Hundreds of motorcyclists are expected to roll through Mission, Chilliwack and Abbotsford this Sunday for the 29th annual Fraser Valley Toy Run, but organizers say increased demands by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation are jeopardizing the future of the event. Every year, motorcyclists gather in Mission and Chilliwack, and ride to Abbotsford bearing more than 1,000 gifts for children in need. Last year, around 1,500 toys were collected, and a further $20,000 was donated to Christmas organizations in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, Agassiz and Hope. But in recent years, the toy run has seen costs increase, and organizers have had to contract a private company to handle traffic control, which was once handled by volunteers, at a cost of more than $2,000. This year, because of increased demands by the Ministry of Transportation, that total is slated to double, according to Barney Hopkins, who co-founded the event. Hopkins said the ministry is requiring the private company – rather than the Mission RCMP – to guide bikers through the intersection of Highways 7 and 11 as riders depart Mission. Every intersection must also now be controlled by a professional, rather Continued on A3

Number of ‘vulnerable’ children entering school on the rise Increase related to lack of core ‘emotional and social competencies’ Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

More than one-third of children enter school in Abbotsford with some sort of vulnerability, according to a report presented to school board trustees last week. At 35 per cent, that rate puts Abbotsford near the British Columbia average, which has risen by seven percentage points since 2009. Kindergarten teachers assess incoming children over several months to determine whether they have the physical, emotional and communication skills to participate in class. Cindy Romanowski, the district principal for early learning, said Abbotsford’s

increase in vulnerable students seems to be mainly associated with children entering school lacking core “emotional and social competencies.” Even before the data came back, Romanowski said “teachers were already telling us they were getting children who weren’t able to self-regulate themselves.” To help such kids, teachers have been using “calm kits” – developed with assistance by the Fraser Valley Child Development Centre – to teach young students skills and tricks to calm themselves down and maintain their composure. While the root of the issues can’t be known for sure, Romanowski said

more parents seem to be experiencing employment issues and other financial problems and stresses. Romanowski said the district has been proactive to help its most vulnerable children. She pointed to the subsidizing of 10 per cent of the 600 children who attend on-site preschools through the school district, as well as the creation of a new Early Years Centre at Sweeney Neighbourhood Learning Centre. That facility, the first in Abbotsford, aims to provide parents of young children with assistance and support in a range of services. “We really hope we’ll start to see those changes in vulnerabilities as we provide more and more support to our families.”

QUALITY

Abbotsford News

After four years of gradual increases, the number of children attending StrongStart programs for pre-kindergarten students rose significantly last year, school board trustees were recently told. And with some of the district’s 12 StrongStart sites having to turn parents and children away because of occupancy regulations last year, administrators hope the Ministry of Education will step up with more funding. A total of 1,212 children attended the free StrongStart programs last year. That’s a 15

per cent jump from the 2013-14 school year, when 1,049 children attended programs. Cindy Romanowski, the district principal for early learning, attributed the local increase in attendance to word of mouth among parents, as well as more awareness about the benefits of early years learning. As demand has grown over the years, the district has added more sites – 10 of which are funded by the province, and two of which are district-funded. An array of research shows pre-kindergarten schooling is a significant predictor of success both in school and later

in life. The district itself is tracking the cohort of students who entered StrongStart in 2009. Data presented to the board shows that cohort has consistently outperformed, as a whole, those who didn’t attend StrongStart in reading, writing and numeracy. Romanowski said there were occasions last year when sites filled up. Now, she is hoping the district can get more money to expand the programming. Abbotsford isn’t alone in its need. “The ministry is seeing that throughout the province, so we’re not the only district that is finding this.”

than volunteers, and a detailed traffic plan through all three communities is now required. “The costs are getting worse and I don’t know how long we are going to keep this toy run going for because everything’s getting so expensive,” Hopkins said. Participants raise funds

throughout the year with bottle drives, bake sales and raffles. But the mounting expenses are taking its toll. “It’s getting more and more expensive for what is needed and what is required. Every year something new comes up that we have to struggle with,” organizer Rhonda Santini said. “It’s stressful and ongoing and it keeps taking more and more

away from the kids and riders.” She said riders want to be safe, but that the volunteer-driven approach had been working fine with only slightly fewer bikes taking part. Despite the hurdles, organizers are expecting a good turnout on Sunday, Oct. 18 thanks to a decent weather forecast. Between 700 and 800 bikers are expected to participate. Two

separate groups of riders will depart from the parking lot of Value Village in Mission at 9:45 a.m., and from the Sears parking lot in Chilliwack at 9:30 a.m.. They will join up at the Fraser Valley Auto Mall, and arrive at the Ag-Rec Building shortly after 10 a.m. Everyone is invited to stop by the Ag-Rec building, watch the bikes arrive and donate an unwrapped toy.

It’s the little things that make a BIG difference . . .

Gang-linked shootings in Abby and Surrey spur party platforms Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Innocent victims slain over the past year in Surrey and Abbotsford, along with dozens of gang-linked shootings, have made crime a hot topic in the federal election campaign. All three major parties have promised to add more police to fight gang crime, including Liberal and NDP vows to immediately deploy 100 more Mounties in Surrey. But the Conservatives continue to project themselves as toughest on crime. Leader Stephen Harper has vowed to reintroduce a lapsed “life means life” bill to take away any chance at parole for the worst murderers. It comes on top of earlier reforms, like the stacking of parole eligibility periods so a quadruple murderer can now be made to wait 100 years for a chance at getting out. Other key changes have reduced the scope to use house arrest rather than jail, and reduced parole leniency for non-violent offenders. But the Harper crime agenda has been reined in by the courts, which have limited government attempts to impose

more minimum sentences, most notably striking down mandatory three-year terms for gun crimes. The government also tried to erase the practice of granting double credit for remand time served in jail before trial, but the Supreme Court of Canada has allowed judges to continue to grant 1.5 days credit for each day served. “The Supreme Court’s decisions have hobbled, or at the very least bridled, the Conservatives’ law-and-order agenda,” SFU criminologist Rob Gordon said. He warns the lock-em-uplonger approach threatens to cost Canada billions of dollars more to imprison convicts, as well as more protracted fights in the courts that will mainly benefit constitutional lawyers. One of the Conservative campaign promises is to create a list of gangs to make prosecuting members easier without first having to prove in each case that the group is a criminal organization. Gordon doubts it will work

because, in the case of the Hells Angels, not every member of the gang is involved in serious organized crime. Other new Tory promises pledge two-year minimum sentences for fraudsters with multiple victims unless there’s full restitution, and easing the burden of evidence in prosecuting drunk drivers, although it’s unclear whether that would reverse B.C.’s recent shift from impaired prosecutions to roadside penalties. Despite the intense spotlight on warring gangs, criminologists like Gordon point out crime rates have actually been declining for decades. What would work to further cut crime? Gordon lists marijuana reform and an end to the Lower Mainland’s patchwork system of RCMP and municipal police jurisdictions. Advocates have repeatedly called for more wraparound services to help intercept and rehabilitate prolific offenders,

as well as better addiction treatment, education, gang prevention initiatives, and anti-poverty measures Gordon said such social policy strategies hold promise, but don’t resonate with voters as well as hawkish rhetoric, and politicians who propose them may be denounced as soft on crime. The NDP would decriminalize marijuana, while the Liberals and Greens would legalize it and tax it. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has said he may repeal some mandatory minimums on sentencing, which he said should be reserved for serious and violent offences. Liberals have pledged to tighten access to handguns and restricted firearms, and devote $100 million a year to anti-gang task forces to target gun and gang violence. The NDP have said they’d strive to emphasize rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners. Leader Tom Mulcair has also pledged $250 million for a police recruitment fund and to invest $40 million to reverse cuts to shelters for women fleeing violence.

Charged for gas station car theft

Growing medical pot YOU ARE GOING on farmland OK’ d TO VEGAS!!!

An Alberta man who allegedly stole a car from an Abbotsford gas station and then immediately crashed into another vehicle on Sept. 14 has been charged. Julian Conrad Morris, 26, has been charged with dangerous driving causing bodily harm and theft of a motor vehicle. He has been in custody since his arrest that day and was next slated to appear in Abbotsford provincial court yesterday. The incident began at about 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 14 at the Shell gas station at McCallum and Marshall roads. Police said a woman had left her vehicle running as she went to pay for her gas. A man then jumped into the car and drove off, immediately crashing into an SUV as he entered the intersection. Both vehicles then crashed into a retaining wall at the business across the street, and both drivers were taken to hospital for the treatment of minor injuries.

Abbotsford News

Growing medical marijuana on farmland in Abbotsford has been approved by council. The move brings the city in line with a provincial government announcement this May, which allows medical marijuana to be grown on the Agricultural Land Reserve – provincially regulated farmland. Five bylaws were amended, including zoning, business licences, buildings, enforcement and municipal ticketing. The changes were approved unanimously without much

debate, after Mayor Henry Braun explained the provincial requirement and strict Health Canada licensing rules for growers. People growing medical marijuana have to go through a strict federal background check, and are limited in how many plants they can grow. Coun. Moe Gill asked whether medical marijuana growers in Abbotsford would be able to sell their product at roadside stands, but the only Health Canada-approved method for distributing medical marijuana is sending it directly to patients by mail order.

‘Crime is Toast’ fundraiser The Abbotsford Police Foundation (APF) hosts the first “Crime is Toast” fundraiser on Wednesday, Oct. 28. The event with Police Chief Bob Rich runs from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. at the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre. The foundation has set a goal to raise $40,000 this year to help fight property crime in the community. The funds will go to equipment, technology and programs. The Abbotsford Police

Department (APD) cannot directly receive donations; however, the APF is a trusted, practical way to support the police and public safety, Rich said. To purchase tickets and for information on sponsorship opportunities, visit the APF website at abbypf.ca. Since its inception in 2005, the APF has been quietly helping provide a wide range of much needed community policing and outreach assistance not covered by the annual operating budget of the APD.

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I WEDNESDAY, October 14, 2015

Be informed, then vote With less than a week to go till the federal election, there’s little time left for voters – and we seriously hope they’ve done so already – to give some serious thought to who they want to lead the country forward for the next four years. The local scene has changed this year, with the creation of a new riding called Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon that covers a vast area, including a portion of Abbotsford. There is no incumbent, of course, so that makes the task of learning about the candidates and their platforms even more important. This issue of The News carries profiles on each of the six hopefuls. Last Friday, we featured the five candidates in the familiar Abbotsford riding, and all of that information, along with related local stories, is available at abbynews.com. There are numerous ways to become additionally informed, including a selection of regional and national media coverage, reading candidate websites or visiting

their offices, or asking questions by phone and email. What will these candidates do for the community should they win a seat on Oct. 19? How knowledgeable are they on issues that matter? How strongly will they make our community’s voice heard in Ottawa? Which of them best represents what you see as the best direction, locally and nationally? The bottom line is this: Oct. 19 isn’t just another day. It will determine the country’s path forward for a significant length of time – a term in which much can happen, both positive and negative. No doubt, there will be those unhappy with some or all of the decisions of those who are elected to effect change or stay the course. Many are unhappy with the electoral process altogether and have a jaundiced view of all politicians, regardless of party affiliations. The reality is that those who don’t vote will have no right to complain.

Step up to support food bank With regard to the article on the dire situation at the food bank, an idea springs to mind. Abbotsford has a population of over 100,00 people. That’s approximately 20,000 families, or to put it another way, 20,000 people who are going to pop into a grocery story at some point every week. And every grocery store has a food bank bin. I just wonder how much of a hardship it would be to pick up, each week, one item. Rice, peanut butter, pasta

and sauce, cereals, flour and sugar, baby food. How much of a strain would it be to add the $2 to $5 to the bill? That’s a cup of coffee when you’re out, or a stop at the convenience store for a pop and some chips. The end result would be 20,000 items to the food bank each week, 80,000 per month. I believe the people of Abbotsford want to help, and this would be a simple and effective solution. Michelle Pahl

Seniors need help more than farmers In 2012 the Conservative government enacted legislation to increase the Old Age Security pension qualifying age from 65 to 67 years by 2029. The annual savings from reducing OAS payments is estimated to be $4 billion. The government also recently announced that dairy and poultry farmers will receive compensation for of $4.3 billion because of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement.

Many retirees use the OAS to pay for food and lights and live off an income of $54,000 per year. Stats Canada indicates the average dairy farm is worth in excess of $3.5 million. It is truly sad that the Conservatives are taking money from the elderly who built this country and its economy, and for political reasons giving it to those worth millions. Brian Freisen

Voting is our right and responsibility

7240158

I am continually saddened and surprised when I encounter someone who states that they have no intention of voting. Some say that they have never voted and don’t see the point. I understand that there is some disillusionment and

even apathy with some voters but it is foolish to give up this right, this responsibility, and this power we have as voting citizens. Politicians make decisions, sign contracts, make laws, and spend our money. The least we should do is help decide

which ones will get to do this. I have such strong feelings about this issue that I have had signs made for my lawn that remind my neighbours and passing motorists to vote on Oct. 19. It’s our right and our responsibility! Michelle L. Gauthier

THE CANDIDATES

Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon Dennis Adamson: NDP For the past seven years, Dennis Adamson has dove head first into the local political field as the Fraser Valley Regional District’s Area B director. And Adamson, who is representing the NDP, now believes he’s ready to take the next step and represent the area on the federal level. “At the local government level I’m limited to the number of people I can help,” he said. “At the federal level it would expand my ability to help more people and that’s exactly what I want to do.” He said his seven years as director gives him an advantage over his opponents in the federal election.

“I’m aware of the local issues and I’ve already made useful connections with other politicians and stakeholders in the community and those connections would help ADAMSON me solve other people’s problems,” he said. “I’ve been able to resolve difficult issues for my constituents because I think outside the box.” Adamson pointed to a recent school shutdown in Yale that he helped transform into a community centre as an example of his creative ideas. He said the biggest issues in the riding are good-paying local jobs, healthcare and the protection of the environment.

Art Green: Green Party Arthur Green was born in Mission, at the current hospital, back in 1955. His family is from Agassiz. His great-grandfather settled there in the mid-1800s. After graduating from Agassiz High School in 1973 on an academic-technical program, he became a dispatcher for the BC Forest Service, at Ranger District 3, in Harrison Hot Springs, where he received a vast amount of office training. It was in 2013, after being with the NDP, that he moved to the Greens. It was an easy transition. Green believes there are many local issues that need to be addressed in the new riding. “Personally, I think economy-wise, I think what we really need to tie the valley together and to get it to start to boom again is a transportation system.”

He wants to work on a proposal to get the old BC Railway going as a commuter rail between Chilliwack and Langley. From there, it can tie into the new Langley-to-Surrey GREEN line being proposed. “There’s also that rail line that runs between Abbotsford and Mission and we could tie into the West Coast Express as well.” Green said it would tie the whole Fraser Valley together. Another issue close to his heart is the Fraser River. “All these open-net fish farms on the coast are destroying our salmon stocks. You can talk to any fisherman up and down the Fraser River, all the salmon have sea lice and we believe that’s what it’s caused from, because they are actually

Wyatt Scott: Independent Wyatt Scott is a local business owner and community leader. He is president-elect of the Rotary Sunrise Club in Mission and is with the Optimist Club as well as being a member of various local boards. The 38-year-old was born in Red Deer, Alta., and moved to Prince George when he was 14. He came to the Fraser Valley about a decade ago. Scott thinks the economy is always on the top of any list of election issues. “The economy is very important. Environment is also a huge issue in the Valley and in the Canyon. The Fraser

River is a lifeline for all of us.” He said the river plays a huge financial role and, for many people, a spiritual role as well. SCOTT “There are 25 different bands within our federal riding and the logistics of it, just the sheer size of it, it creates all sorts of challenges.” Federally, he said “the right” is pushing the economy. “Economy plays such an important role in any nation on the planet and I personally think that our economy could get so much stronger if we started to diversify a bit more

“The NDP will create 40,000 training and apprentice opportunities for young people,” he said. “We’re also trying to kickstart the manufacturing sector and make investments in public transit. Environmentally, big polluters should pay for the cost of their pollution, and we would invest in renewable energy.” Adamson said infrastructure is another big issue in the riding. “The Harper government has let us down in that way,” he said. “We need to invest public money back into it. It puts people back to work and gets money floating around in the economy.” He said people want a new energy in Ottawa and the NDP can provide that. “People just aren’t happy with the current government,” he said. “Whenever I do door knocking it’s always one thing or another. It’s time for a change and I think people want change.” farming Atlantic salmon in the Pacific Ocean. “Between that and climate change, our Fraser River sockeye is in jeopardy.” On a national level, Green said the money being used to subsidize the oil sands should be moved and invested in clean, renewable energy. “There are actually already more jobs in the clean and renewable energy sector – like building windmills and solar panels and that sort of stuff – than there are in the tar sands and the oil patch now.” He believes tens of thousands of jobs could be created. “We believe we could create the greatest economic catalyst that the country has ever seen.” The new riding of Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon is huge and Green believes it will be difficult for one man to represent the whole area. “One man can’t do it. You would need two assistants to do it.” If elected, Green would have an office in Mission, but would also run satellite offices in other areas, including Lillooet. and focus on the green sector. Ultimately, that’s where we are going to end up.” As an independent, Scott said he faces a different set of challenges and opportunities than other candidates. “I have my own ideologies and that’s what I’m promoting at this time. I always let people know that I have conservative, I have liberal, I have socialist ideologies. I think I’m well-rounded on the political spectrum and I personally feel as though our country will be heading in a new direction over the next couple of decades.” Scott said people have seen all sorts of different democracies come to fruition, bringing forward new democratic processes. “I personally stand behind direct democracy,” he said, Continued on A16

Jati Sidhu: Liberal For over 30 years, Jati Sidhu has lived, worked and raised his family in the Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon area and now wants to represent the brand new riding in 2015. Sidhu built a thriving farming business in the area in the 1970s and then expanded into local construction in the mid-1980s. His community involvement is varied and expansive over his time in the area, serving as a founding member of the Fraser Valley Indo-Canadian Business Association, a board member of Character Abbotsford, and work with the Abbotsford Hospice Society, the Abbotsford Police Board and the University of Fraser Valley board of governors. He said giving back to the community helps drive him.

“Volunteer service is in my blood,” he said. “I have passion dealing with people and doing something better for the community. This area and country was good SIDHU to my family and children and I have the drive to serve it.” Sidhu pointed to that community involvement and dedication as his biggest strengths as a candidate. “It gives me satisfaction if I can make a difference in our community,” he said. “To be able to grow my family up in this area has been amazing and I want them to have the same opportunities I had.” Politics are not new to Sidhu. He ran federally in the Dewdney-Alouette riding in the year 2000 and has par-

Brad Vis: Conservative Brad Vis was born and raised in Matsqui, now Abbotsford, and graduated from Robert Bateman Secondary School. He attended the University of the Fraser Valley before completing a bachelor’s degree from UBC and a master’s from Carleton University, specializing in parliamentary decision making. He worked on Parliament Hill for several years, and eventually worked at the Department of Foreign Affairs, under Ed Fast, as an adviser in international trade. Vis said he wants to champion people with disabilities, as a member of parliament, and he also wants to champion the agricultural sector. “There are endless opportunities to develop our agricultural resources and develop secondary food products and manufactured products. And I think there is going to be a lot of economic opportunity for people in the riding if we focus on those things,” he said. Throughout the campaign, Vis said he has spent time

knocking on doors and what he hears more than anything else is that families want to make sure the government is using their taxpayers’ dollars VIS wisely. He said they recognize that the government has done a lot to support Canadian families. “Since 2006, the average Canadian family has about $6,000 more in their pocket through different tax breaks and tax reductions and direct benefits.” Support for seniors is another key local issue that Vis said people ask him about. “We’ve taken hundreds of thousands of low-income seniors off the tax payroll all together. That’s been a really big accomplishment of the Conservative Party that often goes unnoticed.” Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon has the third largest proportion of seniors in the country.

Elaine Wismer: Marxist-Leninist Elaine Wismer has lived in Yale for the past 12 years and was involved with the historical society for 10 years, volunteering at the museum. Born in Vancouver, she lived in many areas of the Fraser Valley before coming to Yale. This is the third time she has run for the Marxist-Leninist party. She first ran in 1980 and again in 1997. “I would say that the most important issue is democracy itself and who decides what the outcome is going to be of every decision, whether a decision is made with an outcome that favours the people or the monopolies and other large financial institutions and wealthy enterprises,” she said.

Wismer said there is “something about this election campaign that has felt all wrong” to her and it has to do with political structure. “There are two candidates – one for the Liberals and one for the WISMER Conservatives – who I would characterize as candidates representing monopoly right, and the right of wealthy enterprises, just as they have from the days of John A. MacDonald.” She characterizes the other four candidates in the new riding, including herself, as people’s candidates in the sense that they share many common views. “They have faith in the people as a force for change and

ticipated in municipal elections in the past. He said he’s been a Liberal since 1994 and that he’s proud to represent that party. “Equality, fairness and openness are the policies I believe, and the Liberal Party believes in, for all Canadians,” he said. “We have a strong leader (Justin Trudeau) who wants to serve the country from the heart. This country needs a change and strong leadership.” Sidhu said the biggest issues in the riding are agricultural and economic growth. “I’d really like to boost agricultural growth in the area and give farmers all the tools they need,” he said. “We need to level the playing field with American producers and whatever they use we should be able to use too. We also need to build up our bridges, roads, schools and hospitals – look at the Dewdney bridge that crumbled the other day.” He said his experience and passion for the community makes him the right choice on Oct. 19. “Income splitting for seniors has saved a lot of money for seniors in the community and I’ve also heard a lot of people very pleased to know that we will now have a single senior tax credit,” he said. According to Vis, the current government has made record investments in health and social transfers. Since 2006, health transfers to the provinces have increased from $20 billion to $34 billion – an increase of 70 per cent. By the end of the decade, health transfers will reach $40 billion, he said. Fraser River management is another local issue that is a concern to Vis. He’s looking forward to working with stakeholders to address some of the concerns related to flood management, protection and dike infrastructure. The challenges of serving the new riding are evident, according to Vis. “Most of the population lives within Abbotsford and Mission and I understand that. That said, people in the Fraser Canyon also need access to their member of parliament. So, I have committed to people in the rural regions to make regular, scheduled visits throughout the year.” for building Canada.” She said the problem with the political structure is only one of these people can be elected. “But all of those people could continue to contribute and are needed in a riding as large as this one.” She said it’s clear that people from different areas of the riding want to elect someone they know and trust and has been involved in their particular area. Many of the candidates are unknown to many of the voters. She believes change is needed. “The people should be part of the decision- making process itself and actually be able to vote on the issues as they come up in the future. A solution to the problem, I would say, is a change in the political structure that perhaps there could be a council for the whole riding in which someone is elected from the various different communities to deal with federal matters.”

especially in an age of technology. He said he was “shocked” that Canada is still using paper ballots, when voting should be done electronically. He said more voters would take part if voting took place online. As for the campaign, Scott said he’s thrilled to offer a different kind of a choice to voters. “I love Mission. I love the surrounding area. I think we are very fortunate to live where we do, when we do as well.” The sheer size of the new riding makes representing the population a challenge. But it’s not just about time and distance. “Even the economics of it. In the north you have the orchards, you have cattle ranchers. And then down here we have quarries. There are so many different industries within the riding.” He said he’s thrilled to offer voters a different choice than the parties. Every day he hears promises of change from the major candidates. “I always tell people that real change will never come from a political party. True change comes from each of us.”

Carnival of the Animals performed Abbotsford Youth Orchestra concert Oct. 17 The Abbotsford Youth Orchestra (AYO), directed by Calvin Dyck, presents the Carnival of Animals with 14 pianists from the Fraser Valley on Saturday, Oct. 17. The concert starts at 7 p.m. at Bakerview Church, 2285 Clearbrook Rd. Carnival of the Animals is a musical suite of 14 movements by French romantic composer Camille Saint-Saens, who regarded the work as a piece of fun. He wrote musical jokes into the piece, including a very slow Can-Can for the turtle, and he poked fun at pianists by having them play a series of scale exercises. Perhaps the best known movement from the Carnival is The Swan, written for solo cello and piano. While Saint-Saens intended the suite to be played by two pianists, this performance will feature a variety of student pianists from Chilliwack, Mission and Abbotsford. Betty Suderman and Carmen Hollett will be featured in a piano duet playing The Queen of Sheba. The orchestra will be joined by percussionist Jillana Rathjen on xylophone, Bernard Blary on flute, and Christopher Lee, a graduate of the Juilliard School in New York, on clarinet. Tickets for the concert are available at House of James or King’s Music. They are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors and $10 for students, plus applicable tax and fees.

The Rotary Club of Abbotsford presented five community charities with funding to help support their local programs. A few weeks ago the Abbotsford Hospice received $29,000 for Holmberg House from the club thanks to the Rotary Club’s successful Million Dollar Holein-One event held this past June. Fundraising dollars have now been given back to the community with thanks to the sponsors, donors, volunteers and participants who support the Hole-in-One event. The Abbotsford Youth Commission received $1,350 to fund their “The Integrity Project (TIPS)” that provides the opportunity for youth to explore what it means to live with integrity through youth-led and -driven projects. The Cyrus Centre got $3,800 to purchase a new washing machine and dryer for Babich House and a 10 x 10 tent to assist them with fundraising and social events. The Reach Gallery Museum received $2,000 to develop interactive and fun arts and heritage learning kits for children, youth and families, including adults with disabilities. The Raven’s Moon Resource Society received $1,000 to purchase computer peripherals and software to support residents to increase computer skills, access the internet and create resumes. The Salvation Army’s Centre of Hope received $5,000 to help refurbish water-damaged independent units rendered uninhabitable after significant plumbing issues.

for those in need

Every day at The Salvation Army we offer hope, compassion and practical support to those individuals who come to us for assistance in the midst of life’s most challenging circumstances. The Centre of Hope accommodates a 25-bed Adult Shelter, in addition to a Meal Centre that serves in excess of 11,000 nutritious meals monthly. It is also the location of Pantry34, a nutritious snack and beverage program currently operating in 19 Abbotsford schools. In an effort to serve our people most effectively, we strive to identify gaps in services, and to remove the barriers that stand in the way of them gaining access to the vital resources they need. Some of our services include Outreach and

Family Services, Adult Day Respite, nursing support, 14 units of Supportive Independent Living Suites for men, and many other types of assistance. Since 2014, we are also a pet-friendly model of Shelter, enabling those with pets an option for shelter that doesn’t require them parting with their animal companion, sometimes the only connection they have with another living being. We want to provide an opportunity for you to learn more about how we are working tirelessly in our community on behalf of those who have no home. For more information or a potential tour of the facilities, please contact The Centre of Hope at 604-852-9305.

Donated ‘CuddleCots’ help families facing stillbirth Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News

They’re six small cooling pads, and for families grieving from a stillbirth, they can make a huge difference. These “CuddleCots”

give families more time to say goodbye, as a stillborn baby can stay in the birthing room in a cooled bassinet for up to 48 hours. Six CuddleCots arrived in Abbotsford on Oct. 6, funded by

Thank you to our sponsors for their generous support!

$13,000 in donations collected by a group of local mothers. Annet Janssen, whose seventh child was stillborn at Abbotsford Regional Hospital, started the fundraiser. When they learned their daughter wouldn’t live, they asked whether the hospital had any of the cooling devices, and hospital staff said they’d never heard of them. Janssen and six other Abbotsford mothers then launched a fundraising campaign to bring CuddleCots to local hospitals, so they’d be available for other families in similarly heart-wrenching situations. They raised money primarily through auctioning donated items on Facebook. They reached their initial goal of $13,000 in July, which allowed them to buy six CuddleCots: two for Abbotsford, one for Chilliwack, one for Langley, one for New Westminster

and one for Surrey. They were delivered to Abbotsford Regional Hospital, and will soon be sent on to their destinations. “It feels amazing for all of us, and for me especially, I guess, because I lost my daughter last year,” Janssen said. “I’m very glad this (is) now available for families who experience (stillbirth). They will be able to take longer to say goodbye than we (could) with our little Reyanna.” She’s now hoping to raise $12,000 more, to buy more CuddleCots: one each for both Surrey and New Westminster, and pads for Ridge Meadows and White Rock. She appreciates the help of all the donors to the project. “We’re very, very thankful for everybody helping out,” she said. “There are so many people helping it out to make it work. We couldn’t do it if it was just the seven of us.”

Two concerts in coffee house series

Jam session

The Fraser Valley Blues Society holds its monthly jam session on Friday, Oct. 16 at the Eagles Lounge, 33868 Essendene Ave. There is no cover charge for this event, and all musicians and music listeners are invited. James

Thorhaug and Friends are the host band. Backline is provided so musicians need to only bring their instruments. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., and the jam starts at 8 p.m at the licensed venue. For more information, visit fraservalleyblues.com

Both on Oct. 17 at House of James A double concert takes place on Saturday, Oct. 17 as part of the Envision Financial Coffee House Series. The event takes place at House of James (2743 Emerson St.) and starts at 6 p.m. with the bluesy and eclectic Norine Braun Band. Delivering grit and sensitivity in her musical landscapes, Braun won a Canada Council for the Arts Award in 2014 among other distinctions, and has produced nine albums so far in her career. At 7:30 p.m., the alternative band Rae Dawn @ the Eco Systems will bring their jazzy folk and gospel crossover. Rae Dawn and her backup performers Keith and Richard came together through open mikes, farmers’ markets, and the local church and coffee house scene before joining the Envision series. For more information about the series, including the full concert schedule, visit abbotsfordartscouncil.org.

Author on hand to sign new books House of James hosts a book signing on Saturday, Oct. 17 for two new books by Abbotsford author James R. Coggins. Springtime in Winnipeg is Coggins’ fourth John Smyth Mystery. It features John Smyth, a diminutive editor living in Winnipeg who solves murder mysteries in his spare time. The character is loosely based on Coggins himself, who spent seven years working as a magazine editor in Winnipeg, a period he remembers as “the coldest winter of my life.” The second book, 1995: Je me souviens, is a political novel. In it, narrator Jean Tonnerre looks back 20 years to the 1995 referendum which almost separated Quebec from Canada. But in his version, Quebeckers do vote to leave Canada. Coggins says the book allowed him to look at “what conditions and actions could have made it possible for the separatists to win that vote and what could have followed as a result.” Both books have been published by Coggins’ own Mill Lake Books, which has published six books in the past two years. The book signing runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the House of James bookstore, 2743 Emerson Rd.

Pilots beat Sockeyes

FREE COMMUNITY EVENT

Abbotsford ends two- game losing streak Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News

The two-g ame losing slide of the Abbotsford Pilots came to an abrupt end at the MSA Arena on Friday. Abbotsford welcomed the Richmond Pilots and special teams helped lead the Pilots to a 3-2 win. The Pilots went two for four with the man advantage, scoring power play goals in the second and third periods to earn the win. Abbotsford fell behind early, with the Sockeyes scoring just 68 seconds into the opening frame. The Pilots drew even five minutes later when Philip Gauthier scored, but the Sockeyes re-took the lead just before the end of the first on a power play goal. Alexander Methorst tied the game up again after scoring with the man advantage, and the Pilots pulled ahead for good with less than three minutes to go when Kellan Lavallee potted the game winner. Abbotsford’s Devin Becker drew assists on both goals and was named the game’s third star. Goalie Jacob Crawford made 29 saves to earn the win and was named the second star, while Lavallee was named first star. The win helped soften the blow of the Pilots’ 4-2 loss to the Aldergrove Kodiaks on the road Oct. 7. Sean Olson and Justin Wilde scored for the Pilots. Abbotsford now sits in third place in the Harold Brittain

Conference, with a record of five wins, four losses and one overtime loss. Abbotsford travels to Richmond to battle the Sockeyes on Thursday and then play the Ridge Meadows Flames away from home on Friday. The team then spends the rest of the weekend at its annual fishing derby. The 16th annual Gary Graber and Richard Newton Memorial Fishing Derby runs on Oct. 17 and 18 at Tamihi Campground on the Vedder River. The event honours former Pilots player Gary Graber and longtime Pilots volunteer Richard Newton. For more information on the derby, visit abbotsfordpilots. com.

It wasn’t pretty, but the Abbotsford Panthers will take it. They kicked off the AA regular football season in Mission on Saturday and hung on for a 24-21 win in rainy conditions. Abbotsford was on fire in the first quarter, compiling a 17-0 lead, but Mission battled back to finish the first half down 17-14. The teams battled for field position for most of the second half, with each scoring only one major, and the Panthers’ defence locking down. Head coach Jay Fujimura said, “Today was an ugly game and we made a lot of mistakes, but we were able to sort out our issues defensively in the second half.” Panthers wide receiver Reese Morrison had a strong game, scoring the team’s first touchdown and making a key catch on fourth and 20 to extend the game’s eventual winning drive. Chase Claypool scored the Panthers’ second touchdown and was a constant threat offensively. Mission was led by Joeda Cannon, who scored all three touchdowns for the Roadrunners. Cannon, who regularly plays running back, was thrust into the quarterback position after the team’s regular quarterback was sick. Fujimura said his team got its act together, especially on defence, in the second half. “I told them we need to have a sense of ur-

gency,” he said of the team’s half-time talk. “I thought we were good enough in the second half to win this game, but I think in the first half they were playing like they thought they were going to win easily and that should never be the case.” He said he liked the play of Morrison, and defensively he was impressed with Mike Sabourin, who made several key stops in the fourth quarter. “We’re getting better and progressing, but there’s still lots of work to be done,” he said. Next up for the Panthers is the club’s home opener on Friday at 7 p.m. against Pitt Meadows. In other AA action, the Robert Bateman Timberwolves opened the season on Friday with a 21-14 loss to G.W. Graham. Anthony Bodger scored on a kick-off return and Tyson Gibson caught the Wolves’ two touchdowns. Bateman next hosts Mission on Friday at 3:30 p.m. Also on Friday, the Rick Hansen Hurricanes were blanked 40-0 at home by Pitt Meadows. In AAA action on Saturday, the W.J. Mouat Hawks traveled to Kelowna and came up short, losing 33-14 to the Owls. Nelson Lokombo and Dion Pellerin scored the majors in the loss for the Hawks. Mouat falls to zero wins and two losses on the season after the setback. The Hawks next host Centennial on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Home 604-854-5534

April 3, 1920 - September 30, 2015

I did it! I said I would live to be 95. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Live life to the fullest, love all Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creatures, laugh every day.â&#x20AC;? I was born at home on April 3,1920 in Coldwell Municipality, Manitoba to Tom V. and M. Lillie (Clegg) Thompson (predeceased). Also predeceased by sister Sybil, brothers Dave, Ben, Les and Bill. At age 18 I married my childhood sweetheart, Charles W. Fussey whom I met at age 5, he was 10. We celebrated our 65th anniversary in 2003 before his passing in 2005. Our marriage first took us to Trail, B.C. then to Abbotsford, living there for the remainder of our lives. I was blessed with two children; Tom (Laura) Meadow Creek, B.C. and Barbara (Dave) Gazso of Bradner, B.C. They in turn gave me my most cherished possessions, grandchildren: TomLeanne (John) Mantha, Tomas, Megan(Jere) Prout, Lindsay and 5 great granddaughters - Lauren, Sierra, Abia, Kali and Lacey. Barbara - Lee (Christine), Amber (Mike) Windle and 3 great granddaughters- Sydney, Coco and Macartney. I was a charter member of the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auxilary to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 15 for 65 years. Also a member of the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auxilary with St. Matthewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church. My passion was bowling, belonging to various leagues for 45 years. As an original member of the MSA Riding club I volunteered at many events my daughter participated in with the club. When my granddaughter Amber also became involved with horses, I seldom missed a show and attended the PNE 4-H week with the Mt. Lehman 4-H horse club as their token Grandma. I especially loved attending the Bradner softball games when my grandson Lee was playing. I would like to extend a heartful thank you to the wonderful dedicated staff at Bevan Village where I happily have spent my last years. My family will be celebrating this glorious life next summer when they all can be in attendance. Please remember me by donating to B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital.
