Nobody was injured when shots were fired at a home on Deertrail Avenue in Abbotsford early Sunday morning. Const. Ian MacDonald said police are “extremely concerned” about the incident and the threat it posed to public safety. But while the incident occurred in the Townline Hill area, MacDonald said police do not believe it is connected to the ongoing gang conflict there that has resulted in several shootings and two murders. The latest shooting took place at about 5:45 a.m. Sunday, when the Abbotsford Police Department received calls reporting gunfire in the 31000 block of Deertrail Avenue – located just west of Townline Road. MacDonald said about six shots were fired, and officers who arrived on the scene discovered that a home in the area had been struck by three bullets, which entered a living room and kitchen. MacDonald wasn’t sure how many people were in the home, but all were sleeping at the time and nobody was hit by the shots. He said none of the residents of the home is known to police, and they are co-operating with investigators. Neighbours reported hearing a vehicle quickly flee the street, and surveillance video Continued on A3

Every aspect of my experience was exceptional. The average car salesman could learn a lot from JP. I live 50 minutes from Magnuson and drive past 3 Ford stores on the way. I look forward to making the drive again for my next Ford purchase.

School district faced with $4.5 million deficit Rising costs outstrip increased revenue from enrolment Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
The Abbotsford School District will draw heavily on its cash reserves as it faces a larger-than-expected shortfall in its amended 2016 budget. While higher enrolment numbers brought more per-student funding from the provincial government, those increases weren’t enough to make up for increased instructional expenses. The district now expects to use nearly $4.5 million from its accumulated surplus reserves to balance its budget. That total is nearly twice the number expected when the district passed its first budget, prior
to receiving the Ministry of Education’s operating grant for the year. The district received $2.5 million in extra provincial funding, but saw costs increase by double that number. That money went to raises for principals and vice-principals, an increased number of special needs education assistants, and costs associated with vendor contracts and the implementation of the Next Generation Network, a province-wide improvement to school’s technology infrastructure. Money from the district’s operating fund, which stood at $12.1 million at the beginning of the year, will be used to offset the deficit. But as the district gets set to prepare its 2016-17 budget, secre-
tary-treasurer Ray Velestuk knows the budget will have to be balanced soon. The district will hold a public information meeting March 3 at 7 p.m. in the Community Library conference room at Abbotsford Senior Secondary. A follow-up meeting will be held April 13 at 7 p.m. at the school district’s offices. Beyond funding for teachers’ pay raises, Velestuk said the Ministry of Education budget shows little increase in funding to help school districts with additional costs. Velestuk said that means the district will likely have to make some budget cuts. “We’re going to have to get rid of this $4.5 million deficit at some point,” he said.

Judge strikes down ban on homegrown medical marijuana Tom Fletcher Black Press
The Federal Court of Canada has struck down regulations requiring licensed medical marijuana users to buy from Ottawaapproved growers, giving people the green light to continue growing at home. The ruling is suspended for six months, but the four B.C. residents who launched the court challenge had their growing licences protected under an earlier interim order. Thousands of people in B.C. and across Canada received licences to either grow pot themselves or designate someone else to do it, before the Conservative government attempted to restrict production to large commercial growers who sent it by mail. With Prime Minister Justin Trudeau intent on legalizing recreational marijuana use, Kirk Tousaw, a lawyer for the four, says the latest ruling should “once and for all end the stigmatization and criminalization” for medical users and their
providers. “And in addition, all pending criminal cases against medical cannabis producers, patients, growers and dispensaries should be immediately terminated,” Tousaw told CTV Wednesday. The court challenge was brought by four different people, including 39-year-old Abbotsford resident Shawn Davey, who suffered a brain injury in a motor vehicle accident and receives a federal disability pension. He held licences to grow for himself and as a designated grower for others, authorizing him to produce 122 plants indoors and store 5,490 grams at the site of production. Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy’s firm represented the plaintiffs in the case. In a statement issued late last week, Abbotsford Conservative MP Ed Fast said he was “deeply disappointed” in the decision, in which Federal Court Judge Michael Phelan ruled that preventing people from growing marijuana for medical purposes
violates section seven of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees “the right to life, liberty and security of the person.” Fast said the rules introduced by his Conservative government aimed to “balance legitimate access to medical marijuana against our goal of keeping our communities safe and of preventing marijuana from falling into the hands of youth.” He said illegal grow-ops posed a danger to the community, due both to fire and safety aspects issues, and because of what Fast said was their frequent association with organized crime. “Abbotsford has been a hotbed of marijuana grow-ops, and my residents will no doubt be quite angry that the court has essentially dismissed their concerns,” he said. “This ruling potentially sets a precedent for the manufacture within private homes of other dangerous drugs. This is not a road we should be travelling down.” – with files from Tyler Olsen

Time to take MSP off life support Tom
Fletcher
B.C. Views The B.C. Liberal government made a big show of selectively easing Medical Services Plan fees in its budget for the coming election year. In what is becoming a pattern for Premier Christy Clark, the biggest beneficiaries are single parents. The new MSP is calculated for adults only, so a single parent with two children saves as much as $1,200 a year. Premium assistance is expanded, with discounts for single people making up to $42,000, rather than $30,000. But for singles, couples and seniors who don’t qualify for discounts, the rate is going up another four per cent effective Jan. 1, 2017. Indeed, with population growth, the finance ministry expects its take from MSP premiums to rise every year, reaching $2.5 billion in the coming years.
MSP revenue covers about 17 per cent of B.C.’s health budget, and Clark and Finance Minister Mike de Jong insist that Canada’s only direct health care charge is a vital signal to people that health care isn’t free. This argument has failed. One seldom-discussed fact is that for half of the people charged MSP, it’s paid by their employers. In private sector terms it’s a hefty payroll tax, creating one more obstacle for businesses to hire full-time staff with benefits. So most full-time employees don’t receive this supposedly vital signal, unless they get laid off because their employer is losing money. Also note that politicians and public sector employees have never paid MSP premiums. Their employers, taxpayers, pick up the tab for them. People who have to pay out of pocket are what the bureaucracy calls “pay direct accounts.” Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation recently revealed that nearly 400,000 of these accounts are currently in arrears by more than 30 days, owing a grand total of $457 million. Of course, this is Canada, so even if you
haven’t paid or even registered for MSP, you still get treatment at the hospital. Another potential signal lost in the noise. For people who lose their jobs, MSP is like being kicked when they are down. Their employer stops paying, and the slow-moving bureaucracy charges them based on their
For people who lose their jobs, MSP is like being kicked when they are down. income from the previous year. There was a fuss in 2004 after the B.C. Liberals contracted out MSP administration to a Virginia-based back-office specialist, delightfully named Maximus Corporation. Now Maximus goes after delinquent MSP accounts with collection agency tactics, and attempts to keep up with the comings and goings from other provinces and countries. Opposition parties decry the continued inequity of the MSP premium system, which charges the same for a single person making

$45,000 or $450,000 a year. NDP leader John Horgan rails about inequality and accuses Clark of using MSP revenues to establish her prosperity “slush fund,” but he stops short of calling for the elimination of MSP premiums. One would expect the NDP to lead another “axe the tax” campaign, as they did with the carbon tax and the HST, but they aren’t. Perhaps this is because workers for this unnecessary Maximus machine remain members of the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union. Green Party leader Andrew Weaver has it right. He staged a popular petition drive to roll MSP premiums into income tax. If the government wants to send a message, it can interrupt its continuous “Jobs Plan” advertising. Scrapping MSP and raising income tax rates on higher brackets to compensate would fix the private sector payroll deterrent, make salaried employees (including me) pay their share, and end a tax break for the wealthy. Don’t hold your breath. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc 34375 Gladys Ave., Abbotsford, B.C. V2S 2H5

Cascades swept by UBC Abbotsford News
Saturday marked the end of the road for the UFV Cascades women’s basketball team, after being swept by the UBC Thunderbirds with losses on home court on Friday and Saturday. UBC eliminated UFV on Saturday with an 84-78 win, in a game that the Cascades had several chances to win. The Cascades were up 76-73 with 32 seconds left after a Kayli Sartori lay-up gave them a fourth quarter cushion. UBC scored on their next possession, and the Cascades turned the ball over before committing a foul. UBC made one of two fouls shots and UFV couldn’t score the winning shot on their final possession. Overtime saw both
teams remain scoreless for the first 2:30, and UBC slowly took the five-minute period over to win game two and eliminate the Cascades. Three-point shooting was an issue for the Cascades, as they made only three of 17 attempts, compared to the five of 12 made by UBC. Sartori had a strong game, with 18 points, 14 rebounds and five steals, but also missed 13 of 19 shots. Taylor Claggett added 18 points and nine rebounds. Sydney Williams was solid off the bench, with 14 points, while Shayna Cameron, playing in her final college basketball game, added 14 points and seven rebounds. Game one on Friday saw the Cascades fall 62-48.
Turnovers plagued the Cascades, as they committed 26, and also missed eight free throw attempts. Sartori was the Cascades’ top player in game one,

V-ball season ends The seasons are over for the UFV men’s and women’s volleyball teams. The clubs participated in the Pacwest Provincial Tournament, which ran from Thursday to Saturday at Columbia Bible College. The women scored an upset victory over the Douglas College Royals on Thursday, winning in four sets (29-27, 1925, 25-18, 25-21). The win advanced them to the final four on Friday, where they fell in four sets (25-21, 25-23, 2517, 25-10) to the VIU Mariners. The women started off hot against the Mariners, and led 23-22 late in the second set but the Mariners rallied to win. The Cascades then lost 3-0 (25-15, 2522, 25-19) on Saturday in the bronze medal game to the Capilano Blues. Despite the elimination, women’s head coach Mike Gilray said he’s optimistic about the future of his team. “Every point that we got to play here gives us experience for next season,” he said. “Being able to get some rookies some playoff experience only helps in the long run. It’ll make us a better team.” The men’s team suffered an upset 3-1 loss (25-23, 16-25, 25-23, 2624) to the College of the

McDONALD Brianne Setsuko It is with profound sorrow, we announce the tragic passing of Brianne, on February 11, 2016, at the age of 27. She is predeceased by her grandfather, Jim McDonald, grandmother Setsuko (Liz) Yokoyama, Aunt Barbara Beharrell and cousin Russell Beharrell. She is survived by her loving parents, Stuart and Colleen, brother Colin, grandmother Annie McDonald, uncles and aunts, John and Sharon Yokoyama, Murray and Jeanette McDonald, cousins Jo-Anne, Pat and Avery McGurk, Katherine McDonald, Ken, Bobbi, Madison and Taylor McDonald. Brianne graduated from Rick Hansen Secondary in 2006 and was presently enrolled at UFV taking the Practical Nursing Program, she would have finished in June. While going to school full time, she also worked part time at A.V.P., a veterinary supply company. During her childhood Brianne was involved in various activities. One was music. At the age of 8, she started piano lessons at the Sound of Music, and over the years won many awards at recitals. She also enjoyed playing sports. She played soccer with the Abbotsford Association for many years, then the Clearbrook F.C. Jr. ladies team which won the Gold Cup in the Provincial Tournament. The last couple years she returned to play with the women’s soccer team “Lightning.” Her other sport, which was her favourite, was softball (fast pitch). She started at the age of 5-19 and played with the Abbotsford Association as well as the Bradner Community Club. Then she carried on playing Jr. ladies with the team, Abby Chaos, then Abby Fireballs and then finally her current team, Abby Chargers. Throughout these years she met and made many lifelong friends. We will miss her smile, that hearty laugh but mostly just her presence. Our family would like to thank all of our friends for giving us comfort and support during these dark days. Words cannot express our gratitude. Come join us for a Celebration of Brianne’s Life on March 10, 2016 at Bradner Hall - 5305 Bradner Rd., Abbotsford, BC, at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to a charity of your choice in the memory of Brianne.

She is survived by her brother, Harry (Martha) Dosso, Victoria and sister, Edna (Lloyd) Mackey, Surrey, ten nieces and nephews and her MacKenzie step-family. Hilda was born in 1930 and grew up on a farm near Gull Lake, Saskatchewan. It was in her youth that she accepted Christ as her Saviour. In 1947 her family moved to a small farm in Chilliwack, BC. She completed her High School in Vancouver; graduated from Briercrest Bible College in Caronport, Saskatchewan; and later became a Licensed Practical Nurse. She worked at Woodlands School, New Westminster; Virginia Mason Hospital and Group Health Hospital, both in Seattle. Her interest in Christian Missions led to terms of service at the Japanese Evangelical Mission in Three Hills, Alberta, and at World Missions to Children in Grants Pass, Oregon. In 1975 she married Donald MacKenzie whom she had met in Seattle. A short time later, they moved to Fort St. John where they operated a janitorial service for 20 years.

Upon her husband’s passing in 2006, she took up residence at the Menno Terrace East Assisted Living suites in Abbotsford, and lived there until two weeks before her death which occurred in adjacent Menno Hospital. Many thanks are extended to the staff at Terrace East, Menno Hospital, Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Dr. James Warkentin and Gateway Health and Wellness Centre, for care given especially during her final weeks.

You will never guess what happened? A few nights ago I was playing recreation hockey and during a scrimmage, I got a stick in the mouth. So, I’m injured & hurting and had to pay a visit to the local dentist. If you see me with a big fat lip you’ll now know what happened.
Howdy folks... Frank here... Hope you are all well.
