Abbotsford News

The only sign of the violence that occurred in a busy Abbotsford neighbourhood last Thursday night is a small collection of burning candles at the side of the road. They mark the location on Sparrow Drive in east Abbotsford where 18-year-old Harwindip (Harwin) Baringh was shot to death while in an SUV west of Goldfinch Street at about 7:45 p.m. Baringh was found slumped over in the driver’s seat of the vehicle which sat on the street in the 30500 block. Investigators blocked off a large portion of the neighbourhood with yellow crime tape for more than 24 hours after the murder as they combed the scene for shell casings c O E D I V INE and other evidence that might lead ONLws.com them to the person or people responabbyne sible for the shooting. The evidence includes neighbours’ reports of hearing and/or seeing one or two vehicles speeding away from the scene: a newer white Acura TL and a dark-coloured sedan. Mourners came to the site on Saturday night for a candlelight vigil in memory of the 2014 graduate of W. J. Mouat Secondary, and the neighbourhood has since returned to its normal routines. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has not released any new information on the murder, including whether it is linked to a conflict that has been occurring in that area of Abbotsford since May. Police first reported in early July that there had been more than 25 incidents since May 11 involving two groups of South Asian men ages 15 to 25, Continued on A3

Trial date set for accused in Jonathan Bacon murder Trio face judge and jury in April 2016 Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A trial date has been set for the three men accused of the murder of former Red Scorpions gang leader Jonathan Bacon and the attempted murder of four others. Jujhar Khun-Khun of Surrey, Michael Kerry Hunter Jones of Gibsons and Jason Thomas McBride of North Vancouver appeared in court in Kelowna on Monday, when the date for their jury trial was scheduled for April 4, 2016. The three are each charged

Last week, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) released figures showing that the number of murders related to organized crime has dropped 20 per cent from 2013 to 2014. Forty-one per cent of their investigations were related to organized crime in the period from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, 2013, according to IHIT. The agency stated that the figure has dropped to 21 per cent for the same period this year. IHIT has conducted 43 investigations from Jan. 1 to Oct. 3 of this year.

‘Rest in paradise big bro’ and this had resulted in thousands of dollars in property damage. At the time, police said they were concerned that the dispute, which wasn’t related to drugs or gangs, could escalate into serious physical injury. Police reported in mid-August that they had installed security cameras on two streets to monitor activities related to the ongoing dispute, which they called the “Townline Hill conflict.” Those cameras are located not far from the scene of Baringh’s death. The community has remained quiet about the murder, and little has been uncovered about Baringh. He was a member of Mouat Secondary’s wrestling team for a short time, including when they clinched first place in the Port Alberni Invitational Tournament in February 2013. Individually, Baringh place fifth in the juvenile boys category at that event. “Rest in peace” messages have been posted on some of this friends’ Facebook and Twitter pages. “Even tho your gone we’re still a team. Rest in paradise big bro,” said one message. “I’m just staring (at) our last text conversation and wishing you could laugh with me one more time. R.I.P. bro,” said another. This is Abbotsford’s second confirmed murder of the year. Matt Campbell, identified as having ties to the Red Scorpions gang, died Jan. 2 after staggering into a business at the Fraser Valley Automall with a severe neck wound. Police later confirmed that he had been stabbed, and Jimi Sandhu, 24, was charged a month later with second-de-

Homelessness co-ordinator to seek funding for city Civic task force recommendations adopted by council Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

A homelessness co-ordinator will be hired by the city, following recommendations made by a civic task force on the issue. Council approved the finalized homelessness task force action plan on Monday, directing the city manager to create a new staff position. The 2014 homeless count found 151 homeless people in Abbotsford. A staff report says the intent is not to replicate the work being done by local service providers, but to liaise with government, non-profits and other stakeholders, as well as

seek funding sources for the lessness. As well, council approved city. It’s intended to be a “dedicat- the creation of a homelessed, impartial, and experienced ness action committee that would continue the position.” The position work of the task force, is currently expected which began meeting to be a manager level in April. with salary and benCoun.

Coun. Henry Braun said he hopes support from Fraser Health and BC Housing translates into financial support. Coun. Dave Loewen asked about the working group and whether they would touch on the idea of a dignity village – a facility of transitional housing for homeless people. There is currently a proposal to build such a service on Valley Road, off the Abbotsford-Mission Highway. Rudolph said the task force report focuses on longer-term strategies and a housing-first approach, which stresses the need to getting people off the streets before dealing with other issues such as substance abuse or mental health.

Enrolment drops in wake of strike

YOUR CURRENT HEARING AIDS? WE CAN HELP!

Abbotsford’s public schools have seen enrolment decline much more than expected, according to the school district. The district, which educates more than 18,000 students each year, had expected around 100 fewer students to attend school this fall. Instead, initial counts suggest enrolment is down by an additional 120 students on top of that expected drop. While it is not uncommon for enrolment to fluctuate or for early projections to be off, this year’s drop may be the result of the teachers’ strike, according to school district communications manager Dave Stephen. “This is more than we projected,” he said. “I would assume that some parents have decided to try alternate education for their kids.” The decline in enrolment was greatest on the western side of the district, and is expected to result in the elimination of four full-time-equivalent teaching positions. A final headcount will take place on Oct. 17, with those numbers used by the province to allocate funding. The school board also changed its schedule in order to move the start of the second semester by a week, to Feb. 10. The move was made in the wake of the teachers’ strike to ensure both semesters have roughly the same number of teaching days. The school board also announced an instructional day that had initially been scheduled for Sept. 22 will be moved to Nov. 10. With Remembrance Day the following day, the move will create a four-day weekend for students.

Police seek driver of red pickup Hoping for information in suspicious incident involving girl

One of the two drivers whom police were hoping to speak to in relation to a suspicious incident involving a young girl has come forward. Const. Ian MacDonald said the driver of the white pickup has contacted the Abbotsford Police Department (APD), while the driver of the red pickup has not. It is not yet known whether the driver of the white vehicle had any valuable information to provide. Police issued a request on Friday to have the drivers of two particular vehicles come

forward to see if there were any details they could provide. The pickup trucks had been captured on security video in the area of Enterprise Avenue and McCallum Road just after 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 30. On that day, police received

a call from another driver who saw a young girl in a pink jacket lying on the side of the road at about 6:20 p.m. The driver said he saw a man pick up the girl and carry her in the direction of a treed area just west of that location. The report resulted in police and members of Central Valley Search and Rescue searching the area until about 3 a.m. Wednesday to no avail. MacDonald said police have not been contacted by the man who was seen with the girl nor have police received any reports of missing girls.

All girls enrolled in the Abbotsford school district have been accounted for. “Nonetheless, we are still seeking definitive answers to ensure the well-being of the child involved and to explain the observations of the very credible witness,” he said. Police would still like to speak to the driver of the red pickup truck that drove east on Enterprise and turned north onto Turner Street on Sept. 30 after 6 p.m. That person is asked to contact the APD at 604-859-5225 or text 222973 (abbypd).

Police are looking for two men who stole items from the Future Shop store in Abbotsford on Friday night and used bear spray on employees who chased them. The incident took place at about 7 p.m. at the location in West Oaks Mall. Const. Ian MacDonald said two men shoplifted a security camera kit worth

about $500 and were chased by a group of workers as they tried to get away. The suspects dispersed the bear spray in the front entrance of the store, between two sets of doors, and fled from the scene in a dark-coloured import sedan similar to a Honda, MacDonald said. Six workers were treated at the scene for the effects of the bear spray. The suspects are both described as between 25 and 30 years old, 5’ 8” to six

Former mayors back Braun

ESTATE PLANNING 101

Kandal and Ferguson sign councillor’s nomination forms

Two former local mayors, George Ferguson and Dave Kandal, have signed the nomination papers of Coun. Henry Braun, who is making a bid for the Abbotsford mayor’s seat this fall. In 1995, Ferguson and Kandal were involved in the successful amalgamation of the District of Abbotsford and the Distract of Matsqui to form the City of Abbotsford. “George and I share many of the same values: open and transparent government and fiscal accountability,” Braun stated. “George is someone who believes we are servants of the people, not masters of the people – a view I also hold.”

Ferguson’s career in local politics started in 1969. He served until 2008, missing three years due to his one and only political defeat in nearly 40 years of public service. In 2011, he was honoured with the Order of Abbotsford and as Abbotsford’s Citizen of the Year. Kandal was the final mayor of the former District of Matsqui and gave way to Ferguson in the first election of the newly amalgamated City of Abbotsford in 1995. Kandal was inducted into the Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame for his commitment to recreational development, including an elementary school’s basketball league and many athletic facilities in the former District of Mastqui.

Revamped summit deemed a success Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

This year’s Fraser Valley Economic Summit was just above break-even financially, with positive response coming from about 265 attendees. According to figures provided by the city, the event generated total revenue of $73,379, with total expenses of $72,510. Ticket sales accounted for about $26,727, with other funds coming in from sponsors. Justin P. Goodrich, managing partner at Giesbrecht, Goodrich and Co. and chair of the organizing committee, said the event was a success. He said the intention was to make the project at the least cost-neu-

tral, while providing an event where attendees would leave with relevant and tangible information they could use in their businesses. This year’s event brought in less revenue than its earlier iteration as the Fraser Vally Economic Symposium, which was held in 2012. An income statement from the city indicated that event made a surplus of $11,676. Goodrich said attendance was consistent with 2012, but they had been “hoping to get closer to about 300.” He said the event was revamped to reflect a more regional focus, and was not just run by the city, but had representatives from the business

committee and chamber of commerce involved in the organization. Goodrich said the response to the event was good. “We had a hugely positive response, in particular with respect to our keynote speakers.” The cost for speakers was $18,725 and included MP Ed Fast, motivational speaker Alvin Law, Kinder Morgan CEO Ian Anderson, well-known broadcaster Bill Good and others. Goodrich said the event demonstrated that Abbotsford is dedicated to its small- and medium-sized businesses, and it can be built on locally and regionally in the coming years.

Purple Light nights Lions, police team up against domestic violence The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) has joined forces with the BC Lions for a campaign against domestic violence. The Purple Light Nights initiative encourages residents and businesses to shine purple light or lights outside their home throughout October. The campaign originated in Covington, Wash., in 2007 and has become an international educational and awareness campaign. Purple is the international colour used to symbolize domestic violence awareness. The Abbotsford/Mission Violence Against Women in Relationships (VAWIR) committee adopted the Purple Lights Campaign three years ago.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION - POST BASIC Do you enjoy working with children? Early Childhood Educators not only teach children, they aim to help children develop good habits in learning and in life.

The campaign continues to grow locally, with the ongoing support of the VAWIR committee, the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association, and other local businesses in the AbbotsfordMission area. “Collectively, we promote the message that domestic violence has no place in our community,” said APD Const. Ian MacDonald. The APD’s domestic violence unit works in close partnership with the Abbotsford Community Service’s specialized victim assistance program, the Ministry of Children and Family Development, and BC Corrections and Crown counsel. MacDonald said the objectives of the Purple Light Nights campaign are to: remember victims who lost their lives as a result of domestic violence, support survivors of domestic violence, and give hope to those still living with abuse. Purple lights can be purchased by contacting APD victim services co-ordinator Renee Angelvette at rangelvette@abbypd.ca.

Abbotsford Community Foundation is proud to have produced the 2014 Vital Signs Report for our community. We are one of 28 community foundations across Canada measuring the vitality of our communities, identifying issues and trends and providing citizens with the opportunity to give their input on key areas. Our hope is that our Vital Signs report will help inform, not only the decisions we make, but those of other organizations who support our community. Last year’s report indicated that there are a significant number of children living in poverty in Abbotsford. As a result, in June we launched our Smart and Caring Community initiative by awarding $100,000 for programs for children in need. Lastly, with the municipal election on the horizon, we hope our report will be useful as we engage in dialogue about our community, its future and the leadership and vision needed to move us forward.

The music in her mind

Ursula Rettich’s abstract art on display at Kariton Gallery A solo exhibition featuring the works of Ursula Rettich will be held at the Kariton Art Gallery (2387 Ware St.) from Oct. 17 to Nov. 11 with the opening reception to be held Oct. 19, from 1 to 4 p.m. Rettich’s exhibit, “Music in My Mind,” portrays abstract imagery of music, through which she “transfers the sounds [she] hears into colours and the movements into brushstrokes.”

Born, raised and educated in Germany, Rettich immigrated to Canada in 1958, first residing in Cassiar, B.C. and later moving to Burnaby in 1963. She joined the Guild of Fabric Arts in Vancouver in 1979, and since then has participated in dozens of art exhibitions in fabric art and painting. In 1993, Rettich moved to Kaslo, B.C. where she established a studio called “4711

Art Gallery.” She moved to Abbotsford in 2008 and established “Ursula’s Fine Art Studio,” which she still operates today.

For more information on Rettich, visit www. seatocanvas.com. For info on the arts council visit abbotsfordartscouncil.org.

Housing facility earns gold-level rating The recently opened George Schmidt Centre (GSC) has achieved LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) “gold” for “homes midrise.” GSC is a second-stage 30-unit housing facility for men in recovery on the Kinghaven Treatment Centre campus on King Road in Abbotsford. LEED is a program which certifies high-performing healthy green buildings, homes and communities into four levels – certified, silver, gold and platinum. LEED for Homes Midrise is a new program to Canada, and GSC was the second project registered in B.C. and the first to be certified in Western Canada. Some of the sustainable targets achieved in the project included heat-recovery ventilation in each suite, high-efficiency irrigation systems, and diversion of 86 per cent of construction waste from landfills. LEED for Homes Midrise, currently in a pilot stage, accommodates mainly residential buildings that are between four and 12 storeys. The project is soon to be established by Canada Green Building Council as a full program. There are currently more than 60 projects registered in B.C. under this category.

Buddy Guys

Birdsong

TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE

presented by UFV Theatre

Local comedy group vies for grand prize Buddy Guys is a new comedy featuring local comedians Sunee Dhaliwal and Clifford Prang, developed with Adam Wormald as part of the ComedyCoup talent accelerator contest. The story follows two best friends, Sunee and Cliff. When they learn that Sunee’s sister Preety is arranged to be married to their lifelong nemesis Dalpreet Sidhu, they will stop at nothing to put an end to the wedding – even if it means Preety married Cliff instead. They describe the show as an unlikely adventure that celebrates love, friendship and family and promotes Punjabi tradition, values and culture to the next generation. The show is part of a competition that requires votes from the public to advance. Right now, the top 100 teams are facing weekly challenges. The first voting period will be held Oct. 23 to 26 and 50 teams will advance. The contest will continue to advance the top teams based on votes from the public, with the top 15 being flown to Toronto to pitch their ideas to network executives. One team will receive $500,000 and a half-hour special on CBC. Buddy Guys are one of two teams (out of 283) from the Fraser Valley. To learn more or vote for Buddy Guys visit comedycoup.cbc.ca/buddyguys.

Thrift Store’s The Salvation Army moves fresh, new look forward with pet-friendly shelter

Our look will change but our quality, great service, and fantastic bargains will remain the same!

Every day at The Salvation Army we offer hope, compassion and practical support to those individuals who come to us for assistance in the midst of life’s most challenging circumstances. In an effort to serve our people most effectively, we strive to identify gaps in services and the barriers that stand in the way of them gaining access to the vital resources they need. One such barrier we identified at The Centre of Hope was that an individual without a home could not stay in our Shelter if they had a pet that they couldn’t part with. For some, their animal or pet is the only connection they have with another living being. While the concept of animals in our building presented some challenges, we are moving forward with a ‘Pet Friendly’ model of Shelter with the gracious support of our local SPCA office, (Left) Nate McCready, Director of Centre of Hope; (right) Captain Mark Dunstan, Officer and Pastor. Dr. Kelly O’Blenis DVM BSc, and other businesses. If you have any questions in regard to this program, or you We are in need of good quality, clean, used or new blankets to provide to those would like to partner with us we serve.

Abby ballplayer into the swing of things in Florida 3B Tanner Rempel gets a hit in first game

Justin BEDDALL Abbotsford News

Ever wonder how hard it is to hit a major league fastball? Seventeen-year-old Tanner Rempel can tell you. The Grade 12 Yale Secondary student is one of 30 players participating at Baseball Canada’s national junior team fall instructional league camp in Orlando, Fla. The camp includes nine exhibition games against teams composed of Major League Baseball prospects from the Houston Astros,

Atlanta Braves, Detroit Tigers, Washington Nationals and Toronto Blue Jays. During his first at bat on Monday, Rempel faced an Astros pitcher with a 98-mph fastball. “You have such a little window of time to react to where the pitch is and whether or not to swing. It comes in so fast that if you blink you won’t see the ball at all,” he explains. In the B.C. Premier League, where he plays third base for the Abbotsford Cardinals, most pitches are in the mid- to high 80s. Still, Rempel’s not FILE PHOTO Abbotsford News

daunted by speed-limit change in Florida. “Well, I knew stepping into the box that this was nothing I couldn’t handle – we have nothing to lose being so young facing these professional pitchers.” He struck out his first at-bat but felt more comfortable his second

time up knowing that “we weren’t going to see anything over 98” and cracked a hit. “I really don’t even remember even seeing the ball. It just came in so quick. I just kind of saw it out of his hand, picked up where it was going to be, then swung. Once I saw it through

the infield I felt a little bit of relief now that I had my first hit under my belt.” During the 10-day camp, the junior Canadians are training and playing most of their games at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports facility, the spring training home of the Atlanta Braves. “Unbelievable stadium, super nice field,” Rempel says. And while the sprawling Walt Disney World looms in the distance, Rempel’s been too busy at the diamond to play tourist. “[Disney World] is close, 10 minutes away. No time for that unfortunately.” . On-field training, led by Greg Hamilton, Baseball Canada’s director of national teams, starts at 8 a.m. daily and players don’t return to their hotel rooms until 9 p.m. “The coaching has been amazing,” says Rempel, who is hoping to earn a spot on the Canadian U18 team for the 2015 IBAF World Cup in Nishinomiya, Japan.

But for now he’s focused on the team’s remaining exhibition schedule in Florida. Rempel, who models his game after his favourite MLB player, Brett Lawrie of the Blue

Jays, is especially excited for the upcoming game against Toronto’s prospects on Oct. 12 in Dunedin, Fla. “I’m really looking forward to playing those guys.”

The Fraser Valley Thunderbirds Major Midgets are off to a strong start after winning their first three games, and are now 3-2-1, good for fourth place in BC after three weeks. On Saturday, the T-Birds found themselves on the wrong side of a high scoring 9-6 game against the Vancouver NE Chiefs in which Dawson Rodin and Paul Tucek split the duties in net. Goals came from Davin Padgam (two), Jamie Housch, Kaelen Anderson, Danny Choi and Kyle Bosko. Assists went to Brice Sharp (three), Alex Furlan, Nolan Ferguson, Nick Ponak

and Anderson. The weekend rematch ended in a 4-4 tie, earning the T-Birds a single point vs. the Chiefs. Rodin went the distance in net while Mackenzie Wight (two), Zach McKee and Ponak scored for the T-Birds. Assists were credited to Padgam (two), Ponak, Marshall Skapski, Wight and Noah Wiebe. Next week the T-Birds will meet their toughest challenge yet against the leagueleading Vancouver NW Giants in a home and home doubleheader. The T-Birds host the Giants at 4:00 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11 at the ARC.

PacWest Championships for UFV golf

FAN

SPOT THE

Defending champs win back-to-back titles It’s said that the only thing harder than winning a championship is defending it, and by that standard, what the University of the Fraser Valley golf teams accomplished last Sunday (Oct. 5) was extremely impressive. At the conclusion of the last of four tournaments of the PacWest conference golf season – hosted by UBC Okanagan in Kelowna – the Cascades men’s and

women’s teams both found themselves atop the cumulative rankings. It’s the second straight year that both UFV teams have won provincial gold, and the m e n ’ s streak of P a c We s t titles is now at three seasons and counting. “It means a lot, because it seems

to get harder and harder every year,” said UFV golf coach Chris Bertram. “The competition in our conference is so good, but we keep getting better every year and we fight t o o t h and nail to get it done. It’s a credit to our players, both on the men’s and women’s side.” The Cascades

women claimed their conference crown in style, combining for a score of 327 over the two-round event and out-distancing the host UBC-O Heat (338) and the Vancouver Island University Mariners (393). That left the UFV women at 1,293 combined strokes over the four-tourney season, 26 ahead of the second-place Heat (1,319). Jen Woods carded Continued on A34

FEDJE Glen Allan Born August 4, 1938, Glen passed away peacefully September 26, 2014 with his wife Penny by his side, after a sudden illness while visiting in White Rock.

Glen was born in Vancouver, spending his younger years on the family farm in Abbotsford before serving in the RCAF. Most of his working life was spent in the forest industry in British Columbia on the east and west coast of Vancouver Island. An interesting and rich work life spent in the outdoors, that is where we will always envision him. Boating and RVing were also favourite pastimes. Glen and Penny built 3 beautiful homes together in Campbell River, filling them with wonderful memories with their children, grandchildren, dear friends and family. We thank these dear friends and family for their support at this time. We will all miss Glen’s calm nature. No service by request. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Glen’s memory to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation.

Veer, Margaret

Margaret Veer was born on September 10, 1923 in Teige, Russia, to Jacob and Helena Lepp. Her family immigrated to Canada in June, 1926 and settled in the Hepburn, Saskatchewan area. It was at the Hepburn church that she met her future husband, Henry Veer. They were married on July 28th, 1946 in the South Abbotsford Church and celebrated 68 years of marriage. In 1949 Henry and Margaret bought a ten-acre farm on Clearbrook Road. They farmed together for the next 42 years, growing raspberry crops and raising laying hens. They raised their three sons Ronald, Larry and Mark on the farm enjoying the advantages of ten acres of boy-filled adventures. Margaret was thrilled when the boys married and daughters and

granddaughters joined the family, finally she could have some female conversations. Church was always an important part of Mom’s life. She had committed her life to the Lord as a teenager and sought to live her life pleasing to God. She enjoyed singing and being part of singing groups and choirs. Although very busy working on the farm she still found time to create a happy home for her family. She enjoyed sewing, cooking, and baking special treats for her family. Mom loved playing Nintendo and always enjoyed playing a game of Rook with the children and grandchildren. She was an avid knitter and knit hundreds of sweater sets and socks for the homeless and relief organizations. Margaret is survived by her husband Henry, sons Ronald (Erna), Larry (Lois) Mark (Melody), six grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren. Viewing will be held on Wednesday, October 8, 2014 from 7-9:00 pm at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford.
