Fourth surgery for little Joshua Baby born with congenital heart condition Vikki HOPES

HADWIN WINS AGAIN

Abbotsford News

oshua Taekema was awakening after his third surgery, at just five months of age, when he looked up at the nurse tending to him and gave her a precious smile before drifting back to sleep. The gesture is indicative of Joshua’s calm and happy nature, despite a short life filled with medical interventions and extended hospital stays. Today (Wednesday), the Abbotsford infant is scheduled for his fourth operation – open-heart surgery in which he will receive a donor artery to replace 90 per cent of his damaged one. Joshua was diagnosed shortly after his birth on Oct. 18, 2013, with tetralogy of fallot, a congenital heart defect which can lead to heart failure if not repaired. Joshua’s mom, Rachel Gammon, says the baby’s heart is turned in his chest so that it faces the left side of his torso. He has an aorta that lies over the pulmonary valve, instead of under it, and then passes between the chambers. This results in oxygen-poor blood flowing out of the heart and to the rest of the body. As a consequence, Joshua has shortness of breath, weakness, fatigue and occasional “tet spells” in which his skin turns blue due to a rapid drop of oxygen in his body. He has also been unable to gain sufficient weight. At almost a year old, he is about 13 and a half pounds – the size of an average three-month-old baby – and is not yet crawling or sitting up on his own. Continued on A7

Homelessness task force presents action plan

Inside

Walmart

1812 Vedder W ay, Abbotsford

Council approves recommendations in principle Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

“Abbotsford, a city where everyone has a home.” That’s the slogan on the pages of Abbotsford’s draft action plan to address homelessness, created by the city’s task force and presented to council on Monday. Cherie Enns, the task force’s co-ordinator, presented the plan the committee has been working on since April. Council voted to approve the plan in principle, with Coun. John Smith, co-chair of the task force, saying it would send a signal to the community that the city is ready to “get some of these things done.” Abbotsford’s last homeless count, held earlier this year, reported 151 homeless people in the community. The plan notes the importance of facilitating a housing-first approach, focused on getting people housed rapidly with no readiness requirements, such as being drug- or alcohol-free. One recommendation is for the city to hire an experienced housing and homeless co-ordinator to work with organizations to provide more housing and implement the action plan. The plan also suggests the creation of a housing and homelessness advisory committee – similar to the task force – to continue to advise council on the issues of homelessness, as well as the establishment of a “housing-first centre” to connect various community agencies and organizations. The report notes a priority for a housing co-ordinator is to source funding and partners to develop at least 50 to 60 housing units, including low-barrier options – suggested in the Fraser Valley Regional District’s draft 2014 homeless survey – as part of a spectrum of housing options needed in the community. The reports notes the desired outcome is that no one lives outside for more than 30 days and no one leaves the shelter to return

to the street. As part of homelessness prevention, the task force suggests fast tracking the consideration of recovery home applications for established operators, and implementing food security programs with a focus on families living in poverty. It also called for the city to advocate for funding for an assertive community treatment team (ACT) – a frontline mental health program that focuses on providing outreach services to those in need for the central Fraser Valley region (Abbotsford and Mission). Surrey, the Tri-Cities and New Westminster are currently serviced by ACT teams which are provided through Fraser Health. The committee suggests the process to hire the proposed housing co-ordinator be initiated immediately and all the other recommendations be implemented within three years. Coun. Dave Loewen asked if there was any consideration on “outdoor living” as part of the housing spectrum. “I would think it has something to say about things like the Dignity Village.” A proposal for a village of transitional housing for homeless people, or Dignity Village, has been put forward in Abbotsford on Valley Road off the Abbotsford-Mission Highway. Loewen said that he has some reservations about the idea, but was curious about the task force’s response. Enns said the task force discussed the concept, but “the task force strongly supports housing first, which is permanent, longterm solutions to housing...” Another focus of the report is that the city should promote awareness, inclusiveness and respect within the city in regard to homelessness. Coun. Braun said he felt that was a key issue and “is something that we as a community need to work hard on.” The report will go to staff for review and will return to council with options on how to implement recommendations on Oct. 6.

A 23-year-old woman involved in a crash Friday morning in Abbotsford died in hospital the same day.

‘Significant decline’ in gang killings: annual report CFSEU community report notes more big cases go to trial in 2015 Jeff NAGEL Black Press

A recent drop in gang violence now has B.C.’s anti-gang police unit looking to the courts for closure on several major outstanding cases, including several that have Abbotsford links. Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) chief officer Kevin Hackett said the “significant decline” in organized crime homicides comes after a series of high-profile investigations leading to charges, as well as new initiatives to prevent or reduce gang membership. His comments were published Monday in the unit’s 2014 annual community report. It can be found online at bc-anti-gang.com. The Abbotsford Police Department is among the police agencies that is involved in the CFSEU, with local members assigned to the unit. The number of gang-related killings in B.C. fell to 13 last year from 18 in 2012 and has been cut by almost twothirds from the 36 gang murders committed in 2009. Nearly 100 organized crime figures or gang-related individuals were arrested

and charged last year with more than 270 offences in close to 30 B.C. communities, Hackett said. The report’s release came after the province announced policing cuts that will pare the CFSEU budget by $2.8 million. Much public attention has focused on the Surrey Six murder trial, which concluded in early July. A decision is expected to be handed down Oct. 2 in the case against two of the men accused of killing two innocents along with four other targeted victims. But a separate murder conspiracy trial for Red Scorpions gang member Jamie Bacon, formerly of Abbotsford, is slated to begin next May for his alleged role in the Surrey Six slayings. And there could be two other major gang murder trials in 2015 as well. A trial is expected to begin next year in Kelowna, where Jonathan Bacon of Abbotsford was gunned down three years ago. Jujhar Khun-Khun, Michael Kerry Hunter Jones and Jason Thomas McBride face first-degree murder charges as well as four counts each of attempted murder. CFSEU officials say next year could

Some choices are hard.

also see the start of a trial against Cory Vallee, accused in two murders – the 2009 shooting in Langley of Red Scorpion Kevin LeClair of Abbotsford and the 2008 shooting in Burnaby of Jonathan Barber of Langley. Vallee, who was arrested in August in Mexico and quickly returned to B.C., also faces conspiracy charges in relation to a UN Gang plot to kill the Bacon brothers. Hackett said a joint CFSEU-IHIT investigation also led to murder conspiracy guilty pleas last year against six UN Gang members and associates. He said the gangsters had been “ruthlessly hunting” members of the Bacon crime group in 2008-09, a period during which police efforts also prevented at least two more murders. The six received sentences of seven to 14 years each and although UN Gang leader Barzan Tilli-Choli could be out late in 2018 due to time served, he is expected to then be deported to Iraq. The annual report includes statistics on the ethnicity of gang murder victims, where the bodies are typically found (31 per cent inside a car, 20 per cent inside a residence), as well as seasonal patterns in gang violence.

Some are easy.

Family faces financial struggles NOW OPEN

From A1

Rachel and her partner, Andrew Taekema, although obviously worried about today’s procedure, remain optimistic and look forward to the changes it will bring to Joshua’s life. “We have confidence in the doctors,” Andrew said. The parents did not know of Joshua’s condition until after his birth. He arrived in the world holding his breath and his skin a deep-purple tone. However, he soon seemed to be OK and was sent home on schedule. But the baby did not eat well and was sleeping constantly. Then came an episode in which he turned a deathly greyish-blue colour sent Rachel and Andrew scurrying to the doctor. They had not seen anything like this with any of the other five children in their blended family. (They each have two children from previous relationships, as well as two together.) A pediatric cardiologist who listened to Joshua’s heart instructed the couple to admit him as soon as possible to BC Children’s Hospital, where his diagnosis was almost immediate. “Your chest burns. It’s the weirdest feeling. It’s this terrible feeling of dread … That day was such a blur,” Rachel says of the diagnosis. Joshua’s first surgery – to insert a shunt in his pulmonary artery that would allow for better blood flow from his heart – was performed when he was just 10 days old. The family tried to prepare for what could have been a tragic outcome, and all Joshua’s siblings came to the hospital to say their goodbyes. “As a couple, we actually had to prepare ourselves not to bring him home,” Andrew says. The operation went well, but complications four days later resulted in Joshua’s bowel rupturing and him requiring emergency surgery in which twothirds of his bowel was removed. Joshua spent several more weeks in hospital, in-

cluding treatment for an infection that developed. He was sent home, but has been in and out of hospital numerous times since. Andrew describes the trauma of having an ambulance take Joshua from their home as the baby’s five siblings – two aged 9, and the others aged 12, 11 and 2 – stand at the window and cry. “We can never promise them that he (Joshua) is going to be OK,” Andrew says. Joshua required a third surgery in March to attach his small intestine to his large one and to insert a feeding tube. Through it all, Joshua has persevered. “He’s almost always smiling or happy. He’s probably our easiest kid, personality-wise. He’s not a fussy baby,” Rachel says. He will require another heart operation in anywhere from three to 15 years, Rachel says. Meanwhile, the family has faced not only the emotional toll of having a sick child, but the financial burden. Joshua’s medical appointments and hospital stays in Vancouver have resulted in expenses such as gas, bridge tolls, parking and hotel stays. Andrew, a carpenter and bridge worker, has been unable to work due to his own health problems – gastrointestinal issues and a neurological condition that results in blackouts and vomiting – and hasn’t yet been approved for government disability payments. Rachel has been unable to work due to Joshua’s health issues. The family has been living on social assistance and had set up an online fundraiser that they shut down last week after half the donated funds were taken from their bank account, possibly by a computer hacker. They were also the victims of a recent break-in where the thieves stole cash and several gift cards that had been donated to them. Anyone who would now like to donate to the family is asked to email them at craigg.1950@telus.net for details.

Essential service, or not?

Enough! Students in the B.C. public education system need to be back in their classrooms forthwith. The teachers’ strike caused youngsters to lose their final weeks of school earlier this year, and now the start of the new school year is into its second week of delay, with no end in sight. Exactly when does the “essential service” designation given to teachers come into play? Half a million students in this province are seeing major disruption to their education, and that’s not acceptable. Among them are students in their Grade 12 year, and this prolonged delay has the potential to cause irreparable harm to scholarships and university entrance endeavours. The BC Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government are playing brinkmanship, with students paying

the ultimate price. Arbritration is not the answer. The government must be in control of public education costs and conditions, and an arbitrator could potentially make a decision that severely limits both for the long-term, and prior to critical court appeals that could significantly change this landscape. Coming to a settlement otherwise seems unlikely in the next few days, and kids need to be at their desks now. If the government is not willing to legislate teachers back to work, then it has to apply supreme pressure for essential services enforcement. Once kids are back in the learning curve, the two sides (perhaps combatants would be a more appropriate term at this point) can resume negotiatons as long as it takes to reach a deal. If it’s all about the kids, let’s see some action reflecting that.

Freedom from fear a goal worth pursuing Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand Thirteen years ago tomorrow, the world as we knew it changed forever. I was roused from sleep early on September 11, 2001 with the words “A plane has hit the World Trade Center.” Out of bed and with CNN on the TV, I was mesmerized, as were millions of others, by the scenes unfolding. There was the North Tower in flames, vast billows of smoke filling the New York skyline, when suddenly out of the blue, and captured on real-time video, another jetliner slammed into the South Tower. It became instantly obvious that the United States, and subsequently the rest of the Western world, was under siege. Terrorism had finally struck into the heart and soul of North America. We were no longer protected by the vastness of

the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. We were not only now vulnerable, we had been attacked. From that day forward, the United States and Canada, thanks to the fear factor, have become less free, have in many ways become paranoid and thus, at least in the U.S., caused the gun culture to proliferate. Our borders are now only accessible with a passport, security questions (and acceptable answers) ubiquitous, and airport clearance times quadrupled. Sunday night, I watched a documentary “9/11: Voices from the Air” which presented the actual conversations of air traffic controllers, confused why their requests for responses to the crews of jetliners were going unanswered. Most chilling were the actual words of Mohamed Atta, unconsciously broadcasting over the airwaves his direction to passengers to keep calm, that they were simply “flying back to the airport” when in fact he was piloting American Airlines Flight 11 and all those innocent souls into the North Tower. Also fascinating were the conversations, after controllers realized they had not one

but a number of hijackings occurring, between them and the U.S. military. By the time everyone realized what was actually happening, it was too late, at least to stop three of the aircraft from deliberately smashing into the World Trade Center

It became instantly obvious that the United States, and subsequently the rest of the Western world, was under siege and the Pentagon. What brought down the fourth plane in a Pennsylvania field is anyone’s guess, though it is clear the U.S. military is denying any involvement and crediting heroes among the passengers for taking control and, intentionally or otherwise, crashing it. The tragedy of some 3,000 lives lost, and

the many thousands more in battlefields that still rage, is that it is all based on the belief of religious supremacy. Had it been for something more tangible, like land or riches, it might be more understandable. But to kill thousands and millions of people simply because of a “belief” in a higher power is an abysmal travesty. In fact, it is not religion that drives those to commit terrorist acts or slaughter innocent people, but a quest for power and control of people’s lives under the guise of ‘purifying the world in the name of God,’ whoever that may be in the minds of such oligarchs. Tomorrow, as we reflect on innocence lost, at least in North America, let us also commit to continue the war against terrorism and extremism. Realism tells me we may never win, but perhaps we can at least succeed in keeping much of the Western world free from fear. We owe it to the 3,000 who died 13 years ago, and to our children, grandchildren and the future of our world. markrushton@abbynews.com

Kids are leverage

Thanksgiving Turkey!*

The photo on the front page of Abby News issue of Sept. 3 showed two teachers Â with picket signs that read â€œFair deal better support for kids.â€? That is giving misinformation to the public. It is the teachers who want excessive raises. That benefits teachers, not kids. Then the article states they are giving up the pay for the kids. Elsewhere in the article it states the teachers are demanding an eight per cent increase. If we donâ€™t get the true facts, itâ€™s propaganda. Itâ€™s a battle where kids are merely the leverage. Leonard Remple

Deceitful politicians

The behaviour of the B.C. teachersâ€™ union is sickening indeed. First they waste two months of summer holidays in which they should have been negotiating. Then they have the audacity to use the students as pawns in outrageous wage demands twice the amount other unions have settled for. The taxpaying pockets are not bottomless pits. After all, they foot the bill. If teachers do need wages like a brain surgeon, they should get training to be one. Solution? Get rid of the present union negotiators. Rather then wasting valuable time, get yourselves individuals who truly care about the kids. I have sat in on union negotiations where sensible reasoning accomplishedÂ fair deals for all sides. How come this cannot be accomplished here? I say kudos to Premier Christy Clark for having the nerve to stick up for the taxpaying public. Â Gertie Pool

RIES!

Wasting valuable time

K TUR EY D E O F

So the BC government is appealing the two times court ruling deciding in favour of the teachersÂ being able to determine what class sizes and mix should be. The governmentâ€™s argument is that it has the right to do what it wants without negotiationÂ regardless of any existing contract.Â Basically theirÂ argument is:Â yes, weÂ put it in the contract but we didnâ€™t mean it. In other words,they lied! How can you negotiate in good faith with politicians like that?Â How does the BCTFÂ thinkÂ they can haveÂ meaningful binding arbitration withÂ politicians that lie? I would feel betterÂ if the BCTF had much more input into deciding how tax dollars are spent on education thanÂ just a merry-go-round ofÂ deceitful politicians. Gary Huntbatch

Salvation Army extends supportive housing stay Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

The Salvation Army has announced the extension of the supportive independent living program for men at the Centre of Hope, allowing them to stay for 24 months instead of 12 months. The Centre of Hope on Gladys Avenue has had sup-

portive housing for men on the premises since it opened in 2005. With 14 units in three different pods, adult males live in a safe, affordable, secure housing community for up to 12 months while working with staff to establish and implement a personal development plan. With the announcement of the extension, the first 12 months will be a stabilization period that will focus

on overall health and well-being, and maintaining sobriety. The second 12 months will focus on equipping the individual with life skills including money management, budgeting, learning how to write an effective resume, securing employment, and improving the personâ€™s ability to get into, and sustain, housing. For questions about the program, call the Centre of Hope at 604-852-9305.

Curbside Collection Containers Please ensure your curbside collection containers for both garbage and compostables have the following features:

Proposed Supportive Recovery Use for the property located at 32575 Rossland Place

â€˘ 80 litres or smaller; â€˘ have two graspable handles (if container is greater than 50 litres in capacity); â€˘ a secure lid; and â€˘ are less than 23 kg (50 lbs). It is also recommended that you use containers that are less than 76 cm tall (30 inches). These features will ensure collection efÂżciency and reduce the likelihood of worker injury. Containers outside the requirements listed above may not be collected. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the City of Abbotsford Engineering Department at 604-864-5514 or eng-info@abbotsford.ca.

Limit on Compostable Collection Containers per Household On August 25, 2014, Council passed a Bylaw limiting the number of curbside compostable containers to ten per household on collection day.

The City of Abbotsford will hold a public information meeting to consult with the public on a proposal to amend the Cityâ€™s OfÂżcial Community Plan (OCP), which would change the land use designation of the subject property from Resource Conservation to City Residential. This amendment is necessary in conjunction with the applicantâ€™s proposal to rezone the subject property from One Unit Urban Residential Zone (RS3) to Multi-unit Residential RM45 Zone (RM45) to permit the development of a four unit townhouse project.

The City of Abbotsford will hold a neighbourhood information meeting regarding an application proposing to re-establish a Supportive Recovery Use for the property located at 32575 Rossland Place. The Zoning Bylaw deÂżnes a â€œSupportive Recovery Useâ€? as: â€œa residential use providing a supportive and structured environment for individuals recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, before they are ready to move into independent housing; excludes a Harm Reduction Use.â€?

The public is invited to attend this meeting to comment on the proposed OCP amendment. The applicant will be available to answer questions regarding the proposed development. Presentation boards will also be available which will outline the preliminary proposed drawings in greater detail.

The neighbourhood information meeting will be held on Thursday, September 18, 2014 between the hours of 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm, at the MCA Foyer, 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, BC. The public is invited to attend this meeting to learn more information about the proposed application.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the province may take extraordinary steps to ensure senior secondary students’ school year is not cut short by the teachers strike. That could mean adding days to the school calendar later in the year, he said, to ensure Grade 12 students in particular complete their courses and get all the marks they need. “Do you put it on the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said. “It’s going to depend on how long this drags out. Whatever length of time it takes to get this settled, we will do everything we can to make sure the school year is kept whole for those students.” It’s unclear how the

government would finance adding extra days of classes later when all of the $12 million per day in strike savings may be consumed by the province’s offer of $40-a-day payments to parents. “If they were accumulating the savings, that would be one thing – they would have a fund,” Vancouver school board chair Patti Bacchus said. “But they’re giving away the budget right now to parents that would be otherwise available to pay for that.” As of Monday, 74 per cent of parents of eligible public school children under 13 had signed up for the $40 payments, which are expected to be made as a lump sum after the strike ends. Other costs that the province continues to incur while schools are closed include salaries for school administration as well as support

staff with other unions that are eligible to be compensated for pay lost for not crossing teacher picket lines. Support staff costs could hit $5 million a day once all their union locals ratify new contracts. Education ministry officials said school districts would be consulted on any potential changes to the school year to mitigate the strike. But Bacchus said she’s heard nothing so far and predicted it would be disruptive to families that have booked vacations and made other commitments far in advance. “It’s not going to be easy,” she said, noting changes would also require exemptions from School Act requirements. Talk of calendar adjustments is another sign of possible longterm implications from the strike, even though it has only disrupted

the first few days of the new school year. Parents have scrambled for limited space for child care, day camps, tutors and even private school placements for their children. Stepping up to meet the demand have been independent schools and, increasingly, public school teachers no longer drawing a regular paycheque who are advertising “tutor” services online. Distance learning through independent online schools is another option. The B.C. Online School run out of Kelowna by Heritage Christian Schools has been swamped with three times the normal number of applications for distributed learning from students across the province as a result of the strike. “We are overloaded with kids coming to us, particularly those in Grade 12 who want to get a particular course and get their requirements for university,” said superintendent Greg Bitgood. The online school, which is half funded by the province, instructed 3,400 students in its summer school – three times the normal number – and turned away another 6,000. Demand has surged again now that the strike has spilled into September and pushed back the scheduled start of classes. Bitgood is weighing whether to hire more teachers in response. But it’s risky because a deal or government legislation could send teachers back to work and students back to regular classes, said Bitgood, who emphasized he also wants the public school shutdown to end quickly.

Giving where needed most For more than 90 years, Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) has followed Jesus’ call to reach out to those in need and transform lives around the world. Today, with your faithful support, MCC continues to share God’s love and compassion for all in the name of Christ. When you participate in the MCC Festival for World Relief, you are supporting people like Denenadji Josephine, shown here with a healthy goat, as she was pro-

vided with skills training to raise healthy animals, and equipment to help her grow healthy crops. MCC funds training and provides tools for Josephine’s community in Badei, Chad, to help them raise healthy animals to sell at the market, and to grow dry-season crops – a necessity for survival in Chad’s arid climate. This is just one example of how your gift helps MCC respond to basic human needs for families around the world.

Best wishes

to MCC BC for another successful fall festival.

Abbotsford City Council

A community effort in the making: A Pie for MCC Anne KROEKER SUBMITTED STORY

Over the summer months several women have volunteered their time to prepare various fruits for pie filling, under the direction and organization of Elli Dreidiger. Elli contacted various grocery stores like Cooper’s Foods, Super Store, Save On Foods - Sumas Way, and Safeway, who gave funds or groceries so the necessary items, like sugar, flour and lard needed to make the pies were provided. The fruit was collected from local growers and stands by Anne Kroeker. Donations came from people like Murray & Cheryl Siemens from Willow View Farms who graciously provided loads of rhubarb, Lois & Larry Veer from Veer Farms who donated blueberries and blackberries and Bumble Berries and Dora Heppner who also donated blackberries. Fruit stands such as Lepp Farm Market donated peaches,

Neufeld Farms provided strawberries, and Thumper’s Patch, Little Green Apple and Hamilton Farms provided apples.

Many gave liberally so that over the past few months a fair amount of fruit has been gathered and prepared. Finding freezer space for everything became a wonderful problem when so much was given! Marie Kennedy, of Central Heights Church

graciously shared space in the churches’ freezers, as did the folk in the Manor. It is now prepared and ready to be baked into pies on September 11th. The pies will be baked at Central Heights’ kitchen where a host of very willing women who come from all around the community will be working together, making well over 100 pies for this event. Marie will help with the baking in her wonderful kitchen using the convection ovens which have the capacity to bake 36 pies at once. Altogether it takes a lot of people to make up a pie and bring it to the table to be served with ice cream to folk who come to enjoy various foods at the MCC Festival for World Relief. Thus it becomes a “Community Effort.”

Proud Supporter of MCC for over 20 Yrs.

We are indeed grateful to all who have helped in the baking of “The Pie.” Many thanks to all.

I am a very satisfied customer of Mainland Hearing. About 6 years ago, I purchased a second pair of hearing aids elsewhere… but they did not work properly. I tried Mainland Hearing and was fitted with much better hearing aids. Each time that I return, I am greeted by the most welcoming receptionist. I was given a thorough assessment by Kris Goos, who took time to listen and explain various aspects of my hearing. Living with hearing loss is complicated and ongoing as we age. Many friends and family do not understand the challenges, so I find it very empowering and helpful to have people treat me with such respect and consideration. – Barb Stirskey

Lions land linebacker Lokombo

Mouat grad to launch pro career with CFL club

Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

B.C. Lions photo

Former W.J. Mouat Hawks and Oregon Ducks standout Boseko Lokombo signed with the B.C. Lions on Monday.

Boseko Lokombo has signed with the B.C. Lions. The 23-year-old linebacker out of Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat Secondary put pen to paper with the CFL club on Monday, ending his wait for an NFL offer in favour of starting his pro career north of the border. “I felt like it was the right time, and I felt like I’d waited long enough,” Lokombo told The News in a brief cellphone conversation, between signing the contract and taking his physical with the Lions. “It was time to make a decision.

“It’s very exciting. It’s a good move as far as being close to home and close to my family. The B.C. Lions is a great program, and I get to surround myself with a lot of guys who enjoy doing what they do.” Signing Lokombo is a major coup for the Lions, who took a calculated risk in picking the physically gifted linebacker in the third round of the 2013 CFL draft. Lokombo, then heading into his senior season with the University of Oregon Ducks, was the No. 1-rated prospect according to the CFL scouting bureau, but lasted until the third round because it was expected he’d be NFL-bound.

SUMMER fun continues with PRC ING TO FROM SWIMM DAY LL SKATING TO FU REAT GOT G CAMPS, WE’VE FOR KIDS. PROGRAMS

Surgery in February to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder helped to steer Lokombo the Lions’ way. It was likely a factor in his being passed over in the NFL draft in May, and by the time he was medically cleared on Aug. 15, NFL training camps were already well underway. Lokombo, meanwhile, was getting antsy to play. He scratched his football itch by suiting up for his older brother Boloy’s team, the Abbotsford Razorbacks, in the Western Canadian Touch Football Championships at Exhibition Park (they finished second). Three weeks later, he came to terms Continued on A31

Red-hot Hadwin wins again Second victory of Web.com Tour season Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

With his PGA Tour card already in hand, Adam Hadwin is serving notice that he’s poised to make some noise once he gets there. The 26-year-old Abbotsford golfer picked up his second victory of the Web. com Tour campaign on Sunday, wrapping up the Chiquita Classic in Davidson, N.C. with a clinical four-under 68 to finish at -18 for the tournament, two strokes better than John Peterson of the U.S. The winner’s cheque was worth $180,000, bringing Hadwin’s total earnings on the Web. com Tour this season to $473,667 (regular season and playoffs combined). Only three-time winner Carlos Ortiz ($515,403) has more. “It’s an indescribable feeling right now,” Hadwin stated in a Web. com Tour video release. “I’ve been playing such great golf for a while now, and to be able to pull it out today against a very strong competitor in John . . . he pushed me down there to the

final stretch, and I had to come up with some clutch shots in the end. It’s just a huge confidence booster moving forward.” The Robert Bateman Secondary grad opened the tourney with a course-record nineunder 63 on Thursday, before coming back to the pack with an evenpar 72 the next day. He stayed in the mix on Saturday, shooting 67 to move to within a stroke of leader Greg Chalmers, and then surged to the top of the leaderboard on the strength of Sunday’s five-birdie, one-bogey effort. Chalmers struggled mightily, shooting 75 and finishing tied for eighth. “I leaderboardwatched all day, saw where I was at, but I continued to hit good shots,” Hadwin said. “I hit a lot of good shots today, hit some clutch putts when I needed to on the back nine.” Fellow Abbotsford golfer Nick Taylor tied for 27th at -7, shooting 67-73-69-72 and earning $6,545.

Preventing gang activity in BC ▾ MYTH: Once kids join a gang there’s no hope for them: Reality: With quick family, school, and police intervention, a youth can leave the gang without any serious consequences. The key is a coordinated and collaborative intervention as soon as some of the warning signs appear. Better yet, everyone needs to work together to prevent youth and young adults from joining gangs.

After 28 years on the job, there’s not much at this point that W.J. Mouat Hawks football coach Denis Kelly hasn’t seen. Friday night, though, was a new experience for him – a high school football game, without high school actually being in session. It’s one of the more surreal elements of the public school labour dispute, where classes have been cancelled but teacher/coaches like Kelly and Dan Village, his counterpart with the Robert Bateman Timberwolves, are keeping football season alive by continuing to volunteer their time on the gridiron. “It’s good to have it,” said Kelly after the senior AAA Hawks completed a 46-13 victory over their AA crosstown rivals from Bateman under the Friday night lights at Mouat Field. “The kids enjoyed it, and both teams had a good night. It’s what you should be doing. This whole strike should be finished and over with, but it might be just beginning.” As beginnings go, Friday night was a good one for the Hawks’ Jacob Dodd. Stepping into the starting tailback job most recently held by Maleek Irons – the most prolific rusher in B.C. high school football history – Dodd showed he’s ready to carry the torch, rushing for 169 yards and scoring five touchdowns. Four of his majors came on the ground, and the fifth was on a 10-yard pass from QB Noah Dietrich. “You don’t really think about it when you’re out there having fun,” Dodd said, reflecting on the pressure of replacing Irons. “I’m just happy that we still get to play football, even though there’s no school going. If there was no football going, I don’t know what I’d do.” The Hawks led 26-6 at the half, and drained any suspense from the proceedings on interceptions by Dion Pellerin and Keagan MacGillivray after the break. Pellerin returned his pick 40 yards to the end zone, while MacGillivray’s paved the way for Nelson Lokombo’s short TD run. Bateman’s points came on a 60-yard kick return Continued on A31

with the Lions. “The first person I saw today was (Lions GM) Wally Buono, and he joked about me getting ready to play on both defence and offence,” Lokombo said with a chuckle, adding that he’s “100 per cent” healthy. Lokombo wasn’t sure whether Buono was kidding or not, but he believes he’s got something to offer on the offensive side of the ball. He was best known during his Mouat tenure for his work as a running back, and led the province with 32 total touchdowns (22 rushing, eight receiving, plus an interception return and a punt return) during his Grade 12 year. The 6’2”, 233-pounder made a full-time transition to defence at Oregon and was a key contributor during the Ducks’ epic run of success over the past four seasons, during which

the program amassed a 47-6 record and appeared in three Bowl Championship Series (BCS) bowls. As a senior, he was seventh on the Ducks with 63 tackles, and was first on the team in quarterback hurries (seven), and third in sacks (three). At Oregon, Lokombo’s multifaceted role required an ability to rush the passer on one play and drop into coverage the next. He believes those skills will translate well to the CFL and its larger field, which demands similar versatility from linebackers. “Bo has tremendous upside and loads of potential,” Lions head coach Mike Benevides said in a press release. “It was a calculated risk to take him in the draft and I’m thrilled that it’s worked out for our organization. It will be great to have him on the field and help us continue to improve as a team.”

events to date, with two to go, and he’s currently in position to claim one of the 25 PGA Tour cards up for grabs during the playoffs. He’s ranked 13th

Cascades hang on to beat UBC Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Just one weekend into the Canada West regular season, the University of the Fraser Valley women’s soccer team has already experienced a full year’s worth of drama. The Cascades absorbed a heartbreaking defeat on opening night – after leading the defending national champion Trinity Western Spartans for the majority of the game, they surrendered

two late goals and fell 2-1 on the road on Friday. Facing another powerhouse, the UBC Thunderbirds, in their home opener Sunday, the UFV women once again went up 1-0, but this time they pulled through for an impressive victory. “I challenged the girls that when adversity strikes – and Friday was a tough experience – that it’s a time to show your character,” Cascades Continued on A33

coach Rob Giesbrecht said. “I thought we did a great job of that today . . . we just refused to lose.” Shelby Beck’s goal in the 76th minute was the difference. Sprung on a breakaway by Monika Levarsky, Beck picked the top left corner behind T-Birds keeper Emily Wilson. UFV netminder Kayla Klim posted the clean sheet. The UFV men’s team had solid performances against both TWU and UBC, but sustained a pair of 1-0 defeats. The Cascades deserved better vs. the Spartans – they boasted a 10-5 edge in shots and a 11-3 advantage in corner kicks. But TWU escaped with the win on Vitaliano Poletto’s goal in the 18th minute. Against the twotime defending national champs from UBC, UFV lost on Navid Mashinchi’s goal in the 80th minute. Q The UFV soccer teams are on the road this weekend to face UBC-Okanagan (Friday) and Thompson Rivers University (Saturday). For more coverage, visit abbynews.com

OBITUARIES

MASZTALAR, Mike 1935 - 2014 It is with sadness our father, brother and uncle, Mike Masztalar, passed peacefully

PAIALUNGA McGREGOR Colleen (nee Wiebe) Oct. 5, 1965 ~ Aug. 31, 2014

It is with heart-wrenching sadness that we announce the passing of our daughter, wife, aunt, cousin, Colleen (Wiebe) McGregor, at Edmonton, Alberta. Colleen was full of smiles and laughter, mischief and fun. She charged through life chasing dreams and adventures; grabbing hold of the things she wanted; fixing, helping, searching, finding, starting and finishing, building things up and then looking for more. She lived the moments of her life fiercely - with zest, determination, tenacity; stubbornly full of courage and joy. She is survived by: husband Allen McGregor, mother Annie Wiebe, father Ken Wiebe (Wynne Smith), siblings Allanna Wiebe, Danita (Stan) Braun, Kenny (Corinna) Wiebe, nine nieces and nephews. A memorial service was held at Lac La Biche, Alberta, September 6th, 2014.

on September 4, 2014 He is survived by his loving daughter Sherry, son Michael and their mother Karen. He was predeceased by his sister Helen, and is survived by brothers John, Peter (Sharon) and sister Jenny (Reid), and many nieces and nephews. In his lifetime he was employed in many occupations, but none necessitated a move from his hometown, Aldergrove. Thank-you to all his apartment friends, to Cornerstone and Langley Memorial Hospital for allowing his last days to have comfort and dignity. A Memorial will be held Sunday, September 14 at 1:00 pm in the Aldergrove Legion. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Diabetes Association of BC, or the Charity of your choice.

ROOSENBERG Herman On August 31, 2014, at age 92, Herman passed peacefully into the presence of his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Herman was born February 1, 1922 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He is survived by the love of his life, Riek (Angel) Roosenberg, his son John (Cindy) of Edmonton, daughter Cathy Roosenberg of Abbotsford, grandchildren Leanne, Angela, Sean, and Cory Roosenberg and Cara (Smarth) Clement, Racheal (Andre) Hummelman, Anthony (Easton) Vandenborn, and 13 great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his daughter Ineke Roosenberg. The family wishes to thank the staff of Menno Home and Menno Terrace East for their gracious, loving care of Herman. A celebration of life will take place on Wednesday, September 10th, 2014 at 1:00 pm, at Living Hope Christian Reformed Church, 34631 Old Clayburn Rd., Abbotsford, BC.

Alﬁe Quietly, at his Barriere home and in the arms of his family, Alfie Paialunga slipped from this world early on the evening of August 26, 2014, after a long and courageous battle with pulmonary fibrosis. Born August 31, 1946, the son of Adolfo and Elsie Paialunga, Alfie was predeceased by his parents, brother Ken Paialunga, sister Lena Horton and nephew Ken Paialunga. He is survived by sister Mary McMath of Kelowna and many nieces and nephews, as well as his wife of 32 years, Garnette, of Barriere, daughter Farron Paialunga, of Surrey, BC, son Toni (Mel), stepson Tyler (Dannielle) Sealey and granddaughter Tameeka, all of Abbotsford, BC, and pined for by his special companion, grand-dog Bud. A long-time contractor and carpenter, until forced into retirement by declining health, Alfie was a devoted son, brother, uncle, husband and father who gave freely of his time and abilities in a variety of volunteer roles, including time spent coaching with Abbotsford Minor Ball. Since returning to Barriere in 2012, Alfie devoted much of his time to renovating and landscaping the home he shared with Garnette and Bud. A memorial service will be held on September 13, 2014 at Highland Church in Abbotsford, BC at 3:30 pm. Cremation entrusted to Scheonings’ Funeral Services in Kamloops, BC.

VOLKER Shirley Shirley Anne Volker, 77, of Aldergrove, BC, passed away on August 17, 2014. Shirley was predeceased by her sister June and brother Teddy. She is survived by her husband Lorne, brother Chuck, daughter Kathy, sons Wade and Darrell, several nieces, nephews and grandchildren. Shirley was a mother, hairdresser, motel operator, and residential building manager in several regions in BC. Throughout her life she was a loving, caring and hardworking lady. We will miss her dearly and we hope she can rest in peace. There will be no service as per Shirley’s request. The family would like to thank the staff at Jackman Manor. They ensured the last couple years of her life were as carefree and comfortable as possible.
