Bye-byeAbby

Nicolle HODGESContributor

It was back to the old stomping grounds for Abbotsford Senior Secondary alumni on Saturday afternoon for the “Bye-Bye Abby Day” celebration, held in honour of the school’s 51-year history before it is demolished.

Built in 1955, Abby Senior stands as Abbotsford’s oldest school and has seen more than 17,000 gradu-ates pass through its doors, each with their own memory.

For Judy and Chester Gmur, it was where they first fell in love. “We met by the office right over there,” said Judy as she pointed down the hallway.

“And we have now been married for 43 wonderful years,” added Chester.

Michelle Klassen, a 1979 graduate, remembers skipping class with her friend Linda.

“I have so many memories during those times, all of them worth it.”

Edward Sawatzky, who graduated in 1962, came from a small 50-person school in Manitoba before transferring to Abby Senior (now Abbotsford Collegiate) and still remembers his first day.

“The buzzer went off to change classes and I just sat in my chair, not sure where to go or what to do,” chuckled Sawatzky. “I left my books behind, couldn’t figure out my locker combination and made it to my next class as it was ending.”

Teachers such as Eric Ratzlaff, who taught the Humanities course for 31 years, were flocked by students offering their gratitude.

“The young people made this place wonderful,”

Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News

Abbotsford Police are trying to track down a customer who blew up at a coffee shop employee after being told the store was out of cream.

Const. Ian MacDonald said police are investigating the incident because the man’s actions were “over the top.”

The incident took place last Wednesday at about 6 p.m. at the Starbucks at 1907 Sumas Way. A man in his 40s ordered a coffee and, after being told there was no cream, began yelling and swearing at the female employee.

MacDonald said the man then threw water in the woman’s face, from a container he was holding, and stormed out of the store.

He drove away in a Ford Ranger pickup, and a store employee obtained the licence plate. MacDonald said police are now trying to track down the vehicle’s registered owner,

who is not from the Fraser Valley, as well as review-ing surveillance video from the store.

The man could face potential assault charges.MacDonald said police want to “shine a light” on

the situation. “Many people have friends and family who work

in customer service environments like coffee houses and fast food locations. I think we would all want to see those friends and family protected from the unacceptable verbal and physical abuse that were part of this incident,” he said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225.

Ratzlaff said. “I truly loved every single year I taught here.”

The school’s current music students sere-naded guests as they walked through lines of displays showcas-ing all the graduating classes from 1955 to 2011.

The school’s first janitor, 96-year-old Len Hoon, stopped by to take a look at the pictures and said he recalls “all the young faces.”

The hallways were buzzing with stories of “remember when” as old classmates and teachers reunited. A signature board was set up at the entrance for former students to sign, while a basket-ball game between former faculty staff took place in the gym.

Lance McDonald, currently in his fifth year as principal, understands the importance of main-taining the “Panther Pride” values in the new school.

“As a past Abby grad of 1985, I know that the four years of high school are extremely significant for devel-opment,” explained McDonald. “I don’t know where I would be if it wasn’t for this school, so as impor-tant as it is to create new memories, it is equally as important to preserve the old

ones.”The plan is to keep

the old gym as well as feature a heritage section for old trophies and pictures.

Opening its doors in September 2012, the new Abby Collegiate, currently under construction, is one of the first schools in the province to attain a superior level of sustainable and green design by promoting energy conservation and water efficiency.

Ryan Huston of Craven Huston Powers Architect has come “full circle” by graduating from Abby Senior in 1975 to return 37 years later

to design the concept for the new school.

“Initially it was

only supposed to be minor upgrades, but from an architec-

tural perspective, the school was built in the ’50s and it was time for something new,” said Huston, who has overseen the $45 million rebuild. “The mentality was to create a ‘learn-ing environment for tomorrow.’”

With that in mind, a three-storey rotunda was built where students can congre-gate and interact with plenty of open space. Huston antici-pates that the new facility will serve as a “magnet” for the community.

While the old school has had an incredible impact on its students

and staff, the hope is to bring that same sense of camaraderie into the new build-ing. Former principal turned city council-lor Bill MacGregor describes the faculty bond like a “band of brothers,” and said the memories “still bring tears to my eyes.”

Come September 2012, the old Abby Collegiate will no longer stand. However, everyone has a memory that they will carry forever.

“It was a school that was all about the pur-suit of excellence,” said MacGregor. “It is an ongoing journey.”

Accused described as harvesters of poppy field

Robert FREEMANBlack Press

Doda – an opiate commonly consumed in tea or hot water by Southeast Asians – may earn two B.C. men criminal records for harvesting a seven-acre field of it in Chilliwack.

But because the drug is rarely seen in B.C. court cases, provincial court judge Roy Dickey will have to weigh several factors before sentencing the two men arrested when police raided the poppy field in rural Chilliwack in August 2010.

Tehal Singh Bath, a 32-year-old Abbotsford man, and Mandeep Singh Dhaliwal, a 30-year-old Mission man, have pleaded guilty to production and possession of a controlled substance for the purposes of trafficking.

But Crown lawyers took the unusual step this week of presenting Dickey with more information from police witnesses to familiar-ize him with the production and potential street value of doda.

“It’s a serious offence and we want to make sure the judge has before him all the relevant material to arrive at an appropriate sentence,” federal Crown prosecutor Brad Smith said outside the court Thursday.

But defence lawyer Ian Donaldson suggested outside the courtroom that the “collateral harm” caused by doda is less than other drugs controlled by the Criminal Code.

“This drug does not appear to be one that has caused harm to the B.C. population, as far as I know,” he said. “No one is over-using doda and breaking into homes to feed his or her habit.”

But during Thursday’s court hearing, Detective-Const. Mark Haywood testified that doda has been an “ongoing concern” of the Peel Regional Police, especially since Arizona suppliers have been shut down by Canadian border agents and prices have shot up dramat-ically.

“It’s essentially gone through the roof,” he said.

Doda is used “almost exclusively” by the Southeast Asian population around Brampton, Ontario, Haywood said, where it can be bought at local meat shops and dry flower shops.

He said in 2010 one ounce of doda could fetch $50-$75 and one kilogram $2,500-$3,000, but the price had “basically doubled” in the last two years because of the Arizona supply problem.

Haywood agreed with Donaldson that, like other drugs, the larger the quantity of drug purchased, the less its price on the street, but he also noted that he has never heard of any doda being produced on this scale in Canada.

However, Donaldson questioned the size of the poppy harvest in Chilliwack as calculated by the police, and the value estimated by police in a “controlled grind” of 20 pods to produce the doda powder.

“Obviously, there is a legal significance in a general sense,” he suggested, in the size of the grow operation and the sentence Dickey will impose.

He also described his clients as harvesters of the poppy plants, similar to workers hired to harvest marijuana grow operations.

Last year, five of six workers caught in the second-largest marijuana grow-op bust in Chilliwack were sentenced by a provin-cial court judge to 12 months house arrest. One received a longer, 18-month conditional sentence, because of an earlier marijuana conviction.

The six men and women were paid about $10 an hour to clip and water the 4,776 marijuana plants that police found in two out-buildings of the Nixon Road property in September 2009.

Smith and Donaldson return to court June 19 to set a date for their sentencing submis-sions.

Yield was to be used in production of doda

Abbotsford Police issued 112 violation ticketslast month for drivers who were improperlytransporting children in vehicles.

Const. Ian MacDonald said police, in partner-ship with Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service, heldfour days of carseat checks and enforcementin May.

Tickets were issued for things such as improp-erly secured or outdated carseats or for kids notbeing in a child-safety seat. MacDonald said, insome situations, kids were sitting on the lap ofa parent or grandparent.

He said the enforcement blitz was initiatedby a recent collision in which a child broke hisleg because his carseat was not secured in thevehicle.

MacDonald said the idea of the blitzes wasalso to educate people about proper carseatinstallation.

Intervenes in lawsuitKevin MILLSAbbotsford News

Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen was given intervener status on Friday in the auditor general’s lawsuit against the B.C. government.

In that lawsuit, auditor general John Doyle is seeking a court order entitling him to see all documents related to the $6 million in legal fees the province picked up in the case against Dave Basi and Bobby Virk.

The pair pleaded guilty in October 2010 to providing insider information in the 2003 $1 billion sale of BC Rail and to receiving benefits for the information.

“It’s a good day for British Columbians and for my constituents in that I will, as

intervener, be able to provide a perspective on behalf of citizens and on behalf of MLAs,” said van Dongen on Friday.

He said the goal of the case is twofold.

First is simply to get all the facts.“There are a lot of unanswered

questions about those two agreements and how they were handled by govern-ment.”

The second goal is to establish, legally, what the powers of the auditor general are.

“Let’s get clarity about the maximum authority he can have under his act

so that he doesn’t have to be perpetually in court.”

The case is scheduled to be heard June 18, but may be postponed until September.

Not ‘paving paradise,’ but the saw will sing

Strange as this may sound, I did this past week embrace Abbotsford’s tree pro-tection program – well, at least I spoke civilly to the city’s chief forester, and in fact requested him to tour my property.

Oddly enough, following a heated public meeting over the tree bylaw a couple of weeks ago, I was talking to my neighbour in the driveway when he observed that the very large Lombardy poplar in my front yard was looking sickly. I dismissed it as a quirk of light on the leaves.

On closer inspection, yes, the leaves were turning brown. A few days later the entire tree was as red-brown as the beetle-killed pines of the Cariboo. My tree was dying.

And then I noticed all the poplars along my back fence were an equal shade of death.

The trees, it appeared to me, should be

removed, but since I do try to play by the rules, I contacted the city and asked the forester to give me his opinion, and tacit approval to break out the chainsaw.

The conclusion of the visit was that the trees were severely diseased, and should be removed before they fully wither and fall on my house or, more importantly, me.

The disturbing aspect, however, was not having to “seek permission” to cut down my own trees so much as why so many trees were dying. Thus, I also contacted the Ministry of Environment, which has promised to look into the cause on my property.

Not only are all the Lombardy poplars in their death throes, so too are a couple of weeping willows and a mimosa. And last year two other trees of different spe-cies bit the dust.

Is there something in my soil that is deadly, or is there something in the air around here? Hopefully someone from the MoE can determine that.

In the meantime, I looked at the pop-lars on nearby Ledgeview Golf Course. Leaves are brown on them too, covering the fairways as though it was fall.

Blight, or possibly other airborne dis-

eases, appears to be widespread here on the mountain and is killing our trees.

The 120-footer, 75 feet from my house, will require professional removal. The other 30 or more poplars, most at least 100 feet tall (if you only understand met-ric, break out your converter), will fall to my own saw.

The sad part is these trees have adorned my property for some 35 years, and were virtual saplings when I acquired the property in the mid-1980s. They have always appealed to me, though I must admit I have been concerned that the biggest one would come down on my house in a severe windstorm.

Fortuitously, the demise of the trees has intervened before a call to my insur-

ance company became necessary.So while I will, over the next few

weeks, source enough fi rewood to last mewell into the next decade, and lament theloss of the trees, the desire to have the tree protection bylaw repealed has not diminished.

Dead and dying trees, or live ones that have simply grown too large are still, on urban lots or acreage, our trees to deter-mine what we want to do with them.

They are not part of the “common good.”

And besides, it is not the private resi-dent who has the need or desire to cut trees willy-nilly. That generally occurs only for development properties being put to use for industrial, commercial or subdivision purposes, and the city already has bylaws in place to control and reforest those activities.

The city also has laws in place regulat-ing “common” lands such as street bou-levards and parks, thus rendering a tree bylaw on private property redundant.

In the meantime, tempered by sadness at the loss of my trees, the song of the saw will ring loud and long on my prop-erty this summer.

AirCare will die a natural death in December 2014. It is long overdue.

The provincial program, which is operated by a private operator under TransLink oversight, was instituted in the dying days of the Social Credit government. The Socreds were desperate to be seen as “doing something” about air pollution from vehicles.

By the time the program was run-ning in early 1992, the Socreds had been voted out and the NDP were in power. Thus, some members of the NDP are claiming that the program came in under their government, which is technically true. However, it was not their policy initiative.

AirCare has been unpopular from the beginning, but at first it did serve a purpose. There were a lot of polluting vehicles on the road. Some had pollution control equipment disabled. Others belched oil smoke because of engine wear. There was nothing to stop such vehicles from

being driven indefi nitely.AirCare either forced these vehi-

cles off the road, or into a shop for needed repairs.

But the testing was erratic at fi rst, with vehicles failing at one test sta-tion and passing at another.

The program was updated several times, with newer vehicles only requiring two-year inspections, and the newest vehicles not needing them at all. This is because vehicle emission standards are much higher than they were in the early 1990s.

As a result, AirCare hasn’t been necessary for some time. There sim-ply aren’t enough older vehicles on the road to make the expensive and bureaucratic program necessary.

It would be more logical to give police and commercial vehicle inspec-tors power to take polluting vehicles off the road, or order them to be tested. Random enforcement is best, in an era when emission standards are much higher than they used to be.

‘Reject’ harm reductionI read Kevin Mills’ article

(May 31, “Council continuing to consider needle exchange”) with interest. The “harm reduction” cronies have come into town to bash a few heads at the city council for the audacity of saying that harm reduction is bad public policy. Indeed our city is leading the way in excellent public policy by helping people out of addic-tion, not through giving out free needles, but through real help such as found in recovery centres.

It costs an addict only 49 cents for a needle and only 29 cents for a replacement needle tip. These can be purchased at the local pharmacy 24 hours a day without a prescription.

The argument that a free needle exchange is vital to public health and reducing the

incidence of disease is ridicu-lous.

Addicts spend hundreds of dollars feeding their habit. It would cost them more time and money to get to a publicly funded needle exchange than it would cost to buy a clean needle at the local pharmacy.

Addiction can only be solved by dealing with the underly-ing issues within a person that leads them to self-medicate through drugs (legal and illegal).

The argument that a needle exchange is somehow a clean pathway to changed life is a fantasy and is not a scien-tific fact. Similarly the use of methadone and other so called harm reduction drugs only prolongs the suffering of addicts.

We have an army of people in

this city ready to help addicts that genuinely want to stop taking drugs. The help addicts really need is not to enable their current lifestyle but to be challenged to break free.

Sometimes people have to hit bottom before they look up for help. We have chosen not to be a co-dependent city and this is the most loving decision we can make. There may be a little pain upfront during detox but many hundreds in our city can attest that it’s the first real step into a brighter tomorrow.

I urge our council to contin-ue to reject the harm reduc-tion philosophy. We applaud council’s efforts in getting detox centre funding for Abbotsford.

letters

To Mayor Banman and councillors: Having recently bicycled through the redesigned inter-section of Peardonville Road and Livingstone Avenue I would like to say “thank you” on behalf of bicyclists in Abbotsford.

The engineering staff have to be compli-mented on creating a design that overall works

well for both motorists and bicyclists. As Mayor Banman said at the Bike to Work

Week barbecue on May 28, “We need to get more people using the bike lanes.”

This improvement is one small step – yet very essential – in getting more people riding bikes.

Rotary hole-in-oneevent in full swingThe Rotary Club of Abbotsford’s Million

Dollar Hole in One contest opened at Fraserglen Golf Course on June 2 and, before the weekend was out, there were already two holes in one.

On Sunday, both Lee Corfe and Dave Blanchard managed the feat and won some great prizes and a spot in the quarter-finals.

“It’s been a really good start to the contest,” said Hugh Ellis, chair of the event.

“It was one of the better openings in the past six years. Donations are going well, but we encourage more people to come out.”

The event’s nine-day run culminates on June 10 when three finalists will each take a shot at a pin 160 yards away. If any of those three balls finds the hole, the lucky golfer who struck it will win $1 million.

Rotary is raising money for the Campus of Care project being constructed next to Abbotsford Regional Hospital.

Seasoned adults share gifts, service

For Waldimar and Elinor Neufeld the retirement years have been occu-pied with service assign-ments that have been fulfilling and rewarding.

They have served in various places in Canada and the U.S. with Mennonite Central Committee’s (MCC) SOOP program: Service Opportunities for Older People.

MCC SOOP assign-ments can be anywhere from a week to a year and are often tailored to a person’s gifts and abilities.

Assignments vary and can include office work, home repair, serving as guest house hosts, grounds keeping, fair trade promotion and

more.The opportunity to travel

to new places and the flexibility of the program were appealing to the Neufelds when they con-sidered what they would do with their retirement years.

“We wanted to volunteer while we had health and energy to do so,” Waldimar said.

“We also love to travel and the SOOP program had special appeal to us because of its flexibility to sign up according to our availability.”

One of the places where the Neufelds served with SOOP was in Elkhart, Indiana at the Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (AMBS).

Waldo and Elinor did

a variety of tasks while on campus at AMBS including office work, kitchen duties, helping the daycare, lawn mowing and even doing research for a professor.

“A special benefit was the opportunity to sit in on special lectures and chapels which featured a variety of topics every week,” Waldimar said.

The service that seniors are able to provide is as beneficial to the institu-tions and places where they serve as it is to the seniors themselves.

Waldimar said they were recognized for their contribution to campus life and the fact that they provided much needed help without impacting

budgets since they were volunteers.The Neufelds highly recommend

volunteering to seniors, whether it is locally or abroad. Because seniors have the freedom to volunteer at any time, they are also more available than younger people who may still be work-ing. The Neufelds also believe that there are considerable health benefits

to staying active.“Some suggest that volunteering

may lengthen your years and ward off dementia,” Waldo said.

“We’re trying to prove that this theory has some validity.”

Denture Q&ADenturists are denture special-

ists; they specialize in the manufactur-ing of denture prosthetics.

The word denturist means “a person licensed to fabricate and fit dentures to the public.” The scope of practice for this profession covers relining, rebas-ing, repairing, full and partial dentures, dentures over implants and partials over implants.

You do not need a referral from another health professional to consult with a denturist. A denturist can refer you to other health care profession-als. Some denturists also attend to patients’ needs in home care situations or hospital visits

Denturists are proficient and time effective in the delivery of denture treatments. Most denturists fabricate your prosthetics on premises, ensuring quality control and care.

If your current dentures are five years or older they may need replacing. Ask your denturist for an assessment of your current dentures. Quality replace-ment dentures can improve your health and appearance.

Frequently asked questions:How long will my dentures last?There is not a removable prosthesis

made for the mouth that is permanent. The mouth is constantly changing. On average a partial or a denture may be expected to last about five years.

Why are my dentures becoming loose?

If your dentures are more than five years old and if they have not been relined every two years you probably will have some problems with the fit.

Your gum tissue and jaw bone shrink with time. This causes the denture to become loose resulting in a poor fit. A visit to your denturist for an oral health examination will determine the cause of your ill-fitting dentures.

How long will the implants for my (dentures over implants) last?

Reports show many implants lasting 20 years or a lifetime with proper care and regular yearly check ups at your dental professional. These are the fac-tors which could reduce the life expec-tancy of your implants:

your general health oral hygiene smoking grinding your teeth

Some parts of the implants may need

replacing with time because of wear or deterioration. The dentures themselves should be replaced every five years and relined every two years.

Why is there such a wide range in the cost of a den-ture?

Cost equals quality. A qual-ity, well fitting, and natural looking denture takes time to make and costs more.

I had immediate dentures made a week ago. I seem to be having some difficulties getting use to my new den-tures. Is this normal?

Learning to chew satis-factorily with new dentures takes six to eight weeks.

The tongue, cheek, and lip muscles must be trained to keep the dentures in place during chewing and speak-ing.

The successful use of your dentures depends on you

and the effort you put forth to master them. To learn to eat with your new teeth will take practice, patience and deter-mination.

Start with soft foods, cutting everything into small pieces rather than trying to bite with your front teeth as this will dislodge the denture.

Thickness in your speech and perhaps a lisp are also common symptoms which will usually correct them-

selves in a short period of time.

Sore spots may also devel-op and these can be easily relieved by your denturist.

Hundreds of thousands of people wear dentures with ease and in time you too will feel comfortable, secure and successful in wearing your dentures.

Provincial medalistNeil CORBETTAbbotsford News

Yale Secondary runner Chantel Desch was the top Abbotsford performer at the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships held on Friday and Saturday at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium.

Desch took bronze medals in both the 400m and 200m races. She was the only local to medal, and her Yale track coach Trevor Wight said she is the first girl from the school to earn a podium finish in at least a decade.

Desch has been recruited to run for the Simon Fraser University Clan track team next season. Track guru Gerry Swan of the Valley Royals track and field club predicts the best is yet to come for Desch.

“She’s quite a good athlete, and she hasn’t really hit her stride yet,” he said. “As she matures,

she’s going to go faster.”He watched a pair of other

Royals girls from Abbotsford schools who were in the hunt for provincial medals, and predicts they will get them next year.

W.J. Mouat’s Hailey Gibson was sitting in third place after the preliminary races in the women’s 100m dash. In the final she finished fourth, just 0.03 seconds behind the bronze medalist.

“I thought she was third as I watched the race, but the camera said different,” said Swan.

Gibson is just in Grade 10, so she has two more years of high school competition to chase a sprint championship.

Mouat distance runner Alex Siemens finished fifth in the women’s 3000m race and sixth in the 1500m. A Grade 11er, she also gets another year of training to

improve her speed.Daniel Saathof of Abbotsford

Christian was sixth in the javelin,Spencer Spenst of Mouat wassixth in pole vault and ManpreetGrewal of Abbotsford Collegiatewas fifth in the women’s discus.

Lafarge meetRuky Abdulai will make her

season’s debut Wednesday at theLafarge High Performance Meetat Rotary Stadium.

The Valley Royal is a world-class athlete in the heptathlon,who qualified for the LondonOlympics last summer byplacing 13th at the WorldChampionships in Korea. Sheis one of the many elite-levelathletes who will compete.

The main part of the meetbegins at 6:20 p.m. and contin-ues until 8:20 p.m. There is nocharge for admission.

Chantel Desch of Yale Secondary won two bronze medals at the provincial track and field championships.

ALAMWALAJerry

Sept. 28, 1961 ~ June 2, 2012

It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we an-nounce the passing of Jerry (Awtar Singh) Alamwala. He was taken from us unexpect-edly on Saturday June 2, 2012 at the age of 50. He was born on September 28, 1961 in Duncan, British Columbia to the late Sarwan Singh and Bachan Kaur Alamwala. Jerry attended Abbotsford Senior Secondary School and gradu-ated in 1979. Following High School he attended Trinity Western University where he obtained his degree in Aviation Technology and Commercial Pilot’s License. He continued his education at BCIT, and upon completion his passion for agriculture brought him back to the family business. Through his hard work and dedication he developed one of North America’s largest berry and brussel sprout operations. His progressive thinking and intelligence have helped shape the agriculture industry. Jerry was a loving and caring husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend. He was blessed to spend 26 years of his life with his soul-mate and loving wife Satwind-er (Pam). He was very proud of his four children Mandy, Sharon, Jordan and Kyle. He also leaves behind his mother Bachan Kaur Alamwala (late Sarwan Singh), his sister Surinder Brar (Davinder), his brother Jag Alamwala (Sandra) and sister-in-law Jasvir Alam-wala (late Jessie), and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and friends. Funeral services will be held in his honor on Thursday June 7, 2012 at Abbotsford Entertain-ment and Sports Centre (33800 King Rd., Abbotsford, BC). Service will commence at 10:00 am. Prayer service will follow at the Khalsa Diwan Society (33094 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, BC) at 1:30 pm. The Alamwala family would like to thank all relatives and friends for their support. They would also like to thank the staff at Royal Columbian Hospital, especially the Inten-sive Care Unit team.

He then took a position with Holland America Line as Manager of Painting Mainte-nance, where he worked for many years before immigrat-ing to Calgary, Canada in 1957. Here, he started his own successful painting business and later, he moved to Rich-mond, BC and worked as a foreman for the municipality until he retired to Greendale, BC in 1977. Abraham enjoyed dancing, playing cards, especially Kla-verjassen, holidaying around the world, socializing, camp-ing, and spending time with his pets.
