Celebration of life

From A1

months’ pregnant with her second child, said the family was hoping to have those answers months ago, and she feels like they are being strung along. “It makes me feel untrusting of the police and of the whole investigation and of them doing their jobs,” she said. A man was arrested in connection with the incident shortly after it happened but he was released without charges. Police at the time said the residents of the Chilliwack home where Alexcia was in medical distress were not involved in her death. Jacqueline set up a roadside memorial in Abbotsford on Elmwood Drive near Discovery Trail in order to help her grieve. It was son private property, and the owners asked Jacqueline to take it down a few months ago. It is now located in Mission – at Dewdney Trunk Road and Cedar Street – because Jacqueline was born and raised in the community. Mission will also be the location this Saturday, Sept. 20 for what Jacqueline is calling Alexcia’s “angelversary.” The event will celebrate Alexcia’s short life with a potluck barbecue and a balloon release. It starts at 1 p.m. at Heritage Park in Mission, and everyone is welcome. Then, a rally is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 22 outside the Abbotsford courthouse at 32203 South Fraser Way, starting at 1 p.m., to pressure authorities to speed up the matter, Jacqueline said. Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound of IHIT said she understands the frustrations from families of victims in such instances. “The reality is that these types of investigations are complex and take time,” she said, adding that, at this time, the evidence does not support a homicide charge.

20-year-old former B.C. resident wanted in Washington

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A man wanted as a suspect in a homicide in Washington State was arrested here on Wednesday night. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said police arrested two men – ages 18 and 20 – at a hotel in central Abbotsford at about 8:45 p.m. He said local police were notified by the King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) and Canada Border Services Agency that a person wanted for a serious crime south of the border might be making his way into Abbotsford.

On Wednesday morning, they confirmed that Patterson had been arrested in B.C. and that the BMW had been recovered. Patterson’s Facebook page indicates he lived in Penticton, Westbank and Surrey, B.C. as a young child before moving to Sammamish in 1997 and then to Redmond, Wash. in 2012.

B.C. is fortunate to have some of the best and most highly trained Search and Rescue teams – Central Fraser Valley Search and Rescue Society in this case – in the world. And they’re all volunteers. Glad this ended well and thankful for our volunteers. Nik Venema This is one of the reasons to follow one’s local news media right here in Abbotsford, and their Twitter account.

Support for Agri-Centre I would like to express my support for the AgriCentre project. Abbotsford is an agricultural community and innovative projects like the Agri-Centre are few and far between. Sumas Way, where many of the existing equipment dealers are currently located, has too much traffic and commercial big-box development. For the naysayers in Abbotsford who don’t believe so much emphasis should be put on agricultural equipment, please look around. Every single farm requires equipment to operate and special expertise is required to ensure that it functions effectively. If Abbotsford wants to be known as a City in the County and an agricultural capital in Canada, projects like the Agri-Centre are necessary to promote our community and enhance the sector.

Objection to registration of an elector An objection to the registration of a person as an elector may only be made in writing by a person entitled to be registered as an elector of the City of Abbotsford; and only on the basis that the person whose name appears has died, or is not qualified to be registered as an elector of the City of Abbotsford. A written objection must be received by the Chief Election Officer before 4:00 pm, Friday, October 10, 2014.

Centre having previously worked in arenas in Dawson Creek, Kitchener, Ont., and Mississauga, Ont. – said the increased use of the arena by local groups mirrors brings the facility into line with arenas in other markets. “This was one of the first facilities that I’ve been at that hasn’t had that blend of community usage,” he said. “It’s a balance and a model that is quite common.” AMHA president Trevor Bamford said the organization has had to cap registration in certain divisions because of a lack of ice time. Now, with the Heat’s departure, the availability of ice time will expand from three or four hours a week, to more than 20, Bamford said. That will allow the AMHA to increase the number of developmental sessions it offers, and there are plans to move its offices and equipment to the arena. Ice time, he said, “is the one commodity in every city that’s scarce. But not in Abbotsford now.” There is also hope that more community use of the facility will increase the sense of ownership among Abbotsford residents. “When little kids and their parents come here, they’ll say, ‘This is our rink,’” Bamford said.

A inventory will list sites that have some historical significance and will help identify potential sites to add to the official community heritage register. Private owners of potentially historically significant properties will be able to list voluntarily. Council also approved the addition to the register the Great Northern Railway bridge site at Ellwood and Fishtrap Creek Park.

A project to build a three-storey storage unit at Sumas Way and Third Avenue was given third reading at council on Monday. Concerns had been raised by some neighbouring residents about the impact on traffic so near to the U.S. border. Coun. Les Barkman said the site is “the gateway to our country” and said he wanted to know if “this was the best we could do” for the site. The project was approved by council – only Coun. Les Barkman voted to deny the project – pending final approval.

Chambers seek to accommodate budding young entrepreneurs The way that Abbotsford is doing business is changing as more young entrepreneurs enter the marketing field. With customers who are younger, eager, and seeking more online platforms for purchase and communication, it is important that the community, as well as business organizations, remain in tune with the changing needs of the marketplace. President of the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, Mike Welte, says that if business is to survive, it will be adaptable to those changing needs. The chamber is responding to this new demographic of entrepreneurs by hosting events specifically geared to an under 40 demographic, and encouraging members to bring younger executives to participate in chamber events, on committees and on the board. “Young entrepreneurs are pacesetters, and attract other young businesses to the community. They identify Abbotsford as a place to make exciting things happen and they bring vitality, fresh ideas and energy to tackle old problems in new ways,” says Welte. When Darian Kovacs launched his digital marketing and PR firm, Jelly Marketing, in 2013, a key factor was his observa-

tion that brands were having a difficult time getting people to download their apps. Due to his forward-thinking and

he began his business seven years ago at the age of 27, he ran it from his basement. Now, Relevention is the largest agency in Abbotsford with 26 employees, and has grown to help numerous Abbots-

ford-based clients such as Silver Hills Bakery, RDM Lawyers, Lepp Farm Market, Globe Printers, Phantom Screens, Tiger Tool and others. As an active member of the chamber, Douglas has personally felt the positive impact of the chambers’ efforts to connect with younger audiences. “The chamber of commerce regularly goes above and beyond to help their members succeed,” he says. “Without the chamber, I don’t think our business would have had the start and success that we did.” Douglas believes another valuable resource is mentorship from established, experienced business leaders who are willing to take the time to coach young entrepreneurs. This also happens to be the message that Welte has for aspiring entrepreneurs. “A good mentor should be someone with a history of entrepreneurial successes and failures,” he says, “as they can act as a sounding board and provide support for someone starting out.” Other notable young entrepreneurs and members of the chamber include Stan Loewen of Rally Creative, Kristin VanVloten of Salvo Communications and Carlos Jiminez of First Page Marketing Inc.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

DIRECTORS Homelessness task

force calls for action

Mike Welte PRESIDENT

Brandon Kelley TREASURER

Joshua Bach

VICE PRESIDENT

Hilary Beard DIRECTOR

On September 8, Abbotsford City Council approved a draft homelessness action plan. The plan follows a “housing first” model with the ultimate goal of everyone in Abbotsford having a home. This action plan is the result of a task force that was created in March 2014 with the goal of creating a comprehensive community wide response to homelessness in Abbotsford. Members of the task force heard from service providers and citizens about the current challenges affecting the homeless in Abbotsford. The action plan consists of 5 key strategic directions: 1.) Facilitate a Housing First Approach 2.) Advocate for housing and wraparound support 3.) Initiate a Prevention Program 4.) Create a culture of awareness, inclusiveness and respect

Kenda Allen DIRECTOR

5.) Foster collaboration between agencies, community and government.

John MacDonald DIRECTOR

Under each one of the 5 key strategic directions are priority action items that

include more specific details of how the plan will be carried out. A few of the key elements are: 1.) Hiring an experienced housing and homelessness coordinator to create a one stop housing first system to coordinate housing and supports in our community. 2.) Lobby for an Assertive Community Treatment Team (ACT) that is funded by Fraser Health that provides intensive outreach and support to address the needs of the most vulnerable citizens. The Chamber was pleased to participate on this taskforce and to help produce an action plan for our community. A final version of the plan will come before council in October. With a situation this complex, we all need to proactively work together to address this issue. We look forward to seeing this plan become realty in the years to come. I am hopeful that, with this plan, we will move closer to the day where everyone in Abbotsford has a home.

Looking back 100 years with Great War Day University features defining moment in Canadian history This fall, the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) is looking back at a defining moment in Canadian history with Great War Day: Local Experiences and Legacies. The one-day event on Oct. 3 will feature memorabilia displays, historical artifacts, military or civilian representations, local memories and commemorative projects, and personal stories of the war that lasted from 1914 to 1918. “We seek to understand and appreciate the local legacies of the war by way of reflective exhibits, artistic or creative works, and academic interpretations,” said Ken Brealey, associate dean of arts at UFV, adding that the purpose of the event is “to learn about the war through the experiences of those who lived through it, at home and away, and to encourage critical reflection on the causes, conduct, and consequences of this catastrophic and transformative event.” “The core concept of Great War Day is not to inform the community in top-down fashion about the meaning of the war. Rather, the event is designed to allow individuals, families and the communities of the Fraser Valley to define the Great War in their own, often personal, ways,” said Robin Anderson, an associate professor of history at UFV. “The result should be an eclectic and very representative presen-

tation of the war that will include a public memorabilia display, open to anyone to share their family memories of the war.” Local museums and archives from Abbotsford, Mission

and Chilliwack will also be presenting their community’s experiences of the war. The free, public event will be held at the Envision Athletic Centre on the UFV Abbotsford campus.

Members of the public are also invited to participate as exhibitors. For more information go to ufv.ca/greatwarday, or contact Angela Reid at angela.reid@ ufv.ca or call 604-5574075.

UFV presents panel discussion on life in â€˜agriburbiaâ€™ As suburban development expands into rural areas, the urban/rural divide gets blurred.

A new â€œagriburbiaâ€? is emerging, where food producers and suburban development converge, creating new

and complex challenges. The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), located in â€œagriburbanâ€? communities such

as Abbotsford and Chilliwack, will present Life in Agriburbia, a panel discussion and exhibition on the is-

sues that arise when suburbia and farmland converge. The event will be held at the Abbotsford cam-

pus on Wednesday, Oct 1. Following the discussion, UFV will host an opening reception for an exhibit on Life in

Agriburbia in the UFV Gallery (Room B136). The exhibit will run at the UFV Gallery from Sept 26 to Oct 10. Dr. Lenore Newman, UFV Canada Research Chair in Food Security and the Environment, will present at the forum, along with agricultural community representatives Kim Sutherland (Ministry of Agriculture); Amir Maan (Maan Farms and UFV alumnus), Brendan Hurley (Vancouver planner), Hannah Wittman (food, nutrition, and health expert from UBC); and Tom Baumann (UFV Agriculture). The speakers will discuss the impact of the Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR) and how decisions on land use are made. The Reach Gallery Museum in Abbotsford is supporting the project with its own Life in Agriburbia exhibit from November 8 to 30. The exhibit showcases maps and photographs clearly illustrating the changes to the agricultural and environmental landscape in the Fraser Valley over the past 40 years. For more information, see ufv.ca/agriburban

Streamlined land use bylaw A new, streamlined zoning bylaw was adopted by council on Monday. The bylaw, which regulates land use in the city, replaces the old zoning bylaw which had not been significantly reviewed in about 18 years. Phase two of the project is expected to begin this fall, and will include a review of agricultural zones, comprehensive development zones, adult entertainment use regulations and a review of potentially increasing secondary suite options in certain zones.

There is also the $19,195 EX trim with alloy wheels, paddle shifter and moon roof, but the big news is the inclusion of the $21,295 EX-L Navi trim. This is the EX trim with leather and navigation, making the fit downright opulent. This isn’t the least expensive car in this class but on the whole it offers so much more than just a price point.

terms of drivability is a better jump off the line and improved highway cruising. Because the new transmission reduces weight and friction, the fuel economy has improved by 16 per cent, which is an amazing accomplishment in such a small car. Rated at 7.0L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway, using the much tougher 2015 fuel standards, this represents fuel number buyers will actually be able to achieve. In addition, the suspension has been improved for more responsiveness but I found the ride a bit choppy over bumpy roads.

The top is down. The sun is shining. It’s not a bad day to be stuck in downtown traffic. John Legend’s “All of Me” comes on the radio while behind the wheel of the 2014 Fiat 500C. As I wait in the Georgia Street parking lot, I listen intently to the song. Some lyrics of the song are: “Love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections.” Hmmmm. As I contemplate this, it applies directly to the pintsized Fiat I’m captaining. In fact, there are imperfections about this four-seater that drive me crazy but I can’t seem to dislike it. One example is the sound that greets you as you enter its cabin. There is nothing melodic about it. No mellifluous ding-dong ding-done; just a harsh monotone noise that seems to stay longer than an uninvited party guest. Even passengers commented on how annoying it is. The volume buttons on the dash really should be knobs. You should be able to crank up The awesome Beats premium audio system in a hurry, not push by push. (It’s worth the additional $495 price tag.) Visibility is mediocre at best, especially with the top up. The canvas roof doesn’t allow for great visibility when backing up – top up or down – but thankfully there are backup sensors that help guide you into the spot you want to be in. The trunk only hosts 269 L. Unless you’re packing light, or just ditching the bags and merely bringing a debit card with you on a road trip, fitting four people inside and their luggage will be a challenge. On the plus side, the drop top doesn’t take away any precious space when open. Then there’s the optional

push of a button. One is a sunroof-like option, the next goes about 2/3 of the way down, and the last is all the way down. Either way, you have options on how much Vitamin D you’d like to consume. I feel like I’m back in grade school, sitting on the grass field at lunch, plucking the petals of a dandelion, one by one, saying, “I love it, I don’t love it, I love it, I don’t love… I LOVE IT!” Visit www.fiatcanada.com for more information. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

TomTom navigation that sits atop the dash and cuts into one’s forward visibility. An awkward spot for GPS system. Pairing a Bluetooth device isn’t that straightforward either. Not to mention, the 500C, with its 1.4L engine and humble 101 horsepower and 98 lb-ft of torque isn’t a stable stallion. Despite its lack of power, pressing the Sport button helps it feel a little peppier. The 5-speed manual transmission is hardly a chore, even when I’m just inching along at a snail’s pace. While its imperfections should cause me to think about ever wanting to drive or own one, I still can’t seem to stop loving this little car. I like its quirkiness and the fact that it’s not perfect. I love the exterior colour: Espresso. It sparkles in the sun and has a warm richness to it. When matched with the two-toned leather-trimmed bucket seats, it looks stylish and chic. Bringing the outside in, the espresso paint also colours to life the dash. Combined with ivory touches, it has an upscale ambiance. The tester, being the Lounge trim of 500C, it has an MSRP of $23,995. That comes with keyless entry, a chrome shift knob, leather-wrapped steering wheel (and the aforementioned leather seating surfaces with heated front seats), 4-wheel disc brakes, ABS, hill start assist and more. When not stuck in traffic, the 500C actually remains quiet on the open road, with the top up, of course. It certainly doesn’t handle like its race-primed sibling, the Abarth, but still manages to turn on a dime when required. It’s also a lovely road companion because imperfections on the road aren’t felt with abrasion or discomfort. Furthermore, if you want to shed some light on the cabin, there are three settings you can use at the

Milton Keynes, England: As we each climbed into a gleaming Infiniti Q50 sports sedan, one killjoy warned the road to the Belgian Grand Prix would be like a dance – quick, quick, slow. The tour of the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing factory had us pumped and ready to roar Sebastian Vettel-like, along the UK’s motorway network to Folkestone, Kent. There we would take Le Shuttle train beneath the waves of the English Channel to France and on to Spa, Belgium. It would be a 600-kilometre drive (374 miles) and take less than six hours. The doomsayer was right, try ten hours!

“The four-time F1 champ inﬂuenced the production of the sharp-looking Q50 we drove to race weekend. “ However, plain sailing it was not as we encountered motorway chaos to the EuroTunnel. It was equal parts low-gear slow crawl, near-posted speed limit bursts – enabling a few paddle-flipping-gear changes – and parking pauses long enough to test the eight-position power seat adjustments and play with the large dual touch screen infotainment displays. The navigation system ‘lady’ suggested we take the M25 the opposite way around London. Whoops. Should have ignored her. Nevertheless, this was all a blessing because the car was forced to perform in adverse conditions and its mettle/metal was truly tested. Extended time at the wheel of a 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 version (starts at $37,500) and a Hybrid ($10,000 more) with a 3.5-litre engine left me scratching my head about which would be my choice. Both provide a quiet, comfortable drive, not averse to a sprint when necessary, all aided by a seven-speed auto transmission that is as a smooth as a baby’s you-know-what. All-wheel-drive would be an option I would choose on either model.The drive mode selector offers snow, eco, standard, sport and personal settings – my drive partner and I invented the new exceptionally slow mode. Interestingly, the constantly changing speed limits flashing above helped “Along the way, show off the predictive forward reﬂective signs collision technology. If you trust the car ahead, the radar-controlled gizmo urged us to visit will govern your speed and braking such historic automatically. You soon figure whether he’s locations as trustworthy or not. In addition, Dunkirk, Bruges lane control keeps you on the and Brussels.” straight and narrow should you drift into that passing car you were alerted to by another warning system. Thanks to the $320 flexi pass, we rolled with ease onto the train and smirked at the lineup with the $120 tickets. About 40 minutes later, we were enjoying the French countryside, travelling for extended periods at the construction zone speed of 30 klicks. Darkness enveloped the road ahead but our way through Belgium was lit by the most spectacular electric storm. Ah yes, the windshield wipers performed efficiently in a downpour of Biblical proportions. Along the way, reflective signs urged us to visit such historic locations as Dunkirk, Bruges and Brussels, but we steamed on determined to reach Spa, birthplace of Agatha Christie’s fictional detective Hercule Poirot. Vettel showed off a prototype of the super-powered Q50 Eau Rouge version, named for the Belgian track’s famous corner. Perhaps a repeat of the route, including scenic diversions, in a production Eau Rouge would be fun. Just saying. Contact keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

(Top) 1962 Ford Thunderbird. (Bottom) 1930 Ford Model A.

Four great classics under $25,000 The big stories out the of classic car world today are the multi-million dollar rarities that will be offered for sale at the big auctions in Monterey, Ca. With those cars making headlines, it’s easy to forget that there isn’t

Fall for Audi

a millionaires-only policy when it comes to classic cars. Here are four favourite all-American classics that can still be had for less than the price of a loaded new Ford Focus: 1948-49 Cadillac Series 61 Club Coupe: The ’48 Cadillacs were the

first all-new Caddies after the end of WWII (the 1946-47 cars were similar to the 1942 model), and they were drop-dead gorgeous with the first of the fighter plane-inspired tail fins Continued on page 33

that would grow to near mutant proportions by 1959. As elegant as any Bentley of the era, the ’49 model was the first with Cadillac’s modern overhead valve V-8. 1961-63 Ford Thunderbird: The third generation T-Bird is arguably the prettiest. The epitome of jet-age, mid-century modern style, it was dubbed “the bullet bird” for its streamlined shape. Nice coupes are particularly reasonable, and with a little searching, decent convertibles can be found for $25,000 or less. 1964-66 Ford Mustang: The first generation Mustang which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, has clearly aged beautifully, looking just as fresh today as it did in April of 1964 at its New York World’s Fair introduction. Prices seem to be firming up, but six-cylinder coupes and convertibles are still available at a reasonable price. 1927-31 Ford Model A: Like movie sequels, few automakers have had the ability to follow up one blockbuster with another of equal magnitude. The Model A was “The Godfather II” to the Model T’s “The Godfather.” If you look at American period photos from the 1930s-40s, it sometimes seems like there was nothing else on the road. They can still provide reliable transportation even in the 21st century. Amazingly, this piece of automotive history is still affordable. Tudor sedans range from $15,000 to $20,000 and roadsters $20,000 to $25,000. Rob Sass is the vice-president of content for Hagerty Insurance.

SUCCESS IS ABOUT MORE THAN SELLING CARS Congratulations to Magnuson Ford on the opening of their brand-new dealership Family-owned and operated, Magnuson Ford is a dealership concerned with more than just sales. And it shows. In 2013, Abbotsford Times readers voted them Best New Car Dealer, Best Used Car Dealer and Best Service Repair Centre. They were also twice nominated in 2013 for New Business of the Year at the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet, and were voted to the Abbotsford News A-List as a ﬁnalist for Best Dealership and Best Repair Facility. With all that enthusiasm from members of their community, it’s clear Magnuson puts a lot of importance on giving back. They are the brand sponsor for the Abbotsford Soccer Association, now called the Magnuson Ford FC, and a proud sponsor of Abbotsford Minor Hockey. As well as sponsoring many other organizations around Abbotsford, this dealership is always looking for other ways to make a difference beyond their front door. They have raised over $250,000 through their Drive One program and the proceeds have ﬂowed throughout the community, going to schools, charities and other causes — proving that, for Magnuson Ford, community involvement is a high priority. The brand-new dealership includes updates to the main showroom and customer area, both of which have increased dramatically in size. Large vintage Ford canvas prints decorate the walls throughout the dealership and both the lounge and beverage centre are beautifully redone with state-of-the-art accessories and additions. Ford of Canada congratulates Magnuson Ford on their new dealership and the passion they show for their community.

Ikeda, Clay, Watson off to China to take on the world From A37

Twisters has sent multiple men to the World Championships before – Ikeda’s older brother Richard was a national-team mainstay during his competitive career, which overlapped with Ken’s – but this is the first time three locals have gone to the Worlds together. And it’s a phenomenal achievement. “It’s huge,” Ikeda enthused. “Not a lot of clubs can do that – it’s pretty rare, especially with a seven-man team. “I’m on my way out – I’m still doing good stuff, and I’m still going to be around for a few years. But to see the next generation coming up and doing well, that’s really nice for me to see.” Ikeda, a 32-yearold former Olympian who attended the Summer Games in 2004 (Athens) and 2008 (Beijing, as an alternate), is the oldest member of the Canadian team. At the other end of the age spectrum is Clay, a 19-year-old Chilliwack native. He cracked the roster thanks in large part to a solid showing at the Commonwealth Games, held in Edinburgh, Scotland in July, where he helped the Canadian men to a bronze medal in the team event. Clay also excelled at the 2014 Canadian Championships, finishing first on the pommel horse and second on parallel bars. He was named to the Worlds team two weeks ago, following the Pan American Championships in Toronto, and he was utterly ecstatic. “I want to place in an event (at Worlds) – probably pommel,” Clay said with a smile, acknowledging that he’ll probably battle some nerves in China. “I know it’ll be really hard to do, but if I can hit my routines, maybe I can come in the top 10.” Watson, just one year older than Clay at age 20, will also

onto the senior national team. He’s the reigning national allaround champion, and his 13th-place result in the all-around was the top Canadian finish at the Pan Am

be making his World Championship debut. The Port Coquitlam native joined Twisters just over a year ago in order to train under Richard Ikeda, and he broke through

Championships. “I was really excited to be chosen to be part of the (Worlds) team,” Watson said. “It’s definitely a big stepping stone towards higher goals in the future.

“I’ve been to a few big meets before, so I’ll be able to keep my composure. But it’s going to be really exciting to go out there and try to help the team.

“For me, it’s all about hitting all six of my routines, staying consistent and clean.” While Clay and Watson will both compete in all six events at Worlds,

Ken Ikeda’s program will be limited to the pommel horse, parallel bars and high bar. He would typically be competing on the Continued on A42

vault as well, but he’s recovering from an ankle/foot injury suffered at the national championships. On the vault, Ikeda landed off the mat

and “pretty much destroyed” his right ankle and fractured a bone in his foot. But he’s recovered to the point where he should be able to stick his landings on the bar

events at Worlds. At this stage of his career, Ikeda is older than the average gymnast, but he noted that 30-somethings aren’t as much an anomaly on the inter-

national scene as they once were. “There are a lot of guys internationally who are 36 – gymnasts are starting to last a lot longer than they used to,” he said.

“You definitely have to adjust your training style. I can’t train six days a week, the same way these guys (Clay and Watson) would be training. But at the same time,

the skills that are in my routines, I already have a lot of experience in. I already have that good base to start from, so I don’t really need to be doing a lot of numbers, as many

as, say, Zachary.” Ikeda plans to continue competing at the highest level until after the completion of the current Olympic cycle, which culminates in the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. Of course, that’s the same thing he said leading up to London 2012 – an event he didn’t end up attending because Canada didn’t qualify a full team for those Olympic Games. “My plan is to finish this cycle, and then I’m almost certain – more certain than the last time – that will be it,” Ikeda said with a chuckle. Ikeda’s continued presence on the national team is a boon to clubmates Clay and Watson, who have access to a tremendous source of wisdom as they head to their first Worlds. “I’m actually really happy that Ken’s coming, because he can give me a few tips about what to expect and do and whatnot,” Clay said. “I’ve really looked up to him.” For his part, Ikeda’s advice for the youngsters is not to approach the World Championship stage with any undue reverence. “This is a big year for them, and I think they can handle it,” he said. “They’re training really hard every day, they’re doing good stuff, and they’re able to hit these routines like it’s nothing. “They just have to do the exact same thing they do every day and not worry that this is the World Championships. It’s just another competition, like any other international meet they’ve done this year.” While Ikeda is thrilled to watch the likes of Watson and Clay mature into national teamers, he said there’s plenty of terrific young talent still in the pipeline at Twisters. “We have lots of other good young guys coming up,” he said. “It’s nice to see that the legacy of Twisters will continue.”

Cascades women’s hoopsters host Dinos in preseason The University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team embarks on its preseason schedule this week with a pair of home games vs. the Calgary Dinos. The two-game exhibition set began on Thursday evening at the Envision Athletic Centre, but that result was not available at press time. The second game goes tonight (Friday, Sept. 19) at 6 p.m. The Cascades are coming off a breakthrough season which culminated in a 69-57 victory over the Saskatchewan Huskies in the bronze medal game at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) national cham-

a new role, a leadership role, a scoring role, and getting everyone comfortable in those roles is probably our main priority through the next couple months.”

Thomas Kippes of the Abbotsford Mission Boxing Club won his weight class at a tournament hosted by Seamar Boxing Club in Seattle last week. Kippes, one of three local fighters in attendance at the Seattle tourney along with Owen Bergen and Carsen Dyck, was victorious in his opening match on Saturday, and went on to beat Jerry Lewis in Sunday's final. It was a challenging fight, as Lewis boasted an eight-inch reach advantage, but Kippes earned a unanimous decision thanks to quick footwork and fast combinations.

The Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame (ASHOF) has a prominent new display at Abbotsford Centre to showcase its inductees. The display, which features a collection of plaques on the south wall of the 7,000-seat arena highlighting the local sports shrine’s 46 inductees, was officially unveiled on Tuesday. “We wanted to get out there and enhance the image of the Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame,” said ASHOF president Ted Perry. “It’s perfect that we got this. “We’re hoping it will get people to come to the Hall of Fame (located at the Legacy Sports Centre at Exhibition Park). But if nothing else, people will come to the events here and say, ‘Wow, Abbotsford has a lot of sports heroes.” Tourism Abbotsford pitched in $5,000 to cover the cost of the display, which also features a plaque honouring locals who have played in the National Hockey League. “I just think it’s great that we celebrate our own,” Abbotsford mayor Bruce Banman said. In conjunction with Tuesday’s event, the ASHOF announced it is accepting nominations for its class of 2015. Individuals can be nominated in the athlete, coach/builder or community sport builder categories, and the deadline for submissions is Nov. 15. Nomination criteria and forms are available at abbysportshalloffame. ca. Additionally, nominations for the Wall of Fame – which honours young athletes for their achievements during the 2014 calendar year – can be submitted at this time.

HWY #1 - Mt. Lehman Exit North

A new industry group is seeking provincial approval to oversee recycling pickup from urban apartments but questions persist over how its plan will work. StewardChoice Enterprises has pitched itself as a parallel offering to Multi-Material BC and wants the province to approve its plan to serve as a second stewardship group to handle packaging and printed paper. StewardChoice argues MMBC’s recycling collection system isn’t yet serving most multifamily buildings in Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria, where it initially aims to operate. Businesses that object to being members of MMBC – many call it an unresponsive monopoly – would have the choice to instead pay into StewardChoice to meet their responsibility to finance the recovery of their waste packaging and paper under B.C.’s recycling regulation. Metro Vancouver planners and politicians told the regional district’s zero waste committee Thursday there are too many unknowns to say if the proposal is beneficial. “I do think competition could actually drive solutions to some of the problems we’re facing with MMBC,” Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer said. “It could also confuse the heck out of it so nobody knows what’s going on.” She said competition in packaging stewardship might spur all the players to be more transparent and fix problems that have drawn complaints from local cities. Reimer wants firm targets to increase package and paper recycling rates, more focus by producers on reducing package waste at the front end and improved pickup of glass, which MMBC isn’t accepting curbside in most cities. She noted MMBC’s monopoly made for onesided negotiations with city councils. A Metro staff report, however, cautions a rival agency like StewardChoice could undercut MMBC revenues and destabilize the new industry-led recycling system, which is supposed to shift the costs from taxpayers to business. “It is important that moving to a competitive model is done in a way that creates a level playing field so as not to undermine the success of the MMBC program.”

The employment market today can be one tough customer. According to Statistics Canada, there has been little overall employment growth in Canada since August 2013 and, in fact, employment has declined among some categories of workers. Perhaps it is due to a competitive employment market, an overconfident and self-important personality trait, or possibly even an honest attempt at obtaining gainful employment; but if you misrepresent your qualifications and expertise to potential employers, you must be wary of the possible

a misrepresentation by the employee prior to hiring is supported by the Employment Standards Act, which states that an employer is not liable for any severance upon employee termination where termination is for just cause. The case law supports fraudulent misrepresentation by an employee as being grounds for just cause in certain circumstances. The representation made must have four characteristics: (1) the representation must be made directly to the employer, (2) the representation must be untrue, inaccurate or misleading, (3) the employee must have been deliberate or negligent in making those representations, and (4) the employer must have relied on those misrepresentations when deciding to hire the employee. Employees should be aware of the cost of making a misrepresentation to their potential employer during the hiring process. In the case of Clark v. Coopers & Lybrand Consulting Group, an employee misrepresented his academic credentials, which his employer relied on when hiring him for a consulting contract. When Clark brought an action against his employer for wrongful termination, the court not only dismissed Clark’s claim for notice but ordered that Clark was liable for some of the expense related to arranging for his replacement, as well as additional damages for the loss of business opportunities. Here are some practical tips for employers on how to avoid becoming a victim of employee misrepresentation: Keep and maintain written documentation of all discussions with potential employees; Where possible, have all discussions and interviews made in the presence of more than one representative of the employer; Investigate and verify all potential employee representations, background checks, and references.

FLEISHAUER Irwin Irwin Raymond Fleishauer, age 90, of Lynden, WA, entered into the arms of his Lord and Savior September 11, 2014. Irwin was born October 2, 1923 in Bakersfield, CA, the eldest child of Charles and Sarah Fleishauer. Raised in Bakersfield, he graduated from Kern County Union High School in 1941 and married Georgia Dean Neufeld in 1944. They were both active in the Rosedale Bible Church youth group, and established many dear friends over the years. Together they built a successful hay hauling business, later farmed cotton and alfalfa, and after moving to Anacortes, WA, in 1981, established Island Weed and Insect Control. Irwin loved golfing at Peaceful Valley, Sumas, WA, camping, boating, gardening and woodworking. Touring with Abbotsford’s Central Heights Church Jubilee Choir was a highlight. Many memories were created over the years with his family and friends in Bakersfield, CA and Northwest Washington. Visits and trips with his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, who reside in Canada, were special, and it was obvious he loved all of them so much. He is preceded by his wife and “sweetie” Georgia; sister Charlene Kroeker; parents Charles and Sarah Fleishauer. He is survived by one son, Gary and daughter-in-law, Margaret; three grandchildren Joshua (Charmaine) Fleishauer, Krista (Prince) Mbansi, and Cheya (Allan) Grant; as well as seven great grandchildren Isaac, Jakob and Xavier Fleishauer, Prince Jr., and Alexis, Eden, Isaiah and Parker Grant; as well as many beloved nieces and nephews in California. Irwin’s final residence was Meadow Greens, Lynden, WA, where he enjoyed the friendly staff, the golf course view, and sitting in his chair, singing hymns. A time of visitation will be at Gillies Funeral Home, on Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2014 from 10 am to 12 pm followed by a graveside service in Sumas Cemetery at 1:30 PM. You are invited to share your condolences and memories in the online guest book at: www.gilliesfuneralhome.com Arrangements are entrusted to Gillies Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Lynden.

WORK IT

Dressing for the office Dressing for the office doesn’t have to be either stodgy or ultra-casual. There’s a way to add some flair while still being office-appropriate in looks that can transition from daytime to after-work activities. It starts by choosing some basic neutral pieces – such as classic black trousers and a crisp-white blouse – and adding a pop of colour by way of a bright blazer or stand-out accessory. Purple is a popular choice this fall, making it a great choice for a jacket, purse, pumps or necklace. Just don’t wear these options all at once if you choose a vibrant shade; pick one or two for more subtle emphasis.

A sleek floral form-fitting floral-patterned dress becomes office-appropriate when topped with a fitted blazer. Simply remove the jacket and add a pashmina for a romantic after-work dinner or drinks with your girlfriends. When it comes to the guys, a tweed blazer and plaid shirt paired with casual trousers are suitable for most offices, providing a comfortable not-too-casual option. Keep in mind that office attire can vary, depending on the industry, but these looks will work in many settings.

Busy Mom beauty tricks With activites and school starting up, time is at a minimum for all of us. Here are a few tips and tricks to look like you had hours to spend, instead of minutes, getting ready. Skincare

Toothbrush work-outs

Shower at night

Keeping skin cleansing wipes next to your bed, along with your night creams, is an easy way to ensure you keep up with your nighttime skincare regime. Place your daytime moisturizer beside your toothbrush as a daily reminder to apply.

When it comes to physical activity, every little bit helps. Squeeze in a set of squats, wall sits or calf raises while you brush your teeth. Next time you’re waiting for the microwave, do a few counter pushups.

Try moving your shower routine from morning to night. This will not only save you time during the morning rush, but you may even have time to shave BOTH your legs without an interruption!

Budget-friendly bathroom renos The allure of a spa-style bathroom is something few homeowners can resist. As appealing as it may seem, the cost of creating a luxury washroom is more than many homeowners’ budgets can withstand. Fortunately, a dream bathroom does not have to break the bank. In fact, there are several ways to make a spa-worthy bathroom without stretching your budget.

BATHROOM COUNTERTOPS

INSTALL A WALL-HUNG MIRROR

Though they are often overlooked, cabinet and door fixtures can greatly influence the feel of a washroom. If the cabinet and drawer handles are old or outdated, replace them with more modern options. Such a job might be even more effective if you repaint or

reface existing cabinetry. Neither task is terribly expensive, but both can give the washroom a more luxurious feel. The same goes for replacing old towel racks.

Replacing countertops may sound expensive, but because counter space is typically limited in a washroom, it is quite affordable. Granite countertops are beautiful but they do not create a warm, luxurious feel. Soapstone however, is warm, inexpensive and can quickly give the bathroom a new look.

EMBRACE CALM COLOURS Consider calming tones when choosing paint colours, to give the room the luxurious and relaxing feel. If you have a clawfoot tub, add a touch of elegance by painting the tub’s exterior in a calming tone such as soft gray.

REPLACE OLD FIXTURES

If your idea of a luxury bathroom harkens back to a time before the advent of recessed medicine cabinets, then a wallhung mirror can give the bathroom an entirely new feel without much of a financial commitment.

Transforming a bathroom may seem like a significant and costly undertaking, but savvy homeowners can give their washrooms a new and luxurious look without spending much money.

HEALTH

MATTERS

Power of positivity A balanced diet, exercise, genetics, and even certain medications can work in concert to make a person healthy. But a personâ€™s demeanor also can factor into personal health. The Mayo Clinic says that whether or not a person is an optimist or a pessimist can affect many areas of his or her health and well-being. The body responds differently based on an individualâ€™s mood, and it may produce stress hormones if a personâ€™s outlook is negative. Such stress hormones can compromise the immune system, increase blood pressure and even reduce the bodyâ€™s ability to burn fat effectively. Thinking negatively also can increase a personâ€™s risk for developing cardiovascular disease and aging prematurely. Conversely, studies have shown that thinking positively can lower rates of depression and anxiety, increase life expectancy and provide greater resistance to certain illnesses.

Chilliwack, BC

Becoming a more positive thinker can take a little effort for those without a natural inclination for optimism. Try the following methods to embrace their optimistic side.

Aquaris The first truly waterproof, dustproof, and shock-resistant hearing aid.

BE SUPPORTIVE OF YOURSELF Push negative thoughts away. Consider what you would say to others and then treat yourself the same way.

Thinking positively can lower rates of depression and anxiety, increase life expectancy.

VOLUNTEER Volunteering not only helps others, but it also can help you put your own problems in perspective. Volunteering also helps you feel good about your efforts, which can translate into positive thinking.

EXERCISE Start an exercise regimen, as physical activity naturally reduces stress and can improve mood. EMBRACE HUMOUR Surround yourself with others who bring a smile to your face. Look for ways to laugh as much as possible.

IDENTIFY AREAS THAT NEED CHANGE Think about moments in life that may bring you down or inspire negative reactions. If work is problematic, figure out ways to make it better and work toward improving the situation.

THINK LIKE A CHILD Take a cue from youngsters and find joy in the little things. Positive thinking is more than the subject matter of self-help books. Itâ€™s a viable way to improve personal health and live longer.

HELPING HAND

Fundraising affected by BCTF strike The Canadian Cancer Society is calling on Fraser Valley residents to help after the ongoing labour dispute between BC teachers and the government has threatened the success of its annual Cops for Cancer fundraiser. Cops for Cancer is a cycling-based fundraiser involving 107 police officers and emergency service personnel who pedal thousands of kilometres across the province to raise funds to fight children’s cancers. The four tours – covering Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley and part of

Northern BC – also visit schools to raise awareness and money that help the Society fund leading edge pediatric cancer research and support programs like Camp Goodtimes. “An unintended consequence of the dispute between teachers and the BC government is that crucial fundraisers like Cops for Cancer are suffering due to our inability to engage with public schools and students,” explains Allan Mugford, Director, Canadian Cancer Society, Fraser Valley Region. “Our school visits are a pivotal part of cancer

The Society is encouraging the public to show support by attending local fundraisers or donating online. Details on local fundraisers can be found

RECIPE PAIRING: Trebbiano Chardonnay blend from Italy WHITE WINE: Trebbiano Chardonnay 2013

Tomato Bruschetta with Whipped Feta

PRODUCER: Donini

INGREDIENTS:

COUNTRY/REGION: Italy/Rubicone IGT GRAPE/BLEND: Trebbiano Chardonnay PRICE/ABV:$10 (one litre)/12% ABV THROUGH THE EYES: Light lemon yellow ON THE NOSE: Citrus, apple, penny candy, green grass

6 ounces feta, crumbled 2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature ½ cup olive oil, divided 2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp 2 tbsp

minced garlic red wine vinegar or white balsamic vinegar 2 pounds ripe tomatoes cut into 1/2 inch dice

to taste 2 tbsp

to taste

salt & ground pepper minced shallots

fresh basil and pine nuts, finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS:

ON THE PALATE:

1. For the whipped feta, place the feta and cream cheese in a food processor, pulse until the cheeses are mixed. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and process until smooth.

Citrus, green apple, hint of caramel. OVERALL: Serve it well chilled. This cheap and cheerful wine is acidic enough to stand up to tomatoes and works well with goat cheese. It loses some its oomph when sitting around too long, so drink up!

2. Combine shallots, garlic and vinegar in a medium bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Add the tomatoes, stir gently and set aside for 10 minutes. Stir in the basil and and taste for seasoning. 3. To make crostini, slice a baguette on the diagonal, brush each side lightly with olive oil, and grill each side until lightly toasted, or place under a pre-heated broiler, turning over when one side is toasted.

BUY IT: B.C. liquor stores. PAIR IT: Fish, potato chips, pasta

4. To assemble the crostini, spread each slice of bread with a generous amount of whipped feta. With a slotted spoon, place the tomatoes on top. Scatter with pine nuts and extra basil and serve immediately.

FAVOURITE FARM MARKET

The Farmer and the Foodie “Mom, the guy you have a crush on is on TV” was the subject line in an email I hoped would gain the attention of my long not-so-secret crush, and would convince Chef Michael Smith to visit us in Abbotsford. Five years of reminder emails using the phrase that often rang out from my children as they spotted the tall chef on TV will finally be rewarded as we excitedly prepare for his only Fraser Valley appearance this fall. And yes, Farmer Rob knew of my crush, but was comforted by the fact that he resided far away in PEI. My admiration for Canada’s most famous chef is that he is a passionate advocate for simple, sustainable home cooking and an inspiration for families creating their own healthy

food lifestyle. His unfussy approach to good food, simply prepared and shared with people he loves has influenced my own philosophy that our farming efforts and cooked from scratch food is always better when shared. Join us at the market on Saturday, October 4 at 2 pm as we welcome Chef Michael for a free book launch of his bestselling eighth cookbook “Family Meals”. After sharing stories and anecdotes, he will patiently sign his cookbooks, the newest of which will be available for purchase at the market. Please join me as we show him the love he deserves for being Canada’s most renowned healthy food EXP ambassador. L
