Abbotsford will re-examine its harm reduction policy. Mayor Bruce Banman said he plans to review the bylaw, which bans needle exchange facilities and other forms of harm reduction from operating in the city – despite the fact he hasn’t seen a new report issued by Fraser Health. In the report, which was made public on Monday, Fraser Health indicates that a minimum of 500 intravenous drug users could be served in the Abbotsford area and a program would likely distribute about 120,000 needles per year. “In my opinion, we should be looking at that (needle exchange) – under controlled circumstances, of course,” said Banman. He said a needle exchange would reduce the public’s potential harm from discarded needles and help keep track of who is using. It would also put users in regular contact with health professionals, hopefully encouraging them to ask for help, Banman said. “I’ve never met an addict who likes being an addict.” Continued on A3

The Burnaby pilot of a fatal hang gliding accident over the weekend near Agassiz was charged Monday with obstructing justice. The charge for William Johnathan Orders, 50, was related to an allegation that he withheld potential key evidence which could help determine whether he played a role in the incident, RCMP said. Lenami Godinez, 27, was killed Saturday when she was riding tandem with Orders and fell 1,000 feet into a heavily forested area.

Helping to get impaired drivers off roads Three Abbotsford Police officers have been honoured for their diligence in removing impaired drivers from local roads. Sgt. Kelly Joiner, Const. Carl Baker and Const. Ken Wilson have been named by the BCAA Road Safety Foundation and ICBC as members of “Alexa’s Team.” To be nominated for the team, officers must have removed at least 12 impaired drivers from the road in the previous calendar year through a criminal charge or an
immediate roadside prohibition. Alexa’s Team is named on behalf of Alexa Middelaer, who was killed by an impaired driver in 2008 at the age of four while she stood on the side of the road feeding a horse. In the last four years, the team has grown from 26 members to 355 RCMP and municipal police officers across the province. In that time, members processed almost 33,000 impaired driving charges or penalties.

A 21-year-old Abbotsford man broke his leg on Monday evening while he was trying to stop his car from rolling. The man parked his Toyota Celica in a sloped driveway in the 3300 block of Wagner Drive at about 10:30 p.m. As he was walking away from the vehicle, it began rolling back, hitting a vehicle parked across the street and then a pole. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said, at some point during the incident, the man ran behind the car to try to stop it, and he was pinned. His leg was fractured but he suffered no other injuries.

A letter will be sent to Kinder Morgan Canada, emphasizing the city’s position that extensive public consultation needs to take place before the company begins its expansion project. Kinder Morgan owns and operates the Trans Mountain Pipeline, a 1,150-kilometre line from Edmonton to Burnaby which carries 300,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The company wants to increase that amount to 850,000 barrels a day. A right-of-way, approximately 42 kilometres long by 30 metres wide, runs through Abbotsford. There is also a pump station and storage facility on Sumas Mountain. While council agreed that a letter should be sent, councillors had different opinions on how it should be worded. Coun. Patricia Ross said specific features of the area that could be at risk should be identified in the letter. “Bio-diversity, endangered species on Sumas Mountain, the extensive network of streams and, as well, the air quality implications.” She said an increase in tanker traffic will have an impact on air quality in the Fraser Valley. Coun. Henry Braun said another component to the letter should be a “thank you” for the cleanup that Kinder Morgan did after a January spill occurred in Abbotsford. “I think that approach, instead of insinuating that they are always doing something that they ought not to be doing, might stand us in good stead,” said Braun. He said he isn’t defending Kinder Morgan but wants to work with them as opposed to “beating them up.”

Aid for African orphanage Charity walk looks to supply kids in Kenya Tyler ORTON Contributor
An orphanage nestled in the mountains of Kenya is getting some desperately needed support from Abbotsford residents. The proceeds from a family walk and run event Saturday, May 5 at Clearbrook Park will go towards sending a shipping container of supplies to the Neema orphanage and school in Africa. “Most people when they picture Kenya, they think of the desert and everything like that, but the orphanage is actually 8,000 feet above sea level,” Aid for Neema organizer Lori McBlain says, adding the remote location means children require blankets, shoes and warm clothes. Last fall, McBlain’s foster mother Sally Gosse and foster aunt Suzie Shaw volunteered at Neema for about a month. Afterwards, the B.C. sisters came away from the experience determined to do even more to help. Although Gosse

So far, the women have been able to raise enough money to pay for the $20,000 shipping crate. The one-kilometre walk and five-kilometre run aim at securing more dollars and donations
to fill the container with supplies. “The outpouring of donations has been amazing, absolutely amazing,” McBlain says, adding sports teams like the Abbotsford Heat, the B.C. Lions and the Vancouver Canadians have all donated tickets as prizes for the event’s participants. Meanwhile, residents across the province have been donat-
ing items such as bedding or desks for the school’s teachers. McBlain says despite the fact the children at the orphanage may not have many possessions, they’re still happy. It’s for that reason she believes it’s important for people to support the cause. “I think there (are) so many opportunities available in Canada that aren’t available in Kenya and (helping)
gives us a sense – for myself – of humanity,” McBlain says. She recalls a story in which orphanage founder Catherine Muthoni Kihiuhi found a baby at the doorstep of the school without any paperwork indicating a name or date of birth. She says Kihiuhi picked up the infant and exclaimed, “‘Oh, my precious little girl.’” The name stuck and to this day the girl is still called Precious. “There (are) 176 students at this school and it’s through the efforts of volunteers that (Kihiuhi) is able to keep her doors open,” McBlain says. Registration begins 8:30 a.m. the day of the walk before the event kicks off at 9:30 a.m. sharp. McBlain hopes at least 50 people will pay the $25 entrance fee for the fundraiser. Children five and under can participate for free. More information can be found at http:// w w w. a i d fo r n e e m a . ca/
Testing a firefighting career Teens go through Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service academy Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Twelve Abbotsford teens have been learning the ropes – literally – of what it takes to become a firefighter. The group of 10 boys and two girls began training in April in the Secondary Fire Academy, hosted by Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS). They will graduate from the academy on May 8. Their classroom and hands-on learning includes rope and knot tying, auto extrication, the use of selfcontained breathing apparatus, fire hose use, search and rescue techniques, driving, and live fire training.
VIKKI HOPES Abbotsford News
Instructor Ed Griffioen watches Secondary Fire Academy participants as they practise their ladder skills outside of fire hall 1. AFRS Lt. Ted Main of the fire prevention division said the concept is to give the Grade 11 and 12 students – who must go through an application process to be accepted – an idea of what a firefighting career entails. Some realize that the field
is not something they want to pursue, while others go on to become auxiliary or career firefighters – many with AFRS. Several, like 17-year-old Bryce Wiebe of Abbotsford Collegiate, have firefighting in their blood.
His dad, Pat, has been a firefighter for more than 25 years, most of them with AFRS. Bryce, who is in Grade 11, is seriously considering the same career and thought joining the Secondary Fire Academy would be a great start. “I wanted to see what it (firefighting) is all about because my dad loves it,” he said. Bryce said he has especially enjoyed learning how to drive a fire truck. Since first offering the program in 1998, AFRS has put almost 170 kids through the academy.

Canuck Place hospice receives $50,000 from CIBC Canuck Place Children’s Hospice in Abbotsford has received a $50,000 donation from CIBC. To be paid over five years, the funds were recently presented by Jack Glazier, associate vice-president of CIBC Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. The money will go towards programs and services at the Abbotsford site, currently under
construction on Marshall Road adjacent to Abbotsford Regional Hospital. The 30,000-square-foot hospice is part of the Dave Lede Campus of Care. The project also includes Holmberg House, an adult hospice operated by the Abbotsford Hospice Society, and Matthew’s House, a respite facility for children with severe disabilities.

Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask! Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent. Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home. Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold. This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-
served for the real estate agents and their clients. This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home. To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811. This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.

The price we pay If you’re like many Canadians, you spent much of this past weekend hunched in front of your home computer, or over your kitchen table, surrounded by boxes and folders of paperwork and receipts. Monday at midnight was the deadline to file 2011 income tax returns. Not the best way to spend the last weekend of April – even with the cool cloudy weather – although there will be a payoff, if you’re expecting a refund. About two-thirds of Canadians who file a return will get money back, on average about $1,500. Another 21 per cent will have already paid from deductions the exact amount of taxes they owe, and 12 per cent will have to pay more. And while it sometimes feels like the various levels of government are always dipping their fingers into our back pockets to extract ever more of our hard-earned dollars, Canadians aren’t as tax-burdened as we like to think.
Total taxes, including income, sales, corporate, property and other taxes, account for 31 per cent of Canada’s economy. That’s almost three per cent less than the average for other industrialized countries that comprise the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In France, Finland, Austria, Norway, Belgium, Italy, Sweden and Denmark, taxes add up to 42 to 48 per cent of their economies. Sure, Americans pay less tax than Canadians, but we don’t have to pull out our credit cards every time we visit the doctor or get an X-ray at the hospital. The people of Greece, Portugal, Spain and Ireland also pay less tax, but given the financial crises crippling their economies, that’s unlikely to last. So as you await your refund, or the cheque you had to write to clear, consider it the price we pay for living in a stable, reliable country. – Black Press
Lumber industry jobs won’t wait for 2013 Tom
Fletcher
B.C. Views Sawmill tragedies in Prince George and Burns Lake have brought overdue attention to the larger crisis, as the end of B.C.’s latest pine beetle infestation continues to transform the Interior forest industry. The urgency of the timber supply situation was set out in a couple of high-level documents that were leaked from the forests ministry in recent days. These leaks show several things, one of which is that this is a government in trouble. Someone on the inside forced the unpopular options into the public arena. Cabinet ministers have tried to dismiss the documents as early drafts, but no one has disputed their numbers. A report on mid-term timber supply looks at the four most beetle-affected areas: Prince George, Lakes (west of Prince George around Burns Lake),
Quesnel and Williams Lake. In recent years B.C.’s chief forester has increased the annual allowable cut of all these timber supply areas substantially to harvest dead trees. In Lakes, the pre-beetle annual allowable cut was 1.5 million cubic metres. Currently it is up to two million, but once the beetle wood is unusable, it drops to 500,000. Even if visual quality rules are relaxed to release more timber, forest employment in the area would go from 1,572 jobs before the beetle epidemic to 521. Prince George’s much larger harvest total is expected to drop by almost half. And around Quesnel, producers say an economic supply of dead pine will be there for only another year and a half. This document and a subsequent proposal to cabinet set out the options. They include relaxing visual quality areas, old-growth management zones and wildlife connectivity corridors. This is not as drastic as it sounds, given that the first areas to be opened up would be those where many of the trees are already dead. Most beetle-affected areas have a substantial proportion of live trees. If
decade-old dead trees were subsidized for biofuel use, this would support harvest and hauling of healthy sawlogs along with them. The government is also considering swapping some existing cutting licences to increase wood supply for the Lakes district, to provide enough longterm supply for reconstruction of the
...environmental groups have convinced most people that logging is the primary cause of forest loss. destroyed Burns Lake sawmill. There is also the prospect of awarding unassigned timber to “a single representative of the six First Nations in the Lakes TSA.” Speaking to forest scientists who work in B.C., a couple of things become clear. This pine beetle epidemic may be the largest on record, but it is far from the
first. And despite many assertions by former premier Gordon Campbell, it is not certain if this one is the result of a broader climate trend or just a string of warmer winters after decades of fire suppression kept older stands around. Lodgepole pine forests are fire-propagated. The term “old growth” has little meaning in a cycle of natural fires that doesn’t occur in wetter zones. But none of this will matter much in the urban political debate that is about to ensue. “Old growth” is now a quasireligious notion. International environmental groups have convinced most people that logging is the primary cause of forest loss. In fact, the UN’s “State of the World’s Forests” reports have shown that 95 per cent of global forest loss is due to agriculture. Forest cover is increasing in industrialized countries, which use farmland more efficiently. The B.C. Liberal government needs to make some tough decisions quickly, before next year’s election. The premier’s vow to “create and defend” jobs is about to be tested like never before. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Heat offer fast, exciting brand of hockey James Breckenridge makes some valid points in his criticism of “ego projects� such as the AESC and the deal with the Heat, which appeared in the April 27 News. At first, I, too, was not thrilled that our tax dollars were being spent in such a way. However, if we follow Mr. Breckenridge’s argument, none of us
should attend any functions in these facilities. Since we’re on the hook for half a billion dollars for the refurbished BC Place, we should boycott it too. Should we not punish the B.C. Lions, Vancouver Whitecaps, the auto show and any others for our politicians’ largesse with our tax dollars? Of course, the answer
is no. Now that the facilities have been built, we should encourage people to attend any and all games, exhibitions and such that use those venues, to help pay the rent. This includes the Abbotsford Heat. Granted, the team’s financial circumstances are unfortunate, but if Abbotsford didn’t have the Heat, who else
is going to occupy the stadium? It seems to me that the citizens of the Fraser Valley continue to hold a grudge against the Heat for the politicians’ decisions, which doesn’t seem fair to me. They also seem unwilling to attend games because of their loyalty to the Vancouver Canucks.
I, too, am a huge Canucks fan and bled blue and green when we came so near and yet so far to winning it all. But I believe we can be loyal to the Canucks and still be fans of the Abbotsford Heat, our local team. I can assure everyone that the Heat is a firstclass organization. I’ve had the good fortune to meet Ryan Walter, Troy
Ward and many others who work for the Heat, and they are trying very hard to gain the loyalty of the Fraser Valley fan base. If you’re a hockey fan, you really should try to attend a game. You’ll find the on-ice product to be a fast, exciting, hard-fought brand of hockey with a fun, family-oriented atmosphere.
Not only do my young son and I enjoy the highquality hockey, I feel that I’m also helping to pay the rent and assist my fellow taxpayers whenever I put down my hard-earned cash. I urge all of you Fraser Valley hockey fans to attend any Heat games you can – you won’t be disappointed. Alan Cameron
Very few meters with problems among the 1.1 million installed I’d like to thank BC Hydro customers for their patience as we transition to a more modern electricity system. We’re replacing our old analog meters with new digital smart meters which will have many benefits for customers, such as faster power restoration when there’s an outage and new tools to help you manage your energy use to save energy and money. We know deployment of new equipment on this scale will not be perfect, but we’re doing our best to ensure our customers are not inconvenienced by any issues that
may occur. Some customers have asked whether a higher bill might have been caused by a new smart meter. In the overwhelming number of inquiries, we’ve determined that bills are consistent with past use; or there has been a manual meter misread which we immediately correct. If that doesn’t explain it, we look at every other possible source, including the meter. As is the case with any mass-produced electronic device, there will be a small number of meters that have components that don’t work properly. Out of more than 1.1 million
meters installed to date there have been very few meters that have had problems. The vast majority of these errors were caught by system checks and did not affect customer bills. In future, when our smart grid is operational, we will be able to detect many problems on our grid automatically and fix them much faster. We appreciate our customers’ continued patience as we work to complete the installation of the new meters. Donna McGeachie BC Hydro Community Relations Manager

juana would allow the government to rationally address the health concerns of marijuana, raise government tax revenue and eliminate the huge profits from the marijuana industry that flow directly to organized crime.� Banman said he understands the theory, calling it the “prohibition argument,� but doesn’t necessarily agree with it. He called it a highly controversial issue that should either go to the Supreme Court of Canada, or to a nation-wide referendum. “In this particular community, that wouldn’t go very far if we were to say, ‘Hey, let’s legalize this tomorrow.’ I don’t think I’ll be putting my name on that list (of mayors) anytime soon.� He said the Abbotsford community doesn’t have any “appetite to fight this fight.� Abbotsford Coun. John Smith said the topic has never come up at council, at least not during his sixyear run. “It’s never even been discussed. It’s not on the agenda.� While he hasn’t seen the letter sent by the eight B.C. mayors, Smith said he could not support the legalization of pot for any reason. “I’m against smoking, let alone marijuana.� The mayors’ letter, which was addressed to Premier Christy Clark, NDP leader Adrian Dix and BC Conservative leader John Cummins, notes pot is more readily available to youth than tobacco, while smoking rates have been cut through public health regulation, not prohibition. The mayors also express concern that their cities will face higher policing costs due to “inflexible� federal policies like mandatory minimum sentences for drug offences. B.C.’s chief medical health officer Dr. Perry Kendall was one of the latest to endorse a healthbased approach to marijuana policy.

“He finds himself always in positions to make an impact on the game,� Ward said of Reinhart, who fired a team-high five shots on net and had a +2 rating. “We’ve seen him now, in a short amount of time, score some goals at this level, and that’s not by coincidence. That has to do with his hockey intelligence.� Playing before 4,934 fans at Toronto’s Ricoh Coliseum, Reinhart opened the scoring at 15:24 of the first period. On a goalmouth scramble, he tracked down the biscuit and chipped it over fallen Marlies goalie Ben Scrivens. Midway through the second period, the rookie made a sweet play to set up the Heat’s second goal. Reinhart passed the puck to himself off the back of the net to elude a Marlies defender, then fed Chris Breen at the point, and the big blueliner’s shot beat Scrivens. The Heat began the third period in nervous fashion – the hosts registered the first six shots of the frame, and that pressure yielded a goal by Matt Frattin off a feed from Joe Colborne. But Abbotsford goalie Danny Taylor slammed the door from there – he turned aside 14 shots in the third period, including a pair of point-blank stops on Toronto forward Ryan Hamilton to preserve the one-goal lead. Guillaume Desbiens scored into an empty net with 1:21 left to seal the deal. Reinhart, who joined the Heat after his WHL season with the Kootenay Ice ended, now has four points in three AHL games. He’s found a comfort zone on a line with Hugh Jessiman and Greg Nemisz. “I’ve had a lot of help,� he said, deflecting the credit for his hot start to his pro career. “They (Nemisz and Jessiman) are really smart with the puck and make it very easy to adjust to a new system. “It’s been a very smooth transition so far, but I think I still have a long way to go.� The Heat posted their 11th consecutive victory dating back to the regular season, and Taylor has been between the pipes for nine of those triumphs.

As summer approaches we are once again greeted with lovely weather and those all too welcome long weekends. For pet owners, this also means we have to prepare ourselves for the dreaded sounds of fireworks and sometimes even thunderstorms. Here are some steps you can take at home to help Fido manage: Environmental Modification. Place your dog in a darkened room without windows or close the curtains to block out any visual stimuli. Then put on some music or white noise to mask the sounds of what is scaring them. It is important to practice this step even when you’re not experiencing thunderstorms/fireworks, so that your dog associates your “noise bunker” as a fun and safe place to be. Behaviour Modification. Keep calm and carry on! As soon as your pet senses you are getting all worked up because they are scared you will only escalate the situation. Also avoid trying to soothe or pet them while they are anxious; this may make you feel better but it is actually teaching them
that their reaction to the situation is appropriate! First, ask your pet to perform a known behaviour (eg: sit or stay) and reward them for it. Then try to engage them in an activity that is fun, such as playing fetch or gnawing on a yummy treat. Pheromones. Huh?!?!?! Pheromones are chemical substances that have the ability to change behaviours when detected by the area of the brain that senses smell. Perfume companies have long used them to make us desire their products. More recently however, pheromones have been developed to help decrease anxious behaviours in our furry friends. How cool is that! Feliway is the product used for cats and D.A.P is the product used for dogs. It is important to understand that pheromones alone will not work miracles, but they can reduce the severity of reactions enough to help you achieve the above mentioned steps. If you are still having difficulties, it is advised that you seek your veterinarian’s advice to help manage your dog’s phobias.

When Jason Young, head coach of the Abbotsford Rugby Football Club’s top men’s side, evaluates his team’s season, he looks beyond the wins and losses. And given the ARFC’s 1-13 record in the CDI Premier League, that might seem like the easy way out. But Young knew heading into the team’s second season on Canada’s top rugby circuit that wins would be tough to come by. The ARFC, after all, hadn’t notched a single Premier League victory in 2010-11. So the goal was to show improvement in terms of performance, and in that respect, Young’s charges succeeded. They were competitive in every game, and even notched a win over UVic on March 17. “We really improved,� asserted Young, whose

team wrapped up the season with a 43-17 loss to Capilano on Saturday. “Our first team wasn’t getting blown out, so you could see our depth was getting better. “There are lots of positives. We have a very young club, and for them to play at the highest level was good.� Young was heartened by the growth he saw from up-and-comers like Chris Chalmers,

Aaron Flagg, Brent Bradbury and Ryan March, supplemented by strong leadership from veterans including Ryan McWhinney and Harry Toews. At the same time, Young doesn’t mince words about what it will take for the club to reach contender status. “There’s got to be more commitment from the guys to put in that extra effort,� he said. “The two training

sessions we have (per week) isn’t enough. It’s getting into the gym, it’s doing some running on your own. The young guys, if they want it, that’s what they’ve got to strive for.� Abbotsford finished at the bottom of the eight-team Premier League, and as such, they’re poised for relegation this fall. There’s a chance they could remain on the top circuit, though, if Tier 2 regular season champ Bayside Sharks elect not to move up. Flagg, Konrad Rybkowski and Darwin Guevara scored tries in Abby’s season-ending loss to Capilano, while Connor Hunter booted a convert. In other action, the Abbotsford Div. 1 men fell 34-10 to Capilano, despite a try, a convert and a penalty kick from Jordan Tait-Comis. The Abby women fell 39-5 to Cowichan in the Div. 1 semifinal.

STOCKILL DYCK, Peter George May 30, 1943 - April 25, 2012
CAMPSALL Glen Robert June 23, 1930 - April 25, 2012 Bob died peacefully in his home in Mission. He was surrounded by family. Bob served in the Canadian Armed Forces for over 20 years. He then worked for Sunnyhill Children’s Hospital and Parkholm Lodge before retiring to the world of golf. Bob was devoted to his family and friends. He loved working around the home and beachcombing in Hawaii. He mentored many people in AA. He was a man of great integrity and courage, with a great sense of humour and he will be terribly missed. Survived by his loving Wife: Jan Campsall; Children: Bob Campsall (Christa), Allen Campsall (Raeleen), Mitch Campsall (Heather), Mike Nelson, Barb McKenzie (Rob) and Nicole Garza (Ron); Grand children: Michael (Jemaica), Sherri (Mark), Paul (Lis), Becky, Cheryl, Shauna, Michelle, Marina, Cameron, Kevin, Keith, Kyler and Malia; Great grand children: Ryleh, Fenwick, Cooper, Carter and Johan; Siblings: Mae Oost and Roy Campsall; Predeceased by his Daughter Jacqueline.
We are sad to announce the passing of Peter George Dyck after a hard fought battle with cancer. Peter is survived by Virginia, his loving wife of 45 years, sons Peter (Kristy) and Stephen (Leonie) and grandchildren Hailee, Kolby, Chloe, and Sydney. He is also survived by his brothers Frank and Henry, his sisters Mary, Helen, Katie, and Ruth, as well as many brother and sister inlaws, nieces, and nephews. “Big Pete” was born in Neuhorst, Ukraine and his family made its way to Canada when he was 5 years old. He grew up with many hardships, that helped to form the great man he became. Dad and Mom owned a successful construction company in Prince Rupert, and in 1977 all his hard work enabled him to realize his dream of owning a farm, which he operated for 35 years. Dad loved playing basketball, he was able to compete in the BC Winter Games, and he played in a men’s league for many years. His other passion was working in his shop and singing along to the radio while doing custom machining and fabrication, and inventing and engineering many complex projects. When his grandchildren came into his life, he loved to spend time playing and laughing with them. He had a love for good food, especially homemade dishes his loving wife prepared, and enjoyed being the life of the party. A Celebration of Pete’s Life will be held on Sunday, May 27, 2012 from 1-4:00 p.m. at the Langley Golf and Banquet Hall, 21550 - 44th Avenue, Langley, BC. We would like to express our gratitude to the staff at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital for their compassionate care during this most difficult time. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society; www.cancer.ca British Columbia/Yukon Territory

Meta Enns, our precious mom, passed away peacefully in her sleep, on Monday April 23, 2012, age 93. Following surgery and a 2 month stay in ARH due to diverticulitis, she resided in MSA Manor for her last 6 months. Previously Mom had been healthy and extremely busy, living and driving on her own, involved in many activities with family and friends. With all 68 of us local, birthday parties were constant, amidst her commitment to watching the Canucks. She maintained her sense of humour, and loving attitude to the end, as a result of her deep trust in Jesus, who she wants all the glory to go to, for her full life. She is greatly missed and will always be the heart of our large family, leaving her reminder that God is the center of all true love and fulfillment. Mom was born and raised on a farm in Laird, Saskatchewan, with her parents, Henry, Susanna Epp and 3 siblings. She completed school, continued on, becoming an RN, graduating in 1940 from Saskatoon City Hospital. She worked 5 years, then came to B.C. in 1945, to see Peter Enns, who she had met in high school. They were married in September, then moved to Abbotsford, where they remained for the most part of her next 67 years. Along with being a full time mom and homemaker, she was president of the PTA, church ladies aid, involved in Social Credit for many years, did a lot of travelling with dad and/or the family, and was a master of warm hospitality. Mom was predeceased by dad, Peter Enns, in 2005, soon after celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. Also predeceased by her parents Henry and Susanna Epp, 2 sisters, Frieda Heppner, Justina Epp, and Catherine (died at infancy). She is survived by her brother Dave (Hedy) Epp, her 5 children, Brenda (Don) MacBurney, Dick (Anne) Enns, Ken (Phyllis) Enns, Cathy (Doug) Parlee, Cindy (Maurice) Rozek, 17 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, 2 great great-grandchildren, amongst other loved relatives. We would like to thank the staff at ARH for their excellent care for Mom during her surgery/recovery (including her granddaughter, grandson and his mother-in-law), plus Dr. Chafe and the amazingly compassionate staff at MSA Manor for their extraordinary care for our dear mom in her last months of life. Viewing: Emmanuel Mennonite Church (3471 Clearbrook Road) Thursday, May 10th, 11am; Graveside Service: South Poplar Cemetery, 12:30pm; Memorial Service: Emmanuel Church, 2pm with reception. In lieu of flowers, donations made to Cyrus Centre would be appreciated.
