Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
The number of overall crimes in Abbotsford dropped 12 per cent from 2011 to 2012, but collisions resulting in injuries and fatalities increased. The 2012 year-end statistical report released this week by the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) shows there were 7,962 criminal code offences last year, compared to 9,049 in 2011. Const. Ian MacDonald said this decrease contributes to a 40 per cent drop in crime in the last four years, putting within reach the APD’s goal of 50 per cent in five years. He attributes the decrease to a focus on “intelligence-led policing” that includes analysts pinpointing crime trends in the city and officers targeting individuals – such as prolific car thieves – who could be responsible. “It (crime analysis) just gives us more tools to use,” MacDonald said. Drops were noted in almost every crime category. Among the most significant decreases were vehicle theft (down 38 per cent), firearms/explosives (26 per cent), assault with a weapon (23 per cent), and sexual offences (22 per cent). Areas experiencing an increase over 2011 were theft over $5,000 (up 22 per cent), robbery (six per cent) and domestic violence (15 per cent).

Patient Testimonial
Prior to being a patient with Dr’s Surdhar and Lui, I’d have described myself as an “apprehensive” patient. The one that wishes the upcoming circled date on the calendar was past. After a few procedures with the dentists at Bridgeview Dental I can happily say that I no longer dread the upcoming appointments and look forward to seeing the friendly dental team and having my dental work done. Even a recent extraction and implant that followed was without discomfort. I feel confident in the treatment they provide me knowing they keep up with what’s new in the dental field with their continuing education and study club participation. Heather

ABBOTSFORD SOUTH Lakhvinder Jhaj

Independent
NDP
Liberal
ncumbent John van Dongen has been an Abbotsford MLA since 1995. Born into a farming family, he studied agricultural economics, earning a degree from UBC. He was also a director of Dairyland for 15 years. Eighteen years ago he went into provincial politics, winning a by-election in 1995. He spent six years in opposition, and in 2001 became part of the government. Van Dongen held numerous positions, including minister of agriculture, solicitor general and minster of state for intergovernmental relations. Elected as a Liberal, van Dongen left the party last spring, and joined the Conservatives. He became an independent MLA in September 2012. “I’ve really enjoyed the work of serving the people, and for me, the primary responsibility of an MLA is to serve people, to be available to them,” said van Dongen. “There are lots of challenges. I enjoy working through those challenges.” Van Dongen said people want to have an MLA who connects with them. “There’s a lot of concern in the community in the sense that they are not VAN DONGEN that happy with the existing government, but this community hasn’t tended to support the NDP party either. So they are looking at options and they’re happy to have an option.” He said voters have to decide who is the MLA they can have confidence in and who will work for them. Calling Abbotsford South a “threeway race,” van Dongen said, “My sense is there is huge diversity out there in terms of what’s important to people. It depends on their experience. For a lot of people, they are just becoming aware of the fact that there is an election coming up.” For those who are active in the community, van Dongen said they have concerns about the economy, about the provincial government and how it will work for them. “They talk about a whole range of issues.” He said it makes this election complex and unique. He said his entry as an independent candidate will give people a choice that they might not otherwise have. “It’s important that people consider what sort of representation the riding is going to have, depending on who forms government. I have a track record of working in opposition with whoever’s in government and working within government to deal with the issues.”
hen asked to describe herself, NDP candidate Lakhvinder Jhaj summed it up in three ways – she’s a mom, a wife and a community activist. “I believe in community; those are my values. I want to do something, anything, to make our community a better community...” Originally from Abbotsford – she used to live on Lefeuvre Road and was married in Abbotsford – Jhaj eventually moved to Penticton, where she and her family lived for 24 years. She returned to this community about three years ago. “Abbotsford has always been home,” she said, noting that her family still lives here and her children are going to university locally. After running her own business, she currently works as a banker. No stranger to provincial politics or to the NDP party, Jhaj ran in the 2009 election in the Boundary-Similkameen riding, losing a tight race. She’s hoping to go the next step in Abbotsford. “I want to bring a positive change and when I door knock, that’s what people are looking for, a change.” JHAJ Jhaj believes she can be that positive change and can “create a very clean political path” for future generations. It’s very important that B.C. be an equal-opportunity province for everyone, she said. She feels remaining active in the community and talking to constituents is key. “When I’m door knocking, all I hear is, ‘Oh my God, we have a politician at our door; we’ve never had a politician at our door.’ Then I tell my constituents, this is just the first step. You are going to see a lot of me, not just during the election time, but throughout.” Her conversations with voters have convinced Jhaj that people want to see positive politicians, and want honesty and integrity. “They want to see that when politicians make promises, they stick with them.” She said HST was a prime example of why voters have lost trust in the political system. “Everywhere you go, HST is a huge issue. People are still talking about it and still can’t forgive them (the Liberals).” She believes the NDP has always listened to the people and will continue to do so. “We are for the average people in B.C.”
arryl Plecas has lived in Abbotsford for the past 37 years. The 61-year-old criminologist is director for the Centre for Public Safety and Criminal Justice Research at the University of the Fraser Valley, where he has worked for 34 years. He’s been married to his wife Joanne for 36 years and has two sons. Having travelled all over the world, Plecas said he’s noticed that governments everywhere are in financial trouble. “All of the things people need – most notably health care – the demand for services has outstripped our ability to pay for them,” said Plecas. Governments usually raise taxes, add user fees or borrow money to address the problem. But Plecas calls borrowing “problematic” because taxpayers have to pay more to service that debt. “We are, as a province, extremely rich in natural resources. So, I say ... why would we increase taxes or borrow when we can pay for those services from the resources we have in the ground?” Plecas observes that many government decisions are for “political PLECAS reasons.” He believes there is a need to have people at the table who will have a strong voice, while still being able to stay part of a team. “I think I could do that. I think I have a history of making things happen when they didn’t happen before.” Plecas said most constituents are concerned about overall provincial issues. “It’s not like people have a specific Abbotsford issue. The issue is concerns about the future, concerns about government management.” There is one local issue that Plecas said keeps getting raised – the environment. More specifically, the proposed waste-to-energy incineration plant that Metro Vancouver wants to construct. “I tend to look at that as a bit of a non-issue because only an idiot would be supporting the incinerator if you live in Abbotsford. That’s just not going to happen,” said Plecas. Plecas said it’s important to ensure that B.C. remains strong on every level. “Abbotsford South and Abbotsford in general will only ever be as strong as the province is overall. “If we don’t have a strong B.C. we aren’t going to have a strong Abbotsford. It’s just that simple.” He said that government has to have a foundation that says “we’re hell-bent on not increasing taxes and we’re hellbent on reducing debt.”

Fatal traffic accidents soar 125 per cent over 2011 From A1
MacDonald said the increase in domestic violence files can be attributed to more focus on helping victims report crimes and supporting them through the court process. But the most substantial increas-
es were noted in a non-crime category – traffic collisions. There were 501 collisions resulting in injuries in 2012, compared to 477 in 2011. There were nine traffic-related fatalities in 2012 – up 125 per cent from the four fatalities the previous

QUESTION
WebTalk
OF THE WEEK
No Canucks deal
Would you attend more local AHL hockey games if the team was the Canucks’ affiliate rather than Calgary’s Heat?
(Mayor) Banman, you owe your city a more detailed explanation on why the deal fell apart. “We ran out of time” is not an excuse. We also seem to have run out of time for the YMCA (which may have been a good thing for now). It appears the city does not have time for much these days. Hudson Bronson
To answer, go to abbynews.com
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Pro hockey is about entertainment and I have been very entertained these past 4 years. The deal will come together when all concerned agree. All parties want it to happen so in good time it will happen. Harold Loland
Do you think a 26-storey twin tower project proposed for Gladwin Road is an appropriate development for that area?
Banman doesn’t get it! A Canucks farm team will do much better financially than a Flames farm team. We’re not going to support a team now for future hopes that the Canucks farm team will come later. Make it happen now! John Jefremow

On Point After grinding out the goods for the past several months, the rumour mill can finally power down and send its hard-working staff home. The Vancouver Canucks AHL farm team is not coming to Abbotsford. The Calgary Flames-affiliated Heat are staying. At least, that’s the case for the 201314 season. Were it up to mere wishful thinking, and there was plenty of that by plenty of people, it would have unfolded as dreamed. Hockey fans wanted it. Devoted Canucks fans have always groused that the wrong team was in town. Whispers that the Flames were looking at moving the Heat to Utica, New York became increasingly persistent, only to be officially doused. But suddenly, the planets started
to line up. The hot gossip that the deal they were being offered. Canucks were buying the Peoria RiverMaybe it was a supply fee agreement men from the St. Louis Blues actually like the Heat have?

cards they played, primarily because the game may start again next season. Big corporations – and that’s what professional hockey teams are – don’t do their deals in public. So, Abbotsford can only wait and see. And think. While we’re pondering, would a Canucks farm team in this city be as much of a bonanza as many people believe? Sure, the arena was far more crowded when the Wolves were here, but it didn’t sell out every night, and that was when it was a novelty. What will happen when there’s an entire season of Baby Canucks to watch? As one pundit recently mused, Toronto is a hockey-mad city of five million people, and it can’t fill an 8,000seat arena with their AHL affiliate, the Marlies. On the other hand, as many have said, we could hardly do worse with the Canucks farm team here. And there’s the rub. Just about the worst thing local fans (read taxpayers) could do would be to boycott the Heat next year in a fit of pique. It’s all about attendance.

letters HST: Past colossally irresponsible
When you heard/ watched/read the medical staff at Royal Inland Hospital stating the hospital has been running at over 100 per cent every day since 2013 began, what thoughts were triggered in your mind? My thoughts went back to April 1 as I was standing at the cash register in a thrift store digging for the extra 21 cents imposed on my $3 purchase by the return of the PST. As I dumped the change out in search of that 21 cents, I thought about just how appropriate it was that the PST came back on April Fool’s Day. Because no matter how you spin it, switching back to the PST from the HST was so financially irresponsible, it blew past the line of colossally irresponsible behaviour into “did everybody eat several extra bowls of stupid?” territory. Yes, many will be happy they do not have to pay seven per cent provincial tax when they eat out – at least until the eateries put prices up by more than seven per cent to cover the cost

St. Paul’s Hospital? That will require an investment approaching $1 billion and, well, sorry, but that $1 billion is being repaid to Ottawa. Have other important major capital projects that need investment, renewal or replacement? Sorry, but that half-billion dollars is being repaid to Ottawa as well. So as the media and the opposition joyfully run around pointing
out the government has not committed funding to hospital construction, we need to remember the reason government does not have money to fund hospital construction is that Bill Vander Zalm, Adrian Dix, the NDP and the media convinced the majority of BC residents that sending the $1.5 billion back to Ottawa was a good idea.
Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask! Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent. Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home. Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold. This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-
served for the real estate agents and their clients. This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home. To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811. This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.

Bridge traffic down Use of the new Port Mann Bridge is down around five per cent since tolls took effect in December. Transportation ministry officials say 200,000 fewer vehicles crossed the toll bridge in February – 2.7 million compared to 2.9 million in February of 2012 before the crossing was tolled. About 100,000 fewer vehicles crossed in January, compared to three million a year before. Transportation Investment Corp. spokesman Greg Johnson said bridge traffic is continuing to fluctuate and it will take time before it stabilizes. Asked if the drop in Port Mann traffic equates to a similar increase in traffic at non-tolled bridges, Johnson said he could not speculate on that.
Some of the drop in vehicle traffic may be due to drivers parking their cars and taking the new #555 express bus from north Langley over the Port Mann to New Westminster. The province also released GPS measurements of the time taken to travel Highway 1 before and after the new bridge opened. Drivers going from Surrey to Coquitlam have cut their travel time by nearly 60 per cent, the transportation ministry said. Morning commuters now take 40 minutes to get to Boundary Road at Grandview from 200 Street in Langley, compared to 68 minutes prior to the new bridge. That time is projected to drop again to 23 minutes when the rest of the highway work is finished.

The Abbotsford Board of Education has held two public information meetings on the district’s budget for the coming year. A slight enrollment decline is currently predicted, which would result in a lower operating grant from the province. Various anticipated cost pressures have resulted in an estimated $4.1 million deficit. The district has plans to balance the budget through slight increases in other revenues along with spending reductions and increased operating efficiencies. The district does not anticipate significant impacts in schools. The final budget will be reviewed by the Board before being submitted by the end of May.

Welte looks to the future New chamber president wants to build on predecessors
Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce elected the second youngest president in its history last month. Now, 31-year-old Mike Welte is looking to lead the local chamber into the future as it celebrates its 100th anniversary. Born and raised in Abbotsford, Welte is a graduate of Yale Secondary and the University of the
Fraser Valley where he earned a bachelors of business administration degree, majoring in accounting finance and minoring in economics. He is currently manager of customer service at Farm Credit Canada. Welte got involved with the chamber about seven years ago and was elected to the board four years ago. For the last two years he has served as the chamber’s
vice-president. “The chamber has been really good to me. It’s allowed me to get involved in the community in a lot of different aspects,” said Welte. That includes sitting on the city’s economic and agriculture advisory committees as well as working with the Community Foundation and the Rotary Club of Abbotsford-Matsqui. He said the more he got involved, the

more he realized how much good work it does. “The chamber does so much for so many people.” Unlike some chambers across the country, the Abbotsford chamber continues to thrive. “We are very fortunate because our chamber is staying constant or growing annually, where a lot of chambers are losing membership. I think the key is to try and understand and stay relevant to your membership.” Chambers have to address issues that the membership is concerned about. With that in mind, Welte said the chamber will take some time to work on two main points – communication with members, and advocacy efforts. “I think once we understand what’s affecting all our members in the community, then we can really ramp up our advocacy efforts.” One big issue facing members now is the looming B.C. election. “There is some uncertainty about who’s going to get the crown, for lack of better words, in May. That opens up a whole onslaught of issues depending on who gets elected.” The chamber will be hosting three all-candidates meetings, on April 30, May 2 and May 7, to allow members and the public to raise topics with the candidates. Another item of concern to Welte is the “tax inequalities” between business and residential. “Business people pay 2.6 times the rate of a residence so that’s another issue that is affecting their prosperity Continued on A17
Strategy to lower taxes for business From A16
and I think as Abbotsford, we have an opportunity to create an environment in which we’re competitive on a municipal tax rate system.” He’d like to determine a “competitive strategy” to lower taxes for business without shifting taxes to residents. That, he said, would create more jobs and a more prosperous economy. “There’s two ways to deal with a budget, you increase revenues or you
decrease expenses. So maybe there are some efficiencies on the expense side which we can pass some of that on to business.” He said businesses could then reinvest in themselves, hire more employees, continue to grow and ultimately grow the local economy. Another issue impacting chamber members is the increase in crossborder shopping. Welte said it negatively impacts members. “Ultimately, it hurts the local econ-
omy, because money is not reinvested in our economy.” He said both the BC and the Canadian chambers are examining the issue, because if it’s impacting Abbotsford, it’s probably impacting border cities in Ontario as well. Welte said he has a simple goal overall. “My goal is to leave the organization in a better place for the future and I hope I can build on the great work of my predecessors to kind of move the organization forward a little bit.”

Family serves free Indian feast Luncheon coincides with Vaisakhi
An Abbotsford woman who has held a traditional South Asian feast for the community every New Year’s Day has moved the date of the event. Gurdip Dhaliwal will now hold the luncheon on Saturday, April 27 to coincide with Vaisakhi, a Sikh celebration held every April. The event begins at 11:30 a.m. at the Salvation Army’s Centre of Hope at 34081 Gladys Ave. and will take place until the
food runs out. Dhaliwal began serving the New Year’s Day feast – free to anyone in the community – in 2007. But a drop in attendance at the 2012 luncheon prompted Dhaliwal to reconsider the timing this year. She cooks and serves the entire meal – including samosas, curried chick peas, vegetables and rice pudding – with the help of family and friends.

In fact, we’ve got a great number of choices and a wide selection of pool heaters available. My first recommendation to get heat in your pool is to use a SOLAR BLANKET. You’ve seen these, they’re the one with the bubbles. This allows the sun to get down to your pool and warm it faster, and prevent cooling and evaporation. Next step is a high efficiency NATURAL GAS pool heater. We have models for above ground and in-ground pools, and we can even get PROPANE heaters for those who are a bit further out. These heaters assure you that your pool is ready to enjoy, even if the sun isn’t out. The final step is to install SOLAR PANELS to maximize your ability to keep your heating costs down. We can design systems for every size and type of pool. Careful use of a pool heater can extend your swimming season in the Spring and Fall, and help you get the most enjoyable use out of your pool!

Constable assaulted suspect and then lied
Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
An Abbotsford Police officer who lied to investigators after he assaulted a shoplifting suspect in 2009 has been suspended without pay for 28 days. The decision was made following submissions presented at a hearing for Const. Adam Page through the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner (OPCC). Adjudicator Ian Pitfield concluded after an OPCC hearing in February that Page had abused his
Realtor appointed An Abbotsford realtor has been named to the board of governors for the Real Estate Foundation of B.C. (REFBC). Gerry Martin, managing broker of B.C. Farm and Ranch Realty Corp., is among five members appointed to the board for three-year terms. Martin was a member of the Real Estate Council for six years, which included a term as chair of the provincial real estate licensing and regulatory body. He is also a past director of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board and past chair of its broker council. REFBC receives interest income from deposits made by real estate buyers into a brokerage trust account and uses the proceeds to support real-estate-related research, education, law reform and other projects.
authority when he assaulted the suspect in September 2009 and then made false or misleading statements to investigators. A decision on disciplinary action was reserved until this week. Page previously faced a criminal assault charge, to which he pleaded guilty in April 2011. He received one year probation and a conditional discharge, meaning he will have no criminal record. During those proceedings, the court
heard that Page pushed a handcuffed shoplifting suspect – arrested at the London Drugs store in West Oaks Mall – into a wall hard enough to leave a dent. According to OPCC documents, Page then told investigators, in oral and written statements, that he had accidentally stepped on the suspect’s right calf and ankle, lost his balance, and fell forward into the man, pushing him into the wall. But at the hearing in February, Pitfield
said video of the incident clearly showed otherwise. Options for disciplinary action included Page being fired from his job, but Pitfield said in the decision released this week that the circumstances of the assault did not merit such consequences. Pitfield said the suspect did not require medical attention and did not report the conduct to police, although the report does not identify who did. Pitfield was more critical of Page’s de-

ceit, saying it is “the most disciplinary default that can be committed by a police officer,� and said dismissal should be a consideration on this issue. However, he decided against that, citing Page’s involvement in an anger management program, his eventual admission of the facts, and his otherwise unblemished employment record. Page received a three-day suspension for the assault and 25 days for the deceit.

Lions, T-Wolves hunt down sevens titles
Dan KINVIG
Abbotsford News
The Yale Lions boys and the Bateman Timberwolves girls battled their way to the top of the heap at the Abbotsford Rugby Football Club’s annual high school sevens tournament last Friday. The event was contested at the Yale Secondary, and the host Lions made great use of home field advantage – their senior and junior boys teams swept to victory in their respective divisions. The senior boys
tourney doubled as a Fraser Valley regional qualifier for the B.C. sevens championship, with the top four teams advancing to the provincials at UBC this coming weekend. Yale dominated – they didn’t allow a single try all tournament long, blasting Bateman and Elgin Park by identical 35-0 scores in the semifinals and finals, respectively. “We don’t spend much time working on it (sevens as opposed to 15’s),” admitted Lions coach
Doug Primrose, whose team is ranked No. 3 in B.C. in the 15’s version of the sport. “We’ve got some pretty good athletes this year and they played pretty well.” The Yale senior boys will be joined by Bateman and Surrey schools Elgin Park and Clayton Heights at sevens provincials. The T-Wolves beat Clayton Heights 35-12 in the bronze medal game. On the junior boys scene, Yale topped Bateman 28-7 in the final.
The senior girls tourney was a round robin, and the T-Wolves went 3-0 to clinch the title. Their stiffest test came
against the defending provincial sevens champions from Abbotsford Senior, but they prevailed by a 12-10 score.

with the University of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball team, was named B.C.’s top university player. He finished second in Canada West in scoring at 21.2 points per game, and was named a first team conference all-star. Additionally, UFV’s Aieisha Luyken was nominated for the top B.C. women’s university player award, but she lost out to SFU’s Nayo RaincockEkunwe. Q Yale Secondary’s recently launched U16 hockey team has been accepted into the Canadian Sports School Hockey League (CSSHL) for the 2013-14 season. The Yale squad will join the CSSHL’s new Elite 15’s division, which features seven teams in B.C. and Alberta. Teams will play between 30 and 36 games, with a league championship and location to be announced. “It’s an exciting time for the sports school model,” said CSSHL chair Bill Doherty. “The addition of the new programs and the new Elite 15’s division give evidence to the belief that academics and athletics go hand in hand in a young student athlete’s development.” Q Abbotsford’s Magnuson Ford women’s team qualified for the Provincial B Cup semifinal after knocking off Prospect Lake 2-1 on Sunday. The local side scored both their goals just before halftime, and both came off the boot of Megan Webster. In the 40th minute, Shandelle Steine sent the ball through to Danielle Schmidt, who in turn fed a perfect pass for Webster to open the scoring. Webster made it 2-0 four minutes later on a penalty kick after she was taken down hard in the area. Prospect Lake got on the board in the 65th minute, but the back line of Sarb Dhillon, Donna Pinning, Brittlyn Nickel and Lauren Kruger and keeper Karlee Arden kept them at bay from that point. This Sunday, the ladies travel to Vancouver Island to play Gorge FC, with the winner advancing to the Provincial Cup final.

Rocking the Agrifair
Christian group Jars of Clay to play Aug. 4 The chart-topping, threetime Grammy award winning Christian rock band Jars of Clay will be performing at this year’s Abbotsford Agrifair. The group will perform on Aug. 4. The Jars of Clay sound is a blend of alternative rock, folk, acoustic and R&B that is enjoyed by both the secular world and Christian community. Lyrics, based on the personal beliefs of the band members, inspire without being overly laden with biblical scripture. “This is big for the Agrifair,” said Pamela Brenner, Agrifair general manager. “We expect Agrifair grounds will be packed Sunday evening.” Those who want to ensure themselves a spot at the show can attend the free pancake breakfast, being put on by Psalm 23 Transition Society, at 8 a.m. the morning of the concert. One thousand priority tickets are set to be handed out to hungry fans at the breakfast. After the pancake breakfast, round the family up and attend church cowboy, cowgirl or little-wrangler style with

LOOKING FOR THE
BRAKE FLUID FLUSH Corrosion is the #1 cause of brake component failure. Corrosion can pit the metal bores of the master cylinder, and ABS components. Just like engine oil, coolant and transmission fluid, brake fluid “wears” over time. Not only does brake fluid wear, but the internal brake components also wear, producing “slude”. This leaves the brake system vulnerable to corrosion and compromise.

Circle F is a volunteer-based organization funded by donations, with 100 per cent of the money going directly to care for horses. The organization currently rents a piece of land on Matsqui Prairie near Glenmore and Harris roads, where unwanted horses are cared for and prepared to be adopted into a new home. Joy Smith, a volunteer with the organization, arrives at Circle F every Monday to help care for the animals and assist with administrative duties. “Monday is the best

Smith said the economic recession has also meant more people getting rid of horses they can no longer afford.
The Circle F facility can keep seven or eight horses at a time, and adopts out about 15 annually. After losing her horse, 19-year-old Claire Mercier adopted Sophie from Circle F.

Circle F.� Volunteers visited their farm to make sure it was suitable for Sophie, and they’ve since visited to check to see how she is doing. Mercier said Sophie is also 19, making her an easygoing companion. “It makes me feel good that I can adopt a horse who really needs a home instead of going to buy a $15,000 horse.� The Circle F volunteers work in shifts, split into teams that focus on specific tasks including horse care and conditions, assessment of the animals coming into the program, visits to potential homes, fundraising and administration. Horses that arrive at Circle F following a rescue are placed in an isolation padlock with their own food and shelter. They are slowly introduced to horses over a fence and eventually integrated into the herd. Horses are monitored for health issues and behavioral issues and acclimated to people and other horses before the groundwork for adoption can begin. Smith said most of the awareness surrounding Circle F comes by word-ofmouth. They operate based on donations, striving for sustainability of their operations, but also hoping to eventually settle into a permanent location. Circle F will be holding a “country hoedown� fundraising event at The Grand Ballroom in Richmond on Saturday, April 27. Tickets cost $15 in advance and $20 at the door, with $5 from each ticket going to Circle F. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and there will be cowboy cha cha lessons from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., followed by dancing until midnight. There will be a bake sale, a silent auction and a raffle at the event with proceeds going to Circle F. For more information visit www.circlef. ca.

Your home is where you live in comfort, and create warm, longlasting memories. The valuable knowledge that I have received from working for RBC in Vancouver, moving to Abbotsford in 1976, and contracting four homes (plus being related to developers), is what I draw from to help you find the perfect home that fits your needs. Raising my children in a well-planned community has introduced me to many clubs, volunteer positions and a variety of fun, social, and sport events.

Facebook has been a very influential and fun way to engage and interact with our ‘fans’. We designed a contest when the spa’s facebook page first went live and within a few short weeks our fan base grew to over 2,000 people. When social media is used responsibly and respectfully it can be a very powerful and effective tool to create growth in a new or existing business. It has been a great way to stay in touch with our customers keeping them updated on spa news, treatments and product launches.

Chief Constable Bob Rich has taken Abbotsford from the “Murder Capital of Canada” to a city we can all be proud to live in. Bob believes strongly in our community, and says, “APD is responsible for making Abbotsford safe. Each year we look at what needs to be fixed to make the community better. We then set measurable goals to deal with each issue. We have made some progress in the last few years to make Abbotsford safer. We call that a good start! We have more to do.”

G E O R G E M U R R AY City of Abbotsford Manager George Murray has become deeply entrenched in operations since starting his position earlier this year. Murray intends to provide leadership to each department and let them do their designated work. He said he is one part of a team that relies on the exchange of information and expertise between employees. “You can look from the outside of an organization and think you understand how decisions were made . . . but you truly don’t understand until you get inside.” I’m an accountant, but I’d like to think I am going to spend just as much time working on systems, processes, governance and culture,” he said.

Now in our 47th year as
Toyota’s
longest-
serving Western Canada Dealership, we believe we’ve learned what our customer’s have come to expect. Our entire staff is committed to excel in every facet of our dayto-day interaction with our
most
important
asset; our customers.
What is the most important rule you follow when it comes to customer service? Every day we strive to meet, or exceed clients expectations in their Sales, Parts & Service interactions with our team members – our staff are friendly, helpful & truly interested in making your experience here the best it can possibly be.
Describe the ways your business has given back to the Abbotsford community: Sunrise Toyota is very proud of its ongoing support for numerous local charities (Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the Abbotsford Food Bank and Run For Water) and Abbotsford Hospice, that directly affect people in our community. We have also enjoyed a long history of supporting youth sports teams in the community. It is our belief that a key to our current & future growth is our ties to, and our giving back to the community that also supports our business.

What if ACS was gone tomorrow? What if all the 80+ programs, like Meals on Wheels, no longer existed?
We have expanded into social media through Twitter (sunrise_ toyota) & Facebook (Sunrise Toyota Abbotsford) to allow us to interact with clients in new ways so that we can continue to enhance your every experience with Sunrise Toyota!
Tuesday, April 16th began like any other day. Sixty-two year old Ron was getting ready for his day. He was looking forward to sitting down in his easy chair to watch “Let’s Make a Deal”. At the other end of town eighty-two year old John was getting ready for his weekly volunteer service of delivering Meals on Wheels. Ron was one of his scheduled stops. But John didn’t get an answer at Ron’s condo which was strange. After explaining why he was there to another owner in the building, she let John in. Something was very wrong. John knew Ron lived alone and didn’t get out much. He was determined to get in there and check in on him. Ron had suffered a major stroke just before John arrived. He was lying on the floor in his bedroom unable to communicate. Thanks to the quick thinking of another resident in the building and John’s patience, emergency responders arrived and rushed Ron to the hospital. Had it not been for John’s persistence in getting that meal delivered, it is doubtful that Ron would still be alive today. So what is the value of Meals on Wheels? Priceless.

Their focus is providing professional practices and results when renovating and remodelling.
Our clients enjoy the attention to detail, timely communication and the positive attitude we bring to every project. The team aspect of our business means that clients receive follow thru services and successful completion to their project.
Describe the way(s) your business has given back to the Abbotsford Community: When a local design firm drafted and constructed a large H.O.M.E.S Society build, they required our services to finish beautifully. With help from our Design Services team and our Contractor of Flooring sales and Correct installs, the results were beautiful but also safe. Upgrades were provided by Pro-Pack free of charge. Shelly and the Design Services team finished with quality furniture supply and staging to compliment the whole build.

We would like to think that being active in apiculture and education, has heightened awareness of others to the challenges to the honey bee, the most efficient pollinator. Without the honey bee, about 30% of the world food supply would be at risk. We are hopeful that people, who are working to reduce their carbon footprint, are also learning ways of living that will help protect the habitat of the honey bee.

Growing up here, I love the feeling of being in both the city and the country at the same time. Abbotsford still has a small town feel even though it continues to have awesome growth, and I love that. It is a beautiful setting to raise our family in and we appreciate the cultural diversity and the strong roots in the Sikh community.
What is your most important rule for customer service? Our primary goal is to meet our customers’ needs and always provide a solution that best fits their interests. We have a ‘think outside the box’ approach and provide solutions that other stores often cannot. We are also big on empowering our staff so they can make decisions on the spot instead of having to get in touch with management.
What does the future hold for your business? We hope to continue opening Bell Mobility and Virgin Mobile locations throughout the Fraser Valley and the Lower Mainland to increase our footprint as a established dealer in the wireless industry. We also hope to continue giving back to our community as we have over the past few years.
How has your business given back to the Abbotsford community? Most of our charitable commitments have been geared towards children and youth. For the last 6 years we’ve been involved with the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) helping to raise funds for research aimed at children living with Type 1 Diabetes. We host an annual fundraiser in Abbotsford where we’re able to raise thousands of dollars for this cause and we are very proud of this event. Smart Wireless also sponsored 2 soccer teams this year through the Abbotsford United Soccer Club. We’ve been supporting the Kids Help Line for several years now which helps kids across Canada get access to anonymous and confidential professional counselling. This year we were able to also make a significant contribution to the Abbotsford Food Bank as well as the Fraser Valley Hindu Cultural Society. Smart Wireless is also planning to take part in this year’s Vasakhi celebrations.

7 Tilitzky, Susan Hilda
DIGUISTINI, Jeannie Passed away peacefully on April 21st, 2013. Much loved by all who knew her. A gathering of friends will be held on Saturday, April 27th at 2:00pm at Duke & Sandi Lyon’s, 1865 Jackson Street, Abbotsford.
SWARD, George With heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of George Sward on April 10, 2013. Born in Abbotsford to a Matsqui pioneering family on May 3, 1934, George was raised in Matsqui and later lived in Oregon, California, Hope and Mission. George often regaled family and friends with stories of growing up on Matsqui prairie, watching the war planes fly overhead as a youth, seeing snow drifts up to the phone lines and of watching the family farm in Hatzic float away in the flood of ‘48. George was a hunter, fisherman, gardener, outdoorsman, heavy duty mechanic and, most importantly, a husband and a father. He lived a long and happy life surrounded by good friends, remarkable experiences and great stories. He never shied away from hard work and spent much of his life working on projects that included the Coquihalla Highway, the Wolverine Tunnel and the Carmen Smith Tunnel in Oregon. He was a wealth of information about family genealogy, Matsqui history and anything to do with airplanes, engines or WWII. George is survived by his wife of 58 years, Phyllis, sons Joe (Gaynor) and Tim (Kris), and grandchildren Max, Winston, Peter, Timmy, Tristin and Sierra. Also left to mourn are his brothers Don (Judy) and Wayne (Estella) as well as a large extended family and a huge collection of cherished friends. A celebration of life will be held at the Ridgedale Rod and Gun Club (35655 Harris Road, Abbotsford) on Saturday, May 25th, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. Messages of condolence can also be sent to remembergeorge@sward.pw In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the MS Society of Canada or to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre.
Susan Hilda Tilitzky (nee Harder) was born on February 27, 1923 in Morse, Sask., the youngest of three children to Henry and Susan (Sawatzky) Harder. She passed into the presence of her Lord on April 16, 2013 at Cascade Hospice in Chilliwack, B.C., surrounded by loving family. Susan was predeceased by her beloved husband Abram Tilitzky on October 4, 2011; she was cared for in recent years by her large and loving family Sharon Funk (Len); Susan Falk (Jack); Beverly Johnston (Robert); Paul Tilitzky (Florinda Clifford); Michael Tilitzky (Marion Syme); & Richard Tilitzky (Vicki). She also leaves behind to mourn her passing twelve grandchildren; Sherry Redekop, Len Funk Jr., Stephanie Konrad, Michele Gingras, Jacqueline Block, Andrea Fikkert, Janine Neufeld, Clarance Tilitzky, Liam Tilitzky, Amy Schulz, Jason Tilitzky and Jodi Tilitzky; nineteen great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. Susan was also predeceased by her parents and her brothers Harold Harder and John Harder. A celebration of her life will be held at 2:00 pm on Tuesday April 30, 2013 at Level Ground (formerly West Abbotsford Church), 31216 King Road, Abbotsford, B.C. Online condolences may be given at www.woodlawnfh-abbotsford.com
We would like to thank the many friends who visited and supported Susan while she was in Hospice. We would especially like to thank Dr. Ron Bull and the exceptional staff at Cascade Hospice for lovingly caring for our Mother as well as supporting and helping our Family during this very difficult time. Online condolences to the family may be made at: www.woodlawnfh-abbotsford.com
