“There’s no way this individualwouldn’t have known she’d tumble tothe ground, and he wasn’t concernedabout her well-being regardless ofher age.”

Milt Walker, executive director of the women’s treatment centre, was on hand to greet about 150 visitors at the 25th anniversary of Peardonville House on Saturday.
F or 25 years, the Peardonville House Treat-ment Centre in Abbotsford has provided away out of the mire of addictions in a safe,
home-like atmosphere for more than 3,000 women,including many with young children.
“There are so fewprograms specificallyfor women, and weare the only one with alicensed childcare cen-tre, as far as we know,in British Columbia.We have some verygood outcomes fromthe program,” said MiltWalker, the executive director of the women’s treat-ment centre since its inception in 1987.
The centre held its silver anniversary and bar-becue on Saturday afternoon with approximately150 former clients, therapists and other workersin attendance, along with Health Minister Mikede Jong.
“I can hardly believe it has been 25 years,” said
Walker, who for the past 29 years has also been theexecutive director of Kinghaven, which for 41 yearshas provided addictions treatment services for menin Abbotsford.
Before Peardonville House was established, theonly treatment centresfor women were AuroraHouse and the Salva-tion Army’s Homesteadin Vancouver.
“If you were a wom-an living in the FraserValley, the only choicewas in Vancouver,” saidWalker.
Once Kinghaven was in operation, women begancalling for help and it became evident a women’streatment facility was also needed, he said.
With seed money from the Ministry of Health andservice groups, they went to work.
The former Peardonville School at the corner ofHuntingdon and Peardonville roads was vacantand for sale. The Kinghaven society purchased it,
renovated some buildings and mobile trailers, andopened the centre in 1987 with 18 beds.
“Then in about 1992 the Ministry of Health askedif we would start a women and children’s program(to provide treatment for mothers with young chil-dren),” Walker said.
Peardonville society exchanged six of the adultbeds for six children’s spaces and added a fullylicensed daycare for preschool children, “and that’swhen we realized we were running out of space.”
The old school was demolished around 2000and three new buildings were built to accommo-date offices, therapy rooms and two residentialclusters.
Peardonville House today has a capacity for 26adults who must be 19 or older, and eight children,who must be under school age. These women arein the 10-week intensive therapy program.
Later a 90-day stabilization and transitional liv-ing program was installed in an empty caretakers’house, called Molly’s Place on the two-acre site.

“They come back really to encourage thewomen who are here, to show them they canhave good lives. It’s a very courageous actfor these women to come in for treatment.”
S lick roads, speed, and inattention werelikely factors in an eight-vehicle pile-upon Highway 1 near Abbotsford that closed
the eastbound lanes for about 90 minutes onFriday.
A 33-year-old Chilliwack woman was airliftedto Royal Columbian Hospital with serious inju-ries, while three others who received minor softtissue injuries were taken by ambulance to theAbbotsford Regional Hospital.
“We got the call at 10:43 a.m. There were fouror five Abbotsford Police vehicles on site, and[their officers] did an astounding job,” saidConst. Blair Fuller of the RCMP Fraser ValleyTraffic Services.
The incident began with a relatively minorcollision that happened in the eastbound laneson Highway 1 just east of the McCallum Road
interchange, in which a boat trailer side-swipedanother vehicle, said Fuller.
“They had just pulled over or it had just hap-pened, and the traffic coming over the hill had toslow down and were hitting the brakes, and that’swhen the second collision occurred,” he said.
Police believe a black 2008 Hyundai Accentthen crashed into the back of adump truck.
Then as a white Pacific BreezeHeating and Cooling service vanhad stopped or slowed down, it apparentlywas hit by another truck from the rear and waspushed into a vehicle ahead of it, said Fuller.
In total, eight vehicles were damaged, he said.The Hyundai was wedged under the rear of the
dump truck, requiring Abbotsford Fire Rescuemembers to cut the female driver from Chilli-wack out of the wreckage.
Fuller was encouraged by the fact the womanwas still able to move her limbs following the
violent collision.The complicated crash will be under review for
some time as police will have to go through severalstatements, but Fuller said road conditions likelycontributed to the second crash.
“We believe it was a combination of thethings. The recent heat brought the oil up tothe surface of the asphalt and combined withrain makes it slippery. We figure speed, driver
inattention and a few mechanicalfactors may have also contrib-uted,” said Fuller.
The incident drew out severalfirst responders, including an air ambulance,up to five Abbotsford Police vehicles, twoAbbotsford Fire Rescue trucks and ambulances– plus six tow trucks to haul away the damagedvehicles.
The freeway was reopened by 12:18 p.m., butthe multiple vehicle pile-up caused traffic toback up to 200th Street and created congestionon Huntingdon Road in Abbotsford as driverstried to avoid the crash scene.

A 48-year-old man driv-ing a Ford Focus north onTrethewey was with his sonand neighbour’s kid when henavigated into the left handturn lane at South FraserWay around 12:30 p.m., saidConst. Ian MacDonald.
“That’s when he parksit and either passes out ordecides to take a nap withseven- and eight-year-oldkids in the back seat of thecar,” said MacDonald.
“Needless to say, this cre-ates a bit of a traffic cluster.”
Witnesses concerned aboutthe safety of the two boystook them from the vehicleto a safe place until policearrived, said MacDonald.
The driver was so out of ithe simply clambered into theback seat to get more com-fortable after the childrenwere removed.
“What’s most astonishing tome is when people are mov-ing his and the neighbour’skid out of the car, he doesn’teven protest or notice,” saidMacDonald.
Officers arrived and sooncame to the conclusion thedriver was likely impaired.
A suspicion confirmedwhen the man failed a road-side breathalyzer test.
As such, his car was seizedand he got an immediate 90-day-roadside suspension,said MacDonald.
What’s more, when the mangets his car back he’ll have toinstall an ignition breatha-lyzer at his own expense.
The children taken fromthe car were delivered safelyinto the hands of relatives.

Every year thousands of dime-sized juvenile western toadsmigrate across busy rural
roads to reach forested uplandsin the Fraser Valley, but many ofthem don’t survive the treacher-ous journey.
To help them make that trek, theFraser Valley Conservancy hasworked with the City of Chilliwackand the residents of Ryder Lakesince 2009 to close local roads forthe duration of the annual toadletmigration.
About this time every year, thetiny toads trek from their nurseryswamps to the forest, where theylive out their adult days. Nextyear the adults will return to thewetland areas to breed and laytheir spawn.
The goal of the FVC’s RyderLake amphibian protection proj-ect is to identify the migrationpatterns of the western toad, aswell as other species of amphib-ians in the Ryder Lake region ofChilliwack.
The information will identi-fy key migration routes so FVCbiologists and conservationistswill know where to install wildlifecrossings under the roads, in afuture project.
Amphibians and reptiles playimportant roles in local ecosys-tems, such as eating mosquitolarvae.
But due to habitat loss, contam-inants, alien species and disease,their populations are decliningrapidly in many areas through-out B.C.
The FVC and Chilliwack closethe roads not only to save the tinytoadlets from vehicular death, butto also let them cross as naturallyas possible.
However closing the roads hasa cost.
To pay for certified traffic crewsand related costs, the annual bill isabout $15,000, but this year due tolack of funding, FVC needs to raisemore dollars.
To help the conservancy raisemoney, Dawn Ogden from the Gin-gerbread Giant has “gingineered”a gingerbread toad or frog pattern
just for this campaign.Twenty per cent of all frog pat-
tern sales will go to the Ryder Lakeamphibian protection project runby FVC.
In 2011 Ogden launched theGingerbread Giant and coined thephrase ‘gingineering.’ When Ogdenheard about the toad migrationand the issues FVC faced in raisingfunds for the project, she decidedto help.
“I think it is important to savethese little toadlets living at RyderLake. Where we humans put a
road, they must now cross,” shesaid.
If you would like to help thetoadlet crossing project, Ogdenwill give those who donate $25dollars or more a free frog ginger-
bread pattern in return.

Although the victim didnothing wrong, police arerecommending people takealong a friend or family mem-ber to the bank rather than goalone, said MacDonald.
Given the repulsive natureof the crime, it wouldn’tbe surprising if a friend oracquaintance of the suspectcalled police, he added.
“With certain crimes thatcross that threshold . . . we’llcommonly get calls,” hesaid.
“Everybody has a motheror a grandmother.”

two years with 25 per cent of residents polled cit-ing it as top of mind in 2011, down from 38 percent in 2010.
Formerly, Abbotsford was handed the monikerof murder capital in Canada twice in a row afterrecording 11 murders — most gang-related — in2009 and four deaths in 2010.
However, the city has shed the infamous titlefollowing intensive anti-gang efforts by theAbbotsford Police and no murders in 2011, aswell as solid drops in overall crime rates over thelast couple of years.
But the topic of how the city spends tax dollarshas remained more or less stable at number twofor the past three years, although the percentagedropped from a high of 20 per cent recorded in2011.
The primary taxation/spending concernsfocused on general issues at 10 per cent, prop-erty taxes at five per cent and subsidizing theAbbotsford Heat and balancing the budget at oneper cent each.
Transportation, as in past years, followed closelybehind the top three categories as a concern for14 per cent of residents questioned.
Though a total of 69 per cent of residents statedthey got very good or fairly good value for taxes,the number of people who feel they are getting agood deal for city services is on the decline for athird year in a row.
Seventy-two per cent of people surveyedresponded that they received good value for taxesin 2011, down from 78 per cent in 2010.
Perhaps not surprisingly, an increasing num-ber of people believe the city should cut servicesinstead of increasing taxes.
Fifty-six per cent favoured cuts, up from 50 percent in 2011 and 42 per cent the year before.
Those who’d be willing to favour tax increasesin exchange for services dropped to 30 per cent,down from 35 per cent in 2011 and 45 per centin 2010.
However, a total of 93 per cent of residents ratedtheir quality of life as very good (29 per cent) orgood (64 per cent).
That was a drop from a three-year high of a 96per cent rating in 2011.
Residents cited lower crime rates and improvedpolicing (30 per cent), growth and development(12 per cent) and more stores or shopping des-tinations (11 per cent) as reasons why life hasimproved in Abbotsford.
Those were somewhat mirrored by residents’reasons for why quality of life has worsened withcrime getting 23 per cent, high taxes at 14 per centand development at 13 per cent.
The survey questioned a randomly selected,representative sample of Abbotsford residentsaged 18 years or older with overall results beingaccurate plus or minus 5.7 percentage points 19times out of 20.

Crime is no longer the top of mind concern for Abbotsford residents in a recent citizen satisfaction survey. Thefocus on police enforcement and public safety seems to have tailed off with the drop in murder and crime rates.

This holds four bedrooms for womenwho are not yet ready for the more inten-sive treatment program, said Walker.
Then last year, another piece in thetreatment continuum was added. Again,at the request of the health ministry, thistime through the Fraser Health Author-ity, Peardonville House was asked tomake room for two detox beds. Thedetox program is part of Fraser Health’sRiverstone mobile and home detoxproject for Fraser Valley east.
It also includes two detox beds atKinghaven, said Walker. People can stayup to a month in the residential drugwithdrawal program.
“We have services from detox to sta-bilization to full intensive treatment. Itseems to be working very well. A lot ofour detox clients are successfully movinginto the other programs,” said Walker.
Peardonville House employs up to 30
people including skilled therapists, hasaround the clock care with regular visitsfrom two doctors, a full range of recov-ery treatments and a Nobody’s Perfectparenting skills program for the momswho have children on site and for thosewhose older children may be at homewith family.
Most of the women are from the LowerMainland, with 20 per cent coming fromother areas of B.C.
Peardonville House operates withfunding from Fraser Health, the Ministryof Housing and Social Development,and donations from the SoroptimistInternational, which has supported thecentre for 25 years, Abbotsford Rotary,Abbotsford Lions and several otherfunders.
Walker looks forward to another 25years of success.
“We have very many women whocome back as alumni who are enjoyinghappy healthy lives,” he said, adding 50
to 100 former clients have come to pastreunions.
“They come back really to encouragethe women who are here, to show themthey can have good lives. It’s a very cou-rageous act for these women to come infor treatment,” he said.

The Abbotsford/Mission Timesis a division of LMP PublicationLimited Partnership.We’re published Tuesdays andThursdays from 30887Peardonville Rd., Abbotsford, B.C.
AMaple Ridge family is taking thesmokers’ rights issue to a wholenew level - indeed, the Krossas are
elevating beyond any grey area and total-ly into the realm of “non-smokers’ rights.”
The only surprise is that their concernshaven’t been raised on a much broaderlevel long ago.
Wendell and Rena Krossa have neigh-bours who smoke tobacco, and they arebothered by the smell of their neighbours’activities. Their concern goes beyondmild annoyance or irritation. They reasonthat, if they can smell the smoke, thenthey - and especially their children - maybe subject to the hazards of second-handsmoke. The neighbours aren’t doing any-thing wrong- at least, not legally. They dotheir smoking in their own private space,in accordance with local bylaws and anyapplicable legislation.
But the smoke itself has no respect forlaws - or for non-smokers. It floats mer-rily where the breezes carry it, and entersthe noses and airways and lungs of any-one who happens to be in its path.
Many smokers have objected to beingconfined to ever-shrinking spaces sincethe dangers of their habit have becomecommon knowledge.
But the issue is not whether or notsmokers have a right to smoke, despiteoverwhelming medical evidence of thedamage that their habit does to them. Atissue is whether or not they have the rightto engage in their habit in any way thatmay cause risk to other people.
If you throw a party and it gets tooloud, it doesn’t matter that the noise iscreated in the privacy of your own home,you can be ordered to shut it down.
And face it, noise from a party isnot likely to be as damaging to yourneighbour’s health as the second-handsmoke from your cigarette waftingacross the fence.
We know that it’s easier to say than todo, but the real solution to this dilemma- one that would be healthy for everyone- is to quit smoking.

Their raucous caws will wakeyou up early on a Saturday.They’ll poop on your car.
So who feels sad when a crowgets shot as vermin or run overby a car? No one.
Would you feel bad if it wasa chimpanzee, though? Howabout if people were going outwilly-nilly shooting dolphins?Not so nice to kill Flipper, is it?
The problem is, we’re learningthat crows – common-as-dirtcrows – might be among thesmartest animals on the planet.
Read almost any older text-book about animal intelligence,and it will tell you that birds arejust not as smart as mammals.Tiny brains.
They don’t even have a neo-cortex, for crying out loud!
Which does not help explainhow some crows can apparentlycount to small numbers. Or howtheir cousins, the magpies, canrecognize themselves in a mir-ror – something only humans,great apes, elephants, and a fewspecies of dolphins have man-aged so far.
Then there’s the New Cale-donian crow, which seems tobe the Rhodes scholar of thefamily tree. These crows fromthe South Pacific use tools in
the wild, fashioning them out ofsticks and bits of grass, to reachinaccessible food. In captivity,one crow has repeatedly bentstraight wires to make betterhooks for grabbing food - with-out training.
Crows have also shown theability to think ahead: given atool too short to reach a foodsource, but long enough toreach a longer tool, they’vesolved the riddle on multipleoccasions.
Other animals that can dothat? Humans. Apes. That’sabout it.
Your family dog may befriendly, and your cat may be-not as mean as most cats, butneither of them is as smart asa crow.
So here’s my question: whatdo we owe to animals that aresmart, but not as smart as us?
Let’s be clear, crows are notgoing to be writing sonnets orsolving complex math equationsany time soon.
But neither will chimps orgorillas. Most people want thoseanimals treated humanely, atleast in part because of theirability to think and reason more
like we do than, say, the com-mon Norwegian rat.
I like my tuna dolphin-safe,and I’d prefer if any scientifictesting on apes is done in ashumane a manner as possible.But crows?
No one is making soft-focusnature documentaries aboutcute baby crows growing upin the jungles of the Congo.Crow chicks look like bagsof wrinkled skin dotted withdirty feathers. Crows do nothave permanent smiles likebottlenose dolphins. They don’tdo tricks at SeaWorld, unlessyou count dive-bombing runsto snatch hot dogs out of thehands of tourists.
Unlike chimps and dol-phins, crows are not now, andlikely never will be, in danger ofextinction.
I once saw a flock (or mur-der) of crows mobbing an owl,chasing it from tree to tree inbroad daylight.
Whether we owe crows specialtreatment because of their intel-ligence, they may not need it.
Crows are tough, they’reomnivorous, and they’ve sur-vived and thrived in big humancities for hundreds of years.
Maybe that’s why we don’tlike crows as much as weshould. They’re loud, dirty,aggressive, and smart.
They’re us, with feathers.

Editor, the Times:I was concerned to see
that a labyrinth is beingconstructed at Mill Lake. Iwould advise people to lookinto the origin and uses oflabyrinths before partakingof it.
The labyrinth is an occultsymbol based on Greekmythology. It is used bymystics of many religions toachieve spiritual enlighten-ment.
Unfortunately, manyChristian churches haveembraced this practice in anattempt to get closer to Godand, in doing so, are ope-ning themselves up to spi-ritual deception. Christianshave direct access to Godthrough Jesus Christ, wit-hout having to embark ona spiritual journey throughmetaphysical means.

Another way to gowhen talking GMOs
Editor, the Times:The title of Greg Lan-
ning’s letter to the Timeson July 17 is one thatmaybe he should paymore attention to: ‘Alwaysremember to consider thesource.’
He is correct about“Quackwatch” being a
network of conventionalmedicine but he may wantto do more research beforebelieving everything hereads there.
Mr. Lanning asks,“What’s in a name?” incriticizing Art Marten’sopposition to geneti-cally modified organisms(GMOs) and the AmericanAcademy of EnvironmentalMedicine’s opposition towater fluoridation.
He would do much bet-ter to ask, “What is in GMOfood or in tap water?” Thetype of fluoride addedto public water suppliesand toothpaste is not thebeneficial calcium fluoridefound naturally in plantsand water.
It is either sodium fluo-ride, hydrofluorosilicic acidor sodium silicofluoride,all of which are neurotoxicindustrial wastes that dam-age the immune, digestiveand respiratory systems aswell as the kidneys, liver,brain and thyroid.
Mr. Lanning also appearsto be unperturbed byGMOs. There are threepotential sources ofadverse health effects fromgenetically engineeredfoods: the genetically mod-ified (GM) gene product(for example, the Bt toxinin crops that generate itsown internal insecticide);
the genetic transformationprocess; and changes infarming practices.
Results of geneticallyengineering crops includetoxicity, increased aller-genic potential, mutageniceffects, alterations in bio-logical structure and func-tion, reduced nutritionalvalue, and increased toxicresidues.
If you are tempted to
believe as Mr. Lanningseems to, that organizationssuch as Quackwatch haveall the correct solutions tohuman health and that nat-ural medical solutions havelittle or no benefit, then askyourself how many peopleyou know who have cancer,diabetes, heart disease,osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s,colitis or some other chron-ic disease or condition?
You’re certainly welcometo believe that it’s all due to“genetics” or “old age” andcurable by drugs if you wishto.

Dumping chemicalsno way to treat park
Editor, the Times:I walk my dogs regu-
larly at Bateman Park inAbbotsford. It is home tothe once prolific salmonbearing stream StoneyCreek which is part of theWilliband Creek SalmonEnhancement Program.
On three separate occa-sions I have noticed a strongodour reminiscent of paintfumes coming from thestorm drain at the base ofthe creek just off BatemanRoad. On the first occasion(approximately February2012) it was strong enoughto last for a few days.
I am sending this to ourlocal newspapers and Ihope they will help educatepeople about dumpingchemicals in the storm sew-ers and remind us all notto do it and to report suchthings, as I wish I wouldhave done the first time.

THE TIMES TUESDAY, JULY 24, 2012 A11
As the final entry of athree part series on per-
fecting homemade burgers,this one will focus on burgertoppings and bread selec-tion.
If you missed either ofmy two previous columnson meat selection or ingre-dients to add to the burgermix, please visit http://bit.ly/OTVtWG.
When building a burgerfrom scratch, many peoplewill tend to be scant withthe toppings in order tominimize the amount ofprep, but they’re missing thebest opportunity to compli-ment the patty that theyproudly created.
Going without compli-mentary toppings is likehaving mashed potatoeswithout the gravy, or applepie without the ice cream.
Mayo, mustard, relish,and ketchup are obviousadditions.
A classic, but essentialway to also top any burgerwould be with the tradi-tional lettuce, tomato andcheese, but there are manyothers to consider: bacon,onion (fresh or sautéed),pickles, etc.
The main thing to remem-ber when adding vegetables(such as lettuce and tomato)is to make sure you seasonthem with salt and pepper– this one step will dramati-cally enhance the flavour ofyour finished burger.
The toppings don’t haveto stop there. There arecountless others that couldcrown your masterpiece butthere is not enough room inone column to list them all.
They could be hot sauces,ethnic sauces, differenttypes of mustards, saladdressings, dips, spreads,olives, sun dried tomatoes,and an assortment of chees-es for example.
The type of bread/bunyou choose could be basedon a number of factors.Maybe you are creating aburger of a certain ethniccuisine, such as an Italianburger; then I would use atype of Italian bread like aciabatta bun for example.
Or perhaps your burgersare quite messy becausethey are dripping with top-pings; then I suggest a dens-er type bread/bun to helpmake it more firm when itcomes to eating the burger.
Try to stay away from theplain, generic, small whiteburger buns as they are justso ordinary and boring. Alsotoasting the bread/buns onthe grill always adds moretexture/flavour to your fin-ished burger; brush lightlywith oil and put directly onthe grates of your grill untillightly charred and toasted.
One last note, always meltthe cheese onto the burgerpatty during the last part ofthe cooking time, if usinga melt-able cheese. Meltedgooey cheese is moreappealing in not only taste,but presentation as well.
Dear Chef Dez:Someone once mentioned
to me that there is a properorder to assembling aburger or sandwich for bestflavour. Is this true, and ifso what’s the secret to doingthis?
Michael F.Chilliwack
Dear Michael:Yes, there is a proper order
for assembling a sandwichor burger. The rule I tendto follow is this: Strong fla-vours below the protein and
light/creamy flavours abovethe protein. So for example,on the bottom half of thebun/bread below your burg-er patty or meat slices youshould put ingredients suchas onions, ketchup, relish,mustard, etc.
Layered on top of yourprotein should be itemssuch as lettuce, tomato,cheese, mayo, etc. I havebeen told that because dif-ferent taste buds at differentlocations on our tonguepick up different flavours,this is the best way to expe-rience the finest a burger orsandwich has to offer yourawaiting palate.
If you don’t believe it,assemble it as I have sug-gested, take a bite, and thentake a second bite with itupside down . . . the firstbite will taste better.

GARY KINGSTON
Vancouver Sun
Twelve years after she wentto the Olympics as a bright-eyed 20-year-old SFU stu-
dent believing her best five-ringmoments were ahead of her, TeresaGabriele is finally going back toanother Summer Games.
At 32, her knees ache constant-ly now and an injured right footkept her out of last fall’s Pan AmGames.
But instead of playing pro bas-ketball overseas like several of heryoung teammates on Canada’swomen’s basketball team, shetrains at home and works as anearly-morning delivery driver forher parents’ bread business.
But the little point guard, whofolks may remember as TeresaKleindienst, a basketball starwhen she played for Heritage ParkSecondary, has proved that adageabout hard work paying off.
“Obviously there comes a pointin time where you start to reachan age and your body falls apart alittle bit,” the Mission native saidon a media conference call fromTurkey after Canada beat Japan71-63 to qualify for the last spotfor London.
“Everybody should know that ifyou put in the hard work, you’regoing to get something out ofit. That’s what happened to ourteam today.”
And fittingly enough, it happenedback on Canada Day.
“Unbelievable. How cool isthat?” said euphoric head coachAllison McNeill.
After being upset by Croatia in aquarter-final game at the 12-coun-try qualifying tournament - Canadaneeded to beat Argentina and thenJapan to earn the fifth and finalOlympic berth.
It’s the first time Canada hasqualified for the Games since 2000
in Sydney.Guard Courtney Pilypaitis of
Ottawa led the way with 21 points,including five of Canada’s ninethree-pointers, and six assists.
But the 5 ft. 5” Gabriele, the old-est player in red and white, wasterrific as well with 11 points, sevenrebounds and five assists.
“She’s been such a strong partof this program for so long,” saidMcNeill. “She’s so fit, so mentallytough. To have been to two worldsand two Olympics, there’s very fewathletes in [summer] team sports inCanada who can say that. She’s anamazing young woman.”
The Canada Day win touchedoff a joyous celebration among theCanadian team and the small bandof supporters in the nearly emptyarena in Ankara, Turkey. McNeillwasn’t surprised, though, that theeven-keeled Gabriele was some-what reserved.
“She’s pretty stoic. Her husbandwas crying and she was pretty stoic.It was cute.”
Gabriele, the only player on theroster who was at Sydney in 2000,insisted she was caught up in theexcitement and emotion as well.
“There were a few tears. Maybeshe didn’t see them,” admittedGabriele. “To end my career [at] anOlympics is just an amazing expe-rience. Words can’t really describeanything right now.”
Canada will be in tough in Lon-don, where it will play in a six-teampool with Australia, Russia, France,Britain and Brazil. The top fourfrom each pool advance to theknockout quarter-finals.
“We’re not the greatest shoot-ing team, but we’re tough and wegrind it out,” said McNeill, whohas coached the women’s teamsince 2002.
“Are we a favourite going in? Ofcourse we’re not. But I think on anygiven night if we play well peopleare going to be concerned aboutplaying us. I think we can make alittle noise.”
Canada opens against Russia onSaturday.

the highlight of theVancouverGolf Tour’s pro-am tourna-ment Friday at LedgeviewGolf and Country Club.
Hadwin’s hometown stopin the RBC Dominion Secu-rities Charity Pro-am camejust days before he hits thelinks at the RBC CanadianOpen, which starts Thursdayin Hamilton, Ont.
“This is a very special occa-sion for the 120 amateurgolfers to be included in thesame tournament as Adam,particularly with our affilia-tion with the Canadian Openand seeing Adam do so wellat Shaughnessy last year,”said RBC rep Eric Grant, ina release.
Coming back to the homecourse he played as a juniorgolfer, Hadwin had lots ofmembers and friends follow-ing along at the Abbotsfordtrack. He finished the dayat four-under-par with a 66,good enough to tie for fifthplace.
This year’s RBC DS Char-ity Pro-am directly benefits
Canucks Place Children’sHospice in Abbotsford. Theevent has raised more than$80,000 the past two years.
“Adam is an amazing golferand we are extremely proudhe can come home and sup-port a local VGT event likethis,” said VGT Commis-sioner Fraser Mulholland ina release.
“Adam is on the cusp ofbreaking through and becom-ing one of the top playersworldwide, and it is only amatter of time before he getshis first win on the WEB.COMTour. He’s just too good forit not to happen sometimesoon.”
