Video records man being hit by car Police release graphic video to raise driver awarenesss of pedestrians

MOMENTS OF HISTORY

A7 The Reach has released a series of videos designed to get kids interested in heritage

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The 64-year-old man is waiting to cross at a marked crosswalk. A woman pushing a stroller, along with two young children, comes up behind him.

A car to their left stops, and the pedestrians proceed north across Hillcrest. As they are walking across the last half of the crosswalk, a Volkswagen Jetta to their right does not slow down. It plows into the man, propelling him 50 feet down the road.

Struck on Dec. 10, he is still recovering from head injuries and fractures to his lower body.

The driver had taken her eyes off the road to look at her purse.

Abbotsford Police are hoping the release of the graphic video (view it on abbynews.com) will increase awareness of distracted driving, which is a serious, ongoing issue on local roads, says Abbotsford Police Const.

Ian MacDonald.

Laws enacted in 2010 to prohibit the use of handheld devices while driving are not getting through to all motorists, he

A home surveillance video captured a pedestrian accident, in which the man in the crosswalk above is struck by a distracted driver in the white car approaching from the right. At that intersection on Wednesday morning, Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald says pedestrian accidents and distracted driving continue to be serious issues in the city.

n incident of a coyote that chewed into its leg in an attempt escape a leg-hold trap in Abbotsford is being investigated by provincial conservation officers.

Groups have called for better regulation of trapping in B.C., after the animal was left in a trap for days and had to be euthanized due to the severity of the injury and infection. The proper setting, use and monitoring of traps is enforced by conservation officers.

A couple discovered the coyote on March 2 with its leg caught in a padded leghold trap, entangled in some branches in a wooded area of Beaton Road near the Fraser River.

The animal was brought to Critter Care Wildlife Society of Langley.

Since the incident, the Association for the Protection of Fur-bearing Animals (APFA) has reiterated its call for reform on leghold trap laws in B.C. and asked the City of Abbotsford to stop any cityendorsed use of traps.

But Katherine Jeffcoat, director of communications for the City of Abbotsford, said the city has little control over trapping, and most of the regulations are within provincial jurisdiction.

She explained that the city is only allowed to regulate what occurs on its parkland, and there is an existing parks bylaw that prohibits the injuring, trapping or snaring of any bird or animal in any park.

Council or agents of the city may, with the consent of the minister of the environment, trap and remove animals from its parks.

In the past, Abbotsford has used beaver traps, but Jeffcoat said the city does its best to prevent the intrusion of beavers and cut down on unnecessary trapping.

Jeffcoat said the community charter states that city bylaws have no effect if they are inconsistent with pro-

50% off frames ask FoR dEtails

vincial regulation, making it difficult to introduce a trapping bylaw within the city.

A spokesperson for the ministry of forests, lands and natural resource operations said any municipality interested in creating a wildlife bylaw, which would include proposals on leghold traps, must work in consultation with the ministry.

The ministry is currently reviewing how to handle trapping bylaw requests by some municipalities, but has made no final decision.

The provincial spokesperson said traps must be monitored by the person who set them, and must be licensed by the province, unless the

two days, had chewed four to five centimetres into its own leg, the bone was broken and the wound was septic.

The AFPA suggests giving traps serial numbers or ID tags, so trappers could be identified.

Mike Morris, president of the BC Trappers Association, said their group is dismayed by the incident in Abbotsford. He said cases like this are usually due to inexperienced or unlicensed trappers experiencing a problem with wildlife and “taking matters in their own hands.”

“I would say it’s

trapper is First Nations.

Any traps on Crown land can only be placed on a registered trapline and must be checked a minimum of every 72 hours.

On private property, they must be set with the permission of the landowner, or through a permit. The traps are supposed to be checked every 24 hours.

In a case such as the coyote found in Abbotsford, where the animal had been able to drag itself away from the original trapping site, it’s not always clear who is responsible.

Critter Care performed an examination of the coyote and determined that it had been caught for at least

from somebody who has no experience on how to set them and where to set them and had no ethics in looking after it once it was set.”

He said the association would be open to more effective regulation, and the association has considered the idea of having licensed trappers put a name and phone number on traps, but this would not assist in finding people who are trapping illegally or irresponsibly.

He said if people are walking with their pets in the bush, they should assume there is a possibility of traps. He said identifying traps with signs is an issue, because people often steal

or dismantle legal traps.

Morris said the association has heard of several incidents of animals being inappropriately trapped in urban areas this year, and it is becoming more prevalent, but said these issues often arise on private property. He said an experienced and licensed trapper would check their trap every 24 hours to ensure an animals wasn’t needlessly suffering.

Angela Fontana from Critter Care said the number of animals brought to them after being caught in traps has increased in the past few years.

In the past year, the organization has been brought about 10 animals, mainly raccoons and skunks, from across the Lower Mainland. The animals usually have to be euthanized. Though Critter Care generally deals with wildlife, Fontana said she knows household pets are occasionally caught in traps.

Elizabeth Melnick, from Elizabeth’s Wildlife Centre in Abbotsford, said they received the call about the coyote, but forwarded it to Critter Care, which is better equipped to deal with large animals.

She is distressed by the incident, calling the traps “brutal” and “horrific.”

Dr. Ken Macquisten, a veterinarian at the Whatcom Road Veterinary Hospital, said the incident raises concerns for the petowning community.

“I’m dismayed to know this incredibly cruel method … is being employed in Abbotsford.”

He said as a pet-owner and a veterinarian, he is worried that there is no way to know where traps are set, even though they can cause serious injury to animals and for smaller dogs, can cause death.

The ministry does not keep statistics on how many pets are caught in traps each year, as there is no requirement for a trapper to report the capture of a household pet.

Bringing BC’s Communities together.

Police seeking suspects involved in highway incident Police are looking for two suspects who were travelling along Highway 1 in Abbotsford on Feb. 27 when they pointed a green laser into the eyes of another driver, causing her possible eye damage.

RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen said the woman was driving west at No. 3 Road at about 4 p.m., when she was passed in the right lane by a greyish Audi with a B.C. licence plate.

The Audi, driven by a woman,

pulled in front of the victim, and the male passenger stood up, with his head through the sun roof, and spit on the victim’s windshield.

The man then sat down and pointed a green laser through the Audi’s rear window at the victim’s eyes, causing her to not be able to see her surroundings, Thiessen said.

The victim lost sight of the Audi around Clearbrook Road, as it sped away.

The driver was in her early 20s and had dark-brown hair. The man, also in his 20s, had a large build and fair hair that was shaved on both sides.

Police are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect vehicle and its occupants. Anyone with information is asked to call Const. Lee Keane of Fraser Valley Traffic Services at 604-869-1397 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- TIPS.

Smith was four months old when he contracted meningococcal septicemia and was given a two per cent chance of surviving.

He was in a coma for 10 days and spent

four months in hospital.

Smith told the students at Abbotsford Traditional that he lets nothing stop him.

He started playing basketball at eight years old, and it took him four years to score his first basket, he said.

In 2005, at the age of 15, he was chosen for the Canadian Junior National Wheelchair Basketball Team,

which played in the world championships in England. He was the youngest player on the team.

Smith was also a member of his high school honour band.

He is now touring with The Why Factor to encourage people to strive to be their best.

“There’s nothing in this world more important than achieving your goals,” he said.

“If there’s one thing I want you to take away from this presentation, it’s that you are the masters of your destiny. You can go as far in this world as you want.”

That was the message to students at Abbotsford Traditional Middle School from Shayne Smith.

He lost both legs and one hand due to a bacterial infection at four months of age.

On Monday morning Smith, 24, brought his inspirational message to Abbotsford Traditional Middle School – the first stop on his speaking tour of the city Everyone has hardships in life – it’s your attitude that impacts how you deal with them, said Smith, a motivational speaker through the Why Factor program.

Leg-hold traps

OF THE WEEK Should police be able to seize cell phones from drivers breaking the laws on the use of handheld devices?

Trapping is a choice made by the person that wishes to trap. It could be a tradition passed down from generation to generation and provide a livelihood...

Tim Singer

To answer, go to abbynews.com

I hope in our lifetime we see an end to this atrocious practice. Unless we all sign every petition, shout our opinions to the legislators and governing bodies and demean every one in every public place we see wearing fur ... this will never end.

Annie Wilczak

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Should leg-hold traps be banned in B.C.?

It is beyond me how we can call ourselves human, and yet we commit acts that are totally inhumane.

On Point “Driving is such a part of North American culture. We just consider it part of our routine … I don’t think we take into consideration that we are holding our lives and the lives of our passengers in our hands and the lives of others on the roads.”

Those are the sage words of Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald, offered in the context of distracted driving, and the decision by police to release a disturbing video this week of a pedestrian being hit by a distracted driver.

It’s a deeply serious issue in this city, and every other community in this country.

Think about what MacDonald said.

While we’re driving, how often do we truly reflect upon the fact that we are in control of a ton or more of metal and plastic that is hurtling along at speeds

And I’m not here to defend her.

For me, maybe for my passengers, and maybe for someone else.

No one who has spent considerable time in the driver’s seat can say they’ve not had such a moment.

And that’s what the police are trying to do with the video.

Get us to think of those moments.

Frequently. Maybe starting at 0 kilometres per hour – when we turn the ignition key.

Is that realistic? Probably not.

Is it a worthy objective? Absolutely.

We can’t help what other people are doing, or not doing, on the road. We are, however, responsible for what we do.

Watch that video. Watch it again.

And say to yourself, not only, “There’s a bad driver,” but “There but for the grace of God, go I.” And hopefully, you’re not depending on such divine intervention when you’re in control of a vehicle.

Pedestrian safety in Abbotsford is a major concern

Re: “Second pedestrian fatality.”

My empathy goes out to the families and friends of the victims.

Pedestrian safety in Abbotsford has been, and is, a major concern to me.

I do lots of walking about our city and there is not a week that goes by that I do not experience close calls in crosswalks while crossing the street at inter-

sections, even when the walk signal is showing.

This is greatest at T-junctions where the drivers of vehicles do not have to be concerned with oncoming traffic or are filtering to the right and only look to their left.

In my opinion, drivers should not be shown a green light at the same time that pedestrians are in these

crosswalks when a walk signal is showing.

Many drivers are not pedestrians and often seem unaware of the walk light at these junctions.

I have raised my concerns with the traffic planning department in the city and even suggested improvements to the situation.

Basically, the response I got was that they are aware of

such problems, but in this day and age one must not delay the motorist unduly.

I am a senior myself so it might be seen as being self-interest only. I suppose many of us seniors have completed our useful contributions to society and so what if a few of us pay the ultimate price, so long as traffic is not unduly delayed!

After all, it isn’t

Check your night driving lights There seems to be a growing trend among drivers to no longer use their headlights at night.

For some reason, people are mistaking their “daytime running lights” as a substitute for their actual headlights, but for the vast majority of vehicles on the road, this is a dangerously misguided belief on the driver’s part.

Daytime running lights generally operate at a lower wattage (are dimmer) and do not correctly illuminate the road or vehicle for night or inclement weather driving.

As the name implies, they are a safety feature that increases your vehicle’s vis-

ibility to other drivers on the road during the day.

Do not assume that they automatically activate the taillights on your vehicle (this is only true on some of the older domestic vehicles).

This is why all vehicles are still equipped with a manual headlight switch because the manufacturers think that drivers know enough to use their headlights at night and in poor visibility driving conditions (ie: heavy rain).

This is particularly true of Japanese import vehicles. It was a near invisible, darkcoloured Mazda I was sharing Highway 11 with one rainy night last week which has prompted me to finally

pen this letter.

No matter what kind of vehicle you drive, please take 10 seconds to check your lights the next time you venture out.

I am guessing that a lot of you are going to be shocked to learn that you have been stealthily driving around at night without taillights.

On a final note, could the sales representatives at the car dealerships please take the initiative to inform their customers of the difference between daytime running lights and headlights before the vehicle leaves the car lot?

Demand that judges be elected Here we go again, another “prophetic” warning from local police. Only three weeks since the last robbery/rape by a repeat offender in our community, and our so-called justice system throws another piranha into the goldfish bowl.

Whose daughter, sister, wife, mother or grandmother will need to be raped in order

to put Adrian Wilson behind bars again (for just a little while, of course)?

When are we going to demand that judges be elected, so that we can throw them out into the street with the criminals they release among us?

No pesticides at three schools District cuts back on use of weed killers said these sites have received a thorough weeding, and blackberry bushes have been cut back along fence lines.

The grass will be cut on playing fields throughout the season, but otherwise the sites will be left alone.

Stephen said the goal is to gauge the growth of weeds and blackberries, and the appearance of the school grounds.

The test period will run until Jan. 31, 2014.

The district will maintain its policy of not spraying pesticides in play areas or on fields.

Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask! Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information specic to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent.

Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home.

Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold.

This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-

The Abbotsford school district is cutting back on pesticide use.

Three schools will be pesticide-free for a year, while the use of Caseron has been eliminated throughout the district, and there will be a 50 per cent reduction in the use of Roundup.

Caseron and Roundup are both weed killers.

The three schools where no pesticides will be used are McMillan elementary, Rick Hansen secondary, and Abbotsford middle school.

and determined to not be a problem.

The property is located in the area of Clearbrook and Huntingdon roads.

Ron MacLeod and Thomas Loo, compliance and enforcement officers for the ALC, said the city has stopped the owner from bringing in more asphalt, but as the intended use of the material currently stockpiled is for building, it does not contravene Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR) regulations.

“It sounds like it’s going to be a new house and a driveway, so provided the materials are used for the driveway or as part of the house… we have no issue,” said Loo. MacLeod said the owners are going through the building

permit process with the city.

The original complaint was filed by Abbotsford resident Anne Graham, who 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.

MacLeod said that the ALC does not “condone asphalt or concrete deposition within the Agricultural Land Reserve,” and the only time that it would be considered is if it is for a topping for a farm road.

Jim Gordon, Abbotsford’s general manager of engineering and regional utilities, said the city is aware the landowner plans to use the crushed asphalt to create a driveway.

Legal-Ease

I often get calls from people asking if there is any reason why they should not use the “do-it-yourself ” divorce resources available over the Internet.

While these resources may seem like a cheap alternative to hiring a lawyer to prepare a separation agreement or negotiate a settlement with your spouse, they can end up costing you much more in the long run.

Even in situations where you and your spouse are able to discuss things without fighting, hiring a lawyer to provide you with the legal advice you need in order to understand your rights and obligations, and to prepare documents that will withstand a legal challenge, is worth the investment in your future and your children’s future.

Trucker acquitted of smuggling cocaine Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has acquitted a Surrey truck driver of attempting to smuggle cocaine across the border into Abbotsford in July 2009.

Amritpal Singh Narwal, 30, was found not guilty in New Westminster of one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking and one count of unlawfully importing cocaine.

Narwal, who worked for a Surrey trucking company, was stopped at the Abbotsford-Huntingdon border crossing on his way into Canada on July 19, 2009 in a 2003 Kenworth tractor pulling an apparently empty commercial trailer.

He presented documentation – later shown to be fake – indicating that he had delivered a load of peppers from a farm in Delta to a grocery store in Auburn, Wash.

In fact, evidence indicated that Narwal had actually travelled from Surrey to Los Angeles, California.

During an inspection of the trailer, a border guard noticed that two washers holding screws to a metal plate at the back of a refrigeration unit appeared scratched, “as if the plate had been removed and replaced repeatedly,” court documents states.

The officer removed one of the screws, peered behind and pulled

out two kilograms of cocaine.

The plate was removed, showing that part of the fridge had been hollowed out. A total of 144 kilos of cocaine was discovered.

The street value of the drugs was estimated to be $5 million.

Narwal’s defence was that he had no knowledge of the cocaine.

He said he had been instructed by a dispatcher for the trucking company to take a tractor unit from the Surrey yard, drive to a specific truck stop in Washington State, and pick up an empty trailer there. He said he was told to drive to Los Angeles with the empty trailer to pick up a rush load of produce for return to B.C. Narwal said the order was then cancelled when he arrived in California, and he returned with the empty trailer. He made a few stops on the way there and back.

He said he provided fake documentation at the border to make it appear that he had only been in the U.S. for a day in order not to be caught having driven more than the authorized number of hours on the trip without taking downtime.

Justice John Truscott concluded that whoever loaded the cocaine on the trailer did so without Narwal’s knowledge “so that the accused would not appear nervous at the border or disappear with the cocaine.”

Seniors’ housing underway Construction is now underway on a 64-unit affordablehousing complex for seniors.

The complex, located at 33585 and 33580 Braun Ave. in Abbotsford, will be operated by Lynnhaven Society and features two four-storey woodframe buildings with 32 studio units each.

The new development will replace a 40-unit building for seniors operated by the non-profit Lynnhaven Society on Lynn Avenue.

That building was constructed in the 1950s and is in rough shape.

The Braun Avenue site was originally owned

by Algra Brothers Developments Ltd., which exchanged ownership of that site for the Society’s Lynn Avenue site.

Construction is expected to be complete by spring 2014.

The federal government is providing a $20,000 Seed Funding Grant and Proposal Development Funding of $50,000 through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

The provincial government will provide $47,000 and arrange approximately $4 million in long-term financing.

The City of Abbotsford provided $320,000 in equity, and the Lynnhaven Society provided the land, valued at over $2.7 million, and $5,000 in equity.

MCC mourns death of auctioneer

A19

Long-term volunteer Clyde Dougans remembered

Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) staff and volunteers are mourning the loss of their friend and long-term volunteer Clyde Dougans.

Dougans was a fixture at the annual MCC Festival for World Relief in Abbotsford where he entertained crowds as an auctioneer, helping MCC to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars over the span of his career.

“Clyde was the life and the energy that has driven the MCC auction for many

years,” said Dora Hoeppner, MCC BC Relief Sale co-ordinator. “He will be sorely missed.”

Tim Kroeker, who volunteers in the auction area and worked with Dougans for years, reflected on the gifts Dougans brought to the auction and the other volunteers.

“Clyde was a great guy and had a huge impact on the MCC sale for over 35 years. I always enjoyed seeing his big smile and hearing his laugh – his energy was contagious,”

Kroeker said.

Dougans would share the stage with other auctioneers but was far more entertaining when he was on the floor watching as bidding numbers were being raised.

It was often said that he might come between people and their wallets during

the auction. that it was not He was just about enknown to ask tertainment the auctionor about aceer to pause quiring more for a moment things.

UFV students support Abby/Chwk shuttle bus 75 per cent of voting members in favour

University of the Fraser Valley students have voted in support of hiring a private shuttle bus between Abbotsford and Chilliwack campuses.

And just in time, as Greyhound reduced its service last week.

Preliminary results show that approximately 75 per cent of voting UFV Student Union Society members are in favour of paying $6.75 per year to hire a shuttle bus, tweeted SUS president Shane Potter on Monday.

Final ratification will be on Friday.

The proposed shuttle would run between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., 10 times per day, and would be open to students, faculty, and staff.

Last Friday, Chilliwack residents noticed that Greyhound trips between the two cities have been cut.

Instead of the past 10 daily trips, there are now five. They run three times in the morning before 9:30 a.m., and two at night after 7 p.m.

There is no public bus between the two cities.

Crematorium in next step of meeting conditions Consumer Protection BC lifted freeze on funds, construction at midway point

Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

The Fraser River Community Crematorium Society has entered into a

voluntary undertaking with Consumer Protection BC, which contains a set of conditions it must meet before it can accept

money for funeral or cremation services.

The agency previously stepped in to ensure the new facility was meeting regu-

lations.

The crematorium society was created because cremation is an important part of funeral ceremo-

nies in the Sikh and Hindu religions, and Abbotsford does not have a facility to accommodate the large processions with hun-

dreds of guests. The facility, which is still under construction, is located on Riverside Road.

ance order was issued to the society, preventing it from collecting any money for services. At the time, the society needed to acquire a licence to be a funeral and cemetery service provider, establish a price list for services, provide pre-need contracts and deposit all funds received for services into a trust account.

Tayt Winnitoy, vicepresident of operations for Consumer Protection BC, said the undertaking is the next step in the process.

He said the issue raised last year was primarily regarding the fact that donations were being accepted to build the facility, with portions being earmarked for funeral and cemetery services.

“Under B.C. law, if you receive money from anybody for funeral or cemetery service, the legislation requires that money be placed into a trust account under a pre-need cemetery or funeral service contract.”

Last year’s compliance order included a “property freezing order” which tied up the money and the property until assurances were made.

“The funds that we were concerned about have now been redirected into the appropriate places,” said Winnitoy, adding that a funeral provider licence has also been obtained by the group.

“We are satisfied that the consumer funds were protected and therefore we lifted the freeze order on their assets.”

The society is required to reimburse Consumer Protection BC for the cost of inspection and legal costs, totalling $15,467.

Paul Wadhawan, a member of the society, said there is no issue left with development of the crematorium.

“We are constructing the building right now. It’s about half done and will probably be opening in July.”

The society still needs to acquire a crematorium operator licence.

Stockyard will ‘Make a Difference’ Local auction raises funds for Foodgrains Bank

Taylor JOHNSON Contributor

M c C l a r y ’ s Stockyard will be hosting a Make a Difference Sale on March 21, raising funds for Foodgrain Banks, which assists impoverished people around the globe.

The annual auction begins at 10 a.m.

sharp at McClary’s stockyard on McClary Avenue off Sumas Way in Abbotsford.

Up for bidding will be a variety of donated items, such as farm tools, pressure washers, toys and potatoes. Like last year, livestock will also be auctioned, such as cattle and a pig.

Also featured will be tickets and gift cards, including fishing trips, and Vancouver Canucks and Abbotsford Heat games.

Among the most popular items last year were large cheese wheels, which were purchased, then donated back to the auction, and sold again.

In total, nearly $120,000 was raised last year.

For every dollar raised by the McClary

auction, the federal government matches it four to one.

The proceeds raised will be used by Foodgrains Bank to improve health care, nutrition and provide clean water to people in Third World nations.

Foodgrains Bank focuses on providing food assistance to communities internationally. To date, the organization has provided 1.1 million tonnes of food to people in need.

Sales saw a surge in February Sales on Fraser Valley’s Multiple Listing Service in February experienced a typical early spring surge, increasing by 48 per cent in one month, going from 617 sales in January to 913 last month. However, year-over-year, they reflect a decrease of 28 per cent compared to the 1,269 sales processed in February 2012. Since last September, home sales have idled at levels last seen in the early 2000s.

Based on February’s increase in activity, Ron Todson, president of the board, is guardedly optimistic.

“We’re seeing signals that the stand-off between buyers and sellers over the last six months is coming to an end.

“Business has picked up in the last month with increased traffic at open houses, sellers quicker to accept offers and homes selling on average two weeks faster than they did in January.”

5 Reasons you should say no to mortgage life insurance, and use a liscensed insurance broker: 1. Our Policies are portable, not tied to just your lender.

Todson adds that tightening inventory has also had an effect, “When buyers see that their selection is diminishing they’re more motivated to act.” The board posted 2,582 new listings last month – a decrease of 9 per cent compared to the 2,846 posted during February last year, pushing the total number of active listings down by 1.6 per cent compared to 2012.

“As your realtor will explain, each market is different. Right now, the market for detached homes is balanced in North Delta and Langley. The condo market is brisk in Abbotsford and central Surrey, and townhome sales are steady in north and central Surrey as well as Cloverdale.

“One commonality amongst these areas and property types is greater affordability. What’s not doing well generally anywhere in the Fraser

In February, the benchmark price of single family detached homes in the Fraser Valley was $540,900, an increase of 0.7 per cent compared to $537,200 during the same month last year. For townhouses, the benchmark price was $296,700, a decrease of 1.3 per cent compared to $300,500 in February 2012 and the benchmark price of apartments was $202,500, an increase of 1.5 per cent compared to $199,500 in February 2012.

In February, it took on average 49 days to sell a detached home compared to 64 days in January.

Townhomes took 60 days on average to sell compared to 72 days the month before and apartments spent an average of 66 days on the market in February compared to 83 days in January.

Being a “Navy Brat”, I grew up on the west and east coasts of Canada. However Victoria was my main home. In 1970 I moved to Abbotsford where my Children were born and raised, and my 7 Grandchildren were born.

Good things come in small packages

Lorie Chortyk

My office roommate has her quirks – she spends most of the day snoozing, is obsessive about exercise and can be a bit self-righteous about her healthy

vegetable-and-seed diet.

But I guess she can be forgiven her eccentricities given that my officemate is actually a dwarf hamster

named Holly, whose spacious habitat overlooks my desk at the head office of the BC SPCA. Like H o l l y, hundreds of hamsters, guinea

pigs, rabbits and other small animals are surrendered to the SPCA and are in need of loving homes.

Each year the BC SPCA designates

March as Small Animal Month to draw attention to these wonderful pint-sized pets available for adoption at shelters across the province.

BIGGERRRrrrrrr on the TELUS 4G mobile network.

In partnership with the Government of BC, TELUS has brought 4G to Fraser Canyon. It’s all part of our commitment to being your best mobile network.

Join BC’s biggest mobile network at telusmobility.com *

Small animals are often overlooked, perhaps because people don’t see them as “real” pets.

But rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, rats and hamsters come with delightful and inquisitive personalities, fascinating behaviours and the ability to enrich our lives.

While Homer’s nocturnal habits make him a quiet and unassuming office-mate, he regularly rouses himself from sleep to greet colleagues or visitors who pop by – in the hopes they may have brought along a hamster treat or two.

He also has very particular home design ideas and spends hours rearranging the tubes, toys and treats I put into his habitat to get the look “just right.”

Small animals are great for people who have pet restrictions where they live.

They don’t take up a lot of space or make much noise.

But small animals do have unique care needs and, as with cats and dogs, people should familiarize themselves with the animal’s characteristics to ensure a suitable match.

So, before you head out to a BC SPCA shelter to adopt, check out our pet care pages first to learn what you need to do to keep your potential pet happy and healthy.

Then, should you feel ready to bring a small animal (or two!) into your life, check our adoption listings (spca.bc.ca) or stop by a shelter to find one just right for you.

Yard sale raises $5,100

RUN FOR WATER MARATHON / HALF MARATHON / 10K RUN / 5K FUN RUN

WHO?

CHERYL FRANK, Grade 6 teacher at Colleen & Gordie Howe Middle School, who brings students to the Envision Financial Run for Water every year.

Funds to go to orphanage in Kenya A total of $5,100 was raised at a yard sale and Storage Wars-style auction recently to help purchase land for a new orphanage in western Kenya.

Imani Orphan Care Foundation held the event on Blossom Court in Abbotsford.

The public was invited to bid on an abandoned storage unit that had been donated by Mask Mini Storage in Kamloops, but no bids were received.

Instead, the unit was opened up and the items were sold individually.

The unit contained three cabinets, two sewing machines, and several boxes

that held items such as Bibles, pictures and ornaments.

The yard sale included items divided into areas such as a toy “store,” a home decor section, and a clothing/accessories boutique.

The foundation will use the funds to purchase land for the new Imani Orphan Care Children’s Home in the rural town of Ogembo.

The home will support 80 children currently in care, as well as many other children living on the streets in the surrounding area.

For more information, visit imaniorphancare.com.

WHAT?

Cheryl teaches free downloadable curriculum from the Envision Financial Run for Water website that uses water as a reference point to teach students global citizenship, healthy living, as well as fulfill some social studies and English B.C. ministry outcomes.

WHY?

$35 provides clean water for one child for life.

“I was first introduced to Run For Water as a runner in community run programs. After my first year as a participant I learned about the school level of participation. It was an instant sell for me, and when I introduced the idea to our staff they were all eager to have our school participate. Our primary reason at the time was for community involvement; to have our students take part in

something that brings pride to the City of Abbotsford.

Our reason now has greatly shifted. Run For Water teaches global citizenship and social responsibility in a very interactive and hands on way. I truly enjoy seeing the pride that students get in being a part of a cause that directly helps children across the world. Children helping children is such a powerful message.”

Abbotsford¹s Cody Friesen and Sharra Ganzeveld as Mr. and Mrs. Weston in TWU’s SAMC Theatre’s production of Jane Austen’ s Emma.

Locals lend talent to Emma

Trinity Western University’s School of the Arts, Media and Culture is presenting the timeless romance, Emma, until March 23.

The year is 1814 and Emma Woodhouse is eager to see her friends happily married.

Giddy with the success of one match, Emma ignores the warnings of Mr. Knightley and turns her attention to young Harriet Smith, determined to ensure a suitable union.

But Emma’s efforts misfire, resulting in a flurry of comic complications that uncover the real effects of her meddling and reveal how little Emma knows about true love.

The cast includes two Abbotsford performers, Cody Friesen and

Sharra Ganzeveld, who play Mr. and Mrs. Weston, one of Emma’s successful matches.

“Directing a show about a matchmaker in these days of eHarmony and match.com is really fascinating,” said assistant professor, Aaron Caleb, who helms the production. “Whatever the century, we all look for love and the events and insights of this story remain startlingly fresh. When you add in Jane Austen’s vivid, charming characters, the result is delight from start to finish.”

Emma plays on the TWU campus until March 23 at 7:30 p.m.

Tuesdays to Saturdays. There are also 2 p.m. matinees on Saturdays.

Abbotsford News

As his team prepares to head off to its first-ever Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) national championship, Al Tuchscherer knows they can’t afford any stage fright.

The University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball coach believes his group has the chops to contend for the title – and they do, having occupied a nosebleed-high spot in the national rankings all season.

But Tuchscherer also knows the Cascades need to play with an aggressive edge from tip-off to final buzzer every game at nationals, which run Friday through Sunday at the University of Regina.

“That’s been a major theme for us – being in attack mode at both ends of the floor” he said, reflecting on the conversations he’s had with his team leading up to nationals.

“When we do that, it opens doors for us.

When we play tentative, it opens doors for the opposition.

“When we’re fully engaged with that aggressive idea, you see us being quite dominant.”

At first glance, the seedings for the national tournament seem a little goofy.

The Cascades are No. 7 in the eight-team draw, despite the fact they haven’t been ranked lower than No. 4 in the national coaches’ poll all season.

The UFV women were No. 3 in the last CIS rankings, which is higher than four teams seeded above them at nationals – including their firstround opponent, the Saint Mary’s Huskies. The Halifax squad, which won the Atlantic University Sport conference title, was No. 4 in the final CIS poll, but they’re the No. 2 seed at nationals.

T u c h s c h e r e r, though, has no beef.

“I think they’re fair, to be honest,” he said.

“We’re the third team out of Canada West, and they have guide-

Kodiaks stun Pilots in Game 5

Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

The end of the Abbotsford Pilots’ season was a plot twist so stunning, it could have been plucked from an M. Night Shyamalan movie script.

Just one week ago, the local junior B hockey club was celebrating a dominant 8-1 win over the Aldergrove Kodiaks in Game 1 of their best-of-seven PJHL semifinal series, with a terrific regular season and a first-round sweep of the Mission City Outlaws in the rear-view mirror.

But the Kodiaks came storming back to win the next four games, including two in double overtime, and secured a trip to the league finals with a 4-1 tri-

umph on Tuesday at MSA Arena.

And just like that, the Pilots – provincial and Western Canadian champions last season – are done.

“No one could have predicted it, I didn’t see it coming,” Pilots centre Adam Rossi said afterward. “But the bounces didn’t go our way, and next thing you know, we’re down 3-1 (in the series). And then they score on the first shift (in Game 5). But that’s hockey, right?”

Pilots coach Jim Cowden pointed out the series could have easily gone the other way – his squad held third-period leads in Games 3 and 4 before falling in double-OT both nights. He didn’t feel his team came prepared in Game 5,

but he was equally displeased with some of the early penalty calls that went against the Pilots.

“It’s really tough,” summarized Rossi, a 20-year-old whose junior eligibility is now

Pilots goalie Aaron Oakley goes for a poke-check against Aldergrove on Tuesday night.

“But I had a good career with a really good group of guys, and I had fun every day coming to the rink. I guess that’s all that counts, right?”

Abbotsford athletes Ben Ball and Mike Mason were winners at the Sport BC awards gala last week at the River Rock Show Theatre in Richmond.

Ball, a Mennonite Educational Institute grad, was named the province's university athlete of the year for his exploits with the Trinity Western men's volleyball team. The fifth-year setter was the CIS men's volleyball player of the year and the Canada West athlete of the year in 2012 after guiding the Spartans to their second consecutive national title.

"Winning this award is a huge honour," acknowledged Ball.

"Individual awards are kind of funny to me because there were so many people involved with me at TWU; I am nowhere as an individual."

Mason, a Nanoose Bay native and a member of Abbotsford's Valley Royals track and field club, won the Harry Jerome comeback award.

The world junior champ in 2004, Mason battled nagging ankle injuries for several years and underwent surgery to remove a bone chip. He returned to form last year under the tutelage of Royals power/speed coach Ziggy Szelagowicz, qualifying for the Canadian Olympic team and finishing eighth at the London Games.

Kayla Bruce of the UFV women's volleyball team was also a Sport BC nominee, but she was beaten out for the college athlete of the year award

by Jenna Ralston of the Capilano Blues women's basketball squad.

The highlight of Schmidt’s Team Canada tenure came last summer, when she helped the squad to a bronze medal at the London Olympics.

At the Cyprus Cup, Canada also posted victories over Finland (2-1 on Friday) and the Netherlands (1-0 on Monday) to earn a spot in the tournament final, where they were set to meet England on Wednesday. That result was unavailable at press time.

Karate event a hit

Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

The first annual Fraser Valley Traditional Karate Invitational was held Saturday at Abbotsford T r a d i t i o n a l Secondary.

The event drew 120 athletes from across the province, and featured some impressive performances from local athletes.

"The tournament was really successful," said sensei Harry Sidhu of the Abbotsford Shotokan Karate Dojo, which cohosted the event with Va l l e y Shidokan Karate of Chilliwack.

"We're going to do it again next year, and we expect it to be even bigger. We'll have a full year to plan it, and we learned a lot."

The tournament also had a charitable component, and organizers donated their $500 profit from conces-

sions, sponsorship and ticketing back to the leadership

Miller, Campbell off to Hong Kong for sevens rugby tourney n Spencer Miller and Joey Campbell of the Abbotsford Rugby Football Club have been named to the B.C. Elite Youth Sevens side for a major international tournament in Hong Kong later this month.

The local duo were among 12 players picked for the provincial U18 side that will travel to the Hong Kong Standard Chartered Bank Youth International Sevens, where they will compete on March 22 against a field of teams from Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Team B.C. won the 2012 edition of the Hong Kong tourney, and Miller, an electric scrum half who traveled with the B.C. sevens program to all three major tournaments in 2012, is the only returning player from last year’s championship-winning side.

McDOWALL Walter Robert May 29, 1927 ~ March 11, 2013

Suddenly passed away at Abbotsford Regional Hospital while being comforted by Alma his loving wife of almost 52 years. His strong Scottish heart decided it had finished serving him. Walter was predeceased by his parents Robert and Doris, brother Bud and sister Irene. He is survived by sister-in-law Vicky, brother-in-law Lorne, nieces, nephews, cousins, his beloved 100 year old Aunt Grace and many friends especially “his girls”, Carli and Zandri, who came into his life 18 years ago. Walter was a true Gemini - sociable and outgoing. He remained young in spirit and his facial appearance belied his age even though his body reflected the years of pain endured following a serious work accident 31 years ago.

He was a Princess Pat veteran and was honourably discharged after a skiing accident on Mount Norquay.

Following recovery, he managed to join the Navy until he was found out teaching new recruits how to parade.

He was then admonished to even think about joining the Air Force. Despite everything, he managed to live a long life and always had stories to relate.

No service by request. His ashes will be later laid to rest at his hometown in Kenora, ON. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.

Love leaves a memory no on can steal.

Question: I’m fortunate to be so active in my late 80’s. I’m still driving. Do I need to make a move now?

Answer: It’s de¿nitely easier to move when you are healthy.

We have a secure underground parkade for your car or scooter.

Many people enjoy the friends (new and old) and the luxury of having someone else do the cooking and dishes!

OBITUARIES

van ARDENNE, Johan

Johan (Joe) van Ardenne late of the Abbotsford, BC passed away peacefully on March 9, 2013 at the age of 97 years.

He is survived by his sons, Joe (Sheryl) and John.

Grandsons Shaun (Linda) and Lee. Also surviving him are his two brothers in the Netherlands, Nico (Bab) and Arie (Huip).

Joe was born in 1916 in the village of Hilligersberg in the Netherlands. He grew up with 8 brothers and 4 sisters.

As he grew up he developed a love of nature and wildlife, especially birds. As a young man he was engaged as a bell ringer in a 14th century church. Joe served his apprenticeship in plumbing and became a journeyman plumber. In May 1940 war broke out in Holland, and the freedom he once enjoyed was changed to a life of restrictions, curfews, registration papers and a constant threat of concentration confinement. In 1941 he was made to work in a plant that manufactured war equipment for the German forces in Munich. Along with others, they did whatever they could to hamper and slow down the manufacturing of the war planes. From this

experience, he did however learn the welding trade in steel and aluminium. As a trustee in early 1944 he was allowed a 1 week release. Under the promise of his return he was allowed papers to go home to Holland. Instead of returning to Germany he joined the underground army of Holland and served in whatever way he was told.

In November 1946 he married Peggy den Boer. Together with their two young sons (Joe and John) they immigrated to Canada in 1954 settling in Haney. Joe worked in the construction trade for a few years and then landed a job at BC Hydro as a Gas Regulator Mechanic. He worked there until he retired in 1982. At this time they had moved to Abbotsford.

Joe took great pleasure in his later years teaching himself Paper Tole and produced many beautiful pictures that he sold all over town. He did this until he was 94. Joe had a great sense of humour and was well liked by all those he came across.

A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, March 15, 2013 at 11:30 am at the Bethel Reformed Church at 3260 Gladwin Road, Abbotsford, BC with Pastor Rom Opmeer officiating. Interment took place at Musselwhite Cemetery.
