City’s garbage agreement ends next year A5

Abbotsford News

Two people in Abbotsford have reported that their cats have been killed or wounded after being shot with a pellet gun in the past week. Angela Wartberg said her cat, Charlie, was wounded between 1 and 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4. The 16-month-old cat returned to his home on Seal Way – located south of Peardonville Road and east of Clearbrook Road – after having been outside. When Wartberg began petting him, she noticed a bump on his left side. Upon closer inspection, she found a pellet lodged halfway in. She was able to pull out the object, and Charlie otherwise seemed fine. Wartberg took him to the vet the next day, and he received an injection to prevent an infection. Wartberg, who said she has no idea who would want to harm Charlie, reported the matter to police and also contacted The News. “I hope we can warn others as I know there are a lot of people with cats around this neighbourhood,” she said. Wartberg said she’s just happy that Charlie was not hurt more seriously. Meanwhile, Steve Allingham says his family’s eight-year-old cat Daisy died after being shot with a pellet Continued on 6

Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

A proposal to consolidate agricultural equipment dealers to a centralized location outside the city’s urban development boundary received preliminary approval at council on Monday and will move to an upcoming public hearing. The proposal would see the agricultural businesses move to east Abbotsford on a 33acre parcel at the intersection of Atkinson and Eldridge roads. Currently, many equipment dealers are located along Sumas Way – also home to many commercial retailers – which causes congestion and

traffic issues. Corpus Management Group (CMG), which has brought the concept forward, states it has been endorsed by the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, the Fraser Valley Indo-Canadian Business Association and the University of the Fraser Valley. While the project has support from agri-businesses – CMG lists PrairieCoast John Deere, Avenue Machinery, Caliber Equipment, and Handlers Equipment as being interested in moving to the site – city staff recommended the project be denied. The staff report says the project will influence the development of lands outside the urban development

boundary, and it will be challenging to service the proposal and the city is unable to provide industrial-level water supply service, sewer and fire protection. But the report from CMG says farm equipment dealers do not require the same level of sanitary, water and storm services as a typical industrial development. It indicates the site will be provided with onlot septic disposal systems. The project requires rezoning of the site and an official community plan (OCP) amendment. The site is currently designated as suburban residential and city staff noted the city has yet to grow into the area residentially and is years

away from understanding the long-term residential needs of the area. Coun. Patricia Ross said, “I think the threat is very real that some of these businesses will leave town. Some of them already have for a lack of space to go to.” Coun. Henry Braun said if the city moved ahead on the project and later there is a problem with inadequate services, taxpayers will have to foot the bill. He said the city has all sorts of industrial land – not on Fraser Highway – that needs to be developed. Council voted in favour of sending the proposal to public hearing, with Couns. Braun and Loewen opposed.

Abby ends garbage deal with Metro Transfer station agreement will end next year Alex BUTLER and Jeff NAGEL Abbotsford News

Abbotsford will keep its garbage out of Metro Vancouver incinerators after council voted Monday to terminate its agreement to use the Metro-owned Matsqui Transfer Station. Since 1988, the city has had an agreement where Metro owns and operates the local transfer station and trucks the garbage to the Cache Creek Landfill. The deal saw Abbotsford send garbage to Metro and pay the tipping fees it has set – but the agreement ends with the competed filling of the Cache Creek landfill annex, expected by the end of 2016. Metro is planning to expand incineration in 2018, and increase tipping fees by about 50 per cent over the next three years. Abbotsford has planned for years to find an alternative to avoid the increase in fees and keep local garbage out of incinerators, which the city has long

opposed. Council also voted to award the new contract to First Class Waste Services, for a two-year term with options to renew, starting late next year. First Class owns and operates a certified transfer station in Abbotsford. A report from staff says the change to First Class will result in up to $87,000 lower annual costs than the city currently pays and will avoid an annual cost increase of up to $302,000 based on Metro’s plans to increase rates. Council praised the plan, with Coun. John Smith saying it will stop Abbotsford’s garbage from being “burned and blown back at us,” while saving money for the city. While Metro’s recycling rate is climbing, it remains about 10 per cent short of a target of 70 per cent, a key assumption Metro has made in estimating it must build a new waste-to-energy plant capable of handling 370,000 tonnes per

year of garbage that will no longer head to the Cache Creek landfill. A higher target of 80 per cent diversion by 2020 would reduce but not eliminate the need for a potential second incinerator, according to Metro. A broadened ban on the dumping of organics takes effect Jan. 1, extending mandatory food waste pickup to major business generators such as restaurants, grocers and other food handlers. But a Metro report warns all of the region’s disposal bans will “become ineffective” if the provincial government doesn’t approve Bylaw 280. The waste-flow bylaw would outlaw commercial haulers from sending garbage out of the region – usually first to Abbotsford and then south to U.S. landfills – thereby evading Metro’s higher tipping fees and its disposal bans. The bylaw was passed by Metro’s board a year ago and is awaiting Environment Minister Mary Polak’s decision, amid

intense lobbying from haulers who oppose it. Critics claim the regulation aims to justify a new incinerator by penning up garbage in the region to feed it, but Metro officials insist the bylaw is essential or its waste services will be underfunded. Metro now estimates 100,000 tonnes of garbage – about 20 per cent of all commercially collected waste – will exit the region via Abbotsford this year, twice as much as did in 2012. The regional district is expected to increase its tipping fee by $1 to $109 per tonne next year. In contrast, haulers can dump in Abbotsford for an estimated $70 a tonne, according to Metro. The lost tipping fees are also beginning to add up – they’re expected to total $11 million in lost revenue for Metro this year. If Bylaw 280 isn’t approved, Metro forecasts a $6-million deficit in its waste management budget next year.

No contact with family since mid-July The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) is appealing to the public to help locate a man who has not contacted family or friends since leaving for a camping trip in mid-July. Tyson Douglas Cowie, 28, was reported missing from his Abbotsford residence on July 22. Const. Ian MacDonald said Cowie had advised family that he was going on a camping trip in the Vancouver area on July 12 and was expected to be gone for several days.

Cowie has gone on extended camping trips in the past, including out of province and out of country, and has always returned, MacDonald said. “However, the length of his absence and lack COWIE of contact with family and friends have greatly increased the level of concern,” MacDonald said.

He said police have been working closely with the family and it was agreed yesterday (Thursday) that the investigation would include a public appeal. Cowie is six feet tall, weighs 180 pounds and has brown eyes and long brown hair. He almost always wears the toque featured in the photo.

gun on Thursday night. He said the cat was in his backyard on Robertson Avenue when she was hit, resulting in one of her ribs being shattered and her left lung being torn. Daisy did not survive the night and he said the family is devastated. â€œShe was not only a pet, but a mem-

ber of the family, as well as a therapy cat, as my wife suffers from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder),â€? Allingham said. He said Daisy was the â€œpack leaderâ€? of the house, which also includes a great Dane cross and four younger cats. Allingham reported the incident to police. â€œWe want to get the word out and

find justice,â€? he said. Const. Ian MacDonald confirmed that both incidents have been reported to the Abbotsford Police Department (APD), and these are the only two of this nature currently on file. He said police receive occasional reports of incidents involving pellet guns, paint guns and air soft rifles. Often, homes and cars are hit,

either intentionally or because someone is being careless, MacDonald said. He said reports of animals being targeted are rare, but â€œthereâ€™s always the potential of someone being even more sinisterâ€? than shooting at inanimate objects.

Fraser hospitals screening for ebola Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Fraser Health officials are confident they’ll be able to safely isolate any ebola patient that arrives in the region at Surrey Memorial Hospital and prevent any secondary spread of the disease ravaging West Africa. Health care workers in the region have already intercepted a number of suspected ebola cases but then ruled them out following secondary screening, said Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin, Fraser’s executive medical director for infection prevention and control. Those patients weren’t tested because it was determined from their answers to questions that they had not been to the specific areas where the virus is circulating.

“We obviously had no confirmed cases but we did have a number we had to evaluate,” Brodkin said. “Half a dozen perhaps so far. People come back to Canada from Africa every day. So it’s really inevitable that we’re going to see people who have been to that part of the world who have a fever.” Provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall has also predicted B.C. may see a few cases of ebola arrive from Africa, similar to the first confirmed ebola case in the U.S. that was announced last week in Texas. “Given the size of the outbreak in west Africa and given how easily people travel around the globe, it is certainly possible that we will see a real case at some point,” Brodkin added.

Notice of Public Hearing to consider amendments to Abbotsford Of¿cial Community Plan Bylaw, 2005; and Abbotsford Zoning Bylaw, 2014 Abbotsford Council will hold a Public Hearing at 7:00 pm on October 20, 2014, in the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, B.C., under the provisions of the Local Government Act to consider the following bylaws. At the Public Hearing, all persons who believe their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaws will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaws that are the subject of the hearing. The following is a synopsis of the bylaws amending the Of¿cial Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw of the City of Abbotsford, and is not deemed to be an interpretation. A copy of each of these bylaws and relevant background documentation may be inspected in the Planning Services Division (2nd Floor), Abbotsford City Hall, 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, B.C., on October 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 20, 2014 between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm.

“The risk to British Columbians is extremely low. Even if a true case actually arrives I have every confidence that that case will be quickly isolated and managed in a way that means there would be no secondary spread or outbreak in British Columbia.” All patients who arrive at Fraser hospital emergency departments with a fever are being asked about their travel history and they’re taken to isolation areas for further secondary questioning if they indicate they’ve been in west Africa in the last 21 days – ebola’s incubation period. The virus can only be through direct contact with bodily fluids of a patient who has symptoms. The deadly virus has killed more than 3,200 people in West Africa – close to half of those who contract it.

QUESTION

WebTalk

OF THE WEEK Do you agree with changes to distracted driving laws which would see three penalty points added to an offender’s licence?

Play boxes in parks Great idea! We’ve seen this set up in other city parks and people love finding the boxes. Caryn Zimmerman The stuff will get stolen. I grew up in South Van; they had this but volunteer park employees were in charge of pulling the equipment out, playing along with the kids. Then equipment was taken inside after. This would be a great idea, kids can have fun, older kids get volunteer credits, the equipment doesn’t disappear and lastly, no costs to the taxpayer. Valerie Simms

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Do you support a proposal to rezone land on Gladys Avenue to allow for supportive housing?

Super, nice idea. Crackheads and other ignorant people will ruin it. Victoria Gushue

177 responded:

I think it should work. Hopefully, no fights arise from it between kids or parents. But good idea. Joey Romano

YES: 44 % NO: 56 %

Oil posturing on a slippery slope Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views Every year when B.C.’s municipal politicians get together to preach to the provincial cabinet, there comes a point in the maze of resolutions where things go sideways. Last year it was a misinformed, impossible demand to ban all traces of genetic engineering. Before that they thumbed their mobile phones and denounced wireless power meters. Both votes passed by narrow margins in a half-empty chamber, with many delegates focused on the serious community issues they are elected to address. This year it was a charge led by Burnaby to denounce the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion. And this time it was defeated. Credit for this sudden attack of common sense goes largely to North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring. Here’s part of his address to the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler:

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are elected to handle things like roads and water and sewer and land use, police, fire, garbage. “We’re not here to talk about social policy, child poverty or heaven forbid, pipelines. “Those kinds of things dilute our credibility as an organization. We’re becoming a social policy activist group rather than a group of municipal politicians. “Half of this resolutions book is stuff that’s outside of our purview …. If you want to do social policy, get your butt elected to the provincial legislature.” Burnaby, New Westminster, Victoria and Vancouver were undeterred. In tax-rich urban centres one can make a living at local politics. And grandstanding works. Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow rattled off a jumbled history of refineries in his region, noting that the sole surviving Chevron plant is bringing in crude by trucks and trains because the 60-year-old pipeline is oversubscribed. He didn’t explain how stopping

a pipeline upgrade would keep it open, or improve oil safety. Volkow repeated the protester myth that a new pipeline would introduce diluted bitumen to the coast. Trans Mountain started shipping dilbit in the late 1980s. Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar and others from along the Interior pipeline route pointed out another flaw. If southern cities want to wander outside their mandate to make this gesture, why target only this pipeline and ignore rail lines and highways that cross the same rivers and streams? Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan boasted that after his first court challenge to the National Energy Board was tossed out, his high-priced eco-lawyer found a constitutional angle. Cha-ching! Meanwhile, professional protesters bikelock their necks to the fence at Burnaby’s Westridge oil terminal, and a radical Simon Fraser University professor revives his Occupy Vancouver team to step up the ground war if courts falter.

In tax-rich urban centres one can make a living at local politics. And grandstanding works.

The comedy of all this was illustrated by Coun. Robin Cherbo from Nelson, who assured delegates he uses synthetic oil in his vehicle. Is that derived from organic sunflowers? And what significance does that gesture have compared with the gasoline and jet fuel that carried 1,200 delegates to Whistler? Cherbo assumes that Ottawa can simply direct Alberta’s oil industry to start refining all the heavy oil there. Half a century into this industrial mega-project, this stuff should just be banned from pipelines. Peace, man. This is why election-time posturing by local politicians is a slippery slope. Not only do they lack authority, they and their staff lack the required expertise and information. The Trans Mountain pipeline starts in Alberta and branches into the U.S. It is by definition federal jurisdiction. NEB hearings on its expansion continue, with expert input, especially on shipping risks, from the B.C. government, Green MLA Andrew Weaver and others. Municipal politicians should pipe down and defend their own performance. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

City should evict homeless from camps

Enough is enough. How much longer is Abbotsford city council, the Abbotsford Police Department, and the taxpayers of Abbotsford going to be held hostage by the vagrant terrorists they call the homeless. My guess is the BC Supreme Court is going to rule in favor of the BC/Yukon Drug War Survivors and now the insanity will really start. The 500 or so vagrants that are being relocated in Vancouver will be looking for a new community to terrorize. Abbotsford will have a new sign that says “We welcome all vagrants.” This sign will be seen all across Canada and the vagrants will come. A homeless camp on Valley Road. What a joke. These vagrants are not moving that far away from the Salvation Army’s free restaurant on Gladys Avenue. Has anyone done a survey to inquire if other Valley Road area residents want this camp in their backyard? Would this property be made available if it was on Eagle Mountain? I think not. Would the city allow vagrants to camp on Eagle Mountain? Not a chance. Then why in other residents’ neighbourhood? The vagrant camp on Gladys Avenue is

the highly visible one but there are many more. There are camps and reminders of previous camps all over Abbotsford. I assume these camps must have a positive effect on property values. I’ll have to check with the property owners on Gladys Avenue who are trying to sell their properties. The new vagrant camp at Highway 11 and north of South Fraser Way is at the back of my subdivision. I do not want this camp to remain. I do not want the children in our subdivision exposed to this lifestyle or drug abuse, nor do I want their safety jeopardized. I went to the City of Abbotsford’s bylaw department about this camp. Bylaw’s attitude is it’s not our problem – it’s not on our property. Typical City of Abbotsford response. This camp on Highway 11 is also located along a provincial highway rightof-way and a provincial fisheries stream (Marshall Creek) right-of-way. I assume this stream makes a fantastic sewer system for these vagrants. I went to MLA Michael de Jong’s office to inform them of this vagrant camp on a provincial right-of-way. They at least said they would check into it and get

back to me. As of this time, I’m still waiting for a return call. Might be the same as everyone else’s attitude – it’s not my backyard so I don’t give a damn. Might be the same reason residents drop off packages at the vagrant camp on Gladys Avenue. If I support the vagrants in your neighbourhood, the vagrants won’t turn up in my neighbourhood. It is not my intention to discriminate against these vagrants. During the summer it was announced there were approximately 140 vagrants living on our streets. Thirty percent were from the Lower Mainland. They failed to inform us how many of these vagrants were from Abbotsford. I assume, few. My position has always been that if they are from Abbotsford and living on the streets, let’s get them off the streets and get them the assistance they need. If they are from Prince George, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Toronto, etc. send them home. These out of town vagrants are not Abbotsford’s responsibility. This is my rant. I know I am not alone. C.

Help Empower Young Women Across BC

Boxes filled with activities and toys have been installed in three Abbotsford parks.

New play boxes at three parks

You can make a difference. 4good.abbynews.com

New play boxes full of fun activities for kids are available in local parks after Abbotsford launched Live 5210 Play Boxes in three local parks. The boxes – which are filled with different toys, plays and instructions for games to help kids get active – are found in Grant Park, Berry Park and Pepin Brook Park.

The play boxes are supplied by the SCOPE initiative through BC Children’s Hospital in partnership with Healthy Abbotsford and its partners as a pilot project. The boxes use a combination lock for which families can access the code by signing up through Healthy Abbotsford at healthyabbotsford.ca/

play-boxes. Mayor Bruce Banman told the children in attendance that the boxes will help everyone play together. “Abbotsford is the first community in our province to have play boxes. We are very lucky.” 5210 refers to four guidelines to help encourage proper nutrition and physical ac-

tivity. It sets out that children should enjoy five or more vegetables and fruits everyday, not use screens (computers, television) for more than two hours, should play actively for at least one hour and choose healthy foods with no sugar sweetened drinks. For more visit healthyabbotsford.ca.

Greens form elector group

A15

Organization to endorse ‘green-minded’ candidates The new Abbotsford Greens Elector Organization will endorse “green-minded” independent candidates in the upcoming municipal election. A new release from the group said they are a registered elector organization and they will endorse all eligible candidates that subscribe to the core principals of the Global Greens: ecological wisdom, social justice, participatory democracy, nonviolence, sustainability, and respect for diversity. John Vissers, president of VISSERS the group, said the Abbotsford Greens are not about party politics, adding there is no party platform and no expectations of meetings with endorsed candidates once they are elected. He said that each candidate – endorsed or not – is entirely independent and responsible only to the citizens of Abbotsford. Their stated objective is to gather like-minded citizens of Abbotsford who share in a vision of bringing sustainable approaches to the city’s economic development, planning, transportation and quality of life. The group is challenging candidates to address

issues of transportation, through things like improving bus routes, electric car charging infrastructure, safe bicycle lanes, increasing motorcycle parking and bike racks. Another focus is the environment as “a thriving, healthy Abbotsford requires not just economic and social responsibility, but also more effective environmental protection bylaws.” The release added that they want to focus on tomorrow, in order to attract “high-tech, modern industries so our local graduates can live and work in Abbotsford.” Finally, a focus is on families so the city can be a “destination rather than a pit stop for our children who the leave for big cities not because they don’t enjoy it here but because Abbotsford isn’t equipped to fulfill their dreams of personal, professional and economic growth. Vissers said this week the Abbotsford Greens would seek out candidates asking for endorsement and the group expects to have a list of candidates they support by the end of the official nomination period on Friday (today). For more information on the Abbotsford Greens email Info@AbbotsfordGreens.ca or contact Vissers at 604-308-0520.

Penalty points for distracted drivers By Tom Fletcher Black Press

Talking on your handheld phone or fiddling with a music player while driving will cost you three penalty points in addition to a $167 fine, effective

Oct. 20. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced the additional penalty points Wednesday, making it the same as the penalty for texting and driving. Penalty points remain on a driving record for five years, and

result in a $175 increase in insurance as soon as they exceed three points. Fines and points for two distracted driving tickets in a year add up to at least $634. At nine points, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles considers licence suspension.

Abby organizations among public servants honoured Two Abbotsford organizations and their employees have been recognized for developing new, more efficient ways of providing services to the community. The Abbotsford Youth Health Centre and the Ministry of Agriculture’s plant and animal health branch have received the Lower Mainland Premier’s Award. The award honours a total of 196 publicservice employees and teams from the Lower Mainland who have made a difference in their communities. The Abbotsford Youth Health Centre was recognized in the “partnership” category for providing health services to high-risk youth. The team consists of the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Fraser Health, Abbotsford Community Services, Impact Drug and Alcohol Services, the Abbotsford school district and the Division of Family Practice.

The centre opened in the fall of 2010 and offered services by one doctor for three hours a week. The program has ex-

panded over three years to include several doctors, interns, residents and two nurse practitioners offering health-

care services four days a week. The plant and animal health branch was recognized in the “orga-

nizational excellence” category for achieving improved financial sustainability, significant time savings and in-

creased cost recovery. The branch consists of 50 veterinarians, technical and administrative staff and is re-

sponsible for maintaining animal and plant health in the province and responding to critical disease outbreaks.

Labourers’ legacies explored Reach exhibit focuses on CPR construction

HELP KIDS FIGHT CANCER! Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley invites all students K-12 to join

The heritage exhibition “Chinese Legacies: Building the Canadian Pacific Railway” has rolled into the Reach Gallery Museum in Abbotsford from its home at the Revelstoke Railway Museum. Chinese Legacies explores the story of the Chinese labourers who contributed to the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) between Port Moody and Craigellachie. The exhibit looks at their travel to B.C., their living and working conditions and the contribution they made to the construction of the railway. It explores the large Chinese community that prospered for many

years in Revelstoke and features the Kwong family, who played a prominent role in the town’s early history. Several thousand Chinese men worked on the CPR mainline through B.C., and it is estimated that between 600 and 2,220 of these workers died from accidents, disease and starvation. The Inland Sentinel newspaper, originally published at Yale, has many articles about the Chinese labourers, and while many people believed their presence was necessary to construct the railway, they were greatly resented by the white population, and suffered a great deal of discrimination.

Chinese labourers played a key role in the construction Submitted photo of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Their wages were half those of white men doing the same jobs, and they were often exploited by their crew bosses. Once the CPR was completed in 1885, many of the Chinese labourers were left destitute. Quite a few of them settled in Revelstoke, where they worked mainly as

cooks, servants, laundrymen, and labourers. “As was the case in Revelstoke, unemployed Chinese workers found employment in communities along the CPR, including Abbotsford,” said Kris Foulds, collections manager at The Reach. “The small, local Chinese community faded into history after our little Chinatown in the village of Abbotsford was destroyed by fire in the early part of the last century but the stories told in Chinese Legacies have a place in local history.” The exhibit, sponsored by Dragon Fort Restaurant, includes a railway workers’ campsite diorama, a slide presentation of historical photographs, original artifacts (some on loan from the Port Moody Station Museum), and text available in English, French, and Mandarin. Other exhibitions showing at The Reach Gallery Museum (32388 Veterans Way) until early January 2015 include: By Land and Sea (Prospect and Refuge), Betwixt and Between, and Between Madness and Delight.

Dr. Gwendolyn Point has been named the new chancellor of the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV). Point will take over from Dr. Brian Minter, who was UFV’s first chancellor and served two terms from 2008 to 2014. She will be installed at a ceremony in the coming months. Point’s connection to the Fraser Valley stretches back to the early 1980s when she and her husband Steven Point (former Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia and now a B.C. provincial court judge) took university-level courses there. Having also served on the University College of the Fraser Valley board of governors, and as an assistant professor at UFV, Point’s career and educational journey has paralleled the develop-

ment of UFV from college to university. The chancellor is the ceremonial head of UFV and serves as a member of the board of governors and the senate. Point will also preside over convocation, conferring UFV degrees, diplomas, and certificates. The chancellor is appointed by the UFV board of governors upon the recommendation of the Alumni Association and consultation with the UFV senate. “The UFV board of governors is delighted to welcome Dr. Gwen Point as UFV’s next chancellor,” said UFV board chair Barry Delaney. “Dr. Point has been part of UFV since our early days as Fraser Valley College. She knows us well and epitomizes our commitment to quality educaContinued on A23

tion, student success and regional development.” Currently, Point is an assistant professor in the school of social work at UFV. She teaches First Nations studies courses, including Stó:lo nation development, and Stó:lo communications and world view. She will be resigning her position as a faculty member at UFV in order to take on the voluntary chancellor role. She holds a Bachelor of Education degree from UBC, a post-baccalaureate diploma from SFU, and a Master of Education degree from the University of Portland, and is near completion of a doctorate in education from SFU. She also holds an honorary Doctor of Education degree from the University of Victoria. “It is a real honour to be asked and a privilege to take on this role,” said Point, a member of the Skowkale First Nation. “I started my postsecondary education here and I was very grateful for the access it provided at the time. It was wonderful to Gwendolyn Point not have to leave home to get an education. It was a very special experience when I returned here to teach full time in 2005. Now becoming chancellor and playing a leadership role at UFV sends a message that dreams do come true and good things do happen.” She said she will miss teaching and the opportunity it provided to pass on knowledge about Stó:lo culture and history to both aboriginal and non-aboriginal students. “My grandmother told me that what you know has no value,” she said. “It’s like sand in your hand unless you pass it on to others.” Outgoing chancellor Brian Minter hailed the university’s development and praised the appointment of his successor. “The success of our students will be UFV’s ongoing legacy, and I’m so appreciative of having played a small part in this unique journey,” Minter said. “I will always be a strong supporter of UFV in any way I can. The appointment of Gwen Point as our new chancellor is brilliant, and we will all benefit greatly from this new relationship. I wish her and everyone at UFV continued success.”

Now becoming chancellor...sends a message that dreams do come true.

Last week, hundreds of extra volunteer hands came to the aid of several non-profit organizations in communities across British Columbia. Envision Financial’s Make a Difference Days saw employees swap their offices for a day dedicated to giving back. Employees volunteered for 22 unique projects at 17 different local community organizations. In Mission, Envision Financial employees volunteered at the Senior Animals In Need Today Society, and in Abbotsford at Fraser Valley Gleaners and the Abbotsford Food Bank. “It’s nice to see all the different people out of their offices, having fun and helping out,” said Lynden Pennell, warehouse and group volunteer co-ordinator at the Abbotsford Food Bank. “We can’t do what we do year-round without this type of ongoing support.” Make a Difference Days is in its eighth year at Envision. Employees spend a half or a full workday giving back to local nonprofit agencies throughout the Lower Mainland and Kitimat. This year’s volunteers contributed a total of 827 hours of service in B.C. communities.

New logo for alumni

The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Alumni Association has unveiled a new logo, new look and new board. In partnership with UFV University Relations, the association has introduced UFV’s renovated alumni hall near the entrance of building B on the Abbotsford campus. The revamped hall now features three flatscreen TVs highlighting exceptional UFV alumni beneath a large green art piece. A new coat of green paint along the hall’s staircase leads to the association’s new logo featuring a stylistic leaf growing from the acronym “UFV.” For more, visit connect.ufv.ca.

Soon the weather will become more fall & winter-like and we’ll begin focusing more on indoors. Perhaps you will begin wondering if your home might be ready to sell early next year or Spring 2015. Now is the perfect time to complete all the little (or big) projects to make sure your home is market-ready when that time comes. Over time we tend to put off many ‘to dos’ for another day. When your home is for sale it goes under a ‘magnifying glass’. Make a list of what needs to be done and either do it yourself or hire someone to do it. Don’t wait until the ‘For Sale’ sign goes up before thinking about what you can do to make your home more saleable.

For the love of the game Girls hockey enrolment on the rise Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

TYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News

Pee wee rep players (from left) Robyn Ellis, Desi Wiens and Delaney Unger are three of more than 100 girls enrolled with the Abbotsford Female Hockey Association.

In 2008, six-year-old Delaney Unger stepped onto the ice for the first time as a hockey player and proceeded to go…pretty much nowhere. Delaney, like many of her fellow tykes, had barely skated before she strapped on her hockey gear for the first time. Her first few outings were “fun but challenging,” she remembers. But within a couple months, Delaney was feeling more comfortable and her older sister McKenna was starting to reconsider her previous disinterest in hockey. Fast forward six years and Delaney is blazing around the MSA Arena Ice alongside her teammates on her pee wee rep team. McKenna, meanwhile, is in Kelowna, where she is enrolled at the Pursuit of Excellence Hockey Academy with an eye on a university scholarship. As Abbotsford and the rest of the puck-playing world celebrate Girls Hockey Weekend over the next few days, stories like that of the Unger family are becoming emblematic of the development of female hockey. Minor hockey enrolment by boys across Canada has sagged in recent years, but more

girls are playing the game than ever before. Now in its eighth year, the Abbotsford Female Hockey Association (AFHA) ices nine girls teams and around 120 players and the growth of the female game can be seen everywhere from local rinks to national television. Girls, of course, have been playing hockey for decades. But the emergence of teams exclusively for females has broadened the appeal of the sport, many parents say. Linda Howe, whose 12-year-old daughter Carli had played on boys teams for three years before joining a girls’ squad last fall, says the female teams have given her child an experience not possible elsewhere. “The hockey is still good, but she feels she has more friends on her team,” Howe says. Friends and a vibrant dressing room social life are a constant theme among players speaking about their love of the game. Ask Robyn Ellis what she likes about the sport and she mentions playing with friends in the same breath as her love for scoring goals. Likewise, Delaney Unger cites the game’s competitiveness, but also the ability to play with other girls. Continued on A29

AFHA receives learn-to-skate grant From A28

Enrolment by girls has grown over the years, but like many associations its size, the AFHA faces an annual challenge to get enough players to form teams at younger ages. The association’s president, Darcy Forcier, says the organization is looking in a few different directions to grow the player base. The association has received a grant from RBC to host learn-to-skate programs for young girls, and it also encourages players to bring friends out to try hockey. “We’re hoping…we can appeal to some of the people who are now missing out,” Forcier says. In any discussion about hockey participation, the cost to play the sport is always the elephant in the room. But

Forcier says there are also some misconceptions. “When you look at competitive soccer or some of the other sports kids are playing, it’s in the same ballpark, it’s not dramatically different,” he says, given that seasons run for six months and can include twice-weekly ice-times. In the AFHA, fees run from $300 for tykes to $670 for midgets. The other challenge is skating. Everybody who signs up for, say, soccer knows how to run, while hockey requires skating skills many kids don’t have. But while previous skating ability is helpful, it’s not required. Marilyn Nair’s daughter Maya was in Grade 1 the first time she hit the ice. “She probably fell at least 20 times … but she had the biggest smile on her

face,” Nair remembers. “By Christmas, you would never know that she was that beginner skater.” At last week’s pee wee rep practice, many of the players blazing around the arena had originally found themselves tottering on the ice. Desi Wiens, for one, had played a lot of sports before giving hockey a try. She too didn’t know how to skate the first year, but today, she plays rep hockey and is enrolled in the Mennonite Education Institute’s hockey academy, along with several other girls. And the boys are taking notice. A year ago, she says some in her grade though it was weird that a girl would play Canada’s national past time. Now? “They’ve kind of accepted that girls can play hockey.”

Final home games for UFV soccer Gobbler time in Abby The UFV Cascades are heading into the secondlast weekend of the CIS season, and the last weekend of home play, and are still looking to clinch final playoff positions along the way. The Cascades travel to Vancouver on Friday to play UBC before returning to Abby on Saturday for a doubleheader against the University of Victoria Vikes (women 5 p.m., men 7:30 p.m, Abby Senior). The women’s team (7-1-0) is currently in a fight to the finish with the Vikes and the TWU Spartans (both 7-0-1) for leadership of the Pacific Division. A win on Saturday against Victoria could earn UFV the right to host a Canada West

quarter-final playoff game. The men currently sit in the fourth and final playoff spot in the Pacific Division with a 4-4-0 record, just ahead of TWU (3-4-1) and just behind UBCO (4-5-1). Last year the Cascades broke into the playoffs for the first time in their CIS history, earning third in the Canada West, and this weekend will largely determine whether UFV once again can find a place in the post-season. On Saturday the Cascades men will also honour their graduating players, Mark Village, Ravi Singh, Trevor O’Neill, Ryan Liddiard, and Juan Pablo Mora Perea, in a ceremony before the game.

The Abbotsford Rugby Club is hosting the 37th annual Gobbler Rugbyfest this weekend (Oct. 11-12) at Abbotsford Exhibition Park, bringing teams from across B.C. and the U.S. together in a fun-filled weekend of rugby, dancing, and country music. The tournament will start Saturday morning at

teams have registered for the weekend, and will be competing for a first-place cash prize of $800 on the men’s side and $500 on the women’s. Admission is free both to games and to the Gobbler Dance (featuring the Chris Buck Band) on Saturday starting at 8 p.m at the Agrifair Arena.

10 a.m. and continue through Sunday to a championship game at 2 p.m. The tournament is a fundraiser for the local rugby club, which runs programs and teams for players of all ages from kindergartners in the “Mini Rugby” program to seniors on the “Old Boys” squad. Fourteen

The dash is less cluttered yet offers more information. Do you sense a theme here? Consider that the design phase of this truck took four years and the testing was the most intense ever. The result? A list of improvements a hockey rink long – that’s a fact. Now, how will they all work together? Well Ford’s claims will have to play out on roads, across Canada, in the coming years.

The truck is nimbler, has less wash in the corners and simply handles better. The cab is virtually silent and for comfort, the HVAC is split side-toside, front and rear.

City of light shines brightly on dream machines

by Zack Spencer

The Paris Auto Show is one of those must-visit events for those of us charged with reporting on the latest and greatest new vehicles. So many manufacturers now develop products for a world market so these early European shows often offer a glimpse of what’s coming next to our shores. Here are five machines that caught my eye. Lamborghini Asterion Let’s start with a dream machine. The Lamborghini Asterion concept car was certainly a showstopper. Sidestepping the current design approach of angular shapes with hard edges, this new Lambo has a more curvaceous look that almost mimics a front engine car. What is wedged in the middle of this exotic is a hybrid system that marries a naturally aspirated 5.2L V10 engine with three electric motors (Two in the

front producing all wheel drive and another in the transmission for full electric drive capability), producing a whopping 910hp with acceleration that will see this car run to 100 km in just three seconds. The Asterion is capable of running on just electric power for roughly 30 km, providing silent driving in a wickedly sexy machine. This is a just a concept at this point but with mounting pressure on car makers to reduce carbon output and the fact the Porsche brand (Another VW Group brand) already has the 918 hybrid, this looks like it could make it to market within the next few years. VW Golf Alltrack Ok, now back to earth. With the trend towards allwheel-drive (AWD) gaining more and more momentum it was only a matter of time before cars previously without AWD start to appear with this option. Take the popular VW Golf wagon, soon to be available in Europe with AWD and a slightly higher ground clearance. Called the Alltrack, this more rugged-looking and capable VW will cer-

In North America, we don’t buy many wagons but we certainly love when manufacturers add a slightly higher ride-height, lower body cladding plus AWD and call them a crossover vehicle. Sales jump. Not available in Canada but after chatting with VW Canada executives, they have put in a request to Germany to get this car for our AWD-loving climate.

Stay tuned. Toyota i-Road Imagine a pure electric, three-wheel, scooter-like vehicle, with a fixed roof, steering wheel which can drive up to 45km/h with 50km of electric range. The Toyota i-Road attracted big crowds when it was demonstrated at this year’s Paris Show. The small wheel at the rear of the i-Road pivots at low speed for amazing maneuverability, plus when driven at higher speeds the

entire vehicle tilts over like a motorcycle with the front wheels rotating independently of each other. It looks odd and must feel odd to drive but the upside is covered driving, without a helmet, and emissions free transportation. The i-Road is being tested in Japan and will be used in the French city of Grenoble as part of a vehicle-sharing program. This type of vehicle already exists in Europe

but the tilting and pivoting elements make it unique. This would not be popular on our wider roads in North America but the i-Road will fit right in on Europe’s busy streets. Fiat 500X The Chrysler Groups’ parent company Fiat is at it again, taking the best that its European brands have to offer and marrying them with American brands. The Fiat 500L has had a mild reception here in North America so now they have taken the same platform and produced the Jeep Renegade. To complete the circle, the same Renegade approach is being used with this Fiat 500X, basically, taking the same Jeep-like elements and making them into a Fiat. The 500X will be available with front wheel drive (FWD) or AWD and a variety of engine and transmission options in Europe. The engine choices have not been divulged for our market but expect to see the 170hp 1.4 turbo 4-cylinder and the 184hp 2.4L 4-cylinder engines here. The Fiat 500L has not been a hit for Fiat but, yet again, add a more rugged look and the sales will likely follow. Volvo XC90 Will the introduction of an all-new, full-size XC90 SUV be enough to save Volvo here in North America? Time will tell but the crowds at the Volvo stand in Paris were packed with people combing over every part of this attractive SUV. It has been over ten years since Volvo introduced the original XC90 and the years have not been good to this vehicle or the brand. Sales for the XC90 and Volvo in general have been pathetic in North America. The XC90 will be sold in Canada with AWD in the T6 or T8 engine variants. Both are turbocharged and supercharged and are matched to an 8-speed automatic. The T6 has 320hp and the T8 comes with an additional 80hp electric motor for improved power and efficiency. The three-row

Contrary to general perception, most classic cars aren’t fragile flowers. In fact, many are anvil-tough, particularly American cars of the 1950s and 1960s, built with real Pennsylvania steel and very little plastic. But even these rolling bank vaults can be seriously screwed up by these five things: Non-use: This one is really is counterintuitive. When classic cars come to mind for many, the image of the trailer queen or museum piece looms large; in fact, most people think that these are the best cared-for cars. In actuality, they often turn out to be the most problematic cars when they are finally driven. Non-use is actually abuse – seals dry out and start to leak; gas gets stale and turns to varnish; batteries corrode when not removed; and tires get flat spots. Cars that are used and maintained

on a regular basis, on the other hand, are often the happiest and most reliable old cars. Improper storage/ rodents: This goes along with the above. Failure to drain fuel or use a stabilizer, not using jack stands, and making certain that anti-freeze is up to snuff all contribute to storage-related deterioration. But perhaps the most destructive force has four teeth and a naked tail – rats and mice, the same rodents that wiped out half the population of Europe by carrying Bubonic plague, can really mess with your classic car. They chew upholstery and insulation to make nests (in which they pee, poop and reproduce, not necessarily in that order), and worst of all, they chew on wiring harnesses where it isn’t apparent until something smokes or catches fire from behind the dash of your 1965 Mustang. Road salt: Most everyone who has taken chemistry knows that the reaction between sodium chloride and steel yields iron oxide, more commonly known as rust. But few people truly realize how quickly the damage is done. Just one drive on a wet

salty road will give your classic an ugly coating of surface rust on anything on the underside that is not well protected, like suspension parts, exhaust and even the frame. A season or two that lets salty mud penetrate the nooks and crannies of your car will almost certainly cause visible rust to erupt. And don’t think you’re immune because your car is fiberglass, there’s plenty of steel to rot away under the pretty plastic panels of your 1972 Corvette Stingray. Conversely, getting caught in the rain every now and then isn’t death for your classic, as long as nothing like carpets or trunk mats get soaked and stay wet. Some of the cleanest and most rust-free old cars we’ve seen come from the damp Pacific Northwest, where it snows little and road salt isn’t used. Old tires: Most vintage cars don’t see 15,000 miles of use each year and, often, totally unsafe tires can look deceptively sound. In addition to tread wear, age, dry rot, flat spots and UV exposure can render tires unsafe. About six or seven years should be tops in terms of tire life, regardless of how the tires may look. A blowout or a thrown tread can not only threaten your life, it can severely damage your car severely as I found

out first hand when an otherwise fine-looking tire threw a tread and put a football-sized dent in the lower quarter panel of a formerly pristine 1977 Datsun 280Z. Bad driving habits: The list of things that you can do to shorten the life of the major systems of a classic – from engine, transmission to differential – is long and beyond the scope of this article. But perhaps the most destructive thing you can do to a vintage car is to not let it warm up properly. I’ve witnessed tons of people who should know better start up a cold car and immediately zing it to the redline with the first shift. It’s painful to watch and even more painful to realize the harm that’s being done to the engine. Always drive gently until the car has reached normal operating temperature (usually around the midpoint of the temperature gauge). Rob Sass is the vicepresident of content for Hagerty Insurance.

STARKEY LECK Leila Kathleen Leila (Lee) Kathleen Leck died peacefully on October 5, 2014 at Abbotsford Hospital. She was born March 31, 1921 in Brandon, Manitoba to Dr. H. O. and Margaret Galloway McDiarmid. Lee attended schools in Brandon before graduating from the University of Manitoba in 1942 with a Bachelor of Science Home Economics degree. She was then a student Dietitian at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. A short working career as a Dietitian in the Brandon General Hospital and the Hudson’s Bay in Vancouver followed. On September 13, 1947 Lee married Ronald Henry Leck of Vancouver. He was her beloved husband and best friend for over 65 years, until his death in 2012. She is survived by her four children, Noreen, Harris (Fran), Margaret, Chris (Shelley) and was Nana to 11 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Leila (to her immediate family) was predeceased by Ron and her siblings Bud, Nina, Jack and Mona and her much loved son-in-law Neil Van Duffelen. There are many nieces and nephews, and it was this extended family which brought great meaning to her life. Because of this love of family, Lee became a dedicated Genealogist and compiled three family histories. Volunteering was important to her, especially at the Victoria General Hospital in Winnipeg where she became President of the Guild. She loved the years spent in the Mission Community Archives and the friends made there. Ron and Lee lived in Mission for 32 years before moving to be with their daughter Margaret and grandson Jesse. A Celebration of Life and reception will be held at Woodlawn Mission Funeral Home on October 17, 2014 at 1:00 pm. No flowers please. Instead, Lee asks that you do a favour for someone and smile at everyone you meet. Pay it forward. Lee will be missed by her family and friends and will be remembered as a loving and compassionate woman. Special thanks to the wonderful workers from Fraser Valley Home Support whose care allowed Lee to remain at home. Thank you also to Dr. Danescu and the staff at the ARHCC for their wonderful care on numerous hospital admissions. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family at: www.woodlawnfh-mission.com Arrangements entrusted to Woodlawn Mission Funeral Home (604) 826-9548

McKECHNIE Eileen Mary Nov. 13, 1917 ~ Sept. 29, 2014

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our Mom. Eileen was predeceased by her husband Ken, in 2001, her daughter Jean in 1999, and her daughter-in-law Joanne in 2012. She leaves behind her sons Wes and Robert McKechnie, daughters Mary (Doug ) MacDonald and Doris (Randy) Mutch, grandchildren Jim (Jan), Janice (Paul), Jackee (Darrell), Julie (Davin), Peter (Janet), Bob (Crystal), Carla (Dean), great grandchildren Jacob, Trent, Aaron, Raven, Chayla, Kazuki, Kenta and Logan, her sister Margret and sister-in-law Hazel, also many nieces and nephews. Eileen was born in Weyburn SK and moved to BC at the young age of 3. She lived in the Fraser Valley until 1965 when the family moved to Caycuse. In 1977 Ken and Eileen moved back to the family home in Dewdney. Mom and Dad spent their time after retirement, enjoying family visits, traveling, gardening and playing endless hours of cards. In 2001 she moved to Lake Cowichan to be closer to family. She was there 10 years until her failing health forced a move to Chemainus. Mom was a beautiful lady inside and out. She was a very kind and gentle soul who loved to laugh. She dedicated her life to her family and has left us with wonderful memories. She will be missed dearly. “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves”. We would like to thank all the workers at the Chemainus Health Care Center for the wonderful care you gave our Mom in her final years. There will be no service at her request. The family will gather at a later date, to honor and celebrate our Mom’s life.

Bernice (nee Lewichew) Aug. 7, 1930 ~ Sept. 24, 2014

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, nana and great-nana. Bernice passed away peacefully with family at her side at Tabor Home on September 24, 2014. She is predeceased by her loving husband Bruce Starkey of almost 56 years and her sister Pauline. She will be lovingly remembered by her 3 children Colleen (Don), Heather (Paul), and Sydney (Janet), 9 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Prior to her long battle with Alzheimer’s, Bernice enjoyed travelling and camping. She was a spirited fashion diva who lit up the dance floor at social events with her many close friends. Bernice and her husband Bruce shared quiet moments together each day with their favorite past time… “Happy hour.” As Bernice was never considered a culinary expert, many wonderful family events were celebrated with KFC. The family of Bernice wish to thank the staff at Tabor Home for their compassionate care of “Mom” over the many years. At Mom’s request there will be no service.

She married her sweetheart Joe in 1949 and after the birth of their first born son, they boldly embarked on a journey to Canada where they first settled in Sylvan Lake, Alberta in 1950. Mom and Dad were proud to become Canadian citizens in 1957. British Columbia eventually became their home when they moved to Harrison Hot Springs in 1974. Marie married Dirk Zandberg in 1982 and together they resided in Abbotsford and Chilliwack. Mom was a playful, adventurous lady who loved to laugh and travel. A heartfelt thank you goes to the staff at Heritage Village residential care home who lovingly cared for Mom in the frailty of her last days.

Signs of Heart Attack and Stroke. Heart & Stroke Foundation

Most of us realize that diet and exercise play an important part in keeping us healthy. But did you know that a healthy mouth is also an important part of a healthy body? Poor oral health can affect a person’s quality of life. Oral pain, missing teeth or oral infections can influence the way a person speaks, eats and socializes. These oral health problems can reduce a person’s quality of life by affecting their physical, mental and social well-being. Oral disease, like any other disease, needs to be treated. A chronic infection, including one in the mouth, is a serious problem that should not be ignored. Yet bleeding or tender gums are often overlooked.

2. Check your mouth regularly • Look for signs of gum disease • Red, shiny, puffy, sore or sensitive gums • Bleeding when you brush or floss • Bad breath that won’t go away • Look for signs of oral cancer • Bleeding or open sores that won’t heal • White or red patches • Numbness or tingling • Small lumps and thickening on the sides or bottom of your tongue, the floor or roof of your mouth, the inside of your cheeks, or on your gums

FREE 7 DAY MEMBERSHIP

Research has shown there is an association between oral disease and other health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke, respiratory illness in older adults, as well as pre-term and low-birthweight babies. Although researchers are just beginning to understand this relationship, evidence shows that oral disease can aggravate other health problems and that keeping a healthy mouth is an important part of leading a healthy life.

Local Clinic Unveils New Laser Therapy Centre

nnouncing the immediate offering of MLS Laser Therapy in the Abbotsford area. The addition of this exciting and effective technology is part of Cascadia Chiropractic Centre’s continued investment in advanced technologies and progressive procedures in the chiropractic/podiatric/pain management field. Laser therapy has been used effectively for many years, but advances in technology have produced “the next generation of laser therapy” with the new MLS (Multi-wave Locked System) Laser Therapy which uses specific wavelengths of light to treat painful and debilitating conditions. With laser therapy Dr. Simpson Leung can offer relief to those suffering with both chronic and acute ailments such as back and joint pain, tendinitis, arthritis, disc disease and sprains and strains without the use of painful injections or potentially habit forming drugs. “We are very excited to be able to offer this new and dramatic treatment option to patients,” Dr. Leung said. Laser therapy is painless, with treatments usually lasting several minutes, and most patients see

COMMONLY TREATED CONDITIONS: • Arthritis (knees, hips, hands etc.) • Bursitis • Sciatica • Chronic and acute pain • Neck, back and shoulder pain • Muscle sprains/strains • Inflammation, swelling and edema • Plantar Fasciitis (heel/arch pain) • Tendinitis and ligament injuries • Post-surgical swelling • Degenerative joint and disc disease • Trigger points and sore muscles

positive results in just 1-3 treatments. “When a physical condition or injury affects mobility or quality of life, there is one goal: a rapid return to every day activities. We now have the most advanced equipment on the market to deliver these results; results that include a very rapid reduction in pain, strong anti-inflammatory effect, and immediate improvement of local blood circulation,” states Dr. Leung. “More and more, our patients are looking for effective treatment options that are less invasive, have no side effects, provide rapid results and speed the healing process. Laser therapy provides us with an opportunity to meet the needs of our patients, and offer the highest levels of care possible.” Dr. Leung summarizes, “We pride ourselves on staying on the leading edge of technology, and educating our patients on the various levels of care available. Laser therapy is the future of the chiropractic/podiatric/ pain management industry, and we feel our patients deserve to have that option when choosing the best care for themselves.” For additional information about laser therapy, contact the staff at 604-853-4441.

10 BENEFITS OF MLS LASER THERAPY: • Drug-free, rapid relief of pain • Strong anti-inflammatory effect • Immediate improvement of local blood circulation • Rapid resolution of swollen areas • Accelerated tissue repair and cell growth • Rapid repair of superficial injuries such as wounds and ulcers • Reduces scar tissue formation • No known side effects • Non-surgical, painless and non-invasive

EXERCISE IS MEDICINE TIP: RESEARCH PROVES THAT EXERCISE HAS A ROLE IN THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF MORE THAN 40 CHRONIC DISEASES INCLUDING DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, OBESITY AND HYPERTENSION.

EXERCISING WITH HYPERTENSION Information from excersiceismedicine.org

Hypertension, which is defined as a chronically elevated blood pressure greater than 140/90 mmHg, affects nearly 50 million Americans. If left untreated, hypertension can dramatically increase your risk for heart attacks, strokes and peripheral arterial disease. Exercise not only improves the workings of the cardiovascular system, but can lower blood pressure as well. The key to maximizing the benefits of exercise is to follow a welldesigned program that you can stick to over the long-term.

Getting Started

session. Do not exercise if your resting systolic blood pressure is greater than 200 mmHg or your diastolic blood pressure is greater than 115 mmHg. • Avoid holding your breath during weight training because this can cause large fluctuations in blood pressure and increase the potential of passing out or developing abnormal heart rhythms. • If your fitness level is low, start with shorter sessions (10 to 15 minutes) and gradually add five minutes to your workouts every two to four weeks. Ideally, you should build up to 30 minutes five days per week.

Maximize the Benefits, Reduce the Risk Your exercise program should be designed to maximize the benefits with the fewest risks of aggravating your health or physical condition. Consider contacting a certified health and fitness professional* who can work with you and your health care provider to establish realistic goals and design a safe and effective program that addresses your specific needs. *If your health care provider has not cleared you for independent physical activity and would like you to be monitored in a hospital setting or a medical fitness facility, you should exercise only under the supervision of a certified professional.

• Talk with your health care provider before starting an exercise program and ask about any changes to your medications or special concerns they have about you doing exercise. • Take all medications as recommended by your physician.

RESOURCES Exercise is Medicine: This global initiative’s mission is to make sure

• Choose low- to moderate-intensity activities that you enjoy, such as walking, cycling or group fitness classes. Exercising at a lower intensity appears to reduce blood pressure as much as—if not more than—exercising at a higher intensity.

• Once your cardiovascular fitness begins to improve, consider adding low resistance, high-repetition strength training, such as circuit training. • Start slowly and gradually progress the intensity and duration of your workouts. • Take frequent breaks during activity if needed.

Exercise Cautions

• Always cool down gradually. Antihypertensives, such as alpha blockers, calcium channel blockers, and vasodilators, may reduce blood pressure too much if exercise is ended abruptly. • If possible, measure your blood pressure prior to your exercise

Mayor’s Message

HELPING STUDENTS & FAMILIES CHOOSE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE Students are more likely to succeed if they are healthy and active. Here are some tips for parents to encourage healthy eating and an active lifestyle for their children: • Encourage your children to eat breakfast every day, as it provides fuel for the brain to learn and helps them maintain a healthy weight. • Keep nutritious foods, like cutup vegetables and fruit, cheese sticks, yogurt and butter-free

popcorn on hand to make healthy snacking easy. • Encourage your children to choose milk or water at meals instead of sugary drinks or energy drinks. • Get children active through sports, or go for family walks or bike rides. • Develop good hand-washing habits, as frequent hand-washing reduces the spread of cold and flu viruses especially in the fall and winter.

Here in Abbotsford we are fortunate to have all the ingredients for achieving a healthy lifestyle, including climate, trails, facilities and programs right at our doorstep. By implementing a plan of action for yourself and your family to live by the healthy guidelines of good nutrition, daily physical activity and not smoking, you can start making an impact on your health today. Why not challenge your family to do the same by meeting the daily 5-2-1-0 challenge? • Enjoy 5 or more vegetables and fruits every day. • Reduce your screen time on the TV and computer to less than 2 hours per day of your leisure time.

• Engage in moderate physical activity for at least 1 hour per day. • Choose to eat healthy and eliminate sugar sweetened drinks for your children. • Don’t smoke. Healthy living is important for all members of our community. The City of Abbotsford is dedicated to helping residents make healthy lifestyle choices. By supporting local programs like Healthy Abbotsford and SCOPE the City helps to encourage residents in incorporating physical activity into their daily routines and their kids’ routines, making local food choices and living tobacco-free. Take charge of your health and eat well, be active and live tobacco-free. Visit healthyabbotsford.ca. Come on Abbotsford, let’s make it healthy!

EAT HEALTHY FAMILY MEALTIME DO FAMILY MEALS REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE? Eliza Cook and Rachel Dunifon – Cornell University While research on family meals is still evolving, and scholars face challenges in identifying the “true” effects of family meals, evidence to date suggests that family meals do provide benefits for children and youth. Listed below are a few recommendations of ways to improve family mealtime:

Set a goal to have regular family meals at least three times per week, if possible. Most

research notes some type of improvement in child outcomes when a family participated in at least three family meals together each week. Of course this is not possible for all families. If not, try to substitute family dinners with shared breakfasts, evening snacks or any similar activity that will allow your family to gather more regularly. Family dinners may be part and parcel of a broader package of practices, routines, and rituals that reflect parenting beliefs and priorities. Interventions aimed at increasing the frequency of family meals may be successful only if they can change the family habits that tend to go along with eating as a family.

Remember the benefits of consistent family mealtimes. The routine of family meals can

generate feelings of closeness and comfort. Even when mealtimes feel hectic or disorganized, take comfort in the fact that the simple act of regular mealtimes may be providing your child with stability.

• Talk about two things you feel thankful or grateful for today.

3. Don’t forget, quality of family meals is just as important as quantity. Mealtimes have been noted as one of the most common times children communicate with parents; so if possible,

• If you woke up tomorrow and could do one thing that you can’t do right now, what would it be?

guard your mealtimes from outside distractions. Turn off the TV and cell phones and ask questions to your children about their day, school, friends, goals, etc. Researchers note that family meals may provide a unique context for parents to connect with and share important information with their children.

Ages 8-13 • Create a brand new holiday along with new traditions for the world. Describe the what, when, why and how. • Tell me something about yourself that you think I might not know.

What if no one talks? Let’s say you have managed to get the whole family around the table at the same time. What do you do if there is nothing but silence? Here are some great conversation starter ideas from

• If a friend asks you to keep a secret that you don’t feel comfortable keeping, what would you do? • What 3 words would you use to describe our family?

Get The Most Out Of Life With Dentures Youâ€™ve just been told you need dentures and, like most people in your position, youâ€™re unsure and probably nervous about what to expect. Change is never easy, especially when it involves something as personal as your mouth. If youâ€™re like most people 40 and older, you place a lot of importance on your smile because you believe it is the first thing that people notice about you. Your fears are not uncommon and many of the patients we see who need dentures express the same concerns. Many people older than 40 are missing multiple teeth and have a full or partial denture, which means someone you know may be going through the same transition as you and may not even be aware of it. Thatâ€™s because dentures arenâ€™t as noticeable as you may think. Dentures can be made to closely resemble the look of your natural teeth so there is little change in appearance. By replacing missing teeth dentures can help you speak better, improve the chewing of most foods, and restore a natural-looking smile. After a period of adjustment, proper fitting dentures will be comfortable and they will boost your self-esteem. When you first start wearing dentures, you may find pronouncing certain words may require practice, but reading out loud and repeating troublesome words helps. This practice will train the tongue and lips to relax and these difficulties will correct themselves in a short time. Your new dentures may feel awkward for 6-8 weeks until you get used to them. The dentures may also feel loose while the muscles of your cheek and tongue learn to keep them in place. This feeling will fade as your mouth becomes accustomed to your new dentures. However, during this time, you may want to consider using a small amount of denture adhesive to help keep your dentures in place. After 10 to 12 months your healing should be complete and your dentures will need relining for a better fit. Hundreds of thousands of people wear dentures with ease and, in time, you too will feel comfortable, secure and successful in wearing your dentures.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I take care of my dentures?

Why is there such a wide range in the cost of a denture?

Your dentures are an investment and require care and attention. Just like natural teeth, dentures always need to be cleaned morning and night in order to remove food particles and plaque. This is best done with a mild denture cleanser. Your denturist will help maintain your denture(s) and oral tissues so they stay at their optimum performance. The fit and function of your dentures and oral tissues are an integral part of your well-being. An annual examination by your denturist will ensure peace of mind.

Cost=Quality. A quality, well-fitting, and natural looking denture takes time to make and costs more.

How long will my dentures last? There is not a removable prosthesis made for the mouth that is permanent. The mouth is constantly changing so on average, a partial or a denture may be expected to last about 5 years.

Why are my dentures becoming loose? If your dentures are over 5 years old and if they have not been relined every 2 years you probably will have some problems with the fit of your dentures. Your gum tissue and jaw bone shrink with time. This causes the denture to become loose resulting in a poor fit. Poor fitting dentures can lead to bite problems, speech impediments and tissue irritations. Leaving this condition unchecked can lead to complicated situations in the future. A visit to your denturist for an oral health examination will determine the cause of your ill-fitting dentures.

Should I take my dentures out at night? If you choose to keep your dentures in overnight, always clean them thoroughly before you go to bed - just as you would your natural teeth, but use a denture cleanser rather than toothpaste, as toothpaste can scratch dentures. Leaving your dentures out at night gives your mouth and gums an opportunity to recover from the effort of supporting your dentures during the day. When dentures are left out of the mouth, they should be placed in a container filled with water to prevent drying and possible dimensional changes of the denture base material. It is also important to maintain good oral hygiene by cleaning gums, cheeks and tongue with a soft toothbrush where bacteria also resides.

How long will the implants for my (dentures over implants) last? Reports show many implants lasting 20 years or a life time with proper care and regular yearly check-ups at your dental professional. These are the factors which could reduce the life expectancy of your implants:

â€˘ your general health â€˘ oral hygiene â€˘ smoking â€˘ grinding your teeth Some parts of the implants may need replacing with time because of wear or deterioration. The dentures themselves should be replaced every 5 years and relined every 2 years. Denturists are denture specialists; they specialize in the manufacturing of denture prosthetics. Denturists have a professional designation of Registered Denturist (RD). You do not need a referral from another health professional to consult with a Denturist. A Denturist can refer you to other health care professionals. Denturists are proficient and time effective in the delivery of denture treatments. Most Denturists fabricate your prosthetics on premises, ensuring quality control and care. Denturist Association of British Columbia

WALKING HEALTH TIP: WALKING IS MAN’S BEST MEDICINE – HIPPOCRATES

BEST TREATMENT FOR BETTER HEALTH This information has been taken from the YouTube video, 23.5 Hours, by Doctor Mike Evans. I have a big interest in preventative medicine, which can mean a lot of things from cancer screening to eating more fiber to having a good social network, weighing less, drinking less, smoking less, controlling your blood pressure and cholesterol and so forth. All of these things are incredibly important and I wouldn’t want to minimize your efforts in any one category but I want to know what comes first? What has the biggest impact, what has the biggest return on investment, what makes the biggest difference to your health? So I did my research and I found an answer, at least for me, and it’s tricky because all of these things are sort of overlapping. But I picked out this intervention because of its breadth, it worked for so many different health problems and that’s what I found so cool about it. To walk you through a quick list, here are some of the benefits of this intervention: • Patients with knee arthritis who received one hour of treatment three times per week reduced their rates of pain and disability by 47%. • Older patients reduced progression to dementia and Alzheimer’s by 50%. • Patients at high risk for diabetes, coupled with other lifestyle interventions, has a reduction of progression to diabetes by 58%. • Post-menopausal women who had four hours per week of the treatment had a 41% reduction in the risk of hip fracture.

• It reduced anxiety by 48%, depression by 30% (47% reduction with a higher dose). • It is the number one treatment of fatigue and has been shown over and over again to improve quality of life.

So the question is, what’s the medicine? The medicine is exercise. Mostly walking. Think about your typical day which is 24 hours. The best thing you can do for your health is to spend 30 minutes a day being active. Let’s take a quick walk through some of the research. Dr. Steven Blair, who is a professor at the Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina, followed over 50,000 men and women, over time. He found that low fitness levels were the strongest predictor of death. His research has shown that obesity and no exercise is a very bad combination. If a person was obese and was active, the physical activity took care of most of the negative consequences of obesity. You can be overweight and be healthy. If exercise is the medicine, what is the dose? How long? How often? How intense? Essentially more activity is better, but the rate of return starts to decline after 20-30 minutes a day. If you are active less than 150 minutes per week, that is a concern. We see a big difference when somebody goes from doing nothing to doing something. Your 30 minutes of activity

can be broken up into three 10 minute sessions of activity. You need to look at your style, habits and personal cues. If you are only going to be active if it’s pre-booked with friends, then organize your life so you book that time. A dog is a great walking coach, 67% of dog walkers achieve the 150 minutes of activity each week just with the dog walking. And finally of course, your commute. Getting of the bus a stop early, take the stairs etc. The research around walking to work shows that for every increase of 10 minutes you take to walk to work, there is a 12% reduction in the likelihood of you developing high blood pressure.

Sitting Disease We know that being sedentary is bad for your health. Compared to people that watch no TV, people who spend an average of six hours per day watching TV can expect to live five years less. The average American adult watches five hours of TV or screens per day. We never think of the TV as something that is bad for our health, but clearly it’s as powerful as many other risk factors for chronic disease.

The Question I’m going to finish by asking you a question, and this may have some personal challenges for you. You might be very busy with work, or with your kids, or with both. You may be in pain or have other priorities but can you limit your sitting and sleeping to just 23.5 hours a day?

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY HOME EXERCISE PROGRAM Johann Windt, CSCS, BHK, NSCA-CPT, Pn-1. Do you find it hard to workout because of travel, no time, lack of money or fear of the gym? Follow the simple, four exercise routine below and you will work all the major muscle groups in your body. You can do these exercises anywhere, for free, and in less than 20 minutes.

• Keep your back straight (think about sticking your chest out), while allowing your torso to come forward naturally.

It’s important to warm your body up for 5-10 minutes first. You can go up and down the stairs in your house, march with high knees on the spot, ride a bike, or go for a brisk walk. Do the exercises in the order listed, start with doing 15-20 repetitions of each (except the plank – do this once and hold it for 5-60 seconds). Finish off your workout with some gentle static stretches. As you grow stronger and are looking for more of a challenge, progress to completing a second round of all the exercises, and then a third round. Lastly, take a day of rest in-between your workouts so your muscles have a chance to recover.

Push-ups:

• Continue to lower into the squat until (although not lower than) your thighs are parallel to the floor, then push your heels into the ground to return to the starting position.

Seated row with tubing

Body Weight Squat: • Stand tall with feet about shoulder width apart, toes pointed slightly out, and hands straight forward for balance.

Push-ups

• Sit hips back and between your heels in a controlled manner as though you were about to sit on a chair. • Keep your knees right above your toes and avoid letting them fall in towards each other.

Plank: • Start the exercise on your forearms with your knees on the ground (you can come onto your toes if you would like more of a challenge) • Get into the same position as the plank, but with your body supported by your hands, not forearms, with the hands about 1 ½ times your shoulder width.

• Squeeze your butt muscles to protect your lower back.

• Keep the whole body tight (contract your butt muscles and brace your core). • Lower yourself in a controlled manner, with your elbows coming out to the side slightly, leading with your chest, not your head (keep your chin tucked) or your hips (keep body stable). Lower yourself until your upper arms are parallel to the floor. • Push the ground away from you as you press back up to the starting position. • To make push-ups easier, raise your hands to a bench or railing, or perform them from your knees instead of your toes.

Seated Row with Tubing: • Sit up tall with back in a neutral position; chest open as though you were popping buttons off of a shirt. • With tubing around you feet or stable object, pull the handles backward squeezing your shoulder blades together, keeping your elbows close to your sides.

Body Weight Squat

• Slowly straighten the arms back to the starting position.

Plank

• Contract your “core” muscles by bracing (pretend that someone is about to tickle you – feel the muscles in your abdominal area tighten up) • Keep your elbows close to your sides (think about crushing something in your armpit). • Have your eyes looking down to the ground while pulling your chin back towards your throat (think about giving yourself a double chin).
