ABBOTSFORD WEST CANDIDATES

Candidates line up on both sides of Kinder Morgan expansion

A5/7 The News continues its election coverage with profiles of the candidates running in the second of three ridings

Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

Kinder Morgan is proposing to spend $5.4 billion to expand its Trans Mountain pipeline. The proposal would triple the amount of oil running through the pipe each day, increasing it to 890,000 barrels.

Citizens and organizations have raised concerns that the expansion could pose a danger to the environment.

The pipeline runs from Alberta to Burnaby, through areas of Abbotsford.

In January 2012, a spill did occur within a contained tank area at the Sumas Mountain facility.

The Abbotsford News asked local candidates “Are you in favour of Kinder Morgan’s proposal to expand its pipeline?”

Here’s how they replied:

Mike de Jong (Liberal) said if all safety and environmental conditions are met, then he would support pipeline expansion.

Sukhi Dhami (NDP) is not in favour, calling it too risky.

Moe Gill (independent) is “not very happy” about the pipeline expansion and said he would not support it.

Stephen O’Shea (Green) is against, saying Alberta will reap the benefit while B.C. assumes all the environmental risks.

He doesn’t believe that, once the pipeline is completed, many jobs will be created.

Paul Redekopp (Conservative) supports expansion, saying it will bring needed jobs to B.C. Continued on A3

AESC and Heat cost close to $4M in 2012 Entertainment centre and hockey team continue with deficits, but AESC loss lower than previous year Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

The total deficit for the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC) and the Abbotsford Heat amounted to $3.86 million in 2012.

The recreation facility operated at a $1.97 million deficit in 2012 – about $100,000 more than the city predicted – while the city also paid nearly $2 million to the Abbotsford Heat in that year, according to the city’s consolidated financial statements which were discussed in an audit and finance committee meeting last week.

A supply-fee agreement between the Abbotsford Heat and the city has guaranteed the American Hockey League (AHL) team a breakeven revenue of $5.7 million in each year of their 10-year contract.

Any shortfall is covered by the city, which is guaranteed on the hockey club’s fiscal season.

The financial reports state the Heat cost the city $1.89 million in the 2012 calendar year, which would include portions of two different hockey seasons – the end of the 2011/12 season and the begin-

ning of the 2012/13 season last fall.

The final cost for the supply-fee agreement of the 2012/13 hockey season will be calculated this summer, after the hockey team’s season and fiscal year ends.

The deficit for the Heat was $450,000 in 2009/10, $1.37 million in 2010/11 and $1.76 million in 2011/12.

Salman Azam, director of finance for the city, said the city does not have an estimate for what it will pay the team for the 2012/13 season, but last year’s number would give an idea of what to expect.

The financial statements show that while the AESC facility operated at a loss of nearly $2 million last year, the number is less than in previous years. The facility lost $2.2 million in 2011, and close to $3 million in 2010.

The facility achieved a revenue of $2.7 million dollars, but cost $4.7 million in operations, as well as $2.5 million to pay on longterm debt.

Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman was out of town on Monday and unavailable for comment.

Auguston raises $15,000 Auguston Traditional Elementary raised $15,000 for the BC Children's Hospital in their first ever Walk-A-Thon on Thursday.

The students walked a 2.8-kilometre route around Auguston to raise money for the hospital.

The event was organized by the parent advisory committee and the Grade 5 leadership team. It was the first time the school held a walk-a-thon, and they hope to make it an annual event.

“Quite a number of our Auguston students have accessed Children’s Hospital for a number of reasons and benefitted from its incredible services” noted principal Woody Bradford. “Our school community makes a strong connection to the great work that goes on at Children’s.”

The effort was supported by Mt. Lehman IGA, the Abbotsford Police, Castle Fun Park and the Abbotsford Heat.

Lakhvinder Jhaj (NDP) said neither yes or no, rather that it would be a transformative change that would present a serious challenge.

She did say Vancouver should not be turned into an oil port.

Simon Gibson (Liberal) is willing to support it if all environmental considerations are resolved.

Preet Rai (NDP) said if an NDP government is elected it would conduct a made-in-B.C. environmental review and make a decision then. However, he added increasing the oil in the pipeline would create a “serious challenge.”

Aird Flavelle (Green) said no to the Kinder Morgan expansion plans.

Don Stahl (Conservative) is in favour, but only if Kinder Morgan upgrades its safety

equipment on its Abbotsford oil storage tanks to the satisfaction of residents in the Auguston area.

Wendy Bayles (independent) said she doesn’t support the expanded use of fossil fuels; rather money should be invested into renewable energy.

Marcus Halliday (Excalibur) said he would want a halt on any pipeline expansion until companies can research and implement better safety precautions.

Roman Bojczuk (independent) does not support the expansion, calling it an accident waiting to happen.

Patricia Smith and Kerry-Lynn Osbourne – both from the Excalibur Party – could not be reached by press deadline.

SELAMNESH IS SMILING BECAUSE OF YOU!

Michael Lovett was just 18, fresh out of high school, when he was hired to work in a lumber mill.

Within minutes of starting his job, he was pulling lumber off the green chain.

Three days later, he was assigned to do cleanup on the graveyard shift.

One of his jobs was clearing clogged bark from a conveyor. He would climb on the machine through a hand railing – seven feet up – and then step on the piles of bark while the conveyor was running.

On Nov. 9, 1999, that task went horribly wrong.

He had just finished cleaning the conveyor and turned around to jump off, when the conveyor hooked his boot, causing him to slip.

The tail-end roller caught his foot, and his leg was dragged and crushed into the

“That is more than our death toll of our soldiers in Afganistan in 10 years,” he said.

Among those fatalities were four workers under the age of 25 and four from the Fraser Valley.

Also speaking at the event were Abbotsford deputy mayor Bill MacGregor, David Murray from the Fraser Valley Labour Council and Mark DeShane of WorkSafeBC. They stressed the importance of fighting to keep workplaces safe and ensuring that those who lost their lives on the job did not do so in vain.

Several people then laid roses at the foot of a monument remembering workers who have died serving the community.

Meet the candidates

ABBOTSFORD WEST

Mike de Jong

Sukhi Dhami

Moe Gill

Paul Redekopp

Liberal (incumbent)

NDP

Independent

Conservative

oe Gill, independent candidate for Abbotsford West, says his years of experience in the Abbotsford community have helped him understand the needs of the city.

A city councillor for 16 years, Gill said he is not afraid to stand up for what is right for Abbotsford.

“As an independent, I will be the voice for the people of Abbotsford, not an echo.”

Gill, 69, grew up in India and arrived in Canada in 1955, moving to Abbotsford in 1975. That year, he and his father purchased a farm that they continue to own, growing brussels sprouts, broccoli, strawberries and raspberries. With his son and daughter grown up and moved out, Gill and his wife Jagdish have since leased out the farm and gone into retirement.

“My retirement is from farming, but not from serving the community.”

Gill continues his work as a councillor, sitting on eight different committees and volunteering with various community organizations.

Gill said a great concern for constituents is access to health care and hospital wait times.

GILL He said he hears many stories from constituents of long waits to receive medical treatment – an issue that cannot continue. Gill said when a person is sick or in pain, “You want to get something done right away. You can’t wait six to eight hours.”

Gill said the issue of transit is key to the Fraser Valley. He said people want better transit access and more options to get to Vancouver and surrounding areas.

Gill adds jobs to the list of top priorities for constituents. He said job creation is integral to the Abbotsford region, and that means bringing more light industry to the city.

The proposal to build a garbage incinerator is an issue, said Gill, as it will impact the air quality of the Fraser Valley.

He is opposed to the incinerator being built in the Lower Mainland, and if it were to be built elsewhere in the province, it must be approved by the people of that region.

He said if successful as an independent candidate, he would work with the government to represent the needs of his community.

“I am basing my platform firstly on the needs of the Abbotsford West riding… secondly, on the needs of the province.”

aul Redekopp decided to run for the Conservatives in Abbotsford West because he was tired of just talking politics with friends – he wanted to “stand up and make a difference.”

Encouraged by his wife Esther and family and friends, the 42-year-old former president of the Abbotsford West Conservative riding association decided to enter the race.

Redekopp works with the Langley Association of Community Living as residential support worker, assisting people with developmental disabilities. He REDEKOPP said he is disturbed by government budget cuts for people with disabilities and those who work with and support them. Redekopp wants to see the funding allotted for those with disabilities get to the people who need them.

When Redekopp speaks to constituents, he said one of their main concerns is the possibility of a garbage incinerator being built in the Lower Mainland.

ncumbent Michael de Jong has served as a Liberal MLA since winning the seat for Abbotsford-Mount Lehman in a 1994 byelection. In 2009, he was re-elected to the new Abbotsford West riding.

De Jong, raised on a Matsqui Prairie farm and a graduate of W.J. Mouat Secondary School, practised law in Abbotsford and served as a school trustee before being elected to the legislature. He said it has been an honour to represent the community he grew up in, and feels he can continue to support Abbotsford.

De Jong said he is proud to have played a role in local initiatives such as the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre, as well as the Campus of Care and the Discovery Trail network. He said recent upgrades to two new secondary schools, as well as gaining university status for the University of the Fraser Valley, have significant gains for education in Abbotsford. He also said improvements to the Abbotsford International Airport and the recently secured funding for the Vye Road overpass and Sumas Way widening are among substantial accomplishments made possible DE JONG by working with all levels of government and community partners.

“No one does this alone. We’ve accomplished these things as a community because we work together.”

De Jong said constituents are telling him their main concerns are about the economy – especially important in Abbotsford, which “is free enterprise country.” He said a key to helping the economy is cultivating international markets for locally produced goods and services. Looking ahead, de Jong said there needs to be a focus on transit linkages in the Fraser Valley, and on seniors’ housing and support.

De Jong was named minister of finance and government house leader in September 2012, making him the first finance minister from Abbotsford. He previously served as minister of health, public safety, aboriginals relations and reconciliation, labour, and forests, among other roles in the legislature.

De Jong said it is integral that the government shows it is a responsible steward of taxpayers’ money, saying “for people in Abbotsford, being a responsible steward means balancing the budget.”

De Jong said his experience as MLA shows his commitment to the issues that matter to Abbotsford.

“I ask (voters) to look at my record as an employee.”

S

ukhi Dhami became involved in local politics during the P3 water proposal in Abbotsford, joining the Water Watch campaign. He didn’t support the private-public partnership proposal and felt that all levels of government were not working in the interests of the public. By running as the NDP candidate for Abbotsford West, Dhami hopes to work in the interests of his community.

“I think Abbotsford is a great place, but we can bring some positive change here.”

The 28-year-old full-time farmer works for his family business, which runs Everbloom Farm Market in Abbotsford, as well as other businesses, growing shrubs, cedars, berries and vegetables. He is married to Hardeep, a teacher.

Dhami grew up in Abbotsford, graduating from W.J. Moaut Secondary School. He received a bachelor of science in biology from the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV).

Agriculture is important to the Abbotsford community, and Dhami said that while the prices of commodities are stable, the price of farming has grown. Dhami said the NDP DHAMI has pledged to increase funding to help grow, feed and buy B.C. products, and he hopes to create a more competitive market for agriculture.

Dhami said that for Abbotsford, the incinerator is an important issue and the NDP will not support anything that affects the airshed.

Dhami said addressing the issue of hospital wait times is also important to him, saying that despite Abbotsford’s new hospital, people are still forced to wait too long to receive care.

While campaigning, Dhami said he has met many young people who are home in the day due to unemployment, even though many have an education.

He said supporting skills training would help young people find work.

He also added that Abbotsford has a lot of potential to realize. He said the Abbotsford International Airport could become more prosperous with an airline that can compete with flights from the United States. He said that UFV is at 130 per cent capacity, and since Abbotsford is lucky to have a university, more should be done to support it.

Dhami stressed the importance of increasing the middle class and creating a more equitable society. “We proposed a tax increase on the wealthy two per cent that can afford it, to help the 98 per cent of British Columbians that could use more services.”

lready an active volunteer and community organizer, Stephen O’Shea decided he “could be put to better use” by running as the Green candidate in Abbotsford West. An Abbotsford resident since 1989, O’Shea said he hopes to give back in a more public way.

O’Shea has supported the Green party and its environmental policies for over 10 years, but said there is more to the platform than just environmental causes.

“We’re much closer to the centre than most people think.

We’re a free enterO’SHEA prise party first and foremost.”

O’Shea is also committed to social justice causes, saying he understands the community’s concerns about poverty, access to health care and education, and providing a sustainable future for Abbotsford.

O’Shea is known for his involvement in the Abbotsford band You Say Party. He serves as a board member of the Devon Clifford Memorial Foundation, an organization that funds music lessons for young adults who can’t afford them. He is also a lead organizer of Abbotsford’s Jam in Jubilee Festival, which provides all-ages entertainment in downtown Continued on A7

Abbotsford News Tuesday, April 30, 2013 Kerry-lynn Osbourne, the Abbotsford West candidate for the BC Excalibur Party, cites health care, the economy and education as her top priorities in the upcoming election.

The 31-year-old works with the Bethesda Christian Association, as a supportive care-giver for people with developmental disabilities. O’Shea lives in Abbotsford with his wife Becky Ninkovic, and their newborn daughter, Vera.

O’Shea said he has always been interested in politics and social justice, and decided to run after being approached by the Green party. He said the birth of his daughter made him realize the importance of working for a sustainable future.

O’Shea said Abbotsford is “a city of conservationists,” and when he speaks with residents, they say the preservation of the environment is a key issue in the upcoming election. He said the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion, gravel mining, and a possible garbage incinerator in the Fraser Valley are the top environmental issues that impact Abbotsford. O’Shea said as an MLA he would focus on balancing the economic interests of the area with protecting the environment.

“Everyone is concerned about the economy first and foremost … I think that we’re doing a good job, but I think we can do a better job without selling out the environment just to make the economy grow at all costs.”

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I Tuesday, April 30, 2013

Recycling program on right track Abbotsford’s new composting, recycling and garbage disposal program is showing significant early success.

According to a recent city report, in the first quarter of 2013, 60.5 per cent of waste was diverted – meaning placed in recycling or compost containers – compared to 33.5 per cent in the first quarter of 2012.

The city began collecting curbside compost on Jan. 1, 2013. Garbage collection was reduced to bi-weekly, while recycling pick-up remained weekly.

There was the usual expected negativity from some residents, who complained about having to separate compostables out of their garbage, or claimed that one can of non-recyclable trash every two weeks was simply not adequate.

Yet, the majority of residents seem to be coping quite well.

According to initial assessments, the highest urban compliance was in central Abbotsford at 85 per cent, and the lowest urban participation on Eagle Mountain at 70 per cent.

Those are impressive numbers for a new

program – particularly one that requires a change in longstanding domestic routines.

As a result of reduced garbage pickup, and lower disposal fees, the composting/ recycling program will save the city an estimated $316,000 relative to last year.

However, that’s an added bonus.

The much greater value of this program is the environmental benefit of diverting trash from landfills, and the re-use of resources.

It also raises serious questions about the proposed waste-to-energy incineration plant proposed by Metro Vancouver.

Negative impact to air quality aside, such a facility obviously requires material to burn – hundreds of thousands of tons of trash. Surely that must eventually reduce the impetus for increased recycling efforts, and the motivation to reduce manufacturing packaging, and find uses for materials that are currently not recyclable, such as some plastics.

The future is about reducing the garbage stream to the lowest possible level.

Abbotsford is on the right track.

Discretion, or the lack of, at the click of a mouse Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand Here we are two weeks away from a provincial election, and the BC Conservatives are only now doing a “thorough review” of their candidates!

Don’t you think they might have, during the many weeks leading up to the April 16 start of the campaign, done that already?

After all, most people, including leader John Cummins, are aware that some “conservatives” tend to have strong views on various issues.

I have also discovered that most who lean to the far right are getting on in years and, obviously to Mr. Cummins’ chagrin over departing candidates, are not overly adept at dealing with social media.

While not a BC Conservative, I have to include myself in the “not overly adept” category when it comes to so-

cial media. I have a Twitter account, and a presence on Facebook, but my use of and participation in either is at best occasional.

First of all – and anyone who knows me will attest to this – I couldn’t possibly convey anything in the 140-character (including spaces) Twitter limit.

I do know, however, how easy it can be to make, in the heat of the moment, a stupid comment.

I’ve also learned to never respond to an email after an evening of wine consumption. The potential for inflammatory or inappropriate comment is simply too great.

Emails, at least for the most part, are restricted to the sender and receiver. Twitter, Facebook and online commenting and blogs are on the world-wide web, and that should be a clue – world wide – that whatever you say is accessible to anyone with a computer.

And when you are a wanna-be in politics you have to, and you must have been, circumspect in your comments because no matter which party you represent, someone will be tasked to scour all sources to find a crack in

your armour or a comment that you originally thought was “just funny” rather than a political career-ender.

Since the BC Conservatives have decided to rescreen their remaining candidates, it means there is potential for others to join the four already dismissed.

I do know, however, how easy it can be to make, in the heat of the moment, a stupid comment.

That party is not alone, however, as the NDP recently dumped a candidate in the Okanagan, and you can bet everyone else in the political game is again sifting through candidate profiles and backgrounds to circumvent fall-out for electronically published dirt or indiscretions.

Fortunately, the printed word in a newspaper has to pass by a number

of eyes and minds before it reaches the public, avoiding for the most part those “oh, crap” moments that can occur after hitting the send button on computer or phone.

Even then, there is the occasional oops in print and after writing this column for more than 370 consecutive weeks, and many hundreds more over 25 years from the 1970s to the 1990s, I know that when you try to be provocative, it happens now and then.

Fortunately for me, access to my columns of decades ago is available only through the dusty archives of a museum rather than instant on the desktop through Google. So, if there is what may now be considered a politically incorrect comment within any of my musings, some poor researcher will, instead of at the click of a mouse, have to laboriously read through a hell of a lot of old, large and probably musty newspapers.

Then again, since I’m not running for office, who would bother, or for that matter, care about my opinions, be they right or wrong (or in the centre). markrushton@abbynews.com

letters Blueberry cannons are a huge concern Being that we live across from a blueberry farm, the cannon issue is a huge concern.

Each year this particular farm seems to add more cannons and they go off with more frequency with a total disregard of the local residents and their animals.

I came home from work last year and upon stepping out of my truck, I was greeted by the sound of a cannon. For the next three hours, there was no more than a 45-second interval between the cannon blasts.

As this continued on for months, seven days a week, I would compare this to living in a war zone. I also own

However, if I subjected my staff and my business neighbours to this type of noise barrage, I would be warned, fined or subjected to further sanctions.

Again, I respect the fact that these farms need to make a profit, but there has to be some kind of correction, as this situation gets worse every year.

Car seat checks result in 65 tickets

The Abbotsford Police Department stopped more than 5,000 vehicles during its recent Buckle Your Babies campaign.

Const. Ian MacDonald said approximately 650 car and booster seats were inspected during the twoweek campaign, which began April 10, resulting in 65 violation tickets being issued.

During the six checkpoints set up at various times and locations around the city, police were checking to ensure that kids were in the ap-

BSC, DDS, FRCD(C), FCDS(BC) SPECIALIST IN ORHTODONTICS & DENTOFACIAL ORTHOPEDICS A native of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Dr. Vishal Sharma is the visionary behind Aura Orthodontics.

Growing up, Dr. Sharma was always scholastically adept – he balanced academic pursuits with a love for basketball and community involvement.

After attaining his Bachelor of Science Degree at the University of British Columbia, he pursued dentistry and an orthodontics specialty at New York University in New York City, where he graduated with Honours.

propriate car seat for their age and weight and that they were properly buckled in.

He said there were several cases where, although the child was buckled into the seat, the seat wasn’t secured to the car. In other cases, the bottom of the seat was buckled in, but the top wasn’t. In still other situations, no car seat was used at all.

MacDonald said Buckle Your Babies was staged mainly to educate parents about proper car seat use.

Dr. Sharma enjoys rapport building with patients and their families, and believes they are partners in reaching their orthodontic goals. His expertise includes all types of braces, including Invisalign, clear braces, and lingual braces and a specialty in Dentofacial Orthopedics. He also is an orthodontic faculty member in the Department of Orthodontics at the University of British Columbia, where he teaches third and fourth year dental students about new techniques, and how to use these

techniques to achieve optimal results for patients.

Dr. Sharma’s philosophy revolves around a total dedication to individualized patient attention and care, evident in the initial diagnosis and treatment plan formulation as well as every office visit. He is a firm believer in community involvement and takes the time to do outreach with the community in the form of educational articles in local print media and the sponsorship of various cultural events.

Question: I have noticed that my skin is looking dull and I have some sun spots that have appeared. What can I do?

Susan, Abbotsford

When he is not treating patients or teaching dental students, he can be found volunteering within the community, travelling, hiking, playing basketball, frequenting local beaches, and spending time with his family, especially his brothers.

Answer: Over the years sun damage causes us to have broken capillaries and sun spots which can make us look 10 years older. We have various ways to improve skin texture and tone. We can start by using a combination of physician grade treatment products which include Vitamin A, hydroquinone and sunblock as well as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). Usually 3 - 5 treatments are necessary.

If you are interested in a more aggressive treatment we can combine physician grade products, IPL and Fraxel laser – the combination will enhance each others results.

You will need to continue protecting yourself from the sun and use sunblocks, hats and sunglasses to maintain the results.

Two more candidates in Abbotsford South

Kevin MILLS

Abbotsford News

There is a pair of new candidates running in Abbotsford South.

Steve Finlay, a 56-year-old marketing manager from Surrey, will run for the Marijuana Party, to raise public awareness of drug prohibition and its consequences.

“It is generally believed that drug prohibition is achieving certain objectives, when in fact, it doesn’t. And in fact it tends to work the other way,” said Finlay.

Finlay said he doesn’t smoke mari-

juana.

“The main issue is not the drug; it’s the prohibition policy,” he said.

He feels the public’s perception on drug prohibition is changing and by creating debate he hopes to speed up that change.

The fifth and final candidate challenging for the seat in Abbotsford South is Patricia Smith, who filed her paperwork just before Friday’s deadline. She is running for the Excalibur Party, a new entity that was created in March. She could not be reached by press deadline.

Frank Frandsen, bakery manager for PriceSmart foods, has a laugh as he gets his head shaved by Sheena from Salon Picasso last Friday. He was among a number of PriceSmart staff members who had their heads shaved to raise funds for the BC Cancer Foundation. Cash was also raised through other activities, including a hot dog sale, customer donations, and a Canucks jersey raffle. In total, PriceSmart employees in Abbotsford raised more than $5,200.

We would like to congratulate Quantum Properties on completing such an amazing project!

Rooted in history yet thoroughly modern, Pioneer Square is poised to Diane Delves become President and CEO Quantum Properties one of Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most unique developments.

Construction is nearly complete on the 20,000-squarefoot, three-storey commercial facility, and the building cuts a striking profile at the northeast corner of Essendene and Gladys avenues.

The exterior brickwork lends a heritage feel, while the curved glass windows at the most prominent corner facing the intersection, add a contemporary flair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great looking building,â&#x20AC;? said Diane Delves, president and CEO of Quantum Properties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get a lot of compliments on it.â&#x20AC;?

Quantum Properties oversaw the construction of the facility on a design-build contract for Dr. Brian Wiebe, with Points West Architecture handling the design.

The buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage theme extends to its name. In the process of development, Delves and her Quantum colleagues discovered that the lot was once the site of the Pioneer Store, a downtown landmark many decades ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came across some photos at The Reach Gallery,â&#x20AC;? explained Delves, who intends to purchase the rights to the vintage photos and

contemporary

Ample parking – a rare commodity in the downtown core – is one of Pioneer Square’s most appealing features. In addition to a ground-level lot, there is a full underground parkade.

Construction is almost finished, and the next step is tenant improvements to the interior. In a couple months’ time, the building will be open for business.

“This is a new landmark for

Abbotsford,” Delves said. “It’s a high-profile corner which is only increasing in importance with the further development happening south on Gladys.”

Pioneer Square is just one of Quantum Properties’ current projects. Perhaps their most high-profile undertaking is the Mahogany at Mill Lake – a 26-storey mixed-use structure which will become Abbotsford’s tallest building. The facility

will feature residential units and office space, and Delves hopes to begin construction this summer. She estimates it will take 18 months to complete, and 40 per cent of the units have already been sold.

“It’s a vote of confidence that we have so many sales,” she said, noting that a pharmacy and a medical clinic are among the confirmed tenants for the commercial area.

“It’s the only commercial space that’s within walking distance of the new hospital.

We’ll have a lot of doctors and medical professionals interested in that space.”

Additionally, Brooklyn Condominiums – a project at Gladwin and Maclure roads that Quantum Properties took over after the initial development stalled – is the only new condo complex in Abbotsford, and 25 units are still available.

Quantum also hopes to begin construction this year on Abacus Uptown, a 90-unit condo facility at Essendene and Campbell avenues.

PIONEER SQUARE Good fit for Aldergrove Credit Union Aldergrove Credit Union’s sixth branch will anchor the new Pioneer Square development.

The communitybased credit union, which has proudly served Langley, Aldergrove, Gus Hartl, CEO Abbotsford Aldergrove Credit Union and Mission since 1954, was looking to expand its footprint in Abbotsford alongside existing branches in Mt. Lehman Centre to the west and Matsqui to the north.

Gus Hartl, CEO of Aldergrove Credit Union, explained that the new branch is a good fit for the bank based on strong membership in east Abbotsford.

“This will be a great location for ACU given the high traffic volumes which travel Gladys Ave. as a direct route to Mission and Essendene to east Abbotsford,” Hartl said.

“The building, being three storeys, gives tremendous exposure and prominence from all sides. The heritage design really gives the building a professional look and feel and still fits into the overall downtown theme.”

Aldergrove Credit Union has more

than $530 million in assets, 130 staff and approximately 19,000 members. The organization operates five branches, four insurance offices, and a financial planning office. For more information, visit www.aldergrovecu.ca.

‘Always an opportunity to ABBOTSFORD / MISSION be involved in sports’ GRADUATES

From A20

captain of the Canadian national rugby team who was inducted into the local sports shrine this past Saturday, along with rope skipping coach Deirdre DeGagné.

“I’ve got my jerseys, my cap, clippings, posters on display. To be able to stand in front of that and to have generations be able to see it, it was really emotional.”

For Banks, his induction sparked a trip down memory lane. He emerged with a particular gratitude for Jack Hendry and George Keys, his coaches at Abbotsford Senior who he said “dragged me out and got me interested in rugby.”

Banks, as a high schooler, was more interested in football and dreamed of a career in the CFL. Hendry and Keys found ways to keep him involved in rugby, even though he had a scholarship lined up to play football at SFU. “The moment that kind of solidified everything was in Grade 11, in 1988,” he said. “We toured England and Wales, won all our games, and then we came back from that tour and won the provincial championship.”

After graduating from Abby Senior and playing linebacker for four years with the SFU football team, Banks returned to rugby.

He would go on to play one season professionally in England with the Bedford Blues, and represented Canada at two World Cups – in 1999 in the United Kingdom/France, and in 2003 in Australia.

Banks played 14 seasons with the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club, and he’s also a member of that city’s sports hall of fame. But being welcomed into his hometown hall is special to him.

“Abby has always had a great sports legacy, and a very supportive community around it,” said Banks, 41, who currently lives in Coquitlam and works in software development. “There was always an opportunity to be involved in sports.”

Hawks sweep to district track title The W.J. Mouat Hawks stole the show at the AbbyMission district track and field championships last week at Rotary Stadium.

The Hawks won all four aggregate division titles they were involved in â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â senior girls, senior boys, junior girls and junior boys â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â en route to the overall meet championship.

Mouat racked up 995 points in all, out-distancing Abbotsford Christian Secondary (636), Yale (323), MEI (219) and Mission (164).

Leading the way for the Hawks were a trio of elite girls. Alex Siemens (800 metres, 1500m, 3000m) and Hailey Gibson (100m, 200m, shot put) won

all three events they entered in the senior division, while Callum Pilgrim was a triple medallist in the junior category, winning the 1500m and 3000m and finishing second in the 800m.

Abbotsford Christian also enjoyed a terrific collective performance, finishing second to Mouat in three categories â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â junior boys, junior girls and senior girls.

On the Grade 8 scene, Abby Christian and MEI won the girls and boys divisions, respectively, and the Eagles claimed the overall title, outpointing Knights 460-341.

Cutest Pets Ever!

Funny, cute and LOVABLE.

Meet local businesses dedicated to helping you take GREAT CARE of your pets!

Do you have a finicky pet? is treated like a personality disorder in pets and it’s usually the furthest from the truth.

PET FOOD & SUPPLY

PURCHASE 2 CANS OF PETCUREAN PET FOOD & RECEIVE THE THIRD OF EQUAL OR LESSER VALUE FOR

Many of these pets follow the same pattern. Eat good one day and poorly for the next few, they eat excessive grass, can be gassy etc. etc. So often people try a new food and the pet likes it for a week or two and then won’t even look at it. Sometimes these pets can be prone to issues like yeast infections, poor coats, dry itchy skin among others.

Propane “We Cater to Your Critters”

So what can we do? First remove the finicky label! Next we need to support the digestion and Immunity. We need to kick start your pets system. Digestive enzymes, pre and probiotics are a must (especially if your pet has been on any antibiotic recently) and can be found in many quality pet supplements. Tripe and pumpkin are really good tummy settlers. Smaller food portions can

work wonders as well. Instead of two cups all at once try two or three smaller meals. This gives them a chance to digest a little at a time. Slow feed bowls and balls can help with pacing your pets eating. And as always take the time to pick a quality pet food.

Read labels like you would if you had to eat it everyday every meal. No bi-product, no chemical preservatives are a good place to start.

• A cat can jump as much as seven times its height.

• Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds, while dogs only have about ten.

• Cats have better memories than dogs.

• A pack of kittens is called a kindle, while a pack of adult cats is called a clowder.

• A cat’s tongue is scratchy because it’s lined with papillae— tiny elevated backwards hooks that help to hold prey in place.

• Cats do not have sweat glands.

• The nose pad of each cat has ridges in a unique pattern not unlike a person’s fingerprints.

• Cats’ bodies are extremely flexible; the cat skeleton contains more than 230 bones (a human has about 206), and the pelvis and shoulders loosely attach to the spine.

This adds to their flexibility and allows them to fit through very small spaces.

KROPP, Frederick (Ted)

CUTHBERT, Laurel E. (O’Byrne) January 23, 1934 - April 19, 2013

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Laurel. She was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and passed away in Abbotsford. Laurel was a loving wife of 58 years, devoted mother and friend and is survived by her husband Gerald, children Catherine (Dennis), David, Lorne and Maureen; grandsons Jesse and Austin (Mandy); her brother Garnet.

Laurel will be greatly missed by her sister-in-law Dorothy (Bernie), brothers-in-law Grant and Del and other relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her parents, sister Marjorie(Gaskell) and nephew James.

A memorial for Laurel will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers a donation to the charity of your choice would be appreciated.

Online condolences to the family may be made to: www.wiebeandjeskefh.com

Wiebe & Jeske 604.859.5885 SPENCE, Hugh There will be a Celebration of Life for Hugh Spence at 2pm on Saturday, May 4th at Hole In The Wall, 3807 Eldridge Rd, Abbotsford.

Ted was born in Leduc, Alberta on August 4, 1932 and died peacefully in the Palliative Care Unit of the Abbotsford Regional Hospital on April 23, 2013.

He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Arlene; his children: Douglas, Randy (Colleen), and Shari (Mark); his grandchildren; Noah, Maya, James and Erin; his sister June Rasch; his brother and sister-in-law, Larry and Liz Dill; his niece, Michelle (Brian) and nephew Stewart (Judy).

His presence will be deeply missed by his family and friends.

Ted, an ordained United Church minister was the first Protestant Chaplain at the Matsqui Prison. He later transfered to the Mission Institution and was in prison ministry for 24 years.

Special thanks to Dr. G. Collingridge, and the doctors and nurses and ARH for their care and concern.

A Celebration of Life for family and Ted’s close friends will be held at a later date.

In memory of Ted, donations may be made to: First United Church, 320 E. Hastings Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6A 1P4. “ And in the end It’s not the years in your life that count, It’s the life in your years” A.L.

SWARD, George With heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of George Sward on April 10, 2013. Born in Abbotsford to a Matsqui pioneering family on May 3, 1934, George was raised in Matsqui and later lived in Oregon, California, Hope and Mission. George often regaled family and friends with stories of growing up on Matsqui prairie, watching the war planes fly overhead as a youth, seeing snow drifts up to the phone lines and of watching the family farm in Hatzic float away in the flood of ‘48.

George was a hunter, fisherman, gardener, outdoorsman, heavy duty mechanic and, most importantly, a husband and a father. He lived a long and happy life surrounded by good friends, remarkable experiences and great stories.

He never shied away from hard work and spent much of his life working on projects that included the Coquihalla Highway, the Wolverine Tunnel and the Carmen Smith Tunnel in Oregon. He was a wealth of information about family genealogy, Matsqui history and anything to do with airplanes, engines or WWII. George is survived by his wife of 58 years, Phyllis, sons Joe (Gaynor) and Tim (Kris), and grandchildren Max, Winston, Peter, Timmy, Tristin and Sierra. Also left to mourn are his brothers Don (Judy) and Wayne (Estella) as well as a large extended family and a huge collection of cherished friends. A celebration of life will be held at the Ridgedale Rod and Gun Club (35655 Harris Road, Abbotsford) on Saturday, May 25th, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. Messages of condolence can also be sent to remembergeorge@sward.pw In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the MS Society of Canada or to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre.
