‘Something you don’t expect ... in Canada’ MP Ed Fast was in Parliament when shots rang out Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
MACKLEMORE MOMENT
Gunfire rang out on Parliament Hill Wednesday morning just outside a room where Conservative MPs, including Abbotsford’s Ed Fast, were holding a caucus meeting. The attack began with the shooting of a Canadian soldier stationed at the nearby National War Memorial just before 10 a.m. Eastern Time. The soldier, Nathan Cirillo, later died from his wounds. Shortly after, gunfire erupted in Parliament Hill’s Centre Block building. Dozens of gunshots rang out in a large hallway adjacent to the Reading Room, where Prime Minister Stephen Harper was speaking to Conservative MPs, including Fast. Fast and his fellow members of Parliament were uninjured in the incident, which ended when the gunman, later identified as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, was shot and killed by Parliament’s sergeant-at-arms, Kevin Vickers. ZehafBibeau had a criminal record that included a conviction for uttering threats in Vancouver in 2011. Even after the suspect was shot, members of Parliament remained locked down in their caucus room for hours as police officers cleared the building to ensure another possible shooter was not at large. A photo from Conservative MP Nina Grewal posted to Twitter showed chairs and other furniture piled several feet high blocking the doors to the room. Fast was still in lockdown when he spoke to The News. “It’s something that you don’t expect to happen in Canada,” he said. Continued on A7

Don’t have space in your backyard composter for your JackO-Lantern? You can still keep pumpkins out of the land¿ll by placing them in your curbside compostable waste container along with your food and yard waste. When setting your pumpkin in your compostable waste container, remember the following: • remove all candles; • remove any decorations, such as any plastics or metal; and • place in your re-usable compostable waste container, not into a Kraft paper bag. Pumpkins can also be taken to the Net Zero Waste Abbotsford Composting Facility and dropped off with a $1 donation to the food bank. Net Zero Waste is located at 5050 Gladwin Road.

Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
Homelessness, transit and the environment were among topics discussed during an all-candidates meeting Tuesday evening, which drew about 300 people to Matsqui Centennial Auditorium to hear the opinions of 29 council hopefuls. The event was organized by local non-profits, including Abbotsford Community Services (ACS), the United Way of the Fraser Valley, the Abbotsford Community Foundation, the Abbotsford Arts Council, the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley, MSA Museum Society, The Reach and the Fraser Valley Conservancy. Some candidates were asked about the city’s decision to end its waste management agreement with Metro Vancouver and what Abbotsford should do with its garbage. Lyle Caldwell said he thinks Metro’s plan to build a new garbage incinerator is “pretty much dead” after the province rejected Metro’s proposed bylaw 280, which opponents said was used to justify the incinerator. He said people need to be educated about composting and encourage higher diversion, while the rest of waste goes to transfer stations. Vince Dimanno said with a new waste removal contract, the city needs to think about its neighbours. “We also don’t want to be exporting our garbage to the United States or to the Interior, so comprehen-
sive recycling programs are great, but we also need to look at who we are contracting our garbage removal to and where that garbage is going.” Candidates were asked how to assist with bus service issues and reducing pollution due to car use. Hank Roos said that buses are only going to be used if the city develops in a way that buses are convenient. “You can’t just put more buses on the road, you have to plan so that people can actually do without their automobile.”
Patricia Ross said that what is also needed is lesspolluting buses, such as hybrids or those that use liquified natural gas. Ken Wushcke said Abbotsford is not planning well for transit, maintaining that development is taking place ahead of transit, and cited the lack of direct bus service from some areas to destinations like Highstreet, where driving takes a fraction of the time. “We have to plan our development in conjunction with development, not after the fact.” When asked about supporting arts and culture, Ward Draper said there is a lack of venues for youth, for music in particular, and
“they need a space to perform and to bring us the gifts they have.” Candidates were asked about the high cost of child care and how they would assist working families with the issue. Rick Barkwell cited the importance of creating growth in the technology sector in the city, as employment in that sector can help with home-based work hours. Some candidates were asked about how to address homelessness in Abbotsford. Daljit Sidhu said people on the streets need assistance and the city needs affordable homes. He added that the city needs a temporary shelter now, as currently sitting outside in the rain is not a good option for the homeless. Doug Rempel said he has worked with Habitat for Humanity for 12 years and has partnered with the city in the past to provide affordable housing. He said Habitat is also assisting by providing supplies to the Dignity Village project – a proposal to build cabins to house the homeless on a plot of land on Valley Road. “I would like to pressure the provincial and federal governments for funding, but I also want to engage with the organizations that do the job well already.” Ross Siemens said it is a complex issue and the city needs to start with an Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team to meet with those on the streets and assess their needs. He said the city needs

a housing-first project, adding that the ACS housing proposal, which was rejected by council in February, should have already ground broken. He added that the Dignity Village proposal has a lot of merit. After answering questions prepared by the organizers, the floor was opened for audience questions. Tina Stewart was the focus of many queries, regarding her opposition to the ACS housing proposal,
her thoughts on how to address homelessness and her plans to hold her position as the executive director of the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association (ADBA) if elected to council. Stewart said she believes all homeless people deserve an equal opportunity to get off the streets. She explained that she has family members who are addicts and said she strongly believes we need detox in Abbotsford. Stewart said that she opposed the ACS proposal,

Signs a possible factor in collision Teen pedestrian still in critical condition Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
An email was sent to municipal election candidates this week, saying that the number of large campaign signs posted near Old Yale and Maclure roads might have been a factor in a serious pedestrian collision on Tuesday. The email from city clerk Bill Flitton was sent Tuesday and was done so at the request of the Abbotsford Police Department (APD), said Const. Paul Walker. The email asked that candidates remove large election signs from the location and use only “the small plastic signs on the small metal frames.” They were requested to do so by noon Wednesday. The email stated that any large signs remaining at Old Yale and Maclure after that time would be removed by city staff. An 18-year-old boy remains in critical condition after being struck while he was using the crosswalk in that area on
KEVIN MACDONALD Abbotsford News
An email from the Abbotsford city clerk says large election signs might have been a factor in a pedestrian collision Tuesday at about 7:15 a.m. A small vehicle was travelling east on Maclure Road and the driver struck the teen as she was turning right into the yield lane on Old Yale Road. An air ambulance landed in the nearby baseball diamond at Ellwood Park, and the teen was transported to a Vancouver-
area hospital. The female driver remained on scene and co-operated with police, Walker said. He said APD collision reconstructionists look at several factors when considering the cause of a crash, including lighting, road conditions and sight-line obstructions.
In this case, it was determined that large election signs might have been a factor, although it is not definitive. “Some of the larger signs that were erected on the median portion were a possible sightline obstruction for the pedestrian being able to see drivers and a possible distraction for the drivers,” Walker said. Walker said officers have been told that as they are travelling around the city, to make note of any other areas of concern and those areas will be addressed. Mayor Bruce Banman said candidates are encouraged to ensure that their signs meet city bylaws, and city staff will be checking to verify the guidelines are followed. A portion of the city’s bylaw that addresses political signs states that “signs on city property shall not obstruct or otherwise interfere with sight lines or movement of motor vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists or any other highway traffic …”
City reminder: fireworks are still illegal Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service is reminding residents that the use of fireworks and firecrackers is still illegal in Abbotsford. Fireworks have been advertised for sale in communities bordering the city, but the city says their use in Abbotsford is against bylaws and will be strictly enforced.
The fireworks bylaw prohibits the sale, possession and discharge of fireworks within the city’s borders. This bylaw was introduced in 2005 to reduce the number of injuries and fires caused by their use. The bylaw is enforced by fire rescue service members as well as by Abbotsford Police
and bylaw enforcement officers. Residents caught with fireworks could be subject to fines ranging from $200 to $1,000. Fires caused by illegal use of fireworks have been reduced since the bylaw was introduced, but they are still a major concern. Only licensed and trained pyrotechnicians
can apply for a permit to hold a fireworks show. This year, several permits for Diwali and Halloween have been issued and local citizens who wish to watch fireworks are encouraged to attend. For more information, visit abbotsford.ca/fire or call Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service at 604-853-3566.
Fast cautions against rushing to conclusions From A1
While other MPs have told media outlets that they heard dozens of shots ring out, Fast declined to say anything about what he saw, or about what occurred in the room “because the matter is under investigation.” Canadian authorities had raised their internal threat level earlier in the week following an attack in Quebec Monday in which a “radicalized” man used a car to run down two soldiers, one fatally. At Abbotsford International Airport, operations director Parm Sidhu said staff have heightened their level of awareness, but travellers won’t see any more security personnel. “Security and safety is our job every day,” he said. “We’re just being extra alert.” Sidhu said the airport has sent out an email to partners asking them to report any suspicious activity.

Travellers should also expect longer wait times to cross the border, according to the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA). “At this time, CBSA continues to take measures to increase vigilance and maximize the CBSA’s capacity to conduct risk assessments of people and goods before or upon arrival in Canada,” a CBSA spokesperson said in a written statement. Const. Paul Walker said the Abbotsford Police Department’s approach hasn’t changed substantially. “In light of what happened in Ottawa and back east, our organization and officers are that much more aware of what’s going on.” While there are few high-profile targets locally, Walker says officers pay particular attention to the offices of politicians. In Victoria, the B.C. Legislature restricted visitor access and proceeded with its
afternoon sitting, with extra security. Legislature clerk Craig James told reporters the provincial government had been informed by officials in Ottawa that “there may be a problem.” James did not release specifics, however. Fast cautioned against rushing to conclusions, with much still unknown about the shooter. “I expect it will lead to an investigation of what took place here, how we can improve security. What I don’t want to do is prejudge where this can lead. I think there will be a lot of reflecting going on about what steps we take in terms of providing enhanced security.” Personally, he said, “I just have an even greater resolve to do my part to provide leadership to our country. I think the message that must go out is that we will not be intimidated and we are resolved to carry on leading our lives as Canadians in peace and security.”

Homeless camp
OF THE WEEK In the wake of the Ottawa terrorist attack, do you feel less safe in this community?
I am all for helping the homeless, but when they choose to have zero respect and have this mess it disgusts me. People have come to help clean it up and then it looks a bit better and then they just make it look worse than ever. Cheryl Harris

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Are you planning to vote in the upcoming municipal election on Nov. 15?
This site is disgusting and an eyesore. Its occupants are a danger to themselves as well as passing motorists they run out on to road and can be seen openly injecting drugs and smoking crack. Clear them out immediately before someone dies. Gary Pihowich

On Point Somehow, for so many, Canada seemed beyond the reach, or even interest, of Islamic extremist terrorists. We sat secure and perhaps just a little smug behind our porous borders, and offered sympathy and, in some cases, self-righteous judgment, as our U.S. neighbours writhed in shock and grief after a group of terrorists flew jet airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing thousands. We watched television reports of subway bombings in Britain and terrorist acts in France. We sent our soldiers to Afghanistan, where they fought alongside Americans to stem the fundamentalist Taliban tide. With detachment, we followed the civil war in Syria, and with varying degrees of understanding or disinterest, watched it birth an entity that matched and eclipsed the brutal violence of al-Qaeda, responsible for the 9/11 attack. Also driven by extremely
twisted interpretations of their religion, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, poses the intensely dangerous threat of destabilizing the entre Middle East, and exporting its extremist visions around the globe. The Harper government recently decided – and rightly so – to send Canadian F-18 combat aircraft to join the coalition currently bombing ISIS in Iraq and Syria in a long-term attempt to blunt their advances and agendas. Through it all, most Canadians went about their daily business, some unaware, others simply unconcerned. This is Canada after all, home of the wonderfully free and mildly naive. And then on Monday, a young man, apparently inspired by the online urgings of an Islamic fundamentalist recruiter, “martyred” himself by driving his car at two Canadian soldiers on a street in Quebec, killing one of them. The assailant was later slain by police. Two days later, the shock waves went to the core of the country from coast to coast, as a gunman fatally shot a soldier stand-
ing sentry at the National War Memorial near Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The assailant then went into the Parliament buildings, where multiple shots were fired, and he was eventually gunned down by the sergeantat-arms. Early indications are that he too was a subject of extremist Islamic indoctrination. He chose, or perhaps was instructed, to strike at one of the most prominent symbols of Canadian identity. We can consider Canada to be on the list of nations of non-believers in the twisted minds of those who mangle their faith in justification of atrocious acts of violence and attempted dominance. How terribly ironic that the soldiers who died in these incidents joined the forces to protect the very freedoms that are being abused by terrorists who live in this country, believe as they wish, and teach their evil in gatherings and via the Internet and social media. That’s the truly unsettling factor in this. These individuals did not arrive in this country mere days or even months ago, foreign
How many more are out there? What do they intend to do?
imported killers bent on violence. They grew up in our cities and towns. They may have received their indoctrination in the country, or from online sources from anywhere in the world. Regardless, Canada has homegrown terrorists. How many more are out there? What do they intend to do? It sounds cold, but compared to 9/11, this week’s incidents are small. The perpetrator(s) could easily have sent a hail of bullets into a bus full of school children or a shopping mall crowded with shoppers. They could have poisoned a community’s water supply or sent an explosives-laden truck into the midst of a Remembrance Day ceremony. Or maybe something like that is yet to come. It would be highly unrealistic to believe this is over. It would be wildly naive to think the authorities can detect and prevent all other further attacks. Canadian laws don’t permit law enforcers to arrest and detain for an indeterminate time anyone who merely talks about religious extremism, or even openly supports it. This is, after all, a free country. Now the acutely difficult challenge is to preserve it, from within.

Don’t just move the problem
If we truly want the homeless to take down their tents and get off the streets, then we need to fix what is wrong rather than just move them. Would it not be wiser to treat each person as an individual and provide for their individual needs rather than sending them to a “village” like the one proposed on Valley Road where existing problems will simply breed further problems? Some of these people have mental health issues. Offer them the help they need so they can live their lives with dignity and not in what will quickly become a slum beside the dump. Some of them have drug addictions. Providing them a place to do those drugs in peace will not help them have a dignified life. A statement made about “what people do in the privacy of their own dwelling…” is simply ridiculous. It is against the law, it is dangerous for them and others around them, and it costs the taxpayers a huge amount of money when ambulances, police, hospitals, the legal system,

and social services have to deal with the resulting overdoses or acts of violence. Help the individuals who are willing to take the help offered to make them well. Help them find a place to live in dignity…not in a commune with others who choose to continue these illegal activities. We’ve all be very careful to use the term “homeless” but in a recent letter to the editor the term “vagrant” was used and correctly so. The legal definition of “vagrancy” is: A criminal offence of being intentionally unemployed and thereby neglecting to maintain themselves or their family. Many of the people we are talking about are vagrants. They choose to live by begging, stealing, or prostituting themselves, all illegal activities not to mention the drug and alcohol problems that exist. We need to clamp down and enforce the laws in these cases. We cannot tolerate this kind of activity in our city any longer. C. Major

We have now bought 2 new Fiats from here and can only highly recommend them, for the very professional approach and determination to get us the vehicle we wanted. This dealership may look small from the outside, but believe me, they have a huge desire and commitment to ensure complete customer satisfaction, in all aspects. Kim was very understanding to our needs and her creativeness was instrumental in obtaining the Fiat we had our eye on.

She made the comments after learning that Blue is running for council in the City of Abbotsford, where she resides. “To support her taking time away from her position currently, I don’t see how that would be a benefit to Maple Ridge.” Bell said council knew nothing about Blue’s decision. “It was not discussed with us, whatsoever,” Bell added. “I just really feel the public needs to know. They’re the ones who are paying the bills. They’re paying her salary and benefits.” Bell hopes Blue resigns from her Maple Ridge position, if elected in Abbotsford.

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin doesn’t see a conflict if Blue is elected. “People may perceive it to be one. She’s done a great job promoting the North Fraser, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and Mission. All three of us have benefited from her efforts,” he added. “I don’t doubt Sandy’s ability to do the work. We get many hours of effort far beyond what she’s compensated for.” Daykin said people have a right to a life outside their normal job, to represent their citizens. Daykin won’t ask Blue to resign, and said anyone looking for economic advice in Abbotsford likely wouldn’t even talk to city councillors.

Local teen interviews hip-hop star Macklemore
Abbotsford News Friday, October 24, 2014
Part of We Day event in Vancouver Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
An Abbotsford teen who is a fan of American hip-hop artist Macklemore was thrilled when she was selected to interview him during the We Day youth empowerment event in Vancouver on Wednesday. Anna Holota, a Grade 12 student at Yale secondary, found out on Monday that she had been chosen for the opportunity, and the following day attended a rehearsal at Rogers Arena, where she met Macklemore for the first time. “He’s so genuine … He feels so fulfilled by what he does,” she said. The actual on-camera interview took place Wednesday as part of a We Day production to be televised on MTV and CTV in November. Holota’s questions to Macklemore were scripted and addressed topics such as the initiatives the singer is involved in for youth around North America and how they can look beyond themselves to help others. Holota, a leadership student, said she has admired Macklemore for his beliefs in providing service to others, and it was an exciting opportunity to speak with him in person. “It was amazing, especially with all my fellow students around me,” she said. We Day drew together 20,000 students from more than 1,000 schools with the goal of inspiring them to change the world.
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Anna Holota’s interview with Macklemore will be televised on MTV and CTV in November. In addition to Macklemore and his performing partner Ryan Lewis, celebrities attending the event included Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Orlando Bloom and Nick Jonas. We Day is an initiative of the Free the Children organization, and similar events have been taking place across the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. Doug Primrose, a teacher in the Yale secondary leadership program, said the school applied for tickets to the event and was accepted based on its global and local initiatives. This includes its support of Free the Children through an annual overnight event at the school which has raised almost $60,000 in the last three years. Locally, the school
has supported programs such as the Abbotsford Food Bank, Matthew’s House and Cyrus Centre. Twenty leadership students and two teachers from Yale attended We Day on Wednesday. Holota was selected for the Macklemore interview after organizers contacted the school and asked for recommendations. “She’s always very prepared for those kinds of things,” said leadership teacher Soraya Rajabally. This was Yale’s fourth year at We Day, and Primrose said participating students always come away inspired. “It’s like a five-hour pep rally in trying to get the kids involved in making change.”

Council have endorsed plans for two cell towers to be constructed in Abbotsford. One tower, proposed by Wind Mobile, is a 35metre tower set for 1744 Gladwin Rd., south of Highway 1. Also proposed is a 30-metre tower at 416 Clearbrook Rd., by Rogers Communications, south of Huntington Road, near the U.S. border. The towers require approval from Navigation Canada and Transport Canada before a building permit can be issued.

Final approval from council on a proposal to build up to 555 townhouse on Sumas Mountain will be delayed after the proponent accidentally sent campaign contributions to election candidates earlier than planned. Rompsen Financial has plan to build out its Falcon Ridge development on properties north of Lower Sumas Mountain Road. After a public hearing, council deferred the decision on the project until October. But Jerry Bordian, who spoke on behalf of Rompsen, explained to council Monday that the company inadvertently sent out campaign donations to candidates – which were earmarked to be sent later – after the public hearing cutoff period where council cannot receive new information about a project. He said the timing was a clerical error and so Romspen decided to withdraw from the third reading process until after the election and will have to go through the public hearing process again. While Bordian said the company habitually makes contributions to election campaigns, out of respect to the election process they decided to defer the application until December. Bordian said they remain committed to the project and are confident development will move forward.

Airport hopes lower fees will bring more flights Fee reduction will be offset by additional revenue

New Patients Welcome!
The Abbotsford International Airport is looking to secure new service with WestJet by reducing the fees paid by the airline. Council approved three readings of changes to the airport fee bylaw on Monday, as a report from staff explained they have met with the WestJet Networking Department and are looking to secure new services by reducing fees paid by the airline at the airport. Reducing the airport charges is anticipated to be offset by more revenue through terminal fees, parking and retail associated with the new flights.
The rates are designed to help the airport complete with the Bellingham, Wash., and Vancouver airports. Vancouver airport has frozen its airline fees until 2020 so carriers can add capacity without additional costs. The current airport fee bylaw is in effect until Dec. 2015, but since it was set, staff say there has been a shift in the industry, creating downward pressure on airport pricing. Staff say the change in fees is hoped to attract new and additional flights. It would allow the airport to maintain reserves and build on them to ensure fund are available if a major expansion is required in the future.

Honoured for Canuck Place donation Abby’s Ernie Poignant receives appreciation plaque
Abbotsford pioneer and cartoonist Ernie Poignant received an appreciation plaque on Oct. 16 in recognition of his recent $8,300 donation to Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. The plaque was presented to Poignant, 95, at Primrose Gardens, an independent-living apartment building on the Menno Place campus where he lives, by Jeffrey Thiessen, fundraising co-ordinator for Canuck Place. In 2013, Poignant published a book of his original cartoons, Poignant Moments, which span his lifetime. This was a follow-up to a magazinestyle publication filled with Poignant’s cartoons that was released in 2012.
He donated the proceeds from the sales of Poignant Moments to Canuck Place in September. The children’s hospice is located on the Dave Lede Campus of Care on Marshall Road next to Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Poignant is a pioneer of the area, having been born on Matsqui Prairie in 1919. Over the years, he has made countless appearances at schools, libraries, hospitals and seniors’ homes with his “chalk art” program, sharing his passion for what he calls “comic comment through art.”

Seismic upgrade at Yale will cost district Funding arrangement change with province leads to $1 million bill Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford school board will have to pick up some of the costs associated with a $9.8 million seismic upgrade construction project at Yale secondary after the Ministry of Education altered its funding arrangements with local school districts earlier this year. Nevertheless, school district secretary-treasurer Ray Velestuck said the deal is a good one, both for the province and the district – which will get new portables out of the arrangement. Last fall, the district submitted a formal plan to upgrade Yale – one of four local schools that were identified in 2012 as having at least one “high risk” section susceptible to an earthquake. In the spring, with the cost for seismic upgrades around the province pegged at $1.3 billion, Education Minister Peter Fassbender said districts with surplus funds would be asked to pay up to half of the costs of capital projects. The policy has since been revised to exclude seismic capital projects. The Yale secondary project will upgrade two blocks, one hosting administration, drama and music facilities, and the other housing computer classrooms, a home economics room, science rooms and a washroom block. Seven portables will be installed on site, with seismic work to begin in the summer of 2015 and completed the following fall. The school district has assumed $1,615,500 of the potential costs of the renovation. It will pay $815,500 for portables,
and put $800,000 in re- stairs and building serve for potential ad- cladding. Abbotsford ditional portable costs.

They said more than a year later, only three out of 10 projects are underway. “Clearly, this was just another photo-op announcement from the premier with no followthrough,” Fleming said.

Prevent reflux by having an alkaline balanced stomach with the Bell Acidic Stomach & Alkaline Balance #39. You may not need more chemicals or drugs ever after. Many millions suffer needlessly. Read the guarantee. Truthful actual experiences from real people: Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief with noside effects and no antacids needed anymore. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking antacid products. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL Burning in my stomach, bloating, headaches all stopped! For 20 years I was tortured with stomach acid, reflux, belching, even my brain was affected. Within 2 days after taking Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline balance I had relief of all my health problems I suffered with for so long. Floyd D. Davis, 89, Denham Springs, LA Heartburn, acid reflux, stomach trouble for many years. Doctors gave me different pills, but I had no lasting relief. Had every test known to man. I finally talked to my health food store and they said Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance really works. It sure does. I had my husband and son take it and they all had the same results. I can now eat even spicy food with no problems. Verna Conti, 80, London, ON.

= CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR
By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance. Working in a health food store I heard people saying how well #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than what anything else we had in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton Beach, FL My medical indicated prediabetic. I took #40. When re-tested readings were fine. This helped my metabolism and my weight is down 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON I finally found the right #40 NPN 80040208 approach to lose weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I will forever be grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70 lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my self-esteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living. Roger Light, 57, Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Calming Stress
Helps to promote healthy mood balance, relaxation, use as a sleep aid and mental stress. Stress is one of the main causes of high blood pressure. Truthful experience by people: I am calm now in stressful situations! In the past 10 years I had a very short fuse, because my job is quite unpredictable. After I started Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 the difference was amazing. My reactions to stressful situations are totally changed. I also have more energy, too. I don’t yell at others. I have more patience and I am much happier as well. Thank you. Mary-Anne Thompson, 61, Lasalle, ON It truly made me feel calmer. I was able to better cope with stress and was not afraid to deal with stressful situations head-on, instead of avoiding them as I had done in the past. Consequently I was also able to sleep better at night. No more waking up hyperventilating from stress of the day. Peter Armbruster, 48, Waterloo, ON. I have a very high stress career in the film industry. There was no time for relaxation or meditation as you are on demand for 12-15 hours a day with no breaks. Since using Bell #66I am able to focus on the tasks at hand with more patience. Thank you for your help! Christina Ollson, 36, Burnaby, BC It’s exactly one year since we began using Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 for our two #66 NPN 80041855 sons. Our local health food store recommended it. Both of our sons suffer from anxiety disorders. Our older son (14) was going through puberty and had become quite unmanageable, because he is much larger than I am. We are delighted with the immediate results. Our older son became his former sweet self and our younger son’s (12) anxiety is dramatically reduced. Thank you so much.

Hospitals ‘not ready’ for Ebola, nurses warn Provincial health authorities will review protocols
Jeff NAGEL Black Press
B.C.’s nurses are “legitimately scared” about Ebola but haven’t been adequately trained to safely treat patients and avoid risking themselves or spreading the deadly virus to the broader population, according to their union president. B.C. Nurses Union president Gayle Duteil detailed her concerns Tuesday in a letter to regional health authorities after three suspected Ebola cases turned up in Lower Mainland hospitals but were ultimately ruled out. Duteil said Fraser Health and other health regions are “not ready” to respond to the arrival of an Ebola case. A union survey found nurses in units designated to isolate and treat Ebola patients haven’t yet been sufficiently trained in using protective gear to avoid infection. Duteil is calling for immediate action to plug gaps in Ebola response planning, along with detailed simulations for front line staff. “This cannot wait until there is another suspected case in an ER within the province,” she said. “If the health system wants our members to put themselves at risk of exposure to a deadly disease we expect that every reasonable precaution be put in place on
a priority basis.” Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall acknowledged more must be done and said he will co-chair a committee to review protocols and coordinate efforts by the health authorities. “Our first priority will be on establishing the processes to familiarize or refamiliarize health care workers with personal protective equipment so if they have to use it they can use it safely and confidently,” Kendall told reporters. He said health authorities may disagree with the BCNU assessment that they are unprepared. But Kendall said the handling of each of the three recent suspect cases – two of which were hospitalized in Surrey and Vancouver before being ruled out – turned up some issues in need of improvement. He described those cases as low to medium risk. North American anxiety about the disease outbreak that has killed thousands in West Africa soared after a patient arrived in Texas with the virus and later died. A nurse there subsequently tested positive for the virus although it’s unclear how she was exposed.“Given the concern over the breakdown of infection control we heard from Texas, it is really appropriate for us to double up on that and make sure people
who are going to be on the front lines are confident and competent and comfortable putting the equipment on and particularly in taking it off,” Kendall said. The risk from Ebola to the general public in B.C. is “vanishingly small, if not zero,” he added. Kendall praised the past bravery of health care workers in dealing with outbreaks such as SARS and pointed to HIV as a precedent where fear of exposure at times threatened to hinder treatment. Unlike airborne viruses, Ebola can only be caught through direct contact with bodily fluids of a patient who has symptoms. Fraser Health’s head of infection control previously predicted the region would successfully isolate and contain any Ebola patient arriving in the region at its designated hospital – Surrey Memorial. Although suspect patients in B.C. to date have turned out not to have Ebola, public health officials expect health workers here will be confronted with the real thing. More suspect cases are also likely since 40 people a month arrive here from West Africa and some are likely to display flulike symptoms – two factors that trigger isolation pending further assessment.

Mihir is one of the premier young squash players in Canada, currently ranked eighth nationally in his age group. He has been part of Team BC for six years, and fluctuates between first and fourth ranking in the province. Earlier this year he was offered a scholarship to Ivy League Cornell University (Ithaca, N.Y.) to play squash, despite being barely old enough to drive. “He wants to do it, he’s ready, he’s determined, he works hard,” says Raghbir. Father and son share a look. “He could work harder. He could get to number one.” Considering how quickly Mihir rose through the ranks of

Six practices a week, three tourneys a month After his father found him a coach for daily sessions, he began moving up the ladder. At 13, Mihir won his first men’s open tournament at the ‘A’ level (the second of four official levels in B.C.) against competitors of all ages. Two years ago, he placed second in the province, and last year he took seventh at nationals. This weekend he will be playing against some of the best competition in B.C. at the Evergreen Junior Open (Oct. 24-26) in Vancouver as part of the qualifying process for the Canadian Winter Games to be held in Prince George this February. So what do Mihir’s friends at Abby Senior Secondary say when Mihir tells them he plays squash? “Some people ask, ‘You play a vegetable?’” admits Mihir with a grin. “I’ve taken out my friends to play, and they say ‘Man, this sport looks so easy!’ Then I get them on the court with me and they realize it’s not as easy as it looks.” The biggest challenge Mihir and his father have faced is an odd one – Mihir is simply too good for the training or competition the Fraser Valley can provide. Mihir trains six days a week and plays around three tournaments a month, as well as running twice a week and playing on the Abby Panthers soccer team. Twice a week, Raghbir drives him to Richmond or the Jericho Tennis Club in Vancouver for expert coaching, but it’s not enough to keep up with players from the squash hotbeds in Victoria or eastern Canada. Mihir, who wants to play professionally as part of the World Squash Association World Tour, is eager to find bigger stages for his game. “I love the competition,” he says. “When you’re on the court and you have a hundred people watching you, it feels good...At nationals the bleachers are huge.” In Abbotsford, Mihir is an elite athlete in a sport on the edge of popular culture, and there certainly are no
bleachers at the Apollo Athletic Club, where he and his father train. At times they have taken
entire classes of his peers to Apollo to let them try the game. Mihir has some advice
for those learning the game, whether simply for fun or eventual competition.
“Beginning players have a tendency to hit the ball hard, but in squash you don’t need
to hit the ball hard to be a good player,” he says. “They just have good accuracy.”

Sports Hadwin and Taylor playing in McGladrey Classic In Brief Cascades launch ‘Walk n’ Knock’ food drive On Wednesday, Oct. 29, athletes from the University of the Fraser Valley will be participating in their annual pre-Halloween “Walk and Knock” food drive. Cascades athletes will be going from door to door in local neighbourhoods between 5 and 8 p.m., soliciting donations of non-perishable food items for the Abbotsford Food Bank. In exchange, donors will receive free tickets to UFV sporting events. Last year, the Cascades collected 25 boxes of food for the food bank. Anyone wishing to donate can drop off non-perishable items at UFV’s Envision Athletic Centre during the hours of the event, or can go directly to the Abbotsford Food Bank (abbotsfordfoodbank. com).

Chamber looks to candidates to move Abbotsford forward mayor should have two main functions: to act as the main public figure for Abbotsford, and to unite council around a common vision for the city.
MIKE WELTE
With elections right around the corner, the community of Abbotsford is looking to elect their next mayor and council. Chamber president Mike Welte believes the chosen
“Abbotsford’s unemployment and GDP (Gross Domestic Product) are both trending downward and are currently worse than the national average,” says Welte. “Abbotsford needs a mayor and council who truly understands that a robust economy is of paramount importance and strives to help Abbotsford
become a city where businesses thrive.” Respectively, the business community is looking for a visionary who is not afraid to challenge the status quo. Someone with a proven track record in business, who actively looks for ways to reduce costs, and is not afraid to invest in making Abbotsford more business friendly. Abbotsford should be one of the strongest economies in Canada. Welte believes that any reduction of cost creates a competitive advantage
that is needed within the community – the spin-off effects of high-paying jobs leads to more disposable income, increasing consumer spending and increasing the business tax base.
civic forums, one on Oct. 29 for council candidates, and one on Oct. 30 for mayoral candidates. Both events take place at the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, starting at 7 p.m.
“In turn, this would lead to lowering everyone’s taxes while reinvesting in additional services for the community,” he says. “Mayor and council should work to go beyond the status quo and ensure that in Abbotsford we have the best economy in B.C. ”
The audience at the events will have the opportunity to get to know the candidates, see their answers to a series of written questions, as well as hear answers to oral questions that will be asked by the moderator.
The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce will hold two
Welte encouraged everyone to vote on Nov. 15.
“This is an important election,” he says. “Please take some timeand research the candidates you feel will actively move our city forward. Only vote for those individuals you feel are the right choice for Abbotsford’s future and remember you do not need to vote for all eight council positions if you are not convinced they are the right candidates to move Abbotsford forward.” For more details, visit the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce website www. abbotsfordchamber.com

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Mike Welte
British Columbia’s small business sector continues to play a key role in job creation and economic growth in the province. It is the province’s primary provider of private sector jobs, reflecting an important and ongoing trend toward economic diversification within the provincial economy.

small businesses operating in BC, accounting for 98% of all businesses in the province! Micro-business, those with fewer than 5 employees, comprise about 81% of small business. In 2013, approximately 1,032,900 people were employed in the small business sector in BC with 416,000 self-employed and 616,400 employed by small business. This represents 55% of all private sector employees!
What is “small business”? In BC small business is defined as a business that employs fewer than 50 individuals, or one operated by a person who is self-employed without paid help. Self-employed individuals account for 53% of small businesses.
Further, the 2014 Small Business Profile reports that small business in BC accounted for 31% of the province’s GDP, above the national average of 29%. The relatively high contribution to GDP in BC is due in part to the fact that the province has traditionally been more service sector-oriented than most regions of
According to the 2014 Small Business Profile, prepared by the BC Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation, there are approximately 382,200

I followed closely like an eager salesman, telling him about the car’s finer standard features, its fuel economy (8.7/5.4 L/100kms city/highway), its ability to hit 100 klicks in 7.5 seconds. Maybe that last fact was a bit insensitive, given the nature of the beast before me. He remained silent throughout. ‘What is a donkey doing among all of these horses,’ I thought aloud. He turned, gave me a withering look before shambling away and replied: “Technically, they are ponies – short horses – and having a short ass like me around makes them feel superior.” Smart ass.

On the flip side, there’s “third time’s a charm,” implying that the third time is the best time. Third is also a podium finish! For Mercedes-Benz, three is a magical number. Thanks to the introduction of their all-new GLA – the third installment into their compact vehicle segment – the triangle is complete. And yes, good things do come in threes. Here’s why. Of the three vehicles available in North America that are built on the same platform – the B-Class, CLA and now GLA – the GLA gives owners the ability to go on and off-road. Okay, let me qualify that. Though it does come with Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR)- an off-road specific feature - it’s not meant for brutish off-roading. However, it is competent on cottage country roads or if you need to traverse into areas you couldn’t get into with a B Class or CLA.

Whether you’re opting for the GLA 250 or the GLA 45 AMG, both trims come standard with Mercedes-Benz’s fully variable 4MATIC all-wheel drive. You can shop for groceries around town in it but a trip up to a local ski hill will certainly not stress out the vehicle. Rest assured. The GLA also marks it as the first compact premium sports utility vehicle from the German automaker. Despite its compact designation, four adults could fit comfortably inside. Five might be a stretch but it’s certainly possible. Along with the warm bodies inside, it has a cargo capacity of 421 L. That increases to an impressive 1,235L with seats folded. What’s even more impressive is the sound that comes from the AMG sports exhaust continued on page 46

Inside The interior is a study in how to maximize space for a family but some of the small details could use refinement. The dash face is now covered with soft materials and looks
Drive Honda recently unveiled the new 2015 CR-V that utilizes direct injection engine technology and a slick, new continuously variable transmission. Not the case with the Toyota RAV4, it uses the same 176hp 2.5L 4-cylinder found in the last model and is matched to a 6-speed automatic. Launching from a traffic light is brisk and the noise inside the cabin is fairly low. The steering is easy to maneuver but some might find the feedback to be too vague. Adjustable engine and transmission settings help the RAV4 to either use less fuel or perform better. The Eco button changes the settings of the car to improve fuel economy plus there is a small Eco light that reminds the driver when the car is being

Looks In terms of design, Toyota wanted to make this latest RAV4 more of an emotional purchase and not just a rational choice. The design has been sharpened with more flow from the front bumper and headlamps into a swept windshield and added character lines. Gone is the old swing-out tailgate, replaced by a proper lift gate, which is now framed with protruding tail lamps that look unique but also help with aerodynamics. One area that could use an update are the cheap looking hubcaps. These come standard on the $24,005 base front wheel drive (FWD) LE trim level and $26,270 AWD model. To get proper looking alloy wheels the buyer needs to spend $28,340 for the XLE FWD or $30,540 for the XLE AWD. In the mid-sized sedan market many cars, like the Honda Accord, costing the same amount as the base RAV4 come with nice looking alloy wheels as standard equipment.
driven most efficiently. The Sport buttons holds the transmission a little longer between shifts for more responsiveness. Fuel economy is rated at 10.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, using the new more stringent 2015 fuel economy test. The RAV4 was a solid leader on the
RE
It’s hard to remember a time when we didn’t have the RAV4 in Canada. Toyota helped develop the “cute-ute” vehicles from Japan, along with the Honda CR-V. We had never seen anything like these vehicles before but they went on to forever change the marketplace and the way a family gets around. Today the compact SUV market has become so popular it will soon exceed the compact car in terms of overall sales, which has been, for decades, the cornerstone of the Canadian marketplace. The Toyota RAV4 continues to be a sales market leader and for good reason. Many buyers put their money into what I call “The Bank of Toyota” and know they will get a good return in terms of reliability, practicality and resale value.
much better thanks to the French stitching but this same panel also obscures the switches hidden below. The seat-heating buttons, the Eco and Sport settings for the transmission are all switches the driver access frequently but they are not as easy to see, as they should be. Other than the dash there is still a large percentage of the interior covered in hard plastic. The up side is a well laid out interior configuration. The doors open to a wide angle and expose a big back seat with a flat floor, for easy access. The front seats are comfortable and now the driver’s seat has a manual height adjustment. Standard features include tilt and telescopic steering, Bluetooth connectivity, USB connection and air conditioning. The LE $1,500 upgrade package is worthwhile because it includes the very important heated front seats, larger 6.1-inch display audio with backup camera and upgraded speakers. This brings the price up to $27,835.

fuel economy front but the new Honda CR-V now claims that crown.
Verdict Toyota is often criticized for not being bold enough in some of the choices it makes. Honda now has up-to-date technology in the new CR-V but Toyota is sticking with what works. This approach might be viewed as a step behind but other might look at it as tried-and-true technology that is reliable and still delivers solid fuel ratings. Toyota RAV4 was a pioneer in the small SUV space and continues to be a market leader but now the market is so crowded with entries I suspect it will need to get new engine technology when it is totally refreshed in a few years. My time with the RAV4 LE confirmed that Toyota knows how to make a thoroughly practical and easy to use vehicle that pleases all passengers. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

system. A system with two chrome-plated tailpipe trim elements featuring a twinpipe design. It’s hard to imagine that’s the burble and brawn of a 2.0L, four-cylinder engine. That’s right, the 355 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque are created from the most powerful series production four-cylinder passenger car engine in the world. Needless to say, the engine’s pairing with the 7G-DCT 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission is as delicious as Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream; ice cream that just so happens to be made in the lovely state of Vermont. And a location that was fortuitously placed on our drive route. The dynamics of the GLA were also as vibrant as the hues of the autumnal foliage that decorated the surrounding towns of Burlington. In the lesser-powered GLA 250 – which has a 2.0L, I4 turbocharged engine with 208 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque – you still have a lot of ponies to play with. In fact, of the two engines available,
this would be my choice. It has pep but also a smooth demeanor. If these engine choices look familiar to you, they are. They too can be found in the B-Class and CLA. The third time is a charm because of the compact luxury vehicles made by MB, this is my favourite. I think it has a lot to do with the styling. It has an eye-catching design, especially if you’re looking at the GLA250 with the sport package, which gives you a sport brake system with perforated front rotors and MB logos on calipers, AMG body styling with inserts in front splitter, side sill panels and rear bumper in matte titanium grey, 19inch AMG Bicolour 5-Spoke wheels with all-season tires and more. Inside, the cabin is draped in ARTICO leather upholstery; a synthetic alternative to cowhide. Then there’s a 5.8-inch full colour TFT display atop the centre stack; it increases to 7-inches if you opt for the navigation system. The fit and finish is fantastic and the overall ambiance of the cabin is cozy but not cramped. For the undulating roads,

Gone from us but leaving memories, Death can never take away; Memories that will always linger, While upon this Earth we stay. Let the fervent prayers unceasing, And the tears in silence shed; Plead with thee oh heart of Jesus, For our loved one who is 3 years dead. From your loving family.

GOGUILLOT Jean July 19, 1928 ~ Oct. 11, 2014
Jean Goguillot (nee Reeder) was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan. One of eleven children, she grew up in Melfort. She trained to be a nurse and worked in Saskatoon and Calgary. In Calgary she met John Day, and they were married in 1958. They moved to Vancouver. They had two sons: Rod (1960) and Brian (1962). The family lived for many years in Mission, where Jean nursed and was an active member of All Saints Anglican Church. She separated from John in 1980 and they later divorced. She lived in Abbotsford before marrying Charles Goguillot and moving to Yarrow, where she lived until her death on 2014. Jean was active and energetic throughout her life. She gardened and took particular pride in her home-grown tomatoes. She enjoyed golfing and walking on the trail by the Vedder River. She travelled to England, Mexico, France, and Spain. In her fifties, she returned to oil painting and pursued this for the remainder of her life, taking art classes and sharing her paintings with others. She was a dedicated reader and was particularly interested in history and historical fiction. She valued her extended family and presided at many family gatherings. Jean is survived by her sons, Rod and Brian; her sisters, Velma and Vivian; many nieces and nephews; and a group of close and devoted friends. A service in celebration of her life will take place on Saturday, October 25, at 2:00 at the White Album Chapel at 42415 Adams Rd in Chilliwack. If you plan to attend, please confirm your attendance to JeansFarewell@gmail.com. Donations in her name would be greatly appreciated and can be sent to either the Salvation Army or the Cascade Hospice.
Stephanie Jorger was welcomed into the arms of Jesus on Saturday, October 18, 2014. She ended her young life the way she lived it, Living Life. Her life was overflowing with love for family and friends. She had travelled extensively leaving love and laughter wherever she went. Her passion was to advocate for the less fortunate and encouraged so many to step out of their comfort zones and challenge themselves. Her family was her life and she leaves behind a loving husband Logan; two amazing children Justene and Bryce; her parents, Stewart and Sallyanne Calver; her brother Greg (Daphne); brothers-inlaw, Nolan (Sharon), Regan (Barb), and Brennan (Leslie). Stephanie is greatly loved and will be missed by family and friends. May the sweet sound of her laugh resonate in your ears until we see her again.
