some in this area, have complained to Ottawa about underfunding. My reading of the public mood is that despite the acknowledged historical mistreatment of many aboriginals, it will be difficult to generate support for greatly increased government funding. Unfortunately, the misuse of government funds on some reserves has negatively impacted the views of many Canadians. My available data, quoted directly or indirectly from government records, reveals the following financial realities. Importantly, all funds were received
tax free! Chief Shirley Clarke of the Glooscap Nation “and her three councillors were each paid more than $200,000 last year [2010] for running a band of only 300 people, fewer than 90 of whom live on the reserve.” “One of those three councillors was paid an additional $728,000 [yes $728,000] for doing other reserve jobs ...” Attawapiskat’s band chief, the well-known Theresa Spence, was paid “about $83,000 for overseeing the hamlet of just 1,700 people.” Incredibly,
this tiny settlement is governed by 14 paid chiefs and council members; two paid administrators; five paid unelected officials; 12 paid “education authority” officials; and a “daycare manager” paid $45,276. In 2010 “160 First Nations politicians earned more than their provincial premiers, and ... 50 chiefs earned as much money in a year as the prime minister’s annual salary of $315,000.” In 2009 “at least 200 [‘native chiefs’] were paid more than their
RUN
provincial premiers.” In B.C., 18 earned more than the premier, and in Alberta, 47! “On one reserve of only 304 members in Atlantic Canada, the chief earned a total tax-free income of $243,000” in 2009. Given the above, it’s no wonder that a 2013 Ipsos Reid poll revealed that “More than four out of five Canadians don’t want more money sent to aboriginal reserves” unless the handling of funds by aboriginal leaders improves.

New trials for Butorac

WITH THESE PRICES, OUR 2013s ARE MOVING QUICKLY.
Wins appeal of murder convictions Frank BUCHOLTZ
2000
Black Press
Davey Butorac has been granted new trials, after winning an appeal of his conviction of murdering two sex trade workers. The Aldergrove man had been found guilty in 2010 of murdering Gwendolyn Lawton, 46, of Abbotsford in March 2007 and Sheryl Koroll, 50, of Langley on July 7, 2007. The B.C. Court of Appeal judgment was released on Thursday. Legal arguments were made in court on June 12. Lawton’s body was found on March 13, 2007 in a rural area of Abbotsford, while Koroll’s body was found in an industrial area of Langley City in the morning of July 7, 2007. She had been seen alive a few hours earlier. The convictions were set aside by the appeals court on the basis that the trial judge erred in accepting “the evidence of each murder as similar fact evidence with respect to the other.� Butorac’s lawyer had argued before the initial trial that the two counts should be separated, but LAWTON the judge disagreed. The Court of Appeal website says “The murders occurred four months apart. The trial judge found the victims had some similar personal characteristics, their bodies were left in similar positions, and both were brutally beaten. “Both parties and the trial judge agreed, however, that these features alone were insufficient to constitute the high degree of similarity required for the admission of similar fact evidence. The critical factor was that the DNA or blood of both victims had been found in a Chevrolet Cavalier owned and driven exclusively by the appellant (Butorac). “There was persuasive evidence the vehicle had been involved in the death of one victim. With respect to the second victim, the trial judge recognized the evidence was not as conclusive, but decided that two objects found in the vehicle had the same characteristics as “patterned� injuries observed on the victim, and that the presence of her blood and DNA without innocent explanation indicated she had been in the Cavalier in close proximity to her death.� The appeals court says the trial judge erred in concluding the evidence met the high standard of striking similarity, required to justify the admission of similar fact evidence. It ordered new trials on both murder charges. Butorac is also due in court on a third murder charge, likely in early 2014. He is charged with murdering Margaret Redford of Aldergrove in 2006. Jury selection for the trial had been planned in February, but was postponed until November.

Youth group meets with city council
Fifteen teens representing almost every high school in Abbotsford had a chance to get to know their city councillors a little better on Sept. 30. The youth are members of the Abbotsford Youth Commission’s Youth Council, which was involved in a “meet and greet” at city hall with the mayor and councillors. The event began with everyone meeting as a group and then moving into the “speed meeting” portion. The students were given five-minute slots to move from office to office, interviewing the mayor and councillors. They were then matched with the politicians and given time to set up their next meetings. Throughout the school year, the youths will have the opportunity to have a one-on-one meeting, attend an event, and attend a committee meeting with their councillor. During Youth Week, in May 2014, the teens will sit with their councillor at a city council meeting as a culmination of their year-long experience. The Youth Council is a group of youth from all over the city who get together to discuss issues that they are facing, learn leadership skills, and give input into youth programs and services.

Search will continue for missing woman
Police and volunteers are still looking for any information on the whereabouts of missing Abbotsford woman Erica Schmidt. The 59-year-old has not been in contact with family and friends since she left the home she shares with her husband on the morning of Saturday, Oct. 5. Since her disappearance, volunteers have put up posters across the city and handed them out at events. Const. Ian MacDonald said police are working closely with SCHMIDT volunteers while officers are continuing to canvass for relevant information. He said police have received reports of sightings from the day Schmidt went missing, as well as reports of sightings from outside of the city, all of which must be followed. But MacDonald said some of the reports came days after the sighting actually occurred. He said if anyone sees Schmidt, police should be notified as soon as possible in order for officers to follow the tip immediately. Schmidt is 5’4”, 140 pounds with short brown hair and blue eyes. Anyone who thinks they have seen her is asked to call the APD at 604-859-5225 or text abbypd (222973).
Impaired drivers nabbed during holiday weekend Abbotsford police handed out about 140 violation tickets on Thanksgiving weekend during Operation Impact – a national road safety campaign to enforce laws against high-risk driving activities. About 50 per cent of the tickets were for distracted driving or using cell phones, 23 per cent were for excessive speed and 13 per cent were for impaired drivers. Const. Ian MacDonald of the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) said police dealt
with 17 individuals for impaired driving over the four-day period. He said that with many people on the roads for the holiday weekend, the number of impaired drivers is concerning. “I don’t think it’s comforting to know there were a minimum of 17 people who were driving impaired on our roadways.” MacDonald said despite people knowing that distracted and impaired driving is wrong, the levels of both have been “alarming” this year.

Chamber calling for grant applications The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce has called for small community organizations to submit grant proposals. The Chamber grant program was created to provide financial assistance to non-profit, community-based organizations that provide direct programs, services, or activities that enhance the quality of life for Abbotsford residents. Earlier this year, the board of directors established a fund of $2,500 to be provided for grant purposes. “We recognize that there are many smaller organizations
with specific project needs but lacking the facilities to generate their own fundraising,” said Abbotsford Chamber president Mike Welte. He said they are hoping to attract funding requests in the range of $500 to $1000 per request and organizations don’t have to be Chamber members to apply. The program will fund projects, events or activities that support and sustain, promote, inform or educate, celebrate, preserve and/or provide access to the arts, culture, environment, heritage, and social ser-
vices and health. Applications will be assessed by a panel of board members from the Chamber based on merit, economic impact, community impact, ability to meet goals and recognition. Organizations must complete an application for the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce Community Grant. Complete details and grant applications are available from the Chamber website at http:// abbotsfordchamber.com/pages/ Grant or the Chamber office. Deadline for submission of a grant application is Nov. 8, 2013.

Every Girl Matters
The first annual CNIB Night Steps Fraser Valley raised $32,000!
Government proclaims day to recognize girls’ rights Local MLAs proclaimed the first Every Girl Matters Day at the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford on Friday. The GirlKind Foundation of Abbotsford hosted a celebration for the day on Oct. 11, after the organization asked the provincial government to proclaim the day throughout B.C., in conjunction with the UN’s Day of the Girl. The days are both intended to recognize girls’ rights and the unique challenges they face around the world. Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong and Abbotsford-Mission MLA Simon Gibson presented the proclamation to members of the foundation. Deesh Sekhon, founder of the GirlKind Foundation, said the proclamation sends a strong message that B.C. is a province “that stands up to the injustices that girls face in their own local backyards as well as our

months instead of the standard six. “As a cancer patient, you schedule your life around your treatment, which then takes over your body with fatigue and other side effects,” said Hiltgen. “If patients can be safely treated with less chemotherapy, they can carry on with life a lot sooner. Clinical trials are one of the stepping stones to improving the quality of life for patients, so it is very important to support the advancement of such initiatives.” According to Dr. Muhammad Zulfiqar, medical director of the Clinical Trials Unit at the BC Cancer Agency Abbotsford Centre, clinical trials enable physicians to provide the highest level of care to cancer patients. “Patient care has improved so much over the years because of clinical trials. The knowledge we have acquired from trials have contributed to the development of treatments for some types of cancer that were previously incurable, and have led to better survival rates,” said Dr. Zulfiqar. “Clinical trial units across the BC Cancer Agency’s regional centres are some of the best examples of how the rapid translation of research discoveries into new, more effective clinical practices occurs. The clinical trials program at the Abbotsford Centre is therefore an extremely vital initiative to support,” said Douglas Nelson, president and CEO of the BC Cancer Foundation. One in three British Columbians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.

Felger alleges police misconduct

Find the right candidate here...
Vancouver Police Department will conduct investigation Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
A complaint filed by pot activist Tim Felger alleging police misconduct will be investigated by the Vancouver Police Department (VPD). The decision was made recently by the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner (OPCC). In his complaint to the OPCC, Felger alleged that the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) damaged his security system, destroyed a computer, failed to return thumb drives and parts of other computers, broke a camera, and made slanderous comments about him to the media. The items were seized by the APD in May 2009 as part of a drug investigation involving Felger when he operated his Da Kine store on Essendene Avenue in Abbotsford. Police Complaint Commissioner Stan Lowe ruled that some of Felger’s allegations are inadmissible because they were made past the one-year deadline to file a complaint. But Lowe agreed the claims that Felger’s property had been damaged and that some of his property was not returned to him should be investigated further to determine if there was any police misconduct. He said having the APD’s professional standards section conduct the investigation

store. The judge in the case ruled that a search of the store was improperly conducted by police and breached Felger’s charter rights. The acquittal has been appealed by the Crown, and is slated to proceed in December. In June of this year,

Communities request goose kill permits Tom FLETCHER Black Press
B.C. communities are again seeking federal and provincial help to keep the Canada goose population under control by killing geese that are fouling beaches and parks. Delegates at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention endorsed a resolution from Osoyoos, to address a problem that plagues many B.C. communities. Thompson Nicola Regional District director Tim Pennell told the conven-
kill permits are federal jurisdiction. Geese and their droppings are a chronic problem in other areas. A local resident wrote to the Abbotsford News in July, complaining that “there is so much goose poop on the paved trails that it’s like navigating through a minefield.” On Vancouver Island, golf courses hire dog handlers to chase geese off fairways, sometimes shifting the problem to the next golf course. Farmers also struggle to protect crops from geese and deer, which have proliferated as hunting has declined.
tion that beaches around area lakes are being “destroyed” by geese, and their droppings are triggering beach contamination warnings that affect tourism and local residents’ recreation. The Osoyoos resolution notes that addling goose eggs has had limited effect, and hunting regulations prevent culling in recreation areas. It asks for the Canadian Wildlife Service to issue more kill permits. Failing that, they want the province to issue permits. In 2011 the UBCM asked senior governments for help controlling geese in parks, and the B.C. government said

Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent. Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home. Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold. This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-
served for the real estate agents and their clients. This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home. To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811. This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.

The top supporter for a fundraiser for the blind held in Abbotsford last month was not a man who has a personal knowledge of blindness. Rather, Roy James, a member of a Vancouver Lions Club, was inspired to act by deaf/blind activist and author Helen Keller. “Long, long ago we were challenged by Helen Keller to be knights of the blind, and we accepted that challenge,” said James. This year, James raised over $7,000 for the CNIB in Abbotsford. CNIB is a non-profit that has been supporting Canadians who are blind or partially sighted since 1918. The organization held its inaugural Night Steps Fraser Valley event, a fivekilometre fundraising walk, on Sept. 20 at
Submitted photo
Roy James has personally raised more than $130,000 for the CNIB. Mill Lake. About 170 participants raised over $30,000. James has been fundraising for CNIB for 27 years. In total, he has pulled in more
than $130,000. The non-profit has named James the top fundraiser in Canada for Night Steps. “Truthfully, I wasn’t really expecting any
story or to be number one. I never do it for that reason. I just think that being blind would be such a challenge for people and you lose your independence in a lot of ways. I just couldn’t picture life without being able to see,” he said. Every time he does the walk, James tries to experience blindness. “I always put on a blindfold and a cane so I can appreciate how blessed we are when we have our sight,” he said. “I had a friend close by, if I run into trouble. Which truthfully, I do from time to time. It’s not as easy as it looks. Actually, it’s not easy at all.” The Vancouver branch of CNIB no longer organizes a Night Steps event, which is why James, a Vancouver resident, participated in the Abbotsford walk.

Funeral comedy in Mission
SUBMITTED PHOTO
The cast of Dearly Departed, a comedy centred around a family funeral, rehearse in preparation for Friday’s opening.
Turn your junk into cash!
Mission’s Opening Nite Theatre Society is presenting the play Dearly Departed. When Bud Turpin drops dead at the breakfast table, the whole family comes together to mourn and say goodbye. However, when his family gets together, nothing goes easily. With the likes of his fiery fundamentalist sister and her lazy philosophical son, his contented widow, the two sons who alternately fight and ally, and a whole host of quirky side characters, this funeral is anything but boring.

Shock
rock icon Alice Cooper brings his Raise the Dead tour to AESC been around for 45 years, the audience wants to hear the hits. We understand that,” Cooper told the Abbotsford News.
Kevin MILLS ABBOTSFORD NEWS

“I never wanted to go for the cheap
shock. I don’t want bad language on stage, no nudity, no Satanic stuff. If we do something shocking it has to be because it’s clever and it’s got to have an underlying sense of humour to it.” Originally thought of as a fad, Cooper quickly put a string of hits together, making the music industry take notice. “Suddenly they had to take us as seriously as Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones. That’s when I think they began to understand that the Alice character was a character.”

Between the vines with Kathleen Rake
Wine under $10: Spanish Verdejo A little bit about how I rate wines using QPR, quality-price ratio: I rate a wine’s QPR at excellent, good or fair, depending on what I determine its value to be when considering the quality of the wine compared to its price. In order for a wine to achieve a rating of excellent, it has to go far beyond what I would expect at the price point in terms of flavour, structure and complexity. A fair rating means the wine is clean and non-offensive, but I’d likely not buy it for myself or serve it to others. Good is attributed to a bottle of wine that delivers flavours typical of the grape, has some layers of complexity and would be easy to pour for guests, given the right circumstances.
WHITE WINE: Santa Cruz de Alpera Verdejo 2011 PRODUCER: COUNTRY: GRAPE/BLEND: PRICE/ABV:
THROUGH THE EYES: Pale yellow with a hint of green. ON THE NOSE: Green apple, citrus, suggestion of tropical fruit, yeasty. ON THE PALATE: Citrus, green apple, pleasantly bitter at the finish, watery mouthfeel. OVERALL: Aromas burst at first pour, but settle quickly. Pleasant and fruity, with flavours typical to this grape; however, it is not going to get any better with age and should be consumed right away, before it loses all its verve. SERVE IT: Drink this wine with tapas (especially green olives), seafood or salad dressed with a vinaigrette. BUY IT: BC Liquor Stores for a reduced price of $9.09. QPR (QUALITY-PRICE RATIO): Good, especially at its current price point.
Santa Cruz de Alpera Spain (DO Almansa) Verdejo $9.09/12.5% ABV

Long career a shock to Cooper FROM 33
He said every day, a fan will approach him and tell him how his music impacted their lives. “I’ve actually had kids say ‘Hey, y’know if it wasn’t for that song Hey Stoopid, I was ready to kill myself. “It’s a real compliment and then all of a sudden you kind of realize that there is a responsibility in what you say.” Looking back, Cooper said it’s hard to believe that he’s still creating music. When he released his first album, one reviewer referred to it as a “tragic waste of plastic.” Others had similar opinions. “They were saying ‘Here’s a band that really isn’t very good but their show is great. Take away their show and they’ve got nothing.’ Those people had to eat crow when we had two number one albums in a row and there was no show behind it. It was just the albums.” The rock ’n’ roll lifestyle of the 1970s took a toll, he said.

“If you would have told me when I was 25 and getting loaded every night, that at 65 I was getting ready to go out on a 100-city tour … I would have said you were so out of your mind. “And if you would have told me Ozzy was still around and Iggy was still around and Lou Reed was still around I would have said you’ve got to be insane because none of those people should be alive, especially me.” But, having given up alcohol years ago, Cooper is still on tour, bringing his new Raise the Dead tour to Russia, the U.S. and Canada. He said Russian fans have some

amazing stories, considering his music was banned in that country for years. In the 1970s and ’80s, the government newspaper labelled Cooper as “the worst example of Western depravity” and said he would never step on Russian soil. “A lot of them (Russian fans) come up to me and say ‘I had your albums when I could have gone to the gulag because of them.’ It’s really interesting to hear these people say that they bought my albums on the black market, at risk of going to jail. That’s what kind of fans they are.” The show he will present in Abbotsford is divided into three parts. The first is “Glam Alice” which features all the glitz, sparks and make-up. The middle of the show is dedicated to “Nightmare Alice,” the darker, theatrical side which includes the use of straightjackets, a guillotine and a character Cooper refers to as the insane nurse. The third scene begins with the nurse wheeling Cooper’s body into a graveyard. The audience soon learns that it contains the “Hollywood Vampires” – the nickname Cooper gave to his old drinking club. “It’s sort of a dedication to all my dead, drunk friends.” Cooper will perform in Abbotsford on Nov. 14.

GHOSTS IN THE PUMPKIN PATCH Using bananas and small oranges, you can create the appearance of ghosts haunting a field of pumpkins. Peel both the oranges and the bananas and place small chocolate chips into the rounded “head” of the banana to create a ghost face. Use a piece of green gummy candy or something that will hold its shape to create “stems” for the orange pumpkins. Place the ghosts and pumpkins on a platter or in a bowl for a healthy and festive snack.
WITCHES’ BREW
SCARY GRIN
Create a punch recipe that bubbles and looks like a witch’s evil concoction. Put two quarts of lime sherbet for a green punch (or orange sherbet if you prefer an orange punch) in a punch bowl. Add a two-liter bottle of ginger ale and one can of pineapple juice. Feel free to float “eyeball” peeled grapes or gummy worms in the brew for a more authentic effect. If available, add a piece of dry ice to the punch so it bubbles and fizzes.
Turn a whole watermelon into a jack-o’-lantern and fill with fruit salad. This makes for a refreshing treat and provides an alternative to candy.
GHOULISH GRAVEYARD What would Halloween be without a haunted graveyard? With a few tasty ingredients, you can recreate this classic look in a rich dessert.
Cut the watermelon as you would a pumpkin and hollow out the insides to use for the salad. Add sliced berries, grapes, apples, pears, and any other fruits you desire.
Crush graham crackers and mix with melted butter and sugar to create a cookie crust. Press into the bottom of a baking pan. Prepare some chocolate pudding to pour on top of the crust and allow it to set . Then sprinkle crushed chocolate cookies on top to create the appearance of soil. Push some roundededge, oblong cream-filled cookies into the pudding as tombstones. Decorate with candy worms, to serve se gummy skeletons and any other candy items that gumm can a add to the look.

such as a bright-green pullover sweater topping a plaid shirt – a great casual look for the guys when paired with jeans. Other times, they make a statement in a key piece such as a burgundy blouse or a yellow pencil skirt.
If you’re uncomfortable with too much colour, turn to some bold accessories. Nothing makes an ensemble stand out like a bright structured purse or a bold chunky bracelet.

Halloween costume TRENDS Many Halloween costumes have stood the test of time. Trick-or-treaters are bound to come up against fellow ghosts, vampires and zombies each Halloween, while popular movies also set trends in Halloween costumes. If you are among the throngs of people ready to transform into a mythical, heroic or mysterious creature for Halloween, consider these costumes that figure to be popular this season. IRON MAN: Robert Downey Jr. has starred in yet another installment of this popular film. This robotic suit that turns an ordinary person into an evil-fighting maven will once again be popular this Halloween. THE LONE RANGER: Despite flopping at the box office, this Johnny Depp film may still have people dressing up in eye masks, western hats or Native-American-inspired face paint to pay homage to its classic characters. SUPERMAN: Speaking of superheroes, few have been as prolific as Superman, and he figures to be just as popular this Halloween
thanks to the success of the summer blockbuster “Man of Steel.” MIKE WAZWSKI: The central character from “Monsters University” figures to be popular among young Halloween enthusiasts this year. MINION: Thanks to the release of “Despicable Me 2,” yellow bean-shaped minions figure to be popular this Halloween. BIRDS AND PIGS: Each new version of the “Angry Birds” franchise provides opportunities for fans to dress up as projectile feathered friends and their porcine foes. ANNIE: This year marked the return of the red-headed orphan to the stage, and many children may be anxious to don her signature dress and red curls and belt out their own renditions of “Tomorrow.”

Broadcaster Astle living the dream Dan KINVIG ABBOTSFORD NEWS
Back on Oct. 4, as Abbotsford Heat play-by-play man Brandon Astle prepared to go on the air for his first regular season broadcast with the AHL club, he paused to savour the moment. He’d been calling games since he was 10 years old – mind you, those initial forays into the discipline were during street hockey games with friends on a cul-de-sac in his native Port Coquitlam. Now, at the age of 24, he’d already made it to the pro ranks. That morning, in the bowels of Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena where the Heat would play their regular season opener vs. the Lake Erie Monsters, he’d spotted Kyrie Irving and Anthony Bennett, stars of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers. Players whose names he would call in the evening AHL game were just one step away from the NHL. This was big-time. “It gave me chills,” Astle said, reflecting on the moment.
e Brandon Astl nnouncer eat A Abbotsford H
Astle was hired by the Heat in August following five seasons with the B.C. Hockey League’s Langley franchise, and he’s found that the differences between junior A and pro hockey go beyond exchanging long bus trips for cross-continent flights. “The speed of the game is a lot quicker,” he noted.
“And dealing with the players on a day-to-day basis, they have families, whereas in the BCHL with 16- to 20-year-olds, their only worries in life are trying to get rid of their zits. That’s an interesting dynamic.” Astle’s job is one that many sports fans would envy, but there’s a lot of work that goes into every broadcast. Each opposing team the Heat face prompts hours of research, as Astle strives to get a handle on name pronunciations, stats and hockey backgrounds of players in order to enrich his play-by-play. “The preparation starts right after the previous game,” he said. “You’ve got to know what you’re talking about. “I found out firsthand in the preseason game (vs. the Utica Comets) – I said a stat or two wrong, and I got tweeted right away by some fans. They’re not stupid. They try to know their stuff just as much as me.” Such feedback may come on occasion, but Astle loves his job without reservation. He’s no different than any of the Heat players he covers, in that his ambition is to make it to the NHL in his area of expertise. “I wake up in the morning, and it’s not, ‘Ugh, I’ve got to get up and go to work,’” he said. “I’m lucky to have a job like this at the professional level.” Astle’s Heat broadcasts can be heard on CIVL 101.7 FM and teamradio.ca.

myhealth A fun fitness challenge
Exploring natural remedies As prevalent as prescription medications are, all-natural remedies for common illnesses and conditions are still a viable alternative to prescription medications for many people. But are these all-natural options safe? In 2011, Apple founder Steve Jobs lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. Reports indicate that Jobs delayed surgery and other traditional treatments for almost a year while he participated in holistic treatments for the cancer. Some of these included juice fasts, bowel cleansings, acupuncture, herbal supplements, and even a vegan diet. Eventually, Jobs had surgery, but some feel he waited too long. Although conventional care is often an effective means to treating illnesses and other conditions, there are many doctors who agree that implementing natural remedies at times can be safe and effective. Furthermore, some traditional medicines are actually derived from natural, plant-based ingredients themselves. Those thinking about incorporating natural remedies into their health regimen can consider the following options.
NERVOUSNESS AND ANXIETY: Try lettuce, chamomile, valerian, and rose petals. PAIN RELIEF:Use omega-3 fatty acids, green tea, ginger root, and tumeric.
If you think conquering cancer is worth sweating over, JOIN US! Register for Workout to Conquer Cancer today.
ITCHINESS: Witch hazel, jewelweed and aloe vera are effective. FEMININE ISSUES: Parsley, basil and goldenseal can alleviate symptoms associated with menstruation. ANTIBIOTICS: Oregano and garlic are purported to have antibiotic qualities and can fend off harmful bacteria. INFECTIONS: Honey has been used to heal and as an antibacterial and antifungal remedy. Although natural remedies can be effective, it’s important for pregnant women to avoid any herbs and plant supplements until discussing the risks/benefits with their doctors. Also, some natural remedies can interact with prescription drugs or increase their potency, so it’s important to talk to a doctor about any plans.
Conquering cancer isn’t easy, but that doesn’t mean supporting BC’s cancer researchers can’t be fun! Join us for the Workout to Conquer Cancer on March 8, 2014 at Richmond Olympic Oval for the most meaningful workout of your life. It’s a full day of upbeat workouts for people of all fitness levels.

Back on the Big Break Lepp makes second appearance on TV show alongside NFL stars Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
When James Lepp traveled to Puerto Rico in early June, he didn’t know exactly what was in store. The 29-year-old Abbotsford golfer knew he’d be participating in Big Break, a reality show on the Golf Channel. And he knew he’d be among a group of returning contestants – Lepp was the runner-up in the 2012 edition of the show, Big Break Greenbrier. The twist was, Lepp and his fellow contestants were grouped into teams of three, comprised of one male and one female Big Break alumni, along with a retired NFL star. Lepp and Meghan Hardin were placed on a team with former Washington Redskins quarterback Mark Rypien, the MVP of Super Bowl XXVI. Other NFL alumni on the show include Jerry Rice, Chris Doleman, Tim Brown, Marc Bulger and Al Del Greco. “It was a surprise – none of the contestants had any idea,” Lepp recalled with a chuckle. “I’ve become an NFL fan over the last decade, playing fantasy football, but when the guys started walking out, I had to start
wracking my brain to try to figure out who these guys were. They were a little bit before my fantasy football time, aside from maybe Marc Bulger. “Obviously Jerry Rice I knew. But it didn’t take long to realize what kind of football players they were, what kind of golfers they were, and what kind of people they were.” Big Break NFL Puerto Rico, which airs on Tuesday nights at 6 p.m. Pacific time on the Golf Channel, LEPP is already two episodes into the season. It’s a far different experience than Lepp’s initial foray into the show. Whereas the game was an individual pursuit at Greenbrier, Big Break NFL features team eliminations. Teams are competing for $50,000 to the winning NFL player’s designated charity, along with 2014 PGA Tour and LPGA Tour tournament exemptions, cash and other prizes for the golfers. “The first one (at Greenbrier)
felt very serious, a little bit more nerve-wracking,” Lepp analyzed. “Whereas this one, with prior contestants being joined by NFL players, felt a little more relaxed, a little more about the team, a little more about having some fun.” Lepp, the 2005 NCAA individual champion, took a step back from competitive golf in 2009 in order to launch a shoe and apparel company, Kikkor Golf. In the aftermath of Big Break Greenbrier last year, he mused about ramping up his playing schedule in 2013. That didn’t materialize to a major extent. After being eliminated in first stage of PGA Tour Q-School last fall, Lepp ended up playing just one PGA Tour Canada event this past summer – the Players Cup in Winnipeg in midJuly, which he got into on a sponsor’s exemption. “I was hoping to play a lot of PGA Tour Canada events this year, but Big Break conflicted with a few of those events,” he explained. “And to be quite honest, Kikkor has kept me very, very busy. As much as I’d like to be playing events, at the same time, the business constantly needs my attention and I don’t mind giving it.”

Cascades soccer teams battling for playoff berths
JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News
UFV’s Carly Barker (3) and Kierra Noot (10) throw up a block against Sadie Ball of the CBC Bearcats. The Cascades swept a pair of games vs. their crossdown rivals, while the CBC and UFV men’s teams split on the weekend.
Statement wins for UFV women
Dan KINVIG
Abbotsford News
On the weekend they unveiled their national championship banner in the rafters of the Envision Athletic Centre, the University of the Fraser Valley women’s volleyball team served notice they’ll be awfully tough to dethrone. The Cascades opened the PacWest regular season by sweeping a pair of games vs. their crosstown rivals, the Columbia Bible College Bearcats. The Bearcats are coming off a terrific season in their own right, winning the PacWest silver medal and earning their first trip to nationals, and they returned six of seven starters. But UFV won in straight sets on both Friday at Columbia Place (25-16, 25-20 and 25-22) and Saturday at the Envision Athletic Centre (25-21, 25-19 and 25-11). “We were pretty excited to play – CBC is a tough opponent, that’s for sure,� Cascades coach Dennis Bokenfohr noted. “A lot of people have been
talking about how CBC was ready to take the next step. But we’re going to make it hard for them, because the next step would be taking us. “With four new players in the starting lineup, it was about seeing how they would react against different pressures from CBC. I was extremely impressed with our overall defence, from the blocking to the consistency of the digs we were getting. It was fun to watch.� On the men’s side, the Bearcats and Cascades split the twogame set, with each team holding serve at home. CBC was victorious in four sets on Friday (1225, 25-21, 31-29, 25-18), and UFV rebounded for a matching four-set win on Saturday (2522, 25-21, 16-25, 25-21). Q Both of Abbotsford’s PacWest volleyball programs play at home on Friday and Saturday. The Cascades host the Douglas Royals, while the Bearcats take on the Capilano Blues. The women play at 6 p.m. and the men at 8 p.m. both nights.

The University of the Fraser Valley women's and men's soccer teams endured a rough weekend, combining for just one draw over the course of four games. The Cascades women notched that lone point, bat-
tling the Regina Cougars to a 2-2 tie on Saturday. UFV, coming off a 1-0 loss to the Saskatchewan Huskies the night before, took a 2-1 lead into halftime on goals by Amanda Carruthers and Tristan Corneil, but the
Cougars notched the equalizer. The Cascades (3-4-3, 12 points) occupy the eighth and final Canada West playoff spot, just two points up on Mount Royal with two games left. The Cascades men dropped both their games last week
by matching 2-0 scores, to the Alberta Golden Bears and the Saskatchewan Huskies, and now are clinging to the third and final playoff spot in the Pacific Division with two games left. UFV is 4-7-1 for 13 points, just three up on TWU.

Jumpstart gets kids in the game
Jumpstart has helped Andrew Taekema (right) put his three boys, including 10-year-old Seth, into football. Without the charity, that would not likely have been possible.
Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
When Andrew Taekema sets about explaining the impact that the Canadian Tire Jumpstart charity has had on his family, it doesn’t take long before
DAN KINVIG Abbotsford News
he starts to get emotional. “Without programs like this, families like ours fall through the cracks,” Taekema said. “It could be the difference between the CFL and a set of prison bars.”
Four years ago, a workplace accident left Taekema with gastrointestinal and neurological disorders, abruptly ending his 15-year career in the construction industry. On a limited income,

putting his kids into extracurricular activities wasn’t a possibility. But for the past two years, Jumpstart has helped to subsidize the registration fees for Taekema’s three boys to join the Abbotsford Falcons community football program. Since its inception in 2005, the charity has given hundreds of thousands of kids across Canada a chance to play sports by covering registration, equipment and/or transportation costs. Taekema has seen his boys win league championships, and even more importantly, he’s watched them grow as young men. He said it’s “extremely important” for them to be involved in sports. “It teaches them about team play, it teaches them how to win, and it teaches them how to lose,” he said. Pierre Welbedagt, executive director of the West Abbotsford Community School Society (WACSS), is the volunteer co-ordinator for Jumpstart in Abbotsford. WACSS, along with the Abbotsford Youth Commission and the local chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters, administer funds from Jumpstart. Welbedagt said that in the past year, 60 kids have accessed Jumpstart funds through WACSS. Another 65 kids participate in a Jumpstart academy, an afterschool sports program now in its second year. “You just name a sport, and that’s where the dollars go,” he said, noting that Jumpstart has helped kids get involved in soccer, hockey, dance, gymnastics and swimming, among others. “Kids are developing self-confidence and leadership skills . . . and they’re learning to socialize with their peers.” While Jumpstart has impacted Taekema’s kids, it’s also inspired him to get involved. He serves as the Falcons’ equipment manager, and coaches the offensive line with the Grade 8 team at Howe Middle School. “There’s a lot of takers out there,” he said, “but we also have to be givers at the same time.” To apply for Jumpstart funding through WACSS, visit www.westabby.org or call Welbedagt at 604859-6919.

Heat’s Granlund primed for AHL debut Dan KINVIG
Abbotsford News
Markus Granlund’s English, like his game, is still in the developmental stages, but he doesn’t shy away from a challenge. On Tuesday, following practice with the Abbotsford Heat, the 20-year-old rookie centre from Oulu, Finland answered the bell when local media requested an interview in advance of his impending AHL debut. During preseason stops in Penticton (for the Young Stars prospects tourney) and Calgary
only adjustment for Granlund as he transitions to pro hockey on this side of the pond – there’s also the smaller rinks and increased physicality to contend with. He got off to a terrific start at the Young Stars event, leading the tourney in scoring with three goals and an assist in three games, but hit a bit of a speed bump during Flames camp prior to the injury. Heat coach Troy Ward indicated that Granlund, the Flames’ second-round pick in 2011, could find a home on a line between big wingers Ben Hanowski and Michael Ferland. “He brings skill and speed, and

he’s got a real good passion to play the game,” Ward said. “He’s got an NHL release – he shoots the puck really well. I’m anxious to get him in (the lineup).” Q With Ortio heading to Alaska on Monday, fellow netminder Laurent Brossoit made the return trip from Anchorage to Abbotsford. The timing of the recall couldn’t have been better for Surrey native Brossoit, who tweeted on Monday that he was at home for Thanksgiving for the first time in five years.

(for Flames training camp), Granlund had spoken to media with an assist from an interpreter – goalie Joni Ortio, a fellow Finn. But on Monday, Ortio was reassigned to the ECHL’s Alaska Aces, leaving Granlund to fly solo. And he acquitted himself well. “Of course it’s always a bad thing when you’re injured,” said Granlund, who is set to get into the lineup on Friday after sitting out the Heat’s first four games with a lower-body injury. “When you’re skating by yourself, it’s not fun. When you go with the guys, it’s fun again.” The language is hardly the

Q Nelson Lokombo led the W.J. Mouat junior football team to a 34-0 win over the Langley Saints last Thursday. Lokombo carried the ball 17 times for 157 yards and two touchdowns, behind a terrific performance of the offensive line, comprised of Tim Grzechnik, Sean Roufosse, Devon Cudmore, Reuben Reardon and Gary Ghagg. Cameron Tomm also had a strong outing, excelling on offence and defence.
Q The Yale Secondary hockey academy’s under-16 boys team went undefeated at a Canadian Sport School Hockey League showcase tourney in Pitt Meadows on the weekend. The Lions won a trio of games vs. the Edge, Compete and Banff hockey academies on Saturday, and wrapped up the event with a 5-0 victory over Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday. Along the way, both of Yale’s goalies – Liam McCloskey and Brandon Kruger – registered shutouts. “Our kids executed our game plan perfectly,” coach Brad Bowen said. “We were physical, our tempo was high, and we had contributions from everyone on our team.”
Q With basketball season starting in just a few weeks, the Fraser Valley Basketball Officials Association (FVBOA) is searching for new officials to join them this season.

ON A SET OF ALL SEASON OR WINTER TIRES
Thanks to their special compound, winter tires offer the elasticity required to ensure maximum grip throughout the cold season, regardless of the road conditions. Summer tires can become hard when the temperatures fall below 7 degrees Celsius, thereby losing the flexibility needed to build up sufficient grip for braking, starting off, and cornering. Because of their greater suppleness in the cold, winter tires are able to interlock with the asphalt, snow, and ice, even at lower temperatures.

October is an important month for many things in our gardens. 1. It’s the last chance to plant garlic for harvest next July. Raised beds, sandy soil and a sunny location are key. Russian and Elephant garlic are usually the most successful in our area. Plant at a depth 3 to 4 times the width of the clove and about 4-5” (10-12cm) apart. 2. For colour in late December and January, plant yellow winter aconites and snowdrops as soon as possible. T h e y are best planted in and around shrubs or eve rg re e n perennials, like Japanese azaleas, dwarf conifers, euphorbias, colourful heucheras and new sedums, like golden Angelina. 3. Tone up your lawn, keep it green and help it bounce back quickly in spring by applying a slowrelease nitrogen fertilizer like 32-0-10. West Coast turf trials endorse this application. Now is also the time to apply Dolopril or organic eggshell lime to our lawns to prevent the soil from becoming too acidic over the winter months. 4. Bare patches in our vegetable gardens could be planted with either fall rye or Rejuvenation Mix that actually fixes nitrogen in the soil as it grows. These are great organic ways to improve the quality of your soil for next year.

5. It’s time to tidy up your roses for winter by simply pruning lightly (about 2 to 3 feet) and by cleaning up any dead wood. Climbers should be retrained on arbours and trellises and cut back to about 4 to 6 feet. Leave only 4 to 5 canes and cut out the rest. In early November, apply about 12 to 15 inches of protective mulch or even soil over the bud unions. 6. Most hedging cedars, junipers and other ‘non bud’ forming conifers can be tidied up and pruned to make them less susceptible to heavy snow damage.
Bring tropical plants indoors HALLOWE’EN Pruning of spruce trees, firs and pines should be left until the end May. Non-flowering broad leaved plants, like laurels, photinias and boxwood, can also be tidied at this time of year. 7. At the end of the month, our last two hardy annual plants must be lifted to ensure their protection for winter. All tuberous dahlias and canna roots need to be cut back, carefully lifted with forks, cleaned, dried and stored cool over the winter. 8. All tropical indoor plants summering outdoors must be inside now. They need to be thoroughly checked for insects

and stored cool (50°F) with lots of light. It is best if fuchias, lantanas and Angel Trumpets are stripped of their leaves. Keep them just moist. 9. As late summer and fall herbaceous perennials finish and look messy, prune them to the ground and apply compost or manures to build up the soil for next year. 10. Is fall a riot of colour in your garden? If not, look at all the outdoor colour potential in other gardens and in garden stores at this time of year, from compact Burning Bushes to tall thin fire engine red maples.

DICK Isabel Fraser Feb. 24, 1919 ~ Oct. 10, 2013

Survived by daughters Isabel (Alex) Stanners in Scotland; Lorna (John) Wiebe of Abbotsford; 6 grandchildren, Hazel (Gregg); Fiona (Ian); John; Julie (Jordan); Jason (Genevieve); James (Natalie); 3 great grandchildren, Ruby, Marissa and Tristan, as well as other beloved friends and family. Predeceased 41 years ago by her loving husband John. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, October 18, 2013 at 11:00 am, at the Church of the Nazarene, 2390 McMillan Road, Abbotsford. A heartfelt thank you to ALL the staff at MSA Manor for their exceptional love and care over the past 5½ years.
Joan passed away peacefully at ARH on October 10, 2013 with family by her side. She was born in Goudhurst, England and immigrated to Canada on July 1, 1958 with the family.

Joan taught us all many life lessons and she will remain in our hearts forever. The family wishes to thank the staff at ARH for their wonderful care and attention.
