18 months for child porn Abbotsford man caught by international police sting

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Substance abuse was a factor in an Abbotsford man’s decision to access child pornography, his defence lawyer said during a sentencing hearing on Friday in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

Everett (Chipper) Block was handed an 18-month jail term and two years’ probation

by Justice Austin Cullen for four charges – importing or distributing child porn, making child porn, and two counts of possessing child porn.

Defence lawyer Brian Coleman had sought the mandatory minimum sentence of one

year, and referenced a psychologist’s report that said Block’s offences were “related to the use of cocaine, and one thing led to another.”

Coleman said Block, who had been out on bail since charges were laid in 2009 and was Continued on A5

NewsBytes FREEWAY CRASH The driver and passenger of a truck involved in a serious crash on Hwy. 1 in Abbotsford on Saturday afternoon are now under investigation for possession of stolen property.

The 46-year-old man – who was driving a Ford F-450 pickup with a utility trailer – and his 31year-old female passenger were involved in the collision with a Toyota Venza at about 4:40 p.m.

The crash occurred in the westbound lanes of the freeway at Peardonville Road, and sent both vehicles to the side of the road. The driver of the Toyota and the passenger of the truck were taken to hospital by air ambulance, while crews worked on freeing the driver of the F-450, which had landed on its roof. A second air ambulance VIDLEIONE transported that ON ws.com driver to hospital. abbyne Traffic was closed in both directions of Highway 1 to allow the helicoptors to land. The westbound lanes remained closed for about eight hours. RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks said investigators discovered a number of stolen items in the truck, including electrical cable, electronics, electrical equipment, communication devices, power tools and surveying equipment. The utility trailer had been reported stolen from 100 Mile House, she said.

As well, the driver of the F-450 is facing numerous Motor Vehicle Act charges because he was not in possession of a valid driver’s licence at the time of the crash.

The pickup has been impounded.

1,000-kilometre trek

Joe Roberts brought The Push for Change to Abbotsford yesterday to raise awareness and funds for at-risk kids in Canada.

Roberts, a former homeless kid and addict who is now a successful author, trainer and motivational speaker, has been pushing a modified shopping cart from Calgary since July 1. He ends his 1,000-kilometre trip this Saturday at the Salvation Army’s Harbour Light Shelter in Vancouver.

Roberts stopped in Abbotsford at the Salvation Army’s Cascade Community Church on DeLair Road, and heads to the Gateway of Hope in Langley today (Tuesday).

He was in Mission on Friday.

In Abbotsford a large crowd of supporters greeted Roberts as he shared his story.

Roberts, 45, has said the shopping cart is “a symbol of hope and courage for the young people who are often left out in our society, in our communities, and in our school

Police want ID of bait car video thief Man caught on film while stealing electronics Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) is asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who stole electronics from a bait car on July 27.

Const. Ian MacDonald said a man entered the unlocked vehicle, which was set up on Marshall Road, just after midnight.

He rooted through the car and took a set of headphones, an iPod, a GPS and a cellphone.

MacDonald said the APD has “several” bait cars in the community at any given time.

“We try to change things up ... We use different vehicles and present them in different ways. Some are locked; some are unlocked. Some have items prominently displayed; others have them more hidden.”

MacDonald said the vehicle used in the latest incident was left unlocked because that was the scenario occurring in Abbotsford at the time. The APD previ-

ously issued reminders for residents to lock their cars after an increase in the number of thefts from unlocked vehicles.

Bait cars in the Lower Mainland are operated by the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) in partnership with individual police agencies.

They are used by police to capture thieves stealing the vehicle or items within the car.

If the vehicle itself is stolen, the location, speed and direction of travel is monitored by police dispatchers at E-Comm through GPS tracking.

Everything that happens inside the vehicle is caught on audio and video.

The dispatcher co-ordinates police response and, once officers are in position behind the bait car, the engine will be disabled at the click of a mouse button.

The Abbotsford bait car video can be viewed at “Abbotsford Police Department” on Facebook. Anyone with information about the person in the video is asked to call the APD at 604-859-5225.

Police want to know the identity of this man, who was caught on video in a bait car.

More info about pipeline needed: Citizens Town hall meeting addresses Kinder Morgan plans

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A public meeting held Wednesday night in Abbotsford has solidified opposition to Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline, and identified the need for more information.

John Vissers, an Abbotsford environmental activist who attended the session at University of the Fraser Valley, said there is a main theme that emerged from the meeting.

“There’s a determination to find out more about Kinder Morgan heavy-crude shipments. We need to learn much more about diluted bitumen and how it’s affect-

subject to random drug testing, no longer uses cocaine nor had he filled a doctor’s prescription for medical marijuana.

Block, 48, has also undergone counselling to deal with his issues, and the reports say he is at a low risk to re-offend, Coleman said.

“He feels confident that he is completely rehabilitated,” he said, adding that Block had agreed to participate in any further counselling that was ordered.

Crown prosecutor Sylvia Domaradzki recommended a term of three to four years, saying that child pornography “depends on a simple equation of supply and demand,” and viewing or sharing such material perpetuates the sexual abuse and exploitation of children.

Domaradzki cited a portion of the psychological assessment that suggested Block has a lack of insight and remorse about his offences. She said a longer sentence was needed to adequately address the issues of denunciation and deterrence.

Block, a former realtor, went to trial on seven charges and was convicted in May of four of them.

He was arrested after a police officer in Australia posed online as a person interested in child porn. Block sent the officer two photos of naked children and a short video of a girl performing a sexual act on a man.

The exchanges were traced to Block’s home in Abbotsford, and Canadian authorities were notified. Abbotsford Police went to the residence on April 24, 2008, but only drove onto the property and left.

They later found out that their brief appearance had been captured on Block’s home surveillance video camera.

They returned with a search warrant the following day and found four computers, all missing their hard drives, which were never located.

A fifth older-model computer was found in another area of the home and, of the 12,000 images stored on it, an investigator recovered 219. About 40 of those were found to constitute child porn, while about another 30 were considered child erotica.

Also discovered were online chat sessions that Block had with other people in which their “role playing” involved explicit descriptions of sexual acts being performed with characters as young as nine. The offences occurred between 2003 and 2008.

Body found in Fraser R. Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

WIN $5,000 IN CASH OR THIS

HARLEY DAVIDSON!

A body found last Monday in the Fraser River has still not been identified, but the coroner’s service has ruled out foul play.

Const. Ian MacDonald said the man’s body was found Aug. 13 by workers on gravel barges for Mainland Sand and Gravel, located at 6850 Cox Rd. along the shoreline of the river east of Matsqui Trail Regional Park in Abbotsford.

The body was wedged between a barge and a log, MacDonald said. Police arrived on the scene at about 9:10 p.m.

As of yesterday, the man’s identity had not

been established, but could possibly be one of the people who have been reported missing in recent boating accidents.

On July 28, a 67-year-old Hope fisherman slipped off a rock near the Saddle Rock Tunnel in the Fraser Canyon and fell into the river. He was not wearing a floatation device.

On Saturday, Aug. 11, a 49-year-old man went missing after the boat he was in with two others began taking on water and started sinking in the Fraser River near the Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge. Two of the occupants were able to swim to shore, but the man couldn’t make it through the strong current.

Jamie Bacon has pleaded not guilty to charges he faces re g a rd i n g the so-called Surrey Six killings.

Bacon appeared in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to murder and conspiracy in the death of Corey Lal, one of six people killed at the Balmoral Towers apartment complex in Whalley on Oct. 19, 2007.

Charged separately in relation to the same incident are Cody Rae Haevischer, Matthew James Johnston and Quang Vinh Thang (Michael) Le. Bacon’s case was severed from the others earlier this month.

Police believe four of the victims in the Surrey Six case were gang-related.

Two others, 22-yearold Christopher Mohan, a neighbour, and 55-year-old Ed Schellenbergof

The indictment against the others alleges they committed the murder of Lal, while Haevischer and Jo h n s t o n murdered Ryan Bartolomeo, Michael Lal, Edward Narong, Schellenberg and Mohan.

Both indictments also list convicted killers Dennis Karbovanec and Anton HooitesMeursing as co-con-

spirators.

In 2009, Karbovanec pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree murder and one count of conspiracy. He is currently serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 15 years.

Back in the Drop Zone Raising funds for children with special needs Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

For many, standing on the roof of a 20-storey building in Downtown Vancouver, looking at the sidewalk below, would be an unsettling experience. Dangling from that roof by a rope could be considered crazy.

But for Abbotsford’s Clayton Ingle, it’s becoming a tradition.

For the fifth year in a row, Ingle will take part in the Easter Seals Drop Zone, taking place Sept. 11 at 999 West Hastings in Vancouver.

The fundraising event helps send children with special needs to an Easter Seals camp.

Participants meet on the roof of the building and rappel down 20 storeys. However, in order to take part, each participant has to raise a minimum of $1,000.

Ingle is the only person in B.C. to take part in the event for five consecutive years and has raised more than $10,000 in that time.

“I would really like to break my record year last year, when I raised just shy of $3,700,” he said. “I’m asking my hometown of Abbotsford to help me out and sponsor me and at the same time help a kid with

All money raised stays in B.C. Ingle is the current president of the Lions Club of Abbotsford and is an active volunteer in the community. The annual Drop Zone event is one of many ways he tries to contribute.

He’s worked with people with various disabilities for 14 years, and for the past four years, he has

been helping a young Maple Ridge man named Tyson Aubin.

“I work five days a week with him and we do lots of things together, including going to the gym, swimming, walks in his wheelchair, and lots of concerts,” said Ingle.

Aubin has helped Ingle with his fundraising efforts in the past. This year, a photo of the two of them was chosen to appear in a commercial promot-

ing the event.

Anyone wishing to sponsor Ingle can visit thedropzone.ca, click on “enter” and look for the Vancouver link. Then click “sponsor” and look for Ingle’s name. Or, visit the direct link on the Facebook event called “2012 Vancouver Drop Zone.”

The BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities provides Easter Seals’ programs and services like Easter Seals’ houses and camps.

With events like the Drop Zone, the group is able to continue to build programs and services to promote self-esteem, self-confidence, and a sense of accomplishment for children with disabilities in the community.

All donations made to Easter Seals through special events, corporate partnerships, and individual donations go directly to fund programs including: week-long camping experiences for over 850 children at Easter Seals camps, at no cost to their families/ guardians; and accommodations for more than 32,000 bed nights each year at Easter Seals Houses in Prince George, Victoria, and Vancouver while children receive necessary medical treatment at nearby hospitals.

ICBC mishandled The BC Liberals have completely mishandled ICBC, and the proof came last week, when a review showed that the company has been hiring boatloads of senior managers and paying them more each year — with the government apparently oblivious.

There are 32 per cent more managers than in 2007, and they are paid (as a group) 70 per cent more than managers received in 2007. Fifty-four of them made more than $200,000 each in 2011.

The Liberals insisted, on taking office in 2001, that ICBC didn’t need to be privatized, nor did there need to be complete competition in the auto insurance sector.

They have also insisted, especially in recent years, that substantial dividends from ICBC go back to the shareholder — the government. This means that all ICBC customers, and that’s everyone who owns a vehicle, are paying additional insurance

premiums to boost government revenues. It’s a tax grab, hidden in the guise of insurance costs.

The government has now, very belatedly, said ICBC meeds to cut its management costs and manager compensation. This comes just after ICBC has boosted insurance rates by 11.2 per cent.

The simple fact is this: ICBC is being used by government for all sorts of purposes that are far afield from its ostensible role as a public car insurance company. This isn’t new — the NDP did this with ICBC back in its earliest days. But it certainly points out that the Liberals are just as good as the NDP at mismanaging Crown corporations and sticking taxpayers with extra costs.

ICBC needs to be privatized. There is no real need to have government operate a car insurance company that forces all drivers to buy at least basic car insurance.

Rushton On the

Other Hand If there is one thing I can almost always count on, it is that no matter how productive fishing can be in any lake, they never bite when I hit the water.

Since planning a trip into the wilds with someone else usually requires a mutually convenient time, the weekend is selected weeks in advance.

How was I to know this one would be a record-breaker for heat in the southern Interior? So due to the rather warm temperatures, I selected a high elevation lake as the only possibility for a fish or two.

At one of the highest points on the Coquihalla, we headed north to a little puddle, known for its “great” fishing, at about 4,500 feet. It was killer hot on the drive up but by the time we set up camp, the evening had cooled down to about 10 C. Since we’d spent most of the day driving and setting up, we forsook a campfire, and just before hitting the sack, met the “host’

of the lake’s Forest Service rec site.

First time I’ve ever been to a backcountry location, and been supplied with a “host.” I wondered if he’d invite us over for cocktails later, but other than a “hi, how are ya” introduction, that was it. He wandered off to his trailer parked about a hundred yards from us.

Next day the sun was scorching, hitting at least 36 by noon. The fish stayed down where it was cool and passed up any and all offerings of snacky things at the end of a fly line.

Fortunately, bored son-in-law was kept occupied by constantly bailing the boat, which unbeknownst to me had a smallish leak that appeared in the bow right between his feet. His first reaction on noticing the dampness was “what’s this?” Obviously a leak, I unconcernedly remarked. Bail!

Bailer acquired, and activated, we continued our troll of the lake, occasionally warding off the relentless sun by placing cold beer cans against the back of our necks. After a few hours in the heat, and the beer exhausted, it was time to relieve son-in-law’s bailing arm. Perhaps the fishing would improve in the evening.

It didn’t.

As night was about to fall, I broke out the gas barbecue, taken along in case a campfire ban might be invoked, to grill up some steaks. The barbie was uncooperative, so out came the chain saw, son-inlaw’s bailer arm got a little more workout hauling logs and before long we had a

We were appropriately contrite, promising that in the future we’d bring along TVs and radios. cheery blaze in the fire pit.

Steaks were cooked, a libation or two consumed with them, and we enjoyed the warmth of the fire as the night-time temperature plummeted.

Next morning, about 9 a.m., the rec site “host” shows up to tie flagging tape across the fire pit.

“You had a fire last night?!?!” he exclaimed. Well yeah, was the obvious response.

There’s a campfire ban on right now …

don’t you listen to the radio or watch TV, he agitatedly declared.

Discretion being the better part of valour, I avoided suggesting that listening to radios isn’t part of a wilderness fishing experience, nor is taking along a TV. Apparently the ban had been imposed at noon the day we arrived at the site, yet the host never informed us of same when he first met us, and the sound of a chainsaw wailing didn’t clue him into the fact we were unaware a ban was in effect.

We received a warning, were told of the dire consequences of our act, including the possibility of substantial fines.

We were appropriately contrite, promised that in future we would bring along TVs and radios (leaving unsaid admonishments that he could have told us when we arrived that a fire ban was in effect).

Eventually, the host left us on a happy note, it was time for us to head home, and near Hope the weather cooled enough to cut the air conditioning.

The fish will be there for a more seasonable weather trip, and the boat leak will be eliminated with about 10 minutes of caulking time. markrushton@abbynews.com

Cannons need to be dealt with

If you aren’t yet affected by propane cannons in the blueberry fields, be thankful.

Some people may live within earshot of a distant propane cannon and they think, “It’s not that bad.”

If that faint boom you hear from over the hill every 15 minutes “isn’t that bad,” can you imagine a point where it would become “that bad”?

What would it take?

How about that same faint boom 100 times louder?

How about a noise

like a shotgun blast in a field next to your house, every five minutes, all day long?

How about three or more triple-shot cannons operating in the same nearby field, all set on automatic timers, each one detonating three blasts at different five-minute intervals from 6:30 in the morning until 8 at night?

Think it will be “not that bad” then?

Think again!

This is a very real possibility and it’s happening all across the Fraser Valley.

There is nothing in

the law that can stop anyone from doing this as long as it’s in the name of agriculture.

Don’t believe that people won’t do the absurd, because they will. And don’t think that municipal noise bylaws, our so-called “Good Neighbour Bylaw” or the police will protect you, because they won’t.

Besides causing an immediate hardship to their neighbours with their extremely loud blasts, inconsiderate blueberry growers operating cannons will cause their

neighbours’ property values to decline.

How’s that for a good neighbour?

Makes you want to go and give him a big friendly hug, doesn’t it?

If a cannon begins firing near your home, you are out of luck.

Once you realize that it is “very bad” it will be too late.

Don’t wait until cannons move into your area. They have to be dealt with NOW! Until propane cannons are banned, there are no guarantees that what happened in our neighborhood won’t happen in yours.

Concerned?

Get involved.

Home medical advice needed

Re: New tactics explored to unclog hospitals The one that will help unclog the ER would be if there were nurses that could go out to the elderly people and let the caregivers know if they have to bring them to the ER. I look after my husband and I have brought him to the ER quite a few times because I did not know if I should be worried or not.

I always call the 311 or emergency before I take him in and they have always said to bring him in.

Sometimes it was for nothing and I feel so guilty as I know how busy they are there.

If you could call a nurse or someone with knowledge that could come out and

tell you if you should or not take them in then that would help not clog up the ER, and the caregiver would be put at ease, as I don’t know when

it is dangerous or not, so I bring him in.

The doctors and nurses are so great at the hospital, and we are so lucky that

they have chosen to go into the profession of helping people.

letters Area great for industrial park I am a resident living on Baynes Street, in the proposed “East Gloucester” area.

We have lived here for about 11 years. I recently attended the meeting at the Bradner Hall regarding the drainage tax and the proposed industrial plan for Gloucester East.

I was shocked with the language that was used by some of the people there. I think we can get our point across without all the profanity and name-calling.

People seem to think that we are getting rich

off our property, but I can assure you that is not the case. I am offended at being called “money hungry, greedy, or one of those people,” and that we’re being offered the “moon and stars” from the developer.

We have not received any monies from the developer, contrary to what people are saying.

I would also like to point out that this is not viable farmland.

I applaud Patrick Selinger for speaking out at the Bradner Hall meeting. He is totally right about the poor

soil conditions.

I know that others wanted to speak for the Gloucester East properties, but were too intimidated by the hostile environment, including myself.

People seem to have a mob mentality at these meetings and won’t let you speak. I hope the mayor, councillors and the Agricultural Land Commission give everyone a fair hearing and not let the people from outside the Bradner Area bully their influence on them.

When you look at

the big picture, you’re talking about two per cent of the Bradner area for industrial.

This area would be great for a community friendly industrial park.

It was said at the meeting that Abbotsford would go from collecting $70,000 to $11 million in taxes each year. That would pay for your drainage tax!

Abbotsford is growing rapidly and we have to ensure our children can work and live in Abbotsford.

Mill Lake lily pads a trivial matter

Are you struggling

Re: “Lily pads spoiling Mill Lake,” Aug. 16.

I find it amazing that people can complain about such trivial things.

I have spent most of my younger years living in Abbotsford. While growing up, I spent a decent amount of my

time at Mill Lake.

Personally, I love the look of the lilies blooming in the spring, and the pads hugging the corners of our lake until late summer.

Yet this boon of colour and added nuance has been seen as a negative by certain readers of

The News. I am not sure how or why.

In a previous letter Reynold Nugter had expressed issues that the lily pads “cannot be good for the health of water quality, and the fish in it,” as a reason to get rid of these aquatic plants.

After contacting multiple local nurseries as well as the company that restocks the lake with fish, there seems to be no logical grounds to this statement.

One of the gentlemen I spoke with even stated that the lily pads would, if anything, improve the quality of the water – his basis being that the pads block light from getting to the floor of the lake which would, in turn, hinder the growth of algae.

I appreciate the fact that you must dislike the look of the lily pads, but from experience, most people would disagree.

I also appreciate the fact that you would be willing to volenteer to get rid of the “insidious growth” in our lake, but why not spend your free time volunteering at the local homeless shelter? I’m sure they would appreciate your time a bit more than the ducks.

Former Abbotsford MP Randy White has a formal role with the resurgent B.C. Conservative Party.

Last week, Conservative leader John Cummins announced several senior appointments to his election team. Named as co-chairs of a newly-created issues management committee are White and Brian Peckford, the former premier of Newfoundland and Labrador.

White first won election to the House of Commons as a Reform Party candidate in 1993, representing Langley and Abbotsford, and he was re-elected in 1997, 2000 and

2004. He was caucus chairman and House leader. He wrote the legislation for the National Sex Offender Registry and the National Victims Bill of Rights.

White and Peckford both are retired and live on Vancouver Island.

“I am thrilled that Randy and Brian – who between them held senior public office for 30 years – have agreed to play important roles on our campaign team,” said Cummins.

Lambert Leung, currently the treasurer for the BC Conservative Party, has been named acting campaign manager.

Stabbed in Whistler

Only as young as you feel... and hear.

Whistler RCMP are trying to track down a suspect who stabbed a 30-year-old Abbotsford man during a fight outside a nightclub Wednesday night.

Sgt. Rob Knapton said patrons were leaving the Max Fish at about 2 a.m. when an altercation occurred. The suspect pulled out a knife, stabbed the victim in the stomach and fled.

The victim was taken to the Whistler Medical Clinic for treatment and released.

Knapton said it is believed the suspect was with three other people and is described as being in his 20s, about 5’ 8” and stocky with short blonde hair and tattoos on both shoulders. At the time of the offence, he was shirtless and wearing blue jeans.

Anyone with information is asked to call Whistler RCMP at 604-932-3044 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

School request denied Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

A new private Khalsa school will not be established on the site of the old Simpson Elementary.

Abbotsford council denied a request for rezoning of the property, located at 30691 Simpson Rd., which would have become a 200-student facility.

Joe Chahal, a representative from the Khalsa School, said the location made perfect sense, having formerly been used in a similar fashion.

He told council the land and building had served as an elementary and later a middle school for close to six decades.

“The existing buildings have undergone significant upgrades by the current owners.

The building is ideal for the use as an elementary school,” said Chahal.

When the school closed, the property was purchased by the Metis Provincial Council of BC, which used the facility as a trade school.

Last year, the property went up for sale.

It has been on the market for eight months and Chahal said the Khalsa School has made the only offer.

Despite his arguments, some council members were concerned about placing a school in what they called a busy

A new private Khalsa school will not be allowed to move into the old Simpson Elementary site, currently owned by the Metis Council of BC. industrial area.

Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman said he isn’t against the idea of a new private school, saying there is a need for one.

“It really boils down to great idea, just wrong place.

Industrial lands are very, very tight and very precious,” he said.

He’s not comfortable placing children in an industrial area, but said the city would love to see the group set up the school at an alternative location.

“This was not a case of we don’t want them.”

But other councillors felt the old school was a logical choice.

“I had some sympathy for the applicants. They’ve been looking for a considerable period of time,” said Coun. Simon Gibson. “They’ve found this

location, it’s perfect for their needs, it was used as a school for many, many years and is on the east end of the industrial area.”

He said he believed council should have “at least let it go to public hearing” to give the community a say.

While the rezoning request was defeated, three councillors – Patricia Ross, Dave Loewen and Bill MacGregor – were absent from Monday’s meeting.

“We did consider deferring it until the rest of council got here. Personally I thought that was probably the right move, but in retrospect, I think council, for the most part, spoke on behalf of most council members,” said Banman.

He said if two of the three missing council members ask, the issue can be revisited.

The car was spotted by police, but the driver led officers on a high-speed chase, which was called off when it reached a dangerous level. The Suzuki was found abandoned, and the driver – believed to be Poirier – was not located.

Before any of those incidents, Poirier was found guilty of groping a woman in Abbotsford in September 2005 as she was putting groceries into her car. He received a 30-day jail sentence.

The woman testified that Poirier had grabbed her buttocks as he brushed past her,

The Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) is reminding citizens that the recent stretch of hot, dry conditions requires extra vigilance to prevent grass or forest fires.

Deputy Fire Chief Mike Helmer urges smokers to use noncombustible ashtrays and to never flick their cigarette butts onto the road.

The City of Abbotsford regulates all outdoor burning between June 1 and Sept. 30, and a total burning ban is in effect. This includes campfires, burn barrels and even woodfuelled burn pits.

Sask teams sweep to gold at Westerns Strong pitching powers Bruno men, Carnduff women Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

JOHN MORROW

Abbotsford News

Carnduff Steelers pitcher Aimee Unchulenko unleashes the heat against the North Delta Sunfire in the Western Canadian women’s fastpitch final.

Small-town Saskatchewan stole the show at the Western Canadian Men’s and Women’s Fastpitch Championships in Abbotsford, and Carnduff Steelers coach Allan Hubbard thinks he knows the reason why.

“What else is there to do out there?” joked Hubbard, whose women’s team hails from a farming community of 1,100 located in relative isolation in the southeast corner of the province.

“We play ball and we play hockey.

Bruno (Merchants, the men’s champs), they’ve been here at Westerns many years in a row just like us. We feed off the excitement of the game.”

played on Sunday at Exhibition Park, were defined by tremendous pitching performances and pivotal plays at the plate.

On the men’s side, Bruno ace hurler Anthony Sparvier carried his team to victory. In the morning semifinal, the Merchants fell behind Nanaimo Wheatsheaf 3-1 in the early going, and Sparvier came on in relief and pitched five strong innings as Bruno rallied for a 6-4 win.

In the final, the Merchants faced a Lloydminster Steel Dodgers team that had beaten them twice already in the tournament – during the round robin, and in the playoff game between the top two seeds that yielded an automatic trip to the final.

Sparvier stymied the Dodgers through five innings as his team

built a 3-0 lead, but Lloydminster broke through in the sixth, loading the bases with one out. Bryn Redhead dribbled a single through the right side of the infield to drive in two runs, and Evan Taylor’s sacrifice fly knotted the score.

In the top of the seventh, Bruno mounted an offensive rally of its own. With two runners on base, Jordie Gagnon put the ball in play with a grounder, and Justin Dauvin tried to score from third.

The throw to home was on time, but Lloydminster’s catcher couldn’t hang on, and Dauvin made extra sure of that by running him over in a huge collision.

The Merchants added one more run on a sacrifice fly, and Sparvier finished off the Dodgers Continued on A23

Abbotsford News

Local stakeholders downplayed a Vancouver newspaper report that Vancouver Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini is interested in buying the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre and stationing the Canucks’ AHL affiliate there.

Abbotsford city manager Frank Pizzuto said he is not aware of any dealings between Aquilini and the city.

He noted the rumour has come up before, but said no talks have taken place.

“It’s not on the market,” he said, referring to the AESC. “I don’t know where that comes from.”

Lane Sweeting, a member of the local group which operates the AHL’s Abbotsford Heat, echoed Pizzuto’s statement.

“The first I heard about it is when I read the report,” Sweeting said. “If they are sniffing around, I guess they would go to the

city first.”

The Canucks responded to queries from The News by issuing a statement via email.

“Canucks Sports & Entertainment maintains a strong, ongoing relationship with their AHL affiliate the Chicago Wolves,” the statement read. “The club will not address speculative reports or discuss the partnerships of other NHL teams.”

Fueling the Aquilini speculation is the notion that a Canucks farm team in Abbotsford would make sense on a number of levels.

A local AHL affiliate would further strengthen the Canucks’ alreadystrong brand, while facilitating greater convenience for the team in terms of player recalls and prospect development.

The rumoured transaction could benefit the city, too.

The Heat are affiliated with the Calgary Flames, one of Continued on A24

Cascades hoopsters sweep NCAA foes

The University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team began the preseason in spectacular fashion, sweeping a pair of games against NCAA opponents last week.

On Monday, the Cascades staged a fourth-quarter rally to top the Ball State Cardinals 60-57. Then on Tuesday evening, they raced out to a huge lead against the Schreiner University Mountaineers en route to a 76-47 blowout win.

Ball State is an NCAA Div. I program, while Schreiner plays at the Div. III level.

The victories marked the first time the Cascades women had swept a twogame series against NCAA teams, and the Ball State win was their first against a Div. 1 squad in five years.

The Cardinals opened up a six-point lead midway through the fourth quarter on Monday, but UFV went on a 12-3 run to end the game.

UFV centre Sarah Wierks

scored a game-high 15 points, while Nicole Wierks and Courtney Bartel posted 12 points each. Brandy Woody and Jasmin Hitchens, with 14 points apiece, were the top scorers for Ball State.

Against the Mountaineers, the Cascades dominated from the outset, building a 23-3 lead in the first quarter.

Aieisha Luyken (17 points), Kayli Sartori (11 points) and Sarah Wierks (10 points, nine rebounds) led the way.

Q The UFV women’s soc-

The Cascades wrapped up the trip with a 2-0 loss to the Concordia Cavaliers.

The UFV women returned to play an exhibition game on Saturday at their new home park, Chilliwack’s Exhibition Field, and they battled the Capilano Blues to a scoreless draw.

Q The UFV men’s soccer team also played Capilano on Saturday, and they blasted the Blues 4-0. Sasa Plavsic, Craig Robinson, Cole Almond and Dalibor

cer team posted a win and two losses on a five-day exhibition trip through the state of Oregon.

Last Wednesday, they opened the jaunt with a 2-1 loss to NCAA Div. 1 program Portland State, with Sunayna Samra scoring the lone Cascades goal off a corner from Donna Pinning.

UFV notched a 1-0 win over Corban University, an NAIA squad, thanks to Danika Snook’s header off a pass from Tori Thomas.

Plavsic scored the goals, while Mark Village and Matthew Kidwell split the shutout victory.

Q UFV’s sports teams continue preseason preparations this week, highlighted by a pair of home games.

The men’s hoopsters host an NCAA Div. 1 opponent, the Cal State Northridge Matadors, at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Envision Athletic Centre. The women’s soccer team faces SFU at 7:30 p.m. at Exhibition Field.

in the bottom half of the inning to set off a celebration.

Bruno, a town of 450 people located 90 kilometres east of Saskatoon, won the Western men’s title three years in a row (2007 to ’09), but lost in the final each of the last two years.

“It was tough,” acknowledged Merchants coach Ray Bender. “We rebuilt again, brought a few new guys in, and just kept plugging away.”

Bender called his star pitcher Sparvier “a real workhorse.”

“He pitched 12 innings today,” Bender marveled. “We couldn’t ask for better.”

Like the Bruno men, the Carnduff women have been a fixture at Westerns in recent years. But while the Merchants were crafting a dynasty, the Steelers had gone a decade since their lone Western title in 2002.

They celebrated that anniversary in thrilling fashion, edging the North Delta Sunfire 2-1 in the final.

Carnduff scratched out a pair of early runs, and pitcher Aimee Unchulenko kept North Delta off the scoreboard through six innings.

The Sunfire finally got something going in the top of the seventh, putting runners on second and third with two outs. The next North Delta batter sent a single into shallow centre field, scoring one run, and the second baserunner rounded third and tried to score.

But Carnduff centre fielder Jana Sittler came up with a strong throw to Unchulenko, who tagged the runner out a couple strides shy of the plate.

“It’s not the way you want to finish a game, but it’s exciting, for sure,” Hubbard said.

“The girls are just overwhelmed. There are girls on this team who weren’t here when we won it in 2002, but now they know what it’s like to win a championship.”

Q The Yard Dogs, the lone Abbotsford squad on either side of the draw, missed the playoffs after posting a 2-4 round-robin record.

The local men’s team got off to a promising start Thursday, winning two of three games, highlighted by a clutch two-run homer

by Tim Folster in the seventh inning of a 5-3

win over the Delisle (Sask.) Diamond Dogs.

But that was the last time they would taste victory – they lost their next three, including a 6-3 defeat to Bruno on Saturday which would have put them into a tiebreaker for the last playoff berth.

It was still a tremendous season for the Yard Dogs, who won the Fraser Valley Men’s Fastball League and B.C. provincial titles.

Q Tourney chair Harv Wiens wanted to bring the Senior B Westerns to Abbotsford to boost the sport locally, and he felt that goal was accomplished.

“There are a lot of old-timers who came out who hadn’t seen a lot of good, quality ball in a while,” he noted.

“They were pretty excited about it.”

Heat pleased with 2012-13 schedule: Walter Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

In the event of an NHL lockout, the Abbotsford Heat are in prime position to take advantage.

A front-loaded slate of home games is one of the hallmarks of the Heat’s 2012-13 schedule, released last Friday.

Ten of the Heat’s first 13

games of the campaign will be played at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. That’s in marked contrast to last season, when just eight of the Heat’s first 25 games were at home.

The front-loaded schedule would seem to stand the Heat in good stead if there’s an NHL work stoppage, in terms of generating local interest in the absence of

NHL games.

Abbotsford opens at home on Friday, Oct. 12 against the Peoria Rivermen, and Heat president Ryan Walter said he’s happy with the schedule. “I think it’s as good as we can get at home,� he said. “We have 13 Friday nights, 13 Saturday nights. We’re really pleased about that.�

The Heat are switching

divisions this season, moving from the West to the North, and they’ll see more of their Canadian rivals, the Toronto Marlies and the Hamilton Bulldogs. Both teams visit the AESC four times.

The Heat have also retained their eight-game series – four home, four away – with the Chicago Wolves.

The Vancouver Canucks’ affiliate is far and away the

Heat’s best-drawing opponent, and they visit on Oct. 19-20 and Jan. 11-12. “Having the Wolves come to town in October, we think, is going to be very powerful,� Walter said. “Hopefully it allows us to get off to a great start.�

The local franchise experimented with Sunday matinees last season, scheduling seven 1 p.m. starts, but those

game drew poorly. This season, the Heat have just three Sunday games, and they all start at 4 p.m.

The Heat are also bringing back the School Day Game, a partnership with the Abbotsford School District.

This year’s event, featuring the Rochester Americans, is on Feb. 5 at 10:30 a.m.

For a full Heat schedule, visit theahl.com.

Rumoured transaction would be complex Selling the AESC could also allow the city to lower the debt load on the facility while also eliminating the annual operating deficit.

The AESC’s projected deficit for 2011 is $2.83 million, which includes $1.7 million for building expenses and $1.1 million earmarked to cover the hockey team’s financial shortfall for 2011-12. The team’s fiscal year ended in June, and the final numbers are expected next month.

But any Canucks-related transaction would be a complex one. Even if Aquilini were able to strike a deal with the city to buy the arena, he’d

Vancouver’s division rivals, and have struggled at the box office over their three-year history. Attendance has dropped each year, from 3,897 to 3,807 to 3,545 last season. But a team linked to the Canucks would be a better draw.

The attendance issues have cost taxpayers, as the Heat have a supply fee agreement with the City of Abbotsford that guarantees the team a break-even budget up to $5.7 million annually. The shortfall was $450,000 in 2009-10, and rose to $1.37 million in 2010-11.

have to come to agreements with the Flames and the local operating group, Fraser Valley Sports and Entertainment.

The Flames own the franchise, while Sweeting’s FVSE group holds the AHL board of governors’ approval to operate a team in the region.

It’s worth noting that the Canucks do not own an AHL franchise, and are heading into the second year of a two-year affiliation agreement with the Chicago Wolves. “We have a contract with Calgary, and discussions would have to take place between Vancouver and them,� Pizzuto noted.

Back to School

by Anna BONTHOUX

Now is the perfect time for parents to get their kids fashionably ‘cool for school’ come September.

Current style trends cannot be ignored; they are bold, colorful, well put together but have an air of “individuality” and “anything goes”. We’re seeing the Creative Girls in spike-studded ballet flats, the Candy Lovers in neon-on-neon, and denim and backpacks in every print and color.

Texty tees have quirky statements like “I mustache you a question” and “I <3 Haters”. We are also seeing tons of scarves and accessories that give kids, especially the Glam Girls, a chance to define their own style.

Jeans for boys are still a narrowish straight leg to a skinny, but several brands have issued an ultra-skinny that Hipsters love. Meanwhile, the girls have never had a wider range of colors to choose from. This season you will see hints of tangerines, hot pinks, ultramarines to dusty roses.

There are also plenty of soft cotton jean leggings in all kinds of tribal and animal prints. Baggier boyfriend cuts are super cute rolled up with ballet flats. Hey girls, just remember skinnier cuts look best with looser tops but the boyfriend cuts look great with both loose and fitted tops.

Footwear is always a great way to mark your personal style. The Olympic Athletes sported a ton of neon trainers and we are seeing everything from the classic slip-on Vans on the Skater Boys to patten leather and neon Adidas high-tops. Ballet flats are out in everything from sequins to Navajo prints and nautical to leopard. Desert boots and beaded moccasins are everywhere too.

Layers and pattern mixing is always cool. The Prep Boys are leaning towards their favorite jeans with a plaid button-up over a striped tee with a denim or varsity jackets and a pair of slip-on Vans or Converse. The Techy Boys have replaced last year’s bold and colorful stripes with a more understated super-thin stripe and bowties, yes bowties! The Social Butterflies are loving looks; like flirty floral skirts mixed with denim button-up boyfriend shirts, wrists full of friendship bracelets and army jackets. These girls never forget their phones or their printed scarves.

Trends are all about personality and individuality. There are almost no rules to break as long as you are wearing what you like with confidence. So wear your heart on your jean jacket, your message on your t-shirt, your friends on your wrists and your personality on your feet.

Anna Bonthoux has been working in some facet of the fashion and entertainment industry since high school. Raised in the Fraser Valley this former Model, turned Model Scout, turned Model Agent, turned Artist Agent & Print Producer has recently launched yet another project called Rad Kids. Rad Kid is a street casted modeling division of non-conventional models. Anna’s career has given her the opportunity to work with top Creative Directors, Photographers, Models, Fashion Stylists, Makeup Artists and Hairstylists.
