Honey theft leaves sour taste for owner

Adrian MACNAIR

Abbotsford News

Thieves have quietly buzzed off with $100,000 worth of bees and honey from an Abbotsford beekeeping operation at Ross Road and Zero Avenue.

Nearly 100 hive frames have been removed along with an estimated 8,000 pounds of commercial honey and approximately 500,000 bees.

“Somebody went in there with the intention of not just stealing the bees and the hives, but also stealing them in such a way they could be integrated into an ongoing or existing operation,” said Abbotsford police Const. Ian MacDonald, adding the careful and meticulous work was the first clue it wasn’t simply a case of vandalism.

“We’re at a point in the calendar cycle

Abbotsford News

The bees and honey were likely stolen from someone with a working knowledge of beekeeping, police speculate. where we’re in a high yield for honey, so a novice wouldn’t know this would be the best time to make such a theft,” he said.

The heist would have required significant equipment and expertise as dealing with half a million bees can be dangerous.

The theft was discovered on July 26, but the timing of the

incident is difficult to pin down since the beekeeper hadn’t visited the site since early July.

The location was just one of several properties the beekeeper rents, which MacDonald said is fairly typical for beekeepers in Abbotsford.

MacDonald said he spoke to an apiarist

on Monday, who told him that it had to be a beekeeping professional to have made off without causing destruction or disruption to the operation.

Since the insects can’t be tagged like livestock, the best chance for identification will be the hive frames. Another clue might be that somebody will note that

a person who had a relatively small beekeeping operation a week ago now has a pretty sizeable one, said MacDonald.

The hives were located away from the roadway and would not be easily observed by passersby, but police are looking for anybody who may have witnessed some aspect of the incident between July 7 and 26.

MacDonald acknowledged the incident is a rare one, but noted that a couple of years ago there were a series of similarly puzzling large-scale thefts of pigeons.

The Abbotsford Police Department is requesting the public’s assistance with this investigation.

Anyone with information about the theft is asked to contact the APD at 604-859-5225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Jamie Bacon loses appeal Jamie Bacon of Abbotsford has lost his appeal over his 2010 conviction on 10 weapons charges.

Bacon, 26, is currently serving seven years in prison for those offences, and is awaiting trial on a first-degree murder charge and conspiracy to commit murder in relation to the Surrey Six slayings from 2007.

Bacon’s brother, Jarrod, 28, was acquitted in the weapons trial, but was handed a 12-year sentence for drug conspiracy earlier this year in relation to a separate case.

The two brothers, who grew up in Abbotsford, were arrested in April 2007

outside their family home – then in Surrey – after rivals shot up their house and cars. Jamie, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, was struck once in the back.

Jamie retur ned fire with a Glock handgun.

Police later found a Glock, three other loaded handguns and nine magazines in a secret compartment of an SUV parked in the Bacons’ driveway.

Bacon’s lawyer argued that this evidence was wrongly admitted during the trial and violated his client’s charter rights.

The B.C. Court of Appeal panel did not agree last Friday.

Two injured in bike crash A 63-year-old motorcyclist and his 62-yearold passenger from Chilliwack were taken to hospital with what were believed to be serious injuries after a collision with a car Thursday morning in Abbotsford.

The crash occurred just before 8 a.m. in the area of Whatcom and South Parallel roads.

Const. Ian MacDonald said a 65-year-old Abbotsford man driving a 1995 Ford Taurus failed to yield to a 2008 Harley Davidson, resulting in a “low-speed impact.”

The driver of the Taurus was issued a ticket for failing to yield to traffic.

An Abbotsford truck driver was involved in a collision that left a Chilliwack woman in critical condition last Tuesday afternoon near Agassiz.

At 1:20 p.m. that day, Fraser Valley Traffic Services and Agassiz RCMP officers responded to the report of a vehicle collision on Highway 7, approximately five kilometres east of Agassiz.

A 2010 Hyundai Sonata had been travelling west when it crossed the centre line into the oncoming eastbound lane. A 2008 Peterbilt semi trailer was travelling east, and the 66-year-old driver saw the Hyundai move into his lane.

He attempted to avoid a collision by steering his vehicle onto the south shoulder of the road.

The car clipped the driver’s side of the semi and came to a stop in the north ditch.

The 60-year-old driver of the Hyundai was extracted from her vehicle by the Agassiz and Seabird Island Fire Rescue Departments. She was then transported to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster by air ambulance.

Witnesses to the collision who have not spoken to the police are asked to contact lead investigator Const. Troy Collins of the Fraser Valley Traffic Services at 604-702-4039.

Sex assault ‘victim’ lied

Vikki HOPES

Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford woman reported in February that she had been brutally sexually assaulted by two IndoCanadian men, resulting in Abbotsford Police launching a major investigation to track them down.

The 19-year-old has now admitted she made it all up.

Const. Ian MacDonald said police first became suspicious about two weeks ago, when portions of the teen’s story began changing.

Up until then, she had been a credible witness who appeared traumatized and offered specific details about the crime.

“There was no reason for us to doubt the victim,” MacDonald said.

The woman told investigators that she had been walking in the area of Pauline and Homeview streets on the evening of Feb. 2, when two South Asian men in a white pickup truck pulled up beside her.

She said the passenger grabbed her and pushed her into the back seat. The driver

These police sketches of the so-called victim’s assailants were done as part of the major investigation. then parked the vehicle a short distance away, and both men sexually assaulted her before pushing her out of the truck in a parking lot in the 34000 block of Gladys Avenue, the woman said.

She went to Abbotsford Police with her story the following day. Police quickly released information about the attack, including detailed descriptions of the supposed assailants. Composite sketches of the attackers followed a few days later.

MacDonald said numerous police resources were dedicated to finding the culprits.

Officers went door-to-

door for information, extra patrols were added in the downtown core, and investigators combed police records searching for potential links to similar incidents in other communities.

MacDonald said tips from the public came in “by the bucketload,” including one that a South Asian man wearing a military-style dog tag had been seen frequenting the area of the assault.

Several “people of interest” were interviewed as the potential perpetrators.

“This was a major, major investigation,” he said, adding that the report on the

incident grew to 600 pages in the five months since the woman first came to police.

MacDonald said when police began questioning the woman’s story in the last two weeks, she admitted she had fabricated it. He said charges were considered, but Crown counsel has determined that it will be difficult to prove in court the woman’s intent.

“I can’t go into a lot of detail but there is some suggestion that there could be factors about the individual that would make proving the intent component difficult,” MacDonald said.

He said there is an “element of attention-seeking” to the incident, and an explanation from the teen that once she told the story, it got out of control and she didn’t know how to reverse it.

MacDonald said he hopes this incident does not have an impact on future cases.

“The Abbotsford Police Department continues to encourage people to call their police department, and we commend the courage it takes for legitimate victims to come forward.”

Two fires in one day

NewsBytes SIX-HOUR STANDOFF Abbotsford police ended a sixhour standoff with a resident in the 33700-block of McDougall Avenue Monday morning after he had barricaded himself in his home. A neighbour called police to report the man throwing items out the windows of his home. The man refused to speak to officers when they arrived, said Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald.

“He wouldn’t respond to our attempts to contact,” he said and police didn’t know what he had in the house with him. He appeared to be both belliugerent and barricaded, he said. The Municipal Integrated Emergency Response Team was called in and the man surrendered after six hours of negotiations. He was taken for medical assessment. Although MacDonald would not identify the man, he said he’s been known to police for a history of medical calls due to mental illness.

Home and garage damaged in separate incidents Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) crews were busy with two structure fires in the city on Thursday.

The first took place in the morning at a home at 5564 Interprovincial Highway.

Four teenage boys who were home alone after their mom went to work got out of the residence safely after smelling smoke and hearing the smoke alarms.

Fire crews arrived to see heavy smoke

coming from the rear of the home. They discovered that the fire had started in the basement and had spread to the main floor.

They quickly brought the blaze under control, but the home suffered extensive damage, estimated at $150,000.

Three fire engines and 14 firefighters were on scene. The cause is still under investigation, but is not suspicious in nature At about 2 p.m. that day, fire destroyed a three-car garage that was housing a

Porsche and wood-working tools, among other items.

AFRS was called to the scene at 1467 Columbia St. following reports of smoke in the area.

When crews arrived, they found the garage fully engulfed in flames. Large trees around the structure were starting to catch fire.

Firefighters were able to quickly knock down the flames and keep the blaze from spreading to the home.

The cause is still under investigation.

FOR THE RECORD

RV fire wrecks couple’s holiday

An error was made in the Thursday, July 26 edition of The News in a story about a man sentenced for child pornography offences. The article stated that Martin Gregory Smith received a one-year jail term for three charges – possessing, accessing and sharing child porn.

In fact, Smith’s sentence was 20 months – 12 months on the sharing charge and four months each on the other two counts.

En route to two-week camping vacation A Surrey couple had their vacation ruined Wednesday morning when their trailer caught fire along Highway 1 in Abbotsford.

Another motorist, who had a fire extinguisher in his vehicle, helped put out the flames coming from the interior of the RV. When fire crews arrived on scene, heavy smoke was coming from the trailer.

Time for our Olympians to shine More than two years have passed since Canadians donned red mittens and cheered on home-grown athletes in the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

Has our spirit lagged or are we prepared to wave the flag once more, even though the Summer Olympics is so far away from home?

Abbotsford residents certainly have something to cheer about.

Among more than 10,000 competitors in London for the Games are six local people who number among the finest athletes in the world.

Abbotsford’s own Sophie Schmidt is a midfielder with the Canadian women’s soccer team, and a key player who will figure prominently in any success the team has.

Valley Royals track and field

star Mike Mason will need to set a personal best if he is to medal in the high jump, but he has been getting close to those lofty heights.

His Royals teammate Jessica Smith competes in the 800-metre run.

World champion swimmer Brent Hayden, a proud Mission Marlin, is a medal hopeful in the pool.

Fellow Mission natives Kim Smith and Teresa Gabriele are starters on the Canadian women’s basketball team.

London may be a long way away, and most of us will have to cheer from a distance, unlike 2010 when we could toast our athletes from the stands.

But with all the other mayhem going on in the world, supporting our local Olympians will be a welcome relief.

Assault continues on private ownership Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand Why is it that taxpayers must always be on guard against those we elect to represent us, yet are supposedly in that position to protect and serve our best interests.

A year or so ago I appeared before council to protest a subdivision creating some 70 lots. Not that I was against the project per se, but the methods by which the city would allow it to proceed.

The city told the developer there was no city water available from the nearby main since it did not “own” the line or the water.

To create the subdivision the city required the developer to dig wells.

Those wells would have drained the aquifer that supplied water to my property and those of my neighbours. I objected, and a few weeks later the city “discovered” it actually did own its water main, and the water within it. There was sufficient volume to accommodate a thousand more homes.

The developer got the nod to hook up to city water and our aquifer was protected.

We had to fight for that, and the developer had to eat some $300,000 wasted on unnecessary wells.

Then there is the tree protection bylaw, followed by the demand that rural property owners pay to clean the city’s ditches.

The tree bylaw is now being heavily modified, but is still not needed since tree protection is already available through subdivision bylaws and development permits.

For the moment, ditch cleaning is in abeyance.

Yet the city continues its assault on ownership. Tonight, July 31, Sumas Mountain residents will face a plan to convert much/ most of the private land on the mountain into wildlife preserves, public recreation areas and “sensitive” habitat.

Though the city claims “all existing land uses will be allowed to continue” try building on your own property a house within, or a fence across, a wildlife corridor. Sorry, not allowed!

What the advocates of a green agenda at city hall do not appear to understand is that adjacent to the private lands on Sumas Mountain is 10,000 acres of public land – Crown land. The city already owns an additional 400 or more acres of park land on the mountain, and Metro Vancouver parks owns another 160 acres.

You would think that much land, more than 100 Stanley Parks, would be sufficient to create public recreation land, protect wildlife and preserve sensitive habitat.

But no, they want all the private land too.

Perhaps, looking eastward from the fifth floor of city hall, councillors see this green hump on the horizon and think it all theirs. Sorry folks, but some of what you

You would think that much land, more than 100 Stanley Parks, would be sufficient... see belongs to others, and we will fight you tooth and nail to keep it.

If you want to “save” it, then come buy it (oh, right you don’t have enough money to clean our ditches, let alone buy our land).

Otherwise, adopting the plan being presented tonight is nothing less than confiscation without compensation.

Council, and staff, also seems not to understand the fact that within 20 years or so, a lot of the land on Sumas Mountain

will be needed for housing.

Now won’t that be confusing for the bears who thought they had their own “corridor,” probably complete with signs informing them of such, to get from the vast chunk of Crown land area to residential areas where they will likely be, as just happened in Sandy Hill, shot.

Sensitive areas and wildlife protection can be accomplished when it is needed, or threatened, by controlling future development. The city already has a handle on that with existing powers to determine when and where such necessary items for development as water mains, sewer trunks, roads and streets are to occur.

Properties are already protected by curbs on subdivision, and by federal and provincial habitat protection laws.

Shouldn’t council, with clear direction to staff, contentrate its efforts on looking after cost controls, finding the funds to maintain current infrastructure, and ensuring our city develops properly, instead of trying to be popular by emulating the environmental bent of Vancouver?

And please, quit wasting tax money on studies that won’t fly, particularly when the area you want to “green” is immediately adjacent to 10,000 acres of governmentowned wilderness. markrushton@abbynews.com

Somehow, I cannot help but wonder if Neville’s opinion is not narrow minded?

Why would anyone wish to continue feeding the addicts harmful drug habits that encourage them to remain trapped in the clutches of despair and destruction?

One only needs to check out the Vancouver East Side drug abuse scenery to have your stomach turn as you watch the pure hell on earth these people have created for themselves.

Yes, Neville, I commend Mayor Banman and Abbotsford Council for taking a stand that a detox program must be included in any type of treatment ideas.

Handing any person the tools to sink down even further is not treatment at all.

The harsh fact remains that the choice to leave drug and alcohol addiction is up to the individual to make. In the City of Abbotsford, the road to recovery does not have to be walked alone.

There is plenty of help everywhere you look.

I think of the now 25-yearold Peardonville House and the successful LIFE Recovery treatment and rehabilitation homes. Wonderful places that offer healing, shelter and

renewed hope for the future to countless struggling souls. It is here where woman in deep despair receive renewed hope, understanding, support and loving care and gives them the life skills to go out and build their own happy homes.

Oh, let’s not forget what the Salvation Army does on a daily basis for the needy. The MCC programs are more shining examples, and that’s just the beginning. Neville, have you any idea how many volunteer hours that go into helping the needy amongst us?

However, not everyone has the same outlook on how to best help the needy. But that does not mean that your or my views are the best there is to offer, does it?

continue to support the provincial Liberals.

In the past I have taken my concerns to local MLAs, as well as directly to Gordon Campbell.

I pointed out the contradiction of lowering taxes while raising the debt-load for future generations. Since I am a supporter of the Greens, I can be easily dismissed.

Why have Liberal supporters not asked for accountability from their representatives?

I would not wish the mess of our provincial books on anyone.

At the same time, I hope those still in the Liberal camp do not stretch credulity by suggesting anyone could do a worse job than the present crew.

According to the auditor general, the Liberal’s figures for the most recent deficit are out by about half a billion dollars. It’s easy to guess the direction of the difference.

Apparently the auditor general has been trying for years to effect change, and says “not enough progress has been made.”

Why would this be? Do we not hear that the best people cost money? Yet Victoria’s highly paid bureaucrats apparently aren’t very good at math.

$14,000 for Pines Bible Camp fundraiser

FACEBOOK PHOTO

A windstorm devastated the Pines Bible Camp and Retreat, and led to the death of a young boy when a tree fell on the cabin he was in.

An Abbotsford event in support of rebuilding efforts at Pines Bible Camp and Retreat Centre near Grand Forks raised $14,000 last Tuesday.

Blake and Raelene Chursinoff organized a hot dog barbecue at Mountain Park Community Church after many of the camp’s buildings were destroyed by a freak windstorm on July 20.

The site also experienced a tragedy with the death of a young boy who was injured after a tree fell on the cabin he was in.

The Chursinoffs felt compelled to help because both had attended Pines Bible Camp as kids and later worked there, including a three-year stay when Blake served as program director until February 2011.

The couple plan to hold other fundraisers, with a goal of collecting $100,000 for the cause.

Newest fire hall opens Neighbours invited to barbecue

JOHN MORROW

Abbotsford News

Firefighter Jordan Brown shows five-year-old Lucas Gafka the inside of Engine 8 at Abbotsford’s new fire hall.

Abbotsford

Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) hosted a neighbourhood barbecue last Thursday for residents in the vicinity of the newly constructed Fire Hall 8 located at 30811 Blueridge Drive.

The barbecue was a promise made by Fire Chief Don Beer to demonstrate to the residents that the AFRS would be a great addition to the neighbourhood.

Approximately 120 residents and their children attended the event, toured the fire hall and enjoyed the fellowship of their new firefighting neighbours.

Beer said the construction of the new hall was a result of Abbotsford city council’s support for the Fire Rescue Service Master Plan’s vision of improving emergency response times for urban and rural neighbourhoods.

The fire hall was designed by Chernoff Thompson Architects, and the project was managed by MHPM. It was constructed by Pax Construction at a cost of $ 3.3 million using

a combination of traditional red brick and corrugated metal siding.

The public artwork on the front windows of the fire hall was commissioned by Kilvert & Kilvert using two integrated and complementary conceptual components.

The enduring “Tree of Life� was selected as a visual metaphor underscoring the stature and significance of the fire hall within the community and the “Phoenix Rising� was selected for the spirit of the firefighter and those who have survived the impact of fire on their lives.

The application of traditional East Indian paisley stencil design onto the tree trunk emphasized the integration and vitality of the Indo-Canadian Community within the City of Abbotsford and the immediate area served by the fire hall.

An official opening and dedication of Fire Hall 8 was held yesterday afternoon.

Pay reform excludes TransLink, Ferries officials Jeff NAGEL Black Press

A provincial refor m limiting bonus payments for Crown corporation executives won’t

apply at TransLink or BC Ferries.

The move replaces the current bonus systems at Crown agencies with a hold back of up to 20 per

cent of executives’ pay, which is released if targets are met.

The province also announced a pay freeze for current Crown executives

and said new senior executives will be hired at salaries 10 per cent lower than their predecessors.

Incentive pay – publicly unpopular but considered an effective tool in encouraging performance – became a flashpoint in 2009 when it was revealed former Ferries CEO David Hahn’s bonuses and benefits doubled his pay to more than $1 million.

Bonuses to TransLink executives were paid out earlier this year but are under a boardordered review for future years and are also being examined as part of a provincial audit of the transpor-

tation authority.

Neither agencies are technically Crown corporations so are exempt from the rules.

C a n a d i a n Taxpayers Federation spokesman Jordan Bateman called it a “poke in the eye” for taxpayers that TransLink and BC Ferries are untouched.

“Those are the organizations most of us are most concer ned with,” he said. “You think of David Hahn – the million-dollar man. You think of TransLink giving themselves bonuses the same week they’re raising gas taxes.”

Bateman said the

two bodies should have a “moral obligation” to voluntarily mirror the new rules.

As for other Crowns cor porations, Bateman said much depends on whether the actual criteria set for holdback bonuses are easy or difficult to meet.

“It’s a positive step forward, but maybe a half step,” he said, noting 99 per cent of BC Hydro employees were able to meet their past targets for incentive pay.

“The idea that every person in the public service should always get a bonus for hitting targets was ridicu-

lous.”

The new policy also says executives should earn no more than 85 per cent of the CEO’s salary.

The province also intends to phase out incentive pay for other non-executive staff, although it admits it can’t do so in cases where such payments have been negotiated into union contracts, as is the case at ICBC. Travel will be reimbursed using the same policy as g ove r n m e n t e xe c u t ive s and vehicle allowances where required for business will be the only perk allowed, with any others being phased out.

The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) has released its fifth video in the Operation Veritas series.

The latest production, called Gated Community, continues the APD’s messaging about the negative impacts of gang involvement and the importance of making positive choices.

The Operation Veritas initiative began in the spring of 2010 as a means of combatting the myths of the supposed glamorous gangster/ criminal lifestyle, said Const.

Ian MacDonald.

“Choices have consequences but it is never too late to make a good one,” he said.

“The APD believes that these initiatives and community efforts have to be concerted and long-term to be effective.”

The video can be viewed by searching “Operation Veritas – Gated Community” on YouTube.

NEXUS lane into Canada now open

Travellers heading into Canada at the Abbotsford-Huntingdon border crossing can now take advantage of a NEXUS-only lane.

The lane opened last Wednesday (July 25), complementing the southboundcrossing NEXUS lane into Sumas, Wash. that opened in May. The lane into Canada is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day. The lane into the U.S. is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day.

NEXUS members must show their membership cards upon arrival at the

border until electronic card readers are installed later in the year.

Canada Border Services Agency said it decided to open the lane before it is fully functional given the popularity of the NEXUS program, particularly in B.C. “This new NEXUS lane means a smoother crossing for pre-approved, low-risk travellers in British Columbia just in time for the long weekend in August,” said the Abbotsford MP Ed Fast. “It’s another example of how Canada is working to improve the flow

of legitimate travel and trade across our shared border.”

The NEXUS program allows pre-screened, low-risk travellers expedited processing by U.S. and Canadian officials across the U.S.-Canada border at designated air, land, and marine locations.

Approved applicants are issued a Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, Radio Frequency Identification technology-enabled membership card.

Report flags many oil spill response gaps Jeff NAGEL Black Press

The province’s own assessment that B.C. is under-prepared to prevent and clean up oil spills has handed fresh ammunition

to opponents of new pipelines and the tankers now moving through Burrard Inlet.

The 52-page technical report, released Monday (July 23) as

the government laid out its demands for improved safety and a bigger share of benefits, raises multiple concerns about the risks and procedures already

used to export Alberta oil via Kinder Morgan’s existing Trans Mountain Pipeline through the Lower Mainland, including Abbotsford.

Among the findings: Q U.S. authorities require oil-laden tankers sailing east of Port Angeles to have escort tugs with them, while that’s voluntary for tankers in much of B.C. waters outside Vancouver harbour.

Q B.C. fails to match requirements by Washington State requiring an emergency tug be on standby on the sea route.

Q Washington bans Suezmax tankers, which carry 800,000 to one million

barrels, from its inner waters but Port Metro Vancouver has said that tanker size could be allowed in Vancouver harbour if the Second Narrows is dredged.

Q Alaska has far tougher spill response rules, requiring industry-funded emergency responders be able to handle a 300,000 barrel spill, compared to just 70,000 barrels in B.C., before international aid is invoked. B.C. crews would be “completely overwhelmed” by a 260,000-barrel Exxon Valdez-sized spill.

The report warns the current spill response capacity “appears to be insufficient” to handle the

existing tanker shipments of oil from the Trans Mountain Pipeline even if neither its expansion nor the new Enbridge pipeline proceed.

“Increasing this threshold is critical,” the report said of the 70,000-barrel response capability.

It also noted cleanup costs exceeding $1.3 billion may not be covered by insurance or industry funds and fall on taxpayers and others.

“Canada has no plan in place to cover the excess costs of a major spill,” it says.

No provision is made to deal with oiled wildlife, it says, and there’s no mechanism to make

It also says the capacity to clean oiled shoreline should be boosted from the current 500 metres of shore per day.

“Exxon Valdez impacted 2,000 kilometres of shoreline. At 500 metres per day, a similar spill occurring in B.C. would require a 10-year cleanup.”

Karen Wristen, executive director of the Living Oceans Society, said the improvements flagged in the report must be made regardless of whether new pipelines are approved.

She noted some tankers leaving Kinder Morgan’s Burnaby terminal are laden with conventional oil but others increasingly carry heavy oil sands bitumen, which she said increases the risk of a pipeline rupture on land and vastly increases the damage if a tanker spills at sea.

“We don’t know from tanker to tanker going through a heavily populated area what the risk is,” Wristen said. “There is no spill response for a bitumen spill. It’s going to the bottom.”

The provincial report also raises bitumen as an issue, noting it is more likely to sink and presents higher environmental risks and a more difficult cleanup if spilled.

“It is possible that the capacity that exists for crude oil spills – from training to equipment – may not be appropriate for bitumen,” the report said. “Thus, a major gap may likely exist for all current and future bitumen shipments taking place on Canada’s west coast.”

The provincial report notes oil shipping safety has improved and spills have become rarer worldwide.

B.C. eyes surcharge on flow of Kinder Morgan oil Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Environment Minister Terry Lake says B.C. may pursue the idea of a per barrel levy on oil that would flow through a twinned Kinder Morgan pipeline at upcoming regulatory hearings into the project’s business terms.

He said money raised from a levy on the oil could fund a much-enhanced oil spill prevention and response system.

“I’ve asked staff in our ministry and in energy to take a look at this,” Lake said in an interview. “We want to make sure if there’s a role for us, we look at that. We haven’t landed on that decision yet.”

Those National Energ y Board hearings into Kinder Morgan’s proposed rate structure with its customers would happen relatively soon – perhaps starting early next year – and are different from separate hearings on the actual pipeline twinning project, which are at least two years away following a formal application.

Federal NDP MPs last month said they will intervene in the upcoming hearings and raised the idea of asking the NEB to add a surcharge to the rates oil shippers pay Kinder Morgan to generate emergency response funds or perhaps to raise money to benefit First Nations.

Lake noted Washington State already has a levy for emergency response, collected on each barrel Kinder Morgan ships through a spur pipeline from Abbotsford to U.S. refineries.

He stressed the concept of a safety fund is separate from the idea of a legacy fund that brings B.C. more of the benefits that accrue from allowing the export of heavy oil through the province.

Premier Christy Clark has said benefits sharing with B.C. is one of five preconditions for the province to consider any new heavy oil pipeline – either Enbridge’s Northern Gateway line or Kinder Morgan’s twinning.

Alberta premier Alison Redford said

Province may participate in early hearings on rates her province won’t share oil royalties with B.C. But Alberta’s Opposition leader suggested B.C. be

compensated through a different mechanism, such as a $5 toll on each barrel of oil that moves through the pipeline.

A $5 toll on the 525,000 barrels that would flow daily through Enbridge’s pipeline would generate close to $1 billion a year.

The same rate charged on Kinder Morgan’s post-expansion Trans Mountain pipeline, which would move 750,000 barrels

daily, would raise close to $1.4 billion annually.

Currently, Trans Mountain moves 300,000 barrels a day.

Lake said it’s not yet

DAY AUGUST 6

Every first Monday of August is known as British Columbia Day, in the province of British Columbia. It is a statutory holiday and gives Canadians in the province of BC the chance to celebrate their beautiful province, their achievements or to relax with friends and family members.

How will you spend your BC Day? When you are not busy attending the 102nd Agrifair, the following are excellent suggestions of how to spend your BC Day long weekend!

In British Columbia many people use the long weekend

to make short trips out of town and into one of the areas of beautiful scenery in this province. Some go camping, while others take scenic walks and hikes. Many people incorporate BC Day into their summer vacation or a plan it as part of a longer trip.

Staying Road Safe this long weekend: Alcohol, speed and driver distraction are the top three contributing factors in motor vehicle deaths.

Here are some safety tips to help drivers arrive at their destination safely: • Plan a safe way

home, such as a designated driver or taxi, if your weekend activities will involve alcohol.

Remember that impairment begins with the first drink, and that drugs - including prescription drugs - can affect your ability to drive safely.

• Buckle up. Seatbelt use is the single, most-effective step you can take to protect yourself from death or serious injury in a collision.

• Slow down and stay calm.

• Plan ahead, keeping in mind that congestion, construction and road conditions

proud to be a part of Abbotsford

may add to your travel time.

• Eliminate distractions Place calls tions. before you leave and

pull over to check maps.

• Leave plenty of space between your vehicle and the one

ahead of you - at least three seconds on high-speed roads or if you’re behind a motorcycle.

• Watch for motorcycles. Drivers need to recognize there are BC more riders on B.C. roads every year.

Tailgate toured western Canada, and when the band split, Tyler went solo.

He connected with Johnny Gasparic of The Poverty Plainsman, an audio engineer, for his first solo album.

With the help of Don Jorgensen, Brian Kelly, and Brad Johnson, the album Oldschool came to life.

Shortly after the CD release, Tyler was introduced to fellow country musician Kenny Hess, who would ultimately become a friend and mentor. He has since

shared the stage with Hess, Charlie Major, Dwight Yokum, Trooper, and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band to name a few.

“I am thankful for my life and the fact that I get to share my music with people,” he said.

In September, 220 adventurers took on the 2011 Innovative Fitness Canuck Place Adventure Challenge. Racers kayaked the calm waters of Deep Cove and Cultus Lake then set off on mountain or road bikes, before returning to tackle the trails on foot and racing back to finish to the cheers of onlookers.

While challenging themselves, each of the participants was reminded of the daily challenges of Canuck Place children. All of the racers raised the minimum of $1000 for Canuck Place—and many exceeded it—raising a record $285,000!

An event such as this is the sum of many parts and we look forward to our 2012 event, aiming to incorporate what we have learned into an even better experience. We particularly want to thank our most generous and committed sponsors, for embracing our mission and helping to surpass our expectations. You help us to “embrace life”.

We sincerely thank all the participants, donors, sponsors and volunteers for supporting Canuck Place with such immense spirit and enthusiasm!

A’s offence sinks Cards

Abbotsford squad knocked out in first round of playoffs Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Cardinals met a bitter demise at the hands of their rivals, the Okanagan Athletics.

The fifth-place Cards had high hopes heading into a best-of-three B.C. Premier Baseball League playoff series on the weekend, but the fourth-place A’s swept them in two straight games on Saturday, 8-7 and 11-0.

The defeat was difficult to digest for Cardinals head coach Corey Eckstein, in part because his club doesn’t have a lot of love for the A’s. The two teams engaged in a heated regular-season series two weeks ago that featured four benchclearing incidents.

“It’s tough to swallow,” Eckstein said. “It’s tough losing to a team that you just can’t respect, and it was tough to see our senior guys walk away in tears after the game.

“But you tip your caps to them – they swung the bats better than we did.”

In the opener, the Athletics built a 7-2 lead through five innings, but the Cards battled back to tie.

DOUG FARROW

Black Press

Abbotsford Cardinals shortstop Luke Cooke applied the tag to Brandon Sonnenberg of the Okanagan Athletics, but the A’s runner was safe.

Tyler Krahn’s two-run single capped a fourrun outburst in the sixth inning, and after loading the bases in the seventh, Zach Cardoso was hit by a pitch to push Adam Revel across and knot the score 7-7.

But in the bottom of the inning, the A’s loaded the bases themselves, and James Ward smacked a walkoff single to give the Okanagan squad a 1-0 lead in the series.

Game 2 was all A’s, and ended after just five innings via the mercy rule. The

BCPBL’s second-most prolific offence rocked Abbotsford pitching to the tune of 16 hits, highlighted by a grand slam by Nathan Ackerman in the top of the fifth. The Cards mustered just four hits against A’s starter Dillon Kakoshke – three of them by Cardoso.

“I’ve been working with these players since they were nine years old, and I really wanted to see them walk away on top,” Eckstein said. “I’ve got to give them credit – they battled back in the first game when they

were down, showed a lot of heart and pride.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work out the way we had hoped.”

Q The Junior Cardinals’ season is still ongoing, and they split a doubleheader on the road against the Whalley Junior Chiefs on Sunday.

The Chiefs won an extra-innings thriller in the opener. Abby’s Josh Harder drove in Joel VanEe for a 5-4 lead in the top of the ninth, but Whalley tallied twice in the bottom of the inning to steal a 6-5 victory.

The Junior Cards bounced back with a 13-0 mercy-rule win.

Leadoff man VanEe went 4-for-4 at the plate with four runs scored to ignite the offence, and Liam Kano-McGregor hit a bases-loaded triple.

Pitcher Emilio Foden struck out six over five shutout innings.

The Junior Cards (25-17, third in the BCJPBL) wrap up the regular season this week – Wednesday against the White Rock Junior Tritons, and Thursday against the North Shore Junior Twins. Both games begin at 7 p.m. at DeLair Park.

DO YOU

REMEMBER

THE DAY?

As far as on-ice preparation goes, it’s already been a productive summer for Leland Irving.

The erstwhile Abbotsford Heat goalie is spending the offseason in Vernon, and he’s found a rather impressive practice partner in the B.C. interior.

That would be Flames star Jarome Iginla, he of the 516 career NHL goals and two Olympic gold medals, who also happens to be summering in the area with his family. “We kind of figured we’d skate together, and it’s been great,�

Irving told The News via cellphone. “It’s a lot of fun competing with him, and we test each other on the ice every time we’re out there.�

As far as the off-ice, business-side stuff, that took a little longer than usual to wrap up this summer. The Flames extended a qualifying offer to the restricted free agent in late June, which generally paves the way for an expedient return to the organization.

But a month went by with no deal, leading to speculation that Irving might head over to Europe if he couldn’t get a contract from the Flames that was to his liking. Irving had

Leland Irving, a member of the Heat for three seasons, is focused on winning the Calgary Flames’ backup goalie job this fall. considered Europe last summer, after Calgary signed backup Henrik Karlsson to a two-year, one-way contract, seemingly blocking his path to NHL employment.

But on Friday, Irving put pen to paper on a new one-year, twoway contract which pays him $687,500 in the NHL and $207,500 in the AHL. If he’s back in Abbotsford, he’s in line for a nice raise – last year’s contract paid him $150,000 at the AHL level. But the most important thing to him is, he feels the Flames are going to give him a legit chance to battle Karlsson for the Flames’ backup job in September. “I was always coming back to Calgary,�

he said. “It was just about getting the right deal done. “I’m extremely excited to have another chance to battle for a spot behind Kipper (Flames starter Miikka Kiprusoff).�

CALLAHAN SIGNS WITH HEAT The Heat have signed veteran defenceman Joe Callahan to a oneyear AHL contract.

The 6’3�, 220-pound blueliner spent last season with the Hamilton Bulldogs, posting 20 points (three goals, 17 assists) in 60 games.

The 29-year-old Brockton, Mass. native has played eight full professional seasons, encompassing 510 AHL games and 46 NHL contests with the

DESBIENS REJOINS CANUCKS The Heat waved good-bye to Guillaume Desbiens on Monday, as the brusing winger rejoined the Vancouver Canucks organization as an unrestricted free agent.

Desbiens played three seasons (2008-11) in the Canucks system, predominantly with the Manitoba Moose, the team’s AHL affiliate at the time. He suited up for a total 13 NHL games with the Canucks.

The 6’2�, 205-pound forward signed a twoway contract with the Flames/Heat prior to last season, and served as an assistant captain with the Heat.

His offensive numbers were down (three goals, 11 assists in 59 AHL games), but his physical two-way play earned him a 10-game stint with the Flames (zero points, 25 penalty minutes).

CRAIG LANDS WITH FALCONS Abbotsford native Ryan Craig signed a one-year AHL contract with the Springfield Falcons last week.

The 30-year-old forward spent the past two seasons in the Pittsburgh Penguins organization.

He totaled 30 points (11 goals, 19 assists) in 68 games last year with the AHL’s WilkesBarre/Scranton Penguins.

Craig has suited up for 190 NHL games with the Penguins and Tampa Bay Lightning over his nine-year pro career.

Rebels survive upset bid

Hadwin, Taylor make early exits at Canadian Open After a promising start, Adam Hadwin saw his hopes of another run at the RBC Canadian Open title evaporate during a disastrous second round.

The 24-year-old pro golfer from Abbotsford was on

target during Thursday's opening round at Hamilton Golf and Country Club, firing a solid four-under 66 that included seven birdies. That left him tied for 12th, four back of the lead, and on track to win anoth-

er Rivermead Trophy.

The Rivermead is emblematic of the top Canadian at the national championship, and Hadwin had won it the previous two years, including a memorable fourth-place

finish in 2011.

But on Friday, Hadwin struggled to a four-over 74, making three birdies but also registering three bogeys and two doublebogeys. That left him at even par for the tourna-

ment, and he missed the cut by one stroke.

Fellow Abbotsford native Nick Taylor had a rough go of it at the Canadian Open – he carded rounds of 75 and 74 to miss the cut by 10.

Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

On paper, it looked like a mismatch.

But in practice, the North Shore Indians proved to be a deceptively tough first-round playoff foe for the Valley Rebels.

The lowly Indians had mustered just three victories in 20 games during the West Coast Senior Lacrosse League regular season, while the Rebels (15-5-0) finished just one point out of first place.

Those trends held true in the opener of the best-of-three series last Wednesday, as the Abbotsford club blasted North Shore 18-8 at MSA Arena. But on Friday at North Van Rec Centre, the Indians stunned the Rebels 9-7, overcoming a five-point night (three goals, two assists) from Brian Poole.

The Rebels survived the upset bid, though, crushing the Indians 15-6 on Sunday to move on to the semifinals, where they’ll face the third-place Ladner Pioneers in another best-of-three set.

“We thought we had it in the bag,” Rebels coach Ted Downey said, reflecting on the Game 2 loss. “They came out guns firing, and our pop-guns, some of our guys forgot the cork.

“But our guys really understood what they had to do (in Game 3).

They stayed out of the penalty box and kept to task.”

MSA Arena is no longer available to the Rebels, because ice is being installed in preparation for hockey season.

They’re playing out of Queen’s Park Arena in New Westminster for the balance of the campaign.

Game 1 vs. Ladner goes Tuesday at Queen’s Park, with Game 2 set for Sungod Arena in Delta on Wednesday.

Both games start at 8 p.m.

While some coaches might be less than pleased to be evicted from their home arena, Downey is excited to call Queen’s Park home, albeit temporarily.

“It’s one of the cathedrals of lacrosse in Canada, or anywhere,” he said. “We’re lucky enough to play in it.”

Embraced by a lot of love John peacefully left this earth to enter his final resting place in heaven in the early hours of Friday July 27th at the Menno Home. John was a very loving husband, father and grandfather in a quiet strong way and will be greatly missed by family and friends.

President’s message Welcome to the best little country fair!

On behalf of the board of directors of Abbotsford Agrifair, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to – where pigs fly!

With our theme this year, we are recognizing SILVERI Abbotsford International Airshow’s 50th anniversary.

Agrifair is a long-standing community tradition and we continue to be part of Abbotsford’s family summer activities. Thank you to the City of Abbotsford, BC Gaming, our sponsors and volunteers who help create this five-day event that bridges the gap between “urbanites” and “ruralites.” Agrifair’s board of directors’ goal remains the same: to produce an event that surpasses the expectations and satisfies the diverse interests of the public with affordable fun for the whole family!

I extend a warm welcome to all exhibitors from around the province and country. It will be a great time had by all!

A special thank you to 4-H, without which Agrifair would not be able to diversely present the importance of agriculture to our community, neighbours and visitors. Your participation with displays and competitions are not only educational but are thoroughly enjoyable to watch!

Don’t forget to put your creative cowboy hat on and decorate your stalls to promote our theme!

What fun you will have. Thank you for being part of Abbotsford Agrifair 2012.

The Mighty Fraser Pro Rodeo returns to Abbotsford as part of the 102nd Agrifair celebration taking place August 2-6.

Your guide to Agrifair Once again, the Abbotsford News is proud to present the official guide to Abbotsford Agrifair, 20 pages of information, photos, and schedules to help make your visit to the “best little country fair” even more enjoyable.

This year, Agrifair is celebrating 102 years of providing country-style family fun. In partnership with the 50th anniversary of the Abbotsford Airshow, the slogan for this year’s fair is “where pigs fly!”

This year’s event features a full lineup of great local entertainment, a trade show, plenty of 4-H events, lots of kids’ activities, midway rides and games, stunt bikes and so much more.

The Mighty Fraser Pro Rodeo, always a huge crowd pleaser, returns with some of North America’s best cowboys and cowgirls vying for top prize money. From bareback riding to bulls, there’s always plenty to cheer about.

The Lord Strathcona Mounted Troop will be back to perform and organizers of the annual Abbyfest celebration are plan-

ning a major event to bring a multicultural flavor to the fair.

“The Abbotsford News is proud to be the official media partner with Agrifair once again,” said publisher Andrew Franklin.

“This is a great event for the community which both celebrates our agricultural roots and provides an opportunity for families to enjoy an old-fashioned country fair. Agrifair relies on a dedicated board and hundreds of volunteers to become a success and the News is honoured to play a small part in this century-old tradition.”

Agrifair runs from Aug. 2-6 and admission is $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors. Preschoolers are admitted free. Rodeo admission is an extra $5.

Take a look through this 20-page guide to learn about all of the events, dates and times so you can plan out your adventure ahead of time.

B4 Abbotsford News Tuesday, July 31, 2012

Welcome to the show It’s that time of year again; the start of the 2012 Abbotsford Agrifair!

Attracting over 36,000 visitors each year, Agrifair has been an important part of community life in the Fraser Valley for over one hundred years. It offers a wonderful opportunity to help bridge the gap between city dwellers and the people living in B.C.’s rural communities.

To honour the Abbotsford Airshow’s 50th anniversary, this year’s Agrifair theme is “where pigs McRAE fly.”

It’s probably a bunch of hogwash but I’ve heard rumours that the Agrifair’s mascot, Penny the Pig, can fly.

That wouldn’t surprise me, because I know that she likes to ham it up and hog all of the attention. You’ll have to keep an eye out for her at the fair to find out for yourself.

Abbotsford calls itself “the Agricultural Capital of Canada” for good reason. The farms and agri-businesses in this community contribute over

$1.8 billion toward the local economy.

The area is home to over 1,200 farms with the vast majority being family owned and operated.

Earlier this year, the Province launched a new Agrifoods Strategy as part of the B.C. Jobs Plan.

This five-year strategy builds on our worldwide reputation for producing innovative, safe, high quality and great-tasting foods.

The strategy focuses on our strengths, and maximizes the benefits and opportunities for B.C. farmers and communities like Abbotsford where agriculture supports one in every five jobs.

A trip to Agrifair can serve as the inspiration for young people to make a future in agriculture. Stop and say hello to the 4-H members at the fair and share their enthusiasm and pride as they show you their latest projects and successes. They are our next generation of farmers.

On behalf of the Province of B.C., I’d like to give a sincere thanks to all the people who help make Abbotsford Agrifair happen each year. It’s their dedication, hard work and commitment to the promotion and showcasing of B.C.’s agriculture industry that makes this fair what it is today.

So take a walk through the fairgrounds and let your senses absorb the tastes and smells of B.C.’s bounty. Visit the exhibits, talk to the producers and learn more about where your food comes from. Enjoy a wonderful day with your family and friends; and share in the fun at “the best little country fair!”

Sincerely, Don McRae Minister of Agriculture

A message from the mayor dents and visitors the opportunity to celebrate our rich farming history and also promote and educate the importance of agriculture in our community.

Without your dedication, Abbotsford Agrifair would not be the success it is.

Our city is proud to be the home of 2012 Abbotsford Agrifair and I extend a warm welcome to all the exhibitors from around the province and country. I encourage you and your families to not only enjoy all the fair has to offer this year, but also

Ride with West Coast Amusements Once again West Coast Amusements will bring a whack of rides for all ages – fun for everyone!

And along with great rides are great prices. Thursday is $2 ride night. If you miss Thursday, then Monday is combo day – when you can buy your gate admission and all-day ride ticket for $24.

Can you hear the screams of joy coming from your family and your wallet? This deal is only available at the gate.

West Coast Amusements is not like your regular carnival troupe. The company is dedicated to being one of the country’s leading travelling amusement companies.

West Coast Amusements is a Canadian company with offices and winter quarters in Langley. Company presidents Bingo and Jackie Hauser have lived in Langley for more than 50 years. They specialize in supplying amusement equipment to provide safe, clean, family fun at a wide variety of fairs, exhibitions, rodeos, special events and other promotional activities.

They employ approximately 350 people

every year, and have four individual units that travel all over Western Canada and Washington State.

West Coast Amusements was founded in 1962 by Bingo Hauser, who has been in show business since the mid 1940s. Raised and educated in Brandon, Manitoba, Hauser started travelling with carnivals at a very early age, and became well versed in the business by operating a number of rides and concessions.

When he first went out on his own, Bingo started an animal show, which is where the lion in the WCA logo comes from. Bingo eventually sold the animals to zoos, bought a merry-go-round, and gradually built West Coast Amusements into the major midway operation it is today.

Rides to check out at Agrifair will include: Super Shot, Fireball Zipper, Cliff Hanger, Tilt a Whirl, Scooters, Hurricane, Spider, Ferris Wheel, Sizzler, Ghost Party, Dragon Wagon, Raiders, Coaster, Puppie Roll (new), Berry Go Round, Bulgy the Whale and the Crystal Palace Mirror House.

Tough enough to wear pink Mighty Fraser Pro Rodeo supports Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation

boys who had been facing grim prospects can now travel and make a living by rodeo alone.

Agrifair is proud to have this sport and education available to its community.

There will be three new aspects to the Agrifair rodeo: Firstly, the seating in the rodeo stadium has all been redone – no more splinters in the backside!

This is thanks to a partnership among the City of Abbotsford, Fortis BC, Philps Specialty Services, Mainland Sand & Gravel, Blackwood Building Supplies, Crosby Construction, and the many, many volunteers. However, with upgrades there is always a flip side – to enjoy the comforts of this seating will see you spend $5 per person, 12 years and under will be free.

Secondly, there will be beer service available while you enjoy the rodeo performances, and, thirdly, organizers will be offering “super cool” prizes to be won during each performance – don’t lose your entry ticket!

The Mighty Fraser Pro Rodeo is one of the main attractions at Agrifair, and it brings professional cowboys from Australia, South America and across North America to compete for cash and a chance to qualify for their sport’s marquee events.

Are you tough enough to wear pink at a rodeo?

On Friday at the Mighty Fraser Pro Rodeo, Tough Enough To Wear Pink jelly bands will be available by donation with proceeds going to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

Rodeo occupies a unique position in modern sports, having developed from an American culture that is rapidly changing. Rodeo is a window into the past, but at the same time it is a unique modern sport with an exciting and interesting atmosphere.

Agrifair has cowgirls and cowboys from across the globe, including Australia, Brazil and New Zealand. They come looking to score the coveted high points that will carry them on to the rodeo final events in Edmonton and Las Vegas.

There is the utmost respect for both the rider and the animal. Rodeo is a sport and a history lesson, performed with respect to our past.

With the disappearing lifestyle of the western frontier, the popularity of rodeo has grown, and rodeos have spread across the continent. Cow-

TOP 10 RODEO SUPERSTITIONS As with every sport, rodeo has its superstitions.

Here are the top 10: 1.

NEVER SET YOUR COWBOY HAT ON A BED - It could lead to a major injury or even death. This belief comes from the close association of sleep with death (eternal rest) and the dangerous lifestyle of a rodeo cowboy.

2.

NEVER WEAR YELLOW IN THE ARENA This superstition could be contributed to the fact that yellow is not a very popular colour.

More likely it’s because yellow is associated with cowardice, so you won’t see too much yellow in the arena.

3.

EAT A HOT DOG BEFORE THE RODEO

4.

WEAR DIFFERENT COLOURED SOCKS ON EACH FOOT – Other sports have similar superstitions to this one.

5.

ALWAYS SHAVE BEFORE A PERFORMANCE – Always clean yourself up for lady luck.

6.

NEVER READ YOUR HOROSCOPE ON COMPETITION DAY – This superstition obviously has something to do with tempting your luck.

7.

DON’T EAT PEANUTS OR POPCORN – Eating this small and dried food can cause you to choke.

8.

NEVER KICK A PAPER CUP AT A RODEO – Paper cups have a tendency to spook horses as they blow (or are kicked) around. This can lead to some pretty bad results.

9.

SADDLE BRONC RIDERS SHOULD MOUNT RIGHT FOOT FIRST – This may go back to the Middle Ages, and is a direct link to the modern cowboy from the knight of Medieval Europe, passed from Spanish knights called Caballeros on to the Vaquero and then the cowboy. The theory goes that knights would mount from stands during jousts and would stick their feet in right side stirrups first due to the fact that the left side or sinister side was considered bad or evil.

10. NEVER COMPETE WITH CHANGE IN YOUR POCKET – It might be all you’ll win. Rodeo life is really a tough life. Unlike other sports competitors, rodeo cowboys do not receive a salary. Success is tied to winning and winning alone. This hard reality makes cowboys and cowgirls try to give 100 per cent each time they compete, because without the prize money you can’t pay entry fees at the next show.

A walk down Memory Lane

Antique farm machinery is a popular part of Agrifair.

A fair isn’t complete without a tour through the past at the Pioneer Barn – a walk down memory lane.

The members of the Fraser Valley Antique Farm Machinery Association have a passion for the preservation of historical equipment and household items, and relaying how they operated and were used. The group first played a small role with Agrifair in the early 1980s and has continued to grow since then.

The public can see many of the association’s unique displays, such as cream separating – which was a daily chore for many youngsters in the early days. People can

participate in rope making, a sheave toss, and watch an operating antique sawmill in action. The parade equipment, with a narrated description of when and where it was donated, is generally a hit with the families that have donated the items. The group also has many antique tools on display in the building.

And the day would not be complete without having a cup of coffee and freshly baked pie in the shade.

Be sure to come and see the association’s dedicated volunteers. They are easy to find, in red T-shirts with “Pioneer Corner” on them.

Roll into Magnuson Extreme Wheels Arena The Magnuson Extreme Wheels Arena will feature a stunt bike demo, a roller derby team, and world class skateboarders.

STUNT BIKES The Trial Stars Bike Demo Team have been a part of Agrifair for many years. In the past, they have entertained audiences in the KidZone (now the Fun Field) with all kinds of really cool bike tricks and stunts.

Arguably the coolest trick they do is ride over top of a teammate lying on the ground. The team is so popular to watch that people are lucky to see this stunt while sitting because usually there are no seats left.

ROLLER DERBY Agrifair welcomes the Reign Valley Vixen Roller Derby Team this year. The best way to learn roller derby is to watch. All weekend long, the Valley Vixens will be doing demos, explaining the rules of the game, answering questions, even recruiting new members!

The sport’s origins date back to the 1930s, and roller derby became extremely popular in the 1940s. Modern roller derby is an international sport dominated by all-female amateur teams, in addition to a growing number of male, co-ed, and junior teams. It is being considered for the 2020 Olympics.

The Vixens are a skater-owned and operated all-girl, flat-track roller derby team. The Vixens participate in bouts all over the Lower Mainland, as well as

TO

in places like Vancouver Island, Central British Columbia, Edmonton, as well as in the States in places California and Las Vegas.

Since being founded in 2007, they have developed into a league of athletic, feisty skaters. Skaters start as Smash Test Betties, where they hone their skills until they are drafted to the senior team.

SKATEBOARD Remember the movie “Back to the Future” where Michael J. Fox’s character Marty was riding his skateboard through town, catching a ride from the back of a pickup truck? These days we also think of people jumping down stairs, sliding down rails, or blasting themselves out of ramps.

Well, forget that! This is the new future of skateboarding – experienced athletes drawing large crowds with specialized “freestyle” skateboarding.

Freestyle skateboarding requires no ramps, rails or any other special equipment other than the skateboard itself.

The acrobatic tricks are so different they never cease to amaze people.

The World Round–Up Freestyle Team of Ryan Brynelson, Kevin Harris and Andy Anderson show what they can do in a unique and action-packed show!

Brynelson is the top amateur freestyle skateboarder in Canada. A 20-year-old skater from Delta, he has been perfecting his craft under the careful eye of Canada’s first professional skateboarder and 1980s legendary skater Kevin Harris. In less than four years of skate-

boarding, Brynelson took the crowd by surprise when he placed fourth in the amateur division at the 2010 World Championships in Philadelphia.

He then stepped it up a notch at the Freestyle World Round-Up in 2012, where he placed second against top amateurs from Japan, Australia, America and Brazil.

DRIVE ONE EVENT On Sunday, Agrifair will host a Ford Drive One event in the parking lot by Rotary Stadium.

Agrifair is a not-for-profit community organization. The fair can only happen with the generous support of sponsors.

Thus the board of directors spends many hours thinking of ways to raise revenues in ways which benefit both the fair and its sponsors.

Raffles have been done in the past and this year there is a Drive One event.

The board is asking fairgoers to take 10 minutes of their time to drive a vehicle at the fair, so the fair can receive $20 from Ford Canada and local dealer Magnuson Ford. You can help Agrifair raise up to $6,000.

Think of all the corndogs that would buy!

To top it off, everyone who participates will be entered to win two tickets to Cirque du Soleil’s Quidam at the Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre this summer.

Agri fun at Agriland Agriland will be home to many animals over the weekend, and organizers are focusing on babies this year.

There will be a foal, a baby llama, ducklings, a calf and, of course, those irresistible piglets. Visitors can watch the bunnies run, jump and play, or come and say hello to the miniature horses.

Those who still have energy after spending time with all the animals can have a try at being a farmer for a day. Here you will have a chance to dig for potatoes, pick apples from the orchard and collect eggs from the chicken coop.

Agriland will also feature live horseshoeing and sheep shearing. As well, the BC Dairy Classroom will give daily milking demonstrations – visitors will get up close to see first-hand how a dairy farmer milks his cows.

The public can also get a closer look at the impressive Strathcona Mounted Troop horses, which will be stabled in the Agriland area.

Agriland has grown this year. Normally it is on the blacktop of the west end of the trade show building. This year it will take over the entire area between the trade show building and the Agrifair Arena, in addition to the area on the pavement!

Come early and listen to the rooster waking up, and stay late to watch all the animals go to bed.

KidZone becomes FunField Don’t forget to check out the FunField.

Formerly known as KidZone, FunField has taken on new life. There is so much to see and do, you could really spend one whole day of the fair in this area.

It will be the home of the Spring Up Trampoline Show.

The trampoline is always fun, and has been around for decades. After all, how many of us have one in our backyard, or grew up with one? But to bounce trampoline while using a wall is comparatively new, and always impressive. This system allows the acrobat to carry out performances where he may walk on a vertical wall, enter by a window, or land on the roof and bounce back on the trampoline. The trampo-wall was a great success at the fair last year, and is back for one more year.

There will also be a stage full of entertainment brought to the fair by A&D Music of Abbotsford. This stage has Gary Savard of “Now That’s Magic.” Savard has been a loyal supporter of Agrifair for many years, and his magic show just gets better each year.

Saturday night A&D Music will present “the Showcase of Young Musicians,” which is exactly what the name suggests.

The layout for the FunField has changed as well. It is almost like a trade show format. As you walk into the field be sure to grab your drinks and popcorn, and get ready to settle in.

The Rock Wall is waiting. Call of Paintball lets people shoot off a few rounds, and they can walk on water with Krazy Balls – imagine you’re a hamster in a large ball rolling around on the water!

There are so many activities going on, it will be a great time in the FunField.

Strathcona Mounted Free community pancake breakfast Troop rides again

Lord Strathcona Mounted Troop is back at Agrifair this year.

For what might be the last year at Agrifair, the Lord Strathcona Mounted Troop will be performing in the rodeo arena, better known as the ThunderBowl, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Monday the troop will be inside, as part of the Country Horse Classic Show held in the Agrifair Arena, for a ride that is considered a classic by horse enthusiasts. The troop requires permission to start each show. The salute must be given by an honoured guest prior to the performance commencing.

The 25 members of the Strathcona Mounted Troop are soldiers of Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians). The members of the troop volunteer for one or two years to serve in much the same manner as Strathconas did in the 1920s.

Their daily schedule concentrates on the care of their mounts and equipment, and in cavalry drills and training. In addition, they are responsible to remain ready for active military duty, and must therefore participate in trade-specific training.

Don’t miss your chance to see them perform, brought to you by Chances Abbotsford.

The Psalm 23 Transition Society is preparing once again this year to serve the community a free pancake breakfast at Abbotsford Agrifair on Sunday morning.

The breakfast is designed to serve Agrifair staff, exhibitors and any members of the public who want to attend. Psalm 23 has been running this community event since 2006, and serves 2,000 to 4,000 plates each year.

“It’s grown beyond anyone’s expectations,” said Psalm 23 president and executive director Marvin Declare.

“It’s been a wonderful outreach for us. It gives the students of our program a chance to meet and interact with the community and change people’s perceptions about them.”

“I truly appreciate the relationship we have with Agrifair as they have supported us to the point where we now have Sunday morning worship led by the Brad Davis Band and a morning message from Pastor Cory Dueck of Genesis Church.

“This year I will also be sharing an update to our ministry and the wonderful miracles that are happening.”

The free breakfast has received support from the community.

“We are delighted this year to have Whatcom Road and Sumas SaveOn-Foods sponsor the bulk of all our

food needs and expect McDonald’s on Bourquin Crescent to support our supply needs,” said Declare.

He said everyone associated with Agrifair has allowed the group to carry the message of hope to those who are in need within our community.

Psalm 23 will be selling homemade strawberry and blueberry jams, concentrated juices and fruit cups at their community booth near the Food Court, and volunteers will once again be serving pies and refreshments at Pioneer Corner.

Declare invites people to stop by and say hello if they are interested in volunteering for the Pie Barn or for the Sunday morning pancake breakfast. Psalm 23 Transition Society is a charitable non-profit ministry that offers a province-wide alcohol and drug treatment facility at 59 Mile House. Students then bridge back into the community through their supportive housing units. For more information, contact them at 604870-5616, email psalm23society@ shaw.ca or visit their website at www. psalm23society.com.

Declare hopes the Sunday celebration at Agrifair will eventually bring local churches together for a joint city-wide service.

HAIR-RAISING EXPERIENCE

Multicultural event added to Agrifair Agrifair will get a multicultural avour this year, with the addition of Abbyfest at Agrifair.

Musleh Hakki is the founder of Abbotsford’s annual Abbyfest event which celebrates the diversity in the community, and he is bringing the same approach to Agrifair on Saturday.

It will begin with a Parade of Nations at 10 a.m. This typically brings 60 different ags on parade at Abbyfest, and Hakki said it emphasizes that “we have so many different nationalities among us.â€?

At 11 a.m. there will be main stage entertainment including the First Nations Jiggers, belly dancers, Scot-

daily and the ďŹ nal two from each day will go on to Monday’s ďŹ nals. Monday will have six ďŹ nalists texting to win a phone (ďŹ nalists for the Monday competition will receive fair passes).

You may not even have to enter contests to win at Agrifair. Don’t be afraid if an Agrifair volunteer comes up to you and asks, “Do you mind answering a few questions?� This just might be your opportunity to win tickets to the Rockin’ River Music Festival.

There you go: A chance to win $1,000, a $100 prize, a new phone or tickets to a great music festival.

available at the entry gates and the guest services booth.

Drop off your completed entry at guest services. Don’t forget to look for the piglets. Hint: You will ďŹ nd them in the food court.

If you think you’ve got texting down, enter the texting competition brought to you by Clearwest Solutions for a chance to win a brand new phone. You have to be “the fastest texter in the Fraser Valley.� Registration will be at the Clearwest booth on the fairgrounds and at guest services.

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday participants will get a text to participate that day. There will be six contestants

Come to Agrifair and watch contestants compete in the Amazing Race, brought to you by the Abbotsford News.

One lucky participant will have a chance to win a share of $2,000 in cash.

On Saturday, Aug. 4, 10 hopeful participants (ďŹ ve teams of two) will vie for ďŹ rst, second and third cash prizes.

If you feel the Amazing Race is a little beyond your league, you can always follow the cutout of Penny the Pig in a scavenger hunt to win $100 per day. But be careful, Penny has about 11 brothers and sisters, so you have to ďŹ nd the right Penny. Scavenger Hunt questionnaires will be

tish Highland dancers and bhangra dancers.

At 1 p.m. there will be a demonstration of the kabaddi, the South Asian sport that combines elements of wrestling and rugby. First there will be a demonstration game, followed by audience participation.

From 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. there will be a mock Indo-Canadian wedding, with singing, dancing and rituals. “We are excited,� said Hakki. “It gives a new dimension to Agrifair.�

It will also be a preview of Abbyfest, which this year takes place on Sept.

15 at the Ag-Rec Building at Exhibition Park.

Inverted fairgoers enjoy the West Coast Amusements midway at Agrifair.

Agrifair salutes past president Harry de Jong Harry de Jong’s dedication to Abbotsford Agrifair over the years is reflected in the success of the board dynamic, as well as the relationships he has built within the community.

De Jong “retired” DE JONG into the position of past president last fall, after serving as an Agrifair director continuously since 1995.

After terms as the board secretary and vice-president, de Jong served as president of Agrifair for more than 10 years. He is the longest serving and oldest current member on the board.

By the time de Jong turned his attention to Agrifair, he had already amassed a distinguished record of service to the community and the province. His service began on the MSA Parks and Recreation Commission in 1963. That was followed by terms on Tourism Abbotsford and the MSA Hospital Board, 10 years as mayor of Matsqui and eight as Abbotsford MLA, including a term as Minister of Agriculture.

In his many years of dedicated service, he has proven to be an effective leader.

A humble, thoughtful and fair man, he leads with quiet grace and style. He allows everyone a chance to voice their opinion.

With determination and perseverance, de Jong has unified those diverse opinions and brought the Agrifair board together as a family, with each member working together

and striving to make the fair bigger and better.

Under his leadership, the “little” fair has grown into a five-day community celebration of family fun and wholesome entertainment that showcases the thriving local agricultural industry.

De Jong has always stressed that each director has an individual contribution to make, but that taking action and making decisions regarding Agrifair must be done as one single unit. He always reminds the board decisions need to be made in the best interest of the fair; that first and foremost, Agrifair is a fun family event for the community.

De Jong is well-respected by each and every Agrifair board member. They describe him as loyal and trustworthy, a great man and an even greater friend.

In 2006, he was appointed to the order of Abbotsford in recognition of a lifetime of service to the community.

In 2010, he was listed as one of the 100 Most Influential People in Abbotsford.

In 2011 he was selected as the community’s Favourite Volunteer in the Abbotsford News A-List. He was also instrumental in making Agrifair the A-List’s Favourite Community Event.

De Jong is generally quiet, but his many sayings display both a sharp wit and a deep thoughtfulness.

For example: “The only difference between a pigeon and a farmer today is that a pigeon can still make a deposit on a John Deere.”
