Gun used in robberies Similar suspect description in two hold-ups
Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
Video image of robbery suspect.
Two robberies in the Abbotsford area might be connected. A bank in the 32100 block of South Fraser Way was robbed just after 11:30 a.m. Saturday by a man carrying a black bag and a gun. The man walked to the teller, demanded cash, and left quickly after receiving it. He is described as Caucasian, 30 to 40 years old, 5’ 9” with a
stocky build and scruffy facial hair. The man was wearing glasses, a bright yellow baseball cap, a dark hoodie and light jeans. On Sunday, May 26, a suspect fitting a similar description, and wielding a gun, robbed a liquor store in the 1900 block of North Parallel Road. The man was captured on surveillance video in both incidents. While not confirmed 100 per cent, Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said the MO, physical
descriptions and clothing are all similar, and forensic identification unit members and major crime detectives are investigating the possible connection. “He seems to have an awareness of where the security cameras are, because he looks straight at them,” said MacDonald. Anyone with information is asked to call the Abbotsford Police at 604-859-5225, text abbypd (222973) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Neighbours of suspect want eviction Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
A man has been charged following an incident last Thursday in Abbotsford where another man was forced into a bank under orders to withdraw cash. At about 3:30 p.m., a 34-year-old man was robbed, knocked unconscious and forced into a vehicle with his girlfriend. They were then driven to a bank in the 32900 block of South Fraser Way by another man and woman. The victim was told to withdraw cash, but was able to alert the teller to the situation, and the bank called police. At 5:45 p.m., Abbotsford Police patrol officers, with members of the emergency response team and the major crime unit, raided a home on Peardonville Road west of Parkview, where a 39-year-old man and his girlfriend were located. The man was arrested and others in the home were questioned.

She said the situation has been alarming to her and her children, who are 10 and 12 years old. “They’re scared. They don’t even want to play in the backyard anymore.” Black said although she wants to teach her children to respect others, she has had to explain to them that the people next door “aren’t good people.” She believes there are drugs going in and out of the house and is worried that the presence of those neighbours will make it difficult for the family to eventually sell their home.

Walmart evacuated Sunday Forklift hits sprinkler pipe
Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
Walmart is open for business – again. The new store at the Highstreet Shopping Centre on Mt. Lehman Road was evacuated early Sunday morning after Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service members responded to a sprinkler alarm. When they arrived, the crew found a broken sprinkler line and detected a strong smell of gas. Fearing a gas leak, firefighters shut down power, gas and water service, and evacuated all personnel from the facility. They also ventilated the area. But no gas leak was found. “To be cautious, we treated it initially as a gas leak, but further identified that it wasn’t,” explained Deputy Fire Chief Mike Helmer on Monday morning. Two lines were broken – a sprinkler line
and an HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) line. The lines were struck by a forklift being operated at Walmart. Helmer said the initial smell of gas was likely caused when the sprinkler line was broken. He explained that when sprinkler piping is installed, oil is used for the fittings. He believes the smell was caused by the residue in the pipes. “It’s a petroleum-based type of odour.” While there was water damage caused by the leak, Walmart was open again just over four hours later. Tanya Curtis, marketing director at Highstreet, said there was minimal disruption for Walmart customers. The other current tenants, London Drugs, Marshalls and Bouclair Home, are also open for business as usual.

We’ll help you decide. er, trained orthodontists can understand important forecasting clues, evaluate jaw alignment and tooth spacing. When a child is still young – teeth are still developing and the jaws are growing - these factors are huge advantages for us orthodontists. We can guide growth and use it in our favour to correct many of the problems we treat on a daily basis. Did you know that both, the Canadian Association and American Association of Orthodontists suggest the rst visit to an orthodontist should be completed by no later than age seven? You may be wondering what is so signicant about the age of seven. Well, the reason is simple – there are certain scenarios that need to be corrected early on in order to prevent major problems in the future, like surgery or extractions. Orthodontic decisions made when your child is seven years old are really planning steps for what teeth will look like when they are 30, 40, or 50 years old.
It is well noted that prevention is the best medicine. This theory holds true for orthodontics, especially regarding children and braces. Early orthodontic consultations and treatments should be viewed as proactive windows of opportunities that help to ease the discomfort associated with braces. Typically, parents ask, “Do you think my child will need braces and at what age should we go to the orthodontist?”
Early treatment is about preventing problems and working with the jaws and permanent teeth, and guiding them into position as they develop. Here are seven quick reasons why early orthodontic consultation and treatment is imperative. 1) Avoid surgery and extractions 2) Easier treatment 3) Shorter treatment 4) Possibly cheaper treatment 5) Complimentary consultations 6) Complimentary regular monitoring 7) No referral necessary
Overall, it is difficult to know for sure if your child will need orthodontic treatment until his or her permanent teeth begin to show. Howev-

Local residents had an opportunity to confront Kinder Morgan and the Fraser Valley Regional District regarding the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project Tuesday night. Members of Pipe Up Network, Lynn Perrin and Michael Hale, were finally granted delegation seats at the FVRD board meeting, allowing them 10 minutes to present their concerns. Perrin, an Abbotsford resident, was previously refused a delegation seat, on the grounds that an agreement with Kinder Morgan to survey the Cheam Lake Wetlands had already been signed. Kinder Morgan is currently studying
the wetlands, located near Rosedale north of Hwy. 1, to determine the path of the pipeline twinning. The company has several routing alternatives for the area, including diverting the line through the south side of the highway. “We have a couple of options there. We haven’t landed on a decision – we’re working through that,� said Kinder Morgan representative Greg Toth, who had 20 minutes to speak about the project at Tuesday’s meeting. The ecologically sensitive wetlands are of special concern to the Fraser Valley. Bitumen from a spill may sink, complicating cleanup. “Can we risk a spill in the Cheam Lakes Wetlands? The natu-
ral values and ecosystem services provided by these wetlands are unique in this part of the Lower Mainland,� said Hale. There hasn’t been a serious spill in the area since the laying of the pipeline, according to Bill Dickey, FVRD director for the area. “People in our community have seen the pipeline in place for 60 years...and we’ve had really no incidents to speak of there. But we were under the assumption that any expansion would be contained within the existing right of way,� he said. Since the original pipeline was built, the region has experienced major physical changes, including the construction of the Coquihalla Highway. This war-
rants a re-evaluation of the route, said Toth. Elsewhere in the Fraser Valley, the routing of the expanded pipeline mostly follows the existing line. The risks and consequences of a spill were fresh on the mind of Abbotsford city councillor and FVRD director Bill MacGregor, who brought up Kinder Morgan’s 110,000-litre spill on Sumas Mountain on Jan. 24, 2012. At that time, the company said the spill was entirely contained, while residents complained of headaches and other health side effects. “In the Sumas Mountain area where I reside, we’ve already had a couple of alarming incidents up on the mountain in the past few years with Kinder Morgan, and their track record is not that good,� MacGregor said. He remained opposed to the twinning, and supported Pipe Up’s recommendation for FVRD to evaluate the project. “I think we’re in for a war,� he said. At the meeting, Kinder Morgan maintained that its monitoring and response technology is top-ofthe-line. This includes such measures as corrosion control through pipeline coating, remote sensors to detect cracks and temperature, a 24-hour control centre in Edmonton, a database on natural hazards such as stream crossings, and regular physical inspections and patrols. This was the first board meeting at which FVRD allowed significant time to members of the public to present their concerns about the twinning of the pipeline. Pipe Up wants to see FVRD create an independent committee to assess the risk of sending more bitumen through the Cheam Lake Wetlands, as well as consult with the public on the matter. Kinder Morgan has submitted a project description to the NEB last week, signalling intent to file an application in late 2013.

Despite the gripes, life is good here Mark
Rushton On the
Other Hand After spending the past two weeks of May bemoaning the weather, the incessant rain causing my lawn to grow to unprecedented heights, the horrendous conditions in other parts of the continent were a reality check. For example, the devastating storms in Oklahoma’s “tornado alley” – the latest group killing 13, including a mother and infant literally sucked out of their car while trying to escape. Enormous wildfires are ravaging the Los Angeles mountains, destroying lands, homes, and threatening lives. Yet here on the soggy west coast the only vexatious threat is not having an immaculate lawn. Not that my lawn is anything special … horses walk all over it, my truck is driven on it indiscriminately … but it annoys me to no end when the grass is long and
unkempt. Contributing to my frustration is that I agreed to take care of a friend’s lawn during his absence, feeling compelled to maintain his property during the very occasional breaks in the rain, instead of my own. Finally, on Sunday the sunshine cooperated, and his two acres of grass, grown tall during the past 10 days, was “swathed.” It looked good, but the mass of clippings needed to be picked up, so I went home, threw my large sweeper into the pickup, returned and a couple of hours later had the place looking park-like. Back into the truck went the sweeper, down to the gas station to refuel the jerry cans and home I went. Unfortunately, a kilometre or two from the house I forgot about the sweeper and its large grass catcher. Powering up the hill, and in a hurry to get back to my own chores, I pushed the truck a little too fast, creating it seems, a tornado of my own. Out of the truck box went the sweeper unit, bits of it scattered over the busy street. Additionally, it flew out next to three
golfers who were wheeling their carts home along the sidewalk. Bit embarrassing, that. However, still a little wide-eyed from my unintended performance, they helped me reload the rig and following profuse thanks to disguise my dismay,
It is both remarkable and wonderful that wild animals can share, and flourish, in our neighbourhoods. the journey was resumed – albeit at a slower pace. Which was fortunate because, only seconds later, I saw sauntering across an open space, an enormous bobcat. As big as my Standard poodle, this gorgeous red and gold wildcat was oblivious to passing vehicles and seemingly unconcerned with human presence in an adjacent subdivision or the gated community across the street. Rare it is to see a bobcat during the

day; rarer still to see one in such close proximity to residential areas. Then again, perhaps the domestic cat population is such that the living is easy for an opportunistic hunter. Regardless, it is both remarkable and wonderful that wild animals can share, and flourish, in our neighbourhoods. In fact, not only does it appear wildlife continues to do well here, but if my guess is correct, non-indigenous species are moving into our area. I’m convinced that a deer that was about to jump my gate, then due to my dog’s bark leapt instead over the neighbour’s field fence, was a whitetail. Normally native to the southern interior of the province, over the years it has constantly expanded its range. I’ve heard stories in years past that whitetails had moved into the Fraser Valley near Hope. It seems from my brief encounter, they may now be in Abbotsford, adding yet another member to the cornucopia of life that our safe and lush climate provides.

Former prison guard fights firing of the Fraser Valley
Balkar Basra convicted of sex assault in 2008
Vikki HOPES
Abbotsford News
A former warden at Matsqui Institution in Abbotsford said he had “significant trust issues” with a correctional officer who was suspended – and later fired – after it was revealed he had been charged with sexual assault. Glen Brown was questioned Wednesday during a Public Service Labour Relations Board (PSLRB) hearing in Abbotsford for Balkar Singh Basra, 34, who filed a grievance over his June 2009 job termination. Basra was represented by James Baugh, a lawyer with the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers. Basra was initially looking to be returned to his job, but is instead seeking other options, such as compensation for lost wages. Basra had been a prison guard at Matsqui Institution for seven years when he was charged with sexual assault in 2006 following an investigation that began two years earlier. He was suspended indefinitely without pay at the time. Brown, the warden at the time, said during Wednesday’s hearing that he had “trust issues” with Basra after being informed of the criminal charges. “… Mr. Basra (was) the person identified through the court process … as a person alleged to have committed a sexual assault and who (had) not been forthright with his employer in bringing forth those concerns.”
S I G N M E U P !
Basra was convicted of the assault and was sentenced to two years less a day in prison. He began serving the term in January 2010 after his appeal was denied. Court documents indicate that the assault occurred in 2004, after Basra met up with a 21-year-old woman he had met on the Internet. The two went to a nightclub, and the woman testified that she awoke the next morning naked in Basra’s bed with no memory of how she got there. She went to the hospital and a medical exam showed she was covered in bruises, including a bite mark, and there was other evidence that she had been raped by Basra. The judge concluded that Basra had given her a date-rape drug and then sexually assaulted her. An adjudicator with the PSLRB ruled in 2007 – before the trial – that the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) erred in suspending Basra without pay, in part because they had failed to contact him to obtain his side of the story. He was awarded back pay and full benefits for the period of his suspension, and then returned to work in the admissions and discharge area. The Federal Court quashed the decision and Basra was again suspended in 2008. He was convicted of the sexual assault in July of that year, and terminated from his job the following June.

Loughlin’s late try lifts Lions to bronze at rugby B.C.’s
Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
With the clock ticking down in the B.C. AAA boys rugby bronze medal game, the Yale Lions were poised to absorb yet another crushing loss at the hands of their arch-rivals, the Earl Marriott Mariners. The South Surrey squad, which had upset the Lions in the Fraser Valley
title game two weeks prior, had surged ahead 11-10 on a Thomas Choi try with six minutes to go at Rotary Stadium. But the Yaleans found some late magic from their captain, Spencer Loughlin, who took a backhand flip from scrum half Jason Hignell, made a quick juke to his left, found a hole and sprinted through the
Mariners’ defence to touch the ball down under the posts. That try, followed by Daniel Davidson’s convert, gave the Lions a 17-11 lead with just under three minutes left, and they hung on to clinch the first AAA provincial medal in team history. “It’s the best finish by any Abbotsford school in the last 18

mances that fell just short of the Final Four. The T-Wolves dropped a heartbreaking 13-12 decision on Wednesday in the AAA quarter-finals to Marriott, who won on a last-second drop goal. Bateman ended up seventh, wrapping up the tourney with a dominant 45-12 win over Oak Bay. In the AA draw, Hansen lost to 41-17 to eventual champion Collingwood in the quarters, though they were within four points in the second half. They too wound up seventh, thumping G.W. Graham of Chilliwack 26-7 on Saturday. Yale’s Loughlin, Bateman’s Cole Brien and Hansen’s Arsh Gill were named to the Commissioner’s 15 all-star teams.

I’m real proud of them.� Loughlin’s winning try was his second of the game, and Jimmy Ahn had the other Yale try. “I was so tired, but so happy,� said Loughlin, reflecting on his clutch play. “Obviously they were our biggest rival this year, so getting back at them, winning the final game, feels fantastic.� The other two Abby teams at provincials, the Robert Bateman Timberwolves and Rick Hansen Hurricanes, both put together solid perfor-

Siemens superb in provincial finale Thompson, Grewal also climb podium Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
Heading into the final meet of her high school track and field career, “Faith over fear” was Alex Siemens’s mantra. The W.J. Mouat Hawks’ Grade 12 runner has struggled at times with the weight of expectation – both from others, and from herself – since bursting onto the scene as a precocious Grade 9 star in 2009-10. Siemens won the B.C. cross-country title and took bronze in the 3000 metres at track provincials that season, but hadn’t climbed the podium at a provincial high school meet since then, as she battled injuries and grappled with nerves. The 17-year-old rectified that situation in a big way at Langley’s McLeod Athletic Park on the weekend, winning a trio of medals – silver in the 3000m (10:01.11), bronze in the 1500m (4:38.71), and silver with the Mouat 4x400m relay team (4:05.43) which also featured Callum Pilgrim, Hailey Gibson and Amanda Thompson. “I think before this season, I had so much going on mentally, just doubting myself,” Siemens said. “This year, before every race, I was like, ‘Faith over fear, faith over fear.’ I was trusting that God’s going to get me through it, and I was just going to run for his glory. “I had a couple of hard seasons, and finally I’m feeling like Alex again. It was a lot of fun, and I’m glad I’m ending it off like this.” Siemens was one of three Abbotsford athletes to earn an individual medal at senior track provincials. Her Mouat relay teammate Thompson turned in a terrific showing in the javelin, registering a throw of 40.69 metres. The performance was all the more impressive considering Thompson is a basketball player first and foremost – she was MVP as Mouat won the junior girls provincial title in March – and is a relative newcomer to javelin. “I’m athletic and I play baseball too, so my coach was like, ‘Hey, you should try

throwing javelin,’” Thompson said. “I tried it last year for the first time, and this
year I got a little bit more serious with it.” Remarkably, all three girls jav-
elin medallists – Teagan Rasche of Riverside Secondary, Brittni Wolczyk of Archbishop Carney, and Thompson – are in Grade 10. “I’ve got a lot of competition,” noted Thompson, whose best throw was within three metres of gold medallist Rasche. “I just need to work on my technique some more. The other girls, they’ve been working on it way longer.” Manpreet Grewal of Abbotsford Senior finished third in the hammer throw, posting a best toss of 46.31 metres, and added a fifth-place finish in the discus (34.76m). “I was a little off of my personal best, but I was pretty happy with it, because I made the podium for the first time,” said Grewal, 17. “I’m still in Grade 11, so I’ve got one more year to go, and I’ll be trying for the gold next year.” Q For more coverage of track and field provincials, including a photo slideshow, visit abbynews.com.

The Abbotsford Cardinals won three of four games on the road this past weekend to solidify their grip on fourth place in the B.C. Premier Baseball League standings. The Cards (14-8) swept the Parksville Royals by scores of 5-1 and 7-2 Saturday, and blasted the Nanaimo Pirates 7-1 in the front end of Sunday’s doubleheader.
A win in the second game of the day would have moved Abby into a second-place tie with the North Shore Twins, but the Pirates prevailed 6-2. The Cards hit the road to face the Coquitlam Reds in a doubleheader on Thursday, and their next home game is Wednesday, June 12 vs. the Vancouver Cannons (7 p.m., DeLair Park).

Making the transition easier TAKE STEPS TO ENSURE SENIORS ARE COMFORTABLE WITH NEW SURROUNDINGS
M
any older seniors find the transition to a nursing home somewhat difficult.
Seniors tend to see the move to a nursing home as a step toward surrendering their independence, and this can be a difficult hurdle for them and their loved ones to overcome. Adding to the difficulty is the fact that many people move into nursing homes because their physical or mental status requires the help of a professional nursing staff, leaving family members with little to no recourse when aging relatives protest the move. But there are ways to ease a loved one’s transition into a nursing home. KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE. The stress of moving an aging relative into a nursing home can be significant for everyone involved. But focusing on the positives of nursing homes, such as around-the-clock care and daily activities, can help aging relatives look at nursing homes in a new light.
PLAN TRIPS WITH YOUR LOVED ONE. Just because an aging relative lives in a nursing home does not mean he or she can no longer travel. If a relative is healthy enough to travel, include them on family trips and outings. This includes more routine events like weekly Sunday dinners, kids’ sporting events and other extracurricular activities. The more involved your aging relatives are in the daily life of your family, the more likely they are to see the advantages of living in a nursing home. ENCOURAGE YOUR LOVED ONES TO TAKE SOME PERSONAL ITEMS WITH THEM. When moving into a nursing home, seniors must leave behind many of their possessions. This is a simple space issue, as the rooms in a typical nursing home cannot accommodate a life’s worth of keepsakes and possessions. But that doesn’t mean seniors have to leave everything behind. Encourage your loved
one to bring along some possessions, such as his or her family photos, a favourite chair or smaller mementos from places he or she visited throughout his or her life. Such items can make a nursing home seem less antiseptic and more like a home. SET UP AN E-MAIL ACCOUNT FOR YOUR LOVED ONE. If your loved one still has his or her mental health, then set them up with an e-mail account. This will allow your loved one to maintain daily contact with family and friends. Many of today’s nursing homes provide facilities where residents can access the internet. If not, speak to the staff and ask if your relative can bring his or her own computer. If your relative will be able to routinely access the internet, show them how to browse informative sites like www.abbynews.com, and how to keep up with current events and activities.
In addition, family members who familiarize themselves with nursing homes will begin to see they are often great places for aging relatives to socialize with others their age while receiving the care and attention they need. When discussing the move to a nursing home, focus on these positives and your relative will be more likely to follow your lead. CHOOSE A NURSING HOME THAT’S CLOSE TO HOME. One of the more difficult parts of transitioning to a nursing home is the notion that seniors are leaving their lives behind once they move into a home. Choosing a nursing home that’s close to home makes routine visits from friends and relatives possible and enables seniors to maintain a connection to their current lifestyle. A home that is miles and miles away from a person’s support system can foster feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Hearing aids for any lifestyle
F
or nearly 40 million North Americans, hearing loss is part of life. Most frequently, it results from repeat exposure to loud noises — like at concerts, nightclubs, sporting events, crowded restaurants, loud workplaces, and so on. In many ways, hearing loss is the unintended byproduct of life fully lived — that is, before we knew better about how to protect our hearing in such noisy environments. But when ignored and left unaddressed, hearing loss robs from life. It isolates. It debilitates. And it diminishes quality of life. It even takes a toll on fiscal wellbeing by cutting into earnings potential. Perhaps most notably, unaddressed hearing loss creates barriers and unnecessarily strains on even the best of relationships. But it doesn’t have to. The overwhelming majority of people with hearing loss can benefit from hearing aids. Eight out of 10 hearing aid users say they’re satisfied with
the changes that have occurred in their lives specifically due to their hearing aids. From how they feel about themselves to the positive changes they see in their relationships, social interactions and work lives, hearing aid users benefit from today’s technology. When people with even mild hearing loss use hearing aids, they often improve their job performance; enhance their communication skills; increase their earnings potential; improve their professional and interpersonal relationships; stave off depression; gain an enhanced sense of control over their lives; and better their quality of life. High-performance technology and style have merged with durability and ease-of-use when it comes to today’s hearing aids. The options are so varied there is an attractive solution for just about anyone. Information supplied by Larry Nickel, Hearing Instrument Practitioner of B.C.

A personalized Precision Equilibrated Denture is made to suit each person’s individual looks and needs using additional measurements of your face and jaw. Precision dentures restore confidence and provide optimum function while eating, speaking or laughing.
Precision denture teeth reflect light through several layers mimicking natural teeth and giving a lifelike appearance.

hen the nest is empty and the kids no longer need financial support, many men and women find themselves with extra money in their budget. Fewer mouths to feed and no more college tuition bills can give parents a sense of financial freedom they may not have had since before starting their family. But that freedom can also lead to overspending, something that can put retirement in jeopardy if people are not careful. Though it’s understandable to want to splurge on a well-deserved getaway once the kids have finally left
the house, it’s important for adults to ensure that such splurging does not become routine. The following are a few ways families with newfound disposable income can avoid overspending and putting themselves in financial hot water as they get closer to retirement. Pay with cash whenever possible. Swiping a debit card or credit card is certainly a convenient way to shop, but it can also be dangerous. Many people find it difficult to keep track of their spending when they use debit cards or credit cards to make their purchases. Continued on page 19

Using cash to make purchases, especially daily purchases like a morning cup of coffee, reduces the likelihood of overspending. This can help you get a better idea of how much money you’re spending and if there are any steps you can take to curtail it. Keep a financial journal. Adapt to having newfound disposable income maybe different when you were young, learning to manage money when you first start working. Some of those lessons, like saving more than you spend, might need to be relearned. Write down the monthly expenses you know you have each month, such as a mortgage or a car payment, and each and every purchase you make, including how much you spend on dining out each month. Do this for at least a couple of months. When you have logged several months’ activity, examine your journal to see if there are any expenses that can be trimmed to save
money. Once your last child has left the nest, the temptation to reward yourself with a luxury item or two might prove overwhelming. After all, raising a family and paying for college tuition has no doubt required substantial sacrifice on your part, so it’s well within reason that you want to reward yourself after all these years. Avoid overdoing it so your finances aren’t stretched too thinly. A vacation with your spouse is reasonable, but buying a villa overseas might be a little over the top. Luxuries can be nice, but they can also drain a budget. Your monthly expenses once the kids have moved out should be lower, so if you find your cost of living has increased now that your nest is empty, you might be forced to determine which of your expenses are luxuries and which are necessities.

Gallery 7 presents comical adventure The Foreigner Gallery 7 Theatre is presenting Larry Shue’s hilarious comedy, The Foreigner, opening on June 7. The Foreigner is considered to be one of the most-performed and most-loved modern comedies. “With summer just around the corner, it seems only fitting we celebrate the arrival of this long-awaited season with a comedy,” said Gallery 7 Theatre’s executive/artistic director, Ken Hildebrandt. “The Foreigner is pure fun, filled with adventure, intrigue, and even a touch of romance. And for those looking for a little spiritual and intellectual nourishment, there are a few food-for-thought things sprinkled in as well about relationships, self-actualization, racism and truth
vs. lies.” The story goes like this: Charlie, a pathologically shy person, is a little down on his luck of late. His best friend Froggy, a munitions expert in the British Army, treats Charlie to a vacation at a small fishing lodge in rural Georgia. To help his introverted friend, Froggy announces to all that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and can’t speak a lick of English. As Charlie listens in on sinister plots and scandalous revelations, he unwittingly becomes the catalyst to righting what has been wronged. Playing the demure Charlie is Andrew Abrahams. Abrahams has appeared on the Gallery 7 stage numerous times in such shows as Peter Pan, The Matchmaker and
Robinson Crusoe. Playing the role of Betty Meeks is Shelley Picard, who last performed in the company’s production of The Fantasticks. Directing is Carrissa Boynton, whose credits at Gallery 7 Theatre include Robinson Crusoe and Tuesdays with Morrie. The Foreigner runs June 7-8, 13-15 and 22-23 at 7:30 p.m. with additional discount matinees on June 8, 15 and 23 at 2 p.m. All shows take place in the MEI Auditorium, 4081 Clearbrook Rd. in Abbotsford. Tickets can be purchased at the House of James, 2743 Emerson St. in Abbotsford or by calling 604-852-3701 or 1-800-665-8828. For tickets or information visit gallery7theatre.com.

Sod-turning for Habitat home Habitat for Humanity Upper Fraser Valley recently celebrated the sod-turning of its latest home. The house is located at 34608 Farmer Rd. and will be built in partnership with the Fonseca family, who were selected for the residence from among several applicants. Joining the family at the sod-turning were Coun. Henry Braun, Mayor Bruce Banman, former MLA John van Dongen, and Doug Rempel, executive director of the organization. Families selected for a Habitat home pay an interest-free loan and never pay more than 30 per cent of their total family income for their housing. They must also provide more than 500 “sweat equity” hours in building the home. Habitat for Humanity, a not-for-profit organization, has paid for the property and has raised more than $50,000 in materials. Much of the funds has come from proceeds of the ReStore – located at #12 34220 South Fraser Way – which sells new and used building supplies, home decor and furniture. Ken Friesen Construction has offered to

LOOK WHO’S HERE! Specialized financial advice to help your FARM succeed
Three new reports released by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada are showing a positive outlook for farmers in 2013. “The forecast for 2012 reflects that farm incomes are once again at an all-time high,” said Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. “The outlook shows that global demand for agricultural commodities will be driven by growth in developing economies, which is why our government continues to place such a strong emphasis on opening new and maintaining existing markets.” The three reports, the Farm Income Forecast for 2012 and 2013, the Medium Term Outlook, and the Farm Income, Financial Conditions and Government Assistance Data Book 2012, provide an overview of the financial and market outlook for

MAKE YARD WORK
While performance varies by sector, the average net operating income for Canadian farms is expected to reach a new record of $74,190 in 2012, 17 per cent greater than the 2011 level and 50 per cent above the 2007–11 average. The net worth of an average farm is forecast to grow by 8 per cent in 2012 to reach $1.8 million. The average total income of farm families, which includes family income from all farm and non-farm sources, is projected to reach $127,106 in 2012, 8 per cent above 2011 levels. Over the medium term, strong global demand, particularly from major emerging economies, will underpin continued strong prices and growth for the sector.

After a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s, the Lord called our beloved Father, Opa, and brother home to be with Him at the age of 76. He is predeceased by his wife Rita (2012), and is survived by his children; Christina (Terence), Tim (Edna), his grandchildren Hanna, Kristen, Lucas, Mattias, and Elliott, and 10 brothers and sisters. Henry was born in Sneek, The Netherlands, and was the second oldest of 11 siblings. He immigrated with his family to Canada in 1952, and later moved to British Columbia as he had met Rita, the love of his life, through a Christian dating service. They were married January 05, 1973 and had 39 blessed years together. The man before Alzheimer’s took hold, was very tall with a twinkle in his eye. He had big hands, a big laugh, and a big heart, and always putting others needs in front of his own. He loved the outdoors, camping, hiking, reading, traveling, gardening, pruning, and spending time with family, particularly his grandchildren! He loved his family greatly, and was a very devoted brother, husband, father, and Opa. His lasting legacy is his faith in his Lord and service to others. While a piece of our hearts is broken, we are at peace knowing that he has been freed from his earthly body, and we will miss him tremendously. A celebration of Henry’s life will be held at Immanuel Covenant Reformed Church 35063 Page Road, Wednesday June 05, 2013 at 1:00pm. Donations made the Alzheimer’s Society are appreciated.

Phillips, Betty It is with a profound sense of loss that we announce the passing of Betty Phillips (nee Ratzlaff) at the age of 70, having succumbed to cancer. She was a gentle, loving and caring person who brightened the lives of those around her. A teacher and a counsellor in the Abbotsford School District for many years, she influenced the lives of many, many children. She leaves behind a loving husband of 46 years, Murray; three children: Christine PhillipsHing (Martin); James Phillips (Inga) and Jonathan Phillips (Kerri). She was a devoted grandmother of seven: Brock, Grant, Marin, Tessa, Jaida, Hazel, and Ruby. She is survived by three brothers: Harold (Viola), Eric (Katie), and George (Jenny) as well as numerous nephews and nieces. Betty had a resilient faith and a gracious spirit that encouraged so many. Her memorial service will be held at White Rock Baptist Church, 1657 140 St Surrey, Thursday, June 6 at 2 pm. We are deeply grateful for the care of her doctors: at Vancouver General Hospital the medical staff led by Dr. Scudamore and Dr. Yoshida and in Langley, Dr. Hansen and Dr. Adamson; as well as the devoted and loving care of the staff at Langley Hospice. In lieu of flowers please send donations to Langley Hospice Society. Online condolences to the family may be made at www.woodlawnfh-abbotsford.com
