Third-generation daffodil farmer Dean Warmerdam picks the bright blooms from the family farm on Bradner Road. “With the mild winter this year the colours were very vibrant,” he said. They started picking on Feb. 17 and have picked about five million flowers. The spring flowers will be the star of the 85th Bradner Flower Show. See story on page A13.

YMCA plan in Abby shelved CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

review of the city’s finances and a scarcity of senior parks administrators led to delaying a proposed $35-million YMCA recreation facility in Abbotsford, but the proponents can’t say when or if the project will be resumed. The City of Abbotsford and the Vancouver YMCA signed a memorandum of understanding about two years ago to build an activity centre on the former MSA General Hospital site on McCallum Road. The city also agreed in principle to contribute up to $17.5 million for capital costs. Parks manager Mark Taylor championed the project, but he died last month in a skiing accident. Additionally, Rick Daykin,

another senior parks director, left his job last fall. He added that as the new city manager, “I’m afforded the “We have a capacity issue at (parks, recreation and culture). opportunity to take a step back and look at the overall finanThe top leadership is all acting positions.

Observatory will provide views into space, stars, planets

who is also the chairman for the 2014 B.C. Winter Games to be held in Mission. The main floor will have computers that will be linked to live sites at NASA and other international observers, and to the telescope in the roof dome so people can observe in warm comfort, he said. Antonson also envisions having radio scopes that could pick up waves from the Milky Way, planets like Jupiter, and “out there.” Antonson got the astronomy bug a few years ago when he attended a stargazing night on the University of the Fraser Valley grounds and met Paul Greenhalgh of the Fraser Valley Astronomy Association.

CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

targazers in the Fraser Valley will soon be able to focus in on Andromeda and other heavenly entities at an amateur observatory planned for Mission’s Fraser River Heritage Park. The future observatory will feature a high-end amateur telescope and several other viewing scopes for use by school kids, astronomy buffs and the general public. The only other observatory in the Lower Mainland so far is the H.R. McMillan facility in Vancouver. “We want to make astronomy popular and draw people from around the valley. I want to have a community of observers,” said Brian Antonson, the enthusiastic force behind the project and a member of the Mission Heritage Association, which manages the park. On Tuesday, Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton said the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development will provide $100,000 for what he called a “shovel-ready project.” “It was a well-prepared plan. I saw a lot of value in it for the region. I’m really excited,” said Dalton. The project also received a $20,000 legacy grant from the Sunrise Rotary Club of Mission, and the MHA had $20,000 saved for a project, said Antonson. The next steps are to complete the building design and obtain permits, and to continue fundraising. The observatory will sit just east of the Norm Kenney House to take advantage of the broad view of the sky. It will have a 40 x 40 foot main floor with a 48 x 48 foot flat deck on top, with one quarter of that space taken up by a dome that will house a highend amateur telescope, like ones used in universities. While he’s hoping for volunteer and in-kind support to get the building up, most of the funds raised will go into the technology, said Antonson,

Police warn of crossing tracks

ere’s another good reason not to cross railway tracks when the warning lights are flashing. The Abbotsford Police report that on March 7 at about noon, the driver of a commercial van drove through the crossing arms at Vye Road just as they were descending. The top of the van clipped off one of the crossing arms, but otherwise

the driver got through unscathed. But he didn’t get away. It turns out his ‘hit and run’ was caught on video. The railway security video shows two cars crossing the tracks despite flashing warning lights and bells. Apparently the commercial truck driver decided that he would attempt the same despite being farther back and having more advanced warning to stop, said Const. Ian Macdonald. Officers tracked down the driver later in the day.

Although “technically it was a hit and run,” said Macdonald, the driver received a ticket for undue care and attention and a fine for $368, six points on his licence and was held responsible for the damage. Serendipitously, the APD recently created a short educational video about road safety at railway crossings, and what not to do. A clip of the errant driver is included. You can view it at youtu.be/ r4WHIvMsrr8. – CHRISTINA TOTH/TIMES

He saw Saturn’s coloured and shimmering rings for the first time through a scope and was amazed. He hopes to create that kind of wonder at the Mission observatory. “I just know what happens when you create the ‘wow.’ It was jaw-dropping. That’s the kind of thing that gets people excited,” he said. The park, with its elevation and unimpeded views of the night sky, makes for a perfect dark sky park. Antonson, who was one of the early members of the heritage association that saved the park from development, said the observatory fits in with the park board’s educational mandate. “We aim to become more of a learning centre at the park.” He believes schools will be eager to bring students here – he’s already had inquiries from a neighbouring school district – and he’d love to see the University of the Fraser Valley get involved. Anyone interested in donating to the cause, sponsoring a computer or a telescope, can call park manager Don Brown at 604-826-0277.

Toddler falls out window A two-year-old girl is lucky to be injury-free after falling from a twostorey window at her Abbotsford home 11:30 p.m. Saturday. The child was playing hide and seek with two older siblings and a friend at the McKinley Drive home. The child’s father was looking after the kids. Police believe the mother was at work. The little girl landed on the lawn and was taken to the hospital. She was released Sunday with no apparent injury.

Heritage comes alive CAP%S norco.com

anadian history came alive at a regional heritage fair in Abbotsford on April 9-10. More than 1,200 students from six Fraser Valley school districts participated in their own school’s heritage fair during the past three months. From that group, 150 students were selected to participate at the 17th annual Fraser Valley Regional Heritage Fair, sponsored by the MSA Museum Society and held at Tradex in Abbotsford. “Students have chosen projects that reflect some aspect of Canadian history and will be judged on their project display, their oral presentation and their ability to share what they have learned through the research of their chosen heritage/history topic,” said Cindy Rowell, co-ordinator of the heritage fair. “This regional heritage fair is part of a national initiative to encourage youth to celebrate Canada’s history and heritage. Every year I am amazed at the wide variety of topics, and the excitement and enthusiasm that students have as they share their research information at the heritage fair,” she added Students had their projects reviewed and adjudicated by

Gipps goes from Mission to FVRD

Buckle in your babies

Candidates BBQ, ride this weekend

Paul Gipps, the current deputy chief administrative officer for the District of Mission, will be the new chief administrative officer at the Fraser Valley Regional District starting on May 6. Chilliwack’s Mayor Sharon Gaetz, who is also the FVRD’s chairwoman, made the announcement on Tuesday. Gipps’ appointment comes after the resignation of former CAO George Murray, who is now the city manager’s at the City of Abbotsford. Murray filled the post left vacant by Frank Pizzuto, who resigned in mid-December. Gipps has more than 22 years of experience in local government. Prior to his current position at the District of Mission, Gipps held CAO positions at the District of Houston and the Town of Gibsons in addition to holding other local government positions elsewhere in the province. Gipps’ broad local government background and experience working in smaller rural communities, as well as his experience working in larger urban centres provides him with a solid foundation for taking on this vital leadership role at the FVRD, said Gaetz in her release. “He brings an awareness and understanding of the many opportunities and unique challenges facing our region and he will be a strong advocate for the FVRD,” she wrote.

The Abbotsford Police Department and Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service launched their 2013 Buckle Your Babies campaign this week, starting with road checks on Blueridge Drive on Wednesday. Last year, APD officers checked more than 1,200 vehicles to ensure that proper seating and restraints for infants and young children were being used. The police hope to make more contacts during this year’s campaign to inspect vehicles and educate drivers. “We’ll be looking at any distracted driving issues, with special attention to vehicles with children,” said Const. Ian Macdonald. To view a brief educational video the APD produced for the Buckle Your Babies initiative, see http://youtu. be/RCC53fCSvOM.

An ambulance arrives on scene of an MVA at Peadonville and Townline roads on Tuesday morning. The two small pick-up trucks collided head-on with the rear wheel flying off the Toyota flat deck and the force of the accident sent a pallet and 2X4’s flying. The driver and passenger in the blue Dodge were not injured while the driver of the Toyota was looked at by paramedics at the scene.

A presentation by Mike Schouten, campaign director of WeNeedALaw.ca, a group that is pushing for discussion on the legal status of abortion in Canada, went ahead at the University of the Fraser Valley on Wednesday evening as planned. Schouten was expected to speak on ‘gendercide’ – the practice of aborting fetuses based on gender – and the need for a late-term abortion law. It appeared the event was cancelled by the university administration, prompting UFV’s prolife Life Link club to demand the university reverse its decision on the

Briefly talk, and what they said was censorship of the club’s antigendercide resources. However, UFV’s director of communications Leslie Courchesne said in an e-mail the club had not disclosed until late last week that the event included an external speaker and external advertising. UFV also learned that a protest in opposition to the speaker was planned. Due to the short notice, UFV did not have enough time to do a risk assessment to ensure the safety of the campus community and external visitors, said Courchesne.

Street racing along Highway 1 in a Porsche and two high-end BMW’s will be a costly ride for three young men, only one driver had a license and that was a learners according to police. Two of the drivers were 19 years-old and the other was 20 years-old. The RCMP Port Mann Traffic Services received several phone calls April 7 at 6:30 p.m. from concerned citizens, reporting that three highend vehicles were speeding and driving recklessly, along Highway 1 between Abbotsford and Langley. The vehicles were reported to be on Highway 1 between

Mt Lehman Rd. in Abbotsford and 264th Street in Langley, and were allegedly traveling between 130-160 km/hour. “We received reports that the vehicles were weaving through traffic and using the right hand shoulder to overtake other cars,” says Corporal Rob McDonald, of the Lower Mainland District Traffic Services “Of the three young male drivers only one was in possession of valid learner’s driver license; the other two drivers were unlicensed,” says Cpl. McDonald. All three vehicles were impounded for seven days and drivers were issued 15 days driving prohibitions and violation tickets.

Saving our wetlands T

wo Mission residents were awarded with Ducks Unlimited Canada’s Community Conservation Award Saturday for the grand impact they’ve had on their community. For years Jim and Terry Taylor have worked as a team dedicated to the sustainability of Silverdale Creek, adjoining wetlands and all the species that call it home. Since co-founding the Stave Valley Salmonid Enhancement Society 30 years ago, the Taylors, along with others, have supported and worked in co-operation with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to revitalize fish population in Silverdale Creek by operating a backyard hatchery. Over those 30 years they have helped release thousands of salmon into the creek and have witnessed the steady growth in returns to the creek. “It would be difficult to calculate the hours they have donated to this,” said Darren McDonald, chair of DUC Mission volunteer committee. “This Wetlands Conservation Award is very deserving.” Beyond just helping fish, the Taylors were instrumental in the creation of the Mission of Streams consortium

Jim and Terry Taylor received a conservation award for their tireless work preserving Silverdale Creek and the wetlands. that brought together several businesses and non-government organizations dedicated to environmental education and preservation in Mission. They also played a large role in the eventual partnership between the District of Mission, the DFO, and Ducks Unlimited Canada to purchase and rehabilitate Silverdale Creek wetlands. Restoration work began in 2007 and was completed in 2011 and included public access trails for residents. Education about the environment is also on their long list of achievements. As a teacher in an alternate school, Jim created an envi-

ronmental program, youths on his E-team contributed many hours of hands-on work at the wetlands while advancing their knowledge. Terry works with volunteers, teaching them about invasive plants and coordinates outings to replace those plants with native ones. “It is a very common sight to gaze into the wetlands from the highway and spot the two of them planting, weeding, wrapping wire around trees to outsmart the pesky beavers,” said McDonald. “But for them, education and communication is the most important goal of all.”

ll governments make a difference. Unfortunately with many the difference is negative. This possibility stands true for every level of governance in our society. Amazingly, there was a time when we were very trusting of our government. In 1965, American “trust” was 78 per cent and, using biennial surveys, recorded a phenomenal drop to only 28 per cent by 2006. Canadian “trust in government” was measured only a few times, and it went from 59 per cent in 1968 down to 29 per cent in 2006. Since 2000, national governments around the world are experiencing a collapse of trust superseded only by a loss of trust for global companies. Few people under the age of 60 will understand what it’s like to trust government to live within its means. Unfortunately, too many people are now practising the government’s model. We are the “entitlement generation.” Our nation’s government has a net debt around $663 billion. If we threw a loonie into the bin every second, it would take 31.7 years to pay off $1 billion, and 210 centuries to pay off this national debt. We are now in the 21st century and would be debt free by the 231st century, but this does not include the huge debts incurred by provinces and municipalities. Pity the Americans. At a “greenback” per second, it takes

JIM DUECK

Guest Column 317 centuries to pay $1 trillion, and with their debt of more than $16 trillion, it would take around 5,100 centuries. On a per capita basis, their national debt is three times bigger than Canada’s and rising. These numbers are well beyond our comprehension of course, so let’s get practical. If each federal taxpayer gave Canada a loonie every day just toward the national debt, we could pay it off in 47,357 days. With such a daily donation beyond our current taxes, we could be debtless in 133 years. Still nonsense. Giving government an extra 10 spot per day ($3,650 per year) means we could retire the national debt in just over 13 years. In other words, every taxpayer contributing $10 per day from the time a child begins kindergarten next September until she graduates in June, 2026 pays the debt. Make it $25 per day, and we’d be free of government debt at all levels and can concentrate on ridding our personal debt. The Conference Board of Canada calculated a loss in the Canadian standard of living at 12 per cent during the 1980s when

our politicians really showed us how to live beyond our means. During the 1990s it declined another 13 per cent. During those 20 years, to compensate for this decline, the number of workers per household rose from 1.2 to 1.75. Since 2000, many teens have increased their weekly hours in the workforce and we are now using ‘plastic’ to maintain our lifestyle. Between 1990 and 2008, Canada’s standard of living fell from fourth to ninth globally. Our children really have no concept of our legacy. When they do, they will not respect the generation that has shackled them to a downward lifestyle. People are careless with other people’s money, and our politicians will want to spend more to capture our next vote. Our message to them should be cut or face a cut. Governments make a difference. No wonder we have lost trust! Unfortunately the only way to make them accountable is to link debt reduction to their personal pay. The first overspent dollar comes from their wallet. From my experience, it works.

his week is Emergency Service Dispatchers’ and 9-1-1 Awareness Week. It’s a mouthful - and while it may take half the week to say the name out loud, the fact is the reasoning behind the designation - to recognize the people who take those 9-1-1 calls that we all fervently hope we’ll never have to make - is every bit worth the time and effort to remember. Part of the awareness the emergency dispatchers would like to pass along involves a number of myths that can make their work (and their ability to save your life in time of need) more difficult. One involves finding you in times of trouble: contrary to popular belief, if you dial 9-1-1 from a cellphone, the dispatch centre cannot automatically zero in on your location. Unlike land-line phones, cellular devices only provide general location information. You’ve got to tell the dispatcher who answers your call where you are. Some folks believe the best thing to do if you accidentally dial 9-1-1 is to quickly hang up. Not so! Clear the decks by letting them know it was an accident. Otherwise, they’ll expend extra effort trying to find you effort the next caller may really need. On that note, the call takers would rather you didn’t pre-program 9-1-1 into your phone. Dialing three digits is not onerous, even in an emergency – and so-called “pocket dialing” from pre-programmed numbers constitutes the bulk of accidental, timewasting calls that dispatchers receive. Another source of wasted time is from people who let kids play with old cellphones. Decommissioned phones maintain emergency 9-1-1 access – that’s for your safety, not for your kids to fool with. Those 9-1-1 dispatchers are trained to help get you through an emergency. The more help they get from you, the better they can do their jobs. Learn more at www.ecomm911.ca.

Independents will make election interesting Editor, the Times:

This is the first B.C. election campaign in which independent candidates are receiving as much attention from political pundits as party MLAs. In Abbotsford South, John van Dongen’s bid for re-election is already one of the most widely watched campaigns in the province. Other independent candidates under the media microscope include Vicki Huntington, Delta South, Bob Simpson, Cariboo North and Arthur Hadland, Peace River North. Somewhat under the provincial radar but a determined competitor is independent Moe Gill, Abbotsford West. Incumbent MLAs have earned positive attention by diligence on behalf of constituents and by speaking strongly against detrimental provincial policies and practices. The independents’ most significant contribution may be their democratic reform agenda, a collaborative effort they hope will lead to more openness and transparency in government. The intent of its six proposals is the revitalization of democracy in B.C. The independents have

Will voters deviate from the usual practice of supporting party politicians or will they reward the independents? This may be the most intriguing question concerning the upcoming election.

has as much right as any other group to express its views. That right lies at the heart of freedom. Concerning the question, namely, whether any or all religious groups should be allowed to make religious literature available free of charge for students whose parents have authorized them to receive it, we do well to consider the views of some wise and highly acclaimed leaders. “The whole purpose of religion is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility and forgiveness,” said the Dalai Lama. “Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind,” was the opinion of Albert Einstein, who is generally regarded as probably the most brilliant scientist of the 20th century. And the widely esteemed U.S. president, Theodore Roosevelt asserted that, “A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.” Given the choice, I would

No problem with Gideons in schools Editor, the Times:

Re: Times, Hoping and praying, March 28 In his letter in the Times, March 28, reader Kevin Francis, in discussing the question of whether the Gideons should be allowed to make Bibles or new testaments available to students, raises an important question: “Why then do we let politicians be influenced by [a] religious lobby?” The basic answer is that in a free society any legal interest or pressure group has the right to present its views and requests to those who make the laws. A religious group or an atheist group

place my trust in the views of the Dalai Lama, Einstein and Roosevelt rather than in Kevin Francis, but I will vigorously defend Kevin’s right to express his views. John Redekop Abbotsford

Immorality is why there’s so much crime Editor, the Times:

Re: Times, Hoping and praying March 28 Mr. Francis got it wrong when he stated in his letter that giving Bibles to kids is harmful. He also alludes that Jesus Christ is an imaginary friend and that the Bible is fictional. Mr. Francis seems to have a lot of issues with teaching morality and truth. And although he has the right to freedom of speech, he does not have the right to interfere in the decision made by the Chilliwack School District in allowing Gideon to distribute bibles in schools. One more thing Mr. Francis got wrong about Canada

and Canadian politics: Canada was founded upon Christian principles. Don’t believe me? Just read the preamble of the Charter of Rights: “Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law.” Even our laws are founded upon the Mosaic laws. And, yes, Moses did see a burning bush. Mr. Francis needs to realize that everything in the Bible is fact and truth. His lack of belief in the Bible doesn’t make the Bible a fiction, nor Jesus an imaginary person. Immorality is the reason why there is so much crime. Who do you want in office? A person who bases his or her political decisions on Christian principles? Or a person who lacks morality and prefers to give more rights to trees, grass, ground and animals of all sorts?

However I do question your remark about the ‘honesty of the speaker.’ It looks like you are among those who, like Mr. Harper, are scared that the abortion issue will come up again, comparing it with “a can of worms most Canadians are thankful has had the lid screwed on it.” I’d like to challenge you to prove that statement, I for one do not belong to those Canadians. That the abortion issue is like a can of worms, indeed, if not opened the issue will never be dealt with and there is a need for a law. Many Canadians and not only Christians support defending life from the beginning to the end and if Mr. Warawa is among those politicians who can not represent their constituents in the Conservative Party, they should join the Christian Heritage Party.

IPL Q & A Q: I have noticed that my skin is looking dull and

I even have some sun spots that have appeared. What can I do? A: Over the years sun damage causes us to have broken capillaries and sun spots which can make us look 10 years older. We have various ways to improve skin texture and tone. We can start by using a combination of physician grade treatment products which include Vitamin A, hydroquinone and sunblock as well as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). Usually 3 – 5 treatments are necessary. If you are interested in a more aggressive treatment we can combine physician grade products, IPL and Fraxel laser – the combination will enhance each others results. You will need to continue protecting yourself from the sun and use sunblocks, hats and sunglasses to maintain the results.

“At the city’s request, the project was delayed,’ – Butz YMCA, from page A1 As for the status of the memorandum of understanding between Abbotsford and the Vancouver Y, Murray said it was premature for the city to comment. He would have to speak with Vancouver YMCA president Stephen Butz before the city would comment publicly. The news that the project was on hold came at the public council meeting on Monday, when Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman read a letter from Butz. Butz’ letter, dated March 28, expressed condolences to the community on Taylor’s passing. In light of Taylor’s death, the letter contin-

ued, “we fully recognize the need for flexibility given the capacity issues Mr. Murray now faces. “In the coming days, we will work with his office to develop a revised critical path consistent with the mutual respect and understanding which has underpinned our work together over the past two years,” Butz wrote. In a later phone interview, Butz said the decision to postpone was made together with the city. “At the city’s request, the project was delayed indefinitely until such time they wish to re-engage. We will be happy to continue,” he said. Butz said his organization is committed to Abbotsford and committed to expanding in the Lower Mainland, where it already has 145 sites. Butz said the YMCA would be releasing further comments later this week.

The event commemorates 75 years of honouring pioneers in Abbotsford. All descendants of MSA pioneer families and residents of 40 years are invited to attend and enjoy an evening with friends and share stories.

God administers justice; His son paid for our sins S

ome time ago my tool kit, worth about $1,000, was stolen from the back of my pick-up truck. That was my sixth experience of break-and-enter in 20 years, three of them being at home, three in vehicles. Nobody was hurt and the only results of the thefts have been inconvenience, payment of insurance deductibles and the loss of some possessions of high sentimental value. Even the tool kit had some sentimental items, such as my Navy-issue pliers that have served me for 50 years. I had to wrestle with temptation when I went to Rona and Canadian Tire to select tools, comparable to those I lost, for the insurance claim. It would have been so easy to choose a $200 cordless drill to replace my $120 model. Then there’s the frustration of having to lock everything and hide my possessions from the eyes of thieving opportunists. I don’t like this because I’m one who sees the best in people. (I’m naïve and my exposure to the world of criminals is very limited. I

wouldn’t recognize marijuana if I saw it or smelled it). I suppose my view of crime would be much more focussed if I, or someone close to me, was on the receiving end of violence. That’s not the case, however, as I have so far escaped such horror. What then am I to make of a question that arises in my mind almost every time I read the newspaper? I ask myself where I stand on issues of justice. I read of offenders who are convicted of violent crimes and given sentences that are considered far too lenient. People I respect are vocal in their disagreement with such judgements. But there are also people I respect who work in rehabilitation and they hold different views. So who’s right? Well I don’t know where that line should be drawn but I have a clearer picture when it comes to the justice of God. The Bible doesn’t concentrate on crime, but on sin. It says that all of us are born with sinful natures that put self first We all are guilty of committing sins, which means

doing wrong. And the Bible makes it clear that there are some absolute rights and wrongs. God administers justice and that calls for all sin to be punished. The wages of sin is death. But God is love and love covers a multitude of sins. The end product of this conundrum is that every one of us deserves to die but God provides a way for us to escape at least the spiritual part of death. The way is through Jesus Christ. Our bodies here on earth are subject to decay and they will die sooner or later. But – and this is a big but – our spirits, souls, personalities and individual characteristics have an opportunity to live on in paradise forever. The only thing necessary to qualify for this infinite gift is to accept it. The hard part for some people is to acknowledge that God exists, that they are sinners deserving death and that the due punishment for their sins was paid for by the death of Jesus. Is that justice, or what? ■ Michael Kerry is a pastor at Transform Central Church.

Bradner celebrates daffs and more this weekend E

ighty-five years and the annual Bradner Flower Show will be blooming brighter than ever on April 12-14 in rural Abbotsford. The annual extravaganza of spring flowers – daffodils, tulips and more – also celebrates local food, celebrity chefs, arts and crafts and nursery vendors and the spirit of the historic agricultural community. This year’s event will officially open at 2 p.m. on Friday, honouring two of the area’s pioneers, brothers Les and Richie Fatkin, whose father Fenwick started the show in 1928. B.C. Minister of Finance and the MLA for Abbotsford West Mike de Jong will there, along with Richard Bullock, chairman of the Agricultural Land Commission, who will share a few words regarding agriculture in the area. Back by popular demand are daily presentations from local wineries and chefs, including cake decorating tips from Bradner’s Kerry Proudfoot on Sunday. Well seasoned owner and chef Angie Quaale, a regular on Global TV, will be joined

by chef Adrian Beaty of Seasonal Experience on Saturday. Don’t miss Saturday’s fashion show at 2 p.m., with the theme the ‘daffodil is always in fashion.’ Bradner Community Hall will be filled the scent of blooms and extravagant floral artistry displays, created by local florists vying for a $1,000 first prize, plus hundreds of varieties of daffodils and narcissus. The organizers promise some incredible and innovative designs. At the outdoor market, visitors can purchase crafts, cut flowers, bulbs, perennials and shrubs on sale at well below retail prices from local growers who do not normally sell to the public. Proceeds from the sale of cut daffs go to the Canadian Cancer Society. The tearoom in the hall is open for those who work up an appetite. Admission is just $2. The flower show takes place at Bradner Hall, 5305 Bradner Rd., Abbotsford. For details call 604-856-8441 or go to www.facebook.com/bradnerhall to see the full schedule. – CHRISTINA TOTH/TIMES

ts story reads like a tragic tale, but there may yet be a happy ending. But for now dance lovers, despite rumours of its demise, the Kelowna Ballet will present Passages at Mission’s Clarke Foundation Theatre on April 16 for what may be a final performance. The evening may be bittersweet, however, as it may be the last night the dancers from this small, young and impressive company perform together, said Pam Alexis, who brought the show to Mission. Although the company was not in financial trouble, its outgoing board of directors decided to fold the 10-year-old contemporary ballet because it was worried about remaining financially stable. The sad news soon permeated the dance world earlier this year, but there was a huge outpouring of support and now with an entire new board in place, there is hope that Ballet Kelowna will keep dancing, said Alexis. “But these dancers have been given notice, so Mission may be the last show for these 12 dancers together,” she said. Alexis first saw Ballet Kelowna at the Pacific Contact showcase of arts, and was struck by the beautiful athleticism of the dancers, their technical skill infused with the artistry of the medium. “There was power in their bodies, and absolute grace. There is passion, no question,” she said. The company is comprised of highly skilled young dancers from across Canada who have worked hard to “create a different kind of company. That’s what really drew me,” said Alexis. Passages showcases Ballet Kelowna’s artistic excellence with a performance that offers audiences a series of dance pieces with roots in Spain, Russia, England and Canada. The continental journey begins in Spain with the Pas de Trois from Paquita, a story of a beautiful gypsy girl who falls in love with a French nobleman. Then it moves to England with Journey Out of Darkness, a piece that moves from sorrow to hope, loss to salvation, set to the emotional music of Britten’s Four Sea Interludes.

Davin Luce and the Kelowna Ballet bring contemporary ballet to Mission’s Clarke Foundation Theatre on April 16. It will be the last show of the season, and the dancers plan to make it a good one. Things lighten up with Five for Frank, a pleasant British diversion. Vancouver choreographers Simone Orlando and Joe Laughlin continue Canada’s great contemporary ballet tradition with their unique collaboration of Double Variations, set to Ballet Kelowna’s third Canadian commissioned score by Vancouverite James Maxwell. Alexis said a lot of people want to see the company succeed its current challenge, among them a former dancer who is flying in from Austin, Texas. She invites Mission to be part of that support. “It’s about supporting the arts. This is an opportunity for Mission to support professional dance and to prove we do care about the arts in our province. “We want to see high calibre dancers in our community, to inspire young dancers,” she said. She noted Mission historically is an excellent training ground for a large number of dancers

who are currently dancing professionally. “For students of dance it is imperative to be exposed to a high level of professionalism as it provides an opportunity for the young dancers to dream about their own careers in dance,” added Bronwen Sutherland, manager of the Clarke Theatre. This is the fourth ballet presented by AEM Alexis Event Management to include Mission in a Canadian tour, said Alexis. The performance is at 7:30 p.m. at the Clarke Theatre, 33700 Prentis Ave., Mission. Tickets are $33, at the Mission Leisure Centre, 7650 Grand St. (604-820-5350), at Fraser Valley Academy of Dance, 33219 1st Ave., Mission, JazzMa-Tazz Abbotsford and Maple Ridge and at the Clarke Theatre. Find more on www.balletkelowna.ca or search on Facebook.

Three plays in one with The Apple Tree at ASIA Abbotsford School of Integrated Arts (ASIA) Sumas is bringing a unique production to the stage for two shows April 18-19. The play is a musical called The Apple Tree which consists of three mini plays in one. The underlying theme of choice is what ties all three of the plays together. The first act is The Diary of Adam and Eve, a touching spin of the world’s first couple Adam and Eve, which was adapted from Mark Twain’s extracts from Adam’s diary. Adam is played in dual roles by Eric Zamrykut and Keaton Sauder; Eve is played by Mackenzie Mowat and Dylaina Gollub. The second act is The Lady or the Tiger, which explores the fickleness of love in a rock ‘n’ roll fable set in a mythical barbarian king-

dom. The princess is played by Kiera Venter and Maayan Misner and Captian Sanjar is played by Liam Ryder. The third act is Passionella which is based on Jules Feiffer’s Cinderella story about a chimney sweep whose dreams of being a glamorous movie star nearly sabotage her one chance for true love. Passionella is played by Dion Lee and Flip Charming is played by Sydney Klassen and Solomon Thiessen. More than 70 students in grades 6 – 12 perform in The Apple Tree, with others working behind the scenes with lighting, staging and sets. The regular performance at the school, 36232 Lower Sumas Mtn. Rd., Abbotsford, is on April 18 and a special dessert performance is April 19 – both at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15/Thursday and $20/Friday (dessert show). – JEAN KONDA-WITTE

Vaisakhi Vaisakhi celebrated world wide with colour & pagentry N

ow that the Times of India Film Awards are a wrap in Vancouver the next big celebration that awaits the South Asian community is Vaisakhi, which is around the corner. The colourful festival is celebrated across the northern Indian subcontinent, especially in the Punjab region and across the globe by the Sikh community. For Sikh’s this season commemorates the establishment of the Khalsa. Vaisakhi has great significance for the Sikhs, due of the fact that in the year 1699, the 10th Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh laid down the foundation of the Panth Khalsa, that is the Order of the Pure Ones. This day is especially important to the farmers whereby they pay tribute thanking God for the abundant harvest and also praying for future prosperity. According to the Surrey Khalsa Day Parade website “. . . around 1650, the Punjab region was in vast turmoil; the rulers were corrupt and there was no rule of law and rights for the common people were nonexistent . . .” “The weak suffered constantly and quietly; there was misery everywhere. “It was under these circumstances that Guru Gobind Singh rose to the occasion and chose to create the Khalsa. “The Guru was looking for people within

the community who would take on the challenge and rise above the weakness, to be strong and fearless, to be KEN prepared to face these chalHERAR lenges without reservation On the and to uphold justice, to be edge fair and even handed at all times; to be prepared to die for the truth.” All of these being the founding principles of Sikhism. Vaisakhi is usually celebrated between April 13-14 depending on which region you are in the world. An estimated 200,000 people come out annually to participate in one of the largest family events in Western Canada – the Surrey Vaisakhi parade, which has been held for the past 12 years and is currently one of the largest Vaisakhi parades outside of India. In Abbotsford, the Fraser Valley Indo Canadian Business Association is hosting its 26th annual Vaisakhi luncheon today at Abbotsford Banquet Hall, 33738 Laurel St., starting at noon. This is a free event which includes a vegetarian luncheon and is always well represented by the mainstream community. The keynote speaker will be Dr. Pargat Singh Bhurji from Surrey. ■ Kulwinder (Ken) Herar writes about community diversity in Abbotsford and Mission. Contact him at KenHerar@gmail.com.

Briefly Jr. Cards home opener The Abbotsford Junior Cardinals open the season on Saturday at DeLair Park in a doubleheader against the Victoria Jr. Eagles. The first game starts at noon. After losing in the finals last season in the BCJPBL championship, the Jr. Cards are inching to get back at it with a different outcome. This year’s team doesn’t dominate in one area, but has talent across the board and players that can move around, said coach Shawn Besse. “We are looking at our five returning players to lead by example.” The team sports an exhibition record of 8-2-1 including a road trip to Arizona in March where they had a record of 3-1-1. One of those wins was a perfect game pitched by Alex Gibbons and John Lipp with 21 batters and 21 outs.

Members of the Abbotsford Skating Club, clockwise from top, Mikaela Dragt,, duo Kate Thompson and Alexandra Latreille, ballerina Sarah Steberl and mime, Jayme Dunn thrilled audiences for two performances of The Greatest Show on Ice Saturday at the MSA Arena in Abbotsford.

igure skaters from the Abbotsford Skating Club celebrated their 42nd year with another spectacular show of spins, leaps and fancy footwork in the circus-themed year end event The Greatest Show on Ice. Skaters of all ages and abilities showcased their talents to music that included: Do You Believe in Magic, Send in the Clowns, Jungle Book Mar, Lion Sleeps Tonight and more. The youngest staters, part of the CanSkate group, right up to seasoned competitors such as Megan Geddes and Gary Tsai in pairs, along with innovative footwork by many senior skaters, were all highlights for another successful show.

Pinning to winning at junior nationals JOHN VAN PUTTEN Sports@abbotsfordtimes.com

– JOHN VAN PUTTEN/TIMES

Jasmit Phulka reflects on his gold-medal performance at the Junior National Freestyle Wrestling Championships. He’s now preparing for a busy summer on the world wrestling stage.

ven with a broken rib 19 year-old Abbotsford wrestler Jasmit Phulka cruised to an easy victory in the recent Junior Nationals in his 84 kg weight class. “I won pretty easily, I had three matches and won all three pretty decisively,” said the Rick Hansen grad and current Douglas College criminology student. “I pinned the guy in the final in like 30 seconds.” With that victory at the 2013 Asics Junior Canadian Freestyle Championships in Fredericton on March 22 he said that he was seeded in second place for the senior nationals. Unfortunately he suffered a broken rib suffered early in the meet, causing him pain and difficulty breathing. Next up for Phulka is a series of training camps around the world for Team

Canada Wrestling and then the Junior World Wrestling Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria Aug. 13-18. Phulka has had his share of injuries of late. A medial collateral ligament sprain hindered his performance last year at that same meet. “This year my goal is to medal. Last year I was a match away and I would have been in the semifinals,” he said. Phulka was just named an All American in his recent National Collegiate Wrestling Association Nationals in Allen, Texas. But he also has another goal in mind. He has his sights set on representing Canada in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and bringing home a medal. • Fellow teammate and Abbotsford wrestler Sunny Dhinsa took gold at the Jr. Nationals and silver in the Sr. Natioanls.

The Abbotsford Senior Cardinals have started their regular season with three wins. On Tuesday night they beat the Langley Blaze 4-3 and on Saturday they bested the Vancouver Cannons for two, 8-3 and 3-2. Sunday’s rainy weather for their doubleheader home opener and community celebrations they had planned were washed out. Make-up games are planned for tonight and April 16 at 7 p.m. at DeLair Park.

Jobb take judo bronze Brandon Jobb of the Abbotsford Judo Club claimed the bronze medal at the EJU U21 European Cup held March 16 – 17, in Coimbra, Portugal. Fresh from a training camp at the National Training Centre in Montreal working alongside Canadian Olympic Medalist, Antoine Valois-Fortier, Jobb was able to marshal his skills after a second round loss and battle his way through the repechage round, and onto the podium.

Heat’s final home games The Abbotsford Heat play their final two home games of the regular season this weekend against the Toronto Marlies at the AESC. Friday’s game is 7 p.m., Sunday the puck drops at 4 p.m. The Heat sit in the 11th spot, five points behind the eighth and final playoff spot with four games remaining. – JOHN VAN PUTTEN/TIMES
