Job cuts expected to save city $1.2 millionROCHELLE BAKER

[email protected]

Abbotsford council hasannounced the elimi-nation of 10 job posi-

tions in a reorganization atcity hall expected to save tax-payers more than $1.2 mil-lion a year.

The cuts include nine man-agement positions and oneunion position, according

to Abbotsford city managerGeorge Murray.

The restructuring is partand parcel of a drive to meetthe city’s new goal of postinga zero tax increase in 2014,said Murray.

Five positions each in thecity’s engineering and parks,recreation and culture depart-ments have been eliminated,either through attrition orlayoffs, said Murray.

Former director of waterand solid waste, Tracy Kyle,who left the city for a moresenior position with the Cityof Kamloops last year, willnot be replaced, he said.

Additionally, four engineersin the water and sewer sec-tion have been laid off due toa drop in the number of capi-tal projects being undertakenby the city.

In the PRC department,

Heidi Enns, former direc-tor of recreation services, isbeing promoted to PRC gen-eral manager and her formerposition will be closed, saidMurray. Former facilities andmaintenance manager JamesArden will also be promoted– to the vacant position ofparks manager – and hisformer position will not befilled.

The three other employees

in the department are beinglaid off, said Murray.

The city manager con-firmed that Jay Teichroeb,general manager of econom-ic development and planningand Pat Soanes, general man-ager of finance and corporateservices are no longer withthe city.

Their departures were notbecause their jobs were cut,said Murray, adding he could

not speak to why they hadleft nor if they’d be receivingseverance packages, due toprivacy issues.

The economic develop-ment and planning depart-ment will now become twoseparate units, and the citywill advertise for a new GMof planning and developmentand a director of economicdevelopment.

Mission’s proposed firearms dischargebylaw could vastly change lawful use offirearms for both recreational shootersand hunters alike. Times reporter Chris-tina Toth is covering the contentiousissue from all sides, in a series of articles.Part 2 provides readers with a look atthe good and bad side of how recre-ational firearms users treat the area.

CHRISTINA TOTH

[email protected]

E very couple of weeks, Mission’sforest manager Bob O’Neal and aprovincial corrections crew drive

up the Florence Lake service road (orBurma Road) in the remote northwestquadrant of the district.

The clean-up crews never come backempty-handed.

The region is popular with gun enthu-siasts, as a current district bylaw allowsthe discharge of rifles and shotguns inselected areas several kilometres northof the Lougheed Highway, as long asshooters are at least 150 metres awayfrom the roads.

But according to O’Neal, it seems thatfew people know about or comply withthe bylaw.

“No one does that. People just go tothe edge of the road and start shooting,”he said.

“They’re making a real mess up there.[The clean-up crews] collect 12 to 15garbage bags of gun shells every twoweeks.”

The marksmen target signs, gates,equipment, trees.

“I’ve seen cedar trees two to three feetin diameter completely shot through.They would have to expend round afterround after round till the tree falls over,”O’Neal said.

Sometimes the shooters bring theirown targets.

“They set out appliances – fridges,stoves, TVs, microwaves, computers– and blow the crap out of them.”

Then there is the public safety aspect.Recreational visitors, forestry staff and

others working in the area get nervouswhen they hear gun shots whiz by, andtry to make themselves as visible aspossible.

The most recent complaints camefrom a family boating on Sayres Lakewho heard gunshots overhead.

“Those [shots] would have come fromthe logging road, and that’s quite a dis-tance away,” said O’Neal.

With more people wanting to accessthe back woods, Mission is embarkingon a recreational and tourism plan tomake the area more accessible to hik-ing, mountain biking, ATVs, campingand more, and the district is proposinga ban on open shooting.

But recreational “plinkers” can live inpeaceful co-existence with other peoplewho want to enjoy Mission’s great out-doors, said firearms enthusiast DaveKunstler.

It’s a matter of teaching people toresponsibly handle their firearms and tokeep an eye for troublemakers, he said.

The owner of High Calibre ServicesCorp., a gun accessory store in down-town Mission, said education andenforcement with a hot line to reportpeople who vandalize or leave garbagebehind would help.

He agrees there are “troublemakers”who vandalize and leave their trashbehind, but said “it’s not fair to punishthe majority for the two per cent whocause the trouble.”

Kunstler explicitly condemns thatbehaviour in his weekend firearms class-es, or when he goes out shooting.

“We’ll go out to an open area andshoot at crackers or fruits or vegetables.All the shells go on a tarp and we take

the mess away,” he said.“Everyone who passes my class gets

a spiel on how to clean up – if you leavegarbage behind, you’re a disgrace tosociety.”

Kunstler said interest in recreationalshooting is on the rise, and it would bea mistake for Mission to ban firearmsuse, as shooters bring tourist dollars tothe community. He adds that a completeban, like other prohibitions, won’t workand believes it would be “more difficultand more dangerous to enforce.”

As for joining Mission and DistrictRod and Gun Club, he said the shoot-ing range was crowded, and “it’s not foreveryone.”

He’d like to see the district leave somewilderness zones open to target shoot-ers, and has a couple of spots in mind.

The firearms expert said that, likemany others, he moved to Mission toenjoy its lifestyle and proximity to wil-derness areas.

“I absolutely love Mission. This isparadise for me, the people, the environ-ment, and I am willing to do anything tokeep it that way,” he said.

Kunstler said he’ll be selling tarps forcollecting shells at his store, and willmake his dumpster available for thosewho bring back their shooting waste.

In the past three weeks, Kunstler hascollected more than 800 signatures on apetition opposing the ban.

Meanwhile, by mid-July Mission willhave people at a Burma Road gate torecord who goes into the forestry areaand to hand out information on shoot-ing regulations and how to report infrac-tions, said O’Neal.

Mission RCMP is also stepping uppatrols in the area.

Residents have until June 28 to submitcomments on the issue to the Missiondistrict. A staff report reflecting thosecomments will be brought to the councilat its July 2 meeting.

PART 3: Next Thursday, Toth will lookat the implications the proposed bylawwill have on hunters

Majority of recreational users treat Missionforest with respect, says firearms enthusiast

“Everyone who passes my classgets a spiel on how to clean up– if you leave garbage behind,you’re a disgrace to society.”

BIRTHDAY, from A3

“The thought of rain meant nothingto mum. She watched every tournamentshe could on TV and was well aware ofthe better players.

“Tiger was not one of her favourites,”added Kerry.

At the age of 64 and living in Canada,Pat caught the traveling bug, and visitedmany parts of the world with friends orfamily.

She took trips to Europe including

Mediterranean cruises, Alaska and Asia,where locals in Bangkok and Singaporewere amazed at her age and agility. Shewas 89 at the time.

Her last trip was to Poland, whereshe visited sites from the World Wars,then ended in Warsaw to see her sec-ond youngest grandson get marriedin 2005.

“She was the life of the party at 92 andearned the name ‘Super G’ – dancing upa storm and enjoying a few shots of theirfamous vodka,” said Kerry.

Pat was 65 when she got her Canadiandriver’s licence and was driving until theage of 96, even buying a new car whenshe was 92.

She also loved dogs, and for her birth-day celebration, the Canine VaudevilleShow from Dumbbell Obedience Clubin Langley entertained the crowdedmain hall at Maplewood with their obe-dience and tricks.

At the end of the show, each dog cameup to greet Pat, and received a gentle patand a big smile in return.

The city isn’t looking at more job cuts butwill continue to search for cost savings, saidMurray.

“We’ll continue to look for efficienciesover time, as it’s a journey not a destina-tion,” he said.

Mayor Bruce Banman said Tuesday after-

noon that the restructuring is one result ofa core review of city services being done byMurray.

The city saved $250,000 by not having tooutsource the core review, as Murray wasqualified to undertake the process, saidBanman.

“Part of the core review was to look forefficiencies and redundancy so that city hallcould run leaner and meaner,” he said.

“This [restructuring] would be part ofthat.”

The mayor said the job cuts weren’texpected to affect the ability of the city toperform its daily business.

“The private sector has learned to do morewith less, and the public also expects the cityto do more with less,” he said.

“Mr. Murray and council had to makesome tough choices and sometimes thatinvolves people.”

Restructuring was result of citycore review handled internally

“But when you see some-body that needs help – youdo it.”

Asked if he had anythingelse he wanted to say, Wiebesimply thanked his wife andchildren, who were in theroom.

He particularly thanked his10-year-old daughter, whohad been proudly tellingeveryone the last couple ofdays that her dad was, “goingto get a constipation from thepolice.”

The mayor expressed grati-tude to the father and hus-band for risking his safety.

“Thank you for thinking ofsomeone other than your-self,” said Banman.

“A lot of people would havejust driven by.”

OPENDAILYRAIN ORSHINE


The Abbotsford/Mission Timesis a division of LMP PublicationLimited Partnership.We’re published Tuesdays andThursdays from 30887Peardonville Rd., Abbotsford, B.C.

Watching the news out of Albertathese past few days, it’s hard not to

feel sympathy and imagine what it wouldbe like here if water of that magnitudecame rushing through the Fraser Valley.

Increasingly in news coverage fromaround the world there is flooding andmore flooding.

As Calgarians scramble to clean up,more than a thousand people are reporteddead in India as a result of water burstingbanks.

There has been some criticism aboutpreparedness for the deluge that hit Cal-gary and High River. The Alberta govern-ment has argued that some floods simplycan’t be prepared for.

The water was closer to a one-in-a-1,000-year flood than a one-in-a-100-yearevent.

Back at home, we had very little to beconcerned about this year as the freshetcame and went almost unnoticed.

Last year was a different story as thewater came and came, forcing a hand-ful of residents (outside the dike system)from their homes.

As community newspaper reporters,we are used to covering some stories yearafter year: tax rates, the Fair, the freshet.

News is cyclical and those seeminglyrepetitive stories are relevant. But someold-timers may have grown weary ofstories of the supposed flood threat thatnever materializes.

We have to weigh fear-mongering withinformation providing: The water is com-ing. It might be bad. It might not be. Itprobably won’t be. Be ready . . . but don’tfreak out.

Got it?It’s been some time since the flood of

1948 or the epic once-in-a-100-year floodof 1894, but the 2007 freshet had cityauthorities on high alert.

We in the media can be hyperbolic inour coverage of flood threats.

But maybe reiterating safety measures,hammering home worst-case scenariosfrom time to time, isn’t such a bad idea.

The lesson from Calgary may be thatwhile high water may be common, asevere flash flood that takes lives andcauses billions in damage can come anyyear.

What is needed is vigilance in the faceof an all-too easy apathy.

Our job at the paper is to balance theneed to keep residents aware of the actualthreat year after year while avoidingChicken Little journalism.

The sky isn’t falling. The Fraser Riverisn’t flooding.

But next year . . . who knows?

W hat I find in many cas-es is many of us speaka lot about (cultural)

diversity, but very few peoplepractise or live this very topic.

When I speak with people inthe community or with variouscommunity representatives,they are often surprised to learnwhat some of the current issuesare that we face right here in ourown back yard.

The Cycling4Diversity team,which I was fortunate to be apart of, delivered a message tothousands of people throughout14 communities that culturaldiversity is not solely dancingto your own music beats, butincluding the environment thatis around you.

Reflecting back on my 18 yearsas a columnist in the local area,which I will be celebrating thismonth, I have met very few peo-ple that you could call “diverse.”

Recently on our C4D ride inMay, team member Anoop Tat-lay said, “My cousin is a differentrace than me, my friends are dif-ferent races than me, my child isa different race than me.”

Touching, and a perfectexample of what it means to bediverse, at least in my opinion.

When our C4D team was onthe B.C. ferry heading to Victo-ria on May 21 – which was alsoWorld Day for Cultural Diver-sity – we unexpectedly had the

opportunity to speak to a classof elementary school childrenfrom Surrey.

After our presentation on theferry, a father approached meand said that what we all spokeabout was very true.

“My daughter is often iso-lated from activities from fellowstudents because she does notbelong to the dominant culturalgroup that makes up her class,”he said.

Families are instrumental inhow successfully diverse ourcommunities become.

It is the parents’ duty to raisetheir children to understandwhat diversity is and the impor-tance diversity plays in making acommunity successful.

If parents fail to understandthis concept, then children needto rise up and share this valuewith them.

The sad reality in all of this isthe cultural isolation within ourmany multi-ethnic communitiesis growing and we all need tostep up and change this direc-tion.

The entire Cycling4Diver-sity team was very honoured todeliver this message and we’regrateful for the support wereceived to make our event suc-cessful.

A great addition to this year’sride was having cycling jerseysfor our riders (sponsored by theRotary Clubs of Abbotsford).

They really identified our teamon the road and in the schools.

The C4D team is planning ondoing more rides throughout theyear and is proud to wear thesejerseys.

“We are grateful and over-whelmed by the incrediblesupport and generosity from allthe people and organizationsthat came forward to sponsorour message this year,” C4Dco-founder Sarina Di MartinoDerksen said.

“Our message is all aboutteam work within our communi-ties and our sponsors for threeyears in a row have demonstrat-ed what partnering together canaccomplish.

“If it were not for our spon-sors and volunteers the messagewould not have been able to bedelivered to the vast amount ofpeople we reached.”

Editor, the Times:I couldn’t help but

respond to Mr. Roberts’ let-ter and although I applaudhis support for the gay prideparade, Mr. Roberts strikesfrom a typical Canadianhabit that has become moreof a nuisance in the forumof ideas and debate.

So I ask him and otherswho follow along the samelines: Since when has thedenouncing of injustice likebigotry become an act ofbigotry itself?

For quite a while now,Canadians, well known forpoliteness, have taken thisconcept too far where themere pointing out and/orstanding up for injusticehas become a taboo initself if not done with theutmost care in not offend-ing anybody, no matterhow perverse or archaic theargument was.

Why is it that defendingothers from injustice makesyou a villain?

Doesn’t it discourage oth-ers from doing the rightthing?

Should we stay good littlecitizens, where we lookaway when wrong is donebecause our opinion mightoffend the sensibilities ofthe oppressor? Some seemto think so.

I’m certainly not apolo-getic for doing the rightthing and coming to thedefence of the LGBT.

If you want to be offend-ed, look to the issues, notthe language. Stand up forwhat is right, not what is PC.

The world is what wemake of it. If it’s not right,speak up and affect change;there will be plenty of timeto be politely silent whenyou’re dead.

Sick of the silly civicspendingEditor, the Times:

I am writing to express myfrustrations with govern-ment spending.

I moved to Abbotsfordto attend university and inthe process bought a newhouse.

I have lived here five yearsand have watched my house

assessments go down andmy taxes go up.

Not sure if our communityis aware that the Abbotsfordmunicipal government hasmade Maclean’s magazinelist of [99 stupid] thingsthe government has donewith taxpayers’ money. Theymade first and second and Ithink third.

1- Paid a large sum ofmonies to pay off mostof the debt of a local golfcourse. One most of us willnever even see.

2- Bailed out Calgary’sfarm team, the Heat. I lovethe games; however, where’sCalgary in all this?

3- My biggest concern/complaint: Gave themselvesa 26 per cent raise. This isthe one that really annoysme. I have been a nurse for20-plus years and our totalin raise increments is per-haps close to that, maybenot even that much and wenurses do well.

Really? Who does this witha clear conscience?

Oh and just to be clear,they did this all in 2012.

The thing that reallymakes me so angry is thatwe have children that aregoing without food.

We have families thatmust choose between heator electricity and food.

We have moms who areliving with children in theircar. What kind of societyhave we created that wecare so little about eachother?

So I am leavingAbbotsford and I now planto rent. I have no plans ofbuying a home and payingany more taxes.

Government spending isatrocious and I no longeram donating to causes inwhich I have no say.

I do my part, however Idon’t see the same with gov-ernment.

Seems we have no say inanything our governmentdoes.

So much for democracy.I’m done with this sillygame.

Frustrated and alone inAbbotsford.

Use common sensebehind the wheelEditor, the Times:

As a senior citizen, I wasbrought up in era whenthere was not a lot of rulesor laws. Instead we usedcommon sense.

We walked on the side-walk and drove on the road.

Walking toward an inter-section we stopped, lookedboth ways and listened.

When it was clear ortraffic stopped for us, weproceeded with cautionkeeping or eyes on traffic atall times.

When coming out of astore with a shopping cart,a baby carriage, or childrenwalking beside us, the sameprocedure was used.

We stopped and did notproceed unless it was per-fectly safe. Eyeball to eyeballis no guarantee the driver isgoing to stop. We kept con-trol of the kids and contin-ued to watch traffic.

When walking in the park-ing lot we stayed clear ofthe cars that at any momentwould back up.

Visibility from the drivers’view is bad and they can notsee you suddenly appearbehind them because theycan not see both sides of theback of the car.

In the split second youor your children may bepermanently injured evenby a conscientious, carefuldriver.

Vans are particularly dan-gerous. Drivers that speedbehind parked cars are anaccident waiting to happen.

Regardless who has theright of way, people are get-ting hurt and property isbeing damage and we allpay.

We must change this ‘mefirst, and I am more impor-tant than you’ attitude.

Beauty Queenby Dona P.Grade 10-12 Fiction

Pshhhhhhh.With a flourish of the hand,

hairspray plasticized her blondeupdo. Juliette Rogers began toapply false lashes, which gaveoff a doll like effect to her alreadymacroscopic eyes. Her nails werebuffed and French manicured byher personal aesthetician whomshe called Antonio.

“You see Sal? The basics, Ilike to call them the ‘face-ics’,are a necessity. Floss, Gloss, andHairspray. I like to keep it shortand simple.”

The one way conversa-tion faded to silence. Juliette’smouth dropped down to an “o”,and began to steadily coat hereyelashes. Putting the mascara,she continued to speak.

“Done. Follow my exampleand maybe you’ll end up withsix Ultimate Grand Supremes,three Supreme Queens, and tenDivisional Queens. Could you helpme zip up? I can’t seem to reachthe back.”

Juliette began to powder herbody and slipped into her silvernumber. As I grabbed her zipper, Inoticed the perfection of Juliette’sface; a ski slope nose, sapphireeyes and porcelain skin. She wasthe embodiment of a 21st centuryVenus. I mumbled, “I’m goingto go to the bathroom to take abreather.” With a sideways glance,she replied, “Alright, but don’t belong! It’s going to start soon.”

I raced into the bathroom.On the wall was a warped mirror,similar to the ones found incircuses; it emphasized all of mydisproportionate features. Browneyes, stubby nose, freckles spreadout like constellations. I wasalways the third best friend, a fillerin a crowd, a plain Jane.

I was broken out of thehypnosis and proceeded to leavethe bathroom until a sound caughtme by surprise. It was the soundof repulsion; a sound so pitiful andpathetic. The sobs of a snivelingchild echoed from the makeuproom. Peering outside of the bath-room door, I saw Juliette hunchedover the table, chest heaving andshaking.

Wiping away my thoughts ofself-degradation, I ventured out

of the bathroom and uttered, “Areyou okay?”

Juliette whimpered andturned her face towards mine. Hermascara was smeared and gavethe appearance of dark circlesand her hair was disheveled. Sheblubbered nonsensical sounds buteventually managed to vocalizesome words whilst hiccupping.

“M-my ha-air i-isn’t stra-awber-ry blo-onde any-y mo-ore...It’s so-o hard Sal, to be perf-ect.”

Before she could break outbawling, an assistant slipped inthe room and announced, “JulietteRogers, be ready in one minute.”

Juliette blew her nose one lasttime and in a flash, was on herfeet. Grabbing a handkerchief, shewiped away her mascara stainsand then adjusted her bobby pins.She bared her teeth to check forcleanliness. With a satisfied nod,Juliette applied a fresh layer oflip gloss and powdered her tearstained cheek for good measure.Straightening her dress, she glidedacross the room and to the door.But just as she exited, she piercedme with her sapphire blue eyesand spoke just as a true BeautyQueen would.

“That never happened.”

The Magic of theCedar TreeBy: Ella S.Grade 4-6 Fiction

“Ahhh the wonderful sound of thefire crackling,” as I peered out of mywindow, it was almost like the totempoles were dancing. I wasn’t allowedto stay up this late, but there was apotlatch going on for all the Chiefsof the West Coast. I could hear mydad playing the drum and the Chiefof Katzi singing. Just as I turned tocurl up by the fire for some rest, mymother spotted me, scooped meup, and then kissed me goodnight.The next morning I woke to thesound of screaming and yelling. Iraced outside to find strange peopleat the shore. “Sasha, stay inside,”scolded mother, but I ran toward herand she held my hand very tight.Father started singing the welcomingsong and we all joined in. “Hello,”mumbled a tall slim man. We didnot understand English very well atthe time, but my father knew a little.“Why you come to village,” he asked.“We are explorers trying to find theIndians.”

It was an odd day no one did

what they were told. There wereno blankets made for ceremonies,not a single totem got finished, noberries picked, salmon fished, and noanimals hunted. “These Europeansbrought magic we feel weak andsick,” exclaimed the Elders. Thatnight before I went to bed I called tomy spirit protector, she was an eagleand I had only seen her once whenour longhouse almost caught fire.She told me that together we cango a long way. Tonight I did not seeher, but I heard a whisper saying askyour Elders about the cedar tree, soI did. “Grandma Bowen, oh GrandmaBowen,” “Yes my little Eagle” “Canyou tell me the story of the cedartree?” “Oh the story of the tree oflife, why do you ask salmon pie”chuckled grandma. “I just love yourstories”

It began when magic was in theair. The spirits were everywhere, intrees, fires, waters, and air. The spir-its are still here today, but you couldsee them very clearly back then. Ayoung man named Blue Raven waskind and generous, he was not afraidof making mistakes, had a beautifulheart, a sense of adventure and wasvery clever. He used his clevernessto help people in tough situations.One day the Gods told Blue Raven

that they would make a tree and thattree would carry his lovely soul. Hecalled it Cedar. We use so much of itbecause it is the tree of life and loveit will keep things good and strong.But legend has it that if you take apiece of bark from the cedar treeand hold it to the moon at midnightyou can make a wish. It can’t be justany wish like “I want to be the Chiefof this tribe” it has to be somethingthat you want to disappear. “Like theEuropeans” I said, “No, little Eaglethey do not bring misery,” smiledgrandma Bowen. “For me they do,”and I left the longhouse. “Goodday Dad,” “Good day daughter,” hegrinned. “Can I please use some ofthe bark from that cedar tree you’reworking with?” “Yes Sasha, but whatdo you need it for?” “Oh nothing” Ismiled and ran off.

That night I grabbed the barkand waited till midnight and wishedthe Europeans had never come. Ifound myself awake in my bed toyelling and screaming, but it wasn’tthe Europeans it was my brotherNemesh fighting with my sisterMatamek. Then I had wild berries forbreakfast and helped make clotheswith my mother and do you knowwhat I stitched on the front of myshirt? A Cedar tree :)

Bounty Huntingby Luke B.Grade 10-12 Fiction

Chills of cold prairie air blewagainst Wilbur’s eyes as he posi-tioned the rifle. The sun dipped on thehorizon. Focusing in, Wilbur followedPapa’s instructions. The coyote waslocked into the rifle crosshairs. Wilburbreathed the arctic air. The broadlandscape held an eerie quietness.The snowflakes in the air stood still asWilbur slowly moved the trigger withhis finger. In what seemed like eternity,his finger triggered the rifle, sending abullet deep into the coyote’s flesh.

Praising his son for killing his firstcoyote, Papa Charles helped carrytheir family’s income for the weekback to the snow plane. During thelong and harsh prairie winters, Papahad no choice but to hunt for food andbounties that would make ends meetfor his family.

A storm was rolling across theplains, as the snowfall was muchworse than it was in the morning.Placing the coyote in the three skiedsnow plane, Papa Charles fearedthe worst. Not expecting the heavysnowfall, the wooden skis on the

snow plane would not hold the weightof himself and Wilbur as well as thebounty.

Looking up at the seemingly com-plex machinery, Papa insisted Wilburto travel alone with the coyote. Thedim moonlight stared down throughthe dense prairie fog. Reassuring, PapaCharles stated he would survive thenight in the bush.

Using a pocket compass to directhimself home, Wilbur courageouslymaneuvered the massive propelledmachine across the snow coveredprairie fields.

Arriving at the farmhouse Wilburbreathed a sigh of relief as he man-aged to power through an unforgivingwinter storm. He forgot the coyote thatlay behind the front seat. Tired anddelirious, the “little boy that could”hopped out onto fresh powder snow.Wild coyotes began to howl from afarin the precarious abyss of fog that layacross the open fields. Wilbur admiredhis first bounty and the exuberantstories he would tell in the schoolyardthe following day.

Reaching for the coyote, its darkgrey eyes looked swiftly towardsWilbur. Sheer terror fell over Wilbur’sbody as the coyote started to move.

The whimpering coyote was re-gather-ing its strength. Wilbur was paralyzedfor an instant as a strong gust ofwind and snow blew through his hair.Suddenly jumping into action Wilbursearched the front of the plane for therifle. Adrenaline was pumping through-out Wilbur’s body as he grabbed therifle and aimed at his target. A singleshot echoed out across the stormyflats. With a sigh of relief Wilbur wascomforted- the danger had passed.

Greg’s Wild Adventureby Nicholas T.Grade K-2 Fiction

Then Greg asked, “Who are you?”Then the stranger said softly, “I ama pirate.” Greg was about to shout,“Dad”, but then the pirate coveredGreg’s mouth and put handcuffs onhim. The pirate took Greg through thegates and into a fancy limo.

Inside the limo Greg saw a small

T.V., gold, jewels, a backpack and twofierce pirates sitting beside him. Gregwished he could take the jewels butthe pirates would tell their captain.Next the limo came to a stop in themiddle of nowhere.

Greg saw nothing the pirate said,“1, 2, 3, go.” Suddenly a secretpassageway appeared. So they wentinside. They turned right ten times andleft eleven times. Then they went toa mine that hadn’t been open in fiftyyears. Next they went in a mine cart.Greg saw some dynamite in the cart,but it wasn’t an ordinary type of dyna-mite. It was sleeping dynamite. Gregthought, “If only there was a match Icould light the dynamite and escape.”Then Greg saw a lighter in the corner.He lit the dynamite and without thepirates seeing, he jumped out of thecart and ran. Finally he jumped intothe limo and he drove away as fast ashe could.

When he got home he sawflames of green smoke coming inthe distance. It was getting dark andGreg heard his Dad calling, “Greg it isbedtime.”

Then Greg rushed inside to go tobed.

What a crazy day!

The city’s vibrant music and arts scenewill be showcased in the summertimeJam in Jubilee concerts, which start nextmonth and runs Thursday nights until

the end of August.Jam in Jubilee is a joyous free three-hour event

in the heart of the old city that’s billed by its orga-nizers as Abbotsford’s “premier arts and musicalfestival.”

The talent-packed outdoor concerts featurethree bands a night, a few of which includeChilliwack’s Canadiana roots band The Tractor-grease Folk, Vancouver’s beach rockers Satori Tidebacked by local favourites Harma White, and theAbbotsford Youth Orchestra led by Calvin Dyck.

There’s also Joe Willoughby, Random Dander,jazzy Courteney Rodda & the Other Guys, andOh No, Yoko!

Even Abbotsford’s Mayor Bruce Banman is get-ting in the act this year, “crooning” a few numbersto pay tribute to Sinatra on opening night of theconcert series, which is July 11.

And if three bands a night weren’t enough, theevenings include a side stage with other perfor-mance amusements on between musical sets, artshows, an artisan market, food vendors, a beergarden, plus a short film contest and festival inAugust.

All this ambitious organizing is done by theyouthful inhabitants of the Atangard Commu-nity Project, a low-cost housing co-operative thatoccupies the second floor of the Fraser Valley Innin the historic downtown.

A committee of about a dozen volunteers haverun the JNJ events for the past four years, a rolethey took over from the Abbotsford DowntownBusiness Association, which ran the summerconcerts for five years before that.

“People do it because they really care about theircommunity,” said Sophia Suderman, an organizersand Atangard resident.

While the musical acts definitely draw the youngadult crowd, the diverse activities and displaysmake the Jam in Jubilee evenings friendly for allages, Suderman said.

In previous years visitors have enjoyed playingwith giant checkers and Scrabble, or watchingartists at work.

It’s a fun way for local residents to rediscoverthe historic little park, and you never know whattreasure you might find as the summer goes on.

Organizers’ efforts have paid off as averagecrowds in recent years have grown to around 700people a night, with some evenings drawing asmany as 1,000 to Jubilee Park, said Suderman.

During last year’s film festival night, she said600 people stayed to watch the locally producedshort movies.

The venue also gives local bands valuable expo-sure and allows local audiences to discover some ofthe many talented groups based in Abbotsford.

The organizers also make and effort to presentdifferent genres of music to the concert goers, saidthe team’s artistic director Stephen O’Shea, whoalso a member of the band You Say Party.

“This is the event we can do when summeris nice for people who love and appreciate livemusic. It’s the largest public display of the localmusic scene. It’s really worth the effort,” he said.

Despite the work involved to make it happen,“we’re always looking for ways to make it biggerand better,” such as developing an after darkindoor concert series for next year to give local

musicians even more face to face time with audi-ences, said Suderman.

The concerts are definitely a labour of love, withsupport from Abbotsford parks and recreation,and lots of in-kind help and donations from spon-sors, said O’Shea.

Volunteers are great, too – you’re welcome tocome volunteer with the events, he said.

Organizers are still accepting vendors, artists forthe art market. Film submissions are also beingaccepted, for the grand finale festival on Aug. 8.

Jam in Jubilee begins July 11 and runs everyThursday night until Aug. 15 in Jubilee Park, atMcCallum and South Fraser Way in historic down-town Abbotsford, next to the lawn bowling cluband the Park Hotel.

The market opens at 6 p.m., and the music is onfrom 7 – 10 p.m. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket,and a sweater or jacket for cool nights.

I s it not curious thatamidst the abundanceof rhetoric about mar-

riage these days, children,the normally expected out-comes of marriage, are sorarely mentioned?

Curious, did I say? No, it istragic – no, more than tragic– it is disastrous.

The total concern nowa-days on both sides of themarriage question is aboutthe rightness or wrongnessof consenting adults’ livingarrangements, desires, wel-fare and enjoyment.

“Children?” I hear you ask,“Ha-ha, yes of course, chil-dren. What about them?”

Well for a starter, if ourparents had not had chil-dren you and I wouldn’teven exist. Right?

Let’s get real. Havingchildren is important. Theoriginal and fundamentalreason for marriage was andis the survival of the humanrace. If the human race isto survive and since all ofus will eventually die, wemust replace ourselves – no,even more than replace our-selves.

The first commandmentin the Bible is found in Gen.1:28 where God says toAdam and Eve,

“Be fruitful and multiplyand replenish the earth.”

Children are our mostprecious assets.

Having them, protecting,

nourishing and trainingthem in a loving environ-ment is the most importanttask we will ever have and iswhat marriage and “family”is really all about.

Don’t get me wrong.Marriage is not only aboutraising children. It is alsoabout the growing, intimate,happy, satisfying, lovingrelationship of a husbandand wife that is meant tolast a lifetime.

But it’s about our childrentoo. In contrast to the off-spring of every other livingcreature, the human babyis much more helpless anddependent and for a longerperiod of time.

Incidentally, it has beenwell documented that forbalanced nurture and train-ing they also need the influ-ence of both a mother andfather.

Hence, in the very natureof things, it is to society’sadvantage to do everythingpossible to aid and assistmarriage and keep familiesintact.

In contemporary society,divorce is the great destroy-er of children and young

people. Children need tofeel secure in their fam-ily life in order to matureand become positive andproductive members of thecommunity.

It is sad to say, but no-fault divorce is the order ofthe day and has becomethe easy out for self-centredadults who have fooledthemselves that “the kidswill survive OK.” Some do.Most carry the scars for life.

I wish I could say that inthe community of faith chil-dren fare better. They don’t.

To our shame, the divorcerate in our churches is onlymarginally less than insociety at large – so muchfor being “the light of theworld” and “the salt of theearth.” Forgive us children,forgive us. And forgive usLord.

Hear Jesus’ words: “. . .whoever causes one of theselittle ones (children) whobelieve in me, to stumble,it is better for him that aheavy millstone be hungaround his neck and that hebe drowned in the depths ofthe sea” (Matthew 18:6).

If these words do not joltus awake, they should.

The darling of Deroche, Brooklyn Kraak-man, who just wrapped up her firstyear in the women’s golf program at

Alabama State University, took first place atthe 36th annual Ledgeview Ladies AmateurSunday with a two-day total 146.

She shot a five-over 76 on Saturday, butcame back for a one-under par 70 on thesecond day for the win.

At 19, she is now old enough to play in theLedgeview ladies tourney.

“I was excited to finally play in it,” she saidof the course where she won the club cham-pionship two years ago as a junior.

“The course was in good shape, it was areally good event to be in. It was fun,” shesaid.

“Me and Karen [Pultz] were tied comingto the 17th hole on the second day. It wascompetitive.”

But all that changed on the 17th where

Kraakman birdied and Pultz shot two over.“I sealed [the win] with a birdie on the last

hole,” she said.Cousin Janelle Kraakman, 19, also of Der-

oche captured third place with a 150, just onebehind Pultz of Surrey who came in at 149.

Both Kraakman cousins just finished theirfirst year at Alabama State in Montgomery.

“School was good, but I strugged with golfa bit,” admitted Brooklyn. “Mentally it washard; I didn’t play that well.”

She said she can’t wait to go back in thefall and redeem her golf games. There willbe a lot of competitions for the cousins withsix tournaments in first semester and sevenslated for 2014.

She’s happy with the team and her coaches,and she loves the Alabama courses. But she’sglad to be back in Deroche for the summer,working at Cedar Ridge Golf Course in Mis-sion and competing in local tournaments.

“It’s nice to be home and have my dad [Wal-ter] help me too. He knows me inside and out.He knows what I’m thinking,” she said.

Brooklyn is currently playing in the four-day BC Women’s Amateur Championship inPitt Meadows, where she’s tied for 29th aftertwo days of competition.

She shot 79 (+6) and 80 (+11) for a 159, 16strokes behind leader Soo-Bin Kim of PortCoquitlam.

It was one heck of a way to celebrate abirthday, but for Jane Dahl, who turned 39

on Saturday, and running partnerSarah McIntosh, 43, the ToughMudder competition at Whistlerwas the perfect way to mark themilestone.

Dahl and McIntosh, both reg-istered psychiatric nurses at theAbbotsford hospital and mara-thon runners, together with 11others on Abbotsford’s Doing Family Rightteam, raised $29,000 for their ministry.

“We love a challenge and it’s an extremeevent and something to train for,” said Dahl.

Their team, which came together fromarea churches to support this cause, ranged

in age from 29 to 57 and encompassed allfitness levels.

The 18-kilometre Whistler course put par-ticipants through a series of military-styleobstacles designed to test stamina, strength

and mental toughness. This yearabout 19,000 had signed up for the

two-day event, which was one of 50Tough Mudder venues held aroundthe world this year.

McIntosh described some of theobstacles: the Artic Enema, a coldwater plunge into a tank of icewater; Electric Eels, a belly crawl

though muddy water with electric wiresdangling overhead; the walk the plank witha 20-foot drop into very cold water (“You feellike you’re flying because you’re falling for solong”); the Mud Mile and wall climbs of eightand 10 feet.

These were just some of the obstacles alongthe 18 kilometres of mountain terrain.

For Dahl and McIntosh, it was their secondforay into the Mudder competition.

“To actually face your fears and push pastthem, that’s why I did it again,” said McIn-tosh. “It is really rewarding to know you’veconquered a fear.

“When the body is tired, stressed, anxious– to be able to push past what you think isyour limit and go beyond that is a real confi-dence builder.”

The Abbotsford women stayed together onthe course and finished in two hours, 50 min.which was faster than last year’s time.

The Tough Mudder is not a race but a testof endurance and fortitude.

“And commaraderie,” added Dahl. “Every-one helps each other over the wall. It’s like themilitary, ‘leave no man behind’ kind of thing.It was the best way to spend my birthday.”
