The weather was warm, and the mojitos were cold as Kieve Laviolette and Andy Ververgaert relaxed in the pool of the Hotel Riu Santa Fe Cabo San Lucas. After six years of study, including four in the University of the Fraser Valley business administration program, the Abbotsford couple had just written a grueling three-day exam earlier that week which, if all went well, would earn them their chartered accountant (CA) designation. To celebrate, Laviolette and Ververgaert – together for five years – had flown to Cabo on Saturday, Sept. 13, along with two dozen other CA hopefuls for a comfortable week at an all-inclusive resort.

New plan for homeless City wants to rezone downtown site for supportive housing Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
City hall intends to set aside land on Gladys Avenue for supportive housing. City manager George Murray told The News the city will bring forward an official community plan (OCP) and a zoning amendment for some properties “in anticipation of future opportunities around low-barrier supportive housing.” The site is located on the west side of Gladys Avenue, just north of George Ferguson Way. Murray said due to challenges in the past to supportive housing projects at the rezoning stage, the city is seeking to proactively rezone the city-owned properties and is “cautiously hopeful that this will help facilitate a future low-barrier housing project.” In 2008, Abbotsford entered into a memo-
ALEX BUTLER Abbotsford News
This site on the west side of Gladys Avenue, just north of George Ferguson Way, is being proposed for supportive housing by the city. randum of understanding with BC Housing to build provincially funded supportive housing projects. A facility was originally slated for Emerson Street, near the Matsqui Recreation Centre. But after neighbours protested, the project – the George Schmidt Centre – was relocated to King Road
near the Abbotsford Airport. In February of this year, a tied vote by council defeated an application from Abbotsford Community Services (ACS) to build a 21-bed supportive housing project for men across from ACS headquarters at 2048 Montvue Ave. Some of the opposition,
including from the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association (ADBA), was due to the location of the site on a special city downtown zone – C7 – which prohibits supportive recovery use. The new proposed site does not fall within the C7 zone. Tina Stewart, ex-
ecutive director of the ADBA and candidate for Abbotsford council in the municipal election, said she met with the ADBA’s board of directors on Tuesday to discuss the proposal, and the organization will be issuing a letter of support. “Our concern the last time was that we didn’t want to see a C7 property rezoned, to maintain the integrity of the zoning. This is not within the boundaries of the ABDA and it’s not a C7 property.” When the ACS proposal was rejected, city staff were instructed to look at other sites. The former MSA Hospital site on McCallum Road was put forward as an option, but Fraser Health has announced plans to build a campus of care for seniors and a community health centre there, along with multi-fam-

ABBOTSFORD CENTRE’S BIG TICKET FLASHBACK: SEPTEMBER 12, 2011
MAROON 5
Packed full of screaming fans, the Abbotsford Centre hosted an electric evening featuring Grammy Award winners, Maroon 5 and lead singer Adam Levine on September 12, 2011. Opening the evening was singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson and crowd favourite, Train. Nathanson kicked off the four hour long show while Train played a set including hits “Drops of Jupiter”, “Meet Virginia” and “Calling All Angels”. Train lead singer Patrick Monahan even went so far as to walk through the
audience while performing the hit song “Marry Me”, charming the crowd with his genuine stage presence. After a quick transition, pop-rock sensations Maroon 5 took the stage bringing the entire Abbotsford Centre crowd to its feet! The seventy-five minute set featured all the bands hits including “Moves Like Jagger” and “This Love”, ending with a special encore rendition of the ballad “She Will Be Loved”.

ily housing, retail and park space, subject to a request-for-proposal process. Murray said that site is not out of the question for supportive housing, “but I’m not sure if lowbarrier is the right housing mix for that particular site and neither does Fraser Health.” Siri Bertelsen, general manager of planning and development services, said the city intends to create a specific zone that is related to housingfirst as that was identified as a key component of housing by the city’s task force on homelessness. Murray said this follows protocol in other cities that rezone land for these types of uses in hopes of getting grants and support from the provincial government. The city is aiming for a public information meeting on Oct. 1 from 6-8 p.m. at the Gateway Community Church. Staff predict the rezoning proposal will go to council on Oct. 20 and to public hearing at the Nov. 3 meeting – though the timeline is subject to change. Following a public hearing, council has the option to vote on third reading of a project. Frequently, the decision is deferred to the next meeting of council to allow councillors to consider the views of the public. If council defers the decision on the rezoning at the Nov. 3 meeting, it would likely come up at the Nov. 17 meeting of council, after the Nov. 15 municipal election – though the current councillors would still be present for their final meeting. The new council will be sworn in on Dec. 1. In a news release from the city, Mayor Bruce Banman says that “although this process will follow the city’s regular, established procedures for official community plan and zoning amendment bylaws, it can be seen as a proactive step for council in considering new initiatives that address issues of homelessness in our community.” Asked whether there were talks with BC Housing about a particular project, Murray said, “Nothing has been approved, but we continue to work hard on it.”

month term for failing to report to his parole officer, and a 21-day jail term for shoplifting at a Surrey Winners store. The Integrated Homicide Investigaton Team (IHIT) held a press conference on Monday morning to announce that they had arrested and charged a man with the murder of Vermeersch, 17. The body of the teen had been found on the evening of Sept. 16 in an area densely covered in brambles, near railway tracks in the 14600 block of 66 Avenue in Surrey. Vermeersch’s death was quickly deemed a homicide, as well as a random attack, and Chief Supt. Bill Fordy said investigators worked around the clock to identify and locate the person responsible. At the time of the IHIT press conference, there was some confusion about a publication ban around the accused’s name, but the ban was lifted on Monday afternoon and it was revealed that Caissie, 43, had been arrested in Vancouver and charged with second-degree murder. On Tuesday, Surrey Mayor Diane Watts said she was outraged that a high-risk sex offender had been charged with killing Vermeersch. She questioned why he was allowed go free when he was still considered dangerous, even after serving 22 years. “It’s senseless that another young life is taken,” she said. – with files from Tracy Holmes and Kevin Diakiw
No make-up for lost time Schools reopen after teachers’ strike
Abbotsford News
School is back on in Abbotsford after a protracted teachers’ strike. Students missed almost three weeks of the new year, but Kevin Godden, superintendent of Abbotsford schools, said at this point, the lost instructional time will not be made up. Godden explained the curriculum outcomes haven’t changed, so the teachers and students will have to focus on achieving the necessary outcomes in less time. He said teachers may hold tutorials to help students catch up. He said that while all instructional time is important, in a students’ 12-year education, a few weeks may not have a huge impact. He said the impact is greater on students in secondary schools and those who are struggling and need extra assistance. “I have faith that teachers will recognize which kids those are.” Next week, the school

While it will not add more minutes to the schedule, there may be changes around noninstructional days. He said the alreadyscheduled school breaks will largely remain the same. However the end of the first semester will be moved from the last week of January into the first week of February. Each semester will lose about eight days. Godden said it’ll take “sheer hard work” for teachers to catch up on preparations for the school year. “But if you had driven

Teen stabbed in altercation
Vikki HOPES
Abbotsford News
An altercation between two teen boys and the occupants of a pickup truck resulted in one of the teens beings stabbed multiple times early Monday morning. The 17-year-old victim is recovering in hospital. The incident took place at 2:20 a.m. in the area of Clearbrook and Peardonville roads. It began with a verbal confrontation between the boys and the occupants of a black Ford F-150 Platinum. The conflict escalated into a physical altercation in the 31900 block of Peardonville Road, and the boy was stabbed several times in his upper VIDEINOE body. ONLws.com abbyne Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said, “It’s difficult to say (what caused the dispute) … We don’t believe it was over anything terribly serious.” MacDonald said those involved did not know each other, but they may have been out that late because there are stores and restaurants that are open in the area at that time. He said police do not yet have descriptions of the people in the truck or even how many there were. Anyone with information is asked to call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225, text 222973 (abbypd) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

beachside, sipping drinks with their friends, Laviolette, 24, and Ververgaert, 27, would be eating stale bread and deep-fried beans. TTT The weather reports coming out of Mexico the morning of Sept. 12 were not particularly ominous. The U.S. National Hurricane Center suggested that swells and riptides from the storm posed the greatest danger to people, and a forecast track had the storm missing the Baja California peninsula and the resort city of Cabo San Lucas at its southernmost tip. Saturday morning, Laviolette and Ververgaert flew to Cabo San Lucas as planned. “The first day was great,” Laviolette recalls, “We hit the pool and had some margaritas and mojitos.” The next day, the weather took a turn, and the first indication the storm might be something more than an average tropical weather disturbance came from signs posted that afternoon around their hotel, the Santa Fe. They read: “Expect winds. Strong winds. Winds that could reach 260 kilometres an hour. Be in your hotel room by 6 p.m. And it’s probably best if you refrain from drinking.” TTT Named Odile, the storm hit landfall as a Category 4 hurricane, with winds of around 200 km/h. It would later be judged the most intense tropical cyclone to hit Baja California since weather satellites began observing storms more than half a century ago. That night, inside the couple’s fourth-storey room, the noise built to a roar. The glass door rattled loudly in its frame, and in the courtyard below, leaves were ripped from palm trees. After building for hours, the storm mellowed around 10 p.m. Two hours later, it re-
turned with a vengeance. Odile hadn’t left Cabo San Lucas. In fact, its eye – the centre of the hurricane – had passed directly over the resort. The wall of the eye contains a hurricane’s most ferocious winds. “It was crazy and way, way worse than before,” says Laviolette. Electrical power, which had miraculously not yet surrendered to
running water. At one resort, they managed to buy hamburgers from a restaurant. At another, they found guests being served food and alcohol. It was only on Wednesday that Laviolette was able to get service on her phone to call her family. But some things were improving. Hotel staff had initially disappeared after the storm, but had returned

Kieve Laviolette and Andy Ververgaert were relieved to finally make it home after a tense vacation in Mexico. the storm, finally gave up along with the phone system and the Santa Fe descended into darkness. It was impossible to open a door into the hallway because of the dramatic difference in air pressure. At least five people, four of them tourists, would die from the storm, while more than 100 would be injured. TTT The wind eventually subsided and, after a few hours of sleep, Laviolette and Ververgaert ventured outside. The trees were shredded and the pools were filled with sand. Guests on the first floor waded through water, their bags on their heads. Elsewhere, a statue in front of a neighbouring hotel had been decapitated, its head dangling by pieces of rope, its body bent backward at the knees. Many of the other hotels were in far better shape, with power and
and were serving food – of the soup-kitchen variety – bread and beans, rice and eggs. “It was awful, awful food, but at least it was something,” Laviolette said. TTT On Thursday at 9 a.m., with their best belongings stuffed in backpacks and a grungy pillowcase, the pair were finally able to make their escape. They were taken by taxi to the airport, where they found themselves in the scariest situation of their trip. Los C ab o s International Airport “was not really an airport anymore,” Laviolette says. The terminal had been closed after taking substantial damage in the storm, and the Canadian couple found themselves at a back of a line on the tarmac “that went for miles and miles. “The line just wasn’t moving and it was so hot and people were
passing out,” Laviolette says. With just two water bottles between them and repressive heat closing in, the couple felt in danger for the first time. Their saviour came in the form of a woman from the Canadian embassy who said a plane was on its way for stranded passengers from Canada. The Canadians were plucked from the unending line and – after enduring some heckles – taken to a hangar. With that relief came a sense they were lucky to be able to fly out of a disaster zone many have to continue living in. “It was definitely a reality check, just to see how bad the people there were suffering,” Laviolette says. “Just the thought that some people have to live with this, that we can go back to our civilized life, but they have to rebuild.” TTT That night, Laviolette, Ververgaert and 116 other would-be tourists touched down in Calgary, courtesy of a WestJet flight. It was one of four – including two by Sunwing Airlines – that returned stranded tourists to Canada. Before hitching another plane to Abbotsford the next morning for a reunion with their families, Laviolette and Ververgaert were booked into a hotel. “It was glorious,” Laviollette says. “We had the best showers we had in our lives.”

Often things aren’t as simple as expected Mark
Rushton On the
Other Hand I have learned there is truth to the adage that square pegs don’t fit in round holes, at least when the distance between the points of the square is greater than the diameter of the hole. My revelation had its genesis in a phone call a few days ago from a neighbour – “our well is dry.� At this time of year, it’s not an unusual occurrence for many who live on Sumas Mountain. Rain was in the forecast, indicating resuscitation of the water source was likely. Yesterday, I received a call . . . “there’s lots of water in the well, but still nothing at the house.� The reason for my involvement is that the neighbour’s husband is out of town on business, and while she is a most
capable and independent woman, she had exhausted all avenues to remedy the problem. So on Monday, we checked out everything and in the process of peering down the well, discovered water spraying from a broken pipe, some 10 feet down from the lid. Since her father, who now lives in a remote part of Quebec, had installed the well and its ancillary equipment, she gave him a call to see if he had experienced anything similar in the time he lived in the home, and what he had done to solve it. He explained he had manufactured a special ladder to fill into the well opening, and that she/we should use that to get inside, determine the exact problem and either fix it ourselves or at least give a qualified repairman an idea of what he would be facing (and charging). She located the ladder (it weighs a ton, she told me) and asked if I could arrive Tuesday morning to get it in the well and begin the remediation process.
Thus, yesterday morning, I arrived at her home. We hauled the steel angle iron with rebar treads creation down the hill to the well, climbed up on the well deck and hoisted the 100-pound-plus 16-foot ladder into a vertical position to slip it into the hole in the lid. And at that point, we discovered the
And at that point, we discovered the square peg, round hole dilemma.
square peg, round hole dilemma. The round hole was 17 inches wide, the ladder 18. A call was made to her father, exemplifying the incredible convenience of cellular phones and instant communication. There was a lot of pondering, numerous photos instantly emailed, and questions
about whether or not concrete contracts or steel expands. Despite the opinion from afar, I can’t believe that ladder was ever inserted through the hole. Its construction was more likely based on working with it in the well before the top cap was added, and permanently affixed with concrete. As it now stands, my neighbour is awaiting a visit, advice and possible repair from Abbotsford’s expert on all things related to the operation of wells. And if one of his repairmen refuses to slither through a 17-inch hole, then descend 10 feet into the gaping maw below to put things back into working order, I guess it may be back to me. On returning home, I discovered I had a light, aluminum ladder 20-feet long and, marvel of marvels, it’s only 16 inches wide. All I have to do now, if necessary, is to figure out how to get my shoulders through a 17-inch hole and, more importantly, back out again. markrushton@abbynews.com

We are aliens in our hometown Last evening was a wonderful summer’s eve to walk and enjoy the night air. We walked down McCallum Road towards the downtown area. I was born and raised in Abbotsford and the downtown area brings back memories of my youth. The people who are now in the downtown core are from a different walk of life that I once knew – drug deals happening under the dim business lights
along our way; people yelling obscenities as they proceeded on their way, obvious drug-related problems; people yelling at us from their cars as they pull out of the liquor store. We are aliens in our home town. I feel unsafe as we walk back home. I wonder what happened to my town, and I wonder how we can fix this. Are we going after those who choose to profit from the drug trafficking at huge price to us, our children, our fami-

as a city? We all should be safe to walk anywhere, welcomed and unafraid. So should newcomers to our town. We need to fix this at its early stage and not wait until it becomes rooted as normalcy.  We owe this to our children and theirs. The answer to this problem must be found, and it’s one we cannot ignore. Suzanne Digby Abbotsford

The author of “Rectify the harm that’s been done,� (Sept. 17) writes in support of those who require housing, and many of the points made are valid.  At the same time, I believe the Abby Digs proposal has merit, even if supportive and affordable housing options make it past the drawing board.  As far as permanent construction is concerned, it would take well over a year to go from breaking ground to housing those in need.    So even if Abby Digs is viewed as a stop-gap solution, it could protect several homeless individuals from another winter on the streets. It may be the only option that keeps yet another street person from being hospitalized due to frostbite. Portland, Ore., has supported their Dignity Village for 14 years. The reality that it is located many kilometres from the city centre does not appear to distress the inhabitants.  Sure, there’s a chance that a local camp may not become all that supporters hope for, yet even a trial that comes short of being a resounding success trumps the status quo.  And perhaps we should find out whether those without shelter have as many reservations about the project as those who sleep in a warm bed every night. Regina Dalton Abbotsford
lies, our society? A huge cost to human life and dignity. Do I keep pretending my world is the same? I look at a youth talking to himself on a park bench and wonder whose son he is. Handouts are not the answer as they only seem to enable that life choice. What are we doing to stop those who are selling those drugs as they cripple our society, our families and our future

Program MENDs lifestyles The MEND (Mind, Exercise, Nutrition … Do it!) program begins in Abbotsford on Oct. 4. The free 10-week program runs Tuesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Eugene Reimer elementary, 3433 Firhill Drive, and gives families the tips and tools they need to live a healthy lifestyle and maintain a healthy weight. The idea of the program is to provide families with the ability to experience how small changes in physical activity, healthy eating and lifestyle choices can make a significant difference.
The program in Abbotsford is open to children ages seven to 13 and their parents or caregivers. MEND is funded by the provincial government and supports Healthy Families BC, the government’s public health strategy that focuses on leadership, prevention and health improvement. Almost 400 children and their parents or caregivers have participated or registered in MEND to date. It is currently registering new participants at 16 sites across B.C., including Abbotsford.

More than 350 participate in trek Cyclists and volunteers in BC Lung Association event Abbotsford’s Nancy and Cory Kornicki were among more than 350 cyclists and volunteers at the BC Lung Association’s Bicycle Trek for Life and Breath over the weekend. Held annually on the second weekend in September, the event attracts cyclists of all ages and fitness levels for a fully supported two-day, 200-kilometre ride from White Rock to Cultus Lake and back. The event has raised more than
$6 million in support of vital lung health research and programs over the past 30 years. Originally founded by a small group of lung health advocates, the event has since grown to include hundreds of veteran trekkers for whom the event is a cherished yearly reunion. For information on to become a part of next year’s trek, call the BC Lung Association toll-free at 1-800665-5864 or email trek@bc.lung.ca.

• 1/2 lb. (250g) mixed, fresh wild mushrooms (shitake, enoki, crimini) • 1/2 lb. (250g) button mushrooms • 2 tbsp (25ml) butter or margarine • 2 tbsp (25ml) fresh thyme leaves OR 2 tsp. (10ml) dried • 6 eggs • 1/4 cup (50ml) grated Parmesan cheese • 1/2 cup (125ml) shredded gruyere cheese
A Frittata (Italian in origin) is an omelet where the filling ingredients are mixed in with the eggs before cooking. It is always served flat rather than folded. Try making one to use up leftovers. If you are a mushroom connoisseur you will enjoy this rendition accented with fresh herbs. Wipe mushrooms clean; then slice. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet. Sauté mushrooms for about 5 minutes. Add thyme leaves and cook 1 minute longer. Beat eggs and stir in Parmesan cheese. Pour over mushrooms in skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat until eggs are almost set. Sprinkle with gruyere cheese. Wrap handle or skillet with aluminum foil to heatproof. Broil until cheese melts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to serving plate and cut into wedges (makes 4 to 6 servings)

Sex assault accused charged with breach
Give your home a Fall

Amrik Kular now faces three counts
Vikki HOPES
Abbotsford News
An Abbotsford man who was arrested in July for an alleged sexual assault was recently charged with breaching his bail conditions. Amrik Kular, 43, has had the breach charge added to his two previous charges of sexual assault and committing an indecent act. Police would not reveal the specifics of Kular’s alleged breach, other than saying it was not sexual in nature. Typical conditions that people must abide by after being released on bail include keeping the peace and abstaining from alcohol and drugs. Not following those conditions can result in a breach charge. Kular was arrested after the breach and was released on $1,000 bail. He was previously arrested and charged after an incident on the afternoon of July 26 in which an 18-year-old girl contacted the Abbotsford Police Department. She reported that she had been waiting at a bus stop in the 2400 block of Montrose Avenue when she was grabbed by a man. She said the man wrapped his arms around her from the front and wouldn’t let go. The girl was able to free herself, and the man then moved a short distance away and appeared to be exposing and touching himself, according to police. The man was located and arrested a short distance away. Kular was charged two days later and was released on $1,500 bail under conditions that include not being alone with anyone under the age of 16 and not attending parks and other places where children under 16 are expected to be. He is next scheduled to appear Oct. 16 in Abbotsford provincial court on all three charges.
Mobile emergency centre A mobile reception centre, to be used by emergency services in the event of an incident, is now ready in case of an emergency. In 2013, the Abbotsford Emergency Program received a donation of a trailer to use as a centre from Canadian Western Bank and the Rotary Club of Abbotsford. The trailer has been outfitted with the appropriate shelving, lighting and tables, and the emergency support services (ESS) team is now able to set up anywhere to assist displaced residents during an emergency. The ESS team will also benefit from having all of their supplies in a central location that can be moved to remote sites. Services include providing necessities such as food, clothing and lodging to residents who have lost their home or are not able to return to their home for safety reasons.

Changing times for development City preparing new community plan to reflect growth, land availability Abbotsford, including aesthetics and loss of sunlight. A year later, a second public hearing took place and council gave the green light to Quantum to construct the building, given some design changes. A worldwide economic downturn around that time pushed new factors into the development equation, which is now being reviewed for future planning. Public hearings must be held for projects that require official community plan (OCP) or zoning bylaw amendments, meaning they fall outside the city’s current plans for that specific location, giving those who feel their property will be affected by any potential changes an opportunity to speak. Siri Bertelsen, the city’s manager of planning and development, explained that in the case of the zoning bylaw,
starting to push up against its urban development boundaries. “Now you are starting to see that growth start to turn back into the city centre.” And as the city and developers navigate through the changes occurring in Abbotsford, residents have an opportunity to provide input on what will happen in their neighbourhoods. The city has opened the OCP process to public consultation over the next 18 months. Though opinions on how a city should develop are usually varied, the city’s planners are looking for guidance from those who live in the city. A flood of opinions, ideas and feedback wouldn’t be daunting, explained Bertelsen. “That’s every planner’s dream.” Getting this input from the community may help alleviate future frustrations. The divide between the vision of a developer can often come into conflict with

Citizen advisory committee members named for OCP project
The city has announced members of the new citizen advisory commission for the Abbotsforward official community plan (OCP) update project. Over 30 applications for the commission were received and a nine-member group was selected by council last week. “We are very pleased with the response from residents wishing to be a part of this important advisory committee,” said Mayor Bruce Banman. “The residents represented on this commission will have direct input into Abbotsford’s updated OCP which will guide how future
development occurs across our city for years to come.” The Citizen Advisory Commission will meet once a month and will review land use policy, help with community engagement and give feedback on new planning ideas. The members of the commission are: Gurminder S. Gobindpuri, Nissa Hildebrand, Sonya Hossmann, Denise Laier, Aaron Levy, Eden Luymes, Carson Noftle, Crystal Salter and Hardeep Sidhu. The public engagement activities of the Abbotsforward OCP update project officially launched on July 1 at Abbotsford’s Canada Day celebrations, and the project
team has since engaged with nearly 600 residents at eight different local events over the summer. As part of the initial public engagement campaign, the “Picture Your City” photo activity, which asked residents to send in what they like, dislike and wish for in Abbotsford, received over 95 photo submissions. A sample of the photos taken can be found atabbotsforward.ca Staff will begin compiling all the information from the community engagement events, as well as from initial research, analysis and workshops to prepare a background research report for council to consider next month.

SNORING?
SLEEP APNEA?
As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall a sleep. In most cases also stops snoring and gasping for air (sleep apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner all night. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity. What people truly experience: I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH #23 NPN 80027595 Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it.

On final day of Web.com Tour season, Taylor earns PGA Tour card and Hadwin clinches top spot on money list Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin grew up in the
Nick Taylor secured his PGA Tour card with the low round of the day at the Web.com Tour Championship on Sunday, while Adam Hadwin (right photo) locked up first place on the Web. com Tour money list.
Ledgeview junior golf program together, and now they’re going to the PGA Tour together. The two Abbots-ford golfers, both 26 years of age, combined for an epic Sunday at the Web.com Tour Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. – the final event of the season on North America’s secondtier men’s pro golf circuit. Hadwin had already assured himself a PGA Tour card for 2014-15 by virtue of his fourth-place finish on the Web. com Tour regularseason money list. But he didn’t stop
there – he capped a torrid run through the tour’s fourevent playoff series by tying for seventh place at the Web.com Championship, which earned him $30,125 and vaulted him into top spot on the overall money list (regular season and playoffs combined) with total earnings of $529,792. That first-place distinction is a mighty valuable one – it grants Hadwin fully exempt status for the upcoming PGA Tour season, along with an invitation to the prestigious Players Championship, which is often referred to as golf’s unofficial “fifth major.” Befitting his rising stock, the Web.com Tour flew him to New York City on Monday to ring the closing bell at the NASDAQ Stock Market. “Going into these playoffs, I didn’t think what I just achieved was possible,” Hadwin told the Web.com Tour website, alluding to the fact that he was more than $220,000 behind erstwhile moneylist leader Carlos Ortiz heading into the post-season. “I had a missed cut and three top-10s (including a win at the Chiquita Classic) in

these playoffs. It caps an amazing year, an amazing run that I’ve been on these last five weeks. “The feeling is indescribable. I’m over the moon, as they say.” Taylor, meanwhile, authored the round of his life on Sunday to secure his own PGA Tour card. Needing to finish in the top 25 on the playoffs-only money list (excluding golfers like Hadwin who had already earned PGA Tour cards during the regular season), Taylor was projected to finish 24th after a rough third round left him tied for 62nd (out of 65 golfers who made the cut). If a lowerranked golfer lit it up in the final round, he was in grave danger of slipping out of the top 25. But Taylor came out firing on Sunday in the face of incredible pressure, fashioning a phenomenal seven-under 63 that was the best round of the day by two strokes. He shot up the leaderboard to finish tied for 21st, earning $10,800, which left him 18th on the playoffs-only money list (earnings of $44,335) and thus locked up his PGA Tour card. Taylor is 37th on the priority access list for PGA Tour events, which combines the 25 golfers who earned their cards during the regular season with the 25 card recipients from the playoffs. “If I stayed where I was (after the third round), I wouldn’t have gotten my card,” Taylor noted in a phone interview with The News. “I wanted to go out and shoot a low round (on Sunday) and at least make a little bit more money and not have to really sweat it out. “I was making putt after putt, and that’s really what was working. Everything was obviously pretty good, but I don’t think I missed a putt all day.” Add it all up, and it was a fantastic day for Continued on A34

Abbotsford News Wednesday, September 24, 2014
The University of the Fraser Valley women's basketball team rallied to split a pair of preseason games against the Calgary Dinos last week. Playing on their home court, the Envision Athletic Centre, the new-look Cascades suffered a 58-48 loss in Thursday's opener. With six players missing from last year's CIS bronze medalwinning roster, including starters like Aieisha Luyken, Nicole Wierks and Kayli Sartori, UFV struggled to find chemistry in the first half and trailed 30-16 at the break. Head coach Al Tuchscherer's charges played much better in
the second half, drawing within two points of the Dinos early in the fourth quarter. But Calgary responded with a 7-0 run to put the game away. Shayna Litman led UFV with 10 points, while Sarah Wierks had eight points and 14 rebounds. Sarah Wierks was the difference in Friday's rematch – the fifth-year c e n t r e racked up 19 points and 16 boards in a 61-54 victory. Three other Cascades also scored in double digits – Kaitlyn Brink (13), Shayna Litman (12), and Nataliia Gavryliuk (10). “We had a much more determined start for our second game,” Tuchscherer said.

Adam Hadwin Twitter photo
B.C.’s three PGA Tour-bound golfers – Merritt’s Roger Sloan and Abbotsford’s Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor (from left) – posed for a selfie after Sunday’s Web.com Tour Championship.
‘It’s unbelievable’
From A32
Abbotsford golf, and for a pair of athletes who came up through the local ranks together. Taylor, a Yale Secondary product, had the starrier amateur career, rising to No. 1 in the world amateur rankings in 2009 and winning the Ben Hogan award at the NCAA’s top male golfer in 2010 for his exploits with the University of Washington Huskies. But Hadwin found success quicker as a pro – the Robert Bateman Secondary and University of Louisville grad burst onto the scene with a fourth-place finish at the PGA Tour’s RBC Canadian Open in 2011, and came within a whisker of earning his PGA Tour card as a Web.com Tour member in 2012. Both had their bouts with adversity – Taylor toiled three seasons on the third-tier PGA Tour Canada (formerly known as the Canadian Tour) before earning the right to move up to the Web.com Tour this season. Hadwin’s disappointing 2013 Web. com campaign saw him saw him miss 10 cuts in 21 events and finish 74th on the money list
to barely retain his Web. com Tour status. But here they are, about to embark on their PGA adventure together. The two met for the first time at the age of 13 at Ledgeview, but really became close this year when they shared a house in Phoenix over the winter and traveled together on the Web. com Tour. “We grew up on the same golf course, and to be heading to the PGA Tour together, it’s unbelievable,” Taylor marveled. “I don’t know another way to describe it. “Adam’s known for a long time that he’d be going to the PGA Tour . . . but to play as consistently as he has and then get the No. 1 spot is huge.” Merritt’s Roger Sloan is also graduating from the Web.com Tour (he’s 46th in the priority rankings), making it three B.C. rookies on the PGA Tour in 2014-15. The season begins with the Frys. com Open, Oct. 9-12 at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, Calif. “For us two along with Roger – three guys from B.C. within a two-hour drive – it’s pretty cool,” Taylor said.
Home sweep home for UFV
Abbotsford News Wednesday, September 24, 2014
The University of the Fraser Valley soccer teams, playing on their home turf, dismantled the UNBC Timberwolves on the weekend, combining to sweep four games. The Cascades women got a pair of outstanding performances from Shelby Beck as they ran their record to 5-1 on the season. That leaves them with a Pacific Division-leading 15 points, though Trinity Western and Victoria (both 3-0-1) each have two games in hand. On Friday at Abby Senior’s Panther Field, fourth-year striker Beck struck twice to lift the Cascades to a 2-1 victory. She was the team’s offensive engine once again in Saturday’s rematch, notching a goal and an assist in UFV’s thoroughly dominant 3-0 win. Monika Levarsky and Sunayna Samra scored once apiece, while backup keeper Emily Harold wasn’t required to make a single save en route to her first career

Kara Delwo of the UFV women’s soccer team went airborne for a header vs. the UNBC Timberwolves. victory and shutout. Beck’s production earned her conferencewide recognition on Tuesday, as she was named Canada West’s first star of the week across all women’s sports. “Shelby had an outstanding weekend,” said Cascades coach Rob Giesbrecht. “Her goal on Saturday was special, as she man-

aged to pick the top corner from 35 yards out. Shelby has persevered to get herself physically ready to compete at the Canada West level and it’s great to see her now have the opportunity to showcase her outstanding attacking ability.” The UFV men leveled their record at 3-3 with victories on Friday (3-1) and Saturday (2-1) over
UNBC. Connor MacMillan, Juan Pablo Mora Perea and Colton O’Neill scored in the opener, and Ryan Liddiard and Harry Owen did the damage in the rematch. “I am delighted that we got six points this weekend,” said Cascades coach Alan Errington. “It’s a step in the right direction. I thought we played very well tonight, especially in the first half when we had a lot of chances we could have scored on. I thought both goals were very good. We dodged a couple of bullets, but I thought we deserved to win.” The Cascades play at home again this weekend. On Friday, they depart their usual home digs at Panther Field to take on the Thompson Rivers WolfPack at Bateman Park (women 2 p.m., men 4 p.m.). On Saturday, they’re back at Panther Field for games vs. the UBC-Okanagan Heat (women 5 p.m., men 7:30 p.m.).

The Abbotsford Pilots took their lumps last week against a pair of local rivals. On Thursday, the junior B hockey club headed down the road to Langley to take on the Knights, a recently relocated franchise which used to be known as the North Delta Devils. The Knights prevailed 4-1 behind a 43-save performance from goalie Nickolas Trenciansky, with Pilots captain Brady Lawlor spoiling his shutout bid at the 17:22 mark of the third

Kyle Lennea scored twice for the Outlaws, while Lawlor, once again, was his team’s lone source of offence.

Herta
Barbara Mary Dyer of Abbotsford, BC passed away peacefully on September 17, 2014 at Menno Hospital at the age of 93. Survived by loving husband Ivan, 71 years together, son Bob, daughter Nancy (Grant) Doheny, sister Dureen Zeller (Rolf), nieces Susan (Grant) Woff and Karen (Craig) Dykes, grandsons Hew Dyer and Evan Doheny, and great grandsons, Ethan and Owen Doheny. Barbara had a heart of gold, an empathy for the troubled and a sympathetic shoulder that was always there to lean on. She loved animals, cats especially, but there wasn’t any animal she didn’t care for. Among the many rescued over the years were many dogs, cats, even owls, skunks and racoons. Barb worked along side husband Ivan for many years in several business adventures and did volunteering in the health arena notably on Salt Spring Island. Barbara and Ivan took time to travel throughout the US and Canada, going so far as to buy a 52’ boat and travel from Montreal to Florida via the Inland Intercoastal waterway at least three times, Barbara being “the crew” while Ivan captained the boat. After moving to the west coast and living in Mission, BC a US cross country journey was in order before settling on Sumas Mountain and building a homestead, living there for 20 years. The family expresses many thanks for the wonderful care Mom received from the staff of Menno Hospital and Dr. Pauls. In lieu of flowers, Barb would wish donations to the SPCA. Service to be held at Simple Cremations, Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel, 11969 216 St., Maple Ridge at 2:00 pm, September 25, 2014.

Herta was predeceased by her husband, Abe (1988); two sons, Arthur (1949) and Hank (1988); and grandson, Tyrel (2010). Her primary career was that of wife and mother. When her youngest child began elementary school, she embarked on her 25 year career in Canada Post, retiring as Mount Lehman Post Master in 1992. Herta’s hands were never still.

Lydia Peters Schroeder, long time member of the Central Heights MB Church, passed away at the age of 95. She was surrounded by her earthly family as she peacefully slipped away to join her family in heaven on September 7, 2014. II Corinthians 5:8, “We are conŵdent, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” Lydia was predeceased by her parents, 3 siblings, son Dennis Peters as well as husbands William Peters and Martin Schroeder. She will be lovingly remembered by her children Lynda (David) Pierce, Judy Peters (Jeff Martin), Bob (Linda) Peters, and Bonnie Peters (CJ Neufeld), daughter-in-law Susan Peters, 10 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren and her brother Arthur Pump. Lydia lived in Germany and Russia in her early years, enduring many hard times. She came to Canada in 1929, and settled in Vancouver. After she married William John Peters, they resided in Abbotsford where they raised a family of 5 children. During those years she was a busy wife and mother and didn’t have much time for herself. Bill died in 1971 and she married Martin Schroeder in 1975. Lydia enjoyed oil painting, bowling, travelling and playing the piano. Her faith and her church were always an integral part of her life. Family and friends were also very important to her. She took special joy in her grandchildren, focusing her life around the family.

A private service was held at Bethel United Methodist Church on September 2, 2014 at 3180 Fort Campbell Blvd, Clarksville, TN 37042. On October 11th, Lillian, alongside her husband Donald, will ceremoniously be laid to rest in the Cooper family plot, at the Huntingdon Protestant Cemetery in Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. Lillian, the daughter of the late Winston and Evelyn Rankin Cooper, was born on September 16, 1927. Lillian was a strong, pioneering woman who tackled life head on. Early in marriage, she juggled a career, children and household. According to her five children, Lillian epitomized the role of “homemaker”. All that knew Lillian marveled at her strength, endurance, sense of humor and endless love and concern for others. Lillian is survived by her five children: Clinton (Sharon), Douglas (Linda), Barbara (David), Patti (Dan), Karen (Bruce) and many wonderful grandchildren.

Barbara Joan Born July 11, 1931 in Winnipeg, Manitoba and passed peacefully at Bevan Lodge in Abbotsford, BC, September 20, 2014. She was predeceased by her husband of 42 years Gordon, father Edward and mother Jean Easterbrook. She is survived by daughter Susan Avery (Bob) and sons Don (Denise), Rob (Marnie) and Terry (Naomi), grandchildren Brad (Megan) Avery, Doug McKay, Niki Bell (Ryan), Steven McKay, Brendan McKay (Joanna), Jessica McKay, Toni Stirrett (Simon), Bobby McKay, 2 great granddaughters Sarah Avery and Jada Bell, brother Daun Easterbrook, brother-in-law Steve Medve and dear friends Gert and Murphy Shuker. Barb grew up on a farm in Carragana near Porcupine Plain, Saskatchewan during the depression era 1930s and WWII. Many stories of farmyard pranks, riding horses to school and listening to distant battles on the radio. Her father being the Reeve of Carragana, she recounts Tommy Douglas being at the farm for lunch on occasion. Warm memories of Marion and George McCabe and Ken and Bob Hopper. After high school Barb spent 3 grueling but enjoyable years attaining her RN at Victoria Union teaching hospital in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, where she met her husband Gord. Barb worked in Calgary nursing for one year with childhood friend and classmate Isabel MacDonald before returning to PA in 1954 and nursing at Victoria Union until 1968. Barb was intimately involved with the birth of Medicare in Canada in 1961 with Dr. Orville Hjertaas as her family doctor and workmate. With 4 kids in tow, Barb and Gord moved to Abbotsford in the summer of 1968. Barb was an RN, Head Nurse and Supervisor at MSA Hospital, Maternity and 2 East, until her retirement in 1988. Barb enjoyed entertaining for the Airshow, travelling the Caribbean and RVing with Gord, Gert and Murphy all over the southern US and northern Mexico. Many thanks to the staff at Bevan for their wonderful care. A celebration of life is planned for Friday, September 26 from 3:00 - 7:00 pm at daughter Susan’s home.
