Judge didn’t see evidence, says family in sanctuary Under deportation order, Juhasz family maintains documents support abuse claim

JOINING LEGAL CHALLENGE

Dan FERGUSON Black Press

An Abbotsford mother and sons who found sanctuary in the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church in Langley say they were ordered deported by a judge who didn’t have all the facts. In his written decision ordering Marianna Juhasz and sons Patrik and Tamas returned to their native Hungary, Federal Court Judge Robert L. Barnes said the trio failed to provide evidence that would prove their claim of physical abuse by her ex-husband. In Barnes’ Nov. 10 decision, provided by the court to The News’ sister paper The Langley Times, the judge said it was “particularly troubling that the record before me fails to include a copy of the Hungarian child services decision … [that] references the allegations of child abuse that were central to the application for humanitarian and compassionate relief.” The judge also said that Marianna Juhasz “did not produce any medical information to corroborate her allegations of an alleged violent assault in June 2010” and went on to state that “I draw an adverse inference from this failure and I conclude that Ms. Juhasz was not assaulted as she alleged.” The Juhasz family sought sanctuary at the Langley church on Nov. 30 after the ruling. On Thursday (Jan. 22), Juhasz and her son Patrik told The Times they have Hungarian-language documentation that supports their claims and are in the process of getting it translated. “I have everything.” Marianna Juhasz said. The mother and son showed a Times reporter a two-inch-thick sheaf of documents, most of it in Hungarian, that they said includes reports by police and child welfare authorities which back their version of events. Among the documents was an English-language report from the Pal Bugat hospital in the town of Continued on A4

January 30, 2015 Upcoming Ban of Food Waste in Curbside Garbage Starting January 1, 2015 Metro Vancouver will ban food waste from garbage dropped off at their transfer stations and other Metro Vancouver disposal sites starting January 1, 2015. The Matsqui Transfer Station, used for disposal of garbage collected by the City, is included in this ban. Any curbside garbage delivered to the Matsqui Transfer Station that has more than 25% food waste by weight will result in a significant financial penalty to the City. To ensure City garbage trucks are not fined, curbside garbage may not be collected if notable food waste is found in the garbage. Curbside collection workers will provide warnings for initial exceedances of food waste in the garbage; however, ongoing or excessive exceedances may result in nonpickup of the garbage. If you are not already participating in the curbside compostable collection program, please begin participation as soon as possible to ensure your curbside garbage is collected. The diversion of compostables from garbage is good for the environment and saves the City money. Yard waste and recycling are already banned from garbage.

Applications Being Accepted for Affordable Housing Unit

Frozen Material in Curbside Containers

The City of Abbotsford is accepting applications to purchase a $220,000 two bedroom, three bathroom townhouse with a finished bachelor ground-level suite. The unit is in Harmony, 2220 McKenzie Road, which is a four-year old, 11-unit, affordable townhouse project.

Winter temperatures can freeze garbage and compost inside your curbside container and make it difficult to collect. To avoid injury and damaging containers, collection workers are only able to provide limited shaking and hitting of containers against the truck to dislodge frozen materials. To prevent compostable materials from freezing to the sides of your container, please line it with crumpled newspaper, paper, dry grass, branches or cedar needles. Please also ensure your garbage and compost containers have a secure lid when placing them outdoors to prevent rain from entering and freezing. If you have any questions, please contact the City of Abbotsford Engineering Department at eng-info@abbotsford.ca or 604-864-5514.

Applicants must meet the eligibility criteria in order to purchase the unit. Applications will be accepted in person, beginning Wednesday, February 11 at 9:00 am at Abbotsford City Hall, Planning Services, 2nd Floor. Applicants must bring appropriate documents to prove eligibility at the time they apply. Applicants without the relevant documents will not be considered. Detailed information about eligibility is available on the cityâ€™s website at www.abbotsford.ca/harmony, through the Planning Services Department at 604-864-5510 or by email at planning-info@abbotsford.ca.

Snow & Ice Control The goal of the Cityâ€™s Snow and Ice Control Program is to maintain travel routes where there is snow and ice on roads and restore mobility for the traveling public. Our roads are classified:

The curbside compostable collection program includes food waste (meat, bones, vegetables, fruit, bread, dairy, tea bags, paper towels, etc.) and yard waste (leaves, weeds, branches, plants, shrubs, etc.). For more information, please visit www.abbotsford.ca/collection or email eng-info@abbotsford.ca.

Notice of Neighbourhood Information Meeting Proposed development of a new Fire Hall #5 for property located at 30373 Merryfield Avenue

First priority roads are maintained until conditions are under control subject to worker/equipment availability and weather. Only then are resources redirected to second priority routes and subsequently third priority routes. The City does not remove snow and ice to bare pavement conditions. The public is encouraged to use caution, and wherever possible, park vehicles off the streets. Abandoned vehicles or vehicles obstructing roadways will be towed without notice to allow for snow clearing operations to continue and towing costs will be the responsibility of the vehicle owners. We ask that you do not plow snow from private properties onto the public roadways as this can result in visibility hazards and obstructions and will require additional time for clearing roadways. The City will work 24 hour days until the snow ends and first priority routes are passable for travel. Additional information on our Snow and Ice Control Program can be found at www.abbotsford.ca/SIC. For more information, please contact the Engineering Operations Division at 604-853-5485.

The City of Abbotsford will hold a neighbourhood information meeting to consult with the public on a proposal to develop a new Fire Hall #4, which would replace the existing Fire Hall #4 on the same property. A rezoning application to rezone the lands from Parks, Open Space and School Zone (P2) to Civic Institutional Zone (P1) and a development variance permit application to reduce building setbacks, landscaping and parking are necessary to allow the proposed new Fire Hall #4 to be constructed on the subject property.

The City of Abbotsford will hold a neighbourhood information meeting to consult with the public on a proposal to develop a new Fire Hall #5 at 30373 Merryfield Avenue (the subject property), which would replace the existing Fire Hall #5 currently located at 5875 Mt. Lehman Road. A rezoning application to rezone the subject property from Suburban Residential Zone (SR) to Civic Institutional Zone (P1) is necessary to allow the proposed new Fire Hall #5 to be constructed on the subject property.

The public is invited to attend this meeting to comment on the proposed development of the new Fire Hall #4. The applicant will be available to answer questions regarding the proposed development and presentation boards will also be available to outline the preliminary proposal in greater detail.

Auto crime on the rise in 2015 Stolen vehicles up 62%; thefts from vehicles up 25%

100%

Non-GMO

Store

It’s still early, but the first four weeks of 2015 have seen a dramatic rise in auto crime, according to the Abbotsford Police Department (APD). The APD says thefts from vehicles is 25 per cent higher than the same period last year, with 121 thefts reported since Jan. 1. The number of stolen vehicles has risen even higher. Forty-four vehicles have

been reported stolen in Abbotsford, up 62 per cent from the 27 stolen over the first four weeks of 2014. The APD says it’s conducting more patrols and has “focused resources on offenders known to engage in auto crime.” But APD Const. Ian MacDonald says the public also has a part to play in reducing auto crime. In most of the theft from

vehicles, the doors were unlocked. Thieves only had to force their way into vehicles a quarter of the time. By locking the doors of vehicles and removing all valuables, police say the public can have a dramatic effect on the auto crime rate. Of those cars stolen, most did not use an anti-theft device, even though many would have been eligible for

a free device from the APD. Eligible vehicles include pre2002 Honda Civics, Honda Accords, Dodge and Ford pickup trucks and Dodge Caravans. Owners of those most-frequently stolen vehicles can bring in their insurance documents to the Community Police Office at 105-34194 Marshall Rd. to receive a free steering wheel lock.

Gyöngyös, Hungary that states Marianna Juhasz was treated for an injury to one arm around the time of the alleged violent assault. The report described her arm as “bruised and sensitive” and said it was not an accident, but inflicted “by a person” who was not identified. Marianna Juhasz told The Times she was afraid to name her husband as the attacker at the time. She fled Hungary with her sons shortly afterwards. Patrik Juhasz said additional documents that support their version of events have also been located. “We’re getting more from Hungary, from my grandma,” he told The Times. The family applied to stay in Canada on humanitarian grounds shortly after they arrived in Toronto four years ago, saying they fled Hungary because Tamas, the youngest son, was being abused by his father. One of the English-language docu-

In October, friends and co-workers of Marianna and her boys rallied in Abbotsford to protest the deportation order. ments provided by the family to The News refers to the father “slapping” Tamas. The Barnes decision doesn’t dispute the claim the son suffered abuse, but concludes that “concerns about Tamas’ psychological health are fully addressed.”

“There is no evidence that Tamas will be forced to see his father or that the Hungarian child welfare authorities would be indifferent to his interests if visitation issues were to arise,” Barnes wrote. Marianna Juhasz said she doesn’t believe the authorities in Hungary will be able to protect her or her sons if they are forced to go back. The Walnut Grove Lutheran Church is also providing sanctuary to Langley resident José Figueroa, who has lived at the church since October of 2013 after he was ordered deported back to his native El Salvador. Figueroa, a married father of three Canadian-born children, was ordered expelled under a zero-tolerance law that considers a Salvadorian political party he was involved with to be a terrorist group — even though the party, the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), is not on any Canadian terrorist list, and is now the democratically elected government of El Salvador.

Concerns and support for west Abbotsford development Proposal would see 400 apartments and 35 townhouses at Maclure and Livingstone Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

The increase in traffic from a proposed development of 435 housing units in west Abbotsford was a major concern for neighbours at a public hearing on Monday – but supporters spoke on the need for housing and density in the area. The proposal would see 400 apartment units and 35 townhouse units at Maclure Road and Livingstone Avenue built on what is currently zoned as country residential, with a portion designated as resource conservation land. If approved, the project would be required to meet a number of conditions, including a payment of almost $350,000 to the city’s parkland acquisition fund and $200,000 for habitat compensation in the neighbouring Gardner Park, which would include the installation of new streams and ponds, removal of invasive species and the replanting of areas with naturally occurring vegetation. Eric Taylor, a resident of Livingstone Avenue, said the development would have a negative impact on traffic, saying the area – which is near the exit to Highway 1 and Fraser Highway –

Multiple residents also spoke about the impact of traffic from drivers heading to commercial developments in the area, such as the Highstreet shopping centre, which is frequently accessed along Blue Jay Street, which is a continuation of Livingstone Avenue. John Vissers, who is not a resident of the area but has been chair of the city’s environmental advisory committee, said he was in favour of the project. He said the density and proximity to shopping would help get people out of cars and walking to nearby destinations, densifying in an area that can handle it. He wanted the money given to the city’s parkland acquisition fund to be used to purchase similar habitat or replace natural habitat. Paul Esposito Sr., who is the director of Red Valley Enterprises Ltd., the applicant on the project, said the development will respond to a need for affordable housing in Abbotsford. He owns a business in Highstreet and said the businesses there need customers and the development would add more people to the area. Council deferred their decision on the proposal to the next meeting.

BCCLA joins homeless legal challenge Civil liberties group will be intervenor in lawsuit over camping in parks Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

The B.C. Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) has gained intervenor status in a lawsuit against the City of Abbotsford – launched by members of the homeless community and their advocates – arguing city bylaws against camping in parks are unconstitutional. The city is in the midst of a legal challenge from an advocacy group, the B.C./Yukon Association of Drug War Survivors, and non-profit legal organization Pivot Legal Society, which are representing some of the homeless in Abbotsford. In a trial expected to proceed in June, Pivot lawyers will argue the city’s bylaws that prohibit camping in parks and erecting structures are unconstitutional. Pivot lawyer DJ Larkin has said that the laws essentially criminalize being homeless. Laura Track, staff legal counsel with the BCCLA, said their role as an intervenor will be to offer the court “broader perspective on the systemic issues at stake in the case.” She said there are significant human rights and civil liberties issues involved and it is important for the court to have more analysis as they consider the

ONLINE abbynews.com

impacts of Abbotsford bylaws on the homeless population. Equal access to public spaces is critical to the dignity and autonomy of all people, said Track, adding that the city’s bylaws have deprived the homeless of their access. She said the restrictions are “particularly egregious” to people who are homeless because they do not have access to private space. BCCLA hopes to see the Abbotsford bylaws that prevent people from being in parks after 10 p.m. and from erecting shelters to be struck down, she said. Track explained that the bylaws are similar to those at issue in a court case involving the city of Victoria in 2008, when the BC Supreme Court held that city bylaws prohibiting the homeless from erecting shelters in a city park violated their Charter rights if shelter was unavailable. The decision was upheld in 2009 by the BC Court of Appeal. The Victoria precedent should be applied across the province, said Track, but noted cities like Abbotsford take the position that it does not. She said they hope the litigation ensures “people experiencing homelessness and their advocates don’t have to continue to challenge these bylaws one at a time.” She said that while most communities

have similar bylaws, not all communities have the same level of homelessness that Abbotsford does. “We are hoping that Abbotsford will bolster the precedent set in Victoria and remind municipalities across the province of their obligations not to enact bylaws that harm their homeless populations.” She said they aren’t satisfied with homeless people living in poor conditions on the street, but they need to start with ensuring that people can be safe. The News requested an interview with Mayor Henry Braun, who was unavailable before press deadline. The city responded with a statement indicating that the City of Abbotsford is unable to comment on matters that are currently before the court. Abbotsford has recently announced new supportive housing that will house 20 homeless men in the community, and an assertive community treatment (ACT) team, which will provide on-theground services such as health care to people on the streets. Track said “it’s great news and will make a huge difference to the residents of Abbotsford – it doesn’t change what has happened in the past and certainly doesn’t change our view about the constitutionality of these bylaws.”

Abbotsford News

Every three months, mothers-to-be from around Abbotsford gather in the Abbotsford Community Services (ACS) kitchen to laugh, learn and, most importantly, cook. The women, many of whom are single and all facing challenges of one kind or another, attend the ACS’s Cooking With Moms program, which brings them together to make freezable meals for those busy days after baby is born. After just a couple hours in the kitchen, the women will have made four large meals that can help tide them over after giving birth. They’ll also have learned skills and strategies that can hopefully decrease the cost and stress that comes with feeding a young family. “It’s a great time,” says facilitator Cindy Reisig. It’s also just one example of how the Abbotsford Community Foundation (ACF), which funds the program, has grown and changed in its 35 years of existence. The organization was founded in late 1979 with the aim of providing financial support for the area’s parks and recreation facilities. Since then, the foundation has expanded its mission to the point where it now boasts a $10-million endowment. Those who donate money can stipulate how it is used and the interest from the endowment provides funds for everything from school bursaries and scholarships to environmental organizations to health care charities and more. Community foundations are based around the principle of endowment giving, in which money from a donation provides a capital base for annual gifts like scholarships. With a simple agreement, philanthropists can set up their own funds at the foundation, with the money to be dispersed as the donor sees fit. “It makes it relatively easy for peo-

And because that capital remains with the foundation permanently, an endowed gift can leave a long legacy. “Even if you or your relative are no longer here, the foundation will continue on,” McAlevy said. Last year the foundation, which manages the endowed scholarships through the Abbotsford School District and Mennonite Education Institute, helped give away 300 awards and $280,000 to local students. In addition to managing other organizations and philanthropists’ funds, the ACF boasts its own Smart and Caring Community Fund, from which it directs money to local deserving organizations. With the foundation’s 2014 Vital Signs project showing that child poverty is a major issue in Abbotsford, the ACF has targeted organizations and programs – like Cooking With Moms – that can help improve the situation. Last year, the fund issued $100,000 to nine different organizations and programs. The ACF hopes to raise $300,000 by 2017. It will celebrate its 35th anniversary with a gala in May, with all proceeds going to the fund. For more, visit www.abbotsfordcf.org

Over the course, of the next few months, members from the Cycling4Diversity team will be cycling to schools and handing out the contest entries with the deadline ending on April 30. The question we are asking middle school students is: In 30 days, how you would impact cultural diversity in Abbotsford/ Mission, and explain the significance of multiculturalism in the community to you and your family? A question that is action-oriented, and hopefully, there are a few fabulous ideas we can implement. The colouring contest is for students ages 5-10 and its always nice to see the creativity and artwork. The deadline for the Abbotsford News Diversity Challenge is April 30 and forms can be picked up at The News and should be emailed to contests@abbynews.com or dropped off at The News on Gladys Avenue.

Just a year after moving their American Hockey League franchise out of Abbotsford, the Calgary Flames are expected to announce their farm team is again in motion as part of a major AHL shift west to California. The AHL has called a press conference for Friday in San Jose including team officials from the Flames, the San Jose Sharks, the Anaheim Ducks, the Los Angeles Kings, and the Edmonton Oilers. It’s expected those teams will be relocating their franchises to cities in California. Since leaving Abbotsford last spring, Calgary’s farm team has been playing out of Glens Falls, N.Y., and is now known as the Adirondack Flames. The anticipated moves have renewed speculation and hope that the Vancouver Canucks will one day move their own AHL team west

from Utica, N.Y., where they currently play, and possibly locate in the Abbotsford Centre. The AHL’s lack of west coast teams – and the travel and costs associated with frequent trips east – had been cited as a reason both for the struggles of the Abbotsford Heat and the Vancouver Canucks’ own possible reluctance to move their affiliate to this area. Although Wednesday’s announcement of the AHL’s press conference triggered much speculation online, the Canucks have previously expressed enthusiasm with their current arrangement in Utica and have a contract through the 2015-16 season. While word has leaked out about the other west-bound teams, there has been no indication the Canucks’ affiliate would follow the other franchises west.

Public meetings for two proposed fire hall rebuilds Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

Public meetings will be held early in February on proposals to rebuild two local fire halls. The sessions will focus on the redevelopment of fire halls 4 and 5. Fire hall 4 would be redeveloped to replace the the existing hall on the same property at 5775 Wallace Street, just west of the Abbotsford-Mission Highway. Fire hall 5 would move from its current location on Mt. Lehman Road north of Harris Road, to 30373 Merryfield Ave., south

of the existing location. The need to replace the two halls was identified in the 2014 budget, to address seismic and operational issues, and the city decided to retain a construction management firm to develop a final budget. Fire hall 4 in Matsqui Village was built in 1963. It serves the agricultural area of Matsqui Prairie and the Abbotsford-Mission corridor. It does not meet B.C. building code seismic requirements. It was originally scheduled for replacement in 2002, according to fire servicesâ€™ 2011-2020

Public Safety Notice – Snowmobiler and Winter Recreation Users Winter recreationalists and snowmobilers should be aware that construction of the Interior to Lower Mainland (ILM) Transmission Line continues. On-site activities include on-going maintenance of access roads; tower assembly and erection; and stringing of the conductor (transmission lines). The ILM right-of-way continues to be a construction zone with restricted access. Restricted access is required for worker and public safety to avoid risks associated with construction materials and equipment, or other potential hazards that may be hidden or partially hidden by the snow. Please avoid using the right-of-way for your activities. If you are in the area, use extra care when traveling around the right-of-way. The ILM project is a new 247 kilometre 500 kilovolt transmission line between Merritt and Coquitlam that will expand the electrical system so that BC Hydro can continue to deliver clean and reliable energy to homes and businesses in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. For more information on the project please visit: bchydro.com/ilm.

ative and fun learning,” said Anna Williams, educational programmer at The Reach Gallery Museum Abbotsford. On Feb. 3, author and journalist Trudy Beyak questions what God is like, and in what ways are both males and females created in the image of God. Her book on this subject appeals to the unique spiritual interests of this generation. For over 5,000 years, scholars focused on the fatherly qualities of God’s love, but Beyak questions if they missed the maternal side. Beyak, a devout Christian, spent five years on a spiritual journey interviewing 50 leaders, celebrities and scholars of various faiths, from Oxford University to the Vatican and Germany searching for answers. On Feb. 10, Sharanjit Kaur Sandhra, of the Centre for IndoCanadian Studies, and Kris Foulds of The Reach will take attendees on an exhibition tour at the Sikh Heritage Temple. They will look at the role of the only 10 Canadian-Sikh soldiers who served in the First World War and their stories, as well as a historical challenging of the notion of Sikhs as a so-called “Martial Race.” For that event only, attendees will meet at the Sikh Heritage Museum (33094 South Fraser Way). For other upcoming events visit hereach.ca/ events-programs. Each event, held Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. at The Reach, is free with pre-registration by phone 604-864-8087 (dial 0), or online at thereach.ca/eventsprograms and click the link to register.

The company owes more than $100 million to creditors. The company has 1,700 employees. About 25 locations were expected to be closed by the end of last week, with five more stores shuttered by the end of the month, a bankruptcy trustee told Canadian Press. The Abbotsford Mexx remains open. An employee at the store said they don’t know when the location will be closed.

A seminar will focus on the impact of stress on health, entitled The Best Medicine for the 21st Century, while raising funds for a charity that helps impoverished kids in Southeast Asia. The seminar, which takes place Feb. 7, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Ross Road Community Church, will feature a variety of speakers, including Judy Griffioen on joy and addressing the damaging effects of anticipated negative thinking patterns; biochemist Muneer Esmail on what happens in the blood under stress; comedian Cliff Prang on laughter as the best medicine; voice teacher Michelle Wright on the health benefits of singing; Zumba instructor Michelle Thivierge on the benefits of exercise; chiropractor Aron Ens on what happens under stress; and Ariene Poelke on the calming effects of oils. The $30 fee will go to help one impoverished child living in northern Thailand, Myanmar or the Philippines for one month, through the faithbased registered charity GNI Ministries and their partner ministry at the Garden of Hope in northern Thailand. At the Garden of Hope, an average of 30 children are kept off the streets each day, fed healthy meals, taught music and moral values, in addition to being sponsored to stay in school. In Myanmar, a growing ministry reaches 65 children and in Davao, in the Philippines, they reach 53 children. Tickets are available at the church, House of James and Living Well Vitamins.

Introducing the BFGoodrich® All-Terrain T/A® K02 tire Meets Tire and Rubber Association of Canada (TRAC) requirements for severe snow traction in all sizes.

The local school calendar for 2015-16 will be presented for debate at a board of education meeting on Feb. 24, held at 7 p.m. at the school board office (2790 Tims Street). The proposed calendar is developed to meet the minimum hours of instruction necessary for students. The proposal includes two-week vacations in spring and winter and six non-instructional days. Christmas holidays would be held from Dec. 21 to Jan. 1, with schools reopening on Jan. 4. Spring break would held from March 14 to 24, followed immediately by Good Friday and the Easter holidays. Students would head back to class on Tuesday, March 29. Parents and guardians who would like to provide feedback can attend the regular board meeting on Feb. 3 at 7 p.m. in the boardroom at the school district office. Those who wish to address the board must contact Lois Hiebert, executive assistant in the superintendent’s office, at 604-852-2366 ext. 1230 before noon on Jan. 29. They can also comment through an online survey by Feb. 13 on the district website at www.sd34.bc.ca/ board/consultations/ calendar.

Psoriatic arthritis affects many people plaques. Psoriatic arthritis can develop at any time, but it is common between the ages of 35 and 55. Environmental factors, genes and immune system responses play a role in the onset of the disease. Patients with psoriatic arthritis can develop inflammation of their tendons, cartilage, eyes, lung lining, and sometimes aorta. Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis do not necessarily occur at the same time. Psoriasis generally comes first and then is followed by the joint disease. The skin ailment

People who suffer from psoriasis or have a family history of this skin condition may be at risk for psoriatic arthritis, a serious disease that causes extensive swelling and joint pain. The Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Education Center notes that up to 30 percent of people with psoriasis also develop psoriatic arthritis. Psoriasis is an auto-immune skin condition in which the skin reproduces cells at an accelerated rate. This causes patches of flaky, irritated skin, also known as

precedes the arthritis in nearly 80 percent of patients. Psoriatic arthritis is a rheumatic disease that can affect body tissues as well as joints. Psoriatic arthritis shares many features with several other arthritic conditions, such as ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis and arthritis associated with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. In many cases, psoriatic arthritis affects the distal joints, those that are closest to the nail in fingers and toes. The lower back, knees, ankles, and wrists also are affected.

It is important to talk to a dermatologist if you suffer from psoriasis and also experience stiffness or pain in joints. This may be indicative that psoriatic arthritis is present. Treatments usually include a combination of medications and therapeutic exercises to reduce pain and swelling. Pain relievers help but may be combined with stronger medications, such as corticosteroids, as well as medications that suppress the immune system.

Question of the Week

The concept features a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain linked to a 36 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that Hyundai boasts will provide a range of 600 kilometres. By the way, British Columbians will soon be able to lease a Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, with a similar powertrain and a reported range of 425 kms. Subaru VIZIV2 The Subaru concept crossover utility hybrid shown is a four-door version of a previously revealed two-door. Get this: Subaru says its “athletic, rugged shape of the sides seem designed in the image of a muscular NHL defenceman, and the fenders flare in a sturdy style.” Ahem. Looks like it came out of the Nissan/Infiniti design studios, and that’s not a criticism. Toyota FT1 Toyota was all about the roar of the engines in Montreal, which certainly pleased the gathered Quebec auto journos, who to a man/woman always appear to be race crazy to me (Given the market reality in Quebec, that doesn’t appear to be reflected in car buyer choices). Nevertheless, most would surely enjoy the sleek lines of the Toyota FT-1, designed to be at home on the track and a heck of a ticket magnet on the highway. Up next is the Toronto Show, which takes the name The Canadian International Auto Show. Bite your lip, Morgan. The Calgary show follows, then the new-look, re-imagined Vancouver International Auto Show debuts March 24-29.

Putting out the welcome mat: UFV wrestlers host first-ever home meet Itâ€™s been a year of firsts for the University of the Fraser Valley wrestling program in its inaugural season: first tourney win, first No. 1-ranking in Canada and now, the program will host its firstever meet this Sunday. More than 130 wrestlers from across Western Canada will be

participating in the Cascades Classic at the Envision Athletic Centre. â€œWeâ€™re really excited for it,â€? said co-coach Raj Virdi. â€œItâ€™ll be a good tournament, because youâ€™ll see a lot of club guys wrestle as well, guys who are on the national team.â€?

Five Canada West programs â€“ the Calgary Dinos, Alberta Golden Bears/Pandas, Saskatchewan Huskies, Regina Cougars and Winnipeg Wesmen â€“ plus wrestlers from the NCAA Div. 2 Simon Fraser Clan will be at the meet. In just its first season of competition, the wrestlers from UFV sit

atop the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) rankings. â€œIt was a surprise,â€? admitted Chanmit Phulka, who won a silver medal at 100 kg at the Golden Bear Open. â€œWe didnâ€™t think weâ€™d be ranked No. 1, because weâ€™d only been to two tournaments and we havenâ€™t

competed against any teams from the East yet. â€œBut rankings are just rankings. Come the Canada West and the CIS (championships), thatâ€™s what really matters.â€? The Cascades Classic begins at 9 a.m. on Sunday and runs until roughly 2 p.m.

Yale rugby players named to elite squads week development camp at Shawnigan Lake that begins on Feb. 27. At the conclusion of the camp, a roster will be selected to represent Canada at an upcoming tournament in Romania. Connor Byron and Diego Zuniga, Grade 10, meanwhile, have been selected to the U16 BC Youth 7s squad that will be participating in a tour to Las Vegas from Feb. 11 to 15. Mackenzie Carson, Grade 11, made the U17 BC Youth 7s female team that is headed to the

same tournament in Las Vegas. “It shows that the program is really strong and we’ve got some good coaching,” said rugby coach Clayton Radons, noting that the school has a total of five coaches. That’s a good thing, because rugby is now the most popular sport at the school based on participation numbers. “Our participation numbers are just massive - its the main sport [at the school] numberswise. [There are more kids] in rugby than any other sports.”

OBITUARIES

McCORMACK, Helena Caroline

EPP Marie (nee Schmidt) Marie age ninety-one, died peacefully on Tuesday, January 27, 2015 in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. Her surviving two sons and three daughters were thankfully all present for the last weeks of her life, but sadly only a few of her thirteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. An avid letter-writer and sender-of-cards including the annual birthday cheque, Marie delighted in being a modern grandmother when it came to the new technology of texts, Facebook, and photo-sharing. It let her communicate with her dispersed family: Shirley May (1947) nee Epp and Dale Whittles farm in Battleford, SK; Mary Ann (1948) nee Epp and David Roberts enjoy semirural Ephrata, PA, USA; Edward John (1950) Epp and Leanne Boschman now live in Vancouver, BC; Gordon James (1951) and Cheryl Epp make their home in Abbotsford, BC; while Linda Joy Epp (1956) embraces urban Toronto, ON. Marie was pre-deceased by her parents, husband, four sisters, three brothers, and two grandchildren. On January 29, family and friends gathered at the Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, at 12:30 for a visitation, followed by a burial service at 2:00. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday January 31st, 2 pm at Bakerview Church, 2285 Clearbrook Road in Abbotsford. Donations in memory of Marie can be made to the Abbotsford Hospice Society www.abbotsfordhospice.org. The family greatly appreciates the tender care received by Marie at the Tertiary Palliative Care Unit at ARH! For more information on Marie’s life and to leave condolences for the family please visit:
