A charge, one yearlater
A well-tended memorial adorns a traffic light pole at the corner of Ware Street and South Fraser Way, where Laurel Wilson (pictured above) and family members were hit by a car.
Despite police recommendations for a criminal charge, Crown has approved a count of driving without due care and attention against the driver in an accident that took the life of Laurel Wilson, her unborn child, and her father. On their way to her birthday lunch on March 13, 2010, they were waiting on a pedestrian island on the corner of Ware Street and South Fraser Way when they were hit by a car that had been struck by a truck in the intersection.

P3 water project pursuedKevin MILLSAbbotsford News
A public private partner-ship (P3) to create the new Stave Lake Water Supply and Treatment Project is being pursued by council.
Up to $50 million in federal funding could be available if the P3 plan goes through for the $200-million project.
P3s are contracts between government and business for infrastructure and deliv-ery of services. Government remains actively involved throughout the project’s life.
“The allure of 25 per cent of the capital funding is tan-talizing,” said Mayor George Peary.
A new water supply is needed to meet the demands of both Abbotsford and Mission. Stave Lake, about 10 kilometres north of Mission, was identified as a source of high quality water, in great quantity.
A water treatment plant is needed, as well as a raw water intake and pump sta-
tion at the south end of the lake. Also required are 6.6 km of raw water pipeline, 8.7 km of treated water pipeline (from the new treat-ment plant to the Lougheed Highway in Mission) and 8.6 km of treated water pipeline from Lougheed Highway to MacLure Road in Abbotsford.
The P3 idea first surfaced in October 2010. At that time,
Peary said a submission was “likely” to see if it was viable.
A recent report by Tracy Kyle, Abbotsford’s direc-tor of water and solid waste, revealed an eligibil-ity request was submitted in June 2010 and in September 2010, PPP Canada requested a business plan.
“No official application has been made,” said Peary, add-
ing it would not be without approval of both councils.
He said a number of options are being looked at.
Critics don’t like the way discussions have been kept out of the public view.
On Thursday (March 10), the water and sewer com-mission held an in-camera meeting, prior to its regular
Stave Lake, north of Mission, will be a new source of water for that community and Abbotsford.

Japan quake hits homeVikki HOPESAbbotsford News
An Abbotsford mom and dad were awaiting word yesterday that their grown son, who lives in Japan, is safe following a devastating 8.9-magnitude earthquake and tsunami that hit the nation late Thursday night.
Andy Bowman said al-though his son, Dero, does not live near the northeast coast, which was most seri-ously impacted, he and his wife, Darlene, have been un-able to reach him by phone or email.
“We haven’t spoken to him so I don’t know how it’s impacted him,” he said.
Dero lives with his wife Masayo and their seven-year-old son on Rokko Island, near Osaka. They have resided in Japan for about eight years.
Osaka is about 600 kilometres southwest of Sendai, the area believed to be hardest hit by the tsunami that accom-panied the quake.
Bowman said he was particularly worried about his daughter-in-law and grandson, as they had been scheduled to take a train to Tokyo during the week.
Trains were stopped fol-lowing the quake, and one passenger train was report-ed missing.
Masako Moriyama, ad-ministrative assistant with the Abbotsford-based Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) BC, was facing similar concerns for family and friends in Japan.
“My family is OK but we have not heard from my hus-band’s family yet,” she said, adding that a breakdown in computer and phone sys-tems could be to blame.
Transit limitations were impacting Sawako Hamamura, an internation-
al student who lived in Abbotsford from 2002 to 2006, and now resides in Chiba, Japan.
She was in Toyko when the first tremor hit and couldn’t get back to her home 25 km away. When reached by the Abbosford News yesterday through Facebook, Hamamura was staying with a co-worker.
She was at work when the quake struck. People fled the building in a panic, but Hamamura was talking to a cus-

GANG BUSTThe recently purchased BearCat armoured rescue vehicle was deployed for the first time in Abbotsford Thursday night when police raided an apartment and arrested a man allegedly connected to the UN Gang.The bust occurred in the 30500 block of Blueridge Drive. Three people were in the unit, and police found cocaine in crack and powdered form, cash and two bulletproof vests.Chadwyn Weber, 32, was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking. The two others – a 24-year-old Abbotsford woman and a 21-year-old Chilliwack man – were released on promises to appear with future court dates. Police are also pursuing charges related to the possession of the body armour. Weber previously served time in prison for assault and possessing a firearm with-out a licence, according to the online provincial court database.Const. Ian MacDonald said the UN Gang is one of the groups currently fighting for control of the drug trade in Abbotsford.
NEW SANDMANAnother Sandman Hotel is being planned for Abbotsford. On Monday, council will listen to a request from Northland Properties Corporation for a variance permit to construct a new hotel at 3010 Mt. Lehman Rd. The plan calls for a six-storey complex featuring 147-rooms, a 160-seat restaurant and 190 parking spaces. It could create as many as 120 new jobs. The hotel would be located across from the new High Street Shopping Centre, presently under construction. Abbotsford’s first Sandman Hotel opened last year on Simon Ave.
CHECK ALARMS
Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) is reminding residents that with daylight savings time this weekend, it is a good time to replace batteries in smoke alarms. The batteries should be replaced once a year.

Lesser charge laid in fatal crashVikki HOPESAbbotsford News
The memorial at the corner of Ware Street and South Fraser Way reveals a year of losses.
There is a wreath of artificial flowers in fall shades of yellow and orange. The light post is wrapped in Christmas evergreen and white poinsettia blooms, with which strands of red-and-pink glittery hearts are intertwined.
Above it all is a plaque stating: “In Loving Memory of Laurel Nadine Wilson. 3/13/83 to 3/13/10” and “Chloe Nadine Wilson. 3/13/10.”
It is the site where one year ago to-morrow, Laurel Wilson, who was seven months’ pregnant and celebrating her 27th birthday, was killed after she was hit by a vehicle that was involved in a multiple-car collision.
The baby girl she was carrying also died that day. Her father, Ralph Jewell, passed away six months later in hospital.
On Thursday, 24-year-old Shaun James Cochrane of Abbotsford was charged in connection to the incident. Abbotsford Police had recommended a criminal charge of dangerous driving causing death, but Crown counsel approved the
lesser offence of driving without due care and attention under the Motor Vehicle Act.
If convicted, Cochrane could face a fine of between $100 and $2,000, and up to six months in prison. He is scheduled to make his first appearance in Abbotsford provin-cial court on April 4.
Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said police accept that Cochrane will face the different charge.
“We have a great working relation-ship with Crown ... They invested a good amount of time working us through the legal requirement of the (dangerous driv-ing) charge ... and why these requirements were not met,” he said.
Wilson was walking with her husband, Kevin Wilson, and her father on her way to a birthday lunch at the time of the ac-cident on March 13, 2010.
The trio were waiting on a pedestrian island at the corner of Ware Street and

A second radiologist who practised at Fraser Health hos-pitals is under investigation for inaccurately reading diagnostic scan results.
And because he previously worked in the Fraser Valley, the findings of nearly 2,000 ad-ditional scans are being called into question at hospitals in Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Langley.
“It is entirely possible there are serious conditions that have not been diagnosed,” said Dr. Andrew Webb, Fraser Health’s vice-president of medicine.
“We will not know until we complete the review of those scans whether or not that is the case.”
The South African-trained radiologist worked at Ridge Meadows Hospital under a pro-visional licence from November 2010 until March 4, when a quar-terly review turned up errors in his CT scan interpretations.
A total of 407 CT scans read by the doctor at Ridge Meadows are under review and nine out of
197 checked so far have turned up “significant discrepancies” in the interpretations.
The reading errors did not result in any of those nine pa-tients being improperly treated, the authority said.
“For that 197, they’re all in the clear,” Webb said.
And Fraser Health is also now reviewing X-rays and 184 mam-mograms that were also inter-preted by the same radiologist, who is not currently practising
while the investigation pro-ceeds.
Because the radiologist previ-ously worked from November 2008 to October 2009 in the east-ern Fraser Valley, another 1,933 CT scans he interpreted in that period will also be reviewed.
They include 1,158 CT scans performed at Abbotsford Regional Hospital, 679 at Chilliwack General Hospital and 96 at Langley Memorial Hospital.
The radiologist could only read scans with the oversight of a supervisor and with quarterly reviews of his work.
His second quarterly review while based in Abbotsford turned up concerns in 38 of his mammography findings, Webb said.
Two “significant discrepan-cies” then included one missed cancer, although Webb said those patients ultimately got the right treatment.
The supervisor refused to con-tinue to oversee the radiologist, Webb said, so he could no lon-ger practise at Abbotsford and headed to Europe.
The radiologist got more train-ing while in Ireland and then came back to B.C., this time to Ridge Meadows.
But his new supervisor at Ridge Meadows wasn’t told of the problems in Abbotsford or that the supervisor there stopped dealing with the radiologist.
“There does seem to be a disconnect of information,” Webb said. “The information in Abbotsford was in Abbotsford. And there was a disconnect be-tween physicians in Abbotsford talking to physicians in Ridge Meadows.”
Fraser Health was still operat-ing as 12 independent hospitals in 2009, Webb said, but added a
Nearly 2,000 CT scans done at hospitals in Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Langley are being reviewed by health officials.

Transparency questioned
public meeting, to discuss the P3 plan. Consultants from Deloitte and Touche LLP as well as from CH2M HILL engineering presented their ideas. The public was not allowed to attend and no details have been released.
Lynn Perrin, long-time council-watcher, has sev-eral concerns regarding the proposal.
“First and foremost, it’s the commodifying of an essential of life.
“Secondly is this whole secrecy thing,” she said.Perrin believes financial inquiries will not be
answered because the Freedom of Information Act allows information to be withheld when pri-vate business interests are involved.
She also thinks the city has paved the way for a P3 deal.
“I believe that the smart meters and the bi-monthly billing have been put in place to grease the business case for the P3.”
If a deal is done, Perrin said there will be “no transparency or accountability.”
But there will always be arguments on both sides of the proposal, according to Peary.
“Some people have a political and philosophical objection to P3s,” he said.
He pointed to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre as an example of success, call-ing it the “poster child” for P3s.
“At the end of the day, we need a new water sup-ply. We can all agree on that. It’s just a matter of deciding how we will get there.”

South Fraser Way. It is alleged that a
Ford F-150 truck driv-en by Cochrane was headed south on Ware Street, ran a red light and ran into a Honda Prelude that was trav-elling on South Fraser Way. The Prelude then struck the trio.
Several other ve-hicles were also in-volved.
Kevin, 34, suffered minor injuries. Laurel was rushed to hos-pital, where doctors were unable to save
her life or that of her baby.
Ralph, who had been pinned against a pole by a car, was also taken to hospital. He remained there until his death on Sept. 15 at the age of 66.
In addition to Laurel, the couple have six other daughters.
Online provincial court records show that Cochrane plead-ed guilty in April 2008 to driving with a suspended licence. He was fined $500 and given a one-year driv-ing prohibition.

‘A disconnect of information’
Victim’s brother chargedVikki HOPESAbbotsford News
The brother-in-law of a mur-dered Abbotsford woman said he is shocked that the woman’s brother has now been charged with her 2010 death.
Jasbir Saran said Harmohinder Singh Khosa, who was charged Thursday with the second-degree murder of Amarjit Kaur Khosa, is a “very nice guy.”
Saran has been married to Harjinder, the sister of Harmohinder and Amarjit, since 1986. He said the death of Amarjit has been devastating to the family – which also includes another sister – and the arrest of Harmohinder has only compounded their grief.
“It’s very sad,” Saran said. “Amarjit was very nice. She was
like my daughter.”Amarjit, 34, was found dead in
a basement suite at 32153 Austin Ave. on July 21.
Cpl. Dale Carr, spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said Harmohinder, 41, was on police radar early in the investigation.
“Over the past few months, we had been continuing to gather the evidence to support charge approv-al,” he said.
He said the case has no links to drugs, gangs or organized crime.
At the time of Amarjit’s murder last year, Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said police were called to the scene by someone who knew the victim and had regular interaction with her.
Her death was immediately
deemed suspicious and was con-firmed as a homicide after an autopsy was performed.
Police have not revealed the cir-cumstances surrounding the mur-der, or the exact cause of death.
Saran said both Amarjit and Harmohinder suffered from depression and had both taken time off work. Harmohinder is married and has a teenage son and daughter.
Amarjit, who was divorced from her husband, lived in the basement suite with her mother and often kept to herself, he said.
Saran said Amarjit had a good heart.
“She was very kind. I miss her,” he said.
Harmohinder is next scheduled to appear in court on March 24.
Abbotsford Heat manage-ment shot down rumours Thursday about possible relocation and affiliation switches related to the Vancouver Canucks.
On Thursday morn-ing, CKNW radio report-ed on its website that a deal to move the WHL’s Chilliwack Bruins to Victoria is “70 per cent done.”
The Bruins’ potential relocation, combined with rumblings of the NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes moving to Winnipeg, could create a domino effect involv-ing teams in a number of leagues, including the AHL’s Manitoba Moose, the ECHL’s Victoria Salmon Kings, and the BCHL’s Langley Chiefs.
One of the scenarios discussed in the CKNW report involved the Calgary Flames moving their AHL affiliate, the Heat, to Chilliwack, and the Moose, the Canucks’ top farm club, moving to Abbotsford.
Placing two AHL fran-chises in such close prox-imity seems a long shot, though, and Heat presi-dent Tom Mauthe dis-
missed the notion.“Anything to do with re-
location is complete spec-ulation,” Mauthe said.“We’re proud partnerswith the Calgary Flames.”
The Canucks would bean attractive affiliationfor Abbotsford’s AHL fran-chise, given the NHL club’spopularity in region.
The Heat averaged 6,143fans for their four homegames with the Moose thisseason; their overall aver-age attendance is 3,655 pergame.
The Flames are in thesecond year of a 10-yearaffiliation agreement withthe local ownership group,and Flames president KenKing told the CalgarySun there’s “zero chance”the Heat are ticketed forChilliwack.
“That’s a non-start-er,” King said. “We’re inAbbotsford happily, andstaying there. We havea 10-year lease and wewould not be interestedor inclined to think aboutChilliwack.”
NW also floated the pos-sibility of the ECHL’sSalmon Kings or theBCHL’s Chiefs landing inChilliwack.

She said she felt the aftershocks about 10 more times over the next several hours.
“I haven’t felt such a big earthquake since I was born. It made Japanese people very scared,” she wrote.
Abbotsford’s sis-ter city, Fukagawa, is about 600 km north of the epicentre and likely was not severe-ly impacted. City of Abbotsford staff had not reached their con-tacts in Fukagawa by press deadline.
Meanwhile, MCC, which does not have staff or programs in Japan, was monitor-ing the situation to de-termine its response. There are several Mennonite churches in Japan.
As of yesterday after-noon, more than 1,000 people were feared dead.

new centralized information system that was set up last summer should ensure proper information flow.
The B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons, which licenses doctors to practise in B.C., was also notified in 2009 of the misreadings in Abbotsford.
Webb could not say how long it will take to review the more than 1,900 scans performed in 2008 and 2009.
It’s the second disclosure to rock patients in Fraser Health, after the authority revealed last month it was reviewing scans read by a locum radiologist who worked at Abbotsford and Chilliwack from mid-August to mid-September last year. Fraser’s CEO initially said cancers may have gone untreated in a few patients scanned at
Abbotsford as a result.The authority now says significant errors were found
in 11 patients scanned at Abbotsford out of 170 patients whose scans were reviewed.
Webb said it does not appear the errors made any dif-ference in the care patients ultimately received, because doctors rely not just on the results of a scan but a variety of other clinical evidence in diagnosing a patient.
He said a system of peer review of images will be in-troduced for all radiologists so a random sample of each doctor’s work is reviewed by another.

To pursue or not: The police enigma
They’re damned if they do, and damned if they don’t.
Police offi cers are faced with that uncomfortable reality every time they are faced with the decision whether to pursue a fl eeing vehicle.
Last week, a 21-year-old man tried to fl ee from police in Abbotsford.
Robert Minler lost control of his car, sheared off a power pole and slammed into a building.
It was a terribly tragic end to young life. If there was anything remotely fortunate about it, it’s that he didn’t maim or kill someone else.
But then, the blame-game started, as it inevitably does with these incidents.
In this case, Abbotsford Police was alerted by the Mounties of a possible impaired driver on Highway 1, head-ing to Abbotsford.
An offi cer eventually spotted the car
and pulled it over in a church parking lot at Gladwin and Maclure.
He called for backup, and that’s when the driver suddenly decided to take off.
There was a time when the police would immediately have been in high-speed pursuit. However, there have been many collisions between innocent motorists, and the fl eeing suspects or police cars in recent years.
The decision to pursue is now con-sidered a high-risk option dependent on traffi c, road conditions and other factors.
In this case, police did not pursue.Moments later, the driver crashed.Predictably, there are now sugges-
tions the police should have gone after the vehicle, and somehow stopped it, or run it off the road.
And if they had tried to ram the car off the road, and that resulted in the driver’s death, or a fatal collision with another vehicle, who would be cruci-fi ed by the public?
I am continually amazed at how people come up with such pat answers.
Why didn’t the cops put out a spike belt?
Because that takes time and coordi-nation, and a spot where if the fl eeing vehicle goes out of control, it won’t kill someone else.
In this case, the driver crashed within mere moments. There was no time for belts, blockades or anything else.
Remarkably – or perhaps not – the courts even exhibit this sort of cops-can-see-into-the-future thinking.
A case in point – the tragic Surrey story of 11-year-old Tina Burbank. She was killed by the driver of a sto-len sedan initially being pursued by police.
On a July evening in 2000, Tina was riding in the family van, returning home from a picnic with her grandpar-
ents. Blocks away was a teen druggie and his friend, in a stolen Toyota.
A Mountie pulled the car over. Later, in court, the driver said he looked in the rear-view mirror and made eye contact with the cop. Thinking she recognized him for the junkie car thiefhe was, he panicked and stomped on the gas.
The offi cer didn’t know who was in the car. She went after them. The pur-suit lasted all of 30 seconds before the Mountie made the decision to back off.
It didn’t matter. Moments later, the speeding teens
ran a stop sign and slammed into the Burbank’s SUV.
As cruel fate would have it, Tina had just undone her seatbelt to retrieve a ball dropped by her little brother. The impact ejected her from the vehicle, and she was killed.
The judge in the civil case ruled that the Mountie was 15 per cent to blame.
So, initiating pursuit was wrong. And if she didn’t, and the kid killed Tina anyway? The cop would have beenblamed for not trying to stop the car.
It’s damned near impossible to be right.
Andrew HolotaOn Point
Even the courts exhibit this sort of cops-can-see-into-the-future thinking.
Consider out-of-school activities Re: “new” spring break option...I want to say that I do appreciate
the effort that went into the original two-week option that included spring break at Easter.
I believe it was a creative attempt at appeasing both sides of the argu-ment by utilizing existing days off to accommodate those parents who didn’t want to see longer school days in exchange for more days off.
However, I don’t think the impact on
other areas was given enough weight with the original solution. The im-pact on children and families who are involved in activities outside of school would have been huge. It would have resulted in either students being withdrawn from extra-curricular pro-grams or children missing additional school time in order to maintain their participation in those activities.
I completely understand that the mandate of the Abbotsford Board of
Education revolves strictly around the education of our children.
However, if we want our children to grow and excel in areas other than (as well as including) the three R’s, it is essential that their participation in outside activities be given consider-ation too.
Thank you for providing the “status quo” alternative. It got my vote!

In his March 8 letter, “Prohibition-related crime is top threat,” Stan White writes in part, “roughly half of all Canadians support legalizing, regulating and taxing the rela-tively safe, extremely popular God-given plant cannabis.”
I would suggest that many Canadians do not realize the dangers of using the harmful, possibly addictive drug mari-juana.
If the adult popula-tion needs to use the drug so be it, but don’t promote it as a safe drug. What are you saying to our youth?
Health Canada states, “Short-term use of cannabis can produce drowsiness, mild paranoia, anxi-ety or panic. Impaired reaction time, coor-dination and motor skills. Increased heart rate and decrease in blood pressure (may lead to fainting). Cannabis, either alone or in combination with alcohol is a fac-tor in many injuries and unintentional deaths.”
Marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 per cent more carcino-genic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke.

City debatesfunding wish list
Kevin MILLSAbbotsford News
Nine projects make up the city’s funding wish list for 2011.
Topping the list is Highway 11/Sumas Way capacity improve-ments ($14 million), which includes extending Gladys Avenue to reduce traffic conges-tion on Sumas Way. An overpass across the train tracks on Vye Road is also being considered.
Second on the list is funding for a partnership with the YMCA.
Last year, the city agreed to pay $30,000 towards a feasibil-ity study into a $30-million YMCA recreational facility in Abbotsford. If so, the city would agree to pay for half the cost of the structure.
Mayor George Peary said when the “overwhelming success” of both the Abbotsford and Matsqui recreation centres is considered, a YMCA is a good fit for the city.
“And if you can get the facility for 50 cents on the dollar, then it just makes sense,” he said.
A new justice complex (valued at more than $50 million) is third on the priority list.
The project also includes an expansion of Abbotsford police
headquarters.“We should have a Supreme
Court in Abbotsford,” saidPeary.
Council will discuss the listat its Monday meeting and ifapproved, staff will prepareposition papers for each projectso action can be taken whenfunding opportunities arise.
Rounding out the top nine proj-ects are:
4. Tradex upgrades ($1.5 mil-lion);
5. Transportation infrastruc-ture ($4.1 million);
6. Municipal waste diversioninitiative ($1.25 million);
7. Road improvements to linkHighway 1 to the AbbotsfordInternational Airport (cost notyet known);
8. Tourism destination funding– public market and/or culturalfacility (no cost known);
9. Essendene lane-reductionproject ($1.6 million).
In addition to the top nine, thecity has identified two regionalutility projects that requirefunding.
Those projects are theStave Lake Water Source andTreatment Plant and upgrades tothe JAMES treatment plant.

It’s all about Children Serving the City of Abbotsford& Children of the World.
Woman of the yearnominations neededThe Business
and Professional Women’s (BPW) Clubs of Abbotsford and Mission are accepting nominations for the Myrtle Evertt Woman of the Year Awards.
So far, no one has come forward with a nomination.
“There are many fabulous women in our communities. Please encourage one to set aside her modesty and let her name stand,” said Carrie Pratt, nominations chair.
“Men, you are always welcome to submit a nomination as well.”
The nomination process has been streamlined and some of the criteria changed to promote a greater number of nomina-tions. The committee has relaxed the quali-fications this year to allow BPW Club mem-bers to be nominated.
“A large number of women in Abbotsford and Mission that should be nominated for this award are
members of the club, and so could never be included. We’ve removed that stipula-tion, hoping it will increase the number of application we receive,” said event chair Lori Masse.
Another change is the reduction in the number of years a previous nominee must wait to be re-nominated.
“One year there may be three or four deserving women, but only one from
each community canreceive the award. Thismeant truly incred-ible women, who weshould be honouring,could not be nomi-nated again for fiveyears,” said Masse.“We’ve reduced thisto three years, hopingthe nominators willcome forward and tryagain.”
The award was estab-lished in 1994 to recog-nize and honour localwomen for achieve-ment in business or ina profession. The BPWClubs of Abbotsfordand Mission invitecommunity groups,women’s organiza-tions, businesses,and individuals tonominate someonethey know who exem-plifies an outstandingwoman.
This event is also afundraiser for bursa-ries for one graduatingyoung woman fromeach community whois going on to post-secondary studies.
Two nominatorswith the approval ofthe nominee must com-plete the nominationpackage. For informa-tion contact Pratt, 604-819-5602, or [email protected] formsare available at www.bpwabbotsford.ca.
The event will takeplace on May 11.
Myrtle Evertt Award recognizes high achievement

An overwhelming majority of Canadians (90 per cent) are confident about real estate in Canada as an investment, and 85 per cent feel that they are doing a good or excellent job of paying down their mortgage.
This is according to the 18th annual RBC Homeownership Study, which also found that almost three-quarters of Canadians (73 per cent) believe that they or their family are well-positioned to weather a housing drop.
“Canadians believe in the long-term benefits of owning a home including the value it can provide, both personally and as a long term investment,” said Marcia Moffat, RBC head of home equity financing.
“Last year’s survey showed that people were look-ing to buy ahead of rising costs. This year marks a return to more normal levels of purchase intentions and recent housing data reflects this move to a more balanced market.”
Interest in purchasing a home over the next two years has declined slightly, but remains high over-all, as 29 per cent say it’s likely they will buy. This is down two points from 2010, yet higher than any other year since 2006. Compared to last year, fewer Canadians are saying it’s better to buy now (55 per
cent, a drop of 12 points) than wait (45 per cent, up 12 points). Among those likely to buy, over half (57 per cent) are looking to buy within 18 to 24 months while almost one-quarter (24 per cent) are planning to buy in the next year.
The poll found that 40 per cent of Canadians feel the current housing market is balanced equally be-tween buyers and sellers, a rise of five points over 2010. Home buyers list rising home prices (26 per cent) as their number one concern about purchas-ing a home followed by rising mortgage rates (22 per cent).
Confidence is high when it comes to housing pay-ments, as with 69 per cent saying that the value of their home has increased in the last two years, a rise of five points over last year.
In B.C., interest in buying a home has remained steady, with 29 per cent of residents likely to buy a home in the next two years.
B.C. leads the country in looking to buy a new home (30 per cent) rather than resale (70 per cent) and one third (34 per cent) of British Columbians are most concerned with home prices increasing, the most in Canada.

Like many other service businesses, real estate is a very personal business. The outcome depends strongly on the individual providing the service. I believe through listening, coaching, knowledge of the market place, and dedication this allows the seller/buyer the reassurance that I am working for YOU!
Building lasting relationships is important to me.
“Buying my home with Michele by my side was absolutely a joy! She listened to exactly what I needed she found our perfect home. I was very thankful for her patience, expertise, advice, amazing energy, huge heart and radiant personal-ity. 100% will ask Michele for help next time!”

Born and raised in Surrey, I moved to Abbotsford in 1985 and grew to love the community. My roots and commitments in the Fraser Valley became even stron-ger when I married Ingrid and we started a family. With over 20 years experience in sales and marketing, my next challenge was entering real estate. This career plunge, now several years ago, has brought me growth, relation-ships, and the career satisfaction of a job well done beyond my dreams. My relationships with my clients are of the utmost importance to me. I am commit-ted to providing the care, understand-ing, service, and attention they deserve. Accountability, availability, opportunity, and results for my clients are the core of my business.
I am a self-confessed “car guy” and have been racing, restoring, and ap-preciating all kinds of vehicles since the day I brought home my driver’s license. Over the years I noticed how diffi cult it can be to fi nd the right prop-erty for “toys”, from cars to boats to rec-reational vehicles. I decided to dedicate part of my business to specializing in “Real Estate for Car Guys” and everyone looking for unique properties, garages and shops in the Fraser Valley.

Komagata Marutragedy remembered
This article is part of community-wide centennial celebrations honouring the build-ing of the National Historic Site Gur Sikh Temple (est. 1911). These centenary cel-ebrations bring to the forefront the efforts of those first Sikh pio-neers who helped to build our community. In honour of this pio-neering community, the Abbotsford News will be publishing a monthly article to cor-respond with a decade of Sikh Pioneer and Indo Canadian history in the Fraser Valley, B.C. and Canada.
The years between 1911-1920 were tumul-tuous times for Sikhs living in B.C.
Most faced se-vere racism and dis-crimination by the larger Caucasian populations, and the Canadian govern-ment began its restric-
tive policies with the “Continuous Passage” regulation being the most hindering of Indian migration to B.C.
In 1908, the federal government passed into law the now in-famous “Continuous Passage” Act, which
stated that Indians would have to come to Canada via direct passage from India, on a ‘through’ ship. But there were no ‘through’ ships then.
One man living in Hong Kong, Gurdit Singh, wanted to as-sist the plight of his
fellow Indians and pro-vide a way for them toimmigrate to Canadalegally, in accordancewith the ContinuousPassage legislation.
A wealthy business-man, Gurdit was ableto charter a ship,the Komagata Maru,and carry 340 Sikhs,24 Muslims and 12Hindus from one cor-ner of the Britishempire, Hong Kong,to the furthest corner,Vancouver, Canada.
On May 23, 1914, theKomagata Maru ar-rived in Vancouverand anchored nearBurrard Inlet.
One day prior to thearrival of the ship, B.C.Premier Sir RichardMcBride made the fol-lowing statement: “Toadmit Orientals inlarge numbers wouldmean the end, the ex-tinction of the whitepeople. And we alwayshave in mind the ne-cessity of keeping thisa white man’s coun-try.”
Edward Bird, thebarrister who washired by a commit-tee of 15 local Indiansto represent the pas-sengers aboard theKomagata Maru,asked immigration in-spector Malcolm Reidfor permission to go tothe ship and talk to hisclient Gurdit Singh.This simple requestwas denied.
For two months thepassengers of theKomagata Maru, theSikhs and Indians in
The Komagata Maru incident in 1914 highlighted rac-ism against Sikhs that was evident in B.C.

Landmark Realty Receives
Recognition For 2010 Service
www.landmarkrealty.com 604-855-0800
Did you know that 65 per cent of REALTORS® volunteer in their communities? Some support their local food bank, charity or church group. Others mentor young people or coach a sports team. Regardless of the focus of their activities, REALTORS® who volunteer care about their communities and for them, volunteering is not about what they can get, but what they can give to others.
The Landmark Realty of ce in Abbotsford exempli es this extraordinary spirit. They were the win-ners of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board’s highest recognition for community service – the 2010 REALTORS® Make Good Neighbours award, which was awarded this year at the Board’s Annual General Meeting. When Landmark Managing Brokers Jim McCaughan and Bob Johnston walked up to the front of the room to accept the corporate award, Jim said, “This is for all the REALTORS® in my of ce.” He was referring to the 110 REALTORS® who form a supportive presence in the com-munity that is visible on multiple levels – from amateur sport to food drives to providing transpor-tation for community groups. The brokerage has served Abbotsford for 20 years, sponsoring the Abbotsford Minor Baseball Association and the Abbotsford Police Challenge Run, as well as events such as Christmas in August, the November Challenge and a Christmas Light Tour, all in support of the Abbotsford Food Bank. They also offer the use of their 25-seat passenger bus to non-pro t groups, which last year included the Olympic Torch Relay.

Passengers shot, imprisonedB.C., and the authorities of British Columbia, were involved in a heated legal battle. All but 20 passengers (those who already had resident sta-tus) were refused permission to leave the ship.
The agony of the passengers of Komagata Maru did not end even after they left Vancouver. As the Komagata Maru was forced to return to India, it approached Calcutta on Sept. 26, 1914. A European gunboat signaled the ship to stop. The ship was put under guard and all the passengers were held as prisoners.
On Sept. 29, at 11 a.m. the Komagata Maru reached the town of Budge Budge. The port of-ficials called additional police and military to enforce order among passengers, who then were interested in going to Calcutta.
Some of them wished to place the holy Sikh text, the Guru Granth Sahib at the Gurdwara (Sikh temple) there. This resulted in riots, where the police used brutal force and even opened fire on the innocent people.
Of the 321 passengers on the ship at Budge Budge, 62 left for Punjab, 20 passengers died, one drowned, nine were hospitalized, 202 jailed and 28 were unaccounted for.
A number of passengers escaped, including Gurdit Singh. He lived in hiding until 1922, when he was urged by Gandhi to give himself up as a true patriot. He was imprisoned for five years.
It was during this tragic episode in Canadian history that the Sikh gurdwara’s (temples) played such a vital role. Because the Khalsa Diwan Society Abbotsford was a part of the Khalsa Diwan Society in Vancouver, both did
their part in raising community funds for those on board the Komagata Maru.
The Gur Sikh Temple located in Abbotsford, and now designated as a National Historic Site by Parks Canada in 2007, was a key site for Sikhs to come together and help their fellow Indians. Not only was it a religious site, but for those very few Sikh men who lived without their family support, the gurdwara provided them a means for support and guidance.
Thus, through fundraising in both Vancouver and Abbotsford, over $60,000 in pledges was made to support the passengers of the Komagata Maru.
Tragically, the support was to no avail. To this day, the Komagata Maru disaster
weighs heavily on the South Asian community. It is a testament to the early pioneers’ trials and tribulations in a time of racism and discrimina-tion.

Old-time slapstickI
f you find yourself laughing out loud during movies like Mrs. Doubtfire, Tootsie or The Birdcage, then you’ll love the latest play from Fraser Valley
Stage.The non-profit organization is presenting
Charley’s Aunt, an old-time British slapstick comedy, next week at the Abbey Arts Centre addition, 2329 Crescent Way.
The story is set at Oxford University in 1893 – a time when women didn’t attend a suitor’s house without a chaperone.
That tiny detail puts a kink in the plans of young college students Jack and Charley, who are trying to arrange a lunch with their girlfriends Amy and Kitty. Without a chaper-one, their plan is doomed.
It turns out that Charley’s aunt, Donna Lucia D’ Alvadorez, is visiting from Bra-zil, so they organize a lunch around her
arrival. But at the last minute, D’ Alvadorez doesn’t show up.
Naturally, the boys concoct a plan that involves their male friend dressing up as a woman, pretending to be D’ Alvadorez.
When Charley’s aunt shows up unexpect-edly, the afternoon goes sideways.
“It’s a very funny situational comedy,” says director Dick Poulton.
He jumped at the opportunity to direct the play as it’s “pretty close to the heart.”
Charley’s Aunt was the first production that Poulton ever acted in, 34 years ago at Abbotsford Senior Secondary.
“It gave me my start and made me want to become an actor.”
And while the cast was great 34 years ago–
Poulton had the leading role – he adds that it’s not even close to this year’s talent.
The actors range from 60 years old to 16.According to Poulton, they’ve nailed the
slapstick, physical humour of the show.It’s a family event, he adds, with no bad
language, just a few “By George’s.”“It’s been awesome. Everything I hoped it
would be. I’m really looking forward to see-ing what they do on stage.”
The show runs from Tuesday, March 22 to Saturday, March 26 at 7 p.m. There will be a matinee on Saturday, March 26 at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $20 and include coffee and des-sert.
They are available at The Reach, Prospera Credit Union, West Oaks Branch, and Kari-ton House Gallery.
For more information call 604-859-6544 or visit www.fraservalleystage.com.

Ukrainian Easter egg artNothing says Easter like a
finely decorated egg.That’s why the Fraser
Valley Ukrainian Cultural Society (FVUCS) is hosting its annual pysanky work-shop.
Pysanky, the traditional Ukrainian method of paint-ing an egg, will be taught by artist and FVUCS mem-ber Jean Jury. There will be three seminars leading up to Easter.
According to Gord Yakimow, past president of the FVUCS, the art form has been in prac-tise for thousands of years.
It is believed to have spe-cial powers, such as averting evil and bringing a success-ful harvest.
The classes take place on Friday, March 18 from 1 to 4 p.m.; Saturday, March 19 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Saturday, April 9 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Trinity Memorial United Church on George Ferguson Way.
Pre-registration is required. Cost is $20 for adults and $15 for children aged seven to 14.
All supplies are included.For more information and
to register call 604-853-9568.Pysanky is the traditional Ukrainian method of painting an egg.

Ashleyn Sarowa drives past a Prince George Polars opponent during Wednesday’s provin-cial opener. The Hawks beat Prince George and Carson Graham to advance to the semis.
BOAZ JOSEPH Black Press
Dan KINVIGAbbotsford News
After the W.J. Mouat Hawks set a new single-game scoring record for the provincial AAA girls basketball championship on Wednesday, few pundits would have predicted they'd be pushed to the brink of elimi-nation the very next day.
But that's precisely the har-rowing scenario the Hawks found themselves in on Thursday afternoon.
With just over six minutes remaining in their provincial quarter-final matchup with the Carson Graham Eagles at Capilano University, the top-seeded Hawks were in a deep hole, trailing 59-50.
But with their champion-ship hopes on life support, the Hawks' high-octane attack ig-nited in the waning minutes. Mouat finished the game on a torrid 22-0 run, en route to a 72-59 victory.
They moved on to the semifi-nals against South Kamloops, but that result was unavailable at press time. Mouat will play for either bronze (2 p.m.) or gold (4 p.m.) today at Capilano
University."I've never wanted anything
in my life more than this championship, and (losing) was not an option," said Hawks guard Jaslyen Singh, who hit a pivotal three-pointer to help shift the momentum Mouat's way. "We came together, and I couldn't have asked for more from my teammates."
The Hawks were coming off a record-breaking 116-17 vic-tory over the Prince George Polars in Wednesday's opening round, and Mouat coach Paula Thompson felt her team's early struggles Thursday had a lot to do with playing out of control offensively.
"We got overzealous," she analyzed. "We were making these long bomb, cross-court passes, which we don't usu-ally do.
"But in all honesty, we did wear them down when it came right down to it."
Kayli Sartori paced the Hawks with 25 points, 14 re-bounds and nine steals, while Katie Brink (21 points) and Singh (15) also made major of-fensive contributions.
Dan KINVIGAbbotsford News
As impressive hockey home-comings go, Ryan Craig's ar-rival in Abbotsford this week is roughly the equivalent of pulling up to your 10-year high school reunion in a limousine.
The 29-year-old Abbotsford native has carved out a top-notch pro hockey career for himself. He's the captain of the AHL's top team, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, who
are in town to face the Heat in a Friday-Saturday set at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre.
"It's exciting to come back and play in front of lots of family and friends," Craig enthused.
After seven years in the Tampa Bay Lightning or-ganization – which in-cluded 195 NHL games – Craig inked a one-year, two-
way deal with the NHL parent Pittsburgh Penguins over the summer.
He has 38 points in 55 AHL games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this sea-son, and he's also been called up for six games with Pittsburgh.
"It's been good," Craig said, reflecting on his transition to the Pittsburgh organization.
"I've been able to get up there
for six games in Pittsburgh and showed well, proved that I can play in the NHL again. Hopefully it leads to more op-portunities, but as of right now, I'm having a lot of fun playing with Wilkes-Barre."
Craig has helped the Baby Pens fashion a league-leading 45-18-0-0 record.
Friday’s Heat-Penguins result was unavailable at press time. For a recap, visit abbynews.com.

came from behind against the Abbotsford Pilots on Wednesday to claim a 2-1 lead in their second-round playoff series.
Adam Rossi's goal at 17:51 of the first period gave the Pilots the early lead, but they were unable to get any more pucks past Panthers
goalie Nicholas Taylor, despite a30-22 edge in shots. Port Moody’sChris Stew and MaximilianFiedler scored in the third to liftthe Panthers to a 2-1 win.

The Bearcats, who came in seeded No. 6, blasted the No. 3 seed Quebec squad in straight sets, winning 25-16, 25-23, 25-10.
Matt Kaminski led the way for CBC, notching 13 kills and three blocks. Will Quiring had 11 kills, while Emmanuel Denguessi's effective serving earned him player of the game honours.
"Our veteran players were solid and they dictated the play," Bearcats head coach
Rocky Olfert said. "But the whole team played well. We served tough and we scram-bled on defence."
The CBC men moved on to the semifinals on Friday against second-seeded Briercrest College, but that result was not available at press time.
Abbotsford hockey prospect Derek Grant signed his first pro contract on Thursday, agreeing to a three-year entry level deal with the Ottawa Senators.
In signing the deal, Grant is foregoing his final two years of eligibility with the NCAA's Michigan State Spartans. He has joined the Binghamton Senators, Ottawa's AHL affiliate.
"This was not an easy decision, but it is the one I felt that was right for me," Grant said in a press release. "I love everything about Michigan State, and I will always be a Spartan."
Grant, who played
junior B hockey with the Abbotsford Pilots and junior A with the Langley Chiefs, was the Senators' fourth-
round pick (119th overall) in the 2008 NHL entry draft.
The sophomore for-ward was the Spartans'
leading scorer in 2010-11, netting eight goals and a team-best 25 assists for 33 points in 38 games.

GREENWOODRichard (Dick) EdwardJuly 26, 1923-March 4, 2011
Born in Cessford, Alberta, Dick passed away peacefully at Maplewood House, at the age of 87.He was predeceased by his wife Margaret (Mickey) in 2002. Dick is survived by his children Lynne (Ron) Bartsch, Patrick (Ida), Betsy (Trevor) Norton, Susan (Bruce) TenHoeve. He leaves his grandchildren Jason (Amy), Melissa (Darren), Stephanie, Andrew, Taylor, Mitchell and Hayley as well as his great-grandchildren, Leila, Makenna, Tessa and Jaxson, all of whom he loved dearly. They were the sparkle in his eye. Dick is also survived by his siblings Irene, Esme, Fay, Gerry, Joan, Adrian and Michael and a large extended family.Dick moved to B.C. in 1932 where he resided in Chilli-wack for a short time before moving to Fort Langley. After graduating from high school, he joined the R.C.A.F. dur-ing the war. He became a Flight Lieutenant and took on the role of fl ight instructor. Flying was his passion. Dick and Mickey met and married in England and returnedto Fort Langley after the war. They remained there until 1948, when Dick became the Abbotsford area manager for Rogers Feeds, a position he held for over 25 years. He then left to pursue a career in real estate with Block Bros.

After a short time with Pacifi c Pride Chicks, Dick retired and he and Mickey enjoyed trips to their home in Birch Bay, Wa.An Abbotsford resident for 63 years, Dick had been in-volved with several groups including the Abbotsford Lions Club, Abbotsford Curling Club (charter member), Masonic Lodge and the Holein-the-Wall men’s club. He loved baseball, curling, soccer and watching hockey. Dick was very much a family man who will remain known for his honesty, integrity and for being a gentleman rightto the end.The family would like to thank Maplewood House for their care of Dad over the past six years. We would also like to thank Dr. Kulp and the staff of ARH emergency for their excellent care and comfort. A private family service will be held at a later date.
