commercial district where there is the perception of a scarcity of parking – is an outlier.)

Staff and Mayor Henry Braun have talked about how a more-responsive transit system, and more people living closer to their jobs, will result in fewer people using their cars, thereby reducing the demand for parking. Similarly, there is also a belief that businesses and developers will look to cater a new generation of shoppers and residents more inclined towards urban living. Under a city centre built around the new guidelines, Neill says there will still be parking available on Christmas – but shoppers might just have to walk farther.

The city might not get the

final say on the matter. Zoning rules requiring set numbers of parking spaces, depending on the business, are being examined as part of an update that is underway to Abbotsford’s bylaw. But economics play just as big a factor as city rules: whether they’re shoppers or urban apartment-dwellers, people would still rather have available parking than not have it. And developers take notice.

A compromise that has become increasingly common – for residential buildings, at least – is underground parking. Below-grade parking is much more expensive to build, though.

buyers that customers will quickly learn parking will be available, despite the lack of a road-facing lot.

But whether consumers will adjust their habits as more developments like The Mark are built is “a million-dollar question,” Meindertsma said.

■■■■ City officials, though, think people can change.

Today, Abbotsford residents are used to getting in their cars and commuting from place to place. That mindset won’t shift overnight, particularly since the current layout of Abbotsford encourages such behaviour.

“There has always been this notion that more parking is better but we’re starting to realize now that more parking can be just as harmful as too little parking,” said Mark Neill, the city’s director of community planning.

Much of the space currently dedicated to parking sits vacant for the bulk of the year and is used only in December. The rest of the year, the parking mainly functions as a deterrant to walking, and as a sign to commuters that there is space available. (In any discussion about parking in Abbotsford, the historic downtown core – a

two levels of parking for the two six-storey buildings, says it can cost between $35,000 and $50,000 per underground parking spot. Those costs end up being factored into the pricing of the new homes.

Still, people want to be able to park, and apartment-dwellers have become accustomed to storing their vehicle underground. While zoning rules would have allowed the Mill District to supply 1.5 spots for every unit being constructed, Heinrichs is building 1.9 spaces per unit to keep up with demand.

“The market demands the parking, not so much the city,” he said.

In Vancouver, some buildings don’t have any available parking; residents don’t need it, and the city doesn’t require it.

But Abbotsford is still far from that point, according to both Heinrichs and Meindertsma.

Changing habits isn’t easy, and it’s unclear whether it will be consumers driving the change, or the city with its rules.

“What comes first, the chicken or the egg?” Meindertsma asked. “What comes first, the change in consumer behaviour or the change in the landscape?”

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A Surrey man charged in relation to a series of home break-ins in the Townline Hill area of Abbotsford in 2015 has been sentenced to five months in prison after pleading guilty to two of them.

The jail term for Shane Conrad Takakenew, 47, will be followed by one year of probation.

Takakenew was sentenced Oct. 10 in Abbotsford provincial court on two charges of break-and-enter. Another two break-and-enter charges were stayed.

Ashton College Abbotsford

Takakenew and co-accused Dustin Littlewolfe, 32, of Vancouver were arrested in late September 2015 after a series of break-ins had taken place at homes in west Abbotsford.

The thefts began in November 2014 and, by the time the pair were arrested, police had recorded almost 40 break-ins in the area.

The total value of the stolen property – mainly cash, jewelry and electronics – amounted to $750,000.

The largest theft involved $50,000 in foreign currency, jewelry and electronics taken from one home. x x x x x x

At the time, police said the break-ins occurred mainly between 3 and 7 p.m and involved the culprits getting into homes by prying open locked windows.

Police believed the suspects were watching the residences to determine when they would be vacant.

Investigators were able to link Littlewolfe to one breakin, which occurred Sept. 24, 2015.

He pleaded guilty to that incident – as well as to one each in Surrey and Delta in 2012 – in June 2016 and was sentenced to almost five months

in prison followed by two years of probation.

Takakenew was charged with four break-and-enters in Abbotsford, taking place on April 29, Aug. 8, Aug. 14 and Sept. 24 of 2015.

Takakenew also has several other charges currently before the courts, including seven counts of possession of stolen property and four counts of using an identity document without lawful excuse from December 2016 and January 2017 in Surrey.

The trial on those charges is slated to begin Feb. 5 in Surrey provincial court.

Plan hatched to recon thick mosquito breeding ground Heavily forested Matsqui Island prime area for pests

e ct prot o u r t. . . plane

R EC YC LE TH IS N E WS PAPE R

Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

Densely vegetated and uninhabited – by humans, at least – Matsqui Island is believed to be one of the largest breeding grounds for mosquitoes in the Fraser Valley Regional District.

Now, the company tasked with keeping the valley’s mosquito population in check is looking for permission and funding to map the island and target its plentiful pests.

Every year, the Fraser River freshet inundates much of the island, turning it into a paradise for breeding mosquitoes. But the area’s dense foliage and lack of safe access has previously made the 360-hectare island – which is part of the Matsqui First Nation – mostly impenetrable by workers for Morrow BioScience, the private company with the FVRD’s mosquito control contract.

Now Morrow has proposed a program to map the island with “high-accuracy GPS� in order to find the areas susceptible to flooding – and thus

The tree canopy on the island is so thick that without the mapping, mosquito control crews don’t know where standing water is located.

Reducing mosquito levels on the island would have a

significant positive impact on many residents in Mission, along with those in northern Abbotsford, FVRD staff say in a report. A map suggests mosquitoes bred on the island end up in much of Mission south of Best Avenue, along with a large chunk of Matsqui Village and rural northern Abbotsford stretching nearly to Downes Road.

The plan would require permission from the Matsqui First Nation.

Morrow says the program would cost $11,000. The money would come from an existing mosquito control reserve account that predates the 1995 creation of the Fraser Valley Regional District.

That account currently has $11,749.

New conceptual drawing of Jubilee Park redevelopment released by city Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

The City of Abbotsford has released a new conceptual drawing for the proposed redevelopment of Jubilee Park, along with two potential Mill Lake locations for the relocated lawn bowling club.

The city released a request for proposals last month for the $1.8 million project, which it hopes to have completed next spring.

A conceptual drawing by an architectural firm recently added to the RFP shows several new proposed additions to

the park, including a parkour court, an obstacle park, and a fitness park. There are also two separate stages envisioned at the site, along with a patio in front of the old MSA Centennial Library building.

The city has also added two new proposed sites for the Jubilee Park Lawn Bowling Club, which will move to Mill Lake Park as part of the redevelopment.

One site is off of Adanac Avenue, near the horseshoe pits. The other is off of Ware Street, just to the east of Kariton Gallery.

Web Talk

Homeless & homeowners We need to form a joint action plan so no one community is carrying the full weight, but the time has come to solve this problem. Call your city hall today.

Mick Johnston We have always had homeless but I don’t remember having such a serious problem when Riverview was open. It was a terrible mistake closing that facility.

Karen M. Cooper The pastoral rhetoric around homelessness offends me because there is so much money in the coffers of local churches that the talk sounds like blah blah blah.

Nellie Taylor Sadly many of these people living there would not live in a home or abide by the rules, even if it was offered to them.

Mary Rahn Reeves These ‘homeless’ criminals are drug addicted. That’s the bottom line. The pastor is completely incorrect by trying to line these drug-addicted criminals with law-abiding, peaceful residents.

Chester Malcolm

Do we have too many team players in politics?

Tyler

Olsen

Paper Trails They could all get good jobs elsewhere.

That’s the thing I keep coming back to when I read of politicians willing to debase themselves at behest of their party leaders.

In Canada and the United States, politicians regularly subject themselves to humiliation, either to curry the favour or avoid the wrath of more-senior politicians.

Occasionally, they’ll even call their party leader their boss, even though the electorate is the one with the sole ability to terminate a political career.

This, of course, is most frighteningly obvious in the United States, where Republican leaders have been publicly supporting their president while, behind the scenes, expressing worry that he’ll start a nuclear war. If you’re being generous, you

can excuse his cabinet for sticking around in order to prevent catastrophe. But there’s no such benefit of the doubt to be given to members of other branches of government who refrain from speaking out about the danger they believe their country to be in.

The situation there renders somewhat quaint any concerns about groveling Canadian politicians. But it should expose the risks that unprincipled politics creates.

Canadian political parties of all stripes show almost no willingness to let MLAs and MPs deviate from talking points. Sure, a backbencher will occasionally make news for expressing some fringier views on topics far outside the mainstream. But when it comes to serious issues of the day, politicians are expected to regurgitate party dogma. The exclamation mark is for your party’s ideas; the question mark for the other party’s. Mixing up the too is B-A-D. These are men and women who, by and large, have serious records of public service.

They enter office genuinely wanting to improve the lives of constituents, I believe.

And yet, a combination of our political

system and human nature ends up reducing them to automatons controlled by and for their party leaders.

Imagine you’re a new MLA. You’ve joined a political party, won your election and are now sitting in the legislature.

... a combination of our political system and human nature ends up reducing them to automatons controlled by and for their party leaders.

You are a member of a team. That word – “team” – is used a lot in this new place and it sounds good to you. It means support, camaraderie and working towards a common cause. It means winning.

Repeating talking points isn’t a bad thing, but rather what’s expected of the loyal team player you consider yourself to be. “Team player” was even on your first resume.

There’s also power, although that’s not how you think of it. You entered politics to make a difference; whatever your role at the present moment, you aspire to a higher position where you’ll have a greater ability to improve the lives of your constituents.

Do lone wolves who can’t be trusted to do as directed get such important jobs? They do not. And so, you follow orders – at least for now, you tell yourself.

You will stand out there, repeating the words given to you by the public relations people. You stay on message. And you bury that nagging thought that suggests that you – an accomplished individual, (with other job prospects!) – are just a cog in a machine.

That machine is working for your constituents. It hasn’t turned against its masters, you tell yourself. If it does, then you’ll speak up.

Then.

Thieves raided, then stole, SPCA sheds Kelvin GAWLEY Abbotsford News

Police are looking for thieves who not only raided two storage sheds at the Abbotsford SPCA but also stole the sheds themselves.

The theft occurred Monday evening at the BC SPCA’s branch on Industrial Way. The thieves, who police believe used a Toyota pickup truck, took two lawn mowers, a weed eater, gas cans and a pro-

pane tank.

“I am so relieved that all the animals are safe, but for this to happen on Thanksgiving weekend feels like an extra-low blow,” branch manager Sarah Ringer said in a statement.

“They had to take the storage sheds apart to steal them and they made two trips to take everything.”

Staff and volunteers need the stolen gear to maintain the branch’s grounds, she said.

“Being a non-profit orga-

nization, we try to use every penny to help animals, so this hits us hard,” Ringer said.

The SPCA is asking for donations of money or items (two storage sheds, a lawn mower, a weed eater, gas cans and a propane tank) to replace what was stolen.

Abbotsford Police Const.

Ian MacDonald said the incident is under investigation and police are canvassing the area for video surveillance.

Abbotsford gardens get ‘4 Blooms’ rating The City of Abbotsford showed its true colours in full bloom this past spring, and has been awarded for it.

The municipality has been awarded a “4 blooms” rating from British Columbia Communities in

Bloom (CIB). It also got special recognition for the International Friendship Garden and a Criteria Award for outstanding effort for the Canada 150 trophy.

It was the first year Abbotsford entered competitively in CIB.

The city launched a “Get Your Bloom On” and “You’re Bloomin’ Wonderful” campaigns in the spring, getting residents and businesses to participate in local contests to prepare their gardens for the CIB judges’ visit.

CIB inspires communities to enhance and sustain the visual appeal of neighbourhoods, public spaces, parks and streetscapes through the imaginative use of regionally appropriate plants and landscaping, with attention to environmental

stewardship and to preserve heritage and cultural assets.

“Achieving 4 Blooms is a significant accomplishment, and, on behalf of city council, I would like to acknowledge and thank everyone involved,” Mayor Henry Braun said.

Former Fraser Health Burial?

CEO resigns after Cremation? spending scandal Nigel Murray promises to repay expenses

Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

The former head of Fraser Health has resigned amid a scandal involving personal spending following his move from British Columbia to New Zealand.

After seven years in charge of Fraser Health, Dr. Nigel Murray left in 2014 to move back to New Zealand, where he took a new job as head of the Waikato District Health Board in Hamilton, 130 km south of Auckland.

Murray’s new job paid him about $525,000 per year, but the New Zealand Herald reported last December that Murray had claimed more than $100,000 in travel expenses, including $36,000 to relocate from B.C. Of that money, the Herald reported $10,000 came because Murray left Fraser Health “earlier than expected.”

An independent inquiry followed that revealed that Murray spent “more than the agreed $25,000 (NZD) allocated for relocation costs, and other unauthorized expenses involving potential financial breaches of the chief executive’s obligations.”

Murray’s resignation was accompanied by a promise to repay “all outstanding amounts.” He has been on leave since mid-July.

His resignation follows months of scrutiny into Murray’s spending in New

PHOTO COURTESY NEW ZEALAND HERALD. Zealand, and past at Fraser Health and the New Zealand health district he worked at before moving to Canada.

In August, New Zealand news outlets reported that the Waikato board had been warned by doctors not to hire Murray, citing a “legacy … of disgruntlement, unhappiness, frustration” when he was working at another New Zealand health district.

The chair of the health district, though, said such concerns were acknowledged and checked with Canadian health officials.

While at Fraser Health, Murray spent around $140,000 CAD over an 18 month-span in 2008 and 2009, before later pledging to reduce travel costs. Murray was making $444,000 a year when he left Fraser Health; the current CEO, Michael Marchbank, made $390,089 last year.

During Murray’s tenure, Fraser Health also came under fire for failing to meet its budget, which climbed by nearly 50 per cent, triggering a review initiated by the provincial government.

Ignite Abbotsford, an event that brought together several guest speakers who focused on the theme Passions and Perspectives, was held Wednesday night at the Phoenix Lounge in Abbotsford.

The speakers at the sold-out event came from a variety of backgrounds to share their passions and challenge participants to think of the things they might be able to do to make a difference in their own communities.

Presentations included Agassiz Centre for Education (ACE) student Emma Potts discussing “An Alternative Perspective of ‘Problem’ Youth,” ACE administrator Sandy Balascak taking about “Problem Youth vs. Youth with Problems” and counsellor Ted Leavitt discussing “20 ADHD stories in 5 Minutes.”

Also among the speakers were students Caylee Watrin, Kenzie Mills, Clara Parker, Bailey Cryer and Cambree Lovesy from the Wellness Week Team at Robert Bateman Secondary in Abbotsford.

Several businesses in Abbotsford will be honoured Oct. 19, when the Inclusive Employer Excellence Awards are presented.

The awards recognize businesses who are committed to hiring people with developmental disabilities, mental health challenges or brain injuries.

The event is presented

by Abbotsford Community Services, AbbotsfordWORKS and Communitas Supportive Care Society.

Tamara Seebaran works as an employment specialist with Communitas and says it’s important to recognize business owners who make it a matter of course to hire inclusively.

“There is still a stigma

attached to hiring people with diverse abilities,” she said.

“These businesses are proving the stigma wrong. They are successful, long-standing employers who know that having a diverse workforce is good for business.”

AbbotsfordWORKS, agrees.

“These employers understand the benefits of inclusion and embrace diversity, which gives them a competitive edge and a healthier bottom line,” she said. “Inclusive hiring just makes good business sense. These companies will continue to access talent, which will lead to innovation and enable them to thrive as a business.”

Matts Batryn, an employment specialist with Abbotsford Community Services, notes that as of the 2012 Census, 13.7 per cent of Canadians identify as having a disability.

Nathan Bosch of VSSL Outdoor Utility Tools has hired several employees through Communitas to do assembly line work and quality control.

“They are always on time for work and they do a fantastic job,” he said, adding that customers appreciate the fact that VSSL is an inclusive hirer.

VSSL will receive the award for Creative Workplace Solutions.

Other businesses who will be recognized include: Tradex, VanCity, A&W, Home Depot, the Abbotsford News and Carillon.

The Abbotsford Centre will receive the 2017 Inclusive Employer of the Year Award.

The awards take place at an invitation-only breakfast on Thursday, Oct. 19 at Abbotsford Centre.

Soft Lift QUESTION: Is it true you can achieve a soft face lift with the use of cosmetic fillers? Will the results look natural?

ANSWER: As we age the bones of the face actually soften back as does the fat in the fat pockets of the face. At the same time our skin expands due to the effects of natural aging.

In other words the table cloth is now too big for the table. With the Soft Lift we combine the smoothing effect of Botox with the filling effect of Juvederm fillers. The result is a natural looking lift with no downtime, done in just one treatment!

Bringing awareness to domestic violence Purple Light Nights campaign launched in Abby Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

This year’s Purple Light Nights campaign was launched in Abbotsford last Friday to bring awareness to the issue of domestic violence.

The launch was held outside of the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association office on Montrose Avenue, with a goal of encouraging individuals, groups and businesses to hang purple lights throughout October.

“Purple is the symbol of courage, survival and honour, and has come to symbolize the fight to end women abuse,” said Michele Giordano, chair of the Violence Against Women in Relationships (VAWIR) committee.

She said the campaign is held annually to acknowledge the existence of domestic abuse, to

Michele Giordano of the Violence Against Women in Relationships committee speaks at the Purple Light Nights launch event on Friday as MLA Darryl Plecas (left) and Mayor Henry Braun look on.

VIKKI HOPES/ABBOTSFORD NEWS

stand in solidarity with victims, and to raise the profile of community resources.

Giordano said more than 50 Abbotsford businesses have hung purple lights in support of the campaign.

As well, VAWIR has created a “travelling exhibit” of life-sized red wooden silhouettes, each representing a

person killed by a partner. Some of these were on display at the launch event.

“Violence impacts everyone; it is not just a women’s problem.

Rather, it is the whole community that experiences the devastating impact of domestic violence,” Giordano said.

Also speaking at the event, Mayor Henry

Braun cited statistics indicating that 25 per cent of all violent crimes reported to police involve family violence, and 70 per cent of the victims are girls and women.

“We’re here to say that domestic violence has no place in our community,” he said.

Braun said domestic abuse remains one of the most under-reported crimes, although the focused work of the Abbotsford Police Department’s domestic violence unit has resulted in a high rate of such crimes being reported locally.

However, he said shelter availability and affordable housing for individuals trying to escape an abusive relationship remains one of the biggest challenges.

Abbotsford Police Insp. Tom Chesley agreed that housing is a challenge.

“There are still so many victims of domestic violence that really feel they are just so stuck where they are, because there is no place for them to go,” he said.

“Until that barrier gets crossed, I think we’ve got this continuing uphill battle, and it’s the community that’s going to help us solve that battle.”

Also speaking at the event were Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas, and Kathleen and Alexander Kasatkin, whose daughter Kim was killed in November 2016 in Peru. Her common-law partner has been charged with her murder, but has not yet gone to trial.

Also at the event, hip hop artist Saint Soldier and singer Rozsa released a new song, called Dark Shades, which is about domestic violence.

Businesses or individuals can purchase a string of purple lights for $20 at Blackwood Building Supplies (33050 South Fraser Way).

Abbotsford Homeowners Want to Know The Value of Their Home, But Are Afraid to Ask! Abbotsford – A hassle-free service allows homeowners to receive up to date real estate market information speciÀc to their home without having to meet with a real estate agent.

Some homeowners are reluctant to meet with a realtor as they may only be in the early stages of planning a move or may not yet know if they will move. “Should we sell or stay? How much equity do we actually have?� Often these questions cannot be answered without knowing the current value of your home.

Determining the value of your home is based largely on comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold.

This comparative approach should consider several factors – features of each home, location, neighbourhood, length of time on the market, etc. However, access to this type of information is generally re-

served for the real estate agents and their clients.

This free service provides each homeowner with a Real Estate Market Update speciÀc to their property. This update includes detailed sales information of similar homes that have recently sold within the homeowner’s area, as well as the current listings. This data includes a photograph of each home, asking prices and selling prices, the number of days on the market, price reductions and a complete description of each home.

To have a free Market Update sent to you, specially tailored for your home, call this 24 hour free recorded message at 1-800-251-4944, enter extension #4811.

This hassle free, no obligation service is provided by Rod Poole of Landmark Realty Corp. You may also call Rod’s ofÀce directly at 604-309-6068.

Bulls are in the blood of Ponoka, Alta. stock contractor Nansen Vold.

For over half a century, his family has supplied the powerful animals to events all across North America.

His great-uncle Harry Vold brought seven bulls to the first-ever National Finals Rodeo in Dallas back in 1959, and the Vold family has had a presence at that event, regarded as the sport’s biggest, ever since.

The knowledge and tradition of the Vold family continues in Abbotsford on Saturday, when the Professional Bull Riders Canada event invades the Abbotsford Centre.

“My grandpa’s brother started the company back in the early-1950s,” Nansen recalled. “It’s been in the family a long time and I figure I

PBR event on Saturday From A24 â&#x20AC;&#x153;But riding someone to a 90-plus-point ride is a little bit better than just having them throw the guy off all the time.â&#x20AC;?

Vold said years of genetics have made the process of developing bulls easier, but the potential of an animal becoming a top bull is based on a number of factors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall athleticism is the biggest part, I guess â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like how they perform and kick,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But attitude has a lot to do with it as well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just having the intensity and the ability to perform day in and day out. We breed the best of the best and you always hope you can produce another good one. Other times, you can tell by how fast the bull spins, or how hard they kick when they extend their legs out.â&#x20AC;?

He said some of the bigger-name bulls coming to Abbotsford include Sheep Creek and Blow Me Away. Sheep Creek has bucked at

the World Finals in Las Vegas and is one of the more well-known bulls on the tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a grey bull that I think a lot of people have become fans of,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performed at quite a few of the bigger shows in North American the last few years. Blow Me Away is just a large animal.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely big for a rodeo bull.â&#x20AC;?

Many of Voldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bulls travel to not only PBR events, but events throughout North America. He has also named two bulls after the late Ty Pozzobon, who won last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event in Abbotsford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We name the animals based on their personality or how they look,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or some of them are named after guys that have passed, to kind of keep their name in the business.â&#x20AC;?

Vold acknowledged some of the concerns for the safety of the animals at rodeo events, but said his bulls are well taken care of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best thing I can

Cup title in Singapore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This group of players is a very exciting mix of established names and great potential,â&#x20AC;? stated menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team head coach Damian McGrath [Newcomers Andrew] Coe and Thiel are the type of young players who can take the Sevens stage by storm over the next few years.â&#x20AC;?

The 2017-18 season consists of 10 tournaments on the World Series, along with the Silicon Valley 7s in November, Commonwealth Games in April and the Rugby World Cup 7s in July. The series returns to Vancouver inside B.C. Place for the third straight year in March.

The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team features Nakisa and Tausani Levale, who were both named to the team for the first time.

The sisters, who are both graduates of Abbotsford Senior Secondary, had stellar high school and youth careers in Abbotsford.

Nakisa recently starred on the University of Victoria Vikes and helped lead the Vikes to a Canada West championship. Tausani earned a gold medal at the B.C. Summer Games in 2016, and earlier this year helped the Abbotsford Panthers win a B.C high school rugby title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the start of the new Olympic cycle already underway, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hugely important to us to get what we currently believe is the core of the team that will be in Tokyo 2020 working & growing together as a group,â&#x20AC;? said Canada womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sevens program head coach John Tait.

The Levale sisters and the rest of the team head to Dubai at the end of November, Australia in January and April and then return home for HSBC Canada Sevens as Langfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Westhills Stadium will play host to the HSBC Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sevens Series on May 12 and 13.

Playoffs loom for UFV soccer With just two weeks remaining in the Canada West soccer regular season, it’s “put up or shut up” time for both the men’s and women’s UFV Cascades teams.

The men kept their playoff hopes alive with a dramatic last-minute goal by rookie forward Darash Sandhu to help the team down the TWU Spartans in Abbotsford on Sunday.

With the game tied at 1-1 and in injury time, Sandhu got a clean look at a vacated Spartans net and made no mistake about it to give UFV the 2-1 win.

The victory was a nice bounce-back effort from the men’s team, who lost 4-0 to the Spartans in Langley on Friday.

“It’s massive,” Cascades head coach Tom Lowndes said. “Based off how Friday went

and how poor I thought we were, fantastic response. I thought first half was probably the best half we’ve put together all year. We were strong in the tackle, defensively our shape was good, we caused problems going forward, and we looked really, really good.”

Gurmaan Jhaj tallied the Cascades’ first goal in the 12th minute, which stood as the game’s only goal until the Spartans tied the game in the 58th.

The men’s team record improved to four wins, six losses and two ties after the weekend. They next head to Prince George to battle the UNBC Timberwolves on Friday and Saturday.

The weekend proved to be a disappointing one for the Cascades women’s team, who dropped both games

Charandeep Rangi and the Cascades need a pair of wins in Prince George this weekend. to the Spartans.

The women lost 5-0 in Langley on Friday, and then were blanked again 4-0 in Abbotsford.

Cascades head coach Rob Giesbrecht said Sunday was a better effort than Friday, but it wasn’t enough to topple the top-ranked Spartans.

“I thought in the first half, we competed really well,” he said. “We were

far more confident than we were the other night – leaked a few chances, but Emily (Harold, Cascades goalkeeper), when called upon, made a couple good saves.

“Then that first goal they got kind of took the wind out of the sails for some of us. We’ve got to be mentally stronger. We’ve got to face adversity with more belief in ourselves.”

The women host the Saskatchewan Huskies today (Friday) at 5:30 p.m., and then the Regina Cougars tomorrow (Saturday) at 5:30 p.m.

The Cascades’ record now sits at four wins, four losses and two ties, and they are in fifth place in the Pacific division.

You never knew what would tickle him.

Roy was interned at Musslewhite Cemetery following a small intimate service, October 11th, 2017.

The family would especially like to thank the staff at Menno Hospital 2 West for their kindness and care they took with Roy. They enjoyed his humour while it was still there and were always respectful and caring when talking with him.

We would also like to thank the Pastor of Menno and his volunteers for stopping in and spending time with Roy especially during his end of days. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice. if you have none, any society that is working to fight this debilitating disease of Alzheimer / dementia in Roy's name would be greatly appreciated.

Kathleen Anne "Kathy" Currell February 4, 1950 - September 30, 2017 Kathy passed away suddenly in her home the night of September 30th. While her passing was unexpected, she had been living with congestive heart failure for some time. We had her longer than we expected to, but it still feels far too soon to be letting her go.

Kathy was a fighter. She survived a battle with breast cancer in 2000, the complications of which led to another very close call in 2007. She also transcended an incredibly difficult childhood to become an unbelievably loving mother, and a treasured friend to anyone that knew her.

Kathy was hilariously quick-witted, wildly intelligent, athletic, strikingly beautiful, and above all: genuine. The quote she chose for her 1967 yearbook was "Everybody's friend, nobody's fool", which held true her entire life.

Kathy is survived by her daughters, Kieve & Pascale Laviolette, her brothers Bob & Daniel Currell, and her close friend and former spouse Mike DeSante. She will be deeply missed.

True to her selfless disposition and unique character, Kathy made it clear she did not want a traditional memorial service.

We have chosen to respect her wishes and plan to celebrate her life in a way that feels authentic to her, sometime in the near future. Kathy loved the outdoors and animals; in lieu of flowers, a donation to the SPCA or Katie's Place Animal Shelter would be a lovely way to honour her memory.
