Chickens’ fate up in the air as ban upheld Neighbours raise concerns about noise, rodents and even avian Åu Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

Tanya Buskell is worried about the fate of the eight hens she and her husband John keep in their backyard following council’s decision to continue its ban on backyard flocks in Abbotsford’s urban areas on Monday.

“I was told we would be able to defend our stance… I’m completely blindsided by that fact that it happened (Monday).”

Tanya got the chickens about 15 months ago as a sort of therapy after losing her job. In January, the Buskells were given a notice from bylaw enforcement that they couldn’t keep the hens, as the city’s pound bylaw prohibits keeping farm animals in urban areas.

But after contacting the city, Tanya was told that she would not have to get rid of the chickens until council had an opportunity to review the issue. Tanya said she was told by Mayor Bruce Banman in person, as well as in an email, that she would be notified when the issue came to council.

But when the decision was made Monday, Tanya and John had been given no warning.

Leslie Stettler, an Abbotsford resident, appeared as a delegation to council Monday evening, asking them to consider a pilot project allowing small flocks of hens in backyards.

Council then considered a report from city staff recommending council continue the ban, stating that despite requests to keep flocks, the city receives complaints about neighbours with chickens, mostly ALEX BUTLER Abbotsford News due to rodent attraction, noise and un- Tanya Buskell has kept chickens in her backyard for over a year, originally unaware it was against a city bylaw.

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.

City settles with former manager Jay Teichroeb to be awarded settlement following departure

Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

The city will pay out nearly $100,000 to the former general manager of economic development following a wrongful dismissal suit, according to information obtained by the Abbotsford News under the Freedom of Information Act. Jay Teichroeb filed a lawsuit against the city in June, alleging he was dismissed from city hall without proper cause.

The document states that Teichroeb will receive $95,000 – less 30 per cent deduction

for the Canadian Revenue senior employees of the (City Agency – for settlement/com- of Abbotsford).”

Teichroeb left the city pensation.

At the time of his departure, Teichroeb received $18,796.79 from areas such as vacation pay and remaining wages, but according to the documents, Teichroeb did not receive any settlement agreement or wages in lieu of notice.

In 2012, Teichroeb was the third-highest paid staff member at city hall, making $205,669 that year. Soanes received $185,809 last year, and Ferguson was paid $106,119.

The city declined the opportunity to comment on the issue.

sightliness. The report also states that to a lesser extent, concerns about avian flu have been raised.

Council voted against the proposal, citing concerns for neighbours, and the potential impact on the agricultural sector.

Coun. Patricia Ross said she remembers the 2004 avian flu outbreak in the Fraser Valley when about 17 million birds had to be destroyed. She said that as Abbotsford is the centre of the poultry industry, “it’s just too big a risk.”

Some B.C. communities allow backyard flocks, including Surrey, Delta, New Westminster, Vancouver, Victoria and Nanaimo, with a variety of different rules and stipulations for numbers or limiting ownership to hens.

Chilliwack, Langley, and Mission do not allow chickens.

Mayor Bruce Banman acknowledged that while some communities allow chickens, Abbotsford’s closest neighbours continue to ban them. He said that communities like Chilliwack and Mission likely have the same concerns that council has, that it will impact agriculture and the “many, many jobs” that it provides.

John Buskell disagrees with council’s perspective, saying there “is no science supporting that backyard chickens impact the spread of avian flu,” adding that the disease was spread through the industry, not in backyards.

The Buskells had a chicken die suddenly

ALEX BUTLER Abbotsford News

Tanya and John Buskell think the city’s ban on backyard chickens should be reconsidered. and were concerned about the spread of disease. They immediately brought it the Abbotsford Agricultural Centre, where staff determined it had died from an egg that ruptured internally. Tanya said this shows that in Abbotsford, which has the centre that will perform autopsies on chickens for only $10, is equipped to handle responsible chicken ownership.

Only Coun. Bill MacGregor voted to allow for a pilot project, saying a project

with proper rules and regulations could be effective.

Tanya said she think chicken ownership should be regulated, and permits should be issued and a course on proper care should be required. She took a free course at the University of the Fraser Valley on the proper care of backyard chickens, learning anatomy, signs of disease or ill health, and proper care.

The Buskells said they obviously did not research the bylaw properly, but as Abbotsford is “the City in the Country,” allowing chickens should be considered.

“There has to be dialogue and debate about it… I think they would be surprised at how many people have chickens in this town,” said Tanya.

John said the decision, which they were told they would be informed of, should be declared void due to lack of consultation.

Tanya said she is disappointed with the way council made their decision and the information it was based on.

“I trusted them to look at both sides equally, and they didn’t.”

Katherine Jeffcoatt, manager of communications for the city, said due to changeover in the city’s bylaw department, the Buskells failed to be notified of council’s upcoming decision.

She said the Buskells will be able to register to make a delegation before council on the issue at an upcoming meeting, allowing council a chance to reconsider their decision, and keep their chickens in the interim.

Dozens help in search for woman Erica Schmidt left her home on Saturday morning Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

One thing is clear from the dozens of volunteers who aided in the efforts to find a missing woman this week: Erica Schmidt is loved and she is missed.

On Saturday morning, the 59-year-old Abbotsford woman left the home she shares with her husband, Henry, on Timberlane Drive. As of the News’ press deadline on Wednesday, her family and friends had not seen or heard from her.

But many of them scoured city streets on Monday and Tuesday in search of Erica, as they distributed SCHMIDT and posted “missing person” flyers.

More than 3,500 posters were handed out across the community at places such as stores, schools, bus stops, movie theatres and recreation centres.

Family friend Mark Henter coordinated this effort, as a complement to the formal search being conducted by the skilled and dedicated volunteers of Central Fraser Valley Search and Rescue and to the investigation being conducted by the Abbotsford Police Department

Erica’s and Henry’s son Michael said on Tuesday afternoon that he was moved by the support.

“I think that’s what’s keeping us going at this point. We could not be doing this on our own.

People’s prayers and support mean a lot,” he said.

Although Henter said Erica is “usually pretty bubbly,” she had recently been struggling with depression.

Erica is believed to have walked away from the home on Saturday between 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. She did not take any belongings nor does she own a cellphone.

Const. Ian MacDonald said Abbotsford Police have received numerous tips, many of which have not panned out. One credible sighting occurred at about 3 p.m. Saturday, when someone who knows Erica spotted her in the area of McCallum Road and Bevan Avenue before the “missing person” report was made public.

Erica is 5’ 4”, 140 pounds with short brown hair and blue eyes.

Anyone who thinks they have spotted her is asked to call the APD at 604-859-5225 or text abbypd (222973).

No more flyers are being distributed at this point. For ongoing updates on the volunteer effort and the search for Erica, follow the Facebook page.

Kenneth Carr to be sentenced at a later date Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford man has pleaded guilty to counselling a woman to commit suicide.

Kenneth William Carr, 54, is scheduled for a sentencing hearing on Dec. 20 in Abbotsford provincial court. He appeared briefly in court on Tuesday to enter his guilty plea.

Carr was charged in September 2012 after a 48-year-old woman showed up at the Abbotsford Police Department with ligature marks around her neck.

The woman had met

Carr not long before the incident. She was urged to go to police after a family member noticed the marks around her neck.

“Information to obtain (ITO) a search warrant” documents later filed in Abbotsford provincial court indicated that the woman suffered from depression and anxiety disorder, and Carr offered to help her commit suicide.

According to the ITO, Carr had the woman prepare a suicide note and then gave her white pills, rigged a rope from the rafters in his home, placed it

Kenneth Carr over her head and had her stand on a chair.

She told police that she awoke the next day, and Carr drove her home.

The ITO indicated that, in Carr’s residence, police found a room with ropes sus-

served time for manslaughter in relation to the 1997 death of Port Coquitlam teen Kathryn Kaminski.

The teen was found lying face down with a rope around her neck between two sets of train tracks in New Westminster.

The ITO stated that during the investigation into Kaminski’s death, a police search of Carr’s work locker turned up 28 photos of women – some naked and some partially dressed – in various poses.

Carr has been in custody since his arrest last September.

pended from the ceiling.

The documents also stated that images of a naked man and a woman hanging and appearing lifeless were found on a cellphone in Carr’s home, launching an investigation into a possible murder.

Carr apparently told police that the people in the cellphone images were still alive and had been “made to look like they were dead” in the photos.

Police investigated the photos in more detail, and no murder charges were laid.

Cocaine found in apartment after murders

Court documents reveal drugs were seized from oven, fridge and cupboards at Surrey Six site Sheila REYNOLDS Black Press

Several containers and bags of what appeared to be cocaine and crack were found in the Surrey apartment suite where six men were executed in 2007, according to court documents.

An admission of facts filed in court during the trial of three men accused of first-degree murder indicate there were two glass Pyrex containers found in the oven containing a white substance believed to be cocaine.

Another 116 grams of an offwhite substance thought to be cocaine was also found in the

oven, and 119 grams of something white believed to be crack cocaine was in the freezer.

A total of 245 grams of an offwhite substance believed to be crack was also found in the kitchenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upper cupboards in suite 1505.

Cody Haevischer, Matthew Johnston and Michael Le are currently on trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver for first-degree murder and conspiracy. They are accused of killing alleged drug dealers Edward Narong, Ryan Bartolomeo, and brothers Corey and Michael Lal, and bystanders Edward Schellenberg (of Abbotsford) and Christopher

While friends and family of some of the deceased testified last week they had vague knowledge of their loved onesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; possible involvement in the drug trade, they said they did not think they were successful or powerful dealers.

Corey Lalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend of two years said he was not at all flashy and when asked if she knew him well, answered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I thought.â&#x20AC;?

A friend of Bartolomeoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said she saw him pack bags with drugs, leave, and return without the bags. In her police statement, she also referred to him leaving for 12 hours at a time when

he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;running,â&#x20AC;? which she explained in court was delivering for a dial-a-dope operation.

Caesar Tiojanco, who owned the suite where the murders took place, but rented it out, testified last week that the tenants paid their rent in cash. He said he had examined the suite less than a week before the murders and found no sign of drugs.

Also in the admission of fact were some details about the autopsies of the victims, which revealed that blood-soaked business cards of fireplace technician Schellenberg were found in the jacket pocket of Narong.

QUESTION

Chicken ban

OF THE WEEK

There are a bunch of houses with chickens in their backyard, so it’s clear the city had already been failing to enforce their ban.

Jay Mitchell

Do you support city council’s decision to continue the ban on backyard chickens in urban areas?

This is absolutely ridiculous! City in the country?

It might be time to change our city’s slogan.

Kerry Fournier

Ridiculous, and out of touch with the everyday citizen of Abbotsford. I’m surprised they haven’t tried banning all pets too.

Re: Science loses ground to superstition (B.C. Views, Oct. 3).

Tom Fletcher is, in my view, one of BC’s most under-appreciated commentators. This column sums up one of our world’s strangest phenomena – superstition increases in lockstep with the increase in human knowledge.

Fletcher focuses on our endless climatechange conflict, but you can add debates such as ‘smart meters causing cancer,’ ‘vaccines causing autism,’ ‘genetic engineering bad/ organic good’ and on and on. Toss in the anticoal and anti-pipeline

While Roger Boivin’s idea of insurance for everyone is an interesting concept, one needs look no further than ICBC to see what happens when government goes into the insurance business.

Initially formed to provide low cost auto insurance for British Columbians, before long it had replaced the old Motor Vehicle Branch and become responsible for everything from licensing to enforcement, its excess revenues used as a tax on motorists by siphoning them off for general revenue.

It may be a good idea for British Columbians in principle but unfortunately, governments can’t resist appropriating good ideas for their own purposes.

Up it or Eat it

Flooring Experts

Hunger Response International (HRI) in Abbotsford is holding a fundraiser, called Up It or Eat It, in conjunction with World Food Day on Wednesday, Oct. 16.

The agency is encouraging everyone to eat rice on that day because it is the most consumed food in the world and because one in eight of the world’s people are hungry. Prior to that, HRI will provide people with boxes of rice for a $5 donation to cook and eat on World Food Day. For more information visit hungerresponse.org or call 604-850-5891 or 604-308-1391.

Over the past summer months 360 Fabrication Inc. and the Baron Bar and Grill partnered together to present Hot Valley Nights, a cruise in for car enthusiasts, young and old. This was the second year of Hot Valley Nights and it was huge success for all involved. 360 Fabrication Inc. and the Baron Bar and Grill were joined by Kitt Equipment who sponsored the T-shirts sold at the event to raise funds for Abbotsford Hospice Society.

A cheque for $740 was presented to Marion Keys of AHS. AHS is in the second stage of the project to build the first adult hospice residence for those 19 years and up in Abbotsford called Holmberg House.

Hot Valley Nights will continue to sponsor AHS for their event in 2014.

Debbie Lehmann, Executive Director of Abbotsford Hospice Society said, “We thank our partners like 360 Fabrication and the Baron Bar and Grill for their support and look forward to seeing everyone again at next year’s Hot Valley Nights!”

Two supportive recovery homes located on farmland off of Fraser Highway were approved by council on Monday evening.

Joshua House, also known as Yahweh Saves Recovery Ministries, proposed to operate two 10-bed men’s homes at 29183 Fraser Hwy., using maintenance and development of the farmland as part of the recovery program.

The property is about nine acres with two homes and several small barns used for cows, goats, pigs and chickens.

The proposal was discussed at a public hearing on Sept. 23, with supporters and former clients stating that the facility would be a great help to those in need of recovery.

Lester Bolan, a former resident of Joshua House, said he spent time in the Downtown Eastside and suffered from addiction before becoming clean and sober five years ago.

He said a spiritual program with a farm, like Joshua House has proposed, would give people seeking recovery the purpose they have been missing in the past.

Angie Korkowski, executive director of Joshua House, said the rural setting will provide fewer distractions for men in recovery, and tending to livestock and the land will provide the men with necessary skills.

My father enjoys retirement since he moved to Cedarbrooke Chateau Elmar RESIDENT

“I have more friends than I’ve ever had...”

Cedarbrooke Chateau is the perfect home. My personal suite is decorated with special mementoes and comforts of the house I shared with my wife before she passed away. The services and amenities at the Chateau lets me rest with ease knowing help, if I need it, is right here.

I enjoy working in the gardens, going for daily walks — in rain or shine — and making new friends. I have more friends than I’ve ever had and I truly enjoy speaking German with some of them.

I attend happy hour almost every afternoon with my friends, but my favourite celebration is Octoberfest at Cedarbrooke Chateau, when I can put on my favourite lederhosen, drink from my stein and dance to the festive music.

Mission has been my home since I moved here with my wife in 1954 from Germany, and the independent lifestyle and full service retirement home at Cedarbrooke Chateau will keep me in this community for many, more years.

Carlo ELMAR’S SON

“I can go away for the weekend and not worry...”

I like the changes in my dad since he moved to Cedarbrooke Chateau four years ago.

Dad stayed for about a year on his own when mom passed away, but it was tough.

Cooking, cleaning and looking after the house was more than he could handle.

We toured retirement homes and within no time of seeing Cedarbrooke Chateau, dad was convinced it was the place for him. After moving him in here, he never wanted to go back to his house — that’s how comfortable he is here.

The staff is amazing and they keep me in the loop if any issues arise from him.

They look after his dietary needs and with the many social events and outings available, he always has something to tell me when I visit.

I know he’s well cared for and content, and I can go away forr a weekend and not worry about it. It gives me a lot of peace of mind.

We should be proud we have this facility in Mission, and wee are so lucky to have a place like this when we need it.

Abbotsford MP Ed Fast had the least amount of any in B.C.

Local MPs report lowest expenses of $435,836.

Randy Kamp, MP for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission, had the third lowest spending in B.C. at $360,969.

He was beat only by Okanag an-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes.

What an MP spends on the required frequent flights between home and Ottawa has a big impact on their overall expenses.

Kamp gets an ‘A’ for effort for saving a taxpayer dollar.

Last year, he spent $20,882 on his own travel, plus an additional $13,835 on a designate d trave l l e r, usually his wife.

That’s a 75 FAST p e r cent reduction over the previous year, when Kamp spent over $200,000 on travel alone.

“As part of an intentional effort to reduce travel expenses, I made fewer trips between the riding and Ottawa, spending more weekends in Ottawa. My wife also made fewer trips,” explained Kamp by email.

He has also been purchasing flight passes.

The books of tickets significantly reduce flight costs.

To be fair, Kamp explained, the 2012-13 year actually included a few flight credits for trips tallied the year before but only taken this year.

In 2011-12, Kamp’s overall expenses were $494,514. He reigned those in to well under $400,000 for the most recent financial reports.

Fast’s travel spending was lower than the average as well.

He used $36,801 on his own travel, and an additional $11,623 on a designated traveller.

LIFE Recovery Association’s plan to reestablish a recovery home on Melmar Avenue was approved by council on Monday, despite not meeting the city’s minimum distance requirements.

The city’s bylaw prohibits supportive recovery homes from being established within 200 metres of a school or an existing recovery home. LIFE Recovery’s site is

180 metres from a school and 88 metres from another recovery home, but had been previously used as a recovery facility from 2008 to 2011, operated by the Psalm 23 Transition Society.

Coun. Dave Loewen expressed concern about allowing for an exception, adding that the city’s supportive recovery policy was developed with extensive community consultation and was designed to mitigate potential issues.

But Coun. Henry Braun said the exception only allowed LIFE Recovery to reestablish what had existed there.

LIFE Recovery’s program provides rehabilitation for women dealing with substance abuse issues and has been operating since February 1999. They currently operate a home in Abbotsford, and will now create an “alumni home” that will house five women who have already been through the recovery program.

Earthquake preparedness drill on Oct. 17 Residents asked to stop activities and drop, cover and hold on All citizens of B.C. should get ready to participate in earthquake preparedness by participating in the ShakeOut BC Drill.

At 10:17 a.m. on Oct.17 residents are asked to stop wherever they are â&#x20AC;&#x201D;at home, at work, at school, anywhereâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and drop, cover, and hold on as if there were a major earthquake occurring, and stay in the position for at least 60 seconds.

Mayor Bruce Banman said the exercise is important as Abbotsford is in a seismically active region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone should use the ShakeOutBC drill as an opportunity to learn what to do before, during, and after an earthquake.â&#x20AC;?

B.C. is part of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ring of Fireâ&#x20AC;? which is a 40,000 kilometer horseshoe area where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean.

Off the west coast, the Cascadia Zone includes a portion of the Pacific Plate with the small Juan de Fuca Plate which is sliding beneath the North American Plate creating a volatile fault line. In Abbotsford, the Boulder Creek fault line starts just east of Bellingham, Washington running 11 kilometres long and 17 kilometres wide and is less than one kilometer beneath the surface.

Additional earthquake preparedness information is available online at www.shakeoutbc.ca.

Police chief Bob Rich honoured in Quebec

Abbotsford Police Chief Bob Rich was honoured as an Officer of the Order of Merit of the Police Forces last

Friday in Quebec.

The honour was presented in a ceremony at the residence of Gov. Gen. David Johnston

at the Citadelle of Quebec.

It is given at three levels – member, officer and commander

– and each level must be awarded before the next one can be bestowed.

Rich was invested as

a Member of the Order of Merit in 2008.

The Order of Merit honours a career of exceptional service by members and employees of Canadian police forces.

Rich was among 23 recipients from across Canada honoured at Friday’s ceremony, where each received the badge of the order.

Rich has been with the Abbotsford Police Department since July 2008, following almost 30 years with the Vancouver Police Department.

Prior to starting his policing career in 1980, Rich obtained a law degree.

In 2012, Rich was presented with the governor general’s Police Exemplary Service Medal, recog-

ABBOTSFORD POISED TO ADVANCE GROUNDBREAKING TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR CANCER CARE IN B.C.

1 IN 3

The BC Cancer Foundation 2013 Discovery Luncheon - Abbotsford happening on Tuesday, November 5th at the Abbotsford Ramada Plaza is raising funds in support of the clinical trials program at the BC Cancer Agency Abbotsford Centre. The Abbotsford Centre is a key participant in the advancement of cancer clinical trials in British Columbia which will help change the future of care through more effective treatment options.

BRITISH COLUMBIANS

The Abbotsford Centre has successfully established a leading-edge program that currently oversees six clinical trials.

While being treated for colon cancer, Susan Hiltgen participated in one of the trials which is seeking to determine if a sufficient

amount of chemotherapy can be delivered in three months instead of the standard six.

“As a cancer patient, you schedule your life around your treatment, which then takes over your body with fatigue and other side effects,” describes Hiltgen.

“If patients can be safely treated with less chemotherapy, they can carry on with life a lot sooner.

Clinical trials are one of the stepping stones to improving the quality of life for patients, so it is very important to support the advancement of such initiatives,” adds Hiltgen.

“Patient care has improved so much over the years because of clinical trials. The knowledge we have acquired from trials have contributed to the development of treatments for some types of cancer that were previously incurable, and have led to better survival rates,” shares Dr. Zulfiqar.

“There is no doubt that the Discovery Luncheon in Abbotsford

will support our efforts to enrich the lives of those affected by cancer. Funds raised by the event will help with the operational costs of the clinical trials unit so that we can continue serving patients from the fast-growing regions of the Fraser Valley,” says Dr. Zulfiqar.

“Clinical trial units across the BC Cancer Agency’s regional centres are some of the best examples of how the rapid translation of research discoveries into new, more effective clinical practices occurs.

The clinical trials program at the Abbotsford Centre is therefore an extremely vital initiative to support,” says Douglas Nelson, President and CEO of the BC Cancer Foundation.

squads on a roll

The Abbotsford Falcons community football program fashioned another huge weekend, as all four teams emerged victorious.

The Falcons Black junior bantam squad blasted the North Langley Bears behind offensive touchdowns by Tyson Reid, Ezra GarciaLanda, Dylan Roach and Samwel Uko, and a picksix by Jordan Townrow.

The other Abby junior bantam squad, Team White, blanked the Chilliwack Giants 38-0 behind a great team defensive effort led by an interception by Sam Davenport and fumble recoveries by Kyle Ruffell and Logan Onderwater.

Dion Kelly ran for three TDs and Luke Szmutko threw one to Zach Langfield and ran another in on the quarterback keeper.

The Falcons peewees

posted a shutout of their own, beating Chilliwack Giants Red 34-0. Elijah Radke, Haiyden B. and Tyran Duval scored majors, while a great performance from the offensive line was highlighted by a shining moment from Micah Logan. Domenico Peranio's 30-yard interception return sparked a strong defensive showing, which also included standout performances from Blake Neufeld, Carter Squire, Tayton Gienger, Seth Young and Chase Wilson.

The Abbotsford atoms beat the Chilliwack Giants Red 44-12 behind a monster fourTD outing from Joshua Schick-Bergman. Ercy Avul added two majors and four converts, while Logan Kang-Vinnish, Tyson Kelly, Ethan Ivey and Noah Lochbaum contributed big tackles on defence.

Cascades, Bearcats spikers dreaming big From A31

PacWest regular season, the question is, what do they do for an encore?

“For us, the biggest challenge is developing a new identity as a team,” said UFV head coach Dennis Bokenfohr. “We have to accomplish the same goals, but do it a little differently.”

Indeed, the Cascades will have a new look as they set about defending their national title.

They waved goodbye to a trio of graduating starters – national player of the year Kayla Bruce, Brittany Stewart and Katie Bilodeau – while Kira Tome, their outstanding setter, transferred to play at the University of Ottawa.

Nevertheless, Bokenfohr has a strong core of returnees as his disposal. Jenna Evans, the MVP of the national tournament, leads a veteran group which also features fellow left side Krista Hogewoning, middle Kierra Noot and right side Simone Hanson.

Leading the crop of newcomers is 6’0” middle Emily Carroll, a fourth-year transfer from UBC-Okanagan.

“This year, with losing Kayla in the middle, we shift to being keyed a bit more on the outside,” Bokenfohr noted. “But there’s a lot of returning players who have that (national championship) taste already in their mouths, and they’re not about to realign their goals.”

The Bearcats, meanwhile, boast perhaps the most experienced squad they’ve ever had. Head coach Duncan Harrison has eight players from last year’s 10-member roster back in the fold, including six starters, and he’s supplemented that core with a stellar five-player recruiting class.

Key veterans include left side Sadie Ball, middle April Vaandrager and setter Anna Cupido, while Jodie Enns, an outside hitter from Saskatoon, figures to make the biggest impact among the rookies.

Last season, the CBC women upset the defending national champs from Vancouver Island University in the PacWest semifinals to punch their ticket to nationals, and Harrison is hoping his squad takes another step forward this year.

“Our win against VIU, for those athletes, was a confirmation that absolutely, for sure, we can play at the highest

level,” he said. “Now, can we transfer that into not just a match or two matches on a weekend, but can we play that way night in and night out?”

Q The volleyball rivalry was just as heated on the men’s side last season, though not at the same elite level.

UFV swept a pair of games vs. CBC on the final weekend of the regular season to leapfrog the Bearcats for the sixth

and final PacWest playoff berth. The Cascades were eliminated in the provincial quarter-finals, though.

Both teams believe they’re poised for better things in 2013-14.

The Bearcats’ optimism stems largely from the return of two of their standouts from their national championship-winning squad of 2011. Outside hitter Will Quiring – MVP of the ‘11

national tourney – and setter Jason Warkentin are back on campus after one-year absences.

They’re joined by key returnees Jadon Ward and Matt Lieuwen, and a strong crew of newcomers highlighted Leigh Goossen, a transfer from UBC-Okanagan, and rookies Jeremy Lieuwen (Matt’s younger brother), Brendan Folkerts and Taylor Klassen.

“Honestly, I’d say this

Although it’s commonly accepted that oil and antifreeze are

team, through and through, is more talented than anything we had two and three years ago,” coach Phil Wiens asserted. “We’ll see how it all comes together and how the guys bond.”

The UFV men’s roster last season was riddled with rookies, and head coach Greg Russell believes they’ll be better in 2013-14 simply based on the fact they’ve got a year under their belts.

Kurtis Stromdahl, Connor Nickel and Adam Chaplin are among a large group of returnees, while veteran Anthony Togeretz is back after a one-year absence and setter Ryan Thain has transferred in from Camosun College.

“At the end of last season, we won our last four games in a row, so they were really starting to put it together,” Russell noted.

“It takes a while to learn how to carry yourself at the next level, and I think we came a long way in that department.”

Q The Bearcats and Cascades reignite their rivalry with a homeand-home set this weekend. On Friday, the teams play at Columbia Place, with rematches set for Saturday at UFV’s Envision Athletic Centre (women 6 p.m., men 8 p.m. both nights).

In a continued effort to encourage higher rates of recovery, BCUOMA has built a strong support network across the

not household garbage we can simply throw out, more

province. Today, participation includes 219 brand-

than one million litres of used oil ends up in BC

owner members, 39 collectors and processors,

landfills every year. When you consider that it only takes one drop of oil to contaminate a

500+ return collection facilities and more

million drops of water, the problem is clear:

than 4,000 generators. In addition,

there’s just too many drops to count, too many to ignore.

BCUOMA is a not-for-profit organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers. Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.

ONE DROP MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

BCUOMA is expanding its successful ambassador program this summer – with two teams of ambassadors touring the province to educate and raise awareness of the importance of used oil and antifreeze recycling.

By recycling your used oil and antifreeze products, you’re playing an important role in preserving our environment for future generations.

For love of the game Cardinals complete 100-inning marathon Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News

Chase Stewart tags out Jeremy Longpre during the Abby Cardinals’ 100-inning game.

The players and coaches in the Abbotsford Cardinals organization really love the game of baseball, and that passion was on display on Sunday at DeLair Park.

The local B.C. Premier

Baseball League program hosted its second annual 100-inning marathon game, which doubled as a fundraiser for the club. Players went out into the community to raise pledges, and brought in roughly $11,000 which will go toward facilities upgrades at DeLair.

The game itself took over nine hours to complete, and players were divided into three teams, helmed

by Cards coaches Corey Eckstein, Derek Florko and Shawn Besse.

Florko’s squad emerged

victorious.

“It’s coach-pitched, and we find ways to speed it up, otherwise we’d go all night,” Eckstein said with a chuckle. “But it’s still a long haul – a lot of pitches being thrown by the coaches, and the kids played hard. The last out of the 100th inning was a kid diving to catch a ball.”

The Cardinals were recently named the B.C. Premier Baseball League’s organization of the year for 2013. The club hosted and participated in the league’s

Final Four tournament at DeLair Park, saw two alumni (Kurtis Kostuk and Jared Mortensen) start their pro careers, and sent eight players on to the college ranks.

“It’s nice – we have good people in place who do a heck of a lot of work to make this ship go,” Eckstein said. “The PBL is starting to understand we have something special going on here. The past five or six years, this program has really started to take off, and we’re proud of what we’re doing out here.”

Appliance care Use a licensed natural gas contractor Natural gas is used safely and reliably in homes across B.C. It’s important to have your natural gas appliances regularly inspected and maintained by a licensed natural gas contractor. This ensures your safety and helps keep your appliances operating at their best.

Heat head coach Troy Ward describes defenceman Patrick Sieloff as “19 going on 29.”

Patrick Sieloff might be the poster boy for the 2013-14 edition of the Abbotsford Heat.

It’s a roster that’s short on pro hockey experience, but long on youthful enthusiasm, talent and potential.

It seems appropriate, then, that Sieloff, a 19-year-old defenceman with loads of upside, is the youngest player in the entire American Hockey League.

Sieloff is one of just three 1994born players in the league to start

the season – Stefan Matteau of the Albany Devils and Nathan Walker of the Hershey Bears being the others. But Sieloff’s May 15 birthdate falls latest in the year.

“It’s pretty cool,” Sieloff said, reflecting on the unique designation. “For me, it’s neat to be a part of it at such a young age.

“But to me, I find that age is just a number – it’s about the way you go about your stuff. On the ice, I don’t really think about me being the youngest guy. I don’t put myself in that situation (mentally) where I have leeway or anything.

Sieloff making his mark with Heat Defenceman, age 19, is AHL’s youngest player When I’m out there, I fall under a 30-year-old’s rules. If I make a mistake, I’m just as accountable as an older guy.”

It’s that mature attitude which convinced Heat head coach Troy Ward and Calgary Flames management that the best course of action was for Sieloff to turn pro this season, rather than be shipped back to the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League.

“He’s 19 going on 29,” said Ward.

Heat host home opener on Friday

From A35

in the league, but he doesn’t make you feel that way at all. His maturity is extremely high as a hockey player, and that’s what’s afforded him to be here.”

That Sieloff is able to play Abbotsford as a 19-year-old is a unique situation in itself.

Most players in their 19-year-old season who play major junior hockey in Canada don’t have the option to play in the AHL – by rule, unless they’re in the NHL, they’re required to go back to junior. But Sieloff is exempt from that rule because he was drafted out of the U.S. national development program, only joining the Spitfires after the Flames made him a second-round selection in 2012.

The Ann Arbor, Mich. native was a member of the gold medal-winning U.S. entry at the most recent World Junior Hockey Championship, and if he’s selected to the squad again in 2014, the Flames have stated they will release him for that tournament.

In the meantime, he’s focused on soaking up every scrap of knowledge from Ward and the Heat coaching staff – just one week into the regular season, he says he’s made major strides in terms of stick and body positioning.

Sieloff, a defensiveminded blueliner, is known as a huge hitter, and he’s spoken frequently of his “nofriends mentality” that he brings to the rink.

“Off the ice, I’ll be the nicest guy around,” he explained. “But on the ice, I’m a different guy, be it a practice or a game.

It’s the mentality of how I go about stuff, and I think it’s how I’ve gotten to where I am now.”

Q Sieloff and the Heat (1-1-0) host their first home games of the regular season this weekend, as the Milwaukee Admirals visit the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre for a Friday-Saturday set (7 p.m. start both nights).

Hockey Hall of Famer Guy Lafleur will be signing autographs Friday as part of the Heat’s Legends of Hockey series of promotions.

Gobbler rugby tournament runs this weekend Over the past three decades, Thanksgiving weekend and rugby have become synonymous on the Abbotsford sports scene.

The 36th annual Gobbler, the Abbotsford Rugby

Football Club's annual fundraising tournament, takes over the fields at Exhibition Park on Saturday and Sunday, and brings together 15 teams from across Western Canada.

"It's by far our biggest event

of our year," said Carlos Navarrete, a member of the ARFC executive. "We have teams from Terrace (B.C.), Alberta and Washington state coming."

The tourney raises in the

neighbourhood of $10,000 annually, which goes to fund ARFC operations, including the youth and mini rugby programs.

The Gobbler festivities begin Friday evening, with a welcome party at the ARFC club-

house (doors open at 8 p.m.).

Rugby action begins at 10 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday, with a dance set for 8 p.m.

Saturday at the Cadet Hall.

The Hawks overcame early turnover issues and built a 20-0 halftime lead. Running back Nelson Lokombo racked up 130 yards and two touchdowns on just seven carries before coming out of the game.

Quarterback Coleton Barker threw

a touchdown pass to Dion Pellerin, and Pellerin also added two more majors on the ground. Defensive standouts were Pellerin, Cameron Tomm, Reuben Reardon and Carlos Wormald.

The Junior Hawks continue league play tonight at 5:30 p.m. against Langley Secondary at Mouat Field.

FUNDRAISING

Thanks to their special compound, winter tires offer the elasticity required to ensure maximum grip throughout the cold season, regardless of the road conditions.

Summer tires can become hard when the temperatures fall below 7 degrees Celsius, thereby losing the flexibility needed to build up sufficient grip for braking, starting off, and cornering. Because of their greater suppleness in the cold, winter tires are able to interlock with the asphalt, snow, and ice, even at lower temperatures.

UFV honours top athletes

Connor O’Dell, Kayla Klim and Dani Shap have been named the University of the Fraser Valley’s athletes of the week.

O’Dell and Shap helped the Cascades men’s and women’s golf teams, respectively, win PacWest conference championships on the weekend. Both finished atop the individual standings at the seasonending UFV invitational tourney at Chilliwack Golf and Country Club, and Shap was PacWest female golfer of the year.

Klim, a goalkeeper with the UFV women’s soccer team, was the player of the match last Friday as the Cascades tied the Calgary Dinos 1-1, and she followed that with a shutout win over the Lethbridge Pronghorns on Saturday. Klim was subsequently named the Canada West conference’s third star of the week.

Russian Red Rocambole Hardneck Garlic has a strong garlic flavour and a warm sweet aftertaste.

This heirloom variety was brought to BC by Doukhobor immigrants from Russia in early 1900s. 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.

Learn more directly from the growers about Russian Red Garlic and many other unique varieties of locally grown, tasty treats available now.

HOOD Stuart David 1919 ~ 2013 Stu, as he was most commonly known, passed away peacefully on October 2, 2013. He will be remembered dearly by his beloved wife Lorraine of 64 years, their children Rob, Ken, Laurie and Carol-Lynn, and grandchildren James, Carissa, Stu, Sam, Stephanie and Andrew. Stu’s soul and spirit now soars with his brother Doug. The two were commonly seen together over the past decade, recounting adventures of lives well lived in Mission where they were born, married, raised families, and left a legacy. Stu will be remembered for his welcoming smile, generosity, and dedication to home, family and friends. Stu was predeceased by his son Gord in 1973 and granddaughter Maddie in 2012.

Stu’s life will be honoured Saturday, October 12, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. during a tea at the Mission Legion where Stu was a life member following his days in the Royal Canadian Navy. The Hood family welcomes those who wish to attend as we celebrate the life of the man we were all honoured to know and love.

Cheryl Joan Dec. 27, 1945 ~ Sept. 21, 2013

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Cheryl Sharpe on September 21st at Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Cheryl was born in Natal, BC, grew up in Grand Forks, and lived in Penticton and Calgary, where she married Jim Sharpe. After moving to the Lower Mainland she enjoyed a long career in banking before eventually retiring from administration for the Correctional Service of Canada at Matsqui Institution in Abbotsford. She was predeceased by her husband Jim in February 2013 and her father Joe Altomare in 2001. She is loved and missed by her mother Joan Altomare, Penticton, BC; her children Jeff Gale (Debbie), Abbotsford, BC and Teri Sharpe, Langley, BC; her brother Jim Altomare (Wendy), Vancouver, BC; her brother-inlaw David Sharpe (Carolyn), Stratford, ON, grandchildren Kerri Neufeld, Ashley Gale, and great-grandson Jordie Neufeld. Nieces and nephews Erin Altomare, Chad Altomare, Robin Sharpe, Brianna Sharpe and Michael Sharpe. Also her long time closest friend Carol Davidson, Abbotsford, BC. The family would like to extend a special thanks to family physician Dr. Donald Scaman for his many years of service and also to the staff in the Palliative Care Unit at Abbotsford Hospital for the comfort and care in Cheryl’s final days.

No service by request. Anyone wishing to do so may make donations in Cheryl’s name to the B.C. Cancer Agency or the Abbotsford Hospice Society.

Local Clinic Unveils New Laser Therapy Centre

A

nnouncing the immediate offering of MLS Laser Therapy in the Abbotsford area. The addition of this exciting and effective technology is part of Cascadia Chiropractic Centre’s continued investment in advanced technologies and progressive procedures in the chiropractic/podiatric/pain management field.

Laser therapy has been used effectively for many years, but advances in technology have produced “the next generation of laser therapy” with the new MLS (Multi-wave Locked System) Laser Therapy which uses specific wavelengths of light to treat painful and debilitating conditions. With laser therapy Dr. Simpson Leung can offer relief to those suffering with both chronic and acute ailments such as back and joint pain, tendinitis, arthritis, disc disease and sprains and strains without the use of painful injections or potentially habit forming drugs.

“We are very excited to be able to offer this new and dramatic treatment option to patients,” Dr. Leung said. Laser therapy is painless, with treatments usually lasting several minutes, and most patients see

COMMONLY TREATED CONDITIONS: • Arthritis (knees, hips, hands etc.)

• Bursitis • Sciatica • Chronic and acute pain • Neck, back and shoulder pain • Muscle sprains/strains • Inflammation, swelling and edema • Plantar Fasciitis (heel/arch pain) • Tendinitis and ligament injuries • Post-surgical swelling • Degenerative joint and disc disease • Trigger points and sore muscles

positive results in just 1-3 treatments.

“When a physical condition or injury affects mobility or quality of life, there is one goal: a rapid return to every day activities. We now have the most advanced equipment on the market to deliver these results; results that include a very rapid reduction in pain, strong anti-inflammatory effect, and immediate improvement of local blood circulation,” states Dr. Leung. “More and more, our patients are looking for effective treatment options that are less invasive, have no side effects, provide rapid results and speed the healing process.

Laser therapy provides us with an opportunity to meet the needs of our patients, and offer the highest levels of care possible.”

Dr. Leung summarizes, “We pride ourselves on staying on the leading edge of technology, and educating our patients on the various levels of care available. Laser therapy is the future of the chiropractic/podiatric/ pain management industry, and we feel our patients deserve to have that option when choosing the best care for themselves.”

For additional information about laser therapy, contact the staff at 604-853-4441.

10 BENEFITS OF MLS LASER THERAPY: • Drug-free, rapid relief of pain • Strong anti-inflammatory effect • Immediate improvement of local blood circulation • Rapid resolution of swollen areas • Accelerated tissue repair and cell growth • Rapid repair of superficial injuries such as wounds and ulcers • Reduces scar tissue formation • No known side effects • Non-surgical, painless and non-invasive

Dr. Robert Turner has served the community as a chiropractor since 1978.

In the early ‘80s, he built our clinic, and has practiced here since. In 2009, he sold the practice to Dr. Cormack. Dr. Turner continues to see his patients one and a half days a week.

Dr. Robert Cormack Dr. Rob Cormack graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto in 1980. After twenty five years of practice in Prince George, he moved to England and worked in a Chiropractic clinic in the city of Norwich for four years. In 2009, Rob returned to Canada, and assumed the practice of Dr. Robert Turner.

Dr. Dorothea McCallum Dr. McCallum graduated from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 1988.

Dorothea practiced in Vancouver after college and moved back to Abbotsford in 2004. She joined Ventura Chiropractic in June of this year and is looking forward to serving the Abbotsford community for many years to come.

THE PULSE 2013 / 5

Get The Most Out Of Life With Dentures Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been told you need dentures and, like most people in your position, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unsure and probably nervous about what to expect. Change is never easy, especially when it involves something as personal as your mouth. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like most people 40 and older, you place a lot of importance on your smile because you believe it is the first thing that people notice about you. Your fears are not uncommon and many of the patients we see who need dentures express the same concerns.

Many people older than 40 are missing multiple teeth and have a full or partial denture, which means someone you know may be going through the same transition as you and may not even be aware of it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because dentures arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as noticeable as you may think. Dentures can be made to closely resemble the look of your natural teeth so there is little change in appearance.

By replacing missing teeth dentures can help you speak better, improve the chewing of most foods, and restore a natural-looking smile. After a period of adjustment, proper fitting dentures will be comfortable and they will boost your self-esteem.

When you first start wearing dentures, you may find pronouncing certain words may require practice, but reading out loud and repeating troublesome words helps. This practice will train the tongue and lips to relax and these difficulties will correct themselves in a short time.

Your new dentures may feel awkward for 6-8 weeks until you get used to them. The dentures may also feel loose while the muscles of your cheek and tongue learn to keep them in place.

This feeling will fade as your mouth becomes accustomed to your new dentures. However, during this time, you may want to consider using a small amount of denture adhesive to help keep your dentures in place. After 10 to 12 months your healing should be complete and your dentures will need relining for a better fit.

Hundreds of thousands of people wear dentures with ease and, in time, you too will feel comfortable, secure and successful in wearing your dentures.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why is there such a wide range in the cost of a denture?

Cost=Quality. A quality, well-fitting, and natural looking denture takes time to make and costs more.

How long will my dentures last?

There is not a removable prosthesis made for the mouth that is permanent. The mouth is constantly changing so on average, a partial or a denture may be expected to last about 5 years.

Why are my dentures becoming loose?

If your dentures are over 5 years old and if they have not been relined every 2 years you probably will have some problems with the fit of your dentures. Your gum tissue and jaw bone shrink with time. This causes the denture to become loose resulting in a poor fit. Poor fitting dentures can lead to bite problems, speech impediments and tissue irritations. Leaving this condition unchecked can lead to complicated situations in the future. A visit to your denturist for an oral health examination will determine the cause of your ill-fitting dentures.

Should I take my dentures out at night?

If you choose to keep your dentures in overnight, always clean them thoroughly before you go to bed - just as you would your natural teeth, but use a denture cleanser rather than toothpaste, as toothpaste can scratch dentures. Leaving your dentures out at night gives your mouth and gums an opportunity to recover from the effort of supporting your dentures during the day. When dentures are left out of the mouth, they should be placed in a container filled with water to prevent drying and possible dimensional changes of the denture base material. It is also important to maintain good oral hygiene by cleaning gums, cheeks and tongue with a soft toothbrush where bacteria also resides.

How do I take care of my dentures?

Your dentures are an investment and require care and attention. Just like natural teeth, dentures always need to be cleaned morning and night in order to remove food particles and plaque. This is best done with a mild denture cleanser.

Your denturist will help maintain your denture(s) and oral tissues so they stay at their optimum performance. The fit and function of your dentures and oral tissues are an integral part of your well-being. An annual examination by your denturist will ensure peace of mind.

How long will the implants for my (dentures over implants) last?

Reports show many implants lasting 20 years or a life time with proper care and regular yearly check-ups at your dental professional. These are the factors which could reduce the life expectancy of your implants: â&#x20AC;˘ your general health â&#x20AC;˘ oral hygiene â&#x20AC;˘ smoking â&#x20AC;˘ grinding your teeth Some parts of the implants may need replacing with time because of wear or deterioration. The dentures themselves should be replaced every 5 years and relined every 2 years.

Denturists are denture specialists; they specialize in the manufacturing of denture prosthetics. Denturists have a professional designation of Registered Denturist (RD). You do not need a referral from another health professional to consult with a Denturist. A Denturist can refer you to other health care professionals. Denturists are proficient and time effective in the delivery of denture treatments. Most Denturists fabricate your prosthetics on premises, ensuring quality control and care.

TOOTH TALK TIP: WHILE MANY OF US ARE OUTSIDE PLAYING AND ENJOYING THE MOST CONSECUTIVE SUNNY DAYS IN HISTORY, IT’S GOOD TO KNOW SOME BASIC DENTAL FIRST AID TIPS JUST IN CASE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT.

READING GLASSES? NO WAY!

TOOTH TRAUMA

ASK US ABOUT:

See what you have been missing CHILDREN UNDER 6

In general, children under 6 years old still have baby teeth unless their adult teeth come early. Most minor injuries to baby teeth do not have long term effects on permanent teeth especially if they are managed properly.

CHILDREN OVER 7

On the other hand, children 7 and above usually have some permanent adult teeth in the front. The outcome when these adult teeth are hurt can be significant and long lasting so it’s good to know what to do when there is dental trauma.

exposed. Gently rinse the mouth with warm water to remove dirt and other debris. Try to find the tooth fragment so that your dentist can reattach it to the broken tooth in the future. If there is any swelling in the lip and face in the area of injured tooth, applying cold press will be helpful.

If an adult tooth is chipped, check to see if there is any bleeding from the chipped area because the nerve from the tooth may be

Accuracy. Precision. Safety

PREVENTION

Since prevention is always better than the cure, if your child plays contact sports, consider having a mouthguard made for them. This will reduce the chance of injuries to their teeth and you won’t have to worry about using these dental first aids tips.

BOOK ONLINE! valleylasereyecentre.com

ADULTS

When an adult tooth is completely knocked out, try to stay calm and find the tooth. Do not touch the root part of the tooth and do not brush or scrub the tooth. If possible, try to insert the tooth back into the socket where the tooth has the best chance of surviving. If this is not possible, store the tooth in “Save a Tooth” (www.saveatooth. com) solution or cold milk and find your dentist right away as the outcome is highly time sensitive.

The future is here!

EAT HEALTHY TIP: TO GET YOUR OWN COPY OF THE CANADA FOOD GUIDE GO TO HC-SC.GC.CA AND SEARCH FOR “CANADA’S FOOD GUIDE”. THE GUIDE IS AVAILABLE IN 12 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.

PORTION DISTORTION In a world of super-sized food it can be hard to know how much food we actually need to eat each day. Even going out for dinner will often result in a plate that’s way too big with way too much food on it. And for most people, we eat what’s in front of us without a lot of thought about how much food it really is. We’ve lost sight of what healthy portion sizes are, we have portion distortion.

Canada’s Food Guide helps you and your family know how much food you need and what types of foods are better for you. There are four food groups and within each food group there is a guideline for how many “servings” you should eat each day. It’s important to remember that even if you’re on a specialized eating plan (ie. vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc.) there are options within each food group that would work for you.

To get your portion sizes under control, try using a kitchen scale to weight out the portions of your foods for a couple of days. Compare those amounts to the portion sizes listed in the Canada Food Guide and see if you are eating a healthy amount. Here are some examples (from the Canada Food Guide) of single portions for the different food groups:

WORK IT

TIP: LACK OF TIME/ MONEY/KNOWLEDGE ETC. ARE OFTEN LABELED AS BARRIERS TO BEING MORE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE. BARRIERS ARE JUST A POLITE WAY OF SAYING EXCUSES. BECAUSE REALLY, THAT’S WHAT ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE, THEY ARE EXCUSES SO THAT WE LET OURSELVES OFF THE HOOK WHEN IT COMES TO TAKING CARE OF OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH.

BUT I DON’T HAVE TIME TO EXERCISE! It costs too much, I feel guilty for taking time away from my family, it’s boring, I don’t know where to start. The reasons to not be physically active go on and on. Here is the funny thing, when you truly want something; you find a way to make it work. Think about it, this is how we prioritize things in our lives. The things that are most important, we make happen.

For info on healthy living visit: healthyabbotsford.ca

When you are choosing a goal to work towards make sure that it is something that YOU actually want to achieve. Not something that you think you should do or something that other people think you should do. If it isn’t something that you really WANT, it isn’t going to happen. So now think about a health related goal that you WANT to achieve. Write it down

on a piece of paper. Now write down all the “barriers”, all the things that get in the way of you doing what you need to do to reach that goal. These barriers only have control over us when we don’t think there is another option. So, let’s bust up the barriers by brainstorming some things we can do when that barrier comes up. Here is an example:

GOAL: GO FOR A WALK THREE TIMES PER WEEK

CHILDCARE FOR MY KIDS: Take your kids with you, if your partner is home in the morning go for a walk before they leave for work, walk while the kids are at school.

YOU GET THE IDEA: For each of your barriers write down at least three things you can do when that barrier comes up. This way you know that you have options.

REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE OUR GOALS: A priority if we truly want to

BARRIERS AND OPTIONS:

achieve them. And it is a lot

IT’S RAINING OUTSIDE: Wear waterproof clothing, walk up and down the stairs inside your house, go to the mall and walk inside.

off the couch and find those

easier to make things that we WANT to do, a priority. So, get things that you want to do and do them! No more excuses – this is your life, you choose how to live it!

HEALTHY KIDS TIP: KIDS DON’T NEED PERMISSION TO WALK TO SCHOOL. THEY DON’T NEED A LICENSE. THEY CAN DO IT RIGHT NOW. EXERCISE BEFORE SCHOOL IMPROVES ATTENTIVENESS IN CLASS, AND LEADS TO BETTER GRADES. PLUS, IT PROVIDES AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO BECOME INDEPENDENT.

WALK TO SCHOOL HOW TO KEEP YOUR KIDS SAFE WHEN WALKING TO SCHOOL YOUR CHILD SHOULD: • Walk with friends.

• Take the safe route agreed upon by their family from home to school, or to a friend’s house, community centre, etc.

Always take that route — do not take short cuts off the agreed route.

• Be aware of appropriate safe places on your route; for instance friend’s homes, community centres, local shops or businesses you know.

• Tell someone where you are going, on what route, and when they’ll be back.

• Choose a family password. Never go with an adult unless they know this word.

• Phone home when leaving friends, school, etc. and say when you’ll be back. Phone home if you are delayed, or if your plans change. Let your family know the route you plan to take.

• Wear their backpack loosely so they can let it go should someone use it to grab them.

• Keep their ears open, and not wear headphones with the music playing so loud they can’t hear people approaching from behind or traffic.

• Be wary and not offer to assist strangers, teenagers included.

• If they see another child in trouble or they are approached by a stranger, yell loudly and run for help to home, to a friend’s home or open business.

Active transportation is a great way to build physical activity into your daily life. Physical activity contributes to the mental, physical and emotional well-being of people of all ages — but is especially vital for children whose bodies and habits are still developing (hastebc.org).

According to Active for Life, In 1969, only 12% of the population was driven to school. Today, only 12% of the population walk to school. In one generation we have completely inverted the way we get to school, and that matters for three reasons: 1. Walking to school is a rite of passage. By doing so, children begin to understand who they are in relation to their neighbourhood, their community,

their world. The walk provides trials to be overcome.

If we prevent children this chance to develop autonomy, we put the future of our society at risk.

2. As walking has decreased, obesity has significantly increased. Obese children face the obstacle of not being able to participate in day-to-day activities taking place at school, which can have a psychological impact. Children who walk to school are more likely to be active throughout the day.

3. We need to live more simply. We’re taking more from the Earth than the planet has to give, and creating more waste than it can assimilate. What’s more simple — and green — than strapping on your shoes and walking to school?

• Trust their instincts and feelings. If they don’t feel safe, leave.

They should call parents, or other trusted adult for help if they don’t feel good about a situation.

STOP SMOKING TIP: THE WORDS MAKE A DIFFERENCE, SAY “I CHOOSE TO LIVE TOBACCO FREE” RATHER THAN “I QUIT SMOKING.”

FOR THE HEALTH OF IT It’s never too late to quit smoking! From the moment you quit your health will begin to improve.

SEE HOW YOU WILL BENEFIT: WITHIN 8 HOURS: • Oxygen level goes back to normal.

• Carbon monoxide levels drop.

WITHIN 48 HOURS: • Chances of having a heart attack start to decrease.

• Sense of taste and smell start improving.

WITHIN 72 HOURS: • Breathing will get easier as your bronchial tubes relax.

• Lung capacity begins to increase.

WITHIN 2 WEEKS TO 3 MONTHS: • Circulation improves and exercising becomes easier.

• Lung-capacity can increase by as much as 30%.

WITHIN 6 MONTHS: • Improvements in coughing, sinus congestion, tiredness, shortness of breath and colds.

WITHIN 1 YEAR: • 50% reduction in risk of smoking related heart attack.

WITHIN 10 YEARS: • Your risk of dying from lung cancer will decrease by half.

WITHIN 15 YEARS: • Your risk of dying from a heart attack is the same as a person who has never smoked.

CONTROL YOUR CRAVINGS: USE THE 4 DS As you start to cut down on your tobacco use, here are four simple things to remember when your cravings hit.

DRINK WATER: Drink a glass of water, slowly. Hold each sip in your mouth for a few seconds.

DELAY: Don’t smoke when you feel the urge, wait five minutes and the craving will pass.

DISTRACT: Keep your hands and mind busy. Do something which makes it difficult to smoke (like having a shower or exercising). If you would like further support dealing with cravings consult your pharmacist, physician or a Care Coach at QuitNow by Phone to discuss other options to help you quit.

DEEP BREATHE: Breathe in deeply through your nose and hold it for a count of five.

Slowly breathe out through your mouth for the count of seven.

HELPING STUDENTS & FAMILIES CHOOSE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE Students are more likely to succeed if they are healthy and active.

Here are some tips for parents to encourage healthy eating and an active lifestyle for their children: • Encourage your children to eat breakfast every day, as it provides fuel for the brain to learn and helps them maintain a healthy weight.

• Keep nutritious foods, like cutup vegetables and fruit, cheese sticks, yogurt and butter-free

popcorn on hand to make healthy snacking easy.

MIRACLE DRUG

PRESCRIPTION . . . it reduces your risk of many chronic diseases including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, osteoporosis and even depression.”

“Nothing is certain but death and taxes”. While taxes may always be a painful certainty, our own mortality is a much deeper reality that inspires a cascade of emotions, from fear to reflectiveness. We all know those nagging thoughts when we go to our doctor with the sense of something just not feeling right. Imagine, though, after insisting it’s just a stomach bug, your doctor sent you out the door with a prescription for a “miracle drug”. You head off to the pharmacy where you are given a box of pills and a pamphlet.

Reading the label you are shocked to find that this one drug promises not only to add years to your life, but improve the quality of those years. The pamphlet explains how it reduces your risk of many chronic diseases including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, osteoporosis and even depression.

What’s more, you pay whatever you want for refills, and the more you take, the greater the drug’s effects. A miracle drug indeed!

about it (70%), few gave any written, specific instructions (15.8%), and even less referred patients to exercise professionals (10.9%).3 Given the power and evidence behind physical activity as a medical treatment, the global “Exercise is Medicine” initiative has called doctors to include exercise consultation with all of their patients. After all, what kind of doctor leaves their most effective prescription in their pocket?

What if you were actually to receive a basic prescription for exercise; how would it look and what is the recommended dosage?

The Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines, built upon a large body of research regarding physical activity and health, propose the following: 1. 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity/week in at least 10 minute bouts. This includes anything from brisk walking to more intense cardio.

This scenario isn’t that far off from what could really happen.

Reading this, you likely already know the ‘drug’ which the good doctor prescribed — physical activity. The only things missing on the label are “no pills required” and “take with food and water”.

Given the strong link between physical activity levels and the chronic diseases mentioned above, the dangers of failing to take this ‘prescription’ are startling. One of the most well-known studies regarding physical activity and health was done by Dr. Steven Blair, a world-leading physical activity researcher. By following over 13,000 people for over 8 years, he found about 16% of deaths were linked to low cardiorespiratory fitness. This accounted for more deaths than smoking, diabetes, and obesity, combined!1 This information is even more alarming considering almost half (46%) of Canadians are not physically active enough.2

Like our imagined scenario, you can pay whatever you desire, get unlimited refills, and change the way you take it. You can take your prescription by attending a bootcamp class, walking with your family, hiring a personal trainer, or playing some pick-up basketball. For those people who are completely sedentary, even going for short walks provides many of the benefits associated with physical activity.

The shocking thing: many doctors let their patients walk out of their offices without prescribing them this miracle drug of physical activity. A large survey of about 15,000 Canadian physicians showed that while many doctors (85%) asked their patients about their physical activity and made some sort of verbal statement

Though it is sad that many doctors fail to write their most effective prescription, it is even more disappointing when people with the prescription simply refuse to take it. As the medical community in Abbotsford takes steps forward to better administer this drug, we ask that you would move forward with us, and start moving.

2. Muscle and bone strengthening activity should be done at least 2 times/week.
