2015
Megan Dirksen was out for dinner with friends Friday evening in a Paris restaurant when a new acquaintance, a local named Marie, checked her phone and brought her hands up to her face.
Hours earlier, Marie had told Dirksen – a Mission resident who had come to the city for a month-long vacation – that Paris never gets old.
“No matter how long you are here, you al-ways discover something new,” she said
Now Dirksen looked on with concern, as Marie learned that her beloved city had come under attack by men bearing suicide vests and AK-47s.
Soon the phones of Marie and the rest of those at the group’s tables lit up as family members sought to get in touch and learn their loved ones were safe.
The group soon broke up and outside the restaurant, Dirksen and her friend were able to get a taxi with the help of their tour guide.
“As we waited, the city was at the deadest calm I have ever felt. Eerie is the word and

Terrorist attacks in Paris last Friday shouldn’t change Canadian attitudes or pol-icies towards those fleeing violence in Syria or else-where, says Wayne Bremner, executive director of the Abbotsford-based Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) BC, which has already helped nearly a dozen churches apply to sponsor refugees.
Although much is still unknown about those who planned and carried out the bombings and shootings that killed 129 people, the attacks are believed to be linked to the Islamic State (ISIS), which is engaged in bloody con-flict in a number of Middle Eastern countries, resulting in widespread destruction, death and displacement of civilian populations.
Five of the nine attack-ers had been identified as of press time. All five had previously visited Syria and were of French nationali-ty. Another man is believed to have travelled on a fake Syrian passport. But the at-tacks have prompted some to call for the government to scale back its efforts to reset-tle those affected by the ref-ugee crisis, many of whom have come from countries where ISIS is active – includ-ing Syria and Iraq.
During the election, the Liberal government had pledged to bring 25,000 refu-gees into Canada by the end of the year. Details of that initiative were still being worked out when terror-ists struck Paris. This week, the Conservative Premier of Saskatchewan Brad Wall called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to suspend his plan to speed up the re-settlement of refugees in Canada, although Ontario and Quebec say they are still on board.
Bremner, though, said it
would be a “rather tragic sit-uation” if security concerns caused Canada to back away from efforts to help refugees.
“It’s really unfortunate that the actions of a very small number of people would cause large concern regard-ing the Syrian population as a whole,” he said.
Bremner noted that the at-tacks in Paris are a symptom of the very same type of fighting that has displaced two-thirds of Syrians and caused many to seek refuge in Europe. Bremner said screening pro-tocols need to be followed, but that Canadians shouldn’t be afraid of those seeking to come here.
“There’s a good process in place,” said Bremner, who noted that refugees are screened by national se-curity agencies.
The MCC’s Abbotsford-based B.C. headquarters has already helped 11 Mennonite churches apply to sponsor refugee families. Around half of those church-es are located in Abbotsford. Dozens more churches have inquired about help-ing to sponsor refu-gees.
“We’ve had an unprecedented re-sponse,” Bremner said.
Jati Sidhu, the Miss ion-Matsqui -Fraser Canyon Liberal MP, was not available for an interview but provided an email state-ment.
“The Paris attacks are a tragedy, and remind us that we must be vigilant against those who would use terror to threaten both our lives and freedom,” the response read. “That vigilance will be well in place when we offer our help to those refugees
seeking to escape the very tyranny and violence perpe-trated in France.”
Sidhu wrote that he couldn’t comment on how many refugees may be heading to the Abbotsford area. “We have no idea of the numbers B.C. may be ex-pecting,” he wrote, adding that the government will be in touch with premiers and mayors.
“We have a team of min-isters currently working on a plan to bring the refugees
to Canada responsi-bly, effectively, and in a secure way,” Sidhu wrote.
H o w e v e r , A b b o t s f o r d Conservative MP Ed Fast says the govern-ment should re-ex-amine its timeline objectives in reset-tling refugees here.
Fast told The News that Trudeau should “reconsider” timelines for bringing refu-gees to Canada.
“The Paris attacks are shocking and I believe it gives Canada pause to re-
flect on how fragile global security really is,” Fast said Monday.
“Canada is not im-mune to this insidi-ous force.”
Fast said the gov-ernment needs to make security of Canadians its prior-ity, but he said refu-gee resettlement can
still take place.“It’s always a balance be-
tween compassion and our national security interests, but those are not mutual-ly exclusive objectives,” Fast said. “Our party will sup-port efforts to provide a safe home for the most vulnera-ble people in Syria and Iraq, but we’re also demanding that all refugees will be properly screened to ensure that Canada remains safe.”
B.C. Premier Christy Clark said Monday that while there are legitimate security concerns, many refugees are fleeing the same type of vi-olence inflicted on Parisians last week.
Abbotsford Community Services is also gearing up to serve an expected influx of refugees settling in the Abbotsford area.
Donna Lo, the communi-ty organization’s manager of settlement services, says they’re taking an inventory of what they have and what they need.
Currently, one of the settle-ment workers speaks Arabic, and there is also a translator program the group can tap into.
A number of local church-es, as well as some local residents, have offered spare space for temporary hous-ing, And they’re planning a meeting on Nov. 30 with immigrants from areas near Syria and local service pro-viders, to chart out the next steps.
“The majority of our cli-ents are immigrants, not refugees,” said Lo. “We hope to be ready.”
With Premier Clark urg-ing incoming refugees to consider areas beyond the dense, housing-starved Vancouver core, it’s like-ly some will choose Abbotsford, especially given the city’s strong network of charitable and communi-ty services for immigrants from groups like ACS and MCC.
Lo recently attended a Vancouver symposium on how to help Syrian refu-gees, from the Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and Service Agencies of B.C. She said cultural literacy will be a big component of their coming work.
“Every country is differ-ent, every culture is differ-ent,” she said.

Family with dry well given five years to pay for city water connection
Hook-up expected to cost over $9,000
An Abbotsford family whose well ran dry last month will be given five years to pay the full cost of connection to the city water system.
The Pickett family property, in the Clearbrook Road area, re-lied on a nine-metre-deep well dug in 1928 to provide water for Leah and Chris Pickett and their five children. When it ran dry, they blamed the city’s group of 39-metre wells in the nearby Bevan area for lowering the water table.
However, a city-commis-sioned consultant’s report says the Bevan wells didn’t contrib-ute to this, and instead overall dry conditions over the sum-mer and the shallowness of the Pickett’s well caused the loss of water.
“Operation of the Bevan wells has not caused the low water conditions that have been reported at the [Picketts’] well,” wrote Piteau Associates Engineering Ltd., a hydrogeo-logical consulting firm.
Leah Pickett disagrees with this assessment, saying that Piteau prepared the initial plan for the Bevan wells and they’d be unlikely to go back and find fault in their previous work.
She’s happy about the pay-ment plan, though, as it will a g a i n allow her family to have run-ning water in their home.
“I think this is w o n d e r -ful…[but] until I have water com-ing out of my taps, I’m trying to be re-served in my excitement,” Leah said.
The council executive com-mittee approved a recommen-dation for a payment plan on Nov. 16, so the Picketts could hook up quickly and then pay off the cost, estimated at be-tween $9,200 and $14,000, over
five years. Mayor Henry Braun said the payment plan wasn’t approved because the city was at fault, but rather because water is a necessity, and it’s only fair to extend extra time to pay to someone experiencing genuine financial hardship.
“It’s not our prob-lem, but they are our resi-dents, so we’re try-ing to help them,” said Braun said.
The fam-ily told the city they c o u l d n ’ t
possibly pay the entire cost at once. Chris works in the oil industry and has seen his in-come fall by half this year, and Leah is a stay-at-home mom.
They’ve been already strug-gling to pay bills, and have tem-porarily relocated to a friend’s farm in Saskatchewan, where Chris was offered some work.
They plan to live there until their house in Abbotsford has running water again.
Council also recommended for staff to write a payment plan policy, so others experi-encing financial hardship can have the option of paying off water connection over time.
Coun. Sandy Blue said the policy should have a clear bar for financial hardship, so peo-ple don’t use it just to get out of paying bills.
Coun. Ross Siemens said he was unhappy the family jumped to the conclusion of blaming the city for their dry well in the first place.
“It gives the city a bit of a black eye,” he said.
And Coun. Moe Gill added that the new policy should have a clear definition where it does and doesn’t apply.
The Picketts have city water pipes running right up to their property line, but Gill was con-cerned an unclear policy could be used for highly expensive connections to far-flung rural dwellings.

I don’t have the words, only the feeling, to describe it.”
Dirksen said the sirens were continu-ous over much of the next 48 hours, and that police and military personnel were walking in groups and standing on many corners.
“The city of light and love is not feeling so good in this moment ... You could see the heartache in Marie’s face for the upset of her city, the fear in Sebastian’s eyes, the innocence in Marta trying to get home, and the brave front Jorge put on,” Dirksen said of her dinner companions.
Although Dirksen had planned on stay-ing until the end of the month, she has now cut her trip short and planned to ar-rive back in Mission on Wednesday.
■ ■ ■
Just 30 minutes after Dirksen’s table was learning about the attacks, Michelle Sagert arrived in Paris on a Eurostar train. Sagert and her best friend, who both grew up in Abbotsford and now live in London, walked towards their rental apartment.
They heard sirens, but otherwise noth-ing seemed too out of place. Only when they got to their apartment did they learn what had taken place.
Sagert and her friend cancelled their plans to visit the Eiffel Tower that night
and instead stayed in.Sagert, who had been to Paris twice
before, said people were still going about their lives the next morning.
“The mood was sombre but not defeat-ed,” she said in an email. “Every Parisian we came across, we told them we were sorry for what had happened to their city and they all had the same response: It was awful, but Paris was their city and they weren’t going to stay inside out of fear.”
As Sagert and her companion toured the city, she said they felt safe due to the presence of armed police and military.
On Monday, Sagert and her friend went to the Arc de Triomphe, where people were paying respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Some were in tears, while others sung the national anthem.
“We did feel a bit gauche going to tourist attractions and smiling for photos,” Sagert wrote. “But we tried to be respectful of the people mourning and simultaneously we didn’t want to stay inside out of fear. We carried on with our trip as usual. Maybe we picked up on the Parisian energy?”
She continued: “Paris is an amazing city and the people who live there could not have been kinder to us, even in a time when they needed compassion shown to them.”
■ ■ ■
Carissa Youssef first learned of the attacks as she arrived in Paris Saturday morning to a clogged airport.
Youssef had just wrapped up a couple weeks of work in Uganda, and had taken a quick flight from Amsterdam to Paris to meet a friend.
But the city the Abbotsford resident ar-rived to Saturday morning was very differ-ent from the one she expected.
Security was high at the airport, and the name of each passenger was cleared through a computer, a process that took many hours.
“It was a bit of a wild arrival,” she said.Once in the city, Youssef said she felt
safe, but like Dirksen, described the atmo-sphere as “really eerie.”
“I had never been to Paris before, but my girlfriend kept shaking her head, saying ‘This is so strange.’”
Walking to her friend’s apartment, a bicyclist passed, tears streaming down his face. Shopkeepers were also crying.
“It was just a really solemn, sad place.”Youssef was set to leave Monday morn-
ing, but with a curfew in place and trans-portation still spotty, she opted to stay at the airport, which had a massive military presence.
“It was just a real tense environment.”

An Abbotsford restau-rateur says a nearby homeless camp is af-fecting his business.
Joe Paliotti, who own’s Paliotti’s Italian Restaurant, says he has had to hire a parking attendant to ensure customers are com-fortable leaving their cars in the lot that sits between his business and a homeless camp erected in September in a vacant lot.
Paliotti’s restau-rant and the camp share a small triangu-lar block bordered by Gladys Avenue, Cyril Street and Essendene Avenue in downtown Abbotsford. The camp is an outgrowth of the protest encampment that has taken over the opposite side of Gladys Avenue.
He says the camp has posed several challeng-
es since it was estab-lished.
“Not only is it the visuals, but you smell it in the air,” he said. There have also been noises that have dis-turbed customers.
“It’s constantly one thing or another.”
Paliotti feels the city is trying to help those in the camp, but said those living on the lot don’t want shelter.
“In Canada, no-body should be on our streets, and the city is trying to get them off the street,” he said.
Paliotti said he also recently had a $6,000 char-broiler that was being repaired stolen from his lot.
“My mistake,” he said. “I left it out there and thought, who’s going to steal it?”
He speculates it was
stolen for the scrap metal value.
The camp was erect-ed in mid-September by activists unhappy when a park site was shut down by the city.
The property is par-tially owned by the Abbotsford District Teachers’ Association and the city, with the city-owned portions covered in uneven mounds of gravel.
The city said in September that it wouldn’t remove campers from the site because it was consid-ered an extention of the Gladys Avenue pro-test camp.
Since then, the B.C. Supreme Court has ruled that the home-less have a right to camp overnight on city-owned land, but must take shelters down during the day.

Power outages caused by strong winds in Abbotsford on Tuesday affected more than 6,000 customers at the peak of the storm.
The outages were caused mainly by trees falling on power lines. In one case, the winds resulted in a tree falling across Dawson Road, west of Sumas Mountain Road, blocking traffic in both directions until it could be cleared.
Power was restored to most homes in Abbotsford before 11:30 a.m., including the biggest area, which affected about 4,200 cus-tomers north of Hawthorne Avenue, east of Emerson Street, west of Beck Road and South of Arcadian Way.
Environment Canada had issued a wind warn-ing on Tuesday for Abbotsford and Chilliwack, and gusts of 60 to 80 km/h were recorded throughout the day.

Fear ourselves more than terrorism
Look into their eyes. See the despair.Gaze at their faces. Read the misery and fear.Talk to them.Hear their countless stories of the loss of
family members, homes, and entire life-styles.
When you’ve done that, then tell Syrian and Iraqi refugees, “Stay away, you’re not welcome in Canada.”
Tell them that they’re not fleeing terror, but attempting to import it here.
Oh, but that’s the great thing about direct-ing national policy on refugees via social media. None of the above is required. All that’s needed is an appallingly misinformed, or selfish, tunnel-visioned view of the world, and the short time it takes to spew it onto Facebook or a website.
Some of the public dialogue in this country
surrounding the Syrian refugee debate, par-ticularly in the wake of the horror in Paris, turns my stomach almost as much as the terror attacks themselves.
I refer to the near-hysteria and fear-mon-gering about importing ISIS terrorism via the Liberals’ pre-election promise to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by year’s end.
Let’s consider some actual facts:This is not a plan to take 25,000 people off
the bloody battlefields of Syria, or pluck them out of Mediterranean waters, and fly them directly into Canada – although some people talk like that’s what is going to happen.
There are literally millions of people sitting in vast camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Germany and elsewhere, wait-ing – some for years – for somewhere, any-where, to go. Many have registered with the UN, and all can be screened.
They are women, and children – and yes, men – who are desperate to start a new life, free of constant fear and destruction and slaughter.
If the pitiful refugees I met covering Canadian relief efforts in Jordan and Lebanon just two years ago were hard-core terrorists, just waiting for an opportunity to come to Canada to wreak havoc, they were the best
actors on the planet ... thousands of them.Let me suggest something that I con-
sider far more frightening than a bunch of people carrying their children on their shoulders, and their worldly possessions in plastic bags.
And that’s the virtual certainty that ISIS
or terrorists of their ilk are already here. They came here long ago, and are waiting for the signal to launch their attacks in our cities. Or, they are homegrown Canadian citizens who signed on to the fundamen-talist insanity of their own volition.
Just as worrisome, if not more, are the yet-to-be jihadis – the ones ISIS and al-Qaeda can reach via the Internet. The same social media and websites that give the “build-a-wall-and-lock-us-in” types
the means to rant beyond their coffee cups also provide the conduit through which terrorism flows across borders and past all the security checks in the world.
If you must be afraid, fear that. Also be afraid that terrorism will achieve one of its objectives – to cultivate paranoia and hatred around the world, because that spawns more recruits.
Be most afraid, though, of a country that turns away from its history as a gener-ous, compassionate nation, to one that is seized by fear itself, which tramples on a global vision, and turns inward to a self-serving, self-protectionist agenda.
That won’t happen, though. And we will not leave our own behind, as some sug-gest. Governments spend billions helping citizens who need assistance. Can more be done? Of course. Can we afford it? Of course. It is a matter of political will and planning.
Canada has done so for generations which, never forget, are composed of mil-lions of immigrants, and refugees, of myr-iad nationalities and many beliefs.
Before we utter words like stay away, we must remember who we are and how we got here.
The concern about a likely fake Syrian passport found near the body of an ISIS assailant in Paris has prompted more than a dozen U.S. governors to state they won’t accept Syrian refugees. Even in Canada, at least one premier is calling on the federal government to suspend plans to resettle 25,000 refugees by the end of the year because of security con-cerns.
Thankfully, here in BC., saner heads are prevailing.
As the province where the family of drowned Syrian toddler Alan Kurdi lives, it’s good to see that humanitarian aims trump fear-mongering.
It was not fake passports that kept the young Kurdi’s family from reaching Canada but a lack of documentation, a situation that has thankfully been resolved with Canadian recognition of Syrians living in refugee camps.
The truth is the federal government’s 25,000 resettlement project is really an aspirational goal. It is unlikely many
people can be relocated here by the end of 2015, even with the best of intentions. Canada will continue to do security checks, as it always has, and the flow of refugees will require significant pro-cessing, as they always do, and this takes time.
For example, the latest report from Immigrant Services Society of BC puts forth a five-phase process for screen-ing refugees, with information gathered overseas and here in Canada. And de-pending on individual circumstances, the first Syrian refugees to arrive under this humanitarian operation are not ex-pected until early December.
Once here, there are groups work-ing with refugees, including community services, churches, other relief and char-ity organizations, as well as volunteer programs.
Are there issues associated with ac-cepting thousands of refugees, such as housing and services? Yes.
Are they solvable? Certainly.
Trumping fear-mongering

New deputy chief for APDA swearing-in ceremony for the Abbotsford Police
Department’s (APD) new deputy chief constable took place Tuesday.
Mike Serr will be responsible for the administration division of the APD. Serr shares the title of deputy chief with Dave Schmirler, who was appointed to the posi-tion over a year ago and is in charge of the APD’s operations division. The two replace former deputy chiefs Len Goerke, who was named chief of the West Vancouver Police Department, and Rick Lucy, who retired after 33 years with the APD.
Serr began his policing career with the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) in 1990 after obtaining a bachelor of arts degree in criminology at Simon Fraser University.
He recently completed the Canadian Police College’s executive development program and crit-ical incident commanders’ courses as well as the Institute for Strategic International Studies program of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police.
The latter took him to Norway and Denmark to study ways for improving outcomes for people with mental illnesses. Over the past 25 years, Serr’s
assignments with the VPD have included Strike Force, the Major Crime Section, the Integrated Gang Task Force, and the BC Municipal Undercover Program.
Serr is active nationally in committee work and is currently the chairperson on the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police’s drug abuse committee and co-chair of the National Working Group on Undercover Operations.
He was also on the Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Tier Committee and the Major City Chiefs Intelligence Commanders Group.
Serr is the recipient of Chief Constable Commendations from both the VPD and APD. He is also the recipient of the Lieutenant Governor’s Meritorious Service Award.
Serr and his wife Kirsten have been married for 24 years and have two children.

An Abbotsford man was scheduled to un-dergo brain surgery yesterday (Tuesday) in Los Angeles with hopes of stopping the blinding headaches that have plagued him for the past 20 years.
Tom Kettering and his wife Christina are hoping that a $250,000 procedure will be life-changing.
To this end, they have sold their busi-ness interests and heavy equipment, put their home up for sale and taken out a major bank loan. They have also been supported by donations of almost $40,000 to a crowd-funding website in Tom’s name.
The surgery is not funded by the Canadian medical plan, and there isn’t a neurosurgeon in
the country who per-forms this surgical pro-cedure.
The couple even had to pay out of their own pocket for an MRI at the private False Creek medical facility, due to the public waiting list. That scan found what they believe to be the
cause of Tom’s mi-graines – a cystic tumor on his pineal gland deep inside his brain.
“I haven’t been able to work at all for the past three years,” Tom told Black Press on Friday.
“I’ve been prescribed the highest narcotics
but it doesn’t faze my headaches.”
Christina said she was grateful in a sense that narcotics didn’t work as she didn’t want addiction to be-come a problem either.
However, she said the symptoms of “shaking, twitching,

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
sometimes his face going numb and slurring” have become more than anyone can cope with.
“Tom has suffered with mi-graines for most of his life but they have become increasingly worse over the past 10 years and are now daily and completely debilitating,” said Christina.
“Tom says all the time that he feels he is living a slow death. The constant pain has taken away any quality of life possible and there are many days that the thought of not living at all would be easier than him hav-ing to live with this pain. So for us, as frustrating as it is that our medical system will not cover the cost of surgery, not getting it done is just not an option. There is too much life left to live to watch Tom suffer like this anymore.
“So surgery is booked for November and we will just have to deal with the financial con-sequences of it as best we can. I would do and give up everything to see him healthy and happy again,” said Christina.
For the past six years the cou-ple have tried different thera-pies and clinics, including the Mayo Clinic, without success.
“Thousands and thousands of dollars were spent on naturo-path, chiro, massage, acupunc-ture, botox, hyperbaric chamber treatments, myofascial release
treatments, trigger point injec-tions … You name it, we tried it,” said Christina.
Further research by the couple led them to a Calgary universi-ty student, Kristina Waldmann, who suffered identical symp-toms as Tom does, but has found the answer.
“I was in pain all the time, severe headaches all the time, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, vi-sual problems. I had to stop going to school, to work, to my volunteer position,” she told CBC News recently.
After four years of trying to go through the Canadian system, her parents re-mortgaged their home and held fundraisers to pay for the procedure in the U.S.
Waldmann’s surgery was done at a Texas hospital in March.
“As soon as I woke up, the visual symptoms were gone. Months later, I have my life back,” she says.
Armed with this information, Tom and Christina explored their options and found that there were only two neurosur-geons in the U.S. who enter the skull and remove the cysts. And their success rate is high. More than a dozen Canadians have had this procedure performed and all of them no longer suffer from the symptoms.
“We have no other choice,” said Christina. “We had to raise the money to do this; how
could we not try?”B.C.’s Ministry of Health will
cover the cost of the surgery — in or out of the country — but only if it is recommended by a Canadian neurosurgeon.
However, Kettering never saw a neurosurgeon. He had to wait two years to see a neurologist and has not been able to get an appointment to see a neu-rosurgeon.
Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas visited the couple on Thursday and said he would try to make a case for coverage by the B.C. Medical Services Plan in Victoria, but could make no promises.
“I appreciate that he’s going to go to bat for us,” said Christina.
Dr. Hrayr Shahinian was scheduled to perform Kettering’s surgery yesterday (Nov. 17) in Los Angeles at the Mission Community Hospital.
A study recently published in the medical journal of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons found more than a year after sur-gery, 94 per cent of patients who had this kind of cyst were either pain-free or had an im-provement in their symptoms.

Robbery chargesA suspect in three robberies that occurred last
Tuesday within 10 hours has been arrested by the Abbotsford Police Department.
Adam John Taylor, 27, was arrested Thursday at 4:45 p.m. and has been charged with three counts of robbery and one count of assault with a weapon.
The three robberies took place Nov. 10 at 2:15 p.m. at a business in the 2600 block of Gladys Avenue, at 4:30 p.m. at a restaurant in the 31200 block of Maclure Road and that evening at a restaurant in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way.
In one of the incidents, the suspect deployed some bear spray. The suspect was caught on video, and identification was assisted because of a distinctive tattoo on the back of the man’s neck.

A 29-year-old Abbotsford man who survived the battle-fields of Afghanistan is now in hospital fighting for his life after being hit by a pickup truck on 232 Street in Langley last Thursday evening.
Just before 5 p.m., newlywed John Lowe was on his way to visit his grandmother in Langley in his old pick-up truck – a vehicle that was a replacement for his other old Dodge, which had recently been stolen. The truck doesn’t have a work-ing gas gauge, so Lowe unwittingly ran out of gas while taking the 232 Street exit.
There was a torrential downpour at the time.
According to the GoFundMe page “John Lowe’s Recovery Fund,” he phoned his dad, Ray, who said he would pick up a gas can and meet him at the truck. When his dad arrived, there was no one in the truck, but he did see a large contingent of emergen-cy vehicles and lights flashing closer to the Chevron gas station.
According to Langley RCMP, it appears Lowe was walking to the gas station when he was struck crossing the road.
He was hit by a one-tonne GMC Sierra truck travelling north on 232 at 72 Avenue. The driv-er of the truck stopped immediately and tried to help.
Lowe suffered multi-ple injuries, including internal bleeding, two fractures in his left arm, several broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and kidney, and a bruised aorta. He also suffered a concussion.
He underwent sur-gery on the weekend and remains in Royal Columbian Hospital’s intensive care unit in
critical but stable con-dition. He is unable to have visitors at this time.
In just two days, more than $6,700 has been raised for the young couple who “don’t have a big income stream.”
Lowe is a member of, and advocate for, Wounded Warriors of Canada and has spoken out publicly about his own experience with post-traumatic stress disorder and about the culture of silence that exists in the military surrounding the condi-tion.
In 2013 and 2014, he completed the veter-ans’ Big Bike Ride from Paris to London, rais-ing $4,000 for Wounded Warriors. His efforts were featured in the Cloverdale Reporter last year. He was born and raised there and recent-ly moved to Abbotsford.
Lowe and his mother, Shere, were part of a fundraiser for Wounded Warriors, put on by the Langley Rotary Club last fall.
Police are urging any-one who witnessed Thursday’s crash to call them.
Anyone with infor-mation is asked to call RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Cyclist hurt in truck
collisionA cyclist injured in a
collision with a vehicle on Saturday morning in Abbotsford will likely be issued tickets under the Motor Vehicle Act.
Abbotsford Police Const. Paul Walker said police are recommend-ing that the 39-year-old woman be ticketed for failing to wear a helmet and for failing to signal for a left-hand turn.
The incident occurred just after 6 a.m. in the area of South Fraser Way and Montrose Avenue.
Walker said both the woman and the driv-er of a pickup truck were heading east along South Fraser Way when it appears that the cyclist veered in front of the driver to make a left turn on to Montrose.
The woman was taken to hospital with leg injuries.
The driver remained on the scene and has co-operated with po-lice.
Const. Paul Walker cautioned pedestrians, cyclists and drivers to be extra vigilant at this time of year, when darkness, wet roads and the pooling of water heighten the risk of accidents.
“We continue to stress the importance of being visible on the roadways – from wear-ing reflective gear as a cyclist, to flashing lights on your bicycle,” he said.
Walker reminds driv-ers to use extra caution when approaching in-tersections and cross-walks and to “prepare for the unknown.”
“Prepare for the pe-destrian to cross the road or to share the road with a cyclist,” he said.

Fountainview Academy has recently released a new DVD – God So Loved the World: Winter. This small school has been training students to sing and play for the glory of God for the past 37 years. With emphasis on music, each student is a part of the orchestra, choir, or both, and spends time practicing and nearly every day.
The school also has a vigorous work program, in which students gain prac-tical experience in cooking, cleaning, arranging music, editing videos, and tending the orchards and large carrot farm, which produces approximately 1 million pounds of carrots per year.
Fountainview’s Orchestra & Sing-ers have traveled across the continent
and around the world. During one Christmas concert last year, a student emcee asked those in the audience to write down prayer or information requests on a small card. As one man left the concert, he handed his card to one of the students in the lobby, and the student felt pressed to read the card. It read: “I’m struggling fi nancially, my
family is falling apart. I can’t live like this anymore.” Immediately the student turned around and ran in the direction the man had gone, calling him. “Is there anything I can pray with you about be-fore you leave?” she asked. Like a dam bursting, he voiced his long-held silent trials. His real question was: “Why would God care about me?”
Admission is FREE Tickets required as seating is limited.
Carpooling is recommended.
As the season of Christmas draws near, come and be blessed by your favourite carols, folk tunes and familiar melodies.

‘Heartless’ thief steals poppy box
Incident occurred on Remembrance Day
As thousands were paying tribute to Canada’s war dead at Remembrance Day services in Abbotsford and beyond, police say a thief was stealing a poppy box at a local business.
Abbotsford Police Const. Paul Walker said police received a call of a theft in prog-ress from a gas station at the corner of Sumas Way and Marshall Road around 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
Footage from the gas station shows a Caucasian man in his 20s, wearing a red and white jacket and black toque, entering a gas station and, when the attendant wasn’t look-
ing, stealing a poppy box.
Walker said the act showed the thief was a “selfless, heartless in-dividual who lacks re-spect.”
It wasn’t the only theft of a poppy donation box. On Nov. 8 at 12:30 a.m., another one was stolen from a business in the 32700 block of George Ferguson Way. The sus-pect was described as Caucasian and in his 20s. He wore black pants, a white hoodie and a blue toque.
Anyone with informa-tion about the crimes is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225, or by text at 222973 (abbypd).
The suspect grabs a poppy box inside a gas station on Remembrance Day. Submitted photo

Trio of lost hikers found safe
Search crews sent out to Sumas Mountain
Three people were rescued Saturday night after becoming lost on Sumas Mountain.
Just before 5 p.m. Central Fraser Valley Search and Rescue was called out to help locate three missing hikers who had become disoriented as darkness fell.
A staging area was established in the Batt Road area.
Through a cellphone, the hikers were able to give searchers their rough coordinates. They had been walking in the Chadsey Lake area on the upper south side of the mountain.
Searchers reached the three just after 6 p.m. and by 7:30 they were safely back at the search base camp – wet and cold, but OK.
Search officials remind people heading outdoors to plan for early darkness, and cold, wet weather. Wear or carry appropriate clothing, and have a flashlight and other basic supplies should the un-expected occur.

Dairy plant
allegedlydischarged
harmfulsubstance
Saputo to stand trial in Sept. 2016
Vikki HOPESAbbotsford News
A dairy company has been charged with violating the Federal Fisheries Act at its plant in Abbotsford.
Saputo Foods Ltd. has locations around the world, including a plant on Riverside Road in Abbotsford that distributes products under the Dairyland label. The local plant now faces six charges of “de-positing a deleterious (harmful) substance.”
The charges first came up in Abbotsford provin-cial court on Nov. 2, but were laid on June 2. The investigation was conducted by Environment Canada and goes to trial next September.
S p o k e s p e r o n Natalie Huneault said she could not reveal any of the cir-cumstances behind the charges. “As the matter is still before the courts, it would be inappropriate to provide further com-ment at this time,” she said. A spokes-person for Saputo also said she could not comment, due to the charges being be-fore the courts.
The matter has been set for trial on Sept. 19, 2016.
Saputo’s website states it is the the largest cheese man-ufacturer in Canada.
New real estate forecasts predict Lower Mainland housing prices will continue their ascent to new highs over the next two years.
Central 1 Credit Union projects resale median residential prices of Greater Vancouver homes will climb 6.1 per cent in 2016 and 3.8 per cent in 2017.
Senior economist Bryan Yu says detached houses are becoming “luxury” real estate as “prices that far outpace income affordability fundamentals” increasingly put them out of reach of large portions of the population.
He estimates detached house prices will continue to run up faster – 10 per cent in 2016 and 6.6 per cent in 2017.
Although there may be “some froth” in detached house prices, Yu expects the growing price gap between houses and condos – now at a record $525,000 in Metro – will continue to widen.
That widening price gap will be “difficult if not impossible to bridge” for prospective new buyers and recent condo owners and will effectively be the new norm.
“In previous years, the housing ladder meant starting in a condo and transitioning to a detached home,” Yu said. “That will no longer be the trend. For most families, the housing ladder will lead from one multi-family unit to another.”
Increasingly scarce land is a reality of the region’s geography that’s hemmed in by the ocean, moun-tains, U.S. border and the Agricultural Land Reserve, he said.
His report says the trend of double-digit price gains shows little sign of stopping given a severe shortage of inventory in Metro Vancouver and lim-ited land availability for low-density construction.
“Price momentum has also spilled into the neigh-bouring Fraser Valley area,” Yu said.
Continued record low interest rates and eco-nomic and job growth will continue to drive sales and further price momentum in Greater Vancouver through 2016, he added.
The B.C. Real Estate Association (BCREA) projects the Greater Vancouver market will see a 4.5 per cent increase in the average selling price for a residen-tial home to $925,000 in 2016. That average, which blends condos, townhomes and detached houses all together, is expected to reach $885,000 in 2015, up
8.9 per cent from $812,652 in 2014.In the Fraser Valley, the average residential price
is projected to have climbed 9.7 per cent to $568,000 this year, up from about $518,000 in 2014, and it’s projected to gain four per cent to $591,000 in 2016.
Chilliwack and district prices are estimated by BCREA to be up 6.9 per cent to $330,000 and project-ed to gain 1.2 per cent in 2016 to $334,000.
Many consumers have been forced to alter their housing expectations, especially near the urban core, the BCREA report says.
It notes City of Vancouver detached houses make up just five per cent of the total housing stock in Metro Vancouver and those house prices should not be used as a benchmark for affordability in the region.
And the report argues many detached houses are really in effect duplexes, triplexes or fourplexes “as a result of the exploding number of accessory suites.”

A home away from home dedicated to caring for children who live with complex healthcare needs.
Instruction to protect children from “cyberbully-ing” should be included in B.C.’s new school curric-ulum, according to a new report from the province’s independent child welfare and privacy officers.
The B.C. government’s school anti-bullying pro-gram was put in place in June 2012. Four months later, 15-year-old Amanda Todd posted a video of her online treatment before she killed herself at her Port Coquitlam home, putting an international face on the dangers faced by young people socializing online.
In 2013, Nova Scotia teen Rehtaeh Parsons was also driven to suicide after explicit pictures of her were circulated on social media. Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond and Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham surveyed the laws and strategies in place inside and outside B.C. since then.
“The circumstances leading to the deaths of these two young women highlight the significant pain and suffering young people can endure when they are faced with repeated cruel treatment by their peers through online means,” Denham and Turpel-Lafond concluded.
Their report, presented Friday to the B.C. gov-ernment, calls for more measures in schools in addition to the ERASE (Expect Respect And a Safe Education) strategy put in place in 2012. That strat-egy provides for anonymous reporting by students or parents of bullying, either online or in person.
The report calls for the education ministry to “en-sure that developmentally appropriate learning ob-
jectives about cyberbullying and digital citizenship be included in the provincial school curriculum and delivered to all school-age children as soon as possible.”
Education Minister Mike Bernier said Friday the new school curriculum, which began implementa-tion this fall, already includes “a focus on bullying behaviour and discrimination starting in Grade 4.”
Bernier said in a statement the ministry has developed resources for teachers, with course ob-jectives for different grades “about cyberbullying, internet safety, privacy and security, relationships and communication.”
Denham and Turpel-Lafond cite research showing that 99 per cent of young people have online access outside of school, and that by Grade 11, more than half sleep with their phones nearby so they can exchange messages at night. They caution against parental efforts to monitor young people’s commu-nications around the clock, or to cut off their access.

The Rotary Club of Abbotsford contributed $33,268 to the Starfish Pack Program.Submitted
The Rotary Club of Abbotsford recently pre-sented the Abbotsford Food Bank with a cheque for $33,268 in support of the Starfish Pack Program.
The club has been working with the Abbotsford Community Services Food Bank to help feed hungry chil-dren and families since the spring of 2013. The Starfish program was designed to bridge ex-isting in-school break-fast and lunch programs with the absence of food for the students over weekends.
As a result of Abbotsford Rotary’s leadership and innova-tion, many other B.C. communities have im-plemented the Starfish Pack Program. National media attention on the program has resulted in inquiries from outside B.C. as other commu-nities search for ways to address local child hunger.
This program has in-spired the Abbotsford community to get in-volved and has over 50 local businesses, service clubs and faith groups involved. A full list of community partners can be found at star-fishpack.com/abbots-ford-partners
During the presenta-tion, Jaslyne Sunday, a local third-year Pacific Summit College stu-dent, was introduced. She is being funded by the Abbotsford Rotary Club as the first “Starfish Intern.”
The pilot project cre-ated in partnership with the Abbotsford Food Bank will see the Rotary Club provide funds for three years to local post-sec-ondary students study-ing in the areas of social service and non-profit management and oppor-tunity to assist and learn from the Starfish Pack Program while earning academic credits.
Donors and volun-teers are still required to meet the need locally. To donate, get involved or support the Starfish Pack Program, visit starfish-pack.com.

Royal City Youth Ballet presents its 27th season of The Nutcracker at the
Abbotsford Arts Centre (2329 Crescent Way) on Sunday, Nov. 22.
This year, there will be two performances – at 1 and 4 p.m.
The production fea-tures a cast of more than 100 dancers under the direction of Dolores Kirkwood.
Performing to Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s music, this tradition-al ballet has sets de-signed by Jan Claude Olivier and costumes by Chris Sinosich.
There are magi-cal soldiers, mice, a Sugar Plum Fairy, and a growing Christmas tree, along with snowflakes, the Snow King and Queen, Waltz of the Flowers, and other favourites.
Among the cast is Abbotsford dancer Amalie Holmsen-Wong, 11, who plays the roles of party girl, soldier and little Arabian.
She has been a cast member of the Nutcracker for the last four years. The production is a fam-ily event for her, as her dad has been a member of the back-stage crew over the past years.
Tickets are avail-able online at theact-mapleridge.org or by calling 604-476-2787.

A lot of times I get asked ‘Where are the Buyers coming from these days?’ Well we hear anecdotes that perhaps many of the Buyers in Vancouver & Richmond are from mainland China. But here in Abbotsford, this year almost more than any in the past 10 years, there are many people moving into our area from across Canada again, whether they’re from Ontario or the Prairies or the Maritimes. Our economy is strong and we live in a beautiful, highly sought after area. So Real Estate has been selling in almost record numbers this year. If you’d like more specifi cs for your situation just give me a call or send me a text or email.

JULY 21-24Rise above. Reach beyond.
On Thursday, November 5 the Abbotsford 2016 BC Summer Games Society held a Key Volunteer
Rally. More than 125 volunteers, who will form the leadership team for the Games, met for the fi rst time as a group. The rally provided an opportunity for the team to celebrate the work that has already been done, to make connections with other team members, and to look ahead to next summer.Abbotsford 2016 BC Summer Games president, Steve Carlton, introduced the team and thanked them for the commitment they are making to the success of these Games. If the excitement and energy in the room was any indication of what to expect next July 21 to 24, then the 2700 athletes coming to Abbotsford are in for something very special.
At the rally, the team was also introduced to Taunya Geelhoed who was recently hired as the Operations Manager for the BC Summer Games. Taunya comes with great deal of experience in organizing sporting events and will provide an important role in supporting the Key Volunteers. Taunya will be based out of the Summer Games offi ce at Rick Hansen Secondary School and can be reached at 604.870.4263.Besides the leadership team, the Abbotsford 2016 BC Summer Games will be looking for more than 3000 other volunteers. Among many other positions, the Games will need cooks and servers, drivers, bus guides, hosts, accommodation attendants, and security and medical personnel. There is a role for anyone interested in helping with the Games. Volunteers can register online at www.bcgames.org.

Operation Red Nose kicked off its 20th annual campaign in Abbotsford on Friday.
Peter Fassbender, the
Minister Responsible for TransLink; ICBC program manag-er Aileen Shibata; Abbotsford acting mayor Coun. Patricia Ross; MLA Darryl
Plecas; Operation Red Nose executive direc-tor Guylaine Beaupré; and Rudy the Reindeer all made appearanc-es during the event at Sevenoaks shopping centre.
From Nov. 27 to Dec. 31, more than 50,000 citizens hit the road to help provide peo-ple with an addi-
tional option to get home safe and avoid drinking and driving. Abbotsford is one of 13 communities in B.C. to receive the service.
The 2015 campaign also marks an import-ant chapter in the his-tory of Operation Red Nose, since the orga-nization will reach the milestone of two mil-
lion rides on Nov. 28.That number rep-
resents the number of Canadians who have made the responsible decision to plan a safe ride by calling upon the Operation Red Nose service to get home safe.
“We know how much this program helps to keep our roads safe during the holidays,” Shbata said.
In each of the com-munities where the organization offers its free safe ride ser-vice, citizens mobilize themselves to volun-teer one night or more during the holiday season in order to help make their communi-ty safer while helping raise funds for local youth programs.
Last year, $1.5 mil-lion was raised in cli-ent donations, and turned over to youth or amateur sports or-ganizations.
For more information on the local campaign, visit facebook.com/O p e ra t i o n R e d N o s e AbbotsfordMission.

Panthers post big playoff win
The Abbotsford Panthers are the last local team left stand-ing after round one of the BC high school football playoffs.
The Panthers beat the Pitt Meadows Marauders 57-8, in a game that was decided very early.
R u n n i n g back Richard T s h i m p a k a scored his first of three touchdowns to open the scoring and the Panthers had a 29-0 lead by the second quar-ter.
Also re-c o r d i n g touchdowns were: Chase C l a y p o o l , A n t h o n y P h a n , Manny Jhally, Reese Morrison and Tanner Marquardt. Claypool also took some reps at quarterback, throw-ing two touchdowns. Regular starting quar-terback John Madigan also threw for a pair of scores.
Panthers head coach Jay Fujimura said his team took
care of business.“We did what we
were expected to do,” he said. “We had an all-around good start and were able to run the ball well. We wanted to work on our ground game and try out a few new packages, and every-
thing went according to plan.”
Fujimura said it has been a great ride for the team and this year’s graduating class.
“This class has worked hard and have been togeth-er since Grade 9,” he said. “And it’s quite a group.”
He pointed out that the Panthers received several year-end AA division awards in-cluding: Claypool (most valuable play-er) , Tshimpaka (top running back), Michael Sabourin (top linebacker), Morrison (top defensive back),
M a d i g a n (top quarter-back), James Parker (top kicker), and Clifford Jesse (top offen-sive lines-man).
T h e P a n t h e r s now head to Nanaimo this week-end to bat-tle the John B a r s b y B u l l d o g s , who dis-posed of the Moscrop P a n t h e r s 77-0 on
Saturday. Fujimura said it will be a battle.
“It’s going to be a tough game,” he said. “They’re a bigger team and they grind. It’s going to be close.”
The Bulldogs posted a 4-0 record during the regular season, and only allowed 27

CBC men fall to Island teamsWomen split opening homestand, men lose two
The CBC Bearcats men’s basketball team drew even with the top-ranked club in the country early in the third quarter on Saturday, but it all fell apart from there.
The VIU Mariners shut the door in the third and fourth quar-ter, outscoring CBC by 14 to earn a 94-75 win in Abbotsford on Saturday.
Despite the loss, Bearcats head coach Matthew Boulton said he liked his team’s ef-fort.
“I felt pretty good about it but we defi-nitely got some cold shooting in the sec-ond half,” he said. “Obviously our size is an issue, but the big one for us today was the 29 points they got off of our turnovers. I feel like we were the cause of our own loss.”
After a slow start to the game, the Bearcats caught fire in the second quar-ter and outscored the Mariners 26-19. CBC guard Kevin Davis was two assists away from a triple-double, with 17 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists. Si Woo Youn added 16 points, with Elijah Calhoun and Jamie Konrad contributing 13 points apiece.
Boulton said the 20 turnovers are what killed the Bearcats momentum.
“They changed up their defence in the second half and were pressing us a bit,” he said. “We had 11 turn-overs in the second half – and not good turnovers. Some were at centre court where they could just run in lay-ups. It makes it difficult to stay com-petitive if we’re just handing them lay-ups.”
The Bearcats also lost to the Camosun Chargers 81-60 on Friday. CBC fell apart in the second half, shooting just 25 per cent. Boulton said the team got into foul trouble, and couldn’t get back into the game. The Bearcats were out-rebounded 41-25 by Camosun.
Davis had anoth-
er strong game, with 15 points, seven as-sists and six steals. Umbori Watson added 14 points, and Jamie Konrad scored 11.
The loss drops CBC to a record of one win and four losses, and they sit in sixth place in the Pacwest.
It was a better week-end for the women’s team, as they split the pair of games against the Island teams.
CBC rode a 26-16 first quarter to a 69-58 win over Camosun on Friday. Guard Mandy Van Delden led the way with 21 points, four rebounds and four steals. The Bearcats also got big games from Harvina Kaler (16 points, seven rebounds and seven steals) and Sarah Rozendal (13 points and six rebounds).
A cold third quar-
ter then sunk the Bearcats on Saturday, as they only managed seven points, and fell 80-49 to the Mariners.
VIU shot 48 per cent from the field in the second half to secure the win, while the Bearcats only shot 28 per cent for the game.
Deanna Esau had a strong game for CBC, with 14 points and nine rebounds. Three-point shooting was off for Bearcats, with the team only making five of 29 for the game.
The women sit in fifth place in the Pacwest, with a record of two wins and three losses.
The teams continue the home stand this week, with Douglas College coming to Abbotsford on Friday and Capilano on Saturday.
Tip-off for the games is 6 p.m. for the women and 8 p.m. for the men on Friday, and 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Pilots earn overtime winThe Abbotsford
Pilots almost let one slip away on Friday, but saved the game in overtime against the Ridge Meadows Flames.
Abbotsford saw a third-period two-goal lead vanish, as the Flames came back from a 4-2 deficit to send the game to overtime with just over a minute left in the final frame.
Cole Methorst then potted the game win-ner at 4:50 of overtime to give the Pilots the two points.
Also scoring for the Pilots were: Devon Becker, Dryden Michaud and Jackson
Waniek (two). Methorst (four), Michaud (three), Waniek and Becker all had multi-point nights for the Pilots.
Goalie Jacob Crawford made 40 saves in the win, and neither team connected on a power play goal.
Abbotsford travelled
to North Vancouver on Saturday to play the Wolf Pack, and came up short against the defending Pacific Junior Hockey League cham-pions.
The Pilots fell 3-0, and only managed to muster 16 shots. After a scoreless first peri-
od, North Vancouver added goals early in the second and third periods, before scoring an empty netter in the game’s final minutes. Abbotsford was zero for five on the power play, but Crawford was solid in the loss, making 24 saves.
The pair of games keeps the Pilots en-trenched in second place in the Harold Brittain conference, with a record of 13 wins, seven losses and one overtime loss.
Abbotsford next hits the road on Thursday to face the Langley Knights, and then host the Wolf Pack on Friday. Face-off is set for 7:30 p.m at the MSA Arena.

points all year.In AAA action,
Friday was the end of the line for the W.J. Mouat Hawks. They fell 28-6 to the Notre Dame Jugglers at home and are done for 2015.
The Hawks defence kept the game close in the first half, as Mouat only trailed 13-0. Notre Dame had threatened to score majors on two drives, but the Hawks de-fence forced them to settle for field goals.
The offence came to life in the second half when Elijah Falconer caught a touchdown. but the Jugglers’ run-ning game was too much for Mouat.
“It was a pret-ty frustrating game and we didn’t seem to catch any breaks,” said Mouat head coach Travis Bell. “It was a physical game and we were in it but we didn’t capitalize on our opportunities. This was our most physical game our defence has played all year, we knew they were going to run the ball, but I was happy with our physicality.”
Bell said that, de-spite Notre Dame’s record of one win and four losses, he knew it would be a tough game.
“They play in a dif-ferent conference than us and you can’t really go by records. We were expecting to win but nothing in AAA is going to be easy. They were able to ground and pound the ball and they cap-italized.”
It was Bell’s first year behind the bench for the Hawks, and he said he will always remember the graduating players.
“I’ll remember the Grade 12s that played four hard years for us,” he said. “The Dion Pellerins and the Alex Johnsons – the guys that stuck it out and did the pro-gram proud.”
Running back Pellerin and wide re-ceiver Elijah Falconer were also named to the AAA East All-Conference team for their efforts during the regular season.
“Those guys both bought into the pro-
gram and it paid div-idends for them,” he said. “I couldn’t be happier for them.”
He said the poten-tial is there for sever-al graduating Hawks players to continue playing football next year at the post-sec-ondary level, with some possibly earn-ing scholarships.
Bell said the pieces are there next year to have a strong run.
“There are a lot of pieces here and we’re learning on the fly, we hope to be better next year.”
Over in Kamloops, the season also ended for the Robert Bateman Secondary Timberwolves, who lost 19-0 to the Prince George Secondary Polars on Friday.
The Timberwolves managed only 90 yards offence in the loss, and allowed 15 quarterback sacks.
Bateman staged a year-end turnaround, winning its final two games in order to qualify for the post-season.-

Hawks running back Dion Pellerin shakes off a Notre Dame defender during playoff action on Friday.
The UFV Cascades men’s basketball team continued its strong early start to the Canada West season, sweeping the MacEwan Griffins at home on Friday and Saturday.
An injury to Cascades forward Mark Johnson on Friday shook things up in the UFV rotation, but the bench stepped up to lead the team to a 74-64 win.
Marcus Morgan scored a career-high 17 points, and guard Kevon Parchment added 17 points and nine re-bounds. The Cascades had a four-point lead at the half, and took over in the third quarter by outscoring MacEwan 24-14. The bench con-tributed with 31 points overall.
The clubs met again on Saturday, and UFV’s offence was on full display. The Cascades shot 49 per cent and outscored the Griffins 97-56. A balanced attack saw five players reach
double digits, and head coach Adam Friesen said his team stepped up in the absence of starters Johnson and Nate Brown.
“It started with lead-ership from our core guys … recognizing that hey, life just got a little bit tougher due to inju-ry,” he said. “We trusted everyone on the team, we spaced the floor, we
shared the basketball. We knew we had to play with pace and move the basketball, and make the simple play. A lot of guys got a lot of good opportunities out of it, and it happened today that we shot the ball well.”
Brandon Burke (20 points, nine rebounds), Parchment (16 points, nine rebounds, five
assists and Navjot Bains (16 points, eight rebounds) were key contributors for UFV. Morgan (14) and Vijay Dhillon (12) also broke double digits in points, and Matt Cooley added six points, eight re-bounds and two blocks.
The Cascades also out-rebounded the Griffins 50-35, and com-mitted only eight turn-overs. UFV is now 4-0 and are tied for first place in the Explorer division with the TWU Spartans.
The women’s team earned a split, beating the Griffins 72-61 on Friday, but falling 63-59 on Saturday.
Defence was key to Friday’s win, as the Cascades held MacEwan to just 33 per cent shooting.
Kayli Sartori led the way with 25 points, nine rebounds and three blocks, with Shayna Cameron add-ing 18 points and eight rebounds. Sydney Williams (12) and Taylor Claggett (11) also reached double digits.
“I’m proud of the girls for how they exe-cuted the game plan,” said head coach Al Tuchscherer after Friday’s win. “They got gritty on at the defen-sive end of the floor and played hard, and played offence how we wanted to play.”
Saturday’s game was tied at 59 with less than a minute to go, but the Griffins scored on the ensuing possession and Sartori was called for travelling when the Cascades got the ball back. UFV quickly fouled but the Griffins made both of their free throws and time ran out for the Cascades.
Sartori had a dou-ble-double, with 24 points and 11 re-bounds, while Williams added 16 points and five rebounds.
The women now have a record of two wins and two losses, and sit fourth in their division.
The teams hit the road for the remain-der of the calendar year, starting on Friday when they travel to Prince George for a pair of games against the UNBC Timberwolves.

Tributes to family and fr iends
CODEHelen (Tkachuk)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Helen Code on 14 November 2015 at the Christine Morrison Hospice.
Helen was predeceased by her husband of 44 years, Verne, her daughter, Dianne, and her granddaughter, Heather. She leaves to mourn her son, Craig (Catherine) and his daughters, Carmen and Caitlin, her brother, Dan (Vi), her sister, Susan, her son-in-law, Gordie, her granddaughter, Kris (Jason), her great-grand-children, Melissa, Duncan, and Adam, and her great-great-granddaughter, Elly.
Helen was born in Hafford, Saskatchewan in 1927, to Nick and Belle Tkachuk. A good student and an avid reader, she headed to Normal School in Saskatoon to begin teacher training in 1944. Given the nature of prairie classrooms, she taught multiple grades in one class. In her fi rst assignment, as a 17 year old rookie, she had one student who was 16! He continued to visit over the course of her lifetime. Many of her students felt such a connection. She enjoyed a career that spanned more than 40 years. During this time she was very proud to have completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Education from UBC. She nurtured this love for higher learning in her descendants.
Helen and Verne moved their young family to Abbotsford in the spring of 1963. Together they worked the land, raised a variety of livestock, and produced honey on their one acre parcel on Huntington Road. As was her wish, Helen was able to live in her home until the last few weeks of her life.
Helen had strong ties to the Code family farm near Red Deer, Alberta. Upon the passing of her husband, she became the matriarch for a pioneering family dynasty that has roots back to the 1890s. She was a devoted steward of this legacy.
A child of the Depression, coming from a family of limited means, fi nancial independence was very important to Helen. She was generous in sharing her resources to allow family members to attend school, put down payments on homes, and take care of their responsibilities.
Helen was a kind and loving person who never forgot a special occasion. Months ahead of time, she was prepared with cards, gifts, and well wishes that were always much appreciated.
Helen was a thoughtful woman who believed in the power of pub-lic education. In addition to her teaching duties, she would tutor students ranging from primary to post-secondary studies. In her retirement, she spent many hours baking for friends and family; her cookies, pies, and cinnamon buns were legendary. She had a quick wit and a great sense of humour. She loved to share comics and retell jokes that she had heard. She was a dedicated member of Trinity Memorial United Church. Her faith brought her much comfort and solace as she fought a tireless and stoic battle against cancer.
We are forever grateful to the kind personnel at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre, and the Christine Morrison Hospice. Their care and devotion to Helen was much appreciated. No service by request. A private interment will take place at a later date. Should you wish to honour Helen, read a book and be excited to learn something new.
“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”- John Dewey
