Thwarted in love & crime ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

15-year-old boy who succumbed to the lure of romance against his better judgment is facing $759 fines after being nabbed going 175 km/hr in the family Cadillac along Hwy. 1 in Abbotsford. The young Surrey teen – who doesn’t have a licence and had taken the car without permission – was stopped by a RCMP traffic officer near Bradner Road at 2 a.m. on April 20, said RCMP Cpl. Robert McDonald of Lower Mainland Traffic Services. The boy used the car to meet a girl he had recently met on a school trip and was trying to get back home before anyone noticed the vehicle missing. Apparently the teen’s criminal caper was thwarted

in more ways than one. “He met her and it turns out she just wanted to be friends,” said McDonald. Not only is the young driver facing a total of $759 in fines for excessive speeding and driving without a licence, but he also had some serious explaining to do when his parents arrived roadside in the middle of the night as their 2008 Cadillac CT was being impounded. The alternative could have been much worse, noted McDonald, adding the arresting officer was stunned to discover the driver’s age. “At that speed, a young driver with no licence, no experience. What would have happened if he lost control?” McDonald asked. “If anything goes wrong, there’s no tomorrow . . . no romantic life. No future.”

B.C. Conservatives step aside for van Dongen Liberal Plecas derides party as ‘extremists’ CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

t’s no oversight the B.C. Conservatives don’t have a presence in the Abbotsford South riding – the party won’t split right-leaning votes by running against independent John van Dongen, even though he snubbed the party last fall. “As far as it goes, we support John

all the way and we wish him the best. He’s a good man,” said Paul Redekopp, the Conservative candidate in Abbotsford West, who called van Dongen a friend. Redekopp said local BCC party organizers discussed the plan and took it to party leader John Cummins, who agreed. “John van Dongen would represent his riding so effectively there’s no point in us going against him. We want to support him rather than go

griculture needs to be both economically successful and sustainable. Government can fund research, encourage consumers to support B.C. agriculture with their dollars, and use regulation to prevent damage. We need to find out if crops that produce their own neonicotinoids are killing bees, and ban those strains if needed. Employment and income inequality are serious problems. Too many good blue collar jobs disappear due to technology, outsourcing to lowwage countries and other factors. Thousands are underemployed, and income inequality has increased. If people have just enough to survive, they do not buy much – because they can’t. This is bad for business. We must learn to consider the bad long-term effects that can result from maximizing profit right now, and to change what we do. Replacing drug prohibition with regulation and control would improve the economy, public health and public safety. Prohibition was intended to reduce drug use, but it does not. Every country that has moved to regulation has seen drug usage, illness and death go down. Drug prohibition cripples the economy and public safety by giving black market profits to criminals. If elected, I will introduce the Sensible Policing Act as a private member’s bill. Steve Finlay, 56, is a marketing manager and graduate test preparation instructor. See bit.ly/ZwlzJp.

s an experienced small business owner, I take responsibility in my community. That is why I am a candidate, out on the doorsteps listening to residents’ concerns. After 12 years of the same government, voter apathy is at an alltime high and constituents feel they haven’t been heard. Education and training: The NDP want to build a better future by investing in skills training and education. It will work towards reducing inequality, protecting the environment and having a dependable healthcare system. Transit: Accessible and reliable transit is a challenge for those who rely on public transit. The NDP will put a portion of the carbon tax into green infrastructure. Healthcare: We need to improve health care for seniors, people with disabilities, people with chronic conditions, enhance front-line youth mental health increased access to primary care services, to help control costs and improve care. Economy: Abbotsford’s economy relies heavily on the farmers and agriculture. We need to invest locally and purchase what we produce in the valley. The NDP government will bring back the Buy BC Program. Lakhvinder Jhaj works in banking and is married with three children. Her campaign office is at 100-2580 Cedar Park Place, Abbotsford.

he most frequent issue that people talk with me about is the rising cost of government services and how we pay for them. The reality is that we simply do not have the money needed to pay for the rising costs in health care, social services, transportation, infrastructure needs, criminal justice or education, but people don’t want their taxes or the debt to increase. We can ensure that British Columbians receive world class services by using more effective and efficient methods to deliver government services. We can substantially strengthen our economy, in part through the trillion-dollar liquefied natural gas opportunity as part of a broader resource development policy. This would create jobs, spark secondary industries and have a positive impact on our environment and our future. It’s about getting tax dollars from B.C.’s rich natural resources, instead of from your pockets. To ensure that your tax dollars are spent wisely and prudently, you need a strong voice in Victoria. You deserve a leader who bases decisions on facts, who is honest and accountable to you, and will ensure that our government functions openly. You can always count on me to be that leader.

estore trust in government. People deserve to have a government that is accountable for its decisions. Too often political parties exist to gain and maintain power rather than to provide good governance. I’m not interested in political spin doctoring or photo ops. People are tired of false promises and political rhetoric. I do what I say I will do. 2. Keep our local economy strong by properly supporting agriculture, agri-business and small business. As a farmer for my entire life, I understand agriculture and business. I am a strong and knowledgeable advocate. 3. Oppose the Metro Vancouver garbage incinerator. I was a key player in stopping the SE2 power plant and very active on this issue in Question Period. The BC Liberals could stop the garbage incinerator but chose not to. The NDP have avoided taking a clear stand to end the discussion of a garbage incinerator by Metro Vancouver.

scam artist forged an online romantic relationship with an Abbotsford woman and then bilked her out of $30,000, say police. The victim, in her 50s, had been corresponding regularly for four months with a man she’d met on a popular Internet dating site, said Abbotsford Const. Ian MacDonald. The man, who said he was based in Europe, told her he wanted to come to Canada to meet her and build their relationship but lacked funds to deal with business problems and put the plan into action, said MacDonald. “This individual fraudster invested a great deal of time into this [scam],” he said. “It was four months of friendship and online dating before the money question came up.” After sending the money, the woman phoned the wire transfer company only to discover a man with a different name was picking up the funds. The woman reported the deception to police on Thursday but recognizes it’s unlikely she’ll get her money back, said MacDonald. However, the victim wanted to prevent others from falling prey to any similar schemes, he said. Because of the distance involved, the anonymity of the suspect and jurisdiction issues, it’s unlikely police will be able to secure charges. “Certainly a better step is prevention,” said MacDonald on Monday. “Friendships online are precarious because the person you are conversing with may not be who they purport to be,” he said. “But once money comes into question, that risk is amplified.”

Chic tower signals a downtown revival

Mill district will host 21st-century jobs

SCAN FOR PHOTOS

“There’s a tremendous amount of interest in the historic downtown generally. It’s become an energized neighourhood in the city. It’ll be very exciting for the people of Abbotsford.” – Jay Teichroeb City of Abbotsford

– CHRISTINA TOTH/TIMES

Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman joined David Krahn and others from Cyril Developments at a Mill Tower strata launch on Thursday. The project reflects the area’s renaissance, said Banman. while other professional groups lease space on other floors. But there is still plenty of room, and with this second launch Krahn and Tony Marinelli offer strata-title units in the iconic tower ranging from 1,000 to 17,000square feet. “The demographics in Abbotsford have a larger demand for ownership,” versus leasing, said Marinelli. Krahn said they target professional business owners looking for an affordable place to live and work, but who still want to be close to Vancouver.

The tower space is priced at $300/sq.ft, versus the $400 to $600 for similar real estate in Vancouver, he said. The spaces are blank concrete canvasses with a lot of potential. Rain or shine, light floods across the vast unwalled rooms through 16-foot-tall windows. When designing his own floor, Krahn created an airy, Yaletown-like atmosphere by incorporating transparent and opaque glass dividers set among the sturdy 42-inch hexagonal exposed concrete pillars. The Mill Tower has become the anchor for redevelopment on the street.

bbotsford has evolved from a primarily farming economy to a town with more urban diversity, and nowhere is this more evident than in the city’s historic core. The change was underscored by a marketing event Thursday at the Mill Tower on Gladys Street, a former Ritchie-Smith agricultural feed plant that was completely renovated into a stunning professional tower in 2009. Built in 1968 (rumour has it Abbotsford Coun. Dave Loewen worked as a labourer during its construction), it was evidence of the town’s burgeoning agricultural economy until the company moved to a new facility. Now it’s a symbol of redevelopment in Abbotsford’s core, said Jay Teichroeb, the city’s manager of economic development. The former mill and adjacent properties were purchased about a decade ago by Cyril Developments Ltd., a subsidiary of the Conwest Group of Companies held by Tony, John and Rose Marinelli, and Krahn Engineering Ltd., owned by David Krahn. Rather than spend more than $2 million to take down the 245-foot concrete monolith, the owners opted to convert the mill into a classy and unique office tower. It has 36,000 square feet of bright open space with soaring windows on five floors of polished concrete. (See more at bit.ly/13AgzTJ). The fourth floor is occupied by the Krahn Group of Companies, which led the original 15-month, $15-million restoration work,

Greens want to grow locally

ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

bbotsford and Mission’s Green Party candidates are working to ensure voters don’t dismiss their politics as leftist tree-hugging nonsense in the upcoming provincial election. The Green Party is a business-friendly, fiscally conservative entity working to promote a sustainable economy, asserts business owner and Abbotsford-Mission candidate Aird Flavelle. “The Green Party allows me to continue with my free enterprise endeavours but a little environmental responsibility is necessary,” said Flavelle. While a number of other provincial parties address his commitment to fiscal responsibility, “absolutely no one else buys into my concerns about global warming.” Abbotsford West Green Party candidate Stephen O’Shea – a support care giver for people developmental disabilities by day and the bassist with popular local band You Say Party by night – agrees. The party disputes the notion development, economic prosperity and ecological responsibility are mutually exclusive concepts, said O’Shea. Abbotsford is growing rapidly and now is the time to start practising sustainable development, he said. “We face a challenge as suburban sprawl chips away at the Agricultural Land Reserve,” said O’Shea. The city withdrew hundreds of acres for its City in the Country plans around 2005, and is now considering a proposal to withdraw 200-plus acres of Bradner farmland adjacent to Langley’s Glouces-

– ROCHELLE BAKER/TIMES

Green Party candidates in Abbotsford Aird Flavelle, left, and Stephen O’Shea say their party’s commitment to the environment is not contrary to conservative fiscal policy. ter Industrial Estates. The lands already excluded for industry from the ALR haven’t been fully optimized and O’Shea is concerned about more agricultural land being topped by warehouses. “We need to strengthen the Agricultural Land Commission to protect that land and ask Abbotsford residents to adjust to more density in the urban core,” he said. He also wants to focus on the lack of transit in Abbotsford and look to the development of a local green economy and renewable energy sources, perhaps even exploring the possibility of wind turbines on Sumas Prairie. The Green Party’s commitment to decentralization and grass roots democ-

racy can address long-standing issues such as residents’ conflict with gravel mining on both sides of the Fraser River in Mission, Hatzic Prairie, Lake Errock and Sumas Mountain, said Flavelle. The provincial government allows the industry to “run roughshod” in residential areas, he said. When approaching local issues, the party will look to local residents for input and solutions, not only on industry but also on education, the economy and social issues, he added. “The guys in Victoria don’t know what’s going on in north Hatzic,” said Flavelle. “The Green Party is favourable to more localized government with empowered funding and authority.”

Giving praise to our local athletes W

hen I came to Canada more than 30 years ago, one thing became very clear very quickly. Canada was all about hockey. Hockey was the national sport, the national pastime, the national obsession. Regardless of what was going on in the rest of the world or in Canada, whether the Canucks won or lost last night’s game usually led the local news coverage and filled the majority of sports pages in Vancouver newspapers. In Abbotsford, too, in a lot of ways, it’s all about hockey, in this case the Heat. Will they stay or will they go; why are we paying so much; how can we get more butts in the seats at the AESC? While that’s all important stuff and a worthy topic of conversation, there are hundreds of other athletes right here in Abbotsford who’ve quietly honed their skills over the years, and are worthy of mention. On Saturday night they got the recognition they deserved at the 11th annual Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame. The event was billed as ‘A Celebration of Excellence,’ and it wasn’t hard to see that the scope of athletics and the athletes in this town are rather mind-boggling in their reach. Hockey was represented of course, but here it was our long-standing Junior B team, the Abbotsford Pilots who were recognized as a Wall of Fame inductee after a stellar season in 2012, when they not only won

for what it’s worth the provincials but also went on to win the Western Canadian Championship’s Keystone Cup. Five other sports teams were also honoured as inductees in the Wall of Fame, a one-year recognition of superior achievement from the year before. This is important because these teams all represent Abbotsford locally, provincially or across Canada, and with the exception of the Pilots, all are student teams. They are great ambassadors for their school, their sport and the City of Abbotsford. These included the Abbotsford Panthers senior girls rugby team, Rick Hansen Hurricanes boys wrestling team, MEI junior boys volleyball team, UFV men’s golf team and UFV women’s volleyball team (who also won the national championship). All were provincial or conference champions. The breadth of excellence in sport in this town is amazing, but not that surprising. Abbotsford has a long history of athletic excellence, and in any given sport, be it basketball, football, rugby, hockey, soccer or whatever, there will usually be an

Abbotsford team in the playoffs or the finals. Individual athletes were also honoured as inductees for excellence in their sport and these were as varied as the teams. New inductees included: Maleek Irons, football; Chelsea Jenner, softball; Mandeep Gill, wrestling; Shaun Dhillon, karate; Tyler Miller, figure skating; Tyler Kolowsky, volleyball; Gagandeep Dosanjh, soccer; and Tiffany Matteazzi, javelin. As each accepted their award and spoke briefly to the crowd at the Legacy Building, they thanked their teammates, their coaches, their families . . . but they also thanked their city. “It is such an honour to have Abbotsford believe in me,” was a sentiment shared by many. The Sports Hall of Fame saw two inductees this year, former athlete Ryan Banks, an Abby Senior grad who represented Canada 36 times on the national men’s rugby squad, and Deirdre DeGagné as a community builder for her role of developing the sport of rope skipping both locally and around the world. So next time the subject of hockey and sports comes up, don’t forget about all the athletes who keep Abbotsford on the map and work hard to do their city proud. ■ Jean Konda-Witte is a sports photographer/reporter and acting editor of the Times.

es, everyone’s in a tizzy since the Americans announced they’re considering charging a fee to Canadian border crossers. While bridges across the Lower Mainland, including the one between Maple Ridge and Langley, are springing up with tolls, we’ve always taken it for granted that a trip to the States will be gratis. Well, for a certain value of free. A border crossing fee, especially one of $1 to $10, won’t deter anyone from making a once-a-year trip to see Disneyland or their American friends or relatives. But there are those who cross the border every day – truckers, mostly, but some folks choose to live in Canada and work in the U.S., or vice versa. Then there are those who cross once a week or so, to get cheap gas, maybe pick up some milk and eggs. For those frequent crossers, it will be the equivalent of a significant toll. Even a dollar a day adds up – especially if the exchange rate slips over the years. That’s in addition to the non-monetary costs we’ve endured along the borders over the past decade: increased security has meant the need for more ID, including passports or enhanced driver’s licences. If the U.S. puts a border toll in place, they’ll be taking a small chunk out of the Canadian economy. We could put up a tit-for-tat fee of our own – but that would also hurt us. Do we want to discourage American tourists and film crews from coming up here and pouring money into our coffers? Definitely not. It’s been decades now since we had our debate about free trade with the U.S. It’s ironic that, with free trade thoroughly entrenched, the United States is now considering putting a price on the movement of individuals through the world’s longest undefended border. ■ To comment on this editorial, e-mail us at letters@abbotsfordtimes.com.

‘Shame on you’ says reader Editor, the Times:

I would like to address the group of young people who gathered at Albert Dyck Park last Wednesday afternoon. Although it was nice to see you having a good time and utilizing the park for you barbecue, I was appalled at the mess you left. I have never seen so much garbage left behind: there were at least 20 of you. I mean, how disrespectful. Also, the fact that you were consuming alcohol in a public park, and then to just pick up your stuff and pass multiple garbage cans on the way back to the parking lot and not bring your garbage with you? Shame on you! How truly rude and irresponsible; how were you brought up anyway? Now, to the few young ladies who were not a part of that group, who came when you left and actually cleaned it all up . . . I was blown away at how thoughtful that was. You didn’t have to do it, but you were obviously brought up to know better, and want a clean park to hang out at. Thank you so much for being good citizens. Wendy Janzen Abbotsford

Almost daily we hear of sink holes, landslides, hurricanes, etc. Could it be that humans are causing many of these things to happen? Not only have re removed much of long-standing forests which would temper winds and climate as well as purifying the air for increasing populations, but now we are rushing into liquid natural gas production. When we remove vast areas of underground matter in various mining activities, and now, considerable supplies of underground water in LNG production by ‘fracking,’ we force surrounding areas to shift so as to fill the space. There cannot be a vacuum left in those spaces, so more and more underground movement will continue. One of the most concerning aspects in LNG production is the amount of clean water used during the process. As upstanding citizens, do we feel it acceptable to trade present and future drinking water for some jobs now? Watch The Nature of Things documentary (Feb.

2013), which showed how communities were impacted by LNG. Is this the way our government thinks we should go? Lila Rauh Mission

Pony up for people not politicians Editor, the Times:

Last week my wife and I joined a widow we know for lunch where we now reside in an independent senior facility in Abbotsford. She introduced her son, who has diabetes and has to have insulin for four hours three times a week, having to travel from Gladwin Street to Clearbrook Clinic at 7 a.m. This is done on a scooter without a canopy in all kinds of weather. He received a new kidney some years ago, but eight years ago it didn’t function anymore, so he’s been on insulin ever since. To top this off, he has to survive on about $900/ month for rent and food, just like thousands of folks across Canada. Now if [Senator] Mike Duffy and the rest of this exclusive group would realize the way they’re carrying on, the voters of Canada could boot them out.

Then those funds would be put to better use for the hundreds of thousands of these folks that really need a lot better care. Ernie Poignant Abbotsford

Thank you to all the CBS volunteers Editor, the Times:

As we celebrated National Volunteer Week (April 21-27), Canadian Blood Services wanted to thank the 17,000 volunteers who dedicated 215,000 hours of their time in the last year to help support Canada’s blood system. In B.C. and the Yukon, 1,800 volunteers invested nearly 35,000 hours to assist in more than 2,300 community and clinic events. Nationwide, our volunteers are involved in leading positive change in a variety of ways, all of them vital: They coordinate and host blood donor clinics, greet and assist donors, promote key campaigns throughout the year, and publicly speak about the need for blood and stem cell donation. Our volunteers provide considerable value to the donation experience, which is recognized by many of our donors. We put together a special YouTube message of thanks from donors across the country: bit.ly/11q5Zgh. Ed Yee, director CBS BC/Yukon

‘Disgruntled people’ says Plecas of party CONSERVATIVES, from page A1 against him,” Redekopp said Friday. “John is a conservative at heart. He has served the people of Abbotsford South extremely well for many years, and he definitely puts his constituents over his party’s line.” The Conservatives know that well enough. After 17 years with the B.C. Liberals, van Dongen divorced the party in March 2012 over concerns about Christy Clark’s leadership and questions regarding the sale of BC Rail. He joined the B.C. Conservatives but left after six months, citing differences with Cummins. “Politicians are here to serve the people, and politicians forget that. John still has the heart and passion for the people. Those who know me, know I’m the same way,” said Redekopp, who works for the Langley Association for Community Living. Van Dongen said he was grateful

the party isn’t fielding a candidate in Abbotsford South, as it could boost his chances as a small-c conservative alternative to the Liberals. “Generally speaking, a lot of B.C. Conservatives were B.C. Liberals like myself, and felt the party has lost its way, so from that perspective there may be some common ground,” van Dongen said Monday. “Having said that, I’m here to represent all constituents as an independent MLA. I have my basic principles and that hasn’t changed.” However, B.C. Liberal candidate Darryl Plecas derided the B.C. Conservatives’ generosity, labeling them as an extreme right-wing group that has been plagued by problems since they were formed. “They have positions that tend to be exclusive. I don’t put any value on the B.C. Conservatives because I don’t see them representing conservative values in Abbotsford South very well,” he said Monday. “They’ve demonstrated they don’t get along with anybody. It’s a collection of disgruntled people.” Plecas added he was disappointed the Conservatives would undermine the Liberals’ chances this way, “knowing how

important it is to keep a free enterprise party” in power and to keep the New Democrats from forming government. As a “middle of the road” party, Plecas said the B.C. Liberals would best accommodate the concerns of conservative voters. “The issues people want addressed the B.C. Conservatives wouldn’t give a damn about, it’s so right wing,” said Plecas, the University of the Fraser Valley RCMP research chair and a political rookie. When social services, health, mental health and transportation agencies ask for more funding to do their work, for example, “the Conservatives would tell them to take a hike,” said Plecas. The B.C. Conservatives will not have candidates in several other ridings. Other Abbotsford South candidates include New Democrat Lakhvinder Jhaj, who lost her last race in BoundarySimilkameen by just three per cent, Stephen Finlay of the Marijuana Party and Patricia Smith of the Excalibur Party. The candidates square off in a debate May 2 at the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, 32315 South Fraser Way. They meet a second time on May 6 from 6 – 8:30 p.m. at the UFV Abbotsford campus, 33844 King Rd.

Briefly Kitchen fire at women’s prison Abbotsford firefighters doused a kitchen fire in a residential unit at the women’s correctional facility at Fraser Valley Institution on Saturday morning. Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service was called to the prison at 33344 King Road at 11:35 a.m. to find smoke coming from one of the residences and that the fire had gotten into the attic of the building. Crews extinguished the blaze but smoke, fire and water damage to the structure is estimated to be $30,000. No injuries were reported. Cooking oil left unattended on the stove caused the fire. It’s a reminder to always monitor cooking activities in the kitchen, said assistant fire chief Ron Hull.

Abbotsford students stage arts invasion Dance, drama, song and more at inaugural Fraser Valley event ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

SCAN FOR PHOTOS – ROCHELLE BAKER/TIMES

ASIA North Poplar students stage a colourful dance routine with umbrellas outside city hall for the Arts in the Fraser Valley showcase held Thursday. Visit abbotsfordtimes.com for more photos.

undreds of youth, parents and teachers poured into Abbotsford’s civic plaza on to enjoy a spectacle of student art in the sunshine on Thursday. Dance, song, music, fine art and drama were all on exhibition during the first inaugural Arts in the Fraser Valley event organized by the Creative Learning Community. The CLC, spearheaded by ASIA North Poplar teachers Deana McLean and Rachel Lack, works with Abbotsford’s arts integrated schools and regular schools to develop and celebrate the arts within the district.

“I thought it was a great event and loved being able to walk around to all the buildings, and having the weather cooperate was a bonus as well.” The CLC did a great job at organizing the event and participating schools and getting everyone involved, she added. Abbotsford School of the Integrated Arts - North Poplar Elementary, ASIA Sumas Mountain, Blue Jay Elementary and Robert Bateman Secondary participated in the project. The student exploration of the arts drew a large, appreciative crowd that included young and old, noted Schafer. “Just the attendance demonstrated the enthusiasm and energy for the project, and all the effort going into all the different performances.”

Hundreds of elementary, middle and secondary school students worked together to develop the festival-like event, which featured different art forms on display at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, Clearbrook Library, The Reach Gallery and Museum Abbotsford, Abbotsford School District and Thunderbird Memorial Plaza in conjunction with B.C. Arts and Culture Week. Abbotsford School District chair Cindy Schafer said the civic plaza and surrounding buildings were a fantastic site for the students to showcase their talents. “All the different stations exemplified creativity, colour and energy. There was a great variety,” said Schafer.

Liberals promise cash for Mission kids camp CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

John RE-ELECT van Dongen Putting People First.

ocal B.C. Liberal candidates pledged up to $5 million to reroute and improve road access to Tim Horton’s first B.C. camp in northwest Mission, but the money won’t be earmarked until 2016. Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong and Maple RidgeMission MLA Marc Dalton made the commitment April 18 at Mission city hall, along with Mayor Ted Adlem and Bill Brooks, B.C. special projects with the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation. The money would come from the next provincial budget cycle, in 2015 or 2016, said Dalton, but added it was necessary to make the commitment now for THCF to move ahead. Normally, such pronouncements by the incumbent government are not made once the legislature is dissolved for an election. Dalton said the pledge could have been made before the writ was dropped on April 16, but the THCF representative was not available. The money is good news for the project, which is still in

Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton said Liberals will fund road improvements to a planned Tim Hortons camp in Mission. approval stages, said Dave Newnham, THCF vice-president and executive director. “The road upgrade is a requirement for us to move forward in the process,” he said in a press release. The year-round camp will host up to 3,000 children a year from low-income homes at the former Boulder Bay corrections camp on Alouette Lake, between Golden Ears Park and Stave Lake. The plan is to upgrade 12 kilometres of the Florence Lake forest service road to allow vehicles and buses, including a 5.1-km bypass

route and two new bridges. The road upgrades will also open Mission’s municipal forest to recreation. The road needs to be upgraded before it’s open to campers and recreational users, said Dalton. Mike Bocking, New Democrat candidate for the Maple Ridge-Mission riding, said while it was an interesting proposal, he had questions regarding the roadwork costs and the agreements to date. “It’s a very interesting proposal. I’m interested in discussing it with the District of Mission and Tim Hortons,” said Bocking.

hen is the last time you visited your local public library? This January, Pew Internet released research about library services in the digital age. Of those surveyed, 91 per cent said libraries are important in their communities – 76 per cent said libraries are important to them and their families. It also revealed e-book reading is on the rise – but only 31 per cent are aware their libraries offer free e-books. Another 31 per cent said they know not much or nothing at all of what their libraries have to offer. As a librarian, I know plenty of regular library users. Some like to chat, and some don’t waste a moment, heading straight to their favourite shelf. John the Danish writer, Walter the multilingual wonder, and sweet Jenny and her kids – these people make my world go ‘round. I know people in the Fraser Valley are proud supporters of their libraries. But I’m wondering about that 31 per cent. Does that statistic hold true in the Fraser Valley? Is it you? Your best friend, your sister? Are you a supporter of the library? Are you knowledgeable about what your local free public library offers, right now, today, in your community? Do you know where the library is? Perhaps you’re busy. Or you think only people who love to read go to the library. Or maybe you buy your books and don’t know what else the library offers. I bet some of you had a traumatic shhhhh! moment in a library, long ago, and never returned . . . I would love to hear the story, and make amends if I can. So here’s an invitation to the library. But I don’t want you to pop your foot in the door, declare ‘There! I went to the library!’ and then leave. I want to challenge you to

explore your library until you find three things you didn’t expect to find. Talk to the people in your library, sign up for a library card, find something surprising to borrow. Bring some coffee or a friend, find a comfy niche and browse the DVDs. Attend a free event – last year FVRL libraries offered over 7,000 programs from puppet shows to travel fairs – these are recreational opportunities for everyone, whether you love or hate to read. Find music, movies and magazines, and learn how to download those free e-books. Don’t have time to stay and browse? Discover the new Grab & Go bags, available for all ages. Inside you’ll find a selection of popular titles to borrow, already bagged and ready to go. Or perhaps like me you just like to be surprised, discover new authors, new ideas or new genres. There are four libraries in Abbotsford and Mission, proud to be part of the 25 Fraser Valley Regional Libraries. Clearbrook library is the largest in FVRL, lending over one million items last year. Abbotsford Community Library boasts a brand new location, part of a exciting partnership with the school district. Mission Community Library is a midsized, warm and welcoming library with moxie. Mount Lehman is the smallest local library, but it has a big heart. While you’re there, pick up a summer program guide. Pour over the programs while planning your summer.

Cardinals tops in league

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday games keep Cards in the hunt JOHN VAN PUTTEN sports@abbotsfordtimes.com

Rower receives award

he Abbotsford Cardinals are the hottest team in the BCPBL sporting an 8-2 record so far this season. Sitting atop the 14-team British Columbia Premier Baseball League the local squad split their weekend series with the Okanagan Athletics. “This past weekend was good test for us against a very potent offensive ball club,” according to Senior Cardinals head coach Corey Eckstein. They notched another tick in the win column on Sunday morning at Elks Stadium with a 6-5 win. A third inning offensive explosion had the Cardinals earning five runs to erase the three-run lead the A’s built up in the first two innings. The Cards added one more run in the fifth inning and managed to hold on to the lead for the win. “Our players off the bench really stepped up over the course of the weekend and came up with some clutch hits in key situations,” said Eckstein.

Cardinals’ Carter Williams pitches against the North Delta Blue Jays at DeLair Park on Tuesday night. The Cards lost 4-2 but picked up a split on the weekend to lead the 14-team BCPB league with an 8-2 record. “Jay Kim hit a base hit up the middle in game two to tie the ball game and also a lead off double in [Sunday’s] Game which proved to be the winning run after Liam Shibata got the suicide squeeze down for the win.” They opened the weekend series on Saturday afternoon losing 6-4.

Eckstein gives a tip of his ball cap to the pitchers and bullpen as a major reason for the teams’ successes so far this year. “Our pitching has been outstanding so far this season,” Eckstein said. “Every starter has given us a chance to win each ball game with our bullpen stepping up in the later

innings.” The Cardinals are set to play the South Surrey Tritons Tuesday night and they host the Langley Blaze Thursday at DeLair Park with a 7 p.m. start. Saturday they have a double-header against the Victoria Eagles. The games start at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.

ocal wrestlers made a strong showing at the recent National Cadet/Juvenile Wrestling Championships in Saskatoon, Sask. Nishan Randhawa of W.J. Mouat was the national cadet and Fila cadet champion in the 85kg class. With the win, Randhawa has qualified for Team Canada and will be competing in the Fila Cadet World Championships in Serbia Aug. 20-25. Mouat grad Sunny Dhinsa was national junior champion and a silver medalist in national seniors in 130kg class. He will represent Canada at the Junior World Championships in Sofia, Bularia Aug. 13-18. Teammates Austin Batra took gold in 85kg class and Mickey Khehira, 76kg, was fifth in national cadets in Saskatoon. Eugene Reimer Middle School wrestler Navi

Toor wrestled against older boys and still claimed gold in the 42kg final. “Navi surprised me,” said coach Sucha Mann. “He’s quick and fast, he’s like a monkey. He makes quick decisions.” Toor, 14, is a Grade 8 student and competed against grade 10/11 wrestlers at nationals. “He’s a mature kid, he’s confident and he’s focused on his wrestling,” said Reimer principal Reg Gabriel. Justin Gill of Rick Hansen Secondary claimed bonze in the 69kg final. “He’s the kind of guy who puts guys on their backs and pins them,” said Mann. Rajin Gill from MEI picked up the bronze in the 100kg final. Both Justin Gill and Toor have qualified for the Canadian National team for the Pan Am Championships Aug. 9-11.

Valley Royals bring home hockey gold T

he 2000 Fraser Valley Royals have won the DoubleA division of the Mainland International Hockey Championship in Coquitlam. They went a perfect 6-0 through the weekend and defeated the Edgy Islanders of Victoria 4-2 to take home the championship. The Royals were down on the scoreboard 2-1 heading into the third period but got a huge tying goal from Abbotsford’s Jake Enns to even the game at two. Minutes later Mission’s Sean Sidhu got the eventual game winner when he wired home a slap shot to put the Royals up 3-2. Enns sealed the victory with his second goal of the game for a final score of 4-2. One of the Royals’ top three point-getters was Abbotsford’s Brett Bass with nine goals and three assists. Mission’s Hayden Vetterals had five goals and five assists and Maple Ridge’s Jacob Mainhout netted four goals and three assists throughout the tournament. Other Abbotsford players are Brett Bass, Mike Penman and Jaxon Orth. Mission play-
