LIABILITY

Emmanuel Jal was just seven years old when he left his family, after his mother had been killed by soldiers, to join thousands of children travelling to Ethiopia to attend school.

Along the way, he was recruited by the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) and taken to a military camp – disguised as a school to fool international aid agencies and UN representatives – where he was trained as a soldier in the Second Sudanese Civil War. Jal then spent several years fighting with the SPLA in Ethiopia, witnessing and experiencing the worst atrocities imaginable before he was rescued.

“This is the lowest point I’ve ever been as a human being,” Jal told a crowd of local students who came to hear him speak on Wednesday during a presentation at the Abbotsford Arts Centre.

Jal, now a hip hop artist and political activist, shared his message of forgiveness and hope to a packed auditorium.

He was just a young child when the civil war reached his village, and his family was forced

I ate that crow from the and they ran out of

feathers to the intestine to the claws to the beak.”

Jal said more food – such as vultures and snails – appeared and fortified the children until they were rescued.

Of the approximately 300 children that had left together, only 16 had survived.

Jal, whose story is told in the book War Child, was rescued in Kenya, where he was able to attend school and learn to read and write. He also discovered a passion for music.

He has since released five studio albums, and his music has appeared

in music compilations, films and TV specials.

Jal is in demand as a public speaker and a political activist who has addressed the UN, the U.S. Congress, the G20 summit and the highest tiers of several governments.

He has also formed Gua Africa, a charity that works with individuals, families and communities to help them overcome the effects of war and poverty.

Besides building schools, the charity provides scholarships for Sudanese war survivors in refugee camps and sponsors education for children in the most deprived slum areas in Nairobi.

Jal told the Abbotsford students that he had to be able to forgive all those who had wronged him in the past in order to move forward in his life.

“My past is ugly. My past is painful. My past has taken away so much from me … but through the choices I have today I can paint the beautiful picture I want to see,” he said.

Jal’s appearance was presented by the Abbotsford school district’s International Baccalaureate Program.

Abbotsford Police Board Appointment The City of Abbotsford is seeking individuals who are interested in volunteering as a member of the Abbotsford Police Board.

Role of the Abbotsford Police Board The role of the Board is to establish the Abbotsford Police Department, and to provide general direction to this department, in accordance with relevant legislation and in response to community needs.

Municipal Police Boards are created independently from municipal councils and from the provincial government. This removes boards from partisan council and politics, as well as recognizes that both the municipality and the province have legitimate interests in municipal policing.

The Board is required under the Police Act, Part 5, s. 26(4), to determine the priorities, goals and objectives of the Department each year, in consultation with the Chief Constable.

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Responsibilities of the Police Board The Abbotsford Police Board is a statutory body created under the BC Police Act (S 23) and has the following governance and oversight functions: •

policy and direction setters;

financial overseers; and

•

disciplinary authorities for policy and service complaints with the Chair being responsible for discipline for the Chief and Deputy Chief Constables.

TYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News

A collision between an SUV and van Wednesday afternoon injured several people.

Governance refers to controlling and directing the making of policy. Oversight involves ensuring that legislated and mandated functions are carried out by the department.

20 TH ANNUAL

Eight people were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries following a two-car crash involving a stolen vehicle on Wednesday afternoon in Abbotsford.

The collision took place at about 4 p.m. in the intersection of Blueridge Drive and Goldfinch Street in west Abbotsford.

Abbotsford Police Sgt. Judy Bird said the stolen vehicle hit a Dodge minivan with several occupants, causing it to leave the road and come to rest in a nearby yard.

Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service had to use the Jaws of Life to extricate a trapped elderly passenger from the van.

The female driver of the stolen vehicle – a Suzuki SVU – fled the scene on foot immediately after the crash.

Officers found the 34-year-old woman shortly after and arrested her. Bird said the woman is a prohibited driver who is well-known to police.

The seven occupants of the van and the female suspect were transported by BC Ambulance to the hospital to be treated for their injuries.

Abbotsford Police collision reconstructionists were on the scene for several hours, and the investigation is continuing.

City politicians’ expenses rise Mayor attributes increase to ‘engaged’ new councillors Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

Abbotsford’s mayor and council received $34,345 in expense payouts in 2015, a figure 22 per cent higher than last year’s total, according to the 2015 Statement of Financial Information received by council Monday.

Mayor Henry Braun claimed the most expenses at $6,621, a figure that is in line with expenses accrued by previous mayors Bruce Banman and George Peary.

Coun. Brenda Falk accrued the second highest expenses, with $6,533 reported.

Braun attributed the rise to the new councillors voted in during the municipal election in the fall of 2014 choosing to attend inter-municipal conferences like those hosted by

The group will spend the coming months researching the issue, and will submit their recommendations to the city manager, who will present them to council in September.

The task force won’t be paid for their efforts, but will be entitled to “reimbursement of reasonable expenses.�

Growing trees for climate change Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views Disagreements persist on the extent of humanity’s role in the current changes to B.C.’s climate, and our ability to influence it, as many readers have told me in the past week.

But almost everyone seems to agree that growing more and healthier forests is a good strategy. I would add that harvesting and building with wood preserves its captured carbon, a fact not much discussed in emotional appeals against logging.

The B.C. government is finally spending some money on community fuel load removal projects this year, after an initial flurry following the Kelowna fires of 2003 faded in hard times. But the effects of decades of fire suppression in a fire-dependent forest system remain, as northern B.C. and Alberta are showing us again.

There is some positive news here. A

Victoria-based government research team has published a study that calculates B.C.’s pine beetle-damaged forests are regenerating more quickly than expected.

Warmer temperatures, increased precipitation and the “fertilizer effect” of more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are factors.

“By 2020, the enhanced growth due to climate change and increased CO2 more than compensates for the carbon loss from dead, rotting trees,” said lead researcher Vivek Arora of the Canadian Centre for Modeling and Analysis.

This recovery even overcomes the projected increase in forest fire loss that comes with gradually increasing temperatures.

The federal government is still working on its plan to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets agreed to in Paris last year. But the forest industry has stepped up with its own goal. I spoke last week with Derek Nighbor, president of the Forest Products Association of Canada, after he announced his industry’s “30 by 30 Climate Change Challenge.”

That’s a goal to reduce the industry’s net carbon emissions by 30 megatonnes a year by 2030. That would be 13 per cent of the

Canadian government emission target.

One of the main strategies is salvage harvesting and developing more products that use wood.

“In forest operations right now, this is where we see a big part of the opportunity.

Instead of the residual branches and whatnot just being left aside and slashing and

The government is finally spending some money on community fuel load removal burning, bring more of that out and turn it into something.”

That something might be a console in a luxury car constructed with wood fibre, or an 18-storey wood student residence building planned for the University of B.C. The other is improving forest growth.

Logging operations have long been required to replant areas they cut, not just in B.C. but across Canada.

Another way to improve forest carbon capture is with more productive species, with genetic techniques that increase resiliency as well as wood mass.

A background paper from the B.C. forests ministry responds to common misconceptions about forest carbon, including the idea that logging should be stopped to maximize storage.

“Maximizing carbon storage in the ecosystem would make sense only if society stopped building new homes, acquiring new furniture and consuming in general,” it says.

“If the flow of forest products stops, society will turn to other products with higher greenhouse gas footprints, e.g. plastics, metal or concrete. In addition, if harvesting stopped and we continued to suppress natural disturbances, there is increased potential for larger catastrophic disturbances in the future.”

If Canada wants to make a bigger contribution to reducing greenhouse gases, forests are a good area to focus on. At 348 million hectares from the B.C. coast to Newfoundland, they represent nine per cent of the world’s forests. tfletcher@blackpress.ca 34375 Gladys Ave., Abbotsford, B.C. V2S 2H5

Friends and family of those affected in Fort McMurray will be collecting donations this weekend in Abbotsford to ship to Northern Alberta to help evacuees.

A charity drive supported by Casey Transport, which has donated a 53foot trailer, and Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service will take place Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the parking lot next to Finnegan’s Pub, at 33780 King Rd., near the Abbotsford Centre.

Items will be sent to a local charity that is accepting a variety of goods for evacuees.

Items needed include new clothing: sweatpants, T-shifts, pyjamas, bathrobes, socks, underwear and undershits.

Wrapped pillows, reusable cloth shopping bags, bottled water, juice boxes, new toys and pet food is also needed.

Playing hundreds of sold out live shows, the ABBA tribute band ARRIVAL has a sound and stage show has been honed and fine tuned to such a degree that they have many times actually been mistaken for the real ABBA! You will always find the crowd singing along with all of ABBA’s famous and well known tunes during ARRIVAL’s exciting high energy live stage show!

That’s because every song on ARRIVAL’s roster was a number one ABBA hit, and ARRIVAL delivers with such incredible and enjoyable authenticity, you feel that you are actually witnessing ABBA in Concert!

Mac with incredible authenticity. This is definitely a show you won’t want to miss.

Formed in 2005, this group of talented, diverse performers came together with a passion for the music, and a desire to take the ‘Tribute Act’ genre to another level. When you sit back and reminisce about the 70’s & 80’s music, one of the top bands to grace the charts was Fleetwood Mac. The cast of Dreams takes great pride being able to replicate the Fleetwood Mac sound so closely that it’s difficult to tell the difference. Get going and get grooving to Dreams!

The Phonix is a 9-piece Canadian funk, soul and R&B party band from Vancouver BC. Since forming in June 2009, the Phonix has performed at nearly 400 weddings, events and festivals. They are a staple in the diets of thousands of funk-loving Vancouverites as they diligently fulfill their role as house band at the Arts Club’s Backstage Lounge. If it’s funky and will make you dance, the Phonix want to play it! All 9 of them share a love for the likes of James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Earth Wind and Fire.

Regional event held at University of Fraser Valley The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) was home to the 19th annual Fraser Valley Regional Heritage Fair on April 28 and 29.

This year’s fair was a collaboration between the staff of MSA Museum and The Reach Gallery Museum working with the team at UFV. Following a First Nations drum anthem, the fair was opened by Dr. Mark Evered, president and vice chancellor of UFV. Coun. Patricia Ross brought greetings from the City of Abbotsford, and trustee Phil Anderson from the school district.

More than 100 students participated in representing their schools and districts at the regional level. The program included heritage activities and campus tours.

Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas opened the awards ceremony on April 29, when students were awarded plaques and certificates.

The next event is the BC Heritage Fair taking place July 4 to 8 at the Point Grey campus of the University of B.C.

“Some people are getting excited because they’re seeing this increase, which is happening basically on a weekly basis, if you think about it,” said Robby Toor, a personal account manager at Envision Financial’s Town Centre branch.

“A lot of people have this thing in their heads … that [the market] is never going to come down.” That’s not necessarily true, Toor warned, and interest rates, too, could rise and squeeze homeowners who have over-extended themselves.

That’s not to say that money can’t be made, but Toor and his counterparts at other financial institutions say long-term planning is the key.

At Prospera Credit Union, vice-president of personal banking Dan Whalley says clients have been looking to access equity for a range of regions, from home renovations to debt consolidation to money for their children seeking homes.

In such cases, Whalley said advisers ask clients: “Is the reason they’re looking to access those funds to help improve their overall position?”

If the money can be used to increase their long-term financial outlook, Whalley said accessing that equity can be beneficial. But the possibility of a market slow-down or interest rate hike mean homeowners shouldn’t limit out their resources.

And homeowners should be especially wary of using that equity – which is long-term debt – for ever-present temptations like holidays or toys like motorcycles, ATVs or boats.

Kshitij Bhupendra, bank manager at Scotiabank’s Abbotsford Banking Centre, said homeowners shouldn’t allow themselves to “be swayed by the market.”

“People never want to miss out on the market, and sometimes they’ll make a purchase expecting the market to go up.”

Three charged in relation to violent attack Three Mission residents have been charged in relation to a violent incident in March that saw two men suffer injuries.

Just before midnight on March 30, Mission RCMP were called to the 33800 block of Dlugosh Avenue.

Police located a 25-year-old Abbotsford man and a 33-year-old Mission man both suffering from non-life threatening injuries. The two men had been assaulted by several suspects with a crowbar and possibly an axe.

Police have now arrested 23-year-old Michael

Jared Johnson and 24-year-old Julie Marilyn Kimber and charged them both with two counts of aggravated assault and robbery and one count each of theft of a motor vehicle, possession of a prohibited firearm, production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Kimber also faces one charge of uttering threats.

A third suspect, Joseph Ronald Kellington, 23, has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault and robbery and one count of theft of a motor vehicle.

The W.J. Mouat Secondary athletics department has been named a recipient of a 2016 Promising Practices award from Character.org.

In January 2014, the department held its first athletics forum.

Bringing together all 200-plus student-athletes and coaches, a discussion was held to determine what it meant to be a Mouat “Hawk.”

Coaches, including a group of former Mouat student-athletes themselves, talked about the impact that Hawks athletics programs had on their life.

Current student-athletes then discussed what should be expected of themselves and of their teammates.

From this data, a smaller group of student-athletes worked to develop the Hawk Athletics Charter.

Prior to each season of play, participating student-athletes take part in a charter signing ceremony.

These opportunities are taken to intentionally reinforce the expectations and high standards that their teammates, coaches, school, and community hold for them.

The department has continued to hold an annual athletics forum.

In 2015, Jesse Miller, a respected expert on social media, presented on “Social Media and the Student Athlete.” This year, Justin Abdou, head coach of the Simon Fraser University wrestling program, provided an inspirational talk on the value of getting involved and fighting

New fire halls may need art Policy requires one per cent of funding to go to projects Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service may have contravened the city’s public art policy, Coun. Dave Loewen suggested Monday.

In 2011, the city adopted a policy that would see one per cent of the budget of each new capital project, up to $300,000, set aside for public art displays at new facilities.

The policy, along with projects that stemmed from it, was reviewed for council Monday, and prompted Loewen to ask whether the newly built Mt. Lehman and Matsqui fire halls have any public art.

Fire Chief Don Beer said no art had been included in the projects. A request for proposals had been issued, he said, but only one response was received, and it was not appropriate.

Instead, the money had been set aside in a fund for other projects.

Loewen, though, noted: “The policy says the new art will be applied to that specific project … so if we apply that elsewhere we may be in contravention of our own policy.”

He suggested staff take a second look at the policy to ensure it is being followed.

Loewen also asked about art at the city’s new turf fields, near Mouat secondary. Heidi Enns, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture, said the banners, design of the pathways and plaza, and the facade of stairways were considered public art in accordance with the bylaw.

Two new fire halls in Abbotsford, including Hall 5, were built without a public art component, as dictated by city policy.

Local Guides help refugee families

LEASE FROM ***

The Girl Guides organization is offering support for refugee families settling in Abbotsford through donations of cash and household items.

In partnership with Abbotsford Community Services (ACS), the 3rd and 4th Abbotsford Guides chose to support 22 families in the community as part of a global community service project.

There are 162 refugees currently in Abbotsford, with 100 of them being children.

Products donated to meet basic needs included kitchenware, toiletries, bedding and linens.

Local businesses also provided donations, including dental care products from Clayburn Dental and a $250 cash donation from Prospera Credit Union.

Colleen McFadden, 3rd Abbotsford Guides leader, said more activities are being planned, including a guiding night with some of the families and ongoing bottle drives with a goal to raise another $600 in donations.

DOWNTOWN Berrybeat Festival is sure to have you dancing in the streets with some of these fantastic bands on stage this year. July 9th and 10th we will have Arrival, Dreams and The Phonix ARRIVAL, the Official ABBA Tribute Band, a grooving tribute to Abba. Playing hundreds of sold out live shows, the ABBA tribute band ARRIVAL has a sound and stage show has been honed and fine tuned to such a degree that they have many times actually been mistaken for the real ABBA! You will always find the crowd singing along with all of ABBA’s famous and well known tunes during ARRIVAL’s exciting high energy live stage show!

That’s because every song on ARRIVAL’s roster was a number one ABBA hit, and ARRIVAL delivers with such incredible and enjoyable authenticity, you feel that you are actually witnessing ABBA in Concert!

Dreams - the Ultimate tribute to Fleetwood Mac, From the music to the costumes, Dreams portrays Fleetwood

Tina Stewart Executive Director, ADBA

Mac with incredible authenticity. This is definitely a show you won’t want to miss.

Formed in 2005, this group of talented, diverse performers came together with a passion for the music, and a desire to take the ‘Tribute Act’ genre to another level. When you sit back and reminisce about the 70’s & 80’s music, one of the top bands to grace the charts was Fleetwood Mac. The cast of Dreams takes great pride being able to replicate the Fleetwood Mac sound so closely that it’s difficult to tell the difference. Get going and get grooving to Dreams!

The Phonix is a 9-piece Canadian funk, soul and R&B party band from Vancouver BC. Since forming in June 2009, the Phonix has performed at nearly 400 weddings, events and festivals. They are a staple in the diets of thousands of funk-loving Vancouverites as they diligently fulfill their role as house band at the Arts Club’s Backstage Lounge. If it’s funky and will make you dance, the Phonix want to play it! All 9 of them share a love for the likes of James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Earth Wind and Fire.

High school rugby teams continue title quests Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News

A pair of local high school rugby teams kept their provincial hopes alive on Monday.

The Robert Bateman Timberwolves and the Abbotsford Secondary Panthers advanced to the Fraser Valley Tier 1 AA Senior boys rugby semi-finals, both with wins at home.

Bateman jumped out to an early lead against Langley’s D.W. Poppy Secondary, and held on for the 26-24 win at Exhibition Park.

The Panthers followed suit, with a 44-21

win over Surrey’s Southridge Secondary at the Abbotsford Secondary turf field.

The teams continued their playoff runs on Thursday, with Abbotsford travelling to Chilliwack to take on the G.W. Graham Grizzlies, and Bateman hitting the road to meet Langley Secondary School. Results were not available at press time for the games.

If successful, the teams move on to the Fraser Valley championship at Rotary Stadium on May 19 at 3:15 p.m. The losing teams in the semi-final will play in the third-place game on May 17.

Que Question of the week…

Big and bulky looks of new Cadillac XT5 designed to deceive

‘‘

’’

you’re ever in the area.

A new Caddy always comes packed with new technology and the XT5 doesn’t disappoint, especially if you splurge for a higher trim version. Even the basic goodie package includes Wi-Fi hot spot, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a hands-free liftgate. LED headlights, a head-up display, and advanced safety technologies such as adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist are also available.

Unique new tech includes Cadillac’s patented Rear Camera Mirror, which enhances a driver’s rear vision by 300 per cent. A video display, applied over the conventional inside rearview mirror, streams an unobstructed wide-angle view of what’s going on behind. An AJAC Best New Safety Technology winner, it helps solve a driver vision issue that plagues many modern high back design vehicles.

The advanced “twin clutch” all-wheel drive system is now capable of transferring up to 100 percent of available torque to either the front or rear axle and/or to either rear wheel, via an electronically controlled rear differential. There’s also a new driver-controlled “disconnect” feature that disables the rear drive unit.

Improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions are the benefits of operating in this front-drive mode.

Canadian prices for a Cadillac XT5 will start at $45,100 (FWD) and $52,120 for the all-wheel-drive editions. Expected city/highway fuel economy ratings for FWD editions are 12.1/8.6 L/100km and 12.9/8.9 L/100km for AWD editions and an XT5 runs fine on regular gasoline.

Cadillac now benchmarks its products against prestige European autos. Do you believe the current model line-up place the luxury marque an equal footing with the likes of BMW, Mercedes and Audi?

Safety Tip: High-risk driving behaviour, such as speeding, increases your chances of crashing. Almost half of all crashes that result in injury or death involve high-risk driving. Slow down and give yourself extra time to get to your destination so you don’t feel the need to rush.

Audi teams up with Marvel’s Captain America Coupe supercar.

“We’re always trying to ride the line in these movies between something that is set in our real, present day world, but at the same time feels special and forward thinking - just a little out of reach. So to be able to work with a company like Audi and have access to their current models and their most advanced designs, it helps us strike that right balance between real world and the future.” says Anthony Russo, who directed the film along with his brother Joe Russo.

Ken

Thomas Frank

With heavy hearts, the family of Kenneth Gordon Pasaluko announces his unexpected passing at 77 years of age.

Ken was born in Pine Falls, Manitoba. Predeceased by wife Adele and Kevin. Survived by twin sisters Merle and Marilyn (Terry), nieces Charlene and Leah (Michel) and nephew Dan. Ken had a passion for Ukrainian kielbasa sausage, Harley Davidsons and classic cars. In fact, he drove his 1929 Dodge, 1963 Pontiac Parisienne and his vintage Harley across Canada twice.

Ken was a welder by profession and had a knack for inventing gadgets. Last year he proudly received his gold watch for 60 years as a member of The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, June 3 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm at The Fraternal Order of Eagles Hall, 33868 Essendene Ave., Abbotsford, BC. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Ken’s memory to the Lung Association would be appreciated.

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Thomas Frank Kosiancic. Born September 1, 1931 in Rossland, BC he took his final bus ride to the heavens on April 17, 2016. He lived in Crescent Valley until 1964, then moved to North Vancouver until 1993, then moved to Bradner, BC. He was loved and respected by many, and leaves behind his wife of 62 years Marjorie Hazel Kosiancic, nee Doerksen, their five children and spouses; Raazahn/Darleen (Larry), Sharon (Norman), Rodney (Hilary), Janice (Gerry), Kevin (Lynda), 11 grandchildren and 10 3/4 (still baking) great grandchildren. His accomplishments were many.

He had a distinguished career as a Greyhound bus driver that spanned 32 years. He will be remembered for his kindness, his sense of humour and his courage that was prevalent till the very end. He was the smartest man we all new. He could build anything. If he could not fix it, then it wasn’t fixable! Good bye Tom / Dad / Grandpa, you will be missed, we all Love You. Celebration of Life to be held on May 29th from 1:00 to 5:00 at The Fort Langley Golf Course, 9782 McKinnon Crescent, Langley, BC.

It’s “ Been a Wonderful Life! ” Ruby Hilja Kandal

PHILIPPSEN Irene Sarah (Wedel) June 22, 1928 ~ May 9, 2016 ...She is worth more than rubies....

Her children arise and call her blessed. (Proverbs 31)

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of the dearest and sweetest person in our world.

Ruby was born on October 1, 1929 in Medicine Hat. She was the eldest of Timothy and Hilja Enno’s six children. Although this Estonian family was poor financially, they were rich in song, dance, play and care of each other. Ruby had many happy childhood memories. One night, after working at her job at the Red Deer radio station, Ruby went to a military dance.

It was there that she caught the eye of a brash airman who swept her off her feet.

Four months later Dave Kandal and his forever sweetheart were married. It was the best rash decision that the usually over-cautious Ruby ever made. They had five fortunate children who grew up in a loving but firm environment. Ruby also delighted in cossetting and spending time with her 12 grandchildren. The 1 1/2 great- grandchildren will miss out on the indulgent Mrs. Santa.

The family traveled a lot and Ruby especially adored the heat of the tropics. We will always think of her when we see her favourite turquoise blue colour or eat Chinese food — and sushi! Ruby considered herself a lucky lady and was continually grateful for it. But we were the lucky ones.

Thank you to the nurses, doctors, and staff of both the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and the Holmberg House for their compassionate care of Ruby. A truly beautiful soul left this world on May 4, 2016. A joint private service will be held upon her devoted husband’s death.

Dave and his “Rosie” know through their shared strong Christian faith that they will be reunited. Ruby’s longheld desire is to have her ashes spread over the majestic Mt.Baker — her favourite view from Abbotsford.

After a sudden and brief illness Irene Sarah Philippsen passed away while peacefully asleep.

Her charm, creativity, sense of humour and gentle spirit endeared her to others all her life, even during her final days in hospital and hospice. An enthusiastic singer, artisan and skilled painter, Irene forever missed her fellow artists in the Comox Valley’s Monday Bunch after moving from Black Creek, BC to Abbotsford. Irene is mourned by her family: Lynda Philippsen, Laurence and Lorraine Philippsen, Norman Philippsen and Kellie Hudson, Carl and Tanya Philippsen, Aaron and Christina Philippsen, Albert Wedel, Walter and Elfrieda Philippsen, Ken and Erika (Philippsen) Pleasance as well as grand-dog Lucy. Her many friends at Evergreen Village, former “Black Creekers,” and Clearbrook MB Church sorely feel her absence, too. She is predeceased by her beloved husband Alvin Philippsen as well as sisters Margaret Wedel, Mary Van Bergen and Elizabeth (Betty) Peters. A Memorial Service and tea will be held on Saturday, May 28 at Clearbrook Mennonite Brethren Church beginning at 1:00 pm. Online condolences to the family may be made to:

OBITUARIES

HANS ABMA 1935-2016

We are sad to announce the passing of Hans Kenneth Abma on May 3, 2016. He died peacefully, surrounded by family after battling many years with Parkinsonism.

Husband to Catherine May Abma (Turley) and father to Murray Abma (Carol), Marilyn Loewen (Stan), and Jennifer Abma (Kyle), Father-in-law to Debbie Abma. Proud grandfather to Rachel, Bekah, Andrew, Nate, Kyra, Kaylea, Abby and Liam.

Our dad was a man who dedicated his life to serving others. He was born on Dec 23,1935 in Hartwerd, Friesland (the Netherlands). He immigrated in 1952 at the age of 17 after growing up during the war where his father played an active role in the Resistance Movement. After completing his Bachelors in Theology at Toronto Bible College in 1964, he was ordained as a minister, and began pastoring two small churches in Corunna and Wilkesport, just outside of Sarnia, Ont. In 1972 he packed up the family to take on full time leadership of Bethany Baptist Church in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., where he served for 10 years. He then was involved in ministry at Forward Baptist Church in Cambridge, Ont for another nine years. The call to B.C. came in 1992, and he started a Christian counseling service in Abbotsford, touching the lives of many along the way. He always believed in people’s abilities to change their lives for the better --even those in prison-- and often refused payment for his services. One of his favourite activities in his later years was to visit Mill Lake and run into people with whom he’d worked or helped along the way. He also looked forward to his meetings with the Saturday morning men’s breakfast group. The men, including Paul Beatch, were a great source of strength to him in his final years. God provided many other amazing people who have supported mom and dad in their journey over the last few years. We want to thank all of the wonderful staff at Tabor Home for their kindness and support.

Dad, your Lord and Saviour calls you home with open arms after a lifetime of service. May you find peace in His embrace!

BARB SCHIMNOWSKY

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD

MAYOR HENRY BRAUN On behalf of the Abbotsford Police Board, I am pleased to present the Abbotsford Police Department’s 2015 Annual Report to the residents of Abbotsford. This report highlights the focus and accomplishments of the APD over the past year and outlines our objectives for 2016.

The Abbotsford Police Board serves to provide independent civilian oversight

and governance of the Abbotsford Police Department to ensure measurable progress towards a safer community. As Board Chair, I feel very privileged to be working alongside the Abbotsford Police Department, Chief Constable Bob Rich and all of the Abbotsford Police Board members. I have seen firsthand the incredible commitment of the members of our Police Department as well as their in-depth knowledge of the

needs of our community and the issues it faces regarding crime prevention and safety. Our police force – sworn officers and civilian staff – work hard every day to tackle crime and to create a safe community. And they do so with integrity, compassion, a strong sense of purpose and a drive for constant improvement.

I would also like to thank the members

of the Abbotsford Police Board for their continued commitment to the residents of Abbotsford and for their direction as we move into 2016. I look forward to working with Board members again this year in providing support and oversight as our dedicated Police Department works to make Abbotsford the safest city in BC, while providing accountable police service that is deserving of respect throughout our community.

MESSAGE FROM CHIEF CONSTABLE BOB RICH 2015 presented several challenges for the men and women of the APD. Our job is to make the community safe. Simple to say; but sometimes very hard to do.

Gang violence and property crime both substantially increased last year. We have had to devote resources to both to suppress the violence and find a way to reduce the level of property crime. Unfortunately, both problems revolve around illicit drugs. Our gang violence occurs as rival gangs fight for market share as they traffic in drugs. The primary reason someone breaks into a house or steals a car is to get money to

MESSAGE FROM DEPUTY CHIEF DAVE SCHMIRLER Fraser Valley East jurisdictions including Abbotsford experienced an increase in property crime rates in 2014 and this trend continued through 2015. Property crime offenders travelling across jurisdictional boundaries to commit crimes presented an additional challenge to police.

Internally, APD sought to improve the organization’s wellness and be more strategic in using resources. To remain cost effective, new methods of delivering service to the community were developed by considering what functions could be reduced or shared with other service providers.

To reduce overall police resourcing in handling calls for service involving the mentally ill, the department committed a full time APD member to the Fraser Health ACT Team (Assertive Community Health team).

For 2016 APD finds itself aggressively recruiting the next generation of Police Officers.

buy drugs to feed their habit. This past year heroin and fentanyl have become much more available on the street and have sadly led to many overdose deaths.

All of the above means that the focus in 2016 is for us to find a way to end this round of gang violence and reduce property crime. Abbotsford is a wonderful community full of caring people. We will continue to work with our partners so Abbotsford is a place where our seniors are safe, our families can thrive and our children flourish.

MESSAGE FROM DEPUTY CHIEF MIKE SERR After a twenty-six year career with the Vancouver Police Department I was proud to join the Abbotsford Police Department in November 2015. As the Deputy Chief of the Administration Division I identified several priorities to address. First, policing is a challenging and stressful occupation and the wellness of all APD staff has been identified as an organizational priority. Strategies have been initiated to support our staff’s mental and physical wellbeing. Second, we need to remain fiscally responsible, while at the same time not compromising our service to the community. We also need to consider options for a new police building. We understand this is a long term initiative; however, it is important to start planning now. Finally, the APD currently has several police vacancies and we are committed to hiring dynamic women and men who will bring energy and commitment to our team.

How to Improve Your Cyber Security and Stay Safe Online

Technology has forever changed the way we live our lives. But as much as technology has made life easier in many ways, it has also made us increasingly vulnerable to criminals.

Utilize computer viruses, keystroke logging programs and spyware to invade innocent people’s privacy, potentially stealing sensitive personal information in an effort to commit fraud. But much like street crime can be thwarted, cyber crimes are often preventable as well, especially when we take precautionary steps to reduce our risk of identity theft and other cyber crimes.

• Set strong passwords and never use the same password for multiple accounts. When setting a password, make sure it does not contain personal information that criminals can easily access through public records or other accessible avenues. Make sure to periodically change passwords.

• Update your software. Software updates may seem like a nuisance, but updating software, especially antivirus and anti-sypware, can protect you and anyone using your com-

puter from cyber criminals. In addition, when installing security updates, these programs will typically scan your computer for any suspect programs or threats since your most recent install, removing any programs deemed suspicious. Software updates might just be your best line of defense against cyber criminals.

• Close old accounts you no longer use. Unused accounts can be used by cyber criminals to open lines of credit in your name. In fact, many people don’t realize they’re victims of such crimes until they apply for new credit and are turned down because of unpaid debts they never even knew had been accrued. Close any accounts you no longer use and confirm they are officially closed before forgetting about them.

• Never open unknown attachments or click on unknown links. Doing so can put your personal information at risk, as such actions might be triggering the installation of viruses or spyware on your computer, tablet or smartphone.

If you don’t recognize a link or aren’t expecting any email attachments, ignore them.

Fraser Valley Fire Protection Ltd. With thanks to the Abbotsford Police Department for all that they do to keep our community safe.

Protect Your Home While Traveling Many families travel during the summer, heading to the beach, cottage, lake or campground for some well deserved rest and relaxation.

Alarm systems and neighborhood watch programs can provide some peace of mind to homeowners, but there are additional ways to protect your home when traveling.

• Use timers to make it appear as though you are home. Criminals are likely to be deterred from burglarizing homes that are well-lit, and noise inside the home can give burglars the impression that someone is inside. Use the timing device on your entertainment or sound system to play music at night, and make sure lights come on at the same time and stay on until the time you would ordinarily go to bed.

• Don’t allow mail or newspapers to stockpile at your front door or in your mailbox. A mailbox overflowing with mail indicates to burglars that you’re not home and also makes you vulnerable to potential identity thieves looking to peruse your mailbox for sensitive information.

Whether you suspend delivery while you’re away or ask a neighbor to pick up your items each day, make sure nothing is accumulated in your mailbox while you are out of town.

• Install motion detecting lights around your property. Such devices will immediately illuminate yards or areas around the home when movement is detected within their range.

Lights flashing in the dark of night can deter burglars and may even earn homeowners discounts on their insurance policies.

• Be cautious with social media. When leaving home for an extended holiday vacation, do not broadcast your plans on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Though you might be tempted to post photos of you and your family sitting poolside with grandma and grandpa, wait until you return from your trip to share such photos.

Travel is commonplace during the summer.

Homeowners must take steps to protect their homes while they are away on vacation or visiting family and friends.

We Salute the Abbotsford Police Department!

Thank you to Chief Bob Rich, Deputy Chiefs Dave Schmirler and Mike Serr, and all of our police officers for the leading edge policing that keeps our community safe for all citizens.

Mobile phones are ingrained in our everyday lives. As billions of people use them to talk, download data or send text messages, new concerns have arisen. Users should consider the following guidelines.

DO be accessible, but filter phone usage.

Keep the phone at a low volume or on vibrate.

DON’T keep your phone out on a table or in plain sight.

DO use a phone that supports key features like encryption and password protection. Mobile phones are mini-computers, making users susceptible to identity theft.

DON’T reveal personal information while talking on a phone. Very often people raise their voices when talking on a mobile phone, and others can overhear the conversation.

DO recognize phones come equipped with global positioning systems that could compromise your privacy. Read the manual to learn about such features.

DON’T assume you have any privacy with a mobile phone. Calls can be tracked, as can text messages.

DO respect others’ privacy. Do not take pictures of others and post them online without permission.

DON’T use your phone while driving for any reason. Laws are evolving to increase consequences for distracted driving. If you cannot ignore your phone, leave it in the back seat, or even in the trunk of your car until you arrive at your destination.

Mobile phones have certainly changed the way people communicate. But even as mobile phones evolve, there remains certain rules of usage to make cell phone use safer and more people-friendly.
