A group of middle school students came up with a unique way to cheer on the Abbotsford Heat during the AHL hockey team’s annual school day game on Tuesday morning. The promotion – a partnership between the team, School District 34 and Fraser Valley Distance Education – saw thousands of school kids bused to the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre for the game, and they watched the Heat defeat the Rochester Americans 3-2.

George Murray has faced a learning curve in the six weeks since his appointment as Abbotsford’s new city manager, but he is prepared to catch up on city operations quickly. “You can look from the outside of an organization and think you understand how decisions were made… but you truly don’t understand until you get inside.” Murray started his new position on Monday, leaving his previous role as the chief administrative officer of the Fraser Valley Regional District. He was appointed in December after the resignation of former city manager Frank Pizzuto. Mayor Bruce Banman said the turnaround was

Robert Bateman Secondary is also rehearsing for its first musical, “Seussical.” Performances will be held at the Clarke Theatre in Mission on Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m., March 1 at 7:30 p.m. and March 2 at 2 p.m. See abbynews.com for details, and watch for more upcoming coverage in The News.

Public engagement with local government is something Murray said he finds admirable, and he places an importance on making information available. He said his aim is to provide transparency on city operations while focusing on results. “The challenge is providing enough information that the public understands why we do things, but not spending all of our time trying to explain it instead of doing the job and getting things done.” Murray said his opinions on city issues will be made available to council, and therefore, the public. “When I know the Y issue, we will do a public report to council. When I know what I think of the financial issues, we’ll do a report to council.”

She will be missed.” Peary said her passionate contributions to the community and the arts must be remembered. “Her heart was in this community.” Caldwell was also a local realtor and spent 14 years working with Landmark Realty, and served on the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. Peary said she gained renown as a realtor for her ability to stage homes beautifully. “She has this artistic flair that she brought to everything.” Caldwell is survived by husband Lyle and two children.

QUESTION

WebTalk

OF THE WEEK Do you support the city’s new ban on the sale, trade or distribution of shark fins?

No chickens allowed I agree dogs are way more disturbing than chickens all day long! Silly they have to give this lady a hard time. Find something better to do. There are bigger fish to fry. Lame. Angela Giesbrecht

To answer, go to abbynews.com

Abbotsford needs to rethink this. How much more wholesome a hobby is there than to raise quiet chickens and welcome visiting neighbors to enjoy them. Risa Walters Barkman

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Do you think city council should try to develop a policy against “offensive” events in public facilities?

Yes, Vancouver does allow backyard chickens and they are experiencing problems. Seems no one thought of how people would deal with injured or ill chickens; nor how the chickens and their environment would attract rodents and other critters (e.g. chicken-hungry racoons). Want chickens? Move to a farm. James Inglis

YES: 38 % NO: 62 %

On Point What do chickens, sharks and scantily clad female football players have in common? Abbotsford! This city is quite remarkable in its ability to find itself immersed in the most unusual, and often complex, social debates. During these past few weeks, all three subjects came up on the city hall radar, although one had been there already for some time. You know what that one is. The former Lingerie Football League, now know as Legends Football. It’s football, all right. Political, that is. And on Monday night, it seems council may have finally put this one in the locker. If you haven’t been in outer space or tunnelling to Alberta, you know

that there has been considerable to the morality of cruelly harvesting controversy about this “sport,” which the flesh of fish. features buxom lassies running plays Quite the mental leap, that.

for taking a progressive stand on this. Hopefully, many more cities follow suit until the practice is eradicated. And now, finally, chickens. As one resident recently discovered, you can’t have them here in the “City in the Country,” unless you actually live in the country, not in the city. Yet in Vancouver, which is far more city than country, small flocks of hens are allowed in suburban back yards. I see the other two issues quite clearly. This one baffles me. Can’t be noise... If you live in the country, right next to the city, you’re allowed to blast propane cannons all day long, at the sonic level of a shotgun, to scare birds. Chickens, on the other hand, just cluck. They’re cooped up, so they don’t go pooping on the neighbours’ lawns ... like dogs and cats, which are allowed to do that. Disease? Seems the avian flu crisis several years ago out here focused on commercial farms. So, what’s so heinous about hens? Abbotsford, sometimes you confound me.

Pedestrians lowest form of life

So the APD wants to make road safety a priority. (The News, Jan.29) Really? I have yet to see a police officer haul a cyclist off the sidewalk or pull over a driver when they fly through an occupied crosswalk. It just does not happen. Pedestrians are the lowest form of life in our traffic food chain. These issues don’t make the headlines like drugs and gangs do. As a pedestrian, I have seen the police drive right by clear traffic infractions involving pedestrians. It is just not important to them and I doubt it ever will be. I have written both the city and the police department letters about my safety issues as a pedestrian, and nothing has come of it.

Indeed, I watched with frustration and a bit of amusement as the APD bike patrol rode around Mill Lake Park on a Friday afternoon last June on the sidewalk, right alongside an unused bike lane. Unfortunately, pedestrians have been their own worst enemies, veering off the sidewalk to allow passage for illegal cyclists and waiting for cars at crosswalks, even though by law it is the other way around. Pedestrians acting legally must insist that the law be enforced, and that police insist that drivers and cyclists also act legally. Walking to and from work should not be a life-threatening activity.

Re: Chicken bylaw gets another look I am surprised about the concern expressed over the increase of pests if backyard chickens were allowed. One would think that our newly implemented garbage disposal system would attract more pests than a few backyard birds ever would. So, anyone can have a baby or adopt a cat or dog, but four chickens are out of the question? In regards to the Avian flu: What sort of stringent standards are currently in place for hobby farms that raise small flocks of chickens and neighbour large poultry farms? Are there any at all? Chickens make a few clucks here and there, but dogs and cats certainly make their fair share of noises, too. They also produce fertilizer that can be turned into gardens and is incredibly useful. Chickens are also omnivores, meaning they also eat table scraps of all kinds (except citrus) and provide eggs for the family. And my favourite, they make an excellent pet for kids and teach children about where their food source comes from and are a great way to teach kids about farming. Chickens are lovely little creatures. Give them a chance, Abbotsford. Kari Dueck, Abbotsford

Re: “Is this progress?” Jan. 29 letter on tree-cutting at St. James Catholic church. Of course it’s progress! On the way to the park, you saw trees cut down. Aren’t the trees in the park enough? This is the city, where things get built. This church group has been meeting in an elementary school gym for 20 years or more. Can you fault them for building? For crying out loud, they’re not building a gang clubhouse. I didn’t hear anyone complain when the group across the street built their place of worship and paved the place. I didn’t hear many complaints when the new Walmart went in and all those trees were cut down. Doesn’t the group in question here have a whole mess of trees on the south end of their property? Does that count? If someone builds in the ALR – not good. If people build on Sumas Mountain – good. Keep ‘em out of the farmland, I say, and build in town. B.C., by its coastal nature, has lots of trees everywhere. Does this mean that we can never cut them down? Last time I checked, a major part of our economic base is forestry. That means cutting down trees. I live in a house made of dead trees, and I’m sure that trees were cut down to clear a spot for my house, and I’m OK with that. Since we moved in, we’ve planted 40 trees in our yard. Thanks to Abbotsford for all the great parks in our town.

letters Repitious rhetoric As the wise Mayor Bruce Banman points out, drafting a formal policy to block the use of city facilities for everything that could be considered “offensive” is dangerous. Where does it stop? As (columnist Andrew Holota) states, there are numerous sports, musical acts, artworks or books which might be considered “offensive” by some segments of society. Vetting them all is pointless. As I am sure many others do as well, I agree with you that the business of city council is to concentrate on matters of greater importance. One of those is to attract lucrative enterprises to the city’s sometimes underused and debt-riddled facilities. It’s more important to run the city, not establish an impossible policy or ask city hall to become morality police. The idea is ludicrous. Our citizens will decide what they do or do not support with their attendance. From time to time, in honoured tradition, they might even parade outside with placards. That’s perfectly adequate. That said, The News is very much a potential solution to the problem. All too often “news” depends on creating a short-lived furor over issues. There is nothing that does this better than giving air to polarizing voices. Every paper has those same letter-writers who spew their tired and repetitious rhetoric. My question is this: Why do they get printed? If editors had declined to give “ever present voices on morality” a larger forum, perhaps their unwanted influence would not have created the silliness now an issue at city hall.

Honoured with Queen’s medal

Abbotsford West MLA Michael de Jong nominated Babineau for the award, and it was presented to her by Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon at the annual Agri-food Industry Gala in Abbotsford. “Lindsay has been untiring in her efforts over many years to promote B.C. agriculture and to encourage healthy eating and living habits in children,” de Jong said. Babineau has led the foundation in educating schools across the province through various programs that promote agriculture and healthy eating. The foundation’s largest program, the B.C. School Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program, began in 2005 delivering fruits and vegetables to 10 schools. The program has

now grown to more than 1,400 public and First Nations schools, serving over 500,000 students. “This award is not just for me, but for our staff, partners, growers and volunteers,” Babineau said.

FOR AVAILABLE Abbotsford TICKETS

DanKINVIG ABBOTSFORD NEWS

In analyzing the laser-like focus of Abbotsford Heat goalie Danny Taylor, there are hows and there are whys. The hows, at least some of them, are plain to see. During stoppages in play, Taylor skates out to the hashmarks, drops to one knee, and stares at the puck – located on one of the faceoff dots in preparation for the next draw. It’s a classic goalie quirk on the surface, but it’s got a purpose. “Why I started doing it, I don’t know,” Taylor said of the habit, which he’s developed since joining the Heat in December of 2011. “I see a lot of goalies go to their water bottles, or go to the bench to chat. I’ve done that in the past, and I think it’s a distraction for me. I like to just be out there and do my thing, and try to be in the moment as best as possible. “The periods are pretty long, so it’s nice to give your legs a break. And the puck just happens to be there, so what better thing to look at than the puck?” Taylor’s perpetual staring contest with the puck is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to mental prep. He also does a minimum of 20 minutes of pre-game visualization, and he’s a vo-

racious consumer of video – Heat goalie Jordan Sigalet focuses a camera on the Heat goalie throughout the game, then produces clips of each time the netminder interacts with the puck. Another of Taylor’s tricks is putting himself in the skates of the goalie at the other end of the ice, reading the play from his perspective. “We’re so good defensively, sometimes I won’t see a shot for 10 minutes,” he noted with a chuckle. “So I’ll pretend to be the goalie in the other net. “Sometimes I get so bored back there, it’s the only way to stay in it.” The driving force behind Taylor’s focus – the aforementioned whys – are named Danielle and Hudson. The first six seasons of Taylor’s pro hockey career were defined by instability – he played for multiple teams each season, crisscrossing the continent from California (the ECHL’s Bakersfield Condors) to Texas (ECHL’s Texas Wildcatters) to Massachussetts (AHL’s Machester Monarchs) to Georgia (ECHL’s Gwinnett Gladiators), with a pit stop in Germany (Hamburg

Freezers) in 2010-11. He got engaged to Danielle in the summer of 2011 and married in the summer of 2012, and he points to the engagement as a “tipping point” in his career. “I’ve traveled the world and seen a lot of places,” said Taylor, whose tenure with the Heat represents the first time in his pro career where he’s spent a calendar year with the same team. “Once you start to have a family, that’s when you really strive and work that much harder to have stability in your life. “It’s just that much more incentive to get a home and play that much better. That was the extra motivation I needed.” On New Year’s Day 2013, Danny and Danielle welcomed their first child, son Hudson, into the world. While having a newborn in the house might prove a distraction for some players, it’s had the opposite effect on Taylor – he’s won seven of 10 decisions since the calendar flipped and has seized the No. 1 goalie job. “It’s been the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” he said of fatherhood. “I just to come home and be home, rather than taking my work home with me, which I’ve been guilty of in the past.”

Abbotsford News Thursday, February 7, 2013

Gloria Knows ... Snap Decisions You have only been looking for two weekends, and suddenly you find the house that looks perfect! You want to buy it, but you are reluctant to make an offer without having looked at more houses. Whether you are in a buyer’s or seller’s market, the best homes usually get snapped up quickly. Once you encounter a wonderful, well-priced home, you may have little time to think it over, and it is difficult to make such an enormous purchasing decision without at least sleeping on it. If you hesitate, you

could lose the house to another buyer; however, if you go rushing forward, you will probably spend at least some time nursing a case of “Buyer’s Remorse”. A professional Realtor can make your decision easier by making sure you are as informed as possible. They can provide information about recent sales of other homes in the area and can answer any other questions you may have. You may also ask for a structural contingency which will give you a chance to have an expert go over the major systems before the contract is finalized.

New fans for the New Year

words

from the

prez Ryan walteR

Over halfway through our fourth AHL season, your Abbotsford Heat are gathering some solid momentum on and off the ice. After some tough games around the Christmas break, the team has returned to its earlier winning ways, and the stretch run should prove to be very exciting. Off the ice, our ticket sales have increased. On that note, I would like to share an exciting email I received this week: From a NEW Abbotsford Heat FAN! I wanted to take the time to email you about my recent experience with you and your organization. I am a 44-year-old male, born and raised in the Lower Mainland. I was born a Canucks fan and will die a Canucks fan. So when I heard that Calgary was putting their farm team in Abbotsford, I thought, “Why on earth would they do that so close to Canuckville? It makes no sense, but I will attend the odd Moose/Wolves game.” To be honest, I didn’t go to one game. Then the NHL was locked out. A very good customer of mine, and Canucks season ticket holder, was talking about seeing the Heat play the Wolves (back in October) and asked if I wanted to go. The next day I showed up at the job site and he handed me two tickets. It was a Saturday and I was tired and reluctant to drive all the way out there from North Delta. Still, I invited my brother-in-law and off we went. It was a 30 minute drive, not much longer than going to see the Canucks at Rogers Arena. The big surprise was the free parking which was just two blocks away, and parking across the street was only five bucks!!! Are you kidding me? Score!

stick & skate

Now, I had no idea what the rink was like – new, old, no idea. I walked in and found the crowd to be friendly and the facility clean and not too overcrowded. I walked out of the tunnel to my seats and couldn’t believe my eyes: full screen, scoreboard, and the seats were great with lots of leg room (I’m 6’4”, 270lbs so that’s important to me). My first AHL game was unbelievable: Fast and hard-hitting. The music, scoreboard and crowd were perfect. My team won (sorry, 4-1 Wolves). I left and was right on to the highway and home in half an hour. My brother-in-law and I talked about it on the way home, and the only thing I couldn’t get out of my mind was how stupid I had been up to that point. The AHL has been here for years and I didn’t make it out until that day. I have wasted thousands of dollars on an NHL team who could care less about me or any other fans and over-charge at every opportunity. Now I was hooked on the AHL and I was going to go to more games for sure. And I was going to send the Heat an email telling them how impressed I was with my whole experience. As luck would have it I ended up back in Abbotsford that following Monday on business. So, I stopped at the local gas station for some cheap gas. I noticed the guy on the other side pumping gas was wearing a Heat jacket. I wondered to myself if he worked for the Heat and whether I should tell him about my experience. Then I noticed a Heat lapel pin on his jacket, so now I was sure he worked for the Heat and as soon as I finished pumping I was going to go say thanks. As it turned out, he finished first and jumped in his car.

Even though I missed that opportunity I was still determined to send that email. Then the door of his car opened and this head appeared around the pump. “Hi! I see you’re a hockey fan. Have you ever been to a Heat game?” “Funny you should ask,” I replied. “I’m Brian Neufeld and I have an autographed picture of Cliff Ronning and Geoff Courtnall for you.” We then spent the next 20 minutes talking hockey. I knew after that conversation that I was going to buy the 21 gamepack he told me about. When I got back to my office I called and made my purchase. The fact that I can call or email him with the games I want to see and he takes care of it is unbelievable. I’m so busy most of the time, so the way he goes out of his way really helps me out. The next game I went to see was against the Barons. I picked up eight tickets during the week from Brian and took my family and some friends of ours. We sat in the front row behind the net. The four kids and even my wife were impressed with the seats. My wife isn’t a hockey fan and it was cool to see her get into it. We went out for dinner before the game, parked and watched the game and it cost less than $250 for the eight of us. That is less than one ticket to one Canucks game for one of us. Thank you from, A NEW HEAT FAN Our positive momentum is picking up speed! Call our sales team to book your GROUP discount and see you at our next games: Feb. 9-10 vs. the Lake Erie Monsters at 7 p.m.

DanKINVIG ABBOTSFORD NEWS

In his second pro season, Abbotsford native Derek Grant has grown into the AHL’s most lethal penalty killer. The Binghamton Senators centre is the runaway league leader in shorthanded goals with five – only two other players have as many as three. He’s generated most of the highlights for an absurdly potent Binghamton PK – their 11 shorties are tops in the league, and they manage to produce that offence without sacrificing defence. They snuff opposing teams’ power plays at an 87.6 per cent clip, good for second overall, trailing only the Abbotsford Heat (89.6). “I think it’s just the style that we use,” Grant analyzed. “Obviously other teams, on the power play, are looking to score goals themselves, and they often have forwards back on the point. Every time we get a chance, we try to take advantage of that.” After leading the NCAA’s Michigan State Spartans in scoring as a sophomore, Grant turned pro in the Ottawa Senators’ organization, which had picked him in the fourth round

line, with a primary focus on shutting down other teams’ top offensive forwards. The 22-year-old had been relied upon for scoring in his junior and college days, but he’s made a seamless switch to the more defensive-minded role, while managing to post 13 goals and six assists to go with a plus-five rating in 43 games. “I was always that go-to offensive guy in juniors and college, but I actually enjoy this,” he said. “You’re out there against other teams’ top lines in all the important situations, and it’s something I take pride in.” Grant spent his 16-year-old Unbeatable prices on top name brands like Michelin, BF Goodrich, Toyo and mo season with the Abbotsford Pilots, and he believes his time with the local junior B club helped form a solid foundation for his hockey future.

Bylaws banning the selling, trading and distributing of shark fins in Abbotsford were passed at city council on Monday. The issue arises from “finning,” the practice of cutting off a shark’s fin and releasing the live creature back into the ocean where it dies. Shark fins are most commonly used as an ingredient in Chinese cuisine. The practice of shark finning is illegal in Canada, but the importation of the fins from other countries is allowed. A city bylaw enforcement report had been received by council, outlining the selling of shark fins as a “noxious and offensive business.” The new laws amend the business license bylaw to ban their sale in Abbotsford. Coun. Patricia Ross previously told council that obtaining shark fins is an “inhumane practice,” and the city must take measures to stop the distribution of shark fin products in the city. Coun. Henry Braun was opposed to the bylaw and concerned that it is not within the city’s powers to enforce. He pointed out the City of Toronto’s bylaw banning sharkfin products was struck down by the Ontario Supreme Court. “It’s a waste of time for council.” Ross said the difference is that Toronto’s bylaw banned the consumption of shark fins, which is a considered a violation of individual rights. She said Abbortford’s bylaw restricts the selling and distribution of shark fins within city limits. Ross said she does not wish to name the businesses, but she knows of about four restaurants in Abbotsford that serve shark-fin soup. “Sharks cannot speaks for themselves,” said Ross. “We have to step in.”

With a crowd of energetic school kids cheering them on, the Abbotsford Heat’s top-ranked defence did a commendable job of slowing the AHL’s highest-scoring team on Tuesday morning. The Rochester Americans came in leading the league in goals per game at 3.52, while the Heat were surrendering a stingy 2.11. But it was Abbotsford’s smothering defensive system which won the day – they limited Rochester to 19 shots on goal and killed off all eight Amerks power plays en route to a 3-2 victory. “Usually the team that kind of wakes up first and gets going wins the game,” Heat goalie Danny Taylor said, reflecting on the early 10:30 a.m. start. “The biggest thing was our penalty kill. I thought it was outstanding today. They (the Amerks) didn’t get a lot of looks, and the ones that they did shoot, I could see. We just blocked so many pucks and had sticks in the lanes.” It all played out in front of a crowd of 6,172 at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, the vast majority of them middle school students bused to the rink for the Heat’s second annual school day game.

The Ag Rec Building was the hub of the B.C. high school wrestling scene last Saturday, as wrestlers from across the province attended the Miri Piri Wrestling Club’s seventh annual meet. The event drew 300 high school grapplers and 80 elementary schoolers, including several athletes who made the trip from Alberta. “The tournament is growing every year,” said Sucha Mann, head coach of the Miri Piri club and the Rick Hansen Secondary boys team. “We had six mats running full time, and every single mat had close to 100 matches.” Highlights for Mann’s club included gold medals from Hansen teammates

picking up speed

BY DR. ANDREA PECHEY

Awareness about the importance of dental health in dogs and cats has grown quite substantially over the last few years. However, many pet owners are still hesitant to start the seemingly overwhelming task of introducing tooth brushing! Here are some steps that may make this task a little less daunting: • Start by beginning each tooth brushing exercise with the pet toothpaste being offered as a treat; put a small dab on your finger tip and let them lick it off. Pet toothpaste is safe for your pet to eat and comes in yummy flavors like beef, malt and poultry (mmmm….) • Begin introducing tooth brushing by putting a small dab of toothpaste on your finger and rubbing it along their front teeth and front gumline. At the beginning, your goal is just to introduce the concept of something being in their mouth,

not to brush the teeth. Once your pet is comfortable with the front teeth and gums you can start working your way to the back teeth and gums. • The next goal is to introduce more abrasive action to the tooth brushing routine. Start by using an old face cloth with pet tooth paste on it. Once they are comfortable with that, you can then work up to using an actual tooth brush! • End each session with a reward. There are many different pet tooth brushes available and finding one you and your pet are most comfortable with can involve some trial and error. Also keep in mind that the steps listed above will likely involve multiple sessions. Remember, work up to the next step slowly and be patient – your kid didn’t learn to brush their teeth overnight, neither will your pet!

UFV women’s hoopsters move up to No. 3 The University of the Fraser Valley basketball teams headed in opposite directions in the latest edition of the CIS national rankings released Tuesday. The Cascades women, coming off a weekend sweep of the UBC-Okanagan Heat, moved up one spot to No. 3 in the top-10 poll. They leapfrogged the Regina Cougars, who split pair of games with the Calgary Dinos. The Dinos moved up one spot to No. 7, and all three teams boast matching 15-3 records to sit tied atop the Canada West conference. In the aftermath of a weekend split against last-place UBC-O, the Cascades men (10-8) slid out of the top 10 after sitting at No. 9 last week. They still garnered votes in the poll, leaving them tied with Bishop’s for 12th overall. The UFV basketball teams host a pair of home games vs. the Thompson Rivers WolfPack on Friday (women 6 p.m., men 8 p.m.) and Saturday (women 5 p.m., men 7 p.m.). The women’s games are particularly interesting, as TRU (14-5) is within striking distance of the Cascades for first place in the Pacific Division. The full national rankings are as follows. WOMEN’S BASKETBALL (regular season record) / votes (firstplace votes) / (previous rankings) 1. Windsor (17-0) / 515 points (42) / (1) 2. Saint Mary’s (150) / 474 (1) / (2) 3.

Olympians make splash in Vancouver James Lee led the way for the Abbotsford Olympians swim club in a meet at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre earlier this month. Lee broke eight club records, won a bronze medal in the 50-metre butterfly, and posted his first AAA qualifying time – 10:09.02 in the 100m fly. The AAA standard is what swimmers must meet

to compete against the best swimmers in the province. Also attaining new standards were Katie Charest and Tobyn Smith. Charest qualified her first AA standard in the 50m freestyle, while Smith notched a second AA time in the 200m backstroke, also breaking a club record and earning the bronze medal.

McKenna Postles, Peyton Smith and Alex Smith all added ‘A’ times to their list of accomplishments, while Charest, McKenna Postles and Hannah Weinkauf were all club record breakers. The Olympians finished ninth out of 15 teams, while posting 92 per cent best times and breaking 29 club records.

HILDEBRANDT Peter Born May 25th, 1919 passed peacefully into the arms of his Lord on Sunday February 3rd at Menno Home. Peter was born to Peter and Anna Hildebrandt in Neuendorf, Russia and is pre-deceased by his sisters, Rose and Kay and his wife of 46 years, Mary. After his father’s death in the 1918 flu epidemic the family eventually moved to Canada in 1923 and took up residence in Winkler, Manitoba. From there they moved to Herbert, Saskatchewan and later to Moose Jaw where Peter graduated from The Oxford Collegiate with the highest standing in English and History in 1937. A further move to Winnipeg followed high school and Peter spent a year at Bethel (Bible) College in Kansas. He later enrolled in the Angus School of Commerce in Winnipeg. After the war broke out he moved to Ottawa leaving his mother and sisters behind in Winnipeg and got a job with the civil service. In order to better support his family in Winnipeg Peter joined the RCAF in 1942 where he served as a radar mechanic in Canada and Britain. He was discharged in 1945. After learning of his mother’s dream to live and work in British Columbia, the family moved to Abbotsford in 1946 driving in Peter’s 1937 Chevy that he had bought from a friend in Ontario. The family eked out a living on a 5 acre parcel of land in West Abbotsford and attended the West Abbotsford Mennonite Church (now Level Ground Mennonite Church). It was here that Peter came to faith in Jesus Christ and was baptized upon profession of his faith in 1948. Peter would like people to remember him as “a sinner saved by grace.” While studying to become an industrial arts teacher at Vancouver Vocational Institute, Peter met Mary Ratzlaff whom he knew from grade 2 in Herbert, Sask. After a seven year courtship he finally proposed to Mary and they were married in 1960 - “the best decision I ever made!” After getting married they lived closer to the centre of town and transferred their church membership to Seven Oaks Alliance Church. They enjoyed the fellowship there and made many close friends. Peter worked for the Abbotsford School District for 23 years while Mary worked at MSA Hospital and at Mission Hospital. They retired in 1974 and had many good years of travel together and extending hospitality to friends and new acquaintances. They often visited with residents at Menno Home. Peter believed that we are only temporary owners of all that God has given and became known for his generous support for many organizations. His “office” was the Tim Horton’s on Sumas Way where the staff knew how to prepare “Peter’s coffee”. One of his mottos in life was “use it or lose it!” and until his death he tried to walk every day. Almost total blindness in later years meant that someone had to lend an elbow. Always the teacher, Peter used these opportunities to recite some memorized poetry, Shakespeare, or Low German phrases or just reflect on the state of world affairs. Many friends and extended family members who rejoice that the Good Shepherd has reunited him and his beloved Mary at the table prepared for all the saints in heaven will sadly miss Peter. There will be a viewing at the Wiebe & Jeske Funeral Home, 202-31314 Peardonville Road, Abbotsford on Tuesday February 12th at 9:00 am followed by a graveside service at 10:30 am at Musselwhite Cemetery and a service of remembrance at Seven Oaks Alliance Church at 12 noon. The family wishes to express their thanks to the staff at Menno Home for their care for Peter over the past four months. In lieu of flowers memorial donations can be made to MCC. Online condolences to the family may be made to:
