$1 million for Matt’s House De Jong delivers funding for children’s respite care A3

Buzzer beater lifts UFV to Final Four

HOUSING FOR NEEDY A3 $10-million, 41-unit building opens on Clearbrook Road

Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

It was, without a doubt, one of the greatest basketball games this town has ever seen.

With the clock ticking toward zero and his University of the Fraser Valley Cascades trailing the Lethbridge Pronghorns 68-66 in the fourth quarter on Saturday, Joel Friesen launched a desperate stepback, fall-away three-pointer.

The buzzer sounded as the ball was in the air, with the near-capacity home crowd at the Envision Athletic Centre willing the ball to somehow find the basket.

When it improbably dropped through the hoop, an explosive roar rose from the crowd.

“I wasn’t sure if it was going in or not,” Friesen admitted with a grin afterward. “Once it was in, it was unbelievable. I’ve never hit a game-winner in my life, and it’s an amazing feeling.”

Friesen’s heroics gave the Cascades men a 2-1 win in the bestof-three first round playoff series – their first series victory since joining Canada West six years ago. They advance to the Final Four in Saskatoon, which tips off this Friday.

A million for Matthew’s House Province provides boost for Campus of Care facility Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

Matthew’s House’s fundraising campaign received a $1-million boost, thanks to the provincial government.

The announcement of a $1,025,000 donation was made by Health Minister Michael de Jong on Friday night during a special reception at the Phoenix Lounge in Abbotsford.

The funding will be added to the $1.16 million in donations already raised for the capi-

tal project which is expected to begin construction by mid-2012.

“This gift from the province is not only a shot in the arm, it will provide us with the foundation to make sure the building is up by next year,” said Tom Balke, stewardship director with Communitas Supportive Care Society, which is the charitable organization working with Matthew’s House.

Balke said the fundraising goal is $4.125 million for both the construction of the facility

and operating funds.

The funding will ensure they have fully qualified nursing and support staff to care for the residents.

Matthew’s House is a proposed five-bed residence that will provide long-term respite care for children and adolescents who live with a significant disability. At the same time, it will help support and encourage the families of these children.

New housing for women in need Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News

A $10.3-million housing project aimed at reducing the number of homeless people living on Abbotsford’s streets will open its doors on March 1.

Volunteers are assembling chairs and dollying dressers into bedrooms, as the final stage of readying the new Christine Lamb Residence for its first occupants.

One of those dedicated volunteers is Gord Lamb, son of the building’s namesake.

“It’s quite a tribute to my mom. I’m very overwhelmed, and she would be overwhelmed,” he said.

The building was dedicated to the woman who was the first female elected to Matsqui council, avid community volunteer and supporter of the Women’s Resource Centre of the Fraser Valley, which will operate the building.

Located at 3206 Clearbrook Rd., next to the Matsqui Recreation Centre, the building has 41 furnished units, ranging from studio

Coordinator Sonya Hossmann is impressed with the building, which is designed for function. BC Housing oversaw the project, which was designed by Keystone Architecture and built by Mierau Construction.

“It’s beautifully done. It’s efficient and they haven’t wasted any space. It’s perfect.”

The project is part of an agreement between the province and the city to create new affordable housing. B.C. provided a grant of approximately $8.9 million while Abbotsford donated the land, valued at approximately $1.36 million, and waived property taxes and development cost charges.

Known as second stage housing, the building will be available to women moving from situations such as addiction treatment, recovery houses and transition houses, with their children. The women referred would otherwise be homeless or in unstable housing situations. Clients will be prioritized based on need, will stay for a maximum of two years, and will be offered programs as necessary. About a dozen women and their children will call the building home immediately, and it will be full within the month, said Hossmann.

“This is about building community, and re-entering the community,” she said.

Pepper-spray incident at Safeway Ten affected, two taken to hospital Two people were taken to hospital on Friday evening after a man discharged pepper spray at the Safeway in Abbotsford.

Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said a man released the spray in the front entrance of the store – located at 32500 South Fraser Way – just after 6 p.m.

MacDonald said the man then went to the customer service counter and told them what he had done, saying he had found a can of pepper spray in the parking lot and wanted to see if it was working.

He then fled the scene on foot.

Several paramedic units, along with Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service, were called to the scene to treat about 10 people who had been affected by the spray. Two people were later transported to Abbotsford Regional Hospital for observation.

MacDonald said police are trying to identify the culprit through store video.

NewsBytes EMERGENCY WESTJET LANDING Emergency crews were called to Abbotsford International Airport on Friday night after a WestJet flight with 93 passengers on board had a problem with its flaps. The Boeing 737, en route from Toronto to Kelowna, landed in Abbotsford at about 10:15 p.m. without incident. WestJet spokesperson Robert Palmer said the flaps were stuck in a partially deployed position.

The pilot decided to divert to Abbotsford because it has a longer runway. The plane was taken out of service, and passengers were placed on another plane, which departed for Kelowna at about 12:15 a.m. The cause is under investigation.

TEACHERS’ DAY OF ACTION Abbotsford teachers were among those across the province participating in the “day of action” yesterday as initiated by their union, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF). The job action involved teachers arriving at school five minutes before the morning bell and leaving five minutes after the closing bell. This was in response to the government’s announcement that it would introduce legislation this week to impose a settlement on teachers. Jeff Dunton, president of the Abbotsford District Teachers’ Association (ADTA), said local educators participated in rallies after school – and off school property – and attended a social at the ADTA office to talk about the pending legislation and possible provincial actions.

Teachers have been without a contract since last June, and negotiations have stalled with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association.

Teachers began the first phase of their job action in September by refusing to do certain administrative duties, such as filling out report cards.

A second person has been charged in connection with the murder of Ryan Saint Ange of Abbotsford.

Robert Adam Van Dusen, 26, of Aldergrove was arrested Thursday and has now been charged with second-degree murder.

His arrest follows that of Shayne Steven Vauthrin, 26, of Abbotsford who turned himself in to police and was charged with second-degree murder last Monday.

Cpl. Adam MacIntosh, acting spokesperson for the Integrated

Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), said the two suspects are known to each other, and the incident was not a random attack.

He said no further suspects are believed to be involved in Saint Ange’s death.

“The quick action and diligent work of the IHIT investigators has resulted in the arrest of two individuals in connection to the January homicide, helping the family move closer to finding closure.”

Neither suspect has a prior criminal record.

Saint Ange, 21, was found dead just after midnight on Jan. 14 by a friend who had dropped by to

The idea for the house was created by Andrea and Doug Froese, whose son Matthew suffered from severe birth asphyxia, which left him completely dependent on his parents’ care.

Matthew was the inspiration for the new house, part of Abbotsford’s Campus of Care which includes Canuck Place Children’S Hospice and the Abbotsford Hospice Society’s Holmberg House.

Although Matthew passed away in August 2010, the Froese family continues to help fundraise for the facility that will bear his name.

They were on hand Friday night to accept the cheque from de Jong.

Andrea thanked the province for its support to carry on Matthew’s legacy and for “standing alongside the families who also have brave little souls who will benefit from Matthew’s House.

“I want Matthew’s House to be a place where we can come alongside families with similar challenges and let them know that they are doing a good job and it’s OK that they are tired. Matthew’s House is here to relieve that a little, to offer some rest.”

Reading from a prepared speech, Andrea told the crowd about the day Matthew passed away.

“It was very unexpected for us. I wasn’t there.

When I did arrive, and I apologize if this sounds strange, he had a big smile on his face. I believe number one, it’s because he liked where he was going. But I also think he knew that he was leaving this Earth knowing he had unlocked a lot of goodness and that he could entrust us to carry on his message. He was free to go because he knew that we were beginning to understand what was needed in the lives of kids like himself.”

Toronto QB: ‘Pretty empowering’ Quarterback says it’s ‘mission accomplished’ if she can change the minds of fans Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

Donna Paul says she’s an average Canadian. She’s 5’3”, she’s married and she’s an elementary school teacher.

She’s also the quarterback for the Toronto Triumph of the Lingerie Football League.

The question many people ask her is why?

Paul grew up playing ice hockey and is used to contact sports. She has played touch, flag and contact football.

When a newspaper ad regarding the new LFL team coming to Toronto caught her eye, Paul decided to investigate.

“My idea was just to go to the tryout and see what it’s all about, see if it’s the real deal. See if these girls who also show up are athletes or just a bunch of girls looking for their 15 minutes of fame.”

It was some of both.

But she saw enough to convince her to commit.

“This is tackle football at its finest, just wearing a little less equipment than people are used to watching.”

She said there are some other tackle football leagues for women, but they don’t have the allure of the LFL. “I’ve been working out, training, for years. I take pride in my athletic physique. I think the female body, as well as male athletes, they’re just like pieces of art. And to be able to display that in a physical nature on a field in front of fans is a pretty empowering experience.”

She has the full support of her husband and her parents, who come out to watch her play.

As a member of the Toronto Triumph, Paul was on hand when the team went through some initial turmoil.

JOE PETRO PHOTO

Toronto Triumph quarterback Donna Paul played a variety of contact sports before joining the Lingerie Football League.

After the first game of the inaugural season, a total of 20 players cut ties with the squad, voicing concerns regarding safety and inadequate equipment.

“I would beg to question their safety concerns because we all signed up to play tackle football. We all Googled stuff before playing.

“For people to question safety concerns after five months of gruelling on the field and all that kind of stuff, I think there were more things behind the scenes that they were unhappy with.”

But even if she didn’t agree with them, she still missed her teammates.

“We were a team from the beginning. I cared about the girls and we worked hard for four or five months together. It was hard.”

As for the threat of injury, Paul said she did hurt her knee in her inaugural season. However, she said it could have as easily happened if she played soccer or basketball.

She called the sport “controlled violence,” and said it’s safer than playing rugby, where no pads are worn.

As for the uniforms, Paul said they are not as skimpy as some might think.

“Could you really call it lingerie? I think it’s more of a marketing scheme.”

She believes a large percentage of first-time fans come to see the outfits, but eventually start watching the football.

“If I can change the minds of a handful of fans, then mission accomplished.”

Paul said when fans hear the league name, many imagine a “Victoria Secret model running around with a football.” But she said that isn’t the case.

“There are different body types throughout this league. There are some ridiculously tall, solid women.”

Paul said she has no other aspirations, but many women get opportunities from the LFL for modelling, commercials and even TV shows.

“It’s kind of an added bonus.”

“This goes on, on both sides of the fence, and it’s gone on well before the LFL. We’re just more honest about it – that, hey, that’s part of our gimmick to initially bring fans in, bring in media attention.”

The lure of scantily clad women has some complaining that fans are merely hoping to see some “accidental nudity.” The league has a disclaimer stating that nudity could occur, and that players are forbidden from wearing anything under their uniforms.

Mortaza said the clothing policy is there to prevent players from wearing “brand apparel” that competes with league sponsored clothing.

And the recognition of the possibility of accidental nudity protects the league from any backlash, especially since many games are televised live.

Despite the explanations, it is likely the LFL debate will continue in Abbotsford.

Mortaza said he isn’t concerned.

“We’re dead set on Canada, there’s no question. In fact, I’ve gone on record to say that we believe Canada, or I believe that Canada, will be a greater success than even the States.”

It’s not about the kids Nearly one year and some 75 bargaining sessions later, Victoria and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation are not even remotely close to settling a new collective agreement.

The provincial government is now poised to legislate a settlement.

It was a predictable outcome, considering the teachers’ union was demanding a 15 per cent wage increase over three years, as well as other stratospheric benefits, such as 10 weeks bereavement leave for the death of a friend, and 26 weeks of paid leave to care for a sick person – family, friend or otherwise.

In the present challenging economic climate, and given the fact that other public sector unions have accepted zero per cent contracts, the BCTF is clearly in fantasy land.

Now the sabre-rattling has begun, with the union talking about the possibility of a full strike.

That should settle any doubt in the public’s mind as to the intent of a serious escalation in job action, which up to now has seen teachers declining to do certain administrative tasks, such as filling out report cards.

This is not “about the children,” as the BCTF keeps insisting.

This is another political fight between the provincial government and the teachers’ union – another dreary chapter of dysfunctional contract negotiation in which the Liberals and the NDP before them legislate settlements in all but one occasion since 1996.

Further job action now, especially a strike, would not be in the best of interest of the kids.

‘Efficiency’ comes with a price tag Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand While enjoying a beer and some BS, my friend asked if I’d had the spark plugs in my truck changed recently.

Curious about the reason for the question, I asked him to elaborate.

Seems his truck is nearing the 100,000 km mark, and he’d been told it was a good idea to change the plugs, and then launched into a great litany on the cost of same.

Apparently his truck, which is a few years less vintage than mine, is of the generation that came with spark plugs that fuse to the engine head, meaning, of course, that when someone attempts to change them, they invariably break, requiring extensive cost to remove the bits and re-install shiny new ones.

“It can cost up to a thousand dollars to do this,” he lamented.

“Look,” I replied, “why are you worrying about it? My truck has the same

engine (though perhaps with different plugs, I allowed) and has travelled more than 280,000 km on the original plugs.”

Replaced? I don’t even know where the plugs are, let alone had them replaced. So as long as they don’t all pack it in at once, they’ll stay there until the truck meets the bone yard.

Of course, being the inquisitors that we are, we then popped open the hoods of the respective vehicles to see exactly where the little devils were located, and how accessible they are.

Confronted with more motive technology than drives a Saturn rocket, we clearly determined it would be virtually impossible to do the job ourselves, and conceded jurisdiction of enginegutting to the $100-plus-an-hour garage mechanics who have more ‘special tools’ than NASA. Gone certainly, are the days when you could literally climb into the engine compartment of a truck and, armed with little more than a hammer, screwdriver and socket wrench, fix stuff yourself.

Now I will admit that all the electronic wizardry, anti-pollution stuff

and fuel economy devices on newer vehicles have more than halved the consumption of fuel.

But they have also compromised the use of some of them too. Looking last week at a new diesel unit one of my sons just acquired, I noticed what appeared to be a huge ‘box’ hanging

This is the effect of pollution concerns and escalating fuel prices over the past decade or so. below the body just back of the passenger side front tire.

What, I wondered, was that?

Apparently new diesel engines require the addition, every 5,000 km, of five gallons of urea into the little tank; something to do with anti-pollution requirements for diesel emissions.

Great for our health perhaps, but that box hanging below the unit would

certainly be cause for very careful offroading in the 4x4.

One good whack on a big rock and the tank, urea and a significant part of your bank account is gone. As the credit card commercial states – being stranded in the middle of nowhere, with no way to fix it. Priceless!

This is the effect of pollution concerns and escalating fuel prices over the past decade or so.

In the 1990s, a former truck (at nine miles to the gallon, empty or loaded) cost less to fill both tanks than it does the single very much smaller tank on my current one.

We need the efficiencies that antipollution and economic consumption devices provide so we can breathe easier. However, the financial aggravation to keep trucks running either with fuel or fixing almost seems to make up the cost differential.

And, no, in case you are wondering, small electric or hybrid vehicles are not an option, at least when you need to haul a load of firewood, pull a trailer full of cows or carry a camper.

Lessons of the past Our mayor has urged us to be forgiving concerning the Abbotsford Heat contract.

Many of us may be willing to do this. To agree that we should forgive, however, is not the same as agreeing to forget. If we forget the lessons of past mistakes, we are likely to repeat them.

One lesson we could all learn from the Heat contract (which grew out of Plan A) is that when city hall wants to spend money on major projects, we should not be so trusting. We need to be alert and ask more questions. The city’s projec-

tions may be overly optimistic.

According to citizen researcher Lilly Kaetler, the projected cost of Plan A ballooned from $85 million to $115 million.

A second lesson we might want to take note of is that, especially on a money referendum, it is essential that we cast our ballot. According to Kaetler, only 9,815 of 130,000 potential voters entered a voting booth to make their views known on Plan A. A third lesson, in my view, is that excessive spending by governments at any level affects us all. It means less money for

roads, schools, police and fire protection, public transit and the environment. Also for low income housing, the treatment of those with mental, emotional and substance abuse issues.

Children of the working poor will likely be poorly nourished, even hungry, due to a lack of breakfast programs.

When governments accumulate too much debt, they have to increase taxes and resort to austerity measures.

We can forgive, but some things we dare not forget. The cost of complacency is high.

Art Martens

LFL a degrading game T. McManus asks why the Lingerie Football League coming to our publicly owned AESC will shake my world. He compares LFL to cheerleaders, and women on beaches.

His arguments skirt the central issue. AESC is our public building. Bringing this underwear league to compete here is not comparable to cheerleaders. They are not engaged in ferocious combat that results in their scant bits of clothing ‘accidentally’ being pulled off.

The relevant question is whether publicly owned facilities can used for a ‘sport’ that has the potential for public nudity built right into

the women’s contract. It’s a contact sport with the potential for serious injuries, yet deliberately inadequate protective gear.

The AESC belongs to Mr. McManus, and it belongs to me and to every other taxpayer in Abbotsford. So we should all have a voice when something of this magnitude is proposed.

Council has opened our city to a degrading game that reduces women to objects of lust. If LFL was about football, you would not be able to tell the sex of the players under all their protective padding.

Fraser Health has expanded its vaccination campaign against whooping cough. Pertussis has spread beyond Chilliwack and Hope where it started, and cases have been seen in Langley, Burnaby and other parts of the region. adults – for whom pertussis is more of an irritant – so they don’t act as carriers infecting infants, who are most at risk and are hospitalized in more than half of cases.

Three children have already been hospitalized due to the outbreak, including one twoweek-old baby that ended up in intensive care for five weeks.

All three have recovered. “It’s a nasty infection and even deadly in young infants,�

Brodkin said.

Three-quarters of infants infected get it from parents or close family members.

California had a huge outbreak in 2009 that claimed the lives of 10 children. Five more

died in Saskatchewan in 2010 and two more children died last year just across the border in Washington State, where authorities are still battling an outbreak.

The vaccine lasts about five years, so many who got it in the past are no longer protected.

Early symptoms of pertussis are similar to a cold, but often worsen to severe coughing that sounds like a whoop or crowing sound as the patient breathes in. Symptoms develop seven to 14 days after infection.

A spreading outbreak of whooping cough has prompted Fraser Health to extend its vaccination campaign across the region.

More than 150 people are believed to have contracted pertussis, a highly contagious bacterial infection that causes adults to cough for months but can be deadly to babies.

Medical health officer Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin said efforts to combat the illness had focused on Chilliwack and Hope – where the outbreak began – but said the vaccine is now being made available to doctors and pharmacists across the region. “More and more we are seeing cases outside of Fraser East,� she said.

Whooping cough cases are appearing in Burnaby, New Westminster, Langley and Maple Ridge, Brodkin said. “We didn’t want to wait until we were seeing huge numbers of cases and a very aggressive spread,� she added. “We saw enough cases we became concerned and decided it was time to act.�

Adults and youth in contact with young children who have not had the pertussis vaccine in the last five years are urged to get vaccinated.

The goal is to immunize

romance, misunderstandings, and a surprise twist ending,” said Ken Hildebrandt, Gallery 7 Theatre’s executive artistic director.

Wilde’s most famous comedy is filled with social satire and explores matters of love, marriage, and social status.

Algernon and Jack are middle-class socialites, bored with their existence, and seek adventure by assuming different identities. Their charades can only go so far, however, and things really come to a head when they each decide to settle down and get married.

It’s a biting satire of Victorian morals and manners that encourages us to earnestly pursue the finer things of life.

Pink Shirt Day 2012

Youths mark Anti-Bullying Day Participants encouraged to wear pink The Abbotsford Youth Commission (AYC) hosts two rallies on Wednesday, Feb. 29 in support of Anti-Bullying Day. The events will be held at Matsqui Recreation Centre (3106 Clearbrook Rd.) and Abbotsford Recreation Centre (2499 McMillan Rd.), and will leave from the youth centres at 2:30 p.m.

The rallies will proceed around the areas of the rec centres. The public is welcome to join youths, university students and AYC staff who will walk with posters, balloons and lollipops conveying an anti-bullying message.

“Bullying is a serious issue for youth in Abbotsford

We’re here when you need us.

and, by promoting Anti-Bullying Day, we are providing an opportunity for young people to learn more about what they can do to combat bullying,” said Bev Olfert, AYC executive director.

Most Abbotsford Schools also have Pink Shirt Day events planned. Staff at Clearbrook Elementary are coordinating wardrobes, pink t-shirts with slogans are being made in classrooms at Dr. Roberta Bondar, and an anti-bullying march with banners is planned at Bradner.

People are encouraged to wear pink because it is the official colour of Anti-Bullying Day, which is a national event.

OUTREACH • HOUSING SUPPORT • PARISH NURSING

Nationwide campaign’s roots in the Maritimes It started in September 2007, when two teens at a Nova Scotia high school stood up for a younger student.

David Shepherd and Travis Price, both in Grade 12, heard about a Grade 9 student at their school who had been bullied and threatened for wearing a pink polo shirt on his first day of school.

They decided they should do something about it, and went to a discount store, where they bought 50 pink shirts and tank tops to wear to school the next day.

They also went online to round up support for their anti-bullying cause, which they dubbed a “sea of pink.”

It worked. The next day, dozens of students were outfitted with the discount shirts, but even better – hundreds of students showed up wearing their own pink clothes, some from head to toe.

The bullies were reportedly never heard from again.

This year, Feb. 29 is Pink Shirt Day in B.C. and other parts of Canada, an annual anti-bullying event that started after the now famous 2007 “sea of pink” campaign.

The need for awareness and action against bullying remains as strong as ever, say those involved in the pink event, including local radio station CKNW, Black Press, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver, and London

Drugs, where people can buy the official ‘Bullying Stops Here’ pink shirts for 2012.

“Awareness of what bullying is and understanding that it hurts is important,” says Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver president and CEO Carolyn Tuckwell.

“It isn’t just a rite of passage. It doesn’t have to happen. And it’s relevant to everyone, whether in school, after school or in the workplace.”

According to www.bullyingcanada.ca, as many as 25 per cent of children in Be Grades 4 to 6 have been bullied and approximately one in 10 children have bullied others, while a 2004 study published in the Medical Journal of Pediatrics found that about one in seven Canadian children aged 11 to 16 are victims of bullying.

It is important to recognize what bullying is, and that it happens in many forms – verbally, socially, physically and online (cyber bullying), says Tuckwell.

“By wearing pink, people show they’re making that commitment, to not let bullying happen,” she says.

The provincial government has taken steps to address bullying in recent years, including a Ministry of Education resource brochure for parents in 14 languages that can be found online at www.bced.gov.bc.ca/sco.

Abbotsford News

For the first time in program history, the University of the Fraser Valley women's volleyball team is headed to the CCAA national championship.

The Cascades punched their ticket by winning a silver medal at the PacWest provincial playoff tournament on the weekend at Douglas College in New Westminster. The top two teams from the conference earn national berths.

It's an accomplishment even more amazing in light of the fact that just a couple months ago, UFV was considering cutting the program – along with men's volleyball, men's golf and rowing – as a cost-saving measure. All four teams' futures have since been assured for next season, and a long-term funding plan is in the works.

"It feels like a big weight off our shoulders," Cascades head coach Dennis Bokenfohr enthused. "Now, we can move forward. We want to do this consistently."

The second-seeded Cascades had a first-round bye, meaning that their opening game of the playoffs – Friday's semifinal vs. the Capilano Blues – was a do-or-die scenario for a national berth.

The UFV women came through with flying colours, beating the Blues in four sets (25-23, 25-23, 14-25, 25-20).

Middle Kayla Bruce and outside hitter Jenna Evans were the offensive stars in the win, but Bokenfohr was most impressed with the gritty performance turned in by setter Jill Saunders.

Hurricanes defend B.C. wrestling crown medallist Burnaby Central (57 points) in the boys team standings.

“We knew we were in the race, but we weren’t sure we’d win,” head coach

Sucha Mann said.

“But the boys worked really hard and accomplished what they were looking to do. It’s a big achievement.”

The Hurricanes’ depth was aptly illustrated in the 66 kilogram division, as a pair of Hansen athletes – Justin Gill and Baldeep Gill – met in the gold medal match on Saturday.

Justin Gill, a Grade 10 athlete, pinned his Grade 11 teammate in the second round to seal the win.

Hansen’s other gold medal came from Jobanjit Phulka, who was dominant

UFV women’s hoopsters sweep From A21

RR$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$P

Friesen, who pumpfake, took a dribble, stepped back, then launched his fateful fallaway.

In the aftermath, the Cascades players mobbed Friesen at centre court, then sprinted to the locker room.

“We all interlocked hands and enjoyed the moment,” Friesen said after emerging a couple minutes later.

Asked what was going through his mind when Friesen’s shot fell through, Craddock had to take a moment

to compose himself.

“I just really wanted our guys to experience the Final Four and a chance to go to nationals,” he said. “It was such a chathartic release of tension, because I really feel the guys on our team have worked very hard.”

T h e Cascades advance to the Canada West Final Four in Saskatoon, joining the SaskatchewanHuskies, Alberta Golden Bears and Victoria Vikes.

UFV plays Victoria in the semis.

Q The Cascades women’s hoopsters also punched their ticket to the Final Four, but they spared themselves the suspense that their male counterparts had to endure.

The UFV s q u a d , ranked No. 9 in the nation, made short work of the No. 10-ranked Calgary Dinos. They fashioned a defensive masterpiece in Thursday’s

Game 1, holding the second-best offence in Canada West more than 30 points below their regular season average in a 63-43 win.

On Friday, fifth-year point guard Tessa Klassen rained down three-pointers on the Dinos, going 7-for-11 from downtown to account for all of her 21 points, as the Cascades won 85-67.

The Regina Cougars host the women’s Final Four, and UFV plays them in the semis.

At practice last Wednesday, Saunders suffered a seriously strained quadriceps muscle in her left leg. With backup setter Nicole Blandford already sidelined with mono, Saunders had little choice but to play.

"It's one of the gutsiest performances I've ever seen," Bokenfohr said. "She basically couldn't move laterally at all – she could only move forward and backward. She was barely walking on it Thursday, so for her to play at all this weekend was pretty impressive.

"We kind of kept it hushhush, but every time she moved, everyone was holding

their breath."

In Saturday's gold medal game, the Cascades women lost in three sets to the Vancouver Island University Mariners of Nanaimo, who will host the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA) national tourney March 8-10. UFV will be seeded fifth at nationals, and open against the No. 4 Humber Hawks of Etobicoke, Ont. in the quarter-finals.

BEARCATS WIN BRONZE There Columbia Bible College men's volleyball team already knew they'd be heading to nationals, by virtue of the fact they're hosting the event March 8-10 at their Abbotsford

campus.

The Bearcats managed a podium finish at provincials, though – they fell in the semifinals to the eventual champion Douglas Royals, but bounced back to beat the Camosun Chargers to clinch third.

The CBC men will be seeded sixth at nationals, and open against Alberta champion Mount Royal of Calgary in the quarter-finals.

The Bearcats women's volleyball team finished just shy of the podium – they fell to VIU in three sets in the semifinals, and dropped another three-set decision to Capilano in the bronze medal game.

Chicago Wolves

Adam Estoclet and James Martin of the Heat put the clamps on Chicago Wolves forward Jordan Schroeder.

Heat beat Canucks’ farm team

A win over the Vancouver Canucks’ farm team was the highlight for the Abbotsford Heat on a weekend of mixed results on the road.

The local AHL squad thumped the Chicago Wolves 4-1 on Saturday, but that victory was sandwiched by a pair of defeats – 4-1 to the Milwaukee Admirals on Friday, and 4-3 in a shootout to the Peoria Rivermen on Sunday.

The Heat struggled on special teams in Milwaukee, surrendering a pair of power-play goals and a shorthanded marker in the loss. Greg Nemisz scored the lone goal for Abbotsford.

On Saturday, Heat blueliner

Clay Wilson tallied twice, including the game-winner early in the third, as Abby rolled over the Wolves. Dustin Sylvester and Adam Estoclet also scored, while goalie Leland Irving made 27 saves in the win.

Estoclet continued his red-hot play on Sunday in Peoria, scoring twice to extend his point streak to six games. Since being acquired from the Grand Rapids Griffins two weeks ago, he’s posted nine points (three goals, six assists) in seven games.

Nemisz also scored for the Heat, who took a 3-2 lead into the third period. But Rivermen forward Phil McRae got the

equalizer early in the third, and Peoria prevailed in the shootout.

The weekend results leave the Heat (29-21-3-2, 63 points) in sixth place in the AHL’s Western Conference standings.

ICE CHIPS: Q On Monday, the Calgary Flames returned AHL all-star forward Krys Kolanos to the Heat. He posted one assist in 10 games with the Flames. The Heat also released forward Judd Blackwater and defenceman Russ Sinkewich from their player tryout (PTO) contracts.

Q The Heat wrap up the road trip on Wednesday against the Rockford IceHogs.

The Aldergrove Kodiaks overhauled the Abbotsford Pilots for first place in the final week of the regular season.

The Kodiaks came into the week trailing the Pilots by one point in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League's Harold Brittain Conference standings, but they had three games remaining compared to just two for Abbotsford.

Aldergrove won twice early in the week, putting the pressure on the Pilots.

JUNIOR BOYS: The Eagles junior boys also had a memorable weekend – they beat crosstown rival Mouat 66-46 in the Valley bronze medal game to claim the region’s final provincial berth.

“We’d beaten them three times previously, and I was definitely concerned, because it’s tough to beat a good team three times in a row,” said Eagles coach Arnie Dick, noting

that his team was able to control the tempo against the high-octane Hawks.

MEI’s Tony Hao scored 20 points, while twin brothers Mitch and Greg Krahn notched 11 and 10 points, respectively, for the Eagles, who move on to the B.C.’s at Vancouver College, March 8-10.

were victorious in the first game of the doubleknockout portion of the Fraser Valleys on Friday, while the Abbotsford Collegiate Panthers were pushed to the brink of elimination.

Mouat beat Princess Margaret 73-54, while Yale blitzed Port Moody 82-53. The Panthers fell 70-50 to the Terry Fox Ravens. All three teams were back in action on Monday evening, but those results were unavailable at press time.

SENIOR AAA GIRLS: The Yale Lions won bronze at the Valleys, edging Gleneagle 49-47 on Saturday. The Lions had already locked up a provincial berth by virtue of their top-four finish; their B.C. tourney runs March 7-10 at Capilano University in North Vancouver.

SENIOR BOYS AA: The Abbotsford Christian Knights came into the Fraser Valleys ranked No. 14 in the province, but they pulled off a pair of upsets to notch a provincial berth.

The Knight edged No. 5-ranked Southridge of Surrey 53-51 in an elimination game on Friday, then crushed No. 8 Archbishop Carney 72-42 in the bronze medal game Saturday.

“We got thumped by No. 2-ranked G.W. Graham earlier in the season, and they were just tougher than us,” Abby Christian coach Keith Stewart said. “Our guys worked really hard in practice at beating on each other, so they could handle that.

We’re a much better team now.”

SENIOR GIRLS AA: Abby Christian beat Abby Collegiate 62-45 in the bronze medal game, but both local teams are off to provincials (March 7-10 in Kamloops).

The Knights’ Carley Goertzen was a first-team all-star, while Chanelle Steenkamp earned second team all-star honours.

Panthers forward Tiffany Picketts was picked for the second all-star team. Her squad punched its provincial ticket with a thrilling 59-57 quarterfinal win over Pitt Meadows. With the clock ticking down, Brittney Larson scored the winning basket on a driving layup.

“It’s been close to 20 years since the senior girls have been provincials,” enthused Panthers coach Elmore Abraham, noting that the traditional AAA school moved down to AA this season.

SENIOR A BOYS: St. John Brebeuf beat Credo Christian 63-50 in the bronze medal game to claim the region’s final provincial berth. Point guard E.J. Rabanes was named a tourney all-star after racking up 33 points in the win.

“I’m ecstatic with the boys,” Bears coach Len De Julius said.

GRADE 9 BOYS: The Bateman Timberwolves, coming off a first-place finish in their division, were the top local finisher at the Valleys. They ended up in fifth, knocking off Terry Fox 47-28 in the fifth-sixth placing game.

GRADE 8 GIRLS: The W.A. Fraser Falcons played for the Fraser Valley title vs. Lord Tweedsmuir on Monday, but that result was unavailable at press time.

GRADE 8 BOYS: The Clayburn Cougars and Fraser Falcons played for bronze on Monday after press time, while Abby Middle took on Lord Tweedsmuir in the fifth-sixth game.
