Teachers at Prince Charles Elemen-tary School in Abbotsford took

the classroom to the garden Wednes-day morning as their young charges harvested vegetables they’d started from seeds months earlier at the com-munity garden on DeLair Road.

“The kids have made the connec-tion between the seeds and growing vegetables that they can enjoy,” said kindergarten teacher Gail Chan.

Hard on the heels of the controversy over

increases to the maximum salaries of the B.C. premier’s political staff last week, Abbotsford has released data regarding what it paid out to its employees in 2012.

A number of top earners at city hall received com-

pensation that surpassed the $200,000 mark, and the majority of the 10 best-paid employees earn more than $150,000.

The statement of financial information, which details all city employees who earned more than $75,000 in 2012, will be presented at the city council meeting on Monday.

P r ov i n c i a l t a x p a y e r s expressed outrage after learn-

ing on June 11 that premier Christy Clark’s chief of staff’s max salary will be now be capped at $230,000.

That figure doesn’t include the year’s compensation totaling $321,000, including

benefits and owed vacation, which Pizzuto received after he resigned in December.

Anew wakeboarding park in Abbotsford opening

this weekend on Albert Dyck Park lake is looking to make a big splash.

Stu McKeown, head of the new Valley Wake Park, said boarders will be pulled across the water and over jumps and ramps by an overhead cable travelling at 34 km/h rather than by a boat.

“The system is very similar to a T-bar on a ski hill but people use the tension of the cable to get air,” said McK-eown.

Wakeboarding cable parks are increasingly popular, par-ticularly in the U.S., because the costs and difficulties of organizing a boat and crew are eliminated, he said.

“This definitely brings the sport to the masses; you just need a day pass and you’re good to go,” said McKeown.

The wakeboard operation is sharing the lake with the other existing long-term ten-ant, the Fraser Valley Water Ski Club, which originally opposed the venture.

However, McKeown said a time-sharing agreement has been worked out and the cable park’s original proposal was scaled down somewhat to allow both sports to oper-ate on the lake simultane-ously.

The city will earn five per cent of Valley Wake’s gross revenue over the next five years, and the company absorbed the costs of paving the parking lot at the park.

Wakeboard riders will pay $25 an hour, and the opera-tion also can also rent out necessary equipment for $13, or provide beginners with lessons.

McKeown said there’s lots of interest and activity on Val-ley Wake’s social media sites.

“We’re very excited . . . and we’re looking forward to peo-ple coming out and enjoying the lake,” he said.

Togetherness has paid off for richly in many ways for the Klassens of

Abbotsford, a tightly-knit clan that operates Valley Pulp and Sawdust Car-riers, on Gladwin Road.

The Klassens were recently the recipi-ents of the Vancouver Family Enter-prise of the Year Achievement Award for 2013, presented by the Vancouver Chapter of the Canadian Association of Family Enterprise.

“They exemplify for us what a healthy family business is – the number of fam-ily members, the longevity. They hold a family council that gives them the opportunity to talk about the business as employees,” said Jane O’Connor, the executive director for the CAFE in Vancouver.

What started as a modest enterprise 50 years ago when patriarch Neil Klas-sen hauled firewood and sawdust in a 1957 Chevy truck from sawmills to Fra-ser Valley farms, has expanded into a multi-faceted business, which includes a fleet of 20 trucks traveling more than 1,000,000 kilometres a year to deliver wood residuals used in agriculture, landscaping and in pulp and paper.

Most recently, it opened a log-haul-

ing operation in Merritt with four trucks.

Neil and Rita Klassen’s five children – Merv, Dennis, Reg, Lando and Gen-ny – joined in the business, although Lando left to open the successful Chris-tian book store, the House of James in Abbotsford.

Each one had their specialty, such as mechanics, customer service or deliv-ery, and then their children followed in their footsteps, said company manager Travis Klassen.

Today, Valley Pulp employs up to 25 family members, some fourth genera-tion, plus another 25 employees.

While it’s not always easy work-ing with family, there are numerous rewards from the support they give each other, Travis said.

“It’s constant encouragement. We’re stressed out like everyone else, we argue, but we have each other’s back.

“We talk about how much fun we have at work. It almost brings tears to my eyes to think about how much fun we have,” said Travis.

Not only do they toil together, but the Klassens also make time to play and pray together.

For 31 years, the whole bunch has gone on a family holiday. This year, 63 family members gathered in Osoyoos,

held a church service, played ball and met the new babies.

To mark the half-century of the busi-ness, they worked collectively on a family charter and signed it.

“It really comes down to honouring and respecting our heritage and each other, and to do good where we work. It’s not just about doing a job, but also getting involved in the community,” said Travis.

As faith is a big part of the family culture, faith naturally finds its way into their business life as well.

They make a point of running their business ethically and with integrity, and faith also fuels their commitment to give back to the community.

Valley Pulp and Sawdust Carriers was the company that offered to take a load of shavings to the site where the city had dumped chicken manure on a homeless camp.

While the city was grateful, it didn’t yet have an answer, so the Klassens made a donation to 5 & 2 Ministries.

The company is a major donor to the Run for Water campaign, and will be donating a site to the Cyrus Centre for at risk youth within the community.

Travis said the family company is also now planning on launching a charitable foundation.

The District of Mission aims to amend its cur-

rent firearms bylaw to end shooting in the municipal-ity, including in the forested northwest area that is popu-lar with gun enthusiasts. The move will also likely curtail hunting currently allowed on Crown land.

“We’re now big enough to see if we want to have shoot-ing banned in this com-munity, other than at the Mission Rod and Club, or with a special permit,” such as for farmers protecting live-stock or crops, said Mayor Ted Adlem.

The proposed bylaw, which passed the first three readings on May 21, would impose a total ban on shooting fire-arms within the munici-pal boundary, with the two

exceptions.A staff report noted vandal-

ism along the Florence Lake Forest Service Road (FLFSR) region and adjacent areas to equipment, gates, shooting of live trees, spent shells and abandoned trash, along with public safety concerns.

The area holds the munici-pal tree licence and future interpretive forest around Stave Lake, Zajac Children’s Ranch, a future Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation Camp, and where the council plans to develop recreational and tourism activities. A 40-site campground at Sayer’s Lake opened just over a month ago.

“As a community, we’ve decided it should be a family place,” said Adlem.

The current 20-year-old bylaw requires that shoot-ing be at least 150 metres off a road, but “it’s simply ignored,” said Adlem, who

said he favours the ban.He noted district foresters

who monitor the forest “are fearful for their safety.”

With increased use of unauthorized firearms and others going into the forest, the need for police and fire services are also up, said the mayor.

“Just six months ago we purchased a four-wheel drive fire truck to get up there,” Adlem said. “The (FLFSR) is the first un-gated road into the forest and consequently it’s the ‘wild west’.”

Adoption of a new bylaw would be the first step in changing how the land within the district is used, concluded the staff report.

Residents were invited to give their input on the bylaw last night at the district hall.

Those who didn’t attend can still submit comments by email or post until 4 p.m. on June 28, at infor@mission.

Soanes received $185,809 in 2012, up from $175,838 ($4,309) in 2011.

Pastro got $175,813 last year compared to $166,344 the year prior.

Mayor Bruce Banman said he understands the exas-peration around the healthy wages paid to senior public servants.

“The taxpayers’ frustration is not lost on me,” he said. “The question is are we get-ting value for our money.”

The cost of labour is a huge issue for the municipality but often the top wages are dependent on the staffer’s position and responsibili-ties associated with it, said Banman.

“If we make new hires we have to compete with indus-try standard to get good peo-ple,” he said.

The city is striving to ensure there are new efficiencies, and unlike the private sec-tor, the city can’t simply cut salaries and benefits to cut costs, said the mayor.

“In the public sector we can’t just reduce wages. There are union agreements along with all sorts of other rea-sons,” he said.

The wages of new city manager George Murray, who started Feb. 4 this year, won’t be detailed in the city’s financial statements until June 2014.

But in the interests of trans-parency, Murray has revealed that he will earn $230,000 plus benefits this year.

Murray’s contract also includes six weeks of vaca-tion and a work vehicle or car allowance of $700 per month.

However, Murray wi l l still earn less in the coming year than his counterparts in municipalities of compa-rable size in B.C., such as the District of Langley, Kelowna, Coquitlam and Chilliwack.

The total overal l cost for city employees’ wages and expenses in 2012 was $46,716,623 – an increase of $376,682 from the 2011, or a 0.8 per cent increase.

Last year’s overall cost increase compares favourably to the eight per cent jump, or $3.6 million increase, report-

ed by the city from 2010 to 2011. *

T h e n u m b e r o f c i t y employees earning more than $75,000 a year increased by 11 to a total of 222 people in 2012, up from 211 the year prior.

Salman Azam, Abbotsford director of finance, said the city has been working hard to contain wage costs and increases last year were more moderate than the year prior and an improvement in the right direction.

“With total [staff ] remu-neration we’re trying hard to keep our expenses down. We’re being pretty diligent on expenses including sala-ries and particularly watch-ing what positions are over $100,000,” said Azam.

The city is looking at effi-ciencies that can be made, especially when positions are being vacated. Two positions at city hall that cost more than $100,000 are no longer being funded, he said.

Council numbersThe mayor’s and city coun-

cillors’ earnings were also included in the 2012 financial report.

Mayor Bruce Banman earned the most at $102,272 in 2012 and rang up expenses of $11,159.

The top-paid councillor was Patricia Ross who earned $41,353 and had $5,129 in expenses.

Abbotsford council voted for a new base rate that start-ed in December 2011.

The base wage for the mayor per year is $94,500 and $37,200 for councillors, not including extra meeting allowances and expenses.

However, Coun. Bill Mac-Gregor is still earning the old base rate of $34,700 annually, according to the 2012 state-ments.

The city’s financial report does not include a detailed breakdown of the expenses incurred by city staff or coun-cil members.

It also doesn’t include wag-es of the Abbotsford Police Department.

Mission RCMP seek local man facing kidnap, assault charges

The Mission RCMP is asking the public for help in locating 21-

year-old Clayton Robert Pierce of Mission.

Pierce has a warrant for his arrest for breach of recog-nizance related to a violent domestic assault last year.

I n D e c e m b e r h e w a s charged with 18 offences including two counts of kid-napping, one count of sexual assault and an attempt to choke someone to overcome resistance, as well as several assault and gun charges.

Police reported at the time the victim was a 17-year-old female who was in a relation-ship with Pierce. The majority of the charges Pierce faces are related to a Nov. 1 incident.

According to online court records, Pierce was earlier charged with assault for an incident on Jan. 16, 2012. He was additionally charged for an assault with a weapon and breach on March 1.

Court files show that he

was scheduled to appear in Abbotsford provincial court July 2.

Police caution that if mem-bers of the public locate Pierce, they should not approach him but instead call 911.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161.

If you wish to remain anonymous please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

You do not have to give your name, address, or your telephone number. You do not have to testify in court. A cash reward of up to $2,000 will be paid for any informa-tion, which leads to an arrest and charge.

A8 THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 2013 THE TIMES

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

TransLink is “adjusting” the tolls onthe Golden Ears Bridge.

“Adjusting” always sounds much better than “increasing.”

In its press release, the Lower Main-land’s authority in charge of transporta-tion services notes that the increases are “slight.”

Indeed, it’s only going to cost an extra nickel for most folks to cross the bridge – a dime for truckers with big rigs.

That’s a nickel for every crossing. Even for those who commute regularly

across the bridge, let’s say through a nor-mal working year of about 250 days, that will come to $25.

It’s not a huge amount. But the effect will be out of proportion with those dol-lars and cents.

Some folks will shrug it off as an inevi-table cost of the daily grind – and per-haps accept that it’s still better than the pre-Golden Ears Bridge days when travel times were dramatically longer.

Even the lower cost of gas back then made the bridge toll a relatively good deal.

But many people will groan about “another tax grab,” noting that we’re already on the shallow end of the Trans-Link service pool.

Those tolls, after all, initially kept lots of cars off the bridge, whether or not it would have meant shorter commutes and smaller gas bills.

Use of the Golden Ears Bridge has begun rising reasonably – to 10.8 million crossings in 2012, a 10 per cent increase over 2011 – after a less-than-enthusiastic start in its first couple of years.

We recall when toll rates were increased to make up the difference between expected and actual numbers of crossings.

Now the increased bridge use is being “adjusted” with another toll increase.

We’re wondering when some of the other bridges in the Lower Mainland – perhaps even the Mission bridge – will have toll adjustments.

Is it too late to bring back the Albion ferry?

Anything above zero would be appreci-ated, for starters.

There is a revolution taking place in education. Today’s

controversy over whether stu-dents should be socially pro-moted or required to meet grade level standards has raged for decades.

There was a time when stu-dents were failed. Difficulties occurred when they failed sever-al times making them consider-ably older than their classmates. We worried about elemen-tary school students driving to school in their own car.

Did failing hurt students? Some researchers concluded it did, and many schools embraced their conclusions by instituting social promotion or continuous pass.

This change created a dif-ferent problem because now a Grade 8 class might have students functioning as low as Grade 4.

Research shows that the spread of achievement in a class is roughly equivalent to the grade nomenclature. There is no such thing as a straight grade even though we might refer to everyone in the class by the same grade.

Many people objected to this continuous passing approach because students would jubi-lantly proclaim in June that they had “passed” even though teachers were providing instruc-tion well below grade place-ment. There was worry that students were falsely rewarded for not working hard enough.

In the U.S., No Child Left Behind legislation was used to

motivate schools to do a bet-ter job. The practice of merely pushing students through without passionate and per-sistent intervention created an imbalance between the two approaches.

Nevertheless, social promo-tion accomplished what it was intended to do: it relieved the various grades of over-age, floundering students. Now there are many floundering ones.

Research supporting social promotion is being challenged.

Comprehensive studies in New York and Florida found that retained students did bet-ter the following year than those socially promoted. They also found no negative effects of retention on students’ sense of school belonging or confidence in mathematics and reading over time.

Retaining students who fail to meet grade level standards has limited empirical support, but promoting students to the next grade when they have not mastered the curriculum of their current year is not an education-ally sound alternative.

The debate over the dichot-omy between grade retention and social promotion must be replaced with efforts to identify

and disseminate evidence-based practices that promote academ-ic success for students whose academic skills are below grade level standards.

The best alternative to grade retention and social promotion is identify early those students who don’t meet grade expecta-tions and to provide individual-ized, accelerated instruction using evidence-based teaching practices and frequent progress monitoring.

For too long the educational system relied too heavily on a poor method for dealing with weak students.

School boards must now ask themselves whether their policies are in a rut too deep to change direction. Has it worked to keep all in the group at the same age?

In the adult world much is made about unemployment and its cousin, “underemployment.”

In our children’s world, we should not only worry about the one-third of students unable to demonstrate expectations, but we should be challenged by having so few who are able to exceed grade expectations.

So much effort with the weak has reduced our effort and suc-cess with our best and brightest children.

Poor policy has produced the “undereducated” and there are many.

THE TIMES THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 2013 ❘ LETTERS ❘ A9

Editor, the Times:I would like to add some

comments in response to the letters from Mr. Francis, and Mr. Crommelin, and throw in my support for the pride parade and those who participated.

There have been some interesting responses, and I found the response from Rev. Booth to be a very positive and non-dogmatic approach, which I hope many others on the reli-gious side of the debate will embrace.

Mr. Francis does not speak for all humanists and non-theists. The approach that he has taken to this issue has been purely con-frontational, with letters that do nothing but raise divisions and insult people. He accuses Crommelin of zealotry while acting in the very same manner.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but nobody is above another according to the Charter, due to religious or non-religious affiliation.

We are all equal under the Charter – it protects the freedom of belief, freedom of thought and freedom of non-belief we enjoy in Canada. That’s what secular government is all about, and without it, we are not truly free people. As for the pride parade, everyone has the freedom to participate or to not participate, but the gay community has a right to have this event, and a right to be proud of who they are, regardless of any-one’s opinion or belief.

In a community as diverse as ours, perhaps that age old principle of “love thy neighbor” needs to be better embraced by all. Together we can forge a better, more accepting and inclusive future with what we have in common, rather that what divides us.

Kent Roberts Abbotsford

Time to reduce and reform the SenateEditor, the Times:

I am sure the majority of citizens who are following the senate scandal re: Sen. Mike Duffy’s expenses, etc., are fed up with the lack of any discernible action by the prime minister’s govern-ment in Ottawa.

There are statistics avail-able for various countries that have a senate that is based on the country’s pop-ulation, which show their senators are much fewer in numbers than Canada’s present count of 105, pos-sibly 30 would be more realistic. It does not seem logical that senators can be appointed by the governing federal party, but cannot be removed.

At the very least, the ten-

ure must be reduced to per-haps eight years and various expenditures curtailed.

It’s time to stop talk-ing, and resolve not only the number of senators, but also reduce expense accounts and other benefits.

Most citizens would no doubt prefer the Senate be abolished entirely, and have elected MPs take over their responsibilities for making the best decisions for Cana-da. Any complex proposals can be given “sober second thought” by the MPs, not by unelected persons who may not have the experience or information on the subject at hand.

Closed minds, hearts belong in another era

Editor, the Times:Re: Times, June 4 No more

pride parades pleaseI was saddened to see

this (letter) in your paper, but not shocked. This is the kind of archaic thinking I have come to expect from some that call themselves Christian. A-la-carte Chris-tians as I call them, the ones that pick and choose

what they should follow. They don’t focus on people that wear mixed materials, (Leviticus 19:19 and Deuter-onomy 22:11), they would never sell their first daugh-ter even though the Bible says they can (Exodus 21:7).

And who cares about Leviticus 19:28, that tells you not to tattoo your self. The girl you married not a virgin? Stone her to death. It’s allowed, it’s right there in Deuteronomy 22:13-21 saying you can. My family was raised Jehovah Witness. They love me even though I’m gay, because they aren’t naive enough to think that laws written for one time and people reflect on today’s time and people. If people are to stick to archaic words written 2,000 years ago, then it is they that don’t belong in today’s world, not I.

Alexander Roe Abbotsford

Closed minds, hearts belong in another era

Editor, the Times:My mother, Dorothy

Burns, 95, moved to The Cedars Assisted Living in Mission in 2008. When she needed help, Fraser Health

moved her to Menno Hos-pital (not what she chose) where, though staff was caring, she did not receive adequate care to keep her mobile. FHA guidelines state a person can “move into a private pay residen-tial setting while waiting for a suitable publicly subsidized residential care bed,” and “when a new bed becomes available in your preferred location, you will have the choice of accepting or declining it.”

We moved Mum to a private pay bed at Maple Ridge Seniors Village. FHA didn’t tell us the names on the Transfer List for a sub-sidized bed in her facility don’t progress. Two and a half years later, she still has not been given back her subsidy.

Her case manager says it might be a six-year wait for her subsidy. She is 95!

If Fraser Health CEO Nigel Murray thinks the wait for residential care subsidized beds is moving smoothly, he had better look to the trans-fer list.

Mum has exhausted her life savings, and we are at our wits’ end about how to keep her in the place she calls home. My dad always said old age wasn’t for sis-sies. I’m glad he isn’t around to see how poorly his loving wife is being treated by Fra-ser Health.

Abbotsford Senior’s Amie Peters was awarded first place in the culinary competition at the national Skills Canada competition at BC Place on June 8.

Abbotsford students take gold in national skills

It w a s a g o l d e n r e s u l t f o r t h r e e Abbotsford students competing in the

national Skills Canada competitions at BC Place in Vancouver June 6-8. Alongside hundreds of students from across the country, seven Abbotsford students participated, carrying the flag for BC as winners of the provincial Skills BC competitions in April. In the culinary competition in the giant kitchen and food prep area set up on floor of BC Place, Abbotsford Senior Sec-ondary’s Amie Peters withstood the heat

of competition and impressed the judg-es, who awarded her first place. In the 3D animation competition, Abbotsford Virtual School’s Conor Nolan and Patty Chomseng – who also attends Rick Han-sen Secondary – created the gold medal winning animated project. Nolan, who had flown in from Japan for the competition, returned imme-diately after completing their project, and so was not on hand for the winning announcement.

Inspired by the warm energy gener-ated by West Coast residents and international visitors during the

2010 Winter Olympics, Abbotsford musician Evan Konrad began to com-pile songs recording his impressions.

Fast forward to three years later, Kon-rad, the 23-year-old artist also known as Bed of Stars, has released his debut EP, IFell In Love In The City, a smooth, deli-cious ode to love and Vancouver.

Released through Daniel Victor’s Ocean Records label on June 11, the songs are already getting play on CBC Radio and other outlets. The official release party is at Vancouver’s Media Club on June 28.

Konrad started writing his intelligent rock songs for the Bed of Stars EP in 2010, first with the idea to create half dozen short story-songs about love, picturing them as movies.

“The Vancouver Olympics were happening, and there was something magical about the city at that time and I found it really inspiring,” he said.

“The songs come from the idea of falling in love or falling out of love with a friend, a place or a significant other.”

Fan Julia Robinson describes his songs as “honest and truthful, in a com-pelling way about relationships.”

Konrad drew the attention of Juno-nominated producer Daniel Victor, the critically acclaimed entity behind the chart topping collaborative project known as Neverending White Lights.

Victor was impressed with Konrad’s vocal range, “somewhere between Freddie Mercury and Sigur Ros,” said one writer, his melodic songwriting, and ambitious musical perspec-tive.

He signed Bed of Stars to the Ocean Records imprint, and the part-nership has flour-ished, resulting in Victor produc-ing the Bed of Stars debut r e l e a s e , w h i c h includes a Neverend-ing White Lights song f e a t u r i n g Bed of Stars, Falling Apart.

“He’s what the music world

h a s b e e n missing for a long time – true tal-ent and a b i l i t y that will b r e e d longevity as an artist. This is some-t h i n g w e’v e grown desper-ate for,”

said Victor.Deceptively easy and mesmer-izing, the intelligent songs

showcase Konrad’s vocal versatility and his

musical ity. He w r i t e s h e h a s devoted himself entirely to the art of sensation-alizing the emo-tive qualities of music, and it works.

Konrad also p e r f o r m e d with Neverend-ing White Lights at their gigs, i n c l u d i n g i n Toronto, where reviewer Roger Cu l l m a n w a s delighted with the West Coast

singer’s efforts.Konrad performed

stripped-down versions of his songs from his future debut album, “but the songs translated well with just vocals and guitar.

“And boy, can this guy sing! Think Radiohead’s Thom Yorke falsetto,” wrote Cullman in his blog.

Back Door Slam, Gogo at TwilightFraser River Heritage Park will be hopping

this week, as Mission’s own Back Door Slam make a scene at the Envision Twilight Concert on June 21, and David Gogo next Wednesday.

Kat Wahamaa, Jennie Bice, Tony Rees and Joe Samorodin make up Back Door Slam.

Collectively the local musicians receive rave reviews for their soaring vocals, strong harmonies, flying fiddle, swingin’ guitar, harmonica, bass, mandolin, washboard and whatever that comprise their unmistakable sound.

Back Door infuses genres of country, blues, bluegrass and Western Swing, traditional music of the British Isles, even Finnish folk, with elements of East Coast kitchen party, punk rock-a-billy and a penchant for swing and rhythm. Dancing is required.

On Wednesday, blues-lovin’ audiences will get a thrill when acclaimed blues guitar virtuoso David Gogo, whose hometown is Nanaimo, takes the stage.

Whether he’s showcasing his blistering gui-tar licks and soulful vocals during an electric performance or drawing the crowd in with his humour and down-to-earth personality dur-ing an acoustic show, audiences everywhere attest to Gogo’s outstanding talent.

Gogo’s list of accomplishments ranges from Juno nominations to Maple Blues Guitarist of the Year (twice) to playing with topnotch artists including the Hip, ZZ Top, B.B. King and Buddy Guy.

The Envision Twilight Concerts run Wednes-days and Fridays through the summer at Fra-ser River Heritage Park.

The shows start at 7 p.m. for about an hour.

The events are free, but donations go a long way to support this wonderful series,

now in its 13th year of partnership between Envision Financial and the Mission Heritage Association.

Bring lawn chair or blanket, enjoy the fare at the Blackberry Kitchen or the Log Cabin Café, or bring a picnic.

A20 ❘ FAITH ❘ THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 2013 THE TIMES

Each day at 5:20 a.m., my beautiful 23-year-old

daughter grabs her ever-present Blackberry and heads out the kitchen door into the darkness to manage a local Timmy’s.

Long hours and responsi-bilities are the orders of her day amid smiles and banter as her customers roll past for their early morning caffeine fix along with a muffin or doughnut.

It seems like just yesterday when she was just three years old and she stood barefoot on a chair, clad in her mom’s baking apron, her toes (and everything else) dusted in flour as she helped her mom make cinna-mon buns.

Her mom had pre-measured all of the cin-namon, brown sugar and raisins into cups and my daughter gladly dumped the ingre-dients into the mix when it was her turn.

These were fun days with happy endings.Reality in life says that not every day has a

happy ending. Each of us has days that we barely finish,

only to doubt that we can handle another day of overwhelming responsibilities in our relationships or employment and finances.

Never mind the incessant parade of appointment reminders pulsing from our iPhones.

The good news is that God tells us that

we actually can handle our tomorrows.

God says that we are his handiwork, and He specifi-cally designed us to handle the works he has planned for our every day, even your tomorrow.

The Bible adds that God himself has literally run

through time ahead of us and prepared and pre-measured the good works for us to do just like the cinnamon, brown sugar and raisins being premeasured for my daughter (Ephesians 2:10).

It is as simple as that.Furthermore, God tells us that He Himself

appointed the times and even the places that we live – and He did all this so that we would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him. (Acts 17:26-27).

So put away the feelings that somewhere in life you hopped on the wrong train. God has pre-measured your days and set the times and places that you will live.

Not that you would live like a puppet on a string, but that you would participate in life with Him and be confident that you are in His care.

And maybe get a little flour on yourself.

The Abbotsford Angels peewee Black team ended their sea-son on a winning note when

they came from behind to beat the Burnaby Braves 5-4 in extra innings Saturday.

“It was a very exciting game and the coaches were real proud of the kids’ effort all season,” said coach Rob Senft of his 12- and 13-year-old Double A squad.

The Braves went up 4-0 in the first inning of the round robin league game at Berry Park, which had teams from Ladner and Vancouver to Chilliwack competing.

The Angels battled back, scoring four in the bottom of the second, and the teams remained deadlocked after the regulation seven innings.

After holding the Braves at bay in the eighth, Angels’ Spencer McGee got on base in the bottom of the

frame, and a Brett Bass hit drove in McGee for the winning run.

“It was very exciting,” said Senft.

“We completed a very successful spring season, finishing with a record of 24-8, which included win-

ning both Ladner and Coquitlam tournaments.”

Unfortunately his team did not qualify for the semifinals, as they

finished third in their playoff pool and only the top two teams advanced to the semis.

Senft, still focusing on the positive with his young charges, was reluctant to name names among his outstand-ing players.

“The team had great pitching, very good defence and timely hitting all season long,” he said.

With the season now over, the Angels Black and Red teams will now reconfigure into one Triple-A team and one Double-A team, with games for the summer season beginning on the July long weekend.

Four boxers from the Mis-sion City Boxing Club

brought home three gold medals and a silver at the provincial championships in Victoria recently.

Carson Dyck, 11, fought Ian Senties from Victoria in the 50kg weight class. In a back and forth battle, Dyck was able to use his height, jab and combinations to win the bout 3-2 for the gold.

Owen Bergen, 16, fought

Ashton Brock from Cran-brook in the 81kg weight class.

Bergen used his reach to his advantage. In the third round, the Mission fighter threw an overhand right which connected and the referee gave Brock an eight count. Bergen went on to win gold convincingly 5-0.

Johnny Nervais, 20, fought against Anthony Haines from Kelowna in the 75kg com-

petitive bout. But by the third round, Nervais’ superior car-dio gave him the advantage and he was able to back

Haines up with combina-tions.

Nervais landed a strong right hand that knocked the Kelowna fighter down and he wasn’t able to up again. Nervais won gold by TKO.

Sean McIntosh, 20, had three fights in three days in the 69 kg open weight class. His first fight against Dylan Bishop from Maple Ridge was an easy 5-0 win.

McIntosh’s next opponent

was Jordan Beird of Victo-ria. He showed excellent defensive skills in another 5-0 win.

In the gold medal round against Sasan Haghighat-Joo from Maple Ridge, McIntosh lost by decision. He still took the silver medal and quali-fied for the national boxing championships, which will be taking place in Regina in October.
