Conspiracy probe leads to charges against cop Abbotsford officer faces 10 counts, including breach of trust Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford Police officer has been charged following an eight-month investigation that began when he allegedly leaked information to a drug dealer so that person could avoid arrest.

Const. Christopher Nicholson appeared Tuesday in Vancouver provincial court. He was charged with one count of conspiracy to traffic drugs, two counts of breach of trust, and seven counts of obstructing justice.

He has been suspended from his job with the Abbotsford Police Department, and will lose his pay as soon as it is legally possible.

The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) began the investigation last September, and Chief Jim Chu said at a press conference Tuesday that further charges will be laid.

Chu said the APD asked the VPD to conduct an investigation after two Abbotsford officers informed an inspector of Nicholson’s alleged misconduct last July. He said up to a dozen investigators were involved.

Chu said it is alleged that Nicholson provided false information to other officers, who used the details to obtain search warrants for drugs in private residences.

Nicholson also allegedly conspired with a confidential informant to have drugs delivered to a residence and have other police officers conduct a search warrant soon after.

APD Chief Bob Rich said if proven to be true, Nicholson put the “lives and reputations of other police officers at risk.”

Helping reduce harm Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

A

woman wanders up to a black van, stopped in an alley off of Braun Avenue.

Ma riner Janes gets out and opens the door, revealing hundreds of needles and crack pipes.

On top are alcohol swabs, bottles of water, tie-offs and more – the necessities of drug use, plus a few extras. He asks the woman what she needs.

“I’m not bad of a user,” she says, but will take some needles and alcohol swabs.

They talk for a few minutes – lighthearted chatter – as Janes gathers what she needs.

“Do you want a paper or plastic bag?” he asks her.

She smiles and says paper, watching as he fills it with supplies.

“They’ll think I’m carrying my lunch bag,” she laughs.

Janes rolls down the top of the bag, like a student’s lunch. “Be safe,” he says with a smile.

A group of people is gathered in the alley, next to the chain-link fences of a soon-to-be developed lot. Once Janes is recognized – and what he’s there for – people begin to wander over.

He asks them if they need any pipes, screens, needles – anything they might need to inject heroin or smoke crack.

Janes pulls things from the back of the well-stocked van. Mostly they want pipes and needles, but Janes offers swabs, water, and everything else needed for safety. He offers crack-users mouthpieces, intended to prevent infection.

Janes ends every exchange with “be safe.”

Safety is the purpose of these transactions.

Though the exchange is not done overtly, it’s not intended to be hidden.

Group discreetly provides harm reduction services as the city grapples with controversial issue

ALEX BUTLER Abbotsford News

Mariner Janes gets supplies from the Portland Hotel Society’s mobile needle exchange.

Walking the line between public profile and anonymity is a constant balance for the Portland Hotel Society (PHS) and their work in Abbotsford.

PHS is a Vancouver-based organization that runs programs for the homeless, and provides harm reductions measures. The organization

reached a high level of public awareness due to the InSite clean injection site, winning a Supreme Court battle to maintain a supervised needle exchange in the Downtown Eastside.

PHS comes to Abbotsford every Thursday to provide people with clean needles and other supplies for safe drug use. But in Abbotsford, these activities are still technically illegal. The city has a controversial 2005 zoning bylaw that prohibits harm reduction measures, including needle exchanges, from occurring in the city.

On April 22, council decided to review the bylaw. Staff will prepare an amendment to the bylaw for council to consider, changing the current definition of harm reduction. Staff will also prepare a “good neighbour policy” which would determine the most appropriate way to allow harm reductions measures in the city and mitigate the impact on the community.

Harm reduction refers to public health policies designed to reduce harmful consequences and is usually associated with needle exchange programs, free condoms, safe injection sites and other services that help drug users, prostitutes and other atrisk individuals.

Because PHS provides a number of these services, what they do in Abbotsford is technically breaking the law. But Janes says no one has tried to stop them. He said they come to Abbotsford to provide a practical solution to the problem.

“We don’t hope to make an impact on the politics, just to provide harm reduction measures.”

Janes says the issue has dragged on long enough and that in the time since the bylaw passed, the number of people who have been infected with HIV and hepatitis C is already too high.

They hope to advance to the world competition taking place in France in September 2014.

Plowing is in their blood. The two grew up on their family’s dairy farm, which their grandfather started on Dixon Road on Sumas Prairie, and both now work there full-time.

They became interested in competing five years ago, after having viewed a plowing championship the previous year.

This year’s event welcomes 16 competitors from five provinces. There are three other B.C. participants – Jim Mar from Saanich and Gene Sache and Francis Sache from Rosedale.

The remainder are from Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick.

The event takes place on the fields at Rose Gate Dairy Farms, located at 33775 Aish Rd. (at Fore Road and Highway 11). Admission to the public is $5 (free for kids under 12).

Also included are horse plowing demos, an antique tractor pull, daily entertainment and a display of vintage tractor and farm equipment.

Two public forums held in January were attended by about 150 members of the public. Representatives from local groups, the Warm Zone, 5 and 2 Ministries, Impact, the Drug War Survivors and the Abbotsford social development advisory committee, spoke in favour of overturning the bylaw. Of 95 written comments received at the forums, 85 per cent were in support of council amending the bylaw.

Council voted unanimously to reconsider the bylaw. City staff are reviewing the issue and are preparing a bylaw amendment. Any change in the zoning bylaw will require the issue to go to a public hearing.

On April 8, council received a report from the city’s social planner, recommending that council direct staff to amend the bylaw. The report found that the city is faced with high hepatitis C rates, high hospital admissions due to drug overdoses, and a lack of access to health care for vulnerable populations of intravenous drug users. The report states that health care is a provincial responsibility, and prohibiting harm reduction limits FHA ability to respond to the situation.

Though criticism of harm reduction often focuses on the fact it doesn’t stop drug use, Janes explains that what they do protects the addict, and

PHS began doing runs into Abbotsford after people travelled to Vancouver asking for thousands of clean needles.

When they explained that they needed so many because there were no resources available to them in Abbotsford, PHS decided to come to them.

On a recent trip to Abbotsford, Janes stops the van behind the Warm Zone, speaking with members of the 5 and 2 Ministries who are there doing similar work.

OF THE WEEK If you are eligible to vote, do you intend to exercise your right on May 14?

If I was one of these parents and so concerned, I would subject my kid to public humiliation.

Why should their identities be kept hidden?

They always get to hide behind being a young offender! They should be made to walk Mill Lake Park once a day every day for the next four months with a sign around their neck describing exactly what they did. Big sign, big letters with their name on it!

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

When you go to the polls, will you be voting for the person or the party?

Make them pick garbage off the streets.

Marcia Street-Thomson The parents will probably pay the fine. What’s next if they don’t get help? There are probably lots of people out there who know who they are, and maybe they will do the right thing and let people know who they are so they will be really embarrassed. Telling the cops they are remorseful and embarrassed means nothing.

Other Hand Standing in the buffet line at the Rancho Friday night, I had to smile at the conversations among the other guests – which primarily consisted of “whaat?” – as they discussed the food choices.

Not surprising the lack of auditory acuity, considering the advanced age of many of those in attendance at the 75th anniversary of the MSA Pioneers Association. However, though many may have been hard of hearing – and I think I’m getting close to joining those in need of aid – there was nothing lacking in their mental ability.

Stories were traded among those at the many tables, recounting family histories in our community. I noted the name of one gentleman at my table, and asked if a road in my neighbourhood was named after his

family. on Friday night and I am certain “My dad pushed that road into will provide fascinating insight, told our farm in 1913,” was the response, by those who have spent their entire and there were many other stories lives here, into how Abbotsford grew about families who have been here from bush and swamp to the busfor well over a century.

This book was debuted Sumas Prairie farmland, and a brief

history of Buckerfields, which was once the big player in our agricultural industry. A very old photo on display Friday night showed its giant feed mill on Railway Street.

The company also owned thousands of acres of Sumas Prairie farmland until the late ’70s or early ’80s.

And the historic company still holds a warm spot in my heart because, as a kid on Vancouver Island, I used to cycle up to their feed store at least once a week to sweep out the empty grain cars to get free food for my chickens and pigeons. Or, if their boxcars were clean, I’d cross the tracks and sidings to see if there was anything left in the cars at the Brackman Kerr store.

My stories, however, will surely pale by those recounted by those in what was the Matsqui, Sumas and Abbotsford district through the pages of Pioneer Stories, 1890-1950.

Waiting to be surprised by election

More creation of art, less destruction and theft I am one of graduates of the UFV Bachelor of Fine Art degree program.

We all had a wonderful night at our gala opening. We had speeches, wine, great food and a heck of a lot of fun viewing excellent artwork.

I came into my apartment complex, and was so tired I put down my bag in the lobby and left it there. To make a long, painful, story short, I lost everything from my grad. My grad photos, my new camera, my new Ipod Touch, my graduation suit, my grad catalogues.

Many great works of my art are on that camera they stole. They might get a few hundred dollars, but at what cost? My art is very important to me and I would love my personal belongings back.

If you have stolen my camera, Ipod, and all of my grad items, please know you will get little money for what you did, and have tainted the joyous occasion of my graduation day.

I’m a student with little money, and all I need is my art returned to me. Art changes lives, and I do make it for everyone, even for criminals that steal my work. (In hopes of changing lives for the better, that is. ) If anything, please return the memory cards to the police or Abby News. Keep the camera, keep the Ipod Touch, just please do what is right and please give my grad items back to me.

I think what Abbotsford needs is for more people to view art and create art, and less people to destroy and steal it.

Jeff Stackhouse, Abbotsford

nary, dollars to build hospitals.

Instead political expediency and the opportunity to count coup on the Liberals had Adrian Dix and the NDP campaigning for (and convincing) voters to return the $1.5 billion HST bribe to Ottawa rather than use it to address the need for major hospital spending on St. Paul’s, Royal Inland, Haida Gwaii and other projects.

As usual, the media is careful to tell British Columbians only what they want to hear; shunning the communication of any information to British Columbians they have a need to know, but don’t want to know/ hear about.

Focusing on the street theatre aspects of the election and, as carefully as the politicians, ignoring the true issues facing B.C. – the painful nitty-gritty reality voters do not want to hear or think about.

Politics as usual in B.C. Although, I am hoping to be surprised on election day by the election of two independent MLAs to represent Abbotsford South and Abbotsford West.

The Province posed an e-street question: “What has surprised you most about the current provincial election campaign?”

Nothing.

Devoid of ideas, ideals and desperate to avoid addressing the important issues and their painful realities, the Liberals are employing the time-tested strategy employed by politicians and parties in that position – frighten the voters. BC’s Liberals choosing to go with the 1990’s and NDP spending as the bogeyman with which to frighten voters.

If you can find no reasons for voters to vote for you, find frightening reasons to scare voters into voting against your opponents and for the lesser evil.

Of course they still are voting for evil, lesser or not.

Devoid of ideas, ideals and desperate to avoid addressing the important issues and their painful realities, the NDP are travelling around the province making spending promises using the imaginary extra $1.5 billion the NDP’s phantasm budget raises.

Of course, had the NDP put the welfare of citizens ahead of the welfare of the NDP, there would be 1.5 billion real, not imagi-

I 'm Here to Help!

Failing to learn from history?

I’m concerned that many British Columbians are more focused on “change” for the sake of change rather than electing the party most likely to foster job creation and financial stability.

Our province’s resource endowment has always been a mainstay of both jobs and the generation of revenues needed to fund social programs.

From what I have seen and heard, an NDP government would rev up spending while stymieing resource development through endless environmental reviews and or by just saying “no,” driving investment to other provinces and other countries. We need new mines and gas fields, pipelines, refineries,

ports and processing plants to replace jobs lost by tech change and by events like the pine beetle catastrophe.

Economic development and the protection of the environment are not mutually exclusive. Yes, we must be good stewards of our beautiful province, but we do have the technology to move the economy forward in an environmentally responsible manner. Saying no to new projects will mean job losses for currently employed and no opportunity for young people looking to join the work force.

We also need to focus on balancing the provincial budget, rather than taking money away from so-

cial programs to fund rising interest costs.

Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crippling.

It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars in new spending during this campaign, and their “every dollar is accounted for” rhetoric just isn’t credible because their antidevelopment attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises.

There is truth to the adage, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. The NDP came to power in 1991 and governed the rest of that decade.

rest of Canada. A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the B.C. government for driving growth investment in Alberta.

Glen Clark’s 19961999 tenure was arguably the most disastrous for B.C. and with Adrian Dix, then-premier Clark’s former chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself.

It took many years for the Liberals to repair the damage.

During their time in government, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the U.S. government, allowing B.C. taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates.

Have the Liberals done everything right?

Certainly not. The introduction of the HST by the Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill thought out policies. And while there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change longgoverning parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with debt.

I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully.

Over my life time – I am 78 – I have not known any Liberal government either provincially or federally that has not been riddled with corruption, and that includes our current provincial government. The only strength the Liberal Party has is its ability to pervert or distort the facts to continue in power.

While I am not a supporter of many of the statements of the New Democratic Party, I strongly believe it is a time for a change and sincerely hope if they do form the next government that they will show at least some sign of honesty.

As a citizen I strongly urge all eligible voters to cast their ballots and not to be taken in by the partial truths or outright lies being perpetrated by the Liberals.

Reasons to vote Liberal, or not

This analysis deals not with the platform but with the more instructive past performance.

If I vote Liberal on May 14 it will be for the following reasons.

Major reasons: T In 1992, when the NDP was elected, B.C.’s GDP per capita was 8 per cent above the Canadian average. By 2001, when the NDP was defeated, it was 8 per cent below.

Now it’s again above the average. In 2013 Moody’s awarded B.C. its highest possible rating – Triple A. Moody’s praised “the province’s track record of prudent fiscal planning and of managing fiscal pressures effectively.”

T B.C. has the lowest income tax rate in Canada for those earning less than $120,000.

The small business tax rate is now half what it was under the NDP. T With the Port Mann Bridge and freeway widening the Liberals remedied this bottleneck.

T The rebuilt BC Place Stadium is spectacular.

T The new Convention Centre is magnificent.

T An example of many major projects is Rio Tinto’s scheduled $3.3-billion upgrade to its Kitimat aluminum smelter, creating 2,500 construction and 1,000 long-term jobs.

Secondary reasons: T The minimum wage was increased to $10.25.

T The Canadian Federation of Independent Business awarded B.C. an “A” for leading all provinces in red tape reduction.

T Since June 2012, welfare recipients can earn up to $200 a month without clawback.

T With Liberal support, “B.C. is now a world leader in clean tech with over 200 clean tech firms generating an estimated $2.5 billion in revenue in 2011.” Todd Stone T A 10-point, $2 million anti-bullying strategy was implemented.

T An Independent Investigations Office was established to investigate serious cases involving police officers.

If I don’t vote

Liberal it will be for the following reasons.

Major reasons: T The costly HST fiasco.

T The reprehensible plan to use government resources for partisan gain among ethnics.

T Breaking an agreement by cancelling the $6 million legal defence loan despite the fact that senior Liberal staffers Dave Basi and Bob Virk were convicted of crimes in the BC Rail case.

T When the Liberals were elected in 2001, B.C.’s debt, including the guaranteed agencies’ debt, was $33.6 billion. When Christy Clark took over it was $45 billion. Now it is $56 billion.

T In 2011 Auditor General John Doyle stated that “For a government that strives for transparency and accountability this is unacceptable.”

T In 2011-12 the government’s Pacific Carbon Trust, which sells carbon credits, collected about 97 per cent of its carbon payments from public institutions. The project is failing.

T At 6.7 cents per litre this tax penalizes

consumers but does not reduce pollution.

T The new convention centre was to cost $495 million – it cost $883 million. Reconstructing BC Place Stadium was to cost $150 million; it cost $458 million.

T One in seven B.C. children lives in poverty.

T In 2006 the government rejected the “Missing Women Report.” Many lives might have been saved.

It broke its promise not to sell BC Rail. The government’s incredible mishandling of Boss Power’s uranium mine application cost B.C. taxpayers $30 million. In 2012, the government lost $35 million by rejecting a tentative deal with Telus to rename BC Place Stadium.

Secondary reasons: T British Columbians pay more than twice what Ontarians do for generic drugs.

T Instead of lowering rates, the Liberals’ 2010 budget transferred $778 million of ICBC surplus funds to general revenue.

T $780,000 was spent on a pro-HST mailer that was never mailed.

T $100,000 was

spent improving the Coquihalla toll plaza a few months before tolls were abolished and it was removed.

T After its big sale to CN in 2003, BC Rail was left with 40 kilometres of track and 30 employees. CEO Kevin Mahoney reportedly continued to be paid $500,000 a year.

T Numerous high salaries and severances are unconscionable. In 2010, almost 99 per cent of BC Hydro’s 6,000 employees received bonuses totalling $42.3 million.

Almost 40 per cent, 2,371, earned more than $100,000. When Premier Christy Clark released aide Allan Seckel, his severance was $549,776.

T The first Family Day holiday cost the average small business $1,135. B.C.’s economy lost at least $200 million.

T With rising prices the Land Transfer Tax is unfair.

I have studied the issues and have decided how I will vote.

I urge all eligible voters to do likewise.

Garden Gala supports charities

The Abbotsford Community Foundation hosts an “Evening in the Garden Gala” on Saturday, May 25 at the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre.

The event, running from 5:30 to 11 p.m., provides an opportunity for six local charities to work together to raise funds to support the services they provide in Abbotsford.

These charities are: Abbotsford Community Services, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Fraser Valley, CNIB, Fraser Valley Child Development Centre, Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation/ Abbotsford Regional Hospital, and The Reach Gallery Museum.

Guests will be welcomed with a traditional mint julep, and then

enjoy a three-course gourmet dinner followed by dancing to Abba tunes courtesy of the show band Abra Cadabra.

CBC’s Mark Forsythe will be master of ceremonies, and local philanthropist Dave Holmberg will help him conduct the live auction, in which each charity will offer an experience or item related to the services they provide.

The evening also includes more than 60 silent auction items, including a four-day RV rental, a trip to the Napa Valley, spa treatments, a golf package and ice cream for six months.

All six charities will split the proceeds from the event. For tickets and more information, visit abbotsfordcf.org or call 604-850-3755.

Nature conference calls for ‘wise choices’ Flooding and sustainability among topics

The AbbotsfordMission Nature Club (AMNC) hosted the BC Nature Annual General Meeting and Spring Conference

last week.

Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman, Mission Mayor Ted Adlem and Sto:lo elder Eddie Gardner

welcomed 120 members from across the province to learn about and experience the local natural environment and

communities.

Participants were encouraged to share research, explore solutions to environmental challenges

and network with other naturalists.

The conference theme, Along the Fraser – Adapting to Change, attracted talks on the flooding history of the lower Fraser River, the ecology of Sumas Mountain, sustainable food systems for the 21st century, and current research on great blue herons, amphibians and butterflies.

The keynote speaker, BCIT instructor Dr. Marvin Rosenau, described the tremendous impacts of human settlement and industry on the Fraser River ecosystem, particularly

fish, but left a message of hope that the river is resilient and with careful management and preservation of vital habitats, we can work to rebuild its productivity.

Participants explored habitat restoration projects on field trips to Aldergrove and Matsqui Trail Regional Parks, Willband Creek Park, and Silverdale Creek Wetlands.

Several speakers raised the importance of getting children into nature and engaging youth in environmental conservation and lead-

ership.

Readers can learn about BC Nature’s Young Naturalists Program at www. ync.ca.

The AbbotsfordMission Nature Club (abbymissionnatureclub.org) welcomes visitors and new members.

Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month from September through May at 7:30 p.m. at Abbotsford Middle School and there are regularly scheduled field trips and social events. Contact Hank Roos at 604853-4283 for more details.

Tractor campaign helps food assistance programs Abbotsford-based company Handlers Equipment will raise funds for food assistance programs through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank during the months of May and June.

Salesman Joel Venema will donate $50 to the campaign for every Mahindra tractor sold during those months.

Mahindra will then match the donation, bringing the total to $100.

Handlers will match the combined donation, increasing the total to $200.

Funds are multiplied up to 4:1 by the Canadian International Development Agency, bringing the total to $800.

Last year, Handlers raised funds for the Food for the Hungry organization to provide cows and chickens to poverty-stricken countries.

For more information or to support the campaign, contact Joel Venema before June 30 by email at joel@handlersequipment.com or by phone at 604850-3601 (ext. 225).

On Saturday May 11, a Free the Children Scavenger Hunt will be hosted by the Free the Children Society and Shape Your World Society.

The event takes place in Chilliwack and Abbotsford and is being organized

by Miss Teen Fraser Valley World 2013, Brittany Clough.

She has set a goal of raising $10,000 by the end of June for the Free the Children Society which is the Miss Teen Canada’s charity of choice.

In Abbotsford, the Shape Your World Society is helping run the event with the top six contestants in the Total Makeover Challenge 2013 manning the end point and signing up willing businesses and teams to participate.

Businesses can help by signing up as stop points on the hunt with teams visiting the businesses and collecting a stamp.

The stores will be showcased on various social media sites and promoted in local newspapers, radio and Shaw TV. Individuals can help by signing up a team (maximum of five) and participating in the hunt, collecting points with mini challenges and donations.

The objective for the teams in both communities is to rescue children from the “cages of poverty” set up in Cottonwood Mall in Chilliwack and Sevenoaks Shopping Centre in Abbotsford. The team with the top points overall wins a week’s stay at a luxurious chalet in Sun Peaks (www.cornerstonechalet.com).

Military service book moving into eighth publicationÂ

A21

Stories of those who served help promote work of Legion Jessica PETERS Black Press

Stories of our wartime heroes may be at risk of fading away, but there is an ongoing effort by the Royal Canadian Legion to preserve them. The BC Yukon Command of the Legion has now published seven books chronicling the stories of those who have served. The Military Service Recognition Book lists short profiles of members, both late and living, along with their photographs.

It also highlights Victoria Cross recipients and includes information on how to support and/or join the Legion. But it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist without public input. The committee responsible for publishing the book annually is cur-

rently finishing off its eighth edition, and they are putting out a call for more profiles and photographs. Once published, the book is available free of charge at all Legion branches.

The project is made

possible through donations to the Legion, and is used as a way to help promote the work done by the Legion and to connect with younger generations.. The best way to be included in the next edition of the

BC Yukon Command Military Service Recognition Book is by contacting the coordinator, Gary Peters, online. Visit www.legionbcyukon.ca to fill out a form, and then email garypeters@ shaw.ca.Â

the debate did heat up occasionally.

Finlay, who has a background in economics, was asked his views about the provincial budget and the zero deficit policy. He called any plan that doesn’t allow a deficit in any one year “unwise,” adding there are situations when it “makes sense” to run a deficit for a year or two.

That’s when the rebuttal cards began to fly as all candidates wanted to address budget issues.

“There are perceived balanced budgets and real balanced budgets and the past budget wasn’t real in terms of being balanced,” said van Dongen.

Plecas countered saying any claim that the budget isn’t balanced is “pure rubbish.”

Jhaj said “the only people that think the budget is balanced is Premier Christy Clark and her finance minister (Abbotsford’s Mike de Jong).”

She also pointed out that van Dongen was part of the last four Liberal budgets.

Plecas was asked how he would address apparent discrepancies in funding to Fraser Health, which appears to receive less than other health regions.

He said while at first glance there appears to be an imbalance, the issue is larger than that.

“We are far away from providing the level of service that’s needed out there. We need more services and we need to start doing it differently,” said Plecas, adding if there is one place where there is a need for more money it’s mental health services.

Van Dongen argued that the inequitable funding issue is real and that mental health and addiction should “have its own free-standing budget” coming from Victoria.

Carbon tax among topics debated All-candidates meeting held for Abbotsford-Mission Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The carbon tax, a balanced budget, public transit, job creation and health care were among the issues discussed during the Abbotsford-Mission all-candidates meeting on Tuesday evening.

The event, held at Christian Life Church on

Straiton Road, featured all seven of the riding’s candidates: Liberal contender Simon Gibson, NDP candidate Preet Rai, Conservative Don Stahl, Aird Flavelle of the Green Party, Excalibur Party candidate Marcus Halliday, and independents Wendy Bales and Roman Bojczuk.

The meeting was hosted

by the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board and the Fraser Valley Indo-Canadian Business Association.

The carbon tax was the focus of several prepared and audience questions.

The candidates were divided on whether the tax – which applies to the pur-

chase or use of fuels – is beneficial in reducing B.C.’s carbon footprint.

Halliday said although it was initially a good idea, it has not been implemented as intended.

“It became another tax that increases the cost of living,” he said.

Stahl said the tax has Continued on A27

done nothing to help the environment. He said he would get rid of it, and focus more on making B.C. an affordable place for families.

Flavelle said he is in favour of the tax because it is the “fastest and most efficient” way to reduce carbon emissions.

“We need to do something quickly,” he said.

Rai said the NDP will have to keep the carbon tax because of the “financial mess” the Liberals left the province in. He said the party will use the funds to support environmental and climate change initiatives.

Gibson argued that the tax has always been “revenue neutral.”

Another issue that was the focus of several questions was balancing the budget.

Rai said the NPD has a plan in place to have a balanced budget within three years, followed by debt reduction.

Simon Gibson stands to respond to a question during the Abbotsford-Mission allcandidates meeting on Tuesday night, as other candidates await their turn.

Bojczuk said, if elected, his constituents will guide him on what needs to be done. He said he would be only one voice among 85 in the legislature.

“I would not be able to seriously affect policy. I’m not here to make promises I can’t keep.”

Gibson said people need to remember that a balanced budget comes with sacrifices.

“When you balance the budget, you can’t do everything you’d like now ... It’s really

about setting priorities, and health care and education are the number one priorities.”

Bales, who failed to win the riding nomination for the NDP, was asked whether she was running as an independent on a “revenge platform.”

“I’m here because I’m worried about a lot of different issues, and I wanted to address them,” she said.

Among the concerns she touched on during the meeting were homelessness and poverty, protecting

the Agricultural Land Reserve, and the use of renewable energies.

Halliday, who is 18, was asked whether his age should be a factor in determining his suitability as a politician. He said his maturity was evidenced by the fact that he argued the issues aptly with the other candidates, and every politician has to start somewhere.

“You know what? We need a fresh voice,” he said.

This was the last of the all-candidates meetings in the area.

Patricia Smith running in Abbotsford South Patricia Smith was the last candidate to throw her hat in the political ring for Abbotsford South.

A member of the newly formed BC Excalibur Party, Smith is a Vancouver resident who spends much of her time in Abbotsford, visiting her niece.

She calls herself an environmentally concerned individual and she holds both University and College degrees in teaching, counselling and guidance, music and fine arts.

One of Smith’s mottos is “think globally, act locally.”

According to her profile on the party website, “Abbotsford’s strength lies in the fact, that it is a community made up of a diversity of cultures.”

Smith writes that if elected she intends to “bring the cultural groups together to encourage creative and interactive community projects, which can help break down the barriers of prejudice and SMITH create long lasting and fulfilling friendships, as well as celebrate the cultural diversity of this city.”

Reliable transit, affordable housing and opposing environmentally irresponsible practices – including fish farming, the Kinder-Morgan pipeline and ecologically irresponsibly gravel mining – are all part of her platform.

Smith is running against John van Dongen (independent), Darryl Plecas (Liberal), Lakhvinder Jahj (NDP) and Steve Finlay (Marijuana).

Valley home sales rise in April

Home sales increased in April, with the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board reporting 1,366 sales processed through its Multiple Listing Service (MLS), an increase of 21.1 per cent compared to March’s 1,128 sales, but still lagging behind April 2012’s 1,435 sales.

“Historically, sales and listings activity noticeably increases during the spring months and April was no exception,” said Ron Todson, president of the Board.

“What’s different this year is that a number of external factors, such as tighter credit rules and the government’s spotlight on consumer debt have made some consumers more cautious about buying or selling a property. “However,

for those who need to move to a bigger or smaller home or to another community before summer hits, its business as usual because when you need a home, you need a home.”

The board received 2,951 new listings in April, 5.8 per cent fewer compared to last year’s 3,134 new listings in April but up 7.8 per cent from March. Total active inventory at month-end was 9,995 listings, up from March but still down from 2012. The result has been that the balance between sales, new listings and total active inventory shifted slightly in favour of a balanced market, with April’s sales-to-active-listings ratio increasing to 14 per cent compared to March.

ket area and property type, prices are either slightly up or down based on desirability and availability of product, underscoring the importance of understanding what’s going on in your specific area, which is exactly where realtors can help.”

In April, the benchmark price of single family detached homes in the Fraser Valley was $547,300, an increase of 0.4 per cent compared to $545,000 during the same month last year.

For townhouses, the benchmark price was $299,100, a decrease of 2.2 per cent compared to $305,900 in April 2012 and the benchmark price of apartments was $203,900, virtually unchanged from $203,800 in April 2012.

Having lived on a farm our whole life with a strong University background in agriculture we get the job done.

We offer the best of advertising, pictorial promotions, websites, and overseas promotions. We try to keep in touch with the latest municipal, provincial, and federal changes, which will encourage the new farmer starting out.

A local chapter of the Red Hat Society turned up for some good cheeky fun and laughs during Mission’s Opening Nite Theatre’s soldout first weekend of Nana’s Naughty Knickers.

“It’s wonderful to see so many of our audience having

The second weekend sold out as well, with tickets selling fast for the final weekend of May 10-12.

Nana’s Naughty Knickers is the story of a hip, wid-

At first glance, it seems like a woman holding a child is peering into the window at Karl’s Meat Market in Downtown Abbotsford. Beside her, two other children look through the glass, the reflection of their faces shine back at them.

It’s window shopping at its best.

But there is no window. And there is no woman, or children, just a brick wall painted by local artist Dean Lauze.

The new mural on the side of Karl’s Meats on West Railway Street is a replacement for an older version that had slowly faded.

But the new one is more than a mural, it’s an homage.

Doug Ensink has owned Karl’s Meats for the past six years when he took over from his father, Karl, who started the business in 1966.

The first version of the mural was painted in 1997. The original was created to give the impression of a window into the store. When the time came to repaint the building, the mural was lost.

“We got some flak from the public for that,”

said Ensink.

After contacting Lauze, it was decided to redo the mural. However, the generic grandmother and child in the first version needed to be replaced with something a little more significant.

“He asked if I would like to put my children in there,” Ensink said.

Ensink thought it was a great idea. Then they took the project one step further.

Three years ago, Ensink’s mother-in-law, Sherry Kingma, passed away from cancer. It was the perfect choice to use her image as the grandmother.

Ensink brought Lauze photos of Kingma and his three children, Karl, Pearl and Daniel and the image was created.

“It’s special too because Daniel never met her.

He’s two and a half and now she’s holding him in the mural.”

Response to the new mural has been “fantastic.”

People are taking pictures of it and posing looking through the window.

“It’s just another nice community project that’s adding to the revitalization of Downtown Abbotsford,” Ensink said.

Q The average British Columbian uses 353 litres of water per day, yet thinks they use less than 200 litres per day.* Q 78 per cent of British Columbians would fix an internet outage within a day, but only 50 per cent would fix a leaky faucet within the same time frame.* Q Replacing an 18-litre-per-flush toilet with an ultra low volume 6-litre or less model leads to a 66% savings in water flushed and will reduce indoor water use by about 30%. *RBC 2013 Canadian Water Attitudes Study.

Spending time in the Den

SWIM â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hot Tub Alâ&#x20AC;?

Local man makes his pitch to the Dragons Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

Alex Kotai has had his time in the den â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Dragonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Den that is.

The Abbotsford businessman was part of a series of auditions held locally in March for the popular CBC television show.

Like a long line of other hopefuls, Kotai was anticipating that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get the call to come to Toronto for filming at the end of March.

It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come.

Resigned to the fact that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify for the show, he went on working on his business called Cardioblast.com, an online workout regimen.

Then, on April 23, he got the call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said they want me to come to the show and film in Toronto,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The only problem is they wanted him right away. His filming date was Sunday, April 28.

Having thrown out most of the props he used for his audition, Kotai had to scramble to put together a presentation in a short amount of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to revamp it a little bit,â&#x20AC;? he explained.

The filming itself was quite an experience.

Presenters are not allowed into the studio until right before filming. His presentation was set up and then moved onto the set for him. Then he waited for his cue to appear in front of the Dragons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just sitting there, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not smiling.â&#x20AC;?

Because his episode has not been aired yet, Kotai canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say anything about the taping.

Family and supporters will have to wait for the next season of the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really cool just to talk to these people,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He will receive two months notice of when his episode will appear. It could be as long as 11 months.

Twin sisters return to the stage

ABBOTSFORD / MISSION

Andrea and Amaris to perform with Gloria Dei Chorale The 45-voice Gloria Dei Chorale, conducted

by Abbotsford musician David Rushton, will present the concluding concert of the 2012-2013 season on Friday, May 24 at the Bakerview Church on Clearbrook Road.

The concert will also feature the Canada West Chamber orchestra and soloists, Andrea and Amaris, in Vivaldi’s Gloria as well as additional vocal duets with orchestra and joyful choral selections.

Andrea and Amaris, identical twin sisters, reside and teach music in

the Fraser Valley and have performed at numerous events throughout B.C. including various venues during the 2010 Winter Olympics as well as singing the national anthem at games for both the Vancouver Canucks and the BC Lions.

The fact that Andrea and Amaris are “mirror-image” identical twins – meaning that one is left-handed and the other right-handed – enables them to blend their voices so perfectly that it is virtually impossible to distinguish one from the other.

They enjoy exploring a diverse range of musical styles, and have succeeded in creating a oneof-a-kind sound through their incredible vocal flexibility, extensive ranges and beautiful harmonies.

Their unique style combines a mix of pop, classical and gospel elements that appeals to audiences from many cultural backgrounds.

Andrea and Amaris recognize the power of music to inspire others, and hope that their music touches the lives of those who hear it. The twins have

Abbotsford News Thursday, May 9, 2013

Donations recognized The City of Abbotsford has a new resource to respond to emergencies, thanks to $10,000 in donations from the Rotary Club of Abbotsford and Canadian Western Bank.

The donations were used to purchase a trailer, equipped with resources for emergencies such as flooding or disasters.

The mobile trailer allows for a reception centre to be set up at any location in the city, depending on the disaster and where it occurs.

Mayor Bruce Banman and Fire

Chief Don Beer presented Andrew Franklin, president of the Rotary Club of Abbotsford, and Lindsay Babineau, from Canadian Western Bank, with certificates of thanks for their support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The funds that they have provided for us definitely will go to a great cause,â&#x20AC;? said Beer.

The donation comes during the B.C.-wide emergency preparedness week. Banman thanked the donors, saying that it is important that the community has the resources to respond to a potential emergency.

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I Thursday, May 9, 2013

Runners burst from the starting line in the senior boys 1500-metre race at the Upper Fraser Valley track and field championships last week at Rotary Stadium.

DAN KINVIG PHOTOS Abbotsford News

Hawks lead charge at Upper Valleys Mouat wins overall meet title behind triple-gold performances from Siemens, Pilgrim Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

The W.J. Mouat Hawks and their leading ladies continued to cruise along at the Upper Fraser Valley track and field championships, held last week at Rotary Stadium.

Coming off an overall aggregate triumph at the Abby-Mission district championships the previous week, the Hawks followed that up by rolling to victory in the overall (579.5 points), senior (235.5) and junior (344) categories at the Upper Valleys.

Alex Siemens and Callum Pilgrim provided dominant bookend performances in the senior and junior girls divisions, respectively. Both won three gold medals in the same three events – 800 metres, 1500m and 3000m – en route to winning their divisions' individual aggregate awards.

Mouat also got multiple gold medals from Spencer Spenst (senior boys high jump and pole vault) and Josh Adhemar (junior boys 300m hurdles and 1500m

Abbotsford’s gold medallists

steeplechase).

"This win was a total team effort, which I really stress to the athletes," Mouat coach Cameron Smith said. "We were dominant in the field and on the track, up against some very tough competition. I’m very proud of this team, they have had an unreal season this far, winning everything in their path, but doing it with character and smiles on their faces."

Abbotsford Christian also turned in an excellent team performance – the Knights finished a close second to Mouat in the senior aggregate (230 points to Mouat's 235.5) and added fourthplace results in both the Grade 8 and overall standings.

MEI Middle School made an impact in the Grade 8 division, racking up 137 points to finish second overall to Walnut Grove.

The next major high school track and field meet is the Fraser Valley championships, May 13, 15 and 16 at Rotary Stadium.

The Div. 3 men get things started at 12:40 p.m., taking on Capilano B in their division’s Tier B title

Abbotsford News

Saturday is shaping up to be a massive day for the Abbotsford Rugby Football Club.

The local association has put teams in three men’s divi-

game. The League 2 side takes its turn at 2:20 p.m. vs. the Surrey Beavers, followed by the League 1 squad facing the Vancouver Rowing Club at 4 p.m.

“I think it’s going

to be a great day for Abbotsford,” predicted Abby head coach Jason Young.

“You can’t ask for much more as a coach than having three teams in the final.

I’m excited to be there

and enjoy it. To me, the guys are deserving of it.”

Putting three teams into B.C. finals in the same season is believed to be an unprecedented feat in ARFC history, and

sibility.

“In all three divisions, we’re the highest seed,” Young noted.

The League 1 final is particularly intriguing, as the winner earns the option to move up to the CDI Premier League next season.

Abbotsford spent the 2010-11 and 2011-12 campaign in the Premier League, but were relegated after finishing 1-13 last season. The club has clearly benefitted from moving down a level, and Young said it’s unclear at this point whether they’d elect to move back up if they were to win Saturday.

“It’s a tough call, because to play at that level . . . you need a lot of depth,” he observed.

Skippers Taylor passes first-stage test win big at B.C.’s The Abbotsford Skipping Sensations turned in a remarkably dominant performance at rope skipping provincials at Rosedale Community School last week.

The local club brought home 13 of a possible 15 medals in the five female categories they participated in, highlighted by a top-six sweep in the 12-14 division and a topfive sweep in the 15-17 bracket.

“I think we’ve worked very hard for that,” said head coach Deirdre DeGagné. “We have an exceptionally hard-working group, and the results show. They’re very disciplined.”

Gold medallists included Sarah Korstrom (8-9 female), Ellory Smith (10-11 female), Sadie Baird (1214 female), Alexa Lagunes (15-17 female) and Hannah Perkins (18-29 female).

Silver medallists were Clea Brummitt, Kaeli Wiens, Arden Mills and Kourtni Eckstein, while Kira Peary, Emma Reitsema, Brittany Van Herk and Emily Whitman collected bronze medals.

Twenty Skipping Sensations athletes will attend nationals in St. Catharines, Ont. next week.

Metcalfe tops at Ledgeview The Zone 3 Junior Golf Tour made a stop at Ledgeview Golf and Country Club last Sunday, and Edward Metcalfe emerged victorious.

Metcalfe, out of Hazelmere Golf Course in Surrey, shot a one-under 70 for a two-stroke win over Jun Kang and Henry Lee. The top Ledgeview finishers were Andrew Alafriz and Nick Guenther, who were tied for seventh at 75.

Abbotsford golfer Nick Taylor made his way safely through the local qualifying round for the U.S. Open on Monday.

The Abbotsford Cardinals continued to impress on Tuesday evening, plating a run in the bottom of the seventh inning to edge the North Delta Blue Jays 3-2 at DeLair Park.

With the score tied 2-2, pinch hitter Jesse Braun hit a one-out single, then advanced to third base on a wild pitch.

Cards second baseman Coleton Besse played the hero, lofting a sacrifice fly to drive in Braun for the gamewinning run.

Abbotsford pitcher Daniel Koo also turned in a terrific

Talking to Abe Falls about his decision to sign with the UBC-Okanagan men’s basketball team, it quickly becomes apparent why his game must have appealed to new UBC-O bench boss Pete Guarasci.

Rather than wax eloquent about his ability to knock down the threepointer or grab rebounds in bunches – both of which he is capable of – Falls instead focuses on his affinity for drawing charges.

“I really like to bring energy to the court – tough defence, hit the open shot, just help the team any way I can.”

Falls’s willingness to embrace the blue-collar tasks, combined with his work ethic, helped him land the scholarship from Kelowna-based UBC-O, a fledgling Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) program.

Falls lands with UBC-Okanagan Yale’s gritty Grade 12 swingman earns CIS scholarship hard on his ball-handling and shooting last summer and transitioned into more of a perimetre role on offence as a senior.

Falls was a key cog on a Lions team which spent part of the year atop the AAA rankings and finished seventh at provincials.

“Abe has been a steady contributor to a Yale program rich with basketball tradition,” Guarasci said. “He is a nice shooter with size who competes hard on every possession. We are looking forward to seeing how he can contribute to our UBC-O men’s basketball program.”

Spikers shine at Tradex

The B.C. club volleyball provincials took centre stage at Abbotsford's Tradex building for a second straight weekend, and a trio of local teams climbed the podium.

The U15 and U16 boys and girls tournaments were on the docket, and the Fraser Valley Volleyball Club swept both events on the boys side.

The FVVC U16 squad beat the Focus Hitmen in two sets (25-18, 25-23) in their division championship game, and Jordan Koslowsky,

a setter out of MEI, picked up MVP honours. Jordan Loewen and Justin Faester earned all-star nods.

The FVVC Young Bloods were the U15 boys champs, downing the Apex Decepticons in the final (25-18, 2518). Kaden Gamache was MVP, while Josh Fefchak and Tyson Smith were all-stars.

Altruista Silver of Abbotsford finished second in the U15 Div. 3 girls playoffs, falling in two sets to Kelowna Krew (2514, 25-22) in the title game.

Abbotsford’s Galaxy Bowl was one of the host sites for the Youth Bowling Canada (YBC) national championships, which were held at various locations in the Greater Vancouver area on the weekend.

The five-pin junior girls and boys team events were contested at the local lanes, and Team B.C. won medals in both events.

The girls team representing the host province was from Prince George, and Lezzyl Aquino, Megs Reimer, Kassidy Johnson and Paige Meise combined to win the gold deci-

sively with 16 wins in 21 games.

The B.C. boys team, comprised of Robert Levelton, Tomas Galus, Michael Byron and Noah Erickson, hailed from Port Coquitlam.

They took bronze, edging Manitoba in a tiebreaker after both teams won 12 of 21 games.

Galaxy Bowl proprietor Steven Reynolds said his ears “were still ringing” after hosting the national championship events.

“There was a lot of enthusiasm,” he said. “It went really well – everyone had a great time.”

Simple gift ideas

Flowers make a great Mother’s Day present

NaTiOnAl

N a V a R a C D n A r G

Mother’s Day is almost here, and many of us are still looking for some inspiration. Well, let me make a few suggestions.

There’s scientific proof now that flowers and plants not only make people happy, but are also therapeutic. They make our living spaces a lot more enjoyable as well.

The type of plant you give, however, should adapt to Mom’s lifestyle. If she is away a great deal, small tropicals or hanging baskets certainly are not the answer. I would suggest something like an outdoor garden.

Larger patio tubs can go a long while between waterings and you know, the addition of a small tree can make quite a difference to a patio.

Containers about the size of a half barrel, such as large 50cm cedar tubs or terracotta pots, can make an attractive permanent garden. By using lightweight soil mixes, the weight prob- Brian lem can be minimized.

If you add casters to the bottom of the pots, they can be easily moved if necessary, or if you just want to change the perspective.

The types of trees that can be used as focal points in the containers are really unlimited, but some of my favourites are the new Japanese willow Hakara Nishiki with its variegated white and pink foliage, standard forms of dwarf conifers or the

McFAUL Evelyn March 20, 1939 ~ May 4, 2013

We announce with great sadness that Evelyn McFaul late of Abbotsford passed away suddenly on May 4, 2013. She is survived by her high school sweetheart and husband of 52 years, John, daughter Patti (Rob), son Doug (Diane) and brother-in-law, David (Joanne).

Her grandchildren Sydney, Tori, Sean and Ryan were her pride and joy. She bravely battled cancer over the past two years with a positive attitude that was an inspiration to all who knew her. She continued to participate in activities that brought her great happiness.

Evelyn was very involved with her grandchildrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extracurricular activities. She sewed for them and helped with projects. She was their number one fan at all sporting activities, earning her the title â&#x20AC;&#x153;Super Grandmaâ&#x20AC;?. By profession, Evelyn was a nurse and supervisor for 30 years at various hospitals throughout B.C. Since retirement in 1999, she was a strong supporter of the new Abbotsford Regional Hospital, participating weekly as a volunteer, greeting and helping all who entered. She cared for her family and friends with passion, humour and straightforward feedback.

Her energy and love will be sorely missed. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 2:00 pm at Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Home, 34537 Marshall Rd., Abbotsford, BC, with a reception to follow in Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tea Room.
