Pipeline company must do more: city Abbotsford delivers submission to National Energy Board Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
The City of Abbotsford is still worried that the proposed twinning of the Trans Mountain Pipeline will cost taxpayers millions of dol-
lars, and it remains concerned that more needs to be done to prevent a third oil spill in Abbotsford. In its written submissions delivered to the National Energy Board (NEB) Tuesday, the city said that while it neither formally oppos-
es nor supports Kinder Morgan Canada’s proposal to expand its pipeline, it remains concerned about the cost to municipalities, as well as the company’s preparation and response to an oil spill. The pipeline runs about 42 ki-
lometres through Abbotsford, and Kinder Morgan also operates a pump station and tank farm on Sumas Mountain. Kinder Morgan has proposed tripling the pipeline’s capacity to 890,000 barrels per day. Continued on A3
Police standoff with man ends safely Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
A standoff involving a man who threatened to blow up his house ended peacefully Monday evening with Abbotsford police taking the individual to hospital for mental health treatment. Around 5:30 p.m., police went to the man’s residence in the area of Mayfair Avenue and Cottage Lane after a report that he had threatened someone. The 65-year-old man locked himself in, and threatened to use the furnace to blow up the house. Authorities shut off the gas supply. Officers made contact with the man, and were communicating with him for several hours. Shortly after 10 p.m., nearby residents reported hearing loud bangs, but the standoff didn’t end until around 11:45 p.m.. The man was taken to hospital.

Mission crash takes life of Abby man

THE PACIFIC SHOWROOM
RCMP asking for witnesses to come forward Kevin MILLS Mission Record
One man is dead and another is under arrest after a motor vehicle accident in Mission on Saturday morning. Mission RCMP are asking for assistance from witnesses regarding the collision which killed an Abbotsford man. At approximately 9 a.m. on Jan. 9, the RCMP responded to a call of a collision on Lougheed Highway. The accident occurred several kilometres west of the Silver Creek industrial park, between Chester Street and Nelson Street. A black 2015 Dodge Ram Crew Cab pickup with two occupants was traveling eastbound towards Mission when it suddenly crossed the centreline and struck a white 2012 Chevrolet van in the oncoming lane. The lone occupant of the van,
an Abbotsford man in his 60s, was killed. It is believed that marijuana use was a contributing factor to this incident. The driver of the Dodge truck, a 25-year-old Abbotsford resident, was arrested. Staff Sgt. Rob Dixon said the investigation is continuing and a charge of impaired driving causing death will likely be recommended by police. Until that time, the name of the driver will not be released to the public. The victim’s name has also not been released. “We are encouraging anyone with any information to come forward,” said Dixon. If you were in the area when the accident occurred and observed the driving behaviour of either vehicle involved prior to the collision, call police at 604820-3540.
A fatal two-car collision occurred on Highway 7 (Lougheed Highway) in the area between Chester Street and Nelson Street on Saturday morning.
Man sentenced for Townline Hill drug trafficking Vishal Bajaj receives 18 months in prison Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
A young man’s substance use and accumulating drug debts led him to become immersed in a lifestyle that hurt the community, according to details presented Friday in a court sentencing hearing. Vishal Bajaj, 27, was sentenced in Abbotsford provincial court to 18 months in prison for three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, to which he had previously pleaded guilty. Six other identical counts were stayed, as was one count of breaching his bail conditions. He was given just over five months’ credit for time already served, leaving him with another 13 months of jail time. Police previously identified Bajaj as among those involved in the ongoing Townline Hill conflict, which involves two groups of young men battling over drug turf in west Abbotsford. The conflict has resulted in several drive-by shootings and two killings – Harwin Baringh, 18, who was shot in his vehicle on Sparrow Drive in October 2014, and Ping Shun Ao, 74, who was struck by a stray bullet intended for his next-door neighbour on Promontory Court on Sept. 2, 2014. Defence lawyer David Silverman told
the court that Bajaj, the youngest of five, was pulled into a criminal lifestyle after his father’s death. He was 17 at the time, and clashed with his oldest brother, who became head of the household. Bajaj moved out on his own and worked at construction and restaurant jobs before turning to drugs and then to trafficking to support his habit. “He really had no significant means of support (and) was struggling; simply surviving day to day,” Silverman said. He described Bajaj, whose only other prior conviction was a driving offence, as “very unsophisticated” in his unlawful activities. “This is not a person who is a hardened, drug-dealing criminal. At best, he is an amateur – and not a very good one, in my opinion,” Silverman said. Bajaj was arrested and charged by police on three separate occasions last year after police watched him selling drugs at his residence and from vehicles at various locations around Abbotsford. He was first charged in May following a drug transaction in the area of Upper Maclure Road and Mallard Street. Another man, Iqbal Kular, was also charged, and is still before the courts. Bajaj was again arrested on Sept. 8 after
CER CERTIFIED
police executed a search warrant at his residence in the 30700 block of Sandpiper Drive. His third arrest was just eight days later, when he and another man, Kuldeep Gill, were arrested in the Safeway parking lot in the 27500 block of Fraser Highway in Aldergrove. Charges against Gill have been stayed. In all three instances, police discovered cocaine, heroin and meth, as well as drug paraphernalia, cellphones, cash, and “scoresheets” to keep track of drug tabs. Silverman said the quantity of drugs was “not huge,” amounting to a value of about $600 in each case. The Crown recommended that Bajaj serve a sentence of 18 months, while Silverman suggested a range of 12 to 18 months would be more appropriate. Judge Steven Point decided on the highest end of that range, saying that although the drug quantities were “moderate,” Bajaj continued to traffic even after his first and second arrests. He was also critical of the types of drugs being sold, saying they are “highly addictive drugs, damaging to individuals.” “Of all the enterprises out there, this is one of the worst in terms of its negative impacts on society,” Point said.

The City of Abbotsford will close down the homeless protest camp

Survivors (DWS), an activist group advocating for the homeless. In December, Mayor Henry Braun said the
camp would be dismantled sometime around mid-January, once the temporary winter homeless shelter
on Riverside Road was opened and the city revised its parks bylaw to comply with the October B.C. Supreme Court

ruling giving homeless people the right to sleep in some public places outdoors. The shelter opened on Dec. 21, and the parks bylaw is currently being revised. The court ruling said homeless people have a right to sleep overnight in public spaces if there isn’t anywhere else for them to go, and they can temporarily erect shelters or tents, but they must take them down in the morning so they don’t get in the way of others. The city considers the Gladys camp to be outside the court ruling because it’s on a city road right-of-way, not a park. But the lawyer who represented the homeless in court disagrees. “Other public places were also included … not only parks,” said DJ Larkin of Pivot Legal Society. “The city is taking a very limited view of what the ruling means.” The court case began after a group of increasingly politicized homeless activists were ousted from Jubilee Park in 2013 – a move that subsequently spawned the protest camp at Gladys. The camp has shrunk in footprint since December, but a core group of about 10 residents remain. The Riverside shelter, which has been at, or close to, its capacity of 40 people since New Year’s Eve, wouldn’t be able to take them all. According to local outreach leaders, the DWS and camp residents interviewed by The News, the Gladys occupants don’t want to go to Riverside, and they distrust shelters in general for a variety of reasons, including privacy and keeping belongings secure. Rudolph said, “There are parks where the judge has ruled people can stay overnight,” he said. “We’re trying to find solutions.” If the city’s interpretation of the court ruling falls too far shy of where Larkin and her clients think it should be, she said there’s a possibility of going back to court. “It’s up to the city now,” said Larkin.

The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) hopes the release of a new video will get young people talking about relationship violence. The production, called Reveal’ution, premiered Tuesday morning during a special showing at W. J. Mouat Secondary, whose students acted in the video. The 15-minute film depicts a high school girl involved in a relationship with a boy, whose controlling and abusive behaviour frightens and traumatizes her. It also shows their friends and how they react to the situation by speaking up and becoming involved. Abbotsford Police Det. Tonya Dupuis, who works in the domestic violence unit (DVU), said the idea for the production began about a year ago. “This is a hard topic … It’s heavy and there’s not a good way to do it … but we realized we’re not talking about this enough,” she said. Dupuis said it’s important for young people to know and understand what a healthy relationship is like and what should and shouldn’t be tolerated. She said she hopes the film becomes a starting point for easier discussions on the topic. “We want your generation to stand up and say, ‘Enough is enough, and we don’t tolerate relationship violence of any kind,’ ” Dupuis told
the audience attending the screening. She encouraged anyone facing such issues, or who knows someone who is, to reach out to someone they trust, whether it’s a parent, a counsellor, a police officer or otherwise. “If we stand by and do nothing, they I think we have a problem.” Police Chief Bob Rich said it’s estimated that one in four women will be victims of some form of domestic violence in their lifetime. “The police investigate every night another instance of domestic violence, but that represents just a small percentage of what is really happening,” he said in reference to the number of unreported incidents. Rich said addressing relationship violence is similar to the tactic the APD has taken with its ongoing presentations about gang involvement – trying to get to kids before it happens to them. He said the DVU regularly holds “respectful relationship” presentations with Grade 10 to 12 students, and the new video will now be included in those discussions. “It’s our shot at it, rather than doing nothing,” Rich said. Reveal’ution was created and produced by FireCanvas Productions. The video can be viewed on the APD’s YouTube channel at youtube.com/user/abbypd. Limited DVD copies are also available through the Abbotsford Police Department.

Social media positive note Social media gets a bad rap a lot of the time. Often it deserves it. Critics don’t have to look far for evidence of its – and our – failings. Sites offer a grand showcase of narcissism and misinformation, not to mention a whole host of other negative attributes, including greed, paranoia and racism. Social media is an easy mark and an easy scapegoat – but really it’s only as good or bad as the people who post things on it. And many of those individuals are good, basically decent people. Their greatest crime is using social media to share the occasional laugh, a thought-provoking article or two, a chunk of positive philosophy, a cute critter or some other thing of beauty – whether shaped by nature, or the hand and eye of an artist. Sometimes it’s even a vehicle for empathy and public spirit – evidence that people haven’t lost their basic, human connection, for all our obsession with technology. Take the case of a father and daughter from Saskatoon en route to Victoria who lost almost all their belongings when someone stole their rented U-Haul truck
and trailer in South Surrey just before New Year’s Eve. When their plight was posted on social media, many responded positively by sharing the post. They felt for the family in its predicament – identified with how it would feel to lose everything in the middle of a momentous, and no doubt stressful, household move. Mainstream media took notice, circulating the appeal for information on the missing truck and trailer. And good came of all the attention. An Abbotsford resident noticed a U-Haul truck apparently abandoned in a parking lot and called police. It turned out to be the missing truck, and while most of the family’s possessions were gone, some irreplaceable photos and other mementos – including urns of family members – were recovered. It’s worth remembering that something positive can come of the current fascination with social media – particularly the next time we’re tempted to decry it for emphasizing our lack of connection and empathy. – Black Press

NOW UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
Floored by rising food prices Today I went for a few items at a food store. It just about floored me. The prices had jumped so high. I truly can’t see how families will manage. Pensioners like my-
self are going to have a terrible time to eat healthy. The time has come for front yards to be turned into gardens. Years ago in Toronto, most family commu-
nites had front yards full of veggies. We need to take care of ourselves. It’s so sad houses go so high that only outsiders can afford them. Harper counted on
oil so badly that now we are in a mess. You never put all your eggs into one basket. He did. Now we pay for it. Joanne Roe
Thanks to all the people who helped On Jan. 5, my wife and I were at a doctor’s appointment on Allwood Street. We completed, we headed across South Fraser Way on our scooters to the mall for lunch and a bit of shopping before taking a taxi home. But in the middle of the street, my wife lost her balance and fell to
the ground. Immediately, people came rushing over to help. I heard one lady say how to lift her. Now in all this excitement, we forgot to thank those wonderful folks. Even the cars at the intersection waited for us to pass them before they moved. Thanks again, all you
folks. We’re really blessed to live in Abbotsford
where people do care for each other. Ernie Poignant

McCabe loses appeal of BCSC decision Banned from capital markets, ordered to pay $4.3 million Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
An Abbotsford man has lost his appeal into a decision that found him guilty of contravening the B.C. Securities Act and ordered him to pay back $4.3 million. A panel of the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled on Friday (Jan. 8) that the decision made by the B.C. Securities Commission (BCSC) in July 2014 should be upheld. McCabe sought the appeal on the basis that the BCSC did not have jurisdiction to sanction him for misconduct. McCabe, 31, was permanently banned from B.C.’s capital markets in January 2015 for publishing false stock reports in the monthly Elite Stock Report. BCSC records at the time indicated that McCabe researched stocks, using publicly available information such as websites and
news releases, and, if he thought they had a shot at being profitable, he would write about them in his newsletter. The Elite Stock Report was distributed only by direct unsolicited mail in the U.S. A BCSC panel found that between October 2009 and July 2010, McCabe published “greatly misleading reports” about three companies in order to inflate their stock price. McCabe argued that because the Elite Stock Report was published and mailed in the U.S., there was no trading or exchange of affected securities in B.C. The BCSC maintained that it had jurisdiction over McCabe because he is a B.C. resident and it was his “authorship of the misrepresentations” that contravened the B.C. Securities Act. The three judges on the Court of Appeal
panel were in agreement that the BCSC
was within its jurisdiction to punish
McCabe, saying he wrote some of the tout
sheets from his home in Abbotsford and was

New exhibits open at Reach The Reach Gallery Museum (32388 Veterans Way) launches its winter exhibitions with a free public opening reception on Thursday, Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. A Terrible Beauty: Edward Burtynsky in Dialogue with Emily Carr presents a selection of works by this renowned Toronto photographer in conversation with paintings and drawings by one of B.C.’s most popular artists. Though working in different media and over 50 years apart, these artists share a deep concern for their environment and the impact of human activities on the land. The exhibition is organized and circulated by the Vancouver Art Gallery and curated by its senior curator, Bruce Grenville, who will present a curator’s talk on April 7. The Reach also presents Alberta artist Lyndal Osborne’s installation Shoalwan: River Through Fire, River of Ice.
The work consists of 7,500 glass jars, combined with thousands of materials gathered from the shores of two rivers on opposite sides of the globe. The scale of the exhibition and the variety of its elements serve to illustrate the biological diversity of each river while also bearing witness to the pervasive imprint of human activity. The artist will also be on hand to give a talk and tour of her exhibition on Friday, Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. Adrift in the Same Pond, the most recent body of work by Langley artist Edith Krause, is a collection of human-scale woodcut prints of plankton and life-sized prints of people swimming. The juxtaposition implies a sense of equality in terms of ecological importance and underscores the significance of the tiny plankton to our global ecosystem. The prints are complemented by a digital component featuring
video loops of humans and plankton in aquatic environments. In Hidden Harmonies, Chilliwack artist Ross Bollerup uses his observations of the humble lifeforms – starlings,
moles, bees and rabbits – that exist in the cracks and crevices of our lives. His process reflects the complicated, and often unnoticed, compositions that surround us every day.
The new exhibitions will be on view until April 10, except Ross Bollerup’s, which runs until March 6. For more information, visit thereach.ca or call 604-864-8087.
This piece by Lyndal Osborne is titled Shoalwan: River Barbara Zeigler photo through Fire, River of Ice.

Langley resident Kirsten Brazier’s goal for the new year is a lofty one. She aims to make sure 2,500 females fly for the first time. Last year, Brazier’s “The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too” event at Abbotsford International Airport saw 1,700 females take their first flights. “It’s my passion to inspire more females to get into the aviation world. This work is so important, for the past few years I have set aside my own professional flying career in order to bring these special events to thousands with the end goal of improving gender diversity in aviation, aerospace, marine and de-

For two days, 10 helicopters will take firsttime fliers up in the sky. The hope, said Brazier, is to get females excited about careers in aviation. “This year is even bigger and better. I’ve invited the Navy this year, the bomb disposal unit will bring a robot and a bomb suit. RCMP tactical team will be there too,” she said. “The event takes a hands-on approach to capture the attention of a missing female demographic,” she points out. There are only around 1,300 female professional pilots in Canada, compared to 23,000 male pilots. The numbers are even more dismal in aircraft engineering and mechanics. In the Canadian Armed Forces, fewer than three per cent of top command positions are held by women. It’s these low numbers that have irked Brazier since she started flying 23 years ago. In 2012, while flying helicopters at Yellowknife she got permission from her boss to host a day to fly young women, in an effort to see them bitten by the flying bug. With help, she flew around 200 females. She brought it to her hometown of Langley in 2014, home to many of her most dedicated volunteers. It was a huge success there but outgrew the landing strips. Last year, she moved it to Abbotsford, home of the Abbotsford Airshow. If you are able to help, go to girlsfly2.ca.

BC staff. Customer service representatives Braden Adams and Tara Green were both deeply moved by Brown’s story. “It was really eye-opening to meet someone who, prior to receiving a kidney transplant, was basically on his death bed,” Adams said. “Hearing about Jerry’s experience first-hand and realizing how grim it must be for people who are waiting for that phone call for a donor organ that might never come was really powerful.” Service BC staff were struck by Brown’s assertion that one organ donor can potentially save up to eight lives. “His visit was very motivating. It empowered us to realize we are making a difference with individuals in our community,” Green said. “Prior to meeting Jerry, asking someone to fill out a BC Transplant form didn’t have as much of an impact as it does now. Jerry’s story put a face on the program and gave us something important and
personal to reflect on.” Both Adams and Green are even more mindful of how many B.C. residents wrongly believe they are organ donors, based on their
decision to donate many years ago. “Many of the people we speak with have an old sticker on their Care Card or their driver’s licence that they think
makes them an organ donor. We are there to tell them that that is no longer the case. They must re-register with BC Transplant,” Green said. All 62 Service BC
centres can now provide information on organ donation and help residents register. Registration can also be done at transplant. bc.ca/

Accept Me fashions off to Grammy Awards Black Press
A philanthropic fashion line that takes aim at bullying is becoming a sensation. The “Accept Me” logo which adorns clothing and accessories started as a ker-
nel in Kim Radons’s mind last summer on her Aldergrove farm and has since grown to take the Grammy Awards stage in Los Angeles on Feb. 15. “I started this brand because I firmly believe we should all be
accepted for ‘who I am, how I look, whom I love, and what I believe.’ Individually ,we desire acceptance, yet we are falling short in the reciprocation department,” says Radons, a former longtime Abbotsford res-

ident. She had been dealing with some “profoundly painful” issues around her work as a children’s advocate. “Then at the end of June it hit me. We need one platform –
acceptance – and it takes care of all of that bullying, racism, and negativity in the world.” Radons had the idea for a logo and called on an artist friend in Quebec, Colleen Reich, to come up with the
final logo design. It depicts a person breaking through the barriers of marginalization. The T-shirts, sterling silver necklaces and jewelry are currently only available on the website acceptme.ca, although Radons is

working on getting it into stores as well. To that end she got a big break when the 58th annual Grammy Awards accepted her bid to have the Accept Me products included in their swag bags. “I thought it was a long shot, but I wrote the smallest pitch to the Grammy Awards and got the quickest response.

The 56th annual Snowball Classic basketball tournament is back at Abbotsford Senior Secondary today (Wednesday), with a total of 12 teams battling it out. The school’s head coach, Prentice Lenz, said it should be another great year. “We have some phenomenal teams in this year’s tournament at all levels,” he said. “It’s going to be a really fun environment.” This is the 11th year Lenz has been involved with the event, and he said it wouldn’t be possible without help from the school and the community. “From the school’s standpoint, it’s amazing the support we get from the students, staff and administration,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity to host something like this, and the Abby community loves basketball and have been very gracious at attending – it really makes it special that the gym is always full. The kids just love coming here.” Tournament organizers once again are bringing in a top team from the United States, and this year’s visitors are New York’s Mount Vernon Knights. “I think we’re the only tournament in B.C. that does something like this,” Lenz said, about the American teams. “People like to come out and watch these kids play. Fairfax was incredible last year and Mount Vernon should be great too.” Lenz pointed out that there is also a strong contingent from B.C. at the tournament. The number-one ranked Kelowna Owls are
playing, along with top 10 teams Winston Churchill and Walnut Grove. “I don’t think Kelowna has lost to a Canadian team yet this year,” he said, pointing out the Owls have also toppled some American teams. “Kelowna is fantastic, but Churchill and Walnut Grove are both really good. Yale and Mouat from here have also been playing exceptionally well.” As for his team, Lenz said the Panthers are there to learn and compete. Chase Claypool is the Panthers’ key player, but Lenz said he’d like to see some of his younger talent step up too. “Chase is the only returning person from last year who played significant minutes for us,” he said. “We have lots of new players, and this is a great environment for them to test themselves.” For more information, visit snowballbasketball. com.

out strong by building a 3-1 lead after the first period. Hayden Guilderson, Kenessary Kylyshbek and Cole Methorst all tallied for the Pilots. However, the Flames kept chipping away, eventually tying the game at three at 6:14 of the third period. Ridge Meadows then scored at 3:28 of overtime to earn the 4-3 win. Abbotsford outshot the Flames 42-34. The two teams met again at the MSA Arena in Abbotsford on Saturday, and the Pilots had revenge on their mind. Abbotsford jumped out to a three-goal lead in the first period, and then added four more in the second. The Pilots scored one more time in the third, before the Flames scored a pair of late goals. The 8-2 win is the goal total Abbotsford has scored this season. Jackson Waniek (three), Kevin Allen (two), Mateo Toledo, Kellan Lavallee and Guilderson all scored for the Pilots. All but three players dressed for Abbotsford recorded a point. Abbotsford’s record now stands at 22 wins, 10 losses, one tie and two overtime losses. They dropped out of first place after the weekend, with the Mission City Outlaws leapfrogging them in the Harold Brittain conference. The club next hosts the Langley Knights on Friday. Face-off is set for 7:30 p.m. at MSA Arena.

MEI girls fall to Brookswood Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News
It wasn’t easy stopping Brookswood Bobcats star Aislinn Konig, but the MEI Eagles senior girls basketball team did a better job than anyone else at the Eagles Invitational tournament final on Saturday. Konig, a North Carolina State Wolfpack recruit, was dominant all tournament long, but MEI held the Bobcats to 74 points – the lowest offensive total of the tournament for the provincially ranked number-two Langley squad. The Bobcats set the tone early, jumping out to a 11-0 lead, and the Eagles never recovered. MEI trailed 42-14 at the half, but head coach Samantha Hawkes was pleased with her young team’s efforts against Brookswood and their tournament overall. “We set a defensive goal to keep them under 80 points and they scored 74,” she said. “Our main focus really was to try and lower their scoring average.” Brookswood advanced to the tournament final with a 104-48 win over Vernon on Friday and a 96-56 win over Kelowna on Saturday morning. The Eagles posted a 59-43 win over South Kamloops on Friday and a 66-50 win over Handsworth on Saturday morning. Eagles guard Taylor Cousins led the way with 13 points in Friday’s game, and Hawkes said she and Julia Weiss were key parts to the team’s success. “They stepped up big for us, especially against Handsworth,” she said. “They’re our leaders and most experienced players and we need that as a young team.” Hawkes said the win against Handsworth was huge, as the Royals are ranked ninth in the province and the Eagles were an honourable mention heading into this weekend. “We feel a lot more legitimate because we beat a top-10 team and we proved we can compete with the best in the province,” she said. “This weekend was a big turning point for us, I feel like we’re heading in the direction we want to go.” The senior girls next compete at the Top Ten tournament in

CBC teams shut out on Vancouver Island Ben LYPKA
Abbotsford News
Vancouver Island wasn’t too friendly to the CBC Bearcats teams over the weekend, with all four teams failing to pick up a victory in eight
combined games. The men’s basketball team came closest on Saturday, losing 81-76 to the Camosun Chargers. The Bearcats had a 44-36 lead at the half, but were
then outscored 25-12 in the third quarter. Si Woo Youn had 23 points and Elijan Calhoun chipped in with 22. Umbori Watson added 16 points and nine rebounds.

The club also lost 10471 to Vancouver Island University on Friday, with Watson scoring a team-high 14 points. The men’s team is in seventh place in the Pacwest, with one win and eight losses. The women’s basketball team fell 80-51
to VIU on Friday, with Harvina Kaler contributing with 14 points. The Bearcats also lost 71-57 to the Chargers on Saturday, as Kaler again led the way with 19 points. The women’s team sits sixth in the Pacwest, with three wins and six
losses. It was more of the same for the volleyball teams, as the men lost in straight sets twice to VIU, while the women lost 3-0 on Friday, and then 3-1 on Saturday to VIU. Both the men’s and women’s volleyball

Where there is a Will: Blended families. Daniel Grice
Today’s families come in all shapes and sizes. Many couples may have children from previous relationships, and may not realize the importance of a Will in ensuring those they care about are treated fairly. Others may not realize that after two years in a marriage-like relationship, a partner becomes a spouse and gains significant inheritance rights. Under the Wills, Estates and Succession Act, special rights are given to spouses, as well as natural and adopted children (but not step children), including the rights to inheritance when there is no Will, or to challenge a Will. Sadly, after the death a parent, the relationship between children and their step parent sometimes deteriorates. To avoid a ‘Cinderella’ situation, couples can put in place clear and unequivocal language in their Wills that on the death of one, the other is bound to include the step children in their Will. This is important if a couple owns a home together or plans on giving much of their estate to their spouse. Trust agreements can allow a spouse to remain in the family res-
idence, with the proceeds of the sale distributed as an inheritance. Proper estate planning for blended families involves planning for incapacity. Families should discuss who should be making key medical and financial decisions. I sometime recommend giving a spouse and children joint authority. For instance, a medical representation agreement may require the whole family’s input regarding end of life or care home choices. Similarly, if one spouse brings extensive assets into a relationship, they may want to name both their spouse and a child as joint Power of Attorneys, with the power to make gifts or pay support to the other spouse. That way both the spouse and child will have a say over which assets may be sold, while ensuring the spouse are cared for. Whether it is incapacity planning, inheritance, or prenuptial/cohabitation agreements, the whole family benefits from communication and a written down estate plan. Daniel Grice is an estate planning lawyer at Integra Law Group.

Marshall, Canada fall short Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News
Abbotsford volleyball player Steve Marshall and his Team Canada teammates will have to keep fighting in order to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Summer Games. Canada’s hopes for qualifying early were dashed, after losing in straight sets (25-15, 2521, 25-21) to Cuba in Edmonton on Sunday night. A win against Cuba would have clinched a spot at the Olympics in the sport for Canada, something that the team hasn’t achieved since 1992. Canada, ranked 10th in the world, was the pre-tournament favourite, and beat Mexico on Friday and Puerto Rico on Saturday. The win sends Cuba, ranked 15th in the world, to the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. Canada’s Olympic hopes are still alive, as its second-place finish in the competition sees the squad advance to a second-chance tournament in Japan in May. Marshall spent four seasons with the Trinity Western University Spartans and won a Canadian Interuniversity Sport championship in 2012, before signing a contract with Poland’s Transfer Bydgoszcz in the summer of 2014. He caught the eye of Team Canada shortly after and began playing for the red and white internationally. After one year in Poland, Marshall joined Germany’s SVG Lüneburg for the 201516 campaign. He also earned a bronze medal as a part of Team Canada at the Pan-Am Games this past July.

All around the world, students and parents are drawn towards the International Baccalaureate Diploma program for its rigour, its focus on critical thinking, and its preparation for post-secondary study. Over the past many years, The University of British Columbia has been a top international destination for IB students. Since 2003, UBC has conducted numerous studies on how IB students perform in university, evaluating IB student success both inside and outside of the classroom. The results of these studies have shaped UBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IB Diploma student recruitment practices and admission policies. Parents of current and prospective IB Diploma students are invited to attend this information session with Andrew Arida, Associate Registrar and Director of Student Recruitment and Undergraduate Admissions at The University of British Columbia. Andrew will provide an overview of ten yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of research on IB student performance at UBC along with a summary of IB-related research from other universities around the world.

UFV men hand Camosun first loss From A25
We also did a good job shutting down their best hitter Michelle Zygmunt (UFV and Mouat grad).â&#x20AC;? The women continued their strong play on Saturday, disposing of the Chargers in four sets (25-18, 19-25, 25-20, 25-22). Gilray said it was a better effort for his club on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing that made it exciting for us was we played such a better volleyball game (than on Friday),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was nice to pull out the win last night, but if you look at the stats, it was a sloppy game for both sides â&#x20AC;&#x201C; low percentages hitting, bad passing stats. We had a much more consistent game today.â&#x20AC;? The pair of wins improve the women to a record of six wins and eight losses on the Pacwest season. The men also had a strong weekend, pushing the undefeated Camosun Chargers to the brink on Friday, and then handing the Chargers their first loss of the season on Saturday. UFV went to a fifth and deciding set with Camosun on Friday, and had an 8-6 lead in set five, before falling 15-12 in the final frame. Camosun won 3-2 (23-25, 25-21, 21-25, 25-22, 15-12), and it was the second time this season that the Cascades lost in five sets to the Chargers. However, that would change on Saturday, as UFV got over the hump and handed the Chargers their first loss (21-25, 26-24, 2522, 19-25, 15-9) of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gives us huge momentum and confidence going forward,â&#x20AC;? said Cascades head coach Kyle Donen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just one game in the second seDONEN mester, and we know if we can string a few more like that together, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll mean more when it comes to the playoffs and everything else. For us to beat that team, and to do it the way we did, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll mean a lot for these guys.â&#x20AC;? The win moves the Cascadesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; record to eight wins and six losses, and they sit third in the Pacwest. Both the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams hit the road starting on Friday, when they travel to Nanaimo to take on the Vancouver Island University Mariners. The next home game for the teams is on Jan. 30, when the College of the Rockies Avalanche come to Abbotsford.

Left to honour Heather’s life are her sister, Linda (Stan) Racyzinski; sisters-inlaw: Carol (Con) Chalifour and Linda Bergen; her children: Jason, Raelene (Trevor) Harder, Lalaine (Geoff) Cuddie: and step-children: Rod Bergen, Pamela (Owen) Schutz, and Sayde Bergen.

Hilda María (Janzen) Goertzen was born on December 28, 1949, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the age of eleven, she immigrated with her mother to Wembley, Alberta. Five years later, she, her mother and step-father moved to Chilliwack, BC. There she met Peter Goertzen, who would become the love of her life. They were married in 1969 and moved to Winnipeg, where she began to raise her family. The next two decades brought them to Waterloo, Ontario, back to Chilliwack, and to southern Manitoba again. During these years, she was very involved in the arts. In music, she helped establish the Chilliwack Music Academy, sang in various choirs and ensembles, and conducted children’s choirs. Other artistic endeavours included pottery, calligraphy, folk art, knitting, photography and painting. In 1987, Hilda and her family settled in the Fraser Valley where she began to paint seriously. She also taught piano and voice lessons, explored family history, wrote stories, poetry and songs and, with Peter, developed a passion for travel. From her Rosedale home, she loved to careen through the local countryside on her bicycle. She was always aware of the colours and beauty around her, so prominent in her paintings, her photos and the clothes she wore. For all her interests, her family, friends and unassuming faith were dearest to her. After a five-year battle with lymphoma, Hilda died peacefully at the Cascade Hospice in Chilliwack on Tuesday, January 5, 2016 at the age of sixty-six. She was the loving wife of Peter for forty-six years and mother of Andrea (Byron) and Michael, and grandmother of Zachary and Caleb and sister of Juan. She was predeceased by her parents Johann and Katharina Janzen, stepfather Cornie Janzen, and sister Erica Klassen. A celebration of Hilda’s life will be held at Eden Mennonite Church, 46551 Chilliwack Central Road, Chilliwack, on Friday, January 15, 2016 at 2:30 pm, viewing at 11:30 at the church and internment at 1:00 pm at the Chilliwack Cemetery (Little Mountain). In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be given to the Mennonite Historical Society of BC or Mennonite Central Committee. Online condolences to the family may be made to:
