Accident takes child’s life Five-year-old passes away in hospital after being struck by car Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The five-year-old girl who was struck by a car on Tuesday night in Abbotsford has died of her injuries.

Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald confirmed that the child passed away in hospital late Wednesday afternoon.

“The Abbotsford Police Department extends condolences to the family and friends of this young girl. We encourage continued support

for all those involved,” he said.

Dave Stephen, communications manager with the Abbotsford school district, confirmed that the girl, whose name has not been released, was a kindergarten student at Harry Sayers elementary.

“Our district response team is at the school today to support the administrators, help in talking to students in the young victim’s class, and support teachers and staff as needed,” Stephen said on Thursday morning.

The collision took place in a laneway north

of the 31500 block of Blueridge Drive just before 6 p.m. The child apparently ran out of a gate into an alley and was struck by a westbound Toyota Corolla.

Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said the 42-year-old female driver and her passenger remained on the scene.

Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service and BC Ambulance personnel provided medical treatment for the girl, and an air ambulance was called to the scene to transport her to hospital.

Some B.C. lawyers are once again planning to withdraw legal aid services in a bid to force the provincial government to pour more money into the system.

Bentley Doyle, spokesman for the Trial Lawyers Association of B.C. (TLA), said participating lawyers will halt work on existing legal aid cases and refuse new ones for the month of July.

Previous legal aid ‘strikes’ split the legal community and there’s no sign the tactic will be embraced by all lawyers this time either.

Doyle said 50 to 75 lawyers in Vancouver are on board, as well as a group in Kamloops and the aim is to recruit more in other areas.

“We have good support in places like Kelowna,” he said.

The plan is to continue the action in the fall with one-week-a-month stoppages starting in October. Both criminal and family law cases will be affected.

The recommendation of the TLA’s legal aid action committee comes on the heels of the provincial government’s decision to provide an extra $2 million for justice transformation pilot projects.

That boosts the budget of the Legal Services Society to $74.5 million, helping unwind some of the cuts of recent years, but the budget of the agency that provides legal aid is still down more than 20 per cent from 2001.

“It’s a drop in the bucket,” Doyle said of the extra money, which the province says will fund initiatives to more quickly resolve legal cases, such as mediation and out-of-court solutions.

The TLA continues to argue more

funding should come from the seven per cent legal services tax that it says B.C. originally created to fund legal aid, although successive governments have denied that was the intent.

“That seven per cent is generating more than $140 million per year for the government,” Doyle said. “The system is barely getting half of that back in legal aid.”

He said chronic underfunding of legal aid has meant tighter means tests over the years that leave a growing number of people inefficiently representing themselves before the courts.

B.C. Crown Counsel Association president Samiran Lakshman said self-represented litigants are an ongoing problem in the courts, adding nine out of 10 family law cases have at least one party appearing without a lawyer.

JASON ROESSLE Abbotsford News

Shawn Wang shows off his certificate of Canadian citizenship, which he and his mother and father earned Tuesday at a citizenship ceremony held at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium.

New Canadians welcomed

Forty-nine people officially became Canadian citizens Tuesday their list of reasons to leave Mexico for Canada.

Citizenship judge Dane Minor presided over the ceremony and said except for First Nations, most Canadians’ families have only been here for two to three generations, and therefore have a history of welcoming immigrants. But with that “open arms” attitude, he challenged the new residents to exhibit the same and accept everyone.

“You have a responsibility to help others and to make a difference,” he said.

Teachers continue rotating strikes on Thursday Abbotsford and Mission schools will be closed for classes again next week for one day, after the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) announced that teachers will continue their rotating strikes across the province.

The job action will take place in Abbotsford on Thursday, June 5 and in Mission on Friday, June 6.

This is in addition to the professional development day already scheduled in

Aquaris

Abbotsford for Monday.

Teachers held their first round of the rotating strikes this week, as part of the BCTF’s escalating job action, with Mission teachers taking part on Monday and Abbotsford teachers on Wednesday.

Abbotsford superintendent of schools Kevin Godden said, in a letter to parents, although schools are “technically open,” there will not be any staff “to provide the necessary supervision and

instruction for students.”

Buses will not be running, and preschool and Strong Start Centres will be closed.

The BCTF began job action in late April, with teachers refusing supervision outside classrooms and communication with school management.

The union is in a contract dispute with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association over pay, staffing levels, and class size and composition.

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Peace, safety, a stable political situation and opportunities for their children.

These are the key reasons expressed by a few of the 49 newest Canadian citizens as to why they uprooted their lives to come here.

A citizenship ceremony took place in Matsqui Centennial Auditorium Tuesday morning, with people from 10 countries swearing their allegiance to Canada.

Among those was Lalit

United States, Australia and New Zealand, and Canada was our number one choice.

“It just feels like this is my home.”

Maria Latapi and her family were originally from Mexico, and said the reason she and her husband Angel came to Canada was for the educational opportunities for their daughter Angeles.

“We were choosing between two or three countries, and we just decided that Canada was the right place to raise Angeles,” said Angel. The political climate and safety ranked high on

Chapman is coming to ABBOTSFORD ON WED. JUNE 11TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably?

• Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra?

• Do you overflow the cup of your bra?

• Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks?

• Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support?

• Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

QUESTION

WebTalk

OF THE WEEK With gas prices close to an all-time high, are you driving less as a result?

Run for Water It is not that I don’t support this run. I do. But there was no notice like there were other years about this, that our road would be shut down to local traffic and ... the need for emergency vehicles is important.

Amber Heitt

To answer, go to abbynews.com

We try our best to notify the public of the event. We sent out over 1,000 postcard/letters two weeks before, so everyone should have got one in the Bevan area.

Emergency crews have first priority in case of emergency. We also hire BC Ambulance and Abby Police crews so we don’t have an impact of the regular emergency staff.

Rob Quiring

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Do you support B.C. teachers’ one-day rotating strike action which will begin next week?

It was a great event. I went for the the first time and was very impressed. It’s a great way to keep the community together, and to get kids outside and exercising.

On Point Most journalists in the mainstream media are exposed to a daily diet of public input, including face-to-face exchanges, telephone calls, email and social media.

As such, we experience a wide range of dialogue, from intellectual and insightful, through emotion-based venting, to downright ugly, personalized vitriol.

Social media is king when it comes to that last category.

It’s not difficult to become cynical about people’s capacity to examine an issue and respond without resorting to derision.

Yet occasionally, an exchange occurs that restores my deepest faith in people and their conviction in upholding values I believe most of us hold dear.

I’d like to share with you such a scenario, which has unfolded since my column last week detailing my recent encounter with drinking and driving laws.

In writing and publishing the piece, I was anticipating some harsh (and deserved) criticism.

The response was overwhelmingly the opposite. A sampling of the emails I received: Your column this past week was greatly appreciated and well received. It has caused many of us to reflect on our own behaviour and smarten up.

could be the start of some change.

Well done. Mistakes happen, it is what we do after that matters ... you clearly already know this.

I hope that many others will take your words seriously and look “at the moment” before making a decision that may make an impact in changing their lives.

Many, many people in our society have not lost the compassion and capacity to offer support.

... you will probably never know the positive impact that it will have on other dads who may be in the same boat! There was a time in my own life when something similar could have happened.

I wanted to commend you for the courage that it took to write your column this week.

I hope a lot of people read it and learn from your mistake.

Thank you for ... accepting responsibility. You may have started people thinking and that

I honour your courage and integrity to tell your truth in such a public way.

I’m sorry to hear what seemed like a good idea at the time turned into a life lesson but am sure your daughter hasn’t lost her admiration for her dad.

I bet she respects you for owning up and, like all of us, has a reminder of how lucky you were that no one was physically hurt.

Just wanted to say that it was a very brave and admirable thing that you did. We all make mistakes… what we do after demonstrates our character.

I am extremely humbled.

I am uplifted and inspired.

Within those comments, and there were many more, lies another important lesson for others who may be facing a situation in which there is a decision to step up, or stay in the safety of shadows.

As much as it may be frightening to tell the truth, or to do what is right, please seize the opportunity.

Have faith that many, many people in our society have not lost the compassion and capacity to reach out and offer support.

Take strength in the fact that the basic social tenets of honesty and accountability have not deteriorated in these days of social media and a maelstrom of mixed messaging.

There may be judgment, yes, but this experience has convinced me that the principle of restorative justice remains alive and strong.

To those who took the time to communicate, my sincere thanks.

And thank you on behalf of everyone who may one day find themselves weighing the value of responsibility.

As the expression goes, it’s priceless.

Building permits valued at Hair 'N' Care Beauty Studio $49 million in first quarter Best Prices | Professional Service | Satisfaction Guaranteed

Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

Of the 604 housing units currently approved in principle in Abbotsford, 41 per cent are single-family homes, 44 per cent are apartments and 15 per cent are townhouses, according to data released by the city’s planning and development department.

The department presented its first quarterly report to council on Monday, covering January to March, as part of increased reporting on development trends in the city.

There are also 767 housing units under review by the city, of which 29 per cent are single-family homes, 31 per cent are townhouses and 40 are per cent are apartments.

The report states that much of the single-family activity from the quarter was concentrated in west

File photo

Apartments account for 44 per cent of all construction approved in principle in Abbotsford in the first quarter of 2014.

Abbotsford (30 per cent) and Auguston (20 per cent). Sixty per cent of the townhouses are proposed for east Abbotsford and 85 per cent of the apartments are proposed within the central urban area.

It is expected that single-family home development activity for 2014 will “significantly exceed” the five-year average, according to the report, and potentially exceed the 10-year average, given the number of

lots proposed alongside the current applications.

In the first quarter, the value of issued building permits was more than $49 million, with 14 per cent in residential development, 25 per cent in multifamily, 21 per cent in industrial and 15 per cent in commercial.

While the number of commercial building permits decreased by 16 in the first quarter compared to 2013, dropping from 26 per

cent of the total building permit value to 15 per cent, staff say this could be attributed to the completion of the Highstreet shopping complex.

Among the new planning department initiatives, the city has created a Development Application Review Team (DART), which first met in May. The team brings together staff from several city departments to review development applications as a group, instead of reviewing applications separately. This is intended to make it easier for developers and applicants to meet the needs of each department, as well as reduce staff time for each application.

The planning department will present development data each quarter for council review.

Abbotsford’s first craft brewery, Surlie Brewing Company, is calling on the city to alter its bylaw prohibiting alcohol sales on industrial land, to bring it in line with the provincial liquor laws.

A letter from owner Tim Brown to the mayor’s office asked the city to allow the sale of beer at the brewery site on Townline Road, as well as the ability to hold tasting events.

Staff said they will soon bring a report to council recommending minor changes to the zoning law to allow the accessory sale of liquor on industrial land.

Gas price hardship drives more to conserve, according to poll Jeff NAGEL Black Press

A new poll has found high gas prices are causing financial hardship for a majority of B.C. residents, many of whom say they’re driving less and trying alternatives like walking or transit more.

The Insights West online survey, in partnership with Black Press, found two-thirds of respondents across the province have felt financial hardship from the recent rise in gas prices.

Pump prices for regular gas climbed above $1.50 per litre in Metro Vancouver this week, up

more than 20 per cent since early January.

More Interior B.C. residents cited hardship – 74 per cent – even though they don’t pay the extra 17-cent-a-litre gas tax charged by TransLink in Metro Vancouver.

Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said $1.50 per litre appears to be a psychological level where more people seek ways to cut their fuel consumption.

“We’re seeing people saying it might be better to take the bus this afternoon, it might be better to walk or try to bike – essentially not to drive,” he said.

Fifty-five per cent of poll respondents across B.C. said they’re already driving less than usual, while 27 per cent said they’re walking more and 19 per cent said they’re taking public transit more.

While it’s helpful that gas prices tend to spike in spring and summer, when the weather is more conducive to walking or biking than December, Canseco believes that’s coincidence.

“They’re not doing it because it’s lovely outside, they’re doing it because they’re feeling the pain when they gas up.”

The special pass offers two days of free, unlimited transit travel during the month of June. A total of 19,500 GradPASS cards will be given to Grade 12 students in 30 communities.

GradPASS was first in-

troduced in Vancouver in 1988 as part of the Counterattack Program.

The system is easy to use: Students simply scratch off their two chosen travel days and show the card to their bus driver. GradPASS is not transferable and can only be used on participating local systems.

Grants provided to combat spread of invasive plants The Fraser Valley Invasive Plant Council will get $43,700, while the Fraser Valley Regional District will receive $25,000 from the provincial government to combat the spread of invasive plants.

The funding will be invested in raising public awareness of invasive plants, surveying invasive plant populations and actively treating highpriority sites to control their spread.

Invasive plants are species that have been introduced into B.C. from other areas. They displace native vegetation and can cause considerable economic and environmental damage, and some pose a health risk to people.

The Cycling4Diversity (C4D) team recently finished its four-day journey (May 20-23) from Mission to Mission.

The team of a dozen or so C4D team members visited 20 schools in 15 cities, spreading the message of being inclusive throughout the Lower Mainland to thousands of students to celebrate Cycling 4 Diversity Week in B.C. (May 18-24).

The team of riders left Mission on the morning of May 20 from the Mission Friendship Centre, where they were gifted with a bandana and pray ties ceremony for blessings.

Overall, the ride was smooth, but challenging nevertheless in trying to reach the schools in the scheduled times. The team completed an average of five to six schools per day including elementary, middle and secondary.

The message was well received and our team was encouraged and welcomed to return in the future. Some mayors and council members even pedalled with us or met our team at the schools to extend welcoming a letter or proclamation.

In total, the C4D team received 10 proclamations, including one from the Province of British Columbia declaring Cycling4Diversity Week.

During this week, members encouraged students to make a special effort and develop intercultural relations with fellow students and break any conceived barriers that may exist in schools, neighbourhoods or workplaces.

Let’s face it, racism still exists, unfortunately, and cultural isolation is a growing issue in some of our communities.

C4D member and Abbotsford Coun. Bill MacGregor, who spent decades in the school system and retired as a principal, connected with students during each of his presentations. He spoke about author Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. He referred to Habit 5: Seek First to

ty that I gained more from the experience.”

Abbotsford Coun.

Dave Loewen said: “The four-day, 22-school Cycling4Diversity trip was my first, and it didn’t disappoint. The welcome we received wherever we went was genuinely open and warm. I came away from that experience believing that an authentic awareness existed that our message was not only needed, but that adherence to the message was essential for the creation of a more peaceful world.

“It was my impression that the students we spoke to, particularly in the Greater Vancouver area, already have a grasp of this, and that my generation has much to learn from the younger generation. I observed that they are more fortunate than

I was at their age, in that my school was all white, while the cultural diversity that exists today contrasts sharply.

“One school we visited had 70 different languages represented in their student body.

“Needless to say, our message bears repeating many times, and I trust I will have more opportunities to participate in this worthwhile initiative.”

Other members from the local area were: Anne-Marie Sjoden, Norm MacLeod, Bob Soltis, Randy Cairns, Elizabeth Lloyd and Anoop Tatlay. The C4D team is being recognized with a Community Service Award at the District of Mission annual awards event.

Conference celebrates women’s leadership May 31 The 10th annual Woman of Worth (WOW) Conference is celebrating a decade of women’s leadership development on May 31, at Burnaby’s Grand Villa Hotel and Conference Centre.

Abbotsford resident Christine Awram created the WOW event in order to address what she perceived as a need for empowered leadership opportunities tailored to women. She believes females in leadership excel more fully through connection and collaboration, and benefit from an approach that blends personal and professional development.

The event will feature a special presentation

by Oprah guest and best-selling author Dr. Katie Hendricks, who is slated to present her findings on empowered relating.

The event will also feature speakers, including world champion cyclist Leah Goldstein, News1130 anchor Tammy Moyer, awardwinning comedienne Linda Edgecombe, international women’s hormones expert Brenda Eastwood, “Business Sherpa” wealth strategist Colin Sprake, and Awram.

RBC reports that women entrepreneurs are one of the fastest growing segments of the Canadian economy, as self-employed women have grown by 43 per cent. There are more than 821,000 women entrepreneurs, who annually contribute more than $18 billion to the economy.

For information, visit thewowevent.com/ events/vancouver.php or email Christine@ thewowevent.com.

Grapplers climb Pan Am podium

Abbotsford wrestlers Mickey Khehira (left) and Austin Gurm won silver and bronze, respectively, at the Pan Am cadet championships.

Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

Going into the Pan Am Cadet Wrestling Championships in Recife, Brazil earlier this month, Austin Gurm and Mickey Khehira had no idea what to expect.

DAN KINVIG Abbotsford News

It was, after all, the first time either Abbotsford wrestler had represented Canada internationally at a meet of such magnitude.

“It’s nerve-wracking, seeing all these wrestlers from other coun-

tries,” said Gurm, a Grade 10 student at Abby Traditional.

“But once you’re out there, you just wrestle how you normally wrestle. The competition is way higher than it is here, and it was

fun testing what I’ve got against people from other countries.”

As it turned out, both compared favourably to their international foes.

Gurm took bronze in the 76 kg freestyle division, and was one of two Canadian wrestlers selected to compete in the Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China in August.

Khehira, in Grade 11 at W.J. Mouat Secondary, managed to bring home the silver in the 85 kg Greco-Roman event.

A third Abbotsford wrestler, Navdeep Toor of Rick Hansen Secondary, finished fifth in the 46 kg freestyle.

Greco-Roman wrestling, in contrast to freestyle, forbids holds below the waist, and for Khehira, the Pan Am meet was just his second tournament competing in the discipline.

The first was the FILA Canadian cadet trials, which he won.

“It’s harder, it’s different,” he acknowledged with a smile. “I didn’t think I’d do this well, but it worked out.”

Close calls for Bateman, Yale

A Lord Byng player tries to reel in Bateman’s Kolby Steen during provincial AAA boys rugby action on Wednesday.

But both teams fall in AAA rugby quarter-finals

Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

The Robert Bateman Timberwolves and Yale Lions both suffered quarter-final losses at the AAA B.C. high school boys rugby championship at Exhibition Park on Wednesday, and the post-game reactions were a reminder that the sting of defeat can vary greatly based on context.

The No. 4-seeded Timberwolves had their sights set on the Final Four, but fell 21-10 to the No. 5 Lord Byng Grey Ghosts of Vancouver – a bitter pill to swallow for a talented Bateman team coming off the first AAA Fraser Valley title in program history.

“They (Lord Byng) played way better on the day,” analyzed T-Wolves co-coach Dave Chambers, whose team got tries from Jake Thiel and Kolby Steen in the loss. “We made too many mistakes – we missed our tackles and gave them opportunities that they took advantage of. And we didn’t take our opportunities. We had too many dropped balls, little things like that.”

The Lions, likewise, lost by a 26-20 count to the Shawnigan Lake Stags, but they were happier with their performance. The topseeded Stags are the five-time defending B.C. AAA champs and were expected to make short work of No. 9 Yale, but the Lions gave them a fierce battle behind tries from Noah Bain and Jason Hignell and 10 points’ worth of kicks from Surge Francis. A converted try would have given Yale the lead in the late going, and they were knocking on the door in Shawnigan Lake territory when time expired.

“I’m real proud of the guys – this is the best game we’ve played this season,” Lions coach Doug Primrose said.

“Our game plan was to keep things tight, try and keep the score close, and you never know what happens at the end of the game, right? And it almost worked out.”

Bateman and Yale faced off Thursday for the right to play in the fifth-sixth placing game on Saturday (1 p.m.),

but that result was unavailable at press time.

In the AA draw, the Rick Hansen Hurricanes and Abby Senior Panthers both lost in

consolation-side action on Wednesday.

The Hurricanes dropped a 25-14 decision to Glenlyon Norfolk, while Abby

A23

Senior – a late addition to the tourney – fell 55-7 to Sir Charles Tupper.

Steve Marshall, pictured above with the TWU Spartans, has made the Canadian national volleyball team.

Patience pays off for Marshall Abbotsford spiker makes national team

Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

One year ago, after wrapping up a muchdecorated university volleyball career with the Trinity Western Spartans, Steve Marshall faced a pivotal choice.

On one hand, the high-flying 6’2” outside hitter from Abbotsford had the opportunity to play the game he loved for a living – he had offers from pro teams in Europe, albeit lowerlevel squads.

On the other hand was the delayed-

gratification route – spending the year at Volleyball Canada’s national training centre in Gatineau, Que., grinding his way through daily skill development sessions.

He chose the latter, and today, he believes he’s better for it.

The biggest piece of evidence to support that notion is his recent selection to the Canadian senior men’s indoor team’s 22-player roster for FIVB World League pool play games over the next month. It’s Continued on A26

GET READY

Marshall’s first stint with the national A indoor squad, after extensive experience representing Canada internationally in beach volleyball.

The 24-year-old Mennonite Educational Institute grad is also drawing better pro offers from overseas, and hopes to have something finalized within the next month.

“I’m pretty pumped about it,” Marshall told The News this week, reflecting on his

national team selection.

“I’ve progressed quite a bit over the past year. The amount of reps and touches we’re getting constantly at the training centre, it’s way more than you see at the university level, and even the pro level. It’s more just performance once you go over there. They don’t really focus as much on skill development, because they expect you to already have those things in place.

“I put in my time and got

in the structure and the system that the national team has and wants for all their athletes. And I’ve built more skills to help me go play pro – make better teams and more money, basically.”

Marshall represented Canada at the U19 and U21 beach volleyball worlds in years past, and on the FIVB beach tour. He was also a member of Canada’s national indoor B team in 2012, and helped the Spartans to the 2012 CIS championship.

FOR THE

CAMPING SEASON!

Canada’s World League schedule includes games in Calgary May 31 and June 1 vs.

Finland; in Vancouver June 13 and 14 vs. Belgium; and in Edmonton June 20 and 21 vs.

Australia.

Only 14 of the 22 players on the national team make the traveling roster, and while Marshall isn’t on the traveling roster for this weekend’s games vs. Finland, there’s a chance he could make the cut for the future World League dates.

headroom and some room to stretch out either piloting or co-piloting the Micra.

Under hard acceleration, primarily from the 4-speed automatic, the Micra is quite vocal. You can really hear the engine noise intrude the cabin.

It’s not a performance machine like the Nissan GT-R, where you want to hear as much ruckus as you can. However, when cruising at highway speeds – without the lead foot acceleration – my driving partner and I noticed how quiet the cabin is. Wind noise is kept at bay and it’s serene.

Furthermore, it was an incredibly blustery day when we took these pint-sized four-doors out. Needless to say, you could feel the swagger of the car at highway speeds. But in its defense, larger vehicles felt the wrath of Mother Nature’s blow, too.

While very affordable, the Micra isn’t “cheap” in execution. Even the knobs on the roll down windows have a soft touch to them. And there are metallic accents to break up the otherwise bland black interior.

I certainly wasn’t disappointed when captaining the Micra.

Even though that might sound like a backhanded compliment, it’s not. As far as small cars go, it’s functional, funky and has great value. Whether you’re looking for a vehicle that gets you from point A to B – minus all the options – or said vehicle with a few extras, the 2015 Micra might be the car for you.

Summed up, the Micra is affordable transportation with amiable drivability, an easy-on-the eyes interior and overall a bubbly personality.

Choosing a Trailer Hitch All trailer hitches feature a class rating, as well as a weight rating, so be sure the hitch can accommodate the loaded trailer. For instance, Reese Class 2 ($159) hitches have a maximum-rated capacity of 350 pounds tongue weight and 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight. Class IV ($175) recontinued on page 30

MT. LEHMAN RD

Camping season is almost upon us and it will soon be time to take that trailer out for some fun times.

But is it fun for the driver?

Towing a trailer may be one of the most stressful driving situations for many truck owners. For one thing, it is not easy to manoeuvre around corners and change lanes with that extra length behind your truck. Backing up also can be challenging and towing up a steep hill can be tough on your truck. Whether you tow a boat, car, snowmobiles, or motorcycles, custom truck accessories can make towing less nerve-wracking.

Don’t Tow Too Much Weight Pulling too much weight can be very dangerous.

Check your owner’s manual to find your vehicle’s towing capacity, including the maximum gross trailer weight and tongue weight it can handle. Tongue weight is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer coupler.

In most cases, it is about 10 to 15 per cent of gross trailer weight. Tongue weight of up to 300 pounds can be measured on a household scale by resting the trailer coupler on the scale and placing the scale on a box so that the coupler is at its normal towing height. The trailer must be fully loaded and level.

Use the Right Hitch and Other Equipment Just as each vehicle has a maximum towing capacity so too does each trailer hitch, hitch ball, ball mount and safety chain. To tow safely, you need to make sure every component you use is ready to handle the weight of your fully loaded trailer. Remember, your towing capacity is equal to

Rule of thumb is roughly two-thirds (60 to 66 percent) of the gross load weight should be positioned toward the front half of the trailer. Place large or heavy objects on the trailer first. Tie these objects down securely and from several angles to ensure they do not shift. Pack remaining items in a manner that maintains balance of the trailer. Once the trailer is loaded, double-check the positioning and stability of the cargo. Better safe than sorry. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

God gave us a wonderful Mother to love a lifetime through, Our Mother encouraged us in everything we did.

Our Mother was so many people blended into one, a source of inspiration she was happy and full of fun.

Our Mother heard our every word she listened with her heart.

Her mastery of Motherhood was a very special art.

Our Mother shared and always cared she thought of others first and she loved us just like always even when we were at our worst.

Our Mother brought such happiness with the kindness that she gave and created a good example with the life she lived.

We only had one Mother to look up to and to praise, and no one else in all the world could match her loving ways.

HUNTER, Helen (nee MacGregor) March 21, 1919 - May 26, 2014

Just one day before his 86th birthday, Fred passed away peacefully after a short battle with cancer.

He was born in Marientahl, Russia to Henry and Agatha Rempel. He emigrated to Canada in 1947 with his mother and three siblings, Margaret, Herman and Erika. They settled in Yarrow with relatives and then moved to Vancouver.

Fred married Helen Driediger in 1955 and had two daughters, Debbie and Lisa. The family moved to Aldergrove in 1970.

Fred was still manager at Trapp Motors in Burnaby and commuted daily. He decided to open his own autobody shop and started Valley Collision in 1971 and then onto Abbotsford Autobody.

Fred was a Rotarian who definitely believed in “Service before self”. He was the recipient of three Paul Harris Awards, for his generosity of time and involvement. He also loved racquetball which he learned to play while in his 50s. In his 70s

Mrs. Helen Hunter, nee MacGregor, passed away on May 26th, 2014, at the Worthington Pavilion. She was predeceased by her husband Ray, daughter Elaine, and son - in law Trevor. She leaves to mourn her passing, daughters Patricia and Roberta (Eldon); son-in-law Nigel; grandchildren Geoff, Helen (Bob), Kirsty (Pauly), Ailsa (Bill) and Andrew (Christal); great grandchildren Paul, Britain, Hunter & Mason; and family in both Scotland and England. Mom always had a lot of dignity and was very much a lady. She will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. The family would like very much to thank Dr. Pauls and the wonderful staff at the Worthington Pavilion for their compassion and care. It was Mrs. Hunter’s request that there be no funeral service.

he was at one time the VRC’s oldest playing member. Fred is remembered for his generosity, love of people and love of any type of social gathering.

He always felt the next new person he met was a potential friend.Fred is survived by his sister Margaret (Orlando), his daughters Debbie and Lisa (Les) Urness; his treasured grandchildren Todd (Jamie), Abra (Jason), Garratt, Sarah and Lindsay and his newest loves, his great grandchildren Bronwyn and Boden. He was predeceased by his parents, siblings Ernst, Henry, Lydia, Herman and Erika; his wife Helen in 2010 and great nephew Michael.

The family would like to thank everyone who came to see Fred during his stay at Abbotsford Hospital and the Christine Morrison Hospice. He truly loved all of you. We want to thank the staff at Hallmark on the Park; you made Dad’s last 4 years so enjoyable, comfortable and welcoming, as well as all the friends he made there and especially Dena, his cribbage friend. A special thank you to Herman for his friendship, car rides and the writing of Dad’s life story.

A memorial for Fred will be held Monday, June 2, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. at Emmanuel Mennonite Church. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to your favourite charity or Dad’s favourite Youth Unlimited/Abbotsford.

APARTMENT/CONDO MANAGER TRAINING

26 May 1928 - 25 May 2014

Justina (Jessie) Went home to be with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on May 23, 2014 at the age of 81.

Jessie was born in Beaverlodge, AB on August 18, 1932 to parents Aron and Tina Wiebe. Eventually the family moved to Greendale, BC in 1947. During her years in Greendale she met Ben Harder and they were married on August 10, 1956. After two initial years in Prince George, they settled in Abbotsford, BC where Ben continued a long career as an elementary school teacher. At South Abbotsford Church, Jessie was active in the nursery; the Ladies Fellowship Guild; catering; and janitorial service.

Jessie loved children and cared for many preschool children through the years.

She regarded her own family as a gift from God and loved to take care of them. She even made trips to the Philippines and the Czech Republic to visit her children. Ben and Jessie also volunteered at MCC in Akron, Pennsylvania for several months. Jessie was predeceased by her father (1945); her son Cecil (1960); her mother (1984); and three siblings: Helen, Erna and Jack.

Jessie is survived by her loving husband Ben; her children Doug (Lynn) Harder; Donna (Perry) Klassen; and Ryan Harder. She is adored by her grandchildren Karli, Lauren, Quinea, Jennifer, Dante, Josiah and Ciara. She is also survived by three siblings: Martha, John and Ed. The family wishes to thank Dr. Ken Dueck for his devoted care and friendship over the years; along with everyone at Christine Morrison Hospice for their compassionate care during the last few weeks of Jessie’s life. A graveside interment will be held on Tuesday, June 3 at 11am at Greendale Cemetery on 44651 Watson Rd. in Sardis, followed by a Memorial Service and reception at 2pm at South Abbotsford Church on 32424 Huntingdon Rd. in Abbotsford.

ABBOTSFORD’S ACTIVE ADULTS A local monthly guide to events, resources and services for active adults

June 2014

Retire Happy Good research leads to good decisions When Lorna Keith stepped down as president of the Valley Concert Society, it wasn’t because she thought that at 85 years old she could no longer do the work, but rather she wanted to make room for new ideas.

“I had been chair for over 17 years, and I felt that it was time for someone to step in,” said Keith.

“I thought maybe there would be a different approach, or a different point of view, and it’s good to get new ideas when you’re working on something.”

The Valley Concert Society is a nonprofit organization that has brought quality music to the community since 1983, and continues to attract musicians from around the world to perform at the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium.

For nearly two decades, Keith oversaw the concert selection committee,

Lorna Keith spent nearly two decades as president of the Valley Concert Society.

managed costs, and recruited sponsorships for promotion and advertising from as far as Chilliwack, Mission and Langley.

Keith admits that she loved the challenge of getting sponsors to support them.

“We had some tight seasons where we weren’t sure if we would make the bills,” she said, “but we always managed.”

Keith strived to ensure that people had access to quality music in their area, and is proud to see the ongoing success of the Valley Concert Society.

“I think that fine music enhances life, and having concerts available, instead of people feeling like they have to drive to Vancouver, is important,” said Keith.

“Also, it’s important for young people to be exposed to fine music as it’s an intellectual experience for them.”

For Keith, the sound of music continues to bring her joy, as do her other activities. She currently sings in a church choir and community choir, is involved with the Fraser Valley Stage, volunteers at the Reach Galley Museum, and spends her spare time gardening.

“I like to keep busy and try new experiences. You meet so many different people, and that’s part of the fun of it.”

Keith’s leadership within the community, her compassionate nature and commitment to her church, family and profession led to her nomination for the 2006 Myrtle Evertt Woman of the Year Award. In 2012, she was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, presented to Canadian citizens that have provided significant contributions or achievements to their communities.

When asked what age means to her, Keith laughed and said, “Well, I haven’t given my age much thought because I’m too busy enjoying life.”

I don’t want to be a burden… But I need your help (Part 2) What is the definition of a burden? As we explored in part one, the Bible doesn’t refer to people as burdens. Rather, it often refers to heart Sharon Simpson burdens. Jesus’ ministry is filled with instances of sensitivity to heart burdens. He sees beyond the immediate circumstance to the spiritual heaviness of the inner person and provides relief through love, peace, joy and hope.

I am reminded of the time that a group of friends brought their paralyzed friend to see Jesus by lowering him into a crowded room through the roof (Mark 2: 1-12). Do you think the paralyzed friend was “game” for this desperate final idea? He would be in danger of sliding off his gurney as they hauled him up the roof. He would be totally helpless as he watched his friends sweat and work to dig a hole in the roof. He would be entirely useless as they lowered him down into the room. And then, at the end of this plan, he would be dangling in front of Jesus and the crowd – embarrassed at the attention, helpless to move and unable to change his circumstance. His friends were up above him holding the ropes and running the show.

I wonder if, during the course of this day, the paralyzed man cried out from the depths of his soul, “I don’t want to

be a part of this crazy show. I just want this all to end! Get me out of here! People all around me are doing things to me and I can’t make any choices anymore.”

Many seniors can relate to that feeling. Their life circumstances change and they are thrust into a whirlwind that involves nursing care, medical crisis, family decisions and reallocation.

Someone else is holding the ropes.

Someone else is running the show.

But who is helping you? Is it someone who feels that helping you is a terrible inconvenience or is it someone who has a connection with you that is energizing them to take action on your behalf?

Did the friends of the disabled man feel he was a burden as they lowered his gurney through the roof? Did they feel burdened as they watched with hopeful eyes as Jesus spoke to their friend? I’m sure their arms ached after carrying him for miles and lowering him carefully. But their hearts were linked to him in a bond that energized them to do what was required.

Is it possible that the first step in not being a “burden” is recognizing that as we move through our elder years, there will be people whose hearts are linked to ours in a loving bond that energizes them to take action on our behalf?

Is it possible that the second step in not being a “burden” is allowing the people who love you to do things for

you that are, at times, uncomfortable and even frightening?

The paralyzed man had an encounter with Jesus that day and that encounter changed his life. First of all, Jesus cared for his heart burden. He saw the faith of the caregivers and he granted the disabled man forgiveness for his sins. Both the disabled man and his care-giving friends were included in

We bring our hear t to your home

Jesus’ reaction. Sometimes those on whom we depend for our daily needs are the conduit for Jesus’ grace in our own lives.

This story of the disabled man is not primarily about being a burden or not being a burden. It’s a story of Jesus’ authority – both to forgive sins and to defy natural outcomes – after all, in the end he healed the disabled man.

And yet, it’s a good place to use our imagination and speculate about how these men loved their disabled friend, about how difficult it is to be physically dependent and how normal it is to desperately want to be healed. It’s a good place to imagine Jesus’ heart of love and care, even in this difficult circumstance. This story is one of hopeful co-operation between a disabled man, his care-giving friends and the God of all creation.

So, we open our hearts and lives to embrace the idea that there are heartbonds that energize others to caring, necessary action on our behalf. We recognize that Jesus is eager to encounter us even when we are physically unable to care for ourselves. We discover that Jesus understands that those who care for us can be a conduit of faith on our behalf.

In part three of this series, we will look at practical ways that you can prepare for your elder years in order to reduce the burden of paperwork, decisions and care required by those who love you enough to take action.

Continued next edition of Living 55+ on June 27th.

Abbotsford News Friday, May 30, 2014

Relaxation techniques to calm your nerves Since 2007, the American Psychological Association has commissioned an annual nationwide survey to examine the state of stress across the United States and understand its impact. The 2013 survey found that people continue to experience what they feel are unhealthy stress levels, with 42 per cent of adult respondents reporting that their stress levels have increased over the past five years. In addition, 44 per cent of survey respondents feel they aren’t doing enough to manage their stress, painting a potentially troubling future for people who cannot find better and healthier ways to manage their stress.

The picture is none the rosier in Canada, where data from the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey revealed that nearly 23 per cent of Canadians aged 15 and older reported that most days were “quite a bit or extremely stressful.” While those figures marked a slight improvement from the previous year’s survey, it’s apparent that stress is still a considerable concern for people throughout both the United States and Canada.

Though many people unfortunately regard stress as an inevitable side effect of adulthood, it’s important that men, women and even children avoid characterizing

stress as simply a byproduct of a difficult and/or successful life and career. Even momentary stress, often referred to as “acute stress,” like the kind that appears when stuck in a traffic jam, can have a potentially devastating impact on overall health.

According to the American Institute of Stress, acute stress causes an increase in heart rate and stronger contractions of the heart muscle, and some medical professionals have suggested there is a link between repeated episodes of acute stress and

Tennis elbow…but I don’t even play tennis How can you be diagnosed with tennis or golfer’s elbow when you don’t even play either sport? The Dr. Chris Vallee real diagnosis is called lateral epicondylitis, which is simply inflammation of the tendons of the extensor muscles in the forearm (also known as tendonitis). When the extensor muscles become tight they create more tension on the tendons, which causes inflammation and results in pain. Sports like golf or tennis involve continuous gripping of the club or racket. After some time the muscles become tired and weak and there is more stress on the muscles to keep working. Due to the repetitive nature of these sports it puts even more strain on these muscles and is therefore a very common problem.

There are various treatments for tennis elbow depending on who you see for treatment.

Anti-inflammatory medication is commonly used, however this will only

help the symptoms of tendonitis short term and won’t actually treat the problem.

The muscles are tight and strained and

need to be appropriately treated to fix the actual problem. Massage and acupuncture are two great ways to help relax the

muscles so that the natural healing can begin in the body. When the muscles relax, there is less tension on the tendons and the inflammation lessens resulting in a decrease in pain. From there the body’s natural healing system takes over and you feel better because the body is healing.

You can get lateral epicondylitis from any job or activity that requires a repetitious motion such as painting, computer work, playing the piano and many other activities that use your forearm muscles. Even something that seems very simple, like four hours of gardening, can result in several weeks of pain if you are not used to it.

It is very important to fix the root of the problem and, by doing so, you will be able to go back to playing tennis or finish painting that fence before the summer is up.

Good health to you and if you have any questions please feel free to email me at: drvallee@telus.net

Homes for aged have come a long way, baby For the first time, by 2017, Canada will be home to more people older than 65 than children under 15.

The demographic shift has already been a marked by an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases, resulting in the larger number of longterm care residents with multiple complex diagnoses.

At the same time, the rising tide of dementia is impairing the ability of many Canadians to live independently. The baby boom cohort exhibits stronger preferences for independent living arrangements, greater autonomy, and choice in services than previous generations.

These forces create an urgency for innovation in how seniors age.

The good news is the paradigm shift has begun, as the culture within senior care living communities fundamentally changes. Residential-care facilities are no longer the nursing homes of yesteryear, as innovations in the care of the elderly have ushered in a new era in which choice, purpose and service are paramount.

Families are more involved as partners in the delivery of programs and services to loved ones. An example is family councils, which support families dealing with the loss experienced when a loved one lives in a residential care facility.

Through this council, a complaint process exists to resolve issues on an individual basis, and to identify concerns that have an impact on more than one family and resident. The council is also a place for staff recognition programs, established to compliment employees who go the extra mile.

Family councils organize

education sessions for families on the issues they face. Families offer caregiver support to each other – the elephant in the room – as there is a perceived gap in subsidized support for informal caregivers. In addition, at Tabor Village in Abbotsford, the family council led two consecutive annual

fundraising dinners, to improve programs and services transforming an institutional style multi-purpose room into a living room, and changing a basic outdoor space into a

therapeutic garden.

Seniors in long-term care facilities are increasingly involved in choice, and have progressively more responsibility. Residents have rights and responsibilities to articulate their privileges and obligations. Seniors living in care facilities have lost much of their independence, and basic quality of life indicators often focus on food. Seniors are now involved in the dining experience choosing menu items, recommending recipes, and deciding on the way the dining rooms are decorated.

Through the resident council, seniors directly determine how programs and services are enhanced to better meet their needs.

funding formula has increased direct care hours and enabled a more diverse care team, in addition to nurses and care aides, who shoulder most of the heavy care. Seniors benefit from recreation staff, music therapists, social workers, chaplains, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and mobility aides. The hope is a more diverse staff mix will lead to better health and better health outcomes.

As seniors are increasingly tech savvy, the expectation that long-term care facilities will offer high-speed Internet access is the new norm. Smart phone apps have been designed to enable seniors to measure their vital signs and extend their independence.

The aging population will benefit from new practices, knowledge and products that have an impact on care delivery, quality of life and wellness, transforming the journey of aging.

New technology has been integrated through collaborative approaches to enhance the lives of seniors. Pharmacy services, electronic health records, point of care assessment touch screen tablets and global

■ Choose a nursing home that’s close to home. One of the more difficult parts of transitioning to a nursing home is the notion that men and women are leaving their lives behind once they move into a home. Choosing a nursing home that’s close to home and makes routine visits from friends and relatives possible enables men and women to maintain a connection to their current lifestyle. A home that is miles away from a person’s support system can foster feelings of isolation and loneliness.

■ Plan trips with your loved one. Just because an aging relative lives in a nursing home does not mean he or she can no longer travel. If a relative is healthy enough to travel, include them on family trips and outings. This includes more routine events like weekly Sunday dinners, kids’ sporting events and other extracurricular activities.

Many older men and women find the transition to a nursing home somewhat difficult. Men and women tend to see a move to a nursing home as a step toward surrendering their independence, and this can be a difficult hurdle for seniors and their loved ones to overcome.

Adding to the difficulty is the fact that many men and women move into nursing homes because their physical or mental status requires the help of a professional nursing staff, leaving family members with little to no recourse when aging relatives protest the move. But there are ways to ease a loved one’s transition into a nursing home.

■ Keep a positive attitude. The stress of moving an aging relative into a nursing home can be significant for all parties involved. But focusing on the positives of nursing homes, such as around-the-clock care and daily activities, can help aging relatives look at nursing homes in a new light. In addition, family members who familiarize themselves with nursing homes will begin to see they are often great places for aging men and women to socialize with others their age while receiving the care and attention they need. When discussing the move to a nursing home, focus on these positives and your relative will be more likely to follow your lead.

The more involved your aging relative are in the daily life of your family, the more likely they are to see the advantages of living in a nursing home.

■ Encourage your loved ones to take some personal items with them. When moving into a nursing home, men and women must leave behind many of their possessions. This is a simple space issue, as the rooms in a typical nursing home cannot accommodate a life’s worth of keepsakes and possessions. But that doesn’t mean men and women have to leave everything behind.

Encourage your loved one to bring along some possessions, such as his or her family photos, a favourite chair or smaller mementos from places he or she visited throughout his or her life. Such items can make a nursing home seem less antiseptic and more like a home.

■ Set up an e-mail account for your loved one. This allows your loved one to maintain daily contact with family and friends. Many of today’s nursing homes provide facilities where residents can access the Internet. If not, speak to the staff and ask if your relative can bring his or her own computer.

If your relative will be able to routinely access the Internet, consider purchasing a digital subscription to the local newspaper so he or she can further maintain a connection to the community.

THE TERRY FOX RUN FOR CANCER RESEARCH

Travel ideas for active seniors Those who have said goodbye to the work-a-day grind now have many hours to settle down and relax. People who have continually put off vacations in lieu of work responsibilities may now have all the time they need to explore the world.

Traveling for seniors can be rewarding and relaxing. Those with a substantial retirement nest egg have numerous destinations at their disposal. Mature vacationers travel more frequently and stay longer than any other age group. Travel ranks among the top leisure activities for men and women over 50, according to the website Suddenly Senior.

Seniors can find several travel advantages at their disposal. Also, thanks to special senior discounts, travel may be even more affordable than first expected.

While certain destinations are not always practical for certain age brackets, there are many places to which seniors can visit comfortably and enjoy a wealth of memories.

■ BEACH RESORTS: Provided flying is medically safe, a

beachside vacation can be the ideal trip for seniors looking for the utmost in relaxation. For those who have passports, the possibilities are endless. Those who prefer to remain on relatively domestic soil can retreat to Puerto Rico, south Florida, the California coast, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

■ CRUISING: Cruising is a preferred vacation choice for the 50-plus set because it offers the convenience of an all-inclusive package and transportation all in one. With the myriad activities offered on board, cruises are a versatile vacation option for seniors. Also, there is no need to worry about traveling far for meals and other entertainment options, as everything is selfcontained on the cruise ship. For more active seniors who enjoy the daily getaway, excursions in ports of call can provide the variety desired.

■ GUIDED TOURS: Seniors who want to experience a piece of history can sign up for tour packages backed by reputable companies. The tours may involve

train or bus travel, and various attractions will be visited. At the end of the tour, individuals can choose to extend the vacation by checking into a hotel nearby.

■ RV TRIPS: Another selfcontained vacation that is entirely up to the people traveling is vacationing by recreational vehicle. Seniors can customize their routes depending on which areas they want to see. Companies like Cruise America RV enable people to rent an RV so they needn’t worry about the expense of buying one outright. However, should RV traveling become addictive, there always is the option of buying a camper later on. Setting an itinerary and then establishing the pace enables travelers to tour the country or cross the border as desired. From

beaches to national parks, many areas offer RV hook-up areas and amenities.

■ EXOTIC TOUR: Seniors who were never able to afford or spare the time for an extensive vacation may now want to visit those exotic locations that have beckoned for years. Now could be the time to book a ticket for Europe and visit all of the cities that have made the history books.

Those looking for even more adventure can travel to the South Pacific and explore tropical islands. Others may want to go “down under” and experience the rugged Outback or the culture of Australian city centres.

With a bevy of free time and fewer restrictions holding them back, seniors could be ready for the next great travel adventure.
