Homes destroyed Unrelated fires believed to be accidental Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

When she first heard the loud bang, the woman thought it had come from somewhere else in the neighbourhood. She quickly learned otherwise, after her eldest son yelled, “We have to leave! There’s a fire!” The woman escaped the blaze at 2284 Orchard Drive with her 18- and 20-yearold sons. Her husband returned home from his job in industrial sales to see their house engulfed in smoke and flames. On Tuesday morning, the couple, who did not want their names published, looked over their damaged home – one of two destroyed by fire Monday in Abbotsford in unrelated incidents. The pair were not permitted past the tape blocking off their driveway, but the gutted shell of their three-storey home could be seen from the road, with the toppled chimney leaning precariously across the battered roof. The family, who have lived there for about six years, have lost everything. But the man is thankful. “Everybody is safe. Everybody is healthy, even the dog.” Investigators were on the scene try-

ing to determine the cause of the fire, which began at about 9 p.m. Monday. Don Beer, chief of Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service, said the blaze seems to have originated in a top-floor bedroom at the back corner of the home. He said it doesn’t appear to be suspicious, but the exact cause has not yet been determined nor has the source of the bang heard by residents blocks away. Beer said firefighters were unable to tackle the blaze from the back of the home, due to steep terrain, and the intensity of the flames prevented them from going inside. Their efforts were

concentrated to the roof and front of the home. He estimated the damage at $350,000. The scene was eerily similar Tuesday morning at another east Abbotsford property not far from the Orchard Drive residence. The owner of the three-storey house at 35627 Dina Place was on scene to survey the destruction of the 18-year-old residence. He lived alone in the first floor of the house, and the top two storeys were occupied by a woman and two teenage foster children who lost most of their possessions in the blaze. Beer said a neighbour saw smoke coming from the roof of the house at about 2:45 p.m. Monday and alerted the occupants. The woman then went upstairs and opened a door, where the fire was picking up. She fled the home, but was taken to hospital for smoke inhalation and released later that afternoon. Fire crews arrived to find the roof and top floor fully engulfed in flames. A firefighter injured his ankle while working on a ladder and was treated in hospital. Beer said the cause is believed to be electrical in nature. He estimates damage at $300,000.

Tower topples

MOTORCYCLE COLLIDES WITH SEMI

The high-running Fraser River showed its force Monday when powerful currents undercut and toppled a BC Hydro transmission tower, downing power lines and forcing the overnight shutdown of Highway 1 and the Lougheed Highway. Electricity was cut off to more than 25,000 homes and businesses, including approximately 5,500 customers in Abbotsford, and caused lights to flicker or dim across a much wider area. Now area mayors want to know whether

A 48-year-old female motorcyclist from Langley was seriously injured Tuesday morning when she collided with a semi truck waiting to make a left turn from Vye Road to head north on Sumas Way. The truck had moved to the right to make room for a second truck making a right turn off Sumas Way, and the woman struck the semi as she attempted to pass on the right. She was airlifted to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. JOHN VAN PUTTEN Abbotsford News

Hydro officials should have done more to prevent the emergency and whether there are more vulnerable points in the transmission system that need to be upgraded. “This is unfathomable,” Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said. “I’m still left with lots of questions for BC Hydro as to how their line could have been undermined on the south side of the river for weeks and they had not reported it to the communities that would have been affected by this kind of calamity.” Hydro officials said they had been aware for several days that river erosion had made some towers unstable and crews worked over the weekend to stabilize them. The situation deteriorated at 9 p.m. Monday when one tower fell on the Surrey side, dropping its 230-kilovolt transmission cables into the Fraser, and putting a second tower at risk.

capital facilities projects will go to public art, with a contribution cap of $300,000 per project. Abbotsford Mayor George Peary said public art is a way to both beautify the area and create tourism. “Cultural tourism is the leading form of tourism right now,” he said. Peary called it “good business” and pointed to the downtown Abbotsford art benches as examples. “People stop and take pictures on those benches. It’s an attraction.” However, he acknowledged that not everyone agrees with the policy. “There are some people who will criticize it. Some people will disagree with whatever council does,” said Peary. As for the piece itself, Peary likes what it represents. “It’s certainly a tribute to our agricultural roots ... Clearbrook Road leads to some of the best raspberry lands in Canada.”

Cat burglar strikes Enters through sliding doors Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Abbotsford Police are warning the public that a cat burglar is on the loose. Const. Ian MacDonald said the thief struck three times in a two-day period, entering through a sliding glass door between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. in each case. Electronics, jewelry, ID and cash were stolen. All the occupants were sleeping at the time, and nobody was harmed, which MacDonald said is typical of this type of act. “Cat burglary is a niche crime in that there

Abbotsford News

Police have charged a 29-year-old Abbotsford man with stealing some rare pigeons, and they believe he may be part of a ring responsible for numerous livestock and fowl thefts in the Fraser Valley. William James Balice was arrested on Canada Day after 365 pigeons were reported stolen June 28 from a farm in the 2700 block of Lefeuvre Road. He has been charged with possession of stolen property and break and enter. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said the stolen purebred pigeons are highly sought-after by the bird-show community and sell for $60 to $100 per bird. The breeds taken included the American Roller, the Muffed Tumbler, the West of England Tumbler and Helmet. Balice was allegedly found in possession of some of the birds, and had listed them for sale on craigslist. MacDonald said the rarity of the pigeons made them easy to identify, but tracking down the other missing animals has been more difficult. Abbotsford Police created a position, called LEO (livestock enforcement officer), to deal specifically with the thefts of chickens, pigeons, ducks, goats and sheep. The incidents began last fall. Two Abbotsford sites were hit in November and February, resulting in the heist of 5,300 pigeons that are sold as meat — known as squab – for $4 to $10 each.

Also this year, close to 20 Boer goats were taken from a property on Downes Road, and hundreds of chickens were stolen from two Abbotsford farms at the end of May. In Langley, the thefts included 22 lambs, six ducks and 65 chickens from three properties in March. One of those farms was also targeted in December, when 17 ducks were taken. A farm in Chilliwack

was hit in November, when seven pregnant goats were stolen. Six of them were later located on a property in Langley. At the time, Chilliwack RCMP estimated that 60 goats had been swiped from the community. Balice next appears in Abbotsford provincial court on Friday on the charges related to the pigeon theft. He is also scheduled to plead guilty that day to a previous charge (from

March 18) of driving while prohibited. Balice is also among a group of five charged with break and enter, theft and trespassing in Maple Ridge on March 29, and is next due in Port Coquitlam provincial court on July 13. Anyone with information about the livestock and fowl thefts is asked to call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-8595225.

is a certain thrill derived by the subject that there are people in the house while they are committing the offence,” he said. The first incident took place Sunday in a ground-floor apartment on South Fraser Way. The second and third burglaries were on Monday night in homes on Ware Street and Thurston Place. MacDonald said a “person of interest” has been identified, but no arrests have yet been made. He advised residents to ensure they have proper locking mechanisms on their windows and sliding doors.

Check your mirror They cut in without signalling, speed, tailgate, yak on their cellphones and blast their horns in anger. Lower Mainland motorists are a belligerent bunch. So says a new opinion survey conducted by Ipsos Reid for ICBC. According to the poll, 55 per cent of residents believe drivers in their communities have become less courteous over the past five years. Forty per cent said it’s about the same while three per cent thought drivers are more courteous. Most people surveyed (82 per cent) had encountered fellow drivers who were late in signalling or didn’t signal at all – the single biggest peeve cited in the survey. Seventy-one per cent reported being tailgated, 68 per cent said other drivers refused to let them merge or change lanes and half said they’d been cut off. But there were also the bad-mannered louts who yelled, swore, made obscene gestures, waved their arms or fists, flashed their lights menacingly, and even

(let the road rage begin) stole parking spots. Who are these motoring miscreants, these behind-the-wheel warriors whose heated emotions can impair other drivers’ ability to concentrate and react on the road, thereby putting everyone at increased risk of crashing? Certainly not you... right? Along with drivers behaving badly, the poll also revealed an amusing disconnect: drivers in denial. While those surveyed gave their fellow motorists a “C” letter grade for courteous driving, they gave themselves a stellar “A” or “B” rating. In other words, most Metro drivers don’t believe they’re part of the problem. The late comedian George Carlin once said, “Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?” Next time you get annoyed in trafﬁc, better give that mirror a second look.

A decade on, Nisga’a treaty no panacea Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views There were high hopes and harsh words in 2000 when the provincial and federal governments signed Canada’s first modern-day treaty with the Nisga’a people of northwestern B.C. The four villages are now governed by the Nisga’a Lisims government, which holds broad authority transferred from the federal and provincial governments. While Canada’s financial support continues to flow, the Nisga’a Nation is nearing the stage where it must begin to collect taxes and become self-sustaining. A new study by the Winnipeg-based Frontier Centre for Public Policy offers a unique look behind the scenes of this remote experiment. And judging by the hostile response of the Nisga’a government to the findings, it may be the last one for some time. Is the Nisga’a Nation ready to support itself ? The short answer is no, according to polling data and extensive interviews with “key informants” who are not

identified. Co-author Joseph Quesnel told me he interviewed 15 influential people, both supporters and critics of the treaty, since he first visited the region last fall. A larger phone survey by COMPAS Research found that more people trust the Nisga’a government compared to the old Indian Act regime. But divisions remain, particularly over giving up aboriginal tax exemptions. Quesnel said he met people who have left the Nisga’a villages for nearby Tsimshian communities, before sales and income taxes take effect in 2013. According to the study, a culture of dependency that grew up during a century of colonial-style rule remains pervasive. The authors report many of the same problems that plague Indian Act reserves, such as willful damage to housing, accusations of nepotism and failed business investment. “More than one key informant observed that old attitudes and mentalities persist regarding public services,” the report states. “Expectations at the local level that the village government will provide everything are still rampant.” Quesnel said the Nisga’a Nation’s recent move to allow fee-simple owner-

ship of municipal-style lots is a key step towards self-sufﬁciency. But the land title system is still in development and it’s too soon to see results. The study notes that economic conditions in Nisga’a territory have become worse since the treaty. Quesnel agreed with my suggestion that this has more to do with the decline of forestry and ﬁsh-

...economic conditions in Nisga’a territory have become worse since the treaty.” ing than any failure of governance. Nisga’a Lisims President Mitchell Stevens issued a statement rejecting the report’s ﬁndings, citing two factual errors and denying that he had participated. Quesnel, a Quebec Metis with a background in journalism, said he was welcomed on his initial visit and was even invited to attend a Nisga’a Lisims executive meeting. But he said Stevens and

other officials “stopped responding” as the project progressed. In his statement, Stevens described the code of conduct for Nisga’a officials and the complaint process people can use to hold them accountable for decisions. The president dismissed the “colourful commentary” of a few “key informants” who didn’t expect to be quoted. Quesnel says that despite the slow progress, he remains convinced the Nisga’a treaty is a positive step. Now investors have only one government to deal with, and the region has electricity, mining and gas development on the drawing board. And there are lessons to be learned by other aboriginal communities, such as tackling dependency and addiction problems before a treaty is signed, and bringing in outside experts to set up businesses. “Mitchell Stevens, when I spoke to him, was optimistic about the ability to reduce transfers, even eliminate them,” Quesnel said. “Without financial independence, I think political self-government is really an illusion. Ultimately, you’re still dependent.” tfletcher@blackpress.ca twitter.com/tomfletcherbc

Riot showed erosion of morality

Unfortunately, much analysis of the Vancouver hockey riots is inadequate. Vancouver’s mayor and most pundits assign much blame to alcohol for the mindless attack on police officers, vehicles, and property. But is that explanation correct? Undoubtedly alcohol removed some inhibitions but let’s not hang too much on that hook. Over the decades I have observed many inebriated people in the downtown east side; I have never seen even one of them grab a street barrier and ram it against a window. Never have I seen an inebriated person jump on a police cruiser and attempt to torch it. Alcohol’s role was strictly secondary. Much blame is also placed on anarchists. Again the argument is weak. I saw no coverage of any black-hooded vandals. Nor did I hear a single hooligan, either cornered or confessing later, invoke any anarchistic ideas.

At most anarchism played a minimal role. What, then, is the explanation? I submit that the dominant, although not the only, factor triggering the idiotic rampage is a serious erosion of

We were taught to respect other people’s property, to respect authority and to support law and order morality. For generations children and young people in our society were trained, and also schooled, in the time-tested ethical principles rooted largely in JudeoChristian values. We were taught to

respect other people’s property, to respect authority, and to support law and order. Today, many young people have rejected traditional principles of right and wrong. In their place we have the illogical assertion that “rightness” is determined by “what feels good for me!” Given this new morality, numerous people did not hesitate to attack police officers, burn vehicles, smash windows, and steal merchandise. Large numbers cheered them on. And more than a few attacked those who tried to stop the riot. Among the hundreds of thousands there was no surge of people aiding police officers or civilians calling for decency. The systematic rejection of moral absolutes in education, in the media, and in entertainment has much more to do with the malicious riots than do alcohol and notions of anarchism. John H.

Return to PST-GST risk to families With the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) referendum decision now just weeks away, British Columbians are faced with a unique and historic decision, a choice of whether they want to pay less or more tax. It’s a choice that will affect each and every family, business and bank account across the province, and represents one of the most important public decisions in B.C.’s recent history. It would be easy for me to simply stay out of the HST debate. After all, the move to harmonize was a provincial initiative, not a federal one. Added to that is the anger felt by many about the way the province went about implementing it. Gordon Campbell, who was a key player in turning B.C.’s economy around several years ago, is the first to admit the public communication side of the HST was not conducted well. So you may ask, why am I commenting? Many people have been asking for my perspective on the HST, especially as a former provincial finance minister who lowered taxes. I decided that the issue is far too important to stay silent on, especially with so many British Columbians angry

about it. I firmly believe that a decision of this importance should be based on cold, hard facts – not raw emotion. The economic reality is this: individuals and families will be better off by having the HST in place as recently amended by Premier Christy Clark. British Columbians need to understand the real ramifications of bringing back an old, antiquated tax system. There is too much at

stake for B.C. families and businesses to risk voting for a higher, 12% PST-GST. Bottom line – the HST benefits all British Columbians: Q The HST will drop two points to 10 per cent Q The average B.C. family will save $120 more a year Q Children and seniors will receive $175 transition cheques Q Rebate payments of up to $230 will be

put into the hands of lower-income families Q 24,400 new jobs will be created by the end of the decade Reverting back to the PST-GST system would take away every one of these personal benefits. It would hurt B.C.’s economy and leave less money in the wallet of every B.C. family. Voting to return to the PST-GST is a giant step backward that B.C. residents will have to bear for years

to come. Thank you for giving this your thoughtful consideration, even though you may be one of the many who is upset with the situation. As someone who loves this beautiful province, I simply want what is best for our future and for our children’s future. Whichever way you decide to vote, I hope this will also be your guiding motivation. Stockwell Day

Livingstone Avenue is not part of the Abbotsford garbage disposal system! Ours is the beautiful little street that parallels Highway 1 between the Peardonville overpass and Blue Jay subdivision. Far too often, when we pull out of Paradise Park, we are confronted with the ugly sight of someone’s trash strewn on our beautiful street. Everything from household garbage in green bags to fast-food wrappers can be found blowing across our street and our yards! Last week someone lost a partial load of broken building materials and couldn’t be bothered to pick it up! For those folks so desperate to dispose of trash, there are garbage cans in Gardner Park. Why not become responsible citizens and take your trash home and dispose of it in a proper manner where the city removal can deal with it appropriately? Harold and Shirley Swanson Abbotsford

Riot heroes thanked Couple assisted Abbotsford Police officer Ashley WRAY Abbotsford News

Doug Leight knew it was a bad idea â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sprinting towards a string of cops during the Vancouver Stanley Cup riot. He had just heard a â&#x20AC;&#x153;ting tingâ&#x20AC;? on the pavement before a big white cloud of smoke filled the street. It was tear gas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could taste it before I could smell it, and when I did smell it, it was rancid,â&#x20AC;? said Leight. Despite the burning sensation, he kept his eyes open and pulled his shirt over his mouth to help him breathe. Through the haze he could see people running in the opposite direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is really stupid â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the officers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on their side,â&#x20AC;? thought Leight.

Doug Leight and Danelle Buckberry saw a lone police officer struggling with the crowd, and got involved.

He finally got to the officers, who pushed him down. He got up again and was shoved to the ground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your member ...â&#x20AC;? he choked out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your member, your

officer needs help. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down the street alone. He sent me up here to get you.â&#x20AC;? A group of about three or four officers followed 27-year-old Leight down the street

to Abbotsford Police Const. Steve Kern, who was trying to fend off rioters while a group of off-duty nurses and a doctor from Peace Arch Hospital tended to a bleeding, unconscious man. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sight that Leight and his girlfriend Danelle Buckberry, 30, came across after watching the game at the downtown live site on June 15. Even though they saw fans leaving in the second period, Leight and Buckberry hung around to watch the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end. Leight even tried starting the chant â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got next year,â&#x20AC;? but it never caught on. After the game, they wandered the streets in search of a place to eat.

trying to push them back from something. Leight looked down and saw the bleeding, unconscious man, with a few people huddled around him, and Kern trying to restrain the crowd. It was instinct for Leight and Buckberry to join in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a scary situation,â&#x20AC;? said Leight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had so much adrenaline.â&#x20AC;? Amongst the shoving, spitting and emotion, the faces in the crowd started blending together. A muscular guy jumped in to help, and soon they were a team. The crowd was divided, with some backing up and others trying to squeeze through to take a

photo or video. Eventually Kern turned to Leight and asked him to get help â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his other officers had left him to tend to a stabbing down the block. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Leight was tear gassed. Buckberry, who is trained in emergency first aid, stayed behind to help the nurses and hold back the crowds. She asked a nearby shop owner for a tablecloth to cover the unconscious man, to prevent him from shaking if he went into shock. The whole incident lasted about an hour and a half. Following Leightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return, it was time to leave. There was tear gas pouring in from two

Ticket fines and court-imposed fines will soon help pay for policing costs in Abbotsford. A $1.9 million grant from the Strategic Community Investment Fund will provide the city with more essential services. The money is coming from the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing program, which allows communities to invest in

their own priority projects. It also pays for police enforcement costs and provides funding for local policing services and crime prevention programs. Collected from ticket fines and court-imposed fines on violation tickets, the grant is distributed based on a municipalitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contribution to total policing costs.

Kern thanked the couple that night, and did so again in a follow-up conversation they recently had. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I thanked him,â&#x20AC;? said Leight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People need to know that the police did all they could that night to protect the city.â&#x20AC;?

a death metal festival. He noted that they had transformed hell from “a place you want to avoid after you die into a focal point for building community and identity.” “For them, hell isn’t about punishment; it’s about freedom.” Next, he’ll be talking to personalities from across the Lower Mainland, including Abbotsford author Brad Jersak and University of the Fraser Valley professor Ron Dart. Inspired by the recent “fever pitch” the topic has created both in and outside the church, Miller hopes the documentary will help people come away with a “freedom to explore competing views of God and different views of hell.” While he suspects he will upset some people with the film, his aim is to approach the topic in a conversational tone – not bait or antagonize anyone. Miller has two other feature documentaries coming out later this year: spOILed, which challenges the notion that we are addicted to fossil fuels, and Sex+Money, which examines the problem of the sex trafficking of children in America.

Abbotsford News

Where did our current vision of hell come from, and is it possible we’ve got it wrong? Those are questions that Abbotsford filmmaker Kevin Miller is asking in his new feature-length documentary Hellbound, which begins filming in Abbotsford next week. “I’m eager to get to the bottom of that interpretation process,” said Miller. “In other words, why are we so bound to the idea of hell?” Hell is typically viewed as eternal torment, both in the biblical version and in popular culture, said Miller, who is a Christian. “Just because it’s a dominant view doesn’t mean it’s the best,” he argued. “We are looking at the issue of hell often from one perspective, and we have to ask ourselves ‘Who is to say that our perspective is the correct one?’” In the documentary, which is slated to come out in late 2012, Miller will provide numerous opinions by interviewing hard-core Christians, Universalists and atheists. Miller has already ventured to Copenhagen, Denmark to interview the music community at

Summer drama FINAL SALE STORE CLOSING OUT blast

%FF

UP TO

The opportunity to explore all things theatrical is returning to Abbotsford this summer. Gallery 7 Theatre is offering its drama camp program, Summer Drama Blast, this July for kids and teens aged six to 18. “We’re super-stoked to be offering another year of fun and learning for both young children and youth,” said artistic director Ken Hildebrandt. “Summer Drama Blast is a great opportunity for young people to explore their creative sides in a lifeaffirming environment while exploring important life skills such as team-work, co-operation, self-confidence and a healthy self-image.” Generalized performance camps allow kids to learn about basic and intermediate theatre skills, such as blocking, line memorization and characterization. At the end, campers will give a performance for friends and family to showcase what they’ve learned. The age-specific camps are led by trained and experienced theatre practitioners. Youth aged 14 to 18 who are looking to enhance their highschool theatre experience, or are preparing for college and professional theatre training or deeper involvement in community theatre, will benefit from specialized theatre camps such as Performance I n t e n s i v e , Improvisation, or new this year, Acting for the Camera. The topic-specific camps offer the opportunity to explore performance at a more advanced level while rubbing shoulders with theatre professionals. The camp runs from July 11-29 at the MEI School, 4081 Clearbrook Rd. Registration will remain open throughout the camps. For more information, call 604-504-5940 or visit www.gallery7theatre.

been choosing to wear the pink T-shirt,” she said. The pink T-shirts start conversations, which Hamill says is key to anti-bullying. And though Belize and Canada are very different countries, she believes bullying is a universal problem with universal solutions. If a child wears the pink T-shirt home, their parents and grandparents or aunts and uncles might ask them about it, and that gets the conversation started. Building selfesteem in children and recognizing differences is also important to help them feel good about who they are. “Just because someone’s different doesn’t mean they don’t have something to offer,” she said. Hamill works for Bakerview Centre for Learning (formerly called Abbotsford Continuing Education) and the school in Belize she visited was Ambergis Caye Elementary. Both acronyms spell “ACE”. “I kind of thought it was a bit of a sign,” she said, laughing. Many children in Belize can’t go to school to Grade 12 because of poverty, so she had children in her class make laminated bookmarks to encourage education and positive learning. Now the Abbotsford children email the children in Belize. “It’s been quite a project for our kids, too.” Hamill is hoping to make this an annual trip to Belize with other interested colleagues and participants from Abbotsford. She acknowledges the help of family and colleagues in Abbotsford who offered her financial and moral support. “This could grow into something quite exciting.”

Household toxins threaten salmon Jeff Nagel

Black Press

The toxins Lower Mainlanders flush down their toilets or pour down the drain have likely contributed to the decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon, a panel of scientists told the Cohen Commission. There’s no “smoking gun” that points to sewage effluent as a leading culprit in the dramatic collapse of the 2009 sockeye run, said Dr. Ken Ashley, a BCIT instructor and consultant. But he and others rated it a probable factor in the longer term trend of diminishing salmon returns. Dr. Peter Ross, a marine mammal toxicologist at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ Institute of Oceans Sciences, said there’s growing concern about the discharge of persistent chemicals that accumulate in the environment and threaten fish and sea life. Emerging chemicals of concern include flame retardants such as PBDEs, bisphenolA, phthlates, nanoparticles, synthetic musks and personal care products. “PBDEs have been doubling every 3.5 years in harbour seals in the Strait of Georgia,” Ross said, adding very high concentrations have been found in sediments near Metro Vancouver’s sewage treatment outfalls and in Burrard Inlet. Such chemicals might not kill fish outright but may pose more subtle threats, even at minute levels, the commission heard. Endocrine disruptors can interfere with hormones and in some cases feminize fish. They can also reduced growth and suppress immune systems.

Panelists said sockeye need to “smell their way” back home to their birth streams to spawn and the soup of chemicals mixed into the waters of Georgia Strait and the Fraser River could confuse them and reduce their chances. Sewage treatment plant monitoring relies on tests of how many sample fish exposed to effluent die within four days but don’t specifically test for many chemicals or consider their longer term cumulative impacts. “From my perspective, that has very little to do with the real world,” Ross said.

He supported broader testing of effluent for such chemicals and said he tried but failed to persuade federal officials to make that a requirement in new standards Ottawa has set out to govern sewage treatment. Ross said tests should look at not just the impact of individual chemicals but the complex mixtures that can form and interact unpredictably in the receiving waters. There are also concerns the rules leave plant operators in charge of monitoring, what Ross called a “fox in the henhouse” situation. Metro Vancouver

plans to spend $1.4 billion to upgrade its Lions Gate and Iona sewage treatment plants over the next two decades. The Lower Mainland isn’t the only problem area for contamination. Ninety different sewage treatment systems discharge into the Fraser, as well as pulp mills and other sources of industrial effluent. Still more sources discharge from other shores of the Strait of Georgia. Monitoring of toxins in local waters has declined, since DFO in 2005 dismantled its contaminants research program. It was assumed Environment

Canada would take up that work, but that never happened. Panelists lauded past efforts by various agencies to reduce the amounts of pesticides, pharmaceuticals and detergents going down the drains, but said more public awareness is needed.

Langley’s Walter would add scoring punch for Heat Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

For Ben Walter, the opportunity to play close to home was simply too good to pass up. The Langley product, coming off a career year with the AHL’s Lake Erie Monsters, inked a two-year, two-way (NHL/AHL) deal with the Calgary Flames on Saturday, the second day of the unrestricted free agent signing period. Cracking the Flames’ roster is Walter’s ultimate goal, but if that doesn’t materialize, playing for the Abbotsford Heat would be a pretty nice consolation prize. “Either way, whether I’m in Calgary or in Abbotsford, I’m closer to home than I ever have been in my career,” Walter said. “My family lives in the Langley area, and my wife’s family is from the Ladner/Tsawwassen area. We always come back in the summer. “So that definitely played a big part in the decision (to sign).” Walter, the son of former NHLer Ryan Walter, was born in Beaconsfield, Que. during his dad’s nine-year tenure with the Montreal Canadiens. He moved with his family to B.C. when he was seven years old after his father signed with the Vancouver Canucks. Walter played his junior A hockey for the Langley Hornets before earning an NCAA scholarship to UMass-Lowell. The Boston Bruins drafted him in the fifth round in 2004, and he has 24 NHL games under his

The 27-year-old centre put together a terrific 2010-11 campaign with Lake Erie, the Colorado Avalanche’s affiliate. He finished ninth in AHL scoring with 70 points (23 goals, 47 assists) in 77 games, marking the fifth straight season he’s hit the 20-goal and 50-point plateaus in the AHL. “I pride myself on playing well at both ends of the ice,” he said. “I try to make the

guys around me better. I’m more of a set-up guy than a shooter.” In a press release, Flames general manager Jay Feaster touted Walter’s ability to mentor younger players in the AHL. It’s a job Walter relishes – he wore the captain’s ‘C’ for the Monsters last season. “When I was younger, the veteran guys helped me adjust and made me feel welcome,” he said. “If I can help some of the young guys coming in, that’s great.”

Realignment sees Heat land in West Division

Texas teams will be frequent guests at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre this season, after the American Hockey League unveiled a divisional realignment on Tuesday. The AHL is switching from four divisions in two conferences to a six-division format (three per conference). The Abbotsford Heat are new members of the West Division, joining the Texas Stars, San Antonio Rampage, Houston Aeros and Oklahoma City Barons. The move means the Heat likely won't be seeing fellow Canadian teams like the Hamilton Bulldogs or the To r o n t o M a rl i e s as often t h i s season – both teams are in the reconstituted North Division. The Chicago Wolves, the Vancouver Canucks' new AHL affiliate, are members of the Midwest Division. The regular-season schedule format is still to be determined, but Dave Sheldon, the Heat's director of communication, said the team is hopeful they'll be able to weight their inter-divisional schedule to include more games against the likes of the Wolves, Marlies and Bulldogs, since those teams remain in the Western Conference with Abbotsford. Ultimately, the Heat feel the realignment makes sense for them from a geographic standpoint. With the Manitoba Moose moving to St. John's, Nfld., the Texas teams are Abbotsford's closest AHL neighbours. "When we're on the road, we've always found our road trips to Texas, San Antonio and Houston to be less exhausting than having to go back east,” Sheldon noted. Q Visit abbynews.com for a full listing of the new AHL divisions.

IN MEMORIAM RICK ROFFEL March 25, 1984 ~ July 8, 2009

There’s a special angel in Heaven. That is part of me It is not where I wanted him But where God wanted him to be He was here but just a moment Like a night time shooting star And though he is in heaven He isn’t very far. He touched the hearts of many Like only an angel can do I’ve loved him with all my heart His big smile and eyes of blue So I send this special message To the heavens up above Please take care of my Angel And send him all my Love I Love You & Miss You Love Mom (Mod)

He is survived by his wife of 60 years, two children, two daughters-inlaw, one son-in-law, six grandchildren, three great grandchildren, two brothers, two sisters and many nephews and nieces both in Canada and Germany. He was predeceased by his eldest son. A Funeral Service will be held on Monday July 11, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. at Valley View Funeral Home, 14660 72nd Ave, Surrey, B.C.

KAMPMAN Christopher Leslie Born December 30, 1973 Passed Away July 2, 2011

Chris passed away at Abbotsford Regional Hospital at the age of 37. Chris was born in Regina, SK. He was lovingly given to our family by his birth mother, who also grieves at this time. We know Chris is with the Lord, as he professed that himself. He will be sadly missed and remembered with love by his mother Alida, father Leo, sisters Jacqueline, Roxanne (John) and Leona (John), brothers Norman and Darren (Theresa), nephews Cody, Daniel, Kerry and Anderson, nieces Shayla, Alexis, Yolaine, Madison, Amanda, Jessica and Evangeline, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. We gratefully thank the staff in the ICU for the great care and dedication they showed. A memorial service will be held to celebrate his life on Friday, July 8, 2011, 1:30 pm at Gateway Community Church, 2884 Gladys Ave., Abbotsford, BC (on the Mission Hwy).

Russell went to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday July 2nd 2011 after a long courageous battle with cancer. He passed away very peacefully with his wife by his side at the Abbotsford Hospital Palliative care unit. Thank you so much to the amazing staff who genuinely cared for Russell. Their concern and encouragement helped us make it through many difďŹ cult days. Russell will be greatly missed by his wife of 20yrs. Deanne, his two sons Devin (18) and Dayton (16); his brother Kevin, Parents Ed and Joanne and many others who were blessed to call him friend. Russ touched the hearts and lives of many people. He will be remembered for his kindness, his love for other people and for the passion for life, family, friends and most of all for our God. His strength, courage and unwavering faith were apparent to everyone he met. A truly amazing man. Until we meet again my love. A celebration of his life will be on July 11, 2:00pm at Cedar Valley Mennonite Church 32840 Janzen Ave. Mission, B.C. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, donations to support the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education would be appreciated. Bakerview Crematorium & Funeral Services 604-820-8844

HELP WANTED

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sylvia Dawn Read (nee Falk) beloved wife, mother, daughter and sister on June 22nd 2011. Sylvia was born in Mission, BC, September 26, 1941. She is survived by her loving husband of 47 years, Goldie Read and leaves to cherish her memory: her son, Robert Read and his wife Ashley, her father, Lawrence W. Falk; her brothers Darrel Falk and his wife Joyce and Doug Falk and his wife Gwen; brother and sister-in-law Terry and Joan Read; and numerous nephews, nieces, cousins and aunt, Phyllis Groat. Sylvia was predeceased by her mother, Isabelle Falk in 1997. Sylvia grew up in South Burnaby where she learned early to love her Lord. She attended Canadian Nazarene College in Winnipeg, Manitoba where she met Goldie Read. They were married in Vancouver in 1964. The newlyweds traveled back to Winnipeg where they both ďŹ nished their theology degrees. They moved to Burnaby in the fall of 1967. Sylvia was a godly, loving woman. Over the years she served faithfully in her local church. She taught the youngest Sunday school children for over 30 years. With her husband, she worked tirelessly for over 30 years in the music program of the church. She had a beautiful soprano voice. In 2003 she was awarded The Distinguished Service Award, the highest award for a member in The Church of The Nazarene. In 1999 diabetes began to slow her work. She was quiet of spirit, a listener and a burden-bearer to many who touched her life along the way. She was much loved by everyone she encountered. The family wishes to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Center. Sylvia especially cherished the friendships she developed in the Renal Department where she had dialysis treatments three times each week. A celebration of her life will be held at the Abbotsford Church of the Nazarene on July the 8th at 11:00 am.
