Lori Witmer recalls that while pushing her son Jeremy in a shopping cart as a young child, he would recite the numbers on the grocery store checkouts, even though she had not yet taught him how to read numbers.

At the age of 10, Jeremy informed Lori and her husband Barry that he wanted to be a nuclear physicist.

“That’s great, son. What’s that?” Lori remembers asking him.

When Jeremy was in middle school, a child psychologist tested his intellectual abilities, and he scored off the charts. He was bumped ahead a grade into Yale Secondary in Abbotsford.

At the age of 16, Jeremy earned a bronze medal in the International Chemistry Olympiad in England.

Fast forward five years, and Jeremy is continuing to astound his parents – and others – with his talents.

The 2009 graduate of Yale Secondary leaves this week for Stanford, Calif., where he will begin a five-year PhD program in applied sciences at the prestigious Stanford University.

All his costs, including tuition and stipend, will be covered for the program, after Witmer reContinued on A4

hear t feta a pesto

ceived a Stanford Graduate Fellowship in Engineering and Science – the most prestigious award that the university hands out to an incoming graduate student.

It was one of several PhD programs to which Jeremy, 21, was accepted after achieving a perfect score of 990 on the physics GRE (graduate record exam), which is an admissions requirement for grad programs in the U.S. He was also accepted to MIT, Caltech, Yale, UC Berkeley, UCLA and the University of Toronto.

Jeremy said it was a difficult decision to settle on Stanford, among all those other world-class institutions, but he chose it because of its “excellent reputation, its close connection with the tech industry in the Silicon Valley, its well-rounded research programs … and its beautiful campus and

gorgeous weather.”

He said receiving the scholarship is a huge honour.

“It means that I can pursue my studies over the next few years without worrying about it burdening me financially. Because my funding comes directly from the university and is not tied to any particular research group, it also means that I’ll have more flexibility in terms of selecting a group and research topic.”

Jeremy graduated in May of this year from the University of B.C. with a bachelor of applied science in engineering physics, achieving an overall average of 95 per cent and receiving more than a dozen UBC scholarships for academic achievement.

At Stanford, he plans to do his research in the field of nanophotonics, in which carefully engineered nanostructures are used to control light at minuscule scales.

His long-term goal is to either be a

university professor or to work as a research scientist in the tech industry, doing cutting-edge research and development.

“I love that this is a field which challenges me academically and forces me to be in a state of constant growth and learning,” Jeremy said of applied physics.

“It’s amazing that the complicated world can be understood in terms of elegant physical theories, and equally beautiful that these theories can be applied to create real, useful devices that improve people’s lives.”

Lori said she and Barry are proud parents who admire that their son is not only intellectually gifted, but is a “well-rounded person” who is wellliked and respected among his peers.

“He is very humble about who he is.

He wouldn’t even tell his grandmother about his accomplishments if I didn’t encourage him to,” Lori laughs.

Abbotsford News Friday, August 22, 2014

From ‘modelquin’ to medical doctor Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

Submitted

Maggi Gyuricska has recently completed medical school.

Four years after Abbotsford residents helped win her $100,000 to attend medical school, Maggi Gyuricska is getting used to answering to a slightly different name.

“My students call me Dr. Gyuricska,” she said with a laugh, a day after returning home to Abbotsford from Dominica, the tiny Caribbean island where she studied for four years at Ross University School of Medicine.

In 2010, Gyuricska parlayed thousands of online votes into a $100,000 win in Old Navy’s “Super Modelquin” contest. The company wanted a female whose features they would use to create new mannequins; Gyuricska needed the money to help her pay for medical school, which she was otherwise unable to afford.

This July, Gyuricska graduated from Ross’s medical school. She has already begun teaching first-year students at Ross while she applies for residency jobs at hospitals in the United States, where she did her clinical training.

The 29-year-old Yale Secondary grad said the trust and faith of those who voted for her four years ago helped spur her on during the long days demanded of medical students.

“It made me have so much gratitude,” she said. “I will pay this forward the rest of my life serving others.”

Only a tiny percentage of those who apply to British Columbia’s only medical school, at UBC, get into the program.

So four years ago, Gyuricska turned to Ross University, a well-respected program that was cheaper than American colleges.

However, the bill was still too high for Gyuricska and her family, and Canadian student loans wouldn’t cover the out-of country program.

Gyuricska’s big Old Navy win helped get her to medical school, but didn’t bankroll her entire education. She took out bank loans, and employees at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre – where Gyuricska used to work and where her mother is a clerk – held fundraisers for their former co-worker. But Gyuricska still needed an extra financial boost after her third year. Her saviour was an acquaintance, who volunteered to cosign for a bank loan that helped pay for the rest of Gyuricska’s college.

Rather than feel pressure, Gyuricska said all the support from back home gave her reassurance.

“I have a whole community of people helping who know that I can do this,” she

said. “I’d be going five days, 25-hour shifts and I’d wake up and remember why I’m here and the people and the support I have.”

One of Gyuricska’s most memorable moments came when, two weeks into her clinical training at a hospital in New Jersey, Hurricane Sandy hit. The storm flooded large areas of New York, including the subways she counted on getting her from her home in Brooklyn to the hospital.

“It was really crazy,” she said. Despite causing three-hour commutes to and from the hospital, she said the hurricane “really reinforced the reasons why I wanted to be a doctor.”

Even now that she has earned the title, Gyuricska’s not on easy street. Resident doctors – who work under the guidance and supervision of attending physicians – make paltry sums and work long hours.

But although her Kraft Dinner-eating days may not be behind her, medical school and the toughest exams she will ever take are, which has Gyuricska excited and grateful.

“It’s been really overwhelming,” she said. “I feel so blessed.

“I get to do my dream, but at the same time I get to make a difference.”

TYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News

Thistle has run rampant through Gladwin Park’s off-leash dog area, prompting the city to ask residents to stay out.

Clearbrook dog park. Soon the sites will be complete with fences, gates, and access to water and shelter.

De Menech spearheaded fundraising efforts last year with Liza Whiteside, owner of the Bosley’s Pet Food Plus on Whatcom Road, and raised more than $13,000 for the parks.

The project was originally set only to improve the Gladwin Park location, but later expanded to include the new offleash area on Clearbrook.

De Menech is thrilled with the results.

“It’s phenomenal. It’s just a beautiful park.”

She said while the city would have undertaken the work eventually, the fundraising efforts kickstarted the project.

She said the city has done all the labour and will provide maintenance.

A ceremony to open the new Clearbrook Park will likely be held in late September.

Public meeting on proposed homeless camp Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

A transitional housing camp for homeless people proposed for Valley Road will be the subject of a city-hosted public meeting on Aug. 28.

A group called the Abbotsford Dignitarian Society has proposed to create a sanctioned homeless community on a privately owned lot off the AbbotsfordMission Highway.

The off-leash dog area of Gladwin Park has been temporarily closed due to a thistle infestation that can harm people and animals.

A sign at the site states thistle has spread in the off-leash area. The city is advising people to stay out while it implements a control program to deal with the common weed, which sprung up after the field lay fallow for a period.

A city representative says the dog park should be ready for use the first week of September.

The dog area is also undergoing an upgrade, including installation of a fence and gates.

Kendell De Menech, who runs a hydrotherapy program for dogs called K9H20, has been part of fundraising efforts to improve that off-leash dog area as well as create a new dog park in a section of Clearbrook Park.

She said after bringing her dog to Gladwin Park, he contracted a severe infection, as the thistle can cause an allergic reaction. Her dog has been on heavy medication and De Menech is still waiting to find out if he needs surgery.

“This stuff is nasty. You cannot walk in the field in sandals without getting stung.”

De Menech said she was “absolutely impressed” when she called the city and they immediately came up with a plan to get rid of the thistle, adding an employee even called to ask how her dog was.

“I’m just thrilled. It’s been just great working with these guys.”

But the thistle is a temporary setback for Abbotsford’s dog-lovers.

De Menech said the work is underway on both the Gladwin upgrades and the

Association (ADBA) and a grant from Edible Trees Canada, which allowed volunteers to plant a variety of trees on the site.

But for the housing component of the project to move forward, the city would have to amend the official community plan (OCP) to designate a portion of the subject property as a temporary residential use permit area.

That would allow the organization to develop up to 40 sleeping cabins; a communal laundry, kitchen and

bathroom structure; and a c a re t a k e r / a d m i n i s t ra t ive building. The proposal also includes an area for up to five tent sites to be used as shortterm emergency shelters.

The public is invited to the meeting to comment on the proposed OCP amendment, and members of the society will be there to answer questions about the proposed development. The amendment is needed because currently, the OCP does not allow the issuing of temporary residential use permits.

The amendment would still require approval from council, and staff aims to bring the application forward at the Oct. 6 or Oct. 20 council meeting. If the OCP amendment receives first and second readings from council, it will go to a public hearing, where residents will have an additional opportunity to provide feedback.

The meeting will be held Thursday, Aug. 28 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Abbotsford Virtual Campus (33952 Pine St.).

OF THE WEEK Do you still feel safe walking in Mill Lake Park?

Mill Lake robberies If we can put cameras on a street where they are having issues why can’t we put them in the park where robberies/muggings are happening?

What we know about the mine spill Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views Today I’ll attempt to cut through the speculation and fear-mongering that have swirled around the Mount Polley mine dam breach and tell you what’s really known.

As Black Press and our local publication the Williams Lake Tribune reported before and after the incident, the mine reopened in 2005 after a four-year shutdown and was expanding its operation, including the tailings pond. Rising metal prices helped put 380 unionized employees plus management back to work. Most are now working on rebuilding the tailings dam and cleaning up the spill site.

Imperial Metals applied earlier this summer for an increase in water discharge, and was waiting for B.C. government approval at the time of the Aug. 4 dam breach. This was to be the second amendment to a water release permit issued

when the mine started up in 1997. It has had a surplus of water due to rain and snow accumulation since it opened (under an NDP government, for those who want to turn everything into a political corruption story).

The reason water release has been allowed is that in the absence of acid-producing rock, metal contamination of water is minimized.

Imperial Metals’ routine tests with rainbow trout in undiluted tailings pond water have now been confirmed by environment ministry results, and water and fish from all but the immediate spill area have been cleared for human consumption.

For an example of acid mine drainage, look up the Britannia Mine Museum, now a reclaimed national historic site with a water treatment plant built to function for hundreds of years. Before that, acid-produced toxic metal pollution drained from the abandoned mine into Howe Sound for

decades.

Early tests at Mount Polley indicate that this sort of long-term water remediation may not be required. The initial pulse of suspended sediment didn’t last long enough to affect fish in most of Quesnel Lake, much less the Fraser River system. Sediment tests show elevated iron and copper, with “leachability” results to come.

Containment and removal will have to be undertaken.

On May 24 of this year, Mount Polley received the first high water warning in its history.

This was not a “breach,” contrary to some reports.

The latest water permit application and work to raise the dam took place after that.

It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happening as mine management found ways to extend operation, including an underground phase. The pond was filling up with pulverized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water. Most of the accumulation is still there for all

TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and retelling every sensational claim they could find.

to see, as is the cross-section of the dam so abruptly exposed in the wee hours of Aug. 4.

It may be months before inspectors and geotechnical engineers can determine the cause of the breach, which occurred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam, well within permit specifications. Either the design of the earthworks was not adequate, or it was not adequately followed.

TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and retailing every sensational claim they could find.

Tourism operators are pleading with people not to turn their backs on the region after that influx of visitors.

Professional environmentalists are now exploiting Mount Polley as part of their campaign to de-industrialize B.C. A key propaganda tool is a single picture of a salmon with skin removed from part of its dorsal region.

No such fish has been produced, and a single rainbow trout collected the day of the spill is the only confirmed aquatic casualty.

ATTENTION BUSINESSES OF THE FRASER VALLEY

Query candidates on official community plan thoughts Back in January I wrote a short letter titled “Moving our community forward in 2014.”

In it, I wrote about the importance of Abbotsford’s official community plan (OCP) and its relationship to Abbotsford’s community profile, economic growth and strategic land-use planning.

Abbotsford’s OCP is the single most important policy document that shapes the direction and processes by which Abbotsford is governed. It also happens to be under strategic review during the same time as our upcoming municipal election.

It relates to job creation, protecting agri-business and ensuring our tax dollars are used effectively. In fact, almost every important decision made by the city relates in some way to the OCP. As candidates begin coming forward with their platforms, consider asking for their take on the document. Whatever their point of view, it should in the least give you a good idea about what they stand for and why they are running.

Great Place For Produce!

Animal lovers will get a chance to show their love for abused and injured animals next month.

The 2014 Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk will give people the opportunity to fight animal cruelty and raise money for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals.

In Abbotsford, one of 31 communities taking part in the fundraiser, the walk will take place Sept. 7 at Mill Lake Park. Registration starts at 9 a.m., with the walk starting at 10 a.m.

Proceeds will go toward the Abbotsford SPCA. The event brings animal lovers and their furry friends from all walks of life together for a great time as well as a fantastic cause.

Participants can enjoy a variety of entertainment and fun activities, including a bowl-licking contest, community vendors, a barbecue, and fabulous fundraising prizes for people and their pets.

“This is the largest single event to help fight animal cruelty in British Columbia,” said Krista Constantineau, manager of fundraising events at the BC SPCA. “We are overwhelmed by the amazing participation each year – it’s so great to see thousands of people come together across the province to help B.C.’s most vulnerable animals. Our supporters not only raise essential funds, the events are so much fun for two-legged and four-legged participants.”

Scholarship helps cadet achieve pilot’s licence Abbotsford’s Arjun Gill was one of 36 air cadets selected from across British Columbia to get their private pilot’s licence.

Gill spent his summer at the regional gliding school (Pacific) in Comox on the Air Cadet Private Pilot Scholarship Course.

Gill, a member of 861 Silverfox squadron in Abbotsford, was trained on a Cessna 172 and a Cessna 152, to achieve Transport Canada’s private pilot licence standards in just seven weeks. The minimum age for this scholarship course is 17.

Gill said he was excited to receive his private pilot’s licence.

Submitted

Arjun Gill was in Comox for seven weeks where he obtained his private pilot’s licence.

When asked what taking the scholarship course meant to him, he joked, “I am now on my way to becoming the Top Gun.� “These young men and women have worked long and hard

to earn this prestigious scholarship opportunity, and will work even harder throughout the course, as they pursue their dreams and career goals,� said Lt.-Col. Keith Stewart, commanding officer of RGS

(Pacific).

Royal Canadian Air Cadets is a national co-educational youth organization sponsored in partnership by the Canadian Forces and the civilian Air Cadet League of Canada. In British Columbia there are approximately 3,700 air cadets enrolled in 57 squadrons.

Those interested in joining the Royal Canadian Air Cadets can contact the 861 Silvefox squadron at 604-852-5755 or by join the squadron Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. at the Air Cadet Building at Exhibition Park (unit 14, 32470 Haida Dr.) beginning Sept. 17.

Moskvin takes top honour Abbotsford cadet Oleg Moskvin was named top cadet

in 17 Platoon at the final parade of Delta Training Group

at Vernon Cadet Summer Training Centre.

Moskvin is a member of the Abbotsfordbased 861 Silverfox Royal Canadian air cadet squadron.

Moskvin attended the six-week army cadet marksmanship instructor course at Vernon Cadet Summer Training Centre, where cadets learned the principles of army cadet marksmanship, how to lead marksmanship activities, how to assist the range safety officer and how to coach younger cadets.

In addition, the cadets toured Vernon and enjoyed recreational swimming.

Each summer more than 1,300 army, sea and air cadets from Western Canada spend up to six weeks in Vernon, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming new friendships.

The cadet program is a national program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activities while learning about the sea, army and air activities of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Lemonade raises Crystal Gala funds

Submitted

(Back row, from left) Kaitlin MacDonald, Rachel Heppner, Megan Heppner and Frances MacDonald (in front) recently ran a lemonade stand to raise funds for cancer research. They then donated the money to the Crystal Gala Foundation.

Four Abbotsford girls who recently set up a lemonade stand to raise funds on behalf of a friend battling cancer have donated the money to the Crystal Gala Foundation.

MacDonald and Megan Heppner, age nine, set up the stand at the end of the MacDonald family’s driveway on Boxwood Court.

They raised slightly more than $120, which was donated on Aug. 19 to members of the Crystal Gala Foundation during a presentation at Abbotsford Regional Hospital (ARH).

The girls raised the funds on behalf of Kaitlin’s friend Brooke Loewen, 12, who was in BC Children’s Hospital over the summer going through her second battle with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

She was first diagnosed last year and went into remission after treatment during the summer of 2013.

The condition returned this spring, and Brooke began another three months of treatment. She was discharged from the hospital on Aug. 13, and it appears she is back in remission.

Brooke and her mom were in attendance when the funds from the lemonade stand were donated to the Crystal Gala Foundation.

Mark Hildebrand will be in Abbotsford Aug. 23 as part of the Envision Financial Concert in the Park Series.

Born and raised in B.C., in a home filled with classical piano, western guitar and hymns of the church, Hildebrand’s musical journey was, from the start, diverse. Upon discovering the guitar as a young teen, he continued to explore and experiment with many styles of sound. Even though he won the Royal Conservatory of Music silver medal while training in classical guitar, in the end, his heart was won by the blues.

In writing and performance, Hildebrand’s structure and technique build the listener’s confidence in his

HEALTH

MATTERS

Alcohol and cancer risk Though the exact details of how alcohol increases cancer risk are unknown, the American Cancer Society notes there are several different ways that alcohol may contribute to a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elevated risk of developing cancer.

TISSUE DAMAGE: Alcohol can be an irritant in the mouth and throat as well as other areas of the body, forcing damaged cells to repair themselves.

That forcing of the hand may lead to DNA changes in the cells, and such changes may act as a steppingstone to cancer. Alcohol also can cause inflammation and scarring in the liver, and as liver cells attempt to repair that damage, mistakes in the DNA may result, increasing a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk for cancer. In the colon and rectum, bacteria can convert alcohol into acetaldehyde, a chemical which studies have shown causes cancer in lab animals.

EFFECT ON HARMFUL CHEMICALS: Alcohol can dissolve other harmful

chemicals, including those found in tobacco smoke, making it easier for them to enter the cells lining the upper

There are several ways that alcohol may contribute to a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elevated risk of developing cancer. digestive tract. The ACS theorizes that this may play a role in why the combination of smoking and drinking is far more likely to cause cancers in the mouth or throat than either smoking or drinking alone.

HORMONES: Women who consume alcohol may be prone to elevated levels of estrogen, a hormone associated with hormone-receptor-positive breast

cancer that plays a significant role in the growth and development of breast tissue. According to Breastcancer.org, when compared to women who abstain from alcohol, women who have three alcoholic drinks per week have a 15 percent higher risk of developing breast cancer, and that may be a byproduct of the effect alcohol has on a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hormone levels.

EFFECT ON NUTRIENTS: The bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cells need a vitamin called folate to stay healthy. But alcohol consumption can compromise the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to absorb folate from foods, which is especially problematic for heavy drinkers who do not get enough nutrients in their daily diets. Low folate levels have been linked to breast and colorectal cancers.

We ride for kids with cancer. To raise money for amazing support programs like Camp Goodtimes – a summer camp for kids with cancer and their families.

INTO THE

WILD

Mental health & riding a bicycle ride casually around the neighbourhood, through parks or on bike paths.

HARV BERGEN OWNER/OUTDOOR ENTHUSIAST LIFE CYCLES BIKE SHOP

We can all agree on the physical benefits of riding a bicycle. The weight management, muscle toning and the strengthening of our cardio-vascular systems. Some will prefer road riding while others ride mountain trails. Still others take a more mild approach and

I have personally experienced these physical benefits for most of my life. I have found we don’t think as much about mental health as we do physical health but I have discovered the mental benefits of cycling are just as important as the physical. When I start the morning with a bicycle ride, I set the tone for the day.

I am wide-awake and sharp. The sights

and smells while on a bike ride as well as the wind in my face and the elevated heart rate all serve to clear my mind of negative thoughts and help me focus on problem-solving and inspirational ideas.

The ride from work at the end of the day helps me put any problems in perspective.

The rhythmic turning of the pedals as I move along helps me transition from business owner to the more important things in my life...being husband to my

wife and father to our four sons.

How about you? Is your brain happy that you ride your bicycle? Or maybe you aren’t riding regularly. Try riding a comfortable bicycle at least three times a week. See the difference this activity

GET OU

will make after only a month. Questions

about getting started? I can help. Call me

or stop by Life Cycles Bike Shop soon.

Your brain might thank you.

FAVOURITE FARM MARKET

The Farmer and the Foodie The rhythmic and relentless marching forward of the seasons means the months between pouring over seed catalogues on a rainy January afternoon and greeting the daily August sunrise to harvest pass swiftly.

Corn season always brings mixed emotions, as the demands of daily picking exhaust us, but the satisfaction of seeing excited corn-eaters eagerly awaiting the day’s delivery of freshly picked bins is a farmer’s greatest reward. While creamy new potatoes and juicy field tomatoes have their followers, no vegetable arouses the passion of a simple ear of corn. Over the years our ears have heard every corny joke, listened to countless versions of “the best way” to prepare and preserve corn, explained the difference

between “Chilliwack” and our corn innumerable times (it’s not a variety, it’s only grown in Chilliwack) and have launched dozens of local teenagers’ working lives either picking or selling corn. Our biggest surprise? Watching people first shop at the market and then walk over to the shed to collect their corn rather than purchase the same corn inside. Why? “Because it just tastes better when we buy it at the shack”, and I suppose there’s a kernel of truth in that. So don’t delay, as it would be simply ear-responsible of us not to encourage you to stalk up while we’re up to our ears in one of the Fraser Valley’s most amazing and EXP delicious OUR LORE crops.

It owes its existence to a seam of high-quality fire clay that was discovered late in the last century. John Charles Maclure, the brother of the renowned architect Samuel Maclure, founded the company in 1905.

While the village is part of the City of Abbotsford, it is in part administered by the Clayburn Village Community Society, which promotes community spirit with recreational, cultural and athletic endeavours; the educational value of local history; and the preservation of heritage sites.

Abbotsford News Friday, August 22, 2014

Gondara smashes hammer record at youth nationals Gerry Swan has been the dean of track and field in Abbotsford for decades now.

The head coach of the Valley Royals track and field club seen it all, and he’s not prone to issuing empty superlatives.

So when he’s blown away by a performance, like he was last weekend when Vikramjit Gondara shattered the meet record in the under-16 boys hammer throw at the Canadian Legion National Youth Track and Field Championships, you know something truly special has transpired.

Gondara, who is going into Grade 10 at W.J. Mouat Secondary, registered a toss of 59.44 metres, utterly obliterating the previous meet record of 53.94m. That’s exactly 5.5 metres further than the old mark, and Swan termed it “a monster throw.”

“He’s a super athlete,” Swan said of Gondara.

“I’d say his potential is unlimited. He’s probably the best young under-20 athlete that the Valley Royals has.”

Gondara, in turn, was blown away when that compliment from Swan was relayed to him.

At the Legion nationals, he in fact broke the record four times, with his best throw coming on his sixth and final attempt.

“I got a good cheer from the crowd (beforehand), which kind of inspired me,” recounted Gondara, who also finished fourth in the discus at 48.84m. “I increased my speed on the throw and tried to keep my balance so I could execute my release, and it turned out to be a really good throw.

“I was expecting to get a record, but what I threw, 59.44, that was a really good surprise to me,” he added, noting that his winning toss was three and a half metres further than his previous personal best.

“It feels really good.”

Gondara was hardly the Royals’ only standout.

Tasha Willing took silver in the U18 girls shot put (13.20m) and added a sixth-place result in the hammer (50.81m).

Michael Lambert, meanwhile, won bronze in the U16 boys high jump, clearing 1.83m.

“I was expecting to medal, looking at the

seeding, but I wasn’t sure where I would end up,” said Lambert, who won gold at the BC Athletics championships in Kamloops in

July with a personalbest leap of 1.84m.

“I’m pretty satisfied.

I would have liked to go 1.85 or 1.86, but

Viger to be honoured for figure skating contributions Abbotsford’s Bev Viger is being honoured for her many years of outstanding contributions to the sport of figure skating, as one of two recipients of a 2014 ProMotion Plus In Her Footsteps award.

Viger and Delta’s Joy Fera will be honoured at the In Her Footsteps awards presentation Tuesday, Oct.

21, at the Vancouver Lawn Tennis and Badminton Club.

The Celebrating BC Women in Sport event honours women who are or have been athletes, coaches, officials or advocates who have made significant contributions to women in sport. Their stories are featured in the In Her Footsteps ex-

hibit at the BC Sports Hall of Fame.

Viger has earned a worldwide reputation as a top figure skating official and has worked diligently to support the sport provincially, nationally and internationally. She acted as competition manager for the highly successful figure skating event at the 2010 Vancouver

Buttar wins gold with Team Canada Bryana Buttar of Abbotsford helped the Canadian under-15 girls soccer team to the gold medal at the inaugural CONCACAF U15 Championship in the Cayman Islands.

Team Canada met Haiti in the final, both teams coming in with undefeated records.

Haiti took the lead in the 37th minute, but Canada's Sarah Startigakis tied it up with less than six minutes remaining in regulation.

It took a penalty shootout to decide matters, which Canada won 4-1 behind a standout performance from goalie Lysianne Proulx.

Buttar, a 13-year-old centre back, started every game for Canada at the CONCACAF tourney – an impressive accomplishment for a player who's two years younger than the upper age limit.

Burnaby, and in October will take the lead as technical delegate at the International Skate Canada Grand Prix in Kelowna.

A member of the Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame in the builder category, Viger is currently the competition manager for the Skate Canada BC-Yukon section.

Adam Hadwin has clinched his PGA Tour card for next season with a fanastic showing on the Web.com Tour.

Major milestone for Hadwin

THANK YOU!

Abby golfer will officially earn his PGA Tour card on Sunday, but he knows thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty still to play for

The Board and Staff would like to extend a sincere thank you to all who attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for our new, state-of-the-art Pump Station where we celebrated our third Gold Medal win at the 2014 Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Competition for Best Tasting Municipal Drinking Water in the World.Â

Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Adam Hadwin will mark a momentous milestone in his golf career on Sunday, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even in the vicinity of celebration mode at this point.

At the conclusion of this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s WinCo Foods Portland Open â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â the final tournament of the Web. com Tour regular season â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â the 26-year-old Abbotsford golfer and 24 others will be feted at a ceremony where they receive their PGA Tour cards for 2014-15.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hadwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just reward for a fantastic campaign on North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-tier pro golf

Add it all up, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earned $223,267, which leaves him 10th on the Web.com Tour money list.

The aforementioned top 25 at the end of the regular season earn their PGA Tour cards, and heading into the finale, Hadwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spot in that select group is assured.

But while playing full-time on the PGA Tour is something Hadwin has dreamed of since he was a youngster, this week is hardly the finish line. The upcoming Web.com Tour playoffs â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â four events with million-dollar prize purses which award an-

other 25 PGA Tour cards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will also decide priority access for the 25 regular-season card recipients. The better he fares, the more PGA events heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have access to, beginning with the Frys. com Open in early October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my mind, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a lot of stuff left to accomplish,â&#x20AC;? Hadwin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just having the tour card doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be enough these days. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of guys with (PGA) tour cards that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play that well this year and lost it, and are coming back to the (Web.com Tour) playoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very exciting time.

always want more, and I think that’s where my head is at still.”

Hadwin has encountered peaks and valleys en route to the PGA Tour.

The Bateman Secondary and University of Louisville grad burst onto the scene in July 2011 with a fourthplace finish at the RBC Canadian Open, and he finished 30th on the Web.com Tour money list the following season.

The 2013 campaign was a nightmare, though – Hadwin missed the cut at 10 of 21 events, and finished 74th overall to barely retain his Web.com Tour card.

But he’s been far more consistent in 2014, missing just four of 16 cuts, and credits that success to a more focussed, professional mindset. “(The struggles in 2013) led to me figuring some things out,” he said.

“I’ve played pretty well and proven to not only myself, but to everyone else that I’m ready to take the next step.”

Q Fellow Abby golfer Nick Taylor’s situation this week is fraught with much more drama than Hadwin’s.

Taylor is squarely on the bubble, sitting 74th with earnings of $64,813. The top 75 advance to the Web.com Tour playoffs, and lock up their Web.com cards for 2015 (spots 76-100 get conditional status).

Escaping the city heat for the cool of the high country

by Bob McHugh

On a muggy, scorching hot summer’s day, what better vehicle than the aptly named Highlander for a high-altitude scenic drive to find some cool, crisp

mountain air and sink a foot in a glacier.

All-new for 2014, Highlander Hybrid is the fuel-efficient and eco-friendlier version of what Toyota describes as its mid-sized SUV, but it sure looks and feels bigger than most in this class, plus it can seat up to seven (or eight).

Wider and longer than last year, this Highlander is also lower and, more importantly from a driving

perspective, it has a lower centre of gravity.

There was a time when Highlander looked like an SUV, with an angular two-box design. Its styling lines have softened with successive redesigns and now if you put Highlander beside its Camry-based wagon sibling, the Venza, you need a second look to tell them apart. Not sure if that’s a good thing, but I do like its more car-like

driving dynamics.

Not far south of the Canadian border, Mount Baker is a glacier-covered mountain that rises 3,286 m (10,781 ft) above sea level, which is over 900 m (3,000 ft) higher than Whistler, the best-known mountain in BC. Mount Baker is also regarded as the second most active volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range, after Mount St. Helens, but

there’s been nary a puff since 1880.The Mount Baker Highway (Hwy. 542) starts in Bellingham (exit #255 off the I-5), winds east through a number of small communities and offers some interesting side tours along the way, before it climbs steeply and ends at Artist Point (1,567 m / 5,140 ft.). This large parking lot, which is about 10 km beyond the ski area, is closed during the winter months and has spectacular panoramic views, plus a selection of great hiking trails.

The highway crosses the Nooksack River at

Nugent’s Corner and tracks east, alongside the north fork of the river, through old growth areas in the Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest.

Allow about 1.5 hours of leisurely drive time in each direction. You’ll also need a ($5) day pass to park, which you get from automated dispensers at the Glacier Public Service Center or at Heather Meadows near the skiing area.

The Hybrid Synergy Drive system in Highlander uses a 3.5L Atkinson Cycle V6 gas engine, a high torque electric motor-generator

and powerful traction battery. It boasts 10 additional horsepower (280 net horsepower) over the gas-only model, yet uses almost 30 per cent less fuel.

Although Toyota has done an admirable job of masking it, Highlander Hybrid is a weighty (2,200 kg) vehicle, and has the usual characteristics of a heavy vehicle. It’s more than fine in a straight line and while handling is laudably predictable, it didn’t seem to like being tossed around on the twisty sections of Continued on page 49

the highway. Then again, that’s the norm in this class of vehicle.

SIDE TRIPS: Mount Baker Vineyards and Winery has a tasting room, offers tours, has a picnic area and is open Thursday through Sunday, noon to 5:00 p.m. It’s about 3 km east of the Nugent’s Corner roundabout, where you can also spot the historic Bethany Church (built in 1907) landmark.

Nooksack Falls is just a short (and groomed) gravel road off the highway about 11 km (7 ml) east of Glacier, which is the last community along the highway. You do have to scramble over some (slippery when wet) rocks to get to a good (and safe) fenced viewing area. The water takes a spectacular 30 m (100 ft) plunge, so a close-up view is definitely worth the extra effort.

INTERESTING EATING PLACES: Anthony’s is an excellent choice for lunch or dinner in Bellingham. Situated in the harbour area it overlooks the marina and has views of the San Juan Islands. Great service, great fare (especially the seafood), all tables come with a view and the prices are very reasonable, compared to Vancouver. An after-meal stroll around the picturesque marina walkway also allows you to ogle hundreds of boats and yachts up close.

Web site: anthonys.com The North Fork Brewery, Pizzeria, Beer Shrine and Wedding Chapel is an out of the ordinary and rewarding halfway (going or returning) restaurant stop on the Mount Baker Highway that’s known locally as “The Shrine.” Don’t be put off by the long name or its rustic appearance as the food is delicious and there’s an awesome selection of fresh brewedon-site handcrafted beers.

Web site: northforkbrewery.com

LAST WORD: A hybrid edition of the Toyota Highlander costs an additional $6,000 to $8,000. Yes, you probably will recover that extra investment in this hybrid while doing your eco-part to save a world that looks pretty good from high up on Mount Baker.

AWD is the secret sauce. We live in a country with inclement weather and the trend is to AWD as people experience it and want it in their next vehicle. If a car is offered with front-wheel drive (FWD) or AWD, most people will go for the latter.

Subaru’s WRX is all about providing a sporty drive.

Subaru provides this as standard equipment on all its cars, except the sporty BRZ that was co-developed with Toyota. Subaru then layers on more power and sporty features into their compact car, the Impreza, to develop the WRX and WRX STI rally-inspired cars. These have been incredibly popular, once again, because they come

with AWD and the closest competitors do not.

Looks Back in 2011, Subaru introduced the WRX to look like the bolder and more powerful STI version, complete with bulging fender flares, hood scoops and aggressive attitude. This really helped to propel the WRX into another gear in terms of sales. To

2009

follow up on this idea, the latest 2015 model too has an edgy design similar to the more powerful STI version. It is the same overall length as the last model but the wheelbase is longer, making bigger doors and the designers were able to slope the front and rear windows and crop the roof a tad, to provide a sleeker profile.

The front grille now has a more polished look but the wheel size is only 17-inches, making the car look too big for the size and track of the wheels. The STI only comes with 18-inch wheels that are too small as well. One big advantage is the side mirrors have been moved from the

SEE OURY CRUISER IT COMMUUNND TOWN! O AR

INSIDE As wonderful as the last WRX was in terms of handling and power, the interior let it down. It was too bland, especially considering the top STI models can cost well over $40,000. This 2015 has been vastly improved but has a few niggly items that could be improved. The dash is covered with soft touch materials, the centre console has a better design, with a three easy to use heat and ventilation controls. The rest of the dash has been cleaned up with a much better looking design and more attention to colours and textures.

The radio and accompanying Bluetooth system was horrible to pair with my Android phone and I had to do it several times after the initial pairing procedure to stay connected. The armrest for the driver is far too low to be of any use and the speedo and tach readouts are far too small to read quickly. Plus, the key needs to used to release the trunk, I couldn’t find a trunk resale anywhere on the car. What the WRX does have is room for all passengers with big doors and very easy access, with a bigger trunk (once you can get it open) than the last model.

DRIVE What the WRX is all about is providing a sporty drive and now it is available to a wider range of buyers thanks to a new automatic transmission. Subaru wants to sell more cars, not less, and by adding an automatic for a

generation of buyers who might not know how to drive stick, is a major step. This is not your average automatic, it is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that has one gear but the ratio of the gear is changed. This, along with the standard 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with 268hp, produces a surprising snap at all speeds. Yes, a 6-speed automatic is still available but this new CVT makes the WRX easy to drive in town and it can fly when it is placed in the sportiest setting. Other than the new automatic, the most notable change is the much stiffer suspension and tighter steering feel. The front springs are 39% stiffer than the last WRX and the rears are 62 percent stiffer.

This, along with a more rigid platform and tighter steering makes a very sharp feeling car. It might be too sharp for buyers who live with very bumpy roads.

VERDICT Subaru has done a good job with the WRX, the STI and the BRZ. Sporty design, powerful engines and AWD help but so too does price.

The starting price is $29,995 and the most expensive WRX is $36,795. Compared with the closest competitors, the VW Golf GTI and Ford Focus ST, this car is right on the money but comes with AWD, whereas the others don’t.

As much fun as this car is, even with the new automatic, the small details need to be improved. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca THE LOWDOWN Power: 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder with 268hp Fill-up: 9.8L/7.0L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $29,995-$36,795

Bryan Hourt, Acura’s Assistant Large Project Leader, Vehicle Performance, tells of his upbringing on a ranch in Northwest Nebraska.

Appropriately, he talks about horsepower.

He explains that when you connect with an animal, getting on with life’s daily tasks is much easier. If you’re out of sync with your horse, you have to work twice as hard at what you’re doing.

In one situation, you enjoy yourself and get more done without having to micromanage. In another, it’s just exhausting.

This can be likened to driving.

If you’re in a car that you

don’t connect with, your routine can be more arduous than it has to be. But, if you love your car and you trust it, life on the road is so much better.

Enter the 2015 Acura TLX. It blends another type of horsepower, with grace and poise.

When I slipped inside the cabin of the all-new TLX, confidence was apparent from the get go.

It’s a vehicle that was

designed with performance in mind from the ground up. Furthermore, its chassis features a newly designed four-wheel independent suspension system to help you enjoy country roads or the chaos of urban life.

It’s tame at slower speeds but has the ability to take on higher-speed challenges without breaking a sweat.

Lastly, there’s the TLX SHAWD with next-generation Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive, and the 3.5-litre, 290 horsepower V6 and 9-speed automatic.

What works for the TLX is its understated elegance. It’s pleasant to drive, and a lot more user friendly to work with.

OBITUARIES

ENNS Eva Elizabeth Eva Enns died peacefully on August 8, 2014 at the Cottage Pavilion in Abbotsford, at the age of 94.

Eva was born on July 15, 1920 in Borden, Saskatchewan to Henry & Anna Goertz. She enjoyed childhood on her parents’ farm along with her 3 brothers and 1 sister. As a young woman she moved to BC with her parents, where she met and married Harvey, the love of her life. They raised their family in North Delta, and retired in Abbotsford.

She was predeceased by her beloved Harvey, as well as each member of her generation in her family and in her husband’s family.

Eva is survived by her children: Faye (Patrick) and John (Jill), and her grandchildren: Tiffany (Greg), Vanessa (Brian), Lucas (Sophie), Joseph, Nathan, and Bethany (Clayton).

Also surviving her are her great-grandchildren: Sarah, Jaiden, Nate, Kate and Lincoln, as well as many nephews and nieces.

Eva appreciated humour and laughter. Many will remember her smiling face, whether at church, or the mall, or on walks in the community.

In later years Eva suffered from dementia, and became a resident of the Worthington Pavilion, and following that, of the Cottage. The family would like to thank the staff at these facilities for their excellent care over the years.

A private memorial gathering is planned.
