Police warn of indecent acts

Civil forfeiture claim filed against Abbotsford grow-op home

Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News

An Abbotsford home is the subject of a civil forfei-ture claim in B.C. Supreme Court, with the provincial government alleging the residence was purchased with the proceeds of crime.

The three-storey home is located at 3302 Siskin Drive and is registered to Iqbal Singh Gill, Sarmukh Singh Gill and Harbans Kaur Gill, who purchased the property in May 2003, according to the notice of civil claim.

The director of civil forfeiture alleges the two-storey garage of the home was used as a marijuana grow-op from the time of the purchase until March 2011.

Proceeds from the sale of marijuana were used toward the home’s down payment, mortgage, prop-erty taxes, improvements and maintenance, the claim states.

The home was busted by Abbotsford Police on March 17 of this year and was allegedly found to contain more than 1,000 marijuana plants, 52 lights, a hand-gun, a submachine gun, an assault rifle, ammunition, $4,000 in cash and a device

for obtaining electricity without it being metered.

The B.C. Civil Forfeiture Act was passed in 2006, per-mitting the provincial gov-ernment to apply to court to obtain property that was obtained through criminal activity.

If a judge decides a prop-erty must be forfeited, it can then be sold and the proceeds used by the government for victim compensation, crime pre-vention activities, crime remediation activities, and administration of the act.

Two homes in Abbotsford that housed grow-ops were seized by the government in 2007 – one on Simpson Road and the other on Willet. They were sold, the mortgages paid off, and $230,000 was paid to the government.

A 2004 Hummer H2 that was seized from a Victoria man who was convicted of drug and weapon offences has been used by the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) since February for anti-gang messaging.

The vehicle was trans-formed into the black-and-white theme of the APD. Police lights and a “skin” of anti-crime graphics and messages were added.

Last year, the civil for-feiture office concluded 74 cases and secured 18 prop-erties, six vehicles and 56 sums of cash, according to the provincial government.

Since Jan. 1 of this year, police have referred 60 new files, and more than 200 cases are ongoing. The net value of those assets is $22.6 million.


Abbotsford Police are warning the public about two men who exposed themselves to four young girls and a senior woman, in three separate incidents.

The first two reports took place at Rotary Stadium in the 32400 block of Haida Drive.

One was on Saturday, March 5 at 4 p.m., when a man exposed himself to two nine-year-old girls who were not with any adults.

The other was on Sunday, April 24 at 5:30 p.m., and the two victims, ages nine and 11, were also on their own.

In both instances, the suspect was described as Indo-Canadian, in his late 20s, 5’ 8” to 5’ 10”, and weighing between 180 and 200 pounds.

Const. Ian MacDonald said police have identified a suspect and have given him a warning.

“We don’t have enough evidence at this point to charge ... Identification has been a bit of an issue,” he said.

The third incident was on Thursday, May 5 at about 5:45 p.m., when a 75-year-old woman was walking in the 2400 block of Countess Street.

A Caucasian man in a vehicle described as a newer black sedan asked her for the time. When the woman

turned to respond, she noticed the man was fon-dling himself and was grinning at her.

The victim told him she was going to call police, and he drove away.

That man is described as 30 to 40 years old, about 200 pounds, with short brown receding hair and pale skin.

MacDonald said these incidents are concerning because of the potential for them to escalate to something more serious.

“These are bad guys that we would very much like to bring in.”

He cautioned parents to supervise their children. Anyone with information is asked to call the Abbotsford Poice at 604-859-5225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

This home on Siskin Drive was raided in March by Abbotsford police, and allegedly contained a grow-op in the two-storey garage. The provincial government has launched forfeiture proceedings.

MEDAL OFBRAVERY

An Abbotsford man was among 42 people who received Medals of Bravery last Friday from Gov. Gen. David Johnston at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. Art Unruh received the medal for his role in rescuing a fellow fisherman who was being attacked by a black bear in Port Renfrew, B.C. on Sept. 9, 2008. Four others were also honoured for assisting in the rescue: Jared Gagen of Cobble Hill, Warren Miller of Victoria, Edward Stirling of Ladysmith and William Watt of Victoria. The group attacked the bear after it climbed into the victim’s boat. The injured animal collapsed, and the victim was rushed to hospital and survived.

CLOTHING DRIVERick Hansen Secondary is holding a clothing drive to raise money for its dry grad celebrations this year.Garbage bags filled with clothing, fabric, curtains, shoes, lines and accessories can be dropped off at the school (31150 Blueridge Drive) during school hours until May 31. Items dropped off after that time will go to support dry grad events for future years. The items will be turned over to Big Brothers Big Sisters, which will donate a small sum to the school for each bag. The dry grad committee is also collecting Canadian Tire money to help purchase gifts and prizes for the grads.

STUDENTS CHOSEN

Two Abbotsford students have been selected from among more than 1,000 applicants across Canada to attend the award-winning Shad Valley program in July 2011.

Iconic oily fish nears extinctionJeff NAGELBlack Press

The Fraser River eulachon, an oily smelt-like fish prized by First Nations, has been designated an endangered species after a 98 per cent decline in its numbers over the past decade.

The listing was made by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC), which warns the outlook is “grim” for the small iconic fish that may be nearing extinction.

Eulachon, also spelled oolichan, is dubbed saviour fish by some aboriginals who counted on it to bridge over gaps in the salmon catch and candlefish by others, because they’re so oily they can be dried and burned like candles.

Some B.C. First Nations

rendered eulachon down into a grease that was carried vast distances along historic “grease trails – pre-contact trade routes that connected coastal and inland villages.

“There used to be millions of them,” Sto:lo fishery advi-sor Ernie Crey said. “But they’re just not there any more.”

COSEWIC cites a mix of potential culprits for the precipitous drop in eulachon stocks, including changing environmental conditions affecting marine survival, predators and fishing.

Crey points to boats in the offshore shrimp trawl fish-ery, which pull up eulachon as a bycatch along with their shrimp.

“They just jettison them overboard as waste,” he said.

Neil CORBETTAbbotsford News

Some 24,000 people in the Fraser Valley, from Langley to Hope, took part in a telephone town hall event about the HST on Tuesday night, with Finance Minister Kevin Falcon fielding questions.

Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen was one of those on the line, and was impressed by the technology.

“Twenty-four thousand peo-ple can listen directly to the minister of finance, and listen to real live people asking ques-tions, and get answers straight from him,” he said. “It’s a great system.”

There were numerous ques-tions about the impacts of the tax on different groups, from seniors, to those on low income and middle class families. A mother asked about children’s clothing, and people had ques-tions about the tax’s impacts

on their business – from the film industry, to construction to funeral homes.

Callers were generally on “listen only” status, but could use their keypad to have their questions vetted through moderators. They could also leave voicemail questions to be answered at a later date.

“I believe it was very helpful, and very effective,” said van Dongen.

“Kevin (Falcon) was really on his game. He knows his stuff, and he was very up-front.”

Falcon took ques-tions for about 90 minutes.

Van Dongen said the public needs to be educated about the topic. He acknowledges there are pros and cons to the HST, and people should know them before voting in a mail-in ballot that begins in June.

“The government is making it very clear – it will respect whatever decision the public makes,” said van Dongen.

He said the tax will cost the average family an additional $350 per year. It will simplify taxation for business and gov-ernment, generate 24,000 jobs and create government revenue to pay for services.

Van Dongen said that if the HST is eliminated, the govern-ment will repay $1.6 billion in incentives already provided

by the federal gov-ernment. That, com-bined with loss of two years worth of additional revenue from the tax, would cost the province almost $3 billion over the next two years, he said.

However, he said the public has been given the right to say no to the tax, and tell the government to “figure out its own finances.”

“It’s an important vote for everyone,” he said. “If people vote to go back to the PST, it’s a massive reorganization.”

Political pundits, including Black Press columnist Tom Fletcher, predict the govern-

ment will drop the tax another percentage point, to 11 per cent.

Van Dongen noted other prov-inces are at 13 per cent, and Nova Scotia is at 15 per cent.

Dropping from 12 to 11 per cent would cost $850 million.

“That is a huge amount of money … $850 million goes out the window, and it has to come from somewhere, or we have to reduce services.”

Ben Besler said the telephone town hall reaffirmed his con-viction to vote against the tax.

Besler was the regional repre-sentative for Fight HST, before leaving the group because it became partisan.

He said the phone event was a great exercise in democra-cy, but the process generally favoured the point of view of the organizing government.

“It reaffirmed what we all know – that there are no pres-ent benefits. It’s simply a tax grab,” said the Chilliwack resi-dent.

For more information about the HST, and to see the report of the Independent Panel on the HST, see the website hstin-bc.ca.

Public needs to be educated: van Dongen

Prized by early First Nations people as an important food source, eulachon numbers have dropped 98 per cent in the last decade.

Other Global arenas in red inkNeil CORBETTAbbotsford News

They’re not losing as much as Abbotsford, but two other communities that recently built arenas and contracted Global Spectrum to operate the facilities are also recording red ink.

The South Okanagan Events Centre (SOEC) in Penticton had a $1.8-million deficit this year, compared to $2.2 million in its first year of operation.

The 7,000-seat Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC) had a shortfall of $2.6 million in 2009, rising to $3.4 million in 2010, including $1.2 million in payments to the AHL Heat under a supply fee contract.

City of Penticton chief administra-tive officer Annette Antoniak said the situation in Penticton is slightly differ-ent than Abbotsford, because a trade and convention centre is also part of

the SOEC picture, and such centres are generally viewed as costing money to generate business.

“They run at a loss,” said Antoniak. “They’re created to generate economic spinoff for the community.”

She said the city shares in the expenses to stage performances at the SOEC, and has become very selective about what acts are booked. Carrie Underwood was a financial success, and country acts are generally considered a safe bet. Abbotsford rock band Hedley gave the SOEC a profitable night, and the facil-ity is hosting Cirque du Soleil, as is Abbotsford on June 2.

However, the rock band Kiss, also appearing in Abbotsford, was not booked in Penticton. Staff felt the ticket prices would be so high they might not sell enough to cover considerable expenses.

Doug Leahy, Penticton’s chief financial

officer, said he expects the SOEC will generally be subsidized to the tune of $1.5 to $1.6 million for the foreseeable future. However, he said it will also gen-erate millions for the city in economic spinoffs.

Dawson Creek’s arena subsidy rose in its third year of operation. The 4,500-seat EnCana Events Centre had a deficit of $1.6 million its first year in 2008, dropped to $1.3 million in 2009, and rose to $1.5 million last year.

Jim Chute, Dawson Creek’s chief administrative officer, said last year’s figures were down, both for the number of events at the building, and the profit per event.

With Junior A hockey coming to the building, the Dawson Creek Rage of the North American Hockey League, Chute is projecting better years. He noted the team also brought some added expenses

such as changeroom upgrades, and net-ting around the arena.

And, the team is going to be subsidized by the city for its first three seasons – $250,000 the first year, $200,000 the second and $175,000 for the third.

Dawson Creek is a 10-minute drive to the Alberta border, and shoppers travel there for lower taxes. The EnCana Events Centre is intended to reverse that flow of traffic. Estimates have put the economic benefit as high as $10 million per year.

Kiss will be performing there – selling out in 22 minutes.

As to Global Spectrum’s performance – it’s meeting expectations, he said.

Like his Penticton counterpart, Chute also expects the City of Dawson Creek to be subsidizing the EnCana Events Centre for years.

“The original plan at opening was to get to break-even in 10 years.”

Neil CORBETTAbbotsford News

A late-season surge in attendance offers hope that the Abbotsford Heat may not always to be a drain on city coffers, said Abbotsford Mayor George Peary.

Under a 10-year supply fee contract with the team, the city paid the Heat AHL hockey team $450,000 to cover revenue shortfalls in its first year of operation, with that projected to rise to $724,000 for year two. The deal guarantees the team $5.7 million in annual revenue. If the club doesn’t generate that amount, the city pays the difference.

Mayor George Peary said he expected to see growth begin in the second year, not an increased payment.

“Of course, I’m disappointed.”However, he said the second financial year did not

take in the entire season, leaving out all games after Dec. 31, 2010, or 21 games. And many of those games were marked by higher attendance.

The difference, said Peary, was city staff helping with marketing efforts, reaching out to schools and Abbotsford Minor Hockey, specifically.

The result was crowds significantly larger than the team had been drawing, said Peary.

The Heat averaged 3,807 fans per game last season

overall, which was 26th in the American Hockey League. It was also down from 3,897 in the team’s first year.

But attendance stats show that the Heat averaged 4,414 fans over their final eight home games in March and April.

The number of paid seats, as opposed to those filled via complimentary tickets, is expected to be released by the team in June. Four thousand paying fans is considered a break-even point for the club.

“We’re getting the fans out, getting people enthusias-tic about hockey – we continue to beat the drum,” said Peary.

Habitat damage eyed

“I’m still convinced they can make it.”In its first season, the team blamed

losses on having to compete against the Olympics and low commercial sales – which got off to a late start that year.

Last year, the team knew to expect the unexpected, said Heat president Tom Mauthe.

“There’s a thing called a sophomore year, and you never know what effect it’s going to have.”

He explained a new sport franchise enjoys some “trendiness” in its first year of operation, but by the second year that

can wear off.“Now we’ll know where the waterline

is – our core business,” said Mauthe. “We’ll grow the business.”

He said the team will generally stay the course, but spend more efforts in “sampling” initiatives, introducing new fans to the game.

“People who attend the games like us,” he said.

He said a key area for growth is Mission and the north side of the Fraser.

“It is our goal that we’re going to grow,” said Mauthe. “We have a very loyal, com-mitted fan base, and we’re committed to

growing that fan base.”Mauthe said the team found the fre-

quent back-to-back games a challenge. Abbotsford is the western outpost of the east-based league, so all home games are booked back-to-back in order to cut back travel costs. But often hockey fans showed a preference to attend one game or the other, but not both.

Coun. Bill MacGregor is the former president of the Abbotsford Air Force junior football team. Although the first-term councillor has expressed discon-tent with city budget increases in his comparatively short time in office, he

still has patience for the Heat.He said the keys to financial success

are to offer a good calibre of hockey, keepscheduling away from conflicts with theVancouver Canucks, and make the play-offs.

“I think it’s going to come around,”said MacGregor. “You don’t go forwardby looking backward.”

“We’re in it. We have to make sure thatthe sports centre continues to progress,”he added.

The city is preparing a financial reporton the Heat, separate from the arena,which will be made public.

‘Trendiness’ of first year can wear off: Heat president

“Theres no market for them so there’s no inter-est in them.”

He also suspects eula-chon have been hurt by habitat damage along the lower Fraser from indus-trial activity.

Log booms on the lower river grind up bark and deposit it on the river bot-tom, covering spawning habitat, he said.

Channel dredging, boat traffic, municipal sewage and chemical contami-nants from farmland may also be factors, he said.

COSEWIC’s decision will go to the federal envi-

ronment minister, who will consider whether to also designate eulachon under Canada’s Species at Risk Act (SARA).

Crey said a listing under SARA would force the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to take a hard look at fisheries that threaten eulachon, as well as sources of habitat damage, and potentially force corrective action.

Eulachon populations on the central coast are now also rated endan-gered by COSEWIC, although ones further north in the Skeena and Nass Rivers are only con-

sidered “threatened.”One bright spot in the

committee’s findings was that the humpback whale, considered threat-ened since 1985, has made a steady comeback and is now being downgraded to a “special concern” – a lower risk category.

An estimated 18,000 humpbacks now live in the North Pacific and the population is growing by around six per cent a year.

Humpbacks had been hunted to the edge of ex-tinction but rebounded after whaling ended in 1967.

From A5 Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News

An Abbotsford man has been sentenced to a four-year jail term in connection to a stabbing last August near the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC).

Gurparit Gill, 31, pleaded guilty and was sentenced Tuesday in Abbotsford provin-cial court. His co-accused, Herman Sidhu, 20, and Bhavdeep Deol, 21, are next sched-uled to appear Aug. 8.

Sidhu also faces a charge of failure to provide a breath sample on the day of the offence.

The charges are related to an incident on Aug. 22 on the roadway between Finnegan’s Pub and the AESC in the 33700 block of King Road.

Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said a dispute allegedly started inside the pub between the victim and Gill, Sidhu

and Deol, and got physical when theywent outside. Later reports indicated theassault was random, and the 24-year-oldvictim was attacked as he left the pub. Hewas punched, kicked and stabbed threetimes in his arms and torso.

The three accused allegedly left the scenein a black Honda Civic. They were stoppedby police in the vicinity of Albert DyckPark on Walmsley Avenue.

The victim recovered in hospital, andthe trio were arrested and charged inNovember.

In addition to the aggravated assaultcharge, Gill pleaded guilty to possessionof a restricted firearm with ammunition.That offence occurred Oct. 3 after policeresponded to a report of yelling and thesound of gunshots coming from a homein the 3100 block of Osprey Drive. Gill wassentenced to 2.3 years on that offence.

Four years for stabbing

Populist HST ‘fix’ coming soon

Premier Christy Clark’s shifting posi-tion on the harmonized sales tax fi nally appears to have come to rest.

Her government is preparing to “fi x the HST,” and the terms of that fi x will be made available before people mark their ballots in a mail-in vote in June, Clark told reporters at the legislature last week.

There has been a fl urry of activity on the HST in recent days, and a few things are becoming clear. Clark and Finance Minister Kevin Falcon are preparing to do what I’ve been saying for months the government must do – make a solemn vow to cut the HST rate to 11 per cent as soon as they can.

And in keeping with Clark’s fondness for populist, headline-hunting gestures, the government will also likely rebate the HST on bicycles and bicycle helmets,

and possibly fi tness club memberships as well.

A couple of other “family-fi rst” exemptions may also be gleaned from the town halls, online surveys and poll-ing that are currently going on.

A well-known polling fi rm was in the fi eld last week, asking not only about people’s impressions of their new premier and opposition leader, but also their view towards a reduction in the HST rate. Win or lose the mail-in refer-endum on the tax in June or July, the B.C. Liberals are getting ready for a fall general election.

Falcon estimates that cutting one point from the HST would cost the provincial treasury $850 million. Given that revenue from the HST is running well ahead of the fi nance ministry’s estimates, that fi gure could be low.

The government’s independent panel issued its report last week, and it con-fi rms that the HST is bringing in more revenue than expected. Going back to the PST would not only trigger huge costs of paying back federal transition funds and reconstructing a provincial sales tax offi ce, it would cost the B.C.

government more than $500 million in net revenue in the fi rst year, and more after that.

Here’s one reason why HST revenue is higher than originally projected. Contrary to the apocalyptic predictions of some in the restaurant industry, the

panel compiled Statistics Canada fi gures and found that B.C. restaurant sales rose by three per cent in the fi rst seven months of the HST. That’s exactly the same increase as the rest of the country, despite the supposedly crushing effect of the tax and B.C.’s new impaired driv-ing regulations.

Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Minis-ter Pat Bell has pitched in as a host for

the telephone town hall program that continued this week. These giant confer-ence calls were to be staged Tuesday eve-ning in the Okanagan, Fraser Valley andnorthern and central Vancouver Island. The program wraps up Thursday evening with calls to Richmond, South Delta, the North Shore, Victoria and Vancouver.

Bell said his call for the Interior and North Coast had more than 30,000 peopleon the line. Some were still upset about the HST, while others had misconcep-tions about what costs it does and doesn’t increase, he said. And lifting the tax from bicycles was a popular choice.

I continue to get e-mails from people who are misinformed about the HST. One reader said he is paying it on heat-ing oil. I suggested he check his bill again, and there it was, a rebate for the seven-per-cent provincial portion. The GST applied before and it continues to apply now.

These telephone town halls have gone a long way towards putting the discus-sion on a factual basis. Voters may yet bepersuaded to keep the HST.

tfl [email protected]

Finally, some reasonable and con-structive discourse on the Harmonized Sales Tax.

The fact that some 24,000 Fraser Val-ley people took the time to listen and ask questions last night during the gov-ernment’s town hall phone conference on the HST, is extremely encouraging.

Since the HST was introduced by the Liberal government last year, the lead-ing elements in public discussion were anger, and a great deal of ignorance.

It’s understandable that voters felt betrayed. The Liberals did a remark-ably poor job of communicating the looming tax reform prior to the last election.

And it was looming. With Atlantic Canada moving to the HST, followed by Ontario, it would eventually be a mat-ter of when B.C. adopted the new tax structure, rather than if.

It’s unfortunate in the extreme that the policy was rolled out the way it was, since there is much about the HST that makes good economic sense.

It eliminates hidden PST, which is often multi-layered on goods and ser-vices. It streamlines business account-ing, and it encourages corporate investment.

As much as some people chafe at the concept, a strong economy and fl our-ishing businesses translate into jobs and prosperity.

As for the additional costs of some goods and services, estimated to aver-age about $350 for a typical family, it should be remembered that personal income taxes have been lowered in B.C. by about 35 per cent since 2001.

That has had a substantial, ongoing benefi cial impact for taxpayers.

It’s time for people to move past the political and emotional rhetoric, and on to understanding the long-term implications of this tax reform as it applies to the provincial economy.

Residents will vote on the HST in June.

It’s imperative that the process be an informed one.

More information needed to make P3 decisionI attended the

Abbotsford council meeting on April 18, and observed the proceedings on the P3 Stave Lake water proj-ect. The council voted in the majority (two councillors against) to pursue a P3 funding application.

What I found per-turbing was how little understanding the councillors and mayor displayed of the major issues surrounding a

project which is prob-ably the most expen-sive financial under-taking in the history of Abbotsford.

Issues such as how much it will cost over the long term. Critics of this project indi-cate that it will cost the public much more in the long term to have a private contrac-tor operate the new facility. Other issues include account-ability, control, and

flexibility and inter-national trade agree-ments.

If an issue arises where there is a con-flict between public safety and profit, how can we be sure that the company priori-ties such as profit will not come first?

Some services are more amenable to privatization, but not water – it’s one of those services that should never be privatized,

even for a temporary time frame.

I have some experi-ence in managing con-tracts and can say that the longer the contract, the more difficult it is to maintain adher-ence to contract stan-dards. I don’t believe a 25-year contract is in the best interests of Abbotsford taxpayers.

I attended the Mission council meet-ing on the same issue, and noted they turned

down the option of pursuing a P3 funding application, mainly on the basis there was almost no public sup-port.

Why do Mayor George Peary and Abbotsford council think they know bet-ter than the public on this issue?

The private consul-tant report supporting the P3 application was an 11-page summary with few details.

How can Mayor Peary and those council members who supported him make a decision on a quarter-billion dollar develop-ment and think it’s in the best interests of the public with so few facts available?

Another disturbing aspect was that one of the two Abbotsford

councillors who voted against sending in an application for funding noted that there was a gentle-man’s agreement between Abbotsford and Mission council representatives that one would not proceed without the other council’s support.

Should this agree-ment not be honoured, especially since the Stave Lake project would require that water supply lines would travel through Mission? I think Mayor Peary should be pursuing a collab-orative approach with Mission rather than taking the route of we will do it ourselves.

One last point on this subject is that the P3 funding application does not guarantee

Abbotsford taxpayerswill receive any fund-ing, and if funding isapproved, it could be inthe form of an outrightgrant, repayable grantor interest-free loan(reference Deloitte &Touche business casesummary).

I believe more infor-mation needs to comeout before Abbotsfordtaxpayers can makean informed decision.Surely there are othergovernment fundsavailable to assist withfinancing as opposedto putting all our hopein a dubious P3 appli-cation.

Mayor Peary’s posi-tion of “trust me,I know what I amdoing,” is difficult toaccept with so muchmoney and compli-cated issues involved.

Thanks for safe celebrationsI want to say a huge, public thank-you to the

members and volunteers of the Abbotsford Police Department who spend hours on end standing on South Fraser Way amid all the horn honking, cheering and flag waving after a Vancouver Canucks playoff victory, to make sure everyone behaves themselves.

This is a tradition that goes back at least as far as the ’94 cup run – I should know, I was cruising South Fraser Way then, too.

And I hope it’s one that continues.

It is great fun to be able to go out and celebrate as part of a crowd.

I’ve been out driving the strip many times, as well as standing and cheering on South Fraser Way.

Thanks for helping keep game night celebra-tions a safe, family outing that my daughters and I can continue to look forward to every game night!

Go Canucks, go!Shelley Godwin

I understand that China offers excellent business opportunities and that the moral decision to pursue them would be difficult in light of China’s poor human rights record, serious environmental problems, the Tibet issue, its continued involvement in the endangered animal trade of rhino horns, elephant tusks, tiger skins, shark fins, etc., and many other problems.

One can only hope the members of Abbotsford’s trade delegation have at least given this some thought.

Re: Drop in home-less.

With regard to the increase in homeless in Hope, one reason for the increase is the shelter that was opened there – the homeless have a place to go. In Abbotsford, you can only stay at the Salvation Army for a few days, and other shelters only open when it’s cold.

The reason for the drop is, the homeless go someplace else where they can get help such as Hope or Vancouver. They get more meals and shel-ters for longer stays, we have a drop here not due to increased services but better services elsewhere.

So don’t pat yourself on the back – take a better look at the rea-sons for the drop. To have a complete drop in homeless, end the food and shelter totally.

farm that was part of the homestead of her grandfather, Richard Peardon.

She attended school at Peardonville, Mt. Lehman Superior (now known as Dunach) and Philip Sheffield.

After school, she worked in her dad’s store until she mar-ried John Kissock in 1948 and they bought a small farm on Peardonville Road,

later moving to a farmon Huntingdon.

Kissock was a mem-ber of the PeardonvilleWomen’s Institute for33 years. John died in2002, but she still liveson the farm.

She has partici-pated in the writingof two local historybooks – PeardonvilleRemembered and ThePlace Between (aboutthe communitiesbetween Langley andAbbotsford).

School district boss takes new position


The superintendent of the Abbotsford school district has resigned to take a similar job in Regina, Sask. as of Aug. 1.

Julie MacRae said she was recruited by Regina Public Schools (RPS) for the position of director of educa-tion – the equivalent of a superintendent in B.C.

“I just felt that it looked like an excit-ing opportunity, and I decided to explore it.”

MacRae, who began her role with the Abbotsford school district in October 2008, said the job appealed to her because RPS serves an area about the size of Abbotsford and faces similar challenges, including funding pressures.

She said she also liked that RPS, like Abbotsford, has a growing number of English as a Second Language students, as well as a strong Metis and aboriginal student population.

“I have very mixed emotions. Abbotsford is a wonderful dis-trict, and there are very high-quality programs and ser-vices.”

She said she will miss the support of the staff and teachers she has worked with during her tenure.

Among the high-lights of her time in Abbotsford is the implementation of the strategic plan, which was adopted last October, laying out the district’s goals for the years 2010-13 and how it would achieve them.

MacRae said anoth-er highlight has been the accomplishments of students in areas such as sports, the arts and academics.

She said the chal-lenges have included the high turnover of senior manage-ment, both because of retirement and resignations. This includes the role of secretary-treasurer, which was vacated by Mark Lee last year after he had served

in the role for only 10 months and is now held by Ray Velestuk.

C i n d y Schafer, chair of the board of educa-tion, said the district has appreciated MacRae’s “positive leadership and fresh

perspective,” e s p e c i a l l y during tough economic and b u d g e t a r y times.

She cred-ited MacRae for her work in helping to develop

the strategic plan, adopting a long-range facilities plan,

centralizing district career programs, and launching a new aviation program and 11 new StrongStart centres.

MacRae came to Abbotsford after serving as school district superinten-dent in Campbell River since 1998, and replaced Des McKay, who retired.

B.C. Games launches new partnershipTravis PATERSONBlack Press

No one is more passionate about sports than Kelly Mann. As far as he’s concerned, youth athletics and the surrounding community are where it’s at.

The president and CEO of B.C. Games has guided the province’s Summer and Winter Games to great heights through a passion for sports.

Mann was in Vernon recently to help the host city launch the official count-down for the 2012 B.C. Winter Games, set for Feb. 23-26.

In tandem with the launch, Mann announced a four-year partnership between the Games and Black Press, parent company of the Victoria News.

“While we sponsor literally thou-

sands of events each year, The Games, both winter and summer, are on a scale that is one of the largest opportunities to engage our readers across B.C.,” said Candy Hodson, senior vice-president of national sales and marketing for Black Press.

“In covering the B.C. Games it allows Black Press to also show-case our best: we bring together ‘local’ on a provincial scale,” she said.

Mann agreed the shared focus on athletic promotion in the community between the B.C. Games and Black Press is a per-fect fit.

“Black Press papers and the Winter and Summer Games are in virtually every community in B.C.

“Black Press will provide extensive

coverage and advertising to support the B.C. Games and share the story of how the Games impact athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers and communi-ties.”

The partnership will coin-cide with three games: the 2012 Summer Games in Surrey and the 2014 Winter and Summer Games in Mission and Nanaimo, respectively.

From his downtown Victoria office, Mann overlooks the antique section of Fort Street. It’s just a few blocks down the road from Oak Bay High, where

he graduated in 1976.It was there that Mann became deeply

connected to the values of youth sports, playing and managing school teams.

He’s been with B.C. Games since

1992 but also co-founded the KidsportGreater Victoria chapter in 2002, oneof the most successful in the country.

When president Randy Blair of BlackPress’ Lower Mainland division pro-posed the newspaper chain becomeone of three corporate sponsors, Mannknew the opportunity at hand.

“We want people to understand thecompetitive support system in athleticdevelopment in B.C.,” Mann said.

“You don’t hear of Ryder Hesjedal asa B.C. Games athlete, you hear of himas a Tour de France competitor.

“We talk about athletes like they fellout of a tree but really they’ve had asupport network since they were eight.This (partnership) will add greaterdepth to the role of athletes and thesupport network of the developmentstage.”

SportsIn BriefSoccer spectacle

Dan KINVIGAbbotsford News

Whether Abbotsford sports fans fully grasp how high the calibre of Premier Development League soccer is, Ian Knight isn’t convinced.

What he is sure of is, the PDL’s reputation is spreading far and wide.

Knight’s clogged email inbox is evidence of that.

“We’ve had a lot of player interest from all over the place – from Europe and the United States,” said Knight, who helms the Magnuson Ford Mariners PDL side as part of his head coaching duties with the local soccer as-sociation.

“The distance that some of the inquiries have come from is sur-prising. We could have filled two rosters with inquiries that I’ve had this preseason. It’s been astronomical, really.”

Knight is working on importing a trio of play-ers – two from the U.S., one from England. The club is waiting for inter-national clearances be-fore they can release the names, though it’s highly unlikely the paperwork will come through prior to the Mariners’ regular

season debut this week-end.

The balance of the ros-ter is largely comprised of top local university players from the Fraser Valley Cascades and the Trinity Western Spartans. Current Cascades include the midfield trio of Juan Pablo Mora Perea, Ethan Claibourne-Collins and Sasa Plavsic, while strik-ers Andre Costa and Danfi Parker are among

the Spartans on the squad.

Competing in the PDL’s Northwest Division is al-ways a tough row to hoe for a community club like Abbotsford, given the pres-

ence of deep-pocketed clubs like the Vancouver Whitecaps residency squad, the Victoria Highlanders, the Kitsap Pumas and the Portland Timbers U23s. The Mariners went 4-11-1 last season, which left them seventh out of nine teams in the division.

But when Knight looks at the players he’ll have at his disposal, he’s opti-mistic.

“Certainly, I’m en-thused by the quality we’ve managed to as-semble this year,” he

Three shots downheading into the finalday, UFV rallied to winbehind a strong roundfrom Mitch Lock. Thereigning BCCAA play-er of the year finishedthird in the individualstandings.

said. “We have huge respect for these other organizations. But at the same time, this is a showcase arena for our players. They have to play their own

game, and you never know what could hap-pen.

“Football-wise, we fared fairly well against the vast majority of our op-ponents last year. The biggest problem was

our own discipline, and we must improve in that area. We suf-fered many games with red cards and playing down with 10 men.”

The local PDL squad opens the 2011

campaign with a high-profile road game, as they meet the Whitecaps residency squad at Empire Field – temporary home of Vancouver’s Major League Soccer side – on Friday at 7 p.m.

On Sunday, the Mariners host their home opener against Victoria (3 p.m., Bateman Park).

“It’s a fantastic open-ing game,” Knight en-thused. “It’s another good incentive for our players to go out and show what they’re capable of, playing on the professional stage. And it’s a local derby, so it’s going to be in-tense.”

As the Mariners build their roster, they’re also hoping to build their fan base, after drawing about 150 fans per game to Bateman Park last season. Knight pointed out the PDL represents the fourth tier of the North American soccer pyramid, behind MLS,the North American Soccer League, and the United Soccer Leagues Pro Division.

Magnuson Ford FC president Brad Nicholl called PDL ticket prices “the best deal in town,” and at $5 for adults and se-niors, $2 for youth 18 and under, and $10 for families, it’s hard to argue that point.

“The PDL is a great level of play for play-ers who are looking to break into the profes-sional level,” Knight said. “It’s a great showcase.

“Some players are selected directly from the PDL to the MLS draft. It certainly a fantastic opportunity for players with drive and ambition.”

Royals excel at home Athletes from

Abbotsford’s Valley Royals track and field club battled through stormy conditions to put forth a series of solid performances at their home meet on Saturday at Rotary Stadium.

Leading the way for the Royals was Aisha Klippenstein, who won both the triple jump (11.14 metres) and the 100m hurdles (15.55 seconds).

Hailey Gibson bat-tled a stiff headwind to win a tight battle in the midget women’s 100m dash. Gibson crossed the finish line in 13.67 seconds.

Kayla Leena cut three seconds of her personal best and won the juvenile girls’ 800m with a clocking of 2:20.92, while Chantel Desch was second in the juvenile women’s 100m (13.26) against a headwind.

Other victories for the Royals were turned in by Adam Lambert

in the midget boys and midget men’s shot put, Catherine Taekema in the midget girls pole vault, Jordyn Visser in the juvenile girls and juvenile women’s 100m hurdles, Emma Beckett in the junior women’s pole vault, and Zach Choboter in the midget men’s pole vault.

Comedian Derek Edwards is performing at the Abbotsford Arts Centre on May 14. Tickets are available online at www.ticketmaster.ca.

The funniest man in Canada is coming to town.

Derek Edwards, who was given the title by TV personality Rick Mercer, is performing at the Abbotsford Arts Centre on Satur-day, May 14.

In The My Blunderful Life Tour, Edwards talks about pivotal life moments that everyone goes through – from jobs, to mistakes and experiences.

Slated as the small town boy who delivers big time laughs, Edwards was raised in Timmins, Ont.

He often jokes that it left him in the shadow of Timmins’ native Shania Twain.

So, about 14 years ago, he moved to Toronto in pursuit of a girl. Along with a successful marriage, Edwards found himself a career in comedy.

Since then, he’s been featured on Just for Laughs, Comedy Central and is the only Canadian to win the prestigious Vail, Colorado,

Invitational Comedy Competition. He’s also a four-time nominee

and winner of best stand-up comic at the Canadian Comedy Awards, and has received Gemini nomi-nations for best performance in a comedy.

Edwards admits he didn’t start off strong.

“It was a bust, a bomb, it was the worst,” he said, laughing. After taking a year off to work on his material and build his confi dence, he got back on stage.

He threw out a few jokes about Timmins – a crowd favourite – and made a few wise cracks about a popular Toronto strip club.

“I gleaned a couple of laughs,” he said.

Reminiscing about the past, Edwards said it was his role in a music group that sparked his love for the stage.

He used to play drums in a polka band called Northern Comfort.

He also remembers watching a

comedian on a talk show who was wearing a nice suit jacket, and thinking, “Hey – they work for fi ve minutes a week and spend the rest of the time raking in the money and meeting cool people on TV.”

“Boy, was I out of it – I was so optimistic,” he laughed.

For the past year and a half he’s been zig-zagging across North America, hitting libraries to freshen up his act, editing his showand building his confi dence.

His goal is, and always has been, to appeal to “regular folk.”

“The kind of people that I would be happy to invite into my home for supper. If I can get them to laugh, then it’s a form of success for me.”

My Blunderful Life stops at the Abbotsford Arts Centre on Saturday, May 14. Tickets range from $43 to $45. The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster outlets and online at www.ticketmaster.ca.

The real estate market in the Fraser Valley has moved closer to a healthy balance of listings to sales.

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board processed 1,516 property sales on its Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in April, a decrease of 15 per cent compared to 1,793 sold during April of last year, and a decrease of 17 per cent compared to March’s 1,818 sales.

Sukh Sidhu, president of the board, explained that April’s sales are pretty typical for that month over the last two decades with the 20-year average being 1,580, but softer than what realtors experienced ear-lier this year.

“The Fraser Valley market was busier than nor-mal in February and March due in part to the tight-er credit conditions that kicked in on March 18, plus you add into the mix a focus on the federal election and you get an April that trends back to normal con-ditions,” said Sidhu.

However, Sidhu said certain individual markets within the Fraser Valley have remained active.

“For the third month in a row, sales of single detached homes in White Rock/South Surrey have accounted for almost a quarter of all detached sales in the region compared to the 15 per cent share that

area typically garners.“Benchmark prices of detached homes in that

area have increased by 11 per cent in the last three months compared to 3.9 per cent across the Fraser Valley as a whole, emphasizing the need for local expertise no matter where you’re thinking of buying or selling.”

April finished with five per cent more active list-ings on the MLS than it had in March – 9,697 com-pared to 9,228; however, nine per cent fewer than the 10,635 listings that were active during April of 2010.

The board received 2,918 new listings in April, a decrease of 14 per cent compared to March and a decrease of 22 per cent compared to the 3,760 new listings received in April 2010.

Regarding prices, in April, the benchmark price for Fraser Valley detached homes was $525,510, an increase of one per cent from the April 2010 price of $520,423.

The benchmark price of townhomes was $332,992 in April, an increase of two per cent compared to $326,367 in April 2010.

The benchmark price of apartments was $252,689 in April, a 1.3 per cent increase compared to $249,453 in April 2010.

Born and raised in Surrey, I moved to Abbotsford in 1985 and grew to love the community. My roots and commitments in the Fraser Valley became even stron-ger when I married Ingrid and we started a family. With over 20 years experience in sales and marketing, my next challenge was entering real estate. This career plunge, now several years ago, has brought me growth, relation-ships, and the career satisfaction of a job well done beyond my dreams. My relationships with my clients are of the utmost importance to me. I am commit-ted to providing the care, understand-ing, service, and attention they deserve. Accountability, availability, opportunity, and results for my clients are the core of my business.

I am a self-confessed “car guy” and have been racing, restoring, and ap-preciating all kinds of vehicles since the day I brought home my driver’s license. Over the years I noticed how diffi cult it can be to fi nd the right prop-erty for “toys”, from cars to boats to rec-reational vehicles. I decided to dedicate part of my business to specializing in “Real Estate for Car Guys” and everyone looking for unique properties, garages and shops in the Fraser Valley.

If you are looking for a real estate pro-fessional with the utmost in integrity and commitment to service, call Don McNeill at 605-855-SOLD.

I understand that life is often busy. I coordinate schedules with my wife, an RN, and balance my satisfying and rewarding real estate career with raising our three school-aged daughters and enjoying involvement in our church.

Like many other service businesses, real estate is a very personal business. The outcome depends strongly on the individual providing the service. I believe through listening, coaching, knowledge of the market place, and dedication this allows the seller/buyer the reassurance that I am working for YOU!

Building lasting relationships is important to me.
