Summer memories start at Mill Lake’s water park Independent well keeps water guns loaded

he spray park at Mill Lake has become a popular destination for young kids and their families in the past week, as summer sun finally arrived in Abbotsford. Temperatures last week soared into the low-to-mid 30s, which made the spray park a prime destination for youngsters to cool off. The heat has also prompted the City of Abbotsford to enforce watering restrictions to residents, which means people are no longer allowed to water their lawns or gardens until September. Thanks to a dedicated well near Mill Lake, the spray park is not affected by these restrictions, City of Abbotsford park planner and designer Scott Watson said Friday, as the mercury hit 32 C. “When these droughts started happening and we started having these water shortages, it was put to us by the engineers that this spray park is using a lot of water,” he said, adding the spray park would have been shut down had the city not found a new, more efficient source of water. “I checked into putting it on a well. We’re right above the Sumas aquifer, we’ve got a pretty good chance of hitting water, we had the wells up on Bevan Avenue just recently dug and they were going to produce sufficient quantities so I went forward, hired an engineer . . . and from there we just went along.” Watson said the old spray park used 160 U.S. gallons per minute of chlorinated water, but since the implementation of the well, it now used 70 U.S. gallons of clean clear water. And it’s a good thing Watson and his team of engineers struck quality H20.

Boys play in Abbotsford’s new sustainable water park in Mill Lake Park recently. During hot weather, the spray park at Mill Lake is a destination to hundreds of youngsters looking to cool off. “It provides a free recreational service with water play. It is using water, a valuable resource, but the other option was that the engineering department was going to shut us down during water shortages,” said Watson. “This well is strictly dedicated for this purpose.” The recent heat wave and kids taking full advantage of the spray park

has also raised the concern of proper protection from the sun. A release put out by the Fraser Health Authority is telling parents and kids to apply sun screen with a minimum sun protection factor of 15 at least 30 minutes before going outside and then reapplying “often.” It also urges people to wear hats and 100 per cent UV blocking sunglasses, as well as to drink plenty of water to keep hydrated.

Saddle up for equine camp

summer

BY FRED ARMSTRONG

This won’t be a summer to forget for horse lovers

■ Hitting a bucket of golf balls at Valley Golf Centre Located at 4211 Gladwin Rd., this is one of my favourite year-round places, but on a clear sunny day there’s a couple of bonuses to this site. The first is the spectacular view north to the mountains behind Mission. The second is the fact that you can usually see the folks skydiving at the Parachute Club up the street. I’m a horrible golfer, but my son and I play a game of trying to hit the yard marker signs, and he usually wins.

PAUL FONTAINE editorial@abbotsfordtimes.com

f your child or teen wants to make a four-legged friend for life and enjoy the beauty of Matsqui in summer, then Matsqui Stables may be the destination of choice. The stables have camps this summer for horse enthusiasts seven years of age and older. The facility opened in 1993 under the watchful eyes of Jordie and Joyce McElhoes. In 2000, the pair decided to end their days in the business of sharing their love of horses – that’s when their daughter Denise Rathnam stepped in.

■ Birchwood Dairy Located at 1154 Fadden Rd., this is one of the great treasures of the Fraser Valley and Lepp Farm. The ice cream is second to none that I have tasted, and this includes my trip to the Berthillion ice cream shop and the famous MacKay’s ice cream in Cochrane, Alberta. The farm setting and great little store are icing on this great activity.

“They will learn the same amount in a week that someone taking four months of riding lessons will learn, because they are doing it every day.” – Denise Rathnam

– PAUL FONTAINE/TIMES

Owner of Matsqui Stables, Denise Rathnam, with her favourite horse Dawson. The facility is running horse camps for youths throughout the summer. Rathnam said campers have the same horse during the whole week, so by the end of the camp a friendship has usually been formed. The intensive schedule of the camp speeds up the learning process. “They will learn the same amount in a week that someone taking four months of riding lessons will learn, because they are doing it every day,” Rathnam said. The future looks bright for the Rathnams’ business, as they had a strong June with 96 riding students a week. They are also making renovations to the barns on the property, which should be completed in the next couple of years.

■ The 100th anniversary of AgriFair AgriFair turns 100 this year, and runs from July 29 to August 2. We are so fortunate, as a community, to have a special relationship with agriculture. A ten minute drive from any home in our community puts you at a fruit stand or farm market, and this annual festival is a great way for kids to get a strong understanding of our agricultural history and current legacy. Plan to attend with family and friends. It’s a unique and distinctly local way to celebrate summer.

■ Rotary Stadium I resolved to get in shape at the beginning of the year, and one of my favourite places to walk is at the track at Rotary Stadium, located in the centre of Abbotsford at 32470 Haida Dr. for those of you using the GPS. The track is superb, and the lanes allow you to keep track of your time and distances so you can set goals for your fitness program. Run, walk or jog, the track is a great all-weather facility and on a nice day the views of Mount Baker to the south and the mountains north are breathtaking.

The purpose of the camps is to tell the community that they are going strong and to get long-term interest from riders of all ages. “The camps are the icing on the cake, but we want to make a bigger cake,” Rathnam said. Matsqui Stables held its first camp this week, and six more will follow. The camps run as follows: July 1923, July 26-30, Aug. 2-6, Aug. 9-13, Aug. 16-20, and Aug. 23-27.

■ The wave pool at the Matsqui Rec Centre Located at 3106 Clearbrook Rd., Abbotsford, the wave pool is a great place to spend a few hours with the kids. Now I see a lot of parents sitting at the tables while their kids get hurled about by the waves, but I can tell you, firsthand, that it’s a load of fun to get into your bathing suit and get in the water with them.

She had just graduated when the business was closing down, so she decided to take the reins (pun intended). Rathnam started to rebuild the client list and in 2002 started up the summer camps, which were a staple at the stables when her parents were in charge. The camps, which run through July and August, are centered around horses. Attendees learn both how to care for the horses and how to ride them. “It is a horse camp, so everything revolves around horses,” said Rathnam, who gets a lot of help around the stables from her husband Paul, who works in construction. “The idea every day is to have a horse activity and a horse chore,” she added. The activities include trail riding along the Fraser River and riding lessons. Chores include washing and brushing the horses.

What NOT to do this summer . . .

Summer sprinkling shelved as city tunes into limited water resources CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

ut away your lawn sprinklers and soaker hoses – you won’t need them until September. To help conserve water over summer, Abbotsford and Mission have banned all lawn sprinkling for July and August. That includes soaker hoses, rotary sprinklers, in-ground sprinklers, and sprinklers set on timers in the night. This is part of phase three of the cities’ water shortage response plan, said Lisa Mirfatahi, a water planning engineer with the City of Abbotsford. In the heat, parents can have sprinklers on briefly for their children, “we just ask people to be responsible about it,” she said.

“Lots of people are violating the bylaw, but we will find you. People will try to sprinkle when it’s dark, but we have extra staff on at night.” – Lisa Mirfatahi water planning engineer

“Let the kids have their fun, for 15, 20 minutes, but bear in mind we have a water shortage.” The two communities jointly get their primary source of water from Norrish Creek, with back-up provided by Cannell Lake and 19 ground water wells. However, expected growth rates in Abbotsford and Mission will make it challenging to meet peak day water demands in the summer for about the next five years. The communities will be tapping into a new water source from Stave Lake, but they’re taking conservation

measures until then. Summer watering bans should help alleviate the draw on water supplies. Activities such as fundraising car washes or hosing down driveways are also banned. Use a broom instead. Pressure washing is also limited. Hand watering with hoses that have a shut-off device is allowed for flower and vegetable gardens and new sod, but you won’t be able to get sprinkling permits for new lawns. And if you try to get around the restrictions, you’ll first be warned, and then fined if you continue. Penalties go from $100 a day fine to shutting off water service. “Lots of people are violating the bylaw,” said Mirfatahi, “but we will find you. People will try to sprinkle when it’s dark, but we have extra staff on at night.” To help residents save water, the Abbotsford Mission Water Sewer Commission has a website with water-saving tips, contacts and information on water restrictions. It offers residents $100 and $50 rebates for purchases of high efficiency washing machines and ultra-low flow toilets, and other rebates for businesses. To save rain water for gardens, people can buy rain barrels to catch water from roofs, sheds or garages. Barrels and diverter kits are $64 at: – Abbotsford Recycling Depot (33670 Valley Rd., Abbotsford. – Mission City Hall (8645 Stave Lake St., Mission, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ◗ See www.ourwatermatters. ca.

Farm fresh summer feasts

Dedication to home-grown produce makes Restaurant 62 a hot spot with local flavour PAUL FONTAINE editorial@abbotsfordtimes.com

n a sunny day, Restaurant 62 chef Jeff Massey loads fresh produce he just bought at Wisbey Veggies into his truck. The chef makes the stop at the No. 3 Road produce market at least a couple times a week. It is one of his regular suppliers and as the summer crops are starting to hit the shelves, Massey’s head is filling with new dishes to put on the menu. “We’ve kind of done some changes here and there,” the 33-year-old chef said of the restaurant’s menu. The stick-to-your-ribs dishes of winter and fall are starting to be replaced with lighter summer fare. “As soon as the crops are ready, they start dropping them off here,” he added, making his way to the cash register at Wisbey Veggies. Massey moved to Chilliwack when he was 17, but left to train to be a chef in Vancouver before returning in 2005. In 2006, Massey took the helm at Restaurant 62. He says when he came back from Vancouver, the difference in a Fraser Val-

up Swiss chard, tomatoes and apricots, which he served with some Gelderman Farms’ pork chops. “If the apricots hadn’t been there, we would have come back with something else,” he said back in the Restaurant 62 kitchen, preparing for lunch service. Working with the local

growers fosters a feeling of community in Massey, as it is about helping the food producers thrive in the valley. “It’s not just helping yourself, it’s helping the other businesses.” Massey added that because former buzz phrases like ‘sustainability’ and ‘local produce’ are now ingrained in

the minds of many consumers and those involved in the restaurant industry, there is a real appreciation and hunger for locally grown food. The excitement Massey and the staff at Restaurant 62 have for the local produce means all the veggies are featured prominently in each dish. “We handle them individually and there is usually no less than five different vegetables on each plate,” Massey said. While each season brings new items to the menu, summer also means more catering opportunities for Restaurant 62. Weddings, along with the occasional barbecue are a great way for the restaurant to strengthen ties with the community. “When you go to their houses and they are so welcoming and open up their wine cellars to you, it is a really fun part of the job.” If you want to see what’s fresh and in season, check out Restaurant 62 at 2001 McCallum Road, Abbotsford.

◗ Opinion

Taylor made to take over T he legislature is a fairly quiet place these days, as our politicians are scattered far and wide for the summer. But their absence hasn’t ended the main political guessing game in this province. That game is about trying to figure out if there is any hope of a revival of B.C. Liberal fortunes, and if so, who is going to create it. A lot of names have been kicked around, but it would seem only one person has a realistic hope of breathing life into the party and returning it to competitive status come the 2013 election. That person’s name? Carole Taylor. Of all the potential heirs to Gordon Campbell’s leadership, only Taylor can separate herself from the current government, particularly over the issue of the HST. When she was finance minister, she opposed bringing the HST to this province. Among her reasons was a refusal to give up all kinds of exemptions to the tax, and reluctance to cede authority over the sales tax to the federal government. But her potential strengths go much deeper than that. As finance minister she racked up some hefty budget surpluses and gained a reputation as an able, pragmatic and non-ideological politician (although there are likely many people who never really viewed her as a politician in the traditional sense of

KEITH BALDREY

From the Ledge a partisan combatant). Her public image is one built on achievement, likeability and even glamour. On all these fronts, she scores much better than any other potential leadership candidate. Speculation abounds over Gordon Campbell’s future. Personally, I think he will announce sometime next year or early 2012 that he won’t be running again. Of course, if there’s a miracle turnaround in the polls – an eventuality that appears extremely remote – he may well choose to stick around. But he once told me that he thought 10 years in the premier’s chair was a good benchmark of political success, and that means the due date is May 2011. His departure would theoretically mean a leadership race in the party. But there doesn’t have to be one. The NDP, for example, opted to let Mike Harcourt – fresh from Vancouver city hall – take over the party leadership unopposed in 1987. The New Democrats were mindful how much damage a messy leadership fight can do to a party, particularly when things don’t go as planned and

a long-shot candidate whom no one really wanted as leader ends up being just that (remember Bob Skelly?). The B.C. Liberals, however, seem to have no end of people whose ambition may lead them to reach for the leader’s position. Cabinet ministers such as Rich Coleman, Kevin Falcon, Mike de Jong, Shirley Bond, George Abbott, and even the beleaguered Colin Hansen all get mentioned when talk turns to a party leadership race. But they appear to all be hamstrung by the fallout over the HST, and even if the public grudgingly accepts the tax, I’m not sure they’re going to forgive the politicians responsible for it. This brings us back to Carole Taylor. She hasn’t actually said she’d even be interested in taking the job, but that’s to be the expected response as long as Campbell is still the boss. It appears the best such plan would see all those leader wannabes check their egos at the door and allow Taylor to win by acclamation. That could set up an historic fight in 2013: Carole versus Carole. Not only would that guarantee an elected female premier in this province for the first time ever, but it would likely ensure this province sticks close to the political centre. ■ Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

here is something rewarding about leaving the city you live in to go on a trip. There is the adventure of packing up your belongings, the thrill of experiencing something new and the promise of a little decadence not often afforded in your dayto-day life. But, when you come home, there is always the sinking feeling in your stomach when you gaze upon that bank statement – now sadly depleted. Even with the economy taking a turn for the better, travelling abroad is still one of those luxuries that many will choose to go without, at least not until they have a couple of years of financial stability under their belts. Instead of moping around the house looking at travel brochures, wondering what could have been if you had only found that golden deal, you can take advantage of the place where you spend 90 per cent of your life. Imagine making your hometown a goto destination. We hope the tips and activities we list in this issue are of some help, or, at the very least inspire you to see what is out there. There is nothing so uplifting as spending a great sunny, summer day in your community. You see other people out enjoying the same activities as you, and there is camaraderie in that. It is the kind of closeness you don’t often feel with other vacationers at an all-inclusive resort. Maybe the best part about the now trendy ‘staycation’ is that you can make of it whatever you want. Start a summer biking club, or get friends together and make a pact to sky jump on the last weekend of August. There is nothing like having sand under your toes, but until the time is right enjoy local hiking, camping, or skydiving . . . The list goes on and on. ■ To comment on this editorial, e-mail us at letters@abbotsfordtimes.com.

Can’t turn our backs on Shelswell Editor, the Times:

I am writing in response to Mr. Handysides’ letter (Too much attention on Clare Shelswell, Times, July 9). I think that the reason this is still making headlines is because people are still in shock and we all want justice for Clare. What was done should never happen to an innocent life and James Wilson does deserve to die for this. I believe that there is eternal justice once we all die but we live in a world full of evil and there must be a penalty for all crimes here on earth – especially this act of brutality. I, too, do not enjoy hearing about this day in and day out, but I want this man to pay for what he has done to send the message

It is yet just another tax, and we have a government that does not listen. Jack (Layton), the head honcho of the federal NDP, is getting to the place where he may very well win the next election. What a horrid thought that is! Should not the citizens of this country be able to decide where our income is to go, and not a government that never tires of putting on yet another tax?

Still baffled over benefits of HST Editor, the Times:

There’s much sound and fury vented regarding the HST, and rightly so.

not be the last either. I recently received an e-mail that covers this nonsense. When the word ‘the’ is combined with IRS, it now spells ‘theirs.’ We have a government with very little transparency. This tends to mean few truthful answers. The access to information is just so many words. It is pretty much meaningless. One of the bogey men they cite is natural security. We who pay the taxes should have some say. We don’t though, for democracy is pretty much a myth. And some wizard has come up with a figure saying that with the HST,

great comfort for me while I waited scared and alone for my husband. To the two paramedics who came to my home and acted quickly, calmly and professionally as they got me to the hospital for help. To my trauma room nurse who went over and above her job to get me taken care of quickly at very critical time. And last but not least to Dr. Tregoning for making me better and then for taking the time to follow up with me. Your sincere concern for my wellbeing during my follow up visit was so phenomenal.

he man charged with first-degree murder in the brutal slaying of his five-year-old stepdaughter plead not guilty in a Washington State courtroom Monday morning. Peter James Wilson, 29, and his defence attorney, Ron Sergi, entered a plea of not guilty in the charge of firstdegree murder in the death of Clare Louise Shelswell in Mason County Supreme Court shortly after 9 a.m. Monday. Sergi said the not-guilty plea was procedural because the defense has not seen the police reports in the case yet, but he is hoping to receive them this week. Wilson takes medication to regulate a bi-polar disorder and Sergi said expert medical testimony on his state

of mind at the time of Shelswell’s death could be employed if the not-guilty plea stands. “We’re still exploring that,” he said. County prosecutor Gary Burleson said the state has filed a notice of intent to seek an exceptional (longer) sentence in the case. Burleson said the notice of intent is based on mitigating factors in the homicide, including Shelswell’s age and helplessness, the cruel nature of the murder and the horrific impact on her family. Washington State carries the death penalty, but Burleson said the prosecution is not seeking it. “It’s not in the case at this time. Firstdegree aggravated murder carries the possibility of the death penalty. “This was not first-degree aggravated murder, this was first-degree murder,”

group of people moved by the plight of Clare Shelswell’s family is holding a celebrity auction at 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Duke of Dublin pub, 33720 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford. When Nazareth drummer Lee Agnew was in Abbotsford on July 1 and heard about Clare’s death, he made a personal donation, said Darrin Nickolas, who is one of the organizers along with local residents Sean Brown and Allison Aubin. Agnew donated copies of

the band’s latest CD, The Newz, a snare drum, drum sticks and T-shirts, signed by all band members. That triggered a silent auction that includes donations from celebrities to local business. To date, items include: a guitar package from Kings Music, with guitar, case and tuner; a four-hour donation of time from Music Central Mobile DJ Services; personal items from Spice Girl (Sporty) Melanie C; Bernie Aubin, the drummer for Headpins, has donated signed Greatest

he said. Wilson was arrested June 27, after Mason County Sheriffs found Shelswell lying dead in a pool of blood, her throat slit, at a holiday home in the 200 block of North Mt. Seattle Way in Hoodsport, near Lake Cushman, Washington. The little girl’s body was discovered after police received a frantic 911 call from her mother, Sarah Wilson. A press release by the Sheriff’s office states Wilson told a detective he knowingly killed the little girl with a knife he found on the kitchen counter after having an argument with his wife about disciplining Shelswell and her eightyear-old sister. The family had just started summer vacation in Washington State when the murder occurred.

SUMMERTIME FUN PRACTICE BOATING SAFETY

All boaters should:

• Have a sober operator. DON’T operate a boat under the inﬂuence of drugs and/or alcohol. Alcohol and drugs affect judgement, vision, balance and coordination. • Wear a Coast Guard-apporved life jacket or personal ﬂotation device at all times.

Rods, reels, bait, ﬁsh cleaning playground, bathroom, picnic area, BBQs wheelchair safe INCLUDED

The worse time to look for a PFD or life jacket is when you are already in distress. • Have a marine-band radio. Use of acell phone could provide resuers with a false location of your vessel • Have a ﬂoat plan. File a ﬂoat plan with someone who is not getting underway with

Fondest memories of Empire Stadium prove to be a winner for Delta man Finally the parade ended and my dad, still in uniform, got me and we went to the game. Arriving at Empire Stadium the sounds, smells, and the entire goings-on put my head on a pivot, for I did not want to miss any of this first-time experience. We waited in line with our tickets and then waited in line at the concession stands. Now well prepared with hotdogs, Coke and peanuts, we walked through the small tunnel entrance and for the first time I could see Empire Stadium from the inside. Both teams were on the field warming up. Puntwith tic kets ta el D of w fo rd Fi el d. ers were punting, kickers were kicking field goals, ts R ay C ra re en pi es Em pr at B uo no ka tc he w an e ac h Wal ly quarterbacks were throwing to receivers, linemen ag ai ns t S as a pr e- ga m er d BC Li on s co en an op ss e pa m a pa rk in g Ju ly 10 ho s, s’ were going over their blocking techniques and ey on rs Li je e s to th o B C Li on /The Now al so w on tw there was just so much to watch at one time.

He had a girlfriend who worked at the Bay Theatre on Denman Street and she was have many fond memories of Empire Stadium friends with my mother. Many times Uncle Vic had been at – unfortunately my fondest memory, my first time our house. Dad reminded me that it was Uncle Vic who had at Empire Stadium, has nothing to do with the BC given us the tickets to the game. As Uncle Vic was practising Lions. close to the track, my dad encouraged me to go down to The first time I set foot inside Empire Stadium was on the rail and wave to him. I went down the stairs, zigzagging Saturday, Nov. 26, 1960 for the 48th annual Grey Cup Game. between the people trying to get to their seats and as I got In 1960 I was 10 years old and this was the first time that I to the rail I called out to Uncle Vic. How he heard me above attended a professional football game. It was the first time all the noise, I do not know. He ran over and asked me how that I attended any professional game. The Ottawa Rough the seats were. Someone then called to Uncle Vic and he Riders defeated Edmonton 16 to 6 to become the 1960 Grey said he had to go as the two teams disappeared into their Cup Champions and Ron Stewart of the Ottawa Rough Rid- dressing rooms. ers was the Grey Cup’s most valuable player.

Then was a sea cadet officer with the Captain Vancouver Corps in the announcer asked for our attention and there was such a Stanley Park and the cadets were part of the parade. I was fanfare going on before the game. Introductions of the many seated in an area with some friends of my Dad’s and watched important people that were there that day, the introductions the parade. As I watched the parade it was like waiting for of the starting lineups for both sides, the flip of the coin for Christmas morning; I couldn’t wait to get to Empire Stadium. the kickoff, the V.I.P. kickoff and then finally the kickoff and

the game was on. My eyes never left the field. The action was a continuous assault upon both my vision and hearing. Hearing the proEdmonton crowd gasp as the ball was thrown to a receiver and then a quiet hush as the ball fell through his fingertips. The grunts and the groans, the hits and the misses, the running, the catching, the kicking, the punting football now had me mesmerized. I loved everything about it. I wanted nothing to change. To me, football had to be played in this way, in this stadium. Over the years there were many more times that I visited Empire Stadium. I watched the Lions roar; there were concerts, and track and field events. As a high school football player I played at Empire Stadium against the Notre Dame Jugglers in the 1969 Shrine Bowl. Unfortunately, we lost. I believe that we were the last game on real grass at Empire Stadium. A few years later as a player for the Vancouver Meralomas, I returned to Empire Stadium to play in the Junior Big Four Football League. At that time the field was artificial turf and when you hit the ground it really hurt. It was quite something for me to play for the Vancouver Meralomas. For it was with the Meralomas that my Uncle Vic had played part of his football career. His picture still hangs on the clubhouse wall in the president’s room. Yes, Empire Stadium holds many memories for me. I was sad the day they tore it down. But now I rejoice at the realization that I will take my 22-year-old son to a Lions game at Empire Stadium. It won’t be like 1960, it won’t be for the Grey Cup, but it will be the continuation of a tradition. My dad took me to my first game at Empire Stadium and even though I have taken my son to the dome, he has yet to experience Empire Stadium: the sounds, the smells, the whole experience of watching football outdoors in a grand old stadium. Life goes on and shall forever change, but sometimes I think they should just leave some things alone. Empire Stadium should remain and be used as a sports and entertainment complex at least until my son can take his son to Empire (Stadium) Field. – RAY CRAWFORD

Abbotsford Collegiate rugby stars picked to play for the provincial girl’s U17 team CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

t’s funny what people say about how opposites attract. In t h e c a s e o f L a u re n Arthur and Natalie Teteris, soon-to-be Grade 11 students from Abbotsford Collegiate who have built a seemingly unbreakable friendship, that statement couldn’t be more accurate. Arthur is a tall, quiet brunette. Teteris is a shorter, talkative blond. But despite those superficial differences, the duo, which was officially formed in Grade 6, has become closer through their insurmountable love for the sport of rugby. “I could play rugby for the rest of my life,” said Arthur. “I’m officially in love with rugby,” added Teteris. Co m b i n i n g t h e i r ow n unique qualities within the sport – Arthur a true thinker of the game and Teteris a natural speedster according to coach Peter Cannon – with the same passion has quickly turned the girls from beginners to competitors. “I look up to Lauren a lot,” said Teteris. “When we play a game, she does everything so perfectly, she’s really good.” Arthur added: “I rely a lot on Natalie’s speed a lot. She’s always there supporting

everyone.” In essence, neither have one bad thing, not even any form of constructive criticism to say to each other, which might attest to their latest tandem accomplishment in rugby. The two were recently named to the B.C. Under-17 girl’s rugby team after a rigorous tryout involving upwards of 60 hopefuls. The team will travel down to California for a tournament in early August, and Teteris said it was more of a relief than anything else when the word came both girls had qualified for the trip. “All you’re thinking is ‘wow, there’s a lot of girls who really want this,’” she said. For Arthur, this trip provides the opportunity to slide out from beneath the shadow of her older brother, Bryan, a recent 49th-round selection of the New York Yankees in the 2010 MLB draft. “It’s really cool,” she said. “It’s always been about Bryan since I was young and I’ve played on other teams in the Fraser Valley and we just went to Vancouver but this is pretty awesome to be going to California.” She added part of the trip she fears most, above being hit, tackled or anything physical, will be the flight down to California.

Both girls have been doing fundraising activities, including cleaning lockers out at their high school in addition to collecting bottles and selling raffle tickets. “It’s pretty gross,” said Teteris of the locker clea-

nout. Their dedication to this trip, which will feature three games and costs upwards of $1,400 per athlete, and passion for rugby has left a strong impression on their coach. “I’m very proud of them,” Cannon said. “They set goals and they showed they belong on this team.”

Given budget cuts to B.C. Rugby and Rugby Canada, many of the girls on the team, including Arthur and Teteris, have resorted to various fundraising efforts to come up with the money for the trip. Cannon said money shouldn’t act as a deterrent to these girls reaching their dreams. “It’s my personal philoso-

phy that no person should be denied the opportunity to play whatever sport it is at a representative level because they can’t afford it,” he said. “The only way this is going to work is with community spirit.” People interested in any fundraising causes should contact Cannon at pcannon@telus.net.

If dogs are so beneficial, and we have reduced bites by 90 per cent in the last 40 years, what have we done and what can we continue to do to improve this trend? Ensure your dog goes through the appropriate puppy socialization stages. Have the whole family participate in training classes not only as puppies but beyond into the adult years. Continue dog socialization throughout their lives. Teach your children how to (and how not to) approach unknown dogs. And never, ever, leave a child unsupervised with any pet. More on preventing dog bites next time.

with powerful jaws. They aren’t necessary the most frequent to bite, but they are the most likely to do damage. If bites are so frequent, should we not be worried? Yes and no. Since the 1970s the frequency of dog bites has decreased by up to 90 per cent in some cities. What is the value in having a dog in your family when you consider the risk of dog bites? For seniors and the elderly, the dog is often the one true reliable consistent companion. For children, studies have shown that if they grow up with dogs they are more empathic, have higher self esteem, consider life more fun and have a more positive outlook on life in general. Dogs work better than anti-depressants.

Pet tips

his summer, as you dust off your dog’s leash or cat’s harness, consider how you can preserve the environment that you and your pet love so much. Purina’s Paws for the Planet initiative shares green tips with pet lovers to reduce their impact on the environment at www. PawsForThePlanet.ca, and supports Evergreen, a national charity dedicated to making cities more livable by enhancing and restoring dynamic outdoor spaces. Here are pet friendly green tips from Purina’s Paws for the Planet, to inspire pet lovers to make their own pledges for the environment. Green tips for your dog: • Explore the neighbourhood with your dog on foot. By minimizing driving, you can reduce your carbon footprint. • Always leash your dog in forests, wildlife areas and wetlands to minimize their impact on plantlife and wildlife. • Use eco-friendly biodegradable dog waste bags since plastic bags can take decades to decompose. • Make sure you always pick up your pet’s waste to reduce pollution and contamination of waterways. Green tips for your cat: • Avoid using bleach when cleaning cat litter boxes. Give them a good scrub using hot water and vinegar. • By placing a bell on your cat’s collar, birds and other wildlife will be alerted.

t’s shocking and disturbing every time we read about a child mauled by a dog. It sells papers. It creates a lot a debate about breed bans. And some individuals even question why we own dogs. So just how do we interpret these reports? What are the facts behind dog bites? Let’s look at some of the statistics. How many people get bitten? In the United States 1.5 per cent of people have been bitten by a dog. It is estimated that 50 per cent of dog bites are not reported. That means three per

and close to the ground. Which dogs are most likely to bite? This has changed over time. It is always the most popular breeds of the time. In other words, all breeds bite. The more popular the breed, the more frequently that one comes up in the list of dogs that bite. Not surprisingly, herding dogs are often responsible for bites. They may be trying to herd a crowd of children, but that nip at the heel is viewed as a bite. There is one breed that is consistently the least likely to bite: the Labrador Retriever. Which dogs do the most damage? Large breeds

It is with a heavy heart that Mary announces the death of Harry, her soulmate and companion of 65 years; a very classy man and true romantic whose integrity, calm intelligence, sardonic wit and athleticism were noticed and admired by all. As a loving father to their five daughters: Patricia (Walter Ross), Elizabeth Coote (Rod), Beverly (Ralph Hogg), Barbara Marcellus and Mary Lou (Neil Bond). Harry taught them through active demonstration, the value of education, fitness and independence as well as how to live a life in tune with Nature. Born in 1916 as The Battle of the Somme raged in Europe, Harry was the only son of three children. Their father, Harry Bruce, was the Canadian son of a Scottish sea captain and their mother was Frieda Schmidt, a beautiful and fashionable German immigrant. The family was living in Prince George when Harry was born and it was there as a King Scout and Military Cadet, he received his wilderness education, his love of skiing and the outdoors. As the Dirty Thirties began, the family moved to Port Moody where Harry graduated Senior Matriculation (1935) from John Oliver High School where, known as “Crazy Legs” he played hockey and lacrosse. In 1936 he received his Pharmacy Apprenticeship and worked in his father’s drugstore in Port Moody and in the Military Pharmacy in Nanaimo until 1939, when he was stationed at Vernon Military Hospital as Staff Sargent. In 1944 he started his postwar Pharmacy career at George Campbell Pharmacy in Haney. Later, as a partner in Lightbody’s Drugstore in Mission, he met the love of his life Mary Hallam, he began his family and long career as a businessman, first as manager of Lightbody’s then as manager of Cunningham Drugs, Shoppers Drugs and Boots the Chemist. Always cognizant of his good luck, Harry gave back as much as he could to the community. As a Rotarian, (President 1957-58) he helped push the drive for the new Centennial Pool and Tennis Courts, Health Clinic and Hospital in Mission. He served on the Hospital Board as an elected member for 30 years, never losing focus on getting a new hospital despite huge financial obstacles and obstructionist governments. He was the Chairman of the Recreation Commission (1970), a Community Volunteer for Pleasantview Housing Society (1992-1995) and an active member of The United Church and Lifelong Learning. He received a Lifetime Achievement Award from The District of Mission and a Mission Chamber of Commerce Volunteer Achievement Award in 2004. In his retirement at the age of 72, Harry relished his new vocation as a tree farmer and had abiding delight in the first flush of his insecticide, pesticide free Christmas trees.His enduring penchant for telling tales of his youthful adventures and for observing the curiosities of the natural world was a treat to look forward to when anyone had a visit to the farm. His heart remained however, on Guest Island in Summit Lake where he loved to fish, canoe, chop wood, haul water and walk in the bush. Predeceased by his two siblings, Dorothy Flanagan and Shirley Black, his son-in-law Jim Marcellus, his brothers-in-law Philip Hallam, Jack Black and Ed Flanagan, he leaves his beloved wife Mary, his 5 daughters and his grandchildren: Jody Dozois, Bryson Baker, Dave Marcellus, Ann Allen, Morley and Oliver Coote, Rio Guest -Bond and Dax Guest-Ross as well as seven great grandchildren. He is also survived by his nieces Judy Lees (Leroy), Linda Warner (Doug), Kieris Flanagan, his nephews Ted Black (Tracey), John Black, David (Val) Hallam and Philip Hallam, the extended family of Guests in Prince George and his dog Goldie. Memorial service will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, July 17th in St. Andrews United Church, 7756 Grand Street, Mission. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to the charity of your choice.
