Edmonton drug bust tied to local conflict Townline Hill link to seizure of five kilograms of cocaine Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A man who Abbotsford Police say is connected to the Townline Hill conflict has been arrested in Edmonton after police intercepted a shipment of cocaine that was

allegedly concealed in a hidden compartment in his vehicle. Rajwinder Singh Gandham, 27, was arrested by ALERT (Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams) Edmonton on Feb. 26. The RCMP roving traffic unit assisted with the arrest, pulling over Gandham’s Jeep SUV

as it was travelling into Edmonton on the Yellowhead Highway. Police say Gandham’s SUV was equipped with a hydraulic hidden compartment containing five kilograms of cocaine with an estimated street value of $500,000. Continued on A4

2015 CLEAROUT ATS COUPE AWD

Statistics released this week by the Abbotsford Police Department provide some surprising information about impaired drivers, says Const. Ian MacDonald. MacDonald said police looked at a 28-day period, running from Jan. 23 to Feb. 19, and found that of the 44 impaired drivers caught during that time, one-quarter of the infractions took place between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Many of these drivers were in or near school zones when pulled over by police, MacDonald added. He said these stats dispel the myths that people are

and that most are detected only during police roadblocks. In one case, an impaired

woman in her 40s was caught driving 80 km/h through a school zone at 1 p.m. MacDonald said if this wasn’t alarming enough, the woman was oblivious that police were attempting to pull her over. “It took quite awhile to get her attention, despite the lights and sirens,” he said. When she was stopped, an open bottle of rum was found in her car. The woman was given a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition. MacDonald said enforcement during the 28-day period was conducted at all hours of the day and night, and the stats are an eye-opener. “Impaired driving is a 24/7 issue, and it puts us all at risk,” he said.

“They’re going where the money is, and they’re going to ply their trade anywhere and any way they can.” Staff Sgt. Pierre Blais of ALERT Edmonton said the investigation demonstrates the “borderless nature” of organized crime. He said such a matter is “very complex” and takes many resources. “But in a short order, due to the assistance of all our police services – the RCMP, Abbotsford Police Department, Vancouver Police Department and the joint forces operation that we have here in ALERT – it really does give us the proper tools to effectively combat organized crime,” Blais said. ALERT is funded by the Alberta government and includes members of police agencies in Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat, as well as the Alberta Sheriffs and RCMP.

ABBOTSFORD

Canada’s youngest region

Abbotsford and Mission still have the highest share of children in Canada. The 2015 data from Statistics Canada show that the Abbotsford-Mission census metropolitan area (CMA) has 18 per cent of its popu-

lation aged 0-14. The higher share of children in Abbotsford and Mission has been attributed to the municipalities’ historically younger, family-oriented community. Jonathan Chagnon of

Statistics Canada in 2012 said that the area also ranks fourth in the nation for those aged zero to four. The population growth rate in the CMA is 1.4 per cent, higher than the Canadian rate which is 0.9 per cent.

Economic development programs cost $89,000 Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

The City of Abbotsford spent a combined $89,000 on its international marketing strategy, an economic development department website, and a geo-map tool that aims to connect developers and companies with land. That total includes $25,000 obtained by the city from a federal grant. The figures weren’t available in the fall, when the city launched the site, the tool, and a strategy looking how to make the city more attractive to international investors. The interactive CAED website was created

by a Langley company and features information touting Abbotsford as a great place to live and work, and highlights the city’s programs to encourage business growth. It cost $26,000. The site can be found at caed. abbotsford.ca. The geo-map tool, which cost an additional $13,000, combines property listings and demographic data with an interactive map of the city, so anyone looking for a new business site can view the best locations, along with an array of mapped data about consumer spending, labour force distribution, household income and more. It can be found at abbotsfordsitefinder.ca.

The international marketing strategy was prepared by international firm Development Counsellors International. It said Abbotsford must challenge a reputation for being “unfriendly” to business and a lack of global awareness. The strategy suggested rebranding Abbotsford International Airport as Abbotsford-Metro Vancouver International Airport, and sprucing up the terminal. The strategy cost a total of $50,000, although half that amount came from a federal program designed to increase foreign investment in Canadian communities. The report also proposed a regional

public relations campaign, and recommended branding local agricultural products as “Made in Abby: Abbotsford, British Columbia.” The report said: “Such a small effort – combined with its catchy, edgy ‘Abby’ reference – has the potential to create awareness throughout the agricultural world of the diversity and quality of the Fraser Valley’s top city.” In a written statement to The News, Mayor Henry Braun said the city’s tools “form an important foundation as we continue to build capacity behind our economic development initiatives.”

The price of a home in Abbotsford continues to skyrocket, with Januaryâ€™s record-setting figures eclipsed by those seen in February. The benchmark price of a single-family home in the city reached $531,400 last month, according to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB). That is an increase of 4.4 per cent just from January. In the last 60 days, the typical single-family house in Abbotsford has seen its value rise by an astounding $36,600, according to the FVREB.

Similar numbers are being seen across the region, which recorded a record number of sales in February. With 2,387 sales in February, the month beat the 10-year average for the month by 46 per cent and outpaced the 24-year-old existing record. â€œIn my 25 years of real estate, I have never seen such consistent demand for housing in the Fraser Valley,â€? said Charles Wiebe, president of the FVREB. â€œWhile itâ€™s certainly encouraging to see such con-

The Abbotsford school districtâ€™s class sizes are among the largest on average in the province, but thatâ€™s actually a good thing, according to superintendent Kevin Godden. According to the provinceâ€™s most recent class size and composition report, class sizes in the Abbotsford school district rank well above the B.C. averages for each grade range. The average kindergarten class has 20.4 students, ranking Abbotsford eighth among the provinceâ€™s 60 school districts, and above the B.C. average of 19.5 students. The Grade 1 to 3 number is 22.5 students, tied for fifth-highest, and above

the provincial average of 21.8 school year, an increase from students. Abbotsfordâ€™s Grade 4 1,077 the previous year.

Godden added that the district pays more attention to the composition of classrooms, and that it attempts to ensure students who need extra help arenâ€™t clumped into individual classes. Representatives of the Abbotsford District Teachersâ€™ Association did not respond to a request for comment.

ESTATE PLANNING 101

Pipeline deals come too cheap While it comes as no surprise that Abbotsford, along with the rest of B.C., is easily willing to sell out, it does come as a surprise to sell out so cheaply. Why is it that when we have genuine concerns about health, environment and very real negative outcomes that could arise – for example, spills and contamination that has happened already – our city leaders, provincial leaders and federal leaders only look to increase their monetary gain, or their golf game? The least these leaders could do is create sustainable

local infrastructure, create more jobs, or even create a viable option for helping our local less fortunate individuals. The local young population has about a five to 10 per cent chance in their entire life to earn enough to own their own home, and many local single parents struggle to feed the developing minds that are our future, but instead we decide golf club houses are more important. The revenue that would be created by such an improvement would be similar to the Abbotsford Centre bust. What

is the percentage of locals who actually attend the already existent golf club? What percentage will the rates increase by? How many fewer people will take part in this activity afterwards? Would it not be wiser to have a more sustainable way of living? And who better to help pay for it than these fat cats making all the money off of our Canadian resources? Health care cuts? Income tax increase? Fewer jobs? Higher home prices? A Canadian dollar so reliant on oil? Just doesn’t make sense. Kyle Froese

Where:

Longer jail sentence warranted I feel compelled to express my disgust on such a ridiculously light and unjust sentence imposed by the judge on Mr. Leger. A reasonable sentence would have been more

like 20 years (after two-thirds served) and a lifetime as a sex registry offender. This sentence is nothing short of a second assault on this young lady. This is also

brave young lady a very happy life in her future. She is a courageous young lady and her parents must be very proud of her. God bless her. Don Williams

a very good reason why many of the sexual assault victims do not come forward to report crimes against them. Shame on this judge! I certainly wish this

We would like to again say a big thank you for a real surprise at a local restaurant in Abbotsford on Wednesday, Feb. 10. We are a group of 10 Red Hat ladies out for an evening of friendship and a meal. As we were getting ready to leave, our server came to us with $150 gift certificate to use for our next visit to the restaurant. The surprise was that it turned out to be a gift from three gentlemen at an adjacent table. Wow! We are still talking about this wonderful gesture. Pat Lindhede Abby Scarlett O’Hatters

Amarit Dass, Owner, College Park Liquor Store

WHAT YOUR WINE CHOICES SAY ABOUT YOUR PERSONALITY... Pinot Grigio: You’re a giver with a trusting heart. Friends often come to you for advice, and you’re a big believer in sending care packages to your kids in college. Chardonnay: You have places to go and people to see. Between planning dinner parties for friends and picking up the kids from practice, you’ll do it all without breaking a sweat and still have time to watch The Bachelor. Rosé: To you, 21 feels like yesterday. You can decipher your daughter’s text slang without problem, and secretly, Disney movies still make you emotional.

110 - 2630 Gladys Ave., Abbotsford

604-850-2000 www.gladysvet.ca

Pinot Noir: You’re charming, clever, and complicated. You’re the type who, if granted one more wish, would ask for more wishes. You follow your instincts and don’t mind

Cabernet Sauvignon: You are always coming up with new ideas and tend to overuse the line “just go with the flow” when trying to convince your friends to join. College Park Liquor Store stands out from others of its kind in the Lower Mainland by offering a diversity of spirits, wine and beer (including gluten-free and organic options). Friendly, knowledgeable staff can make suggestions for wine and spirits based on any price point. “When someone walks in the door, their first impression is, ‘Wow!, ” says owner Amarit Dass, a successful local realtor for over 20 years. We will special order any product a customer requests (so long as it’s available) at no extra charge. Above all, it’s all about the customer and their experience,” says Dass. College Park Liquor Store offers daily discounts for seniors, government employees, UFV student discounts as well as monthly give-aways.

Expansion at city-owned cemetery Mount Lehman site to re-open in April Construction is underway to double the size of the City of Abbotsford’s Mount Lehman cemetery. In addition to increasing the number of burial plots, the improvements will see the building of a columbarium for funeral urns, with two more to be constructed later. A scattering garden, decorative fencing and on-street parking are also being added. The cemetery – located on Taylor Road in the city’s far northwestern corner – will be closed during construction, with completion of the project anticipated in mid-April. Budget for the project is $319,000. In 2007, a city report estimated that Abbotsford’s cemeteries could accommodate needs for 30 years. Nine years later, the city says it should still have enough capacity for the next 25 to 30 years, thanks to the Mount Lehman cemetery expansion, added efficiencies in the systems, and shifts in burial practices.

“I feel strongly that by listening to people, we are making better project decisions.” - Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada

For more than four years, we’ve worked together with our neighbours and local communities to hear what they have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion. By listening closely and having an open dialogue, we’ve been able to create a stronger, safer and more responsive project. We are working to meet all the requirements of the regulators, as well as consulting with communities, Indigenous people, government agencies and municipalities – and we’ll continue to work with them throughout development, construction and operations. We know how critical it is to get this right. Most importantly, we’re acting on what we hear with signiﬁcant changes to the Project.

How feedback has resulted in a stronger, safer and better project: • • • • • • •

A $100 million investment in the West Coast Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) for marine safety enhancements. A commitment to offset any greenhouse gas emissions resulting from construction. An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126. An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings. Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at ﬁsh-inhabited rivers including the Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla. Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and three BC Class A parks. Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloops and the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.

WINNER HE

An Abbotsford boy whose birthday wish is to raise $9,000 for the Starfish Pack Program is onethird of the way there. Chase, 6, has so far raised more than $3,000 for the cause, and is holding a fundraising event this Sunday, March 6 to boost that amount. “Chase’s Lemonade Stand and Bottle Drive” runs from noon to 5 p.m. at Godson Elementary (33130 Bevan Ave.). Chase’s goal is to fill a fourlitre jug with dimes. The event includes a Guess the Beans contest and an appearance at 3 p.m. by the magician The Great Gordini. Empty bottles and cans can also be dropped off during the event. In lieu of receiving gifts for his birthday on March 22, Chase initially set a goal to raise $50 for the Starfish Pack Program, which provides backpacks filled with food for school-aged kids to take home on the weekends. The program currently serves 263 children in Abbotsford at a cost of $525 per child for a school year. Chase and his mom, Eliza Miller, made a poster to promote his plan and posted it on Facebook. Within 48 hours, $534 had been collected, and Chase hiked his goal to $9,000 – enough to fill 17 backpacks. The donations have continued to come in, and Miller said she and Chase are appreciative of all the support. “Chase tells me every day how lucky he is to have such amazing people on this Earth,” she said. Donations are being accepted until March 31 at Play Abby (2043 Abbotsford Way), via PayPal at

Yale students raise $23,070 for Canuck Place Canuck Place got a big assist from the Yale Secondary Leadership program on Friday night. The program held its annual Live to Give fundraiser overnight on Friday, and raised $23,270 for Canuck Place in Abbotsford.

The students organized a “lock in” with theme rooms such as karaoke room, games room, food room, man cave, ladies room, and even a giant slip-andslide down the hallway. The evening began with a visit from Yale

grad and Canucks TV host Hannah Bernard, who got the crowd of 300 students pumped up about the evening, and then introduced Jake Virtanen and Ben Hutton from the Vancouver Canucks. The two Canucks compli-

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.

mented the students on working so hard fundraising for a such an important cause and spoke of their experiences visiting Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. This was the fifth annual Live to Give at the school which has now raised over $100,000. In the past, they have raised money for Free the Children, but decided this year to choose an organization in Abbotsford. The students work together to decide who to donate the money to and research different organizations. They also went on a field trip to visit Canuck Place in Abbotsford to see the different programs they have and the great work they do. The night was capped off with prizes, including a Henrik Sedin signed stick and a hoverboard. A very tired group of students went home Saturday morning with a sense of pride for surpassing their $20,000 goal.

WHAT DOES YOUR WINE SAY ABOUT YOU?

The Fraser Valley Express launched last spring.

FVX revenue exceeds expectations The Fraser Valley Express bus that connects Chilliwack and Abbotsford with Langley and the Translink system outperformed expectations through its first nine months, according to a review of the service for the Fraser Valley Regional District. The review found ridership of the bus has doubled since service began last April, with revenue expected to exceed the $23,000-per-month target. “Recent financial information is supporting a higher average per month which will help to hold or reduce future tax requisitions needed to support this service,” the report said. BC Transit funds 47 per cent of the service, with Abbotsford and Chilliwack covering the rest of the cost. The first year of the service had been expected to cost Abbotsford $411,897. The service and ridership review also identified possible changes for the future, including expansion of service to Sundays and holidays, although BC Transit hasn’t recommended any tweaks, given the success of the bus so far. “To make significant changes now could interfere with the momentum that appears to be in place,” the report said.

A large mixed-media art piece designed to bring together women who might not otherwise meet will be unveiled Saturday at The Reach Gallery Museum (32388 Veterans Way). Artist Linda Klippenstein worked with designer Valdene McCutcheon to come up with the multi-canvas piece, titled We Gather Together, which measures five feet by 15 feet and is emblematic of the “city in the country.” The country provides the backdrop – mountains that give way to rolling hills, forest and farmland – all made from bits of torn paper, quilted fabric pieces and cedar bark. At its centre are two hands coming together over the city, which forms the heart of the piece. As one gets closer, one sees hundreds of people coming together from across the landscape. Over the course of several months, over 80 women pasted more than 60,000 pieces of torn

paper to the canvas, bringing the landscape to life. They were women of all ages and abilities, of all vocations or none, of different cultures and ethnicities, of wealth and poverty, from urban and rural locations in the Fraser Valley. They sat side by side, week after week, discovering things about each other, exploring different world views, and expanding their circles of friendship. The piece opens during International Women’s Day activities on Saturday and will be displayed at The Reach for two weeks, before moving to its permanent home at Abbotsford Community Services. Prospera Credit Union supported the cost of the project, which included having 540 two-inch silhouettes of people professionally laser cut out of black acrylic plastic.

More coverage. Better call quality. Couple films Faster data. pilot for home Lisa and Rob Brandsma have teamed up to film a teleSubmitted vision pilot, which will air this weekend.

reno show An Abbotsford husband and wife renovation team have filmed a pilot episode for a possible new series on HGTV (Home and Garden Television). The episode featuring Rob and Lisa Brandsma airs Saturday, March 5 at 8 p.m. and will be repeated on March 8, 11 and 12. The show, called Forever Home, was filmed last July in Abbotsford and involves the Brandsmas showing three potential homes to clients and having them pick one for the couple to renovate and make their “forever home.” If the pilot episode receives a good response, HGTV will give the green light to start filming a series. The venture began in January 2015, when Rob and Lisa were contacted by a production company from Toronto that was looking for a husband and wife renovation/design team for a show idea they wanted to pitch to HGTV (and other networks). The couple, who have three children, run Brandsma Reno and Designs, and the production company found them through an online search. After the Brandsmas sent some video of themselves and some interviews were conducted, the company compiled a short video clip – called a “sizzle reel” – which was pitched to HGTV Canada. HGTV liked it enough to fund the pilot episode. Rob and Lisa have been operating their renovation business since January 2010. They first met 16 years ago when they were both working at an Abbotsford restaurant. They bought their first house – a rancher – two weeks after getting engaged, and gutted it to make it more livable after they got married. They started flipping houses a few years later. “We would buy a house, live in it a few years, renovate and update it, and sell it and move into our next house,” Rob said. Rob’s background is in drafting and design, while Lisa has a passion for design, decor and painting. “Lisa was 12 when she selected the paint colour and painted her bedroom on her own,” Rob said. Lisa also runs a side business, TigerLily Furniture, and likes to hunt for vintage and antique items to restore, refurbish and resell at local markets. The couple said they are “thrilled and excited” to have filmed the pilot episode and the potential for it to become a series.

‘Canes win league title

BEN LYPKA Abbotsford News

The Pilots and the Outlaws are set to face off starting tonight (Friday) in round two of the PJHL playoffs.

The Abbotsford Magnuson Ford U13 Hurricanes girls soccer team is sitting pretty heading into the Coastal Cup final this weekend. The Hurricanes, playing in the BC Coastal Girls Soccer League, fin-

ished third overall out of 10 teams in the eastern division of regular season play earlier this year. In round robin league championship play, the girls played equal-standing teams

from the three other districts and rose to the challenge to finish first overall in round robin play. The Hurricanes ended the season with a 2-0 win over Langley and a 1-1 draw with Surrey

CONGRATULATIONS!

Pilots facing Outlaws in round two Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News

A familiar foe stands in the way of the Abbotsford Pilots in their quest for a Pacific Junior Hockey League championship. The Pilots learned on Saturday night that they will be matched up against their rival Mission City Outlaws in the Harold Brittain conference final, which gets underway on Friday night in Abbotsford. Abbotsford and Mission met six times in the regular season, with each team winning three. The Pilots will be well rested, having disposed of the Aldergrove Kodiaks in six games following a 5-1 win on Feb. 24. Abbotsford had strong opening-round performances from forwards Mitchell Plevy and Hayden Guilderson, along with defender Devon Becker, who all scored six points against the Kodiaks. Pilots forward Jackson Waniek

had a team-high four goals in the six-game series. The series kicks off in Abbotsford on Friday at 7:30 p.m., with game two at the Mission Leisure Centre on Saturday at 6:45 p.m. Game three will also be in Mission on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. Game four returns to Abbotsford, while games five and seven, if necessary, will be in Mission. The winner receives the Harold Brittain conference title, and will then play the winner of the Tom Shaw conference final, which pits the Delta Ice Hawks against the Grandview Steelers. Read the Abbotsford News online for more coverage of the series.

For the first time in school history, the Bateman Timberwolves can raise a basketball banner. The Timberwolves Grade 9 girls basketball team earned provincial glory in Kelowna on Sunday, beating the St. Thomas Aquinas Fighting Saints 46-44. Bateman opened the tournament with a 50-23 win over the Kelowna Christian Knights on Feb. 25, and wins over the Dr. Knox Falcons (59-53) and the Kelowna Lake Okanagan Cougars (43-40) on Saturday. Head coach Dan Village said it was a long process to build this team into champion calibre. “They were very successful in Grade 8 and we put together a spring and summer league team playing against girls from the year ahead,” he said. “Honestly, we got creamed some of the games but kept many competitive and the girls just got better and better. That experience against older girls paid off for us.” Bateman posted six wins and one loss in the regular season, and then went undefeated in nine playoff games in the

ication.” Over in Langley, a trio of local teams finished in the top 10 for the junior boys provincial tournament. The Yale Lions (eighth), MEI Eagles (ninth) and W.J. Mouat Hawks (10th) all capped off successful years on Tuesday. Yale’s Bradley Braich was on fire during the four-day tournament, setting a new five-game tournament record with 170 points. The Lions opened with a 68-42 win over Belmont on Saturday, and then beat Vancouver College 64-51 later that day. The Lions fell 63-54 to Handsworth on Sunday, and then lost 72-58 to St. George’s on Monday. The Lions ended the season on Tuesday with a 70-57 win over Argyle to place eighth. Braich was selected

to the tournament first team all-star team, while Yale’s Isiah Reimer was named to the third team all-star squad. MEI defeated Mouat 67-43 on Tuesday to earn ninth place overall. Grade 8 boys and girls provincials conclude this weekend in Pitt Meadows, with a number of Abbotsford teams participating. The AAA senior girls basketball tournament opened on Wednesday, and the Abbotsford Senior Panthers beat New Westminster 7161. They take on R.A. McMath in round two on Thursday night. Draws for the senior boys tournaments are expected to be released on Sunday, with games running from March 9 to 12 at the Langley Events Centre.

Village said players Kayla Wilford and Jayden Gill helped lead the team to success. Wilford earned most valuable player honours at the Fraser Valley’s, while Gill won several player of the game honours during the provincials and was a key defender for the team. “It’s awesome for the girls,” he said. “They’ve been together since Grade 6 and are all friends so it’s pretty special. They are a very coachable group. Many of these girls have other commitments like soccer or musical theatre, so for them to keep coming to practice shows their ded-

www.capitalcorefinancial.com “I had no idea my life would be impacted so profoundly”, recalls Marissa Cepelinski, an ultra runner and new board member of Run for Water. “I was holding this little girl’s hand in Ethiopia when it hit me that the money I raised was going to change her life forever.” Cepelinski had joined 15 other runners from the Lower Mainland on a trip to Ethiopia to visit the remote village of Hidri where they collectively raised more than $100,000 to dig a clean water well and a build a new school. Marissa first encountered Run for Water four years ago when a friend of hers invited her to run the 55km Ultra Marathon. This noncompetitive team event follows the trail system from Chilliwack to Abbotsford with the goal of raising money for clean water. “I have done many other running events but there is something unique about the Run for Water Ultra experience. It was my opportunity to combine my love for running with my passion to give back,” Cepelinski explains. Cepelinski, recalls of that life changing event, “when I was walking for water I stopped and looked at this girl and realized that for only $35 I could change her life forever and give her a chance through

education I knew right then that I had a responsibility to respond to what I had seen.” Marissa is the co-founder of Capital Core Financial and with a company goal to redirect one billion dollars from CRA towards the non-profit, she is on a mission to help people implement charitable giving into their financial plan. She is excited to raise thousands of dollars this year for clean water projects in Ethiopia. Marissa was asked to join the Run for Water board when she returned from the trip. “I feel so lucky to be working with an organization like Run for Water . I get to combine so many of my life passions.”

Quidditch flies into town Sport adapted from Harry Potter books lands locally Kier Junos Abbotsford News

A chaser throws the quaffle – a volleyball – for a score on Saturday during the Western regionals in Abbotsford. KIER JUNOS Abbotsford News

Mounted on a broomstick, the player runs upfield, poised to throw the ball they call the quaffle through the hoop-post for another ten points. But the beaters are quick with their defence, flanking their competitor like wildcats on a lone gazelle. “Bludger! Bludger!” yells a sidelined player in desperation, pointing out the red balls hoisted high in the beaters’ hands, aimed at their prey. It’s too late. In the original version of the sport being played last weekend at Abbotsford Senior Secondary, that

bludger would have dropped that player off their broom and crashing into the field. But in this real-life adaptation of Quidditch, the game from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books, it merely caused a turnover. The Western regional championships for the real-life adaptation of Quidditch, the wizarding world’s favourite sport, were held at Abbotsford Senior Secondary turf field on the weekend, featuring teams from Vancouver, Alberta, Victoria, Burnaby and Calgary. Quidditch players try to throw a quaffle, which is a volleyball, through any one of three hoops on poles on either side of the field for ten points a goal. The game ends after either team captures the golden snitch — which in the movies, is an evasive, walnut-sized ball with wings. Harry Potter’s first game saw him fly at incredible speeds around the pitch, capturing the snitch after a dramatic dogfight. The real-life version of the snitch is a person with a sock-wrapped tennis ball hanging from the back of their waistband, wrestling with seekers in a full-field game of keepaway. David Saient-Germaine from the Vancouver Vipertooths said the sport allows “you to come as you are,” and includes provisions for the number of people on field with the same gender. Though the sport started with Harry Potter fans, Saient-Germaine said many athletes are now coming to the sport and becoming Harry

Potter fans. “It’s not just Harry Potter to us,” said Fraser Duff from the Alberta Clippers. Abbotsford resident Benedict Reiners used to be the first captain for the Simon Fraser University (SFU) Marauders, who placed second to the Alberta Clippers. Since he had to commute to SFU all the time, Reiners – who has since retired his broom – wanted to be part of a community and he found that in Quidditch. “It’s a sport that’s open to everyone,” said Reiners. “We’ve got those people who have never played the sport before or read books before.” The Clippers celebrated their championship like any other sports team would, but Quidditch is still a fringe sport. Some teams did crowdfunding campaigns just to get to the western regionals. Some university teams aren’t allowed to use their campus fields to practice yet. The University of Victoria (UVic) Valkyries still practise on the lawn in front of their library. The Vipertooths, Valkyries, Marauders, Clippers and Calgary Mudbloods played in a full single round robin over two days followed by a championship final between the Marauders and Clippers. They beat SFU for first place, 60-40, earning the Clippers their second consecutive western championship. The Clippers now advance to the national championship in Kingston, Ont., this April.

Cascades set to battle with Manitoba The UFV Cascades menâ€™s basketball team is completely healthy, and will finally have all hands on deck for the start of the Canada West playoffs. The Cascades take on the University of Manitoba Bisons in a best-of-three series, which kicked off on Thursday night. The clubs also tangle on

Friday and, if necessary, on Sunday, with all games occurring in Winnipeg. Cascades head coach Adam Friesen said the team is confident heading into the postseason. â€œWe feel good, weâ€™re all healthy and I think the guys are really excited about that,â€? he said. UFV finished with a record of 12 wins and

eight losses, good for second place in the Explorer division, and had a week off last week. The break gave some time for the club to heal up. Cascades star Kevon Parchment has been the teamâ€™s constant this year, finishing in the top 10 in the conference in points, assists, rebounds and blocks. The Bisons finished

third in the Pioneer division at 15 wins and five losses, and have a number of offensive tools, including AJ Basi and Justus Alleyn, who both ranked in the top 20 in the conference in scoring. â€œWe might not be able to contain both of them,â€? Friesen said. â€œBut each night we want to make one of their lives

as difficult as possible. We need to stay close with them because they can both shoot and have deep range.â€? Friesen said giving them difficult looks from beyond the arc, and controlling defensive rebounds are the main keys to the series. The Explorer and Pioneer divisions donâ€™t have any schedule

crossover during the regular season, but the Cascades and Bisons did meet in the preseason. UFV prevailed 72-67 on Oct. 24 at the Lea Marc Printing Tournament, hosted by the University of Winnipeg. In other news, the UFV menâ€™s basketball program and Rising Stars Basketball Academy are teaming up to host a

pair of Spring Break basketball camps for boys and girls aged five to 12. The camps run March 14 to 17 and March 21 to 24, from 10 a.m. to noon each day, at UFVâ€™s Envision Athletic Centre. Cost for each camp is $50. The final sign-up session will be held at Harry Sayers Elementary from 5-8 p.m. on March 9.

ute freeway trip and almost 100 klicks and I was at 61-km range. Do the math! It’s magic! By the way, reaching 100 km/h reportedly takes just 8.4 seconds. I say reportedly because I didn’t have a stop watch. What I love about electric power is the Formula 1 start you can make at the lights if you are feeling naughty. Zero to 50 in just 2.6 secs. Yep, a family sedan that leaves the rest in its dust! Not that I’m encouraging such behavior, just saying. Of course, city stop-go traffic soon brings one down to earth and drains the battery but if you anticipate lights, smooth out the acceleration and make full use of the power regeneration when you brake or coast down hills, you can get back on the eco-track. Incidentally, you can set the amount of regeneration that suits your driving style. I charged overnight on a regular domestic garage power point. By morning it was at maximum range. You can cut that time in half and better with a charger designed to make maximum use of the power on tap. The Volt offers new standard and available safety features including a standard rear-vision camera, 10 standard air bags, including driver and front-passenger knee air bags. Also available as options are such active safety features as ‘lane keep’ assist with lane departure warning, side blind zone alert with lane change alert, rear cross traffic alert, forward collision alert with following distance indicator, front automatic braking, and

OBITUARIES

VANDERHAM Andy June 26, 1936 ~ February 17, 2016 On the morning of February 17th, 2016, Andy went to be with his Heavenly Father after a long history of health issues. Andy is survived by his loving wife Helen of 55 years, daughter Esther (Bill) Fietje, grandchildren Michelle (Kevin), Vanessa (Kenny), Joshua, Samantha, great grandchild Kenzie, his brother Jacques (Geke) Vanderham in Africa and many nieces and nephews. Pre-deceased by his son Eric Vanderham. Andy was born in the Netherlands and immigrated with his family to start a new adventure in Abbotsford in 1974. He was an honest, hardworking man that enjoyed his life to the fullest. He loved to paint, volunteer playing piano at different retirement homes, videoing church services to play at Ebenezer home, and taking drives with Helen through the beautiful country side. A celebration of Andy’s life will be held on Thursday, March 10th at Gateway Community Christian Reformed Church, 2884 Gladys Ave., Abbotsford, BC at 11:00 am. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

OBITUARIES

YOUR COMMUNITY,

Dearly missing the lofty mountains of Bavaria, Jutta motivated John to move to Abbotsford in 1963. They lived on a hobby farm while John continued in his trade.

It is with deep sadness that Lucille Thelma Layton (nee Montgomery) lost her valiant battle with cancer on Sunday, February 28 at Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission, BC. Lucille was a very vibrant and resilient lady. She was pre-deceased by her husband Donald Layton and was the mother of 3 sons, Robert, Donald and Roderick as well as 5 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. Her family and friends can all attest to her resilient nature and she will be sorely missed by all. There will be no service by request. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be encouraged and greatly appreciated in honor of Lucille.

Born November 22, 1926 in Beausejour, Manitoba, passed away March 1, 2016 in Mission, BC. He is survived by his loving family: wife Nellie; children Joanne Kennedy, Larry (Katrina), Darlene (Burton) Shewfelt and Neil; 7 grandchildren; 1 great grandson; sister Linda Quilty; nieces and nephews, other family members and friends. No service by request and ﬂowers are gratefully declined, instead consider a donation to the charity of your choice. Online condolences to the family may be made to:

Mount Baker was a prominent feature of the view from their home, and Jutta pursued her deep passion and fascination for the mountains, logging about 1,000 hikes throughout the Cascades and Chilliwack Valley. She formed the Fraser Valley Hikers some 40 years ago to share her experiences. She was a never-ending fountain of knowledge for every trail, every peak, and every alpine flower and other flora and fauna.

Walter Gordon (Porkchop)

A talented artist, Jutta reflected her love for mountains and other natural scenes in her oil paintings and sketches. She was the founder of the Abbotsford Palette Club in 1978. She also was a gifted knitter, and creator of traditional Bavarian handicrafts and artwork.

Jutta and John emigrated to eastern Canada in 1951. Having learned to weld in Germany, John was a dedicated provider while Jutta looked after their home. Their son Andrew was born in 1957 in Chicoutimi, Quebec.

LAYTON Lucille Thelma (nee Montgomery)

1926-2016

Jutta was one of the three children of Anton and Auguste (Kirchner) Babion. She was born Feb. 19, 1926 in Vienna, Austria where she lived until 1934, and then moved with her family to Germany.

EMPLOYMENT/EDUCATION

Jutta was an immensely devoted mother and wife, helping her husband with farm work, and taking her son on countless hikes and outdoor trips. She was loving, warm and wise, kind and generous, and a great cook. Any child would be truly blessed to have such a supportive, inspiring mom. Andrew became a photographer and journalist, starting his career at the Abbotsford News, and after many postings and adventures in the region and around the world, returned to The News in 2009 as editor, in part, to be closer to his mom. She was also a committed animal lover, enjoying and caring for numerous cats and dogs, many of them strays, during the farm years, and at their later retirement home in Abbotsford, where she continued to live after John passed away in October 2006. In lieu of flowers, donations will be much appreciated for the BCSPCA. Jutta is survived by her dear sister Nika, son Andrew, daughter-in-law Heidi and granddaughter Anna. She is predeceased by her brother Toni. Jutta will be remembered with the deepest love and greatest respect. As it was throughout her life, her uplifting spirit now has eternal freedom and joy among the soaring peaks. Please think of her when you gaze at the region’s highest mountains.

GILBERG January 12, 1938 ~ February 29, 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Walter Gordon Gilberg on February 29, 2016 at the age of 78. He passed peacefully, surrounded by his wife and children. He is predeceased by his father, mother and one sister. He leaves behind his wife Hazel of 56 years, three children, Deborah (Blair), Ronald (Vicki), and Susan (Brent), his grandchildren Jennifer (Jimmy), Nicole (Mark), Amanda, Yugin, one great grandchild Jackson, and one sister, Nadine (Fred). For those of you that knew Gordie you will understand that he wanted no service or Celebration of Life. He is now forever enjoying the Great Outdoors.

BATES Barbara Ethel Barbara Ethel Bates (nee Sparrow) aged 92 years, passed peacefully at Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission, BC on February 29th, 2016 with her family by her side. Nan will be lovingly remembered by her children Barry, Shirley (Ray Johnstone), Wendy (Tom Cassel), and Kelly; grandchildren Tracy, Fred, Cory (Yosuke), Christie (Ian), Chelsea, Robert (Jennifer), Michael, and Tyler; and great grandchildren Michael, Madison, Andrew, Mackenna, Rylie, Kylianne, Nolan, Kyeran, Noah, and Savannah. She was predeceased by her son James (1948). Barbara had many close and cherished friends whom she loved very much. A Celebration of Life will be held in May in Deroche where Barb lived with her family. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations can be made in Barbara’s name to the Mission Hospice Society.
