Seniors don’t want to be moved and ‘micro-sized’ Forty-one seniors living in aging duplexes and row houses originally built for low-income veterans in the 1950s are now facing a move into a new microapartment building that will be constructed in downtown Abbotsford. Many residents say they want to stay, but the non-proﬁt Lynnhaven Society says it can’t afford to maintain the units. A5

Daniel Casgrain of Abbotsford was handcuffed and led out of court Thursday to begin a four-year prison term in connection with the 2008 beating death of his common-law spouse Hendrikje (Ricky) Priester. But for tearful family and friends, who watched Casgrain’s every move until he was out of the courtroom, it was not enough. “He should do way more time,” Priester’s sister Lucy said, after the sentencing in B.C. Supreme Court in Chilliwack. “The family has been under duress for four years – and that’s all he gets?” Initially charged with murder after Priester’s death on March 24, 2008, Crown counsel reduced the charge to manslaughter on the evidence, and then Casgrain pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of aggravated assault. Justice Catherine Bruce said in her sentencing Thursday that although Priester suffered four broken ribs and numerous abrasions and contusions during a drunken argument with Casgrain, there was no evidence the injuries directly caused the 52-year-old woman’s death. However, Bruce said that Casgrain, 57, a chronic alcoholic, was aware of Priester’s “weakened condition” due to a heart condition yet continued beating her after she lost consciousness, showing a “callous disregard” for the woman he had lived with for four years.

The family of Ricky Priester gathered outside of B.C. Supreme Court in Chilliwack at a previous court appearance for Daniel Casgrain. From left are Lucy Fairhurst and her husband Garrett; Priester’s mom, Ria Vanbaar; and Priester’s daughter, Diane Priester, holding a photo of her mom. The court previously heard that Casgrain repeatedly kicked Priester. He left her bleeding on the kitchen floor, and paramedics were not called until he telephoned family members the next morning. “He could have saved her life,” Bruce said. “She didn’t deserve to die in such a brutal way.” But the justice said she was bound by sentencing principles and case law to deliver a decision similar to others and proportionate to the offence. Sentences for aggravated assault range from house arrest to six years, although the maximum for the offence is 14 years.

Bruce said the mitigating factors in Casgain’s case were his full confession to the police, his open apology to the family and the remorse he showed in his statement that “he would not have done this if he had been sober.” But Bruce added that drunkenness was also an aggravating factor because Casgrain should have known its effect on his temper, and Priester’s “helpless” state at the time and her reliance upon him. Casgrain’s criminal record includes an earlier assault conviction in 1996, and 10 impaired driving charges, the last one in 2004.

Aging facility poses difficult situation for residents and Lynnhaven Society

Abbotsford News

Malcolm Cleaves is 80 years old, but he will start looking for a new home in Kamloops or Penticton, rather than move into a “microapartment” to be built near Jubilee Park. He’s among 41 Abbotsford seniors who will be losing their housing on Lynn Avenue, and many aren’t interested in the new low-income facility being built for them downtown on Braun Avenue, featuring 300-square-foot living quarters. “I won’t stay with them. I’ll go someplace else,” he said. The housing in the 33000 block of Lynn was originally built by Abbotsford Legion members in the 1950s for people like Cleaves – veterans with limited resources. The homes are duplexes and row houses. The suites are leased and maintained by the non-profit Lynnhaven Society. Over the past 60 years, as the number of veterans dwindled, the society’s mandate has adapted to include all low-income seniors. Cleaves, an air force veteran, has lived at his modest unit for some 25 years. “I lived in an apartment in Toronto, and I hated it,” he asserts. “I like a country-ish atmosphere, like it was when we came here.” He said the new micro-apartments, with built-in furnishings, will not permit him to bring his own furniture, except for perhaps a few pieces. “You’d probably get away with a chair and a milking stool. And that’s about it.” Cleaves said much is being made about the

convenience of the micro-apartments, being close to downtown. He has had cancer treatment for his eye, and needs kidney dialysis twice a week. Lynnhaven’s walking distance to the hospital is more convenient for him. But Cleaves doesn’t want a new apartment. He just wants a new roof. His unit has leaked for the past nine years. “It’s been home,” he says of Lynnhaven. “I would stay here until I die. “There comes a point in time when you should have a choice.” His friend, Jean MacFarlane, has lived across the street from since the units were first built. The seniors were like grandparents to her children, she said. They sit together having coffee, putter in their small gardens, and take walks in the neighbourhood. They regularly check on each other, and she does the same. She feels they are giving up a decent lifestyle for tiny apartment living in a less than desirable area of downtown Abbotsford. Although she won’t be moving there, she attended information meetings about the new micro-apartment project, along with her neighbours. She said some of them got emotional. “They have said they won’t walk there (downtown),” she said. “They don’t feel safe. “What they’re losing is heartbreaking.” Don Walsh has only been at the Lynn Avenue housing for going on two years, but he is already attached. “I got comfortable in here almost immediately. We’re a little community in here.” Continued on A7

Developer hoping to set good precedent From A5

He has a little larger unit. Originally designed for a couple, he can fit his plush leather couch and chair inside the living room, in front of a big-screen television. “I was told by the owners that they would be taking me out in a box – I would never have to look for another place to live.” Walsh has Parkinson’s disease, and had a spinal fusion that gives him severe pain. He has bad falls. He said moving into Lynnhaven taxed his limited financial and physical resources, and he doesn’t want to have to do it again. He talks to other residents who feel the same way. “There are people in these places that just can’t move,” he asserts. “It’s unfair. Not a person in here wants to move.” He too, feels that the buildings can be repaired, needing mainly new roofing and eavestroughs. However, the plan is to be gone in 18 to 24 months. T T T With or without a micro-apartment development to replace them, the Lynnhaven Society’s aging units are only years away from being reduced to teardowns, in the opinion of the society’s administrator and the developer who has partnered with the society. Leona Watts, secretary-manager, said the buildings were constructed economically, with minimal insulation, single-pane windows, and utilitarian building materials. Heating costs alone

A concept image of one of the two 32-unit micro-suite buildings that will be built by the Lynnhaven Society in downtown Abbotsford. are $30,000 per year for the 40 units, she said. The 50-plus-year-old buildings need major work, including new windows, roofing, plumbing and electrical upgrades. “How do you keep up with that, when you have 40 units and your average rent is $400 per month?” The society’s plan is to swap its 2.5-hectare site on Lynn for the new Braun Avenue property and a down payment on two four-storey micro-suite buildings. They will carry a mortgage, paid by monthly rents limited to no more than $480.

The new buildings will offer a total of 64 apartments, for those aged 55 and older. “Micro” may be an unattractive word for living accommodations, but the developer says the units are popular in Europe, and a similar development has been tried in Victoria. David Algra, of Algra Brothers Developments, is a local builder who has recently been involved in the Garrison Crossing subdivision in Chilliwack. He has partnered with Lynnhaven on the $6.4-million project. He sees it as an innovative solution to housing lowincome baby boomers.

“We’re going to run into a big issue housing seniors in the next 10 to 15 years,” Algra predicts. He said Canada Mortgage and Housing and other government agencies are watching this project. “I hope we can set a good precedent.” His company has researched how to maximize the 300 square feet of living space, with built-in furniture, two-burner stoves, narrower fridges and generally smaller appliances. Algra said his floor plan will “live like” a 450-squarefoot apartment. Each of the units will be air conditioned, and contain laundry and a dishwasher – amenities the residents don’t currently have. There will be four large outside “living areas” for socializing, and raised gardens. Each unit will also have a covered deck. He hopes to begin construction in this spring, pending city approval. Looking at the aging units on Lynn Avenue, with their dirt crawl spaces and leaking roofs, Algra said they do not have a lot of life left in them. “You have to modernize at some point in time.” Watts agrees. “If we do not do this, I will guess in two to five years we will cease to exist.” She is already seeing the demand for affordable seniors’ housing, and looks forward to getting rid of her year-long waiting list. “How do you tell a senior who is low income that they have to wait a year for a place?”

Murray GM celebrates 85 years by Lorene Keitch

When A.A. Murray started selling cars in 1926, gas-powered engines were making headway over steam-powered, and the Ford Model T was considered the Àrst affordable American car. Eighty-Àve years later, much has changed for the Murray Auto Group, which has a branch in Abbotsford. But the commitment to family, integrity and quality has remained the same. "There's lots of tradition, we're steeped in 85 years of history," says Rob Taylor of Murray Abbotsford. "At the same time, it's a fairly progressive group. We're al-

ways looking for new ideas, new products." The original family is still part of the company, which has expanded from one location in Manitoba to more than 20 across the country. At recent meetings, A.A. Murray’s son Clair, who is now in his 80’s, was in attendance. Clair has four sons who are also active in the business. Coincidental to this months’ 85th Anniversary celebrations, General Motors is launching two exciting new products - the Chevy Sonic and the Chevy Orlando. During the month of October, there will be special events around the

dealership as well as a group wide challenge to collectively sell 1,926 vehicles. "So far, so good," says Taylor about the goal. "It's fairly competitive amongst the branches," adding the Abbotsford location is holding its own in the challenge. Murray GM's history in Abbotsford goes back to 2003, when the company bought the Hall Pontiac dealership on South Fraser Way. They expanded to their second location in the Abbotsford Motorcade in 2007, merged the two operations together shortly after and have been in the Fraser Valley Automall ever since. At the local dealership,

there are more than 80 staff members, ranging from high school students working part-time to sales consultants like Carl Bracewell, who has been selling cars in Abbotsford for more than 20 years. The Murray Auto Group had been exclusive to Gen-

eral Motors until recently adding other manufacturer’s brands to the group. In Abbotsford they sell a wide range of vehicles with the highest volume coming from the popular Chevy Cruze and Chevy Equinox. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra are also a very

important part of the portfolio here in the Fraser Valley. And at Murray Abbotsford, trucks are a "very popular" choice for buyers, Taylor states. For more information on the new vehicles, or to check out the sales, head into Murray Abbotsford this month.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

P3 water project

Do you feel adequately informed for the upcoming referendum on a P3 partnership for a new water supply?

No private company should be in charge of our water. Nowhere in Canada is this the case. Why Abbotsford? Maybe we should turn over all of our municipal responsibilities to a private company and do away with politicians.

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

None of the comments here seem to be constructive, nor do they directly address the issue. All I see is a lot of name-calling and ideological hate. I’m genuinely curious as to what is so bad about this project, but not interested in just hearing that it’s bad over and over again, and this is just another example of politicians screwing over the public, etc. Frank Pizzuto has stated: “At no point would a private partner have any ability to set water rates or water standards, or sell any of our water. The City of Abbotsford will always retain control over rates and water quality.” If this is the case what is the issue?

Do you approve of the city dismantling homeless camps and referring occupants to services?

173 RESPONDED:

YES: 87% NO: 13%

On Point Taking the temperature of voters and consumers is a highly reﬁned science, if not a bit of an art, as well, due to the creativity put into the information provided to the respondents, and the questions they’re asked. The recent Angus Reid poll of 300 randomly chosen Abbotsford residents in regard to the upcoming P3 water project referendum is a case in point. The survey was commissioned by the City of Abbotsford, ostensibly to plumb the depths of the public’s awareness and perception of what is a major civic issue. It involves a mountain of tax dollars, and the complex question of private enterprise involvement in delivering such a crucial public service as water. Interestingly, respondents were asked their opinion of a public/private partnership not once, but three times. Each question was preceded by a dif-

ferent information preamble, the ﬁrst stressing the transfer of construction risk to a private company, and the city’s retention of ownership and control over the water licence and infrastructure. Combining “strongly” and “moderately agree,” the question garnered 62 per cent in favour of a P3 deal. However, the second related question, which asked respondents how they would vote in a referendum that would allow the city to borrow up to $300 million over 25 years to develop Stave Lake as a new water source, and whether that should involve a public-private partner, received only 45 per cent favourable response. Almost identical results were obtained for a third question, this time stressing that without a P3 arrangement, there would be water rate increases (mentioned twice) and more water restrictions and bans. Despite the dire tone, the favourable responses hardly budged – only 47 per cent in support of a public-private partnership. The city interprets that to mean people are less concerned about money and more concerned about the availability of water.

I’m not sure I see it that way. Tell people the private sector will take the risk, and the city maintains control, and private-public partnership doesn’t sound too bad at all. Ask them if they approve spending up to $300 million, and support drops precipi-

Two things become rather apparent from the Angus Reid poll on P3 water. tously, and it doesn’t get much better if you hold up the possibility of higher water rates. That’s the problem with polls. They are often open to a wide range of interpretation. However, two things become rather apparent from this survey. The city has a major marketing job to convince the public that the P3 approach is the way to go for a new water source. And you may well question whether the

city ought to be promoting one option over another at all. But the mayor and council (with the exception of Coun. Patricia Ross) have made no secret that they consider $61 million in federal P3 funding to be attractive. Hence, the city’s announcement of a $200,000 “education” campaign earlier this week. The second factor that can be taken from the poll is the level of public awareness on this issue, which is very low. Despite extensive media coverage, only eight per cent of the respondents said they followed it closely. Another 33 per cent answered moderately closely. That’s appalling, considering the huge amount of money involved, and the key public-versus-private debate. I have to wonder, given the apparent high public interest and engagement in the annual deficit of the city-supported AHL Heat team, how much higher the awareness level of that issue would have been over the water questions, if compared by the pollsters. Folks, if you’re amped up about spending $1.3 million on hockey, you ought to be mighty interested in investing a few hundred million bucks for water.

So do the math – as only Abbotsford council can. The Stave Lake project in the city’s Master Water Plan was to cost $209 million for a 200 million litre per day (MLD) plant. Now, after consultants have laboured and charged hard for 18 months, there are two costs: $315 million for the traditional construction, and $291 million for the P3 construction for a 100 MLD plant. Both of the revised estimates would make this project more costly than others considered in the city’s plan. It appears that P3 contractors are smarter and more efficient than traditional contractors. However, there is a problem. Comparisons have shown that the operational cost for the P3 project are $1 million per year higher than the owner operated project. Must be time to do an economic analysis and comparison and come up with a present value. Let’s project a $62-million grant for the P3 project. Now press the enter key, and lo and behold, the P3 project is the winner. Looks very nice for the Abbotsford taxpayer, but guess where the $62 million is coming from? Right again, it comes from your federal tax pocket, but fortunately it is shared with a lot more people, so that should be easy to sell. The city has embarked on its program to sell the Stave Lake water supply project to its citizens, and it did it

in fine style. First, a media event at one of the local greenhouses where the proponents, along with their group of a dozen paid young cheerleaders, tried to make the case that agriculture, as indeed the entire community, needs the water since we are quickly running out and there will be a shortage in just a few short years. The problem with this argument is that very few agricultural operations actually use the city’s treated water because it is too costly, and secondly we are not running out of water. The city’s wells are producing more water than they did several years ago, and Norrish Creek and Cannell Lake are producing as much water as always. The only way the present population could run out of water is if we ran out of rainfall – droughts are possible, but it is not likely that the Fraser Valley will turn into a desert. Next up, the city decided to prepare the kickoff to its public relations campaign during a bylaw reading at a committee meeting of council to ensure the public can view, but not participate, in the debate. Indeed, one of the councillors commented that they have been elected by the public, and therefore should be blindly trusted to make the $300 million decision on their own. There are alternatives for the city’s future water supply which would cost the taxpayers less than a Stave Lake P3 project.

Abbotsord and Mission will not run out of water and the sky will not stop delivering rainfall if the voters reject this thinly disguised bid, aided

by all three levels of government, to benefit not the local taxpayers, but large multinational P3 corporations.

The conspiracy trial of Jarrod Bacon and coaccused Wayne Scott began Wednesday in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver, but evidence will not be presented until at least next week. In the meantime, lawyers from both sides are arguing over legal issues, including whether certain wiretap evidence obtained by police should be admissible. Bacon and Scott have each been charged with one count of conspiracy to traffic in a controlled substance stemming from an undercover police sting, called E-Pintle, that targeted members of the Red Scorpions and UN gangs. Police allege that Bacon, 28, and Scott, in his 50s, were working with the Red Scorpions at the time of their arrests in November 2009.

E-Pintle involved a team of undercover officers posing as criminals who could import $3 million of cocaine from Mexico to the Lower Mainland. Police allege the two gangs each deposited $100,000 with the undercover operators in exchange for bringing in 100 kilograms of cocaine. Bacon and Scott were arrested in Abbotsford, as were alleged UN Gang members Nicholas Christopher Wester, 32, and Daryl Robert Johnson, 33. Douglas Edward Vanalstine, 51, who police said was the UN leader at the time, was arrested in the Okanagan. The trial for Wester, Johnson and Vanalstine – all charged with conspiracy and possession for the purpose of trafficking – is scheduled to begin June 11, 2012 in Vancouver.

ucked away on Montvue Avenue, Creekside Country Home Décor is a whimsical pearl of a store that shouldn’t be missed when strolling through Downtown Abbotsford: the ambiance, the smell of candles and handmade soaps, the sight of fanciful objects for every room of your house, and the feeling that you are in a meticulously decorated cottage home. Off in the corner, you will find the flower cooler belonging to Sweetnothings Floral Design. It is filled with the most amazing arrangements you will ever set your eyes upon; several of which are cupcakes. That’s right, cupcakes in the flower cooler. Not edible, rather they are made entirely out of flowers, and are labeled “Flower Cupcakes by Sweetnothings Floral Design”. Julie Swanberg, the creator, says, “If there’s anyone to blame for this girl loving blooms...it would have to be my Dad. He’s been putting little bouquets of flowers into my hands for as long as I can remember.” Her first job, at 15, was sweeping floors and cutting stems in a floral shop. Later, she worked and trained in Whistler Village for 10 years with designers from all over the world. She was in her glory; working with people at the most significant moments in their lives. After a hiatus to raise her children, Julie and her family moved to Abbotsford where Julie found the doors for a new venture begin to open. Grocery shopping one day, she saw the cute little cupcake papers that now adorn her Flower Cupcakes. The talent buried for years by diapers and kids’ homework quickly emerged…she had an idea! Julie is determined to maintain prices that allow everyone the ability to give the gift of flowers. She uses local growers and is unwavering in her unique and personal approach to floral design. That is evident not only in her beautiful cupcakes but in everything in that flower cooler in Creekside Country Home Décor. The next time you need flowers, or you are looking to brighten someone’s day with a dash of sunshine, you won’t find any more unique and affordable flowers in the Lower Mainland than those by Sweetnothings Floral Design in Downtown Abbotsford.

Municipalities convention to sign a â&#x20AC;&#x153;taxpayer pledgeâ&#x20AC;? that calls on them to hold operating expense growth down to the combined increase in population and inflation, and narrow the gap between property tax rates for business and residential properties. The CFIB calculates that B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal operating spending rose nearly 58 per cent between 2000 and 2008, twice as fast as population and inflation grew. Sechelt Mayor Darren Inkster signed the taxpayer pledge Wednesday, as did Port Moody councillor Diana Dilworth and Coquitlam councillor Linda Reimer. Coquitlam council candidates Terry Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill and Andy Shen also stepped up, along with Vancouver mayoral candidate Suzanne Anton and three contenders for Vancouver council seats.

Shachi Kurl, the B.C. director of the CFIB, said the initial response is good, considering her group was told not a single incumbent would publicly support the pledge. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping candidates for municipal office will carry the taxpayer pledge message into their campaigns. The UBCM executive issued its own analysis this spring, rebutting several years of CFIB claims that municipal spending is out of control. The UBCM analysis points to rising police, firefighting and recreation costs, as well as those imposed by senior governments such as paying for carbon offsets. Colwood Mayor Dave Saunders also signed the pledge, although he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seeking reelection. He said the tax targets are similar to what his council has accomplished by this year, and he would have signed the pledge if he was running in November. Unionized municipal workers have to look at the state of the economy and see if their wage demands are holding back the growth of their communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business tax base, Saunders said in an interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The private sector canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect a cost of living pay increase every year, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair in relation to union or private to say oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get it but not the other,â&#x20AC;? he said. Joining the CFIB in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s push for spending restraint is the Independent Contractors and Business Association. The ICBA produced a report detailing a similarly steep rise in municipal fees for construction, linking it to union contracts that feature pay and perks well beyond the private sector average of recent years. ICBA president Phil Hochstein said â&#x20AC;&#x153;gold platedâ&#x20AC;? union contracts with wage increases beyond inflation and benefits such as cash payouts for unused sick days are a key driver of costs.

Two languages, one friendship Melissa WELSH Contributor

ne Abbotsford family will have some special French flavour this Thanksgiving holiday. Melanie Kneisky, a student from France, has been staying with the family of Alexandra Johnson for just over two months. Both teens are part of an exchange program run by French institution Organisme de Sejours Educatifs Francais (OSEF). Alexandra, who attends Yale secondary, is the only Abbotsford student participating with OSEF this fall. The two Grade 11 students have found that while discovering new cultures and surroundings, sometimes the best of friendships are formed. The two girls describe their bond between bursts of laughter. “I don’t feel homesick, because I feel like this is my own home here,” Melanie says. With a few, sometimes humorous, differences. Sitting in the kitchen, Melanie laughs at the jingle coming from the dryer, indicating the clothes are done. She’s never heard it before. Just like she never tasted peanut butter before coming to Canada. “They put it on toast,” she says in disbelief. “Oh, I don’t like it.” Alexandra’s mom Daphne mentions that the program coordinators described two stereotypes of French students – they hate peanut butter but are addicted to Nutella; and their rooms are immaculately kept. While the first statement is true – with Melanie going through an entire jar of Nutella in only four days – the latter is not. Melanie’s laissezfair approach to her bedroom may be due to the fact that Daphne has focused on treating her like family instead of a guest.. The contrast in cultures has resulted in some adjustments for both Melanie and the Johnson clan. The most apparent

is food – not the type, but the quantity, and time it takes to eat. While students at Yale Secondary have 40 minutes to gather their lunch, eat and head back for class, Melanie says that back home in Belfort, France, lunch is an hour minimum. “At lunch we eat a lot. We have one plate, one little thing like that and one dessert,” Melanie says, gesturing with her hands to indicate generous portions. “So, we need time.” At her school, cantina supervisors will not let students leave before a half-hour has passed, to prevent eating too fast. Daphne notes how at home, Melanie has had to adjust to the fact that Canadians usually only eat one large meal a day, for dinner, and that there isn’t always dessert afterwards. What does follow, however, are some interesting conversations. Learning about the Canadian government has been something Melanie has enjoyed, and often she and the family will talk about the political differences between this province and her country. Other subjects have proved difficult. Melanie had to transfer out of psychology because she could not keep up due to the dense reading material. Language issues are something Alexandra may experience travelling to France in January for her threemonth stay. A French-immersion student up until Grade 9, Alexandra will be exposed to a new version of French, rather than the Quebecois she was taught. Melanie’s history teacher classified it as the French Parisians spoke 200 years ago, most likely preserved because Quebec is sandwiched between English-speaking provinces. Meanwhile, other observations are made. Everything else is bigger here, Melanie says, like the houses and even the cities. After a shopping excursion to downtown Vancouver, Melanie

said she could not live in the city. While she may go to Paris to have fun, at home there is one street in town lined with stores. “It is impossible to lose yourself there.” But there are other things in the Lower Mainland that she has fallen in love with – one being the abundance of trees. To Melanie, driving between cities here is like driving between forests, because trees are everywhere. It is not like that in France, she says. “There’s something about the colour of

the leaves with the sun coming through. I love it,” Melanie said. The maple tree is her favourite. The exchange has been one of the best experiences of her life, Melanie says. And while she has enjoyed the beautiful landscape B.C. has to offer, it is the friendship with Alexandra and her family that has made the trip so memorable. That relationship is what both girls say they’ll be thankful for this holiday weekend. It will be the first MELISSA WELSH Contributor Thanksgiving Melanie Alexandra Johnson and Melanie Kneisky at the Johnsons’ Abbotsford home. will experience.

Candles one of major causes of home fires Candles provide great warmth and ambience to any home. It is easy to forget that an open flame that can reach 1,400 C. Most candle fires begin in the bedroom – with a mattress or bedding cited as the first item to ignite – except during the holidays, when more people use candles precariously close to decorations. Furniture and plastics are also cited as the first items in a home to catch fire from a lit candle.

Ensuring our water for

today and tomorrow Our Position on Stave Lake: Mayor Peary “All of us, every day use water. It is without a doubt, the single most important resource in our lives and yet we live in the privileged position of hardly ever needing to think about it. For our community, that situation has changed. As early as 2016, we are facing a serious threat to our ability to supply Abbotsford with sufﬁcient amounts of water. It is up to all of us today to ensure that our water supply remains safe, constant and abundant. By supporting the Stave Lake Project, we will address water supply concerns for ourselves, for our children, and for our grandchildren.” John Smith “Maintaining a reliable water supply for Abbotsford is an issue that none of us can afford to ignore. By 2016, without a new water source, we will be facing some serious challenges as a community including impacts to our economy, our families and our livelihoods. Developing Stave Lake as a P3 project ensures we have an affordable, economically stable solution to this issue. “ Dave Loewen “Ensuring that we maintain an adequate water supply is vital to the continued economic prosperity of Abbotsford. Developing Stave Lake will provide our community with the safety and security for ﬁre protection, basic water supply and growth that we require. Without this new water source, we will place our community in serious jeopardy.”

Bill MacGregor “It is vitally important that Abbotsford have an adequate water supply that meets the needs of all residents. By developing Stave Lake, we will be able to ensure that Abbotsford has a clean, safe and ample supply of water for generations to come.”

Les Barkman “Our citizens and our businesses rely on having a good, clean and safe water supply every day. By developing Stave Lake as our new water source, we will be able to continue to support our community in carrying out the daily activities that we currently take for granted.” Moe Gill “An adequate supply of clean water is critical for our community; for residents, farms, businesses and institutions. By developing a new source at Stave Lake, we will continue to ensure that clean, safe and reliable water is available for everyone in Abbotsford.”

Lynne Harris “The need for water is universal and we cannot sustain our community without it. It is critical that we take every step necessary to ensure our water supply is sufﬁcient to meet our needs. Stave Lake provides us with the best opportunity of securing a long term, safe, and plentiful water source for Abbotsford.”

Simon Gibson “Developing Stave Lake as our new water source is the most cost effective and sustainable way for us to ensure that our residents have a secure water supply that will support them today and far into the future. If Abbotsford is unsuccessful in providing a stable water supply, we will effectively diminish our community’s ability to be successful.”

Bearcats dreaming big CBC men’s volleyball team aims to defend its national title at home Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

It’s been nearly seven months since the Columbia Bible College men’s volleyball team won the national championship, but it still feels a little bit surreal to head coach Rocky Olfert. “I don’t think we’ll maybe realize what we’ve done until later in our lives, just what kind of feat that was,” Olfert marveled on Tuesday, as his team prepared to embark on the 2011-12 campaign. Olfert’s lingering shock could be forgiven, in light of the fact the Bearcats’ run to the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association title kind of materialized out of nowhere. CBC’s Cinderella run began in the provincial semifinals, when they upset a Douglas College Royals squad which had beaten them in all three previous meetings during the regular season. The win gave the Bearcats a wild card berth to nationals. Then at the national tourney in Sherbrooke, Que., the sixth-seeded CBC

squad knocked off the top three teams – No. 3 Sherbrooke, No. 2 Briercrest, and No. 1 UBC-Okanagan – en route to clinching the gold medal. This year, the Bearcats already know they’ll be playing at nationals – they’re hosting the event from March 8-10, and they’re determined to put up a spirited defence of their title at home. “It definitely gives us confidence, knowing what we can do,” said sophomore left side Will Quiring, reflecting on last season’s accomplishments. “But at the same time, we don’t want to be looking back. We want to be looking forward. We have a long, long ways to go before nationals.” Under different circumstances, players like Quiring and setter Jason Warkentin might not be suiting up for the Bearcats this fall. Quiring, a Saskatoon, Sask. native, had several scholarship offers from Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) programs after earning MVP honours Continued on A31

The under-18 boys soccer team from Magnuson Ford Mariners FC got off to a terrific start at the national championship tournament, winning their first two games in Fredricton, N.B. On Wednesday, the Mariners thumped the host Fundy United Vitos 6-0, and they followed that up with a 1-0 win over Winsloe-Charlottetown R o y a l s , the Prince E d w a r d Island representative, on Thursday. In the opener, the Abby side broke open ERRINGTON a close game with four goals after halftime. Daniel Molendijk led the way with a pair of goals, with Justin Sekhon,Trent Mayer, Simi Singh and Antony Urbano adding singles. On Thursday, the Mariners battled both their PEI foes and the elements. Cold, windy conditions influenced the play to a great degree, but Abbotsford pulled out the victory when Simi Singh converted Andy Phillips's cross Continued on A32

Cascades athletic director departs Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

The University of the Fraser Valley

and Cascades athletic director Rick Nickelchok are parting ways.

The circumstances surrounding Nickelchokâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely

clear. A brief press release issued by the university on Wednesday stated that

on personnel issues. Nickelchok, likewise, declined comment when contacted by The News. Chris Bertram, head of UFVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kinesiology and physical education department and the coach of the Cascades menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team, w i l l serve as interim athletic director. â&#x20AC;&#x153; A t t h i s point, all NICKELCHOK we know is, Rick is off pursuing other things, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wishing him all the best and thanking him for the time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s given to the program,â&#x20AC;? Bertram said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fairly up to speed with the workings of the department, and what the immediate responsibilities and priorities are. Really, all Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to do right now is ensure that the disruption to the program is minimized and all the coaches and studentathletes are able to carry on with their business of preparing for their seasons.â&#x20AC;? In terms of a timeline for securing a new athletic director, Bertram said the university is doing a review of the job description. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some thought there might be a bit of a reworking of the roles of that particular position,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been determined, there will be a search commencing immediately.â&#x20AC;? Nickelchok had served as Cascades athletic director since July of 2007, when he was hired away from a similar position at Brandon University.

Grewal, Moedt lead Cascades past ’Cats The University of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball team took it to the Columbia Bible College Bearcats in preseason action, thumping their crosstown rivals 88-33 in exhibition action on Wednesday evening at Columbia Place. The favoured CIS squad opened the game on an 11-0 run and never looked back, out-rebounding their PACWest college foe 51-37 en route to the victory. Kyle Grewal and Jasper Moedt – both returning to the Cascades lineup this fall after sitting out with torn ACLs last season – led the way in the scoring column.

Grewal scored a game-high 17 points, while Moedt chipped in with 14. First-year guard Kevin Ford led the Bearcats with 16 points. The Cascades hosted Quest University on Thursday evening, but that result was unavailable at press time. They continue the preseason on Oct. 13, when they host the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology at Sardis Secondary (8 p.m. start). Up next for the CBC men’s hoopsters is a home-court date with Northwest Indian College on Oct. 13 at 7 p.m.

Soccer stars Shopland, Phagura honoured by UFV her squad to a 2-0 win over Lethbridge on Saturday and was named player of the match in UFV's 1-0 loss to Calgary on Sunday. Phagura, a firstyear defender from Abbotsford, was a

strong presence for the UFV men's squad during a scoreless draw with Victoria on Saturday. For his efforts, Phagura earned his second player of the match honour of the season.

Mackenzie Shopland and Sahib Phagura have been named the University of the Fraser Valley athletes of the week. Shopland, a rookie midfielder with the Cascades women's soccer team, helped

at nationals. Warkentin, meanwhile, is in the intercultural studies program at CBC, and is supposed to be overseas on an eightmonth missionary internship this year. But for both players, the lure of defending the champi-

onship at home was too enticing to pass up. “This is my hometown, and it’s our school,” explained Warkentin, a Mennonite Educational Institute grad. “I thought this is the right place to be this year. Seeing this gym packed, it’s going to be awesome.” Q The PACWest volleyball

regular season opens next weekend. The CBC teams play a doubleheader at Capilano University on Friday and Saturday, while their counterparts from the University of the Fraser Valley are at Douglas College. For more coverage, visit abbynews.com

into the box in the 65th minute. "The wind was blowing the whole game, and it was a great equalizer," Mariners head coach Alan Errington said. "It's hard to play when the ball is being blown down the field the whole time. "But we played quite well, really. There was never a danger of getting scored on." After blowing out the New Brunswick squad to open the national tourney, Errington felt it was good for his team to weather a close game against PEI. "If we'd gone in and won 5-0 today, I think we might have been a bit cocky," he said. "But now we've only won 1-0, and it's a bit of a reality check. It reinforces that we can't take anything for granted. We've got to perform every game." The Mariners continue pool play against Manitoba on Friday and against Quebec on Saturday. The winners of each of the two pools move on to the title game on Monday.

Abram Tilitzky was born on September 9, 1920 in Einlage, Russia, the youngest of seven children, to Gerhard and Elisabeth (Giesbrecht) Tilitzky. He passed into the presence of his Lord on October 04, 2011 at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital. At the age of 5 Abram left Russia and arrived in Canada with his widowed mother and his siblings at the Port of Quebec aboard the Montclair. The family settled near the town of Herbert, Saskatchewan where Abram attended school and as a young man, together with his brothers and sisters, helped to support his mother by working on nearby farms. At the age of 19 he met the love of his life, Susan Harder, at the local Mennonite Church and together they forged a bond that was to last for over 70 years. Following a ﬁve year courtship they were married on June 25, 1944 in Herbert Saskatchewan. Always a hard worker Abram supported his wife and growing family by whatever means possible and at the same time used his love for music and his amazing bass voice to serve God in the church and on radio singing in a male quartet. In 1950 together, with his wife and two small children, he moved to BC and settled in Clearbrook where with his talent in sales, that he had developed selling door to door in Saskatchewan, he had no trouble ﬁnding work. In 1954, together with his wife Susan, he opened Abe’s Furniture and Appliances. In BC the family grew to eight; three daughters and three sons. His love for people and his unmatched generosity left a legacy that is still spoken of today. Abe leaves behind Susan, his loving wife of 67 years; daughters Sharon Funk (Len); Susan Falk (Jack); Beverly Johnston (Robert); sons Paul Tilitzky (Florinda Clifford); Michael Tilitzky (Marion Syme); and Richard Tilitzky (Vicki). He also leaves behind twelve grandchildren; Sherry Redekop, Len Funk Jr., Stephanie Konrad, Michele Gingras, Jacqueline Block, Andrea Fikkert, Janine Neufeld, Clarance Tilitzky, Liam Tilitzky, Amy Tilitzky, Jason Tilitzky, and Jodi Tilitzky; eighteen great-grandchildren and three great-greatgrandchildren. Abram was predeceased by both of his parents and all of his siblings. Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 pm on October 11, 2011 at Level Ground, (formerly West Abbotsford Church), 31216 King Road, Abbotsford BC. Online condolences may be given at www.woodlawnfh-abbotsford.com.

OBITUARIES

Why did my child

die before me? . . . sometimes life is unfair

Area Manager DIGNITY FUNERAL HOMES

I had many conversations with my father during my time at home. My father wanted to take the place of his daughter. He told me that he was experiencing a lot of problems. He said that Dio (God) better come and take him ﬁrst before He comes and takes any of his daughters. My father was in denial. He was battling the fact that his child was going to die before him. When death takes place, reality sets in. A new chapter begins in our life. Death is a painful experience but it exists. It leaves a vacuum in our life. We experience the pain of grief. The physical separation of our loved one brings suffering and many of us are not prepared to face this reality. Every day, we prepare ourselves to live but

we seldom prepare ourselves to die. Yet, it could happen to anyone of us. My father just thought that this would not happen to him. He had a hard life growing up. He worked hard, he provided for his family, he treated his fellow man with respect, and he retired comfortably. But, my father had no control over his daughter’s situation. How could it be that his daughter is dying? She was only 58. It was his ﬁrstborn child. As we communicated with each other, I had to impress upon him that Pat was dying and there was no cure except death itself. I had hope for eternal life and he had hope for continued life on earth.
