Death not yet confirmed as murder From A1

All of Lonzo Road and a portion of Vedder Way were taped off for most of Monday as investigators remained on the scene, and a smaller portion was still cordoned off yesterday (Tuesday) while police were at a homeless camp – under the Highway 1 overpass – near where Zecca was found.

IHIT did not release any new details yesterday, including whether Zecca’s death had been confirmed as a murder.

Sources told The News that Zecca was homeless at the time of his passing, but he is not believed to have been living in the camp near the scene of his death.

Zecca’s Facebook page indicates he was living in Surrey at the time of his last post in October 2014, and it appears he only recently came to Abbotsford.

Anyone with information about Zecca’s death is asked to contact the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-4448 or Crime Stoppers at 1-880-222-8477.

In most parts of the rapidly growing Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley areas, the redrawn provincial ridings make sense.

That’s not the case here, as recently noted by the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Henry Braun, who sent letters of opposition to the commission.

From its current three, Abbotsford would see five MLAs, four of whom would also represent significant portions of Langley, Fort Langley, Mission or Chilliwack. One riding would be solely within Abbotsford.

Instead of moving the Fort LangleyAldergrove boundary to the west to take into account growth in Langley, the commissioners split Langley in half along Highway 1. But in order to find enough people to fill two of the three ridings, the commission reached deep into Abbotsford, including rural and urban areas west and

south of the Abbotsford-Clearbrook town centre area, and going as far east as the Huntingdon-Sumas border crossing. At the same time, the commission included a portion of Chilliwack into the most eastern Abbotsford riding.

These decisions serve none of the communities well.

There will be four MLAs juggling Abbotsford, Langley, Mission and Chilliwack issues. Langley and Abbotsford aren’t even in the same regional district, and Abbotsford isn’t in the Metro Vancouver area, so major transportation issues such as TransLink aren’t relevant here.

The commission is accepting comments until May 26. Community groups, business organizations, political watchers and others who have concerns about these proposed boundaries need to let the commission know that they are not acceptable.

Is the era of school buses nearing its end?

Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand It’s been 20 years since there’s been a school-aged kid around the house, so matters relating to education and its access have not been top of mind for quite some time.

A story in one of the dailies yesterday did, however, catch my attention since it hailed the demise of school bus service in Maple Ridge.

Axed as a cost-saving measure, the service to some 370 kids in that community ends in 2016.

What surprised me, other than the impending cancellation, is that fewer than 400 students in such a large district used that bus service.

What was even more eye-opening in the story was that Abbotsford and Chilliwack school districts charge kids

(parents, actually) to use their school buses.

As a parent with children riding the bus in this community, you are obviously aware of all this.

For those of you like me who weren’t, here’s what it costs to transport kids each morning on those ubiquitous yellow buses: $200 per child annually, rising to $400 for three or more riders in the family to get to their local school.

If the student(s) attends a “school of choice,” the annual fees rise to $350 per, $700 for the family rate of three or more kids.

To be clear, I’m not complaining about the cost. Any kid who rides public transit to and from school obviously pays, so why should the district (taxpayers) provide a free ride on a school bus?

I’m not sure what private schools charge, if anything, for their school transportation, though I remember not only paying a user fee but an additional amount monthly to purchase the school bus service when my eldest son briefly attended such a school.

It was fair then, and I assume parents think it fair if that’s occurring today.

For those who live in rural areas, having a school bus roll by the door each morning and afternoon is a convenience not to be taken lightly.

Had I children in school today, I might also be driving them if a bus was unavailable.

And it has to be far less expensive and time-consuming in the long run than personally driving your kids to and from class.

Far better, I’m convinced, than the massive traffic jams I see in front of many urban elementaries as parents, oblivious to the rest of the motoring public, crowd and cross streets when picking up their kids.

I’m never sure if it’s laziness or parental fear that their children will come

to harm if they walk or ride their bikes to and from classes instead of being driven, but I do know that cycling to school has virtually disappeared.

For the many years I’ve been driving past one elementary, the bike racks were usually empty. Now they no longer exist on that school’s yard.

I suppose, however, that had I children in school today, I might also be driving them if a bus was unavailable.

The weather, volume of traffic and the potential for some creep to pounce on them just makes it so.

On the other hand, seeing those big yellow buses cruising through our rural areas morning and afternoon always brings back fond memories of my childhood and frosty mornings waiting at the corner for a ride.

I also recall eagerly awaiting my 16th birthday so I could banish from my life the communal bus in favour of a beater car to get me back and forth, and to so many other more exciting places as well. markrushton@abbynews.com

letters Student improvement important measure The Fraser Institute (FI) has done a great service for education. Regardless of people’s opinions about methodology, their publication was the first attempt in Canada at providing the public with an objective indication regarding the quality of educational service in their community.

The FI model has improved over time because of criticisms following its earlier releases. Of course, certain voices around the province continue to criticize, because any focus on student achievement is threatening. However, their rating system remains flawed and needs revision.

Research demonstrates that student achievement is related to the quality of teaching and the students’ socio-economic status (SES.) No one should be defensive about this information. Students from poorer homes can learn just as well and, indeed do, during the school year. The lengthy summer vaca-

tion is the issue because of variances in students’ forgetting rates. Unfortunately, school systems disregard this research and continue to function as they did a century ago.

FI research actually demonstrates why its methodology is flawed. It ranks schools on the basis of raw scores, which are influenced by SES. For example, two large cities showed that students in homes making less than $60,000 averaged a rating of 4.1 and 4.3. Using a $110,000 threshold, the average in both cities was 8.0.

FI needs to modernize its methodology by rating gain scores, which is what really matters. Everyone would benefit more from knowing which schools are most successful in improving student achievement. The measure of good teaching is knowing how much students improve.

Court will hear appeal of securities decision McCabe fights ban from provincial capital markets

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford man previously found to have contravened the B.C. Securities Act has won the right to ap-

peal that decision.

Colin Robert Hugh McCabe will now go before a B.C. Court of Appeal panel to determine whether the decision should be overturned on the basis

that the B.C. Securities Commission (BCSC) did not have jurisdiction to sanction him for misconduct.

McCabe, 30, was permanently banned from B.C.’s capital

markets in January of this year for publishing false stock reports in the monthly Elite Stock Report.

BCSC records at the time indicated that McCabe researched stocks, using publicly available information such as websites and news releases, and, if he thought they had a shot at being profitable, he would write about them in his newsletter.

The Elite Stock Report was distributed only by direct unsolicited mail in the U.S. A BCSC panel found that between October 2009 and July 2010, McCabe published “greatly misleading reports” about three companies in order to inflate their stock price.

However, in his application to the court, McCabe said he

26th annual Walk for Life

A copy of the Elite Stock Report from March 2010 touts Guinness Exploration Inc. wished to appeal the decision because the BCSC did not have jurisdiction to sanction him for the conduct.

He said Elite Stock Report was published and mailed in the U.S., there was no trading or exchange of affected securities in B.C.,

and the report published information exclusively about stocks traded only in the U.S. The BCSC maintained that it had jurisdiction over McCabe because he is a B.C. resident and it was his “authorship of the misrepresentations”

On June 6, Advokate Life and Education Services will be hosting its 26th annual Walk for Life at Mill Lake Park. Participants will walk or run either 4k or 8k courses to help fund the initiatives of Advokate, including pregnancy support, community education, and advocacy for vulnerable people groups.

that contravened the B.C. Securities Act. The judge considering McCabe’s application agreed that this matter could form the basis for the appeal.

McCabe had also sought to have included in his appeal an order by the BCSC that he pay $4.3 million – almost $2.8 million he obtained as a result of his misconduct and an administrative penalty of $1.5 million.

He argued that the amount was too high, but the judge said the amount was appropriate and could not be included in the appeal.

This means that if the appeals panel upholds the decision that McCabe contravened the B.C. Securities Act, he will still have to pay the $4.3 million.

A date for the appeal has not yet been set.

This family-orientated community event will feature a barbecue, face-painting, balloons, bouncy castles, and prizes. All festivities will begin at 12 p.m., with the walk and run starting at 1:30pm.

Behind every work zone cone is a worker in a vulnerable position. Each cone stands for someone’s father, mother, son, or daughter. That’s why it’s important to know that thousands of people working by the roadside in B.C. are counting on you to slow down and drive with care when approaching a “Cone Zone.”

SALMON RELEASE Oliver Supeene, 4, gets help from Sile Gaughan, a volunteer with the Ravine Park Salmon Hatchery, during a Mother’s Day event on Sunday. The hatchery held its annual release of 10,000 coho salmon fry into Stoney Creek in the area where it crosses Old Clayburn Road close to McKee Street. The public was invited to attend, and children were given pails of fish to release into the creek.

Nursing care inspires new UFV scholarship Support for third-year students A local dentist will support a new local scholarship, inspired by the excellent nursing care his father received at Abbotsford Regional Hospital (ARH).

Dr. Malwinder Singh Dhami, a dentist with a long-established practice in Abbotsford, has been connected to the University of Fraser Valley (UFV) for many years.

He has been a member of the UFV Abbotsford Community Council and played a key role in fundraising for the establishment of a Centre for Indo-Canadian Studies and a regional innovation chair on Canada–India Economic Development at UFV in the mid-2000s. He was also one of the first donors to UFV’s Peace Studies initiative and established the Dhami Family Endowment Leadership award.

Last summer, events in Dhami’s family inspired him to create a new way of supporting his local university. His elderly father, Ram Singh Dhami, was admitted to ARH for treatment.

During his father’s stay, Dhami spent each day visiting at his bedside. He observed the excellent care his father received, and was impressed at the professional attention from each of the nursing staff — some of whom were graduates of the UFV bachelor of science in nursing program.

To show his gratitude, he established an endowed fund to provide an annual award to a third-year UFV nursing student known for his or her generosity or volunteer/community leadership. This $10,000 gift will support an annual award.

Another donor has also stepped forward to add a gift to the newly created nursing award.

The Starfish Pack program, a joint project between the Abbotsford Food Bank and the Abbotsford Rotary Club, received its second international recognition over the past weekend.

During an annual Rotary district conference, held in Tulalip, Wash., the program was given the McLean Community Service Award, recognizing it as the most outstanding community service project in the Rotary 5050 District, which covers clubs in B.C. and Washington.

Starfish Packs provides weekly backpacks containing six meals each weekend to over 260 elementary school students in 22 Abbotsford schools.

The program also recently launched its first Starfish Depot, which will provide food and other resources to school chil-

dren and their families year-round.

Although the program was created locally, it has attracted significant attention and interest from outside the community as well.

Last month, the Aldergrove Rotary club launched its own Starfish Pack program to serve students in that community.

Other communities are in discussion with the club, asking for help in bringing the program to their communities.

Abbotsford Rotary president Hugh Ellis wants to ensure Abbotsford doesn’t lose sight of the need.

“We’re feeding over 260 kids every weekend, which is amazing.

But there are still 150 additional kids going hungry every single weekend because we don’t have the dollars or volunteers to include them in the program yet. Being recognized with this recent award can’t cause us to stop and celebrate, we need to use it as motivation to move forward until every child in Abbotsford who needs this program can get it.”

For the record A May 8 News story did not list all eight Abbotsford elementary schools in the province’s top 100, according to the latest Fraser Institute report. They are: King Traditional (53), MEI (53), St. James (67), Matsqui (67), Auguston Traditional (73), Bradner (73), South Poplar (93), and Dasmesh Punjabi (99).

The rankings are based on Foundation Skills Assessments tests given to students in Grades 4 and 7 in 978 public and private schools.

The second annual Move Fashion Show will benefit the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley (WRSFV).

The event takes place May 29 at 35562 Mercer Ave. in the Matsqui flats.

Move is a fashion movement created to showcase what local businesses have to offer. Come find trendy wearable fashions and modern hair designs, or discover the hippest way to market your business.

More than 200 guests and 75 volunteers contributed to last year’s show, which raised over $4,000.

The WRSFV supports women, children, and youth who have experienced violence in their lives. The non-profit organization runs programs from 10 locations in Mission and Abbotsford.

Some programs include: victim services, outreach support services, multicultural outreach support services (Punjabi), stopping the violence counselling, children who witness abuse counselling, first and second stage housing projects, transition houses (shelters for battered women), a pregnancy outreach program, and a thrift boutique called Fronya.

UFV applauds basketball format change The University of the Fraser Valley is pleased with a change to the Canada West basketball format that will see the adoption of a single-conference.

The format change will affect both the men’s and women’s basketball teams.

Beginning with the 2016-17 season, the 17 Canada West basketball schools will abandon the current two-conference format for a single conference featuring a 20-game regular season schedule. Each team will play four geographical or historical opponents every year, with games against six of the remaining 12 opponents every other year. Over four years, each team will play every team in the conference at least twice, and will visit every gym in Canada West at least once.

“As a department, we think this is a much better basketball solution for our players and fans,” said Steve Tuckwood, UFV’s director of TUCKWOOD athletics and campus recreation.

“This will allow us to have a much better Canada West experience by playing against a broader crosssection of teams, making for a more competitive atmosphere in basketball.”

Under the current format, which took effect in the 2014-15 season, long-established Canada West members like the UBC Thunderbirds had played in one conference, while newer programs like the Cascades played in another. That was despite the strength of some of the newer programs, like UFV’s powerhouse women’s basketball team. The move led UFV president Mark Evered to pen an open letter in 2013 denouncing the alignment.

“This decision will impact . . . our ability to recruit and retain young athletes, our reputation, and our contributions to the athletic development of our region,” Evered wrote at the time.

The format overhaul should ease some of those concerns.

Beginning in 2015-16, the Cascades will play fellow B.C. teams Trinity Western, Thompson Rivers, UBC Okanagan and UNBC on an annual basis, while facing the rest of the Canada West squads in the regular season every second year.

Abby, Yale claim Valley rugby banners

RBC Dominion Securities Inc.

RBC Dominion Securities presents:

Local teams eye AA, AAA provincial championships

TASTE OF THE VALLEY

Two local girls rugby teams booked high seeds in the upcoming provincial championships with victories in the Fraser Valley championships on Thursday.

The Yale Lions claimed their second consecutive senior AAA valley crown with a 33-7 victory over White Rock’s Semiahmoo secondary school.

Captain Mackenzie Carson and the forward pack of Emily Pollastretti, Chrissa Perez and Sarah Klok led the Lions all season and were instrumental in the win, according to team manager and assistant coach Marisa Meola.

The Lions never trailed in the game, and have yet to lose a league match over the past two seasons.

Last season they made it to the provincial semifinal, and eventually finished third in the province.

On Thursday, fullback Chaylyn Rouche made four try-saving tackles to preserve the Lions’ advantage, while Sapna Deo contributed 11 points to the Yale total.

The Panthers will enter the provincial rugby championships as the second seed. Meola sees G.P. Vanier as the team to beat at the tournament.

Meanwhile on Thursday, the Abbotsford Senior Panthers retained their AA Fraser Valley Championship with a 55-10 win over the

Robert Bateman Timberwolves.

The game was a rematch of the 2014 valley and provincial finals, with Abbotsford – who have won the B.C. crown for three consecutive years – taking both of those matches as well.

Panthers co-coach Peter Cannon gave credit to Bateman, who had several players recently come back from a rugby trip to Japan just days before having to play the Panthers and Heritage Park.

“Even though the score was 55-10, they never gave up, and even though they were bruised and beat up, they kept going,” he said.

Cheyenne Sharrott, Beth Hand, Tausani Levale, Reena Grewal, Kashish Arya, Paige Pedersen scored tries for Abbotsford with Tausani and Nakisa Levale both scoring conversions.

Both squads will move on to play in the provincial championships which start May 21.

UUUUU Last week, the Yale Lions claimed both the Tier 1 and Tier 2 ju-

nior boys rugby Upper Fraser Valley championships.

Yale’s Tier 1 team beat Mouat 56-12, while the Tier 2 squad – which comprises mainly Grade 9 players – topped Mouat 60-5.

Back Logan Israelson and forward Deji Arojojoye had big games for the Tier 2 Lions.

“We had some real good efforts from the whole team,” coach Clayton Radons said. “It was probably the best game we played as a group.”

As for the Tier 1 squad, Zach Bain was instrumental in the Tier 1 victory, scoring a couple of tries.

The dual victories may be the first time teams from the same school have won both Upper Fraser Valley junior titles.

The Tier 1 junior Lions followed that up with a win against Abbotsford Monday afternoon to advance to the Fraser Valley semifinal.

UUUUU Yale’s AAA squad was in action Wednesday afternoon in the Fraser Valley Championship against Surrey’s Earl Marriott. Check Friday’s paper for a score.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan (PMP) No.: 794-003-15/20 The Fraser Timber Supply Area Cooperative Association (FTSACA) is developing a Pest Management Plan (PMP) under the Integrated Pest Management Act. This plan will describe a vegetation management program using Integrated Pest Management, including the use of herbicides.

SPLASH INTO SUMMER! Acres of Acres of

The purpose of the PMP is to describe the vegetation management program in the FTSACA chart area in the Fraser Timber Supply Area. Vegetation control methods in this plan include aerial foliar spray, ground foliar spray (including backpack and power nozzle), stem injection (hack and squirt), basal bark sprays, manual girdling, power saw, stem bending and pulling and mechanical site preparation. These treatments will take place within the Fraser Timber Supply Area that contains Crown land designated as forest land within the Chilliwack Forest District extending from the Nesakwatch River drainage on the Canada / US border in the south to the Nahatlatch River drainage in the north. It extends from the Pitt River in the west to the Skagit River in the east. Since the FTSACA chart areas are spread throughout the Chilliwack Forest District, nearby towns include Boston Bar and Hope and the communities of the Fraser Valley. There are numerous dwellings scattered throughout the plan area. Proposed herbicides to be used include Vision, VisionMax, Vantage, Weed-Master (glyphosate), Release MSO, Garlon RTU, Garlon XRT (triclopyr) and Sylgard 309 (siloxylated polyether). This Pest Management Plan will be in effect for a period of five years from the date of approval (approximately 2015 to 2020).

RALSTON Illa Dorothy (nee Case) Passed away peacefully at Abbotsford Regional Hospital on April 22, 2015 with her sons Bruce and Wayne Ralston by her side.

Illa Dorothy Case was born on December 31, 1916 in Clayburn, BC. Her parents were John and Mary Case of Clayburn. She and Howard moved with their 3 sons to Penticton in 1957 when Howard was transferred to the Elmer Cannery in Penticton, BC. They returned to live their retirement years in Abbotsford in 1981 to be near family and friends.

Dorothy had many hobbies, she was an avid gardener and accomplished card player. She had a very adventurous spirit and loved to travel to see her sons in Edmonton, AB and Golden, BC. In 2014 she was awarded with an Abbotsford Pioneer Award.

She is survived by her sons, Lee Ralston, St. Albert, SK, Wayne Ralston, Edmonton, AB, and Bruce Ralston, Keremeos, BC. She leaves behind two grandchildren, Matthew Ralston, Toronto, ON, Roxanne Ralston, Port Alberni, BC and a great granddaughter Jamie Lucus. She is pre-deceased by her husband Robert Howard Ralston and son Michael Ralston.

A small Celebration of Life was held in the hall of Almanda Court in Abbotsford, BC on April 26, 2015 and was attended by about 70 family and friends.

The family would like to thank the staff of nurses at Abbotsford Regional Hospital for their kindness and compassion. A very heartfelt special thanks and gratitude to her friends Jean, Vera, Coral and Tilda for all their assistance and guidance during this difficult time.

On April 28th 2015, surrounded by family and friends, Rhonda Graw lost her battle with ALS. Born to the late Cyril and Irene Warren on January 2, 1964, Rhonda grew up in Surrey and graduated from Queen Elizabeth Senior Secondary in June 1982. She married the love of her life, Jeff Graw on August 15, 1987 and they relocated to Abbotsford.

Rhonda worked for Lilydale and Black Press. She was an avid lover of animals, books, desserts and good glass of wine. Rhonda was so loved by all who knew her. Always smiling, she had a continual positive attitude and even the diagnosis of ALS in 2012 could not dampen her spirit. Continually classy, undeniably brave and a fighter until the end, Rhonda is survived by her husband Jeff, her son Eric, her sister Sherry, her brother Dale (Donna) and an abundance of family and friends.

Services to honour her life will be held on May 29, 2015 at 1:30 pm at Abbotsford Evangelical Free Church 33218 Marshall Road, Abbotsford, BC. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the ALS society of BC at www.alsbc.ca or to cruisincanadaforals at http://www.alsbc.ca/events/ third-party-events/373-cruisincanadaforals “When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.”

Support and Care for Tomorrow

GETTY Racile Norma Racile passed away into the presence of her Lord on April 21, 2015.

Very recently she was privileged to celebrate with family and friends the milestone of 90 years - a life filled with the blessings of God and shared with others.

Racile was born February 26, 1925 in Portland, Oregon but grew up in Alhambra, CA. She was predeceased by her mother and father, Orval and Edythe nee Mings and her older brother Rowland. She is survived by her loving husband Ken, sister-in-law Betty Jo Mings, four siblings and their spouses: Mary (Ken), Marvin (Rae Ann), David (Gail), Gail (Jim) - all living on the west coast USA. Racile and her husband Ken have been career missionaries for 66 years serving with WEC International - 25 years in North India in student ministry and then as Canadian directors of the mission. In 1993 they made Abbotsford their semi-retirement home and have a continuing ministry at GATEWAY Training for CrossCultural Service.

As news of Racile’s homegoing has spread around the world tributes have come from everywhere. Again and again, those with whom she worked made mention of Racile’s quiet and gentle spirit coupled with gracious serving of others, as what they will always remember.

More important than this is the commendation she has received from her Lord and Saviour, “Well done thou good and faithful servant: Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”

A Celebration of Racile’s Life will be held on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 at 2:00 pm at Immanuel Fellowship Baptist Church, 2950 Blue Jay Street, Abbotsford, BC (Corner of Bluejay and Maclure).

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to WEC International for Gateway training.

Gateway is a ministry of WEC International Canada, a registered Canadian charity. It is the North American missionary training centre (MTC) for WEC International (Worldwide Evangelization for Christ).

Tributes and condolences may be left at www.hendersonsabbotsfordfunerals.com

OBITUARIES

DIXON, William (Bill) It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of William Peter Edward (Bill) Dixon on Friday, May 1, 2015 at the age of 33.

Left behind to cherish his memory is his wife Tami (nee Kendall) and their two-year-old son Frazier. Bill is survived by his mother Edith Gazzola, stepfather Clark Carter, brother Jeremy Dixon (Raquel), step brother Timothy Carter, father-in-law Alan Kendall (Cathy), brotherin-law Sid Kendall (Jodi), aunt Judy MacNeill (Rodger), uncle Michael Gazzola (Pam), aunt Patricia Zimmer (Robert), aunt Mary Ellen Beamin (Charlie), aunt LeaAnn Russell, aunt Debra Dunsmore (Mic). He will also be missed by nieces, nephews, cousins and numerous lifelong friends.

Bill was predeceased by his father Michael Dixon, grandparents Edward Dixon (Dorothy), Ruth Dixon, Peter and Mary Gazzola, uncle Peter Gazzola and mother-in-law Noreen Kendall.

Bill was born in Hope, BC on May 18, 1981, and growing up he spent time in Hope, Vancouver and Yale. He graduated from Hope Senior Secondary in 2000, and lived in Lone Butte before moving to Kamloops, where he enrolled in welding at Thompson Rivers University. While in Kamloops, Bill met his wife Tami and they began their life together; they married on a sun swept Mexican beach in January 2012, surrounded by their closest friends and family members.

Bill took great pride in his family. Though he spent years working in camps in Alberta, he was hired by Highland Valley Copper in February and was so excited to finally be back home full-time.

His passing was shocking and terribly unfair, we take solace in knowing he was with friends and doing something he loved. Bill is loved so deeply by everyone he knew, he will be greatly missed.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday May 16th at 2pm at the Schoening Funeral Chapel with Pastor Don Maione officiating.

In lieu of flowers, a family trust account has been set up at TD Canada Trust in support of Tami and Frazier. Donations can be made at any branch quoting Transit #91460 and Account #6316630. On line condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
