The Salvation Army launched a pilot project for a pet-friendly shelter on Wednesday, in an effort to reduce the barriers to homeless people coming into the Centre of Hope facility on Gladys Avenue. At a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, Nate McCready, the community ministries director, said that not being a pet-friendly shelter kept some people from accessing services at Salvation Army. He said that for some homeless people, their pets keep them going. “You shouldn’t have to give your pet up to sleep inside.” McCready said that to their knowledge, it is the first pet-friendly pilot project for Salvation Army facilities in Canada. He explained that it took five months from the idea to getting Continued on A4

Cougar ‘a threat to human safety’ Animal venturing into residential areas Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Conservation officers are concerned about public safety following four cougar sightings in Abbotsford since Aug. 3. Don Stahl, a conservation officer with the B.C. Ministry of Environment, said officials are worried because the cougar (or cougars) has been venturing into residential areas and, in one case, killed several chickens in a backyard coop. Stahl said the cat has become a threat to human safety, and a trap has been to try to catch it live, after which it will be euthanized. “We’d rather have a dead cougar on our hands than a dead child,” Stahl said. Relocating the cougar is not the best option, Stahl said. He said once a wild animal becomes comfortable around humans and doesn’t see them as a threat, it is at risk to wander into campgrounds or residential areas anywhere. The first cougar sighting was reported Aug. 3 on the Discovery Trail where it joins Whatcom Road. The next sighting was Aug. 20 on Rathtrevor Court, a cul de sac west of Whatcom Road that backs onto a densely forested area. In that incident, the cougar was seen trying to attack some rabbits in an enclosure on a property. One of the residents yelled at the cat, and it ran back into the forest. Then, last Thursday (Sept. 4), the animal ventured onto a large property in the area of Whatcom and Old Yale Road. A man cutting his grass on a ride-on lawnmower locked eyes with the cougar, which then retreated into the nearby forest. The most recent sighting was on Tuesday in the area of Batt Road and Bakstad Road, located east of Upper Sumas Mountain Road. Residents of that property, a few days prior, had several chickens killed in their

Four sightings of a cougar since Aug. 4 have caused concern among conservation officers. backyard coop. Early Tuesday evening, one of the residents spotted the cougar outside of the coop. The woman and the cat looked at each other before the cougar ran off. Stahl said it’s likely that the sightings are all of the same cougar, which is described as full-grown and weighing about 100 pounds – about the size of a large dog. He said conservation officers receive up to 15 reports a year of cougar sightings in Abbotsford, but in most cases, no intervention is required. But a cougar coming near humans is at risk of attacking, Stahl said. He recommends that anyone coming across a cougar become aggressive and loud by yelling, screaming and throwing rocks and sticks, They should also maintain eye contact, pick up any small children, and back away slowly. They should not turn their back to the

cougar or run away, as this will trigger the cat’s “predator-prey response.” “The only thing that runs is food,” Stahl said. He said in the event of an attack, do everything you can to get away, including using anything available as a weapon, and do not “play dead.” Any sighting should immediately be reported to the Ministry of Environment’s Conservation Officer Service at 1-877-9527277. Stahl said a cougar can easily be distinguished from the smaller and harmless bobcat by its tail. A cougar’s tail is about two or three feet long, while a bobcat has a short, stubby tail of four to six inches. More tips about cougar safety are available on the Ministry of Environment website at env.gov.bc.ca (click on the “Conservation Officer Service” link and then “wildlife/human interaction”).

the project launched. He said if it goes well, it may be encouraged in other Salvation Army locations. He said by allowing people with pets to come inside, they are able to connect with both the pets and owners. The Centre of Hope also received donations for the project. They were given a kennel by Buckerfield’s, a dog house from Hero Dog Houses and supplies from the SPCA to help provide care for the animals, but McCready said the animals will also be able to stay alongside their owners

in the shelter. The centre will have an ongoing partnership with the SPCA as well as assistance from local veterinarian Dr. Kelly O’Blenis of Bakerview Pet Hospital. McCready also thanked the city for supporting the idea. He said they also hope to hold a pet day, where services can be provided to those who cannot afford to bring their animals to a vet. He said that donations to support the pilot project will be accepted. To contact the Centre of Hope call 604-8529305 or visit www.careandshare.ca.

The Salvation Army shelter can now accommodate clients’ pets. ALEX BUTLER Abbotsford News

Missing man’s body found

Tim Rutherford’s SUV went off embankment

STUDENT!

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The body of an Abbotsford man who was last seen in Hope on Aug. 24 has been found. Tim Rutherford, 46, was found by search and rescue teams on Sunday evening in the Jones Lake area, confirms friend Angie Korkowski. She said it appears that Rutherford hit a soft shoulder while driving his Ford Explorer SUV in an off-road area, and the vehicle rolled about 200 feet. Rutherford had been camping in the Jones Lake area of Hope since mid-August and was last seen by a camp ranger at about 1 p.m. on Aug. 24, when he was parked at the Jones Lake pull-out near the Highway 1 exit 153.

“Tim touched so many lives, helped so many people with their recovery. He was passionate and kind. He was like a brother to me in my darkest days … I’m just glad we brought him home,” Korkowski said. Rutherford is listed on the Joshua House website as a house facilitator. His biography indicates that he turned to alcohol and drugs at an early age to escape an abusive past, but he had been clean and sober since 2006. “Joshua House has allowed me to use my God given gifts here. I’ve never felt so at peace and content as I do now,” he stated in the writeup. Details on Rutherford’s memorial service have not yet been finalized.

B.C. Views The B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s vote in favour of binding arbitration on selected pocketbook issues of its members is going nowhere. This follows months of the union’s insistence on mediation. First a B.C. Supreme Court judge met with both sides and walked away. Then the BCTF’s preferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that mediation won’t fix the current version of the mess he last examined in 2007. BCTF president Jim Iker announced the arbitration gambit last Friday in one of the webcasts he uses to rally the union’s exhausted membership. Education Minister Peter Fassbender replied that with five minutes’ notice to the government’s chief negotiator and lacking specifics on what would be subject to arbitration, the proposal would forfeit the government’s mandate to control costs.

“This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public sector has done,” Fassbender said. In short, there will be a negotiated settlement, eventually. The union chose to begin the strike, and now must find a way to end it. The government’s position in this dispute is unlike any of the many that preceded it. And it points the way to an evolution of education that cannot be stopped. The announcement of a $40-a-day payment for days lost during a fall strike for children under 13 was greeted with scorn by the BCTF and its echo chambers. Parents won’t be bribed, they want school, not daycare, it’s an insult, went the refrain. Before the first week of the fall strike was over, nearly two-thirds of eligible parents had enrolled, faced with pickets

at their schools and real and mounting child care and tutoring costs. The union executive said members who are parents should refuse the money. Some B.C. teachers have begun advertising tutoring services online. With distance learning and other online education options expanding in all 60 public school districts, the digital revolution is unfolding quickly. The B.C. government made a couple of announcements in April, one about moving to digital versions of textbooks and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and postsecondary schools. Growth of options accelerates. Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learn-

ing experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.” One of B.C.’s early models for selfdirected learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time. It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course. Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year. In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule. “Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said. In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

Local board of education represented by BCPSEA An open letter from the Abbotsford Board of Education to our Community: The Abbotsford Board of Education acknowledges the negative impact in our district and across the province as a result of the current impasse in the labour dispute between the British Columbia Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) and the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF). It has been widely felt in our community where high standards of education are the prevailing norm. We are deeply concerned with the impact job action is having on our students, their families, our staff, and the community at large. We have tremendous respect for the work of our teachers and support staff, and recognize the critical role they play in the education of our students. We have heard

Where do we go from here? Re: Teachers’ strike Where do we go from here? What about our children and youth? Being an octogenarian, I no longer have children or grandchildren in the school system, but still feel frustration and pain for the situation they find themselves in. What are we teaching our young people? Confrontation without considering the situation from both sides resolves disagreements? There must be give and take. Winning is important, but doing your best while being fair and showing your opponent respect is more important. My feeling is that teachers should not be in a union, but a professional association. Professional, dedicated teachers can adapt to just about

be resolved through negotiations at the bargaining table. We maintain our statutory duty during labour disputes and respect the work of BCPSEA (our authorized bargaining agent) in labour negotiations. We are in regular and ongoing communication with both BCPSEA and BCSTA (British Columbia School Trustee Association) as we navigate the current labour negotiations with the ultimate goal of immediate resolution. Schools are far more than places of learning to our children and the community. The places we call school are central to the health and well-being of our society. It remains our hope for all concerned that we can get back to providing the world class education that has been the hallmark of our district. On behalf of the Abbotsford Board of Education, Ms. Cindy Schafer, board chair

from community members and staff about the effect the current job action is having on their lives and the pressure this uncertainty has created. We understand the frustrations and are concerned for all those affected by this situation. This disruption is especially unsettling when there appears to be no solution in sight. Our board has been asked about our role in the dispute and what we have done in support of reaching a positive resolution. As employers, Boards of Education are legally represented by BCPSEA (our authorized bargaining agent). This structure is not unlike our local teachers ADTA (Abbotsford District Teachers Association) who are represented by the BCTF at the provincial level. The Abbotsford Board of Education believes a resolution to the current labour dispute would best

any given situation, getting positive results. Yes, they will even spend extra time without pay if they feel it is needed. A dedicated, highly motivated teacher, and students who want to learn: “How high is up?” The government seems to be taking a bad rap for its part of the negotiations. The government was elected at a time the economy was a real concern and they promised to run a no-deficit budget which they are still trying to do. The talk about arbitration will not solve the stalemate. Are we going to allow an individual to dictate to an elected government? I think not. The government represents all British Columbians and should be given our thanks. Eric Myrholm, Abbotsford

Let’s speak out to return to school Who wants to go back to school? Almost every kid, every parent, and every teacher in British Columbia. I feel that we have been away from school because of the strike long enough. I am ready to learn more strategies in reading, writing and math. I miss talking in French with my classmates and my teacher. And not to forget choir, gym class, library and being active with my

Storage facility not the first thing visitors should see

friends outside. In school, we learn to problem-solve. Why can’t the government and the BCTF figure this out peacefully and quickly? Both sides are saying that kids’ education comes first. So show us you mean it. I have been feeling upset long enough. Let’s speak out to return to school! Olivia de Wit, age 9, Abbotsford

Our government is spending millions of dollars to relieve the traffic congestion which regularly occurs on Sumas Way caused by long lineups of vehicles waiting to cross the border into the United States. Are we going to allow the erection of a three-storey storage facility which will only add to that congestion? There should be nothing on those lands below 4th Ave. except

for a way to get traffic to and from the border more efficiently. I think this council should have a very close look at this plan. It makes no sense to us at all. Not only do we not need the extra traffic this would bring, but do we really want this building to be the first thing visitors see when entering our city from the south.

Three-storey storage proposed for Third Ave Council is set to review policy on financial aid Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

A proposal for a three-storey storage unit at Sumas Way and Third Avenue was a cause for concern from a neighbouring resident at a public hearing on Monday. Brian Frankish, who lives nearby, said there’s a congestion problem at the Sumas border crossing and traffic is often backed up to Fourth Avenue. He said he has concerns about access to the site for people who want to get to the storage lockers and adding to the border traffic. Frankish added that there are no other threestorey buildings in the area, and in talking with neighbours, he said a two-storey building would be more in keeping with the neighbourhood. Darren Braun said the proposal needs provincial approval due to the plans for road widening near the border. Jim Gordon, the city’s director of engineering, said the ministry of transport currently sees the project as a benefit. In an open letter to mayor and council, Jim and

Pat Hanna, who also live nearby, shared concerns about the project adding to traffic congestion near the border when the government is spending millions on a project to relieve traffic in the area. Council deferred a decision on the project to a later meeting. The $25-million project to upgrade Highway 11, improve border traffic and build an overpass across Vye Road was supposed to be completed in 2016. The project has been delayed due to ongoing negotations with the province and rail companies.

Fraser Valley Regional District likely to follow, Abbotsford will draft a bylaw to institute composting for local businesses. The city has had a residential compost program since January 2013, which diverted an estimated 11,000 tonnes of organic waste in its first year. A program for the industrial, commercial and institutional sectors is already underway. Council voted on Monday to draft a bylaw for the food service and processing sector. The idea has already gone through preliminary consultation with the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, waste haulers and food sector businesses. There will be additional consultation on the draft bylaw in later 2014 and early 2015 and the proposed bylaw is anticipated to come to council in early next year.

Tax exemption OK’d for MCC; policy under review Council set to revisit guidelines for financial aid Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

The Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) will receive a tax exemption in 2015 for its new centre on Gladys Avenue for $76,000 – an estimated $60,000 more than in previous years due to the value of the land on which its new facility is being built. While the city will review its policy for giving financial aid in early 2015, the decisions on next year’s tax exemptions must be approved by the end of October. Council voted on Monday to extend ex-

that as the MMC previously qualified, he was in support of transferring the full exemption, adding that the whole issue of which organizations will receive exemptions will be reviewed next year. Coun. Dave Loewen said that when MMC was originally approved for an exemption, it was not tied to the property, but “to the work that they do.” City staff also recommended that council deny new applications for 2015 exemptions from four local groups: BC Teen Challenge, the

emptions to groups that have previously qualified, such as the Legion. With MCC set to move by the end of the year, the organization asked the city to transfer their exemption to the larger and more valuable new location. The MCC currently receives an exemption of about $16,872, which city staff recommended be the amount transferred to the new property. Council had the option of providing a full exemption to the new location, valued at about $76,000. Coun. John Smith said

Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley Gleaners Society and the Red Cross Help Depot. Coun. Henry Braun said he thought council should approve the requests, as some of the groups deal with marginalized citizens. Coun. Patricia Ross said approving only some requests creates an inequity among groups that provide similar services. Loewen said while he agreed with the sentiments of Braun and Ross, he is concerned about approving more exemptions because there may be many groups interested in the tax break in the future. While the full exemption for MCC was approved, the decision on exemptions for the four local groups was deferred until Oct. 6 so staff can come back with dollar figures on the impact.

Bus drivers ratify Abbotsford transit drivers represented by CUPE Local 561 have ratified a four-year agreement. CUPE 561, representing 150 transit drivers for the City of Abbotsford who work for the bus company First Canada, ratified an agreement that will see two per cent wage increases for each year plus an additional one per cent for Handydart drivers in the first year. In April, members voted 94 per cent in favour of a strike mandate but no strike materialized. At that time the union called for wage parity for drivers of smaller buses, like Handydarts, with drivers of larger buses in the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver. Under the new contract, all wages are fully retroactive and the tiered wage schedule has been eliminated.

Complaint of poor farming practices Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

The city will file a complaint with the BC Farm Industry Review Board (BCFIRB) requesting a farmer pay the costs to clean ditches, which were filled by blowing soil from their property. Council voted on Monday to file the complaint against the property owner of 39964 Campbell Rd. to pay the additional costs to the city – $5,200 – to clean the ditches, which a city report says was caused by poor farming practices. The property owner was asked to pay and

declined. Early in the year, Sumas Prairie experienced strong winds that filled in a ditch on Campbell Road, which a city report says was due to a lack of a cover crop being planted after cash crops were harvested in the fall, and other mitigation methods. The city says this is a problem associated with poor farming practices which cause soil erosion. Though the problem isn’t widespread, it has occurred on a few properties that rent out land for cash crops. While the Sumas Prairie Dyking,

D ra i n a g e and Irrigation (SPDDI) committee suggests developing a city bylaw to prevent soil erosion, it says it’s difficult to create a bylaw related to farming practices, which are governed by the provincial Right to Farm Act, unless it directly impacts the drainage or irrigation systems. Rob Isaacs, city director of wastewater and engineering, said that one question they hope will be answered through the BCFIRB process would be whether the issue falls under the Right to Farm Act. If

the BCFIRB decides the farmer used poor farming practices, the city could consider bylaws. If the city is successful, the farmer would be ordered to pay the costs and it would set an example. Coun. Moe Gill said some farmers take their crops out late in the year and when they do plant a cover crop, it doesn’t grow enough to prevent the erosion, which he said can be an issue. But he added that if a ditch is filled by a farm owner there should be a policy so the city isn’t spending money on cleaning the ditches.

Plea for tips in Mill Lake Park robbery

Abbotsford News Friday, September 12, 2014

CELEBRATING 5 YEARS OF ENTERTAINMENT

Police seek information about incident on Aug. 18 ABBOTSFORD

Vikki HOPES

Centre

Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Police Department is appealing for tips in a robbery that took place at Mill Lake Park last month. Const. Paul Walker said the department has received little information regarding the incident on Aug. 18 which was reported in the media the following day. At about 7:45 p.m. that day, two women – one in her 40s and the other in her 80s who uses a walker – began walking around the park. The women were near the Bevan Avenue parking lot at about 8:50 p.m., preparing to leave, when they were suddenly approached by two young men wearing hoodies and bandanas covering the lower portion of their faces. The men pointed what were believed to be handguns at the women and demanded their valuables. The thieves got away with a cellphone, a small amount of cash and a fanny pack and ran toward the intersection of Bevan Avenue and Ware Street. The suspects are both described as South Asian males, 17 to 20 years old. One was 5’ 10” to six feet tall and about 150 pounds. He was wearing a dark hoodie, a dark bandana and white checkered pants. The other was about six feet tall and 160 pounds. He was wearing a light-coloured hoodie and a dark bandana. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225, text 222973 (abbypd) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477. The incident is not connected to three other robberies and assaults that took place in Mill Lake Park on June 9, June 21 and Aug. 5. The suspects in those attacks were all Caucasian men. It is also not related to the discovery of the body of a 36-year-old Mission woman, who was found July 30 in a forested area of the park at Emerson Street and Bevan Avenue. The cause of death has not yet been released in that case, pending toxicology results, but it has not been declared a murder.

Call for moms-to-be Paired with UFV nursing students

Mothers-to-be in the Fraser Valley are once again invited to help a UFV nursing student learn about pregnancy and childbirth from the patient’s perspective. Women having their babies at Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Surrey Memorial, Ridge Meadows, Peace Arch, Langley Memorial or Royal Columbian hospitals are eligible for this program. UFV nursing students have had the opportunity to shadow a pregnant woman through doctor visits, prenatal classes, labour and delivery, and the postnatal period through the program over the past two decades. The students complete this component of the program while they study the theory of maternity nursing and before they take clinical training in maternity wards. The range of prenatal experiences the student may be involved with include a visit to the doctor, a prenatal class, providing support for the expectant parents during labour and delivery, and a visit afterwards. For more information, or to volunteer, call UFV Health Sciences toll free at 1-888-504-7441.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD A capacity crowd of over 6,200 was treated to a stunning performance by country superstar Carrie Underwood on May 23, 2013 at the Abbotsford Centre. The star wowed the audience with a two-hour solo set that drew a wide array of spectators from young teens to senior citizens. The Abbotsford show was the final stop on the year-long “Blown Away” tour that saw Underwood play over 100 dates world-wide. Underwood opened the show with “Good Girl”, and throughout the night featured hits off of her

2012 platinum-selling album, “Blown Away”, as well as her “Some Hearts” and “Play On” albums. During the show, Underwood announced that one dollar from every ticket sold would go toward the Red Cross and proudly noted that her tour had donated in excess of $1 million. If that wasn’t enough excitement, the Abbotsford Centre also welcomed the One Millionth Fan into the building that night! The lucky fan was rewarded with a prize pack that included a commemorative ticket autographed by Underwood.

Mennonite museum groundbreaking A groundbreaking was held for the Mennonite Heritage Museum, located on Clearbrook Road near Highway 1, on Thursday. The museum, which will include an agricultural education centre, is expected to open in fall of 2015. The goals of the museum are to engage present and future generations with the Mennonite story through a variety of mediums, including permanent and temporary exhibits, films and interactive digital displays. The education centre will illustrate the ways in which Mennonites have used agriculture to not only feed themselves but to feed the hungry throughout the world. There will also be agricultural activities carried out on the property.

“Did Jesus Exist?” will be the topic of a debate, presented by the Fraser Valley Atheists Skeptics and Humanists, along with the B.C. Humanists, on Saturday, Sept. 20. The issue of whether Jesus Christ existed, and whether he is a historical figure or a myth, will be debated by two experts in their fields. Dr. Richard Carrier has written a book entitled On the Historicity of Jesus, which proposes an origin of Christianity without a historical Jesus. Michael Horner, is a philosopher who promotes and defends Christianity on university and college campuses and lectures and debates to provide arguments for the Christian faith. The event will be held at the Abbotsford campus of UFV, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Room B101, with overflow seating available. General admission for the event is $5 and is free for seniors and students. More information can be found at www.fvash. com and tickets can be purchased at http://bit. ly/1pEJuof.

Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask! Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent. Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home. Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold. This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-

served for the real estate agents and their clients. This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home. To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811. This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.

Communitas celebrates 40 years Supporting people with disabilities

Nearly 600 people gathered at Mill Lake Park in Abbotsford on Saturday, Sept. 6 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Communitas Supportive Care Society. Staff, families and clients enjoyed a barbecue meal, mingled and shared memories of an organization that has provided support for people living with disabilities. On display was a visual timeline created by Jonathan Goertz that tells the story of Communitas using drawings, and banners made by each Communitas home and program were hung throughout the area.

gether with pastors P. D. Loewen and Henry Born, responded to parents who were looking for a way to support their adult children living with disabilities. Friesen reminded those gathered at the event that an organization with a rich 40-year history doesn’t just happen without the work of many. “We stand on the shoulders of those who saw a need and responded to it,” she said. Communitas began in the 1970s with the vision of a group of parents who had adult children living with disabilities. These parents recognized that their children would outlive them and were concerned about how they would be cared for. Reluctant to place their children into institutions, they established the Samaritan Society for Comfort and Cheer and approached the Mennonite Central Committee BC for help in establishing a group home where their children would be cared for in a loving and nurturing home environment. The first group home, The Cedars, was established in 1974. Communitas supports people living with disabilities in more than 40 programs and homes in the Valley, Vancouver, Vancouver Island and the Okanagan. For more information, visit CommunitasCare. com

TOP NOTCH EASTSIDE NEIGHBOURHOOD $434,800

As we leave summer behind and look towards fall, when we think of Real Estate it’s typically considered the 2nd ‘season’ for selling properties. While a large percentage of buying & selling homes takes place in the Spring, the Fall can also be a good time to try and sell while the yard still looks nice and to make a decision to purchase before Winter and the Christmas season sets in. But even though the conditions are right, it’s still important to really have your home ‘market’ ready as well as to price it right. If you’d like to meet with me for a no-obligation evaluation of your home, whether it’s a small 1 bdrm condo or a large house on an acreage, or maybe you just have some basic questions about Real Estate, I’d love to put my over 23 years of experience to work for you.

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

Pilots primed for season

Veteran forward Brady Lawlor (20) will serve as captain of the Abbotsford Pilots this season. The local junior B hockey club hosts its home opener tonight vs. the Delta Ice Hawks (7:30 p.m., MSA Arena).

Home opener tonight vs. Delta Ice Hawks Jim Cowden approaches building projects with the enthusiasm of a youngster opening a new box of Lego, and that’s a great thing for the Abbotsford Pilots. This season, perhaps more than any other in recent memory, the local junior B hockey club is undergoing an extreme roster makeover. Seven of the Pilots’ top 10 scorers from last season’s team which finished second at the Western Canadian Championship, and both of their goalies, are departed – either graduating from junior eligibility or moving on to higher levels of hockey. Cowden, the Pilots’ longtime head coach, has a full complement of forwards, but just five defencemen and one goalie signed as the team embarks on the Pacific Junior Hockey League regular season this week. But he’s OK with that, preferring to wait until Western Hockey League and junior A teams make their cuts and filling out his roster at that point. And at the end of the day, it’s hard to imagine the Pilots won’t be where they always seem to be in the spring – contending for the PJHL title. “We never rebuild, we just retool,” Cowden said. “I’m not going to panic . . . I have a couple things in the fire, but you’ve got to wait until players come down from junior A and the WHL. “We’ll be OK at the end of the day.” The 2014-15 edition of the Pilots will be led by veteran forward Brady Lawlor, who will wear the captain’s C. He boasts a rare ability to generate offence (17 goals and 16 assists in 42 games last season) and play with a truculent edge (165 penalty minutes, third-most in the PJHL). “He’s a competitor, and he’s vocal and good in the dressing room,” Cowden said. Lawlor will be joined up front by the likes of returnees Kolten Grieve (21 goals, 31 assists for 52 points last season) and Colton Cowden (1210-22), and new acquisitions Devan Vander

Wyk and Mitchell Plevy, both of whom played junior A last year. Kellan Lavallee and Joel Balzer anchor the defence, while Jacob Crawford is the man in

the crease. Crawford, who played for the Port Moody Panthers last season, was outstanding on Wednesday as the Pilots

A hole-in-one is a rare and coveted event, and some golfers go their entire career without making one. Those people would probably hate Paul Teillet. The 61-year-old recently made aces on consecutive days at Ledgeview Golf and Country Club – a feat of phenomenal improbability, considering various estimates on the odds of making a hole-in-one on a given swing range from 5,0001 at the low end of the scale to 45,000-1 at the high end.

Paul Teillet hit a hole-in-one at Ledgeview on Aug. 19, and aced another on Aug. 20. “They usually come every once in a while, but they’ve been coming in a little bit of a cluster

YOU and the LAW STEPS IN A PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT If you’ve been injured in a car accident, you’ll want to know about how a personal injury lawsuit proceeds. Here’s a brief primer. When you first see your lawyer, he or she will question you about all the relevant facts. Then your lawyer may start your lawsuit by filing a Notice of Civil Claim in Supreme Court. Personal injury claims must usually be started within two years of the accident. ICBC is typically involved in any injury claim arising out of the use of a motor vehicle in British Columbia. They’ll file a Response to Civil Claim on behalf of the owner and/or driver of the vehicle that collided with you.

Next, both sides usually prepare a list of the documents in their possession relating to the claim. All relevant documents – whether they help or hurt your claim – must be listed, and copies are typically exchanged. This includes any statements you made to ICBC and records obtained from your employer or doctors who treated you for your injuries.

This involves the opposing lawyer questioning you under oath about the facts in issue in the lawsuit. If ICBC agrees that the other driver was at fault, then the questions will focus on your injuries – how the pain affected your life, how long you were off work for, etc. If fault isn’t admitted, you’ll also be asked about how the accident happened and your lawyer will question the other driver about the cause of the accident. A court reporter records the proceedings and produces a “transcript” or record of each person’s sworn evidence.

In many cases, expert medical reports are exchanged. Your lawyer will likely obtain a written opinion from your doctor or doctors concerning the nature of your injuries and likely future progress of recovery. ICBC, acting for the defendant vehicle owner and/or driver, may also require you to be examined by a doctor of their choosing.

Often, before a trial, the lawyers need to ask the court to decide how certain aspects of the lawsuit should be handled. You won’t need to be present, as the lawyers read “affidavits” (sworn legal documents) and other documents to present the evidence at these “interim applications.” Negotiation and “settlement” (an agreement as to the amount of money the insurance company will pay you) typically take place after the examinations for discovery. By then, both lawyers usually have a good idea of the strengths and weaknesses of your claim. In some cases, mediation may be arranged, where you and the lawyers meet with an independent mediator to see if a mutually agreeable resolution can be reached. Only a very small percentage of cases go to trial. Be patient, as the process takes time. Your lawyer will be by your side throughout and help obtain the best compensation for you.

cap who won the Ledgeview club championship in 2009, retired this year and plays about five rounds a week. His ridiculous run of aces began on Tuesday, Aug. 19. Standing at the tee box at Ledgeview’s 180yard 11th hole, Teillet took note of the back right hole location – the toughest possible placement, above a ridge in the middle of the green. “I had a choice between my six-iron and my four-iron,” said Teillet, who doesn’t carry a five-iron in his bag. “I was going to go with my six . . . but at the last minute, I walked back to my bag and took my four-iron. “It hit right into the bank in the middle of the green and trickled onto the top level.” Golf tradition dictates that a player who makes a hole-in-one buys a round of drinks, and Teillet was fortunate with his first ace – two of his playing partners were teetotalers. He wasn’t so lucky with the next one, which came on men’s night at Ledgeview and cost him about $130. He found the cup on the 203-yard eighth hole, and wasn’t immediately aware it had gone in due to the long shadows over the green. “Because we were all talking about the holein-one the day before, you’re happy but you’re almost embarrassed, you know what I mean?” he said. “There’s a fair amount of luck to any hole-in-one.” Teillet now has eight holes-in-one to his name, four of which have come during the last 11 months. In an odd twist, Barclay Neilson was on hand for each of the last three. “I’ve probably only played 10 games with the guy this year, so it’s been pretty bizarre,” Teillet said with a chuckle.

Cascades crush competition at PacWest golf opener The University of the Fraser Valley golf teams triumphed by every possible metric last weekend at the Kwantlen Invitational Tournament, the first event of the PacWest season. The Cascades combined to win the men’s team gold; women’s team gold; individual men’s gold, silver, and bronze; and the individual women’s gold and silver. The team victory extends the men’s winning streak to five PacWest tournaments stretching back to October

2012, while the women have yet to suffer a conference loss in the two-year history of the program. Both teams swept to victory at the PacWest and Canadian Colleges Athletic Association championships last season. On the men’s side, Connor O’Dell played his way to a firstplace individual finish, tallying 135 (nine under par) over the two-day tournament. He

narrowly edged teammates Zachary Olson (140) and Aaron Pauls (141), who took second and third respectively. The UFV women competed without last year’s PacWest female folfer of the year and CCAA All-Canadian Dani Shap, who is pursuing a professional golf career, yet still dominated the field. Second-year Cascade Kelley Dalzell picked up the first gold of her career, shoot-

ing a combined 157, while teammate Jen Woods finished two back at 159 to grab second place. The women’s team finished a full ten strokes ahead of their nearest competitors, the UBC-Okanagan Heat. “We worked really hard preparing for this first event, and it was nice to see that work pay off,” said Cascades coach Chris Bertram. “The competition in PacWest has gotten better once again this year, so we are going to need to keep working hard in the weeks ahead.”

If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy!

A sleek and peppy roadster for the people by Alexandra Straub

Looking at the specs, it doesn’t seem too impressive. A 1.6-litre engine, 116 horsepower, 100 lb-ft of torque, a 0-100 km/h time of less than nine seconds,

14-inch tires. Heck, my bicycle has bigger rubbers! Okay, maybe not. But 25 years ago, the Mazda Miata was a product of those numbers. It wasn’t necessarily endowed in the engine department. However, the two-door roadster did have everything else on its side. A sleek design, a peppy personality, a brilliant red coat and something that other cars have strived to

achieve in their two-door roadsters over the years but have fallen short – longevity. At a quarter century old, the Miata/MX-5 has achieved incredible success. Close to a million of these drop tops have been sold worldwide. The Miata/MX5 holds a Guinness Book of World Records title of as most successful two-seat convertible roadster in his-

tory. Not bad for a car that packs in so many thrills for under $30K. Over the years, the front-engine, rear-wheel drive car continued to encourage the masses to drive topless. Whether through a rag or hardtop, this specimen of automotive manufacturing and design allowed people to feel the proverbial wind in their hair within seconds. I felt it as a kid as my mom

2015 Mazda MX-5.

was lucky enough to be one of the first Miata owners in BC when they came out in 1989 – a red one, of course – and took me out for rides frequently. Those memories have stayed with me over the decades, though I’ve been able to form my own bond with the car. Not only have we (meaning, the various MX-5s I’ve driven in the last in 11 years) put down thousands of kilometres together, we’ve also been paired up at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the Skip Barber Racing School experience a couple of times. Nostalgia is one popular element of its appeal, but there’s an undeniable fun factor. Whether racing it on a track or just taking it to the grocery store, the first turn you carve in it will rope you in like an infomercial in the wee hours of the night when you can’t sleep. But in the case of the MX-5,

language. This two-seater also comes with sexy character lines from its four corners. Furthermore, up front, you’ll notice its headlights that look like they’re eyeing its prey; unlike the first generation’s pop up/down headlights that were more than welcoming. Like with all-new models of anything legendary, there will be a polarizing reception. Some might think it’s too radical. Some might fall immediately in love with it. And some will wait to drive it to make up their mind. Regardless of the way it looks – which certainly helps its cause – it’s really about how you feel on the road, behind the wheel, and when you tuck it in at night. More details about the MX-5 are scheduled to be released at this year’s Paris Auto Show. Either way, I can’t wait to drive it. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

you won’t have any buyer’s remorse. Fast-forward through the years and you’re now viewing the fourth generation MX-5. And what better way to welcome the roadster to the stage here in California than via a little band called Duran Duran. And through a live satellite stream that was broadcast here, and abroad in Spain and Japan. The reasoning? – Both the English music group and the roadster came into popularity in the 80s and continued to succeed and grow in status over the decades. Besides, “Rio” is an incredibly catchy tune to dance to! That said the MX-5 has a new, eye-catching look to it. Not many specs have been released though I can tell you this: it’s lower, wider, and sheds 100kg in the making. It also embodies the KODO or “Soul of Motion” design

by Ian Harwood

When I first started my career in the off-road and truck accessory business I was a young and impressionable 18-year-old. I was impressed with some of the successful off-road shops in the US but I wondered how they had become so succeeded in business. One that came to mind was Midwest FourWheel-Drive & Performance Centre, owned by Bob Chandler, creator of the legendary Bigfoot monster trucks. Back then large offroad tires for pickups were not available; this forced Bob to think outside the box and looked to the agriculture industry. He bought a set of 48” tall Firestone tires and along with some custom made wheels, he mounted them onto his truck. People from all over the United States started talking about his truck. He was invited to car shows and tractor pulls and that started drawing attention from the four wheel drive magazines. His shop also started to grow rather quickly with all the new interests in 4x4 modifications. I was looking through one of those magazines and saw a small picture taken from just outside the shop bay door. It was his truck with 66” tall Goodyear tires. I remember thinking he was crazy. After that the monster truck craze began. I was fortunate enough to meet Bob at a trade show in Las Vegas. His truck was there on display and he was outside sitting at a table having lunch. I approached him, not recognizing him in his cowboy hat and asked if the spare seat was taken. A very nice man, he shared with me some of his frustrations with parts breaking and how he ended up custom building a lot of parts in his own shop. Other people started building their own trucks and soon side-byside competition began. There were crazy names for these trucks such as; Goliath, Taurus, King-Kong, Grave Digger, and Samson. It was a big thrill for many just to see these trucks drive slowly over some junk cars. They would stop in the middle and get out a wave. Soon fans wanted to see more, so the trucks would pop a wheelie before crushing them. Two cars became eight and then buses. I saw Taurus drive up several cars and onto the roof of two double decker buses. The truck came very close to rolling off, but after a

Fall for Audi

by Zack Spencer

Differing definitions of luxury in the automotive market are truly reflected in the eyes of the beholder. To one person, it might be having all the refinements and gadgets available in a modern car, accompanied with a smooth and quiet ride. To another buyer it might just be about the name on the front of the car. For many it’s a combination of both. Enter the new K900 luxury sedan from Kia. It has all the refinement and features found in cars with a longer pedigree in the luxury space but this car is offered at a discount. Well, after a week-long trip with my family I’m more impressed with Kia than I have been before but the realist in me knows Kia isn’t a luxury brand, at least not yet. Looks The K900 is an unfortunate name, it begs the question

is this a dog? No, it is a fullsize car about the same size as a 7-series from BMW or S-Class from Mercedes Benz. The K900 is based on the same platform as the Hyundai Equus but differs in price and content. For a full-sized car with limo-like dimensions, the K900 starts at a remarkable $49,995 for the V6 model and $60,995 for the V6 premium model. The top V8 model is $69,995. The styling is

strong, especially the top V8 model seen here with LED headlamps and taillights and very North American looking chrome multi-spoke wheels. The rear doors are huge and Kia has done but good job of keeping the proportions of the car in

K900 looks like a million bucks. The front and rear seats came with ventilation and V8 models have a rear seat reclining feature. Despite spending countless hours behind the wheel traveling with two children in the back, the car offered

a very relaxing ride for the passengers, and the kids especially liked the cooled seats on a very hot day. The centre infotainment screen is controlled with a rotary dial in between the front passengers and is very similar to Audi’s MMI system. Drive The V6 model comes with the very competent 3.8L engine that puts out 311hp. Having tried this in other Hyundai/ Kia products, it is smooth and powerful. The V8 is superb, with 420hp coming from a 5.0L V8, there is no lack of power. The shift in the auto industry is to smaller engines that utilize turbo charging but Kia is sticking with good old engine displacement to get the job done. Covering more than 1,000 km, the real world fuel economy was 12L/100km on the highway. To say that the K900 is smooth is quite an understatement, I would put this car up against the new S-Class from Mercedes and a blindfolded passenger would have a hard time distinguishing the difference. What does become apparent is the K900’s lack

OBITUARIES

THE APARTMENTS AT MENNO PLACE

FOUR INDEPENDENT LIVING APARTMENT BUILDINGS COOKMAN Ruth Marian Born April 14, 1918 Beverly (Edmonton) Died September 3, 2014

Ruth was raised with depression era prairie values where family and community were paramount. She met life with a stoic determination and a strong sense of duty. She did not shy away from adversity or drama, rather meeting life head on with pragmatic resolve. Never lamenting a lack of resources Ruth chose to simply get on with life and on with what needed to be done. Her sense of humour was larger than life; clever, witty, academic and intact until the very end. Ruth was a very giving person, caring for her invalid mother until she was 29 and volunteering to the community (Rebecca Lodge, Hospital Auxiliary, Anglican Church) while giving her all to her family and grandchildren. Ruth’s strong values were core to her family and friendships; she was a pillar in her family her entire life and made friends for life. She set a high standard and expected nothing less from those she was close to. She travelled extensively, survived cancer and lastly dementia. Ruth was predeceased by her siblings (Tom Hedges, Catherine Wotherspoon), husband Cookie (1977), son Joseph (1953) and grandson Richard (2008). Survived by son John (Judith), grandson Abraam (Maude) and great grandchildren Patrick and Olivia. A Funeral Service will be held October 18, 2014 at All Saints Anglican Church, Mission at 2:00 PM. LICHTI, Gerhard Gerhard Lichti passed into the presence of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday September 7, 2014. He is survived by his wife, Frieda Lichti, one brother and one sister, five sons and their spouses, 26 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren. Funeral service will be held at Langley Evangelical Free Church on September 13, 2014 at 1 pm and internment to follow at Langley Lawn Cemetery. Family wants all who knew him to feel welcome to come and share their memories with them.

FOWLE Ethel Eileen July 12, 1941 ~ Aug. 28, 2014

It’s with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. Born July 12, 1941 in Mission, BC to Grant and Mary Reddeman, passed quietly August 28, 2014.
