Homeless numbers up Abbotsford among Valley communities seeing increase

Jennifer FEINBERG Black Press

The number of homeless people in Abbotsford rose from 117 to 151 between 2011 and 2014.

Though homelessness stayed stable in the Fraser Valley, the number of homeless climbed in several communities including Abbotsford, Mission and Boston Bar, while Chilliwack and Hope saw a decrease since the last survey, according to preliminary totals released Tuesday from the 2014 FVRD Homeless Count.

The Fraser Valley Regional District count is

a “snapshot” or point-in-time survey, which was conducted by volunteers simultaneously as the Metro Vancouver count in March over a 24-hour period.

“What we know, after doing this now for the fourth time in a decade, is that since 2004, homelessness is not just a Metro Vancouver issue; it is indeed an issue here in our communities as well,” said Ron Van Wyk, homeless count research co-ordinator, in a presentation Tuesday to the FVRD Regional and Corporate Services Committee.

From 2011 to 2014, the overall total in the

FVRD has remained “fairly flat,” he said, shifting from 345 people to 346 who self-identified as homeless. The latest total is still well below the record high for the region of 465 homeless enumerated in 2008.

When asked what would end their plight of homelessness, the answer most often given to volunteers was “affordable housing.”

From 2011 to 2014, Mission’s numbers went from 54 to 75 people.

Those increases contrast with a decrease seen in Chilliwack. The 2011 count found 111 Continued on A7

“I look at Northern Gateway and see a project that will build families and communities for generations.

That’s what I’m most proud of.”

- Catherine Pennington, Senior Manager, Community Benefits & Sustainability

Meet the expert: Catherine Pennington spearheads our community benefits and sustainability initiatives which include education and skills development.

For over 10 years, she has lived and worked in Northern B.C. with First Nation and Métis communities, creating partnerships and programs that focus on improving employment and social outcomes for the long term.

We at Northern Gateway are committed to ensuring that jobs and business opportunities will be available to people living near the Project’s right-of-way.

IT ALL ADDS UP TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT In Catherine’s experience, removing barriers to employment has a huge impact – not just on individual job seekers, but on their communities as well. When you connect someone to a job, you also build individual and social pride, enhanced connections, dignity and ultimately, stronger sustainable communities.

“As a trained social worker with experience in community development, I have found it very rewarding to work in Industry.

You have the opportunity to create really meaningful outcomes that are mutually beneficial. Our model of shared responsibility for working with communities is unique and is being emulated by other companies.”

DEDICATED TO MEANINGFUL ABORIGINAL INCLUSION Catherine connects willing job seekers with existing and emerging opportunities. She is focused on helping the Project meet its goal of having Aboriginal people comprise 15 per cent of the construction workforce.

“Many Northern communities are experiencing or have experienced desperate cycles of poverty, in part due to a lack of the necessary skills for the existing employment opportunities.

I believe people in Northern and North Western B.C. have yet to fully realize their enormous potential. By actively investing in better education and skills training, opportunities for advancement and connections to good, steady jobs, we know we can make a real difference.”

SUCCESS ACROSS THE NORTH We have held discussions with numerous training providers, colleges, universities and employment service providers in Northern B.C. to identify programming needs to help Aboriginal and local people take advantage of the surge in energy projects in the region. We have also worked to tailor programming to the needs of individual communities.

“Fundamentally, there’s nothing more powerful than helping someone make that connection to employment, because it leads to a larger, more positive and healthier social outcome.”

As a company and a neighbour, we want to see Northern residents get the best opportunities because that benefits us all.

It’s how we will build more than a safer, better pipeline, we will help build a better B.C.

Site located off Abbotsford-Mission Highway next to transfer station

Abbotsford News

An empty lot on Valley Road off the Abbotsford-Mission Highway is the proposed site for a transitional housing campground in Abbotsford.

The Abbotsford Dignitarian Society, a group made up of 18 members, including seven from the homeless community, is moving forward with plans to build a project similar in concept to Portland’s Dignity Village.

The location is next to the transfer station, across the highway from Willband Creek Park.

The property belongs to a member of the society – and the group plans to enter into a lease.

Paul MacLeod, former president of the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association (ADBA) and a member of the society, said they have taken some of the homeless members to the site and “they are excited about it.”

architect in the society who is working on a plan for the structures.

The ADBA approved a $10,000 contribution to the society at its annual general meeting in March.

The society is presenting its proposal to the city’s task force on homelessness in June, as they are asking for a temporary land use permit for the site, and for sewer and water supply. MacLeod

said sewer and water runs right by the property and they will be asking the city to install access on the site.

If granted the permit, MacLeod said they hope to quickly move ahead with the project.

In the meantime, the society aims to look after the immediate needs of the homeless at the camps in town, including food, toilets and garbage removal.

68% of homeless from outside region From A1

homeless in Chilliwack, while the total dipped this year to 73 people.

Hope went from 43 to 22 homeless. “We still have work to do but I think we need to take some bit of encouragement, or hope from the fact that the numbers are not running away on us,� Van Wyk said.

About 32 per cent told volunteers they were born and raised in the FVRD area, while 68 per cent come to the Valley from outside the region.

There are more men than women who are homeless, and 73 per cent are considered “unsheltered,� which is the technical term for living on the streets.

A significant proportion are on welfare, about 30 per cent, while 13 per cent receive disability benefits. “Also interesting to note is that there are also a few that do parttime employment, and even some that work full-time,� said Van Wyk. Many reported living with health conditions, such as asthma, arthritis or hypertension.

Similar to previous findings nationwide, 22 per cent self-reported struggling with mental health illnesses or issues. “We know from service providers too that the prevalence of people having a mental health issue is quite high among people who are living homeless, and presents a big challenge to those of us providing services.�

Those who say they struggle with a combination of mental health issues and addictions are a significant number at 64 per cent. “As leaders and people concerned about this, a big part of this for people living homeless, and the solution to it, relates to health services and health issues,� said Van Wyk. In terms of finding answers, he listed: better health services and access to physicians to deal with health problems, more treatment facilities and support for those coming out of incarceration.

After the presentation Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman asked

what level of support would be needed to curb homelessness and provide affordable housing, and if those details would be coming in the final report. “We talk about affordable housing, but it’s a pretty broad statement,� Banman said. “Is it $300 or $500 that we’re talking about, or what level would be needed to provide support?�

Van Wyk confirmed that information would be forthcoming in a more detailed final report. “I don’t say this in a derogatory way, but those who are living homeless, they are messed up,� he said, noting that some have had unconventional childhoods with “unbelievable forms of abuse.�

What is needed in the wake of closed institutions in B.C., is more “humane institutionalization,� and a way to deal with the culture of substance abuse, he said.

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I Wednesday, May 14, 2014

Don’t dump on homeless Two of the most visible homeless enclaves in Abbotsford were tidied up to a degree this past Saturday, as city workers, service providers and homeless residents gathered to remove garbage, but not displace the residents.

The Gladys Avenue sites, including one across from the Salvation Army, and the teepee camp a few hundred metres farther west, were targeted to “help the folks who are in the camp to better health and wellness,” according to Salvation Army spokesperson Deb Lowell.

The effort was initiated by the Salvation Army and the 5 and 2 Ministries, with help from CP Rail and BC Hydro. Dozens of bags of trash were collected and trucked away.

It certainly doesn’t bring a long-awaited close to these unsightly camps, but it was a commendable initiative by the agencies and the city, and something that will help build better relations with

the homeless and, hopefully, a long-term solution.

But what’s irresponsible in the extreme is members of the public dropping off items such as refrigerators and sofas at homeless camps, according to reports from their occupants.

While it is conceivable the people dropping off couches thought they were doing a good deed, clearly they didn’t think about furniture sitting in the rain, becoming just more trash.

It’s beyond any logic to regard a fridge being deposited at a homeless camp as anything other than illegal dumping.

This city already has a problem in that regard – to the tune of $50,000 spent in 2013 to pick up other people’s messes left on roadsides, especially in rural areas.

The homeless have enough issues of their own – don’t add to them with your junk.

Reality also means there will be losses Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand Living in the country is, in many ways, like food for the soul.

On a warm spring evening, the big moon casting a ghostly glow over the landscape, there’s nothing like the stirring, ethereal songs of coyote packs; their yips and howls, though sounding mournful, are actually broadcasting success of yet another meal scored.

Annoying though they may be if you keep sheep or chickens, their field foraging controls both the bunny and mouse populations. Better, particularly the latter, to have them in a coyote’s craw than in the house.

At night, with the windows and balcony door open, the myriad frogs that

populate the ponds sing us to sleep, albeit for newcomers to the vicinity the constant spring-time croaking and chirping can be a little disconcerting. However, it is a sound you not only become accustomed to, but welcome when the weather finally warms after winter’s grip.

Those same ponds also attract wild ducks, their flashy breeding plumage a beautiful contrast to the green grass and yellow buttercups as they root about for bugs and seeds.

The ponds and frogs also attract another bird, the majestic great blue heron. Unfortunately, as they frequently fly from one favoured hunting site to another, they emulate the bombing runs reminiscent of Second World War newsreels.

Nothing like going out to your car on a Monday morning, already late for an appointment, to discover a line of processed frog, fish and other food arcing from the front wheel up across the driver’s door, the windows and roof to the other corner of the vehicle.

Such was the mess that even seeing out the window would have been difficult, calling for a high-pressure hosing down before entry, and later an explanation for how the day literally got off to a crappy start.

Short of parking under cover, there

However, in the grand scheme of things, experiencing a little avian excrement is trivial when others, through addictions or mental illness, live in squalor ... isn’t much one can do about it, though I did learn long ago not to park under a big willow tree when the starlings were flocking – a few hundred of them make a heron’s deposit look minor.

In a similar vein, I discovered that

if you ever go to White Rock or other beach for a leisurely lunch, feed the vast gathering of seagulls that will surround you.

Scaring them off causes the flock to wheel above, raucously squawking while each bird does its best to outdefecate the other.

Not a pretty scene, particularly when you have to strip down to skivvies before entering the car to ensure the upholstery doesn’t take on a permanent fishy aroma.

However, in the grand scheme of things, experiencing a little avian excrement is trivial when others, through addictions or mental illness, live in squalor, when abject poverty causes the mind to forget or ignore the beauty that surrounds us.

Much as I’d like to say we can change that, the sad reality, like the coyotes’ song, means with success there is often a loss and that no matter how much we try, some lives will always fall through the cracks. markrushton@abbynews.com

PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER

letters Don’t give up The Abbotsford Centre is not doomed forever.

The Heat was not the right fit for Abbotsford, but that does not mean the arena will never be cost-effective. For starters, there have been many concerts that have drawn large crowds, with some even selling out (Toby Mac, Florida Georgia Line).

The citizens of Abbotsford are willing to go to the Abbotsford Centre, but only under the right circumstances. A proactive approach would be to get a temporary hockey tenant until the Utica Comets’ lease ends.

When available, the Canucks would move the Comets to Abbotsford in a heartbeat. In the meantime, there are a plethora of local leagues that have teams that would be ecstatic to play at the 7,000seat, top-of-the-line centre.

For this next year, however, the focus should be exclusively on broadening the market for shows and concerts. With a clean slate for the year, Abbotsford should try and attract as many headlining shows as possible. This will not only raise appeal for potential ticket-buyers, but also for potential performers. I am confident I represent a majority of Abbotsford when I say that I will not give up on the arena this quickly.

Raymond Kobes Abbotsford

Cancellation shameful It is absolutely shameful that Abbotsford School District decided to cancel recess.

Management has supervised before and has the staff to cover supervision. Clearly, they do not care about the student needs and worry about their extra workload. It is an absolute joke that they cannot sacrifice this time needed for students.

Please support our hardworking teachers because they do drive their own vehicles to coach games at 8 o’clock at night because they care!

Lights not a factor Re: Lights chase away waterfowl, May 7.

As a bird-lover, I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment that too many geese are better than none at all, but I suggest that the cause for the fewer geese at Mill Lake does not lie with the lights. For starters, I’m not even sure the lights work, since geese are nesting on buildings around town under street lights, with good results. As well, a few healthy broods did hatch at the lake; certainly enough to keep them from dying out and also enough to provide us all with the joy of seeing goslings’ antics and growth. Although there were a good many geese in spring, most of them dispersed, as usual, into the countryside for the nesting season. They will return by the hundreds with their young in a few months.

The same applies to many of the mallards and other waterfowl. The coots disappear for the nesting season, as do the mergansers and cormorants – they raise their young at sea and possibly won’t return until next spring.

URoc Awards handed out by youth commission Youth Friendly Adult Awards, and Youth Friendly Businesses and Organizations.

Each honouree was given a certificate and a painted rock.

The Youth Awards recipients were Ariel Ceresney, a teen mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters; Charanpreet Mahal and Gurmeen Banipal, volunteers with Abbotsford Community Services; Farhan Ibrahim, a volunteer with

The Abbotsford Youth Commission (AYC) presented its annual URoc Awards to several groups and individuals last Wednesday afternoon.

The event took place at the AYC youth centre at Abbotsford Recreation Centre and was followed by a community appreciation ice cream social.

The awards have been presented since 2002 in three categories: Youth Awards,

Central Abbotsford Community School; and Rachel Bae, who volunteers at Menno Place.

Youth Friendly Adult Awards went to: Q City council-

lor Patricia Ross for her role in mentoring young people involved with the AYC youth council; Q Simone Maassen for her work with the Youth Resource Centre;

Q Lisa Steinbach, a volunteer at Cyrus Centre, a drop-in facility for at-risk youth; and Q Steve Carlton and Jim Callaghan for their work with the Clearbrook Kiwanis

Club.

Youth Friendly Business Awards were presented to: Q WestJet for supporting charities that work with children and youth; and

Q SippChai Cafe and owner Jas Anand, who volunteers as a youth mentor with Abbotsford Community Services and offers a youthfriendly workplace.

Residential spike pushes building permit values up Building permit values in Abbotsford jumped 115 per cent in March from February (seasonally adjusted), with soaring residential permit values offsetting a drop in non-residential values.

Those numbers are according to the Vancouver Regional Construction Association’s (VCRA) analysis of Statistics Canada Building Permit Report.

“March saw a dramatic spike in multi-unit residential permits, which will more than likely fall back to expected trend levels next month,” said Fiona Famulak, president of the VCRA. “Abbotsford’s economy continues to exhibit sustained growth signs that point towards upcoming residential and non-residential investment in the medium term.”

Seasonally adjusted non-residential permit values fell 62 per cent to $2.6 million in March 2014 from $6.9 million in February. Commercial permits dropped to $1.2 million from $3.3 million, while industrial permits rebounded 161 per cent to 1.4 million from $0.6 million, and institutional-government permits fell to near zero from $3 million previously. The seasonally adjusted value of residential permits spiked 667 per cent to $18.3 million in March 2014 from February’s $2.8 million.

Reject Metro waste bylaw: Abby chamber Critics say bylaw will be used to justify incinerator

Metro Vancouver’s proposed bylaw to control the flow of waste out of the region, including banning shipments to out-of-region transfer stations such as Abbotsford, is the subject of opposition from the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce.

The local chamber and the BC Chamber are calling on the provincial government to reject the proposed bylaw, which critics say will be used to ensure there is enough fuel to justify building a new garbage incinerator.

A news release from the Chamber states that the bylaw sets the stage for tipping fee hikes on businesses that could amount to up to 100 per cent or more within a few years in order to fund operating and capital costs such as a new waste-to-energy incinerator.

“This bylaw effectively dismantles a market-driven waste management system and installs a monopoly – and the fees that go with that,” said John Winter, president and CEO of the BC Chamber. “If this bylaw goes forward, Metro Vancouver would have the unilateral power to hike tipping fees at whim, and with zero accountability.”

Mike Welte, president of the Abbotsford chamber, also voiced concern with the bylaw for shutting private industry out of providing cheaper, greener solutions to Metro Vancouver’s waste management needs, such as mixed-waste material recovery facilities (MRFs), which he said “are a more effective tool to maximize material recovery from waste without threatening our fragile air shed in the Fraser Valley.”

John Winter said the BC Chamber and the chamber network across the region stand opposed to both the proposed bylaw and the broader incinerator plan.

Among other things, the Chamber network has voiced concern with the incinerator business plan, which is premised on securing funding from two tiers of government plus achieving BC Hydro preferential rates for electricity produced.

The BC Chamber and its partner chambers are calling on Metro Vancouver to pursue a more thorough examination of private-sector solutions to its waste management needs, with a focus on its own stated goal which is to maximize recycling and material recovery.

Abbotsford to host regional economic summit this fall Event will focus on opportunities and challenges for businesses The City of Abbotsford will host a regionally focused Fraser Valley Economic Summit (FVES) on Sept. 9 at the Abbotsford Centre.

The summit focuses on the economic opportunities and challenges unique to small- and medium-sized businesses in the Fraser Valley.

Building on the 2012 Abbotsford Economic Symposium, the summit has been restructured as a regional event drawing various levels of participation from the Township of Langley, City of Langley, District of Mission and the City of Chilliwack.

With a full agenda, the event will include a networking breakfast and lunch, three keynote speakers, a series of breakout sessions, and a mayor’s panel.

“We are thrilled to see the support that industry and association representatives have already demonstrated and we believe that this year’s event will be better than ever,” said Jake Rudolph, the deputy city manager.

displace native vegetation and can cause considerable economic and environmental damage, and some pose a health risk to people. Invasive plants may disrupt natural ecosystems, reduce biodiversity, increase soil erosion, alter soil chemistry and adversely affect commercial crops.

This grant is one of 29, totalling $1.6 million, which are being distributed provincewide to local governments, regional invasive species committees and the Invasive Species Council of B.C. to assist with their activities and support the objectives of the provincial invasive plant program.

The program identifies sites where invasive plant species have been found and responds rapidly to contain and eradicate them before they become established and start spreading.

This funding is in addition to the $809,000 already earmarked by the provincial government for invasive plant control and management in the fiscal 2014-15 year.

Lions, Panthers win Valley championships Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Abbotsford teams showed exceptionally well at the Fraser Valley high school girls rugby championships, highlighted by the Abby Senior Panthers and Yale Lions claiming regional titles.

For the Panthers, this sort of thing is old hat – they’re the two-time defending B.C. AA champs, and they added another Valley title to their trophy haul by beating their local rivals, the Robert Bateman Timberwolves, 5-0 at Exhibition Park last Thursday.

For the Lions, their 15-5 triumph in the AAA final over the Gleneagle Talons was of the landmark variety – it was the first

member of the Abby Senior coaching staff.

“Aside from the fact that both defences played extremely well, the weather did have an impact on the ability of the offence to carry on any kind of sustained attack. The ball was so slippery, and if it was a skip pass, the wind would catch it.”

The Panthers avenged a 12-10 loss to Bateman during the regular season, which was their first league defeat in more than two years.

“There’s a very high probability that we’ll meet them again in the provincial tournament,” Cannon said, alluding to the B.C. AA and AAA championships which

“The girls rugby program is stronger than ever at Yale,” enthused Lions team manager Marisa Meola.

Abby Senior vs.

Bateman in senior girls rugby is one of Abbotsford’s best high school sports rivalries, and the latest chapter was played out in unusual – and dramatic – circumstances.

The game was contested during a driving rainstorm, and when the dust – make that the mud – had settled, the Panthers had a hard-fought 5-0 victory, courtesy of Gurpreet Dhaliwal’s first-half try.

“It was like a monsoon out there,” chuckled Peter Cannon, a

Yale got tries from Emily Norrie and Sarah Klok vs. Gleneagle, along with a Norrie penalty kick and a covert from Sophia Degianni, while Alex Motoc was named player of the game.

The Lions will be the No. 2 seed at AAA provincials.

“We’re going there with a nice seeding,” Meola noted.

“Unfortunately we have some grads who have to come back for convocation.”

The T-Wolves, coming off an 18-3 win over the Lions in the regional semifinals last Thursday, face the Earl Marriott Mariners in the championship game at 7 p.m. at Rotary Stadium. The Lions, meanwhile, are on the road take on host Lord Tweedsmuir of Surrey at 3:30 p.m. in the bronze medal game.

Mariners rally to win B.C. title Abbotsford’s Magnuson Ford United Mariners women’s soccer team won the Provincial ‘B’ Cup on Sunday, knocking off Bombastic of Vancouver 3-2 at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex.

The Mariners controlled the early portion of the game, and opened the scoring in the ninth minute when when Kristen Vanderpauw buried a corner kick from Danielle Schmidt.

Bombastic tied it up on a penalty kick in the 18th minute, though, and went ahead in the 23rd on a free kick from just outside the penalty area that found the top corner, just out of the reach of Abby goalie Karlee Arden.

Vanderpauw’s second of the game, via a Megan Webster pass, drew the Mariners even in the 71st minute, and three minutes later, Shelby Beck slammed home the rebound off Ashandeep Sandu’s initial shot.

The Magnuson Ford United Mariners won the Provincial ‘B’ Cup on Sunday.

Ashley Yeamans was named MVP of the game, and other team members include Cassie Hugh, Ellen Kuyer, Heather Strating, Hilda Perlinger, Sally Burnell, Paige Dudzik and Stephanie Yaretz.

That stood up as the game-winner, as solid defending from Schmidt, Donna Pinning, Annika Reimer and Lauren Kruger denied Bombastic another shot on goal.

Rough week for Rebels

The Valley Rebels encountered some earlyseason turbulence last week, dropping two of three games.

Abbotsford's senior B men's box lacrosse team fell 12-4 to the Ladner Pioneers on the road on Thursday before bouncing back with a 10-6 triumph over the Langley Warriors the next night at MSA Arena. But on Sunday, they dropped an 11-10 decision to the Royal City Capitals.

"It wasn't pretty," coach Jim Nishiyama noted. "We didn't move the ball on offence, we weren't playing decent defence, and we got into

penalty trouble.

"I just think of it as a hiccup . . . we've got a lot of new guys, and they've got to get the chemistry going."

The Rebels’ lone win of the week saw them stomp on the gas in the third period against Langley. Nursing a 6-5 lead heading to the final frame, they out-scored the visitors 4-1 from that point, highlighted

by Sean Kelly's third and fourth goals of the night.

The Rebels (2-2) are off this week, and return to action at home on Friday, May 23 vs. the North Shore Indians (8 p.m., MSA Arena).

As of Monday afternoon, Boseko Lokombo’s football future was open-ended after he went unselected in the National Football League draft.

The linebacker out of Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat Secondary recently wrapped up his NCAA eligibility with the University of Oregon Ducks, and was pegged as a possible late-round selection in last week’s seven-round NFL talent lottery. But coming off shoulder surgery in February, the 6’2”, 233-pounder did not hear his name called.

The 23-year-old is now in the market for an NFL contract as an undrafted free agent (UDFA).

UDFAs typically face an uphill battle to crack a team’s roster, but there’s a long list of stars who got their start that

season.

The Canadian Football League is also an option – Lokombo was selected in the third round of the CFL draft last year by the B.C. Lions. He was the draft’s No. 1-rated prospect according to the league’s scouting

bureau, but lasted until the third round because it was expected he’d be NFL-bound.

Lokombo was a key contributor for the Ducks over the past four seasons, during which the program amassed a 47-6 record.

Brown wins national photography awards An Abbotsford photographer has been named Canada’s commercial photographer of the year.

Revival Arts’ Jason Brown also took home the best in class illustration award (Love Potion Number Nine), a best in class fine art award (Preposterous Erection), and a judge’s choice ribbon (Preposterous Erection).

The Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC) announced the winners of its 2014 competition at the Canadian Imaging Conference and Tradeshow April 29 in Winnipeg, Man.

A21

This year, there were 830 images entered and 56 per cent were accepted into the National Image Salon. When assessing the submissions, judges consider impact, creativity, style, composition and technique.

Brown said, “Winning the commercial photographer of the year award is a personal affirmation as all of the images this year were from self-directed projects that excite and drive me.”

This competition includes entries from across Canada in 21 different classes.

Brown has been pursuing photography since he bought his first SLR camera from the “Buckpasser” in 1997 and studied commercial photography at Langara College in Vancouver.

He has used his photography skills to support many nonprofit organizations locally and internationally such as Run for Water, The Crystal Gala, We Day, Matthew’s House and many more. He regularly does portrait and commercial photography for a wide range of clients throughout the Lower Mainland.

This year’s Mill Lake Cruise-in Car Show is set for Saturday, July 12, and co-ordinators are hoping to make this the biggest car show in Abbotsford.

The event runs 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is open to all specialty vehicles and car clubs.

The cost is $15 per vehicle with room for over 700 cars.

Pete Zomar, who coordinates the event with his wife Robbie, said that after the enthusiasm at last year’s show, which drew more than 400 vehicles, this year’s event “will be the biggest car show Abbotsford has ever seen.”

The show will feature muscle cars, street rods, hot rods, vintage cars, trucks, low-riders and more.

The event is free to the public, but donations are welcome and all proceeds will go to the MSA Museum Society and the Abbotsford Arts Council. Non-perishable food donations will also be accepted for the food bank.

Last year, the event raised more than $20,000 for local charities.

The event will also feature food vendors, trophies, prizes, live entertainment and the first 400 vehicles will receive dash plaques.

There will be a raffle with prizes including an 18-foot flatdeck car trailer and a 400-horsepower 383 stroker engine.

An Abbotsford mom and her son recently returned from a trip to Uganda, where they worked in children’s homes with Watoto, a non-profit agency that cares for 200 to 300 orphaned children.

Amanda Rauh led a team of 15 people from Canada, including her son, Jackson, 7, on the two-and-ahalf-week trip.

The group took 39 pieces of luggage that included items such as car seats, medical supplies, baby toys, formula and clothing.

Ja ck s o n eve n brought along some of his old hockey jerseys for some of the kids.

“They were wellreceived, even if they didn’t know what hockey was,” Amanda said.

The team worked in three different children’s homes, providing care, feeding, changing and love.

They also painted pools; built walls; cleaned, painted and organized medical storage facilities;

stand out, Amanda said.

“Some of the most memorable time in Uganda was watching the kids play together with my son.

“When Jackson met his sponsor brother David, whom we have sponsored since they were both two years old, it was like they were old friends.

Within minutes, they were giggling and singing songs and telling stories to each other.”

Amanda works with Watoto, which cares for children under the age of three before they move on to live with their adoptive families.

She has been to Uganda twice before – the last time in 2011 – and Jackson always wanted to join her.

Amanda promised her son he could come, but only if he could fundraise $2,000 towards the trip.

Jackson raised the funds by selling lemonade, collecting recyclables, and selling chocolate bars and some of his toys. The two hope that Jackson can return again in a few years.

Dream homes at Camden at The Falls

By Kerry Vital

Aquilini Development is bringing their master-planned community building expertise to Chilliwack with The Falls, an envisioned community of over 500 homes, set to be built around The Falls Golf Club.

Camden, their first release of just 47 single-family homes, offers a little piece of paradise for as low as $389,900.

“You walk out your door and you’re on the golf course, with rolling greens and

panoramic views,” says Macartney Greenfield, project manager for Rennie Marketing Systems. “There aren’t a lot of projects that can offer that resort-style living.”

Aquilini has released the first phase of single-family homes, and the response has been overwhelming, Greenfield says.

Floorplans range from 1,336 to 3,176 square feet, and each comes with a large double-car garage with tons of room for storage. The master-on-main floorplans have been particularly popular, Greenfield says. There is also a rancher floorplan available.

Buyers will have a vast array of choices when it comes to customizing their new home, including six different home types and elevation styles, eight exterior colour schemes and two interior colour schemes.

There are also several interior and exterior upgrade options available.

The location is one of the biggest draws for Camden at The Falls.

“People are amazed by how beautiful it is here,” Greenfield says. “It’s nestled into the side of the mountain with breathtaking views in every direction.”

To take advantage of the views, the homes have spacious covered decks and oversized windows. Nine-foot ceilings in the main living areas add to the airy feeling.

Laminate wood flooring is included throughout the main living areas, with porcelain tile in the bathrooms and lowpile carpeting in the bedrooms.

A gas fireplace in the living room is perfect for cozying up to in the colder weather, and a rough-in for a wet bar is included in some homes, making entertaining easy.

The kitchen is gourmet and refined, with stainless-steel appliances, shaker-style wood stained or flat-panel cabinetry and laminate countertops. A convenient kitchen island creates extra space, with pendant lighting above illuminating your tasks. A full-height walk-in pantry with built-in shelving is another convenient feature that demonstrates Aquilini’s commitment to their homeowners.

The master ensuite features a tempered glass shower enclosure and separate tub, with double sinks for plenty of his-andhers space.

Every home comes with a two-year membership to The Falls Golf Club, with additional discounts for the pro shop, restaurant and ongoing green fees. It truly is a golfer’s dream come true!

The Aquilini name has held a lot of weight for buyers at Camden at The Falls.

“Aquilini has strong local roots and is very committed to this community,” says

Greenfield. “You have the confidence factor of buying from a builder known for large developments and master-planned communities.”

Homeowners at Camden at The Falls won’t have to venture very far from their home to find anything they need.

“This is a very central community,” says Greenfield. “There’s a great school at the bottom of the hill, and you’re less than 10 minutes from Chilliwack.”

Trails, lakes and other outdoor recreation opportunities are also plentiful here.

Homes at Camden at the Falls start at $389,900. For more information, visit www. livethefalls.com, call 604-794-5722 or stop by the presentation centre at 8361 Nixon Road, Chilliwack, open 12 to 5 p.m. daily except Tuesdays, or by appointment.

LEGENDARY TIRE EVENT IS ON NOW! SAVE UP TO $100 SEE PAGE A18 FOR DETAILS

Alzheimer conference June 5

Day-long event features a number of presentations A day-long conference on Alzheimer’s disease is coming to Abbotsford next month.

Hosted by the Alzheimer Society of B.C., (ASBC) the June 5 event is titled “The ME in Dementia: Increasing Understanding Along the Dementia Journey,” and will take place at the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre on North Parallel Road.

On average, one in 11 Canadians over the age of 65 live with dementia – and that means their families and friends live with its impact too.

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, degenerative disease that attacks the brain and results in increasingly impaired memory, thinking, reasoning, and behaviour. Age is the single biggest risk factor: while dementia can affect people as young as 40, the risk doubles every five years after 65.

And approximately 14 per cent of the AbbotsfordMission population – more than 24,000 people – is already 65 or older.

The first step to coping with this health issue, said Jan Robson, provincial co-ordinator of programs and services for ASBC, is education. “Greater awareness can reduce fears that many people still have about dementia.”

The full-day session covers brain health, dementia and personal planning, and is designed to

ASIA presents Peter Pan May 14-15

benefit all residents concerned about dementia, she emphasizes.

Presentations during the day include: Q “Heads Up” for a Healthier Brain: Strategies for improving the health of your mind, body and spirit; Q Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia: The difference between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia and how the brain and behaviour are affected; Q communication and behaviour along the dementia journey: Explore ways to communicate with the person with dementia and understand how behaviour forms part of communication; Q personal planning: Legal options for planning ahead for the time when the person with dementia can no longer manage his or her affairs; Q research: Dr. Robin Hsiung from UBC will review some of the scientific progress being made in Alzheimer’s disease research and its potential future clinical directions.

The conference runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ramada Plaza & Conference Centre (36035 North Parallel Rd.). Pre-registration is required by May 30. For information call 1-855-742-4803 or email jrobson@alzheimerbc.org. Cost is $20. For more information visit alzheimerbc.org.

The Abbotsford School of Integrated Arts (ASIA) North Poplar campus presents a musical production of Peter Pan May 14-15.

The production celebrates the talent of several students and staff members. The collaborative production is directed by school principal Barbara Carter. She is accompanied by the award-winning Juno Award winning band entitled, 2 Limited Crew, comprised of JP Carter, Skye Brooks, Russell Sholberg, Dave Sikula.

The matinee has been sold out for weeks, but there are 6:30 p.m. tickets still available on both days. To buy tickets call 604-859-3101. ASIA is located at 2329 Crescent Way.
