Aquilini re-ignites speculation Canucks’ co-owner says to ‘ask mayor’ about farm team relocation Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

There’s been much conjecture over the past year about the possibility of the Vancouver Canucks moving their AHL affiliate to Abbotsford, and Francesco Aquilini coyly fanned the flames of that speculation Friday evening. Speaking with videographer Kevin MacDonald prior to a game between the Abbotsford Heat and the Utica Comets, the Canucks’ co-owner was asked if there was any chance the Vancouver farm team might eventually end up playing out of the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. “I don’t know – you’ve got to ask this gentleman right here,” Aquilini said gesturing to Abbotsford mayor Bruce Banman,

Canada’s #1 Central Vacuum

who was accompanying him through the back entrance of the arena. The City of Abbotsford and Canucks ownership had engaged in talks in the spring after the Vancouver NHL club acquired the AHL’s Peoria Rivermen from the St. Louis Blues. Rumours swirled that the Rivermen franchise was ticketed for Abbotsford, with the Heat (owned by and affiliated with the Calgary Flames) exiting for Utica, N.Y. Lane Sweeting, whose Fraser Valley Sports and Entertainment (FVSE) group runs the Heat’s business operations, said that FVSE and the Flames had given the city and the Canucks “the opportunity to make a deal.” But in late April, Banman confirmed that talks with the Canucks had reached a stalemate. The Rivermen fran-

chise ended up in Utica and were dubbed the Comets. Banman told MacDonald, “You never know, it’s never over till it’s over. I’m just excited to have a great hockey team [the Heat] here in the arena.” Speaking with the News after the Comets’ 3-2 win, Banman downplayed the notion that his interaction with Aquilini signalled that negotiations are ongoing, and chuckled at Aquilini’s smiling assertion that the Canucks affiliate’s potential arrival was up to the Abbotsford mayor. “The mayor doesn’t have a magic wand,” he said. “There’s always hope, but to be honest with you, he [Aquilini] was just here to watch his team and see how his farm team’s doing.”

Letter’s origin a mystery

Some businesses in downtown Abbotsford last week received a “declaration of war” signed by the “Abbotsford Downtown Homeless Association.” The letter states that “we, the homeless of Abbotsford declare downtown as our home… We have the right to evict any and all businesses in downtown as we reserve the right as free citizens of Abbotsford to do so.” The letter comes after the city posted notice last week calling for occupants of a homeless protest camp in Jubilee Park to vacate the area. Barry Shantz, founder of the Abbotsford chapter of the BC/Yukon Drug War Survivors and organizer of the

homeless protest camp in Jubilee Park, said the letter did not come from his group. “It’s definitely not us… When we write anything, we proudly display our logo and we proudly stand up and say it in public.” The letter goes on to say that the group is declaring war and businesses have 30 days to evict their premises. Tina Stewart, executive director of the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association, said the organization is “taking it quite seriously,” but is currently allowing police to deal with the situation. Const. Ian MacDonald said they are investigating the matter, but at this point are unaware of the letter’s origins.

COATS COLLECTED

H H is for HOPE Hope for a dignified and peaceful death, hope that my family will be taken care of when I’m gone. JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News

Members of the Singh Motorcycle Club unloaded more than 100 bags of coats Sunday that they donated to the Abbotsford News-Salvation Army Coats for Kids Campaign. The Singh Club is an active community group involved with the Abbotsford field hockey, wrestling and Sada Virsa Sada Gaurav Bhangra clubs.

More men than women issued driving tickets

H is for HOSPICE We are Abbotsford Hospice abbotsfordhospice.org

The latest driving statistics released by the Abbotsford Police Department indicate that men are receiving more tickets than women in three key categories – speeding, distracted and impaired driving. Const. Ian MacDonald said Abbotsford’s driving population currently breaks down into 50.51 per cent male versus 49.44 per cent female, but men account for 67 per cent of tickets for distracted driving and 84

per cent for impaired driving. Of drivers who speed, 66 per cent are men. MacDonald said the numbers remain disproportionate through all age brackets. Overall, men have received almost 71 per cent of the violation tickets from 2010 to present. MacDonald said the figures were not released to suggest that women are better drivers. “Instead, we hope these sta-

tistics challenge all drivers to review and reflect on their driving behaviours. The truth is we can all do better.” At the beginning of 2013, the Abbotsford Police Department made road safety its top priority after a year that saw nine traffic-related fatalities. Messaging throughout the year has included the release of a video that showed a pedestrian being hit by a car and posters showing the results of collisions.

Goddard arrested in Maple Ridge High-risk sex offender was on the lam A high-risk sex offender who lured young boys through social media was arrested Thursday in Maple Ridge after being on the lam since the beginning of the month. Acting on several tips, the Surrey RCMP’s High Risk Target Team (HRTT) found and apprehended Jeffery Allan Goddard at an apartment complex after a “brief negotiation.” Surrey Mounties issued a warrant for Goddard’s arrest Nov. 1 for breaching a probation order.

He was again sentenced to jail – 180 days – and completed that term in January of this year. After his release in January, Goddard lived in Surrey. His probation order prohibits him from communicating with people under the age of 18 and using social networking sites or any electronic device capable of accessing the Internet.

Teenage boy attacked in Mill Lake Park The Abbotsford Police Department is looking for witnesses to an incident in which a teen boy was attacked and left unconscious. Const. Ian MacDonald said the assault took place Tuesday, Nov. 12 at about 5 p.m., when a 13-year-old boy was walking through Mill Lake Park. He entered the park from Ware Street and was walking south around the perimeter

of the lake. The boy believes he was attacked by a person, possibly armed with a weapon, because he briefly lost consciousness and awoke on the ground with an unknown witness offering assistance. The boy eventually made his way home, and the incident was reported to police the following day. The victim suffered a bruise

to his head. Police would like to speak to the witness, who is described as a Caucasian man with a slim build, a slight goatee and wearing a grey hoodie, jogging pants and runners. They would also like to speak to anyone else who might have seen what occurred. Anyone with information is asked to call the APD at 604-859-5225 or text 222973 (abbypd).

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2013

End occupation of park A “protest” camp established in Jubilee Park more than a month ago has gone beyond its initial claim of raising awareness of local homelessness. After weeks of tolerating about 30 people living in the park, the City of Abbotsford has had to resort to seeking a court order to clear the public site, since the occupants were given 48-hours notice to vacate last Wednesday, but refused. There is no question that the manner in which homelessness in Abbotsford was thrust into the public spotlight in June was deplorable – with city crews spreading chicken manure on a popular camp. Since then, however, there has been considerable dialogue about the issue, as well as a viable, provincially funded proposal for a men’s shelter in the downtown area. However, the protest in Jubilee Park has become an occupation, with the Abbotsford chapter of the BC/Yukon Drug

War Survivors clearly determined to continue an increasingly strident message. We agree solutions for the homeless must be found. The city could and should have taken a more pro-active approach to this point. It still can show problem-solving initiative. However, the occupants of Jubilee Park have overstayed their welcome and are straining public empathy. No one else would be allowed to pitch a tent and light a campfire in a downtown park. This is a public space. Numerous residents have said they now avoid taking their children there. That’s not right. The camp contravenes the city’s parks bylaw, and numerous safety concerns and incidents of criminal activity, including open drug use and fire safety violations, have been cited by authorities. The city has taken appropriate action by seeking a B.C. Supreme Court injunction to clear the camp. We expect the court to grant it.

Must give respect to earn respect, and help Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand The other day, when the weather was still mild, I figured it was time to blow all the leaves off the driveway and dispose of them. Not one to stint on tools, I had previously acquired the most powerful blower known to man … well, that might be a slight exaggeration though it is touted as the strongest hand-held. Thus armed with the ultimate, I managed to clear the driveway and created a rather large windrow on the lawn. It was then that I discovered trying to blow leaves into a pile is somewhat akin to herding cats. Not a lot of co-operation on the part of the leaves, or for that matter any from inanimate object. It was then that I resorted to a rake, but being plastic they are not anything as ef-

fective as the old bamboo ones that were once ubiquitous in every garden shed. Whatever happened to them anyway … panda bears eat them all or what? At least with bamboo, I was able to use something that was presumably from a sustainable source as opposed to oil-based plastic manufacture. Regardless, the leaves were finally gathered, loaded into the trailer and will soon be deposited in the compost bunker back of the barn. Not so successful are the city’s efforts to control the “homeless” situation, exacerbated I might point out, by the earlier ill-conceived decision to dump chicken manure in an encampment area. You can’t herd people like leaves, or cats, and you can’t essentially poke them in the eye, which essentially was what the manure distribution did. What the city didn’t seem to understand is that such decisions attract those who can and will speak up and, with ‘outside’ financial support, have the wherewithal to counteract almost anything the city does in mitigation. Not only that, with the empowerment of activists there is now a rampant sense of

entitlement by those who pose as homeless, but in reality are no more than anarchists who sense an opportunity to try to seize control. For example, a manifesto entitled Declaration of War has surfaced claiming “we have the right to every street, alley

You can’t herd people like leaves, or cats, and you can’t essentially poke them in the eye ... and building . . . we have the right to evict any and all businesses . . . we don’t want you here.” Tell me that and I tell you, it is time to take back control of our city. In the meantime those who are truly homeless, who are mentally challenged or drug-addicted, will see no benefit from the actions of anarchy. They’ll still live in tarp-covered cardboard boxes, live handto-mouth and continue to suffer long after

the activists have won, or lost, and gone on to other things. That will only change if the city, and truly well-meaning people, step up and provide serviced accommodation. There is provincial funding in place for such but, like everything, if the dithering continues that funding will go elsewhere. There’s only so much money to go around. Let’s face it, those who live on our streets in appalling conditions aren’t going away, so somewhere safe, and warm, where they can be accommodated and helped with the demons that plague them must be found or built. On the other hand, it will take a commitment on behalf of those who supposedly speak for, and advocate for, the homeless and addicted to respect those of us who will provide the funding, the support and the desire to bring resolution. If you want my help, and like so many others I’m willing to give it, you have to respect me to earn mine. Presenting a “Declaration of War” is not the way to accomplish that, or anything else. markrushton@abbynews.com

letters Tax dollars should only be used for public purposes Re: Independents do not draw money from public schools, says minister, Nov. 29 edition. I did a double take and re-read several times Minister of Education Peter Fassbender’s comment, “What was reinforced is, when you have a school like this, where parents make the choice to come to an independent school,

there is a higher degree of commitment to that journey for the kids, so that’s a good thing. But I see a lot of that in public schools too. And I don’t compare one to the other.” I find that comment incredibly offensive. Mr. Fassbender, are you implying that parents who send their children to public schools

do not have as high a degree of commitment to their child’s educational journey? Or that teachers in the public school system are not as committed as teachers in independent schools? And how can you state that you do not compare the two? You just did in the same breath. How can you state

that the 35-50 per cent funding independent schools receive does not draw resources from the public school system? Of course it does. This funding would otherwise be infused into the public school system where it belongs. MEI is an independent school, a school of choice, although

not truly a choice for a lot of families, and I frankly do not want my tax dollars supporting a tiered educational system. If you choose to send your child to an independent school, then pay for it... fully. Tax dollars are meant to support public programs, institutions, roadways, and such, not independent or pri-

vate infrastructure. It’s tantamount to B.C. MSP deciding to subsidize private surgery, tests,

and treatments for those who can afford to have that choice. Maureen Norton

Inquest into inmate’s death

D L R E E HV O

The BC Coroners Service has announced that a public inquest will be held into the death of Kevin Neil Cuthbertson. The inquest will begin Feb. 11 at 9 a.m. at the Coroners Court in Burnaby. Cuthbertson, 32, died on March 25, 2012 after being found unresponsive in his cell at Matsqui Institution in Abbotsford by his cellmate. Presiding coroner Tara Devine and a jury will hear evidence from subpoenaed witnesses to determine the facts surrounding this death. While the jury may not, by law, make any findings of legal responsibility, it will have the opportunity to make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances in the future. At the time of his death, Cuthbertson was serving a three-year two-month sentence for unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession of a weapon contrary to prohibition order.

Chamber awards community grants $2,500 given to three organizations The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce awarded community grants totalling $2,500 to three Abbotsford organizations at its November luncheon. The Community Grant Program was created this year to provide financial assistance to non-profit, community-based organizations that provide direct programs, services or activities that enhance the quality of life for Abbotsford residents. The main focus areas of the grants are social services, health, the arts, culture, heritage and the environment. The year’s recipients are the Abbotsford Arts Council for its workshop series “The Art of Marketing,” the Abbotsford Youth Commission for its after-school nutrition program for youth centres, and the Atangard Community Project

Society for the Jam In Jubilee summer concert series and art market. “The members of the Chamber of Commerce are active participants in all aspects of life in our city and this is a way for us to support some of the organizations and events that make Abbotsford such a tremendous place in which to work, live and play,” said Abbotsford Chamber president Mike Welte. “This is the first year and we received 11 grant applications which were carefully considered by our panel of board members. There were a lot of great projects proposed which made the choice that much more difficult,” Welte added. Representatives of each of the organizations were in attendance at the luncheon and were presented with cheques.

Two vacancies filled at municipal hall Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

Two vacant senior management positions at city hall have been filled. The city’s new general manager of planning and development services, Siri Bertelsen, joined the city on Nov. 18. Bertelsen worked at the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) for more than 19 years, most recently as the director of regional programs. In that position, she oversaw the delivery of services from the regional parks, environmental ser-

vices, strategic planning and initiatives, First Nations relations, as well as 911 and fire dispatch departments. The city’s new director of finance, Lisa Pleadwell, will start work Jan. 2. She will take over all aspects of the municipality’s financial management, as well as oversight responsibilities for the purchasing function. Pleadwell currently serves as the director of corporate services at the FVRD in Chilliwack. She previously held positions as the director of finance at School District 34, the manager of financial

systems at Fraser Health Authority, regional director of financial planning at Fraser Valley Health Region, as well as spending a number of years heading up a corporate services section of a postsecondary institution. Other recent additions to city hall include deputy city manager, Jake Rudolph, who took up the post in October. The deputy city manager position was created after the city announced restructuring efforts following the hiring of George Murray, who began as city manager in February.

With more donations offered than needed for Napoleon, Dunlop told potential donors they could give to other animals in need. The SPCA received enough to provide medical care for two more dogs at the shelter. “It’s been a great response.” Napoleon was surrendered to the BC SPCA through a cruelty investigation Nov. 8.

A dog that was left tied to a tree for much of its life – without adequate food, water and shelter – will receive muchneeded surgery thanks to the generosity of the public. Napoleon, a dogue de Bordeaux, had been brought to the Abbotsford SPCA in need of major dental surgery as well as entropian surgery – an extremely painful condition where the eyelashes grow into the eyes – on both lower lids. The SPCA asked the public for donations to help pay for the surgeries. The response was so

Thousands of signatures still needed in Abbotsford Alina KONEVSKI Abbotsford News

A pro-pot campaign that has struggled from the start in Abbotsford is nowhere near its target during its last days. Sensible B.C. has been on a mission since Sept. 9 to gather 400,000 signatures across the province in support of an act to decriminalize small cases of marijuana possession. The campaign needs the signatures of 10 per cent of registered voters in every provincial riding in order for the act to qualify for referendum. Organizers estimate that fewer than half of the required 13,000 signatures in the three Abbotsford ridings have been collected. “It’s not going as well as I had expected or anticipated There’s still strong resistance to what we’re trying to accomplish here,” said Gordon Finch, organizer for Abbotsford-South. The campaign official-

number of signatures. Coughlan has been critical of tactics used in Abbotsford, which she calls “in your face.” Loudspeakers and costumes work in a city like Vancouver, she said, but Abbotsford requires a different approach. “It’s just a different entity here,” she said. “There were a lot of bad decisions in Abbotsford…The problem with a grassroots organization like this is you need to take what you can get. Sometimes people are so passionate, or so driven, that bad decisions are made.” Finch disagreed that the campaign has used inappropriate tactics, and that having the “cannabus” at Jubilee Park may have resulted in lost support. “I don’t think that’s the case. From what I saw, the bus was off to the side … It definitely garnered support,” he said.

It is a rare trait for a dog to absorb emotions from humans effortlessly, as Mac does. “You would never know that he’s had a long hard day at work. That he’s had four students in crisis crying into his fur, because he acts as he would every day. It takes a very unique dog to do this work. They’re very, very rare,” said Holt. She describes Mac as a “unique combination of empathy, unconditional understanding, and goofiness.” According to Holt, Mac is the world’s first registered therapy dog based at a university. “When we first came here, the university said, ‘This is groundbreaking. Let’s try it out, and let’s keep it slightly under the radar, because this is brand new. It’s a little unsure whether this will work or not.’” The Burnaby-based non-profit, Pacific Assistance Dogs Society (PADS), owns Mac and re-certifies him annually. Holt is the one who has lived with Mac for eight years, and trusted him with her UFV clients for six. Mac will continue serving as a PADS dog for another few years before retiring and becoming Holt’s pet.

Toys for Tots raises nearly $16K for food bank, Christmas Bureau Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The first Toys for Tots event held Friday morning in Abbotsford collected almost $16,000 in cash and more than 900 toys for the Abbotsford Food Bank and Christmas Bureau. More than 500 people turned up for the event, which invited the public to drop off cash and/ or toy donations in exchange for a free buffet breakfast. Toys for Tots was held at the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre in partnership with Envision Financial. Food bank manager Dave Murray was overwhelmed by the turnout, saying organizers had expected perhaps 300 people. He met with Judy Sweeting, owner of the Ramada in Abbotsford, and Christine Lane, director of sales and marketing, over the summer to discuss the proposal. They loved the idea, and over the following

Duo studying at music school in London From A20

He is a three-time grand prize winner of the Canadian Music Competition and, in 2003, was invited to perform in the retirement concert for former Prime Minister Jean Chretien, sharing the stage with artists such as Oliver Jones, Paul Anka and Oscar Peterson. Chan and Bislin began were once rivals of music festivals, but as they matured – under the simultaneous tutelage of Taras Gabora of Canada and Anne Shih of Germany – they saw how their passions complemented one another. Recently, they began performing as the duo Memento, which has 30,000 followers – and growing – on YouTube. They are now both studying at the Guildhall School of Music in London, England. They are presenting their Abbotsford concert while home for the holidays as a fundraiser to help offset education costs. Tickets are $20 general and $15 for seniors/ youth. Non-perishable items will also be collected for the Abbotsford Food Bank. Tickets are available at House of James, King’s Music, Sound of Music, ABC Christian Store, Abbotsford Food Bank, and by phone at 604-2263111 or 604-309-4823.

ly has a base interim team, but a formal team is being organized for games taking place in January and beyond.

Abby out-shoots Canucks affiliate but loses twice Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

If you were looking for a biting critique of the Abbotsford Heat in the wake of a two-game weekend sweep on home ice at the hands of the Utica Comets, Troy Ward was the wrong guy to be talking to. The Heat head coach found a lot of positives, and rightly so, in the way his team performed. On Friday, Abbotsford boasted a 37-17 edge in shots, and by Ward’s count, a 25-6 advantage in scoring chances, yet fell 3-2 as two of Utica’s goals went in off the skates of Heat players. On Saturday, the Heat had a decisive shots-ongoal edge (36-27) for the second straight night, but lost 4-3 on Pascal Pelletier’s overtime winner. Ward was heartened at the fact his team carried the play for the most part, despite missing recently recalled forwards Paul Byron and Max Reinhart, along with half of the defensive corps due to injury.

Utica Comets goalie Joe Cannata picked up his first two wins of the season on the weekend vs. the Abbotsford Heat. “In general, I had no complaints,” Ward summarized. “Our structure was good, and we had almost 40 shots again (on Saturday), with brand new team in a lot of ways – a lot of different parts moving in and moving out. To play that well both games (and lose) . . . that’s hockey.” The games drew 4,260 and 4,984 fans, respectively, eager to watch the Vancouver Canucks’ affiliate. Canucks fans got a treat on Saturday

as Utica rookie centre Kellan Lain, signed by the organization in the spring, notched his first two goals as a pro. “It’s definitely exciting,” Lain said afterward. “I’ve been working hard for it, and I had a lot of chances the first 20 or so games.” The Heat (17-6-2, 35 points) still lead the AHL in points, while the Comets (6-11-2, 14 points) have moved from last overall to 29th out of 30.

Cascades take three of four vs. UBC

Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

After running a gauntlet of teams ranked in the top five nationally in recent weeks, the University of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball squad has emerged better for the experience. The Cascades registered an impressive homecourt sweep of the UBC Thunderbirds on the weekend, winning 69-62 on Friday and 71-63 on Saturday to even their record at 5-5 heading into the Christmas break. “We’ve faced some really good teams who have shown us what we weren’t so good at,” Cascades coach Adam Friesen said, alluding to recent losses to the Victoria Vikes, Alberta Golden Bears and Saskatchewan Huskies. “We accepted the lessons and we got to work during the week at practice, and we’re starting to improve. It’s great to see.” On Friday, the Cascades raced out to a 24-10 lead after the first quarter and fended off UBC’s subsequent comeback attempts. Saturday’s game was closer throughout – UFV rallied to take a 52-51 lead at the end of the third quarter, then pulled away down the stretch with Kevon Parchment snaring a series of crucial rebounds and Manny Dulay hitting a pair of clutch threepointers. Parchment had an absolutely massive weekend for the Cascades – he stuffed the stat sheet with 20 points, 12 rebounds and six assists on Friday, and racked up 26 points, 15 boards and four steals on Saturday. UFV WOMEN SHAKE SCORING SLUMP Coming off road losses to Alberta and Saskatchewan the previous weekend, the UFV women’s squad found its reservoir of offensive confidence at a low ebb. It evaporated further on Friday, as unranked UBC came into the Envision Athletic Centre and scored a 56-54 upset win. The No. 6-ranked Cascades got off to a horrendous

CBC volleyball men finish semester strong

Two of Abbotsford’s PacWest volleyball programs sit in first place heading into the Christmas break, but one of them carries a bit more momentum. That would be the Columbia Bible College men’s squad, who swept

didn’t play any competitive volleyball at all last year, and one of our starters is playing a completely new position,” head coach Phil Wiens said, tracing his team’s growth curve. “We’ve been learning how to play as a team, how to play nice and steady ball, and whose role in what on the floor. We’ve been seeing some real nice results the last few weeks, and coming into this weekend, it just came together.” The University of the Fraser Valley women, meanwhile, had cruised through the first semester, winning their first 12 games, but hit a speed bump last weekend, suf-

The CBC women are also in sixth place at 3-11, having dropped both games at Camosun on the weekend. On the PacWest basketball scene, the Bearcats men’s and women’s teams were both swept on the road. The men (2-6) fell 80-61 to the Quest Kermodes and 82-71 to the Capilano Blues, while the women (1-7) lost to 96-30 to Quest and 67-43 to Capilano.

The Cascades, the defending national champs who came in ranked No. 1 in the nation, lost both nights in straight sets. “We didn’t do very many things well, and VIU played very well,” Cascades coach Dennis Bokenfohr said. “Basically, our game comes down to how well we serve and how well you pass their serve, and we did both of those things poorly. “It kind of makes you appreciate the winning a bit more, because we’ve had a lot of the success for a while now.

DON’T OPEN YOUR HOOD TO STRANGERS

MEI’s Levi Funk (6) and Calder Funk go up for a block vs. Carson Heppell of Langley Fundamental at provincials.

Eagles bronzed at provincials Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

The Mennonite Educational Institute senior boys volleyball team had to fight harder than usual for their spot on the provincial podium, but they managed to claw their way to a bronze medal in Kelowna on the weekend. The Eagles, who held the No. 1 ranking in the AA tier before falling to Langley Fundamental in the Fraser Valley final, went 1-2 during roundrobin power-pool action on Thursday. That left them seeded third heading into the playoffs, where they opened with straightsets wins over SaHali of Kamloops and Nanaimo District to

earn a rematch with Langley Fundamental in the semis. MEI ended up falling in four sets (25-22, 25-17, 22-25, 34-32), but rebounded to beat Okanagan Mission (2522, 19-25, 25-13, 25-21) for the bronze. Langley Fundamental went on to beat Langley Christian in an all-Langley final. The Eagles have now climbed the podium at 12 straight AA provincial tourneys, with eight gold medals, one silver and three bronzes in that span. Ben Lieuwen was named a first team provincial all-star, while Jordan Loewen was a second-teamer and Jordan Koslowsky was an honourable mention.

The Abbotsford Falcons junior bantam Black squad had played near-flawless football en route to the B.C. community football championship game. But on Sunday, facing the South Delta Rams at Langley’s McLeod Athletic Park, the Falcons were done in by uncharacteristic errors and ended up losing 47-8. The Falcons marched the ball up and down the field, but penalties and fumbles in crucial moments stalled the offence time and time

again. “All our games were almost mistake-free, until this final,” head coach Luis Garcia said with a wry chuckle. “All the mistakes we didn’t make back then, we did them in this game.” Samwel Uko scored the Falcons’ lone touchdown, and Tyson Reid booted the convert. Despite the loss, it was a tremendous season for the Abby squad, which was undefeated coming in. “The kids came together as a team very well,” Garcia said. “They showed a lot of maturity.”

Tourneys at Mouat, Abby, Hansen Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

The high school basketball season gets going in earnest this week, with a series of major tournaments set for tip-off locally. Q W.J. Mouat Secondaryâ€™s Century 21 Classic has grown into one of B.C.â€™s most anticipated early-season senior girls tourneys in recent years, and the Hawks welcome another tough and talented field this week. Among the provincially ranked AAA teams in attendance are No. 3 Oak Bay, No. 5 South Kamloops, No. 8 Claremont, and honourable mentions Kelowna and Maple Ridge.

Semifinals run at 7 and 8:45 p.m. on Friday at Mouat, and the finals are at 4 p.m. Saturday.

Don’t grieve for me, for now I am free I’m following the path God has laid you see, I took His hand when I heard His call I turned my back and left it all; I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found my peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void Then ﬁll it with remembered joys; A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss O yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee God wanted me now, He set me free.

COOPER Babs Our Babs passed away on November 19, 2013. She was surrounded by people who loved her and she passed peacefully. Babs had an incredible influence on everyone who knew her. For those of us who were fortunate enough to be close to her there are no words to describe the extent of our gratitude for her presence in our lives, nor the loss now that she is not with us. We are all much better people because of her. She is survived by son Jim and daughter Sharon-Belle, many grandchildren as well as many others who loved her like family. Babs requested there be no ceremony or service and we will honor her wishes. With the blessing of Trish and Brian Haber, there will be a bench placed in front of the Clayburn Village Store and Teahouse in memory of Babs and Coop. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Food Bank or the Angel Trees at Seven Oaks would be appreciated. â€œShe lived as Babs and passed as Babs and the world is a better placeâ€?.
