Proposed towers draw opposition

Parking and neighbourhood environment among residents’ concerns Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

Residents of the Horn Creek Trail area came out to oppose a plan to build two 26-storey towers on Gladwin Road at a public hearing on Monday. About 100 community members attended the hearing, with residents speaking against a bylaw zoning amendment for the residential and commercial development at 3068 Gladwin Rd., between George Ferguson Way and Maclure Road. The developer is seeking a group of bylaw amendments that would allow for a mix of commercial, residential and office space on the site, as well as reduce the parking requirements on the

site by 13 per cent. The site concerned by the high density would contain about 900 resi- of the development, which will dential units on a 9.6-acre be 10 times higher than the parcel. neighbouring homes.

Colin Hogan, the project’s architect, said he was pleased to see community members engaged with the project, but he wanted to clear up some misconceptions. Hogan said the site was previously rezoned to allow for six towers, a plan that was approved but put aside when the developer ran into financial difficulties. He said the current proposal from the developers – Ron Funk

and Kevin Wiebe – is actually a “downzoning,” and has 15 per cent less square footage than what could be built under the site’s current zoning. Hogan said the proposed 3,000 square metres of retail space and 2,000 square metres of office space will be a benefit to the community. He said the neighbourhood is already one of the most dense areas in Abbotsford and the development would benefit the existing community, as “there are a lot of people who would benefit from having services there.” Hogan said the project will be built in phases and will take from five to seven years, explaining that the towers will be built last. The neighbourhood has the existing apartment towers at the corner of Gladwin and Maclure roads.

Surrounded by a large crowd of area residents, Colin Hogan, the architect of a proposed twin-tower 26-storey development on Gladwin Road in Abbotsford, addresses council on Monday night.

Part of the proposal states the developer will create a 1.75acre public green space, featuring an open field, a children’s play area and a viewing area platform for the pond that is on-site, adja-

cent to Horn Creek trail. The developer undertook a number of environmental assessments of the neighbouring Horn Creek, receiving approval from both the city and Fisheries

and Oceans Canada. Environmental monitoring is required during construction, along with complete restoration work around the pond. The developer must ensure the storm water manage-

ment plan meets fisheries’ requirements and conduct a two-year follow up to ensure the restoration works are functioning as intended. Currently, the tallest building in Abbotsford is 17 storeys, but the city has approved a 26-storey high-rise at Gladwin Road and Bevan Ave, near Mill Lake. The development, called Mahogany at Mill Lake, was approved in 2010 and is in the process of being built. Abbotsford has dealt with the issue of building new towers since approving its new Official Community Plan – a 20-year planning vision for the city – in 2005. That document called for higherdensity housing in the city centre to reduce spread into the Agricultural Land Reserve to the west, or Sumas Mountain to the east.

at the company’s office in Abbotsford in January 2011, according to BCHRT documents. Shabnam Narayam, operations manager with Planet Group, testified at the BCHRT hearing that she decided at the end of February 2011 that Dhillon was “not the right fit” and advised the owners she should be fired. She said Dhillon was “not putting 100 per cent” into her training, and on several occasions arrived at work late and left early. The manager said she could not produce emails corroborating her opinion that Dhillon should be fired because they were lost during a computer crash. Dhillon informed Narayam on March 14, 2011 that she was pregnant. Narayam said Dhillon continued to have difficulty getting “up to speed” and

her colleagues were getting frustrated with her. Dhillon was fired on May 6 because her position as receptionist was no longer required, according to her termination letter. “Instead of training her, and supporting her maternity leave, she believed that it was easier for Planet Group to terminate her employment and hire someone who was already trained in conveyance,” stated the BCHRT documents. Tribunal member Diana Juricevic concluded Dhillon’s firing was discriminatory. She said Dhillon did not receive any verbal warnings, nor did she receive any letters of reprimand. “While I am persuaded that performance issues were a factor ... I am satisfied that Ms. Dhillon’s pregnancy was also a factor in her termination,” Juricevic stated.

QUESTION

WebTalk

YMCA shelved

OF THE WEEK Do you feel an “indefinite deferral” of the YMCA project is a satisfactory position for the city at this time?

It was postponed due to the death of the city employee that was directly in charge of managing the proposal. The YMCA is not gone for good. In fact, I, along with other youth in this city, hope that it is built. Dustin Hutton-Alcorn

To answer, go to abbynews.com

The YMCA has a great reputation, no one can deny that. But what makes this bid not a good choice for today is the money. We have so much debt and our capital reserve is practically depleted. Maybe this project should be reevaluated in say, 10 years, when our debt is under control and our city population is big enough to garner another big rec center. Janelle Threlfall

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

The city will spend $8 million as its share for improved border access and an overpass to cross rail tracks on Vye Road. Do you approve?

Personally I don’t oppose the Y building this facility, but to see the city contribute such a high percentage of the funds is ludicrous, wrong, short-sighted, ill-advised, and whatever else is possible to put into print. Rudy Hiebert

YES: 75 % NO: 25 %

Holota

On Point The proposed new YMCA facility in Abbotsford has been “indefinitely deferred.” So said Mayor Bruce Banman on Monday night, to cheers from a number of people in the audience. Well, that’s the end of that saga, then. But is it? In a letter to the city, the YMCA also stated an intention to “indefinitely withdraw their offer” to build a new facility here. However, as local businessman and vocal opponent Fred Thiessen pointed out, the memorandum of understanding (MOU) still exists. Banman agreed that the city and the YMCA have yet to address the conditions of that agreement. “Deferred” is not “dead,” and the reason given for the deferral did not

There is no question he was the city’s champion for the YMCA project, and a key figure in its development. Losing him is indeed a deep, grievous blow. Yet, the city and the Y really could not keep the process moving without him? (Should that ever happen in the future, it would be a fitting tribute to name the facility after Mark Taylor.) The fact remains this project is being placed on the back burner – but not for the reasons that critics have been hammering away at for months. And there are still strings left dangling, which conceivably could be picked up a year or two from now. Maybe leaving the door open a crack isn’t a bad thing, but it would have been far better for the mayor and council to give some acknowledgement Monday night of the key arguments of those opposed. The Y proposal is all about public money and need and timing. Those same questions will exist when or if this project comes off “indefinite” status.

letters YMCA still alive? Just before Fred Thiessen was set to present his 10-minute delegation to Abbotsford council Monday night, Mayor Bruce Banman read out a statement from the YMCA. Ostensibly, due to the death of Mark Taylor, the Y needs to withdraw “indefinitely” so Bruce asked if Fred wanted to give up his presentation of opposition to this proposal. It seemed to catch Fred off guard, and I don’t know what he would have done but some of the audience urged him to remember the “memorandum of understanding.” Bruce made it sound like we should all just be happy and go home now. But hold on. What did that letter actually say? We are grateful to Fred for pressing that question. Was the memorandum of understanding cancelled? Is it now null and void? Well no, not exactly. Could the YMCA come back to our city with that legal document in their hot little hands and force council to re-engage with the Y about the proposed 50 per cent of the up-front capital cost of a new building, on free land? Minimum guesstimate of $17.5 million up front. One and a half million promised from the provincial kitty, (still our money). Ability to compete with local business operations, both public and private, while drawing on the volunteer base and the donation base existing and future private operations rely on. All of that to be tax-exempt. What a colossal scam. So, Bruce Banman, when pressed for clarity by Fred Thiessen, had to admit that, well yes, the YMCA could come back at any time, and resume this attack on our city. If our council has an ounce of integrity, they will ask the YMCA to sign, with the city, that the memorandum of understanding is null, void and cancelled. Until the MOU signed between Abbotsford and the YMCA is dead, this is just smoke and mirrors. Gerda Peachey

An Abbotsford company is the recipient of the Vancouver Family Enterprise of the Year Achievement Award (FEYA). Valley Pulp and Sawdust Carriers and the Klassen family received the award on April 4 from the Vancouver chapter of the Canadian Association of Family Enterprise (CAFE). The local company is now a finalist for the national FEYA, presented annually by CAFE. Valley Carriers was founded in 1963, when Neil Klassen purchased their first truck to haul firewood and sawdust from local sawmills to farms. Years later, his children and their children are involved.

The company’s fleet of 20 trucks travels more than one million kilometres each year, transporting wood residuals such as sawdust, bark mulch and hog fuel for use in agriculture, landscaping, and the pulp and paper industry. The company employs more than 50 people, with 20 members of the Klassen family involved in day-to-day operations from locations in Abbotsford, Maple Ridge and Merritt. Past recipients of the Vancouver FEYA include: Purdy’s Chocolates and the Flavelle family (2012), the McLaughlin family of Grouse Mountain (2010), the Porte family of Porte Realty Ltd. (2009) and ABC Recycling (2008).

Q. I’m concerned about the environmental aspect of maintaining my Hot Tub. Are there any products out there that have a lower environmental impact? A. That’s an excellent question and good for you! Yes. Many of our Hot tub and Pool supplies in the PERFECT LOGIC and PURITY lines conform to the very stringent Canadian ECOLOGO CCD 171 specification. This means that they are considered “green” products, and are formulated and designed to be environmentally friendly.

Hot Tub products:

• Spa Miracle - one shot weekly treatment for your Hot Tub water. Sanitizer, oxidizer, and clarifier all in a pre-measured pouch. It doesn’t get any easier. Works with chlorine and bromine systems.

Careful use of sanitizers makes a huge difference too. Shocking your Hot Tub once a week and bringing your water sample in for FREE COMPUTERIZED WATER TESTING can dramatically reduce chemical use. Making small calculated adjustments to the water is far better than trying to guess at what to do using chemicals that you might not need.

604.820.2025

Here’s some of our favorite

• Spa Super Enzyme - “Certified Spa Water Treatment” Ecologo CCD 171 - a naturally derived formula to remove organic substances - helps keep your Hot Tub water clean in an environmentally friendly way.

• Computerized Water Testing • Pool & Spa Supplies • Pool & Spa Repairs • New Pool Construction • Pool Renovations • Hot Tub Covers

mobs in the community for the last couple of years, supporting agencies such as the Abbotsford Food Bank, Communitas, the Women’s Resource Society and Abbotsford Community Services. Group leader Mary Boonstra said the group decided to participate in the PEDAW campaign because it’s in line with her philosophy – “love our bodies, love ourselves and love to move.” The group holds a rehearsal on Thursday, April 11 from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Abbotsford Virtual School gym (33952 Pine St.). Anyone wanting to participate is asked to send an email to mary@grooveforce.ca. Also participating in the PEDAW contest is a group from Abbotsford Community Services. PEDAW is an effort to raise awareness around the prevention and early intervention of eating disorders. Deadline for submissions for the flash mob contest is May 1.

$175,000 climate action grant from province

Abbotsford News Thursday, April 11, 2013 A17 Abbotsford News Thursday, April 11, 2013 A17

The provincial government is providing $174,730 to the City of Abbotsford in recognition of its commitment to support a healthier, more sustainable community in B.C. The conditional grant – from the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program – provides funding to communities that have signed the Climate Action Charter and report publicly on

their progress toward meeting their climate action goals. These communities receive a grant equivalent to 100 per cent of the carbon tax they pay directly, for a total of more than $6.2 million province-wide in 2012. Abbotsford received the grant to support the community’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and work toward their charter goals. NOW THRU APRIL 20. NO RAINCHECKS

House prices are ‘staying in check’

In March, the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board processed 1,128 sales on its Multiple Listing Service (MLS), a 20 per cent decrease compared to the 1,412 sales during the same month last year, and a 24 per cent increase compared to February’s 913 sales. The board also received 11 per cent fewer new listings in March compared to last year – 2,736 compared to 3,066 – keeping inventory in check. March finished with 9,503 active listings, 1.5 per cent fewer than March of last year and 3.5 per cent fewer than the 9,832 available during March of 2009; the highest volume of active listings for that month in the last decade.

I have had the honour of servicing hundreds of people like you over the past 22 years and I know what matters! With a terrific wife and two great kids, you can count on me to take extreme care of you and your family’s mortgage needs. I’m an active participant in the local professional community, a regular presenter of the Wealthy Investors Network and a member of the MBABC.

“Although we saw a typical spring uptick in activity from February to March, our sales remained at about 70 per cent of the norm for March and our new listings came in at 90 per cent of what the Board would typically receive,” said Ron Todson, president of the FVREB. “Because inventory levels are in check, prices are staying in check.” In March, the benchmark price of single family detached homes in the Fraser Valley was $544,300, an increase of 0.6 per cent compared to $541,300 during the same month last year. For townhouses, the benchmark price was $298,200, a decrease of 1.7 per cent compared to $303,400 in

5. We do the underwriting before there is a claim.

March 2012 and the benchmark price of apartments was $204,200, an increase of 0.8 per cent compared to $202,500 in March 2012. “Inventory levels are not as high as they need to be to put significant downward pressure on prices of the benchmark, or typical home. These are homes that have characteristics most common to houses in a given community. “In fact, we’re seeing the reverse happen. Benchmark prices for all three main property types in the Fraser Valley increased in value during the first quarter of 2013. Since January, detached homes are up by one per cent, townhomes by 0.6 per cent; and apartments by two per cent,” Todson added.

But it isn’t all work! I am also passionate about old cars, well, almost anything with a motor and wheels. I am currently restoring a ‘66 Impala SS. The family is less enthusiastic about this hobby when there is work to be done but loves to ride in the 70 Dart or on the collector Harley on a sunny weekend.

Born and raised in Abbotsford, I am a proud resident of this great diverse city. I have seen Abbotsford grow from a small farming town to a thriving city. I am proud to serve this community as a Real Estate Professional for the past three years. My family history is in Real Estate and I followed every little kid’s dream of being like their father when they grow up. Building and maintaining relationships through hard work and honesty are the core principles of my business. I take pride in giving my clients the best service and professional advice they seek. I am constantly studying current and projected future market conditions so I can provide my clients with the most up to date information. I feel this is a real asset as buying a home is the biggest financial decision one will make in their life. My background in economics helps me assist my clients with all financial aspects of buying residential and commercial real estate.

Well folks, I originally started selling farms and ranches many years ago, in 1979, and was lucky to be joined by my son for the last 14 years. We do all kinds of farms! We know them and it is our love to see agriculture continue, wether it is in the valley or the 100 Mile House Area. Having lived on a farm our whole life with a strong University background in agriculture we get the job done. We offer the best of advertising, pictorial promotions, websites, and overseas promotions. We try to keep in touch with the latest municipal, provincial, and federal changes, which will encourage the new farmer starting out.

Mission’s Opening Nite Theatre is presenting the frolicsome comedy Nana’s Naughty Knickers. The show stars Toni Hehn as a widowed New Yorker, who runs an illegal lingerie boutique for seniors out of her Dillinger style, speak-easy apartment. Her law-student granddaughter, Bridget (played by Katie Thompson), is frantic. Tax evasion is serious and Nana could get arrested by the young cop next door (Tony Loyer) or worse, evicted by her stingy landlord (Randy Holmes). Others aboard this runaway comedy train are feisty friend Vera (a whiz with the walker), played by Pat Davis, two Casanova delivery men (Gary Atha and Gary Crawford), a racy model (Angela Bell), a powerful client (Tracey Anderton), and the nosy voice at the front desk (also played by Atha). Nana’s Naughty Knickers runs Fridays and Saturdays from April 26 to May 12 at 8 p.m. and on Sundays at 2 p.m. The show takes place at 33223 Railway Ave. in Mission. Tickets are $12 and are available at Murdoch’s BookShoppe 33078 First Ave. Mission or at the door. For information, email to openingnitetheatre@hotmail.com.

Local wrestlers win national titles Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Amongst a typically large number of podium finishes by Abbotsford wrestlers at the recent national championship tournaments, Jasmit Phulka’s performance stood out. The Rick Hansen Secondary grad won his second straight junior national crown in Fredricton, N.B., finishing atop the 84 kilogram weight class. That he did so with a broken rib is a testament to his pain tolerance. “I broke my rib in my first

match,” he explained, “but I had to fight through it. When I was breathing, it felt like my lungs were on fire.” Phulka plans to return to the practice mat after a couple weeks off to recover, and he’s ticketed for the world junior championships in Bulgaria in August. “I sprained my MCL at junior worlds last year, but I was a match away from the semifinals,” he said. “I want to medal there this year.” Fellow Abbotsford native

Ringing to the tune of the Great Reformation — each selection is musically arranged to the history: Hear the roar of the Earthquake of 1755 in Lisbon, or the fury of the political strife that bore down on Martin Luther and other Gospel leaders.

These happy young people are students of Fountainview Academy, a private Christian School in Lillooet, BC — specializing in vocational training and music! This concert is free with the donation of a food item to the Abbotsford Food Bank. A freewill collection will also be made during the concert to assist this group in funding their music filming trip to Europe. After the concert their music DVDs and CDs — featuring amazing scenery from the tropics of Hawaii to the beaches of California — will be for sale. Don’t miss it! Come. Be inspired!

The 19-year-old Abbotsford native won a bronze medal at the prestigious European Cup junior tournament in Coimbra, Portugal, battling back through the repechage after a second-round loss to earn the podium finish. “Going into the tournament I was really feeling confident,” said Jobb, who fights in the minus-90 kilogram category. “That’s important to me – I went to the world junior championships (in October 2012), and I wasn’t as confident going in. “Up at this level, if you’re not ready to go, you’re not going to fight as well. But I came prepared, I was ready to go when the day came, and I just fought well.” Jobb’s confidence was buoyed by a two-week stint at the national judo training centre in

Best-ever provincial performance for Twisters Gymnastics Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

B.C.'s best gymnasts were in Prince George for the provincial championships last weekend, and even against such a stacked field, athletes from Twisters Gymnastics Club stood out above the rest. The Abbotsford squad produced more champions than any other club, highlighted by seven allaround gold medallists. On the women's side, the Skulstad siblings – Ashlynn (national open) and Tamara (level 4 tyro) – both finished atop their respective divisions, as did Katrina Penner-Loat (level 2 open). On the men's side, all-around champs included Michael Frew (level 3 under 13), Elijah Horner (level 4 over 13), Cohen Kiers (national youth) and Kyle MachibrodaAmes (national open). "It was probably the best provincials that Twisters has had," enthused Shallon Heinzig, a coach with the women's

program. "Ashlynn Skulstad was the provincial champion at the highest level possible at provincials, which was exciting."

The Twisters women saw 14 of their 17 qualified provincial athletes climb the podium, and they were especially strong

UFV’s Klim to play in W-League Kayla Klim of the University of the Fraser Valley women’s soccer team has earned a roster spot with the Dayton (Ohio) Dutch Lions of the W-League this summer. Klim, a goalkeeper from Burnaby, made five regular season appearances with the Cascades during her rookie season in 2012, posting a 1-1-1 record, one shutout and a 0.60 goals against average. The W-League is administered by the United Soccer League (USL) system, and provides a venue for college players to play alongs i d e established pros while KLIM maintaining their collegiate eligibility. “I am really excited for the experiences ahead of me this summer,” said Klim, a product of the Whitecaps girls elite program. “The opportunity is going to allow me to take a huge step out of my comfort zone and really push myself.” Klim’s Dayton squad is in the Southeast Division and competes with the Atlanta Silverbacks, Carolina Elite Cobras, Charlotte Lady Eagles and VSI Tampa Bay FC for the right to play for the W-League title in late July. “I am very proud of Kayla, she is venturing out and challenging herself to take her game to the next level,” UFV women’s soccer coach Rob Giesbrecht said. “Kayla is an outstanding goalkeeper with a very bright future. I love that Kayla relentlessly pursues excellence in all she does, she is a joy to coach. She has been in very good form this spring and I’m confident she will do very well Dayton this summer.”

‘The trip of a lifetime’ Morford, 16, wins golf lesson at Augusta National Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

The schedule that Jordan Morford is keeping this week will surely make him the envy of every golf fan in Abbotsford. On Wednesday, the 16-year-old flew to Augusta, Ga. with his father Randy. On Thursday, he’ll be at Augusta National Golf Club – perhaps the most storied golf course on the planet – on the opening day of the Masters Tournament. Morford won the trip, which includes airfare and accommodation, thanks to his mom, who entered a contest on golf coach Jeff Ritter’s Facebook page. He’ll get a private lesson from Ritter on Thursday at a practice facility at Augusta National, then spend Friday watching the tournament in person. “It’s the trip of a lifetime,” Morford enthused. “It’s really exciting. “My mom entered the contest without me knowing,” he added with a chuckle. “I was actually golfing at the time when she called me and told me I’d won this trip. I didn’t

believe it, I was just in shock. But my golf coach (Matt Palsenbarg) actually called and told me it was legit.” Morford, a Grade 11 student at Robert Bateman Secondary, is part of the school’s golf academy and is a member at

Medals galore for local grapplers at nationals From A27

Sunny Dhinsa also turned in a terrific performance in Fredricton – he won the junior heavyweight (120 kg) title, and added a silver in the senior national event.

Though Dhinsa qualified for junior worlds, was dissatisfied with the runner-up finish in the senior division. He was ranked No. 1, but fell to Korey Jarvis of Guelph, Ont. “I wasn’t happy about

that,” he said. “It’s a guy I know I can beat, but it’s just what happened at that tournament.” Dhinsa finished fifth at junior worlds in 2012, and he’s aiming for the podium this time around.

“Last year I came in fifth, and this year I for sure want to medal, and hopefully gold,” he said. Local grapplers also shone at the cadet and juvenile nationals in Saskatoon last weekend.

DYCK, Anganetha (Nettie) 1921 - 2013 Anganetha (Nettie) Dyck (nee Ens), 92, left this earth to be with her Lord on April 8th, 2013. She passed away peacefully in her room at Menno Home, and had spent her final days surrounded by her loving family. Nettie was born on a farm east of Waldheim, Saskatchewan on the wintery day of February 3, 1921. Nettie began her lifelong relationship with The Lord when Evangelist Erickson came to Danzig School when she was 11 years old. In the early 1940’s when her brothers went off to war, she left the farm and moved to Waldheim to care for her mother, where she would soon meet and marry the love of her life, Ray Dyck, on June 11th, 1944. This began what would eventually turn into 68 years of marriage, raising 5 boys and 1 girl, who would later bless them with 14 grandchildren and 7 greatgrandchildren. Nettie is predeceased by her parents Gerhard & Elizabeth Ens; son Vern Dyck; her sisters Anna, Elizabeth, Maria, and Susanna Ens; her brothers Cornelius, Jacob, Gerhard, Abraham, Isaac, Henry, Peter, and Johann Ens. She is survived by her loving husband, Ray; her children Don (JoAnn), Marv (Susan), Robert, Larry (Cheryl), and Eunice (Larry); her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. She is also survived by many extended family members and dear friends. Mom loved many things: Cooking, baking, painting, knitting, plants, her patio, music, BINGO, mending, shopping, sugar, her family, her dolls, her Bible, pictures of her family from e-mails and Facebook, her piano, coffee, tea and conversations. She loved The Lord. We would like to thank the Menno Home and ARHCC staff and physicians who cared for and loved her. In Nettie’s memory flowers or a donation to The Gideons is appreciated. A Celebration of her Life will be held on Monday, April 15th at 1:30pm in Cascade Community Church, 35190 Delair Road, Abbotsford.
