New indoor pool pitched by Olympians swim club

Group believes aquatic training facility could be built for under $10M Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

With Abbotsford’s proposed YMCA facility on hold indefinitely, the Abbotsford Olympians swim club has taken a proactive approach to help bring a new indoor pool to fruition. Their recently formed advocacy group, the Abbotsford Aquatic Parents Society (AAPS), has put together a proposal to build a 10-lane training pool at a cost of less than $10 million. “We’re talking about being able to put together a facility the city absolutely needs,” said

Olympians head coach Jason Chugh. “Essentially, at the end of the day, what we need is a hole in the ground and a box to cover it. That’s it. We don’t need the Taj Mahal.” The Olympians, Abbotsford’s year-round swim club, have been renting lane space at Matsqui Recreation Centre since 2004. Practising in a tank designed as a wave pool is not ideal – the MRC lanes are 1.2 metres wide, whereas 2.5 metres is standard. Given the facility limitations, the Olympians can’t expand much beyond their current membership of 80.

Their proposal, dubbed the Legacy Pool Project, was brought before the parks and recreation commission last week. The commission requested additional research from the AAPS, and they will submit a revised document in September for possible inclusion in the parks and rec master plan, which would then be brought before city council. The AAPS is suggesting a public-private partnership (P3) with a joint ownership component. The city would pay the bulk of the construction Continued on A4

Project timeline

Q In 2008, the provincial government and the City of Abbotsford signed a memorandum-ofunderstanding to develop supportive housing in Abbotsford, in response to a growing need for affordable housing for people who are homeless. Q The first project that was completed was the Christine Lamb Residence, which opened in May 2012 for women and children. The second project was the George Schmidt Centre, a 30-unit facility for men at risk of homelessness. It opened in February 2013. Q In September 2011, BC Housing issued an expression of interest to find a non-profit society that could construct and operate a supportive housing development in Abbotsford for individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Q A Request for Proposals was made to selected organizations in February 2012. Q The proposals were reviewed in a selection process that included BC Housing staff, City of Abbotsford staff and a community member serving as the Chair of Abbotsford Social Development Advisory Committee. Q In June 2012, BC Housing and the City of Abbotsford issued a conditional award to Abbotsford Community Services to develop 21 units of supportive housing. Q In June 2013, Abbotsford Community Services was clear to begin communicating with downtown stakeholders about the project as planning began for a public meeting. Q The next step is community consultation, beginning with a public information meeting on Thursday, July 25, at Abbotsford Community Services, 2420 Montrose Ave.

The ABDA previously expressed concern that although the project has been in the planning stages for two years, the ADBA was only made aware of it in June. Rod Santiago, executive director of ACS, and Dieleman both said this is because the project is being built in conjunction with BC Housing, which did not allow them to announce the project until June when the details of the proposal were finalized. Stewart wrote a post on the Abbotsford News website, calling this a “blattant (sic) lie.” Stewart stated she contacted BC Housing, and the provincial agency told her they encourage open conversations between all parties. The News subsequently spoke with a BC Housing representative, who confirmed that ACS was not able to disclose details of the project until it was finalized, which was in June 2013, when they began planning a public information meeting, which will

Youth suspected of starting fire Abbotsford Police were already on scene when a fire broke out at a home on Sentinel Drive on Sunday afternoon. “We actually had been called down to Sentinel group home to deal with an unrelated and minor issue involving one of the youth,” explained Const.

The first fire team at the scene reported heavy smoke and flames showing. Trucks from five halls responded. The fire was put out at ap-

proximately 3:40 p.m. “We have contacted Fraser Health, and the mental health component in regard to the female youth,” said MacDonald.

He did say the youth is “suspected of starting the fire” but added there is a “whole bunch” of different tissues to be considered.

tion costs, while the AAPS has pledged $100,000 over 10 years and would participate in additional fundraising. The Olympians and other user groups would each take a 15 per cent ownership stake to cover ongoing maintenance costs. The AAPS, after discussions with building consultants, estimate the cost of a structure to house a pool at roughly $2 million. As for the pool itself, they priced out two different sizes of Myrthabrand products. A 25x25-metre pool would cost approximately $2.9 million, while a 50x25-metre pool would be $4.5 million. The land cost hasn’t been finalized, as the AAPS has yet to propose a location. They’ve been directed to look into partnerships with Twisters Gymnastics Club, which began a fundraising drive in 2012 to build a new $20-million facility at Exhibition Park, or the University of the Fraser Valley. Chugh noted the facility isn’t designed with the Olympians exclusively in mind. A training pool would also facilitate indoor water polo, diving and synchronized swimming teams – opportunities

which aren’t currently available in Abbotsford. Training for athletic clubs would be the pool’s primary function, but the general public would also utilize the pool for lap swimming. “If you’re building a 10-lane, 50-metre pool, there’s a lot of space there,” Chugh said. “You can have two or three groups in the pool at the same time and still have room for the public.” The YMCA proposal, which was shelved in April, would have seen the city cover $17.5 million of the $35-million total cost to build on the former MSA Hospital site on McCallum Road. In addition to providing a recreation facility and swimming pool, the YMCA would have also offered a variety of community outreach programs. Chugh noted the Legacy Pool Project would cost less than the YMCA, and the city would own the asset in the end. Coun. Bill MacGregor, a member of the parks and rec commission, said the pool would be “a tremendous asset to our community,” but noted the potential cost to taxpayers is always an issue. “We’re very supportive of it in theory, but of course, there are big hurdles,” he said. “Such as, how does a constituency like ours pay for it?”

Home invaded Two men have been arrested and another is being sought after a home invasion incident in Abbotsford on Saturday night. At approximately 11 p.m, a 25-year-old man opened the door to his apartment in the 3100 block of Gladwin Road. Three masked suspects brandishing firearms pushed their way in and demanded that the victim turn over cash and guns from a safe inside the suite. The man complied and then jumped from the second-storey balcony in order to escape. He was not seriously injured. Two suspects were arrested in the early morning hours of Sunday, July 21. A 28-year-old man from Coquitlam and a 31-year-old man from Chilliwack were taken into custody by the APD and Chilliwack RCMP respectively. Investigators will be recommending charges of robbery and break and enter against both men.

ARE MY TEETH WORTH IT? HOW MUCH WORK DO YOU NEED TO HAVE DONE? The amount of work that surrounds the wearing of the braces will be a large factor in determining the cost of braces. Some people might need teeth extractions or surgery pre-braces and after braces are removed there will be a retainer to wear.

HOW LONG WILL THE PATIENT NEED TO WEAR BRACES? Some people only need to wear braces for six months to a year. Others need to wear them as long as two and a half years. The longer you wear the braces, the more the cost of the braces will be.

WHAT KIND OF BRACES WILL YOU WEAR?

THE COST OF BRACES If you need braces to straighten your teeth or perhaps for your child, you are probably wondering: how much do braces cost? It’s the most common question, but most difficult to answer because factors such as case difficulty, length of treatment, and possible insurance coverage influence cost. It is impossible to give an exact cost for treatment until a preliminary consultation has taken place and an orthodontic treatment plan has been created. Orthodontic fees are affordable and vary depending on the complexity of the problem, especially if extractions or surgery is necessary. Because every person is different, each case is evaluated independently. During a consultation — we estimate fees and explain what is included and try to ensure that affordability is at the forefront.

Long gone are the days when braces were just metal brackets and wires. Now braces can be made out of ceramic and plastic materials as well as metal. Braces really have come a long way. The material you choose for your braces will affect the amount that you will end up paying for them. The cost of braces should never keep you from achieving the smile you have always wanted and we are here to assist. For more information regarding an orthodontic consultation with Dr. Vishal Sharma, contact Aura Orthodontics.

At Aura Orthodontics, we can help you make the right decision.

Human rights tribunal will hear harm reduction case Complaint filed against city in May Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

Abbotsford will have to defend its harm reduction bylaw to the B.C. Human Rights tribunal. The complaint was filed in May at the same time a civil suit was launched against the city, both aiming to repeal local legislation restricting harm reduction measures. Scott Bernstein of PIVOT Legal Society is representing three individual drug users and the BC/ Yukon Drug War Survivors in both the lawsuit and the complaint. Bernstein said the tribunal has a screening function in which it assesses a complaint to make sure it is within the tribunal’s jurisdiction. They have now accepted the complaint, and it can move forward to the tribunal. The human rights complaint argues that the bylaw is discriminatory against drug users. Bernstein states that medical doctors and the courts view drug dependence as a physical disability, and therefore singling out drug users in

a bylaw is discrimination, as the city does not single out any other disabilities in its bylaws. Bernstein said they are seeking a “systemic remedy,” which would mean repealing the bylaw, and not monetary damages. “We’re looking to have an adjudicative body say, ‘your bylaw is discriminatory, you are acting in a way that is contrary to human rights code.’ ” Berstein said that in the first four months of 2013, 23 people died of drug overdoses in the Fraser Valley, adding that in the last month, eight people in Abbotsford have overdosed. “The bylaw is actually standing in the way of dealing with these things in an effective way.” Abbotsford police issued a warning on Wednesday stating that the city has seen a spike in overdoses, believing this is due to a potent form on heroin currently on the streets. Bernstein said this issue could be addressed, and lives could be saved, through the presence of harm reduction measures in Abbotsford. The city is currently reviewing its harm reduction bylaw.

One attraction that may not endure Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand It was with dismay that we read recently of the impending closure of the renowned, remarkable and marvelous Minter Gardens. Its fate is unknown, at least for now. A subdivision perhaps, the tremendous cedars felled and sawn into shingles or siding? Or possibly a saviour in the form of an economic lifeline from a philanthropic flower fan? Either way, Brian Minter will leave the garden, so to speak, in mid-October as a result of a family decision to concentrate on their nursery and plant sales operations. Minter Gardens, despite Brian’s love of the place, apparently doesn’t fit in the long-term financial plan of the business, so after more than 30 years of presenting the glory of nature, its gates will be finally

locked. A shame, but understandable in a climate that offers little more than three or four months of sunshine that make walking and marveling at the extensive gardens enjoyable. Thus was this Sunday deemed visit time, perhaps for the last occasion, to see the incredible showcase that over three decades Mr. Minter has developed for millions to appreciate. As I pulled off the freeway at Bridal Falls I noticed an old car gleaming in the sunshine, and mused that the gardens might be hosting one of their famed antique car shows. Sure enough, approaching the entrance, the number of vehicles lining nearby streets not only indicated a major attraction but crowds of people. Neither disappointed, and throughout the at-capacity parking lot and within the grounds were some magnificent and some nostalgic machines. A bright red 1955 XK-140 Jag ‘fixed head coupe’ (that’s a hardtop sports car for nonaficionados) got my motor running. A little later an ancient four-door was pointed out: “When I was little my dad drove one

just like this – a 1928 Chrysler ... oh, this one’s a year newer – and I even now am amazed at the size of the back seat!” We also marveled at the size of some of the other “more modern” American machines of the ’50s and ’60s. There was a Buick wagon that I’m sure is as long as

Thus was this Sunday deemed visit time ... to see the incredible showcase Mr. Minter has developed for millions to appreciate. today’s Chevy Suburban, and a pink and black Mercury that probably takes up more parking space than three Smart cars, or the biggest pickup truck. Many of the vehicles were identified as being owned by Abbotsford residents. Jake Friesen had at least six from his local collection on display, many of them painted a wonderful deep burgundy. Either that’s

his favourite colour, or he got a bargain on the paint. Regardless, his ’50s Chrysler and other beauties were spectacular. As were the many British sports cars that caught my eye, including a good number of Minis – the original “truly mini” that stretches just 10 feet bumper to bumper yet accommodated an almost six and a half footer. That was me in my ’63, which sported a full race engine and handled like it was on railway tracks. I also felt a twinge of nostalgia, and not a little regret, at the display of Austin Healeys. That was my final British sports car, one of the last ‘big Healeys’ to roll off the assembly line in 1958. It turned quite a few heads in the 1980s before being sold in 1987 to avoid its constant need of repairs nickel and diming me to death. Fortunately there will always be more ‘old car’ shows over which to reminisce, but there won’t (at least at this time) be another Minter Gardens come October. Take the opportunity to walk through this fabulous attraction one last time. It will, like the cars of yore, create lasting memories. markrushton@abbynews.com

I must have missed the memo that declares that as long as one prefaces oneâ€™s position with â€œthis is not NIMBYism,â€? then any narrow-minded, fearbased, and self-serving statements that follow are exempt from being viewed as NIMBYism. Given the fact that certain ADBA merchants opposed situating the now wildly successful farmersâ€™ market downtown nearly a decade ago, it should come as no surprise that the ADBA â€œblocâ€? is opposed to the 21-unit apartment building for homeless men, and those facing the risk of homelessness. And the ADBA seems to be playing dirty, given the misinformation circulated by the group. I have heard directly from a person whose wife was approached in a downtown restaurant, and told that a â€œhomeless shelterâ€? was being erected right next to the restaurant. The target confidently added her signature to the ADBA petition, and now armed with the facts, is regretting placing her support with the merchants (the project is not next to a restaurant, nor is it a homeless shelter). I wonder: Can the petition itself be deemed null and void due to the means by which the ADBA is securing the signatoriesâ€™ votes? Folks who signed the petition have told me that

Under guise of caring From A9

the residents will be trucked in from outside of Abbotsford, that there is no overnight supervision, that alcohol will be provided to those who want it, that low-barrier equals harm reduction (needle exchanges), and on it goes. Some arguments seem to be offered under the guise of human or fiscal caring; too close to liquor stores (when the homeless already live on the streets downtown and can therefore already access the liquor stores); too close to pubs (failing to recognize

that patronizing these establishments is a working class entitlement); too far from grocery stores (when the downtown food bank will be a key food provider); the project excludes women (when the majority of homeless folks in Abbotsford are men, and a housing project for women and children already exists in Abbotsford); too expensive to build (when the building standards are set by BC Housing, the key funder). NIMBYism by any other name is still NIMBYism. Stacey Corriveau, Abbotsford

Man dies fixing car Victim trapped under vehicle An Abbotsford man has died after an accident that occurred while he was working on his car on Friday afternoon. Assistant Fire Chief Dave Rivett said fire, police and ambulance crews responded at about 12:30 p.m. to reports that a man was trapped under a vehicle. The call came in from the man’s wife, who had been out and arrived home to find her husband pinned under the car, Rivett said. He said crews had to use the Jaws of Life to lift the vehicle off the man. The incident took place on a property on the 31000 block of Downes Road between Mt. Lehman and Ross roads. An air ambulance was called, and crews performed CPR as the helicopter arrived, but the air ambulance did not transport him. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said the 51-year-old man died en route to hospital. His name has not been released.

Victim of shooting stays mum Abbotsford News

A 30-year-old man who was wounded in what police believe was a targeted shooting on the afternoon of July 15 in Abbotsford has failed to provide police with details about the incident. Const. Ian MacDonald said police found out about the shooting when they received a call from the hospital that a man had shown up with a gunshot wound (or wounds). The victimâ€™s injuries were non-life-threatening, and MacDonald could not comment on the specifics, including how many times he had been shot. The victim, who MacDonald said has had previous â€œnegative interactionsâ€? with police, provided only vague information about the incident. MacDonald said the man indicated he was driving somewhere between 264 Street and Mt. Lehman Road north of Highway 1 at about 2:30 p.m. when he was shot. The call from the hospital came about 25 minutes later.

Police believe the shooting took place somewhere along that stretch of Downes Road. The man was driving his black GMC pickup at the time. It is not known whether there were other people in the vehicle with him. MacDonald said the victim would not provide any details on the possible identity of the shooters; whether they were in a vehicle and, if so, what kind; and how many people were involved. MacDonald said the shooting is believed to be related to gangs and/or drugs, but itâ€™s too early to tell if there are any connections to the fatal shooting of Harpreet Chahal on June 23. Chahal, 25, was killed in a drive-by shooting at South Fraser Way and Emerson Street. He is an associate of Jujhar Khun-Khun, who is one of three people charged with the August 2011 murder of Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna. Investigators are now seeking witnesses in Mondayâ€™s shooting, including anyone who might have seen the victim driving or any suspicious people or vehicles in the area.

Cards show heart, rally past Reds Final Four tourney at DeLair Park this weekend

Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Heading into their firstround playoff series against the Coquitlam Reds, the Abbotsford Cardinals found themselves in a unique position where winning wasn’t absolutely essential. By virtue of their status as hosts of the B.C. Premier Baseball League’s Final Four tournament (July 26-28 at DeLair Park), the Cards knew they’d be advancing regardless. If the Reds prevailed, the Final Four would simply become a Final Five to accommodate the host squad. It’s a tribute, then, to the Cards’ mental toughness that they outlasted Coquitlam, particularly since the Reds gave them plenty of opportunities to pack it in. “I’m kind of speechless,” marveled Emilio Foden, one of the Abby club’s many heroes on the weekend. “It’s a really good feeling. It shows we can win as a team.” The No. 5-seeded Reds opened the best-of-three series at DeLair with a clinical 4-0 win on Saturday, as pitcher Curtis Taylor limited No. 4 seed Abbotsford to one measly hit while striking out nine batters over seven innings. In the back half of the doubleheader, Cards starter Foden engaged his Coquitlam counterpart Ryan Mose in an epic pitchers’ duel, and neither team could muster a run as the game stretched to

Foden, over his eight innings, surrendered just four hits and no walks with 10 strikeouts. Mose, meanwhile, pitched into the 10th, and it was then that the Cards finally mustered some offence. It started innocently enough, as four Reds players converged on Liam Kano-McGregor’s pop fly, but they all stood aside and watched the ball hit the grass. Run-scoring hits by Jae Kim and Coleton Besse followed. Daniel Koo, who had come on in relief of Foden, shut the Reds down in the bottom of the 10th to seal a 2-0 victory. The Cards got more terrif-

ic pitching in Sunday’s rubber match from Kano-McGregor, who kept Coquitlam off the board for six innings. Abby made its offensive push in the fifth, as Tanner Rempel hit a two-run double and Kim drove him in with a single. Riley Salter’s sac fly stretched the lead to 4-0 in the sixth. It marked the Cardinals’ first-ever playoff series win at the senior level, and they’re carrying major momentum into the Final Four. “I’ll be smiling from ear to ear for a while,” Abby coach Corey Eckstein said with a grin. “I’m happy for the kids.” For more coverage, including a Final Four schedule, visit abbynews.com

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

H O U S I N G M AT T E R S

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

The Rebels finished off the Indians on Saturday, winning 11-8 at Kensington Arena in Burnaby. Shaun McRae was the offensive hero, racking up four goals, while Kelly, Kristian Amyote-Kilger and Jordan Hernandez potted two goals apiece. â€œHard work, thatâ€™s what it came down to,â€? Rebels coach Jim Nishiyama said, noting that his team dressed just 16 of a possible 18

runners on Saturday. â€œWe worked really hard both games. â€œGuys were tired, we lost a couple guys to injury, but everybody just kept stepping up and took it to them. It was a tough series.â€? The Rebels move on to face the Ladner Pioneers in the bestof-five semis. Game 1 goes tonight (Tuesday, July 23) at 8 p.m. at the Ladner Leisure Centre. â€œWith Ladner, you have to stay out of the penalty box, because their power play is ridiculously good,â€? Nishiyama said. â€œAll five guys can shoot the ball from anywhere on the floor.â€?

Dredge, Lilly Anne (Patsy) Lilly (Patsy) passed away peacefully July 13, 2013, in Langley, BC at the age of 89. Patsy was born in Mannville, Alberta in 1923 and moved to Vancouver in 1948 after she married. She worked many years for BC Tel and Sears and after her retirement in 1988, Patsy became an active member and entry judge in numerous flower and garden clubs winning many awards and ribbons for her entries. She also volunteered many years for Meals on Wheels. Patsy was a loving wife, sister, aunt, and friend and will be missed by all.

She is predeceased by her husband, Kenneth Lloyd Dredge, her parents, Alexander and Mary Ida Clark, her brother, Douglas Clark, and sisters, Eileen Kortgaard and Ina Good. Our many thanks go out to all the staff at Magnolia Gardens and Cornerstone Care Society for their love and care during her final years.
