40-bed winter shelter for homeless by mid-December Low-barrier facility to open on Riverside Road Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News

Homeless people in Abbotsford will get a 40bed, low-barrier, winter shelter within the next several weeks on Riverside Road, just south of the Highway 1 overpass.

Once the temporary construction-trailer fa-

cility is up and running, the city plans to take down the Gladys Avenue homeless protest camp in mid-January.

The portable shelter will operate from mid-December to the end of April, and may reopen again in the cold season next year.

The city is providing land for the project and $750,000 for the trailers. Lookout Emergency

Aid Society will run it, using $450,000 in operations fundings from the provincial government.

As a “minimal-barrier” shelter, clients are not required to be clean and sober to enter, but drug and alcohol use will not be allowed on the premises. Outreach workers will also connect Continued on A4

clients with rental assistance so they can access more stable, longterm housing. It will be a 24/7 space, with a social area for day use, and three meals daily will be provided.

The shelter will be built using construction bunk trailers, combined and renovated to form one large building with a kitchen, social space and office as well as sleeping quarters.

Privacy barriers will be placed between 32 beds intended for men and eight for women, although they can be rearranged if necessary.

The project was announced on Thursday at the site by Mayor Henry Braun, MLAs Darryl Plecas and Simon Gibson, and Shayne Williams, the executive director of Lookout.

Braun said the shelter has been in the works for years, with the current plan starting to coalesce about four months ago. He said he would have liked to get things off the ground sooner, but was worried the act would seem insincere if it was announced while the B.C. Supreme Court was still deciding the case of homeless activists challenging Abbotsford’s bylaws banning camping in

public parks.

When the ruling on that case was issued in October, striking down the anti-camping provision but allowing the city to ban permanent tent cities, many citizens wondered about the fate of the homeless protest camp on Gladys Avenue. The city opted not to remove the camp, which has been in place since 2013, while the case was still before the courts. But once the winter shelter is built, and the city rewrites its bylaw, Braun expects removal of the Gladys camp will start partway through January.

“Gladys will have to come down,” he said.

The shelter’s site is near the tracks for

Abbotsford’s two railways and across the street from one residential property. Braun said the railways and property owner were notified by a letter on Tuesday.

Williams said Lookout’s nine Lower Mainland shelters have a strong track record for connecting their clients with permanent housing – and he expects a good half of those coming to the Abbotsford facility will be placed in a more stable living arrangement before shutdown in the spring. There will be no maximum stay length at the new shelter, and staff will “triage” clients looking for a bed, sending those who qualify to the community’s other

shelter at the Salvation Army. If they find a client in Abbotsford with roots in another area, staff may even seek out shelter space in that person’s home community and help them return.

Braun said it’s unclear where clients will go when the shelter shuts down in April, but given Lookout’s record in finding its clients housing, he hopes many of them won’t need to return to a shelter at all. A permanent supportive housing facility for 20 men who are homeless or at risk of homeless is being built on Gladys Avenue, but its opening has been pushed back to the spring of 2017.

Braun says the tempo-

The homeless camp on Gladys Avenue will be coming down after a new winter shelFile photo ter is up and running, Abbotsford’s mayor says.

rary shelter will likely reopen for the 20162017 winter, and after that the city can reassess and either continue to operate the facility or repurpose the trailers for other uses.

Currently, Abbotsford has 25 shelter beds at the Salvation Army year-round, plus up to 40 one-night emergency-weather beds that open on nights when the cold endangers outdoor sleepers’ health. In 2014, a volunteer count reported 117 homeless people in Abbotsford.

The legal case about camping in public parks, in which homeless activists were represented by Pivot Legal Society, came after an escalating series of incidents between the city and an increasingly politicized group of tent city campers.

After the relationship between the city and the homeless was strained to the breaking point in recent years, the mayor hopes the winter shelter project will be the start of a new era.

“It’s a step in the right direction,” said Williams.

“It signals to the most vulnerable people that this commnity cares, and they want to make changes...I think there’s a real opportunity here to start on the right foot.”

7 things you need to know before putting your home up for sale this fall.

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 increas-

ingly less and less effective in today’s market. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of homesellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and - worse - financially disadvantaged when they put their homes on the 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”.

A beloved nativity scene that was once an annual sight at the corner of South Fraser Way and Clearbrook Road has found a new home at an Abbotsford church.

The feature will now be displayed at St. James Catholic Church at 2767 Townline Rd. An official unveiling takes place Tuesday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m.

The display had previously been erected for many years at Clearbrook Plaza, but was not put up in 2013 or last year.

It had been purchased several years ago by the Braun family, including Mayor Henry Braun, who are the former owners of the plaza.

The scene featured three-quarter-sized statues, which were designed by a company involved in movie productions.

The family first erected the display in 2001, but when the property was sold, they gave the nativity scene to the

new owners.

They put up the display for two years, but stopped doing so two years ago due to the expense, estimated to be about $20,000 each year for maintenance, set-up and take-down.

The absence of the nativity scene prompted numerous inquiries and concerns from the public, many of whom assumed that the city

was responsible.

Two local churches – St. Ann’s and St. James – have since became involved. Both have councils of the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal service organization.

Rudy Van Berkel, who is the “grand knight” of the St. James council, said a member approached the new owners of Clearbrook Plaza, and they agreed to donate the nativity display to the churches.

Berkel said the organizations wanted “to give something back to the community.”

But the display required some work, including rebuilding of the barn structure and some touch-ups to the figures due to mold on their clothing.

Van Berkel said the repairs have cost about $3,500 – money raised by parishioners and by the Knights of Columbus.

The scene was planned to go up at St. Ann’s Church on Mayfair Avenue, but complications with the property resulted in St. James becoming the designated location.

Van Berkel said the church plans to make the display an annual holiday tradition, and funds will continue to be raised for its maintenance.

The official unveiling on Tuesday is open to the public and includes blessings, readings, and refreshments. Mayor Braun and his wife Velma will also be in attendance.

The nativity scene will remain on display until Jan. 6.

Reconfiguration proposed for six schools Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford school district is considering whether to remove Grade 6 and 7 students at the six local elementary schools which currently run from kindergarten to Grade 7.

The proposed move would bring the schools into accordance with the rest of the district’s elementary schools, which run from kindergarten to Grade 5. In his report to the school board at this week’s meeting, secretary-treasurer Ray Velestuk wrote that the move would also benefit students.

Currently, students who would be af-

fected attend three different schools in a three-year period, as they move from their elementary school, spend one year in a middle school, then transition to a secondary school.

“These transitions can be difficult both academically and socially,” Velestuk wrote.

The schools that would lose Grade 6 and 7 students are: Aberdeen, Ross, Bradner, Mt. Lehman, Barrowtown and Upper Sumas elementary schools.

Barrowtown and Upper Sumas would also see their catchment area realigned to be part of the Abbotsford middle and secondary areas. Aberdeen, Ross, Bradner and Mt. Lehman students would continue

to attend Eugene Reimer middle school after elementary school.

The mostly rural schools have a combined annual Grade 6 and 7 enrolment of around 180 students.

The district is revising its long-term facility plan, and Velestuk said the review has identified “the inconsistency of elementary school grade configurations … as contributing to ongoing capacity/ utilization issues at some elementary and middle schools.”

The district said it would begin a consultation process, with board of education trustees slated to make a decision on the matter at its Feb. 23 board meeting.

Our iconic nation-builder may be leaving us Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand The great and glorious CPR, the railway that united a nation, brought us our national parks system and stimulated the economy that made Canada what is today may soon be leaving us … at least its corporate headquarters … for the United States.

This iconic company, like no other perhaps except for the Hudson’s Bay Company which is now also ‘resident’ in the U.S., typified the pioneering spirit that linked our nation from sea to shining sea.

Founded in 1881, the CPR was completed exactly 130 years ago, when on November 7, 1885 the historic last spike was driven at Craigellachie, now little more than a pullout on the TransCanada Highway between Sicamous and Revelstoke.

Like today, the man behind the success of CP Rail and its initial construction was an American – William Cornelius Van

Horne. Not only did he oversee its building, awestruck by the scenery when in the Rocky Mountains, Van Horne realized the tourism potential, urged the company to build hotels and suggested setting up a national park system to preserve the area’s beauty in perpetuity.

As anyone who has travelled the Rockies from Banff to Jasper can attest, his foresight resulted in the preservation of a spectacular scenic corridor that ranks as one of the world’s greatest natural wonders.

Although Van Horne’s work was essentially completed with the first transcontinental train arriving in Port Moody in 1886, the CPR was just beginning.

My one and only trip on the route was as a three-year-old, along with family, from Halifax to Vancouver, and then aboard one of the CPR’s fleet of ships to Vancouver Island. I recall in later years, before WAC Bennett created the B.C. government-owned ferry fleet, often travel-

ling between downtown Nanaimo and Vancouver aboard the “Princess” vessels Patricia, Marguerite, Elaine and other likenamed vessels. These were ‘ships’ as opposed to ferries. However, Bennett’s takeover of the old Blackball Ferry line spelled the demise of CPR’s passenger service between the Island and Lower Mainland.

The railway and its many branches, on the other hand, was wildly prosperous. Its real estate holdings vast and its ability to carry Canadian resources to ports on both coasts for export, as well into the United States, made it a transportation behemoth.

And thus we come to today where CP Rail is courting, rather coolly it appears, the very large U.S. railway Norfolk Southern Corporation. Despite a $28-billion offer, NSC is a reluctant bride but the courtship has begun.

CP believes the merger would create possibly the strongest rail-shipping network on the continent, linking ports and

There is the strong likelihood that the CPR’s headquarters will move from Calgary to a U.S. location.

intermodals location throughout North America. Additionally, CP is eyeing NSC’s very large real estate holdings with an eye to generating billions of dollars in revenue through their sale. CP is not unaware of the value of land, having been given 25 million acres by the Canadian government in exchange for building the railway.

That acreage became, under CP’s Marathon Realty, an enormous cash-cow, and led to hotel chains, development of much of Vancouver’s waterfront area, and projects across the country.

However, with the railway’s proposed continued expansion into the U.S. through acquisition of Norfolk Southern, there is the strong likelihood that the CPR’s headquarters will move from Calgary to a U.S. location.

For something that is so tied to the fabric of our nation, losing such an iconic entity that speaks to the world as Canada would be a shame. But, in the corporate world where shareholders make the decisions and national identity ranks well below profit-taking, that’s the price we might have to pay. That the name Canadian Pacific remains may be our bonus. markrushton@abbynews.com

Court decisions may be contributing to crime problem At 12:30 a.m. (in 2014), a female police officer, on patrol and driving alone, spots a truck carrying a motorcycle. Aware of the number of recent motorcycle thefts in this area, she stops the vehicle to determine whether this motorcycle is stolen. Upon checking with her office, she was advised that the driver had been recently convicted and was serving a “non-custodial conditional sentence� and was required to carry with him a copy of the court order concurring that conviction. He did not have it.

The officer was also told that the court order prohibited him from possessing a firearm. A second officer attended to back

up the first. The two then determined that the motorcycle was not stolen. The second officer looked into the truck cab and saw part of a gun. They found it to be a 12-gauge shotgun. They also found ammunition and a folding knife. The driver was arrested and charged accordingly.

At his recent trial in Chilliwack, a Supreme Court judge dismissed these charges, saying the actions of the police officers were “a serious violation� of this man’s rights, and chastised them for not providing him with a charter of rights warning before searching his truck.

Come on, judge!

A couple of weeks ago, the

Abbotsford News quoted Abbotsford Police Chief Bob Rich, saying that property crime this year was going up at an “alarming rate.�

We may wonder why the number of drug addicts in our city is increasing; why the crime rate is increasing; why so much police attention is required regarding the gang problems; and why we are now being told that our taxes will be increasing to cover policing.

Maybe it’s decisions like this that contribute to our problem.

These two officers deserve to be commended, in my opinion, not chastised.

Leon Bourque

Fear individual fears first As the daughter of a refugee – one newborn among 1,000 “undesirable aliens� fleeing Stalin’s terror to whom Canada allowed entry in 1930 – I thank you for your rational and insightful column (editor Andrew Holota, Nov. 18).

In “Fear ourselves more than terrorism� you urge readers to fear the paranoia spawned by social media platforms. Indeed. What we all must fear first is our individual fears. We must always examine and control irrational thoughts by holding them up to the facts.

Without taking away the horror of attacks throughout the world, we would do well to remember that, statistically, threats to our lives from many things which we live with quite comfortably on a daily basis are more likely to do us in than any act of terror.

While we must exercise our due diligence and all caution during the vetting process, we shouldn’t slam the doors, because of any groundless fears, on those who need our help most.

Punjabi prayer was about peace This is in response to the letter in the Abbotsford News on Nov. 13.

The temple was given one minute by the Remembrance Day committee to do the

prayer in Punjabi.

If there was to be translation of the prayer more time would have had to be provided, which could not be fit into the day’s schedule.

but also of Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley as a region.

Back in 1929, the feed company opened a new plant in Abbotsford, and by the 1940s the company had a farm and three dehydrating plants for spring grass on the Sumas Prairie.

By 1947, Buckerfield’s was the largest producer of dehydrated grass in the British Empire, but then a horde of grasshoppers and a fire in the Sumas Prairie plant set the company back.

The plant was rebuilt and Buckerfield’s opened a new store in 1966.

Buckerfield’s head office moved to Abbotsford in 1986, and the business was renamed Buckerfield’s Country Stores to focus more on the growing residential population in Abbotsford. That store was closed in 2001, but new investors re-established the brand in Abbotsford by 2005.

That store has moved to Marshall Road, and is officially being opened tomorrow.

Buckerfield’s marketing director Rob Andersen, who has worked for the company for 28 years, said, “We are enormously proud of the role that Buckerfield’s has played in the history of the Fraser Valley and British Columbia,” he said.

“Our goal is to build on this heritage by making Buckerfield’s into a destination for anyone who wants to enhance their modern lifestyle with a well-nourished pet, a green landscape, returning wild birds, a safe personal vegetable garden, and backyard chickens, horses, and honey bees.”

The opening takes place at 31852 Marshall Place on Saturday starting at 10 a.m. A ribbon-cutting, food, prizes and entertainment are planned.

She was carrying a can of bear spray, which she then released on him. MacDonald was treated by paramedics on the scene, but suffered the effects of the bear spray for several days.

A few minutes before MacDonald was attacked, Abbotsford News reporter Laura Rodgers had also been at the scene. The same woman threatened to break Rodgers’ camera and to bear-spray her, but Rodgers quickly departed before any assault occurred.

Mountie fined for lying about crash An Abbotsford man who is an RCMP officer in Surrey has been fined $2,500 for lying to ICBC about how he crashed his pickup truck in Cloverdale two years ago.

James Steven Baker was convicted last month of providing false or misleading information related to the crash that took place Dec. 10, 2013. His sentencing was last Friday (Nov. 20) in Abbotsford provincial court.

According to the written

O D LU M B R OW N .CO M

vehicle was involved. The driver stated that Baker’s truck had passed him on a median on the left and lost control when he tried to merge back into the right lane.

Further evidence showed that there was no damage to the left side of Baker’s vehicle and the damage that did exist wasn’t consistent with being struck by a car cutting across its path from the left side, as the accused had suggested.

judgment when he was convicted, Baker was driving his black Dodge Ram pickup on 64 Avenue at about 5:35 a.m. when the incident occurred.

Baker claimed he was struck by another vehicle before he fishtailed into a ditch, but the Crown argued that the crash involved only Baker’s truck and resulted from him driving too fast for the winter road conditions.

Landowners still seeking deal with pipeline company Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

The delayed review of the twinning of the Trans Mountain Pipeline has also snarled negotiations between Kinder Morgan Canada and a group of Fraser Valley landowners, according to the group’s president.

Peter Reus, a Sumas Prairie grower who heads the Collaborative

Group of Landowners Affected by Pipelines (CGLAP), said talks between the two parties continue to be stuck on his group’s insistence on ongoing annual payments.

Construction on the proposed pipeline had initially been pegged to begin in 2016, which had Reus confident an agreement could

be reached soon. He says more than 60 kilometres of the Trans Mountain pipeline cross 79 different properties owned by CGLAP members around the valley. But the National Energy Board’s (NEB) review of the pipeline was delayed in September after a consultant for Kinder Morgan Canada was hired by the NEB. The newly elected Liberal government has also promised to strengthen the review process, and, even pending NEB approval, construction on the pipeline is unlikely to begin until 2017.

That, Reus said, has lessened the momentum towards a deal.

INTRODUCING Paul Tang, Master Goldsmith

For the last 18 years, Janusz and Margaret Dobosz of TimeMaster Jewellers have made a name for themselves as the Fraser Valley's exclusive retailer of fine timepieces and unique, custom-designed jewellery.

SCHOOL DISTRICT

NEWS Taking Our Kids to Work Over 1,300 grade 9 students from our schools participated in National Take Our Kids to Work Day in which students are hosted by parents, friends, relatives and volunteers at workplaces across the country every November. The program supports career development by helping students connect school, the world of work, and their own futures. As an assignment, Abbotsford students had to provide a photo and/or video account of their day at work. Pictured here are Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service member Wade Wood, Yale Secondary students Parker Wood and Owen Dececco, and Yale Career Facilitator Clayton Radons.

Industry Training Authority acknowledges employers At a recent Industry Training Authority (ITA) Employer Recognition Event in the Fraser Valley, Les Coughlan and Kathryn Triggs of Glenco Electric in Abbotsford were recognized for their outstanding contribution as an employer/sponsor of Abbotsford School District's youth apprentices. (They are pictured above receiving their award from Gary Herman, CEO of the ITA.) The district's Career Programs were also recognized for outstanding leadership by a school district in youth apprenticeship program.

First Youth Philanthropy Award Yale Secondary student Kourtnie Sohl has been named the inaugural recipient of the Alan and Vivian Trethewey Youth Philanthropy Award. Kourtnie (shown receiving her award from family representatives Marlene and J.O. Trethewey) was recognized for many community involvements including: organizing fundraising for Matthew’s House, serving as copresident of the Yale KEY Youth Service Club, supporting the Abbotsford FoodBank, and peer tutoring for Big Bothers/Big Sisters of Abbotsford. Kourtnie received $500, to be donated to the charity of her choice – Mathew’s House. Also acknowledged were award runners-up Samyta Rai and Diana Hiebert.

Administered by the Abbotsford Community Foundation, the new award is open to youth in Abbotsford aged 12 to 23.

Parents and Principals in conversation Earlier this month over 100 PAC Chairs, Principals, district administrators and Trustees gathered for the first annual Joint Partners meeting in the district, with an aim of sharing district directions and gathering feedback about ways we can improve our schools.

Participants engaged in table conversations about BC’s redesigned curriculum, the school planning process, and other key topics related to parent engagement and student success.

Joining their team in the last few months is Master Goldsmith Paul Tang, formerly of Lee's Jewellers.

Paul learned his trade in Canada and he is now considered to be one of the finest Master Goldsmiths in the business.

Paul has an artistic eye and his handcrafted, one-of-akind pieces are truly exquisite. His expertise also includes setting stones, on-site jewellery repairs and free jewellery cleaning for all customers.

Janusz and Margaret invite you to stop by and experience a higher level of service and friendly, knowledgeable staff. We have the perfect Christmas gift for that special someone.

by the end of the year.”

The current pipeline sits on a right-of-way owned by the company, although Reus says that right-ofway was agreed to in 1952 regarding the present pipeline, not a future one.

“This is a completely new thing,” he said.

Earlier this year, Reus told The News the existing pipeline, which dates back 62 years, has long been a “hassle” for property owners. Reus said farmers have to call the pipeline company and wait for their assistance with any plowing below 30 centimetres.

That can take time, he said, and can be problematic when a farmer hopes to take advantage of a small window of good weather to get a crop in.

Kinder Morgan has been receptive to the owners’ issues, and has promised to bury the new expanded pipeline – which will be constructed 20 feet away from the existing pipe – significantly deeper.

Carey Johannesson, Kinder Morgan Canada’s project lead for land and right-of-way, said they’ve also

agreed to hire an “agriculture monitor” to ensure construction doesn’t harm the ability to grow on the land.

Johannesson said the company has had a fruitful relationship with CGLAP, but that the sticking point remains a financial agreement.

He said the company’s previous right-of-way agreement gives it the legal ability to expand its pipeline through most of its route, but that Kinder Morgan has agreed to “essentially repurchase” the land.

“To maintain good relations with the landowners in the long term, we think, is the best thing we can do,” he said. Johannesson said he expected discussions to continue.

Despite the differences over payments, Reus said the two sides remain talking and hope to resolve the issues soon.

“From the onset we have said we are not against it, but it still our land and they want something from us.”

Government unions to get ‘modest’ raises Tom FLETCHER Black Press

Most unionized provincial employees in health, education and other jobs will get an extra raise of just under one half of one per cent in February.

About 80 per cent of B.C. public sector unions have signed employment contracts under the province’s “economic stability mandate.” That gives them raises of 5.5 per cent over five years, plus a share of economic growth in each year it exceeds the independent forecast used in the provincial budget.

Statistics Canada has finalized the growth of the B.C. economy at 3.2 per

cent for 2014, substantially more than the finance ministry’s independent forecast council estimate of 2.3 per cent. That triggers the contract provision to increase pay for provincial employees by 0.45 per cent starting in February.

In dollar terms, the finance ministry calculates that a grade one medical technologist will see an increase of $300 a year, or $970 over the rest of the contract term.

A teacher will get $346 a year, and an education assistant gets $109 a year.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the growth of gross domestic product reflects a strong year

for exports and some employment growth in 2014. Business investment was also up 5.4 per cent last year, and there was a 3.5 per cent increase in household consumption spending province-wide.

The outlook for the current year does not look as good for additional increases, he said, but the agreements are “one way” and there are no reductions for employees if the economy under-performs.

Over the past 14 years, the B.C. economy has outperformed forecasts about half

the time.

The province and its agencies such as universities and Crown corporations employ 387,000 people, of which about 313,000 are unionized. About 20 per cent of those employees have not yet settled agreements under the economic stability mandate, with the largest group being the 42,000-member B.C. Nurses’ Union.

About 10,000 staff at University of B.C., Simon Fraser and University of Victoria have also not signed new agreements.

Gang violence on upswing Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Gang violence has shot up this year in B.C. after a two-year lull.

There had been 30 gang-linked murders and attempted murders as of June 30, nearly twice as many as the 18 in all of 2014 and up from 24 in 2013.

That 2015 figure will be even higher by the end of the year, thanks to killings like that of a 74-yearold Ping Shun Ao, an innocent bystander who was killed by a stray bullet during a gang-linked shooting in Abbotsford in September.

Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit Chief Supt. Kevin Hackett said many of the incidents were in Surrey or Delta, where B.C.’s anti-gang police unit worked closely with local officers to suppress conflict between rival groups, with success later in the year.

“Street-level drug traffickers brazenly shot at each other from moving vehicles and engaged in gun battles on our roads putting the community at risk,” Hackett said.

His comments were published this week in the CFSEU’s 2015 community report. It can be found at bc-anti-gang.com.

According to statistics released in the report, the average age of a gang violence victim is 25 years old, which is younger than in previous years. The youngest victim this year was 15, while the oldest was 66.

Over the past 10 years, there have been 15 female victims of gang violence and there have been 35 mass gang shootings (involving multiple victims of gun violence at one location) claiming 85 victims.

Significant arrests have been made this year.

Two men face charges in connection with a

series of arsons and shootings in previous years targeting staff of the Justice Institute of B.C. Hackett also cited the arrests of two extremely violent and prolific dangerous offenders from Edmonton in the Lower Mainland who were tied to crimes in B.C. and Alberta, including murders, attempted murders and violent home invasions involving the torture and mutilation of victims.

Hackett said a joint forces operation led by the CFSEU was needed because the “brazen and transient” crime group posed a higher risk to public safety.

In the courts, the trial of three men for the 2011 murder of gangster Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna is expected to get underway next spring.

The report also highlights two Abbotsford high school students who were executed in 2009 on Sumas Mountain as examples of adolescents lured by the temptation of a luxury lifestyle fueled by drug cash.

“They were not high-level drug lords,” the report says of the slain Grade 12s from W. J. Mouat secondary school. “They were two kids who wanted to be able to pay for a limousine to get to prom.”

It says B.C. teachers are reporting children as young as nine asking 11-year-olds on elementary school playgrounds who they can talk to about selling some drugs.

Prevention remains a major focus of the CFSEU, which continues to press its End Gang Life initiative with school presentations and emotional videos from former gang members or surviving loved ones.

The province has committed new funding for 35 additional presentations of the CFSEU’s End Gang Life presentation to school students in the Lower Mainland, the Okanagan and Vancouver Island.

The sessions aim to demystify the tactics of gang recruiters and better equip kids to resist them.

The event raised money for their graduation activities, but the students also wanted to give something back to the community.

Admission to the house was $7 or $5 with a non-perishable food item. Out of the small graduating class of 42, 35 participated in organizing and running the event.

Veteran “volun-deer” encourages community to help Operation Red Nose For the past 20 years during the holiday season, Operation Red Nose (ORN) has helped hundreds of people make it home safe after a night of drinking. Their objective is to keep impaired drivers off the road by deploying a group of volunteers (or “volun-deers”) to take them home in their own vehicle.

PacificSport Fraser Valley (PSFV) is the host organization for ORN in the Abbotsford/Mission and Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows areas. Although ORN’s services are free, donations are accepted and go towards assisting with the expenses of the athletes and coaches that PSFV serves.

As a founding member of PSFV, and secretary of its board of directors until 2007, Peg Wenting recalls when the organization was looking to host a fundraiser 20 years ago.

“It was most fortunate that the board accepted the idea and ORN began in Abbotsford,” she says. ”It’s important to the community to get our clients home safely and off the road if they are impaired, and I’m sure they appreciate having their car back home as well as themselves.”

ford Quilters Guild, where she makes quilts for the nursery at the hospital and transition houses.

Still, ORN remains an organization closest to her heart.

“The volunteers are a great group to work with,” she says. “They are dedicated, fun, and good at what they do.”

ORN is currently looking for volunteers for the upcoming season. If you want to get some volunteer hours on your resume, this seasonal program is a great option with impact.

“Jump on the train and contribute, enjoy, and feel good about what you do,” says Wenting. “The community will benefit too. “ A typical volunteer shift is 8:30 p.m. to 3:30 a.m., sometimes longer. Volunteer training is provided on each night of service.

Wenting has remained heavily involved with ORN since its launch, even though she jokingly admits that she no longer volunteers for the 4 a.m. shifts.

Her involvement with the community has spanned far beyond ORN, beginning when she and her husband bought a small bicycle shop in town in 1978.

Now located in Mission, Wentings’ Cycle & Mountain Shop’s cycling club hosted the Canadian National Road Cycling Championships in 1998. Wenting held the role of Sport Chair for Cycling for the 1995 Western Canada Summer Games, the Abbotsford BC Summer Games in 2004, and the Abbotsford BC Senior Games in 2006. She is also the recipient of the Volunteer of the Year Award (City of Abbotsford), the PacificSport Fraser Valley Builder Award, and the Community Sport Hero Award (Sport BC).

Peg Wenting is a founding member of PacificSport Fraser Valley — the host organization for Operation Red Nose.

Keep your heart running strong Heart health should be a concern for people of all ages, but especially for men and women over 50. That’s because even men and women who are free of cardiovascular disease at age 50 are at a significant lifetime risk of developing the disease.

• Get sufficient exercise. At least 30 minutes of exercise per day can protect against disease.

• Quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk for a host of ailments, including heart disease. Quitting is a great way to start getting your heart and other parts of your body back on track.

Heart disease does not have to be an accepted byproduct of aging. Maintaining or increasing physical activity after age 65 can improve the heart’s well-being and lower risk of heart attack.

• Include heart-healthy foods in your diet. A diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables and low in cholesterol, salt and saturated fat promotes heart health.

In addition to increasing physical activity as they age, older men and women who understand heart disease and learn to recognize its symptoms have a greater chance of minimizing its affects and lowering their risk of having a heart attack.

• Don’t drink alcohol to excess. Like smoking, drinking alcohol to excess can lead to a host of problems, such as high blood pressure, arrhythmia and high cholesterol, each of which increases your risk of heart disease.

What are the symptoms of heart disease?

Heart disease is a blanket term used to describe a host of conditions, so symptoms vary depending on the condition.

• Hypertension: Also known as high blood pressure, hypertension is a largely symptomless form of heart disease. The idea that hypertension produces symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, facial flushing, nervousness, and sweating is a misconception.

Symptoms typically do not alert men

• Heart attack: The symptoms of a heart attack are different than the symptoms of heart disease that may lead to heart attack. Signs that you may be heading toward a heart attack include undue fatigue, palpitations (the sensation that your heart is skipping a beat or beating too rapidly),

dyspnea (difficulty or labored breathing), chest pain or discomfort from increased activity.

• Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia means your heartbeat is irregular, and men and women often mistakenly believe arrhythmia only afflicts those who already have been diagnosed with heart disease or have had a heart attack. But arrhythmia can affect even those who have healthy hearts and no history of cardiovascular disease.

Symptoms of arrhythmia can vary

• Lose weight. Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor for heart greatly, from a single premature beat disease.

Admission is free to Art on Demand 1:5 and to the opening reception. The Reach is located at 32388 Veterans Way. For more information, visit thereach.ca.

Take Our Kids to Work Day More than 1,300 Grade 9 students in Abbotsford took part in the recent national Take Our Kids to Work Day. The annual event sees students hosted by parents, friends, relatives and volunteers at workplaces every November.

The program supports career development by helping students connect school, the world of work, and their futures.

Across the country, more than 250,000 students and 75,000 organizations participate in the event each year, spanning every province and territory.

As an assignment, participating Abbotsford students had to provide a photo and/or video account of their day at work, which were then assessed and judged.

First place went to Hayden Fast from Robert Bateman secondary who received an iPad Mini, and second prize was presented to Josh Watkins, also from Robert Bateman, who received a $100 gift certificate to Best Buy. The annual event is co-ordinated locally by the district career programs, and produced nationally by the Learning Partnership.

$20,000 to help Holiday activities at Trethewey House fight racism Tours, carolling and more

Community Services receives government funding To help combat racism, Abbotsford Community Services (ACS) has received $20,000 from the B.C. government.

ACS will use the money to continue building its network for the Fraser Valley Human Dignity Coalition and expand its partnership with Langley.

The coalition is a group of concerned citizens who gather to promote inclusion and organize against racism, hate and discrimination in Abbotsford, Langley, and throughout the Fraser Valley.

ACS is one of 14 organizations throughout the province par-

ticipating in B.C.’s Organizing Against Racism and Hate (OARH) program.

These organizations are sharing $240,000 in funding from the provincial government towards activities in 24 communities that connect area networks in their common goal of wiping out racism.

This includes local outreach, educational events, workshops and community engagements.

The OARH program helps communities address racism and create a long-term plan to eradicate violence, discrimination and hate in their communities.

Under the program,

all activities must be developed using a collaborative, community-based process.

For more information about OARH, visit embracebc.ca.

Trethewey House in Abbotsford is offering a few activities for the holiday season.

The MSA Museum Society’s site at 2313 Ware St. includes holiday tours of the heritage house from Nov. 30 to Dec. 18.

The tours are available weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and are open to groups of up to 12 people.

Donations are gratefully ac-

cepted for heritage programming.

Also at Trethewey House, old-fashioned carolling around Mill Lake followed by a showing of the classic holiday movie Miracle on 34th Street takes place on Tuesday, Dec. 8 at 5:30 p.m.

The event is free, but reservations are recommended for the movie, due to limited space.

On Saturday, Dec. 12, there will be an old-fashioned breakfast with Santa. Two seatings are available – 9:30 and 11 a.m. – and free tours follow from 1 to 5 p.m.

Tickets for the breakfast are $8 and are available on eventbrite. ca. For more information or to reserve a spot for the holiday tours or movie night, email info@ msamuseum.ca or call 604-8530313.

Additionally, the organization will be able to develop a one-on-one life skills program to help people improve their independence.

“Funding for community-based associations has been critically short for years and sometimes the local brain injury groups are the only supports people with acquired brain injuries have,” FVBIA executive director Carol Paetkau said. “Thank you to the government of British Columbia for recognizing the value of community-based services for this population.”

“The expansion of the programs being offered will make a huge difference in our community,” Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas said. “A brain injury can happen at any moment and change a life forever. This investment will touch many lives.”

“I’m happy to hear that thanks to this funding, the Fraser Valley Brain Injury Association will be able to provide new programs throughout the region,” Abbotsford West MLA Michael de Jong said.

“The hard work they continue to do will improve the lives of those impacted by a brain injury.”

In May, the government provided $3 million in funding over three years to the Brain Injury Alliance which has distributed funding to organizations in two stages. In the first stage, $10,000 was provided to each of B.C.’s 16 community-based, non-profit brain-injury service providers to help with operational costs.

In the second stage, brain-injury organizations in B.C. receive funding based on applications for programs specific to their needs. These organizations run programs and services to help reduce the incidence of injury or directly help those affected by brain injuries.

Tenore performs Thursday in Chilliwack A concert on Thursday, Dec. 3 in Chilliwack will raise money for an Abbotsford family of a six-year-old girl who is battling bone cancer.

The concert features Tenore, a tenor group that is a four-time winner of the Gospel Music Association’s (GMA) Covenant Awards.

It takes place at 7:30 p.m. at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre (9201 Corbould St.) and features special guests the MEI concert choir.

Partial proceeds from GRETA LOEWEN every ticket sale go to support Greta Loewen, 6, who was diagnosed a year ago with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer.

She has since had ongoing treatment at BC Children’s Hospital and also travelled to Boston, where she received a type of radiation treatment not available in Canada, and to Toronto.

Fundraisers throughout the year – including a bottle drive, a craft fair, an art auction and a book drive – have helped cover expenses such as medication, travel, meals and living costs, as mom Heather and dad Tim stay by Greta’s side.

The concert is based on Tenore’s 2014 GMA “Seasonal Album of the Year” award – for their album Christmas with You – and will include some holiday favourites.

The group has sung to hundreds of thousands and are known for their powerhouse vocals, rock star charisma and invitations with audiences everywhere to sing along with them.

Tickets for the show are available at the House of James in Abbotsford, at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre box office or online at chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.

Student boosts Starfish Packs Mya and family donate 265 chocolate bars

Mya, a Grade 1 student in Abbotsford, with the help of her family, recently donated 265 chocolate bars to the Submitted Starfish Pack program.

Perhaps the youngest donor to the Starfish Pack program has stepped up with a donation from her own savings.

For the second year in a row, Mya, a Grade 1 student, decided she wanted to support the Starfish Packs handed out at her school.

This program helps ensure students whose families are without enough food won’t go hungry over weekends by providing non-perishable food in a backpack to go home each Friday.

Mya, with help from her family, used her savings to buy and

Myths & realities:

You wanna roll like a gangster? ▾ MYTH: Gangs have formal organization and structure: Reality: By and large, few youth gangs evolve into adult criminal organizations and most gangs are loosely structured, with transient membership and easily breached codes of loyalty. With many gang members being arrested or murdered, membership is usually in a constant state of flux with internal competition for leadership roles.

donate one chocolate bar – from a school fundraiser – for every Starfish Pack across the district. Mya’s reason

for donating the chocolate bars is simple: She wants to help people not as lucky as her.

The Starfish Pack

program supports 265 children in 22 schools in Abbotsford. With the help of the Abbotsford Rotary Club and com-

The members of Cycling4Diversity are extremely proud of Harjit Sajjan, who has been cycling with us for the past two years and has been appointed Canada’s new defence minister.

This is what he shared with me before he got involved with C4D off one of our Facebook chats a few years ago, and speaks volumes of his character.

Sajjan said, “I am very impressed with your efforts and unique approach.

I command one of the most diverse regiments in Canada, and I am passionate about positively changKen ing people’s perception of diversity.”

I couldn’t think of a better response from someone in his position to lead our nation with the strife we currently face around the globe. In the two years Harjit was involved with C4D, he not only changed people’s perceptions, he left a lasting impression with everyone he touched building on our message of inclusion.

I had the opportunity to meet my good friend Jaspreet Anand, who owns SippChai on Townline in Abbotsford. He started his first annual SippChai Charity Calendar that will benefit many local organizations, and was kind enough to put members of our Cycling4Diversity team in May 2016, along with many other organizations such as Abbotsford Youth Commission, Cyrus Centre, The Salvation Army and Abbotsford Arts Council, to name a few. The calendars are selling for $10 and he is hoping to sell 10,000 calendars.

If you ever walk into Mission McDonald’s late in the evening, you’ll be sure to bump into Don Warkentin, who is always busy with his writing and music as visitors munch on their burgers and fries.

He’s an avid reader and world-class gardener, along with his late wife Hilda, who passed away a few years back.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Warkentin at McDonald’s a few months back and he shared an interesting story about his childhood. The kitchen table is where we learn to care about people who may be different than us. Growing up in Abbotsford, he spoke about being a young child and his mother asking him to deliver a pie and bread to the Mitchells, who lived across the street.

He puts it simply, “Nobody trusted them and they trusted no one.”

As he approached the door that evening, and he remembers it fondly, Mr. Mitchell would take his gun off the wall and yell “who is it?” As he would open the door slowly, Mitchell would see little Donny with food and would welcome him inside.

He describes this valuable lesson from his mother as, “We have to learn to care.”

The UFV Cascades women’s basketball team is back on track, after completing a sweep of the UNBC Timberwolves on Friday and Saturday.

UFV led for all but 42 seconds of the game on Friday, and won 80-68.

The Cascades shot 46.9 per cent from the field, and had balanced scoring from players Shayna Cameron (21 points), Kayli Sartori (17 points, eight rebounds and five assists), Taylor Claggett (17 points and seven rebounds) and Sydney Williams (14 points).

They followed that up with another dominant performance, leading UNBC for the entire game in a 78-67 win. Sartori had another big game, with 23 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three steals. Claggett added 17 points and six rebounds.

“I thought it was a great performance for our team,” said women’s team head coach Al Tuchscherer after

Saturday’s game. “We came out with a lot of energy and played fantastic basketball for a lot of the game, which enabled us to get a lot of our girls into the game (in the fourth quarter), which was super-valuable to us.”

He also praised the play of Sartori, who earned Canada West third star of the week last week.

“Kayli is leading us in a lot of different ways,” Tuchscherer said. “She’s a calming influence on our team, and it’s nice

The women improve to a record of four wins and two losses, and are tied for third in the Explorer division.

Meanwhile, the men earned a split with the T-Wolves, losing 81-74 on Friday, and winning 74-72 on Saturday.

It was a similar story on Saturday, but the Cascades managed to hang on for the win.

Vijay Dhillon scored a team-high 20 points, while Navjot Bains had a double-double, with 11 points and 11 rebounds.

“It’s a tough place to play, and when they get on a roll, that place starts to get loud,” said men’s head coach Adam Friesen, whose team led 22-10 after the first quarter and maintained a double-digit lead for much of the evening. “They really got rolling (in the fourth quarter), and we didn’t do a great job of slowing them down once that happened. We needed everyone tonight. We didn’t play our best basketball, but a lot of guys stepped up.”

The men’s team is tied for first in the Explorer division, with a record of five wins and one loss.

The teams wrap up the calendar year with road games against the TRU Wolfpack on Friday and Saturday.

and deadlift totals.

Wolbers posted a combined weight of 904, smashing the old world record of 777.8.

The WABDL hall of famer admitted his bench press and deadlift totals were down a bit due to a back injury he suffered before the competition, but he’s pleased with the win.

“It’s always a lot of fun to compete,” he said. “I don’t want to brag, but I’ve been world champion in my division for five years running now.”

Wolbers trains four days a week at Generation X Fitness in Mission, and has a bench press he works out on at home. He started the sport at the age of 42, after discovering that running wasn’t his favourite activity.

“I ran a few marathons and my last one I was halfway through and I decided

this isn’t for me,” he said. “I wanted to try something different, and fooled around in the gym for a while and tried a meet. It just went on from there.”

He’s regularly won awards at WABDL events since 2011, and has the second all-time deadlift in WABDL history for the 61 to 67 age group at 600.7 pounds.

At the same event last year, he dead-lifted 585 pounds to set a new record in his age group.

Wolbers said he’s competing at an event in Portland in March, and is also planning on going to the Olympia in 2016.

He’s not planning on retiring the barbells anytime soon.

“I want to keep going as long as I can,” he said. “Us old guys have to train even harder than the young guys.”

Abbotsford Skating Club wins in Aldergrove Levale off to Dubai There’s one more stop on the Nakisa Levale rugby world tour for 2015.

The 2015 Abbotsford Secondary grad heads to Dubai as a member of the Maple Leafs development team roster for the Dubai International Invitational on Dec. 3 and 4.

In January, Levale was a member of the Team BC U18 girls team that travelled to Las Vegas, and for the past several months has competed for the University of Victoria Vikes rugby club.

Levale and the Vikes finished with two wins and two losses in the Canada West regular season, and placed fifth in the country after a successful playoff run.

The Maple Leafs team plays South Africa, Belgium and Norway’s Tabusoro clubs on day one of the event, with the day two schedule still to be determined.

December, with fall skating programs wrapping up on Dec. 10.

A club Christmas party/performance night is happening on Dec. 11, with

the BC/Yukon Open Synchro and Adult Competition occurring on Dec. 12.

Abby foursome qualifies for Vanier Cup Friesen, Cummings, Hua and Bowcott playing in CIS championship game Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News

The UBC Thunderbirds, including four Abbotsford football products, are set to play for the Vanier Cup on Saturday.

Defensive back Tanner Friesen, wide re-

ceiver Ben Cummings, defensive lineman Levi Hua and quarterback Greg Bowcott hit the gridiron in Quebec City for the 51st edition of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championship.

Friesen and

Cummings are both first-years, and graduated from Robert Bateman Secondary.

Hua is a second-year and graduated from W.J. Mouat Secondary, while Bowcott is a fifthyear player from Rick Hansen Secondary.

UBC disposed of the St. FX X-Men 36-9 in Nova Scotia on Nov. 21 to qualify for the big game. The win earned the Thunderbirds the Uteck Bowl. Cummings caught two passes for 23 yards in the victory.

UBC head coach

Blake Nill said he was thrilled with the win.

It’s been a remarkable turnaround for UBC, after the club finished last in the Canada West conference with two wins and six losses in 2014.

“I would never have

expected this in a hundred years with this group, a group that was 2-6 last year and to get them to a Vanier Cup; and it is not like we have had an easy road either – we had to win in Calgary, we had to win in Manitoba, win in

Saskatchewan. We beat some good teams to get here.”

The Thunderbirds next play the defending champion Montreal Carabins for the Vanier Cup. The game kicks off at 10 a.m., and can be seen live on Sportsnet.

TAYLOR William

OSHIRO Marion Teresa (nee Shedden) July 9, 1930 ~ November 17, 2015 “Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes, because for those who love with their heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.” - Rumi Marion Teresa Oshiro passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on November 17, 2015. Marion was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, one of seven Shedden children and the longest living member of her family. Life on the prairies turned out a pretty hardy stock and Marion lived up to this undeniably. She knew life was not all smooth sailing and she prepared herself for a bumpy ride. Along with her gritty determination, her sparky temperament, her infectious humour, she had a kind heart that instantly noticed when someone felt sad, or under the weather and extended to them in the best way she could, by giving them a teddy bear. She gave out a lot of teddy bears. Marion enjoyed the sing-a-longs and social events at Carrington House and having a friendly chat with her neighbours. Her calendars were always marked with upcoming events and she looked forward to every one of them. Marion’s greatest joy was her family. Having just celebrated her 62nd Wedding Anniversary with her husband, George, the love of her life, adding another milestone. With Marion’s boundless energy, her husband George remained her quiet anchor. Marion took pleasure in the latest updates on the events in lives of daughters, grandchildren and anyone connected within that circle. Marion loved being “the First to know” and often was. Everyone loved to share with her, because she took genuine delight in the latest news and was happy to pass it along. It is wonderful to know Marion will be close to her sisters once more, Peggy, Kay and her trusty sidekick, Pam; her much admired sister-in-law, Mary, as well as her brothers, Frank, Dave and Bill. The clan will be together once again. The memories of Marion will be cherished forever by her loving husband, George, her daughters, Ramona, Kim, Pam (Rob), Paula (Doug) and grandchildren, Kara (Alex), Nick, Craig, Emily (Phil), Chloe (Kevin), Shayleen, Janna, Matthew and great grandchildren, Rayfe, Kaiya and one on the way, as well as many adored nieces, nephews and special people that touched her life. The rain poured down steadily, but the sun peeked through the hospital window and left a rainbow in the sky the day she passed. Marion’s final wave as she took leave for Heaven. Special thanks to Dr. Patel, Dr. Nemanishen, Lorraine, Ingrid and the staff at Mission Memorial Hospital. At Marion’s request, a private family Celebration of Life took place on Saturday, November 21st. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.bakerviewcrematorium.com

William Victor Taylor aged 55 years passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 22, 2015. He is lovingly remembered by his dad Don; brothers Norman (Debbie), David (Mary), Paul (Roxanne) and Brian as well as many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

He is predeceased by his mother Mabelle (2012); sister Maureen and brother Herb. A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, November 30, 2015 at 2:00 pm at Woodlawn Mission Funeral Home, 7386 Horne St., Mission, BC. Woodlawn Mission Funeral Home (604) 826-9548

JANZEN Sieglinde January 24, 1945 ~ November 21, 2015 Sieglinde Janzen was born in Brazil to Gustav and Maria Janzen.

Sieglinde enjoyed a wonderful childhood playing in the rolling hills filled with wild flowers, chirping birds and the occasional rattle snake. At age 19 she boarded a ship with her younger brother and moved to Germany for one year and then joined her family who had immigrated to Canada.

At age 30 she invited Jesus into her life.

She lived in Kitsilano most of her life where she made life-long friends, served in her church, worked in the printing and magazine business and was a constant witness for her Lord.

She was pre-deceased by her parents and her brothers, Johannes and Waldemar. She is survived by Siegfried, Hermann (Erica), Fridolin (Eva), Heidi (Gerry Peters), sister-in-laws Hilde Penner and Helga Janzen along with many nieces and nephews.

She fought a brief battle with lung cancer and entered into the presence of her Lord while her loved ones held her hands and sang Jesus Loves Me. Funeral Services at King Road Church in Abbotsford on Wednesday, December 2. A brief viewing will be held at 10:30 am at the Church, internment at Maclure Cemetery at 11:30 and Memorial Service at 2:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Life Recovery Association, Abbotsford.
