‘Extreme’ fire risk Danger of blaze leads to closure of Sumas Mountain park
TRAINS MAY RETURN
Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
The “extreme” hazard posed by the tinder-dry conditions has led to the closure of Sumas Mountain Interregional Park. The increasing possibility that a simple spark or a carelessly thrown cigarette butt could start a wildfire prompted a public meeting last Thursday at which dozens of Sumas Mountain residents discussed the need to close the park in order to prevent a human-caused fire in the nearby forest. Two days later, officials closed the gate to the park. Abbotsford assistant fire chief Jeff Adams told The News that a fire could easily be started by a cigarette or the spark from an ATV on Sumas Mountain. He added that the feedback has been good, as most people understand the reasoning behind limiting public access. Due to the lack of accessibility to the area, fighting a fire so high on Sumas Mountain would be very challenging for crews, said Adams. “It’s so tinder-dry on that southern face, a wildfire would just take off up the mountain so quickly.” The park is co-managed by Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD). The western and southern park flanks are within the City of Abbotsford where Metro Vancouver provides regional park services. The eastern portions of Sumas Mountain Interregional Park, including Chadsey Lake, are managed by the FVRD. The area also contains Crown land, which is where the lower gate is located at the start of the forest service road. The gate is managed by the City of Abbotsford under permit authorization from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, according to the ministry. Regional park staff will be patrolling the park to inform members of the public of the fire risk. In Mission, access to the western area of Stave Lake has already been limited, with the road blocked between 10

‘No real relief’ from record-dry conditions From A1
a.m. and 6 a.m. The province has declared a level 4 drought through the whole Lower Fraser. Environment Canada meteorologist Matt MacDonald said Abbotsford has never seen a dry spell like the one it’s currently in. “This is the driest three-month period on record for Abbotsford,” he said. While July averages 43.2 millimetres of rain in Abbotsford, only 3.7 millimetres has fallen so far this month. Saturday was the hottest July 18 on record, with the high of 33.7 C topping the previous record of 32.6 C set in 1995. Sunday was nearly as hot, with a high of 33.2 C, which failed to beat a record of 34.4 set in 1956. Temperatures are expected to cool this week to average levels, with highs between 21 and 25 C. But while there’s a slim chance of a little bit of rain on Friday, MacDonald said there is “no real relief in sight” for the ongoing drought that has been declared in the region. “We’re running a [precipitation] deficit of 140 millimetres over the last three months.” - with files from Tyler Olsen

Empty coal trains may return Railway proposes resumption of rail traffic through city Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
The Southern Railway of BC (SRY) has submitted a proposal that would see empty coal trains resume running through Abbotsford’s downtown several times a day, this time on a long-term basis. SRY has presented BNSF Railway with a plan that, if accepted, would see U.S.bound trains leaving Roberts Bank Coal Terminal to be routed through Abbotsford and the Sumas border crossing. SRY’s track runs from Langley through the northwest section of Abbotsford, then south along Highway 11 and Gladys Avenue, parallel to CP tracks. The line saw 337 two-milelong empty coal trains travel along the route between July 7, 2014 and Jan. 3, 2015. Those operations allowed BNSF to do maintenance work on its line through Washington
A total of 337 trains hauling empty coal cars travelled through File photo Abbotsford last year. state. The trains were halted when SRY locked out its workers during a labour dispute that has now been resolved. Last month, Abbotsford mayor Henry Braun told a crowd at his State of the City address that he expected the trains to resume in the future.
SRY community relations director Singh Biln confirmed to The News that his railway had made a proposal to BNSF regarding future “reroute trains.” Biln said a “long-term” deal was possible that would see two to three trains per day move along the route. Those trains, he said,
would help take trains off of BNSF’s main line, allowing the railway to increase its traffic there. He said, though, that market conditions have decreased coal volumes recently. “We expect that trains will start moving again when market conditions approve and volumes increase,” he said. Biln said SRY will work to improve railway crossings if the route begins to see longterm, regular traffic. BNSF public affairs director Gus Melonas said the company regularly evaluates its traffic flow and volumes. At this point, he said, BNSF is accommodating its traffic on its current routes. “We have not made an official determination at this point on future operations through Abbotsford,” he said, noting the discussions are continuing on using other tracks.

Serial robbery suspect arrested Three incidents in Abbotsford, one in Chilliwack Police have arrested a man suspected of four robberies that occurred in Abbotsford and Chilliwack within six days. Russell Andrew Amos, 29, surrendered Thursday night after a two-hour standoff with the Abbotsford Police Department’s (APD) emergency response team at an apartment complex in the 33900 block of Old Yale Road. The robberies began July 10 at a pizza restaurant in the 33000 block of South Fraser Way. A second incident took place at a gas station in the 1900 block of Sumas Way on July 12 at 10:30 p.m. Const. Ian MacDonald said based on
security video and valuable information and descriptions provided by witnesses, the suspect was quickly identified as the same person involved in the first robbery. A third robbery occurred July 13 at a beer and wine store in the 45900 block of Hocking Avenue in Chilliwack. With the assistance of Chilliwack RCMP and continued investigation by APD major crime detectives, Amos was identified as the suspect. Police began searching for him and checking possible locations where he might be hiding. A fourth robbery took place on Thursday at 7 a.m. at a restaurant in the 2000 block of Sumas Way, and Amos was located
later that day. In all four robberies, the suspect either indicated he had a weapon or a weapon was displayed. Amos has now been charged with four counts of robbery. According to the provincial court database, he has an extensive criminal record, including convictions for assaulting a peace officer, mischief, theft, uttering threats, assault with a weapon, sexual assault with a weapon/threats/ bodily harm, robbery, obstructing a peace officer, and breaching his bail and probation conditions. Most of those convictions took place in Victoria.

Seniors threatened in park Four teens charged in Goldfinch incident Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Four teens who allegedly threatened and yelled obscenities at seniors gathered in an Abbotsford park have been arrested and charged. Const. Ian MacDonald said police were alerted to the incidents at about 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, when they received a report that four young men had been driving around Goldfinch Park (located off Goldfinch Street in west Abbotsford), yelling at people in the park and throwing rocks at them. MacDonald said the park is mostly used by senior South Asian men, who meet there to play cards and socialize. He said the teens allegedly yelled at the seniors to get out of the park or they would be hurt or killed. “(They yelled) completely rude, crude and threatening things,” MacDonald said. Patrol officers stepped up enforcement near the park and spoke to park-goers who said they were scared that the young men would follow through on their threats. Many of them said the suspects had been using some type of device to amplify their
voices as they drove by. MacDonald said police received further information that the harassment had begun on Wednesday and had continued on a daily basis. On Saturday at 8 p.m., two officers stopped a blue Infiniti sedan with four young men near the park. One of the passengers appeared to be raising a megaphone to his mouth just before the interaction with police, MacDonald said. Based on descriptions and details provided by the witnesses and additional evidence, four teens have been arrested and charged with uttering threats and causing a disturbance. They are: Amarprit Singh Dhaliwal, 19, Gobind Denzil Singh Pangli, 19, and Suraj Narang, 18. A 17-year-old was also charged but cannot be named due to provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. MacDonald said police have had previous interactions with two of the suspects. He said police are perplexed about what would motivate anyone to carry out such behaviour. “It’s a head-scratcher … None of the four were taking the situation very seriously, even when they were arrested,” he said.

Unsettling natural trends While this year’s strange weather patterns and unusual wildfire season are upsetting, scientists say we should keep an eye on long-term trends, not the shortterm aberrations. One area where this is particularly evident is in the study of salmon habits. Scientists have found that trends of ocean warming and cooling can mask the effects of climate change, with a cooler phase starting now. But at the same time, scientists are also noticing some salmon species are moving further north, even into Alaska, and some Fraser River salmon are returning early, which can affect spawning survival. Another report issued recently found that changes in ocean physics and chemistry brought on by climate change will eventually exterminate some salmon, reducing the food fishery and making salmon even more expensive. While there are those who say we can’t afford to eat salmon anyway, the warning
should be heeded because of the importance of the iconic fish to the ecosystem. Salmon are a keystone species, critical to the survival of other forms of life. They fertilize forests, feed wildlife and, like the proverbial canary in a coal mine, can inform us about our own future by changes in their habits. How can we help? We can conserve water and electricity so more water can be released into creeks and rivers. We can stop pouring noxious substances down storm drains and discourage development from being placed too close to creeks so trees and foliage, which moderate temperatures and water flows, and feed fish with their nutrients, are preserved. It may be smokey and hot but that doesn’t mean the apocalypse is here. If we learn nothing else from this overheated summer, we should at least learn to be more sensitive and protective of our natural surroundings. – Black Press
Nestlé protest doesn’t hold water Tom
Fletcher
B.C. Views Have you noticed the latest degradation of standards on TV news? In addition to sensational depictions of crime, accidents and celebrities, the lineup now incorporates any nonsense that is momentarily “viral” on the Internet. So it was with an online petition singling out Swiss food corporation Nestlé, which operates a water bottling plant near Hope. It’s the largest in B.C., one of many that bottle the province’s water and sell it back to a gullible public. This petition is courtesy of SumOfUs, one of those self-appointed environmental watchdogs that seem to pop up like mushrooms overnight. “Fighting for people over profits,” they claim, pitching for donations. The story has what U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert calls “truthiness.” That’s when something is false, but it “feels” true.
“Nestlé is about to suck B.C. dry – for $2.25 per million litres to be exact,” says the SumOfUs headline. Using her keen sense of what’s superficially popular, Premier Christy Clark instantly called for a review of these low rates for selling the people’s water. It then fell to Environment Minister Mary Polak to explain what’s really going on. “People keep saying there’s a deal with Nestlé,” Polak told reporters. “There isn’t. They pay the same as any other industrial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from hydraulic fracturing to bottled water, those involved in mining for example, any of those heavy industrial uses.” And why is that rate so low? It’s because the province takes great pains not to “sell” water, which would make it a commodity under trade agreements, like oil or minerals. That would surrender provincial control, and allow the U.S. to press for equal
access to Canadian water. “You’re buying the right to use the water,” Polak said. “I know it sounds crazy to the public, but we call it a rental – a water rental. There’s a reason we use that language, because we are very careful to avoid any suggestion that by paying this amount, you therefore own that water. “That reserves for us the right at any time, for a compelling public need, to say stop. It doesn’t matter if you have a licence.” As for the brazenly false claim that Nestlé is sucking B.C. dry, I’m indebted to a real environmental professional named Blair King for explaining this. (His blog, achemistinlangley.blogspot.ca, offers useful technical explanations of issues in the news, many of which contradict socalled environmentalists.) King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per cent of the flow through Kawkawa Lake: “If Nestlé stopped operating (and put
You’re buying the right to use the water. I know it sounds crazy to the public, but we call it a rental.
its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes. “Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest of years.” Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensationalize the current drought and forest fires. She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water. Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drinking water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythical pure source. Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Deal impacts more than farmers I think your newspaper did a good job reporting the concerns local dairy and poultry farmers have concerning potential concessions the Canadian government may make on supply managed industries in the TPP talks, and what negative effect they would have on their livelihoods. However, the reader may have the impression that the benefits of supply management and the effect of any changes to it go no further than the farm gate. When we talk about supply managed “in-
dustries” we are not just talking about farms, but the whole supply and processing chain that supports the farm; feed mills, equipment dealers, veterinarians, farm level jobs etc, but also the transportation and processing that brings these products to the grocery store. One does not have to look to hard to see the impact the dairy and poultry industries have on our local economy, besides the obvious dairy and poultry farms, the presence of these sectors is also very visible in the com-
Fine those who take our water for granted Although this may be written tongue-in-cheek, it is, however, a serious suggestion to those at city hall for one solution to solve two problems: effectively executing bylaws and creating funds for empty city coffers simultaneously. An illustrative example: water shortage vs. the selfishness of those who have basically “given the finger” in contemptuous disregard to those who have recognized the necessity of the residents’ collective drive of not unduly depleting our water supply. Many have sacrificed their beautiful lawns to the greater good. I would offer the suggestion to the bylaw officers, who have only given ineffectual warnings and letters, so save the paper and the trees for the transgressors very well knew what they were doing. Effective motivation will come readily with a stiff fine. It must be stiff, or over-the-top, for the reality to impact the brain. Payment, with no excuses for they had the option of keeping the law, must obviously be as close to immediate as possible. Although the minority will continue to trespass and also continue to bemoan the unfairness of all the fines, the City coffers will be visibly filling up. S. Greiner Abbotsford

Construction employment falls again Construction employment in Abbotsford continued to sag in June, according to the Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VCRA) figures. The number of construction jobs fell to 9,200, a decrease of 100 jobs from the previous month. It was the fifth straight month there has been a decline, although employment is
down only 0.5 per cent compared to 2014. The jobs reflect lower building permit numbers, which are down eight per cent from January to May compared to the same period last year. “The drop in building permits issued suggests construction employment will continue to decline in Abbotsford,” VCRA president Fiona Famulak said in
a press release. While yearly building permits numbers are still down from 2014, they improved significantly in May. With $22.7 million in permits issued, the value more than doubled April’s total. Residential permits accounted for the bulk of the rise and showed a 142 per cent increase from $7.8 million in April to $18.9 million in May.

River temperatures also much higher than normal Record hot Pacific Ocean temperatures that have degraded the marine food supply since the fall of 2013 are likely to hurt B.C. salmon returns not just this summer but for the next one to three years. That’s the prediction of Ian Perry, an ocean scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. He said the effects may be relatively minor this summer – with returning sockeye salmon that are only slightly thinner or smaller than usual – but worse over the next few years. That’s because the sockeye now returning experienced relatively normal temperatures when they first headed out to sea as juveniles in early 2013. Unusual weather patterns that year meant there wasn’t the normal deep mixing of ocean layers in the northeast Pacific and the surface temperatures got

steadily warmer. The water in the Gulf of Alaska was three degrees above normal by January 2014 and there were record hot temperatures last summer. The runs that will return from 2016 to 2018 will likely have faced longer exposure to hot ocean temperatures, which result in poor, less nutritious plankton for salmon to feed on, and can also bring more predator fish north to devour salmon. “The juvenile salmon coming out of the river this spring in 2015 are coming into an environment that is very different from what they’ve normally evolved to,” Perry said. “We anticipate this is going to affect their growth and their survival. And we expect there will be fewer numbers of them coming back in the next one to three years.” The sockeye that survive the ocean to make their spawning run this year will face the danger of hot river temperatures and low flows. Federal habitat research biologist David Patterson said record high water temperatures are being measured throughout the Fraser River system. He said the water is 4.5 degrees hotter than normal at Hope – an “exceptional deviation from the norm.” Hot rivers make it harder for salmon to migrate upstream, reproduce and recover from fishery capture, and make them more susceptible to disease. Although nearly seven million Fraser River sockeye are projected, large numbers could die before they spawn. El Nino conditions are expected to last at least through fall, meaning continued dry, hot weather is likely in B.C., with no short-term relief for salmon.

The owner of an Abbotsford business is using his experience and connections in the automobile repair and custom work industry to help raise funds for the Mission Youth House (MY House). Aaron Hiebert, owner of Ground Force Performance in Abbotsford, has created a modified Jeep for a raffle to support MY House. “We’ve built up this ’89 Jeep Cherokee. It started off as a stock Jeep but it has progressed significantly since then,” said Hiebert While it is still being appraised, he believes the jeep is worth at least $18,000. Among the numerous modifications, Hiebert said the Jeep has been given a fourand-a-half inch lift, 33inch tires, a 9,500-lb. winch, custom-fabricated off-road bumpers, audio system, security system, fresh transmission, and the list goes on. “I’ve always wanted to build a cool Jeep,” Hiebert said. MY House is a place at-risk youth can go for meals, laundry and shower services. There are also adults available to listen and offer advice. The building is owned by Mission Community Services Society. Tickets will be available at various automotive repair and custom shops in the area. The draw takes place in September.

Student receives award for help Kevin Eustace served as food bank volunteer Abbotsford’s Kevin Eustace has been named recipient of Envision Financial’s the Full Cupboard Volunteer Education Award for 2015.

B.C. government to review bottled water rates Drought conditions prompt online petition By Tom Fletcher Black Press
Premier Christy Clark has promised a review of rates charged for water used in bottling, after an online petition called on the government to increase the nominal rate the province will collect starting next year. Swiss conglomerate Nestlé will pay the same rate as other industrial water users for its bottled water operation near Hope, but as the largest water bottler in B.C., it has been singled out for protest as drought conditions continue across the province. An online campaign by SumOfUs. org, which calls itself a “global consumer watchdog,” has gathered more than 200,000 signatures since February, which the group planned to deliver to the Langley constituency office of Environment Minister Mary Polak this week. Polak said Tuesday the protest against Nestlé Waters has produced some misconceptions about how groundwater is regulated in B.C. “People keep saying there’s a deal with Nestlé,” Polak said. “There isn’t. They pay the same as any other industrial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from hydraulic fracturing to bottled water, those involved in mining, for example, any of those heavy industrial uses.” She warned that those demanding an increase in the rate of $2.25 per 1,000 cubic metres of water
should understand the risk that B.C. could lose control of the resource. If groundwater is treated as a commodity like oil or
minerals, the North American Free Trade Agreement would allow the U.S. to demand equal access. The charge for using
groundwater is called a water rental, to avoid any suggestion of transfer of ownership, Polak said. The rate was set in a re-
cent review of provincial water legislation, to raise $11 million a year from industrial water users to cover the admin-
istrative costs of the water licence system. Nestlé Wa t e r s says its Hope operation uses one per cent of the available
groundwater flowing through Kawkawa Lake, with no impact on the watershed in 15 years of regulated operation.

An Abbotsford couple has received an award from the Heart and Stroke Foundation for their years of dedication to the organization. Tim and Sabrina Robertson recently received the Heart of Gold Award for outstanding achievement in volunteer service.
The couple has volunteered for the foundation for the past nine years, including taking on leadership roles in the Person to Person Campaigns and the Big Bike fundraiser. They have also shared the story of their son Zachary, who was diagnosed, while still in the womb, with a congenital heart defect. He had his first closed heart surgery at two and a half months and his first open-heart surgery at nine months. Zachary is now 10 and is continuing to thrive. The Robertsons have raised more than $18,000 since first sharing their story on stage in 2006 at the Abbotsford Walk for Heart. “Tim and Sabrina are a true inspiration to all of us here at the Heart and Stroke Foundation and to all of us in B.C., and we thank them for their gift of time and passion in the fight to save lives and make health last,” said Adrienne Bakker, CEO of the B.C. and Yukon branch of the foundation.

Hatchery to update public exhibits The Pacific Salmon Foundation will provide $5,000 for a Pacific salmon project in Abbotsford. The total value of the project, including volunteer time and community fundraising, is over $78,000. The foundation’s community salmon program supports habitat stewardship, Pacific salmon enhancement and watershed education, and is funded primarily from sales of the federal government’s Salmon Conservation Stamp. The Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery Visitors Centre Renewal Project by the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC will update existing public information exhibits, with a specific focus on resident salmon species. The foundation supports community groups, volunteers and First Nations across the province. All give countless hours each year to monitor watersheds, develop and implement habitat rehabilitation projects, and educate communities about the conservation and protection of salmon. The program requires grantees to find matching funds for projects. On average, grantees raise an additional $6 for every dollar they receive through additional fundraising for donations of in-kind and money at the community level. The majority of funds for the program was generated through sales of the federal Salmon Conservation Stamp, a decal purchased annually by anglers who wish to keep Pacific salmon caught in saltwater off of Canada’s West Coast.

Baseball gold for Mortensen Abbotsford’s Jared Mortensen and the Canadian men’s baseball team grabbed the gold at the Pan Am Games on Sunday with a narrow — and peculiar — 7-6 win over the U.S. Mortensen tweeted the following day: “I will never forget this moment,” certainly because of the victory, but also possibly because of the ending to the match. Canada and the U.S. were tied at four through nine innings, forcing the teams into international baseball’s odd extra-innings system. The rules state that teams begin with runners on first and second with no outs and are able to enter into their batting order from anywhere they please. In the end, it was a botched pickoff play and subsequent throwing error to third that led Canada to their second consecutive Pan Am title, in what was a repeat of the 2011 Guadalajara Games baseball final. “Being there was overwhelming, and it was extremely emotional,” said Mortensen’s mother Karen, two days after watching her son win gold. “I am extremely proud of my son because he’s been working for this since he was three years old.” Mortensen saw the mound once through the tournament, pitching seven innings and recording the win in a preliminary round game against Colombia, and the gold-medal finish is a feather in
Jared Mortensen shows off his gold medal following Canada’s 7-6 extra-inning defeat of the United States on Sunday. SUBMITTED the cap for the Tampa Bay minor league product. Canada beat Puerto Rico in the semi-finals, 7-1 on Saturday, July 18 and finished the preliminary stage 4-1, suffering their only defeat against the U.S. in their last game before the knockout stage.
Marshall with rally-saving kick Abbotsford volleyball player Steve Marshall made highlight reels across North America Friday with an unorthodox sliding kick to save a rally for Team Canada during their opening game of the 2015 Pan Am Games indoor volleyball event. Late in the second set, with Canada up 23-16, a Canadian serve was returned by Mexico.
After a dig that sent the ball deep into Canada’s backcourt, Marshall sprung into action. Forgetting concern for injury, he slid into the advertisement boards, keeping the ball up with a left-footed boot, which then allowed a teammate to bump the ball back across the net to prolong the rally. The Canadians went on to secure the point as well as the vic-
tory, beating Mexico 3-0 in sets, with Marshall earning a point and successful spike on four attempts. Canada was sitting on top of Pool B at 2-0, having also beat Puerto Rico on Sunday, three sets to one. They faced the U.S. yesterday afternoon; Quarterfinal play kicks off today (Wednesday).

Douglas returns home with Pan Am Games gold Rugby sevens star says experience was ‘unbelievable’ Brandon KOSTINUK Abbotsford News
After securing Canada’s second consecutive Pan Am Games rugby sevens title last week, Abbotsford’s Justin Douglas has returned home with his brand new medal. “Just being in Canada and winning the gold medal was something really special,” Douglas told The News, as he sported his red Team Canada jacket. “It was unbelievable. Anywhere we were in Toronto … people were coming up and congratulating us.” Canada narrowly defeated Argentina in the gold medal contest 22-19 after a last-second try from Harry Jones pushed the men ahead. “There’s a real sense of belief in this team. We knew we had a good opportunity to win,” said Douglas, regarding those final minutes. The 21-year-old credited Argentina as the most difficult opponent faced. “The physicality they bring and just the overall relentlessness from them. They just don’t give up, in every tackle they’re out there in your face.” Douglas, who notched tries in the preliminary games against Brazil and Argentina, said he was taken by the atmosphere. “The stadium was nothing I’ve ever experienced before. I’ve been in big crowds, big stadiums, but never anything purely from a Canadian fan base,” Douglas said. The last sevens tournament he was in that was
WIN
in Canada was when he was still in Grade 11, attending Robert Bateman. “This tournament was big for us,” said Douglas. “We needed a win just to finish the season on a high.” The Canadians were coming off a disappointing loss to the U.S. last month in the finals of the NACRA Sevens Olympic qualifying tournament. Though Douglas wouldn’t call it redemption, Canada did manage to avenge that defeat by downing the Americans in the semi-finals to get to the gold medal game. The Canadian men’s team is currently on a three-week break, with their first World Rugby Sevens Series tournament happening in December, in Dubai. Douglas said the team’s focus is on the 2016 Rio Olympics as Canada has yet to qualify. “Every team is building for Olympics, everyone’s getting faster, stronger, bigger,” said Douglas. The Canadian men’s rugby sevens team returns to preseason action in August.

HAMMOND Irvin Martin
July 21, 1928 ~ June 25, 2015
Irvin was born to a large family of ten in Englehart, Ontario. He was the baby of the family. Irv was predeceased by his brothers and sisters. Irvin started his own family of four with Evelyn Hammond nee Green, as a mine worker in Ontario. When the Pronto Mine closed, early 1960’s, he moved his family to Vancouver, BC. He worked the historic BRITANNIA MINE until it’s closing in 1974. He then worked in the plywood mills until he retired. Irvin was a quiet man dedicated to his family. His leadership and strength was respected by all who knew him. His interests and hobbies rested with his family. His favourite hobby was making his wife happy and content. He was incredibly good at this. Irvin is survived by his loving wife of nearly 63 years Evelyn; his son Irv (Shelley); daughter Linda (George); and daughters Debbie and Sharron. He is adored by his grandchildren: Julie; Mitchell (Shivonne); Chelsea (Dakota); Katie (Soroush); Rick; Tyler (Jenn); Jessie (Steph); Ally; Melissa (Aaron); Micaela and Carley. Blessed and loved by his great grandchildren: Samantha; Katarina; Trinity; Shayla; Kaleb and Liam. A private affair was held by the immediate family. They would like to extend a Sincere appreciation to the TERTIARY WARD staff at ABBOTSFORD REGIONAL HOSPITAL, for their professional, care, comfort and respect they showed our Dad and our family. Interment is at Hazelwood Scatter Garden in Hazelwood Cemetery Abbotsford, BC. Please feel free to offer condolences via DIGNITY Memorial Woodlands Mission, BC at: www.dignitymemoril.ca/ woodlawn-mission-funeral In lieu of flowers, please donate, if you wish, in Dad’s name, to the Abbotsford Hospice Society or on line: abbotsfordhospice.org/donate #206 - 32555 Simon Ave. Abbotsford, BC V2T 4Y2

EMPLOYMENT/EDUCATION
TURCOTTE Marion June 5, 1935 ~ July 13, 2015 Marion (Baba) Turcotte, aged 80, passed away in Abbotsford, BC after a brief illness surrounded by her daughters. Born in Gronlid, Saskatchewan to Ann & Steven Panchyson, married Ivan Leo Turcotte in May 1955 and spent the next 27 years moving throughout Canada/US as a military wife. After Ivan retired from the military, they settled in Victoria, BC where she remained until Ivan’s passing in 1990. Marion was loved by all and made friends easily, perhaps because she was always so ready to find her way into your heart with her great Ukrainian food. Marion enjoyed spending time in Mexico each winter and bobbing around in Linda’s pool in the summer. Sunshine and flowers always made her happy. Survived by her four daughters Theresa Daniels, Dorothy Harvey, Janet (David) Galloway and Linda Turcotte; brothers Gordon (Wendy) Panchyson and Wally (Iris) Panchyson; 8 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and friends across Canada. Predeceased by her husband, Ivan (Feb. 14, 1990), grandson Dennis Mulholland (Sept. 15, 2004) and sister Agnes Shmyr (May 5, 2009). As per Marion’s wishes, there will be no service. In Marion’s words “We are all born, we all live, we all die.” Memorial donations can be made to CNIB, Canadian Diabetic Association, or the Canadian Cancer Society.
Nickel, Henry- There is much to be missed and remembered about this beloved husband of 67 years, to Agatha. A caring father to Murray (Kimberley), Ron (Dinah), Allan (Dawn), Beverley, and Jeremy (Kathryn). A precious and loving Grandpa to 17 Grandchildren and 22 Great-Grandchildren. Also left to reflect are his 2 sisters Helen and Susie whom he loved dearly and other extended family members and dear friends. He was born in Lowe Farm, Manitoba on October 27, 1924 and passed away peacefully surrounded by family on July 16, 2015 in Abbotsford, BC. Henry has left an amazing legacy of devotion, diligence and family who hold cherished memories of early morning breakfasts, endless stories, and card games…even if he always won! Young people and children always enjoyed being around him, and he was happiest when among his grandchildren, great grandchildren and countless others who adopted Henry as their own “Dad”. In 1956 Henry founded Nickel Bros., a well-respected family driven structural moving business still thriving today throughout BC and WA State.
All 5 of Henrys children and 13 grandchildren have worked in the family business along with many other family and friends through the 60 years of business. Henry’s life of hard work and helping people in need had still left a void in his heart until in 1982 at the age of 58 he gave his life over to Jesus, his savior. Henry repented of his sins, was baptized by immersion in Jesus Name and a week later filled with the Holy Spirit speaking in other tongues! Henry walked with the Lord on earth for 32 years until his final breaths on July 16th at 1:15 PM when he began his walk with Jesus in person. Henry is predeceased by his son-in-law Gary MacDonald (husband of Beverley and father of Luke) and 6 of his siblings. Henry will forever be remembered for his generosity, work ethic, and wonderful sense of humor… “No peas…Doctors orders…” All are invited to attend Abbotsford Evangelical Free Church at 33218 Marshall Rd, Abbotsford, BC for a public visitation at 10:00 AM, July 25th, 2015 with a service being held to commemorate his life at 11:00 AM, followed by a graveside committal at Maclure Road Mennonite Cemetery at 1:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Henry are encouraged to Canuck Place Children’s Hospice in Abbotsford or the Dogwood Valley Camp. “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me Heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14
