Overuse of emergency rooms targeted
$180,000 FOR STUDY A7 City of Abbotsford
Minister releases hospital review, cites patient care shortfalls
will commit funds for Fraser River erosion study
DELAYS EXPECTED
Jeff NAGEL and Alex BUTLER Black Press
A seven-month review of Fraser Health has resulted in a new strategy that focuses on cutting unnecessary use of hospital emergency rooms in favour of improved primary and community care. Hospitals and emergency rooms around the region are experiencing overcrowding – including the state-of-the-art 300-bed Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre (ARHCC), which was completed in 2008 and is three times the size of the former MSA Hospital that it replaced. On Wednesday, Health Minister Terry Lake said too many patients in the region aren’t getting the appropriate type of care and are suffering worse outcomes, compared to other peer hospitals in Canada. “When you provide that care in the community, you take the pressure off the acute care setting,” Lake said. “That helps look after your budget problem as well.” Average lengths of hospital stays are longer in Fraser Health, Lake said, increasing risks of picking up infections in hospital or developing problems like bed sores. Fraser has been trying for years to clear its congested ERs with a shift to preventative or home health care. Although Lake did not criticize past efforts, he said the time was right for a strategic “data-driven” re-examination of the issues for the region, whose staff had been too bogged down in “putting out fires.” The region will get a modest infusion of extra money – $40 million in 2014/15 and $20 million in 2015/16 – to assist with opening up community care beds during the transition.

Three recent summer-party stories are serving as reminders for young people to plan ahead and use common sense, says the Abbotsford Police Department. One incident began on Canada Day, when a group of teens got together at a friend’s house, with the intention of attending fireworks celebrations that evening. Const. Ian MacDonald said the group did not make it to the fireworks because they began drinking, as well as consuming marijuana and the drug ecstasy. He said some of the party-goers had also raided their parents’ medicine cabinets, and prescription drugs, such as the painkiller Percocet, were used.

away and called 911, saying she was concerned about the well-being of her friend. However, the woman lost track of where the residence was located. MacDonald said police tried to call the friend on her cellphone, tracked her GPS coordinates, and conducted an area search. Officers eventually found the home and located the other woman, who MacDonald said was “extremely intoxicated” and also didn’t know how she got to the residence. Police are continuing to investigate the incident to determine whether any criminal action might have occurred. MacDonald said police are releasing details about these situations as a reminder to young people to think ahead and make better choices about how they spend their time.
According to the review, ARHCC had a hospital occupancy rate of 112.9 per cent at the end of the 2012/13 fiscal year. Mission Memorial had an occupancy rate of 136.7 per cent in the same period. The review also broke down emergency department use by levels of the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS), which measures the severity of the health issue and the need for care from one to five. It states that CTAS levels four and five – the lowest levels – could generally receive care in a primary or community care setting. At Abbotsford Regional, 31.4 per cent of incidents were rated level four, and six per cent were level five. The review adds that a portion of level three, which accounted for 45.3 per cent of patients at Abbotsford Regional, could be treated outside of the emergency department. Only 0.5 per cent were level one (meaning they must see a doctor immediately) and 16.7 per cent were level two. Most patients at Abbotsford, Burnaby, Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals could get their care through community clinics or family doctors, the report suggests. Lake said the findings confirmed Fraser’s budget of $3.1 billion has been appropriate in recent years, in light of its population of 1.7 million, rapid growth rate and demographics.

A review found Fraser Health’s budget has been appropriate in recent years. “It’s not a matter of dollars,” he said. The funding of the health authority has been criticized in the past by Abbotsford politicians, after a 2013 report from the B.C. auditor-general showed the Fraser Health region was receiving the lowest per capita funding – only slightly more than half of the per capita funds Vancouver Coastal Health Authority received. Abbotsford Coun. John Smith, who was
ABBOTSFORD INTERNATIONAL A
outspoken on the issue of potential underfunding, said the review is a good step forward for the authority. “I am very pleased that Fraser Health is getting the attention it deserves from the ministry.” He added that in working with Fraser Health representatives on the city’s homelessness task force, he has seen tangible efforts to assist in mental health and addictions services. “This is an issue that directly impacts the City of Abbotsford.” Funding for Fraser is slated to climb 4.3 per cent in 2014, 1.4 per cent in 2015 and 1.2 per cent in 2016 to more than $3.3 billion. The review was ordered by Lake last November, largely in response to the health authority’s inability to avoid successive budget overruns. Topping the list of action plans is the goal of reducing hospital readmission rates and lengths of stay to save money and reinvest savings in community and long-term care. Other top priorities are continuing work to cut hospital-acquired infections and increasing immunization rates for measles, mumps and rubella. The full strategic and operational plan, along with summaries of the review team findings, can be found at http://fraserhealth.ca/about_us/strategic_plan.

Courts can’t solve homelessness problems Andrew
Holota
On Point Do homeless people have the right to camp in public parks? Is it really necessary to ask that question? In a court of law? Apparently so. Or at least the Pivot Legal Society does, on behalf of the BC/Yukon Association of Drug War Survivors (DWS). The City of Abbotsford must be wishing upon wishes that the infamous manuredumping incident never occurred last summer, because when the Gladys Avenue camp was thusly targeted by civic crews, the homelessness issue in this town got hijacked by special-interest groups. That’s not to say it wasn’t a serious problem, which was not being dealt with particularly effectively. That could be said of many communities, of course. However, when the DWS surfaced, and eventually staged a protest camp in Jubilee Park last fall, the issue
began an inexorable march to the courts. The city applied for an injunction to evict the homeless out of the public space. The DWS and Pivot responded by launching a lawsuit, claiming the city’s bylaws against camping in parks is unconstitutional. It’s ridiculous, of course, but the city has no choice but to do the litigation limbo, with its laywers arguing last week that the case should not proceed to trial. It shouldn’t, but I suspect it will, despite being a waste of public money. There are many things wrong with this whole scenario, not the least of which is that the courts are not the place to debate, let alone solve, the issue of homelessness. Drug and alcohol addiction, and mental health problems cannot be legislated away. Ordering cities to allow the homeless to camp in public parks isn’t a solution. But it will put pressure on the public – and in turn the government – to provide more shelter and services for the homeless, their advocates would say.
And that’s precisely why Abbotsford is plodding through this legal exercise. Whether the homeless sleep in a park or a ditch, the factors that put them there remain. That’s the real matter of “life and death” for some of them, as DWS calls it, not where they sleep. The only difference is that the taxpayers who fund the parks won’t be able to use them, because they’ll be turned into trash heaps and outdoor latrines. Of course, ordinary taxpayers wouldn’t be allowed to set up camp wherever they pleased, either. That’s why this case should not go to trial, not because there is no individual plaintiff or specific breach of charter rights. Yet the city’s lawyers must argue on points of law, not a legal layman’s sense of what’s fair and proper. We’ll see what the honorable judge has to say on the matter, but in the meantime, the situation in downtown Abbotsford remains in stasis.
Whether the homeless sleep in a park or a ditch, the factors that put them there remain.
In most any other communities, the teepee town at the end of Gladys would have been removed long ago. It’s an appalling eyesore, as is the small village encamped opposite the Sally Ann further east. However, with any move it makes immediately seized by DWS and Pivot for possible advantage in court, the city is paralyzed to take action. As well, I’m told that successful efforts by local social workers to relocate some of the homeless into proper accommodation are being countered, with street people from out of town being encouraged, if not actually assisted, to relocate here. We have no evidence of that, and can’t point a finger, but it’s clear to see the lawsuit would lose its punch if the problem went away before it gets to court. And not to forget there’s a complaint before the human rights tribunal on this issue as well. It could take years before these matters make their way through the legal mazes. By the time that occurs, perhaps it will all be moot, due to a new, low-barrier homeless shelter with support services that’s been created in this city. There’s a good thought.

Show respect to earn respect This morning I  read your article on the homeless issues in Abbotsford. I live about two blocks from Jubilee Park and realize that they, or should I say we, have some real  valid concerns. I have always supported the homeless by donations and by feeding people who I see need a meal or help. But here is my concern. With the last move out of Jubilee Park, I was aghast at what an utter mess was left after their evacuation. The garbage and waste that was left for the city to clean up was, to say the least, disgusting, and of course, at the expense to taxpayers. I would like to know why, if they want our support and respect, they cannot respect us and the city we live in and clean up after themselves,
thus showing us they can manage their camps. How can we support anything or anyone who could leave such a disgusting mess behind for others to clean up? I have quit donations to the homeless, and will no longer leave blankets or food, etc. to encourage them on. But I will help other needy causes. Show us all respect and that is what you will receive back. We all live in this city – let’s work on this together. Mistakes have been made, bad choices have been clearly happened, but let’s move on to find a solution that works for us all.
Cut out & save for when you need me!

What was the point of getting stopped? Let’s be clear from the beginning. I do not drink and drive. Neither does my wife. It is simply too dangerous to public safety and fraught with penalties for doing so. Common sense says leave the alcohol at home. On my way home from our usual Sunday afternoon drive in the country, I decided to stop at one of our city’s many liquor stores open on Sunday to make a purchase. To the observing APD officer, a pair of old white-haired pensioners come out of the liquor store with their purchase for home. The husband puts their liquor purchase in the trunk of their car and proceeds to open the passenger
door for his wife to get in. I wasn’t 10 feet out of the parking lot, and I had picked up a motorcycle officer tailing me. It was a very casual sort of pursuit – up a hill, through two intersections, two stop signs, two turns, right and left – and still the game of pursuit tag goes on. And nothing was done wrong.  Lights and siren let us know we are being pulled over. What did we do? Does a police office ever consider how terrifying it is to have an armed individual – even if it is a police officer – thinking you are doing something wrong and following you? For this old couple it was an unnerving
stress test. I am asked a variety of questions seemingly as a part of the APD’s community relations program that ran like this: Do you have any open liquor in the car? No! Have you been drinking today? No! If I administer a road side breathalyzer will you pass? Yes! Will you test zero? Yes! May I see you driver’s license? I see it expires in July. Thank you for your cooperation. It turns out we hadn’t done anything wrong but had still aroused a police officer’s suspicion. Or was it just random selection?   I had a rattled drive the rest of the way home, wondering what
we had done to receive such special attention from our local police department. My wife felt it was distasteful and unwarranted. I felt I was targeted. Was it my sunglasses? My clothing? Was I too happy? What made me different from all the other patrons coming and going? Was it just a case of wrong time, wrong place? Worse, I’m now worried about what data base I’m in now for being pulled over? It does make you wonder.  What was the lesson in all of this? So much for public relations. Myron Neville Abbotsford

An Abbotsford man has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for his role in a home-invasion grow rip that took place in June 2009. Shawn Charles Brien, 32, pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count of break and enter. Brien was sentenced on June 13 by Justice Brian Joyce in B.C. Supreme Court in Chilliwack, but the decision was not posted online until this week. He was given 340 days credit for the time he served in prison since his arrest until he was granted bail. Joyce said Brien pleaded guilty not because he actually entered the home and committed the robbery, but because he was a party to the offence. Joyce said Brien was “instrumental in formulating the decision to commit the offence and recruiting the two men who actually committed it.” He also drove the vehicle they used to get to the scene, Joyce said. The offence took place on the evening of June 14, 2009, when Brien and co-accused Robert Dahlgren and Jerome Bishop drove to an Abbotsford home. Brien parked the vehicle around the corner from the home and waited as Dahlgren and Bishop broke into the residence. Bishop was carrying a sawed-off shotgun and Dahlgren had a can of bear spray. The pair pushed the victim to the floor, pulled his shirt over his head, briefly put the gun to the back of his head, and tied his hands with zap straps. Dahlgren then went into a bedroom where the man’s 12-year-old son was sleeping, woke the boy, led him to the living room, placed him on the floor, and tied his hands behind his back with zap straps. Dahlgren and Bishop robbed the man of marijuana plants from his grow operation, as well as up to $1,800 in cash and his truck. Dahlgren and Bishop both previously pleaded guilty in the case and were sentenced to two years and four years respectively. In his ruling, Joyce said he believes that Brien is “truly remorseful for his actions in committing this crime and the pain it caused his victims.” Joyce said Brien has since turned away from drug abuse and crime, and has adopted “a positive, productive life where he is now respected by family and friends.”

Pedestrians and cars begin to cross the tracks on Essendene Avenue after waiting for one of the first empty BNSF coal trains to cross through Abbotsford. The trains are being re-rerouted through Abbotsford for the summer due to construction in Washington.
Trains rolling in downtown Traffic on Essendene Avenue in downtown Abbotsford was stopped for about eight minutes Monday, as an empty coal train – the first of many that will pass through Abbotsford this summer – rolled through. Due to construction in Washington, two or three trains per day, each more than two kilometres long, are making their way through Langley and Abbotsford on the lightly used Southern Railway of B.C. tracks. Representatives of both Southern Railway (SRY), which owns the former interurban tracks through eastern Langley and Abbotsford, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) confirmed talks between the two companies several weeks ago. A test run took place on Thursday, and full operations began Monday. An empty BNSF coal train entered the west end of the SRY line at about 10 a.m. Monday, and was in the United States before noon. “The plan in place will be for BNSF to reroute empty coal traffic from Roberts Bank through Abbotsford down to Sumas,” BNSF spokesperson Gus Melonas said. He said the detour plan is expected to last for 65 days. “Safety is the number one priority,” he said. BNSF is upgrading tracks and replacing two bridges between the border and Burlington, Wash. The trains normally run south from Roberts Bank, through White Rock, and enter the United States at the Peace Arch border crossing. The trains are limited to a maximum of 24 km/h through downtown Abbotsford, and double that in rural areas, according to J. Singh Biln, SRY’s director of community relations. In an earlier interview, he said the trains should be able to clear Abbotsford’s railroad crossings within the federally mandated five-minute time limit. Currently, SRY runs one daily train on a return trip through downtown Abbotsford. BNSF has been hauling an increasing volume of coal from U.S. mines to Roberts Bank.

Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger’s former home in Abbotsford is for sale for $9 million. Cribs reality series. It boasts a barn, an indoor hockey rink, indoor and outdoor pools and a separate guest house.
There is also covered parking for 10 cars, but if you need more than that, the listing suggests converting the rink to
a 5,000-square-foot garage. Taxes on the property were $23,830 in 2013. Kroeger sold the home last year. Realtor Paul Quinn said the new owner invested another $1 million into the house before putting it on the market again. Kroeger built the home with his former common-law wife. He married pop star Avril Lavigne last year and media reports suggest they now live in Ontario.

Taking the leap for 75 years Grandma joined by close friend Five years ago, Lillian Visnoski of Abbotsford celebrated seven decades of life by going skydiving for the first time. The event fulfilled a promise she had made to her son Rick Visnoski 20 years ago that she’d do the activity with him for her 70th birthday. Lillian, whose birthday is June 10, completed the tandem jump on June 29 at the Abbotsford Skydiving Centre on Gladwin Road, joined by Rick and her grandson Colton, then 17. Lillian repeated the thrill this year for her 75th birthday in June, this time bringing along her good friend, Laida Arcilla. Arcilla lost her daughter in a tragic car accident seven

Well folks, I originally started selling farms and ranches many years ago, in 1979, and was lucky to be joined by my son for the last 14 years. We do all kinds of farms! We know them and it is our love to see agriculture continue, wether it is in the valley or the 100 Mile House Area. Having lived on a farm our whole life with a strong University background in agriculture we get the job done. We offer the best of advertising, pictorial promotions, websites, and overseas promotions. We try to keep in touch with the latest municipal, provincial, and federal changes, which will encourage the new farmer starting out.

It’s hard to believe, but we’ve just finished the first 1/3 of the year and like most years our Spring Real Estate market is in full swing. After a few slower than average years the market is starting to improve again. Listings are down overall, with sales of single family homes up year over year with strata properties still working to recover. While it has improved overall, each property is still unique and has to be looked at on its own merits. If you’d like a realistic, no obligation evaluation of your home to sell or would like a representative to expertly represent you in a purchase, draw upon my 23 years of professional, friendly and satisfying service.

Strip-search decision upheld by appeals court Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
The B.C. Court of Appeal has upheld earlier decisions that dismissed a complaint against an Abbotsford police officer. Retired judge William
Diebolt, in a disciplinary decision under the Police Act, initially cleared Const. Karen Burridge of any wrongdoing during a strip search in August 2009. The complainant had alleged that the strip search was conducted
illegally and without her consent. In that incident, Burridge and another officer were transporting a prisoner, who told them he recognized a female drug dealer driving a vehicle in the area.

The officers pulled over the woman’s car, and were joined by a third officer in a separate cruiser. All three officers noticed the smell of burning marijuana coming from the woman’s car as they approached it. Her vehicle was searched, and no drugs were found. The women, who had a criminal record for drug trafficking, was then told she was required to be strip-searched. Because she had a temporary permit on her car that was two hours away from expiring, she was given the choice of being searched at the police station or in a nearby gas station washroom to save time. She opted for the immediate search, conducted by Burridge, and no drugs were found. She was released without charges but filed a complaint with the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) 18 months later. The investigating officer concluded that Burridge had “acted in good faith” and her actions did not constitute misconduct. APD Chief Bob Rich agreed, but the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner (OPCC) felt the matter should be reviewed, and Diebolt was appointed. He concluded that the strip search was warranted, but police complaint commissioner Stan Lowe said Diebolt erred in “applying the common law” and the “doctrine of good faith” in making his decision. Lowe then sought judicial review, and the judge in that case agreed with Diebolt’s ruling. Lowe then appealed that decision. The three-judge B.C. Court of Appeal panel upheld the earlier decisions and also said that Lowe was “guilty of unreasonable delay in proceeding with judicial review.”

While in Namibia, Abbotsford Police Deputy Chief Rick Lucy visited NBC for the Good Morning Namibia program.
Deputy chief visits Namibia
Vikki HOPES
Abbotsford News
Abbotsford Police Deputy Chief Rick Lucy recently returned from a three-week trip to Windhoek, Namibia as part of a unique partnership that began in 2008 with the police department there. On his latest trip, Lucy took part in some training sessions and met with the department’s management team, as well as with the mayor and council. The Windhoek City Police (WCP) was formed eight years ago. Until then, Namibia had been protected only by a national force – similar to the RCMP – and there were no city police departments. After the WCP formed, it wanted to connect with a similarly sized police force in Canada – a major supporter of Namibia when it gained independence from South Africa in 1990 – to learn how to improve its operations. The first meeting between the two departments was in April 2008, when a group from Abbotsford travelled to Namibia to offer guidance and advice. WCP representatives visited Abbotsford for the first time in June 2008, and the exchange trips have continued ever since. Lucy, speaking at a recent meeting of the Abbotsford Police Board, said the partnership has been beneficial. “We’re told that the difference that has
happened with the city police (in Windhoek) is immense,” he said. “They do so much with so little, including finances, but they are committed as much as we are to making their community safer.” Lucy said representatives from Windhoek are expected to visit Abbotsford again, perhaps as soon as this fall.

David, Ken and Stephanie all have early-stage dementia. Once a month they meet at their local Alzheimer Society of B.C. support group to talk about how their lives are affected by the disease. “This is their lifeline,” said Jude Weir, the society’s support and education co-ordinator for Abbotsford and Mission. “The group is a place where they can talk openly, share information and give mutual support to others on the same journey.” An estimated one in 11 B.C. residents over age 65 already lives with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. That number is projected to double within a generation (25 years). The resulting need for assistance is soaring. Volunteers are needed to facilitate the society’s early stage support group as well as a caregiver support group in Abbotsford and Chilliwack. These positions require excellent listening and empathetic skills and knowledge of dementia and facilitation or a willingness to learn. Formal or informal caregiving experience would be an asset. For the early-stage group, the society looks for volunteers who have an understanding of the experiences of people with early-stage dementia, plus sensitivity to the changes in memory, mood and communication. Training is provided for both positions and a oneyear commitment is required. For more information and to volunteer, contact Weir at 604-859-3889 or jweir@alzheimerbc.org.

It’s already been an extremely busy summer for Victoria Duffield, and that trend is likely to continue into the fall. The 19-year-old Abbotsford singer recently completed a 12-city tour with the Backstreet Boys, as an opening act. “It was incredible. It was very surreal at the beginning because I was a big fan of them as a kid,” said Duffield, who noted she is still impressed with the iconic band that stormed to success in the mid-1990s. She was able to meet each of the five members during the crossCanada tour. In fact, member Brian Littrell made a surprise trip on stage at one concert while Duffield was performing. There were a trio of stops that stood out for the local resident. “The energy of the crowd” in Lethbridge and Dawson Creek were momentous, while the May 20 Vancouver stop was a definite favourite because friends and family were in attendance. The tour gave Duffield the opportunity to refine her ability to connect with the audience. “When I’m on stage, I don’t have to think about the lyrics or the dance moves,” she said, adding that she works to be “in the moment,” and to look at some of the audience members and sing directly to them. While still riding high from that tour’s energy, Duffield released her newest album, Accelerate, on June 4. A single from that album will be released later this summer, and she will soon be heading to Toronto to shoot the video. Duffield admits that it’s “always nerveracking” releasing new music, and she hopes the music will create some new listeners while still bringing her current fans along. She spent the bet-

Much like her debut album, she was instrumental in the writing process for Accelerate, but said this time she was able to make it more personal. “I was 16 when I
started working on my last album. Most of my inspiration and stories came from my friends.” This time, Duffield recorded a more “intimate” album about

her own life and her own relationships. “I was able to deal with experiences that I actually went through. To me, Accelerate is about moving forward – and getting all my thoughts out of my head and into the studio helped me do that.” Duffield first caught Warner Music’s attention in 2010 at the age of 15. A year later they released her debut single, Shut Up and Dance. The track earned platinum status for sales in excess of 120,000, and was the mostplayed song on radio by a Canadian artist for nine weeks. The video also earned her a MuchMusic Video Award nomination, and it reached top spot on the station’s top 20 Countdown. Her debut album, Shut Up and Dance, was released in the summer of 2012, and it propelled her into pop stardom. It was nominated for a Juno Award in the pop album category, and she won a Canadian Radio Music Award and Nielsen E n t e r t a i n m e n t ’s Emerging Artist Award. Duffield’s singles have amassed more than 100,000 radio spins, while her music videos combined to garner more than 10 million views on YouTube.

Take foundation’s ‘Vital Signs’ online survey Abbotsford residents can have their say on five key community issues by completing the 2014 Vital Signs online survey. The five topics include: arts and culture, crime and safety, employment, environment and transportation. “Last year we focused on other issues including housing, education, health care, poverty, food security and community engagement and belonging,” said Susan McAlevy, executive director of the Abbotsford Community Foundation (ACF). This year, by surveying these other five topics, ACF will have completed all of the core Vital Signs issue areas examined by other community foundations across Canada for their communities, McAlevy explained. The 2014 Vital Signs report will be carried in The News in early October in time for municipal election discussions and have the info in both the 2013 and 2014 Vital Signs reports raised at all-candidate gatherings, said McAlevy.
“By participating in the survey, residents will be helping our community define the areas it sees as key to Abbotsford’s future,” she added. “Do we need better bus service? More cultural and
artistic offerings in our community? More support for the jobless and more actions to reduce pollution? These are the types of questions we are asking. The candidates’ answers to these
ment in this year’s survey, providing participants with an opportunity to share their “bold” ideas on any of these five topic areas. All participants must be 18 years of age or
older and residents of Abbotsford. Those who complete the survey will be entered in a draw to win an iPad mini. Visit the Foundation’s website at www.abbotsfordcf.org or http://
fluidsurveys.com/s/ ACF2014Survey/ to take the survey. For more information contact Susan McAlevy at 604-850-3755 or smcalevy@abbotsfordcf. org.

In the lobby of an Abbotsford middle school, Sylvia Smith opens a bag and out spill framed pictures, scrapbooks and memorabilia from the the early 1990s. The collection is faded, and the memories are fuzzy too, but they sharpen as Sylvia pages through a photo album. In one monochrome picture, Sylvia and teammate
Debbie Peters surround an opponent, all three battling for a basketball. Time is frozen. Possession of the grey sphere is all that matters. Like so many years, the pages flip and flip, until the book closes on a college basketball career. The album – years 1988 to 1992 – is tucked back in the bag. But the past has a way of seeping into the present. Today, Smith stands beside Peters on the sidelines Continued on A31

‘It’s a proud moment’
of an air-conditioned gym where, alone under a hoop, a 13-year-old girl in a practice jersey heaves balls at a distant rim. Swish. Swish. At the centre of the gym, a taller 14-year-old girl giggles with a teammate. Squint and you’ll see the resemblance. But watch the girls in action – witness Kyla Smith ripping the ball away from an opponent, or Nicola Peters driving the lane – and you’ll get a look back in time, to how the girls’ mothers competed. Two decades ago, Smith and Peters played together for two seasons on a Trinity Western University team that was one of the top basketball squads in the country. Now they’re back in the same basketball gym as their daughters Kyla and Nicola prepare to take on the province in the BC Summer Games later this month as part one of the Fraser Valley’s two entries. TTT One thing is for sure. The girls’ team will not be cowed. Off the court, 13-yearold Kyla is well-adjusted, humble and apologetic, her mother says. On the basketball court, it’s a different matter. “She’s a bit of a beast on the court. She has made the defence cry.� Kyla isn’t oblivious to this. Ask her what drew her to the sport, Kyla says, “I like how you can go ‘beast mode’ and go crazy and aggressive.� Sure, she also likes to pass the ball around and make plays, but it’s the competition and the contact that stand out. Kyla and her two brothers, 15-year-old Cade (who will play baseball in the Summer Games) and 10-year-old Treyson, occasionally will try to play a basketball game. It doesn’t end well. “It’s just a lot of fouls,� she says. That beast might be unique to Kyla, but her mother says she sees some of herself shining through in her daughter – most notably her passion for the sport. “I have totally enjoyed watching Kyla play basketball,� she says. “She is so aggressive and hardworking and she’s got a real great work ethic on the court.� Nicola, 14, has the
same drive and intensity. She’s an on-court leader who can drive to the rim and use her 5’9� frame. But ask her about her strengths, and the quick response is: “I’m really aggressive.� Although Nicola has played a range of sports, none came as naturally to her as basketball, says Debbie, who is an assistant coach on the Summer Games team. (Kyla’s father, Tim, is the head coach). Her aggression, physicality and court sense have always been there, says Debbie, who recognizes a little of herself in her daughter. “She likes to be a leader and take charge a little bit. She likes to play to win.� TTT What is certain is that both Kyla and Nicola are already well ahead of their mothers’ skills at the same age. Whereas Sylvia didn’t start playing basketball until she was in Grade 7, Kyla was dribbling a ball before she was in elementary school. Nicola too, has progressed quickly after first picking up a ball more than seven years ago. “She’s developed way more than I ever did when I was in Grade 8, that’s for sure,� says Debbie. Sylvia joined TWU’s basketball program in 1988, with Debbie joining two years later. During their time together, the Spartans were ranked as high as 15th in the nation. Sylvia left the school in 1992; and in 1994, Debbie’s final year, TWU finished fourth in the country. “It’s so long ago, it’s like another world,� Sylvia notes. In the years since, the two women have crossed paths occasionally and both became physical education teachers. They’re at different schools – Sylvia at Alexander elementary school, Debbie at Mennonite Education Institute – but Sylvia happened to marry another MEI PE teacher. Whether it was playing on a club basketball team in Abbotsford or watching their kids play volleyball on the same teams, their sporting lives have also regularly intersected. “It’s amazing how the sports world will draw you together,� Sylvia says. Now, the two moms are excited to be watching their kids compet-
ing together on a larger stage. “It’s a proud moment as a parent to see your kid on the court,� Sylvia says. “Knowing how passionate we were about it, taking it to university level, seeing our girls start and being able to start way younger than we did is exciting.� With the Summer Games approaching, there is no shortage of excitement. “Everyone I’ve talked to has said it’s the experience of a lifetime,� Nicola says. Kyla agrees and is confident their team, which lost just once in a recent regional tournament and boasts five Abbotsford players, will perform. Both girls are looking forward to having their mothers cheer them on. “I think it’s kind of cool seeing your ‘little-me’ playing,� Nicola says. The BC Summer Games run from July 17 to 20 in Nanaimo. Nicola and Kyla are just two of dozens of Abbotsfordarea athletes participating at the event.

Annabel Johnson from Abbotsford finished with a silver medal in the U15 girls division at the BC Youth Criterium Championship held at the Mission Raceway Monday night.
Inaugral youth cycling event
JASON ROESSLE Abbotsford News
The debut of the BC Youth Criterium Championships had 37 of British Columbia’s top bicycle riders showcase their talents at the Mission Raceway on Monday. A criterium is a mass-start road-cycle race consisting of several laps around a closed circuit. Racers from 12 to 17 years old had to endure a hot summer night to challenge the 2.1-kilometre circuit, set up at the River’s Edge road course on the raceway grounds. “Our first BC Youth Criterium Championships was a huge success. We had a great venue, and more importantly, great support from the youth teams. “We had riders from Vancouver Island, the Interior as well as from all over the Greater Vancouver area. And to top it off, the racing was awesome,” said Barry Lyster,

Driveway test driver Zack Spencer says today’s crossover vehicles have replaced the popular station wagon of yesteryear. Do you agree? Is there something about the station wagon that appeals more to you? Lexus joins the compact crossover lineup with the all-new NX.

OF THE WEEK!
Drive The worldwide launch of the NX was held right here in B.C., driving between ultra modern Vancouver and the rustic resort of Whistler. International guests were exposed to the two sides of the NX, the polished city vehicle and the weekend getaway SUV. Powering around the mountain resort, I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct inject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles. With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion; it is getting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. Lexus has made no bones about its target; it sees the Audi Q5 as the benchmark in this class. Audi has been at the small turbocharged game a lot longer and it shows, plus the handling of the NX isn’t sharp at all. In fact, all the passengers inside the base model test vehicle noticed the top-heavy body roll. Verdict What Lexus (Toyota) has been up to over the past ten-plus years is
producing hybrid cars in numbers nobody else can touch. This new NX is also available as a hybrid, but don’t expect any kind of show-stopping performance. Rated at just 194hp, the heavier NX 300h hybrid might be outclassed by just-as-thrifty diesel options in the market. The price of the NX 200T has not been set but if you look at the Audi Q5 as a target, expect the price to start at roughly $41,000 when it goes on sale at the end of 2014. Fuel economy has also not been set but with a direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder under the hood, this new Lexus should be better on fuel than the larger RX350 equipped with a V6 engine. As the small SUV market continues to grow, and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while. The Lowdown Power: 235hp 2.0L turbo or 194hp hybrid Fill-up: N/A Sticker price: N/A
Safety Tip: There are some quick safety checks you can make on your vehicle to protect yourself and your passengers. For starters, make sure the head restraints are at least level with the top of the head and as close as possible to the back of the head to help prevent injury.

driveway The five cars baby boomers miss the most Firebird gone, it’s reasonably certain that the famous T/A, with surely the most audacious hood decal, is gone for good (at least from GM). For people who just can’t accept that, performance car genius Ken Lingenfelter will sell you a fantastic Trans Am-inspired Camaro LTA. Chevrolet El Camino: The half-car, half-pickup concept had real legs, lasting from the 1950s through the 1980s. It deserves another shot but GM seems to disagree, having on multiple occasions stubbornly refused to bring back the beloved El Camino. MGB: MG was the sports car Americans loved first, with servicemen bringing back MG TCs after WWII. When it was introduced in 1962, few could have imagined that the MGB would be the last new MG sold in the U.S. Nonetheless, that’s how it played out. In 1980, with the
Baby boomers are in full nostalgia mode as they contemplate their lost youth. And as the last generation that really bought into North America’s love affair with the automobile, it’s natural that some of that nostalgia is of the fourwheeled variety. Here are five of the cars that baby boomers miss the most: Pontiac GTO: It’s still hard for Widetrack fans to believe that the entire division is no more. It was a virtual tossup between Nos. 1 and 2 as to the most missed car, but with the 50th anniversary of the GTO (and arguably the muscle car itself) coming up, it has to be the Goat. Not the Australian Holden-in-disguise that we got from 2004-06, mind you, but the real 1964-72 bit of classic American muscle. Pontiac Trans Am: With Pontiac and therefore the

British auto industry in a free fall, the quaint factory in Abingdon, England, was closed, and that was it for MGs in the U.S. Even though woefully outdated, the MGB had little to no competition and could have gone on almost indefinitely, or at least until 1989, when the Mazda Miata was introduced.

Room enough to Pilot the entire family 2014 Honda Pilot.
with seven speakers and a subwoofer is available on the LX 2wd, LX, EX and EX-L model while the Touring comes with a 650-watt, AM/FM/CD Premium audio system with MP3/Windows media and 10 speakers including a 5.1 surround sound theater mode, also a 15 GB hard drive (HDD) audio storage. There is an available Honda DVD rear entertainment system with 9-inch display. And check this out: there’s an optional Honda satellite-linked navigation system with trilingual voice recognition that responds to over 800 verbal commands Safety first: The 2014 Pilot’s standard safety equipment includes Vehicle Stability Assist, commonly known as electronic stability control with traction control and ABS. There are three row-side curtain airbags with roll over sensors; dual stage front air bags, a driver’s front side air bag, and a passenger’s front side air bag with occupant position detection system. There’s also hill start assist on all models. The VTM-4 system directs power to the front differential when extra traction is not required, helping with the fuel economy, when more traction is required, the system engages the rear differential. Power: The 3.5 litre, 24-valve, SOHC i-VTEC V6 engine delivers 250 hp and 253 ft. lbs. of torque. Variable cylinder management (VCM) which shuts down two or three cylinders when not required. The five-speed automatic transmission runs smoothly and very quietly when shifting. When the green ECO light comes on, I noticed the transmission was a little noisier as the engine decreased the number of cylinders in operation. The Pilot has a tow rating of 2045 kg (4500 lb) Roadworthy: I took the Touring edition up some logging roads in Squamish. It was incredibly smooth as it glided over potholes and dodged ditches. Verdict: The 2014 Honda Pilot is a reliable/spacious SUV, easy to drive around town and a real joy to drive off-road.

Often, in our first meeting with a client, we discover that they have been attempting to navigate the legal system on their own. Often they have become too overwhelmed to carry on, or in some cases the judge has requested that they retain legal counsel before continuing with their claim. Why do clients see us when many times it’s too late? There are a number of reasons why, but it’s often because of one of three reasons: They don’t believe they can

This will generally be at a cost, but you are not required to hire that lawyer on the spot. Ask them all the questions you might have and determine what your options are before getting started. Overall the cost in having these initial steps assessed by a lawyer can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars by hav-

By doing so, you can know that your next step into the legal arena is done properly and with confidence. Sheri is an associate lawyer with RDM Lawyers LLP in Abbotsford.

WIEBE Louise Louise Wiebe left us peacefully in the early hours of July 5, 2014. At her side were her four daughters and three grandsons. Louise was born September 22, 1919, in Dalmeny, SK, the eldest of the four children of Wilhelm T. Thiessen and Mary (Schultz) Thiessen. The Thiessens lived behind the family business, the town post office and a general store. After high school Louise attended business college in Saskatoon, and then worked in several government services during the war years in Ottawa. Here she met William A. Wiebe, whom she married on August 18, 1944 in Dalmeny. The couple lived first in Beechy, SK, and then in Saskatoon, where their first daughter was born. The family moved to Abbotsford, BC in 1947 where Bill continued his teaching career. Three more daughters were born there. Louise and Bill loved travelling together, visiting many countries on every continent but Antarctica. They lived and worked in Nigeria, Singapore, and Kansas, always returning to Abbotsford as their home base. A creative homemaker and a gracious hostess, Louise expressed herself in excellent cooking, beautifully sewn clothing for her girls, and countless colourful quilts that continue to warm every family member. Louise was gifted with a nature that was calm, steady, and cheerful. Ever adaptable, she “made the best of things” always. Her faith was strong and sustaining, and she prayed daily for each family member by name. We honour her as a woman beautiful in every way. Louise was predeceased by her beloved Bill on August 19, 2006, the day after they reached their 62nd anniversary. She is survived by sister Marie Allport of Evanston, WY, and by her daughters Karen (Bill) Parchomchuk of Kelowna, Phyllis (Taisto) Heinonen of Hope, Ellen (Allan Oas) Wiebe of Vancouver and Audrey (Stan) Loewen of Abbotsford. She also leaves behind a legacy of love to 12 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Memorial Service will be held at Bakerview MB Church, 2285 Clearbrook Rd., Monday, July 14th at 2 pm.
