NDP ‘wrong’ on university pay cap claims advanced education minister Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk says the NDP is wrong in its claims that more B.C. universities, including the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), have paid senior executives more than permitted under salary caps set by the provincial government.

The NDP obtained salary cap details for three universities – Capilano University, UFV and Vancouver Island University – and said reported compensation paid to 14 executives at the schools exceeded their caps by a total of more than $1.1 million over three years.

Financial disclosures show the three universities paid their presidents between $230,000 and $245,000 in the last year – more in each case than their $225,000 caps, according to the NDP. The NDP numbers released show UFV president Mark Evered, whose cap is listed at $225,000, received compensation of $231,039 in 2014 and was overpaid $24,750 over three years.

Eric Davis, university vice-president, has a listed salary cap of $185,745 and received compensation of $219,003 in 2014, and according to the NDP received overcompensation of $97,541 for three years.

Jackie Hogan, UFV’s chief financial officer, received $193,162 in 2014, and her overcompensation is listed at $6,831 over three years. According to the NDP’s analysis, vice-presidents Karola Stinson and Karen Evans did not receive overpayments.

The allegation of UFV executive overcompensation is simply not true, and is both disappointing and damaging to UFV.

Barry Delaney

VP Harvey McCollough’s listed overpayment was $43,308 and VP Jody Gordon’s was $9,345.

Barry Delaney, chairman of the UFV board of governors, sent a letter to students, faculty, staff, alumni and the community, assuring them that the university has followed the rules for compensation.

He added that UFV compensation is fully disclosed and the school would welcome an external review.

“The allegation of UFV executive overcompensation is simply not true, and is

both disappointing and damaging to UFV.” Delaney explained that the misunderstanding on the issue arose from the difference between total base salary alone, versus total compensation, which includes benefits, severance, vacation payouts and more. The letter included UFV’s executive compensation disclosure statement for the 2013/14 year.

The Public Sector Employers Council (PSEC), which enforces the salary cap policy, has since refused to disclose pay caps for other B.C. post-secondary institutions, prompting the Opposition to accuse Virk of covering up further violations in the wake of a recent probe of overpayments at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

But in a statement emailed by his office, Virk said the caps on presidents’ total compensation do not apply to other senior post-secondary executives, who are instead subject to a salary range approved

by PSEC. Those ranges don’t include additional benefits and pension, which he said the NDP mistakenly counted in its calculations, adding about 20 per cent.

Virk also said total compensation for presidents can fluctuate year to year due to higher benefit and pension costs beyond the employer’s control, and due to onetime payments such as unused vacation payouts.

Company refunded overpaid gas charges Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford businessowner is urging gas customers to check their invoices after winning a protracted battle against a third-party provider who had him paying triple the normal gas rate.

Earlier this month, Maximum Collision owner Carl Jamieson finally received a cheque for more than $25,000 in overpaid gas charges.

Jamieson had unknowingly overpaid for gas for more than three years after an employee had unwittingly – and without authorization – signed a fiveyear contract in March of 2010.

That contract was brought to Jamieson’s attention a month later, and he thought he had cancelled his contract with the company, Active Energy.

Unbeknownst to Jamieson, though, the company had opened a second account for the business. And unlike the cancelled account, which was to provide gas to an office

books – and that the contract had him paying three times the normal rate – Jamieson asked the BCUC to force Access Gas to pay him back.

Jamieson argued the contract was invalid as the signing employee lacked the authority to enter into such a contract. .

After dozens of calls, Jamieson offered to drop the issue if Access Gas paid back 90 per cent of what its new acquisition had overcharged.

Access offered 25 per cent.

That offer only solidified Jamieson’s resolve. In April, the BCUC ruled in his favour and ordered Access to repay the money. An appeal failed and Jamieson finally received a cheque earlier this month.

Having won his battle, Jamieson wants other businesses who may have been victimized to know it’s not too late to reclaim overpayments.

“I think there are others that don’t know,” he said.

Hamon gets two years in jail Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

His leg shaking, Matthew Hamon issued a tearful apology Tuesday for driving drunk and causing an accident that killed his best friend and injured two young women.

Hamon had a blood alcohol content twice the legal limit in the early morning hours of Sept. 23, 2012, when the 1997 Chevrolet Malibu he was driving struck a concrete barricade, hit a power pole and flipped on Vye Road near Sumas Way. Brian Patchett, a 22-year-old father of two young children, died at the scene.

Two female passengers – Hamon’s then girlfriend and now-wife, and her cousin – suffered serious injuries and were hospitalized for two weeks.

Hamon, 23, was sentenced to two-anda-half years in prison Tuesday. He pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count of impaired driving causing death and two counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm.

“Thinking about all the things I should and shouldn’t have done, I wish I could just go back in time,” Hamon said.

Before Hamon’s speech, Judge Brent Hoy heard from Patchett’s wife, Liz Squires, and mother, Michelle Patchett.

Both spoke to the physical, emotional and spiritual damage caused by Brian’s death.

While she and Brian were separated at the time of the crash, Squires said she had “wanted nothing more than the opportunity to start again.”

His death put an end to that and forced her to explain to her young children what had happened to their father.

Michelle Patchett said she was “over-

Matthew Hamon come with grief, anger and sadness,” and said Brian was “becoming a wonderful father to his children.”

She and Squires both said they forgave Hamon, despite residual anger for the crash. Both also said they wish Brian had chosen not to get into the car that night.

Hamon was convicted earlier that year of assault with a weapon. He was given a suspended sentence and 18 months probation, during which he was prohibited from drinking.

He also only had a Class 7 licence and

A7

was not permitted to drive with alcohol in his system or more than one passenger. He was also supposed to be the designated driver the night the crash occurred.

Nevertheless, the court heard that Hamon – after consuming at least two drinks – had driven his three passengers from Abbotsford to a nightclub in Chilliwack the night of the crash. After consuming alcohol there, Hamon drove the three back to Abbotsford, where they stopped at McDonalds shortly before the crash.

An expert estimated that the vehicle was travelling between 96 and 110 km/h when it crashed. The car’s rear passenger-side door collided with a power pole, causing multiple blunt force injuries to Patchett, who was sitting in the rear passenger-side seat.

Hamon was arrested at the scene. His blood alcohol content was measured at 0.173 more than an hour after the crash occurred.

Crown counsel Rob MacGowan and defence lawyer David Silverman submitted a joint submission asking for a sentence of two years and six months in jail, to be followed by a three-year driving prohibition.

Judge Hoy agreed that such a sentence was appropriate, noting “the defendant’s level of moral culpability is high.”

Low water use, despite recent heat Though temperatures have recently been high, Abbotsford has not gotten close to maximum water consumption levels.

Abbotsford and Mission share a water system, capable of supporting a total capacity of 123 million litres per day (MLD) for an indefinite period of time. A maximum of 134 MLD can be supplied for up to two days, but uses up reserves in both cities.

A maximum of 155 MLD can be supplied for one peak day.

Despite temperatures climbing higher than 30 C, the average water consumption for the water system between July 1 to July 14 was 84.5 MLD.

The Abbotsford/Mission water system at Norrish Creek has reported consumption at 84.5 million litres per day (MLD) between July 1 and 14. The system can handle a two-day maximum of 134 MLD. The peak day was July 14, with 98.2 MLD used in the two communities.

Last year’s peak in the same period was 91 MLD and the year before had a peak of 84 MLD. The city hit a critically high

level of consumption in 2007 – at a peak of 139 MLD. Though the numbers remain low for early July, the typical time for peak water usage is in August and September.

For July and August, the city

QUESTION

WebTalk Moving off Hydro land

OF THE WEEK With the release of this year’s crime statistics, do you feel safer in Abbotsford?

There has to be a solution that fits everybody’s needs. Why is there such a long journey to resolving these issues? There are “good heads” on all sides.

We need less debate and more action!

And not a Band-aid, a permanent solution, because this social boo-boo isn’t getting better, nor will it go away on it’s own.

Jeannine Chretien Landriault

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Would you support gravel removal in the Fraser River to aid flood protection efforts?

Is there any BC Hydro equipment in the vicinity?

Brian Lang Nobody has time for the homeless do they? They are just considered bums, a problem. Crap happens, anyone can lose their house. Once you reach the bottom, it is almost impossible to make it back up.

B.C. Views When the audited public accounts confirmed a $353 million surplus for the last fiscal year, B.C. Liberal political staff were quick to remind reporters of the NDP’s main theme from last year’s election campaign.

Pages of election quotes from almost every NDP MLA were waiting to be distributed. It was a “bogus budget,” one of the more polite tags applied to the government’s pre-election fiscal plan.

“It underestimates the costs in a whole bunch of ministries and we’re going to have to review that because all of the decisions that we propose in our platform will have to be implemented,” said then-leader Adrian Dix, describing the NDP’s plans to tax and spend more.

Skeena MLA Robin Austin targeted health care in the budget debate: “Bearing

in mind that our population is actually increasing, bearing in mind that our population is aging, I think it’s very unrealistic to think we can actually limit health care expenditures to 2.7 per cent.”

As it turned out, health care spending grew by just over two per cent. It still went up by $360 million from the previous year, but after annual increases of six or seven per cent had become the norm, this is quite an achievement.

New agreements remain to be negotiated with doctors and nurses, so we’re unlikely to see the same cost control results for the current year.

Ottawa’s health care transfer payment formula has changed, and increases are to be capped at three per cent a year by 2016, so this is the kind of spending restraint all provinces are expected to produce.

Education was the only other ministry to receive significant extra funding last year, up $299 million despite continuing enrolment decline. Like health, the educa-

tion budget goes up every year, and these increases, along with strong student performance results, expose the rhetoric of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation about a cashstarved system for what it is.

But the biggest fabrication of last year’s election was the “debt free B.C.” slogan emblazoned on the side of Premier Christy Clark’s campaign bus.

The public accounts confirm that the province’s total debt rose to just over $60 billion, the latest of a series of increases since 2008. The much-touted balanced budget is on the operating side, while the province continues to pile up debt to pay for the Port Mann mega-project, hospitals, schools and other big infrastructure.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong emphasized the difference between capital and operating expenditures.

“We’re borrowing to build as opposed to paying for the groceries,” he said.

“Debt free B.C.” was not an outright misrepresentation, merely one of the most

The much-touted balanced budget in on the operating side

far-fetched promises ever delivered in the history of B.C. politics. The legislature is to convene in October so the B.C. Liberals can pass a taxation framework for the nascent liquefied natural gas industry, which the government hopes will generate the revenues to ultimately pay off the province’s $60-billion mortgage.

Meanwhile there is more capital debt ahead. The cabinet is expected to greenlight the Site C dam on the Peace River this fall, a decade-long project estimated to cost $8 billion.

Along with the public accounts, the finance ministry released a list of surplus land sales. The sale of 50-odd properties, some of them closed schools, netted the provincial treasury about $310 million, which accounts for most of the surplus.

Was this “selling off the family silverware to try and balance the books,” as now-NDP leader John Horgan termed it before the election? It’s certainly not a revenue source to be matched next year.

CGLAP to protect landowners’ rights The uproar and concern of the various groups of the public who are adamantly protesting over the Northern Gateway pipeline’s tentative approval seem to forget one very important thing.

Both the Canadian National Railway and the Canadian Pacific Railway are ready and willing to start using “unit trains,” similar to the coal trains that rumble along to the Roberts Bank super port. Instead of coal, the trains will be bringing the Alberta tar sands-bitumen crude to Kitimat or Westridge Terminals in Burnaby.

Everyone recognizes the potential negative consequences of an ocean spill, but could we imagine the catastrophic results of one

70,000 litre rail car or 100 of those cars derailing along the Skeena River or the Fraser River; a scenario with undoubtedly severe immediate consequence. The use of trains instead of a pipeline brings a greater chance of a disaster equal to any ocean oil spill.

The Collaborative Group of Landowners Affected by Pipelines (CGLAP) can say this with some degree of knowledge because we live with an oil pipeline on our land and many of us have for a very long time, that in our opinion, the pipeline is a far safer mode of transportation compared to rail. One only needs to look at last year’s Lac Megantic derailment disaster as an example of devas-

tation shipping oil by rail.

The residents of the Fraser Valley should feel lucky that our association holds intervenor status with regard to the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion project.

Instead of attempting to halt the construction of this pipeline expansion, we are holding Trans Mountain and its parent Kinder Morgan to the highest standard of construction never before seen in Canada.

CGLAP will ensure that this new pipeline will meet and exceed standards we as farmers and landowners here in Canada’s breadbasket have set out with the NEB that must be met prior to construction. CGLAP will also ensure accountability

to build the new pipeline with the object of responsibility not only to CGLAP members but every resident of the Fraser Valley.

CGLAP’s end objective going forward is to make sure every directly affected member is treated fairly and Kinder Morgan shows respect to each of us during and after the construction phase of

“Best Breakfast in Town!”

the new larger pipe. At the end of the project, we hope to be valued business partners with Kinder Morgan and not just a faceless thoroughfare.

If you are a directly affected landowner and wish more information on CGLAP, please visit our Facebook page and leave us a message.

Many times I have thought how wonderful the powered motor scooters are for people who are unable to walk on their own, and especially the very elderly. I would hope they realize the power that is moving these scooters.

Unfortunately, I had been knocked down just recently in a grocery store by one of these scooters. As well as a concussion, I was left with an eight-inch split in the back of my head. Seconds before being knocked down, I very clearly remember seeing quite an elderly lady in a scooter a short distance from me who I presume mistakenly shifted her scooter into high gear towards me.

After many tests at the hospital, I was informed that my brain was not damaged and as well was given a capacity test by my doctor, my memory being as excellent as before. At my age of almost 90, I feel quite fortunate and thankful.

Because these very powerful motor scooters are being used more frequently, I feel it should be mandatory for everyone using them that they go through an extensive test and definitely a doctor’s medical report and capacity test. I also feel there should be a re-testing every so often.

An Abbotsford woman who went on a spree of stealing wallets and credit cards in late 2011 and early 2012 apologized in court last Monday, just before the judge sentenced her to 15 months’ house arrest. “I am sorry, and that’s not the person I am today ‌ I am sorry for the things I did,â€? Michelle Lee Lachapelle said in Abbotsford provincial court.

Lachapelle, 35, pleaded guilty to nine charges – four counts of theft, two counts of the unauthorized use of credit card data, and one count each of fraud, possessing/using a stolen credit card and possessing stolen property.

She was initially facing 29 charges, but several of those charges were merged.

The offences encompass almost a dozen separate incidents in which Lachapelle stole wallets and other items – including cash, iPhones and gift cards – from people whose valuables were put aside at locations such as the Abbotsford Recreation Centre (ARC), a hair salon and MSA Arena.

She would then use their credit cards to rack up purchases at various locations.

Ũ,*/(4 0' "##:Ŋ 4,"5&#0"3% &7&/5

In one instance, Lachapelle purchased $700 in tires and had them installed at AbbSry Tires.

Lachapelle also stole the wallet of a teacher who had left her purse in her classroom while she accompanied her students to a school Christmas concert.

Lachapelle used the woman’s credit card to purchase some items, including a porcelain cross, at the House of James bookstore.

In several of the cases, Lachapelle’s crimes were captured on video surveillance, and police recognized her in the images.

She was also identified through GPS tracking systems on phones she had stolen, the licence plate of her vehicle and witness descriptions, through which several people mentioned Lachapelle’s distinctive barbed-wire tattoo on her upper right arm.

The Crown and defence lawyers made a joint submission to Judge Gregory Brown, both recommending that Lachapelle be sentenced to 15 months’ house arrest, rather than being jailed.

The lawyers said her actions had been the result of a “drugaddled mind.�

Peter McDermick, Lachapelle’s lawyer, said his client’s offences were impulsive acts of desperation, related to relapsing into a

crack cocaine addiction.

However, he said Lachapelle has since turned her life around.

She has moved out of Abbotsford, has been clean and sober for 19 months, regularly attends and facilitates 12-step meetings, goes to church, is in a stable relationship, and is focused on caring for her five children.

McDermick said Lachapelle has taken full responsibility for her actions, as evidenced by her guilty pleas. “It’s night and day from the woman who committed these offences,� he said.

Although Brown expressed concerns that a relapse could see Lachapelle return to criminal activity, he said a sentence served in the community is best. “There are so many different victims, all in her own community, and so many different crimes ‌ but I do have to look at rehabilitation,â€? the judge said.

Lachapelle’s conditional sentence requires her to remain on her property, although she is allowed to leave in several circumstances, including when accompanied by her children or partner or attending church or 12-step meetings. She is also permitted to go grocery shopping on her own two days a week between the hours of noon and 6 p.m.

Profit versus Peace

Propane cannons a necessary means to protect crops, say farmers, but neighbours argue their right to enjoy their properties is impacted

Second in a series of stories in which The Abbotsford News examines the role, use and effect of propane cannons.

Frequent loud blasts fray nerves Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

L

iving next to a propane cannon can feel like being in a war zone, according to some neighbours.

Ken Howard and his wife Diane Danvers had lived on Downes Road for some 25 years when the first blueberry farm moved in across the road.

“It used to be a nice, quiet hay field,” Howard says.

But in 2008 the first blasts of a propane cannon rang out across the couple’s five-acre hobby farm.

“When it first started, I thought there must be something wrong,” Danvers says.

The couple’s dog sought refuge in the house and Danvers’ milk cow became

jumpy. That summer, a company hired by the couple measured the cannon sound at 92.8 decibels. That year there were two cannons, each firing three shots every five minutes.

By 2011, five cannons were firing across the street. The cannons are allowed to fire from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., with a pause between noon and 3 p.m.

Last year, the grower was asked by the Farm Industry Review Board to modify his practices and try other measures to keep birds away.

It wasn’t enough for neighbour Barbara Fischer, who lodged the complaint. She has since moved to Osoyoos, saying the cannons were the “final straw” that convinced her to leave. Her prop-

Danvers and Howard say the cannons have changed the way they spend their time at home, which has been in Danvers’ family since the 1940s.

“We go away during the day,” Danvers says.

“It’s quite precious when they stop.”

••••

More than 40 million pounds of blueberries are grown every year in Abbotsford. In the last decade, hundreds of acres of farmland across the city have been plowed under and replaced by blueberries.

Many, but not all, of the farms use propane cannons to ward off birds. It’s in the city’s east, where rural acreages abut the blueberry fields, that the conflict

between farmers and neighbours is most felt.

Christine BelleriveEsmail and her husband, Hari Esmail, bought their six-acre home three years ago in March. Then, one day in the early summer, they and their two young children awoke to the cannons.

Now, Bellerive-Esmail tries to wake up before 7 a.m. so she can shut her window. Her win-

dow faces the farm and its cannon, which is obscured only by a row of hedges. If it remains open, she’ll be jarred awake by the blasts from the blueberry cannon next door.

“When you’re not expecting it at seven o’clock in the morning, it’s really a shock,” Bellerive-Esmail says.

The couple worry about their six-year-old daughter and eight-

year-old son.

“The noise really affects the kids because they’re up at the first cannon blast,” Esmail says.

They also have concerns about the psychological and physical effects of repeated and long-term exposure to the blasts.

“It’s that anticipation of that second blast, or third blast,” he says.

“That can’t be healthy for anybody.”

The Abbotsford-based BC Blueberry Council employs a liaison who tries to minimize conflict between the two groups. But many residents wish the use of propane cannons was covered by stricter rules. There is unhappiness with the provincial government, which quashed a move by the City of Abbotsford to restrict the use of noise devices.

As the cannon fire continued next door, Bellerive-Esmail said: “In order to allow them to have their right to farm, you’re basically stripping us of or rights.”

Devices prevent birds from consuming berries Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

J

TYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News

Blueberry farmer Jarnail Heer says he needs his blueberry cannon to keep birds away from his crop.

arnail Heer wishes he didn’t have to use propane cannons.

But the Huntingdon Road farmer says that without the devices, birds would devour a large proportion of the blueberries that grow on his 36acre farm.

The birds “come like a cloud,” he says. “If you left that field alone, without the cannons, after three days you wouldn’t see any blueberries on the branches.”

Heer says he uses all the devices at his disposal, and tries to limit his use of the cannon.

But squawking noisemakers, bright ribbons, plastic hawks and men on ATVs can only do so much.

“We try to start [the cannons] late in the season so the birds don’t get used to them,” Heer says. “They’re very smart.”

As it is, Heer says the birds consume about 10 per cent of his crop.

At his Fore Road farm, Devinder Brar employs workers who keep an eye on the birds and try to flush them from his 40 acres of berries.

He claims the noise isn’t He also strings ribbons high excessive and is often shortabove his crop to dissuade lived. landing birds.

“My people around me don’t have a problem,” says Heer, who has been farming in the area for two decades. “We educated them that we can’t live without this thing.”

The BC Blueberry Council also works to minimize disputes, and the organization’s executive director, Debbie Etsell, says most of those efforts are successful.

Etsell stressed that cannons are “one tool in the toolbox” and says growers are encouraged to use a range of options to combat birds.

“Most of our growers aren’t out there to irritate their neighbours. We do have a few cases where they’re not compliant in the guidelines and we do whatever we can to mitigate that.”

But she also stressed the need for local agriculture.

“I think people need to be concerned about where their food comes from, because there are a lot of other places in the world that can produce it for much more economically, but is it as safe and is it of the quality of what we have in our own backyard?”

60s who lives on Fern Street and told her there had been a water-main break.

He asked to see the woman’s ID to prove that she was a resident of the home.

The man suggested the woman check her backyard for water seepage and told her that, while she was doing that, he would check the front yard.

After he left, the resident noticed that her purse and wallet had been stolen.

The purse was found the following day by an elevator repairman, who came across it in an elevator shaft and called police. Some of the items were still in the purse, but others, including cash, were missing.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian, about 30 years old, and with short, curly dark hair.

He was wearing a green golf shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers with black shoelaces, and was carrying a red cellphone.

Energy savings offered to lowerincome families Tom FLETCHER Black Press

BC Hydro and FortisBC are expanding their low-income energy conservation programs to reduce the impact of rising electricity costs.

One program offers free energy saving kits, including compact fluorescent light bulbs, weatherstripping, thermometers to optimize operation of the fridge and freezer and a high-efficiency shower head.

The other offers free home energy evaluations to see if their home qualifies for an energy-efficient refrigerator or extra insulation.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett said the government changed regulations to increase the low-income cutoff to qualify for the programs. A family of four earning up to $57,200 can now qualify, up from $44,000, a change Bennett said will almost double the number of households who are eligible. The threshold for a two-person household is $38,300.

Customers of the two utilities have to apply and provide proof of income to

take advantage of the programs.

Bennett said last November he would seek ways to provide extra help for lowerincome customers when he unveiled a new BC Hydro rate plan. That plan will see electricity rates rise by 28 per cent over the next five years, with further increases to be determined at that time.

BC Hydro has other energy-saving incentives that are not income-tested, including a rebate program for installation of insulation, draftproofing, heat pumps and water heaters. Those require homeowners to pay for assessment to see if they qualify for rebates.

Bennett said BC Hydro spends $160 million a year on its whole range of energy efficiency programs, including those for commercial and industrial customers.

The utility has set an “aggressive� goal to meet 78 per cent of its demand growth through energy conservation, reducing the need to build new generating capacity, he said.

A predicted massive run of Fraser River sockeye has yet to show up in force, so no commercial salmon fishing has yet been approved.

Fishery managers with the Pacific Salmon Commission said Friday fewer sockeye are coming in so far than expected, although that could change swiftly.

The commission’s Fraser River panel has not yet issued an estimate of the run size and said planned openings for seine boat fisheries have been pushed back to at least July 23.

Salmon face dangerously hot Fraser River temperatures 2010 run – projected 23 million sockeye would likely come back to the Fraser this summer, and it might run as high as 72 million.

Other challenges are ahead for the migrating fish if they prove to be merely late, not missing.

Hot weather and a smaller-than-average Interior snowpack is likely to result in more sockeye dying than usual on their journey upriver.

As of last Thursday, the temperature of the Fraser was 18.8 degrees – 2.8 degrees higher than average for this date.

“Sustained exposure of sockeye to Fraser River water temperatures in this range may slow their migration and cause elevated levels of pre-spawn mortality,” the PSC’s announcement cautioned.

Delay pushes decision past 2015 election National Energy Board extends review of Kinder Morgan twinning Jeff NAGEL Black Press

The National Energy Board is extending its review of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion by seven months to give the company more time to provide information on its revised route.

The regulator now plans to make a final recommendation on the project by Jan. 25, 2016, instead of July

2, 2015.

The federal government would then have six months to make a final decision on approving the project.

B.C. Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver said the delay has major political ramifications.

“What this has done is pushed the final decision on Kinder Morgan from before the federal election to after the federal election of 2015,” Weaver

delay for the review’s oral hearings, expected early next year.

Aboriginal traditional evidence hearings slated for late summer have now been split into three sessions through the fall.

The changes so far mean only minor delays in the next deadlines for intervenors, who say Kinder Morgan has not supplied good enough answers in response to

said. “That’s not going to be lost on people, because this is very much going to be an election issue.”

Burnaby NDP MP Kennedy Stewart called the extension a major victory that makes the pipeline unlikely to ever be built because the review process is now a “shambles.”

It’s not yet clear if the revised schedule will mean any significant

their questions. Those intervenors include the provincial government, the City of Vancouver and Lower Mainland regional districts.

The existing Trans Mountain pipeline runs on an east to west axis through the north of Abbotsford. Kinder Morgan also has two facilities in Abbotsford.

The Sumas pump station is on McDermott Road, just south of

Highway 1. From this station, the company’s Puget pipeline heads south into Washington State. From the Sumas pump station, the main pipeline continues up to Sumas Mountain.

The Sumas (storage) Terminal is located on Sumas Mountain.

From the terminal, the line continues west into Langley Township.

The new preferred route would drill or tunnel through Burnaby Mountain and the NEB has requested the company supply more information about that plan.

The City of Burnaby, however, has so far refused to allow Kinder Morgan access to the area and the company could ask the NEB for an order compelling the municipality to cooperate.

Weaver, who is also an intervenor, said the extra time added to the process should be used to ensure better answers are provided

on many fronts, not just ones related to the Burnaby routing.

He suggested more testing be conducted on how diluted bitumen behaves in ocean water.

Legislation requires the NEB to complete the review within 15 months, but that can be extended if the regulator requires more information.

Kinder Morgan did not immediately comment, saying it is “considering the implications of these changes.”

The NEB will now take applications for new intervenors affected by the route change in Burnaby.

The proposed $5.4-billion pipeline twinning would nearly triple Trans Mountain’s capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day and bring hundreds of additional oil tankers through Burrard Inlet each year.

More oil tankers may fuel Valley smog Jeff NAGEL Black Press

The huge increase in oil tankers that would come with a twinned Trans Mountain oil pipeline could significantly worsen air pollution, particularly in the Fraser Valley.

That’s one key concern raised by both Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley regional districts in their information requests to pipeline proponent Kinder Morgan.

Metro cites an expected increase of 1,518 tonnes per year of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from idling tankers and terminal operations, a number that dwarfs the current annual VOC emissions of 116 tonnes f ro m B u r n aby ’s Chevron oil refinery.

“The projected increase in VOC emissions in the Lower Fraser Valley due to the project at Westridge Marine Terminal is equivalent to adding 13 new refineries the size of the Chevron Burnaby refinery to the airshed,” said

Metro’s information request filed with the National Energy Board.

An increase in VOC emissions will likely trigger worse groundlevel ozone, according to Metro.

The FVRD noted the expanded Westridge Terminal alone would add the equivalent of an extra one per cent to the total VOC emissions in the airshed, and questioned how that wouldn’t further increase the frequency of ozone level exceedances that already sometimes happen in Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Hope.

Kinder Morgan responded that VOC emissions should be much lower than previously estimated because technology to scrub vapours from docked ships has turned out to be more efficient than first estimated.

The proposed second pipeline to carry oil sands bitumen to the Pacific would increase Trans Mountain’s capacity from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels per day and draw an estimated 400 tank-

FVRD reiterates concerns over incinerator plan The Fraser Valley Regional District has predicted Metro Vancouver’s plans to build a new garbage incinerator will further increase air pollution levels in the years ahead.

FVRD board chair Sharon Gaetz said the regional district is very concerned pollution from a new incinerator will further affect elderly and vulnerable Valley residents who often can’t go outside due to poor air quality.

“We hope that Metro Vancouver will finally acknowledge the pressure they will be putting on all British Columbians if they build another incinerator,” Gaetz said. “It would be ludicrous to consider building more facilities that will further harm our communities.”

Metro has argued the waste-to-energy project would have no significant net effect on air quality, because the energy generated can offset the burning of other fuels, as well as advanced emission scrubbing technology.

One of the proponents, a Delta cement plant, wants to burn the processed garbage as fuel and thereby reduce its current use of coal.

The project is not certain to be built in Metro either – a final site could be on Vancouver Island or near Squamish instead.

ers per year to the Burnaby terminal – eight times the number that loaded there in each of the past two years.

Metro has previously flagged emissions

from ships as one of the main sources of local air pollution.

The two regional districts wanted Kinder Morgan to revise the air quality model it used in

reaching its air pollution conclusions, but the company said it won’t do that because both Metro and the provincial environment ministry signed off on the model that

was used.

The company also pledged not to burn slash in the region during pipeline construction in response to another FVRD query.

Entrepreneurs donate profits to Matthew’s House Taylor recalled. “We were a lot younger then but we remember laughing with him.”

This connection became the impetus behind the change from a for-profit enterprise to an opportunity to bless others. They set up their lemonade stand at the end of their driveway and sold lemonade for 50 cents a glass. To their surprise, they found that most people were willing to give much more than that for a refreshing drink. In a couple of hours they

Matthew’s House opened its doors in November and many families have already used this resource.

Taylor, Ella and Ayden knew Matthew and have good memories of spending time with him.

“We hung out with Matthew at our house a couple of times,”

Every summer the enterprising children of the Wickens family set up a lemonade stand. It’s a fun way to earn a little extra money and to quench the thirst of someone passing by. But last summer, Taylor, 11, Ella, nine, and Ayden, seven, decided to do something different.

“We just thought of the idea to raise money for Matthew’s House instead of keeping the money to ourselves,” said Taylor.

Matthew’s House

managed to raise a total of $37.23. Their success made quite an impact on the children.

“My heart felt happy that we were doing a nice thing by not keeping the money to ourselves,” Ella said.

Ayden reflected on the spiritual nature of their enterprise.

“I felt like we were doing what Jesus would want us to do,” he said.

The Wickens’ lemonade stand will go up again this summer and they’re considering expanding on their success by selling Rainbow Loom bracelets that they have made along with the lemonade.

Timed plantings will yield food throughout season Gardening

I know it’s hot out there, but let’s keep our food gardens growing seamlessly through the summer and into fall and winter.

A number of things have changed the way we grow our own food.

First, less is more.

Vegetable gardens have become smaller but more productive. I think most of us have realized that we tend to grow too much of one type of vegetable, that it all matures at the same time, and that a lot of it ends up in the compost because we have busy lives and no time to process and preserve our food.

Zucchini anyone?

Now we grow two to three clusters of lettuce and a few tomatoes, cucumbers and squash to keep us nicely supplied with fresh produce through the summer. The same is true of brassicas, like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and kale and of root crops like beets, carrots, parsnips and turnips. Greens, like swiss chard and spinach, are now planted in smaller

quantities so we can use it up in two to three weeks with little or no waste. We are growing pole beans and peas on tripod frames to make better use of space and to enjoy a far greater production. Cucumbers are also being grown this way. Smaller spaces, fewer plants, more creativity make for a well used garden needing less effort.

Another trend is towards adopting a more continual and sequential planting scheme.

Not everything needs or should be planted at once. Early, cold-hardy plants, like onions, early potatoes, brassicas and peas can be planted in late March or early April. While carrots and beets germinate better in warmer

I have to give the breeders in our industry a great deal of credit for their creativity in developing, through traditional breeding, a whole array of more compact vegetables that produce better, more disease-resistant crops that have higher levels of nutrition and antioxidant values. Bush cucumbers, tumbling tomatoes, ‘Simply Salad’ lettuce blends, bush summer and winter squash are all examples of new varieties that produce quality food in much less space. We now

temperatures, and squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, beans and basil love the heat.

To save time and to make food gardening more efficient, many folks are using transplants and even larger plants grown in fourinch pots for a quick turnaround. This can save weeks of time and keep a nice supply of fresh food flowing to your table. As one crop finishes, another one is popped in throughout the summer and on through fall until winter vegetables take over.

have smaller cabbage heads, more productive peppers and better, longer lasting broccoli.

The variety of food has also expanded, like multi-coloured carrots, green, cheddar and purple cauliflower, gold and green beets, sweeter yellow tomatoes and crossover hot peppers, like ‘Chenzo’ and ‘Loco’, which are both edible and ornamental.

Food gardening is easy and fun, so keep that little garden space going. We’re only half way through the growing season. Enjoy!

United Way has record amount of funding for programs United Way has $200,000 available for programs focusing on reducing poverty, reducing homelessness or ensuring children up to six years old succeed. This is more

than the organization has ever had available and is twice what was available last year.

Applications for priority grants can be found online at www. uwfv.bc.ca under the

What We Do section.

In March, United Way announced priority grants were distributed to nine local organizations for 11 different projects in the Fraser Valley. Projects

ranged from skills development for individuals living on the street to early child developmental screening to ensure children are ready to start school.

The increase in funds

is due to cost-cutting at United Way and a very successful 2013 fundraising campaign led by Robin Marshall and Bruce Howell.

“We are excited about this increase to

funding,” said board chair Tamara Van den Brink, “and we thank our United Way employees, the campaign cabinet and our generous donors for this opportunity to increase

priority grants.”

“We’re committed to providing services in all areas of the Fraser Valley. Projects will be funded in all four regions including Abbotsford, Cascade, Chilliwack and Mission,” said Wayne Green, executive director of United Way. “This funding is in addition to more than $200,000 distributed to local organizations to provide a safety net of services.”

For more information about United Way, go to www.uwfv.bc.ca.

The Royal Canadian Legion is holding a special barbecue in Abbotsford on Aug. 3 in support of the Military Police National Motorcycle Relay Ride.

The sixth annual ride is a charity event that spans 10,000 km across the country, starting in Victoria and ending in Gander, Nfld.

The ride will visit all of the major military establishments across Canada.

In the past five years the ride has raised more than $200,000 for children’s charities, including the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada and the Military Police Fund for Blind Children.

The barbecue will feature live music and run from noon to 3 p.m., and attendees can greet riders as they pass through. The cost is $10 per person at the Legion (2513 West Railway).

Jenner savours stint with Team Canada

WATER RESTRICTIONS JUNE 15 - SEPTEMBER 15

“Please don’t cut my hair too short.

Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

Abbotsford outfielder Chelsea Jenner served as an alternate for the Canadian senior women’s national softball team at the World Cup and the Canadian Open.

When she rejoins her softball teammates at San Jose State University this fall, Chelsea Jenner’s what-I-did-with-mysummer-vacation story is going to be awfully tough to top.

The 18-year-old outfielder spent the past three weeks with the Canadian senior women’s national team, joining the squad for the World Cup of Softball IX (July 7-13 in Irvine, Calif.) and the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship (July 17-21 in Surrey).

“They wanted to get me and a couple other younger players in to get us used to the program,” explained Jenner, who was one of three alternates on the 20-player roster. “My goal is to be a starter eventually, and I’m working towards that.”

In limited playing time, Jenner sparkled – she went 3-for-5 at the plate at the World Cup, including a starting-lineup assignment against the Philippines and brief appearances off the bench vs. Mexico and the United States. Canada won the silver medal at the World Cup, falling 5-2 to the U.S. in the final, and they picked up the bronze medal at the Canadian Open.

“It was just a little bit of action, but I was super-excited,” said Jenner, who got her first look with the senior national team in 2012 when she was called up to serve as a pinch-runner at the Canadian Open.

“It’s basically the highest you can go now. The training is more intense, and knowing you’re competing against the top athletes, it’s such a thrilling experience.

“It definitely makes me a better player, and it helps me for San Jose.”

Jenner is coming off a solid freshman season at NCAA Div. 1 San Jose State – she started 21 of the Spartans’ 40 games, hitting .225.

THE TERRY FOX RUN FOR CANCER RESEARCH

Cardinals toppled in tiebreaker Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Cardinals’ season ended in heartbreaking fashion on Tuesday, as they lost a tiebreaker game with a trip to the playoffs on the line.

The Cardinals and the Nanaimo Pirates had finished the B.C. Premier Baseball League regular season with matching 20-28 records, necessitating a nine-inning play-in game at a neutral field, Whalley Athletic Park in Surrey.

In a back-and-forth slugfest, Nanaimo hung on for a 7-6 win after weathering a basesloaded jam in the bottom of the ninth.

“The boys played their hearts out all game – it was probably

the best we’ve played all year,” fielders – first baseman Benji Cards coach Corey Eckstein said. Wieler went 4-for-5 at the plate, “But we couldn’t pull it off, while third baseman Matthew and it was kind of the story of Reston was 2-for-3 with a walk, the year.” two runs scored and an RBI.

LaFlamme found himself in a similar situation in the bottom of the ninth, with the bases juiced and two away. But Pirates pitcher Josh Burgmann got him to fly out to centre.

“He was on fire – he hit the ball hard all game,” Eckstein said of LaFlamme.

Eckstein noted his team’s season hinged on 17 one-run losses.

“Our pitching was outstanding, our defence was outstanding,” he said. “We had a lot of close games, and a lot of chances with runners in scoring position where we just couldn’t get that hit we needed.”

Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask! Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent.

Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home.

Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold.

This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-

served for the real estate agents and their clients.

This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home.

To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811.

This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.

Juulsen lands Team Canada tryout Abbotsford defenceman Noah Juulsen received some heady recognition recently, as he was invited to Hockey Canada’s U18 team selection camp.

The camp, to be held Aug. 2-5 in Calgary, brings together 44 players, half of whom will be picked for the Canadian entry at the U18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Juulsen is coming off a strong rookie season with the WHL’s Everett Silvertips, registering 10 points and a +12 rating in 59 regular-season games.

“It’s pretty exciting,” he said of the Hockey Canada training camp nod. “Hopefully I can make that team, but even in not, it’s something to build off of going into the year.”

"To be able to win any championship, you have to be dedicated and you have to have the passion to overcome everything.

And you have to commit.

"We just didn't have it."

After dropping the series opener 11-6 at home last Wednesday, the Rebels came through with a gritty 12-8 road win on Saturday behind hat tricks from Geordie Wells and Sean Kelly and 33 saves from goalie Matt Morehouse.

They carried that momentum into Sunday's Game 3, getting goals from Kelly (2), Brad Olson, Shaun McRae and Kevin Lemond to lead 5-1 after the opening frame.

The Capitals, though, responded with five straight goals, including three

by Leif Mydske, to seize a stunning 6-5 lead. The Rebels' Jordan Hernandez drew the hosts level midway through the third period, but Royal City's Jake Riha scored shortly thereafter and it held up as the game-winner.

"They just wanted it more than we did," Nishiyama analyzed.

"They're a hardworking young team and they don't give up.

"It's either, you put your foot on the gas pedal and go forward, or you put your foot on the brake and stop and let them run right over you. And that's what they did."

UFV women’s hoopsters sign three recruits After graduating five players from their national bronze medal-winning team, the University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball program has reeled in a trio of new recruits for the coming season.

Chantel Ewert, Danielle Vanbergen and Jenika Bannerman comprise the 2014-15 freshman class for the Cascades.

Ewert is a 6’2” guard/forward who recently completed her senior year at Terry Fox Secondary in Port Coquitlam.

She’s an alum of the Junior Cascades club program and the B.C. provincial team, and UFV head coach Al Tuchscherer called her “a very skilled basketball player with a unique skill set.

“You typically don’t see someone with her length have the skills and mindset to be a guard,” he said.

“She is a fantastic shooter, a great ball handler, and has a great understanding of the game. We first met Chantel back when she was in Grade 6 and all our coaches have been fans ever since.”

Vanbergen is a 5’7” guard out of Mark Isfeld Secondary in Courtenay.

“We don’t typically recruit in Courtenay, but people felt so strongly that she needed to be a Cascade that our

coaches went out of their way to take a look,” Tuchscherer said.

“We quickly became fans of her game and her attitude towards the game; we knew

Bannerman, a 5’11” guard from C h i l l i w a c k ’s G.W. Graham S e c o n d a r y, is a longtime Junior Cascade.

“She had a number of options coming out of G.W. Graham, and we are thrilled to have her,” Tuchscherer said.

“She is a fantastic athlete who played several sports at

a high level right up until her senior year. We feel that she has just begun to realize her potential as a basketball player and the sky is the limit for her when you com-

bine that with the work ethic she has shown since joining our program. She is already an elite defender and has a potent inside/outside offensive game.”

World records for Wolbers

Jon Wolbers of Abbotsford set a law and fire ageclass world record in the bench press at an event in Portland.

Abbotsford powerlifter Jon Wolbers turned in a pair of world record-setting performances at a competition in Portland last week.

The 66-year-old set new standards in the law and fire 64-plus category for both the bench press (358 pounds) and the deadlift (551 pounds) at the GLC 2000 National Championship.

Wolbers also picked up the best

lifter award across all age groups and weight classes, based on pounds lifted relative to body weight.

“Not bad for an old guy,” Wolbers said with a chuckle. “You wonder how long you can stay strong, but it’s still going well.”

Wolbers, a competitive lifter for 25 years, is prepping for the world championships in Las Vegas in November.

When Steven Sykorsky was a youngster, his grandpa told him that if he wanted to get stronger, he should start eating sardines.

Sykorsky has been eating the tiny fish ever since, and whether or not the sardines deserve the credit, he's certainly gotten strong.

The 30-year-old Special Olympics powerlifter from Abbotsford recently won his fourth straight gold medal at a provincial-level competition, winning the overall title in the 105 kg weight class at the B.C. Powerlifting Association provincials in Vancouver.

"It was a fierce competition," he said. "I made some lifts I didn't think I could make."

Sykorsky hoisted 220.5 pounds in the bench press, and 286.5 pounds in the deadlift en route to victory.

Warriors impress at provincials The Abbotsford Warriors peewee C lacrosse team brought home a bronze medal from the provincial championships in Richmond last week.

The Warriors went 2-1 in pool play with wins over Port Coquitlam and Penticton, which put them safely through to the semifinals, where they fell 8-1 to Saanich. The Abby squad bounced back in the third-place game, though, beating Shuswap 7-5. Jackson Lawrence was named a tournament all-star.

"The kids were awesome – they got better every time they stepped on the floor, and they deserved it," said Warriors coach Craig Campbell.

She remains passionate about her work with the hospice and anticipates the day the doors to the new hospice open in Abbotsford.

Keys says that whatever she does, she makes sure it’s an extension of who she is and what she

believes will contribute to making the community a better place.

“My work and my personal life all merge together,” she says. “I go to movies, I belong to a swim class, but I golf with my political and Rotary friends.”

Instead of “falling behind” because of her age, Keys keeps current with society’s changing norms. She uses Facebook and Twitter to keep her work relevant,

especially in the political realm.

“If there is anything I would like to leave behind, it would be to encourage people to participate in the electoral process, with a particular emphasis on young people.”

Her goal is to have a positive impact on the community of Abbotsford for many years, something that she says begins with being kind to everyone she encounters along the way.

I don’t want to be a burden… But I need your help This is part four in a series that addresses the universal sentiment that we don’t want to become a burden to those we love as we grow Sharon Simpson older. We’ve talked about the idea that requiring help doesn’t constitute a “burden”, that we all need assistance and that Jesus is eager to encounter us even when we are physically unable to care for our own needs. We also took a look at the very practical things we can do to “get our affairs in order”, such as drafting a will and appointing a power of attorney.

This month, we will take a look at the personal decisions you can make and practical steps you can take to ease the burden for your loved ones in an even greater way. We will also look at attitudes and perspectives that will help you to build bonds with those around you as you require their time and attention.

Pay for extra help This is a difficult decision for those who grew up in and around the Great Depression. For your entire life, you’ve survived and worked hard to accomplish what needs to be done. You’ve rarely pampered yourself and paying for assistance will seem like pampering to some of you. This can be especially difficult for women who have been ac-

complished at running their own household for decades.

You may need help in the area of house cleaning, meals, transportation, hygiene or toileting. Consider hiring someone to clean your home, purchase pre-cooked meals, hire a taxi to take you to appointments or a care provider to help you get going each morning.

What to do?

• Talk to your family about paying for assistance. Start off with a housekeeper or hiring a taxi to take you places.

• Buy yourself frozen meals and take a break from cooking • Contact an in-home nursing company and find out what kind of support they can provide in terms of hygiene, medical care or toileting.

• Do everything you can to prevent yourself from falling At some point, the greatest risk to your health comes in the form of a fall.

A bone break, especially a hip break can bring painful rehabilitation that requires a lot of support from those who love you. Avoiding a fall should become one of your highest priorities as you live in your elder years (80+). This means using a cane, walker, scooter or wheelchair to move from point A to point B. The saying, “pride comes before a fall” is MOST true among seniors. Don’t be too proud to use the equipment that will save you the agony of a fall.

What to do?

• Talk to your doctor about having an assessment done. An occupational therapist will help you to pick the correct style of walker that will suit your abilities the best.

• Get a Lifeline button to wear around your neck so that in the event that you do fall, someone will be contacted to help you.

• Downsize sooner, keep less stuff If you have ever had the thought, “This place is too big…I should move”, then you are ready to get a move on. If you aren’t ready to move, systematically start getting rid of your things. Gift them to family, donate to thrift. Take a photo of sentimental objects so that you can remember that time of life and the people that mean so much to you.

We bring our hear t to your home

A-LIST

What to do?

• Systematically go through all your rooms and closets and cupboards asking the question, “Is this something I need?” Gift your treasures to those you love. Take photos of them before you part with them.

• Prepare yourself that those around you may not love your things the same way that you do – this may cause you some sadness or anger. Remember that these treasures came into your life through times and circumstances that are very personal for you.

• After downsizing your possessions, label the remaining things for the individuals you will receive them after you are gone.

• Put your important stuff in a filing system.

Create a filing system that outlines everything that your family will need to know in order to support you with your finances, your health and your passing. Clearly label your insurance policies, your birth certificate, marriage certificate, SIN number, bills that you pay, your will, your POA agreement, your representation agreement, your MOST form, last year’s income tax, land titles, rental agreements and any other information that will help others make decisions and payments when you need their help. Don’t forget to include a duplicate set of keys for your home, car, properties and lock boxes.

There is a certain peace of mind for families when they know that the person they love is receiving delicious meals, seeing a wellness nurse, socializing in recreation and receiving additional supportive hygiene care. This frees up the family to really LOVE. They can bring the extras, enjoy the fun times and spend leisure time together. Instead of being a burden, you provide comfortable, joyful visits to those who love you – they can enjoy just being with you, instead of investing all of their energy in meeting your most basic needs.

What to learn about charities before making donations Nonprofit organizations rely heavily on donations in order to pay their operational costs and meet their missions. But with so many charities worthy of donations, prospective donors may find it difficult to narrow down their options and ultimately choose one charity worthy of their support.

While there is no formula prospective donors can use to determine which charity is most deserving of a donation, men and women can take steps to learn more about charities before making donations, and such knowledge can make the decision process a lot easier.

Resource allocation Many charities list lofty goals in their mission statements, but donors

nate to another charity.

External reviews Prospective donors can look for an objective review of a charity and its programs to determine if the organization is worthy of their donations.

Many charities have third party auditors review their operations and approaches, feeling that such audits provide valuable insight to staff and prospective donors alike. If external reviews from third parties are positive, then donors should feel more comfortable donating. Negative external reviews should raise a red flag.

Choosing a worthy charity can be a challenging process for prospective donors. Researching a charity’s background can make that decision much easier.

Get kids excited about gardening Many adults understand the joy of gardening, but gardening can be equally fun for children as well. While some adults may feel that certain children do not have the patience or perseverance to see plants grow from seeds to adulthood, selecting plants that are hardy and sprout quickly may be the key to igniting a love of gardening in children.

Choosing seeds that sprout quickly can hold the attention of children who are new to gardening. Many different plants fit this bill. Beans, peas, sunflower seeds, and bell pepper seeds are easy to start and germinate quickly. In addition, many leafy vegetables, such as chard, lettuce, spinach, and mustard, germinate in three to five days. Herbs, such as basil and parsley, also sprout fast. All of these plants are good options for introducing children to gardening, as each provides quick gratification.

To further interest children, it is a good idea

tainers and then served at mealtime. Kids can show pride in their accomplishments, especially if they have tangible results on the dinner plate.

Children who want to try something different can explore other types of plants. Aquatic plants, or those found at the pet store to grow in aquariums, can be easy to grow. They need little more than a container, fresh water and sunlight.

Cacti and other succulents are also fun to explore. These plants are quite hardy in that they can stand up to moderate abuse, such as failure to water frequently enough. The unique appearance of cacti make them interesting focal points for an indoor garden.

A love of gardening that’s fostered inside can also be explored outdoors. Set aside a plot of dirt where kids can sow their own seeds and tend to their own gardens. This hobby can help children learn patience and hard work while fostering an appreciation of nature.

Call on God and ask forgiveness for your sins I

f you’ve ever watched a TV crime show or discussed investigative procedure with a police officer, you’ll likely know about “search warrants” and how they can be used to help solve a case.

Authority for search warrants must be sought from a judge and they are not readily issued without sufficient indication that approval will provide needed evidence leading to a charge.

A police officer cannot enter a home – or business – without authorization and obtain evidence that can be used in court: it will be considered inadmissible.

In Canada, privacy and the sanctity of our home is valued and no one can enter our residence – with the possible exception of child protection services – without permission.

Even email messages cannot be intercepted without an ap-

propriate warrant.

Living a life that is transparent and consistent can be a challenge but it is not impossible.

The Bible speaks to this when it says, “For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the Earth that he may strongly support those whose heart is completely his.”

And this: “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.” In other words, when we ac-

knowledge God’s presence in our life we can begin to make the needed personal corrections in submission to him.

The Bible also says, “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Jesus, God’s only son – who was perfect – died on a cross, once and for all, so that you might be delivered from sin (all the bad things you’ve done).

Be encouraged! God’s love for

you is very personal: he understands your temptations and weaknesses but he will also deliver you from them – if you trust in him through Christ.

Don’t spend another day feeling defeated and anxious. Why not call on him and confess your sins?

Now would be the perfect time to begin your brand new life feeling clean and fulfilled!

the 5.7L Hemi V8 with 360hp, moving all that power to four wheels through an 8-speed automatic. City fuel economy can be frightening but I was surprised at how good this truck is, even when taking advantage of the new 120 km/h speed limit on the Coquihalla highway. The Durango put in a solid 11.8 L/100km, with more than 900 km driven. Keep in mind I didn’t soft foot my way to or from Kelowna. I did notice that the fuel economy improved vastly the closer I stayed to 100 km/h.

The handling is a bit top-heavy in the corners, especially at higher speeds, but after some initial body roll, the Durango is very stable. One notable feature is the automatic fantastic adaptive cruise control, making the ride very enjoyable.

Verdict If you drive in the city, the base 3.6L V6 engine might be a better choice based on fuel consumption but, if you drive a lot on the highway or tow a boat (3,265 kg towing capacity), the

Hemi is the right choice. Power was always there to pass and pull up a hill and the fuel economy can be good if the driver watches their speed. The V8 has the ability to switch off four of the eight cylinders when the truck is under light load and accessing this as often as possible makes a big difference.

Another thing to consider is price: the Durango is not inexpensive, starting at $39,995 for the V6 and running up to $52,495 for the top Citadel V8.

My family loved spending time in the Durango, we all had a lot of space and the trip was effortless. Our next adventure is to Portland, Oregon in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel. I can’t wait to see how that new truck compares.

Touring the Outback around The Rock But as I look over the rock wall of the historical landmark in St. John’s, Newfoundland, I don’t feel so far away. An iceberg presents itself in the distance, as the warm, morning sun lights up the Atlantic Ocean. The faint hum of a vessel’s engine drones away in the background.

To think, on December 12, 1901, the first transatlantic wireless signal was received

As I walk towards the allnew 2015 Subaru Outback, I realize that this vehicle is also making its own little history. Touted as the world’s first sport utility wagon, it’s now 20 years old and better than ever.

There’s an all-new exterior look, the interior is much more refined, there’s a vibrant gauge cluster, a new audio system, and around back, there’s a total of 1005L of cargo capacity (that’s up 33L from the 2014 model.)

There’s also a choice of two engines, a humble 2.5L, 4-cylinder with 175 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque, or a more potent 3.6L, 6-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque.

Furthermore, the Outback has incredible off-road capabilities, in case I needed to get to some hard-to-reach spots. With a ground clearance of 220mm – like the Forester and XV Crosstrek – it can tackle the trails without even breaking a sweat. Thanks to the X-Mode feature, it allows for even more traction in

The latter of the two engines is what powered me around “The Rock” – not to be confused with Dwayne Johnson, the actor and former WWE star – but Newfoundland.

With only a couple of days to figure out some adventures, time would be tight, but I’d enjoy each minute of it.

Complete with a hightorque Lineartronic CVT, I had the option to up and downshift through the Outback’s simulated gears, in case I needed to pass cars en route to my various adventures.

First: sea kayaking in Cape Broyle. Though the drive from downtown St. John’s is only about 66 kilometres, I’ve learned that giving yourself a little extra time when going anywhere is a good idea.

high-slip environments. This all-wheel drive vehicle is just as happy being on the road as it is playing in the puddles, mud or climbing rocks.

Another adventure that wasn’t as physically demanding took me to Ferryland. Established in 1621, this community south of St. John’s rests quaintly on the coast. While many clusters of homes do too, this one is particularly magical.

After parking, it’s about a one-kilometre walk until you reach a lighthouse. Not just any lighthouse, but one that serves picnic lunches so you and your loved ones can enjoy a meal while sitting on blankets, partaking of a sandwich prepared on freshly baked bread, sipping homemade lemonade and breathing in the natural beauty of the open ocean.

On to a higher paced adventure - sort of - was a stop in Brigus.

One particular bridge was on my mind. The one that competitors in the Targa Newfoundland race fly over. The sign says 10 km/h.

That’s not the case when drivers are blasting through the tiny waterfront community. But I wanted to be a part of the fun, even if I was at a complete standstill on the crossing.

A trip to Newfoundland wouldn’t be complete without at trip to Cape Spear, Canada’s easternmost point. Looking out into the Atlantic, another iceberg lazily floats by as the humpback whales are out and breathing. A cool ocean breeze blows the salty air around.

I could get used to this, along with the companionship of the 2015 Subaru Outback.

The 2015 Subaru Outback has a starting MSRP of $27,995.

Car smashes are the leading cause of accidental death among children in British Columbia.

According to government statistics, every year more than 1,300 children under nine are injured or killed. Putting that in scary perspective, that’s the equivalent of around five elementary schools.

It’s estimated that the proper use of child car safety seats reduces the risk of injury by a massive 85 per cent and death by 70 per cent. Very frightening then to contemplate that around five per cent of parents don’t put their children in seats and of those that do, more than half improperly install them.

It’s an issue to which I’m particularly attuned after the recent birth of my first grandson. I found myself grappling with a rear facing car seat – as legally required!

After a few bruised knuckles and bruised head from bashing it on the door frame, Francis was

installed safely, as was his seat.

For years, the BC Automobile Association Child Passenger Safety Program has provided solid information, resources and training to make ensure parents install these lifesavers correctly (www.bcaa.com/road-safety/ child-passenger-safety/overview).

Now Volvo has produced a fabulous safety manual called Children & Cars which is available free of charge at any Volvo dealership. It’s a thoughtful and fascinating text imaginatively illustrated throughout with photos of child crash test dummies dressed in trendy attire.

It was penned for Sweden but the text in the Canadian version has been adapted to reflect our laws. While it is required here that children under 12 months be placed in a rear-facing seat, it’s acceptable for children aged one to transfer to a forward facing seat. The Swedes take issue with that and say it’s better they stay in a rear-facing seat as long as possi-

ble, often beyond three years.

The booklet explains that a baby’s head is large and heavy in relation to the rest of its body but its neck is just not strong enough to deal with the forces that would rock it in a frontal collision. And a detailed diagram of how neck vertebrae develops sure bolsters that assertion. In fact, the author argues we probably all should travel backwards for safety’s sake!

This was a revelation: at a speed of just 40 km/h, a child that weighs only 30 kgs will suddenly weigh the equivalents of a tonne (1,000 kgs) in a collision. Imagine that baby as an unrestrained project . . . no don’t, it’s just too gruesome. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

trip that more enjoyable.

If you don’t own one then here a few things to know about them. A-frame tents are usually smaller and can sleep two or three. They have a screened door and a small-screened window.

Remember to close the door after entering or exiting or you will be sleeping with them. Most A-framed tents come with a fly, which is waterproof material to cover the outside of the tent. If you’re camping on the coast bring a heavy duty tarp to help with the rain.

Dome tents utilize flexible poles that provide a strong structure when completed and can withstand stronger winds. You can also have larger dome tents that can be separated into rooms.

Cabin style tents are much heavier but provide much more headroom and more space. The down side to these tents are they are heavy.

I recommend shopping around to see the tent that best fits your needs, remembering you need enough space for your family and gear. A sleeping pad or air mattress will help make a good sleeping bag feel more comfortable. Be sure to purchase one that is full length so you are not constantly rolling off during the night.

Preparing food is fun. For safety’s sake, make sure you set up your stove in a level area to avoid any mishaps. If it’s your first time then bring foods that are simple to prepare. A typical propane stove has two burners and a propane tank attached to the side.

Remember to bring lots of garbage bags so you can either take it home with you or use proper facilities at your campsite. Be sure to put your food away in your car preferably so as not to attract unwanted animals.

Clean the area before you go to give the next person the same experience you enjoyed. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

SIEMENS, Blanche Verna It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Doris Roberta Boris (Nee Ritchie) Doris was born in Edmonton on February 27th, 1934, passed away July 19, 2014 and was the youngest of three daughters born to Robert and Emma Ritchie.

SWARD Douglas Simon Sept. 1, 1940 ~ July 20, 2014

Born in Mission Hospital, passed away July 20th at the Palliative Care Abbotsford Hospital. Predeceased by his father Simon and mother Natalie and brother Daryl.

Doug is survived by his wife of 55 years Elaine (Kieler) Sward, sons James (Robyn) and Robert, daughter Kelley (Chet) Powell, grandchildren Linsay (Dave) Ogden, Brandon (Leah) Sward, Bryce Sward, Taylor Powell, Joey Powell, three great grandchildren, brother Ken (Ethel) Sward, many nieces and nephews.

Doug worked for the Bank of Nova Scotia (1958 - 1975), Winde Pacific (1975 - 1991), Savona Hotel (1991 - 1995), and at Shake & Shingle as a contract negotiator. He was a member of the Chilliwack & Mission Curling Club, Rotary (Chilliwack & Mission), Citizen on Patrol, Lions Savona. He loved fishing and hunting. A memorial service will be held August 2, 2014 at 1:00 pm at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, 32420 7th Ave., Mission. Pastor Alan Boerner, Reverend Gloria Kieler officiating. Refreshments to follow at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church.

If so desired donations may be made to the Cancer Foundation in memory of Doug Sward.

In 1936 the family moved to a small farm in Langley, BC, where she and her sisters Agnes and Jean, both pre-deceased, had a happy childhood, They enjoyed school and played on many community-sporting teams such as softball and badminton.

Doris was rewarded with the title “Miss Athlete� in recognition of her participation and fundraising for her teams.

In 1951 Doris married Raymond Alexander Boris, pre-deceased, and they moved to Chilliwack where they raised three daughters, Patty, Lynne and Garnell. Doris and Ray started a refrigerated trucking business and built it to one of the largest independently owned trucking companies in western Canada.

During the late 1960’s and early 1970’s Doris and Ray rekindled their childhood interest in horses, with interests in varying aspects of horses and riding. Their initial motivation may have been selfserving with three daughters, as Doris said “They are less likely to get in trouble on the back of a horse then in the back seat of a car�.

Their activities expanded beyond horse show participation for their daughters, to include racing thoroughbreds at Hastings Park in Vancouver, sponsoring chuck wagon racing in Calgary and winning the American Chuck Wagon Championship in Wyoming in 1973, and finally the Buggy Club in Chilliwack, which Doris supported for many years with her organizational skills. She helped plan many of their get togethers and reunions by coming up with fun activities and making great food.

Doris will be remembered for her joy of life, ready sense of humour, and sometimes wickedly funny one-liners.

She was immensely proud of her daughters and was a loving and devoted grandmother to Mindy, Bill and Karissa and to her great grandson Gavin. When her nieces and nephews needed love and support her heart opened for them too.

Doris’s family will be remembering her in a private service.

Donations can be made to her memory at the website of the Alzheimer’s Society of BC.

Mom was born Blanche Verna Schmor into the loving family of Herman and Nettie (Peters) Schmor in the small Mennonite town of Hepburn, Saskatchewan on August 16, 1925.

Mom was the fourth of seven children born to Herman and Nettie. Mom passed away on July 22, 2014 at the FW Green Home, Cranbrook.

merland, BC); grandchildren Corrie (Chris), Peter, Sarah (Wesley), Nathan (Jen), Allison (Andy) and Jennifer; and, great-granddaughters Isabella, Analeigh, Isla and Camryn.

Mom married the love of her life, Ruben Siemens (also a Hepburn boy), on September 30, 1944. After Dad was discharged from the Army, Mom and Dad moved to the Fraser Valley where Mom remained for the next 65 years. Mom’s three boys were born in BC – David (1947), Laird (1953) and Mark (1955). Mom moved to the FW Green Home in Cranbrook in 2011.

Mom loved much and was loved much – she loved her parents, sisters and brothers; she loved her nieces and nephews; Mom loved Ruben beyond measure; she loved her sons and especially loved the three daughters they brought into the family; Mom loved and reveled in her grandchildren and her great-granddaughters. Most of all, Mom loved her Lord, Jesus . . . and maybe that’s why we loved her so much. Thanks for everything, Mom.

Mom was a great mother and she was an even better mother-in-law. However, she was best at being a grandmother – playing in the sandbox with her grandchildren while she was still dressed in her Sunday church clothes.

Mom loved being Dad’s wife (they were planning their 50th wedding anniversary when Dad died), loved animals of all sorts especially horses and loved throwing parties for family and friends.

Mom was predeceased by her parents, by Dad in 1993 and by brother Marvin and sisters Pearl and Jennifer.

She is survived by: sons David and Mary (Behchoko, NT), Laird and Annalee (Cranbrook, BC) and Mark and Carol (Sum-

Mom is also survived by sister Grace and brothers Earl (Ruth) and Bob (Mary) and by Dad’s brother Milton (Anne).

The family thanks the staff at the Green Home for their tender loving care of Mom these past three years and especially these last few days – you were very kind and compassionate.

Your kindness to Mom and the family will never be forgotten.

Also, the family thanks all the musicians that came to play at the Green Home. Mom loved music and you made her final years enjoyable. A special thank you goes to Dr. Wanda Marlatt for taking such a special interest in Mom – your tenderness will never be forgotten.

Services in Cranbrook and Abbotsford will occur at a later date.

A different show every day WELCOME to “the best little country fair!” – It’s more than you think!!

On behalf of the Abbotsford Agrifair Board of Directors and staff, it is my great pleasure to invite you to one of the greatest and most beloved annual summer traditions for families in the Fraser Valley and beyond.

The Abbotsford Agrifair and Mighty Fraser Rodeo, returning for the 104th year on August 1-4, 2014, is a four-day, fun-filled event that bridges the gap between “urbanites” and “ruralites.”

Our goal with the fair has always been to execute an event that surpasses expectations and satisfies the diverse interests of the public with affordable fun for the entire family.

This year is no exception. With all the great shows, concerts and amazing attractions, it’s a different show every day!

Don’t miss a beat with our $15 all-weekend wristband, ERNIE SILVERI, PRESIDENT, and watch a ABBOTSFORD AGRIFAIR different show every day. Special must-see events include the Valley Voices Vocal Competition finals performances, Audio Adrenaline, the Demolition Derby, The Mighty Fraser Pro Rodeo, the Strathcona Mounted Troop and of course, the famous West Coast Amusement midway.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to the City of Abbotsford for its strong and continuous support, and thank you to our guests from all across the province and country, as well as our sponsors and committed volunteers.

To those who are coming back to take in all of the action of the fair again this year, and to the newcomers who will be joining the festivities for this first time, we can hardly wait to celebrate and make great memories with all of you.

t a u o See y

One of many action-packed family events at Agrifair Are you ready for an action-packed, full-contact, smashing show that will get your adrenaline pumping? Then the Demolition Derby at Agrifair is just the lively event for you and your family. Due to the huge success of this event last year, it’s back for another year of combat and we’ve added a second performance. The Demolition Derby will include a variety of races and wreckage for your entertainment.

In these high power races, drivers must out-manoeuver one another by racing forward, backward, around, or over top of multiple obstacles. Also returning this year is the mini van demolition race, which guarantees jaw-dropping entertainment. Kids will enjoy the high energy and huge collisions, while adults will appreciate the skillfulness and courage of these experienced drivers.

This has truly been a family affair for veteran of the Derby Ross Edwards. Ross

! r i a f Agri

began racing at 15 years old, and kept the tradition alive with his children, nephews and grandchildren all continuing to participate in the sport. “We have always placed a high priority on making the Demolition Derby a family fun event and ensuring that each fan out there is enjoying themselves,” said the retired racer. He guarantees this year’s event will include all of the same hitting, passing, slamming, banging and racing that fans have adored for years.

A number of Ross’ family members will be directly involved in the Demolition Derby this year, with some of the older generations racing in show and the younger ones helping with demonstrations. Ross’ grandchildren, although not racing at Agrifair, plus other children aged 5-16 of the Quarter Midget Class of racers, will be on-site to give motorsport demonstrations and bring more aware-

ness to the exciting sport.

During each show, children can look forward to prizes being distributed throughout the audience. Also, immediately after each Derby, spectators are welcome to come down to check out the cars and meet the brave and talented drivers. These driver will be happyto have their picture taken and answer any questions about the races and the sport.

In an exciting addition to this year’s Agrifair the Demolition Derby has moved out of the dirt-covered rodeo arena for the first time, and into its own paved stadium – the Capt’n Crunch Motorsports Arena.

The hour and a half show, sponsored by Playtime Chances Abbotsford Casino, will take place on Sunday and Monday at 3:00pm. Be sure to get there early to guarantee the best seats in the house!

Guaranteed fun with fair four-day pass – ONLY $15 at the gate

Strathcona Mounted Troop It’s fun for the entire family at Thunder Bowl, where everyone gathers daily to watch the 17 man musical ride, the Strathcona Mounted Troop. This talented group is based out of the Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Edmonton, the fascinating musical ride is comprised of three different portions: the cavalry drills, the mounted arms tent-pegging display and the musical ride itself. Witness an important part of Canadian history and enjoy a colourful, musical and active display with the Strathcona Mounted Troop’s truly exciting mixture of equine skill and military precision.

Comprised of horses and 17 Royal Canadian soldiers dressed in period uniform, the troops will perform a 45-minute musical ride, including a tent-pegging demonstration, each day throughout the

long weekend to commemorate their national military heritage and cavalry traditions. All elements are set to music, both contemporary country and rock as well as traditional military songs.

Today, All members of the Strathcona Mounted Troop are full-time serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces and are part of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians).

The Troop performs at every major Spruce Meadows tournament in a variety of roles including: musical ride performances, parades, vedettes, honour guards, and the escorting of various VIPs, including numerous Lieutenant Governors as well as the Chief of Defense Staff.

This regiment of cowboys and frontiersmen fought bravely on horseback in several small and bloody battles throughout the South African Boer War, with many members hired as scouts due to their background. As the Second World War approached in 1939, the Strathcona Mounted Troop were disbanded and replaced by heavy armored cavalry.

The Strathcona Mounted Troop originally formed by Donald Smith (Lord Strathcona and Mounted Royal) in the year 1900, was a regiment of cavalry consisting of Canadian cowboys and frontiersmen as well as members of the North West Mounted Police.

In order to preserve its history and keep tradition alive, the current ceremonial Strathcona Mounted Troop (formed in 1977) perform at various fairs and rodeos throughout the country each year.

With so much to see and do at this year’s Agrifair, a weekend pass is the solution to all of your BC Day long weekend entertainment needs.

Get creative with Lego and put your skills to the test Travel back in time at pioneer corner Dying to see what life was like in a simpler time? Then the Pioneer Corner at Agrifair is your ticket to a fun and educational experience.

You will be transported to a world where grain threshing, baling and sawing lumber were all in a day’s work. Both adults and children will find something of interest, whether it’s an interactive display or afternoon snack.

Back for the 15th consecutive year, members of the non-profit Fraser Valley Antique Farm Machinery Association will be on site to answer questions and provide a variety of informative displays.

These knowledgeable club members will be putting on demonstrations throughout the weekend on cream separation, rope making, seed grinding, and the always crowd pleasing lumber cutting

session with a beautifully restored vintage sawmill. The indoor demonstrations will take place at 12:30pm and 3:30pm, and outdoor demonstrations at 1:00pm and 4:00pm, every day throughout the fair. Also on display for the entire weekend will be restored heritage tractors, vintage gasoline engines and antique household items.

Taking place every day of the fair at 1:00pm, fairgoers can enjoy the Pioneer Corner’s parade, where the preserved tractors will strut their stuff and showoff their horsepower.

Also returning for its second triumphant year is the Kids’ Tractor Pull. Children 12 and under are welcome to hop onboard a tractor with other kids their age to race down a track using a pull system to manoeuver the machine. With

heats running daily from 11:00am6:00pm, there is plenty of opportunities to put on your game face and have a little fun.

Once you have satisfied your craving for an old-fashioned good time, stop by the Pioneer Corner coffee shop for an assortment of tasty beverages and sweets. After savoring freshly baked cinnamon buns and blueberry, cherry, apple and rhubarb pies, your trip back in time will be complete.

talent! I’m confident this will be another great year, with unique talent and great music,” said Ernie Silveri, Agrifair President.

This will be the sixth season Valley Voices has entertained at the Agrifair.

“Agrifair hosts a world-class outdoor stage, a relaxing, safe and exciting environment,” says Angela, “It’s a family-oriented audience, all of which provide the perfect setting for B.C.’s talented youth to compete in the final segment of VVVC.”

Six finalists have been selected from two categories, Junior (seven to 12 years) and Senior (13 to 18 years). The talented finalists are Jada Klein, Caitlin Canning, Nicki Meier, Madison Bell, Ruby Bruce and Jada McKenzie Moore.

“Our six finalists will perform two songs with a house band before a panel of expert judges and the audience,” said Angela Harris, with Fair Wend Entertainment Services. “The songs are selected by the finalists, ranging from a wide genre from Pop to R&B to Blues to Country.”

2014 is the most successful year to date for VVVC, when it comes to finding talent from all across the province, some of the most talented singers will be competing for the title. With the help of the audience reactions, the celebrity judges will choose this year’s star, based on their vocal skills, song choice, look, performance and audience reaction.

A special performance by last year’s winner, Kianna Marie, will kick off the final show at approximately 1:30pm on the concert stage where the six semi-finalists will sing off to a live band to win their category. Out of these only one will be crowned 2014’s Valley Voice. The winner will be announced at approximately 4:00pm August 4th.

With his extensive rodeo experience, knowledge of the sport and witty personality, Parsons will ensure there isn’t a dull moment.

Featuring some fiercely talented riders, this year’s Mighty Fraser Pro Rodeo at the Thunder Bowl will be full of action, excitement and fun for the entire family as gutsy cowboys and cowgirls square off to steal the spotlight.

The roster of intense competitors will have you on the edge of your seat as they battle it out for the title in rodeo sports including bull riding, ladies’ barrel racing, team roping, steer wrestling, tie down roping, bareback riding and saddle bronc. Patrons can expect to see top professional cowboys and cowgirls from all over Canada and the United States competing for the fastest times, biggest scores and best prize money.

It just isn’t the Mighty Fraser Rodeo without the fan-favourite rodeo clown JJ Harrison who will have the audience smiling ear to ear.

He’s smart and silly with a master’s degree in Education and a passion for comedy, he’s entertaining for adults and kids alike, so all guests will enjoy lots of laughs while cheering on the talented cowboys and cowgirls. Whether you’re an old hat or trying out a new pair of cowboy boots, you’re bound to have fun.

The rodeo clown is the perfect co-host to professional award-winning rodeo announcer, and former professional cowboy, Al Parsons.

“Being a rodeo cowboy, I know what it takes to bring enthusiasm and joy into the arena,” says Parsons. “The cowboys feel encouraged as they call for the gate or nod for their calf. The knowledge, dynamic, humorous speaking I bring will keep you smiling. Being happy and enthusiastic is always the best choice, and that’s what I give and bring to each rodeo.”

Rodeo Chair Don Curtis is also looking forward to this year’s thrilling events, revealing that “we have a great show planned this year, with lots of fun and excitement to be expected”. Curtis also explains that fairgoers will be able to see some of the top animals in the west. Stock contractor Big Stone Rodeo Company will be bringing out their most talented animals, who have competed in other monumental rodeos like the Calgary Stampede.

The Rodeo will take place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. Thanks to Phantom Screens, Rodeo seating is included in the price of gate admission. The cost to enter is $12 per day for adults, $10 per day for students and seniors. For the best bang for your buck, get the four-day weekend pass to experience three professional rodeo performances for just $15 per person. 10 and under are free.

Magnuson has a wheely cool show The exclusive Wheely Cool Show sponsored by Magnuson Ford is set to be the hottest spot at this year’s Abbotsford Agrifair. The Wheely Cool Show will host three themed exhibits: pre-1972 classics and hot rods on Saturday, Service on Safety on Sunday and Anything Cool on Wheels on Monday.

equipped rides. Don’t miss the Fire Department’s two “Jaws of Life” extraction demonstrations. You can also meet the talented bomb squad dogs on SOS day.

These friendly canines are trained to protect our community and help in the event of an emergency.

On Saturday, the area will feature some of the best custom-built cars, including pre-1972 classics and hot rods from dozens of proud collectors, and is already anticipating large crowds, especially with such huge prizes at stake. This dazzling display will appeal to both car enthusiasts and new fans alike. With a $1,000 first place People’s Choice Award, a second place $750 prize, and a third place $500 prize, this is not an event to be missed.

Wrapping up the Magnuson Wheely Cool Show will be the Anything Cool on Wheels spectacle on Monday, August 4th. This exhibit encompasses Vancouver Tumblebus, Science World, Library Live, Creative Cube, Fosters Street Team, custom built cars, a 50th anniversary tribute to Mustangs and much more. A special addition to this year’s Anything Cool on Wheels will be the feature car – a newly restored 1967 Ford Mustang T5, which is guaranteed to impress even the toughest critic.

On Sunday, fair attendees can look forward to the Service on Safety (SOS) Day, where Abbotsford Fire and Ambulance will be on site chatting and showing off their official rigs. This is your chance to thank our fearless community heroes and get a peak inside their well-

These beauties will definitely make you appreciate the challenge of maintaining vintage vehicles. With so much to offer on all four days, make sure to purchase a weekend pass at a reduced rate and don’t let this sensational car show opportunity slip away.

New Cone Zone tests your road safety skills A new and educational attraction to grace the Agrifair grounds this BC Day long weekend is the Cone Zone, a safely marked go-kart track where youth can put their driving skills to the test. Those ages 10-16 can attempt to expertly manoeuver their go-karts as they are guided through a road course with detoured areas, while avoiding traditional work zone hazards like trucks, cranes and cones. The younger children will be suited-up with all the coolest protective gear like hard helmets, safety vests and stop signs to get in the spirit of things. Adults too

can get involved in the fun by challenging themselves in a 3D work zone simulator.

The Cone Zone program was initiated by the Work Zone Safety Alliance with sponsorship from WorkSafeBC, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, and the Justice Institute of British Columbia, to educate the public on the dangers of working in roadside locations. Since 2004, there have been 239 injuries reported in actual roadside worksites, and 15 deaths. By publicizing these alarming statistics and providing a safe place to teach

youth proper driving techniques, the campaign is hoping to bring awareness to drivers to take every precaution when entering work zones in their vehicles.

With the motto “Cone Zone = Slow Down”, this informative attraction is sure to provide safe entertainment and ample amounts of fun during the fair. All are welcome to visit, as there will be demonstrations, activities and Cone Zone themed circuits that will appeal to current and future drivers of all ages.

Dance and sing along to chart-topping records by storm as this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. On February 9th, 1964, the Beatles, with their Edwardian suits and mop top haircuts, made their first American television appearance live on The Ed Sullivan Show.

A diverse selection of musical talent will take to Agrifair’s main stage this year. Tribute bands will have guests singing along to the standout hits of the 50s and 60s and British Columbia based group, Me and Mae, will bring their country vibe and killer vocals. Also, the Valley Voices Vocal Competition is returning to the Agrifair to celebrate Canada’s rising stars.

To kick off Friday evening, tribute concert by Totally Tom Petty and the Women of Rock - comprised of tributes to Deborah Harry of Blondie, Pat Benatar, Stevie Nicks and Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders - will entertain with an evening of nostalgia and excitement as some of the world’s greatest record-breaking songs are performed. Think Pat Benatar’s “Hit Me with your Best Shot,” Stevie Nicks’ “Gypsy,” Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” and much more.

Performing as Tom Petty, Phil Dunget is the host, lead guitarist and lead vocalist for Totally Tom Petty and the Women of Rock. He is a dynamic showman, powerful lead singer and master guitar shredder.

Accompanied by drummer Randal Von UuberGruuv, who is a percus-

A record setting 73 million people tuned in that evening making it one of the seminal moments in television history. Fifty years later, people still remember exactly where they were the night The Beatles stepped onto Ed Sullivan’s stage.

sive anchor and half of Totally Tom’s rhythm section, this duo, paired with the Women of Rock, make for a hit band that’ll have you dancing the night away.

Paying tribute to one of the most celebrated and legendary entertainers of all time, vocalist Steve “Elvis” Elliott will take the main stage on Saturday with iconic songs that’ll have you rockin’ to the beat. Steve Elliott has his Elvis impression down to a tee with the smooth voice and slick style that made the great rocker so recognizable in the 50s and 60s.

Steve will be crooning through the ballads and rockabilly hits, and is ready to shake things up at the fair.

Full of raw energy, witty humour and that undeniable charisma that took the Beatles from the Cavern Club in Liverpool and propelled them to super stardom, and performing at Agrifair on Saturday, the Fab Fourever, Canada’s Beatles tribute band, will transport you back to the 60s – a time when the music was a soundtrack to a generation.

It is the perfect time to kick back and enjoy tunes that took the world

Brought to you by Columbia Cabinets - Countertops and Fraserway RV, Audio Adrenaline, the popular Christian rock band, is making a much-anticipated appearance on Sunday. Formed in the 1980s at Kentucky Christian University in Grayson, Kentucky, this band has already received two Grammy Awards and multiple Dove Awards showing no sign of slowing down.

Don’t miss the final musical performance on Monday as the finalists of the Valley Voices Vocal competition take the stage. There will be six finalists that will be vying to please the crowd and win the votes of celebrity judges.

Dance the night away at the all new BARn If you’re 19 and over, pull on your cowboy boots and get ready to dance the evening away at the exciting new addition to Agrifair, the BARn, open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8pm to 1am.

Live entertainment will be provided by Appaloosa as the popular country classic rock band takes the stage nightly from 9pm to 1am.

This all-new entertainment feature will be held in the Agrifair Arena building at the Abbotsford Exhibition Park on the North East corner of the grounds. There will be a $10 cover charge upon entry.

This cost is not included in gate admission. Patrons must be on the fairgrounds by 10:00 pm to enter the BARn.

Lots of fun animal entertainment and educational opportunities at Agriland!

What does everyone want to see at the fair?

Animals of course! So be sure to spend some time at Agriland and check out the entertaining shows, educational demonstrations and 4H competitions!

More fun for the little ones This year, there are plenty of kid-friendly attractions to keep the youngsters busy.

Richard’s Racing Pigs and Ducks is returning once again to the Fair, where there will be three opportunities each day to catch all the action of the fun, feisty, lovable animals.

New to the scene, Bill Beaulieu, has a lot in store for the races. There will be two races per show, with faster and more adorable pigs in each heat. Millionaire Paintball and Mini-Golf also return providing the perfect opportunity for some family friendly competition. New this year is local talented face painter Jeannie Savard posing as a pirate with a 16-foot façade side of a pirate ship.

For those between the ages of 10 and 16, the Cone Zone Go-Kart circuit is a fun and

interactive road safety education initiative.

The themed go-kart circuit resembles a real-world roadside work zone. The next generation of young drivers get the unique and fun opportunity to test out their skills and get informed as they make their way through the course, passing life-sized road maintenance vehicles, equipment, cones, traffic control personnel, directions and more.

There’s no place better for kids to burn off some excess energy then the Tumblebus gym on wheels. This mobile gym is filled with fun equipment such as monkey bars, balance beam, trampoline, rings, zip line and much more. This kid-focused feature offers parents a quick break while their kids

use up their energy learning new tumbling moves. Tumblebus is for walking toddlers and children up to 9 years old.

The fun and hilarious character Chuck n Chicken will be roaming the fairgrounds.

Elvis’s distant cousin, Elmo Presley will also be onsite throughout the fair. Visitors can count on running into these roving comedians, putting on a show of hilarious jokes, songs and gags all weekend long. Also be sure not to miss out on Mike the Reptile Guy from the Rescue and Education Centre in Abbotsford who will be bringing along some interesting critters from his collection of snakes, lizards, turtles and amphibians.

He will also be doing educational seminars three times daily in the Marketplace.

“Rabbit Agility” is a must-see on Saturday, August 2rd and Sunday, August 3th as well-trained bunnies hop over appropriately-sized obstacles with direction from their enthusiastic handlers.

There are loads of opportunities to learn about animals as demonstrations, including horseshoeing, sheep shearing, rabbit agility, Mobile Dairy Classroom cow milking and rabbit handling, take place throughout all four days.

Watch baby chicks hatch right before your eyes inside an incubator in the Poultry Barn! You will also see many different varieties of chickens, ducks, geese and pigeons. If you are excited to witness eggs turn to chicks, you will also want to check out the different stages of growth in the BC Poultry in Motion Barn. See the difference between one day old chicks, 4-8 week old chicks and adult breeders.

There is lots to see and lots to do at Agriland so be sure to stop by and spend some time with all the farm animals, learn about them and at the same time enjoy some fun entertainment!

See what’s cookin’ with Chef Dez

Horses of all shapes & sizes!

The fair also offers the opportunity for breeders, farmers, and horse lovers from all over to take part in a variety of competitions. Exhibitors will display and show their animals for the duration of the fair! Classes include the Open Horse Pleasure Driving and Versatility Driving which can be seen in the Agrifair Arena on Sunday at 10:30am!

The “Dogwood Donkey Show” and “Miniature Horse Show” display a wide variety of skills including inhand competitions where animals are tested on their ability to manoeuver through and over various obstacles.

They will encounter bridges, tarps (simulating water obstacles) and tippy boards being judged on the animal’s willingness to go through the obstacles. Each obstacle is judged out of 10. The highest score overall wins!

Other fun entertainment includes the “Country Horse Classic” in the

Agrifair Arena between 1:00pm and 4:00pm daily including the prestigious “Six Horse Hitch”!

Feel the earth rumble as teams of massive and majestic Clydesdale and Belgian draft horses stomp into the arena pulling large, heavy wagons in the “Six-Horse Hitch”. This event is the most prestigious draft horse event on the continent! Teams will be judged on their horses, harness, wagon, driver, performance and overall eye appeal.

Another can’t miss event is the “Draft Horse Pull” - an event where teams of draft horses pull weighted sleds around the arena. The weight is gradually increased and the team which pulls the heaviest amount is the winner.

Have you ever heard of “Campfire, Dinner Bell or Wheelbarrow” races? If you have you’ll know how entertaining they are and if you

haven’t you need to come and see for yourself.

In the “Campfire Race”, two heats of 4 riders on horses will book it from one end of the arena to the other. Then they must jump off their steed, take all the tack off and scramble into a sleeping bag! Whoever is the quickest is the winner.

The “Wheelbarrow Races” are like chariot races, but instead of a chariot, horses will pull a one-wheeled wheelbarrow with a cowboy inside holding the reins. They will race around the arena. The first team across the finish line wins.

Lastly, be sure not to miss the “Horse and Hound” competition! The arena will be set up in multiple obstacles in which one after another handlers will bring their horses and hounds through. This timed event is sure to get everyone excited! Make sure to be there to cheer on your favourite pair!

Learn how to cook gourmet dishes from professional Chef Dez, a certified Red Seal chef, who will be performing a fun, informative and high-energy series of fifteen live cooking shows at the outdoor cooking stage over the long weekend along with special guest chefs.

As always, the shows will be full of enthusiasm and will give you some great ideas to transform your meals at home.

Chef Dez will be cooking up a storm with local ingredients and mouth-watering dishes including Creole halibut BBQ pouches, fiery Asian grilled pork chops, Greek lamb burgers, grilled Philly cheesesteaks, Mediterranean pasta with grilled chicken and pineapple muesli yogurt parfaits. Recipes will be available for guests to take home.

This is Chef Dez’s 11th year at Agrifair, and he never disappoints. His passion for people

and food makes his shows entertaining, enjoyable and educational. Inspiring people to be a little more adventurous with their food choices and cooking styles, Chef Dez urges guests to participate and learn from him.

“One of the most wonderfully appealing aspects of food is creating, and eating, something completely delicious,” he says. “Even if you are not the culinary type that craves to unleash your cooking talents in the kitchen, you are still capable of appreciating a recipe just by tasting it.”

Chef Dez will be putting on four shows daily on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and three shows on Monday. Make sure you stop by and see what’s cookin’! Look for him on the upper level between the Tradeshow building and Pioneer Corner.
