Abbotsford couple survive deadly earthquake in Nepal

‘My soul was on its knees’

More than two years ago, twin brothers Matthew and Noah Dawes moved from Abbotsford to Kathmandu with their wives Nicole and Cathryn to start a business and help those in need. The brothers set up Milkmandu, an organic dairy selling pasteurized milk, while the wives volunteered at an orphanage the dairy helps support. When Cathryn and Noah returned to Canada to start a family, Matthew and Nicole remained in Kathmandu. They were there Saturday when a devastating earthquake hit, killing and injuring thousands. The couple sent The News this account, edited for space.

Violent shaking for 30 to 45 seconds who I knew would have the situation well under control. I made my way on foot through the downed power lines and fallen walls to Thamel (the main tourist area of the city), to see if any assistance was needed. It was a mass exodus of hundreds of panicking backpackers. The roads were somewhat clear, so I decided to run back to my truck and make a dash for the south of town to where we live. I didn’t make it far before the road was impassible. Hundreds of people were on the streets in a panic. Slowly, I made my way south. I exchanged my truck for my motorcycle, knowing I could get around quicker on it. I called Nicole, and she was safe and sound, so I headed to the small guest house we own near Patan Durbar square, a historic area of the city. From what I could see, it was the old brick buildings and perimeter security walls that were most affected. There are ancient structures mixed in everywhere with the newer structures. No one was hurt at the guesthouse, even though two of the rooms sustained damage from a partial roof collapse. I knew the oldest part of Patan (Durbar square) would be most affected, so I made my way there next to see if I could help. I was shocked again to see how much had collapsed. Two of the largest temples were in ruins. Immediately after the earthquake, civilians dug through Horrified, I saw fathers digging, Matthew Dawes photo the rubble in search of survivors. searching for their children. I quickly joined in the effort; not that I knew what I was doing, I simply started digging and moving bricks from a pile that was believed to have people under it. Many volunteers came with shovels and homemade tools. It was over an hour before we saw the broken, lifeless body of a middle-aged Nepali man. Before he was fully dug out, the military arrived and took over the search. Night was fast approaching, so I went home as quickly as I could to ensure we had the proper supplies for the the British Embassy which was acnight. cepting Commonwealth passport holders at the time.

Figure based on budget for family of four Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Each parent in a family of four currently needs to make $17.27 an hour in order to obtain basic needs and “maintain a decent standard of living,” says a local group. Living Wage Fraser Valley (LWFV), hosted by Vibrant Abbotsford, has calculated the 2015 “living wage” for the area from Abbotsford to Hope/Boston Bar, including Mission. The figure was released today (Wednesday). A living wage is calculated based on a budget for a healthy family of four with two children ages four and seven, and each parent working 35 hours a week for 52 weeks a year. It takes into account basic expenses such as food, housing, childcare, clothing and transportation, after government taxes, credits, deductions and subsidies have been factored in. The living wage does not consider home ownership, debt, holidays, saving for retirement or a child’s education, or caring for a disabled, ill or elderly family member. This year’s calculation is up 1.5 per cent from the 2014 figure of $17.02. Vibrant Abbotsford director Alison Homer said childcare, transportation and food were the biggest drivers of the increase, rising by $50, $29 and $24 respectively each month since last year. Homer said the living wage is released annually to demonstrate how the real costs of living are changing in local communities. She said this year the trend is continuing that the cost of living is rising faster than inflation. “It is progressively harder each year for families to make ends meet, with families having to spend $308 more each month than they did three years ago to cover the same expenses,” Homer said. She said the calculation emphasizes the need for businesses, policy makers and citizens to work together to ensure

communities are affordable places for all residents. Homer said this year’s report highlights the need for government policies that benefit lower income families. For example, she said this year’s expanded universal childcare benefit brings down the living wage by only 16 cents, whereas the proposed $10-a-day childcare plan would reduce it by $3.33. Homer said the living wage is based on the premise that people who work full-time should never have to live in poverty. The Valley currently has two living wage employers – Vancity

Final Heat supply fee payment hit $2.7 million Total fees reached almost $8M Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

The payout to the Abbotsford Heat hockey team continued to grow in its final year, costing taxpayers almost $2.7 million for the 2013/14 season. The final season’s supply fee payment was $2,683,040 – the highest in the five years of the deal, which was severed last spring after five years of a 10year agreement. The supply fee was part of an agreement between the American Hockey League affiliate of the Calgary Flames and the city to ensure the team a break-even annual budget of $5.7 million. Over the first four years of the deal, taxpayers covered a total of $5.24 million in financial shortfalls, bringing total supply fee costs to just under $8 million.

The payment in the inaugural 2009-10 season was $450,000, rising in the next two seasons to $1.37 million and $1.76 million respectively. In the 2012-13 season, that dropped slightly to $1.66 million. Last April, the city paid $5.5 million to terminate the remaining five years of the 10-year supply fee agreement signed in 2009. At that time, it was predicted that the team would incur about $11 million in deficits over the final five years of the deal, to be covered by the city. Paying out the contract would save about half that amount. The contract severance also brought in a new plan for the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, which was renamed the Abbotsford Centre. The city is still pursuing a new anchor tenant for the building.

John Durham and the Klein family arranged an event at the Thunderbird Memorial Square cenotaph last Friday night to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Second Battle of Ypres, in which John’s father fought.

Second Battle of Ypres remembered

A small ceremony was held in Abbotsford on Friday night to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Second Battle of Ypres in the First World War. The event was held at the cenotaph in Thunderbird Memorial Square and was arranged by John Durham and the Klein family. Durham’s dad, Private Edwin Durham, was gassed and wounded twice in the battle. Durham invited members of the Royal Canadian Legion to attend the ceremony, which involved Rev. Art Turnbull saying a prayer, followed by two minutes of silence and the reading of The Act of Remembrance.

Private Durham’s granddaughter, Jennifer Lee, read In Flanders Fields in honour of author Dr. John McCrae, who was present in his medical station on the Yser Canal, attending to soldiers wounded in the battle. A short history of the battle was given by Peter Slade, who laid large file cards on the ground with the names of the Canadian battalions involved in the front line defending the village of St. Julien, outside Ypres, along with the French and British troops who were involved. A wreath and candles were placed at the cenotaph by Durham and his family.

Bus fees to rise for most students

DAY OF MOURNING

$100 hike for regular riders, but those attending schools of choice will see fees fall Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

School bus fees will rise next year for the majority of riders, although families with students attending a school of choice will see costs decrease. Abbotsford’s board of education unanimously voted Tuesday to move to a single fee structure for bus riders, no matter which district school they attend. With the district trying to balance its budget, the move is expected to bring in more than $125,000 in additional revenue. The district will still pay more to operate buses than it collects in fees. In 2014/15, bus revenue of $400,000 was dwarfed by $2.72 million in expenses. “We wanted to be trying to recoup a little bit more of our costs,” school board chair Cindy Schafer said. “We’re trying to split the difference and find that middle ground that seems reasonable.”

This year, 2,749 students use the district’s school buses, of which 1,162 take the bus to get to a school of choice. The majority of the rest are regular riders, but also include special needs students who take specialized buses, aboriginal students whose fees are subsidized, and students in career programs who take the bus to go to classes at the University of the Fraser Valley. For next year, individual riders will cost $300, while families will pay $500 for bus service. That is an increase for families with students who go to their catchment area school, and who previously paid $200 for a single student or $400 for a family. Fees for students who go to a school of choice will see costs drop. They had been paying $350 for a single rider or $700 for multiple students. Schools of choice are: Abbotsford Traditional secondary and middle; King Traditional elementary; South

MAGNUSON

Poplar Traditional elementary; ASIA North Poplar and Sumas Mountain; Chief Dan George Middle; and WJ Mouat secondary. Mouat and Chief Dan George also have catchment students, while South Poplar has no bus service. This year, there are 1,162 Schafer said she knows the move won’t make everybody happy, but said “we’re hoping this is still a reasonable approach.” She said the fees are similar to those in place several years ago, before a tiered structure was put in place. In its preliminary budget, the district also noted that increased collection efforts will require prior year fees to be paid prior to registration for transportation services for the coming year. Schafer said students whose families don’t have the ability to pay for bussing can gain exemptions from their school’s principal.

Mel Camilli, who lost his legs in a logging accident in 1987, was among the speakers on Tuesday morning at a National Day of Mourning ceremony at Abbotsford’s Civic Plaza. The annual event commemorates workers who have been killed as a result of VIKKI HOPES Abbotsford News their jobs. See more online at abbynews.com.

Another grim reminder Indian Ocean earthquake/tsunami - 2004 Pakistan earthquake - 2005 Haiti earthquake - 2010 Japan earthquake/tsunami - 2011 In the past 10 years, the world has seen numerous major seismic events strike populated areas, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of injuries, and billions of dollars in damage. Last weekend, yet another such catastrophe occurred, as a devastating earthquake hit Nepal, claiming thousands of lives. How fitting that Emergency Preparedness Week begins Sunday across this country. Yet, despite the stark, chilling reminders of the unfathomable power of nature, and how it can literally tear normal life asunder, most people will give the issue here hardly more than fleeting thought. After all, the disasters listed above all occurred a long way from here – the “safe, secure” West Coast. Or at least, that’s the common misconception. We live on the edge of a major fault line in

Mark

the Earth’s crust. Scientists are confident it is only a matter of time before building tectonic plate pressure triggers a cataclysmic release. When it does, it will be the rest of the world’s turn to watch as the West Coast experiences its own natural disaster. Despite the official warnings and very real reminders, how many of us are prepared in any meaningful way to deal with such a crisis? A major earthquake is likely to destroy or damage bridges, roads, sanitation systems, and cut off the supply of electricity, natural gas and water. Emergency responders will be overwhelmed, at least for several days, perhaps longer. Many people will be waiting in vain for help, assuming they can even call for assistance. Do you have a family emergency plan? At least a few days of water stored safely? Canned or dried food? A means to cook it? What about emergency light, shelter, sanitary measures? Or are you with the hundreds of thousands of others who are merely hoping “it won’t happen here?”

Not much we can do but wait for it

Rushton On the

Other Hand While we sit here in relative complacency, horrified at a presumably safe distance from the devastation that struck Nepal this past week, it should be a wake-up to everyone along the B.C. coast. You just have to ‘Google’ the frequency of earthquakes that rock B.C. almost every day to realize we are also a disaster waiting to happen. Watching newscasts of the Nepal devastation, it is easy to understand how so many died due to rickety building construction, and perhaps easy to understand our relative disregard due to our presumed superior construction. However, the degree of safety is assumed, since schools built only 30 years ago or so require, and such as Yale Secondary is currently undergoing, seismic upgrades, as is the relatively recent

construction of the Mission Bridge over the Fraser. For some the response is “about time,” – for others it’s “nice to see” – but most just ignore it, despite the fact there are thousands of buildings on the Lower Mainland built long before seismic awareness. Yet, in the past 11 days alone B.C. has recorded 10 quakes, the largest registering 6.2 magnitude in Kitimat on Friday, bracketed by two 4.1 magnitude events hitting Haida Gwaii. By seismic standards those three were relatively mild, though they were ground and building shakers just the same. In the Seattle area in 2001, a 6.8 tremor caused a billion dollars in damage, and last year was the 50th anniversary of the Alaska quake that sent a tsunami roaring down the B.C. coast and all the way up the Alberni Canal, inundating a substantial area of that central Vancouver Island city. I recall being in a Langley office about 12 years ago when things began to shake. We rushed outside, and in awe watched hydro poles sway and the parking lot gently ripple . . . “cool.”

No damage, no big scare, but it did remind that we are in an earthquake zone, one that science predicts will sooner or later be the recipient of a shaker far greater than the one that has devastated Nepal and the northern India sub-continent.

It sounds like a doomsday scenario, and what has just happened in Nepal is a warning that we are far from invulnerable. Warnings are that buildings constructed on Fraser Valley floodplain lands, such as Richmond, will not so much fall down as sink into the vast depths of the alluvial delta, the base soil becoming the consistency of liquid Jell-O due to the vibrations. Similarly, the dikes that hold back the Fraser River and the ocean waters from

coastal areas are expected to disintegrate. Certainly it sounds like a doomsday scenario, and what has just happened in Nepal is a warning that we are far from invulnerable. Yet what to do? I don’t have an answer, but I do know we need to be more prepared for it than we were for the oil spill in English Bay a couple of weeks ago. Certainly, our various and exceptional emergency responders are equipped to provide aid, but in a disaster of the magnitude of indescribable destruction they are resources far too few and far between. In fact, about all any of us can do is be personally prepared to look after ourselves, with little or no aid, for days and possibly weeks. That, and a full understanding that on one yet-to-be-determined day, the ground beneath our feet will be immensely cruel, and unfortunately there is absolutely nothing we can do to prevent it.

What to do instead of smoking pot In the past several days there has been a great deal of hype regarding the “4/20” smoke-in in Vancouver. Being an octogenarian, I fail to understand the perceived importance of this event, where approximately 30,000 individuals gather to smoke and promote the possibly addictive, harmful drug marijuana. Being at my stage of life, I have several concerns and questions regarding the pro-marijuana stance on this illegal product. I am not opposed to medically, professionally prescribed marijuana. My main concern is the way the pro-marijuana lobby is promoting this product as a heath enhancer. There have also been statements made such as “parents should not be concerned about use by youth; there should not be any age

restrictions for use; and it’s OK to drive after use. Hopefully there can be some intelligent answers to my questions. Why should I smoke marijuana? Because it is my right to decide what I put in my body? Why would I want to put this drug in my body? Is it to drown out my daily frustration? Because I am bored and need something to get me motivated? It makes me forget about my daily problems? What would I do instead of smoking pot? How about getting involved in the community such as visiting seniors in nursing homes, taking them for walks or coffee, hiking in our beautiful country, upgrading job skills, helping a neighbour, etc. Eric Myrholm, Abbotsford

Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford man has been charged with nine counts of contravening the B.C. Securities Act. John David Briner, 37, a former securities lawyer in Vancouver who lives in Abbotsford, was charged at the end of March for “failing to comply with a decision made under the act” in 2011, 2012 and 2013. According to the provincial court database, he was released from custody on $5,000 bail and next appears May 11 in Vancouver provincial court. Briner’s difficulties with the authorities date back to 2009. In September of that year, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a complaint in court against Briner, saying he participated in a fraudulent scheme to artificially inflate the market for shares in a penny stock company. The charges were never proved in court. In April 2010, Briner reached an agreement with the SEC, consenting to sanctions that included fiveyear bans from serving as an officer or director of an issuer of certain securities and from participating in any offering of penny stocks. He was also ordered to pay back $52,488 in ill-gotten gains and a $25,000 civil penalty. Following the agreement with the SEC, a panel from the B.C. Securities Commission (BCSC) also gave Briner a five-year ban. The Law Society of B.C. began professional misconduct proceedings against Briner in July 2014, alleging he misappropriated $50,439 from a client between December 2012 and October 2013. Briner failed to show up for a discipline hearing on the matter, held last December, but was found to have committed professional misconduct. Documents in that case state that Briner had ap-

plied the misappropriated funds to another client and for his own use and failed to co-operate with a Law Society investigation into the matter. A date to determine disciplinary action has not yet been set, although Briner is not currently practising law. Briner again became the subject of SEC action in January of this year, when the commission announced charges against Briner and 10 others. The SEC alleges that Briner orchestrated a scheme which entailed creating shell companies supposedly exploring mining activities. The SEC alleges that because Briner was still under his five-year ban from the SEC, he recruited clients and associates to become officers “while he secretly controlled the companies from behind the scenes.” Stop-order proceedings by the SEC last year resulted in the suspension of the registration for the 20 microcap companies before any investors purchased the stocks. That matter will now be scheduled for a public hearing before a judge to determine whether any action should be taken against Briner and the others, who are accused of violating the anti-fraud provision of the U.S. Securities Act and engaging in improper professional conduct. Also south of the border, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced last week that it has filed civil action against Briner and a California man, Matthew Marcus, for engaging in fictitious single stock future transactions and trading non-competitively. Briner, his wife and their seven children now operate a 14-acre market garden farm in the Bradner area of Abbotsford, according to information online.

Davey Butorac found guilty of murder at second trial

Convicted of killing Sheryl Korroll in 2007 Monique TAMMINGA Black Press

A B.C. Supreme Court jury has found Davey Butorac guilty of murdering Langley City sex trade worker Sheryl Korroll. The jury began deliberating last Monday and returned with its verdict in court in New Westminster on Wednesday. Butorac, 36, will be back before a judge on May 21 to set a date for his sentencing for second-degree murder. Such a conviction comes with an automatic life sentence, but parole eligibility can range from 10 to 25 years. This is the second time Butorac has been convicted of Korroll’s murder. In 2010, a jury found Butorac guilty of her second-degree murder, as well as the seconddegree murder of 46-year-old Gwendolyn Jo Lawton in March 2007 in Abbotsford. Butorac was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 23 years. Butorac appealed the convic-

SHERYL KORROLL tions, and won new and separate trials for the murders of Korroll and Lawton. No trial date has yet been set for the Lawton murder. Butorac will also be going to trial for the 2006 murder of Aldergrove’s Margaret Redford. The 47-year-old’s body was found in Bertrand Creek, blocks from where Butorac lived with his father. No trial date has been set for the Redford case. No motive has ever been made public at the two trials Butorac has already been through. His parents have written letters to the courts, saying he is a loving son. He has no criminal background, and has never had any real employment.

Korroll’s body was found dumped at a concrete plant in Langley City on July 7, 2007. The 50-year-old, small-framed woman lived with her elderly parents at the time of her death. The court learned she had been addicted to heroin and crack cocaine for 20 years. Surveillance footage at the concrete plant was seized by police. It showed the suspect vehicle to be a light-coloured Cavalier with a sunroof, roof rack and tire treads showing it had BF Goodrich tires. Homicide investigators narrowed the possibility of that kind of make, model and year of car with roof rack and sunroof down to seven in B.C. All seven were examined, and Butorac’s was the last. The jury heard about DNA found in his car, in his trunk and on his shoes that matched that of Korroll. Five blows to the head killed Korroll, according to evidence presented at the two trials.

Grant to support greener communities

Abbotsford has received $182,000 from the province in recognition of its commitment to support healthier, more sustainable communities. “Abbotsford has worked hard to reduce carbon emissions through projects such as the transportation plan, waste management strategies, and promoting urban green spaces,” said Abbotsford MLA Darr yl Plecas. The Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program (CARIP) provides conditional grants to communities that have signed the Climate Action Charter and supports their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Communities that report publicly on their progress toward meeting their climate action goals are eligible to receive a grant equivalent to 100 per cent of the carbon tax they pay directly. In March 2015, $6.4 million was provided to B.C. communities. Since 2008, the province has provided more than $25 million through the CARIP and 96 per cent of communities have signed the Climate Action Charter.

played July 5 at BC Place in Vancouver, a quick walk from the national team’s living quarters. “Canada wants us to do real well and we want to do well, and it’s a matter of going out there and putting in a good performance in,” Schmidt said. The World Cup includes 24 teams and kicks off June 6. Games will be played in six cities: Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal and Moncton. Canada will play its first two group-stage games in Edmonton and its third in Montreal. If Canada finishes top in their pool, they would play their first elimination game June 21 in Vancouver. Canada is ranked eighth in the world heading into the tournament. After losing all three games at the last Women’s World Cup in 2011, Herdman was named head coach and led the team to its stirring 2012 performance. Although the women’s game once featured only a few dominant teams, more countries are now fielding competitive squads. Germany is now the top-ranked team in the world, followed by the United States, France and Japan. “It’s kind of cool to see the gap closing in the women’s game,” Schmidt said. “I think for Canada, it’s going to take a lot for us to beat the best, because we’re not quite there at that threshold there, but it’s going to make for some real good, exciting soccer games and I think that’s what the crowd wants.”

Abbotsford’s Jake Virtanen has been suspended by the Western Hockey League for three games for a hit he delivered during the Eastern Conference championship seriesopener against the Brandon Wheat Kings on Friday. In the third period of Friday’s game against Brandon, Virtanen received a two-minute penalty for charging after dropping Wheat Kings forward Tanner Kaspick at centre ice. Calgary lost the game 9-4. Virtanen was forced to sit out Game 2 of the series – won by the Wheat Kings 3-2 in overtime – as the WHL determined the length of his suspension. The WHL announced the three-game suspension on Monday. Virtanen, selected sixth overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the first round of last year’s NHL entry draft, has five goals and eight assists in 13 playoff games.

Adolph lost his beloved Inge to cancer in 2004, then moved to Vancouver Island to settle down in the quiet of Parksville.

He is survived by his 3 children George (Wendy), Imi (Rob) and Gordon (Debbie), 7 grandchildren as well as sister Ilsedore (Helmut) & brother Gerhard in Germany.

Tributes to family and friends FROESE Gerhard “George” April 8, 1917 – April 24, 2015

FROESE, Gerhard “George” of Abbotsford, BC went to be with the Lord at the age of 98 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital on April 24, 2015. He was born on April 8, 1917 in Isiljkulj, Siberia, Russia. George was predeceased by his father and mother, Isaac and Elizabeth Koop, his adoptive parents Abram and Catherina Froese, his wife, Irma (nee Funk), his younger sister Mary and his other brothers and sisters in Russia. George will be forever missed by his loving wife, Sue (nee Schmidt); his 6 children Ed Froese (Vi), Gerald Froese (Vivian), Bettyanne Neufeld (Ron), Jack Froese (Debbie), Eileen Deros (Glenn) and Marjorie Toews (Dan), 21 grandchildren, 40 great grandchildren, 2 greatgreat grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. George moved from Russia to Canada with his adoptive parents and sister, Mary, at the age of 13 and settled in Steinbach, Manitoba. In 1944 he moved with his family to a dairy farm

in Matsqui, BC. In 1945 George married Irma and settled in Mt. Lehman where he founded Bakerview Farms, a commercial egg farm, and raised his 6 children. George enjoyed his life as a chicken farmer and was very proud of the fact that the farm has remained in the family. George enjoyed his many hours of fishing at Loon Lake with his family, traveling the world and spending time with his grandchildren. A viewing will be held on Thursday, April 30, 2015 at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford, from 9-10:30 a.m. immediately followed by a burial service at Maclure Road Mennonite Cemetery for family and close friends. A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, May 30 at 11:00 a.m. at Bakerview MB Church, 2285 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford. George was always grateful for the Mennonite Central Committee’s help in relocating his family during its move from Russia to Canada. He supported MCC all of his life. Donations in his name would be appreciated to help them continue the work in alleviating hardship throughout the world.
