Crow Quill Night Owls kept the Mission Folk Music Festival crowd entertained with their unique hillbilly bluegrass sound, described as ‘post-modern jug band music’ on Saturday afternoon. The annual weekend-long festival was another huge success. See page 25 and www.abbotsfordtimes.com for more photos.

Three youths involved in the Abbotsford hit-and-run early Saturday that left a 17-year-

old girl with two broken legs have surrendered to police.

The three teenage males turned themselves in at Abbotsford Police station at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, accompanied by their parents, said

Const. Ian MacDonald. The truck involved in the hit-and-

run has been seized and all three teenagers are facing charges.

The victim and her two friends were sitting at a bus stop on George

Ferguson Way near Gladwin Road just prior to 1 a.m. on Saturday when a white Dodge pickup with silver rims slowed down and the occupants began throwing eggs at the girls.

“The victim is hit by eggs, and as you can imagine, doesn’t take kindly to it,” said MacDonald. “She approaches the vehicle to confront them and it accelerates away. She’s standing to the side and gets tan-gled in the wheels.”

It would be clear to the driver and passengers that something went wrong, he added.

Hundreds of people packedan open house hosted by

Abbotsford Community Services around its controversial housingproject for homeless men.

Both proponents and critics ofthe proposed 20-bed low-barrierfacility attended the information session.

The project, a supportive tran-sitional housing project in thedowntown area where men who are homeless or at risk of beinghomeless can live for up to two years, has caused extensive fric-tion in the community.

As a “housing first” initiative,the facility adjacent to ACS at2408 Montvue Ave. wouldn’t require residents to stop usingdrugs or alcohol before obtain-ing a stable home. Rather, they’dbe encouraged to take treatmentand other services once theyhave stable shelter.

The Abbotsford Downtown Business Association, which opposes the project’s locationand the rezoning necessary forit to go ahead, has launched apetition against the facility.

ADBA and many of its mem-bers feel the residence will impact businesses in the his-toric downtown core and drawcrime and open-air drug use to the area.

In turn, the ACS has launched a website and education cam-paign to address “misinforma-tion” around the project.

Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Ban-man said the community divi-sion and polarized nature ofthe debate over the project iscounterproductive.

Banman intervenes on ACS issueMayor tells organizations to ‘get together’ to solve dispute

Ayoung family is verylucky to be alive follow-

ing an early morning blazeat a rental property in the5200 block of Beharrell Roadon Matsqui Prairie Mondaymorning.

The parents woke up to the smell of smoke about 6 a.m. and were able to get allfour of their children, agesone to six, out of the houseand to safety, said assistant fire chief Dave Rivett.

“They were extremely for-tunate. They did not havea smoke detector in the house,” he said. “They broke a window and got the kidsout through a window on the first floor.”

Six Abbotsford fire halls responded to the fire, which was “well involved on ourarrival,” said Rivett.

They were able to save part of the house, but the tenants’contents were a total loss.Two dogs also perished inthe fire, although one dogwas saved.

The couple had no insur-ance and is being helped out in the short term by emer-gency social services.

Approximately 30 firefight-ers responded to the blaze,and two suffered minor injuries (to a shoulder and ahand), added Rivett.

“The house is pretty muchof a write-off,” said Rivett. “Itwas an old farm house.”

The damage estimate is atleast $200,000. While inves-tigators don’t know the exactcause of the fire, it’s been deemed accidental.

Forest fire in MissionA fire that started in a log-

ging slash off Burma Road in Mission Sunday morningis now out and crews were mopping up hot spots onMonday.

Reports of smoke came into Mission Fire Rescue at 8 a.m.Sunday. Crews found a lock tothe access gate was cut and an active fire, which ultimatelyspread about three hectares into the forest north of the Stave Lake boat launch.

Wildfire Management Branch launched two heli-copters and a water bomberto contain the fire.

It was an opportunity for hand-shakes, autographs and photo ops for semi-giddy Justin fans dur-

ing an appearance in Abbotsford on Wednesday.

That’s Justin Trudeau, mind you, not the “Bieber.”

But the buzz around the federal Lib-eral leader while in Abbotsford was not unlike one that a pop star might generate.

Trudeau, 41, made a quick stop for an unofficial meet and greet at the home of longtime supporter and friend Jati Sidhu in the late afternoon, before making his way into Surrey for a fund-raising dinner.

Trudeau has been travelling with his wife and two children in an RV tour from the Interior of B.C. to Vancouver this week, making stops to meet with people in public settings along the way

in communities such as Cranbrook, Trail, Nelson and Kamloops.

The tour, his first in B.C. since being elected as Liberal leader, is relaxed in approach and typifies the way he likes to do politics, Trudeau said.

“I’m just meeting with as many peo-ple across the province as I possibly can in very casual and informal set-tings,” he said.

“It’s just about talking about politics in a way that is focused on engaging people and leaving room for people and citizens in politics.

“We tend to sit back and grumble about what happens in Ottawa.

“Well, we can change that.” In visiting Abbotsford, Trudeau said

he wasn’t necessarily trying to make a dent in the heartland of federal Con-servative support in B.C.

“I don’t worry too much about where we might be strong or weak, honestly,” he said. “With 35 seats for the Liberals we’re weak just about everywhere.

“There’s an awful lot of rebuilding to do.”

Trudeau said he’s been thrilled by his reception in all the communities he’s hit during the tour, whether they are Liberal ridings or not.

“What I’ve been really touched by, even in places that haven’t been Liberal in an awfully long time, is there’s an openness to my message,” he said.

“Communities like this keep sending people who they hope will be strong voices for them in Ottawa, and instead, they get back strong voices for the Prime Minister in their community.

“And people everywhere across the country know they deserve better than that.”

Sidhu, who has worked with the Liberal party in the valley for years, said Trudeau stopped in Abbotsford to thank everyone who had helped locally during his leadership race.

Trudeau has brought a spirit of renewal to the Liberal party, both among longtime supporters and new adherents, said Sidhu.

“He connects instantly with young people,” he said.

“He creates a sense of involvement and there’s a lot of momentum there.”

Just in for a visit– ROCHELLE BAKER/TIMES

Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau speaks at the home of long-time supporter Jati Sidhu, Wednesday afternoon. Trudeau stopped by Sidhu’s residence en route to a planned function in Surrey. He was touring the southern part of the province with hisfamily last week, his first tour of B.C. since winning the leadership. Inset, Trudeau thanks Sidhu for the hospitality.

Aspecial prosecutor will take on the case of four suspects in a recent home invasion at the residence

of the son of Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas.

Joseph M. Doyle is now special pros-ecutor for the case involving the accused Armand Charles Belisle, Dylan Michel Majorel, Jakob Mosterd, and Samantha Dawn Patenaude, stated spokesman Neil MacKenzie of the Criminal Justice Branch in a press release Friday.

The suspects are charged with rob-bery, break and enter and the use of a firearm in the commission of an offence in connection with the July 20 incident at the home of Ryan Plecas, the son of MLA Darryl Plecas, also parliamentary secretary to the Justice Minister.

Assistant Deputy Attorney General Joyce DeWitt-Van Oosten concluded it was necessary to appoint a special pros-ecutor to avoid any potential for real or perceived improper influence in the administration of criminal justice.

Doyle will now do a review of the existing charges and the Abbotsford Police Department’s investigation and come to the charge decision he consid-ers appropriate.

He will also be responsible for offer-ing legal advice to APD if further inves-tigation is required, and for providing a written report to DeWitt-Van Oosten with his review results.

Should Doyle determine prosecu-

tion of the accused is warranted, he will undertake it and any following appeals.

Ryan Plecas, 25, suffered non-life-threatening injuries after escaping the suspects in his home by leaping from his second floor balcony.

The suspects, who were brandishing firearms, pushed their way into the apartment in the 3100 block of Gladwin Road at 11 p.m., according to police.

Three men, who were wearing bala-clavas, roughed up the victim, demand-ing he turn over cash and firearms from a gun safe inside the suite.

Plecas reportedly complied, but then jumped down two storeys to escape his attackers.

Witnesses and other residents who saw a man leap from the balcony called police, who located Plecas on the ground in pain.

BUSINESS OF THE WEEK


“They would know they’ve caused a prob-lem. There would have been screaming . . . they would have seen her still on the ground in the rear view [mirror].”

The victim, who is recovering in hospital, suffered a number of upper and lower frac-tures to both her legs.

The driver of the truck is facing a charge of hit and run causing bodily harm and the two passengers are facing charges of assault.

None of the three suspects have had nega-tive contacts in the past with police, said MacDonald.

“These are young men who made horrible

decisions that have now negatively impacted their lives and the lives of others,” he said.

“They end up not just causing mischief, but actually assaulting people [with eggs]. And when things go horribly wrong and they run down a pedestrian . . . they don’t take ownership or responsibility for it until 16 hours later.”

The three youths told police that they didn’t realize the victim was seriously hurt, said MacDonald.

However, now the 17-year-old will be spending the summer nursing two seriously broken legs, he said.

“It’s not a stretch to say she could have been killed.”

ARRESTS, from page A1

Victim ‘could have been killed’

“I think Abbotsford Community Services and the ADBA and residents need to get together in one room and talk about their positions and come to a compromise,” said Banman.

“It would make council’s decision a lot easier.”

The mayor said “smart” developers work with neighbours to address concerns.

He also noted the project would help address the problem of homelessness.

“Canada is one of the richest nations in the world and Abbotsford is the most giving com-munity nine years running,” he said.

“I think with all that, everybody should be able to come up with a solution that will be satisfactory. This battling back and forth and

all the negative comments on websites . . . it’s combative and not helpful.”

Tina Stewart, ADBA executive, said at least 40 members of the business association attended to ask questions.

Stewart said that the ADBA was “open to sitting down” with the ACS but no request or date had been set to arrange a meeting.

The ADBA wasn’t opposed to the initiative, just its location, said Stewart.

The business association will now decide whether to hold a meeting in the near future for its own members, she said.

The ACS rezoning application still has to come before council for consideration and will be subject to more public input.

The popular Heat in the Street neighbourhood

event that features children and emergency responders playing ball hockey together is back for a third season.

The second of three eve-nings is set to take place on Thursday, Aug. 1 from 7 – 9 p.m. at W.J. Mouat Secondary School, 32355 Mouat Dr.

The Heat in the Street series sees volunteers from local fire, police and ambulance authorities head into local neighbourhoods and host fun, non-competitive hockey games, said fire inspector Martin Sunderland.

Two games are run concur-rently, one for kids 12 and under and one for teens.

All the necessary hockey equipment is supplied to players and there is no cost to participate.

Children can also take part in other fun activities, chat with emergency respond-ers and check out fire trucks, police cars and ambulances.

There will also be special surprise guests and snacks that are provided by local sponsors.

The event allows emergen-cy responders to build con-nections with the residents of different neighbourhoods within the city in a fun and casual environment, said

Sunderland. It is especially important

for building trust between children and firefighters and police officers, he added.

“It opens doors for conver-sations and connections that normally don’t exist,” said Sunderland.

“Us u a l l y w e a t t e n d a neighbourhood when there’s a crisis. This gives us the opportunity to get to know a neighbourhood in different circumstances.”

■ The third and final event is Thursday, Aug. 22 from 7 – 9 p.m. at Ecole Margaret Sten-ersen Elementary School, 3060, Old Clayburn Road.

OF THEMONTH

MISSIONABBOTSFORD


The Abbotsford/Mission Times is a division of LMP Publication Limited Partnership.We’re published Tuesdays and Thursdays from 30887Peardonville Rd., Abbotsford, B.C.

Two more people drowned last week – one in the Okanagan and another on

Vancouver Island, after the July 18, drown-ing of a 21-year-old Port Coquitlam man in Alouette Lake.

So far this year, 43 people have drowned in B.C., almost twice as many as at the same time last year.

The Lifesaving Society of B.C. and the Yukon keeps track, and said drowning numbers are rising over the long term.

No one should have to avoid going to B.C.’s lakes and waterways. In addition to offering stunning scenery and recreation opportunities, they can be vital during hot spells at providing places for people to cool off, but B.C. lakes, rivers, creeks, and water-courses are also places where people can get into trouble.

Swimming in a lake is different from swimming in a pool. Bodies of water have their own currents, and lake and river water levels change throughout the year. The temperature of natural water bodies is usu-ally colder, as well.

People can’t assume that, because a lake site or other waterfront spot is public, there will be help at hand.

Cutbacks have meant there are few life-guards at public lakes and swimming spots around B.C. And it takes time for emergen-cy crews to get to these spots.

As has been shown, a person can drown or get into serious trouble even when sur-rounded by hundreds of people.

Often, by the time a person realizes he or she is in trouble, there is neither energy nor voice to summon help.

Always use safety gear in or near water, keep the booze at home, and before any risky behaviours or extreme adventures, always assume you are not as good a swim-mer/diver/boater as you imagine.

◗ Opinion

It’s time to stir the pot debateWith Dana Larsen and

his Sensible BC entou-rage making a stop in

Abbotsford last week, the pot legalization/decriminalization issue reared its contentious head once again.

And, like always, there is a wealth of propaganda on both sides of the debate.

For the record, I don’t smoke pot. Am I against its legaliza-tion? No. But I do think it should only be legalized for the right reasons, and that’s where I don’t understand some of market-ing angles used by proponents – particularly the “for a safer B.C.” angle.

Preach the medical benefits of the marijuana plant, of which there are many. Preach the economic benefits, particularly for B.C., that would come with legalization. But don’t tell me that the legalization of pot will make the province safer. That’s ludicrous.

How would it be safer? Would gang violence end, or even sub-side? Absolutely not. The gangs aren’t going to say, “Oh well, I guess it’s all over for us. It’s been a slice, now let’s go out and get law-abiding jobs.” For starters, there would still be nine other provinces, as well as the terri-tories, to supply in this country alone – not to mention the United States.

And when it does become universally legal (because even-tually it will), the gangs will simply turn to more lucrative contraband, be it cocaine, the designer drug of the day (i.e.

ecstasy), human trafficking … whatever makes them the most money.

The crime reduction angle was used as one of the argu-ments to end Prohibition.

How’s that working out? The illegal booze trade in Canada has been estimated to be as high as a billion dollars a year.

Want more proof the crimi-nal element will not subside? Simple possession of marijuana is not a crime in Columbia. Now there’s a place I’d want to raise my children: not.

The opponents are no better with their misleading, “partial” truths.Fear mongers will state that marijuana has in excess of 400 chemicals. Yes, that is true, depending on what strain of marijuana is tested. But the question is, how does that corre-late to anything? It doesn’t.

Cigarettes have in excess if 4,000 chemicals, so in com-parison, marijuana is extremely pure. Certain coffees have more than 1,500 chemicals, accord-ing to chemistry websites. So is coffee three times as bad as marijuana?

Yes, marijuana is a gateway drug. Anyone who argues against that does not under-stand the term “gateway”. That said, contrary to what opposers claim, a gateway is not neces-sarily a preamble. It’s simply

something that COULD lead to other things.

Yes, the majority of those who have used cocaine, or heroin, used marijuana first. The major-ity of them tried alcohol first. And the vast majority of them also used caffeine first. In the argument of gateway drugs, caf-feine is, by leaps and bounds, the most prevalent gateway drug there is. Do we dare sug-gest it should be illegalized? Of course not. Too many big busi-nesses make billions of dollars through our caffeine addictions.

Ironically, while oppo-nents condemn marijuana as unhealthy, the health benefits of marijuana are what should – and will – ultimately pave the way towards its widespread legality.

The list of its medicinal ben-efits is long, and getting longer every week. Do I smoke weed? No. But I will tell you what; I have friends who have died from cancer, I have friends who are fighting cancer and I have friends who will get cancer in the future. And if using mari-juana can ease the pain they are going through, I’m all for them using it, and having as easy access to it as possible.

More to the point, there’s hard evidence through studies done in universities – including Har-vard – that marijuana can actu-ally cure cancer. Is there anyone out there so against marijuana as to not allow a cancer patient to be cured of the horrible dis-ease? If so, you need to rethink your priorities.

Editor, the Times:As someone who provides

marketing and brand advice to businesses throughout the Fraser Valley, I have watched with interest the negative attention local downtown merchants have given this issue.

I respect the rights of all to speak their minds, but make sure you do it with all the facts – and be aware that you are affecting your brand in the public eye.

The petitions full of inaccuracies that many merchants are encouraging visitors to sign are damag-ing whatever stock they may have built in the area of cor-porate social responsibility, by articulating views that suggest that they may only be paying lip service to the idea of being community contributors.

Were these merchants my clients, I would advise them to consider the brand damage that they may be incurring by speaking out without educating them-selves about the facts of this project.

Whatever decision an individual or business own-er makes about this project – let it be made with all the facts. Do your research and make a decision based on reality.

Wendy McClellandAbbotsford

I feel safe downtownEditor, the Times:

As a resident of downtown Abbotsford, I can say with valid first-hand experience what it is like to share a neighbourhood with “those people” – the ones who are commonly “othered,” stig-matized and singled out of participation with the larger community.

I have been lucky enough to meet, speak with and befriend some of our com-munity members who are the most frequently ignored. Many people have asked me recently if I feel safe living on Essendene Avenue – yes, I do.

In fact, I feel protected.

I have never been harmed. I have never been spoken to unkindly, I have never been robbed, I have never felt unsafe, I have never had my personal space violated.

Yet, daily, I’ve heard sto-ries of the homeless who have had all of these experi-ences. There is no protec-tion for them – not even from the cold.

Even with all the informa-tion and knowledge pro-vided in education, media and lessons of the past, it appears that we’d rather see people sleeping on the streets then on beds.

In a camouflaged panic, it seems the ADBA has mis-informed many business owners and citizens, caus-ing alarm and unnecessary fear.

The only way this issue can be resolved is with com-munity resource manage-ment and communication.

In all development proj-ects across the globe, just by providing the basic neces-sity of shelter, one’s quality of life improves, and the result to the surrounding community is almost always positive.

This project is likely one of the most positive initia-tives this city has seen in decades.

If local downtown busi-nesses are so concerned about customer and profit loss, they might want to draw their attention to Highstreet shopping centre.

Lia Bishop Abbotsford

Stop the insanity; get off the potEditor, the Times:

The headline in the July 23 issue of the Times reads “Pot debate heating up again.”

Will this ‘insanity’never stop?

There are so many negative effects caused by

marijuana that it would be impossible to list them all.

According to U.S. DEA a large percentage of those arrested for crimes test positive for marijuana:

“Forty per cent of adult males tested positive at time of arrest. Of adults 26 or older who used marijuana before the age of 15, 62 per cent went on to use cocaine at some point in their lives, nine per cent went on to use heroin at least once and 54 per cent made non-medical use of mind-altering pre-scription drugs.”

Next to alcohol, mari-juana is the second-most frequently found substance in the bodies of drivers involved in fatal automobile accidents.

Marijuana contains more than 400 known chemicals, including the same cancer causing substances found in tobacco and 50-70 per cent more cancer causing sub-stances than tobacco.

Pot smokers tend to inhale deeply and hold smoke worsening damage to the lungs.

THC stays in the body for weeks or months, depend-ing on usage. THC damages the immune system, male sperm etc.

Let’s protect our youth. Say “no” to the harmful and possibly addictive drug, marijuana.

Eric Myrholm, Abbotsford

Challenge to the challengedEditor, the Times:

Re: Religious groups dic-tate bigotry (letter to the editor, Times, July 9): “Jesus was against marriage”?

He was the One who cre-ated it.

“Religiously challenged?” Take a look in the mirror, Mr. Rock.

Buckle up for the rodeoSaddle up and come on down to the Thun-

der Bowl for the Mighty Fraser Rodeo which runs Friday through Sunday starting at 6 p.m. at Abbotsford’s Agrifair.

Professional cowboys and cowgirls who ride the rodeo circuit will be making a stop in Abbotsford for some high-flying saddle bronc, bareback and bull riding, team roping, steer wrestling and barrell racing for the ladies. All are members of the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association.

Rodeo clown JJ Harrison will be in the ring, entertaining the crowd and keeping the cow-boys safe. For the past five years he’s held the

title “Northwest Clown of the Year.”Hailing from Okanogan, Wash., Harrison

started as a bull and bronc rider, and taught science and social studies at Walla Walla Middle School, but later decided to follow his career path of being a full-time rodeo clown.

“I would say I’m just a ball of dancing ener-gy,” he said (on his website). “I think comedy and comic relief are both a very important part of rodeo and its entertainment value.”

The two-hour Mighty Fraser Rodeo is sure to thrill rodeo fans of all ages.

Saddle bronc is just one of the rodeo events that will take place at the Thunder Bowl. There are rodeo performances on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, starting at 6 p.m. each evening.

Come and witness an important part of Cana-

dian history and enjoy a colourful, musical, and active display of equestrian skill and military tradition by the Strathcona Mounted Troop.

Comprised of 20 horses and 25 Royal Canadian sol-diers dressed in period uni-form, the troops will perform a 35-minute Musical Ride, including a tent-pegging demonstration, each day throughout the long week-end to commemorate their national military heritage and cavalry traditions.

They will perform Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the Thunderbowl and on Mon-day in the Agrifair Arena.

The Strathcona Mounted Troop, originally formed by Donald Smith (Lord Strath-cona and Mounted Royal) in the year 1900 during the “Wild, Wild West” era, was a regiment of cavalry con-sisting of Canadian cowboys and frontiersmen as well as members of the North West Mounted Police.

This regiment of cowboys and frontiersmen fought bravely on horseback in sev-eral small and bloody battles throughout the South African Boer War, many members hired as scouts due to their background as cowboys and frontiersmen.

As the Second World War

approached in 1939, the Strathcona Mounted Troop was disbanded and replaced by heavy-armoured cavalry.

In order to preserve its history and keep tradition alive, the current ceremonial Strathcona Mounted Troop (formed in 1977) performs at various fairs and rodeos throughout the country each year.

Twenty-five soldiers proud-ly volunteer their time for up to two years, caring for their mounts and equipment, as well as taking part in training and cavalry drills.

During this time they must also carry out active military duties.

Horse maintenance, uni-forms and equipment are paid for through the Strath-cona Mounted Troop Foun-dation, which rel ies on donations and honorariums received by its members, ser-vice clubs, private individu-als, as well as cities and other organizations.

Don’t miss your opportuni-ty to see this historical event and keep our living history alive.

Grab a corn dog, a plate of deep-fried pickles or mini

donuts and snag a seat in the stands for two favourites – The West Coast Lumberjack Show and the Demolition Derby.

The West Coast Lumber-jack Show, featuring big, brawny lumberjacks facing off against each other in a test of strength, speed, accuracy, balance, and skill, represents the thrilling and dangerous forest industry of B.C.

Roaring crowds cheer on the lumberjacks as they battle each other through a gauntlet of climbing, saw-ing, chopping and balancing matches.

“We are awesome!” affirms Darren Dean, owner of the West Coast Lumberjack Show. Returning to Agrifair after three seasons away, Dean has planned an action-packed 45-minute extravaganza to be showcased three times a day throughout the Agrifair long weekend.

“Our lumberjacks were fea-tured on ‘Canada’s Got Talent’ and ‘Bachelor Canada’ last year,” remarks Dean. “They also appeared in ‘The Amaz-ing Race Australia.’”

It’s been six years since the Demolition Derby unleashed its automotive carnage at Agrifair and due to popular demand they are back for more car-on-car combat to thrill crowds once again.

“This is a live-action family event that people of all ages like to come and see,” said Ross Edwards, a 45-year-plus vet-eran of the derby. “Spectators cheer on their favourite car and see how long it can last.”

This year the Demolition Derby, a full-contact motor sport, has something special. “We’re bringing out minivans to the death!” said Edwards. “There will be half a dozen minivans stripped out for a Figure-8 race.”

Whether driving forward, backwards, or sideways, con-testants must out-drive and out-manoeuvre one another to win this race.

The Demolition Derby, s p o n s o re d by Pl a y t i m e Chances Abbotsford Casino, is scheduled to roar into action on Monday, Aug. 5 for an adrenaline-pumping hour of excitement.

Both are family-friendly action-packed shows popular for people of all ages.

Fireworks are back Friday night at 10:15 p.m. for a daz-zling display you won’t want to miss. It has been three years since they last lit up the night sky at Agrifair and due to popular demand are back for another year.

What’s going on?Rugby teams battle it out on Saturday

More than 20 men’s and women’s teams in three divi-sions will compete in the Abbotsford Kukri Sevens’ Abbotsford Rugby Club tour-nament on Aug. 3 at Exhibi-tion Park.

Sevens, a fast paced style of rugby played around the world, debuts in the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. The real appeal is that it is spectator-friendly, demanding no prior knowl-edge of the sport to feel the sheer excitement and grati-fication a 15-minute game can provide.

Sports fanatics and on-lookers should come out and enjoy the sun and fes-tivities. Cheer teams on from the beer garden or observe from the sidelines for a high-speed, thrilling and totally entertaining display of ath-leticism.

Three matches will be scheduled simultaneously throughout the day begin-ning at 9 a.m. till 6 p.m.

Learn to cook Wild West style with Dez

Don’t settle for regular ol’ chuckwagon grub, but instead impress your family and guests with some amaz-ing “Wild, Wild West” themed gourmet dishes.

Learn how to make Cajun Chicken with Black Bean Succotash, World’s Best Corn-bread, Grilled Vegetable Salad

with Blueberry Vinaigrette, Pear and Blueberry Cobbler, South Western Steak Diane and more.

Chef Dez, a certified Red Seal Chef and Times colum-nist, will be cooking up a storm with a fun, informa-tive and high-energy series of 15 mouth-watering cooking shows over the weekend.

“Three of the recipes are even gluten-free and diabetic friendly,” says Chef Dez. This is his 10th year at Agrifair and he will be putting on four shows daily Friday, Saturday and Sunday and three shows on Monday. Look for him on the upper level between the Tradeshow building and Pio-neer Corner.

Twisters offering free gymnastics demos

Do you want your kids to be active and have a fun? Then you’ll want to stop by Twist-ers Gymnastics at KidZone where children can explore the sport of gymnastics.

In the “Gymnastics Explo-ration Circuit,” equipment will be set up in a circuit that focuses on basic gym skills such as balance, rolls, hand-stands, climbing, jumping and landing.

“It will give children a brief idea of what gymnastics is all about and to see if they would be interested in gym-nastics at the big facility,” said

Sue Tyson, recreation director at Twisters.

Kids can try out a climbing apparatus, mini trampoline, balance beam, mats, hula-hoops, tunnels and more.

There will also be free trial gymnastics classes for differ-ent age groups between 5-9 p.m. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and 3-5 p.m. on Monday.

Demonstrations will be on at 2 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. by athletes of varying levels.

This is a great opportunity to introduce kids to a sport with benefits ranging from improved co-ordination, strength and flexibility to goal-setting, increased self-esteem, social interaction and most importantly, fun.

Professional wrestlers put on a great show

Big-name professional wrestlers including Cana-dian heavyweight champion Scotty Mac, as well as “Street-fighter” Tim Flowers, “Das-tardly” Danni Deeds, Andy “The Dreadful” Bird, “Raven-ous” Randy Myers, “Bishop” and many more are waiting to face off in the ring inside Agrifair’s Cadet Building over the August long weekend.

Don’t miss this opportunity for autographs and a meet and greet with WWE Hall of Famer, Jimmy “Mouth of the South” Hart. He will be mak-ing an appearance during the first two shows on Saturday, Aug. 3 and Sunday, Aug. 4.

If you’re a kid, you can nev-er have too much fun at

Agrifair.Whether it’s dropping

someone into the dunk tank or being the fastest water gun in the wild west, there’s plenty of cool stuff at the Kid-Zone, located in the grassy area near the A & D Com-munity Stage.

Enter the Downpour Derby and fill up the bucket over your opponent’s head before they fill up yours or be pre-pared to be doused in H2O.

Even if you don’t plan on getting wet at the fair, Kid-Zone is offering a slew of free, fun and interactive activities for all ages in a safe, family-friendly environment. Even parents will have a chance to enjoy a game of mini-golf while the children play and dig in the giant sandbox with toys or take a ride on the ponies.

For those big and strong patrons, or those best friends who just want to see who’s the strongest, test your mus-cle in the ‘High Striker Game’ and ring that bell! Or give it all you’ve got and attempt to break a board or learn some martial arts moves with Sun Hang Do, a family-friendly sport for all members of the family.

Younger kids can take part in the Horsey Hop obstacle course races, the Bouncy Castle and the Penguin Toss.

GAMES 2 U will also be bringing its mobile entertain-ment, including inflatable, human-sized hamster balls.

Over at the Pioneer Corner kids can test their horsepower in the Pedal Tractor Pull.

There are ribbons to be won and prizes to be had as competition gets underway twice daily throughout the long weekend.

It isn’t horsing around that will win your kids a prize or ribbon, but instead they will have to generate as much ‘horsepower’ as they can to win against their rival com-petition.

For the grown-ups, be sure to check out the big tractors. The Fraser Valley Antique

Farm Machinery Association will be exhibiting restored heritage tractors as well as antique household items.

See a 1930s antique diesel-powered sawmill in action as it cuts raw logs into boards the old-fashioned way. You will also see some antique gasoline engines.

Cream separating, rope m a k i n g a n d t h r a s h i n g machine demonstrations will be shown twice daily.

Pioneer Corner will take you back in time to when “good old-fashioned” farming techniques and machinery helped deliver and sustain agriculture in our city. Be sure to check it out.

The Abbotsford Senior Cardi-nals made history with their ticket to the final four of the

B.C. Premier Baseball League cham-pionship last weekend and won their first two games, 2-1 against the Vancouver Cannons and 4-2 over the Nanaimo Pirates at DeLair Park.

But they came up short, losing to Nanaimo 4-1 in the semifinal on Sunday to end their playoff hopes.

“It was a very emotional group of kids after the game,” said head coach Corey Eckstein.

“[It’s] the toughest part about my job.”

The Cards’ debut in Game 2 on Friday night saw Emilio Foden throw seven strong innings and Daniel Koo pick up the win with two scoreless innings in the 2-1 victory over Vancouver.

In Game 4 on Saturday, left hand-ed pitcher Rajin Neger threw a com-plete game and Cards’ Brett Walker went 2-for-3 with an RBI, while Coleton Besse had two RBI in the 4-2 win over Nanaimo.

The Cardinals suffered their first defeat of the tournament at the hands of eventual winners, the Vic-

toria Eagles 1-0 late Saturday. In the semifinal on Sunday, Koo

started on the mound. “We were not able to capitalize

with runners in scoring position throughout the game,” said Eck-stein.

Victoria won the final in dramatic nail-biting fashion against Nanaimo. They were down to their last strike with two outs and the bases loaded when they hit a 2- run single in the bottom of the seventh to win the championship 3-2.

Cardinals’ outfielder Jae Kim, above left, pops a bunt and gets on base in the first inning of playoff Game 4 against Nanaimo Saturday at DeLair Park. Above, left-handed pitcher Rajin Neger threw a complete game in the 4-2 win over Nanaimo Satur-day. Left, second baseman Coleton Besse, dives back to first base, beating the Nanaimo throw. Besse had two RBIs in the game. The Senior Cards lost the semifinal to the same team Sunday to end their playoff run.

The sun shone and so did the singers, song-writers and performers for the thousands of music lovers that converged at Fraser River Heritage Park for the 2013 Mission Folk Music Festival last weekend. Pictured, clockwise from above – B. C. blues master Jim Byrnes entertains his fans Saturday afternoon; members of New York’s Spring Standards energized the crowd Saturday evening; Daniel, 7, watches the action from a tree; a group of festival goers find their groove in the sunshine by the shady grove stage; Orkestar Šlivovica, the West Coast’s favorite Balkan brass ensemble per-forms on the move for the crowds on Sunday afternoon; The Sweet Lowdown, the award winning acoustic roots trio from Victoria, sing harmonies with an old-time instrumental feel while guitar maestros Terry Evans and Hans Theessink, of Los Angeles and Holland respec-tively, team up on the MFMF main stage Satur-day night to play stripped down blues and soul that had the crowd eating out of their hands.
