Saturday’s weather wasn’t doing much to attract swimmers or sunbathers to the beach — but it was about perfect for the eleventh annual Harrison Dragon Boat Regatta.

Sixty-eight teams, each with 20 to 25 members, took over for the beach for most of the day, running through 48 races. Heats started near the public boat launch and ended near the front of the Harrison Hotel.

Regatta director and long-time president of the local Fraser Valley Dragon Boat Club, Scott Farrell said, “Most of us got really drenched on Friday, setting up for the races. We had about 25 to 30 volunteers helping.”

Saturday, the clouds sometimes looked threatening — but they held their load till Sunday’s big downpour.

Farrell praised the local volunteers who turned out to help on Saturday. Many are local citizens or friends of club members who simply want to help out, he said.

“We had 60 to 75 volunteers show up throughout the day,” said Farrell. “Most of them are nonpaddlers but they keep showing up year after year.

“Ann Phelps, who organizes the Rio Tinto event in Vancouver, says she’d like to take all of our volunteers with her for her event.”

Farrell said the extra hands made things run smoothly, including the clean up, with the First Agassiz Scout troop taking care of all the recycling.

“We raced from 8:30 to 5:18, so we were only three minutes behind schedule — and when it was over, all the members of the Fraser Valley club dropped everything to help out.

“By 7 o’clock, you wouldn’t even know we’d had an event there. Dragon boaters are a conscientious group,” he said.

Teams paid as much as $935 to take part, with a guarantee of four races. The first was a 200-meter sprint, followed by three 500-metre races.

Timing and refereeing were done by G2G Race Management of Vancouver, which supplied the race-timing clocks and cameras. To maintain consistency, twelve matching boats were rented from the Dragon Zone club of False Creek in Vancouver.

After the first two races your times are combined, then you’re placed with teams of like ability for the last two races,” explained Farrell, a Chilliwack resident.

Teams which practice out of the Harrisonbased FVDB club are two all-female teams, the Spitfires and Seraphins and four mixed teams: the Thunderstrokers, Pirates, the Spirit of the Fraser Valley junior team and the generic “Club Team” that brings together people who cannot commit to scheduled practices or competitions.

problem, it's a safety issue for cows.

"All that manure quickly adds up, increasing the risk of slips and falls, mastitis and lameness," the repot states.

"Accumulation of manure is also costly in terms of both bedding and labour costs."

Vaughan and her peers figured if they could come up with a different approach, building design could be more focused around cow comfort than waste disposal.

Benefits are many, says Vaughan.

"The cleaner your barn is, the healthier your cows are and, obviously, farmers like to have healthy cows," says Vaughan.

Also, it could make for happier cows which are generally goodproducing cows, she

adds. And for farmers, costs would go down for bedding as there would be no need to clean out the stalls as often. In fact, stalls would no longer be necessary.

To test out their theory, the research team made an experimental pen stall where they wanted the calves to urinate.

Each calf was given a diuretic and then a milk reward when they urinated. There were training days and test days, with a control group used for comparison.

Some calves caught on quickly, with one of the six trained calves requiring just one 15 minute training session, urinating every time she was placed in the stall for Continued on 5

wondering? But now it's got you thinking; just why would anyone potty train a cow?

It's calves actually, and researchers at the UBC Dairy Research Centre did the study to see if it was even possible to potty train them before delving further into the possibilities of what that could mean for a modern dairy barn.

"One of the main restrictions of dairy farm barn design is the removal of manure," explains Dr. Alison Vaughan, one of the researchers. "Buildings are designed around making sure we minimize the contact between the cow and her manure."

Car thieves drive crime rate back up

Presented by

#muckms

‘Seasoned’ bad guys find ways to elude police

Jeff Nagel

BLACK PRESS

Car thefts surged 29 per cent across B.C. last year – reversing a decade-long decline – and that was one of the drivers behind a significant increase in the overall crime rate in the Lower Mainland.

The crime rate was up eight per cent in 2014 in Metro Vancouver and seven per cent in the Abbotsford-Mission census metropolitan area, according to Statistics Canada.

In addition to auto theft, B.C. also saw increases in thefts under $5,000, break-andenters, and child pornography.

The property crimes and car thefts are often linked, according to Insp. Peter Jadis, officer in charge of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT).

“The people that we’re dealing with are seasoned criminals,” Jadis said.

“Usually when we do apprehend them there’s evidence of other crimes being committed – identify theft, fraud, drug dealing – and they’re using the vehicles for transportation and to facilitate these different crimes.”

Jadis said Canada Post’s investigators believe many mail box break-ins are done via stolen cars, which are often found with stolen mail inside.

“Usually when we do apprehend them there’s evidence of other crimes being committed” Peter Jadis, Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team He said the perpetrators are often better organized than would appear from Bait Car videos of the past depicting unhinged thieves just prior to arrest.

“They’ll hit mailboxes multiple times and build profiles,” Jadis said of identity thieves.

“Your mail will be stolen for a few weeks and then a year down the road all of a sudden there’s a new identity that someone’s using and people see their credit ratings have gone through the floor.”

Last year’s spike in car thefts followed a decline from 2003 to 2013 due to a combination of better car security technology, intelligence-led policing, the tracking of prolific criminals and the use of the Bait Car program to catch thieves in the act.

The recent resurgence of the problem has continued this year, with a 40 per cent increase in arrests so far for theft of or

theft from vehicles, Jadis said.

Part of the problem is that criminals have been adjusting their tactics to thwart police, often ditching stolen vehicles faster.

“We’re seeing offenders rotating the vehicle a bit more.

In the past they’d keep them 10 to 14 days, but we’re seeing some of them now rotating the vehicles every three or four days.”

Thieves are increasingly stealing cars by first stealing their keys.

Keys can disappear from your clothes in a locker at a gym or rec centre, or from inside your house, Jadis said.

Often, he said, a thief will break into a vehicle that has a garage door opener, use it to get into the home, then search for a spare pair of car keys, along with anything else that can be stolen.

Or, if the car is stolen elsewhere, they can use the insurance papers to get the

address and use the garage door opener to enter and loot the home.

Jadis said IMPACT officers are developing a new model to strategically target suspects known to them who are likely to be involved in auto crime.

Another lesser known weapon in the policing arsenal against car thieves is the automated licence plate detection systems B.C. RCMP have mounted in some police cars in the Lower Mainland.

They scan the licence plates of passing cars at a rapid rate against a database and can quickly detect one that’s been reported stolen.

Jadis said it’s an “excellent tool.”

But even that method is not foolproof.

Thieves who steal a vehicle often then look for a similar vehicle and switch licence plates with it, he said.

The unsuspecting driver whose plate has been pilfered doesn’t always spot the change because “you don’t always look at your licence plate.”

Meanwhile, the crook roams the roads undetected.

But if police cameras scan the unsuspecting driver, whose car now bears the plate of a stolen car, he’s in for a big surprise – IMPACT officers will soon be closing in to make an arrest.

Violent crime down in B.C.

While car thefts and other property crime climbed in 2014, violent crime fell eight per cent in B.C., according to new national statistics.

That was despite 88 homicides across the province, a 15 per cent increase.

The overall B.C. crime rate was little changed, up one per

cent.

Thefts under $5,000 were up eight per cent, fraud was up 11 per cent, and property crime of all types rose seven per cent.

Drug violations were down 9.7 per cent and charges for marijuana production or trafficking plunged 45 per cent.

The measurement also includes traffic offences and federal violations not included in the crime rate.

Metro Vancouver area had a crime severity index of 96.7 – the worst in B.C. and much higher than

the national average of 66.7.

Only two cities had a higher ranking of crime severity – Regina at 102.8 and Saskatoon at 109.7.

The crime severity index was 87.9 in Kelowna, 84.4 in Abb otsford-Mission and 62.8 in Victoria.

Playing the links for PTSD Shining a light on post traumatic stress disorder

Lorene Keitch THE OBSERVER

Organizers are hoping an upcoming golf tournament will raise awareness about post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in first responders.

Money raised from the First Responder PTSD Awareness Charity Golf Tournament will be donated to the TEMA Center Memorial trust.

Tema, a Canadian organization often referred to as 'Heroes Are Human', was established to offer resources and support to emergency services and military personnel.

Through research, education, training and provision of peer and psychological support, Team aims to help these men and women when they need it most.

The funds will be donated in honour of Ernie Dombrowski, a Surrey firefighter who lost his long battle with PTSD and depression earlier this year, at the age of 44.

Pam Schuetze, one of the event organizers, says there have been a lot of recent situations with police officers and firefighters committing suicide, or admitting to coping with depression and PTSD. "It's a wound, just like any other physical wound that you can

Ernie Dombrowski

have. It's just that it's not a visible wound," says Schuetze, adding that the message is getting out there to speak up.

"More and more people are willing to admit they're suffering," she comments.

When Schuetze started her career 23 years ago with Corrections Canada, she was trained physically, but not given formal mental training on how to cope with the unique stresses of

the job. Schuetze says she is lucky to have not gone through any major incidents that caused her PTSD and says you just never know what you're walking into on the job that day which can be very stressful.

Schuetze shares that for Dombrowski, who used to work with her in Corrections, becoming a firefighter was his "dream job." But for him and many others, the pressures of the job and what they see and

experience as part of their jobs takes a toll on first responders.

According to the Tema Centre Memorial Trust, the prevalence of PTSD within Emergency Services is 16 to 24 per cent, compared to the general Canadian population of 8 per cent.

As of May 8, 2015, 18 first responders and five military members have died by suicide this year, according to Tema.

While the spots for players are full at the upcoming golf tournament, organizers are looking for help from businesses for prizes and sponsorships. For $150, you can sponsor a hole, which includes your business name on a sign along with a fact about PTSD. For prizes, they are looking for gift certificates for restaurants, goods to give away to the golfers etc.

The tournament takes place Friday, September 11 at the Falls Golf and Country Club.

For any questions, if want to volunteer, or if you know someone that can sponsor the event in some way you can contact any of the hosts via Facebook messenger, or via email to Pam at pschuetze@ me.com, Dylan at dylancrooks@shaw.ca or Rob at coachrob363@ hotmail.com.

the 16 test days after her training day.

"The fact they could learn so fast did surprise us," says Vaughan. "I did believe they would be able to learn it, but it was quite astonishing they could pick it up so fast."

The report concludes with the fact that they do not expect producers to train their calves and cows manually. They are now working with UBC's physics department to come up with an automated system that would be "no extra work for the farmer but with all the benefits."

If they could automate the process, Vaughan says it would enable training to take place over time instead of only one training session per day per test cow. The process is complex but Vaughan is optimistic.

"There's a whole series of steps, but each step is a step closer. I think it's something that is actually feasible," she concludes.

Selfish drivers

Opinion

Published by Black Press Limited. 7167 Pioneer Ave., Agassiz BC V0M 1A0

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Are distracted driving penalties stiff enough?

The public is demanding stiffer penalties for drivers who text or talk on cellphones while behind the wheel.

If B.C. residents who responded to a poll have their way, the current $167 fine (the second-lowest in Canada) and three penalty points, currently levied against distracted drivers could see a big boost.

Other provinces have done far more to try to curb the practice. In Saskatchewan, repeat offenders can see their vehicles impounded, while in Ontario, distracted drivers face a potential $1,000 ticket.

Whether that’s led to better results than B.C.’s — where 88 people died last year as a direct result of distracted driving — we can’t say. But it might be worth a try.

We’re all for anything that makes people stop and think before they do something that puts their own and others’ lives needlessly in danger. But at the risk of sounding defeatist, we’re not convinced it will help.

The problem is, you can’t legislate a social conscience.

There are always going to be people who will put their own immediate needs ahead of what is best for the group, whenever the latter doesn’t suit them.

There will always be people who will water their lawns and wash their cars during a drought; people who would rather flick a cigarette butt out a window than dirty their vehicle’s ashtray; people who prefer to let their dog leave a gift for a hapless pedestrian than pick up after their pet.

And there will always be people who will be more concerned about sending that “crucial” text or taking an “urgent” call than they are about getting caught, never mind hurting someone.

We call those people selfish.

The problem is, being self-centred is a lifestyle. It’s not a mindset that was created overnight and it’s not one that can be remedied quickly.

The only long-term solution we see is education, with the focus placed on an upcoming generation of drivers, to help them develop safer habits from the outset.

It’s a painfully slow process, we know, but it’s worked in the past — with seatbelt and helmet use, for example.

But while we’re looking to the future, that’s not to say we shouldn’t make breaking the rules sting a little bit more in the present, as well.

Free trade in milk, eggs, even logs?

B.C. VIEWS

Tom Fletcher Victoria – One of the rituals of life in southern B.C. communities is cross-border shopping for certain items.

Even corner store owners are known to pop down to Washington border towns to load up a van with U.S. milk, taking advantage of a price difference generated by our “supply management” system.

The recent slide in the Canadian dollar reduces this pressure in the short term, but the fact remains that dairy producers are propped up in Canada. And that’s increasingly a problem as Canada pursues entry into the Trans Pacific Partnership, the next big trade deal. With the U.S., Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries involved, it would form the largest trading bloc in the world.

Canada uses tariffs of up to 300

per cent to protect its dairy and poultry industries from foreign imports, and the higher domestic price on milk and eggs is a burden that falls most heavily on poor people.

The industry group Dairy Farmers of Canada and others argue that reducing or removing Canada’s import protection won’t change the huge farm subsidies paid by European and U.S. governments. The recent trade agreement between Canada and the European Union has already chipped away at this protection.

The Conservative government is tiptoeing on this issue as a fall election approaches, with rural seats across the country at stake.

But the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand have deregulated their dairy industries and the Canadian industry is already facing increased cheese imports due to the European Union agreement.

It’s an issue to watch as the federal election heats up. The NDP has positioned itself as a

Korean import vehicles, and life goes on.

Another controlled and protected commodity that is seldom discussed is logs. That’s changed with the push for the Trans Pacific Partnership, as Japan protests federal and provincial restrictions that push up the cost of logs for export.

Ottawa regulates the export of private land logs, but only in B.C. This is a long-standing irritant for private land owners, holding the domestic price for premium “J grade” Douglas fir logs below $80 per cubic metre while the price in Asia and Washington state has climbed above $100.

The U.S. has long complained about B.C.’s cheap Crown land stumpage and low domestic log prices in general, viewing them as a subsidy to lumber production.

The coastal industry has maintained that profits from log exports are keeping logging alive, paying for the harvest and processing of logs in B.C. With Pacific trade talks in the background, pushed hard by U.S. President Barack Obama, the latest Canada-U.S. lumber agreement is due to expire in October. It will be more difficult to defend what University of Alberta economist Jack Mintz calls a “Soviet-style approach to price determination.”

B.C. used to do something similar to this with wine, protecting a backward industry cranking out mostly god-awful plonk. Competition made the wine industry better, and now it’s world class.

Petition calls for ‘fair price’ for Canada’s ground water

Re Tom Fletcher’s “Latest Nestle protest doesn’t hold water” (Agassiz Harrison Observer, 23 July 2015).

Mr Fletcher pulls no punches, calling the SumOfUs/ WaterWealth petition nonsense in the opening paragraph of his piece. Fortunately none of Fletcher’s punches land, being aimed at places the petition never stood.

As a representative of WaterWealth I sincerely apologize to Mr Fletcher if he took the words “suck BC dry” literally and mistook the opening comment for the whole conversation.

We had not anticipated that, and feedback we have received indicates that the public went well beyond that opening comment to understand the broader issues that the petition was about--primary among them being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficiently funded to be fully implemented.

The review of rental rates under the Act, that the petition sought and that the province promised even before the petition was delivered, is but one more step in the on-going work to ensure that the public’s voice is heard in development of

strong regulations for the Water Sustainability Act, the first major update of BC water law in over a century.

Perhaps Mr Fletcher overlooked that the petition text was “Charge a fair price for Canada’s groundwater! Commit now to review the water rates!”

Those rates, ranging from $0.02 to $2.25, apply to some 80 categories of water use. None of those 80 categories of use can be satisfied with either tap water or a jug from the fridge.

Ian Stephen, Campaign Director WaterWealth Project

Canada’s reputation in danger

In 1969, then Conservative Prime Minster Lester Pearson proposed to the world’s donor nations that we donate 0.7% of our gross national income to overseas development assistance. In 1970, the UN ratified it and several nations in the world do more than

that: Some are up to a full per cent. Lester Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work.

The rest of the world is serious about eliminating extreme poverty and this year, as the Millennium Development Goals expire, they are working

on the Sustainable Development Goals, with the target of eliminating extreme poverty by 2030.

Meanwhile, back in Canada, Stephen Harper has dragged us down to a humiliating 0.24%, woefully behind other, less wealthy nations.

Canadians

Steep price to pay

What’s the problem with Nestle not paying for water? How about beer, wine, soda, a cup of coffee or tea? There’s no difference, they all profit from selling water only Nestle doesn’t add anything to it. As others have said; charging for water makes it a commodity which, under NAFTA, could then be shipped by Nestle to the

USA & Mexico. Who really began this protest against but really for Nestle?

Nestle wants to buy and sell our water, but once a price is established and they pay more we may eventually pay more too.....bottled or not!

Unique Ways To ShopLOCAL: Locally BUYING

Shopping locally is a great way to benefit your community and, in many instances, your bottom line. When consumers shop locally, they help stimulate their local economies, creating jobs for their neighbors by helping local businesses grow and thrive. Shopping locally also saves shoppers long trips to the mall that can waste expensive fuel, especially if consumers don’t find what they’re looking for.

Shopping locally is especially important when the economy is struggling, as smaller businesses are not always as capable of bearing the brunt of a recession as larger ones. The following are a handful of unique ways men and women can shop locally.

Country night is coming up at Pioneer Park Twilight Concert Series

Steve Hillis performs at Agassiz Twilight Concert Series from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in Pioneer Park on Thursday, August 6.

Hillis has been playing music all his life, and has been making a living doing so since he graduated high school and started touring in the 80s.

“It’s a teenage hobby that never really ended,” Hillis says, as he returns home to Chilliwack after a twoweek tour in Alberta.

Hillis has performed all over Western Canada, regularly putting on shows in Lower

Echoes From The Past: July 18, 1951 Bridge construction held up by steel price increases Although construction of the Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge was scheduled to start prior to July 15th according to a spokesman of the Cheam Bridge Company, there are no signs of any activity to date.

Finance and steel supplies are the two headaches that the company has had to try to solve. Latest are reports were that the company was not even remotely worried about the steel supply, and that rising costs to $1,650. The increase in steel costs and the hike of one-half per cent in the cost of financing had materially changed the original estimates.

New Arrangements for Bridge Financing Underway As the Cheam Bridge Company failed to file a financial program by July 15, 1951, exclusive rights were lost to the company, and the government will now consider proposals by any responsible group. Interest in the construction of the bridge is still very much alive, however, all financial arrangements with an American Financial Company have fallen through because of possible restrictions due to the present war situation. United Distillers Ltd. Owners of the Harrison Hot Springs Hotel are quoted as being prepared to subscribe up to $750,000.00 in debentures and common stock with second mortgage rights towards the cost of constructing the AgassizRosedale Bridge. It is estimated on the basis of present ferry traffic and current toll charges, the annual gross earnings of the bridge would be about $150,000.00 for the first year and increasing thereafter.

Mainland venues.

In such a competitive industry, Hillis explains, “you can’t let it get old and stale, you have to keep reinventing yourself.”

To stay fresh, Hillis is learning new music all the time, and consistently expanding the types of performances and venues that he books.

Hillis can easily adapt to a “scaled-down” performance of classic

Next Thursday, August 6, Steve Hillis will be performing at Agassiz Twilight Concert Series at Pioneer Park. The theme of the night is country music, which Hillis has been perfecting for many years.

Hillis will spend the first half of his stage time performing his Garth Brooks tribute, ‘Basically Brooks’. He has performed the tribute all over North America and has spent years refining Brooks’ voice, nuances and mannerisms.

For the latter half of the evening, Hillis will “keep it rolling with other country materials,” he says. Some old classics, some new, plenty of 90s, and any requests from country fans in the crowd.

While the upcoming Pioneer Park event is country-focused, Hillis is a versatile musician who also books gigs for rock, R&B, and easy listening audiences.

Aquanauts ready for regionals

Twenty-three swimmers from Agassiz Harrison Aquanauts attended the Abbotsford swim meet this weekend. Even though summer is only half over this is the last swim meet before the Regional Championships which will occur in two weeks in Abbotsford. Local coaches are pushing the swimmers hard in the lead up to Regionals.

This meet came midway through a training cycle that saw some swimmers daily swimming up to 5 km of training in the pool.

Summer club swimmers qualify for Provincials by being in the top 3 of each event at Regionals. So there is no saving up a good swim as a way to qualify; having a top 3 swim in your age category on the day at Regionals is the only way to make it to the provincial championships in Victoria in later August.

The weather added to the competition drama this weekend: rain, wind, sun and even a 25 minute delay while a lightning storm kept everyone out of the pool. Freestyle

is a fast event , without much time for breathing. Jaydin Lees, Randolph McInroy came third and Nashon Douglas came first. If they do this again at regionals they will be off to provincials. Anton Stoeckly and Amarri Reynen were close behind in 4th. Hebrina McInroy came 5th and Taylor Lees came 8th. Strategy changes a bit when you go the slightly longer 100 free. AHA swimmers did great in this event with 3 swimmers (Randolph, Jaydin and Nashon) coming in 2nd. Amarri came 3rd, Taylor and Nicola (James) came 5th and Anton came 7th.

Butterfly can be a very dramatic swim to watch especially in the highest division. Timing is everything and it can take awhile to master going fast without running out of energy. Nashon and Sydney (one of our coaches) had a great first place finishes in 50 fly. Bentley McMullin came 3rd. Dana Stoeckly and Taylor came so close to the coveted top 3 with respectable 4th place finishes. Hebrina came 6th,

Nicola came 7th and Brooklyn McMullin came 8th.

Breast and backstroke can calmer events at times, especially breaststroke which can look smooth and effortless. Randolph had another 1st place finish in his 50 breast. Several swimmers entered the 100 breast and did very well.

Jaydin came in 2nd and Hebrina came in 3rd. Anton and Justine Stoeckly came in 4th, Taylor came 5th and Katelyn Gafka came 6th.

In back stroke, Jordan Torok and Jaydin came 2nd in 100 back, Dana came 4th and Amarri came 6th in 50 back.

When you put all 4 strokes together it is known as the individual medley. Randolph came 3rd in his 100 IM and Anton came 5th in 200 IM. Randolf and Jaydin came in the top 3 for all 4 of their events. Nashon was not far behind with 3 top 3 finishes. Dana and Anton are not far behind with 2 4th place finishes.

Also Nicola James had an impressive 5 new best times in Abbotsford.

Club vice-president, Dale Kjemhus of Hope, said the Club Team did surprisingly well on the weekend, finishing sixth in the “A” final for eighteenth overall out of 68 mixed teams.

Kjemhus (pronounced “SHAY-mus”) paddled for the club’s Thunder Strokers team, which took silver in the “A” final,

giving them the club’s top finish in the last two years at Harrison.

In both the women’s and mixed divisions, the top teams were elevated to the competitive heats, which the ‘Strokers missed by a few strokes.

The Seraphins include five paddlers from the Agassiz-Harrison area and they had the best finish of the local women, taking Silver in the “B”

Seraphins’ coach, Trish Kjemhus said, “It was a really strong finish for them. We had some new paddlers who hadn’t raced 500 metres before, so this gave them the confidence that they’re able to compete.

Before you begin searching for a home, it’s always helpful to think about your needs both now and in the future.

And if you have any questions about the home-buying process or different types of real estate, you can always ask your mortgage professional or real estate agent for input.

Following are some things to consider when you’re deciding which type of home to buy: • Location. Do you want to live in a city, town or in the countryside?

How long will your work commute be?

Where will your BARB TEN BOS children attend Mortgage school and how will they get there? Minute Are you close to amenities?

• Size requirements. Do you need several bedrooms, more than one bathroom, space for a home office, a two-car garage?

• Special features. Do you want air conditioning, storage or hobby space, a fireplace, a swimming pool? Do you have family members with special needs? Do you want special features to save energy, enhance indoor air quality and reduce environmental impact?

• Lifestyles and stages. Do you plan to have children? Do you have teenagers who will be moving away soon? Are you close to retirement? Will you need a home that can accommodate different stages of life?

When thinking about your ideal home, the first thing you should consider is whether you want a previously owned home (often called a resale) or a new home. Here are some characteristics that may help you decide:

• Complete collision & glass services • Courtesy Vehicles • Express repair facility - all insurance company estimates written here

• Modern design. A new home has an up-to-date design that takes into account the latest trends, materials and features.

• Personalized choices. You may be able to upgrade or choose certain items such as siding, flooring, cabinets, plumbing and electrical fixtures.

• Up-to-date with the latest codes/ standards. The latest building codes, electrical and energy-efficiency standards will be applied.

• Maintenance costs. Maintenance costs will be lower because everything is new and many items are covered by a warranty. You should still set aside money every year for future maintenance costs.

• Builder warranty. This is a warranty that may be provided by the builder of the home. Be sure to check all the conditions of the warranty. A homebuilder’s warranty can be important if a major system such as plumbing or heating

breaks down.

• Neighbourhood amenities. Schools, shopping malls and other services may not be complete for years.

• Extra costs. You may have to pay extra if you want to add a fireplace, plant trees and sod or pave your driveway. Make sure you know exactly what’s included in the price of your home.

Resale Home

• You can see what you are buying. Easy access to services. Probably established in a neighbourhood with schools, shopping malls and other services.

• Landscaping is usually complete and fencing already installed. Previously owned homes may have extras like fireplaces, finished basements or swimming pools.

• No GST. You don’t have to pay the GST unless the house has been substantially renovated, and then the taxes are applied as if it were a new house.

• Possible redecorating and renovations.

You may need to redecorate, renovate or do major repairs such as replacing the roof, windows and doors.

Deciding Which Type of Home to Buy

There are many types of homes to choose from and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Think about your needs before making a decision, and don’t forget to look beyond the interior walls. The environment surrounding your home can be as important as the environment within.

Following are some different types of homes from which to choose: • Single-Family Detached – A home containing one dwelling unit that stands alone and sits on its own lot, thereby offering a greater degree of privacy.

• Semi-Detached – A single-family home that is joined to another one by a common wall. It can offer many of the advantages of a single-family detached home and is usually less expensive to buy and maintain.

• Row House or Townhouse – Many similar single-family homes, side-byside, separated by common walls. They can be freehold, condominiums or rental units. They offer less privacy than a single-family detached home but still provide a separate outdoor space. These homes can cost less to buy and maintain – but they can also be large, luxury units.

• Link or Carriage Home – Houses joined by garages or carports, which provide access to the front and back yards.

• Condominiums or Stratas – A condo or strata is a form of ownership, not a type of construction. They can be highrise residential buildings, townhouse complexes, individual houses and lowrise residential buildings.

RATHMANN, Kurt

Nov. 15, 1934 - July 11, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kurt Rathmann on July 11, 2015 at the age of 80. Kurt was very proud of his family & is survived by his children, Stefan (Kerry) & Julia (Cameron); grandchildren, Cody (Miranda), Taylor (Ben), Makenna, Kyla, & Gavin; & greatgranddaughter Chandler; & former wife & lifelong friend, Irmtraud. Kurt was born in the small German town of Bansleben. His formative years were spent in the midst of war, & he had many interesting stories from this period.

After the war, he worked in his family’s bakery while attending school. He became a design engineer & moved to Burlington, Ontario in 1965 with his wife & newborn son. Although Kurt & his wife intended to come to Canada for a few years as a work adventure with some friends, BC became their final stop in 1972 & Kurt proudly became a Canadian citizen in 1978. Kurt enjoyed the outdoors, hiking, fishing, camping & canoeing. He moved to Agassiz as he neared retirement & made many friends. He kept busy playing cards, darts, bowling, golfing, riding his bike around town & was a member of the Legion. We will miss his gift of storytelling & his humour. The family would like to thank all of his close friends for their support & help as well as the lovely nurses at the Cascade Hospice. We invite all his friends to share their favourite stories & tip a glass in recognition of his life on Sunday, Aug. 16th at 1pm at the Royal Canadian Legion in Agassiz.
