Guilty verdict in Surrey Six killings ‘It’s a beautiful day,’ says mom of innocent victim Sheila REYNOLDS
REAL VS. STAGED
Black Press
Applause erupted in a Vancouver courtroom Thursday morning as a judge found two men guilty of planning and carrying out the execution of six men in a Surrey apartment seven years ago. Cody Haevischer and Matt Johnston were convicted by Justice Catherine Wedge in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver of conspiracy to murder drug dealer Corey Lal and of the first-degree murder of Lal, his brother Michael, Eddie Narong, Ryan Bartolomeo and innocent victims Ed Schellenberg of Abbotsford and Christopher Mohan of Surrey. Mohan’s mom Eileen Mohan – who attended most of the trial since it began last fall – was all smiles following the guilty decisions. “It’s a beautiful day,” she said. “It’s a beautiful day for Christopher. “I’ve been waiting for seven years for this day and it has come. I am relieved and I know that my son is smiling down today.” Mohan, 22, lived with his mom in a Whalley apartment unit next to the one where the murders occurred on Oct. 19, 2007. He was headed out to a basketball game with friends when SCHELLENBERG he was pulled into the death suite. Schellenberg was a gas fitter who happened to be servicing fireplaces in the Balmoral Tower building that day. The other four young men had links to the drug trade and were visiting apartment 1505, where drugs were manufactured and packaged for sale on the street. Schellenberg’s wife Lois, as well as family and friends, attended court Thursday, but did not speak to media. The trial began last September, calling 73 witnesses over 80 days of testimony. The Crown’s theory was that Haevischer, Johnston and a man who can only be identified as Person X – all Red Scorpion gang members – carried out the murders, prompted by notorious gangster Jamie Bacon of Abbotsford, who wanted rival drug dealer Corey Lal dead. The other five, the Crown Continued on A6

said, were shot to death to eliminate any possible witnesses. Wedge said she accepted beyond a reasonable doubt that both men conspired to kill Corey Lal and carried out the murder. She said though they might not have shown up at the apartment to kill the other five men, that’s what happened. She said Haevischer, Johnston and the third man were in the suite for 15 minutes before they killed all six. They divided the six into two groups of three and shot them “carefully and with precision,� while they lay face down on the floor. Michael Le initially went on trial with Haevischer and Johnston, but entered a surprise guilty plea to the conspiracy charge in November and then became a star witness for the Crown. In her decision, Wedge said she didn’t buy the testimony of Le as it was tainted by the fact he had a plea deal with the Crown. The trial opened last year with graphic photos of the crime scene showing the victims lying dead with hoods over their heads. During emotional testimony, the former manager of the apartment building recounted looking for Schellenberg and entering suite 1505 to find six bodies on the bloodied floor. Crown prosecutor Mark Levitz thanked the victims’ families, police and media after the guilty decisions. Haevischer and Johnston have filed an “abuse of process� application with the courts, but the Crown declined to comment on that. Person X pleaded guilty in 2009 to three counts of second-degree murder in connection to the slaughter. Bacon is slated to be tried separately in May on one count each of conspiracy to commit murder and the first-degree murder of Lal. He was living in Abbotsford at the time of his arrest. Three new charges were also laid against Bacon in July in relation to an alleged plot to kill Person X. Another man, Sophon Sek, is also awaiting trial in the Surrey Six case, on a charge of manslaughter. The sentence for first-degree murder is a mandatory life sentence with no eligibility for parole for 25 years. – with files from Vikki Hopes

Former U.S. judge gets fine for smuggling Abbotsford News
A retired U.S. judge must pay a $2,500 fine after pleading guilty on Tuesday in Abbotsford provincial court to attempting to smuggle two loaded guns across the border into Canada. Markel Kay Chiles, 56, did not appear in court but was represented by his lawyer Richard Ballantyne, who presented a joint submission with Crown counsel Gerry Sair. Judge Steven Point was told that Chiles, a resident of Mesa, Arizona, arrived at the Huntingdon border crossing to enter Abbotsford from Sumas, Wash. on May 13, 2014. He was travelling in a motorhome, and he told a border services officer that his plan was to meet up with his wife and her parents in Alaska for an extended holiday. He suffered from anxiety and did not like
flying, Sair said. When Chiles was asked whether he was transporting any guns or ammunition, he said he was not, but then remembered he had a flare gun on him. This resulted in an inspection of his motorhome, during which officials found a small black metal box tucked under the passenger seat. The box contained a Bond Arms Texas Defender mutli-barreled handgun and a Cobra Enterprises .22 calibre handgun. Sair said Chiles told officers that he didn’t realize the guns were there, and the Texas Defender belonged to a friend of his with whom he had gone shooting about a year prior. The gun was shown to be registered in his friend’s name. Sair said Chiles indicated that the .22 calibre gun belonged to his son, to whom he had loaned his motorhome a few weeks prior.
Chiles was charged with seven offences, but pleaded guilty to smuggling goods into Canada and the unauthorized possession of a firearm. The other five similar charges were stayed. The two lawyers did not seek a weapons prohibition, with Sair saying that they do not have any concerns that Chiles will try to bring more guns into Canada. “I don’t think he wants to come back,” Sair said. Chiles made headlines in the U.S. after he was cited by police for shoplifting an iPod speaker from a Walmart store in March 2013. Ballantyne referred to this as “an unfortunate, embarrassing incident” that resulted in his client resigning from his judge’s position. Chiles was eventually fined $300 for the shoplifting offence. He had served as a judge in Mesa since his election in November 2006.

School board change needed As the election for Abbotsford School Board approaches in November, I would like to suggest that we start fresh with new candidates. I attended a board meeting in June and was appalled at the disrespect that was shown to the teachers by the board. Here is my Facebook post right after the meeting on June 18, 2014: Last night I attended the Abbotsford School Board meeting (in the middle of a volatile and chaotic strike/lockout situation). There was a large showing of teachers there, all very respectful and quiet. The meeting began with the chair saying there needed to be a change in the agenda so it was changed from the question time for questions about anything, to the questions only pertaining to the agenda. The meeting proceeded with a long discussion on the raises the board would receive starting in November after the election. However, each of the board expects to be re-elected. After enduring a very long meeting it was question time. The teachers worked to include their questions in the agenda. The chair announced that the question period would be 10 minutes long. There were four people who had questions, three were allowed to speak and the fourth was left standing there, ignored, as the chair closed the meeting. Folks, this is our school board! Do we want these people running our school system? I think not. In November it’s time for a change. It’s time for a change, it’s time that our school board is pro-teacher instead of progovernment, it’s time to stand up for what’s right, no matter whose toes are stepped on, and it’s time for a presence of the board in our schools.

We should not be bullied by this government but stand up for our children who are our future. If there are potential candidates out there, I encourage you to run for school board and be courageous against what is so obviously wrong for our families. It doesn’t cost anything to run, but at what cost are we letting the current board ruin our education system. Arlene Ambrose Abbotsford Mentoring him could be the start of something big – like a new

Public servants honoured Two Abbotsford teams among award recipients
Services, the Abbotsford school district and the Division of Family Practice. The centre opened in the fall of 2010 and offered services by one doctor for three hours a week. The program has expanded over three years to include several doctors, interns, residents and two nurse practitioners offering health-care services four days a week. The plant and animal health branch was recognized in the “organizational excellence” category for achieving improved financial sustainability, significant time savings and increased cost recovery. The branch consists of 50 veterinarians, technical and administrative staff, and is responsible for maintaining animal and plant health in the province and responding to critical disease outbreaks.
Two Abbotsford organizations and their employees have been recognized for developing new, more efficient ways of providing services to the community. The Abbotsford Youth Health Centre and the Ministry of Agriculture’s plant and animal health branch have received the Lower Mainland Premier’s Award. The award honours a total of 196 public-service employees and teams from the Lower Mainland who have made a difference in their communities. The Abbotsford Youth Health Centre was recognized in the “partnership” category for providing health services to high-risk youth. The team consists of the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Fraser Health, Abbotsford Community Services, Impact Drug and Alcohol

Incident prompts search
Police are still investigating some suspicious activity after a report from a witness who saw a girl picked up and carried away by a man on Tuesday night. A driver called police, saying around 6:20 p.m. he saw a girl in a pink jacket, six to 10 years old, lying on the side of the road near Enterprise Avenue and McCallum Road. A Caucasian man in his 40s with curly brown hair, a dark jean jacket and jeans, picked the girl up off the ground and carried her in the direction of a treed area. The driver was concerned the child didn’t appear to be moving. Officers searched the area, reviewed video and canvassed local schools. There are currently no children unaccounted for. MacDonald said other people saw the pair before the report and “the young girl appeared to be in good spirits.” Police are looking for more information. Call 604-859-5225 or text 222973 (abbypd).

Braun says he will release donation list before election Province requires disclosure 90 days after election Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
Coun. Henry Braun, who is running for the mayor’s seat in the Nov. 15 election, said he will release the names of donors and their donation amounts to his campaign one week before the election. “I think people have a right to know who is donating and in the amounts that they are donating.” Braun said that while the donations must be disclosed 90 days after the election, he thinks it should be done before, saying that in his opinion, when a donation gets to a certain amount there is a perception that “someone wants something in exchange. That is a bit problematic to me.”
e t a r b e l e C
He said “if we are really about open and transparent government, why wait until 90 days after the election?” Braun said transparency is a key element of both his election campaigns and that means giving the public information “and then they can make their own informed decisions.” Braun said he also plans to cap donations amounts to his campaign, likely at $2,500. He said if he gets a donation higher than that, he’ll send it back. He said that although he plans to release the donation details a week before on Nov. 8, if there are not too many donations after then he is willing to add those to the list as well. Mayor Bruce Banman said he is currently undecided on
whether he will do the same. He said donations could be coming in until the last week of the campaign. “It’s something I would have to think about whether it’s even feasible.” He said he fully plans to comply with all rules for disclosing the information after the election. In the 2011 municipal election, Braun and Banman were the only new faces elected to council. According to campaign disclosure documents filed at city hall, Banman won the mayor’s seat with a budget of $3,500 – with $3,277 in contributions. Braun spent just over $32,000 – mostly his own money – with $2,400 in contributions.

Ducks Unlimited Canada is a private, non-profit organization that conserves, restores and manages wetlands and associated habitats for waterfowl. These habitats also benefit other wildlife and people.
A CHARITY FUNDRAISING EVENT SUPPORTING WETLAND CONSERVATION
The results of an online survey will be compiled into the second Abbotsford Vital Signs Report, produced by the Abbotsford Community Foundation (ACF) in partnership with the Abbotsford News. Abbotsford residents were encouraged to take part in an online survey that is used to compile data on social and economic trends in the city. Last year’s report highlighted the ongoing struggle of low-income families and youth in the community. The report found a disparity between the annual living wage for a family of four with two parents working in the Fraser Valley of $59,569 and the amount two parents working fulltime earning the minimum wage would make, which is $37,310. Respondents were also asked about the most important issues facing Abbotsford today, with 18 per cent stating cost of living, 17 per cent citing employment opportunities, 10 per cent listing homelessness. When asked about the best thing about Abbotsford, 25 per cent said the natural environment, followed by sense of community with 16 per cent. The results of this year’s survey will be published in the Oct. 8 edition of the Abbotsford News.

FIREPREVENTIONWEEK

OCTOBER 5TH - 11TH, 2014
Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners recruit kids in fire safety program The Council of Canadian Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners (CCFMFC) together with the BC Office of the Fire Commissioner, have announced a major initiative tackling youth fire safety. The BC Fire Commissioner’s Office is working to arm teachers with unique lesson plans that encourage every Canadian household to test and replace their smoke alarms during the 92nd annual Fire Prevention Week. The Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners expect to engage thousands of primary-school teachers across Canada who will teach special lessons to upwards of 100,000 students as part of a broad scope of Fire Prevention Week activities under its theme “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!” Lesson plans, distributed by CCFMFC through Scholastic Canada, will be supported by the local efforts of fire departments and the campaign’s educational website safeathome.ca. Gordon Anderson, BC Fire Commissioner, says, “We’re thrilled to have the fire departments from all across BC involved. Fire
Departments and teachers have long had a special partnership that leaves a lasting impression on students, one that can prevent tragedies years down the road.” Duane McKay, president, CCFMFC says, “Fire safety programs that focus on our youth have a two-prong benefit. The lessons deliver the fire safety fundamentals that youngsters need to know to safely escape a burning home, and, the kids help motivate Moms and Dads to make smoke alarm maintenance and replacement a higher priority. “ ‘The potential benefits of a successful national outreach are enormous,” McKay adds. “In over one-half of fatal fires, investigators typically find no working smoke alarms.” Parents should watch for “Test and Replace” homework pages which include a home fire escape planning sheet and a safety checklist. Once completed, parents and youngsters can go online at safeathome.ca/testandreplace to register their home and download a certificate of completion for the child to take back to class. The complete homework kit is also available for download. Safeathome.ca also provides helpful tips for testing and maintaining smoke alarms, when to replace alarms, and where to install them.
Smoke alarms are required on every storey of the home and outside all sleeping areas. Carol Heller is a home safety expert with Kidde Canada, a CCFMFC partner. She says educational campaigns help correct widespread misconceptions about smoke alarms, in particular, that they can be installed and forgotten about and never need to be replaced. People also mistakenly believe, she says, that so long as a smoke alarm beeps when the test button is pushed, that the alarm if fully functioning. “Old habits can lead to a tragedy,” says Heller. “Testing smoke alarms should be done monthly and batteries should be replaced at least once annually, whether the alarm is battery powered or is hardwired with battery backup. And even if the alarm sounds when you push the test button, if it is more than 10 years old it must be replaced, as cooking residue and dust deteriorate the sensor over time. Outdated alarms might not provide the protection you count on.” New technology is easing the responsibility of the once-per-year battery replacement rule. “Worry-Free” smoke and carbon monoxide and combination smoke/CO alarms feature 10-year lithium batteries which never need to be changed and last the full life of
the alarm. More campaign details are available at www.safeathome.ca/testandreplace. The initiative continues throughout the month of October.

Program to air hospital suicide story
COME CELEBRATE DIWALI WITH US. CELEBRATION OF LIGHT
Ross Allan died in 2008 The story of a Mission family whose son’s 2008 suicide at MSA Hospital in Abbotsford became the subject of a coroner’s inquest will be aired this weekend on the investigative news program W5. The program airs Saturday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. on CTV. Lynn and Kim Allan will share the story of their son Ross, who suffered from schizophrenia and was thought to have walked away from the former MSA Hospital during a stay there in April 2008. Instead, the 22 year old was found to have hanged himself in a staff washroom at the hospital. An inquest into Ross’ death produced a record 43 recommendations from the jury. The W5 segment features interviews with the Allan family, as well as with Fraser Health and a former employee of the coroner’s office. A family from Ontario will also have their story featured on the program.

Many of the finest bulbs are overlooked by gardeners More than 116 million Dutch flower bulbs have now made their way into Canadian garden stores, import warehouses and greenhouse coolers. The high numbers may seem rather odd to the home gardener, but don’t forget, many, such as lilies, irises and freesias, are grown by greenhouse operators for cut flower production. It is, however, becoming more apparent to me each year that we are overlooking some of the very finest bulbs, and they are right under our noses. We tend to overemphasize tulips, daffodils and hyacinths in our gardens, while ignoring other bulbs which are actually better longterm investments. A visit to Keukenhof, Holland’s famous spring garden opened my eyes to the use of minor bulbs. Muscari (grape hyacinths) were used very effectively as borders, underplantings and as drifts of colour under trees and shrubs. For smaller pockets, you will be dazzled with many fabulous long-lasting perennial varieties like the white M. album, the soft blue ‘Valerie Finnis’, the bicolour M. latifolium and the feathery M. comosum ‘Plumosum’. Muscari are hardy in all zones and will tolerate little or no water in summer. This makes them ideal for planting under large trees where moisture is often a problem. They prefer full sun or partial shade. Crocus chrysanthus provide us with some of the most beautiful and interesting crocus colours. They naturalize well and thrive in sun or light shade. For a yearly
repeat performance, the earliest bulbs to bloom are the yellow aconites (Eranthis hyemalis) and beautiful snowdrops. Both perennialize nicely and create a more lovely display year after year. The yel-

Gardening lows and whites really pop in late winter, lifting our spirits and announcing that spring is
on its way! The old fashioned bluebells that so many European folks ask for are actually scillas or squills. All of them flower in clusters on leafless stalks and have either bell-shaped or star-like flowers. I
like them best planted in informal groupings among shrubs, deciduous trees or low-growing perennials. They are great in pots too and scillas make lovely cut flowers for tiny bouquets. The real sleeper in all the minor bulbs is Anemone blanda. These look for all the
world like miniature daisies, and I was absolutely in awe when I saw how they were being used in Keukenhof Gardens. The variety called ‘White Splendor’ was used in massive borders and underplantings with virtually every type of tulip and narcissus which blooms
during their long flowering period. Their white colour tended to lift all the other colours. There are still many of these great little minor bulbs we have yet to discover, but I suggest you give the ones I’ve mentioned a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Ward, Sward join forces Abbotsford connection to WHL’s Giants
Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
Welcome to the Vancouver Giants’ Ward-Sward era. That’s in reference to the Western Hockey League club’s new leadership tandem – a duo with unique Abbotsford connections. Troy Ward, former head coach of the now-defunct Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League from 2011-14, is embarking on his first season as Giants bench boss. He presided over a captaincy vote last week, and Abby native Dalton Sward – a 20-year-old centre – was chosen by his
teammates to wear the C. “I think that’s the biggest award you can get in sports,” Ward said, alluding to the honour of being voted into the top player leadership role by teammates. “He came out the winner unanimously. I think it speaks to the fact that he’s a leader on and off the ice. “It tells me a lot about Dalton, not only as a competitive guy but as a human being. Good for him.” Despite their significant ties to the Abbotsford hockey scene, Ward and Sward’s paths didn’t
2010. Ward is tasked with shepherding them back to those lofty heights. The early returns were solid – in Ward’s regularseason debut on Sept. 20, the Giants beat the Victoria Royals 3-1, outshooting them 45-12 along the way. Moving from Troy Ward pro hockey back to junior hasn’t been a departure of the leg- difficult adjustment endary Don Hay, for Ward.

Dodd – who faces the daunting task of replacing Maleek Irons, B.C. high school football’s most prolific rusher – rushed for 203 yards on 29 carries and accounted for all four Mouat touchdowns. He also registered seven tackles on defence. Hawks quarterback Noah Falconer completed seven of 10 throws for 73 yards. Elijah Falconer was the top receiver, making four catches for 42 yards.

The 2014 Abbotsford Harvest Fest kicks off this Saturday, promising an afternoon of fun and food from 3 to 7 p.m. Rain or shine, the event will include carnival games, candy-apple dipping, rain gutter boat races, barbecue and sweet treats, hourly prize draws, and contests, including a no-carve pumpkin decorating contest. “We’ve had an overwhelming response to the event so far,” said event producer Anita Manderson, who runs Your Pregnancy Options, a pregnancy support centre in Abbotsford. “We’re expecting a great turn out with lots of families – parents, children, grandparents – all taking time out to have fun together as we welcome fall.” Ron Goerz is the chair of the board for the event organizers. He sees the event as a chance to give back to the many people in Abbotsford who partner with the pregnancy centre in providing care to women facing unplanned pregnancies. “We are deeply grateful for the solid support of the many individuals, families, organizations and businesses who serve with us. We want to say thank you by providing an opportunity to celebrate together.” Numerous local businesses are sponsoring the event including Willowview Farms, the Apple Barn, Blackwood Building Centre, Consulting Resource Group, Seven Oaks Shopping Centre, the Abbotsford Lions Club and more. Although there is no admission fee, attendees are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to donate to Abbotsford Food Bank. Find out more at abbotsfordharvestfest.ca.

hard to beat. The engineers have done a great job of bringing the suspension into the modern world and the new EcoBoost engine will be very popular, once people try it. The old-school buyers will be attracted to the meaty V8 but often, sensible decisions prevail and the EcoBoost is a solid experience. The styling is stunning, inside and out. To be blunt, this car will be a homerun for Ford. There are two things I’d like to see improved. The seat back has no electric actuation, which means getting the right spot is hard to achieve. The second is the suspension in the GT can be a bit bouncy over city conditions but settles right down at highway speeds – pretty minor stuff for an all-new car. The Lowdown Power: 2.3L turbo 4-cylinder with 310hp, 300hp V6 or 435hp V8 Fill-up: N/A (city/highway) Sticker price: $24,999-$52,899 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca
After three months of raised speed limits on stretches of major B.C. highways, are you happy with the new limits or should they be changed again – up or down? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

There isn’t the classic V8 rumble but this compromise is easy to take, knowing that this model has plenty of power for the average daily commuter. The true muscle car enthusiast will be attracted to the 435hp 5.0L V8. Power goes through either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The big change to the chassis is the introduction of an independent rear suspension and modified front suspension, plus bigger brakes. Carving through the canyons outside of L.A. was a treat, the platform is very forgiving and there is no longer any unstable mid-corner surprises found in the older cars, just a very sure-footed modern car.

Ford’s not so new all new van by Ian Harwood
Driving down the road you see quite a variety of work vehicles, cube vans, flat decks, service trucks and pickups to name but a few. The days of the traditional van have gone except for a few that have seen more than a little action in their lives! Consumers looking for a work van now want more headroom in the back to carry out products
to the job site or perhaps use as a portable office or shop. Enter the European vans. The Sprinter van is a classic example. It started with just a few driving our streets and now it’s the template for what other vans to aspire to be. The 2015 Ford Transit is new to us but has been around for many years in Europe; a big success there and it will likely prove to be a huge success here. Looks The looks scream European but it fits right at home here in Canada. The headlights and front grille look just like most Ford products and in fact I found myself
doing a double take when I first came across one. In the cab I found plenty of room and could see myself working in this all day, jumping out to make deliveries and working very comfortably. The Transit Van is available in three body lengths, 320 cm (126”), 363 cm (143.7”), 436 cm (172.2”), and three roof heights 211 (83.2”), 255 cm (100.7”), and 279 cm (110”). There is an available Crew Chief option that helps you track your fleet. A GPS enabled black box is mounted in the vehicle and records detailed information like, location, speed, and fuel
economy. It can also tell if the driver seat belt is in use. Power The available engines are 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 with 275 hp, 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with 310 hp and a 3.2L I5 Diesel with 185 hp all mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission Safety is important and a work van should be a safe place to work. The Transit
van offers driver and passenger airbags, side curtain and front thorax side airbags, anti-lock brakes, and 3 point seat belts. If the SYNC option is chosen a distress call is made for you when the air bag goes off. Roadworthy The power rack and pinion steering set up helps this van drive like a dream. Turning is very easy and
backing into loading bays is a piece of cake. The optional backup camera helps to dial in the proximity of the rear bumper and a wall. I thought a van of this height would be more problematic on the highway with the cross winds but on a trip across the new Port Mann being passed by a large semi I felt very comfortable. It is very much like driving a
minivan. Warranty Bumper to bumper 3 year/60,000 km Powertrain 5 years/ 100,000 km Corrosion 5 years/ 100,000 km Fuel Economy 16.9/ 12.5 L/100 km (city/ highway) Sticker price Starting at $30,052 ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

UFV to host ‘slow clothes’ lecture
Charllotte Kwon to speak about clothing production in India In a world fueled by fast food, instant messaging, and immediate gratification, Charllotte Kwon suggests an entirely different way of starting your day — by pulling on ‘slow clothes’. Kwon, who received an honorary degree from the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) in June, returns to present a lecture titled Waiting for
the Monsoon: Slow Clothes in India. Her appearance kicks off the UFV President’s lecture series for 2014/15. Kwon’s lecture begins in UFV’s Abbotsford Lecture Theatre (B101) at 4 p.m. on Oct. 6. Through video and images she will lead a tour of slow clothes in India designed to make the audience re-
think everything that goes into a garment. “Slow clothes are made with an eye to the human impact of clothing production rather than the need accelerate production to meet a fashion trend.” UFV President Mark Evered established this lecture series to bring informed and inspirational speakers to UFV and the com-

Play depicts notorious incident A performance, presented by the Centre for IndoCanadian Studies at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), will commemorate the Komagata Maru incident. UFV has organized a play performance of the incident, which occurred in 1914, when 376 passengers of South Asian descent landed on B.C. shores hoping to enter Canada. They were denied entry and for two months the potential immigrants were forced to stay on their ship, the Komagata Maru. Only a handful were allowed to come to shore, while the rest were forced to return, only to be shot at by British Indian troops at Budge Budge, Calcutta. Many of the men were killed, injured, or imprisoned, while others were forced into exile. The performances will be held at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium (32315 South Fraser Way) on Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. and on Nov. 2 at 2 p.m. Doors will open a half-hour before the performances. Tickets are $15, or $10 for students and are available online. For more information visit ufv.ca/cics or call 604-851-6325.

circumstances, even overflowing into the lives of others? Buck soon roused from his sleep as the nurse scurried out the door and we yakked about life. Mostly small stuff. A few laughs. I asked Buck how he was feeling as he repositioned h i m s e l f in the bed he h a d SCHAPANSKY b e e n stuck in for months. He didn’t answer, but I looked down at his hands as he gestured a two-thumbs up sign. All good. Then he dozed off again. As I passed the nurse in the hall, I thought both she and Buck preached the best sermons on abundant life I’ve heard. And yet hardly a word was spoken. Dave Schapansky is a pastor at HillCity Church.

GILES ABBOTT
Mary (nee Sluchinski)
Marguerite Evelyn
Born September 6, 1924 in Dana, Saskatchewan. Mother passed away on September 23, 2014, peacefully in her own home, just as she always said she would do. She is survived by daughter Linda (Ron) Schilling of Chilliwack, son Douglas of Toronto, brother Jim (Pat) of Bluffton, AB and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Alvin in 1982. Mother was one of 13 children and was resourceful and hardworking from an early age. She was making cabbage rolls and banana bread right up until the end, and loved to gift people with her baking. Mother was proud to have reached the age of 90 earlier this month and celebrated with her family by riding the Airtram at Hell’s Gate and walking across the suspension bridge! She was unbeatable at Scrabble, loved the Toronto Blue Jays, read her Bible daily ---- and the astrology column as well. Many thanks to Dr. Whittington and staff and to the friends who helped her maintain her independence. Family memorial will be held at a later date.
It is with profound sadness that Marguerite’s family announces her passing on September 30, 2014 at the age of 96 at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Edmonton, AB. She was born on May 7, 1918 in Mission, BC and grew up on Nicomen Island - the eldest daughter of Fred and Violet Brautigam. Following high school Marguerite graduated in 1941 from St. Joseph’s Hospital in Victoria and began working as a Registered Nurse before leaving the nursing field to raise a family with husband Ray Abbott, who predeceased her in June 2011. If the fish were running Mom could often be found along with her brothers and sisters at the Wingdam in Deroche. She was an avid gardener, enjoyed sewing, playing cards and geneology. Ray and Marguerite were married for 69 years and farmed for 50+ years on Nicomen Island before moving to Mission where they resided for 3 years before enjoying the Okanagan for 3 years. They eventually relocated to Sherwood Park, AB in 2009 to live with their daughter Judy and her family. She will be lovingly remembered by her children Mickey (Mary) of Enderby, BC; Larry (Sue) of Berwick, NS; Ted (Mary) of Kamloops, BC; Sherry (Bill) Blancher of Balfour, BC; Steve (Inga) of Lavington, BC; Carol (Paul Kroeker) of Chilliwack; Judy (Udo) Weiss of Sherwood Park, AB; 16 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Also survived by brothers Gord (Joyce) Brautigam of Mission, BC; Martin Brautigam of Burnaby, BC and brotherin-law Les Dainard of Mission, BC and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by brothers Donald, Ken, Ted, Bud (Jack) and sisters Doreen, Dorothea and June. No service at her request. A family gathering to be held at a later date to celebrate her life.
KROEKER Dorothy Mary It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Dorothy Mary Kroeker on September 26, 2014 in Mission, BC. Born December 16, 1921 near Rockland, Saskatchewan to Otto and Elizabeth Knops. She is survived by her sons; Ken (Linda) and Terry (Karen) as well as grandchildren; Kim, Brian, Tysha, Travis and great grandchildren, Reese, Jett, Makenna, Isabella and sisters Marion (Eleanor) and Velma, along with many other relatives and dear friends. As requested no service will be held.

Denis Norman April 15, 1948 ~ Sept. 24, 2014
Denis was born April 15, 1948 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and passed away peacefully with his family at his side on September 24, 2014 at the age of 66 years. Denis was a dedicated long-term employee of Telus where he will be fondly remembered for his kindness and generosity. As a long-term resident of Calgary he was loved and appreciated for his willing availability and concern for his friends and neighbors. Denis will be forever loved and remembered by his sisters, Lorraine (Willie) and Myrtle; and his brother Harold (Karen), and was also much loved by all his nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents; his sisters, Marilyn, Tilly and Thelma; and brother Roy. A Celebration of Denis’ Life will be held in Calgary Oct. 6, 2014 at 2 pm at McInnis & Holloway Funeral Home, 82 Crowfoot Circle NW, Calgary, AB.
Klaas
KROEKER Ronald Alvin Ron passed away peacefully on September 20, 2014 after a lengthy illness. Lovingly remembered by his mother, Elizabeth Kroeker, his sister and brother-in-law Karen and Steve Williams, nephews Daniel Schaap (Jenni) and Jeremy Williams, niece Kristall Martin (Ryan) and friends. He was pre-deceased by his father, Jacob Kroeker. Ron was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on February 4, 1957 and moved to Abbotsford with his family in 1970. Ron experienced many health problems due to diabetes and Crohn’s disease but managed to cope with these illnesses until admitted to hospital March, 2014. Because of Ron’s illnesses, he was restricted in his diet and we would like to picture him at Christ’s banquet table enjoying all the foods he was denied in life, including chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.
