CULPRITS IDENTIFIED
Abbotsford News
An Abbotsford teacher has been charged with sexual offences involving an underage girl. Tanner Cervo, 37, who previously taught at Chief Dan George Middle School, has been charged with one count of sexual interference, one count of sex assault, and two counts of sexual exploitation. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said the charges were sworn in court on April 17, following an investigation that began in August 2012. He said the alleged offences involve one girl, and police did not find any other complainants during their investigation. MacDonald could not release further information, due to a publication ban on details that could potentially identify the alleged victim. According to the website for the B.C. Ministry of Education’s Teacher Regulation Branch, Cervo has been suspended from teaching because he “presents a risk to children.” Kevin Godden, superintendent of the Abbotsford school district, confirmed in a written statement that although Cervo is a district employee, he is not currently working in a school and has not been since the start of the school year. He said the district responded quickly when it first became aware in August 2012 of the allegations against Cervo. “We are deeply concerned about these allegations Continued on A3

Cars racing on street impounded Two young male drivers had their cars impounded on Wednesday night after they were caught street racing in west Abbotsford. Const. Ian MacDonald said an officer was near Mt. Lehman Road and Great Northern Avenue when he saw two Hondas driving side by side at speeds estimated between 130 and 150 km/hr. The vehicles were headed north, and the officer alerted another officer in the area. MacDonald said the two cops lost sight of the Hondas but came across them on Mt. Lehman Road near Peardonville Road, where one of the cars had crashed into a ditch. The driver had only his “N” designation and was in his parents’ car. He was not seriously injured. The two Abbotsford men, both 20, were ticketed for excessive speeding and driving without due care, and vehicles were impounded for seven days.

Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford Farm and Country Market provides more than local produce and artisan products – it creates a sense of community and connectedness in Abbotsford’s downtown. Organizers are currently seeking new volunteers for the market, which runs 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday on Montrose Avenue at George Ferguson Way. Bruce Fatkin, the market manager, said people come for the local produce but stay for the sense of community, explaining that they have a dedicated group of volunteers, but are looking for more. “We can be really flexible on how much people want to participate.” Fatkin said they need volunteers to help with the early morning set-up, the information table – handing out fliers and answering questions – and managing social media accounts. The market has grown in recent years, which
Fatkin said has increased the variety of vendors and brought in a dedicated group of visitors, usually about 1,200 to 1,300 each Saturday. “The market is all about connecting local citizens with local food.” Vendors sell locally grown and organic produce, as well as made-in-B.C. jams, jewelry, artisan cheeses and breads, meat and eggs, and more. Gwen Settle, treasurer and market ambassador, said vendors are knowledgeable and can provide advice on how to use their produce and products. The market will kick off its summer season on Saturday, May 11, marking its 10th year of operation in Abbotsford’s downtown. The market starts at 9 a.m. and the celebration begins at 11 a.m. with special guests, cake, a Mother’s Day surprise, and more. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Bruce Fatkin at 604-996-1542. For more information, visit www.abbotsfordfarmandcountrymarket.com, or their Facebook page.

Tim Bachman acquitted Accused of sex offences against former foster child Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
One of the cofounders of the iconic Canadian rock band BTO (BachmanTurner Overdrive) was acquitted last Wednesday of sexually abusing a foster child more than a decade ago. Tim Bachman, 59, was charged in June 2010 with sexual assault, touching a young person for a sexual purpose, and sexual interference of a young person under 14. The charges relate to a period from 2000 to 2004, when the complainant, Stacy Bohun, was 11 to 14 years old and was living with the Bachman family in Abbotsford. Justice Neill Brown, speaking in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, said he found too many inconsistencies in Bohun’s testimony and the evidence wasn’t sufficient enough for a criminal conviction. However, he described Bohun as mature, poised and wellspoken on the stand, and said he did not believe she was a “deliberately unreliable witness.” Brown said Bohun’s past history of drug abuse – she was addicted to crystal meth, but is now clean – might have contributed to issues with her memory. A key piece of evidence from the Crown was testimony from Bohun’s counsellor regarding a statement Bachman made after Bohun had disclosed the alleged abuse to her. The therapist contacted Bachman about the accusations. He then came to her office,
where he allegedly to acquit Bachman. blurted out, “I touched Bohun, who requesther.

Speaking outside of the courthouse following Wednesday’s verdict, Bohun, now 24, said that, overall, she was pleased with what the judge had to say, despite the acquittal. “I felt like he understood where I was coming from as a victim.” She said she now plans “to close the book” on the issue and move forward with her life.

who was in Canada on a work visa, on separate occasions when they came to the temple seeking solace from issues with their boyfriends. Over time, they both established a friendship with Vir, which included socializing outside of the temple and late-night phone conversations. Both girls said they held Vir in high regard as a priest and did not view him in a romantic or sexual way. They said all the sexual incidents occurred in the temple, where Vir’s living quarters were located. Both girls said Vir forcefully kissed them and groped them. One said he pushed her down on the bed on one occasion and tried to have sex with her. Both girls said they pushed Vir away and told him to stop on every occasion, but they continued to visit him because of his role in the temple. “They sought his counsel. He gave it, and they found it helpful so they continued to seek it,� Brown said. The allegations were brought to Abbotsford Police by other members of the temple, and Vir was charged in November 2010. Following his conviction, Vir’s bail was revoked and he will now remain in custody while he awaits sentencing, which has been scheduled for Aug. 14. He also faces charges in Ontario in relation to allegations that he threatened his former wife, and charges in Abbotsford for assault and uttering threats.

CANDIDATES’ KEY ISSUES: Abbotsford West
The News invited candidates to identify their key local and provincial issues, and outline what they would do to address them if elected. Read the full versions of their responses online at abbynews.com. Michael de Jong Liberal (incumbent)

During that time we’ve accomplished a s a candidate in Abbotsford West, I feel that the proposed garbage incinerator is one of the main issues discussed at the doorstep. As a New Democrat, I will not support any sort of project that may harm the Abbotsford airshed. Instead, the province should be working with local governments to make sure that maximum diversion rates are achieved. Another major concern identified at the doorstep is the possibility of new pipelines. The BC Liberals failed the residents of British Columbia by handing over decision-making power in the Enbridge decision to Ottawa in 2010. If elected, we will withdraw from the

be done: T Inter-city transit improvements T Seniors housing and support T Working with business to develop international markets for the goods and services we produce right here in Abbotsford – aerospace innovation, agri-food products, educational technology T A new justice centre Issues across B.C. are the same as those here in Abbotsford – a strong economy, balanced budgets, jobs creation and the belief that taxation must be held in check. The prosperity we have enjoyed for the past 12 years would not have occurred without those principles. Nor will it continue if those principles are abandoned by
an NDP government. British Columbia is blessed with an abundance of natural resources and our future prosperity depends on getting those products, developed under the highest environment standards, to market. In order for that to occur we must plan ahead. In order to create long-term, family-supporting jobs, we must encourage investment and create the economic climate that develops confidence in the business place. To create markets for our products we will continue to expand upon the already well-developed trade relations we have established with Asia-Pacific nations such as China, India, Japan and Korea.
portunities for young people is also a recurring concern on the doorstep. The average student loan debt in B.C. is $27,000, which is a factor in the decision-making process for considering post-secondary education. That’s why an NDP government is focusing on skills training and a student grant program which will help young people achieve their educational goals without incurring massive amounts of student loan debt. In rural parts of the riding, agricultural sustainability is a growing concern. Over the last few decades, the prices of the commodities have stayed relatively static, as the cost of farming
has increased dramatically. Hence, that is why I believe we are losing diversity in crops and seeing a lot of blueberries being planted. New Democrats are proposing a plan to address this issue with a ‘Buy BC, Grow BC, Feed BC’ program. Prudent economic development, the BC NDP will create a competitive edge for small businesses by introducing a “Local Business First” policy and is committed to; not increasing small business taxes. Maximizing local and regional benefits from government infrastructure investments by expanding project agreements on publicly funded construction projects.

I have the experience to solve and I have the political and practi-
cal experience to get things done in Victoria. Outside of Abbotsford, people face the same issues. Honesty and integrity are gone and so people have no faith in anything the government says. A jobs plan that fails, a budget that isn’t met, debt out of control, health care and education declining despite more money being thrown at them. This is because parties and politicians have stopped governing and are always campaigning. They don’t realize the party is over. I do. I want to go to Victoria and get to work on all these issues, and many more.
M
this prospect is far from unlikely. I will continue to fight social justice issues such as poverty, racism and gender inequality. I want to work with all levels of government and local agencies to ensure we’re caring for anyone falling through our social safety net. For too long now, we’ve been content to let these problems work themselves out. But they won’t, not until we address the root causes of these injustices, and those causes are systemic as much as they are individual. Health care, education and our economy are important factors as Abbotsford moves toward urbanization. We’re faced with having to grow upwards instead of outwards. I will work to ensure that as
density increases, residents continue to have access to high quality healthcare and education. Part of our strategy for development is to encourage a more locally based
economy, helping to enable residents of Abbotsford to live and work in their city We have the opportunity to shift to a green economy; creating green jobs, strong local economies and an educated workforce. As more people are forced to struggle longer and harder only to be deprived of the basic gains that their parents made in the last generation – owning a home, a decent pension, the ability to provide their children with higher education – we’re starting to wake up. We’re starting to rumble and say this is not what we want. We want to live in mindful, sustainable communities. We want to support equal educational opportunities and access to health care.
expensive new social programs but NDP opposition to developing B.C.’s resource economy will strangle funding needed to pay for core programs, let alone new ones. These tired old tactics will replay precisely what killed our economy when the NDP was last in power. In contrast, BC Conservatives are committed to reducing the cost of government and to reducing the footprint of government on taxpayers’ backs. We are committed to sustained, environmentally responsible, industrial, commercial and resource growth. Key issues for B.C. voters include a lack of trust in professional politicians, followed by concern at the lack of finan-
cial responsibility and accountability by the same! Despite NDP and Liberals claim to support transparency, their track record is clear! The NDP failed to balance the budget repeatedly, and were then caught lying about it. They also discouraged business growth and investment. Liberal premier Campbell promised the most transparent government in Canada. There was no transparency about backroom deals over BC Rail and little accountability over the confiscation of $677 million worth of ICBC premiums to cover Liberal deficits. BC Conservatives are a grassroots movement committed to recreating trust through accountability and fiscal re-
here are two kinds of election issues in Abbotsford West. The first kind is made up of the issues we are used to hearing about. The economy and jobs. Abbotsford led the nation in unemployment for many months last year and when you add to that our low average income, we need to start focusing on attracting investment that will bring high-paying jobs. We see the current government spending millions of tax dollars throughout Abbotsford, and virtually none of it will generate a long-term benefit to the local economy. The second kind of issue is one of honesty and integrity. We’ve been misy top three priorities are the environment, social justice and urban renewal. I will work to protect the Agricultural Land Reserve from the continuing encroachment of suburban sprawl. We need to anticipate the needs of our ever-growing population; densification of the city centre will help to accomplish that. I will fight Metro Vancouver waste-toenergy plans in order to protect the Fraser Valley’s airshed. I oppose expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline through Abbotsford and the rest of the province that will increase our chances of environmental disaster should the pipeline leak. Given the track record of such projects,
K
ey issues for Abbotsford residents include reducing the burden of government debt, worthwhile employment, transportation and protecting our fragile air shed. Parents want to ensure children’s needs are met in accordance with parental values. Families want to know a first class health care system will be in place when they need it most. B.C. is the only jurisdiction in Canada with a carbon tax – regressive tax on everything. We are expected to trust a government which confiscates ICBC premiums, to collect a carbon tax on fuel, then redistribute our money. Adrian Dix announced millions of dollars in

the economy, and education are at the top of the list. Our health care is one of the major concerns. Although hospitals, drugs and doctors’ services account for the largest share of our health dollars, we are also faced with an aging population which calls for more health care providers. With the high cost of drugs, the Excalibur party will work towards the right for people to make their own health care choices.... be it to visit a certified alternate health practitioner or to choose natural remedies and alternative health treatments, such as acupuncture. We need more nurses in our hospitals to
provide more care to our patients. The BC Excalibur Party will work towards eliminating hospital waiting lists. There is a need for a program that will cover limited dental and eye care for those not covered by private medical plans. We need an alternate health plan to cover medical bills for alternate medical care, such as naturopathy, homeopathy, chiropractors, etc. Our elementary, middle and high schools classes should be supplied with regular teachers’ aides to help teachers monitor classroom activity and assist the teacher. We need affordable education for our skilled labourers, provide financial help with home-schooling and distance educa-
tion, and set up an educational program for teen parents so they could continue to further their education. Our homeless, affordable housing, the transit system, environmental concerns,and the unemployed are all major concerns which must be addressed. If I am elected I will try my best to give to the people all which my party is aiming for. I will work for the people – work towards protecting their right to make their own health care choices, affordable education, provide financial help with homeschooling and distance education, and set up a program for teen parents so they could continue to further their education.
CANDIDATES’ KEY ISSUES: Abbotsford South
griculture, agri-business, the small business sector and the overall economy: I support keeping business competitive to help reduce the impact of cross border shopping. For example, I voted against Family Day because of the increased costs. Agriculture and agri-business are a big part of the Abbotsford economy and need the kind of specialized knowledge that I offer. I was a key player in stopping the SE2 power plant some years ago. I pledge to continue to fight the incinerator and ensure that air quality in the Fraser Valley is protected. For too long, funding for FHA has not kept up with population growth. I have
John van Dongen Independent (incumbent) Age: 63 Education: Bachelor of Science VAN DONGEN Occupation: MLA, farmer Residency: Abbotsford been an active voice on this issue and will continue to push for proper funding of our Abbotsford hospital and better mental health and addiction programs.
Funding for the University of the Fraser Valley in order to match the cumulative increase in the number of students enrolled at the Abbotsford campus. Overall funding for our university needs to reflect the actual total student numbers and I pledge to fight for that. A new courthouse in Abbotsford is a high priority. British Columbians deserve to have a government that is accountable for the decisions it makes. I have demonstrated that I will ask the tough questions and take action on the issues. Strong fiscal management and spending control. A strong economy to keep people working. We need to foster an attractive
investment climate by keeping taxes reasonable. The carbon tax should be eliminated. Active and effective leadership in growing the resource industries – agriculture and agri-foods, fisheries, forestry, mining, oil and gas.
Better support for people living with mental illness and those struggling with addictions. Strong commitment to a sustainable environment that is supported by effective regulation and full evaluation of new projects. Improvements to our justice system to ensure that people have timely access to justice.

erhaps the most frequent issue that people want to talk with me about is the rising cost of government services and their concern that the government will raise taxes and borrow money to pay for these services. The reality is that we simply do not have the money to pay for the current demand on government services. Whether you are talking about health care, social services, transportation, infrastructure needs, criminal justice, or education, we can expect that the costs to deliver these services will continue to rise. So, the fear is that the only options available to us are to raise taxes and introduce user fees,

our existing provincial debt. However, there is another choice that we can make to provide world-class services to British Columbians without raising taxes or borrowing more money. First, we can spend our money smarter by utilizing more effective and efficient methods to deliver government services. Second, we can substantially strengthen our economy, in part through the trilliondollar liquefied natural gas opportunity as one part of a broader resource development policy. This approach would create jobs, spark secondary industries, provide billions of dollars to pay for government services, and have a tremendously beneficial
and positive impact on our environment. In short, it’s about getting tax dollars from British Columbia’s rich natural resources, instead of from your pockets. To ensure that your tax dollars are spent wisely and prudently, you need a strong and determined voice in Victoria. You deserve a leader who is committed to protecting your interests and your future. You deserve people in office who make decisions based on facts and evidence, and you should expect that your government function openly and transparently. Most importantly, you deserve representatives who are honest and accountable to you. You can count on me to be one of those people.

No one worked harder or more successfully on behalf of their students than Darryl Plecas. I am certain that as an MLA he will work every bit as hard and successfully on behalf of his constituents, the Fraser Valley, and British Columbia”
Dr. Skip Bassford President Emeritus, University of the Fraser Valley
“
I have known Darryl for nearly 20 years, as a respected faculty member, inspirational teacher and supportive colleague. He is a perfect mix of smarts, common sense, courage, humility, and never ending generosity. He gives freely of his time and his resources. His constant encouragement — especially when the chips were down — helped me immensely. What emerged from our collective work has led to meaningful advocacy work that continues to this day.”
Catherine Dawson Abbotsford Consultant
“
As Darryl’s accountant and former business partner for 17 years, I found Darryl to be one of the most creative, dedicated businessmen I have met. I saw our small business flourish from an idea to a highly successful international company. I am proud to stand behind Darryl and Today’s BC Liberals.”
Ken Wiebe CGA (Retired)

Knowing Darryl from my work on the Abbotsford Police Board, I saw firsthand how highly influential he was in reducing crime in Abbotsford and British Columbia. He exemplifies a strong, yet respectful leader, and he gets the job done. Abbotsford needs his determined and effective voice in Victoria.”
Karen Matty Principal, Matsqui Land Corporation

Darryl’s education, public service, background in public safety and criminal justice, and strong leadership skills convinced me to leave the NDP — despite being a member for 25+ years — in favour of supporting him and Today’s BC Liberals. If you have any doubts, read his resume at DarrylPlecas.ca”

I have known Darryl for over 30 years. For him, economics isn’t something abstract; it’s intuitive. For him, sound governance and sound fiscal policy are two sides of the same coin. The people of Abbotsford and everyone else in British Columbia will be fortunate to have him in office.”

e cannot ignore the fact that the present government is running a deficit. As a current auditor for the ministry of finance, I understand budgets and fiscal responsibility. The NDP will use the money that is available more wisely for the future benefit of all British Columbians. The NDP will be up front about what they will spend money on and how they will do it.

over the loss of their maternity ward and some medical specialists. Education – I know as a father of three
children and as a school trustee that a strong education system is the key to future economic growth. While I am confident that B.C. schools are doing the best they can for our children, the erosion of the educational system in the past decade has resulted in overcrowded classrooms, too few resources and cuts to special needs programs. BC NDP leader Adrian Dix announced a commitment to a long term investment of $100-million to skills training and to student grants to increase the affordability and accessibility of post secondary education so that our children have the skills for the future. Local economy – We must encourage our residents to spend more money in our local
economy. The NDP’s Feed BC program will put healthy, locally grown food on the plates of patients in BC hospitals and long-term facilities to improve diets and health outcomes. We must encourage small business, address the issue of cross border shopping, and create local jobs through skills and apprenticeship training. Other residents’ concerns include: Gravel extraction – (I believe there can be a balance between economic growth, environmental concerns and the impact on neighbourhoods). Environmental concerns about air quality and First Nations concerns over fish habitats. We must think of our future.
If elected MLA for Abbotsford-Mission, I commit to working hard to ensure that absolutely nothing proceeds without the full involvement of Fraser Valley Regional District and that the province become much more active in the process for the good of the entire region. In both communities the dramatic growth of grow-ops as well as the licensed – but seemingly unregulated – medical facilities. The social fabric of the community is being affected which means a higher crime rate and social challenges for many young adults. If elected, I would offer to lead a community-based team of police, municipal,
social agencies and others to develop a broad-based approach to address the issues with the view to reducing addictions and corresponding crime. UFV cannot accept all qualified students and many are being turned away. Within the constraints of our balanced budget, I would seek ways to provide more educational opportunities for our talented young people. Health care allocation of funding for our region As MLA, I would work with Fraser Health and the community to develop an equitable formula for health care funding, without substantially increasing the overall health budget.
A vibrant and stable economy with prudent spending emphasizing health care, education and services for families and seniors I would encourage the government to “stay the course” and continue with its balanced budget approach with the endorsement of national and international investment analysts. Our young people will need career opportunities. Our party is committed to continuing to grow the economy with a welcoming investment climate to ensure there are quality jobs for the future. The BC Jobs Plan is a strategic approach which I enthusiastically endorse.

BC Conservatives have announced a variety of specific initiatives to restore

passing grade? It does not meet the needs of individual learners and it does not prepare our kids for the job realities they will face. One out of five kids will not graduate from high school. If you are semantic learner who wants a job in the old economy, you are in luck. If you learn differently, or if you aspire to work in the trades or the arts, then you are probably out of luck. We need to get with it and provide an education system that not only meets students’ needs, but better prepares an economic and social future for all of B.C.

people in the Fraser Valley rely on their car, as their is no effective transit alternative. I intend to use existing infrastructure to expand the West Coast Express rail system, so that it will run from Mission, into Abbotsford, and out to Chilliwack. This will promote tourism and provide a much needed transit connection. Our education system needs improving, we need to encourage other students to join peer tutoring. Smaller classrooms, allowing teachers one on one time with their students. Education needs to be streamlined, offering students education in fields that they will actually use. Parents need time, so that they can teach their kids important basics such as personal planning, instead of the current generic planning courses schools offer. In our hospitals, nurses and doctors cannot be forced to work 12-hour shifts, as it increases their chance of getting tired and making a mistake. We need to retrain/replace doctors who continually make “errors,� resulting in many a return visit for the same surgery, contributing to hospital overcrowding and cost. The administration of hospitals needs streamlining to allow the hiring of more support staff.

issues:
better management of tax dollars, better education, healthcare, affordable water delivery and watershed protection. For many people today the cost of living and taxation is rapidly outpacing living wages. Added to that, local jobs have been lost to temporary workers on a lower pay scale, while working standards are eroding. Tie that together with B.C.’s high rate of child poverty and people ending up
on the streets, on welfare and in prisons… Many are just a paycheque away. Solutions will not be easy considering the current debt that the Liberals are leaving us with, but they could include a better public education system starting in the early years
Renewable technologies have been working well to grow economies in other
countries. Upgrading building standards to conserve energy, encouraged by low interest loan incentives would help people with utility costs and prevent a future need for so much costly energy expansion.
news?
It is important for the future that we conserve, and support renewable industries. We need to go back to effective independent regulating with consideration of the cumulative impacts, otherwise the rights of some industries will outweigh sustainability and the rights of everyone else.

of a child’s life, more investment in trades and technology, more affordable housing, a living wage and better health care. These investments would create jobs and save tax dollars currently being spent on welfare, policing or prisons. Countries like Norway have been smart by keeping sovereign control over resources and using profits gained to re-invest in new technology, infrastructure and social programs.

Book explores formerly taboo subject Author Trudy Beyak interviewed 50 experts about gender of God Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
When Trudy Beyak decided to write a book about the gender of God, she knew it would
be a controversial subject. But she didn’t imagine she would end up interviewing 50 scholars, celebrities and
leaders of faith who were open to discussing the idea that God has a maternal side. Those interviews are now the subject
of Beyak’s new book, The Mother Heart of God: Unveiling the Mystery of the Father’s Maternal Love. The book was re-

leased last week by Faith Words, which is owned by Hachette Book Group, the second largest publishing company in the world. Beyak, who was a journalist with the Abbotsford News from 1989 to 2008, took a one-year sabbatical in 2007 to write the book based on an idea she has had since 1993. In 2007, a Google search of “gender of God” turned up very few results, Beyak said. By 2011, the search turned up 25 million hits, and now more than 100 million can be found, BEYAK making the timing better than ever to discuss a subject that, for centuries, has been taboo. Beyak said new attention on the issue has drawn out texts in the Bible that refer to God’s maternal side. These portions were either missed or deliberately ignored over time, Beyak said. “Some people would says it’s because leaders in Christian denominations have mostly been men, and they looked at the Scriptures through the eyes of men,” she said. But Beyak said she does not want the book to read like a “feminist rant.” “I’m not a feminist. I’m pro woman and I’m pro man.” Beyak said she approached the book in the same way that she conducted research as a journalist – by interviewing the experts. “I approached it like a big news story,” she said. Among the people she spoke with were: monks at Westminster Abbey in Mission; Dr. Raymond Damadian, the inventor of the MRI machine; the Vatican and renowned Catholic scholars; Della Reese, co-star of the popular TV show Touched by an Angel; and Jurgen Moltmann, one of the world’s leading Protestant theologians. Beyak will sign copies of her new book on Thursday, May 9 at 7 p.m. at the House of James (2743 Emerson St.) For more information, visit the motherheartofgod.com.

Let’s not forget the teenage years and all we put her through. Doing the things that made memories for us and nightmares for mom! Nonetheless, whether she was helping us mend our first broken heart, or driving us all over the countryside for all our activities, mom was always there for us. Who among us doesn’t shudder just a little when we think of the times we got into mischief and knew we had to face mom? The dreaded “look” of disappointment on her face,
This is a reminder to everyone who has a mom, it’s time to give mom a big thank you for all she’s done throughout your life. How about creating a masterpiece for her at The Clay Cottage Ceramic Studio or Strung Out on Beads; mom deserves something special. SpaPure, The Loft Hair Studio and Beauty Bar, Sugar’d, Pinkies or Fusion Hair Design are the perfect places to pick up a gift card and treat mom to a welldeserved day of self-indulgence. How about picking out an amazing gift from Creekside Home Décor, Spruce Collective or Roses & Rutabagas.

Our moms were there when we fell and got our first boo-boo. She scooped us up and, in a magical way, made us forget that hurt and carry on. Somehow her kiss could take the hurt away. Mom’s the one who knows just the right way to calm us when we’re upset, whether it is with a few calming words or a stroke on our face and a loving smile. Mom can make it all better.
She will get you back one day though. You wonder where those embarrassing photos at your birthday or wedding came from. Mom. At the most inopportune times, mom can be counted on to talk about the time you climbed out of your messy diaper and trampled through the house with your twin sister…oh yeah, thanks mom! She’ll tell everyone about the time you cut your own hair or ate the dog biscuits.

Mouat grad Boseko Lokombo was drafted in the third round by the B.C. Lions on Monday.
Lokombo lands with Lions Third-round pick headed back to Oregon this fall Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
Boseko Lokombo held the No. 1 overall spot on the CFL Scouting Bureau’s prospect list heading into Monday’s draft, which meant that front-office types held his skills in high regard. But perhaps an even better measure of their respect is the fact he
fell all the way to the third round before being selected by the B.C. Lions. CFL teams hate to waste high picks on players who may never suit up for them, and the way Lokombo’s career with the University of Oregon Ducks is trending, an NFL career is a strong possibility. Continued on A26

In the third round, though, snapping up the athletic linebacker out of Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat Secondary represented a worthwhile roll of the dice for the Lions, even though Lokombo is headed back to Oregon this fall for his fourth and final season of eligibility with the Ducks. Head coach Mike Benevides said the Lions had Lokombo rated “extremely high.” “It was just too much value to pass him up at pick 21 (overall),” he said. “Obviously we know a lot of information about Bo. He’s a standout athlete, a big, strong athletic player at linebacker at Oregon.” The 6’3”, 233-pounder recorded 39 tackles last season, his first as a starter, and helped the Ducks beat Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl.

WHL calls for Abby trio
Dan KINVIG
Abbotsford News
Three Abbotsford prospects had their names called in the Western Hockey League’s bantam draft last Thursday. The major junior circuit’s talent lottery for 1998-born players saw a pair of local defencemen come off the board in the third round, within minutes of each other. The Prince Albert Raiders spent the 46th overall pick on Cody Paivarinta, while the Medicine Hat Tigers snapped up Marshall Skapski with the 54th selection. In the 10th round, versatile forward Brett Clayton was picked by the Saskatoon Blades (206th overall). All three are teammates with the Abbotsford Hawks bantam Tier 1 squad, and are classmates in the hockey academy at Yale Secondary. Paivarinta, still a month shy of his 15th birthday, is a towering presence at 6’5”, 185 pounds. He was named top defenceman at the prestigious Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament (KIBIHT) in March. “I was at home watching the draft (online), and I saw my name pop up,” he said, reflecting on his draft day experience. “I was pretty happy.” Brad Bowen, head coach of the Hawks Tier 1 bantam team and head instructor with the Yale hockey academy, said Paivarinta is just starting to scratch the surface of his potential. “He’ll be better once he gets to play with bigger players,” Bowen said. “Every time he hits somebody (in minor hockey), he gets a penalty. “Once he’s able to play his type of game – which he will get to – he’ll be real tough to play against.” Both Skapski and Clayton are following in the footsteps of family members in being drafted to the WHL. Skapski’s eldest brother Mackenzie is the starting goalie with the Kootenay Ice, while Mitch, a forward, just completed his rookie campaign with the Everett Silvertips. Bowen said Skapski’s work ethic is what sets him apart. “He out-works every player on the ice all the time,” he said. “He’s tough to play against, he’s real mean, but he’s got a work ethic above every other player.” Like Skapski, Clayton has two sib-
