LINGERIE DROPPED

Food bank, Salvation Army campaigns fall short

A5 Lingerie football league rebrands, to become Legends in new season

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Abbotsford’s two main agencies for helping families in need during the holiday season both fell more than $100,000 short of reaching their fundraising goals this year. The Abbotsford Christmas Bureau and Food Bank collected $411,000 toward its $600,000 objective, while the Salvation Army raised about $372,000 toward its $500,000 mark, as of late last week. Dave Murray, executive director of the food bank, speculated that people are still reeling from the economic downturn and can’t afford to donate, or contribute as much as they have in the past. Meanwhile, demand was up. Murray said the organization served about 1,000 more people throughout December than it did the previous year at the same time. He said clients were coming through the doors right up until Christmas Eve to receive food hampers and kids’ gifts. “Many people were saying, ‘We tried to see if we could make it through Christmas, but we just couldn’t do it.’” Many families who register with the Christmas Bureau are sponsored by businesses, schools and individuContinued on A3

Trans Mountain pipeline plan grows

AX A3

Larger pipe size as Kinder Morgan signs more shippers

Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Kinder Morgan Canada now plans to boost its proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline from 750,000 to 890,000 barrels per day. The nearly 20 per cent increase in the planned capacity pushes the cost of the project up to $5.4 billion from $4.1 billion. The company previously estimated the project would bring a five-fold increase in the number of tankers to about 25 a month or about 300 per year loading at its Burnaby terminal. Company president Ian Anderson said he now expects up to 34 tankers per month – potentially around 400 per year. The larger project reflects the recent signing of more long-term contracts with shippers, bringing the total committed volume on the twinned line to 700,000 barrels per day. The remaining pipeline capacity would be sold on the spot market and Anderson anticipated that will be enough to supply existing customers, such as the Chevron refinery in Burnaby and other refineries in Washington State. He framed the increased demand for the pipeline as a strong statement of support from the markets and Canadian oil companies, who are increasingly forced to sell oil at a discount because of the lack of pipeline capacity to get it to international markets.

Kinder Morgan Canada now plans to increase the capacity of a twinned Trans Mountain pipeline, which runs from Edmonton to Vancouver, through Abbotsford.

“We are very, very pleased with the response from our customers,” Anderson said. Asked if a further increase in Trans Mountain’s capacity could be proposed to meet even more oil company demand – perhaps if Enbridge withdrew its Northern Gateway pipeline proposal – Anderson did not rule the possibility out. “It could,” he said. “But I can’t speculate on what our plans or design potential might be at that stage. This is the project we’re designing for right now.” He said he’s hearing growing “concern and angst” from oil producers about their ability to access markets.

“We are seeing more and more support and interest in our project,” Anderson said. “I wouldn’t say I could connect that interest directly with Northern Gateway’s prospects.” Enbridge’s project would run across northern B.C. to Kitimat, extending oil pipeline over new ground and hundreds of salmon rivers, while Kinder Morgan’s would largely follow the existing 60-yearold pipeline’s 1,150-kilometre right-of-way from northern Alberta through Kamloops, Abbotsford, and to the Lower Mainland. Anderson said the bigger Trans Mountain capacity will require a larger pipe size – 36-

inch diameter instead of 30 inch – in areas such as the Lower Mainland. Kinder Morgan expects to file its formal application to build the pipeline with the National Energy Board by the end of the year. If approved, the expanded Trans Mountain pipeline could be operational late in 2017. The company conducted initial public information sessions last year but much more is promised. “One of the greatest challenges is to demonstrate and convince the public that tanker traffic through Port Metro Vancouver can continue to be done in a safe manner,” Anderson said. The provincial government has said Kinder Morgan’s project will have to meet the same preconditions B.C. has set for Enbridge to proceed, including world-class safety standards and a share of benefits. Kinder Morgan officials say they’ve already been preparing for further study ordered by U.S. authorities into Canadian tanker traffic near Washington State. Christianne Wilhelmson of the Georgia Strait Alliance said Kinder Morgan may see support among its industry partners but predicts solid opposition among B.C. residents. “There is no common ground,” Wilhelmson said, adding the company is focused on getting oil out to market that environmental groups want kept in the ground. “They don’t view risks the same way. ”

als who provide them with food and gifts. But Murray said fewer sponsors came forward this season, putting even more pressure on the food bank to fill in. He said the agency usually has a good stock of leftover toys to set aside for the following Christmas, but not this time. “For the first time ever, we have no reserves. “We’re virtually out of toys.” Murray said a further fundraising push will be required to help the food

bank reach its $600,000 goal, so that staffing or programs won’t have to be cut. Deb Lowell of the Salvation Army said a similar push will be required for that agency to ensure it can maintain services in Abbotsford-Mission. She said fundraising is an ever-growing challenge, with people having less to give while demand for services increases. “It’s always a challenge for us because we want to be good stewards of the money the public gives us, but on the other side, we

have a demand that doesn’t stop … Poverty is a huge issue for us, and we have to do whatever we can to meet those demands.” Another Abbotsford agency seeing a decline in fundraising over the holiday season was Cyrus Centre for at-risk youth. The centre was $20,000 away from reaching its $100,000 goal, but director Les Talvio hopes that a fundraising event on Feb. 23 will close the gap. The Coldest Night of the Year Walk, one of 20 taking place across Canada, starts at Sevenoaks Alliance

Church (2575 Gladwin Rd.) at 5:15 p.m. Participants can choose from three routes – 2 km, 5 km or 10 km. Walkers who raise $150 (adults) or $75 (youths) do not have to pay the $25 registration fee.

‘Scream’ robber strikes twice Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Abbotsford Police are investigating two robberies in which the suspect was wearing a replica of the mask from the popular “Scream” horror movies. The first incident took place at about 1 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 2 at a convenience store in the 3000 block of Immel Street. A man wearing the mask demanded cash from an employee and displayed what appeared to be a black handgun. He then fled on foot. The second robbery occurred on Saturday, Jan. 5 at about 6 p.m. at a gas station in the 31000 block of Livingstone Avenue. In addition to wearing the mask, the man was carrying a black bag and a black handgun. After he demanded cash, the employee grabbed and pushed the robber, who fled without cash. The employee was not injured. Const. Ian MacDonald said although the worker’s action were understandable, police do not condone such a response. MacDonald said although police believe the two robberies are connected, they are not certain whether the same man was involved in both incidents. Anyone with information is asked to call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-8595225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The BC Angels are losing their lingerie – in name. The Abbotsfordbased team and other Canadian squads will no longer be playing in the Lingerie Football League. Last week, LFL officials announced the league will be rebranded, and renamed the Legends Football League. And the name lingerie isn’t the only thing being dropped, uniforms will also be altered. According to a press release issued by the league, “despite the tremendous success of the Lingerie Football League since premiering in 2009, LFL officials are now positioning the global brand to gain more recognition as a sport.” The LFL rebranding announcement also said, “Performance wear replaces all lingerie aspects of uniform; new design of logos will remove any sexy female figures; redesign of shoulder pads to increase protection; and tagline shifts from the current ‘True Fantasy Football’ to the new ‘Women of the Gridiron.’ ” “This is the next step in the maturation of our now global sport,” said Mitchell S. Mortaza, founder of the league. The B.C. Angels were formed last year as one of four teams in the new LFL Canada. The squad, which plays out of the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, had a successful four-game regular season, eventually winning the league championship in November. Abbotsford’s Darnelle Bernemann, the only local player on the Angels, said she and her teammates have known about the rebranding for more than a month, but didn’t know what the changes would be. “I like it. I didn’t know what route they were going to go or if they would maintain LFL or something completely different,”

Mondays in February between 9 and 11 p.m. Statistics released Thursday by the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) indicate those are the most common establishments, day of the week, month of the year and time of day for business robberies to occur. The figures cover a three-year period from 2009 to 2012. Const. Ian MacDonald said the stats take into account robberies that occurred at all types of businesses, except banks. He said the figures reveal that robbers are paying attention to their targets, choosing places that have easy in-and-out access, at days and times when customers aren’t as frequent. Of the 118 incidents recorded, almost 25 per cent took place at gas stations, followed by pizza spots (20 per cent) and fast food restaurants (17). In comparison, pharmacies accounted for nine per cent of the incidents, while coffee shops recorded four per cent. The robberies most often occurred on a Monday, followed by Thursday and Sunday – days not typically viewed as peak customer periods. The most common time of day was be-

tween 9 and 11 p.m., when not as many customers were around and many businesses were closing for the night. MacDonald said, by far, the most number of robberies occurred in February, followed by April, July and August. “We don’t really have a working theory (for why those months are highest),” he said. MacDonald said a statistic that particularly concerns police is that 52 per cent of the businesses that were robbed had no video surveillance cameras.

Underground car lots targeted What police are describing as a minicrime spree took place on Friday night in Abbotsford. About eight vehicles were broken into, all along George Ferguson Way. The vehicles were parked in underground lots and had electronic equipment and other valuables taken from them. All the incidents occured in just a few hours. “Clearly a small number of bad guys were just basically moving up the street, going from one underground to the next,” said Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald.

A suspected dump of drug waste required the attention of Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service on Thursday afternoon on Dyke Road, off Marsh McCormick Road. Several 45-gallon drums of what fire officials said appeared to be chemicals for drug manufacturing had been dropped at the side of the road in the Glen Valley area of Abbotsford. Assistant Fire Chief Dave Rivett said the waste likely came from a drug lab creating ecstasy or methamphetamines. Rivett said the drums, some of which were in a small creek, were not

Rivett said the illegal disposal of drug lab waste is a serious issue. For every kilo-

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I Tuesday, January 15, 2013

End of ineffective Kyoto Protocol The new year brought in one long-overdue change – the end of the Kyoto Protocol. Canada signed the climate change initiative back in 2002, when Jean Chretien was prime minister. It called for a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions – six per cent below 1990 levels by 2012. That didn’t happen. Overall world carbon emissions are up by 58 per cent over 1990. Is there a need to keep the growth of carbon emissions to more reasonable levels? Of course. There is considerable proof of at least some global warming, although many skeptics say that the science has been corrupted by political activism. No one can deny, though, that both the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps are shrinking and the waters close to the poles are open for far longer periods than ever recorded. It’s simply good environmental behaviour to cut back on carbon emissions as much as possible, if for no other reason than to conserve precious fossil fuel resources and actively promote alternatives. Nonetheless, Kyoto was never a viable option. The biggest polluters in the world refused to sign it, or even abide by its most

modest aims. Its call for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions were unrealistic, unless the developed world was to go into a selfinduced economic depression. As it is, most of the developed world has been in a serious recession for the past four years and emission levels are still rising. The B.C. government was late in jumping on the Kyoto bandwagon, with a carbon tax, carbon credit purchases by government bodies and promotion of alternative fuels. While the latter makes some sense, the first two do not. The carbon tax is simply a cash cow for the province. It has not changed behaviour but, like the property purchase tax, it handsomely boosts government revenue. The carbon credit program involves taxpayers subsidizing private companies for capital projects that they would likely undertake anyway. It is ridiculous to demand that schools and hospitals be carbon neutral when the tax dollars spent to do so go to the private sector. The federal and provincial governments need to have realistic programs to reduce emissions, not ineffective cash grabs. – The Langley Times

Done with care, we can have it both ways Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand When I read last week that the U.S. is sending its Coast Guard to investigate oil tanker traffic coming into Vancouver, due to concerns about possible environmental damage to the San Juan Islands, I thought it a bit hypocritical. The reason: for the past 40 years, about 500 oil tankers a year visit U.S. refineries just south of the border. No concern it seems about them, but if Canada wants to increase its volume, there’s suddenly an issue about potential oil spills? Seems I’m not the only one who wonders about the anomaly of protest against Canadian shipment of oil while the massive volumes transported adjacent to our waters are seemingly ignored. While I was mulling over this topic, the Vancouver Sun’s Pete McMartin published a similar piece on Saturday. Pete points out that not only is there

Cherry Point just south of Boundary Bay, but two more refineries in Ferndale and another two in Anacortes, all of which are in receipt of daily tanker traffic from, I’m assuming, Valdez and other Alaskan oil shipping points. In addition, Cherry Point also receives Canadian crude via pipeline from Kinder Morgan – the evil incarnate to environmentalists in this area. Point of fact, according to McMartin, we on the Lower Mainland receive 20,000 barrels of gasoline daily from Washington State to keep our cars and trucks and the economy running. And if it weren’t for the jet fuel sent north to YVR, no passenger planes would get off the ground in B.C. So, are we dependent on oil, and are we dependent on tankers and pipelines? Yes, and yes, and so is our economy that supplies us with such things as health care, education and the ability for an income that allows us the freedom to protest. Washington State, and the American economy, is willing to take environmental risks … and believe me, there are risks that could irreparably damage the environmental health of the Salish Sea/ Georgia Strait/Gulf Islands. Should we

add to that risk by increasing tanker traffic out of Vancouver or do we, while the Americans continue to receive and process oil to sell to us, allow ourselves to compromise our economic health? How is it that we can protest ships sailing out of Vancouver, and pipelines

Are we dependent on oil, and are we dependent on tankers and pipelines? Yes, and yes... supplying American refineries, while ignoring what’s happening immediately south of our border? In a perfect world, there would be no mining, no clear-cutting and no burning of fossil fuels – but it would likely be a world with people living in the Stone Age. Our freedom to move, to build homes, create jobs and develop societies are all tied to exploiting what is loosely termed “our environment.” Should we rape it?

No, but until some form of benign energy source is discovered, we have to use it as best we can. And with billions of people now on the planet, progress good or bad isn’t going to suddenly come to an abrupt halt because a relative handful of people in B.C. say ‘no’ to any more exploitation. Personally, I think I’d rather see China or India burn refined oil than coal, which is vastly more polluting and which, by the way, is shipped in such quantity from British Columbia that Roberts Bank is the largest coal transfer port on the west coast of North America. So protest the twinning of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Pipeline if you wish, but remember that if we don’t allow the expansion, the oil will simply take another route from Alberta down through Washington or Oregon to the coast for transshipment. They’ll get the financial rush, Asia will get the oil, and we’ll get yet another economic downturn. You choose what you want to sustain, lifestyle or environment when, if we undertake these projects carefully, we can have both. markrushton@abbynews.com

Easy to bellyache about garbage I totally disagree with Mr. Garrett’s letter of last week. Abbotsford is not the only city adopting this new garbage system. God gave us this tiny planet to live on, and we have an obligation to take care of it. It has to support more and more people all the time. What is so difficult about separating the garbage you create? It is so easy to bellyache, whine, and complain. Be part of the solution, and make the world a better place. It will make you feel better. On garbage day, I noticed that there were people who did not even bother to read the literature that was sent to every household.

The Fraser Valley is one of the most beautiful places on Earth to live. We should take care of it, not abuse it. The attitude of some people is so selfish, and difficult, to comprehend. Let all of us make an effort to make our valley a beautiful place to live. Together we can do it. And to all those who throw garbage by the side of the road, please stop! Brian Gerty Abbotsford

A simple system I can’t believe the complaining about the new waste collection system. It’s simple, people. Sort as you throw. Designate one receptacle in the house for real garbage – ripped T-shirt, broken cup, used staple, dryer sheets, etc. A blue bag is for recyclables, and all other receptacles in the house are for compostables only. The city webpage has information on what goes where if you’ve lost the pamphlet distributed with the kitchen pail. It’s a simple matter to get things together for weekly or bi-weekly pickup.

Courageous effort What a wonderful, generous young woman Deesh Sekhon must be. Her Girlkind Foundation which she created to change the age-old tradition of female infanticide in some East Asian countries is very courageous, particularly because some people in her own community may not always support what she is trying to do. I am sure that Langley MP, Mark Warawa, who is sponsoring a similar Bill 408 in the House of Commons will be encouraged that this grassroots foundation is advocating the very thing his Bill is hoping to bring into law. Thank you, Tim Fitzgerald, for this wellwritten, informative article.

Point guard Brown named MVP From A16

up the intensity level by throwing a fullcourt press at Yale. Fairfax was also proficient in transition, and Hill thrilled the capacity crowd with several thunderous throwdowns. “The kids like playing that way (uptempo),” Fairfax coach Harvey Kitani said. “You’ve got to be able to play a variety of ways depending how the game’s going, but it was good to us throughout the tournament.” Yale was the underdog, but they were within striking distance much of the night. The locals trailed by 12 at the half, and were within 11 late in the third. But Fairfax took over, reeling off an 11-2 run bridging the third and fourth quarters to push the lead to 20 and essentially drain any suspense from the proceedings. Hill paced Fairfax with 24 points, while Theus Jr. (17), Jonathan Brown (13) and Sage Woodruff (13) also scored in double figures. Yale’s JJ Pankratz tied Hill for gamehigh scoring honours with 24, while Jauquin Bennett-Boire chipped in with 14. It was Fairfax’s second Snowball title – they also won in 2011. In other action, the St. George’s Saints knocked off the Kelowna Owls 74-70 in the thirdplace game. The W.J. Mouat Hawks edged the host Abby Senior Panthers 69-58 in the fifth-sixth contest, while the MEI Eagles won the consolation final 68-59 over the Caledonia Kermodes. Fairfax point guard Brown was tourney MVP, while Hill was named top defensive player. Pankratz won the Best of Abbotsford award, selected by the Abbotsford News, which recognizes the Snowball’s top local player. First team allstars included Hill, Theus Jr., Pankratz, Bennett-Boire and Buster Truss of Kelowna, while second team all-stars were Drew Urquhart and Deklan Chung of St. George’s, and Tristan Etienne of Mouat (only three were selected).

Golden Bears take advantage of Grewal’s absence

From A17

after Saturday’s game. “I didn’t like it so much tonight.” Grewal’s absence was a fortunate break for Craddock and the No. 6-ranked Golden Bears, as it left the No. 4-ranked Cascades – already a smallish squad – vastly out-sized. UFV battled impressively, though, and took a 44-35 lead into the half. But the Cascades faced a defensive

dilemma – when they collapsed on Alberta’s big men, it left the threepoint line open. The Golden Bears exploited that quandary with some sharp ball movement, and pulled away by out-scoring UFV 28-11 in the fourth quarter. “Obviously being shorthanded really cost us inside,” noted Cascades coach Adam Friesen, whose team sits second in the Pacific Division of

Canada West at 7-5. “But I’m very proud – we competed as hard as we could. We showed a lot of character . . . once we get healthy, we’ll be a better team because of this.” Freeman poured in a game-high 27 points, while point guard James York had 15 points and 12 assists. n The UFV hoopsters hit the road to face the Calgary Dinos on Friday and the Lethbridge Pronghorns Saturday.

With a broken heart I inform you of Trent’s passing at Menno Home in Abbotsford, BC. Born to Gerald (Jerry) and Glenna Ketcheson in Yorkton, SK, who predeceased him at ages 93 and 88 respectively. Also predeceased by many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews and many friends. He leaves to mourn his only sibling, brother Garth (Carole) and their many children, also his chosen brother Russell Pepler (Lorraine) and their families. He also leaves his wife Eva and their children Terry (Chris), Joanne and Kim (Krista), Colleen (Brian), David, Darren and Diana (John) and many darling grandchildren and precious great grandchildren! Also grieving are Judith Ann Folk, many, many friends and loyal customers of Abbotsford Sandblasting. We were blessed to have him and his love in our lives for so long. He was so humorous, loyal and fun to be with. Also a great cartoonist! A celebration of his life will be held at a later date to be announced. In lieu of flowers the family would ask you to consider a contribution to Alzheimer’s Research, Menno Home, MCC or any of the thrift stores that he loved. Trent said “From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for being with me all the way, for never leaving me and for loving me so much”. We would like to thank his loving family, all the staff at the care home who looked after him, all those who helped us in any way during his illness and Wiebe & Jeske, burial providers. “Till we meet again”. May God bless you.

Sally was born in London, England, Jan. 26, 1951 as the youngest of three sisters, to William and Olive Parsons. She emigrated to Canada in 1975, and prospered in her new environment while raising Katie and Emma. She became a leading Notary Public in the Abbotsford community for twenty years, served as president of the Society of Notaries, and became the first woman Rotarian in Western Canada in 1984. Sally also served as a valued board member of Envision Credit Union for 14 years, contributing her unique communication skills and insight to Envision’s board of directors. Sally was always evolving, and her last career shift was to become a Chartered Mediator, doing challenging but rewarding work, predominantly for the Ministry of Children and Families. Sally’s continued success elevated her to the level of “Mentoring Mediator” and her services were in high demand. Unfortunately, a first serious stroke in October of 2009 halted her impressive mediation career. Even so, at that time, Sally demonstrated her courage and resolve by not only proving the neurologist’s gloomy prognosis wrong, but battled through speech and physio therapies for the next three years, making amazing progress in both areas. Sadly, and as a huge shock to everyone in light of her steady progress, the last stroke was a battle just too large for one person to win. Sally loved travelling and cooking, and doted on her three grandsons. She will be remembered as a vivacious, warm hearted, and loving woman with an infectious sense of humour, who always lived life in the moment. Sally’s strong faith gave her an enviable courage about life and its challenges. She will be missed by all who knew her. The family would like to thank the wonderful doctors and staff at Lions Gate Hospital and the North Shore Hospice. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the North Shore Stroke Recovery Centre in North Vancouver. e-mail: info@nssrc.org Phone 778-340-5803. A celebration of Sally’s life will be held at the Salvation Army’s Cascade Community Church, 35910 Delair Road in Abbotsford, BC on Saturday, January 19th at 1:00 p.m.
