Donations hit record low point $15,000 spent to restock local food bank shelves

HOUSING THE HOMELESS

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The food supply at the Abbotsford Food Bank is at the lowest point it has ever been for this time of year.

Executive director Dave Murray said the agency recently had to purchase $15,000 worth of food to restock the shelves.

He said donations were down during the last Christmas campaign, which usually collects enough non-perishable food to last for most of the year.

“We knew in February that we were going to be in trouble,” he said.

By June, the food bank’s supply of staples – including rice, canned vegetables and pasta – had run out.

But thanks to connections that Kayla Feenstra of Dragonlily Gardens had with farmers in the area, enough fresh produce was donated to last through the summer.

Now, with produce not being grown on a large scale in the colder months, the food bank is back to relying on canned goods.

An average increase of 100 families per month – the food bank currently serves about 4,000 people – has added a further burden on the agency.

An example of the drop in donations was the recent BC Thanksgiving Food Drive, in which items collected in Abbotsford stayed in the community.

Murray said about 16 palettes of food were donated in 2012, compared to half that amount this year.

He said it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly why donations are down, but a major event is in the works to help boost contributions for the holiday season.

The food bank is partnering with the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre to host a toy drive on Friday, Nov. 29 from 6 to 9 a.m. The event will include a buffet breakfast, Santa, and entertainment, Continued on A4

Housing proposal raises more questions Public looks for answers to homeless issues, asks why downtown site chosen Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

More than 100 community members gathered at a public meeting to ask Abbotsford Community Services (ACS) and BC Housing about their proposal to build a 21-unit facility to house homeless men in the downtown core.

Concerned community members and supporters of the project all gathered at the Salvation Army Cascade Community Church on Wednesday evening to discuss the proposed low-barrier housing facility at 2408 Montvue Ave. – across from ACS. Concerns were raised about the impact of the low-barrier, housing-first model – meaning the men would not have to be drug- or alcohol-free when entering the facility – and the level of security that would be provided for the facility and the surrounding community.

Rod Santiago, executive director of ACS, said the project gives the residents a chance to recover from being on the streets before addressing issues of addiction or mental health, where they can stay in the facility for up to two years.

Though the men will not be under curfew, Santiago said the site will have 24/7 supervision with a staff member present.

Santiago added that ACS’s proposal is only one piece of solving the issue of homelessness in Abbotsford, but will provide a solution for 20 men at a time.

Questions were raised as to why the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association (ADBA), which has opposed the project since its announcement due to its proposed location within the city’s downtown C7 zone – which has a specific set of bylaws that prohibit supportive recovery use – was not on the panel.

ACS responded that the meeting was voluntarily organized to allow questions to ACS and the provincial agency BC Housing, who have partnered on the project.

Mitch Miller, who owns a restaurant in the downtown core, said he remembers when issues like prostitution and homeless-

ALEX BUTLER Abbotsford News

A lineup of residents and community leaders wait for their chance to ask questions about Abbotsford Community Services’ proposal to create a 21-unit facility to house homeless men in the downtown core. ness were prevalent downtown.

Miller said he already experiences “eat-and-run” customers and is worried that could increase with more homeless people in the area. He said he is skeptical about the proposal and the impact on his business and the safety of his staff, who often leave the restaurant late in the evening.

K a t h y Doerksen, Jim Burkinshaw an ACS staff member, said if anything criminal occurred, police would be contacted. But for any issues between men in the facility and businesses downtown they would work together to make reparations or solve the conflict.

Jim Burkinshaw, an Abbotsford resident for 51 years, has seen the ups and downs of the downtown core. He said after speaking to businesses near a similar project in New Westminster that have not been negatively affected by the addition of supportive housing, he is convinced the proposal would be a good addition in Abbotsford.

“I applaud what has gone on in the last decade for improving downtown and I don’t want to go back to the bad days ... which is why I support this proposal,” he said.

Paul MacLeod, president of the ADBA, said their organization shares the community’s concerns about homelessness, but the C7 zoning was designed over

a decade ago to give assurance and protection to small business owners to move into the formerly derelict downtown.

He asked how the ADBA can explain to their membership that the city will go back on its word and put supportive housing where they said it would never be built.

ACS and BC Housing were called on to address concerns on security and the impact to neighbouring homes and businesses, but community members also looked for answers from other sources.

Though members of the city and council were not part of the panel, Mayor Bruce Banman was called on to answer questions

by Dr. Elizabeth Dow, director of the school of social work at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV).

Dow said that communities never have enough resources to deal with social problems and Abbotsford needs to look to higher levels of government.

She asked Banman if he would consider bringing in other levels of government and make Abbotsford a leader in addressing homelessness.

Banman took to the microphone, saying that is what he has already been trying to do, adding that solving homelessness is a “monumental task.”

“How you tackle this is one bed and one room at a time,” but said the big issue becomes how to do it and where to put it.

Banman said a lot of people have placed the issue of homelessness and mental health on the city, when they don’t have the expertise to address the problems without the help of other

groups. He added that the homeless people themselves have to be part of their solution and ready to ask for help, in addition to finding other partners.

“It requires the province, it requires the federal government, it requires faith-based groups…

Everybody has to get together.”

Banman declined to answer further questions from the audience.

Burkinshaw returned to the microphone, pointing out that the province was present in the form of BC Housing, which would contribute the $2.4 million capital investment, plus over $200,000

Naomi Brunemeyer, of BC Housing, said that in other communities that work with BC Housing, cities donate the land. After completing two of three projects of BC Housing’s agreement with Abbotsford on city land – the Christine Lamb Residence and George Schmidt Centre – the third project had to be chosen with an organization that owned property in the downtown.

“We selected, in partnership with the City of Abbotsford, this project, knowing the site, knowing the location, and knowing the fact that it needed to be rezoned.”

Though the possibility of finding another location has been proposed, both ACS and BC Housing say a feasible alternative has yet to be presented.

Santiago said he is concerned about the prospect of choosing an alternative site, only to experience the same situation of other groups and residents calling for the project to be relocated.

Charges laid in Honduras murder Tim Vallee of Abbotsford killed one year ago Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A man accused of fatally shooting Tim Vallee of Abbotsford while he was vacationing in Honduras a year ago has been arrested and charged.

The Bay Islands Voice – on the island of Roatan – is reporting that Roger Natividad Ruiz Avila, 23, was arrested on the mainland last week after having been at large since the killing on Oct. 17, 2012.

He is now being held in prison awaiting trial on charges of aggravated robbery and “simple homicide.” The homicide charge carries a sentence of 15 to 20 years.

Co-accused Eon Carter Stewart, 30, of AVILA Roatan was arrested the day after the murder and was charged with having driven the vehicle used in the fatal armed robbery.

He has reportedly been in custody ever since, awaiting trial.

Vallee, whose full name is Themy Alexandre Vallee-Apostolakis, 34, was nearing the end of a 10-day vacation on Roatan at the time of the murder.

FILE PHOTO

Tim Vallee of Abbotsford was killed in Honduras last year. Charges have now been laid against the accused shooter.

He had been drinking in a bar and, when the establishment closed at midnight, he and a group of people he had befriended went in search of an afterhours facility.

A cab driver told them about a spot known as La Cueva, located in Coxen Hole, an isolated area not frequented by tourists.

Vallee did not like the place after they arrived, and the group decided to leave.

It is alleged that Avila had been drinking in the same bar and followed Vallee and his companions out to the parking lot. There, he and Stewart allegedly boarded a white pickup and drove up beside Vallee.

Avila allegedly got out of the vehicle, pointed a gun at Vallee and demanded his iPhone and cash. He is then accused of shooting Vallee in the head.

Vallee was taken to hospital, where he died about two hours later.

A warrant was issued for Avila’s arrest.

Vallee, who was a conservation officer with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, has been mourned by STEWART family and friends in Abbotsford and Quebec.

Vallee had moved to Abbotsford from Montreal about two years before the killing.

Shortly after the murder, his teammates from the close-knit Sports Zone Boltz men’s hockey team in Abbotsford sported patches with Vallee’s initials, “TV,” in memory of their friend.

Fourth gunpoint robbery in 22 days Convenience store latest target in spree Another Abbotsford business has been robbed at gunpoint, marking the fourth such incident in the city in 22 days.

The latest robbery took place just before 5:30 p.m. last Tuesday at a convenience store in the 2100 block of McKenzie Road.

A lone man brandishing a handgun confronted a 21-year-old female employee and demanded cash.

After obtaining money, he ran away southbound on McKenzie Road.

The culprit is described as Caucasian and 5’ 6” with a stocky build.

The man was wearing a grey hoodie with the hood pulled around his face and had a red-and-white bandana covering the lower part of his face.

He wore a baseball cap under the hood, sunglasses, light-coloured plaid shorts, light-coloured gloves, and black-and-white running

“The businesses have had minimal staff and, to this point, no customers in the premises when the suspect commits the robbery.”

MacDonald said despite the fact a lone suspect enters the premises, it does

not rule out the possibility that others are involved in the robberies by waiting nearby in a getaway vehicle.

He encourages business owners to “elevate their robbery awareness and security practices,” and ensure that video surveillance is operational.

MacDonald said the public is urged to report any suspicious activity in and around businesses.

The previous three robberies occurred Oct. 3 at a pizza restaurant in the 30400 block of Bluedridge Drive, Sept. 30 at a Subway restaurant in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way, and Sept.

City to redraft zoning bylaw Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

Abbotsford will redraft its “outdated� zoning bylaw to simplify the current system and make it easier for city staff and property owners to make changes to properties.

The city has awarded a contract of $175,000 to Urban Systems Limited (USL) to draft the city a completely new zoning bylaw.

When the District of Matsqui and the District of Abbotsford amalgamated in the mid-’90s, the zoning bylaws were merged into one. According to a staff report, the bylaws, dating back to 1985 and 1979, didn’t reflect the realities of the new Abbotsford, and pose many challenges for staff and property owners.

The report states the existing bylaw creates additional workload by using staff time and complicating zoning decisions made by council, and a new bylaw would streamline many decisions.

USL will draft the rewrite, as staff have concerns about the complexity of the task. The work will be funded through the gas tax agreement with three levels of government, which supplies the city with about $3 million each year.

The draft bylaw will eventually go to public consultation and is scheduled to be completed

by May 2014.

Already the new Campus Connector shuttle service completes over 1,200 passenger trips weekly via its two buses.

In fact, it is so popular that the bus fills up at some point every day – especially the early morning services – and students are left stranded, according to Student Union Society president Shane Potter. For example, there were 22 students turned away during the week Sept. 16–20.

The Student Union Society will soon launch a referendum to fund one additional bus Monday to Thursday, later runs on Friday on existing buses, and initiate a summer semester shuttle.

Students already pay $6.75 fee annually for the Campus Connector through their student fees.

They will have to nearly triple that to $17.75 annually to fund the service expansion.

“This call for more demand, it comes right out of the students. I get emailed, called, and Tweeted, and Facebooked every single day with students that are relying upon the service to get from one campus to another,” said Potter.

He added that students from other municipalities, such as Langley and Surrey, are also arriving in Abbotsford and relying on the Campus Connector to get to the Chilliwack campus.

According to Jody Gordon, vice-president of student services, it took Kwantlen Polytechnic University more than 18 months to reach UFV’s ridership figures when Kwantlen introduced its own shuttle bus to move students between the Langley and Surrey campuses.

UFV’s Campus Connector was approved as a

If students support an expansion of service next month, that would be a strong message to the administration that students want to extend the shuttle service beyond its first year, said Gordon.

Last week, the Fraser Valley Regional District green-lighted a BC Transit express bus to connect Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Langley potentially as early as September 2014.

The planned express bus will not have an immediate impact on the UFV shuttle. When an operational start date is confirmed, UFV will reassess its own shuttle service.

SUS member students will vote online in the final week of October on the proposal to expand the Campus Connector shuttle service.

Problem with pesticides

On the list of things humans need to lead a happy life, surely a well manicured, green lawn must be near the very bottom.

Yet, here we are, more than 50 years after Rachel Carson stunned the world with the publication of her book, Silent Spring, and the use of cosmetic pesticides continues.

Earlier this month, the B.C. Liberal government trumpeted changes to the rules regulating the use of cosmetic pesticides.

The bottom line is the changes still permit the use of those pesticides.

Why allow the use of cosmetic pesticides?

For a province brimming with green, weed-free, pest-free lawns?

Why ban the use of cosmetic pesticides?

Because the evidence is mounting that the use of pesticides, including herbicides can increase the risk of cancer,

from leukemia and lymphomas to brain cancer, lung cancer, kidney cancer and a few more.

A study by Bassil et al., published in 2007 in the Canadian Family Physician, reviewed the scientific literature on the potential effects of pesticides on human health.

Based on the review, the authors recommended a reduction in the use of pesticides, and based on the results of the study, the Ontario College of Family Physicians recommended everyone, especially children and pregnant women reduce exposure to pesticides.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities, led by then mayor of Kamloops, Terry Lake, passed a resolution supporting a ban on the sale and use of cosmetic pesticides.

Today, Lake is minister of the environment. What happened to the vision?

What happened to the conviction?

Silent spring, silent minister.

Not just a bell that could be tolling for thee Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand On the front of a Vancouver daily last week, the headline screamed “TOLL THEM ALL?” in question to a call by various municipalities, and I’m sure a pile of bike riders throughout Metro Vancouver, to toll all bridges and roads in the region.

All well and good I say, so long as the cyclists pay the same toll as motor vehicles.

After all, their use of road infrastructure is equal to that of a car, albeit with a considerably lighter footprint.

However, the motorist and all commercial and service vehicles which supply food and other products, already pay a hefty premium to use Metro’s roads and bridges – more than 45 cents per litre in fuel taxes alone.

However, I’m not here to battle bicycle use (I think our fall/winter/spring weather does that nicely enough), rather I ques-

tion why motorists are singled out as the seemingly only source of revenue to provide rapid transit.

If I want a new car or truck, I have to buy it, and pay for its operation. Thus, should not transit users be required to pony up the funds necessary – spread over countless years, based on “affordable” fares – to provide their rides?

If you want transit then you should be willing, or required as drivers are through gas taxes, to pay a rider fee that contributes not only to the operation, but acquisition, of the transit vehicles.

After all, drivers are already contributing for something they’re not using, so why shouldn’t those actually using transit pay a substantial fee as well?

The argument of course, is that the aim of transit is to get people out of cars. For many that works when there is transit available.

Back almost half a century ago, I lived in Vancouver’s West End. I had a car, and it stayed parked most of the time because it was quicker, easier and far cheaper to either walk, take a cab or ride the bus. Most trips were no more than a few blocks, and finding a parking spot on the street was

then, and still is today, akin to locating the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Let’s also be clear, I’m not against tolls or transit. I don’t mind contributing to the new Port Mann (though fortunately I rarely cross it), and I do remember tolls on the Lion’s Gate and (then) Deas Island Tunnel.

And for anyone who has travelled to the

After all, drivers are already contributing for something they’re not using, so why shouldn’t those actually using transit pay a substantial fee as well? central Interior, who can forget the $10 tab to cross the Coquihalla.

What I have learned, and Surrey/New Westminster is learning on the Patullo Bridge, is that people will do their damnedest to avoid paying tolls.

The Coq is a prime example, where often you would see four-wheelers pull off at the

Falls Lake exit, traverse the pipeline route and, circuitously, bypass the toll booths.

On the southeast side, enterprising drivers with time to spare could also divert well before the Great Bear Snowshed onto the long abandoned KVR right-of-way and eventually emerge at Coquihalla Lakes just north of the toll plaza.

A long, arduous but extremely scenic way of tax avoidance. How do I know?

Because I took both routes on a number of occasions, not so much because I couldn’t afford the fee but as a matter of principle. Back then, I didn’t value time as much as I do now. And by the way, both routes are still there though they were gated or made impassable not too long after the toll avoidance antics were realized.

The point however, is that people will try to circumnavigate tolling stations, which means that all those well-meaning, but money-grabbing, Metro municipal politicians who want “tolls on everything” may find their residential streets clogged with frustrated commuters who already believe they are contributing enough “to the greater good.” markrushton@abbynews.com

TOGETHER WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD...

Why are we worrying Re: “Science loses ground to superstition,� (B.C. Views, Oct. 2.) – It’s truly bewildering to see such a headline above yet even more of Tom Fletcher’s demagoguery towards David Suzuki – one who’s an ardent believer and follower of actual science.

If it’s actual science that Fletcher seeks, why does he conveniently overlook the blatant anti-science thinking and frightening policy of his bird-of-afeather Prime Minister Stephen Harper?

As one who’s spent some early years consuming fundamentalist Christian preaching and teaching, it’s clear that such theology does not at all concern itself with a healthy, pristine Earth eco-system. For, according to the Book of Revelations, Earth is to eventually be laid complete waste for a considerable period of time – if not permanently.

So, really, why worry about an unhealthy state of the planet’s environment?

An Abbotsford mom has successfully crowd-funded her project Alina KONEVSKI Abbotsford News

Jacqueline Ashby’s home is sunny, modest, and welcoming. Walking in to her small living room by the big window, one could think that the East Abbotsford mom has many more kids than just the one. Every wall and surface is designed with the child’s learning brain in mind, from child-height bookshelves to drawing boards to alphabet fridge magnets.

It’s Ashby’s love of encouraging learning and her community spirit that has motivated her to campaign for a Little Free Library in Abbotsford. “It promotes literacy. It encourages a sense of community.

A lot of people on the street still don’t know each other. It gets people out and talking to one another,� said Ashby, who holds a doctorate in education from Simon Fraser University.

A Little Free Library is generally a small wooden box perched within the community, full of books that residents can borrow for free. There’s no sign-out process, no maximum check-out time.

This is the first such library for the Fraser Valley. The other closest is in Surrey. There are eight LFLs scattered across B.C., and over 10,000 globally.

The support Ashby received online was similarly globalized.

Money flowed in from likeminded people from all over Canada and the U.S., and as far

as France, Germany, and Israel. “It’s been overwhelming to get that kind of support. I know I wasn’t asking for a lot of money, but it meant a lot to me to see that people believed in an idea that I believed in as well,� said Ashby.

With the funds, Ashby is purchasing materials to build and install the structure on her front lawn in the serene residential neighbourhood in the hills of Sumas mountain. She is planning for an official launch party in December.

The Abbotsford board of education is inviting public comment on a revised set of policies and administrative procedures that will be considered for approval at the next board meeting on Oct. 22.

These policies address such things as the student code of conduct, school catchment areas, the naming of school district facilities, and school closures.

They will replace the existing policy manual, which has been in place for several years.

The policies are accompanied by a new set of administra-

tive procedures – for example, for the roles of trustees and the board of education – which have been developed under the authority of Supt. Kevin Godden.

Board chair Cindy Schafer said the new structure “will SCHAFER better position the board to fulfill (our) vision for the district.

“Our board believes that the primary focus of a school

district is to improve student learning,” she said.

The board of education began the process in 2009 to review its governance structure.

This included a complete review and reconsideration of the policy structure currently in place.

Public comment on the new policies and administrative procedures is invited at the school district website, sd34.bc.ca.

The matter will be on the agenda for the meeting on Oct. 22, starting at 7 p.m. at the school board office, 2790 Tims St.

Health worker nominated as a ‘champion’

An Abbotsford man is a finalist for the Everyday Champion Award presented by the BC Patient Safety and Quality Council.

Bas Kervel is the manager of facilities and housekeeping at Abbotsford’s Menno Place, which cares for 700 residents.

Kervel was nominated for the award after he implemented a new system that

provides chemical-free cleaning, sanitizing and stain removal by infusing tap water with ozone.

He spent hundreds of hours, outside of his work day, researching possibilities for alternatives to the cleaning products that were causing allergic reactions among some housekeeping staff.

Kervel was also concerned about the impact on residents in Menno Place.

The Everyday Champion Award recognizes a person working in the health system who shows a passion and commitment for improving quality of care.

Kervel is among five finalists, and the recipient is determined by online votes from

the public. Voting closes Oct. 23 at bcpsqc.ca/bcquality-awards/everydaychampion-award/ The winner receives a $2,500 scholarship and will be announced in late October.

No jail time for driver in fatal crash

Fined $2,000 and handed 18-month driving prohibition Alina KONEVSKI Abbotsford News

A Mission man who rear-ended another vehicle, resulting in the death of two people, will not see jail time.

Steven Lineker, 36, was recently sentenced in Abbotsford provincial court to a $2,000 fine and an 18-month driving prohibition.

On Oct. 16, 2010, Lineker rear-ended a Chevy Cavalier on Lougheed Highway, between Manson Street and Dewdney Trunk Road. The Cavalier had stopped to make a left turn. The vehicle ended up being pushed into the opposite lane, where it collided with a Mazda Protege.

Anthony Shaves, 33, the driver of the Mazda, was killed, as was Lenore Hopkins, 76, the passenger of the Chevy.

The driver of the Chevy survived after spending months in a coma in hospital.

Crown counsel Wayne Norris argued at the sentencing hearing on Sept. 20, 2013 that Lineker was distracted.

He said phone records indicated that Lineker used his cellphone three times in the few minutes surrounding the collision.

Defence lawyer David Forsyth argued that Lineker was using a legal hands-free Bluetooth device for

the calls, and the last call occurred more than one minute before the crash.

Norris had recommended a jail term of four to six months, a $2,000 fine, and a fouryear driving prohibition.

The defence had recommended a fine, a driving suspension, and probation, acknowledging that if the judge felt a jail term was in order, then 10 to 21 days would be sufficient.

Norris said the judge’s sentence of a $2,000 fine and an 18-month driving ban is appropriate given the evidence presented.

Lineker was initially charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death and one count of dangerous driving causing bodily harm. He pleaded guilty earlier this year, after his trial had begun, to the lesser charge of driving without due care and attention. “There is a distinction between ‘dangerous driving,’ and ‘driving without due care and attention.’ The ‘dangerous driving’ has a much greater mental element to it,� said Norris. “In this case, the evidence disclosed that he was simply being inattentive. We started out with charging him ‘dangerous driving causing death,’ but as trial pro-

ceeded, the evidence simply did not unfold as we had anticipated.�

The result of this matter is in keeping with similar cases not only in B.C., but across the country, said Norris. “It’s very few cases where jail is actually given for this kind of offence.�

Lineker declined to address the court when offered the opportunity to do so by judge Gregory Brown before the sentence was passed.

Hopkins, who was fondly known throughout the community as “Ma,� helped start the Fraser Valley Toy Run

in 1987 and played a vital role in its success over the next 23 years.

She was killed the day before the 24th annual run, but the event proceeded in her memory.

Shaves had purchased a home with his girlfriend not long before the crash, and the two planned to marry.

In Friday’s win, Berra was supported by bigtime plays from rookie forwards Turner Elson and Corban Knight.

With the Heat trailing

1-0, Elson scored his first goal as a pro with 4.6 seconds left in the second period on a terrific hustle play.

After the teams exchanged goals in the third, Knight notched the OT winner.

Q The Heat hit the road this week for three

games in three days – Friday and Saturday at the Oklahoma City Barons, and Sunday at the Texas Stars. The next home dates are Oct. 25-26 vs. the Lake Erie Monsters.

highlighted by a terrific goaltending duel, and Reto Berra more than held up his end of the bargain.

The 26-year-old Swiss netminder went savefor-save with Magnus Hellberg, his counterpart in the Milwaukee Admirals’ crease, and helped the hosts earn three of a possible four points at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre.

Berra got the better of Hellberg and the Admirals on Friday, backstopping the Heat to a 3-2 overtime victory.

But Hellberg got his revenge on Saturday, leading Milwaukee to a 2-1 shootout win and a split of the weekend series.

“Reto was outstanding,” Heat centre Brett Olson summarized. “He made some saves that he probably shouldn’t

Focused or Filler: Most electricians prefer new construction or big projects and consider home renovations and repairs an interruption to their day. At Blue Crest Electric we focus on the homeowner. We love home renovations and take great pride in our installations. Our broad scope of knowledge and experience means that troubleshooting and problem solving are our specialty.

Appointments:

Most electricians don’t make actual appointments. Instead, they say something like, “I’ll be there Tuesday” or “some time next week”. Meanwhile you waste a lot of time waiting, wondering if you should risk going out in case he should show up. When you call Blue Crest Electric for an appointment, we arrange for our actual arrival time so you can go about your day with the least amount of inconvenience, and we keep our appointments.

Backups step to forefront

THE ABBOTSFORD ARTS COUNCIL PRESENTS

Bateman’s Swanberg, Mouat’s Dodd star on gridiron Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

“The Replacements” was the title of a football comedy starring Keanu Reeves, but it could also double as the theme of the weekend for two of Abbotsford’s senior high school football teams.

On Friday, the Bateman T-Wolves lost star running back Ben Cummings to injury in the second quarter of their crosstown clash with the Abby Senior Panthers. But in his absence, Talus Swanberg stepped up, racking up 130 rush yards to spark a 20-6 triumph.

“He had some big shoes to fill, and I think he did an excellent job,” said Bateman coach Alfred Brathwaite, whose squad also got TDs from Tanner Friesen (2) and Daniel Mills to overcome a determined Panthers team. “And our defence played an excellent game.”

It was similar story

across town at W.J. Mouat Secondary, where the Hawks were missing their own elite rusher on Saturday vs. Rutland – Maleek Irons was away on a family vacation.

But Jacob Dodd picked up the slack, rushing for four TDs and adding a fifth major on a pass from QB Hunter Struthers.

“He’s been a very good outside linebacker for us . . . but he got the opportunity to play both ways vs. Rutland, and he did an outstanding job,” said Mouat coach Denis Kelly, whose team also got big games from Manpreet Chhina (120 rush yards, one TD) and Jake Firlotte (55-yard interception return for a TD).

In other action, the Rick Hansen Hurricanes beat Pitt Meadows 23-7.

Devin DaCosta rushed for 149 yards and a TD on 20 carries, while Alex Ho threw a TD pass to Ricky Bhadesh and ran for a score himself. Brad Atkinson paced the defence with seven tackles.

Q Last week, the University of the Fraser Valley honoured 19 Cascades athletes who achieved Academic All-Canadian standards during the 2012-13 season.

Academic All-Canadians achieve a minimum 80 per cent average in their studies.

The Cascades women’s volleyball team won the President’s Shield, emblematic of the varsity squad with the highest GPA, for the fourth time in the six-year history of the award. The team combined for a 3.16 grade point average, proving that academic and athletic excellence is not an either/or proposition – they also won the CCAA national championship.

Academic All-Canadians included Mallory Donen and Brittany Stewart (women’s volleyball); Nicole Wierks, Sarah Wierks and Tessa Hart (women’s basketball); Danika Snook, Alanna Blumhagen and Kayla Klim (women’s soccer); Koby Byrne, Kree Byrne, Craig Robinson and Sahib Phagura (men’s soccer); Trevor Nickel (men’s volleyball); and Emmett Campbell, Hayden Averill, Lukasz Grabowski, Genevieve St. Martin, Bethany Tait and Stefanie Schoenberger (rowing).

Q The UBC Thunderbirds edged the Trinity Western Spartans in a five-set thriller in CIS men’s volleyball exhibition action last Thursday at Yale Secondary.

The game featured a pair of Yale grads in UBC’s Ian Perry and TWU’s Brad Kufske, along with MEI product Tyler Koslowsky of the Spartans.

Trinity Western looked to be in control after winning the second and third sets, but UBC bounced back to win the next two and claim the match (25-18, 15-25, 24-26, 25-19, 15-10).

Q The Eugene Reimer Ravens dropped a hard-fought 24-14 decision to the G.W. Graham Grizzlies of Chilliwack in Grade 8 football action last week.

The Ravens built a 14-0 lead at halftime behind a pair of touchdowns by Anthony Pham, while Arvin Sharma notched a two-point convert, but the Grizzlies rallied after the break. Pham and Sharma picked up player of the game awards for offence and defence, respectively, while Tanveer Kaler was the top lineman.

Q A youth curling team from the Abbotsford Curling Club won three of its first four matches in the Optimist Junior Interclub Curling League.

The local squad, featuring Talor Mykle-Winkler, Megan Bourassa, Natasha Cummings and Erica Nangle, and coached by Michelle Baratelli, won their first two games on Sept. 30, and split their matches in the second date of the Optimist league season on Oct. 6.

ON A SET OF ALL SEASON OR WINTER TIRES

Thanks to their special compound, winter tires offer the elasticity required to ensure maximum grip throughout the cold season, regardless of the road conditions.

Summer tires can become hard when the temperatures fall below 7 degrees Celsius, thereby losing the flexibility needed to build up sufficient grip for braking, starting off, and cornering. Because of their greater suppleness in the cold, winter tires are able to interlock with the asphalt, snow, and ice, even at lower temperatures.

BARLEY Priscilla Elaine (Woollacott)

Dr. Hans Waldmann passed away peacefully on Monday, October 7, 2013 with his beloved family by his side.

Dad was born in Stettin, Germany in 1920. He moved to Canada in 1952 and went on to become a Radiologist and was the Chief Radiologist at the Westcoast General Hospital in Port Alberni for many years. He also practiced in Comox, Parksville, Cumberland and Campbell River. Dad was a passionate animal lover for the 92 years he was alive.

Throughout his life, he would always take the time to help or save an animal, including stopping on the highway to rescue a German shepherd that someone had thrown out of a truck. Dad leaves behind many people who loved him dearly including his loving wife of 53 years, Mary Ann; his daughters, Claire (Gary) Conrad, Carol (Eric Picard) Waldmann; and his four grandchildren: Caitlin, Carolyn, Kira and Dmitri. His wonderful sense of humour, warm heart and generous spirit will be sadly missed. We love you and will miss you every day Dad. Rest in peace. Donations can be made to the SPCA at http://support.spca.bc.ca/goto/ Hans_Waldmann.
