It was the searing heat that awoke Charlie Paul-Ranger, and then the flames bolted him out of bed.

Charlie had been asleep in the master bed-room of the McKenzie Road home at about 10 p.m. on Saturday while his wife, Joanne, was attending the Crystal Gala breast cancer

fundraiser in Abbotsford.His two stepsons Tyler, 23, and Adam, 28,

were in their rooms.Charlie quickly tried to put out the fire, but

it was already too far out of control and was creeping up the wall.

He flew from the room and screamed “Fire!” to his stepsons.

The acrid smoke was beginning to fill the home, and the young men didn’t have

enough time to grab even their shoes.The three men escaped safely, along with

their dog and three cats.Joanne arrived home to see multiple fire

trucks on the scene, as well as paramedics and police officers.

Crews had arrived to find heavy smoke and flames coming from what appeared to be the garage of the home.

Homeless cabins removedStructures dismantled by city within hours of construction

Tyler OLSENAbbotsford News

City workers have re-moved several shelters built Monday at the Gladys Avenue home-less camp.

Small cabins were constructed out of ply-wood, but were only in place for a short time before the city moved in Monday after-noon and again early Tuesday morning, said Barry Shantz, founder of the Abbotsford chap-ter of the B.C./Yukon Drug War Survivors (DWS).

Shantz said the struc-tures were erected one year to the day since his group began a homeless protest in Jubilee Park.

That camp was dis-mantled in December, after which two large clusters of tents went up on Gladys Avenue. One of them – across from the Salvation Army – was dismantled in the summer. Since then, the other located near Cyril Street, has

grown substantially.Shantz said crack-

downs on other home-less camp spots around the city have contrib-uted to the expansion of the Gladys encamp-ment.

He said the structures are needed because of a lack of space and the approach of winter.

“This camp is so crowded and swelling, it’s a danger to every-body.”

Shantz said work-ers took down three of five structures Monday afternoon, before re-turning overnight to dismantle the two re-maining cabins and two more that had just been built.

Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman said the city won’t permit structures to be built on what is a road right-of-way.

“We cannot allow il-

legal and potentially unsafe structures to be built on the road-side,” Banman said. “Structures on road right-of-ways are ille-gal, unsafe and they’re against city bylaws.

“There is a drastic difference between a tent and a wooden structure.”

Banman said the site is “being respected by the city as a protest.”

Asked if that ap-

proach will continue, he said, “The city will evaluate that as we go along.”

He added that the homeless are being of-fered help.

“There are shelter spaces available if the folks who are there want to accept the help that has been offered to them.”

In late September, a B.C. Supreme Court justice ruled that a law-suit filed against the city on behalf of the homeless, which con-tends that the city’s by-laws against camping in parks are unconsti-tutional, could proceed.

The DWS, with the assistance of the Pivot Legal Society, had filed the lawsuit after being evicted from Jubilee Park. The City of Abbotsford argued that the suit was too broad, but Justice Christopher Hinkson ruled that the application could pro-ceed. Pivot said they hope the lawsuit would go to trial in 2015.

Homeless advocates say a camp on Gladys Avenue has become overcrowded.TYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News

Alex BUTLERAbbotsford News

A proposal that would rezone land on Gladys Avenue to allow for housing for the homeless was given first approval by council and will move to public hearing on Nov. 3.

The properties are on the west side of Gladys Avenue, just north of George Ferguson Way, and are being rezoned to allow for a low-barrier supportive hous-ing project – where support services like counselling, addiction treatment and more are provided to residents – with the hope of securing provincial funding.

While all of council voted to give the proposal first and second reading, Coun. Henry Braun called it a “poor second choice” to a former proposal for a 21-bed supportive housing project put forward by Abbotsford Community Services (ACS) at 2408 Montvue Ave., across from their headquarters.

In February, a tie vote defeated the project. Some of the opposition was due to the location of the project, particularly from the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association (ADBA), which objected to its location in the C7 zone, a special down-town city zone that prohibits supportive

recovery use. The Gladys location is not in the C7

zone and the ADBA has provided a letter of support for the current proposal.

But Braun said the city now must do-nate the land for the project at a cost to taxpayers, while the ACS project land was donated by that organiza-tion.

He estimated that each of the eight lots in question could be sold for $200,000, meaning tax-payers will be giving up land with a “value of $1.6 million.”

The city has said the BC Assessment value of the proper-ties to be rezoned is currently $876,300, but the current value is tied to the properties’ existing zoning.

Coun. John Smith said they have “got to move on” and back this project which has support from the ADBA. He said that he doesn’t think $1.6 million is an accu-rate assessment of the land and that the project is needed.

Smith said he hopes the rezoning will encourage BC Housing, the provincial agency responsible for affordable hous-ing, to provide funds for a project.

For the bylaw to be adopted, the city must register a covenant to prohibit

emergency shelters from the site and have the Ministry of Transportation sign the bylaw.

Many neighbours of the proposed site do not support the rezoning process.

A report from staff said that at the Oct. 1 public information meeting on the pro-

posal, 61 comment sheets were returned to city staff with nine attendees in support, 48 people opposed and four undecided.

Peter de Jong, who has lived near the proposed site for many years, organized a petition to op-pose the city’s plan.

On Sunday, he was at the Gladys location to give neigh-bours a chance to add their voice

to the opposition. He said the neighbourhood already ex-

periences high rates of crime – he has personally experienced four incidents of theft – and is concerned the proposal would only add to the issues they face.

“Our neighbourhood has been under siege due to lawlessness.”

He said about 100 people have signed the petition against the project as many residents in the area do not feel safe and are worried about the impact a housing project would have on their community.

Fire destroyed the master bedroom of a home on McKenzie Road on Saturday night. Submitted Photo

From A1

They later discovered that this area was in fact the master bed-room, and it was where Charlie had been sleep-ing.

The cause of the blaze is believed to be electrical in nature.

In the days follow-ing the fire, the family, who had been renting the home for the last four years, has been better able to assess the damage, discover-ing that almost noth-ing is salvageable.

Everything in the main bedroom has been destroyed, except for a pine box filled with photo albums. Heavy smoke in the rest of the home coat-ed much of their be-longings with a thick soot and extreme heat melted several items.

The four did not have tenants’ insurance to cover the losses.

Joanne works as a flagger, and Charlie works in a steel yard. Adam is collecting workers’ compensa-tion after catching

both of his hands in a machine at a rub-ber-products manufac-turer, where Tyler also is employed.

Although they have money coming in, re-placing all their be-longings will be a hardship, and family friend Keri Buzikievich wants to help.

She can only col-lect clothes for now, as there is no storage for furniture and other household items. (Charlie, Joanne, Tyler and Adam are current-ly staying with friends and family as they search for new accom-modation.)

Buzikievich is asking for donations of men’s clothing in shirt sizes large and extra-large and pants with waist sizes 36, 38 and 40. Also needed are shoes in sizes 12 and 13.

She is also asking for women’s clothing in size 14 for pants and size large for shirts, as well as shoes in a size 10. Buzikievich would also like to replace Joanne’s flagger’s gear

(size 10.5 for work boots and large or extra-large for the coveralls). Anyone with items to donate is asked to call Buzikievich at 778-779-

1369 to arrange drop-off.

The family is also hoping to track down one of their cats that made it out of the fire

but has since gone missing. “Garfield” is a large orange cat, and if anyone finds him, they are asked to contact Adam at 778-344-1790.

Candidate challenged over presidency labelDimanno’s Abbotsford Ratepayers Association dissolved in 2012


A council hopeful has challenged candidate Vince Dimanno over the active status of his Abbotsford Ratepayers Association (ARA), which was officially dis-solved more than two years ago.

Dimanno’s biography on the AbbotsfordFirst website – he is one can-didate in a slate of five members – states he is currently the presi-dent of the ARA. He has also been cited in other media reports this year as being the ARA presi-dent.

Gerda Peachey, who previously ran unsuc-cessfully for the mayor’s seat, has taken issue with the reference, al-leging the ARA is a “phantom” organiza-tion.

The News contacted BC Registry Services on Aug. 14 to obtain the so-ciety summary for the ARA. It states that the society, incorporated on June 24, 2008, was dis-solved on April 13, 2012 for failure to file reports, indicating that the last annual report filed is “not available” and the listing under last annual general meeting (AGM) says “no AGM” held.

On Tuesday, a rep-resentative from BC Registry Services said the ARA never filed an annual report with the registry.

Dimanno said the last meeting of the as-sociation was last year, though he did not know exactly when. He in-dicated the ARA has a constitution that stipu-lates the organization must maintain a cer-tain number of direc-tors in order to remain a society. He said no one stepped forward to be a director and he was un-able to file papers with-out a minimum num-ber, according to the Society Act, and as such, he can’t call a meeting.

He said that while the ARA does not have a

secretary, a vice-presi-dent or the required board members, “I am still the president and I am until such time as I have to step down.”

He said his role as president continues as he maintains records, a bank account, and communicates with about 90 paid members he says the or-ganization has.

D i m a n n o noted that many associations are not registered as official societies, despite having presidents and executives, and added that if enough directors step forward, the group would reconstitute.

But Peachey, who said

she attended meetings when the organization began, but did not be-come a member, said Dimanno’s reference to his presidency may cre-ate a public perception that the ARA is “a cur-

rent, registered association.”

When asked by The News if he could pro-vide financial statements for the association, Dimanno said “we can talk to some lawyers about that.”

Dimanno said he is considering libel ac-tion against Peachey. During an interview, he cautioned The News on several occasions in respect to potential

legal action. He said the ARA has nothing to do with the election, and the fact that the soci-ety had been dissolved by the registry is irrel-evant to its operations.

“To say it has any-thing to do with that is ... a personal attack on me...”

On Oct. 13, a notice posted on the ARA website said that while some individuals had asked for a member-ship list and financial statements “no mem-ber will be (sic) have his or her name revealed to this group, or the media, without your expressed consent.”

In a letter from Dimanno posted on Oct. 11 on the Abbotsford Today – a

website of which he is the co-owner – he says the society was dis-solved by the provincial registry last year “but not due to a lack of ac-tivity.”

A call to the phone number listed on the ARA website led to a message that the num-ber is no longer in use. Dimanno said they stopped paying for the toll-free number a year ago. After The News spoke with Dimanno, the phone number on the website changed.

In addition, a notice on the website stated the ARA “meets regular-ly and General Meeting notices are posted on this site and sent out to Members by email … We meet at Bethel

Reformed Church on Gladwin Road. Doors open at 6:30pm and weconvene by 7:00pm.”

A church official told The News that the or-ganization has not metthere “for a long time.”

Following The Newsinterview and Peachy’semails, the websitewas changed to say theARA “meets quarterly(based on confirmed at-tendance) and GeneralMeeting notices aresent out to Members byemail.”

The copyright on thewebpage was also up-dated from 2012 to 2014.

Dimanno is running with the AbbotsfordFirstslate along with SandyBlue, Kelly Chahal,Brenda Falk and RossSiemens.

The deadline for the withdrawal of candi-dates for the munici-pal election expired on Friday and one candi-date has dropped out of the race.

Published and printed by Black Press Limited 34375 Gladys Avenue, Abbotsford

The disabled, and subsequently rescued Russian container freighter over the week-end was a huge wake-up call to British Columbians and for the federal government.

The Simushir appears to be a modern, well-maintained ship, yet for some reason lost power and was essentially adrift only 12 or so miles off the coast of Haida Gwaii.

The stars were aligned, it seems – no pow-erful storm hampering recovery efforts, a for-tuitous visit to Prince Rupert by an American heavy rescue tug and a Canadian Coast Guard vessel in proximity.

The Coast Guard, despite breaking a tow-line two or three times, did manage at one nautical mile an hour to pull the Simushir a little further out to sea before the rescue tug completed its 24-hour trip from Rupert to the

stricken vessel.That the Russian ship was a container

cargo carrier rather than an oil tanker was also a bit of a blessing. Had it run aground, it was ‘only’ carrying hundreds of tonnes of oil rather than the 50-million-plus gallons of crude that a tanker has within its holds.

And while we all remember the devasta-tion that occurred in Alaska when the Exxon Valdez struck a rock in Prince William Sound, we tend to forget that every day there are many tankers cruising our coastline carrying vast quantities of crude bound from Alaska to Washington and California ports.

Anyone living on the western slope of Sumas Mountain in Abbotsford can see the lights and flares of Cherry Point, Washington’s largest oil refinery, just seven miles south of the Peace Arch. Tankers that have sailed along our coast, renowned in the annals of maritime history as the “Graveyard of the Pacific,” discharge their loads there daily.

From now until spring, the coastal storms will be relentless, and should one of those hundreds of tankers that ply the Alaska run suffer the same mechanical failure as the

Simushir, the potential for an environmental calamity is huge. Except for the waters in the vicinity of Vancouver, Canada has no heavy rescue tugs on our coast.

What happened this weekend should – must – be a warning shot across the bow of the federal government as it presses to have “in our national interest,” the Northern Gateway oil pipeline deliver Alberta crude

our north coast.Adding hundreds more tankers to the hun-

dreds already plying our coast makes the need for large rescue tugs mandatory, and not just if and when the oil starts to flow through Enbridge’s pipeline.

We can’t continue to rely on luck that an

American tug will be in the vicinity, and wecan’t rely on Canadian Coast Guard vesselsthat have neither the power nor the equip-ment to adequately rescue massive tankers,or for that matter, the 137-metre Simushir.Broken towlines and one mile an hour provethat out.

The feds have budgeted billions on replace-ment vessels for the Canadian Navy, and arespending a great many more millions tryingto keep our second-hand submarines afloat,yet one of the world’s most pristine coast-lines is under daily threat of environmentalcatastrophe without any protection.

The Simushir was a valuable lesson inwhat can go wrong while, through luck andcircumstance, disaster was averted.

I would like to think the federal govern-ment has learned from this, and will act withspeed to acquire such rescue vessels, and inthe meantime, contract a commercial tug tobe on standby on our northern coast.

Otherwise, a massive environmental disas-ter on our shorelines will kiss off NorthernGateway “national interest” forever.

www.abbynews.comShame on us as human raceFirst, I would like to

apologize to the home-less for the way people talk as though you don’t exist. You do, and you matter – don’t let any-one tell you different.

Second, I live in the area in question. I think it’s a great idea (support-ive housing proposal on Gladys Avenue) to use land that, from what I see every day, is not being used.

The only people I’ve seen in that “park land” are city workers tidying it up every so often.

I have lived in this area for 25 years and seen drug raids, car chop shops and grow-ops and never have I complained or been scared because, for the most part, it doesn’t involve me nor has it ever threatened my life.

Having a building in the neighbourhood that helps the homeless would be an improve-ment.

No, they are not all drug addicts and crim-inals and we need to stop treating them as such.

Third, since when do we consider ourselves above others?

As a person who lives paycheque to pay-cheque, I am thoroughly aware of the fact that should I lose my job, there’s a distinct possi-bility I could end up in the same place as the camp on Gladys.

The truly sad part is

“those people” would be more than willing to in-clude me in their group because I accept them for who they are.

I’m hardly one to judge how a person wound up living on the streets and off the charity of others, and I imagine it’s quite the humbling experi-ence.

“Street people” often have the most fascinat-ing stories regarding life. Because of their living arrangements, society refuses to acknowl-edge them as interest-ing people and that’s just shame on us as a human race.

My own father went from living on the streets of Vancouver to a highly successful and honourable man. Who’s to say that if we give “those people” a lift up, they aren’t capable of great things that could change the world?

We should be ashamed of ourselves in this city for our lack of compassion and love for one another. Life is hard – sometimes harder for some than others.

Shame on all city members who shun these people and look down on them because of who they are right now.

Odds are they are bet-ter people than you, with more humour, compas-sion, love and potential to be solid members of our community.

Elya White, Abbotsford

John Smith to retire from politicsServed as school trustee and councillor for 33 years


After 33 years of public ser-vice, Coun. John Smith is ready to retire from politics.

Smith cites many accom-plishments during his 12 terms in civic politics, but is quick to acknowledge the assistance of many great people on the orga-nizations on which he served.

Smith, who was born in the United Kingdom and emigrat-ed to Canada in 1964, has lived in Abbotsford for 38 years. He has been married to wife Judy for 48 years and has four adult children and grandchildren.

He was elected as school trustee in 1981 and served for 24 years before running for council in 2005, where he has served since.

During his time on the school board, Smith said the district went through a major expan-sion and became a “district of choice” with many options such as fine arts schools, tradi-tional, French immersion and more.

After deciding to leave school board, a group of friends per-suaded him to run for council.

He said at the time, a main issue in discussion was im-proving local facilities. He said

there was talk of a need to ex-pand the Abbotsford Recreation Centre, create a museum and art gallery, and a sports and en-tertainment centre. That would eventually become Plan A – a controversial plan to build the facilities that passed by a slim margin in a referendum.

Smith said he continues to sup-port Plan A and remains proud of the facilities, which include The Reach Gallery Museum and the Abbotsford Centre.

“When you see international stars come into this community now and play to sold-out crowds, this is entertain-ment that formerly you had to go to Vancouver to see.”

He added that it is unfor-tunate the anchor tenant for the sports centre – the Calgary Flames-affiliated hockey team the Abbotsford Heat – was un-successful. The city paid yearly subsidies to the team and sev-ered their supply-fee agree-ment in April, ending with

more than $12 million paid to the team since they began.

Smith said he understood the ongoing public criticism and was also upset by the subsidy, but said it is important to re-member the business plan was established before the global fi-nancial crash. Smith said he is

thankful for the successes of the Abbotsford S o c i a l Development A d v i s o r y C o m m i t t e e (ASDAC), which he was chair of for three years.

He cited the Harmony Project of af-fordable hous-ing that won a Canadian Mortgage and

Housing Corporation award for innovation. He added that the legislation for recovery homes created by ASDAC was adopted by other cities.

He said in all the time he served, he never worried about the next election, saying he al-ways voted for what he be-lieved was the right thing to do.

“If you’ve compromised your

principles and beliefs, you’re a lost soul in my view.”

With his background on ASDAC, he said he “agonized” over his decision to vote against the Abbotsford Community Services’ proposal to build sup-portive housing downtown in his last term. But said he ulti-mately he couldn’t “abandon” the downtown businesses who struggle.

After the project was defeat-ed, a task force on homeless-ness was created and Smith sat as co-chair. He said he has little doubt that recom-mendations made by the task force will come to fruition and that “Abbotsford will become known for the way we deal with this fairly significant so-cial issue.”

He said one regret is that he won’t be on council to see it happen.

Smith noted there will be at least three new councillors elected in November and it will be a “huge learning curve” for those elected.

With the election less than a month away, Smith said he wants to encourage voters in the municipal election to “do their own homework on where the truth lies.”

Police seek robbery suspectGas station hit on Oct. 12The Abbotsford

Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying a suspect in a robbery that occurred Sunday, Oct. 12.

On that day, a man entered a gas station in the 31700 block of South Fraser Way at 8 p.m.

Const. Paul Walker said the man then se-lected a chocolate bar and placed it on the counter for purchase.

The employee rang in the sale, and the man handed the clerk some money.

Once the cash reg-ister was open, the culprit lunged across the counter, grabbed money from the till, and ran away east on South Fraser Way.

The suspect is de-scribed as Caucasian,

20 to 30 years old, about six feet tall with a medium build and facial hair, including long sideburns.

He was wearing a dark-blue ball cap with a white logo, a black jacket, grey sweat pants and brown shoes.

Anyone with infor-mation is asked to call the APD at 604-859-5225 or text 222973 (abbypd).

Kamal Gill wants to focus on issues for parents, studentsKamal Gill will run

for a seat as a school trustee in the November municipal election in order to “focus on the problems of students and parents.”

She came to Canada from India with a bach-elor of science and says she has never quit learning. Gill has resid-ed in Abbotsford for the last 31 years.

Along with caring for her two children, Gill has worked with her family business as a farmer for the last 28 years.

She currently works

part time at Tradex in occupational first aid and as a real estate agent.

Gill said she believes in living a simple life and giving back to the community.

She has serves on par-ent advisory commit-tees (PACs) and said she has always strongly be-lieved in educating chil-dren “for a better and safer future.”

She said that the Abbotsford community is facing concerns such as child safety, bully-ing, health, at-tendance, food services, trans-port and “most i m p o r t a n t l y the rising drug issues the whole Abbotsford community faces today.”

“My goal is to ensure each child is get-ting an equal o p p o r t u n i t y for a safe and healthy educa-tion.”

Gill said she would like to see programs

start at an earlier age to help kids learn early on to make better choices.

She said that PACs,parents, staff and theschool board need to work together to createclear communication.

Gill said schools needmore and improvedresources provided toteachers and students.

“I believe funding should be well spent and equally spent toensure each student isgetting the same op-portunities.

A man who retired two years ago from a 32-year career as a teacher and school counsel-lor has tossed his hat into the ring for school trustee.

Harold Kokot is among 16 candidates seeking election on Nov. 15 to the Abbotsford board of education.

Kokot spent the first six years of his career in Calgary and the re-mainder in Abbotsford, where he initially taught at Clearbrook junior secondary and then Abbotsford junior and middle schools.

“My big focus was on working with students struggling with

behaviour issues and giving them opportunities to succeed,” he said.

Kokot was involved in student sports and was a coach while teaching, and has also been in-volved in various capaci-ties with the Career Fair at Tradex.

He has also been in-volved with the Connect Program for four years, assisting parents who have struggled with

raising their children, and with the Abbotsford Airshow for 20 years in patron safety and security.

Kokot said he wishes to be involved in a community “that

sincerely cares about youth,their education, and will pro-mote and support a schoolsystem that respects and com-mits to working harmoniouslywith all elected officials of thiscity and school board.”

He said parental involvementmakes for a healthier and suc-cessful education system for all.

Kokot added that school per-sonnel need to be adequately funded and encouraged to keepeducation at a high level.

“Class size and compositionare a major key in making thishappen.”

Kokot said that running fortrustee is an opportunity forhim to be proactive and sup-portive of this community.

Unitex donates to Starfish programCompany announces contribution of 220 backpacks

A local company has announced a major donation to the Abbotsford Food Bank and Abbotsford Rotary Club in support of the Starfish Pack Program (formerly known as Blessings in a Backpack).

Unitex Sales Ltd., a provider of corpo-rate marketing ma-terials and uniforms, announced on Oct. 14 that it will donate 221 new backpacks to the program – a dona-tion worth more than $5,500.

Unitex Sales has been the sole sup-plier of the backpacks used by the program to provide elemen-tary students in need with food packages containing two break-fasts, two lunches, two dinners and snacks every weekend.

The program pro-vides meals to chil-dren who depend on school breakfast and lunch programs dur-ing the week.

Unitex Sales has been providing the backpacks to the pro-gram at cost, as it has

risen to 195 children receiving backpacks in 13 local elementary schools.

Unitex president Bob Johnson said the company is pleased by the efforts of the local Rotary Club to take on a leadership role to make the program happen.

“I grew up dirt poor. I know first-hand what a big difference just a little bit of help can make for a family struggling to get by,” he said.

Abbotsford Rotary Club president Hugh Ellis said the donation will ensure that all cash donations for the program go toward the purchase of food.

Groceries for the program cost $525 for each child during the school year.

Local stores such as Cooper’s Foods and Save-On-Foods on Whatcom Road are providing the grocer-ies at cost, and com-munity donations have allowed the pro-gram to dramatically expand over the last year.

Local churches, in-cluding Hill City, Northview, Ross Road and Gateway, have do-nated money to the program, as well as provided volunteers who shop, pack and deliver backpacks every week.

A local construction company, First Choice Transformations, do-

nated all of the funds needed to cover one local school and also provided weekly vol-unteers from among family and friends to do the shopping and packing.

There are currently more than 100 volun-teers involved in the Starfish Pack Program.

Dave Murray, man-

ager of the Abbotsford Food Bank, said com-munity support for this program is un-precedented in the community.

“Thirty-six local businesses plus many, many individuals raised over $100,000 for the program last year. Kids going hun-gry for days at a time touched people in Abbotsford in a very real way,” he said.

Estimates put the number of children in need of the program at 400.

Johnson is challeng-ing other business owners to make simi-lar contributions to the program.

More drivers are plugging into B.C.’s public electric vehicle charging stations, according to new statistics.

BC Hydro subsidiary Powertech Labs says the usage of 350 charging stations it tracks has more than doubled in the last year.

It recorded 3,745 charging sessions in August, up from 1,684 in the same month a year earli-er. The data doesn’t cover all stations – anoth-er 200 locations aren’t tracked by Powertech.

“From the individual station data so far, the busiest stations appear to be in high-traffic hubs, especially in urban and suburban malls

and downtown shopping areas, including those in smaller towns,” said Jim Vanderwal,senior program manager at the Fraser Basin Council.

Vanderwal said there are now 1,300 electriccars on the road.

According to www.plugshare.com, a web-site that helps electric car owners find plac-es to plug in, there are charging stations at Highstreet, the University of the FraserValley (UFV), Tim Hortons on Sumas Way, Abbotsford Nissan, the UFV Flight School, and Abbotsford Senior Secondary School andParallel Marketplace – each operated by the associated location.

Excellence award for Abbotsford nurse

Vicky Bach among 36 honoured across B.C.

An Abbotsford nurse was among 36 nurses across the province who were recognized for excellence at an annual event last month.

Vicky Bach, a clini-cal nurse specialist with Fraser Health, received the Award of Excellence in Nursing Practice from the College of Registered Nurses of B.C.

An awards ceremony was held Sept. 25 at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel in Vancouver.

Bach is considered an expert in gerontology, medicine and pallia-tive care, and is regularly consul-ted by health practitioners and leaders.

In 2010, Bach spearheaded a “competency assessment plan-ning and evaluation tool” used in caring for older adults that was adopted provincially by numero-us health authorities.

When Bach identified gaps in practice when nur-ses were caring for pa-tients with delirium and related behaviours, she developed a worksheet that staff could use to do-cument the activities of a patient over several days.

She also developed a “care path” to standardi-

ze and regionalize stroke care across Fraser Health. Her work in that area was presented to the International Stroke Congress in 2013.

Bach also publishes for Fraser Health a monthly newsletter on various geriatric conditions and has authored numerous publica-tions on end-of-life and nursing roles.

Bach earned her master of sci-ence in nursing from McMaster University in 2005 after winning multiple academic awards.

Don’t let your operating costs leave you in the cold this winter. As a small business, you probably want to focus on making money. FortisBC can help reduce your operating costs with no-cost and low-cost energy saving tips to help lower your monthly natural gas bill and reduce your environmental footprint. If you’re in the position to upgrade space and water heating systems or commercial cooking equipment, FortisBC also offers rebates on high-efficiency models.

Small actions can add up to savings Think about cutting costs where you won’t notice it. If your business uses natural gas for heating or cooking, here are some easy tips from FortisBC to help you save energy and money.

Save hot water

■ Fix leaky taps and install water-saving aerators on kitchen and bathroom faucets.

■ If running a commercial kitchen consider installing a low-flow spray valve to pre-rinse dishes. These devices use approximately 50 per cent less water than standard types.

■ If you can access your hot water pipes, wrap them with foam or rubber pipe insulation to prevent heat loss.

Save heat

■ Install a programmable thermostat and program it to 20 °C when at work and no more than 17 °C when no one is there.

■ Your space could stay warm for up to an hour before the heating system needs to kick in again, so why not program your thermostat to turn down the heat an hour before you close shop.

■ If you operate a street front business, don’t leave the door open on cold days as it’ll push all your heated air out the door.

Upgrading can save you two waysWhen it’s time to upgrade, check out FortisBC’s rebates for high-efficiency boilers, water heaters and cooking equipment. In addition to the rebate, you’ll experience ongoing savings on your natural gas bill with more efficient appliances installed. If you’re not sure what upgrade is right for your business, consider a free consultation from a business energy advisor. It’s all part of how FortisBC is helping businesses save energy and money.

Celebrate light

Diwali Thursday, October 23

Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, is a five-day festival which falls on Thursday, October 23th this year.

In English, the term Diwali can be trans-lated into “a row of lights,” and the festival is also called Divali or Deepavali.

The Hindu festival is celebrated annually on the 13th lunar day of the Krishna paksha of the Hindu calendar month of Ashwin. Falling in accordance with the luni-solar Hindu calendar, the Diwali festival unites friends and family in celebration each year.

The holiday originated as a harvest fes-tival that marked the last harvest before winter. For those of the Hindu faith, this is the most important festival of the year, and is celebrated by families engaging in tradi-tional activities at home.

Though celebrated around the world, Diwali is an official holiday in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Malaysia and Fiji.

Dhanteras starts the first day of the festi-val, which is significant in Indian business communities as many people make cus-tomary purchases of precious metals. On

the first day of Diwali, housewives consider it auspicious to clean the home and shop for gold or kitchen utensils. Many people wear new clothes and jewelry as they light the first lamp of Diwali.

Naraka Chaturdasi is the second day of the festival, where people decorate their homes with clay lamps or diyas and create design patterns called rangoli on the floor using coloured powders or sand.

Amavasya is celebrated on the third day with the worship of Lakshimi, the god-dess of wealth. This is the main day of the festival when families gather together for Lakshmi puja, a prayer to Lakshmi, followed by mouth-watering feasts and firework fes-tivities.

Kartika Shudda Padyami is celebrated on the fourth day and on the fifth day Yama Dvitiya is recognized, where sisters invite brothers into their homes, and welcome them with love and a lavish meal.

Throughout the festival, celebrators wear new clothing, jewelry and come together as families and friends in order to share enter-tainment, food and treats. Homes are deco-

rated with lights and candles and cleaned to represent a new start.

Diwali involves lighting small clay lamps filled with oil to represent the victory of good over evil. The lamps are kept lit over-night and the house is tidied to make the goddess Lakshmi feel welcome. Firecrackers

are often set off to ward away evil spirits,but these items are illegal to set off inAbbotsford.

The festival is a celebration of the tri-umph of good over evil, the return of Lord Sama, Sita, and Lakshmana from exile andthe defeat of Ravana.

Diwali is one of the most important Hindu festivals in India – but the colourful customs and meanings associ-ated with it can vary dramatically depending on whether you reside in the countryside or

the city.

On the streets of densely populated con-urbations like Mum-bai, Diwali – popularly known as the Festival of Lights – is often a raucous affair, marked by a cacophony of fire-

crackers on the streets and a flourish of cer-emonial gambling in the home. The wealth-ier urban dwellers splurge on gold, jewelry, clothes and expensive gifts such as electron-ics, which they buy for

The meaning of Diwali themselves and their loved ones.

In the quiet tribal villages, such as those dotted around the vast state of Maharashtra in the west of India, the celebration is generally a more simple affair, defined by humble offerings and whole-some feasts. Few, if any, firecrackers are burst and many follow their own particular tribal traditions. Most vil-lagers try to buy new clothes, but few can afford gold, jewelry or elaborate gifts.

There are some Diwali rituals common across most of the sub-continent. In both city and countryside, small clay oil lamps (or diyas) are placed at the thresh-olds of homes, shops and offices throughout the five-day affair to celebrate the legend of the return of the Hindu god, Lord Rama, to his kingdom after 14 years in exile. According to mythology his people lit diyas to welcome his return.

Hindus in cities and villages also believe

that during Diwali the Hindu goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, will visit their homes if they are lit, clean and beau-tifully decorated.

Windows and doors are left open to let the goddess in and homes are cleaned from top to bottom.

Brightly-coloured rangolis are drawn using fingers on the ground at the entrances to homes and offices. These geo-metric designs are usu-ally symbols of nature and their purpose is to welcome guests and to encourage Lakshmi inside.

Gambling card gamesare often played in bothvillages and cities, as it is generally consideredauspicious to gamble during Diwali.

This started from alegend that a Hindu deity played a dicegame with his consorton the fourth day of Diwali and she won. Some Hindus believe Lakshmi can be invokedthrough gambling.

Gambling parties arean especially popular pastime during Diwaliin Mumbai. The par-ties typically start at 10pm in bungalows and farmhouses andcontinue well into the early morning.

“Bets can start assmall as Rs 20 (40 cents)and as big as Rs 5,000 ($93). In a night people can lose up to Rs 50,000 ($930),” explains VikramMehta, 30, founder of Red Om Entertainment.

“People don’t mindlosing – it’s part of the ambiance and peo-ple are having fun. Everyone dresses up, everyone is on holi-day, everyone is invit-

try Indian sweets – known as mithai – are exchanged and people have large family gath-erings in their homes.

Diwali also marks the start of the new Hindu financial year and many businessmen, traders and shopkeepers, open new accounts books. Businessmen in cer-tain states, particularly Gujarat, worship their accounts books.

There are various other rituals celebrated in towns and villages on each of the five days. For example, on the last day of Diwali in many parts of India, a sister cooks for her brother and he bestows gifts on her in celebration of the love between siblings.

“The modern world is changing and festivals are the only way to keep our culture and tradi-tions alive. For us Diwali is the victory of good over evil, the returning of good back into our lives and starting a new year with a positive approach and forget-ting all the bad that has happened,” says 45-year-old Mumbai housewife Heena Damle.

Typically fire crack-ers are set off from dusk, often throughout the night. The noise is believed to herald the defeat of evil and catch the attention of the gods.

Old World style and thoughtful details combine in a seriously gorgeous home in Kitsilano, completely renovated by Novell Design Build.

“We are so excited about this house,” says Laurel James, director and principal designer at Novell Design Build. “It truly was crafted; there’s something in every room and it really suits the homeowner. Everywhere you look there’s a surprise.”

The owner purchased the home, originally built in 1928, with the intention to renovate it.“Multiple renovations over the years compromised the original character of the home,” James

says. “The entire house has been re-planned and the roof lifted to accommodate a growing family.”

Lifting the roof changed the top oor attic from a space with no head room to a full upper level with room for sleeping and relaxing.

“We had a strict limit to the amount of square footage we could add to the house, yet

we desperately wanted to create a usable upper level,” James says. “We exceeded the code requirements for thermal ratings on the exterior walls in the lower level, earning a space credit that we dispersed upstairs, along with lifting our mechanical room up into the attic crawl space where it was excluded from our square footage, and maximizing space exemptions for storage and head room clearance on the stairs. All of this allowed us to scrape together enough room for two bedrooms, one with a seating area and desk, a bathroom, laundry and storage upstairs.”

Other highlights include 12-foot ceilings in the kitchen, designer lighting pieces and a custom cast replace in the den.

“The powder room is articulated with a dramatic display of calacutta (marble) hex tiles, offset with an antique vanity, restored lighting xtures and un-lacquered brass ttings throughout,” says James. “It’s really dramatic.”

The renovations incorporate the homeowner’s art and antique collection, which was an important feature for him.

“An Old World feel, eclectic mix of classic styles and thoughtful detailing bring character and lift back to this early century home,” James says.

Another stunning feature of the home is the capability for indoor and outdoor living.“A massive folding operable wall as wide as the kitchen facilitates a true connection to the

outdoors,” James says. This allows the homeowner to live and dine inside or outside.

Kitsilano home gets a facelift from Novell Design BuildA home from 1928 is renovated from top to bottom to fi t the needs of a homeowner with plans to have a family and bring the old home up-to-date.

The homeowner purchased the home with the intention of renovating it, and called in Novell Design Build to realize his dreams. Among the renovations was removing the roof and adding head room, alongwith two bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry room and storage on the top fl oor.

One of the little surprises that James is so excited about is the drawers beneath the stairs that allow for more storage and add some interest.

“The closets in the bedroom were really inspired,” James says. “We were able to turn his thoughts into reality with unique closets with French doors on the front. It’s really the right feel for the home, and creates visual interest with Hampton-esque closet built-ins.”

As with the square footage considerations, renovating this older home was not without its challenges.

“Bringing the structure and energy performance of a 1928 house up to, and beyond, current codes was a challenge,” says James. “We managed to do it with thoughtful restructuring strategies that both allowed us to keep the original foundations and facilitate an open oor plan – along with using new technologies in spray foam insulation and air tightness. To do this, we had to carefully manage the budget together with the owner to allow for these upgrades to the infrastructure; what you don’t see behind the walls.”

The renovations took just under a year, but the homeowner is extremely happy with the nished product.

“He is so thrilled with the home and how it turned out,” James says. “Any renovation of this scope is a big risk; you have to trust the people you work with. He’s thankful he took those risks.”

• Habitat homeowners are building equity with

every mortgage pay-ment due to Habitat’s no-interest home loan.

• 58% reported that they are better off fi nancially in all areas.

• Homebuyers’ com-ments highlighted their previous poor quality, unhealthy and crowded living conditions. Th e homebuyers also noted the positive impacts for their families of obtain-ing good quality hous-

ing. In addition, they commented on the im-portance of the security, stability and sense of control that comes with homeownership.

• Among the homebuyers surveyed, 39% report-ed that their previous housing was in need of major repairs — 36% noting overcrowding and 41% citing that their previous housing was too costly.

Paving the way with rubber paving at home

By Kerry Vital

When most think about rubber paving, they remember track meets and p l a y g r o u n d s . However, rubber paving can also be a cost-effective option for homeowners looking to replace their driveways.

“Rubber paving is made of 100 per cent recycled material, so it’s very eco-friendly,” says Brad Lavigne of Eco Paving.

Made of recycled tire granules, rubber paving can be used on patios, outdoor walkways and pool decks as well as driveways.

“Rubber paving is quite exible, so it’s virtually crack-proof after installation,” Lavigne says.

Another bene t is that it will last for decades with proper maintenance.

“Every ve years we recommend a special sealant to maintain the paving, but that’s about it,” says Lavigne.

Rubber paving can be installed over top of what the homeowner already has in place, including asphalt, brick, concrete or gravel, removing the need to take out the existing driveway or paving before

installation. It’s also easy to repair if something happens, as the rubber paving can be patched.

“It will move with any ground movement,” Lavigne says. “It also won’t go green with algae like concrete does around a pool.”

Rubber paving is a non-slip surface, so it works well in our wet climate. Ice will not build up on it, making it less slippery for the rare time it snows in the Lower Mainland.

Homeowners are also not limited to

basic grey or black, as you would be with asphalt or concrete. Instead, rubber paving is available in several colours, including red, beige, black, brown and grey to match your existing exterior decor and personal tastes.

“Rubber paving will work in almost any situation,” says Lavigne. “We’ll start with an initial quote and assessment, and go from there.”

It’s a relatively affordable option as well, Lavigne points out, and takes about 24 hours to cure after installation, much shorter than other types of paving that can take several days.

Rubber paving is an eco-friendly choice for homeowners, as it’s made out of recycled material and can be installed over the existing pavement. Eco Paving photo

Jennifer Scott: A Good Chick To KnowBy Kerry Vital

For style expert Jennifer Scott of A Good Chick To Know, style is about more than homes or clothing. In fact, it’s a combination of both for the designer who started off working purely in fashion.

“I kind of organically ended up doing this,” Scott says. “I have a Bachelor of Design (degree) from Ryerson University in Toronto, and worked in fashion as a stylist. I found that many of the principles of design transfer over to interiors, and started doing a lot more of that kind of design work.”

In 2011, her design won second place in the BC’s Best Young Designer competition.

Scott started A Good Chick To Know four years ago, and continues to assist clients with many aspects of their lives. She offers interior design services as well as wardrobe styling, and notes that the principle of “something old, something new” works well for both facets of the design industry.

As for where the name came from, Scott laughs and says that she has always had the name in the back of her head.

“I thought of the name years ago but didn’t want to use it until I found the perfect business. This business is perfect for the name!” she says.

As fall and winter begins, many people look at updating their homes and their wardrobe; Scott has a few tips.

“Most people think of changing colours when it comes to fall, but I think you need to look at what’s been popular this year,” she says. “Nice neutral whites and off-whites have been in style along with nudes, and I think this will stay through the winter.”

Instead, she urges people to look at different textures.

“My home is white, so instead of doing white sheer curtains, I’m doing white velvet for example,”

Scott says. “Bring back the textiles!”Cozy blankets and other textiles are all great for

the colder months.“You want the look to be soft and cuddly,” she

says.When it comes to fashion, Scott tells people to

look for interesting patterns.“There’s not one big ‘it’ colour, so a tone-on-tone

pattern will add a lot of interest,” she says. “I’m also really loving all the metals. Yellow gold, rose gold, white gold. There’s been a real return to traditional glamour, which is nice.”

Jennifer Scott of A Good Chick To Know is enjoying the return to neutral whites and off -whites in her own home, and urges people to consider diff erent textiles and textures. A Good Chick To Know photos

Hitting the fl oor with cool and sleek tilesBy Kerry Vital

Flooring is an integral part of any renovation. It’s often one of the first things people consider when looking to renovate, and it can tie the entire room together into one cohesive space.

“The most important thing to consider when installing a new floor is that you don’t want it to look renovated,” says Sanj Aggarwal of Mainland Tile. “Sometimes it can look a little out of place. For example, an ultra-modern style in a traditional home. You want there to be a nice flow between rooms.”

West Coast is a popular style in many aspects of home decor, and this translates to flooring as well.

“The West Coast is a lot different than other areas,” Aggarwal says. “What works somewhere else won’t always work here. Earth tones with grey walls seems to work well in Vancouver.”

He cites a recent example of a home in South Surrey that includes marble tile on the main floor in a modern design.

“There are a lot of clean lines and crisp colours,” he says.

Another example that works well on the West Coast is a return to nature and more subdued shades. Ornate traditional styles are more popular outside of the Lower Mainland. Larger format tiles such as 12” by 24” and even larger are a popular choice, while smaller sizes are going out of style. Other out-of-fashion styles include tiles inlaid with a design and glass mosaics.

Popular flooring differs depending on the room it’s being installed in. For example, clean lines and neutral colours are most popular in the master ensuite, to give the homeowner a spa-like feeling.

“You want to enjoy the setting,” Aggarwal says. “You’re going for a clean design; this is not the place you want to feel cozy. White-on-white-on-white works well in a modern design.”

In the kitchen, natural stones are still in.

“Marble, travertine and porcelain are still very much in style,” says Aggarwal. “For example, you could put marble on the floor with very modern cabinets.”

Popular styles in tile fl ooring right now depend on the room it’s being installed in, but cool andmodern West Coast styles are on-trend no matter where you are. Mainland Tile photos

The UFV Cascades golf teams were still dreaming of repeating as national champi-ons on Friday morn-ing, but their aspira-tions weren’t given a chance to materialize after officials can-celled the final round of the three-day PING CCAA Golf National Championships due to bad weather.

The Cascades began the tournament at the Club de Golf Lorette in Quebec City on Wednesday ranked as the top men’s and women’s teams in the nation after winning both PacWest champi-onships. However, they fell behind in the first round.

In the final standings (which were calculated based on the first two rounds), the Cascades women achieved sil-ver, while the men found bronze. It’s the first time in two years that neither of the two teams have claimed

the top spot at a tour-nament.

According to UFV coach Chris Bertram, the shortening of the competition from 54 holes to 36 was an un-fortunate setback for the Cascades, especial-ly on the men’s side where UFV trailed the eventual champions, the Holland College

Hurricanes, by only six shots.

“We go into a nation-al championship pre-paring for a three-day battle,” said Bertram.

“We were six shots back going into that final day, which in team golf is only one or two holes that go our way…We were chas-ing down some schools

that hadn’t been in that position before, and our players were really excited about the challenge and possibil-ity of coming back.”

Bertram, who is also the 2014 CCAA Coach of the Year, said the decision to cancel the final round was made at 10 a.m., and the rain stopped at 11 a.m. The

Cascades went on to play a casual round of golf in sunshine laterthat afternoon.

Hawks’ slide continuesMouat falls despite fourth quarter heroics

Paul EsauAbbotsford News

The W. J. Mouat Hawks are having a tough year, what with the relative youth of the squad and the constant injuries, but they almost sur-prised the visiting Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers on Friday amidst the mid-October drizzle.

The Hawks eventu-ally succumbed 45-16, but were down only by a score early in the fourth quarter after ral-lying from a 24-0 deficit with 16 quick points.

After having spent much of the game being beaten down by the visibly larger Panthers, the Hawks put together a 60 yard drive to the end zone in the fourth quarter for their first points of the game. Mouat got a two-point conversion from Elijah Falconer, recovered an onside kick, and then picked up another TD and conversion to claw their way back into the competition.

Both touchdowns came on runs from se-

nior fullback Keagan MacGillivray, who also picked up an intercep-tion.

“They’re an experi-enced, strong team, they’ve got lots of kids from last year’s team that almost beat Mt. Douglas (last year’s triple A high school

champions), and they’ve got quite a bit of size on us,” admit-ted Hawks coach Denis Kelly.

Junior Dion Pellerin wrapped up 11 tackles in the loss, while senior Jarod Jensen had 10. Slater McRae grabbed his own interception,

and picked up some nice yardage on kick-off returns, while Jacob Dodd had 89 yards rushing.

Fullback Providence Ndizeye and receiver Cole Barker didn’t play due to injury.

The Hawks had sev-

The Hawks picked up their third defeat of the season on Friday in a 45-16 loss to the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers.

‘We’re going there to win’

Bearcat Jodi Enns hits into a block by Cascades Reena Randhawa and Kierra Noot.The UFV Cascades women beat the CBC Bearcats 3-2 on Friday and 3-0 on Saturday in PacWest action while the men’s teams split the series at one game apiece. Read more at abby-news.com


CROSSTOWN RIVALRY

From A42

Natasha Mackenzie “re-ally stepped up,” according to Bertram.

“I take my hat off to those three and how they performed in securing their conference championship and eventually a silver medal at nationals,” he said.

Jen Woods led the way for the Cascades women, finishing sixth in the individual stand-ings at 14-over par after card-ing rounds of 79 and 81. Kelley

Dalzell (80-83) was right behind her in seventh place at 17-over, while Natasha Mackenzie (93-83) was 19th at 31-over.

The standings were based on Woods and Dalzell’s combined score of 31-over which placed UFV nine strokes back of the Champlain St. Lawrence Lions, the tournament host squad.

On the men’s side, Aaron Pauls was the top Cascade, tying for seventh place at minus-1 for the tourney with rounds of 69 and 74 on his scorecard. Kaleb Fisher (75-71) was tied for 13th at

2-over, while Simon Blaker (74-74) was tied for 17th at 4-over.

The UFV men collectivelyfinished at 7-over, trailing theHolland College Hurricanes (plus-1) and the Camosun Chargers (plus-4).

While coach Betram wasproud of what is once again a great result for his players, hewished his teams could have played a third round.

“Getting a medal and just get-ting on the podium isn’t whatwe were after. We were going there to win.”

The Fraser Valley major midget Thunderbirds played a home-and-home against the Greater Vancouver Canadiens this past weekend. Saturday’s game at the ARC ended locked at 3-3. After falling behind 2-0 early in the second, the ‘Birds rallied back on a Nick Ponack goal with assists to Brice Sharp and Kyle Bosko. The

Birds second goal was the result of shorthand-ed pressure which led to Jamie Housch burying it on an assist from Noah Wiebe, while the go-ahead third goal came from Sharp

Twelve hours later on Sunday morn-ing, the Thunderbirds grabbed a 4-2 road win in Richmond. Dawson Rodin made a couple spectacular first period

saves to keep the game tied at zero early. Alex Furlan opened the scor-ing for the ‘Birds from Marshall Skapski and Brett Clayton. Ponak scored the second goal from Sharp and Bosko. Later, Furlan extended the lead with a great in-

dividual effort to strip the defender and bury his own rebound. Ponak scored another pretty goal after a long cross-ice pass from Skapski got him behind the de-fender.

Next up for the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds will be the Valley West Hawks. Puck drop at 4 p.m., Saturday Nov. 1 at the ARC.

Mouat defeats Bateman

On Thursday night, the W.J. Mouat Junior

Hawks football team beat the visiting Robert Bateman Timberwolves by a score of 33-7. The Hawks were led by running back Nelson Lokombo, who rushed for over 300 yards and four of the Hawks’ touchdowns. Lokombo is currently leading the province in rushing yards, with over 1,400 through the Hawks’ seven games. Overall, the Hawks have a re-cord of five wins and two losses. They have two remaining league games.

Football foes collideeral chances to recover their own kicks in the first half before finally pulling off an onside kick in the fourth. Mouat special teams created problems for the Panthers all night long.

Lord Tweedsmuir found three scores in the fourth to settle back into control of the game.

The Hawks (1-3) play their final game of the regular season this Friday, Oct 24, at 7:30 p.m. at home against the St. Thomas More Knights (4-1).

In other high school football action, the Abbotsford Panthers pummeled the G.W. Graham Grizzlies 40-24 and the Bateman Timberwolves won an exhibition match against the Earl Marriot Mariners 37-0.

The Rick Hansen Hurricanes took on the Samuel Robertson Titans on Friday night, but the game was can-celled in the fourth quarter after the field lights went out. The Titans were leading 28-26 at the time, but were about to punt the ball to the Hurricanes deep in their own end.

Templeton, Jean MorrisSeptember 22, 1939 - October 12, 2014

Auntie Jean as she was known to all that knew her passed away at the Christine Morrison Hos-pice in Mission, BC, surround-ed by her family that loved her dearly. Born in Cambusbarron, Stirling, Scotland to Jane and George Templeton just at the start of World War II Jean had many memories she would share of what it was like growing up in those times. Jean immigrated to Canada in 1964 as a young girl following in her older sister, Marcet Kerr’s, footsteps. She worked for the Harrison Hotel from 1964 until her retirement in 2004. She was one of the longest standing employees that had remained at the hotel through the many change of owners. Jean started at the front desk where she met many mov-ie stars and well known people. She then moved to the Payroll office and finally finishing her last 10 years at the Harrison Resort Golf Course. In those years Jean enjoyed curling and spending time with the friends that she made in the village. She especially enjoyed her time spent with her long time friends, Barb Piegsa, Sandy Maslin and June Bannerman.

In 2009 Jean sold her place in Harrison and moved to Abbots-ford to be closer to her family. Here she enjoyed her retirement by spending time with her great nieces and great nephew. Every-one who knew her loved her and many a times you would hear “I wish I had an Auntie Jean!!” She loved her family and would be there to help with anything. Unfortunately, in May she was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer which progressed so fast she was taken from us 5 months later. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Jean was predeceased by her Mum and Dad, her sisters Susan and Marcet, her niece Ailsa and nephew George. Left behind to mourn her loss are her sisters Catriona Warburton (Neil, Alan & Joanna) and Lorna Dow (Jim & Karen), her brother John Tem-pleton (Rena, Sandra, John & Alison), and Uncle David Mar-tin. Left behind in Canada are her nieces Shielagh Kerr, Moira Fraser (Ryan), Taylor & Brooke Kerr, Kyla Fraser and her neph-ews, George Kerr (Lisa), Bill Kerr, and Rory Fraser.Special thanks to Drs. Muthayan, Winston, & Gill, the nurses and staff at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and the excellent care she received from the staff at the Christine Morrison Hospice.No service by request. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Christine Morrison Hos-pice.“Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you.”

McPHERSON, James Charles

November 8, 1925 -October 11, 2014

Surrounded by his family,James McPherson passedaway peacefully at the Abbots-ford Hospital. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Dad always remained a Prairie boy at heart. In 1947, he began his career at the In-surers Advisory Organization where he met Patricia Muller whom he married in 1948. In 1972, they moved to North Vancouver and Dad recently moved to the Primrose Gardens in Abbotsford. He was loving, patient, kind, honourable, wise, and generous beyond words to his family and many charities. Dad loved his Scottish heritage, watching all kinds of sports, especially his kids and grand-children, keeping up on the news, but nothing was more important to him than his family. He was a great parent and role model and we can only hope we are as good of a per-son as he was. Left to mourn his passing are his 4 children, 11 grandchildren, and 5 great - grandchildren. He was predeceased by our be-loved Mother and after 14 years, they are fi nally together again.We would like to thank the staff and residents at Primrose Gardens as well as the staff at the Abbotsford Hospital for their care and support. According to his wishes, cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday Novem-ber 8, 2014 at 2:00 at Hender-son’s Fraser Valley Funeral Home. In lieu of fl owers, dona-tions can be made to the BC Children’s Hospital.
