Suspicious death spurs homicide probe
38-year-old man found lying on the road
Canadian musician Colin James, along with
his accompanist Chris Caddell, played to a
near sell-out crowd at Mission’s Clarke Theatre
Sunday night. James played a different
guitar for nearly every song and covered
everything from old blues tunes to crowd
favorites. The show was part of the singer’s Up
Close and Personal tour and fans seemed to
love the intimate atmo-sphere as they sang
along with many of the tunes.

Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News
Police had released few answers as of yester-day into the homicide investigation involving a man who was found lying on Lonzo Road in Abbotsford Sunday night. He died at the scene.
No details have yet emerged as to how the victim, 38-year-old Giuseppe (Joe) Zecca died
or, if it was murder, what the motive might have been.
Investigators have only said it is not believed that Zecca had injured himself or had fallen.
Abbotsford Police were called to the scene – on Lonzo Road west of Sumas Way near the corner of Vedder Way – at 11:08
p.m. after a driver saw Zecca lying on the street.
The area is just north of Highway 1 near the Sumas Way on- and off-ramps and adjacent to a park-and-ride lot.
Emergency crews arrived on the scene and attempted to render assistance, but s an

Death not yet confirmed as murderZecca was pronounced dead at 11:25 p.m.
Police determined that his injuries were suspicious, and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) was called in.
All of Lonzo Road and a portion of Vedder Way were taped off for most of Monday as investigators remained on the scene, and a smaller portion was still cordoned off yester-day (Tuesday) while police were at a home-less camp – under the Highway 1 overpass – near where Zecca was found.
IHIT did not release any new details yes-terday, including whether Zecca’s death had been confirmed as a murder.
Sources told The News that Zecca was homeless at the time of his passing, but he is not believed to have been living in the camp near the scene of his death.
Zecca’s Facebook page indicates he was living in Surrey at the time of his last post in October 2014, and it appears he only recently came to Abbotsford.
Anyone with information about Zecca’s death is asked to contact the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-4448 or Crime Stoppers at 1-880-222-8477.
Two bank robberies in two daysPolice believe same suspect involved in Langley hold-up
Abbotsford Police are investigating two bank robberies that occurred within two days last week and are believed to involve the same suspect as a similar incident in Langley last month.
The first incident in Abbotsford was on Tuesday, May 5 at 6 p.m. at a bank in the 32400 block of South Fraser Way.
Const. Ian MacDonald said a man entered the branch, waited in line and approached a teller. He then produced a note, de-manding cash, and implied that he had a weapon.
The suspect was wearing a baseball cap and glasses.
The second robbery was on Thursday, May 7 at 1:10 p.m. at a bank in the 32000 block of South Fraser Way.
The suspect gave the teller a note, demanding cash, and showed a weapon in his waist-band.
The Langley robbery took place April 27 at the Willowbrook CIBC on 64 Avenue. The suspect in that case also produced
a note, indicated he had a weap-on and demanded money.
He then fled in an older-model grey or brown van.
The suspect in all three rob-beries is described as Caucasian, in his 30s, with a medium build and between 5’10” to six feet tall.
Police have released images obtained from video surveil-lance from all three incidents.
MacDonald said banks in Abbotsford should review se-curity protocols with staff, and all suspicious activity should be immediately reported to the police.
Anyone with information about these robberies is asked
to contact the APD at 604-859-5225, text 222973 (abbypd) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Police have released surveillance footage of a man believed to have robbed two Abbotsford banks last week.

Investigators were on the scene Monday morning for the suspicious death of a man who was found severely injured Sunday night on Lonzo Road west of Sumas Way and died just minutes after emergency crews arrived.

Online bus trip planner expandedTaking the bus in Abbotsford and
Mission just got easier for anyone with access to a computer, tablet or smart-phone, following the expansion of an online transit trip-planning tool.
The Transit Trip Planner is a public transportation planning tool that com-bines the latest BC Transit schedule and route information with the power
of Google Transit and maps. It is a free service that is designed to make trip planning quick and easy.
The timing of the trip planner comes as the new Route #66 Fraser Valley Express (FVX) has recently begun its inter-regional service, linking Chilliwack and Abbotsford to Langley.
In the Central Fraser Valley, BC Transit
provided nearly 2.4 million passenger trips in 2013/14. The introduction of both the FVX and the Transit Trip Planner will encourage ridership growth, by demon-strating that public transportation is a convenient and reliable alternative to single occupancy vehicles.

Major McCallum development moves to public hearing
Cabela’s to anchor 130,000-square-foot commercial centreAlex BUTLERAbbotsford News
A proposal to build a large commercial development at McCallum Road and Highway 1 – which would include a Cabela’s outdoor outfitter store – moved forward at council on Monday.
Council gave first and sec-ond reading to the proposed 130,000-sq.ft. development, which would be anchored by the 70,000-sq.ft. Cabela’s store. It will now go to pub-lic hearing, likely on May 25.
The site requires rezon-ing and an amendment to the official community plan (OCP), which currently des-ignates the site as 88 per cent city residential land and 12 per cent commercial, while the proposal requires 81 per cent commercial and 19 per cent residential.
The staff report notes that while the expansion of the commercial designation to accommodate the Cabela’s is supported, the additional space may adversely impact the development of “walkable, livable and complete communities within other areas of the city in-cluding the U-District.”
The city is in the process of developing a new OCP – a plan that guides decision-making on growth and development in the city – and a plan for the area around the University of the Fraser Valley, which is located on the other side of the highway
from the proposed development. The developer would be required to provide $50,000 for
traffic-calming measures in the area, $30,000 for future pedes-trian or transit upgrades and other cash contributions.
Coun. Sandy Blue said the proposal is “really exciting” and would include a mix of inter-national and national retail-ers. She said if the project goes ahead as proposed, it is already fully leased and would bring jobs to the com-munity.
But Coun. Dave Loewen noted the significant switch from residential zoning to commercial, and asked if less commercial space was possible.
Mark Neill, director of com-munity planning, said that through the OCP update, staff are looking at the city’s demands for commercial and industrial space. He said there is some concern about the magnitude of the com-
mercial amendment proposed, as staff doesn’t yet have a full understanding of the city’s needs.
Loewen said that while he supported the project going to public hearing, “I’m raising the red flag on this project.”
Mayor Henry Braun told The News that Cabela’s “is a retailer that I think we’d like to see in Abbotsford,” but said residents will have their say at the upcoming public hearing.
Sketches in a city report show the proposed development of a commer-cial centre, including a Cabela’s. Submitted

Farmers prepare for next avian influenza outbreakFarms to receive government compensation
Tyler OLSENAbbotsford News
As the poultry industry works to protect itself from future avian influenza outbreaks, officials shed new light Friday on the source of a bird flu outbreak that led to the deaths of more than 200,000 birds last winter.
Speaking Friday dur-ing an event to announce funding for poultry farm-ers affected by the avian influenza outbreak, B.C. Ministry of Agriculture chief veterinarian officer Dr. Jane Pritchard said the virus was likely the prod-uct of two different influ-enza strains combining in the wild and changing into a new and more viru-lent disease.
Pritchard said Ministry of Agriculture staff recently discovered that a falcon killed by a B.C. hunter over the winter was infected with an Eurasian H5N8 version of avian influenza.
The discovery backed officials’ belief that the H5N2 strain found on 13 B.C. farms was the descen-dent of a H5N8 avian flu version that first appeared last January in Korea and later spread to Europe.
Here in North America, that virus likely mingled with a low-pathogenic H5N2 strain found in the wild before infecting local farms, Pritchard said.
In Canada, the outbreak was contained to farmsin Aldergrove, Chilliwack and Abbotsford, and quar-antines have been lifted at all affected farms. Butsince its discovery in B.C., the virus has since sweptsouth through the United States, causing the deathsof more than 25 million birds. That makes the out-
break the most damag-ing avian flu outbreak inAmerican history.
On Friday, federal andprovincial politicianswere in Abbotsford to an-nounce $1.25 million infunding for a programthat will pay operators of infected farms up to 90 per cent of the costs asso-ciated with the outbreak.
The federal and provin-cial governments will also provide up to $325,025 to
the BC Poultry Association to help establish insur-ance to protect farmers from the financial costs of future outbreaks.
The industry has been working on creating avianinfluenza insurance for years, and Abbotsford farm-er Garnet Etsell said work was 75 to 95 per cent complete when the outbreak hit in late November.
“It’s going to really help the industry move forward in future events,” he said. “It’s not a question of if; it’sa question of when.”
Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas speaks Friday during an announcement of compensation for farmers affected by the avian influenza outbreak.

ETF STRATEGIES TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE PORTFOLIO GROWTH
FREE Seminar!$1 million up for grabs in hole-in-one challenge
Money raised for Holmberg House and Abbotsford HospiceWant to be a millionaire? You can strike it rich at the Rotary Club of
Abbotsford’s Million Dollar Hole in One contest from May 30 to June 7 this year.
The annual charity event at Fraserglen Golf Course is the club’s biggest fundraiser of the year and while it has been running for the past 15 years, no one has yet claimed the top prize.
“Holes in one happen every day during qualifying rounds, but nobody has hit one on the final day,” said Sara Lawson, a Rotarian and event organizer.
That’s because there are 95 yards between the tee and the pin during the first eight days and 165 yards in the final round on the ninth day.
During qualifying days, golfers can spend $10 for 12 balls, $20 for 30 balls, or $50 for 100 balls.
You can also enter to win 100 balls, plus an hour of coaching time with professional golfer James Lepp through a contest sponsored by the Abbotsford News. Visit abbynews.com/contests for details.
There are daily prizes for scoreboard leaders,
such as weekend getaways and a package to the Abbotsford International Airshow, that anyone can win.
The top seven players who come closest to the hole receive prizes and ad-vance to the final round. And even if you’re not a skilled golfer, you can still proceed if you have luck on your side and are one of the five players selected during a random draw.
There is also a junior day, ladies day, and Rotary day, to encourage a range of participants. Close to 500 participants come try it out every year.
“You don’t have to be a golfer to do this,” said Lawson, noting the chal-lenge is also a great team building exercise for busi-nesses and other organiza-tions.
The majority of proceeds raised this year will ben-
efit Holmberg House and the Abbotsford Hospice Society.

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I Wednesday, May 13, 2015
A8
Published by Black Press Ltd. 34375 Gladys Avenue, Abbotsford. B.C.
Is the era of school buses nearing its end?
It’s been 20 years since there’s been a school-aged kid around the house, so matters relating to education and its access have not been top of mind for quite some time.
A story in one of the dailies yesterday did, however, catch my attention since it hailed the demise of school bus ser-vice in Maple Ridge.
Axed as a cost-saving measure, the service to some 370 kids in that com-munity ends in 2016.
What surprised me, other than the impending cancellation, is that fewer than 400 students in such a large dis-trict used that bus service.
What was even more eye-opening in the story was that Abbotsford and Chilliwack school districts charge kids
(parents, actually) to use their school buses.
As a parent with children riding the bus in this community, you are obvi-ously aware of all this.
For those of you like me who weren’t, here’s what it costs to transport kids each morning on those ubiquitous yel-low buses: $200 per child annually, ris-ing to $400 for three or more riders in the family to get to their local school. If the student(s) attends a “school of choice,” the annual fees rise to $350 per, $700 for the family rate of three or more kids.
To be clear, I’m not complaining about the cost. Any kid who rides public tran-sit to and from school obviously pays, so why should the district (taxpayers) provide a free ride on a school bus?
I’m not sure what private schools charge, if anything, for their school transportation, though I remember not only paying a user fee but an addi-tional amount monthly to purchase the school bus service when my eldest son briefly attended such a school.
It was fair then, and I assume parents think it fair if that’s occurring today.
For those who live in rural areas, hav-ing a school bus roll by the door each morning and afternoon is a conve-nience not to be taken lightly.
And it has to be far less expensive and time-consuming in the long run than personally driving your kids to and from class.
Far better, I’m convinced, than the massive traffic jams I see in front of many urban elementaries as parents, oblivious to the rest of the motoring public, crowd and cross streets when picking up their kids.
I’m never sure if it’s laziness or pa-rental fear that their children will come
to harm if they walk or ride their bikesto and from classes instead of being driven, but I do know that cycling toschool has virtually disappeared.
For the many years I’ve been driving past one elementary, the bike rackswere usually empty. Now they no lon-ger exist on that school’s yard.
I suppose, however, that had I chil-dren in school today, I might also be driving them if a bus was unavailable. The weather, volume of traffic and the potential for some creep to pounce on them just makes it so.
On the other hand, seeing those big yellow buses cruising through our rural areas morning and afternoon al-ways brings back fond memories of mychildhood and frosty mornings waiting at the corner for a ride.
I also recall eagerly awaiting my 16thbirthday so I could banish from my life the communal bus in favour of a beatercar to get me back and forth, and to so many other more exciting places as well.
The provincial Electoral Boundaries Commission got it remarkably wrong in terms of proposed changes to provincial boundaries in Abbotsford and Langley.
In most parts of the rapidly growing Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley areas, the redrawn provincial ridings make sense.
That’s not the case here, as recently noted by the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Henry Braun, who sent letters of opposition to the commission.
From its current three, Abbotsford would see five MLAs, four of whom would also represent significant portions of Langley, Fort Langley, Mission or Chilliwack. One riding would be solely within Abbotsford.
Instead of moving the Fort Langley-Aldergrove boundary to the west to take into account growth in Langley, the com-missioners split Langley in half along Highway 1. But in order to find enough people to fill two of the three ridings, the commission reached deep into Abbotsford, including rural and urban areas west and
south of the Abbotsford-Clearbrook town centre area, and going as far east as the Huntingdon-Sumas border crossing. At the same time, the commission included a portion of Chilliwack into the most eastern Abbotsford riding.
These decisions serve none of the com-munities well.
There will be four MLAs juggling Abbotsford, Langley, Mission and Chilliwack issues. Langley and Abbotsford aren’t even in the same regional dis-trict, and Abbotsford isn’t in the Metro Vancouver area, so major transportation issues such as TransLink aren’t relevant here.
The commission is accepting comments until May 26. Community groups, busi-ness organizations, political watchers and others who have concerns about these proposed boundaries need to let the com-mission know that they are not acceptable.

Student improvement important measure The Fraser Institute (FI) has done a great service for educa-
tion. Regardless of people’s opinions about methodology, their publication was the first attempt in Canada at providing the public with an objective indication regarding the quality of educational service in their community.
The FI model has improved over time because of criticisms following its earlier releases. Of course, certain voices around the province continue to criticize, because any focus on stu-dent achievement is threatening. However, their rating system remains flawed and needs revision.
Research demonstrates that student achievement is related to the quality of teaching and the students’ socio-economic status (SES.) No one should be defensive about this informa-tion. Students from poorer homes can learn just as well and, indeed do, during the school year. The lengthy summer vaca-
tion is the issue because of variances in students’ forgetting rates. Unfortunately, school systems disregard this research and continue to function as they did a century ago.
FI research actually demonstrates why its methodology is flawed. It ranks schools on the basis of raw scores, which are influenced by SES. For example, two large cities showed that students in homes making less than $60,000 averaged a rating of 4.1 and 4.3. Using a $110,000 threshold, the average in both cities was 8.0.
FI needs to modernize its methodology by rating gain scores, which is what really matters. Everyone would benefit more from knowing which schools are most successful in improving student achievement. The measure of good teaching is know-ing how much students improve.

Court will hear appeal of securities decisionMcCabe fights ban from provincial capital markets
Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News
An Abbotsford man previously found to have contravened the B.C. Securities Act has won the right to ap-
peal that decision. Colin Robert Hugh
McCabe will now go before a B.C. Court of Appeal panel to deter-mine whether the de-cision should be over-turned on the basis
that the B.C. Securities Commission (BCSC) did not have jurisdic-tion to sanction him for misconduct.
McCabe, 30, was permanently banned from B.C.’s capital
markets in January of this year for publish-ing false stock reports in the monthly Elite Stock Report.
BCSC records at the time indicated that McCabe researched stocks, using publicly available information such as websites and news releases, and, if he thought they had a shot at being profit-able, he would write about them in his newsletter.
The Elite Stock Report was distributed only by direct unsolic-ited mail in the U.S.
A BCSC panel found that between October 2009 and July 2010, McCabe published “greatly misleading reports” about three companies in order to inflate their stock price.
However, in his ap-plication to the court, McCabe said he
wished to appeal the decision because the BCSC did not have ju-risdiction to sanction him for the conduct.
He said Elite Stock Report was published and mailed in the U.S., there was no trading or exchange of affect-ed securities in B.C.,
and the report pub-lished information ex-clusively about stocks traded only in the U.S.
The BCSC main-tained that it had ju-risdiction over McCabe because he is a B.C. resident and it was his “authorship of the misrepresentations”
that contravened theB.C. Securities Act.
The judge consider-ing McCabe’s applica-tion agreed that thismatter could form thebasis for the appeal.
McCabe had alsosought to have in-cluded in his appealan order by the BCSC that he pay $4.3 mil-lion – almost $2.8 mil-lion he obtained as aresult of his miscon-duct and an adminis-trative penalty of $1.5million.
He argued that theamount was too high,but the judge said the amount was appropri-ate and could not beincluded in the appeal.
This means that if the appeals panel up-holds the decision thatMcCabe contravened the B.C. Securities Act, he will still have to pay the $4.3 million.
A date for the appealhas not yet been set.

Nursing care inspires new UFV scholarshipSupport for third-year studentsA local dentist will support a new local
scholarship, inspired by the excellent nursing care his father received at Abbotsford RegionalHospital (ARH).
Dr. Malwinder Singh Dhami, a dentist witha long-established practice in Abbotsford, has been connected to the University of Fraser Valley (UFV) for many years.
He has been a member of the UFV Abbotsford Community Council and played a key role in fundraising for the establishment of a Centre for Indo-Canadian Studies and a regional in-novation chair on Canada–India EconomicDevelopment at UFV in the mid-2000s. He was also one of the first donors to UFV’s Peace Studies initiative and established the Dhami Family Endowment Leadership award.
Last summer, events in Dhami’s family in-spired him to create a new way of supporting his local university. His elderly father, Ram Singh Dhami, was admitted to ARH for treat-ment.
During his father’s stay, Dhami spent eachday visiting at his bedside. He observed the excellent care his father received, and wasimpressed at the professional attention from each of the nursing staff — some of whom weregraduates of the UFV bachelor of science in nursing program.
To show his gratitude, he established anendowed fund to provide an annual award toa third-year UFV nursing student known forhis or her generosity or volunteer/community leadership. This $10,000 gift will support anannual award.
Another donor has also stepped forward toadd a gift to the newly created nursing award.

Starfish program wins international recognition
The Starfish Pack program, a joint proj-ect between the Abbotsford Food Bank and the Abbotsford Rotary Club, received its second internation-al recognition over the past weekend.
During an annual Rotary district confer-ence, held in Tulalip, Wash., the program was given the McLean Community Service Award, recognizing it as the most outstand-ing community service project in the Rotary 5050 District, which covers clubs in B.C. and Washington.
Starfish Packs pro-vides weekly back-packs containing six meals each weekend to over 260 elementary school students in 22 Abbotsford schools. The program also re-cently launched its first Starfish Depot, which will provide food and other re-sources to school chil-
dren and their familiesyear-round.
Although the pro-gram was created lo-cally, it has attracted significant attentionand interest from out-side the community aswell.
Last month, theAldergrove Rotaryclub launched its ownStarfish Pack program to serve students inthat community.
Other communitiesare in discussion withthe club, asking forhelp in bringing theprogram to their com-munities.
Abbotsford Rotarypresident Hugh Elliswants to ensureAbbotsford doesn’tlose sight of the need.
“We’re feeding over260 kids every week-end, which is amazing.But there are still 150additional kids goinghungry every singleweekend because we don’t have the dollarsor volunteers to in-clude them in the pro-gram yet. Being recog-nized with this recentaward can’t cause us tostop and celebrate, weneed to use it as mo-tivation to move for-ward until every childin Abbotsford whoneeds this program can get it.”
A May 8 News storydid not list all eight Abbotsford elementaryschools in the prov-ince’s top 100, accord-ing to the latest FraserInstitute report. Theyare: King Traditional(53), MEI (53), St. James(67), Matsqui (67), Auguston Traditional (73), Bradner (73), South Poplar (93), andDasmesh Punjabi (99).
The rankings are based on FoundationSkills Assessments tests given to studentsin Grades 4 and 7 in 978 public and privateschools.

Concert raises Nepal funds
Second annual fashion show takes place May 29
A concert on Sunday, May 17 in Abbotsford raises money to sup-port the relief efforts in Nepal following the recent earthquake.
The concert begins at 6 p.m. at Emmanuel Mennonite Church (3471 Clearbrook Rd.) and features violinist Calvin Dyck, pianist Betty Suderman and special guests.
Local pastors will discuss efforts being
made to get aid to re-mote villages that were at the epicentre of the 7.8 magnitude earth-quake on April 25.
Vanj Thiessen, for-mer missionary to Nepal, will give a PowerPoint presenta-tion, and a free-will of-fering will be taken.
Expenses for the concert are covered by sponsorship, and all donations will go di-rectly to Nepal.
The second annual Move Fashion Show will benefit the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley (WRSFV).
The event takes place May 29 at 35562 Mercer Ave. in the Matsqui flats.
Move is a fashion movement created to show-case what local businesses have to offer. Come find trendy wearable fashions and modern hair designs, or discover the hippest way to market your business.
More than 200 guests and 75 volunteers contrib-uted to last year’s show, which raised over $4,000.
The event is being hosted by Chantel Funk Design Inc., an organization that is passionate about giving back to the community.
The WRSFV supports women, children, and youth who have experienced violence in their lives. The non-profit organization runs programs from 10 locations in Mission and Abbotsford. Some programs include: victim services, outreach support services, multicultural outreach support services (Punjabi), stopping the violence counsel-ling, children who witness abuse counselling, first and second stage housing projects, transition houses (shelters for battered women), a preg-nancy outreach program, and a thrift boutique called Fronya.

UFV applauds basketball
format changeThe University of the Fraser Valley is pleased with
a change to the Canada West basketball format thatwill see the adoption of a single-conference.
The format change will affect both the men’s and women’s basketball teams.
Beginning with the 2016-17 season, the 17 Canada West basketball schools will abandon the currenttwo-conference format for a single conference fea-turing a 20-game regular season schedule. Eachteam will play four geographical or historical op-ponents every year, with games against six of theremaining 12 opponents every other year. Over four years, each team will play every team in the conference at least twice, and will visit every gym in Canada West at least once.
“As a department, we think this is a much better basketball solu-tion for our players and fans,” said Steve Tuckwood, UFV’s director of athletics and campus recreation. “This will allow us to have a much better CanadaWest experience by playing against a broader cross-section of teams, making for a more competitiveatmosphere in basketball.”
Under the current format, which took effect inthe 2014-15 season, long-established Canada Westmembers like the UBC Thunderbirds had played in one conference, while newer programs like the Cascades played in another. That was despite thestrength of some of the newer programs, like UFV’spowerhouse women’s basketball team. The move led UFV president Mark Evered to pen an open letterin 2013 denouncing the alignment.
“This decision will impact . . . our ability to recruitand retain young athletes, our reputation, and ourcontributions to the athletic development of our region,” Evered wrote at the time.
The format overhaul should ease some of those concerns.
Beginning in 2015-16, the Cascades will play fel-low B.C. teams Trinity Western, Thompson Rivers, UBC Okanagan and UNBC on an annual basis, whilefacing the rest of the Canada West squads in theregular season every second year.

Lions grab pair of junior boys titles
Robert Bateman Timberwolves.
The game was a re-match of the 2014 val-ley and provincial fi-nals, with Abbotsford – who have won the B.C. crown for three con-secutive years – taking both of those matches as well.
Panthers co-coach Peter Cannon gave credit to Bateman, who had several players re-cently come back from a rugby trip to Japan just days before hav-ing to play the Panthers and Heritage Park.
“Even though the score was 55-10, they never gave up, and even though they were bruised and beat up, they kept going,” he said.
Cheyenne Sharrott, Beth Hand, Tausani Levale, Reena Grewal, Kashish Arya, Paige Pedersen scored tries for Abbotsford with Tausani and Nakisa Levale both scoring conversions.
Both squads will move on to play in the provincial champion-ships which start May 21.
Last week, the Yale Lions claimed both the Tier 1 and Tier 2 ju-
nior boys rugby Upper Fraser Valley champi-onships.
Yale’s Tier 1 team beat Mouat 56-12, while the Tier 2 squad – which comprises mainly Grade 9 players – topped Mouat 60-5.
Back Logan Israelson and forward Deji Arojojoye had big games for the Tier 2 Lions.
“We had some real good efforts from the whole team,” coach Clayton Radons said. “It was probably the best game we played as a group.”
As for the Tier 1 squad, Zach Bain was instrumental in the Tier 1 victory, scoring a cou-ple of tries.
The dual victories may be the first time teams from the same school have won both Upper Fraser Valley ju-nior titles.
The Tier 1 junior Lions followed that up with a win against Abbotsford Monday afternoon to advance to the Fraser Valley semifinal.
Yale’s AAA squad was in action Wednesday afternoon in the Fraser Valley Championship against Surrey’s Earl Marriott. Check Friday’s paper for a score.
Yale’s Israel Bain is tack-led during the Lions’ quarterfinal victory over Abbotsford in the junior boys Fraser Valley Championships quarter-final.

The Fraser Timber Supply Area Cooperative Association (FTSACA) is developing a Pest Management Plan (PMP) under the Integrated Pest Management Act. This plan will describe a vegetation management program using Integrated Pest Management, including the use of herbicides.
The purpose of the PMP is to describe the vegetation management program in the FTSACA chart area in the Fraser Timber Supply Area. Vegetation control methods in this plan include aerial foliar spray, ground foliar spray (including backpack and power nozzle), stem injection (hack and squirt), basal bark sprays, manual girdling, power saw, stem bending and pulling and mechanical site preparation. These treatments will take place within the Fraser Timber Supply Area that contains Crown land designated as forest land within the Chilliwack Forest District extending from the Nesakwatch River drainage on the Canada / US border in the south to the Nahatlatch River drainage in the north. It extends from the Pitt River in the west to the Skagit River in the east. Since the FTSACA chart areas are spread throughout the Chilliwack Forest District, nearby towns include Boston Bar and Hope and the communities of the Fraser Valley. There are numerous dwellings scattered throughout the plan area. Proposed herbicides to be used include Vision, VisionMax, Vantage, Weed-Master (glyphosate), Release MSO, Garlon RTU, Garlon XRT (triclopyr) and Sylgard 309 (siloxylated polyether). This Pest Management Plan will be in effect for a period of five years from the date of approval (approximately 2015 to 2020).
Interested parties may view the Pest Management Plan application in detail at the following location:
Dunham and Associates Forest Professionals Ltd. 9194 Edward St. Chilliwack, B.C. V2P 4C6 (604) 793-6978 Attention: Michelle Dunham, RPF

Born to the late Cyril and Irene Warren on January 2, 1964, Rhonda grew up in Surrey and graduated from Queen Elizabeth Senior Secondary in June 1982. She married the love of her life, Jeff Graw on August 15, 1987 and they relocated to Abbotsford.
Rhonda worked for Lilydale and Black Press. She was an avid lover of animals, books, desserts and good glass of wine. Rhonda was so loved by all who knew her. Always smiling, she had a continual pos-itive attitude and even the diagnosis of ALS in 2012 could not dampen her spirit. Continually classy, un-deniably brave and a fi ghter until the end, Rhonda is survived by her husband Jeff, her son Eric, her sister Sherry, her brother Dale (Donna) and an abundance of family and friends.
Services to honour her life will be held on May 29, 2015 at 1:30 pm at Abbotsford Evangelical Free Church 33218 Marshall Road, Abbotsford, BC.
In lieu of fl owers, the family requests donations be made to the ALS society of BC at www.alsbc.ca or to

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of William Peter Edward (Bill) Dixon on Friday, May 1, 2015 at the age of 33.Left behind to cherish his memory is his wife Tami (nee Kendall) and their two-year-old son Frazier. Bill is survived by his mother Edith Gazzola, stepfather Clark Carter, brother Jeremy Dixon (Raquel), step brother Timothy Carter, father-in-law Alan Kendall (Cathy), brother-in-law Sid Kendall (Jodi), aunt
Judy MacNeill (Rodger), uncle Michael Gazzola (Pam), aunt Patricia Zimmer (Robert), aunt Mary Ellen Beamin (Charlie), aunt LeaAnn Russell, aunt Debra Dunsmore (Mic). He will also be missed by nieces, nephews, cousins and numerous lifelong friends.Bill was predeceased by his father Michael Dixon, grandparents Edward Dixon (Dorothy), Ruth Dixon, Peter and Mary Gazzola, uncle Peter Gazzola and mother-in-law Noreen Kendall.Bill was born in Hope, BC on May 18, 1981, and growing up he spent time in Hope, Vancouver and Yale. He graduated from Hope Senior Secondary in 2000, and lived in Lone Butte before moving to Kamloops, where he enrolled in welding at Thompson Rivers University. While in Kamloops, Bill met his wife Tami and they began their life together; they married on a sun swept Mexican beach in January 2012, surrounded by their closest friends and family members.Bill took great pride in his family. Though he spent years working in camps in Alberta, he was hired by Highland Valley Copper in February and was so excited to fi nally be back home full-time.His passing was shocking and terribly unfair, we take solace in knowing he was with friends and doing something he loved. Bill is loved so deeply by everyone he knew, he will be greatly missed.A celebration of life will be held on Saturday May 16th at 2pm at the Schoening Funeral Chapel with Pastor Don Maione offi ciating.
