Medical pot usersget court reprieve

Another group formed on homeless issueAlex BUTLERAbbotsford News

A new society aimed at helping the homeless has been launched in Abbotsford, with plans for a project that would see a transi-tional housing campground.

The society includes four mem-bers of the homeless community, the 5 and 2 Ministries, the BC/Yukon Drug War Survivors, the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association (ADBA) and other community members.

At Monday’s annual general meeting of the ABDA, the organi-zation approved $10,000 in fund-ing for the society.

Paul MacLeod, former president of the ADBA and member of the society, said the money will help the group move forward on its plans to build a project similar in concept to Portland’s Dignity Village. That project provides electricity, a septic system, access to showers and security on a two-acre plot of land in an industrial

Medical marijuana users across Canada won a last-minute court reprieve on Friday, allowing them to keep growing their own pot at home instead of destroying it and turning

to new federally licensed commercial sup-pliers.

Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy was in fed-eral court in Vancouver last week, represent-ing medical marijuana users and arguing that Health Canada’s new rules against at-home production are unconstitutional.

Conroy told The News he is pleased with

the court ruling, which will maintain the

status quo for many producers until the up-

coming trial, for which a date has not been

set. He said without the injunction there

‘Majority’ of patients follow lawwould have been a “chaotic situation come April 1,” when home grows would become illegal and law enforcement could act.

Health Canada’s new reg-ulation outlawing personal pot growing had been slat-ed to take effect April 1, but the decision throws a wrench into the Conservative gov-ernment’s pot reform plans, which would switch produc-tion from private homes to commercial producers.

Earlier this month, Health Canada issued a notice that growers would have to provide notification that they had ceased cultivating marijuana or their address would be provided to local law enforcement.

The City of Abbotsford and police said they did not have plans for a “crack-down” of enforcement of the new rules. Mission Mayor Ted Adlem said he does not support sending police in to enforce com-pliance with the new laws, asking who would “foot the

bill” to close them down. Abbotsford and Mission

are believed to both have between 700 and 800 legal grows. The federal govern-ment states that the goals of the current system have been “seriously compromised” by its rapid expansion, increas-ing from fewer than 100 li-cences in Canada in 2001, to more than 37,000 in January 2014.

At trial, Conroy will argue that making home produc-tion illegal and allowing only the use of dried marijuana forces patients to choose be-tween “their liberty and their health.”

Medical pot patients rep-resented by the court action feared they’ll pay commercial producers much more than it costs to grow marijuana themselves, and end up with

less access to the cannabis strains that work best for them.

The injunction doesn’t stop the launch of new commer-cial pot producers, but it throws into doubt how large their market will be if many users don’t have to immedi-ately switch to them for their supply.

Conroy said while oppo-nents of the current system are concerned about the sale of marijuana on the illicit market, or mould and fire hazards in homes, “the huge majority” of patients are fol-lowing the law.

Health Canada respond-ed to the court’s decision on Friday in a news release, stat-ing that it will review the de-cision in detail and consider its options.

The release states that the original program had sig-nificant unintended conse-quences on public health, safety and security.

Health Canada added that it is “important for Canadians to remember that marijuana is not an approved drug or medicine in Canada.”

area of Portland. MacLeod said they are hoping their proposal will receive

approval from a task force on homelessness launched by the city last week.

In late February, Mayor Bruce Banman said a strategy to ad-dress homelessness would soon be released. In March, council announced the creation of the task force that will come up with short- and long-term plans.

That group has yet to meet, and Jake Rudolph, deputy city manager and the staff liaison for the task force, said with some members away in April, the group will “hit the ground running” in May and he hopes to have a strategy by September.

Rudolph said that although he knew MacLeod had an interest in creating a camp, he was unaware of the society or that they were moving forward with plans. But he added that the task force will be reaching out to any organization or individual with ideas on how to address homelessness.

MacLeod said the plans for the camp would provide a place for those who are not ready to move indoors, while still allow-ing access to showers, washrooms and laundry.

“We have one piece of property that we are looking at very seriously,” although he would not say where that is.

He said other sites are also being considered.“I just think that it is negative at this point until we have a

real plan, because it might upset some people for no reason,”

but added that they will disclose the location as soon as more details are finalized.

“We hope to give them a stable place where they are safe and their belongings are safe, and they can enhance their lives somehow.”

MacLeod said that he has discussed the issue with the mayor and other members of council and hopes to collaborate with the task force. He said he thinks the task force will identify is-sues and possible solutions, while looking to “other groups to

move forward and get the projects going.” The society will be open to the public and

other groups who have opinions or would like to get involved.

Rudolph said a sanctioned camp would be one part of a bigger plan from the task force.

“The success of this task force will be how well it gets involved and engages with any interested stakeholders or parties in the community.”

Rudolph said he is looking forward to the conversations, but any plans for a sanctioned camp would likely include a review of zoning, as the city does not have sanctioned homeless camps as a designated land use.

He said at least three groups have said they would like to get involved in a Dignity Village concept, but none have come forward with a specific proposal.

“It’s not the solution, it’s a solution. It’s one single idea in what will probably be a bunch of ideas that the committee will have to decide on.”

NDP slams B.C. recycling planResidents will pay twice for a ‘Godzilla-sized red tape monster’Jeff NAGELBlack Press

The NDP is accusing the provincial gov-ernment of handing over control of B.C.’s blue box recycling system to Toronto-based multinational executives who will be unaccountable while B.C. businesses and households pay higher costs.

Opposition small business critic Lana Popham raised the issue of Multi Material BC (MMBC) in the Legislature Monday, calling on the province to change course before the agency’s new system for recy-cling packaging and printed paper takes effect May 19.

“If government doesn’t take a step back, B.C.’s recycling system is going to end up in a giant dumpster,” Popham said.

“The control of recycling should never have been outsourced to the large corpo-rate interests based in Ontario and abroad. This is a profound failure. This program needs to be paused and the entire concept reconsidered.”

Popham’s comments follow the launch earlier this month of a campaign against MMBC by a coalition of business groups, including the newspaper industry, who say they can’t afford to pay high fees imposed under the new system.

“The Liberal government loves to claim they’re getting rid of red tape,” she said in an interview Monday. “So it’s quite ironic because MMBC is a Godzilla-sized red tape monster.”

Although MMBC is registered as a soci-ety, Popham called it a “dummy corpora-tion” because two of its three directors are Toronto-based senior executives with Loblaws and Unilever, while the third is MMBC managing director Allan Langdon.

Popham said the MMBC system will be “dangerously close to monopoly” resulting in less innovation in recycling.

She also said municipalities have been pressured into signing contracts with in-adequate compensation for their costs, the threat of penalties for contamination and a

gag clause.MMBC’s new recycling fees on businesses

will be passed along to consumers through higher prices, Popham said, calling it a “hidden tax” that won’t be transparent to consumers.

Meanwhile, she says cities are unlikely to rebate property taxes that households already pay for recycling.

“The slogan for MMBC should probably be ‘Recycle once, but pay twice.’”

MMBC says it will take new types of containers and packaging not collected in B.C. before.

But Popham noted glass will no longer be collected curbside in many cities and there’s little evidence the system will im-prove recycling rates overall.

She said a smarter approach would have been to extend the beverage can deposit-refund system to more containers, such as milk cartons and laundry detergent jugs.

Liberal MLA Eric Foster (Vernon Monashee) responded in the Legislature, saying the province made changes to ex-empt most businesses from MMBC fees and paperwork if they earn less than $1 million in revenue, generate less than one tonne per year of packaging, or operate as a single outlet.

The City of Abbotsford has opted out of the program this year, saying its own recy-cling system is better than what MMBC of-fers. The District of Mission is also staying with its own program for the time being.

A media report out of Glens Falls, New York, has re-ignit-ed speculation on the future of the Abbotsford Heat.

The Post-Star newspa-per reported that Michael Holditch, the Calgary Flames’ senior vice-president and assistant general manager, took a tour of the Glens Falls Civic Center with local of-ficials last week.

The Flames own the Heat of the American Hockey League. The team has struggled at the box office during its five

seasons in Abbotsford. Glens Falls is the current

home of the AHL’s Adirondack Phantoms, but they’re in the market for a new team with the Phantoms set to move to Allentown, Pa. this fall.

Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman, through a spokes-person, declined comment.

This is the second consecu-tive spring that the Heat have been rumoured to be headed to upstate New York.

In 2013, speculation was that the Heat were ticketed

for Utica, with the Vancouver Canucks’ freshly purchased AHL franchise (the former Peoria Rivermen) moving into the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC).

That did not come to frui-tion, as talks between the Canucks and the City of Abbotsford reached a stale-mate. The Vancouver affili-ate is currently stationed in Utica, where it’s known as the Comets.

The Heat rank 29th out of 30 AHL teams in attendance

in 2013-14, drawing 2,924 fans per game to the 7,000-seat AESC.

The attendance issues have compelled the City of Abbotsford to cover annual deficits as part of the hock-ey team’s 10-year supply fee agreement to play out of the AESC, which guarantees the team a $5.7-million break-even budget.

The shortfall for 2012-13 was $1.66 million, bringing the total bill to $5.24 million over the first four seasons.

NDP small business critic Lana Popham raised the MMBC issue in the Legislature.

Abbotsford church vandalizedMan threw rock through glass door

Police are investigat-ing after a man threw a rock through the glass door of an Abbotsford church early Saturday morning.

Abbotsford Police at-tended a Kingdom’s Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses on Gardner Avenue after the glass front door was broken.

Police reviewed video surveillance and found it was a male, about 20 to 30 years old, wear-

ing a dark  hoodie and track pants. The man entered the church property just after 1:20 a.m. by jumping over the fence.

The suspect did not enter the church, but Const. Paul Walker said that “at this point in the investigation there is nothing to indicate that this incident isn’t anything more than mischief to the build-ing.”

Abbotsford Police are searching for a male suspect about 20-30 years old who destroyed a glass door.

Submitted

Police are recommending charges against a 31-year-old Abbotsford man who was in-volved in a motorcycle accident Monday.

Const. Paul Walker said shortly after 6:30 a.m., an officer was conducting routine traffic en-forcement along McCallum Road north of Highway 1 and noticed a motorcycle travelling above the speed limit.

The officer, who was also on a motorcycle, followed the other motorcycle onto Highway 1 west-

bound from McCallum Road. The officer noticed that the motor-cycle was also missing a license plate and tried to stop the vehicle.

The officer turned on his lights and sirens, and the rider of the other motorcycle turned to look at the officer before speeding off.

Walker said the officer did not pursue and shut off his lights and sirens.

Minutes later, the officer came across a collision involving a small car and a motorcycle on the off ramp of Highway 1 and

Mt. Lehman Road.The motorcycle in the collision

was the same one that had fled from police minutes earlier. The rider was transported to hospital with non-life threatening inju-ries. The driver of the car was un-injured. Police investigated and found the motorcycle involved in the collision had been reported stolen.

Police are recommending charges of dangerous driving and possession of stolen property against the man.

Motorcycle in crash was stolen: APD

New lights have been installed at Mill Lake Park in an effort to deter geese.

The new lit buoys float in the lake and were installed as part of the city’s Canada goose population con-trol program.

According to Environment Canada, numbers of Canada geese have increased dramatically in re-cent decades and are now at unprecedented numbers.

The lights are solar-powered, flashing amber LED lights that the city says will dis-courage the birds from nesting by disrupting their night-time roost-ing patterns.

‘Signs of the times’ need a-changin’

Driving through Abbotsford, it be-comes painfully obvious that there is something endemically wrong with our community.

In virtually every mall, along almost every commercial street, there are va-cancies.

Every blank storefront, every unoc-cupied office, means one thing: nobody is working there, jobs have been lost or were never created in the first place.

And vacancies, lots of them, also mean there’s no need for new construction … commercial, industrial and residential – more jobs going unfulfilled.

It seems in my somewhat limited trav-els, the “for rent,” “for lease,” and “for sale” signs, while perhaps not unique to our community, are seen in far great-er number here than in neighbouring

Langley or Chilliwack. In fact, Langley appears to be in a

dramatic surge of construction and in-vestment. The streets are jammed, the stores full and signs of vacancies few and far between.

So what’s the problem here?Why does Abbotsford, with its remark-

ably stable base economy of agriculture, have the highest unemployment rate in the B.C.?

Yes folks, there are more people with-out jobs and therefore not spending money, in our fair city than anywhere else in the province.

At one time there was a short-age of commercial/industrial land in Abbotsford. No longer the case, to wit the extensive lands just north of the airport, fully serviced with underground utilities and a fine looking four/five lane boulevard from the Clearbrook in-terchange. For the most part, it is now growing wild grass instead of family-supporting jobs.

Let’s be clear, there are many success-ful businesses here, and this is not a poor town.

But we are not growing the way we

should. We are not creating job opportu-nities for the kids who go to school here, and who attend our university but have to look elsewhere for work.

More and more, I would guess, com-muters are hitting the freeway for jobs in Langley, Surrey or Chilliwack.

I don’t have a why, and I don’t have a cure, but I can guess that business is reluctant to come to Abbotsford because there is not a business-friendly atmo-sphere where it counts – at city hall.

I am told that fees, delays and approv-als sitting on back burners, are so dis-couraging and costly that investors stay away in droves, putting their money into communities that are more welcoming from a financial point of view.

Having a business proposal sit in limbofor months or years has a simple answer. . . go somewhere else.

And the vacant lands and buildingsin Abbotsford are testament to the factthat not only is something wrong here,there needs to be a sea-change in theway business applications are dealtwith at city hall.

I’m not necessarily pointing fingers atstaff, though it is my impression thatmany have lived too long in a culturethat has either ignored or allowed thestagnation.

There are many issues that will bepresented to candidates during the civicelections this fall. One of them mustbe why our city has a poverty of jobs;a second must be why is it continuing;and third should be “what will you do tochange it?”

A friendly, responsive and timely at-titude towards investment will createjobs, increase revenues to the city andenhance the municipal tax regime.

It will also, as money flows into work-ers’ pockets, eliminate a lot of thosevacancy signs.

There are now 228 confirmed cases in the Fraser East region, which includes Abbotsford and Mission, which along with Chilliwack, Agassiz and Hope are considered to be communities with low immunization rates.

Authorities are urging the unvaccinat-ed to get shots as soon as possible.

It is highly disturbing that this situa-tion has developed at all.

An infection of the respiratory tract, measles is a highly contagious virus that has been virtually eradicated on this con-tinent through vaccination of children. Complications associated with the virus can be very serious, including pneumo-nia and brain damage.

It is the lack of immunization that is responsible for the current outbreak.

Failure to have children vaccinated – in some instances deliberate avoidance

due to religious beliefs or fear – must be regarded as irresponsible and irrational.

Medical experts around the world have established that measles vaccination represents very low risks, and is abso-lutely necessary to keep the virus at bay.

Making personal health choices is important, but those have limitations, particularly when parents allow their unvaccinated children to be exposed to measles contagion, and its serious possible consequences, as well as then expose others to the same illness.

A similar disregard for the rights of others is shown by those who show symptoms of measles yet do not isolate themselves from the general population, as recently found by health authorities.

It’s encouraging that Fraser Health re-ports a significant surge in vaccinations since this measles outbreak occurred.

It’s precisely what needs to be happen-ing – along with mandatory measles im-munization for all school children.

Mandatory immunization

Having a business proposal sit in limbo for months or years has a simple answer ... go somewhere else.

Legalization would not increase use

Re: Protect individu-als from themselves, March 5 edition.

In response to Eric Myrholm’s letter, I think it’s a mistake to believe that legaliza-tion of pot would in-crease its use.

The youth already have access to pot on nearly every street cor-ner, pot often laced with toxic chemicals. Regulation would see the pot locked in cases next to the tobacco, where you would need photo ID to buy it. While I don’t endorse the use of any drug, it is immor-al to criminalize users especially youth for ex-perimenting with drugs.

The theory of “gate-way drugs” is a flawed.

One, because cocaine use came after pot, tobacco, coffee, and milk. So we’ll ban ev-erything and wonder why it didn’t work, like the U.S. war on drugs. They spent billions of dollars on law enforce-ment that could have been spent on educa-tion, prevention and treatment of drug use.

And no, not everyone knows the problems with drugs. So edu-cate your kids because what they see on TV is celebrities snorting coke, crashing sports cars, and doing drive by shootings! And guess what, kids think that lifestyle is cool.

Re: Residents shouldn’t be forced to pay tolls, March 14 edition.

Mr. Wirrell should know his history before making state-ments.

Lions Gate bridge was tolled from 1938 to 1955 with tolls going to the Guinness family.

In 1955 it was sold to the prov-ince and there were tolls on it until 1963. The Oak Street bridge was tolled from 1957-1959 and Patullo Bridge from 1937-1952.

I remember going on all these bridges while they were tolled.

There are other toll bridges in B.C. as well as throughout North

America and it is an excellent way to maintain roads.

My mother was born in Vancouver in 1915, I was born and grew up in Vancouver and am very familiar with the his-tory of the city.

Question: I have noticed that my skin is looking dull and I have some sun spots that have appeared. What can I do?

Answer: Over the years sun damage causes us to have broken capillaries and sun spots which can make us look 10 years older. We have various ways to improve skin texture and tone. We can start by using a combination of physician grade treatment products which include Vitamin A, hydroquinone and sunblock as well as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). Usually 3 - 5 treatments are necessary.If you are interested in a more aggressive treatment we can combine physician grade products, IPL and Fraxel laser – the combination will enhance each others results. You will need to continue protecting yourself from the sun and use sunblocks, hats and sunglasses to maintain the results. Dr. Marianna Snyman

Charity in a shoeboxAlina KONEVSKIAbbotsford News

For one Abbotsford woman, packing shoe-boxes full of goodies for children and send-ing them to Africa has become a Christmas tradition.

Tricia Dumouchel has been participat-ing in the Samaritan’s Purse flagship pro-gram, called Operation Christmas Child, since she was a child herself, and has packed about 36 boxes in her life-time. Like many other families, Dumouchel first started doing it with her mom dur-ing Christmas season. They would pick up gifts for themselves, and add in items for the shoebox, like toilet-ries, toys, and pencils.

“I look forward to it every year. It’s al-most that nostalgia for Christmas,” says Dumouchel, who is the marketing director at Sevenoaks Shopping Centre.

After so many years shipping shoeboxes, Dumouchel decided

she wanted to accom-pany the gifts all the way to their destina-tion. She has signed on to a national volunteer team that is heading to Senegal in July to visit some of the recipients.

She believes in the shoebox program as a

fun way to give back.“It’s an opportunity

to give hope and love to those children that won’t necessarily get a Christmas gift. I’ve been collecting boxes since I was at least 12 years old … I have always had a heart

for it. It’s part of my Christmas tradition. It’s always something I go and shop for, and help children in need.”

Last year, Abbotsford’s regional collection centre re-ceived 11,438 shoebox-es, an increase from 9,000 in 2007. In the Fraser Valley region, nearly 22,000 boxes were collected in 2013.

The Senegal trip will be Dumouchel’s first to the continent. She says she is excited and a little nervous.

“I’m really looking forward to going to Africa to see a different perspective. I think it’s going to change a lot of my mindset and a lot of my perspective.”

Dumouchel and 19 other volunteers with Samaritan’s Purse will be in Senegal from July 16 to 26, 2014. To help Dumouchel cover the $3,500 cost of the trip, she invites people to her online profile at sponsorme.samaritan.ca/sponsor/Triciadumouchel/.

Abbotsford residents bought thousands of shoeboxes for the Operation Christmas Child program in 2013.

Once limitation periods expire,

ability to sue is lostLimitation periods

are cold and in-sensitive. In fact,

it doesn’t matter how much is stolen from you or how badly you are injured; limitation periods simply do not care.

If the limitation pe-riod has expired, you’ve lost your ability to sue. If that weren’t daunting enough, recent legislative changes in B.C. have actually shortened the length of limita-tion periods in many instances.

Prior to June 1, 2013, the old BC Limitation Act imposed different limitation periods of two, six, or 10 years, depending on the legal nature of the claim. Typically, a limitation period would begin as soon as the illegal

action occurred, but exceptions made it pos-sible to postpone the start of the limitation period in certain sce-narios.

The new Limitation Act makes several no-table changes. First and foremost, it removes distinctions based on the legal nature of the

claim by making all claims sub-ject to a two-year limita-tion period. It also clari-fies that the limitation period does not begin to run until the plaintiff dis-

covers, or ought reason-ably to have discovered, that injury or damage has occurred, and that a court proceeding would be an appropri-ate means to seek a remedy.

The new Limitation Act also reduces the “ultimate limitation pe-riod” – which describes the maximum outside time limit past which a limitation period cannot extend – from 30 to 15 years. Since limitation periods do not begin until a claim is discovered, absent an “ultimate limitation period,” it is conceivable that the ability to sue would never expire in situations where the damage or injury has not been detected. The “ultimate limitation period” eliminates this possibility, as it imposes an ultimate time limit regardless of whether or not damage has been discovered.

If you’ve been wronged – no matter how large or small – the clock is ticking. Despite the legislature’s best intentions, the new Limitation Act is still complicated. It is more important than ever that you see a lawyer who can advise you on the steps you need to take to ensure that time doesn’t run out before you get the compensa-tion you deserve.

Bring in this ad to receive 10% offFamily holds Bollywood-style event

An Abbotsford family is holding an event in Surrey on Friday, March 28 to raise funds for BC Children’s Hospital.

Gary and Karm Ahuja are hosting the “Share a Smile” Bollywood-style event at the Royal King Palace Banquet Hall (8158 128 St.), starting at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are $40 and include a full buf-fet Indian dinner, en-tertainment, games, a photo booth, raffle prizes and a silent auc-tion.

The Ahujas have set a goal to raise $100,000 over the next sev-eral years to purchase medical equipment as a measure of thanks for the care their daughter Maya received as a baby.

Maya, who turns

four in June, under-went open-heart sur-gery at the age of four months. Following the procedure, her heart stopped beating for 22 minutes, but quick action by doctors and nurses saved her life.

Maya will require another open-heart surgery in the coming years and is closely fol-lowed several times a year by the doctors at the hospital.

So far, the family has raised $12,500 toward their goal.

Tickets for Share a Smile are available by calling 604-613-5242 or 604-807-8184 or emailing garyahuja@hotmail.com. More in-formation is available online at teammira-clemaya.com.

Weekend split for Heat in Ontario

Toronto Marlies goalie Garret Sparks tries a poke-check on Heat centre Ben Street dur-ing Sunday’s game at Toronto’s Ricoh Coliseum.

TSGphoto.com

Dan KINVIGAbbotsford News

A three-goal outburst in less than a minute was the Abbotsford Heat's very own ver-sion of March Madness, highlighting a weekend which saw the local AHL club split a pair of games in Ontario.

On Saturday at Hamilton's FirstOntario Centre, the Heat's Corey Locke, Chad Billins and Ben Street scored in 53-second span in the first period to spark Abbotsford to a 5-1 win over the Bulldogs.

Locke's goal was his first as a member of the Heat – he’d been mired in a 19-game goalless drought since being ac-quired from the Chicago Wolves in late January.

Sven Baertschi (on the power play) and Max Reinhart (into an empty net) also scored for Abbotsford, while goalie Aaron Dell (37 saves) earned first star honours.

Dell was released the next day, though, as regular starter Joni Ortio was sent back to the Heat by the Calgary Flames.

Ortio made his first start in Abby silks in more than a month on Sunday vs. the Toronto Marlies, but Toronto prevailed 3-2 on Josh Leivo's power-play goal late in the third period.

Zach Davies, with his first career AHL goal, and Locke scored the Heat goals.

The Heat (35-24-7, fifth in the Western Conference) wrap up their road trip this weekend. They face the Utica Comets on Friday and Saturday, and the Marlies on Sunday.

A18 Abbotsford News Wednesday, March 26, 2014

Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal.

How do you like that, British Columbia?

This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose fi rst responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profi ts.

That can’t be a good thing for BC.

The most perplexing thing is that we currently have a Blue Box program that works, is effi cient, and costs BC homeowners just

$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its fi rst priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC.

It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a pizza or buy groceries.

Yikes!

Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.” Given that, maybe it’s time you called Premier Clark to keep BC’s environmental decisions right here in BC where they belong.

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at premier@gov.bc.ca or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC.

Wrestlers climb national podium

Local wrestlers ex-celled at the Canadian junior and senior wres-tling championships, held in Edmonton last weekend.

Four athletes with Abbotsford connec-tions climbed the po-dium, while five others notched top-six plac-ings.

Jaskarn Ranu, a Surrey native who is a member of the University of the Fraser Valley wrestling club, won gold in the junior men’s 74 kilogram di-vision. He’s qualified to represent Canada during the upcoming international season, and his accomplish-ment at nationals is a nice momentum boost for a Cascades program which is moving from club status to become a full-fledged Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) squad for the 2014-15 season.

Yale Secondary grad

Zandri Botha won sil-ver in the 67 kg junior women’s division and added a sixth-place result at the senior level, while current W.J. Mouat student Nishan Randhawa –  coming off his second straight B.C. high school title earlier this month –  took silver in the 84 kg junior men’s draw.

Former Rick Hansen Hurricanes star Gurjot Kooner was the lone Abbotsford medalist in the senior competi-tion, winning bronze at 125 kg.

Strong performances were also turned in by Austin Batra (fourth in 96 kg junior men freestyle, fifth in 96 kg Greco-Roman), Matt Dignan (fourth, 55 kg junior men), Brendan Sepalla (fifth, 60 kg junior men), Joban Phulka (fifth, 84 kg junior men) and Niki Brar (sixth, 53 kg se-nior women).

Cascades third at Keg CupThe University of the

Fraser Valley men’s soc-cer team finished third at the Keg Cup spring tournament in Victoria on the weekend.

The Cascades dropped Saturday’s opener 3-1 to the host Victoria Vikes, with all the goals com-ing in the second half. UVic opened the scor-ing in the 50th minute, and UFV’s Ryan Liddiard equalized three minutes

later on a free kick, but the Vikes responded with two quick goals to punch their ticket to the final.

On Sunday, the Cascades knocked off local rival Trinity Western 1-0 to clinch third place, as Daniel Davidson’s strike in the

80th minute was the dif-ference.

“I thought the team competed very well under the circumstanc-es,” said UFV head coach Alan Errington. “The Keg Classic is a great tourna-ment for us to play in and gives us a platform to build towards the new

season ahead.”UBC won the tourney,

beating UVic 3-0 in thefinal.

- Chris Anderson, Master Mariner, Lead Marine Advisor, Northern Gateway Project

Working in partnership with B.C. and Alberta First Nations and Métis Communities, and leading energy companies in CanadaLearn more at gatewayfacts.ca

“Northern Gateway is taking extraordinary measures to ensure marine safety—reducing tanker speeds on British Columbia’s north coast is just one.”

Chris Anderson is a Master Mariner and port planning and operations specialist. He has substantial experience in the

assessment and development of many terminal facilities on the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacifi c Coasts of Canada.

Meet the expert:

Northern Gateway has proposed tanker-related safety measures designed to maintain safe vessel transportation. These measures, together with lower tanker transit speeds in the coastal channels, not only reduce the risk of marine incidents, they also minimize potential adverse eff ects on the marine mammal environment.

ACTING ON EXPERT ADVICENorthern Gateway has consulted with many of the top experts in Canada and the world, including Chris Anderson who, as a Master Mariner and seafarer, has over 50 years of experience including the development of port and terminal facilities in British Columbia’s coastal waters and internationally. Acting on the advice of a team of experts, Northern Gateway committedto a vessel transit speed range from 8 to 12 knots. Anderson says, “Reducing vessel transit speeds through a confi ned channel to within this range allows improved re-sponse from our escort tugs, substantially reducing the risk of a navigational incident, while maintaining safe vessel operation.”

BEYOND WHAT’S REQUIRED The commitment to reducing transit speeds is not a regulatory requirement, but one of many voluntary marine

safety initiatives that was put forward by Northern Gateway. As Anderson puts it, “Project-related vessels are capable of speeds of 15 to 16 knots. Many other oceangoing vessels can travel at even higher speeds. Northern Gateway is committed to reducing vessel speeds by as much as half that as an added

measure of prevention.”

GOING EVEN FURTHER TO ENSURE MARINE SAFETYIn addition to reducing tanker speeds, Northern Gateway has committed to the use of two escort tugs for every loaded tanker associated with the Project, with one tug being tethered at all times. According to Anderson, “In the event of a mechanical is-sue, the tethered escort tugs can take over steering and braking which greatly reduces the risk of an incident occurring. This commitment will also help protect British Columbia’s north coast.”

ENDORSED AT THE HIGHEST LEVELSThe Joint Review Panel’s endorsement of the Northern Gateway Project came after a rigorous, scientifi c review of the evidence, including Gateway’s precautionary approach to vessel speeds and escort tug standards. Northern Gateway is working hard to meet all of the fi nal conditions set out by the Panel, the same way they are working to meet the fi ve conditions set out by the Province of British Columbia.

BORN, Esther Annie(nee Brandt)

January 16, 1923 ~ March 18, 2014

Online condolences may be left at:www.woodlawnfh-abbotsford.com

Esther Annie Born passed away peacefully on March 18, 2014 at the Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission, aged 91 years, of cancer. She was born January 16, 1923 in Melba, Manitoba to John K. and Anna (Thiessen) Brandt. Third in a family of 12 children, she had a happy childhood that ended when she contracted osteomylites at the age of 12. She spent several years in and out of hospitals and was given no hope of walking. Many people prayed and also with the help of homeopathic medicine she recovered. She was able to contin-ue piano studies and led a full and active life.During her time in hospital she committed her life to God. While taking her teacher training at Wes-ley College, Winnipeg, she was baptized and joined the North-End Mennonite Brethren Church. After two years of teaching, she married her sweetheart, Henry Born on July 26, 1945, whom she had met in Reinland, Manitoba. In time, three daughters completed the family circle.Esther and Henry spent many years in South America and Eu-rope, serving mostly in education and church growth. Later, they also

served as pastor couple in many North American churches.In retirement, Esther pursued her passion for family genealogy and wrote several books about her fam-ily’s history, an interest that helped her during her grief when Henry passed away in 2002. Using the Internet she located long lost rela-tives and kept in touch with others all over the world. She also helped develop the archives of the Menno-nite Historical Society. Music was an integral part of her life and she and Henry supported the Fraser Valley Symphony for many years.Besides family history, Esther loved family celebrations. She was so pleased to celebrate a non Birthday party for her 91st birthday a few days before cancer immobi-lized her.Left to cherish her memory are her three daughters: Julia (Ron) Toews, Naomi Born, Rebecca Born, 7 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren. Also remembering her are her siblings: Ed (Anne) Brandt, Herb (Anne) Brandt, Evelyn (Carl) Braun, Elsie (John) Braun, Victor (Margaret) Brandt, Allan (Elizabeth) Brandt, Ethel (Peter) Suderman, Gilbert (Susan) Brandt; two sisters-in-law, Rose Brandt and Ruby Brandt, and an uncle, Bill Thiessen. She is predeceased: by her husband, Henry Born, a grandson, a great granddaughter, a sister, and two brothers.A memorial service was held on Monday, March 24 at Bakerview Church, 2285 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford at 1:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Mennonite Brethren Missions or the Mennonite Historical Society.

RATHNAM, David VallipuramDecember 30, 1938 – March 21, 2014

David went to be with the Lord at the age of 75 following complica-tions from a stroke. David was born in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. Through his twenties he traveled extensively on the Ebenezer Gospel Ship providing the gospel message and aid to third world countries. He immigrated to North Vancouver, Canada in 1969 and was married to Gloria in 1970. They had three children, Esther, John and Paul.As a young man, David accepted the Lord in a street meeting in Co-lombo, Sri Lanka. That experience, combined with David’s time on the Ebenezer, had a profound impact on his life leading him to a life of serving others. David never turned back from following the Lord and that faithfulness allowed him nearly fifty years in the ministry. David always proclaimed that Christiani-ty was not a religion it was a way of life. David’s ministry in Canada started in Vancouver where he preached fervently and joined Pas-tor Birch at St. Margaret’s Church in the 1970s. Meeting Pastor Birch early each morning to pray, David had many wonderful experiences at St. Margaret’s Church. David was the founder of New Hope Christian Centre Society and was used of the Lord to plant many churches and help those in need. Mentorship was among David’s greatest ministries and he helped many individuals find their calling by helping them through challeng-ing times and providing them the

encouragement to find their way. David was recognized throughout his life including a Doctorate in Humanities and recognition as a Doctor in Divinity.David was proud of his family and he loved them each dearly. David was incredibly gifted with his hands and was known to repair anything that was in need of such services. David particularly enjoyed teach-ing his sons the ins and outs of rebuilding cars. He is preceded in death by his father and mother, Val-lipuram and Rose Kanmany, three brothers, Jesuratnam (Priscilla), Thurairatnam, Ariaratnam. He is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Gloria Dale Rathnam, his three children, Esther Ella Buschau (William), Samuel “John” Rathnam (Theresia), Paul James Rathnam (Denise), five precious grand-daughters, Anna, Savana, Sydney, Summer and Ella to whom he loved to add the suffix “Darling” when calling their names, his sister Grace Satkunanayagy, brother in law, Leslie Vraspillai, sister in laws, Lily Thurairatnam, Jessie Ariaratnam, Cheryl McPhie, Lynne Chapman (Garry), many nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family in Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom, Nor-way, Australia, Germany, the United States and throughout Canada.Viewing will occur on Friday, March 28th from 10:00am to noon at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford, B.C. followed by a graveside service at North Vancouver Cem-etery, Lillooet Road, North Van-couver, B.C.
