Jed Leech of Cobble Hill put on a show in the BC Games water-ski jump competition at Albert Dyck Park, soaring 137 feet.
Surrey hosted the majority of the BC Summer Games, but the excitement spilled over to Abbotsford on the weekend.
Albert Dyck Park was the host site for the towed watersports competitions, and teenage athletes battled for medals in the water-ski, wakeboard and barefoot disciplines.
Beyond the towed watersports, Abbotsford athletes combined to win 24 medals in sports ranging from rugby to wrestling to synchronized swimming.

Compelled to help
Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News
Two of three United Nations Gang members arrested in Abbotsford as part of a 2009 undercover operation in the city have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to traffic cocaine.
Daryl Robert Johnson, 33, of Abbotsford and Douglas
E d w a r d Vanalstine, 52, of K e l o w n a e n t e r e d guilty pleas We d n e s d ay in B.C. S u p r e m e Court in Vancouver.
A charge of possession for the purpose of trafficking was stayed against each of them.
Charges against a third alleged UN Gang member, Nicholas Christopher Wester of Abbotsford, were dropped as part of a plea bargain.
The three were among five
arrested in Abbotsford in November 2009 following an undercover operation, known as Project E-Pintle, that was headed by the Combined
Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) of B.C.
Also arrested that day were Red Scorpions member Jarrod Bacon and associ-
ate Wayne Scott, who both went on trial for conspiracy to traffic cocaine and were found guilty in February of this year. Bacon received a 12-year sentence, which the Crown is appealing to seek a longer term.
Scott’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for Sept. 19 in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.
Vanalstine was considered a co-founder of the UN Gang along with Clay Roueche, the former leader currently serving a 30-year jail term in the U.S. on drug and money laundering charges.
CFSEU Chief Officer Dan Malo said that during the course of the investigation, Vanalstine and Johnson met with a police agent on several occasions to facilitate the purchase of 100 kilograms of cocaine from Mexico.
The pair provided a $100,000 down payment and took deliv-ery of 100 kg of fake cocaine.
Their sentencing hearing is scheduled for Nov. 5.

An 85-year-old woman whohad just withdrawn moneyfrom a bank was robbed ofher purse and pushed by theculprit on Sunday afternoon inAbbotsford.
Const. Ian MacDonald said thewoman entered the TD CanadaTrust in the 32800 block ofSouth Fraser Way at about 12:45p.m. After making a withdrawal,she drove a short distance andparked on Eagle Street.
A man rapidly approached heras she was getting out of hercar, grabbed her purse, pushedher and ran away.
MacDonald said it’s possiblethat the man had watched thewoman at the bank and thenfollowed her.
Residents in a nearby apart-ment complex heard screamsfor help, attended to the womanand called police.
“She didn’t need any medicalattention, but she is extremelyshaken,” MacDonald said.
Patrol officers and a K9 unitsearched the area, but a suspectwas not located.
MacDonald said at least onewitness saw a person matchingthe culprit’s description headingtoward the area of Mill Lake andthe Bourquin bus exchange.

Blake Chursinoff of Abbotsford has dedicated much of his life to Pines Bible Camp and Retreat Centre near Grand Forks.
He first started attending camp there at age seven, and met his wife, Raelene, at the site 10 years ago when they were both 15.
The couple lived at the camp for three years while Blake served as program director until February 2011.
He was devastated to hear of the freak windstorm that not only damaged many of the buildings on the property on Friday, but took the life of a boy who was in a cabin that was struck by a tree.
The boy suffered serious inju-ries and was rushed to hospital, but he did not survive.
“It’s pretty devastating ... What do you say? It just kind of stuns you. It’s a shock,” Blake said Monday morning.
He and Raelene were discuss-ing the tragedy on Saturday morning, and both felt compelled to do something to help. The camp, which celebrates its 50th anniversary next year, is now closed for the year, but they want to help with its rebirth.
“I have a heart for the place. It’s like my second home ... It’s just so special to so many people,” Blake said.
The couple decided to host a simple fundrais-ing barbecue tonight (Tuesday) to help with rebuilding costs. They planned to invite a few people, but once Raelene posted the event on Facebook, the attention skyrocketed.
“We started thinking we would make 20 hot dogs. Now, we’re thinking maybe 1,000,” Blake said.
The barbecue begins at 6 p.m. at Mountain Park Community Church, 36232 Lower Sumas Mtn. Rd. in Abbotsford.
Blake said this will be the first of many fundrais-ers he and Raelene hope to hold, with a goal to collect $100,000 for Pines Bible Camp.
For more information about the barbecue, visit “Pines Restoration Fundraiser” on Facebook. To make a donation or for more information, visit pinesbiblecamp.com or email [email protected].

An Abbotsford man saved his home from major damage last Wednesday when he used a fire extin-guisher to put out a bathroom blaze.
It was the early afternoon when Gary Ahuja opened the door to the master bedroom of his home in the 3200 block of Rockhill Place and found smoke fill-ing the room.
He immediately traced the source to the en suite, where flames had engulfed the area around the toilet.
Several family mem-bers were home at the time, including Ahuja’s two young children, his parents, and a visiting uncle and nephew. His wife was at work.
He yelled for every-one to leave the home and for his mom to pass him the fire extin-guisher from under the kitchen sink. His wife had purchased the item only about six months earlier.
Ahuja then extin-guished the blaze, and
fire damage was con-tained to the bathroom, while the rest of the home sustained some smoke damage.
Although the family had to stay in a hotel for a few days while the
damage was repaired, Ahuja acknowledges that the situation could have been much worse.
“I’m just happy that everyone got out OK,” he said.
Deputy Fire ChiefMike Helmer said thefire was the result ofan electric ceiling fanthat seized up. The cir-cuit breaker tripped,but not until after thefire started.
Fire damage was contained to the bathroom of an Abbotsford home after the dad’squick actions prevented the blaze from spreading.

Trash options exploredKevin MILLSAbbotsford News
Trash disposal is worth millions, and the city is looking to save dollars as the current contract with Metro is up for bidding two years from now.
Staff are looking for al-ternatives to the Matsqui Transfer Station, a Metro Vancouver-owned facil-ity that processes and ships 51,000 tonnes of garbage a year to the Cache Creek landfill.
The current deal with Metro is expected to expire in 2015 and a request for pro-posals have been issued.
City manager Frank Pizzuto said he expects landfill costs will increase significantly in the near fu-ture. Metro is planning to increase tipping fees by $10 to $30 per tonne each year until 2015.
Abbotsford spent $1.2 mil-lion in 2011 on tipping fees.
There are two private waste management ser-vices in Abbotsford – BFI Canada located at 34321 Industrial Way and First Class Waste Services at 1454 Riverside Road – both in the Huntingdon industrial area.
The companies are already taking business away from Metro, and Pizzuto said ei-ther could bid. He also noted that Metro may also rebid.
Another option could in-volve a company purchas-ing the Matsqui Transfer Station from Metro.
The city’s garbage would likely continue to be sent to Cache Creek, or to a landfill site in the U.S., depending on the bidder.
Metro’s new waste plan in-cludes using waste-to-ener-gy technology to incinerate garbage. The idea has been
controver-sial, espe-cially in the Fraser V a l l e y where many are con-cerned how a major new i n c i n e r a -tion plant would im-
pact the local airshed.“Certainly our council has
openly said that they are opposed to the waste-to-en-ergy and so, if they moved in that direction, certainly Abbotsford would probably consider not being part of that environment,” said Pizzuto.
However, he clarified the decision to request propos-als is primarily a financial one.
Tracy Kyle, the city’s di-rector of water and solid waste, said the tipping fee last year was $92 per tonne, and went up to $108.45 per
tonne this year.The increased fees this
year could result in costs going up another $1 million, but some of that will be off-set by a reduction in the amount of curbside waste collected, due to increased recycling and composting.
Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman said the city isn’t saying it plans to leave Metro’s waste system, rather just keeping options open.
“This is planning ahead before it’s a panic. We have to have options for what we can do.”
While a new local trans-fer station is a possibility, Banman said what is not on the table is creating a land-fill site in Abbotsford.
“That is not going to hap-pen. There is nowhere in Abbotsford to put it.”
Abbotsford’s decision to look at other options is the latest in a series of blows to Metro’s waste plan.
Commercial waste haul-ers are increasingly truck-ing the garbage they collect to private landfills outside Metro Vancouver to avoid high tipping fees and dis-posal bans that are enforced by the regional district.
The developing trend has alarmed Metro Vancouver staff and politicians be-cause every load of garbage that leaves the region means less money is collected in
tipping fees to support the fixed costs of the waste management and recycling system, forcing those fees to climb higher for everyone else.
So far, it’s estimated 50,000 tonnes of waste per year – five per cent of the waste stream – has shifted to pri-vate out-of-region facilities, resulting in a loss of $5 mil-lion per year in tipping fee revenue for Metro. It’s main-ly coming from businesses, industry and multi-family residential buildings served by private haulers.
Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who chairs Metro’s Zero Waste Committee, said the fear is the outward mi-gration of garbage will ac-celerate.
“The reduction could grow exponentially and then you’ve got a real issue,” he said.
“The trend could be a very difficult one if we don’t ad-dress the situation. If you’re taking waste out of the waste stream that means the cost for those who remain is going to increase.”
Brodie said a big chunk of the 50,000 tonnes of out-bound garbage is believed to go to one of Abbotsford’s pri-vate transfer stations, where it’s shipped by rail to a U.S. landfill run by Rabanco near the Washington-Oregon bor-der.
Alternatives to Metro-owned transfer station sought
The Matsqui Transfer Station, owned by Metro Vancouver, processes 51,000 tonnes of garbage a year. The city of Abbotsford is exploring new options to deal with waste.

Driver airlifted after multi-car crash
Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News
A 32-year-old Chilliwack woman who was airlifted to hospital following a multi-car crash Friday morning on Highway 1 in Abbotsford was released from hospital the following day.
A friend of the woman said she suffered three large cuts to her head, believed to have been caused by the roof of the vehicle caving in, and required several stitches and staples. She had no broken bones or spinal damage.
The incident happened at about 10:45 a.m. in the eastbound lanes, just west of the Highway 11 off-ramp.
Two separate accidents occurred. The first involved three or four cars that rear-ended each other in a chain-collision crash, as a result of slippery roads, driver inattention and speed, according to RCMP.
Traffic slowed, and it is believed that a van then rear-ended the Hyundai Accent driven by the woman. This caused the vehicle to spin and collide with a dump truck in the adjacent lane.
Other cars were also involved – up to 10 in total.
The Hyundai flipped on its side and part of it was pinned beneath the dump truck, requiring the driver to be extricated from the vehicle.
She was conscious
and speaking with emergency responders on the scene.
The woman was transported to an air ambulance that had landed on the freeway a distance from the scene and was taken
to Royal Columbian Hospital.
Three other people were taken by ground ambulance to Abbotsford Regional Hospital with less serious injuries.
Both eastbound lanes
were blocked to traffic for some time before opening up to one lane. All westbound lanes were slowed to a crawl. The scene was clear by late afternoon. Alternate feeder routes were also backed up.

on Highway 1. The driver of the car pictured had
lacerations on her head, and was
taken to hospital by air ambulance.
She had no broken bones, and has
been released from hospital.

For me, the road less travelled is best
I should get out more often . . . there’s a whole world out there that has been pass-ing me by.
Just last week I took, for the fi rst time, the “new” Sea to Sky Highway . . . that upgraded for the Winter Olympics route from Horseshoe Bay to Whistler.
Time, however, restricted my adven-ture to just the “Sea” part, for my destina-tion was Squamish which, while basking in lots of sky, is barely 20 feet or so above high tide.
The purpose of my visit was to assist the Squamish Public Library’s newspa-per archives, and sign over the use of photographs and other historical bits that came from the newspaper I pub-lished some 20 years ago.
That newspaper, and a couple of others in Whistler, were along with me “retired” from active duty in 1993 and the accumulated boxes of donated photo-graphs, negatives and other newspaper
detritus languished until recently in a storeroom. However, the library could not technically use it until they acquired “copyright”. Thus, apparently, a search began for the last known purveyor of said newspapers … yours truly.
A couple of weeks ago an email popped into my inbox asking if I was the same Mark Rushton who was publisher of the Squamish Times when it succumbed to the throes of fi scal death.
I was, I replied, and agreed not only to sign over use of the archives but would do it in person.
So last Wednesday found me rolling up the coast expecting, from all that I had heard over the past couple of years about this spectacular “millionaires’ highway,” to be blown away by the grandeur, ease of travel and cost to create same.
While disappointment isn’t the word I’d use to describe it after travelling the old route so many times, I was surprised at how little things had actually changed. There were a few sections that had been widened, but still lots remain just two lanes, and in those sections I’d guess the route is still as dangerous to speeders as it has been for decades. Further north to Whistler, may reveal greater improve-ments, but that’s for another trip.
I managed to drive from Abbotsford to Squamish in about an hour and half, very close to what it took me 20 years ago. I knew coming home however, would be different story, and it was.
I left Squamish with hopes of hitting Highway 1 well before the eastbound rush began. Just my luck when I reached Horseshoe Bay, a ferry was disgorging
vehicles. Then a couple of miles later, tree trimmers had one of the lanes blocked. Following that it was smooth sailing until the south end of the Second Narrows Bridge, where a ship was obviously, from all the container trucks entering the freeway, unloading its cargo. Traffi c was again at a crawl.
Then I watched in disgust as car after single-occupant car passed me in the
HOV lanes. My lanes was stop and go, bumper to bumper, at a snail’s pace, whilethe fl agrant abusers were sailing by. I’d guess at least 10 per cent of HOV users, perhaps closer to 15, were cheating.
As each one zipped by my sorely-tempted-to-disregard ‘lawabidedness’, I yelled out the open window a special epitaph of contempt.
I was almost hoarse, and close to run-ning out of “bad words” from my rather extensive repertoire of invectives, when lo and behold, just where the Skytrain guideway arches over the freeway, there were four cop cars in the median … and a whole whack of fl agrant HOV abusers pulled over for pricey tickets.
That made my day, and with the few ‘words’ left over I muttered to myself about the idiots who slow to a crawl to ‘looky-loo’ whenever a cop has someone pulled over because, as soon as I passed the pullout of perpetrators, all traffi c fl owed at (or above) posted speeds all the way home.
When I do get out again, it will be eastbound. In the time it took me from Horseshoe Bay to Abbotsford I could have driven all the way to Merritt, and berelaxing on a lake in my “new” boat!
Who says it doesn’t pay to be a politician? With the B.C. Liberals in a freefall and the provincial election 10 months away, a number of MLAs have decided to leave politics.
Much is made by some about the sacrifi ces made by politicians, of the time spent away from family, of the decision to take a break from their career passion – all to serve the pub-lic good. While it is always admirable to see men and women take an active part in the democratic process, make no mistake – it is a decision that often pays dividends far beyond anything a working stiff will ever realize.
Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer is one of the latest B.C. Liberals to decide against seeking re-election next year. According to Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF) fi gures, Hayer’s 12 years in office will give him an annual pension that will start at $47,600 when he turns 65 and climb to $62,900 when he turns 80.
The CTF estimates Kamloops-South
Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger will enjoy an annual pension of $87,700 when he turns 65, rising to $115,700 when he turns 80.
The MLA pension plan is indeed gold-plated as taxpayers chip in $4 for every dollar the MLA contributes.
The B.C. Liberals, under then-leader Gordon Campbell, campaigned in the 1996 election against exorbitant pension plans. The NDP won and implemented a reasonable plan, in which taxpayers match every dollar the MLA contributed. In 2007, how-ever, Campbell reversed his position and brought back a ridiculously rich pension, even allowing MLAs to buy back years lost.
Political pension plans are a dis-grace and do nothing to counter the perception (which is reality) that entering the political arena is the path to setting yourself up for life, with your retirement funded well by taxpayers who can barely get by.

communities was an effective way to com-municate.
With the recent appli-cation to extract cheap agricultural land from the ALR and rezone it to a much greater value per acre, our lifestyle will be irrevocably altered, and the NAC area will be inundated
with industrial trucks on country roads not designed to carry this traffic or volumes.
I believe that the communities within the NAC need to form a coalition which then
reaches a consensus, and presents such to council as an undi-vided, powerful voice.
A coalition is both urgent and is needed now.
If you agree, contact
your local communityleaders, and expressyour support.

Court too easyon Brent Parent
Re: Appeal in road-rage trial, Monique Tamminga, July 10, edition.
In 2008 Brent Parent ran the vehicle that 21 year-old Silas O’Brien was in off the road, then did a u-turn and ran Silas over with his vehicle. The courts sentenced Parent to 5.5 years. Parent should have been convicted of at least second degree homicide for his actions, but once again, the courts show leniency to those with lengthy criminal convictions.
Parent has 64 driving convictions along with five driving suspensions. Why was he even driv-ing in the first place? My question is this: when will the government grow some backbone and remove judges who are soft hearted towards those that are a danger to society?

Hold the line on city salariesRe: Comment by Coun. Henry Braun – city
payroll increases “unsustainable.”Although a “no-brainer” conclusion by Coun.
Braun, no doubt supported by the vast majority of city taxpayers as we struggle prudently to manage expenses within available incomes, I have little doubt the general trend in council is to build generous annual increases into payroll forecasts – and I wonder why?
Why is it apparently impossible to limit pay increases to annual inflation?
Why is it thought necessary to award city employees salaries and benefits far in excess of those awarded the average non-government worker?
“Well,” most councillors may reply, “that’s just the way it’s always been around here, so if it’s not broken, why fix it?” Or, as suggested by Coun. Braun, perhaps one needs to be a foren-sic accountant to understand the $3.5-million payroll increase this past year. Perhaps best for councillors to bury their collective heads in the sand, rather than risk exposing fiscal imagina-tion, or disinterest.
Avoiding or acquiescing to city employee demands by showering excessive increases on them is just too simplistic a fix, and of course “unsustainable.” How about creating a cost-limiting wages and benefits paradigm that will cause other cities to view with admira-tion Abbotsford council’s renewed commitment toward practical, sustainable budgeting?
Couple of basic suggestions you may wish toconsider: Stop believing it is necessary to paytop dollar to attract the best management. Thefallacy of this policy has on many occasionsbeen confirmed in the international media whensupposed “best person for the job” executivesmake financially disastrous decisions – followedby an incomprehensible commitment to sendthe executive packing with an outrageouslyexcessive termination package, and lame “wehad no choice” comment from the employer.Was the employer representative asleep whenthe hiring package was negotiated?
I have no doubt the majority of city employeesare hard-working, seriously committed to mak-ing Abbotsford a wonderful environment inwhich to live. However, if their argument is thatLangley, or perhaps Surrey, pay their employeeshigher wages and benefits for similar work,wish them well as they pack up and depart forsupposed greener pastures.
Everyone can be replaced. With few excep-tions, I bet each vacant position could quickly befilled by Abbotsford residents, each one enthu-siastic to win a city job with current attractiveremuneration package – even if forewarned notto expect further increases in excess of inflationfor the next five years.
To demonstrate my point, you can place myapplication on top of the pile. I’ll be happy starton Monday, with work boots or briefcase.
T. Jones
The fact that Abbotsford is blazing new standards in not treating addiction, overdoses, and disease is not all that amazing.
These problems, which cannot be railroad-ed out of town to the city limits or driven underground where they cannot be treated, are a rather sad statement on this city’s values.
This is a social health issue, but given the politics of Abbotsford, it has become more than that.
This is not a time to turn our backs on the less fortunate, or bury our heads in the sand, but to embrace those with problems and
provide assistance, caring, and hope to them.As we have moved proudly from a town to
a modern city, we have to act like one. Thismeans solving our problems at home and notsweeping them under the carpet.
Affirmative action at the leadership level ofour community is what is needed.
An attitude of see nothing, hear nothing, donothing, leads nowhere.
It is simply a revolving door, avoiding thesame problem that compounds itself over andover again.

Careen acquittedof theft charges
Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News
A former teacher who was convicted of sending sexual text messages to a student has been acquitted of all charges in a separate case.
Martin Careen, 53, was found not guilty on July 16 in Abbotsford provincial court of theft, obstructing a peace officer and assault with a weapon.
Careen was accused on April 26, 2010 of shoplift-ing toiletry items from the Real Canadian Superstore on Gladwin Road, pushing one of the loss preven-tion officers (LPO) who had approached him, and fleeing in his mini van.
While driving away, it was alleged that the passenger side mirror of his vehicle hit one
of the LPO’s, hurting hisarm.
Careen was later arrestedat his home and charged.
In May of this year, Careenwas sentenced to 60 days inprison for his convictionon a charge of invitation tosexual touching.
The charge stemmed froma January 2009 text conver-sation he had with a femalestudent, then 17, that turnedsexual in nature. Careenwas a teacher at St. JohnBrebeuf Regional Secondary– a private Catholic school –at the time.
He is no longer permit-ted to teach and is now
employed as an office workerat a construction company.

51 Focused or Filler: Most electricians prefer new construction or big projects and consider
home renovations and repairs an interruption to their day. At Blue Crest Electric we focus on the homeowner. We love home renovations and take great pride in our installations. Our broad scope of knowledge and experience means that troubleshooting and problem solving are our specialty.
2 Appointments: Most electricians don’t make actual appointments. Instead, they say something like, “I’ll be there Tuesday” or “some time next week”. Meanwhile you waste a lot of time waiting, wondering if you should risk going out in case he should show up. When you call Blue Crest Electric for an appointment, we arrange for our actual arrival time so you can go about your day with the least amount of inconvenience, and we keep our appointments. Guaranteed.
3 Invoice Overload: This is what happens when you get a ‘ball-park estimate’ or are charged for ‘time & material’ and the electrician gets paid more the longer he takes to complete the job. At Blue Crest Electric we take exception to this practice. We show you the guaranteed exact amount you’ll pay before the project begins. In most cases we will even provide several cost options so you can choose what is right for your budget.
4 Don’t have the parts: Other electricians do not stock their trucks like we do. This usually results in 2, 3 or even 4 trips before your problem is fi xed and is all added to the time charged on your invoice. Blue Crest Electric trucks are stocked with more parts so we can fi x your problem the fi rst time.
5 Guarantees: Ask other electricians if they guarantee their work, and for how long, and you’re likely to get a blank stare or you should be informed of their ‘concrete guarantee’ which lasts as long as they are standing on your concrete driveway. At Blue Crest Electric, your satisfaction is 111% guaranteed. If you’re unhappy with our work for any reason, we’ll redo it. Free. We want you to be more than just 100% satisfi ed. We want you to tell your friends good things about us.
ALL WORK PERFORMED TO YOUR COMPLETE SATISFACTION BY RELIABLE, TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL PROFESSIONALS.

Grant for Youth Health CentreThe Abbotsford
Youth Health Centre (AYHC) has received a $10,000 grant from the Oak Tree Foundation, enabling it to keeps its doors open through the
fall.The AYHC current-
ly operates out of Abbotsford Regional Hospital, but funding has been a struggle, said Brian Gross, an AYHC co-chair and executive director at Impact Youth Substance Abuse Services.
“We’re still in urgent need of funds. We’re running
on nearly 60 per cent volunteer time, which isn’t sustain-able over the long term,” he said.
The AYHC began operating out of the hospital in November 2010, offering services for young people ages 12 to 24 every Tuesday and Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m.
One of those two days will move to
Bakerview Learning Centre in September.
The centre is staffed by a physician, who sees young people with everything from basic health concerns such as colds and coughs to more serious issues such as depression and substance use.
Many of the youths are not comfortable approaching their
parents with theirhealth concerns, orthey do not have afamily doctor.
Fraser Health paysa doctor for oneof the days, whilethe Ministry ofChildren and FamilyDevelopment paysfor the other.
“For Fraser Health,there couldn’t be abetter model thanone that enables andencourages youth toactively seek helpfor their problemsbefore they reachcrisis points and endup in the ER,” saidDavid Portesi, FraserHealth public healthdirector.
The latest grantfrom the Oak TreeFoundation isoverseen by theRedekop family.A member of thefamily, JoanneHamm, volunteersas the AYHC’s “nursenavigator” and helpsco-ordinate theadvocacy supportworkers.

Peardonville House Treatment Centre began in 1987 as a supportive recovery house for Abbotsford women facing addiction, and has since served more than 3,000 clients through intensive treatment programs. The centre celebrated 25 years in operation with an open house barbecue at 825 Peardonville Road on Saturday, July 21. The event was an opportunity for members of the community to meet the many people responsible for the success of Peardonville House, including former residents, staff, board members and donors. Peardonville House has undergone several changes over the years, including upgrades and added programs, and currently has a total of 40 beds for women with addiction issues.
A major success for the facility is the “Mom and Kids” program, which allows under-age school children to live with their mothers during the recovery process, and remains the only one of its kind in the province. Milt Walker has been with the organization since it began 25 years ago, and currently serves as executive director of the Kinghaven Society, the men’s recovery centre that operates Peardonville House.
As the only all-women resource centre in the Fraser Valley that also offers the benefi t of fully licensed child care, Walker believes it is an “essential service” for Abbotsford. “Our goal is to assist women who often arrive defeated and destroyed and help them regain their self-esteem and self-worth and leave us with a renewed sense of self and pride in their accomplishments,” explained Walker. “We have had a number of women complete or begin a university education and enter the workforce as productive citizens.”
Peardonville House offers a mix of programs to help women reach their goals
and maintain sobriety, including education classes on certain aspects of
addiction, recovery and aftercare, parenting classes for those who serve
with children in residence, art therapy, yoga, and Bible study.
Other services include a three-month stabilization and transitional living program,
a 70-day intensive treatment program and detoxifi cation. The women also attend
a “variety of 12-step meetings in-house and in the community, and are assigned an
individual counsellor who they will see on a one-to-one basis throughout the program,”
said Walker. “Some may not make it the fi rst time, but the seed of recovery has been
planted and will take root with enough encouragement and support.”
Although a career at Peardonville House can be both “challenging and rewarding,”
Walker noted that the staff are always “particularly pleased when families are reunited
with a loved one who has regained a clean and sober lifestyle.” He attributed the last 25
years of success to the “commitment of the residents to begin a new lifestyle,” and also
to those dedicated past and present staff members who have “provided their expertise
in the recovery journey.” Walker believes that there are “no failures when you leave the
door open to those who have the courage to ask for help,” which is why the hope for
the future of Peardonville House is simply to continue to “serve the needs of those who
come through that door.”

A major success for the facility is the “Mom and Kids” program, which allows under-age school children to live with their mothers during the recovery process, and remains the only one of its kind in the province. Milt Walker has been with the organization since it began 25 years ago, and currently serves as executive director of the Kinghaven Society, the men’s recovery centre that operates Peardonville House.
As the only all-women resource centre in the Fraser Valley that also offers the benefi t of fully licensed child care, Walker believes it is an “essential service” for Abbotsford. “Our goal is to assist women who often arrive defeated and destroyed and help them regain their self-esteem and self-worth and leave us with a renewed sense of self and pride in their accomplishments,” explained Walker. “We have had a number of women complete or begin a university education and enter the workforce as productive citizens.”
Peardonville House offers a mix of programs to help women reach their goals
and maintain sobriety, including education classes on certain aspects of
addiction, recovery and aftercare, parenting classes for those who serve
with children in residence, art therapy, yoga, and Bible study.
Other services include a three-month stabilization and transitional living program,
a 70-day intensive treatment program and detoxifi cation. The women also attend
a “variety of 12-step meetings in-house and in the community, and are assigned an
individual counsellor who they will see on a one-to-one basis throughout the program,”
said Walker. “Some may not make it the fi rst time, but the seed of recovery has been
planted and will take root with enough encouragement and support.”
Although a career at Peardonville House can be both “challenging and rewarding,”
Walker noted that the staff are always “particularly pleased when families are reunited
with a loved one who has regained a clean and sober lifestyle.” He attributed the last 25
years of success to the “commitment of the residents to begin a new lifestyle,” and also
to those dedicated past and present staff members who have “provided their expertise
in the recovery journey.” Walker believes that there are “no failures when you leave the
door open to those who have the courage to ask for help,” which is why the hope for
the future of Peardonville House is simply to continue to “serve the needs of those who
come through that door.”

Local athletes make major medal haul at BC Games
Dan KINVIGAbbotsford News
Dominant efforts on the wrestling mat and the rugby pitch highlighted a series of terrific local results at the BC Summer Games.
All told, Abbotsford athletes brought home 24 medals from the Games, which were centered in Surrey.
• Four local wrestlers won gold in their respec-tive weight classes – Harman Basran (54 kg), Matt Dignan (57 kg), Justin Gill (70 kg) and Devin Purewal (84 kg). Additionally, Dave Sharma won silver at 51 kg.
• The Fraser Valley regional rugby teams were absurdly dominant, and Abby athletes figured in heavily. The girls final was an all-Fraser Valley affair, with the region’s first team knocking off the second team 29-5. The gold medal-winning side featured Lauren Kerr, Sophia DeGianni, Kay Olsen, Shelby Pihl and Gurpreet Dhaliwal, while silver medal-ists included Autumn Garrett, Tiffany Picketts and Rachelle Wenting.
• The boys rugby tournament also saw two Valley teams climb
the podium. Valley 1, featuring Abbotsford’s Colton Lavoie, Kyle Davis, Joshua Long, Thomas Rennie, Adaio Spathelfer and Chris Combs, claimed the
gold with a 12-5 win over Vancouver Island-Central Coast.
The Valley 2 squad, which included Caleb Lamboo, Matthew Ponte, Evan Johnston,
Joel Ratzlaff and Matthew Fraser, clinched bronze with a 19-0 win over Vancouver-Squamish.

COME IN FOR YOUR TEST DRIVE!
Kaminski is Bearcats’ new athletic directorDan KINVIGAbbotsford News
Matt Kaminski is trading his Columbia Bible College Bearcats jersey for a shirt and tie.
The 26-year-old, who was playing volleyball for the Bearcats as
recently as March, was named the Abbotsford school’s interim ath-letic director earlier this week. He replaces Rocky Olfert, who is moving across town to take the reins of the University of the Fraser Valley athletic
department.Kaminski graduated
from CBC in 2011 with a bachelor of arts in intercultural studies, and began the 2011-12 school year as an assis-tant AD under Olfert. He re-enrolled in the second semester and
suited up again with the Bearcats volleyball men, helping them to a fourth-place finish at the CCAA nationals, which they also hosted.
CBC has four sports programs in the PacWest college league – men’s and women’s
basketball and volley-ball.
“It’s a huge oppor-tunity for someonemy age to be movinginto a role like this,”Kaminski acknowl-edged. “But I also feelI’ve been around CBCas a player, and last yearas assistant athleticdirector, so I’ve learnedquite a bit about howthings work aroundhere. I’m more excitedthan anything.”
Kaminski said theinterim l a b e l s t e m s from the fact his current resumé lacks ele-m e n t s outlined in the job description,namely a master’sdegree and three tofive years experiencein a similar role. ButOlfert’s hiring byUFV in mid-June leftlittle time for a com-prehensive search for areplacement. Kaminskihopes to stay at CBClong-term – he’ll be upfor review in the springwhen his one-year con-tract expires, and he’sopen to pursuing hismaster’s eventually.
He intends to take a“holistic” approach todeveloping athletes,emphasizing spiritualand academic growthalong with athleticimprovement.
“Wins and losses anddoing well athleticallyare important to us,but there’s definitelymore to CBC athletics,”he said.
WIENS NAMED MEN’S
VOLLEYBALL COACH
The other half ofOlfert’s portfolio atCBC, the men’s volley-ball head coaching job,will be taken on by PhilWiens.
Wiens played five sea-sons with the Bearcats,and served as assistantcoach the past twoyears. He helped guidethe team to a CCAAgold medal in 2010-11,along with the fourth-place finish in 2011-12.The CBC volleyballmen also won PacWestsilver and bronze med-als during that stretch.
“I am very excitedfor the opportunityto build on the stronglegacy that the previ-ous coaches have devel-oped,” Wiens said in apress release. “I amalso looking forward tojoining the dedicatedstaff that run the CBCathletics department,and actively servingin mentoring student-athletes.”

Hadwin primed for Canadian Open return
Dan KINVIGAbbotsford News
Last Friday, Adam Hadwin was back home in Abbotsford to play in the RBC Dominion Securities Pro-Am, a one-day Vancouver Golf Tour event at Ledgeview Golf and Country Club.
This week, the 24-year-old pro will participate in another RBC-sponsored tourna-ment that he’s had circled on his calender for quite some time – the Canadian Open.
The PGA Tour stop, which opens Thursday at Hamilton Golf and Country Club, boasts a somewhat higher profile than the local tourney, along with a bigger purse ($5.2 million compared to $10,000). It’s also the event that thrust Hadwin into the nation-al media spotlight one year ago.
At the 2011 RBC Canadian Open at Vancouver’s Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club, Hadwin thrilled Canadian golf fans by contending for the title on the final day, before finishing in a tie for fourth. He’s hoping to channel some of those good vibes this week.
“I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “It’s an event that gets the juices flowing no matter how poorly or how well you’re playing up to that point. You just get re-energized.”
Hadwin tied for fifth at Ledgeview last Friday, carding a four-under 66 to earn $716.67. Matt Daniel took home the $2,000 first prize after firing a scorching 62, three strokes better than runners-up Ryan Williams, Bryn Parry and Shane Prante.
Hadwin, a regular on the Web.com Tour this season, said the Ledgeview event was a last-minute addition to his schedule.
“If it was anywhere
else, I probably wouldn’t have gone and played, but it’s just a quick five-minute drive up the hill from my house,” said Hadwin, who is 55th on the Web.com Tour order of merit. “It’s always fun to come back and play this golf course.”
Hadwin will have company at the Canadian Open. Fellow Abbotsford pro Nick Taylor was granted an exemption on Monday morning and will join him in the field.
Taylor sits ninth on the Canadian Tour order of merit.
Adam Hadwin par-ticipated in the RBC Dominion Securities Pro-Am at Ledgeview on Friday, finishing in fifth place. Last Thursday, he and his brother Kyle accepted a cheque for the C.H.I.L.D. Foundation from Ledgeview Ladies Amateur organizers Heather Shaw and Grace Rustulka.NEIL CORBETT Abbotsford News

Early exit for SlammersDan KINVIGAbbotsford News
Surveying the depth of talent at the B.C. senior women’s softball championships, held at Exhibition Park on the weekend, Abbotsford Slammers coach Roy Ferraro felt it was any-one’s ballgame.
Ultimately, it just wasn’t to be for the host Slammers, as they made an early exit from the ‘B’ division playoffs.
Rain delayed the start of the tournament on Friday, washing away all of the morning round-robin games. That limited teams to
just one game in the preliminary round, and the Abby squad got off to a promising start, beating the Delta Spirit 7-2.
But when the double-knockout playoffs began Saturday, the Slammers were eliminated in short order, losing their first two games.
The Vancouver Spirit claimed the ‘B’ cham-pionship, edging the Surrey Steelers 7-6 in the final, while Delta won bronze.
The Slammers were the lone local team in the field, and Ferraro felt they were capable of a better finish. They’d defeated Vancouver in the final of a tourney in Cloverdale a couple weeks back, and had beaten Delta in the round robin.
“It was a very tough competition, and on another day, you might see three different (medalists) at the top,”
he said. “Hats off tothe Vancouver Spirit.They’ve got a greatclub, and they deservedto win it. You’ve got tobe on your game all theway through.”
In the ‘A’ division, theSurrey Storm juniorstook gold, beating theNew Westminster Kaosin the final. Bronzewent to the CoquitlamClassics.
The Slammers arecomprised of playersin their early 20s, andFerraro has coachedthis group for years.Two players – his daugh-ter Shayla and AndreaSigmund – have playedfor him since they weresix years old.
“It’s been a long ride,”he said. “It’s a goodgroup of girls, and thatmakes it fun.”
Shayla Ferraro of the Abbotsford Slammers smacks a line drive during the B.C. senior women’s provincials at Exhibition Park.

Blueliner Tuzzolino re-signs with HeatThe Abbotsford Heat have
signed defenceman Nick Tuzzolino to a one-year AHL contract.
Tuzzolino played well enough during a late-season audition with the Heat to earn the new deal. He’d attended training camp in Abbotsford before being assigned to the ECHL’s Utah
Grizzlies, where he was named team captain.
The Buffalo, N.Y. native was called up by the Heat for a short stint in December, then rejoined the team for good in March. He ended up playing 13 regular season games and seven playoff contests.
The 6’5”, 225-pound blueliner’s
most memorable moment came in the regular season finale against the Toronto Marlies – he scored two goals, including the game-winner in overtime as the Heat won 5-4.
“Nick’s consistent play with the Utah Grizzlies during the 2011-12 regular season put him in a position to be with us on a
full-time basis from the end of March through the conclusion of last season’s playoffs,” Heat head coach Troy Ward stated in a press release.
“Nick uses his size well and provided us with steady play over the final two months of the season. We are extremely excited about Nick being back with us.”
the local track and field contingent, clearing 2.8 metres to win gold in the pole vault. Other medalists included Alicia Unruh (bronze, girls 2000m), Jeewan Grewal (bronze, boys hammer), Paige Norton (bronze, Special Olympics girls 800m) and Paige Bergen (silver, 4x100m girls relay).
• Alanna Stobbe was member of the Fraser Valley synchronized swimming team which won Level 5 team title and the overall aggre-gate gold.
• Abbotsford’s Albert Dyck Park was the host site for the towed watersports compe-titions, and local product Adam Lehner won gold in the junior men’s barefoot and was part of the Valley’s aggregate silver medal-winning squad. (For more coverage of the towed watersports, visit abbynews.com)
• Janelle Roed and Emma Darvill helped the Valley equestrian team to the aggregate gold medal, and Roed added a silver in the vaulting event.
• Marshall Abrey, Corey Jackson and Matthew Selinger helped the Fraser Valley baseball team to a silver medal. They sustained an 8-1 loss to Vancouver-Squamish in the title game.
• The Valley boys volleyball team, featur-ing Jordan Koslowsky, Quinn Sojonky and Jonah Swanson, took silver after falling in three sets to Vancouver Island-Central Coast in the final.
• Six local boys basket-ball players – Riley Braich, Chase Clark, Mandave Dhadda, Gagandeep Gill, Jordyn Sekhon and Michael Vanderwerff – helped the Valley second team upset the first team 41-39 in the bronze medal game.
• Tanner Myer and the Valley inline hockey team edged Cariboo-Northeast 4-3 to claim the bronze.
