A local group says a Fraser Valley family of four needs both parents to be working full-time and each earning a minimum hourly wage of $16.37 in order to obtain basic needs and escape “severe financial stress.” Living Wage Fraser Valley (LWFV), hosted by Vibrant Abbotsford, has calculated the “living wage” for the area from Aldergrove to Hope/ Boston Bar. The figure was released this week. A living wage is calculated based on a budget for a healthy family of four with two children aged four and seven, and each parent working 35 hours a week for 52 weeks a year. It takes into account basic expenses such as food, hous-

The living wage does not consider home ownership, debt, holidays, saving for retirement or a child’s education, or caring for a disabled, ill or elderly family member. LWFV coordinator Allison Homer admits that the budget is “bare-bones.” She said it brings attention to the plight of many families who are trying to survive on less than that, such as minimum wage, which starts at $10.25 in B.C. She said 43 per cent of children living in poverty come from families where at least one adult has a full-time job. “And a lot of families are Continued on A6

Residents want moratorium on gravel mines Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
A moratorium on new gravel mines, stiffer fines for offenders and enforcement of regulations were at the centre of a political debate Tuesday night at Straiton Hall. An all-candidates meeting focused solely on the issue of gravel mining on Sumas Mountain was held for candidates in the Abbotsford South and Abbotsford-Mission ridings. Only six candidates – independent John van Dongen and Liberal Darryl Plecas from Abbotsford South and Liberal Simon Gibson, Preet Rai of the NDP, Aird Flavelle from the Green Party and Conservative Don Stahl from

Transit and budget among audience concerns From A1
The debate was civil as candidates were asked questions prepared by representatives from the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board and the Fraser Valley IndoCanadian Business Association, followed by questions submitted by the audience. When asked by the Chamber representative about what the Conservatives would do for small businesses, Redekopp said small businesses and entrepreneurs need to be supported in order to prosper. “Our support of resource development, generally, and more specifically, KinderMorgan, Enbridge and the mining industry in B.C. guarantees trickle-down effects that will benefit small businesses.” While the candidates all spoke in favour of supporting small businesses, the issue of pipelines remained more divisive. De Jong emphasized the need for rigorous environmental assessments on any pipelines. Dhami stated Kinder Morgan would have to undergo a made-in-B.C. environmental assessment, stating “our kids are more important than oil.”

did not accept his nomination. Gill was questioned as to whether his campaign was based on “pettiness” and “vengeance.” Gill said he is not doing something for vengeance, and didn’t plan to run in Abbotsford South as an independent due to the incumbent independent John van Dongen. Gill said voting independent sends a message to political parties that they must start listening to voters. The issue of the provincial budget was raised. De Jong said government could have been tempted to table a budget full of promises to entice voters, but instead the Liberals produced a balanced budget. Dhami maintained that the Liberal’s balanced budget is in fact a deficit budget. De Jong responded that the NDP has made no reference to balancing the budget. Dhami said a budget won’t always be balanced – when the economy is good a government needs a surplus and when times are tough they must run deficits.
Redekopp also criticized the Liberal’s balanced budget, stating that selling assets to create a balanced budget is not a viable option.

ABBOTSFORD-MISSION Don Stahl
Preet Rai
Liberal
NDP
Conservative
An Abbotsford councillor wants to parlay his 30 years of municipal service into a job representing a larger audience. Simon Gibson will be running under the BC Liberal banner in the Abbotsford-Mission riding. The long-serving politician opened his Mission campaign office March 23. Gibson grew up on Vancouver Island, and moved to Abbotsford in the mid-1970s. He was first elected to Abbotsford council in 1979, and has served continuously since then, except for one year. The married father of two adult children has been teaching business at the University of the Fraser Valley for 13 years, and previously taught professional communications at Trinity Western University in Langley. If elected, he plans to resign from teaching and from Abbotsford council. Before teaching, he worked for Finning Tractor and Surrey Metro Savings. “I felt my experience in elected office would benefit the residents of our community,” said GIBSON Gibson on his motivation to run. “I think I would be a strong representative in the legislature. I’m a proven hard worker and I’m a good listener. I would go to bat for the people and I would be a good advocate for their concerns.” Gibson said the BC Liberals have provided strong, financially prudent leadership. “While I’m a believer that government has to provide a mix of social services,” there must be a strong economy in place to pay for those programs, he noted. “The NDP doesn’t have a monopoly on social conscience.” Locally, Gibson said several issues are key, including Metro Vancouver’s proposal to build an incinerator. Gibson said he would work hard to ensure that nothing would proceed without “the full involvement” of the Fraser Valley Regional District. Gibson has been spending two days per week in Mission since he won the riding nomination in January. Gibson thinks he would be a good fit for the job due to his level of integrity and his record of service.
An Abbotsford school trustee with a professional background in accounting is hoping to convince local voters he should represent Abbotsford-Mission. Preet Rai secured the BC NDP nomination earlier this year. Born and raised in India, where Rai earned his chartered accountant designation, he and his family immigrated to Scotland in 1992, and then came to Canada in 1995. The married father of three currently works as an auditor with the provincial ministry of finance, and has been spending time in Mission nearly daily to acquaint himself with that area of the riding and its residents. Rai said he’s been doing some door-knocking and residents are telling him that it’s time for a change. Among other issues, Rai said raw log exports, health care and education are on top of his list of concerns. As a father and a school trustee Rai believes that a strong education system is the key to fuRAI ture economic growth. While confident that B.C. schools are doing the best they can, he said the erosion of the educational system in the past decade has resulted in overcrowded classrooms, too few resources and cuts to special needs programs. Rai also said if elected he would focus on the economy through encouraging more people to shop local, and potentially, seeing if it’s financially feasible to get large employers such as Fraser Health Authority and Mission Public Schools to purchase items such as food locally. Transportation also ranks high, and the NDP candidate wants to find ways to increase the frequency of West Coast Express trains, and ensure Lougheed Highway is fourlaned all the way from Maple Ridge to Mission. Rai is partway through his second term as a trustee, and said that over the past number of months, he was approached by “lots of community organizations and leaders” asking that he run. He is taking a one-month unpaid leave from the board of education, and from his full-time job to focus on the election.
A lifelong outdoors enthusiast is hoping to trade his full-time employment in the bush for the halls of the B.C. Legislature building. Abbotsford’s Don Stahl is running for the BC Conservative Party in the Abbotsford-Mission riding, but his current day job is that of a B.C. conservation officer, patrolling an area from Coquitlam to Boston Bar. He has been doing that work for 15 years after graduating from then-called Malaspina College in Nanaimo with a diploma in environmental law enforcement. Stahl has been involved in provincial and federal politics for the better part of a decade. He was first introduced to that world 10 years ago when former MP Randy White asked him to help. Stahl joined the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon Electoral District Association for the Conservative Party of Canada, and sat three times as the group’s vicepresident. He has been serving as the president of the BC Conservatives’ AbbotsfordMission riding association for the past two STAHL years. “I decided I wanted to get more involved,” he said. Top of mind for Stahl are crime and the threat of a garbage incinerator being built somewhere in the region, which he says would lead to increased pollution in the fragile Fraser Valley airshed. Stahl is critical of the BC Liberals for allowing Metro Vancouver to go ahead with the planning process. “With our children’s health at stake, I don’t think it should even be considered,” he said. The BC Conservatives are pledging $700 million over three years to hire more sheriffs and to re-open some of the previously shuttered B.C. courthouses. Included in that figure, said Stahl, is $4 million to hire 10 special prosecutors in Kelowna to combat gang crime and violence. The former MEI graduate also wants to make MLAs more accountable to the public, and to ban corporate and union political donations. “(BC Conservative leader John) Cummins wants his MLAs to put the constituents’ interests over the party’s,” Stahl added. “This would mean far more free votes.”

Number of Compostable Waste Containers on Collection Day
Compostable Waste Sticking to the Bottom of Containers
Collection workers lift approximately 10 tonnes of waste each day. Spring clean up can result in additional VLJQLÂżFDQW WRQQDJHV RI \DUG ZDVWH IRU WKH FROOHFWLRQ workers. The City requests that residents try to spread out the number of compostable waste containers (cans, kraft bags and bundles) over several collection days, rather than placing as much out as possible on one day. As a guideline, it is requested that residents try to limit the number of compostable waste collection containers placed out for collection to 10 per collection day. If you have any questions, please contact the engineering department at 604-864-5514 or eng-info@abbotsford.ca
Grass clippings and food waste can stick to the bottom of compostable waste containers and may not be removed when the collection worker empties the container. To avoid GDPDJH WR FRQWDLQHUV DQG SURYLGH DQ HIÂżFLHQW FROOHFWLRQ service, collection workers must limit shaking and banging of the can to remove the compostable waste. If you are concerned about compostable waste sticking to the bottom of your can, consider lining the bottom with crumpled newspaper or using a Kraft paper bag. Other options include placing branches, leaves, or cedar needles, at the bottom of your compostable waste container. If you have any questions, please contact the engineering department at 604 864-5514 or eng-info@abbotsford.ca.

QUESTION
WebTalk
OF THE WEEK When you go to polls, will you be voting for the person or the party?
No to incineration Good for these politicians for standing up for the place they live. This is the important first step in building from NIMBY to NOPE (Not On Planet Earth). Helen Spiegelman
To answer, go to abbynews.com
That is good to know that the Fraser Valley is safe, now will candidates in other ridings offer their constituents the same protection? Sue Maxwell
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED: Would you attend more AHL hockey games if the team was the Vancouver Canucks’ affiliate rather than Calgary’s Heat?
Duane Nickull BC Conservative from Point Grey was the only candidate so far to say “no” to incineration regardless of location. “The wind makes us all neighbours” and that is the reality of it. We need to say that we are opposed to incineration regardless of location because this decision affects more than just our municipality. Metro Vancouver is making decisions that will affect many people outside of their jurisdiction... Jamie Kaminski

On Point Ever had one of those moments when what you see before you is simply devoid of any immediately identifiable logic? I experienced one recently. Coming home from work, I opened the front door, and stepped into the foyer. And there on the floor beside the bureau was a baby carrier. That made no sense. We haven’t had one of those around for many years, as our baby is now a teenager. I looked in the baby carrier. And in it was a baby, all bundled up like babies usually are. Whoa! Who-what-how? Does not compute. Mental equivalent of a hard-drive freeze. It took a few seconds for my brain to reboot.
There was a reasonable explanation dimension. for this situation, of course. I just “Say what...?” I weakly queried. didn’t know what it was. “That’s my practice baby for my Before I trusted myself to move, it family studies class. Remember?

I “Nope.” of business was to “Do you know the teen for just didn’t know what it was. admonish whose baby this is?” leaving a lifelike baby “Yes.” out on the floor where “Anna, whose baby is this?” it would be seen by a forgetful father. “Mine.” “What’s it doing out in the hallA wave of severe dizziness swept way?” over me. Obviously, it was the effect of “Why, where else would it be?” walking through a door, and abruptly Clearly, this is why this course is a transitioning from my real world, to good thing. a surreal parallel existence, in which “So, how long is it with you?” I was having an absurd and utterly “Twenty-four hours.

until he coos.” Well, they’ve got the right concept, but oh, were it really so easy, my dear girl. “I’m not going to get a whole lot of sleep tonight.” Yes, I think that’s the point of the exercise. Just in case anyone has a cavalier attitude about parenthood, and how one gets in that condition, this may be helpful in setting them on a path of enlightenment. (I’m proud to say my teen is highly enlightened, but reinforcement never hurts.) And if that means she has to get up every couple of hours, and tote around a crying plastic baby, well, good. It was actually a well-behaved little thing for most of the evening. So much so, I had forgotten about it, and was sleepily watching something on TV, when I was startled to hear the sound of a baby crying. My teen was standing beside the couch, holding something out to me. “Dad, do you mind taking the baby?” Good thing I was lying down, because I think I passed out.

letters Not a mandate for utopian paradise Early polling does not look good for the B.C. Liberal government as voters appear eager to have their tantrum and send them packing. A new NDP government should not construe this as a mandate to start engineering its vision of a utopian paradise in B.C. Voters’ dubious desire for integrity in government, financial or otherwise, won’t be delivered by the NDP. Dix is renowned for his craftiness with altering an official document in abetting another BC NDP premier’s violation of conflict of interest laws. Apparently two wrongs can make a right in the NDP paradigm. Entrusting the stewardship of the B.C. economy to the NDP is the formula for becoming a have-not province again. Although just before the election campaign
began, the party was forthright in laying out its platform with its intentions to tax and spend, and to run budget deficits. This has been followed up by daily campaign trail promises to pilfer more and more hard-earned money from the people’s pockets. Hopefully, the center-right coalition can get its act together more quickly this time around and the NDP’s term and damage can be limited to four years. The elite of the B.C. business community and the power brokers of the BC Liberal Party that installed Christy Clark are well positioned to endure an NDP government, but the average citizens of B.C. are not.

CFSEU unveils profile of murder victims, warning signs for parents Jeff NAGEL
SEW
OUTDOOR FABRICS
Anti-gang police publish first community report B.C.’s anti-gang police unit is taking a step out of the shadows and into the spotlight. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) is the integrated team of 400 officers and civilians from 14 different agencies, including RCMP and municipal police forces, that disrupt and suppress organized crime around the province. Their investigations have cracked big cases, such as the discovery of an audacious crossborder drug-smuggling tunnel in Aldergrove and the unraveling of a massive international money-laundering ring. The CFSEU is now out to capture a bigger public profile with the publication of its first-ever Community Report. The report can be read online at bc-antigang.com. Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said the aim is to make more people aware of the CFSEU and what it does. The initiative comes as the anti-gang force
The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit has created a special report on what the anti-gang force does.
chalks up a major win – the arrest in February of three men in the murder of notorious gangster Jonathan Bacon, who was shot with four associates in 2011 outside a Kelowna casino. “Some people never thought that day would ever come,” Houghton said. “Or that the police would ever take something like that seriously. That was one
of the watershed moments in the history of Kelowna.” Houghton said the report pulls together a broader picture of the CFSEU’s work than people see in daily news media coverage. “It seems like every couple of weeks or month we’ve got an interesting story to tell and this was one way for us to tell it,” he said. The report includes

stories of officers tracking members of the Dhak/Duhre crime group who make up one side of the ongoing bloody gang conflict in B.C. And it also releases intriguing findings on who is most likely to end up a victim of the gang violence that occasionally erupts in B.C. CFSEU researchers found the vast majority of gang-related murder victims over a fouryear period had previous drug charges or convictions, and often violent criminal pasts. Most were gang members, not just associates or minor players in the drug trade, and a few were girlfriends or an innocent victim, like a man who was shot after picking up a Bacon brother vehicle to install a car stereo in it. B.C. gang-related killings peaked at 36 in 2009 before dropping to 18 last year. Victims are overwhelmingly men and their average age is 30, according to CFSEU stats. Three-quarters of bodies are found near the victims’ homes or vehicles. Most (85 per cent) were shot, but eight per cent were viciously beaten, six per cent were stabbed and one victim was burned to death. Also included are key risk factors for ending up in a gang and tips for parents on spotting potential signs of gang involvement. The report details how police try to keep gangsters out of bars and restaurants to keep them from recruiting new blood, as well as to prevent gang violence. This month the CFSEU said it will publicly identify suspected gangsters where possible as a new tactic to make it more difficult for organized crime to operate. After a gang-related shooting outside a gym in South Surrey, senior officers are also pledging backup for businesses that make gangsters feel unwelcome in their premises.

Like many kids their age, the students in Andrea Wildeman’s Grade 5 and 6 class at Aberdeen Elementary are constantly on the move – or would like to be. And in her classroom, they can do that while sitting at their desks, bouncing on the balls they use as chairs. The consistent bobbing in her classroom is not a sign of disorder – Wildeman is convinced it’s the key to her students’ focus. Wildeman’s students don’t spend much of their day on regular school chairs – they sit on WittFitt stability balls. The large, inflatable balls are designed specifically for the classroom and intended to allow kids to focus while giving them the freedom to move. The balls – which have small legs to aid in stability – allow users to gently bounce in their seat, which is intended to help students who struggle to sit still. The balls require a degree of attention and

core strength to stay stable, which can help students who may be inactive, have poor muscle tone or even bad posture. Though she said it takes some getting used to, the balls have greatly improved the focus of her students. “You can see the difference in how they have to put their feet flat on the floor and how they have to sit up straight to keep
that ball underneath them.” Wildeman’s students also like it. They sit happily, some balanced and still, while others bounce away as they work. It’s an idea that Wildeman said she has been wanting to try for about 10 years. She got serious about introducing the chairs this year because of her active class of 16 boys and nine girls.
The students in her class are diverse and have different needs, including students with learning issues and a variety of energy levels. Wildeman said the chairs have a variety of benefits for the children’s different needs, but the main one is keeping them seated and focused on their schoolwork. “You say, ‘I want you to sit down, and I want you to do work for a long

time,’ well, that’s not possible for a lot of kids.” Students had to get parental permission to use the balls – every parent in her class signed without hesitation – and the students took some training, including a written test to make sure they understood exactly what the balls were for and why they were using them. The use of the balls isn’t mandatory, as students can use a chair if they wish. Wildeman said it took a bit of time for students to work up to sitting on them all day, but now most use them throughout the day. Wildeman and her teaching assistant both use them as well, which Wildeman said allows her to sit for longer while typing report cards. She said other teachers have been interested in the project, though some have joked that they might find watching the constant movement nauseating. With students ranging in height from four foot two to five foot eight, the ball chairs can be inflated higher or lower so each student can sit at the right level for their desk. Wildeman said student’s penmanship has even improved because of the more custom fit. Most of all, she’s happy to see her students enthusiastic about something that benefits learning. “The fact that they come in and they want to sit down… that is something I’ve never seen before.”

Candidates sound off on blueberry cannon issue
Blueberry cannons have been a controversial topic for years. Complaints about the noise made by the devices, designed to scare birds away from crops, have become more frequent as more people move close to rural areas. Abbotsford council has been debating the possibility of tightening restrictions on use. However, some believe a full ban is needed. Any decision on restrictions made by council would have to be approved by the provincial government. The News asked
Abbotsford’s provincial candidates if they support a ban on blueberry cannons. Here’s how they responded:
Abbotsford South
Darryl Plecas (Liberal) gave a “qualified no,� adding new technology will likely be found to eventually replace the cannons. Lakhvinder Jhaj (NDP) issued a written response that her party will “renew support for agriculture,� but also appreciates that this must be done with respect for the community as a whole.

port a total ban, but thinks use should be limited. Paul Redekopp (Conservative) believes the municipality should have the power to create a bylaw to restrict usage.
Abbotsford-Mission
Simon Gibson (Liberal) does not support a ban, preferring a cooperative resolution between residents, farmers and the government.
Preet Rai (NDP) said the NDP would work with municipalities to ensure farming practices work for both farmers and the community. Aird Flavelle (Green) said he is in favour of the responsible use of propane cannons. Don Stahl (Conservative) believes cannons should only be used on blueberry fields that are
not near residential areas. Wendy Bayles (independent) said she’d like to see a referendum on the issue, adding there are other ways to deal with the problem. Marcus Halliday (Excalibur) does not support a ban, preferring restrictions and penalties. Roman Bojczuk (independent) supports a ban.

Nicholas Foster has been growing his hair since September, and will have it shaved off on May 24 to raise funds for a children’s home and school in Haiti.
Shaving head for H2H Fundraiser for children’s home in Haiti A Grade 5 student of MEI Elementary in Abbotsford will shave his head on May 24 to raise funds for a children’s home and school in Haiti. Nicholas Foster has been growing his hair since Sept. 2, and so far has raised more than $2,000 for the cause. MEI Elementary holds a fundraiser every spring in support of Heart to Heart (H2H). These activities include things such as running events and silent auctions. Last summer, Nicholas decided he wanted to do something more, and he informed his parents of his plan. “Being in Grade 5, this is his last year to support H2H in the elementary school, and he
wanted to end it in a great way,” said his mom Diane. Funds being raised this year for H2H will go toward walls and a roof for new classrooms on the second floor, a new concrete roof for the schoolyard bathroom, musical instruments, construction of a second-floor kitchen for the guest house, a new generator and more. The website for the orphanage is hearttohearthaiti.com. For more information about donating to Nicholas’s cause (cheques should be made out to “Heart to Heart”), send an email to mdfoster@telus.net. To donate to Hearth 2 Heart through the school, call 604-8593700 or email info@meischools. com.

ACS students build relationships
Abbotsford Christian School has an ongoing relationship with a partner school in Managua, Nicaragua. Edu Deo’s (a Canadian Christian mission organization) School2School Program has linked ACS to Centro De Fe Vida Nueva (Centre of Faith and New Life) encouraging international relationships based on mutual trust to deepen the understanding of schools around the world. The purpose of this program is to learn about the culture, history, and the way of life in a “majority world” country. By identifying and accepting
differences and similarities, students build relationships based on sharing and collaborating. ACS students also teamed up with Centro De Fe students to help paint an existing school in Managua during the recent trip. “It is an expression of love that we can serve together to build schools in a country which needs quality education so desperately. Our students found transformation in this experiential learning adventure,” said Christine Bomhof, ACS’ admissions and community relations coordinator.

MCC sets new target for Syria crisis campaign
Abbotsford News Thursday, May 2, 2013
Walid Dabbous (left), a Syrian refugee now living in Sidon, Lebanon, talks with Don Peters, executive director of MCC Canada, and Ali Jammoul, a worker with DPNA (Development for People and Nature Association). MCC is working with DPNA on conflict prevention and recreation activities for children in refugee settlements in Lebanon.
The executive director of Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) Canada says the civil war in Syria is likely to worsen and more must be done for the people affected by the conflict. Don Peters recently visited Lebanon, where up to one
million Syrian refugees are living in desperate need of shelter, food and medical assistance. MCC began its Syria crisis campaign last year with an initial goal of $500,000. The total has now surpassed $1 million. Peters is calling on MCC

supporters, and all Canadians, to help MCC meet the new goal of $1.5 million. “There is much, much more work to be done. This is an ongoing disaster. The United Nations agencies haven’t yet kicked in with the amount of assistance that these people need. And other agencies, such as MCC, are going to have to continue their support,” he said. To date, MCC has dedicated more than $4 million to programs in Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. That includes cash contributions, as well as material resources such as blankets, relief kits, clothing and footwear. Here in B.C., nearly $55,000 has already been donated for MCC’s work in the region. The situation in Syria and its impact on neighbouring countries changes almost daily, so MCC staff and partners are constantly monitor-

ing the needs. That people are desperate for help is obvious. “Our partners are counting on us to help at this critical time and we need your help to increase our support,” says Phil Schafran, MCC B.C. Director of Donor Relations and C o m m u n i c a t i o n s. “Let’s also continue to pray for an end to the conflict and a lasting peace for the region.” Peters says his trip gave him a new appreciation of the value of the material aid given and the peace-building programs that are already in place. He had a unique opportunity to meet with church leaders and other partners from Syria, who were able to travel to Lebanon for a few days. Peters says they are courageous people, working in risky and difficult conditions. “What really struck me was that maybe half of the people we met were themselves displaced from their homes. And yet they are still caregivers for others. They said this is our situation now and this is what we need to do. Their dignity and poise is remarkable.” It’s estimated that more than 70,000 people have died in the ongoing conflict. More than three million are displaced, either within Syria or to neighbouring countries. Those wishing to support this relief effort can do so by sending a cheque made out to MCC BC and marked for Middle East Response, to Box 2038, 31414 Marshall Road, Abbotsford, BC V2T 3T8.

Students emulate task of Ethiopian girls
Twenty-eight MEI students took part in an empathy walk for water last Saturday. The students hiked from their campus to Mill Lake with jerry cans, filled them, and then carried them back to the school to emulate what young Ethiopian girls go through every day when walking to fetch water for their families. The students came up with the idea last year after learning about the girls’ plight through Abbotsford’s Run for Water. “I heard about the students who did the walk last year, and I thought it wouldn’t be so bad,� said Grade 11 student Mike Peters. “They said it was so hard, and I thought, you whiners! It will be fun. But I was wrong. I started to hate water halfway through. It was so hard. Here I am, an 18-year-old healthy boy struggling to carry this water and little 12-year-old girls do this every day. It is tragic.� He went on to explain the group relied on singing songs to help pass the time. “You are constantly changing positions, and by the end of the walk you have tried every possible way to hold the jerry can,� said Chelsea Pedersen, also in Grade 11. “You
never fully understand it until you do it.� This year’s empathy walk had an even deeper meaning for Grade 10 student Indiana Letkemann, who had the opportunity to actually walk for water in Ethiopia with her family on spring break. “(In Ethiopia) we walked two kilometres with the full jerry cans, which were about 44 pounds,� she explained. “The girls there gave us ropes to tie the jerry cans onto our backs. Within the first few metres the ropes were cutting into my back so much I had to take them off and try to carry the jerry can the rest of the way. “I made it, but it was one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life, and the water was so brown and full of disease that we would never drink it here.� This year’s Run For Water – which includes a five- or 10-kilometre run, half or full marathon – takes place in Abbotsford on May 26. The event started in 2008 as a way to raise funds to provide clean water for people in the developing world. More than 4,200 runners took part last year.

The only thoughts that crossed my mind on the first day in Canada was why I chose to immigrate, knowing well that integration at my age will be not only be difficult but also psychologically stressful. What kept me going were the people whom I met while struggling to get a foothold both in the society and for work. They were angels. It seemed that God had descended on Earth to help me

(ACS). I have seen Pat Christie with three different pairs of eyes. First as a newcomer, the second as a struggler and the third as one who became a friend. Pat is down to earth, explains realities of the struggle in life and walks the talk. It was Pat who referred me to Satwinder Bains. After our meeting, her comment was, “it seems, I have known you for ages.” I was instantly at home, comfortable that this individual had time for newcomers and seriously meant to guide. She reinforced the belief that volunteering not only helps gain knowledge, skills and connections, it also educates another facet of life where one learns what others go through to succeed. Mitu took me to one of her contacts in June 2012 and got me introduced to Brenda Hadwin. She works as one of the senior leaders for a retail giant. We interacted for a while and all that was put to her was that I be given a chance. I have since then risen in my profile in the organization and come to know Brenda well. I learn from her all the time. There were others, too. In time I will share their contributions to society, people and new immigrants and my life. Today when I look back, I smile, as without these ladies my time would not have come. To all newcomers, it should be known that if you are skilled, there is a job for you and your time will come. Find that angel of your life. There are many in this city working tirelessly to bring a smile on the faces of those who need them. May you get an angel to hold your hand and guide you. Now a resident of Abbotsford, Ajit Sinha has specialized in human resources. He is a military veteran, and is in his third career. His love for culture and challenges has brought him to Canada.

Construction investment down, but outlook still positive Non-residential construction investment in the Abbotsford census metropolitan area saw a decline in the first quarter of 2013,
according to the Vancouver Regional Construction Association’s (VRCA) analysis of Statistics Canada’s Investment in Non-
Residential Building Construction report. “Total non-residential building construction spending in the first quarter of 2013 was down
in Abbotsford,” said Jan Robinson, interim president of the Vancouver Regional Construction Association. “While there was
a bump in public spending, spending on industrial buildings remains at a low level, and commercial spending continues to trend
down with no major proposed projects showing for the area to replace the large Mt. Lehman project (the Highstreet shopping centre).

Robinson said the 2013 outlook is generally positive, but dependent on improving economic and market conditions, with public spending looking to rise, commercial spending likely to fall, while the industrial sector looks to be range-bound in 2013. Total non-residential building construction investment spending in Abbotsford dropped 8.3 per cent to $43.6 million (seasonally adjusted) in the first quarter of 2013, compared to $47.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Commercial construction investment dropped 19.3 per cent to $22.7 million, while institutional-government spending was up 13.5 per cent to $16.8 million. Industrial building investment slid 11.2 per cent lower to $4.0 million. Metro Vancouver saw a four per cent rise in total nonresidential building construction investment in the first quarter of 2013 to $885 million seasonally adjusted, from $851.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Trailer could lead to fame Local actress hoping Bad is good for her career
Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
A local actress is hoping the trailer for a yet-to-be-made film might lead her on to bigger and better things. Abbotsford’s Avery Konrad is one of two featured performers in the trailer Bad,
part of an online, cross-Canada movie competition put on by Cinecoup. Local filmmakers created a twominute trailer based on one of their own movie ideas. Entries are featured on the Cinecoup website and voted on via the
website, Facebook or Twitter. More than 500 submissions were received. Organizers narrowed it down to the top 100, then voters shortened the list to the top 60, then 40. Bad has made it to the top 40. The top 15 were

scheduled to be announced sometime yesterday. “I think we have a good chance of making it,” said Konrad. The top 10 go to a film market in Cannes. The final winner receives up to $1 million to make the movie plus guaranteed distribution. For Konrad, being part of a film could be a huge step forward in her career. “I’ve always been performing,” said Konrad. She’s already done several television programs, including The Haunting Hour and Falling Skies. But Bad could be the biggest thing she’s ever done. Bad is a brother/ sister story about struggling siblings who, in need of cash, slowly turn to crime, leading ultimately to drug smuggling and worse. The trailer was shot in Vancouver and the surrounding area. Konrad plays the sister while Matty Finochio, from Hamilton, plays the brother. He was in Abbotsford last week, working on a new Hallmark movie called Garage Sale Mysteries, which just wrapped up filming in town. To see the Bad trailer, visit cinecoup.com/bad.

The 10 authors of the best-selling Mennonite Girls Can Cook book will be signing their new book Celebrations at the House of James, 2743 Emerson St. Abbotsford, on Friday, May 3 from 7-9 p.m. The first cookbook has been a smashing success and has sold more than 30,000 copies so far, with all author royalties going to feed hungry children. Three years ago Lovella Schellenberg started a blog and invited others to participate. Eventually 10 ladies, seven from the Abbotsford-Chilliwack area, joined to regularly contribute. The recipes on the blog range widely, from appetizers to casseroles, desserts, dips and sauces, gluten free, meat and poultry and traditional Mennonite fare, all artistically photographed and pleasantly presented. “Our goal was to make something simple, but that displayed the food beautifully, with photos and good instructions,” Schellenberg said. In addition to sharing good food and recipes, the women used it to raise money for Mennonite Central Committee. “Right from the start, we agreed that we would never take any money for ourselves from the blog. The only goal was to share recipes, have fun, and use any money we made to help hungry people.” As the blog grew in popularity, they started getting requests for a published cookbook. That wasn’t in the plans, but the group was open to it. The second book Celebrations is lavishly illustrated with recipes that celebrate the many special events of life including birth, marriage, family vacations, holidays, and end of life milestones. It also includes personal stories and inspirational reflections. Some of the featured pastries from the new book will be available in the coffeehouse that night and a reading will take place at 7:30 p.m.

Five trombones, one concert
Strong Economy Secure Tomorrow
Special guest I Tromboni performs at season finale
The regular season series of the Valley Concert Society comes to a close on Friday, May 3, with a concert that has special written all over it as I Tromboni is set to perform. I Tromboni is a great combination, with the lush tones of five trombones. The program has something for every taste from Johannes Brahms to Hoagy Carmichael, from the Russian classics of Mussorgsky to the classic James Bond theme song From Russia With Love, from the sentimen-

tal strains recorded by the Tommy Dorsey band to the sublime O Magnum Mysterium by Lauridsen. Many of the works to be performed have been arranged by members of the ensemble, a fact clearly necessitated by the lack of composers who wrote pieces for five trombones. The trombonists hail from all across our country, bookended by Andrew Poirier from Newfoundland and Neal Bennett from Langley. At the show, the Valley Concert Society will also present this year’s winners
of its two annual bursaries. This great evening of entertainment begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, 32315 South Fraser Way. While at the concert, the public can purchase tickets for the society’s 30th Anniversary Celebration concert with Ben Heppner on May 27. This will be a rare opportunity to hear a great Canadian tenor in Abbotsford. For more information on the society, visit the website at valleyconcertsociety. com.

You could forgive Yale Lions senior boys rugby coach Doug Primrose if he didn’t know whether to celebrate or mourn in the aftermath of his team’s bronze medal performance at the B.C. high school sevens tournament on the weekend at UBC. On one hand, the Lions registered the first podium finish by an Abbotsford school at the provincial sevens event since 2000, when the Robert Bateman Timberwolves took silver. The downside was, star scrum half Spencer Miller was knocked out of Yale’s semifinal defeat to eventual champion St. George’s of Vancouver, and it was later discovered that he’d broken his jaw in two places. Miller, a member of B.C.’s championship-winning U18

sides at the prestigious Hong Kong International Sevens tournament each of the past two years, will be sidelined for the balance of the high school rugby season. His absence will surely affect a Lions team which is on pace for the greatest 15’s season in school history – they’re currently ranked No. 3 among AAA teams in B.C. “ I t ’ s a big loss, but we’re pretty solid all around and we’ve got a lot of depth,” Primrose said. “We always know there are going to be injury issues during the season, and we’re still really confident with our team.” Indeed, Yale’s collective performance on the weekend was impressive. They cruised through pool play with three straight wins, out-scoring opponents 109-10 along the way,

then beat Elgin Park 32-12 in the quarter-finals. The Lions fell 19-0 to St. George’s in the semis, but bounced back to beat Kelowna 29-12 to clinch the bronze. Daniel Davidson was Yale’s top try scorer on the weekend, and other standouts included Spencer Loughlin and Surge Francis. “I think we got a dose of confidence,” Primrose said. “The guys realize now that they’re one of the elite teams in the province, and they can beat anyone on any given day.” In other senior boys sevens action, Bateman lost all three of its pool-play games, but battled their way to the Bowl final, where they fell 43-5 to St. Michael’s University. On the girls’ side, the Abbotsford Senior Panthers made a valiant defence of the sevens championship they

The Canadian Mixed Curling Championships at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre last year featured high-profile rinks like the Colleen Jones foursome from Nova Scotia. The city will host another big event this fall – The Masters, a Grand Slam of Curling spiel.
AESC to host major curling event
The Masters will feature $200,000 prize purse Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
Big-time curling is returning to Abbotsford this fall. The Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre has been awarded hosting rights for The Masters Grand Slam of Curling, Oct. 30 to Nov. 3. The five-day international event – part of the Sportsnetowned Grand Slam series – will feature 30 men’s and women’s teams competing for a combined purse of $200,000. “We’re very excited about it,” said Jason Blumenfeld, general manager of the AESC. “It’s something we’ve been working on for a couple years now. It’s been held in other Global Spectrum buildings in Canada, and it’s done very well.” The Fraser Valley/ Lower Mainland region isn’t necessarily known as a curling hotbed, at least when compared to the Prairie provinces, where the sport is truly embedded in the culture. But Abbotsford has a rich history of hosting major curling events. The city has hosted national championships, including the 2003 Canadian Mixed and the 2012 Canadian Seniors, and has been home to big-time cashspiels in the past, including the Wayden Transportation Ladies Classic, a
former Grand Slam event from 2000 to 2008. Blumenfeld said that with the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, on the horizon, interest in curling will be heightened when the
Masters arrives in town this fall. The exposure on Sportsnet should also help draw fans. “We’re going to have some of the top teams who have already qualified for the Olympics who will be
performing,” he said. “Not only will you have the best Canadian athletes here, but you’ll have international athletes as well. Also, we’re working really closely Continued on A32

Ross honoured by Rugby Canada Abbotsford’s Jen Ross was recognized as the 2012 Canadian female coach of the year at the inaugural Rugby Canada awards dinner earlier this month. A former national team player, Ross has volunteered hundreds of hours to help develop girls rugby in the Fraser Valley. At the club level, she has been instrumental in running Abbotsford’s U18 women’s program. Abby won the 2011 provincial club title and successfully defended their championship this past fall against Bayside. At the representative rugby level, Ross helped field two teams in both the B.C. Summer Games and U18 Provincial Regional Championships in 2012. Under Ross’s guidance, both Fraser Valley women’s sevena-side teams qualified for the B.C. Summer Games final and finished with the silver and gold medals. Ross was equally successful with her 15-a-side program as her U18 women repeated as B2Gold Provincial Regional Championship winners in July. During the high school season, Ross coaches the Robert Bateman Timberwolves girls.

Olympians impress at UBC meet Q The Abbotsford Olympians swim club turned in a series of sparkling results at the Mies Shootman Invitational at UBC earlier this month. The meet featured a AA time entry standard, and the Olympians sent seven qualified swimmers, the most in club history. All seven – Tavleen Grewal, McKenna Postles, Tobyn Smith, Hannah Weinkauf, Ryan Han, James Lee and Sam Lee – registered 100 per cent personal best times and set new club records. Smith, Grewal, Postles and Weinkauf have also cracked the top 50 in the national power rankings list in various events in their respective age categories. Q Eight players from Abbotsford were selected to participate in the B.C. Cup U16
Sports in Brief boys hockey tournament in Salmon Arm earlier this month. Forwards Brett Clayton, Benjamin Brar, Kohen Olischefski and Karamdev Grewal, and defencemen Nolan Ferguson, Tyler Wickman, Marshall Skapski and Cody Paivarinta were picked for the event, which divided players from across the province into eight teams. Wickman and Brar helped Team Canucks to the final, where they fell 4-3 in a shootout to Team Flyers. Q Abbotsford’s Magnuson Ford women’s soccer team was shorthanded for their Provincial B Cup semifinal last Sunday at Victoria, but turned in a gritty
effort nevertheless in a 1-0 extra-time loss. Due to work commitments, the Mariners only had 10 players available for their match vs. Gorge FC, a team which had lost just one game all season. But the local squad pushed the Victoria club to the limit, outshooting and outchancing the hosts, only to find themselves locked in a scoreless tie through 90 minutes. Gorge FC finally broke through in the 99th minute, squeezing a shot past Mariners keeper Karlee Arden and hanging on for the win. “We’re gutted,� said John Werrell, who coaches the team along with Mike Leclerc. “This will sting us all for a while,
but I’m so proud of all 10 of those ladies today. They left it all on the field.� Q A trio of athletes from Abbotsford’s Genesis Martial Arts and Fitness brought home medals from the Pacific Northwest Regional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championships in Vancouver, Wash. last weekend. Jason Gagnon, head coach of the local club, led the way, dominating the brown belt featherweight division en route to a gold medal. Assistant coach Jason Rueck dropped a narrow decision in the blue belt featherweight final and took silver, while Raul Hernandez earned bronze in the white belt heavyweight class. The championship featured athletes from Washington, Idaho, Oregon and B.C.

Ten years ago, I decided to have a dental implant rather than a bridge. Bridges can be hard to clean and can break down over time. I made an appointment with Dr. Lui and found the implant procedure virtually painless. My dental implant was problem free so, five years later, I had another implant placed by Dr. Lui.

and two teams from Abbotsford rounded out the tourney. Shawn Fevens, the manager of sport for Special Olympics BC, said the event was a strong “early-bird opportunity for teams starting the season and wanting to get a competition under their belts,” as well
as additional preparation for teams gearing up to play in the 2013 SOBC Summer Games in Langley. Magnuson Ford Mariners FC has a partnership with Abbotsford’s Special O branch, offering technical support to help coach and program development.

won in 2012, but fell just shy of the podium. The Panthers went 3-0 in pool play and blanked Carson Graham of North Vancouver 21-0 in the quarters. They suffered a heartbreaking loss to eventual champ Cowichan in the semis, though. Abby led 12-5 in the late going, but Cowichan scored a try and a convert with one minute remaining in regulation and went on to prevail 17-12 in sudden death OT. In the bronze medal game, Shawnigan Lake denied the Panthers by a score of 22-12, despite tries from Gurpreet Dhaliwal and Minnie Inthapanya. “We’re really, really proud of the girls,” said Peter Cannon, who coaches the Abby squad with Stephanie Doan and Matt Myers. “We just ran out of gas against Shawnigan Lake. You could see the effort they were putting out and how hard they were trying, but the tank was empty. We were happy with the performance, even though we were disappointed we didn’t win the championship.” Bateman and Hansen were also in action on the girls’ side, but their runs at the tourney came to an end in the Plate and Shield quarter-finals, respectively.

WHO? PETE SCHOFIELD, a runner since 2007. He is a new grandpa, salesman at Abbotsford Tool Centre and an ultra-marathoner.
WHAT? Running 5K, 10K, half marathon the week of the Run for Water, the ultramarathon (56 kilometres) on May 25, and the marathon on May 26; 136 K in one week.
WHY? “Because I can. Last year after the ultra I realized the only limitations we have are the ones that are in our minds. The Run for Water weekend is just one way to push beyond those limitations. It is a means to bring water to thousands of people who need it. The fundraising can scare people, but I see it just as I do my running; limitations are only mental!”

Or they will even come in with pictures of the kind of effect they want to achieve. Then, we have a look at the SAN JUAN spa lineup, and choose a model that best suits their needs. We then get to work, ordering their spa from the factory, outfitting it with the features that they want, and installing it in conjunction with the owners or their landscape contractor.

ERICKSON, Walter Dwayne Dec 28, 1937 - April 22, 2013 Dwayne passed away in Calgary, Alberta on April 22, 2013 at the age of 75. He was predeceased by his mother and father, Frank William Erickson (Legion Motors Ltd.) and Lela Lorraine Hester and by his sister Elaine. Born in Chilliwack B.C., he grew up in Mission City, B.C. While in school, he started his journalism career at the Fraser Valley Record before going to the University of British Columbia, followed by career stops in Penticton, Prince George, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Calgary. The Edmonton Journal hired him in September of 1957 and the following spring he was assigned to cover his first professional Rodeo. Dwayne was immediately attracted to the cowboy lifestyle; Rodeo became his sport of choice. He has written about Rodeo every year since except from 1974 through 1978 when he served as manager of media relations for Edmonton’s Commonwealth games organizing committee, which included writing a book on this event. Dwayne covered every Canadian Finals Rodeo since 1979, every Calgary Stampede since 1982 and every National Finals Rodeo at Las Vegas since 1985 during his journalistic career of 50 years. Dwayne was honored as a Pioneer of Rodeo by the Calgary Stampede in 1997 and was inducted into the Canadian Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 2003. In 2008, he was inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame & Museum. Dwayne was a member of the Canadian Professional Rodeo Hall of Fame, a Calgary Stampede Pioneer of Rodeo, and, in December 2012 became a two-time winner of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Media Award for Excellence in Print Journalism. His passion to report the stories of Rodeo life in North American continued until his passing. The Rodeo participants, officials and families were so important to him. Dwayne is remembered by his brother Wayne, sister Shirley, daughters Laurie, Dawn, Ronnell, Mardene, son Shane and numerous grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Relatives and friends are invited to a get-together in Memory of Dwayne at 11am on Wed, May 15th at Rotary House, Stampede Park, Calgary, Alta.

KROEKER, David David Kroeker passed into the presence of his beloved Lord and Saviour on April 28th, 2013 in Abbotsford B.C. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Marilyn, his 4 children: Vance (Deborah), Brian (Mary), Becky (Joseph) and Colin (Jody) as well as 10 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren,5 siblings and numerous nieces and nephews. Dave was born in Saskatchewan in 1931 and moved to B.C. as a young man. Here he met his sweetheart Marilyn and they were wed in 1957. Dave worked several jobs before following his true calling to become a Pastor. He attended Trinity Western College and Miller Memorial Bible Institute and became a church-planter for the Evangelical Free Church of Canada. With God’s grace and help he pastored a small church in Blue River B.C. before planting and building a new church in Ashcroft B.C. He remained as the pastor in Ashcroft for 9 years. Following a serious brain injury, Dave retired from pastoring and moved with his family to Abbotsford where he worked part time at Trinity Western University for 12 years. In 1991 Dave and Marilyn retired to the Okanagan where Dave loved to be in his workshop creating lasting treasures for his family and friends. He took great pride in all he did. In 1999, Dave and Marilyn returned to the Fraser Valley, living 5 years in Agassiz and then finally back to Abbotsford. Dave was a devoted husband, father and grandfather and loved nothing more than being with his family. He was also devoted to his Heavenly Father and spent many hours reading scripture and praying for his loved ones. All who knew him spoke of his tremendous kindness, his gentle spirit, his loving heart and his big strong hands. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends but it is with a peace that passes understanding that we can smile knowing that he is with his Lord. We look forward to being with him again one day. As a family, we want to extend our sincere thanks to the incredible ICU staff at Abbotsford Regional Hospital as well as to Dr. Ken Dueck for his faithful and compassionate care. A Memorial Service for Dave will be held on May 6th at 2:30pm at Heritage Alliance Church on Mt. Lehman Road in Abbotsford.
