New Patients Welcome!

Cities’ powers limited to regulate medical marijuana growers Municipalities also seek authority to control pot dispensaries Jeff NAGEL

“That gives us some control over inspection and that’s important,” he said.

Under the provincial rules, pot producers on ALR land will have to pay industrial property tax rates, not the lower agricultural rate.

Last week, a resolution seeking acceptance of municipal authority to regulate pot dispensaries passed a vote of the Lower Mainland Local Government Association (LMLGA).

Medical marijuana policy has been complicated as efforts from the federal government to move the system from home grows to the new mail-order-only model of commercial producers has become mired in court challenges.

Though commercial grows are being established, the shift re-

The province has given the green light for medical marijuana to be produced in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) despite objections from some cities, including Abbotsford.

Lower Mainland municipalities are also collectively demanding authority to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries even though Vancouver is the only city so far actively trying to exert control.

Along with the formal change to the ALR regulation making medical cannabis an allowed use, the province has established a standard that municipalities are expected to follow in passing local bylaws to control any federally licensed commercial pot producers within their boundaries.

Delta, Langley Township, Abbotsford and Kelowna must have approval from the province on any bylaws they pass affecting farmland, so Victoria has a hammer to force them to comply.

Abbotsford previously tried to pass a bylaw prohibiting the commercial grows from ALR lands, but the request was denied by the province last year. The city did pass municipal bylaws to prohibit grow-ops from industrial and residential lands.

Other municipalities may have a somewhat freer hand in passing restrictions but they cannot prohibit licensed grows outright.

The province’s bylaw standard dictates setbacks from streams and property lines, a maximum footprint size for a facility, and minimum distances from parks, schools and urban or ALR boundaries.

The agriculture ministry said it expects all local bylaws to comply with the bylaw standard and the amended regulation by early fall, adding it Cannabis plants are seen here growing at MediJean, a medical marijuana facility on industrial land in sought to ensure as much ALR land is Richmond.

Asbestos at local school not properly addressed: Report WorkSafeBC raps district for not properly ‘minimizing risk’ Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford school district failed to ensure that spilled asbestos was removed from a local high school in a “timely fashion” last December and did not notify staff when the cleanup would occur, according to an inspection report from WorkSafeBC. The report, issued earlier this year and obtained recently by the Abbotsford News, states that the district did not properly “minimize the risk of exposure of airborne asbestos fibre.”

The report does not name the school, but district communications coordinator Dave Stephen has confirmed it is W.J. Mouat Secondary.

WorkSafeBC inspected the school after receiving a complaint about potential exposure to asbestos when vermiculite – a material used in insulation and which can contain asbestos in older buildings – began falling from the ceiling by the school’s main entrance, according to the inspection report.

The vermiculite was first discovered on Dec. 11, 2014 by

report were posted in staff areas.

He said six Abbotsford schools have had accidental “spills” of vermiculite so far this year.

Shawn Mitton, a regional prevention manager with WorkSafeBC, said health problems with asbestos tend to be more common when someone is exposed to the material over a long period, although “the exposure limit is undefined.”

It can often take years or decades for health issues to arise, and Mitton said most of these situations occur to people involved in the renovation and demolition of older buildings. (Asbestos is only found in buildings constructed before 1990.)

In 2013, 59 out of 128 workplace-related deaths in B.C. were linked to asbestos exposure, Mitton said. From 2004 to 2014, there were 545 such deaths.

“It continues to be a challenge and there continues to be a risk out there,” he said.

Asbestos exposure can lead to chronic health problems such as lung cancer and scarring or thickening of the lungs.

37 vehicles stolen in 12 days Most targets over 10 years old with no immobilizer Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Police are concerned about a rash of vehicle thefts that occurred in Abbotsford from May 1 to 12.

During that period, 37 vehicles were stolen, many in west Abbotsford. Almost one-quarter were taken on a single day – May 12.

Const. Ian MacDonald said the number compares to 18 thefts for an average 12-day period at this time of year.

He said most of the vehicles stolen were over 10 years old and did not have an immobilizer or anti-theft device.

The vehicles stolen are categorized as: 34 per cent Hondas, 13 per cent Fords,

A police map shows the location of 37 vehicles that were stolen from May 1 to 12 in Abbotsford.

11 per cent Toyotas, five per cent Mazdas, five per cent Dodges and 32 per cent other.

Members of the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) will provide free anti-theft devices to owners of pre-2002 Honda vehicles and pickup trucks at various times and

locations.

MacDonald said there will not be a booth set up, but officers will approach drivers of those vehicles.

In addition, registered owners of pre-2002 vehicles without immobilizers and who are Abbotsford residents can

Lois Wilson, who donated her kidney to her sister-inlaw, is continuing to raise awareness about the importance of kidney donation.

Since making international headlines while seeking a kidney donation for her husband, much of Lois Wilson’s life revolves around increasing awareness of the need for transplants.

But since donating her own kidney, life hasn’t changed too much.

Wilson – who had the operation almost three years ago at 73 – is still

active, healthy, and able to do what she did before.

“I’ve been chainsawing, sweeping, and all the stuff you do around here – hauling wood,” she said with a laugh, looking out at her large yard in Abbotsford.

In 2008, Wilson’s husband needed a kidney transplant, but she was not a match to donate to him. She posted an ad on Craigslist, saying she

would swap her healthy kidney in exchange for one for her husband.

The request, which was pulled off the site due to concerns about

to catch the attention of national media outlets in the U.S. and in Canada – and, most importantly, a donor. A stranger came forward and offered to donate

his kidney.

Her sister-in-law suffers from the same hereditary condition as her husband – polycystic kidney disease.

“A total stranger gave a kidney to my husband.

The least I could do to pay it forward was to give to my sister-in-law.”

Wilson’s two daughters and two grandchildren also have the disease, and she is hopeful for improvements in ad-

dressing kidney disease in the future – adding that it is as important to focus on prevention of kidney disease as it is to encourage donations.

While her husband’s donor remains anonymous to the public, they are still in touch with him at Christmas and special occasions. For Wilson, being able to donate – and see her sister-in-law independent of a dialysis machine – brings her much joy.

Wilson volunteers in a dialysis unit and says some people are reluctant to ask their families about donating.

“You don’t just go up to someone and say, ‘Can I have your kidney?’ ” she said, adding it may not occur to others they are able donate to their loved ones.

There are about 120 people in Abbotsford who need life-saving kidney transplants, according to the Kidney Foundation.

Wilson is hoping that people sign up to be a registered donor – to donate their organs in case of death – as well as learn about the possibilities for living donation.

“I’m on a crusade to increase public awareness.”

A valve failure at the Norrish Creek Water Treatment Plant in March caused extensive damage to the plant’s electrical equipment, according to a report presented to council on Monday.

On March 27, a valve failed, allowing water to escape into the plant. The water kept rising until it started running out the doors on the second floor, according to the report.

Norrish Creek provides water to both Abbotsford and Mission.

The damage is set to cost about $2.1 million – though it will be covered by the insurance com-

B R O U G H T T O Y O U B Y S AV E - O N - F O O D S

pany, with the city paying the $10,000 insurance deductible.

The plant will currently use its slow sand filters until the damage is repaired, and will provide the same capacity, states the report.

However, during intense rain storms, the plant may have to be shut down until the water in Norrish Creek clears, at which time Cannell Lake and local wells will be able to provide an adequate supply, according to staff.

Consultants estimate it is possible to have the plant back in operation in eight to 10 weeks.

The report states that the water supply in the summer should not be affected if all sand filters are kept online, though it’s necessary for the repairs to be done as quickly as possible.

In October 2013, the Norrish Creek water supply was shut down for more than a month by a rock slide that breached the main water supply pipe.

At that time, residents did not see an impact to their water services as Cannell Lake and the wells were able to meet the demand.

Garlic: Friend or Foe? Being a Chef, I am certain that you will think my opinion is biased when I tell you that garlic is my friend. However, I have reasons to support my love for this little bulb.

I honestly believe that most people, who say they hate the taste of garlic, must have been exposed to an overpowered Caesar dressing or Greek tzatziki sauce at some point in their lives.

Garlic, when cooked, does not have that overly pungent flavour reminiscent of these raw form recipes. Alternatively, it has a sweeter and smoother temperament and adds a depth of flavour to your dish that cannot be mimicked.

A perfect example of this would be roasted garlic.

Whole heads of garlic roasted in the oven can be pureed and mixed into an endless variety of recipes such as

bread-dough, dips, spreads, stuffings, etc, and it’s one of the easiest things to prepare: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.

Keep the garlic heads whole, and cut off the tops of the garlic heads, just enough to expose the tops of the garlic cloves. Place the garlic heads in an ovenproof casserole dish equipped with a lid. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil over each of the exposed garlic heads, and season lightly with salt and fresh cracked pepper. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let stand at room temperature (with the lid on) until cool enough to touch. Serve whole for presentation, or squeeze out the cloves and mix into a variety of spreads, dips, or sauces.

www.abbynews.com

Garlic is one of the oldest cultivated plants known to mankind and has been hailed as one of world’s most celebrated medicinal vegetables. There are many stories of old that proclaim its pure powers to increase endurance and stamina. It also has many therapeutic properties. Medical studies have confirmed that garlic contains natural antibiotic and cleansing qualities and it is used to treat a wide range of health problems.

When buying garlic, you want to make sure that that the bulb or “head” is not discoloured and it is tightly wrapped in its own natural paper-like skin. Do not buy garlic that is falling apart, as this is a sure sign of its age.

Additionally, stay away from garlic that has little green

sprouts coming from the encased cloves - although these are virtually harmless, they are a sign that the garlic has been stored in an area that is too humid. Garlic is best stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space and it will keep for several months.

It is not recommended that you store garlic in your refrigerator.

I personally cook with and consume garlic on a daily basis. There are many great ways to add this wonderful vegetable to a variety of dishes; just practice “moderation” if the thought of the taste in your recipe scares you.

One final note: the sprig of parsley that has been added to enhance the presentation of your plate was originally derived from the practice of chewing it after a meal to freshen one’s breath.

Dozens of pharmacies booted from drug plan

May Long Weekend Specials

Three of top-20 methadone dispensers in Abby Jeff NAGEL Black Press

The B.C. government intends to effectively shut down as many as 46 Lower Mainland pharmacies by excluding them from the PharmaCare program in the wake of a review that flagged various abuses.

Letters have gone out to the pharmacies giving them three weeks to argue why they shouldn’t be denied the ability to bill the publicly funded drug plan effective next month.

There have been past allegations of kickbacks paid by methadone-dispensing pharmacies to retain addicted patients, among other concerns about their practices.

Health ministry officials aren’t releasing specifics or the locations of the pharmacies involved.

“Many of these pharmacies are dispensing methadone,” Health Minister Terry Lake confirmed.

Abbotsford had about 1,000 addicts receiving PharmaCare-funded methadone in 2013, of roughly 15,000 in the province. There are about 5,200 in Vancouver and 3,400 in Surrey.

A regulatory change that took effect in December now allows the ministry to refuse to do business with pharmacies with a history

of problematic business and billing practices, and forces them to disclose their ownership and management.

Recent audits of pharmacies have turned up hundreds of thousands of dollars in billing irregularities.

The ministry says some pharmacies improperly filed drug information for patients into the province’s prescription-tracking network, potentially risking their health, while others gave false information on their enrolment applications.

A health ministry spokesperson would not release specifics or the locations of the 46 targeted pharmacies, but said some are being excluded for problems unrelated to methadone.

Among the 20 top methadone-dispensing pharmacies in B.C., there are four in Surrey, eight in Vancouver and three in Abbotsford.

Together they were paid more than $12 million from the PharmaCare program

SUSHI J A PA N ES E

to supply methadone in 2013, according to a provincial review of the methadone maintenance program completed in January.

The review found methadone costs covered by PharmaCare have climbed by an average of 7.6 per cent a year to nearly $44 mil-

lion, making it the program’s second-highest drug cost.

Dispensing methadone to a single patient is worth nearly $6,500 a year in fees to a pharmacy net of the drug costs, the review said, and dispensing other drugs to the patient can triple that.

Studio begins Pinocchio Project Campaign aims to raise $7,000 An Abbotsford studio that creates hand-carved wooden characters has begun a campaign to raise funds to produce a line of Pinocchio characters.

The Xenis Gallery was founded in 1995 by Marlene Xenis, who was later joined by her two daughters, Tania and Jesse, and a team of highly skilled artisans.

The team hand-carves collectible dolls out of a variety of woods, including Canadian maple, and has garnered attention from around the world.

The studio sources components for their wooden characters from around the world and brings them back to their studios to be assembled and given

their final artistic touches.

The creations include characters such as the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and Rose Red, and more.

But Marlene said times have changed and the studio is struggling in a world geared to mass production.

Marlene said production of such a piece is expensive and a Kickstarter campaign has been started to help lower the costs and make the Pinocchio figures more affordable to more people.

The Pinocchio Project aims to raise $7,000. For more information, search “Pinocchio Project: at kickstarter.com or visit xenis.com.

Second place in Speak Up contest

A home away from home dedicated to caring for children who live with complex healthcare needs.

Toll free 800.622.5455

www.mattshouse.ca

An Abbotsford student has taken second place in a contest held by Speak up for Mental Health.

Sarah Salmon was among three prize winners from across B.C. who took part in the #15seconds4change Instagram contest.

The contest was part of a campaign to open the conversation about what mental health is, reduce its stigma and recognize how it affects daily life.

More than 130 entries were received.

Salmon’s submission was a depiction of steps she takes to overcome stress and practise selfcare.

“We need to be more aware, more receptive, and more involved in the change that is needed around our perception of mental health,” Salmon said of her reasons for entering the contest.

Salmon’s prize was an iPad and a Speak Up gift bag.

“John and his staff would like to welcome you to this exciting new franchise.”

Peter Mitchell, winner of The Abbotsford News’ 2014 Trip of a Lifetime Contest.

Abbotsford Chamber trip to China On April 11, a group of 31 travelers flew out of Vancouver to Beijing for what would be a memorable and educational adventure. The trip was hosted by the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce and was open to members, but also included a number of non-members and the winner of the Abbotsford News contest for a free trip to China.

The first day was spent visiting the Temple of the Harvest, established in 1420

by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty.

Then it was a trip to the Ming Tombs, a jade factory and a cloisonné factory (an ancient technique used to decorate metalwork objects). Afterwards, the group went to the mountainous area of Badaling to climb the Great Wall.

The trip’s itinerary was packed with full

days spent immersed in Chinese culture, sampling authentic Chinese cuisine and visiting historical areas, including touring the oldest part of Beijing before dining with a local family.

huge opportunity for local business, but there are significant differences, and you need to know how to do business there. Our Chamber trips are opening a window of understanding to this growing market.”

A number of the Chamber delegation met with local business officials to build contacts and create relationships for potential future business. According to Allan Asaph, Executive Director of the Abbotsford Chamber, the purpose of the trip was to introduce Chamber members to the people, history and culture of “old” China and the modern reality of “new” China.

At one point the group split in two, with 18 travelers flying back to Shanghai and 13 going to Xi’an.

“In addition, we looked to establish business contacts and develop relationships in China,” he said. “The pace at which China is moving forward is amazing. It represents

The Shanghai group took a bus tour through the local farming area to the city of Suzhou, where they visited the grounds of Tiger Hill and the “leaning tower” of China.

Meanwhile, the Xi’an group visited the Banpo Museum, a 6,000-year-old preserved prehistoric caveman site, before heading to a factory producing authorized replicas of the Terra Cotta Warriors.

The two groups eventually reunited to

spend the last full day in Shanghai before beginning their return trip on the Pudong Airport Mag-Lev Train.

“This $1.2-billion electric train makes a one-way 30.5 kilometre trip in just over seven minutes, reaching a top speed of 431 kilometres per hour,” says Asaph. “When the two trains pass each other it is impossible to take a picture of the other train because of the speed.”

On April 19, the group flew back to Vancouver.

“It was fast-paced with a very full itinerary, and from the trip reviews, everyone enjoyed the people we met, the sights, the food and the companionship of our fellow travellers,” says Asaph. “We are currently exploring new destinations for next year’s trip.”

BC Chamber: The upcoming event in our Chamber world is the Annual General Meeting for the BC Chamber of Commerce, being held in Prince George later in May. The delegates will vote on about 150 proposed Resolutions, covering agriculture, energy, finance, jobs, small business, transportation, and the like. Prior to the AGM, our Board will get together and discuss these proposed resolutions with our neighbouring Chamber Boards, allowing us to speak in a unified voice for the resolutions we all support. Our Chamber will be represented by our Executive Director, myself, our VP, and another Board member.

Canadian Chamber: The Canadian Chamber of Commerce also holds an Annual General Meeting which we attend, in October. This year, the venue is Ottawa.

Election Ridings: BC law requires that after every second election, the riding boundaries are reviewed and revised. The Electoral Boundaries Commission is recommending that parts of Aldergrove, Langley and Chilliwack be combined with parts of Abbotsford to form new ridings.

Your Chamber is opposed to the recommendations for the Fraser Valley - please see our separate article concerning this.

Chamber Committees: On a different note, we’d be happy to see you at our various Committee meetings – Agriculture, Government & Industry Relations, Member Services, and Public Policy Committee.

Every member is welcome. Dates and times are on our website - www. abbotsfordchamber.com/About Us/Committees.

Upcoming Events: As always, check out our website for our Upcoming Events. We hold Chamber luncheons with interesting speakers throughout the year. Our Business After Business is an opportunity to see a business operation from the inside, while networking at the same time. And don’t forget to sign up for our ever-popular June Agriculture Bus Tour. Our farms and agri-business create over $1.8 billion for our City’s economy, and they generate over 11,300 jobs in Abbotsford. It’s always a great tour.

Abbotsford farms and agri-business creates over $1.8 billion for our city’s economy and generates over 11,300 jobs in Abbotsford. Join us on this year’s Agricultural Bus Tour to find out why. In the morning, guests will load buses at the Sevenoaks Shopping Centre, and from there we will visit all the stops on the tour, enjoying snacks, lunch, and networking along the way.

This year’s tour will be held on Friday, June 19th and will highlight Farm to Table practices from the following businesses: Rockweld Farm Tim and Flo Rempel are the owners of Rockweld Farm. They raise certified organic fed, BCSPCA Certified, chicken and eggs. They sell their eggs and chicken, whole or pieced, from their store right at their farm. They have many longtime local customers from all over the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland.

Lepp Farm Market It began in 1995, with their non-GMO corn sold off the back of a trailer.

Meanwhile, the dream for a year-round market simmered quietly in Rob and Charlotte’s mind. Then came the growing awareness and appeal of buying locally grown food and supporting the local agriculture industry. Lepp Farm Market

truly is a perfect merger of Rob’s love of farming and Charlotte’s passion for using fresh, local ingredients.

Singletree Winery This small, family-operated vineyard is located in Mt. Lehman, in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley.

With extensive farming experience, the Etsell family has developed a strong work ethic, sense of responsibility, and appreciation for our agriculture, that they aim to express with Singletree.

Onnink’s Blueberry Farm A local cannon free, food safe, sustainable, environmentally-conscious farm they encourage nature to help keep their blueberry crop healthy and in good condition... with a very small footprint. The honey bees pollinate the blueberry buds, the ladybugs eat the pesky aphids, and the hawks protect the crop from any birds or harmful organisms that may want to eat the tasty blueberries.

CITY Taking the stage my

The Canada Day Kickoff Concert at the Abbotsford Centre on June 30 is a familyfriendly event leading up to Canada Day. The musicians scheduled to perform are strictly Canadian – with local connections – including Aaron Pritchett, King & Cash, and Beamer Wigley originating from B.C., and Alberta-born band Emerson Drive headlining the celebration.

Sharing the stage will also be the winner of this year’s Abbotsford Idol Contest presented

by Finnegan’s Grill and The Abbotsford News.

“For me personally, it’s still the best part of the job!” says Emerson Drive frontman, Brad Mates, on performing live. “The amount of shows we’ve done throughout the past 20 years makes going on stage feel like a safe place to be.”

Since their inception in 1995, Emerson Drive has been cranking out hits on the country music scene and getting audiences ramped up across North America with their footstomping stage presence. Throughout their career they have scored numerous hits, including I Should Be Sleeping, Fall Into Me, Last One Standing and their emotionally charged ballad Moments – a 2007 hit that boosted their careers and solidified Emerson Drive as a force to be reckoned with.

MAIN EVENT

Twelve-year-old singer and songwriter, Beamer Wigley will take the stage to perform an acoustic set that features both original and cover songs.

Aaron Pritchett will be one of the performers at the Canada Day Kickoff Concert on June 30 at Abbotsford Centre

Leading up to the concert, Finnegan’s Grill in partnership with The Abbotsford News will run a four-week talent contest to decide the next Abbotsford Idol.

The lucky winner will be crowned at Finnegan’s Grill on June 23 and get the opportunity to perform in an opening slot at the Kickoff Concert, as well as other prizes.

“Anyone coming to our shows can expect a high-energy performance, with songs they have heard on the radio over the past 13 years,” says Mates.

after my show is over.”

Also set to perform is country star Aaron Pritchett of Pitt Meadows, known for bringing “rock energy” to his intense stage show.

“Believe in yourself, never stop getting better, and remember that there is always something more to learn,” he says.

“I love being on stage and putting on the best show I possibly can, so the fans in Abbotsford will hopefully get to feel like they’re up there with me!” says Pritchett.

“Without a doubt my favourite song to play has to be Hold My Beer. When we break into it I get a rush of adrenaline that lasts even long

The country duo King & Cash is also set to perform at the Kickoff Concert. The group is fronted by former lead guitarist of the pop rock band Faber Drive, Jordan Pritchett of Mission – who has decided to follow in his father Aaron Pritchett’s footsteps and pursue country music.

His advice for artists aspiring to “make it big” in the music industry – like those competing in Abbotsford Idol – is to be tenacious.

“The weekly pool of competitors will perform acoustic songs, with the winners of each week moving on to the final competition round, that will have King & Cash as guest judges,” says director of booking and events at the Abbotsford Centre, Corey Margolis.

Abbotsford and Fraser Valley residents are invited to kick up their boots, dance, and sing along to the music of notable Canadian musicians along with the next Abbotsford Idol at the upcoming Canada Day Kickoff Concert.

The event gets underway at 6 p.m. Tickets start at $15 plus applicable fees. For more information, visit abbotsfordcenter.ca

In today’s busy world, it can sometimes be difficult to make well-informed decisions about proper and sufficient sun-protection. The best way to protect your skin from the dangerous effects of UV radiation is to make sun protection part of your daily routine. Here are some facts that will break it down and help you make the best decisions for you…

Look for a physical sunblock as opposed to a chemical sunscreen. Physical sun blocks contain ingredients such

as Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide – they protect your skin from the sun by deflecting or blocking the sun’s rays. Chemical sunscreens, such as Avobenzone or Helioplex, work by absorbing the sun’s rays. With this absorption into the skin, chemical filters tend to be more irritating to skin and some can cause allergic reactions.

Look for a sunblock with SPF 30. For best results, apply the sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 1-1/2 to 2 hours, even on cloudy days and after swimming or sweating. SPF 30 sunscreens block nearly 97 percent

of UV rays, where sunscreens above SPF 50 block about 98 percent. Therefore, the benefits of using an SPF higher than 30 are negligible and do not outweigh the negative of a higher chemical component.

Other ways to protect yourself from UV radiation are to limit sun exposure between 11 AM and 4 PM and especially around midday, wear widebrimmed hats, and try to plan activities in the shade as much as possible.

Remember to stay informed, read the product label ingredients, always follow the instructions, and stay sun-safe!

Hassle-Free Beauty Tips It’s a common misconception that in order to look your best, you need to devote ample time in front of the mirror each morning. However, looking your best is much simpler than it sounds. Here are a few shortcuts to help look great in no time at all!

INSTANT BEAUTY PICK-ME-UP Feeling a little run down? With just a few quick fixes, you can easily appear more rejuvenated and refreshed! All it takes is a pop of colour on your face — on your eyes, cheeks or lips — to give your overall beauty look a complete boost.

MULTITASKING LIP GLOSS In addition to giving your lips a nice shine, pearly white lip gloss can be used as a highlighter on your cheek and brow bones.

SUPER SIMPLE SMOKEY EYE

Seamlessly transition to an evening look in no time at all! Rim your lash line with black or gray eyeliner. Then dust brown or gray shadow all over your lid and crease, making sure to blend the colour up and outward. Lastly, to complete your hasslefree dramatic eye look, apply two coats of black volumizing mascara and you’re out the door!

HAIR FIXES Dress up your ‘do in about 30 seconds with a simple hair accessory. Cute hairpins, clips and headbands can dress up your hairstyle with virtually no effort at all.

Heading out after the gym and don’t have time to shower? Spritz a little perfume on your locks to mask any odor.

If you’ve never cooked with fennel, its a great way to experiment with it as it’s delicate flavour doesn’t overpower the dish. You’ll need a few fresh ingredients like fennel and parsley, but you’ve likely got a handful — or more — of the ingredients in your pantry or refrigerator right now.

To taste

Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup

fresh breadcrumbs

grant, 1 minute. Take care not to let the garlic burn, as it will add a bitter taste to the dish. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Add the tomatoes and their juices, season with salt and pepper, and stir to heat through. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, spread the tomato mixture into an even layer in the skillet.

In a small bowl, stir together breadcrumbs, parsley, feta, the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, and salt (about 1/2 tsp., depending on the saltiness of the feta) and pepper to taste. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the tomato mixture, and sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture. Bake until the shrimp are cooked through and the cheese is melted, 12 to 15 minutes.

ON THE NOSE: Strawberries, rhubarb and carnations.

ON THE PALATE: Cooked rhubarb and cranberries, fresh strawberries, hint of lime and green apple, and a spicy little kick at the end.

OVERALL: This rosé is sturdy yet light and fresh with a zing that keeps your palate alert.

BUY IT: Winery in Abbotsford, B.C. PAIR IT: Sure you could easily drink this one solo, but the zing in this rosé wine works very well as a complement to foods that incorporate tangy bits such as tomatoes and goat cheese. As well, you’ll be happy to serve it with a board of salami, cheeses and pickles or a bowl of Hardbite Sea Salt & Vinegar potato chips. Really.

The Farmer and the Foodie practices. Our Selva black tiger prawns are Ocean Wise approved, ranked a green “Best Choice” by SeaChoice, and sustainably raised in Vietnamese mangrove forests, allowing for the farming of shrimp without cutting mangroves. By maintaining a functional ecosystem of mangrove forests and aquatic species, shrimp are raised using the natural productivity of the surrounding forest habitat with no added feed, fertilizers and chemicals necessary.

Why Ocean Wise Prawns? We love our prawns! In recent years, the popularity of imported prawns has rocketed sales of this tender crustacean to account for one quarter of North America’s entire seafood consumption. However, well-respected news sources are also increasingly reporting of less-than-favourable conditions of fish-farmed prawns, including filthy pond water, unregulated antibiotic use, destruction of coastal habitats in SouthEast Asia, and worker exploitation and child labour necessary for harvesting. While BC’s cold, pristine waters host our famous spot prawns, the growing demand and willingness to pay any price by overseas markets means few of our premium prawns are sold locally. Therefore, it’s important for us at Lepp Farm Market to provide you with prawns raised using environmentally sound and community friendly

Delicious recipes like this means we want to continue eating tasty prawns, but we can consciously choose a product with the least harmful effect on the environment and the greatest benefit to the farmer, mer, whether here in our own backyard or in EXP OUR LORE oceans far away.

Why I give back The Abe Konrad story RUN FOR WATER

CALL FOR A FREE HEARING SCREENING & CONSULTATION!

“It’s seeing the glow on the faces of the runners as they come across the finish line” recalls volunteer Abe Konrad about why he helps out year after year at the Envision Financial Run for Water which takes place again on May 31st.

“Whether it’s the joy of completing the race or whether it’s something deeper knowing that they are part of a movement that brings clean water to people in Ethiopia…to me it doesn’t matter. It’s just the fact that it’s such an exciting event to be a part of in Abbotsford.”

Abe has been handing out race medals at the finish line since it began 8 years ago.

“It’s one of my favourite things to do all

“I’ve been in business with Blackwood Building Centre for 44 years and when some of the people from Run for Water approached me to be a sponsor the very first year I had no idea it would gain such traction in our community.”

He goes on to say, “I have loved seeing how it has grown over the years and now to watch our staff get involved in running with their families or volunteering at the race brings me such joy. It’s these local homegrown community events that make our city so great.”

“I guess what keeps me coming back as a volunteer goes beyond the excitement and energy that happens on race day, it’s hearing the stories of how girls in Ethiopia get to go to school because they now have access to clean water.

Add years to your pet’s life with a raw food diet SARA GALLANT TAIL BLAZERS, Health Food Store for Pets

The most common comment people make after switching their pet to raw food is that there is way less poop! And, that the poop doesn’t smell nearly as bad! Sure, that’s a great side benefit, but what that means is that our pets are using and absorbing more of their food, improving their health and vitality.

Raw food is also much easier and faster to digest than kibble, and that means dogs with gas, diarrhea and other

digestive upset, and bad breath may no longer experience these problems. Raw fed cats and dogs have defined muscle tone and weight problems often resolve.

Doggie odour disappears, noticeably less tartar and plaque, fewer ear infections, a new healthy energy, positive behavioral changes, less shedding, less severe allergic reactions, epileptic seizures can decrease, and the list goes on!

YOU and the LAW CAR CRASH? COMPENSATION FOR DEPRESSION

If you’ve been hurt in a car accident and it’s at least partly someone else’s fault, you’re probably entitled to get compensation from the other driver (who usually has some ICBC liability insurance coverage).

The aim of such compensation is to put you in the same, but no better, position you would have been in if the accident hadn’t occurred. If you’re partly at fault, your compensation will be reduced accordingly.

ovation project after moving to the Lower Mainland in 2000, and took in homestay students. And she still did things like going on a motor bike trip to the States in 1999. She raised her two children mostly on her own and enjoyed looking after her grandkids.

After the car accident, she was a changed person. She had chronic headaches and neck, shoulder and back pain from the accident.

She had serious memory loss episodes. One time she forgot her grandkids after taking them But what if your injuries are mostto a park on an outing. Another ly psychological? For long-lasting time she forgot a boiling pot on depression and chronic pain, you a friend’s stove. Her daughter may still be entitled to substantial couldn’t trust her looking after Stanley T. Cope compensation. the grandkids anymore. She was also short-tempered and irritable Linda (names changed) was 58 when she was hurt in a car crash with Manny with them now, though never before. in 2010. Manny turned left in front of her at an intersection in Surrey, and the vehicles collided. Both vehicles were seriously damaged by the impact and had to be written off.

Linda and Manny disagreed who was at fault.

But relying on an independent witness and other objective sources, the court decided both Manny and Linda were equally to blame.

Unfortunately, Linda’s injuries were long lasting and she still suffered at the trial four years later in 2014.

Before the accident, Linda was an active outgoing person. She used to go camping, hiking, fishing and, in later years closer to the accident, “ghost hunting” with friends.

The court looked at the psychiatric evidence and concluded that Linda’s depression more than 20 years earlier was in remission and wasn’t a factor before the car accident. By the time of trial, however, she was diagnosed as having a major depressive disorder and a somatic symptom disorder, resulting in her experiencing chronic pain. The court attributed both of these conditions to the car crash with Manny.

The court awarded Linda damages of $160,000 for her depression and chronic pain, plus over $155,000 for other things like loss of future earning ability and lost past wages. Because the car accident was half her fault, though, that amount was reduced by half.

Back in 1992, she had a workplace back injury that needed two back surgeries. Afterwards, she could no longer lift heavy things and it slowed down her activities. Around that time, she also suffered from depression due in part to her brother’s drowning death and her son’s schizophrenia diagnosis.

Opening for new exhibits at The Reach on May 21 The gallery museum entices with Milkshakes and Gasoline to Conversations and the Port Mann Four new exhibitions will open at The Reach Gallery Museum on May 21, ranging in content from Milkshakes and Gasoline, to Conversations and the Port Mann.

Jay Hanscom, originally from Coquitlam now living in Sooke, will take audiences on a nostalgic journey in Milkshakes and Gasoline, which is partially funded by the Hamber Foundation.

Drawing on popular culture of the late 20th century, the artist explores constructions of masculinity in his generation. Images of boxcar racers, dart boards, skulls and ray guns recall a particular brand of hyper-masculinity associated with middleclass culture.

In “The Conversation,” Ontario artist David Newkirk pays homage to his artistic influences including Pablo Picasso, Diego Velázquez, and Willem de Kooning in a series of large-scale abstract paintings.

Newkirk views his current practice as a kind of “sacred conversation” between himself and historic and contemporary art and artists. The Conversation is presented in partnership with the Thames Art Gallery and the municipality of Chatham Kent.

In “Port Mann,” Kelowna artist Jane Everett presents audiences with large-scale

drawings of the Port Mann Bridge, capturing the moment when construction of the new bridge is underway but the old bridge still ex-

ists. The works exalt the scale of the undertaking, while exploring the tension between the manmade and natural environment.

In addition, the exhibition “In The Frame” by the Abbotsford Photo Arts Club will be showing in the south gallery.

Meet the artists at

the exhibitions’ opening reception on May 21 at 7 p.m. at The Reach (32388 Veterans Way).

Enjoy refreshments, food and music by

Amy Zhao. There will be a donor celebration at 7:15 p.m. for all the supporters of the new ScanPro 1100 scanner/ printer for the archives.

On May 22 at 1 p.m., join artist Jane Everett at The Reach for a free artist talk with a tour through her Port Mann exhibition.

Johal named to Fraser Health board

A home away from home dedicated to caring for children who live with complex healthcare needs.

Toll free 800.622.5455

www.mattshouse.ca

Former Global TV reporter Jas Johal, currently a spokesman for the BC LNG Alliance, is the newest director on the board of the Fraser Health Authority.

The one-year appointment was made by Health Minister Terry Lake, who cited Johal’s unique skill set and international and local media experience.

“His strong ties to the South Asian community and his cultural background will allow him to provide an important perspective to the board around health care needs of the people served in Fraser Health,” Lake said.

There are currently two South Asian directors serving on the nine-member Fraser Health board – Royal Bank executive Inde Sumal and former Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode.

Johal, a Tsawwassen resident, replaces Sumal, whose term expires May 31.

Strong defence helps Yale claim Fraser Valley championship

A week after the Yale girls claimed the AAA Fraser Valley rugby championship, the Lions’ boys team followed suit and upended the Earl Marriott Mariners to claim the school’s first AAA senior boys boys valley championship Wednesday at Rotary Stadium.

Earl Marriott had downed the Lions in multiple Fraser Valley championships and had prevailed when the two teams met last month.

But on Wednesday, it

to return to the field to even up the teams, another Yale player ejected for a punch.

Marriott used their ad-

was Yale who finished on top of the 14-10 scoreline, despite being on the defence for most of the second half.

A penetrating run from Daniel Cercel opened the scoring for Yale late in the first half.

Matt Fraser converted to give the Lions a 7-0 lead, but Marriott quickly responded with a penalty kick to narrow the Yale advantage at the break.

The second half saw a Lion banished to the sin bin for 10 minutes early and, just as he was about

vantage to push the play into the Yale end. For some 20 minutes, the ball remained within 10 yards of the Lions try

line, but the Mariners couldn’t score. Twice the ball found itself within a yard of the line. On two Continued on A43

Abbotsford News Friday, May 15, 2015

Lepp advances Abbotsford golfer James Lepp won a local qualifier this week to move him one step closer to playing in the U.S. Open.

Although he’s reduced his playing time in recent years in order to focus on his business, with this year’s U.S. Open being held near Tacoma, Lepp decided to take a stab at qualifying.

Playing this week in an 18-hole local qualifier in DuPont, Wash., Lepp finished tied for sixth and won a playoff to move on to the next stage, a 36hole sectional qualifier.

“I need to improve all facets of my game to make it, plus play well, and probably get a little lucky,” Lepp said.

Lions ‘played out of their skin’

other occasions, an Earl Marriott player crossed the try line but was prevented from touching the ball to the ground.

Eventually, Yale cleared, and got the ball to Grade 12 winger Noah Bain, who took the ball wide, broke several tackles and placed the ball with jubilation between the Mariners’ goal posts.

Earl Marriott responded with a try of their own, but the Lions managed to kill the clock for the rest of the game in order to seal the win.

“The boys had a lot of adversity in that game and really played out of their skin,” Yale coach Doug Primrose said after the game. “It’s probably one of the best performances I’ve seen from one of our teams that I can remember.”

He credited the forwards for their rucking and scrum-half Thomas Rennie for getting the ball to Yale’s runners.

The win will earn Yale a high seed for the upcoming provincial championships in Abbotsford later this month.

They’ll be joined by Robert Bateman, who claimed third place in the valley with a 42-21 victory over Lord Tweedsmuir Wednesday before the championship game.

Close races at Valley track finals

The first two days of competition at the Fraser Valley High School track and field competitions saw more than two dozen Abbotsford athletes finish on the podium.

Monday and Tuesday’s action saw more than a couple events come down to the wire, with competitors separated by a blink of an eye. In several such cases, it was Abbotsford athletes who found themselves on the top of the podium.

The junior boys 100 metres, for instance, saw the top three runners separated by just a single hundredth of a second, with Robert Bateman’s Anthony Bodger coming out on top, with a time of 11.95 seconds.

Rick Hansen’s Valerie Mensah-Wilson won the senior girls 100 metres in a time of 12.95, with the top five runners separated by just five hundredths of a second.

MEI’s Matthew Welsh won the senior boys 110-metre hurdles by just .04 of a second. And Abbotsford Christian’s Jarrod Choi won the junior boys 1,500 race walk by just two-tenths of a second.

Not all events were so close. W.J. Mouat’s Vikramjit Gondara’s discus throw of 46.1 metres outdistanced the nearest junior boys competitor by seven and a half metres.

And MEI’s Hannah Kornelson claimed first in the senior girls 1,500-metre race walk by beating the next-fastest walker by more than 40 seconds.

Other first-place finishes came from ACS’s Annika Rebel, who won the Grade 8 girls discus throw, and Cole Brandsma, who won the Grade 8 boys triple jump and finContinued on A45

the TDI cruised effortlessly at over 120 km/h.

After a lunch break of traditional paella, the group headed out again into the canyons and rugged landscape – very similar to Utah – with carved cliffs. The most memorable part was the smell of wild Rosemary bushes and the wild Jasmine filling the air. Not just a hint, rather a wonderful aroma that occupied the entire valley floor.

As we pulled into Malaga after 12 hours behind the wheel of the 2015 Touareg, I have come to appreciate it all over again. This is a premium VW offering, starting at $53,965. The TDI is the one to get. Not that the regular gasoline is a bad choice; rather, the TDI diesel is a better choice. The TDI version delivers amazing power; it uses up to 25 per cent less fuel and has amazing resale value. The 2015 model gets a slight facelift, so slight I’d have a hard time pointing out the changes, but this SUV is about what it can do, not how flashy it is.

Highlander big for bigger families

When Walt says, “It’s like new!”

by Bob McHugh

Toyota introduced a completely redesigned and more upscale Highlander in 2008 (its mid-sized utility vehicle) that was bigger with three rows of seating, more powerful and more expensive.

Bad timing, as that

very same year the world`s economy took an unexpected and spectacular nosedive, which sparked a major consumer trend to scale down.

This model offers has a more rounded shape with pronounced wheel arches and there’s a flip-open rear door window. It`s a handy feature that allows you to drop stuff into the cargo area without opening the large rear door.

The V6 engine versions of Highlander came with four-wheel-drive plus extra goodies like a back-up camera, a power driver’s seat and fog lamps. Above base, the higher trim levels were Sport, Limited and SR5 (only for 2008).

Reacting to the new economic reality, in an impressively quick way, Toyota introduced a substantially lower priced and more basic, frontdrive Highlander, midway through the ’09 model year. It came with two-row seating and a 2.7 litre 4-cylinder engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. This engine can provide 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque at 4,100 rpm and its city/highway fuel

economy rating is 11.8 / 8.7 L/100km.

Highlander is a ‘Top Safety Pick’ according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, based on its front, side and rear crash tests. Highlander was included in a series of safety recalls (see list), including the famous “floor mat recall”, in response to mysterious defect that supposedly caused unintended acceleration.

No changes were made to the 2010 Highlander, but for 2011, it got revised front and rear styling, with slimmer headlights, a new front grille and new taillights. The Sport model was discontinued and the hybrid version got a (combined 280 horsepower) 3.5L V6.

A third-row seat also became standard on all models.

No significant changes were made for the 2012 or 2013 model years, which were the last of this generation Highlander.

The completely revised 2014 Highlander, a sleeker family-friendly seven passenger cross utility, recorded its best year ever.

A comfortable and secure all-weather family cruiser, the Toyota Highlander is a low risk purchase with a history of solid reliability and excellent resale value retention.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Thomas Lindsay Moore, husband, father, grandfather and ggpa to his newly born great grand daughter. After a short illness, Lindsay passed peacefully on May 7th, 2015 with his loving wife of almost 50 yrs by his side. Lindsay was born the fifth of seven children in Mission, B.C and was raised on a dairy farm in Hatzic, B.C. Being raised on a farm set the theme for most of Lindsays life as he loved to be outdoors. From hunting, canoeing the Bowron lakes, many camping vacations and his greatest love, his ranch in Lone Butte, Lindsay was most happiest being close to nature.

He is survived by his loving wife and his childhood sweetheart, Cheryl, his two daughters Corrina (Larry) and Tracy (Terry), his seven granchildren, Jericho, Braeden, Cassandra (Dustin), Tabitha, Jocelyn, Sheriden, and Tiahnna and his great grand daughter, Haisley. Also, survived by his two sisters Pat Jago, Gerry Russoski and his Brother Ron Moore. Lindsay was predeceased by his parents, Tom and Joyce Moore, his sister, Shirley Mathews and his two brothers, Ken and Mike Moore.

Lindsay spent most of his career in the home building trade as an architect, a designer of custom homes and as a building inspector. One of Lindsays designs is the only log home to date built in Isreal.

Lindsay was an artist, both in carvings and paintings, and an all round craftsman having tried his hand in many wonderful creations, From his own pontoon boat to a six foot long fishtank that was a gift to his family, Lindsay was always trying new things. His love of music was also paramount in his life. He was the lead singer in a band and a gifted guitar player and his family enjoyed many hours of listening to him sing in gatherings around the campfire, and at parties in his home where everyone was welcomed and joined in in the singing and playing of instruments.

Lindsay and Cheryl purchased a piece of undeveloped land May/92 - 23 years ago and there, they spent their summers turning it into a working ranch. Lindsay played with his big boy toys and the ranch now stands as a beautiful culmination of their hard work and was enjoyed by family and friends alike.

Lindsay will be greatly missed by family and friends. His ashes will be taken back to the ranch that he so dearly loved.

As per Lindsay’s request, there will be no funeral, but a Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday May 31st, 2015 from 1 - 4pm at the Eagles Hall, 33868 Essendene Ave., Abbotsford Condolences can be sent to: wiebeandjeskefh.com
