Chemistry whiz heading for Moscow Yale’s Ji Sup Kim will represent Canada at International Olympiad Vikki HOPES
Canada and advanced to the national competition, held June 3-10 at the University of Toronto. That stage included two written exams and three laboratory tests, and Kim was among four competitors selected for the international level. The other three participants are all from Ontario. Canada is among 75 countries being represented at the ICO, running from July 15 to 24. Competitors vie for gold, silver and bronze medals in written exams and laboratory tests. Kim has been preparing for the challenge by sitting in on organic chemistry classes at University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), and polishing his skills in science labs at both UFV and Yale. Smith said Kim is up to the challenge. He completed four first-year-university science courses last

When Ji Sup Kim was in middle school in Abbotsford, his father – a pharmacist in Korea – would send him chemistry problems to solve. Kim, now 18, enjoyed the challenge and found it fun. That early practice fostered a remarkable aptitude for chemistry and other science-related courses, culminating in Kim’s acceptance to a prestigious international competition. Kim, a graduating Yale Secondary student, is among four young Canadians who have been selected for the national team competing at the 45th International Chemistry Olympiad (ICO) in Moscow, Russia next month. He is only the sixth Yale Secondary student to make it to that level since 1992. “It’s pretty significant. It’s very difficult,� said

in February 2012 of conspiracy to traffic cocaine, following a 2009 undercover operation in Abbotsford by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit. The operation involved the use of a police agent who negotiated with Bacon, using Scott as the middleman, to purchase 100 kg of cocaine purportedly being smuggled from Mexico. Arrangements had been made for the purchase of the first 10 kg for $30,000, with the remainder to be bought 10 kg at a time until it was gone. The operation was halted by police before any money or drugs changed hands. At Bacon’s sentencing hearing in May 2012, the Crown sought a jail term of 18 to 21 years. Scott, the maternal grandfather of Bacon’s child, was sentenced in September 2012. Crown had originally recommended a jail term of 13 to 15 years, but lowered that to eight to 10 years after Bacon was sentenced.

year and another four this year. He was the school’s first Grade 11 student to advance to the ICO and the only student of any grade to do it in physics. But Kim chose not to attend in 2012, preferring to wait until this year for a chance to advance in the chemistry competition. “He is innovative in problem-solving, He’ll approach problems in unusual ways. He’s a conceptual thinker ‌ He’s exceptional, for sure,â€? Smith said. Kim said he is most excited to go to the ICO for the experience; winning a medal would be a bonus. Outside of school, he is active with the Hurricane Nanta Korean Drumming Team in Abbotsford. In the fall, Kim begins his studies in life science at the University of Toronto, although he is not yet sure what he wants to do for a career.
The Crown’s appeal in the 12-year sentence handed to Jarrod Bacon for drug conspiracy was heard Friday in Vancouver, as was Bacon’s cross appeal. The Crown is seeking a longer jail term for Bacon, as well as for his coaccused Wayne Scott, who received three and a half years in prison. Bacon has launched his own appeal, seeking a reduced sentence. All arguments were heard before a three-member panel of the B.C. Court of Appeal, and a decision in the matter has been reserved. The notice of appeal filed by the Crown stated that the sentence for Bacon was unfit, “considering the seriousness of the offence, the aggravating features and the offender’s degree of responsibility.� The judge failed to give enough consideration to the principles of denunciation and deterrence, the documents state. Bacon and Scott were convicted

Whitish-blue mist seen drifting towards recycling depot Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Employees at the Matsqui Transfer Station on Valley Road and the nearby recycling depot were evacuated on Tuesday afternoon after a hazardous material was emitted during compacting. Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service was called to the scene at about 1 p.m. and, when crews arrived, they noticed a whitish-blue vapour in the transfer facility. Fire Chief Don Beer said the vapour was drifting south toward the recycling depot. The area was evacuated, and traffic along Valley Road – located off Highway 11 – was shut down. Beer said the vapour resulted when an unmarked container split open during compacting and the material inside mixed with water to create a reaction. A Hazmat (hazardous materials) team determined that the material was acid-based. It was neutralized and the area was ventilated. A remediation contractor then removed the container to dispose of it at an appropriate hazardous waste

Members of the Hazmat team were at the Matsqui Transfer Station on Tuesday to deal with a hazardous vapour that was released from a container during the compacting process.
facility. Beer said because the container was unmarked, its source is not known nor is the exact material that was inside. Assistant Fire Chief Dave Rivett said this type of situation is not uncommon at a transfer station. “People throw a lot of things into the
garbage that they shouldn’t, rather than taking it to a recycling (facility) that recycles hazardous materials.” Beer said one woman on scene reported feeling ill, but she did not require hospitalization. The workers returned to work on Wednesday morning.
Investigation shows ‘integrity’ Allegations that officers damaged tents of homeless to be explored Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) showed “courage” and “integrity” by launching an investigation into allegations that its officers damaged the tents of homeless people and used pepper spray in areas where tents were placed, according to a local advocate for the homeless. Ward Draper, executive director of the 5 and 2 Ministries – a group that supports and provides services to Abbotsford’s homeless – said he was surprised, but very impressed by the APD’s A decision to launch an a investigation. The investigation MORINEE ObNynLews.com stems from complaints ab made m by homeless people that th were relayed by representatives from 5 and 2 Ministries at a meeting of the Abbotsford Social Development Advisory Committee (ASDAC). Draper said allegations of police using pepper spray and slashing the tents of the homeless have been made for years, and he always takes such allegations “with a grain of salt.” However, the week before the city dumped manure on Gladys Avenue, Draper said two tents were slashed and three were pepper sprayed, with some alleging that police were present.
KEVIN MILLS Abbotsford News
Ward Draper of 5 and 2 Ministries is impressed with the quick actions of Abbotsord Police.
Draper said in the past 60 to 90 days, he had heard that about a dozen tents had been destroyed. He said because camps are occasionally destroyed and even pepper sprayed by citizens, he generally hesitates to make allegations against police. “There was enough evidence, enough reliable sources, that we felt it was safe enough to really make an official statement.” Draper said that he didn’t anticipate sparking a police investigation,
but thinks it’s a positive step. Draper said he has a level of trepidation, because he wants to maintain the very positive relationship between the 5 and 2 Ministries and the APD. “(We) don’t want to burn bridges with the APD, but at the same time we’ve got to make sure we find ways to get everyone on the same page in this community, and we’re trying to do this the best we can.” The APD’s professional standards branch is conducting an investigation into the matter, with oversight by the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner. Const. Ian MacDonald said that APD respects the work done by the 5 and 2 Ministries. “We weren’t going to let that just sit there as an allegation without it being (looked into).” MacDonald said if the allegations prove true, they could be considered an abuse of authority, and the officers involved could face disciplinary measures. Draper was informed that the investigation would take place by representatives of APD, and said he is impressed by how seriously they are taking the issue. “To me, they’ve taken a braver (step) – a move with more integrity – than our city government has done in addressing their faults with the chicken manure.”

Former teacher appeals conviction Martin Careen sentenced in 2012 for sexual exploitation
Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
FILE PHOTO
Martin Careen will have his appeal heard Friday before a three-member panel in Vancouver.
A former teacher from Abbotsford is appealing his conviction on a count of sending sexually explicit text messages to a student. Martin Careen’s appeal will be heard Friday before a three-member panel at the B.C. Court of Appeal in Vancouver. Careen, 53, was sentenced in May 2012 to a 60-day jail term for one count of invitation to sexual touching (sexual exploitation). He was a teacher at St. John Brebeuf Regional Secondary – a pri-
vate Catholic school in Abbotsford – when he had a text conversation with a female student, then 17, in the late evening and early morning of Jan. 27 and 28, 2009. At first, the texts addressed an upcoming history exam and other school work, but they became sexual in nature. At the time of his ruling, Justice Terence Schultes said Careen’s sentence should be on the lighter side for such an offence because the texts in question were sent over a brief overnight period and were not ongoing. However, he said the offence was
serious because Careen was in a position of trust at the time of the text exchange and his actions negatively impacted the victim. “The language with which he addressed the student was deeply offensive,� Schultes said. During Careen’s trial, his lawyer had argued that Careen’s cellphone had been accessible to others in his household, and he did not send the offensive texts. Careen is no longer permitted to teach and, at the time of his sentencing, was employed as an office worker for an Alberta construction company.

their advice was not being addressed by council. He met with new city manager George Murray – who is a non-voting member of ASDAC – about a month ago to talk about improving the relationship between committees and council. Murray said the process for bringing recommendations from committees to council is currently being reviewed to establish a consistent prac-

He said when council receives recommendations, they should respond to the committee with an idea about what they will do based on the recommendations and a timeline on which it will occur. He also said it is important to hold face-to-face meetings
between committee members and councillors, where they can share their expertise and engage with council. “I think we’ve proved that we can be a valuable asset in a crisis, and we hope that (the city) will see it that way, and encourage us and continue to draw upon our expertise.” Coun. Bill MacGregor, who serves as ASDAC’s vice-chair, said last week’s meeting led to resolutions, including a plan to “reactivate” the housing working group, which, four years ago, helped put together the homeless camp closure protocol that is supposed to be used by the city. MacGregor said council will now entertain the recommendations made by the committee. “It will be brought back to mayor and council in terms of how committees are formed, what is their raison d’etre, and how much stock are we going to put in it,” he said, adding that this will be a “complete laundering of what committees are currently doing, and what we need them to do in the future.” MacGregor said it is important for committees to have clear mandates, and clarity of purpose and vision.

QUESTION
WebTalk
OF THE WEEK Do you support a plan to build a 20-unit facility for homeless men in the downtown area?
Wrecking tents I heard these allegations sometime in May, glad to see there’s been further discussion about them. Jay Mitchell
To answer, go to abbynews.com
Very good response by the APD. Hopefully the allegation will prove unwarranted as the city doesn’t need another black mark in its dealings with the disadvantaged in our city. James Inglis
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Do you support the concept of an industrial park developed on the agricultural land reserve in Bradner?
It is soooo easy to criticize the establishment like city hall, the police or the government. My question is: What would I do better than if I was in their position? I, for one, appreciate so much our police force, our city management/workers for the hard work they do on an ongoing basis. It’s easy to get on the band wagon and “be so ashamed” of our city. Maybe those who are so “offended” would like to offer a solution like inviting some of the homeless to camp in their backyard for a while. Nick Cadorette

What ails the NDP? Plenty Tom

B.C. Views VICTORIA – After 34 NDP MLAs were sworn in to continue a stretch of opposition that will reach at least 16 years, leader Adrian Dix took a few questions about his future. The party’s provincial council will meet June 21 to set the terms of reference for a review of the party’s dismal election performance, Dix told reporters. He repeated that his performance won’t be spared, and ticked off some conventional wisdom about the NDP campaign. Dix mentioned the alleged lack of “negative” ads, the local campaigns (read candidates), the decreasing reliability of polls and, when pressed, his surprise decision to come out against the proposed twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline. Like last week’s hysteria over a tiny leak in that pipeline, these are great sound bites for the short attention spans of the modern
media. But they don’t explain much. Occupy Vancouver squat. This all-powerful NDP provincial council Showing a glimmer of adult supervision, is a case in point.

shared the beer business, producing identical bland lager from identical factories in identical stubby bottles. Inter-provincial trade in these stubbies was strictly forbidden, requiring each province to have a big unionized brewery to make uniformly bad beer for the proletariat. This is the power of a monopoly union. And because of it, this was how governments tried to “create jobs.” It’s a bygone era to which many core NDP supporters stubbornly cling. This explains the party’s revival of a “job protection commissioner” for forestry. Which brings us to the proverbial root cause of the B.C. NDP’s woes. Its largest financial donor is the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, which donated $1.4 million to the party in the past eight years, nosing out the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Hospital Employees’ Union.

letters More than an apology is needed Let’s label modified crops To Mayor Bruce Banman: As homeowners (non-resident) in Abbotsford we feel we need to address the recent issue of manure dumping in select areas of the city. We were remiss in not contacting you sooner however with more in today’s newspaper we felt a letter was in order. We are pleased to see it states in your bio on the website Mr. Banman that ... “It is important to Bruce to support an inclusive community for everyone; elders, families, children, grandchildren and future generations.� We therefore assume it was an oversight in neglecting to include the homeless and disenfranchised.  We are sure you are a man who is inclusive of all.
It is our contention no matter who made the decision to act in such a disgraceful and elitist manner as to put manure in public places, that person should be fired and no longer receive a healthy city salary for making a call that denigrates our citizens no matter the status. You as mayor are in the front lines and we sincerely hope you offer more than an apology. There are many wonderful folks in Abbotsford who work and live with integrity and whoever is responsible for this atrocity should no longer have the privilege of a salary paid by the citizens of Abbotsford. Patti Swinburne and Derwyn Tripp
A big thanks to selfless heroes Re: The car accident on June 15 at Vye Road and Sumas Way. I was the first or one of the first people on scene of this accident where a car ended upside down in a water filled ditch, with four girls in it. I would just like to note the willingness and courage of the first people on scene
to jump in to the waterfilled ditch to help these four girls trapped in their upside down car. Well before police and rescue arrived, incredible efforts where made to right the car. I personally would like to thank greatly all those who helped.
In cases such as these, names and such are not exchanged, but collectively these people did a fantastic job. If I could I would shake all of their hands and commend them on their heroic efforts. Thank you!

Re: GMO crops subject to strict standards (June 6 edition): It is no surprise that Lorne Hepworth contends that genetically modified crops are perfectly safe. As the President of CropLife Canada, he heads a trade association representing the plant science industry. In other words, he’s a glorified spokesperson for the big agrichemical companies – Monsanto, Dow, Bayer, DuPont, Syngenta, and BASF. These companies produce the bulk of the world’s pesticides and genetically modified seeds. Readers should be aware that genetically engineered foods

Mixed housing can work very well – an example is Vancouver’s south False Creek flats. A literal stone’s throw
from (very) pricey waterfront condos sit governmentsponsored units. Even though they are decades-old, they have not been allowed to deteriorate through neglect. There is no need for neighbours to complain.

and that lacking sorely needs to be addressed. As far as costs are concerned, a large component of building expense is the cost of land – the Fraser Health lands on McCallum are tailor-made for the kind of housing required – it is a travesty that they have they been allowed to sit bare for so many years.

Manure move an embarrassment to the city Re: the editorial called An old sore exposed.

have not undergone extensive safety reviews as Mr. Hepworth asserts. There is a complete absence of independent scientific studies of possible long-term effects of eating GMO foods and yet it is thought that 80 per cent of the foods we eat now contain some form of genetic modification. By eating these foods, we are subjecting ourselves to a potentially dangerous unknown. If these crops are as safe as agri-tech executives would have us believe, then label them and let the consumer decide.

When a government wants to do something – such as spend $10-12 million on a film awards show, or implement double-digit salary increases, or charge seniors $25 a week for wheelchairs, or (closer to home) subsidize a professional hockey team – it’s done quickly and without public input.

Stanley Cup devastation caused $500,000 in vehicle damage Jeff NAGEL Black Press
Two local men are among 46 people charged or convicted in the 2011 Stanley Cup riot who are now being sued by ICBC to recoup more than $500,000 in insured losses to 77 damaged or destroyed vehicles. Calvin Turchyn of Abbotsford and Manvir Khatra of Mission have been named in the civil court claim, which was filed June 13 – two days before the two-year anniversary of the 2011 riot in downtown Vancouver following the Canucks’ Game 7 loss to the Boston Bruins. Turchyn previously received a four-month conditional sentence (house arrest) and one year of probation for taking part in the riot. Khatra was sentenced to 30 days in prison. Besides looting businesses, rioters flipped and torched numerous vehicles. “ICBC has a responsibility to protect our customers’ premium dollars and is taking legal action to recover the costs of these acts of vandalism to ensure they are not passed on to our customers,” the auto insurer said in a statement. Eight named defendants are listed as being from Surrey – more than any other city. Others named in the suit come from across the Lower Mainland and all over B.C., from as far away

as Nelson, Windermere, Prince George and Tofino. Six are from Vancouver, six are from Burnaby, four are from Victoria, and two each are from Maple Ridge and Coquitlam. The claim names Jane Doe or John Doe in some cases where accused rioters have charges pending or may be identified at a later date. The losses range from small amounts for scratches or broken mirrors to total write-offs. The largest single damage claim is $61,000 for a 2006 Bentley that was trashed and torched by rioters. ICBC also paid out $46,316 for a 2006 BMW M5 and $39,693 for a 2007 Hummer
H2. More than 55,000 people gathered to watch the final game of the playoffs on an outdoor screen at a viewing site set up by the City of Vancouver and 100,000 more were watching at other downtown venues. More than 120 vehicles were damaged in total, including 24 emergency vehicles. One of the first vehicles seriously damaged was a Nissan Versa overturned and set on fire near the live site before the game ended. Four Victoria residents and three from Surrey are among 16 defendants named as either acting, assisting or encouraging the damage.

Charges laid in robbery spree Chilliwack man faces eight counts
Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

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.

Charges have been laid against a man accused of three recent armed robberies in Abbotsford and one in Chilliwack. Christopher John Olson, 38, of Chilliwack faces one count of robbery and one count of using an imitation firearm in each of the incidents, for a total of eight charges. Olson is accused of robbing a liquor store in the 1900 block of North Parallel Road on May 26, a bank in the 32100 block of South Fraser Way on June 1, and a liquor store in the 30400 block of Cardinal
Avenue on June 3. It is also alleged that he robbed a gas station in Chilliwack on May 24. The Abbotsford Police department released video surveillance photos of a suspect wanted in connection with the incidents on May 26 and June 1. Olson was arrested last Wednesday in the 30800 block of Peardonville Road in Abbotsford. “This investigation was a priority for us and the arrest is a result of a collaborative effort between our office and the Chilliwack RCMP,” said Abbotsford Police Sgt. Casey Vinet.
“Robberies such as these tend to occur in sprees so we are very happy that we were able to identify and get this guy into custody before any more businesses could be impacted.” In all three Abbotsford robberies, the suspect was described as a stocky man in his 30s or 40s wearing glasses and a baseball cap. Olson is currently in custody and is next scheduled to appear in court this Friday, June 21. According to the provincial court database, his only prior convictions are for driving while prohibited and driving without due care and attention.

He was found slumped beside a dumpster along South Fraser Way last September by a Good Samaritan. That woman had often joked that her GMC truck ran like a moose, and she said she was going to get a small toy moose to sit on the hood of the vehicle. Then, she spotted the creature she would dub “Doug� – after the character from the famous Bob and Doug McKenzie TV skits from the 1980s. Doug the Moose, at about four feet tall and just as wide, was too big for the hood, so the woman – who wants to remain anonymous – propped him on the roof.

Doug has also supported Vaisakhi and Diwali – celebrated by Abbotsford’s large South Asian population – and just about any other occasion that arises.

Truckers come to Tradex
The 2013 B.C. Professional Truck Driving Championships take place in Abbotsford on June 22 at Tradex. The competition attracts as many as 70 of the best professional drivers from across the province, an equal number of volunteer judges from the industry, and several hundred industry spectators throughout the day and evening. There are five classes of competition ranging from Straight Truck to B-Train. The competition consists of three tests of knowledge and skill: a written exam, which tests the drivers’ general knowledge of the industry and equipment; a vehicle inspection, during which drivers must find a series of planted defects; and the driving competition, which simulates the everyday skills of maneuvering, cornering and judging distance on an obstacle course. The driving portion of the contest will take place from 8 a.m. to approximately 5 p.m. on June 22. Spectators are welcome to attend and there is no admission charge. The National Championships will also be held in B.C., at Tradex, this year from Sept. 19-21. For information visit bctrucking.com.

Businesses, residents have concerns
Kevin MILLS
Abbotsford News
Many residents and business owners feel some kind of action needs to be taken after the recent incident involving the city dumping chicken manure on a homeless site. The manure incident has shone a light on the plight of the homeless, but some people believe that light needs to expose the problems caused by the homeless as well. Complaints have been voiced about issues such as thefts in the area, garbage littered all around, needles being discarded and even sex acts in the nearby foliage. One office worker said there have been several instances where a homeless person decided to camp out in the entranceway of the building. “That was a little disconcerting, for staff and potential customers,” she said, not wanting to reveal her name or the company she works for. Building security was called in and dealt with the issue quickly, she said, adding the problem has yet to reoccur. Other business people tell a similar story. “We have seen on two or three occasions, particularly in poor weather, they will sleep in front of our building,” said one man. He believes that the biggest issue surrounding the homeless is safety, not for his employees, but for the homeless themselves. “We have witnessed two or three overdoses outside our building.” He also said that on several occasions a homeless person has suddenly darted out into traffic on Gladys Avenue. “I have seen them crossing the street, suddenly and abruptly, causing vehicles to slam on their brakes.” He said he doesn’t see the homeless as “an eyesore” adding they are “a little bit of a reflection of our own society.” “It’s horrible to see 15 or 20 people living in a ditch.” Still other people say they have seen people unconscious along the sidewalk. “It’s really frightening because you don’t know if they are sleeping or if they’ve ODed,” said one woman. Some home owners are less sympathetic, sending several letters to the Abbotsford News complaining about thefts and other illegal acts associated with homelessness. “Try having a barbecue when the propane tanks are missing, stolen just so the brass value can be sold for scrap,” wrote one reader.

No tie to food in three brain disease cases: FHA Fraser Health patients have standard CJD, not ‘mad cow’ disease
Jeff NAGEL Black Press
Three suspected Lower Mainland cases of a degenerative brain-wasting disease have nothing to do with mad cow disease or the consumption of beef, say public health officials. One resident in the Fraser Health region is dead of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) and two others who are ill are believed to have it. “I want to be clear there is absolutely no evidence that these three confirmed or probable cases are linked to food consumption,” said Paul Van Buynder, Fraser Health’s chief medical health officer. He said these are cases of “classical” CJD that appear every year, albeit rarely, at a rate of one or two per million. Tests have ruled out the variant form of CJD linked to consumption of beef from cattle infected with mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy). “There has never been a home-grown case of variant CJD in Canada so this is not surprising,” Van Buynder said. He said some media and social media reports wrongly referred to the local cases as “human mad cow disease.” About 30 Canadians a year contract the standard form of CJD. Van Buynder said the three cases in Fraser are one or two more than might normally be expected here in a year, but still within what’s statistically likely. “There is no out-
break and I want to reassure residents of the Lower Mainland that there is no risk to the public or to residents in our fa-
cilities.” The patients are from different Fraser region cities and settings, he said, and a review so far has
not found any links to suggest a common source of the neurological disorder. Three more possible case were in-
vestigated by Fraser over the past year but are considered unlikely to be CJD. CJD victims die about a year after
symptoms appear. They first show psychiatric problems like anxiety or depression, followed by persistent pain or
odd sensations, unsteady or jerky walking, progressive dementia and eventual inability to move or speak.

Walkers, volunteers and family supporters lined the track at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford for the Survivors’ Lap during the Canadian Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life. The event began at 7 p.m. Friday and continued for 12 hours, raising funds for cancer research, prevention initiatives and support for people living with cancer.
Concert series presents Elsay On June 22 from 8-10 p.m., the Envision Coffee House Concert Series is presenting the group Elsay at Clayburn Gourmet Gallery in Abbotsford. Elsay is a spirited new Vancouver-based folk group which was the brainchild of Mike Meroniuk and Kirin Lamb, two Capilano University jazz students with a love for fiddle music.
They started jamming together in the summer of 2012 as a flute and guitar duo. The pair discovered an incredible compatibility, and in searching for a fuller sound, recruited fiddler Kiel Strang, mandolin player Navid Goldrick, and tin whistle player Marco Del Rio. Thus was born a fresh new sound in Canadian folk,
Celebration in Community 50 years ago, something new started at the corner of Windsor and Marshall. A small group of Mennonite Christians broke ground for a new faith community. Many of them had come from the former Soviet Union and South America, but all were grateful to find a new homeland in Canada. German was their first language and the new “Eben-Ezer Mennonite Church” met the faith needs of these immigrants well. They chose the name “Eben-Ezer” (a Biblical Hebrew phrase that signifies an altar of stones erected in memory of God’s goodness and faithfulness to His people) because it reflected their own recent experiences of persecution, trouble, and divine help. Time passed and as the church grew, it found itself changing. More and more English-speaking people joined the church and the faith community grappled again and again with its identity. They were followers of Jesus Christ, Evangelicals, Mennonites, German and English. A person is a complex blend of many things – a group of people even more so! Through all these struggles, the people of Eben-Ezer clung to the promises of God and His faithfulness, while seeking to serve the community, care for the poor, and support each other spiritually. People joined and left. There were births, baptisms, weddings, and funerals. All the cycles of life were seen and experienced repeatedly among them as they walked together here in Abbotsford. Now, 50 years later, the community of Eben-Ezer Mennonite Church has arrived at a landmark anniversary. Beautiful and bittersweet memories weave together in a colourful tapestry that compels them to again recognize the faithfulness of God.

More than 2,000 UFV grads Three convocation ceremonies held at AESC The University of the Fraser Valley sent another batch of its best and brightest out into the world on June 13-14, as more than 2,000 students graduated and more than half of them attended convocation ceremonies, crossing the stage at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. Laurie Schulz, a member of the first graduating class from the Master of Social Work degree program, reminded her fellow graduates on June 13 that education is not just about preparing to do something, but also about preparing to be someone. “Take note, specifically on graduation day, of how many times you’re asked, ‘So what now? What are you are going to do?’” she said. Multi-award winner Sol Sun was the student speaker for the College of Arts ceremony on June 14.
KEVIN MILLS Abbotsford News
More than 2,000 students graduated from the University of the Fraser Valley this year. Three separate convocations were held in order to accommodate everyone.
He spoke about the importance of finding a passion for what one pursues. “I wasn’t the best student in high school, because I didn’t really care about what I was learning. Here in university, I’ve discovered something I am truly passionate about and am intrinsically motivated to
pursue. I believe that whatever we do, we should love it and be able to talk all day long about it.” Derek Froese, who earned a Bachelor of Computer Information Systems degree and spoke at the Friday afternoon ceremony on June 13, told his fellow graduates that they should

T Professor emeritus status was bestowed upon newly elected MLA for Abbotsford South, Dr. Darryl Plecas.

award went to communications instructor Linda Pardy, and the Research Excellence award went to chemistry instructor Noham Weinberg.

Rocamboles are revered by many to be the best tasting of all the garlics. In addition to its flavour, garlic is considered a health food that reduces cholesterol and blood pressure.

have a chance out here, we are all one big family.” Canada Day at Exhibition Park is one of Abbotsford’s most popular single day events, with nearly 20,000 participants throughout the day.
It has been a community effort to construct the town, including paint donated by General Paints, and lumber supplied by Rona. A multitude of volunteers have worked tirelessly to build the display in time for the July 1 celebration, and Abbotsford Major Bruce Banman even showed up to offer his support. For Banman, the display represents the opportunity for small businesses in Abbotsford to thrive and contribute to the community. “I want future generations to know there is a secure job market here,” says Banman, who believes the western town will become a backdrop for many other events this summer including the Agrifair and the Berry Festival. “I would encourage all businesses to get involved in the Wild, Wild West theme because it’s fun, so let’s have some fun this summer.”

A perfect afternoon at the winery Township 7 Vineyards and Winery offers a wide range of VQA wines— red, white, rosé—made from B.C. grapes. Lucky for us in the Fraser Valley, they just happen to have a vineyard, tasting room and winery store in Langley. And that’s where we went last Sunday.

Congratulations SURJIT on your graduation!
Township 7 hosted an interesting and fun event titled, Wine & Swine, where T7 wines were paired with different styles of bacon from Beast and Brine as well as bourbon-glazed, candied-bacon-topped doughnuts from Cartems Donuterie. Part proceeds of the day went to support PADS, an organization that raises and trains assistance dogs for people with physical disabilities or who are deaf or hard of hearing.
with candied bacon topped with apple sauce—but, I tell you, it really worked. Township 7’s Rosé ($15.99/12.5% ABV) is comprised of five grape varieties:: Chardonnay 56%, Pinot Noir 19%, Muscat 12%, Cabernet Franc 7%, Merlot 5%. %. The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay were co-fermented, with the other varieties ieties blended in masterfully by winemaker maker Bradley Cooper to create a fruity, y, juicy, quaffable wine that is perfectly fectly suited for the patio. This wine was paired brilliantly with prosciutto. to. My hands-down favourite pairing of the day was the black-pepper-cured lamb-belly y bacon topped with curry mint nt aioli and Township 7’s 2010 Syrah ($24.99/13% ABV). Each was pleasant on its own, but when put together, r, they became remarkable. Proof once again that food and wine were made to go together and bring out the e best in each other.
What’s your favourite class so far?
There were some very interesting food-wine combinations. I never would have thought, for instance, to pair the lightly oaked 2010 Chardonnay ($19.99/13.2% ABV)

Belly Dancing When Nicci Marsh turned 35 she decided to quit her corporate job to pursue her passion for belly dance. The drastic change was provoked by a hobby, which had quickly turned into an art form that had undeniably changed her life. “As a dancer and as a woman, I became more connected, less judgmental, and more self-reflective,” says Marsh, who wants to share her insight with the dance community. Through the teachings of various wise instructors, she learned that each move has its own history and meaning, all expressed through different styles of dance. Marsh soon discovered Tribal Fusion, which is a modern version of belly dance that blends “foundational style” and fuses it with influential urban styles, paired with mainstream music. Now Nicci is an instructor, performer, founding member and owner of Tha Fae Bellydance and Tha Realm Dance Studio (33779 Essendene Avenue), and often performs her intricate dances at private and community functions.
sh Nicci Mar ce Studio Tha Realm
Dan
“I did not start taking belly dance classes with the intent to perform, let alone teach or better yet open my own studio,” says Marsh, “but as time passed and the path continued to unfold I found myself performing more and more.” In the five years that Marsh has been dancing in
Abbotsford, she says the community continues to be receptive to her “alternative” form of dance. However, she still finds it “shocking” how misconceived belly dance is by so many. “The biggest misconception is that belly dance is a dance meant to entertain men, and nothing could be further from the truth,” explains Marsh. “Belly dance is a dance that celebrates life, birth and creativity, a dance that celebrates women, the body and beauty.” The benefits of belly dance include physical, emotional, social and mental, by using the concentration of every aspect of the body to move, and fueling a reconnection within to sensuality and creativity. “It’s one of the few dance forms that truly embraces every shape and every age,” says Marsh, whose oldest student is 70 years old. Marsh believes her growth as a dancer and as an instructor has stemmed from forming a sense of community within her studio. “Tha Realm’s mission is to be a creative and open dance space for dancers and artists to collaborate, create, rehearse and train,” says Marsh. Her studio is holding an Open Studio during the Berrybeat Festival on July 6 and 7, and will be running free Bellydance and Bellyfit classes throughout each day. Marsh prospers by using her passion to enlighten those around her, taking on new challenges each day and never regretting her decision to follow her dream. And for anyone who asks why she chose this path? “Because I must,” she says instantly. “There is something about dance, and I think any passion-based thing in life, you do it because you must; there is no other option. You are pulled, driven to pursue and do.”

The sun is shining and it is time to dust off your barbecues and cook outside. I thought I would share some tips for grilling steak this summer. Start with room temperature meat. By bringing your steak up to room temperature (about 15-30 minutes before grilling) the meat will cook evenly throughout so you can achieve your ideal temperature. PROPER SEASONING: Ready for a classic Chef Jeff technique? Grab a large, flat, white plate. Take a generous pinch of table salt. Hold your hand about a foot above the plate, and let the salt fall in a nice, even layer over the plate. Place your steak on the seasoned plate, and with the same foot-high flourish, season the other side. Finish with a dramatic pinch of fresh, cracked black pepper, and take a bow.
USE BOTH DIRECT AND INDIRECT TEMPERATURES. Fire up that grill around the same time you pull the steak out of the fridge. Bring one side of your grill up to 400 degrees for your first char and those perfect cross hatch grill marks. Over this direct heat, rotate the steak evenly, grilling each side for 1-2 minutes. Once you’re satisfied with the char, transfer the steak to an indirect heat of 300 degrees and bring it to your preferred doneness. The best way to test it is to make sure the steak is resting on a flat surface and use your fingers to see how it feels. This can take practice, so here are a few points of reference in case you don’t quite have the confidence of a food network grill master.
Internal Temperatures: RARE: 130 (seared on the outside but red throughout) MEDIUM RARE: 145 (75% red through the center & juicy) MEDIUM: 160 (25% pink showing on inside) WELL DONE: 170 (brown through the center)

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY FAVOURITE CUT? Ribeye. This cut, from the small end of the rib roast, has a higher fat content and nice marbelling which lends itself to that beautiful “fat drip flame” as it’s grilled directly. Can you say ultimate flavor and tenderness?

AT SAY IT WITH CAKE WE CAN PROVIDE BOTH FONDANT AND ICING CAKES TO MEET ANY BUDGET.
USE YOUR SHARPEST, MOST COVETED KNIFE AND SLICE ACROSS THE GRAIN. The importance of slicing across the grain varies depending on the tenderness of the cut of steak. Tenderloins will melt in your mouth no matter how you slice it. When it comes to your hanger, skirt, or flank steaks, working against the grain will make a world of difference. The “grain” refers to the muscle fibers of the steak, and by slicing across them, you shorten the fibers rather than elongate them.

GIVE YOUR STEAK A REST. Giving a 6-8oz striploin or tenderloin 5-10 minutes of rest is crucial to letting the muscle and juices relax. Keep in mind that the steak will always carry over a few degrees as it rests.

MANSCAPING Men can put their best faces forward, too
Women may devote more time to beauty and grooming than men, but many men are now interested in health and beauty regimens that can improve their appearances or enhance their natural features. The benefits of maintaining a healthy and attractive look can have advantages for those who are looking for a new job or looking for a new romantic partner. Although the majority of beauty products are geared toward women, there are many efforts men can make to look their best. Facial Care One of the first things a person will notice about you is your face, so a wellgroomed face can go a long way toward
making a strong first impression. Both men and women are susceptible to wrinkles, either from sun damage, heredity or poor health habits like smoking. Using a moisturizer every day can help keep the skin supple and hydrated. Instead of bar soaps, rely on specialized facial cleansers, which can be gentler on the face and also reduce the propensity for breakouts or allergic reactions. Sun protection is important, and both men and women should apply facial sun protection product daily. In addition, sunglasses help shield the eyes from damaging UV rays. Hair Care Men may spend less time primping in the shower and afterward on their hair than women because women’s cuts tend to be longer and more complex. However, that doesn’t mean men should ignore hair care.

maintaining a healthy and attractive look can have advantages
While it is not necessary to wash hair every day, do so when hair starts looking unkempt or oily. Stick to shampoos that wash clean and don’t leave behind any “shine enhancers” or residues that make your locks limp, particularly if you’re thinning up top. Also, conditioners may weigh down hair and cannot be substituted for shampoo.
SHIP SHAPE
Feel good half naked Swimsuit season is heralded for the return of warmer weather, but often feared for the arrival of revealing clothing. Swimsuits are typically the most revealing wardrobe items of all. Shopping for a new swimsuit may evoke feelings of fear and anxiety, but women should not be so afraid when swimming season arrives. Instead, employ the following tips to suit up in a style that fits your body and personality. Pear-shaped women or those with shorter legs may benefit from a style of swimsuit that brings the eyes up to the chest to draw attention away from the lower
half of the body. Look for leg openings that are moderately high cut to elongate the legs and do not hit at the thickest part of the thigh. Women who want to amplify the appearance of a small bust are best to avoid bandeau-style tops or skimpy bikinis. Instead, look for tops that have ruffles or other embellishments that add more substance to the bust area. Underwire tops can also push up and offer more support. To minimize a thicker middle, avoid shiny fabrics and tankinis. Wear a solidcoloured suit that has high-cut legs or a low-cut top to draw attention away from the belly area. Women with bigger busts can still wear a two-piece swimsuit if they choose that swimsuit wisely. Opt for bathing suits that have a hidden bra inside or underwire. Avoid triangle bikini tops. Also, skip high-cut tops, which can make a chest look even bigger but squashed. Those who are plus-sized may have qualms about stepping out in a bathing suit. However, there are many flattering styles available. Look for a wrap-style that instantly slims the middle. Keep swimsuits simple so that pattern doesn’t overwhelm the body. You can wear two-piece swimsuits, but avoid string bikinis that may dig into curves and cause bulging. Once you find a swimsuit you like, take note of the manufacturer and style and remember to follow these guidelines the next time warm weather returns.

myhealth Of the 1,272 federal disaster declarations issued in the last decade, more than half were classified as major disasters. These include calamities such as floods, hurricanes and tropical storms, winter storms, and others. “Most major disasters displaced hundreds or thousands of people from home and work, and nearly all involved a temporary or prolonged loss of major services and necessities, including power, communications, and running water,” said Jonathan Bacon, director of marketing at Wilson Electronics, a maker of communications equipment. “We began thinking about what has changed in technology and ct society, and how that would affect what we would want to have in an emergency ‘go-pack’,” Bacon ke said. “A lot of what we would take me with us hasn’t changed, but some of what we’d desire today had not been invented 10 years ago. We came up with 5 items that were either invented or radically improved in the last 10 years. We call it the 21st Century Survival Kit.” All of these products are readily available, weigh less than five pounds total and take up little room in a backpack.
What's in your survival kit? 1.
CELL PHONE SIGNAL BOOSTER:
“We’re all extremely dependent on smartphones for voice and data communications. Already widely used by first responders and news crews when initially entering disaster zones, the Sleek 4G, a portable cell phone signal booster helps to transmit and receive calls and data via cell towers unaffected by a disaster.
AVAILABLE AT VALHALLA PURE OUTFITTERS
3. LED HEADLAMP: Also powered by rechargeable batteries, the latest generation of these types of lamps have adjustable brightness to maximize battery life and can be made bright enough to cast light more than 100 feet. 4. TWO-WAY FRS/GMRS RADIOS: “When even a Wilson booster can’t find a cell signal, these radios provide a communications range up to 30 miles,” said Bacon..
AVAILABLE AT FUTURESHOP.CA
5. MICROBIAL FILTER STRAW:
2. PORTABLE SOLAR PANEL: “These solar panels weigh only about a pound and are very practical for charging portable batteries and devices,” said Bacon. He recommended a panel capable of producing at least 10 Watts of power and one amp of current.

Safety tips for fairs Carnivals, fairs and street festivals can make for fun family outings. The nice weather just beckons people outdoors, and weekend after weekend resourceful carnival goers can probably find a fair nearby. But revelers need to make sure their experiences are as safe as they are fun.
The Outdoor Amusement Business Association estimates 500 million guests visit carnivals, fairs and festivals each year. More than half of them participate in mobile amusement rides, among other recreational pursuits. Such pursuits can not only be fun, but they also can be dangerous, especially for young children. As a result, parents taking their kids along to enjoy this wholesome fun should consider the following precautions. • BE PREPARED. Research the fair or carnival and know what to expect when you arrive. How big is it? What are the types of attractions and what vendors will be included? What is the parking situation? Are strollers allowed? Knowing what to expect can make the occasion a little less stressful.
• DRESS FOR THE WEATHER. It is important to wear sturdy, comfortable footwear. Many carnivals are set up in fields or empty parking lots. There will be a lot of walking, and you want to be sure you are comfortable. Avoid wearing any dangling clothes and jewelry. Tie back long hair to reduce your risk of accidents on rides.
• IDENTIFY SECURITY GUARDS OR A SECURITY KIOSK UPON ENTERING. Let children know where safety personnel are stationed. Establish a meet-up point that is very conspicuous should anyone get separated from the group. This central location will be checked first and should be easily identifiable for young children. Instruct the child to stay there until you find him or her. • GIVE YOUR CHILD YOUR NUMBER. Even if your child has memorized your phone number, it might be hard for them to remember in a high-pressure situation, such as being lost. Put your name on a sheet of paper in your child’re pocket or write it on their arm with a Sharpie.
• TAKE A CURRENT PHOTO PHOTO. U Use your smartphone or camera to snap a picture of your children when you arrive at the event. This way you will have a method of helping others identify them should they get lost. • PLAY THE “WHAT AM I WEARING?” GAME before going into any crowded place. Tell your kids to take a good look at you, then close their eyes and get them to tell you what you’re wearing. If they ever get separated, it might help them locate you in a crowd. And they’d be able to describe you to a park employee or other helpful adult.
• LOOK FOR INSPECTION STICKERS. Carnival rides often have to be inspected for safety. If the ride doesn’t have a current inspection sticker, don’t ride it. • STAY HYDRATED. Dehydration is common when spending hours outdoors in warm weather. It can make a person dizzy and feeling sick to their stomach. If you feel thirsty, you already are dehydrated. Fairs are staples of the warm-weather season across the country. These enjoyable outings are even more fun when families play it safe.

Douglas living in sevens heaven 19-year-old picked for Rugby Sevens World Cup Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
Justin Douglas, pondering what it’s like to be the youngest player on the Canadian senior men’s rugby sevens team, can’t help but chuckle. “It’s actually not bad,” the 19-year-old Abbotsford native begins. “The boys, they’re actually quite nice to me.” Douglas pauses a beat. “Except, I do have to carry around a
stuffed moose everywhere.” The plush toy’s official name is Captain Green, and as a good-natured form of rookie initiation, Douglas’s teammates have required him to haul the moose through airports, into restaurants and into team meetings during international trips with Team Canada. “On travel days his head is poking out of my bag, but other Continued on A48

Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask! Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent. Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home. Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold. This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-
served for the real estate agents and their clients. This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home. To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811. This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.

Devin Brar (right) has earned a scholarship from Algoma University after a standout hoops career at Abby Senior.
Abby hoopsters headed to Algoma A pair of Abbotsford basketball players have landed scholarships from Algoma University. Devin Brar, a Grade 12 forward with the Abbotsford Senior basketball team, will join the men’s hoops squad, while Rick Hansen Secondary product Daya Bhogal is one of the women’s team’s new recruits. Algoma is based in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. The 6’5” Brar was a four-year starter with the Panthers, and is a longtime member of the B.C. provincial age-class teams. Algoma head coach Thomas Cory said he’s “very excited”
to add Brar to the roster. “Devin adds size to our court, especially in the wing position,” Cory said. “He is an exceptional shooter which will help spread the floor.” Bhogal, a 5’8” wing, averaged 14 points and four rebounds per game with the Hurricanes girls basketball team. She was the school’s athlete of the year from 2010-12, basketball MVP in ‘09 and ‘11, and volleyball MVP in ‘10. Algoma women’s coach Ryan Vetrie called Bhogal “a smart player who makes good decisions.” “She is able to handle and shoot the ball,” Vetrie said.

To complete the HVAC service a technician will clean out the air conditioning lines, evaporator and ventilator and then kill any bacteria mould or fungi. Then deodorize the entire A/C system and the vehicles interior. Finally, after a complete inspection for leaks and wear, the technician will measure and replenish the oil in the compressor. The air inside your vehicle will be much cleaner and 4 to 5 degrees cooler, thanks to increased efficiency.

myself traveling to all these places and playing on the highest stage,” he marveled. “I’m playing against people who last year I looked up to so much. Now, I can’t really afford to give them respect, because they’re running at me.” Douglas’s next foray into international rugby will be his highest-profile yet. On Monday, he was named to Canada’s 12-man roster for the Rugby Sevens World Cup, which runs June 28-30 in Moscow, Russia. Canada is in a pool with New Zealand, Georgia and the United States at the 24-team tournament. Our nation has generally been a middleof-the-pack squad in five prior appearances, but did notch a fifth-place finish in 2001. “Obviously I’m very excited,” Douglas said. “It’s quite an opportunity to play again for Canada, and the World Cup is quite a special event. It means more to be picked for that.” Douglas, who joined forces with fellow Robert Bateman Secondary grads Ryan March and Jordan SandoverBest to help the Canadian junior 15s side to a runner-up finish at the Junior World Rugby Trophy in Chile earlier this month, has the Olympics squarely in his long-term crosshairs. Sevens rugby will be an Olympic sport for the first time at the Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, and Douglas is well-positioned to be a part of that squad. “It’s the pinnacle event you can go to in your life,” he said. “That’s the goal I want to get to . . . especially since this is the first Olympics where rugby is involved.” Douglas’s recent accomplishments are all the more impressive considering he tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee in the fall of 2011, while playing football for the Bateman Timberwolves. “It feels great now – I can’t tell the difference anymore,” he said. “I’m quite happy with how the recovery went.”

Miller to helm Canada at Gold Cup
MEGASALE Up to 3000 AIR MILES rewards miles on new GM vehicles!
Colin Miller’s stint as interim head coach of the Canadian senior men’s soccer team has been extended to include the CONCACAF Gold Cup, set to begin in Pasadena, Calif. on July 7. Miller, an longtime Abbotsford resident, currently coaches FC Edmonton, a North American Soccer League side. Team Canada, without a permanent head coach since the resignation of Stephen Hart in October 2012, has tapped Miller to helm the team for a series of camps and friendlies this year. Canada will kick off the Gold Cup on July 7 vs. Martinique in Pasadena, then play Mexico on July 11 in Seattle and Panama in Denver on July 14. The top two teams from each group, as well as the two highest-seeded third-place finishers, will advance to the knockout stages. “I feel very privileged and grateful to have been chosen to lead Canada into this summer’s CONCACAF Gold Cup,” Miller said. Canada won the Gold Cup in 2000 and has made it as far as the semis in 2002 and 2007. Sportsnet will broadcast Canada’s games at the tournament.
