Officer behind ‘Operation’ awarded
Parishioners prepare to moveVikki HOPESAbbotsford News
About 250 members of an Abbotsford church are preparing to leave their location, following a Supreme Court of Canada ruling last week.
Much of the congrega-tion and clergy of St. Matthew’s Anglican Church, located at 2010 Guilford Drive, will now share space with the mem-bers of Grace Evangelical Bible Church, located at 2087 McMillan Rd.
Rector Mike Stewart said the move should be completed about mid-July.
St. Matthew’s was among four churches involved in a legal bat-tle with the Diocese of New Westminster that stemmed from the issue of same-sex blessings. That battle ended last Thursday (June 16), when the nation’s highest court dismissed an application for an appeal.
The churches, which believe same-sex bless-ings are contrary to core Anglican doctrine, broke away from the Anglican Church of Canada (ACC) – to which the diocese belongs and which per-mits the blessings – in February 2008 to join the Anglican Network in Canada (ANiC).
The two sides have clashed ever since over who has rights to the church properties and buildings.
The B.C. Supreme Court ruled in November 2009 that the trustees were using the church properties “outside the jurisdiction of the diocese.”
They appealed the decision, but the B.C. Court of Appeal sided with the earlier ruling. This then led to the churches filing an appeal application with the Supreme Court of Canada.
Following the dismissal in Canada’s highest court, Michael Ingham, bishop of the Diocese of New Westminster, said any clergy who have left ACC must now “leave their pulpits.”
“I will work with these congregations to find suitable and mutually acceptable leaders, so that the mission of the church may continue in these places,” he said.
Stewart said the court decision has been devastating for the St. Matthew’s congregation, many of whom were involved in raising funds for the construction of the church when it moved from Montvue Avenue in 1977. An expansion to the building took place in the 1990s.
“It’s very difficult for us to leave ... We realize a church is not just a build-ing, but it’s what it rep-resents to us,” Stewart said.
He said a final “exodus service” will be held at St. Matthew’s in mid-July, after which the congrega-tion will walk to its new home at Grace Church.
It’s too soon to think about whether the parish will find its own location in the future, Stewart added.
The four churches involved in the legal bat-tle have also been ordered to pay the diocese’s legal costs, estimated to be
more than $175,000.Stewart said he did not yet know what the share will be
for the St. Matthew’s group, but it was important for them to pursue the matter to its conclusion.
“We always said all along ... if it was an issue of choosing our faith over our buildings, we’d choose our faith every time,” he said.
Meanwhile, Rev. Allen Doerksen has been appointed by the diocese to take over pastoral duties for the ACC congrega-tion remaining at St. Matthew’s. The diocese hopes to draw members from other areas of the Fraser Valley, including Aldergrove and Chilliwack.
The other three churches involved in the litigation were all based in Vancouver. They are St. John’s, Good Shepherd, and St. Matthias and St. Luke’s.
Sgt. Mike Novakowski has been named the 2010 recipient of the Abbotsford Policing Award for Outstanding Community Service for his work behind the “Operation” series of pro-grams.
Novakowski has not yet offi-cially received the award but he
is being recognized for his work in creating, producing and pre-senting the posters, videos and presentations that are aimed at steering kids away from a crimi-nal lifestyle.
The series, including Operation Impact and Operation Tarnish, began in 2009. The latest ver-
sion, called Operation Acorn, was presented to elementary school students.
Novakowksi has been with the department since 1989, when it operated as the Matsqui Police Department before the communities of Matsqui and Abbotsford amalgamated.
Rector Mike Stewart and the 250 members of his St. Matthew’s congregation will now share space with the Grace Evangelical Bible Church.

‘A nightmare’Adrian MACNAIRAbbotsford News
Derek Hoare had taken his eyes off his nine-year-old autistic daughter, Ayn Van Dyk, for just a moment.
Then she was gone.Ayn had been playing in the backyard of his Mt.
Lehman Road home, which was surrounded by a six-foot fence.
But somehow she had disappeared. Derek sprinted up the street for several minutes, then turned around and ran in the other direction.
After 10 frantic minutes, he called the police.More than three
hours later, Ayn was found two houses over in a neighbour’s pool. She was safe and sound.
It was a fairy tale ending, told by various media covering the story. And for a moment, it was.
When the police brought Ayn back, she ran to her father and threw her arms around his shoulders as he breathed tear-ful relief.
But four days later, represen-tatives from the Ministry of Children and Family D e v e l o p m e n t came to his house with orders to take Ayn away.
“Basically, what they’re saying is I’m a single dad and I have two autistic kids and my other son and it’s too much for me to handle. So, they’re going to take one of my kids away to lighten my load,” said Derek on Tuesday, after learning he wouldn’t even be able to see his daughter until a hearing determines access rights.
Because of her 24-hour care requirements she won’t go into a foster home, but will be placed in a psychiatric facility for evaluation.
Derek is concerned she will be sedated and drugged for her autism, which he has always opposed, despite doctor advice to the contrary.
“They’re probably holding her down and sedat-ing her,” he said, his voice choking. “This is a nightmare.”
A single father on social assistance, Derek said he has custody of his three children with the approval of ex-wife Amie Van Dyk.
On a Facebook page created to bring awareness to Derek’s cause, Amie Van Dyk wrote, “He has been a loving and dedicated father. He has had to ordeal an enormous amount of challenges as a parent, the likes of which most people would not believe ... I will do anything I can to support you to bring our daughter home where she belongs.”
Derek said he has found support from nearly everybody who has worked with Ayn, including
her principal at Ross Elementary, and a fam-ily outreach worker who visits his home twice a week. Neither of them are allowed to write a letter supporting him, but a former school nurse has.
Derek believes she was removed based on her actions in school, which he described as “volatile and aggressive.” But he said Ayn acts well-behaved and secure at home under his care.
Although Ayn has escaped from his care four times, it was never for more than a few minutes and he never had to call the police.
Derek said he locks all the windows and doors in his house from the inside and needs a key to get out.
He believes she escaped by climb-ing her treehouse and jumping over the fence to get into the neigh-bour’s yard.
Now, he has to wait until a July 12 hearing, which will only determine his level of access, not custody.
He’s not even sure he should visit if he’s allowed.
“If I go there and see her and I have to walk away from her, she has to watch me walk away. I want to see my daughter but if she sees me she’ll
be begging and crying to come home.”His lawyer told him it could take up to a year to
get her back, if at all.The Ministry of Children and Family
Development does not publicly comment on indi-vidual cases.
Derek says parents don’t get enough help or understanding from the government for autistic children.
“It’s a medical condition,” he said, adding par-ents shouldn’t have to lose their children because they’re faced with medical challenges.
Often, parents of children with autism will have a behaviour consultant who designs spe-cific activity programming for that child, and a behaviour interventionist who goes into the home and carries out the consultant’s plan, said Michelle Hoogland, a program manager of Autism Consulting in Abbotsford. However, these private sector professionals can be unaffordable for low-income parents.
The ministry provides families with up to $22,000 per year for each child with ASD under six. It then provides up to $6,000 per year for each child aged six to 18 for autism intervention services and therapies, in addition to programs inside the public education system.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Should there be size restrictions on new homes in older neighbourhoods?
If you recognized rioters in photos or videos, would you
turn them in?
To answer, go to abbynews.com
YOU RESPONDED:
Hockey fans were part of the anarchy
It seems another rude awakening is due, after last week’s sickening display of violence in downtown Vancouver.
Almost immediately after the Stanley Cup riot of 2011, authori-ties were blaming the mayhem on a small number of “anarchists, crimi-nals, thugs, etc.”
It sounded plausible. Even better, for “true” hockey
fans, and embarrassed Lower Main-landers, it was a good explanation for the gross behaviour.
Except, it’s not exactly accurate.Seems most of the louts respon-
sible for the destruction, the fires, and the looting, are not dyed-in-the-wool professional rabble-rousers.
Most of the young men tipping cars, smashing windows, and throwing newspaper boxes weren’t
anarchists. Half of them probably wouldn’t even know what the word meant.
They’re just goons. And there were a lot of them.
It’s now emerging that of the 100-plus individuals arrested for a variety of offences, only a handful have previous criminal records.
One hapless fellow, who was outed by a picture of him stuffing a lit rag into the gas tank of a police car, is actually a star water polo player from Maple Ridge.
There is similar anecdotal evi-dence coming from those who are turning themselves in to police, or offering public apologies.
One young woman said she just got caught up in the moment.
Another opined on Facebook that picking up merchandise from a looted store seemed OK if it was someone else who actually stole it.
No anarchists there, folks.Just unthinking, impressionable
people.The video footage shows hun-
dreds of people cheering while the destruction went on. They posed in
front of burning cars. They taunted and threw objects at police.
I’ll bet if you asked them today if they are hockey fans, they’d answer sincerely, yes.
They didn’t start the afternoon intending to wreak destruction. They came to watch the game. And when that turned sour, and more exciting entertainment was
provided, they absorbed it all, with varying levels of delight and par-ticipation.
They took photos and video, and ramped up the masochistic, testos-terone- and alcohol-fuelled rampage. Those who had enough booze in them, and not nearly enough moral fibre, joined in.
Yes, apparently there were some individuals who came prepared to riot, equipped with accelerants and weapons and gas masks.
But they wouldn’t have been able to wreak millions of dollars worth of damage without support and help from a howling, frenzied mob of young onlookers, who prevented police from getting at the core of therampaging.
It was a stunning example of crowd behaviour, and a deeply dis-turbing comment on this society.
Those huge throngs of happy fans filling the streets of Vancouver after each Canuck victory had the potential to turn ugly, just as they did last Wednesday night.
All it takes is the right catalyst.So, let’s not kid ourselves about
how these weren’t hockey fans.Put a Canucks jersey on a goon,
and he’s still a goon.And as we’ve witnessed, put oth-
erwise relatively “normal” people in an environment of alcohol, adrenalin and violence, and some ofthem become goons, if only “in the moment.”
YES: 92% NO: 8%
WebTalk
What should really happen is if you tear down a home you must subdivide. To allow these multiple dwelling units with the 10 cars parked out front is ruining the older well-kept neighbourhoods. If these new houses were paying triple the tax, then it would be OK.
5440
I thought we have a planning department that follows the big picture. If that is true, then I guess the big picture is expecting the price of my one-level bungalow nose diving so the market will low-ball it. May as well say goodbye and move on. A plan to take over our country is afoot; there will have to be another way.
rhiebert
So what, if they have money and can build a house, let them. There’s nothing wrong with differ-ent sized houses. Leave them alone.

A desire to throw rocks at Campbellletters
On the surface the HST referendum appears so demo-cratic, but in essence it’s much more about political manipula-tion than about what is good for society.
When the GST was init ial ly instituted by fed-eral Conservatives it should have been blended with PST to capture administra-tive efficiencies, but politics would not let it happen.
Now it appears local voters who o v e r w h e l m i n g l y voted for a right-wing government recently are prepared to join forces with left-wing voters to extinguish the HST, which actu-ally amounts to a blending their party
could not get done years ago.
It is also a strange twist for the NDP to follow the lead of a right-wing ex-premier whose ten-ure they and others fought desperately to terminate because of unsatisfactory leadership.
It appears they are prepared to feed his ego one more time in exchange for some brownie points with voters in upcoming elections.
Then there is the desire at all cost to throw rocks at premier Campbell. Upon reflection, his a c c o m p l i s h m e n t s have been rather commendable by comparison.
The problem is he
is no longer there. Even if there is the future opportunity for a lower blended PST and GST which right-wing voters
would typically embrace and left-wing ones would not, along with lower tax collection costs there is still hesitancy to

‘Compassion club’ busted
Be Kind Medical Clinic opened its doors Monday, June 20 in downtown Chilliwack to operate as a “com-passion club” for medi-cal marijuana licence holders.
Just two days later, police say drug charges are pending after a 41-year-old Abbotsford man was arrested at the site.
Police also seized between four and five pounds of bud at the storefront business on Yale Road near Five Corners.
“Ultimately, the busi-ness was being oper-ated under the guise of a medical marijuana compassion club where marijuana, marijuana oils, and related prod-ucts were being offered for sale,” said RCMP Cpl. Kurt Bosnell.
“The business was not licensed by Health Canada to distribute or sell marijuana to the public and was found to be an illegal marijuana trafficking operation that was operating as a storefront business.”
A lab and equipment for making hashish and
extracting pot oil were found at the clinic.
“It appeared as though the marijuana oils were being used in marijuana-related food products which includ-ed, chocolate, lollipops, and edible hashish.”
The pot lab posed a significant risk of fire, say police. During the extraction, rubbing alcohol is brought to a boil over a flame creat-ing dangerous fumes.
As a result of the search warrant, city officials stripped the occupancy permit from the building and is in the process of revoking
its business licence. The business owner had listed it as “Healthcare/Medicine” in the paper-work applying for a business licence with the City of Chilliwack.
A 41-year-old
Abbotsford man was arrested and faces charges of possession and production for the purposes of traffick-ing, and trafficking. He has a court date set for Oct. 18.

Hospital auxiliary celebrates 90th year
Adrian MACNAIRAbbotsford News
The auxiliary to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital held their 90th anniversary cel-ebration last Monday – an occasion marked with the donation of the final $50,000 instalment of a quar-t e r- m i l l i o n - d o l l a r commitment made to the new hospital in 2006.
Past-president of the auxiliary, Ken Baker, began the eve-ning with a recogni-tion of the many past members and the numerous contribu-tions they made.
There was also an awarding of pins to long-serving members. Jean MacFarlane has been with the aux-iliary for 53 years, while Hilda Hefner and Nora Deadman (who just celebrated her 105th birthday two weeks ago) have both volunteered for 59 years.
Member Marilyn Goodwin, who has volunteered since 1974, said she was resting in hospital with her second child when she first learned about the auxiliary.
“A friend of my hus-band came around with a little candy cart and I thought that would be a fun thing to do,” she said, describing just one of the ways the group puts smiles on the faces of patients.
“I really enjoy help-ing people and there’s always lots to do.”
Volunteers typical-ly put in four hours a week, but Goodwin said she and a few others invested as much as 1,000 hours when the new hospi-tal opened in 2008.
Formed by 30 women in 1921, a year before the first hospi-tal opened, they fund-raised, sewed linens and gowns, canned food donations from farmers, and helped feed patients.
When a larger hos-pital was opened in 1953, the auxiliary donated $3,000 for eight new beds in two wards.
As more financial aid was needed, other ladies’ groups from Bradner, Poplar, Aberdeen and Sumas
Village joined togeth-er to raise money.
Throughout the
years, the auxiliary has raised more than $1 million to donate
medical equipment, electrical beds, a wheelchair bus, century tubs, pallia-tive care rooms, and even clothing for dis-charged patients.
Most fundrais-ing comes from the gift shop, which raises about $80,000 each year. The aux-iliary has also held an annual bazaar in December since 1978, bake sales, cruise raffles and even a hospital staff payroll lottery.
The auxiliary has about 100 members at present, but Goodwin said they are always looking for new vol-unteers.
Hilda Marting, Ann Brandes and auxiliary past presi-dent Marilyn Goodwin look over one of the many scrapbooks that trace the history of the Abbotsford Hospital Auxiliary.

Don’t Let your Student Fall Behind this Summer!
Studies have shown that over the summer, kids lose more than 2.6 months of math skillslearned in the prior school year. This phenomenon is called ‘summer learning loss’. Whenlearning occurs synapses in the brain are exercised and therefore strengthened. As stu-dents stop exercising their brain the synaptic connections weaken. Teachers have to spend the fi rst couple months of the school year just getting their students caught up! In contrast, if your child works their language and/or math skills over the summer s/he can actually make progress. When school starts in September they will be a step ahead of the rest of their class. What a confi dence boost!

CLINIC DONATION
New car for dry grad prize winRick Hansen Secondary student
Dil Sangha has been named the winner of the 2011 Dry Grad grand prize of a Ford Explorer.
The prize was donated by Magnuson Ford in Abbotsford.
The keys to the vehicle were pre-sented to Sangha by Magnuson Ford service manager Dean Goddard.
June Olson, this year’s co-chair of the parent-led Dry Grad event,
had approached Magnuson Ford and together they decided upon this vehicle as the grand prize, to encourage students to attend the drug- and alcohol-free event.
“It was a huge success and also showed teens that you can have a lot of fun with your friends, and maybe even win a great prize, without the presence of drugs or alcohol,” Olson said.

Behind every work zone cone is a worker in a vulnerable position. Each cone stands for someone’s father, mother, son, or daughter. That’s why it’s important to know that thousands of people working by the roadside in B.C. are counting on you to slow down and drive with care when approaching a “cone zone.“

1. “My good friend (or husband) tried to do it.” My apologies to the guys reading this, but it’s true. A big part of our business is fi nishing up the electrical projects you start . . . from outlets to ceiling fans. And that’s okay, although it would be easier and probably cheaper if you’d call us fi rst. We have the tools, experience and know-how to do the job right, start to fi nish. Call us for proven professional electrical expertise.
2. “I need a ceiling fan or chandelier installed.” We install lighting fi xtures, fans, outlets, dimmers and more. Our work is guaranteed to meet city codes, and we use only copper wiring (no aluminum). Want to know why we use only copper wiring? Call us.
3. “I have a breaker that doesn’t stay reset.” If your breaker keeps tripping, you don’t have the equivalent of a fl ooded basement, yet. But, you do have a potentially dangerous problem involving the electrical circuits in your home. Don’t ignore it. Call us!
4. “I’ve got an ugly internet or cable TV wiring stapled to my baseboards.” Let us do the job right. Snaking wire through walls is an art, a science, a skill . . . and our specialty. It’s also something few electricians, cable companies or internet providers like to do. But you’re in luck when you call us. We’re World Champions at snaking wire without knocking holes in your walls.
5. “Smells like something’s burning” Overheated appliances and electrical circuits are a problem you don’t want to ignore. A call to us now could save you a call to 911 later.
6. “We’ve got a ‘mystery switch’.” We love getting this call. If you’ve got a switch that you’ve never been able to link to an outlet or circuit, call us to solve the mystery.
How to choose the Right Electricianif you have any of these 6 problems and you want them fi xed today!
Unlike the plumbers I know, electricians rarely get emergency calls. Our equivalent of a fl ood in the basement is a fi re in the attic . . . and you don’t call us for that. You call 911.So you’re probably not reading this because you’ve got an electrical emergency. Instead, you have an electrical problem like one of these . . .

Schmidt primed for World CupDan KINVIGAbbotsford News
Soccer is often de-scribed as a univer-sal language, and in that sense, Sophie Schmidt’s goal is to express herself fluently both on and off the pitch as the FIFA Women’s World Cup kicks off in Germany this week.
The preco-cious 22-year-old from Abbotsford will play a key role patrolling the central midfield for Team Canada, which boasts an all-time high No. 6 FIFA ranking heading into the World Cup.
In the lead-up to the event, Schmidt has
also had a unique op-portunity to dust off her German language skills.
“It’s my first lan-guage,” Schmidt said in a phone interview, explaining she grew up
in a German-s p e a k i n g M e n n o n i t e colony in Paraguay be-fore moving to Canada when she was seven years old.
“For some of the interviews, they’ve asked
me to speak in German. It’s been challenging, some of the questions – I understand what they’re asking, but I don’t know how to ex-plain it in German. It’s kind of cool to be able

Prince’s victory was one of 13 gold medals for the local club. Zach Choboter triumphed in the midget boys 100m dash and the long jump, while Jesse Lambert won the youth men’s shot put and discus to go with
a bronze in the hammer. Hailey Gibson, the provincial
Grade 9 100m sprint champ, wonthat event in Langley, while ThomasLaurie (midget men’s high jump),Alex Siemens (youth girls 1,500m)and Emma Beckett (junior women’spole vault) were also victorious.
In the younger age groups, ParkerWakelyn won gold in both the highjump and long jump, and was sec-ond in the 600m in the 10-year-oldboys category. Rachel Choboterwon the 13-year-old girls pole vault,while Hunter Czeppel triumphed inthe 11-year-old shot put.

ANSWER:Thermage® is anon-invasive treatment for tightening loose and sagging skin. The most common areas treated are forehead, around the eyes, the mid and lower face and the neck. After one treatment results appear gradually over a 6 month period. Typically there is no downtime required.We are fi nding that Thermage® treatments used in conjunction with Botox, Fillers and Fraxel® create dramatic improvements to achieve a more youthful appearance. At our offi ce we refer to the combination of Fraxel® and Thermage® as “the facelift bypass procedure”.

Canada opens World Cup vs. hoststo use it in the country the World Cup is in.”
Schmidt is one of the youngest players on Team Canada, but she’s also one of the most experienced on the squad. Only six
athletes on the roster have more interna-tional caps than the 63 amassed by Schmidt, who made her senior national team debut in 2005, at age 16.
The term “veteran” feels a bit odd to the W.J. Mouat Secondary grad,
but she’s well aware she’ll be looked upon as an on-field leader at the World Cup, regard-less of her age.
“I think it kind of goes without saying that I have to step up into that (leader-ship role) a bit,” said
Schmidt, who turns 23on Tuesday. “Playingin the central midfield,I need to anchor theteam, both attackingand defending.
“I think one of mystrengths as a soccerplayer is reading thegame and understand-ing what the otherteam is doing. That’swhat I bring to thetable – a calming pres-ence.”
Canada is in Group Aat the World Cup, alongwith host Germany,France and Nigeria.The Canadians, whoopen on Sunday inBerlin against thetwo-time defendingchampion Germans (9a.m. Pacific time, CBCTV), are regarded as adark-horse contenderfor the World Cup titleafter winning the theCONCACAF champi-onship last November.
“I think we feel pre-pared,” Schmidt said.“From how we’ve beenplaying and from pastresults, I think wetruly believe in our-selves – that we can dowell. If we play well, Ithink anything is pos-sible.”

Uplifting performances
A pair of Abbotsford residents turned in record-setting performances at the Great Northern Bench and Deadlift Championships in Olympia, Wash. last Saturday.
Al Dahl, competing in the 259-pound weight class in the age 61-67 division, bench pressed 386 pounds to set a new Canadian record for his age and weight. By virtue of his victory, Dahl quali-fied for the World Powerlifting Championships in Reno, Nevada in November.
Jon Wolbers, 63, set a trio of records in the 220-pound class. In the deadlift, he elevated 562 pounds to set new standards for both the world 61-67 age class, and the masters 56-and-over law and fire division. The Abbotsford Community Policing volunteer also set a new Canadian law and fire record with a bench press of 363 pounds.

An initiative of
It is with love and sadness that the family of Dennis Robert Ross announces his sudden and unexpected passing at home in Abbotsford just one week before his 61st birthday.
Denny was born May 19, 1950 at the old Cottage Hos-pital and lived most of his life in Abbotsford. Denny was a fourth generation descendant of local pioneers Philip and Grace Ross and Edmond and Elizabeth White. Denny was the oldest of six children born to Robert and Helen Ross. He is survived and missed by his parents Bob and Helen, sisters Marilyn (Harvey) Good-win, Elaine (Hans) Visser, Donna (Robert) Simpson, Shirley (Ken) Jansen and brother Darrell (Ruth) Ross. Uncle Denny is also survived by his nieces and nephews Michelle (Mike) Appeldoorn, Mark (Kara) Goodwin, Denise (Brad) Blades, Tiffany (Ryan) Biela, Wendy Dom-browski, Sheldon (Michelle) Visser, Darren (Amanda) Simpson, Kirk (Sheena) Jansen, Ryan and Clayton Ross. Denny was great uncle to Kurtis, Tyson, Krystal and Al-lison Appeldoorn, Wyatt Goodwin, Brayden and Cole Blades, Keegan Biela, Shaelee and Chase Dombrowski, Blake Simpson, Preston and Alianna Jansen. Denny is survived by aunts and uncles Fae Ross, Bev (Phil) Ev-ans and Wayne (June) Ross and many cousins in the Ross, Thompson, Masse, Johnson, Gibb and Chevalley families. He was predeceased by grandparents Ray and Edith Ross and John and Eva White and aunts and un-cles Walter Ross, Delores and Al Masse, Sonny Johnson and June and Dave Thompson.
Denny attended McMillan Elementary School and Abbotsford Junior and Senior High Schools. The Ross family was involved in the car business and Denny developed a passion for race cars at an early age. He made life-long friendships through slot car racing in his parent’s basement, street racing on Sumas Prairie and custom car racing at Mission Raceway. He was a big fan of NHRA Drag Racing and attended many events in California, Washington and British Columbia.Stereo equipment and electronics of all kinds interested him and he collected a large variety of them over the years. Denny was a member of the Abbotsford Curling Club and played on some winning League Champion-ship Teams. He was also part of a team that scored an ‘8-ender’ in league play. Denny was a drywall fi nisher and a 40 year member of the International Union of Painters & Allied Trades DC 38. Denny was a kind, true and loyal friend. He will be greatly missed and remem-bered by all who knew and loved him.
A celebration of Denny’s life will be held on Sunday, July 10th 2 – 4 P.M. at The Rancho, 35110 Delair Road, Abbotsford.
In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

BROWNGordon Howard
Gordon Howard Brown, age 87, passed away peacefully at the Menno Home in Abbots-ford, BC, Friday morning June 17, 2011, the result of Alzheimer’s disease. He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Marjorie (nee Light-body), his son Murray, his daughter Marlene and her husband Doran.Born in Langbank, SK, June 2, 1924, the son of William and Mabel Brown, he is pre- deceased by his elder brother Earl, his younger brother Harvey, as well as his elder sisters Edna, Jean and Beatrice. After their marriage on April 16, 1947, Gordon and Marjorie moved to Vancouver, where they had residences beginning in Point Grey, later to Burnaby, on to Richmond, up to Sechelt, and fi nally to Abbotsford, BC. It was in their Abbotsford residence where Gordon lived before advancing stages of Alzheimer’s disease eventually made his moving into the aforementioned Men-no Home a necessity.As a youngster on the farm, Gordon developed a passion for aviation, making it his vocation by the time he was 18 years old. In 1942 he went to work for Prairie Airways in Moose Jaw, SK, overhauling the then state-of-the-art Cessna airplanes. In 1943 he started with Canadian Pacifi c Airlines, based in Edmonton, and then onto the Northwest Territories in 1944 until 1948. He then transferred to Vancouver head- quarters where he worked as a Flight Engineer on overseas fl ights to Hong Kong and Tokyo, and to several destina-tions in Europe and South America. The aircrafts he was responsible for included DC-3’s, DC-4’s, C-4’s, DC-6’s, DC-8’s, 737’s and 747’s. He ended his career in 1979 as Supervisor of Technical Support Training. Gordon loved to fi sh. He and Marjorie (with the help of other helping hands) built a cabin in their backyard in Burnaby and transported it - in prefabricated sections - to Sandy Hook, near Sechelt, where many joyous summer days were spent fi sh-ing, and the evenings visiting with friends. Golf and camping with Marjorie made him happy too. Never one for the spot-light, he will be lovingly remembered for the humble, sincere, quiet way that he conducted himself in all aspects of life.The family requests that any and all interested parties make donations for Alzheimer’s dis-ease research, or to the charity of choice, in lieu of fl owers.

As a student with the privilege of going to ACS where the curriculum centres on how God is all and in all I have been
challenged as a Christian to ask the question: What does it mean to love God? Graciously God explains through the Bible that love is shown through obedience to Him and by loving others. This is a responsibility not a burden a
challenge not a hindrance. We can face this because of Jesus’ sacrifi ce and God’s promised presence. We are encouraged that God who fi rst loved us has marvelous plans for us both now and after graduation according to His wonderful purpose. I look forward to the future and the response of the class of 2011 to live as representatives of Christ.

As high school comes to an end an important question comes to mind: “What
have I really learned?” For the past twelve years our education has been focused on making the grade, meeting expectations and adhering to a prescribed curriculum.
But for many of us school has been about more than just a set of learning outcomes. It is bigger than a test on Friday a paper due tomorrow or a half memorized presentation. Equally important are the relationships that we have built with not only our peers but also our teachers and for some of us, our administrators. Whether or
not these interactions were pleasant they have nevertheless been valu-able as they have shaped who we are today.
Perhaps the most important les-son we have learned is that change is inevitable. Be it friendships that have been gained or lost the build-ing of a new school or the transi-tion that is graduation we have learned that the only thing we can expect is change itself. But as scary as that may sound with change comes an opportunity for progress. While we may never scream until we’re hoarse at a Pep Rally or dance until our legs are jelly at the Christmas Dance we now face a
world of countless opportunities; granted these prospects will be accompanied by new obstacles and challenges. In a rapidly shifting world where established regimes are falling in the blink of an eye it may be diffi cult to come to grips as to our place in the world. However our high school experience has taught us that there is more to per-sonal growth than just the textbook although that too is important. It will be the relationships we’ve forged and the values we’ve devel-oped that will help us in overcom-ing our obstacles and will stand as a testament to our character. To the Graduation Class of 2011: change.

As we have strived for this goal, catching a quick glimpse of the real world here and there, we longed for that freedom...
the ability to be us. Not being identifi ed by the crest we wear every day and our three favourite colours, red, cream and black. Yet, early mornings were that much easier waking up to Mr. Kauffmans’ strong cup of coffee
and as our stomachs grumbled throughout the afternoon Ms. V’s trailmix was always avail-able! Our sing-alongs to Mr. Currie’s favourite tunes brightened the 6 hour days and we were reminded to embrace the deep roots we have established here at ATSS, the friendships that have grown and the many times we will forever remember.
Congratulations to the 2011 Graduating Class at

BAKERVIEW CENTRE FOR LEARNING
ANNACAZANDERBakerview Centre for Learning
For many young people, graduating high school is a milestone to look forward
to. For me, graduating high school was an event that I doubted would happen. Over the past couple of years, I had tried both the regular school system and the homeschool-ing system through correspondence, and although these two methods are excellent ways to fi nish your schooling, I struggled with both. I
had fallen behind in my schooling and now saw the required homework as an insurmountable problem. When I would think about the career choices I wanted to explore, however, I could see that they would be very limited due to not having a diploma. Bakerview Centre for Learning became a viable alternative for completing what was necessary to obtain my high school diploma. I was welcomed by an up-building
and encouraging staff who created a comfortable and accepting learning environment. I would encourage anyone who, like me, ever doubted they would graduate, to seriously consider enrolling in Bakerview Centre for Learning. I would like to thank all of the staff who helped me to achieve my goal of graduat-ing. You have made this part of my schooling achievable and I am grateful for all of your help.

We’ve come a long way to get where we are right now.
As a class, we’ve come from unique backgrounds, but we’ve all been brought together by MEI and shared in countless experiences together.
Our class has people in it who have endured all sorts of chal-lenges, and who have dealt with some serious stuff, but who have stuck with God through all the trials and temptations they faced. I was inspired, and I am inspired by the people in this grad class.
For most of us Graduation is likely the biggest change we’ve gone through, and with this change comes a lot of questions. Who will I be? Where will I go? What will I do? I wish I had the answers, but I don’t. I’m only 18 and I have little wisdom or experi-ence to draw upon. I will however share a quote, by Rainer Maria Rilke, that a wise man once shared with me when I was dealing with unanswered questions:
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like
locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the an-swers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradu-ally, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
I have really enjoyed sharing high school with you guys and getting to know you, and I wish you guys all the best! Congratulations to the grads of 2011!

Twenty-fi ve years ago, a legend in which our school’s name is found upon had a
dream. He had a vision to not only fi nd a cure for people with spinal cord injuries, but also to inspire lives worldwide to join in on what he believed to be a worthwhile in-spiration. He left a legacy that one day each of us might leave as well.
What Rick Hansen said twenty-fi ve years ago still holds true to this day. As I stand before you, I see my peers, my classmates, and my companions. “You’re all differ-ence makers, each and every one of you have hopes and dreams. You have goals, you have dreams, you have things that you care about. Never give up on those
dreams. Every time we reach an obstacle we believe with all our heart somehow, someway there is a way over it, under it, around it, or through it.” So do as Rick Hansen did twenty-fi ve years ago: fi nd a dream and let it inspire you to revolutionize the world and make a difference. Congratulations graduates of 2011.
Behind you lies the path of learning...
Ahead, the road to success!
Congratulations Class of 2011!Best of luck from the entire Rick Hansen Community!

It is surreal to think that in a month, our daily routines will change. The habitual routines we
have followed for the last thirteen years will be over, and soon we will go on to pursue new beginnings. With this in mind, we refl ect upon what has helped shape us into the bright young adults we have become today. We can all remember the excitement and nervousness we felt as we entered Elementary School. Mornings became appealing as we anticipated games of hopscotch, four square and monkey bars, but soon we left that playground and entered unfamiliar territory: Middle School. The world of lockers, adolescence, acne, hormones, and re-lationships began to engulf our lives. High School was even more frighten-ing as we shared the hallways with
young men who could lift us up and snap us in half in a matter of seconds, and young women who could melt steel with one look. However, as time went on, we took the places of these young men and women and came to rule our school as they once did. And now, in a matter of weeks, we will once again be the youngest, the small-est, the most inexperienced, subjects of a new world. Grade school was a tedious, yet eventful, challenging, yet effortless, and stressful, yet fulfi lling experience. We took for granted the help everyone was willing to give, no matter what the task at hand. It is because of these people that four years later, we are leaving this school and not coming back for a fi fth. We would like to take this opportunity to graciously thank our parents, siblings,
teachers, and friends who we have leaned on, climbed on, cried on, beat on and never got the chance to hug. All of you have added to who we are and what we will become. It is because of these heroes that our com-munity will have a better future and hopefully one day, we will be able to have the same impact. As graduation approaches, we refl ect on what has been and what will become the most thrilling ride for the remainder of our youth. To the teachers who have instructed us, to the parents who have guided us, to the friends who have challenged us, we extend our most genuine thanks. We look forward to the future and to what we will come in these next years of our lives. From the Robert Bateman Graduating Class of 2011, our sincere thanks.

We all know that our Community Schools and many worthwhile Community causes struggle day to day, UNDERFUNDED. There is a constant need of support required to maintain their programs for their sport teams, their groups, their need for technology upgrades, books, etc. Over the past 8 months and still to come over the next 6 months, MSA Ford and Ford of Canada have been working extremely hard to give back to the Schools and Non-Profi t organizations in the Abbotsford and Mission
Communities.Through the
unique program initiatives "Drive
One 4UR School" and "Drive One
4UR Community" programs offered by
Ford of Canada, MSA Ford has been able to stay actively involved with giving back to the Schools and Community Organizations who regis-tered with this program.
Over the last 60 years, MSA Ford has involved itself in supporting every facet of our Community that needs us, through sponsorship, donations, fundraisers, charity drives, gifts, assistance with transportation, raffl es, Air Show, etc.
General Manager, Mike McDonald says it best, " We consider our-selves a leader not only in business but equally as well in community
involvement, within the Abbotsford, Mission, Matsqui and Aldergrove communities and chal-lenge all others to do better".
MSA Ford and John
MacMullin are active community partners and believe in building relationships through continued contact. John says “We are very much aware that a commu-
nity is an element that evolves as one through consistent display of unity and partnership. We hold our heads high and are proud to be an integral part it”.
All of us at MSA Ford and The Abbotsford News invite all of you to come out and help support your community organizations and your schools during one or all
of the following “Drive One 4UR School” and “Drive One 4UR Commu-nity events”.
The funds raised through these “Drive One 4UR Community” and “Drive One 4UR School” events go di-rectly to the different or-ganizations and schools as warranted.
We humbly ask all of Abbotsford and Mission to come out and help us help these organiza-tions raise the maximum funds ($6000.00) they can. Hope to see you there.
For more
information on
how you can raise
money... please
email driveone@
msaford.com.
Currently, MSA Ford Sales and the Drive One
4UR School//Drive One 4UR Community pro-
grams have raised over $68,000.00 for the local
schools and non-profi t organizations and hope
to raise another $60,000.00 by year end.

The graduating class of 2011 has truly experienced the essence of SJB. We have seen
some of the most talented soccer players. We have studied with dedicated students. The school band reached a whole new level and showcased peak performances. The Social Justice team once again attracted enthusiastic volunteers, and made a difference in the lives
of others. Fiddler on the Roof, our musical for this year was also a great success. Our lives have been enriched.
As we walk through the halls of SJB for the last time we will reminisce about our adventure and take all that we have garnered and move on to great things. We have so many people to thank. Our teachers have put in count-
less hours and have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Our parents have always been there for constant support and guid-ance, not to mention carpooling! We have been blessed by families, friends, priests, and parish commu-nities that have willingly shared this awesome experience. To the Grads of 2011 at SJB and beyond. God Bless.
Graduation 2011Congratulations to the graduating class!Sharing in the joy of your achievement.

It was an honour to be cho-sen as the valedictorian for Mouat’s grad class of 2011.
It has been just as exciting and stressful as winning the Sr. Girls Basketball Provincial Champion-ship!
We have all faced challenges to get to this point in our lives but
we always had someone to turn to, if not our friends, our trusted teachers, parents, guardians and grandparents. We appreciate all of the sacrifi ces that helped us to become who we are today.
Grads of 2011, use your knowl-edge and skills acquired over the years at Mouat to soar into the
skies and take control of your destiny. Let fear not deter you but use your passion to inspire you to reach your destination. Michael Jordan said, some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen. Grads of 2011, it’s game time. Let’s make it happen!!
Class of 2011, we are proud of you!

Who do we thank for preparing us? Certainly our parents deserve rec-
ognition, for they are the ones who had to put up with tantrums, silent treatments, and new drivers. Their support, love, and - not always so gentle - guidance helped us mature as individuals.
What about our principals and
teachers though? We now know how to go about dissecting foetal pigs, titrating acid/base solutions, writing papers, and – everyone’s favorite - solving for “x”.
Our friends have certainly had a big impact on our lives. I owe many of my best experiences in life to the fact that I was with my friends when they happened.
Should we be thanking our librar-ian, Mr. Dekleva? Without him, we would all still be sitting on tables and have had nowhere to hang out before school started. The truth is, we have been infl uenced by everyone around us, whether we like it or not. Our families, friends, teachers, and coaches have helped shape us into what we are today.
From your teachers & staff at Yale Secondary
Senior SaluteHere’s to a job well-done, Graduates.It’s been a pleasure watching you grow up into a group of fine young adults. May the future bring all the...
