SCHOOL START UNCERTAINTY

Parents, administrators watching teachers’ strike HELPING WILDLIFE

Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

Next Tuesday has been circled on Raven Little’s calendar for months. In January, Little’s five-year-old daughter Serenity began asking her mother if she would be going to school the next day. After answering “not yet” one too many times, Little had her daughter circle the first Tuesday in September on a calendar. Serenity has been crossing off the days remaining ever since. But with no end in sight to the teacher’s strike, Little is now considering when and how to tell her excited daughter that her first day of school might be delayed for an uncertain length of time. “I haven’t told her because I’m hoping that by then it will get figured out,” she said Monday. “There isn’t really a way to say ‘I don’t know when school is going to start.’ ” For the time being, those discussions are on hold as parents, students and local school administrators watch the province and teachers for signs of an impending deal. After a series of rotating strikes began in May, teachers escalated job action to a full strike in June after the British Columbia Teachers Federation (BCTF) and the province were unable to reach a settlement. The last public proposal in June saw the BCTF asking for an eight per cent pay hike over five years with a $5,000 signing bonus. The province had offered seven per cent. The sides were further apart on class size and composition, with the province saying the BCTF proposal would cost hundreds of millions of dollars. A mediator was called in over the summer to bring the sides together, and it was hoped that a media blackout would cool tensions and lead to a deal. That hasn’t happened yet. In a letter to teachers released Monday, Abbotsford School District superintendent Kevin Godden said

Cathryn Ward is shown on her birthday on Aug. 14. Two days before, she was having an early celebration at Chances Playtime Gaming in Abbotsford when she won a large jackpot. She was later told she had been overpaid and was asked to return the funds.

Winner refused to pay, saying not her fault

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A woman who won a large jackpot at the Abbotsford gaming centre on Aug. 12 was ordered two days later to return more than $3,000 that the casino overpaid her. But Cathryn Ward had already spent the money on bills and fought the B.C. Lottery Commission (BCLC) over its demands, saying the overpaid funds were not her fault. On Wednesday (Aug. 20), the BCLC stated that it agreed with Ward’s position and closed its investigation of the matter, with no further action to be taken. However, Ward said the corporation’s actions ruined the day and the win for her. “I am in disbelief that the lottery could do such a thing and, quite frankly, I have never heard of such a thing – a corporation trying to take the winnings back they award you,” she said. Ward, who works up north and sporadically lives in Abbotsford, had gone to Chances Playtime Gaming – located on Peardonville Road – with two friends for an early celebration of her birthday. She was playing the “Mustang” slot machine when she hit the jackpot, indicating she had won $13,149.25, but a different “cash explosion” sign showed the win was $10,000. After discussions among casino staff and confirmation of the amount from the BCLC head office in Kamloops, Ward’s win was determined to be the larger amount. Ward said she and her two friends even questioned the amount to double-check whether it was correct. The next day, she cleared up several bills, including $5,000 she owed her aunt, $1,300 for a housekeeper to look after her uncle and $2,400 in dental work.

For over 90 years, Odlum Brown has been one of BC’s most respected investment firms by helping investors achieve their financial goals for generations.

She also sent money to her children, grandchildren and two nieces. A day later, Ward said she received a call from an investigator with the BCLC, saying a mistake has been made and if she did not pay back the funds, she could face criminal charges. Ward explained that she no longer had the money. She said she received a total of six calls about the matter. Three were from the BCLC and three were from a police officer with the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch (GPEB), she said. “I am sick, sick, sick about the whole dang mess. Who else do they do this to and, more importantly, why?” Ward told the Abbotsford News on Aug. 15 before the matter had been cleared up. Nicole Lewis, in media relations with BCLC, confirmed the circumstances, and Ward was mistakenly overpaid $3,149.44. “It is standard procedure to request repayment of overpaid funds in rare instances where a discrepancy occurs,” she said. Lewis said the incident was then further investigated by the BCLC and the GPEB, and it was determined that the error was due to “a miscommunication between BCLC and the site.” “As the patron was not at fault, the investigations are now closed with no further action to be taken. We appreciate the cooperation of the patron in this matter and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused,” Lewis stated in an email on Aug. 20. Lewis said BCLC will work with Chances Abbotsford to ensure all staff are “adequately trained to avoid any errors in the future.”

Ice Bucket Challenge in honour of former News co-worker Rhonda Graw battling ALS Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Rhonda Graw and her husband Jeff were watching the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon earlier this month when something curious happened. Fallon, along with several staff members and guests, hoisted enormous buckets of ice water over their heads and poured the contents all over themselves, with Fallon explaining it was an effort to raise awareness and money for ALS research. Rhonda, who has ALS, and Jeff looked at each other with mouths agape. “We’re sitting there, and we’re going, ‘Did they say ALS? What’s going on? What’s happening?’” Rhonda recalled with a chuckle. What was happening was part of a worldwide phenomenon fuelled by social media, which has seen everyone from celebrities (LeBron James, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake and Tom Cruise among them) to your next-door neighbour posting their own ice-bucket dousings online and challenging others to take part. The Graws quickly became huge fans of the initiative, which is drawing crucial awareness and research funds for a disease which can often fly under the radar. As of Monday, the Ice Bucket Challenge had raised $79.7 million in the U.S., compared to $2.5 million during the

Kevin Hemery doused Shirley Wilson (left) and Don Barbeau in succession as part of an ALS Ice Bucket Challenge at the Abbotsford News last Thursday. same period last year (July 29 to Aug. 25). ALS Canada’s fundraising goal for the year was $10,000, but $5.6 million has already been raised since July 29, and they’ve readjusted their goal to $7.5 million. Last Thursday, Rhonda’s former colleagues at the Abbotsford News took on the challenge in her honour. Publisher Andrew Franklin and more than 30 staff members – along with Abbotsford school board vice-chair Shirley Wilson and Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce executive director Allan Asaph – were soaked in ice water, and a donation was made to the

Small adjustments the Graws make on a daily basis include Jeff making sure to close the windows before he leaves for work in the morning, because Rhonda doesn’t have the strength to do it herself anymore. He also makes sure to leave milk in a smaller container, because she can’t lift the big jug. In the bigger picture, the Graws are in the process of modifying their house – making the main bathroom wheelchair-accessible, installing stair lifts, and adding a wheelchair elevator to the deck. Jeff noted that while there are plenty of cancer fundraisers, ALS doesn’t register to the same degree in the public consciousness because it affects just one in 100,000 people and the average lifespan after diagnosis is two to five years. “Nobody knows what ALS is,” Rhonda said. “So with this Ice Bucket Challenge going viral, it’s bringing awareness. And hopefully with awareness comes money, and with money comes a cure. Because right now, they don’t know what causes it, there’s no treatment, and there’s no cure. You just have it. “This is bringing it to the forefront.” For more information or to make a donation, visit alsbc.ca.

Decision expected Aug. 29 the district is still waiting to see what happens this week. “A decision on school opening will likely not be made until Friday, Aug. 29 to provide the maximum amount of time to reach a negotiated settlement,” Godden said. “We remain hopeful that the two parties will reach a negotiated settlement before schools are due to open.” Godden wrote that the district is focusing on two possible scenarios: If a settlement does happen, Godden expects schools to open as scheduled, although he cautioned that “there may be some delays in regular instruction, as course scheduling for students, particularly at the secondary level, may need to be adjusted.” Without a settlement, Godden says “some or all schools” may be behind picket lines. Schools will be open, he said, but classes may not be running, depending on what job action the teachers decide to take. If teachers don’t return to the classroom, “we will again encourage parents not to send their children to school but to seek alternate childcare arrangements,” Godden wrote. “The safety of our students is our highest priority. Should any students arrive at school while picket lines are in place, our school administrators will ensure that they are cared for until they can be safely returned to their homes under the supervision of a parent or guardian.” Abbotsford Community Services’ Child Care Resource and Referral Program (CCRR) has been fielding numerous calls from parents looking to find child care for their kids in case of strike, according to program supervisor, Maria Cargnelli. “We have definitely seen families struggling to look for care,” she said. The program refers parents to a range of providers with openings, but many of

the daycares are having to adjust to the sudden demand for September full-day childcare. Privately operated Kids Club Child Care Centre has extended its summer programs into the fall to accommodate parents, manager Chris Kinkead said. While Kids Club hasn’t yet been inundated with anxious parents, the strike has presented challenges for the daycare, which must increase its typical September program offerings and staffing levels. Abbotsford Hand in Hand, which operates child care programs in elementary schools around the city, is already operating at capacity, executive director Cheryl Havens said. The school district has promised to allow the centres to continue day-long programs into the fall, and Havens hopes picketing teachers are as welcoming to Hand in Hand workers as they were in June. The government has promised parents $40 a day to pay for child care during the strike – funds which would otherwise be spent on teachers’ salaries if they were working. But Havens said some parents are still feeling a financial pinch, and Cargnelli said the CCRR has been fielding calls from parents unsure how to access the money. (Staff have been directing parents’ to the province’s website on the program.) As for Little, she has an infant and so won’t have to make alternate childcare arrangements. But she has found her own excitement for her daughter’s first day of school turning to something less happy. Months ago, Serenity pestered her mom into buying a backpack full of school supplies. She has clothes picked out and has been talking up her brand new running shoes for school. But the schoolyard might remain out of bounds beyond the day circled on the calendar. “It’s confusing,” her mom said. “They don’t know what’s going on or why they’re not allowed to go to school.” “Especially if it’s until October like it’s rumoured, it will be bad.”

Often difficult to visualize the size Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand Hands up anyone who can visualize how much water is in an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Most people, I assume, have only seen one on TV during the Summer Games, and only briefly since the cameras tend to home in on the swimmers. Yet, in an effort to quantify such things as the massive Mount Polley mine tailings spill, we have been told by the media that it was enough to fill 2,000 such pools. In an attempt to quantify a potential landslide debris field in an area just north of Squamish, the amount of material was described as equivalent to the volume of two BC Place Stadiums. That estimated material was only about one-third of the amount spilled at Mount Polley. Of course, if you’ve never been inside BC Place, you

would still be as unclear regarding about how much that is as those of us who’ve never been swimming in an Olympic-sized pool. I understand the need to “quantify” stuff to put the volumes of such disasters, real and potential, on a scale that the average person can grasp. Perhaps I am volumetrically challenged, but would it not be easier to visualize something common like “enough material to fill 15 million dump trucks” or “enough to cover 10 city blocks to a height of 30 metres”? For most of us who learn of things that are counted in the millions, or tens of millions, the size of the numbers are both mind-boggling and meaningless, unless you are among the privileged few who have assets/bank accounts that provide a perspective. That same “meaninglessness” also relates to the way governments at all levels spend money. Those who make spending decisions often have little or no concept of how much 10 or 20 or 100 million dollars

really is. And since it isn’t their money anyway, all they really consider is how much will “it” cost, how long (if ever) until it’s paid off, and will I get re-elected after making the decision? Oddly enough, what never seems to be factored into spending decisions are the virtually inevitable cost-overruns that often

Whether it is a tailing pond breach or a mega-project, there is a huge price to pay to clean it up or complete it. At Mount Polley, the clean-up costs will be staggering if all the ‘solid’ material – some 4.5 million cubic

metres, is removed from the environment and placed back into the tailings pond. In my effort to quantify, think almost half a million truckloads! Thus many people in the central Cariboo who depend on the mine for their economic well-being have their fingers crossed that the remediation costs don’t end up killing the golden goose that laid the toxic egg. TTT I have been under the misguided opinion that civic election ‘parties’ were eligible to issue tax receipts, thus making campaign donations deductible, and I stated this in last week’s column. I have since been made aware that I erred in my assumption, and after belatedly checking with Elections BC, discovered that indeed only contributions to provincial and federal political parties are eligible for tax-deductible donations. Thus, I apologize for leading astray anyone who might have thought there could be tax break when financially supporting a civic election party and its candidates. markrushton@abbynews.com 34375 Gladys Ave., Abbotsford, B.C.

Pot legalization just introduction of another intoxicant The “Prince� returned to Canada last week. A victim? A wrongdone-by martyr? Hardly. Marc Emery is a convicted criminal who not only committed a crime knowing it was against the law at the time, but now insists he’s planning to do it again while promising to get revenge on the people who allegedly did him wrong and sent him to prison. Regardless of your position on the use of marijuana, any idiot with working brain cells knows that the use, possession or cultivation is illegal with

very few exceptions, and the laws (until changed)  may result in significant consequences if one decides to ignore them.  To break the law knowingly, get caught and be forced to pay does not make Mr. Emery a hero or a martyr in anyone’s mind but his.  In fact, Marc Emery and his followers’ comments and various actions may exemplify that too much pot does have adverse mental effects. Even more puzzling is the idea that Jody Emery is seeking to run for the Liberal party nomination solely on

Disgusting dog owner Most dog owners are responsible when walking their pets, but there are a few who give the rest a bad reputation. Last week, one such person thoughtfully left his dog’s feces in our yard waste barrel after it had been emptied. This is disgusting. Ann Pituley Abbotsford

person’s life. It isn’t.  There are a lot more important issues to deal with than to legalize another way to get high. Until such time as true medical research is done to firmly determine the benefits (there have been some demonstrated) or detriments (there are lots

of those too) involved in widespread use of pot, all that is likely to happen in legalization is the fact we will be introducing another intoxicant for public use that will undoubtedly cause more problems than we see now. Â For those who offer the vast riches in the taxes the govern-

Unifor members are back at work at Abbotsford’s Cascade Aerospace facility after ratifying a settlement offer to an end to an 11-week-long strike. A vote saw 96 per cent of members opt for the new four-year deal, which will result in greater job security and avoid cuts to young workers’ benefits, according to a union press release issued Friday morning. “This strike was always about keeping good, stable jobs in Abbotsford, and our members achieved that,” said Jerry Dias, Unifor National President, in a press release. “I’m very proud of our members’ commitment to defending good jobs now, and for the future.” The settlement will see workers’ wages rise at least 7.2 per cent over four years, plus cost-of-living increases. The union says workers will also receive higher premiums for confined spaces work along with a written commitment to maintain Abbotsford as the primary heavy maintenance facility for RCAF C-130 aircraft, according to the union. Unifor represents 440 aircraft

maintenance engineers (AMEs), interior technicians, painters, stores, maintenance, planning clerks, sheet metal mechanics and other workers at the Abbotsford facility. Cascade, which is owned by Halifax-based IMP Group, also praised the deal, which came after independent mediators made recommendations last week to find middle ground between the parties. In a press release, the company said the deal ensures Cascade “is well-positioned to compete in the international and domestic marketplace which is integral to our continued success, and ensures that Cascade meets its current customer commitments.” “We recognize this has been a challenging time for all of our employees and customers. Now that this has been resolved, we are looking forward to moving forward and meeting our customers’ design and delivery expectations,” said Ben Boehm, Cascade’s executive vicepresident and chief operating officer. “I have faith that all our employees will rise to challenge and we looking forward to a new era at Cascade Aerospace.”

worked together to ensure that everyone, in all regions of the provinces – regardless of race, gender or socioeconomic status – had access to a job where they were paid a living wage and treated with respect. This is what the labour movement has to offer British Columbians: strong, united and dynamic communities full of people who care for one another. When we all band together to demand that vital services be publicly available to everyone – not just those who can afford them – we’ll have a whole new set of victories to celebrate each year at the end of August.

This spring, I had the honour of being elected to lead BC’s most diverse union. The over 67,000 women and men of the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) work in all areas of the province, in a wide variety of roles, making a real difference in their communities. From childcare to child protection; preventative health care to palliative care; social work to corrections; and so much more what our members share is a dedication to working together for the benefit of all British Columbians. As the union that represents these remarkable workers, we owe it to them to not only protect the

vital public services they provide, but to continuously work for positive social change. BCGEU members want to belong to a movement that can make progressive new policies that BC needs, such as $10 a day childcare, a reality. That’s why this Labour Day – my first as BCGEU president – as we celebrate the hardfought gains the union movement has made for BC and Canada, I’d like to also look forward and talk about what we still have left to do. Our province and country are faced with growing income inequality – including a gender wage gap of 26 per cent that is frankly, embarrassing. Our young people have the distinction of being

the first generation that will be worse off economically than the one that came before. But the labour movement is in a unique position to change all of that. Hundreds of British Columbians lift themselves out of poverty each year by joining the BCGEU or other unions to achieve collective bargaining rights at their workplace. The wage increases they gain by working together go right back into their local economies invigorating communities across the province. The increased tax revenues provide funding for the public services that we all rely on. Just think of the exciting things we could do if we all

The centre, established in 1986, held an open house to raise awareness and funds for the care of the roughly 200 animals that are in the centre’s care each month. Melnick said the event, which ran Saturday and Sunday “was so great.” Melnick said the event is important because people often want to see the animals that she cares for, but explained

She added the centre does not have the proper permits for frequent public viewing. “It gives people a chance to see what we do.”

The shelter is run through donations from the public and the support from several veterinarians. Often the impact and injury of the animals is caused by humans – or their pets. The centre operates on a tight budget and the special products needed to feed and care for the animals can

add up. It costs roughly $1,000 per month to feed the animals. A fundraiser – held through the new crowdfunding site BlackPress4Good – has launched to help ease the burden of expenses. The centre is seeking $6,000 – six months worth of food. Those who donate $25 or more will receive an invitation to an open house, including a private tour. A second campaign aims to raise $2,500 to complete the wildlife nursery. The campaigns will run for 60 days and will help keep the centre to accommodate the many animals in need. Each year the centre admits more than 1,000 birds and animals and about 50 per cent are fully rehabilitated and released. “We get so many animals in, every cage is in use at our place.” To donate visit bit. ly/1p7mech.

Community foundations across the country are working collaboratively to target not only areas in need of funding but entire systemic issues as well, according to Ian Bird, president of Community Foundations of Canada. Bird was in town last Friday to speak to board members with the Abbotsford Community Foundation as part of ongoing consultations with foundations across the country. “We want to make sure that everyone is like Abbotsford – re-

ally doing a great job of engag- tributing grants to local noning the community,” he said. profits, Bird stressed the impor“For us, it’s really important tance of providing knowledge that we come to know what’s and information resources that happening here in Abbotsford can help other non-profits betand share what’s happening in ter serve the community.

While community founda- we’re greater than the sum of tions are best known for dis- our parts,” he said. “One of the

things we’ve learned is that communities are looking for a way to amplify the resources they draw together.” He pointed to food security as one issue being tackled by a range of communities, including Abbotsford. There are 191 community foundations across Canada distributing nearly $200 million each year. Of those foundations, 45 are in British Columbia, making it a hotbed of foundation activity. That community foundation activity is unique to Canada, he said.

SCHOOL START-UP As you are aware, there is uncertainty regarding the scheduled school startup on September 2nd due to the labour dispute between the provincial government and BCTF. We remain hopeful that the two parties will reach a negotiated settlement in the coming days. A decision on school opening in Abbotsford will likely not be made until Friday, August 29th to provide the maximum amount of time to hear if a settlement is achieved. There are two main possibilities:

2. If there is no settlement, some or all schools in the Abbotsford School District may be behind picket lines. In this scenario, a withdrawal of service due to strike action or a lockout will again impact the school district’s ability to provide educational services for students. While schools will remain open we will not be able to offer our regular instruction as we do not anticipate that unionized staff will cross picket lines. As a result, we will again encourage parents not to send their children to school but to seek alternate childcare arrangements. We sincerely regret the inconveniences caused by this situation. Parents/guardians and students are encouraged to consult our district website for the most up to date information:

1. If there is a settlement, our expectation is that all public schools in the Abbotsford School District will open on Tuesday, September 2nd. In this scenario, we anticipate that there may be some delays in regular instruction as course scheduling for students, particularly at the secondary level, may need to be adjusted. It is our intention to return as quickly as possible to normal school operations.

Ward Draper announces candidacy for council Pastor and director of 5 and 2 Ministries seeks seat

Ward Draper, a local pastor and founder and executive director of The 5 and 2 Ministries, has announced plans to run for council in the municipal election, slated for Nov. 15. Draper said his passion is for an Abbotsford where community, business and development grow together. He said the city deserves leadership that earnestly listens to those it serves. “We need to restore broken relationships, mend

damaged trust, and to work diligently to create an Abbotsford where everyone is treated with respect, equality, and compassion.” Draper has been an Abbotsford resident for more than 20 years and has been vocal on social issues in Abbotsford, such as the issue of homelessness and housing in the community. Draper said he and his wife Lana have three young kids and understand the daily challenges families

The city will review its policies for giving financial aid – including tax exemptions – to various organizations and the new recommendations will be brought to council in early 2015 for consideration. Each year the city allows exemptions for groups that qualify under categories such as not-for-profit organizations, local government, athletic or service clubs and more.

are encountering. He said it is time the “average person has a voice in the decisions that affect their daily lives and their future. “We need to move away from favouring particular segments of our community. We need to hear from single parents, isolated seniors, struggling families, the marginalized, and anyone else who is not typically heard.”

The city has no formal policy for not-for-profit exemptions, but has granted in the past to groups like MCC, Northview Community Church, the Royal Canadian Legion and the Salvation Army. But for years, the city has not approved additional exemptions in the not-for-profit category, due to concerns it would open the floodgates on requests for exemptions.

DRAPER

Last year, council did approve an exemption for one group, the A.N.A.F. Veterans in Canada – with Coun. John Smith citing the fact that the Legion receives an exemption. Coun. Henry Braun called for the city to develop a policy back in 2012, and reiterated the call in 2013. The policies will be reviewed and brought back with next year’s budget discussions.

YOUR HEALTH President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch

ARTHRITIS

Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. Guaranteed also for rheumatoid and sciatica, (My own affliction). Truthful actual experiences from real people: For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON I suffered for years. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realized I could help many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage and helped hundreds of thousands #1 NPN 80042283 of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister… hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Bladder & Yeast Infection

A diuretic to help relieve mild urinary tract infections. True success stories by women: Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 works within a day or two! My experience in the last 4 years is that whenever I feel symptoms of an infections I take two capsules for a day or two and the infection is gone. I love this product. Pat Pearce, 53, Brantford, ON 30 years of bladder infections gone! For 30 years my doctor prescribed antibiotics. As soon as the medication finished the next #31 NPN 80038535 bladder infection came back. After 2 days taking Bell # 31 I noticed a complete relief of my infection I had all these 30 years. God bless you all for helping all of us women. Emell Whitaker, 69, Bronx, NY Bladder infections kept on coming back. Since starting Bell Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 my infection was gone and I now take it from time to time for prevention and I have no more bladder or yeast infections. I told family and friends how good Bell products are. Thank you! Maria Racz, 60, Vancouver, BC Went to the bathroom 10 times in an hour and more frequently at night!. In the last 2 years I went a number of times to the doctor and got different antibiotics and none of them worked. My urination would burn enormously. I bought your Bell Bladder & Yeast infection #31. I can now work all day or sleep all night without getting up to go to the bathroom. I am not afraid anymore to drink water when I am thirsty. Praise the Lord! Thank you! Harriett Priester, 60, North Charleston, SC

ACNE Eczema & Psoriasis

Works by cleaning blood from the inside, instead of attacking skin with creams or washes from the outside and leaving actual cause untreated. Actual Results. After 1 week my severe acne became quite mild and after 2 weeks it had completely vanished. I suffered for 5 stressful years of having acne and extremely dry, irritated skin. #60 NPN 80044199 Bell Help for Skin Disorders“saved my life”. My skin is now beautiful and you would never know I suffered from acne and other skin problems for years. Zach Lustgarten, 18, Oshawa, ON RED NOSE/CHEEKS ROSACEA gone in less than a week. Was fighting it for 30 years with topical creams and prescriptions without getting satisfaction. I live a healthy life, don’t smoke and don’t drink. People thought a reddish face comes from drinking. This is a myth. Will take it for the rest of my life when needed. Donald E. Gillespie, 56, Innisfil, ON PSORIASIS I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell Help for Skin Disorders, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC ECZEMA For 6 years my family doctor and dermatologist tried many medications and creams. After taking Bell Help for Skin Disorders for just a few days my eczema itching stopped and my face started to clear up. After suffering so long I am amazed with the results.

Soft Lift QUESTION: Is it true you can achieve a soft face lift with the use of cosmetic fillers? Will the results look natural?

ANSWER: As we age the bones of the face actually soften back as does the fat in the fat pockets of the face. At the same time our skin expands due to the effects of natural aging. In other words the table cloth is now too big for the table. With the Soft Lift we combine the smoothing effect of Botox with the filling effect of Juvederm fillers. The result is a natural looking lift with no downtime, done in just one treatment! – Dr. Marianna Snyman

Abbotsford golfer tied for second at the Winco Foods Portland Open, ending up just one stroke back of Carlos Ortiz of Mexico. Hadwin opened the tournament with a two-over 73 on Thursday, before rallying with rounds of 65 and 63 on Friday and Saturday to get within two strokes of Ortiz atop the leaderboard. After recording two birdies and one bogey over his first five holes on Sunday, Hadwin parred the last 13 holes en route to a one-under 70. Ortiz’s round was more of a roller-coaster – he registered three birdies and three bogeys – but he finished at even-par 71 to fend off the Bateman Secondary grad by a stroke. Hadwin and Jason Gore, whose five-under 66 was tied for the lowest round of the day, both earned secondplace money ($70,400). It was already set to be a big weekend for Hadwin – at the conclusion of the Portland Open, the top 25 money-list finishers participated in a ceremony where they received their PGA Tour cards for next season. Hadwin, who came in 10th on the money list highlighted by a win at the Chile Open, was already assured of that distinction, but he leaped up to fourth by virtue of his runner-up result, with total earnings of $293,667. That stands him in good stead heading into the four-event Web.com Tour playoffs. Hadwin and the rest of the regular-season card recipients will be competing with each other for priority access to the PGA Tour, with their earnings to date carrying over. Ortiz, the runaway leader on the money list with earnings of $515,403, won for the third time this season and will thus be fully exempt on the PGA Tour in 2014-15.

This spring, I had the honour of being elected to lead BC’s most diverse union. The over 67,000 women and men of the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) work in all areas of the province, in a wide variety of roles, making a real difference in their communities. From childcare to child protection; preventative health care to palliative care; social work to corrections; and so much more what our members share is a dedication to working together for the benefit of all British Columbians. As the union that represents these remarkable workers, we owe it to them to not only protect the

vital public services they provide, but to continuously work for positive social change. BCGEU members want to belong to a movement that can make progressive new policies that BC needs, such as $10 a day childcare, a reality. That’s why this Labour Day – my first as BCGEU president – as we celebrate the hardfought gains the union movement has made for BC and Canada, I’d like to also look forward and talk about what we still have left to do. Our province and country are faced with growing income inequality – including a gender wage gap of 26 per cent that is frankly, embarrassing. Our young people have the distinction of being

the first generation that will be worse off economically than the one that came before. But the labour movement is in a unique position to change all of that. Hundreds of British Columbians lift themselves out of poverty each year by joining the BCGEU or other unions to achieve collective bargaining rights at their workplace. The wage increases they gain by working together go right back into their local economies invigorating communities across the province. The increased tax revenues provide funding for the public services that we all rely on. Just think of the exciting things we could do if we all

The small, often injured, sick or orphaned animals taken to Elizabeth’s Wildlife Centre get a chance at rehabilitation and a new life in the wild. The centre opened its doors over the weekend, allowing the public to get a sense of what it takes to save the lives of the bunnies, opossums, squirrels, “birds of every possible description”, and more that come through year round. The centre, established in 1986, held an open house to raise awareness and funds for the care of the roughly 200 animals that are in the centre’s care each month. Melnick said the event, which ran Saturday and Sunday “was so great.” Melnick said the event is important because people often want to see the animals that she cares for, but explained

Volunteer Chris Roth shows a two-month-old orphaned baby opossum to children during the Elizabeth’s Wildlife Centre Open House last Saturday. they cannot allow people in on a more regular basis, as it is a functioning animal hospital and the presence of many people can stress the animals. She added the centre does not have the proper permits for frequent public viewing. “It gives people a chance to see what we do.”

The shelter is run through donations from the public and the support from several veterinarians. Often the impact and injury of the animals is caused by humans – or their pets. The centre operates on a tight budget and the special products needed to feed and care for the animals can

add up. It costs roughly $1,000 per month to feed the animals. A fundraiser – held through the new crowdfunding site BlackPress4Good – has launched to help ease the burden of expenses. The centre is seeking $6,000 – six months worth of food. Those who donate $25 or more will receive an invitation to an open house, including a private tour. A second campaign aims to raise $2,500 to complete the wildlife nursery. The campaigns will run for 60 days and will help keep the centre to accommodate the many animals in need. Each year the centre admits more than 1,000 birds and animals and about 50 per cent are fully rehabilitated and released. “We get so many animals in, every cage is in use at our place.” To donate visit bit. ly/1p7mech.

BCGEU members want to belong to a movement that can make progressive new policies that BC needs, such as $10 a day childcare, a reality. That’s why this Labour Day – my first as BCGEU president – as we celebrate the hardfought gains the union movement has made for BC and Canada, I’d like to also look forward and talk about what we still have left to do. Our province and country are faced with growing income inequality – including a gender wage gap of 26 per cent that is frankly, embarrassing. Our young people have the distinction of being

the first generation that will be worse off economically than the one that came before. But the labour movement is in a unique position to change all of that. Hundreds of British Columbians lift themselves out of poverty each year by joining the BCGEU or other unions to achieve collective bargaining rights at their workplace. The wage increases they gain by working together go right back into their local economies invigorating communities across the province. The increased tax revenues provide funding for the public services that we all rely on. Just think of the exciting things we could do if we all

The small, often injured, sick or orphaned animals taken to Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center get a chance at rehabilitation and a new life in the wild. The centre opened its doors over the weekend, allowing the public to get a sense of what it takes to save the lives of the bunnies, opossums, squirrels, “birds of every possible description”, and more that come through year round. The centre, established in 1986, held an open house to raise awareness and funds for the care of the roughly 200 animals that are in the centre’s care each month. Melnick said the event, which ran Saturday and Sunday “was so great.” Melnick said the event is important because people often want to see the animals that she cares for, but explained

She added the centre does not have the proper permits for frequent public viewing. “It gives people a chance to see what we do.”

The shelter is run through donations from the public and the support from several veterinarians. Often the impact and injury of the animals is caused by humans – or their pets. The centre operates on a tight budget and the special products needed to feed and care for the animals can

add up. It costs roughly $1,000 per month to feed the animals. A fundraiser – held through the new crowdfunding site BlackPress4Good – has launched to help ease the burden of expenses. The centre is seeking $6,000 – six months worth of food. Those who donate $25 or more will receive an invitation to an open house, including a private tour. A second campaign aims to raise $2,500 to complete the wildlife nursery. The campaigns will run for 60 days and will help keep the centre to accommodate the many animals in need. Each year the centre admits more than 1,000 birds and animals and about 50 per cent are fully rehabilitated and released. “We get so many animals in, every cage is in use at our place.” To donate visit bit. ly/1p7mech.

Unifor members are back at work at Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cascade Aerospace facility after ratifying a settlement offer to an end to an 11-week-long strike. A vote saw 96 per cent of members opt for the new four-year deal, which will result in greater job security and avoid cuts to young workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; benefits, according to a union press release issued Friday morning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This strike was always about keeping good, stable jobs in Abbotsford, and our members achieved that,â&#x20AC;? said Jerry Dias, Unifor National President, in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very proud of our membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; commitment to defending good jobs now, and for the future.â&#x20AC;? The settlement will see workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wages rise at least 7.2 per cent over four years, plus cost-of-living increases. The union says workers will also receive higher premiums for confined spaces work along with a written commitment to maintain Abbotsford as the primary heavy maintenance facility for RCAF C-130 aircraft, according to the union.

Cascade, which is owned by Halifax-based IMP Group, also praised the deal, which came after independent mediators made recommendations last week to find middle ground between the parties. In a press release, the company said the deal ensures Cascade â&#x20AC;&#x153;is well-positioned to compete in the international and domestic marketplace which is integral to our continued success, and ensures that Cascade meets its current customer commitments.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recognize this has been a challenging time for all of our employees and customers.

a team from Brampton, Ont. in an epic tournament finale. The lead seemed to change hands with every half-inning, and the Angels surged ahead 10-8 in the top of the sixth when Luke Szmutko smacked a three-run homer. But Brampton tied the game with two runs in the bottom of the sixth, and after Abby came up empty on offence in the top of the seventh, and Ontario squad got a runner to third base with nobody out, and drove him in with a single up the middle for a walk-off win. “It was amazing,” Angels coach Dan Dick said, reflecting on the game. “It was a lot of really tough baseball, and the kids played awesome. “They (Brampton) have 18 peewee teams playing in their league, and we have seven. To stand up to those guys and go toe-to-toe with them was a real feat.” The Angels opened the tourney with a 6-4 loss to Brampton, but finished the round robin with wins over Quebec (1-0) and Nova Scotia (11-3) to clinch a semifinal berth, where they beat host London 7-0. That set up a rematch with Brampton, and the Angels pushed them to the limit before settling for silver. Szmutko picked up player of the game honours in the final, and other players of the game included Carlin Dick, Dayton Peters, Jesse Makaj (a call-up from Vancouver) and Ryan Blight (Coquitlam). “The boys represented Abbotsford and B.C. extremely well,” Dick said. “They played with tremendous passion and pride, and they worked extremely hard.”

He was the light of our family and his legacy of warmth, humor and positivity will remain in our hearts. Jack’s love for his wife and soul mate Ruth was a treasure to behold, his presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him, especially his loving family.

Paul Paul passed away peacefully in Penticton with his family at his side August 23, 2014. He eagerly came into the world on March 16, 1968 at MSA Hospital in Abbotsford, BC. Paul is the loving son of Art and Donna Peters and eldest brother to Scott (Tiffany) and Troy (Tonya) Peters also of Abbotsford. He graduated from WJ Mouat in 1986 and throughout his school aged years demonstrated a passion for wrestling and baseball. Growing up in Abbotsford, Paul and his family enjoyed many outdoor activities and camping adventures together, and eventually with the guidance of his father, Art, he became an avid huntsman and fisherman. In 1993 Paul was blessed with his first born son Kyle, and shortly thereafter, in 1994, he proudly welcomed his second son Sean. Paul relocated to Penticton in 1994 and soon became a valued person in the community, forming many relationships and friendships. Soon after his arrival in Penticton, Paul joined the Quest ball team where he quickly became part of their special family; their support has gone beyond what could have ever been expected. Paul was a devoted employee of Terasen Gas for over 20 years, and throughout his career, he formed many cherished friendships with his colleagues. Throughout his courageous battle with cancer Paul received the unconditional support and love of so many. His family will eternally be grateful to all of you. He is survived by his boys, Kyle and Sean; his wife Ali and his step children, Kaylee, Dan, Justin, and Matthew; nieces Alexandra and Lauren and nephews, Jesse and Charlie. Paul will be greatly missed by all who knew him and loved him. A Celebration of his Life will be held Monday, Sept. 1, 2014, 1:00 pm at the Penticton Lakeside Resort.

HOPE

LAMARRE Marilyn Risko Late of Abbotsford, BC, Marilyn Risko Lamarre’s soul transitioned from her cancerridden body May 24, 2014. Marilyn was predeceased by her mother, Helen Boncek Risko, her father, Michael Risko, her sister Michele Risko Hampton, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. She is survived by her husband, Paul, daughter, Kelly Lamarre Doherty (Paul), Somerset, UK, grandsons Julian and Harrison, her son, Thomas Gregory of Burnaby, and numerous cousins in Colorado, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Texas. Although late in life, Marilyn was thrilled at being a devoted Granny. Her chagrin was the distance between Abbotsford and the UK. Marilyn was born in Upper Darby, PA, August 20, 1938. A graduate of Converse College, Spartanburg, SC, she taught High School in Pickens, SC. She was granted an M.A. in French at the University of Pennsylvania (1963). She taught at Clemson University prior to enrolling in a doctoral program in Comparative Literature at the University of Washington. She and her future husband, Paul, were graduate teaching assistants at UW. Marilyn and Paul were married in Pickens, SC August 10, 1968. They lived in Vancouver for a short period of time before moving to West Vancouver. Marilyn was a charter faculty member of Capilano College in the Counseling Department. Following completion of SFU’s PDP program, Marilyn taught first grade French Immersion, in Mission, BC, for a number of years before returning to teach high school French at Hatzic Secondary, until she retired. She was called affectionately as Madame Lamarre, or simply, Madame by her students. She was a talented and dedicated teacher. By the time Marilyn was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma, it had metastasized. She refused heroic measures and hospitalization. She opted for Home Palliative Care. Marilyn handled her situation with dignity and equanimity. Paul and Kelly were with her as she took her last breath. Donations in her memory may be made to the Abbotsford Holmberg House Hospice. Alternatively, to honor Marilyn’s love of learning and love of information, there will be an open-house at the family home, September 21, 2014 from 1 to 4 PM. To honor her love of reading, please bring a first grade, pleasure reading book, in French, as a donation to the French Immersion program in her memory. Check the memorial at www. hendersonsabbotsfordfunerals .com for further information. Friends, family, and former students are encouraged to sign the permanent digital guest book, upload comments and anecdotes, or add photos and music.
