Stave Lake Water Supply & Treatment Project Council Presentation The business case for the Stave Lake Water Supply and Treatment Project will be presented to the Abbotsford and Mission Councils on April 4, 2011. To address growing demands on our water supply, the Abbotsford-Mission Water & Sewer Commission (AMWSC) is undertaking the development of Stave Lake as a new water supply source for the City of Abbotsford and the District of Mission. Approximately $300 million is required for this project, which is beyond the AMWSC’s capacity to develop alone. Cost-sharing partnerships and a variety of funding agreements are needed for the project to proceed. A business case analysis has been conducted that reviews the different ways the project can be delivered, including the traditional approach used by the AMWSC, as well as public private partnership approaches. The business case will be presented to Abbotsford City Council on April 4, 2011 at 7:00pm in the MCA Auditorium. If both Abbotsford and Mission Councils agree on April 4, 2011 that a publicprivate partnership offers the best value, they may submit an application for funding to the Federal Government for consideration under the P3 Canada Fund for up to 25 per cent funding for the project, or approximately $71.2 million dollars. If this happens, Abbotsford and Mission will seek the assent of the electors in the Fall 2011 as the next step in moving forward with the process.

THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD

t started as a gentle rumble, something Mike Luzia of Abbotsford had felt hundreds of times during his two and a half years in Japan, where small tremors are a common occurrence. He had just finished teaching English for the day on the small northeast island of Izushima and was working on some lesson plans. The rest of the school, consisting of 28 students and 22 other teachers, was still in session. The rumble grew stronger and was lasting longer than the typical 15 to 20 seconds. Pictures fell off the walls. Chairs toppled over. Mike leaped from his seat and joined his fellow teachers in ushering the students out of the building and to the dirt track. It was difficult to keep their balance on the shaking ground. The quake lasted a full five minutes. The sound of the school’s rattling windows echoed, as if being battered by a strong wind. Then, it was done. The school, built in the 1920s on high ground and reinforced to withstand a large quake, was still standing. It was in an isolated area, from which the rest of the island could not be seen. Cellphone reception had died. The public address system was no longer working. As the snow began to fall, Mike, his students and his colleagues did not receive the warning of another imminent disaster. *** Mike was about 10 years old when he got in trouble at school for some nowforgotten misdemeanour. His mom,

Susanne signed up Mike and his older brother, John. Something about samurai warriors and the honouring of ancient traditions grew on Mike. He stuck with the lessons for two years, and picked them up again for three years in high school. In 2004, bored by his university classes in computer information systems, Mike took a one-month trip to Japan. He travelled by train, visiting all the big cities. He loved the quiet, gracious and humble people. He appreciated their

work ethic – willing to do a good job without any ulterior motives. Mike wanted to live there. He switched his major to psychology and obtained certificates in teaching Japanese and English as a Second Language. He found a job teaching English three days a week at a small school in Onagawa, a Japanese fishing village on the northeast coast, and one day a week on the nearby island of Izushima. He arrived in 2008, the only Caucasian and the only Canadian in the village of 10,000. As he investigated his neighbourhood, children would yell, “Mom! Mom! There’s a foreigner!” Continued on A6

P3 debate goes public Abbotsford, Mission to decide on Monday Pump Station

On Monday night, the issue of water takes centre stage at council meetings in both Abbotsford and Mission. A new water system – estimated to cost $300 million – is needed by 2015, to augment the current Norrish Creek water supply. Up for debate is how to fund the project. Both councils will discuss and vote whether to move forward with a private public partnership (P3) to create a Stave Lake treatment plant and water source. The P3 approach features a possible federal funding grant worth close to $72 million (25 per cent of the cost) added to $110 million of privately financed money. A lively, long council debate is expected. Public input is welcome. If both councils agree to move forward on the P3 option, a referendum would be held in November for public approval to borrow the money needed, and to enter into a 25-year P3 agreement. It’s a contentious issue. Some citizens worry that a natural resource is being privatized, while city If we get into representatives are concerned a war with a major the facts are union (CUPE), the being muddied. “Stave Lake will first casualty will be an additional, fourth source of be the truth. water that will Mayor George Peary give us the redundancy we need,” explained Jim Gordon, Abbotsford’s general manager of engineering. “We still own the water licence ... we determine how much water we need.” The city would retain the operations of Norrish Creek, Cannell Lake and the 19 wells that make up the existing water system, as well as set the water rates and issue all the billing notices. Norrish Creek will remain the primary source of water for both communities, but as the population increases and the current system reaches its capacity, more water will be needed from Stave Lake. According to the business case put together by consulting firm Deloitte, the water plant will cost $2.09 million a year (based on 2011 dollars) to run privately, as compared to $1.3 million if the plant was run publicly. That’s a difference of about $19 million over the 25-year contract. Gordon said the increased cost is due to the number of employees needed to run the plant as well as other issues like insurance and management costs. The private company would have 20 employees at maximum capacity while the city would need 16. When all costs are added, Gordon said it is still a 10 per cent saving to go the P3 model, even before the federal funding. Among the critics of a P3 water supply option is the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE). Murray Jones, head of the Abbotsford CUPE local 774, said, “We have no interest in supporting the privatization of the water system.” Continued on A7

Vehicle theft dropped 21 per cent in Abbotsford in 2010, compared to 2009, according to statistics released this week by ICBC. The stats also show vehicle thefts have dropped in Abbotsford by 72 per cent since the bait car program began in 2003. ICBC and the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) this week launched Auto Crime Enforcement Month and announced the addition of “bait trailers” in the fight against auto theft.

The line in red represents the proposed P3 portion of a new water supply, piping and treatment plant going before Abbotsford and Mission councils on Monday night. The yellow line is new piping that will be installed by Abbotsford. The new water supply is expected to cost $300 million.

Voters must give permission A referendum will be needed in November in order for Abbotsford and Mission to create a new Stave Lake water supply and treatment centre. Voters will be asked for permission to borrow money to pay for a new system. Public consent is mandatory under the municipal borrowing bylaw. The price tag will depend on what plan the two councils decide to follow. On Monday, both cities will debate a P3 proposal that could see the federal government supply $72 million in funding. If a P3 (private public partnership) is approved, public support on a second question will be required to allow the cities to enter into a long-term contract. The wording of the referendum questions has yet to be established, as officials wait to see if a P3 will be approved by councils and the overseeing federal agency, PPP Canada. If funding is not made available, the P3 concept may be reconsidered. If a P3 funding application is made, a decision is expected by June, well before the November referendum. Both Abbotsford and Mission would have to approve the referendum for it to pass. Voters could approve the borrowing of money, but not the long-term contract, which would also force a change in plans. “I can’t see people saying no to borrowing money for water. We all know we need it,” said Peary, who was less certain regarding the P3 question.

Abbotsford lost an important business leader on Tuesday as, while surrounded by his family, David Holmberg Jr. lost his battle with cancer. Throughout his 16month struggle, David was given strength by his wife Wanda, son Christopher, daughter Maddison and parents Dave and Lee Holmberg. “David battled courageously and he never complained once,” said his father Dave Sr. “He had a significant impact on the community and on charitable groups ... he’ll be missed.” Born Jan. 9, 1963, David moved to Abbotsford with his family in 1975, attending Centennial Park elementary and graduating from Abbotsford Senior secondary. He joined the family business, Bobcat Country and his sales and management skills were significant in the company’s success. A celebration to honour his life and contributions will be held April 8, at 11 a.m. in Cascade Community Church, 35190 DeLair Rd.

Bradner man feared loss of girlfriend in Japan From A4

He moved into a tiny, four-unit apartment building. His living room fit only a computer desk and a TV, while his bedroom could hold only a bed and a dresser. Families who heard about the new arrival would invite him for dinner or bring him gifts, such as bags of seaweed, often used in Japanese cooking. If Mike caught a cold, the news would spread

and food would be brought to his door. During a break from school in October of that year, Mike travelled to China to visit some friends. On his return flight, he met Hui Wen Shi, who soon became his girlfriend. She was an exchange student at a university in Sendai – not far from Onagawa – and was working toward her master’s degree in international politics and law. He liked that she was

so smart, and he was drawn to her cheerful spirit and the way she made him laugh. *** A truckload of about 15 people arrived at the school after the initial quake and the subsequent aftershocks. There had been a tsunami, they said, and it had washed over the island. More and more survivors arrived, including some of the students’ parents. Most were in shock,

devastated by having seen family members washed away. About 150 showed up from the town of 600. Mike was worried about his girlfriend. Hui Wen lived in an apartment in Sendai, but she had stayed overnight at his place while he stayed on the island. He had arrived the previous day, on his 27th birthday, in order to join in the celebration of two students who were graduating from junior to senior high school. Hui Wen had been planning a special birthday dinner for him later in the day upon his return to Onagawa. Mike knew the tsunami would have impacted the coastal village, but he couldn’t imagine to what extent. Several helicopters were sent in to rescue the survivors and transport them to evacuation centres. As Mike’s chopper lifted, he saw the devastation for the first time.

roads were now open, and Mike was given a ride from the rescue centre in Ishinomaki to his home base of Onagawa. There were no words for the destruction. The building next to his apartment was still standing, but not much else at sea level had survived. The school where he taught three days a week was intact, because it was on high ground. It was being used as an evacuation centre. Mike made his way to the staff room, where teachers there assured him that Hui Wen was OK. He was standing at the top of a staircase when he spotted her below. He felt like his heart stopped. He yelled her name. The two ran for each other, stumbling over the stairs, before meeting in the middle. They collapsed in a bear hug, and at last, Mike was able to cry. They stayed like that for a long time. *** Hui Wen had outrun

the tsunami. She had gathered at the local playground, along with other citizens, when the tsunami warning was sounded. These warnings were common and people had become complacent about them. It wasn’t until the water began seeping in around them, like a bathtub filling up, that people began running for higher ground. Hui Wen was with a group of about 20. She picked up a boy of about five years old, and ran with him in her arms. He insisted he was fine and could run on his own. She set him down and scrambled up the hillside. When Hui Wen reached the top, she looked around her. Only four of them had made it. The boy and his mother were not there. *** Now back in Abbotsford after a two-week process to get home due to losing his passport in the tsunami, Mike is doing what he can to help the people of Onagawa. He has been speaking to school groups, and wants to raise funds to aid children, including his own students, who have been orphaned by the disaster. Hui Wen has returned to China. The two will reunite in one of their home countries, depending on whose travel documents come through first. They hope to return to Japan before the end of April. Mike is not sure how long he will stay, but one thing is clear: He wants Hui Wen by his side, wherever in the world that takes them.

Moncton made the P3 leap

Kevin MILLS

Abbotsford News

In the mid-1990s, the city of Moncton, New Brunswick had a major issue – water. Unlike Abbotsford, Moncton’s problem wasn’t quantity, but quality. In 1997, the city was under a boil order for weeks, and it happened again two years later. With no treatment plant, water was frequently failing quality tests and the city had to take action. The decision was made to enter a public private partnership (P3) agreement with Veolia Water Canada, to construct and run a water treatment facility for a period of 20 years. “We had a need and an urgency to solve a significant problem,” said Ensor Nicholson, director of water systems for the city of Moncton. With a short timeline, and a need to secure funding, the city opted for the P3 option.

“It got us out of a jam in a quick period of time.” The city made the P3 leap without the benefit of federal funding. In 1999, there was no 25 per cent P3 grant money available. He compared the 20-year agreement to a mortgage, saying the city agreed to pay Veolia for 20 years and when the term is over, the city owns the treatment plant. There were both private and public concerns regarding a P3 deal, but Nicholson believes the key to a successful relationship depends on the contract details. “Define the terms … any vagueness can be difficult.” While he acknowledged that every possible situation cannot be accounted for, the more detail, the better. “The private side knows what its getting into and so does the public side.” As for quality control, Moncton’s deal specifies that the company and the city test the water, independently, every week.

“And we can monitor the operations of the plant remotely,” he added. Taxpayers in Moncton took an initial hit. Water rates went up on average $100 per household in the first year. More water rate increases have taken place, but Nicholson said they are not out of line with any other community. In 2010, the average water bill went up $40 per year, and in 2011 it rose $70, an increase of about nine per cent. The average home in Moncton now pays $790 a year for water. The average house in Abbotsford is expected to pay $623.01 in 2011 and the city’s financial plan is calling for a 10 per cent hike in each of the next five years. With Moncton’s P3 deal now past the halfway point, 11 years so far, Nicholson said the city has no complaints. “They (Veolia) do a pretty good job for us and their record is excellent ... We have excellent water now and that’s what we needed.”

P3 offers risk transfer from public to private sector

From A5

“Won’t there be pressure from the private company to bring the treatment centre on-line at full capacity?” The city says no. The contract will dictate supply, along with some provisions to deal with the rising costs of doing business, such as hydro rates. “If we get into a war with a major union, the first casualty will be the truth,” said Abbotsford Mayor George Peary. He believes the P3 system can

He said CUPE is preparing a campaign against the P3 option, pushing for a public design-andbuild formula. “If you do it publicly, it costs more initially. But over the 25 years, the cost is less when publicly operated,” claimed Jones. He is also concerned that when the new system is on line, the private investor will want to increase its profits by increasing the amount of water provided.

work and points to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital as a local success story. Gordon said another immediate advantage to a P3 is the risk transfer it offers. When projects are put to tender, costs often become higher and delays may occur. But under the P3, the private company has put much of the financing up front and is obligated to finish the job. “The risk is if they don’t meet their requirements, we can with-

hold payment,” said Gordon. It’s the same approach for maintenance. The building has to be kept in prime working order, or payment is withheld. Both the city and the company will do weekly water testing to ensure provincial standards are met. Pat Soanes, general manager of finance for Abbotsford, said there are some downsides to P3. “We do lose our flexibility ... we have to make the payments.”

She said with publicly run facilities, if city money is needed elsewhere, the option is available to defer payments – for maintenance, as an example. With a P3, the city has to follow the contract. Monday’s votes do not ensure a P3 will be undertaken – only allowing the cities to apply for funding.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Harper tax cut

Is Canada’s purchase of F35 fighter aircraft an issue for you in this election?

Harper’s promise to help families long after he helps his proﬁtable corporate friends is like his promise as a G8 member to give aid to reduce hunger. Here is what a leading economist said about that promise: “The G8 lied. It made the promise but didn’t follow through.” justlynn

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Ford is a corporation but so is the “Ma & Pa” corner store down the road. It we don’t create a favourable economic environment then “Ma & Pa” will go broke, and Ford will pack up and leave. I don’t know about you, but I prefer having a job at a proﬁtable corporation to waiting for a welfare cheque from a government with no revenues. DMTR

Do you feel a federal election was necessary at this time? 191 RESPONDED:

How close to zero taxes should we be? There will always be complaints from those who only see it their way. If it’s not more wages or less taxes, life’s obligations are always someone’s else’s problem. rhiebert

YES: 20% NO: 80%

Lessons on the sidewalks of life Andrew

Holota

On Point An article I read somewhere said Seattle is one of the most physically ﬁt cities in the world. It’s a daunting statistic to face if one is going there on a spring break jaunt with one’s supremely ﬁt teenaged daughter, and no right to claim the same for one’s self. And what do we see within a couple of blocks of our hotel? A homeless guy, doing step-ups on the concrete stairs of a corporate building, at about 9 in the morning. Step up. Step down. Step up. Step down. There wasn’t even a doorway in front of him, otherwise one might think he was just afraid of actually going through the portal. No. He was working out. He was doing the same thing two days later when we walked past the same block.

I suppose he’s better off than the fellow who was “painting” the department store windows with his hands. Behind the glass was a mannequin, and one can only guess at to what he was seeing, as he swept his ﬁngers across the glass, like branches choreographed by unseen winds. We gave side-long glances, and moved on. Just one of the “challenged” people in our world. But he probably had more history and reasons to be like that than the “normal” folks we listened to on the sidewalks. They were dressed in suits and fancy shoes, and in some ways seemed just as loopy as the window painter and the ﬁtness fanatic. These professional types wore Bluetooth devices, and when you couldn’t help but listen to their conversations, which were broadcast to everyone around them, you’d have to think they were a buck short of a full bank account themselves. One well-dressed fellow shared this snippet of conversation with us in the crosswalk: “... so, he told me that when we talk to this guy, we have to get his atten-

tion.” Umm-hmmm.That seems to be a good idea in general, when you’re talking to someone. Get their attention, that is. Tough if you’re trying to communicate with someone and they’re completely ignoring you.

You couldn’t help but listen to their conversations, which were broadcast to everyone around them. We shared the crosswalk with someone who seemed to suffer from some sort of spatial conceptualization. The chunk of conversation we caught from him went this way: “The nice thing about standard time and winter was that when it got dark, you knew it was time to go home!” Call me an artifact, but ever since I was a little kid on the farm, I knew

when it was time to go home. I didn’t need standard time or daylight savings time or any time at all. I just knew it was time to haul my keister back home on account as to how my tummy was hungry and my mom would be seriously jacked up if I didn’t report in on time. I guess crosswalk guy is going to have trouble catching his favourite Hollywood TV shows. Speaking of which, we ran across a couple of young women on a city bench, discussing their boyfriends. One was saying to the other, “He says I’m too high maintenance.” And the other replies, “You’re not high maintenance, girl!” I looked at my daughter. She looked back at me. And we didn’t need to say, ‘Did either of these gals look at themselves in the mirror this morning?’ ” It’s fun to compare notes at the end of such days, and ﬁnd threads which bind us as people, and bridge the gaps between strangers, and races, and genders, and young and old, and daughters and fathers. Thanks Seattle, for the laughs, and the lessons.

letters Prohibition provides fuel for drug crime

BC Views refers to Before Christ

Regarding your March 22 editorial, not only should medical marijuana be made available to patients in need, but adult recreational use should be regulated. Drug policies modeled after alcohol prohibition have given rise to a youth-oriented black market. Illegal drug dealers don’t ID for age, but they do recruit minors immune to adult sentences. So much for protecting the children. Throwing more money at the problem is no solution. Attempts to limit the supply of illegal drugs while demand remains constant only increase the profitability of drug trafficking. For addictive drugs like heroin, a spike in street prices leads desperate addicts to increase criminal activity to feed desperate habits. The drug war doesn’t fight crime, it fuels crime. Taxing and regulating marijuana, the most popular illicit drug, is a cost-effective alternative to the never-ending drug war. As long as marijuana distribution is controlled by organized crime, consumers will continue to come into contact with hard drugs like methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin. This “gateway” is a direct result of marijuana prohibition. Robert Sharpe, MPA Policy Analyst Common Sense for Drug Policy

Tom Fletcher manages to throw mud on public schools, minimum wage earners, anti-poverty advocates, and anyone opposed to corporate tax cuts all in one column. Perhaps he should change

his flagstaff from “BC Views” to “BC Right Wing Views” or simply spell out BC as Before Christ. Fletcher is right, however, to suggest that some people on the left tilt toward windmills and imagine that

money grows on trees. There is no answer to difficult issues like the minimum wage other than to consider the interests of both businesses and low income earners. Jim McMurtry

Board to consider status quo Will select from three versions of school calendar Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

night for considering a status quo option in the 2011-12 school calendar issue. DPAC chair Bud Loewen and acting vice-chair Rhonda Pauls said they appreciated that the board

added the option after all the delegations at a Feb. 21st board meeting opposed the proposed changes to the current calendar. The school district also received more than 1,500 responses

to a survey on the matter. “The feedback has been overwhelming ... the parents feel that is an excellent option you have given us,” Pauls said, referring to the latest proposal.

Councillors Les Barkman Simon Gibson Moe Gill Lynne Harris Dave F. Loewen Bill MacGregor Patricia Ross John G. Smith

Barry O’Neill, CUPE BC President Darlene Smith, CUPE Regional Vice-President Fraser Valley Region

Dear Mr. O’Neill and Mrs. Smith: RE: Privatization of Mission and Abbotsford’s Drinking Water It has recently come to our attention that your organization is circulating misleading and factually inaccurate information regarding the Stave Lake Water Supply and Development Project proposal being considered by Mission and Abbotsford Councils on April 4, 2011. It is our intention to publish this letter as an open letter to you and your organization in the newspapers. At no time has or will the District of Mission or the City of Abbotsford consider a proposal to privatize our water. The Councils are considering a proposal from the Abbotsford Mission Water Sewer Commission (AMWSC) for the Stave Lake Water Supply and Development Project to be delivered as a design-build-finance-operate (DBFO) public-privatepartnership. In this situation, the District of Mission and the City of Abbotsford will always retain ownership over the water, the plant and all of the assets involved in delivering water to Abbotsford and Mission. The Stave Lake Supply will augment the three other AMWSC water sources through an availability contract. The private contractor will be required to make water available to the AMWSC system when required by the AMWSC certified operators, who are also CUPE members. Through a strict Request for Qualifications and Request for Proposal process, only the design of the treatment plant, the financing for the project, the building of the facilities and the operation and maintenance of the plant would be available as opportunities for private business partners. The AMWSC will closely oversee the operations of the new plant, as well as set the standards for water quality that must be adhered to by the private operator ensuring stringent accountability for each deliverable so that high-quality standards are ensured throughout the life of the contract. The AMWSC will, on a weekly basis, inspect the plant to ensure compliance with all applicable operating standards. The Stave Lake water source is an additional water source for both communities that will supplement our existing water supply, and it will be treated for the sole purpose and use of the residents of Abbotsford and Mission, as directed by the AMWSC. The AMWSC will always retain ultimate control over the water and the water system as it currently does. We strongly encourage you to educate your members and invite you to meet with us at any time to ask any questions you or your membership may have regarding this project. Yours s truly,

The new option maintains the current calendar, including a two-week spring break in March and a Christmas break that is aligned with the rest of the province. It also continues to have an additional eight minutes added to each elementary school day and nine minutes at the secondary level. That version will now be considered against the previous proposal, which calls for moving spring break to April, holding Christmas break later, and removing the extra minutes from each school day, resulting in six additional instructional days at an approximate cost of $409,000. Also still an option is the ministry of education’s standard calendar, which offers a one-week spring vacation. A year ago, the Abbotsford board of education voted for a one-week break, but reversed the decision after public outcry. Monday’s meeting was open to delegations to speak on the school calendar issue, but DPAC was the only one to appear. The board of education will vote April 18 on which of the three calendars it will adopt. The meeting, which is open to the public, starts at 7:30 p.m. at the school district office, 2790 Tims St. The public has until 3 p.m. on April 8 to respond to an online survey or to make a written submission. More details are available at the school district website, sd34. bc.ca.

Empowering youth Ashley WRAY Abbotsford News

Listen up Abbotsford, because these teens want to be heard. Four local students have created Abbotsford 9 (A9), a group hoping to provide insight into the issues that face today’s youth. During a forum later this month, to be attended by students from every local high school, they’re going to draft a declaration identifying topics that need to be given some serious thought and attention by the community. The issues will include drug use, the efficiency of public transit and creating a sustainable environment. Ryan Bae, a Grade 12 student at MEI Secondary, is the executive director of the group. He is joined

by operations manager Alex Plenits, program co-ordinator Victoria McMillan and administrative assistant Jina Choi. According to Bae, they aspire to promote youth engagement, community involvement and volunteerism. “Many think it’s our job to study and

have fun, and that we should let adults think about community matters and voting,” said Bae. “But as long as we’re willing to speak and the community is willing to listen, we are able to overcome misconceptions and be empowered.” Bae was inspired to create the group following last year’s G8

summit which was held in Canada. He’s hoping this will be the force that brings everyone in the community together. The name reflects their belief that students should start considering community involvement by Grade 9, at the latest. The group is cur-

rently accepting applications from students who want to take part in the summit as delegates. The students will need to be nominated by their school and apply by Friday, April 8. In early April there will be a short orientation to gather information and exchange ideas. The summit will take place on Thursday, April 21 and will be a full-day event. Community members, including Mayor George Peary and MP Ed Fast, will be in attendance. The event is being endorsed by city council, the school district and several other community organizations. During the summit, the students will compose the declaration, which, according to A9’s website, will be similar to the Canadian Charter of

Rights and Freedoms. While it won’t list specific solutions to the topics it addresses, it will project longterm goals and practical methods to finding potential solutions. Some of the issues they hope to tackle include dealing with peer pressure, promoting safe driving and increasing involvement in athletic and music programs. They also want to discuss a better form of co-ordination between government branches to more efficiently exchange ideas, and correcting stereotypes between public and private schools. Bae hopes to see the final declaration hanging on the walls of city hall, in libraries and incorporated into public areas. He also plans to turn A9 into an annual event, where students will review the changes that have taken place since the last meeting.

Ten-year-old Kaitlyn Reist is looking to raise funds to help send herself and other kids to summer camp.

Kaitlynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal Ten-year-old Kaitlyn Reist loves summer camp. Specifically, she loves the Christian-based Foursquare Kids Camp in Columbia Valley near Cultus Lake. And this year, she wants to help others experience its wacky hair day and outdoor hikes. Reist is holding a fundraising garage sale on Sunday, May 8 to assist those who

canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford the camp fees. Her goal is to pay for herself, as she turned down financial sponsorship to allow another child to have it, and at least three others. Currently, she is collecting donated items to sell. The sale will also feature a raffle draw with giveaways from local businesses. For more information call 604-866-3080.

Our guys have spent their professional careers magically running cable in places where others say it’s impossible. And they do it without creating large gaping holes in your walls, so there’s never extensive “surprise” patching needed. I can tell you from experience, that 99.9% of electricians do not have this same track record. Most electrical contractors are clueless about snaking wires professionally, because the majority of their work is in new homes, before the drywall goes up. Let one of them (or the cable TV guy) run wiring in your home, and they’ll most likely staple it along a baseboard (ugly and unprofessional) or punch a hole in your wall, causing you, additional, inconvenience and expense in repairs and repainting. On the other hand, our guys are masters at hiding wires in your walls.

For all your home’s electrical service, repairs or installations, call the company you can trust. Your safety, security and peace of mind are always our priority.

You have likely read about, heard of or even personally experienced the widespread effects of posting a photo, video or a comment on social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace, YouTube, or Twitter. When you put yourself “out there,” the information becomes public, not only to your friends and family, but to others. Privacy settings can’t always protect you. In some instances, prospective employers may look on your site to see what kind of lifestyle you lead. As well, if you are involved in some sort of litigation, both your lawyer and the lawyer on the other side of your case will have very different reasons for wanting to know what you have been up to. Recent decisions from B.C. courts highlight these issues. In 2009, the Supreme Court determined that one plaintiff had an “inflated view” of her injuries from a motor vehicle accident. She testified that she could no longer kayak, hike or bicycle, but photos were produced by the defendant from the plaintiff ’s own Facebook page showing her doing these very activities. The plaintiff was seeking $40,000 in damages, but was awarded only $3,500 for her “pain and suffering.” In 2010, a 22-year-old man sued a number of parties for three separate accidents: one in a shop class when he was 14, the next a motor vehicle accident when he was struck in a crosswalk at age 15, and a third at age 19 when he was in another motor vehicle accident. The Supreme Court reviewed evidence which showed videos of the plaintiff winning a limbo contest at his graduation celebration, and Facebook photos of him playing football, sitting curled up in a clothes-dryer, kneeling on an inner tube while being towed behind a boat and other activities without apparent

and other crimes. “Many Voices, Many Paths” is the theme of this year’s National Victims of Crime Awareness Week. For more information about the local event, call the Abbotsford Youth Commission at 604-854-8785. For details about the national awareness week, visit the website victimsweek.gc.ca.

Wrestling prodigy Dhinsa, 17, wins senior national title Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Ask Sunny Dhinsa what it’s like to win a senior national wrestling title at the age of 17, and he’ll profess a certain amount of surprise. At this point, though, Abbotsford wrestling observers are hardly astonished at the heavyweight prodigy’s exploits. Last year, at the age of 16, Dhinsa won national gold in the junior (20-and-under) age class. This year, he’s once again showcasing a penchant for arriving ahead of schedule. At the national championships in Edmonton last weekend, Dhinsa collected a trio of medals in the 120 kilogram division:

gold in the senior Greco-Roman and the junior freestyle, and silver in the senior freestyle. The podium finishes in the open senior divisions are particularly impressive, given that Dhinsa is still in his senior year at W.J. Mouat Secondary. “Junior, I thought I had a good chance to win,” said Dhinsa. “But I figured senior would be kind of a bloodbath. I’d never wrestled at that level before, and everyone’s good.” Dhinsa’s read on the competition was accurate, to an extent. After breezing to a second consecutive junior title, he did indeed find his open-division opponents to be much tougher. The thing is, he won anyway. The Greco-Roman discipline, which forbids holds below the

waist, is relatively new for Dhinsa. He began training for it to take advantage of his impressive upper-body strength, and in the national final, he defeated Charles Thoms of the Black Bear Wrestling Club from Fredricton, N.B. In the senior freestyle event, Dhinsa dropped a hard-fought decision to Arjan Bhullar in the final. There’s no shame in that defeat – Bhullar, a Richmond product, won gold at the Commonwealth Games last year, and he came within a whisker of qualifying for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. “We actually train together out of Burnaby Mountain (wrestling club), and as a kid growing up, I always watched Continued on A26

Midget girls win B.C.’s

A quartet of Abbotsford players helped the Langley Lightning win the provincial midget AAA female hockey championship in Windermere Valley last week. The Lightning, who feature locals Samantha Rogers, Laura McPhedran, Samantha Schwarz and Rae-Ann McCarthy, went 3-1-1 in the round robin, with victories over Kamloops, Nanaimo and the host Windermere Valley squad.

In the final, Langley edged Richmond 3-2, with McPhedran scoring one of the Lightning goals. The Abbotsford players suited up for Langley this season because the Abbotsford Female Hockey Association did not host a midget rep team. “To win was just incredible,” Lightning coach Vince Nelles said. “I don’t think there was a girl who wasn’t crying; just a huge embrace and a hug.” The Lightning victory was

all the more impressive considering they attended the tourney with just 10 skaters and one goalie. Q The Abbotsford Female Hockey Association is hosting a registration session on Wednesday, April 6. The event runs from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at MSA Arena. The AFHA is accepting registrations for players aged five to 18.

ally quick and I’m competing against the best in Canada already.” By Mouat wrestling coach Jim Mitchell’s count, Dhinsa’s double-gold performance last week boosts his number of national titles in various age classes to nine. “He’s ranked No. 2 overall in Canada in his weight class, and for a kid who’s 17 going on 18, that’s pretty amazing,” Mitchell said. Dhinsa’s stellar performance last week ensured he’ll be traveling extensively on behalf of Team Canada in the coming months. In May, he’ll attend the Pan American senior championships in Rionegro, Colombia. In July, he’s off to Bucharest, Romania for the junior worlds. Dhinsa believes he could medal at both events. “I know I’m as strong

as some of those guys, and I might even be stronger than most of them,” he said. “It’s just the experience part of it – they’ve got more than me. But this is how I gain experience, so it should be good.” The Phulka brothers, Chanmit and Jasmit, also excelled at nationals. Chanmit, a Rick Hansen Secondary grad, won the 96 kg junior title. Younger brother Jasmit, a senior at Hansen, took silver in the highly competitive 74 kg junior division. Chanmit Phulka will join Dhinsa on Canada’s entry at the junior worlds, while Jasmit will wear the maple leaf at the PanAm junior championships. On the womens’ side, Abbotsford’s Nikkie Brar finished fourth in the junior 51 kg class.

Heat still thinking playoffs

A29

Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Heat are responding to their precarious position in the playoff race in a manner that recalls Jim Carrey’s character from the comedy flick Dumb and Dumber. Told by a winsome lass that his chances of ending up with her were no more than one in a million, Carrey’s face lit up: “So you’re sayin’ there’s a chance!” The Heat’s playoff prospects, in comparison to the odds Carrey was quoted, aren’t nearly so bleak. They are, however, rather unfavourable. In the wake of a pair of midweek losses to the Hamilton Bulldogs, Abbotsford’s AHLers find themselves spinning their wheels in sixth place in the North Division, nine points in arrears of Hamilton for the division’s third and final guaranteed post-season spot. With just seven games left in the regular season, the gap is wide and time is short. According to the website sportsclubstats. com, the Heat were just a 2.5 per cent longshot to qualify for the Calder Cup playoffs heading into Friday’s home-ice tilt with the Grand Rapids Griffins. (That score was unavailable at press time.) But a chance, however slim, is still a chance, and it seems unlikely that there

They’ve got great character, and they’re really committed to being a team that prides itself in trying to outwork the opposition.” Q Playfair had high praise for Carter Bancks, who returned to the Heat lineup last week after missing a total of 51 games due to a concussion. The gritty rookie forward has three points over his past four outings. “If we’d had Carter Bancks all along . . . we’d probably be first in our division,” Playfair said. “He’s that much of an impact player.”

OBITUARIES

DICK Mary & Henry

de JONG Sieds (Sid) Feb. 24. 1925 ~ March 26, 2011

In Loving Memory After a brief hospitalization, Sid passed away peacefully of congestive heart failure at Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Born in Eastermar, Friesland, the Netherlands, Sid married Folkertje (Fay) de Vries in 1948 and with nothing, but $100 in his pocket, they immigrated two weeks later to Canada. Sid worked at Dairyland for 22 years before retiring in 1987. He enjoyed his cabin at Cultas Lake, his hobby farm and tinkering in his shed during his 24 years of retirement. There was nothing he could not ﬁx. He will be greatly missed by his wife Fay of 63 years, whom he adored, and his four children: Jeanette and Andy Zandberg, Peter, Gary (Tracy) and Marie and Glenn Johnson; his grandchildren: Lisa (Kent) Novakowski, Sean (Jenya) Zandberg, Nicole Zandberg, Jennifer Zandberg and Brittany, Devin and Carlee Johnson; great-grandchildren; Hailey Monroe, Shaynah, Caleb and Christopher Novakowski, Madelyn Zandberg and Liam Zandberg. All who remember Dad will remember his love of telling stories of his past, every detail remembered even eightysome years later. And we loved to listen - now, it is too quiet. We love you Dad. No service by request.

At three months of age, his parents brought him home to Vancouver and introduced him to his large extended family. When David was eight, his family moved from Port Moody to Abbotsford where David attended school till his graduation from Abbotsford Senior Secondary in 1991. David was a proud member of the Abby Panthers basketball team and the Abbotsford Whalers Swim Club. David received his BHKIN and BEd from UBC and worked as head lifeguard at the University Aquatic Centre. David taught in Vancouver where he coached basketball teams at Windermere, and this past year at Kitsilano Secondary. In 1999 David married Laura Austin and started the family that became the centre of his life. David was a proud and loving father and spent hours at the hockey rink or baseball diamond, supporting his children in their various activities. David leaves a great gap in the life of his wife, Laura Treloar (nee Austin), his three children, Austin, 6, Michaelie, 5 and Aiden, 3. Also mourning the loss of David is his father, D. Michael Treloar; mother Leona Treloar (Rick Johnson); brother Jonathan Treloar (Amber Elderkin); Jonathan’s sons Hudson and Ryland Treloar; grandmothers, Elizabeth Treloar, and Helen Borne and his numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces and friends.

David Edward Holmberg January 9, 1963 – March 30, 2011 Surrounded by family, David Holmberg Jr. lost a courageous and arduous battle with cancer March 30th, 2011. Born January 9, 1963, David moved to Abbotsford with his family in 1975, attending Centennial Park Elementary, Abbotsford Junior Secondary and graduating from Abbotsford Senior Secondary School. Throughout his 16-month struggle, David was given strength by his loving wife Wanda, who was ‘his rock’ during his many challenges, son Christopher, daughter Maddison and parents Dave and Lee Holmberg. Also mourning his passing are brother Phil and wife Michelle with nephews Phillip and Nicholas; sister Dee, brother-in-law Dr. Ross Gorrell and nephew Jonathan; brother Dr. Michael Hardie, sister-in-law Marina and niece Meredith; in-laws Allan and Judy Erickson of Maple Ridge, and sister-in-law Erica. David was a strong, athletic, fun-loving, caring and giving father, son, brother who, with his unique and winning smile, had a powerful impact on thousands of people in our community and across the nation. David was an exceptional athlete, beginning in Little League baseball, minor hockey, tennis, swimming, golf, skiing, racquetball and biking. He was also an all-star with the Bradner Generals slo-pitch team. David excelled at running, and participated in marathons and Ironman competitions throughout British Columbia, always running for charitable purposes. In business he was also a star, and his sales and management skills were significant in the great success achieved by the family business – Bobcat Country Inc. David will long be remembered by all who knew him, from childhood friends to business leaders within our community and throughout North America. The family is deeply indebted to the caring staff of the Cancer Clinic and Palliative Care Unit of Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre, and particularly to Dr. Stuart Brown.

Christine Helen Lamb Christine Helen Lamb, passed away on Tuesday, March 15, 2011 at Christine Morrison Hospice, Mission, age 79 yrs. She was the daughter of Harold and Jean (Robertson) Laughton, born in Edmonton, Alberta, August 1931. She was predeceased by her parents, her son Robert (1984), her husband George (1996), and her sisters Margaret (2007) and Jeanette (2011). She is survived by her son Gordon (Vicki), grandson Wesley and granddaughter Julia; Robert’s children, grandson Christopher; grandson Bradley (Shannon) and her great grandchildren, Mary Jane and Alexander; sisters Norma (Chris) Main, brother-in-law Jim Hoskins, brother Don (Donna) Laughton; cousins, nieces, nephews, and many good friends. She attended Queen Elizabeth High School after the family moved to Surrey, B.C. in 1943; followed by two years at Commercial College. George, Christine and their two sons moved to Bradner in 1966. Love for her family was always evident, entertaining loved ones at holiday and birthday celebrations. She was loving and generous with her children and grandchildren. While at times strict, their happiness and well-being was her paramount concern. She was an avid letter writer, keeping in touch with family and friends around the world. Genealogy was a particular interest and she researched and documented several branches of the family tree, especially the Laughton, Mallaby, Robertson, McInnes and Lamb families. Other hobbies included traveling, bridge, reading, creative writing and socializing. Although she achieved a successful forty year career in the business world, she also made time for volunteering. She was involved with many of her sons’ activities during their juvenile years – school, sports, Cubs and Scouts. She is a life member of the Bradner Community Club; the MSA Museum Society; and the Abbotsford Genealogical Society; past member of Soroptimist; and volunteered with the Matsqui Centennial Society, Western Canada Summer Games, Operation Red Nose, and chair of the Abbotsford Coat of Arms design committee (1995). She was also a member of Abb. Probus, Abb. Genealogical Society, Abby Writers, and the committee that recently compiled and published “Alphabetically Abbotsford”. She was a Director with the Abbotsford Community Foundation for several years, holding positions of Vice-President, and Chair of the Scholarship & Bursary and Nomination committees. She was the only woman elected to Matsqui Council during its 102 years of incorporation, serving for ten years as Councillor; also Chair of the Recreation Commission, Director of the Fraser Valley Regional District; GVRD; MSA Hospital & Menno Hospital Boards; Union of B.C. Municipalities; and President of the Lower Mainland Municipal Association. Although the lone female voice at the Council table, she became a skilled deliberator among her male colleagues. She was extremely honoured to be presented with the Order of Abbotsford and named Citizen of the Year in 2010. The family wishes to thank the dedicated staff at the Abbotsford Hospital and Cancer Centre, Home Caregivers, Dr. Do, Dr. Schellenberg, and Dr. Tan. Special thanks to her long time family physician, Dr. Barbara Fischer; and also her many friends for their kindness and care through the past few months. The courteous assistance of Dr. Potter and Dr. Quan and all the staff at the Christine Morrison Hospice, provided her with much needed comfort during her Ànal days, A memorial tea will be held, April 14, 2011 at 1:00 p.m., at the Bradner Community Hall, 5305 Bradner Road, Abbotsford. No Áowers please. Donations to the Abbotsford Canuck Place or Abbotsford Hospice Society capital projects; or the Abbotsford Community Foundation Administration Fund will be appreciated.
