IHIT here on heels of ‘capital’ claim

Criminologist says numbers misleading CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

O

ne day before a possible homicide occurred, Abbotsford was given the dubious distinction of being named Canada’s murder capital for the second consecutive year.

Numbers released by Statistics Canada on Tuesday showed the Abbotsford-Mission Metropolitan Census Area had the highest homicide rate per capita in the country for 2009 at 5.2 per 100,000 people, which didn’t come as a surprise to the Abbotsford Police Department.

“We kind of knew this was going to happen,” APD Const. Ian MacDonald said.

“A lot of the comments that we made even in 2009 were indicative of the fact that we were, in advance, preparing ourselves for the fact the numbers as they related to homicides were not going to be favourable for us.” see CAPITAL, page A5

Mission man’s death deemed a homicide CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

H

omicide investigators have determined Mission resident Trevor Ronald Sanderson was murdered late last month after originally announcing his death as “suspicious”.

On June 28 at 11:11 p.m., Mission RCMP responded to an emergency call at a rural house Sanderson rented in the 30700 block of Keystone Avenue. Sanderson was found dead inside the home.

The Mission RCMP Serious

Crime section was called to the scene, as was the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, after it was determined foul play had been involved.

Cpl. Dale Carr, spokesman for IHIT, told the AbbotsfordMission Times Wednesday the murder was a targeted hit and that, despite not being previously known to police, Sanderson, 38, was involved in illegal drug activity.

“Based on evidence we found at the property, we discovered Mr. Sanderson was involved in the drug trade, specifically the marijuana trade,” said Carr.

The cause of the death was not released.

The news comes on the heels of numbers released Tuesday by Statistics Canada stating the Abbotsford-Mis-

sion Metropolis Census Area had the highest murder rate per capita in Canada for 2009.

It is the second year in a row the area has been given this distinction.

Car pieces were scattered, a 10-foot section of the pole lay across the road and wires were everywhere, said Vince.

He and witnesses who had seen the actual crash were in shock, he said.

“It was carnage,” he said. “It’s so sad, it’s pretty tragic.”

BURN, from page A1

‘Only a handful of people support it’

The waste committee’s recommendation to approve the plan to build the controversial $470-million incinerator in the Lower Mainland will go to vote of the full Metro Regional District board on June 30.

Its proponents, such as Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, said the incinerator was the most logical alternative to landfills.

“The garbage was created here and we need to find a solution right here to deal with it,” he said. The incinerator was recommended to take the 500,000 tonnes of garbage that is now trucked to the Cache Creek

dump each year. The burner would also create electricity for Metro Vancouver regional communities.

But those opposed to waste incineration, such as the FVRD, fear it will also create unknown cocktails of pollution that could be carried on the wind up the funnel-shaped Fraser Valley.

Ross says with the overwhelming opposition to the waste burner idea, she’s surprised the committee still supports it.

“When you think about it, it’s only a small handful of people who do support it,” she said.

CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com oses and loving remembrances mark the place where the lives of two young men ended in a violent car crash on North Railway Street in downtown Mission last Friday night.

While police are not releasing their names, notes and cards at the poignant memorial identify them as Steve Kristiansen, 22, and Kaleb Jack, 21. Both are from Mission.

Police did say the driver turned 22 the day of the crash.

Kristiansen was a 2007 honours grad from Mission Secondary School.

“You were such a great friend and everyone loved you with your great personality and great smile,” says one message to Kristiansen.

To Jack, who graduated from Hatzic Secondary in 2007, “You were such a friend wrote: “I will great friend and every- another never forget singing with you one loved you with at the top of our lungs with the your great personality music so loud we couldn’t hear ourselves.” and great smile.”

Photos and farewells are taped up beside the torn siding.

Mission RCMP Cpl. Sharon Siluch said “speed was definitely a factor.” The investigation into the crash continues.

Phil Vince, owner of the Claim to Frame art shop on First Avenue, said he had stepped out on to the back deck of his business to make a phone call that night sometime after 10 p.m., when he heard the squealing of wheels and the crunch of metal. The transformer on the power pole exploded and the area went dark, he said. Vince took a flashlight into the

22-year-old Surrey man died after falling from slippery rocks above Cascade Falls late Monday afternoon, in a popular recreation area about 20 kilometres northeast of Mission.

Mission RCMP, search and rescue, swift water rescue and paramedics and flight paramedics responded to a call from Cascade Falls Regional Park at about 4:30 p.m.

A friend had tried to find the man in the water, but his efforts were hampered by the strong undercurrents of the mountain creek and its cold water, police said.

Rescue teams were able to get the man out of the water but resuscitation attempts failed and he was declared dead about an hour later.

A friend of the victim told police the man had been walking along the rocks before he fell into the water and didn’t surface, according to Mission RCMP Cpl. Sharon Siluch.

“His friend tried to help him out, but the current was too swift,” Siluch said.

No name has been released.

members consider the opposition and concerns raised when they vote on the waste management plan on July 30.

If they approve the incinerator, the waste plan then goes to the Ministry of Environment for approval.

The proposed incinerator would burn some of the 500,000 tonnes of garbage that is now trucked to the Cache Creek landfill each year.

Metro Vancouver produces about 1.4 million tonnes of garbage a year.

Metro’s solid waste management plan also aims to recycle 70 per cent of its trash by 2015, compared to the 55 per cent rate today.

Thief had eye on optical store Police looking for brazen bandit CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

T

he Abbotsford Police Department is looking for a suspect they say carried out a mid-afternoon robbery at a local optical store and made off with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of eyeglasses.

The robbery took place around 3:15 p.m. Tuesday when a man entered the store in the 2700 block of Gladwin Road.

The robber displayed a gun from the waistband of his pants and then made off with two bags full of eyeglasses.

The man was last seen heading south on Gladwin Road, said police.

The investigation continues and has been taken over by the APD major crime unit, said Const. Ian MacDonald.

Investigators have spent the past couple of days canvassing the surrounding area looking for tips, but are now looking for surveillance from neighbouring businesses.

MacDonald warned that if the individual’s motivation is to sell the glasses illegally, it might work against him.

“I don’t know that you’re easily going to be able to get rid of hundreds of pairs of glasses without being conspicuous in doing that,” he said.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, 5’8” tall and 160 pounds.

He was wearing a dark coloured baseball cap, a red bandana around his neck.

He also wore black mirrored sunglasses, a longsleeved grey or bluish shirt, blue jeans and gloves.

Anyone with specific information on this robbery is asked to call 604-859-5225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Anomaly year CAPITAL, from page A1 But the homicide numbers are met with skepticism by criminologists and local politicians.

“It makes a good headline, but there’s no substance to it at all,” said John Martin, a criminology professor at the University of the Fraser Valley.

Martin said the number of murders released by Stats Can doesn’t include cities or towns with populations of

less than 100,000 residents.

“If you did that, Abbotsford wouldn’t even be in the top 10,” he said.

Mission Mayor James Atebe was also critical of the statistics. He said both Mission and Abbotsford have been cast in a negative light because of “a few bad apples.”

“I think the people who are shot and killed were not ordinary citizens, people who are going on living and enjoying the quality of life in our communities,” Atebe said.

“My sense is these people involved in organized crime .

. . the police are doing everything, to combat them.”

Most of the nine murders committed in the Abbotsford-Mission area last year occurred in Abbotsford.

But Atebe said there is no ill will when it comes to the two communities being connected on this topic.

So far in 2010, the homicide rate in both communities appears to be down.

Abbotsford recorded one homicide this year, as has Mission.

inder dry forests and a prolonged dry spell has led to the prohibition of any open burning in the Coastal section of B.C. until further notice, said the Ministry of Forests and Range.

The ban officially takes place today at noon and includes campfires, fireworks, tiki torches and burning barrels.

However camp stoves, propane campfires and briquettes are allowed.

Weeks of warm temperatures and sunny skies have dried out many of B.C.’s parks and forests, which prompted the Coastal Fire Centre to issue the ban.

The fire rating in Abbotsford and most of the Fraser Valley is listed as ‘High,’ while some parts of the province have hit ‘Extreme.’

“It’s a little more toward moderate up the Fraser Valley, but that’s just because you got a little bit of moisture come in [Tuesday] evening,” said Donna MacPherson, fire information officer for the Coastal Fire Centre.

“But that’s not going to take long to dry out.”

That’s because meteorologists are predicting the warm, dry weather will stick around for the next 10 days at least.

A mid-summer shower was expected in Abbotsford last

The Coastal Fire Centre banned all open burning as of Friday due to ‘high’ fire risk. night, but Environment Canada is forecasting nothing but sun and temperatures in the upper 20s Celsius until Tuesday.

Despite the ban on open fires in the Coastal section of B.C., people still need to be careful when they are out, said MacPherson.

Cigarette butts thrown to the side of the road by motorists have caused a number of forest fires in B.C., but she also mentioned the use of ATV’s and other outdoor vehicles as potential fire starters in the woods.

“We’re asking everybody to be very careful in any forested land,” said MacPherson.

“Cigarette butts . . . throwing them out the window rather than extinguish them in some kind of a container is irresponsible especially given how dry it is right now and how easily it would be for a fire to start.”

But unlike last year, prop a n e c a m p f i re s w i l l b e allowed this year.

small forest fire that flared up Tuesday near a lookout area above the hamlet of Deroche, east of Mission, may have been smouldering in thick dry moss for a day or more, said North Fraser Fire Chief Rick Dekker.

“We can’t find any sign of a camp fire. We’re thinking somebody was there and a left a cigarette butt up there,” he said.

The smouldering moss had dropped off a steep rock face onto trees and debris below.

Thick smoke was spotted on the densely forested hillside and reported at noon on Tuesday.

Volunteer fire crews raced up to the rocky bluff, but when they weren’t able to reach the burn, Dekker called in the forestry service. A helicopter scooped water from the nearby Nicomen Slough, and a crew of 20 forestry firefighters helped smother the fire on the rough terrain.

North Fraser volunteers cleaned up the rest of the fire, which never got larger than about half a hectare, said Dekker.

Along with the coastal fire ban, the District of Mission will not be issuing any backyard fire permits for the summer due to dry conditions.

A light rain fell in Deroche Thursday morning.

“I hope we get at least two inches. The crops need it,” said Dekker.

bbotsford police are treating the death of an Abbotsford woman discovered Wednesday night as “suspicious.”

Police responded to a call at 7 p.m. Wednesday after the body of a 34-year-old woman was discovered inside a suite at a residence in the 32000 block of Austin Avenue.

“I would emphasize that we are dealing with a suspicious death,” said APD spokesman Const. Ian MacDonald Thursday morning.

“We are not in a position at this point that we can conclude we’re dealing with a

Chris Perrie rents a basement suite two houses down and said he didn’t hear anything until about 6 p.m. when fire trucks showed up at the residence, along with ambulances and police cars.

“I came out. I didn’t know what was going on,” Perrie said Thursday.

He and his family have lived on Austin for about a year and he said the street is fairly quiet, with kids out and about playing.

He said he never saw anything strange, “just people coming and going” at the resi-

An autopsy should be conducted in the next 24 hours.

“That may provide us with some additional answers,” said MacDonald.

The name of the woman has not been released. Although this case has not been determined a homicide, the reputation of the Abbotsford-Mission Metropolis Census Area has taken another hit this week.

The area was named Canada’s murder capital for the second straight year on Tuesday with a murder rate per capita of 5.2 for every 100,000 residents.

So far in 2010, Abbotsford and Mission have recorded just one murder each, pending this latest investigation.

dence, which is now under yellow police tape.

Investigators spent the evening gathering evidence and conducting interviews. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken over control of the investigation.

MacDonald said the woman had “very little contact with police,” and her death was not related to drug or gang activity.

Although he could not go into details about what made the death of the woman suspicious, MacDonald did say she did not die from a gunshot wound.

Smoking out real politico BBQs P

olitical pundits typically refer to the summer months as the “barbecue season.” This is in reference to politicians touring the land and taking their turns flipping burgers and wieners at fairs, rodeos, picnics and other community gatherings where they attempt to press the flesh and show how down to earth they are.

Almost every serving politician of every party engages in this long established summertime ritual. But the combination of barbecue and politicking is hardly a Canadian original. It’s as American a tradition as . . . well, as barbecue.

George Washington wrote of his attendance at barbecue events as early as 1770. Horseshoes were thrown, pigs were slow smoked, and there was music and dancing.

It was the most efficient way to meet people and make connections. In 1793, Washington’s team served a 500-pound barbecued ox at the nation’s capital.

Supporters, detractors and the undecided lined up for blocks.

Barbecue has long been an essential component of U.S. electioneering. Presidents, senators, governors and a host of others have long relied on the lure of slow cooked ribs and hickory smoke in the air to rally the base.

Lyndon Baines Johnson was so famous for having hosted so many star spangled barbecues that his personal BBQ caterer

JOHN MARTIN

Crime matters published The LBJ Barbecue Cookbook.

Jimmy Carter brought a good old-fashioned Georgia whole hog barbecue with him wherever the campaign trail led.

Both the Bush presidents hosted annual congressional barbecues during their terms in office.

When George W. was first elected to the White House, he hired the owner of Cooper’s Old Time Pit Barbecue in Texas to cater his victory celebration.

When Barack Obama was campaigning to be the Democrat nominee, his team made a point of dropping in on some of the most revered BBQ joints in the country, including one of my very favourites, The Iron Works in Austin.

Barbecue, politics and campaigning have essentially been inseparable for hundreds of years and it’s a tradition and strategy that has reaped many a dividend.

Canadian political strategists have long looked to the U.S. for campaign lessons; though some will defiantly deny doing

so. The summertime barbecue meet and greet, is one of the very best tricks of the trade, so it stands to reason it has been a fixture in this country for many years.

So I ask, why not do it up proper? Instead of flipping premade, frozen patties with the artificial grill marks painted on them, why not serve up real barbecue? I’ve been to my share of political events in the summer months that indicated the word “BBQ” on the invite.

But thus far, I have yet to see anything even resembling actual barbecue. Sorry folks, but processed patties and hot dogs aren’t going to do the trick.

There is something almost sacrilegious about taking such a time-honoured tradition and turning it into a junk food parody of what it should be.

The political barbecue connection is all about showing how real and genuine the candidate is. These events are an opportunity to meet the person, not the manufactured, public image. So if genuineness is what these gatherings are after, let’s have some genuine barbecue served up. Ribs, brisket, sausage coils and pulled pork sandwiches.

Or should that be pulled pork-barrel sandwiches?

ummer is upon us and, sadly, so is the season of senseless sadness.

Whether the warm weather brings out the worst in some people, or quite often the worst luck in others, this month has been especially tragic for an alarming number of local families.

Lives young and old were lost this week, stretching from the tragedy surrounding hard-working 87-year-old farmer James McDonald, who died in a terrible tractor accident, to the heart-wrenching and avoidable deaths of two young Mission men, killed in a downtown motor vehicle accident.

Two other young people passed away in separate water-related incidents recently, one at Hatzic Lake and the other at Cascade Falls.

In instances which seem far less accidental, another pair of people lost their lives in our region recently. RCMP have declared the death of a Mission man in his rural residence as a homicide, while at press time a group of Integrated Homicide Investigation Team members were combing through a home on Abbotsford’s Austin Avenue after a 34-year-old woman’s body was found – possibly the victim of foul play.

Our hearts go out to the families touched by this alarming list of casualties. At the same time, we hope parents and friends take heed and do their part to avoid more stories of death from filling our pages.

As a general statement of safety, and without casting opinion on the details surrounding any of the tragedies above, please take the time to keep loved ones safe this summer.

Wear PFDs on the water. Talk with your kids about the perils of dangerous driving. Don’t drink and get behind the wheel of any kind of vehicle.

Always consider consequences to life and limb.

More importantly, think about the incredible grief suffered by those left behind.

saving the city or tax payers any money.

I garden for enjoyment and exercise and am more than willing to abide by watering restrictions like those in place last year.

One would think the problem can’t be that serious or someone with intelligence at City Hall would make sure that the water issue is dealt with immediately, not in five years!

Certainly we would not be handing out building permits like parking tickets since we can’t handle the stress on our water system as it is now. Surely someone could have come up with a better idea than a total ban.

May I suggest that our council members hold a meeting in the new, cool arena this summer and come up with a solution to this water problem, soon, not in five years. Look around: trees are dying and lawns look horrible. This town is a fire hazard!

Tamra Barney Abbotsford

B.C. should share as Abby’s murder capital Editor, the Times:

Statistics Canada may name Abbotsford as Canada’s murder capital, however the entire province must share this honour.

Why, you ask?

Essentially because provincial anti-crime initiatives have failed. There are more illegal drugs and

weapons on the streets, more gang members, and less convictions with less individuals behind bars.

All the money thrown at special units such as antigang units, etc, have little to show for the multi-millions of dollars spent each year. Maybe it is time for a different approach, and with that new leadership.

Politicians and police – the blind leading the blind – both practise politics, yet neither possess good crime policies.

The key policy question concerns the best approach to combat crime.

B.C.’s drug crime rates – which have consistently been the highest in Canada since the 1980s – have generally increased due largely to a spiking in possession of cannabis offenses.

Isn’t it time to decriminalize weed? Like online gambling and alcohol, the government could generate billions, redirecting resources to fight addictions, which will end the drug trade. Enforcement’s focus would change, and B.C. would make substantial gains against crime. As it stands now: – B.C. has the highest rates of drug crime and property crime in the country.

– B.C. taxpayers continue to fund government and police initiatives, not because of their success, but rather because of their failure.

Look deeper and find plenty to do here Editor, the Times:

It seems boredom is in the eyes/brain of the beholder (Dearth deters potential resident, Times, July 20)!

I am so sorry that neither you nor your Winnipeg friend knew how to search for information on fascinating places to visit in Abbotsford and the surrounding area.

The very first places you should have checked were the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce and the Abbotsford public libraries (www.fvrl.bc.ca).

You would be amazed at how much a public librarian can help you find information.

As for Vancouver, did you and your friend actually miss the majestic totem poles and fascinating art at the Museum of Anthropology on the campus of the University of British Columbia?

And while on the UBC campus, you could have visited the UBC Botanical Gardens, including their medicinal herb garden and their canopy walkways.

Also in Vancouver, you could have visited both the Bill Reid Art Gallery and the Vancouver Art Gallery.

As for Abbotsford, remember it’s a city driven by agriculture.

Had you glanced through the free publication Farm Fresh Reference Guide (www.farmfresh. com), you would have seen descriptions of 20 Abbotsford and Matsqui farms offering everything from homemade jams to

ethically-raised chickens, beef, pork, as well as berries and vegetables.

But the jewel you missed is your neighbour Mission.

Be sure to take in the Mission Folk Festival starting this Friday.

While in Dewdney, you can also visit an old-fashioned general store, and a pub in a former church.

If anyone in your family likes fishing, be sure to stop at Karl Eha’s Trout Creek Farm, call him at 1604-826-5640.

You catch your own, and there are facilities for cooking and eating.

Make sure that one of your trips between Mission and Abbotsford is via the Lougheed Highway.

That way, you can also see Sonya and Raymond Barkers’ crop tunnels at Silverhill Orchard.

The turn-off is in Silverdale from the Lougheed Highway: Call them at l604-820-7957.

While in Mission, be sure to visit some of our

heritage sites – www.heritagemission.ca.

Do not miss the Stave Falls Power House and the Mission Museum. The latter is a 100-year-old former Bank of Commerce building.

Mission is full of creative musicians, writers, artists, publishers, farmers, and gardeners.

If you decide to come, welcome!

I’d like to address the issue of the complete lawn watering ban in our beautiful green city. Is it really fair that a few people should decide for the rest of us that a brown, crispy lawn is where we should enjoy our summer barbecues?

Starting early in the spring I work hard in my garden planting flowers and preparing my lawn for the summer so that my family can enjoy our short summer season. My hobby is gardening and I take great pride in the results that come from all my hard work.

To ensure that my garden stays lovely and to conserve water, I paid over $5,000 to put in an irrigation system to save water and time, about $300 for the weed man, $250 per month for a gardener to cut my lawns.

Not only was this all a waste of time and money, these jobs are now obsolete.

I cannot understand why a city council would be thinking of “smart meters” and more city workers (water police) driving around to catch violators (gardening criminals), spending tax-payer money before upgrading the water system, which is so very important.

Why are these funds not directed towards expanding the delivery system?

Do the council members think that the landscaper/ gardener who now is out of work for the summer or the irrigation companies whose services are now pointless will relax by attending events at the new arena now that they are struggling to make living?

Having all these people out of work is certainly not

It’s time to be conscious of your solution P

roverbs 3:5-6 tells us to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on to your own understanding. In all your ways put God first and He will crown your efforts with success.”

I used to think that this verse meant that if I wanted to be successful in life, I was to trust in God and not think or use common sense. Yet questions kept coming to me like: “If God gave me a mind, does He not expect me to use it? Is it sin to do what I think is right? Is it not God’s will for me to act with common sense? Is my mind the enemy of God? As I contemplated the answers to these questions I realized that for many years I had been living in a mental fog.

I had been ignoring what I knew to do. God is not against common sense. Living a successful life involves doing my part

ALICE MARYNIUK

Above and beyond and trusting the Lord to do His. I use to believe that if I ignored my pain that it would disappear.

I did not want to consciously think about areas of my life that were dysfunctional.

Being passive in my thinking was a way to forget the painful areas of my life.

But what I needed was to pay attention and face the music.

Instead of ignoring and neglecting my problems, I needed to be more solution-conscious and deal with it.

I didn’t realize that I do not have to like what I see, but I do need to recognize what is, is,

and what is not, is not. Seeking awareness, understanding, knowledge and clarity about the circumstances that surround me can bring answers and solutions that I need to hear.

Oftentimes I did not live in the moment and I was not present to what I was doing.

I would be pre-occupied with thoughts of being somewhere else. Painful experiences that I would not admit had kept me blocked and stuck in my pain. I needed to become conscious of knowing if “where I am” was congruent with my goals.

Did I have an action plan or was I just hoping things will change for the better?

Was the way I was investing my time, money and energy in harmony with my purpose in life?

I began to search for feedback from my environment so that I could adjust or correct my course when necessary. If I see that what

I am doing is not working, I need to try something else. I need to stop operating mechanically and start acting consciously.

“Lean not to your own understanding” doesn’t mean that I don’t need God. It means that I work together with Him. It’s important to have a clear understanding of our part and God’s part. God gave us a mind to use.

We need to be open to new solutions.

As the old saying goes, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

When I fight a block it grows stronger, but when I acknowledge, experience and accept it, it begins to melt away.

I use to believe that I could be careless with my life, lazy and passive, expecting someone else to bail me out. I thought that if things got bad enough someone would come to my rescue.

I didn’t understand that God wanted me to be responsible for my life.

I needed to accept where I was in life, and accept who I was, before I could change. I cannot overcome a fear whose reality I deny. I cannot change traits I insist I do not have. It is not acceptance but denial that leaves me stuck. Being real about where I am in life enables me to move on.

I must accept the things I cannot change and change the things I can. Praying to God often leads to being obedient. God is waiting for us to do our part.

Which areas in your life have you neglected that need your time and attention? Today is the day to be solution-conscious.

What does it take to forgive?

I

n Matthew 6:15, Jesus told us “If you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

During World War II, Corrie Ten Boom and her sister Betsie were sent to a German concentration camp for concealing Jews. Because of the cruel treatment, Betsie died a slow, terrible death.

Many years later, in 1947, Corrie was speaking about God’s forgiveness to a church in Munich, Germany.

A man sought her out afterward. Corrie immediately recognized him as one of the German guards who had mistreated her and her sister. The man told her that he had become a Christian.

He extended his hand, and asked her to forgive him.

Corrie really struggled with her feelings, but she knew that she had to forgive him. She silently

would correct their ways. However, we know that because of the evil committed by our first ancestors and passed on to us, society doesn’t operate that way.

The wicked would completely overpower decent, law-abiding citizens without the restraining power of the police.

Jesus does not want us to let the desire to get even dominate our lives. Instead, we should be governed by the principles of giving and forgiveness. Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, we can do just that.

The best way to get even is to forgive as you have been forgiven.

FRED MOORE

Faith that matters prayed, “Jesus, help me!” and clasped the hand of her former enemy.

Someone has well said, “Forgiveness is not a case of forgetting that wipes out the past.

Instead, it is the exercise of healing that drains the poison from the wound.”

Leo Tolstoy, the Russian writer is another who has misinterpreted Jesus’ words. His theory was that we should be completely nonresistant when people hurt us or steal from us.

He theorized that the wicked would soon be so ashamed they

anneken Fros, a missionary to children suffering with AIDS in Africa, will speak in Abbotsford and Mission on Aug. 8 and Aug. 9 about her experiences.

Fros began working with orphans and the poor in Mozambique in 1997, and since 2001 she has been a missionary in Dondo, 20 miles outside of Beira.

The focus of Fros’ ministry is to care for orphans and widows in distress, to help the poor, to evangelize and to develop churches, train pastors and to make the world a better place to live.

Due to poverty, war, disease, AIDS and natural disasters, Mozambique has approximately one million orphans.

Fros partners with an indigenous African church, the Mountain of Praise Church of Mozambique, which develops cottage industries and farming projects.

The aim in orphan care, said Fros, is to promote personal dignity by facilitating self-sufficiency without creating dependency, and to train Mozambique’s future leaders. There are now about 250 Mountain of Praise churches in Africa, each with many orphans and widows. Born and raised on a Hutterite colony in Paraguay, Fros’ family later moved to England and the United States. She also spent several years in Israel working with handicapped children.

Fros will at the Zion Christian Fellowship Church, 32995 Second Ave., Mission, Aug. 8 at 10:30 a.m., at the Greendale Mennonite Community Church, at 6550 Sumas Prairie Rd., Chilliwack, with the Holy Mountain Romanian Church, also Aug. 8 at 5 p.m., and on Aug. 9 at 7 p.m., at Oak Hurst Park hall, 32959 George Ferguson Way, Abbotsford.

town.

The Jam in Jubilee is a homegrown affair that features a series of lively young musicians, whose work reflects some of the diversity in Abbotsford’s musical tastes.

The free al fresco concerts are also a great way to get to know new talents this town produces.

Concerts are on every Thursday at 7 p.m., in the city’s Jubilee Park, b e t we e n Mc Ca l l u m a n d Pa u l i n e streets.

Popular new wave dance band You Say Party is one of the featured groups next week. See this talented group in its new incarnation before it heads off on a European tour this fall.

Those who go will also see classic rock artist Roger Potter, who’s known locally for his faithful tributes to Neil Young, and who also runs open mic stages in the community (currently at the Dewdney Pub in Mission.)

Also performing is Old Mare, an alternative country band rooted in the rich soils of Sumas Prairie, with

FESTIVAL FRENCH CONNECTION

“tales of love and love lost, God and the devil, blood spilled and tears shed, gambling, booze, cigarettes, long stares into horizons soaked in memories,” and all that great hokey country stuff.

Shows continue with alternative folk artists Joel Willoughby & the Pilgrims, rockers Harma White on Aug. 5, and Josh Hyslop, (acoustic folk), Young Liars (electro pop) and Oh No! Yoko (indie pop rock) on Aug. 12.

The downtown business association began the series six years ago, but it’s now run by the Atangard Project Society, a group of young adults intent on reviving the downtown community.

T h e p a r k’s h a d a b a d n a m e i n recent years, but Jam organizers want people to “have good feelings about the park,” said Dan Bryce,with the Atangard group.

So far, the shows have attracted more than 300 listeners a night and a happy ambience, he said.

The shows are by donation. Have dinner downtown, and then wander to the park. Bring a lawn chair or picnic blanket, and come early to browse the small art market. ◗ For sneak previews, dates of performances, and to leave comments, go to jaminjubilee.com The site has lots of links to performers and their music on YouTube, Facebook and their own websites.

See you in the park.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Major shifts are occurring in your life, in career, status, relationships and in yourself. You’re ready to make a big leap for freedom, yet there’s nowhere to land except in the area of duty, restriction and slow effort. Muffled anger might exist in a relationship. Best approach: use that urge toward freedom to seek philosophical learning or more education, or to expand socially and/or internationally. View all relationships and prospects not as escape, but as ambition’s ground. E.g., form a career partnership. Be prepared to change, go slow and exercise diplomacy. August accents negotiations.

Call Leigh Turnbull 604-530-4111 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Cancer June 21-July 22: A gigantic shift peaks this summer (it began in 2008, lasts ultimately to 2024) in your relationships, career and home. You should see plenty of evidence of these forces of change this week and next. My advice is simple: be flexible, willing, eager to join forces, diplomatic, honest and loving. Then what can go permanently wrong?

Nothing. You might have to deal with: A stubborn yet persuasive partner (or an almost too-alluring person!).

Muffled anger in the home. A possible break-up.

Unpredictable, yet unexpectedly lucky situations in your career, prestige realms or business.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Major changes began about two years ago, intensified the last few months, and peak this week and next. (With variations through the years ahead.) The present peak brings in new elements, people and situations. Expect stresses/ changes in home, security, property, all relationships, contracts, litigation, partnerships, relocation prospects and in yourself. You are now determined to enter a relationship only if it grants you security.

This can cause a “muddying” effect. Amazing, bright, friendly, lucky, unexpected (and perhaps short-lived) relationships will arise – for seven years!

Taurus April 20-May 20: A major change is already underway. (It started last spring, but peaks now and lasts into 2011.) It affects your work, duty and intellectual spheres. These include such things as cultural events, love, international travel, publishing, higher learning, health, machinery/tools, employment/ employees, government, institutional, administrative, spiritual and charity areas. Your life will never be the same! But these are not painful nor “crisis” changes – you’ll do fine! My best advice: turn a challenge into success, but don’t get caught in an unfixable situation/project. August holds a major task.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: This summer’s massive changes and stresses don’t hit you as directly as some, Leo. But the slow changes that has been building for two years peak this week and next in your work, health, machinery-related, communications, legal, educational, travelling, cultural, love, philosophical and intellectual spheres. (DON’T drive recklessly!)

A letter could reveal a lawsuit, or an email could light your heart with love. Job changes might occur – but the more obvious changes are in intellectual, friendship and travel zones. Old methods will be abandoned; new ones will form (slowly, in some cases).

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Be ambitious. Many stresses and changes exist around you, but they affect others more directly; they could even create openings and opportunities for you to move forward.

(Money-wise Sunday/Monday, socially Thursday.)

These undergo flux: work, employment, machinery, duties toward children, management, corporate and government“organizationcharts,”institutions,spiritual and charitable interests. All these changes turn on the fulcrum of (or affect) your ability to communicate or travel. (E.g., changes “on high” might change who you communicate with, the style of report.)

Gemini May 21-June 20: It started in late 2008, intensified this spring, and peaks all summer: a series of major shifts in your sexual, financial, investment, health, romantic, creative, sports, speculation, childoriented and social spheres. Never again will these be the same – improvement’s slated! You might begin a deeply intimate relationship with someone quite conservative or of a different generation. You might completely switch your financial structure. A new creativity can be sparked, but it is a slow, deep one, no overnight successes here. Be close to Aries and Libra friends; they might need you.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Big financial, lifestyle and/ or sexual changes are imminent. They won’t surprise, as life has “telegraphed” them to you for almost two years (and some have already occurred). View these changes as a varying landscape on a road that is primarily successful, creative, loving and fruitful.

Still, challenges exist. A new, restrictive note quietly creeps into your earnings outlook for two years, so be conservative in spending. You might invest in your earnings sphere – e.g., buy equipment. Go slow.

Investments are both unpredictable and lucky – sex, too! Surprising revelations come here and there!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Big changes occur this summer in three areas of your life: the romantic, creative, pleasure and child-oriented sphere, the social, entertainment and “future dreams” area, and in your earnings/possessions zone. Generally, your social drives, optimism and love of fun will “rule,” whereas money necessities “out-power” your romantic and creative drives. You’re lucky predawn Monday, and you clearly see money/domestic matters late Thursday. You might need to figure out some ethical, friendship or love matter Sunday/ Monday. A month of travel, culture, love and learning lies ahead!

CLASSI FI ED

July 25 - 31 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: You’re in the power seat, but that doesn’t mean things will be easy. This week and next are the peak of a long change. This change has different levels – some are deep, inner, sexual, psychological, investment-oriented, and can change your whole lifestyle. Other changes occur in career, ambition and prestige dealings. You might break from a former career, association, or direction, and assume a new one. Realize a higher-up might be repressing anger. A potentially very lucky change arrives in your domestic sphere: now, soon, or February to June 2011. Treat aches, pains seriously.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Relationships come front and centre through the weeks ahead.Your sensual side has been very “awake” recently, but now the accent shifts to meaning, love, morals, communication, travel and mental links. You love these things, breezy mental interplay, ideals, meanings. This summer forces you, probably through a relationship, to rediscover and rebuild your morals and ideals, perhaps against a background of secret desires or fears. E.g., an attraction could make you question your loyalty. Or old “fibs” return to play the music you have to face. But this week proves you’re lucky, too!

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Lie low, rest Sunday to Tuesday. Your energy surges Wednesday/Thursday.

Focus on money, earnings and spending Friday/ Saturday. The weeks ahead emphasize work, health, dependents and machinery. A “prime” change brews in your health, sexual and financial spheres.

(Financial: the price of groceries to your paycheque to investments/debt.) The change is deep and seminal – it starts a new future. These areas will definitely impact your plans for your future – and your plans will affect them. Expect luck, struggle, obstacles and opportunity. A relationship grows “talkative.” timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Rugby 7s tourney kicks off

Last year was good, this year promises to be even better CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

W

aisale Tikoisolomoni Serevi isn’t the loudest person in the world, but the fact he’s attending this year’s Abbotsford Rugby Sevens tournament is making a lot of noise.

Media hype has picked up with this year’s tournament and festivities are set to go Saturday and Sunday at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford, and the star of the show, Serevi, has been at the epicentre of excitement for the last several weeks.

Known in his homeland of Fiji as Tukuni, or ‘Legend,’ Serevi

was on hand to sign autographs at Wings Tap and Grill in Abbotsford Tuesday night.

It was his first time in B.C. His arrival last week has jump-started the enthusiasm level, said Abbotsford Rugby Sevens director of public relations Summer Dhillon.

“The event is taking off really nicely,” she said on Tuesday.

“It’s been taken to a whole new level now that Serevi has arrived . . . it’s just last minute attention. We’ve been creating hype along the way but now it’s coming together.”

Media attention regarding the event has stretched as far east as Ontario as teams from all over the world, including Kenya and Fiji, have arrived in Abbotsford to participate.

And with the chaos surrounding the final few days leading up to the event, Dhillon remains optimistic the show will go on as planned.

“We’re on schedule, surprisingly,” she said. “It always works out in the end, but I suspect it will get busier.”

Last year’s tournament was considered a huge success by the organizing group of the Abbotsford Rugby Sevens.

Blistering hot sunshine was met with a refreshing summer downpour, the rugby was fast, furious and entertaining, the food was good and the atmosphere was even livelier, said Dhillon.

The team from Kenya won last year’s tournament, but it was that nation’s fans who stole the show with their authentic

African culture and laid-back, fun attitude.

With several add-ons from last year’s showcase, this year looks to be even better, she added.

A Russell Brewing beer garden, which will seat up to 500 people, has been set up and ticket sales for the weekend event are expected to at least double last year’s total of 2,000.

One of the reasons why ticket sales are high has to do with the weather.

Lots of sun and warm temperatures are expected this weekend in Abbotsford.

Dhillon couldn’t give an exact number on ticket sales, but she said it is “doing really well.”

“Where we are now, we expected to be in year five,” she said.

“Because there’s nothing else like it in Canada, all the people that have come together have brought it to this place . . . and this has raised the profile of rugby altogether.”

Gates will open both days at 9 a.m. The first game begins Saturday at 9 a.m. as well.

There are still tickets available. For more information check out www.abbotsfordsevens.com.

Tickets can also be purchased online at www.vtixonline. com, and at the Abbotsford Visitor Centre (34561 Delair Road at Sumas Way, Abbotsford).

One-day tickets purchased at the gate are $20 per person, or a weekend pass (two days) for one person can be bought for $25.

Up-and-down round for Taylor at Canadian Open Nick Taylor started the 2010 Canadian Open at the St. George’s Golf and Country Club in Toronto with an upand-down opening round on Thursday.

The Abbotsford golfing sensation eagled the first hole, bogeyed the second, and finished birdie, birdie, bogey, birdie and bogey to close out his round at oneover par (71), good enough to put him into a tie for 107th in the field of 156 as of the

Times’ afternoon deadline.

His round also included a double bogey.

Taylor is one of 18 Canadians competing at this year’s tournament, the 101st edition of the Canadian Open.

His best ever finish at a Canadian Open was in 2008 when he tied for 53rd.

Taylor was named the 2010 Ben Hogan Award winner.

Heat’s leading playoff scorer re-signs with Flames

Brett Sutter eyes a spot in the NHL CAM TUCKER Camtuckertimes@gmail.com

B

rett Sutter has had a busy summer, but he can rest a little easier now.

The Abbotsford Heat’s leading scorer in the 2010 Calder Cup playoffs re-signed with the Calgary Flames Tuesday with a one-year, two-way deal after what he called a “drawnout process.”

“It feels real good,” Sutter, 23, said from Calgary. “It was more just trying to settle on a number that both sides were happy with and something that would give me a chance

organization – majority of the Sutter family runs the Flames’ hockey operations – it’s easy to assume Sutter was given preferential treatment during contract talks, but in fact it was just the opposite, he said.

“For me it’s not really any different,” he said about negotiating his contract with family.

“I didn’t talk to the team at all, I went through my agent 100 per cent and he did all the talking to Calgary.”

Sutter’s chances of making the NHL have increased over the past couple of months.

He suited up for 10 games with the big club last season, but his stock rose when he was returned to the Heat for the playoffs once the Flames season came to an end.

Sutter, a sixth-round draft pick of the Flames back in 2005, put up 11 points in 13 playoff games – even with a separated shoulder

– as the Heat made it to Game 6 of the AHL North Division final against the Hamilton Bulldogs.

“I gave the shoulder a rest at the end of the season and slowly started bringing the strength back,” said Sutter.

With his shoulder fully healed, Sutter has his eyes set on the NHL. “That’s what I’m working for,” he said.

“But at the same time, there are spots there and a lot of guys pushing for those spots so it’s really who best prepares themselves this summer to go in there and take a spot from another guy.”

The Flames also recently announced the signings of five Heat players in the past week.

Defencemen Matt Pelech and Gordie Baldwin re-signed, as did forwards Kris Chucko, Gaelan Patterson and J.D. Watt.

Perkins 11th at Jr. Worlds

Abbotsford Collegiate quarterback Carson Williams threw seven completions on 14 passing attempts for 130 yards and one touchdown as the Under-18 Team B.C. football team pulverized the host team from Nova Scotia 38-3 in the Football Canada Cup bronze medal game.

Williams hooked up with W.J. Mouat wide receiver Desmond Bassi on a 10-yard strike for his only touchdown completion of the game.

That opened the scoring, and Team B.C. didn’t stop from there. Mouat pivot Cam Bedore also acquitted himself well in the bronze game, scampering into the end zone for an eightyard touchdown to seal things in the fourth quarter.

Kicker Nick Naylor, another W.J. Mouat player, rounded out the scoring with an 11-yard field goal.

“This bronze medal victory is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all the players, the coaching staff and the support staff,” said Team B.C. head coach Tom Kudaba.

Tiffany Perkins of Abbotsford placed 11th in the women’s javelin throw competition at this year’s International Association of Athletics World Junior Track and Field Championships this week in Moncton, N.B. Perkins’ final throw went TIFFANY PERKINS a distance of 45.83 metres.

Perkins, a 2009 W.J. Mouat grad, threw 48.46 metres to qualify for Wednesday’s women’s javelin final. This topped her previous best throw of 47.42m set two weeks ago at the Canadian junior trials also in Moncton.

This was the 13th annual World Junior Championships.

he time for talk is over, and now it’s a matter of putting the best foot forward.

That was the message from Abbotsford Cardinals head coach and GM Andy Rempel on Thursday as his team prepared for its first-round, best-of-three playoff series with the Fraser Valley Chiefs starting Saturday in Whalley.

The Chiefs have had the Cards’ number so far this season, winning two of the three regular season meetings, but that will have to change if Abbotsford is to make it to the Final Four at Nat Bailey Stadium later this month.

“I just think we’ve got to come to play. Everything we’ve done against them in the past is done and we start

T

over now,” said Rempel.

“It’s a matter of making good plays and putting good swings on the ball and I think we’ll be OK.If we bring our ‘A’ game, we’re a better team than they are.”

The series features a double-header on Saturday and, depending what happens in the first two games, a single game winner-take-all showdown on Sunday. Rempel was still trying to nail down his starting rotation of pitchers.

It’s a good bet Luke Webster and Max Chadsey, if he’s healthy enough to go after “tweaking his shoulder,” will pitch for the Cardinals.

“If [Luke] can get one of his two off-speed pitches over for strikes he’ll be very effective,” said Rempel.

All three games, if necessary, will be in Whalley. Times have not yet been set.

IHIT here on heels of ‘capital’ claim

Criminologist says numbers misleading CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

O

ne day before a possible homicide occurred, Abbotsford was given the dubious distinction of being named Canada’s murder capital for the second consecutive year.

Numbers released by Statistics Canada on Tuesday showed the Abbotsford-Mission Metropolitan Census Area had the highest homicide rate per capita in the country for 2009 at 5.2 per 100,000 people, which didn’t come as a surprise to the Abbotsford Police Department.

“We kind of knew this was going to happen,” APD Const. Ian MacDonald said.

“A lot of the comments that we made even in 2009 were indicative of the fact that we were, in advance, preparing ourselves for the fact the numbers as they related to homicides were not going to be favourable for us.” see CAPITAL, page A5

Abbotsford Police keep vigil at a house in the 32000 block of Austin Avenue Thursday after a 34-year-old woman was found dead inside the residence on Wednesday night. The death is deemed suspicious by police. See story, page A7.
