Manslaughter sentence looms in Hans case ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

Plenty of security as anxious family and friends await judgement

ing (visit www.abbotsfordtimes. com for his decision). Hans, an 18-year-old Rick Hansen Secondary student, was just weeks away from graduating when his throat was slashed in a fight outside his home in the 31600 block of Ridgeview Drive in the early hours of May 24, 2008. Following an outburst yesterday, in which a member of the Hans family yelled a slur at Brar, Justice Grist warned everyone attending court that untoward comments or actions would be deemed breaches of the peace.

ore than half a dozen sheriffs stood watch over a tense, packed courtroom in Chilliwack yesterday at the sentencing hearing for one of the men accused in the 2008 stabbing death of Abbotsford teenager Harvey Hans. Shavinder “Shevy” Brar, originally charged with murder, pleaded guilty to manslaughter on June 10 and appeared in Chilliwack Supreme Court for his sentencing hearing. Justice William Grist is expected to hand Brar his sentence this morn-

“This was a cowardly act . . . a deliberate act of unnecessary violence.” – Carolyn Lawlor Crown counsel

Crown counsel Jim Barbour told court that the melee outside of Hans’ home was sparked by a dispute the victim had earlier in the evening with Brar’s younger brother.

Brar heard about the altercation and arranged to go to the Hans’ family home and confront him. Neighbours told police they woke up to see a number of men arrive, and saw two men walking in front of the home “huffing and puffing.” They said they overheard a man called “Sunny” telling Brar to punch Hans real quick and that he’d “shank him.” They also said the man pulled out a blade and showed it to Brar. Hans eventually came home with three friends in a white pickup. The witnesses then said that upon

getting out of the truck, Hans was punched, Tasered and “swarmed” by a group on the front lawn and that they saw “blood everywhere.” The victim’s family emerged from the house, at which point Brar threw a lawn ornament at Hans’ brother Steve, but instead struck Hans’ mother in the forehead. Police arrived to find Hans collapsed on the lawn bleeding profusely. The slash from the murder weapon was forceful enough to completely sever Hans’ esophagus, trachea, and an artery to his head. see TRIAL, page A10

Both of the women were nominated for the Betty Urquhart Community Service Award because they e a c h g i v e t i re l e s s l y t o improve the quality of life for people in their towns.

Her husband, an innocent bystander, was killed; now RCMP officers’ alleged acts threaten the case ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

he wife of one of the innocent victims in the Surrey Six murders is shocked by the alleged actions of RCMP officers investigating the case charged Wednesday for improper conduct, including having an affair with a potential witness.

“I can’t live in anger. It’s been 3 1/2 years and you can’t live that way.” – Lois Schellenberg widow

Lois Schellenberg, whose 55-yearold husband Ed was murdered while fixing a gas fireplace in the apartment where the gangland murder took place, said she feels let down by the officers’ behaviour. “It’s really disappointing considering the scope of the investigation, and the number of people involved . . . that you would be that selfish to do something like this,” said the Abbotsford resident. The officers’ actions don’t only threaten the case, but all the work put into the investigation by their colleagues, she added. “It’s about the integrity of the police department, and the other officers putting in countless hours to prove these people are guilty.” Six men were killed in the gangland slaying at a Surrey apartment tower in 2007, including the two bystanders caught in the violence: Ed, Lois’s husband of 28 years, and Chris Mohan, 22, of Surrey. T h e a t t o r n e y g e n e ra l’s o f f i c e announced last week that four officers investigating the Surrey Six slaying are

Lois Schellenberg’s husband, 55-yearold Ed Schellenberg, was an innocent victim in the 2007 Surrey Six murders.

facing 20 criminal charges. Sgt. Derek Brassington, the officer at the centre of the controversy, is facing seven charges, including breach of trust, obstruction of justice, fraud, claiming expenses to which he was not entitled and compromising and endangering the witness. His supervisor at the time of the alleged misconduct, Staff Sgt. Dave Attew, is facing six counts, including breach of trust, fraud and obstruction of justice. Two other officers, Cpl. Paul Johnson and Cpl. Danny Michaud, have been charged with breach of trust, obstruction of justice and misleading investigators from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) who were looking into the allegations against Brassington. RCMP Chief Supt. Janice Armstrong said Thursday she was deeply disappointed in the alleged actions of the officers who were all senior, experienced members. All four officers have been suspended

with pay, but a move is underway to change that status to suspended without pay. Schellenberg said she was not surprised by the charges, as she has been kept apprised of the investigations into the officers since the allegations surfaced in early 2010. However, she was baffled such senior officers would think they could keep the alleged improprieties under wraps. “It’s not like [the officer] was a rookie,” she said. “They are investigators and they know you can’t keep secrets when an investigation is underway.” The four officers are expected to make their first appearances in Surrey provincial court on July 11. Abbotsford resident and Red Scorpion gangster Jamie Bacon, Matt Johnson, Cody Haevischer and Michael Le are facing first-degree-murder charges in the case, while another suspect, Sophon Sek, is facing a manslaughter charge in connection with the deaths. Dennis Karbovanc, who admitted to killing three of the six victims, was sentenced to life behind bars in April 2009. The other suspects’ trial is expected to go ahead in early 2012 and all four officers could still be called as witnesses. Armstrong has said it will ultimately be up to a court to decide if the alleged criminal conduct of the officers impacts their credibility on the stand. Schellenberg said she isn’t angry, but rather shocked by the idea the trial involving her husband’s suspected killers might be threatened. “I’m stunned more like. It has jeopardized all the work done in this case,” said Schellenberg. But she can’t afford to spiral into frustration over the situation, she said. “[The situation] is completely pathetic, but if I’m angry, it doesn’t do me any good,” she said. “I can’t live in anger. It’s been 3 1/2 years and you can’t live that way.” It’s important the trial proceeds and the suspects are held accountable, but nothing will undo the damage already done, Schellenberg noted. “No matter what. It won’t change the outcome . . . Ed’s gone.”

Abby could lose Terry Fox Run

“It would be such a shame for the people of Abbotsford to miss out on an opportunity to keep Terry’s legacy alive as every community, no matter how big or small, can make a huge impact, just as Terry learned when a small town of 10,000 people raised over $10,000,” Donna White, provincial director for the B.C. & Yukon Terry Fox Foundation, said in a release. White, herself, is a cancer survivor and a testament to the difference that research is making in the fight against cancer. “The fact is that if Terry were alive today, instead of being given a 30 per cent chance to live, he would be looking at a 90 per cent survival rate,” added White. “And what’s wonderful about his legacy is that it’s not just about the type of cancer Terry had, or cancers affecting youth, or men, or women. The Foundation funds research into all kinds of cancer, believing as Terry did, that we need to conquer this disease once and for all for everybody.” Since the Marathon of Hope in 1980, more than $500 million has been raised for cancer research. The Terry Fox Foundation is looking for an enthusiastic individual to continue the tradition in Abbotsford on Sunday, Sept. 18 Co n t a c t D o n n a W h i t e at The Terry Fox Foundation by e-mail at bcyukon@ terryfoxrun.org or by phone at 1-888-836-9786 if you want to get involved.

Man shoots himself, blames home invaders STEPHANIE LAW Vancouver Sun

reported shooting in an Abbotsford home Saturday morning turned out to be self-inflicted, according to the police. They reached that conclusion following an investigation that began before 9 a.m. when they received a 911 call to a suite in the 3200 block of Cheam Drive, where a 38-year-old man had been shot. The woman who placed the call indicated that two armed men had entered the suite and shot her boy-

friend. But after repeated questioning, the woman admitted that she did not witness the shooting, said Const. Ian MacDonald, spokesman for the Abbotsford Police Department. She was asleep when the shooting occurred. She woke up to see her boyfriend suffering two gunshot wounds in his hand and leg, and relayed his account of what happened to the police, he said. “According to his version of events, two assailants broke into the suite, there was some altercation, and then they fled with the handgun,” he said.

But the police found the handgun in the man’s suite. Police interviews with neighbours and other residents in the apartment found no evidence of conflict in the suite or anyone fleeing the building. “We’re saying definitively that there was no home invasion,” MacDonald said. “These are self-inflicted wounds, period.” The man has so far refused to stray from his version of events, but police planned to re-interview him. They are also considering what charges the man might face, said MacDonald.

Bulis blog the future of journalism? Cool summer reading Abby’s Mooney for Mission families connects with Canucks Nation CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

he world of sports journalism – indeed all forms of journalism – is changing rapidly with the rise of social media, video and blogging.

“. . . I don’t think they realize that we’re completely dependent on the media telling the story on the straight and narrow.” – Harrison Mooney blogger

Enter Harrison Mooney and Daniel ‘Skeeter’ Wagner, the boys at the popular online blog, Pass it to Bulis. Writers and avid Canucks fans, both have quietly built up a solid readership thanks not necessarily to their in-depth analysis and hockey know-it-all, but their refreshingly humourous take on the game. “Being a Vancouver Canucks fan is serious business,” said the 25-year-old Mooney, who is from Abbotsford and holds a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of the Fraser Valley. “We often forget just how much fun being a hockey fan can be and so that’s

really what we want to get back to. “Win or lose, there are great storylines, there are great personalities and all sorts of hilarious things that happen on the day-to-day that often don’t get covered because they don’t have anything to do with the win, loss narrative.” Recently, Mooney and Wagner were both picked up by the Vancouver Sun to write about the Canucks and the NHL playoffs.

Mooney admitted he’d rather watch the Stanley Cup final between the Canucks and Boston Bruins as opposed to working under the strict late-night deadlines some sports scribes are subject to after a game. But he said that talks are underway for the pair to join the Sun next year, although nothing has been solidified. Their story is just another in the evolution of journalism, particularly in the print industry. Content is driven on an Internet-first basis, then for the papers. As the variety of content – everything from columns and analysis, to recaps and box scores – grows, so to has the desire for more outside-the-box methods of delivering information. Another popular sports blog, The Kurtenblog, was picked up by The Province a few years back, and Pass it to Bulis – a name mimicking one-time Canuck Jan Bulis – appears destined down the same path. Mooney believes this is the future of sports reporting. “I don’t believe beat reporting is going to go out of style by any means,” he said. “What we do as bloggers simply can’t exist unless we’re the alternative. We rip the mainstream media in the bloggesphere. “I don’t think they realize that we’re completely dependent on the media telling the story on the straight and narrow so we can come in with our refreshing, skewed slant. “Definitely I think that the media is going in this direction where there will be a lot more comedy and a lot more of the irreverent side.”

WHO WE ARE

The Abbotsford/Mission Times is a division of Postmedia Community Publishing. We’re published Tuesdays and Thursdays from 30887 Peardonville Rd., Abbotsford, B.C.

Asbestos stance is pure lunacy

◗ PUBLISHER

here are some issues that should be above politics. Cancer is one of them, but the newly elected Conservative government has managed to drag even this issue down into the mud and muck of partisanship. Canada’s representatives have singlehandedly blocked a UN treaty – the Rotterdam Convention – from listing chrysotile asbestos as a dangerous chemical. Chrysotile asbestos causes lung cancer, a particularly nasty form of it. It typically affects people who work with the material. Not in Canada, mind you, but in developing countries. Canada bans the use of the fireproof material in construction. But it does export it to countries like India and the Philippines, where workers have less protection, both legal and physical, from breathing in the noxious particles. It’s worth noting that Canada is the only country to now block the new rules. Other countries had come around. But now, to protect Canada’s right to export death, our government has stepped in to scuttle the deal. This shouldn’t be a surprise. During the recent election campaign, PM Stephen Harper publicly stood up for the carcinogenic industry when he stumped for votes in Quebec – which is where the only current, and possible future, Canadian asbestos mines are located. Not every Conservative is so deeply out of touch. Langley MP Mark Warawa recently spoke of doing something about asbestos exports, and we hope he continues to go against the grain and stands up to his party. He can expect support from retired MP and cancer survivor Chuck Strahl. The sad thing is that this is an issue at all. Preventing cancer should be an issue that all can support.

Just So stories not satisfactory T

he connection between the recent hockey riots in Vancouver and an American political sex scandal have kept me thinking. The connection between goons trashing Vancouver’s downtown, and Anthony Weiner sending pictures of his nether regions to women he met online, may not be immediately obvious. But it’s there, in the stories we tell afterwards. In the immediate aftermath of the riots, Vancouver Police Department Chief Jim Chu claimed that “criminals and anarchists” were responsible for the fights, burning cars, and looting. If I was a Vancouver resident, I’d be very worried that my city’s top cop could confidently identify culprits in a crime without actually, you know, seeing any evidence first. (“Criminals” is redundant; if you torch cars and steal, you’re a criminal by definition, yes?) Chu has already had to backpedal a bit, as it turns out that some of the first wave of folks arrested thanks to social media have been star athletes and other middle-class teenagers from the suburbs. Not so much as a Sex Pistols album to their names, it seems. Only a few media outlets have actually bothered to, you know, ask anarchists if they actually rioted. They say they weren’t, noting that there was nothing political about the event, and the hallmarks of the Black Bloc (the

MATTHEW CLAXTON

the painful truth sub-set of anarchists who break stuff) were absent. (When they do smash things, the Black Bloc is notable for being sober, organized, and better equipped than the hockey riot goons.) So why did Chu blame anarchists? Then there’s Anthony Weiner, a former New York congressman, who apparently likes taking pictures of himself and sharing them. And Americans love a story about a politician’s genitals. Bloggers and pundits have been coming up with ever more elaborate theories to explain why an apparently intelligent, grown man would do something so stupid, so likely to result in scandal. This has resulted in a lot of stories involving pop psychology of the lowest kind. The more complex theories tend to rely on badly understood versions of evolutionary psychology. (Handy tip: if a story includes the phrase “back when people were chased by sabre-toothed tigers,” it’s an evolutionary psych fairy tale.) And here’s where Chu’s anarchist claims and Weiner’s . . . um . . . photos link up. Both the pundits and Chu are

telling Just So stories, in the Rudyard Kipling tradition. These are simple stories to explain complicated phenomena. How did the elephant get his long trunk? Because once upon a time, a crocodile grabbed a young elephant’s nose and pulled and pulled and pulled . . . and ever since then, all elephants have long noses. Just So stories crop up everywhere, even in the Bible. A theologian would tell you that the stories of the Garden of Eden and the flood are about man’s relationship with God, but they also include bonus stories about why snakes have no legs, and where rainbows come from. So why did a bunch of Vancouverites go nuts and break stuff? Was it a complicated relationship between booze, youth, sports, and human psychology? No! Anarchists! Why do politicians expose themselves, often literally? Is it something that has numerous root causes, in our society and our brain chemistry? No! Men are just perverts! Fortified with our Just So stories, we can then ignore the issue. Thanks, Jim Chu, and thanks, pundits. I can shut off my brain and stop worrying about human motivations for troubling behaviour. All is explained in a few simple sound bites. Nothing to see here, nothing to trouble my sleep. ■ Visit Matthew Claxton’s blog at http://tiny.cc/A0D3W.

Disappointed in the Christian community Editor, the Times:

I am writing today to express my disappointment with the Christian community. I am currently looking for a worthy cause that I can give my time and effort to in order to get experience in the field. What better organizations, I thought, then the youth groups that supported me when I was younger, the kind of places that gave me a safe place to socialize, food, and a safe ride home? To my surprise, when I picked up the volunteer forms they were not so subtly requiring a Christian faith. Now, I know that organizations can screen volunteers however they please, but I thought I have the right to my own religion without prejudice. Normally I would let this slide and move onto other organizations, but this bothered me. I truly want to give back to the people and places that helped me so much throughout the years, but I am denied this because I have no pastor or church to provide on the forms. I am new to the field and already having doors shut in my face. I really don’t know how to feel. Kimberley Sutton Abbotsford

Hard to weed out only bad tenants Editor, the Times:

I must respond to Frank Wirrell who has no sympathy for landlords of a growop property. You claim there are “excellent firms” that do “proper background checks.” Who are these firms, where do they get their information? Is there is list of grow-op renters? Might they discriminate against someone simply because he/she falls into a “certain” category? I bring this up because many years ago, I was denied rental of a duplex because I was a single parent. I always paid my rent on time, always kept my home clean and tidy. He did not know this, and even if he did, maybe this time I would decide to try to supplement my income. How would the “excellent firm” know anything about me? Bottom line: screen all you want. You don’t and

can’t know anything about a tenant – whether good or bad. S. Moore Abbotsford

Plenty of ways to look at the Bible Editor, the Times:

Michael Kerry has an interesting way of breaking down different peoples’ attitudes toward the Bible. He puts himself in category 5, “I believe it entirely . . . I am totally committed to reading it, believing it and obeying it, even the parts I do not understand.” There are many things I don’t understand in the Bible, and I certainly wouldn’t obey something I didn’t understand. If you want something to obey from the new testament, how about Corinthians 1 14:34 (NIV): “Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says.” So maybe you go to a church with a bunch of silent women? I’m not interested in bible-bashing, but I am interested in challenging statements of blind faith. I think most Christians would agree that obeying the entire Bible is not possible – it is too contradictory and many of the directives would be considered illegal within the confines of civilization. There are few things as dangerous as a person who is willing to act on blind faith. You also make the statement that everlasting life is available for those who are “willing to love God (who is lovely).” This is, of course, the same God who, among many other things, ordered a man be stoned to death for gathering wood on the Sabbath (Numbers); asked a devoted follower, Abraham, to kill his son to show his obedience, stopping him only at the last minute to tell him he passed the test (Genesis); killed every firstborn child in Egypt because he was upset with the Pharaoh (Exodus); killed the entire sinful human race except for Noah and his family (Genesis); and apparently promises eternal pain and torture to his “children”

HST-type taxes have worked in Europe Editor, the Times:

Even without advertising and a budget, Robert Rock (Exactly who’s fooling whom over the HST?, Times, June 22) tries to fool us all the time, but fails every time because he doesn’t check his facts. Without a scrap of evidence, he announces that “America has achieved the lowest rates in its history.” Naturally, he doesn’t even think about low tax rates in the Age of Jackson, a time of great economic advance. Nor does he consider tax rates at the time of Teddy Roosevelt. Nor does Rock reflect on tax cuts at the time of President Reagan, an era that produced 80 consecutive months of increased GDP. Just as he has little grasp of America, Rock has little grasp of Europe. With his customary amount of evidence, Rock declares that the HST will “drag our country down to the level of the U.S.” Actually, the HST is a kind of value-added tax and value-added taxes have been common in Europe for years. Again, Rock exaggerates when he imagines that taxes “ensure a fair an equitable society.” If true, this alleged fact is an argument in favour of the HST, or any other tax. Rock gives no credit to the private sector of the economy, which he smears as being “predatory.” Besides, federal taxes also ensure expensive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since the Roman Empire, this has always true: no taxes, no wars. No corporation ever waged war. Do not give more credit to Robert Rock than he deserves. Give him only what he richly deserves.

Maybe it’s time to get tougher on criminals Editor, the Times:

What’s wrong with our justice system? Rosalie Turcotte and relatives are being punished by the justice system for giving birth to Ken Turcotte, by the outrageous sentence given to Ken’s murderer, Zackary Finley, who committed firstdegree murder and then convicted of second-degree murder in 1996 (Bitter reminder of violent death, Times, June 23). May I ask what the hell is the difference between first and second-degree murder? Ken Turcotte lost his life, should be the only consideration, and a life for a life should be the only remedy. This is the scare-them-straight method demonstrated by God himself when he told the Israelites to take the Sabbath breaker, who was gathering firewood on God’s Holy Sabbath Day. Our whole justice system is cursed because of their refusal to allow the shedding of guilty blood. Rick Mueller Abbotsford

Autistic children must have stability Editor, the Times:

This letter is concerning the Ministry of Children and Family Development apprehension of Ayn Van Dyk of Abbotsford. I have been an elementary school teacher since 1997, and in the years of my career I have worked with many children on the autism spectrum. I also have friends whose children have autism spectrum disorders. I can tell you that other than being loved and respected, what children with autism need most is structure, routine and predictability. If something in their world is changed, it can cause serious setbacks and trauma. Removing a child with autism from a

stable, loving environment is the absolute worst thing you can do for that child. I recognize that I do not know all of the facts in this case, but the justification given by MCFD – that they were taking Ayn to lessen her father’s load – is absurd. The decision making process involved in this case shows a lack of knowledge concerning both autism, and the struggles that families whose children have autism face. I feel strongly that the ministry has overstepped its bounds in this apprehension. I think that there needs to be an investigation into the decision making process that went in to removing Ayn. There should also be policy adjustments so that such an appalling thing does not occur again. If the ministry feels that Mr. Hoare needs help, it should offer him more support. As I teacher, I have had to call MCFD several times to report incidents of neglect and abuse. I called once because a little girl

came to school saying that her baby sister was screaming in her crib while her parents were passed out drunk downstairs. I called another time after a mother left deep scratches across her daughter’s chest. In these cases, after a cursory investigation, nothing was done. So it seems absurd to me that Ayn was taken from her loving, safe home. If every child that ever ran away was apprehended, you would need thousands more foster parents. The Ministry of Children and Family Development serves a vital purpose. It exists to protect the welfare of children and their families. Clearly it has “protected” neither in this case. It is incidents such as this that make people question the ministry’s credibility, authority and lack of external accountability. Something must change. And this little girl must be returned to the loving care of her family before irreparable harm is done. Sherilyn R. Klassen Abbotsford

Abbotsford truck driver suspended

n Abbotsford truck driver has been handed a three-month driving ban after a dramatic crash on Highway 1 near Hope early Friday morning. Police say the 47-year-old driver of a westbound semi-trailer lost control of his rig near the Hunter Creek Scales and crashed, scattering his load of sand and gravel bags across the highway. Two semi-trailers and a motorcycle, travelling behind the rig, hit the debris on the road. One of the semis crashed and the second managed to stop after running over some of the mess. The motorcyclist also lost control. No one was seriously injured in the collisions, although the motorcyclist was taken

to hospital and released, said RCMP Cpl. Dan Doyle of the Fraser Valley Traffic Services. “Our investigation, which is continuing, indicates that alcohol and/or drugs, as well as speed may have been factors in this crash,” Doyle said in a press release. Both westbound lanes near Hope and the Hunter Creek Scales were closed to traffic for eight hours Friday; by noon, one lane had reopened. The driver was issued a 24-hour driving suspension as well as a 90-day driving prohibition. He is scheduled to appear in Chilliwack court in October.

he Abbotsford Board of Education (BOE) has approved a pay raise for trustees starting in the 2012 school year. It voted unanimously for a total 4.8 per cent pay increase for school trustees to be implemented in two stages starting in December 2012. District spokesman Dave Stephen said the board’s pay hike will not go into effect until after the next trustees are voted in following the approaching municipal elections in November. “It allows the preceding board to set [pay] rates for the following board,” said Stephen. “So the sitting board is not faced with setting its own remuneration.” The salary increases were recommended by the external Trustee Indemnity Committee, a group assembled in 2008 to review board members’ compensation for every three-year term. Starting December 1, 2012 board members will be paid $21,500 a year, up from the current salary of $21,000. The BOE’s chairperson and vice-chair will also get $500 increases for an annual pay of $26,500 and $24,000 respectively. A year later, on Dec. 1, 2013 all trustees will get an additional $500 a year resulting in an annual compensation of $22,000 for trustees, $24,500 for the BOE vice-chair, and $27,000 for the chairperson. The board’s last salary hike occurred in December of 2008, when the base rate for

‘A mob waiting for an unarmed individual’ TRIAL, from page A1 He was pronounced dead at MSA hospital just after noon that day. Court also heard that during the course of the evening that the victim, and a friend of his, had gotten phone calls from Brar telling them he was headed to the Hans home for a confrontation. At one point, Hans called his brother to warn him people were going to arrive and to come outside. Later that night police got a search warrant for Brar’s residence and found a pillow case filled with cash and quantities of crack cocaine. The suspect was later

arrested, and served a little over three months in jail before acquiring bail. Crown counsel Carolyn Lawlor asked Grist to consider a seven-year sentence for Brar as the attack was premeditated, prolonged and involved weapons and a victim that posed no threat. “This was a mob lying in wait for an unarmed individual,” said Lawlor. “What happened on that lawn can only be considered ‘almost murder’,” she said, dismissing the notion Brar simply wanted to discuss Hans punching his brother. “This was a cowardly act . . . a deliberate act of unnecessary violence,” she added.

Brar’s lawyer Jeffrey Ray disagreed with Crown’s petition for a seven-year sentence, saying that Brar was not the principal aggressor in the stabbing that night. Ray told court that, contrary to the witnesses’ report, Brar was unarmed and had no idea weapons were brought to the victim’s home, nor did he see who stabbed Hans. Ray suggested the judge consider a four- to five-year sentence for the accused who has no criminal record.

trustees was $15,343. The first scheduled pay hike in 2012 represents a 2.3 per cent increase from 2008. The second hike in 2013 will bring the raise to a total increase of 4.8 per cent from that date. The Consumer Price Index from the board’s last raise until April 2011 was 5.7 per cent, according to the indemnity committee’s report. Its report stated, given the economic recession and likely taxpayer resistance, that no pay increases were recommended until December 2012, a year following the board’s election. The committee considered a number of factors when making salary recommendations, including Abbotsford board members’ time commitments, estimated to be between 400 to 600 hours of work a year. The group also examined the trustee salaries in other districts. In Chilliwack, a district with 14,000 students, board chairs are paid $19,800, vice-chairs $18,900, and trustees $18,000, according to a BC School Trustee Association 2010 wage survey. In Langley, with around 18,000 students, board chairs received $20,110, vice-chairs got $19,110 and trustees $18,110 in that same year. In the Surrey district, with a student population of 70,000, board chairs were paid $31,700, vice-chairs $30,200 and trustees $28,700. Abbotsford school district has a student population of approximately 19,000 students. The indemnity committee is comprised of people from city council, UFV, the legal community, district PAC, and the general public.

APD seek heroic citizens

CEREMONIAL DIG FIREHALL FOUNDATIONS

he Abbotsford Police Department is looking for seven individuals who voluntarily stepped in to help police during the Stanley Cup riot on June 15. The APD would like to identify and thank the seven people who offered police assistance in reaching two people seriously injured in the mob and allowed officers and medics the opportunity to give medical care to those hurt. Among the seven individuals was a group of off-duty nurses and a doctor, a husband and wife, and another individual described as a large, muscular man. According to a statement released by the APD, the married couple and the muscular man formed a “wall” around Const. Steve Kern, who was one of 68 officers deployed to the riot from Abbotsford. Kern was forced to stay with medical personnel and the first injured person while three other members of his team went in search of a man in the crowd suffering from stab wounds. Police are urging anyone with information to call 604859-5225.

Flames of speculation are out . . . for now O

n Monday, the Vancouver Canucks announced a two-year affiliation agreement with the Chicago Wolves, ending months of speculation the Stanley Cup runnerups could buy the rights to the Abbotsford Heat AHL franchise from the Calgary Flames. “We look forward to this new venture with the Chicago Wolves,” Canucks president and general manager Mike Gillis said in a press release Monday morning. “The two organizations will work closely to ensure our goals are one in the same and continue to work on developing a strong relationship with our prospects.” And with that, a cry went up from hockey fans in Abbotsford, the Fraser Valley and the Lower Mainland, some of whom may have been hoping the Canucks would somehow find a way to link themselves with the Abbotsford Heat, or vice versa.

CAM TUCKER

Inside sports I can’t really blame people for wanting the Canucks’ prospects to call Abbotsford home. Especially when you consider the Canucks are, and will continue to be for eons, this region’s No. 1 hockey team. Geographically, Abbotsford and Vancouver are separated by less than 100 kilometres and a one-hour drive – barring traffic. Not to mention public opinion that the Heat don’t draw well at the gate simply for one reason: they’re affiliated with the Calgary Flames, who aren’t exactly popular in this part of the hockey landscape. Oddly enough, the Heat’s

UFV keeping mum over ‘big’ announcement a major announcement at a press conference tomorrow afternoon. There’s no word on what the announcement will be, as all four parties have remained quiet when pressed on the

Flames are hitched to AHL teams in cities where past relationships seem to, at least from the outside, have a negative affect on future ones. It’s not like Mike Gillis or Jay Feaster really give two cents about the fans of their AHL affiliate. Lets just say it’s not their top priority. They may say otherwise, but come on. There are sure to be some Abbotsford hockey fans who will hear this latest news and ponder with discontent at what might have been. In a perfect world, maybe the Canucks and Abbotsford strike a partnership. However, this world is anything but perfect.

The University of the Fraser Valley athletic department, as well as Trinity Western University, the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports C e n t re a n d t h e C i t y o f Abbotsford are set to make

local hockey fans have had a difficult time warming up to Abbotsford’s AHL team. But what about the Chicago Wolves, who are among the AHL’s best organizations when it comes to attendance? Last year, the Wolves averaged 7,453 fans per game and were third in league attendance. Judging by fan reaction out of the Windy City in just a few short hours since the deal was announced, the Wolves marketing may never see the light of day again in order to sell tickets. The Canucks’ likability factor in Chicago is as bad, if not worse, than the Flames popularity standing in Abbotsford. Look no further than three straight playoff meetings between the Canucks and Blackhawks as a reason why an affiliation between Vancouver and Chicago may not go over too well with some. Essentially, the Canucks and

local ownership group apparently talked to the Canucks a few years ago when they were interested in getting an AHL team as the main tenant for the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. The Canucks turned them down, and chose to stay in Winnipeg. In need of something to fill the expensive 7,500-seat AESC, the local owners signed a 10year supply fee agreement with the Flames. We are about to head into the third year of that deal, and the Heat’s average regular season attendance through two seasons sits at just under 3,900 fans per game, among the bottom third of the AHL. The team is projected to lose $1.2 million through its first two seasons of operation, and local taxpayers must pick up the tab for any financial shortfalls. It’s not unfair to say most
