Police worried about ‘escalating tensions’ Two recent violent incidents believed to be linked Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Police Department believes two recent violent incidents involving gunfire could be linked, with a potential for “escalating tensions and threats to public safety.”

Const. Ian MacDonald said police are worried about the possibility of the violence con-

tinuing or getting worse.

“We are concerned that instead of bullets hitting houses, vehicles and trees, they start hitting people,” he said.

The first incident took place Feb. 22 in the 2300 block of Holly Street – in the area of Clearbrook and Peardonville roads.

Two men in their 20s were involved in an altercation that resulted in one being shot and

the other being stabbed. Both were taken to hospital, where they recovered.

At least a couple of rounds hit a neighbour’s home and one hit a parked vehicle.

The second incident occurred on Monday night at a home in the 31400 block of Southern Drive – in the area of Townline and Maclure roads.

Police received several reports of shots being

Allegations of ‘assault/harassment’ No police investigation on UFV wrestlers

Abbotsford News

New Patients Welcome!

Police are now saying that four University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) wrestlers who were suspended from a national competition last weekend are the subjects of an allegation of “assault/harassment.”

But there is currently no criminal investigation into the matter, said Calgary Police Service (CPS) spokesperson Lindsay Nykoluk

in a written statement issued to The News on Wednesday.

“The (CPS) and the Abbotsford Police Department are confirming that neither agency has been contacted by victim(s) in relation to an allegation of assault/harassment that is alleged to have taken place in Calgary the weekend of Feb. 14, 2015,” the statement read.

The Abbotsford News

reported last week that four male wrestlers were part of a “conduct investigation” at UFV and had been suspended from participating in the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) Wrestling Championship on Feb. 27 and 28 at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.

UFV authorities would not reveal the nature of the alleged misconduct, citing pri-

No one was hurt, and neighbours reported hearing vehicles flee the area quickly after the sound of gunfire.

MacDonald said one of the homes struck by bullets is associated to a known South Asian gang member, whom he wouldn’t name.

The motive for the shooting is unknown, although it does appear to be a targeted incident, he said.

MacDonald said the people involved in both incidents have not co-operated with the investigation.

“Some of the information provided has actually been misleading.”

He said this has made it difficult for police to obtain vehicle and suspect descriptions and other details to aid in their investigations.

MacDonald urged residents to be vigilant about reporting suspicious activity to the police or letting them know of planned criminal activity before it happens.

“Maybe we can put a lid on (the violence); maybe we can suppress it,” he said.

MacDonald wouldn’t confirm whether police believe the incidents are connected to the ongoing Townline Hill conflict in west Abbotsford.

Police first reported last July that there was an ongoing dispute between two groups of young South Asian men in the Townline Hill area.

The conflict has involved incidents of mischief, assault, vandalism and arson.

Last October, 18-year-old Harwin Baringh was fatally shot while in his vehicle on Sparrow Drive in west Abbotsford, but police have not confirmed whether his murder is related to the dispute.

However, court documents filed in December by the director of civil forfeiture to seize two vehicles alleged to have ties to Baringh’s murder indicated that his death was linked to an “ongoing gang conflict” between the Dhaliwal and Chahil crime groups.

Abbotsford should contribute to West Coast Express costs: Mission mayor

A5

Online all the time. 24/7

Randy Hawes said Abbotsford riders use service too Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

Mission Mayor Randy Hawes would like to see Abbotsford pay for some of the district’s costs associated with the West Coast Express (WCE) station, but he isn’t holding his breath.

The district pays Translink nearly $1 million for both the rail and TrainBus services, but Hawes would like to see the City of Abbotsford contribute because its residents also use the rail link to get to Vancouver.

“Probably the majority of the people who take the train … in the morning are from Abbotsford, and they’re not paying,” Hawes told The News.

He raised the issue at a February joint meeting of council, telling participants that “if costs continue to rise the District of Mission may require support from Abbotsford,” according to minutes from the meeting.

Hawes said it’s not the first time he’s suggested Abbotsford

File photo

Mission pays nearly $1 million annually for rail and TrainBus services. pay, and he’s not optimistic the city will actually contribute.

Abbotsford, so far, hasn’t been receptive to the idea, and Hawes says there’s nothing Mission can do to force their hand.

“It would be nice

if they contributed, but to be honest we have nothing to compel them to do it, so I’m not holding my breath,” he said. “It’s not fair, but who said life is fair?”

Hawes also suggested that the ser-

vice could be paid for through the regional district.

“It seems to me it is a regional service.”

The cost of the WCE has risen substantially since the District of Mission signed a new agreement in 2011.

That year, the district listed just $316,062 in costs associated with the WCE, with it fairly evenly split between the train and bus services.

The new agreement saw Mission’s share of contributions rise from five to 20 per cent for its portion of the service, and in 2015, the district had $980,000 budgeted for the two services, with the train responsible for $780,600.

The agreement expires this year, although the district retains the option to extend it until 2019.

Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun was out of town, but city manager George Murray said in a written statement that “Any proposals from Mission city council would have to be reviewed by Abbotsford city council.

“As Mission continues their discussions with TransLink I expect that Mayor Hawes will likely continue to provide Abbotsford with information he feels is relevant.”

Court rules Alzheimer’s patient must be fed Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A B.C. Court of Appeal panel has dismissed an appeal contesting an earlier decision that an Abbotsford nursing home must continue to feed an Alzheimer’s patient, despite her family’s wishes.

The ruling, made Tuesday, upholds the February 2014 decision that staff at Maplewood House must continue to feed Margaret Bentley.

Bentley’s daughter, Katherine Hammond, and Bentley’s husband John, filed a petition against Maplewood Seniors’ Care Society, Fraser Health and the provincial government in August 2013.

They indicated that Bentley, 83, had prepared a “statement of wishes” (living will) in 1991 – eight years before the onset of her condition – stating that she be fed “no nourishment or liquids”

if she were in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s.

As a former nurse, she had seen what the condition is like, and “she wished to be allowed to die if she reached such a state,” according to the petition.

Bentley continued to stress her wishes when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 1999 at the age of 68, the petition stated.

By 2010, she was in a “vegetative state” and no longer recognized family members, was unable to speak and made limited physical movements.

Maplewood staff have been feeding her by spoon and offering her liquids. They stated that Bentley opens her mouth when a glass or spoon is placed on her lower lip, but also refuses nourishment by keeping her mouth closed. They argued that denying her food and allowing her to die would constitute neglect and

would be a criminal act.

Justice Bruce Greyell agreed in February 2014 that Bentley must continue to be fed, as she had been consenting to take food and water. On appeal, the petitioners argued that Greyell had erred in that decision and that Bentley had been “prompted” to eat and drink, which constituted “battery.”

The three-judge appeal court panel disagreed and said they believed Bentley has consented to eating or drinking, and Maplewood staff do not go further when she does not open her mouth.

Justice Mary Newbury said she understood how difficult it must be for Bentley’s family to be unable to comply with what they believe to have been her wishes.

“It is a grave thing, however, to ask or instruct caregivers to stand by and watch a patient starve to death,” she said in the written decision.

Executive director leaves The Reach

Abbotsford News

After less than a year as executive director of The Reach, Sheila Perry has left her position at the gallery.

Perry began working at The Reach last year

in June, taking over for the previous director, Suzanne Greening, who left to become director at Whistler’s new Audain Gallery.

Milt Walker, chair of the board of directors at The Reach, said Perry

resigned recently for personal reasons.

For the time being, Laura Schneider, The Reach’s curator, will be acting executive director. Schneider is also new to The Reach, joining the staff in mid-

January. The board will start a search for a new director, said Walker, but added that as The Reach has exhibits planned well in advance, it doesn’t have to be done immediately.

Perry is originally from B.C. and came to Abbotsford after working at the Woodstock Art Gallery in Woodstock, Ont., where she conducted an operational analysis, organized program-

ming, and developed a business plan reporting on findings.

Previously, Perry was appointed in January 2009 as the director of The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery in St. John’s, N.L., where she re-

mained until taking the Woodstock position.

She studied art history and classics at the University of Alberta, and went on to earn a master of museum studies from England’s University of Leicester.

Pivot to appeal costs related to court case Lawyer for homeless to ask judge to require police to cover some costs

Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

As a challenge to the constitutionality of Abbotsford’s bylaws against camping in parks heads to court this summer, Pivot Legal Society representatives say they require information from Abbotsford police that

could cost thousands of dollars.

DJ Larkin, a lawyer on the case representing some of the homeless in Abbotsford, said Pivot is looking for documents about how homeless people are treated in their interactions with police, such as end-ofshift logs for bike patrol

officers, and files specific to eight individuals who have been homeless. While the city is the party named in the suit, Larkin said there are allegations about the police department and the documents are necessary to the case.

A judge has previously ruled the Abbotsford

Police Department (APD) was to be treated as a third party and was entitled to recover any costs stemming from the case.

Pivot will appeal the judge’s decision, and the issue is currently set to go to the Court of Appeal on March 17.

Pivot will ask the court

to create a legal test to determine when it is reasonable to pay for third-party documents, and, in this case, why it would be reasonable to have a group of homeless people pay thousands for documents needed for litigation.

Const. Ian MacDonald said Pivot and the judge

have recognized the APD as a third party. He said there is a real cost to police providing the documents – between $24,000 and $29,000 – for three individuals to compile all the files requested.

He said if Pivot doesn’t cover the costs, it falls on the taxpayers

Playbox in Berry Park vandalized Boxes designed to put toys in local parks of equipment, but so far only Berry Park has been affected.

The access codes can be gained by signing up online with Healthy Abbotsford. Between October and December 2014, about 140 families registered to receive the codes and many have enjoyed the use of the equipment, Enns said.

The Berry Park playbox has been relocked and the code will be changed. Staff will be determining their next steps by emailing those participating for ideas and feedback, said Enns.

A public playbox filled with toys designed to help get kids active in a local park was recently vandalized and damaged.

Playboxes were installed in three Abbotsford parks – Grant, Berry and Pepin Brook – with lock codes to allow families access to toys, balls and hula hoops.

Berry Park’s playbox is the only one that has been vandalized. The wrapping was cut, there was graffiti on the box, the lock was broken, and about $100 worth of equipment had

Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask! Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent.

Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?” Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home.

Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold.

This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-

served for the real estate agents and their clients.

This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home.

To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811.

This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.

QUESTION

WebTalk

OF THE WEEK

Nurse attacked

Do you think Abbotsford taxpayers should be assisting Mission with the costs of the West Coast Express?

There are other forms of assault not just physical; however, to work in a place that does not protect their staff is frightening considering the various levels of patients’ health requirements. Not just the staff are at risk; it is also other patients that need to be considered.

Kim Van Tilborg

To answer, go to abbynews.com

God bless the nurses, they are the best of humanity.

Tim Felger

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

This is awful and there needs to be more protection in all hospitals for staff and patients, I have been a patient at Abbotsford Hospital on five separate emergency conditions and have never seen better hospital care from nurses, doctors, social workers, dietary, and cleaning staff, in fact, any staff.

Dianne Park

Are you in favour of the change to community mailboxes rather than door-to-door delivery?

On Point “Boobies Make Me Smile.”

Those were the words on a sticker I saw the other day.

The sticker was stuck on a T-shirt, over the left breast of a young lass, working at a local commercial business.

I looked.

And then I realized I was looking.

It was one of those completely-cluelessas-to-what-to-do-now man-moments.

As a standard rule, a guy ought not to be looking there. Eyes up, mister!

But she obviously put the sticker there, and it had a message that one just had to read. Which meant I was supposed to look. Right?

I stop looking.

And then I thought, should I inquire as to what this is about? There was some very small print on the sticker, which may have explained what this all meant. But then I’d

have to look again. Closely. That absolutely could not be good.

I decided I could not ask, because that would make it obvious I was looking at her boobies. Which according to the sticker, make her smile.

I’m sure there were sparks inside my brain as my synapses short-circuited.

Does.

Not. Compute.

I completed my transaction, and left in unadulterated confusion.

Anyway, as I later confirmed with some internet research (go ahead, check it yourself, but careful how you Google it, and I wouldn’t advise doing it at work unless you’re writing a column about it) Boobies Make Me Smile is a breast cancer awareness campaign, which is connected to an American mall retail lifestyle store that serves a young demographic, and selfidentifies as “irreverent.”

Yes, indeed. It got my attention.

Hardly anyone could be unaware of can-

cer these days. And maybe that’s why some people feel the topic needs a fresher, different dialogue, even one that may be a bit uncomfortable.

But the facts don’t change: According to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation website, breast cancer continues to be the most common cancer diagnosis in women in Canada over the age of 20 and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Canadian women, after lung cancer.

T In 2014, it was estimated that 24,400 women and 210 men in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and that 5,000 women and 60 men will die from the disease.

T 1 in 9 women in Canada is expected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime (by the age of 90) T 1 in 4 (26%) cancers diagnosed in women in Canada are breast cancer T 1 in 30 women in Canada will die from breast cancer T In Canada, the five-year survival rate

I’m sure there were sparks inside my brain as my synapses short-circuited.

for breast cancer is 88% T Breast cancer mortality rates have decreased by 43% since the peak in 1986 T Breast cancers in younger women who are pre-menopausal are often more aggressive, move quickly to advanced stages, and are less responsive to treatment than those that are found in older women.

T The most effective way to detect breast cancer earlier in average-risk women is regular mammography screening, and personal breast awareness. Women aged 40 to 79 are encouraged to have a routine screen every two years.

While breast cancer is more prevalent in older women, it doesn’t mean you’re safe if you’re under 40, or 30, or even 20.

For more information, visit bccancer. bc.ca, cbcf.org and bccancerfoundation. com. There’s also breast health clinic at the Abbotsford Hospital.

Of course, you can and should talk to your doc, as well.

To the young lady who had the courage to wear that sticker, especially where she did, thanks for making people more aware of breast health.

You made us look.

A blend of compassion, tough love, and law and order Recently, I again drove by “Tent City” on Gladys Avenue. What a sorry sight.

This camp, I suggest, consists of three categories of people.

Each category deserves more helpful treatment than presently offered.

As a prosperous city of almost 140,000, widely acclaimed as the most generous locality in Canada, a city boasting more than 115 places of worship including at least 108 churches, and a city whose council and mayor are determined to resolve the problem, we can and must do better.

Here are some suggestions: Q Any tent-dwellers with physical,

mental, or emotional disabilities need to be treated in supervised care facilities or, if seriously challenged, in an appropriate institution. That should be made a condition of continuing financial support.

Q Those with serious addiction problems should be placed in a detox and recovery centre. That becomes a condition of continuing financial support.

Q Those who are healthy must be given job options as these become available. If they refuse to work, they should lose their financial support.

Let me add here that various jobs do exist. For example, a friend of mine

who owns a nursery in Abbotsford and pays a decent wage, cannot find workers for his altogether pleasant nursery operation. He has already brought in 12 migrant workers from Mexico. He has to pay their airfare and provide housing.

He advertised in several local papers, including this one, but found no workers.

Any able-bodied men and women in Tent City should have to choose between accepting jobs or losing government income.

If needed, these new employees should be offered a first month’s free housing, appropriate clothing and, if needed,

Losing faith in health care system Our health care system is killing my sister.

My sister was hospitalized in the summer due to her failing heart. Abbotsford hospital kept her for 26 days in the cardiac department. She was being given many medications to keep her alive.

She had triple heart bypasss surgery 12 years ago, and now faces another surgery. Her heart surgeon called her in for an appointment this past December. The surgeon booked the surgery for this past January; however, as it got close to the date, she was called and told she had been bumped. She was rebooked for Feb. 18. Last week she had the pre-op appointment and it appeared that everything was on schedule.

Then my sister was called and again told she had been bumped until March 2.

Every day that passes, my sister gets sicker. She cannot breathe and has to use her inhaler many times a day, her body is swelling from her heart failing. She can’t do anything or go anywhere, except sit at home and wait to die.

My sister has been terrified ever since she left the hospital back in the summer.

I keep trying to give her hope and tell her to be strong, but the truth is, that I am losing hope in a system that just doesn’t care about sick people. I would like to know who is actually making these decisions, and making them so lightly, with no regard for all the very sick people who desperately need these life-saving surgeries. This is so not right.

Deborah Salter, Abbotsford

a bicycle. Perhaps the churches could cover these costs.

For all three categories, the option of remaining in a Tent City disappears, as do the tents.

Moving these people to a camp off the Mission highway does not deal with the problem; it only relocates it.

It’s time for an effective blend of compassion, tough love, and law and order.

The present unhealthy, disgraceful, and disgusting situation must end! We can and must do better!

The Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation (FVHCF) board and staff recently celebrated the achievements of the Crystal Gala Foundation at Tracycakes Bakery Cafe in downtown Abbotsford.

The Feb. 19 recognition event was to honour the fundraising success that has led to the establishment of the Crystal Gala Breast Health Unit in Abbotsford Regional Hospital, which sees

12,000 patients each year.

“It is astounding to me how much money has been raised, and it is not just a question of money but the hours of dedication and volunteer work that goes with that. I just want to say thank you, you have been a great partner to our foundation,” said Gerry Carron, chair of FVHCF. Funds raised at the Crystal Gala have been used to purchase two

state-of-the-art digital mammography machines – one in the Crystal Gala Breast Health Unit used for breast screening; the other in the medical imaging unit for in-depth diagnostic testing.

A diagnostic ultrasound machine was also funded in 2013.

The Crystal Gala Foundation is the FVHCF’s first $1 million donor.

Members of the Crystal Gala Foundation

and some of their donors were on hand to receive floral bouquets from long-time Gala supporter Simply Perfect Flowers.

A champagne toast was made, and guests were served charcuterie, eclairs and cupcakes.

Tracycakes Bakery Cafe was closed to the public during the event to honour the ladies of the Crystal Gala Foundation.

Rally against sex exploitation Public invited to event on March 10 The Fraser Valley Community Action Team (FVCAT) holds a public rally on Tuesday, March 10 against the sexual exploitation of children and youth.

Women’s exhibit explores ‘home’ HEADQUARTERS Opens March 8 at The Reach Gallery YOUR HEALTH

WE MATCH LOCAL ADVERTISED PRICES ON IN STOCK ITEMS!

A collaborative exhibit featuring artwork from women opens on International Women’s Day (Sunday, March 8) at The Reach Gallery Museum Abbotsford (32388 Veterans Way).

“Home” features the combined work of women who have incomes and live in comfortable, safe homes and those who access the Warm Zone – a service that supports street-entrenched women in Abbotsford.

The exhibit includes several pieces that connect to the theme of “home,” but the main focus is a large fabric weaving upon which the women collaborated.

Women brought in strips of fabric that represented home to them, including strips of flannel blankets, saris and tablecloths.

Some women cut pieces of fabric from sentimental items such as a favourite blanket or sweater.

Others created something unique for the weaving, such as a long knitted strip.

Because the women from the Warm Zone don’t have access to fabric in the same way, a variety of donated fabric pieces were made available from which to choose.

The weaving is bordered by woven cedar bark, donated by Donna Villeneuve who sits on the International Women’s Day planning committee.

Villeneuve is Salish and for the Salish people, the cedar is the “tree of life.”

by Abbotsford artist Linda Klippenstein, who also sits on the planning committee for International Women’s Day at University of the Fraser Valley (UFV).

“The idea of doing a truly collaborative piece has been percolating within me for some time.

I’ve done art projects with the women at the Warm Zone before but they’ve always been for the

community. I wanted to try to do something with the community,” she said.

Klippenstein said fabric was chosen to represent home in the weaving because “it’s something that’s common to all people regardless of social or economic standing.”

HOMESELLERS: 7 things you must know before putting your home up for sale this spring.

Abbotsford - A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money. This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s market.

As this report uncovers, most homesellers

make 7 deadly mistakes that cost them literally thousands of dollars. The good news is that each and every one of these mistakes is entirely preventable. In answer to this issue, industry insiders have prepared a free special report entitled “The 9 Step System to Get Your Home Sold Fast and For Top Dollar”.

4th annual abbotsford environmental leadership awards Each year the Abbotsford Environmental Leadership Awards, created by the Rotary Club of Abbotsford-Matsqui, recognizes environmentally conscious business leaders in the community who are making efforts to reduce their carbon footprint.

A banquet honouring the nominees and winners was held at the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre on Thursday, February 26.

It was the fourth annual event, which honours those who make an effort to preserve the environment, and acknowledge the initiative, dedication and hard work that individuals, businesses and organizations have put into caring for the environment and protecting natural heritage.

The awards focus on areas such as water conservation, local food, energy saving and the green leader of tomorrow. This year’s event recognized 37 individuals, businesses and organizations in the community.

The club hopes that by honouring the businesses, others will follow their practices.

This year’s keynote speaker was Councillor Patricia Ross, who is serving her eighth term on council. Ross is a Fellow of the Leadership for Environment and Development International program and has received many awards, including the green leader award from the AbbotsfordMatsqui Rotary Club.

AbbotsfordWORKS hosts disability hiring event Studies show hiring someone with a disability offers benefits to employers Karen MURPHY CORR

Hiring a person with a disability can make good business sense with the right fit, which is why AbbotsfordWORKS is holding a unique hiring event next Wednesday.

“I don’t want to put people in situations where they’re going

pate in the day-long A b b o t s f o rd WO R K S Hiring Event for the community, which will feature candidates with disabilities for the first two hours. There is no charge for businesses to register.

Studies show that hiring someone with a disability – which could be physical, intellectual

or mental health related – offers benefits to the employer. Disabled employees have lower rates of absenteeism and turnover while they demonstrate high productivity and a good attitude.

Of the 800,000 Canadians who report having a disability, says Wiebe, nearly half have

Despite all these advantages, recent statistics show that adults with disabilities are under-represented in Canadian workplaces.

Nationally only 56 per cent of disabled adults have jobs compared to 74 per cent of other Canadians, while in B.C.

only 2,675 of 18,890 disabled adults have work.

According to a recent study by Community Living B.C., most adults with intellectual disabilities work only parttime.

“Everyone has some sort of ability to offer an employer,” says Wiebe, who is determined to change these statistics in Abbotsford. He has successfully placed people with local employers including Tradex, Regional Recycling, Home Depot and WalMart.

“Marshalls at High Street hired a deaf woman to work as a cashier and they figured out a way to make it work. It’s been great and the concessions they made to help her work didn’t cost anything.”

Another successful employment relationship Wiebe helped to facilitate is with Peterbilt Pacific Inc. in Surrey.

“Over the last 10 years we have hired three employees who self-identified their disabilities.

These included moder-

ate learning disabilities and dyslexia, with our most recent employee having more acute disabilities,” explains Jessica Neufeld, human resource manager.

With the latest employee she says, “Our only adjustment was to provide the time necessary to give very detailed hands-on training. To do this we needed make sure that we understood his skills set and his ability to learn.”

Neufeld encourages other business owners and hiring managers to try hiring a disabled employee: “With the right fit and the right support internally and externally from organizations, it can be a success.”

The hiring event takes place March 11 at Apollo Multiplex Centre, at 3600 Townline Rd. It’s open for people with disabilities from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and for the general public from 11:30-3:30 p.m. Contact Rodney Wiebe at 604859-4500, ext. 306 to register.

The Abbotsford Arts Council hosts its first open exhibition for university students residing in the Fraser Valley starting Saturday, March 7.

The 12 artists whose work is featured in the exhibition are: Abigail Toftager, Brian Carlisle, Chantal New, Daniel Nakasone, Janelle Fitz, Jeff Rasmussen, Jesse Klassen, Kirsten Hatfield, Nichola Clark, Radiance Dream, Rosalie Luymes and Shannon Thiesen.

For more information, call the Abbotsford Submitted Arts Council by phone at 604-852-9358, This painting by Rosalie Luymes is among the pieces in a new email info@abbotsfordartscouncil.com or exhibit at Kariton Gallery. visit abbotsfordartscouncil.org.

Directing the play is TWU Theatre graduate Charlene Crawford, who last directed The Fantasticks for Gallery 7 Theatre.

“When approaching how to direct this play, I didn’t want to get lost in the tradition and lose sight of the relevance of the story,” she said.

“My hope is that as you lose yourself in the music, the story, your favourite moments, your new favourite moments, you

don’t get hung up on tradition. I hope that you experience this story like you’ve never heard it before, and that it reminds you of a story you know.”

Playing the role of Tevye is Arne Larsen, who will be remembered for his performance as El Gallo in The Fantasticks and many other productions throughout the Lower Mainland.

Tevye’s long-suffering wife, Golde, will be played by Ruth Kult, who last appeared as the Navy Officer in Lord of the Flies.

Tevye’s oldest daughters, Tzeitel, Hodal and Chava will be played by Bethany

Gallery 7 Theatre presents its production of the Tony Award-winning musical Fiddler on the Roof starting March 13 at the Abbotsford Arts Centre (2329 Crescent Way).

The play tells the story of Tevye, who lives in a tiny village in pre-revolutionary Russia where he etches out a meager life as a dairy farmer while raising his five daughters in the traditions and values of his Jewish faith.

Facing eviction by the anti-Semitic Czarist regime, Tevye’s world is further challenged when each of his three eldest daughters select husbands that could threaten the very fabric of his long-held, much-beloved customs.

“This is a huge production for us as a theatre,” said Ken Hildebrandt, Gallery 7’s artistic/executive director.

“We’ve assembled a very talented cast of 24 along with a live orchestra. Though it’s a big show, we’re very excited to be staging this special and

Matthew’s House volunteer has experienced need for respite care Dana Chandler is a unique volunteer at Matthew’s House. She volunteers for all the usual, good reasons: she knows she’s helping a good cause, she loves interacting with people and it gives her

a good feeling. But for Chandler, those are simply side benefits.

Her real reason for volunteering goes much deeper than this.

“I love volunteering at Matthew’s House. I know it sounds cliché,

but volunteering here really has filled a hole in my heart,” she says.

“Dana is so reliable and always willing to help us out at any of our Matthew’s House events,” said Laura Ullock of Matthew’s

House. “A volunteer like Dana really makes a difference to me because she does such a beautiful job in all of the activities she participates in, whether it’s serving hotdogs, starring in our promotional

health care needs are experiencing. Chandler had German measles when she was six weeks pregnant with her son, Evan. Because of this, Evan was born with congenital rubella syndrome, which left him completely dependent on others for his care.

His needs were so great that Chandler, a single mom, couldn’t care for him and her younger daughter, Angela, by herself. She relied heavily on outside help.

By the time Evan was 16, Chandler’s options were dwindling so rapidly that she chose to leave Abbotsford and move her family to Edmonton where she received daily in-home care. It began with six hours a day but his health deteriorated and his needs increased so dramatically that by the time her son passed away at the age of 23, Chandler was getting help in her home 12hours a day. She also

had a good friend who provided her with a place to share frustrations, fears and joys.

“If Matthew’s House had been available when Evan was a child, I would have been able to stay in Abbotsford, close to my extended family and get the break I needed,” she said.

Evan passed away in 2009 and the first few years after his death were difficult. While Chandler was relieved that Evan was no longer in pain, she missed him. She felt as though she’d lost a bit of herself. Moving back to Abbotsford was a good decision, bringing her back to the extended family that she needed. And one of the first things she heard about upon her return was that Matthew’s House was going to be built.

Located in Abbotsford, Matthew’s House is a ‘home away from home’ that provides respite care for children from across B.C. who live with complex health care issues.

Respite care gives parents a much needed break to rest and rejuvenate, strengthening the whole family.

Matthew’s House has been open for just over a year but Chandler first heard about it when it was being built. “I read about it in the paper,” she says. “I just knew that I wanted to be a part of it.”

Students plant native species in Willband Creek Park Part of revitalization efforts to curb invasive species

About 80 students from Abbotsford Christian School were out last Thursday planting native species in Willband Creek Park as part of revitalization efforts to curb invasive species and increase waterfowl habitat.

The park, located at 34900 Bateman Road off of Highway 11, is a popular recreation area in Abbotsford.

The Grade 8 students planted 580 native trees and shrubs as part of a program by the Fraser Valley Watersheds Coalition in partnership with the Fraser Valley Conservancy, Abbotsford Mission Nature Club and the City of Abbotsford.

Willband Creek Park has a system of trails built around storm water detention ponds. The area has a diverse waterfowl population, various species of migratory birds and other wildlife.

The project aims to cut back the canary grass and Himalayan blackberry Submitted that grow throughout the park, both of which are invasive plants that choke About 80 students from Abbotsford Christian School helped plant out native vegetation and decrease 580 native trees and shrubs at Willband Creek Park to enhance the biodiversity of the area. habitat for waterfowl.

The Yale Lions are roaring into the 4A BC Boys High School Basketball Championships next week as the No. 2 seed in the province.

Not bad for a team that was only ranked fifth heading into the Fraser Valley Championships.

Despite the disadvantage of playing on the road in the Fraser Valley playoffs, the Lions had an impressive run to the title match, where they defeated Surrey’s Lord Tweedsmuir 88-78 to take the Valley championship.

“Nobody expected it from us,” coach Euan Roberts said about winning the Fraser Valley tourney as the No. 5 seed.

To reach the final the Lions defeated Panorama Ridge 93-64, Heritage Woods 97-67 and Terry Fox 107-94. Yale was led by senior guard Jauquinn Bennett-Boire, who had a pair of 40-point performances and Grade 11 guard Riley Braich, who also racked up double-digit point performances along the way.

Forwards Tamikah Otanga and Mike VanderWerff provided solid rebounding.

And while Yale scored an impressive 385 points during their playoff run, coach Roberts was most excited about his team defense. “[They’re really playing] well together, supporting each other,” he said. “Our offense is clicking too.”

The Lions head into the provincials with one of the strongest backcourt duos in B.C.: BennettBoire, who was named Fraser Valley league MVP, and Braich, who was named first-team all-star.

Otanga, a forward, made the second all-star team.

Roberts is excited for the provincial tip-off next week, especially after the long road they took to get there. “It made it tougher but we like tough.”

And despite being No. 2 heading into the provincials, the coach knows it’s not going to get any easier. “It’s going to be tough,” he said, noting that his team is ready for the challenge. “So far we’ve done it.”

“To win provincials we have to hustle and rebound. We can’t allow good shooting teams second and third shots. We rely heavily on our defense to initiate offense.

The 4A boys’ provincial championships begin on March 11 at the Langley Events Centre. Yale takes on No. 15 Queen Charlotte, with tip-off at 10:15 a.m.

Aldergrove’s Cameron Davitt (left) battles Abbotsford Pilots’ Kellan Lavalee for the puck in Game 7.

Pilots eliminated from playoffs Abby falls 4-1 to Aldergrove Kodiaks in Game 7 Alex JOEHL Contributor

Without their offensive catalyst, the Abbotsford Pilots fell 4-1 to the Aldergrove Kodiaks in Game 7 and were eliminated from the Pacific Junior Hockey League playoffs.

Brady Lawlor, the team’s captain, and leading goal scorer in both the regular and post-season, was handed a two-game suspension after Game 6 of the best-of-seven series – won by Abbotsford.

Not only did Lawlor have two goals in that game, he also was whistled for a check-to-thehead minor penalty. Since it was his third headcontact infraction, it resulted in an automatic two-game ban, keeping the 20-year-old out of the Abbotsford lineup.

“It was a huge loss [to not have Lawlor],” said Pilots’ head coach Jim Cowden. “He was the best player in the series, on both sides. It was evident.

How do you make that up?”

The Pilots fell behind 4-0 before finally getting one past Kodiak goalie Ben Giesbrecht.

The Kodiaks scored twice with the man advantage and once just after one expired. It didn’t

help that Lawlor is a key member of the penalty kill and power play units.

“I don’t know if anything was really working well for them, if you look at their goals,” said Cowden. “There was that wraparound. Nothing was spectacular. It was just that we didn’t get it done, that’s all.”

Abbotsford finished 0-for-4 on the power play, while Aldergrove was officially 2-for-7.

The Pilots did see the return of Colton Cowden, who was serving a three-game suspension, though he and affiliate player Brett Clayton couldn’t replicate the threat of their absent captain.

“It’s pretty hard to fill the shoes,” said coach Cowden. “He makes our team tick. It would be like losing a Crosby for Pittsburgh type thing.

He’s a good all-around player that plays many minutes for us.”

Cameron Davitt opened the scoring midway through the first frame on either an unlucky break or a good heads-up play, depending on how you look at it. He chased his own rebound Continued on A32

The Pilots had some scoring chances later in the first. Cowden had a shot squeak through the pads of Giesbrecht, but the Kodiak defence cleared from danger. A minute later Cole Methorst was

robbed in front of the net by a slick glove hand.

Kolten Grieve, the Pilots’ regular season point-scoring leader, tried desperately to get the offence going. On one power play he knifed through three Aldergrove defenders but his nifty backhand attempt was stuffed by the right pad of Giesbrecht. Then later he set up Mitch Plevy in close on a three-on-two rush, but again couldn’t beat the keeper.

Spencer McHaffie scored what

would stand as the winner at 11:28 of the second frame. He cut across the crease and tucked it by Crawford’s pad.

The Pilots came on hard after that goal, with Grieve cutting to the net from behind the goal line, but was unable to get his wrist shot over the goalie’s shoulder.

Aldergrove’s affiliate player Davin Padgham made it 3-0 at 16:16, taking a pass from the top of the circle and wristing it far

side, just past the outstretched glove of Crawford.

The McHaffie twins hooked up to make it 4-0 in the final seconds of the middle frame when Spencer fed Scott McHaffie in the slot and he put it top corner.

At 5:10 of the third period, Grieve finally got the visitors on the board. Colton Cowden drew the lone assist, though three players got a crack at the net with the netminder sprawling before Grieve scored his third of the

postseason.

The Pilots had a three-on-one shorthanded rush with about 10 minutes to play, but they got in too close to get a good shot off.

They even drew a late power play but couldn’t muster any shots on goal.

“It’s too soon to look back on the whole season, but I can already say we were the best team in the whole series,” said Cowden.

March 29. Hundreds of new production cars will populate the all-new floor layout of exhibition space.

The show floor is growing 25 percent to almost 28,000 square metres by taking over the Ballrooms.

Presented by the New Car Dealers Association of BC, the 95th Vancouver International Auto Show is the premier showcase for car enthusiasts, providing the best opportunity of the year to see some of the world’s most popular brands alongside exciting new features and displays.

New features at this year’s event include the return of Exotic Manufacturers, Electric Avenue, and a showcase

of the newest and most innovative green vehicles and technologies. That area includes a 100 percent electric-powered Bigfoot monster truck.

The new and innovative Car Culture area will feature interactive vignettes, highlighting themed lifestyles and the vehicles that drive them. Custom built and modified hot rods, super cars and luxury vehicles will be showcased. And this year marks the return of commercial vendors selling vehicle parts and accessories.

Driveway will profile many of the vehicles from the show immediately before the show opening. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Just like the DeltaWing, the BladeGlider features a very different chassis layout – narrow at the front, wide at the rear. The design gives the vehicle a huge aerodynamic advantage of a traditional layout. The roadster has a centrally located driver seat upfront and two passenger seats behind.

Kia has only been in the Canadian marketplace for sixteen short years but in that time they have been able to utilize the resources of its parent company Hyundai to help carve out its own distinct brand. Design is a big part of the Kia’s success and this all-new third generation Kia Sorento is a perfect example of this approach.

With fifty design awards under its belt, thanks to the direction of chief designer Peter Schreyer, Kia has pushed hard on the accelerator to update designs

quickly, the last Sorento was introduced just two years ago. Not only has the design been evolving but Kia now has the same 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder available on five passenger versions of the Sorento, something Hyundai had exclusively in the Santa Fe until now.

Looks This Sorento is sold as a five passenger or seven passenger versions utilizing the same vehicle dimensions. Hyundai has a different approach; it uses two separate models to achieve the same result, a shorter Santa Fe

Since the seven-passenger model is available on all trim levels Kia believes that roughly thirty five percent of buyers will choose this model, up from the eleven percent that currently buy it now.

The constant pursuit of advanced design and creature comforts is welcome, I wish that the 8-inch screen was available on more than just the SX trim and some of the exterior updates were also shared with lower trim levels. If you are in the market for a smaller SUV, this bigger Sorento is now an option and mid-sized buyers can choose from a turbo or V6 and five or seven passengers – there is a lot of choice. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Mary passed away peacefully in The Residence of Mission (TRIM) at the age of 90. She leaves behind her loving daughter Fran (Mike) Harty; son George (Cheryl) Holland; grandchildren Michelle (Nolan) Riley; Athena (Ron) Paling; Matt (Diana) Harty; Rod (Erin) Aubichon; Sheri George; 11 great grandchildren; sister Ruth (Leonard) Holland; and many nieces, nephews and friends. Mary was born in Melaval, Saskatchewan and moved to the Loveridge dairy farm in Pitt Meadows, BC when she was eight years old.

She completed her senior matriculation in Maple Ridge and was a former employee/ resident at the Bank of Commerce on Washington St., Mission, BC (now known as the Mission Museum on First Avenue). After World War II, in 1946, she married her childhood sweetheart, veteran Lawrence Holland, and they settled in Pitt Meadows. The love of the north country drew them to a log cabin in Quesnel where they lived until 1953, and then to Maple Ridge for 47 years, retiring in Mission in 1991. She was renowned for her home baked pies at the Pana Bode diner in Maple Ridge. Her love of music was expressed in the many instruments she played. Mary’s enjoyment of family especially her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren leave a legacy of cherished memories. Mary was predeceased by her father Byron Loveridge; her mother Frances; her brothers Tom and George; and her sisters Lucy and Mabel. Mary was greatly loved and will be sorely missed. A Memorial Service will be held at Bakerview Community Crematorium and Celebration Centre, 34863 Cemetery Avenue, Mission, at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 21, 2015. Our special thanks to Dr. Peter Barnsdale, and especially to the staff and volunteers at TRIM. In lieu of flowers, the family would greatly appreciate donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

EMPLOYMENT/EDUCATION

René Forcier, late of Abbotsford, BC, passed away on March 3, 2015 at 1:00 am at the age of 92 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital.

He is survived by: his wife of 73 years, Mary, his family Lloyd (Monica), Gerry (Sandy), David (Pat), Mike (Jayne), Monica Dickson (Malcolm), Ken (Kelli), Rita Allen (Joel), 24 grandchildren, 34 great grandchildren, as well as extended family and friends.

René was predeceased by his granddaughter Kirsten Stazyk and 9 brothers and sisters.

René was the last surviving member of his family and his wife Mary, the last of her 10 member family.

Throughout his 93 years René loved life, telling stories and jokes and “chatting” with everyone! René had a wonderfully contagious sense of humour! And he cherished times with his large, and still growing, family. Family and friends remember RVing at numerous places in Canada and the US, camping and BBQing at Black Mountain Ranch, enjoying “pig

Almost 40 years ago, in 1977, René joined a small group of family members at the State Park in Oroville, Washington, for the May holiday weekend – the beginning of an annual “pilgrimage” with the entire family to this Okanogan hotspot. The whole family continues to enjoy this Forcier Family Reunion every May long weekend. What a legacy! But it will continue long after his passing!

Up until a few months ago René and Mary played “Bridge” at “Friendship House” in Abbotsford. This became a highlight of their week and they even tried to teach some family members the game.

René, with Mary, and their family, lived a long and happy life in Surrey and then in Abbotsford, until his passing last Tuesday morning.

Mass will be held on Monday, March 9 at 11:00 am at St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church, 33333 Mayfair Ave., Abbotsford, BC, with Father Hien Nguyen celebrant.
