Inquest into deaths Tyler OLSEN

Stolen truck held family’s belongings Thieves drive off with U.S. travellers’ U-Haul

Abbotsford News

The deaths of three mental health patients shortly after leaving Abbotsford Regional Hospital will be the subject of an inquest, the BC Coroners Service announced this week.

Coroner Liana Wright and a jury will hear evidence about the deaths of three people in the last eight months, including two who died on the same day.

On Dec. 28, 2014, Brian David Geisheimer, 30, most recently of Maple Ridge, died in Mission.

Family members have reported that he committed suicide shortly after walking away from Abbotsford Regional Hospital.

On April 26, 19-year-old Sebastien Pavit Abdi and Sarah Louise Charles, 41, died after leaving hospital. Abdi passed away at the family home in Abbotsford, while Charles died near her Abbotsford apartment building, according to the Coroners Service.

They too had been admitted patients at Abbotsford Regional Hospital for mental health issues within a few days of their deaths.

No other details about the deaths were released.

The inquest will begin May 16 next year in Burnaby with Wright and a jury hearing evidence from witnesses to determine the facts surrounding the deaths.

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Anna Spencer and her five children had stopped in Abbotsford overnight as part of a journey from their home in Georgia to their new residence in Fairbanks, Alaska.

They were travelling to join husband and dad Ronald, an army

man who had been stationed in Alaska and had been living there since May. Prior to leaving the four-bedroom Georgia home where they had resided for seven years, the family loaded everything they owned into a 26-foot GMC U-Haul truck.

This included all their furniture

and other essentials that had filled their home, but also some irreplaceable items, such as several boxes of family photos; keepsakes that had belonged to Anna’s dad, who died 15 years ago; and military gear (no weapons) that Ronald had saved over his 15 Continued on A7

Pharmacy robbed on Clearbrook Road An Abbotsford pharmacy was robbed by two men on Tuesday afternoon.

The incident took place at 1:15 p.m., when the pair entered the location in the 2600 block of Clearbrook Road.

Const. Ian MacDonald said the men had their faces covered, and were wearing dark clothing and carrying duffel bags.

One of the men was carrying a large can of bear/pepper spray and suggested he also had a gun.

The pair demanded cash and narcotics, and then left on foot.

Both men are described as Caucasian with thin builds. One of the suspects was 5’ 6” and the other was 5’ 10”.

The major crime unit of the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) is investigating.

Anyone with information is asked to call the APD at 604859-5225, text abbypd (222973) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

We went to Magnuson because of John MacMuilin. John has gone above and beyond on every vehicle we have purchased since 2002. If I have a problem, I go to John and within moments it’s fixed.

Your service department is great.

Chris and Brad are a credit to your company.

I am very happy with the service we receive from John and the service department. John should get a raise for the way he cares for his “family” as he calls us.

I had my F150 serviced and have never been treated so good at any other service department.

FARM EQUIPMENT CONVOY

www.abbynews.com

New Patients Welcome!

A convoy of farm vehicles rolled across Sumas Prairie Thursday morning as Pacific Coast Equipment moved its inventory from its Sumas Way TYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News location, which is closing, to its new property on Progress Way in Chilliwack.

Possessions worth about $100,000 From A1

years in the service.

The Spencers – including the five kids, ages 10 to 27 – left Georgia on July 24 in the U-Haul and a van.

They stayed at hotels along the way, without any problems.

But that changed early Monday morning, while they were staying at the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre in Abbotsford.

The family checked in on Sunday night, but when they left at 11 a.m. the following day, the U-Haul was gone.

Anna, in shock and in tears, reported back to

the front desk, and police were called.

Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald confirms that the U-Haul, loaded with about $100,000 in belongings, was stolen, and the theft was captured on video by the hotel’s security system.

Anna said the incident has been devastating.

“That is somebody’s life in there (in the U-Haul). It didn’t take overnight to gain all of this. It took a lifetime to build what we had.”

MacDonald said it appears that a vehicle pulled up beside the truck at 3:22 a.m. on

Monday (Aug. 17), and at 3:46 a.m., the U-Haul was driven away.

MacDonald said the video is too dark and grainy to get any vehicle or suspect descriptions, but police believe at least two people were involved. They likely arrived in one car, allowing one person to drive away the U-Haul while the other drove the vehicle they arrived in.

The stolen U-Haul was recovered in Surrey early Wednesday morning, and MacDonald said it appears numerous items are missing. There was significant damage to the truck’s ignition,

he added.

Police have since reached the Spencers, who had continued on their journey Tuesday afternoon in their van.

Their only belongings were the duffel bags they had each packed with a few changes of clothes and some personal items.

The family is now back in the Lower Mainland and, once police complete gathering evidence from the U-Haul, they will be able to review the contents to see what the thieves left behind.

M e a n w h i l e , MacDonald said a charitable organization is

covering the family’s accommodation expenses, and there has been a “huge outpouring” of support from the public with offers of cash and material donations.

MacDonald said anyone interested in helping is asked to email him at imacdonald@ abbypd.ca and he will provide details on how to do so.

Anyone with information about the theft is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604859-5225, text abbypd (222973) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Six-year sentence for coach Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A former gymnastics coach who sexually assaulted nine young boys has been sentenced to six years in prison.

John William Henry, 33, of Abbotsford was sentenced Tuesday afternoon in Surrey provincial court after previously pleading guilty to nine counts of sexual assault and one count of possession of child pornography.

Henry, who has been in prison since his arrest in March 2014, was given

credit for almost 26 months in custody, leaving him to serve another three years and 10 months.

At the time of his arrest, Henry was a coach with the Langley Gymnastics Foundation, where he had worked for four years.

At his sentencing hearing on Friday, the court heard that the assaults took place over a nine-month period starting in mid-2013 and involved mainly boys aged eight or nine.

The offences involved Henry touching the boys on their genitals, outside of

their pants, while assisting them with gymnastic maneuvers or while serving as a chaperon/counsellor at summer camp.

Other incidents involved Henry exposing himself to the victims; kissing their hands, arms or lips; or looking at their genitals while they were sleeping.

In one case, Henry briefly performed oral sex on one of the boys.

Both the Crown and defence lawyers had recommended to the judge that Henry receive a six-year jail sentence.

With more time, will voters care?

Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views Several readers took me to task for last week’s commentary on the beginning of our long, hot federal election campaign.

They pointed out, among other things, that there are substantial cost increases to Elections Canada as well as higher spending limits for the parties. And thanks to generous tax deductions for political donations, taxpayers subsidize all party spending whether they want to or not.

That’s the system as it is today, so rather than rail against it, it seems more useful to ask what we’re getting for our forced investment in this exercise.

First, more leader debates. The traditional main event organized by TV networks for Oct. 8 appears to be a bust, with only Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and Green Party leader Elizabeth May expected to attend.

Conservative leader Stephen Harper de-

clined, prompting NDP leader Thomas Mulcair to say he will only take part in debates that include Harper.

Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have agreed to a Sept. 17 debate hosted by The Globe and Mail and Google Canada. This one is to be focused on the economy, which should force participants to get beyond their talking points and pointing fingers.

On Sept. 28 there will be a debate focused on foreign policy hosted by Munk Debates, a charitable foundation. Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have accepted. May and Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe were not invited to either of these.

The national media have decided that the biggest issue currently is the trial of suspended Senator Mike Duffy, but this has turned out to be a rehash of facts and assertions heard many times over by those who care.

The expense account abuse has pushed the issue of senate reform to the forefront.

Harper declared his intention to starve the Senate by refusing any more appointments, after most provinces ignored his call to elect their nominees.

Trudeau, having expelled all Liberal senators from the party caucus, has warned that

Harper’s plan and Mulcair’s long-standing position to abolish the Senate are both unworkable, if not unconstitutional.

Trudeau has promised changes to the senate appointment process, but no specifics so far.

Party policies are being doled out one bit at a time, and the national and local candidate debates may help clarify them. Here are a

The national media have decided that the biggest issue currently is the trial of suspended senator Mike Duffy. couple that could use closer scrutiny.

Harper has promised to revive a stimulus program from the 2009 economic crisis, offering a 15 per cent tax credit for home improvements between $1,000 and $5,000.

This sounds great if you’re a homeowner, but does nothing for renters, drives up the cost of housing in already overpriced urban

markets and encourages more consumer debt.

Trudeau has promised an additional $2.6 billion over four years for First Nations education on reserves, and accelerated spending on school infrastructure.

Mulcair has promised to hold a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women.

Mulcair and Trudeau both pledge to reverse the Conservative moves to eliminate what’s left of door-to-door mail delivery, and to extend the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pension from 65 to 67.

All of these promises are presented in the most appealing way possible by the parties that promote them, and all involve spending and taxation trade-offs that the parties would prefer not to discuss.

Another possible dividend from a formal campaign stretching more than two months is that more voters will pay attention to the real issues and actually take the time to cast a ballot. If that happens, and the long decline in voter turnout is reversed, it’s a good investment. tfletcher@blackpress.ca 34375 Gladys Ave., Abbotsford, B.C. V2S 2H5

Build new water pipeline to Stave Lake ers if needed, to get this water pipeline built. I have been collecting my shower water and using it to sparingly water the

weakest plants. The bit of soap does not seem to affect them.

Stop worrying about garbage collection, and

This heat is not going away. Seems the bad decision to not put in a pipeline to Stave Lake for additional water has come to haunt us.

We had better get cracking and build that pipe! The long-range weather forecast says warm winter and another hot summer.

This city will be destroyed if we do not get a reliable water source fast. It is not just the grass, but hedges, trees, shrubs etc. are being killed off.

Imagine what another year of this heat will do.

People cannot wash the outside of their homes, their cars, driveways, have pools for their kids, sprinklers, etc. Our properties are going down in value, and any buyers that take a tour of the burned-out Abby, with all the water restrictions, won’t want to move here, and all those new homes being built will remain empty, less taxes.

YOU and the LAW TWO ACCIDENTS, BUT ONLY ONE LAWSUIT

Say you’re injured in a car accident that’s not your fault. Then before you’re fully recovered, you you’re hurt again in another accident, where you’re also not to blame. Do you have to sue both defendants and have two trials – at double the cost?

The defendant appealed, arguing she should only have to pay for the portion of the plaintiff’s injuries she caused (which she claimed was about 60% of the total judgment).

The Court of Appeal disagreed.

Discover Thailand and Hong Kong with the Abbotsford Chamber

After two successful trips to China, the Abbotsford Chamber has selected the exotic destinations of Thailand and Hong Kong for its next discovery adventure. Departing March 12, 2016, this 9 day trip will visit Bangkok’s Golden Palace, relax on Coral Island’s beaches, enjoy the Peak views in Hong Kong and so much more!

“The response from our travelers on previous trips was so enthusiastic to join us again that we searched to find a different location to discover,” said Chamber

Executive Director Allan Asaph.

“We want to maintain the same high standard of experiences, accommodation, food, safety and service that our travelers enjoyed in the past.”

After arriving in Bangkok the tour starts with an excursion to the Golden Palace, Emerald Buddha Temple and the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall before leaving for the seaside area of Pattaya. The next day will feature the beautiful beaches of Coral Island and Nong Nooch, site of the largest botanical garden in Southeast Asia.

The afternoon will include an elephant ride and a visit to the Pattaya Four Regions Floating Market to learn about the Thai way of life.

It’s back to Bangkok the next day for some shopping and additional sightseeing including a day at Ayuthaya, a ruined city built in 1350AD that was once the capital of Siam. A dinner cruise is available as an optional adventure.

After that comes Hong Kong with the incredible views of the city and Victoria Harbour from the Peak, accessed by

the Peak Tram started in 1888.

The itinerary will also include Ngong Ping 360 adventure park, Repulse Bay beach, the fishing village of Stanley and free time to explore.

The trip includes roundtrip international airfare, 4 & 5 star hotel accommodation, 3 meals per day, deluxe bus transportation, english speaking guides and admissions to tours and attractions. The Chamber is also providing return bus transportation from Abbotsford to the Vancouver Airport. In addition, Chamber

staff will be on the tour.

The total price of the 9 day trip for Chamber members is just $2,999, including all fees and taxes. The trip is available to non-Chamber members as well for an additional $150 per person. “About half our travelers are non-members and it is a great opportunity to travel with people from the same community,” said Asaph. “There is a single supplement available for those who wish to travel alone or we will pair you with suitable room-mate.”

The Chamber will be hosting

an information session from 6:00 - 7:30pm on Tuesday, September 29, 2015 in the Sevenoaks Boardroom, 2nd Floor, Sevenoaks Shopping Centre.

Deadline for booking is November 20, 2015.

More information, a detailed itinerary and registration details are available on the Chamber website at www. abbotsfordchamber.com or call Allan at the Chamber office at (604) 859-9651 ext. 302 or email allan@ abbotsfordchamber.com.

BC Cancer Foundation door-to-door canvassers are currently in Abbotsford.

Canvassers introduce local residents to the BC Cancer Foundation, the largest funder of cancer research in the province, and its monthly donor program.

Monthly donations support the life-saving research taking place at the BC Cancer Agency – helping to change the way the world prevents, detects and treats cancer.

For security and safety purposes, canvassers wear ID badges and BC Cancer Foundation purple vests.

BC Cancer Foundation canvassers invite residents to take part in the foundation’s monthly giving program only and do not accept cash or one-time gifts at the door.

A life tied to the mighty Fraser River in 1907, coming from Red Deer in the newly minted Province of Alberta that, until 1905 was part of the North West Territories.

If ever there is a man inextricably tied to the Fraser River it must be Albert Gibson. He was born above its banks, lived his whole life beside it, and spent his entire working career on it.

Albert’s grandfather moved his family to what is now North Bradner/Mount Lehman

Rushton Faces, Places and Traces pality of Matsqui. One of his roles was to collect, on foot, door-todoor, municipal taxes each year. So trusted by the council, tax payment cheques were actually made out to J.A. Gibson rather than to “Matsqui,� grandfather then transferring the collected funds to municipal coffers.

Albert was born on the family homestead next door to his current home 85 years ago and is one of very few residents to have “Mount Lehman� listed on his birth certificate.

However, while Albert has lived on virtually

the same land above the Fraser for all of his eight and a half decades, his career on the river has been the remarkable part of his life. From deckhand to captain, Albert has done it all.

From steam tugs to captain of the last sternwheeler to ply the river, ending his marine days in the 1990s as captain of the Fort Langley ferries that concluded their service with construction of Golden Ears Bridge.

In fact, on one of the last runs of the ferries on July 28, 2009 (the bridge opened on June 16 of that year) MLA

Michael de Jong and I accompanied Albert for a final ride on the M.V. Kulleet, one of the five ferries he had captained over the years.

A vessel that played a huge part in Albert’s life was the steampowered Samson V paddle wheeler that currently rests in New Westminster, serving as a floating museum to the Fraser’s history.

Another of Albert’s memorable ships was the King Edward, operated by the Dominion of Canada and used originally as a floating dredge in the conversion of Sumas Lake into what we now know as Sumas Prairie.

Captain Gibson piloted this mighty ship for a number of years, its paddles driving him and his crew throughout the Fraser estuary and Gulf of Georgia, even as farup

Even Albert’s home, filled with historical memorabilia (mostly associated with ancient vessels on the river,

along with archives of the Mt. Lehman community) has a maritime story to tell.

Albert bought his current home site in 1953, but it wasn’t until 1975 that he bought a house in Burnaby and had it barged up the Fraser to Fort Langley and thence via truck and road to its present site.

Albert lost his wife Elaine a few years ago, but their two daughters visit often with their families ‌ in fact last weekend they and some or all of Albert’s seven great-grandchildren were partying on his lawns, splashing in his pool and reliving a family life that has been attached to that land, and the mighty Fraser, for almost 110 years. markrushton@shaw.ca

Celebrate cultural diversity Although the Abbotsford Multicultural Festival only happens once a year, it is a reminder that every day is an opportunity to acknowledge our neighbours with understanding and acceptance.

AbbyFest was started in 2008 with a simple objective – increase the public’s awareness of cultural diversity in the Fraser Valley through interaction and education.

Over the years, it has grown into a platform for informed dialogue on multiculturalism in the hopes of creating a stronger community and eliminate factors that contribute to exclusion and racism. Those goals start with individuals having access to experiences that reflect cultures from all corners of the globe.

On Saturday, Sept. 26 AbbyFest will begin with the Parade of Nations at 2 p.m., followed by the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Fashion Show and re-imagined Global Village, martial arts demonstrations, belly dancing and music from Africa, South America, Asia and beyond. The festival ends at 8 p.m.,

and is a chance for families to celebrate Abbotsford’s diverse heritage with a full day of activities.

President-elect of the AbbyFest Multicultural Society, Vince Dimanno, estimates that nearly 30 per cent of the community lists their native tongue as one other than English or French.

“We are the home of the oldest Sikh Temple in North America, we have the third largest Filipino population in B.C, and the European influence is a huge part of our community history,” he says.

“AbbyFest is the only event each year that focuses solely on bringing all of these groups together for a full day of celebration.”

This year, AbbyFest is partnering with UFV and moving to Abbotsford’s UFV campus from its previous location at the Ag-Rec Building.

Dimanno says the partnership is a natural fit and will help to highlight how UFV reflects the diversity of the community through their educational opportunities.

“UFV has a successful and growing

MAKING THE

SCHOOL OF STYLE Go back to school in style with w the latest looks that capture the season’s hottest trends.

Leggings and tights are still on point and are a great way to make the transition from hot summer days to the cooler days ahead.

Pair with a mini dress, a lightweight knit cardigan and booties, and you’re ready to make a statement.

Pattern and colour are also strong this season. A sleeveless top adorned with chevron stripes

– a combination of

neutral and hot-pink tones – can be the focal point of an ensemble when left on its own or topped with a cute denim jacket.

Denim never goes out of style and is a versatile and practical option in, say, something like a little girl’s dress. With the right accessories, you can even dress it up!

Amazing hair for back to school Your hairstyle is an extension of who you are and tells the world your story. It can also influence the way you feel about yourself, and reflects your personality. The hairstyle you choose should match the shape of your face, suit your hair texture, and enhance your individuality.

The hot trend of the moment is the long bob, whether as a chin length bob or a shaggy, just above the shoulders bob. This style is low maintenance and works best on thinner to medium hair textures. If your hair is extra fine, ask for a graduated bob, stacked layers, shorter at the back and longer in the front, to give height to the crown. However, if you have a round face shape, the long bob is your better choice.

Big beachy waves are also trending, and ponytails, but tied at the nape.

Help a Child go to School!

Many children in the world cannot go to school because they cannot afford supplies.

Include the content of an MCC School Kit when you buy your childʼs school supplies and deliver it to the MCC Centre or your nearest MCC Thrift Shop.

Look for the hottest hairstyle and cut this season to suit your lifestyle and personality. After all, your hair is often considered your most feminine feature and it deserves to be showcased!

Ombre remains one of the hottest haircolour trends of the season, not only because of all the options, but because it is insanely low maintenance.

Rock your locks

Vamp up a short hairstyle with some highlights for the hottest look. And if you are blessed with thick hair that has a natural wave, choose a pixie for that epic new look! Medium cut styles give you the advantage of creative experimentation.

The perfect medium length is often called the chop; a nice change when you are tired of long hair but not ready to commit to a shag or a bob.

In true fashionista, your style would not be complete without a spectacular new colour.

According to experts, marsala will be one of the hottest colours of the winter season. This is a robust and earthy wine red shade that can act as a bold statement or a complimentary colour tone for most browns and reds. Aubergine is another very popular and versatile shade, appearing on the violet spectrum of the wine reds, which look great on most skin tones. Merlot joins the favourites with its rich red colour and subtle hints of cherry and cocoa. It contains equal parts of violet and red, and is the perfect colour pairing for brown based reds as a deep lowlight.

SCHOOL DAYS

WE CATER TO SCHOOLS! HOT LUNCHES • FUND-RAISING

Plan ahead for a smooth start Parents have begun preparations to get their kids ready for Back to School. A little organizing and planning can make the transition a smooth one. Here are a few tips that may help you ease into September’s schedule: Start to implement school-night bedtime gradually, perhaps two weeks prior to the big day. Plan a morning activity that will entice kids to rise early and gradually get back into the habit.

Stock the freezer with pre-made casseroles and soups to make hectic weekday dinners a breeze. Then it’s just a matter of thawing during the day and reheating at dinner time. Don’t foget the crock-pot, for family dinners that are ready when you are.

Prepare a spot at home for backpacks, lunch bags and all the clutter that comes with Back to School. Establish a routine of keeping belongings in a set space to make things easier to find, and harder to forget!

Arrange an area to be used for homework.

It can be in a bedroom, the family room or right at the kitchen table, but should provide a quiet environment where your child can work free from interruption.

Post a calendar near the door and notate

EARN A FREE CLASS PIZZA PARTY! ASK US HOW. ABBOTSFORD - 604.504.4600 MISSION - 604.826.1213

activities well in advance. Have kids add homework due dates, library and gym days.

Get in the habit of checking that everyone has everything they’ll need for the day before leaving the house.

Make a ‘snack box’ in your pantry cupboard filled with healthy snack options your kids can add to their lunchbox. Things like granola bars, fruit snacks, crackers, raisins, pretzels. Add another box in the fridge with things like yogurt tubes, cut veggies, fruit, cheese strings and juice boxes. Prepackaging healthy snacks in single servings will teach kids about making healthy snacking choices, and will free up time in the mornings. It also gives kids opportunity to make their own decisions, and to feel more in control.

Getting prepared for back to school is something that all members of the family can help with. Have your kids share their ideas as well; they may have some great suggestions they’ve heard from their friends’ families. With so many different family situations and schedules, there’s no magic equation that works for all, but a little advance planning can help to lessen the stress!

SOUP

Whether you make your own or use the frozen variety, mini-pizzas make an excellent sandwich alternative. To make your own, try a whole wheat pita or english muffin in lieu of crust, and top away. You might even get away with adding some veggies if you’re creative!

A thermos is definitely a worthwhile investment for those rushed mornings when you need something quick! Soup can be a great source of vegetables, but watch out for high sodium levels. Send along some breadsticks, crackers or croutons for a satisfying crunch!

PASTA SALAD How can you go wrong with pasta? Add chopped vegetables and a bit of tangy dressing for a healthy lunch! Try adding your favourite herbs, pickles, cheese cubes and/or meat, and you’ll have a multitude of flavour combinations.

This type of salad also refrigerates well so you can make a big bowl on Sunday night in preparation of a busy week ahead.

BEAN SALAD Packed with nutrients and rich in protein, bean salad is an excellent alternative for lunch. Add a side of fresh fruit and yogurt or cheese and you’ve got a full meal deal!

& SNACK PACKS

CHICKEN STRIPS OR NUGGETS Whether you use the pre-made/frozen variety or lower fat & sodium home-made options, if your kids like leftover chicken, these are sure to be a hit in the lunchbox. Add some ranch dressing and carrots for those who like to dip!

MUFFINS, SCONES OR BISCUITS Baked at home goodies can be made healthy for an excellent alternative to sandwiches.

Try adding ham and cheese to baking powder biscuits for a savoury lunch. Most muffin recipes can be made ‘lower’ fat by replacing the butter component with applesauce, and you can increase the fiber by using whole wheat flour. Have a little fun in the kitchen finding your favourite combinations.

Sometimes even just changing the type of bread you use can make a boring lunchbox more enticing. Try whole wheat bagels, pita pockets, flatbreads or croissants once in awhile, just to add some variety. Tired of sandwiches altogether? Try a granola bar, yogurt and cut veggies; most kids will find this quite satisfying!

MATTERS

Plantar Fasciitis and emergence of Shockwave Therapy!

DR. SIMPSON LEUNG CASCADIA CHIROPRACTIC CENTRE

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, resulting from inflammation and damage to the tough fibrous tissue which forms the arch of the foot. Patients may describe the sensation as a sharp or deep ache in the middle of the heel or along the arch that typically occurs during walking or standing. Often, pain occurs early in the morning when patients are taking their first few steps out of bed. As the foot naturally tightens at night, the fascia may gain new tears in the morning, initiating a painful cycle.

Improper footwear, strenuous activity, and obesity can bring on plantar fasciitis.

Flat feet, high arches and poor shock absorption in shoes can also put excessive stress on the foot’s soft tissues. Plantar fasciitis is commonly seen in middle-aged patients.

Most patients with plantar fasciitis are

effectively treated with some simple measures. Common treatments include anti-inflammatory medications, ice applications, shoe inserts, stretching and exercises.

Surgical intervention has been the last resort for patients when other treatments of plantar fasciitis do not work. The problem is that the success rate of surgery is not high, and surgery has potentially complicating side-effects.

LATEST DEVELOPMENT: Shock wave therapy (SWT) has emerged as a possible treatment option for patients with chronic plantar fasciitis. SWT delivers focused shock waves to the body.

INSTRUCTIONS:

REGION/COUNTRY: Fraser Valley; BC VQA

To make vinaigrette, mix all ingredients except oil in a bowl, then whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in oil until all the oil has been added and the dressing is mixed.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

GRAPE/BLEND: Siegerrebe

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and spread the crumbled Ramen noodles and sliced almonds on a cookie sheet and stir to combine. Bake about 5-8 minutes, or until slightly golden and toasted, stirring once in between. Watch carefully as they can burn very quickly, and then you’ve got to toss them and start all over! Add all ingredients, including vinaigrette in a large bowl and stir to combine. Serve immediately, or can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 or 3 days. This salad is best eaten the day it’s made, as the noodles will lose their crunch the longer it sits.

ON THE PALATE: Green apple, pear, stone fruit flavours that fill the mouth.

PRICE/ABV: $19.14 / 11.2% ABV ON THE NOSE: Pear, apple, peach, with a little tropical fruit, baking spice and plenty of floral notes.

OVERALL: Crisp, bright, fruity and lively, with soft but food-friendly acid that makes this off-dry wine a pleasure to sip.

BUY IT: Winery.

PAIR IT: This aromatic wine is perfect for the sweet-sour-salty-spicy flavours of Asian-inspired foods, especially salads like these that offer up crisp textures and the je ne sais quoi of umami.

Farmer Rob has been privileged to befriend feisty 91-year-old Ruth, an Osoyoos orchardist who is a wealth of knowledge of local history and healthy tree fruit practices. Recently she told him that “the best fertilizer is a farmer’s footsteps” as she relayed that she and her late husband were acquainted with each tree in their orchard, could respond to tree health issues quickly, and determine the optimum time to harvest. This resonated with Rob, as nightly corn field checks and Osoyoos orchard walk-arounds have been standard practice for him for years. This weekend help us celebrate the bounty of all those footsteps at “From the Farmer’s Field”, highlighting our locally grown corn and sun-sweetened strawberries, as well as juicy peaches from

Gold medals for Gibson

Swimmer Jessie Gibson of Abbotsford brought home a set of gold medals for the Team BC contingent at the Western Canada Summer Games, which wrapped up Sunday, Aug. 16.

Gibson earned three golds and two bronze in the five relay events she was in.

Gibson, with teammates Mackenzie Padington (Campbell River), Molly Gowans (Kamloops) and Megan Dalke (Kamloops), claimed the gold in the 4x200metre freestyle relay, defeating second-place finishers Alberta by just over four seconds.

GIBSON Gibson also claimed the top spot in the 4x50m freestyle relay with Padington, Wendy Yang (Burnaby) and Meredith Levorson (Coldstream).

The Abbotsford swimmer’s third gold came in the 4x100m freestyle relay with Padington, Levorson and Gowans on the second-last day of the tournament.

Gibson also claimed bronze in the 4x50m and 4x100m medley relays.

At this year’s Games in Wood Buffalo, Alta., the more than 300 B.C. athletes earned 134 gold, 86 silver and 61 bronze over 10 days of competition across 19 sporting events.

This year’s provincial contingent topped the medal count ahead of Alberta, which finished with 226 total medals and Manitoba at 144.

The 2015 medal count is an increase from the 255 medals won at the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games.

regrets about coming out here on my day off,” Mattocks told The News.

“Off-the-field activities are just as important for the club and we really look forward to doing things like this … [and] the kids know who I am, they know my number.”

The Whitecaps currently sit second in the Western Conference, just one point behind first-place L.A. Galaxy, and the strong season can only help the team’s popularity around the Lower Mainland.

Luanne Boulton drove both her kids, Kaitlyn, 10, and Jordan, 12, out from Langley to attend the camp, which kicked off Monday.

“The kids get one day with a pro and [can] get an autograph and picture so it’s great for them,” said Boulton.

The Boultons have been Whitecaps season ticket-holders for the past three years.

“It’s fun. We don’t mind the drive out to Vancouver.”

The Whitecaps have been hosting camps around B.C. and elsewhere in the country for the four years Mattocks has been with the organization.

“It’s really good for the club and for the players to spread the Whitecaps brand across B.C.,” he said. “I would like to think one day I could be an ambassador for this club.”

Vancouver plays Dallas FC, who sit fifth in the west, this weekend at BC Place.

Abbotsford Triathlon a ‘grassroots feel’

JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Triathlon adult sprint won by Jaroslav Ploc of Vancouver had around 100 or so competitors from around the province.

Abbotsford Triathlon Club member Nadine Burgess felt a sensation she described as elation when she crossed the finish line at Albert Dyck Memorial Park on Sunday.

Burgess, 34, finished 39th overall, and fourth among female participants, in the adult sprint at this year’s Abbotsford Triathlon, which included a 750-metre swim, 20-kilometre bike ride and five-kilometre run.

Burgess said the weather at the park was “awesome” for the roughly 150 adult and kid participants. For Burges, it was a completely different experience than at Vancouver’s Ironman-sponsored triathlon she attended in July.

Jaroslav Ploc of Vancouver won the adult sprint with a time of 1:01:28.0 and was the triathlon’s top male finisher.

The top female finisher was Vancouver’s Kelsy Traverse,

who came 10th overall, with a time of 1:12:34.0.

George Vrabec, who finished 28th, was the first Abbotsford participant to cross the finish line, while Raina Siou was the top Abbotsford woman, finishing 60th overall.

Abbotsford’s event, which was sponsored by a host of local businesses, carried a more grassroots feel, said Burgess.

“That’s what I loved about the race. I felt more connected

with the people. Everyone was helping each other out.”

Burgess, who is from Langley, has only been active in the endurance sport for a short while, but contends it is something anyone can try.

“It’s a sport that really gives back,” she says. “It is completely friendly … [with] a very supportive community.”

After Dark at The Reach

The Reach Gallery Museum Abbotsford hosts the third annual After Dark at The Reach event on Saturday, Sept.

12.

The event includes duo pianists Mel Bowker and Johannes Weber.

Bowker has been a professional musician for over 55 years, and as a travelling pianist with the Bowker Brothers piano duo, performed in more than 2,500 concerts throughout North America, as well as in Europe, Singapore, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand.

This arranger and composer also had one of his commissioned arrangements performed

by Ben Heppner live on CBC radio, and served as piano accompanist to Heppner on a fourconcert Canadian tour in 2003.

Weber was born in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. In addition to taking music lessons and completing a bachelor of arts in recording arts, he also studied computer science.

The After Dark event also features violinist Calvin Dyck, the past concert master for the Vancouver Island Symphony and the current director of the Abbotsford Youth Orchestra.

This teacher, conductor and adjudicator has played in more than 15 countries; is the producer of Songs, Strings and Steps; and this fall will present Carnival of the Animals with local Abbotsford pianists, plus host the Celtic Tenors.

Proceeds go toward arts and heritage learning programs.

The event takes place from 7 to 11 p.m. at The Reach (32388 Veterans Way). For ticket details and other information, call 604-864-8087 or visit the reach.ca.

BURNS BULLER / SCHELLENBERG Reanetta With deep sadness the family announces the unexpected passing of Reanetta Linda Buller (formally Schellenberg, nee Siemens) on August 1, 2015.

Reanetta was born May 28, 1928 at Main Centre, Saskatchewan. She married Beno Schellenberg in 1951 and together they farmed and raised a family. In 1979 they moved to Abbotsford where they opened Sweet Things Candy Store in West Oaks Mall. After Benoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing in 1986, Reanetta continued with retail sales and enjoyed her time at Peoples Jewelers, MCC, Sole Comfort and other local retail stores. She had a special talent for making someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day. Reanetta had a love for serving others and was a frequent volunteer at Haggai Institute in Hawaii, Central Heights Church ministries and Garden Park Towers.

Reanetta married Ed Buller in July 1999, on a Maui beach, and they were blessed with many years together. Since Edâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing in 2010 Reanetta focused her attention on her family and friends; frequently showering them with her gift of hospitality. Her soups and baking were legendary. Her optimistic spirit and consistent smile; a treasure. Despite facing hard challenges in her life, she chose to live a life sharing the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through her daily actions of service to others.

Her family was blessed by her consistent message of â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love you and I pray for youâ&#x20AC;? which ended every conversation. She will be greatly missed. Services for Reanetta were held at Central Heights Church on August 8, 2015.

Tributes may be left at www.facebook.com/ebuller2

JACOUBSEN Reano Reano Jacoubsen passed away on August 5, 2015. He was predeceased by his wife Francine Jacoubsen (nee West). He has two brothers Lahrie and Russell. Reano will be missed by all those who knew him.

January 6, 1918 ~ July 1, 2015

Born in Catford (London), England, Dorothy was a bomb girl during the war when she met Hughie. A war bride, she came to Canada to start a new life in KelďŹ eld, Saskatchewan, an English rose transplanted to the Canadian prairie. She was a great mum of ďŹ ve sons.

Her family, gardening, square dancing and traveling with Hughie in their RV brought her joy. She took many a niece, nephew and other youth under her wing. A woman of faith, Dorothy had a great sense of humour and a warm smile.

Thanks to all who helped Dorothy along the way. She is home at last with Hughie and Don. Memorial Tuesday, September 1st, 1:00 pm at Holy Spirit Anglican Church, 27123 River Rd., Maple Ridge, BC. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, donations in Dorothyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory are welcome to the Alzheimer Society of B.C. (www.alzheimerbc.org or 1-800-667-3742).

MASON Judith Louisa March 12, 1953 ~ Aug. 14, 2015

It is with great sadness that Judithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family announces her sudden passing. She was predeceased by her parents Tom and Jeanie. Left to cherish her memory are her husband Stephen Graham; children Bryce (Mandy) and Daryl (Michelle); grandchildren Makayla, Abigail, Avery and Presley; sister Janie as well as extended family and friends.

A private family service will be held. Donations in her memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

COWHIG, Peter James aka Uncle Wonderful May 2, 1950 - August 10, 2015 It is with deep sadness our family announces the passing of Peter Cowhig. Peter is survived by his daughter, Jasmine McNeil; grandchildren, Charley, Ben, and Georgia McNeil; as well as his mother, Jeannette Cowhig; sisters, Mary, Gemma, and Margaret; and brothers, John, Michael, and Paul. He revelled in the role of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Uncle Wonderfulâ&#x20AC;? to his many nieces and nephews.

Although Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career was in Real Estate, his passion was his family, ďŹ shing, ďŹ lm, and stage. He was often found on stage at Surrey Little Theatre and Langley Players, although he discovered his love of acting at Gallery 7 in Abbotsford. Peter grew up in Vancouver, but spent most of his adult years living, working, and playing in the Fraser Valley. He had a deep, enduring appreciation for nature. Not a day went by that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t express his thankfulness, delight, and amazement at the natural beauty of where we live.

Rest in peace Peter.

Forever your family weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be.

MITCH MILLERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S

Our mother passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer. She was surrounded by family and friends and she died as she lived, with grace, dignity and courage.
