five-year capital plan
MAN’S BODY DISCOVERED
Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford school district’s new capital plan includes more than $50 million of upgrades and new schools over the next five years – with the hope that funding will materialize from the provincial government. The plan includes a new Eagle Mountain elementary school, new middle and secondary schools in the eastern part of the city, and upgrades to Yale and W.J. Mouat secondary schools. Whether the district gets provincial money to build those items is another matter. The capital plan is the first that Abbotsford and other districts around B.C. have been requested to prepare for the province since the 2013/14 fiscal year. Trustees were set to vote on it Tuesday evening after The News’ press deadline. If approved, it would be forwarded to the provincial government, which will use it and similar plans from B.C.’s 59 other school districts to decide where to allocate capital funding. “It’s a wish list based on our best guess for growth and need of school space,” school district spokesperson Dave Stephen said. The new schools are toward the bottom of the list, behind more pressing and less costly concerns such as lighting system upgrades, and roof and school bus replacements. But as schools in the city’s east side fill up, the district is looking for funding to serve the increasing number of students in the area. “Almost all our elementary schools in what we call the east side are full,” Stephen said. “So we anticipate needing schools sooner rather than later … and as more elementary students go through, we know we’re going to need more middle and secondary space.” As students returned this fall, classes were added at four elementary schools, and subtracted at two.

City eyes restrictions on roadside memorials Shrines to lost loved ones can ‘look really bad’ after awhile: Councillor Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News
Abbotsford is considering putting restrictions on roadside memorials. They’re a common sight – flowers, crosses, stuffed animals and other memorabilia on the side of the road – there to remember a loved one lost in a motor vehicle crash. There might be a limit to how long they can stay up, though, depending on how council responds to a proposal brought forward by a concerned resident. Gerald Cuthbert put forward the idea of a roadside memorial policy on Sept. 21, at a presentation to the transportation advisory committee. Cuthbert had concerns about whether memorials could obstruct the view of drivers or harm real estate values. The recommendation to set restrictions on the shrines was passed at a Nov. 2 executive council meeting, with Couns. Patricia Ross and Dave Loewen voting against. Loewen said a formal policy wasn’t
needed. “My fear/concern would be that the policy would act as an invitation to erect roadside memorials,” Loewen said, adding that he wants to “move toward removal of these memorials in a sensitive and timely manner.” Coun. Sandra Blue wants to have roadside memorial policy information distributed where grieving families can easily find it, like at Victim Services and local funeral homes. She noted that some items chosen for memorials, such as teddy bears, can deteriorate when exposed to the elements. “After awhile, they look really bad,” she said. About 15 roadside memorials currently exist in Abbotsford, according to city staff. They currently follow an informal policy, checking for safety concerns and notifying families if a memorial is to be cleaned, removed or altered. Coun. Moe Gill said over his long tenure on council, responses to roadside memorials were frequently discussed on the traffic safety committee. Rather than
having to spend time deliberating each case, he’d prefer an overall policy to guide the city’s actions. No other municipalities in the Lower Mainland have roadside memorial restrictions. Kelowna removes them after two years, and there is a policy without formal time limits in place for provincial highways. In Calgary, metal bands are used for a longer-lasting remembrance. It’s an oft-discussed issue in Ottawa, where white-painted “ghost bikes” memorializing cyclists are installed in various locations. The topic of roadside memorials has been discussed by the city previously. In 2006, they considered partnering with ICBC to offer small, permanent memorial plaques to grieving families. In 2009, council considered erecting black coffin-shaped “FATALITY” signs at intersections where traffic collisions have caused loss of life. The proposal was made in partnership with UFV, with researchers hoping the signs would encourage safe driving. That proposal was rejected.

City won’t share MLAs
A5
Online all the time. 24/7
Chamber pleased local provincial ridings only tweaked Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News
Abbotsford residents won’t share MLAs with Langley or Chilliwack after the next provincial election, as the Electoral Boundaries Commission has decided against splitting up the city. The AbbotsfordMission district, currently represented by Liberal MLA Simon Gibson, has been extended on its southeast flank to fol-
low Highway 1, instead of Dawson and McKee roads. Abbotsford West, held by Liberal Michael de Jong, has been redrawn all the way to Sumas Way, instead of stopping on Gladwin Road in the Matsqui Prairie area. Abbotsford South, represented by Liberal Darryl Plecas, has been expanded west to encompass Aldergrove. The new ridings will be used in the next provincial election, current-
ly scheduled for May 2017. The adjustments are being drawn province-wide to account for population shifts and growth. All three Abbotsford ridings have experienced significant population growth since the boundaries were last redrawn in 2008. The commission, led by Justice Thomas Melnick, suggested in March that Abbotsford share two ridings with Langley and one with
Chilliwack. This proposal, which split up the city along Highway 1 and Sumas Way, was met with negative feedback and abandoned. “We heard that Abbotsford does not share a strong community of interest with Chilliwack or western Langley,” the commission’s final September report read. “Therefore, we propose Abbotsford districts that are largely within Abbotsford mu-
nicipal boundaries.” The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce supports the decision. “We are satisfied that the commission has listened to the strong, united voice coming from our community,” said chamber president Josh Bach. “Based on the final report recommendations, we can continue to enjoy effective representation on local issues.”

Eagle Mountain elementary top priority From A1
ity, 18 students from the two schools were being bused to Prince Charles and Mountain elementary schools, respectively. City planners will also brief the district on Dec. 1 on Abbotsford’s new Official Community Plan, which will affect long-term development and population growth. The highest priority new school on the list, and the only school for which a funding request has been made for the first year of the capital plan, is a new 450-student elementary on Eagle Mountain
Drive, on Sumas Mountain. The district has already acquired the property for the school, which is a holdover from the 2013/14 plan. Construction is pegged by the district to cost $12.5 million. The school makes up more than half of the $21.3 million in capital funding included in the first year of the plan. The other large year-one capital request is for a $5 million seismic upgrade for the Bakerview Centre of Learning. The plan’s second year calls for $2 million in planning
and property acquisition for a new east side middle school that would accommodate 600 students, while the third year includes $3 million for property and planning of a new 1,200-student east side secondary school. The district has also requested $8.3 million to increase capacity at Yale secondary from 1,100 to 1,400 students, and $9.8 million to increase W. J. Mouat secondary school from 1,200 to 1,400. Both are listed in the plan’s third year. The last item on the list is a request for $8.2 million in
CER CERTIFIED
funding for a new Whatcom elementary school carried through the plan’s fourth and fifth years. The most pressing requirements, according to the district, are upgrades and replacements to the lighting, air and water systems at several schools, along with replacements to the roofs at King Traditional and Centennial Park elementary schools. Stephen said while the capital plan reflects what the district sees as needed, it expects funding for around half of the 14 capital projects for the first year.

We shall not forget.
Autopsy to determine cause of death Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News
No further details have emerged regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of a man whose body was found in a wooded area of Abbotsford on Friday afternoon, but police do not suspect foul play. The man’s remains were found at about 3:10 p.m. by an Abbotsford Police patrol officer in the area of Cardinal Avenue and Curlew Drive in west Abbotsford. The site is north of Highway 1, just east of the Highstreet shopping complex. Police said the deceased had been there for some time and was located in an area that appeared to be a makeshift camp. The site was behind a hedge in an undeveloped field directly across from the shopping centre.
A man’s body was found in a wooded area in west Abbotsford, in a makeshift one-person camp. LAURA RODGERS Abbotsford News A blue tarp, metal frame, garbage, a bike and other items were found in the secluded area. The APD major crime unit investigated the scene, along with a coroner, and it will require forensics and an autopsy to ultimately determine the cause of death. Police on the scene say the body was
difficult to identify because it had been exposed to the elements for some time. It is believed the deceased was the only occupant of the camp. A wallet with ID was found in the camp, and police suspect it belonged to the deceased. The man it identifies was known to police but had no crim-

inal record, so a fingerprint search would not be able to confirm identification, police on the scene said. Other methods, such as dental records, can be used to confirm identity. The man identified by the wallet had not been reported missing, police said, and his name has not been released.

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I WEDNESDAY, November 4, 2015
The Gladys camp must go The court ruling on a challenge to Abbotsford’s bylaw banning camping in public places such as parks can perhaps be described as a draw. Legal advocates for the homeless didn’t get the carte blanche right to set up permanent shelter they were seeking for their clients. Yet, the judge did rule that the homeless could camp temporarily overnight in public places when no other shelter was available. Their tents have to come down between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. While both the city and the homeless claimed a victory in the decision, in reality, it does little to nothing to solve the painful problem that has been front and centre of public attention in Abbotsford for the past several years. With a low-barrier supportive housing project still more than a year away from completion, street people will still be occupying public spaces, with all the associated safety hazards, unsanitary conditions and incumbent public response, ranging from compassion to contempt. One thing is certain – the so-called Gladys Avenue “protest” camp has got to go. It is an appalling sight, despite city
efforts to contain the trash, and address the worst of the sanitary issues. Appealling the court decision seems to be pointless for either side, to say nothing of another major expenditure of scarce tax dollars. Therefore, the city needs to get cracking on an interim solution. Rousting the homeless out every morning, making them pack their tents and accumulated possessions, only to see them recreate the encampment in the evening is an exercise in futility. Maple Ridge recently addressed a similar encampment in that city with a multi-pronged initiative to secure a temporary indoor shelter in a leased building, with support from provincial funding and various social services. It’s not ideal, but could that be a potential solution here? Short of that, is there city land that can be temporarily designated for the homeless so they don’t have to pull down their camps – until there are housing options available? Mayor Henry Braun says a strategy to deal with the Gladys camp should be coming in a few weeks. We trust it won’t be any longer than that.

Abbotsford man guilty of lying about crash Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A driver who crashed his pickup truck in Cloverdale two years ago has been found guilty of lying to ICBC about the incident. Abbotsford’s James Steven Baker, an RCMP constable in Surrey at the time of the crash, was charged with providing false or misleading information in relation to an accident claim with the insurer in December 2013. According to an Abbotsford provincial court judgment last week, Baker was driving his black Dodge Ram pickup on 64 Avenue at about 5:35 a.m. Dec. 10 when the incident occurred. While Baker claimed he was struck by another vehicle before he fishtailed into a ditch, the Crown 25 Yea Experie rs nce
NO O JJOB OB TOO BIG O OR R SSMALL! • Variety of Machines to Tackle Any Job • Contract Price or Hourly Rates
argued the crash involved only his truck and resulted from Baker driving too fast for the winter road conditions. Judge Kenneth Skilnick said while one piece of evidence “somewhat” corroborated Baker’s version, three other pieces contradicted the story, including a City of Surrey salt truck driver who witnessed the collision and testified that Baker’s truck passed him on a median on the left and lost control when he tried to merge back into the right lane. “Troubling,” said Skilnick, was that Baker failed to mention passing the city salt truck to an ICBC adjuster. Baker’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for Nov. 20.

Badge honours Bletchley Park code-breakers Abbotsford woman receives recognition 70 years after work Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
Nearly 70 years after she last set foot in Bletchley Park, where she served as one of 12,000 women cracking Nazi codes during the Second World War, Kathleen Wood of Abbotsford has received official acknowledgment by the British government for her part in the war effort.
Kathleen Wood displays the medal she received this year for her work at Bletchley Park during the Second World War. TYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News
‘Paradiso’ provides patient centre Event has raised $266,000 over the past six years Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News
A popular Abbotsford event has raised more than $266,000 over the past six years to support cancer patients and their families. The sixth annual Afternoon in Paradiso raised $35,000 this year, which will help establish a Patient Resource Centre at the BC Cancer Agency’s Abbotsford centre. “It’s going to be a fantastic room for the people who are unfortunately diagnosed with cancer,” said Paul Esposito Sr., who hosts the event, which this year was held Sept. 27 at the Phoenix Lounge on King Road. “It’s going to bring comfort and knowledge, lift their spirits, and hopefully [give them] the willing-

Commemorative Badge to recognize the significance of the efforts of those like Wood. But even as she spoke to The News last year, Wood and her family weren’t aware of the honour. Only this summer, when Wood’s daughter Sharon Raine was researching Bletchley Park about a possible visit, did she stumble across a “roll of honour” listing those who had served. Raine and her daughter got Wood’s name added to the list, and also learned of the commemorative badge.
A month later, it arrived in the mail, along with a certificate signed by British Prime Minister David Cameron. “I wish my dad could have seen this badge,” Wood told her daughter Janet. “He would have been so proud. My dad never knew the role I had played in the war. He would have been very amused that we were ‘pulling one over’ on the Germans! He would have been very proud of me working at Bletchley Park.” – with files from Justin Beddall

“Serving the community for more than 40 years”
the event has supported cutting-edge cancer research. It has also purchased equipment for the BC Cancer Agency, such as a gastroscope, which allows doctors to look inside a patient’s stomach, and a pelvis belly board, which helps patients lie in the right position when receiving radiation treatment. “It’s been a sincere
pleasure working with Paul Esposito Sr. ... as well as the volunteer organizing committee of An Afternoon in Paradiso who have worked tirelessly to make this funding possible,” said Rachel Mitchell, the senior development officer of special events for the BC Cancer Agency. The Paradiso event features wine tasting, craft beer and entertainment, with ticket sales and live auction proceeds supporting the BC Cancer Foundation. Esposito is already planning the next event for 2016 – he’s thinking about keeping the wine tasting, but adding more craft beer tasting and an Oktoberfest theme. “I’m so blessed with such good people in our committee that are so generous with their time,” said Esposito.
Wood, who was featured in The News last year, was a member of the Women’s Royal Naval Service and worked throughout the war to painstakingly decode intercepted messages delivered by the Germans’ sophisticated Enigma machines between Nazi military commanders. The operation was classified for decades and only has come into the public light in the last 20 years through books and films like The Imitation Game. In 2009, the British government created the Bletchley Park

Farm source of creek odours Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
Milk from a local farm is to blame for foul odours and the discolouration of a McMillanarea creek, city officials have confirmed. The creek, which collects water from local storm drains along McMillan and runs west into Lonzo Creek Park, has sporadically turned white for more than a decade. But this year, the situation seemed to escalate further, with the small
watercourse smelling “like an outhouse” at times, according to local resident Karen Copeland. Although she had expressed skepticism over an earlier declaration that milk was to blame, she said the city has now confirmed a nearby farm as the source. City spokesperson Katherine Treloar said the municipality is now working with the owner and the ministry of environment to find longterm solutions.

An Abbotsford worker is one of four people in B.C. to receive a B.C. Community Social Services Award of Excellence. Shelly Knuff is the manager of the Grant East residential care home operated by Communitas Supportive Care Society. She was presented with her award from the Community Social Services Employers’ Association (CSSEA) at a luncheon on Oct. 5 in Vancouver. The CSSEA states on its awards website that Knuff was selected to receive its leader award because she has “made an impact in the lives of staff and residents with her leadership skills.” Knuff, who has worked with Communitas for over 25 years, oversees many programs and created the Community Living Program to provide skills and training for people with disabilities. “Shelly is a tireless advocate who deeply values the lives of those around her. She is a mentor and leader who has brought fresh ideas and created positive, lasting change to the social services community,” the CSSEA said.

Community foundations team up with Black Press An ongoing media partnership is helping introduce more British Columbians to community foundations than ever before. Starting next week, the reach of Community Foundation of Canada’s national awareness campaign is being extended through the Black Press newspaper network to celebrate the way communities shape the citizens who live in them, and to recognize the role we all have in giving back. British Columbia’s 53 community foundations are part of a network of 191 community foundations across Canada that contribute time, leadership and financial support to local initiatives, helping people give back where their communities need it most. Community foundations champion local issues, directing grants and other investments towards everything from shelter, education, and care for those in need, to the arts, environment and recreation. “Working with the Black Press network of local newspapers has given community foundations the opportunity to introduce tens of thousands of readers to the ground-breaking initiatives that are making a difference in our communities each and every day,” said Ian Bird, president of Community Foundations of Canada. The partnership is part of a multi-year awareness campaign that includes a series of print, broadcast and digital ads that feature Canadians who embody the concept of “Community Makes You. You Make Your Community.”

Abbotsford Panthers edged by Grizzlies Panthers drop first game of season, Mouat and Bateman await playoff fate Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News
It was one mistake too many for the Abbotsford Panthers on Friday. A botched snap on the opening drive that led to a safety, a rushing touchdown by Richard Tshimpaka called back by a penalty, and allowing a major on a fake punt all led to a 23-22 loss to the G.W. Graham Grizzlies. The Panthers had an opportunity in the game’s final moments to win the game off the foot of kicker James Parker. He had the distance but booted the potentially game-winning field goal attempt wide. “I thought we played hard and put ourselves in a position to win and we just missed,” said Panthers head coach Jay Fujimura. “Graham is a very good team and you cannot expect to beat them without playing mistake-free football, and we didn’t do that today.” The Panthers played most of the game without star player Chase Claypool, who suffered a charley horse in the second quarter, and was used sparingly after the injury. He didn’t play another series on defence after the injury and played a limited role on offence for the remainder of the game. Fujimura said he expects Claypool to fully recover by the team’s next game. He said his

Taking a pitch, Claypool threw the team’s first touchdown pass to Maasin Thompson to put the Panthers up 7-2 in the first quarter and then caught a touchdown

field position for most of the second half, and the only touchdown came when the Grizzlies scored on a fake punt of over 50 yards. Graham conceded a safety late in the
fourth quarter rather than punt to Claypool and Parker couldn’t put the ball through the uprights. Abbotsford falls to three wins and one loss and next play the Rick Hansen Hurricanes on Nov. 7. Earlier on Friday, the Robert Bateman Timberwolves beat the Hurricanes 54-0. Defensive captain Devin Sidhu scored two defensive touchdowns, one off a fumble recover and one off an inteception in the victory. The win keeps the Timberwolves playoff hopes alive and they improve to a record of one win and three losses. Bateman travels to Pitt Meadows on Nov. 6, in a game they must win to fight for their playoff lives. The Hurricanes record sits at zero wins and four losses, and they close out the season at home against Abbotsford. In AAA action on Friday, the W.J. Mouat Hawks lost 37-28 to Lord Tweedsmuir. Hawks running back Dion Pellerin picked up 177 yards rushing and two touchdowns, and Dylan Manocha scored a major on a kick-off return in the loss. The Hawks fall to two wins and four losses with the setback. Mouat’s regular season is over and they have to watch and see what happens in the final week of the season to see if they move on.

UFV women eliminated Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News
The UFV Cascades women’s soccer team left the fate of their season to the unforgiving hand of penalty kicks, and it didn’t end well for the home side. UFV lost 5-3 in penalty kicks to the UVic Vikes at Abbotsford Senior Secondary on Saturday to put an end to the 2015 season. The two teams played 120 minutes of scoreless soccer before the UVic keeper made a save to eliminate the Cascades for good. Women’s team head coach Rob Giesbrecht said the loss was hard to swallow but that it was a positive year overall. “PK’s (penalty kicks) are always a tough way to lose,” he said. “But it’s part of the game and I’m really happy with how my team played. I thought we were the better team in the 90 minutes and because of injuries we lost our legs a little bit in the extra time.” The Cascades had their chances, with midfielder Brittany Zacharuk ringing a shot off the crossbar in the 35th minute. Forward Monika Levarasky was also robbed in the 58th minute when the Vikes keeper stopped her at close range. Cascades goalie Kayla Klim kept the Cascades alive in the extra time, making a game-saving stop in the dying moments of the second period of extra time. Giesbrecht said Klim should be commended for her strong play. “She’s an unbelievable keeper and we’re lucky to have her,” he said. “PK’s are so tough on a keeper and she deserved better.” It was the final game for fifth-year veteran Shelby Beck and Dayle Jeras, who ended their college careers with the loss. Giesbrecht said they have been the backbones of the program. “They’ve been everything and have given so much and that’s why it hurts so much,” he said. “When you invest that much time in something it’s going to sting when it ends. They always battled so
UFV’s Brittany Zacharuk winds up for a shot during playoff action on Friday. BEN LYPKA Abbotsford News hard and led our team well.” Giesbrecht said he was proud of the Cascades’ record of eight wins, four losses and two ties. Meanwhile, the Cascades men’s soccer team is moving on after a 4-3 win in Edmonton on Saturday. Fourth-year forward Connor MacMillan
scored the game-winning goal in the 84th minute to help the Cascades eliminate the University of Alberta Golden Bears. UFV built leads of 2-0 and 3-1 in the second half, but the Bears managed to tie the game up at three in the 81st minute. MacMillan’s second goal of the game in the
84th minute sealed the deal. Kree Byrne and Elijah Sampson scored the other two goals for the Cascades. “We could have caved because of the goals we conceded and how unlucky we were, but we battled as a team,” said UFV head coach Tom Lowndes. “I couldn’t be more proud of their effort.” With the win, UFV advances to the Canada West Final Four, hosted by the UBC Thunderbirds this weekend. They take on the host T-Birds in the semifinals at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. A win would not only send the Cascades on to the conference gold medal game, it would also punch their ticket to the CIS national championship, hosted by York University in Toronto from Nov. 12 to 15.

Burrows and Bo Horvat questioned their ability in front of the whole team. A few awkward minutes later, Horvat stood and welcomed the pair of rookies to the club, ending the ribbing of the duo. “What a great day! Best day of my life!,” Virtanen tweeted on Sunday. The week got even better for Virtanen on Tuesday, when he recorded the first goal of his NHL career. He scored at 8:28 of the third period in the team’s 4-1 win against the Philadelphia Flyers. He was also named the game’s first star. Virtanen has played nine games with the Canucks this season, recording one goal, two assists, four penalty minutes and 15 shots. He will now earn a base salary of $832,500 with the Canucks. Virtanen and the Canucks play the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday and then the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday.

Gallery 7 Theatre presents its production of Around the World in 80 Days starting on Friday, Nov. 6 at the Abbotsford Arts Centre (2329 Crescent Way). On a whim, wealthy adventurer Phileas Fogg makes a bet with his friends that he can travel around the world in a mere 80 days. The problem? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1872 and the airplane hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been invented yet. Accompanied by his trusty servant Passpartout, Fogg embarks on a journey unlike any other, dodging a pesky, ill-informed detective at every turn. This madcap adventure comedy features raging typhoons, runaway trains and stampeding elephants. Director Cody Friesen is a recent graduate of Trinity Western University Theatre. Performing the role of Phileas Fogg is Gabriel Kirkley, a graduate of the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) theatre program, who has acted in, designed or directed more than 60 productions. Aouda, the damsel in distress who Fogg rescues part way through his global adventure, is played by Catrina Jackson, who last appeared in Gallery 7â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of Anne (of Green Gables) as Josie Pye.

25 years for Bibles for Missions Bibles for Missions has celebrated its 25th anniversary in Abbotsford. The thrift store was started by a group of Christians, who saw an opportunity to change the lives of people in the Soviet Union who had been ruled for 75 years by the Communist party. Under glasnost, it became possible to send Christian literature and Bibles. The Abbotsford group decided to open a thrift store to raise funds for the Bible League of Canada to spread the gospel in Eastern Europe.

The first store opened Oct. 19, 1990 on South Fraser Way, and $9,000 was donated that year. More goods were donated than could be placed, and a larger store was leased. However, the store burned down on Sept. 1, 1994. With the help of Mennonite Central Committee, volunteers opened a new store. That location became too small again, so the society bought property at 2337 West Railway St., and a building was erected. An addition was planned in 2011, likely to open in January 2016.

Developer donates $28,000 to Cyrus Centre Neighbourhood goodwill prompted company to pay it forward Developers of the Foxwood subdivision in Abbotsford have donated $28,000 – $1,000 for each home – to Cyrus Centre, a charity helping vulnerable and homeless youth. Foxwood is a project of Pacific Hills Developments Ltd., started in 2004, when Olivier and Karla Lamy partnered with Herb and Brigitte Nickel. The four said that one of their main priorities for Pacific Hills in creating the Foxwood subdivision – located on Lukiv Terrace in east Abbotsford – was to find a meaningful way to support the community. The residents demonstrated this sense of community following an incident last year. The neighbourhood is located at the end of a cul-de-sac with access

to the adjacent shopping centre – making it a target for vandals and thieves as an escape route. These types of problems came to a peak one night when a stolen car crashed through the fence, creating a sizable mess. The residents then worked together to clean up the neighbourhood, including the rebuilding of the fence, while others contributed financially.
This was followed by a block party in the summer of 2014, which has now become an annual event. The Lamys and Nickels said this sense of community spirit encouraged them to give back to the community. When they asked for input from the residents on which charity to support, they selected Cyrus Centre. The donation was presented last Thursday.

Konrad and Katie Kocsis celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary with their family in Playa da Carmen, Mexico. They were married October 24, 1965 in Ecs, Hungary. Katie joined her husband 7 months later in Canada and made their home in Abbotsford. Konrad worked on the railroad as a foreman then supervisor for G Braun Construction. He started his own business in 1980 as West Coast Rail but because of the economy he closed it down after 5 years and worked for A & B Rail until 1999 when he retired. Katie was a stay at home mom for their 2 children Konrad (born 1967) and Christine (born 1972) until they were teenagers at which she began working a few different jobs until 1990 when she started at Woolco. She worked for what became Wal-Mart in the electronics dept. for 24 years and retired in 2014. Their son Konrad married Cynthia (1991) and have Kyle (22), Alexander (18) while their daughter Christine married Jeff (2000) and have Katelyn (13) and Jessica (11). Their pride and joy is their grandchildren and enjoy spending time with them whenever possible. With extended family being in Europe they traveled many times back and the years they didn’t they traveled throughout North America, Hawaii and Mexico. Life brought many challenges but they got through together because of their faith in God, love for one another and family along with support from their family and friends.

OBITUARIES
ABERNETHY, HUGH THOMAS (TOM) It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Tom Abernethy at Salmon Arm, BC on October 24, 2015. Tom was born in Vancouver, BC on December 30, 1936 to Gladys (Hardman) and Earle Abernethy and raised in Abbotsford. He worked for Abbotsford Bakery and later McGavin’s Bakery in Langley. A true country boy, Tom’s retirement years were spent in a log home on land that he loved at Gardom Lake near Salmon Arm. A man of few words but deep emotions, Tom’s family and friends could count on his thoughtful wisdom when advice was sought and his skillful hands when there was a job to be done. He believed that life should be lived simply and that nothing should be wasted. In today’s “throw-away” world, Tom was the ultimate conservator. Tom was predeceased by his parents and his sister, Jessie. Devastated by his loss are his loving family: wife Carol, step-daughter Christel D’Aoust (Angie), sister Adele Friend (Bill), nephews Michael DesMazes and Jay DesMazes (Bonita). Many other relatives and countless friends will be saddened at his passing. No service by request. Private family burial at Hazelwood Cemetery, Abbotsford, BC. Online condolences may be sent through Tom’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

HOOGE Hildegard 7
OBITUARIES
ANTONSON Al 1925 ~ 2015 “It was a dark and stormy night” - as his favourite Christmas special “Peanuts” characters would say - when Al Antonson slipped away to join Mom on their longplanned “tour of the universe”, just like they used to dream about. Our Dad, brother, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle - and friend to countless people - left us in the wee small hours of October 31st, just shy of his 90th birthday. Dad was a proud Christmas baby of Norwegian heritage, born December 25th, 1925 in a tarpaper shack in the middle of 640 acres of rented land in Success, Saskatchewan. He moved with his family to BC during the rough and demanding Dirty Thirties and forever after asked people “What’s your Saskatchewan connection?” Dad often said “I left Success at the age of ten, and have been looking for it ever since!” He was rightly proud of his military career as a Lance Corporal, ‘corporal instructor’, and marksman. Most, though, he was thrilled with meeting Elsie Bailey (Mom), who also hailed from Saskatchewan (Wynyard), while they both served their country in 1946. They married in 1947, and Brian (Sue), Rick (Janice), Judy (Bob), and Greg followed into a fun, fortunate and exciting family, including grandkids Jeremy and Kristin (Tim) and Brent and Sean (Hilary) and Andrew, and great grandkids Tristin and Sierra, and Riley and Declan (and their grandmother, Wendy). Al’s engaging business career was varied - as a magazine editor and columnist, Marketing and Sales Manager with Nabob Foods, Exhibit Space Manager and Assistant Manager of the Fair for the PNE, and finally with Conventions Unlimited. He made an active commitment to the Lutheran Church, one that led him through many adventures, and there were contributions and leadership roles for his community, among the many, at Camp Luther, AgriFair, and Burnaby Heritage Village. Al and Elsie travelled the world, and welcomed an endless and enviable stream of friends and family to their homes in Burnaby and, for the past 20+ years, at Carriage Lane in Abbotsford. Dad was “an ideas guy”, and someone’s simple suggestion could bring forth pages of ideas from him, freely offered, and wisely accepted. His family genealogy work was a massive undertaking, and his encyclopedic knowledge of our family history over the centuries was compelling; his research smarts were akin to those of Sherlock Holmes. They lent their name and support to the Al and Elsie Antonson Military Library at the Canadian Military Education Centre in Chilliwack. After Mom passed away four years ago, Dad’s “spark” fluttered, and slowly faded. He moved to Menno Home in Abbotsford two years ago, and his salutation of “God Bless - we love you” became familiar to everyone. The staff at Menno Home repeatedly said that he stood out among their guests, and was “incredibly special” and we thank them so much for taking such good care of him. So many of them dropped by his room to be with him as his departure time neared, offering their loving goodbyes. Dad’s big and amazing heart kept ticking through his last 48 hours, until he slipped away quietly on the early morning of Saturday, October 31st. He’s survived by his older brother Alf in Kelowna, and relatives in Norway, and across Canada and the United States. We’ll gather to celebrate Dad’s wonderful life at 2:00 pm on Saturday, November 7th, at Peace Lutheran Church, 2029 Ware Street, in Abbotsford (604.859.5409). Dad touched so many people in so many ways over so many years. He won’t be attending though... true to their plans, Dad and Mom are already exploring the universe together. Online condolences to the family may be made to:

ELIAS David
Our Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother Hildegard Hooge went to be with her Lord and Savior on October 27, 2015 at the age of 89. She was born to George and Katharina (Penner) Derksen on January 29, 1926 in Fisherville, ON. Her twin died at birth. She was married November 13, 1954 to George Henry Hooge. They purchased a farm on the corner of Ross Road and Downes Road, where their first two girls were born. In 1963 they purchased a raspberry farm on Bradner Road, where they lived for 24 years and were blessed with another girl and a boy. In 1970 Shan An also joined the family as a son. In 1989 they retired moving to a condo in Clearbrook, where she lived till her passing. She was always a hard worker and the glue that held the family together. She had polio as a young girl, which affected her hearing greatly, but Mom was not one to let circumstances stop her; she just had to find ways around the tough things. She loved to play the accordion and got the whole family to sing together, despite the fact that she could not sing on key. She loved the Lord with all her heart, all her soul, and all her mind and loved her neighbours as herself. She loved to look after everyone who needed always finding something to give. She loved spending time with family! She was predeceased by her husband George in 1999, her brother Adolf in 1942, and her sister-in-law, Lydia (Peter) Penner. She is survived by her children: daughters Charlotte (Don) Derksen, Jennifer (Leon) Stein, Miranda (Geoff) Dollinger; sons Gilbert (Marilyn) Hooge and Shan (Soogie) An, grandchildren and great grandchildren: James (Devon) Derksen, Diana (Scott) White; Tyler (Ally) Stein, Jaclyn (Jesse) Cressman and son Evan, Sharla (Stephen) Magdalin, Linnea (Craig) Stein; Sarah Dollinger, Andrew (Joy) Dollinger, Adam Dollinger; Joshua (Steve) Hooge, Roxanna (Ryan) Froese and children: Lincoln, Jake, Seth, and Ruby, Micah (Ashley) Hooge and children: Isabelle and Elijah; Lily (Daniel) Kim and children: Cole and Koren, Julie An (Kevin) Jager and children Bade and Kecia. She is also survived by two brothers Peter (Donna) and John (Thelma) and two sisters Kaye (George) and Margaret (Eugene); her husbands siblings: brother Jake (Betty) Hooge, Henry (Mary) Hooge and many nieces and nephews. Visitation will be held at 8:30 - 9:00 am at Clearbrook Mennonite Brethren Church. Burial to follow at 9:30 am at Maclure Road Mennonite Cemetery. The funeral service will be held at Clearbrook Mennonite Brethren Church at 11:00 am. Refreshments to follow in the church basement. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Hands On Street Ministry 140 Ave. F North, Saskatoon, SK S7L 1V8. Wiebe and Jeske Burial and Cremation Care Providers are looking after funeral arrangements. The family would like to thanks to each of the nurses and doctors who cared for Mom. A special thank you to Fraser Valley Health who provide homecare for Mom; you were all wonderful! Online condolences to the family may be made to:
On Thursday, October 29, 2015 we lost someone very special. Dad touched the lives of many people with his mischievous way, sly smile and his big heart.
