The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is investigating human remains found on the banks of the Fraser River in north Abbotsford on Sunday.

At about 8 a.m. that day, a citizen was walking along the river in an area off Walters Street. The person spotted what appeared to be human remains entangled in some debris at the water’s edge.

Abbotsford Police Department (APD) patrol officers, forensic identification members and major crime unit detectives responded to the scene and attempted to extricate the apparently decomposed human remains for further examination and investigation.

Based on investigators’ observations, the circumstances were deemed to be suspicious and the APD contacted IHIT. An autopsy will be performed to determine if this is a homicide.

An abbreviated history of 20 political years Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand “It was 20 years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play” sang the Beatles so many years ago. That refrain sprang to mind when I was reminded Monday that “20 years ago today, Michael de Jong was first elected MLA.” Coincidental perhaps, the rhyming of those two phrases, and while the Beatles certainly soared to great heights, they lasted as a band for only 10 years. Michael de Jong’s career as a provincial representative for the various iterations of West Abbotsford began on Feb. 17, 1994 when he dashed the Social Credit Party’s hopes for revival and ended the 33-year political career of Grace McCarthy.

Not that the deciding factor on that

fateful night was huge. As I recall, initial returns had Michael ahead by only 32 votes, then it rose to the mid-50s and finally in a judicial recount the winning margin was 66. Not bad for a virtually unknown 30-year-old with but a couple of years as a school trustee under his political belt before tackling the mighty warhorse McCarthy.

Despite the narrow victory, de Jong’s win was significant in that it heralded the rise of the BC Liberal Party.

Gordon Campbell was also elected in a byelection on that night – his success strengthened by the fact he was running in an already established Liberal riding, the seat vacated for him by a previously elected member of the party.

In 1991, the Socreds were turfed in favour of the NDP, the Opposition seats filled by 17 MLAs from the upstart BC Liberals as a result of party leader Gordon Wilson pointing out during a televised leaders’ debate that the incessant bickering between Mike Harcourt and Rita Johnson was “why nothing ever

gets done in British Columbia.”

That remark led him and 16 other unknowns into the Legislature.

However, it wasn’t too long before dissension grew among the ranks and Wilson, along with paramour Judy Tyabji, was deposed.

When Campbell took possession of his

That remark led him and 16 others into the Legislature. seat as Leader of the Opposition in 1994, he leaned on the fledgling MLA from Matsqui to help keep the NDP’s feet to the fire.

Quick of wit, sharp of tongue, it wasn’t long before de Jong became a media darling for his pitbull antics in the Legislature. I don’t think he necessar-

ily ‘taught the band to play’, but he was certainly the conductor of Question Period.

After two years in Opposition, the 1996 provincial election was seen as the watershed moment for the BC Liberals. It wasn’t to be, and five more years on the other side of the house honed the debating skills of Michael, to the point that when the Liberals shattered the NDP in 2001 it was a given that he would be one of the party’s strongest and most effective cabinet ministers.

And so it went, first as Minister of Forests, then Labour and Citizen Services, Aboriginal, Attorney General, Solicitor General, Health (with perhaps one or two others I’ve forgotten) and now Minister of Finance. In fact, as I write this, he is standing the Legislature of British Columbia presenting a balanced provincial budget, one of only two across this great nation.

Not bad for a boy from Matsqui Prairie.

Sgt. Pepper would be proud. markrushton@abbynews.com 34375 Gladys Ave., Abbotsford, B.C. V2S 2H5

CMBs a step in wrong direction Re: Rash of Canada Post mailbox vandalism, Feb. 7 edition.

Sadly, the new year is going to look much like 2013, which had almost 5,000 community mailbox (CMB) theft-related incidents just in B.C. alone.

Can we ask why Canada Post is moving forward with their plans to put Canadians who aren’t already blessed with these “secure” mailboxes at risk by ending door-to-door delivery?

Switching to these mailboxes in this region, where half of the country’s mail theft takes place, is a big step in the wrong direction.

The Canada Post customer website states that community mailboxes are “a secure and convenient, one-stop pick up.”

I guess at least half of that statement is true, to the thieves anyway.

More than 1,200 litres of nonPCB transformer mineral oil were spilled after an incident Feb. 15, some of which went into a fish-bearing creek along Riverside Road.

Around 2 a.m. Saturday, residents in the area heard a loud bang and later that day found a BC Hydro transformer box had been hit and taken off its footing on Manufacturers Way at Riverside Road.

Abbotsford Police Const. Paul Walker said a semi-truck had

while booms remain in the ditch and waterway to collect oil.

BC Hydro contacted another company, Quantum Murray, to clean up the spill.

Damage to the transformer box is estimated at tens of thousands of dollars, along with the cost of city crews who were called out to sand the road.

Police are asking the public to report if they see a semi truck that is badly damaged. Call 604859-5225.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY ABBOTSFORD NISSAN

Q

The first month of the year is upon us once again, and the newly grown crowds at the local gym are in abundance. Congratulations on your will power. To assist you, I want to provide you with cooking method options that will hopefully help to add variety and keep some excitement in your meals. Let’s be honest, how many more dry pieces of toast, boiled eggs, or plain salads can you stomach before you lose your faith to the burger and fries that haunt you in your dreams?

Included in the top 10 most common New Year’s resolutions are lose weight, exercise more, and eat better. Although I am not a Dietician or a Personal Fitness Trainer, I can assist you in the kitchen.

Having a backyard barbeque is a popular event during the summer, but yearround it provides a great low fat cooking method. Grilled meats, fish, and even vegetables always taste great because of the distinctive flame-licked smoky taste and caramelization. Very little fat needs to be added to items to keep them from sticking and there are no pots & pans to clean up. A low-fat cooking spray applied to the cold grill before igniting can also ease the cooking process and help to make those wonderful grill-marks. One of the few health concerns is the amount of carcinogens when food is over-cooked over a flame. The blackened bits ideally need to be removed if this is a concern for you.

Poaching in a savory broth or wine is a great way to not only infuse flavour but also keep your chicken

or fish extremely moist. I find that poaching is very misunderstood. It is not the same as “boiling”. One of the last things I would want to eat is boiled chicken.

The culinary definition of poaching is to cook gently in water or other liquid that is hot but not actually bubbling, about 160 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Wine poached salmon with a dollop of seasoned no-fat sour cream is amazingly delicious and incredibly moist.

Braising meats is another way of reducing the amount of fat in your meal. “Braising” is the process of quickly browning your meat for flavour and then cooking covered with a small amount of liquid. Inexpensive tougher cuts of meat that are cooked using this “moist heat” method over a longer cooking time will become very tender. The liquid (wine, broth, beer, juice, etc.) helps to break down the unpalatable connective tissue found in these bargain provisions at the butcher’s counter. However, braising also works with leaner products like skinless chicken breast or pork loin - just don’t cook them as long.

We have only scratched the culinary surface, but hopefully this will aid you in bringing some enthusiasm to your kitchen adventures. Don’t forget about the abundant number of no-fat bottled dressings in your local supermarket. They are not only ideal on salads, but also use them as marinades, dips, and sauces with certain dishes to help add variety quickly... just remember “no fat” doesn’t mean “no calorie” - always read the nutrition labels.

Competitiveness fuels Granlund’s rise Hard-working rookie finds instant success with Heat DanKINVIG ABBOTSFORD NEWS

w

Abbotsford Heat head coach Troy Ward, quizzed as to what improvements his star pupil Markus Granlund might need to make in order to nail down full-time NHL employment, doesn’t miss a beat.

“Just a chance,” he said. “Nothing more, nothing less.

“He needs a chance, and he needs experience.

And how can you get experience until you get a chance? And then I think all those things will fall into place.”

Indeed, based on his remarkably consistent and prodigious offensive production in his first season in North America, the 20-year-old centre from Oulu, Finland appears ready to step in as soon as the NHL parent Calgary Flames have an opening.

Through 47 games, Granlund leads the Heat in goals (23) and points (42), and he’s already shattered the team’s rookie points record of 34, previously shared by T.J. Brodie (2010-11) and Dustin Sylvester (2011-12). He’s tied for the Heat team lead with eight power-play goals, but his +9 rating suggests he’s also effective at even strength.

Granlund is third in points among rookies and 13th overall, and he’s tops among AHL freshmen in goals. He also leads the league in shootout game-winners with three.

The Flames’ second-round selection in the 2011 NHL entry draft has been particularly hot of late, racking up seven goals and seven assists over the last nine games. He’s had six multi-point outings

Heat riding high in first place

words

from the

prez Ryan WALTER

A19

Hi everyone! Ryan Walter here again. I want to thank so many of you for your support of our local professional hockey team, the Abbotsford Heat.

What a season our team is having! Our home team stands first in the Western Conference with 69 points, and second overall in the AHL. In spite of this, however, our attendance at this point in the season, compared to last year, is down. Even so, our strong desire is to work for the citizens of Abbotsford to make up some of that lost revenue here in the spring.

The next stretch of eight home games will include some amazing hockey combined with some amazing entertainment.

• On Feb. 28 vs. the Grand Rapids Griffins, we will be offering our 3-2-1 ($3 beer, $2 hot dogs and $1 pop) deal.

• March 4 vs. the Texas Stars marks our School Day Game, with its 10:30 a.m. start.

• March 8 vs. the Chicago Wolves is Punjabi Night and 3-2-1 ($3 beer, $2 hot dogs and $1 pop) night.

• You can bring your dog on March 9 to our Pucks and Paws game, presented by Oly’s Pet Connection.

• On March 14 and 15, the Heat host the Canucks’ affiliate, the Utica Comets. (Get your ticket early, they will sell quickly!)

Our team is on the road in the east this week, but as you can see, the home games at the end of this month through March will be exciting!

See you at the games!

Learning English part of Granlund’s transition

From A18

during that span, and failed to register a point in just one game.

“Of course, it’s surprised me a little bit,” Granlund said, reflecting on his smashing debut on this side of the pond. “But I knew that I can play here and that I can be a good player.”

Granlund’s instant success is less of an eyebrow-raiser in light of the fact he spent the past two seasons playing against men with HIFK Helsinki in Finland’s SM-liiga, where he was second in team scoring in 2012-13 with 10 goals and 20 assists in 50 games.

The rap on Granlund as a young prospect was his foot speed, but he hasn’t struggled in the least to keep up to the pace of play in the AHL – in fact, he’s dictating it.

“I’ve never seen his foot speed as an issue,” Ward noted. “It just doesn’t behoove you to listen to a scouting report or listen to anything until you get somebody and you’re with them every day.”

Granlund’s rapid development has received crucial assists from teammates Joni Ortio and Max Reinhart.

Ortio, a goalie from Finland who is having a tremendous season in his own right, has helped his countryman (and former HIFK Helsinki teammate) adjust to North American culture off the ice. Granlund’s English was rudimentary when he arrived last fall, but he’s much more

comfortable conversing with media now.

“That was the biggest thing (in transitioning to North America) – English and everything like that,” he said. “But I think Ortio helped me a lot. Now I know what’s going on, and I’m even more comfortable.”

Granlund has forged a terrific chemistry with Reinhart, who has been on his left wing for over a

Of course, it’s surprised me a little bit.

But I knew that I can play here.

Markus Granlund month now. They’ve been joined in recent weeks by veteran sniper Blair Jones on the right.

“He (Reinhart) is a good player, and we think about the game the same,” Granlund analyzed. “We try to find each other, and we can both score and pass the puck. It’s fun to play with those guys.”

Granlund’s brother Mikael, one year older, is already a full-time NHLer at this point. The ninth overall pick in the 2010 draft split last season between the AHL’s Houston Aeros and the Minnesota Wild, and he’s established himself with the

Wild this season, registering five goals and 23 assists in 46 games.

Mikael is currently at the Sochi Olympics, and he’s been a fixture on Finland’s top line with Teemu Selanne.

Markus said he and Mikael generally chat two or three times a week during the season, and he’s enjoyed watching him play in Sochi.

“I’m mad because Canada beat Finland,” he said with a wry chuckle, referencing his nation’s 2-1 overtime defeat on Sunday. “But it’s fun to watch.”

The same could be said of Granlund himself – his high-end skill has been readily apparent.

But Ward has been most impressed with the centre’s tremendous competitiveness.

“He’s just a really competitive dude,” Ward said. “He doesn’t go off the rails like other young players, and he doesn’t have outside focuses like other players. You put all those things together over a period of time, and you get a lot of consistency.

“A lot of rookies are just young kids that are, just being truthful, into a lot of stuff that they shouldn’t be into. Their focus is friends and their focus is tweeting, playing video games – stuff that he (Granlund) quite frankly just doesn’t have over here. He’s just a hard-working guy who doesn’t know a lot of people – he just keeps his nose to the grindstone.”

Having fellow Finn Joni Ortio as a teammate has helped ease Markus Granlund’s transition to North America.

Putting a stop to bullying on Pink Shirt Day… Kerry Vital / Black Press

from home and cut all ties with his father and stepmother. Still, he struggled with being extremely introverted and emotional.

While he had dreamed of being a police officer for much of his life, he didn’t feel confident enough to act on that dream. At 33, he finally felt able to take that step and do what he loved after encouragement from an officer he met while playing baseball.

“I never acted on my dream because I truly believed it was just a dream,” he says. “I thought that dreams weren’t meant to be achieved.”

Milmine was moved by the 2011 suicide of Ontario teen Jamie Hubley, who killed himself after years of bullying for being gay and a figure skater, to start Bullying Ends Here, a website that tells Hubley’s story as well as his own. Milmine has travelled all over Canada and the U.S. speaking to students and encouraging them to contact him if they need help. In the presentations, he shares

Names such as Amanda Todd and Rehtaeh Parsons are sadly well-known to many Canadians. Both teens committed suicide after years of bullying at the hands of classmates.

On Feb. 26, Canadians will recognize Pink Shirt Day, a day devoted to preventing bullying and helping children and teens who are being victimized.

For some people, bullying hits very close to home.

Tad Milmine, now an RCMP constable, is one of them.

As a child, Milmine was bullied relentlessly by classmates and locked in the basement by his stepmother every day for 12 years. His father, an alcoholic, never tried to help him, even when Milmine’s stepmother verbally abused him.

“I always held out hope that one day an adult would see that I was in the basement and perhaps ‘rescue’ or ‘save’ me,” he says. “No one ever came.”

At 17, Milmine ran away

his own story and that of Hubley, and tells the students that he understands what it’s like to be an outcast, and that he too is gay, just like Hubley. He shares this information to point out that he is no different than the people listening to him in the audience.

“I never let my sexuality stand in the way of living out a dream,” Milmine

says. “I never let the negativity while growing up stand in my way.”

Milmine’s presentations are done on his own time and with his own money.

“I always wanted to ‘help’ people and today I am lucky enough to be in that position,” says Milmine.

“Youth need to know that nobody can help them if they don’t speak up. You have to share, have to ask

for help. Give us a chance to help.”

Sixty-four per cent of Canadian children have been bullied at school at some point, according to the Pink Shirt Day campaign, and 40 per cent of Canadian employees are bullied at the workplace on a weekly basis.

“Pink Shirt Day gets people talking,” Milmine says.

“People are talking about

UFV denied them, though, winning 58-54 in Langley on Thursday and 83-78 in Abbotsford on Saturday to finish at 17-5 and run their win streak to 14 games.

On Tuesday, the UFV men made their first appearance in the CIS national rankings at No. 10.

This week, the Cascades host the Lethbridge Pronghorns (15-7), the No. 3 seed from the Prairie Division, in a best-of-three playoff set. Games run Thursday, Friday and Saturday (if necessary) at the Envision Athletic Centre, with tip-off at 7 p.m. each night.

Looking ahead to the series, head coach Adam Friesen drew a parallel to the recent Super Bowl match-up which saw the Denver Broncos and their record-setting offence clash with the defensive powerhouse Seattle Seahawks.

It’s an apt comparison – Lethbridge boasts the top offence in Canada West (84.3 points per game), while UFV is second in team defence (66.1 points allowed per game).

The UFV women clinched first in the Pacific at 17-5, by virtue of 78-54 and 55-39 wins over the Spartans (5-17).

They also made a leap in the CIS rankings, from No. 7 to 5.

They have a week off before hosting the Calgary Dinos (13-9) next week (Feb. 27 and 28, and March 1 if necessary, 7 p.m. tip-offs).

The schedule break is fortuitous for the Cascades, who have a pair of key players injured in point guard Aieisha Luyken (ankle) and forward Kayli Sartori (concussion).

“If we were playing this week, we probably wouldn’t have either of those players,” head coach Al Tuchscherer noted. “We’re hoping to have both of them back.”

Pilots primed for playoffs Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

As the Pacific International Junior Hockey League playoffs begin, Abbotsford Pilots coach Jim Cowden faces a unique motivational challenge.

The Pilots are already guaranteed a berth to the Keystone Cup – the Western Canadian junior B hockey championship tournament – by virtue of the fact they’re hosting the event, April 17-20.

So, whereas in years past a PJHL championship was the first step in the journey towards the Keystone Cup – a bauble which the Pilots won in 2012 – a deep PJHL playoff run might be viewed as optional this time around.

But Cowden is confident that his core of leaders in their final season of junior eligibility will want to make the most of their last hurrah.

“We’ve got a lot of experience,” he said, alluding to a 20-yearold group that includes forwards Jarrett Martin, Braedon Monk and Brad Parker, defenceman Ryan Parmar, and goalie Zachary Station.

“They’re going to motivate themselves, and everybody else will follow, because they’re our leaders. We’ve just got to get by this first series, because it’s going to be a battle.”

That series, pitting the Pilots against the Ridge Meadows Flames, opened on Tuesday evening at MSA Arena, but the result was unavailable at press time. The best-of-seven set resumes on Wednesday at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge (8:30 p.m. start), and returns to MSA for Friday’s Game 3 (7:30 p.m.). Visit abbynews. com for a complete series schedule.

The Pilots (27-12-5, 59

points) finished second in the PJHL’s Harold Brittain Conference, 20 points ahead of the third-place Flames (1722-5). But despite the fact that his team won five of six head-to-head meetings this season,

A23

The Abbotsford Pilots face the Ridge Meadows Flames in what is sure to be a hotly contested first-round playoff series.

Cowden believes it will be a hard-fought series.

“They’re a good team, and we’re going to have to play very well to get by them,” he said, lauding Ridge Meadows’ speed up front and blue-collar attitude.

Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Heat weathered a nightmarish travel scenario last weekend in rather impressive fashion – they just ran out of gas in the end.

Coming out of the AHL all-star break, the Heat had to fly cross-continent to face the Charlotte Checkers.

But due to a snowstorm on the Eastern seaboard, their connecting flight out of Chicago was cancelled.

That forced the team to take a 20-hour bus ride from Chicago to Charlotte, and their Friday game was rescheduled to Saturday.

The Heat showed no sign of bus legs, though, winning 5-1 on goals from Markus Granlund, Blair Jones, Sven Baertschi, Ben Street and Ben Hanowski.

They got off to a terrific start to Sunday’s rematch, opening a 4-1 lead before the first period was up, with Granlund, Jones, Josh Jooris and Derek Smith scoring. But Charlotte rallied to win 5-4 in overtime, and ex-Heat forward Brett Sutter got the OT winner.

The Heat (32-15-5) still sit first in the Western Conference, and they continue the road trip vs. the Milwaukee Admirals on Friday.

“As a proud

British Columbian, protecting our coast is one of our greatest priorities.”

I’m Janet Holder, leader of Northern Gateway. This past December, my team came one step closer towards our goal of building a better pipeline.

After the most comprehensive, scientific review in Canadian pipeline history, the independent Joint Review Panel concluded that Canadians would be better off with Northern Gateway, than without it.

This endorsement came with 209 conditions that we must meet before we start operations. These conditions reflect the input of thousands of British Columbians and Canadians, and include many of the commitments we made in our submission. We are working towards meeting these conditions in the same way we’ve been working hard to meet the tough conditions put forward by the Province.

Many of these conditions centre around the preservation and protection of the diverse marine life that populate the coast of B.C. In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing the details behind a number of these conditions with you – like detailed emergency response and mammal protection plans.

We’ve consulted with experts from around the world to make sure that we’re doing everything possible to protect B.C.’s coastline.

We’re doing all this hard work because we are committed to building a safer, better pipeline.

Sincerely,

Janet Holder Leader of Northern Gateway

OVER 30 STORES IN CANADA

The Battle of Abbotsford, as the crosstown rivalry matches between the University of the Fraser Valley and Columbia Bible College have become known, lived up to its billing last weekend.

In a home-and-home set, impressive upsets were registered on both the men’s and women’s sides.

The CBC Bearcats men are going into the playoffs as the top seed in the PacWest conference, sporting a 16-8 record.

But the UFV Cascades, who will miss the playoffs with an 8-16 mark, illustrated the league’s incredible parity this season by knocking off the ’Cats in four sets on Friday at the Envision Athletic Centre.

When the scene shifted to CBC on Saturday, the Bearcats bounced back with a three-set win.

The story was similar on the women’s side – underdog CBC pushed the defending national champ Cascades to the limit on Friday, falling in five sets, but finished the job the next day, winning in four.

Both teams are headed to the playoff tourney, hosted by Capilano University of North Vancouver. The fifthplace Bearcats (7-17) face the No. 4 Camosun Chargers (12-12) in the quarter-finals on Thursday, while the No. 2 Cascades (20-4) have a bye into Friday’s semis and await the winner of Capilano and Douglas.

Peter Rudolph Geissler of Abbotsford, passed away peacefully on February 13, 2014.

He is survived by: his best friend, soul mate and love of his life, Cheryl, daughters Megan Little, Nicole Geissler (Kevin Burk) and son Scott Geissler (Christie), 7 grandchildren: Hannah Little, Telaya Geissler, Ethan Little, Kylee Geissler, Adam Burk, Ryder Geissler, and Andrew Burk, brother Alfred Geissler (Susan), sister Marianne Steiner (Joe), as well as many extended family members and cherished friends.

He was predeceased by his sister Christel and his parents Rudolph and Margarete Geissler.

Peter was born June 12, 1946 in Vanderhoof, BC. He lived in Lejac, Prince Rupert, Nanaimo and Lantzville, BC while growing up. Peter took up carpentry as his trade of choice in 1966

and never looked back. Peter married his soul mate in 1971 and in 1973 they moved to Prince George where they began their new lives, working together in the construction industry. Here they made lifelong friends and their family grew. In 1986 Peter moved his family to Abbotsford where they have resided ever since.

From building houses, to cabinetry, to furniture and even wooden locks and safes, Peter’s attention to the details and need for ‘doing it well’ was a trademark he stood by.

He was a proud supporter of Girl Guides of Canada over the years, from working on floats for the Canada Day Parade, to building cabins and repairing roofs at the local camp, to making thank you lanterns for guiders. Peter could even sell cookies with the best of them!

Peter’s greatest joy was when he was surrounded by his children and grandchildren, carving pumpkins, decorating gingerbread, reading stories, playing games, picnicking, and canoeing.

A Celebration of Peter’s Life was held Wednesday, February 19, 2014 at 1:00 pm at Henderson’s Funeral Home, 34537 Marshall Rd., Abbotsford, BC. In lieu of flowers donations to the charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.
