DEPRESSION When darkness takes over
ALADDIN ON STAGE
Abbotsford’ s Erica Schmidt, 59, went missing on Oct. 5, launching the city’s largest volunteer effort to locate a missing person. As the weeks passed, details emerged about the struggle the beloved mom and wife had with depression. When her body was found Jan. 1 in a heavy brush area off Whatcom Road, it was revealed that Erica had taken her own life. Soon after, her husband Henry publicly shared Erica’s story, resulting in a further outpouring of community support and messages from many who said they had faced similar struggles in their own lives.

He had been diagnosed not long before with bipolar disorder – characterized by episodes of severe depression interspersed with manic periods – and attention deficit disorder. He decided to endure the initial side effects of his medications, and he began therapy to deal with his painful past. Mark learned that this condition had a genetic component – his dad had also suffered from depression – which was aggravated by the turmoil he had faced in his life. He began opening up to others, including his wife, who was also able to share with him how his behaviour had impacted her over the years. Sadly, she died of cancer in December 2005, but Mark felt fortunate that they had a period of peace before her passing. He still experiences the occasional “slump,” but now knows strategies to cope. “You need to keep reaching out and not believing that voice that says, ‘It doesn’t matter’ because it always matters … I tell myself, ‘The storm always passes.’ ” Mark now shares his story in hopes that it will help others
t was 5 a.m. and Mark Henter was having trouble sleeping, so he flipped through the channels on TV. He came across a show where people were dancing. They looked carefree, happy and uninhibited. Mark couldn’t fathom those kinds of emotions and he wondered how anyone could let loose like that. His world was dark and heavy, as if he always had a truck tied to his back. Everything felt dim and lifeless, and it was a struggle to get from one minute to the next. Mark destroyed relationships and hated himself, while desperately desiring acceptance. At 25, this feeling had pervaded his being for many years, in combination with periods of wild, reckless behaviour. Major depression had set in when he was about 16. Mark had been sexually abused – by more than one person – starting at around age 12. He didn’t tell anyone for a long time. He missed so much school that he failed Grade 9 three times. He drank and smoked and stole things. In 1979, when Mark was 17, he lost his only sibling – his 23-year-old brother – and a year later he made his first suicide attempt, coming close to succeeding. His rage exploded at inexplicable moments and without warning. At other times, he would come home from having an otherwise good day and burst into tears. At 19, he woke up in the hospital with no memory of what he had done or how he got there. Mark was placed in the psychiatric ward, but he felt ashamed, embarrassed and weak. He was placed on anti-depressants, but they made him sleepy so he stopped taking them. He decided he merely needed to “pull up his bootstraps” and get his life together. He met his wife to be not long after, but his behaviours continued. He had a fierce temper that would unleash itself with no warning. Periods of depression would last for months, and he would stay in bed, VIKKI HOPES Abbotsford News unable to work or socialize.

FAST FACTS T Twenty per cent of Canadians will personally experience a mental illness in their lifetime. T Approximately eight per cent of adults will experience major depression at some time in their lives. T About one per cent of Canadians will experience bipolar disorder (manic depression). T Suicide accounts for 24 per cent of all deaths among 15- to 24-year-olds and 16 per cent among 25- to 44-year-olds; 4,000 people die each year by suicide. T A complex interplay of genetic, biological, personality and environmental factors causes mental illnesses. T Almost half of those who feel they have suffered from depression or anxiety have never gone to a doctor about this problem. T Once depression is recognized, help can make a difference for 80 per cent of people who are affected. Source: Canadian Mental Health Association (www.cmha.ca)

Margert Tomkinson has received support from Creative Centre Society’s Abby House, and leads a peer support group there.
argert Tomkinson awoke one day and screamed when she saw the strange man in her room. She didn’t know where she was or how she got there. The shocked and startled man explained that he was her husband and that she was home in bed, but Margert didn’t recognize him or understand what was happening. She was soon diagnosed with having had a major heart attack and stroke, the latter of which damaged the portion of her brain that affects memory. Then 50, Margert had no recollection of the previous five decades, including her childhood, wedding day, marriage, career as a cook, or her two daughters or six grandchildren.

QUESTION
OF THE WEEK
Local bus drivers vote to strike
Would it affect you if local bus drivers went on strike?
Doesn’t this technically save Abbotsford money? Every day we don’t run the losing transit system, we save more money, right? Kirk Chorm
To answer, go to abbynews.com
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
I have been stuck behind some of these big polluters blowing black. Can’t see how transit helps the environment. Hope to see them all off the road. Lukas Harder
The price of a single stamp has just gone up to $1. Do you care?
Noooooo. The buses are so full during work and school hours. Aymee Leake
129 responded:
I hope they don’t strike, as there are a lot of people in this community that rely on bus service to get around, including high school and university students. Melissa Wiebe

Removing the problem from sight In one of the first editions of your paper this month there was an article which indicated several parties were cooperating in finding a solution to the tent camps, and that the ADBA (Abbotsford Downtown Business Association) was contributing $10,000 to this effort. Part of the solution was a suggested two-acre industrial site. I find it ironic that the ADBA was so concerned that the C7zoned area might be compromised with a non-conforming use such as the Abbotsford Community Services-proposed housing project.
However, no mention is made of any objection to the similar non-conforming use for the suggested industrial site. Not only that, but the city would have to relent on the usually required on-site and off-site improvements, as well as the required sanitary sewer connections. It seems once again the ADBA’s intention is not to get the homeless off the street but remove the problem out of their sight. Would you not agree the facts speak for themselves?

Spring is coming! Now is the time to think about your weight loss plan and allergy defence.

If everyone makes small changes like that, we can make a better future for a better Earth. Gabrielle Hanson, King Traditional Elementary School
begins; normal Canadian politics
If the Salvation Army, along with the city, had bought the land for sale by the building where they have offices and a store, they could have built a co-ed building with a place for buggies and those who can’t sleep inside, as well as a place to shower, do laundry and eat. It could have easily been done, not costing loads of money. But now we are paying people to think what can be done. As normal in Canadian politics, we need to spend more money before the project even begins. Joanne Roe, Abbotsford

And that means polar bears are starving to death, which makes their numbers decrease. But how are we making this happen? The main reason is factories. When we use fuel to make things, we pollute the air and the fuel also makes heat. Another reason is cars and trucks, because they burn gas, and that

We are learning in class about melting sea ice and global warming. We read an article about how global warming affects polar bears. I really want to change global warming so that the polar bears have the icebergs they need to survive. First off, I truly disagree that global warming is natural. Icebergs do melt in the summer, but we are causing them to melt faster than normal. Most mother polar bears swim for miles and days just to find a shrivelled up iceberg to

DID YOU KNOW? The red building on our Trethewey House Heritage Site was originally the Upper Sumas BC Electric Railway station. The station’s original location was on the corner of Vye and Lamson roads. The Railway Line, which skirted the southern shore of Sumas Lake, was completed from New Westminster to Chilliwack in 1910. The back of the station rested on a stilt construction and railway tracks along Sumas Lake were raised due to flooding in times of high water.

The new infrastructure will bring clearer voice calls and faster Internet access. “In the past year, we have hosted many high attendance events including Carrie Underwood, tobyMac and Eric Church,� said Jason Blumenfeld, AESC general manager. “... this new service from Telus will allow our fans to easily capture and share the event so they can relive those memories down the road.�
The wireless connection for Telus and Bell customers at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC) is set to improve following a half-million dollar investment by Telus. The telecommunications giant announced Tuesday that a distributed antenna system (DAS) has been installed throughout the arena, which will allow smartphone and tablet users uninterrupted voice and Internet service during big shows. The use of wireless data at big events has exploded in recent As the tax filing deadline approaches, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) would like to remind Canadians with low or modest incomes that volunteers are available in Abbotsford to assist with the preparation of tax returns. Each year, through its Community Volunteer Income
Tax Program, the CRA links with community organizations to train volunteers to complete basic tax returns. The groups hold tax-preparation clinics where the volunteers donate their time to help people with simple-tax filing situations, complete their income tax and benefit returns, free of charge.

Untreated hearing loss tied to lower earning potential Maximizing one’s ability to hear well should be part of any smart career strategy. Individual performance in an organization is found to be directly related to listening ability or perceived listening effectiveness. In fact, listening is one of the top skills employers seek in entry-level employees and in those being promoted. People who both hear and listen well are also more likely to establish positive working relationships with bosses, clients, and colleagues. An alarming new study by the Better Hearing Institute (BHI) reveals a direct correlation between unaddressed hearing loss and earnings.

Groups benefit from civil forfeiture funding Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley to receive $100,000
Abbotsford is receiving $127,330 in pro-
ceeds from the civil forfeiture office (CFO)
to support the prevention of violence
against women and youth crime preven-
tion initiatives. Three local groups will be receiving the money. The Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley (Warm Zone) will get the majority of the funding ($100,000). It will go towards buying a van to help with reaching vulnerable women in
the community. The Abbotsford Police Department’s domestic violence unit will use the funds to buy a vehicle equipped with seats suitable to safely transport children and their parents in high-risk cases involving domestic violence. The police are also
receiving $5,000 to buy anti-theft devices for the vehicle theft prevention program. The CFO is self-funding and proceeds of forfeited property are used to compensate victims and support local crime prevention and remediation efforts through the use of grants.
Firefighters’ awareness video The Abbotsford Fire Fighters Association has made a video to create awareness about what they do on and off the job. Association vice-president Wade Wood said the video was produced to “show the public what we are doing when we go by with lights flashing and sirens blaring, or if you see us out at a public function when we are off duty.” The career firefighters in Abbotsford have been affiliated
with the International Association of Fire Fighters since 1982 and are designated as Local 2864. The video can be viewed at YouTube at http://tinyurl.com/ kvtxu77. The local also has a Twitter account (@IAFF_Local_2864) and a Facebook page (“Abbotsford Fire Fighters Association Local 2864”).

Do you wonder how much you can afford to buy with today’s interest rates? Well with many lending institutions recently lowering their rates to as low as 2.99%, you might be pleasantly surprised that for every $100,000 of mortgage the monthly payments work out to about $472.73/mth. Or putting it another way, when negotiating an offer on a property, for every $1000 you might consider going up in the price you’d be willing to pay, your payments would only increase by about $4.70 To really get an idea of how much you can purchase, give me a call or drop me an email to be put in touch with a mobile mortgage professional that will get you approved in minutes.

Pair plead guilty for stabbing
What will you miss today because you won’t hear it?
Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
A man and a woman each charged in relation to a stabbing that took place in Abbotsford last August have pleaded guilty. Michael Allan Froese, 29, pleaded guilty on Monday (April 7) in Abbotsford provincial court to assault causing bodily harm, while Nicole Carlson, 37, pleaded guilty to assault. They are scheduled for a sentencing hearing on May 29. Police were called to the 33500 block of Switzer Avenue – off McCallum Road – on Aug. 10. When they arrived, they found a 33-year-old man suffering from multiple stab wounds. He was airlifted to hospital with critical injuries, but survived. Froese and Carlson were arrested later that day. Froese previously served time for the fatal stabbing of Paul Denis – also known as Paulie Pockets – during an altercation on Sept. 2, 2009 at a home on Hopedale Crescent. He pleaded guilty and in August 2010 was sentenced to four years for manslaughter. Froese was released in September 2012, after credit for time served was taken into account. Carlson has a 2010 conviction on two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. She was sentenced to a two-month prison term.

Volunteers tackle key traffic issues
Volunteers in Mission and Abbotsford contributed more than 1,200 hours to help reduce speed-related crashes last year and handed out 3,800 notices to help prevent auto crime, according to ICBC. These volunteers participated in the Speed Watch program, in which they used radar and set up speed-reader boards supplied by ICBC to show drivers the speed they’re travelling. The program is often set up at high-crash locations and in school and playground zones. Donald Miller, local ICBC road safety coordinator, said research shows that these programs work, with more than 70 per cent of drivers travelling 10 km/h over the speed limit slowing down when they see a speed-reader board. Volunteers also often partner with police who will ticket drivers who don’t slow down after seeing their speed on the reader board. Volunteers also operated the Lock Out Auto Crime program, posting notices resembling parking tickets onto the windshields of vehicles, many with valuables in sight, offering drivers tip to protect themselves from becoming the victims of auto crime. They also oper-

100-year-old culvert needs repairs
A collapsing century-old culvert in west Abbotsford will need about $750,000 in repairs. Emergency repairs are needed to fix the partial collapse of a roughly 100-year-old culvert at Waechter Creek, at the Simpson Extension Road. City staff say there is significant potential for further collapse, which would lead to upstream property flooding, with a potential washout of a 22metre high fill embankment and the sanitary sewer trunk main within it. It could also negatively impact FortisBC gas lines and a downstream en-

vironmentally sensitive habitat. Staff predict the project will cost about $750,000 and is expected to be completed by August 2014. The collapse is most likely due to the age of the pipe, the height of land over the culvert and the large trees growing there. The culvert was installed in the early 1900s to allow the railway to build the 22-metre embankment across the small valley.

Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask! 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-

B.C. Human Rights Code prohibits discrimination Legal-Ease
If you, or someone you know, have been the victim of discrimination, a complaint must be filed with the tribunal, in most cases within six months of the alleged discrimination occurring. If six months has
passed, a complaint may still be accepted by the tribunal under certain circumstances. Once a complaint has been received, the tribunal can either dismiss the complaint or hear it. If your complaint is
dismissed, it may not be because it holds no merit, but rather the tribunal may believe that there is a better forum for the hearing of your complaint (for example, the courts), or the complaint occurred
outside of B.C. If you are not sure if you have a valid human rights complaint, contact a lawyer to discuss your options. But remember, there are always limitations periods in play when it comes to
human rights concerns. For more information on Human Rights complaints and the process, visit: bchrt.gov.bc.ca or talk to a lawyer. Sheri Yakashiro is an associate lawyer with RDM Lawyers in Abbotsford
and Mission. Sheri practices in the areas of labour and employment law, personal injury law, family law and civil litigation. Comments or questions about this article can be sent to legalease@rdmlawyers.com.
Sheri Yakashiro
Every person in Canada has human basic rights, and in British Columbia, these rights are defined in the Human Rights Code. The purpose of the code is to promote full and free participation in all aspects of life, to promote equality in both dignity and rights, to prevent discrimination, to identify and eliminate discrimination, and to provide remedies for those who have been discriminated against. The code prohibits discrimination on a number of grounds, including race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religion, political belief, age, sex, marital status, physical or mental disability, family status, sexual orientation, or criminal conviction. The code does allow for some exceptions, for example: certain rental accommodations are allowed to restrict its tenants to 55-plus years of age. One successful human rights case was Morris vs. ACL Services. Mr. Morris had been employed for approximately seven years when he took time off work due to a diagnosis of anxiety and depression. He had applied for short-term disability (STD) benefits and despite two appeals, his application was denied. He then applied for long-term disability (LTD) benefits, which were also initially denied. Mr. Morris appealed the LTD decision and his employment was terminated before the appeal decision was made. At the BC Human Rights Tribunal hearing, Mr. Morris alleged his termination was a result of discrimination because of his disability. The tribunal ultimately found the employer to have acted prematurely in its decision to terminate Mr. Morris’ employment. Mr. Morris was awarded $10,000 for compensation for injury to his dignity, feelings and self-respect, as well as reimbursement for the medical expenses incurred by him.

Star goalie Joni Ortio’s poise sparks the Heat Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
Abbotsford Heat head coach Troy Ward has a passion for posture. After a blowout loss, he might grouse at the post-game press conference that he didn't like the Heat's passive posture – evoking a slouching, back-on-the-heels image. After a victory, he'll often credit an aggressive posture within their team systems. All of this is to illustrate that when Ward refers to goalie Joni Ortio as the team's backbone, it's mighty high praise. "Our posture changes when he plays," Ward explained, going back to the well for one of his favourite terms. "Because [his teammates] have confidence in him, they have confidence in themselves."

Confidence can be a hard commodity to quantify, but Ortio’s impact on the Heat in 2013-14 isn’t difficult to detect. The 22-year-old from Turku, Finland carried the load during Abbotsford's hottest stretch of the season – 13 wins in 14 games beginning in late October and extending through most of November. Conversely, when the Heat endured an eight-game losing skid in February/March which dropped them from first place in the Western Conference to fifth, Ortio was conspicuous by his absence – he was on recall with the Calgary Flames. He returned to the Heat in late March, and it's no coincidence that they've righted the ship of late, winning four of their past five games to clinch a playoff spot. Add it all up, and Ortio's got a compelling case as the Heat's MVP, though the players who took turns carrying the team offensively – Ben Street, Chad Billins, Markus Granlund and Max Reinhart among them – also have an argument. He added an AHL award to his resumé on Wednesday, as he was voted to the league's all-rookie team. "It's exciting to be recognized like that, but it doesn't just speak to the way I play – it speaks to the whole group," said Ortio, who's posted a
24-8 record with a .924 save percentage (third-best in the AHL) and a 2.37 goals against average (eighth) this season. "They've been unbelievable throughout the year, making my job that much easier." That team-oriented approach has been crucial to Ortio's success this season, according to Ward. "He's matured, these last couple years, beyond belief," Ward explained. "The guys want to play hard for him because of the way he treats them. "That, to me, is one of the new intangibles of goaltending – does a team want to compete for him? . . . He might be technically a good goalie, but do these guys want to lay down and block a shot for you?" Ortio, a sixth-round pick by the Flames in 2009 and Finland's starting goalie at two World Junior Championships, had a rocky introduction to North American pro hockey. In limited action with the Heat in 201011 and 2011-12, he posted a 1-5 record, a 3.36 goals against average and an .876 save percentage. He made huge strides last season, though, playing in his homeland for HIFK Helsinki. He played 54 of the team's 60 regular season games and backstopped the club to the second round of the playoffs, and the workload helped him hone his consistency.
Abbotsford Heat goalie Joni Ortio has been named to the AHL’s all-rookie team. This season, upon returning to Abbotsford, Ortio encountered some early adversity. After watching from the bench as Reto Berra got the Heat's first four starts of the campaign, he was sent to the ECHL's Alaska Aces, with rookie Laurent Brossoit coming up to replace him. The rationale was to get Ortio some game action while exposing Brossoit to the tutelage of Heat goalie coach Jordan Sigalet, but the demotion was still less than thrilling. Ortio excelled, though, posting a 1.01 goals against average and a .944 save percentage in four appearances with the Aces. When he and Brossoit switched places again on Oct. 28 and Berra was recalled by the Flames less than a week later, he

was ready to wrest the lion's share of the playing time in Abbotsford away from veteran Joey MacDonald. "I'll be honest – it's not fun [going to the ECHL]," Ortio acknowledged. "Now, reflecting back on it, getting those games in was probably a good thing. Because when I came back up here, I jumped right back into action.” In February, a knee injury to Flames starter Karri Ramo opened the door for Ortio's first NHL recall. And when Berra was subsequently sent to the Colorado Avalanche at the trade deadline, he made nine starts, fashioning a 4-4 record with a 2.52 goals against average and an .891 save percentage. "It's a thing that every kid dreams about," he said. "It was a ton of fun,
for sure, and I felt pretty comfortable out there. That's what I've been feeling like all year – that I'm ready to make that step. I kind of proved myself, that I can actually play up there." After Ramo returned to health, the Flames sent Ortio back to Abbotsford, where his presence has "a calming effect", Ward said. "We have a lot of systematical rules . . . this you can do, this you can't do," Ward explained. "When Joni gets in there, instead of black and white, it becomes a little bit grey. "We feel we can do different things within the system – we have different little liberties about how we play. That wasn't right away, that developed over time. As his confidence grew, our confidence grew."

As they gear up for the most important home games in franchise history, the Abbotsford Pilots find themselves in an unfamiliar position. Next Thursday, when they hit the ice at Abbotsford Recreation Centre (ARC) at 9 a.m. to open the Keystone Cup – the Western Canadian junior B hockey championship tournament – it will have been five weeks since they last tasted game action.

– touch wood – so we should be ready to go.” The Pilots’ traditional home rink, MSA Arena, isn’t available for the Keystone Cup because the ice is being removed to make room for box lacrosse. And while the Pilots would surely prefer to be in the friendly confines of their own locker room, Cowden believes that playing on the larger Olympicsized ice sheet at ARC will benefit his squad. “I like playing on the big ice,” he asserted. “Most of our guys can really skate.

ed in the Pacific Junior Hockey League semifinals by the eventual league champ Aldergrove Kodiaks. But due to their status as Keystone Cup hosts, they’ve got new life as of next Thursday. The big question is: Will they be rested, or will they be rusty? The answer is probably somewhere in the middle, but head coach Jim Cowden prefers to focus on the positive. “It gives us a sense of excitement, like we’re almost starting all over,” he said. “The mood is good. “We’re completely healthy

Olympic-sized ice at ARC could benefit hosts
“The thing that scares you mostly is, you can’t be running around in your own zone, otherwise you can really get tattooed. That’s something we have to focus on.” “Me personally, I like it,” Pilots captain Braeden Monk echoed, pondering playing on the big ice. “I’m definitely not the fastest guy out there, but it gives me a little bit more time to think and make plays with the puck. I think it’ll help us. We’ve got pretty good team speed, and we play a quick game.” The Pilots will be seeking their second Keystone Cup in three seasons – they won the 2012 title in Saskatoon. Four players from that team – forwards Brady Lawlor, Brad Parker, Jarrett Martin and Colton Cowden – are still on the roster, lending valuable experience to the host squad. “Two years ago, my rookie year, I had a chance to go to Westerns, and that was a big deal,” Lawlor said. “But having a chance to play at home in front of family and friends this time is going to be exciting. The one thing that was lacking at Westerns there was crowd size, and I know that here, we should get a decent crowd out. “(Succeeding in a tournament) is about preparation and taking care of your body. You’re playing two games a day on average, so you’ve got to get home, rest up, get good food in you.” Pilots owner/general manager Jack Goeson called the Keystone Cup “a big event for our organization, our city and our league.” To that end, he’s running plenty of promotions throughout the tourney – figure skating performances by the Abbotsford Skating Club during intermissions, appearances by the Abbotsford Heat and Chilliwack Chiefs mascots, and local dignitaries and athletes dropping the puck for pre-game ceremonial faceoffs. The Pilots are one of six teams at the Keystone Cup – they’ll be joined by champions from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northern Ontario. The Blackfalds Wrangers (Alta.), Saskatoon Quakers
(Sask.), Selkirk Fishermen (Man.) and Thunder Bay Northern Hawks (Northern Ont.) have already punched their tickets to Abbotsford, while the B.C. representative will be decided this week-

The club seeks to help swimmers reach their competitive potential, while infusing a sense of social responsibility by encouraging their athletes to take part in initiatives like helping out needy families during the holiday season, or participating in the Abbotsford Run for Water fundraising race. The Olympians have had great success this year at all levels of provincial competition. At the recent AA B.C. championships in Chilliwack, McKenna Postles and Maddie Charest both broke club records en route to AAA qualifying times – Postles in the 400-metre freestyle and Charest in the 200m breaststroke. lya Taranenko was a first-time finalist in the 100m free and posted several other great times, while Katie Charest also had a solid weekend with several best times. Prior to that, Olympians swimmers competed at the Lower Mainland regional championship in Richmond, with outstanding results coming from Taranenko (first, 100m free), Postles (first, 800m free), Katie Charest (third, 100m free), Brooklyn Gerber (second, 50m breaststroke), Daisy Davidson (multiple medalist in 50m free, fly and breaststroke), Peyton Smith (multiple medalist in 200m breast, 50m breast, 200m free, 400m free) and Jayme Reitsma (second, 50m free; third, 50m fly).
National glory for wrestlers Local grapplers storm podium in Guelph Abbotsford wrestlers excelled at the cadet (age 15-16) and juvenile (age 17-18) national championships in Guelph, Ont. last weekend, and an all-Abby clash in a gold medal match was among the many highlights. Justin Gill, a Rick Hansen Secondary senior, met W.J. Mouat student Amrit Benning in the 69-kilogram freestyle final in the juvenile boys division, with Gill emerging victorious by a 12-2 score. Benning bounced back to win gold in the Greco-Roman discipline, though. Other local standouts included double gold medalists Nishan Randhawa and Navdeep Toor. Randhawa won the juvenile men’s 85 kg freestyle and also emerged victorious in the FILA cadet trials, which decides priority access for national team wrestling assignments over the summer. Toor matched that feat by winning gold in the 46 kg cadet freestyle and the FILA trials. Other podium finishes came from Devin Purewal (bronze, juvenile boys 76 kg; gold, Greco-Roman), Arshdeep Gurm (bronze, cadet boys 76 kg; gold, FILA cadet trials), Navdeep Dhillon (gold, cadet boys 54 kg), Mickey Khehira (gold, 85 kg, FILA cadet trials)

Hignell helps B.C. to gold Jason Hignell, a rugby player from Yale Secondary, helped Team B.C. win gold in the under-18 division at a renowned sevens tournament in Hong Kong. The provincial side won all three of their pool-play games at the Standard Chartered Bank International Youth Sevens without surrendering a try – they beat the Singaporebased DHL Lions (49-0), the DEA Tigers (35-0) and the Flying Kukris (47-0). The final was a different story, as they were taken to doubleovertime by a local side, the DP Pirates. B.C. ultimately prevailed 12-7. Hignell was one of 12 players on the squad, and he notched a try during pool play.

variable valve timing, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The two base engines available are a solid 2.4-litre four-cylinder and a 2.5 version, both of which are likely adequate for commuter use. I headed straight for Highway One and it positively purred along the long, clear stretches open to the daytime driver. Great acceleration in take-off and passing with limited lean and sway when cornering at speed. Back in urban madness, it offered a good view of fast encroaching vehicles from side streets and the rear. I mention this because I expected the sleek window profiles might hinder views, especially to the rear. Hence, it was also not as much of a beast to park at the supermarket as I had feared. Light steering also assisted in that manouevre. On the urban performance front, the transmission took the annoyance out of stop-go traffic. Have to think it was gulping gas though in smoothing out the urban trek. The Impala with the V6 starts at $32,945 (around $3,000 more than the 4-cylinder-equipped versions) but the test car options, which included rear park assist, rear vision camera, collision and lane departure alerts, premium audio, sunroof, added another $7,000. It will compete with the Dodge Charger and Ford Taurus domestically and a host of imports. Now to my reservations: the fuel economy for the V6 is 11.1/6.9L 100km (city/highway) and while that is not bad for a large car, it’s not the best in its segment. The four-cylinder eco version is impressive at 8.7/5.8L 100km (city/ highway). That said,I don’t think fuel economy will be a deal breaker for most people. My continued reservations really boil down to reliability. It’s a brand new car and we should wait a couple or three years before anointing this car as the best domestic sedan ever. That caution should not stop you from taking one for a spin. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

A Ford Euro car for the Americas runabout with go-cart-like handling and a stylish little package.
Looks For 2014, all Fiesta models get a minor facelift with a new front grille and headlights. The ST is easy to spot because of the black honeycomb grille with an ST badge, bigger alloy wheels, a rear spoiler hanging over the rear window, a bigger rear air diffuser with twin exhaust tips and blacked out trim around the windows. The ST looks like it means business. There are two exterior options that might be worth the money. Upgraded paint colours like ‘Molten Orange’ or ‘Green Envy Metallic’ cost $400 and the smoked grey wheels with red brake calipers cost $500 more. The base ST at $24,999 comes very well equipped and is ready to cause some trouble.
by Zack Spencer
Ford has done an excellent job of using its worldwide expertise to bring some very practical, yet fun to drive, small cars to North America. Using Europeans to build the Ford Focus and Fiesta for a worldwide market enabled the manufacturer to bring these superb-handling cars virtually unchanged to our shores. On top of that, Ford is also selling its sportiest ST versions of both these cars. The Focus ST was introduced last year and this year we get the Fiesta ST “hot hatch.” I’ve been a huge fan of the Fiesta. In fact, I prefer it to the bigger Focus, it is a perfect city
Inside The first thing that pops right out on the ST interior are the two heavily bolstered Recaro
sports seats. These are not meant for big people, you just won’t fit. They are snug and supportive but lack some simple, yet important adjustments. The front of the seat sits much higher than the back so your backside is very low with your knees pointing up. This produces a sporty feel initially but on longer trips, the lack of adjustment prevents the driver from being able to stretch their legs. The dash has been updated to include a MyFord Touch screen for radio, phone, navigation and climate functions. The screen is rather small and far away from the driver, which makes accessing the small, virtual buttons on the screen a challenge. However, it does look much better than the older Fiesta dash. The ST comes standard with very powerful front seat heaters, automatic climate control, a fat leather steering wheel with redundant radio controls and a leather-covered manual shifter.
The back seat has always been tight in the Fiesta; this is perfect for a single person or couple, not the best for a family.
Drive In an era of cars that almost drive themselves, the Fiesta ST is a throwback to a time when the driver felt connected to the machine. The suspension is much firmer than the regular Fiesta, almost harsh over bumpy roads but the feedback to the driver through the tight steering ratio, firm chassis and the grippy Recaro seats is superb. The turbocharged, direct injection 1.6L Ecoboost engine pumps out 197hp. Its only sold with a super-slick manual transmission that shifts with no effort at all, and the clutch is precise.
In such a small car, this engine lets the driver do pretty much anything at will. Want to pass on the highway? No problem. Want to scoot away from a traffic light? No effort at all. This really is a car that does everything very well, including getting good fuel economy when the throttle is used lightly: using only 7.8L/100km in the city and 5.6L on the highway.
Verdict At $24,999, the price might seem a bit steep for a subcompact car but this little machine
comes almost fully loaded for that price. The options available are not “must have” items so the price can be kept in check. This Fiesta ST is a gem in the subcompact class, delivering great economy, fabulous interior and plenty of smiles. The ST just delivers much bigger smiles.

gave him all the wrong answers. And, I didn’t tell him the camper was way too heavy for the truck to be safe. He also asked for a vehicle history report. I pulled the CarProof report out. I mean, I had nothing to hide. He asked me what “rebuilt*” meant. I told him that, because of the small accident, the transmission needed to be rebuilt. Oh, but I’d altered the sections detailing the amount of damage. Judging from his English skills, I’m sure he didn’t understand the difference. At least he was trying. He got an “A” for effort. I hope he figures out that the truck and camper would be unsafe on the road when he gets it fully loaded with passengers, fuel and gear. Good thing I have my “no returns” policy! Yes, I know what you’re all thinking. This is the lowest of the low. But you have to understand. I was slightly manic about this whole thing. At this point, I would do anything to make a sale and get myself another wallet full of cash.
*Rebuilt - This status is assigned to “salvage” vehicles after they have been repaired and have passed inspection. Vehicle status alone does not fully describe a vehicle’s mechanical condition or damage history. This applies to RVs, motorcycles, cars and trucks.

Thank goodness, the stolen vehicle was behind me. Did I feel bad? Yes. Does it make me a bad person for selling a stolen vehicle? Probably. But to outsiders, my life hasn’t changed. I’m still the same old Walt. Oh, if they only knew. I was on a roll. To my disbelief, I’d sold seven cars already. I guess you could say it was a part of me now – I “flip” cars on the side. And, I was branching out – with a truck and camper. The truck had been rebuilt. It was roadworthy again. I even had the inspection records to prove it. And the camper? That was marketing genius. When I put it up for sale, I fibbed. But only a little bit. “Truck for sale. Fixed after fender bender, looks new. Includes camper. It’s been in an accident, so I’m selling both for a low price. Great for family adventures. Call if interested.” Shortly after, I got a call. The man had a distinct, charming accent. He asked me what a “fender bender” was. I explained that it was a small accident. He seemed pleased and asked to meet me the next day. I assumed he was relatively new to the country, so I thought this would be an easy sale. Boy was I wrong! He’d gone to “new immigrant” welcome classes, where they shared information about life in Canada. I think this was where he developed an interest in camping Canadian style. He knew all the right questions to ask. But, I

Hot laps with a world champ at the wheel Four-time World Rally Champion (WRC), Tommi Mäkinen, is behind the wheel of the 2015 Subaru WRX STI at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in the middle of nowhere, California. I’m riding shotgun along with two others in the back. The ease and effortlessness in which he wrangles the 305 turbocharged horses of the Subaru via the 6-speed manual gearbox is really no surprise. After all, he’s not a
champion because he looks good doing it. So, if the pro can make it look and feel as perfect as a summer’s day, I should be able to as well, right? I slip into the captain’s chair of the STI – without Tommi in the car, thank goodness – and take to the 3.1-mile track. Prior to the hot laps, I had driven the outgoing 2014 Subaru STI on the same course. I’d be back-to-back testing these all-wheel drive machines to see how the engineering prowess
has, yet again, continued to make a vehicle with a cultlike following even better. Rewind a few hours to the start-of-the-day’s press conference.
Masuo Takatsu, WRX STI Project General Manager, mentioned the modus operandi of the fourth generation STI was to create a vehicle that behaves as the
drivers expects it to. Mission accomplished. Though I didn’t even come close to Tommi’s performance, that wasn’t my goal.

beauty. It would be sacrilege if I didn’t insert some technical jargon into the reasoning why the STI scored big points on the road test. Without getting too deep into the engineering, here are the top three take-home points of this incredible vehicle. One: The increased use of high-strength steel makes for a stiffer and stronger body, and decreases its tendency to twist and bend in corners. Resulting in a more predictable handling sedan that stays firmly planted to the ground. Furthermore, the 2015 STI achieves 16 per cent less body roll than before. Two: You have the practicality of added dimensions. There is 25mm added to the wheelbase, there are 900mm more legroom in back and you get 20L more cargo space. Three: The Base WRX and STI don’t have a rear spoiler. The Sport and Sport-tech WRX has a trunk lip spoiler and the corresponding STI trims have the “table for six” or very large spoiler! Perhaps it’s also sacrilege to not put the emphasis of this review on the design and engineering of this new generation of STI. After all, it has been re-imagined inside and out. But anyone who knows the vehicle is aware that it is in a class of its own, with few competitors that can come close to the emotional appeal that this sedan brings to the market. Now, for those who are looking for similar excitement but not as many ponies, fear not, Subaru has

Ann Adrian Sept. 1928 - April 2014 Ann Adrian passed quietly away into the arms of her Heavenly Father on Monday, April 7, 2014 after a brief illness. Ann is survived by her loving husband Henry; children, Verna, Heather, Eleanor, Ron, Jim, Rick and spouses; 18 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. Ann was a loving wife, good mother, much loved sister and sister-in-law. She was a playful person, and loved all her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren dearly. They were the flowers in her garden, and she rejoiced in their beauty as she watched them grow. Ann was trained as an LPN before her marriage to Henry, and this proved very helpful as they raised their busy family. In her long and energetic lifetime, Ann was a Pioneer Girl’s Leader, sang in a gospel trio, and taught Sunday School. She liked basketball, scrabble, quilting, playing guitar, gardening, crafts, and so much more. She even hiked the West Coast Trail and Mt. Cheam with her friend Katie and their teenage sons. Ann was a good “running mate” beside Henry, her husband of 61 years, and helped in his lifetime work of building. Ann will be dearly missed by all her family and friends. We love you. We miss you. Funeral Service to take place on Saturday, April 12 at 1:00 pm at Northside Community Church, 33507 Dewdney Trunk Rd, Mission BC.

MARCELLUS, James 1919 - 2014 Born on January 28, 1919, in Williamsburg, Ontario. Died April 4, 2014, in the Abbotsford Hospital. Predeceased by eldest
sons John and Jim. Survived by Cathy, wife of 67 years, and children, Chris and Libby. Husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, doctor, gardener, friend. Forever loved. There will be a private farewell.
NIGHTINGALE, KEITH It is with deep sorrow that we share the peaceful passing of Keith Nightingale, on April 4, 2014, with his family by his side. Keith was a man of integrity, who held himself to a high moral code. He possessed an infectious sense of humour, and effortlessly put others around him at ease. He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Anita, sons Steven (Sue) and Chris (Robyn), three precious grandchildren: Mikalya, Desiree and Cohen, brother-in-law Jeff (Lori), niece Justine and nephew Mike. Serving and protecting his community was Keith’s calling, and he proudly served as a Police Officer for 37 years. He began his career with the Vancouver Police Department, but spent the majority of his years as a highly respected member of the Abbotsford Police Department. While passionate about policing and family life, Keith also found joy in playing hockey, canoeing, bike-riding, reading, walking his beloved dog L.T., and taking long sunny drives in his shiny red Camaro, with his favourite lady by his side. A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held at the Rancho on Thursday, April 17th, at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Thank-you to all the medical professionals who provided care, compassion and first class treatment to Keith. He was a vibrant, strong, loving and genuine man who will be greatly missed.
Edward John Haak, of Old Clayburn Road, Abbotsford, BC passed away on April 1, 2014 at the age of 82 after a brief battle with cancer. He was predeceased by his parents Henry and Helen Haak, his first wife Elisabeth, his second son Don, and a great-grandson Josiah Haak. He is survived by his second wife Marie, children Dennis (Alita), (Bev), Lorne (Lydia), Gord (Chrystal), Betty-Lou Hildebrandt (Ron), stepson Brent Birch, 4 siblings, 17 grandchildren, and 19 greatgrandchildren. Ed was born near Hepburn, Saskatchewan on October 6, 1931. The family moved to Black Creek, Vancouver Island when he was 4 years old and later to the Mt. Lehman area when he was 16. Ed spent the early part of his career with H.B. Contracting supervising infrastructure projects such as pipelines, bridges, and reservoirs. In 1966 he purchased his father’s dairy farm in Mt. Lehman, and over time expanded and improved the operation. He retired from farming in 1995. Ed volunteered for many years in his local church, as a music leader, choir member, and deacon. Ed will fondly be remembered as a follower of Jesus, an avid fisherman, a skilled handyman, and for his generosity to family, friends, neighbours, and those in need. The family would like to thank Dr. John Chan, a number of specialists and the staff at the ACE and Oncology units of Abbotsford Regional Hospital who provided medical care for Ed during his final weeks. A memorial service was held at Ross Road Community Church on April 7, 2014. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made out to Compassion Canada or Transport for Christ. Online condolences to the family may be made at www.woodlawnfh-abbotsford.com

He is survived by Olga, his devoted and loving wife of 35 years. He will be loving remembered by many generations of relatives including the Retzlaff and Papou families and missed by countless friends at the Abbotsford Baptist church where he was a long time member. He is predeceased by his parents Peter Papou and Helen Papou. Born on March 21, 1932, Alex grew up in Humbolt, Saskatchewan and in his teens moved to Nelson, BC. Alex eventually moved to Vancouver and worked for CP & CNCP Telecommunications. In 1978 he married the love of his life and they moved to Kelowna in 1980 where Alex worked until his retirement from CNCP in 1987. After retirement Abbotsford became home. A special thanks to the staff at the Menno Home who took such good care of Alex over the last few years. A reception will be held to celebrate Alex’s life on Friday, April 11, 2014 at 11:00 am at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Rd, Abbotsford, BC.
