Hope for Zach
Family and friends rally around local teen after tragic accident Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Zach Den Uyl, 16, and three buddies were hanging out at a friend’s house on the evening of July 11 in Abbotsford when the group decided to go for a swim in the aboveground pool on the property. They raced outside, and Zach, determined to be the first one in the water, quickly climbed the ladder and dove head-first into the pool, not more than about four feet deep.
His friends could hear the thud of his head as it hit the bottom of the pool with the full weight of his body. Zach floated face-down to the surface, and he was not moving. His friends immediately jumped into the water and turned him over. Zach was still conscious and thanked them for saving him. He had tried to turn himself over, but he couldn’t move his limbs. His friends pulled him to the side of the
pool and out of the water, while one ran into the home to get help. Now, five weeks later, Zach remains in hospital, facing an uncertain future, but one with hope and strong support from family and friends. A trust fund has been set up to help with his potential future needs, whatever those may be. The accident shattered the front side of Continued on A5

Tim Felger granted oral hearing by Supreme Court of Canada Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
After having previously been acquitted of drug charges in Abbotsford, pot activist Tim Felger doesn’t think he should have to undergo a new trial. The Supreme Court of Canada on Thursday granted an oral hearing for Felger to argue why an appeal should proceed on a decision made in January by the B.C. Court of Appeal, which set aside his 2012 acquittal. A date for the oral hearing has not been set. Felger was acquitted in December 2012 of seven charges – six counts of trafficking in marijuana and one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking – that were laid in 2009 in relation to his former Da Kine store on Essendene Avenue in Abbotsford. Felger’s lawyer had argued that police had trespassed on Felger’s property by ignoring signs he had posted that stated “no police officers allowed in the store without a warrant.� Court documents indicated that undercover officers

Felger in May 2009. At Felger’s first trial, Justice Brian Joyce ruled that Felger’s charter rights had been breached and that evidence gathered at his store was not
admissible in court, leading to all charges being thrown out. Crown counsel appealed the acquittal, with the three judges on the B.C. Court of Appeal panel in agreement that although the charter provides a “reasonable expectation of privacy,� the sign did not entitle Felger to those privacy rights. They overturned the acquittal and granted a new trial, which has been tentatively scheduled for next May. The decision also resulted in a new trial for Felger’s co-accused Natasha Healy, who had been acquitted of three charges of trafficking in marijuana. She, too, has been granted an oral hearing in the Supreme Court of Canada. Felger also went on trial for drug charges in Mission and had most of those charges thrown out in court in May 2013, because the judge ruled that his charter rights had been breached by police. That matter is still before the courts, with a trial proceeding on adapted charges to reflect the judge’s ruling on the inadmissibility of some of the evidence.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) saw a 54 per cent increase in the number of firearm seizures in the Pacific region from April 1 to June 30 this year, compared to the same period in 2013. There were 37 such seizures in 2014, compared to 24 the previous year, according to the CBSA. Among the more notable seizures was one at the Abbotsford-Huntingdon border crossing on May 30, when a U.S. resident was seeking entry into Canada. The primary officer asked if there were any firearms or weapons in the vehicle and the driver declared three
long guns. During a routine secondary examination, officers located a pistol from the bottom of a blue bin in the middle of the vehicle. In an incident at the Pacific Highway border crossing on June 12, a driver seeking entry into Canada declared he had 16 long guns. Upon further inspection, officers discovered five non-declared restricted handguns. Of the 37 seizures, CBSA has laid 15 charges against 17 individuals, with more possible charges to come. The CBSA welcomes all tips on suspicious cross-border activity; call the Border Watch toll-free Line at 1-888-5029060 with any information.

Loan outlet led to major fraud Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
Seventeen years after the Little Loan Shoppe opened its doors in an Abbotsford strip mall, the now-defunct business’s proprietor is facing decades in jail after pleading guilty to 110 criminal charges in connection with a massive Ponzi scheme. Doris Nelson, a former Mission resident who now lives in Spokane, Wash., pleaded guilty earlier this year to 110 criminal charges in connection with an investment scheme she ran for more than eight years. An attempt to cancel the plea was denied in late July. Nelson raised about $137 million from at least 650 investors from around the world. The U.S. government considers $35 million of that total “gross proceeds” obtained through the use of wire fraud, mail fraud and money laundering. Now, as Nelson awaits sentencing, American officials want that money back – even though Nelson’s company Little Loan Shoppe, filed for bankruptcy in 2009. Mission lawyer Gordon Ruley said Nelson was a client of his for many years. “I just wouldn’t have expected it from her,” said Ruley, who said he knows of at least four people in Mission who
lost money in the scheme, including two who are his clients. One of his clients invested $1.5 million, while another put in hundreds of thousands. When asked about the possibility of them receiving any money, he said the chances were “zero.” Nelson opened her first Little Loan Shoppe on South
begun taking telephone loan applications from Canadians. She expanded the business to the Internet in 2006, according to an American bankruptcy court filing. The Ponzi scheme began in 1999, when Nelson first started using money from new and existing investors to pay for annual returns as high as 75 per cent, according to the

U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation Fraser Way in Abbotsford in 1997. By 1999, she was collecting money from investors to open stores in Maple Ridge and Chilliwack. A Little Loan Shoppe was located on First Avenue in Mission starting in 1997, according to District of Mission business licence records, although that particular location isn’t mentioned in American court filings. Nelson moved to the United States with her new husband in 2001. By the time she closed her Lower Mainland loan shops in the early 2000s, Nelson had
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Nelson said the money came from the store’s profits. But the businesses weren’t making money, according to the FBI. “In contrast to her consistent representations, Nelson was operating a massive Ponzi scheme where investors’ individual returns were paid using their own investments or money paid by other investors,” the FBI said. During the scheme, Nelson withdrew about $4.3 million
of investor money and “funded a lavish lifestyle for herself and her family,” the FBI said. She spent $223,000 in upscale clothing stores in Las Vegas, Nevada, New York, Honolulu and Beverley Hills. She also lost more than $1.3 million gambling in Las Vegas. The scheme began to collapse in 2008 and the Little Loan Shoppe was forced into bankruptcy the next year. Nelson pleaded guilty in April, after rejecting a plea agreement. She later asked to retract the pleas, but a judge ruled against her in late July. The Spokesman-Review newspaper said an initial plea agreement would have sent Nelson to prison for 10 years. The newspaper said Nelson turned that deal down, but returned to prosecutors several months later, by which time the deal had been raised to 30 years. Meanwhile, the American government is trying to take possession of money, vehicles – including a Mercedes-Benz, a Corvette, a Crownline boat and three snowmobiles – and more than 100 pieces of jewelry seized in 2010. The jewelry includes dozens of gold and diamond pieces, ranging from a 34-inch 18-karat gold designer necklace with diamonds, to an 18-karat white gold Rolex.

City project aims to discourage beaver presence Abbotsford News
As beavers continue to pose a threat by damming up culverts and other waterways, the municipality is running a trial project off King Road to stop flooding without resorting to trapping the bucktoothed builders. Beavers have been in the project area for a couple of years and have caused flooding by building their dams. A couple of months ago the city of Abbotsford approved the installation of pond levelers, which are pipes that run through the beaver’s dam to drain the pond. The device is used to trick beavers into thinking there is a breach in the dam. When the beaver is unable to figure out how to keep the water in, the intent is that it will move on to a new area. City staff say the efforts are working well and the pond is at a comfortable level, with no threat of flooding downstream. But staff say there is a beaver still attempting to fix the problem in the dam and is being monitored until it decides to vacate. The project was started at the suggestion

Beavers have caused flood damage through their dam construction. and assistance of the Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals (APFA). The organization made a presentation on alternatives to trapping in Abbotsford last year after a coyote was discovered caught in a leg-hold trap in March. The animal was gruesomely injured and eventually put down. The act was con-
demned by APFA, as well as the BC Trappers Association, which said such cases are usually due to inexperienced or unlicensed trappers. Though that incident was not due to a city trap, in the past, Abbotsford has hired provincially licensed trappers to remove beavers from flooded areas. APFA offered to help Abbotsford implement measures to address the problem of beavers without trapping. APFA volunteers check on the new water flow devices and freely consult with municipalities, farmers, and other groups on non-lethal, long-term methods of managing animal populations, including beavers, coyotes, and raccoons. A city spokesperson said the pond leveler is initially inexpensive to set up – less than $1,000 – but costs could add up. If the beaver continues to add material to the dam as water levels drop, engineering may have to send crews more frequently to remove debris, but at this time the city is unable to quantify the cost difference between traditional methods of trapping and removing dams and the new method.

With potential growth in Canada’s aerospace sector expected to surpass 2013’s direct revenues of $25.1 billion, Marshall determined a formal presence was required to capitalize on new opportunities. “Our business has grown substantially in Canada in recent years, because we deliver on our promises
and our customers can trust us,” said Derek Gilmour, president of Marshall Aerospace Canada. “This investment is a testament to the hard work of the team and I would like to thank our customers for their continued patronage, and we are excited about the new projects that we will be working on that will represent the
broader capabilities of Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group here in Canada.” The new office can accommodate up to 35 personnel, the majority of which will be engineers and technical staff. Currently, Marshall supports more than 10 air forces around the world. Abbotsford mayor Bruce Banman said the city welcomes the company to its new facility at the airport. “City council is committed to supporting the growth of the aerospace industry in Abbotsford and seeing an international player like Marshall put down roots here will surely enhance the success of our local industry.”

Agreements allow sales to public Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
Commercial and First Nations fishers have begun catching sockeye on the Fraser this week, and the salmon are already making their way onto local dinner plates. After a three-hour commercial fishery on Monday, First Nation fishermen and women got their first crack at catching sockeye they could sell Wednesday evening, during a 24-hour set net fishery. There was also a drift net fishery from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sto:lo Tribal Council fisheries advisor Ernie Crey said Thursday morning “catches are up in the general area of Mission and Abbotsford” through the first hours of the fishery. Full counts were not available by press time. Local Sto:lo bands had already had three fisheries during which they could catch salmon for food, social and ceremonial purposes. This week, though, was the first “economic opportunity” fishery. The fisheries fall under the purview of comprehensive fishing agreements. The deals let First Nations fishers sell fish they catch to the general public. On Wednesday, fish caught

First Nations fishers were out on the water for an economic opportunity fishery Wednesday and Thursday. by commercial fishers were available for sale at roadside stands. The native-operated stands were expected to start operating around the Fraser Valley as early as Thursday. Sumas First Nation councillor Murray Ned was out on the Fraser Wednesday evening. He expected to be selling fish at his Whatcom Road stand the next day. Prices will vary around the Valley. Ned said he expected to charge $15 for an ungutted sockeye, while one commercial-operated stand was selling gutted salmon for $25. Ned said there’s both excite-
ment and some anxiety for the opening. “Our community has been anticipating this since 2010,” he said. Sockeye play a key role in Sto:lo culture, but they’ve also long been integral to the economies of local First Nations, he noted. “Historically we’ve always bartered and traded with other First Nations, and when the Hudson Bay Company came in there was that opportunity to trade. “Today, it’s a little different. It’s extremely important to community members. We

Farm changes a great leap forward Tom
Fletcher
B.C. Views The B.C. government’s intentions for the Agricultural Land Reserve have been clarified by a public consultation that proposes new commercial and industrial uses on farmland. Political watchers may recall that this was the hill the NDP was prepared to die on this spring. It was going to be a farmland looting spree for right-wing property developers and all hope of “food security” would be dashed. As I attempted to explain at the time, the changes have little or nothing to do with ALR exclusions. Now a discussion paper poses a series of questions, some of which illustrate the need to bring farmland regulations up to date. The first one deals with restrictions on retail sales, a case study in arbitrary state control. There is a strict maximum floor space. A minimum one half of retail sales
must be produced on that farm. Food packing, preparation and processing are similarly restricted. This requires multiple duplicate operations of questionable viability. It brings to mind Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap Forward, where farmers all had little iron smelting furnaces out back to make tools. But I digress. “Amongst other things,” the discussion paper says, “lessening the restrictions on on-farm processing could allow the establishment of abbatoirs (large, small or mobile) on farms, to serve surrounding cattle, game or poultry farms.” Then there’s cheese, fruit juice and even medical marijuana products. And did you know that wineries and cideries are allowed on farmland but breweries, distilleries and meaderies aren’t? (Mead is made from honey, and doesn’t have to be drunk from a bronze mug while wearing a horned helmet.)
Now that we’ve discovered that breweries don’t have to be giant urban industrial plants producing mediocre lager that all tastes the same, possibilities abound. On-farm wine and cider sales have similarly quaint retail space and product origin restrictions. The government proposes to allow sales of products not made on site, as long as they’re made in B.C. This could make more local retail beverage coops viable. Or it could spawn a wave of unregulated rural liquor stores that create chaos on country roads. You decide. On a more serious note, there are a couple of questions about changes to the newly created “zone two,” the Interior, Kootenay and North regions. One repeats the government’s intention to open up non-farm use rules to allow certain oil and gas service functions on farmland. This is to reflect the reality already on the ground in the Northeast. What other non-farm activities it may entail is not yet known, as the con-
Now that we’ve discovered that breweries don’t have to be giant urban industrial plants producing mediocre lager that all tastes the same, possibilities abound
sultation and regional meetings continue until Aug. 22. There are proposals to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for certain kinds of farmland subdivision in zone two. These are where the subdivided parcels are a quarter section (160 acres) or bigger, or where they are divided by a road or waterway. And finally there are proposed exemptions from ALC scrutiny of leases, to allow “intergenerational transfer,” so retiring farmers don’t have to plead for state permission to remain on their own property. Another exemption would “encourage the use of otherwise unfarmed land by existing or new farmers.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham, who circulated a photo of herself with a samurai sword in a theatrical “Kill Bill 24” campaign, continues to insist that these changes open up 90 per cent of ALR land for “development.” It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery.

Re: Tax rebate for parents so children can attend private school, Aug. 6 edition. This is to address the $40-per-day rebate the government plans to give to prolong the teachers’ strike. What the government is promoting is separation between the haves and have nots. The biggest difference between private schools and public schools is the private schools do not have to take special needs students. The other difference is the funding. So the government is promoting the elite and shirking its responsibility to care for special needs students. Many years ago there were special classes for students with special needs. Then it was decided that these students were being excluded and they were integrated into
regular classes with support. Now those aides have been drastically cut. Special needs students no longer receive the education they deserve and other students cannot get a proper eduction because of the extra time spent trying to deal with special needs students. It is an impossible situation created by the government withdrawing funding. It is not the class size that needs addressing as much as the class composition of special needs students. So how does the $40 a day help or hinder bargaining? It doesn’t. It appeals to those who don’t really understand the problem and helps to continue the strike. So for a part of this school year letter writer Kevin Simoe will enrol his children in private school and
then the strike will be settled. Then where is he at? He can continue the private schooling for his children and be in debt or return to the public schools. The $40 funding will not continue. He will support the lack of education for special needs students and think only of his own children. Twice the courts have told the B.C. government they were breaking the law with the teachers’ contract and twice they have ignored the courts. We have a government that believes they are above the law and our taxes support this ridiculous situation. Now the government is definitely not bargaining in good faith. Please remember this when you vote again. Judy Teague Abbotsford

Propane cannons an archaic and cheap bird deterrent
Re: Government: wake up and hear the cannons, Aug. 1 edition. I just read your article and I thought I would share my experiences with you. I lived on five acres of land on 232 street in Langley, building a new house there in 1972. Things were quiet for many years until the blueberry farmers moved in. The cannon noise was insufferable, starting at sunrise and continuing until sunset every day during the summer and even into early fall. Neighbours banded together and formed a group to fight the noise pollution. We picketed John van Dongen’s office and eventually got a sitdown meeting with him. We had a forceful presentation and he agreed to slightly increase the time between the blasts, but wouldn’t reduce their hours. We kept doggedly protesting for more than two years but accomplished little. Even when we won a complaint against a farmer before the Farm Practices Board, they did not enforce restrictions on the farmer. The Right to Farm legislation was powerful and lopsidedly in favour of the farmers, so we had little success curtailing the cannons. Finally, in frustration, I sold my property in 2002 and moved to Ocean Park. Since that time another 100 acres of blueberries were planted in land near my old home – with cannons, of course – so my decision to move was the right one. Currently, I faintly hear cannons from Delta, below Panorama Ridge. More blueberry fields have been planted there recently. Residents of the Ridge must be
very upset. In conclusion, good luck with your protests. Cannons are a
primitive means of bird deterrent, but they are cheap, so the farmers will want
to continue using them to maximize their profits, and be dammed with their
neighbours. They will just tell people to move, or to lodge a com-
plaint with the Farm Practices board, which will do nothing. So much for de-
mocracy and the power of the people. David W. Swetnam White Rock

Back-To-School for skateboarders
Replay Board Shop in Abbotsford has collaborated with B.C. skateboard group OneAreaCode to send a local kid back to school with a care pack valued at more than $1,600, consisting of enough shoes, clothing and school supplies to see a child confident, warm and prepared for the winter. Since 2012, Replay has been hosting programs by OneAreaCode, whose mission is to support the educational, physical and mental well-being of the school-aged skateboard community. Ten B.C. board shops which host OneAreaCode programs will receive a care pack for a young skateboarder from their community for a child in need. B.C. has a child poverty rate of 18.9 per cent, making it the highest in Canada. There are also 49 per cent of single mothers living below Canada’s low-income cut-off, with 67 per cent of young skateboarders coming from single-mother families. Randy Monchalin, from Replay, explained that with skateboarding being a non-organized sport, parents can’t look to existing sports programs that make equipment and participation accessible for marginalized young people. To apply for a “back-to-school” pack, or to donate, visit oneareacode.com.

Rally being held at Mill Lake Park to ‘improve birth’
Seventh annual event on Oct. 18 Volunteers are needed for the seventh annual Abbotsford Connect event on Saturday, Oct. 18. The event takes place from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Sevenoaks Alliance Church. Abbotsford Connect brings together service providers, local businesses, community and provincial agencies, and faith-based organizations to deliver services and support to people experiencing homelessness and to those who are at risk of being homeless. These services include foot care, haircuts, vision tests, outreach and advocacy support, a clothing exchange, and mentalhealth and wellness services. Last year’s event attracted more than 300 participants, more than 30 service providers and a team of individual donors and sponsor agencies. Volunteer opportunities at the event include hosts, registration, breakfast and lunch servers, runners and floaters, hairstylists, clothing exchange volunteers, and information and resource volunteers.

ICBC to send $38M in overcharge refunds Jeff NAGEL Black Press
ICBC is preparing to mail out 309,000 refund cheques ranging from $1 to $350 to optional auto insurance customers it overcharged since 2008. Wrong rates were used because of incorrect descriptions assigned years ago to many vehicles that are only now being fixed. The average customer who overpaid all six years will get a refund of around $108, ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said. The cheques will begin to go out around Aug. 20. The average overpayment was $18 per year. The refunds plus interest being paid total nearly $38 million. Nearly 370,000 other motorists were undercharged because of the glitches. ICBC won’t go after them for the $53 million in lost revenue. The faulty vehicle descriptions affected only optional insurance, not basic rates. The refunds were calculated as part of two independent external reviews that checked millions of insurance transactions over the past six years. Auditors who examined ICBC’s handling of the
issue concluded ICBC knew the problem was systemic as early as 2009 but management hid it from ICBC’s board of directors until mid-2013. Various fixes were contemplated but discarded, according to the auditors’ report. ICBC managers feared a solution might harm its relationship with brokers and that disclosure of inaccurate pricing would hurt ICBC’s business position against optional insurance competitors. The corporation ultimately opted to fix the errors and issue refunds as part of its sweeping $400-million technology upgrade program. The long-running overcharges were finally made public in April by Transportation Minister Todd Stone – only after he was directly questioned by the media. ICBC’s board had intended to wait until it had a refund strategy ready to roll out. Customers renewing their auto insurance since July have been required to update their vehicle’s descriptions, Grossman said. The error isn’t expected to recur because ICBC’s modernized system will pull the correct description from the vehicle identification numbers, instead of being entered manually by Autoplan agents.

The B.C. government has expanded its program to offer coupons worth $15 a week for farm market produce to pregnant women, seniors and low-income families who take a nutrition course. Health Minister Terry Lake announced on the weekend that an additional $750,000 has been added to the program for its third year of province-wide operation, in addition to $4 million provided in 2012 and 2013. The program runs July through October, as harvest comes off local farms. It is administered by the B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets. Participants take a free nutrition and skills program that includes cooking, canning and preserving, and are issued weekly coupons that can be used like cash at participating farm markets to buy locally grown fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, dairy products, nuts and herbs.
The program expanded this year bringing it to a total of 49 markets around the province – including Abbotsford and Mission – taking part. They are teamed with local social service agencies that offer the courses. Lake said the program helps people make a transition to a healthier diet that lessens their risk for chronic diseases, while increasing the customer base for local farmers who sell directly to the public. The nutrition coupon program began as a pilot in 2007, funded by the social services ministry. Its goal for this year is to support 10,000 people. Local markets: • Abbotsford Farm and Country Market Runs Saturdays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the corner of Montrose Avenue at George Ferguson Way. • Mission City Farmers Market Runs Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Mission Library parking lot on Second Avenue.

Consultation sheds light on farmland changes Black Press
Since commercial production of wine or cider is allowed on farmland, why not a brewery, distillery or meadery? Should energy cogeneration be allowed on farms, using manure or other biodegradable waste to produce methane gas and carbon dioxide? These are some of the questions included in the B.C. government’s consultation on changes to Agricultural Land Reserve regulations, released this week. Others deal with controversial proposals to allow specified non-farm uses, secondary residences and subdivisions without permission from the Agricultural Land Commission. Developed after consultation with the B.C. Agriculture Council, local governments and the commission, the 11 questions offer more detail on changes the government is considering under legislation passed despite protests this spring. The legislation divided the ALR into two zones, to permit more flexibility in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions (Zone 2) where both agriculture revenue and development
pressure are lower. One question asks whether farmland in all of Zone 2 should be able to be subdivided down to a minimum of a quarter section (65 hectares) without application to the ALC, as is now allowed in the Peace River and Northern Rockies Regional Districts in northeast B.C. Another proposal is to allow subdivision without ALC approval where farmland is divided by a major waterway or highway, subject to a minimum size. The province is also considering relaxing lease rules, which currently permit leasing of an entire farm property without ALC approval. The consultation asks if a portion of property should be allowed for lease to permit “intergenerational transfer,” where farmers retire on a portion of their land so their children can continue to farm the rest. Another proposal for partial lease without ALC approval would allow unfarmed land to be brought into production. The partial leases would not require a formal subdivision. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has emphasized that changes to the ALR are designed to support farming, not erode
the protected agricultural land base. Public input is being accepted until Aug.

Mission musician performs from 6 to 8 p.m. this Saturday John Welsh offers up a wide variety of musical styles as part of the Envision Financial Concert in the Park Series Aug. 16 from 6 to 8 p.m. For the past 10 years, Welsh has been performing his eclectic style of music for audiences around B.C. and the greater Vancouver region. He got his start in the college house-party scene playing songs along which everyone could sing. John draws influences from artists such as Ben Harper, Gypsy Kings, Sam Roberts and Joel Plaskett. His songs are often inspired by his travel experiences and blend elements of folk, surf rock, reggae and Latin. Welsh has recorded and performed with various acts such as the Welsh Brothers, Los Amigos and Rhythm and Cello. He has played hundreds of parties, shows and events throughout the greater Vancouver area sharing the stage with artists such as Tom Freund, Current Swell, Daniel Wesley and T. Nile. Welsh is currently finishing up a new EP in the studio recording with producer Digory Smallz (Joshua Hyslop/Young Liars/Oh No Yoko!). The EP holds down a strong rhythm section with Five Alarm Funk drummer Tim Proznick and bass player Darren Parris. Lyrically, his songs capture an energy flowing naturally within layers of organic instrumentation, adopting a sound unique unto its own. Welsh is preparing for a 2014 spring release of his new EP. His lively style and energetic band will be sure to get you dancing

Salmon returns not as simple as boom or bust
The plight of the Pacific salmon has been an important news story over the past few years, and often one of the big talking points is the small numbers that return to spawn every year. However, there is a lot more to the discussion than a single number. “When we’re talking about salmon returning, we’re actually talking about five species,” says Dr. Scott Hinch of the University of British Columbia. “Not all of them come back at the same time. It’s very species-specific as to when they return.” For example, the pink salmon return every second year to the Fraser River instead of every year, whereas the sockeye salmon, perhaps the most well-known species, returns each year. The other species of salmon in our Pacific waters are the coho, Chinook and chum, though the pink salmon is the most abundant, according to Hinch. “Pink salmon don’t require the same spawning and rearing habitat that other species do,” he says. “They don’t rear for long in fresh water, and they tend to head to the ocean shortly after the eggs hatch.” This has an effect on the size of the fish that travel to the ocean and thus their survival possibilities. Hinch points out that sockeye salmon tend to stay in the large lakes they’re born near for about a year, making them larger when they do start their migration to the

The Pacific Salmon Foundation recently released the results of a four-year study looking at Sockeye salmon smolts during their migration to the ocean.
ocean. Another thing to keep in mind when looking at the number of salmon is their life cycle, which actually moves in a four-year rhythm for sockeye. “Every four years we see a really big run of sockeye,” Hinch says. “In 2010 we saw one of the largest runs of Fraser River sockeye in a century. Thus, four years later (in 2014), we’re expecting to see another abundant run, though exactly how abundant is unclear. In the third year of this cycle the run is still fairly big, but in years one and two, it is quite small. That cycle seems to persist.” Aside from these natural abundance cycles, there are a few things that contribute to a large or small return of a specific species of salmon, including the number of predators, poor health and poor feeding conditions which can be affected by climate patterns like El Nino. Year-to-year changes in ocean and freshwater conditions caused by global climate change are also affecting feeding, growth and predator numbers. The Pacific Salmon Foundation, in partnership with Hinch, UBC and Kintama Research, recently released the results of a four-year study looking at sockeye salmon smolts during their migration to the sea from their rearing area in Chilko Lake. This was the first-ever study to track wild sockeye smolts (young salmon that have begun changing from freshwater to saltwater fish) through their migration via acoustic tags. Through the study, they discovered that many of the smolts disappeared during the first few days of their migration, which Hinch attributes to predators. “The water there is very clear, and the predators are generally visual feeders,” he says. “Once they get through the clear water, survivorship during the remainder of their freshwater migration was very good.” The team followed the smolts over 1,000 kilometres to the northern end of Vancouver Island. “We were the first to track this stage in this number,” says Hinch, noting that as of this spring, over 2,000 fish were tagged. The Pacific Salmon Foundation is currently working on the Salish Sea Marine Survival Project in partnership with Seattle-based Long Live the Kings, another organization committed to the protection of wild salmon. The project looks at the factors affecting the survival of the young salmon in the Salish Sea, and will build off of the results of the Chilko study in their research. “We are trying to determine the limiting factors of salmon production,” says Foundation CEO Dr. Brian Riddell. “This is the largest initiative ever undertaken; there have been thousands of studies before, but no comprehensive study.” The project will focus on the Strait of Georgia, where the the abundance of coho and Chinook salmon are low. The Foundation notes that it’s at less than one-tenth of the levels seen in the past.

Afflicted by fear of an evil beast lurking on the island, and as the lust for power and control takes over, the cadre’s fragile paradise quickly disintegrates into savage and violent anarchy. “Lord of the Flies

Giant crocus easy to grow in late summer months that is the effect you wish to have. A single corm of a large colchicum hybrid can easily multiply to cover nearly 900 square centimetres of garden. Just imagine what a few wellplaced groupings throughout your garden can do. It is best to plant them about Brian 10cm deep and about 15 to 20cm apart. They need some room, not only to multiply, but also for the huge foliage which will de-
Gardening
Vancouver, told me it takes about two years for a small bulb to grow into a huge specimen, at which point it splits into four smaller ones. Small bulbs will produce five to seven flowers; midsized bulbs will have about a dozen blooms. I have learned the hard way that these bulbs love a sunny, well-drained, yet moist location, with average soil. One year we planted them in several shady spots, only to have them gradually deteriorate to the point of no return. You can leave them in the ground to naturalize, if
I write about colchicums because they are so easy to grow and because August is the only time of year to plant these giant crocus that bloom in September. Fall blooming colchicums go by the name of ‘Autumn Crocus’, although they are not really a crocus at all. In fact, they belong to the lily family and are native to the Mediterranean region. Colchicum bulbs become huge and can, over time, produce 19 to 25 flowers, one right after the other, until they all open in a profusion of colour. A lady, who used to grow thousands in her backyard in
velop the following spring. These fascinating bulbs can actually bloom indoors simply by leaving them sitting on a windowsill. It’s best to put them in a saucer on about two inches of gravel. The flowers won’t last quite as long, nor will they have the same intense colour, but they will bloom and can still be planted outside to grow on for next year. Each year in
Minter
late April, just as the tulips are nicely in flower, huge masses of strap-like leaves appear and grow to about one foot in height. After two to three weeks, they disappear as suddenly as they arrived, having provided all the food the bulb needs. Colchicums are quite hardy and do well from zones one through nine. ‘Colchicum speciosus’, which blooms in September and October, is most often a bright violet-pink, while ‘Colchicum album’ is the seldom seen beautiful white variety. Among the hybrids, ‘Lilac
Wonder’ is the most popular with its attractive lilacpink flowers. The double purple blooms of ‘Waterlily’ are unusual and quite beautiful, but its heavy blossoms are often knocked down and spoiled by autumn rains. Colchicums should be planted in areas where they can be naturalized without interfering with other plants. I know there are many gardens out there that really need a lift in September, and these precious fall crocuses can add that little spark of colour.

Trial by fire for rookie broadcaster Abby native Krause, 20, new Chiefs play-by-play voice
by Eric WELSH Black Press
What Kraig Krause is about to do should scare him. In less than a month he’ll sit behind a microphone and call his first live game for the junior A Chilliwack Chiefs, with no prior experience. Never before has the 20-year-old done hockey play-by-play, which makes this a true trial-by-fire, sinkor-swim adventure. He should be scared. But he’s not. “In a way I am, but I’m also confident in myself,” he said with a grin. “More than anything I’m ecstatic about the opportunity to immerse myself in the team and the game and the whole Chiefs culture.” Krause, a graduate of Abbotsford’s
Yale Secondary grad Kraig Krause, pictured right with former TSN and current Fox Sports 1 broadcaster Jay Onrait, has been named the new play-by-play voice of the junior A Chilliwack Chiefs. submitted photos

Yale Secondary, will handle the Chiefs online broadcasts, plus the Shaw TV broadcasts produced by VBN Sports. His live in-game reports will air on 89.5 The Drive. As part of his preparation, he’s watching a documentary on Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick, the legendary announcer who calls games for NBC and Versus. “The biggest thing I’ve picked up watching him work is the vocabulary,” Krause said. “For example, having different words for dump-in. It’s a word that’s used a lot, so being able to say ‘throw it in’ or something else, having a large vocabulary will make the broadcast better.” Snap quiz, says the sports writer. How many words can you come up with for ‘shot?’ “Strike... fired... it’s a work in progress,” Krause laughed. “Beamed! That’s pretty much it.” No one could blame Krause if he tried to imitate Emrick. But he promises he’s going to do the job ‘his way.’ “I don’t want to try to copy someone else

and come across as an impersonator,” he noted. “I think I have my own flavour and my own unique way of doing things. It’s going to be Kraig Krause, not Jim Hughson or Don Taylor.” One resource he can tap into is Rogers Sportsnet baseball broadcaster Jamie Campbell. Krause met the former Toronto Blue Jays play by play man while working for the Vancouver Canadians baseball team. “I was in high school at the time, with peach fuzz on my face, telling him I wanted to get into broadcasting,” Krause said. “He told me it’s a tough, tough business. You’re always going to have criticism, ups and downs. But told me that if I have passion for what I do, it won’t seem like a job.” Krause acknowledges there’ll be bumps in the road and he knows he’ll be criticized, though he’ll try to make things as smooth as possible. He’s got an excellent mentor to lean on in Chiefs marketing director Barry Douglas. A long-time radio

man himself, Douglas can pass along tricks of the trade. “He’s definitely the sensei,” Krause said. “I can pick up the phone or walk into his office and ask him any question, and he’s so positive. I’ve never seen him in a bad mood. It’s great to have a leader and a boss like that.” The Chilliwack kid spent the last year in Ontario. York University in Toronto, specifically, where he was studying communications. He’s since transferred to the University of the Fraser Valley, happy to be close to home. “It’s exciting to be back in the city I was born in and grew up in,” Krause said. “To be back in this building where I have so many great memories, I just want it to start.” Krause sat in the stands Monday morning watching ice crews put the faceoff circles down for the coming season. Players will start filtering into town soon for the start of training camp. Krause is in an interesting position where he’ll be in the same age range as the players he covers. “I want to be really personable and get to know what they do off the ice,” he said. “I’m excited to talk to these guys, find out what they want to accomplish while they’re here and see how their lives are going to change.” Krause will get his first live call when the preseason starts, and he’s imagined what the final 60 seconds before going live might feel like. He can’t wait. “My stomach will be in knots, I won’t lie, but I’m so excited,” he said. “I might even get a tear in my eye. You never know.” The Chiefs’ preseason slate starts Sept. 5 with a home game vs. the Surrey Eagles.

Jobb climbs podium at international judo tourney Brandon Jobb took his talents to South Beach, and came home with a silver medal. The Team Canada judo athlete from Abbotsford finished second in the under90 kilogram division at the Pan-American Open in Miami earlier this month. Jobb went undefeated en route to the final, where he succumbed to Brazilian Eduardo Silva. “It was an almost perfect day,” commented Jobb, a Yale Secondary grad who currently lives in Montreal and is part of Judo Canada’s National Training Centre. “I went up against a top-notch judoka in the finale. I felt like I gave everything I had, and my coach really helped me a lot as well. “It’s actually the second time I’ve fought Silva, and the first time he beat me quite easily. Today I fought him much better, and it resulted in a much closer fight. I made one error and it cost me the match. I feel like I can only get better from here, and hopefully in about six months I’ll be able to beat this guy.” Q Several Abbotsford Judo Club athletes at-

If yoga can help you best deal with chronic pain afterwards, you can recover the cost of that for as long as necessary – even for life – said our B.C. Court of Appeal recently.
appointments and occasionally due to headaches. But after the accident, she had to constantly fight neck and shoulder pain. Even though she took pain medication and was committed to her health and rehabilitation, she could only reduce that pain, not get rid of it. Her whiplash injuries meant she couldn’t do her house work as usual, she had less stamina at work, and her mood and psychological well-being were negatively affected.
One of her strategies to deal with Stanley T. Cope The accident victim in this case her ongoing pain was to do yoga. (let’s call her Petra) was 43. She joined a yoga club near her She was hit from behind while stopped on place of work in Vancouver, where she did one a highway off-ramp, waiting to merge into hour of yoga before work each day. northbound traffic. The driver who struck her van was clearly at fault. Most of the case was The Court of Appeal pointed out that her about what compensation she should get for doctors and health professionals supported her “non-pecuniary damages” (pain and suf- the yoga as beneficial to manage Petra’s ongoing pain. fering) and costs of future care. Petra suffered soft-tissue, whiplash-type injuries in the accident. She had neck, shoulder and back pain, mostly toward the left side. She did everything she could to get back to normal after the crash. But despite this, even by the time of trial some six years later, she still suffered chronic pain. She also couldn’t sleep well at night anymore and she was depressed.
The purpose of a compensation award for future care costs in injury cases is to put the victim, so far as money can, in the same position she would have been in had the accident not happened. The court therefore decided Petra should get some $28,000 to fund a life-time yoga membership going forward. (The amount was based on her age and life expectancy.) This was in addition to other compensation she was awarded.
The doctors’ opinion was that her chronic pain was permanent and she’d likely have such pain for the rest of her life.
If you’ve been involved in a car accident, seek medical attention and legal help promptly so as to protect your rights.
Petra was a mother of three young children. Before the accident, she had been a very active, happy and unusually athletic individual. She’d played competitive field hockey at university and had run several marathons, both before and after the accident. At trial, she was working full-time. She had only taken minimal time off work after the accident, for medical

Hockey marathon coming up
Dan KINVIG
Abbotsford News
The Paul Henderson Hockey Marathon of Hope is approaching its 10th anniversary, and the charity fundraiser has amassed some impressive numbers over the course of its decade-long run in Abbotsford. Over the nine previous editions, the marathon – which brings together 64 players to play for 10 hours at the Centre Ice hockey rinks – has raised over $400,000, including $72,000 last year. The 2014 event runs Sept. 6, with each participant pledging to raise at least $1,000 that will go toward two local nonprofit organizations – Doing Family Right, a Christian ministry to strengthen families, and the Imani Orphan Care Foundation, which operates facilities in Kenya. “Any time you have an event that can sustain for 10 years, especially when you have Paul Henderson supporting it, it’s incredible,” said organizer Geoff Lee of the Imani foundation. “It’s a real testament to the local hockey community, because most of the guys who play are local.” Henderson, the Canadian hockey legend who scored the game-winning goal in the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union, has supported the marathon fundraiser from the beginning. He’s been battling nonHodgkin’s lymphoma in recent years, and won’t be attending this year’s event in person. But he will make an appearance at the evening banquet to speak to the crowd via FaceTime. The hockey marathon still has room for 13 more participants. To register or for more information, visit hockeymarathonofhope.com.

Silver for bantam A Angels

Five B.C. medals for Abby baseball teams The Abbotsford bantam A Angels baseball team added to the local minor baseball association's provincial medal count last weekend, winning silver at their B.C. championship tournament in Burnaby. The bantam A squad, which finished second in Lower Mainland league play, won its pool at provincials with a 4-1 record, with victories over Newton, Surrey/New West, Kamloops and Comox. The Angels defeated White Rock 12-3 in the semifinals, punching their ticket to the championship game vs. the Campbell River Tyees. Campbell River edged Abbotsford 12-11 in a thrilling back-and-forth

ARFC honours all-city boys rugby team The Abbotsford Rugby Football Club has released its senior boys all-city team for the 2014 high school season. The Fraser Valley AAA champion Robert Bateman Timberwolves led the way with nine nominees: Noah Jensen, Kurtis Kirschner, Gavin Rowell, Kolby Steen, Talus Swanberg,
Jake Thiel, Josh Thiel, Gerrin Tramm and Austin Zacher. The Yale Lions had six players picked, including Noah Bain, Surge Francis, Jason Hignell, Ayden Kirkpatrick, Travis Murray and Ryan Rizzo. The Rick Hansen Hurricanes placed four players on the squad – twin brothers Alex and Brandon
Ho, Jimmy Brar and Vishal Toor – while the W.J. Mouat Hawks and Abby Senior Panthers had three apiece. Jordan Goheen, Grayson Marquardt and Thomas Sharpe Madigan were the Panthers’ honorees, while Matt Blair, James Ginther and Leon Lokombo were Mouat’s selections.
contest. Also on the weekend, the Angels' mosquito AAA Tier 2 team traveled to Duncan for their provincials. The Abby squad posted a 2-2 record during pool play, with wins over West Kelowna and Prince George, but fell short of advancing to the semifinals. The bantam A team's silver medal brought the Abbotsford Angels Hardball Association's provincial medal count to five. The previous weekend, the peewee AAA and mosquito AAA Tier 1 teams both won B.C. titles, while the bantam AAAs took silver and the mosquito A squad took bronze.
UFV soccer men beat Eagles The University of the Fraser Valley men's soccer team showcased an explosive offence in their exhibition opener, beating the Kwantlen Eagles 5-2. The game was played at Abbotsford Senior's all-weather turf field, which will be the Cascades' home pitch for the majority of the 2014 CIS season – they had spent the last two years playing out of
Chilliwack's Townsend Park. UFV's James Najman opened the scoring with a beautiful volley in the eighth minute, and the Cascades authored a four-goal flurry in the second half to put the game away, courtesy of strikes from Trevor O’Neill, Connor MacMillan, Elijah Sampson and Justin Sekhon. “I think the score
5-2 was probably a true reflection,” head coach Alan Errington said, “but having said that, I think the score could have been 3-3 at halftime. I thought Kwantlen played very well and they’re a very good team. We dodged a couple bullets early on … We need a little bit of work defending, that wasn’t the best. But that’s expected in this part of the year.”

Red Bull tour bus makes stop at auto extravaganza by Keith Morgan
Some of Western Canada’s unique never-before-seen cars, collectively worth millions, will be on display at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver’s Ultimate Car Show. But it’s my bet that an ‘old’ bus will capture the attention of many attending
the free auto extravaganza, set to get underway in the outdoor parking lot at 2080 United Blvd, Coquitlam, this Saturday, at 1 p.m. The Red Bull tour bus, built by Abbotsford’s 360 Fabrications, will take its place among more than 350 uniquely designed exotic, muscle and collector cars at this inaugural event, staged by the Casino in partnership with 360. The bus, which doubles as an outdoor stage, was actually built from three buses – the front metre and a
half was a 1960 transit bus, whereas the remaining 12 metres is a 1974 Silver Eagle built on a 2012 freightliner frame. Inside is a party room with coolers and video screens, which doubles as a green room when the world famous beverage company puts it into action at a concert or festival. It is also a fully functional transformer with 120,000-watt sound system and 80,000-watt generator. Keeping it company will be some impressive automo-
biles, including a 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish, one of only two in Canada; a 1965 Malibu SS, appraised at over $500,000; and a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro appraised at more than $700,000. The 2015 McLaren 650S is one of the most highly anticipated vehicles to come into the market and one will be featured at the event. Car and Driver magazine dubbed it McLaren’s bid to compete with Ferrari. It has a twin-turbocharged Continued on page 37

Classy as can be or is that C? by Alexandra Straub
Mount Rainier in Washington State stands 4,392 metres high. Its majestic presence is topped off with an icy garnish, as well as wispy tufts of clouds that surround its peak. It leaves onlookers in awe. The crystal white hue of the Mercedes-Benz C400 seems

Mercedes’ 4MATIC all-wheel drive system. As for other features, five people will fit more comfortably inside. It’s larger in every dimension compared to outgoing C-Class. There are two all-new 4- and 6-cylinder turbocharged engines from which to choose. The C300 features a turbocharged 2.0L, 4-cylinder that produces 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Then there’s the C400. With 329 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque, this new V6 has more torque and better fuel econ-
to have a similar effect on people. They can’t help but stare. Some take photos. Some admire from up close, some from afar. The C-Class is a staple product in the Mercedes-Benz lineup and is their most popular-selling vehicle in the family. It’s also one that plays a vital role in the Canadian market, one that usually involves snow! While the all-new C-Class isn’t covered in snow it can certainly handle it with minimal effort. All C-Class sedans come standard with

omy in comparison with the outgoing 2014. Both engines are paired with a 7G-TRONIC transmission. Whether using the steering wheel paddle shifters or just letting the car change the gears on its own, you also have the ability to change your driving modes thanks to the AGILITY SELECT system that gives you five choices. There’s Eco, Normal, Sport, Sport+, and Individual. The modes are self-explanatory. My weapon of choice, even for everyday driving, was the Sport mode. It gives the ve-
hicle enough edge to make it fun and exciting, but without the harshness and abrupt gear changes that would be better suited for the track. Regardless, whether I was in the 300 or 400, I was a happy driver. And I had a happy passenger because we both sat in comfort for the hundreds of kilometres we put on this next generation sedan. Along with its new interior and exterior look, the C Classes are equipped with the next generation of infotainment systems.

I found it confusing to use at first and I ended up pressing buttons I shouldn’t have! But if that’s the harshest criticism of the vehicle I have, it’s not doing too badly. Okay, the B pillars are quite wide and intrude on my blind spot visibility, but again, properly adjusting the mirrors and a shoulder glance will eliminate those anxieties. When it comes to driving, it checks off all the boxes

And it feels great to drive at slow or high speeds. The 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, should continue to impress, remain the top-seller and make people smile, one acceleration or turn at a time.

Abbotsford News Friday, August 15, 2014
Why the Treaty of Versailles did not bring peace This past week marked the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War, a conflict that continues to influence world affairs to this day. My wife and I recently had the opportunity to tour the location where the peace treaty was signed that ended the conflict between Germany and Allied Powers. The treaty was signed at the Versailles Palace, just outside Paris, and brought to a close
the conflict that claimed 8.5 million lives but paved the way for more than 60 million more to die just a generation later and countless millions since. Why didn’t this treaty bring peace? Recently in a time of private prayer, I was beseeching God for peace in my life. As I was praying I was struck by the myopic view of the situation. I thought that if only God would answer my prayers by taking away the
will allow us to experience a peace that exceeds anything we can understand. I can understand a peace that comes from not having any problems, so that must not be what God meant. When God gives us strength to deal with the pain and the suffering of reality and still be at peace, then that becomes hard for my mind to understand. Yet it is in the pain and the suffering that we are most
problems I was facing then I would experience real peace. In the midst of the prayer I was moved to change my focus from one of asking for the problems to be removed to one of asking for the strength to deal with the problems in a more Godly way. Even as I began to change the focus of my prayer, I began to feel a sense of peace. In Philippians 4:6-7 we are told to pray to God and He
like Jesus Christ, who cried out to the Father and was comforted by the Spirit as He gave His life on the cross for you and for me. The reason the Treaty of Versailles did not bring peace is because the absence of conflict does not bring peace; it just brings a lull in the hateful and selfish ambitions of people until the next battle flairs up. It is the same way in our lives. Don’t be fooled into think-
ing that once all your money, relationship, family or health problems are taken care of, then you will have peace. You will never be completely free of problems in this life, but that doesn’t need to keep you from experiencing a peace that just really doesn’t make sense. A peace in the presence of problems.

The family moved to Vancouver in 1985, where Mike finished his apprenticeship and became a journeyman Electrician. Over the past 28 years Mike has worked on many projects and had risen from journeyman to superintendent on his last project, Mica Dam. On his down time Mike enjoyed golfing, fishing and working on many projects at the family home. Mike enjoyed travelling to Thailand, which he called his second home. What Mike enjoyed most was his time at home with his family. He is sadly missed and survived by his wife of 31 years Val, and daughter Isabelle (Cody), his sons Leroy (Cecili), Richard and Curtis, his pride and joy were his grandson Odyn and granddaughter Miya. He is also survived by his parents Ed and Maxine Murphy of Windsor, ON, his brother Larry (Nancy) and sisters Liz (Dan) and Pam, as well as many nieces and nephews.

She lived and worked in the Netherlands, earning her nursing training at VanderBergstichting, Bethesda and Eudokia in the Netherlands, working until 1958 when she moved to Alberta, Canada. Tina married Berend (Bert) Huizing on January 22, 1959 in the Netherlands. Shortly thereafter they returned to Canada to build their life there. Tina was passionate about her love for the Lord, her family, gardening, and animals. Mom was a great example of showing love to all creatures of our God and King, and was passionate about helping those for whom life was not easy, being a daily example of being the hands and feet of Jesus. She was very involved in working with the physically and mentally challenged throughout the years; providing respite, and forging loving friendships with so many. Tina is predeceased by her parents Flora and Klazina Van Nes, her siblings Annie Schop (Van Nes), Kees Van Nes, Dirk Van Nes and Bill Van Nes.

LEE, William Richard (Dick) Cpl RCMP (ret) April 29th 1936 - July 30th 2014
FEDATO Timothy Roy June 7, 1957 ~ July 17, 2014
With broken hearts we announce Tim’s passing. He battled many health issues over the last few years until he decided to get on his Harley-Davidson and ride home where he wouldn’t be sick anymore. Tim’s irrepressible sense of humor got him into trouble and his charm got him out of trouble... usually. He had a strong sense of honor and if you had his respect you also had his loyalty, you could count on that. Tim had the amazing ability to make friends wherever he happened to be and is much loved by all of them as we have had rave reviews on what a rascal he could be. Tim leaves behind the people who love him, mourn him and miss him; his big brother Dan MacDougall (Judith), our Judith who passed 2 months before Tim and we love and miss her, big sister Roseanna Fedato, our other sis, Ann Nielson. Tim’s nieces and nephews who adored their uncle Tim are Nina MacDougall and Stacey Waldo plus their children (Uncle Tim’s Fan Club) Jesse MacDougall, Layla Waldo and Colby Waldo, also left to mourn, our cousins Rose Fedato (Brian) and Barry Fedato. To Tim’s son Anton (Tony) Kelly, we have tried to find you without success and we say to you that you were always loved. Tim has your baby picture in his wallet and carried it always. If you see this and want to contact us, the numbers are 306-656-4640 or 306-229-1614. If not then we will understand. Tim expressed the wish to come home so we will have him placed with our beloved mother. We will notify all as to when a service will be held in British Columbia, to all of the people who knew Tim, remember what a crazy, loveable, full of fun person he was.

After a 15 year battle with cancer, Richard has been called home to be with his Higher Power. His final journey was peaceful as he passed on the morning of July 30th. Richard is survived by his former wife Diane and their sons: Darrin (Paula), Dennis (Lisa); his 5 grandchildren: Mackenzie, Alexandra, Carson, Brayden and Kellen; his sisters: Anne Marie (Bob), Geraldine (Henry), Sylvia (Gene); his brother: David (Theresa); and numerous nephews, nieces and cousins. Richard’s greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren and they will miss him dearly. Lastly, a special thanks to Geraldine Lee for being a big help in Richard’s final months. Richard was born in Erickson Manitoba, to Ingvald and Nellie Lee and he was the fourth, of seven children. After 18 years of Prairie life Richard joined the RCMP, and upon graduation, was posted to BC in 1957. He was transferred to many towns throughout BC where
he made a great number of friends and acquaintances. Richard retired from the RCMP in 1981 and became an entrepreneur. He was the owner of Allgard Security in Trail, BC, where he ran the business with his wife, Geraldine, for many years. Richard was an athlete, an outdoorsman, a coach and a contributor to the community. He loved to watch his sports and was an avid Smoke Eaters fan. A longtime member of Kiwanis, Richard spoke of the many friends he had made through the group. He was an avid fisherman and he loved to be out on his boat on Arrow Lake trolling for Kokanee, or on the ocean fishing for salmon. Richard was grateful for the care he was given by Dr. Trevor Aiken. In addition to Drs. Scotland and Livingston, our family is grateful to all of the ER nurses at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, as well as the nurses and staff of the 300-wing at Columbia View Lodge, for making his final days comfortable. The compassion and care they provided was outstanding. A celebration of Richard’s life will be held on Sunday, August 31st at 1:00 pm at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #11, in Trail, BC. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements. As an expression of sympathy, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society at 908 Rossland Avenue, Trail, BC, V1R 3N6 would be greatly appreciated.

Forty-two travellers enjoyed an all-inclusive trip to China, April 4-12, 2014 hosted by the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce.
China’s history and culture up close From the futuristic skyline of Shanghai to the ancient Forbidden City, a trip organized by the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce will again visit the world’s most populated country in 2015. After a successful inaugural tour earlier this year, the chamber is organizing a second trip for next spring. The tour – which is also open to non-members – will visit Shanghai and Beijing, along with ancient sites like The Great Wall, the Jade Factory and Lingyin Temple and emphasizes sightseeing. But the tour will also provide opportunities for chamber members to set up business meetings. Whatever one’s reason’s for taking part in the tour – which also stops in Suzhou and Hangzhou – Asaph said first-time visitors will come away with a whole new appreci-
ation for the rapidly developing economic superpower. “It’s important that we start to learn about this country,” he said. “The way to build understanding between nations is to experience their lives and see things from their perspective. This trip is a life-changing experience opening up new understanding to a part of the world we know so little about.” Asaph’s first trip to the country, in 2012, radically changed how he looked at China. “It’s far more modern, far more up to date.” And as its middle class expands, the country is becoming more than an exporter of cheap goods, he said. “It’s not until you go over there that you understand the size of the market… The middle class and the disposable income is something that is still emerging.”
Asaph continued: “China’s growing role as an economic powerhouse offers tremendous opportunity for B.C. Yet it remains a country still relatively unknown to most of us. We saw this as an opportunity to introduce our members and the public to the history, people and culture of modern China as well as a glimpse of the huge potential that exists there.” While Asaph said the tour may provide new insight into China for those looking to do business in the country, the main goal is providing a first-rate sightseeing and cultural experience. “The trip isn’t just for businesspeople,” Asaph said. “The main purpose of the trip is to introduce people to the history and culture of China.” The first tour drew rave reviews.
“They were thoroughly delighted with the trip.” Asaph singled out Suzhou, which he called the “Venice of the East,” as a particular highlight. For the 2015 trip, organizers have added an optional trip south to Xi-an and the Terra-Cotta Warriors aimed at those who visited the country earlier this year. The cost of the trip is $2,599 for members and $2,749 for non-members, with the side trip to X’ian costing an additional $500. The cost of the trip includes airfare and taxes, accommodation in four- and five-star hotels, three meals a day, all tour fees and in-country transportation, as well as the services of knowledgeable and experienced English speaking tour guides.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
The economic importance of the lower Fraser River This week I had the opportunity to appear as a delegation to Abbotsford City Council where I spoke about a report that was commissioned by 13 Chambers of Commerce located along the Lower Fraser River (LFR).
The report highlights some startling facts:
The Economic Importance of the Lower Fraser River Report highlights the economic significance, evaluates threats to future sustainability, and ultimately calls on all levels of government to come together to devise a long-term holistic flood management plan that maintains and protects the LFR.
• The LFR rivals the St. Lawrence Seaway in terms of tonnages and jobs.
One of the main challenges to managing the LFR is coordinating the many government and non-government stakeholders that maintain it. At the time of writing the report, there were 15 municipal governments and 29 First Nations groups along the banks of the LFR, and over 20 provincial and federal ministries involved in its administration. You can plainly see the enormity of the problem.
• 50% of BC’s population and $50 Billion dollars’ worth of development are located in the LFR floodplain.
• Approx. 300,000 people live in the Fraser River floodplain with another 1 million expected in the region over the next 25 years. • Every year over 3 million cubic metres of sediment settles on the base of the river impacting safe vessel navigation, eroding land and putting increased pressure on local dikes. The Abbotsford Chamber will be meeting with representatives of all three levels of government to present the findings and recommendations identified in the report. In addition to these meetings, the Abbotsford Chamber is joining with the 12 other
lower mainland Chambers to co-sponsor a resolution at the Policy Session at Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in September. The resolution will ask members to endorse the recommendations of the report and add the full collective voice of business and commerce across Canada to this pressing issue. The challenges facing the Fraser River will require long-term management and funding as well as substantial financial obligations. Plans and commitments will extend well beyond the political mandate of any currently elected government. All levels of government and key stakeholders must work together to ensure that this vitally important resource is protected. Your Chamber is working on your behalf to ensure that the impacts of this important issue are fully communicated to senior levels of government.

Abbotsford Chamber achieves national recognition The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce has been awarded “Accreditation with Distinction” by the Chamber Accreditation Council of Canada (CACC). The Chamber’s performance was evaluated in three specific core activities: Policy/Advocacy, Membership Programs/Services and Organization/Administration. It joins a select group of
only 8 other Chambers in BC to achieve this prestigious recognition. In 2004, representatives from all levels of the Chamber network formed the Chamber Accreditation Council of Canada (CACC) and launched a national accreditation
program designed to recognize chambers that satisfy a set of high standards and practices - Chambers that seek to stand out, that look to the future. Accreditation is a formal acknowledgement that member Chambers of Commerce
and Boards of Trade have been successfully evaluated by the CACC against rigorous national standards of policy, service and performance. Displaying the accreditation seal is your Chamber’s declaration of, and commitment to, their unique value proposition as “the voice of Business’ in your community.
