Smoke chokes Valley

Wildfires across province degrade air quality

BAD DRIVING EXCUSES

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Karen Mortensen first noticed that her breathing was becoming more laboured a few days ago, but the situation intensified on Sunday as the air thickened in the Fraser Valley.

A heavy haze blanketed the Valley, including Abbotsford and Mission, due to smoke from wildfires throughout the province and in Washington State.

Mortensen suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a lung disease that constricts breathing.

The diminishing air quality resulted in Mortensen having to confine herself to her Mission home.

“For me, when the air gets really thick like this … it makes it extremely hard to breathe.”

She uses inhalers and is now taking the maximum dose. Even climbing the stairs in her home has become labour-intensive.

“This is the worst year ever … I have never seen it like this.”

Many other people posting on the Abbotsford News Facebook page reported similar issues such as coughing, sore throat, stuffy nose, headache and difficulty breathing.

“I have a very rare lung disease and I haven’t

‘Unprecedented’ air conditions From A1

been able to leave my house. Even at home, I’m coughing and finding it hard to breathe well,” posted Elya White.

Dr. Lisa Mu, medical health officer for Fraser Health, said the region has seen a recent increase in people coming into hospital emergency departments. But, she added that it is difficult to tell whether the spike is due to heat- or respiratory-related issues.

She said the main concern is for those with pre-existing conditions, such as COPD or heart problems. Mu advised generally healthy people to monitor symptoms and if they become serious, seek medical attention.

An air quality advisory issued Sunday in Metro Vancouver was expanded to the Fraser Valley on Monday due to high concentrations of fine particulate matter related to the wildfires.

According to the Ministry of Environment, the air quality health index on Monday in the central Fraser Valley was expected to reach seven (out of 10), putting it in the “high” range, while the eastern Valley was expected to reach a “moderate” level of five.

Both regions were slated to reach highs of five yesterday (Tuesday) and were expected to remain at the “moderate” level today.

Metro Vancouver air quality planner Geoff

Local resident Christina Prinn took these photos a week apart, both at about 9 p.m., on the Abbotsford side of the Fraser River near the Mission Bridge . The photo with the haze was taken on Sunday, July 5.

Doerksen said fine particulate concentrations from the smoke hit levels never seen before across the Lower Mainland.

“Seeing these heavy smoke levels mix down to the ground is unprecedented for our region,” he said. The air quality objective for fine partic-

ulate is 25 micrograms per cubic metre measured as a 24-hour rolling average.

Readings four times that level – 100 micrograms or higher – were recorded Monday morning at stations in Metro Vancouver.

Other areas with particulate levels double

to triple the objective included Surrey at 81.7, Langley at 67.2, Abbotsford at 66.2 and Chilliwack at 50. Hope was less smoky at 10.

“We’ve never seen this before,” Doerksen said. “We’re exceeding our fine particulate objectives at all of our stations in Metro

Vancouver as well as our Fraser Valley stations.”

The hazy conditions are expected to persist until there’s a change in the current weather pattern.

The wildfires – including ones in Sechelt, Nelson and Pemberton – have raged due to dry conditions brought on by low precipitation and record temperatures.

Abbotsford recorded its driest June on record with just 12.1 mm of rain, compared to the normal amount of 74.8 mm. The previous record was 14.5 mm in 2009.

The city also recorded its warmest June on record with a mean monthly temperature of 18.8 degrees Celsius, compared to the normal mean temperature of 15.7. The previous record for June was 18.2 in 1958.

Records continue to be smashed in July.

Abbotsford’s high of 36.3 degrees Celsius on Saturday (July 4) broke a 57-year-old record for that date. The previous record for July 4 was 31.7 degrees in 1958.

The warm spell is expected to persist throughout the week.

While westerly winds could help alleviate some of the smoke issues on the ground, a ridge of high pressure is expected to trap much of it in the area.

Abby and Mission in Stage 3 water restrictions Dry weather and no snow pack have led to early Stage 3 water restrictions.

All Abbotsford and Mission residences and businesses receiving water from the municipal system must comply.

Those with private wells and residents on Clearbrook Waterworks are exempt.

All lawn sprinkling is banned, but hand watering of lawns is allowed with a hose equipped with a spring-loaded shut-off device, or a hand-held container.

Watering of flowers, shrubs and vegetables – or washing boats and cars – can be done by hand or a hose with a shut-off nozzle. Sprinklers can be used for kids to play in, but the city suggests not to run them for long periods.

Parks staff in Abbotsford and Mission are not watering passive areas in city parks.

Sand-based fields are watered on alternate days, and soil-based twice a week.

City officials say fields are expensive and must be watered to be maintained, as they are expensive to repair and re-seed. It would also impact community groups who pay to use sports fields if they are unusable in the fall.

Fields undergoing renovation are also excluded from the regulations, including fields at Townline, Upper Sumas, McMillan and Exhibition Park. Fields at Bateman, DeLair, Ellwood and Mill Lake are permitted to water outside the restriction schedule to keep them in playable condition.

City water use has gone down since the implementation of the lawn sprinkling ban.

However, if the city hits Stage 4 restrictions, all forms of lawn watering will be prohibited, as well as a ban on the use of city water for flower gardens, pools, fountains, washing cars or boats, and more.

For commercial operations, such as car washes and golf courses, and city properties, such as sports fields, the use of treated water would be at the discretion of the city engineer.

Fault could shake Abby again Local residents feel rumbling from minor quake Sunday Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

A small earthquake that rattled buildings and woke some Abbotsford residents is a reminder that the ground beneath the Fraser Valley has the potential to shift at a moment’s notice.

The quake, measuring 3.3 on the Richter Scale, took place around 12:45 a.m. Sunday. The tremor occurred 10 kilometres below ground and was centred about seven kilometres southeast of the city, just south of the U.S.-Canada border, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Many residents wrote on Facebook that they were woken by a large bang, with some reporting substantial shaking.

Many others, though, said they didn’t feel anything.

While no damage was reported and small earthquakes are not uncommon in Western British Columbia, Sunday’s tremor hints at the challenges posed by the Fraser Valley’s unique geology.

The danger posed by the Cascadia Subduction zone lurking off the coast of Vancouver Island is well-known. A massive potential earth-

Scientists have identified faults running close to Abbotsford. quake – “The Big One” – measuring in excess of 8.0 on the Richter Scale, would likely do billions of dollars of damage in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island.

Abbotsford’s distance from the quake means that the low-frequency rolling waves from a major tremor could pose a danger to larger buildings in the Fraser Valley, according to Garry Rogers, an earthquake scientist with the Geological Survey of Canada.

Although smaller buildings are less at risk, they could still sustain damage, de-

pending on how they were built.

Then there are the local faults.

In 2008, a small, slightly curved 11-kilometre line was added to a United States Geological Survey (USGS) map. It’s positioned 17 kilometres southeast of the city, and could deliver a jolt to Abbotsford residents.

The line represents what is known as the Boulder Creek Fault, which begins near Kendall, Wash., and runs roughly parallel to the Mount Baker Highway. The USGS says the fault is ca-

pable of a 6.8-magnitude earthquake and has been active.

But although a 6.8-magnitude earthquake near Olympia, Wash. in 2001 killed one person, injured around 400, and caused substantial damage, Rogers said the Boulder Creek Fault isn’t a major danger to this area.

That, he said, is because the fault lies within just one kilometre of the surface, compared to a depth of 50 kilometres for the Olympia quake.

The shallow depth means the strength of the shaking will de-

crease rapidly as distance increases from the quake’s epicentre.

“It’s proximity, proximity, proximity,” Rogers said, noting a potential earthquake has been modelled on the area.

Such an earthquake would rank six on the Mercalli intensity scale, with strong perceived shaking but light damage.

The fault isn’t the only one in the area.

On each side of the Sumas Prairie, two parallel faults lie below the edges of Sumas and Vedder mountains. They run through the eastern portion of Abbotsford before crossing the border in a southeasterly direction.

The faults were the subject of a 2000 paper by three Western Washington University professors who wrote the faults “pose serious seismic hazards to the region,” and the paper has been cited in reports prepared for municipal and county governments.

The faults are not shown on the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) seismic hazard maps of the region, and Rogers said no active faults have been recorded on the Canadian side of the border.

Most don’t have earthquake insurance Lack of awareness, concern about cost of deductibles to blame Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

Despite living on some of Canada’s most seismically active areas, earthquake insurance can be a hard sell for British Columbians.

Home insurance policies do not automatically protect against damage from quakes. But while additional earthquake coverage can be purchased, a 2014 poll suggests many British Columbians forego it, either out of a lack of knowledge, or because they don’t think a quake is likely to strike their area.

In response to a question on The News’ Facebook page, residents cited concerns about large deductibles and even the solvency of the insurers.

Some of those concerns are more valid than others.

YOUR

While any single year carries a relatively small risk of an earthquake, when a tremor does strike, it could wipe out billions of dollars worth of property.

The huge scale of such a disaster means deductibles can be large. Clay Germain, the president of the Insurance Brokers Association of British Columbia, said deductibles range between five and 25 per cent of the cost to replace or repair damaged property.

They vary substantially depending on the risk to the local area. Germain said insurers categorize areas – often down to the postal code – with higher-risk areas like Richmond requiring larger deductibles.

Abbotsford, he said, is “on the mid- to lower end compared to some of the higher risk areas of the Lower Mainland.”

One insurer gives each location a rating on a scale of one to six, where Richmond

is a one and Abbotsford rates a three or a four, depending on the postal code.

Deductibles here, Germain said, are in the 10 per cent range.

He also noted that policies exist that essentially insure against the cost of paying the deductible for one’s earthquake insurance.

The ability of insurers to pay out if a big earthquake strikes, meanwhile, has not only been of concern to potential customers. In 2012, Canada’s Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions required insurers to have more money on hand in case of a large earthquake.

Awareness is perhaps the biggest challenge, though. The 2014 Insurance Bureau of Canada reported that 71 per cent of respondents said they would rely on insurance to cover rebuilding costs, despite most not having earthquake insurance.

Tractor sparks huge fire 70 firefighters battle blaze at greenhouse operation Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

A large blaze at a greenhouse operation on Smith Avenue started with a fire on a loader tractor.

Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service crews were called to the scene – located off Lefeuvre Road in west Abbotsford – for a large bark mulch fire just after 2:20 p.m. last Thursday.

“It started off as a loader tractor that caught fire in the middle of that bark mulch material,” said assistant fire chief Craig Bird.

“The loader tractor caught on fire, which caught the bark mulch on fire, which caught the structure on fire.”

The bark mulch is used as a heat source for the greenhouse operation.

Bird said there were about 70 firefighters at the scene.

“We called in about every resource that we possibly could.”

He added that there

A tractor that caught fire sparked a bark mulch blaze that eventually spread to a building at a greenhouse operation on Smith Road . were still crews available to respond to issues in other areas of the city.

Crews were at the scene until 4:30 a.m.

Friday.

Heat is a big issue for firefighters, particularly in daylight hours. Bird explained that they rotate crews through a rehab program with BC

Ambulance Services.

They work for 30 minutes and then they have to hydrate, eat, and have their vitals and body core temperature checked.

All the firefighters were cycled through multiple times, he said.

He said luckily there was a retention pond

at the site, providing “an almost unlimited water source” that the trucks could draw from.

“It was a huge factor in mitigating this,” he said.

“It was a really aggressive firefight for the first hour, but we got a handle on it pretty quickly.”

Drivers’ worst excuses

Some of Abbotsford’s poor drivers are even worse liars.

The Abbotsford Police Department has again launched its annual “Driving Excuses Week,” in which the department posts on its social media accounts laughable reasons for breaking traffic laws.

“This is my first ticket ever!” one driver told an officer after being pulled over. The officer reminded the driver of a previous ticket written for running the same stop sign just two weeks prior.

Another driver said, “I wasn’t using my phone.

You are mistaken,” after being pulled over. The

argument failed when the officer pointed out the driver was still holding the device.

One woman said she was speeding on her way to “an emergency.” And that was? A husband who had called because of their crying baby.

And another post relays a story of an intoxicated driver abandoning a vehicle, jumping into a police cruiser thought to be a cab, and imploring the driver to “Get me out of here, buddy, cops are everywhere tonight.”

The department will be posting more throughout the week at facebook.com/AbbyPoliceDept and on Twitter, at @AbbyPoliceDept.

Heart and Soul award at BC pageant While Abbotsford contestants didn’t take home crowns at the weekend’s Miss, Miss Teen and Mrs. BC Pageant, local resident Becca Toews won the Heart and Soul award.

Heart and Soul is the first event of the pageant, where each contestant shares a bit about herself. It is judged by the contestants themselves, who vote on the most inspiring or touching message. Toews was competing for the title of Mrs. BC. The pageant was held July 3 to 5 at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley and can be seen on Shaw Television later this fall.

This year’s roster of contestants from Abbotsford included Toews, Aleshia Mund, Annalise Gardner, Carrisa Neville, Jasmine Brar and Sonia Khumna.

This pageant is different from others in that all previous rules that may have discriminated against women in pageants have been lifted. There is not a maximum age limit to participate nor are there height and weight requirements.

Also, among the contestants are women who are single parents.

The charity for the Miss BC Pageant is the Cops for Cancer Tour of the Canadian Cancer Society.

Since 2007, the Miss BC Pageant has raised more than $225,000 for the cause.

Shakti Shunmugam from Vancouver was named Miss BC, while Shalini Gambhir from Vancouver was Mrs. BC and Shalom Reimer from Fort Langley was Miss Teen BC.

Drowning in denial over water conservation Andrew

Holota

On Point “I pay my taxes! No one is going to tell me I can’t water my lawn!”

It’s hard to believe anyone would make such an ignorant statement of self-entitlement, but that sort of comment is not uncommon in response to the city’s recent total ban on lawn sprinkling.

While the great majority of residents are understanding, and willing to let their lawns go brown, there are a few who think it’s their “right” to use water as they wish.

After all, they’re paying for it, right?

Yes, we all are. And with the exception of those who have their own wells, we all share the same water source.

And it’s oh so finite.

We’re a far cry from California, which is facing a frightening water shortage crisis.

Nevertheless, we’ve just gone through an extremely dry spring, and are now seeing

heat records fall through June and early July.

Lakes and creeks north of Mission are our primary water supply, as they are for that community as well.

One of those lakes is now at a historic low.

And in June, another record was set with just 12mm of rain compared to a normal of 75. If the dry weather continues through the rest of the summer and into early fall, will we have enough water?

Not without continued, and likely increased, conservation.

What is particularly irksome about the “water wastrels” is the prevailing attitude that stewardship of the resource is somehow someone else’s concern, particularly government.

But governments can’t make it rain. They can only order citizens to lower consumption, and enforce it, which seems necessary for some folks.

And if the scofflaws do get dinged for ignoring the ban, wait for the indignant howling about how the city is sprinkling playing fields, or why the water park is still operating.

In the case of the latter, it’s on a motionactivated system; and in terms of sports fields, some are being kept green with well

water, and the city will keep them in operation for public use as long as it’s feasible. But ultimately, that will all have to be shut down too, if conditions demand.

Regardless, pointing to other examples of dubious water use doesn’t excuse ducking individual responsibility.

Not only is your lawn brown, but your car is dusty too.

Now there’s a crisis.

I expect we will (and should) soon see bans on washing vehicles and driveways, refilling swimming pools, and running the sprinkler for the kids to play in.

Hey, buddy. Not only is your lawn brown, but your car is dusty too. Now there’s a crisis.

Officials say we’re probably OK for this summer, given consumption conservation measures.

The long-term concern is next year. If we have another relatively dry, warm winter that fails to build “normal” snowpack levels, followed by another dry spring, reservoirs

SWITCHBOARD 604.853.1144 I CIRCULATION: 604.870.4595 I CLASSIFIED: 604.851.4537

won’t refill, and we face a far more serious situation next summer.

Maybe the $300-million Stave Lake new water supply project that Abbotsford voters killed in a referendum four years ago wasn’t such a bad idea. Put aside the P3 paranoia and corporate control conspiracies. There’s a real bogeyman out there. It’s called climate change.

Go ahead, pooh-pooh global warming which, of course, is another evil Big Money (or government) plot. Dismiss the science as junk.

Drown in denial as long as you can.

A few decades ago, Valley winters commonly featured weeks of snow. Springs weren’t anything but wet. I remember October hunting and fishing in the Interior in sweaters and jackets, not T-shirts.

But, keep braying about your precious lawn and your tax-paying “rights.”

Don’t think about a worst-case scenario created by the “I’ll-use-as-much-as-I-like” mentality, in which the tap doesn’t produce, and the toilet won’t flush.

Then you can complain to the neighbour’s cat, because you’ll be outside squaring off with it for a spot in your flower garden.

letters Acceptance that son is gay I felt so strongly about Mr. Peachey’s letter about the “immoral” gay lifestyle, I needed to reply.

He said Abbotsford is condoning this immorality by flying the pride flag. I probably felt the same way, many years ago.

Then one day my son told my husband and I that he was gay. Then I had to find out more information, so I called PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). What a great organization it is. They speak about acceptance and tolerance, and how any person’s son or daughter can be gay.

I can tell you that it is not a choice. My son had an extremely hard

time coming to terms with his sexuality.

Who would choose to be frowned upon and looked down on? Who would choose that? Or risk being gay-bashed?

He’s come to accept it now and so have my husband and I. I am a Christian and we are taught not to judge, but to love everyone as we would want to be loved. He’s still our son and no different than before we knew.

The suicide rate for gay kids is very high – two to three times the rate of non-LGBT teens. It is because of not being accepted by their friends or family; of not being able to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Or being

thrown out of their homes. I wonder what Mr. Peachey would do if his own son or daughter told him they were gay? For us, we’re going to celebrate our son and the flying of the gay pride flag in Abbotsford.

Maybe someday Chilliwack, and other so called “Christian” communities will also fly the flag to show support for diversity.

Paying world pricing Re: “New pipeline may cost cities millions” Of course pipeline consruction will create costs for several levels of government (read “taxpayer” here).

And end-users of oil will be paying a premium for decades to come. What? You actually expected that oil producers would spend billions upon billions without recouping their investment? C’mon.

That’s not how it works. Oil interests proudly proclaim that once foreign markets are open to them, they will be able to charge world prices. And then we here in Canada will have the privilege of paying whatever world pricing is in effect.

New pipeline construction is most definitely winwin for the proponents, yet not so much for those of us still needing to gas up on a regular basis.

New aviation Cost-neutral changes coming course for to Abbotsford’s bus system secondary Changes aim to address late and unreliable buses students Alex BUTLER

Abbotsford News

The sky’s the limit for Grade 12 students starting next February, when the Abbotsford school district launches its Aviation Ground School Course.

Developed and administered through the district’s career programs department, the new course will be offered by Coastal Pacific Aviation at Abbotsford Airport. This “tuition-free” course is Transport Canada approved, and is a University of the Fraser Valley-recognized course that pilots must have in order to obtain their licence.

The AV-100 Ground School theory is provided for individuals who are interested in obtaining their private pilot’s licence and/or those interested in gaining knowledge in a career in aviation.

Although not offered as part of this course, flight training is available for graduates of the program, as well as preferred entry into Coastal Pacific’s and UFV’s aviation programs.

“An additional benefit for participants in the district Aviation Ground School Course is the surging aviation demand felt in both local and international markets,” said Patricia Tebbutt, district principal of career programs.

“Recent reports have noted that according to Boeing, airline fleet expansion around the world will drive what it calls an ‘exponential increase’ in demand for pilots and mechanics over the next 20 years. Boeing predicts a record need for an additional 533,000 airline pilots and 584,000 maintenance technicians to meet global aviation requirements.”

Upon successful completion of the course, students with 70 per cent or more will earn a recommendation to write the Transport Canada Private Pilot Licence – Aeroplane (PPAER) exam provided they have completed 10 hours of flight training.

This will also provide an additional two credits at UFV. Future plans include development of a work experience component in the aerospace industry.

Coastal Pacific is currently working with aviation industry partners to provide this opportunity to students in the Abbotsford school district.

Classes will be held at Coastal Pacific Aviation after school two nights per week (2.5 hours for each class) for a total of 20 weeks over a semester.

Charges will be made to Abbotsford’s transit system to address late and unreliable buses – starting in September – after council approved the plans last Monday.

The Central Fraser Valley Transit System, which covers Abbotsford and Mission, went through a service improvement review and found that a number of routes had issues arriving on time. The late buses caused disruptions for transit users and operators.

BC Transit proposed cost-neutral service changes to help buses arrive on time and reliably.

But each change may present challenges, such as some re-

A11

duction of service on certain routes that are not as utilized.

For example, there will be a reduction of the number of trips through Matsqui Village on the Mission-Abbotsford connector, as there is low ridership. There will be new bus stops on Highway 11 to increase access to the service from Matsqui Village.

The changes were based on feedback from the public.

The report says that unreliable service, such as late buses and missed transfers, can affect customers’ perception of the service and “potentially result in decreased ridership.”

This is phase one in changes to the system. Phase two includes comprehensive network revisions which will require significant resource re-allocation, additional resources or improved infrastructure.

ABBOTSFORD S CHO OL

D IS T R ICT

Grade 8 Abbotsford student.

Lane Spyksma, a student at Abbotsford Christian middle school, made the proposal to council last Monday.

Spyksma said this would take waste out of landfills, as well as reduce the cost to the city for shipping waste, while the funds could be used for other services.

S py k s m a said he used to live in Nanaimo, which has stricter rules than Abbotsford.

There, only one can of garbage is allowed each week, and Spyksma said it encourages people to recycle and consider the environment.

Barry Azevedo, the city’s solid waste engineering manager, said the number of bags was dropped from four to three in January 2013, when the new compost system was launched. He said it was part of the plan to drop the number to two, but staff wanted residents to get used to the new program first.

Coun. Patricia Ross thanked Spyksma for his presentation, saying she supported the idea. Staff will prepare a report for council.

Quilting award goes to Brewer

a watchdog over the powerful.

Sheila Reynolds Multimedia Journalist at The Surrey-North Delta Leader. Her award-winning court coverage of the Surrey Six mass murder trial gave victims a voice and provided insight into gang violence.

With a few keystrokes you can sample thousands of opinions, aľoat in a sea of information.

But as the volume increases, the accuracy and reliability of professional journalism is essential.

Gathering and sorting the facts, weighing and interpreting events, and following the story from beginning to end is more important than ever.

An Abbotsford woman won an award of excellence from a national quilting event.

Karen Brewer was presented with the “Excellence in Workmanship – Domestic Machine Quilting” for a project titled “Space Junk.”

She was selected for the award during the national juried show of the Canadian Quilters’ Association.

Brewer had to first submit her piece, which she completed entirely on her own using a domestic machine, for acceptance into the show and an opportunity to be judged for awards.

Brewer, who received a prize of $1,000, first started the quilt in 2008, but put it aside after having some challenges with the design.

She picked it up again in 2013, taking several more months to complete it.

$5,000 for art project Abbotsford resident Harrison Hemeon has won a $5,000 scholarship for an art project that will mix traditional art with new technology.

Hemeon was one of nine B.C. First Nations artists to be awarded scholarships from the YVR Art Foundation to further their creative excellence and commitment to develop their art.

The students were recognized at an awards reception held in late May at Vancouver International Airport.

“Sharing the rich cultural stories from B.C. First Nations is dependent on today’s young artists,” said YVR Art Foundation executive director Susan Jackson.

“The 2015 YVR Art Foundation Award recipients represent some of the best emerging First Nations artists in British Columbia. We are proud to help these young visionaries realize their creative potential and contribute to the success of a new generation of artists.”

The recipients are selected by a jury of three senior First Nations artists. Each recipient will receive a $5,000 scholarship to attend a formal art institution or study with a mentor over the course of one year.

The Youth Scholarship recipients will also be taken on a guided tour to visit Vancouver museums, galleries and art studios for a day.

Hemeon’s project will include creating traditional aboriginal prints, 3-D modeling in which he will create the digital Salish House Posts. His father, George Hemeon, will mentor him in different ways of printing, painting and carving in traditional Salish forms.

Use social media to raise money for Starfish Packs RBC contest supports Nick Taylor’s charity of choice

Community members can use social media to help Abbotsford golf pro Nick Taylor and his wife Andie raise money for a local charity, Starfish Packs.

The challenge is held by RBC and their Pro Golf team made up of 15 golfers, who each choose a charity to support through the #RBCGolf4Kids Challenge. Starfish Packs, which delivers weekend meals to more than 260 children in need during the school year, is the Taylor’s charity of choice.

The first part of the challenge is for all the golfers to reach 25,000 uses of the hashtag #RBCGolf4Kids on social media to unlock the first threshold ($100,000).

Each week will have engagement threshold that triggers increasing levels of donation from RBC, up to $300,000. The money will be split evenly between the charities.

The challenge ends July 20. To participate, follow @NTaylorGolf59, @AbbyFoodBank, @RBC on Twitter, or go to facebook.com/

AbbyFoodbank, facebook.com/rbc or instagram.com/abbotsfordfoodbank/.

Then, create content and Tweet, retweet, share, and comment using #RBCGolf4Kids and #Starfishpack at the Twitter handles mentioned.

On Facebook, mention @RBC and Nick Taylor’s support for @ AbbyFoodbank and #Starfishpack through #RBCGolf4Kids, or share existing content.

On Instagram, post a photo and use a caption, such as thanking RBC and Nick Taylor for supporting @AbbotsfordFoodBank and #Starfishpack through #RBCGolf4Kids.

Bonus challenges will help Taylor raise money individually for Starfish Pack. On Twitter, find the question Nick Taylor is asking (@NTaylorGolf59) and retweet it with your answer and the #RBCGolf4Kids.

Art at The Reach

The recently re-launched program Emerge for young artists hosts its second Art on Demand 1:2.

An opening reception for the cafe-style exhibition takes place Saturday, July 11 at 2 p.m. at The Reach Gallery Museum, 32388 Veterans Way. Admission is free.

The event is an afternoon of mingling, art dialogue and refreshments with emerging Fraser Valley artists Tanya Kaario and Ryan Cadarette.

This celebration will also kick off a new lecture series, The Upshot, an in-depth but casual talk with The Reach’s executive director and curator Laura Schneider.

In the premiere Some Stuff About Painting dialogue, Schneider will lead with the question, “How do we talk about painting today?”

She will discuss the current exhibitions at The Reach, address shifts in art historical discourse and confirm that painting is alive and well today.

Mirroring The Reach’s operational structure, the Emerge Art on Demand programs function as a membership-led “gallery within a gallery.”

Along with invitations to submit artwork to an annual exhibition, some of the Fraser Valley’s most promising emerging artists (ages 16 to 30) get to showcase new works curated by its own membership, at Art on Demand exhibitions.

Emerge members also have access to unique programs, workshops and studio/gallery tours.

They also have an opportunity to acquire valuable experience for their resume, learn professional artistic practices and hands-on skills, develop leadership skills and collaborate and dialogue with fellow artists, as well as professionals at The Reach.

Admission is free to Art on Demand 1:2 and the Some Stuff About Painting dialogue.

The Milkle-Down Effect.

It starts on the farm but it doesn’t end there.

Consuming Canadian dairy is a healthy choice in more ways than one. When you buy Canadian dairy products, the money you spend stays right here in Canada and the economic benefits trickle down to all Canadians. We call it the Milkle-Down Effect. Whether it’s sponsorship of youth sports, helping to pay for local infrastructure or helping to sustain 215,000 Canadian jobs.

GearBots and EcoDairy team up for robotics Children in the Fraser Valley will soon be able to tap into a global technology movement with new robotics courses coming this fall to EcoDairy.

The courses, to start in September, are the result of a partnership between Lower Mainland robotics education provider, GearBots, and EcoDairy.

The five-week programs are designed to ignite youths’ interest in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM) through hands-on sessions focusing on robotics, computer coding, electronic circuitry and 3D printing.

The after-school courses are open to children ages nine years and older and will run on Mondays, starting Sept. 14. Home-schooled students will have the opportunity to enrol in a daytime program starting Monday, Sept. 21.

Additional programs for more advanced students will also be offered at the University of the Fraser Valley’s Chilliwack trades campus with more details to be announced soon.

The two organizations will host a special launch event – entitled “the bitOlympics” – using littleBits technology at the EcoDairy on Saturday, July 11 at 9 a.m.

The two-hour workshop will see kids assigned an Olympic sport and be challenged to come up with an innovation to meet the needs of that sport. Cost is $10 per child, and space is limited.

To register for the bitOlympics or to find out more about GearBots courses at EcoDairy and the UFV Chilliwack Trades and Technology campus, visit ecodairy.ca.

Abbotsford athletes make national team Roster announcement comes ahead of women’s championship Brandon KOSTINUK Abbotsford News

Abbotsford athletes Taylor Lundrigan and Callum Pilgrim have been selected to play on the 2015 Canadian junior women’s national team (WNT) for softball.

Following a series of regional I.D. camps held in Cloverdale, Saskatoon, and Brampton, Ont., Lundrigan and Pilgrim were two of 17 named to the roster.

Lundrigan, a Yale Secondary graduate and LUNDRIGAN member of Simon Fraser University’s softball squad, said there were about 60 girls competing for a spot at the B.C. camp alone. From the three camps the numbers were whittled down to 27 for final selections. “I’m just so excited to be wearing the maple leaf,� Lundrigan said.

She typically plays second base

and shortstop though said she isn’t certain where she will be slotting into the current team — at the time she spoke with The News, the girls had just been together for a few days.

Lundrigan won a silver medal with the White Rock Renegades at the 2013 Canadian Midget Championship and a national championship in 2012 with the Delta Heat ‘96. She was also a member of the Team BC squad that won gold at the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games.

SFU coach, Mike Renney, describes Lundrigan as an allaround athlete.

Because her season with SFU ended at the start of April, Lundrigan said she did a lot of running and trained with a few other girls in preparation for the camp last month.

Pilgrim, on the other hand, took a different approach. “I didn’t want to do too much and burn out,� said Pilgrim, adding, “This is so surreal. I’m reContinued on A23

ally excited and honoured to be wearing a Canadian jersey with 16 other girls.”

The 18-year-old W.J. Mouat graduate recently accepted a scholarship to Lindsey Wilson College in Kentucky.

The softball program there is competitive, falling just short of a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics title last season, losing in the World Series championship to Auburn Montgomery.

Pilgrim, whose primary position is centrefield, said the PILGRIM team is gelling quite well despite just coming together last week – something made easier given nine of the girls who made it on the squad reside in B.C. “We play against each other so we’re already semi-familiar,” said Pilgrim.

The national team trains extensively, a regimen which includes classroom sessions for mental training.

According to Softball Canada, “athletes are expected to spend a minimum of 23 hours each week training in all areas of the game.”

This is in addition to the time already spent in competition.

In the area of general fitness, the minimum standards are demanding. Players must, for instance, be able to achieve 30 crunches in a minute, 25 push ups in a minute and be capable of planking for two-and-a-half minutes, to name just a few requirements.

Head coach Melissa Basilio said she and the coaching staff were “extremely pleased” with this year’s final selections.

“We have a well-rounded group of athletes

GET READY FOR SUMMER! STAY COOL & FRESH IS YOUR AC READY?

DID YOU KNOW?

Air and water can get into the A/C system which can reduce the efficiency of the system and can also lead to corrosion or fungus, mould and bacterial growth that is blown into the passenger area.

THIS IS WHAT WE CAN DO... To complete the HVAC service a

technician will clean out the air conditioning lines, evaporator and ventilator and then kill any bacteria mould or fungi. Then deodorize the entire A/C system and the vehicles interior. Finally, after a complete inspection for leaks and wear, the technician will measure and replenish the oil in the compressor.

The air inside your vehicle will be much cleaner and 4 to 5 degrees cooler, thanks to increased efficiency.

The Fraser Valley Venom show off their hardware after placing first in the B Division SUBMITTED at the U10 Mite Championship held at Squint Lake Park in Burnaby.

Venom take the gold at championships Brandon KOSTINUK Abbotsford News

The Fraser Valley Venom competed in the U10 Mite Championship at Squint Lake Park in Burnaby recently, winning gold in the B Division.

There were 20 teams from around the province competing in fastpitch play.

The Venom went 2-2 during round-robin competition, placing them second in the division.

They went on to secure wins over Coquitlam and Richmond in the playoffs, which landed them in the gold medal game against South

Surrey White Rock (SSWR).

In the final, the score remained tied 7-7 after six, leading to extra innings.

In the seventh, both teams were held scoreless.

The top of the eighth then saw SSWR notch four runs, but the Venom battled back, bringing home five in the bottom to push past their opponents, 12-11.

The girls also won first place in the team spirit competition.

The Venom squad was made up of Mite players from Abbotsford and Chilliwack’s minor fastball associations.

John and family settled on a farm in Rosedale, BC, where he developed a purebred herd of Holstein milk cows. When he retired, his son, John Walter, continued with the farm. In 1980, John lost his wife Anna to cancer - after 43 years of marriage.

MACDOUGALL Keith Francis May 8, 1955 ~ Glace Bay, NS July 3, 2015 ~ Calgary, AB

Keith MacDougall passed away on July 3, 2015 in Calgary after a short battle with cancer at the age of 60 years.

After graduating from high school, he embarked on a 27 year career with the Canadian Armed Forces, mainly as a flight engineer with the Air Force and had the good fortune to travel throughout the world. His final military posting was in Winnipeg where he continued his aircraft related career with Standard Aero. His final assignment with Standard Aero was in Abbotsford, BC, where he retired in 2013.

Keith enjoyed meeting and being in the company of friends and family where he was all too happy to apply his dry sense of humour. He was an advert reader, tinker of computers, consumer of copious amounts of coffee and to the dismay of his family, he enjoyed fast cars. Christmas and warm destination vacations were a favourite.

The oldest of five kids, Keith is survived by his brothers, Kevin (Claire) of Calgary and Terry (Heather) of Lloydminster; his sisters Sandra (Gerard) of Glace Bay and Debra (Pat) of Sydney, NS; and by nieces and nephews, Ian, Lindsey, Andrew and Adam MacDougall, and Tyler and Logan Shaw. He is also survived by numerous aunts and uncles.

Keith was predeceased by his parents, James and Sadie (nee MacKinnon) MacDougall of Glace Bay. There will be no funeral services held at this time, a celebration of life will be held at a later date in Abbotsford, BC and a family graveside service will be held in Cape Breton.

Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com In living memory of Keith MacDougall, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by:

Of Westminster Abbey, Mission, BC, died on July 2, 2015, aged 81. Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on Tuesday, July 7, at Westminster Abbey. Interment in the Abbey cemetery immediately followed the Mass with a Reception in the Majors’ Dining Room. Celebrant was Rt. Rev. John Braganza, OSB, Abbot. For more information call 604-826-8975.

SPENST Agnes Agnes Spenst of Abbotsford, BC went to be with the Lord on July 3, 2015 at the age of nearly 96 years. She was born on July 11, 1919 in Donskoj, Samara, Russia. Agnes came to Canada with her parents on December 16, 1925. They settled at Zenetta, Saskatchewan for 3 years. Her parents had their children in Saskatchewan and moved to Yarrow, BC in December 1928. She married Henry Spenst on July 13, 1963 at the Yarrow MB Church.

In 1988, they moved to the Clearbrook area. She enjoyed many years of good health in her own apartment close to church and town before moving to Menno Home where she resided until her passing.

Agnes was a loving caregiver who took in foster children for over 10 years, and was a practical nurse. She was predeceased by her parents Henry H. and Anna (Kroeker) Isaak. Also predeceased by her husband Henry Spenst in 1992, siblings John, Peter, Mary, James, Martha and nephew Paul in 1979. Survived by her brother Henry (Freda) Isaak, sister Annie (Jerry) Peterson, Henry Spenst’s children, relatives and friends. A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, July 9, 2015 at 11:00 am at Clearbrook MB Church, 2719 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford.

Online condolences to the family may be made at:

UPPER, Geraldine Verna (Austin) Left us at 90 years old on Thursday, June 4th, 2015 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital with her children by her side.

She was the widower of both Douglas Irwin Austin, 58 years of marriage, and Clarence (Cal) Francis Upper, 7 years of marriage.

Originally born Verna June Boyd in Saskatoon, SK in 1924 to Margaret Boyd, and adopted at birth to Rena Mavis.

Everyone called her Gerry, and although she always had a quiet and polite demeanor, she had an adventurous spirit that led her to live a full life.

She was always up to discover something new and she loved to travel whether it was to a summer home on Bowen Island, Chuck Wagon or Square Dance competitions around North America, winters in Arizona, or cruise ship destinations around the world.

She was very private, fiercely proud, and held an admirably strong will. A special thanks to her neighbours and friends at the Crown Point Villas II, where she lived independently until her passing. Gerry will be remembered as a gracious and graceful lady.

She is survived by her sons and spouses, Dennis and Denise Austin, Ray and Lynda Austin; daughter Faye Potter; and 9 grandchildren; and 8 great-grandchildren.

Her immediate family held a private celebration on June 13, 2015 upon her request and in her memory.

“Don’t dream your life, live your dreams.”

WIERDA Johanna Maria Mom passed away peacefully into the presence of her Lord and Saviour on Saturday, July 4, 2015 at the age of 95. She is survived by 6 children, Joe (Joyce), John (Diane), Harry (Betty), Greta (Stan), Andy (Sheila), Nellie (Dennis); 19 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Sjerp Wierda and her 7 siblings.

Mom was born in Friesland and immigrated to Canada in 1950 with her husband and 3 small children. They ran a dairy farm and 3 more children were born in Canada. They enjoyed visiting with their friends and a cup of tea was always offered to guests. After retirement they enjoyed travelling Canada in their motor home. She also enjoyed going on cruises with a friend. She often visited Holland to see her family there and was able to continue this till the age of 85. Then she moved to Elim Village in Surrey, BC. After a stroke, she returned to Abbotsford, BC to be cared for at the Menno Hospital. A Service of Remembrance will be held on Friday, July 10, 2015 at 1:00 pm at Trinity Christian Reformed Church, 3215 Trethewey St., Abbotsford. Pastor Rudy Ouwehand will be conducting the service.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Bethesda in her memory. Thank you to the staff at the Menno Hospital for their care of Mom, and to Elim Village for the care and friendship she enjoyed during her years there.
