Abbotsford News
An Abbotsford man who punched a bus driver three times in the head during an assault last June has shown no remorse and is at high risk for another violent offence, a Crown lawyer said during the man’s sentencing hearing on Thursday. Lawyer Simon Thomson, speaking in Abbotsford provincial court, submitted details from a pre-sentence report and a psychological assessment of Landy Pierre Falk, 27. Falk previously pleaded guilty to the assault of bus driver Dallas Warner on June 25, 2013. The attack resulted in Warner suffering hearing loss in his right ear, ringing in his head, and psychological and emotional damage that has left him unable to return to work, Thomson said. “It’s had a profound impact on him and his life and his family,” he said. The court previously heard that earlier on the day of the assault, Warner had an encounter on his bus in which Falk was verbally abusive. Warner recognized Falk later on when he and his pregnant girlfriend boarded Warner’s bus in the 2700 block of Bourquin Crescent West. When Warner asked Falk to leave the bus because of the earlier incident, Falk punched him repeatedly in the face. Defence lawyer Philip Derksen said Falk’s explanation for the attack was that Warner Continued on A4 MAZDA 3

Supervisor credited with saving recycling building Jason ROESSLE Abbotsford News
Mark Field was operating a Bobcat inside the local recycling facility Tuesday, moving cardboard onto the conveyor, when his machine started to give off a burning odour. Half a minute later, he realized it wasn’t his loader. “I could see smoke and then saw that the end of the load closest to the door was on fire,”

said the plant supervisor. Field used his machine to shove the entire 30-foot-long mass of cardboard out the large metal sliding doors, then slammed them shut. That action earned high praise from the fire department and the Abbotsford-Mission Recycling Centre on Valley Road. “He saved the building,” said Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service Asst. Chief Jeff Adams.

Thirteen taxis fail safety inspection

Officers conduct random checks on 53 cabs Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
BC’S EYEWEAR HEADQUARTERS!
An inspection of 53 taxis from four different Abbotsford companies last week resulted in one-quarter of them being taken off the road due to mechanical safety issues. The random inspection was carried out last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday by the Abbotsford Police Department’s (APD) traffic section in partnership with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement. A total of 13 vehicles were taken out of service, while 10 were given compliance orders for minor violations.
Thirty taxis out of the 53 inspected were allowed to remain on the road. The repairs required were related to issues such as brakes, steering, ball joints, axles and master control arms. The inspections are done to ensure that passengers are safe and the owners are doing proper maintenance on their vehicles between inspections. “Road safety is one of the APD’s top priorities this year. With initiatives and partnerships such as this, we are able to ensure that the commercial operators operating within our city are also making road safety their top priority,” said Const. Paul Walker.

John Fogerty is coming to Abbotsford Centre on Friday, Nov. 28 to perform the songs of Creedence Clearwater Revival 1969. This tour celebrates 1969 – the year in which Fogerty wrote and produced three seminal albums with Creedence Clearwater Revival: Bayou Country, Green River, and Willy and the Poor Boys. Fogerty is one of popular music’s well-known singers, guitar players, and songwriters. His career began in his hometown of El Cerrito, California, soon earning popular and critical success with Creedence Clearwater Revival. As leader of CCR, Fogerty forged a sound all his own, equal parts blues, country, pop, rockabilly, R&B, swamp boogie, and southern rock ’n’ roll. Fogerty performed in Abbotsford in 2012. In 2013, he released Wrote a Song for Everyone. The show will be centered around the year of 1969, but will also include his full catalogue of hits. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the shows begins at 7:30. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 23 at 10 a.m. for $20, $49.50 and $74.50. Tickets are available at abbotsford.ca, the Abbotsford Centre, all Ticketmaster outlines and by phone at 1-855985-5000.

More charges pending in scuffle with sheriff From A1
referred to him as “the black man.” Both Thomson and Derksen agreed that Falk has problems with “anger management and impulse control,” but Derksen said his client has taken programs to address those issues while in custody. He has been in a pre-trial centre since January after being arrested on a series of charges, including the assault of his then-girlfriend, for which he also pleaded guilty. Thomson said Falk has shown no remorse for the attack on Warner, lacks insight into his issues and minimizes his behaviour. He said Falk does not regularly take his medication to control his bipolar disorder, has no respect for authority and has
admitted to previous involvement with gangs such as the Hells Angels and the UN Gang. Derksen said his client’s biological father in Haiti was also an “angry man.” Falk was adopted at age six by an Abbotsford family and was brought up in a good home, but he was bullied as he grew up because of his small size and a learning disability. He described Falk as someone who meets the definition for “mental retardation.” In addition to the assault on his girlfriend and on Warner, Falk pleaded guilty to uttering threats for threatening to kill his girlfriend and her family. Thomson recommended a jail term of six to nine months for the three charges, while Derksen suggested the sentence
should be time already served. Both recommended probation of 18 to 24 months, as well as counselling and an order for Falk to comply with mental-health treatment, including medication recommendations. Judge Rose Raven was issuing her ruling at the News’ press deadline. For full details, check abbynews.com. Meanwhile, charges have not yet been laid against Falk for a scuffle with a sheriff that occurred during the first part of his sentencing hearing on April 3. The incident took place when Falk was being removed from the courtroom to be taken back to a holding cell. Falk was pinned down during the tussle, but continued to struggle and punched a sheriff repeatedly in the head.

Had a fantastic no pressure sales experience at Magnuson. Trina Lemoignan was fantastic. We had our crazy 2yr old with us both times we were there and Trina kept him busy with balloon and snacks, we couldn’t have been more appreciative. Trina is one great lady and I would recommend her to anyone. She was very helpful in how to use all the gadgets and buttons in the truck and has kept in touch with any of our questions. If we decided to buy another vehicle, it will be with Magnuson and Trina! All the staff were super helpful!

MacDonald said it doesn’t appear that Andrie has any connections to two recent previous sexual assaults in Abbotsford. One took place Dec. 12, when a woman was walking in the 2400 block of Gladwin Road, adjacent to Mill Lake Park. She was approached from behind by a man who propositioned her, attempted to expose himself and threw her to the ground. The woman scrambled to her feet and was able to run to a nearby apartment building to call for police. The other assault

the hip of one of the women. The victims moved away from the man, and police were called. Kristopher Wayne Andrie, 32, was arrested at the next bus stop and has now been charged. According to the provincial court database, he was already appearing before the courts on charges of assaulting a peace officer, uttering threats and breaching his bail conditions. He has previous convictions for theft, mischief, trafficking in a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Blaze prevented from spreading From A1
If the burning material hadn’t been moved outside, the fire would have rapidly spread to the compactor and conveyor and caused major damage. “That would have put people out of work for sure,� Adams said. Fire sprinklers located on the outside of the building also helped limit the damage, he added. The facility was only shut down for 24 hours. Field was pleased he was able to prevent further damage “It was reactionary,� he said. H e added that credit also goes to FIELD Wa s t e ch , the transfer station across the street, which sent its front-end loader over to help pull apart the piles of burning cardboard. “It prevented what could have been hours and hours and hours of work for the fire department,� said Field. While a cause hasn’t been determined, Field said he’s “99.9 per cent sure it was not caused by a cigarette. We have a huge non-smoking policy.� The May 13 blaze, which was called in around 2:30 p.m., developed into three other fires, as the burning embers, carried by strong winds, blew into other piles of cardboard located outside. About 35 firefighters were on the scene at the height of the incident.

Cities vote to reject pipeline twinning LMLGA motions also pass on medical pot, coal exports Jeff NAGEL
gency health officials contend it’s allowed faster response to the most urgent calls, with less risk of traffic crashes caused by high-speed ambulances. New Westminster Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, the new president of the LMLGA, said part of the problem is a shortage of ambulance paramedics in the Lower Mainland, as well as chronic congestion in the region’s hospitals. Motions from Squamish and Langley City also demand provincial government aid to cover cities’ costs from firefighter first responders waiting longer for ambulances to arrive. The province has previously refused to subsidize first responder programs, saying they’re voluntary and cities could save money by having them respond only to serious emergencies. LMLGA delegates also voted to strongly oppose development of the proposed Fraser Surrey Docks coal export terminal and the planned expansion of Neptune Terminals in North Vancouver until Port Metro Vancouver conducts formal hearings and orders a more comprehensive health impact assessment on coal dust dangers. The LMLGA, which represents 33 municipal governments from Pemberton to Yale, voted to reject a motion from Burnaby to oppose provincial government changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve. Also approved was an Abbotsford demand that Health Canada disclose to municipalities the locations of previously licensed medical marijuana grow-ops so they can be inspected.
Black Press
Lower Mainland civic politicians voted last week to oppose the Kinder Morgan oil pipeline twinning and call for an overhaul of recent dispatch changes slowing ambulance response times to many calls. Those were among the resolutions passed at the Lower Mainland Local Government Association that will be forwarded to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention this fall. The vote opposing Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion – which would triple oil pipeline capacity through the Lower Mainland and result in a five-fold jump in outbound oil tanker traffic – narrowly passed in a standing vote at the conference in Whistler. The pipeline passes through Abbotsford, connecting to a tank farm on Sumas Mountain. Some cities, such as Vancouver and Burnaby, already outright oppose the project, while others await more information through the National Energy Board’s review. Lower Mainland delegates also voted for a resolution calling for an effective patient-centred emergency response service using fire, rescue and ambulance services working together. It cited an “unprecedented downloading of costs and risk onto local government first responders” by the controversial move last fall to downgrade various non-urgent 911 calls for dispatch by ambulance at routine speeds, without lights and sirens. Cities and fire departments complain it’s meant much longer ambulance waits for many patients, although provincial emer-

$100K city employees If they are worth the amount and earning their pay, why not? Mary Madsen This is why we paid $4K one year for property taxes. Yikes. Candace Koch Jay Engineers make 100k-plus. These are all jobs around the proper salary. Stay in school, kids. Kirk Chorm Wish we could earn that much or even half of that. Jennifer Weismiller Tracey Hedd I’m really not surprised. That is gross. That is not take home pay. Big difference Judy Marie Wallbaum Maybe this topic should be on the next election ballot? Rxx Hiebert

letters Where is logic in cancelling recess? First and foremost, I am for teachers’ right to a fair contract that both supports their education and responsibility while providing a safe and creative learning environment for our children. Now upon learning that the school board has decided in their wisdom to cancel recess, based on the teachers refusing to supervise this time is something I do not understand. It has been proven time and time again that children need down time throughout the day in
Major disparity in EA wages
order for their developing brains to soak in all this new information. No recess will limit this, thus be a detriment to their learning. Child obesity is climbing so it is decided that children should have less time for running around during a day and more time sitting. Where is the logic in that? I hope both sides figure out a solution to this nonsense and actually sit down at the table. David Bench, Abbotsford
I was interested to see that Abbotsford School District survey acknowledged the quality of their staff and yet their educational assistants are the lowest paid in British Columbia. Myself, after 10-plus years of working for SD34, have received one wage increase which amounted to around $3 a day raise. Currently I get paid $19.52 an hour for 5.5 hours per day (an EA in Burnaby earns $27-$28 an hour).
We have been told that our benefit package is better, but I doubt it is $7-$8 an hour better. I am frustrated why Kevin Godden chooses to ignore this major disparity in wages, while qualified staff who work with the most vunerable students continue to leave School District 34. And while morale among staff is at an all-time low in Abbotsford. Alan Borrows Abbotsford

in Aldergrove, police believed alcohol and speed were factors. A car driving at a high rate of speed is believed to have run a red light and slammed head-on into a daycare van carrying five young children and a mother. Everyone survived the crash, with all the children checked out in hospital and released. The driver of the van, who is mother to two of the kids who were in the van, is also home from hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, said police. Many witnesses to the crash who heard sounds of the children’s cries, saw the van driver suffering a seizure on the ground, and then found out the driver of the other vehicle walked away from the scene with a 12-pack of beer under his arm, were left with highly charged emotions. Lance Childs posted on social media that three of his children, aged six and five-yearold twins, were in the van that was struck. He thanked the “heroes” who comforted his children after the crash. While many witnesses were helping the kids and woman in the van, a Black Press reporter who was at the nearby McDonald’s watched the driver of the sports car crawl out his vehicle, through the T-bar roof, and start collecting his belongings in a plastic bag. The driver then went back to his car, grabbed a 12-pack of beer and walked over to the fast food restaurant. The reporter followed him. The driver was limping from a compound fracture to his leg and bleeding from his hand. He ordered himself a meal and called a taxi. Witnesses said the driver appeared extremely impaired and seemed oblivious to the fact that a bone was sticking out of his leg. It’s alleged that witnesses to the crash sent the taxi away. Traffic reconstructionists were at the scene for hours and numerous witnesses have been interviewed.

Polak says province won’t bend to MMBC holdouts Jeff NAGEL Black Press
A number of agricultural businesses are vowing to defy Multi Material BC and refuse to pay into the new package recycling system. Kelvin McCulloch, CEO of the Buckerfield’s chain of farm supply stores, said his firm and other mainly garden suppliers will try to develop their own stewardship program to collect and recycle their packaging in compliance with provincial government regulation. He said he’s abandoned hope the government might freeze the MMBC system, set to take effect May 19, and added a court challenge is one option if setting up a separate program proves unworkable. Dave Van Belle, president of Van Belle Nursery in Abbotsford, met with the environment minister in April, along with members of the BC Landscaping and Nursery Association, to express concerns about the program and call for a delay in implementation. Though he is on track to participate in MMBC, he would support another program for agricultural business, and would be in favour of a court challenge. While he said he supports recycling, the “gun-to-the-head” approach of MMBC is heavy-handed. Several letters were sent by B.C. firms including Eddi’s Wholesale Garden Supplies, Cinnabar Valley Farms and Cobs Breads have gone to government, serving notice they won’t comply. McCulloch maintains MMBC is an illegitimate, unaccountable “monopoly” that businesses have been “coerced” by the province to join. But for some in the agricultural centre, the program may have no effect. Debbie Etsell, executive director of the BC Blueberry Council, said they have not received any calls of concern about the program. She added that as businesses with less than $1 million in annual revenue are exempt, farm operations would have to be large in order to be eligible. Higher fees than are charged by a similar p a ck a g e - a n d - p a p e r recycling scheme in Ontario is a key com-
plaint for opponents. But Environment Minister Mary Polak said misinformation about the program is rampant
in the business community, including perceptions that fees will be much higher than is the case, due to either low
flat fees or exemptions for all but the largest generators of packaging. Those who want to go their own way can
still pursue an alternative stewardship system, Polak said, adding breweries are advancing their own system and
talks are also underway with the newspaper industry. As for demands for a freeze on the program,
Polak said that’s not possible. “We are way too far down the road to be pausing it,” she said.

Sue Chapman lost her husband, Ron, to ALS on Nov. 7, 2012 after being diagnosed on Feb. 4, 2010. Chapman is now the co-ordinator of the People’s Drug Mart Walk for ALS on Saturday, June 14 at Mill Lake Park in Abbotsford. ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a degenerative disease that slowly affects mobility and speech. Upon diagnosis, patients can live up to five years, but it is no way to live. Chapman realized this and immediately took leave from work in order to spend time with her husband while she still had it.

The supply management question
Speakers debate issue from a local/global perspective Nicolle HODGES CONTRIBUTOR
Long-term trends in the global food trade indicate that the shortage of food in impoverished regions is going to continue growing. The demand for extra food will need to be met, primarily by increasing food production in the most fertile parts of the world, such as Abbotsford. Given the direction of recent international trade agreements concerning agriculture, the local chamber of commerce believes it is imperative to address supply management in order to prepare for any changes. Presented by the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce and Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce, the UFV Chilliwack campus will host the discussion on May 21, sponsored by the BC Chicken Marketing Board and the BC Dairy Association. Guest speakers include principal of the
business consulting and investment management firm, Illume Investments Inc., Mark Liew, and current chair of the BC Chicken Marketing Board, Robin Smith. Liew, who co-authored the recent report by the Conference Board of Canada on Canada’s Supply Management, recommends phasing out supply management in Canada. But according to Smith, who is speaking on behalf of pro-supply management, says the analysis is based on a perfect economic competition, which is unrealistic. “The purpose of the meeting is to recognize that agriculture is an important economic driver; it is almost recession-proof because people will always need to eat,” says Smith. “We saw this with the recent recession – Abbotsford was not hit as hard as other communities in Canada largely because it is an agriculture-based economy.”
He argues that processors, consumers and farmers all benefit from supply-managed systems, which ensure fair prices and enable investments in animal care, sustainability and food safety. “If supply management was phased out, we would lose many of our dairy and poultry farms in B.C.,” says Smith. “Active farmland generates economic activity, but once you pave over farmland there is no going back.” However, Liew argues that his subsequent work for the palm oil business in Southeast Asia helped him see how phenomenal growth can be, at the right place and the right time. “Many plantation owners went from millionaires to billionaires in two decades simply by producing and selling to China,” says Liew. “In that context, Canadian supply management looks very strange and sub-optimal for Cana-
dian farmers.” He goes on to say that while supply management has worked well for Canada in the past, the world has changed. “The basic question I would like to ask, assuming that supply management doesn’t exist (there’s a clean slate for the industries) and Canadian farmer groups are well informed and know exactly what opportunities there are internationally, is: would the industries still choose to re-create the current supply management system, which also happens to close the significant international market to them?” Liew says his guess is probably not, and therefore hopes that if the question can be answered honestly, stakeholders will engage in a meaningful discussion on how to move from A to B. The meeting takes place from 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM. Visit abbotsforchamber.com for more information.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Update on Abbotsford’s economical development This month I want to bring you up to speed on what is happening in regards to the City’s plan to increase Economic Development in Abbotsford. The Economic Development Action Plan outlined 10 strategies and today I want to focus on item #3 to establish a Development Corporation to facilitate Development in strategic areas of the City. The purpose of Economic Development in a community is very important. In a recent report to council by the Deputy City Manager, the function of Economic Development is “business retention and expansion as well as marketing initiatives to promote job growth and diversification of the tax base.” Cities have two basic models of Economic Development. One option is to run the Economic Development functions from City hall and have it staffed by City employees. The other model that is becoming more popular
Kenda Allen DIRECTOR
John MacDonald DIRECTOR
is the Economic Development Corporation model. This is an arm’s length entity that is responsible for Economic Development in a community. A board of directors manages the funds and it essentially operates like any other private fee-for-service contractor. According to the City report, the recommendation was made to hire a Director of Economic Development by the end of June and to consider increasing the budget for this Department. The City is still researching different models of a Development Corporation that could work in Abbotsford but it is the opinion of the Chamber that this model would greatly enhance Economic Development in our City. According to Statistics Canada, unemployment in Abbotsford is sitting at 8.1% in April of 2014. The Abbotsford Chamber is extremely interested in the full assessment
of any initiatives that would increase jobs in our community. We need to get behind potential projects and opportunities that would increase the number of jobs in Abbotsford. As a community we need to be pro-actively working together on removing barriers to projects and rolling out the red carpet for investment in our community. Our Civic elected officials need to demonstrate united leadership in looking for workable solutions to encourage these projects and allow them to be successful. All too often projects are criticized or not fully supported over concerns which could be addressed with collaboration and some innovative thinking. If we don’t make this a bigger priority we will lose these opportunities to neighbouring communities who do rally behind projects and say “Yes”.

Ease those gas pains with Esso discount Chamber member businesses can now offer their employees a benefit that doesn’t cost the business anything in terms of money or time! The Esso Business Card program offers a rebate of 3.5 cents per litre on fuel purchases at over 1,850 Esso stations across Canada. For many years, Chamber member businesses have had access to this discount for their company vehicles through a Corporate Account. Employers who wished to extend this discount to their employees for their personal fuel purchases had to manage the account on behalf of their employees. Imperial Oil now offers the opportunity for employees of Chamber of Commerce member businesses to enroll in the Esso Business Card program as individuals and be entitled to the
same 3.5 cents per litre discount. This is a convenient and secure way for your employees to control and manage their own fuel expenses. Individuals participating in the Canadian Chamber of Commerce employee program must purchase a minimum of 2,000 litres annually and must be an employee of a current Canadian Chamber of Commerce business member in order to be eligible for the rebate. As a member of the Abbotsford Chamber you automatically qualify for this benefit! Call the Chamber office today at 604-859-9651 to learn how you can take advantage of this and many other benefits available exclusively to Chamber members.

The Reach Gallery Museum Abbotsford has received a $6,000 grant that will go toward another year of digitizing the city’s rich history. This is the museum’s fifth year of funding from the Irving K.

Other options include a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and rear door window blinds. Driver-assist safety technologies are also available in abundance for those who like the car to do some thinking for them. The new Genesis is also a statement of intent: it heralds what will be the look of the seven new less-premium Hyundai products expects to grace our showrooms before 2016. When it comes to driving, it’s really a tale of two cars. The top-of-the-line model offers a big V8 5-litre power plant, with 420 horses at its disposal. Ironically, it’s best enjoyed jogged along at low speed on the highway, where it has the feel of an old-fashioned big family sedan. (It’s not a lot of fun on the twisting lakeside roads of the Okanagan.) Cars destined for the Canadian market will come with an all-new HTRAC
active wheel drive (AWD) system. Says Hyundai: “Performance of the vehicle’s all-new platform was validated in some of the world’s most demanding driving environments, including Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife and Korea’s Yeongam Formula 1 racing circuit.” The large variety of proving grounds offered by the northern Okanagan was much more appealing to me. And especially so in the car equipped with the 311 horsepower, 3.8-litre GDI V6 engine. Flipping between the Normal, Eco and Sport modes and tapping the gear-changing paddles on the steering wheel made for an enjoyable drive. Little lean in the corners and sprightly up hill. Both engines are coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission with a SHIFTRONIC manual mode. The base price is $43,000, $48,000 gets you the Luxury version, and $53,000 loads up the tech features. If you want the V8, get ready to spend $62,000. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

The new Impala is a handsome beast By Zack Spencer
Canadians love smaller vehicles, the best selling passenger vehicles are compact cars and compact SUVs. As much as we like to keep things sensible, there is always a place for larger
vehicles. Full-size sedans are not big sellers but some buyers prefer them for long-distance cruising and the road-hugging stance that a sedan provides. There are some very good choices out there and the latest is this all-new Chevrolet Impala. The previous Impala

was a favourite for company sales fleets or rental car companies, with a minority of buyers choosing them for personal transportation. Looks This is a very handsome car. I can clearly remember seeing for the first time over a year ago at the New York Auto Show and it was the standout of that event. This new design is striking on several levels. The front design has the signature Chevrolet split grille that was so warmly received on this car that they borrowed it and graphed it into the smaller Malibu. The side has a sweeping front windshield and rear window with a high rear deck that provides a sleek silhouette. Prices start at just over $28,000 and the 2LT is fitted with the V6 engine and starts at almost $33,000. Inside It looks and works well, showcasing what GM is doing right. The mixture of materials, shapes and colours really makes this cabin pop. The seats can be covered in cloth on the base car, faux suede seats or leather on the top models. The dash is covered in soft touch materials; I especially like the textured aluminum look around the window buttons and cup holders. The MyLink infotainment system is easy to use and the graphics look good and the screen pops up for access to the hidden storage area with a USB jack. Standard features include tilt and telescopic steering wheel, Bluetooth connectivity, USB, 8-way power driver’s seat and more. But the back seat might be the best part of this car. The legroom has limo-like dimensions and the space side-to-side and headroom is ample. The trunk is also continued on page 17

huge with a fold-down rear seat, providing more space than many small SUVs. Drive The Impala is now offered with a 4-cylinder or V6. The base engine is a 2.5L with direct injection unit and 195hp. My test Impala didn’t have this engine but I have used this new engine in the Malibu and I was very impressed with it then, one of the best new engines I have used. The V6 engine is a 3.6L direct injection unit with a potent 305hp. Both are matched to a 6-speed automatic that can be shifted manually but the shifter is on top of the knob, not the best place. The big car platform and independent suspension makes for a sure-footed ride with almost luxury-car feel. The road feel is there, but never intrusive. This big sedan can actually handle rather well. Not the choice for a backcountry road excursions but stable and secure feeling. Verdict Consumer Reports recently rated this one of the best cars they had ever tested,

driveway
The good old, bad old days of four-wheeling a rock so hard it ripped the steering wheel out of your hand and if you weren’t carful your thumb as well. Traction control came in
the shape of new tires. Automatic four-wheel-drive was achieved by asking your passenger to step out and lock the front hubs. The parking brake was a log shoved under the rear tire. Soft suspension meant your shocks were blown. Off-road suspension meant you spent more time hitting the roof with your head and back than you actually spent on the seat, which if you were lucky had some remaining padding still in it. Your seat belts would tighten up on every bump and if you didn’t stop you would be suffocated. You would be lucky if your radio would bring in a few channels on the AM band only! And the CB radio might just reach the driver in front of you. Wheel articulation really indicated your leaf spring was broken in half. Air conditioning was driving with your windows down and trying to breath in between dust clouds. GPS was your buddy screaming out, “I think it’s this road.” Most people used to sleep in the back of their trucks. However, I remember one time after a long day of four-wheeling, pulling into an open area by a river where I found a nice sandy mound with the aid of my flash light I quickly spread the sand out with my arms making a flat area in which to put my tent. It was about 5:30 am when I first noticed the red ants crawling all around my sleeping bag. I was tired so killing them one at a time was not a big deal until I saw many climbing the side of the tent. I quickly climbed out of my tent to discover the soft sandy mound I found was actually a giant anthill. The vehicles of today have the capabilities of descending steep hills without even putting your foot on the brake and you could disconnect your sway bar end links to allow for more articulation. Ability to stop on a hill without rolling back is nice. Comfortable seats are really an improvement, especially on long trips. Although we can’t relive the past, it’s important to remember technology is there to help us. There is no replacement for common sense, so don’t let your truck drive you; drive it and be safe. If you have any fun and not-so-fun truck tales to share, please drop me a line. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

DID YOU KNOW? Sumas Prairie used to be the bottom of a very large, shallow, freshwater lake surrounded by extensive wetlands that were a part of the Fraser River watershed. The lakes and rivers of the Sumas watershed supported an abundance of fish (sturgeon, trout, salmon) and birds (Hutchins geese, whistling swans, white-fronted geese) and served as main transportation routes for the First Nations population for a millennium. The lake was drained in the early 1920s.

Learn, create, run
The Envision Financial Run for Water is an opportunity for participants of various ages and skill levels to get outside and exercise, while raising funds for people in the developing world who are lacking the basic necessity of clean drinking water. Students at local schools are also given the opportunity to contribute to the cause with the Envision a Better World: Learn, Create, Run program. Last year, more than $350,000 was raised to help build water projects in the most deprived areas of southern Ethiopia, with a quarter of those funds raised through student efforts. Education director for the Run for Water Society, Betty Baerg, explains the program. “Partner teachers commit to using some of our learning resources around themes of social justice and water issues, and we provide assemblies to elementary schools and a youth leadership event to middle and high schools.” Many schools use the opportunity to fundraise and host school-based events during the months of April and May, such as MEI’s Empathy Walk. “Students carry jerry cans to a nearby
water body, fill them and then trek back to get in touch with the difficult reality of what girls around the world do every day,” said Baerg. “This year, students at WJ Mouat, Little Mountain Elementary, Abbotsford Tradi-
Last year, more than $350,000 was raised to help build water projects tional Middle and Margaret Stenersen are trying their hand at carrying water as well.” The program focuses on several important lessons, including teaching students to appreciate living in a country with an abundance of water, as it is essential for human life. “We demonstrate the global disparity between those with access to
water and those without - about one in seven people in the world don’t have access to clean water,” said Baerg. “We also help with the belief that their actions can make a difference in the lives of others.” With nearly 50 schools participating in the program, the initiative to provide water to impoverished regions has truly become a community incentive for all ages. “People appreciate participating in a well-executed running event, while knowing they are involved in something bigger than themselves” said Baerg. “The event could not have grown as it has without an enormous amount of fantastic volunteer support, an incredibly generous group of financial sponsors and a community that cares!” Any school that wants to get involved can send a message to betty@runforwater.ca to learn more or to sign up for the 2014/2015 season. For more information regarding the May 25 Envision Financial Run for Water, including cost and registration, visit www.runforwater.ca.

SPLASH WIth the emergence of warmer spring days, it’s time to lighten your wardrobe. Fun and sporty is a good way to go. Think cropped pants and ballet flats or a crisp white T-shirt paired with a geometric-patterned skirt. Thinking ahead for summer or planning a tropical vacation? A neon-striped two-piece swimsuit is a fun addition and nicely plays up bronzed skin, but don’t forget to be sun-smart. A floppy straw hat is a fashionable option for protecting yourself from the sun’s damaging rays.

Washing away hair myths Myths abound when it comes to hair care. It’s time to wash away the fiction from the facts.
DO I NEED TO WASH MY HAIR EVERY DAY?
IMAGE
Best for d damaged hair > Redken All Soft ft Shampoo GISMONDI’S
Waiting a day or more between washes actually can be beneficial. Hair is fiber, and the more you wash it, the worse it’s going to look. Waiting enables oils from the scalp to travel down the hair shaft and keep the cuticle healthy.
Best for fine hair >
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CONDITION MY HAIR? Overuse of conditioner can actually contribute to making hair look dull, dry and weighed down. Coarse or dry hair usually needs conditioning a few times a week while those with naturally moist hair may only need to condition once per week. If you have thin hair, only apply conditioner to the ends so it doesn’t get weighed down.

HOW IMPORTANT IS LATHER IN SHAMPOO?
Best for curly hair >
>
Shampoos that generate rich lather are not necessarily better for your hair. Sulfates, generally the first ingredient in shampoo, makes water feel more wet and spreads the cleaning ingredients more readily across the hair shaft. However, these same cleansers can dehydrate glands and strip the scalp of essential oils and natural moisture. Many stylists recommend sulfate-free shampoos because they are more gentle on the hair. People who colour their hair may find they also help retain hair colour longer.

ADVICE FOR NEW STUDENTS? Volunteer as much as you can, do things you like, and follow your passion.
DESSA BAYROCK STUDENT UNIVERSITY OF THE FRASER VALLEY
After years of work, the big day has finally arrived. You wake up and it feels like any other day, but it’s not. You drive to the Abbotsford Centre. You put on a robe that looks like something out of Harry Potter. You vainly attempt to pin that stupid square hat in a position that doesn’t make you look like a dork, and you fail.
But nobody cares, because everybody looks like a dork in that hat. More importantly, everyone wearing that hat — 600 of you, lined up in alphabetical order — is graduating today. After years of hard work, you’ve finally reached your goal. That degree, that diploma, that certificate is yours. It should be boring — 600 students crossing the stage one by one — but it’s not. You see people you’ve taken classes with, people you’ve passed in the hall, people you’ve sat next to at
a campus pub night. And somehow you’re proud of each and every one of them. Finally, it’s your turn. You stand. You climb the stairs to the stage. Your heart flutters in your chest like a drunken butterfly. Is your hand too sweaty? What is too sweaty? Here’s the trick to convocating: don’t worry. Smile big. This is your moment. Everyone is proud of you.

things to consider when shopping for your outdoor space.
FLEXIBILITY Consider the flexibility of each piece. Versatile pieces can help you set-up the perfect space, whether you are entertaining or trying to escape and enjoy some peace and quiet. Consider adding a stand alone umbrella you can move from place to place or a drop-leaf or collapsible table that you can extended when entertaining. Be sure not to overlook weight: heavy outdoor furniture might seem more stable, but is also more difficult to move.
DO YOU HAVE THE STORAGE SPACE? Sometimes covers do not provide enough protection in the winter, especially for materials like wicker. Either have storage space for your furniture or buy something that you will be able to use indoors during the winter months. 32661 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, BC

• No more worries about buying and handling batteries with rechargeable hearing aids.
Most of us take our hearing health for granted. Until we are confronted with a hearing loss we don’t truly appreciate the role hearing plays in our daily lives. Your audiologist is a primary health care professional who evaluates and treats hearing loss and provides education on the prevention of hearing and balance problems.

DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE A HEARING LOSS?
College of Speech and Hearing Professionals of BC
Often it is difficult to tell because hearing loss usually occurs gradually such that the person is not aware of it. Use the following indicators to see if you MAY have a hearing loss:

• Do family members complain about your inability to hear? • Do you have difficulty understanding what people are saying in noisy places? • Do you often ask people to repeat themselves? • Do you find yourself avoiding social situations because you cannot hear? • Do you turn up the volume on the TV so loud that others are complaining? • Do you have difficulty determining which direction sounds are coming from? • Do you have difficulty hearing familiar sounds like the telephone and/or doorbell?
If you experience any or all of these problems on a consistent basis, you may have a hearing loss. You are not alone. 10% of the Canadian population suffer from some level of hearing loss; as many as half of these people are under the age of 65. You may not notice hearing loss in yourself, but others around you will.
WHAT CAN YOU DO? If you suspect that you may have a hearing loss you should see a qualified hearing professional to have your hearing evaluated. They will provide the full range of tests necessary to determine the exact nature of your hearing loss. No one is too young to have a hearing test, even a newborn.

HELPING HAND
Relay For Life heads to Abbotsford Relay For Life is an inspirational, non-competitive, 12-hour fundraising event that brings you and your community together to celebrate life and fight cancer. Relay has a festival-like atmosphere that your family, friends and co-workers can enjoy regardless of age or fitness level. This year we’re excited to promote our new hours for the Abbotsford-Mission Relay – 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. – on June 14 at Rotary Park. We’d like to invite the communities of Abbotsford and Mission to join us. Teams of 8 to 15 people fundraise individually and as a team to help the Canadian Cancer Society save lives and support those who are facing cancer. Relay participants make a commitment to raise at least $100 and are supported with the tools to reach their goals. At Relay, teams gather with cancer survivors at Rotary Park track and take turns walking laps. Each team is encouraged to keep at least one member on the track at all times, while all around them the event is in full swing. As darkness falls we circle the
track with luminaries, which are candles in white bags, each bearing the name of someone who has battled cancer. Throughout the 12 hours, participants are united by music, food, activities and entertainment and the intention to celebrate life.
A festival-like atmosphere that your family, friends and co-workers can enjoy regardless of age or fitness level. Every dollar you raise at Relay For Life helps the Canadian Cancer Society to have more impact against more cancers in more communities than any other cancer charity in Canada.
WE’VE DONE A LOT OVER THE YEARS The first Relay For Life in Canada was held in 1999 and raised $85,000. Since then, Relay has raised more than $496.5 million nationally. Relay For Life continues to be the Canadian Cancer Society’s largest fundraising program.
IN 2013: • 487 Relay For Life events took place across Canada raising $46.5 million • 161,746 Canadians participated on 16,224 teams • 33,252 celebrated their survival at Relay • 28,311 volunteers made it happen By joining us in 2014, you can help make Relay For Life the most successful ever. It is only with the continued support of our participants, donors and volunteers that we can continue to save lives and support people living with cancer right now. For more information, please email abbotsfordrelay@bc.cancer.ca or call Gwen at 778-874-4915.
MAY IS NATIONAL RED SHIELD APPEAL MONTH
Relay For Life needs you! Be part of the biggest cancer fundraiser and make the biggest impact in the fight against cancer. Celebrate survivors, remember and honour loved ones, and fight back against cancer. Join your community and make a difference.

Exploring Abbotsford’s Discovery Trail
CALVIN BERGEN
OUTDOOR ENTHUSIAST LIFECYCLES BIKE SHOP
Abbotsford is a great place to get out and enjoy the fresh air, and it has some of the best trails for people of all ages to enjoy. One of Abbotsford’s newest outdoor attractions, Discovery Trail provides an alternative transportation option, and allows families to enjoy nature and exercise in and around their community. Discovery Trail caters to a wide array of skill levels, ages, and different recreational activities such as running, rollerblading, walking, and cycling. My dad, Harv Bergen, owns Life Cycles Bike Shop - a local store that’s been selling bikes and related merchandise for a over 20 years now. Recently, we rode Discovery Trail in
its entirety. This hadn’t even been our first attempt; a few months prior, we called it quits a little after our departure once the hail started to fall and the bitter cold set in, but we were determined to give it another try. We started off in the west end of Abbotsford at Gardner Park, and wound our way through Fishtrap Creek Park, Clearbrook Park, as well as many other smaller parks along the way. I rode my Rocky Mountain Trailhead 29 - from Life Cycles - along the paved pathways, the rougher off-road segments, the hills, and the boardwalks that make up the diversity of Discovery Trail. If you haven’t discovered Discovery Trail for yourself yet, I would encourage you to take advantage of it - whether it be in short chunks, or travelling the whole 30+ kilometer route.

Kolby Steen bookending halftime, a late try by Josh Thiel, and two converts from Gavin Rowell. Rowell lauded the way his team dug in defensively after falling behind early, led by the likes of Kurtis Kirschner, Gerrin Tram and Pascal Schella. “We started getting some opportunities and scored, and our defence stepped up to stop their attack,” Rowell noted. Q The Yale Lions also climbed the podium on Wednesday – they knocked off Lord Tweedsmuir 26-22 on the road in Surrey in the AAA bronze medal game. Travis Murray and Noah Bain notched tries, while Surge Francis accounted for 15 points via kicks. “We played a good team game – the backs and forwards both played well, and our defence was pretty good,” said Lions coach Doug Primrose, whose team joins the T-Wolves in moving on to provincials. “It was one of our better games of the season.” Q On the AA scene, the Rick Hansen Hurricanes boys fell 29-24 on Tuesday to Southridge in the Valley bronze medal game. Kirat Bhadesha and Alex Ho were among the standouts for the Hurricanes, who also advance to the B.C.’s. “I just want the boys to put forth a solid effort and leave everything on the field,” Hansen coach Nathan Sagert said, looking ahead to provincials. “For a lot of them, it’s the last time they’ll play a high school sport with their friends.” Q First-round provincial games will be held at a trio of locations across B.C. on May 24, with the balance of the AAA and AA tourneys running May 28, 29 and 31 at Abbotsford’s Exhibition Park.

Q The W.J. Mouat senior girls soccer team rolled to gold at a tournament in Summerland in late April. The Hawks didn't surrender a single goal all tourney long, with wins over Sands (1-0), Keremeos (2-0) and host Summerland (1-0). Goal-scorers included Danielle Thune (2), Victoria Jacobse and Madi Hendry, while other standouts included Marianne Spring, Callum Pilgrim and goalies Simran Meelu and Nicole Samra. Q Bryan Arthur, an Abbotsford native who plays outfield for the UBC baseball team, earned all-conference honours for his strong play in the regular season. Arthur hit .351 in 25 appearances, and was named to the All-NAIA West Group team. He helped UBC to a 20-8 record during the regular season, and a berth in the opening round of the NAIA national championship.

Strengthening conviction that God is not dead By John Thoutenhoofd
God’s Not Dead. It’s a recent movie release. It’s about a number of individuals who move from disbelief in God to faith in a God who is alive. At the heart of the story is a college student who has to defend his faith in an anti-Christian philosophy class. Although I would say that there were too many plot lines for the time allotted, I found it intriguing. The college student used reason to defend his view of God. He addressed issues like the origin of the universe, the improbability of the mechanism of evolution, and the existential meaninglessness of philosophy. On the topic of the universe he concluded that both the atheist and the theist would find themselves asking the question, “so who created the universe”, or “why am I here?” An atheist would say I don’t know and would put his faith in the pursuit of more knowledge as if more knowledge
would eventually reveal a purpose and meaning to life. A Christian theist would default to his Bible and use it to reveal that God is the answer to both questions. Evolution would fall short as a mechanism for the existence of life simply because it fails to explain the complexity of all created things. His concluding thought is a challenge against the moral relativity of the atheist leaving atheism in a wandering search for meaning and purpose beyond the grave. The movie included a number of people dealing with life issues which eventually lead them to faith or to deliberately reject the aliveness of God. They included a confident journalist who discovered that she had cancer. There was the Christian woman who had put God on hold because she was looking for acceptance in the wrong place. There was the classmate who was introduced to faith in Jesus because of the college presentation. Finally there was the “deathbed” conversion of
the die-hard atheist. It might sound like a bit too much to pack into one short movie, and maybe that was so. However, I’ve encountered each of these stories in my faith journey and they have been genuine discoveries from a God-less lifestyle to a God-filled reality. I found the movie encouraging. However, there needs to be more. The student comes across a quote from C.S. Lewis which he quotes, “Only a real risk can test the reality of belief.” His risk was to take on the class presentation defending that God isn’t dead. The reality of his belief was tested. I am convinced that God puts us in risky situations regularly. Maybe to speak the truth. Maybe to pray with someone. Maybe to serve without being asked. Maybe to choose rightly. Or maybe to make an adventuresome life choice. Every time we respond to one of those risk-oriented challenges it affirms our faith and strengthens our conviction that God is not dead.

It is with great sadness that we announce that our beloved mother, Marion Klugh, passed away peacefully on May 13, 2014 at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre after a brave battle with cancer. Marion was a longtime Abbotsford resident, being born in the Abbotsford area and living her life in the community. Marion was predeceased by her parents, Henry and Kay Redekopp, and will be greatly missed by her surviving family; fiancé Rick Mayhew, son Ken Nyitrai (Irma Regier), son Tim Nyitrai (Bonnie Geddert), daughter Cyndi Nyitrai (Lorne Stewart), grandson Christopher Klassen, brothers, Jim (Brenda), Irvin (Donna) and Ray (Cindy) and sister Julie St. Andrassy (John) and many nieces and nephews. Marion will be remembered for her caring ways and willingness to help others. Her funny little giggle was reminiscent of her enjoyment of humor and her ever ready smile. She was a hard worker and inherited her mother’s love of cooking, baking and canning. She valued her family and friends and will be sorely missed by all. Graveside service will be held May 30th at 12:30 pm at Hazelwood Cemetery, Abbotsford. Followed by a celebration of Marion’s life at 1:00 pm at the Eagles Club Hall, Abbotsford.

OBITUARIES
BOEVE George George went to be with his Lord on May 13, 2014 at the age of 77 years. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Florence and four sons Tom (Jane) of Vernon, Mike (Rose) of Matsqui, Roger (Helen) of Matsqui, and Stuart (Darlene) of Taber, AB, as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. George was born in Heerde, the Netherlands on July 6, 1936. He immigrated to Canada in 1952. He became a clerk for the Hudson’s Bay Co. and spent 3 years in the North in Kitimat and Tuktoyaktuk as a fur trader. He came to the Fraser Valley in 1956 and worked for a farmer on Sumas Prairie. His next move was to farming on his own farm on 40th Avenue in Surrey in 1959. Next he bought a dairy farm on Sim Road in Matsqui and farmed with his brother Rudy for 6 years and then with his own sons until 1995. He enjoyed the land and making things grow. George served as an elder at Church for many years. He loved his family and instilled in them a great love for the Lord. The family thanks the doctors and nurses at Abbotsford and Royal Columbian Hospitals for their Care. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, May 17, 2014 at 11:30 am at the Canadian Reformed Church, 33947 King Rd. Abbotsford, BC. Online condolences to the family may be made at: www.woodlawnfh-abbotsford.com

McCONACHIE Ivan Aged 84 1/2 years entered into rest at Abbotsford Hospital on April 27, 2014. Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his relatives and friends. A Graveside Service will be held at Hatzic Cemetery 34867 Cemetery Road, Mission, BC on Sat., May 24, 2014 at noon.
Question: Is there any difference between independent living and assisted living? Answer: Yes. Independent living is for healthy elders who only need a minimal amount of support. Assisted living is for people who have been assessed by Fraser Health and require help with daily needs, such as taking medications, bathing or walking.

WAHL John Abraham 1921 - 2014 Our father, grandfather, great grandfather and great-great grandfather passed away peacefully on May 11, 2014.
