PILOTS IN FULL FLIGHT
Co-ordinators have never seen shelves so empty

Abbotsford News
In the 15 years that Dave Murray has served as co-ordinator of the Abbotsford Food Bank, he has never seen things look so dismal. Last Friday, Murray headed out to order $15,000 worth of beans, soup, Kraft Dinner and peanut butter because the food bank was out of all those items. “This is stuff we never run out of,” he said. Murray said the agency is also in very low supply or out of other staples such as pasta and rice. The Friday order was expected to arrive Tuesday, but may only last one week. With the holiday season approaching, Murray is concerned about having enough food to go around. “We’ve never, ever been in this situation – not like this...” he said. The food bank currently serves about 3,000 people each month. It operates as the Abbotsford Christmas Bureau at this time of year, providing gifts and food hampers for families in need. At the food bank’s Progressive Way warehouse, most shelves are either bare or piled high with empty boxes – nearly 2,000 of them – awaiting food that has not yet arrived. “I’ve seen it low in the summer, but not ever like this,” said the food bank’s Lynden Pennell as he surveyed the Continued on A3

Police investigating sexual assault
Thank you for helping us help others.
Woman was able to push attacker off balance and run out of Mill Lake Park Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
Police are investigating after a sexual assault in Mill Lake Park was reported last week. On Thursday, Nov. 20 at 10:30 p.m., a 42-year-old woman left her residence and went for a walk, according to an Abbotsford Police Department news release. She was walking southbound along Bourquin Crescent West when she noticed a man walking behind her in the area of the bus exchange. The man moved ahead of her and entered the Mill Lake boardwalk. Moments later as she was about to pass another entrance to the boardwalk, the man jumped out and grabbed her from behind while pulling her into the park, according to police. A struggle ensued and the victim was grabbed, groped and struck by the assailant. The victim was able to push the attacker off balance which allowed her to run out of the park. The suspect did not follow
her. The victim reported the incident the following day. The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, 30 to 40 years of age, 5’9” tall wearing dark track pants, white running shoes and a dark hoodie with a circular design on the front. The man’s face had stubble on it and there appeared to be short dark hair under his hoodie. The Major Crime Unit of the Abbotsford Police Department is investigating this sexual assault. APD Const. Ian MacDonald said police are continuing to work with the victim and are hopeful it will result in a composite sketch that can be released. He said since the initial report on Friday, police have “deployed additional resources in and around Mill Lake Park.” Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the APD at 604-859-5225 or ALEX BUTLER Abbotsford News text us at 222973 (abbypd) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800- Police are investigating a sexual assault that occurred near the entrance to Mill Lake Park off Bourquin Crescent West. 222-8477.

scene. Abbotsford’s Food Bank isn’t the only one feeling the pinch this year. “I was in contact with a couple of other food banks, and they’re saying the same thing,” said Huw Franklin, the food bank’s manager of food distribution. Murray said although community support continues to be as strong as ever, the higher cost of living has meant that people are able to give less with their money than in
the past. For example, he said an annual food drive held in September by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints last year collected about 15 pallets of food. This year, they donated 10 pallets, despite having expanded their collection to more homes. With each pallet holding 24 boxes of food, that meant 120 fewer boxes this year. Murray said those five fewer pallets would have translated into 10,000 fewer cans of soup.
The economic situation also means that clients are not able to stretch their money as far, creating an even greater need for the food bank than ever before. Murray said food items currently needed are: pasta, pasta sauce, vegetables, canned meat, rice, canned fruit, beans, chunky soup, small canned soup, Kraft Dinner and peanut butter. Cash donations are also being accepted for the Christmas Bureau, with this year’s fundraising goal set at $850,000 – the cost of keep-

No regular inspections for acupuncturists Practice is self-regulated like other health professions in B.C. Tyler OLSEN
Annual Open House and Salvation Army Fundraiser Sat. Nov. 29th and Sun. Nov. 30th
Abbotsford News
Regular inspections for acupuncturists are “not feasible,” according to the registrar of the organization that oversees the practice in British Columbia. The Fraser Health Authority (FHA) is still trying to contact more than 1,000 people who may have received treatment from Duan (Deborah) Hu at the Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Centre on McCallum Road over the course of nearly a decade of operation. The centre was closed earlier this month after a joint investigation by FHA and the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of British Columbia (CTCMA) revealed several problems, including irregularly changed sheets, poor record keeping, a lack of a regular cleaning schedule and the improper storage of needles. Those needles were stored in open receptacles and had expired in 2006. Investigators could not confirm new needles were being used. The investigation was prompted by a “community complaint,” according to FHA medical health officer Dr. Michelle Murti. The clinic has been practising at its current location since 2005, and FHA has urged all patients to get tested for HIV and Hepatitis B and C. Because of poor record keeping, Fraser Health cannot be sure of the exact number of patients affected. The Health Professions Act gives the CTCMA the power to regulate acupuncturists and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners. Those practicing in B.C. must pass written and practical exams and participate continuing education. But unlike in Ontario, where acupuncture is classified as a “personal service” (alongside tattooing, body piercing, electrolysis, and pedicures) and subject to regular inspections, in British Columbia the public is tasked with the duty of reporting any problems. CTCMA registrar Mary Watterson said the college is diligent about following up on any complaints, but doesn’t have the ability to regularly inspect the 1,600

In Ontario, acupuncture is classified as a “personal service” (alongside tattooing, body piercing, electrolysis, and pedicures) and subject to regular inspections. practitioners it oversees. “It’s not feasible resourcewise,” she said. “There are limits to what you can do.” In B.C., acupuncture and TCM is classified as a health profession, alongside a range of other health occupations, including dental hygiene, denturism, nursing, psychology. All are self-regulated by colleges trusted with ensuring health standards are followed. “I don’t know of any of the health professions that do regular inspections of all their members,” Watterson said. She said community reporting of problems has proved to be an effective way to ensure standards are upheld and retain the public’s trust. “All the professions have problems,” she said, pointing to a dentist found to be practicing without a licence. “We’re here to promote safe and effective treatment … If a member of the public has a concern, then we look into it.” Asked about the regulation that governs acupuncturists,

when they do it behooves us to do due diligence and act swiftly and responsibly and effectively to resolve the issues.”
Murti, with Fraser Health, said Hu has been “very compliant” in working with the health authority to develop proper health practices. Once a re-inspection is completed, FHA will lift its closure order. Hu will remain suspended from the CTCMA until she completes six steps, including completion of a safety course and providing documentation that her clinic is properly disposing of needles and other waste.

Benefits of shopping local Many Canadians heading down to the U.S. to take advantage of Black Friday sales probably think it’s no big deal to shop outside the country. After all, many of the stores at local malls are U.S.-based chain stores anyways — really, what difference does it make to head south? Well, the truth is, taking your hardearned dollars out of the country does hurt Canada and here’s why: jobs and taxes. Dollars that stay in Canada keep Canadians employed. It’s that simple. If you spend in Washington, you are keeping Americans employed. But your fellow citizens here in Abbotsford need jobs, too, and Canadian retailers are employing your kids, your neighbours’ kids, and moms, dads and grandparents of kids who live here. These jobs enable your neighbours to pay taxes, which keeps our social welfare safety net, including public health care, intact. If that doesn’t convince you to shop local, here are a few more reasons:
• Shopping diversity: Small business owners offer unique products that you can’t get anywhere else and our marketplace would be poorer without them. By shopping at small local stores, you will enrich the marketplace and ensure there are more interesting places to buy goods in your neighbourhood. • Price check: There are some products available in the U.S. that are cheaper but many others, such as electronics, for example, are basically the same price in the Lower Mainland as they are in, say, Bellingham, especially once you figure in the dollar difference. Other issues to consider are the environmental benefits of driving less and keeping your carbon footprint small. Not only will you be putting your dollars to work in a way that provides economic spin-offs for your community, you won’t have to sit in a border lineup. Now that sounds like a good deal. – Black Press
Who needs gifts when you have friends? Mark
Rushton On the
Other Hand There comes a time in your life, and in this instance it appears once a year, when you are challenged with the request, “What do you want for your birthday?” and you have no answer. In my case, I’ve had so many of them and through those years have accumulated so much stuff I don’t need anything else, unless of course it is very expensive, in most respects frivolous, and way out of the budgetary constraints of anyone interested enough to consider such generous gifts. So it was last week during the gift suggestion phase leading up to my writing this on Nov. 25. All I really want on my annual recognition of growing older is to be fit and able to experience another, 12 months hence, and preferably a few more following that.
I was however, after stumbling downstairs for my first cup of coffee, smiling at the handwritten “Happy Birthday Mark” message placed before the machine. Then my morning routine kicked in: let the dog out, retrieve my daily newspapers from the gate box; read them in the garage while indulging in my (so far not) life-shortening habit of smoking, and enjoying that cup of coffee. When time came for a second dose of caffeine, I also gathered up my phone to check for incoming messages, and there was revealed, like it or not, the incredible reach of social media. My email box was filled with messages, most of them due to the one who gave me the handwritten greeting, posting on Facebook my annual recognition of birth, from many of my Facebook friends. Obviously in this world of instant information, very little goes unnoticed. Those kind words from many friends, relatives and others who follow Facebook were as good a gift as I could ever want or ask for. My only question is, what are you all
doing on Facebook so early in the morning? Prior to social media, everyone read newspapers or switched on the radio or TV to find out what was going on. Today most information is gathered through social media: FB, Twitter,
I also gathered up my phone to check for incoming messages, and there was revealed, like it or not, the incredible reach of social media. Instagram etc. Which, amazingly, does provide a vast amount of often interesting and usually entertaining stuff. But in many ways it is like cocktail party chitchat – quick and brief, a wink and a nudge, then move on. There is little that is in depth, even more rare a quote or two (or YouTube video link) about the ‘topic de jour’.
Then again, perhaps that is what “social” media is all about – simply being in contact, on an almost instantaneous basis, with friends, sharing what makes you smile, “liking” what they do, say or share, and maintaining a face of friendship on your phone or computer. In the old days, someone moved away and I lost touch. Today I can follow through Facebook a friend’s transition from grieving spouse to a new life as a first responder, watch through posted photos her daughter grow up, share with an old friend his journey from advertising sales to the ministry. And from my end, those who are “friends” on Facebook can personally enjoy, or suffer, my occasional posts or pictures. So thank you Facebook, and my many friends, for giving me a birthday gift that can’t and won’t ever be bought in stores or on-line – continued friendship, often from a distance that only the Internet can bridge, and your genuine best wishes. They are beyond gifts, and I am grateful. markrushton@abbynews.com

Thank you to Climate change exists – so deal with it Mayor Banman Candidates who lose elections tend to fade away. In the case of our current mayor, Bruce Banman, that is a pity. He has much to offer. He should be on council.  Mayor Banman has served this city very well. In dealing with the hockey contract, hiring an outstanding city manager, reducing senior staff, reducing various permit application waiting times, holding taxation in line, and in various other matters he has served Abbotsford well. Of course, he could not solve all of the city’s problems. Some decades ago, when two not very impressive party leaders were candidates for the U.S. presidency, one witty commentator observed that American voters faced “the evil of two lessers�. On Nov. 15, Abbotsford voters faced “the blessing of two greaters�. Only one could win. A very competent and good man won. I wish him much success. I am optimistic that he will do very well. A very fine and good mayor did not win. I also wish Mayor Banman much success in his future ventures. Thank you, Bruce! This city is much indebted to you. You will be greatly missed.  John H.

demic) articles on climate change published between 1991 and 2011 found that 97 per cent agreed that humaninduced climate change is happening. Fletcher suggests that global average surface temperature trends over the past 18 years disprove climate change. He fails to mention that 2014 is set to be the warmest year on record and that the 30 years from 1983-2013 were the warmest in the past 1,400
years. It is time to stop talking about whether climate change exists and time to start admitting that according to our values and beliefs, we differ on how we should respond to the problem. Perhaps Fletcher’s “religious zeal� for the natural gas industry prohibits him from “believing� in climate change. Vivian Bertrand, Abbotsford

Townline Hill conflict escalates Incidents become more severe, say police Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
DID YOU KNOW? 66% OF CANADIANS BELIEVE THAT CHARITIES ASK FOR MONEY WHEN THEY DON’T REALLY NEED IT.
~ MUTTART FOUNDATION: TALKING ABOUT CHARITIES
The number of incidents involving two groups of young men in the Townline Hill area of Abbotsford isn’t increasing but the severity is, according to local police. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said the conflict, first reported by police in July, has escalated from acts of vandalism and mischief – such as keying cars and smashing widows – to incidents such as arson. MacDonald pointed out two specific examples of car fires that had been deliberately set in the driveways of people identified as being involved in the ongoing dispute. One took place at about 4 a.m. on Oct. 20 on Westridge Place, where a Lincoln vehicle was set on fire and required crews to extinguish it. The second was at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 22, when a fire was set beneath a Hummer on Kingfisher Drive, but the blaze extinguished itself before spreading. In both cases, MacDonald said there was the potential for

VIKKI HOPES Abbotsford News
A sign in a west Abbotsford neighbourhood indicates that a security camera has been installed. the fires to spread to the homes and cause serious injury or death. “That’s not the same as doing a burnout on someone’s lawn or ordering 50 pizzas to someone’s house or keying a car,” he said. MacDonald said police are also concerned that the two groups are congregating in different areas – such as malls and workplaces – and on a couple of occasions there have been minor vehicle collisions involving the two sides. He said police are continuing to treat the matter – which they refer to as the “Townline Hill conflict”
– as a high priority. “We’re very concerned. This has not been an issue that has gone away or has been lowered from its priority by the police.” MacDonald said police are continuing to meet with family members of the two opposing sides and step up enforcement in the area. The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) reported in July that there had been more than 25 incidents since May 11 involving two groups of men – ages 15 to 25 – and this had resulted in thousands of dollars in property damage.
He did not have figures for the number of incidents that have been reported recently, as there is some grey area as to what situations are directly related to the conflict. In mid-August, the APD had security cameras installed on two different streets in the area that had been identified as the “hot spots” for much of the activity. Those cameras are still in place, MacDonald said. It has not yet been confirmed whether the fatal shooting of Harwin Baringh, 18, is related to the conflict. Baringh was found dead in his vehicle on Oct. 2 on Sparrow Drive – not far from the area involved in the Townline Hill conflict. The matter is still under investigation by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, and no charges have been laid. Anyone with information about the conflict is asked to call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604859-5225 or text abbypd (222973).

Abbotsford students making a difference for local homeless Student-run Youths Care gathering donations of practical items for those in need Paul ESAU Abbotsford News
When Rachel Bae began hearing stories about Abbotsford’s homeless population on social media and the local news, she felt helpless, but compelled to do something. What could she, a student at MEI Secondary, do to help solve a care and housing issue that had baffled her city for years? After talking it over with her friends, Bae accepted that she didn’t have a miracle cure, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t be part of the solution. Bae, together with friends and contacts from other secondary schools in Abbotsford, decided to found Youths Care, an organization dedicated to finding practical ways to support the home-
less community. Run entirely by students, Youths Care is currently trying to raise donations of practical items to be distributed during January and February. The organization has a loose partnership with the Abbotsford Food Bank, which will help mentor Youths Care members in their interactions with the homeless. Youths Care currently includes just under 20 student members from MEI, W.J. Mouat, Yale, Abby Senior, and Abby Christian. Some, like Hannah Los, discovered Bae’s ideas on the MEI 2015 grads’ Facebook page, while others connected with her through an inter-school leadership program. Bae led an open rally to raise support on Nov.
18. at the Clearbrook Library, and has been contacting local businesses in pursuit of donations. “I think the biggest element was choosing to take initiative,” said Bae. “The people that are on board are already part of many groups. They like to take initiative, and I
found that we could easily plan something together. By doing this I thought that we could challenge ourselves.” So far Youths Care has collected food and hygiene items from a drive organized at MEI, as well as from Trinity Global Evangelical Church and a local soccer team. As well,
the Abbotsford Dental Group, Novo Dental Centre, and Montrose Dental Centre have all contributed toothbrushes and other supplies to the cause. Youths Care is run by Rachel Bae, Hannah Los, Jennifer Markin, and Jane Kim, and can be contacted at YCOAbby@gmail.com.

City of Abbotsford work crews were called out Friday morning in Abbotsford to deal with a spill at the McDonald’s restaurant on Whatcom Road. A garbage truck that was lifting a container at the restaurant blew its hydraulic line before 8:30 a.m., spraying biodegradable vegetablebased fluid across the parking lot. A pump truck was called out to handle the spill, and crews dumped sand across the parking lot.

Indecent act charges dropped
A13
Fountainview Academy Orchestra and Singers are eager to share an all-new Christmas musical production to become a new DVD release in 2016: O Holy Night. Don’t miss their premier, live, presentation!
Accused of bothering women on bus Charges have been dropped against an Abbotsford man who was charged with sexual assault and two counts of indecent acts in May. Kristopher Wayne Andrie’s charges were dropped during his trial, which began Oct. 30 in Abbotsford provincial court. Andrie, 23, was arrested in May after police received a report saying that an unruly man was bothering young women on a transit bus. Andrie had been ac-
cused of approaching two 23-year-old women and making inappropriate comments while touching himself. He was also accused of grabbing the hip of one of the women. He was charged with sexual assault and two counts of indecent acts. Andrie said he was not guilty of those offences, and the Crown dropped the charges after witness testimony in court didn’t match with what the police report indicated.

Touring far and wide and stopping to share a benefit concert to help bring food to the hungry in Abbotsford is not at all odd. Especially if you know that these young people have as much to do with food as they do with music! Here’s how: Fountainview Academy is built on the philosophy that education is not complete unless it benefits each student, mentally, spiritually, socially,
and physically. These students have training in real-to-life experiences that involve tending acres of certified organic carrots, large orchards, greenhouses, and acres of a wide variety of vegetables. Other areas for real-life work experience also exist, but food-related opportunities employ most students. Working the soil has a way of making the food on the table in their cafeteria seem more real. Onions, potatoes, beets, cabbage, kale, basil, garlic, squash
and just about anything you can hope to put on the menu has been grown in the school garden this year. Food. It’s a part of life that students of Fountainview Academy understand more than most—and they love it. There is so much more to tell you about these young people. Best of all is to speak with them in person. So, get your tickets—don’t miss it when they sing the story they love—O Holy Night.

Order made to determine if man not criminally responsible for standoff More than 20 shots fired during June standoff use of a firearm, possession of a firearm dangerous to the public, intentional discharge of a firearm, unlawful discharge of a firearm and two counts of uttering threats. Korelus has admitted to the circumstances at the core of the case. On June 3 he holed up in a bedroom in his mother’s Bourquin Crescent East townhouse with several firearms, including a restricted hand-
Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
The young man who discharged more than 20 gunshots during a four-hourlong standoff in June will undergo a court-ordered assessment to determine if he is not criminally responsible because of a mental illness. Justin Korelus, 23, has pleaded not guilty to seven charges, including assault with a weapon, careless
gun, a shotgun and a rifle. When police arrived, he threatened to kill anyone who entered his room. Later, he fired at least 20 rounds with the rifle, through the walls of the room and out the window of the townhouse. No one was injured, but three other townhouses in the complex were struck by gunfire, and bullets were found in a living room, a bathroom and a child’s
bedroom closet. Korelus eventually surrendered and was arrested. He has been held in the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital since. While the acts have been admitted, the court is now trying to determine whether Korelus is criminally responsible, or whether a mental illness prompted his actions that day. In asking for the order on Friday in Abbotsford
provincial court, Crown counsel Ross McLeod said Korelus spoke to himself, made nonsensical remarks and showed signs of illness before, during and after the stand-off. He also cited a report by Christopher Robertson, a psychologist at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital, which said: “Mr. Korelus presents with symptoms consistent with an unspecified psychotic disorder.”
“There is substantial evidence that the accused’s mental health is seriously an issue and in doubt at the time of the offence, leading up to the offence and following the offence,” Judge W.G. MacDonald said in agreeing to make the order. The report will be conducted over the next months and the parties will return to court on Dec. 18.

using a prohibited firearm. Five other charges – including uttering threats and possessing a prohibited firearm – were stayed. The Abbotsford robbery occurred on Feb. 12 of this year, when Morton used a sledgehammer to break through the window of the TD Bank at about 7:30 a.m. Employees were in the business, but the bank had not yet opened to the public. Morton demanded money, and employees contacted police, who already had several units in the area, including an unmarked car less than 100 metres from the business. An officer who saw Morton fleeing with a bag over his shoulder arrested him on site. Morton was found in possession of a handgun and an assault rifle. The Langley robbery was committed on Dec. 20, 2013, and the one in Surrey took place Feb. 4, 2014.

Mayhew sentenced to more jail time
Vikki HOPES
Abbotsford News
An Abbotsford man who was sentenced in April 2013 to 10 months in jail for dealing drugs received another sixmonth jail term on Nov. 18. Russell Jordan Mayhew, 27, pleaded guilty in Abbotsford provincial court to two counts of assault, possession of a prohibited weapon, assault with a weapon and breaching his bail conditions. Mayhew was arrested June 27 for the weapons charges and was released on bail three days later, according to provincial court records.
He was then wanted by police in connection with an Aug. 16th break-in, resulting in the Abbotsford Police Department’s emergency response team arresting him on Aug.
27 in the 2000 block of Sandalwood Cres. Police initially thought they were dealing with a “barricade situation,” but Mayhew later surrendered. He has been in cus-
tody ever since. Mayhew’s jail term will be followed by three years of probation. Police have previously referred to Mayhew as “gang-involved.” He was arrested three times in
a five-month span in 2012. At the time of his sentencing in April 2013, Mayhew was also given a three-year driving prohibition and a 10year firearms ban.
His criminal record includes charges and convictions for driving while prohibited, resisting a police officer, break and enter, assault and possession of a controlled substance.

An anti-pipeline protester yells at police at the line signifying the injunction area on Centennial Way in Burnaby on Saturday.
APD officers part of Burnaby Mountain crowd control team Integrated team consists of members from various forces Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
Abbotsford Police Department (APD) officers seen taking part in crowd control measures during a public protest on Burnaby Mountain against Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion plans are there
as part of an integrated policing unit, police say. Several people online have remarked on the visible presence of APD officers at the protest, which has received much press coverage over the past week. APD Const. Ian MacDonald
said the officers at the scene are part of the Lower Mainland District Integrated Tactical Troop. The unit has 130 members from both the RCMP’s Lower Mainland district and from various municipal police agencies, including the APD. Continued on A23

“They get deployed to a variety of incidents,” MacDonald explained. The unit provides crowd control, and takes part in largescale search and neighbourhood canvassing operations, among other duties requiring a substantial police presence. Call-outs are co-ordinated by the RCMP Lower Mainland District’s emergency response team. Any contributing agency, including the APD, can request assistance from the tactical troop, MacDonald said. Dozens of protesters have been arrested on Burnaby Mountain since police moved in last Thursday to clear activists who blocked Kinder Morgan’s oil pipeline survey crews. As of Monday, more than 70 had been arrested – some charged with civil contempt of court for violating a court injunction and others briefly detained and released. Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. John Buis said two may face criminal charges of assault or obstruction but added police “continue to facilitate peaceful and lawful protest.” Workers on Friday began drilling two test holes into the mountain to determine whether a tunneling route for the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline could avoid existing Burnaby neighbourhoods. Besides the civil disobedience, the City of Burnaby and its council are engaged in court battles aimed at thwarting the project by refusing access. “I don’t think this is going to be over quickly,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said. Burnaby is in federal court challenging Trans Mountain’s authority granted by the NEB to override city bylaws and it also wants the B.C. Court of Appeal to grant Burnaby an injunction barring the Kinder Morgan crews from the conservation area after a lower court judge refused.

Protesters march up Centennial Way to the injunction zone protecting survey crews from Kinder Morgan drilling soil and rock samples on Burnaby Mountain. Vancouver are among the local governments that have filed as intervenors. Corrigan said the federally granted authority to supersede local cities could result in all sorts of fed-
erally regulated bodies – not just pipeline companies but also port terminals, airports, railways and telecommunications firms – gaining the ability to trump local land-use decisions.
“We are extremely concerned,” he said. “The issues are so much bigger than this incursion in a park on Burnaby Mountain.” -with files Jeff Nagel

I received an interesting letter from a local reader. She writes about going to a recent Diwali function in Mission and
describes that 99 per cent of the Punjabis were rude. She describes that people were blocking her view and had no
concern for others. She also says that no one should be allowed to come to this country unless they speak one
of our official languages. She also talks about how Punjabi children just entering school cannot speak English properly
or do not behave, and the parents pay no attention to what the teachers say. At the end of her letter
she says she has many Punjabi friends and they all agree that most of the Punjabis have no manners and don’t

Trapped within narrow-mindedness

know how to behave properly. Well, enough said. I am Punjabi and I’m very proud to be one. I am not denying, we Punjabis don’t have any issues to overcome, like any other community group, but to say 99 per cent of of us are rude is the farthest from the truth and statistically incorrect. I do agree, we have many people that cannot speak the English language, but that doesn’t define us as Canadians. Punjabis are noted to be one of most generous people on the planet, who donate annually to many charities. I posted this letter on my Facebook to gather a community response and many agreed that the Punjabi community is always willing to help to make our community a better place. You cannot judge a few, for many. This is the one of the difficulties of living in a multicultural community. People often get trapped with this narrow-mindedness and can’t see that not everyone is the same and shouldn’t be painted with the same brush. Some thought I shouldn’t respond to her, but I believed that it was important to bring this discussion forward and create a level of understanding in a respectful manner. That’s how we’re going to see change, not by hiding it in a corner of darkness. Cycling4Diversity executive co-ordinator Anne-Marie Sjoden said: “ I had the opportunity to visit a couple of the Punjabi schools, during our ride and each and every student spoke very good English. The teachers had amazing comments about their students. A very good friend is a principal at a Punjabi school. He has never said there are problems with kids not knowing English. In fact he has said quite the opposite and told me that the parents are very involved. I would Continued on A25

have to disagree with the comment about 99 per cent of the Punjabi community being rude. I have always felt very welcomed at the temple.” Kevin Francis said: “In 2003, the human genome project came to what should have been a staggering conclusion: we are all related. I know from experience that adapting to a new cultural milieu is difficult without having to live up to arbitrary standards, indeed that’s why we, as a country, support multiculturalism; but integration cannot be achieved upon a designated schedule. Each one of us learns at our own pace. Let’s not fall into the trap of intolerance because of cultural ignorance. It spawns an all too slippery slope that makes us forget what Dr. Francis Collins said at the end of the human genome project: indeed there is but one race, the human race.” After reading the strongly worded letter it strengthened my belief in Safe Harbour training for people who don’t recognize diversity in their communities, said Rick Rake, Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) coordinator for Mission Community Services Society’s four-member Settlement and Integration Department. “For anyone sharing these kind of beliefs, I challenge them to check out the Safe Harbour, Respect for All, website atwww.safeharbour.ca,” said Rake, who has witnessed far too many breaches of positive relationships with people who are different in terms of culture, ethnicities, religions, languages, abilities, ages, genders, and sexual orientations. “We should strive to connect more meaningfully with one another by making an effort to understand our differences and similarities,” he said.

Understanding the Family Compensation Act In the winter months, we are constantly being reminded of statistics for road deaths on holiday weekends. We all know accidents can happen, and when they result in the death of a loved one it is important to understand that remaining family members may be entitled to compensation under the Family Compensation Act (the FCA). The FCA is designed to compensate families for loss when a family member dies in a non-work related accident, such as a car accident. A claim brought under the FCA must be for the benefit of a
spouse, parent or child of the deceased, and must be brought by and in the name of the

deceased’s personal representative. Spouses, parents and children are expressly defined in the FCA and therefore it is not always obvious who may claim compensation, and who may not.
For example, stepparents, step-children and grand-parents can sometimes fit the various definitions. A recent case in BC called Stegemann v Pasemko, is an example of what a court might award to a person claiming under the FCA. In that case, a 50 year-old mother with two young children was killed in a motor vehicle accident. Her husband brought an action against the driver who caused the accident. He was awarded damages for loss of dependency, special expenses, loss of household services, and loss of inheritance. In

addition, both of the couples’ young children received awards for loss of care, guidance and affection, loss of dependency, loss of household services, loss of child care services and loss of inheritance. In addition, the Act provides a claim in damages for medical or hospital expenses which would have been recoverable by the person injured if death had not ensued, and as well for reasonable expenses relating to the funeral. The FCA has been criticized in recent years for not providing a mechanism to receive compensation for pain, suffering or other emotional aspects associated with a fatal accident and the resulting death. However, the courts have made it clear that the FCA does not compensate an individual for the sorrow or grief they may have suffered as a result of the loss of a close family member. While it is impossible to put a price tag on the loss suffered when a loved one is killed, there are monetary entitlements through compensation under the Act to help those left behind cope. If you have lost a loved one in an accident, you should consult a lawyer to see if compensation may be available to you or other family members through the FCA. Many personal injury lawyers will offer a free initial consultation, during which they can advise you if you are entitled to family compensation benefits. –Doug is a partner with RDM Lawyers LLP in Abbotsford.

Gardening The weather has turned milder after the windy chilly spell we had last week, so let’s dress up the outside and inside of our homes and add some colour and fragrance to enjoy through the holiday season. Christmas outdoor containers are not new, but wow, have they ever changed. The new concept is to take cut boughs, branches, twigs, cones, drieds, tropical pods and bling to create a beautiful artistic arrangement that will lift and brighten not only Christmas spirits but also those long cold dreary days of winter. Where to begin? It starts with the right containers: Clay and traditional ceramics could possibly crack in lower temperatures, so you need to use the new classy-looking plastics and resin pots that stand up to severe cold and frost. A tall, thin styled container or low bowl that can be set on a pedestal are the most pleasing. Window boxes too can look amazing, as well as wall pockets. All green branches do better if their stems can access some moisture, and they also need stability in winter winds. I love using heavy wet blended soils as a base. It’s important to line your pots with thick plastic to hold in the moisture. Wet, soggy topsoil or blended bagged soils are easiest to work with. When you put the soil into your container, pack it tightly and keep it wet. The weight helps prevent any blow overs and creates a solid base to place your stems. Depending on where you live, the selection of greens will vary. Hardy greens, like pine, white and blue spruce, balsam and juniper, would be the best to use. Virtually all the cut branches available in garden stores are simply prunings done on larger trees or on tree farms where they would cut branches from #2 cultivated trees. Sometimes branches on Christmas
trees are more valuable than the tree itself. In Zone 5 and above, a far wider range of greens can be used to create beautiful colour blends and textures. Softly textured noble fir is the most popular, followed by soft white pine, cedar, incense cedar, blue berried juniper, golden cedars and Japanese cryptomerias. Each of these greens have such wonderful fragrances. Twigs create wonderful height and contrast. The shrub
dogwood that shines in winter with vibrant stems of red, yellow or unique combinations of both, as in the case of ‘Midwinter Fire’, really brings greens alive. The twisted stems of contorted willows, now in colours of green, red and yellow, add a unique flavour with their height and flair. Contorted filbert branches also create quite an impact. The strength of these branches offer a nice place to hang cones and other décor. The rising star, however, in all outdoor natural arrangements are pure white birch stems used in varying heights. The brilliance of these stems creates a striking contrast ele-

ment, as do the unique peeled stems of contorted willows. Bits of uniquely shaped driftwood can also enhance a different artistic look. Berries pack an amazing punch, and nothing does it better than the deciduous holly, Ilex verticillata. Tropical drieds create eye-popping finishing touches. From dyed lotus pods, mahogany bell cups, and all sizes of lata balls to dried grasses, twigs, cane circles made from stiff grasses, dried sun palm leaves and twisted ting ting, all have a natural fit and make fantastic finishing touches. Over the holiday season, many florists and garden centres offer ‘how to’ classes with great instructors – so take advantage. You’ll pick up some amazing tips on creative designing. Remember, this is ‘art’ and your artistic expression is the main point. As in our gardens, this is an issue of personal taste, so go ahead and create without any explanation or apology.

Kumon students celebrate
Luscious Lashes
The Abbotsford Kumon Math and Reading Centre (Trethewey Street location) held its annual bowling and awards event at Galaxy Bowl on Saturday, Nov. 15 to celebrate the students’ hard work and successes. All students were invited to enjoy disco bowling at Galaxy Bowl and a ceremony afterwards that recognized the students for their academic and personal achievements throughout the year. Shirley Tam, director of the Abbotsford Kumon Math and Reading Centre, said she believes strongly in encouraging students to work towards the advanced student honour roll, to study challenging material and develop excellent work habits. Abbotsford Kumon has worked with children in the Fraser Valley for more than 22 years.
If you are looking for longer lashes ‘LATISSE’ is your answer. Let’s face it, how many of us have looked at movie stars and models and envied their lovely lashes? Now you can have those lashes by applying Latisse! Latisse is a prescription medication that is applied to each eyelid daily. Latisse will grow your own natural eyelashes longer, fuller and darker with visible results as early as 8 weeks.
As they have done in previous years, students and their families donated food for the Abbotsford Food Bank, collect-
ing more than 150 items. For more information, call 604-855-7896 or visit kumonabbotsfordclearbrook.com.

When consumers shop at local businesses, $46 of every $100 spent is recirculated back into the local economy. Local businesses strengthen communities, build resilience and foster innovation. They create good jobs, support local charities, contribute significantly to our tax base and re-circulate the dollars they make many
times locally by using other local businesses as suppliers for marketing, financial, legal and other services. Small change creates BIG impacts for our local economy! A 1% increase in BC consumer spending creates 3100 jobs and $94 million in annual wages to BC workers.

This year’s flu shot may prove less effective than usual because the dominant virus now circulating has mutated significantly in the months since the vaccine was devised. The H3N2 strain – one of three targeted in this year’s flu vaccine – is thought to have changed its genetic makeup enough
to possibly thwart the antibodies that the vaccine activates. D r. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, is still recommending the vaccine, particularly for the elderly, the chronically ill and those with compromised immune systems. “It’s not a perfect match,� she said.
“But for the high risk, even an imperfectly matched vaccine is going to give cross protection. And for some people it could be life-saving.� She said the H3N2 strain tends to be particularly nasty to the elderly and may bring a deadlier flu season than usual. “We may see more hospitalizations or deaths this year,� Skowronski said.
HELP KIDS FIGHT CANCER!
DR. SKOWRONSKI She said it’s particularly concerning that the flu has struck B.C. surprisingly early this season, causing outbreaks in eight se-
niors’ care homes. The vaccine was formulated last February because it takes six to eight months to produce in large quantities and the H3N2 virus is thought to have since mutated while circulating in the southern hemisphere. Skowronski said it’s still not too late to get the shot and some protection when flu activity peaks in the weeks ahead, including any later surge of cases of influenza B, which tends to peak in March or April. The vaccine also
targets the influenza B and H1N1 viruses, but they’re considered less likely to cause illness this flu season. Even in years when the vaccine is a better fit – last year’s was about 70 per cent effective against the then-dominant H1N1 strain – Skowronksi says everyone should wash their hands frequently and avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth. People who get the flu shot often mistakenly think any illness they contract can’t be flu and sometimes
fail to get appropriate treatment. “It doesn’t make you invincible,� Skowronski said. Anti-viral medication can stop or fight an influenza infection but must be given quickly, ideally within 12 hours of the start of symptoms. An estimated 3,500 Canadians die each year from flu complications – mainly seniors and others with underlying conditions. Flu shot locations: http://www.fraserhealth.ca/flushot

She started walking at 7 a.m. on First Avenue, and finished at the Abbotsford Automall eight hours later after having traversed much of Abbotsford. “Anybody can do it.

Lindsey March has been on a journey for a three years, a journey to lose weight, gain confidence, and prove to herself that all her goals are within reach. The 27-year-old Abbotsford resident walked 42 kilometres last Wednesday, to prepare herself to participate in the Honolulu Marathon in Hawaii on December 14. The event will be her first walk marathon, and the final step in a journey during which March has shed 285 pounds and transformed her perspective. “It’s kind of like the final chapter to the last three years of my life,” she said. “I started a weight-loss journey, and this is the last thing I need to do for myself to complete it.” Three years ago, March’s journey began in the pool with aquafit classes, before progressing to zumba, and then programs at GoodLife Fitness. Training for the Hawaii marathon began in August, when March began walking 5 kilometres three days a week. Numerous members of GoodLife came out to cheer for March on Wednesday, holding

A 36-6 defeat wasn’t the way the Abby Senior Panthers had hoped to end their football playoff run, but sometimes hope isn’t enough when tangling with the topranked team in the province. The Panthers met the Vernon Panthers on Friday in Kamloops, two cats dancing for a place in the Double-A Subway Bowl semifinals this weekend. Abby, which only last year was 1-6 in regular season play, went into Saturday’s game ranked fifth in B.C. “We made a couple of key mistakes early in the game, and when you’re in the playoffs against good teams it’s tough to get over some of these things,” said Abby coach Jay Fujimura. The Abby squad started well, forcing a three-and-out on Vernon’s first possession. Abby senior

Chase Claypool ran for a big return on the ensuing punt, but the advantage was negated by a penalty. Undeterred, Claypool and quarterback Jordan Fox hooked up for a long reception that put Abby inside Vernon’s red zone, but a few failed plays and penalties later, Abby turned the ball over without scoring a point. It was one of four times the team would progress deep into the Vernon end, and one of four times Abby would be stymied in the final advance. A blown coverage in the next series allowed Vernon an easy touchdown to gain the lead. The Abby offence regained the ball, but couldn’t gain any traction and was forced to punt. The snap flew over the punter’s head, and Vernon recovered the ball on Abby’s oneyard-line for another easy score.

The rest of the game continued in a similar pattern, with Abby taking key penalties and missing thirddown opportunities on offence and defence. By halftime Vernon was up 29-0. While Abby would blank the Vernon offence through the rest of the game, their own scoring struggles would continue, and Vernon’s defence would pick up their final points by running another turnover into the end-zone “They got the lead and they’re a very good running team,” said Fujimura. “So they were just able to keep grinding it out, grinding it out, and eating up the clock and wearing us down.” The Abby squad picked up some big victories this year on their way to a topeight finish, including a 14-12 defeat of the (then) top-ranked Mission Roadrunners in the final game of the regular season. It was the first time Abby has beaten the Roadrunners since the team rejoined the Double-A league in 2008. A c c o rd i n g to Fujimura, his team’s biggest accomplishment has been transitioning “from only winning one or two games last year to possible contending and being ranked in the province.” He credited his team’s work, culture, and passion with the change.

Abby’s Joel Balzer crashes the net during Friday’s 4-2 victory over the Ridge Meadows Flames. JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News
Short-staffed Pilots win five straight Paul ESAU Abbotsford News
The Abby Pilots are currently riding a five-game winning streak. In those five games they’ve scored 23 goals, and catapulted themselves into second position in the Harold Brittain conference of the PJHL They’ve accomplished this despite missing four of their top six forwards to injuries and suspensions, and being forced to play most games with only three offensive
lines. Secondary scoring has become the Pilots’ saviour, not to take pressure off the top line, but because the top line is watching from the stands. On Friday Abby made its latest conquest with a commanding 4-2 victory over the Ridge Meadow Flames. The Pilots grabbed a 3-1 lead in the first period and never gave their opponents a chance to recover momentum. Their defence, a Continued on A43

problem for the Pilots earlier in the season, played almost immaculately in the win. The victory over the Flames was chocolate sauce on the ice cream of Thursday night’s win over the conference-leading Langley Knights. Back-to-back wins from a team as short-handed as the Pilots aren’t common, and neither are the numbers being produced by the players. On Friday, Abby forward Cole Methorst stacked up four points (one goal and three assists) and was named the first star of the game. “I had his brother on our team,” Pilots coach Jim Cowden said of Methorst, “and this summer I said ‘you know what, let’s get the other brother!’ … He started out slow in the first month and a half, but now over the last two or three weeks he’s stepped it up big time … very happy with him.” Cowden’s son, Colten, has spent the last five games suspended for
his part in an on-ice ruckus with the North Vancouver Wolf Pack on Nov. 1. While coach Cowden says his team wasn’t look for a fight against Vancouver, the altercation galvanized his squad. “Ever since that game we’ve stuck together and gone on this streak. We’ve won our last six out of seven,” he said. Cowden knew his team would be forced closer “because they believed in each other, supported one another, and when things like that happen it’s like a pack of wolves. Not that I condone it because we’re not a dirty hockey team.” The Pilots have come a long way through the first three months of the season, clawing their way up the ranks to become serious contenders for the top spot in the conference. The team will try to keep its momentum into Friday’s rematch with the Knights in another opportunity to make up points on the one team still above Abby in the standings.

Knights storm Single-A volleyball provincials The Abby Christian Knights boys volleyball team cruised into last weekend’s Single-A provincial tournament as the top-ranked squad, while also enjoying the additional benefit of hosting the event in their home gym. Eight games later, the Knights earned their first ever provincial banner, walking over Centennial Christian 3-1 in the championship match. The Knights were ranked first in the Single-A division all season, and finished second at provincials last year. Coach Anthony Jansen spoke of how meaningful it was to his team to host this year’s tournament, especially the support of the ACS community in the crowd. “I think it was unreal, there aren’t words to explain,” he said. “Even the opening ceremonies was pretty cool for the guys. They were quite emotional coming in, and before the final game too they were probably more nervous than they ever have been before a game, but they fought through it.” Abby Christian’s Sam Goertzen was awarded Most Outstanding Player for the tournament. Aaron Postma picked up a first team all-

80+ curlers rock the ice
Abby rink wins bonspiel with veteran wiles “You don’t stop playing because you grow old; you grow old when you stop playing,” goes the old adage. On Nov. 21 and 22 the Valley’s veteran curlers proved they haven’t stopped as the Abbotsford Masters Curling Club hosted the 25th annual Zone 2 80+ Bonspiel. Altogether 48 curlers, men and women all over 80 years of age, took to the ice at the Abbotsford Curling Center. The 12 teams from Abby and neighbouring communities each played three games over the two days. Collectively the players represented over 4,000 years of life experience. Abbotsford’s Cliff Christianson, Gerry Forsythe,
Left to right: Don McMillan, Jim Mossop, Cliff Christianson, and Gerry Forsythe
Don McMillan and Jim Mossop emerged victorious, claiming the Art Shaw Trophy. The impressive opening ceremonies featured piper Steve Gallagher leading the parade of curlers and local dignitaries onto the ice. George Whatley, 92, opened the bonspiel by delivering the first ceremonial rock to the broom held by Gladys Banks. The bonspiel saw the renewing of old acquaintances and the rekindling of long rivalries. Organizers thanked Art Heppner and his planning committee and the many sponsors who supported this unique sporting event.

BROOME Valerie It is with great sadness that the family of Valerie Broome announces her passing on Thursday, November 20, 2014 at the age of 84 years. Valerie will be dearly missed by her daughters, Valerie (Larry) Marsolais, Catherine Hamblin and Barbara (Henry) Boldt. She will also be missed by her special friends, Joy Warne, Ivan Penn, Mable Kelly and Vicky Straughn. Born is Beausejour, Manitoba, Valerie moved to Vancouver in 1946 and married her late husband Robert Broome in 1949. They eventually moved to Langley where they purchased a small farm. Valerie developed and ran a very successful and efficient hobby farm raising cattle, chickens and pigs. Thanks to Valerie’s hard work her family was self sufficient in fruits and vegetables. Although Valerie had never received any formal training in animal care, she had in instinctive sense and was frequently consulted by neighbouring farmers about the care of sick animals. After 25 years in Langley, Valerie moved to Abbotsford. She had a zest for travel and was fortunate to experience the beauty and history of Europe, Asia, and the Far East with her last adventure being to the Canadian Arctic. A celebration of life will take place on Sunday, December 7th, 2014 at 2:00 pm at Crown Point Villa’s Amenities Room, 3292 Vernon Terrace, Abbotsford, BC. Memorial donations in memory of Valerie may be made to Elizabeth’s Wildlife Centre, P.O. Box 15015, Seven Oaks, Abbotsford, BC V2S 6P1. Valerie’s family would also like to thank the emergency team nursing staff and doctors at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital for the compassionate care they provided.
