Stave Lake Water Supply & Treatment Project Council Presentation The business case for the Stave Lake Water Supply and Treatment Project will be presented to the Abbotsford and Mission Councils on April 4, 2011. To address growing demands on our water supply, the Abbotsford-Mission Water & Sewer Commission (AMWSC) is undertaking the development of Stave Lake as a new water supply source for the City of Abbotsford and the District of Mission. Approximately $300 million is required for this project, which is beyond the AMWSC’s capacity to develop alone. Cost-sharing partnerships and a variety of funding agreements are needed for the project to proceed. A business case analysis has been conducted that reviews the different ways the project can be delivered, including the traditional approach used by the AMWSC, as well as public private partnership approaches. The business case will be presented to Abbotsford City Council on April 4, 2011 at 7:00pm in the MCA Auditorium. If both Abbotsford and Mission Councils agree on April 4, 2011 that a publicprivate partnership offers the best value, they may submit an application for funding to the Federal Government for consideration under the P3 Canada Fund for up to 25 per cent funding for the project, or approximately $71.2 million dollars. If this happens, Abbotsford and Mission will seek the assent of the electors in the Fall 2011 as the next step in moving forward with the process. For more information visit www.ourwatermaters.ca.

Police seized a rifle, a handgun and ammunition from a residence in the 3400 block of Juniper Crescent on Thursday afternoon The police patrol division, along with the Municipal Integrated Emergency Response Team (MIERT) were called in to execute a warrant on the residence.

Doctor shortage Recruitment of specialists a challenge Jeff NAGEL and Kevin MILLS Black Press

Anesthesiologists are warning a shortage of doctors in their specialty is causing surgery cancellations in the Fraser Health region. At Abbotsford Regional Hospital, 50 days worth of surgeries have been lost, from Jan. 1 to now, according to Dr. James Helliwell, president of the B.C. Anaesthesiologists’ Society. He said it’s also a growing problem at Surrey Memorial, Royal Columbian and Eagle Ridge hospitals. “We’re not talking about just one or two closures but hundreds of closures,” he said. “Patients are not getting surgery in a timely fashion and the wait list is growing.” Of the 50 days lost locally, Helliwell said it was five in January, 14 in February and 31 in March. “The numbers are lower in January because anesthesiologists were working 21 to 22

A shortage of anesthesiologists is causing surgery cancellations in the Fraser Health region. days in a row.” But as they began to “burn out” the days lost steadily increased. “We are estimating 50 days lost in April,” he said. At Surrey Memorial Hospital, operating room slates have

been cancelled a total of 283 times in the past year. In the last three months, 170 operating room days have been lost across Fraser Health – equivalent to 1,000 cancelled surgeries so far this year. While anesthesiologists

in the Fraser Health region move from hospital to hospital, Helliwell said Abbotsford has seven on staff. “You need four of five more.” Anesthesiology is one of the only specialties where a shortage exists in the Lower Mainland, despite repeated recruitment drives extending across Canada and overseas. Most of Fraser Health has now been declared an underserviced area, Helliwell said, and foreign-trained anaesthesiologists whose certification is not recognized in Canada are now being hired as a result. “We’ve been looking all over the world and we still can’t get enough people to come here,” he said. Helliwell said the situation is even more dire outside the Lower Mainland, noting half the operating rooms in Vernon are closed at any given time because of the shortage of anesthesiologists. “We need to sit down with government and find ways to make the work-life balance better,” he said, adding anesthesiologists work upwards of 70 hours a week in Abbotsford and Surrey. That’s prompting more anaesthesiologists here to leave the Continued on A7

provincial government and those with municipal police forces,” said Sapielak. In 2009, the federal and provincial government contributions to policing in B.C. totalled in excess of $517 million, none of which was spent on municipal forces. According to the chamber, it is unfair the communities with municipal policing representing over 1.26 million residents – or 28.3 per cent of the B.C. population – and get no police funding. Policing costs are the single largest portion of the total municipal tax bill. “Exacerbating the problem is that the residents and business owners of these municipalities, also directly subsidize the costs of policing in neighbouring communities using the RCMP through provincial and federal personal and corporate income taxes,” said chamber execu-

‘Ongoing challenge’ From A5

province, he said, and for older doctors in the field to retire sooner than planned. He also proposes system reforms like hiring “physician extenders” – lower-cost aides who would support anaesthesiologists. Helliwell said that’s increased productivity dramatically and reduced net costs at some hospitals in Quebec and Ontario. “Abbotsford has a great facility and a beautiful community, you should be able to attract new people ... We are on the edge of a precipice. People look at the working conditions and don’t want to come here and people here, don’t want to stay.” Fraser Health spokesman Roy ThorpeDorward said the shortage of anaesthesiologists is an ongoing challenge. He could not confirm the number of OR slates and surgeries cancelled as a result. “We are actively recruiting for current and future needs,” he said, adding the health authority remains optimistic it will be seen as an appealing place to work, particularly as hospital expansions proceed. Fourteen anaesthesiologists have been hired since 2008 and just over 100 are now working

across the region. Thorpe-Dorward said in Abbotsford, in 2011, only six surgeries have been cancelled because of a lack of available anesthesiologists and 11 more due to illness. However he acknowledged that stats are not kept regarding home many surgeries were never booked because of a lack of physicians. According to the health ministry, the average full-time anesthesiologist now bills $340,000 a year and sees 10 per cent fewer patients than a decade ago. And they increasingly work part-time rather than full-time, averaging 153 days worked a year. The anaesthesiologists spoke out after Premier Christy Clark and health minister Mike de Jong on Monday staged a high-profile official launch at the site of the Surrey Memorial expansion. The $512-million project will add an eightstorey critical care tower and new emergency department five times the size of the current one. Nearing completion just to the northeast in Surrey is the $237-million Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre, which adds several operating rooms for day surgery.

WebTalk New courthouse

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Do you feel a federal election was necessary at this time?

Seeing as how there is very little in the way of actual justice ladled out at the court house anyways, why not just have Crown counsel work from home and mail out ‘court decisions’ based on a lottery type of punishment circle. Probation, suspended sentence, prohibitions and no go orders would be picked at random and mailed to recidivist miscreants. rocky6

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

What a waste of money. It’s just a revolving door anyway. You could always fund it by ﬁring a third of the public servants that don’t do anything anyway except paper shufﬂe. 5440

Do you believe increasing the minimum wage will help the B.C. economy?

Why doesn’t city management stick to municipal issues and leave problems such as this to the levels of government which are responsible? The inadequacies of the courthouse building, efﬁciencies of service, and whether or not we need a Supreme Court are matters for higher levels. Robert

A lifetime of memories moves up the road Nick

Greenizan

My View In my cell phone, my parents’ number is still stored as “home” even though it’s been years since I lived there. Practically speaking, this is because my actual home does not have a landline, so I never bothered to change it. But more than that, it’s because home is, still, exactly how I think of the place my parents live. It’s the place I lived until I moved away for school; and the place I moved back to on a few occasions – ﬁrst at 22 when school was done and I was living off the last remaining pennies of my student loan, and brieﬂy again at 23 after escaping the biting cold of northern Alberta for a job here at the Peace Arch News seven years ago. That house, which my parents built in Langley in 1985 and have lived in ever since, has always been a safety net of sorts, a familiar place with familiar

people where, no matter what, you could ﬁnd a warm bed, good (free) food and the opportunity to “just throw a few things” into somebody else’s laundry, thus avoiding having to do it yourself – a trick I’ve carried over to my new living arrangement, which I can assure you, my girlfriend adores. It’s those things – along with the Canadian Football League wallpaper on one wall of my old bedroom that I stubbornly refused to tear down even as I grew up – that never changed, even as the rest of the house, and the people inside, changed around it. There were countless Christmas dinners and indoor hockey games (sorry about the closet door, Mom); screaming matches and parties that raged into the night (talk to your youngest son about that one, Dad); renovations – both planned and otherwise (that foot-shaped hole in the wall was an accident, really), and second and third mortgages just so two lucky kids could afford to play hockey and go to Disneyland. Things are about to change now, though, those memories packed carefully away in boxes along with everything else.

My parents are moving – downsizing, as parents of adult children are oft to do, into a lovely new townhouse a few minutes up the road, where they’ll have no grass to mow, no garden to weed and, finally, a little financial freedom. After 25-plus years sacrificing for the

Home is, still, exactly how I think of the place where my parents live. sake of their family, they are ﬁnally doing something for themselves. What nerve. Truthfully though, I’m thrilled for them, although I don’t doubt that it will be weird for me to drive by that house one day – my house – and realize that somebody else lives there now. I was just four years old when we moved there and don’t remember much except that during a pre-move garage

sale outside the little house we were leaving in White Rock, I cried when my parents sold an old typewriter I used to play with (crafting Pulitzer-worthy stories, I’m sure). This move is different. It’s harder in some respects - I’ve never been good with change – but easier too, because I’m old enough now to realize that old typewriters aren’t that important, and the house itself is just that – a house. A concrete foundation with old wooden beams, shingles and laminate ﬂoors. Home? Home is somewhere else for me now. I’m hopeful it will be my parents’ new place – knowing my parents, there’s no reason to suggest it won’t feel just as welcoming as the old place – but it is also my own house, where in the basement hangs a 12-by-16-inch framed rectangle of old, slightly-yellowing CFL wallpaper, a gift to me from my parents when they ﬁnally redecorated my old room before the for-sale sign went up in the yard. May it hang as long there as it did in my old bedroom, on the wall opposite the closet door with a hole in it. Nick Greenizan is the sports reporter at the Peace Arch News.

The velvet glove approach doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work

In response to Mark Rushtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article in Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition, I wholeheartedly agree. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disgusting that these criminals get all the services that we have to pay through the nose for in exchange for only a portion of their time (double credit while waiting, etc). As far as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned that should be time lost for them and their sentence started upon conviction. The cost of keeping these persons in comfort could be better

served in providing scholarships, bursaries, grants, some form of financial aid for those who wish to better themselves but canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to. When is it going to sink in that these criminals cannot be rehabilitated? Why should they bother when the sentences are pathetically light? I also believe that convicted criminals should lose all their rights (voting, computer access, postsecondary upgrading,

payment for being incarcerated, etc.) while serving their sentence. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not right that they should eat better than a lot of law-abiding citizens either. Porridge with some milk would keep them going for the duration of their sentence just as well as steak and be a lot cheaper. As far as paying them anything, put the â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;? ones on work gangs. Convicted criminals should also have to serve the entire sen-

tence in jail. None of this one-third, then released to carry on doing what got them in there in the first place. The police work too hard to get these people into court, never mind prison, to have their efforts wasted by letting the criminals out early from a slack sentence. The next time the convicts protest their living conditions by destroying where they live, which we pay for, think how nice it would be if

all we had to do was burn our house down to get a free new one. If they wreck it, let

them live in it. All of the above may seem harsh but I think you have to

2011 Spring Benefit Concert

Take the time to become informed on P3 water plan A number of years ago a certain Socred gover nment from back in the day, deregulated and sold our Provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural gas. Now we collect royalties on the gas sold to the American market and taxes on our gas bills of course, but the revenue once enjoyed from the sale of this natural resource is lost forever to the people of B.C. This is why some of us get very concerned when we hear about run of the river projects, and the breaking up of BC hydro into Accenture, Transmission, Dams, etc. Once these things are sold they are pretty much gone from the public hands forever, (or in the case of BC Rail 99 years.) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we get very nervous when our governments start dealing away our public assets.

Recently, it has come to light that the City councils of Abbotsford and Mission have been planning for quite some time to P3 partner with a company to improve our water system. This company will be a D.O.B. (design operate build). It is being implied by some that this company will be interested in spending hundreds of millions of dollars for a partial share in our water system. (Something about

that speculation is making me have an atavistic response.) You are going to get a referendum on this matter, much like the one you had for Plan A. There is likely going to be an advertising â&#x20AC;&#x153;vote yes campaignâ&#x20AC;? as there was for Plan A. Looking back at the deal the city made for AESC in Plan A, it would have been a good idea to look at the P3 model, and perhaps save the tax payers many millions, because it serves spe-

cial interest groups and is meant to run for a profit. Our water however, is a different story. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a precious commodity, very necessary to us all and very possibly an asset the people of Abbotsford and Mission might wish they had not signed away. Please take the time to get informed on this matter, and please, the 89 per cent that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote in the last referendum, take the time.

On Wednesday evening, the federal Liberal party chose Madeleine Hardin to run as the party’s candidate for the Abbotsford riding in the upcoming election. Hardin has been a 10-year Liberal party member. Secretary of Abbotsford’s Liberal riding association Musleh Hakki said she was an easy choice. “She’s the most capable person, she’s well-liked in the community, and she stands for family values,” he said. Hardin is perhaps best known locally as a teacher of communication and media studies at UFV, where she has been for 20 years. She is no stranger to the campaign trail – she worked at CBC TV News in Vancouver as a researcher and publicist, and says she enjoyed covering federal and provincial elections.

Former Abbotsford Mayor George Ferguson doesn’t think the city has thought things through regarding the Fraser Valley Regional District. In January, council voted to examine the viability of opting out of the FVRD in favour of becoming a single tier governance. The process could take two years to complete and requires provin-

cial approval. City staff believe the move could save Abbotsford taxpayers between $800,000 and $1.4 million each year. “No municipality can be an island and function,” said Ferguson. He said the regional system is a good one, though he admits it could use a few improvements. What he doesn’t like is the way those improvement could come about.

“Raising this issue (leaving) and causing a lot of fuss isn’t how you do it. If you want change, you sit down and talk about it,” said Ferguson. Abbotsford pays more than $3 million a year to the FVRD, more than half the organization’s total budget. Critics say the city is over charged because it doesn’t get the money back in services. “We don’t pay any more per se than

He’s also convinced the province will never let Abbotsford become an entity unto itself. “If they aren’t in the FVRD, then they’ll become part of Metro ... and I don’t think Abbotsford will play a very big role there. “It is the elected people who make the final decision, not staff,” said Ferguson. Meanwhile, the district is making attempts to sway Abbotsford’s decision. Recently, the FVRD began a restructuring process that it says will save taxpayers from Abbotsford to Boston Bar about $450,000 this year. Abbotsford will see FVRD taxes drop by $715,736 (28 per cent) in 2011 to $1.7 million from $2.5 million in 2010. Average homeowners will see the FVRD portion of their tax bill drop to $29.04 from $40.76 in 2010 - a 28.7 per cent reduction. Abbotsford city manager Frank Pizzuto said the restructuring process is a good thing for all the communities in the FVRD, but it won’t stop Abbotsford from Continued on A15

Question: I am going to Hawaii later on this year and I would like my skin to look more youthful by being even toned, smooth and clear … would IPL work for me and how many treatments will I need? Susan, Abbotsford Answer: Over the years sun damage causes us to have broken capillaries and sun spots which can make us look 10 years older. We have various ways to improve skin texture and tone. We can start by using a combination of physician grade treatment products which include Vitamin A, hydroquinone and sunblock as well as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). Usually 3 - 5 treatments are necessary. If you are interested in a more aggressive treatment we can combine physician grade products, IPL and Fraxel laser – the combination will enhance each others results. You will need to continue protecting yourself from the sun and use sunblocks, hats and sunglasses to maintain the results. Dr. Marianna Snyman

No rural freeriders: FVRD Robert FREEMAN Black Press

Rural residents of the Fraser Valley Regional District are going to pay more in total tax requisitions than municipal residents in 2011, according to a FVRD financial report. Which should end the “free riders” charge leveled by the

‘A good start’

taking a look at other possibilities. “We will continue to see if there are better options that make more sense for us. But, it is a good start,” he said. The FVRD consists of six municipalities – Abbotsford, Mission Chilliwack, Hope, Kent and Harrison – and eight electoral areas. Some of the services provided include 911 calling and fire dispatch, mosquito control, planning and garbage collection.

Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce when it lobbied that city to pull out of the FVRD. “We don’t owe the municipalities diddly-squat,” Dick Bogstie, head of the FVRD’s Community & Regulatory Services Committee (formerly the Electoral Area Services Committee) and the director in Area F, said Tuesday. He agreed Abbotsford and other municipalities in the region were “probably subsidizing the electoral areas to some extent” before the funding formula was changed as part of a major restructuring of the regional govern-

ment. Taxes collected from the seven electoral areas of the FVRD will total $6.5 million in 2011, compared to the total $5.3 million requisitioned from the six municipalities, according to the report. Last year, municipal members paid $6.6 million while $5.7 million was collected from the electoral areas. Bogstie said the requisition in electoral areas is going up “based on a very complicated formula of who does what and who gets what.” For instance, electoral areas are charged for space and staff at the

A15

regional office building, unlike municipal members who have their own city halls. Taxes are also collected only if a rural area or a municipality takes part in a service provided by the regional district. The more services, the more tax is requisitioned. Bogstie said electoral area directors recognized residents in their areas could be hit with “horrendous” tax increases under the new formula, so they worked to pare down the FVRD’s budget “so the pain to the rural tax payer ... is absolutely as minimal as we can make it.”

Stop human trafficking The exploitation of human beings, including underage youth, for financial gain is one of the more unseemly realities in modern life. The Child and Youth Care program at the University of the Fraser Valley will be shedding some light on the issue on Monday, March 28, when it presents a forum on human trafficking. There will be expert speakers, as well as a screening of a DVD filmed in the Vancouver area, concerning the issue. Speakers include Mikael Bingham, the community coordinator for REED (Resist Exploitation; Embrace Dignity), and Jessica Martin, administrative assistant for EVE (Exploited Voices Now Educating).

Helping young and old, in Uganda

From A17

“The only skill required is to be able to snuggle,” says Rauh, a co-ordinator and team leader with Watoto. “I believe the team will empathize towards the babies at first, but

realize how lucky these babies are to be in the care of Watoto.” This will be Rauh’s second visit to the location, but her first as an employee. Following last year’s experience, she jumped

at the chance to work for the company. This time, the group will be bringing more than 20 suitcases full of supplies, and eight high chairs. The team will be working alongside

Ugandan nationals and other international volunteers, caring for over 200 babies. Baby Watoto houses more than 2,000 children. A significant number of the babies have either been abused,

abandoned or born premature. Many of them have been discarded, discovered with their hands and feet tied behind their back. They’ve been found in toilets, dumpsters or abandoned on doorsteps. “When you hear these stories, it makes you want to hug your own children and keep them that much closer,” says Rauh, a mother of three. The children – who often arrive malnourished and in serious medical condition – are brought to Watoto by hospitals, police, child protection units, and good Samaritans. Care is provided to the babies up to the age of two. When they are older and physically able, they either graduate to a Watoto children’s village or are reunited with existing rela-

The care centre at Watoto is constructed like a village, says Rauh, with eight orphaned children and one widowed mother living in each home. The villages, which consist of nine houses, have access to hospitals and schools. Many of the Ugandan women living at Watoto are HIV positive and go to the centre for counselling, and job and skills training. They are encouraged by volunteers through

ministry and prayer. While Rauh was expecting to “go goo-goo over the babies,” she was inspired by the ability of the women to carry on with everything they’ve experienced. She is looking forward to reconnecting with everyone to see how they’ve grown, and doing her part in changing the lives of those she hasn’t yet met.

Epilepsy awareness

experience

life in their shoes

In recognition of March being epilepsy awareness month, today is Purple Day for Epilepsy. It’s an annual, global awareness day for the disease. The day was founded in 2008 by nine-year-old Cassidy Megan. Motivated by her own struggles with the disease,

she started Purple Day for Epilepsy in an effort to educate others about the disorder, and to remind those living with seizures that they are not alone. Megan named the day after the internationally recognized colour for epilepsy – lavender. As a result, on March 26, people around the world wear

purple in support of the disease – which affects nearly 300,000 people in Canada and more than 50 million people across the globe. Because this year’s event takes place during spring break, students at Abbotsford Middle School will be holding their own event of support on Thursday, March 31.

Bruins beat Hawks in final Neil CORBETT

Bruins point men, streaked in on a breakaway, and deked the goaltender to close the gap to 3-2. But the Bruins used their two-man advantage to restore the two-goal lead, working the puck down low, swarming the net and burying a short shot. Burnaby got a late power play goal to go into the second intermission up 5-2, and maintained that three-goal margin through the final frame. “They deserved to win. They were the better team on the day,” said Campbell. As to his team, he hopes they can look back on a great season. “They should be proud of what they accomplished,” he said. “To have a chance to play in a provincial final is a heck of an experience.”

Abbotsford News

The Burnaby Winter Club Bruins beat the Abbotsford Hawks 6-3 in the provincial Bantam Tier 1 championship on Wednesday night at a packed MSA Arena. The Abbotsford Hawks had upset BWC in two straight post-season games, but beating the vaunted BWC Bruins in three straight matchups was a tall order. “BWC came out extremely hard. There’s a lot of championship experience on their roster, and they knew how to step it up for a championship, and we didn’t match it,” said Abbotsford coach Troy Campbell. He said “undisciplined CAMPBELL and untimely hits” put Abbotsford on the penalty kill too often, and the Bruins power play took control of the game. Although they had beaten BWC in the first game of the provincial tournament on Sunday morning, Abbotsford was a nervous team for the opening minutes of the game. The bruins scored just 1:17 into the contest, then capitalized on an early power play to go up 2-0 before five minutes had elapsed. But 15 seconds after the second goal Abbotsford answered. Matt Revel streaked down the wing and sniped a bottom cor-

The Abbotsford Hawks bantams celebrate Matt Revel’s (10) goal in the provincial championship game against the Burnaby Winter Club Bruins on Wednesday. ner with a low wrist shot that made it 2-1. With 58 seconds left in the first period BWC made it 3-1 on a flukey shorthanded goal. A Bruin was cutting to the Abbotsford net, and was stopped with a pokecheck. But the puck looped up into the air, over the Abbotsford netminder, and landed in the net.

The second period saw Abbotsford draw to within in a goal again, with a shorthanded marker of their own. Abbotsford was down two men after hard hits that resulted in penalties, and BWC started to work on a long two-man advantage, for a minute and a half. Revel picked off a pass between the

Now that the season is over, Abbotsford’s elite bantam hockey players will turn their attention to the Western Hockey League’s bantam draft, scheduled for May 5 in Calgary. “There’s a good chance eight to 10 kids will get drafted,” said Campbell. What’s more, high scoring forward Jake Virtanen is expected to be one of the first players selected, potentially first overall. “He’s the best skater in the league, and a pure goal scorer,” said Campbell. “He picks corners at any angle, and he’s got a hard shot.”

Heat on the road against Moose The Abbotsford Heat are on the road for a four-game trip, that began last night against the Vancouver Canucks affiliate Manitoba Moose. A second game against the Moose goes on Sunday at noon. The Heat then take their drive for a playoff spot through Hamilton for games Tuesday and Wednesday against the Bulldogs, whom they have beaten in three of four meetings this year. The loss came via shootout. The team will be back in Abbotsford

to host Grand Rapids on April 1 and 2. The Heat have signed three new players. Defenceman Russ Sinkewich has been signed to a professional tryout, while defenceman Josh Van Dyk and centre Justin Dowling have been signed to amateur tryout contracts. Sinkewich, 25, is from Westlake, Ohio and has played this season with the Alaska Aces of the ECHL. In 40 games this season, Sinkewich has scored two goals and added six assists for eight points.

There is a great future in hockey for many of the kids on the Abbotsford Bantam Tier 1 team, and the upcoming WHL Bantam draft will be the start of these success stories. But arguably the most impressive accomplishments have come from the man behind the bench. Head coach Troy Campbell has been at the helm of Abbotsford’s Bantam Tier 1 team for six seasons, and this is the third time he has played for a provincial championship. Most minor hockey coaches never get the chance to play for a provincial title, but Campbell has shown an uncanny ability to Continued on A30

‘He’s a genuine volunteer’ From A28

Want to know more about our Abbotsford Heat hockey team? Find it at abbynews.com and click on the ad.

get his teams playing in the biggest of big games. Lochie Bell, the past president of Abbotsford Minor Hockey and the B.C. Hockey supervisor for the provincial

tournament, said Campbell has been the most successful coach in Abbotsford Minor Hockey through his 15 years of involvement, “and there have been some good ones,” he said.

“I’ve never seen one get the ability out of his players, and bring them together as a team, like Troy.” He added that Campbell coaches because he loves hockey, and doesn’t even have a child involved. “He’s a genuine volunteer. He’s giving back for the right reasons.” “He’s a great coach,” said Brigitte Virtanen, who has been a minor hockey manager for 12 years, including the last two with Campbell. She said along with assistants Gary Mills and Darren Olsen, “They really prepared the kids for this weekend.” She said the challenge for the coaches is to get the kids to think less about the WHL Bantam Draft, and their dreams of making it into Major Junior hockey. They need to get players and parents alike focused on the success of the team, and this coaching staff has done that. Individual success is sure to follow, and scouts have told the Abbotsford team’s staff that eight to 10 players may go in the WHL draft. Campbell can put himself in the kids’ shoes, because he was a great Abbotsford hockey prospect himself at one time. He played with the Langley Eagles at 15, was then an offensive player with the Abbotsford Falcons Junior A team, playing on the second line. When the Falcons organization left and the Abbotsford Pilots Junior B team started in Abbotsford, Campbell had an opportunity to leave and continue in the B.C. Hockey League with Vernon. He instead chose his hometown team, and in only 25 games put up 85 points. “I should have went away,” he says now, and admitting he has kicked himself for not trying to get the most out of his hockey career. In as much as he is developing great players, Campbell tries to emphasize the teamfirst philosophy with his clubs. “It’s very important to check the egos at the door,” he said. “Team is number one,

and hard work – trying to out-work your opponents. Nothing comes for free.” His longtime assistant coach Gary Mills is a former military man who preaches team concepts with the best of them. Their practices are uptempo, and they favour a lot of game situations It’s a formula that has resulted in success at every level. Mills and Campbell have led numerous teams to championships. Campbell started in 1995-1996 as the assistant coach of a pee wee triple A team. One notable on that squad was BELL Ryan Craig, who is now a pro and captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins AHL affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins. In 1996-1997 he won a provincial championship with a Bantam B1 team, but following that season he took time away from coaching to spend time with his young daughters. Campbell returned for the 2004-2005 season with a pee wee AAA team, and they made it to the provincial final, but lost. The next season he moved up to Bantam AAA, and the team won the provincial title and the Western Canadian Championship – the farthest a bantam team can go. The following hockey year his Bantam AAA squad hosted the provincials, and won the bronze medal. In 2008-2009 he again had the best team in B.C., and they won silver at the westerns. And, of course, this year they hosted the provincials and took silver. Campbell wasn’t sure whether he would be back at the helm of the Bantam AAA team again next season, but hopes to play some role within the association. “I grew up and played all my years in Abbotsford Minor Hockey. The association is near to my heart.”
