Pipeline: Landowners cite contaminated soil, flooded fields Group wants ongoing compensation from Kinder Morgan Abbotsford News
Fraser Valley farmers say they have had their soil contaminated, their fields flooded and been harassed by the operator of the Trans Mountain Pipeline. Now they want payback. The allegations by members of the Collaborative Group of Landowners Affected by Pipelines (CGLAP) are contained in the group’s written submission to the National Energy Board (NEB), which will decide in the spring on whether to allow Kinder Morgan Canada to twin the pipeline, nearly tripling its capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil and other petroleum products per day. The group, which comprises rural Fraser Valley property owners who control 79 pieces of land through which about 60 kilometres of the pipeline runs, told the NEB that the pipeline affects their ability to farm. And while the group said they are not opposed to the pipeline, they told the NEB that Kinder Morgan Canada should compensate them on an annual basis. They also asked the NEB to order Kinder Morgan to follow through on assurances to protect the quality of farmers’ land. “CGLAP members and
their ancestors have been dealing with inconvenience, and sometimes harassment, relating to the existing pipeline on their properties which Trans Mountain has been using for over 60 years,” the group said in its submission. Peter Reus, the president
of the group, said Kinder Morgan should realize the landowners “want to be partners with them.” With the provincial government saying they won’t yet support the pipeline application, Reus said, “They need friends.” The CGLAP submission

field without notice. Another farmer, Ian Cooke, said Kinder Morgan unilaterally decided to flood one of his fields nearly a decade ago. He said he returned home one day to find that water was being pumped by Kinder Morgan from a dike onto his property, forming a lake that he said covered about 20 acres on the back of his farm. He said he was later told by a Kinder Morgan representative that the company was repairing a valve and had decided to pump water onto his property because it had been declined permission to discharge it towards the Vedder River. Pearl Singleton alleged that she had been “harassed” by Kinder Morgan helicopters flying over her property and scaring her animals. She said the flights took place daily for a period of time, and although they have been curtailed somewhat, they still happen once or twice a week. In her affidavit, Singleton said a Trans Mountain agent came to her home in 2012 to reach an agreement on access for surveying. She said the agent was “aggressive, and tried to belittle and bully” her. The group also says Kinder Morgan has failed to adequately cover the costs its pipeline imposes on landowners. Farmer Phillip Graham said improper handling of his soils in 2001 hurt his crops for more than a decade, but that it wasn’t until 2014 that he received partial compensation for his losses. The landowners asked the NEB to require Kinder Morgan to follow through on assurances that it will do its best to protect the quality of the soil on their land, mitigate the effects of the use of heavy machinery, and compensate farmers for any crop losses. The group also expressed worries that, once constructed, the pipeline would raise temperature levels in the area and impact
growing conditions. The group also asked the NEB to reconsider rules surrounding its “safety zone,” which extends 30 metres on either side of the 18-metre-wide right-of-way. The landowners say the zone, and a maze of rules dictating how land on it and the right-of-way can be used, imposes significant costs. The group has been in negotiations with Kinder Morgan for some time, but the sticking point has been the CGLAP’s insistence on ongoing annual payments, instead of a one-time sum. In their submission, they suggest that compensation to landowners should “be fair, and even generous, because of the meager historical compensation which these landowners were given for the past 63 years’ use of their lands.” CGLAP is asking for $2,500 per acre per year for the use of their land, plus a sum calculated on the amount of material being pumped along the pipeline, which will carry diluted bitumen from Alberta’s oil sands. They suggest that the owner of a three-acre parcel of land crossed by a 500-metre stretch of pipeline should be entitled to an annual payment of just under $10,000. Under such a formula, Kinder Morgan would be required to pay out $258,420 every year to CGLAP members. In discussions with other local landowners, the company has offered one-time compensation based on a percentage of the value of land, as well as the workspace needed. One property owner told The News he was offered around 60 per cent of the value of his land that would be included in the pipeline easement. Asked to comment on the affidavits, the pipeline company emailed a statement that said, in part: “Trans Mountain works with landowners along its pipeline network with the goal of treating each landowner fairly and equitably.”

Music video addresses local gang violence Amrit Saggu is saddened by what he has seen occurring in his west Abbotsford neighbourhood. Young men with whom he went to school have turned to criminal activity to attain a lifestyle they believe brings them prestige and respect, but which is harming the community around them. Saggu saw police cars lining his street – Sandpiper Drive – last August after a car was shot up in a driveway as part of the Townline Hill conflict, which involves two groups of young men in a violent battle for drug turf in west Abbotsford. But nothing hit Saggu harder than the needless death on Sept. 2 of Ping Shun Ao, 74, who was killed by a stray bullet intended for his neighbour on Promontory Court. “When that happened, my heart went out to the family. It’s everybody’s grandfather. It’s so sad to hear.” So Saggu, a hip-hop artist who performs under the name Saint Soldier, wanted to spread a message of hope and inspiration the best way he knows how – by making music. Saggu has written a song titled “A Stray” that, with an accompanying music video,
Submitted photo
Abbotsford hip hop artist Amrit Saggu, who performs under the name Saint Soldier, has released a music video that addresses youth gang involvement. was released Jan. 8 on his YouTube channel. The tune was inspired by the Townline Hill conflict and tells the story of a young man who is lured into gang life and faces tragic consequences. Saggu said the title refers both to “a stray” bullet and “a stray” child. He said he hopes that young men who are teetering on the edge of such activity will think about the potential consequences before making the wrong decision.
He also hopes that those already immersed in the lifestyle will reflect on their actions, forgive themselves and change their ways. Saggu, who was born in India but has lived in Canada since he was a baby, said most of his music is spiritual in nature and tackles tough social and cultural issues such as gendercide. He said he was driven to write about the Townline Hill conflict as a means of “trying to understand what drives the madness in others.”
Firefighters may get overdose antidote Naloxone reverses the effect of opiate OD Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
Firefighters may soon be allowed to carry a key life-saving antidote for someone who has overdosed. B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake had been expected to announce Friday that the province was mandating that firefighters carry naloxone, or Narcan, which when injected in an overdosing patient will quickly neutralize the effects of opiates, including heroin and fentanyl. The announcement was later cancelled, but is expected to take place at a later date. Proponents say the legislation will save
lives. “Unnecessary deaths occur and we can prevent this,” Warm Zone outreach worker Erica Thompson told The News last summer. In 2015, Abbotsford saw a number of people unwittingly ingest fentanyl, a drug 50 times more powerful than morphine. The result is often death. According to Abbotsford Fire Chief Don Beer, firefighters attended 186 overdoses last year. Often, they were first on the scene. Because a prescription is required to possess naloxone, firefighters, police officers and the family and friends of users

haven’t been able to carry it, although the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control said last summer that Health Canada was reviewing those restrictions. Workarounds have seen family and friends of users being trained in the antidote’s use. The province is eventually expected to require all first responders to carry and be able to administer naloxone. That will eventually include police, but it’s expected training will be necessary, and law enforcement might use the nasal spray naloxone instead of injection. – files from Kevin Diakiw/Black Press

“In this video, we try to portray what might lead one into this lifestyle, and what devastation could result from it.” Saggu wrote the song just three days after Ao’s death and teamed up with music producer Dj Hark, also of Abbotsford, to put together the video. The importance of their work was emphasized one evening when they were at Hark’s home working on the storyline. They ventured outside for a walk and saw several police cars in the area. “We’re looking around at our neighbourhood and said, ‘What is going on here?’ ” Saggu said he is fortunate to have been raised by parents who encouraged open dialogue and urged him toward a “spiritual path” in order to find happiness within himself. But he believes the young men caught up in the Townline Hill issues don’t have similar support. “I think a lot of families are being blinded by the money their kids are bringing in … I think their parents are being pretty ignorant about (the criminal activity).” A Stray also features cinematography by Rav Gill and video editing by Paul Alamwala. It can be viewed on YouTube by searching “Saint Soldier – A Stray.”

A new low-cost airline that had announced it will offer direct flights from Abbotsford to Winnipeg and Saskatoon starting Feb. 12 has postponed its plans. NewLeaf Travel Company stated in a press release that its flights across Canada are “temporarily postponed” pending a Canadian Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Agency (CTA) review of licensing regulations for indirect air service providers. Chief executive officer Jim Young said all credit card transactions will be refunded for reservations that were scheduled to begin Feb. 12. “During this uncertain time, we didn’t want to put anyone with existing bookings at risk, and we wanted to give customers time to make other travel arrangements,” Young said. He said the airline launched on Jan. 6 because it was confirmed that NewLeaf was in full compliance with CTA licensing regulations, and the company was given an exemption from holding a licence directly while the agency reviewed its legislation.

Naloxone a life-saver Indications that the province of British Columbia will allow firefighters to carry naloxone, also known as Narcan, is welcome. The drug is known as the “antidote” to opiate overdose, and can reverse the otherwise deadly effects of ingesting too much heroin and/or fentanyl. Despite often being first on the scene of overdoses, firefighters, police officers and others who don’t have a required prescription for naloxone have thus far been banned from carrying the drug. Addressing that is a move that is long overdue, given the stakes involved and the safe nature of Naloxone. It is available over the counter in more than a dozen U.S. states, and hospitals here have been using the drug for more than four decades. Earlier this summer, Health Canada promised that it would review the drug’s prescription-only status, although a full process was expected to take more than a year. Whatever the outcome of that review,
the fact that it’s only being done now – after too many deaths from accidental overdoses – shows that our society, and our government institutions, still have much they can do to help those on the fringes who have frequently been overlooked. Opiate use affects a far greater number of Abbotsford residents than the casual observer may know. While the drugs drive some into a life of homelessness and property crime, they are also used by husbands and mothers, sons and daughters, employees and bosses who conduct lives not stereotypically associated with hard drug use. In cases of overdose, all of those people – those on the fringes, and those in the mainstream – deserve the best shot at life, and the best opportunity at eventually overcoming their addictions. The quicker the province moves on this initiative, for all emergency responders, the better.

Fundraisers are taking place in Abbotsford to help a family whose home was damaged in a fire on New Year’s Eve. The fire took place in the kitchen of a home on Hawthorne Avenue. The residence was shared by mom Monica Davis and her three children – two boys, ages 12 and 17, and a girl, age 20 – as well as three dogs and her daughter’s boyfriend. Although no one was injured in the blaze, they lost most of their possessions. Friend Karie Lanji said the family did not have insurance, and the home which they owned is uninhabitable due to fire, smoke and water damage. “They were able to save some clothing and pet supplies. However, everything else is gone,” she said. Lanji said the family was initially in need of an affordable place to rent, but staff at city hall were able to find them a new residence, and they moved in early this week. A burger and brew night to raise money for the family takes place Saturday, Jan. 23 at Sneakers Sports Lounge, starting at 7 p.m. Cost is $20, and the event includes door prizes, a toonie toss and live music by REV. Donations of gift cards are also being collected for items such as food, gas, clothing, toiletries, household items and pet items. Cash donations will go toward furniture, including beds, a living room suite, lamps, tables, dressers and chairs. For tickets to the burger and brew night, or to make arrangements for a donation, calling Annette at 604309-2023 or Karie at 604-817-6442. Yale Secondary’s Grade 10 leadership students are also helping out the family by hosting a toonie drive all this week (Jan. 18 to 22).

The City of Abbotsford, in partnership with Abbotsford Community Foundation and the Vancouver Foundation, has introduced a new Neighbourhood Spirit Small Grants Funds Program. It will provide funding for small projects that help residents become more connected and engaged with their neighbourhoods. “This program will not only support initiatives in local neighbourhoods but it will bring people together and strengthen their sense of belonging to their neighbourhood and to their city,” said Susan McAlevy, Abbotsford Community Foundation Executive Director. “Whatever the project, the result will be stronger relationships that will serve that neighbourhood and its residents long after the project is complete.” All residents and community champions with an idea to help support their neighbourhoods or increase the livability near where they live can apply for these grants. Grants will be offered in amounts from $500 to $1,000 and are available in four categories: • Community Connections • Neighbourhood Beautification • Child and Youth Engagement • Neighbourhood Safety To apply for a Neighbourhood Spirit Small Grant, or to read the guidelines, visit abbotsford.ca/neighbourhoods. For more information about the Neighbourhood Spirit Small Grants Funds Program, or to get help with a project or idea, contact the community developer at 604-5571464 or commdevelopment@abbotsford.ca.

Documentary features folk band Oh Village
“Bees gas assault a leper?”
Created by Abby filmmaker Playing folk songs may be easy, but creating a documentary isn’t necessarily so, as Abbotsford filmmaker Aaron Dawson discovered this year. The upcoming documentary Playing Folk Songs is Easy about the band Oh Village was nearly a year in the making and a labour of love for Dawson, who calls the band members friends. The film will have its debut screening on Saturday, Jan. 23 at 7 p.m. in the chapel at Columbia Bible College, 2940 Clearbrook Rd. “Making a documentary is so different from creating a narrative film because it’s not scripted,” Dawson said. “You know what you want as a filmmaker, but you don’t actually know what you’re going to get. It’s a little scary.” Dawson said that same quality also makes for an interesting process because it leaves room for surprises. Along with interviews of the band members, the documentary also includes footage of the band recording at Afterlife Studios (formerly Mushroom Studios) in Vancouver as they worked on their sophomore album, Ocris. Scott Currie, lead singer and keyboardist for Oh Village, said the documentary will give fans insight into the band. Having a good friend create the documentary meant that the band members could be themselves and not feel that they had to impress the filmmaker in any way. “I think fans will see how much we care about what we make and how much time it takes to create what we do,” Currie said. “I think the interviews also tell a lot about us.” The screening on Jan. 23 includes an acoustic set of music from some of the Oh Village band members and a
question-and-answer session with the band and filmmaker. Cost is $7 at the door. The new album Ocris will also be available for purchase. For more information, visit ohvillage.com.

in developing community awareness. Students are taught about philanthropy and charity as part of their Planning 10 course at Mouat. In teams, they research social issues in the community and create a presentation on a local charity they believe is best placed to tackle an issue for which they are passionate. The YPI semi-finals involve the winning team from each class making a 10-minute presentation in front of a larger audience and panel of judges. Students at this year’s event represented six charities. Second place went to Ravneet Dhaliwal, Tajinder Dhadda, Amreet Dhaliwal, Geiti Joubble, and Alice Shan for their presentation on Zajac Ranch. Other charities represented were the Canadian Cancer Society, Semiahmoo House Society, Abbotsford Hospice Society and Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley. In June, the second-semester semifinals will be held, with the winner advancing to the finals later that day against the first-semester winners. The top team wins a $5,000 grant for their charity provided by the Toskan Casale Foundation in association with YPI’s partners and donors. Schools interested in the program must apply and have their application reviewed and approved before they can participate. More information is available at goypi.org.

overall. Other local teams’ showings included: the Abby Panthers (sixth), the W. J. Mouat Hawks (ninth), the Bateman Timberwolves (11th) and the MEI Eagles (12th). For three quarters on Saturday’s final game, the Owls ran with the Knights, but Mount Vernon’s defensive pressure finally broke Kelowna in the fourth. Fueled by tournament most valuable player Noah Morgan and his 38 points, the Knights turned it on in the fourth quarter and won 104-87. Knights head coach Bob Cimmino said his team had to recommit to defence in the second half to win. “At halftime we stressed that we had to stop cheating defensively,” he said. “Every time we would cheat and reach, they would burn us. They really pushed us today. This wasn’t an average performance from us. Our kids had to step up to beat a quality team like Kelowna.”

Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford Pilots’ unbeaten 2016 calendar year continued on the weekend, with wins on Friday and Sunday. Abbotsford hosted the Langley Knights on Friday, and posted a dominant 7-1 win.
The Pilots scored four unanswered goals over the game’s first two periods before Langley got on the board. Abbotsford added three more in the game’s final frame. Kevin Allen (two), Cole Methorst, Dryden Michaud, Jackson Waniek, Erik Olson
and Francis Bamford all scored for the Pilots. Devon Becker, Mitchell Plevy, Sean Olson and Hayden Guilderson each recorded a pair of assists. Abbotsford goalie Jacob Crawford stopped 24 of 25 shots

to post the win. The Pilots returned to the ice on Sunday, traveling to Burnaby to take on the Grandview Steelers. Sean Olson opened the scoring in the first period, with Mateo Toldeo and Michaud scoring in the second to give the Pilots the 3-0 win. The Pilots killed off all five penalties they received, and outshot the Steelers 29-27. Crawford earned his first-ever shutout in the Pacific Junior Hockey League, stopping all 27 shots he faced. The Pilots have not lost in regulation
time since Dec. 18, and have a record of six wins and one overtime loss in 2016 action. The pair of wins helped Abbotsford keep pace with the first-place Mission City Outlaws in the Harold Brittain conference. Both clubs have 53 points, but Mission has one more win than Abbotsford. The Pilots host the Outlaws on Friday, with top spot in the conference up for grabs. Faceoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at the MSA Arena. For more information on the team, visit abbotsfordpilots.com.

Peter was born in New Westminster and grew up in Burnaby until the age of 6. The family then moved to Abbotsford where he resided until 1995. He then moved to Kelowna. While living in Kelowna, Peter began attending Victory Life Fellowship and later Rutland 7th Day Adventist and Son Valley Fellowship churches where he found peace with his Heavenly Father through Jesus. After high school, Peter began working in the restaurant industry and soon became an amazing chef. His family and friends benefited greatly from his cooking talent. He worked in many different restaurants including a period of time in Alaska. While living in Kelowna, he decided to change his vocation and started working as a surveyor’s assistant at Pilling and Associates. For the last five or so years he became a driveway specialist repairing and sealing asphalt and concrete driveways. Peter loved sports, playing hockey as a goalie in his youth and later playing golf and tennis. He loved watching hockey and football and was an avid Canucks, Lions and Seahawks fan. He also loved music and played the piano and organ beautifully. He was very talented and had an amazing mind. He could do anything he put his mind to.
