A
group of contractors repairing driveways in the Fraser Valley have allegedly threatened clients who don’t pay for work with sexual assault, IRA-style bombings and the killing of livestock, say police. Two separate incidents reported to authorities on Aug. 19 in Abbotsford and Langley involving the same construction contracting company has police concerned about public safety. Both times, complainants said the work was incomplete and inferior, and that the initial agreements with the company were full payment when the driveway work was completed, not half done.

MP Stockwell Day announces Monday that Mission Institution will see a $15-million expansion. It’s the first federal B.C. prison to make room for an expected 30 per cent increase in inmates, after new rules for credit served for those waiting for trial and sentencing take affect.

struction to begin in the fall. The living unit is based on an existing plan, which should shorten the tendering and building process, she added. To provide services for the additional inmates, CSC will also build a professional building at Mission Institution for programs, education, health care and office space, as well as another parking lot. Knopf said 30 more employees, including correctional officers, psychologists, aboriginal elders, office staff and others will be hired.
“In the Langley incident, they first suggested the complainant was a pedophile and they were going to tell the world,” Abbotsford police Const. Ian MacDonald said, adding that was followed with a threat to rape the man’s wife if he didn’t pay what the contractors felt they were owed. Police are not releasing the name of the company in question until they can first contact a representative, and investigate the threat allegations. Tracking the number given to clients by the company led police to a pay-as-you-go cell phone, which can be issued in anyone’s name, MacDonald said, making it difficult to trace. Hiring occurred after complainants spotted the contractors performing work in their area, and simply approached them.

Accident victim new to our city
Briefly Amber Alert solved An Amber Alert was cancelled by Chilliwack RCMP Sunday after a missing 12year-old boy was found safe in Langley less than six hours after a bizarre incident began. Daniel Sturm was taken forcibly from his maternal grandparents’ residence in the 46200-block Second Avenue in Chilliwack by his father and two other relatives at about 12:55 p.m., said the RCMP. The boy’s grandmother reported the incident as an abduction. The men left with the boy in a white 1990 Honda Accord, which was recovered on Lynn Crescent in Abbotsford where it was parked in the street. The boy was with his father when the two were found by police as they got out of a taxi at a gas station at 88th Avenue and 202nd Street in Langley. Police had named the father as Kenneth Daniel Morey, 34, the paternal grandfather as Kenneth John Morey, 56, and the other relative involved as Adam Joseph Morey, 17.
Fresh as they get Fraser River fishermen will offer some of this year’s sockeye salmon bounty at the Mission Harbour on Tuesday afternoon (today) and again on Wednesday, due to two openings this week, said harbour manager Vic Benedict. The fish will sell for $12 per whole fish, or $15 per dressed fish, which are already gutted. The average weight of the fish has been six to 6.5 pounds to date, he said. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans have allowed commercial harvest of sockeye for the first time in four years, as an estimated record run of up to 25 million fish are expected. More openings may be considered. – CHRISTINA TOTH

he 30-year-old Abbotsford resident who died in hospital after being struck by a vehicle while walking on the shoulder of Gladwin Road with a friend two weeks ago has been identified, according to the online news website www.sootoday.com. Shawn Burch passed away in a Vancouver-area hospital on Aug. 19, one day after he was struck by an Oldsmobile sedan in the 5100 block of Gladwin Road in Abbotsford at around 9:30 p.m. Burch moved to Abbotsford with his wife Julie and his four children, Rhylie, 11, Reece, eight, Reign, six, and River, four, from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., one month before the accident that claimed his life, reported SooToday.com. A Facebook page has been set up as an online memorial for friends and family. So far there are 178 members, most from Sault Ste. Marie, a city of about 75,000 residents in northern Ontario between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. The website also said a trust fund has been set up for his family. The driver of the Oldsmobile sedan, a 24-year-old Maple Ridge man, is said to be co-operating with police.
large agricultural area used primarily for corn crops and housing cattle. MacDonald said the area, which includes long stretches of paved and unpaved rural roads, is known to police not for its quantity of traffic accidents, but rather for the severity of them. “We’ve had some pretty nasty accidents out there,” said MacDonald “The area is not a hub for traffic and not a top 10 spot for car accidents, but out on the flats . . . sometimes people tend to be too sure of themselves when they drive down these roads. Ultimately people tend to move at [high] speed.”

BEDS, from page A1
Mission Mayor James Atebe told Day the $15-million project, along with other federally-funded stimulus work in the district, will have a long-term economic spinoff locally. “The economic multiplier effect is good for the community. The $15 million, once invested, will have a trickle effect in terms of jobs and services,” Atebe said. The system has about 13,767 inmates under federal jurisdiction at its 57 prisons, housing offenders serving two years or more. It’s expected to absorb an additional 3,400 offenders nationally over the next three years, CSC commissioner Don Head wrote in public communiqué this June. The in-custody inmate population is expected to jump by about 30 per cent by 2013. Until the new units are built, some inmates at Mission Institution may be doublebunked, where two inmates are required to share one cell due to space restrictions. “There will be an increase in shared cell
PAVE, from page A1 “Both incidents do come back to contract work that was procured from the same company,” MacDonald said, and “both of the incidents involve people who have accents from the United Kingdom.” A connection to the Irish Republican Army was insinuated, MacDonald said, and that a bombing could take place if the clients didn’t pay up. “We’re talking thousands of dollars.” Clients have said the contractors value the work at
◗ Springhill Institution in Nova Scotia will also be expanded, and calls for bids went out two weeks ago.
Threats catch cops’ attention between $8,000 and $13,000, he said. According to the clients who were threatened, complaints to the contractors about incomplete and shoddy work resulted in labourers simply leaving. “ The workers actually packed their stuff up and drove away,” MacDonald said. The problems with the work and payment could have been handled in small claims court, he said, but police are involved because
of the nature of the alleged threats being made. The public needs to be aware that hiring a work crew off the street might not be a good idea, MacDonald said. “People should deal with companies that have good reputations, or are endorsed by a business bureau or homebuilders association equivalent.” Anyone with information regarding the company is asked to call the APD at 604859-5225, or Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

accommodation and the addition of over 2,700 spaces across our penitentiaries to handle this population growth,” Head wrote. The practise is not new to the federal system, but double-bunking has been criticized in the past as it adds to tensions in the prison environment and can create safety risks for correctional officers. However, CSC spokesman Alain Charette said Monday that “inmates will be carefully chosen to ensure they are compatible,” before they are bunked together. As well, CSC will make “every effort” to get inmates in the appropriate programs they need as soon as possible, he said. Mission’s minimum security Ferndale Institution may also be expanded, but Day would not confirm that. He would only say that CSC will assess its needs over the next few years to determine where the expansions will be. Mission Institution currently has 275 inmates, and is “pretty well at capacity,” said Knopf.

Tamils are met with racism
T
he following scenario is purely imaginary. After a months-long sea crossing in a leaky converted freighter, more than 400 people from a nation wracked by terrorism and civil war land on Canada’s shores. They immediately claim refugee status. They come from a country that has seen a long and violent conflict. They are essentially on the losing side. They worry about further violence if they return home. While many of those on board are women and children, some may be members of a foreign terrorist organization. What does our government do? That depends. My imaginary boat comes from Northern Ireland, circa 1985. But it may have called to mind a boat that just arrived on our shores from Sri Lanka. I’m having a hard time imagining a boat of English-speaking white Irish Catholics getting the same vicious reception that the Tamils have received since they arrived. The level of racism in the debate over the Tamils is hard to measure. It’s veiled behind rhetoric about refugees “jumping the queue” and talk about them becoming freeloaders on Canada’s welfare system. The terrorism charge is the one the government has jumped on with both feet. Apparently, to have ever been a member of or a soldier for the Liberation
MATTHEW CLAXTON
the painful truth Tigers of Tamil Eelam is to be a terrorist. Of course, the Tamil Tigers committed a great many terrorist crimes, including pioneering the use of suicide bombing. (That’s where the Palestinian Intifada got the idea.) They also committed political assassinations, both in Sri Lanka and in India. The Tigers also forcibly conscripted children, attacked religious targets, and engaged in piracy and arms smuggling. But they ran a good portion of northeastern Sri Lanka as a de facto independent country for decades. So the Tamil Tigers organization contains vicious monsters, and it also contains people who worked for the monsters and looked the other way so they and their families could survive. That the Sri Lankan government might not make fine distinctions between the two types of Tigers is a legitimate concern. So there may be terrorists on board the boat, and they should be found and deported to face justice for their crimes. But like determining who in Northern Ireland is an IRA bomber, who an IRA supporter, and who an
accomplice out of fear, it will not be easy. The odd notion that the Tamil migrants are trying to jump the queue should also be discarded. As Stephen Hume pointed out in a recent Vancouver Sun column, there are two routes to becoming a refugee in Canada: you can get there from a refugee camp, or you can show up and say you would suffer persecution if returned home. The Sri Lankan government has been dismantling refugee camps since the war ended; it’s an open question whether persecution has ceased, and one that will likely determine the refugees’ fate. Finally, the notion of freeloading is also interesting. A lot of fury has surrounded the idea that these are only “economic migrants,” that they just want a better life, with things like clean water, good jobs and nice homes. Well, how dare they! Those things are clearly for those of us who were already here and inherited them without doing a lick of work settling this country. But of course, perhaps I’m biased. Aside from the recent arrivals from America, none of my family members ever applied for permission to come to Canada. I don’t think they ever asked the Sto:lo, Algonquin, Six Nations, or Cree people for immigration forms. ■ Matthew Claxton is a reporter for the Langley Advance.
here are fish in the river,” the watchers have proclaimed. Only a couple of decades ago, that would have been an unspeakably obvious statement. Who would even have thought to say it? One might as likely note that there are birds in the sky, or that there are leaves on the trees, or that there are cars on the roads. So poorly have we managed our natural resources that a statement as obvious as “there are fish in the river” has become no longer obvious at all. The 25 million sockeye entering the Fraser River on their way to the spawning beds have come as a remarkable surprise – and a remarkably pleasant one, at that. The past few years saw such a dramatic decline in sockeye numbers that until this summer, there was much hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth over the fishery’s apparent collapse and the species’ imminent demise. It has come as a monumental surprise that, after the salmon run last year was so tenuous that the commercial fishery was never opened, this year’s run is the strongest since 1913. Not so surprising was the reaction to the surprisingly good news: joyous cries, from fishermen to economists and anyone else who might make a buck off the unexpected bounty, calling for the capture and death of as many of those 25 million salmon as possibly can be managed. We must not lose sight of the fact that the millions of salmon waiting for a rainy day to speed them on their way up to their spawning beds are in no way a confirmation of humanity’s stewardship of the environment, but rather are a testament to Mother Nature’s ability to overcome – at least this time – the adversity that humanity has created. – BOB GROENEVELD

Columnist no pillar of truth Visit us Columnist John Martin’s Gov’t gets it right with census (Times, Aug. 20), is a worrisome tidbit of misinformation that reaches redundant conclusions. By raising red-herring arguments to support his views, (he) further erodes public confidence in what he says. To be a credible government tool, the census needs to be mandatory. The questions are subject to periodic revision to keep (them) relevant. The penalties are severe enough to cause compliance. That may include financial penalties or incarceration for more serious violations. Nonetheless like any legislation or bylaws, standards of compliance and means of enforcement must be stated. Silliness and rantings aside, like his stated conclusion, “besides, if liberal, socialists, separatists, lawyers and teachers are all against something, you know it’s got to be the right move,” or insulting opponents as “pointy heads,” this really speaks volumes to his contempt, ignorance or bias. Voluntary questionnaires are unreliable and totally useless beyond a snapshot of respondents, ideally tempered with wide scope of participation, both geographic and numbers of respondents, to try and minimize major self-interest views that skew results. Thus, first understand correctly what government motivation is for

Look at the big picture when it comes to Fraser fishing Let the big Fraser run go home, to enrich the ecosystem, to rebuild the Fraser ecosystems. Several media reports have noted the old dogma of commercial fishermen that “too many” returning salmon will “jam fragile spawning grounds, and threaten future runs.” New scientific literature tells us otherwise, and this also needs to be reported to the pubic. It is of the greatest importance now to return this first great run of a century to the spawning grounds, where they will begin to rebuild thousands of depleted stream ecosystems with nutrients: many fish, bird and mammal populations will also benefit. Many fish may die before spawning, but they will also be a gain to a depleted ecosystem. It is not acceptable to squander the ecological gains that are finally being realized on the Fraser River by allowing more commercial fishing. Over the long term, if the Fraser is managed properly, “abundance will create abundance” and the great ecosystems of the past can indeed be rebuilt. David Ellis Vancouver

(in) ending a mandatory census. It is, in part, as Mr. Martin quips, “piece of Stephen Harpers scary, hidden agenda.” Indeed, “If you are determined to halt, if not roll back, Canada’s advances in social and economic equality, turning the long form census into an unreliable statistical mishmash is such a means”. It is crucial to keep matters in context and perspective as it applies to a specific undertaking – relevance and results – that in this instance, mandatory participation is needed for a national benefit, which sporadic or voluntary questionnaires will not achieve. I would expect a more objective and informed opinion from a presumably educated person, but it goes to my points that you cannot believe all you hear if one is touting a biased or self-serving view to purposely misinform the public. Thus, my approach is to carefully undertake research, to do due diligence and become properly informed upon facts. Do not rely upon others who may be pursuing more sinister or ideology goals that are not compatible with society. George Evens Mission

The memorial plaques were crafted out of either copper or bronze with various references to help commemorate the life of Danny Epp, who was 22 when his body was found on the popular North Van“We personally couver ski destination don’t feel like we’re in 2006. However, their placepolluting. This was ment on some of the rockiest terrain in B.C. just strictly a perhas drawn cr iticism sonal family thing from the local hiking community. that we do . . .” A forum on the popular outdoor enthusiast – Fran Epp mother w e b s i t e, w w w. c l u b tread.com, has dozens of negative, sometimes angry comments, all of which were posted
beginning on Monday, Aug. 9. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s pollution,” wrote someone by the username of ShadowChaser, who resides in Langley, according to the website. “. . . and it appears as though his family has been ‘spamming’ mountain tops ever since. “I understand a family needs to grieve, but it should be done sensibly and without polluting the world. “I’m going to show my ‘respect’ to the mountains, it’s chisel time. The same goes with any other memorial, pollution, or other disrespect I come across.” Others on the forum supported the idea of vandalizing the plaques, b u t Da n n y ’s m o t h e r, Fra n , h o p e s n o t h i n g more negative will come from this. “We realize that when we started this that of course you’re going to get negative attitude,” she said, adding one memorial has been hacked out of its concrete hold. “We accepted it. We’re very positive people and we knew that from the beginning that it would be a possibility,” she said. “We personally don’t feel like we’re polluting. This was just strictly a personal family thing that
Fisherman’s body found near Mission R
andy Garrecht, 33, was fishing just off the popular Old Orchard Road access point in Chilliwack last Tuesday when he slipped from the rocks and fell into the river. A friend jumped into the river to help, but had to be saved himself. Chilliwack Search and Rescue immediately started a search but was unable to immediately find Garrecht. On Thursday, his body was found near Mission. Lang’s Fishing Adven-
tures guides Lang Nguyen and Matt Pace were heading upriver to meet a friend when a fellow boater waved them down and pointed out the would-be rescuer on the other side of the river. “I could see hands flopping and splashing,” Nguyen told freelance videographer Wayne Price. The two guides managed to pull the man onto their boat. Pace said he had been in the water for about 10 minutes and was so weak
upon being rescued that he could barely get in the boat. But far from being happy that he was rescued, the man was downcast. “I couldn’t explain his face, so sad. He said ‘my buddy is dead,’ ” Nguyen told Price. When the men on the boat looked back, they saw Garrecht’s body floating face down in the river. But before Nguyen and the man’s friend could grab the body, it slipped beneath the water. The rescued man told
we do and the few that we have up there, we’ve tried to put them out of the way so they’re not in a populated location.” According to various online sources, including www.tetongravity.com, the Epp family planned to climb 22 mountains, one for each year Danny was alive. Fran Epp would not go into further detail about the memorials, including how many have been planted to date, or whether the family was permitted to do so in provincial parks. The online www.clubtread.com forum named 11 sites where plaques for Danny had been put up, some of which belong to B.C. provincial parks. Information provided by the B.C. Ministry of Environment said the text on a commemorative plaque must be approved by B.C. Parks, and can only be installed on park furniture such as benches or picnic tables. But rather than focus on the negative, which she said is not what the Epp family is about, Fran remained positive. “He was an amazing son,” she said.
Nguyen that Garrecht had worked all week and was “gung ho” about going fishing. He apparently fell into a back eddy that was 30 to 40 feet deep and could not swim out of it. “He couldn’t have fallen in a worse place,” said Pace. RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop said the death is a reminder about the danger of water and the importance of wearing a lifejacket, even when standing near shore. She said police have heard reports of fishermen falling into the river, pulling them-

Nguyen agreed and urged fishermen “not to rush it” while seeking sockeye. – POSTMEDIA NETWORK
Fence should guard against ‘unsafe males’
R
esidents of Santa Rosa Place – a second-stage transitional housing project run by the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley – are feeling safer these days, after a 55-foot long fence on the north side of the property was installed. “We’ve already had a couple of security breaches where unsafe males have unlawfully entered Santa Rosa and have had to be removed by the RCMP,” said Pamela Willis, executive director of WRSFV. The fence was built thanks to a $7,000 grant from the Envision Financial Endowment of the First West Foundation. Fraser Valley Building Supplies in Mission also helped by securing a contractor and materials. Currently 14 women and seven children live at Santa Rosa. The fence also prevents small children from wandering onto the street. WRSFV is a non-profit group that provides emergency shelter, second stage housing and more for women, children and youth who experience domestic violence. Visit www. firstwestfoundation.ca.

Summer seems peachy keen Remember: they won’t get sweeter after being picked
W
hat is your favourite seasonal fruit purchase? For many, it is peaches. Believed to have originated in China more than 4,000 years ago, peaches now make up a large portion of the fresh fruit crop sales in British Columbia, where I reside. Similar to many tree fruits, peaches will ripen after they have been picked, however, they will not get any sweeter. The sweetness level is determined by whether the peaches were allowed to grow to maturity on the tree. Although maturity and ripeness may sound the same, a mature fruit is described as one that has grown to a degree that allows it to ripen. The ripeness of fruit focuses more on the texture appeal. Maximum sweetness levels will develop on the tree, while the juiciness and softness will continue to evolve after they have been harvested. Peaches obviously offer their best quality to our awaiting appetites when they are consumed fresh, however they can easily be canned or frozen to help extend the season into the winter months. Basically there are two distinct qualities of the many varieties of peaches that are currently cultivated: clingstone and freestone. One may assume that the definitions of these two categories are obvi-
such as chicken breast or salmon. Luckily, summertime allows us the opportunity to enjoy the complete natural freshness of this fragrant fuzzy fruit. Try saying that three times fast.
CHEF DEZ
On cooking ously describing the level of ease in the removal of the stone. Although this is true, it goes beyond this first assumption. Clingstone peaches also offer a firmer flesh that is preferable for canning, as they tend to hold their shape better. The flesh in freestone peaches is more delicate and should be reserved for eating fresh. These two classifications also fall true for plums. If you purchase peaches that are firm, leave them at room temperature for a few days to allow them to soften. Otherwise they should be stored in the crisper of the refrigerator to ensure the maximum lifespan of their edibility. The use of peaches in desserts is an obvious expectation, however there are other methods to capture their mouth-watering enticement. The first idea that comes to mind is a peach salsa. Mix small chopped pieces with some complimenting flavours and colours such as red pepper, purple onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and of course, some crushed garlic. Season it with salt, pepper, and a bit of sugar. You will have an incredible summer condiment to compliment grilled specialties from your barbecue,

Dear Chef Dez: What is the best way to peel peaches? I love peach desserts, however I always find it hard to get the skin off successfully without totally destroying the look of the peach slices. Tony R. Langley Dear Tony: I find that the best way to remove the skin from peaches is to blanch them briefly in boiling water. Score an X on the bottom of the peaches with a knife, and submerse them in boiling water for approximately 30 to 60 seconds. Immediately plunge them into ice water to halt the cooking process. After they have cooled, the skins can be easily removed with your fingers or the edge of a knife. Keep in mind that if the peeled peaches are exposed to the air for a period of time, they will start to oxidize (turn brown). A quick coating of lemon juice will help to prevent this.

ell, his intentions were good. For Abbotsford born and raised Scott Shantz, what better way to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the PNE than with 100 rides on its famed wooden roller coaster to kick off the province’s biggest exhibition. That’s when the plan went awry. The producer of the Virgin Radio Vancouver morning show, Breakfast with Nat and Drew, took about 15 of his radio listeners along on the venture, and while they had no problem on the 90-second ride time after time, Shantz was done after seven consecutive rides. “It was a failure of colossal proportions,” said the 2000 graduate of W. J. Mouat, who admitted that after that last trip, he was throwing up in the roller coaster car and again when he got out. “I got made fun of by everyone. There were a lot

Scott Shantz and his wife Jo-Lee were all smiles after their first PNE roller coaster ride, but the tide turned, and so did Shantz’s stomach, so he called it quits after ride seven. of laughs at my expense,” he said, chuckling on the phone last Friday. “I honestly thought I’d be OK.” Shantz said he spent days leading up to the Aug. 20 ride bragging about it on the air. At the radio station they like to celebrate things in fun and creative ways he said, so this seemed like the perfect idea to kick off the PNE. “But I just couldn’t take it any more,” he said, adding he use to ride the roller coasters dozens of times as a kid. “I was shocked. It made me feel old.”
The 15 radio listeners and his wife Jo-Lee had no trouble handling the coaster’s multiple rides. “It was a little bit shaming but a lot of fun,” he said. Shantz has no plans to repeat this particular stunt, but was a good sport for all the ribbing he took afterwards from his listeners.

All annuals bloom longer if deadheaded regularly and if annuals grown for foliage happen to flower, it’s usually best to deadhead them early.

n the early years of gardening many of us treat deadheading as a casual stroll where we can hold a cup of coffee (or glass of wine) in one hand and pick off spent flowers with the other.

Keeping the government out of your private affairs
E
very five years, the federal government conducts a census of Canadians. The next census is due to be taken in 2011. All Canadians are required to complete a short form of census which asks eight simple questions about things like date of birth, gender, marital status and mother tongue. The answers to these questions help government plan for the future. However, you may be among the 20 per cent of Canadians who are also
required by law to complete a mandatory long form of census – approximately 40 pages long – which asks questions about your private and personal affairs, questions such as “What time do you leave for work in the morning?”, “What is the number of bedrooms in your house?”, and “How big is your utility bill?” Most Canadians are surprised to hear that, not only are they required to answer these and many more personal and intrusive questions, but they
ED FAST
MP FYI can prosecuted, fined and even jailed for failing to complete the long form census. Imagine being called a criminal for failing to tell the government whether your house needs major or minor repairs. What’s worse is that, once in the government’s hands, this information can be sold to marketing firms and businesses looking to sell their products. During the last census, the long form census was sent
to approximately 2.5 million households. Of this number, some 160,000 refused to fill out the mandatory long form census. And this number didn’t include the many others who felt that, as law-abiding citizens, they had no option but to comply with what they felt was an unnecessary intrusion of big government into their lives. Recently, our Conservative government decided to make the long form census voluntary. To ensure that the information gleaned from this census remains accurate, we also increased to 30 per cent the number of Canadians to whom the long form census will be sent. Sadly, some special interest groups and even Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff himself have said
OPINION
❘ A17
that Canadians should be forced to divulge intimate, private details about their personal lives under threat of criminal sanctions. I strongly disagree! I believe Canadians are fairminded but also protective of their personal privacy and individual freedoms. They understand the importance of finding an appropriate balance between the individual and the state, between ensuring that government has the basic information it requires and protecting the privacy of Canadian citizens. I believe that making the long form census voluntary achieves that balance. I am confident that Statistics Canada will continue to apply the same rigorous methods and standards used for all of its surveys.

Cascades sweep series UFV men take down Carleton; women win too
Roadrunners’ Calif. gridiron immersion T
Royal College a 3-0 loss on Saturday to complete the sweep at the TRU women’s soccer tournament. “They never stopped and finally were rewarded with the winning goal late in the match,” said head coach Rob Giesbrecht.
he Mission Roadrunners varsity football team is heading to California for a little sun and a whole lot of football from Aug. 31 to Sept. 5. The team, ranked fourth in the province for AA, will be practising at a local high school and attending a large “Friday Night Lights” high school game and an NCAA San Diego State University football game. The Roadrunners will then suit up against the perennial powerhouse, St. Margaret’s Episcopal School in San Juan Capistrano on Sept. 4th. It should prove to be a tough preseason test for coach Kevin Watrin’s crew. “It is nice to be considered among the Double-A football elite teams,” said Watrin. “But it is early and we need to play some games to prove ourselves.” The senior team is in good stead this fall thanks to the junior varsity squad moving up this year along with their coach Danny Jakobs. The JVs were one win away from a perfect season, but lost in the provincial championship. The varsity team strapped on the pads for two tournaments over the summer, and won the consolation game in both the University of Washington and Big Kahuna 7 on 7 tournaments. A number of boys also turned some heads at both U.S. and Canadian camps this summer. Tanner Pearce earned a coveted spot on Team B.C., a provincial all-star team, and competed in Nova Scotia where Team B.C. finished third. He will be the starting quarterback for the Roadrunners. The varsity’s first home game is on Sept. 10th at 3:45 p.m. against Holy Cross, a strong Triple-A team. The JV team kicks off at Mission Secondary on Sept. 8th at 3:45 p.m.

T
he University of the Fraser Valley Cascades men’s soccer team kept the Carleton University Ravens on the ground this weekend, sweeping the twogame exhibition series with their foes from Ottawa. The Cascades shut down the high powered Ravens offence and came away with a 1-0 win on Saturday at Bateman Park in Abbotsford. Second-year midfielder Sasa Plavsic scored the lone goal of the highly contested rubber match. The Coquitlam product managed to beat Ravens netminder Sam Hincks with a direct shot at the 80th minute of play. Cascades goalkeeper Colton Keam was sensational in the series finale, stopping all four shots on goal in the first half and then stymieing the opposition late in the second half as the Ravens looked to tie things up. “This was a another good step for our young team, “said UFV Head Coach Alan Errington. “They (Carleton) are a quality side. It just helps build our confidence for the regular season.” The Cascades men’s soccer team is now a perfect 3-0 in exhibition play. Earlier last week, UFV downed the Ravens in a wild 3-2 affair at Bateman Park. Abbotsford’s own Mohammed Aziz scored what would be the eventual game-winning goal on a set up from Plavsic.

Pilots getting younger and tougher as season approaches CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com
T
h e Abbotsford Pilots have resorted to the youthful trend that seems to be taking the entire hockey world by storm these days. The Pilots, who began exhibition play on Wednesday, have 13 rookies signed — and the Pacific International Junior Hockey League season starts in less than two weeks. “This is probably the best crop of
young guys that we’ve signed since I’ve been here,” offered Pilots head coach Jim Cowden. “They can all skate, they can play and they’ve got some toughness as well.” Toughness, something Cowden said his team lacked down the stretch and into the playoffs last season, is one thing the Pilots won’t be without in 2010-2011. The Pilots acquired hard-nosed 19-year-old defenceman Daniel Amesbury from the conference-rival
R i d g e Me a d ows Flames in exchange for blueliner Sean Kavanagh back on June 21. Amesbury is coming off an impressive season with the Flames, scor- DANIEL AMESBURY ing four goals and 28 points in 45 regular season games. But his toughness, namely the 368 penalty minutes he accrued last year, has caught Cowden’s eye. “He’ll support his teammates if things get out of hand. The last cou-
ple of years we’ve gone deep in the playoffs and last year we didn’t and we were just missing that toughness, that character that gets you deep in the playoffs,” said Cowden. “[Kavanagh] was a great player for us, he put up big numbers, but . . . sometimes you have to give up something to get something.” Cowden added that Amesbury has the potential to exceed the 28 points he posted last season, and will be used in an offensive role as well. “We expect him to put up more points this year.” The Pilots play their second exhibition game tonight against the

A
group of contractors repairing driveways in the Fraser Valley have allegedly threatened clients who don’t pay for work with sexual assault, IRA-style bombings and the killing of livestock, say police. Two separate incidents reported to authorities on Aug. 19 in Abbotsford and Langley involving the same construction contracting company has police concerned about public safety. Both times, complainants said the work was incomplete and inferior, and that the initial agreements with the company were full payment when the driveway work was completed, not half done.

struction to begin in the fall. The living unit is based on an existing plan, which should shorten the tendering and building process, she added. To provide services for the additional inmates, CSC will also build a professional building at Mission Institution for programs, education, health care and office space, as well as another parking lot. Knopf said 30 more employees, including correctional officers, psychologists, aboriginal elders, office staff and others will be hired.
“In the Langley incident, they first suggested the complainant was a pedophile and they were going to tell the world,” Abbotsford police Const. Ian MacDonald said, adding that was followed with a threat to rape the man’s wife if he didn’t pay what the contractors felt they were owed. Police are not releasing the name of the company in question until they can first contact a representative, and investigate the threat allegations. Tracking the number given to clients by the company led police to a pay-as-you-go cell phone, which can be issued in anyone’s name, MacDonald said, making it difficult to trace. Hiring occurred after complainants spotted the contractors performing work in their area, and simply approached them.
