Suspected cat burglar arrested
NewsBytes
Two homes were targeted last week
A 23-year-old man has been arrested in connection to two cat burglaries earlier this month. Brett Thomas has been charged with two counts of breaking and entering. A burglar struck two homes in the Gladwin Road area south of Downes Road, sometime between 11 p.m. Saturday, March 2 and 4 a.m. Sunday, March 3. In both cases, the culprit got into the homes through an
unlocked ground-floor window while the occupants were sleeping. A woman’s purse was stolen in one of the incidents. MacDonald said the residents of the other home didn’t notice anything had been taken. The tenants discovered that someone had been in their homes after they awoke the next morning and saw that items had been moved around and windows were open.
Go fusion run About 130 people participated in the Go Fusion Fitness Walk/Run on Saturday at Mill Lake, raising $5,400 for the pediatric comfort fund at Abbotsford Regional Hospital. The event was held in conjunction with the 2013 Total Makeover Challenge, which has announced the top 10 semifinalists. See story online at abbynews.com. JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News
Golden Tree in memory of farm workers Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
A model of a monument in memory of three farm workers killed in a freeway crash in 2007 was revealed at a candlelight vigil on Sunday afternoon at Abbotsford Civic Plaza. Families of the deceased farm workers unveiled a model of the Golden Tree Monument, designed by local artists Dean and Christina Lauze. The full 20-foot-high version will be erected on the shoreline of Mill Lake in Abbotsford next year. Sarabjit Kaur Sidhu, Amarjit Kaur Bal and Sukhvinder Kaur Punia were killed on the morning of March 7, 2007 when the overloaded and unsafe van in which they were travelling crashed on Highway 1 in Abbotsford. Although police recommended charges against the driver, none were laid. In December 2009, a coroner’s jury made 18 recommendations that would make farm workers safe. Not

A model of a monument in memory of three farm workers killed in a crash in 2007 was unveiled at a ceremony at Abbotsford Civic Plaza on Sunday.
all recommendations have been implemented, according to the BC Federation of Labour. Sunday’s memorial, marking the sixth anniversary of the accident, included speeches in English and Punjabi by family members of the de-
ceased women and by local dignitaries. “We are overjoyed with this beautiful monument, designed in remembrance of our lost wives and mothers,” said Jagjit Sidhu, husband of deceased worker Sarabjit Sidhu. “It represents our con-
tinued struggle to make farm workers safer. We are proud to dedicate this monument to all farm workers in B.C.” Coun. Bill MacGregor, Abbotsford’s deputy mayor, called the incident “a very tragic event for our community. “This sense of loss will never go away,” he said. Jim Sinclair, president of the BC Federation of Labour, said the lives of the three women are “sacred and important. “Their legacy must be that it is safer for farm workers to go to work,” he said. “Our crime as working people is that we forget. And in forgetting, we allow it to happen again.” The provincial government and WorkSafeBC have committed $100,000 to the monument project, and fundraising continues to ensure the project can be completed. Charitable donations can be made to Abbotsford Community Services.

honorary degree for bif naked Rocker, actress and activist Bif Naked can now add doctor to her list of achievements. Mark Evered, president of the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), made a surprise announcement on Friday that the Vancouver musician will receive an honorary doctorate from the university at convocation in June. Bif had just delivered a speech bif naked about body image and the media, and her experience with breast cancer. She was a guest speaker during International Women’s Day activities at the Abbotsford campus of UFV. Evered said the doctorate is in honour of her contribution to the arts and her life-changing work with women undergoing cancer treatment.

Groundbreaking for adult hospice
Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
About 100 dignitaries, supporters, volunteers and construction workers gathered Friday to break ground for the Holmberg House site on Marshall Road, just west of Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Construction is set to begin, and the 20,000 sq. ft. facility is expected to open in the late spring or early summer of 2014. The residence, run by the Abbotsford Hospice Society (AHS), will provide end-of-life care to people 19 years and older, as well as support for grieving families and friends. “Holmberg House will be a place of security and warmth, a place where loved ones can gather,” Mayor Bruce Banman told the crowd. AHS executive director Debbie Lehmann said plans to build a hospice residence in Abbotsford have been underway since 1985. Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong joined Banman,

Hospice gala raises funds for services About 300 people attended the Abbotsford Hospice Society’s (AHS) annual gala fundraising event on Saturday night at the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre. A fundraising total was not available as of press deadline, but AHS executive director Debbie Lehmann said the money will be used mainly to support frontline services. AHS supports people who are dying and provides programs for children, teens and adults who are grieving. Some of the funds from the gala, which had an “enchanted forest” theme, will also support Holmberg House, a 10-bed facility that will care for patients as young as 19 who are unable to die at home. Groundbreaking on that facility, located next to Abbotsford Regional Hospital as part of the Campus of Care Project, took place on

Another mishandled plan
Wooing the ethnic vote is nothing new in the political world – especially in the scrappy mud-wrestling that defines election campaigns and often politics in general in B.C. Over the past few decades, ethnic communities – particularly South Asian – have wielded increasing political power, both in terms of individual voting, and fielding their own representatives. Winning favour in these communities can secure a mainstream candidate’s seat, or significantly bolster a party’s fortunes. And so it’s little surprise the beleaguered B.C. Liberals looked to the ethnic vote as partial salvation from the political quagmire in which they find themselves. Except, in what has become virtually predictable Liberal fashion, the initiative was fumbled. What was conceived as an ethnic outreach effort turned into another
embarrassment, with distasteful references to “quick wins” via government apologies to ethnic communities for historical wrongs. Apparently, it never occurred to the Liberal strategists involved that they were playing catch with a live hand grenade should the NDP – and thus the media, and thus the public – were ever to hear about this ill-considered plan. Of course, that’s what happened, and Premier Christy Clark had to do some apologizing of her own. It seems the Liberals learned little from the last internal pratfall, when it was discovered they were breaking the rules by using taxpayerfunded computers and facilities to launch anti-NDP websites. Premier Christy Clark must be growing weary of having to say sorry for the mistakes of her team. It may well be that she won’t have to for much longer.
Longer days provide ‘opportunities’ Mark
Rushton On the
Other Hand George W. Bush may not have been the brightest light to shine in the White House, but he did bring one benefit to North America – the adoption of three more weeks of daylight saving time. Now, instead of wasting daylight on the early mornings of March, we can use them in the evenings to work in the yard, play in the parks or simply enjoy the sunset at a more convenient time. You don’t see much of “W” any more, though he was featured in a commercial this winter to promote the charitable sale of his Ford pickup. His most memorable visual to me, however, was on that fateful day in September 2001 when, sitting in a Florida classroom, the camera
closed in on him as he was informed of the attacks on the World Trade Centre. The two guys in the Dumb and Dumber movie could not have pulled off a better expression than George did that day, nor acted any better when, instead of leaping up and running out of the room, POTUS continued to listen to a group of children read aloud. However, this isn’t about his shortcomings as much as his foresight in changing the way daylight saving time is introduced each year, and the benefits we all derive from that one act. It, and hoped-for sunshine, even inspired me to take a few days out of the office to tackle some yard work that even with longer evenings will require time to complete before the inevitable lawn mowing begins in earnest. The break might also provide some time for me to catch up on all the email replies I have neglected for the past month. I’d like to be able to blame Shaw for my lack of responses, but even
its failure to deliver emails last week isn’t an excuse, because they claim only one message failed to arrive. Apparently, in its effort to eradicate spam, the company last Thursday killed all email messages,
Kind of like daylight savings time increases – do something smart and we’ll likely forget the stupid things. regardless of content, demonstrating a “Bushian” propensity for error that, considering how much they charge for Internet service, is excusable only if a significant adjustment is made on our monthly bill. Kind of like daylight saving time increases – do something smart and we’ll likely forget the stupid things. And it isn’t only presidents and giant corporations attempting to
right dumb decisions. Another reason for my current “staycation” is to try to avoid being, to use a polite word, a boor, because I am entering the second week of a stop-smoking program. According to the medication, there is the possibility, though in my case it is a propensity, to be aggressive when using it, while at the same time eliminating the supposed “calming” effect of a cigarette. So, in an effort to shield all those who may come in contact with me, a decision to “hermitize” for a few days is perhaps the best choice, particularly when trying to end a relationship that has endured for more than half a century. Why, after so long, am I making the effort? While it takes about $3,500 a year to maintain the habit, the true motivator was the thought of eventually spending my last days hooked up to an oxygen tank, the hoses leading to my nose diminishing somewhat my perception of looking sexy.

Unnecessary for animals to suffer
I was absolutely appalled to read the recent news regarding the coyote caught in a leg-hold trap. This creature spent days suffering in unimaginable pain, eventually trying to chew off his own leg in a desperate attempt to survive. He was eventually found emaciated and taken to animal control where he had to be euthanized. I am so ashamed to be part of a community that would condone this kind of needless suffering. These cruel traps are usually intended
to trap fur-bearing animals, but they kill indiscriminately. The targeted animals are brutally killed for fashion, and the unintended victims, including pets, are simply discarded. What a tragic waste of life. It is completely unnecessary for these animals to suffer like this. Leg-hold traps are cruel and should be banned immediately. If an animal needs to be removed from an area, there are several humane options available.

in Abbotsford that provides support for people living with a disability. Services include fulltime residential care, integration of people living with a disability into communitybased programs and employment, and respite care. As CEO, Thiessen led Communitas into providing a wide range of services aimed at building an inclusive community and advocating for individuals living with a disability. Under Thiessen’s leadership, the agency (formerly MCC Supportive Care Services) grew from 10 staff in the early 1980s to more than 400 today, many working in Abbotsford. “Steve has kept bringing people around him, to collaborate, to bring expertise,” said Eugene Klassen, Communitas chief financial officer. “He sees the best in people before drawing limits. This has allowed us to build and grow.” At the celebration on Thursday, Thiessen was honored by colleagues and community partners for the contributions made over his career. “Steve is outstanding in a field of outstanding people,” said Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen. Guests recalled how Thiessen’s teamwork philosophy of leadership, as well as his gentle, respectful approach to the people Communitas serves, have made a difference in the community. “His open door attested to his readiness, willingness, and openness for communication,” said Marlyce Friesen, chair of the Communitas board of directors. Karyn Santiago has been named the agency’s new CEO. She has experience in local and international community development. “Steve has led the way in advocating for individuals living with disabilities,” Santiago said. “I am excited to contribute to Communitas and the work Steve has been a part of.”

hen the people of Abbotsford spoke, Chances Playtime Gaming listened. In their quest to become more of an entertainment facility, the doors to RED 21 Gaming Tap +Grill have recently opened. While the name may be new now, once you sample the hot food and cold beer, it might become the city’s newest dining hotspot. “We’re Abbotsford’s best kept secret right now,” says facility manager Jim Brenner. “People voiced that they wanted to have fun, and they wanted to do it here in town.” Located at 30835 Peardonville Road in Abbotsford, RED 21 is a part of the newly renovated Chances casino. The menu offers food from simple to sophisticated, including sizeable appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, flatbreads and main courses, all at affordable prices. A distinctive feature of the restaurant is the bar top slots that keep the gaming momentum going even while enjoying a meal. The interior walls are adorned with high definition TVs, and surrounding art that reflects the beauty of B.C with sprawling nature scenes, including Mt. Baker. Sitting down in a plush booth with Jim and vice-president of operations, Bill Stewart, my secondary taste-tester Matt and I began with a trio of recommended appetizers. First came the unique coconut prawns (black tiger prawns with a sweet chili dip), and then the delightfully crispy calamari with a housemade tzatziki, followed by lollipop ribs served with a tangy mustard sauce. For an entree I just had to try the 12-ounce boneless rib eye steak, which comes with a choice of savoury peppercorn sauce, blue cheese butter or sautéed garlic mushrooms. The plate came fully loaded with a thick mound of garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. My companion opted for the cordon bleu, served with linguini noodles in a pesto cream sauce and seasonal vegetables. With a variety of beer on tap, he may have only stopped eating long enough to order a RED 21 pale ale, which he described as “deep and delicious with an apple-like aftertaste.”
Jim also enjoyed the cordon bleu, which includes the name “RED 21” beside it on the menu to indicate a unique twist on the classic dish by the kitchen. Bill feasted on the seafood linguini, impressively lavished with black tiger prawns, cod and clams tossed in a white wine cream sauce. The menu is stacked with choices including a Montreal reuben on grilled rye bread, and a beef dip with the option to make it a Philly by adding grilled peppers, onions, mushrooms and Swiss cheese, all with the choice of fries, soup or salad. The main dishes range from homemade Indian yellow coconut curry chicken, beer-battered fish and chips, and baby back ribs with Tennessee Whiskey or Red Hot BBQ sauce. Having finished his beer, my guest ordered a Caesar, and was quite pleased with its rich flavor and garnish of bean and olive. He leaned over to me and whispered, “I’ve really liked everything so far.” I couldn’t agree more. Even though the RED 21 team has just started out in Abbotsford, they believe that they have a winning concept and are looking to their lead chef Amanda James to help launch another successful location. “She promotes quality standards, and right now it’s about getting the food program off the ground and attracting the right people,” says Bill. “We want to make sure that we are providing something for everyone.” From food and games to live local entertainment, every night of the week offers something new to intrigue every age group. “It’s prime rib night here on Fridays where we offer three cuts of prime rib that are sterling silver quality beef, with prices that can’t be touched,” explains Jim. “That also comes with a gaming offer, so anyone who purchases the meal gets a five-dollar gaming voucher.” So whether you are looking to eat, drink, play or socialize, this is your RED 21, Abbotsford, and all bets are on success.

Guests and grads from decades past were on hand for the official opening of Abbotsford Senior Secondary on Friday. After a $45-million partial replacement and seismic upgrade, Abby Senior at 2329 Crescent Way is now entering a new chapter in its long history. While the new facility opened in September, most of the finishing touches are now completed. The gymnasiums, music area, community theatre and some classrooms were retained from the old building. Guest speakers at the event included Abbotsford Board of Education Chair Cindy Schafer, student speaker Elena Giuchici and Abbotsford-West MLA Mike de Jong, a former student. Also being celebrated was the official opening of the on-site Abbotsford Community Library, funded by a $4-million contribution from the City of Abbotsford. The school also hosts the Sweeney Neighbourhood Learning Centre which will offer a range of community and city programs and services. It is named in honour of Ron Sweeney, former Abby Senior teacher, former city councillor and community supporter. He was in attendance with his wife Mary to participate in the occasion.

Have you ever taken a look in the mirror and thought to yourself, “Wow, it’s time for a change!”? Historic Downtown Abbotsford did that years ago, and the outcome of that makeover is spectacular.

Hansen Secondary among winners Three schools in the Fraser Valley are celebrating big wins in the University of the Fraser Valley’s first-ever ChatterHigh competition. The students of Rick Hansen Secondary, Hope Secondary and Chilliwack Senior Secondary have earned their school not only bragging rights, but prize money. Rick Hansen students took home first place and a cheque for $1,250. UFV recently partnered with ChatterHigh, a newly created website designed with one focus – to help students learn more about the post-secondary options available in BC. To add an element of fun and friendly competition between local schools, UFV’s recruitment team decided to put some prize money on the line. Students in the five Fraser Valley school districts were invited to participate on the ChatterHigh website by answering quiz questions and earning points for correct answers. The competition was open in October and November.

Abbotsford Police have released the third in a series of posters aimed at raising youth awareness about the dangers of using the drug ecstasy.
Poster warns of ecstasy use Police release third in series
The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) has launched its third poster in the Operation X series which is aimed at informing youths about the dangers of using street drugs. The poster depicts the potential tragic outcome of street-drug use and challenges young people to “Be the life of the party, not the death.” “We think that this is an important message to be shared with young people in advance of spring break and before the graduation season is in full swing,” said Const. Ian
MacDonald in a press release. The release of the poster coincides with the release of the Punjabi version of the APD’s documentary film “Operation X – The Straight Goods on E.” That film, which will be released nationally this year, was made following the ecstasy-related deaths in late 2011 of Cheryl McCormack, 17, and Tyler Miller, 20, of Abbotsford. Both the Punjabi and English versions of the film can be seen on YouTube.

NATIONAL CHAMPS! Cascades dominate at CCAA tourney, beat hosts in final
Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
The glow of winning a national championship was still fresh for the University of the Fraser Valley women’s volleyball team when they set their sights on a new goal – one that might be even tougher to attain. With the program’s first-ever Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA) title secured, thanks to a clinical three-set win over the host Lakeland Rustlers on Saturday evening in Lloydminster, Alta., the giddy Cascades players were determined to draw some deep emotion out of head coach Dennis Bokenfohr. Specifically, they wanted him to cry. “I think they’re going to try to get a heartfelt speech out of me,” Bokenfohr said with a chuckle via cellphone, as the Cascades drove back to their team hotel to continue a celebration that began at the Lakeland gymnasium. “But I’m staying strong. They’re trying to make me cry – it’s not going to work.” Whether or not the players ended up inducing the water-
works from their usually stoic bench boss, the night was, without a doubt, an unqualified success. Facing a sixth-seeded Lakeland squad which had ridden the adrenaline of its home crowd all the way to the final, the top-ranked Cascades wasted little time draining any suspense from the proceedings. UFV dominated the first two sets by scores of 25-12 and 2510, then sealed the title with a 25-20 triumph in the third. Kayla Bruce, named the national player of the year earlier in the week, paced the offence with 11 kills, while Krista Hogewoning and Katie Bilodeau had eight kills apiece and Jenna Evans chipped in with seven kills and three aces. Libero Brittany Stewart notched a team-high 11 digs, while setter Kira Tome picked up player of the game honours. Evans, a fourth-year outside hitter out of Abbotsford’s St. John Brebeuf Regional Secondary, was selected MVP of the national tourney. Bruce and Stewart were named to the first all-star team and Bilodeau to the second team. “We came out with a pret-

ty good game plan,” noted Bokenfohr, whose team beat the Mount Saint Vincent University Mystics and the Cégep Garneau Elans en route to the final. “The girls knew what to do, it was just a matter of execution.” Bruce said it would take a while for the thrill of winning a national title to fully sink in. “That was my last game as a fifth year (player), and we won a national championship,” she marvelled. “It’s really exciting, and I’m going to remember it for a really long time.” The Lakeland gym was packed with over 1,000 fans cheering on the home side, and
Bokenfohr said the buzz in the building was “outstanding.” “It was just a fun atmosphere to play in, and our girls relished it,” he said. “They had smiles on their faces right from the time they stepped into the gym, and they built off it.” n The tournament was a learning experience for the Columbia Bible College women’s volleyballers. The Bearcats, making their debut at nationals, lost all three games and finished eighth. They wrapped up their run with a fiveset defeat (25-22, 17-25, 14-25, 25-23, 15-12) the Mount Saint Vincent in the seventh/eighth
placing game on Saturday afternoon. Sadie Ball (15 kills) and April Van Wieren (14 kills) had big games offensively, while Sharaya Schulte racked up 26 digs. “The first time you get on the big stage, you get a little bit of the deer-in-headlights going on that first day,” CBC coach Duncan Harrison noted. “The competition was excellent, and I was really proud of our kids. I thought they played extremely well, and represented our conference and our school and our city well. I’m really proud of what we’ve done, and it’s something we can build off of.”

41-29 victory over St. Thomas More in Saturday's title game at the Langley Events Centre. The Hawks were especially dominant at the defensive end of the floor – none of their four opponents at provincials cracked the 30-point barrier. "We were defensively amazing all week – we just played out of our minds," said Hawks coach Paula Thompson, whose team posted a 44-1 record this

Kodiaks push Pilots to the brink Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
Their backs are against the wall after two straight doubleovertime losses, but the Abbotsford Pilots believe they’re capable of a comeback. The local club dropped two games in heartbreaking fashion in their Pacific Junior Hockey League semifinal playoff series on the weekend, as the Aldergrove Kodiaks opened a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven set. On Friday at MSA Arena, Kodiaks forward Brandon Dolby jammed the puck past Abby goalie Aaron Oakley in a goalmouth scramble at 7:58 of the second OT to lift his team to a 5-4 win. On Sunday, it was Stefan

Gonzales playing the hero – he scored at 3:33 of double-OT to give Aldergrove a 4-3 triumph. “We’re still in pretty good shape – you’ve got to win four games, that’s usually how it works,” insisted Pilots coach Jim Cowden, noting that his team rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the 2011
playoffs vs. the Port Moody Panthers. “Generally, we’ve been playing pretty well, and we’re still pretty confident. We’ll

just have to keep plugging away.” Fueling the Pilots’ confidence is the fact they built thirdperiod leads in both weekend losses, but the flip side of that coin is, they need to finish stronger. “We had breakdowns both games,” Cowden noted. “But we’re still upbeat and believe we can win this.” Game 5 goes at MSA Arena at 7 p.m., with the Pilots hoping to force Game 6 (Wednesday, 7:15 p.m., Aldergrove Community Arena) and Game 7 (Friday, 7:30 p.m., MSA Arena).

Hawks, Eagles climb podium
From A21
The Mouat girls basketball program clearly has a bright future – the Grade 9 squad won silver at their provincials the previous week. Victoria Jacobse of the Hawks was tournament MVP, while Sarah Spring was a tourney all-star. n The MEI Eagles Grade 8 boys squad nearly won a provincial title of their own, but they settled for silver after dropping a dramatic 54-52 decision to Kitsilano in Saturday's final at Pitt Meadows. There were four lead changes in the final minute alone, but Kitsilano fended off the top-seeded Eagles in the dying seconds. MEI's Ty Rowell earned player of the game honours after racking up 34 points in the final, and he and Carson Bargen were named tourney all-stars. "The boys were disappointed by the loss in the final game but with the memories of a 39-2 season, they will have lots good times to remember," said Eagles coach Pat presents Johnson, whose team's terrific campaign included gold medals at the WIN: Towne Cinema Centre admissions, toys, novelties, candy.

Lions, Hawks boys in the hunt for B.C. title Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
The B.C. AAA high school boys basketball championship is as wide-open as it’s ever been, and the Yale Lions and W.J. Mouat Hawks are dreaming of cutting down the nets at the Langley Events Centre as the tournament tips off this week. The Lions are among the top contenders, as one of three teams to hold the No. 1 ranking this season. But this group has a far different makeup than Al Friesen’s titlewinning teams of 2008 and 2010 – they’re a smallish squad that fast-breaks foes to death, whereas both of Yale’s title teams dominated in the paint. “We don’t have a beast waiting to be unleashed physically,” noted Friesen, whose team is led by swingman JJ Pankratz and

point guard Jauquin Bennett-Boire. “It’s all about how tough you can become . . . and how well you can channel that as a group.” The Hawks are talented in their own right – they opened the season ranked No. 5 and have been in and out of the top 10 at different points. They’re the biggest team in the field, with 6’11” Sebastian Muermann and 6’9” Tristan Etienne, but aside from point guard Corey Hauck, they’re not overly dynamic on the perimeter. “We’ll need to have a complete team effort – it’s not just about relying on one or two guys,” Hawks coach Rich Ralston said. Both teams open on Wednesday, with Mouat facing Handsworth at 10 a.m., followed by Yale vs. the Burnaby Mountain-Caledonia winner at 11:30 a.m.
