Former economic manager sues Suit alleges firing an effort to get rid of senior staff Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

A lawsuit against the City of Abbotsford from a former manager alleges he was wrongfully dismissed as part of a concerted effort to remove the city’s senior employees. Jay Teichroeb left his position as general manager of economic development in June. A notice of civil claim was filed in B.C. Supreme Court in Kelowna on June 27, listing Teichroeb as a TEICHROEB plaintiff in a wrongful dismissal claim against the city. The claim states that the city manager – George Murray – notified Teichroeb in writing around June 17 that he would be fired with cause for an alleged “breach of fidelity.” The city claimed that Teichroeb had authorized a property developer to start construction without a building permit. The documents state that Teichroeb de-

nied the allegation, and in response, the city alleged he was being dishonest about the incident. While denying that Teichroeb provided the authorization for the construction, the suit states that even if the allegation was true, it is not just cause for termination. The suit maintains that the city could have, by reasonable investigation, determined the allegation was false, but that the city failed to properly and fairly investigate the claim against him. MURRAY The suit states that alleging Teichroeb was dishonest is “false and unjustified” and an attack on his reputation. The statement of claim also describes the city’s actions as “harsh, vindictive, reprehensible and malicious.” The suit claims that Teichroeb’s dismissal was not based on the city’s honest belief in the allegations, but rather “was part of an improper course of conduct designed to dismiss the senior employees of the

(City of Abbotsford).” The claim states that the city misrepresented its reasons for his dismissal, and was “fabricated by the (City of Abbotsford) for an ulterior purpose.” In addition to Teichroeb, general manager of finance Pat Soanes left city hall in June. In July, manager of bylaw enforcement Gordon Ferguson left his position. Documents obtained by the Abbotsford News through Freedom of Information requests revealed that Soanes received $88,550 as a settlement agreement, while Ferguson did not receive any compensation following his departure. Teichroeb had worked at city hall for over 12 years – acting as general manager of economic development since 2009 – and will be seeking compensation for his losses. The allegations have not been proven in court and online court records show the city has not yet filed a response. The News contacted Murray, who said he is unable to comment on personnel matters or issues that are before the courts. Teichroeb is now working for the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada.

Dog injured in fight with bear

Creature climbed six-foot-high fence to get into yard Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

SHOWSALEEVENT

Patty Marciano was sitting on the upper back porch of her home in the Auguston area of Abbotsford last Wednesday with her beloved dog Cyrus when she caught sight of something black moving near her yard. At first, she thought it was a raccoon rustling through the dense brush beyond the sixfoot-high chain link fence bordering her backyard. Before she could verify the source of the sound, Cyrus – a five-year-old pit bull mix – raced down the stairs and to the lower tier of the backyard. Marciano chased after him, just in time to see Cyrus run toward a black bear that had jumped the fence. The two animals began fighting, but the 60-pound dog was no match for the bear – about four times his size. The bear pinned Cyrus to the ground. Marciano began striking the bear on the head with a shovel, and it took about four or five hits before the creature released its grip on Cyrus. The dog scrambled free, and Marciano ran after him as the bear chased them both. They

Marciano immediately scooped up her badly bleeding dog, loaded him into her truck and sped to Whatcom Road Veterinary Hospital. Cyrus was suffering from deep gashes on his head, chest and shoulder.

lives on Auguston Parkway East – in the Auguston development on Sumas Mountain, and bears are spotted there on occasion, but Marciano thought her fenced property was protected. A neighbour told her that the bear in question is a mother with two cubs. Marciano said the cubs must have been waiting on the other side of the fence at the time of the attack, but she didn’t see them in the midst of the chaos. She worries that pets or small children could be attacked. “If Cyrus had been a different type of breed, I don’t think he would have made it,” Marciano said. Const. Ian MacDonald said the Abbotsford Police Department has received “a solid half dozen” reports of bears this summer in areas such as Wells Gray Avenue, DeLair Park and Whatcom Road. He said police in these situations will try to scare the bear away from public areas and, if they are unable to do so, the provincial Conservation Officer Service is called.

Cyrus was able to go home later that night and is expected to make a full recovery, although Marciano said he is traumatized by the incident. “He’s been lying beside me all day,” she said the day after the attack. Cyrus has also been hesitant to go in the backyard, although he did venture out there briefly with Marciano. She is sharing her story as a cautionary tale for others. She

Two shot on Ponderosa Street

Police say victims have no gang or drug connections Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Abbotsford Police are trying to piece together why two men with no apparent drug or gang connections were shot at while driving along Ponderosa Street early Thursday morning. Const. Ian MacDonald said the 19- and 28-year-old, who were wounded in the shooting, have been co-operating with police. “We have had very minimal (previous) contact with the two victims. We would not put them in the category of gangs or drugs by any stretch,” he said. MacDonald said the pair were “very fortunate” to

have sustained only non-lifethreatening injuries in the incident, but added that they are still recovering from gunshot wounds. The two were driving in the area of Ponderosa Street and Ponderosa Place at about 1:20 a.m. when they were shot at by a passing vehicle. MacDonald said it is not yet known how many shots were fired, although police recovered several shell casings. The victims are residents of west Abbotsford, but do not live in the area of the shooting, he said. MacDonald said investigators are interviewing witnesses and hope to obtain footage from video surveillance cameras installed at

homes in the area to get a description of the culprit(s) and the suspect vehicle, which sped away from the scene. APD’s major crime unit, patrol division, forensic identification unit, and collision reconstructionists are continuing to investigate. Anyone with information is asked to call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604859-5225, text 222973 (abbypd) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. This is the third shooting in Abbotsford this summer. Harpreet Chahal, 25, was killed June 23 in a drive-by shooting at the intersection of South Fraser Way and Emerson Street. Police have identified that

incident as a targeted gangrelated hit. On July 15, alleged Abbotsford gangster Brian “Shrek” Dhaliwal, an alleged former associate of Jarrod Bacon, was shot at while he was driving along Downes Road between 264 Street and Mt. Lehman Road. He showed up at the hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, and hospital staff called police. At the time, police said the victim in the incident was not providing many details. Dhaliwal has been the target of prior incidents, prompting police to set up video surveillance cameras in the vicinity of his Bradner Road home last October.

Police seeking to identify robbery suspect Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

Police are looking for assistance to identify a suspect in a robbery and attempted robbery in July. At 9 p.m. on Saturday, July 20, a cab driver was called to the Bourquin bus exchange to meet a fare. The 52-year-old driver picked up the man and drove only a few blocks before the suspect pulled a knife and demanded money.

The suspect fled with a small amount of cash. Const. Ian MacDonald said police obtained surveillance video from the Bourquin bus exchange, showing a man at the location a few minutes before he entered the taxi. Police have released still images, showing a cleanshaven Caucasian man in his 20s, about 5’10”, with short dark hair. He was wearing black pants, a black hoodie,

Suspect sought

white shoes and a patterned grey shirt. MacDonald said police believe the suspect fits the description of a man involved in an attempted robbery that occurred five days earlier. On July 15, a man entered a gas station on the 2900 block of Immel at around 10:45 p.m., pulled out a knife and demanded cash. There were three people in the store, two employees and a customer.

MacDonald said that after the suspect pulled the knife, a “66-year-old male employee grabs a golf club and chases the guy from the store.” Anyone with information about these incidents or the suspect in the surveillance photos should call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604859-5225, text 222973 (abbypd) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Liberals outspend competition in local ridings Alex BUTLER and Jeff NAGEL Abbotsford News

Liberal party candidates raised and spent more money than their competition in Abbotsford’s ridings this year, en route to winning each of the three local seats in the legislature in May’s provincial election. Financial reports, released last week by Elections BC, show the income and expenditures of each provincial candidate. In Abbotsford West, Liberal MLA Michael de Jong won reelection, securing a fifth term in the legislaDE JONG ture. His total campaign budget was $175,978, including $45,800 in political contributions and $126,628 in transfers from affiliated organizations such as the Liberal Party and the local riding association. The total expenditure reported was $137,410. Sukhi Dhami, the NDP candidate, and Moe Gill, running as an independent, were among 10 candidates in the province who failed to file their financial re-

ports by the deadline set out in the Election Act. The reports may be filed by Sept. 11, with a late filing fee of $500. The riding’s Conservative candidate, Paul Redekopp, had a total campaign income of $51,870, with only $40 coming from transfers and the rest in political contributions. His total expenditures were listed at $79,330. Green Party candidate Stephen O’Shea had $2,080, including $180 in political contributions and $1,900 in transJHAJ fers. In Abbotsford South, Liberal candidate Darryl Plecas ousted incumbent and independent MLA John van Dongen, putting an end to his 18-year political career. Plecas had a total campaign budget of $106,292, with $12,978 in political contributions and $91,523 in transfers. Van Dongen’s campaign funding was $81,776, with $9,800 and $71,725 in transfers. Plecas reported his total expenditures as $109,716, while van Dongen

spent $81,776. Lakhvinder Jhaj, NDP candidate for the riding, received a total of $48,721, with $29,211 in contributions and $19,260 in transfers. In Abbotsford-Mission, Abbotsford city councillor and newly-elected Liberal MLA Simon Gibson received $59,460, including $3,040 in political contributions and $54,629 in transfers. Following him was NDP candidate Preet Rai with $47,306 including $16,688 in political contributions and $30,366 in GIBSON transfers. Green Party candidate Aird Flavelle had a total of $3,377, with $500 in contributions and $2,877 in transfers, and Conservative candidate Don Stahl had an income of $5,021, with $4,301 coming from political contributions and $720 in transfers. Gibson’s total expenses were $59,757, while Rai spent $49,563 on his campaign. Across the province, the BC Liberals spent $11.75 million this year on their way to victory.

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I Tuesday, August 27, 2013

A public right to know Through a Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy request, The News was recently able to shed light on the financial details involved in the departure of three senior city managers. That information was of importance, since the termination or even voluntary resignation of high-ranking civil servants is commonly accompanied with compensation packages, frequently involving six-figure sums. In the case of the City of Abbotsford’s finance manager Pat Soanes, who left in June, the settlement was $88,550, climbing to just over $100,000 when vacation pay and remaining wages are included. Bylaw enforcement manager Gordon Ferguson, who left in July, received $28,102, with no settlement. The true cost of the June departure of Jay Teichroeb, general manager of economic development and planning, is yet to be seen, since he received only $18,796, without a compensation package. We now know that Teichrob is suing the city for

wrongful dismissal. If an out-of-court settlement does not occur, a judge will eventually determine if Teichroeb’s termination was justified, or whether the city must pay damages. In either case, the amount is likely to be substantial. That’s a concerning question for taxpayers, but it is outweighed by another one – far more basic. An FOI request should not have been required to obtain the financial details regarding these three city hall employees. Their salaries, benefits and any departing compensation and costs are paid entirely from public money. Abbotsford taxpayers have the right to know all of those details – quickly, as a matter of city policy – without having to wait for the media to utilize provincial legislation to compel the release of what is clearly public information. There’s been much political talk about transparency and accountability at city hall. In this respect, let’s see it.

Preserving for posterity a challenge Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand If you are into Facebook, Twitter and other social media connections, you know how tempting it is to share your exploits with others. Nothing like showing off to friends your current travel adventures via upto-the-minute pictures, perhaps gloating a bit about the induced envy you are creating by doing something they aren’t, or can’t. What people forget, however, in a desire to share everything almost as it happens is to reveal where you are, and the vulnerability of where you aren’t – like a vacant home with all your valuables sitting unwatched. Perhaps you can trust your friends, but often your information goes far beyond what you expect. For example, your friends are at an event and are asked

your whereabouts. The problem is that others can, and do, overhear the conversation. Then over a beer in the local bar, your absence could be discussed once again – as in “did you know that guy who lives two doors down from me is off on another European vacation?” Again the conversation can be overheard, this time perhaps by one who has nefarious intentions. It doesn’t take rocket science to figure out where someone lives nor, with a keen ear, if they’re home or not. So, if you are intent on sharing your adventures, do it after you return home. Might take a little blush off the rose of ego, so to speak, but at least you aren’t telling the world “My home is alone and waiting to be pillaged.” The upside to vacation photos shared on social media is that when you visit friends you can easily decline an invitation to sit through endless slides of them standing in front of statues by simply saying “Thanks but we’ve already seen them on Facebook.” (Little white lies can save a whole bunch of boredom).

Then again, who takes slides these days, or for that matter, has real pictures that go into a family photo album? Virtually every photo taken today is electronic, either on a phone or camera, the images downloaded to a computer to be displayed, and almost as quickly forgotten. Gone will be the ability to share old

Gone will be the ability to share old photos with future generations... photos with future generations because unless those pictures were archived on a disc that was not somehow lost, and the technology of the day can still “read” them, hard copies of memories past will be gone forever. In my basement rest a number of old family albums that haven’t been opened for eons, and may never be ... upon my demise tossed with all the other detri-

tus hoarded over the years. Within those pages are pictures of grandparents and great-grandparents and other relatives. Hopefully they will be retained so future generations can figure out why they look a certain way, and from which side of the family came the prominent genes. Perhaps too, one day one of my grandchildren will show a wrinkled and faded photo of a long-haired hippie-like guy to their children, explaining that was what their grandfather looked like when he was young. Reality though, in this clutter-less society that we are developing, is that those photos, and most of the history of families will be relegated to the dump, the past only co njured through Google or Wikipedia or some such future information access source, and only if you’ve done something worthy of being recorded for posterity on the worldwide web. That loss, for the sake of all your generations to come, would be a shame.

Atheists are all right It was great to see your recent write-up about some atheists in Abbotsford lending a hand alongside the 5 and 2 Ministries. I suppose one side “imagines no religion� and the other thinks we need more, but their squabble ends there. They both agree to love their neighbors (even the ones without housing). I like it. And if they are just looking for some good press, is that any more despicable than a Christian doing it simply for high marks with the Lord? I say no. If all they want is to

Someone needs to remember that Canadians need help, too. Not that it means much, but you have my blessing, Fraser Valley Atheists. I hope you keep it up, even when the newspaper reporter isn’t around.

I’d like to thank all the patient drivers that were on Whatcom Road last Sunday morning, (Aug. 18). When running with my nine month old puppy (that is still in the training stage) the leash slipped out of my hand and she took the opportunity to investigate the two lane road for what felt like forever. There were many patient drivers that stopped and waited while I tried to coax my puppy back to me; she evidently thought it was a fun game. Thank you to everyone that waited patiently while I tried to put an end to my very frustrating and very embarrassing situation. I can only imagine how awful I would have felt if drivers started to honk and get impatient! Thank you! Colleen Leslie

Salmon poaching Shutdown creates demand Fisheries officers have doubled their patrols on the lower Fraser River to battle poachers who are illegally catching threatened sockeye salmon to sell into the black market. All fishing for sockeye has been shut down in response to a low run size and dangerously high river temperatures to ensure as many of the salmon get upriver to spawn as possible. But Department of Fisheries and Oceans area director Herb Redekopp said the “full-out conservation closure� hasn’t deterred illegal fishing on the river. “Last night we ran into another group of poachers,� he said Friday, adding officers made arrests and seized illegally caught salmon, gear and a boat. He said eight vessels had been seized as of Friday, along with 50 nets, and 27 investigations are in progress that have or are expected to result in charges under the Fisheries Act. The most intense illegal fishing is happening between Surrey and Spuzzum, in various hot spots around Agassiz, Chilliwack and the Fraser Canyon. No commercial or recreational fishing for sockeye has been allowed this year. Pent-up demand for sockeye has driven prices up and prompted much more illegal fishing than in past years, Redekopp said. “There’s a huge illegal marketplace for black market salmon.�

Mayors make car-wash bet

You have it in you!

Alex Butler

Abbotsford News

Mayor Bruce Banman said when it comes time for Mission’s mayor to wash one of his cars, he’ll pick whichever one is dirtiest. Mayor Ted Adlem issued Banman a friendly challenge in support of the My Health My Community project launched by Vancouver Coastal Health, Fraser Health and the eHealth Strategy Office. Whichever mayors’ com-

Q: Is there anything I can do to treat the fine lines under my eyes? A: Yes! We are very excited to offer a new procedure called Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). PRP works by concentrating platelets and fibrin from your own blood and reinjecting it at a particular site to correct a targeted skin imperfection, such as fine lines and wrinkles. The skin looks rejuvenated and skin tone and texture is improved! The procedure takes 45 minutes and is completed in 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. It is effective for treating dark circles & fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes; chest and cleavage wrinkles & neck lines to name a few.

munity has the lowest percentage of respondents to an online survey will wash the other’s car. “If the city of Abbotsford can encourage more people to participate in the survey… I will personally wash and wax Mayor Banman’s car,” said Adlem. “And I propose that if Mission wins this challenge, Mayor Banman will come across the river and wash my truck.” Banman took the challenge and is encouraging community members to participate, and be-

come more aware of their health habits. As a chiropractor, Banman said a few simple health changes can add length and quality to people’s lives, and added that preventative measures are a cost-effective way of improving health. “Win or lose, it’s a great win for the community… I hope the citizens of this community fill out the survey.” The survey can be found at www.myhealthmycommunity. org.

Myxxfest: Business plan needed, no contracts signed Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

There are a “ton of hurdles that need to be jumped over” before a proposed music festival at the Abbotsford Airport comes close to reality. That’s according to Mayor Bruce Banman. Banman was responding to the announcement that Abbotsford’s Gary “Sir Johan” Karlsen III – the founder, president, CEO, and Co-Chairman of the Jimi Hendrix Family Foundation – and former Abbotsford Chamber president Sir James Barlow have joined forces in hopes of bringing rock ‘n’ roll royalty to town. The proposal is “very much at the infancy stage,” said Banman. “It’s an exciting project to think that the types of names they are bandying about could come and perform here in Abbotsford. It would be a fantastic draw for the entire region. However, having said that, there is a ton of work to be done.” The festival is still just an idea. No contracts have been signed, no dates have been set and no business plan has been created. “This is a working airport, we can’t shut down the airport for three days. We don’t shut down the airport for the Abbotsford

Airshow and we can’t shut it down for this.” He wants to see a business plan, which the organizers have yet to compile. “The city is not going to spend one thin dime until we have some ironclad assurances that these gentlemen can do what they say they are going to do.” According to Karlsen, the plan is to host a three-day concert, hopefully next year, featuring some of the greatest names in rock history. He said talks

ality, is taking a more cautious approach to promoting the event. “I’m regarding my job with this one is to tone down what Sir Johan is talking about. Not that we don’t want it to get as big as he’s saying, because it might do, but it would be inappropriate and incorrect to make the statements that it’s going to be millions of people and every big name you’ve ever heard of,” said Barlow. However, he did say that discussions with performers have begun.

have begun with The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Paul McCartney, The Who, Pink Floyd and even the re-formation of Led Zeppelin. He also wants Robbie Knievel to jump the main stage on his motorcycle and have Leon Hendrix open the event by playing the Star Spangled Banner and O Canada. Karlsen expects to attract as many as a million fans to the event. Barlow, who is also optimistic that the festival can become a re-

leting/feeding); • in-home health care; • nursing clinics in all communities; • day programs for seniors; • services to give caregivers a break. Having only one number to call improves and streamlines client support, said Meadows. “Our philosophy is ‘home is best,’” Meadows said, noting that people can get help developing a plan so elderly people can stay independent and at home longer, even after a hospital stay, or when they are having difficulties looking after themselves. The new centralized system has also been integrated with B.C.’s acute care hospitals so people can return home more easily with appropriate nursing and other supports. But Meadows advises people not to wait for a health emergency to plan for assistance for their loved one. “We don’t want them to wait until their mother has fallen. Humans are like this, particularly around caregiver burnout. Families will adjust and move their lives around incredibly, and then they’re on the burning platform. Humans don’t do a lot of pre-planning.” Among the questions people ask themselves are: Can mom stay home safely by herself? Who will help Dad with his personal care when I’m at work? I no longer think I can live at home alone. I think I need some help, but what is available? Meadows said Home Health Service Line staff can make suggestions and refer a client for a clinic or home assessment. The new number is already in service for new clients, but current Home Health users can continue to call their local Home Health office for assistance. People can also call 211 to look for community, social or government services.

IUOE 115 commits to training programs to build BC’s future The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 115 is a firm believer in the importance of trades training in order to meet the demands of BC’s growing economy and its ongoing investment into infrastructure and residential development projects. IUOE Local 115, representing over 11,000 workers from a broad range of construction and industrial trades, has gone beyond simply acknowledging the challenges of the province’s growth plans, to providing long term training programs and facilities to ensure labour demands are met. “You can have as many projects on the table and investment as you like; if you don’t have trained people ready to dig, hoist, pour, or operate the dozens of machines required to build, you’ll never leave the drawing board� says IUOE Local 115 Business Manager Brian Cochrane.

That is why Local 115 runs a dedicated professional trades training division, which recently hosted their 18th Annual Open House and Heavy Equipment Rodeo at their fully equipped 40acre facility in Maple Ridge. Local 115’s Training Association features over 25 pieces of fully operational heavy equipment, along with mobile computer simulation classrooms situated on an open site that replicates real-life working conditions. Every year also sees numerous and varied pieces of equipment sponsored by Union Contractors on display. The crowd of over 1,000 visitors enjoyed a day of operating the machines, great food and fun contests, and learning more about the role of the Union, and the need for the development of future trades skills within the province. Cochrane says that the importance of hosting the Open House cannot be overlooked. �British

Dignity and Justice A Voice in the Work Place The IUOE 115 plays a key role in placing trained workers on site, meeting the needs of Canada’s growing industrial economy, and securing those who build it.

The IUOE 115 represents over 11,000 skilled workers throughout British Columbia and the Yukon. We are part of North America’s largest, strongest, and most established trade unions.

These are the principles on which organized labour was founded. No single union has ever achieved these goals with more success and consistency than the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

Columbia’s economy is in the midst of a massive and ongoing expansion in the residential and industrial sectors that calls for an increasing number of skilled tradespeople and operating engineers. Local 115 and our Training Association are here to ensure that we are able to meet and make the best of these growing needs with skilled, qualified workers�, he says. B.C. is indeed seeing large amounts of investment in skills-intensive, large scale projects over the coming decade. New LNG plants and pipelines are being fast tracked in Northern B.C. to meet the growing energy demands in Asia. ‘Site C’, BC Hydro’s proposed 8 billion dollar Peace River hydroelectric dam, should complete its environmental review process in late 2013.

Labour Day September 2, 2013

Working towards a highly skilled workforce in BC Continued from page 18 total over $3.3bn, and the $6.5bn Northern Gateway oil pipeline project represents the largest private investment capital in the province’s history. Even Donald Trump sees potential, and has announced a $360m investment into an iconic 63-storey hotel and condo development in Vancouver’s downtown core. While this translates into thousands of poten-

tial job opportunities for trades workers, academics and labour organizations warn that a major shortage of trades and professional skills will see demand outstrip supply by 2016. Increased investment and accessibility to training programs is going to be crucial in meeting demand, and Local 115 is making significant investments to make sure that Operating Engineers are well positioned to secure

these opportunities. “All of these developments, these challenges and opportunities, point squarely at the importance of developing a skilled workforce right here within BC” continues Cochrane. He believes that events such as their Open House is more than just a way to showcase their Local’s training abilities and equipment to members; it’s a way to secure the future of their existing

and future members, and contribute towards the continued prosperity of the province. Cochrane insists that workers who attend their training courses not only walk away with a recognised qualification (at significantly discount-

ed member rates), but also the services of one of Canada’s largest labour organizations ensuring that their new skills are put to good use. “By getting future and existing apprentices, journeypersons and operators

out to our training facility and actually running the machines they aspire to build with one day, we can get them excited about their futures as a qualified worker in a province that desperately needs their skills.”

Labour Day greetings from the unionized workers at your local community newspaper.

Welcome to the 2013-2014 School Year! Welcome Back The start of school each September is ingrained in our culture. Students and parents endeavour to squeeze the last few days out of summer, but begin to turn their minds to the school year ahead as August winds down. Whether you will be in kindergarten for the first time, grade six at a new middle school, or in your graduating year, the year starts with both anticipation and uncertainty: attending a new school, learning with new teachers, and meeting new friends sometimes brings both excitement and trepidation. This is also true for many educators. They too look forward to meeting their new

School Opening Information For September, 2013 For attendance area information, please contact the District Administration Office at 604.859.4891 or go to the district website at www.sd34.bc.ca, and use the menu to go to: “Schools”, then “Registration & Enrolment”, then “School Catchment”. Use the school locator and map to confirm your catchment school. For information on district programs and schools of choice go to the homepage and click “Programs”. SCHOOL OPENING: Tuesday, September 3, 2013: A. All staff will be present in schools in this district on Tuesday, September 3. B. All students, Grades 1-12, will be in attendance on Tuesday, September 3, the opening day of the 2013/14 school year, for approximately one-half day. C. For kindergarten students, please check with your child’s school for the

students, teaching new units of study, and working with new colleagues. They too get a little nervous about doing a great job for their students. That’s part of what makes the start of school so special. The 2013/14 year promises to be a exciting one in the life of our district. As we seek to further activate our Strategic Plan aimed at making every student in our care successful, you will see a number of new initiatives take flight. While there are a number of innovative programs in our district already, we have dedicated ourselves to further expanding the options for learners. Chief among

these programs are launches of our early learning programs, an outdoor school expression of interest, a district innovation centre, and specialized intervention schedules at three high schools (Robert Bateman, Abby Senior, and Abbotsford Traditional). It’s a great time to be a student or an educator in our district! Stay tuned. To all our students, parents/guardians, and staff, please accept my heartfelt welcome to what promises to be a tremendous school year. I hope we all make 2013/14 our best one yet.

After Dark at the Reach Gala event includes a silent auction of local works

Submitted Photo

Houses with a Red Boat (left) by Milt Walker, chair of The Reach board and Freddie (right) by Ryan Walter, president of the Abbotsford Heat are two of the works to be auctioned off.

The public has the opportunity to discover artistic talent where they’d least expect it. Dozens of local community leaders, colleagues, dignitaries and professional artists have created individual original square foot art pieces to be auctioned off at After Dark at The Reach on Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. Guests can bid on these amazing new art creations during the Square Foot Silent Art Auction. The event is not a

traditional black-tie gala. It’s a fun event where people can expect to indulge in elegant artistic foods and sip on refreshing libations while listening to the upbeat jazzy music and vocals of the Ali Milner duo. It is about having your portrait sketched by caricaturist Ted Couling or watching and waiting to bid on a piece being painted by local artist Paula Funk, catching the Pacific Pyros glass bead artist in action and admiring extraordinary pieces from local collectors. “After Dark at The Reach is about all of you who make art and heritage a vital part of your family’s life and your business culture

and, over the years, we have discovered just how much the people of Abbotsford value their special connection to the arts in their community,” said Milt Walker, chair of The Reach Gallery Museum Abbotsford Board. “I encourage you to join us in celebrating The Reach’s Fifth Anniversary at this dazzling event and help raise funds for crucial and diverse arts and heritage inter-activities and programming that are offered free to children and adults at The Reach.” To purchase tickets to After Dark at The Reach call 604-8648087; email info@thereach.ca or go to www. thereach.ca. Tickets are $125 per person.

Glory at Junior Worlds for Dhinsa

Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

The living room of the Dhinsa family home doubles as a wrestling museum, and an impressive one at that. Upwards of 100 medals won by Sunny Dhinsa, some dating back to when he was five years old, hang on a rope which runs along the wall, just below the ceiling. On the mantle, banners, sashes, posters and trophies are displayed. There’s even a “lucha libre” wrestling mask, which Dhinsa earned for finishing second at the 2011 PanAmerican Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. Prompted to show off his most recent prize – which also happens to be his favourite – the 20-year-old grappler retrieves a bronze medal from amongst the spoils of victory. It’s a simple medal with a plain three-colour ribbon attached – like something minor

Heat release schedule â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge for Wrestling Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Last week, by off-season standards, was a busy one for the Abbotsford Heat, highlighted by Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release of the full regular season schedule. The Heat are set to open the campaign in Cleveland â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â they visit the Lake Erie Monsters for a two-game set, Oct. 4-5. The first regular season home games at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre are the following weekend, as the Milwaukee Admirals visit Oct. 11-12. As previously announced, the Heat will host the Utica Comets, the Vancouver Canucksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new AHL affiliate, seven times in 2013-14. That includes a preseason game on Sept. 22, plus six regular season games. The regular season home dates are Nov. 29-30, Jan. 24-25, and March 14-15. The teams also play six times in Utica.

For more schedule analysis, visit abbynews.com. The full slate of games can be viewed at theahl.com. Q The Heat also announced a new affiliation agreement with the ECHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alaska Aces.

Q Additionally, the Calgary Flames unveiled their roster for the upcoming Young Stars Classic in Penticton. The preseason tourney runs Sept. 5-9 and brings together young players from the Flames, Canucks, Edmonton Oilers, San Jose Sharks and Winnipeg Jets.

Fellow Abbotsford wrestler Jasmit Phulka also participated at the Junior Worlds, and he lost his opening match in the 84 kg division to Levan Gogrichiani of Georgia. Nishan Randhawa was part of the Canadian contingent at the Cadet World Championships in Zrenjanin, Serbia, and he too was eliminated in his first match. He fell 10-3 to Dmitri Ceacusta of Moldova in the 85 kg class.

dropped an 8-0 decision to eventual gold medalist Geno Petriashvili of Georgia in the quarter-finals. That ended his title hopes, but he battled his way through the back side of the draw, beating Slim Trabelsi of Tunisia and Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Georgii Gogaev (the defending cadet world champ) to clinch the bronze. Dhinsa said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;devastatedâ&#x20AC;? following his quarter-final loss, and noted that if his draw had been more favourable, he might have upgraded to silver. The semifinalists on the other side of the draw were from Azerbaijan and Iran, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d beaten both wrestlers at previous tourneys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a three-hour break (after the quarter-finals), and I

Dhinsa said with a chuckle, referring to the medal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But my dad goes, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How much money do you want for it? Would you sell it?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And I said no.

Exercise is Medicine Public Presentation

What if there was one medicine so powerful in maintaining and improving health that it could prevent or treat dozens of diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and obesity? THERE IS: EXERCISE! The Abbotsford Division of Family Practice, in partnership with Healthy Abbotsford, would like to invite you to a public presentation on Wednesday August 28 where you will have the opportunity to:

• Listen to two of the world’s most distinguished physical activity experts, Dr. Steven Blair and Dr. Karim Khan • Ask Dr. Blair and Dr. Khan any questions you have about physical activity and health during the question and answer session • Hear about what has been happening here in Abbotsford to improve the health of our residents

Date: Wednesday August 28, 2013 Time: 7-8:30pm Location: Matsqui Centennial Auditorium (32315 South Fraser Way)

This session is open to the public - help spread the word!

Our mission is to make sure that exercise is front and centre in every discussion on disease prevention,health and wellness. Exercise IS Medicine.

Mutual funds and securities related financial planning services are offered through Qtrade Asset Management Inc., Member MFDA

Be Active, Abbotsford, and Live Let your imagination travel with me for a moment; you are a family doctor. After returning from your lunch break, you treat four patients over fifty years of age, each with different health conditions. The first is a diabetic, the next one is a regular smoker, the third is obese, and the last one is an office worker who almost never engages in physical activity. Which one of these individuals is at the greatest health risk? One researcher answered this question in a famous study following more than 50 000 people over 8 years. Not only did he show that an extremely unfit person is at the greatest risk for death, but that inactivity is a bigger risk than smoking, obesity, and diabetes combined! The lead researcher for this investigation was world-renowned physical activity and health expert Professor Steven Blair, who argues that physical inactivity is the biggest public health problem of the 21st century. Dr. Blair’s research has also focused on the concept of “fit vs. fat”, where he has shown that fit, obese individuals have lower health risks than unfit people with normal body weights. Since his work has shown how just 30 minutes of moderate activity a day can do wonders for your health, he is currently studying how different tools, such as social media, may help people reach their health and fitness goals. Do you want to know more? Do you have your own questions about physical activity and health? Come listen for yourself! Dr. Steven Blair will be in Abbotsford tomorrow, August 28th, giving a public presentation on these topics and more. The MC for the event will be another internationally recognized physical activity advocate, Dr. Karim Khan (MD, PhD), Editor of the British Journal of Sports Medicine and Professor at UBC. The event, organized by Exercise is Medicine Abbotsford, in partnership with the Abbotsford Division of Family Practice and Healthy Abbotsford, starts at 7:00PM at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium. Come hear first-hand how you take steps to live a longer, healthier, and more active life.

and weekly to bi-monthly bath will suffice. Less active dogs may only need a full bath monthly. If you find your dog needs a bath more than once a week, try to avoid using shampoos and stick with warm water to get the majority of grime off.

Bathing your dog is an important part of ensuring your dog’s overall health. There is no set guide for how often a dog needs to be bathed; it depends on their type of coat (long, short, curly, smooth or wiry), daily activities and overall lifestyle. Bathing is not only to remove dirt and debris buildup, and should not only be limited to when they get in mud puddles! Bathing also helps remove dead hair during shedding times, eliminates doggy odor (especially in those with oily coats) and can give you an opportunity to feel for growths, abrasions and overall body health. That being said, over bathing your dog is not good for them either. It can take the luster out of their coat and give them dry, itchy skin. For most dogs, a good regular brushing

Before their bath, give your dog a good thorough brushing to remove any knots, mats and loosen dead hair. This step ensures that you get them properly cleaned and groomed and it is much easier than dealing with wet knotted fur! It is also important to ensure you wash all the soap out of their coat. Soap residue can cause skin issues and also takes the shine out of their coat and don’t forget to rinse between their toes.
