Coming down the pipe Kinder Morgan Canada is seeking to twin its Trans Mountain Pipeline that runs through Abbotsford on its route from northern Alberta to Burnaby. The expansion would mean a major increase in the amount of crude oil the pipeline carries, and in the number of tankers passing through coastal waters.

The existing Trans Mountain Pipeline runs on an east to west axis through Abbotsford, and roughly parallels Highway 1. From the Sumas pump station, the main line continues up to Sumas Mountain to a tank storage terminal (above), and west into Langley Township.

Pastor will plead guilty An Abbotsford pastor plans to plead guilty to a sexual offence against a 15-year-old boy. Patrick Marini, 69, was scheduled to enter the plea Tuesday in Abbotsford provincial court, but the matter was adjourned until May 17. Marini has been charged with sexual assault and sexual interference of a person under 16. Outside court, his lawyer Joel Doucette said it’s not known whether Marini intends to plead guilty to one or both offences, or to a lesser charge. Marini was charged after a teenage boy told his mother about an incident that allegedly occurred Feb. 11. The matter was reported to Abbotsford Police. An online profile describes Marini as a missionary/pastor who has ministered in Canada, the U.S., India, Africa and Europe. He previously lived in Ontario and Saskatchewan.

oil. The spill was cleaned up and the area remediated, Hobenshield said. On Jan. 24 this year, oil was released from a storage tank into a containment area at the site. There was a strong smell of oil in the area, and some residents complained of nausea and headaches. The spill was cleaned up the same day, Hobenshield said. In both cases, Kinder Morgan took steps aimed at ensuring these incidents do not occur in the future, she said. She said there are definite benefits for the city of Abbotsford. Currently, Kinder Morgan pays the city $2 million per year in municipal taxes, and this would rise to $2.5 million with the expansion. As part of Kinder Morgan’s process leading up to a regulatory application, the company will be completing socio-economic studies, and share the results publicly. The information will be part of its facilities application. Part of its 18- to 24-month consultation process will be determining what the specific interests are of communities along the proposed pipeline route.

What’s in a name?
Marc Dalton, Maple Ridge-Mission MLA, thinks his party, the B.C. Liberals, should change its name. He says the name – in place since the provincial Liberals formed in 1991 (and the one voters have elected to govern three consecutive terms) – is confusing to some centre-right voters, now that the B.C. Conservatives have surged to solid third-party status. He says those who are federal Conservatives will have a hard time voting B.C. Liberal next time. Last month, the NDP won two B.C. byelections, in Chilliwack-Hope and Port Moody-Coquitlam. The Liberals came second in both, the Conservatives third. The Liberals fear more vote splitting in the May 2013 provincial election. But changing the party’s name won’t prevent that. Doing so would seem even more confusing to voters, which may be the point. It’s easy to see why the Liberals would want to rebrand the party,
distance itself from past scandals and failures, and try to reverse falling popularity. But whatever the Liberals come up with – the B.C. Alliance Party is being floated about – it’s still the same cast of characters who brought you the B.C. Rail and HST fiascoes. Whether or not Kevin Falcon and other cabinet ministers run again isn’t going to change that. And changing the party’s name, to something more progressive, won’t erase the past, or fool many. B.C. doesn’t need a new centre-right party – it already has two. The B.C. Conservatives beat the Liberals to the punch. Trying to decide between the two is what’s confusing. Are the Liberals about families or business? A tiger can’t change its stripes. Changing the party’s name is just painting over them. As long as the B.C. Conservatives are around, the right will be split. And that’s what the NDP is counting on. – Black Press
Oil tanker debate sinks to a new low Tom
Fletcher
B.C. Views The B.C. NDP has ramped up its opposition to the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline. First the party formalized objections already expressed by NDP MLAs who have spoken at hearings held by the federal review panel along the B.C. coast. Leader Adrian Dix sent an 11-page letter to the panel, then launched an attack on the B.C. Liberal government in the legislature that emphasized the letter’s top objection. Why doesn’t Premier Christy Clark stand up to Ottawa and protest the abandonment of the long-standing “moratorium and exclusion zone” on oil tankers off B.C.’s north coast, Dix and NDP energy critic Rob Fleming demanded. Clark’s answer was the same one given for many years by federal and provincial governments. The 1972 federal “moratorium” was directed at offshore oil drilling, not tankers bound for B.C. A
separate Canada-U.S. agreement in 1998 calls for U.S. tankers to avoid B.C.’s Inside Passage as they transport Alaska crude oil to refineries in Washington state and further south. I asked Fleming for documentation that shows tankers are banned from B.C.’s north coast. He said it is “fragmented,” which means he doesn’t have any. Nor does the NDP’s heavily footnoted letter to the federal panel offer any source for this assertion. This argument flared up in 2006 after Methanex Corp. shut down its Kitimat methanol plant. Instead of shipping methanol out, a practice that was never questioned, it started bringing tankers into the Kitimat port loaded with a liquid natural gas by-product called condensate. From there it is sent by rail to Alberta to dilute oil sands crude. This process led to Enbridge’s proposed double pipeline that would send condensate east and diluted crude west. The Dogwood Initiative, one of the multiple U.S.-funded groups that now dominate B.C.’s environmental lobby, rose to protest these early condensate shipments, saying they violate a moratorium on tankers. Wrong, said Don Rodden, superintendent of environmental
response for the Canadian Coast Guard Pacific Region. The 1972 moratorium “wouldn’t apply to vessels coming into Canadian ports like Kitimat,” Rodden told the Globe and Mail at the time. The Coast Guard would be the agency legally required to enforce such a tanker ban, if one existed.
There are legitimate arguments against the Northern Gateway proposal. This hippyfantasy tanker moratorium isn’t one of them. As I’ve mentioned before, there are legitimate arguments against the Northern Gateway proposal. This hippyfantasy tanker moratorium isn’t one of them. Then there is the hypocrisy and proU.S. bias that is so clearly evident in the manipulated B.C. debate. The Northern Gateway pipeline would
generate as many as 350 tanker trips each year to and from Kitimat. More than twice that many tankers already sail each year through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, past the Gulf and San Juan Islands. Many are heading to refinery complexes at March Point and Cherry Point in Washington. These supertankers can be seen sailing past Victoria most days. Strangely, this U.S. crude traffic excites no protests. Some of the smaller tankers come in to fill up from the Trans-Mountain pipeline in Burnaby, whose operator is preparing a bid for expansion. This attracts protests organized by people opposed to Alberta “tar sands” oil. Where do urban protesters think we get the gasoline and diesel fuel sold at B.C. filling stations? Do they think it’s all made at the little Chevron refinery in Burnaby, the last remnant of refining capacity in southern B.C.? We could use a serious debate about how B.C. handles petroleum. Instead, we see factually inaccurate claims promoted by U.S. interests to attack Canadian crude only. Our opposition politicians and media mostly just go along for the ride. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Photograph those who park illegally I watched a badly limping elderly gentlemen hobbling his way to the grocery store from the far end of a full parking lot. The man stopped three times to catch his breath. When he come to the handicapped parking stall he saw an able-bodied man come waltzing out of the grocery store with two big bags. The man swung the groceries in the back of his truck parked in the handicapped parking stall. The elderly gentlemen hobbled up to him and said, “ Sir, are you handicapped? I do not see a sign in your front window?� The towering big brute turned and with disgraceful language told the man to buzz off if he knew what was good for him. Two days later, a dear friend of mine, who can barely walk due to back problems, tried to find a parking spot. All were taken. She too saw a healthy able-bodied young woman rush to her

car, parked illegally, and prepare to take off. My friend tapped on her window and repeated the same words the man said two days earlier. She, too, was told loud and clear to mind her own business by this awfully rude woman. An illegal handicap stall parking ticket cost $109 dollars. There is such a thing as a citizens arrest. All you do is whip out your phone, and take three photos. The rear of the vehicle (license plate/ model of vehicle), the parking spot showing the vehicle and disabled parking signs, and the front windshield showing no disabled placard or ID. Add the date, street and the address and submit the report to the police station. Knowing many eyes are watching their disgusting, egotistic, behaviours might just square these type of folks into becoming considerate human beings, maybe? Gertie Pool

Salmon inquiry weighs risk from habitat protection reform
is ’s Ab Abbotsford News h T ek e Carrier W
New focus would be on threats to productive fisheries Jeff NAGEL Black Press
The Cohen Inquiry into the Fraser River’s troubled sockeye salmon stocks is shifting gears to consider lastminute arguments about controversial proposed reforms to the federal Fisheries Act. Participants at the inquiry have been given until May 14 to table their submissions on the impact of the changes that critics say will gut the law that protects fish habitat. “What commission counsel has done is said if something wasn’t in your final submissions that this new bill impacts, you’re welcome to make another submission and we’ll look at those,” inquiry spokesperson Carla Shore said. The Conservative government’s budget implementation bill includes the contentious amendments to the Fisheries Act. If passed, the clause protecting fish habitat by banning “harmful alteration, disruption and destruction” of fish habitat will be removed and replaced with one that outlaws “serious harm” to stocks fished by commercial, recreational or aboriginal users. Federal officials have described it as a more practical approach that focuses more on real threats to productive fisheries and less on blanket protection of riparian ecosystems. No longer would authorization always be required to disrupt any fish habitat, for example, if the planned work doesn’t affect stocks used by any fisheries. Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Craig Orr, who chairs a coalition of conservation groups with standing at the inquiry, said he and other participants will definitely file their concerns. “It raises the threshold for what is considered to be serious harm to fish,” he said. “Without a doubt we
all think this really does strike at the heart of what Cohen should be considering. It has huge implications to our ability to protect salmon.” Orr said he’s concer ned the changes could mean that penalties would only be triggered if fish are killed or there is permanent harm to habitat. The inquiry had already heard testimony that habitat
protection laws aren’t well enough enforced as well as questions about the effectiveness of the no-net loss policy – now to be reviewed – that requires habitat lost to development be offset with improvements elsewhere. Justice Bruce Cohen wrapped up commission hearings in late December and had been preparing his findings on how to reverse a long-term

decline of sockeye, although a recent extension now gives him until the end of September. Ottawa says the changes won’t alter the ban on the dumping of chemicals or other dangerous pollutants into any water way. Officials also say there are provisions to establish ecologically sensitive areas where higher levels of protection can be required.

Market steady, selection improving It’s a good time to be house hunting. There were 1,435 property sales processed on the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board’s Multiple Listing Service in April, reflecting a 5 per cent decrease compared to the 1,516 sales in April of last year, and a slight increase over the 1,412 sales in March. In April, the board added seven per cent more new listings compared to one year ago, 3,134 in contrast to 2,918 in April 2011, pushing the number of properties for sale in the Fraser Valley to 10,312, the highest level since July 2010. “To put it in perspective, in the last decade, April 2012 ranked second lowest for sales during that month, while new listings came in at the third highest, meaning it’s a good time to be shopping for a home in the Fraser Valley because selection has only been this extensive twice,” said Scott Olson, president of the board. “When you combine modest sales with normal, seasonal increases in listings it helps keep house prices in check, which is what we’re seeing. Benchmark prices for all property types remain essentially unchanged from March and for townhomes and apartments, they’re on par with what they were one year ago,” he added.

Well known throughout the real estate industry for his knowledge, honesty, and integrity, John is always enthusiastic and never to busy to help his clients buy or sell real estate.

The benchmark price of a ‘typical’ Fraser Valley detached home increased 5.3 per cent in one year. It went from $547,800 in April 2011 to $576,600 last month. In April, the MLSHPI benchmark price of a Fraser Valley townhouse was $318,400, an increase of 1.9 per cent compared to $312,600 in 2011. The benchmark price of an apartment increased by 0.8 per cent yearover-year; going from $204,100 in April of last year to $205,800 in April 2012. “There are a lot of different dynamics to our market right now – all depending on location, property type and price point. For example, some areas are seeing increases in sales and decreases in prices; while others are experiencing the reverse, so if you are thinking of buying or selling ask your realtor to show you how your property type is faring in the market overall and more importantly in your community,” said Olson. “In particular, ask about the ratio of sales compared to the number of active listings for your home type. This is one tool we use to help our clients understand if the market for their home is tilted in favour of buyers or sellers or is in balance. Currently, Fraser Valley’s overall market is balanced leaning towards buyers, however each sub-market is different.”

8 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying a Home You’ve finally decided to do it—you’re ready to buy a house. The process of buying a new home can be incredibly exciting, yet stressful, all at once. Where do you start? It is essential you do some research before you begin. Use the following list of pitfalls as a guide to help you avoid the most common mistakes. ing is a sound one, or alerting you to underlying problems that could cost you significant money in both the short and long-run. Your Realtor can suggest reputable home inspection companies for you to consider and will ensure the appropriate clause is entered into your contract.
1 .Searching for houses without getting pre-approved by a lender: Do not mistake pre-approval by a lender with pre-qualification. Pre-qualification, the first step toward being preapproved, will point you in the right direction, giving you an idea of the price range of houses you can comfortably afford. Pre-approval, however, means you become a cash buyer, making negotiations with the seller much easier.
4. Not knowing and understanding your rights and obligations as listed in the Offer to Purchase:
2. Allowing “first impressions” to overly influence your decision: The first impression of a home has been cited as the single most influential factor guiding many purchasers’ choice to buy. Make a conscious decision beforehand to examine a home as objectively as you can. Don’t let the current owners’ style or lifestyle sway your judgment. Beneath the bad décor or messy rooms, these homes may actually suit your needs and offer you a structurally sound base with which to work. Likewise, don’t jump at a home simply because the walls are painted your favorite color! Make sure you thoroughly investigate the structure beneath the paint before you come to any serious decisions. 3. Failing to have the home inspected before you buy: A home inspection performed by a competent company will help you enter the negotiation process with eyes wide open, offering you added reassurance that the choice you’re mak-
Make it a priority to know your rights and obligations. A lack of understanding about your obligations may, at the very least, cause friction between yourself and the people with whom you are about to enter the contract. Wrong assumptions, poorly written/ incomprehensible/ missing clauses, or a lack of awareness of how the clauses apply to the purchase, could also contribute to increased costs. So, take the time to go through the contract with a fine-tooth comb, making use of the resources and knowledge offered by your Realtor and lawyer. With their assistance, ensure you thoroughly understand every component of the contract, and are able to fulfill your contractual obligations.
over-priced, or fair value? 6. Failing to familiarize yourself with the neighborhood before buying: Check out the neighborhood you’re considering, and ask around. What amenities does the area have to offer? Are there schools, churches, parks, or grocery stores within reach? Consider visiting schools in the area if you have children. How will you be affected by a new commute to work? Are there infrastructure projects in development? All of these factors will influence the way you experience your new home, so ensure you’re well-acquainted with the surrounding area before purchasing. 7. Not looking for home insurance until you are about to move:

If you wait until the last minute, you’ll be rushed to find an insurance policy that’s the ideal fit for you. Make sure you give yourself enough time to shop around in order to get the best deal.
5. Making an offer based on the asking price, not the market value:
8. Not recognizing different styles and strategies of negotiation:
Ask your Realtor for a current Comparative Market Analysis. This will provide you with the information necessary to verify the market value of a home, and will help you avoid over-paying. What have other similar homes sold for in the area? What is the difference between their asking and selling prices? Is the home you’re looking at under-priced,
Many buyers think that the way to negotiate their way to a fair price is by offering low. However, in reality this strategy may actually result in the seller becoming more inflexible with negotiations. Employ the knowledge and skills of an experienced realtor. S/he will know what strategies of negotiation will prove most effective for your particular situation.

Hello Everyone! My 30 years in Abbotsford has granted me the opportunity to work from Vancouver to Hope. For the most part, I serve the Fraser Valley region, always being constantly reminded of what an amazingly diversified community we truly live in. Through my dedication and hard work, I was named “Most Favourite Realtor of 2011”. I was humbled by this unanimous vote and now even more driven to providing good service and helping friends and clients realize their future dreams through Real Estate.
I am a self-confessed “car guy” and have been racing, restoring, and appreciating all kinds of vehicles since the day I brought home my driver’s license. Over the years I noticed how difficult it can be to find the right property for “toys”, from cars to boats to recreational vehicles. I decided to dedicate part of my business to specializing in “Real Estate for Car Guys” and everyone looking for unique properties, garages and shops in the Fraser Valley.
Does anyone remember “Barney’s Beach Hut” & “Dos Amigos” restaurants?” I was former coowner in the late 1980’s to 1994. Trust me, once you have owned and operated restaurants, you can do almost anything! Since I received my Real Estate License in 2003, I have never looked back. Call me anytime; I would love to hear from you!

for Game 4 against the Toronto Marlies. Seated in the press box was leading scorer Krys Kolanos, along with rookie centre Max Reinhart and depth defenceman Nick Tuzzolino. Inserted in their place were forwards Adam Estoclet and Ryan Howse – both suiting up for their first game of the post-
season – and veteran blueliner Joe Piskula. Scratching Kolanos was the true jawdropper – the 30-yearold winger being one of the few offensive thoroughbreds on a team loaded with Clydesdales. And wouldn’t you know it, it almost worked. Ward’s ground-andpound lineup did just
that, smothering the Marlies in all three zones. They led 1-0 after two periods, and out-shot the visitors 36-17 for the game. But the Heat were done in by Marlies’ duo of Ben Scrivens and Greg Scott. Toronto goalie Scrivens was outstanding as he has been all series long, turning aside 35 Abbotsford shots.

Scott, a Victoria native, made a pair of high-end offensive plays to give his team the lead in the third period, and he completed the hat trick with an empty-net goal in the final minute. The Marlies escaped with a 3-1 victory, and led the series by the same margin. They had a chance to eliminate the Heat on Wednesday evening, but that result was unavailable at press time (visit abbynews. com for updates). “It’s disappointing,” Heat centre Ben Walter acknowledged, “but we don’t really have time to think about it now. “We’re still a positive group. . . . We’ve just got to win three in a row.” Kolanos carved up the Milwaukee Admirals in the first round, racking up four goals and four assists to lead the Heat to a sweep in the best-of-five series. But he’d been silenced by the Marlies in Round 2, mustering just one assist over the first three games. Ward, quizzed as to his reasoning for sitting Kolanos, called it an “internal issue.” “All I can say is, it’s something we had to deal with, and we dealt with it,” he said. “We have our standards. “He sat his game for his issues. He’ll play tomorrow.” Even without Kolanos, the Heat dominated the Marlies from the opening faceoff on Tuesday. They opened the scoring at 9:29 of the second period, as Estoclet forced a turnover in the Marlies’ zone and the puck came to Walter along the side boards. He fired a wrist shot that Hugh Jessiman deflected past Scrivens. Early in the third, Scott leveled the score, cruising down the right wing and unleashing a pictureperfect wrist shot that found the top corner over the glove of Heat goalie Danny Taylor. He later gave the Marlies the lead on a shorthanded breakaway, and sealed the deal with an emptynetter with 28.7 seconds left. For more coverage, visit the Heat Central page at abbynews.com

The Abbotsford Collegiate Panthers dropped a firstplace showdown to Semiahmoo of Surrey last Thursday, but don’t expect them to hang their heads about it. The Panthers fell 36-8 at Exhibition Park in a match-up of the top two teams in the Fraser Valley AAA Tier 1 league. The game wasn’t as lopsided as the score suggests – Semiahmoo scored four tries in the late going – and Abby Collegiate coach Sean McLaughlin called it a “useful setback” as his team pushes for a berth to the provincial championships. “It helps us ground ourselves and see what we need to do to compete at that level,” McLaughlin explained. “This group has really made strides this season. It’s been part of our two-year plan to make it to provincials, so we’ve been working with this core since they were in Grade 10 and 11 to bring them up.” Abby Collegiate and Semiahmoo came in tied for first in Tier 1 with matching 5-0 records, though two wins apiece came via forfeit against teams who dropped out due to work-to-rule job action by public school teachers. The Panthers trailed 12-8 at the half, with all of their points coming from Cody Follett via a try and a penalty kick. But Semiahmoo pulled away after the break.
“We knew we were in for a tough game,” McLaughlin noted. “We had some pretty serious handling errors, and in terms of defensive organization, we couldn’t organize quick enough.” The Fraser Valley’s

events by placing more then 50 metres in front of her nearest competitors. Other gold medals won by club members included Chantel Desch in the junior women’s 400m (59.71)
and Zach Choboter in the midget boy’s long jump (6.03m). Oliver Jorgensen had no trouble winning the youth men’s 1500m (4:22.27) and is aiming for a good time at the B.C. High School

William Douglas It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Douglas Adair at Abbotsford Regional Hospital at the age of 81 following a long illness. He is predeceased by his; loving wife of 57 years, Lorna Adair in 2011. Doug will be missed by his sons, Bruce (Patricia), Robin (Marisa), Ian (Thipp) and David (Brenda) as well as his grandchildren Amy (Matt), Tristan, Bryan, Megan, Justine and Rachel. He will also be sadly missed by his sister Mary Drew Schmidt (Herb) and family of Calgary and his many McWillliams, Chambers and Armstrong cousins in Vancouver. Doug was born in Washington State during the time his father was managing the Seattle branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce during the great depression. When the United States entered the Second World War the Adair’s moved back to Vancouver where Doug attended Magee High School. A highlight of his teenage years was serving The Royal Canadian Sea cadets and later in the Canadian Reserves with the New Westminster Regiment. He was a long time member of the Royal Canadian Legion. While working for the Bank of Commerce in Williams Lake Doug met a nurse named Lorna Fearn and the couple soon wed and settled in Mission in 1954 where they raised 4 children as well as two teenage Fearn cousins, Jim (Syvil) and Joan (Barry). A strong member of Kinsmen and later Rotary, the Adair’s sponsered two international exchange students to live with their family. They greatly enjoyed their year with Jan (from Australia) and later Kristian (from Denmark) and kept in close contact with them through the years. Upon early retirement, the Adair’s sold their family home and spent three years (1986-1989) in Papua New Guinea where Doug worked as an accountant and a teacher in the mission store and warehouse. The couple returned to Mission from overseas and Doug served two terms on Mission Council. Later, he sat on the board of the Fraser Valley Health Authority. He was a volunteer at the Mennonite Thrift Store in Mission and the Mission Archives where he researched the service records of hundreds of local veterans. In 1999 Doug and Lorna were awarded the Freedom of the City for their contribution to their community. In 2008 Doug received a British Columbia Community Achievement Award at Government House in Victoria. A celebration of Doug Adair’s life will be held at Cedar Valley Mennonite Church located at 32840 Janzen Avenue, Mission on Thursday May 17, 2012 at 1:00 pm. Flowers are gratefully declined in lieu of donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada.
