Parks manager missing Rescue workers continue search for Mark Taylor after ski accident Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Crews were hoping to resume their search yesterday afternoon or Tuesday morning for a City of Abbotsford department head who fell down a crevasse while backcountry skiing in the Rockies. Mark Taylor, the general manager of
the City of Abbotsford’s parks, recreation and culture department, has been missing since just before midnight on Tuesday, March 12. He had been backcountry skiing with two others – his daughter in her 30s and a man in his 60s – on the B.C. side of the Wapta Traverse, located northeast of
Golden on the B.C.-Alberta border in the Canadian Rockies. Omar McDadi, spokesperson with Parks Canada, said the trio were on a five-day excursion in the area – a popular mountaineering spot – and would have been staying at huts along the way. Continued on A3

2010 incident involved a woman attacked when she arrived home Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
A Vancouver man has been charged in connection with a violent breakin and assault that took place in Abbotsford in 2010. Ryan Christopher Jensen, 22, was arrested last Friday (March 8) at a residence in Surrey and has been charged with break and enter, robbery and assault causing bodily harm. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said Jensen was identified by DNA left at the scene. The incident occurred at about 6 p.m. on Oct. 26, 2010, when a 20-year-old

woman returned home to her second-floor townhouse in the 34900 block of Old Yale Road.
She noticed damage to the door, and when she entered the suite she saw two men loading video games, clothing and electronics. One of the men fled, and the other attacked her, hitting her several times in the face before leaving. The injured woman called police, and was taken to hospital for treatment of facial injuries that included bruises, lacerations and a fractured nose and cheekbone. Police issued a composite sketch of the assailant, along with a public plea for assistance in tracking down the two men. MacDonald said the ar-
rest of Jensen was the result of a “courageous victim and diligent investigators” from the APD’s major crime unit, patrol division and forensic identification section. The second suspect has not been caught. Jensen is next scheduled to appear in Abbotsford provincial court on March 26. According to the provincial court database, he has a criminal history that includes convictions for assault, uttering threats, and breaching his conditions. He is also scheduled to go to trial in May for a robbery that occurred in Vancouver in August 2012.

Medical grow-op busted for too many plants An Abbotsford man has been arrested in connection with a medical marijuana grow-op in Chillwack that had 15 times its allowable limit. Nearly 2,000 plants were seized from the home in the 7300 block of Ramsay Place, according to Chilliwack RCMP. “We have encountered several abuses to the medicinal marijua-
na system, but this one was pretty significant,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “This is a continued focus for our drug unit due to the danger these operations pose to the community.” Police also recovered an improperly stored firearm, a significant amount of cash, and “dried marijuana bud that looked ready for distribution.”

Some realities about oil
It’s easy to be a pipeline opponent these days, especially in B.C. The ham-fisted public relations approach by Enbridge, in attempting to sell its Northern Gateway proposal, has made it easy to oppose oil pipelines. But opponents and the rest of us need to consider some basic facts. Pipelines are an economic and essential way to send large quantities of commodities like oil a long distance. The alternative means of getting oil to a refining or shipping point are rail or truck. Neither is any safer. Northern Gateway is proposing a new pipeline along a new route. Enbridge failed to properly consult and make partnerships with native people who live all along its route. Given the lack of treaties in B.C. and court decisions over the past 30 years, native groups will be able to either tie up the process in court for years, or give it an outright veto. A refinery in Kitimat, proposed by Black Press owner David Black, would be far better than shipping oil overseas,
but it makes more sense with a pipeline to deliver the oil. The Trans Mountain oil pipeline, which runs through Abbotsford, is now owned by Kinder Morgan. The company has proposed a twinning of its 60-yearold pipeline, and shipping more oil out of Vancouver harbour. Some pipeline opponents think that by stopping or delaying pipeline projects, they will somehow end Alberta oilsands development or curb global warming. Not so. The oilsands will continue to produce oil. It will simply be transported by another means. If they are serious about reducing global warming, a good place to start would be in backing proposed LNG plants for the B.C. north coast. The sooner China can replace its coal-fired power plants with those fired by natural gas, the better it will be for the environment. However, it’s always easier to be against something than in favour. – Black Press
A new route for traffic, and politics? Mark
Rushton On the
Other Hand Accustomed to being fed “brunch”, I’m sure my animals felt rudely awakened as I tossed them hay at 5:30 a.m. last week, the poodles equally surprised to be tossed outside so early to take care of business. However, the morning machinations had to be undertaken early if I was to catch the ferry to Victoria in time to attend the last legislative session of the current government. Surprisingly, and despite the artificially low 50 km speed limit along Zero Avenue, it took only slightly more than an hour to reach the toll booths at Tsawwassen. Which made me wonder why it couldn’t be achieved even more quickly if there was an efficient high-speed southern east-west connector as an alternative to the overburdened Highway 1.
After all, the Fraser Valley is the growth centre during the next few decades, and unlike Vancouver which is some 50 km north of the border, Abbotsford and much of Langley is situated right on it, so demand and need for such a route can only increase. And it isn’t just quicker access to the Island ferries that is the issue, but Vancouver International Airport as well. In fact I can’t remember when I travelled from Abbotsford to the airport that I didn’t take Zero or 8th/16th Avenues to get there. Quicker, convenient and far less traffic than trying to wend my way through Vancouver or New Westminster. Certainly a southern transportation corridor linking the 99 Freeway with Highway 1 in Abbotsford has long been talked about, with 16th Ave the favourite since it would also provide direct access/egress to Abbotsford Airport. However, that route would mean considerable land acquisition at higher prices, and either myriad driveways entering the route or even more space for parallel roads on each side to provide residential/farm access. Zero, on the other hand, has far fewer
entryways, and only on the north side. A single parallel road would address access and, for safety purposes, separate the homesites from the highspeed traffic. On the southern side, all that would be needed is a high fence to pre-
A single parallel road would address access and, for safety purposes, separate the homesites from the high-speed traffic. vent wildlife collisions, while at the same time make our American friends happy that their country would be more secure from terrorists, drug runners and enterprising Canadians trying to sneak through the berry fields to buy cheap gas. This route would also provide better access to the border crossings at both Aldergrove and Pacific Highway for both cross-border shoppers and commercial transport. And to avoid screw-
ing up the entries to the crossings the new route could swing up from Zero to 8th just west of the Aldergrove crossing, while providing an even more seamless route to Abbotsford Airport. Avoiding a traffic mess at the Pacific Crossing would simply mean rerouting just east of 176th, again up to 8th, to link up with that recently upgraded roadway to the 99 Freeway. Simple, smooth and fairly easily accomplished, and at far less cost than rewhacking 16th Ave into a sort-of freeway. So if you’ve ever wondered what goes through the minds of some people as they sit for an hour and 40 minutes on a fog and rain shrouded ferry, the above is one of the answers. As to the last legislative session, it was interesting . . . even more so because I was there for the first one of this government some 12 years ago. The big question however, certainly for many of those I watched on the Legislative floor last Thursday, will not be whether the May 14 ‘employment review’ results in a new government, but a ‘new’ political party leading it. markrushton@abbynews.com

Traffic keeps on moving, while pedestrians are at risk I would like to add to Colin King’s comment in the Thursday, March 14 edition of the Abbotsford News. I also am a pedestrian and on several occasions have very nearly been hit. The most hor-
rible experience was when I was crossing Gladwin Road on South Fraser Way. I was halfway through the crosswalk, the walk sign was still on, when three trucks saw a chance to turn left and without regard
to me turned, going north, I had to jump back several steps to avoid being hit. Another place that is very dangerous is where Gladwin meets South Fraser Way. Motorists come roaring down South Fraser Way to turn
right onto Gladwin without checking the crosswalk.

Dedicated volunteers to receive Queen’s medal Two Abbotsford residents will receive the Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for their work with the Parkinson Society British Columbia (PSBC). Betty and David Giesbrecht
of Abbotsford will receive the honor during a presentation on Saturday, March 23 during the PSBC’s annual general meeting in Vancouver. The couple have been supporting PSBC since 1996,
Permit values decline
when Betty was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. They are members of the local support group, and volunteer to assist with various activities. Betty currently serves as
secretary and often assists the group facilitator in planning meetings. David notifies the local media of the monthly meetings. “Without the support and involvement of people like Betty
and David, we would not be effective in our role as educators and advocates for people with Parkinson’s disease in B.C.,” said Diane Robinson, CEO of PSBC. “We are truly grateful for their support.”
Impress your family. Tell them you “bought it.”
Building permit values in Abbotsford slipped 14 per cent in January 2013 from December 2012, with a drop in nonresidential permits offset slightly by a rise in residential permits, according to Vancouver Regional Construction Association’s analysis of Statistics Canada’s building permit report. Seasonally adjusted total building permit values in Abbotsford fell in January 2013 to $16.1 million from $18.8 million in December 2012. Seasonally adjusted non-residential permit values fell 78 per cent to $1.5 million from $6.8 million in December. Commercial permits fell to near zero in January, and industrial permits dropped 32 per cent to $1.4 million from $2.0 million. The seasonally adjusted value of residential permits increased 22 per cent to $14.7 million in January 2013 from December’s $12 million.

Hawks edge Lions in fifth-place game Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
The W.J. Mouat Hawks and the Yale Lions both dreamed of playing on centre court at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday, but it’s safe to say the fifth/ seventh placing game wasn’t part of that dream. Both Abbotsford teams in the B.C. boys AAA high school basketball championship draw saw their title hopes snuffed during Thursday’s quarterfinals – Mouat succumbing 72-69 in overtime to White Rock Christian Academy, and Yale falling 96-85 to St. George’s. Relegated to the consolation side, both teams were victorious on Friday – Mouat beating South Kamloops 77-70 and Yale topping Burnaby South 86-79 – to set up a crosstown clash in their finale on Saturday. The Hawks prevailed 81-71, and the result can be classified an upset – the Lions had won all three previous meetings between the two teams this season. Tristan Etienne (17 points, 18 rebounds) and Daniel Pawliuk (17 points) tied for team-high scoring honours for Mouat, while Corey Hauck (14 points, six assists) and Jesse Feenstra (12 points) also scored in double digits. Yale’s JJ Pankratz scored a game-high 26 points, and Jauquin Bennett-Boire (16 points, 11 rebounds) and Abraham Falls (15 points) also chipped in offensively. Lions centre Patrick Vandervelden was a force inside, swatting 11 shots and hauling down 10 rebounds. “Mouat shot the ball well and they played well, but there were
some good highlights in the game for us,” Yale coach Al Friesen said, alluding to Vandervelden’s shotblocking exploits. Four local players earned tournament all-star nods. Pankratz and Etienne were
named to the second team, while BennettBoire and Hauck were third-teamers. Hauck authored one of the tourney’s most memorable moments vs. White Rock, swishing a buzzer-beating three-pointer over the
outstretched arms of two defenders to send the game to OT. The Walnut Grove Gators won the AAA title, edging White Rock 59-53 in the final.

My technicians hear this comment frequently when www.vs.gov.bc.ca/marriage making repairs. This tells me that homeowners are not aware of some very important information. Entrusting any part of the electrical system to a handyman, because he may be familiar with construction is like allowing the janitor to remove your appendix just because he works in the hospital.
Electrical is a federally and provincially regulated profession. This means that it is illegal for anyone, other than a licensed electrical contractor, to provide and charge you for electrical installations, renovations and almost all repairs. The Canadian Electrical Code, which is updated every 3 years, has very specific rules and installation requirements that must be strictly followed to ensure a safe installation or repair.

Mary’s Huskies in Friday’s quarterfinals and 70-52 to the McGill Marlets on the consolation side Saturday – Tuchscherer bemoaned a missed opportunity. “It was pretty disappointing, there’s no doubt about it,” said Tuchscherer, whose Cascades were never ranked lower than No. 4 in the nation during the regular season and peaked at No. 1 in January. “Quite frankly, it’s an unacceptable result for the season we’ve just had. There’s a lot of unfinished business here. I don’t think we played particularly well.” The Cascades trailed Saint Mary’s by 14 points at the start of the fourth quarter on Friday, but reeled off a 13-0 run to get within a point at 51-50. The Huskies staved off UFV down the stretch, however. Tuchscherer was perturbed by the officiating – UFV was whistled for 21 personal fouls compared to just eight for the Huskies, and Saint Mary’s boasted a 22-9 edge in free throw attempts. “It sounds like sour grapes at this point, but in the middle of it, you’re like, ‘This can’t be happening right now,’” he said. “Every 50-50 battle was a foul for us. It was beyond crazy.” UFV struggled offensively vs. McGill, shooting just 27.7 per cent from the field. The Cascades did get one big win last week – fourthyear guard Alexa McCarthy took home the Sylvia Sweeney Award at the CIS AllCanadian banquet on Thursday. The award recognizes the Canadian women’s university basketball player who best exemplifies the values of athletics, academics and community involvement, and McCarthy became the second UFV player to win the award, joining Michelle Buhler (2007-08). Tuchscherer said he’s proud his program is establishing a legacy that extends beyond the game of basketball. “She (McCarthy) kind of stole the show, too, at the banquet with her acceptance speech,” he said. “It was just phenomenal.”

Heat shoot down Rampage
The Abbotsford Heat weathered a wild third period in San Antonio, ultimately outlasting the Rampage 5-4 in a shootout on Sunday. The Heat took a 2-1 lead into the final frame, courtesy of goals from Sven Baertschi and Brett Carson. The two teams would engage in a true Texas shootout in the final 10 minutes of regulation. San Antonio’s Brendon Nash and Abby’s Max Reinhart exchanged goals just over two minutes apart, but the Rampage responded with two goals in 14 seconds, with Jack Combs and John McFarland doing the honours, to take a 4-3 lead.
Blair Jones bailed out the Heat, scoring with 9.2 seconds left in regulation to knot the score. Overtime solved nothing, and Abbotsford goalie Barry Brust dominated the shootout. He stopped the four Rampage shooters he was required to face, while Jones and Ben Walter were successful on their attempts to lift the Heat to victory. Sunday’s game marked the end of the Heat’s seven-game road trip. They return to the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre for a Friday-Saturday set with the Rockford IceHogs (7 p.m. both nights). For more Heat coverage, visit abbynews.com

hances Playtime Gaming opened the doors of Abbotsford’s own first-class gaming facility in 2009. Chances Playtime, located at 30835 Peardonville Road, has provided gaming entertainment for many years, but is now upping the ante, and going all in with new renovations. Art Villa is the coordinator of business development, and has been in the gaming industry since 1998. He says the biggest change over the years is that facilities have evolved to offer the full experience, including better dining, live entertainment and electronic gaming.
away from bingo, the play area has been downsized, and as a result has opened up new private seating areas, including a VIP lounge. Chances Playtime now offers its very own restaurant with RED 21. The Gaming Tap + Grill serves high quality main dishes and sizeable appetizers at affordable prices. With a new liquor licence and a variety of beer and wine taps, it ensures that there is always a delicious drink nearby. A unique feature of the restaurant is its bar top slots that allow for continuous play, even while enjoying a meal.
“As big facilities change, the smaller ones need to change as well,” says Villa of the recent renovations.
“Most people don’t come alone, so it’s nice to have an area where you can sit, enjoy good food, watch a game or take a break,” explains Villa.
“YOU HAVE TO KEEP UPGRADING TO KEEP CURRENT.”
Evolving from a bingo facility to a well-rounded community gaming centre, Chances Playtime is looking to expand their demographic and offer services to guests from young to senior, new or returning.
The exterior of Chances Playtime has opted for a cleaner appearance, and has undergone minor changes to its landscape. However, it’s the inside that truly boasts a transformation, and where most of the upgrades have taken place. Villa explains that the gaming floor has been refreshed with the addition of new machines (from 125 slots to 186). Because of the steady trend
“For some people, the changes mean coming back to see us again for the first time,” says Villa. “For others it’s their introduction to what’s new on the floor, and experiencing the menu.” When asked about any future renovation plans, Villa laughs with relief, saying that he is happy with what they have done for now, “However, we are always evaluating what’s happening on the gaming floor and what can be improved.

Born as Helena Dyck in Harris Saskatchewan on October 24, 1924 she weighed in at 1 pound and was kept warm on the oven door at home. Growing up she was not always content with the Status Quo, sometimes an instigator, but always willing to break with tradition. Moving across the prairies she met and married her Bible School Teacher and her love Abe Koop, they continued on to BC where she had six boys and 17 grandchildren. Widowed in 1993, married a second time in 1999 to Harry Clark, enjoyed another Love, retirement, and wonderful friends. Widowed again in August 2012 and left us to be with the Lord on December 4. Her passion of art evident in the many pieces left in charcoal, acrylics, and oil. She loved the water and spent many years in synchronized swimming, practicing, having fun, and competing. Her love of music has left many memories of her filling the house with wonderful melodies on the piano amidst a Heavenly smell of fresh baking. High on her list was going out for lunch with Harry and reading while she could. From the very small beginning grew a great heart and we were blessed to have had her and to know her. A daughter, a sister, a mother, a wife, a grandmother, a teacher, a great-grandmother, a confidant, and a friend. She lived, she laughed, she loved, and we grieve.
