Bawdy house bust Charges expected against Vancouver woman
Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) is investigating an alleged brothel on Townline Road and expects to recommend a charge of “keeping a common bawdy house” against a 54-year-old Vancouver woman. Const. Ian MacDonald said police began investigating the residence, located in the 2800 block of Townline near Gardner Road, after receiving complaints from neigh-
bours dating back to December. A search warrant was executed at the residence on May 29 and some documents were seized, MacDonald said. He said the house was a particular concern for police because of its proximity to an elementary school and a high school, and the potential for youth to be targeted by johns or to be sexually exploited. MacDonald said the investigation at this point has not turned up any evidence of
human trafficking or the involvement of youth. He said the home was advertised as a “massage parlour,” and clients heard about it through word of mouth and online postings, including social media. It is not known exactly how many sex-trade workers might have been based out of the home, as they operated in shifts and would have attended and left the residence. Continued on A4

Canada Day Parade Road Closure
Drinking Water Quality
Bevan Avenue Wells Operation Notice
Please be aware that there will be road closures for the Canada Day Parade on Tuesday July 1, 2014. Roads will begin to be closed around 10:00 am, opening again around 1:30 pm. Please plan for an alternate route on July 1st, or make alternate travel arrangements.
Abbotsford and Mission’s drinking water undergoes thousands of quality tests each year and are sent to an independent accredited lab for testing to ensure that customers are provided with clean and safe water.
As per the terms of Environmental Assessment Certi¿cate W11-01, the City of Abbotsford is permitted to run four drinking water wells at the southwest corner of Mill Lake Park in order to meet peak demand for water during summer months. The approved pumping capacity is 290 L/s. A total of 2,505 million litres of water may be drawn from these wells annually, between May and September until December 31, 2015.
Roads affected by the closure include: • South Fraser Way from Ware Street to Trethewey • Trethewey from South Fraser Way to Mouat Drive • Bourquin Crescent from South Fraser Way to Ware Street • Ware Street from Bevan Avenue to South Fraser Way.
Residents can take pride in their drinking water — it continually meets or exceeds quality standards set out in the BC Drinking Water Protection Act and the Canadian Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality. Detailed water quality reports are published annually and key water quality monitoring data is posted monthly on www.ourwatermatters.ca.
Please contact Amy Wakeford, Water Conservation Program Coordinator, City of Abbotsford Engineering Department at 604-864-5514, with any questions.

Two unprovoked assaults in Mill Lake Park Three male suspects in each incident during June
Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) is investigating two similar assaults that took place in Mill Lake Park this month. The first occurred at about 3 p.m. on Monday, June 9, when a 26-year-old man was riding his bike into the northwest portion of the park. Const. Ian MacDonald said the man stopped to have a cigarette near three young men who were also smoking. One of them asked for a cigarette and then demanded all of them. MacDonald said this quickly escalated into an unprovoked attack on the man, who was struck several times, possibly with a skateboard. A knife was produced by one of the three suspects, and the victim suffered wounds to his hands while attempting to block the blade. The victim rode a short distance and called police. He was treated in hospital for scrapes, cuts and bruises that resulted from the altercation.
Two assaults at Mill Lake Park this month had similarities, say police. The second assault was on Saturday, June 21 at about 5 a.m. A 39-year-old man was riding his bike in the 2500 block of Gladwin Road and entered Mill Lake Park via a gravel path. He was approached by three young men
who demanded that he give them his bike. When the man refused, the group began assaulting him. Although the victim did not observe a knife during the attack, he suffered injuries that were consistent with shallow stab wounds,
File photo
MacDonald said. In both incidents, the three suspects were Caucasian, appeared to be in their early 20s and wore “skater” type clothing. The investigation of both assaults is continuing. “The similarity be-
tween the incidents and the locations is enough to cause concern,” MacDonald said. Anyone with information is asked to contact the APD at 604859-5225, text 222973 (abbypd) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.
Similar facilities in other communities
From A1
MacDonald said police believe that the woman running the home, who cannot be named until charges are formally laid, did not live there. She is believed to have been running similar facilities in other communities, although she has no prior criminal record, MacDonald said.
ONLINE abbynews.com
At this point, no johns have been charged. MacDonald said these types of charges are usually laid when police use an undercover officer to pose as a sex-trade worker, and there is exact evidence of money being paid in exchange for sex. MacDonald said although there are hundreds of Abbotsford online listings for escorts and questionable “massage
services,” this type of situation is not common in the community. “Bawdy houses are still rare and low in numbers.” The investigation, led by the APD’s major crime unit, is continuing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the APD at 604-859-5225, text 222973 (abbypd) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Soccer club resolves lottery issue, lands record grant Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
After weathering significant adversity in 2013, Abbotsford’s minor soccer association has taken steps toward greater stability. That’s according to Dan Village, the new general manager of the Abbotsford Magnuson Ford Soccer Club (AMFSC), who told The News that the club is back in good standing with B.C.’s Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch following a pair of audits by the provincial body – one on its general books, and one on its lottery account. The audits were prompted by a licensing issue with the AMFSC’s annual vehicle raffle, which saw the club refund about $12,000 worth of raffle tickets in March of 2013 after it was discovered it did not have a licence for the fundraising lottery. The previous year, the club had netted about $17,500 from the raffle. The AMFSC also faced a deficit of more than $70,000 for the 2012-13 fiscal year, consisting of a budget shortfall of about $22,000 and outstanding accounts of $50,000. The City of Abbotsford (field fees) and Soccer Express (sports equipment) were among the club’s chief creditors. Compounding matters, the AMFSC was unable to access gaming grants during the audit process, and Village said the club had applied for $79,000 – its usual gaming grant amount – in 2013. Once the audits wrapped up in midDecember, the club re-applied to the gaming branch and received a $40,000 grant in
January to tide it over. But things really began to look up on May 23, when the AMFSC was issued a $100,000 gaming grant for 2014 – the largest in its history. And on May 30, it received a new raffle license. “There was much rejoicing in the soccer office,” said Village, who termed the past year-plus “the lowest of the low for our club. “Without the understanding and co-op-
There was much rejoicing in the soccer office.

eration of our paid coaches, the city and Soccer Express and others, we wouldn’t be viable anymore. Through patience and understanding and support from the community and people we deal with, we were able to survive.” In the aftermath of the audits, the club has implemented a series of recommendations, from items that Village termed “obvious,” like applying for a proper raffle licence, to financial oversight measures, including an inspection of their books by a certified general accountant. The AMFSC has also taken steps to trim
its operating budget – Village said the club no longer accept payment via credit card for player registration, which saves it $23,000 to $25,000 each year in credit card fees. The club has also relocated its office to the Bateman Park fieldhouse, receiving free use of the space from the city in exchange for serving as caretakers. Village said the club’s debts are now in the $20,000 range. “We’re not back in the black yet, but the plan is to be totally clear by the end of the summer,” he said. “It made us sit down and say, ‘OK, what are we doing here?’ Instead of going month-to-month like we were, now we’ve got a nice three- to five-year plan that we can build on.” The club is also seeking to be more responsive to membership in terms of the programs it runs, and had record attendance at its spring recreational leagues. Registration for the fall season is also well ahead of where it was at this time last year, after the AMFSC trimmed its registration fee by about $60 per player – the U13 to U18 early bird rate was $315 this year, compared to $375 in 2013. “One of the biggest complaints was, our fees were too high compared to Chilliwack, compared to Aldergrove, compared to Mission,” Village said. “We looked good and hard at our budget – A, how can we take care of what we owe and B, how can we encourage people to come back?”

QUESTION
WebTalk
OF THE WEEK Do you pay more attention to local politics in a civic election year?
Mill Lake attacks The real question is what are the police doing to prevent such senseless violence ... why doesn’t this city have outreach for these young adults to keep them occupied? Amanda Victoria
To answer, go to abbynews.com
I’ve been walking my dog there before in the middle of the day and some creep was following me asking me all kinds of questions. It’s turning into an iffy place to go alone. Katie Giberson
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Do you support the federal government’s approval of the Northern Gateway Pipeline project?
I go to Mill Lake all the time by myself with three young children ages five years, three years and one that is seven months. Is it safe to be going to the park now or what? I do not want to put my children in danger! Megan Langlois

Sanctioned homeless camp rife with issues Andrew
Holota
On Point “Dignity Village.” Noble name ... and in principle, a noble cause, involving the provision of a formalized “transitional” camp for the homeless – a chronic issue in this city. Not that it isn’t in many if not most communities. Ours is just higher profile, for a number of reasons, none of them particularly good. A very brief summary: City staff dump manure on a popular homeless camp last summer; issue becomes intensely sensitive and politicized; special advocate groups and the courts get involved; the homeless become untouchables, camping on city land where they are highly visible to make a point. But back to the Abbotsford Dignitarian Society, the name of the group behind a proposed sanctioned camp – “Abby Digs.” This initiative came from the ashes of the Abbotsford Community Services’ plan to build a 21-bed, low-barrier, supported housing unit for homeless men. That project crashed and burned when
the downtown business association, and others, protested over the proposed location. Gone was $15 million-plus in provincial funding. In short, the mayor and three other councillors who caved to the opposition blew a major, long-term opportunity. Let there be no illusion – this city has a serious homeless problem, with some people living in deplorable conditions, physically and mentally, in which real “choice” often is not part of their landscape unless there is focused and sustained help. Is the bonafide camp concept the answer? Strictly stopgap, and littered with practical and political landmines which, when they go off, could take taxpayers as collateral damage. For starters, it’s proposed on private land, on Valley Road near the garbage transfer site, more than two kilometres out of downtown. The city is being expected to provide water and sewer services. And the homeless wouldn’t just camp – they’d live in specially built cabins. If the city supports this, it would be unprecedented. Publicly funded servicing of private property; rezoning or special permit use granted for agricultural land for residential purposes that aren’t part of any
community plan; and likely some creative interpretations of building codes. Then there are the liability issues. This little community would be directly sanctioned by the city, which may be legally vulnerable for every overdose, assault and accident that occurred within. Remember, some of the camp occupants are drug-addicted and often addled individuals who would be trekking down the Abbotsford-Mission Highway to get to the Salvation Army and other social services. Where might the blame be laid if one of them gets hit by a vehicle? This is assuming, of course, that all the denizens of the teepee town on Gladys Avenue and other shanty-villes will even be interested in moving off their conveniently situated chunks of municipal land and Hydro and railway rights-of-way. And if they do, what’s to convince them to “transition” out of the new camp, if it does come to pass? The organizers are so far saying there wouldn’t be a maximum time of stay for occupants. That would be another huge mistake, missing the critical point being made by other cities such as Calgary which have found long-term homeless solutions.
The message is clear: Shift from managing homeless to ending it.
Their message is clear: Shift from managing homelessness to ending it. Providing transitional shelter with nothing to transition to, or motivation to do so, is a virtual guarantee that such a facility – with all of its shortcomings and liabilities – will stay put long into the future. It’s more than out of the box – it’s a tar pit. Of course, the other rub is this. The mayor and councillors who voted against the ACS housing project, slapping the provincial hand that feeds, are now hoist on their own tent poles. How do you turn down fully funded, turnkey supported homeless housing, and then later say no to Abby Digs – the only other solution on the horizon? And in an election year, to boot. At this point, a sanctioned village is the sole strategy on the table, short of whatever the civic homelessness task force might suggest, or what might be salvaged from the ACS plan. If the city truly intends to head down this path, it had better put some absolute limits on how this project proceeds, under what strict conditions it ends, and then naively hope it doesn’t become another “right,” not a service, for the individuals and organizations that have grasped the homeless issue in Abbotsford and made it into ground zero of a socio-political campaign. And that’s a camp story for another time.

Overpass 20 years overdue In reference to increased rail traffic through downtown Abbotsford: I respect the fact that the local rail line predates my residency, and I also fully realize that I cannot influence decisions made by railway companies. At the same time, if our city had $17 million available to donate to the YMCA, why not instead direct it towards a rail overpass ? Abbotsford is ill-pre-
pared to handle the two months (possibly longer) of two-kilometre long trains taking up to 10 minutes to pass through the Essendene and George Ferguson rail crossings. Existing rail loads – not to mention false signals that engage the rail barriers – already result in traffic backed up several blocks both to the east and to the west. One example is what
happened shortly after 5 p.m. on June 25. After the rail barriers at Essendene and George Ferguson Way were lifted, two police vehicles, lights and sirens engaged, had to weave between standing traffic in order to travel east on George Ferguson Way and then south on Gladys. Local residents may also remember the instance when a train blocked both cross-
ings for an extended period of time, and the only other route to access the freeway was backed up for blocks – and this was with existing rail loads. Instances such as the above affect traffic movement and access of emergency vehicles. We are at least 20 years behind in having a rail overpass on either Essendene or George Ferguson Way.

School board should tell gov’t to increase funding I have a question for the Abbotsford School District trustees and Superintendent Kevin Godden: Do you support public education? If you truly support public education then how can you sit by silently and let the provincial government run the system into the ground? Your silence during this labour dispute is deafening. You should be leading the charge in demanding
this government treat the students and the teachers with respect and properly fund public education. If you truly support public education then tell the government to increase funding levels so you have a budget with which to work. British Columbia has the second-lowest student funding in the country. That is unacceptable. If you truly support a prop-
erly funded public education system then it’s time for you to speak up. You need to represent all aspects of the education system and work to improve the situation for both students and teachers. If you truly support public education then do the right thing and tell this government that enough is enough. Stuart Smith Abbotsford

New changes allow alcohol sales at farmers’ markets Abbotsford market pleased with legislation amendment Jason ROESSLE
With the right residential insurance coverage to meet your specific needs.
Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford Farm and Country Market manager is guessing locally crafted wines, beers and distilled spirits will be for sale there within the month. Bruce Fatkin said the market welcomes the B.C. government’s June 21 announcement that opens the doors to alcoholic products being sampled and sold at farmers’ markets. “This is awesome. This is great news,” said Fatkin. “This is a little piece of agriculture that hasn’t been included before. It will add a really interesting component to the market itself.” Under the Liquor Policy Review changes, liquor manufacturers have to apply directly to the farmers’ markets where they wish to sell their products and it will be up to the market association to determine which vintners, distillers and brewers are accepted, subject to municipal bylaws. Fatkin said the board is currently developing its own guidelines on how many of this type of vendor will be permitted, the frequency of attendance and

what defines local. The market is working with the city to ensure the appropriate bylaws are amended or in place to ensure compliance, he added. According to city spokesperson Rhonda Livingstone, a report will be coming to council about the provincial legislation changes, and the impact to
This is a little piece of agriculture that hasn’t been included before. Bruce Fatkin Abbotsford. Mt. Lehman Winery owner Vern Siemens also supported the change. “That’s fantastic. It’s about 20 years too late,” he said with a laugh. “This will be so good for the smaller wineries.” Previously, samples could be offered, but bottles couldn’t be sold. The likelihood of someone trying a sample and then mak-
ing the effort to drive elsewhere to buy the product was low, explained Siemens. He said this move will see more tourists attend the market. The sale of alcohol “will go over very well … and it goes with local produce,” Siemens said. The Abbotsford market runs Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the corner of Montrose Avenue and George Ferguson Way. Permitting alcohol sales at farmers’ markets is but one of a number of Liquor Policy Review changes, which also includes changes to regulations allowing variable pricing (happy hours) and imposing minimum drink prices in licensed establishments. A total of 73 recommendations to B.C. Liquor Policy were recommended late last year, and so far 17 have been implemented. The government’s goal is to implement 70 per cent by next spring. As well, a complete re-write of the Liquor Control and Licensing Act is planned for spring 2015.

Abbotsford culinary arts students learn about endive Locally grown product delivered to classrooms to aid in education R i ck Hansen Secondary in Abbotsford was one of 28 high schools to receive a delivery of Belgian endive this month, as part of the Take a Bite of BC program developed by the BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation. Students on Take a Bite of BC are introduced to a wide range of BC products, like endive, that they ordinarily would not have access to and use them in teaching kitchens. B.C.-grown products are donated to the program and delivered to participating school teaching kitchens during select months of the school year. A relative of the dandelion family, endive has gained a reputation as being somewhat bitter, but it remains sweet when taken straight off the farm and to the teaching kitchens.

Rick Hansen students Gabby Hofer, Morgan Rogers and Emmie Kupsch display endive, which was donated from an Abbotsford farmer, that they will braise. Eekelen of Van Eekelen Enterprises donates her locally grown product to the teaching kitchens. “The reason endive can sometimes have a bitter taste, is because it isn’t stored properly,” said Van Eekelen. “If they are eaten fresh they will retain their sweetness.” Van Eekelen has been growing endive in the valley since 1978.
Although more of a rarity in North America, endive is a staple in Europe, being boiled or braised with weekday meals. In Abbotsford, fresh endive is grown year round. Culinary arts students at Rick Hansen used it to spice up the menu for a school banquet of 200 people this spring. They prepared a dish of endive and herb-
roasted chicken and a spring salad featuring endive as the main attraction. Take a Bite of BC was developed by BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation in partnership with the BC Culinary Arts Association, BC agricultural commodity groups and B.C. producers.

Abbotsford News Friday, June 27, 2014
Never stop building intercultural relationships more due to the size of diverse population. People say they believe in diversity, but don’t practise the basic fundamentals. Diversity is not a complicated word; it’s simply about creating friendships through our differences. Over the past two decades, I have kept every correspondence that has been emailed to me, and after reading some of the positive and negative remarks all I can say is that we’re very fortunate to reside in a multicultural country. I have been placed in a leadership role all these years and I’ve taken this responsibility very seriously. Some Ken weeks, it feels like it’s a full-time job with all of the emails and invitations. I’m proud to say I have always made an effort to reach back to all those who have reached out.
Diversity
It’s hard to believe 19 years has slipped by as a columnist. I still recall looking for that one opportunity and I’m thankful to the Abbotsford News for having the confidence in me. One of the most important things I’ve learned after 228 months, is creating relationships in our community is far more valuable than being opinionated on things that really don‘t matter. The truth is we don’t know it all and we need to be more inclusive with all our diverse communities by listening and having an open mind. We should never stop building intercultural relationships and that is something we have unfortunately done. For example, in my travels in the Abbotsford/Mission area I rarely see people from different cultures walking together in our communities. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but it should be happening a lot
After being denied in 2010 to go to a Christmas party for being East Indian I knew that much work remained. As the founder of Cycling4Diversity, our team has visited close to 100 schools in a short four years. Through this proactive approach we’re seeing change in our neighbourhoods, parenting, sports teams, and workplaces. I’m happy to announce at this time I will be staying on for my 20th year and excited to be part of it. The best part of this job is I get to meet many incredible faces in our community and give them an opportunity to be part of an important discussion. Last week, I was honoured and surprised to have received the Community/Literary Ambassador Award, from the Writers International Network
Herar
(WIN) Canada. In 2013, local author Theresa Chevalier also received the WIN Distinguished Writer Award for her historical novels “Shameful Innocence” and “Green Hell.” “Writers International Network celebrates and honours people of all cultures whose work touches the lives of others in positive and meaningful ways,” said Chevalier. Her novels feature fictional characters living through real historical times. Teachers have recommended her books to their students to aid in their studies. “I love going to WIN awards ceremonies. People from all over the world come together and share poems, songs and dance. This gives me inspiration and encouragement to love all and help to make a difference in the world, even if just in little ways,” she said. Ken Herar writes monthly about diversity issues.

More than 80 people received free dental work valued at more than $35,000 on Friday in Abbotsford. The service was provided by Clayburn Dental, and resulted in people lining up as early as 4 p.m. the day before for the service, which ran on a first-come, first-served basis. The service was open to those 18 years or older who can’t get dental care elsewhere. Stephen Wall, marketing director of Clayburn Dental, said most of the patients wanted a cleaning and exam, because they typically only come to the dentist in emergency situations. He said one man who began lining up at 5 p.m. the night before needed six teeth extracted, which would have cost him $1,300. “You’re used to seeing people line up all night for deals on TVs and games, but it was amazing to see people camp out for free dentistry. It shows how much a service like this is needed and appreciated,” Wall said. This was the first time the dental

Abbotsford’s Orville Smith celebrates 100th birthday Orville C. Smith, who resides at Tabor Manor in Abbotsford, celebrates his 100th birthday on June 29. Orville was born on June 29, 1914 in Cookstown, Ont. He received a  degree in chemical engineering from the University of Toronto in 1937.  In 1940, he joined
Canadian Industries Limited (CIL) in the explosives division. Â Orville spent his career with CIL, living in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba and B.C. until he retired as
works manager at the CIL Explosives plant on James Island, B.C. Orville married Dorothy Ransier (now deceased) in November 1940. He has one daughter, Sharon
Firkins; two granddaughters, Jennifer and Jacqueline; and two great-grandchildren, Siri and Torsten. Aside from family and career, Orville loves fishing, travel-
ling, and the opera. Â Although he is no longer able to go fishing or do much travellling, he has many stories about both that he is happy to share with anyone who is
willing to listen. When asked what he attributes to his longevity, his response is “oatmeal,� which he has been eating “every day for almost 100 years.�

Matthew’s House expands capacity Matthew’s House, an Abbotsford respite care home for children with complex healthcare needs and their families, has expanded capacity from two children to five. The facility opened in November and was able to provide care for two children. After completing licensing requirements through Fraser Health Authority – meaning the facility has met standards for care provided to children and families – it can now serve the full five-bed facility. “Licensing is important because it gives parents the assurance that their children will be safe here,â€? said Matthew’s House manager Wendy Toohey. Minister of Finance Michael de Jong toured Matthew’s House on Wednesday and offered appreciation for the service Matthew’s House is now providing. “You can immediately understand why parents and families are comfortable here‌They can feel the love, which translates to healthier families.â€? Construction of Matthew’s House was funded in part by a $1 million gift from the provincial government. The ongoing operation of Matthew’s House is supported by donations from partners and individuals in the community. To learn more about Matthew’s House, visit mattshouse.ca

New home for Abbotsford family Vikki HOPES
ABBOTSFORD NEWS Habitat for Humanity Upper Fraser Valley turned over the keys on June 14 to a new home for a local family. The house at 34608 Farmer Rd. was presented to the Fonseca family, who were selected for the residence a year ago from several applicants. Single mom Joscelyne now lives in the two-storey house with her two sons, ages 11 and 12. Habitat for Humanity builds homes in partnership with selected families, who pay an interest-free loan and never pay more than 30 per cent of their total family income for their housing. They also provide more than 500 “sweat equity” hours in building the home. The local Habitat for Humanity paid for the Farmer Road property, and the home was built with about $80,000 worth of donated materials, $40,000 in cash donations, and more than 2,800 hours of donated labour from 65 to 75 volunteers. Ken Friesen Construction donated much of the labour and co-ordinated the volunteers, as well as collecting $40,000 in cash donations. Much of the funds also came from proceeds of the ReStore – located at 34220 South Fraser Way in Abbotsford – which sells donated new and used building supplies, home decor and furniture.

Ward said. Catcher Lynsey Christianson is staying in B.C. – she’s headed down the road to Douglas College in New Westminster. “It’s nice to stay close to home – I’m pretty close with my family,” she enthused. The quartet join fellow Yaleans Taylor Lundrigan and Katherine Murnaghan, who signed with Simon Fraser University back in December, in the post-secondary softball ranks. “It’s kind of neat that they’ll all grown up together and are now getting this opportunity,” said Yale softball academy coach Jen Schreyer.

local Habitat for Humanity, said the store raises funds to cover all the organization’s administration costs, while still leaving extra to support the building of a new home. For example, Rempel estimates that $50,000 from ReStore profits went toward the Farmer Road home. The support of the ReStore ensures that 100 per cent of the funds donated to a build are used for that purpose, he said. Last year, the ReStore raised about $260,000 in Abbotsford.

Two weeks from now, when Callum Pilgrim hits the field for the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship with her Fraser Valley Fusion 97A squad, it will mark her third straight year participating in the prestigious tournament. But without a doubt, this year’s edition is the most pressure-laden. Pilgrim, like the vast majority of her teammates, just put the finishing touches on her Grade 11 school year and is heading into Grade 12 in the fall. That means this summer is pivotal in terms of auditioning for post-secondary scholarships. And the Canadian Open, a massive event running July 11-21 in Surrey, is a magnet for university coaches and scouts. “It would be cool to see some scouts there,” centre fielder Pilgrim said, reflecting on the scholarship scrutiny. “But hopefully it doesn’t make us nervous, and we won’t do anything we wouldn’t normally do on the field.” The Fusion are a regional rep club, and Pilgrim is one of two Abbotsford players on the 97A squad – shortstop Mikaila Kerr is the other. Head coach Gord O’Grady speaks highly of both in terms of both their talent and their coachability.

O’Grady has been with this group of Fusion players for the past six years, and though they had a fair amount of roster turnover heading into this season, they’ve heated up of late, reeling off a recent seven-game winning streak in league play. “I’m a fair-weather guy, and we don’t go in a lot of earlyseason tournaments because the weather is so up and down in April,” he said with a chuckle. “But as we’re coming towards the Canadian Open and provincials, it’s the right time to be peaking.”

Is your business partner a partner, or employee?

It is commonly known that employers do not have carte blanche to impose whatever terms they wish into contracts of employment with their employees. Rather, given an employee’s
relative vulnerability, British Columbia provides protective legislation that restricts the employer from placing certain terms into employment contracts – even if the employee agrees. In particular, the
Employment Standards Act sets “floors” for working conditions, and the Human Rights Code prohibits discriminatory practices in the employment setting. An interesting remaining question is:
are business owners free to insert any provisions they wish into the contract they make with their partners or co-owners, or are they subject to restrictions similar to those applicable to their employ-

ership agreement that allowed for fellow owners to force the sale of his team, has certainly brought the legality of contractual agreements amongst coowners to the forefront of many minds. A recent decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, McCormic v. Faskens, visits this issue in a more familiar context. The case serves as a useful reminder to business owners that contractual relationships between themselves and their co-owners may well be subject to various legislative restrictions. In Faskens, Mr. McCormic co-owned a law firm as an equity partner. The Partnership Agreement between McCormic and his partners included a clause requiring equity partners to retire at age 65. McCormic argued this clause was unenforceable because it violated section 13 of the Human Rights Code prohibiting age discrimination in employment. The law firm responded by arguing that because section 13 only applies to employees, it did not apply to McCormic. Ultimately, the Supreme Court held that McCormic was not an employee, as his relationship with the law firm could not be characterized as one of employment, and the Supreme Court was forced to find in favour of the law firm. Although McCormic was found not to be an employee in this situation, the court noted that this will not always be the case for co-owners. To determine whether an individual will be deemed to be an employee – and thus have the protection of the Human Rights Code – the test to be applied requires a consideration of how much control the employer has over the individual’s working conditions, and how dependent the individual is on the employer.

Gallery 7 Theatre and Performing Arts hosts its 10th annual Summer Drama Blast, starting July 7. Gallery 7 artistic director Ken Hildebrand said the camp-style program provides children and teens the opportunity to explore all things dramatic in a life-affirming, positive environment. The camps for ages six to 12 include skills such as blocking, line memorization, characterization and play development, and each camp ends in a short performance. The camps for ages 14 to 18 are more intensive, enabling participants to build on their high-school theatre experience, prepare for college and professional theatre training, or prepare for deeper involvement in community theatre. Rebecca Mackenzie, a recent graduate of the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) theatre department, will lead Creative Explosions for ages six and seven. Layton Keely, a professional performer with commercial and TV production experience, will lead Dramatic Rumblings for ages eight and nine. Maddison McArthur, a UFV theatre graduate with a host of acting credits, will lead Stage Eruptions for ages 10 and 11, while director, actor and teacher Megan Mackenzie will lead Dynamite Playmakers for ages 12 and 13, and will also lead the Acting for the Camera camp for teens. Also offered are performance-intensive camps for teens led by actor and musician Ryan Scramstad, who recently completed an apprenticeship at Pacific Theatre, having appeared in the professional company’s production of The Foreigner last fall. Alison Chisholm, operations manager for Pacific Theatre and resident improviser with Second Storey Theatre, will lead the improvisation camp for teens. The camps run July

Four Abbotsford students captured medals at the National Skills Canada competitions, held in early June in Toronto. • Elijah Baluyan and Karmyn Chretien from Robert Bateman Secondary (pictured) achieved silver medals in the 2D Character Computer Animation division; • Patty Chomseng and Monica Sivongsa from Rick Hansen Secondary won bronze medals in the 3D Character Computer Animation category. Also participating was Dawson Procee of Robert Bateman, in the Welding competition. Each of the local students had won gold medals at the Provincial Skills BC competitions in April. We are proud of their representation of our District.
New StrongStart A new district sponsored StrongStart Centre has been approved by the Board of Education. This will be located at Abbotsford Senior Secondary School (Sweeney Neighbourhood Centre), and brings the total number of centres in district to 13. The Board has made early learning a priority over the past two years; this is the second Boardfunded StrongStart. The Province funds 11 other centres in district. StrongStart is a free, drop-in early learning program for preschool aged children accompanied by a parent or caregiver.
Throughout the year, schools in our district continually work to celebrate diversity in classrooms. This is especially evident for our English language learners. These students realize success as consequence of a concerted effort: • Teachers make classrooms welcoming and inclusive, because they believe that every child can succeed given the right support; • Classrooms that are culturally responsive and value the primary language and prior knowledge of the students; and • Teachers who gear their instruction to language proficiency levels of the students. The district is seeing tremendous gains in language, acquisition and this is a testament to our amazing teachers and support staff.

Labour Disruption; Bus Refunds This school year ended in a way that was difficult for everyone in our school communities. The Board of Education had hoped that the parties would have arrived at a resolution prior to the end of the school year, so that students and teachers alike could complete a pleasant closing to this school year and enjoy important year-end activities and celebrations. Bus riders should note, as a consequence of interrupted bus service through June, the Board of Education has authorized full refunds to all bus riders for the month of June. Details will be communicated directly to parents of bus riders. We all hope that the parties will arrive at a negotiated settlement in the near future, so that we may continue to provide the best possible education to our students. The district will continue to provide updates as new developments arise, primarily through the district website at www.sd34.bc.ca.

Participants will see the exhibit “Challenge and Denial: Komagata Maru 100 Years Later, 1914 – 2014” and learn more about Abbotsford’s Gur Sikh Temple (the city’s only national heritage site) and Sikh religion and culture. The tour also includes a visit to the newer Khalsa Diwan Society Sikh temple for langar, the communal vegetarian meal that affirms the equality of all who partake in it. These tours are in recognition of the passing of 100 years since 355 passengers of the Komagata Maru were denied entry into Canada. The tours also connect to The Reach’s summer history exhibition, Boat People, which examines the stories of other Abbotsford immigrants who made their way to Canada via an ocean voyage. Also showing at the Sikh Heritage Museum is an exhibition of works by local artist Jarnail Singh, whose paintings depict the Komagata Maru tragedy.

CONTRIBUTOR
How much money will it take to be financially independent? That’s very much up to you. Ron Atchison, an investment advisor with RBC Wealth Management says, “There is no exact answer, as everyone’s personal situation is different…for example, a couple who wishes to drive new cars, take exotic holidays regularly, eat out frequently, as well as maintain a home and perhaps a summer property, will require substantially more money to sup-
port their lifestyle than a couple who maintains a modest home, travels occasionally and owns one economical car.” Getting accurate information on retirement planning is all about helping you make sure you don’t outlive your wealth and to ensure your retirement years are spent in comfort and security. As you can imagine, retirement’s not much fun when you don’t have enough money. The answer to any question involving money and time will depend upon a wide number of variables, many of which

are not known in advance. How much will you spend? How fast will your investments grow? How long will you live? Some experts suggest you’ll need up to 70 per cent of your income before retirement, but Bill Murray, a certified financial planner from Investor’s Group said, “A cookie-cutter answer is impossible.” Research shows retirees substitute time for money. For example, they shop more for bargains and spend more time cooking. Yet not every couple spends less. Atchison points out, “When you stop working, perhaps your vehicle expenses will shrink and you may not have to buy work clothes. But if you are planning to travel more, maybe the income you will need won’t be lower.” Murray agrees, saying he has also found that a large number of retirees actually increase spending as they travel and make other expensive uses of new leisure time. He says the average person plans more for a one- to two-week vacation than they do on their
lifetime of finances. Murray adds, “Young people are in a mentality of earning and burning their money, which leads debt to be a major problem because 47 per cent – almost half of British Columbians – are living paycheque to paycheque. Atchison strongly recommends, “never letting your credit rating go bad … it is really hard to recover from that” and “one should plan to be debt free going into retirement.” Regardless of how old you are, it’s never too early to start thinking about retirement. Atchison advises, “Start with a small amount and increase it as you can. “You must control your debt, save something, and live within your means” to lead yourself to a successful retirement. For those who say it’s never too late, Murray says that with money it can be. If you’re close to retirement, there is a unique set of questions to ask yourself before saying goodbye to the life you’ve lived for decades. Making a visit to a financial planner is a good place to start.

I Don’t Want to be a Burden – But I Need Your Help Here are some very practical things that you can do that will help to make life Sharon Simpson easier on those around you on whom you rely in your elder years. If you complete this checklist and the one that follows in part four, you will have done a tremendous service that will reduce the amount of work for those around you who love and support you in your elder years. Remember, it’s less work for your loved ones if you ask for their help to complete this list now than to leave it all up to them after you are gone. Yes, you’ll need their support, but it will be well worth the effort.
Fill out your MOST (Medical Order for Scope of Treatment) form This form is available from your doctor. This form is a doctor’s order based on Advanced Care Planning conversations with your doctor which explore your wishes for medical treatments available. These conversations include your wishes for:
A. CPR – Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation – should your heart stop and an opportunity is present to restart it. B. Medical treatments for end of life – do you want comfort goals or aggressive goals?
What do you do? Book an appointment with your doctor to go over this form.
Appoint a Power of Attorney (POA) A power of attorney is another person, called an “attorney” who is appointed to deal with your business, property and to make financial and legal decisions for you. An enduring power of attorney allows this person to continue to make these decisions for you if you become mentally incapable of making these decisions. The most important part of appointing a POA is that you trust them. This person cannot make any health care decisions for you.
What do you do? Talk to the person that you want to appoint as POA. Book an appointment with a lawyer to do the documentation.
Appoint a representative to make health and personal decisions The Representation Agreement Act allows you to appoint someone as a legal representative to handle financial, legal, personal care and health care decisions if you are unable to make them on your own. This agreement may also include another person to monitor the representative’s decisions. This helps ensure that you are being well taken care of and two people know the decisions that are being made on your behalf.
What do you do? Talk to the person that you want to appoint as a representative to make health care decisions for you. Book an appointment with a lawyer to do the documentation.
Make decisions about your estate Even if you have very little in your estate, ensure that everything you have can easily be transferred into the names of those who will inherit your money, property and stuff. There are many ways that you can give away your things so that charities and family benefit instead of paying it all in taxes.
We bring our hear t to your home
What do you do? Book an appointment with a financial advisor to talk about the best way to manage your estate. Many church denominations have stewardship teams who can help you to plan your finances, including donating to your church or other ministries.
Complete your will More than half of Canadians are living without a will. You don’t need to be one of them. If you want to decrease the burden on those who survive you, have a clear and legal will. Without a will, you can ensure that those who survive you will have several years of paperwork to do in order to finalize your estate.
What do you do?
What to do?
Choose an executor that you trust and ask them if they will manage your estate when you are gone. Book an appointment with a lawyer or notary to complete your will.

Restless legs syndrome affects many Millions of people are afflicted with restless legs syndrome, an uncomfortable neurological condition that may lead them to repeatedly move their limbs to find relief. In spite of its name, restless legs syndrome, or RLS, is not limited to the lower extremities, as some of the sensations associated with the condition are felt in the arms as well. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a division of the National Institutes of Health, says as much as 10 percent of the Canadian population may have RLS. Several studies show that approximately 2 to 3 percent of
adults are affected by moderate to severe RLS, which occurs in both men and women, though incidence of the condition is twice as high among women.
tom of RLS is an irresistible urge to move because of uncomfortable, and sometimes painful, sensations deep within the body. The sensations often
whether sitting down for long periods of time or when going to sleep. Symptoms may increase in severity throughout the night.
RLS symptoms may vary and change from day to day. Symptoms may subside early in the morning, but they often reappear and worsen at night. Although people of any age can be diagnosed with RLS, it is more often diagnosed in middle-aged men and women and seniors. The most common symp-
defy description but can range from pain, aching, creeping, crawling, or prickling feelings. Symptoms may occur at any time but are most evident when the body is at rest,
Those with RLS frequently experience periodic limb movements characterized by jerking and twitching, which can make it difficult to fall and stay asleep. Sleep deprivation
may carry over into daytime hours and make daily life difficult. Many with RLS also have concentration problems, impaired memory or struggle to perform daily tasks due to exhaustion. RLS symptoms may vary and change from day to day. Symptoms may subside early in the morning, but they often reappear and worsen at night. Considerable evidence points to a dysfunction in the brain’s basal ganglia circuits that rely on the neurotransmitter dopamine, which helps regulate muscle movements, as a contributor to RLS. Individuals with Parkinson’s disease often
have RLS as well. RLS may be a genetic condition, as it seems to run in families. Pregnancy, chronic diseases and medications can also aggravate symptoms of RLS. RLS is diagnosed by looking at certain qualifying criteria. Physicians will document symptoms and note when they occur. Treatment may involve a mixture of medications as well as therapies for relieving symptoms. Medications for RLS may lose their efficacy over time, and doctors may have to work with patients to develop a treatment plan that works.

IBS Treated With TCM Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is an intestinal disorder causing a variety of symptoms Dr. Chris Vallee which may include cramping, abdominal pain, gas, bloating, and irregular bowels. Some people with IBS have diarrhea with frequent loose stools, while others have constipation causing infrequent bowel movements that are difficult to pass. Still other IBS patients will suffer from alternating diarrhea and constipation. Symptoms are frequently triggered by stress, emotional factors, or the ingestion of food. IBS is the most common gastrointestinal disease seen by general practitioners and makes up 30-50% of all referrals to GI specialists. Women are affected three times more than men, with the average age of onset being between 20 and 40. Traditional Chinese Medicine is an ancient healing system that has been evolving for the last 3000 years. It started with the use of simple foods better known as Chinese Herbs to help strengthen the body to fight off disease. Acupuncture is a tool of TCM in which very find needles are in-

Stress is treated in Chinese medicine by working with the liver, because the liver in Chinese medicine deals with emotional problems. The liver in western medicine works as a filter to remove toxins from the body. If the Liver becomes toxic, than the body will become toxic as well and give symptoms like loose stools, diarrhea, pain, bloating, gas, etc. Medical doctors would say that this is inflammation in the digestive system; well in Chinese medicine we call this excessive heat in the digestive system. So the question is if the body is

absorption is for vitamins and minerals. If the intestines are damaged (inflammation) this means that the body will continue to break down as it is being further weakened from malnutrition. This can help explain why woman are more prone to IBS than men, woman need these vitamins and minerals to help regulate hormones and support all the changes that go on in the body every month. Due to the loss of blood every month during the menstrual cycle the body needs to replenish also.

Things to consider before downsizing The decision to downsize a home is often bittersweet. Many couples who downsize their homes do so after raising a family. A home might be filled with memories, but downsizing a home helps couples save more money, and that financial flexibility often allows men and women to more fully enjoy their retirement. But in spite of the financial impact of downsizing a home, there’s more than just money at stake for homeowners thinking of downsizing their homes. The following are a handful of factors homeowners should consider before downsizing to a smaller home.
Real estate market The real estate market can be a seller’s friend or foe. Many sellers have a sale price in mind when they decide to sell their home, but the real estate market can be fickle, so homeowners should do their research before putting their home up for sale. Will the current market make it easier for you to get the most for your home, or will you have to settle for less than you prefer? How fast are similar homes in your area selling? When studying the real estate market, it’s also a good idea to study the market for smaller homes. If you plan on moving into a condominium but the market is not flush with properties, you might end up paying more
than you want to for your new home, which might negate the savings you can expect from downsizing.
Furniture When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples realize their current furniture is unlikely to fit into a smaller home. That means couples will have to sell or donate their current furniture and then buy all new items for their new home. If it’s been a while since you purchased new furniture, you might be in for some sticker shock on your first visit to the furniture store. Another thing to consider regarding your furniture is which items you simply can’t live without. An antique dinner table
might have been the centerpiece for your family holidays over the last several decades, but there’s no guarantee it will fit into your smaller home. You may want to pass this down to your son or daughter, but that’s only possible if he or she has the room for it. Before deciding to downsize, consider your attachment to certain items that you may or may not be able to take with you to your new home and the emotional toll that selling such items might take if you’re left with no other options.
that accessibility is great, grandparents may find that it comes at the cost of less time with their grandchildren. That’s a steep price to pay for doting grandparents, and it may also impact your children if they frequently rely on grandma and grandpa for babysitting. Before downsizing, consider if you’re willing to move further away from your family. If not, you likely can still find a smaller home in close proximity to your current home and any nearby family members.
Proximity to family
Medical care
When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples move out of the suburbs and into cities or towns with more ready access to culture and restaurants. While
Many older men and women must also consider the effect that moving may have on their medical care. Downsizing to a home in the country may make it harder
to maintain contact with your current physician, and rural areas typically have less medical practitioners than more densely populated areas. In addition, if you have been visiting the same physician for years, you may not want to move and have to start all over again with a physician who is unfamiliar with your medical history. Consider how much maintaining your existing relationship with your physician means to you, and if your next home will provide the kind of access to medical care you’re likely to need. Downsizing is not just about moving into a smaller property. To ensure you’re making the right decision, many factors must be considered before downsizing.

Pets often make ideal companions. They are around when a person needs support, they can provide protection for those living alone, they’re always willing to lend an ear to problems, and many tend to offer unconditional love. Seniors facing an empty nest or the loss of a spouse may find pets can buoy their spirits. Studies have shown that seniors can benefit both mentally and physically from having a pet around. Pets can alleviate anxiety, depression and boredom. While pets can provide comfort and companionship, they remain a significant responsibility. Seniors should find an animal that will fit in with their lifestyles. This is an important consideration for those seniors who travel frequently or have mobility issues. In addition, men and women living in senior communities or assisted living facilities should determine if there are any pet restrictions in place. Those seniors who have decided that a dog will be the best fit can choose among several breeds that may be a good match for their needs. When selecting a dog, consider both size and temperament. Smaller dogs tend to be easier to handle and will need less maintenance. They are easily carried and won’t take as long to
bathe and groom. Smaller dogs also consume less food than larger breeds, reducing the expense of dog food and the hassle of wrangling large, heavy bags of chow. Temperament is also important, as some breeds tend to be more easygoing than others. Larger breeds may be preferable to a smaller breeds, which tend to be hyperactive. However, always remember there are pros and cons to each breed, and each dog will demonstrate his own personality traits. The following are some dogs that can be especially compatible with seniors.
Pug: Equally playful and willing to be a lap dog, the pug requires little exercise and grooming. The breed is typically nonaggressive and submissive. Pugs are good-natured and playful; they don’t often bark and are easy to train.
Shih Tzu: The Shih Tzu lives for attention, but this breed can be dominant and difficult to train. The Shih Tzu will be alert to its surroundings and, despite its small stature, can be a good watchdog.
Pomeranian: Pomeranians look like big balls of fur and can bring a smile to an

owner’s face. The breed tends to be perky, can display dominance and can be difficult to train. Because Pomeranians can be dog-aggressive, they may be best as the only pet in the house.
Yorkshire Terrier: The Yorkie is a diminutive breed in size only, as they tend to have exuberant personalities that dwarf their stature. The ideal lap dog, Yorkies want to lie around and lounge, though some do like to bark. If the fur is kept short in a “puppy cut,” the dog can be easy to maintain.
Pembroke Welsh Corgi: This medium-sized dog hails from Wales and typically requires only moderate exercise and little

These dogs do not shed, but they will require professional grooming at least once every 3 months. If socialized early, the Griffon can be a good companion but will likely remain wary of strangers. They are good watchdogs and devoted to their owners.

Exercise and the older woman The aging process has a way of making people risk-averse. Financial advisors typically recommend that men and women steer clear of risky investments as they age, and men and women over 50 often make lifestyle choices to reduce their risk of developing certain medical conditions. As women age, some may feel exercise is simply too risky. Hormonal changes brought on by aging decrease a woman’s bone density, and that fact makes many women over 50 hesitant to embrace exercise. But exercise plays a key role in helping women over 50 secure their
long-term health and reduce their risk of injury.
• Exercise promotes independence. Some women feel that exercising after 50 increases their risk of injury, which can make them overly dependent on their loved ones. But exercise, in particular strength training, slows bone deterioration, helping bones stay stronger longer and reducing a woman’s risk of suffering a potentially debilitating injury. Independence is especially important to seniors, many of whom spent years planning their retirements and awaiting the day when they would
be free to travel at their leisure. Daily exercise can help women maintain that independence by reducing their risk of injury and other ailments that can be confining. • Exercise can improve sleep. Some women who are fighting fatigue may feel that routine exercise will only make them more tired. But exercise actually improves energy levels and makes it easier to get a better night’s rest. Numerous studies have shown that routine exercise can improve sleep quality and even increase energy levels throughout the day, some-
thing that should raise an eyebrow among women who do not exercise but routinely find themselves fighting fatigue. A more quality night’s rest improves vitality, making it easier for women to exercise and make it through the day without feeling fatigued. • Exercise benefits those with limited mobility. Women over 50 with limited mobility may feel that exercise serves no purpose because of their disability or physical condition. But even women confined to wheelchairs or those forced to walk with a cane or
walker can benefit from cardiovascular exercise and even light strength training. Such exercises can improve a woman’s range of motion while reducing her risk of heart disease. • It’s never too late to start exercising. Many aging women feel their time to embrace exercise has long since passed. But it’s never too late to start exercising. Women should take a conservative approach when exercising after a long hiatus, beginning with a slow walk around the neighborhood or a local park. Walk-
ing is a great beginner’s exercise, as it provides a good cardiovascular workout while working a variety of muscle groups. As your body readjusts to physical activity, gradually increase the intensity of your exercise sessions, adding some strength training, ideally under the supervision of a professional. Always stretch immediately after each exercise session, and give your body ample time to recover, especially when you begin your new regimen.

Why We Bought at Cedar Valley Manor
A testimonial from one of the purchasers moving into Cedar Valley Manor in Mission, this fall: Joyce and I knew it was time to down-size after 29 years in the same house. Though we love gardening and entertaining, we also like to travel, and you reach a stage where climbing ladders to clear downspouts in the middle of a rainstorm isn’t fun anymore! What to do? We didn’t want the uncertainty of an apartment lease and using all our home equity to pay rent. We didn’t want to get involved in condo politics or battles over leaky condos and related problems. Neither were we interested in speculating, but thought it would be great to get our home equity back when we had to move to more assisted living. Then we discovered Cedar Valley Manor. Security of tenure, somebody else to clear the downspouts and all that related stuff ! A predictable return on our equity and no worries about maintenance, up-keep or management. Freedom to travel and know our home is secure, less cost than the up-keep of our old home, no snow to shovel or windows to de-ice and the security of our own home for as long as we want to stay at less cost than an apartment or condo! I know that our life-lease will run out in thirty years, but though I am an optimist, I know I’ll be ready to move on when I’m 112! We can hardly wait to move in! - Don and Joyce Olds.
WELL SAID DON! And if Don is still around when he’s 112, his lease will automatically be renewed for another 30 years, taking him to 142! And it is unlikely that Don and Joyce will ever have to move to assisted living because of three things: First, Cedar Valley Manor is an easy building to age in - no stairs, no yard work, safe bathrooms. The second is Cedar Valley Manor Connect - help and advice when you need it IF you need it. And third, the most powerful factor of all - living in a community of friends and neighbours is one of the very best things you can do for your health and well-being.

Mosquito control has begun in Fraser Valley The Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) is working to reduce summer’s least favourite visitor. Mosquito control in the Fraser Valley focuses on the largest source of mosquitoes in the region – those that hatch along the Fraser River corridor as river levels start to rise. The FVRD’s contractor, Morrow Bioscience Ltd., has already started to monitor, map, and treat mosquito breeding sites, and will continue to do so throughout the season, said FVRD. As part of the FVRD’s annual Nuisance

Goertz living out his vocation at Communitas Jonathan Goertz has been on staff at Communitas Supportive Care Services since the early 1980s. Born to career missionaries, Jonathan grew up in a family that served others. He found his home at Communitas. He has worked as a residential home manager and continues to support people with disabilities today as a Community Living Program facilitator, helping people develop the life skills they need to live independently in their community. In his 20+ years of work, Jonathan has seen significant changes in the way society treats people with disabilities. Change began when parents of people with disabilities living in institutions organized themselves and advocated passionately for their children, convincing the provincial government that this was not the way to care for vulnerable people in society. And so the deinstitutionalization process began in the early 1980s, moving people with disabilities out of large-scale institutions and re-settling them into small group homes. Communitas (then a program of Mennonite Central Committee BC), was already leading the way with this model and was asked to assist

Jonathan Goertz is the community living program facilitator at Communitas Supportive Care Services. in the process. During his training with Communitas, to prepare people for the transition to the group home model, Jonathan visited these institutions. The memory of those visits still stirs powerful emotions in Jonathan. He blinks back tears as he recalls the conditions in which people with disabilities were forced to live. “There was no privacy. Bathroom stalls had no doors. Bathtubs lined up in rows in a large open room. People slept four or eight to a room and spent most of their days in a large activity room with foam furniture and a TV that was bolted down behind Plexiglas,” he recalls. Having said that, he finds that he cannot blame the staff who worked in these institutions. This was simply the norm at the time and it was the only way to operate an institu-

tion given the staff to patient ratio. Jonathan clearly remembers the transformation of those first residents with whom he worked as the manager of a Communitas group home called Osprey. “People living in institutions developed ‘behaviours’ to deal with the boredom of their existence. There was nothing there to stimulate their minds or develop their social skills,” he says. The residents who came to live at Osprey were welcomed to their home. Interior doors were not locked. People were not tied down to their chairs or their beds at night. Staff spent one-on-one time with each person, helping them rediscover themselves. “Even in two weeks we began to see changes,” Jonathan says. “Eventually, the ‘behav-

him, this is not a job, it is a vocation – a life’s calling. “This is what I do, it is how I walk my faith,” he says. “I want to be able to live my passion and I can do that here.”

Two weeks from now, when Callum Pilgrim hits the field for the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship with her Fraser Valley Fusion 97A squad, it will mark her third straight year participating in the prestigious tournament. But without a doubt, this year’s edition is the most pressure-laden. Pilgrim, like the vast majority of her teammates, just put the finishing touches on her Grade 11 school year and is heading into Grade 12 in the fall. That means this summer is pivotal in terms of auditioning for post-secondary scholarships. And the Canadian Open, a massive event running July 11-21 in Surrey, is a magnet for university coaches and scouts. “It would be cool to see some scouts there,” centre fielder Pilgrim said, reflecting on the scholarship scrutiny. “But hopefully it doesn’t make us nervous, and we won’t do anything we wouldn’t normally do on the field.” The Fusion are a regional rep club, and Pilgrim is one of two Abbotsford players on the 97A squad – shortstop Mikaila Kerr is the other. Head coach Gord O’Grady speaks highly of both in terms of both their talent and their coachability.

O’Grady has been with this group of Fusion players for the past six years, and though they had a fair amount of roster turnover heading into this season, they’ve heated up of late, reeling off a recent seven-game winning streak in league play. “I’m a fair-weather guy, and we don’t go in a lot of earlyseason tournaments because the weather is so up and down in April,” he said with a chuckle. “But as we’re coming towards the Canadian Open and provincials, it’s the right time to be peaking.”

New home for Abbotsford family Vikki HOPES
ABBOTSFORD NEWS Habitat for Humanity Upper Fraser Valley turned over the keys on June 14 to a new home for a local family. The house at 34608 Farmer Rd. was presented to the Fonseca family, who were selected for the residence a year ago from several applicants. Single mom Joscelyne now lives in the two-storey house with her two sons, ages 11 and 12. Habitat for Humanity builds homes in partnership with selected families, who pay an interest-free loan and never pay more than 30 per cent of their total family income for their housing. They also provide more than 500 “sweat equity” hours in building the home. The local Habitat for Humanity paid for the Farmer Road property, and the home was built with about $80,000 worth of donated materials, $40,000 in cash donations, and more than 2,800 hours of donated labour from 65 to 75 volunteers. Ken Friesen Construction donated much of the labour and co-ordinated the volunteers, as well as collecting $40,000 in cash donations. Much of the funds also came from proceeds of the ReStore – located at 34220 South Fraser Way in Abbotsford – which sells donated new and used building supplies, home decor and furniture.

Ward said. Catcher Lynsey Christianson is staying in B.C. – she’s headed down the road to Douglas College in New Westminster. “It’s nice to stay close to home – I’m pretty close with my family,” she enthused. The quartet join fellow Yaleans Taylor Lundrigan and Katherine Murnaghan, who signed with Simon Fraser University back in December, in the post-secondary softball ranks. “It’s kind of neat that they’ll all grown up together and are now getting this opportunity,” said Yale softball academy coach Jen Schreyer.

Habitat for Humanity board of directors, said the Farmer Road home was a “huge community project” with a big payoff. “It’s a life-changing experience for our families (to receive a home),” he said.

It’s been a banner year for softball players out of Abbotsford’s Yale Secondary, and four more seniors have landed university scholarships. Makayla Kowaliuk, Callie Ward and Jordana Goncalves are headed south of the border. Shortstop Kowaliuk has signed with the University of New York at Buffalo, an NCAA Div. I school, while Goncalves, a centre fielder/ pitcher, is headed to Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska, an NAIA program. Ward, who plays third base, is ticketed for Georgia Highlands College. “It’s a different environment, and I’m excited about that,”

local Habitat for Humanity, said the store raises funds to cover all the organization’s administration costs, while still leaving extra to support the building of a new home. For example, Rempel estimates that $50,000 from ReStore profits went toward the Farmer Road home. The support of the ReStore ensures that 100 per cent of the funds donated to a build are used for that purpose, he said. Last year, the ReStore raised about $260,000 in Abbotsford.

scholarship from the University of Prince Edward Island. The sharpshooting 6'5" small forward graduated from Abby Senior in 2013, having averaged 24 points per game with the Panthers during his Grade 12 season. He moved on to UBC, but as the year wore on, he came to a realization. "I missed playing basketball too much to just do school," he said with a chuckle. To that end, he connected with UPEI coach Tim Kendrick, and his skills seem well-suited to the program's uptempo offence. "It seemed like a really good fit," Brar explained. "They shoot the ball a lot (from the outside), and that's probably my favourite part of the game. I think I can help them out."
Hoopsters to suit up for B.C. A trio of local basketball players have been named to Team B.C. for the North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) next month. Jaylene Soegard of Robert Bateman Secondary and Denelle Hauck of W.J. Mouat have been selected for the U19 girls basketball team, while Mouat's Corey Hauck is on the U19 boys squad.

Silver is sweet for Etienne, Team Canada Dancers every day! 91-82 in overtime to set up a title-game clash with a U.S.A. squad helmed by University of Florida Gators head coach Billy Donovan. The Americans prevailed 113-79, but the runner-up result nevertheless represented Canada’s best-ever finish at the tournament. Etienne, a 6’9” centre who is set to join the NCAA’s University of Washington Huskies in the fall, averaged 3.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per game at the FIBA Americas.

Stowe, Vermont – Despite the relatively early call time, a group of almost 100 Mazda Miata/MX-5 drivers/ passengers gathers for the morning’s meeting. The weather is looking favourable even though the morning envelops the
crowd with its chilliness. It’s not raining though. That’s a good sign. Tour organizer and former Trillium Miata Club president, Gary Svoboda, talks about the day’s journey, addresses some basic housekeeping rules, makes some jokes and engages in witty banter with a group of excited Miata enthusiasts. Everyone is ready to hit the roads of Vermont in their tiny, drop top, two-doors. Everything from first generations Miatas, to the latest
and greatest rear-wheel drive roadsters line the gravel parking lot of our home base, also known as the Stowehof Inn. Stowe, claim to fame is as a ski destination. Currently, its claim to fame is the 46 Mazdas that drove in from Ontario and are congregating for their annual tour. Each May long weekend, a group of club members look forward to the event. It’s been going for more than 20 years and hasn’t disappointed. The crowd gets rowdier by the minute
so go-time is just around the corner. The meeting wraps up; we branch into our respective groups and fire up the engines. As honorary members for the event, my co-pilot – aka my mother Zsuzsanna Straub – and I get behind the wheel of our MX-5. Within moments, we’re topless. The car. Not us! Seven vehicles comprise a group, including a leader and a sweeper. We’re comfortably nestled in the bosom of the pack.
Our job is to enjoy ourselves, as well as give the MX-5 a little bit of room to romp free. It’s hard not to smile on the undulating roads of Vermont, which are lined with trees, houses, fields and topped off with a bovine scent! Then there is what is called “The Notch.” A mountain road where emaciated limbs of indigenous trees look like they’re reaching out and trying to touch the cars. Boulders are scattered and the path is paved

Forty-six Miatas made an annual trek from Ontario to Stowe, Vermont
around it. The intermittent obstacles would likely be the outcome of two Greek gods having a rock fight. You would have to have superhuman strength to move them. The sinuous and slender road is a hoot to drive through especially with no one in front of you. The occasional crackling on the CB radios frequently is overpowered by instructions from the leader. Like a mother duck summoning her young, we followed in order. We stuck together and took in some breathtaking scenery of New England. Scenery aside, what was the most interesting to breathe in was the enthusiasm and energy of the Miata owners. Liz Burns has “Miatatude” stickered across her windshield. Miata earrings dangle from her ears as she professes her love of her emerald beauty. Another owner decided to turn his conventional doors into ones that open up not out. At breakfast, lunch and din-

ner, they regale each other with stories of other events they’ve been on. Outbursts of laughter perk up the ears of bystanders; making them wish they were at that table reliving the memories. The camaraderie of those young and young at heart is undisputable. Regardless of background, profession, or preference in exterior colour, few vehicles in the world bring people together as strongly as Mazda’s MX-5. Liz was one of the first members of the Trillium Miata Club. She expected to join a group of Miata owners and drive with them on weekends. Liz says she “didn’t expect to make friends for 25 years” but she did. And as the Miata/MX-5 turns 25 this year, here’s to another quarter century of promoting the best that life has to offer: the bond of mankind and machine, 167 horsepower at a time.

Eye-catching steel at collector car nirvana
by Keith Morgan
Mk 3: The last year of production for the Austin-Healey 3000, a very popular British sports car built from 1959. A good friend of mine owns a number of Healeys in various states of (dis) repair and one or two roadworthy examples. Keep hoping he’ll gift me one that’s closer to restoration. 1934 Chrysler Airflow: It’s a piece of art. Check out the unusual grille. It has
less than 53,000 miles on the clock and was discovered in a north west garage back in the 1980s. 1940 Ford Custom Pickup: Not my cup of tea but I may be in the minority judging by the swarming behaviour of the crowd this weekend. 1957 Pontiac Convertible: Really don’t like the coral colour but love everything else about it. It’s a 1957 Star Chief
Convertible with a continental kit. 2002 BMW M3: It’s a musicmobile judging by the amazing sound system. But it’s no slouch on the non-musical performance front. It has a 3.2L turbo 525 HP engine.

You didn’t need a bidder’s paddle to enjoy the excitement of the second annual Vancouver Collector Car Show & Auction. More than 650 collector and classic autos descended upon the PNE Fairgrounds this past weekend and another 150 went on the block, many surpassing their reserve bid limits. Speed TV’s Steve Magnante was on hand to move the auction along but the cars were the true stars. Yours truly focused on the beauties that were for sale, as many of the gems displayed by the car clubs represented at the show will undoubtedly show up in Driveway over the summer season of show and shines. Here are 10 that caught my eye – a photo gallery of the cars mentioned but not published here, can be viewed online at drivewaycanada.ca. 1955 Chevrolet 2-door Post Sedan: For those who like to make a visual a well as audible impression. No chance of cruising quietly around the neighborhood in this loudly painted Chev with the big block 468 CID V8, 650 hp engine, which is now capable of pushing out 720 horses and a promised 825 at the next tuneup. 1952 Nash: I’ve always liked the funky look of these cars. They are positively odd but I love’em. There was another example featuring a matching tow trailer. 1956 Desoto Fireflite Hemi: This Desoto is still powered by its original 330 CID Hemi V8! – A marque long gone from production but vividly remembered in the minds of collectors. 1928 Ford Modified road-
ster: Handsome beast. This 1928 Model A Roadster Custom features a 302 engine from a 1978 Lincoln and its mated to 1978 C4 auto transmission. 1932 Ford Roadster: Likewise the looks of this Ford Roadster, which has a 350 Chevy Ramjet engine and auto tranny. Built from the ground up with brand new parts by Kaotic Customs in Langley. 1967 Austin Healey 3000

Six of the best TV cop cars
by Rob Sass
The cop show genre goes back to the pre-TV days of radio. Here are some favourite full-size, rear-wheel-drive American cop cars from 60 years of the best cop shows: “Adam 12” (1972 AMC Matador): Although it was shot in the 1970s, in many ways, “Adam 12” was a throwback to 1950s cop shows in which gangs, heroin dealers and street snitches didn’t exist and officers Reed and Malloy played by Kent McCord and Martin Milner rarely drew their guns, let alone actually capped anyone. In seasons five through seven, they drove an AMC Matador. In actuality, the LAPD was always a strong supporter of underdog American Motors; they owned more than 500 Matador black and whites at one time. “TJ Hooker” (1979 Dodge St. Regis): This show featured William Shatner in a relatively forgettable cop show that starred perhaps the least believable cop of all time, Heather Locklear. For much of the show’s run, Shatner drove an equally forgettable Malaise-Era Mopar full-size sedan, the Dodge St. Regis. It’s fascinating to see them on the show because few people can remember the last time they saw one on the road – they’re nearly extinct. “Southland” (1999 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor): No list of great cop cars would be complete without the classic Ford Crown Vic. The last full-size rear-wheel-drive Ford was produced from 1992-2011. The Crown Vic was the most widely used police car and taxi in the U.S. and Canada, and although they’re starting to give way to the Dodge Charger, they still show up in the rearview mirrors of speeders everywhere.

Choose your perennials for summer colour
By adding some very special mid-season perennials, you can make an enormous difference to the whole look and feel of your summer garden. Because many other garden plants may be on their way out, these perennials will look good while tolerating the intense summer heat, drought and occasional heavy rainfalls. At the very top of my list of favourites are the rudbeckias. The tender perennial varieties provide yeoman service at this time of year, especially the compact R. ‘Becky’ series, and the smaller flowered, low growing variety named after Dorothy’s
Brian
Minter
Gardening dog in the Wizard of Oz, Toto. This is their time to shine. Perhaps one of the finest of all the rudbeckias is the truly hardy variety R. ‘Goldsturm.’ Growing about two feet high with deep golden petals surrounding a dark brown button, ‘Goldsturm’ just
keeps pouring out the colour well into October. Rudbeckia ‘Early Bird Gold’ is truly two weeks earlier for fast colour and the new dwarf Rudbeckia ‘Gold Star’ forms a low round ball of amazing colour. Echinacea has been more recently sold as a herb because of its healing properties, but it also has exquisite flowers. ‘Echinacea purpurea’ is sold as the herbal variety, but pink E. ‘Magnum’ and the white flowering ‘White Swan’ are classy looking plants that add an unique quality to summer gardens. They last well, even tolerating some
frost, and the spent blossoms make interesting dried flowers. There are all kinds of new colours, like ‘Tomato Soup’ and ‘Hot Coral Salsa’, and the new ‘PowWow Wildberry’ and ‘White Berry’ are so prolific and stunning – they are a continuous source of colour. The new E. ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ is a great plant, having lovely warm prairie colours. In shady spots or in full sun, perhaps the most elegant of all the summer perennials are the Japanese anemones. In colours of white, pink or dusty rose, these plants are a definite hit at this time of year.

Mukhtiar Singh Neger April 28, 1929 - June 22, 2014
Mukhtiar Singh Neger born April 28, 1929 passed away peacefully on June 22, 2014 with his family by his side. Mukhtiar Singh was born in Auger, Punjab, India. Mukhtiar Singh is survived by his loving wife Basant Kaur, their 3 sons and their wives, 3 daughters and their husbands, 13 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren. In 1947, at the young age of 18, Mukhtiar Singh left his two sisters in India to join his father, Partap Singh, in Canada. Both father and son worked in various sawmills to provide for themselves and their family back in India. The work consisted of strenuous physical labour from sunrise to sunset. While Mukhtiar Singh was living in Mission, he went back to India in 1952 to marry Basant Kaur. With his new wife and his father, they settled in Vancouver in 1953. Mukhtiar Singh continued to work in the mill and later saved enough money to purchase his first farm in 1960 with his father in Yarrow.

ABBOTSFORD AUTOMOTIVE SHOP ONE OF FASTEST GROWING IN NORTH AMERICA In eight short years Abbotsford born collision, audio and custom car company 360 Fabrication has amassed over 5000 awards and trophies and has been featured in a slew of international magazines. With a clientele spanning the globe, 360 is now Canada’s largest custom car shop, one of North American’s fastest growing custom shops and one of the region’s most impressive business success stories. In 2006 brothers Rick and Daryl Francoeur set out to establish a reputation for excellence across 360’s three business streams, but after consistently exceeding expectations the company is now regarded as a global industry leader. “Our goal always was to do exceptional quality work, and I think we achieve that every day. We employ 36 of the best experts in painting, bodywork, audio, upholstery and fabrication in the country and because of that we’re now on pace to be the biggest shop of our kind in North America, likely within the next five years.” 360 Fabrication has recently been selected by premier French audio company Focal Sound to be their dealer of record; was commissioned by one of the world’s most impressive brands, Red Bull, to conceptualize, design and build a series of projects including the Red Bull Concert Bus, and was selected to be the first custom car shop in the nine-decade plus history of the Vancouver International Auto Show to be featured on the prestigious main show floor alongside the world’s top auto manufacturers. So much attention is coming 360’s way that the Francoeurs are even looking at a series of offers for their own reality television show. But perhaps it’s internationally renowned classic car expert Nigel Matthews who says it best, “I’m often asked if I could recommend a restoration shop. To be honest with you, I would be hard pressed to come up with enough names to fill the fingers of one
