Notice of Public Hearing to consider amendments to Abbotsford Zoning Bylaw, 1996

ABBOTSFORD ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW BYLAW NO. 1778-2008

The public is invited to attend a consultation meeting regarding the design and development of the new playground equipment for Matsqui Village Park on April 13, 2011. Drop in anytime from 6:30 pm- 8:30 pm at the Matsqui Community Hall located at 33676 Olaf Avenue, Abbotsford.

Abbotsford Council will hold a Public Hearing at 7:00 p.m. on April 18, 2011, in the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, B.C., under the provisions of the Local Government Act to consider the following bylaws. At the Public Hearing, all persons who believe their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaws will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaws that are the subject of the hearing.

Reminder to Dog Owners The City of Abbotsford’s Dog Licence Bylaw requires all dogs over the age of four months, to be licensed. Licensing your dog shows that you are a responsible pet owner and greatly increases the chance of having your pet returned to you, should it get loose. Licence fees support the return of lost dogs to their homes and helps provide new homes for others. They also help offset the cost of providing animal control services such as dealing with dangerous dogs, resolving barking dog complaints and enforcing leash laws.

The following is a synopsis of the bylaws amending the Zoning Bylaw of the City of Abbotsford, and is not deemed to be an interpretation. A copy of each bylaw and relevant background documentation may be inspected in the Economic Development & Planning Services Department (Second Floor), Abbotsford City Hall, 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, B.C., on April 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 18, 2011, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. If you have any questions, please contact Planning Services Staff at 604-864-5510.

Abbotsford sculptor Norm Wiliams created this statue of former Canucks coach Roger Neilson which now stands outside Rogers Arena in Vancouver.

A larger-than-life bronze statue of Roger Neilson that now greets Vancouver Canucks fans as they make their way into Rogers Arena was created by an Abbotsford sculptor. Norm Williams, 67, was chosen for the project last spring and estimates he put 1,200 hours into the work. The statue, which is more than 16 feet (4.9 metres) tall and weighs 800 pounds (363 kg), was unveiled Thursday, prior to the Canucks’ regularseason home finale. The permanent outdoor tribute was part of the Canucks’ 40th anniversary celebrations, as they spent the night honouring the former coach who first led the team to the Stanley Cup finals. The statue, cast in Langley, is located on the North Plaza outside Rogers Arena, on the corner of Expo Boulevard and Abbott Street. Neilson was inducted into the Hockey Hall of

Fame’s builder category in 2002 and passed away the following year at the age of 69. He earned a spot in Canucks lore during the 1982 playoffs. With what he perceived as questionable officiating from the referees against his team during the Campbell Conference championship series against the Chicago Blackhawks, Neilson grabbed one of his players’ sticks and hung a towel off the end, waving it in mock surrender. Those actions got him tossed from the game, but when the team arrived back at the Pacific Coliseum for the series’ next game, the Canucks were greeted by thousands of white-towel waving fans. The “Towel Power” tradition thrives to this day, with fans waving white towels during the playoffs, a tradition picked up by several other teams as well. Williams remembers watching the incident against Chicago on TV. Continued on A6

Riatt gets another rescue

Everyone Welcome! HOPE is PERSEVERING and remembering that even the snail made it to the ARK RK

Caretaker Ann Turner admits that Riatt isn’t the smartest horse in the meadow. The 25-year-old mare required a helping hand from Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) on Thursday morning when she couldn’t get to her feet. The same thing happened to the horse just two months ago, shortly after she arrived for boarding on Turner’s Sumas Mountain property. “I don’t know what her problem is,” Turner laughed the day after video-online the latest incident. Turner was doing her daily farm www.abbynews.com chores while Riatt was lying comfortably not far from the fence, where the ground is sloped. Her legs were facing downhill. Not long afterwards, the barking of Turner’s dogs drew her to the sight of Riatt scrambling to get up. In her panic, she had turned her body around, and her head was now facing downhill – in a repeat performance of her previous predicament. Turner and a neighbour were unable to move her, and AFRS once again had to be called to the scene. Deputy Fire Chief Mike Helmer said Riatt’s head was covered to settle her down. Fire crews then dug a small canal

Landlord sentenced Dad finds lack of remorse disappointing Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The dad of a family of four terrorized by their landlord last fall said he is satisfied with the 18-month prison sentence handed out Tuesday, although he is disappointed the man has shown no remorse. Paramjeet Jandu, 42, was convicted in Abbotsford provincial court of mischief, uttering threats and arson in relation to his attack on the Tjepkema family on Oct. 13, 2010. He has been in prison since his arrest that day. Brian said Jandu refused to take part in psychiatric evaluations that were ordered, and has shown no remorse for the crimes he committed. However, the family is happy the case has concluded. “We’re at the point now where we feel like we can move on,” Brian said. He said he is particularly pleased with the lifetime firearms prohibition given to

No gun was used in the incident, but Jandu’s potential for violence warranted such a ban, the judge determined. “The judge said he still finds it disturbing to hear the kids in

Lockdowns at five schools

Students report hearing shots, police seek owner of car Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The registered owner of a car that was reported to have had shots fired from it on Thursday afternoon is known to police, according to Const. Ian MacDonald. He said police were still trying to track down the individual for questioning as of press deadline yesterday. “If there is a firearm involved, we’d like to get that off the street.” The incident resulted in five schools – Rick Hansen Secondary, Eugene Reimer Middle, and Blue Jay, Dave Kandal and Harry Sayers elementaries – being locked down for about an hour, ending at 1:05 p.m.

Police locked down five schools after a shots-fired report Thursday. At 11:20 a.m, a group of high school students on their lunch break saw a grey Honda Accord turn west at the intersection of Blueridge and Townline

roads. They heard what they thought were gunshots coming from the vehicle and made note of the licence plate, MacDonald said.

School staff were notified, and contacted police, who advised that precautionary measures be put in place. “A decision was made to put five schools in the area into lock-down in the early stages of this investigation to best ensure the safety of students and staff,” MacDonald said. Police have not been able to confirm whether the sound heard by the students was gunfire or some other noise, but he praised the teens for their actions. “They did the right thing by reporting it.” Police are continuing to investigate and are asking for anyone with information to call 604-859-5225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

KPHS will then transfer ownership of the vacant land to the City of Abbotsford for the new development. A public information meeting about the centre will be held from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13 at 31250 King Rd. “The province is working alongside the City of Abbotsford and the Kinghaven Peardonville Housing Society for the development of this muchneeded transitional housing project,” said John van Dongen, MLA for Abbotsford South. “We are proud to name this facility in honour of the late George Schmidt, Kinghaven’s longest-serving board member and a man dedicated to serving the needs of those we serve. When complete, the George Schmidt Centre will provide support services and stable housing for men at risk of homelessness in our community,” said Milt Walker, executive director, Kinghaven Peardonville Housing Society.

a tape that Brian made after turning on his video camera when Jandu began his attack. Jandu lived in the basement suite of the Abbotsford home he owned, while the Tjepkemas – mom Korinne, dad Brian and their son Koby and daughter Mercy – rented the upstairs. On the day of the attack, Jandu began swearing, yelling and banging around the basement suite, and could be heard threatening to set the house on fire. Jandu then took a hammer to the basement door, which led to the upper portion of the house and was locked from the Tjepkemas’ side. When the heavy door wouldn’t budge, he went outside to the front of the house. He threw the hammer against the glass beside the door, yelled at Brian, who was at the top of the stairs, and

ran back to his suite, where he made more commotion. Police who were called to the scene found Jandu sitting on the front lawn. They discovered he had poured cooking oil over the entire kitchen of his suite and had turned on all four burners on the electric stove. The couple believed Jandu’s actions were aimed at getting them to move so he could raise the rent, which he couldn’t legally do because they had only lived in the home for a few months. The couple left immediately after the incident, but Brian said they are still traumatized by what happened. His son and daughter share a room because they are afraid to sleep alone, and they panic if Brian or Korinne is out of their sight. Further adding to their distress is the fact that Brian was diagnosed last year with

He said the most difficult part of the sculpture was a limited stock of photos to work from, and they were either taken from too far away or didn’t reveal any emotion on Neilson’s face. “You need photographs where you can really see details on the guy, like lines in the face and find expressions and some candid poses,” Williams said.

“I wanted him to look exasperated, (so) I had to rely on what I knew about him and remembered about him.” Williams remembered Neilson having a wrinkled brow and bushy eyebrows. “You had to have some indication of that and some indication of how he chewed his lip from the inside,” Williams added. “It is quite the challenge fitting it altogether and making it right because there are people who will know and will call you on it if you are wrong.” The initial work, with which an assistant helped him for about five weeks, was done at Williams’ studio in Abbotsford.

Neilson’s head and hands were made out of clay – getting the face just right took multiple tries – and then set in plaster. The body was moulded directly in plaster. Once that was completed, Williams transported the plaster statue to In Bronze, a fine art bronze casting foundry in Langley four months ago. There it was transformed from its mould into the finished piece. The result was a seven-foot statue of Neilson, wearing a suit and tie, with his left hand tucked into his jacket pocket. The right hand is raised above his head with a towel draped over the end.

A call for traffic safety Residents want measures to control traffic at busy intersection

Horse got a good talking-to

From A4

Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

Residents living in the Whatcom Road and Mountain Drive area are asking for swift action to improve traffic safety. Lubbert van der Laan, one of the spokespeople for the group, said a traffic light is needed at the Whatcom/Mountain intersection to deter speeding cars and make it safer for vehicles to turn off Mountain Drive. They also want a pedestrian crosswalk at the intersection. There is an existing crosswalk at Lower Sumas Mountain Road, but van der Laan said it isn’t enough. Speed is just one concern as Whatcom Road has a “serpentine” curve and visibility at the intersection is poor. “You can start to turn and then a car is right there,” he said. The residents are trying to talk with council and have met several times with the city’s traffic safety advisory committee. They say a light is a compromise. Originally, the group wanted a new “on ramp” lane to allow drivers to pull out safely, at an estimated cost of about $350,000. “We are trying our best to be reasonable. We know cost is a concern and there’s an election coming up,” said van der Laan But safety comes first. While some drivers do speed on Whatcom, van der Laan thinks much of it is not intentional. “Whatcom has a grade of between nine and 12 per cent. Cars speed up.” Coun. Lynne Harris agreed the situation needs to be addressed. “”Not only have we opened up Whatcom Road, but a developer

the “intersection ahead” sign on Whatcom Road, to warn drivers as they come down the hill. Van der Laan doesn’t think it’s enough and convinced council to direct staff to take a second look. But changes are not guaranteed. “My sense is that the traffic doesn’t go as fast down Whatcom as it does down McKee,” said

Mayor George Peary, who frequently drives on Whatcom. He said an increase in police traffic enforcement may help deter speeders, but isn’t confident a light will solve the residents’ concerns. There are already several lights on the street and adding another could increase the problems, according to Peary.

“It could make it more dangerous.” Peary’s fear is that drivers running the yellow, or braking suddenly to stop, could cause more potential accidents. “I’m not sure what we will do,” he said, adding that council will wait for the staff to bring back its report. “At the very least we will go to a no left turn out of Mountain Drive.”

Turner was still shaking her head about the incident the next day. “Most horses have the good sense to lie down in a place where they can get back up,” she said. Turner joked that she gave Riatt a good talking-to after it was all over, reminding her to think about where she lies down. “She looked at me like, ‘I know. I forgot.’ ” Turner surmises Riatt has difficulty getting up due to her right side having been weakened by a suspected prior pelvic injury. She then tries to maneuver to her left side, but being positioned on the hill produces the opposite result. Turner said she’s not sure what she can do to prevent a third incident, but hopes Riatt has learned from the experiences. Helmer said “it’s not a huge deal” that AFRS has been called twice to the same incident, but ongoing calls would be a concern. “If it were to happen again, we’d arrive and speak to the owners and really see about compassionately where the animal’s at and what its takes for Fire Service to show up,” he said, adding that AFRS strives to demonstrate the “utmost compassion” at all times.

QUESTION

OF THE WEEK Do you support the new tiered water fee structure?

Tiered water rates How many millions to install the radio read meters? The meters are designed to show more accuratly by-the-month usage. If mayor and council are just going to charge seasonal rates anyways, why even install the meters? Why not just install an automatic valve that shuts off after your water allotment is up. And well owners, don’t feel too smug. It will only be a matter of time until you pay a yearly licence fee to have them. wascobi

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Is Canada’s purchase of F35 fighter aircraft an issue for you in this election?

While it might be nice for the mayor to not see an exorbitant increase in his two-person household’s water bill, my eight-person household will be severely penalized. (No, I do not have 6 children!) We consume the same amount of water per person as the mayor’s household does, but that also means that we use four times as much water overall because we have four times as many people. We will be charged into the third tier because of this new water rate plan. I will see a water “tax” increase of $200 to $400. Rick Baker

My View May 2 is another election day. The election pundits will tell you it’s a real chance to decide who runs the show in Ottawa. After years of minority government, the Tories could ﬁnally pull it off and get the keys to the car and a full tank of gas. The rhetoric in coming weeks could get intense, and it will be hard to fathom the truth in it all. Will the Tories really put half of us in jail and give the other half highpowered riﬂes to protect ourselves? Is Michael Ignatieff really a Russian spy? Is Jack Layton really Ted Turner? So many webs to untangle. But who cares? Elections come and go like dashed Stanley Cup dreams around these parts. It’s like watching the rain through

your window at work. Don’t worry, you’ll get another chance to enjoy it on the weekend. Elections aren’t worth noting at all. Most people should just hit the couch that first Monday in May, watch Dancing with the Stars, maybe tune into the news later to see who won this time. Getting up and hoofing it to the polling station? No way. Better to spend that energy elsewhere, like trying to fathom the great features on that shiny iPhone or removing that ugly stain from the toilet bowl. Leave it to those suckers who keep voting year after year. Just think how much responsibility those masochists willingly bear on their shoulders. Because of dwindling voter turnout, each one of their votes carries a weight that is actually much more significant. They’re not just voting for themselves, they’re voting on behalf of others too. Poor sods. Think about it. Federal election turnout was 59 per

cent in 2008, provincial turnout in 2009 was just 50 per cent. And in the last municipal election three years ago, in my city of New Westminster less than one-quarter of all eligible voters came out. Suddenly, every patsy who follows

Because of dwindling voter turnout, each one of their votes carries a weight that is actually much more significant. the issues, gets to know the candidates and forces himself to make a decision has found himself forced to carry the weight of four. Suckers. I suppose we could ease the load on these blokes and sheilas, and follow the path of Australia.

Force everyone to vote. Make it the law. There’d be 100 per cent turnout and every half-wit could reach his own decision, employing his mind-makingup technology of choice. One potato, two potato. Spin the bottle. Pin the tail on the donkey. Maybe that’s why Down Under these wise folks are called the “donkey vote.” For now, my advice to you non-voters out there is to watch out. Habitual voters will try to foist their burden on you by using guilt. They’ll talk about how privileged we are to have the vote in the ﬁrst place, pointing to our free society – they might even mention the world wars. And they’ll dredge up those old, hard-fought battles waged to bring the franchise to anyone other than landowning white men. You tell them bollocks. If you don’t want to vote, don’t bother. As for me, I’m only too happy to do it for you. Chris Bryan is editor of the Burnaby/New Westminster NewsLeader.

The ‘publicization’ of water

Re: Letter from Barry O’Neill, CUPE BC president; P3 water project: It is rare that a union will agree with management on seemingly anything these days, and if Mr. O’Neill wishes to dispel that “misconception” of mine, I would be pleased to see a list of agreements between CUPE BC and any entity with which it has an interest through the collective bargaining process. The councils (Abbotsford and Mission) have planned what their senior administrative experts feel is the most cost effective way to address drinking water treatment. This may well be premised on the history of public sector costs on anything from abbreviated work hours to zoo management. In other words, invariably – or most of the time – public sector costs in getting anything done will be higher than private sector costs. With the costs involved in designing, building, financing and operating a water treatment and supply system, it goes without saying that the term of the contract will be comparable to the life expectancy of the proposed system and the period of amortization of the costs of that system. This is not a contract that would be entertained by the private sector company seeking to design and build and operate the proposed system over an annual, biannual, triennial or any other short-term period.

air. I disagree with his premise that it must be operated publicly. There is an underlying principle here of provision of service. If we take the principle of public ownership of all resources critical to our life, then what about air, energy, forestry, mineral extraction, education – the list could be endless. And while Mr. O’Neill pumps the “let’s talk about what privatization of water means to communities,” let’s also talk about stacking public meetings. I began my journalism career in 1972 and I have seen and reported on way too many “public consultation” forums, meetings, etc. that have been stacked by “self-interested” parties, who know how to skewer the consultative process’ outcomes. As I taught the late Eric Vanderham of CV Marketing research, representative sampling in any geographicallydefined area is the most accurate way of measuring public opinion on any topic. No, Mr. O’Neill, the mayors and councils are not adverse to hearing what the public has to say because the public that attends consultative processes like you would like to see, are the “public” that are interested in putting forward their own interests that may not be totally reflective of the entire “public.”

Mr. O’Neill is, like many other union officials, playing fast and loose with the English language when he says that this “is privatization of water treatment.” No, it is a long-term contract that will have termination clauses built into it, should either party feel that the stage in which there irreconcilable concerns, can be addressed without seeking legal recourse. Yes, communities will contract with a private water company, as water is not a “public entity.” There are sources of water that are held in private ownership. If such was not the case, then every ounce of water in the province would be Crown property. And, looking back at the history of the provision of water in many communities, it has been – to a large extent – undertaken by private companies as fledgling communities did not have the tax base in order to pay for the provision of such a service. So, what we have had over the years has been the “publicization” of water supply and treatment at a cost higher than politicians and council administrations have realized and have been comfortable with, politically. Whether “local ratepayers will be paying the extra costs of private financing” is a point that Mr. O’Neill has not presented any supportive evidence to back up. Water is an important resource, but the only one that I know that is free is

Trying hard to be witty, (letter-writer) Keith Kleinsteuber falls into easily recognizable cliches from the class war of the 1970s. For example, he conjures up vague, unidentified “capital interests” who, in best 1970s fantasy, have “manipulated” retirement funding. In fact, pension fund managers, whose names we hardly hear, are not capitalists at all. They work for salary. They are only managers and merely investors, not owners. From the weird world of the 1970s, Kleinsteuber imagines that his unidentified

“those” somehow “create their wealth with capital appropriated from the public.” Appropriated? There’s a hackneyed cliche from the 1970s class warfare. Jimmy Pattison no more “appropriated” wealth than does the man who owns a small restaurant. Both men offer goods to the public, which then freely decides whether to choose. If wealth could simply be “appropriated,” why aren’t we all doing it? Kleinsteuber makes it sound so easy. You just appropriate. Why didn’t American Motors simply appropriate wealth?

Look at Chilliwack Lake water supply

Re: More water for Abbotsford A study has been done by B.C. Hydro on Chilliwack Lake, for Abbotsford and Surrey. You need a pipeline and no pumps. The water runs freely by gravity. The cost would be much less than what we plan from

The answer is that it couldn’t. Instead, what used to be the fourth largest automobile manufacturer in America collapsed completely by 1981, leaving behind only rusty Ramblers. Kleinsteuber naively repeats an old theory of 1970s radicals when he fancies that “all business set their own incomes to the highest levels possible.” Oh, so that’s all it takes! You just “set” your income like setting an oven or setting your watch. Business must be easy: just “set.” An economist like the late John Kenneth Galbraith noted how empty and untestable

is the cliche “highest levels possible.” Here is the old myth of “maximizing profits.” How will anybody, including Kleinsteuber, really and truly know when incomes are at “the highest possible”? It is impossible to determine whether they have been absolutely maximized. Kleinsteuber asks, rhetorically, why we don’t take up “a sustainable economy.” In 2010, Daniel Bonevac of the University of Texas examined the vast literature on socalled “sustainablility.” Professor Bonevac discovered a dozen different definitions. Greg Lanning

Mission. I would encourage council to make a comparison between Mission and Chilliwack, costwise and quality-wise, and when you do, you will find Chilliwack Lake is a better choice. Harry Vogt

I am writing in response to Gary Huntbatch’s letter entitled “Never enough police or money for war on drugs.” I acknowledge that in some ways, Mr. Huntbatch’s concerns are justified. Managing finances will always be an important matter for governments, especially when it comes to policing and working against drug use. However, I feel that Mr. Huntbatch may be jumping to some serious conclusions about the severity of cities’ expenses regarding drug-control and the measures they are ready to undertake to secure their finances. To begin with, I’m curious as to what grounds Mr. Huntbatch has to claim that the government is planning to privatize prisons like in the U.S.A. For

my part, I genuinely hope he is making a prediction, because his description of the “slave prisons” in the U.S.A. sounds very negative. Even more negative is his description of a property in Malibu being seized by the government merely for the sake of money. This example of government violence and desperation strikes me as dramatic and unlikely, and I can’t help but question how it pertains to his critique of the current state of the B.C. government. Furthermore, I’m not sold on his idea to follow the Netherlands’ lead and decriminalize some drugs. Drug use is dangerous whether it is considered a crime or not, yet it is the criminal nature of drug use that inhibits a great number

of people from abusing these substances. If certain drugs were made legal, it is likely that the number of addicts would increase. True, they wouldn’t be considered criminals and therefore would cost less money for the governments in courts, policing and prisons – instead, the cost would be the wellbeing of many people. Lastly, I have to agree with Mr. Huntbatch when he states that our system is flawed. I don’t think any intelligent system of government could claim to be perfect. Still, this doesn’t mean it’s terrible, and it certainly doesn’t mean we should call it a lost cause for struggling to win against drug use.

She said about 4,000 applications were received this year. Duignan said more local people could be selected for filming, but the preliminary list consists of: Reg Wall and his WienerStick barbecue accessory; Gary Baars of TNT Agri-Services, which sells and delivers hay; Paul Martens with his odourless toilet called Ventex; Robert Stone of Mrtaxes.ca; and Daniel Litchy of D-light Solution.

R Beware of wild homes. Respect wildlife and allow them to thrive without disturbing them. For example, keep dogs on leashes near waterways where ground nesting birds are incubating eggs and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remove trees or shrubbery during spring nesting season. R Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t litter. It sounds obvious, but discarded trash like

R Eat less meat or buy SPCA Certified products. Eating less meat helps reduce, for example, the global destruction of rainforests for cattle production. Choosing locally raised SPCA Certified products is your assurance that animals are raised to a high welfare standard. R Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy products made from wildlife parts. Shoes, purses, wallets and clothing are often made from the skins or parts of either â&#x20AC;&#x153;farmed wildlifeâ&#x20AC;? or from animals taken from the wild.

R Support sustainable seafood products. Avoid eating fish and seafood which come from vulnerable habitats, practices which have lethal impacts on other species or whose populations are at risk from poor management. Look online for seafood guides. R Say no to exotic pets. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support the keeping of wild animals as pets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; snakes, frogs, parrots, sugar gliders and turtles are all examples of wild animals deserving to be left in their native habitats. R Pledge financial support for Wild ARC, (wildarc.com), the BC SPCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wildlife rehabilitation centre in Metchosin on Vancouver Island. Wild ARC cares nearly than 2,000 injured and orphaned wild animals every year. Visit spca.bc.ca for info.

Many changes in the ’20s

Do you have OLD or ESTATE jewellery?

Success, stability and increasing prosperity This article is part of community-wide centennial celebrations honouring the building of the National Historic Site Gur Sikh Temple (est. 1911). These centenary celebrations bring to the forefront the efforts of those first Sikh pioneers who helped to build our community. In honour of this pioneering community, the Abbotsford News will be publishing a monthly article to correspond with a decade of Sikh Pioneer and Indo Canadian history in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia, and Canada. Increasing Stability: 1921-1930 The decade during the First World War brought increasing stability and security to South Asians in British Columbia. This was due in part because of the three hundred or so wives

and children who arrived in Canada. They enjoyed a significant amount of independence and liberty. South Asian Canadians used their enclosed freedom to unite their domestic, economic and community organizations. The liveliness of power which was used for political protest in the previous decade was being aimed to-

wards making Canada into their homeland. Although immigration regulations were still affecting the community, it was in a much more muted form than before. In 1920, the Canadian government decided that any South Asian Canadian who did not hold a registering out certificate would lose domicile and would not be allowed to enter

and shingle mills. They started selling scrap woods and within a few years were involved in the fuel business. Many of them were hired by lumber companies already owned by South Asian fami-

During the 1920s, the South Asian community in Canada began to experience many changes, including financial success and more acceptance for their new community.

“Snake Charmer!” That’s the reputation our electricians have earned because of the creative and efﬁcient manner in which they “snake” electrical wiring through existing walls. Our guys have spent their professional careers magically running cable in places where others say it’s impossible. And they do it without creating large gaping holes in your walls, so there’s never extensive “surprise” patching needed. I can tell you from experience, that 99.9% of electricians do not have this same track record. Most electrical contractors are clueless about snaking wires professionally, because the majority of their work is in new homes, before the drywall goes up. Let one of them (or the cable TV guy) run wiring in your home, and they’ll most likely staple it along a baseboard (ugly and unprofessional) or punch a hole in your wall, causing you, additional, inconvenience and expense in repairs and repainting. On the other hand, our guys are masters at hiding wires in your walls.

In addition to possessing almost superhuman snake charming skills, Blue Crest Electric technicians are: Q On time. We guarantee we’ll arrive within the 2 hour window of your appointment.

lies and later on, they moved to Vancouver Island. At that time there were only a few community leaders among those and they worked hard towards their community. Soon the Sikhs started farming in Kamloops, Kelowna and Alberta. It was clear that South Asian entrepreneurial activities were well developing at that time. By then 10 per cent of the Indo Canadian population was self employed. Though they were working the same as their fellow white Canadians they were still paid less than their white counterparts. Most often, South Asians were saving 10 per cent of their income in order to support their families back home in India. By the end of 1920’s their economic foothold in Canada was considerably more firm than that of many more European immigrant groups. The economic success of South Asians in this decade did lessen many racial restrictions which they faced in the earlier decade. Men who were without their families generally preferred to

live together and were isolated from other Canadians. South Asian households spent the bare minimum on furnishings such as beds and tables. Sikhs in India would likely have lived in extended households but Canadian immigration made it impossible to do so. Thus, wives who were in Canada at the time were looking after the homes and lost the rich social communities they had in India. In order to assimilate into Canadian a n d We s t e r n culture, S o u t h Asian Canadians sent their children to Canadian schools. They also began wearing European clothes. This resulted in a second generation that was the middle man between two cultures. In other areas of life discrimination decreased gradually at school, and social interaction with other Canadians increased slightly. A small number of Caucasians even started visiting Gurdwara’s during major celebrations. Renting houses also became much easier. Despite these small changes, some businesses including cinemas and high-class restaurants continued to refuse service to South Asians. These restrictions persisted until the depression. During the 1920s the general image of South Asians in Canada improved considerably which reflected their increasing prosperity and roots in the country. – Rimple Mohindra, Centre for Indo Canadian Studies, UFV.

Early spring colour I’ve never seen a year that has stayed so cold and wet even into April, and we’re all starved for some outdoor colour. Early cool colour plants must be able to handle unexpected late frosts, cold winds and lots of very heavy rain. This is no small task! Fortunately over the past few years, some wonderful new plant varieties have found their way into the market, and let me assure you, they are up to all of these challenges. Moving plants directly from a warm greenhouse to the cold outdoors will cause too much stress and will seriously set the plants back, especially if the weather is very windy and cool. The second thing to keep in mind is drainage. Make an extra effort to add plenty of fir or hemlock bark mulch or sawdust to any heavy clay soils in order to lighten them up and use well drained soils in containers. Many of us are using more and more osteospermums, but the newer and much improved varieties have certainly made a huge difference. These cool and wet loving, brilliant multicoloured daisies are so refreshing in an early garden. They stay low spreading and blend beautifully with early bulbs, pansies and early perennials like arabis and aubrieta. They are also equally at home in containers or in ground beds. We use all kinds of linarias in our gardens for long lasting cool colour. They look like miniature snapdragons. A more low spreading plant available in a good range of bright colours, you’ll find them quite striking. Nemesias, whether the more trailing Sunsatia types for baskets and containers or the newer Sundrops bedding varieties, both are ideal for some splashes of old fashioned charm. They love morning sun and afternoon shade, and when it does finally become warmer, they will keep going for the longest time. Two new series of smaller flowered mim-

Pansies are an easy way to add a little colour into a dreary, wet spring. ulus, called Calypso and Magic, have such vibrant colours and unusual flowers that they capture everyone’s attention. They also come Brian in separate colours to create some interesting combinations. Plant them in shady spots for the best long lasting results. You’ll be amazed how well they perform in cool

temperatures. What are the best cool-loving plants for a great display? By far and away, the top

Minter

Gardens performers are violas and pansies. Pansies may be old fashioned favourites, but the

colour range of pansies today is fabulous, especially some of the new designer colours like creams, pink blends and happy, bright citrus blends. My latest favourite is the new Matrix Morpheus. It’s a distinctive bicolour with mid-blue upper petals and bright yellow lower petals. Talk about standing out in a crowd.

‘Recycling’ new ideas T

here is a dress made from trash bags and pieces of a cut-up exercise ball. A wallet is made from a juice box container, and jewelry is fashioned from used computer parts. It’s all part of a Grade 12 “sculpture in ceramics” class at Robert Bateman Secondary. Teacher Ali Blair issued the challenge about three weeks ago. Students had to create a sculpture that didn’t involve clay, but used recyclable materials. “We wanted a new and exciting way to encourage the students to think about their environment and eco footprint,” she said. A photo shoot with student photographers Kiaanna Whachell and Michelle Ellis followed. The finished designs will be displayed during a lunch-time fashion show on Wednesday at the school, and later at a public arts display at Sevenoaks Shopping Centre. McCall Gleason (left) models a design by Natasha Beisel, while Patricia Annan shows a piece by Sora Yoon. Bottom right is jewelry crafted from used computer parts.

SCOTT STEWART

Trinity Western Athletics

Former Hansen Secondary classmates Trevor Klassen (left) and Jacob Doerksen have joined forces in the Trinity Western men’s basketball program.

Bonding over basketball

Unique friendship forged at Hansen Secondary has endured Doerksen and Klassen Gary AHUJA Black Press

At first glance, Jacob Doerksen and Trevor Klassen look like polar opposites. During his high school days at Rick Hansen Secondary, Doerksen was the typical big man on campus, excelling at whatever sport he chose, whether it be on the hardwood with a basketball in his hands, scoring at will, or on the gridiron, running down the seam catching passes from his quarterback

while the defence had no answer. Doerksen was a jock. Klassen was another story. He has cerebral palsy, and has spent his life in a wheelchair. Despite their differences, the pair turned out to have more in common than one might think. They shared a homeroom at Hansen, and the friendship really blossomed during a fire drill one day at school. “He was pretty scared and I was just there telling him it was going to be OK,” Doerksen said.

“From there, we ate lunch together every day.” The pair became fast friends and were soon inseparable. One bond they shared was a love of sports. “Trevor was a huge sports fan, so right away, there was that connection,” Doerksen said. “We had a lot of interests together.” Basketball provided an opportunity for the pair to join forces: Doerksen as the star player and Klassen as the team manager. After graduation, they went

their separate ways. Klassen remained in Abbotsford, while Doerksen was off to the University of Victoria, where he led the Vikes to the national championship game in 2006, which they lost to Carleton. “When he left, it was tough for me,” Klassen said. After two seasons in the B.C. capital, Doerksen transferred to Trinity Western University in Langley. Klassen became the Spartans’ team manager.

“It was really moving when Jake came over and said ‘I am going to Trinity, would you like to join me?’” he said. The relationship is mutually beneficial. For Klassen, it offers acceptance and a feeling of inclusion. For Doerksen, it provides a sense of perspective. “Trevor is not able-bodied, but the amount of heart he has, and the encouragement and positive attitude, it is huge for me,” Doerksen said. “He is always

higher quality doesn’t mean higher price. P RI C E

Hanging on by their fingernails in the playoff race, the Abbotsford Heat received some welcome reinforcements from the Calgary Flames on Thursday. Rookie forwards Lance Bouma and Greg Nemisz were reassigned to the Heat by the NHL parent club. Bouma has suited up for 16 games during a pair of call-ups with the Flames this season, posting one assist, two penalty minutes and a -1 rating. Nemisz got into six games with Calgary after being recalled on March 22, and picked up his first NHL point â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an assist â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the Flamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 6-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday. Abbotsford (37-30-4-6, 84 points) needs help to qualify for the Calder Cup playoffs, as they must overtake three teams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Oklahoma City Barons (87 points), Chicago Wolves (86) and San Antonio Rampage (85) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in order to claim the Western Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crossover playoff spot. Each team has just three games remaining in the regular season. The Heat played last night in Grand Rapids, but that result was unavailable at press time. They also play Saturday at Lake Erie, and Sunday at Toronto.

WHO WILL BE THE INTERN OF 2011?

upbeat, always great to be around. “Coming back home brought Trevor and I back together, and we are the closest we have ever been.” Their friendship is one to behold, says Trinity Western coach Scott Allen. “It is a pretty unique relationship,” he said. “I’m not sure who the big brother is.” Allen said watching them together is inspiring and shows Doerksen’s leadership qualities. “You have a guy like Jacob, who has such great athletic accolades ... and all-around nice guy,” he said. “And who does he take as his best friend, he takes one of the weakest people. “He just goes about doing what he thinks is the right thing.” Doerksen respects the fact that Klassen will be blunt in his assessment of his friend’s game, and is most often correct in his observations. “I think we feed off each other – I make Trevor laugh and then he comes back with something else,”

Jacob Doerksen hoists a shot against the UFV Cascades. Doerksen said. Doerksen’s university basketball career came to an end last month, after he led the Spartans to a silver medal at the CIS national championships, the best-ever finish in the program’s history. He’ll go down as one of the best basketball players Abbotsford has ever produced.

His trophy case features the 2006 Canada West and CIS rookie of the year, and the 2009 Canada West and CIS player of the year awards. He is also a five-time Canada West all-star and a two-time CIS first team all-star. Doerksen leaves the Spartans as the second-leading scorer

in program history, scoring 1,852 points in 88 games. He finished 17 points behind fellow Abbotsford native Adam Friesen (1,869), despite playing 11 fewer games. Q Doerksen is one of three Abbotsford products, along with Corina Reimer and Danny Horner, who wrapped up their fifth and final season of university basketball eligibility at Trinity Western this season. Reimer, an MEI grad, leaves TWU as the most prolific rebounder and shotblocker in the history of the women’s basketball program. She owns school records for most rebounds and blocked shots in a single game, in a season, and in a career. Horner, a W.J. Mouat grad, began his post-secondary hoops career at the University of the Fraser Valley, and helped the Cascades to a BCCAA title in 2006. He’s served as the Spartans’ backup point guard the past three seasons, and shot a scorching .463 from three-point range in 2010-11.

GABBOTT

HULTIN, Ivan Earl January 28, 1946-April 4, 2011

Eric DAVID David was born on December 15, 1945 in Manchester, England and passed away suddenly and quietly in his sleep in the early morning of March 23, 2011. He leaves behind Shannon and Benjie (Coffman) and all his beloved animals, especially Geline and Sally. He is survived by his mother Edna, and his two sisters Jenny (Bill Brolly) and Helan and their children and grandchildren. He was predeceased by his father Don in 2007. David grew up in England and Hong Kong with his family. He also lived and worked in Australia for a year before the family came to Canada in 1968. He and Shannon met in 1970 and have been together with Benjie since 1971, living in the beautiful Arnold area of Sumas Prairie, Abbotsford, BC. David was a kind and gentle person who touched many during his life and will be greatly missed. Friends are invited to remember David on Saturday, April 16th at 1:30 pm at Atchelitz Hall, 6542 Lickman Road, Chilliwack, BC. If so desired, remembrances may be made to SEVA, a nonproﬁt organization that works in Tibet and other countries (SEVA Canada, #100 - 2000 W. 12th Ave., Vancouver, BC V6J 2G2), the Salvation Army, SPCA or a charity of your choice.

With heavy hearts the family announces the sudden passing of Ivan. He will be sadly missed by his identical twin brother Ed (Irene). His story and humour continues through his son Rob (Leesa) and daughter, Lisa. He was blessed with two beautiful granddaughters, Kailey and Addison. Ivan leaves behind his soul mate of 16 years, Anne. Ivan touched the lives of many including his niece Cheryl (Adam) and nephew Ron (Tara), and many family members from Alberta and Saskatchewan. After a dedicated career in the provincial Court Services, he volunteered countless hours as a member of the BCGREA. Ivan devoted many Saturday nights hosting and sharing his passion for music through Karaoke, at the Eagles of which he was a decade-long member. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or SPCA is appreciated. Funeral service will be held at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Rd, Abbotsford on Monday, April 11, 2011 at 1:30 p.m., followed by reception at Eagles Hall.
