Second pedestrian fatality Senior citizen succumbs to injuries after being struck by a car
Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
A pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle last Thursday at McKenzie and King roads died from her injuries two days later. Const. Ian MacDonald said the 86-yearold woman appeared to have sustained non-life-threatening injuries after the collision. The woman suffered a broken hip, knee and shoulder, but was conscious and communicative at the hospital, MacDonald said. Her condition worsened and she passed away in hospital Saturday morning. The collision took place at about 10 a.m. Thursday. MacDonald said the victim was
in a marked crosswalk at the time, walking south along McKenzie, crossing King Road. The woman was hit by a northbound Nissan Pathfinder, driven by a 52-year-old woman making a left-turn at the four-way stop. Police have seized the Nissan for investigation, and the driver could face charges. Police are asking for any witnesses to call them at 604-859-5225. A similar collision occurred the following night at about 7:30, when a 72-yearold man was in a crosswalk proceeding east across Gladwin Road, near the Real Canadian Superstore. He was struck by a Ford F-150 pickup truck, driven by a
54-year-old woman, making a left turn off Simon Avenue. MacDonald said the pedestrian was conscious and talking at the scene, He was taken to hospital with abrasions to his head. His condition was not known at press deadline. The death of the 86-year-old woman marks the second pedestrian fatality this year. Shaminder Brar, 34, was found dead at the side of Riverside Road (between King and Vye roads) on the morning of Feb. 18. The driver has not come forward. Abbotsford Police have made road safety their top priority for 2013, following a year that saw nine pedestrian fatalities.

Turning up the heat on incinerator Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
Provincial politicians have been turning up the criticism of Metro Vancouver over the proposed waste-to-energy facility. Last week, the debate took centre stage during question period at the legislature. Abbotsford-South MLA John van Dongen grilled Environment Minister Terry Lake. He said that in July 2011 the minister made a controversial decision when he approved Metro’s solid waste management plan that opened the door for a large garbage-burning in-

The cause of the fire was not known as of press deadline. Fire crews were called to 33733 King Rd. just before 2:30 a.m. On arrival, they found heavy smoke and flames coming from one of the units. Firefighters quickly attacked the flames and brought them under control. The fire was contained to one unit, which held art supplies, with smoke and water damage to the two units on either side. According to witnesses, what appeared to be an incendiary device was found at the scene. Nine fire vehicles and 34 firefighters were dispatched to the scene. Total damage is estimated at $30,000.

‘Not going back to square one’ From A3
But van Dongen was not satisfied, pointing out that “Metro Vancouver recently denied an FVRD seat on a third-party expert review panel that is supposed to discuss scientific and technical issues,” adding that last month the chair of the Metro Vancouver waste committee, Malcolm Brodie, summed up the issue by saying, “Whether people like it or not, the (incinerator proposal) decision has been made.” Brodie, who is also the mayor of Richmond, told The News that quote is “incomplete” and needs context. “We have to realize that when we have a consultation, the plan calls for wasteto-energy. That is a decision that has been made. Now every time we say waste-toenergy, Fraser Valley Regional District says incinerator,” said Brodie. He said Metro is in the pro-
cess of determining what possible technologies might be used. But they are using waste-to-energy as opposed to landfill. “When we go to consult we’re not going to go back to square one and say what do we do? The question is what form of waste-to-energy will be used and where will it be sited. That’s what is to be determined,” said Brodie. Metro aims to have a new waste-to-energy plant built by 2018. Potential sites both within and outside the region are to be proposed this summer and made public by fall. Brodie said full consultation will occur between Metro and the FVRD as well as other interested parties, including First Nations. Metro and FVRD staff groups have already been meeting for “well over a year” said Brodie, adding there have been about 10 meetings to this
point. He said he has heard the FVRD request for political group meetings as well and is willing to discuss the timing of such meetings. Van Dongen has also questioned the recent nomination of Marvin Hunt as the BC Liberal Candidate for SurreyPanorama. In a media interview with a Black Press newspaper, Hunt identified himself as a proponent of building a waste-toenergy incinerator in North Surrey. “It is unbelievable to me that the premier is supporting the nomination of a BC Liberal candidate who is encouraging the building of an incinerator in the Lower Mainland,” said van Dongen. “Why would they nominate a candidate who is an advocate for a waste-to-energy incinerator which would directly impact our airshed and which is so strongly opposed by the citizens of the Fraser Valley?”

Hoping to deal with dragons
Abbotsford entreprenuer Alex Kotai and his assistant Ann Holdsworth present a skit before promoting their online exercise program Cardio Blast to producers of the television show Dragons’ Den. Local auditions were held on Friday at the Best Western on Marshall Road.
Auditions held for hit entrepreneurial show
Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
They came from across B.C. with boxes, chairs, paints, pets, drawing boards and anything else that would help sell their ideas. By noon, 45 people had signed up, with more coming in as the minutes passed. All this effort, just for the opportunity to, maybe, face the dragons. B.C. entrepreneurs came out in full force as producers of the hit CBC television show Dragons’ Den were in Abbotsford Friday, holding auditions for season eight of the popular series. Auditions have been taking place across the country since Jan. 19 and wrapped up Saturday in Vancouver and Toronto. The audition tour included more than 40 stops. The Abbotsford audition, held Friday at the Best Western Plus Regency Inn and Conference Centre, featured a wide variety of concepts, from pet products to home maintenance, fresh foods to workouts. Selected candidates will be invited to face the “Dragons” – a panel of business tycoons – in Toronto later this year to seek investment in their product or business. Abbotsford’s Alex Kotai made the most of his time, presenting his online fitness workout called Cardio Blast. He told the producers that he’s invested $114,000 of his own money into the concept. “I’m seeking $1 for five per cent (of the company),” he said, explaining that he doesn’t want money, rather someone with the expertise to help promote the company. Like all of the hopefuls, Kotai will have to wait two or three weeks to find out if he will be on the show. Other ideas pitched on Friday included several pet products, like all-natural treats and doggie perfumes, as well as a sturdy plastic canister designed for holding used paint rollers and keeping them fresh, a chair to help moms give birth in a sitting
position, and a fish slide that would allow fishermen to get their catch on board easier. “Every year I think there’s no way there can be more stuff. We’ve combed the country seven times now, but every year more and more people come out,” said producer Molly Duignan. “Everyone’s got a dream, but sometimes you come to an audition like this and it could be the first time that you’ve heard that it’s not an amazing idea. That’s the hard part.” Abbotsford residents have built a track record for appearing on the show. Last year, local auditioners who were approved for filming included Reg Wall and his WienerStick barbecue accessory; Gary Baars of TNT Agri-Services, which sells and delivers hay; Paul Martens with his odourless toilet called Ventex; Robert Stone of Mrtaxes.ca; and Daniel Litchy of D-light Solution. Joel Primus, president and CEO of the underwear company Naked Inc., has appeared several times on the show. The last time he appeared, it was Primus who turned the Dragons down. Naked underwear has now expanded into the U.S. market, and its accounts include Holt Renfrew, Boys’ Co, Got Style and Kitson in L.A. Abbotsford’s Neil

When will it stop?
Last Wednesday was Pink Shirt Day, or Anti-Bullying Day, as many people call it. It began six years ago at a high school in Nova Scotia. Most schools in this community and others across the nation held rallies, or drew posters, or hosted speakers. The Abbotsford Youth Comission did all three during its event. Even in the earliest elementary school grades, young students were learning about, and talking about, the issue of bullying. In countless offices and workplaces, people were wearing pink shirts, or at least something pink. Governments of all levels issued supportive messages. Social media was blanketed with the topic. There is no doubt that bullying is a high-profile issue, and such behaviour is roundly and soundly condemned by the vast majority of people.
Yet, last week, we told readers about Cameron and his mom Shannon, who had the immense courage to tell their tale. Cameron has been the victim of bullying for some time. A month ago, his tormentors pushed the Grade 9 student into oncoming traffic, and he was nearly struck by a car. The bullies were suspended from school for a week. He and his mother would like to find that driver to thank him, and possibly, criminal charges can be laid. Hopefully, for Cameron, this is the end of it. Yet his situation does pose this critical question: If bullying is such an important issue in this society, and public awareness is so high, and so many people are so opposed to bullying behaviour, why are there still victims? As Cameron’s mom asks: “Where does it end and when will it stop?
Aging hasn’t diminished the elegance Mark
Rushton On the
Other Hand Finally, following six years of procrastination, the basement “room” was debuted to an admiring gathering. The completion, spurred by a demand that we were having a par-TAY the first weekend in March, was, like the new Port Mann Bridge, achieved on time. But after destroying my knees laying tile, and accelerating I’m sure the advancement of COPD due to inhalation of tile glue and grout dust, I was a somewhat disturbed to discover that the big event would last but two hours. Two hours!?!?! Considering all the work and expense, had I known the soiree was of such short duration I’d have much preferred renting a room at the Ramada. However, at least I have a sparkly
new room in which to store more junk, when it’s not being used to host birthday parties for two-yearolds. And since small children and large dogs not accustomed to same don’t mix well, mine were relegated to the garage for the afternoon of the party. My young dog is somewhat adaptable, but the old girl ... well, that was a different matter. Checking out how they were surviving after an hour, she was nowhere in sight, then I discovered her jammed into a corner amongst the stuff originally removed from the basement party room, unable to move or extricate herself, patiently waiting for assistance. Closing on 15 years of age, the equivalent in dog years of a 100-yearold dowager queen, she is elegant but forgetful. I don’t know if dogs get Alzheimer’s, but she certainly seems to be reflecting something similar. Never once in her first 14 years of life did she ever have a “mistake” in the house. However, now, unless I am vigilant, the mental confusion does have its occasional effect.
So it is that every night around 9 p.m. she either begins to pace, or I wake her, to ensure it is the lawn and not the hardwood that is the recipient of her pre-bedtime discharges. And while on those nightly walks,
Every now and then she walks up to touch my leg with her nose, the sensory organ still retaining its keen function... rain or moonlight, chill or mild, she never strays far. And every now and then she walks up to touch my leg with her nose, the only sensory organ still retaining its keen function, her cataract-coated eyes providing little more illumination than shadows and movement. Her hearing is also something of the past, but she can still, on a sunny day, discern mountain bik-
ers riding up the road, and with a hoarse bark makes a valiant effort to run along the fence chasing them. That the bikers, pedaling up the hill, are probably long gone before she gets there is of little mind. It is one of the luxuries still remaining to put a bounce in her doddering stride. That and the very occasional romp that she seems to enjoy, or perhaps endure, with the young dog. While she may be literally on her last legs, she is not in pain, and each morning waits at the bottom of the stairs for me to give her a pat on the head and breakfast. And every day, when I return home to find her curled on her bed, I first stare to ensure her chest still rises and falls. Until the fateful day when that is no longer the case, or perhaps when the message centre in her aging brain no longer is capable of sending signals to her legs and intervention is required, dear sweet Maggie May will continue to fill a loved place in our hearts.

‘Foolishness’ of legal pot grows Re: Andrew Holota’s On Point column (“A step beyond tightening medical pot grows.”) It must be painfully obvious to all Canadians that the so-called “medical marijuana” growops have now come to the stage of plain foolishness. As Holota points out, the number of people federally authorized to grow medical marijuana has expanded from the initial 500 people to a whopping 26,000 individuals who cannot seem to receive adequate help from our health care system. So much for the much-vaunted man-
tra as used for providing abortions – being “safe, legal and rare.” Well, we know where that led – some figure close to four million Canadian lives snuffed out at or before birth. How many other lives now will be ruined by this same catering to self-indulgent individuals, not to mention innocent bystanders caught in gang crossfire over control of these legal and dangerous grow-ops, or incinerated in fires resulting from wrong wiring?

Bad intersection Re: The accident at Maclure and Crossley. This is a very bad intersection. I use it daily. I was almost hit there as well. I see people crossing the road to get to the park where there is no crosswalk. When driving west and turning right onto Crossley from Maclure, there is no right lane turn-off. The cars are driving so fast on Maclure that you have to turn quickly. When forced to turn quickly there is a risk of hitting pedestrians. The pedestrians often are crossing Crossley where you can’t see them and run the risk of getting hit. This is a great risk for more accidents and people getting hit. There needs to be a light at that intersection with crosswalks and a right-turn lane onto Crossley. Especially now that the new Walmart is opened at Mt. Lehman, there will be more traffic on the road. Sharon Loewen, Abbotsford

Land commission investigating use of crushed asphalt Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News
The Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) will be investigating a public complaint about crushed asphalt being deposited on a local farm. The complaint was filed last month by Abbotsford resident Anne Graham, who said she is concerned the material will leach phenols and heavy metals into the soil. “Whoever owns that property has dumped a lot of fill on that corner with asphalt ... And that is a farm, over top of ground water,” she told the News. The property in question is located in the area of Clearbrook and Huntingdon roads. Ron MacLeod, a compliance and enforcement officer for the ALC, said he couldn’t comment specifically until after he completes an investigation. When he spoke to The News, he had not yet visited the property. However, he did say that the ALC does not “condone asphalt or concrete deposition within the Agricultural Land Reserve,” and the only time that it would even be considered is if it is for topping for a farm road. “We would never allow asphalt as a fill material, because it can break down chemically.” MacLeod said he first has to establish if the owner is actually farming the property and if the material is intended for a farm road. “If it is a bona fide farmer building a bona fide farm road, it is an authorized use so they would not be required to contact us.” If asphalt is not being used properly, property owners can remove the material voluntarily, a fine of up to $100,000 could be imposed, or an injunction could be issued to force the removal of the asphalt. The property owner in question declined an opportunity to speak to the News. Jim Gordon, Abbotsford’s general manager of engineering and regional utilities, said the city is aware of the farm and that the landowner plans to use the crushed asphalt to create a driveway. He said the city has not yet issued a permit for the work.

The Agricultural Land Commission is investigating a complaint about crushed asphalt on a local farm.
Graham is also concerned that the City of Abbotsford has used crushed asphalt to create a pathway along manmade Walmsley Lake located in Albert Dyck Park. But Mark Taylor, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture, said there has been “no leakage of any contaminants into the lake.” Regular testing of the water is performed year-round, he said. Because Albert Dyck Park is not in the ALR, MacLeod will not be looking into that complaint.

Police budget gets reserve boost
A15
Accounting change requires $377,000 transfer Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
The addition into the budget of paidout holiday and sick time accrued at the time of retirement has resulted in the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) having to move funds from capital and operating reserves to cover the gap. Const. Ian MacDonald said the accounting change resulted in a $377,000 deficit in this year’s budget, which is being covered by moving $200,000 from the operating reserve and $177,000 from the capital reserve. MacDonald said the funds cover officers’ banked vacation and sick time in their last year of work. Although these costs have always been on the books, the money now has to be allocated at
the beginning of the year instead of in the following year’s budget after the money has been paid out.
The change was not known until after the 2013 budget had already been finalized. MacDonald said it
is not anticipated that moving the funds from the operating and capital reserves will have an impact.

Road safety, domestic violence top cop concerns Abbotsford Police release strategic plan
Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Road safety, domestic violence, gangs and property crime are the top four is-
sues of importance to the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) this year. The department has released its 2013
strategic plan, which lays out the crucial areas of concern and sets goals for improvement. Chief Bob Rich
said the top priority continues to be road safety, following a year that saw nine traffic-related fatalities and 480 crashes resulting in injury. Rich said the department undertook a number of measures last year, including increased enforcement, to try to reduce those numbers. “Still, we have not cracked the nut. One of the things that we have said to ourselves is, ‘That’s not good enough.’ ” Deputy Chief Rick Lucy said police are taking a more in-depth approach this year to looking at why Abbotsford is having so many problems with road

safety. “There is nothing else … that results in more physical harm and death in Abbotsford,” he said. The goal is a 10 per cent reduction in injury crashes. Initiatives include partnering with the city to improve road safety, targeting pro-
lific bad drivers and continuing a public education campaign throughout the year. Domestic violence is second on the list of priorities in the strategic plan, with the APD setting a goal this year to increase reporting rates by 25 per cent and boost the number of suc-
cessful prosecutions of offenders by 10 per cent. Plans are also underway to expand the APD’s domestic violence unit, which works closely with victims, including supporting them through the court process. Other goals in the strategic plan include: q no gang/drug homicides; q targeting gangcontrolled grow-ops; q a 10 per cent reduction in property crimes; q 58 fewer passenger vehicles stolen; and q a 10 per cent reduction each in robberies and residential break-ins.

Paul Franklin lost both his legs serving in Afghanistan, but as he told an Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Wednesday, it was the best thing that ever happened to him. “What was the other option? Death.
So this has to be the best thing that ever happened – there is no other option.” Franklin acknowledges he would never want to go through the difficult rehabilitation, but he is happy to be alive. Now, he travels and tells his story to raise public awareness and support for
other amputees and veterans. He is the co-founder of the Heroes Hockey Challenge, which raises funds for veterans by hosting hockey games between soldiers and former NHL players. The next Heroes Hockey Challenge will be held in Abbotsford.
Franklin said he lives to support his 13-year-old son, Simon. “In a long enough timeline, we’re all dead – it’s how you live in that timeline that you’re given.” The retired master corporal joined the Canadian military as a medic at 30 years

Year in and year out, the boys wrestling team at W.J. Mouat Secondary has been among B.C.'s upper echelon. But until Saturday, a provincial title had eluded them. The Hawks broke through at the B.C. high school wrestling championships in Duncan, racking up 61 points to finish well ahead of runner-up Lord Tweedsmuir of Surrey (49 points) in the aggregate standings. In the aftermath, longtime Mouat coach Jim Mitchell termed the o u t come " a bit of a surprise." The Hawks had won the Upper Fraser Valley title, but going into the provincial meet, he wasn't sure his team had the depth to get the job done. But Mouat got points from six of their 14 male wrestlers at the B.C.'s. "We've been top 10 (on the boys side) for the last 10 years," noted Mitchell, whose girls team won a provincial title in 2010. "I knew we'd be better this year, but I wasn't sure we'd have enough points to make it happen. "It feels great." Amrit Benning and Nishan Randhawa led the way for the Hawks, winning individual gold medals. Benning, a Grade 11 grappler, avenged a defeat to Burnaby South’s Melvin Arciaga in the 2012 finals, beating him in two Continued on A29

March madness heats up as provincials approach Yale boys beat Mouat for Valley bronze, senior girls AAA and boys Single A tourneys tip off locally
Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
Yale Lions senior boys basketball coach Al Friesen saw the worst and the best of his team within a span of 24 hours at the Fraser Valley AAA tournament last week. On Friday evening, the No. 2-ranked Lions’ focus level was up and down like a yo-yo as they fell 86-68 to the No. 1 Walnut Grove Gators in the Valley semifinals. Grove star Jadon Cohee shot the lights out to the tune of 39 points, and when the Gators did miss, they often gobbled up the offensive rebound, leading to a bushel of second-chance points. But on Saturday, facing the W.J. Mouat Hawks with the Valley bronze medal on the line, the Lions put together a tough-minded performance en route to a decisive 77-48 triumph over their crosstown rivals. “We’re still young – we have a Grade 10 and two 11’s (in the starting lineup) – and we still have mental letdowns,” Friesen said. “When we fall asleep or feel sorry for ourselves, we let runs occur.
“Against Mouat, runs occurred, but they were short. We competed a whole lot harder on the glass, consistently from start to finish. They didn’t have many second opportunities, and it was tough for them to score.” Jassi Gill led the Lions with 27 points vs. the Hawks, while JJ Pankratz scored 19 and Jauquin Bennett-Boire had 16. Bennett-Boire was named a Fraser Valley first team all-star, while Pankratz and Gill were second-teamers along with Mouat point guard Corey Hauck. Yale and Mouat both move on to the AAA provincial championship, which runs next week (March 12-16) at the Langley Events Centre (LEC). Both Abbotsford teams open on Wednesday – the Hawks take on the Handsworth Royals of North Vancouver at 10 a.m., followed by Yale vs. the winner of Tuesday’s play-in game between Burnaby Mountain and Caledonia at 11:30 a.m. A third local team, the Abbotsford Senior Panthers, very nearly qualified for provincials,

AAA scene, the Mouat Hawks and MEI Eagles are in action this week as the provincial tourney tips off at the LEC. The Hawks had locked
up their spot at provincials by virtue of their fourth-place finish at the Fraser Valleys, while the Eagles – the Valley’s sixth-place fin-
isher – earned a berth with a 62-47 win over the Kitsilano Blue Demons in a zone crossover game last Wednesday. The Yale Lions also had a shot at a B.C.’s berth via the crossover, but they fell 69-59 to the Burnaby South Rebels. Mouat opens its provincial tourney run vs. the Kelowna Owls at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, while MEI takes on Handsworth at 7 p.m. n The Abbotsford Christian Knights senior girls are in Kamloops this week for the AA provincial championships. The Knights, who finished third in the Fraser Valley, open against Wellington of Nanaimo at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday. n The St. John Brebeuf Bears have the opportunity to chase a provincial title in Abbotsford this week. The Bears are the No. 8 seed heading into Single A senior boys provincials, which run Wednesday through Saturday at the University of the Fraser Valley. Brebeuf opens at 12 p.m. Wednesday vs. St. Ann’s.

Pilots, Kodiaks open semifinal series tonight Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
After sweeping the Mission City Outlaws in the first round of the playoffs, the Abbotsford Pilots are steeling themselves for a stiffer test in the second. The Pilots, the topseeded team in the Pacific Junior Hockey League’s Harold Brittain Conference, take on the secondseeded Aldergrove Kodiaks in a semifinal series which begins tonight (Tuesday, 7 p.m., MSA Arena). Abbotsford out-distanced Aldergrove by nine points during the regular season, but Pilots coach Jim Cowden believes the final standings are somewhat deceiving. Both teams posted identical 18-4 records in the second half of the campaign.
“They had a slower start, that’s the only difference,” Cowden pointed out. “It’ll be a tough match-up. They’re a very good team – they skate very well, and they have a good back end, good goaltending and great forwards.
“This is going to be a battle, every game is going to be tough. It should be a long series.” The Pilots were off last week as they waited for the Kodiaks to finish off the Ridge Meadows Flames in their firstround series, which they did in five games. In the meantime,
the PJHL announced its regular season award winners, and Abby goalie Aaron Oakley was named the league MVP. He backstopped the stingiest defensive team in the league, pacing the PJHL with 23 wins and posting a 2.01 goals against average. In an unusual twist, Oakley did not win the top goalie award – it went to Alexander Ahnert of the Delta Ice Hawks, much to Cowden’s chagrin. Ahnert led the league in goals against average at 1.80, but Cowden pointed out that he only played 17 games to Oakley’s 33. “I can’t understand it,” the Pilots bench boss groused. The Pilots-Kodiaks series schedule is as follows: • Game 1 – Tuesday,
March 5, 7 p.m., MSA Arena • Game 2 – Wednesday, March 6, 7:15 p.m., Aldergrove Community Arena
• Game 3 – Friday, March 8, 7:30 p.m., MSA Arena • Game 4 – Date and time TBA, Aldergrove Community Arena

Heat snap losing streak, split vs. Houston Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
Special teams told the tale for the Abbotsford Heat in their weekend set vs. the Houston Aeros. On Friday, two power-play goals early in the third period from Ben Walter helped the Heat rally for a 4-2 victory at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. The hosts had trailed 2-1 heading into the final frame, with Andy Bohmbach supplying the Heat goal. But Walter’s man-advantage snipes, combined with a solid 1-for-7 performance on the penalty kill and an empty-net goal from Brett Olson, helped Abbotsford snap its seven-game losing streak. But on Saturday, the Aeros got their power play in gear – they lit up the Heat to the

tune of three goals on six man-advantage chances en route to a 5-1 win. Johan Larsson scored twice for Houston, while Greg Nemisz mustered the lone Abby tally. “I thought we played a pretty good game on
Saturday in a lot of ways, we just didn’t win the special teams war,” Heat head coach Troy Ward said. “The chances were in our favour, I thought we carried the play at different times in the game, as we do most weekends five-on-
five. But if our special teams play is a little off . . . it’s difficult for us.” The Heat (27-23-8) now embark on their longest road trip of the season – a sevengame jaunt beginning Tuesday at the Hamilton Bulldogs.

Competing with the BC Aquasonics, Stobbe helped the club’s 13-15 national stream combo team win their division, achieving outstanding technical and ar-
tistic scores in their second routine to edge the Vancouver Pacific Wave for the gold. Stobbe also teamed with Madyson Stickley of Surrey to win the 13-15 duet event. They were in second place after Saturday’s figures event, but their routine on Sunday pushed them into first.

The UFV men’s hoopsters came within a whisker of earning a national championship berth of their own. Taking on the heavily favoured UBC Thunderbirds, the nation’s No. 4-ranked team, at UBC’s War Memorial Gym in the Canada West semifinals on Friday, the Cascades built a 34-26 lead at halftime. The first-half performance was all the more impressive considering UFV was without top scorer Sam Freeman, who suffered a broken rib in the Cascades’ first-round playoff win over the Saskatchewan Huskies the previous weekend.

Benning named most outstanding wrestler ver, 84 kg) and Pavan Sangha (bronze, 45 kg) also climbed the podium, while Davinder Gill (fifth, 51 kg) and Gagan Sangha (sixth, 66 kg) scored key points for the Hawks via top-six finishes. Three other Abbotsford boys teams also finished in the top 10. The two-time defending champion Rick Hansen Hurricanes tied for fifth with 38 points, followed by the MEI Eagles (eighth, 31 points) and the Yale Lions (ninth, 28 points). Hansen teammates Justin Gill and Jobanjit Phulka repeated as gold medallists – Gill won at 70 kg, and Phulka beat Batra in the 84 kg final.
MEI's Dave Sharma and Yale's Matt Dignan also won gold medals for the second straight year. Sharma was tops in the 54 kg division, while Dignan won the 57 kg title. Navdeep Toor of the Eugene Reimer Ravens won gold at 41 kg, while MEI's Rajan Gill rounded out the list of local medallists with a silver at 90 kg. With Benning and Randhawa, among others, set to return next year, Mouat has a great chance at defending its B.C. crown. "Both our gold medallists are back, so if we get a couple more in there, we could have another shot at it," Mitchell noted.

"He's a great kid, probably one of the best wrestlers we've ever had here in terms of the whole picture – his talent, and he's a team leader," Mitchell said of Benning.

BRUNNER Frieda (Wieler) nee Redekop May 15, 1920 ~ Feb. 27, 2013
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing away of Frieda, a former resident of Abbotsford. During her residence in Abbotsford in the late 1940s, the 1950s and the early 1960s, she was very active in the community, especially in the Central Heights Church where her husband, Rev. Abraham Wieler, served as Lead Pastor for several years. She was also greatly involved with what is now Columbia Bible College where her husband lectured for 14 years, from 1945 until 1959. During the last four years he also served as principal of the school. Predeceased by her husband, Abraham, by her three sons, Dennis, Gerald and Stanley, by granddaughters Stacey and Michelle, and by her brother Ernest, Frieda leaves to mourn her second husband, Fred Brunner, her daughter Karen and Karen’s partner Rob Kenzie, as well as her four sisters and brothers: Clara Anderson, Portland, Oregon; Paul Redekop, Abbotsford; Sophie (Neil) Toews, Kamloops; and John (Doris), Abbotsford. She is also remembered fondly by nine surviving grandchildren, numerous greatgrandchildren and many other relatives and friends. The memorial service for Frieda Brunner took place on Monday, March 4, 2013 at the New Hope Church, formerly the Kennedy Heights Mennonite Brethren Church in Delta, BC.
Edwin Ferdinand Janz (19172013) died peacefully on Tuesday, February 27th, 2013 at age 95. He was predeceased by Mary, his beloved wife of 63 years.

Laidlaw, Grace Ellen (nee Leitkie)
March 16, 1924 - February 22, 2013
Grace was born at home in St. Boniface MB and died peacefully at the Menno Home in Abbotsford, BC. She was predeceased by her parents William and Hanna Leitkie, her husband A.W. “Bill” Laidlaw, her brother Charles and her brotherin-law Walter McCaw. She is survived by her sons and daughters-in-law, William and Susan, Brett and Mary; her husband Roy Gomm and his children David (Judy) and Andrea (Nick Fraser); and her sisters Margaret Stoddart (Norman) and Frances McCaw. Grace and Bill were married in Winnipeg in 1951 and not long after that they moved to Eden Prairie, Minnesota, where they spent many happy years rearing two active boys. Grace not only gardened at home but also volunteered with the Glen Lake Garden Club. Among her other ac-
tivities she was a Cub Scout den mother and an avid golfer. Busy as she was she found time to do part-time secretarial work and later became the secretary at a school for mentally handicapped young people. Grace nurtured and loved those around her. Grace and Bill moved to Abbotsford in 1983. It was here that Bill died in 1990. In 1992 Grace and Roy, both widowed, decided to spend their remaining years together. They were happy years spent traveling the world. Among their activities was active participation in the M.S.A. Kiwanis Club. Grace and Roy gave unstintingly of their time to the Kiwanis Club. She was awarded the Senior of the Year Award by the Fraser Valley Seniors Resource Center in 2004. Her gracious, loving nature will be sadly missed. The family would like to add a special note of appreciation to the caring staff at the Menno Home. In accordance with her wishes Grace will be cremated and her ashes interred in Winnipeg. There will be a service of remembrance for Grace at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, March 8 at the Calvin Presbyterian Church, 2597 Bourquin Crescent East, Abbotsford. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Abbotsford Hospice Society, 33134 Marshall Road Abbotsford, BC V2S 1K5 (www. abbotsfordhospice.org).
DOUGHTY ELLEN
Ellen Doughty passed away at the Sherwood Manor Nursing Home in Abbotsford, BC on February 2, 2013, at 98 years of age. Ellen was born October 8, 1914 near Medora, Manitoba to George and Anne Marie (Lavigne) Doughty. The family moved to Winnipeg in the 1920's, where Ellen graduated from Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute in 1930 with a commercial diploma in typing, shorthand and bookkeeping. This was the beginning of the Depression and full-time work was very hard to find, but she did finally land a position with Home Publishing, a subsidiary of the printing firm Stovel Co. Ltd., where she stayed until 1953. Ellen moved on to other employment, working in administration at The Stony Mountain Institution and later as Visits and Correspondence Officer in The Matsqui Institution in Abbotsford, BC. Ellen retired in 1979 and lived independently in her home in Abbotsford until 3 years ago, when she had to go into the Sherwood Manor. Ellen was a wonderful pianist and played in various old time bands in Manitoba and BC, entertaining at weddings, dances and other occasions. Two weeks before her 95th birthday, almost deaf and suffering from severe arthritis in her hands, she sat for two hours entertaining relatives by playing many favorite tunes from the past. Ellen was a very independent person, who loved working in her yard, growing flowers and a vegetable garden. She also made a very tasty rhubarb wine that was much enjoyed by her visitors. Ellen spent many Christmases in Portland, Oregon with close friends and she drove her car down and back every year, including 2004 when she was 90 years old. Since she claimed to have previously “promised the general public to get off the freeways when she was 90”, she made herself ride the train or bus to Portland thereafter. Ellen was predeceased by her father George, her mother Anne Marie (Julliette), her sisters and brothers-in-law Ethel (Bill) Chegwin and Olive (Bill) Irwin; as well as the love of her life Tom Sinclair. She is survived by numerous cousins and friends. Ellen will be interred beside her true love Tom Sinclair at Brookside Cemetery in Winnipeg at a later date.

• the objective of bringing electricity from one point to another has been reached • the circuit breaker has not tripped • the installation has not arced, shorted out or ignited
FACT: Incorrectly installed electrical components and improperly wired connections, although unsafe, may function just fine - for a period of time. The question is, for how long?
FACT: Electricity is not very forgiving. When it fails, the result can be anything from a power loss or damaged appliances, to a devastating fire. Are you willing to take that risk?
Doesn’t it make more sense to have the work done by a qualified professional who is trained and experienced in correct procedures, follows the Electrical Code in safe installations, looks after all of the critical details, then backs up his work with the best warranties and guarantees in town?
For peace of mind in knowing that your electrical work is done correctly, call us. ABBOTSFORD CRIME FREE Multi Housing Program
Your safety, security and peace of mind are always our priority.
