Independent review of water issues: Braun Councillor wants a fresh look at questions surrounding a new city water source and the current supply system A4

ASHES FOUND

Team effort to replace playground The Abbotsford Police Department joined forces with the Clearbrook and Abbotsford Kiwanis Clubs last Thursday at Dr. Thomas A. Swift Elementary to raise funds for the school, where playground equipment was destroyed by an arson on July 15. The approximate $60,000 needed to replace and install the equipment is covered by insurance, but the policy requires a $10,000 deductible fee. The fundraiser – which included a barbecue meal by donation, a dunk tank, a bouncy castle and games – resulted in the full amount being raised.

Patient Testimonial

Ten years ago, I decided to have a dental implant rather than a bridge. Bridges can be hard to clean and can break down over time. I made an appointment with Dr. Lui and found the implant procedure virtually painless. My dental implant was problem free so, five years later, I had another implant placed by Dr. Lui. I have no discomfort, I can eat anything and the implants are easy to brush - just like normal teeth!

I have complete confidence in Dr. Lui. His rates are fair and I know he keeps up-to-date with the latest technology and equipment.

I highly recommend Dr. Lui to anyone considering having tooth replacement with a dental implant.

Abbotsford Coun. Henry Braun believes the city’s current water system can’t handle a new, expanded water source and he is calling for an independent review of the city’s needs.

Citing a report presented to the Abbotsford Mission Water and Sewer Commission (AMWSC) last month, Braun said Abbotsford’s maximum water availability is approximately 170 million litres per day (MLD).

However, he said the new report indicates the current water supply system is limited to handling about 135 MLD. Braun said he was shocked when he heard that figure.

“I would have thought staff would have known that.”

A limited supply system is an entirely new problem, he said Last year’s referendum, which was soundly defeated, identified a new water supply source from Stave Lake as a critical requirement.

“Now that it has been shown that the water supply source is not as urgent a matter as was

The highest usage deficiencies” since taking the city has experienced was over the water system from 139.2 MLD for one day in July

2007.

Gordon also explained that the independent water line proposed for Stave Lake would have gone directly into the Maclure reservoir. That would help fill the reservoir without impacting the current city system.

“It’s not quite the way Coun.

Braun sees it.”

He also pointed out that all of the figures are projections.

“We haven’t run the system at 155 MLD before.”

According to Gordon, the engineering department received the new information in the spring and quickly forwarded the report to the AMWSC. Demand for water has been “way down” over previous years.

“We didn’t know we would be sending out 3,000 leak letters and we didn’t know how effective conservation would be.”

While he’s not sure if a peer review will help, Gordon still says a new water source needs to be found, ideally one that is independent of the primary existing supply line from Norrish Creek in Mission.

Woman’s ashes found in car Car repair business wants to return canister

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Brad Bailey and Chad Fredette have come across some strange items in vehicles during their years in the car-repair business, but this one is the capper.

A 1994 Saab 9000 left behind about 18 months ago at their business – Dolpin Radiators and Automotive Repairs on Gladys Avenue in Abbotsford – was being cleaned out to get it ready for sale or salvage, when they came across a brown container in a plastic bag.

A label on the container listed the name “Ethel Maie Rendall Sloan,” as well as the names of a funeral home in West Vancouver and a crematorium in Vancouver.

$590

VIKKI HOPES

Abbotsford News

Brad Bailey and his business partner found this canister containing a woman’s ashes in a car that was abandoned at their shop by its owner.

The canister, it turned out, was holding human ashes.

The death certificate inside indicated that Sloan died on April 4, 2010 at the age of 95.

“Very, very strange,” Fredette said of his reaction to the discovery.

They have tried contacting the Abbotsford woman

who dropped off the car to get a new radiator, but the phone number she provided no longer works.

They contacted the crematorium and the

funeral home, which encountered the same issue.

Online searches also produced no results.

Bailey said the woman did not pay her repair bill, but they did allow her to drop by a couple of times and remove items from the car. They question VIDLEIONE ON ws.com why she abbyne didn’t take the ashes.

They are at a loss over what to do with the remains and hope that going public will alert another relative who might want the ashes and isn’t aware they are out of the family’s possession.

Anyone with information is asked to call Dolphin Radiators at 604-5563600 and ask for Brad or Chad.

The name on the Facebook pa g e is “Ryan Martin Stewart.”

He is a supervisor at “Stewart Landscaping LTD.” – a family-owned business – and an assistant director of marketing for a company that sells hand-crocheted items.

He is from Calgary, lives in Abbotsford, and attended Langley Secondary and then the B.C. Institute of Technology.

According to the Abbotsford Police Department (APD), that information is all bogus – allegedly created by convicted child lurer Jeffrey Goddard, 22, in violation of his probation conditions.

Goddard, who was released in February after serving two-thirds of a 20-month sentence, was re-arrested last week and charged with four counts of breach.

Now, the APD wants anyone who had contact with the fake persona of “Ryan Martin Stewart” – whether online, over the phone or in person – to come forward.

“Our biggest concern at this point is that he (Goddard) may have attempted to (pose as Ryan Stewart) outside of Facebook as well,” MacDonald said.

The Facebook page for Ryan Martin Stewart was created on May 24 and has a list of 296 “friends.”

“F riends” are added when a person with a Facebook page sends a request that is accepted by another Facebook

states one post.

Goddard previously pleaded guilty to invitation to sexual touching, communicating via a computer to lure a child, impersonating a police officer, and two breach charges.

He had created bo gus Facebook pages in 2010, posing as a teenage girl, a TV producer and a police officer offering rides in a patrol car using names such as “Julia Luzak,” “Ryan Barns” and “Jordan Hobbs.”

He then used those personas to connect with eight youths – ages 12 to 16 – online, over the phone and in person.

One boy he befriended stayed with Goddard for two weeks, during which time Goddard crawled into bed with him at night and, on one occasion, suggested the two take a shower together.

Court-ordered conditions following his release from prison included that he have no contact with anyone under the age of 18, not use any electronic device that can access the Internet, and not establish or maintain any social networking site.

The APD alleges that Goddard not only set up the “Ryan Martin Stewart” Facebook page, but had contact with more than one youth in person since his release.

Anyone who has had contact with “ Rya n Martin Stewart” or “Stewart Landscaping” is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police De par tment at 604-859-5225.

The ‘river’ rocked Veteran performers play Mission event

Carol AUN Black Press

The music played into the night as thousands of fans rocked at Mission Raceway Park last weekend.

Headliners Randy Bachman and Dwight Yoakam brought people to the show Friday, while George Canyon and Blue Rodeo closed things down Saturday.

This year’s Rockin’ River Music Festival was a “really, really slick affair,” said performer and co-organizer Kenny Hess.

The Mission country star, who had his turn on stage Friday evening, said the crowd was energetic and everyone looked “incredibly happy.”

Even the performers enjoyed themselves.

The management team for Bachman, Yoakam and Canyon said they think it was the bestrun festival they have been in, Hess shared.

“Everyone was so friendly; they said they would come back any time we want

BOB FRIESEN

Randy Bachman was among the headliners at the Rockin’ River Music Festival last weekend. them.”

Close to 15,000 people attended this year’s threeday festival, which kicked off Thursday.

Many people came to

opening day, but many missed out because of the multi-vehicle crash on the Mission Bridge in the afternoon that tied traffic up for hours. Hess says

he personally knows eight people from the south side of the river who couldn’t make it, and adds there were many others in the same position.

Despite that glitch beyond his control, Hess notes the kickoff party will be back next year.

“We want to expand it every year and do something new.”

Hess is already planning next year’s show and hopes to announce the acts in the coming weeks. He hopes the lineup will attract more than 50,000 music fans next year.

“It’s a huge venture for a couple of local boys to take on,” said Hess of the festival.

The positive feedback he received after the show encourages him to continue with the work, but he says he would like more support from the local community.

“We’re proud to be able to do this at home.”

WebTalk Bookworm bench taken to dump

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Do you feel an independent review of Abbotsford’s water issues is required?

So unfortunate, it was a very cute bench.

Monica Koester Vanderzwan

To answer, go to abbynews.com

It was rotting, and if it was on his property then that could potentially be a liability to him.

It was stupid to spend $6,000 on a freakin park bench anyways, even if it was neat/cute.

With all the money troubles in the world things like this are incredibly frivolous, and I’m sure if they really tried hard they could find someone to do it for much, much less just to have their stuff on display.

Pipeline scrap a contrast to port expansion Jeff

Nagel

My View What do the loss of Delta farmland, the paving over of ancient aboriginal sites on the Fraser River and Enbridge’s planned Northern Gateway oil pipeline to Kitimat all have in common?

All three are sacrifices B.C. is being asked to make so the rest of Canada can use B.C. ports to exploit rising trade with Asia.

Agricultural land is being carved off in blocks big and small to convert into portrelated development or highway improvements.

The South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) last year rolled over some of the province’s oldest First Nations archaeological sites near the Alex Fraser Bridge.

That may have gone relatively unnoticed but most Lower Mainland motorists know their commutes are increasingly slowed by trucks clogging the roads and longer trains holding up traffic – more symptoms of the pressure to make Metro Vancouver

Canada’s west coast super port.

Now, after a rising tide of public opposition to the Northern Gateway pipeline, Premier Christy Clark has vowed to block it without world-leading environmental protection and a big share of benefits for B.C. She has her eye on the $81-billion tax bonanza governments stand to reap from the pipeline.

Should Ottawa attempt to force it through, the province threatens to bog Enbridge down in permit approvals and even deny the project electricity from BC Hydro.

Standing up to Alberta and Ottawa might make good politics in the dying year of a possibly doomed government.

But such posturing likely rings hollow for local environmental groups like the Burns Bog Conservation Society that have spent years fighting the SFPR over the threat it poses to the bog and wildlife habitat along the Fraser.

The perimeter road is all about quickly shunting trucks between Deltaport and Highway 1, which is also expanding to 10 lanes through much of Metro Vancouver.

For years, the B.C. government has been an ardent partner of Ottawa in its AsiaPacific Gateway strategy, expediting the port and road expansion.

Victoria never lifted a finger to stop the resulting industrialization of farmland, and in fact pulled land out of the Agricultural Land Reserve to enable the port expansion envisioned in the Tsawwassen Treaty.

Where, Metro Vancouver mayors might also ask, was Clark’s boldness to shake down Ottawa when they wanted to slap a

All of this boils down to the same thing: an expectation B.C. suck it up ... to benefit the rest of Canada. tax on each container that moves through the port?

Since container trucks beat up our roads and bridges, they suggested, why not charge a container toll that would go to TransLink and act as one new funding source that doesn’t come from the pockets of the region’s embattled taxpayers and motorists.

But the container tax was shot down almost instantly by the BC Liberals.

In fairness, this region has been on the receiving end of plenty of cash from Ottawa.

The feds have pumped in hundreds of millions of dollars – not just for obvious port-related projects like the SFPR and Roberts Bank Rail Corridor overpasses, but also big contributions to the construction of the Pitt River Bridge, the Canada Line and now the Evergreen Line to extend SkyTrain to Coquitlam.

Port expansion also promises thousands of additional jobs in the Lower Mainland, which can’t pin its economic future on retail service wages alone.

That doesn’t take away from the fact there are downsides to being Canada’s West Coast industrial park.

Whether it’s the new Enbridge pipeline, the expanded Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal or simply more expansion of port terminals, all of this boils down to the same thing: an expectation B.C. suck it up and accept inconvenience, risk and environmental or other losses to benefit the rest of Canada.

If we are being asked, over and over, to take one for Team Canada, maybe it is time to consider seeking a new deal.

Lily pads spoiling Mill Lake I’ve lived in Abbotsford since 1992 and I cannot recall seeing any letter or news story addressing the concerns of the growth of the lily pads in our beautiful Mill Lake.

So, I would like to throw the spotlight on this problem.

Every year the insidious growth just continues to cover more of the lake area.

If one looks at the southwestern corner of the lake, the view of the pads is quite alarming.

In the past, I can remember seeing people in a “harvester-looking” vessel cutting the lily pads at the stems.

As a matter of fact,

one can still see this dilapidated boat docked at the eastern end of the lake. I don’t know for sure, but I’m surmising that these folks were volunteers doing this work.

It did not last long, perhaps because it was not effective.

I would like to know what city hall is doing to address this issue.

I understand money is tight, but we do seem to be able to find some to put up things like public art projects.

Centennial Park and Mill Lake are, in my opinion, one of the biggest assets Abbotsford has for recreation.

It really spoils it and cannot be good for the health of water quality, and the fish in it.

If a harvester, or

some other machine, was put back into service, I would be personally willing to volunteer with this program.

I’m sure others would, too, so we could restore the

beauty of our lake.

Don’t leave pets in hot vehicles Every year we encounter people leaving their pets in vehicles on hot days. Each time we approach the guardian it is the same answer, “We love our pet and it loves to come out with us.”

Well, the reality is your pet may love you and in turn it expects you to look after it and not place in harm’s way, that may kill the pet.

Pets in vehicles on warm and sunny days can die quickly as heat rises fast, even with windows open.

So, rather than argue with us and try to explain how much you love your pet, one time you may be explaining why your pet died at your careless behaviour.

Discontinue airshow

It is my opinion that the airshow should be discontinued. The noise level is frustrating for those of us that live near the airport.

Additionally I wonder if we need all the added pollution that the jets generate.

Perhaps 50 years ago when the airport was out of town it was not so bad. However, nowadays with all the housing in the area it should be re-evaluated.

I also wonder if any thought or care is given for people who may work at night and try to sleep during the day. Even working in the area is difficult with the constant noise.

Robin Wintemute

Thanks to the Abby Police As a resident of Abbotsford for over 20 years, I would like to thank the Abbotsford Police Department for the amazing job you have done in lowering the rate of crime here in Abbotsford. Thank you for using creativity and intelligence to accomplish this, one way being through the many drug prevention programs you have developed in schools.

Thank you also for acknowledging the support of parents and the community in your efforts.

Trio charged for grow-op and weapons Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford man whose home was the subject of a civil forfeiture claim has now had charges laid against him for an alleged grow-op on the property.

Iqbal Gill, 49, made his first appearance in Abbotsford provincial court on Aug. 9, along with co-accused Harjot Gill, 19, and Prabhjot Gill, 23.

Iqbal has been charged with production of a controlled substance, possession for the purpose of trafficking, and fraudulently consuming electricity.

He has also been charged with three firearms-related charges, including possession of a restricted firearm with ammunition.

Harjot has been charged with three firearms offences, and Prabhjot faces two such counts.

Iqbal is one of three former owners of the Siskin Drive home where the alleged grow-op was found by police in March 2011.

That property was the subject of a civil forfeiture claim in May of last year in which it was alleged that the home’s down payment, mortgage, property taxes,

improvements and maintenance were funded by the profits of crime.

The claim alleged that the property had operated as a marijuana grow operation from the time Iqbal and two others purchased it in 2003 until the raid by police last year.

The home has since been sold to an unrelated party in foreclosure proceedings, according to civil court documents.

The property was busted by Abbotsford Police on March 17, 2011, and a two-storey garage was allegedly found to contain more than 1,000 marijuana plants.

Also allegedly found on the property were

a handgun, a submachine gun, an assault rifle, ammunition, $4,000 in cash and a device for obtaining electricity without it being metered.

Iqbal and the other former property owners stated in court documents, in response to the civil forfeiture claim, that they rented a portion of their property to people who ran the grow-up, but they had no knowledge of it. “The defendants exercised due care and diligence in monitoring the rental property,� the documents state.

Iqbal, Harjot and Prabhjot are next slated to appear in court on Sept. 17.

each group of five students has a teacher and a Canadian buddy with them daily.

They are free to spend time with their host families in the evenings and on weekends.

Their trip includes two excursions to Vancouver – one with teachers and buddies, and one on their own.

They will also visit UBC and meet Canadians who are learning Japanese.

All that is required by host families is to provide the student with room and board and assistance with car pooling. The room could be shared with a family member of the same gender and roughly the same age.

To assist with the costs of hosting a student, remuneration is provided.

While the program runs in Abbotsford, families who live in places such as Mission, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, and Aldergrove are also welcome.

Lingerie football on TV Lingerie football is coming to your television sets.

Officials at the Lingerie Football League (LFL) have come to an agreement with B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CHEK TV to broadcast all eight of the Canadian league games as well as the LFL Canada championship game being promoted as the Lingerie Bowl I. All broadcasts will be in high definition and take place Saturday nights at 8:30 p.m.

The inaugural season of LFL Canada is set to kick off on Saturday, Aug. 25 in Abbotsford with the BC Angels hosting the Regina Rage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Considering LFL Footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track record in relation to television ratings, rapidly building momentum and interest from our viewers, we feel LFL Saturday Night Football will find

a whole new audience on CHEK,â&#x20AC;? said Bill Pollock, program manager for CHEK TV. While CHEK will carry all LFL Canada games, the networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus will be centered on its home team, the BC Angels.

The LFL is expected to announce another Canadian broadcaster to include coverage across the remaining territories in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to build yet another league from ground level to hopefully the success we are enjoying in the U.S.,â&#x20AC;? said Mitchell Mortaza, founder and chairman of the LFL. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Securing a television licence without having even kicked off truly speaks to the excitement that surrounds our game and the upcoming inaugural season of LFL Canada.â&#x20AC;?

Major medal haul at rugby nationals Abbotsford athletes were front and centre as all four of B.C.’s under-18 and under-16 provincial teams climbed the podium at the national championships in Sherbrooke, Que. The U18 boys squad, starring the local trio of Justin Douglas, Jorden Best and J.D. Paul, won gold on the strength of a dominant 40-16 victory over Alberta in the final. Douglas

paced the offence with two tries.

Both of B.C.’s U16 boys teams won medals, illustrating the province’s remarkable depth in the sport. The U16 gold squad, featuring Abbotsford’s Brandon Ho, Kaden MacLeod and Josh Thiel, edged Ontario 15-13 in a thrilling gold medal match.

The U16 blue team’s lone loss came to their B.C. counterparts in the semifinals, but they bounced

back to beat Ontario-2 12-7 in the bronze medal game. Alex Ho scored the game-winning try, and he was joined on the podium by fellow Abbotsford natives Jackson Boyle, Ayden Kirkpatrick and Kolby Steen.

The U18 girls squad, featuring Lauren Arthur, Madison Borrows, Tiffany Picketts and Kayla Van Veld, blanked Quebec 13-0 to clinch a bronze medal.

Rebels swept by Bandits in WCSLA final The Tri-City Bandits made short work of Abbotsford’s Valley Rebels in the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association final.

On paper, it looked like it would be a close series – the first-place Bandits finished just

one point ahead of the Rebels in the senior B regular season.

But Tri-City edged Valley 10-8 in the best-of-five opener last Thursday, then followed that up by dominating the extra session in an 8-4 overtime win on

was the turning point.

“The air went out of the balloon,” he said.

Falling in the final was disappointing, but the Rebels had never been so deep in the playoffs in their history.

“We had a great run,” Downey noted.

Saturday. They wrapped up the league’s lone berth to the President’s Cup national championship tourney on Sunday, winning 14-5.

Rebels coach Ted Downey said that the Game 2 OT, where his team was out-scored 4-0,

Behind every work zone cone is a worker in a vulnerable position. Each cone stands for someone’s father, mother, son, or daughter.

Pitching prowess powers success

Savour that sweet FREE laptop smell.

From A19

with the second-best record in 2010.

But despite that success, they’d fallen in the league semifinals four consecutive years.

“We broke that curse and made it to the final this time,” Junior Cards coach Shawn Besse noted with a chuckle. “A silver medal is great for our organization.

“All in all, it was a great team effort, and our pitching staff really stepped up and pitched extremely well.”

The Junior Cards, who came into the provincial tourney in Surrey as the third seed, tore through the round robin undefeated with wins over the Coquitlam Redlegs (3-2), the White Rock Junior Tritons (4-0) and the North Shore Junior Twins (7-1).

In the semifinals against the Vancouver Junior Cannons, Abbotsford got a tremendous complete-game pitching performance from J.J. Pankratz, while Liam Kano-McGregor (4-for-4, two RBI) and Joel VanEe (2-for-3, two RBI) sparked the offence in a 9-2 win.

But in the final, Victoria Junior Mariners pitcher Tanner Hess scattered seven hits over seven innings, and Mitch Bryan’s bases-loaded single in the third inning supplied all the offence the Island squad would require in a 7-2 victory.

“We just couldn’t get a clutch hit and couldn’t catch a break,” Besse said.

“Victoria scored four runs with two outs, so they got the timely hits, and that made the difference.”

"It was good to get back into it," he said, reflecting on the victory in Kamloops.

"I was riding on the pro tour, going down to Florida and training, but the last couple years I've been doing more coaching. But I definitely wanted to still do some local stuff."

National bronze for hoopsters

JOHN MORROW

Abbotsford News

Connor Brolin of Surrey was among the competitors at barefoot water-ski provincials at Sumas Slough on Saturday. The event drew 15 athletes from across B.C.

Bronze was the medal colour of choice for B.C.’s provincial basketball teams at the under17 and under-15 national championships earlier this month.

All four B.C. teams finished third in their respective tournaments, and each squad featured some Abbotsford content.

The U17 boys, featuring J.J. Pankratz of Yale Secondary and Abby Senior’s Devin Brar, edged Quebec 73-72 in the bronze medal game, with Pankratz scoring 16 points and hitting a go-ahead three-pointer in the final minute.

Yale’s Jauquin Bennett-

Boire was among the standouts at U15 nationals, earning first team all-star honours as B.C. clinched third place with a 65-51 win over Manitoba.

The U15 girls team, featuring W.J. Mouat’s Amanda Thompson, Taylor Claggett of MEI, and Alicia and Cierra Roufosse of Yale, beat Ontario 58-57 for the bronze, with Claggett notching seven points and five rebounds.

Yale’s Hailey Kendall played for the B.C. U17 girls this summer, and they won national bronze thanks to a 69-38 blowout victory over Quebec.

Arts council teams with BC Teen Challenge

The Abbotsford Arts Council has partnered with BC Teen Challenge Women’s Centre in support of its residential support program for women recovering

from addictions.

Jewelry handcrafted by BC Teen Challenge students as part of their recovery process is now being featured in the arts council’s

boutique at Kariton Art Gallery.

“BC Teen Challenge students uphold high standards of quality and workmanship in their jewelry making,” said Gail

Gromaski, executive director of the council.

The Teen Challenge is a one-year residential support program for men and women, aged 19 years and

older, who are trapped by life-controlling addictions.

“The Abbotsford Arts Council warmly welcomed our jewelry line, extending an invaluable opportu-

nity for our students to showcase their talents and abilities while promoting an awareness of our addiction recovery pro g ram,” said Angie Appenheimer,

The seventh annual Historic Downtown Abbotsford Car Show is set for Sept. 15 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The popular community family event will line the streets on the north end of downtown Abbotsford with hundreds of classic cars and hot rods, the Abbotsford Farm and Country Market, a barbecue by the United Church ladies and a free stage show, said Bob King, president of the Car Show Society.

The entertainment stage will feature a different sound this year.

A pair of country entertainers from Mission, including one of Canada’s best kept secrets, Kenny Hess, along with Jim Abbott, will kick up the pace a notch or two.

Hess has shared concert stages with Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Merle Haggard, Tanya Tucker and Brooks & Dunn, just to mention a few.

Hess has never forgotten his roots in Mission, performing at last weekend’s Rockin’ River Music Festival, plus appearances throughout the Fraser Valley and BC including the Cloverdale Rodeo.

The other Mission musician, Jim Abbott, began playing and singing at the age of nine and over the years has been a band member of Magenta and Mirauder.

He was a finalist in the BCCMA (BC Country Music Association) vocal search, and has performed at Merritt Mountain Musicfest and at countless festivals and events across BC. The other headliner at the Downtown Car Show stage is “The Man in Black,” David James and Big River.

James and his band are dedicated to replicating the most authentic Johnny Cash tribute possible.

As part of the Sept.

15 event, families can also enjoy the farmer’s market, check out some of the local businesses or take part in the pokerwalk which is open to everyone this tear.

Yared set to inspire in Abbotsford

Routine: change it up L

iving healthy can be a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be a bore. Abbotsford provides a diverse range of activities, including drop-in programs and a network of parks and trails that promote fun fitness for all ages. There are plenty of opportunities to meet new people by joining a group event or rediscovering the pleasure of exercise by shaking up an old routine.

Find your love for fitness this late summer and fall by adopting a new healthy hobby.

Health begins from within with positive food choices and a balanced mind. Lepp Farm Market is a year round market that provides local quality produce and now offers group cooking classes with Fraser Valley culinary instructor Chef Dez. Dez uses his extensive training as a government certified “Red Seal” chef to create fun and informative cooking classes. Opt for an evening of vegetarian dishes from the Mediterranean, learn to execute the complex tastes of an authentic Mexican fiesta, or take on the smoky heat of chipotle peppers in a variety of Southwest inspired dishes. The classes run weekly from September to December and provide a hands-on opportunity to learn about fresh, healthy ingredients.

Visit chefdez.com to sign up.

The Parks, Recreation and Culture department of the City offers healthy hobbies for adults and seniors that engage the mind by learning new skills. Try a

beginners sewing class at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre, where students are taught basic skills, such as how to thread and use a sewing machine, followed by how to properly select fabric and install zippers, among other useful techniques.

Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Yoga exercises are known to relax the body and mind through slow movement, correct posture and awareness of breathing. The intensity of the classes can be modified to suit any age or body type, and is a unique and effective approach to both mental and physical health.

Another full-body workout with limited strain is Nordic pole walking. Walking with the poles engages all the muscle groups and reduces stress on joints, while promoting posture and balance.

A terrific alternative to the treadmill is taking the scenic route and running or walking outside instead.

With a vast network of parks and trails that connect across Abbotsford, some including picnic shelters and dog off-leash parks, running, walking, or biking becomes a fun and an active way to explore the community.

Discovery Trail is a paved trail over 30 kilometres long and divided up into five sections, beginning with an 8 km length of trail connecting several local parks, and ending with a 5.5 km trail that passes through

historical Clayburn Village.

The Fraser Valley is home to some spectacular trails for bikers and hikers, including Sumas Mountain, located only 15 minutes from downtown Abbotsford.

For something closer to home try a beginner’s trail like Downes Bowl, that provides a wide path with moderately steep sections and several bridges, located near the Ag-Rec in the heart of Abbotsford.

For more fitness fun, spend an afternoon golfing and strolling one of Abbotsford’s courses, including Ledgeview Golf and Country Club, Valley Golf Centre or Fraserglen Golf.

Try Latin or Ballroom dancing and learn the basic steps of various dance styles such as the Waltz, FoxTrot, Cha-Cha, Rumba, Tango and Swing. Ten classes are offered from September 13 – November 15 between 7-9 p.m. Contact the Abbotsford Recreation Centre for registration.

Try a new healthy hobby with one of Abbotsford’s recreational programs, including drop-in hockey, swimming, fitness, and skating, among many other senior and junior activities. This fall, allow yourself the opportunity to live active and have fun while doing it. For more information on any of these activities, consult the PRC Fall program guide, or visit abbotsford.ca/prc

Make your diet work for you

F

or those adamant about working out but unsure of how to maximize their workouts, the answer might just lie in your daily diet. Check out some tips on how to make your diet work for you and consequently improve both how you feel and how you look.

Health

my

• DON’T DISCARD BREAKFAST. Men and women who don’t eat before their morning workouts are bound to feel more sluggish, as the majority of the energy from the previous night’s dinner has already been used up. A light breakfast of whole-grain cereal or bread paired with lowfat milk an hour before working out can provide the added boost your body needs and make your morning exercise routine that much more effective.

Water essential to human health

M

• DON’T OVERDO IT. A small meal prior to working out is generally the best way to go. You can workout after a large meal, but you’ll need to give yourself more time between eating and exercising, ideally several hours. If you like to workout after a long day at the office, eat a light snack, ideally an hour before you expect to begin your workout, so your blood sugar won’t be too low.

• CHOOSE THE RIGHT SNACKS. A snack before working out is alright, just make sure it’s the right snack. Fresh fruit, energy bars or drinks, granola bars or even a fruit smoothie will quell your hunger and help you maintain proper blood sugar levels.

any adults have had the virtues of drinking enough water extolled on them since childhood. Though recommendations as to how much water a person should drink each day have fluctuated over the years, it’s still safe to say that drinking a significant amount of water every day is essential for your health.

Water keeps the body healthy in a number of ways.

But the body loses water in a number of ways as well, each of which is part of normal human function. For instance, a body loses water when a person breathes or sweats. The body must replace this lost fluid in order to stay healthy and avoid dehydration.

In addition to fending off dehydration, water helps the body flush out wastes and maintain a healthy body temperature while reducing the risk of developing kidney stones and more. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, water also helps lubricate and cushion joints and protects the spinal cord and other sensitive tissues.

• FIND SOMETHING TO EAT AFTER YOU EXERCISE. Eating after you exercise is also important. After working out, eating a meal with carbohydrates will promote muscle growth and recovery, restoring your fuel supplies that were lost during your workout.

• DON’T FORGET FLUIDS. Fluids are part of your diet as well, and they’re especially important when exercising.

The body needs water every day, but there are certain instances when the body will likely need more water than usual. If you spend a lot of time in especially hot climates, your body will need more water, just as it might during periods of physical activity.

Though many people feel drinking caffeinated beverages, including coffee and sodas, dehydrate the body, experts say moderate caffeine consumption won’t dehydrate the body. Overconsumption of

caffeinated beverages might prove problematic, but moderate consumption can provide the body with the fluids it needs without causing harm.

It’s best to consult a physician if you suspect you aren’t getting enough fluids. One such indicator is the color of your urine, which will be clear or pale yellow if your body is getting enough fluids. Urine that is dark yellow indicates the body needs more water. Constipation or hard bowel movements may also be the result of a body that isn’t getting enough fluids.

While it’s true there is such a thing as too much water, it is rare that a person drinks too much water. But even athletes who will be competing or exercising for more than an hour might want to choose a sports drink instead of just water to protect themselves and avoid an imbalance.

Many people find they don’t drink enough water by accident. One way to combat that is to bring a bottle of water with you wherever you go. Another way is to drink water throughout the day at your office, which also gives you an opportunity to get up and stretch your legs over the course of the day. If you find water especially bland, add a slice of lemon or lime to give it more flavor.

Drinking a sufficient amount of water each day helps the body function properly and fight off a host of ailments.

ared Nigussu knew he wanted to be an artist since childhood. As a young boy growing up in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, he was fascinated by art, and was constantly getting punished by his teachers for drawing on his desks and chairs at school. Art eventually became a passion he decided to pursue full-time.

He went on to study at the Addis Ababa University of Fine Arts and Design, where he graduated in 2005 with a major in painting. He was then awarded a scholarship to France where he taught art and participated in numerous exhibitions.

his mind is at peace.

“I can forget about everything around me, and what’s going on outside the studio, and just get a special moment to myself.”

Regardless of adversity, Yared has achieved success and in the future hopes to “create more opportunities for travel, make art and discover other realities.”

Yared currently has two galleries, one in Vancouver and another in Vienna.

His work has been exhibited in France,

Yared is best known for his large-scale paintings of men and women, using a colourful palette and blurred lines. His primary focus is on the intricacies of the human face, especially on the eyes, where he says he finds an “infinite source of inspiration.”

After moving to Vancouver, Canada, where he currently works, Yared became increasingly inspired by urban environments. He began creating dynamic cityscapes that exemplify the movement of city living.

Although Yared’s work reflects a sense of urgency, he claims it is the only time

• ADD LIGHTING: Lighting at different levels in the room can create a vibrant impact. Many homeowners mistakenly put in a couple of table lamps and think that will be adequate. However, properly illuminating a room means varying the lighting to create different moods at different times. Plus, more light can make a room feel more welcoming.

• ADD NEW PILLOWS OR DRAPES: Changing a few aspects of a room can give it an entirely new look. If you want to add a splash of color but don’t know what to do, think about incorporating some new throw pillows or change the curtains. An accessory here and there in a bright color can also incorporate a new hue without overwhelming the room.

Seven inexpensive ways to update a home O ftentimes, buying a home opens up a bottomless pit of opportunities for projects and improvements. While some homeowners engage in different repairs and fix-ups out of necessity, many others like to freshen-up their spaces out of personal preference. But even the most well-intentioned projects can be waylaid if budgets are tight.

What many homeowners may not realize is that

there are many ways to make updates and changes to a home that do not require a major overhaul or a large price tag. The following are seven projects that won’t break the bank:

• MOVE FURNITURE AROUND: You may be able to change the look of a room without spending any money. Interior designers know how to arrange furniture for maximum appeal, but the

• CHANGE KNOBS OR SMALL ACCENTS: Give a room a new look by focusing on the small details. Switch out cabinet knobs for something updated and modern. Take inventory of wall outlets and light switches and think about selecting new ones that coordinate with your home decor.

• USE PLANTS: Empty corners or spots you’re not certain how to fill may benefit from a plant. Plants are inexpensive ways to add instant color and visual appeal to a room.

Plus, having live plants can help improve indoor air by filtering out contaminants.

Continued from Page 35 • HANG NEW WALL ART: It may be time to look at your photos and artwork and make a few adjustments. Finding new prints to hang can instantly change a room’s ambience. And you needn’t spend a lot of money on professional photography, either. Grab your camera and take a few close-up shots of flowers or take in a landscape scene. Many of today’s home printers can produce professionalquality prints in minutes.

• TRY A NEW COAT OF PAINT: After you’ve exhausted other avenues,

choosing a new paint color may be the answer. Painting is one of the least expensive yet most dramatic methods of changing a home’s interior. With dozens of hues to choose from, and new apps that enable you to take snapshots of things in nature or in your life and match them up to a paint color, you will have scores of opportunities to explore fresh new colors for your home.

When you get inspired to make improvements to the home but fear how much it may take out of your wallet, consider inexpensive tricks that can induce a big “wow” factor.

that are found in the outermost layers of skin. Lack of blood flow also means lack of oxygen and nutrients reaching the skin to keep it healthy. Smoking also may damage collagen and elastin -- the fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. Furthermore, the tar in cigarette smoke can stain the skin, giving it a yellowish appearance.

PROTECT YOUR SKIN The most important thing you can do for your skin is to protect it from the sun. Using a sunscreen product and limiting time in the sun during the peak hours of the highest exposure to UV rays (between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.) are two steps that can dramatically reduce your risk of developing skin cancer.

MANAGE STRESS Too much stress can take its toll on your body. In addition to causing lack of sleep, which can make the skin look tired, stress can cause hormonal changes that lead to breakouts and even hives. Slow down your pace and take steps to reduce stress. The skin is the largest organ of the body, and, at times, it can seem invincible. However, skin is not immune to disease or other conditions, so men and women should emphasize skin care as part of their grooming routine.

BE GENTLE ON YOUR SKIN Tugging, rubbing and pulling on the skin can eventually lead to sagging and wrinkling. Select soft cleansing pads or washcloths for washing your face and body. Avoid harsh soaps that can strip the skin of essential oils, unless you have a condition that requires the use of such cleansers.

Gift cards for all occasions!

Sevenoaks SHOPPING CENTRE

ith so many tips and tricks associated with skin care, it can sometimes be confusing to discern the help from the hype. While there are many worthwhile products on the market, many others are ineffective and simply not worth the price tag. However, certain care suggestions are universal and can help keep skin in top form.

Heartbreak: A Fraser Valley glass-half-full story

I

n the wine world, the term heartbreak is usually reserved for its prima donna, Pinot Noir. Every once in a while, however, the term is appropriate elsewhere.

Vern Siemens of Mt. Lehman Winery has created a gold-medal-winning field blend of white grapes he’s named Heartbreak. Siemens calls it this because last year—a heartbreaking year in the Fraser Valley that was caused by the weather—he had to “resort to judicial sorting” in order to harvest grapes ripe enough for his wine.

The three dominant grapes in Heartbreak are Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Ehrenfelser, with a little Sauvignon Blanc and Epicure added. The wine is juicy and alive, with floral, tropical fruit and citrus notes on both the nose and palate. It’s very pretty, indeed.

Heartbreak is easy to drink and, because of its lower alcohol content and $20 price tag, won’t pound you in the head or wallet.

And here are three value-packed easy-tannin red wines worth keeping handy.

CASTILLO DE MONSÉRAN Spain/$9.99/12.5% ABV Made from Garnacha, this wine is fruity and perfect with Asian-inspired barbequed pork.

LUJURIA Spain/$ 9.98/13.5% ABV A blend of Monastrell and Merlot, serve this wine with Spanish tapas. You can even chill it down a bit to enjoy its red-berry and cherry flavours on the patio.

THREE WINDS SYRAH France/$13.99/13.5% ABV Typical Syrah flavours and aromas of red and black fruit and spice make this a good everyday red wine.

In Memoriam April 6, 1993 ~ Aug. 16, 2011

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again.

No farewell words were spoken no time to say goodbye you were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why.

My beautiful son you climbed the stairway to heaven on August 16th, 2011- so suddenly and tragically you were taken from us- I know you will always now be forever young, forever 18, forever in our hearts, forever not here, but yet everywhere. God bless you and keep you until we meet again. We miss you so very much - there are no words.

Mom, Dad, Robbie and Tony, and all of your devoted family and friends.

BRANSFORD, Barbara Louise September 18, 1938 - August 6, 2012 It is with deep regret and sorrow that we must say goodbye to our Mom. Barb was predeceased by her husband, Wilbert and her son, Mark.

She left to forever cherish her memory, her 3 children, Glen (Joanne), Carla (Ken) and Angie (Bob); as well as 9 grandchildren. The family gratefully acknowledges the staff at MSA Manor for the high quality of Mom’s care for the past few years.

A celebration of life service will be held at the Elks Hall in Mission (33336 2nd Ave.) on Saturday, August 18, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Western Institute for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, 2125 West 7th Avenue, Vancouver, BC.

Anna passed away suddenly Saturday, August 4th, 2012 with her loving family by her side. Born in Denzil, SK, predeceased by husband Gerald; sons John and Jamie; parents John and Regina; in-laws Ethel and Leslie; sisters Margaret (Walter) and Betty; brothers John and Tony.

Anna is survived and lovingly remembered by son Darrell (Nikki); sisters Madeline (Albert/Bud) and Jeany (Alphonse); brother Valie (Elsie); grandchildren Christina and Clifford; and many special nieces and nephews, family members and friends. Anna will be remembered as a very special Sister, Aunt, and friend, whose dinners and treats were known throughout western Canada. We send our generous thanks for unwavering support, compassion and care to RMH Doctors: Hargreaves, Chung, Tsui, Sergeeva, Auersperg, and RMH staff; Dr. Yee (VGH), Dr. Chung (RCH), Dr. Ervin.

Special thanks to Sue and Fiona at MR Seniors Village. A Memorial service will be held Saturday, August 25th at 2 p.m. at First Memorial Burkeview Chapel, 1340 Dominion Ave. Port Coquitlam, BC.

GROWING OLD HAPPENS : Q&A SLOGGETT Frederick Thomas â&#x20AC;&#x153;Budâ&#x20AC;?

Bud succumbed to a stroke at 78 years of age on July 31, 2012 at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital. He is survived by his wife Grace (nee Olson), four sons Tom, Kevin (Laurie), Mark and Jeff (Bonnie), sisters Shirley Lowes (Clive), Margaret Simpson and Dianne Robertson (Robert), brother Dan (Dianna), grandsons Trevor Johnston, James Sloggett and Brandon Sloggett.

His parents Fred and Marie and his sister Carol predeceased him. Bud was born July 3, 1934 at the Macey home on the Fraser Highway near Bradner Road (now Pacific Pallet). The community of Brander was his lifelong home. He requested that no service be held. The family extends special thanks to the ARH Emergency Department and the nurses of Baker 2.

Thank you Dad for setting an example.

Question: How is independent living any different than living in my condo?

Answer: The main difference is that you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone. Even though you have your own private apartment, you do join the rest of the residents for meals. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll gain new friendships and a sense of conÂżdence that everyone is looking out for each other in a healthy and helpful way.

Leased office space in Abbotsford, B.C. Farm Credit Canada (FCC), invites Expressions of Interest from anyone interested in leasing office space to FCC. All proposals must meet the following criteria: 1. Approximately 10,000 usable square feet within one building, offering the entire space on one floor.

Preference will be given to space with high visibility that provides for illuminated exterior signage.

Thirty-five staff parking and four customer parking spaces are required.

2. The office space must be located in Abbotsford, B.C. 3. The building must be accessible to FCC on a 24-hour basis. Heating, cooling and lighting must be available at all times and under the control of FCC. 4. The physical characteristics of the building and surrounding area, including the use of land in the neighbouring area, must be compatible with FCC’s intended use as a business office. Build-to-suit options are also considered.

5. The landlord or builder must ensure that Telus can provide wide-area network (WAN) service for computers to the property. FCC may deploy a fibre or copper-based WAN service and it is the landlord’s or builder’s responsibility to ensure that proper service can be delivered. FCC may require written notice of service delivery from the WAN provider.

6. The space must be available for tenant fixturing no later than May 1, 2013, with a move-in date of September 30, 2013. The term of the lease is negotiable but FCC will require a five-year term, plus an option to extend the lease for at least one additional term of five years.

7. Evening cleaning service must be included in the lease.

This is only an inquiry as to the availability of the space to lease, and FCC will not necessarily invite offers or lease any of the said space. FCC reserves the right to invite offers for this or similar projects, from any of the interested Lessors, any other Lessor, or by way of public tender.
