Bus drivers vote to strike

Alex BUTLERAbbotsford News

CUPE Fraser Valley bus drivers have voted 94 per cent in favour of a strike mandate as part of the negotiating process.

The members of CUPE Local 561 gave the man-date at a meeting held Sunday night, meaning they are in favour of their bargaining team taking strike action if negotiations break down.

The union would have to serve 72-hour strike notice with the BC Labour Relations Board before taking job action.

But CUPE Local 561 President Dave Ginter said he is confident negotiations won’t lead to a strike.

The First Canada ULC employees are still in bar-gaining with the employer and say that the strike vote is to communicate their resolve to get a new collective agreement.

Ginter said the main items union members are looking for is wage parity for drivers of smaller buses, such as HandyDART, with drivers of larger buses in the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver.

The union is also hoping for some benefits for casual employees, who currently do not have any.

First Canada ULC operates the Central Fraser Valley Transit System – which serves Abbotsford and Mission – and BC Transit.

The membership rejected a proposed memoran-dum of settlement last month.

The two sides have met five times since the contract expired last summer and the union is seeking a return to the bargaining table for fur-ther talks.

“I think we’re going to get this resolved,” Ginter said.CUPE 561 represents 134 bus drivers, mechan-

ics, cleaners, and maintenance workers and in-cludes members from Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack. Julia Scott performs to Summertime Sadness at the Abbotsford Skating Club’s Beach Blades ice

$14,000 in transit finesAbbotsford resident among scofflaws with dozens of unpaid TransLink tickets

Jeff NAGELBlack Press

An Abbotsford resident with $14,583 in old TransLink fare evasion fines owes more than any other scofflaw now being denied licence and insurance renewals by ICBC.

Data released by the insurance corporation shows all of the top 10 transit fine offenders it tracks have at least 35 unpaid tickets issued from 2002-2012 and owe more than $4,000 each. Together, their unpaid fines total $73,000.

Five of the top fare evaders are from Surrey. One is on the hook for 56 unpaid fines totalling $8,418, while the others have 36 to 45 unpaid fines and owe between $4,000 and $6,000.

Three Burnaby residents are on the list. One has 86 fines totalling $11,678, followed by one with 46 fines owing $7,831 and another owing $5,326 for 41 fines.

A New Westminster resident has the 10th highest number of fines – 35 worth $5,800.

ICBC on April 1 began denying auto insurance and driver’s licence renewals to motorists with unpaid TransLink tickets

issued in 2012 and earlier, in line with provincial legislation passed that year.

A total of 37,000 old unpaid fare evasion tickets worth $5.7 million are now subject to ICBC “refusal to issue” holds.

The identities of the top fare evaders listed by ICBC were withheld.

The ICBC list does not include all fare evaders – it only tracks the ones with active driver’s licences.

Others who don’t have driver’s licences who ride SkyTrain but never pay and ignore tickets may owe even larger amounts.

“We can only play a role in helping to collect this debt where there’s an active driver’s licence or insurance policy, so that’s all we can report on,” ICBC’s Adam Grossman said.

There is no amnesty on partial payment of large amounts owed or cap on the maximum ICBC insists is paid before lift-ing a hold.

“This is provincial government debt but I believe their goal is to recover as much of the outstanding payments as possible,” Grossman said.

Travel: Use of vehicles climbsAlex BUTLERAbbotsford News

Almost three-quar-ters of Abbotsford’s travel involves private vehicles – a number that has increased since 2008 – according to data released by the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD).

FVRD representatives presented the 2011 trip diary to council on Monday, revealing that the way people travel in Abbotsford has not changed much from 2008, but in some cases, their destinations have.

The diary is a one-day snapshot of how people travel in the Fraser Valley, meaning that it is representative of the day the survey was taken.

Barclay Pitkethly, di-rector of regional pro-grams for the FVRD, said that in compari-son to 2008, the per-centage of drivers rose from 66 per cent to 71 per cent. He added that less people trav-elled as passengers, dropping from 23 to 20 per cent, indicating that more people trav-elled alone.

Other areas remained more constant. Walking

dropped from six to four per cent, while transit remained at two per cent, cycling was less than one per cent and other remained at three per cent.

But of the more than 300,000 trips originat-ing in Abbotsford, about 80 per cent were within city limits. About 12 per cent were headed to Metro Vancouver and Pitkethly said that travel to Langley has increased, but de-creased to other parts

of Vancouver. Just over three per

cent were headed to both Chilliwack and Mission, but Pitkethly said that more trips are being taken be-tween Abbotsford and Chilliwack than Abbotsford and Mission, a first for the survey.

Pitkethly explained that across the FVRD, the majority of the trips are internal. Only 9.8 per cent of all trips are going to Metro

Vancouver and only about 3.8 per cent ac-tually cross the bridge.

“This is interesting to note when mayors start asking for money to fund their transit projects,” he added.

Transit usership dropped a per cent across the Fraser Valley, which Pitkethly said could be due to two factors, the first being that transit ser-vice hours of opera-tion haven’t kept pace with population, and

that there has been an increase in inter-regional travel with no expansion to transit services.

Pitkethly said they expect that to change due to efficiency re-views and the imple-mentation of the Fraser Valley Express, a recently approved ex-press bus connection Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Langley.

Coun. John Smith noted that biking has not increased since 2008, but in that time the city has spent mil-lions on bike lanes.

Pitkethly said that capturing even one per cent of the total trips is a significant number, adding that the survey was done in October, which means poor weather could be a contributing factor.

Coun. Dave Loewen said he understands that some people may have concerns about the funds put into bike lanes, but he said the same applies to walk-ing, which remains low and yet still sees significant investment into infrastructure including paths and sidewalks.

Cars continue to increase their dominance as the primary means of travel in this city.File photo

Partnership with Bacon a ‘risk,’ court hears

Lucrative drug business prompted Red Scorpions mergerSheila REYNOLDSBlack Press

Former Red Scorpion gang leader Michael Le – who struck a plea deal in November and admitted to his role in the Surrey Six murders – began testifying against his two former co-accused and fellow gang members Tuesday, saying he attempted to iron out a dispute between victim Corey Lal and Abbotsford gangster Jamie Bacon before the mass slaughter.

Cody Haevischer and Matt Johnston are currently on trial, each faced with six counts of first-degree murder in connection with the execution-style shooting of six men in a Surrey apart-ment building on Oct. 19, 2007. One of the victims was an innocent trades-man from Abbotsford who was in the complex working on a gas fireplace.

Le, now 29, was originally charged with first-degree murder and conspir-acy in connection with the case, but pleaded guilty to only the conspiracy charge late last year. He received a 12-year jail sentence, minus double cred-it for the four-and-a-half years he’d already served, leaving about three years remaining of his sentence.

The media was banned from reporting details of his plan to work with Crown and testify against Haevischer and Johnston until Monday, when B.C. Supreme Court Justice Catherine Wedge set aside the publication ban.

In B.C. Supreme Court on Tuesday, the court heard that Le was charged with murder as a youth and met Johnston and Red Scorpion (RS) gang co-founder Konaam Shirzad in jail. Le said he started drug trafficking in Surrey at age 18 and quickly found suc-cess, bringing in others to help operate dial-a-dope lines.

Johnston, he said, suggested expanding his drug business to New Westminster, where Le said he made as much as $150,000 per month. Making such big money meant he could recruit new members, Le said, and Johnston vouched for Haevischer to join the Red Scorpions.

It was after being arrested in April 2006 and serving time that Le said he met Person X (who pleaded guilty to the Surrey Six murders several years ago and whose name is banned from publication).

He then met Bacon, who was also in prison. The two became friends, Le said, and he told Bacon about the Red Scorpions. After their release, the pair started working together and Le said he supplied Bacon with cocaine. They soon talked about merging Bacon’s crew with the Red Scorpions so they could expand their drug-dealing business.

The merger, Le told the court, took place in the summer of 2007 and was beneficial because it made the gang larger, meaning “more people respect you and fear you.”

Le noted prior to the gang merger, he never wore protective body armour, but did afterwards. He agreed with Crown that he considered Bacon a “risk.”

Talk about friction between Bacon and Corey Lal began shortly after the merger, Le said, adding Lal was partners with Eddie Narong in the drug trade. Le knew Narong from middle school. He testified he met with Lal to attempt to iron out the issues between Lal and Bacon. But the problems persisted.

“He’s a little bitch, I’m going to jack him,” Le testified Bacon told him.

Bacon is charged with first-degree murder and one of conspiracy to murder Lal, but is being tried separately at a later date. The Crown’s theory is that Lal was the intended target of the 2007 slaughter, but that five others were killed to eliminate witnesses.

Jeff NAGELBlack Press

The onset of spring is pushing up tulips – and gasoline prices.And industry watchers expect Metro Vancouver pump prices

to close in on their all-time record of about $1.50 per litre of regular gas in the weeks ahead.

Average prices were around $1.44 per litre last week, up more than 15 per cent from the mid-December low of around $1.24.

Jason Toews, founder of the gasbuddy.com website, expects prices will rise further – up to a point.

“I think there’s going to be a lot of resistance at $1.50. It’s a psychological barrier. People really start changing their driving habits and it starts having an impact on demand.”

Metro Vancouver average pump prices approached but es-sentially bounced off $1.50 twice last year, in mid-May and mid-July.

Toews said Abbotsford gas prices, which were just under $1.30

Tuesday, could hit $1.40 a litre this spring or summer before lower prices return in the fall.

Better spring weather always brings more driving, increased demand and therefore higher prices.

But Toews noted gas prices are somewhat higher now than they were at the same time last year.

Crude oil accounts for 70 per cent of the cost of gasoline and it’s almost 10 per cent higher than in early spring of 2013.

But the bigger factor is the Canadian dollar, which has slid nearly a dime against the U.S. greenback.

Since oil is priced in U.S. dollars, the loonie’s weakness means the price Canadian refiners actually pay for crude is about 20 per cent higher now than a year ago, Toews said.

“The Canadian dollar is definitely having an impact.”Toews said his prediction of no new record is contingent on

no major international crisis that sends crude prices soaring, or a production problem similar to the fire at Washington’s Cherry Point refinery in 2012.

Man was to be sentenced for assaulting a bus driverVikki HOPESAbbotsford News

A scuffle broke out last Thursday morning in an Abbotsford courtroom between a sheriff and a prisoner who was to be sen-tenced for assaulting a bus driver.

A chaotic scene followed in which several other sheriffs burst into the courtroom to help subdue the prisoner, and police were called in to investigate.

The incident took place at about 11:15 a.m. in courtroom 105 at the Abbotsford Courthouse during the sentencing hearing for Landy Pierre Falk, 27, who previously pleaded guilty to the June 2013 assault.

Falk was sitting in the prisoner’s dock as Crown lawyer Simon Thomson was making his submissions.

A few minutes into the proceedings, the sheriff who was sitting beside the dock stood up and told the judge that Falk had mut-tered something at him.

The sheriff asked for the case to be adjourned for a few minutes, and the judge agreed. As is standard court procedure, the mem-bers of the gallery – including the victim, his wife and several fel-low bus drivers – rose from their seats as the judge left the room.

The sheriff moved into the prisoner’s dock to take Falk from the courtroom and back to a holding cell. Falk appeared to say something to the sheriff, who warned him to stop, and a tussle followed, resulting in the sheriff pinning Falk down.

The prisoner continued to struggle and repeatedly punched the sheriff as he kept Falk pinned down. The courtroom doors then burst open as several other sheriffs stormed in and ran to the prisoner’s dock to help subdue Falk.

The gallery members were asked to leave the courtroom as the struggle continued. They were asked to remain at the courthouse, and provided written and audio witness statements to police.

The sheriff involved in the altercation was taken to hospital by ambulance with minor injuries.

The sentencing hearing was adjourned, and possible assault charges will be considered against Falk in connection to the court-room incident. Falk has been in custody since Jan. 10, following a series of arrests.

The assault of bus driver Dallas Warner took place June 25, 2013. Thomson told the court that, earlier that day, Warner had an en-counter with Falk in which Falk was verbally abusive.

Warner recognized Falk later on when Falk and his pregnant girlfriend boarded a bus in the 2700 block of Bourquin Crescent West. When Warner asked Falk to leave the bus because of the earlier incident, Falk punched him repeatedly in the face.

Warner now has permanent hearing loss in his right ear and has been unable to return to work due to the emotional and psycho-logical impact of the unprovoked attack, Thomson said.

Four months later, Falk was charged for uttering threats against his now former girlfriend, with whom he has a baby. In January, he was arrested for assaulting her when he choked and head-butted her, and has been in custody since.

Thomson said Falk has bipolar disorder and can become aggres-sive and violent when not taking his medication.

Falk has pleaded guilty to the two assaults and the uttering-threats charge. He is next set to appear in Abbotsford provincial court on April 17 to set a new date for sentencing.

The victim and colleagues who came to support Warner said they will be back in court for the conclusion of the case.

Bus driver Don Duncan said he and his colleauges are fed up with the rise in physical and verbal attacks against them and want to see harsher penalties for offenders.

“We’ve all had enough. There’s a breaking point for every-body …”

Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News

A man who tried to enter Canada with 10 guns at the Abbotsford-Huntingdon bor-der crossing a year ago has been sentenced to a $4,000 fine and a $600 victim sur-charge.

Shawn Phillip Davis, 39, recently pleaded guilty in Abbotsford provincial court to possessing firearms with-out a licence.

The sentence also included a mandatory 10-year firearms prohibition.

The guns were found in Davis’ vehicle on April 28, 2013 after an examination by Canada Border Service

Agency (CBSA) officers.Davis had not declared any

firearms at the time, but did declare several knives, and he was referred for a secondary examination.

When officers informed him that his vehicle would be examined, he confessed to having 10 firearms and 48 magazines of ammunition.

“Keeping this private arse-nal and potential threat from crossing our borders into our communities exemplifies our commitment to vigilance at the borders and our dedica-tion to service excellence to all Canadians,” said Doug Mossey, chief of the Pacific region of the CBSA criminal investigations division.

These firearms were seized by Canada Border Services officers at the Abbotsford-Huntingdon crossing last April.

Questionable selection process for this survey

In the mail last week was a large white envelope, pretentiously addressed to “Business Owner/Manager Mark J Rushton.

Since it has been decades since I could be described thus, at least other than my name (without the initial), my curiosity was piqued.

The document so addressed was from BC Hydro, and related to a “service ad-dress” I have on a street other than the one on which my home is located. That “service address,” a second power meter, provides electricity to my well’s pump house.

The document is 28 pages long, and is an incredibly detailed survey of the power usage at the noted “service ad-dress.”

My first reaction, since Hydro is plead-

ing relative poverty, and on the day I wrote this increased our power bills by nine per cent, was why didn’t it send just a single sheet of paper noting a website address in which one could complete the survey? Why spend an inordinate amount of money creating the 28-page document, untold sums I assume di-gesting and collating the information provided by the customer, and mailing costs, when it all could have been done so much cheaper with a simple letter?

In addition, four “lucky” submitters of the survey will win $1,000 gift certifi-cates “to the home improvement retailer of your choice!”

The survey itself is amazingly de-tailed, wanting to know if my “service address” is a school or university, a food store, restaurant, apartment complex, a place of worship or, surprisingly, a “Non-buildings and Structures.”

Wouldn’t you think, when selecting to whom to send these surveys, Hydro (or in this case survey contractor The Mustel Group) would look at the electrical con-sumption rate of a “service address,” and realize that at about $250 a year, it is not, as some questions ask, a hospital

or shopping mall, but a fricking pump house.

And those questions are only on the first page. It goes on over dozens of ques-tions to inquire as to the structure itself, its construction, height and square foot-age; air conditioning; heating; operating hours; and, through another 20 ques-

tions, the exact type of lighting used in the structure.

For the record, my pump house is about eight feet by eight feet, has one incan-descent light bulb, one little infrared heater when winter storms hit, and a one-horsepower pump to drive water up to my house.

And when the power goes out, as it frequently does in the dead of winter I have to race down with a propane heater

to ensure nothing freezes up. And, inthe meantime, refrain from flushing thetoilet.

However, I digress.I am certain there is value in this sur-

vey to educate Hydro on the electricalconsumption of major consumers.

On the other hand, don’t you thinkthe agency and survey contractor wouldhave been a little more circumspect intheir research as to who actually useselectricity?

Just because someone has more thanone power meter, especially one regis-tering a $16 bi-monthly consumptionrate during the pleasant seasons, doesn’tmean they’re operating a hotel or manu-facturing facility.

While I’m sure in the grand scheme ofthings, this survey ultimately will be ofvalue to BC Hydro, it’s not hard to believethat the all-in cost of it is equivalent toproviding free power to my entire neigh-bourhood for year.

And on a day when my electricity ratesjumped nine per cent, I found that a bitinsulting.

A report by the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) shows that a “housing first” approach to shelter-ing the homeless is effective in ending homelessness among people with mental illness.

It also has the added benefit of saving money.

The task force on homelessness recent-ly created by Abbotsford city hall should be paying close attention. And so should the “homeless society” that’s received funding from the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association, and which is sug-gesting a “dignity village” is their primary focus.

The report studied more than 2,000 homeless Canadians with mental illness, from a variety of backgrounds, who have found housing over a two-year period through a federally funded initiative.

Housing first is a concept based on the belief that having a roof over someone’s head is the first step before addressing is-

sues of substance abuse or mental health. The report found that for every $10

invested into housing first projects, $22 were saved.

On April 1, the federal government’s $600-million Homelessness Partnering Strategy is shifting to a housing first ap-proach.

Abbotsford recently passed up $17 mil-lion in provincial funding for a housing first project in downtown Abbotsford.

Now, a task force is discussing solutions to homelessness.

The “dignity village” approach – essen-tially a sanctioned homeless camp – is a temporary solution with no next transi-tional step if the city doesn’t have a hous-ing first facility. And that does little to address the core causes of homelessness, such as mental illness and substance abuse, and their related public costs in terms of health care and social services.

Abbotsford obviously had the right idea. Now it’s a matter of getting back to it.

City was on the right track

It all could have been done so much cheaper with a simple letter.

Start building a permanent solutionReading the letter from our “classic dia-

tribist,” “Task force”in the April 4 edition of your paper by James Breckenridge, I am amazed at his knowledge of every-thing that is wrong with politicians he does not agree with.

He seems to be throwing bricks in glass houses. What I would suggest to Breckenridge is that he take the bricks and start building a permanent solution for the homeless problem.

I do agree that homelessness is a very sad problem.

Could a course of action possibly be: 1) Define the problem and the reason(s)

it exists? How many are self-caused? How many are due to mental problems? These individuals should be a high prior-ity? How many are not willing to help themselves?

2) Present three scenarios to correct the problem; one with views from the left,one from the centre and one from the right.

3) With each scenario list steps which are recommended and the possible re-sults.

4) Select the scenario he would recom-mend and explain the reason for recom-mendation. List the approximate fundingrequired for the recommended action.

As Breckenridge seems to have givenour current homeless situation a greatdeal of thought, it should not be an im-possible task to come up with a greatsolution.

And oh yes, determine a source offunding.

lettersA literacy problem

in Abbotsford?Every day we go out in Abbotsford to our beau-

tiful parks and walk our dog. There are lots of clearly worded signs posted

regarding being responsible with our animals. Even so, I regularly see people who break the simple rules of using a leash, picking up after their dog, and letting the dog go into prohibited areas such as the playground in Centennial Park.

Obviously, these people can’t read the signs. I would hate to think that they are just irrespon-sible.

Of course, these are the same people who will complain loudly when the city chooses to ban dogs from some parks for health and safety rea-sons.

I hope that someone who can read will pass this on to those who obviously can’t.

Neal Doan, Abbotsford

Task force not a panaceaRe: Homelessness task force struckYup! That’s what we do! If we don’t solve a real

problem, we just create another committee of our friends and that will do it. Yup!

That’s the way to handle the homelessness problem here. Just set up six or seven groups to come together and that gets us off the hook. But, don’t invite those irritating homeless people that keep embarrassing us.

There! Now don’t you feel better already?George Bochenek, Abbotsford

Eight officers disciplined in 2013Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News

Among the eight Abbotsford cases concluded in 2013 by the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner (OPCC) was one in which an of-ficer was found to have abused her authority when she pointed her gun at a driver who initially failed to stop for her.

The incident took place in November 2011. When the of-ficer was finally able to pull over the driver, she pointed her gun at her, forced her to the ground and placed her in handcuffs.

The OPCC found that the officer used inap-propriate language with the driver and did not provide her a rea-sonable opportunity to produce her driver’s licence.

The officer was given a written reprimand and ordered to take use-of-force training.

The case was among those listed in the OPCC’s recently re-leased year-end statisti-

cal report, which indi-cates that a total of 95 Abbotsford-related files were opened in 2013.

Of those, investiga-tions were ordered for nine.

Other Abbotsford cases that were con-cluded last year in-cluded an officer who sent an inappropriate email to co-workers and an officer who made inappropriate comments regarding another police mem-ber and a civilian em-ployee.

Each of those officers was given a written reprimand.

Another officer was given a written repri-mand and suspended without pay for 20 days for accessing police databases for purposes unrelated to his polic-ing duties, improperly disclosing information obtained as an officer, and lying during an in-terview with a profes-sional standards inves-tigator.

An officer who used unnecessary force while arresting a man and lied about it dur-ing a subsequent in-

vestigation was sus-pended without pay for 28 days.

The harshest penalty for an Abbotsford OPCC file concluded in 2013 involved an officer being fired from the force after

he got into a collision with an unmarked po-lice vehicle while off-duty and then lied to his superiors about the circumstances.

The OPCC is the agency that provides

civilian oversight of complaints by the pub-lic involving municipal police.

Curator leaves The Reach but impact will remain

Marsden aimed to bring va riety of visual art to Abbotsford Alex BUTLERAbbotsford News

Though Scott Marsden has left his position as curator at The Reach Gallery Museum, his influ-ence on the visual arts displays will be seen for years to come.

Marsden left to take up a new post with the Haida Gwaii Museum. Though often flying under the radar during his time in Abbotsford, Marsden’s diverse taste will still be evident into the future – he has booked much of the gallery’s upcoming art displays for the next few years.

When The Reach began in 2008, Marsden

took up the role of curator with a goal of creat-ing a credible regional art gallery. He has since brought in internationally recognized artists, such as Spanish romantic painter Francisco Goya, exclusive national travelling shows and exhibits centered around local artists. He said the programming at The Reach is on par with anywhere in Canada, including the large cities – but has been brought directly to a local audi-ence.

Marsden said his aim was to bring in a variety of art to represent the various aspects of the

Scott Marsden, former curator at The Reach, will return to Abbotsford for a reading by poet bill bissett that Marsden arranged.

community, including exhibits centered on the Mennonite, Sikh and First Nations communities.

Currently on display at The Reach is Clash: Conflict and Its Consequences. The display comes from the National Gallery of Canada, making its only stop in the West in Abbotsford. The exhibit explores the effect of war and trauma and the effect of mass media depictions of conflict.

Despite the international scope of the display, Marsden said it is deeply connected to the com-munity. Abbotsford has a large Mennonite popu-lation – a historically pacifistic people – and The Reach partnered with the Mennonite Central Committee for the display, which looks at the harsh side of war.

Marsden said the role of a public gallery is to encourage different ways of seeing and provoke people into new perspectives.

He said people can like or dislike the displays at The Reach and still frequently attend as the art turns over quickly, with new displays every two months.

With the limited resources all communities face, Marsden said he believes the public needs to fight for The Reach.

He said that despite ongoing controversies surrounding the construction of the public gal-lery, he said that it was the city’s decision to build the facility and now it has “a lifelong com-mitment” to support it.

He would like to see the gallery get a five-year agreement with the city for funding, ensur-ing that its fate is secure for the time being and allow the gallery to do the work it set out to – bring high-quality diverse art to the city of Abbotsford.

Marsden maintains a simple philosophy for the visual art displays, saying it is not his goal to “preach to the converted,” but rather to intro-duce the medium to those who want to learn more about art.

“All I ask people to do is look.” Marsden will return to Abbotsford for read-

ing by the poet bill bissett that coincides with an exhibition on his works, featuring a collec-tion of his art including collages, paintings and drawings.

The reading will be held at The Reach on April 19 at 1 p.m. and the exhibit will be on display from April 17 to June 29, with an opening recep-tion for the spring exhibits on April 17 at 7 p.m.

Atangard art exhibit show during Arty Awards10th annual event takes place April 12 at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium

An art exhibit by Atangard Community Project (ACP) will grace the foyer dur-ing this Saturday’s Abbotsford Arts Counci l ’s Arty Awards.

Residents and friends of the ACP will curate an Abbotsford-centr ic art exhibit depict-ing many community members to be en-joyed by attendees of the Arty Awards cel-ebration, held at the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium (MCA). This painting series is initiated by current and past residents and friends of the ACP and focuses on the universal vulner-ability of identity.

The Atangard Community Project Society is an inten-tional community residence occupy-ing the former Fraser Valley Inn in down-town Abbotsford. Formed in 2009, the project is host to a ro-tating cast of artists, students, visionaries, and young profes-sionals.

“Having Atangard’s work at the Arty Awards will add so much to the experi-ence of those attend-ing the event as well as bring awareness to the talents of these young artists,” said Gail Gromaski, arts council executive di-rector. “The unused

hanging system in the foyer and hall-ways of the MCA cre-ates an ideal opportu-nity for this art show and hopefully many more to come.”

The Arty Awards program is an arts

council initiative to honour individuals who have achieved excellence in their art as well as arts advocates who have contributed to the local arts scene. In addition to the show

and the awards, the evening’s festivities will include a cana-pés reception catered by Restaurant 62, live entertainment and a silent auction. MCA is located at 32315 South Fraser Way.

Tickets are available at artyawards2014.eventbrite.ca or at the Kariton Art Gallery (2387 Ware

St.). For more infor-mation visit abbots-fordartscouncil .org or #ArtyAwards2014. The reception and

silent auction begin at 6:30 p.m., whilethe awards and en-tertainment begin at7:30 p.m.

Donations collected for respite facilityCoffee Morning supports Matthew’s House

Matthew’s House in Abbotsford is present-ing a new initiative, called Coffee Morning, from April 22 to 27 to raise funds for its pro-grams and services.

The Coffee Morning, modelled after a suc-cessful initiative in the UK, involves people choosing a date during that week and inviting friends and colleagues for coffee.

The hosts can set up a donation page on the Matthew’s House website, where guests can donate online, or they are invited to bring their contributions on the day of the Coffee Morning and put them in the supplied dona-tion box.

Schools, businesses, churches and individu-als are among those invited to participate. Hosts are supplied with a Coffee Morning kit

that includes invita-tions, a poster, a video and brochures about Matthew’s House, a do-nation collection box, and a recipe from the

popular blog Mennonite Girls Can Cook.

Starbucks Mt. Lehman Centre will donate brewed coffee to the first 50 Coffee Morning events organized in Abbotsford in support of Matthew’s House.

Prizes will be awarded to the three groups that raise the most funds.

For more information, visit mattshouse.ca/coffeemorning or con-tact Alan Cavin at 604-850-6608.

Matthew’s House is a respite home for fami-lies who have children with complex health-care needs. It is part of the Campus of Care located on Marshall Road next to Abbotsford Regional Hospital.

Leanne Sciotti, manager for Starbucks Mt. Lehman Centre, and Alan Cavin, resource development coor-dinator for Matthew’s House, enjoy a cup of cofee. Starbucks Mt. Lehman Centre will provide free coffee for the first 50 groups that sign up to host a Coffee Morning for Matthew’s House.

Programs benefit from United Way funds

Alex BUTLERAbbotsford News

Local projects aiding youth, women and those living in poverty will benefit from the United Way of the Fraser Valley (UWFV) grants, an-nounced on Wednesday.

UWFV covers the area from Aldergrove and Mission, east to Boston Bar, and executive direc-tor Wayne Green announced almost $100,000 in funds that will go to pro-grams in the region, with many ben-efiting the Abbotsford community.

The Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley received two $13,000 grants, one to fund an out-reach worker at the Warm Zone, and another to provide counseling for women leaving transition hous-es in Abbotsford and Mission.

The Cyrus Centre in Abbotsford received $12,000 for skills develop-ment for youth living on the streets, ranging from laundry to healthy self-esteem. The program, Roofs 4 Youth Life Skills, is co-sponsored by Prospera Credit Union.

The centre also received $10,000

in funding for an expansion into Chilliwack, where a resource centre and emergency shelter for youth is in the works.

The Abbotsford Early Childhood Committee received $3,500 in funds for early childhood developmental screening to detect any delays in learning or difficulties in a child’s development.

Abbotsford Community Services (ACS) received $10,000 for Autumn House, a transitional housing for youth at risk. The money will fund a youth worker position that will help provide skills one on one and through group settings for clients.

ACS also received $3,000 for the Abbotsford Child and Youth Forum, which is a biannual forum which provides professional development for early childhood and youth ser-vice providers.

Other funds went to projects in Hope and Chilliwack.

UWFV is located in the Sweeney Neighbourhood Centre at Abbotsford Senior Secondary, 33355 Bevan Ave.

Diversity defined by how we treat othersI was told recently by

someone that as one who promotes diversity in the community, why is it that I cannot speak my heritage Punjabi language.

I was taken aback by this comment, and to clarify the situation, I am more than capa-ble of understanding Punjabi when someone is speaking it to me, but have more difficulty translating it back in a fluent manner.

I come from a gen-eration of South Asian Canadians who did not have Punjabi spoken at home or at school, which makes it ex-tremely difficult learn-ing it later in life. I love my language of heri-tage and it’s something I am pursuing to mas-ter. Also, when it comes to my name, I prefer being called Ken or by my real Punjabi name Kulwinder.

But, does that make me less of a diverse person? Absolutely not. Speaking one or several languages doesn’t com-pletely define you as a diverse person. So what makes an individual di-verse? It comes down to one common factor, which is how we treat others around us, not just how many coun-tries we have visited or how many ethnic foods we have tasted.

The language of love is one of the strongest signs of diversity. A per-son with a open heart and mind is how di-versity should be mea-sured.

Diversity is not a puz-zle and there is no sim-ple equation, because each and every one of us is at various stages of learning about diversity.

Anne-Marie Sjoden of Abbotsford said, “I love to volunteer in the com-munity and meet so many kind people from all over world. I am al-ways surprised to hear when someone makes racist remarks. Recently, I heard someone refer to an individual’s head covering in a demean-ing way. I don’t see co-lour, it doesn’t matter to me if you’re black, white or brown. You’re my friend because of who you are, it’s that simple.”

Last month, Judy Johnson of Abbotsford visited Africa as part of a local grandmoth-ers’ group called Abbotsford Gogos. She said, “I was privileged to be one of a group of 22 Canadian grand-mothers of the Stephen Lewis Foundation

Grandmothers to G r a n d m o t h e r s Campaign, who visited African grandmothers and the grassroots or-ganizations that sup-port them in Ethiopia, Rwanda and South Africa. It was an amaz-

ing opportunity to see the work that the grandmothers and the organizations are doing in the face of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, which is having such an im-pact on African coun-tries.

“Grandmothers are becoming the experts in their communities, working to support their grandchildren and other orphans, providing home care and support to those affected by the disease and advocating

for women’s rights and fair treatment.

“At a time of their lives when they had hoped to be taking it easy they are stepping up to fill the gaps left as their children have died.”

As part of her com-

mitment to this trip, Johnson is sharing her stories of the grand-mothers she encoun-tered. If you’re inter-ested in learning more about their work in Africa, feel free to con-tact her at 604-556-3919.

Psychological thriller

Abbotsford author Jason Mowbray has re-leased a new book, a psychological thriller.

“Emotional Turmoil” goes deep into the mind of the character Maurich, a man who is plagued with night-mares of a tormented boy, Charlie.

The dreams are so real that Maurich starts to question his own sanity, and he is sent out of control as the love of his life is tragically taken from him.

Maurich’s journey

encompasses two con-tinents as he tries tosolve the mystery of his missing love.

Mowbray has always had a passion for writ-ing fiction and shortstories. He is original-ly from the North of England and currently lives in Abbotsford.

He loves to travel and incorporates much ofhis life experience intohis writing.

Emotional Turmoil is available online at cre-atespace.com/4737303 or at amazon.ca.

Author Jason Mowbray has released a new book.

If you’re adding a circuit, moving an outlet or need some rewiring in

your home, you need a . . .

“Snake Charmer!”

For all your home’s electrical service, repairs or installations, call the company you can trust.Your safety, security and peace of mind are always our priority.

Our guys have spent their professional careers magically running cable in places where others say it’s impossible. And they do it without creating large gaping holes in your walls, so there’s never extensive “surprise” patching needed. I can tell you from experience, that 99.9% of electricians do not have this same track record.

Most electrical contractors are clueless about snaking wires professionally, because the majority of their work is in new homes, before the drywall goes up. Let one of them (or the cable TV guy) run wiring in your home, and they’ll most likely staple it along a baseboard (ugly and unprofessional) or punch a hole in your wall, causing you, additional, inconvenience and expense in repairs and repainting.On the other hand, our guys are masters at hiding wires in your walls.

In addition to possessing almost superhuman snake charming skills, Blue Crest Electric technicians are:

On time. We guarantee we’ll arrive within the 2 hour window of your appointment.

Friendly, helpful, trustworthy professionals. I don’t hire anyone I wouldn’t have work inside my own home. Check out our Safety Seal below at www.mysafetyseal.com.

Neat, clean and uniformed for safety and security.

Trained in true customer service, not just lip service.

Top-notch troubleshooters who specialize in saving you time and money.

Fully outfi tted with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and a huge inventory of parts. We arrive ready to solve your electrical problem.

That’s the reputation our electricians have earned

because of the creative and effi cient manner in which

they “snake” electrical wiring through existing walls.

Top prospect Baertschi heating upNamed AHL player of week after offensive explosion vs. Rockford

Dan KINVIGAbbotsford News

As he hits the home stretch of a trying season, Sven Baertschi sud-denly has the Midas touch.

But he insists there’s no magic to it.

The 21-year-old left winger from Switzerland, coming off a career-high five-point outing in the Abbotsford Heat’s 6-3 win over the Rockford IceHogs last Friday, notched another goal and assist on Saturday as the Heat completed a weekend sweep of the IceHogs by a 5-3 count.

Baertschi’s explosion drew league-wide notice – on Monday, he was named the AHL player of

Heat on verge of clinching playoff berththe week.

Baertschi, one of the Calgary Flames’ blue-chip prospects, dealt with bitter dis-appointment in mid-December when the Flames demoted him

to Abbotsford, accom-panied by a pointed critique of his two-way play from acting GM and president of hockey operations Brian Burke.

It took him awhile to find his offensive rhythm upon joining

the Heat – he mustered just two goals and two assists over his first 15 games.

Baertschi has been scorching hot of late, though, having racked up eight goals and 10 assists in his past 12

contests.But pressed after

Saturday’s game as to whether he’s made ad-justments or seen his game blossom in any respect, he said it’s just been a matter of staying persistent and playing

to his strengths.“I just kept playing

the same way I always play and try to create some offence, and lately the puck’s been going in,” said Baertschi, the Flames’ first-round draft choice (13th over-all) in 2011.

“Every puck I touched (on Friday), when I gave it to somebody, it went in right away. . . . I haven’t had a game like that in a long time.

“For me, it’s been a tough year in a lot of ways, but now I’ve got my confidence back and I feel like I’ve been play-ing pretty well lately. The points are just bo-

nuses.”Heat head coach

Troy Ward attributed Baertschi’s surge to a pair of factors – a shift from right wing back to his natural position on the left, and being slotted on a line with a right-hand-ed playmaking centre in Corban Knight.

Riding shotgun with the duo vs. Rockford was gritty right winger Tim Miller, and the unit combined for all six goals – including a hat trick from Knight – in Friday’s win.

“You can tell the tal-ent those two have,” Miller said. “It’s my job to play physical, try to

create room for them.”The Heat also got a

productive outing fromBlair Jones on Saturday– he registered a goaland two assists in his return after missing nine games with un-specified injuries.

Abbotsford (39-25-7,85 points) sits in fifthplace in the Western Conference, and are onthe verge of clinching a playoff berth.

They host the Oklahoma City Barons onFriday (7 p.m.) and Sunday(1 p.m.) at the AbbotsfordEntertainment and SportsCentre in their final regu-lar season home gamesof the campaign.

The Heat’s Josh Jooris and Ben Street put the clamps on Rockford IceHogs defence-man Klas Dahlbeck during Friday’s 6-3 victory.

As a parent, how do you know what skills and knowledge are really important for school success? Should you be teaching letters? What is more important for developing printing: playing with cars on the fl oor or practicing letter formation? Kindergarten teachers & community partners in Abbotsford are having open houses at local schools. Please join us!

Parents, and their children born in 2009 or 2010 are invited to come to a Ready, Set, Learn (‘RSL’) event at their neighbourhood school. Every child will be given a bag of learning supplies. Parents will be given resources and ideas about how to support their child in using these materials.

Please contact your neighbourhood school to register for the RSL session at that school. Some schools are doing a series of activities to support our early learners and more information is available at your school. One of the most important things you can do to make sure that your child is success-ful at school, is to be involved! (Note: some schools have already held their RSL event.)

How do you prepare yourPreschooler for School?

Virtanen rises to No. 6 in draft rankingsAbbotsford hockey

prospect Jake Virtanen saw his stock rise in the latest NHL Central Scouting rankings.

Virtanen was No. 9 in the Central Scouting midterm ranking of North American skaters released in mid-January, and he jumped up to No. 6 in the final edition re-leased on Tuesday.

The 6’1”, 208-pound winger is coming off a terrific sophomore sea-son with the Calgary Hitmen of the Western

Hockey League. The 17-year-old racked up 45 goals and 26 assists

for 71 points in 71 reg-ular season games, to go with a +23 rating

and 100 penalty min-utes. His goal-scoring total was tops on the Hitmen and sixth over-all in the WHL.

Virtanen projects as a prototypical power forward, and he was rated No. 1 out of 40 players during on-ice testing at the CHL Top Prospects Game in January. He registered the top time in both the 30-metre forward sprint (3.92 seconds) and the 30-metre back-ward sprint (4.55 sec-onds).

Abbotsford’s Jake Virtanen is coming off a terrific 45-goal season with the Calgary Hitmen.

Happy Vaisakhi

ufv.ca/40

Keith MorganBLACK PRESS

Enjoy the joyful street party that is Vaisakhi, but spend a little time ponder-ing what it truly celebrates.

That would be the heart-felt wish of Harinder Singh, the co-founder and chief executive officer of the Sikh Research Institute (SRI), which operates in Canada, the United States and the UK.

“Its original intent was that of a harvesting festival, but there is much more to it than that. It is important to the entire community, not just Sikhs,” explains Singh, whose family moved to the United States in 1984.

Vaisakhi also celebrates the establishment in 1699 of the Khalsa (which trans-lates to “sovereign free”) – the collective body of all initiated Sikhs.

“An open invitation went out at the time to every South Asian to attend the big party and tens of thou-sands came. It did not mat-ter what religion they were; people from every back-ground were welcome. It was a celebration of the belief that the divine guar-antees freedoms and that love and justice are the only ways to solve problems. We should ensure that govern-ment or authority should not seek to take away our

freedoms but work for the good of the community.”

Singh says he reminds Sikhs regularly that their religion’s founders were not solving exclusively Sikh problems, but solving com-munity problems.

“We must talk about how the doctrine is going to provide solutions for all and that’s important conversation to have the whole community.”

SRI is not a religious insti-tution but an organization that looks at doctrine and traditions with a view to understanding their rel-evance to 2014. It was formed to develop edu-cational programs, partic-

ularly for North AmericanSikhs, to help them betterunderstand their heritageand values.

Singh’s final word onVaisakhi: “This social cele-bration becomes so muchmore powerful if the ideabehind it is also embracedby those that participate.”

Love of game leads to Hall of FameGrey Cup winner Rob Lazeo battled through

adversity to forge 14-year CFL careerDan KINVIGAbbotsford News

Over the course of a 14-year career in the Canadian Football League, Rob Lazeo picked up some pretty cool souvenirs.

He’s the proud owner of a Grey Cup ring, earned in 2008 as a member of the Calgary Stampeders. And in his living room, the offen-sive lineman has a cou-ple of game balls on dis-play, including one from

a July 24, 2010 game in which his Stamps rushed for 247 yards in a 40-20 victory over one of his former teams, the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Lazeo also lives with other less-thrilling me-mentoes of his playing days, in the form of per-sistent pain in basically any joint you can name.

But the 41-year-old Abbotsford native doesn’t carry an ounce of regret on his massive

frame (he was listed at 6’5”, 310 pounds during his final season with the Stamps). While playing a game for a living can start to feel like a grind for many pro athletes, Lazeo’s childhood pas-sion for football never waned.

“My knees are shot, my back is sore, elbows, neck, you name it,” he said with a chuckle dur-ing an interview with The News last week, in advance of his upcom-ing induction into the Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame.

“But man, it’s just an honour (to play pro foot-ball). I always looked at it like, we’re just so lucky to do this. You get to act like children and run around and hit people for a living. It was great. I never wanted it to end.”

Lazeo’s lengthy pro career is a marvel in light of all he had to en-dure to make it happen.

Heading into his Grade 12 year at Abbotsford Senior, Lazeo was a blue-chip prospect and was recruited by a who’s-who of NCAA programs – USC, UCLA, Notre Dame, Washington, Washington State and Hawaii were among the schools that expressed interest.

But after the Panthers’ first game of the sea-son in Richmond, Lazeo went to push open the front door of the school, and the glass shattered and his arms went right through. His right tri-cep was completely severed, and while he narrowly avoiding cata-strophic nerve damage, he missed the balance of the season and all of his big-time NCAA suit-ors lost interest.

Lazeo managed to land a scholarship from Western Illinois University, where he resurrected his career and was drafted by the Roughriders. But during his junior season, he suffered a torn nerve in his neck on an awkward hit. It left him unable to lift his left arm over his head, and doctors told him that the odds of the nerve healing and regaining full use of his arm was slim to none. His football career ap-peared to be over.

Miraculously, the nerve healed and after a redshirt season, Lazeo returned to the gridiron for his senior year.

After finishing his eligibility at Western

Illinois in 1995-96, Lazeojoined the Roughriders,but he was cut in train-ing camp and spentthe season working ata lumberyard back in Abbotsford. But he kepttraining, earned a rosterspot in Saskatchewan in1997, and stayed in theCFL for 14 seasons.

“There’s been some challenges,” Lazeo ac-knowledged. “But I never had the quit inme, if that makes sense. Every time I got hurt, I was coming back –it didn’t matter. I waslike that all the waythrough.”

Lazeo played themajority of his pro ca-reer with Saskatchewan,spending a combined eight seasons in Reginaover two stints, with atwo-year run with theWinnipeg Blue Bombersin between.

The Roughriderstraded Lazeo to Calgaryprior to the 2007 season,and it was there thathe had his greatest suc-cess, both individuallyand team-wise.

In 2008, he was a West Division all-star at centre, and was theStamps’ nominee forthe CFL’s outstanding lineman of the year award. Calgary cappedthat season by beating the Montreal Alouettes22-14 in the 96th GreyCup at Montreal’sOlympic Stadium.

Following the 2010 campaign, his last in theCFL, Lazeo was the win-ner of the Presidents’ Ring, which goes to the Stampeders player whobest combines excel-lence on the footballfield with off-field lead-ership.

When Lazeo retired, only two CFL players – Montreal QB AnthonyCalvillo and B.C. Lionskicker Paul McCallum –were older.

These days, he andhis family make theirhome in Abbotsford,and he works alongside several of his former Stampeders teammateswith GridIron Drilling Services, an Alberta-based company in theoil and gas industry.

Lazeo and commu-nity sport builder Liz Carter are being induct-ed into the Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame in a ceremony on April 26 at the Legacy Building atExhibition Park. Tickets are available through Hub Fire Engines (phone604-859-3124, [email protected]).

Rob Lazeo, who will be inducted into the Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame later this month, displays some of the mementoes of his CFL career, including an ‘08 Grey Cup ring.
