Andrea Wetteland, who has fragile X syndrome, says she counts on the bus to get around, but isn’t sure if she’ll renew her BC Bus Pass after the provincial government ended a $45-per-year pass for those with disabilities.

‘Giving with one hand, taking with the other’
Advocates warn elimination of $45/year bus pass will impact disabled
For 11 years, Andrea Wetteland says her BC Bus Pass has been her “lifeline,” allowing her to get around town with-out thinking how much transportation is eating into her fixed disability in-come from the province.
This year, however, Wetteland is faced with what she says is an unwel-come dilemma – whether to use the majority of the first increase to disabil-ity assistance in nine years to augment her already tight budget, or to use it on that vital lifeline, which connects her with programs, friends and visits with her children.
When Finance Minister and Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong brought in the province’s 2016 budget, it came with what seemed like good news for disability advocates, who had long called for disability assistance rates to be raised to keep up with in-flation.
The 2016 budget aimed to address that by boosting the disability benefit by $77 per month. But as the govern-ment gave more, it also eliminated a special $45/year bus pass for the dis-abled. Now, those who wish to take the bus can pay $52 per month, along with a $45 yearly administrative fee.
Currently, 35,000 people around the province use the bus pass.
Those who choose to buy a pass will be left with an additional $25 per month over the previous disability al-lowance, for a year-over-year increase of just under three per cent.
It’s a move the province says is meant

It may be overgrown with weeds now, but Jeff Gruban has renewed optimism that a two-acre parcel of unde-veloped land on Valley Road near the Matsqui Transfer Station could play a big role in help-ing solve homelessness in Abbotsford.
Last week, the Abbotsford Dignitarian Society, of which Gruban is the president, resubmitted its propos-al for a community of 40 cabins to house the homeless. The group had first submitted a proposal for what it calls “Abby Digs” near-ly two years ago, but that project stalled, in part because the pro-posal was included in another plan by a land-scaping company for an adjacent area on the same nine-acre parcel of undeveloped land.
On Thursday, the so-ciety resubmitted to the city its application for a temporary-use per-mit for the site, which is currently zoned for agricultural/residential use but not included in the Agricultural Land Reserve.
After examination by staff, the application
would need approval by city council.
While Gruban was hesitant to comment on how he thinks coun-cil might respond to the application, he said he feels optimistic about the society’s proposal and that there seems to be more interest in the project than ever before.
He said the lack of affordable housing in Abbotsford, the tem-porary nature of the 40-bed Riverside Road winter shelter, and last fall’s Supreme Court decision that gives the
homeless the right to set up overnight camp in public parks have all put into stark relief the need for more shelters for the homeless.
“There is a feeling from my perspective … that there is now inter-est in parsing our plan,” Gruban said.
The society’s propos-al is inspired by a “dig-nity village” for home-less people in Portland, Ore., but has several differences, Gruban said.
As envisioned by the society, the project would feature 40 eight-
by-10-foot cabins, with separate buildings for cooking, washrooms and showers. The soci-ety put the cost to con-struct the two-stage project at just $250,000, with the hope that money could be raised through fundraising.
Last month, Mayor Henry Braun said safety concerns and the lack of upkeep of the Gladys Avenue protest encamp-ment had him wary of setting aside property for self-regulated camp-ing and shelters for the homeless.
Gruban said the Abby
Digs proposal entails “several layers of man-agement,” and council would have the ability to pull the site’s permit.
Residents would elect a strata council, Gruban said, but there would also be an on-site sala-ried caretaker, and the entire project would be managed by the Abbotsford Dignitarian Society’s board of di-rectors. Operating costs would be covered by rent from occupants. Gruban noted that so-cial assistance provides recipients with $375 for housing, and that while the cost of renting in Abbotsford usually far exceeds that sum, rents of that total would be sufficient to operate the site.
While the propos-al has just gone before council, Gruban said that once approved, construction would be completed by winter.
Gruban said the so-ciety has also planned extensive consultations with the public. The last time the proposal was submitted, in 2014, a petition was created in opposition to the proj-ect. Opponents worried about property crime, along with the rural na-ture of the site.

Teen charged with murder of womanIncident occurred Feb. 24 in Yarrow
A 19-year-old man has been charged with the Feb. 24 murder of a 51-year-old woman in Yarrow.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced Sunday that Clayton Jacob Warkentin was arrested without incident on Friday evening and charged with first-degree murder.
His next appearance in Chilliwack provincial court is slated for March 14.
IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Stephanie Ashton said the victim and suspect are known to each other, and the incident appears to be domestic in nature. She said no new information will be released as the matter is now before the courts.
“Public safety was paramount in this investigation. This is a sit-uation where investigators working in partnership with UFVRD
(Upper Fraser Valley Regional District) RCMP were able to put the pieces together and in just over one week obtain the grounds to make an arrest, ” Ashton said.
Police had been called in the early hours of Feb. 24 to check on the well-being of a woman living in the 42000 block of Yarrow Central Road. An officer arrived and found her dead.
The cause of the woman’s death has not been released.Warkentin is also before the courts on another matter,
dating back to an incident in April 2015 in Abbotsford and Chilliwack which resulted in his being charged with
fear of injury by another person. That matter is set for trial on March 22.
Last September, he was charged with breaching his bail con-ditions.

Police seek
recruitsVikki HOPESAbbotsford News
The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) is always looking for po-tential new recruits, but finding the right candi-dates sometimes proves difficult.
Const. John Wilcox of the recruiting section said the department is currently looking to fill nine positions left va-cant by the retirement or resignation of exist-ing officers.
But he said many applicants don’t do enough research to meet even the basic cri-teria – for example, they don’t have basic first aid or they haven’t had an eye exam within the last six months.
Another area where they are often unpre-pared is the grueling Peace Officers Physical Abilities Testing (POPAT), which includes obsta-cles, jumps, an agility bar, an 80-pound push-pull exercise and a 100-pound bag carry.
The test must be completed within four minutes and 15 sec-onds, and applicants are also required to finish a 2.4 km run following the completion of the POPAT.
Wilcox said many people are fit enough to complete the run, but underestimate the stamina and strength needed to finish the POPAT.
Information about the selection process and required steps is on the APD website at abbypd.ca under “careers.”
The APD is also hold-ing an information ses-sion for prospective ap-plicants on Wednesday, March 16 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Clearbrook Library (32320 George Ferguson Way).
Those planning to attend should RSVP to jwilcox@abbypd.ca by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 11.

Diversity awards presentedMission woman wins Champion honour
The 13th annual Fraser Valley Cultural Diversity Awards were held Friday night at the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre, with honours present-ed in seven categories.
The event featured Fred Lee – of CBC Radio One’s The Early Edition – as master of ceremo-nies.
Entertainment was provided by the mu-sical duo Quieros, Tha Realm Dance Studio, and singer Jaia Hernandez.
The event was pre-sented by Abbotsford Community Services in partnership with Mission and Chilliwack Community Services and the Langley-based New Directions English Langley School.
The Fraser Valley Cultural Diversity Awards started in 2003
to recognize organiza-tions and individuals that embrace diversity in the community.
Each year, the awards receive nominations for businesses, pro-grams, initiatives,
schools and leaders that work towards building an inclusive community.
Nominees are accept-ed from Abbotsford, Mission, Langley and Chilliwack.

to give disability recipients more choice and put those in rural areas on level terms.
But disability advocates have reacted angrily, calling the move “mean-spirit-ed” and saying it will force the disabled to choose between transportation and necessities like food.
A petition has been launched that or-ganizers hope will hit 20,000 names by Wednesday.
Wetteland, who is 28, has fragile X syndrome, a genetic disorder that brings with it learning disabilities and some cognitive impairment.
Chatty and outgoing, Wetteland is high-functioning and has held down a four-days-a-week job at A&W for the last eight months. She lives on her own, and budgets carefully for her expenses and the ever-rising cost of living.
She says she can afford to pay her bills only because she augments her disabil-ity cheque with her earnings from her minimum-wage job.
Wetteland can’t drive, and counts on the bus for both her social life and to continue accessing those community programs that have given her the skills to obtain and keep a job. She also uses it to visit her two children, whom she had
at a young age and gave up for adoption.“I need the bus to go anywhere.”Wetteland appreciates that the gov-
ernment’s move gives her a choice in how to spend the additional money, and she’s considering using single tickets rather than a monthly pass. But the di-lemma isn’t particularly welcome.
“I don’t know what to do,” she said. “I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place.”
In a statement to The News, the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation said the “changes are about fairness and equity. Currently, about 45,000 people on disability assis-tance do not receive any transportation supports. As of September, everyone on disability assistance will receive the same level of benefits.”
The ministry noted that those with a bus pass will see their benefits increase
by $25 per month, that the province has the fourth-highest disability as-sistance rates in the country, and that B.C. will continue to offer a discounted bus pass for the disabled. The dis-counts are provided by transit system operators, not the province.
The government has said the budget for the BC Bus Pass program was $20 million.
But for the disabled who rely on buses to stay involved in their com-munity, the move will force difficult choices, according to Rick Beckett, an employment specialist at Abbotsford Community Services (ACS).
Beckett says access to transportation is key for many of the clients he works with. He said the government’s move “is a disincentive for people to get employment and purchase a bus pass.”
He said making transportation more expensive is likely to discourage some from venturing forth from their homes and building the skills they need to be happy and productive.
The increase to the disability benefit was welcomed, but the bus pass hike has left service providers disappoint-ed.
“It’s giving with one hand and taking with the other.”

Published by Black Press Ltd. 34375 Gladys Avenue, Abbotsford. B.C.
The provincial government made it-self a target for the flak it’s receiving for doing away with a $45/year bus pass for the disabled.
For the first time in nine years, the province did boost disability benefits by $77 per month. But those who want to keep their bus pass will get to keep just a third of that hike, because they will now have to shell out $52 each month for transit.
It’s understandable that advocates for the disabled are upset about the move, since those who want to keep their bus pass will reap just $25 each month – a sum that does little to help keep up with ever-escalating costs.
The government says altering the bus pass program was done in the name of fairness for those who don’t use transit.
But equality is rarely best served by taking away assistance for those who need a bit of extra help.
Thousands of disabled people rely on
transit to access programs, visit family and friends, and get to work.
Ramping up the cost of a bus pass by more than 1,300 per cent annually will likely deter some from moving around town. That is good neither for the in-dividuals concerned, nor for society at large, which benefits when all its mem-bers feel included and have opportunity to contribute.
For the province, the costs of the pass are minimal, as the $20 million price tag for the BC Bus Pass program is minuscule in terms of a multi-billion-dollar budget.
If the province is concerned about equi-ty for those in rural areas who can’t take the bus, it might want to consider how it can help those men and women, rather than withdraw a benefit for others.
The government’s efforts would be better spent ensuring disability benefits keep up with rising costs, rather than, as one advocate put it, giving with one hand and taking away with the other.

Future includes marijuana
It was with habitual dismay I read the March 2 comments by Member of Parliament Ed Fast regarding the recent green light given by the courts for people to grow medical marijuana in their homes.
A bit of history that should not be forgotten. Marijuana probably never would have begun being grown indoors, certainly not at the scale seen in the last few decades, if paraquat had not been sprayed on outdoor grown fields of the plant. That was the beginning of the end of so-called war on drugs. The health scare faced by paraquat-tainted marijuana is what resulted in marijuana being grown in all our neighbour-hoods. No one wanted outdoor grown marijuana anymore.
Ed Fast should think about things a bit more be-fore he decides who is to blame for his concerns. People just like Ed Fast and their prohibitionist outlook were the people that brought indoor homegrown marijuana to your neighbourhood.
Moreover, I think it is past time the conserva-tive aspects of our community (hello, city hall) embraced a future which includes marijuana and industrial hemp. By turning our backs on this valuable crop, grown indoors or out, we are depriving our community of the biggest opportu-nity for economic growth to come along in quite some time. Our children deserve nothing less.

In Friday’s edition, The News incorrectly indi-cated that 76 per cent of respondents said “Yes” to an online News poll last week, asking: “Do you support the school board’s decision to change rural schools to the Grade 6 to 8 middle school system?”
In fact, 76 per cent of respondents replied “No,” with 24 per cent replying “Yes.”

Long Island Medium to visit Abbotsford CentreThe woman best
known as the Long Island Medium, from the TLC hit television show of the same name, is coming to Abbotsford in June.
Theresa Caputo ap-
pears at the Abbotsford Centre on Sunday, June 5 at 7:30 p.m. She will share personal stories about her life and ex-plain how her gift – communicating with the dead – works.
Caputo will deliv-er healing messages to audience members and give people com-fort knowing that their loved ones who passed are still with them, just in a different way.
A video display en-sures everyone in the venue has an up-close experience regardless of seat location.
“The experience isn’t about believing in mediums. It’s about
witnessing something life-changing,” Caputo said.
The highly rated show Long Island Medium follows Caputo’s life as a typ-ical Long Island wife
and mom with one big difference – she can communicate with the dead. Since she cannot “turn off” this gift, messages from departed loved ones can come through at any time, which lead to spontaneous read-ings with those she en-counters.
Caputo has appeared on programs such as Jay Leno, Jimmy Fallon, Steve Harvey, Life with Kelly and Michael, Dr. Oz and The Today Show.
Caputo’s second book, titled You Can’t Make This Stuff Up, was released in September 2014 and
debuted in ninth spot on the New York Times Best Seller List. Her first book, There’s More to Life Than This, debuted in the fall of 2013.
Caputo has been a practising medium for over 15 years. She helps individuals find closure by delivering healing messages. For more information, visit theresacaputo.com.
Tickets go on sale Friday, March 11 at 10 a.m. and can be pur-chased at ticketmas-ter.ca, 855-985-5000, or the Abbotsford Centre box office. Purchasing a ticket does not guar-antee a reading.

Shirley Wilson is plan-ning to spend a year devoted to acts of kind-ness, beginning on her 50th birthday.
Wilson, an Abbotsford school district trustee,
will be carrying out what she calls “inconvenient acts of kindness” at least once a week, starting on March 20, when she passes the half-century mark in her life.
“It’s a gift to myself; I’m going to feel good,”
she said.Wilson said she al-
ready works in the non-profit sector and is a member of the Rotary Club of Abbotsford, in addition to her duties as a trustee, but she feels compelled to challenge
herself to do more, as well as set an example for how members of a community should act.
“It’s an awareness project,” she said.
Wilson already does do kind things for strangers but she feels she does it “far less than necessary.” The one-a-week minimum will compel her to do more, she said.
The kind acts will include giving soup to homeless people, sup-plying baby clothes and blankets to new parents, and spending time with lonely elderly people. She said that many of these acts will not re-quire money but she has set aside “less than a $1,000” to pay for the kindnesses.
She will also be seek-ing suggestions or re-
quests for help.“I have a lot of agents
out there who will bring things to me,” she said.
Wilson said the idea for this pledge came to her as she was reflect-ing on her life, especial-ly her tough childhood growing up in north-ern B.C. as one of 10 children. She said that despite being poor and living in a two-bedroom home without indoor plumbing or central heating, her parents always gave to others when they could.
“If we had wood in the fireplace, it meant we had enough to give to others,” she said.
“They would hear about others who had less, and they would do whatever they could to ensure that those fami-lies got help.”

Smart and Caring Grants availableApplications accepted by community foundation
Abbotsford Community Foundation (ACF) has launched its 2016 Smart and Caring Grants Program.
“This year we have over $65,000 to distribute for projects or programs that help children living in poverty in Abbotsford,” said Susan McAlevy, exec-utive director.
The guidelines and applications for the program are available on the foundation’s website at abbots-fordcf.org under the grants section. The deadline to apply for grants of up to $10,000 is March 30.
Last year, ACF distributed grants totalling more than $75,000 to eight different projects, includ-ing the Abbotsford Food Bank’s Starfish Pack Program, Fraser Valley Child Development Centre’s early learning summer camp, Abbotsford Youth Commission’s nutrition program, and the Devon Clifford Music Foundation’s band camp program.
ACF is raising funds through its Smart and Caring Campaign to build the community fund that is supporting the grants for charities providing ser-vices to children in need.

Through local partnership, UFV is using world-class brain imaging techniques to spot and prevent concussions in student athletes — helping kids stay safe.
Safer games + healthier brainsPreventing invisible injuries.
Across Canada, churches and other groups have come to-gether to sponsor thou-sands of refugees from war-torn Syria.
Through these efforts, as many as 25,000 peo-ple affected by that cri-sis will find new homes in Canada. But the majority of Syrians in desperate need of help do not want to come to Canada. They are in places like Lebanon and Jordan, or within Syria itself, and they want to go home to rebuild their lives when the war ends.
People who want to help Syrian refugees in those countries, through the Canadian
Foodgrains Bank, can do so through the Make a Difference Auction at McClary Stockyard in Abbotsford on March 24.
Altogether, over 11 million people have been affected by the conflict. About eight million people with-in Syria have been displaced from their homes, and anoth-er four million people have fled the country to live as refugees in sur-rounding countries.
Canadian Foodgrains Bank is responding to these needs, providing emergency food for families displaced from their homes.
With support from the Canadian government,
since November 2012, the Foodgrains Bank has provided over $29 million in emergen-cy food assistance for people affected by the Syrian crisis in Syria, Lebanon and Jordan.
More help is needed; although there is talk of peace, it will be a long time before these ref-ugees can go home. In the meantime, they will continue to require as-sistance.
The Make a Difference Auction in Abbotsford
begins at 10:30 a.m., fea-turing items such as do-nated cattle, agricultur-al goods and services, and other items such as cheese, plants and household goods.
Funds donated through the auction will be matched four-to-one by the Canadian gov-ernment.
Started in 2001, the annual Make a Difference Auction has raised over $1.4 mil-lion for the Foodgrains Bank.

Sparkle finishes in top 5The Abbotsford-
based Sparkle Project fell short of winning a Small Business B.C.
Award, despite crack-ing the top five in the “best community im-pact” category.
The Sparkle Project came in the top five in the initial voting process and present-ed a 10-minute pitch to a panel of judges as a result. The Best Community Impact Award – won by Cedar Opportunities Co-op Cafe, a business that employs people with developmental dis-abilities in Nanaimo – was one of 10 given out this year. The awards are staged by Small Business B.C., a resource centre for small business owners, partially funded by the ministry of small busi-ness. There were over 535 published nomi-nees from 71 commu-nities around the prov-ince.
The Sparkle Project, founded by entre-preneur and country singer Kristal Barrett-Stuart, provides work-shops aiming to assist and inspire entrepre-neurial young women.

Marissa is the co-founder of Capital Core Financial and with a company goal to re-direct one billion dollars from CRA towards the non-profi t, she is on a mission to help people implement charitable giving into their fi nancial plan. She is excited to raise thousands of dollars this year for clean wa-ter projects in Ethiopia.
Marissa was asked to join the Run for Water board when she returned from the trip. “I feel so lucky to be working with an organi-zation like Run for Water . I get to combine so many of my life passions.”
Marissa Cepelinskiwww.capitalcorefi nancial.com
“I had no idea my life would be impacted so profoundly”, recalls Marissa Cepelinski, an ultra runner and new board member of Run for Water. “I was holding this little girl’s hand in Ethiopia when it hit me that the money I raised was going to change her life forever.” Cepelinski had joined 15 other runners from the Lower Mainland on a trip to Ethiopia to visit the remote village of Hidri where they collectively raised more than $100,000 to dig a clean water well and a build a new school.
Marissa fi rst encountered Run for Water four years ago when a friend of hers invited her to run the 55km Ultra Marathon. This non-competitive team event follows the trail sys-tem from Chilliwack to Abbotsford with the goal of raising money for clean water.
“I have done many other running events but there is something unique about the Run for Water Ultra experience. It was my opportu-nity to combine my love for running with my passion to give back,” Cepelinski explains.
Cepelinski, recalls of that life changing event, “when I was walking for water I stopped and looked at this girl and real-ized that for only $35 I could change her life forever and give her a chance through

Abbotsford’s own Leland Klassen head-lines at Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Club this week in a rare ap-pearance in his hometown.
Klassen is a sought-after come-dy veteran who has toured across North America and beyond.
Although folks in Abbotsford have been able to see him on television on such shows as the Comedy Network’s Just For Laughs and CBC television’s Halifax Comedy Festival or even on Netflix’s American comedy compilation special Thou Shalt Laugh V, they rarely get a chance to see him live.
“It’s great because I don’t often get a chance to perform so close to home,” Klassen said of this week’s performances.
“Basically, the au-dience will get the same hilarious show that they always get at the club, plus some local content that the other headliners just don’t know about Abbotsford. It’s the best of both worlds.”

Fraser girls finish third in B.C.The W.A. Fraser
Falcons Grade 8 girls basketball team had to battle past some famil-iar foes to place third in the prov-ince at the Grade 8 girls invitational championships in Maple Ridge last weekend.
Fraser entered the 16-team tour-nament as the third-ranked team from the Fraser Valley region, but beat out rivals CG Howe and MEI to rise to third in the province.
The Falcons opened with a 53-44 win over Prince Rupert on Thursday morn-ing, and then beat CG Howe 43-38 later that day. Fraser fell 52-38 to Tweedsmuir on Friday, but then bounced back to beat MEI 29-22 on Saturday to finish third.

Cascades swept by BisonsTravelling to
Manitoba wasn’t a friendly experience for the UFV Cascades men’s basketball team.
The Cascades matched up in round one of the Canada West playoffs against the University of Manitoba Bisons, but lost on Thursday and Friday to end their season.
Game one on Thursday saw the Bisons jump out to a 9-0 lead to start the game, and cruise to a 78-59 win. The Cascades struggled from the field, making just two of 19 three-point shots and shoot-ing only 34 per cent overall.
Kevon Parchment led UFV with 17 points, nine rebounds and five assists, while Matt Cooley added 12 points and seven re-bounds off the bench.
Friday’s game saw the Cascades put to-gether a remarkable comeback to push the
game into overtime, but ultimately lose 77-72.
UFV trailed 64-52 with less than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but ended regulation time on a 12-0 run. A pair of Parchment jump-ers bookended eight straight points from Nate Brown to send the game to an extra frame tied at 64.
The Bisons built a five-point lead in the extra session, but the Cascades clawed their way back once again – Parchment hit a tough
contested shot on the fast break to cut the deficit to 73-72 with 34 seconds left.
But on the ensuing possession, Manitoba guard I larion Bonhomme drilled a three-pointer from the left wing with 12 seconds remaining to make it a two-posses-sion game, effectively punching his team’s ticket to the Canada West Final Four.
Despite the loss, Cascades head coach Adam Friesen liked his team’s effort.
“I’m really happy
with the guys today – we bounced back with an incredible effort,” he said. “We played tougher, we played more competitively, and sometimes you lose close ones.”
In what turned out to be the final game of his university ca-reer, Parchment led the Cascades with 21 points and added nine rebounds, five steals, two assists and one block. Brown finished with 19 points and 10 boards, and Manny Dulay chipped in with 10 points.
In other Canada West news, several Cascades were named to the league’s all-star and all-rookie teams on Monday.
Parchment and wom-en’s star Kayli Sarotri were both named to their respective first-team all-star squads, while Cascades rook-ie and MEI grad Taylor Claggett was named to the Canada West women’s all-rookie team.
UFV’s Kevon Parchment ended his Canada West career by earning a first-team all-star spot for this season.

Judy will be remembered for her extreme generosity and warm heart, she was a woman who clearly saw her purpose as that to brighten and nurture the lives of all those around her.

concern was that of helping others before helping herself. A truly beautiful woman inside and out, who always exuded an immense passion and love of her family.

She is survived by her loving husband Larry, her 5 children; Clint, Clayton, Hayley, Brett and Tyler, her mother Kay Paul, and her siblings; Wendy Peterson, Carol Wilson, Dwayne Paul, and Ole Paul, daughters-in-law; Kendra and Jacquelyn, her 4 grandchildren; Kayla, Dylan, Ethan and Noah, along with many nieces and nephews.
