Bigger and better family fun!

T

he eighth annual Historic Downtown Abbotsford Car Show is back bigger than ever with more parking for the classic cars and hot rods, plus a new location for the free stage show at the intersection of West Railway and Essendene. This layout is the same as for the Berrybeat Festival. Folks are invited to visit many of the unique and trendy stores and restaurants located throughout downtown. Great food and hospitality are just steps away from the cars on display: a great family outing!

On stage and back by popular demand is the Blues Brothers Too, plus headlining the

Cam Hutchins photos stage again this year is David James’ “Almost Johnny Cash” and the Big River Band – Todd Sacerty, Colin Stevenson and Duncan Symonds.

These song-and-dance tribute stars, with their high energy and antics, will not only be performing on stage but throughout the streets of Downtown Abbotsford.

Blues Brothers Too performs signature songs, moves, and routines that will have you dancing in the street.

David James’ “Almost Johnny Cash” with the Big River Band has performed for sold-out audiences throughout Canada and parts of the

U.S. Their main purpose is to perform and present the recordings of Johnny Cash, in the style and sound of the “Man In Black” himself.

When you hear that familiar mighty voice and legendary deep dark tones, close your eyes and dare to compare.

Opening this stage show this year and no stranger to the folks in the Fraser Valley, nor the Lower Mainland, is Randy Ketting-Oliver.

One of his first appearances was on stage at the PNE at 11 years old. In the early days, he played and travelled, living out of a suitcase, with a number of bands.

He played for a number of years on CBC

Radio and also with the Irish Rovers. His band “The Mainlanders” was once the youngest group/band to play the nightclub circuit thoughout B.C. Along with a full-time career as music director for a church in Yarrow, Ketting-Oliver can be heard during the week at Chances gaming centre in Abbotsford.

The car show also features the popular “The Lee’s Jewellery Poker Walk” once again – an opportunity to visit and say hello to the merchants /owners of the unique stores in Historic Downtown Abbotsford and the chance to win great prizes, including a silver necklace from Brian Lee of Lee’s Fine Jewellery.

HUB MOTOR SERVICE (SIEMENS GARAGE LTD.) ESTABLISHED IN 1954 33839 ESSENDENE AVENUE

604-853-2352

at Gladys Avenue in Historic Downtown Abbotsford

Inspired by the life of a young boy named Matthew Story by

VIKKI HOPES

P

roceeds from the Historic Downtown Abbotsford Car Show will go to Matthew’s House, a facility that will provide respite care for children who live with complex health-care needs.

The facility is currently under construction as part of the Dave Lede Campus of Care project underway on Marshall Road adjacent to Abbotsford Regional Hospital.

Matthew’s House is slated to open this October.

Construction crews are working on exterior finishing, while inside, crews are mudding and taping drywall and installing in-floor heating.

Suppliers, architects, tradespeople and engineers have all contributed gifts of skill, time and resources to make this dream a reality.

Matthew’s House was founded by Andrea and Doug Froese, whose son Matthew was born with severe brain damage and had many physical challenges.

Matthew was confined to a wheelchair, and the Froeses wanted to provide a place where parents could get a break from the challenges of raising a child with severe disabilities.

Matthew’s House became part of the Campus of Care project in early 2010. Sadly, Matthew passed away in August of that year at the age of nine, but his legacy lives on.

Up to five children at a time will be cared for in a state-of-the-art residence staffed by experienced caregivers.

Medical necessities – such as full wheelchair accessibility and overhead track systems for transferring – will be complemented by a multi-sensory playroom and an outdoor playground.

Overnight guest suites will allow family to remain close while taking a step back to refresh themselves.

Matthew’s House is facilitated by Communitas Supportive Care Society, an Abbotsford-based service agency.

The home is funded completely through the generous support of individuals and community partners.

The Campus of Care also includes the Abbotsford Hospice Society’s Holmberg House – an adult hospice – and Canuck Place Children’s Hospice.

ooking for great exercise and a chance to meet new people and win prizes?

The Historic Downtown Abbotsford Car Show is working closely with 20 downtown merchants to elevate the 'fun factor' and once again provide excitement to this year’s show!

Participants simply need to register at the main booth on the corner of Essendene and Montrose Avenues between 10 am and Noon.

Upon registration, they will be handed a list of all 20 stores involved with the walk. Each store will be identified with a special Poker Walk poster displayed in their window.

"The idea is to have fun and visit some of the many stores in Historic Downtown Abbotsford. The concept was originated to entertain the wives or girlfriends of the Car Show participants displaying their vehicles during the day. Due to the success in past years it was opened to the public," says Bob King show organizer.

There is a great prize to be won! Brian Lee of Lee's Fine Jewellery has donated a handmade sterling silver necklace with matching earrings for the best poker hand. A $440 retail value. Second and third place hands will each win a $100 cash.

It all happens this coming Saturday in Downtown Abbotsford! See you downtown for

ar show enthusiasts are in for a special treat at this year’s show! For those who are interested, you may indulge in assaulting your senses at the cacklefest demonstrations during the day.

What is a cacklefest? It is a symphony of a number of nitro-burning dragsters, simultaneously firing together while sucking nitro methane at the pace of a jetliner!

The term ‘cackle’ refers to the sound of nitro methane as it burns and explodes in the combustion chambers of

the big blocks as they idle at about 2000 RPM. Kelowna resident and oldtime racer, Mike Schewe, will be attending this year’s show with his trusted top fuel dragster ‘Dirty Edna’. Although his performance will not include any other dragsters firing at the same time, Mike assures us the feeling will be much the same. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the thunder, smell and vibration of a 7000 horsepower beast, which you most often only see or hear about on TV. We run them

just to make some noise and remind people of how the sport used to be – take them on a nostalgia trip,” Schewe says.

“Dirty Edna” is powered by a 500 Hemi with all the bells and whistles normally used by the pros. The only real difference is the dragster is not ‘race ready’ by the terms of NHRA”, says Schewe. “Their cars require the big bucks and crews to keep up with all the standards needed to be part of their association and safety technology required to go over 320 miles per hour”.

Sound of Music hits the right note Serving the community's musical needs for decades

F

or more than 15 years, Sound of Music has been a hub of activity in Abbotsford’s historic downtown. But the company’s history goes even farther back.

Since 1965, Sound of Music has had seventeen different locations at different times from Victoria to Abbotsford, including a location in Seven Oaks Mall from 1974 to 1996. The family owned business bought their current location in 1998, a building in the downtown and that is where they will always be.

Fifteen year’s later, the remaining location of the academy and store continues to thrive and plays a vital role in the revitalization of the downtown core, striving to bring more families into the area for lessons and instruments.

“A business like this…things change, and it has to be reinvented,” said Dean Irving, owner of

Sound of Music, “We’ve done that three times, and it will happen again.”

Sound of Music’s academy has ten instructors on staff who teach a variety of instruments in all styles. Lessons are tailored to the students own musical tastes. Students will learn the style of music they enjoy listening to, if that is what they want to learn.

No matter what their students want to learn or how accomplished they are the teachers will help them achieve their goals. Our system of teaching is constantly adapting to the new styles of learning and creating innovative ways to encourage practice from our students. Stop in at the academy for a walk through if you or anyone you know quit lessons because “it wasn’t fun”, Sound of Music strives to make every lesson a fun experience.

“Music helps the brain,” said Kathryn. “In a

12 Years Experience in Fast Lube Business Warranty Approved

Friendly Service

U.S. survey, it was shown that of the 95 per cent of people who don’t play an instrument, 85 per cent of them wish they could have learned and that 70 per cent of all people could – if given lessons – learn to play well enough to participate in a community orchestra” In addition to a state of the art academy Sound of Music is a music store with deep roots. After 47 years in the business the staff at the shop know the ins and outs of everything they sell, from guitar strings to sound systems. If you have always wondered why different guitars sound different, or why on earth anyone would pay thousands of dollars for a violin when there are $159 packages available just pop in and ask. The Sound of Music team is always happy to share what they know with you.

Anyone who has visited the downtown area will have noticed the eye-catching storefront,

designed to both draw the public’s attention and advertise the musical services. A quick tour of the facility can catch people off guard. The building is huge and consists of room after room filled with all sorts of musical equipment. Don’t just stop at the front, ask for a tour of the whole building.

Stop by Sound of Music for a quick visit if you are in the market for a musical instrument, or music lessons, or know of anyone else who is.

They sell all manner of instruments so if you are in the market for a guitar for your 6 year old, are a professional player, or are looking for a new sound system for your church be sure to stop in and check out what they have to offer.

Sound of Music is not just a store that sells instruments, and provides music lessons; It’s an experience not to be missed.

SEE YOU AT THE HISTORIC DOWNTOWN ABBOTSFORD CAR SHOW!

There’s hope for the ’71 Cutlass Supreme Story by

TINA STEWART,

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ABBY DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ASSOC

I

t’s Carshow time in Historic Downtown Abbotsford. This year marks the 8th year for this event in our Downtown. Last year it became apparent that the event was bursting at the seams, so in response we have expanded the site to accommodate almost twice as many classic cars and hot rods.

Come down and check out the vintage vehicles and fabulous hot rods on Montrose and Essendene Avenues Saturday, August 24th from 9am-3pm. You’ll find hundreds of gorgeous vehicles, non-stop free entertainment on stage, The Lee’s Jewellery Poker Walk and amazing deals in our restaurants, shops and boutiques.

I must admit that until I met my husband 7 years ago and saw the “connection” he has with his 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible (and he made sure I got all that absolutely correct), I didn’t really understand the whole hot rod/classic car world. Then we got married and became the “Brady Bunch” and were looking for a home to house our 5 children, like that wasn’t hard enough. Suddenly, I realized we also had to house his baby, the Oldsmobile. It all started to sink in. This car was truly a member of the family.

It was the car his dad had given him when he was 14, they spent 2 years working on it

together. We can all imagine the memories that car holds for him. He tells me the car has a “throaty exhaust” and had an awesome stereo so he had personalized plates made that read “IM LOUD1”.

The car is Jim’s first love. Jim moved 3500km away from his car for 15 years, but the love remained. His father kept his car for him and when his dad passed away, Jim had the car shipped to Canada. When I met Jim, and we were taking the step to join our families, it was pretty obvious I was going to have to take him with the car or not at all. Not being a car person myself, I didn’t really get it, his car is far from driveable now, and probably not worth the money to fix it, but the memories invested in her won’t allow him to give her up just yet.

I’m pretty sure that late at night sometimes, he sneaks into the garage and just sits in the car and talks to her. Maybe making promises that one day he’ll fix her up again. He hauls out old pictures, like they are baby pictures and shows off how wonderful she looked.

Honestly, in my untrained eyes, she looks exactly the same, she just doesn’t run. I have seen her run, when he has his buddies over and they do some fancy work, they can get her humming and rumbling, but certainly not street worthy. Who knows, maybe one day she will be sitting in the Historic Downtown Abbotsford Carshow and he can really show her off.

A street rod named “Merlot” Story by

CAM HUTCHINS

D

ennis Kasper had a ’33 Roadster that Lyons wanted to buy and finish, but he could not convince Kasper to part with it.

After waiting him out a year, Kasper’s attention fell on a Oldsmobile, so a deal was struck. After driving the ’33 extensively, including a road trip incorporating Puyallup, Spokane and Pleasanton, the building bug hit again.

Lyons decided he wanted a 1951 Mercury convertible, and went searching for the right car. The prices seemed too high, and with the lack of aftermarket parts, his search was widened to other convertibles. At a swap meet in 2004, Lyons saw an unfinished 1940 Ford Convertible Wescott body in the parking area. The owner’s stall number was wrong so it took some major detective work to find the owner. Lyons was told it was totally complete and just needed final assembly and paint.

The price was too high, so Lyons went home without the car, but after thinking it over for a couple of days and deciding to sell the ’33 Roadster, he called up the owner and offered just enough extra to buy the car. The car was complete with all the parts required to finish the car and the seller

had been into street rods for years, but had just finished restoring a Mustang and wanted to get out of street rods, so many parts were given to Lyons.

It had a partially-boxed Ford frame which had been tubbed and had a Ford nine-inch rear-end with coilover shocks, a 351 Windsor with C6 tranny and Mustang II front end within small disc brakes. Wiring harness, gauges, and a new Wise Guy Seat and three grilles were provided – an Alumicraft custom grille was installed, also a ’39 grill from Bob Drake, and a ’39-’40 three-piece grille cast in pewter that needed to be chromed.

Lyons looked at the assembly of pieces and the primered body and sold everything except the frame, rear-end, front suspension, Wiseguy seat and the body. Starting with a relatively clean slate, or at least a primered slate, he started to look for the correct pieces.

Flush with cash from the sale of the parts, Lyons went looking for the correct parts to build a very cool ride.

He was lucky to find a race-prepared 302 mill with fuel injection, blower and a OAD transmission for a great price. The block was about the only Ford part and all the rest of the engine was the best performance/race parts available. The coilovers were gone, replaced with Shockwave by Air-

ride Technologies. Twelve-inch fourpiston drilled-and-slotted Wilwood brakes provided the stopping, and the original ’40 Ford frame was now complete.

The body was getting its share of work, and this particular Westcott body had been originally purchased by an enthusiast who bought all the first pressings of the Wescott factory. It was a custom body, having been channeled three inches and the hood sectioned

JIM LYONS

2.5 inches to give it a better look. The fenders were shortened (bobbed) and the running boards removed from the design. The original owner was getting on in years, then sold it.

Lyons liked the look of the car, but liked running boards better, so he bought some steel ones from the Old Car Centre. Of course, the running boards did not fit, as the body was lowered over the frame during the

channeling process. Lyons fabricated special brackets to attach the running boards to the frame and Ron Latham, with his fiberglass skills, took the fenders and fixed the fiberglass to fit the running boards.

Being a local dealer for American Autowire, he used a Highway 22 kit with keyless entry, shaved handles, power windows and power-actuated trunk, and he customized the dash with TP1-Tech instruments gauges. He choose a Budnik Banjo Billet steering wheel that was wrapped in the same material as the seats.

The many months agonizing over the correct paint choice ended when Lyons and his wife were having a glass of Merlot wine. While lifting the glasses to toast, the sun shone through the glass and they both were hooked.

Previously, they had explored two-tone and three-tone paints, and tans with a dark roof, but after conferring with their painter Johnny Guenther, he assured them the colour they wanted was Candy Brandy Wine.

Hence the car came to be called “Merlot”. Guenther had recently painted a car this colour and it was available from House of Kolor over either a black, gold, silver or white base.

Again, the peanut gallery piped up with warnings that dark burgundies

had been done to death. Many hours pouring over websites full of street rods assured Jim his choice was solid and the car would look stunning with the black base.

The interior was left to the capable hands of Ron Fast, but not before more meddling from the “Gang”.

Lyons wanted a burgundy interior and the naysayers cried foul and suggested every colour under the sun before a brown shade was chosen, but Lyons’ wife Elinore held her ground and the burgundy vinyl seems to please everyone now and even fools many into thinking it is leather.

A fine Dark German Weave carpet accents the black Hartz cloth roof another choice hard fought for, but finalized after seeing a Willy’s online that was a similar colour with a black roof. The roof latches are available from Wescott, but Lyons’ brother-inlaw Doug Esau machined a perfect set of latches out of billet aluminum.

The car was finished in 2009, and has been driven to the L.A. Roadster Show and the interior of B.C. many times and has won several awards, but Lyons pondered the drivability of the high-performance 302. After driving many of his customers’ cars after wiring them, he decided to go the a late-model 5.3 Litre LS engine.
