Two murder charges – after four decades Garry Handlen declared ‘menace to society’ in 1979
Local turkey farm hit by avian flu Thousands of birds to be euthanized Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
Vikki HOPES
An Abbotsford turkey farm and a broiler breeder chicken farm in Chilliwack are in quarantine after H5 avian influenza was discovered earlier this week. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said tests confirmed the disease Monday after both farms reported significant numbers of sudden deaths over the weekend. Dr. Jane Pritchard, chief veterinarian officer with the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, said about half of the Abbotsford’s farm’s 11,000 birds had already died from the disease, while 1,000 of the Chilliwack’s farm’s 7,000 birds have died. “This is catasrophic for the individual farmers,” she told reporters. The remaining birds will MORINEE be euthanized and compostONLws.com ed on site. Officials did not abbyne identify the afflicted farms. Further testing is underway to determine the strain of the influenza and its pathogenicity (the severity of the illness in birds), but Pritchard said officials are treating it as if it was a high path strain. It’s not yet known how the virus made its way onto the affected farms. “At this point we have no direct connection between the two farms,” Pritchard said. The two farms are eight kilometres apart. “There are multiple ways of transmission, either through migratory birds or movement of infected birds to another, from humans and other aspects,” added CFIA chief veterinary officer Harpreet Kochar. The CFIA will be setting up a “surveil-

A judge sentencing Garry Taylor Handlen in 1979 to 18 years in prison for a violent rape declared him a “menace to society” and said Handlen’s record of sexual offences was appalling. Handlen, now 67, was arrested last Friday in Surrey and charged with the first-degree murders of Kathryn-Mary Herbert, 11, of Matsqui (which later amalgamated with Abbotsford) in 1975 and Monica Jack, 12, of Merritt in 1978. Police made the announcement at a press conference on Monday in Surrey, where they said that Handlen, recently living in Ontario, had been a “person of interest” early in the investigations into the two murders, but it had taken this long to gather enough evidence to support charges.

ALEX BUTLER Abbotsford News
Honourable Judge Steven Point led Mayor Henry Braun and councillors through their oaths of office at the inaugural meeting of council on Monday.
New mayor and council take office in Abbotsford Inaugural meeting held on Monday
Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
Abbotsford is uniquely positioned for growth and success, said Mayor Henry Braun in his inaugural address to council on Monday. He spoke to a room of about 300 people – including family, friends, community members and city staff – who gathered to witness the new mayor and council at the inaugural council meeting at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium at city hall. “Building a stronger community means
bringing all people together to ensure the concerns and priorities of citizens are reflected in both the discussion and the decisions made by council,� Braun said. Before his address, the Honourable Judge Steven Point oversaw the administration of oaths, beginning with Braun. The new council consists of Couns. Les Barkman, Kelly Chahal, Sandy Blue, Brenda Falk, Moe Gill, Dave Loewen, Patricia Ross and Ross Siemens. New to the council
table are Chahal, Blue, Falk and Siemens. After each member of council read the oath and pledged their allegiance to the Queen, they signed the official papers. At the meeting of council, Ross was appointed deputy mayor for the year of 2015, and other appointments to city committees were made. In his address, Braun said there are many issues to be addressed at the city level, including homelessness, property tax levels, escalating
commercial vacancies, managing growth and development, developing efficient transit systems and more. He cited the importance of the ongoing update of the official community plan, saying that right now the way the city makes planning and land use decisions is impacting infrastructure costs. Braun said the city must plan for the future to make Abbotsford livable, affordable and walkable. “We will address the development of a clear
strategic plan and a corresponding long-term financial plan for our city.� Braun spoke of creating new systems for citizens to weigh in on the performance of the government as part of a plan to demonstrate accountability in government. There is an opportunity for the new council to “bring a greater sense of transparency in our governance process, as well as better accountability and consistency in the application of our bylaws.�
Braun addresses chamber luncheon Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
In his second speech as mayor, Henry Braun reiterated numerous points made in his inaugural address to council. At a sold-out Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Tuesday, he said the new council will spend less time behind closed doors, only holding incamera meetings when necessary, and communicating the rationale behind decisions. Braun added that the number of city committees will be reduced by more than half. He said this will free up more
BRAUN time for council and city staff to work on priority initiatives and “do what they do best.� In a short question and answer period, Braun was asked about the future of the
Abbotsford Centre, which hosted the money-losing Abbotsford Heat hockey team for five years until the contract was severed in April. The city had to subsidize the hockey and entertainment centre, costing $3.86 million in 2012. Braun said the city is working on the challenge, explaining that the key to turning the centre around is finding an anchor tenant. But he said the arena will not likely make money. “For those who may think we are going to break even, I doubt that is going to happen.�
With the changes, the yearly subsidy paid by the city could be reduced from “$4 millionplus to maybe $1 million,� said Braun, adding that most arenas lose money and he wanted to be frank with the public about that. Braun said he has optimism due to the quality entertainment coming to the centre. He observed that many performing acts were subsidized by the public, which has changed since the contract with the centre management company was renegotiated this fall.

Mom: ‘These two little girls ... made a difference in this world’ From A1
They confirmed that Handlen has a criminal record, although they wouldn’t expand on his background or on the evidence that led investigators to him as a suspect. An old daily newspaper article indicates Handlen was sentenced to five and a half years in jail in November 1971 for raping an 18-year-old woman in Comox on Vancouver Island. He was living in Courtenay at the time. Other articles detail the trial and sentencing of Handlen in 1979 for the rape of a 21-year-old Quebec woman on Sept. 11, 1978. Handlen, living in New Westminster at that time, had picked up the woman while she was hitchhiking near Hope. The woman testified that Handlen pulled over at a rest stop near Manning Park. There, he grabbed her around the neck from behind and dragged her into the woods, where she tried to fight him off as he choked and raped her. She was able to escape and flag down a vehicle on Highway 3. The couple in the vehicle saw Handlen’s car leave the rest stop and put out a call on their CB radio, leading other drivers to obtain his licence number. The victim identified Handlen in a police lineup and was able to point out his car, which police had parked among about 300 other vehicles in a mall parking lot. During the trial, Crown counsel Wally Oppal pointed out that Handlen had served prison terms for rape, indecent assault, and assault with intent to commit rape. Just three years prior to that crime being committed, Kathryn-Mary Herbert was reported missing. The girl was last seen in the area of Townline and Marshall roads on Sept. 24, 1975 – one day before her mother’s birthday. A friend whom she ran into while walking home from another friend’s, had doubled her part-way home on his bicycle and dropped her off on the way to her King Road home. She never returned home, and her partially decomposed body was found on Nov. 17 of that year near Harris Road in
four years later in a shallow grave near Downes and Mt. Lehman roads, not far from her Sun Vally Crescent home. She had been beaten to death. Kathryn-Mary’s mother, Shari Greer, in 2012 offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to a suspect in her daughter’s murder. Later that year, she was presented with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for her work in offering support to those bereaved by the loss of a loved one. At the time, Greer said she was frustrated with investigators. A person of interest in the case was never named publicly but was stated to be a convicted sex offender who had dated a girl living with the Herberts. Police at the press conference this week would not confirm whether that person was Handlen. Both moms spoke at the press conference, fondly remembering their daughters and thanking investigators for their perseverance in charging a suspect. Monica’s mother, Madeline Lanaro, said her daughter was a beautiful little Monica Jack went missing near Merritt, B.C. in May of girl who was always happy and had a “tingly laugh.” 1978.

More recent outbreaks of avian flu have been less serious. In 2005, 60,000 birds were killed after a mild version of H5 was found at a Yarrow farm. In 2009, 41 farms were placed in quarantine and 72,000 birds were slaughtered after an H5 version was found on two farms in
Abbotsford. That version of the flu was determined to be “of low pathogenicity.” In 2008, the B.C. agriculture ministry unveiled a new $14-million lab in Abbotsford. Officials said the lab would allow the ministry to respond to disease outbreaks “faster and more efficiently.”

Flames tore through a barn on Whatcom Road on Saturday, destroying stored vehicles and boats.
Firefighters hampered by wind Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) battled a barn fire in the 700 block of Whatcom Road on Saturday afternoon. Crews were called at about 12:45 p.m. to the blaze. When they arrived, the barn was fully engulfed in flames, and a large portion of the building had already collapsed. The barn was partitioned into rental storage units containing equipment, boats and vehicles, but no livestock.
Crews were on the scene into the evening, and they faced challenges including high winds on Sumas Prairie, sub-zero temperatures and poor access to the property. Water had to be trucked in. The cause of the blaze is still under investigation. A total of 14 AFRS trucks and about 60 firefighters were on the scene, along with members of the Abbotsford Police Department, B.C. Ambulance Services and Fortis Gas.

Step up to help food bank
The Abbotsford Food Bank is setting a 15-year record – a very unfortunate and disconcerting one. Stocks of food at the organization have never been so low in the past decade and a half as they are now. Among many others, the food bank is a vital service in this community, currently serving about 3,000 people each month. It also operates as the Abbotsford Christmas Bureau at this time of year, providing gifts and food hampers for families in need. That aspect of the service got a significant boost last week with the Toys for Tots event. Now the community needs to fill the organization’s shelves with food. The Mennonite Central Committee just stepped up to the task, calling on its members to help out, and planning food drives at its new Gladys Avenue centre grand opening on Saturday and throughout the month. It would be superb to see other community organizations similarly muster their resources to answer the food bank need.
Of course, individual citizens are also vital in assisting this service. Remember that the folks who access the food bank include many families with children, which are experiencing job loss, unexpected major expenses, or just a tough time in making ends meet in challenging economic times. 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, with this year’s fundraising goal set at $850,000 – the cost of keeping the food bank going year round. In fact, because the food bank can purchase supplies at a discount, cash contributions have a two-to-one benefit. Abbotsford is one of the most generous communities in the nation. We believe the food bank is about to see another demonstration of that.
We may end up thanking the Saudis for this Mark

Other Hand Trust my luck, the price of fuel always drops to reasonable prices just when I have no desire to drive anywhere farther than the local grocery store. During the summer and fall, prices were such that any long trips were few and far between, the cost of gas making a flight to Hawaii about the same as a motor trip to the Cariboo. A few years ago, when the economy went into the tank and fuel prices fell accordingly, I could drive up north, spend a few days cruising the back country, and get home on just few hundred dollars. Not so in the recent past with perlitre prices hovering in the $1.40 range. Today, at Costco, it’s about $1.05 and at some in-town stations under $1.10.
Great for tourism, except with snow and cold weather adorning most of B.C. for the next three months, who wants to go anywhere? And that may be part of the reason the price of oil has plunged about 30 per cent. Travel – at least in northern climes – is pretty much at a standstill for the average consumer, though our food and other products are still moved daily by commercial transport. That might eventually translate into reduced prices for groceries and other commodities. However, for some unfathomable reason (at least to me), the price of diesel is, and has been for some time, higher than gasoline, which as I understand, requires considerably more refining. Go figure, unless you accept the premise that “Big Oil” knows we need big trucks that burn diesel to move most of the goods we use on this continent. “Charge what the market will bear” must be the mantra in Oil’s corporate head offices. Despite that, prices are now falling
simply because trying to justify at-thepump prices for fuel when the price of a barrel of crude has dropped from more than $120 to under $70 would usher in the loud ringing of greed bells across the continent. The reason for the drop – North America has developed previously un-
Suddenly, at least for commuters, it is now a buyers’ market, particularly if you fuel up outside Metro Vancouver... tapped sources of oil, and OPEC has maintained its flow to the market, resulting in something like two million barrels a day more oil than is being consumed. Suddenly, at least for commuters, it is now a buyers’ market, particularly if you fuel-up outside Metro Vancouver, which has its added 17 cents/litre transit tax
on top of the price we pay out here in the Valley. Despite my lack of motor travel, I might even see a break in the price of heating fuel, since living out in the boonies means I heat my home with oil instead of natural gas – the price of which is a significant cost benefit to those living “on the grid.” Perhaps the only casualties in the fall of oil prices may be some who work in the oil patches of northern B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. Not much point looking for more wells when there is a massive glut on the market, maintained by Saudi Arabia, which seems to be trying to force the high-cost operators out of business by keeping the price of oil below their profitability line. We may even end up thanking them for that. Regardless, it appears that at least for now, we shall all benefit from lower fuel costs. And I’ve got my fingers crossed it will continue long enough to enable a few more trips into northern B.C. to fit my budget next year. markrushton@abbynews.com

letters Local churches do much to help needy Re: Online comment by Ravi Sharma, “Churches could do more.� Ravi holds the opinion that our local churches could do more to help the food bank. Perhaps Ravi should stop pointing a finger at churches, and instead, actually go into one to see what they do. Catholic churches have the St. Vincent de Paul Society, which is a food bank in itself. They also have the Knights of Columbus, which give out food hampers each year. Both of these are supported by their parishioners, who also support the food bank. The Mennonites have their MCC, which is one huge charity. I can’t see them letting people go hungry, and they support the food bank. Our local Sikh temple has a huge lunchroom, and

they will feed anyone who comes in. I’ve seen them donate to the food bank. 5 and 2 Ministries actively go out into the community and help, and I’m sure they’re not lax in edible charity. I can’t speak for other religious communities, but I am sure they don’t sit back and watch people starve. If you are looking for people to point fingers at, I suggest you go to your local shopping center. I was profoundly disgusted at all the competition for Black Friday sales items. What if, instead of buying useless electronics and other things, these people crowded into grocery stores and restocked the food bank shelves themselves? And Ravi, what have you done?

letter Still blaming the addict Re: Letter to the editor by Jackie Newman (Nov. 19) which confuses our route to a solution for our national homelessness crisis by trying to draw a merited distinction between our homeless population and our addicted population. Furthermore, conducting the letter as though there could be certainty to whether homelessness is a personal or moral choice when it is categorically a health issue presumes that there is data supporting your conclusion, which there is not. Seeing this article compels me to share my actual experience as a mental health worker at a government-funded social justice organization in Vancouver over the last five years The company I work for houses over 1,000 previously homeless human beings in over 55 separate projects under a simple mantra: “Somewhere to sleep, something to eat, and someone to talk to.” We acknowledge that a trau-
matized person cannot begin to liberate themselves from their affliction – be that chronic homelessness, addiction or both – until their basic needs are met. Our homeless have always been with us, and they may always be. The fact is we cannot understand the cause or cure for chronic homelessness or addiction unless we relegate the part of ourselves that condemns the addict. Only then can we begin looking at systemic causes to our systemic problems. We live in the only G8 country without a national housing strategy. We live in the only city in Canada with an archaic, draconian bylaw against the distribution of harm-reduction supplies which stands in the way of internationally accepted methods to reduce homelessness. And you still want to blame the addict. Joshua McDaniel

Stabbing victim An Abbotsford man was among two men who were stabbed in Surrey over the weekend. The 44-year-old and a 35-year-old man from Langley were taken to hospital after being stabbed several times in the abdomen and chest, according to police. The incident took place at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday at the Shakerz show lounge at 10458 137 St. The two victims sur-
vived and were in stable condition the day after the assault. Police say the pair are known to them and that they are not cooperating with the investigation. Police also say witnesses are being uncooperative. Anyone who knows anything about the crime is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604599-0502 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Fraser Health sets conditions to be met
Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
An Abbotsford acupuncture clinic, closed earlier this month after an investigation turned up questionable health practices, will be allowed to re-open once it meets a series of conditions set by the Fraser Health Authority (FHA). The Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Centre, operated by Duan (Deborah) Hu on McCallum Road, 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 recordkeeping, 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. The clinic has been
practising at its current location since 2005, and FHA has issued a public plea to former 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, but
FHA medical health officer Dr. Michelle Murti said the health authority was trying to contact as many as 1,000 patients. Dr. Murti says the clinic has been reinspected and a public order has been amended to allow Hu
Feels like
to resume operations as long as she is licenced and in good standing by the CTCMA; has fixed the health issues previously identified; begun to properly document patients and waste and sharps disposal; and complied with the FHA investigation.

The Westcoast Boys Club Network Foundation presented their reality stage play ‘Man Up!’ in Abbotsford last Thursday night in the W. J. Mouat Secondary theatre. The production chronicles the true story of the original Boys Club, which involves two determined educators, a group of at-risk boys, a handful of visionary B.C. businessmen, and the compelling four-year journey they took together. Among those in attendance were Richard Jaffray, Cactus Club CEO, local school administrators, trustees and police representatives.

Abbotsford News Wednesday, December 3, 2014
Power demand spiked in cold snap Use peaked at 9,346 megawatts BC Hydro expected province-wide electricity demand to reach near-record breaking highs Monday evening. Decreasing temperatures have resulted in a significant increase in overall provincial electricity use. Electricity demand peaked at 9,346 megawatts on Sunday evening between 5 and 6 p.m. This was 1,550 megawatts higher than the peak demand on the Sunday the week before. The power required to serve this increase in demand is equivalent to running three of the four turbines at Mica Generating Station at maximum capacity. BC Hydro usually sees the highest demand for electricity between 4 and 8 p.m. on weekday evenings – the time of day when people come home, turn up the heat, do their laundry, make dinner, and turn on the TV. Hydro expects demand to stay high until
temperatures increase later this week and is expecting a peak of about 10,100 megawatts on Monday night. The highest hourly peak demand ever was recorded on Nov. 29, 2006, when consumption reached 10,113 megawatts between 5 and 6 p.m. Temperatures in Abbotsford plummeted to the -8 C mark in some spots, with a dusting of snow on Friday night. Environment Canada is calling for clouds and showers on Thursday, with highs near 4, rising to 8 by the weekend, with more rain. To offset increasing heat requirements, there are a number of easy ways residents can save on their daily power use, including: Q Washing clothes in cold water. Q Turning off the “heat dry” function on the dishwasher. Q Using a programmable thermostat to heat their house only when they are home.

A Christmas tradition for over 100 years, the Seals represent a proud tradition of yearly giving by British Columbians who support clean air and healthy lungs. In the early days, funds raised helped to combat tuberculosis. Today, the Christmas Seal Campaign helps the Lung Association fight new battles against lung cancer, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), smoking and air pollution. Those wishing to make a donation can do so by calling tollfree 1-800-665-5864. Supporters can also visit www.bc.lung.ca for more information or to donate online.

The second annual Toys for Tots event on Friday resulted in a mountain of toys for local kids. This year, 1,100 toys and $13,800 in donations were collected, which will go towards helping kids in the community have a merry Christmas through the Abbotsford Food Bank and Christmas Bureau. The event ran from 6 to 9:30 a.m. at the Ramada Plaza and included photos with Santa, music from The Heights, Joel Reimer, Marika Siewert and the MEI Choir, and entertainment from local comedian and emcee Clifford Prang. Last year’s event, the first ever, collected almost $16,000 in cash and about 900 toys. The Abbotsford Food Bank, which operates as the Christmas Bureau and provides food and gifts to families in need during the holidays, has found itself with empty shelves leading up to

A youngster checks out some of the donations at the Toys for Tots event. Christmas. Food bank co-ordinator Dave Murray said the food bank and Christmas Bureau will assist about 4,000 people in the community this holiday season, said Murray. Planning started in August and about 60 volunteers were on site to help out. He added that the staff of the Ramada also volunteer
their time and “without their support it’s just totally impossible.” Police, firefighters and paramedics were also on site to assist and contribute. With the holidays coming, Murray said the food bank is always looking for contributions of all kinds, but as the food bank has about two-to-one buying power, donating
money can help stretch a dollar further. The food bank also has to fundraise to operate through the year, with this year’s goal set at $850,000. Most of those donations come in December and January, and those have to carry them through the year. To contribute, visit abbotsfordfoodbank.com or call 604-859-5749.

ACT presents The Snow Queen
Abbotsford News Wednesday, December 3, 2014

Public performances begin Dec. 12 at Matsqui Auditorium
Abbotsford Children’s Theatre (ACT) presents its production of The Snow Queen starting Wednesday, Dec. 10. The story has been revived with the popularity of Disney’s Frozen, which is loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale written in 1845. The ACT production features school shows on Dec. 10, 11 and 12 at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, 32315 South Fraser Way.
Public performances are at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 12 and 1 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 13. Modern dancing by the snowflakes and trolls brings new life to the play, as well as a contemporary fight scene with large masks. The grandeur of the winter ice and snow make for a stunning set, and the evilness of a snow queen and the goodness of two children complete the recipe for an impelling tale

to ring in the holiday season for all. “It has many similarities to Frozen, but it is still very different. If you like Frozen you will love this play,� said Caylee Watrin, who plays one of the snow queens in the double cast. Director Leslie Kemp has been directing with ACT for close to 20 years. “The Snow Queen
has a great message of perseverance and believing in yourself and your cause as well as the value of friendship. It teaches that the real magic is in everyday things that we don’t see; the idea of heart and courage.� Artistic director Freddy Latham said the cast of 40 students aged 14 to 17 from various schools have “embraced the challenges
to characters.� Tickets are $12 and are available at The

earthquake, we taught strategies for safer building construction.
Who We Are Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is a global non-profit organization that strives to share God’s love and compassion through relief, development, and peacebuilding. In all of our programs, we are committed to relationships with our local partners and churches – their needs guide our priorities. Since its beginning in 1920, MCC has worked to follow Jesus’ call to reach out to those who are hungry, thirsty, ill, or in prison, and to welcome strangers. Today, MCC responds to basic human needs and works for peace and justice in over 60 countries worldwide. Through local programs, MCC British Columbia works to meet needs here at home by working to support refugees, the homeless, individuals who suffer from abusive relationships, and others in need in our community.
What We Do RELIEF:
In situations of conflict or disaster, MCC is there – providing funds for emergency food and shelter, as well as supplies such as MCC relief kits. We also believe it’s important to stay after the world stops focusing on a crisis. We support long-term recovery projects such as rebuilding homes, providing employment through food- and cash-for-work projects, and helping people heal from trauma. We also help communities prepare for future disasters. For example, after the 2010 Haiti
In all our relief work, we partner with local communities to reduce conflict and meet their most important needs.
DEVELOPMENT: A success story for us is when a community no longer needs us. Over the years, MCC has learned that there is not one simple solution. Issues like poverty, oppression, injustice, and climate change must be addressed. We’ve learned that relationships matter, and so we work with partner organizations and the church, building bridges that connect people and ideas across cultural, political, and economic divides. Here at home, that includes serving people with HIV and AIDS, building relationships with our aboriginal neighbours, addressing issues surrounding homelessness and poverty, and more. PEACE: MCC believes that God calls

us to a life of peace and non-violence. We actively promote the pursuit of peace as we teach conflict resolution skills and peacebuilding strategies; encourage people to courageously choose peace over violence; address systemic injustices that can lead to violence; facilitate interfaith dialogue and relationship-building across cultural, racial, and ethnic divides; build resilience and respond to psychological needs through trauma healing; and provide churches with educational opportunities about peacebuilding.
Join us as we celebrate the growing legacy of MCC in British Columbia.
For more on MCC, visit our website at mccbc.ca.
Enjoy food, live music, and be there for the official ribbon cutting ceremony – all in
celebration of MCC’s continuing legacy of compassion for those in need. With the new MCC Centre now open, available services include the new MCC Centre Thrift Shop, our Material Resource Centre, a Ten Thousand Villages store, and the Common Place Café. The new MCC Centre will increase sales due to more parking, a larger retail space, and a highly visible and accessible location.

earthquake, we taught strategies for safer building construction.
Who We Are Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is a global non-profit organization that strives to share God’s love and compassion through relief, development, and peacebuilding. In all of our programs, we are committed to relationships with our local partners and churches – their needs guide our priorities. Since its beginning in 1920, MCC has worked to follow Jesus’ call to reach out to those who are hungry, thirsty, ill, or in prison, and to welcome strangers. Today, MCC responds to basic human needs and works for peace and justice in over 60 countries worldwide. Through local programs, MCC British Columbia works to meet needs here at home by working to support refugees, the homeless, individuals who suffer from abusive relationships, and others in need in our community.
What We Do RELIEF:
In situations of conflict or disaster, MCC is there – providing funds for emergency food and shelter, as well as supplies such as MCC relief kits. We also believe it’s important to stay after the world stops focusing on a crisis. We support long-term recovery projects such as rebuilding homes, providing employment through food- and cash-for-work projects, and helping people heal from trauma. We also help communities prepare for future disasters. For example, after the 2010 Haiti
In all our relief work, we partner with local communities to reduce conflict and meet their most important needs.
DEVELOPMENT: A success story for us is when a community no longer needs us. Over the years, MCC has learned that there is not one simple solution. Issues like poverty, oppression, injustice, and climate change must be addressed. We’ve learned that relationships matter, and so we work with partner organizations and the church, building bridges that connect people and ideas across cultural, political, and economic divides. Here at home, that includes serving people with HIV and AIDS, building relationships with our aboriginal neighbours, addressing issues surrounding homelessness and poverty, and more. PEACE: MCC believes that God calls

us to a life of peace and non-violence. We actively promote the pursuit of peace as we teach conflict resolution skills and peacebuilding strategies; encourage people to courageously choose peace over violence; address systemic injustices that can lead to violence; facilitate interfaith dialogue and relationship-building across cultural, racial, and ethnic divides; build resilience and respond to psychological needs through trauma healing; and provide churches with educational opportunities about peacebuilding.
Join us as we celebrate the growing legacy of MCC in British Columbia.

to be distributed to vulnerable individuals and families this winter. “We have already accepted several large bags of clothing from generous donors in recent days and are anticipating this year’s campaign to be the most successful yet,” she said. “This year we are offering a $2 off coupon to anyone who brings a donation to EcoDairy between now and the end of the campaign. We are also offering a very special $15 family admission rate on launch day to really kick it off.” The event will also feature games and crafts for kids and complimentary refreshments including hot apple cider, hot chocolate, tea and coffee. Deb Lowell, Salvation Army public relations director, said winter clothing donations during the Christmas season really do make a difference to those less fortunate in Abbotsford. “When you donate your gifts of funds or of seasonal appropriate clothing, you are indeed helping us share the ‘warmth’ of the holiday season with those who turn to the Salvation Army for assistance throughout the colder months,” she said. Donations will be accepted at both EcoDairy (1356 Sumas Way) or at the Abbotsford News (34375 Gladys Ave). The kick-off event is made possible through EcoDairy’s community partners, The Reach, The Abbotsford News, Nature’s Pickin’s and Revival Arts.

Double-A domination
MEI volleyball completes perfect tournament Abbotsford News
The MEI Eagles senior boys volleyball team couldn’t have had a better season. On Saturday the Eagles won the Double-A provincial banner at the Langley Events Centre, finishing off the Clarence Fulton Maroons in three sets (25-11, 25-20, 25-15) and placing the capstone on a perfect tournament and an historic 37-1 season. MEI didn’t lose a single set in either pool or playoff play during the four-day event, and Fulton was the only opponent to even reach 20 points in a set against the blue-and-gold. The Eagles
haven’t lost to a Double-A squad this season, falling only once all year to the Triple-A Kelowna Secondary Owls before later avenging the loss. According to coach Jordan Geransky, this year’s MEI squad was “a perfect storm of some really special athletes. There’s a core that really knows how to compete together, and they also know how to bring the guys that are on the fringe into the core of the team. “Whereas in their junior year it felt like we had four or five core guys, this year felt like we had 14 core guys. It was a combination of leadership, athleticism, and vol-

Jordan Koslowsky was brilliant for his team at setter, while fellow senior Jordan Loewen and Grade 11 Kaden Gamache proved merciless on the attack. All 14 MEI players were rotated into the game. The Eagles, who have finished in the top three in each of the last 13 provincial tournaments, are now in possession of nine championships. Gamache, Loewen, and Levi Block were all named first-team

Let’s talk. You’ve probably seen us on the news recently regarding Burnaby Mountain and our Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project.
SOME FACTS
I think it would be good for us to talk.
The Trans Mountain Pipeline has been operating between Edmonton, AB and Burnaby, BC
We’ve talked a lot with communities about their concerns and in Burnaby the feedback was to look into routing the pipeline through Burnaby Mountain, rather than through their streets and neighbourhood.
since 1953. In April 2012, we proposed to expand the
Our work on the mountain over the past few weeks has been a part of that feasibility study. Though we estimate it will cost Kinder Morgan $40 million more than the original route through residential streets, we want to acknowledge the best interests of the residents of Burnaby.
pipeline by building a second pipeline alongside the original. Our goal for the entire route has been to build adjacent to the existing pipeline within our existing right-of-way. However, sometimes there are good

reasons to look at other options, such as safety concerns, residential or industrial development that has expanded since the original pipeline was built, or environmental considerations.
Unfortunately, demonstrators chose to block our crews from doing their work and, in order to maintain the safety of our employees, contractors and the public, we were forced to pursue legal action to secure our worksite. Freedom of speech is fundamental to our way of life. Equally so is the Canadian right to go to work and conduct business safely. We have always believed these two principles can coexist if we all communicate.
We’ve been engaging with Aboriginal groups, Landowners, communities and stakeholders since April 2012. We’ve reached agreements with 18 Aboriginal groups, to date. The current work on Burnaby Mountain is to study the proposed route through Burnaby Mountain. Our application is before the National Energy

Board, an independent federal agency, to determine if the project should be approved to proceed in Canada’s best interest. Ultimately, the federal government will make the final decision.
We have conducted many workshops and open houses, met with thousands of people and continue to respond to questions daily. The feedback we have received to date has made our project better and has resulted in important changes to our route.
The National Energy Board has a recognized process to voice concerns, ask questions and introduce evidence for consideration.
Trans Mountain made a commitment to everyone who participated in our consultation that we would listen closely and do our best to respond to concerns.
Over 1,600 people in BC and Alberta have registered to participate. If approved to proceed, construction of the

expansion would begin in mid-2016 and would be in operation by late 2018.
On behalf of all the people who work on the pipeline and project, I truly hope we can keep talking throughout the process. Your input is important to us. We’ll be providing more opportunities for dialogue including our upcoming telephone town hall on December 3rd. Go to TransMountain.com to sign up. We welcome the opportunity to talk.

all-stars. Koslowsky won Most Outstanding Player, while Keaton Boughen grabbed Most Outstanding Libero. “As a libero you don’t get recognized very often,” said Boughen after picking up his trophy, “but it’s cool to just be behind the scenes helping your team out and doing whatever you can to keep the ball off the ground.” This season was only Boughen’s second playing libero after switching to the position in junior volleyball. He credits his team’s success to their “com-
munity” and ability to play for each other. “I’ll certainly miss the camaraderie this group has on the court and off the court,” said Geransky. “We talked about it before the game. [The team said] ‘We’re 14 best friends.’ All 14 really feel like they’re a tight-knit group and that impacted the way we trained and the way we played. “I think we saw a lot of leaders bloom this season,” he finished, looking over his shoulder to watch his team celebrate a perfect campaign.

After 12 games, the UFV Cascades men’s volleyball team sits at 6-6, good enough for the exact middle of the seven-team PacWest conference. The Cascades are three wins up on the CBC Bearcats (3-9) and three below the VIU Mariners (9-3), the only misfit between two fast-diverging segments of the field. Still, the numbers don’t tell the full story. The Cascades lost to the struggling CBC Bearcats early in the season, then upset the first-place Douglas College Royals (10-2) on Nov. 14. Under first-year coach Kyle Donen, UFV is a team still discovering itself, and creating plenty of surprises along the way. “It’s been a growing experience for me as well as for some of the guys,” said Donen, who has been happy to find some success early despite the transition. He began the season by tweaking UFV’s system, as well as moving some players to different positions, and is encouraged by the results. The Cascades were two games over .500 heading into last weekend’s double-header with the Camosun Chargers, but dropped both 3-0. On Friday UFV Continued on A31

pushed all three sets to the limit, losing 30-28, 25-23, 25-23 in a game that could easily have gone the Cascades’ way. “We were only a point or two, a dig or two, one extra kill here or there from earning a set win that could have potentially changed the game,” Donen said, “or potentially changed the whole weekend.” The Cascades were missing setter Ryan Thain (finger) and left side Kurtis Stromdahl (ankle). Right side Joel Kleingeltink led UFV on Friday with nine kills, while Robert Koenig chipped in with six kills and three blocks. The next day Camosun closed out the sweep with set scores of 25-19, 25-19, and 25-22. Kleingeltink led the team with nine kills and seven digs. Koenig, Josh Togeretz and Robert Bauerfind posted three kills apiece for the Cascades, who led 21-19 in the third set before Camosun reeled off six of the final seven points. Both teams came into the weekend among the top 15 teams in the CCAA national rankings – Camosun at no. 12 and UFV at no. 14.
The Cascades have won 21 sets and lost 23 so far this year. “We’ve showed that we’re capable of beating any team in the league,” said Donen. “We’ve put ourselves in a position to win every match that we’ve played this year.”

double overtime loss to the Aldergrove Kodiaks, before victories the Langley Knights 6-3 and the Ridge Meadows Flames 5-2. The Pilots were perhaps most impressive in the second and third periods of their loss to the Kodiaks, in which they came back from a 4-1 first period deficit to tie the game. Forward Kolten Grieve put up eight points for the Pilots over the threegame span (four goals, four assists), while newly-returned Colton Cowden had a goal and three assists. “Kolten Grieve, in my opinion, is the best forward in the league,” said coach Cowden. The Pilots will have a chance for revenge against the Kodiaks Friday at the MSA Arena at 7:30 p.m.

Hansen wins Bateman tourney The 6th annual Timberwolves Classic basketball tournament wrapped up on Saturday with a final game between the Robert Bateman Timberwolves and the Rick Hansen Hurricanes. The tournament featured 16 teams. Hansen took the final 84-74 in front of a boisterous crowd. Bateman established a modest
lead early in the game due to their high-tempo play, but Hansen surged in the third quarter. Joban Pandher led the Hurricanes in scoring with 12 points (five Hansen players finished in double-digits). Iqbal Grewal scored 26 points for the Timberwolves, while Nate Friesen chipped in with 12. Bateman athletic director Virinder Braich
has organized the tournament since it began six years ago, and said that this year’s event was the biggest yet. “The first year we actually started with six teams, and went to eight, and stayed at eight until this year,” said Braich. The Timberwolves are currently an honourable mention in the B.C. Triple-A rankings.

Province poised to force cities to join IHIT, new teams MLA decries hammer for special policing units
Jeff NAGEL Black Press
New provincial legislation that could force some holdout municipalities to join specialized regional policing units is troubling and dangerous, according to B.C.’s lone independent MLA. Vicki Huntington (Delta South) said the change to the Police Act passed by the government last week gives the province “enormous power” to reorganize police services. Some municipal police forces – in Vancouver, Delta and West Vancouver – aren’t part of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) and the province could now compel those cities to join and help fund the service rather than using separate municipal homicide squads. Abbotsford Police contributes members to IHIT. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the province may also require universal participation in new specialized police teams that are yet to be created, but promised in the legislature there would be “extensive consultation.” Forced participation in regional police units could drive local taxes up, she said, noting Delta estimates it would cost $800,000 to $1 million extra each year to join IHIT. “If you second an officer to one of these units you’re leaving a vacuum, a hole in the ability of that police force to service its own community,” Huntington said. “So you end up hiring additional police officers and the costs escalate.” Huntington argued the move amounts to redirecting money raised by local property taxes to services that are provincial priorities.

The Lord blessed them with nine children. They were missionaries in Brazil for 39 years working in an orphanage and leading a German colony church. Due to believing the future did not look very promising for their children in Brazil, they made the decision to immigrate to Canada. They arrived in Vancouver in April of 1969.

At the age of 90, she moved into Ebenezer Home and a few months later was transferred to Tabor Home where she lived for almost 10 years. Here she made many new friends. The last five years of her life were not easy. With family surrounding her, she went home to be with her Lord. She lived to be an unbelievable 99 years 9 months and 22 days. We have been truly blessed and she will be missed. Special thanks to the staff at Tabor Home for the compassionate care they provided.

Rempel David
June 15, 1955 November 21, 2014 David Rempel went to his eternal rest on Friday, November 21, 2014 in Abbotsford, BC at the age of 59. David was born in Comox, BC and spent his childhood in Black Creek on Vancouver Island and the Sumas Prairie in Abbotsford. Dave discovered his love and talent for farming at a young age while helping his parents on the family farm which he later purchased to raise his own family on. His other passions in life were vintage vehicles and driving truck. His brother Johnny will forever remember fondly their long drives to Anchorage, Alaska together. Unfortunately Dave dealt with health issues that lead to difficulties in his life and impacted his relationship with those he loved and those he dealt with regularly in the community. Dave will always be remembered and in his family’s thoughts…especially anytime they see a lime green Chevy truck. He is survived by children Kara and Jess Lindsay, Karmen, Christen and Barry Rumbles, and Jeremy, grandchildren Ethan, Wyatt and Colton; mother Anne Rempel; siblings Judy, John and Karen. He was predeceased by his father John. Burial took place at Yarrow Cemetery. Rest in peace David. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawnmtcheam.ca Woodlawn Mt.

Wilhelmina Akkerman - VandenBrink, March 27,1930 - Nov. 26, 2014 Our mom passed away peacefully to be with her Lord on Wed. Nov. 26 in Abbotsford Regional Hospital. We are so grateful to God for the gift she was to us, her family, and to the many people whose lives she touched. She will be dearly missed. Wil was born in Maassluis, Holland. She grew up in a loving and kind family. She began nurses training but after a year, in 1953, she married Sjouke Akkerman and left for Canada. The young couple lived for two years in New Westminster where 2 children were born. They then moved to Port Alberni raising their family of 5. At the age of 51 Wil went back to school to become a Long Term Care Worker, completing her life’s goal of working in health care. She worked in Port Alberni before moving to Abbotsford where she worked at Bethesda and Bevan Lodge. Aside from working she enjoyed, time with her family and grandchildren. While in Abbotsford she was blessed by reuniting with her childhood classmate Cory. Although our mom had difficult days in her life, she remained gracious and giving. She had the support of a prayerful and loving family in Holland and New Zealand. For her life and legacy, we are grateful and blessed. Her children; Daughter; Joanne Akkerman (Jack Dekens) Abbotsford. Son; Ray Akkerman (Ginette Pepin) N. Vancouver. Daughter; Marian Vanderwal (Rich) Abbotsford. Daughter Jacqueline Oostenbrink (Brian) Burnaby. Son; Ger Akkerman (Valerie) Surrey. Grandchildren; Annelise Dyck (Rylan), Jaclyn Cottrell, Matthew Akkerman, David Akkerman, Rachel Slomp (Joel), Jill Hoeppner (Kelwyn), Marie Vroom (Joseph), Lorene Barnum (Michael), Benjamin Oostenbrink, Kathryn Oostenbrink, Noah Akkerman and Drew Akkerman. Great Grandchildren; Wilemina/Willa Dyck, Justin Slomp. Her memorial service will be held Friday, December 5 at 1:30 p.m. at Trinity Christian Reformed Church, 3215 Trethewey St., Abbotsford.

BRADLEY, Thomas (Tom) The “Best Dad/Grandpa/Friend ever.” Passed away peacefully on November 30 to be reunited with his soul mate “Marjie”. Tom (“Chief”) was born April 5, 1925 in Vancouver and served Canada proudly in the Royal Canadian Navy in the Second World War and selflessly for the City of Vancouver for 38 years in the Vancouver Fire Department. He retired in 1984 as Chief of Rescue and Safety. Predeceased by his wife Marjorie Louise (Wilson), his dad Francis Thomas Bradley, mother Rose Elizabeth (Holliday), brother Frank and sisters’ Amy and Ethel. Tom leaves behind sons Bill, his wife Marguerite and grandchildren, Matthew, Catherine and Jessica and Norm and his wife, Sherry and granddaughters, Ashley and Courtney. Tom was very active in all youth sports. Tom coached the “Firefighters” Little League Baseball team at Renfrew Park for years and served in all offices of the organization. He also refereed youth football and baseball. Tom and his loving wife “Bear” were founding members of the BC Lions’ Lionbackers’ Club and original season ticket holders of the Seattle Seahawks. They were also passionate high school basketball fans. Upon retirement, Tom took up golf seriously as previously it was “a game for old, and now he qualified”. Tom, Marj and dog “Sam” travelled all over Canada and the US visiting golf courses, while watching Tom’s idol Jack Nicklaus. Tom’s life was simply to serve others. He served his country. He served his City. He served his community. He served his colleagues. He most importantly served his family and he helped everyone with anything and everything! Tom was a playful “brat” who had that mischievous twinkle in his eye. He was kind, caring, flirtatious, accepting and so loving. Whether it was playing “Tigers”, “Teacher”, “Barbies”, soccer or building whatever our hearts desired and were interested in, Grandpa was always there for us. We knew we could always call and count on him! Family was everything to Tom - he was our rock! We will follow his passion for living for the rest of our lives. You always think of him as someone who made you feel very special. He took such interest in everyone he met, and Bear and Chief opened their hearts and home to everyone. Private family remembrance will be held at a later date. The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff of Worthington Pavilion for their loving and playful care. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Vancouver Firefighters’ Charitable Society would be appreciated. Online condolences may be made at: www.wiebeandjeskefh.com Wiebe & Jeske 604.859.5885
