Matthew Dawes:

As per my usual Saturdays in Kathmandu, I was selling my dairy products at a local

farmers’ market in the cen-tre of the city.

Just before noon, the ground started shaking, everyone started scream-ing and ducked for cover under their booths. When I imagined being in an earth-quake, I thought I would have enough time to get some-where safe, under a table or to a door-frame. That is not how it happened.

I hardly had time to crouch down be-

fore I was tossed on the ground. I looked up to see the old brick pillars next to us collapsing. I tried to get to my feet, but

kept on being tossed to the ground. The pillars collapsed in the op-posite direction of me and crashed into other venders.

When the shaking stopped, I scrambled for my phone to call Nicole.

Saturday is her day off, so she would be at our third-

floor apartment in the south of the city. Knowing that she is six and a half months pregnant with our first child and less mo-

bile made my heart sink. I knelt next to my booth and frantically dialled her num-ber. No answer: her phone would not even ring. I’ve been a praying man all my life, but this was different.

For the first time in my life it felt like my soul was on its knees.

I prayed for her and my unborn son as I dialled her number over and over. The only words that could come out of my mouth were: “Father, let them be alive, Father, let them be alive.”

Finally after 16 failed attempts, my phone rang. Nicole was safe and was outside the house with our landlord, an ex-British Gurkha army commander –

Abbotsford couple survive deadly earthquake in Nepal

More than two years ago, twin broth-ers Matthew and Noah Dawes moved from Abbotsford to Kathmandu with their wives Nicole and Cathryn to start a business and help those in need.

The brothers set up Milkmandu, an organic dairy selling pasteurized milk, while the wives volunteered at an orphanage the dairy helps support. When Cathryn and Noah returned to Canada to start a family, Matthew and Nicole remained in Kathmandu. They were there Saturday when a devas-tating earthquake hit, killing and in-juries thousands. The couple sent The News this account, edited for space.

who I knew would have the situation well under control.I made my way on foot through the downed power lines and

fallen walls to Thamel (the main tourist area of the city), to see if any assistance was needed. It was a mass exodus of hundreds of panicking backpackers. The roads were somewhat clear, so I decided to run back to my truck and make a dash for the south of town to where we live. I didn’t make it far before the road was impassible. Hundreds of people were on the streets in a panic.

Slowly, I made my way south. I exchanged my truck for my motorcycle, knowing I could get around quicker on it. I called Nicole, and she was safe and sound, so I head-ed to the small guest house we own near Patan Durbar square, a historic area of the city. From what I could see, it was the old brick buildings and pe-rimeter security walls that were most affected. There are ancient structures mixed in everywhere with the newer structures. No one was hurt at the guesthouse, even though two of the rooms sustained damage from a par-tial roof collapse.

I knew the oldest part of Patan (Durbar square) would be most affect-ed, so I made my way there next to see if I could help. I was shocked again to see how much had collapsed. Two of the largest temples were in ruins.

Horrified, I saw fathers digging, searching for their children. I quickly joined in the effort; not that I knew what I was doing, I simply started digging and moving bricks from a pile that was believed to have people under it. Many volunteers came with shovels and homemade tools. It was over an hour before we saw the broken, lifeless body of a middle-aged Nepali man. Before he was fully dug out, the mili-tary arrived and took over the search. Night was fast approaching, so I went home as quickly as I could to ensure we had the proper supplies for the night.

Nicole Dawes: The earthquake hit around noon, so

violent I couldn’t be upright. I crawled to a doorway in our third-floor apart-ment and held on for dear life as dish-es, mirrors, book shelves, plants and our water filter came crashing down around me. The really violent shaking continued for about 30 to 45 seconds, most of which I spent crying out to Jesus and thinking I was a goner.

As soon as it calmed down to the point where I could stand up I ran downstairs and joined my landlord’s family out in the open courtyard area. We love our Nepali landlords and he made sure I had some crackers, some water and a place to sit.

By the time [Matt] got home, it was around 4 p.m. This whole time I sat outside just watching the gate in anticipation to see him, and bracing myself through the ongoing aftershocks. It was the biggest relief I have felt, seeing him finally come through the gate, covered head to toe in red brick dust.

Matthew Dawes:The businesses we run here were started to support a local

orphanage. Operated by Vision Nations, it houses 83 children and 13 women, plus staff. Fortunately, the facility was built only

two years ago and is one storey high. Everyone was safe and un-harmed. The orphanage buys its food and supplies a month at a time, and had just purchased what it needed for the month. That said, the doors have been opened to displaced children and fam-ilies from the neighbourhood and it will need resupply shortly. The orphanage is behind large walls and has security guards on site.

Saturday and Sunday highlighted how ill-equipped the Nepali government was, despite being worried about this for the past 40 years. Sadly, the Canadian consult was even less prepared. I stopped in to register, but was shocked to arrive to 18 stranded

Canadians who were told they were not allowed to stay on premises.

Obviously, everyone was scared and angry and many refused to leave. I ended up driving almost all of them to

the British Embassy which was ac-cepting Commonwealth passport holders at the time. No sooner had I dropped them there did I receive a call that they had all been kicked out. [Fortunately], our brothers to the south generously took them all into the American Club compound. If the situation turns worse, that is the first place I will take my family.

We spent Sunday and Monday night at our friend’s home, conserving and

consolidating our supply. Our friend’s home is a one-storey de-tached structure in a gated compound.

In the days to come we hope to assist in the search and relief efforts in any way that we can. If anyone would like to donate to the relief effort, a very reputable operation called Mountain Child is doing a fantastic job of organizing efforts.

Go to mountainchild.org/wp/donateNoah Dawes left Monday for Nepal to take stock of the situation. The

twins’ father, Allen Dawes, told The News that he was “an emotional mess” for the four hours before gettting word that Nicole and Matt were OK. Allan Dawes said he is confident in his sons’ ability to stay safe and keep their heads. “They’re very bright, they don’t take risks. I’m confi-dent they will do the right thing.”

Nicole Dawes sits with children at the Kathmandu orphanage she and her husband support. The orphans all survived the earthquake, but have been sleeping outside under tents as aftershocks continue.

‘Living wage’ calculated at $17.27 for the Valley

Figure based on budget for family of fourVikki HOPESAbbotsford News

Each parent in a family of four currently needs to make $17.27 an hour in order to obtain basic needs and “maintain a decent standard of living,” says a local group.

Living Wage Fraser Valley (LWFV), hosted by Vibrant Abbotsford, has calculated the 2015 “living wage” for the area from Abbotsford to Hope/Boston Bar, including Mission.

The figure was released today (Wednesday).A living wage is calculated based on a budget for a healthy

family of four with two children ages four and seven, and each parent working 35 hours a week for 52 weeks a year.

It takes into account basic expenses such as food, housing, childcare, clothing and transporta-tion, after government taxes, credits, deduc-tions and subsidies have been factored in.

The living wage does not consider home own-ership, debt, holidays, saving for retirement or a child’s education, or caring for a disabled, ill or elderly family mem-ber.

This year’s calculation is up 1.5 per cent from the 2014 figure of $17.02.

Vibrant Abbotsford di-rector Alison Homer said childcare, transporta-tion and food were the biggest drivers of the increase, rising by $50, $29 and $24 respectively each month since last year.

Homer said the living wage is released annu-ally to demonstrate how the real costs of living are changing in local communities.

She said this year the trend is continuing that the cost of living is rising faster than inflation.

“It is progressively harder each year for families to make ends meet, with families having to spend $308 more each month than they did three years ago to cover the same ex-penses,” Homer said.

She said the calculation emphasizes the need for busi-nesses, policy makers and citizens to work together to ensure

communities are affordable places for all residents.Homer said this year’s report highlights the need for govern-

ment policies that benefit lower income families. For example, she said this year’s expanded universal childcare benefit brings down the living wage by only 16 cents, whereas the proposed $10-a-day childcare plan would reduce it by $3.33.

Homer said the living wage is based on the premise that people who work full-time should never have to live in pov-erty.

The Valley currently has two living wage employers – Vancity

and Mission Community Skills Centre – and more are en-couraged to take part. Those interested can become certified through a program offered by Living Wage Fraser Valley.

The organization hosts an information table at Vancity’s Abbotsford branch (32675 South Fraser Way) on Wednesday, April 29 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Final Heat supply fee payment hit

$2.7 millionTotal fees reached almost $8M

Alex BUTLERAbbotsford News

The payout to the Abbotsford Heat hockey team continued to grow in its final year, costing taxpayers almost $2.7 million for the 2013/14 season.

The final season’s supply fee payment was $2,683,040 – the highest in the five years of the deal, which was severed last spring after five years of a 10-year agreement.

The supply fee was part of an agreement between the American Hockey League affili-ate of the Calgary Flames and the city to ensure the team a break-even annual budget of $5.7 million.

Over the first four years of the deal, taxpayers covered a total of $5.24 million in finan-cial shortfalls, bringing total supply fee costs to just under $8 million.

The payment in the inaugural 2009-10 season was $450,000, rising in the next two seasons to $1.37 million and $1.76 million respectively.

In the 2012-13 season, that dropped slightly to $1.66 mil-lion.

Last April, the city paid $5.5 million to terminate the remain-ing five years of the 10-year supply fee agreement signed in 2009.

At that time, it was predicted that the team would incur about $11 million in deficits over the final five years of the deal, to be covered by the city.

Paying out the contract would save about half that amount.

The contract severance also brought in a new plan for the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, which was re-named the Abbotsford Centre.

The city is still pursuing a new anchor tenant for the building.

John Durham and the Klein family arranged an event at the Thunderbird Memorial Square cenotaph last Friday night to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Second Battle of Ypres, in which John’s father fought.

Second Battle of Ypres rememberedA small ceremony was held in Abbotsford on

Friday night to commemorate the 100th an-niversary of the Second Battle of Ypres in the First World War.

The event was held at the cenotaph in Thunderbird Memorial Square and was ar-ranged by John Durham and the Klein family.

Durham’s dad, Private Edwin Durham, was gassed and wounded twice in the battle.

Durham invited members of the Royal Canadian Legion to attend the ceremony, which involved Rev. Art Turnbull saying a prayer, fol-lowed by two minutes of silence and the read-ing of The Act of Remembrance.

Private Durham’s granddaughter, Jennifer Lee,read In Flanders Fields in honour of author Dr.John McCrae, who was present in his medical station on the Yser Canal, attending to soldierswounded in the battle.

A short history of the battle was given byPeter Slade, who laid large file cards on theground with the names of the Canadian bat-talions involved in the front line defending the village of St. Julien, outside Ypres, along with the French and British troops who wereinvolved.

A wreath and candles were placed at thecenotaph by Durham and his family.

Heritage association loses control of park District will not renew maintenance contract at end of year

Kevin MILLSMission Record

Responsibility for the maintenance and management of Fraser River Heritage Park is going to switch hands.

The District of Mission announced Tuesday that it will not be renewing its agreement with the Mission Heritage Association (MHA) for the management and upkeep of the popular park.

The MHA has main-tained the facility for more than three de-cades.

The current agree-ment expires at the end of 2015 and will not be renewed. Maintenance, pro-gramming and rent-als will continue as planned through the remainder of this year.

However, effec-tive May 1, 2015, the district will assume responsibility for all

building construc-tion.

This includes kitch-en renovations, the caretaker’s suite, and

the Clayburn Building. The MHA has also been directed to cease all work on the new observatory, includ-

ing fundraising, until a formal review of the business plan has been completed by district staff.

“We have taken over the buildings, in terms of completing them,” said Mission Mayor Randy Hawes.

He said there is no timeline to finish the various structures, and now would be the right time to “take a few months to sit back and look at it.”

Brian Antonson, president of the MHA said it’s “very disap-pointing” to have this happen – especially the demand to cease fundraising for the observatory.

He is questioning “what statutory au-thority” the district is operating under that gives it the right to tell the association to stop fundraising and working on the build-ings.

“I don’t get that,” he said.

Antonson under-stands that the city wants to evaluate the situation, but halting the fundraising pro-cess makes no sense to him, unless the dis-trict doesn’t want the observatory project to continue.

But Hawes said thedecision to end thecontract with the MHA is part of a larg-er parks plan.

“We have lookednot only at HeritagePark, but all the parksin the district. We be-lieve it’s time for a much broader gover-nance structure thatwill cover all of ourparks.”

Fraser R iver Heritage Park is theonly park in the dis-trict that has a sepa-rate managementcontract. Hawes saidit is time to design a new structure, whether it be advi-sory committee, parkboard, friends of thepark or some other form of governance. Other than having staff to look after district parks, Hawessaid there is no struc-ture.

Not much we can do but wait for it

While we sit here in relative compla-cency, horrified at a presumably safe distance from the devastation that struck Nepal this past week, it should be a wake-up to everyone along the B.C. coast. You just have to ‘Google’ the frequency of earthquakes that rock B.C. almost every day to realize we are also a disaster wait-ing to happen.

Watching newscasts of the Nepal dev-astation, it is easy to understand how so many died due to rickety building construction, and perhaps easy to under-stand our relative disregard due to our presumed superior construction.

However, the degree of safety is as-sumed, since schools built only 30 years ago or so require, and such as Yale Secondary is currently undergoing, seis-mic upgrades, as is the relatively recent

construction of the Mission Bridge over the Fraser.

For some the response is “about time,” – for others it’s “nice to see” – but most just ignore it, despite the fact there are thou-sands of buildings on the Lower Mainland built long before seismic awareness.

Yet, in the past 11 days alone B.C. has recorded 10 quakes, the largest register-ing 6.2 magnitude in Kitimat on Friday, bracketed by two 4.1 magnitude events hitting Haida Gwaii.

By seismic standards those three were relatively mild, though they were ground and building shakers just the same.

In the Seattle area in 2001, a 6.8 tremor caused a billion dollars in damage, and last year was the 50th anniversary of the Alaska quake that sent a tsunami roaring down the B.C. coast and all the way up the Alberni Canal, inundating a substan-tial area of that central Vancouver Island city.

I recall being in a Langley office about 12 years ago when things began to shake.

We rushed outside, and in awe watched hydro poles sway and the parking lot gently ripple . . . “cool.”

No damage, no big scare, but it did re-mind that we are in an earthquake zone, one that science predicts will sooner or later be the recipient of a shaker far greater than the one that has devastated Nepal and the northern India sub-conti-nent.

Warnings are that buildings construct-ed on Fraser Valley floodplain lands, such as Richmond, will not so much fall down as sink into the vast depths of the al-luvial delta, the base soil becoming the consistency of liquid Jell-O due to the vibrations.

Similarly, the dikes that hold back the Fraser River and the ocean waters from

coastal areas are expected to disinte-grate.

Certainly it sounds like a doomsdayscenario, and what has just happened inNepal is a warning that we are far frominvulnerable.

Yet what to do? I don’t have an answer, but I do know

we need to be more prepared for it thanwe were for the oil spill in English Bay acouple of weeks ago.

Certainly, our various and exceptionalemergency responders are equipped toprovide aid, but in a disaster of the magnitude of indescribable destructionthey are resources far too few and far between.

In fact, about all any of us can do is bepersonally prepared to look after our-selves, with little or no aid, for days andpossibly weeks.

That, and a full understanding that onone yet-to-be-determined day, the groundbeneath our feet will be immensely cruel,and unfortunately there is absolutelynothing we can do to prevent it.

[email protected]

Indian Ocean earthquake/tsunami - 2004 Pakistan earthquake - 2005 Haiti earthquake - 2010 Japan earthquake/tsunami - 2011In the past 10 years, the world has seen

numerous major seismic events strike popu-lated areas, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of injuries, and billions of dol-lars in damage.

Last weekend, yet another such catastro-phe occurred, as a devastating earthquake hit Nepal, claiming thousands of lives.

How fitting that Emergency Preparedness Week begins Sunday across this country.

Yet, despite the stark, chilling reminders of the unfathomable power of nature, and how it can literally tear normal life asunder, most people will give the issue here hardly more than fleeting thought.

After all, the disasters listed above all oc-curred a long way from here – the “safe, secure” West Coast.

Or at least, that’s the common misconcep-tion.

We live on the edge of a major fault line in

the Earth’s crust.Scientists are confident it is only a matter of

time before building tectonic plate pressure triggers a cataclysmic release.

When it does, it will be the rest of the world’s turn to watch as the West Coast experiences its own natural disaster.

Despite the official warnings and very real reminders, how many of us are prepared in any meaningful way to deal with such a crisis?

A major earthquake is likely to destroy or damage bridges, roads, sanitation systems, and cut off the supply of electricity, natural gas and water.

Emergency responders will be overwhelmed, at least for several days, perhaps longer. Many people will be waiting in vain for help, assum-ing they can even call for assistance.

Do you have a family emergency plan? At least a few days of water stored safely? Canned or dried food? A means to cook it? What about emergency light, shelter, sanitary measures?

Or are you with the hundreds of thousands of others who are merely hoping “it won’t hap-pen here?”

Another grim reminder

It sounds like a doomsday scenario, and what has just happened in Nepal is a warning that we are far from invulnerable.

In the past several days there has been a great deal of hype regarding the “4/20” smoke-in in Vancouver.

Being an octogenarian, I fail to understand the perceived importance of this event, where approximately 30,000 indi-viduals gather to smoke and promote the possibly addictive, harmful drug marijuana.

Being at my stage of life, I have several concerns and ques-tions regarding the pro-marijuana stance on this illegal prod-uct. I am not opposed to medically, professionally prescribed marijuana.

My main concern is the way the pro-marijuana lobby is promoting this product as a heath enhancer. There have also been statements made such as “parents should not be concerned about use by youth; there should not be any age

restrictions for use; and it’s OK to drive after use.Hopefully there can be some intelligent answers to my ques-

tions.Why should I smoke marijuana? Because it is my right to

decide what I put in my body?Why would I want to put this drug in my body? Is it to

drown out my daily frustration? Because I am bored and need something to get me motivated? It makes me forget about my daily problems?

What would I do instead of smoking pot? How about getting involved in the community such as visiting seniors in nursing homes, taking them for walks or coffee, hiking in our beautiful country, upgrading job skills, helping a neighbour, etc.

Abbotsford man charged with nine counts under Securities Act

Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News

An Abbotsford man has been charged with nine counts of contravening the B.C. Securities Act.

John David Briner, 37, a former securities lawyer in Vancouver who lives in Abbotsford, was charged at the end of March for “failing to comply with a deci-sion made under the act” in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

According to the provincial court database, he was released from custody on $5,000 bail and next ap-pears May 11 in Vancouver provincial court.

Briner’s difficulties with the authorities date back to 2009.

In September of that year, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a complaint in court against Briner, saying he partici-pated in a fraudulent scheme to artificially inflate the market for shares in a penny stock company.

The charges were never proved in court.In April 2010, Briner reached an agreement with

the SEC, consenting to sanctions that included five-year bans from serving as an officer or director of an issuer of certain securities and from participating in any offering of penny stocks. He was also ordered to pay back $52,488 in ill-gotten gains and a $25,000 civil penalty.

Following the agreement with the SEC, a panel from the B.C. Securities Commission (BCSC) also gave Briner a five-year ban.

The Law Society of B.C. began professional mis-conduct proceedings against Briner in July 2014, alleging he misappropriated $50,439 from a client between December 2012 and October 2013.

Briner failed to show up for a discipline hearing on the matter, held last December, but was found to have committed professional misconduct.

Documents in that case state that Briner had ap-

plied the misappropriated funds to another clientand for his own use and failed to co-operate with a Law Society investigation into the matter.

A date to determine disciplinary action has not yetbeen set, although Briner is not currently practising law.

Briner again became the subject of SEC action in January of this year, when the commission an-nounced charges against Briner and 10 others.The SEC alleges that Briner orchestrated a schemewhich entailed creating shell companies suppos-edly exploring mining activities.

The SEC alleges that because Briner was still under his five-year ban from the SEC, he recruited clients and associates to become officers “while hesecretly controlled the companies from behind the scenes.”

Stop-order proceedings by the SEC last year re-sulted in the suspension of the registration for the 20 microcap companies before any investors pur-chased the stocks.

That matter will now be scheduled for a public hearing before a judge to determine whether anyaction should be taken against Briner and the oth-ers, who are accused of violating the anti-fraudprovision of the U.S. Securities Act and engaging in improper professional conduct.

Also south of the border, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced last week that it has filed civil action against Briner anda California man, Matthew Marcus, for engaging in fictitious single stock future transactions and trad-ing non-competitively.

Briner, his wife and their seven children now op-erate a 14-acre market garden farm in the Bradnerarea of Abbotsford, according to information on-line.

Davey Butorac found guilty of murder at second trial

Convicted of killing Sheryl Korroll in 2007Monique TAMMINGABlack Press

A B.C. Supreme Court jury has found Davey Butorac guilty of murdering Langley City sex trade worker Sheryl Korroll.

The jury began deliberat-ing last Monday and returned with its verdict in court in New Westminster on Wednesday.

Butorac, 36, will be back be-fore a judge on May 21 to set a date for his sentencing for second-degree murder.

Such a conviction comes with an automatic life sentence, but parole eligibility can range from 10 to 25 years.

This is the second time Butorac has been convicted of Korroll’s murder.

In 2010, a jury found Butorac guilty of her second-degree murder, as well as the second-degree murder of 46-year-old Gwendolyn Jo Lawton in March 2007 in Abbotsford.

Butorac was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of pa-role for 23 years.

Butorac appealed the convic-

tions, and won new and sepa-rate trials for the murders of Korroll and Lawton.

No trial date has yet been set for the Lawton murder.

Butorac will also be going to trial for the 2006 murder of Aldergrove’s Margaret Redford. The 47-year-old’s body was found in Bertrand Creek, blocks from where Butorac lived with his father.

No trial date has been set for the Redford case.

No motive has ever been made public at the two trials Butorac has already been through. His parents have written letters to the courts, saying he is a loving son. He has no criminal back-ground, and has never had any real employment.

Korroll’s body was found dumped at a concrete plant in Langley City on July 7, 2007. The 50-year-old, small-framed woman lived with her elder-ly parents at the time of her death. The court learned she had been addicted to heroin and crack cocaine for 20 years.

Surveillance footage at the concrete plant was seized by police. It showed the suspect vehicle to be a light-coloured Cavalier with a sunroof, roof rack and tire treads showing it had BF Goodrich tires.

Homicide investigators nar-rowed the possibility of that kind of make, model and year of car with roof rack and sun-roof down to seven in B.C. All seven were examined, and Butorac’s was the last.

The jury heard about DNA found in his car, in his trunk and on his shoes that matched that of Korroll.

Five blows to the head killed Korroll, according to evidence presented at the two trials.

BENEFITING THE ABBOTSFORD FOOD BANKat Matsqui Centennial Auditorium

McHappy Day helps Sally Ann Funds raised will support school food program in Abbotsford

Proceeds from McHappy Day in Abbotsford on Wednesday, May 6 will benefit the Salvation

Army.Five McDonald’s loca-

tions will donate the funds to the Pantry34 program, which ensures

that all youths in the community have access to healthy snacks and beverages at any time of the school day.

The items are distrib-uted at the teacher’s discretion during the school day.

The program runs

from September to June and currently serves 17 schools in Abbotsford.

Salvation Army vol-

unteers assemble the food and beverages in large re-useable bins in the meal centre, and a driver delivers the bins to the schools as needed.

Each school has an average of 10 to 25 kids who regularly use the program.

McHappy Day is held annually across Canada, with $1 from every Big Mac, Happy Meal and McCafe hot beverage sold going

to Ronald McDonald Houses and other chil-dren’s charities.

VIP guests from throughout the com-munity serve custom-ers on this day.

The McDonald’s lo-cations raising fundsfor the Salvation Army are located on Bourquin Crescent, Clearbrook Road, Mt. Lehman Road, and thetwo Walmart locations(on Vedder Way and at Highstreet mall).

Grant to support greener communities

Abbotsford has received $182,000 from the prov-ince in recognition of its commitment to supporthealthier, more sustainable communities.

“Abbotsford has worked hard to reduce carbonemissions through projects such as the transporta-tion plan, waste management strategies, and pro-moting urban green spaces,” said Abbotsford MLADarr yl Plecas.

The Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program (CARIP) provides conditional grants to communi-ties that have signed the Climate Action Charterand supports their efforts to reduce greenhousegas emissions. Communities that report publicly on their progress toward meeting their climate ac-tion goals are eligible to receive a grant equivalentto 100 per cent of the carbon tax they pay directly.

In March 2015, $6.4 million was provided to B.C.communities. Since 2008, the province has provid-ed more than $25 million through the CARIP and 96per cent of communities have signed the Climate Action Charter.

Fountainview Academy Orchestra & Singers

Director Craig Cleveland’s eldest son, James, has been ar-ranging orchestrations and vocals from age 12. Now in Grade 12, James, kept hearing a “before you leave” wish, since James is enrolling in a college down in Tennessee in August. It had to do with an old hymn: Lift Him Up. Cleveland saw a powerful theme running in the music and told his son “Th at song is a story song. Everyone loves a good story and a good story song is better. It’s a story with a picture! It’s a clear picture of salvation!”James’ interest was piqued. Cleveland named the spring tour

Lift Him Up and the design team of students dove into the poster project with that theme. Back in the music offi ce James went to the keyboard with a prayer for ideas and he says that what came is surely a gift from heaven! It’s been a thrill ever since. All 90 young performers will tell you this new arrangement is their favorite—full of key changes, gentle sections contrasted by lots of full-tilt power too, “It’s the centerpiece of our concerts,” a young musician adds. Don’t miss hearing this new arrangement!

Telus supports The Reach heritage initiative

The Reach has received $5,000 in funding from the Telus Vancouver Community Board to support a new heritage initiative, We All Have a Story To Tell.

“The Telus funding allows us to spend meaningful personal time with our community trailblazers, including many immigrants, so we can preserve their stories for future generations who in turn develop a better understanding of what has and will continue to shape their community and their lives,” said Kris Foulds, collections manager at The Reach, and co-ordinator of We All Have A Story To Tell.

The initiative has also provided opportunities for recent univer-sity graduates, currently employed by The Reach. David Seymour and Alisha Deddens have inter-viewed more than a dozen im-migrants who hail from North to South Africa, Asia, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Mexico, Middle East, Eastern Europe. The students have learned interview method-ologies while continuing to collect the important histories, including

challenges and successes, of those who have and continue to shape our community.

The Reach will bring excerpts of these stories to life through online social media and through qual-ity DVD recordings to deliver into classrooms and at public events, while simultaneously maintaining a written and digital stories his-tory in its community archives for public access.

Also part of the project was the We All Have A Story To Tell play, which ran April 23 and 24.

Since their inception in 2005, Telus Community Boards have contributed over $47.1 million to both national and grassroots char-itable organizations and support-ed more than 3,715 community projects geared to youth with the mandate of helping to drive better social outcomes in local communi-ties across Canada.

In addition to the Telus fund-ing, the Chris Spencer Foundation (Vancouver) provided grant sup-port for the project. To learn more visit The Reach at 32388 Veterans Way or online at www.thereach.ca.

A selection of photos will appear in the ex-hibit, which runs until May 28 at The Reach Gallery Museum (32388 Veterans Way) and has an opening reception on Monday, May 4 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

9-11 play by Gallery 7 Theatre explores hope amidst tragedy

Gallery 7 Theatre will present Sarah Tuft’s 110 Stories, a drama featur-ing first-hand accounts of the 9-11 tragedy as experienced by emer-gency responders and residents of New York City.

Presented as a unique ‘site-specific’ experi-ence at The Reach Gallery, this is the final production of Gallery 7 Theatre’s 2014/2015 ‘Refined by Fire’ theatre season.

110 Stories are the tales of people who risked their lives to save those trapped in the towers or buried under the smouldering debris following their collapse. Through their first-person accounts, a story of hope, compas-sion and even humour surges from the ashes, culminating in a power-ful and cathartic experi-ence that celebrates the human capacity to rise above adversity.

“We’re experiment-ing with format for this powerful, yet inspiring production,” said Ken

Hildebrandt, Gallery 7 Theatre’s artistic direc-tor. “By presenting 110 Stories at The Reach, we’re attempting to create the feel of an emergency shelter or rescue command cen-tre. We’ve taken away all the usual trappings of theatre such as fancy sets and costumes in order to bring focus to these incredible stories of courage and valour.”

Directing the play is Carissa Boynton. She will be recognized for her directorial work

on such Gallery 7 Theatre productions as Tuesdays with Morrie and The Foreigner. The play will be performed by an ensemble of both new and veteran Gallery 7 Theatre performers, including Sue Backs, David Brenneman, John Dawson, Deradji Kaci, Rachel Mackenzie, Tom Matty, Brandon Motz, Shelley Picard, Nicole Provost, Gura Sidhu and Meghan Somerville. The technical manager for 110 Stories is Bryan Cutler, costume design

and production pho-tography is by DiannaLewis and sound designis by Eli Funk.

The production willbe stage managed byCarrie Brenneman.

110 Stories runs fortwo weeks only, May 1,2, and 6 to 9 at 7:30 p.m.with discount matineeson May 2 and 9 at 2 p.m.at The Reach Gallery(32388 Veterans Way). Tickets for evening per-formances are $20 foradults, $18 for studentsand seniors, $17 forgroups of eight or more and $12 for children 12 and under.

Tickets for matinee performances are $15and $12 for children 12 and under. They can bepurchased at House of James (2743 EmersonSt.) at 1-800-665-8828 or604-852-3701 or onlineat www.gallery7theatre.com.

Audiences are ad-vised that there is somestrong and course lan-guage contained inthe play important to the honest portrayal of characters and events.

Co-founder of Love Guatemala passes awayCelebration of life in Abbotsford for Phil Bergen

An Abbotsford man who, with his wife, formed an organiza-tion to help people in Guatemala died on April 13 of a heart attack.

Phil Bergen, 62, passed away while serving in the Central American country where he and his wife, Judy, had been living.

The couple have been part of Abbotsford for the last 25 years, working in the community and local churches.

Phil originally worked at Town and Country Floor Design and, more recently, had been doing home renovations.

His son-in-law Cam Hall said Phil was known for his vibrant personality and car-ing nature.

“Those he met and knew were often greeted with a hug, and always with a smile. He was the type of person that bright-ened a room and made you feel wel-come and accepted,” said his son-in-law

Cam Hall.After a trip to visit

one of their three chil-dren in Guatemala many years ago, Phil and Judy felt called to respond to the needs of the Guatemalan people.

They sold their home, discarded most of their possessions and moved to Guatemala.

They formed an or-ganization called Love Guatemala and in-vited other Canadians to give time and/or money.

Over the coming years, Love Guatemala flourished. Many teams arrived from North America and many needs were met, including build-

ing houses for widows, planting crops on be-half of local farmers and feeding people at their local soup kitch-en.

Phil was well-known

in the Guatemalan communities where he and Judy worked. He was often greeted with a cheerful call of “Felipe!” as he walked the streets.

Phil suffered a heart attack while serving people in the soup kitchen, and quickly passed away.

A celebration of life takes place in Abbotsford on Thursday, April 30 at 1 p.m. at Northview Community Church, 32040 Downes Rd.

Donations for Love Guatemala can be made at ctenc.ca/bergen.

Schmidt excited as World Cup nearsWomen’s 23-player roster unveiled Monday

Tyler OLSENAbbotsford News

Abbotsford’s Sophie Schmidt will wear red and white on home turf at this year’s Women’s World Cup after being named to the 23-woman national team roster Monday.

Schmidt’s inclusion in the squad is no surprise, as the 26-year-old W.J. Mouat grad has suited up for Canada 131 times over the past five years. Schmidt was a key member of Canada’s bronze medal-winning squad at the 2012 Olympic Games, starting every game for the team.

The roster was named Monday at a special event in downtown Vancouver.

“The 23 players we’ve chosen today will rep-

resent our country with pride and honour,” saidhead coach John Herdman.

Earlier this month, Schmidt told the News that she was excited for the tournament, but also hadsome nerves.

“It’s so close, you kind of want it just to start,” she said. “I feel real good heading into the World Cup. I definitely feel the fastest and strongest I’ve been.”

Schmidt has been living in Vancouver with theteam as it prepares for the World Cup, which willbe the largest soccer tournament ever hosted in Canada. The tournament will take place at venues across the country, with the final being

NET RESULTS

JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News

Canada ranked No. 8 in the world

played July 5 at BC Place in Vancouver, a quick walk from the national team’s living quarters.

“Canada wants us to do real well and we want to do well, and it’s a matter of going out there and putting in a good performance in,” Schmidt said.

The World Cup includes 24 teams and kicks off June 6. Games will be played in six cities: Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal and Moncton. Canada will play its first two group-stage games in Edmonton and its third in Montreal.

If Canada finishes top in their pool, they would play their first elimination game June 21 in Vancouver.

Canada is ranked eighth in the world heading into the tournament.

After losing all three games at the last Women’s World Cup in 2011, Herdman was named head coach and led the team to its stirring 2012 performance.

Although the women’s game once featured only a few dominant teams, more countries are now fielding com-petitive squads.

Germany is now the top-ranked team in the world, followed by the United States, France and Japan.

“It’s kind of cool to see the gap closing in the women’s game,” Schmidt said. “I think for Canada, it’s going to take a lot for us to beat the best, because we’re not quite there at that threshold there, but it’s going to make for some real good, exciting soccer games and I think that’s what the crowd wants.”

When she arrives for her rookie season at UFV, Brittney Zacharuk will see some familiar faces on the pitch.

Zacharuk will become the fifth player on the current Cascades women’s soccer roster to have played club soccer for Richmond’s TSS Academy.

The other players with TSS roots are defenders Alexis Cattermole and Megan Baird, and forwards Desiree Caruso and Stefania Memme.

Zacharuk is a midfielder from Delta and attends Holy Cross Regional secondary in Surrey.

“We are so excited that Brittney is joining our program,” said Cascades

coach Rob Giesbrecht. “She’san intelligent soccer player,she’s technically advanced and has the ability to im-pact games from a varietyof positions. She excels atboth keeping the team inpossession as well as deliv-ering the critical pass thatunlocks an opponent’s de-fensive shape.”

Other members of the Cascades’2015 recruiting class include Gurneet Dhaliwal, Harman Billen and Jasmine Mangat.

Last season the UFV women’ssoccer team won the Canada Westsilver medal and went on to fin-ish fourth at the 2014 CIS nationalchampionships in Quebec City.Abbotsford Junior Cardinals outfielder Michael Taylor safely returns to second base during a game Sunday against the

Victoria Junior Mariners. The Cards won the doubleheader by scores of 9-0 and 8-6.

George was predeceased by his father and mother, Isaac and Elizabeth Koop, his adoptive parents Abram and Catherina Froese, his wife, Irma (nee Funk), his younger sister Mary and his other brothers and sis-ters in Russia.George will be forever missed by his loving wife, Sue (nee Schmidt); his 6 children Ed Froese (Vi), Gerald Froese (Viv-ian), Bettyanne Neufeld (Ron), Jack Froese (Debbie), Eileen Deros (Glenn) and Marjorie Toews (Dan), 21 grandchildren, 40 great grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.George moved from Russia to Canada with his adoptive par-ents and sister, Mary, at the age of 13 and settled in Steinbach, Manitoba. In 1944 he moved with his family to a dairy farm

in Matsqui, BC. In 1945 George married Irma and settled in Mt. Lehman where he founded Bakerview Farms, a commer-cial egg farm, and raised his 6 children. George enjoyed his life as a chicken farmer and was very proud of the fact that the farm has remained in the fam-ily. George enjoyed his many hours of fishing at Loon Lake with his family, traveling the world and spending time with his grandchildren.

A viewing will be held on Thursday, April 30, 2015 at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Road, Ab-botsford, from 9-10:30 a.m. immediately followed by a burial service at Maclure Road Mennonite Cemetery for family and close friends. A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, May 30 at 11:00 a.m. at Bakerview MB Church, 2285 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford.

George was always grateful for the Mennonite Central Commit-tee’s help in relocating his fam-ily during its move from Russia to Canada. He supported MCC all of his life. Donations in his name would be appreciated to help them continue the work in alleviating hardship through-out the world.
