More police power to turf out gangsters?

HOMELESS IMPACT

Reforms urged to curb gang violence, alcoholism

Black Press

B.C. police chiefs are urging the provincial government to give their officers more power to haul gangsters out of bars and restaurants.

That’s one of the suggestions received so far by the government’s liquor policy review, which is expected to lead to significant reforms.

“The province has been dealing with a wave of gang violence with many shootings occurring in and around licensed premises,” Abbotsford Police Chief Bob Rich said in a submission to the review.

Rich, who chairs the legislative committee of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, called for province-wide police power to unilaterally remove anyone they decide poses a risk to the public in a licensed establishment.

He said police already work with establishments through the Barwatch program to remove gang members, but owners or staff can be intimidated by gangsters.

“It’s the licensed premises that primarily has the authority to have people leave its premises if it’s concerned, but that’s difficult with gang members,” Rich said.

Managers testify in Surrey Six case Abby victim Ed Schellenberg was servicing fireplace in suite Sheila REYNOLDS Black Press

Before Abbotsford’s Ed Schellenberg was murdered in a Surrey apartment building in 2007, a co-manager of the building suggested he service the fireplace in suite 1505 instead of his young co-worker nephew because of the type of people she saw coming and going from the unit.

Tracy Carothers took the stand in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver on Tuesday at the trial of three men accused of first-degree murder and conspiracy in connection to the deaths of six men in the Balmoral Tower apartment building on Oct. 19, 2007. The execution-style mass murder that took place in suite 1505 has since become known as the Surrey Six. Schellenberg, 55, who was servicing fireplaces in the building on the day of the murders, was considered to simply be in the wrong place at the wrong time, as was 22-year-old Chris Mohan, who lived next door.

The four other victims – Edward Narong, Ryan Bartolomeo, and brothers Corey and Michael Lal – had ties to the drug trade and were known to police.

Cody Rae Haevisher, Matthew Johnston and Quang Vinh Thang (Michael) Le are currently on trial for the murders.

Carothers told Justice Catherine Wedge that she often saw many “scruffy” peo-

home.

Schellenberg’s nephew arrived from another floor and his uncle told him to service the fireplaces in suites 1504 and 1508.

Carothers testified that she advised Schellenberg that 1505 might not be a good environment for his young nephew because of the people who lived there.

She then watched Schellenberg head down the hallway to 1505.

“I heard him knock on the door and I heard someone reply, ‘just a moment’.”

That was the last time she saw him.

She went to her own suite and after about 45 minutes, became concerned she hadn’t heard from Schellenberg. She sent her husband, Norman Carothers, looking for him.

Norman was the first witness to take the stand at the trial Monday.

He said after his wife asked him to find Schellenberg, he went to suite 1505. He heard music inside the apartment and knocked loudly on the door several times, but there was no answer. He then knocked on the Mohan’s suite next door.

There was no answer.

He looked in other areas of the building for Schellenberg and checked his van outside, to no avail.

Norman then returned to the suite 1505. He opened the door and saw six bodies on the floor.

Opposed to decrease in drinking age From A1

The police chiefs association also wants the definition of public drunkenness expanded to allow the arrest of people intoxicated by drugs, and not just liquor.

The submission also suggests the courts could order detoxification and treatment for the chronically intoxicated.

Another proposal would let police temporarily seize the guns of hunters they catch RICH with open liquor.

Medical health officers are cautioning the government against letting liquor flow more freely.

They want the province to freeze or cut the number of private liquor re-

tailers and ban online ordering and delivery.

To combat disease from abuse of cheap high-alcohol drinks, they are seeking a minimum price of $3 per standard drink consumed on site and $1.50 for off sales.

They also want pricing tied to alcohol content, so youth and others aren’t encouraged to buy high-strength drinks.

They oppose any decrease in the drinking age of 19.

The province has indicated it isn’t considering changes to pricing or taxation, which provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall said is unfortunate.

“Policy measures such as taxation are the most cost-effective public health response to the alcohol-related disease burden in countries with moderate and high levels of alcohol consumption,” he said in response to the review.

Kendall questioned the government’s

top priority of increasing or maintaining government liquor revenue – ahead of the second principle of minimizing health and social harms – and argued health system and other costs of alcohol use far exceed government revenues.

Meanwhile, a group called Campaign for Culture is promoting a return of happy hours and also urges the province to okay the sale of craft liquor at farmers’ markets.

B.C. is the only province that bans bars and restaurants from offering happy hour discounts in the late afternoon and early evening.

While the group supports lifting the restriction, it argues for a province-wide price minimum to prevent irresponsible practices like two-for-one, all-you-candrink or women-drink-free offers.

Subway robbed at gunpoint NEW FLIGHTS! Abbotsford Police warn businesses of possible spree Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

An armed robbery at a local restaurant has Abbotsford Police concerned that similar incidents could occur.

On Monday night at about 9:45 p.m., a man entered a Subway restaurant in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way. He approached an employee at MACDONALD the cash register, produced a handgun and demand cash.

“The 18-year-old cashier is pretty shaken and she struggled initially to get the cash register open, just because she’s so frightened,” said Const.

Ian MacDonald.

A second employee observed the robbery but was not able to call for help because of the positioning of the suspect.

The man fled from the restaurant once he obtained the cash. Neither of the female employees was harmed but both were extremely upset by the incident.

A police dog was brought in but the suspect was not located.

“We were on scene pretty quickly. We’re thinking he either had a bicycle or a vehicle waiting.”

The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, 25-35 years of age and approximately 5’10”.

He was dressed in dark or black clothing with a hoodie pulled up around his head and a bandana over part of his

face.

MacDonald said about two weeks ago, an armed robbery took place at a McDonalds restaurant on Mt. Lehman Road.

“Certainly we have to consider the possibility that those are connected,” said MacDonald.

He added that police are always concerned that an armed robbery could eventually become a “spree” of robberies.

“We’ve experienced that with the Subway spree that we had a couple of years ago so we are extremely concerned right now and want to get the word out to business owners.”

Anyone with information about this incident should call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225 or text 222973 (abbypd) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Purple lights to shine through the city be kind of cool,” said Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald.

He said the police station will be displaying purple lights but that’s not all. He said the community has offered its support as well.

Abbotsford will be basking in a purple glow this month.

The Purple Night Lights campaign, designed to raise awareness of domestic violence, runs throughout October.

“This is going to

PRICING IN EFFECT OCTOBER 4 - 10

“To our absolute amazement, we have close to 80 businesses on board.”

He said people will notice a “fair amount of purple” going on in the city.

While he is pleased with the response,

MacDonald wanted to stress that this is not an Abbotsford Police initiative.

“We can’t take credit for it, we are just supporting it,” he said.

Science loses ground to superstition Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views From Stockholm to Sydney to Sicamous, September was a bad month for science.

In Sweden, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change finally issued its widely leaked update on human-caused global warming. As expected, it downgraded predictions of temperature rise in the face of 15 years of measurements that show little or no average surface temperature increase.

The official spin also went as expected.

The revelation that more than a dozen computer prediction models have all more or less agreed, and all have been wrong, was played down. The IPCC went from “very likely” to “extremely likely” to affirm its belief in human-caused warming, even as its own core evidence went the other way.

Again and again we are told that the vast majority of scientists believe in humancaused warming, and those who don’t are

labeled “skeptics” or even “deniers” with hidden agendas. The problem is, science isn’t supposed to be done by polls or popularity contests, or assertions of faith like those that greeted Galileo’s wild claim that Earth is not the centre of the solar system.

Before the angry mail starts to arrive, let me hasten to add I am not arguing for or against the theory of human-caused climate change. You can label me a “skeptic” as I view the temperature readings and the shifting theories advanced to explain them.

Speaking of temperature data, David Suzuki had a problem with that at a TV town hall in Australia.

Polite, well-informed questions soon revealed that while Suzuki rails constantly about the horrors of global warming, he doesn’t actually know much about the latest science.

As I’ve written before regarding his CBCfunded attacks on Canada’s oil and gas industry, Suzuki is not only behind on his

homework, he resorts to cheap, sensational tricks to exaggerate and misrepresent hazards. His tactics are identical to the U.S.-financed environment groups that obsessively target Canadian petroleum.

As for his appearance on Australia’s public broadcaster, don’t take my word for it.

Just Google “An Audience with David Suzuki” and watch the show for yourself.

Back in B.C., local politicians gathered in Vancouver for their annual convention. One of the most intense debates was over a call to the provincial government to declare B.C. “genetic engineering free.”

The heart of this movement, which has resorted to vandalism in Europe, is hostility towards Monsanto’s “Roundup ready” seed. Speakers at the municipal convention warned of sinister “corporations” trying to contaminate and control our food supply for profit.

The debate pitted hobby farmers against professionals. Peace region grain farmers said such a ban would put them out

Again and again we are told that the vast majority of scientists believe in human-caused warming, and those who don’t are labeled skeptics.

of business. Others pointed out that the province has no jurisdiction and that scientific decisions shouldn’t be influenced by emotion.

The session ended with a classic pseudoscientific claim. A woman who used to have a couple of bee boxes said someone’s bees died and there was a Roundup-ready canola field next door. Case closed. The misguided “G.E.-free B.C.” motion was supported by a narrow majority.

As it turns out, there are agricultural pesticides that may be harmful to bees.

The David Suzuki Foundation is part of an effort to get one of them banned in Canada. The problem is, it’s not Roundup, and it’s got nothing to do with genetic engineering.

They’re called “neonicotinoids,” because they’re similar to nicotine. Old sheep farmers may recall using a crude version: tobacco soaked in water to kill insects on sheep.

It’s ironic that as the “information age” accelerates, our society, overwhelmed by conflicting messages, slips back towards superstition.

YOU’RE INVITED'

Downtown at risk

After the threat on ABDA’s window, personal attack on Tina Stewart and attempted smearing of the Salvation Army’s reputation, it was nice to see both sides presented.

What appears to have been forgotten is how Abbotsford’s Downtown area was several years ago. Heck, you didn’t even feel safe at the Berry Festival, never mind the Christmas Tree Lighting!

Now the streets are clean with lovely, well-tended hanging baskets.

There are a variety of interesting shops and restaurants, some new, some long-standing giving stability to the area. And we are starting to feel safe again!

Do I have compassion for the homeless? Yes, but we need to look at the location of where the Abbotsford Community Services and BC Housing wish to put its facility.

ACS provides day care, some senior services and many people with

'

different types of disabilities also attend there. Transit also has a transfer place right in front. What is the safety of those people going to be like?

There is a rumour of an elementary school very close to this proposed site.

I have read the ACS and BC Housing brochure, but very little is said.

And please folks, the Christine Lamb Residence for women and their children is second stage, where this proposal is low barrier or first stage. Please do not confuse the two as they are two different places for two different causes.

The people who have businesses, their employees as well as those who shop downtown also need to be considered.

Many are concerned about their safety or seeing a really nice downtown going back to the way it was.

It is indeed a balancing act.

Insurance for everything No fault car insurance, when it was proposed, lots of people thought that it was impossible and ludicrous.

What about disaster coverage? None.

House insurance, if you have any, covers only what the Insurance Companies pick and choose.

Following recent disasters in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec many people lost their homes and some lost all of their belongings. House insurance did not pay because: Act of God. House and property insurances have to many clauses for: Do Not Cover.

When there is a disaster, who pays the bill?

We do, us the tax payers. Therefore, the B.C. Government should have an insurance in place to cover all of

its residents that file a tax return. It could be called: The B.C. All Coverage Insurance.

Minimum premiums of $100 for $100,000 coverage, need more coverage? Then $200 for $200,000 and so on.

Home owners would pay a lot less house insurance premium. Everyone that files a tax return would be insured. Low

income would be covered and their premium deducted from their tax rebate. Very little cost to the government as the infrastructures are already in place. The Minister of Finance (Hello Mr. de Jong) would collect over one million dollars a year.

We would all be winners.

Fatal crash kills woman Single vehicle accident occurred Tuesday night

An Abbotsford woman has died following a single-vehicle accident around 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

Police say a woman and man, both in their 40s, were driving in a vehicle that went off Clearbrook Road in the 3100 block and rolled over into a yard.

Police and ambulance responded to the accident and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The man, who police believe was driving the vehicle, was taken to hospital with minor injuries and has since been released.

Collision reconstructionists, the forensic identification unit and major crime detectives have responded due to the seriousness of the crash.

Police have yet to determine the cause of the accident, but Const. Ian MacDonald said they are considering all contributing factors.

Police are appealing to any witnesses to come forward.

Total of 19 shots were fired

From A5

At first glance, he thought it might be a gas leak and propped the door open for air flow, running to a man he thought was Schellenberg and pulling him by the feet to drag him out.

Then he looked around the room and realized it was something more sinister. He saw pools of blood by the heads of two of the motionless bodies. He took the wrist of one man to check for a pulse but found no signs of life, he testified, wiping tears as he recalled the grisly scene.

Norman told the court he left the suite without touching anything else, and told a neighbour and his wife to call 911.

Tracy Carothers said she first called only for an ambulance, but then called back to request all emergency services.

On Monday, the first day of trial, Crown prosecutor Mark Levitz delivered his opening statements, SCHELLENBERG contending that Corey Lal was the intended target on the day of the murders, and that the other five victims were killed to eliminate any possible witnesses.

Photos were shown in court of the victims lying in two groups of three, side by side in pools of blood, their heads covered with hoods.

Levitz alleged Johnston, Le and Haevischer were all part of the Red Scorpions gang who were aiming to control the local drug trade. Corey Lal was a rival drug trafficker who was operating on their turf, said Levitz, and when he didn’t pay up when demanded to do so by Jamie Bacon (who is also charged in the Surrey Six case, but will be tried separately), Bacon and Le ordered Haevischer, Johnston and a third person who can’t be identified due to a publication ban, to murder Corey Lal. All the victims were executed, said Levitz, each suffering at least two gunshot wounds, mostly to the head and neck. Levitz said two handguns were used in the murders, and 19 shots were fired.

Haevischer and Johnston both face six first-degree murder charges in connection with the deaths of all six victims, while Le has one first-degree murder charge related to Corey Lal's death. All three also face one conspiracy to murder charge for Corey Lal's death. All three pleaded not guilty Monday to each charge. Jamie Bacon will be tried separately at a later date on first-degree murder and conspiracy charges.

Notice of Permissive Tax Exemption Pursuant to Section 224 of the Community Charter, the Council of the City of Abbotsford will consider the following bylaws for adoption at the Regular Meeting of Council on Monday, October 7, 2013, at 7:00 pm, following the Public Hearing, in the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, BC: • Bylaw No. 2256-2013, “Athletic or Service Club Tax Exemption Bylaw, 2014”, • Bylaw No. 2257-2013, “Local Government Tax Exemption Bylaw, 2014”, and • Bylaw No. 2258-2013, “Not-for-Pro¿t Tax Exemption Bylaw, 2014.”

An Abbotsford author has been nominated for the Governor General’s Literary Non-Fiction Award.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge is scheduled to give a decision Nov. 27 on whether an Abbotsford man is criminally responsible for his sister’s murder.

Harmohinder Khosa, 43, admitted to killing his sister, Amarjit Khosa, 34, in March 2011, but his lawyer argued that Khosa is not criminally r e sponsible d u e to a ment a l disor- HARMOHINDER KHOSA der.

The Crown argued that Khosa should be found guilty under the law and serve a criminal sentence.

Khosa’s trial concluded last week in New Westminster.

Amarjit was found dead in her basement suite in the 32000 block of Austin Avenue in Abbotsford.

If Khosa is found not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder, he will have a hearing before the B.C. Review Board to determine whether he receives an absolute discharge, a discharge with conditions, or detention in a psychiatric hospital.

If he is found criminally responsible, he receives an automatic life sentence with parole eligibility set at between 10 and 25 years.

A class project at W. J. Mouat Secondary will tackle the question “What can we do to eradicate poverty in Abbotsford?”

Mouat vice-principal Vijay Manuel said the project will involve almost 30 students in a Grade 11 and 12 acting class.

In a process known as “problem-based learning,” the students will first discuss, develop and execute a plan to gather information. This could include doing online research, bringing in guest speakers or visiting service providers in the community.

They will then discuss their findings and come up with a list of recommendations, resulting in a presentation to a panel in mid-November.

Manuel said the presentation will be done in a creative way, as determined by the students.

The project panel includes groups such as the United Way, Abbotsford Community

Services, the school district, the Abbotsford Youth Commission, and the police and fire departments.

Manuel said the initiative will be documented by video every step of the way and will be

more dominant as the issue of homelessness developed in the community over the summer.

Manuel said the thought was that young people might offer alternative solutions.

“We (adults) think we have all the answers, but they have a different perspective … We want to hear from kids.”

Fine arts teacher Brian Billo, co-chair of the Mouat character committee, was approached to get involved, resulting in the involvement of one of his acting classes.

Mouat Secondary is known as a City of Character school, Vijay Manuel meaning it strives for the initiative’s six values – empathy, edited into a three-and-a-half- service, courage, responsibility, minute piece. respect and integrity.

Mission singer releases new CD Concert in Abbotsford on Oct. 19 Mission singer/songwriter Cathy AJ Hardy performs in a CD release concert in Abbotsford on Saturday, Oct. 19.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium (32315 South Fraser Way) and will support three organizations – Mennonite Central Committee’s End Abuse program, the Fraser Valley Women’s Resource Society, and Mark Centre.

Hardy is releasing her new album “I am she … a soul’s journey home.”

“The ‘I am she’ song is the essence of the woman who now knows that deep healing love and has been transformed,” Hardy said.

HARDY “This is my story. It is a very personal album in that all of the songs arise out of the story of my personal journey, but I trust that they are songs we can all relate to in our stories of transformation.”

Hardy’s own journey with hurt and hardship enables her music to resonate with others also experiencing difficulties. When her last album, Love Shines, was just being released, her 24-year marriage was coming to an end, leaving her devastated and heartbroken.

“I allowed myself these past two and a half years to process and heal the closing of a long-term marriage. I am so grateful for this journey and all the gifts that have been discovered along the way.

I waded through intense grief and the frightening realities of being alone,” she said.

Tickets are $15 and are available from House of James, King’s Music or online at cathyajhardy.com.

Music academy opens

The phone you want.

The network you can rely on.

A new free music academy in Abbotsford opened its doors on Oct. 1.

The Bakerview Music Academy (BMA) is located in Bakerview Church, 2285 Clearbrook Rd. The program starts with 30 children from under-privileged situations. They are offered a snack plus two hours of professional classical music instruction twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays).

All the children have the opportunity to learn one instrument – either the violin, cello or piano – and will sing in the choir.

The program is inspired by the “El Sistema” system in Venezuela and by the St. James Music Academy in East Vancouver.

The program in Venezuela currently has more than 350,000 children enrolled in free music instruction. In some cases, the kids attend four or five times a week.

Every Girl Matters Day Event organized by GirlKind The GirlKind Foundation in Abbotsford hosts the first Every Girl Matters Day on Friday, Oct. 11.

The event is being held in partnership with the Centre for Indo-Canadian Studies at University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), 33844 King Rd. GirlKind asked the provincial government to proclaim Every Girl Matters Day throughout B.C. in conjunction with the UN’s Day of the Girl to recognize girls’ rights and the unique challenges they face around the world.

A free celebration will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 11 at UFV, where Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong will present the proclamation for Every Girl Matters Day. Throughout October, GirlKind is holding a worldwide Every Girl Matters Photo Campaign, asking the public to participate in answering the question as to why girls matter.

SEKHON More information on the campaign is available at girlkind.org.

The GirlKind Foundation was formed by Deesh Sekhon of Abbotsford who previously held the Save a Girl campaign to collect clothing and personal hygiene items for a girls’ home in India.

This past summer, almost 1,000 items were sent to a different home in India, and more drives are planned in the future.

The organization received its charitable status from Revenue Canada this year.

Sekhon was inspired to raise awareness about the issues of gendercide and gender discrimination after viewing the documentary It’s a Girl.

The film was shot in India and China and tells the story of abandoned and trafficked girls not wanted by their parents in cultures where sons are prized.

United Way offers grants The United Way Fraser Valley has $90,000 available in grants for programs focusing on reducing poverty, reducing homelessness or ensuring the success of children six years old and under.

Funding will be distributed in April 2014. Any charitable organization in the Fraser Valley may apply for a grant to address one of those issues.

To be eligible, programs or projects must be preventive and be for a new project, the expansion of a program or to continue a currently funded program.

The application deadline is 4 p.m. on Nov. 15.

Applications for grants are available online at uwfv.bc.ca

under “What We Do.” In April of this year, priority grants were distributed to 14 local organizations for 15 different projects in the Fraser Valley.

Funded projects mostly focus on skills development, including for youth to maintain housing and for single mothers to assist with employment opportunities.

The Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley received two grants.

One provided funding for services to assist women in securing safe permanent housing.

The second provided group and individual counselling for women after experiencing trauma and violence in their lives or who are currently staying in one of their five housing programs.

My father enjoys retirement since he moved to Cedarbrooke Chateau Elmar RESIDENT

“I have more friends than I’ve ever had...”

Cedarbrooke Chateau is the perfect home. My personal suite is decorated with special mementoes and comforts of the house I shared with my wife before she passed away. The services and amenities at the Chateau lets me rest with ease knowing help, if I need it, is right here.

I enjoy working in the gardens, going for daily walks — in rain or shine — and making new friends. I have more friends than I’ve ever had and I truly enjoy speaking German with some of them.

I attend happy hour almost every afternoon with my friends, but my favourite celebration is Octoberfest at Cedarbrooke Chateau, when I can put on my favourite lederhosen, drink from my stein and dance to the festive music.

Mission has been my home since I moved here with my wife in 1954 from Germany, and the independent lifestyle and full service retirement home at Cedarbrooke Chateau will keep me in this community for many, more years.

Carlo ELMAR’S SON

“I can go away for the weekend and not worry...”

I like the changes in my dad since he moved to Cedarbrooke Chateau four years ago.

Dad stayed for about a year on his own when mom passed away, but it was tough.

Cooking, cleaning and looking after the house was more than he could handle.

We toured retirement homes and within no time of seeing Cedarbrooke Chateau, dad was convinced it was the place for him. After moving him in here, he never wanted to go back to his house — that’s how comfortable he is here.

The staff is amazing and they keep me in the loop if any issues arise from him.

They look after his dietary needs and with the many social events and outings available, he always has something to tell me when I visit.

I know he’s well cared for and content, and I can go away forr a weekend and not worry about it. It gives me a lot of peace of mind.

We should be proud we have this facility in Mission, and wee are so lucky to have a place like this when we need it.

Successful food drive

More than 300 volunteers in Abbotsford and Mission helped make the recent BC Thanksgiving Food Drive (BCTFD) a success in their communities.

Throughout the province, the drive collected an estimated 402,000 pounds of food for 50 local food banks.

The event involved flyers and donation bags being dropped off in neighbourhoods, with a request for residents to fill the bags with non-perishable food items and leave them on their doorsteps for pickup on Saturday, Sept. 21.

In Abbotsford, the BCTFD event included more than 270 volunteers providing over 450 hours of service to the community.

They visited some 10,200 homes, and collected more than 14,200 pounds of non-perishable food for the Abbotsford Food Bank.

In Mission, the event included more than 60 volunteers providing over 150 hours of service to the community.

They visited about 5,500 homes, collecting more than 7,900 pounds of food for the Mission Food Bank at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church.

Abbotsford Food Bank executive director Dave Murray and his Mission Food Bank counterpart John Poston said the agencies appreciate the muchneeded contributions.

A SALUTE TO OUR TEACHERS! October 5th is Annual World Teachers’ Day ...a day to celebrate teachers and the central role they play in guiding children, youth and adults through the lifelong learning process. Even though October 5th is a Saturday this year, every school day here in Abbotsford, in the classrooms, labs, libraries, performance spaces, gyms, fields, school grounds — and online — at our 46 schools, teachers are engaging students to learn, to think, to participate, to be good citizens, and to be active.

The Abbotsford Board of Education, Superintendent Kevin Godden and the School District Administration team want to take this opportunity to publicly recognize the efforts of our teachers throughout the Abbotsford School District. We thank and acknowledge them for their valued work!

FIREPREVENTIONWEEK According to the National Fire Protection Association, 92 per cent of all civilian structure fire deaths in 2011, the most recent year for which statistics are available, resulted from home structure fires.

Not surprisingly, kitchens are the leading area of origin for home structure fires. Forty-two percent of such fires, which peak during the dinner hours between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., began in the kitchen.

And while smoke alarms may not prevent fires, they can prevent deaths stemming from home structure fires. Three out of five reported home deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or homes with smoke alarms that were not in operation.

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO KEEP YOUR KITCHEN SAFE:

• Operate microwave ovens safely.

Always use hot holders or oven mitts to remove food from microwaves. Be careful when removing a wrapper or cover from microwaved food. Steam escaping from the container can cause burns.

• Take care of electrical cords. Avoid overloading electrical outlets with too many kitchen appliances.

Check electrical cords and plugs and discard them if they are damaged.

• Install working smoke alarms. Specialized alarms with a pause feature are available for the kitchen to prevent nuisance alarms. Test smoke alarms monthly. Follow manufacture’s instructions for maintenance information.

For more information visit the Fire Prevention Officers’ Association of B.C. website www.fpoa.bc.ca.

OCTOBER 6TH - 12TH, 2013

Fire Prevention Week 2013

Did you know?

• Keep cooking surfaces clean and clutter free. Keep appliances free of spills and grease that may catch fire. Keep curtains, dish towels, plastic containers and pot holders away from hot surfaces.

Cooking related fires are the leading cause of home fires in BC. Most are preventable.

Prevent kitchen fires

“Prevent Kitchen Fires” is the National theme for the 2013 Fire Prevention Week, which runs from October 6 – 12, 2013.

As Fire Chief of the Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service, I can assure you that the members both Career and Auxiliary are dedicated to providing support and service to you as a resident of Abbotsford during your time of emergencies.

A fire is not fun...but practicing fire safety can be. This year’s theme of “Prevent Kitchen Fires” underscores the importance of making residents of Abbotsford aware of the simple preventative measure.

If a fire happens in your home, do you know what to do? Taking the time now to plan your escape in the event of a fire could alleviate what might potentially be a family disaster. Plan two escape routes from every room and practice home fire drills. This preparation can make a difference in family members getting out alive. An ounce of prevention in this case will save lives.

I encourage each resident to take the time to be prepared and the Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service will be there to “Make a Difference”.

Have a fire safe year!

Don Beer, Fire Chief

Cooking fires are a leading cause of injury and death in Canada IF YOU HAVE A COOKING FIRE:

BURN INJURIES:

• Turn off the heat source.

Annually, 1.55 million North Americans suffer burn injuries.

42% of burn injuries in BC are caused by hot liquids or vapours.

Ignition of flammable liquids such as cooking fats and gasoline are major causes of burn injuries.

Children and older adults get severe burns at lower temperatures and in less time than adults.

Microwave Fires

Minor Burns

Stove Top Fires • Carefully slide a lid over the pot with an oven mitt.

• Turn off the element.

• Don’t remove the pot from the stove until cool.

• If the fire does not go out immediately, leave your home and call the fire department Oven Fires • Keep oven door closed.

• Keep microwave door closed.

• Turn off the microwave.

• Cool the burned area with cool running

water for at least 10-15 minutes.

Canada’s Oldest Fire Engine Builder

• Cool water reduces skin damage and pain.

• Never use butter, lotions, ice or ointments as these seal the heat in.

Severe Burns • Require immediate medical attention.

• If your clothes catch on fire: STOP where you are, don’t run. DROP to the ground, cover your face with your hands.

ROLL over and over until the fire is out

Building on a heritage of care and compassion To offer hope in the midst of life’s most challenging moments and to be a transforming influence in communities around the world is The Salvation Army’s mission, as it has been for nearly 150 years. Our staff and volunteers work tirelessly to serve, support and advocate for the individuals and families who come to us for assistance.

In an atmosphere of dignity and respect, accompanied by innovative programming, our goal is to gradually break down those barriers that loom so large. Lives begin to change as they are surrounded by a community of support and care.

The Salvation Army provides shelter to those who have none, rehabilitation and ongoing support for those who have lost control of their lives to an addiction, psychiatric and nursing support, proper nutrition in our Drop-In Café, our Meal Centre and local schools, seasonally appropriate clothing, housing advocacy, furniture and housewares from our Thrift Stores to equip a new home, education programs and opportunities, Kids to Camp, our Outreach Team, Senior’s and Care Givers Day Respite, Supportive Independent Living Suites for men, and many other services.

Because of your generous support over the last year The Salvation Army in Abbotsford has been able to accomplish the following: • Served more than 64,400 nutritious meals to men, women and children in the Centre of Hope Meal Centre • Provided over 4000 nutritious snacks to hungry students in community elementary schools • Attended several fires and emergency scenes to feed and

water Emergency Personnel and displaced individuals • Distributed more than 700 emergency food hampers • Provided more than 6800 bed nights of shelter for homeless men and women • Facilitated and sponsored 60 community kids to experience a life changing week at Summer Camp • Our nursing staff provided quick access psychiatric and medical support to countless individuals • Had staff members actively participating in ASDAC, City of Refuge Executive, Kiwanis, Rotary, The Chamber of Commerce, Victim Services, Extreme Weather Response Team, Chaplaincy of our Fire Services

We are so very thankful for you and count you among our blessings this Thanksgiving.

Your generosity enables us to continue providing the vital services and programs that offer

HOPE FOR WOMEN

practical assistance and hope to those we serve.

As a front line Social Service Provider, we are very involved in regular communication and meetings with City staff, Emergency Personnel and the Bylaw Dept. in terms of client care and establishing best practices when handling the complex social

challenges that exist in our community and establishing viable solutions, as we move forward.

In recent months and presently, we as a community have had to look at and discuss very complex and challenging issues including Harm Reduction and Homelessness. Though on many occasions the discussions have been somewhat controversial and at times the opposition significant, we have not been swayed from our Mission and Vision of serving our most vulnerable citizens with care and compassion, or from offering our participation and expertise on the issues that confront us.

We, as The Salvation Army, consider it a great privilege and honor to serve the people and communities of Abbotsford and Mission and are committed to doing so with excellence and integrity for the duration of the journey.

Should you wish for information on how you can partner with us to invest in the lives of people in our community, please call The Centre of Hope at 604.852.9305. If you or your colleagues, service club, classroom, church, etc. would like to inquire about having a Salvation Army representative speak to you or your group, please email the Abbotsford PR Director at dlowell@sacascade.ca.

If you would like to share a blessing by providing a THANKSGIVING MEAL for someone else this holiday season, your gift of $5.00 will provide a turkey dinner with all the fixin’s for one, or your gift of $20.00 will provide an entire family with a delicious and nutritious meal.

Thank you for helping us give hope and encouragement today… and every day.

Personal support programs, such as Life Skills Training, Job Club, and Chapel Time, as well as self-help groups are offered from time to time. Please contact The Salvation Army office to ask about current programs.

Family Thrift Stores The Salvation Army Family Thrift Stores provide a way for people in the community to purchase clothes, toys, books, and household goods at exceptionally low prices. This makes a big difference in how far a tight budget will stretch. The Thrift Stores generate funds to support many other ministries of The Salvation Army in Abbotsford and Mission.

Third-year pro Roman Horak will be among the more experienced players counted on to boost their production for the Heat this season. The team opens the AHL regular season on the road vs. the Lake Erie Monsters this weekend.

The Abbotsford Heat are embarking on the 2013-14 American Hockey League regular season with what will surely be one of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest teams, and local fans could be forgiven if they felt theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen this movie before.

Back in 2010-11, the franchiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second season in Abbotsford, the Heat went with an extremely youthful roster under then-coach Jim Playfair, and it was not a successful venture in terms of wins and losses. The team missed the playoffs, as youngsters being counted on to produce â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â anybody remember Bryan Cameron? â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a greater sense of optimism. With the NHL parent Calgary Flames rebuilding, the consensus is, the quality of prospects in Abby this fall is far higher than in 2010-11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a much deeper group, for sure,â&#x20AC;? said Heat head coach Troy Ward, who was an assistant under Playfair in 2010-11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is good as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve felt with our young players.â&#x20AC;?

FORWARDS The burning question facing the Heat is, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to put the puck in the net?

Over the summer, the team waved goodbye to its franchise leaders in goals (Krys Kolanos) and assists/points (Ben Walter), and they were not replaced by similarly seasoned scorers.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth noting, though, that even with the likes of Walter and Kolanos in the lineup last season, the Heat still struggled to score â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â their 171 goals ranked 29th out of 30 AHL teams. So thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not a lot of downside in giving the youngsters a shot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is definitely a different group than a year ago, and I think our scoring will be by committee,â&#x20AC;? Ward said.

At Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice, the Heatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nominal top line featured centre Max Reinhart flanked by speedsters Paul Byron and Roman Horak.

All three have offensive potential. But none of them, during their tenures with the Heat, have proven to be the type of bellwether scorers who can carry a team offensively over the course of a season.

Horak, for instance, was white-hot out the gate last fall, scoring 10 goals in the Heatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first nine games, but he mustered just six more over the next 50 games.

The third-year pro from the Czech Republic is still just 22 years old, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cognizant that on this young squad, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be looked upon as one of the key catalysts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to bring something more than I brought last year,â&#x20AC;? he acknowledged.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a large group of forwards heading into the first full pro seasons â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â including Corban Knight, Michael Ferland, Josh Jooris, Ben Hanowski and Markus Granlund â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â and it will be fascinating to see which of them take advantage Continued on A39

Joni Ortio, a 22-year-old Finn, struggled during an abbreviated stint with the Heat in 2011-12, but is coming off a terrific 2012-13 campaign in Finland’s top league.

Berra will get the start in the season opener on Friday vs. the Lake Erie Monsters in Cleveland.

on how quickly a trio of prized rookies – Patrick Sieloff, Tyler Wotherspoon and John Ramage – adjust to the pro game.

“Our job is to make sure these three young kids play all the time . . . and they will,” Ward said. “It’s a good group by committee, but we’re young. When the live bullets fly, there’s going to be some mistakes by the bottom three.”

GOALTENDING The Heat’s crease situation is unique in that both their goalies are Europeans trying to really establish themselves on this side of the pond for the first time.

DEFENCE The Heat’s defensive corps – potentially the team’s greatest strength – is an intriguing mix of experience and potential.

As for the former, Mark Cundari and newcomer Chad Billins are proficient point-producers at the AHL level, while Abbotsford native Dean Arsene supplies a nice mix of grit and leadership.

Additionally, Chris Breen will further bolster the blueline brigade when he returns from shoulder surgery.

ON A SET OF ALL SEASON OR WINTER TIRES

Thanks to their special compound, winter tires offer the elasticity required to ensure maximum grip throughout the cold season, regardless of the road conditions.

Summer tires can become hard when the temperatures fall below 7 degrees Celsius, thereby losing the flexibility needed to build up sufficient grip for braking, starting off, and cornering. Because of their greater suppleness in the cold, winter tires are able to interlock with the asphalt, snow, and ice, even at lower temperatures.

The Abbotsford Senior Panthers knocked off the W.J. Mouat Hawks 21-12 in Grade 10 football action last week.

The Hawks got off to a great start when Nelson Lokombo raced for a 75-yard touchdown on their first play from scrimmage, but the Panthers rallied behind a big game from Chase Claypool, who returned an interception 79 yards and caught a 50-yard scoring pass from John Madigan. Mike Sabourin

ALEXCIA MCKAMEY 2012-2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our angel, Alexcia Myanna McKamey, on Sept. 20, 2013.

During her short time here with us she touched many lives and was loved deeply by family and friends. She is survived by her parents, Jacqueline McKamey, and her step-father, Sean Gutteridge; Grandparents, Dave (Shelley) McKamey, and Shelley Bonderoff; Great Grandmothers, Marlene McLean and Barb Strachan; as well as numerous Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. A funeral service will be held at Northside Community Church on Oct. 5, 2013 at 2pm. (33507 Dewdney Trunk Rd., Mission, BC.)

BC Cancer Foundation Legacies accepted. 604.851.4736 or visit: bccancerfoundation.com

SCHMIDTKE BARNETT, Shirlie Alison (Richards) Mar 11, 1931 - Sept 22, 2013 Shirlie passed away peacefully at her home on Hatzic Lake with her family gathered around her. Shirlie was born in Vancouver, the youngest child of Nan and Russell Richards of West Vancouver. She is predeceased by her husband, Michael and her sister Virgina Bazilli, survived by her brother, Peter Richards (Barbara), her five children; Russell (Debbie), David (Karen), Penny (Scott), Robert (Rachelle), Nicola (Grant), 17 grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

As a child, Shirlie and her family moved to Trail in 1933 where she spent a very happy childhood and attended Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tadanac High School. Shirlie was a true adventurer, and will be remembered for her zest for life, excitement and fun.

In the 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Shirlie moved back to Vancouver, where she married her husband Michael and continued her busy life, working full-time while also raising her five children, but she never gave up the opportunity to find time for skiing and travel.

Shirlie loved her children dearly, and they are grateful to have had a mother that loved her children unconditionally.

Shirlie gave everything to her children, often at the sacrifice of her own happiness, knowing that by giving and seeing joy in others, she would achieve her own happiness.

These last 4-5 years had been difficult for Shirlie, but through it all, she held her head up, and battled through with an incredible amount of determination and courage. We are thankful that through this journey she was not alone. She was loved and surrounded daily by her five children, their families and by dear friends and supporters alike. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, October 5th at 4pm, at St. Brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church, 12109 Harris Road, Pitt Meadows, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Red Cross.

born on August 3, 1992 was Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BC Day baby that year. On September 24, 2013 at the age of 21, Stephanie passed away in a tragic car accident. Stephanie was an angel on earth who impacted countless lives with her enthusiasm, optimism and heart for her Lord that she shared openly and honestly. Stephie leaves behind her mom and dad Evan and Shelley Schmidtke; her older brother Kristopher Schmidtke; grandmother Lynn Smith; grandparents Paul and Darleen Schmidtke as well as aunts, uncles, cousins, many friends and the love of her life Nicholas Goertz. Stephie had a passion for people and was finishing her 3rd year in the Bachelor of Nursing program at MacEwan University. She had been looking forward to using these skills overseas to make a difference in helping others. A Celebration of Stephanieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life will be held on Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. at Trinity Baptist Church, 22550 Township Road, Sherwood Park, AB. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Stephanieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to the Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society of BC.
