Break-ins continue to plague Townline neighbourhoods A family describes their safety concerns Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The woman had just returned home from work and was having a shower when she heard the doorbell ring at her west Abbotsford home. She ignored the sound, but when she came downstairs, she spotted a car in her driveway with the driver still inside. She ventured outside, just in time to see a second man punching numbers into the keypad of her garage. “Who are you? What are you doing?!” the woman asked. The man stopped and, without saying a word, got into the passenger seat of the vehicle, and the car pulled away. Now, the woman’s daughter, Preet, said she and her family are unnerved about having been the potential victims of a break-and-enter in an area that has experienced a rash of them since last fall. The latest figures from the Abbotsford Police Department indicate there have been 33 home break-ins in the Townline Road and Blueridge Drive area from Nov. 5 to April 26. Const. Ian MacDonald said the suspects have targeted mainly jewelry, cash and laptop computers. In one of the thefts, the culprits made off with $50,000 in jewelry, electronics and foreign currency. They have mainly entered the homes by prying open locked windows at a time when the residences are unoccupied. MacDonald said the culprits likely have been observing the routines of residents in the area before targeting specific homes.

That concerns Preet and her family. They believe the thieves had been watching their home for days, learning their routines and observing the code they were entering on their garage keypad. The incident took place on the one night of the week that the family usually isn’t home, but Preet’s mom came home from work two hours early that day. Preet said they are concerned that if the suspects had entered the home and been startled by her mom, they might have harmed her. The family now ensures there is someone home at all times, and they have installed video surveillance cameras on their property. “We’re so scared … It’s very, very unnerving,” she said. The family also initially had concerns that when calling to report the incident to police, they were not given a file number nor did anyone follow up with them. Police have since looked into their concerns, and MacDonald said it was discovered that an error in judgment by a call-taker resulted in the information not being forwarded to investigators. Police have since made contact with the family, and Preet’s mom has provided suspect and vehicle descriptions, which police are not releasing at this time, to avoid hindering the investigation. Day and night patrols have been stepped up in the area. Residents are asked to continue to report suspicious activity by calling the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225 or texting abbypd (222973).

Education struggle goes on

Many parents were probably hopeful that last week’s B.C. Court of Appeal decision was the last they’d hear about the provincial government’s seemingly never-ending battle with the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) over the removal of class size and special-needs support formulas from classrooms. Wishful thinking... In a judgment Thursday, four of five appeal court judges found that the province did not infringe on the constitutional rights of teachers to bargain working conditions. It was a stinging rebuke to the teachers’ union, finding that the government has the authority to set class sizes and special needs support in public schools, and that it didn’t bargain in bad faith. Regardless, the BCTF said it will try to take the case to the Supreme Court of Canada, and the historical shoving match between Victoria and the BCTF will see yet another chapter.

While no one would argue that class sizes should be left to expand without limits, and while support for specialneeds children is vital to give those kids the tools they need to become healthy adults, both issues should not be decided by unions, contract negotiators, and subsequently, lawyers and courts. These issues are at the core of education policy and the type of learning environments provided for our children – in context of what is reasonable, affordable and sustainable over the long-term. To take this out of the hands of the public’s elected representatives – whatever their political stripes – and expect the courts to be the champions of kids through an interpretation of law, isn’t good for anyone. The public has the ability to express and test its education values as a priority at the ballot box. It’s how democracy should work.

Right or wrong, it’s about amassing numbers Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand My introduction to federal politics in the Fraser Valley came in the spring of 1968 when, in the parking lot adjacent to the Chilliwack Progress, I watched Liberal candidate Jerry Pringle suddenly flip over and walk on his hands! I had just finished interviewing him and incumbent candidate Rev. Alex B. Patterson in the office and continued outside with them to chat when Pringle surprised us. His antics brought a smile to my face (and my only non-Conservative federal vote), and a dour look from the staid Alex B., at that time the last sitting member of the federal Social Credit Party of Canada. Not only was Pringle bringing vitality and excitement to Valley politics, he was riding on the wave of Trudeau-mania that on June 25, 1968 swept him and Pierre Trudeau’s Liberals to power. It also put the final nail in

the coffin of the federal Socreds. For the 1972 federal election, Patterson re-invented himself as a Progressive Conservative, and once again found himself back in Ottawa. His retirement 12 years later was cause for an exciting and, I’m certain, most lengthy candidate nomination “convention” in the Valley’s history. Among the half-dozen or so mostly well-known long-term residents contending to be the candidate were Abbotsford Mayor George Ferguson and Eaton’s store manager Ross Belsher. It was a spirited event with relatively large contingents supporting each contender amassed in Chilliwack’s Evergreen Hall (our riding then was known as Fraser Valley East). What made that convention exciting was that voters cast their ballot for one candidate, and following the count, the low man on the ticket was dropped and subsequent votes were held, knocking off candidates until the last ballot. The voting took all day – the number of voters declining each time their favourite was dropped. The final late-evening battle for votes was between Ferguson and Belsher, the latter’s solid support from members of the Sevenoaks Alliance Church, many having

been bused to the venue with no ability of returning to Abbotsford until the last ballot was counted, carrying the day. While Blesher’s bloc support was, in the day, a bit controversial for Valley politics, its legitimacy was not contested. Thus I come to this Saturday when casting

It’ll be interesting to see if Gurmant can convert this win into electoral success this October. a ballot for the Conservative candidate for the new riding of Mission-Matsqui-North to Alaska (well, at least to Ashcroft and beyond). The Best Western in Mission where the balloting occurred was packed and it was clear in my mind, even before I voted, who the winner would be. When I first learned that Gurmant Grewal, denied candidacy by the Conservatives in Cloverdale-Langley City this past November, was promoting his son in this riding, I knew

his tactics of gathering together huge membership numbers would occur here, too. And the numbers don’t deny it: 3,841 total memberships, 1,864 eventual voters on Saturday, close to 1,000 votes putting his son over the top on first count. I’ve received many emails and calls over the past couple of days alleging all sorts of things: interloper-candidate, mass membership purchases, voting by non-residents – none substantiated. What can be confirmed is that unless you are pushed by highly motivated people, most don’t join political parties nor are willing to spend the time participating in candidate selection. Gurmant understands that. He first got himself elected, then his wife – for a time, until allegations of scandal caused him to step aside – the only husband-wife team to ever sit in the House of Commons. Now he has helped his son attempt to be the first mother-son team of MPs in Ottawa. I’ll be interested to see if Gurmant can convert this win into electoral success this October. All I can say is that he won’t be doing it with my help. markrushton@abbynews.com

Medicine Hat is known as the city that solved homelessness, so perhaps we should pay some attention. Another person sharing information is Soledad Vega. Below are two excerpts from Vega’s article, “Solving Vancouver’s homelessness problem through public health care,” Rabble.ca: “A study released in 2012 by Dr. Michael Krausz, a professor of psychiatry at UBC and the UBC Providence Leadership Chair, found that half the people who are homeless first found themselves without a home before they turned 25.

“Eighty-five per cent suffered some kind of emotional, physical or sexual abuse in their childhood, many of them while in foster care. “The study also found that 93 per cent of all homeless people have a current mental disorder and 83 per cent exhibit a substance abuse disorder. “Finding ways to provide the proper medical support for the most vulnerable will be far more productive than discussing this year’s statistics on street homelessness.” Or we can hold tightly onto the status quo, label those on the street as “lazy,” and loudly begrudge the few services that are provided.

It also would have been nice to meet my neighbours. To the two houses that did open their doors, I was able to meet those neighbours and we did have lovely conversations. Thank you for that.

Two men were taken to hospital early Sunday morning after police received reports of an assault in progress in the 2400 block of Crescent Way. After 2:45 a.m., police arrived at a residence which had been contaminated with bear spray, said Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald. Inside were a 55-year-old victim and a 25-yearold suspect who were both seriously injured. “It looked like an altercation had taken place,” MacDonald said. He said the 25-year-old had allegedly come to the home armed with bear spray, a replica hangun, a machete, bolt cutters and a hammer. MacDonald said that before police e arrived, the suspect had been subdued by another occupant of the VIDEINOE home who assisted the 55-year-old. ONLws.com abbyne The third man did not require hospitalization. The suspect did not live at the home. Charges being considered against the 25-yearold include aggravated assault and assault with a weapon, among others. The exact circumstances of the incident are not yet clear, as the 55-year-old is still in serious condition in hospital, recovering from a head injury. “Oftentimes when we see these types of things, robbery is the motive,” MacDonald said, but added that police are still gathering evidence. He said police officers had to wear gas masks to protect themselves from the bear spray and there was “quite a bit of mayhem” at the scene.

The show runs from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. and features the live music duo from Vancouver that blends acoustic guitar, cello and vocals. John Welsh and Stephanie Glegg of Los Amigos have branched out from the high-en-

ergy fanfare of their six-piece band to create a unique sound that combines the richness of cello with acoustic rhythms from a variety of genres. Original songs showcase a combination of folk, reggae and Latin styles to satisfy both their fan following and first-time listeners alike. The duo also performs unique arrangements of familiar songs ranging from classics by the

Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel to the world music sound of the Gypsy Kings. Concertgoers are also encouraged to take part in Envision Financial’s Full Cupboard program by bringing non-perishable food or cash donations benefitting the Abbotsford Food Bank. For more information about the series, including the full concert schedule, visit abbotsfordartscouncil.org.

An agreement has been reached between U.S.-owned Southern Railway of B.C. and its 120 employees.

Southern Rail, union reach deal in lockout Jeff NAGEL Black Press

A lengthy labour dispute is over between Southern Railway of B.C. and its unionized employees. A tentative agreement has been reached between the U.S.-owned firm and its more than 120 employees, who had been locked out since Jan. 5. SRY employs 20 people in Abbotsford and operates a yard off Vye Road. During the 114-day lockout Southern Railway managers ran the short line railway, which hauls cargo around the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. The company and CUPE local 7000 representatives returned to the bargaining table March 30. Details were not released pending a ratification vote. The lockout began after the union in December rejected a final contract offer of nearly 10 per cent in pay hikes spread over six years. According to the expired collective agreement, Southern Railway current wages for regular employees range from $28.99 an hour for janitors to $36.07 for locomotive engineers and $38.01 for rail traffic controllers. Members of CUPE local 7000 voted 68 per cent to ratify the new contract, which includes wage hikes totaling 10.5 per cent over seven years, while preserving or improving other benefits or working conditions.

Beautiful handmade vests, hats, baby blankets and booties cover the table at a meeting of a local knitting circle for immigrant women, as members admire one another’s work. The group, run through Abbotsford Community Services (ACS) multicultural and immigrant services, brings together immigrant women in Abbotsford who take donated yarn and create unique, handcrafted projects that will be given back to others through the local food bank and hospital. The group started meeting on Mondays in November of last year at ACS’s west Abbotsford offices. Andrea Dykshoorn, co-ordinator of the ACS Community Connections program, said many immigrant women are often seen by society as “unskilled workers,” but when you look at their knitting abilities “it’s incredible.” She said finding work is a matter of opportunity and can be difficult for immigrant women. But through the knitting group, they get to use the skills they have to help others, as well as connect with the community and work on their English language proficiency. Bhupinder Banbheru has been attending the group since it began. While she didn’t know all the women when

Lawn bowling club sees 80th year Hosts annual season-opening event

The Jubilee Park Lawn Bowling Club began its 80th anniversary season on Wednesday, April 29 with its annual opening day. Abbotsford Coun. Patricia Ross, the city’s deputy mayor, rolled the first ball of the season. The club, located at 2552 McCallum Rd., began in 1935 when a few residents got together and volunteered their time and equipment to construct a lawn bowling green. In the beginning, the plot of ground was not part of Jubilee Park, so some brambles and brush had to be cleared to make a suitable area. The club was originally known as the Abbotsford Lawn Bowling Club. It later became part of Jubilee Park and its name was changed in 1987. Initially, there was just one green, but over time, it expanded to eight. The current clubhouse was constructed

Ball hockey event supports Matthew’s House

A ball hockey tournament in May will help raise funds to support Matthew’s House, a respite home for families with children who have complex care needs. The Take It To The

Streets tournament will take place May 23 at Sevenoaks Shopping Centre in Abbotsford. The four-on-four event will offer both recreational and competitive hockey games for everyone age seven

and older. Teams must have four to seven players. The event is being organized by Chris Trendall and his dad, Les. “I’ve been involved with hockey my whole

life and thought it would be great to put on a tournament that anyone could participate in,” said Trendall, who works as a special education assistant at MEI school and is a hockey coach.

Volunteers sought for Cost of Eating project Are you interested in food security? Are you looking to gain some volunteer experience? Fraser Health is looking for volunteers to help out with the 2015 Cost of Eating project. The Cost of Eating is an advocacy tool that measures how much it costs to eat a healthy diet in different regions across B.C. The work involves going into selected grocery stores in Fraser Health communities and recording prices of specific food items. Volunteers will choose which Fraser Health communities they wish to volunteer in. Communities include anywhere from the Burnaby and Delta borders all the way east to Chilliwack and Hope. Volunteers will need to be available for a training webinar on how to collect the data. The actual pricing of the foods needs to be done between May 25 and June 5. Food costing at each store takes approximately one and a half to two hours. The total amount of time involved will depend on how many stores the volunteer chooses to cost. Volunteers may choose to work in pairs or alone. Good skills to have: attention to detail, accuracy when collecting data, and having an interest in food. For more information on the Cost of Eating go to: dietitians.ca/ Secondary-Pages/Public/ The-Cost-of-Eating-inBritish-Columbia.aspx

Virtanen’s Calgary Hitmen were eliminated Friday from the WHL playoffs after losing in five games to the Brandon Wheat Kings. But the 18-year-old Yale grad has been called up by the Canucks farm team, the Utica Comets, for their playoff run.

He will be joined by fellow Canucks draft pick Jared McCann, who plays for the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.

Gordon Huxley died in the arms of his Heavenly Father Saturday, May 2nd in the Abbotsford Regional Hospital following a brief illness. He leaves his wife Phyllis and his sons David, Ken (Darlene), Phil (Joanna), numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. Gordon was born in Sydney NSW Australia on March 4, 1928, to Frank and Dorothy Huxley who had recently arrived in Australia from England. The family came to Vancouver, December 1929 where Gordon spent his school years, graduating from Vancouver Technical Secondary School. He met Rose Benner in Vancouver where they married in 1952. Gordon transferred with BC Electric to Abbotsford in 1953 where they built a home and raised their family. Gordon retired from BC Hydro in 1982, and spent the next 20 years enjoying his hobbies, and traveling with Rose to many interesting destinations. After Rose’s death in 2005, Gordon met and married Phyllis in 2006. For the next 9 years they moved back and forth between Abbotsford and Spruce Grove, Alberta to be near their families. Gordon had a variety of interests: he was an accomplished radio controlled model airplane builder, talented photographer, and first class multimedia technician. Gordon accepted God into his life at an early age, the decision which became both chart and compass of his life, and which created the deep desire to live and teach God’s Truth. Besides his teaching, Gordon was actively involved with the rebuilding Camp Kawkawa in Hope as well as numerous other projects. The family would like to thank the Abbotsford Regional Hospital staff and doctors for their care and kindness. A funeral service will be held in Abbotsford at the Seven Oaks Alliance Church at 1:30 pm, Saturday May 9th, 2015. Sadly missed & dearly loved. In lieu of flowers, donations to Wycliffe Bible Translators are gratefully appreciated. Online condolences to the family may be made at:

Ron passed peacefully into the presence of his Lord and Saviour on Wednesday, April 29th surrounded by his family. Ron was born in Victoria, BC to Tibor Eugene Rittich and Enid Margaret Putnam. After high school Ron pursued a career in engineering at BCIT and went on to work for various civil engineering firms. Most recently, Ron worked for Wedler Engineering as the project manager until his retirement. He maintained a close relationship with his work colleagues. Ron really enjoyed going out for dinner exploring the outdoors, rock collecting, and daily going to Starbucks. He would often spend hours there studying and reading his Bible. During his last year of life he dealt with much physical suffering and Romans 5:1-5 became his anchor passage. Ron is survived by his dear wife of 33 years, Benita, daughters Rebecca (Mark), Ruth, Rachel and grandson Jacob; sisters Janet (Jack Chalifoux), Sue (Tom Chernenkoff), nephews and nieces. The family wishes to thank the nurses and doctors at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, May 6, 2015 from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm at Henderson’s Funeral Home, 34537 Marshall Road, Abbotsford, BC.
