Cannon complaints increase

Tyler Olsen Abbotsford News

The number of complaints about propane cannons rose substantially this growing season – the first year for a bylaw regulating the noisy devices used by berry farmers to ward off birds. Mayor Henry Braun isn’t sure whether the increase in complaints reflects louder neighbourhoods or an awareness by residents that bylaw officials now have some power to enforce rules regulating the devices. The city has fielded 20 complaints so

far in 2015, up from just three last year. A total of 122 farms in Abbotsford are now registered under the Audible Bird Scare Device Bylaw, which gives the city the ability to enforce rules surrounding the use of cannons and fine those who don’t comply. It also requires farmers using one of the devices to create a bird management plan and post a sign with phone numbers – for city bylaw officers and the Blueberry Council – that can be called by residents who have issues. The bylaw though, is limited in its scope, Continued on A4

CLEANED OUT BY THIEVES

Vikki Hopes Wade Saint Ange, 14, was devastated when his close friend Marcus Larabie was killed after being struck by a car on Dec. 26, 2014. The two had shared a love of longboarding, and earlier this year, Wade began talking about having some kind of event to memorialize his friend and other fallen longboarders. “I just don’t want any more kids to die,” he told workers with In It Together, a gang prevention and intervention program at Abbotsford Community Services. Over the next several months, that idea flourished into what has become a sanctioned longboard competition and race. The Yardwaste Downhill Memorial Race presented by Landyachtz Longboards takes place tomorrow (Saturday) on the portion of Discovery Trail that is located off Homestead Crescent in west Abbotsford. Registration begins at 10 a.m., and racing runs from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. The trail will be closed to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. In It Together has partnered with

Yardwaste Downhill – an Abbotsford-based group of longboarders who promote safety and awareness – to organize the event. Jonny Lachapelle and Michael Bridge of Yardwaste said the group hopes to debunk the negative misconceptions that some people have about longboarders. They said skaters have the right to be on the road – following the same rules as cyclists, for example – and are in control of their board, but they are often labelled as nuisances. On the flip side, they understand that some longboarders could use education about road safety and the necessity of wearing helmets and other equipment. Events like the memorial race in Abbotsford help educate the public and skaters alike, they said. Stephen James of In It Together said longboarding is a means of transportation for many of the young people he comes across, and also provides a positive form of recreation. “I work with youth, and I want to see them getting hooked to this kind of stuff because it’s, by and large, very positive,” he said.

Police officer. If the IIO determines that the officer might have committed an offence, a report will be filed with Crown counsel to determine whether any charges should be laid. Dustin, 11, was longboarding downhill along Bevan Avenue near Cascade Street on May 31, 2014, when he took a spill and hit his head on the pavement. He was not wearing a helmet. He died in hospital two days later. Dakota, 19, died in hospital on May 1 of

this year, a few hours after he was hit by a vehicle at McCallum and Marshall roads. A longboard was found at the scene, but it has not been confirmed whether he was riding it at the time of the collision. The incident is still under investigation with the APD.

and friends during the event opening from 1 to 1:30 p.m. Marcus, 14, was struck by a car on Dec. 26, 2014 while he was in the area of Bourquin Crescent West and Mill Lake Road. He passed away in hospital a few hours later. It has not been confirmed whether he was on a longboard at the time. The matter is still before the Independent Investigations Office, which is investigating the incident because the driver was an off-duty Abbotsford

as the use of cannons is protected by the provincial Right to Farm Act and the guidelines surrounding their use are set out by the Ministry of Agriculture. A previous bylaw developed by council was rejected by the ministry in 2013. In spite of the higher complaint numbers, Braun said most residents he has talked to about the issue say the disturbance from cannon use seems to have diminished this year. “Generally, people tell me two things: one is they think there is less noise. And they’ve also remarked that there seems to be considerably less starlings around.” But some residents haven’t been as pleased, with Bradner resident Merv Loewen telling The News that the frequen-

cy of the cannon blasts in his area seems to have increased in 2015. “Last year they had backed off a little bit,” Loewen said. He also questioned what, if anything, is done to evaluate whether farmers are actually acting on the bird management plans they are required to create. Braun said no fines have been issued this year, as bylaw officials have aimed to increase awareness of the rules with farmers. But he warned “You can expect to see fines if these things continue.” That is if the city can prove a violation is occurring on a specific farm, which Braun said can sometimes be difficult given the density of blueberry farms in Abbotsford. Fines begin at $200 for the first offence of most violations, rising to $500 for third and

subsequent offences. This fall, staff will bring to council a report on starling management, with recommendations for action. In the meantime, Braun said Abbotsford is forwarding data collected this growing season to the province, with the hope that restrictions will be eased for municipal governments hoping to further regulate the devices. Right now, the city is one of several B.C. communities with nearly identical bylaws governing the cannons’ use. “I’m hopeful that we’re going to have more opportunity to create individual farm bylaws,” Braun said, pointing to the need for larger setbacks in areas where berry fields abut residential subdivisions. “All we can do now at this point is make sure the [current] guidelines are adhered to.”

Beware of false tax calls

Abbotsford News The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is noting an increase in telephone scams where the caller claims to be from the CRA. The CRA says the calls are fraudulent and could result in identity and financial theft. Some recent telephone scams involve callers threatening taxpayers

or using aggressive and forceful language to scare them into paying fictitious debt to the CRA. Victims receive a phone call from a person claiming to work for the CRA and saying that taxes are owed. The caller requests immediate payment by credit card or convinces the victims to purchase a prepaid

credit card and to call back immediately with the information. The taxpayer is often threatened with court charges, jail or deportation. The CRA advises that anyone getting such a call should hang up and report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre toll free at 1-888-495-8501 The agency says that when it calls

a citizen, it has established procedures in place to make sure personal information is protected. Anyone wanting to confirm the authenticity of a CRA telephone number can call the CRA. The number for business-related calls is 1-800-9595525. The number for calls about individual concerns is 1-800-959-8281.

Near-record summer brings a host of challenges

New Patients Welcome!

City water, parks, farmers all hit by hot, dry weather Laura Rodgers Abbotsford News

So far, this is the second-hottest summer on record for Abbotsford, according to Environment Canada. It’s also the ninth driest. The mean temperature for June, July and August to date was 18.8 C, a number that hasn’t been beaten since 1958 when the mean was 19.1 C. The hot, dry weather has had wide-ranging effects all over the community — from farming troubles to municipal water restrictions. Smaller-than-usual snowpack levels, combined with the lack of rain, impacted the Abbotsford-Mission municipal water supply, prompting Stage 3 water-usage restrictions in early July. Officials speculated at the time that it might be necessary to escalate to Stage 4 by mid-August. However, demand decreased by nine per cent, and stricter measures weren’t necessary.

A tractor kicks up dust while plowing a Sumas Prairie field earlier this summer. “The demand is way down. We’re good,” said city spokesperson Katherine Treloar. Current restrictions ban all use of sprinklers and non-recirculating fountains. Plant watering and car washing are still allowed using a spring-loaded hose nozzle. While 261 first warning notices were issued in Abbotsford during the first two weeks of the restrictions, only 20 have been handed out since. There were also 12 second warnings written

in the first two weeks and 15 since. Only one fine has been issued, for $100. The city has been restricting watering on some parks, although some is necessary to avoid replacing turf. While brown lawns and dried gardens are a sacrifice locals are ready to make, those who rely on farming for their livelihoods have been hit particularly hard by this summer’s conditions. Sonja Barker, who farms mainly fruits and berries with her

husband in Mission’s Silverdale area, said the hot, dry weather has brought a host of problems. Barker also sits on the board of the Fraser Valley Farm Direct Marketing Association. The warm temperatures hit her strawberry crop hard, causing it much of it to ripen early with useless fruit. “Shriveled-up little berries, they turned red before they could put on size.” She had to dump close to a thousand pounds of spoiled or unsaleable

fruit. Because of last year’s mild winter, pests like aphids weren’t killed off by the cold, and they swarmed her cabbage and kale. The far-reaching dryness made watering less efficient – any water Barker put on the ground would seep away quickly to surrounding areas. “It’s heartbreaking…it’s very difficult in these conditions,” she said. The weather is predicted to start turning the corner today, when a low-pressure trough from the west is expected to replace the high-pressure ridge that’s been hanging over much of the province for months. There are days of rain forecast, but they won’t be enough to bring river, groundwater and moisture levels back to normal yet. “Every drop in the bucket helps. This will be the first significant rain since the beginning of June,” said Lisa Coldwells, a meteorologist with Environment Canada.

Smoke levels still elevated Laura Rodgers Abbotsford News

While a recent air quality warning has been lifted for the Fraser Valley area, smoke levels remain elevated for certain times of day. Day-long averages are staying below B.C. Ministry of Environment target levels, but there have been temporary spikes at night and into the morning when smoke settles in low-lying areas, according to Eric Taylor, an air quality meteorologist with the ministry. “Smoke concentrations in Abbotsford are quite high,” Taylor said of the con-

ditions Aug. 27. Taylor said the Fraser Valley has been at risk of even higher smoke levels as the many wildfires in eastern Washington State continue to burn. Winds primarily from the southwest continue to bring the bulk of the smoke to the eastern interior of B.C. “The real heavy smoke is being kept east of the Fraser Valley,” said Taylor, adding that the winds wouldn’t have to change much to bring smoke toward the Abbotsford area. Smoke levels have been highest in this area in the night and early morning because heat from the sun causes air tur-

bulence by the afternoon that disperses smoke particles, he said. The air quality advisory was put in place from Aug. 23 to Aug. 25 by Metro Vancouver. Ken Reid, superintendent of environmental monitoring for Metro Vancouver said a surprisingly small amount of smoke can cause this highly visible effect. “It’s at low levels now, but it can have a very dramatic effect on visibility,” said Reid. Smoke levels are expected to drop even further as anticipated rain washes down smoke particles and increases air quality.

QUESTION

WebTalk

OF THE WEEK

Parental sex abuse

Has noise from propane cannons decreased in your area this season?

Six years for raping his daughter. What a slap in the face. She is worth more than six years. Disgusting. Nicole Steele These parents took their child’s innocence away, they should be punished far longer than that. This is tragic and sick. That poor young lady. Dawn Browne

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Good for this young girl for seeking help and justice. Such a courageous act to walk away from what is suppose to be a loving a nurturing relationship. Kendra Deglan

Are stricter conditions needed for sex offenders living in the community?

Personally. I think they should both be locked away for life. But given the reputation of our justice system under-punishing sexual predators, and constantly releasing them into our community, the four and six years seems like a stiff sentence. Krista Petrie

203 responded:

YES: 90 % NO: 10 %

There may be a new dynamic in this election Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand In most Lower Mainland federal electoral districts, the First Nations vote is relatively insignificant. Not so in the new riding of Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon. It wouldn’t surprise me if aboriginals represent the largest ethnic bloc in the riding; their numbers large along the north bank of the Fraser from Mission to Agassiz and perhaps the majority in the Fraser and Thompson canyon areas. First Nations are also predominant in communities such as Lytton, Ashcroft and Lillooet so if a candidate in this riding wants to win, he (only “he” candidates are running) best be courting the native vote, because Assembly of First Nations Chief Perry Bellegarde is urging all indigenous people to get out and cast a ballot. There are 51 electoral districts across the country where First Nations can make the difference, and Mission-Matsqui-

Fraser Canyon is one of them. “(These) ridings can make a difference between a majority and a minority government. People are starting to see that,” Bellegarde told a general assembly of the AFN in Montreal recently. “Show that our people count. Show that our people matter. Show that we can make a difference. Show that our issues will not be put to the side.” If that battle cry is taken up, what might have been seen as a relatively safe Conservative seat elected by Abbotsford and Mission residents will be up for grabs. Bellegarde also points out that native youth are the fastest growing segment of Canada’s population, and he obviously wants them, along with the rest of First Nations to be heard loud and clear this election. I’m also certain that Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, who has long been a powerful voice in B.C. politics and First Nations

relationships, will be mobilizing the vote, particularly in those ridings in our province where natives can make a difference. Along with the electoral district in which I live, B.C. ridings targeted by the Assembly of First Nations include five on Vancouver Island, two in central B.C., one in South Okanagan/ Kootenay and two in Surrey. Only one has an incumbent Conservative, seven have no incumbent running. And lest anyone dismiss the potential electoral strength of First Nations, remember they have been recently empowered by the so-called Roger William decision that granted historic land title to the Nemiah band of the Chilcotin, along with other court decisions that now require governments and anyone else to “consult and accommodate” them. Such massive projects as the Site C power dam on the Peace and Petronas’ LNG plant near Prince Rupert also await First Nations approval or rejection before

It wouldn’t surprise me if aboriginals represent the largest ethnic bloc in the riding.

they can attempt to proceed. Aboriginals, long overlooked in Canadian politics, now certainly have the potential to become an electoral force. It’s anyone’s guess at this time if Bellegarde’s call to ballot box arms will resonate with First Nations to cast ballots in greater numbers than ever before, but if I were running in Mission-Matsqui-Etc. I’d certainly be out there combing the reserves (with permission, of course) for votes. From what I can gather, the current government is not held in the highest regard by First Nations leadership, while both Mulcair and Trudeau have committed to improving relationships should either form government. One way or another, the Assembly of First Nations wants to make a breakthrough in a culture that has traditionally shied away from federal and provincial politics. I think they may just do that this time around, and conceivably have a significant role in who will represent me, and everyone else, in Ottawa come October 19. markrushton@shaw.ca

Protection for produce sellers In order to address the gaps in protections between the two countries, the Canada-U.S. Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) mandate agreed to by President Obama and Prime Minister Harper in 2011 included a commitment to establishing a comparable Canadian approach for protecting Canadian and U.S. fruit and vegetable suppliers from buyers that default on their payment obligations. Due to a lack of progress in fulfilling this commitment, on Oct. 1, 2014, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) revoked Canada’s preferential access to the PACA. Creating of a limited statutory deemed trust that provides financial protection for produce sellers in Canada in the event of bankruptcies will meet the U.S. requirements for a comparable Canadian system in order to reinstate our preferential access to PACA. The Chambers recognize that the current situation puts Canadian agricultural companies in all provinces of Canada at an international disadvantage and have come together to call for action by the federal government.

Further to Bar Hayre’s Aug. 14 letter regarding the lack of payment protection for fruit and vegetable sellers, this will have significant consequences for the fresh produce industry in Canada, putting jobs, Canadian farms and other parts of the supply chain at risk. At the upcoming AGM of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in October, a resolution to deal with this outstanding issue is being jointly proposed by the Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce. The recommendation asks the federal government to support creation of a limited statutory deemed trust that provides financial protection for produce sellers in Canada in the event of bankruptcies. The assets available to trust creditors would be limited specifically to produce accounts receivable, and any cash and inventory from the sale of the produce. The trust does not require any government funding or administration. Historically, Canadian agriculture businesses have been protected under a long-standing preferential access to the U.S. Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA) guaranteeing protection in case of bankruptcies and when payment issues arise.

A home away from home dedicated to caring for children who live with complex healthcare needs.

Cut down number of train whistles

Toll free 800.622.5455

The concerns for area residents expressed by letter-writer John Vaughan in “Train chaos” in the Aug. 19 issue is commendable indeed. My letter is intended to motivate train engineers to contemplate more care and compassion for the many citizens who are asleep while they are travelling through in the middle of the night. Fact of the matter is this: On the two-kilometre stretch of railway along Mission Highway when entering Abbotsford, there are four railway crossings. Two are guarded; the two smaller ones are not. What is so annoying is the fact that countless train engineers activate their blaring train whistles at least four to six times for each crossing. This totals up to 24 penetrating whistles at least four times a week in the middle of the night. This is, as my father would say, “ Enough to make a preacher swear.” Many residents living in the area complain a blue streak. But what can they do to try to stop this nonsense? Now there may be a slim chance that something can be done if the Abbotsford mayor and council would strike a deal with the railway companies to cut down this noise to a reasonable and safe level at night. Other areas have a one-time whistle for each crossing at night. That would truly cut down on this utter nonsense. After all, some other country plans to use our Canadian railway. That should be worth a bit of consideration for the rest of us, don’t you agree? Gertie Pool Abbotsford

Not much left Abbotsford Village after U-Haul theft SHOPPING CENTRE

FREE BACK TO SCHOOL WORKSHOP

Public steps up to help U.S. family Abbotsford News

The U.S. military family whose U-Haul truck was stolen while they were staying overnight at an Abbotsford hotel has since found out that the thieves left almost nothing behind. But thanks to the support of people who heard about their plight, many of the items will be replaced. Anna Spencer and her five children had stopped in Abbotsford on the evening of Aug. 16 while en route from Georgia to their new residence in Fairbanks, Alaska. They were travelling to join husband and dad Ronald, an army man who had been stationed in Alaska and had been living there since May. Leaving the four-bedroom Georgia home where they had resided for seven years, the family loaded everything they owned into a 26-foot GMC U-Haul truck. This included all their furniture and other essentials, but also some irreplaceable items, such as several boxes of family photos; keepsakes that had belonged to Anna’s dad, who died 15 years ago; and military gear (no weapons) that Ronald had saved over his 15

years in the service. Sometime during the family’s overnight stay, thieves drove into the parking lot of the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre on North Parallel Road and made off with the U-Haul. The abandoned truck was discovered the next morning in Surrey, but it took a few days before the family was able to see the truck for themselves. Left in the vehicle, which had previously been packed from floor to ceiling, were just a few items, such as a mattress and some shelving units. Everything else was gone, including the irreplaceable keepsakes. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said in the days after the theft was reported in the media, a “huge and borderline overwhelming response” from the public resulted in many offers of cash and items. “A lot of people stepped up to try to make this right,” he said. MacDonald said Anna has repeatedly expressed how grateful and overwhelmed the family is for the support following such a difficult situation. Anna and her kids – ranging in age from 10 to 27 – were back on the road this week and should be now be in Alaska, MacDonald said. No arrests have yet been made.

Nearly one in three children not up-to-date with vaccinations The approach of the school year has Fraser Health Authority urging parents to get their children vaccinated to protect them from a range of diseases. Data released last year showed nearly one in three Abbotsford children who would be entering Grade 3 werenâ€™t up to date on all their vaccinations. Dr. Shovita Padhi, Fraser Healthâ€™s medical health officer for immunizations in Abbotsford, said that while vaccination rates are good for babies in the region, they drop off as children age and parents return to work. Children between four and six years old should have up-to-date booster shots to protect against polio, tetanus, diphtheria, chicken pox and whooping cough. Vaccinations are also received in grades 6 and 9 at school, with periodic immunizations also recommended throughout adulthood. According to last yearâ€™s data, only 71.8 per cent

of Abbotsford children born in 2006 were registered as being up to date on the combined vaccine that immunizes against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, polio, and haemophilus influenzae type b. In 2012, an outbreak of pertussis, also known as whooping cough, affected more than 100 people in the Fraser Valley, including three infants. Around 90 per cent of Grade 3 students were recorded as being immunized for hepatitis B, measles, mumps, varicella and meningococcal C conjugate, with 94.1 per cent up to date on their rubella shot. That data has flaws, however, and Fraser Health is conducting its own survey this year to get a better handle on the situation. The health authority stresses the need to immunize children in order to both protect individuals and to create herd immunity, which decreases the ability of diseases to spread among populations. Immunization appointments can also be made by calling your family physician or the local public health unit. Drop off your food items at

August an important time for vegetable gardens August is a very important transitional time in our vegetable gardens. Some vegetables are still maturing, but many others have finished completely, leaving gaps here and there that could still produce a few crops. In the Lower Mainland and the Valley, fast crops like lettuce, brassicas, peas, beans, radishes, swiss chard and beets can easily go in now, especially from started crops or transplants, for harvesting in October and November. In southwestern B.C., our vegetable gardens can be producing twelve months a year, and even in some colder parts of the province, selective planting can be done. Potted perennial vegetables, like horseradish, Jerusalem artichokes and rhubarb, can be planted now for harvest next spring. Perennial herbs like mint, parsley, chives, marjoram and oregano can also be planted for late fall and winter additions to your culinary dishes. Keep in mind that September is the best time to plant garlic for next year. For some delicious spinach-like greens, swiss chard can be planted now. Once established, it will tolerate a fair bit of cold before it either freezes or goes dormant. The

Many folks also transplant the late ‘Lacinato’(Black Tuscan), ‘Winterbor’ and ‘Redbor’ kale at this time of year, as well as late broccoli, late cabbage and yes, even self-blanching cauliflower. Winter hardy leeks can go in now as well, to round out your winter gardens. You will probably not have enough empty spaces to plant all these wonderful fall vegetables, but give some a try.

Brian

Minter

Gardening same is true of spinach. ‘Perennial spinach,’ which is actually a chard, and West Coast Seeds’ ‘Bloomsdale Savoy’ are two varieties that can be used in 45 days. Lettuce is, by far, the most popular of greens, and seeded now, almost any variety of leaf lettuce will do just fine. The ‘Butter Crunch’ type matures in about 60 days, while the loose leaf varieties, like ‘Black Seeded Simpson’ and ‘Red Sails’, will be on your table in 45 days. My favourite though is the ‘Simply Salad’ series of four different blends for late September and October enjoyment. Certain varieties of bunching onions and scallions can still be planted for fall harvests because they mature in 60 days. Up until that time, you have the greens to enjoy. There are also hardy winter varieties you can plant now for harvesting in spring. Believe it or not, ‘Walla Wallas’ are the hardiest onion and can be transplanted out now. Who can’t find a spot for radishes? Almost

any variety matures in 25 days and in drier weather, you will find fewer maggots. Keep them out of old cabbage areas and rake a little wood ash into the soil for better maggot control.

From the Abbotsford Board of EducaƟon Sunshine and lots of it! The summer of 2015 may be remembered as the hoƩest, driest summer we’ve ever had, breaking all the records and considered a ‘drought’. What a contrast, when so much of the Ɵme we live in a rainforest where our experience is ‘liquid sunshine’, where plants are typically lush, green and growing. While there has been a drought over the summer, we want our students’ educaƟonal experience to be rich with opportuniƟes for ongoing growth and development in classrooms Cindy Schafer all across the district. The Abbotsford School District is prepared and ready to meet each student this year with the delivery of educaƟon in rich and inspiring ways. Our goal is that students will conƟnue to grow as they develop new skills, build upon their informaƟon reservoirs, acquire new informaƟon, make new friends, and meet new teachers, principals and staī. Welcome back everyone! May this new school year be a wonderful Ɵme of growth and development for all – our students, parents and staī! ~ Cindy Schafer, Chair – Abbotsford Board of EducaƟon

Ledgeview Golf Course president John Hambley expects to meet with Kinder Morgan Canada officials in the coming weeks to discuss the impacts of the proposed expansion of the company’s Trans Mountain Pipeline on the course. The pipeline, which predates the city-owned course, runs directly through Ledgeview and crosses parts of 10 different holes. Should Kinder Morgan’s proposal to twin the pipeline be approved, Hambley said the resulting construction will inevitably affect the course’s operation and its approximately 320 members. “We know there’s going to be a disruption,” he said. “We’ve

al process. In their application, they write: “The construction would also have significant financial impact on the society from loss of revenue from public players.” While details have yet to be hammered out, Hambley said the company has shown a willingness to make the construction as unobtrusive as possible. If approved, Hambley

said it’s been suggested that construction would last six to eight weeks, but would take place during the winter to minimize the effect on the course. Ledgeview remains open during the winter, but conditions are obviously less enticing for golfers, and closures occur due to frost and, less frequently, snow. Should the pipeline be approved, construction locally isn’t expected to start for more than a year. “It’s a big deal, yet it’s still proposed,” Hambley said. “We’re taking it very seriously, yet there’s only so much one can do.” Construction on the course would also likely require rebuilding or replanting of foliage, although Hambley said the course would receive compensation.

Abbotsford News

Mobility under the Family Law Act One of the most difficult issues is when one parent seeks to move with a child When one parent seeks to move with a child to a distant location following separation, it is one of the most difficult issues for the courts and family lawyers to deal with. In the words of Master Keighley of the Supreme Court of British Columbia: “For good reason, the prospect of a relocation application invokes something akin to dread in some members of the court. Almost inevitably, someone’s heart is broken no matter what the outcome of the applica-

tion. If the party seeking to relocate is denied permission, plans are shelved, opportunities are lost and the overall welfare of the family, beyond considerations strictly concerned with the best interests of the child, are compromised. If the application is allowed, the party left behind struggles to maintain a relationship with the child often at considerable distance and expense, frequently in circumstances of modest means.” Generally, under the Family Law

Act the parent wishing to relocate is required to give 60 days’ notice to anyone else who is a guardian or has contact with the child. The other guardian who may wish to oppose the relocation will have 30 days MCNEILLY from delivery of that notice to file an objection to the move taking place. Generally the test to consider for

relocation is set out in the Family Law Act and includes considerations such as: 1) Whether the proposed relocation is made in good faith; 2) Whether the proposed relocation is likely to enhance the general quality of life of the child and, if applicable, the relocating guardian; 3) If the relocating guardian has proposed reasonable and workable arrangements to preserve the relationship between the child and the child’s other guardians or persons who are entitled to have contact with

the child. It is the difficult task of the court to weigh these factors along with a consideration of what is in the best interests of the child, in order to arrive at a decision that will result in the least disruption to the child and their relationship with each parent. Karen McNeilly is an associate lawyer with RDM Lawyers LLP in Abbotsford. She practises in the area of family law. Questions or comments about this article can be sent to legalease@abbynews.com.

Kabaddi Cup in Abbotsford Brandon KOSTINUK

Abbotsford News

The 15th Annual Kabaddi Cup takes place at the Abbotsford Centre (33800 King Rd.) this Sunday, Aug. 30. Including Abbotsford’s Kabaddi Club, the Lions, teams from Vancouver, Prince George and Richmond along with the Rajbir Raju and Harjeet Talwar Kabaddi clubs will be competing for the cup. According to Bubbal Sangur, of the Abbotsford Kabaddi Club, local players as well as those from the U.K., U.S. and India will be taking part. Kabaddi is a contact sport, with roots originating in India. It involves two teams of seven or eight — depending on the style being played — competing for the highest score over two 20-minute halves. To score a player must “raid” the opponents’ side of the court by entering their half and attempting to make contact with one or more opposing players using the hands or feet. If the player successfully touches an opponent and returns to his side of the court, which extends 11 metres on either side of the centre line on a circle-style pitch, he scores a point. If he touches three players and returns to his side then it counts as a three-point score in such games where this is permitted. After contact has been made, the objective of the opponent or defense is to trap the player so as to prevent him or her from crossing back over the centre line. If the raider is caught, he is considered out. The sport encompasses different rules between international and national styles of play, with India for instance, recognizing four major forms. The Kabaddi Cup, organized by the Abbotsford Kabbadi Club in association with the Canada West Kabaddi Federation, will be conducted under Punjabi Circle Style rules. Circle kabaddi does not require a raider to chant the word “kabaddi” during a raid, which is a requirement in some other styles such as under international rules to ensure the referee knows the player has not taken a breath during the attack. In addition, raids are one-on-one as the player contacted is the only one who can attempt to stop the attacking player. If a raider is caught and deemed out, he does not have to exit the field and a successful stop scores a point for the defence. The Kabaddi Cup kicks off at 11 a.m. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.

The PGA Tour FedEx Cup playoffs began yesterday with Abbotsford pros Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor among the field of 125 at the opening of The Barclays tournament at Plainfield Country Club in Edison, N.J. Hadwin, who flew into New Jersey on Monday and got in a full 18 holes of practice the following day, told The News he wasn’t working on anything in particular in the lead-up to the tournament. “The greens are fairly receptive, they’re fairly quick,” he said, “I have to try and hit precise targets.”

“There are a lot of tee boxes where you can’t see the pin,” Hadwin added. “There are a lot of blind shots so you have to trust where you’re shooting.” The playoffs feature a progressive cut, with gradually smaller fields over its four tournaments, with the next limited to the top 100 players. Hadwin entered the tournament seeded 95th with 584 FedEx Cup points and is coming off a decent outing following his 51st-place finish at the Wyndham Championships. “I didn’t play horrible, but disappointed,” he said of his performance last week. “I played pretty well for the first three days, kept the ball in play.

In order to qualify for the next tournament, the Deutsche Bank Championship, PGATour.com writer Chris Dunham estimated Hadwin needs to finish in 59thplace or better to guarantee a spot, although that depends on how those seeded below Hadwin play. For Taylor, who sits outside of the top 100, the road is a little more difficult. Dunham’s estimation is the Abbotsford Continued on A36

native must finish 50th or better to advance to the next stage. Taylor enters The Barclays as the 102nd seed, and over 3,500 points back from FedEx Cup points-leader Jason Day. The Plainfield Country Club course is a par-72 with a total yardage of 7,091. This is the second time The Barclays is being hosted at the New Jersey course. Golf fans may recall the first time in 2011 when the tournament was waylaid by Hurricane Irene which swept through the area. This year the weather is supposed to be much more cooperative. Sunny skies are slated for the round today with temperatures expected to

climb into the upper-20s. Notably absent are the second-seeded, Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia, who is ranked No. 31 in the world. Joining them on the absentee list are four other golfers, reducing the field to 119, the smallest turnout since the FedEx Cup era began in 2007. The total purse for The Barclays is $8.25 million with the winnerâ€™s share being $1.485 million and 2,000 FedEx Cup points. Next up is the Deutsche Bank (100 players), followed by the BMW Championship (70 players), before a reset takes place to seed the top 30 golfers for the season-concluding Tour Championship by Coca-Cola in late September.

The experience and skill of the University of the Fraser Valley womenâ€™s soccer team shone through on a preseason road trip to Oregon. The Cascades opened the tour last Tuesday with a 1-0 loss to the Portland State Vikings, a top NCAA Div. I squad, despite a solid team performance. But head coach Rob Giesbrechtâ€™s squad bounced back to earn three straight victories â€” 3-2 in overtime vs. Corban University on Friday, 2-0 vs. Pacific University on Saturday, and 3-0 vs. Concordia

University on Monday. â€œOur preseason trip to Portland was an excellent opportunity for our team to come together and to test ourselves against good competition,â€? Giesbrecht said. â€œIt was encouraging that our group improved throughout the trip and had our best performance in our last game.â€? The women open with two games at Abbotsford Senior Secondary, taking on the Victoria Vikes on Friday, Sept. 11 (4 p.m. start) and the UBC T-Birds on Saturday, Sept. 12 (5 p.m.).

Airshow president had sights set on skies since childhood Jim Reith learned how to fly before he learned how to drive. As the current president of the Abbotsford International Airshow, his passion for aviation stemmed from watching the Royal Canadian Armed Forces’ Golden Hawks as a young boy. He attended military college (RMC) and went on to fly the CF101 fighter jet, performing with the Snowbirds Air Demonstration Squadron. He says there are moments during his time as an Air Force pilot that he still remembers vividly; flying at supersonic speeds and doing aerobatic demonstration manoeuvres only a few feet from the other members of the formation. He came on board with the Abbotsford Airshow as an air boss in 2000, and as they say, the rest is history. “I believe that air shows are an important part of keeping us linked to our aviation heritage and the heroes of flight who helped build and defend this country,” he says. “We partner every year with the RCAF and with

foreign air forces to allow them to demonstrate to the public the teamwork and professionalism of the military.” The Abbotsford Airshow recently wrapped up its 46th show, which proved to be another successful year for Reith and his team of organizers and volunteers. “There were many highlights, including the

history and following the careers of many pilots some of whom he has had a chance to meet. “I had the honour to chat with Stocky Edwards over in Comox, where we were watching their airshow, and he is a terrific gentleman,” says Reith. “I also met, some years ago, Sir Douglas Bader - the legendary amputee fighter ace of the Battle of Britain who led 242 ‘All Canadian’ fighter squadron in that conflict.” Reith’s story unfolds almost poetically; a young boy watching planes streak across the sky, to JIM REITH becoming a successful pilot himself, and then going on Breitling Jet Team, the to facilitate one of the most restored Mosquito fighter popular airshows in North bomber, the twilight show America. His advice – as and the Battle of Britain corny as he says it may commemoration,” he says, sound – is to follow your “but the one best memory dreams. was the performance of the “I set my sights on F22 Raptor, an aircraft that becoming an Air Force absolutely dazzled us all with manoeuvres that pilots pilot and kept that target in sight throughout high like myself could scarcely school and college,” he says. believe were possible.” Reith has spent a lifetime “Dreams often do come true, especially when you immersed in the world of work hard at making that aviation – from flying planes to studying their so.”

I set my sights on becoming an Air Force pilot and kept that target in sight throughout high school and college.

Do you ever have pain in one of your feet first thing in the morning when you get up? Is it stiff and sore? Does it feel like it has to warm up before you can start to move? Ouch! That is plantar fasciitis and it needs to be treated DR. CHRIS soon. But not just the foot, the VALLEE whole leg. During the summer, I see patients that have started training for some kind of an event: marathon, triathlon, soccer, or even something like extended hiking. With new activity goals comes more training, running, biking, or working out. We start to use our legs more, and depending upon how hard we train, sometimes the legs get worked too much in one area and we develop adhesions in the muscle. We call these “trigger points.” What do trigger points have to do with plantar fasciitis? Trigger points are knots in the muscle that create “referral pain”—pain that occurs somewhere other than where the problem originates. If we look at the muscles in the calf, we have two big muscles called the soleus and the gastrocnemius that help to move the foot in different directions. They also support the foot and allow us to move forward with running or going up hills. When these muscles get tight, they pull on the foot. More importantly, they pull on the plantar fascia, a group of connected tissues on the bottom of the foot, creating tension and inflammation. When this occurs, it causes pain in the bottom of the foot. In simple terms, this condition is called inflammation of the plantar fascia (fasci + itis).

This condition does not only happen to athletes or weekend warriors, it can also affect those of us who like to show off our feet in the summer. When we wear sandals that don’t have good support in the sole, the muscles in the foot and calf must work harder and therefore start to create knots in those muscles that cause pain or referral pain. How do we treat this so that we can reduce the inflammation and start the healing process? First, start by seeing if the foot responses to cold or heat. Usually, heat will feel better, as there is muscle in the plantar fascia that wants to be warm to allow blood to flow through it. In addition, the leg needs to be treated. A patient can start to stretch the leg with specific stretches to help lengthen the muscles involved. Treatments like acupuncture or massage can help to relax the muscles and reduce or even remove the trigger point so that the problem can be fixed. This normally doesn’t take too long; it really depends on how long the problem has been there. On average, six weeks of treatment might prevent six months of ongoing pain. Acupuncture can be a good treatment for plantar fasciitis, but a chronic problem may require other approaches that can complement the acupuncture. Just remember that the site of the pain is not always where the problem lies. If you are only treating the foot, than you may only be treating half the problem. Good health to you! Dr. Chris Vallee is a doctor of Tradition Chinese Medicine working in Abbotsford.

Powerfully posh wheels for cruising Primrose Hill

to the metal, I did cause the horses to break into more than a gallop – zero to 100 km/h in just over 4.2 seconds. The Gran Coupe purrs along and effortlessly breezes by anything you choose it to pass. The sevenspeed Steptronic tranny offers seamless movement between the gears. I’m not the biggest fan of gearshift paddles but it was fun playing with them on a busy stretch close to my destination. Approaching the track, traffic slowed and for the first time I had time to admire the beautifully stitched leather interior and controls layout, all of which are definitely all ergonomically correct. The cockpit display takes its cues from the driving mode selected using the Driving Dynamics Control switch, the graphics and colors of the displays indicating clearly which of the COMFORT, ECO PRO and SPORT settings has been engaged. Very cool. And it’s loaded with every safety warning system you can think of: lane departure, pedestrian and collision warning. A mad cyclist warning system capable of evasive action would be a worthy addition for 2017. Write to keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Safety Tip: With summer plans often including more time on the road, make sure you assess your tires before a road trip. Check them regularly for air pressure and tread depth and always replace tires with bulges, cuts, or cracks.

April 10, 1954 - August 22, 2015

OBITUARIES

At one point, she was the only medical professional residing in a colony established for people with leprosy. She was ordained as a Nazarene minister during her service in Swaziland, in 1967.

George It is with sadness that we announce George passed away on August 19, 2015 at the age of 90. He is predeceased by his wife Dorothy, sister Lily and survived by his sister Violet. He is sadly missed by his two sons Phil (Laurianne) and Scott (Lisa), his five grandchildren, as well as five great-grandchildren. George was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and moved with his wife in 1956 to Mission. George and Dorothy owned and operated a jewellery store in downtown Mission until their retirement. George will be remembered for his love of golf, gardening and his perfectly manicured lawn. The family is most grateful to the staff of the Deroche Neighborhood at The Residence in Mission for the wonderful care of George and the kindness shown to his family at this difficult time.

MANKY Leon Dec. 17, 1923 ~ Aug. 21, 2015

Being a carpenter who loved to work outside, he packed up the family and moved to Abbotsford in 1966, where he remained for the rest of his life. Leon was a generous man who never said no to someone in genuine need. His integrity and dependability were evident to all who knew him.

RETZLAFF Wendy Delrene Mission, BC Wendy would like to let you know that her work here is done. She received a call, a sort of offer that you can’t refuse, for an appointment from which she will not be returning. This assignment comes with a huge sign-on bonus ~ a reunion with family and friends whom she has not seen in a long time. Job security is exactly 110 percent. Her new mission takes her to a wonderful place where she will be socializing, dancing, gardening and sitting on a deck in her favorite chair while enjoying her coffee, to her heart’s content. Music, laughter and love are guaranteed. Food is delicious and no one gains an ounce. She left detailed instructions for her family to celebrate her mission here, which has now been completed. We want to let her know that she did a great job and wish her a safe journey. We will remember her smile, her warmth, her energy, her love for life, family and friends. She worked very hard all of her life, right up until the very end. She made a difference in the lives of so many. She is survived by her husband Pablo Tovar, daughters Billi Dunning, Terri Anne Dunning (Lawrence), Jodi Retzlaff (Wes) grandsons Cody Retzlaff, Josh Retzlaff and Taylon Shone. She is also survived by her brothers Terry Thompson (Deb) and Danny Thompson.

OBITUARIES

Elva Bates Morden

EMBERSON Feb. 11, 1925 ~ Aug. 19, 2015

Dedicated Nazarene medical missionary Elva Bates Morden, RN, died peacefully in her sleep at Bevan Lodge in Abbotsford, B.C., on Aug. 20. Born June 23, 1931 in Prince Albert, Sask., to Alymer and Pearl Bates, Elva demonstrated her resourceful and independent spirit early, remembered by her brother as a girl who fixed her own bicycle flats, pumped gas, and played street hockey with the boys! As a teenager, she joined the Church of the Nazarene with the full support of her Presbyterian family. Following graduation from Prince Albert Collegiate Institute (High School) in 1950, Elva attended nursing school at Holy Family Hospital in Prince Albert, proudly receiving her cap and RN degree in 1953. She was admitted to Canadian Nazarene College in Red Deer, Alberta, where she was granted tuition in exchange for serving as the resident campus nurse. Here, she established friendships that lasted throughout her life and deepened her faith as she earned a degree in theology, graduating in 1958. Beginning in 1961, she embarked on the adventure of a lifetime when she was accepted into the church’s foreign service effort and reported as a medical missionary to the Kingdom of Swaziland in southeast Africa. Here, over the next 23 years she learned to speak Swahili and established rural medical clinics, delivered babies, mended wounds and broken bones, and trained local residents in public health.

Upon her return to Canada in the mid-1980s, Elva married longtime friend and pen pal, Clarence Morden, in a beautiful ceremony in Lacombe, Alberta, on Jan. 26, 1985, settling with him in a scenic home on the rocky shores of Lantzville, Vancouver Island, B.C. After Clarence’s death, Elva joined friends in Abbotsford and eventually moved to a cozy room at Bevan Lodge. There, she was lovingly cared for by the nurses and other staff, caregiver Barbara Hicks, and many beloved friends. She will be dearly remembered for her sweet and wry sense of humour; her love of music, painting, ice cream, and jigsaw puzzles; and most of all for her abiding faith and service to others. Elva is survived by her brother, Donald Bates of Colorado Springs; sisters-in-law Kathy Bates of Goodyear, AZ, and Rosaline Hupfer of Edmonton, Alberta; nephew David Bates (Kathy) of Houston, Texas; nieces Barbara Bates of Colorado Springs, CO and Betsy Bates Freed (David) of Santa Barbara, CA; and nephew Brian Bates of Calgary, Alberta. In addition, she leaves several grand nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Clarence Morden, parents Alymer and Pearl Bates, and brother Douglas Bates. Services will be held at 2 pm on Tuesday, Sept. 1 at the Abbotsford Church of the Nazarene, 2390 McMillan Road, Abbotsford, followed by internment of her ashes on Sept. 3 at the family’s gravesite near where Elva’s grandparents homesteaded in 1888 in the Carman, Manitoba, district.
