Rescue workers continue search for Mark Taylor after ski accident
ALEX BUTLER Abbotsford News
Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News
Crews were hoping to resume their search yesterday afternoon or Tuesday morning for a City of Abbotsford depart-ment head who fell down a crevasse while backcountry skiing in the Rockies.
Mark Taylor, the general manager of
the City of Abbotsford’s parks, recre-ation and culture department, has been missing since just before midnight on Tuesday, March 12.
He had been backcountry skiing with two others – his daughter in her 30s and a man in his 60s – on the B.C. side of the Wapta Traverse, located northeast of
Golden on the B.C.-Alberta border in the Canadian Rockies.
Omar McDadi, spokesperson with Parks Canada, said the trio were on a five-day excursion in the area – a popular mountaineering spot – and would have been staying at huts along the way.

Bad weather hampers searchBlizzard conditions have delayed efforts
As of Monday afternoon, Mark Taylor, general manager of Parks, Recreation and Culture for the City of Abbotsford, was still missing after a ski accident near Golden.
Photo courtesy of Click Media Works
McDadi said the three were expe-rienced skiers who were carrying equip-ment that included emergency beacons and shovels.
“From our estima-tion, they had the right equip-ment,” he said.
A distress signal was received by authorities late Tuesday night, and Parks Canada was alerted at 12:26 a.m. Wednesday, McDadi said.
He said the three skiers would have encountered bliz-zard conditions at the time.
Search and rescue crews were unable to get to the site of the distress signal all day Wednesday and Thursday.
“We made numer-ous attempts to get to the area … but we couldn’t because of blizzard conditions and high avalanche danger,” McDadi said.
A break in the weather Friday morning allowed res-cue crews to reach the other two ski-ers, who had made a snow cave to stay warm.
The pair said that they had received a signal from Taylor’s emergency ava-lanche beacon from a point 35 metres deep.
McDadi said this is not a confirmation of how deep Taylor would have fallen down the crevasse, as the beacon could have dropped a dis-tance.
Continued bad weather hampered their attempts to reach the point since then, but conditions were expected to change later Monday or on Tuesday morn-ing.
“We’re kind of in a holding pattern right now … Our goal is to put somebody into
the crevasse. We re-main committed to that goal,” McDadi told The News on Monday afternoon.
Taylor has been with the City of Abbotsford for more than 12 years. He was an integral
part of the bid that landed A b b o t s f o r d the 2016 BC Summer Games
and has been working for the city to examine a pos-sible partnership with the YMCA to create a new facility in Abbotsford.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark and his family and we respect their need for privacy during this difficult time,” said Mayor Bruce Banman.

Man charged with violent assault, robbery2010 incident involved a woman attacked when she arrived home
Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News
A Vancouver man has been charged in connec-tion with a violent break-in and assault that took place in Abbotsford in 2010.
Ryan Christopher Jensen, 22, was arrested last Friday (March 8) at a residence in Surrey and has been charged with break and enter, robbery and assault causing bodily harm.
Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said Jensen was identified by DNA left at the scene.
The incident occurred at about 6 p.m. on Oct. 26, 2010, when a 20-year-old
woman returned home to her second-floor town-house in the 34900 block of Old Yale Road.
She noticed damage to the door, and when she entered the suite she saw two men loading video games, clothing and elec-tronics.
One of the men fled, and the other attacked her, hit-ting her several times in the face before leaving.
The injured woman called police, and was taken to hospital for treat-ment of facial injuries that included bruises, lacera-tions and a fractured nose and cheekbone.
Police issued a compos-ite sketch of the assailant, along with a public plea for assistance in tracking down the two men.
MacDonald said the ar-
rest of Jensen was the re-sult of a “courageous vic-tim and diligent investiga-tors” from the APD’s major crime unit, patrol division and forensic identification section.
The second suspect has not been caught.
Jensen is next scheduled to appear in Abbotsford provincial court on March 26.
According to the provin-cial court database, he has a criminal history that includes convictions for assault, uttering threats, and breaching his condi-tions. He is also scheduled to go to trial in May for a robbery that occurred in Vancouver in August 2012.
This composite sketch was released when the incident happened in 2010.
An Abbotsford man has been ar-rested in connection with a medi-cal marijuana grow-op in Chillwack that had 15 times its allowable limit.
Nearly 2,000 plants were seized from the home in the 7300 block of Ramsay Place, according to Chilliwack RCMP.
“We have encountered several abuses to the medicinal marijua-
na system, but this one was pret-ty significant,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “This is a continued focus for our drug unit due to the danger these operations pose to the com-munity.”
Police also recovered an improperly stored firearm, a significant amount of cash, and “dried marijuana bud that looked ready for distribution.”
Prior to the search, police learned the property was home to multiple licences from Health Canada to pro-duce marijuana for a medicinal pur-pose.
A 32-year-old Abbotsford man was arrested at the residence without incident and was released.
He is scheduled to appear in court in June.

A new route for traffic, and politics?
Accustomed to being fed “brunch”, I’m sure my animals felt rudely awak-ened as I tossed them hay at 5:30 a.m. last week, the poodles equally sur-prised to be tossed outside so early to take care of business.
However, the morning machinations had to be undertaken early if I was to catch the ferry to Victoria in time to attend the last legislative session of the current government.
Surprisingly, and despite the arti-ficially low 50 km speed limit along Zero Avenue, it took only slightly more than an hour to reach the toll booths at Tsawwassen. Which made me won-der why it couldn’t be achieved even more quickly if there was an efficient high-speed southern east-west connec-tor as an alternative to the overbur-dened Highway 1.
After all, the Fraser Valley is the growth centre during the next few decades, and unlike Vancouver which is some 50 km north of the border, Abbotsford and much of Langley is sit-uated right on it, so demand and need for such a route can only increase.
And it isn’t just quicker access to the Island ferries that is the issue, but Vancouver International Airport as well. In fact I can’t remember when I travelled from Abbotsford to the air-port that I didn’t take Zero or 8th/16th Avenues to get there.
Quicker, convenient and far less traf-fic than trying to wend my way through Vancouver or New Westminster.
Certainly a southern transportation corridor linking the 99 Freeway with Highway 1 in Abbotsford has long been talked about, with 16th Ave the favourite since it would also provide direct access/egress to Abbotsford Airport.
However, that route would mean considerable land acquisition at high-er prices, and either myriad driveways entering the route or even more space for parallel roads on each side to pro-vide residential/farm access.
Zero, on the other hand, has far fewer
entryways, and only on the north side. A single parallel road would ad-dress access and, for safety purposes, separate the homesites from the high-speed traffic.
On the southern side, all that would be needed is a high fence to pre-
vent wildlife collisions, while at the same time make our American friends happy that their country would be more secure from terrorists, drug run-ners and enterprising Canadians try-ing to sneak through the berry fields to buy cheap gas.
This route would also provide better access to the border crossings at both Aldergrove and Pacific Highway for both cross-border shoppers and com-mercial transport. And to avoid screw-
ing up the entries to the crossings the new route could swing up from Zero to 8th just west of the Aldergrove cross-ing, while providing an even more seamless route to Abbotsford Airport. Avoiding a traffic mess at the Pacific Crossing would simply mean rerout-ing just east of 176th, again up to 8th, to link up with that recently upgraded roadway to the 99 Freeway.
Simple, smooth and fairly easily ac-complished, and at far less cost than rewhacking 16th Ave into a sort-of freeway.
So if you’ve ever wondered what goes through the minds of some people as they sit for an hour and 40 minutes on a fog and rain shrouded ferry, the above is one of the answers.
As to the last legislative session, it was interesting . . . even more so be-cause I was there for the first one of this government some 12 years ago.
The big question however, certainly for many of those I watched on the Legislative floor last Thursday, will not be whether the May 14 ‘employ-ment review’ results in a new gov-ernment, but a ‘new’ political party leading it.
It’s easy to be a pipeline opponent these days, especially in B.C.
The ham-fisted public relations ap-proach by Enbridge, in attempting to sell its Northern Gateway proposal, has made it easy to oppose oil pipelines. But opponents and the rest of us need to consider some basic facts.
Pipelines are an economic and es-sential way to send large quantities of commodities like oil a long distance. The alternative means of getting oil to a refining or shipping point are rail or truck. Neither is any safer.
Northern Gateway is proposing a new pipeline along a new route. Enbridge failed to properly consult and make partnerships with native people who live all along its route. Given the lack of treaties in B.C. and court decisions over the past 30 years, native groups will be able to either tie up the process in court for years, or give it an outright veto.
A refinery in Kitimat, proposed by Black Press owner David Black, would be far better than shipping oil overseas,
but it makes more sense with a pipeline to deliver the oil.
The Trans Mountain oil pipeline, which runs through Abbotsford, is now owned by Kinder Morgan. The company has proposed a twinning of its 60-year-old pipeline, and shipping more oil out of Vancouver harbour.
Some pipeline opponents think that by stopping or delaying pipeline projects, they will somehow end Alberta oilsands development or curb global warming.
Not so. The oilsands will continue to produce oil. It will simply be transport-ed by another means.
If they are serious about reducing global warming, a good place to start would be in backing proposed LNG plants for the B.C. north coast. The sooner China can replace its coal-fired power plants with those fired by natural gas, the better it will be for the environ-ment.
However, it’s always easier to be against something than in favour.

Some realities about oil
A single parallel road would address access and, for safety purposes, separate the homesites from the high-speed traffic.

Traffic keeps on moving, while pedestrians are at riskI would like to
add to Colin King’s comment in the Thursday, March 14 edition of the Abbotsford News.
I also am a pedes-trian and on sev-eral occasions have very nearly been hit. The most hor-
rible experience was when I was cross-ing Gladwin Road on South Fraser Way. I was halfway through the cross-walk, the walk sign was still on, when three trucks saw a chance to turn left and without regard
to me turned, going north, I had to jump back several steps to avoid being hit.
Another place that is very dangerous is where Gladwin meets South Fraser Way. Motorists come roaring down South Fraser Way to turn
right onto Gladwin without checking the crosswalk.
Colin King was told that traffic must keep moving; how-
ever, how will the motorist feel who eventually kills a pe-
destrian in order to keep traffic moving?

To ICBC: Please make up your minds. Are B.C. seniors the best drivers with the fewest and least serious driving incidents, or are they not? I am sure the statistics will clearly show that seniors are the other drivers.
If so, then why not call off all
the driving tests for seniors and, instead, put your efforts into improving the driving habits of the 30-50 year old drivers who, most of the time drive well over the speed limits and who are involved in the most accidents.
Robert T. Callahan
Seniors are safe drivers

Dedicated volunteers to receive Queen’s medalTwo Abbotsford residents
will receive the Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for their work with the Parkinson Society British Columbia (PSBC).
Betty and David Giesbrecht
of Abbotsford will receive the honor during a presentation on Saturday, March 23 during the PSBC’s annual general meeting in Vancouver.
The couple have been sup-porting PSBC since 1996,
when Betty was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
They are members of the local support group, and vol-unteer to assist with various activities.
Betty currently serves as
secretary and often assists the group facilitator in planning meetings. David notifies the local media of the monthly meetings.
“Without the support and in-volvement of people like Betty
and David, we would not be ef-fective in our role as educators and advocates for people with Parkinson’s disease in B.C.,” said Diane Robinson, CEO of PSBC.
“We are truly grateful for their support.”
Building permit values in Abbotsford slipped 14 per cent in January 2013 from December 2012, with a drop in non-residential permits offset slightly by a rise in residential permits, according to Vancouver Regional C o n s t r u c t i o n Association’s anal-ysis of Statistics Canada’s building permit report.
Seasonally ad-justed total build-ing permit values in Abbotsford fell in January 2013 to $16.1 million from $18.8 million in December 2012.
Seasonally adjust-ed non-residential permit values fell 78 per cent to $1.5 mil-lion from $6.8 mil-lion in December. Commercial permits fell to near zero in January, and in-dustrial permits dropped 32 per cent to $1.4 million from $2.0 million.
The seasonally ad-justed value of resi-dential permits in-creased 22 per cent to $14.7 million in January 2013 from December’s $12 mil-lion.

A common misconception for the do-it-yourself handyman is that all must be well with the electrical repair or installation if:
• the objective of bringing electricity from one point to another has been reached• the circuit breaker has not tripped• the installation has not arced, shorted out or ignited
Doesn’t it make more sense to have the work done by a qualifi ed professional who is trained and experienced in correct procedures,follows the Electrical Code in safe installations, looks after all of thecritical details, then backs up his work with the best warranties and guarantees in town?
For peace of mind in knowing that your electrical work is done correctly, call us.
FACT: Incorrectly installed electrical components and improperly wired connections, although unsafe, may function just fi ne - for a period of time.The question is, for how long?
FACT: Electricity is not very forgiving. When it fails, the result can be anything from a power loss or damaged appliances, to a devastating fi re.Are you willing to take that risk?

Entrusting any part of the electrical system to a handy-man, because he may be familiar with construction is like allowing the janitor to remove your appendix just because he works in the hospital.
Since the BC Safety Authority demands such a high level of skill and experience to make changes to any electrical system, homeowners are wise to expect and demand the same.
An Electrical Contractor employs certified electricians and apprentices to install or repair electrical systems following the Canadian Electrical Code requirements. He must carry the proper licensing, insurance policies and bonds to protect the customer. His electricians and apprentices must be covered by a Workers Compensation (WCB) insurance policy, otherwise the homeowner is held responsible for any injuries occurring on their property. Only the electrical contractor (not a handy-man or any electrician) can purchase the electrical permit required for electrical work.
Homeowners should request to see proof of all the above before any electrical work begins.
Keep your home and family safe. Call Blue Crest Electric Ltd. Entrusting your electrical repairs, installations and renovations to a professional, just makes good sense.
Electrical is a federally and provincially regulated profession. This means that it is illegal for anyone, other than a licensed electrical contractor, to provide and charge you for electrical installations, renovations and almost all repairs. The Canadian Electrical Code, which is updated every 3 years, has very specific rules and installation requirements that must be strictly followed to ensure a safe installation or repair.
The risk of fire, personal injury and loss increases when:
Electrical work is not done by a certified electrician who performs circuit load calculations and follows the most recent Electrical Code requirements.
Correct procedures, techniques and products are not used for electrical installations and repairs.
Questionable work is not inspected and corrected by a trained professional.
Electrical systems are neglected and not checked regularly for deterioration and wear.
Your Satisfaction Guaranteed … 100%. All work quoted in advance and performed by back-ground checked, drug-tested, qualified electrical professionals.

Hawks edge Lions in fifth-place gameDan KINVIGAbbotsford News
The W.J. Mouat Hawks and the Yale Lions both dreamed of playing on centre court at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday, but it’s safe to say the fifth/seventh placing game wasn’t part of that dream.
Both Abbotsford teams in the B.C. boys AAA high school bas-ketball championship draw saw their title hopes snuffed during Thursday’s quarter-finals – Mouat suc-cumbing 72-69 in over-time to White Rock Christian Academy, and Yale falling 96-85 to St. George’s.
Relegated to the consolation side, both teams were victorious on Friday – Mouat beating South Kamloops 77-70 and Yale topping Burnaby South 86-79 – to set up a crosstown clash in their finale on Saturday.
The Hawks pre-vailed 81-71, and the result can be classified an upset – the Lions had won all three previous meetings be-tween the two teams this season.
Tristan Etienne (17 points, 18 rebounds) and Daniel Pawliuk (17 points) tied for team-high scoring honours for Mouat, while Corey Hauck (14 points, six assists) and Jesse Feenstra (12 points) also scored in double digits.
Yale’s JJ Pankratz scored a game-high 26 points, and Jauquin Bennett-Boire (16 points, 11 rebounds) and Abraham Falls (15 points) also chipped in offensively. Lions centre Patrick Vandervelden was a force inside, swatting 11 shots and hauling down 10 rebounds.
“Mouat shot the ball well and they played well, but there were
some good highlights in the game for us,” Yale coach Al Friesen said, alluding to Vandervelden’s shot-blocking exploits.
Four local players earned tournament all-star nods. Pankratz and Etienne were
named to the second team, while Bennett-Boire and Hauck were third-teamers.
Hauck authored one of the tourney’s most memorable moments vs. White Rock, swish-ing a buzzer-beating three-pointer over the
outstretched arms of two defenders to send the game to OT.
The Walnut Grove Gators won the AAA title, edging White Rock 59-53 in the final.

Cascades struggle at nationalsDan KINVIGAbbotsford News
Al Tuchscherer could have easily writ-ten off his team’s two-and-out performance at the CIS women’s basketball nation-als as one of those
proverbial “valuable learning experiences.”
His University of the Fraser Valley squad was, after all, making its debut at the CIS champion-ship, and they were seeded seventh in
the eight-team draw at the University of Regina.
But that’s not how the Cascades head coach is wired. In the aftermath of his team’s two defeats – 62-57 to the Saint
Mary’s Huskies in Friday’s quarter-finals and 70-52 to the McGill Marlets on the consola-tion side Saturday – Tuchscherer be-moaned a missed op-portunity.
“It was pretty dis-appointing, there’s no doubt about it,” said Tuchscherer, whose Cascades were never ranked lower than No. 4 in the nation during the regular season and peaked at No. 1 in January.
“Quite frankly, it’s an unacceptable result for the sea-son we’ve just had. There’s a lot of unfin-ished business here. I don’t think we played particularly well.”
The Cascades trailed Saint Mary’s by 14 points at the start of the fourth quarter on Friday, but reeled off a 13-0 run to get within a point at 51-50. The Huskies staved off UFV down the stretch, however.
Tuchscherer was perturbed by the of-ficiating – UFV was whistled for 21 per-sonal fouls compared to just eight for the Huskies, and Saint Mary’s boasted a 22-9 edge in free throw at-tempts.
“It sounds like sour grapes at this point, but in the middle of it, you’re like, ‘This can’t be happening right now,’” he said.
“Every 50-50 battle was a foul for us. It was beyond crazy.”
UFV struggled of-fensively vs. McGill, shooting just 27.7 per cent from the field.
The Cascades did get one big win last week – fourth-year guard Alexa McCarthy took home the Sylvia Sweeney Award at the CIS All-Canadian banquet on Thursday. The award recognizes the Canadian women’s university basketball player who best ex-emplifies the values of athletics, academ-ics and community involvement, and McCarthy became the second UFV player to win the award, join-ing Michelle Buhler (2007-08).
Tuchscherer said he’s proud his pro-gram is establishing a legacy that extends beyond the game of basketball.
“She (McCarthy) kind of stole the show, too, at the banquet with her acceptance speech,” he said. “It was just phenomenal.”

Heat shoot down RampageThe Abbotsford Heat weath-
ered a wild third period in San Antonio, ultimately outlasting the Rampage 5-4 in a shootout on Sunday.
The Heat took a 2-1 lead into the final frame, courtesy of goals from Sven Baertschi and Brett Carson.
The two teams would engage in a true Texas shootout in the final 10 minutes of regulation. San Antonio’s Brendon Nash and Abby’s Max Reinhart exchanged goals just over two minutes apart, but the Rampage responded with two goals in 14 seconds, with Jack Combs and John McFarland doing the honours, to take a 4-3 lead.
Blair Jones bailed out the Heat, scoring with 9.2 seconds left in regulation to knot the score.
Overtime solved nothing, and Abbotsford goalie Barry Brust dominated the shootout. He stopped the four Rampage shoot-ers he was required to face, while Jones and Ben Walter were suc-cessful on their attempts to lift the Heat to victory.
Sunday’s game marked the end of the Heat’s seven-game road trip. They return to the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre for a Friday-Saturday set with the Rockford IceHogs (7 p.m. both nights).For more Heat coverage, visit abbynews.com

Chances Playtime Gaming opened the doors of Abbotsford’s own � rst-class gaming facility in 2009. Chances Play-time, located at 30835 Peardonville
Road, has provided gaming entertainment for many years, but is now upping the ante, and go-ing all in with new renovations.
Art Villa is the coordinator of business develop-ment, and has been in the gaming industry since 1998. He says the biggest change over the years is that facilities have evolved to offer the full ex-perience, including better dining, live entertain-ment and electronic gaming.
“As big facilities change, the smaller ones need to change as well,” says Villa of the recent ren-ovations.
“YOU HAVE TO KEEP UPGRADING TO KEEP
CURRENT.”
The exterior of Chances Playtime has opted for a cleaner appearance, and has undergone mi-nor changes to its landscape. However, it’s the inside that truly boasts a transformation, and where most of the upgrades have taken place.
Villa explains that the gaming � oor has been re-freshed with the addition of new machines (from 125 slots to 186). Because of the steady trend
away from bingo, the play area has been down-sized, and as a result has opened up new private seating areas, including a VIP lounge.
Chances Playtime now offers its very own restau-rant with RED 21. The Gaming Tap + Grill serves high quality main dishes and sizeable appetizers at affordable prices. With a new liquor licence and a variety of beer and wine taps, it ensures that there is always a delicious drink nearby. A unique feature of the restaurant is its bar top slots that allow for continuous play, even while enjoying a meal.
“Most people don’t come alone, so it’s nice to have an area where you can sit, enjoy good food, watch a game or take a break,” explains Villa.
Evolving from a bingo facility to a well-rounded community gaming centre, Chances Playtime is looking to expand their demographic and offer services to guests from young to senior, new or returning.
“For some people, the changes mean coming back to see us again for the � rst time,” says Villa. “For others it’s their introduction to what’s new on the � oor, and experiencing the menu.”
When asked about any future renovation plans, Villa laughs with relief, saying that he is happy with what they have done for now, “However, we are always evaluating what’s happening on the gaming � oor and what can be improved.

HELEN CLARK 1924-2012
Born as Helena Dyck in Harris Saskatchewan on October 24, 1924 she weighed in at 1 pound and was kept warm on the oven door at home. Grow-ing up she was not always content with the Status Quo, sometimes an instigator, but always willing to break with tradition.Moving across the prairies she met and married her Bible School Teacher and her love Abe Koop, they continued on to BC where she had six boys and 17 grandchildren.Widowed in 1993, married a second time in 1999 to Harry Clark, enjoyed another Love, retirement, and wonderful friends. Widowed again in Au-gust 2012 and left us to be with the Lord on December 4.Her passion of art evident in the many pieces left in char-coal, acrylics, and oil. She loved the water and spent many years in synchronized swimming, practicing, having fun, and competing. Her love of music has left many memo-ries of her fi lling the house with wonderful melodies on the piano amidst a Heavenly smell of fresh baking. High on her list was going out for lunch with Harry and reading while she could. From the very small beginning grew a great heart and we were blessed to have had her and to know her. A daughter, a sister, a mother, a wife, a grandmother, a teacher, a great-grandmother, a confi dant, and a friend. She lived, she laughed, she loved, and we grieve.
Memorial to be held April 13th at Sardis Fellowship Baptist Church Wells Rd. Chilliwack 12:00 noon.
