‘He just started ... freaking out’ Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Dispatching emergency calls is an intense job that can’t be taken personally
Inside
20:30 hours (8:30 p.m.) The man accused of head-butting his neighbour can be seen on one of the video monitors that line a wall in the radio room as police bring him into custody. Cameras record activities going on outside the APD building and in the area where suspects are admitted into the cells. There is no audio with the footage, but the man is clearly agitated and is shouting at officers during the entire admissions procedure. Once in a cell, located below the radio room, he can be heard yelling. Sometimes, suspects thrash around so forcefully that the radio room staff can feel the floors rattle.

She says the neighbour is sitting on his balcony. Jay asks to speak with her husband. “He started f…ing yelling at me … I don’t know why.

The woman who had apparently left multiple messages with the previous caller reaches Jay. She acknowledges she made the calls, but she’s upset because her boyfriend is with the other woman. “She wants to know if you will stop calling her,” Jays says. “No!” the woman says. He puts the call on hold as his other line rings. The dad he spoke with a few minutes earlier has found the missing girl. Jay phones the girl’s mom, and the relieved and thankful woman agrees to make arrangements to pick up her daughter. Jay returns to his other call and again requests that the woman stop bothering the other lady. “No! He’s my boyfriend. I love him. I want my boyfriend!” she says. “He’s your boyfriend. You can have your boyfriend,” Jay reassures her. He tells her he has to go and the information will be forwarded to police.
23:37
Calls have continued to flow in – a hostile drunk man in the parking lot of a gas station, some drunk men riding a pocket bike around an apartment
parking lot, an out-of-control neighbour swearing and slamming doors, three drunken men riding a toy horse down the street. Jay’s thorough questioning of one of the callers is met with an exasperated response: “My God. You guys take so much time to figure something out. My God.” Jay tells her that three officers are on their way, and she hangs up. A woman reports that her mom just head-butted her dad and she is being drunk and disorderly. She and her brother have intervened and are keeping mother and father apart. Asked the dates of her parents’ birthdays, the woman is not sure. She says she’s not good with birthdays. “Do you know your birthday?” he teases her to lighten up the situation. The woman laughs.
00:00
Tina’s shift is over, and Jay moves over to dispatch. His job becomes even more hectic, as he is dealing with all the files as the call takers enter them into the system.
00:34
The radio room receives a call about a break-and-enter in progress. The caller says he heard glass smashing at the
home of his elderly neighbours, and he can hear footsteps on broken glass. All available units are dispatched, and Jay continues to access his on-screen map to determine the exact house in question and provide the information to officers on scene. Police determine there has been no such incident and surmise that someone might have heard the sound of a breaking beer bottle.
00:50
All available units are dispatched to a local bar, where reports have come in of three or four men trying to fight staff and one of them threatening to shoot up the bar. Two men apparently run from the scene.

One of the men involved in the bar fight is brought into custody. The others are not arrested.

Jay’s shift comes to an end. He will do it all again tomorrow – his final shift of a four-day stretch before he has four days off. Although the shifts are long and fatiguing, he looks forward to coming to work. “I love it in here … it’s always different, always something new.”

Human-caused fire in park
Tyler OLSEN
Abbotsford News
Fire crews quickly snuffed out a blaze Friday morning after 10-foot-tall flames took hold of a small forested area that had been used as a homeless campsite. The fire broke out around 10 a.m. Friday in a heavily treed area in Lonzo Creek Park, off of Sumas Way behind Save-On-Foods. Only a small area burned before firefighters arrived on the scene and doused the blaze. Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service Assistant Chief
Jeff Adams said the fire was human-caused, but it was unclear whether the site was being actively used as a campsite. “By the time we got there, there wasn’t much left of it,” Adams said. “It looked like there were remnants of a structure.” The area is used by the homeless. A shopping cart and other personal remains could be seen at the fire site after the flames were extinguished, and a well-constructed tent appeared inhabited less than a hundred metres away from the site of the fire.

The man wasn’t happy with his sandwich. He had left the restaurant in the 32700 block of South Fraser Way in Abbotsford after receiving his takeout order for a soup and sandwich on Sunday afternoon, but he returned. The tomatoes and lettuce apparently weren’t to his liking. The man became increasingly heated about the issue as he explained the problem to restaurant staff, police say. One of the workers, a woman
in her 40s, shifted him away from the other customers and tried to get him to calm down. The man’s anger grew and he suddenly threw his hot soup at the employee, striking her in the face and chest, according to police. The man then stormed out of the restaurant and drove away, but not before a quick-thinking witness noted the licence plate on his vehicle. Police were called to the scene, and they determined that the shaken worker had suffered minor burns to her chest, neck and face but did not
require treatment. Meanwhile, other officers were dispatched to the home of the registered owner of the vehicle that the angry customer drove away in. A 42-year-old man was arrested at the residence and now faces a charge of assault with a weapon. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said the man, who cannot be named until charges are formally laid, has prior convictions for assault with a weapon, breaking and entering, and theft.

Don’t over-promise
Here’s a simple request for candidates seeking election in the upcoming school board and municipal election: Only promise what you can deliver. That might seem an obvious request. But all too often, candidates vow to achieve things they clearly cannot. They either fail to provide the true cost of their promise, or they promise something outside the legal mandate of the office they seek. Call it enthusiasm. Call it lack of experience. Either way it doesn’t serve the voter. For example, there are some fairly severe limits on what a city can and cannot do. It must work within the provincial legislation that governs its existence. A promise to silence every train whistle within the city boundaries might sound attractive, but trains are a federal responsibility. City council can’t make them do anything. Likewise, a promise by a school board candidate to hire more teachers won’t happen without an explanation of where the money to pay for those new employees will come
from. And school districts cannot, by provincial law, run a deficit. Which brings up the second point: Money. Rarely does a promise come without a cost, and candidates have an obligation to identify what that cost will be. A promise to double the number of parks in the city, for example, might draw support. But what will maintenance cost, and what impact will the removal of that land from the tax base have on city finances? A promise to cut taxes, or freeze them, must also include details on where the cuts in services will come or alternate revenue found. None of this is to suggest candidates can’t have ideas or voice creative and imaginative solutions But they have an obligation to voters to ensure that what they promise is practical – or more particularly, possible. And we as voters have the responsibility to do the research and ask the tough questions to ensure these lofty ideas have some grounding in reality. – Black Press
Park your phone, or park your car Mark
Rushton On the
Other Hand I remember using one of the first ‘portable’ phones. The mechanism was housed in a large, briefcase-like container, and the handset attached with a coiled cord still found on home and office phones today. In 1991 I acquired a Motorola 8000, which was the size and weight of a brick, complete with four-inch antenna. Back then I put it to good use, conveniently ignoring the high cost per minute of calls thanks to the ability to write them off as a business expense. Although the early ’90s weren’t so long ago, cellphones were a rarity. Today everyone has one. Because of its size, to use the old Motorola while driving I kind of jammed it against the seat, or between my legs, and punched in the numbers while hold-
ing the steering wheel in the other hand, glancing up now and then to ensure I wasn’t meeting a semi head-on. Fortunately, as years passed and technology advanced, phones got smaller and the numbers easier to dial. Flip phones were soon discarded. I found that when a call came in I’d scoop it off the seat, try to flip the cover to take the call, and lose it when my thumb slipped. Eventually, I progressed to a Blackberry and now use an iPhone. As most know, these are not just phones but micro-computers capable of instantly delivering world news, information, photos, emails and texts. The convenience of communication from anywhere, anytime, is so remarkable we have become addicted to cellphones. Being the curious creatures we are, it is almost irresistible to not immediately pick up the phone when it bongs from the cup holder, indicating another email or text to check out. And those distractions have become the cause of far too many motor vehicle accidents. Long before laws were enacted banning
handheld devices when driving, I bought a Bluetooth device that allowed me to talk and call without touching the phone. It does not allow the reading of texts or emails however, and that is the root cause of many collisions. We let our curiosity overcome our sense
The convenience of communication from anywhere, anytime, is so remarkable we have become addicted to cellphones of purpose, which is to drive our vehicles carefully and safely. When new laws were enacted a few years ago, many people ignored them, figuring if they got caught the fine was little more than “the price of doing business.” Thus, with many flouting the law, the provincial government is now cracking down, making it rather painful financially
to be a repeat offender. The fine jumps to $634 on the second offence, and goes up from there. However, along with fines now come driver’s licence demerit points, which carry their own cost. Rack up 50 demerit points and ICBC will ding you $24,000. That’s enough to sideline and send to cycling even the most ardent cellphone-using driver. I agree completely that the dangers inherent in reading or sending texts and email while driving are unacceptable and should not be permitted. I also fully support the use of handsfree calling devices. There is absolutely no justifiable reason to take your eyes off the road or lose concentration while driving, particularly on the freeway or congested streets. It is, therefore, a bit of a conundrum to have a police officer whose job it is to enforce the law and hand over tickets to offenders, drive our streets and highways with a large computer screen glowing over his/her console, or see them holding a cellphone to their ear.

letters Out of sight New plan for homeless: When I saw in the newspaper the location the city wants to house 21 homeless men, I was sick to my stomach. I was in total disbelief. I had to take a magnifying glass to the newspaper, to look at the picture. This is the only entry and exit for this large neighbourhood to come and go from. Do you think we want to see this building for homeless right there? Where we will be making a left turn to go up-town to go shopping or leaving to go work? I’ll never feel safe or happy walking down the street or anywhere near there again. This whole idea of putting the homeless right there fills me with anxiety.   Everyone knows these are not normal people. Most are mentally ill or drug addicts and alcoholics. And they do need help, but many refuse it. It was hard enough to see them up the road, when we were going out somewhere – garbage everywhere. They can’t even use a garbage can! Riding their bikes, shooting up drugs. I’d often say to my husband while driving, please take a different way. I just don’t want to see this disgusting mess. What about all the good people in this area, that work and pay taxes, who take care of their houses, and have done massive renovations, or even bought new houses in the area? Further down the streets, there are nice and quiet areas. Please build something where we don’t have to see or deal with these people and all their problems. How would you like to have this in your neighbourhood?        Susan Nieruchalski Abbotsford

Abbotsford News Wednesday, October 15, 2014
School backpack program expands The Blessings in a Backpack program has been renamed for the 2014-15 school year. The program is now called the Starfish Pack Program and has expanded from the original pilot project of 10 backpacks at one school to the current level of 12 elementary schools serving 184 students and their families. By the end of October, it is hoped that the program will be in 14 schools with a total of 216 backpacks. There are hopes to further expand the program, with additional corporate and personal sponsorships needed.
The program, which is supported and coordinated by the Abbotsford Rotary Club, began in the 2012/13 school year to help feed kids who might be going hungry on the weekends. Many of these students were part of their school’s breakfast and/ or lunch programs during the week. Every Friday, participating students receive a backpack filled with two breakfasts, two lunches and two dinners to last them for the weekend. The empty packs are then returned and refilled for the following week by volunteers who shop for the items, fill the back-
packs and deliver them to the schools. The cost of providing the backpacks for one child for the school year is $525, which comes from donations from local organizations, individuals, businesses and churches. Those wanting to contribute are asked to visit the Abbotsford Food Bank at 33914 Essendene Ave. or call 604-8595749. Cheques can be made out to the Abbotsford Food Bank with “Starfish Pack Program” on the notation line. Donations can also be made online at the BlackPress4Good crowdfunding site: abbynews.com/4Good.

“We’ve been loading tankers safely here for sixty years.” - Bikram Kanjilal, Consultant Marine Development
Trans Mountain has been operating at Westridge Terminal for six decades without a single spill from tanker operations, due in part to the stringent precautions we put in place. Close collaboration between Pilotage Authorities, Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard and Port Metro Vancouver ensures vessels navigate our waters safely, guided by highly qualified local pilots.
U U U U U U U U U
Tankers are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards. Any vessel proposing to visit Westridge must go through pre-screening and physical inspection. Only double hulled tankers of modern design are accepted. The Canadian Coast Guard monitors every vessel’s passage. All employees are trained in operations, safety and emergency response procedures. All vessels have a boom enclosure throughout loading operations. Two local pilots are on board loaded tankers during every movement. Tug escorts are required to accompany all laden tankers. Dedicated local marine-based spill response organization, WCMRC, ensures quick action in the event of a spill. U Marine spill response will be enhanced.

An Abbotsford man has been charged with three child pornography offences. Danial James Munroe, 58, was arrested Wednesday and has been charged with making child pornography available, distributing child porn and possessing child porn. Const. Ian MacDonald of the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) said police were notified by an outside investigator that on Feb. 4, the possible distribution and possession of images of child sexual abuse had occurred from an Abbotsford home. The APD’s major crime unit began investigating the matter in early June, and executed a search warrant at the residence on Sept. 3. Items seized from the home included computers, phones, cameras, hard drives and storage devices.
The crime rate is down 11% in Abbotsford since Mayor Banman has been elected!
Munroe has been released from custody under court-ordered conditions that include: no contact with anyone under the age of 18; not attending any public park, school ground, swimming pool or other area where people under the age of 18 are expected to be present; and not to posses or use any device capable of accessing the Internet. Munroe’s conditions also include: not communicating with anyone known to be involved in the sexual exploitation of children or in trading/possessing child exploitation materials and not accessing or being in possession of pornography of any kind. Anyone with information about the investigation is asked to contact the APD at 604-859-5225 or text 222973 (abbypd).

I have been experiencing hearing loss for the past 15 years. However, the abundance of hearing devices and information was admittedly overwhelming. It was then that I decided to consult Sabreena Grewal at Mainland Hearing. She answered all my questions and addressed my concerns with patience and understanding. The hearing device she recommended enabled me to communicate with my family and enjoy listening to music and TV again!

A CHARITY FUNDRAISING EVENT SUPPORTING WETLAND CONSERVATION
A group of local residents are calling for the widening of Fraser Highway, bringing a petition to council with more than 1,600 signatures asking the city to make the project a priority. Donna Verrault, a resident of west Abbotsford, spoke to council last Monday about the concerns of the residents in the area about the ongoing traffic and safety issues on Fraser Highway from Mt. Lehman Road to Station Road. Verrault said while the route has always connected Abbotsford to communities in the west, it was never designed “to handle the thousands of vehicles that now travel along it daily.” She said her family has lived and worked on Fraser Highway

No major improvements to route since early ’60s From A14
since 1972 and has seen the community grow and change with residential developments, new businesses, seven gas stations, a large greenhouse, truck parking and more. “Surprisingly though, with all of these changes, there have been no major improvements made to Fraser Highway since its present day inception in the early 1960s.” She said it’s a main route for anyone who wants to avoid Highway 1. Though lights has been installed, “all that resulted was an increase in traffic accidents.” Two accidents in the last month completely closed the highway – a common occurrence – said Verrault. She added if there is an issue on Highway 1, people take Fraser Highway instead, turning it into a “parking lot.” Even with new sites approved for developments but not yet built, there are no plans for widening the road, she said. While Langley and Surrey are facing similar issues with Fraser Highway, they have widened many sections and have plans to widen more, said Verrault. “Why isn’t the City of Abbotsford planning on the same type of improvements? Why isn’t Abbotsford making Fraser Highway a priority to be widened?” Jim Gordon, the
city’s general manager of engineering, explained that Fraser Highway used to be a provincial highway, but about 15 years ago was turned over to the city.
Coun. Henry Braun said that over the past three years, he has voted against developments in that area due to the two-lane highway and “then I was branded as being
anti-business.” But he said he believes that Fraser Highway should have been widened “yesterday” and be a top priority. Gordon said the
city owns most of the right-of-way to widen the road, and believes the cost to expand it to four lanes would be between $30 million and $40 million. He said the city
would want to ask the province for financial assistance. M ay o r Bruce Banman said that it is an issue he has brought to the provincial and federal
A15
governments, as the cost is “rather staggering. “It is a priority. The question then becomes, ‘How do we go about paying for that in a prudent way?’ “

Toy Run rolls into town Oct. 19
The 28th annual Central and Upper Fraser Valley Toy Run will roll into town on Sunday, Oct. 19, collecting toys to help local kids have a Christmas. The event is free, but volunteers ask attendees to bring new unwrapped toys, and they will receive a pin. Financial donations will also be accepted. The toys will be distributed through the Christmas Bureau at Abbotsford Community Services, and gifts will go to children in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope, Mission and Agassiz. The event started in 1986 by Barney Hopkins. Sr. and his wife Lenore, and the event is still being managed by the Hopkins family, volunteers and friends. Motorcyclists can assemble in Chilliwack at Sears on Luckakuck Way, with riders meetings at 9 a.m. and leaving at 9:15 sharp.

$350,000 to help youth develop skills Abbotsford MP Ed Fast has announced $350,000 in funding for a youth employment program in the community. The funding was announced Monday (Oct. 6) from the federal government’s Skills Link Program. Agora Employment Essentials, a wholly owned company of Mennonite Central Committee, is receiving the support for a project called Youth Keep Working, to help 42 youth facing barriers to employment. Project participants will develop the skills and tools necessary to make a successful transition to the job market or return to school. They will develop useful skills in the areas of problemsolving and teamwork. They will also gain work experience with local employers in a variety of sectors, including manufacturing, automotive and hospitality. Participants may also learn skills related to their personal career plans, such as first aid and CPR training. In 2013, Agora E m p l o y m e n t Essentials also received funding through the Skills Link program of more than $350,000 for a similar project, which ended in June 2014 after helping 40 participants. For more information about Youth Keep Working and other programs offered through Agora Employment Services, visit findingyourway. ca. Did you know, every day, 395 children and their families visit BC’s Children’s Hospital for treatment & care?

Pot activist Felger runs for council
Felger has been in the headlines for two court cases – one in Abbotsford and one in Mission – in which he was charged with trafficking drugs from storefront locations. He was acquitted in the Abbotsford case, but the Crown has won an appeal, and Felger has taken that decision to the Supreme Court of Canada to argue that he shouldn’t have to undergo a new trial. Most of the charges have been thrown out in the Mission case, but the trial will proceed at a future date on adapted charges.

Rai seeks third term as trustee Enjoys community, social and cultural activities
THE ABBOTSFORD ARTS COUNCIL PRESENTS
ENVISION FINANCIAL
COFFEE HOUSE CONCERT SERIES
Abbotsford school trustee Preet Rai has announced he will run for a third term in the upcoming municipal election. Rai has been on the Abbotsford board of education for six years. A chartered accountant from India, he immigrated to the U.K. in 1992 and worked for the Scottish government. He moved to Canada in 1995 and has been working for the provincial government since 1997. His wife is a teacher and they have three children, all of whom have attended or attend public schools. Rai’s mother

he has always taken a keen interest in community, social and cultural activities. In his time as a trustee, he said he has particularly enjoyed visiting schools throughout the district. “I have relished reading to kindergarten students and answering wellthought-out questions by middle and high school students. Being in a cold dunk tank on sports days was chilly at the time, but it is warm memories now.”
Rai said he has witnessed the pride that students have shown at AbbyFest, the annual Heritage Fair and other community events. “(This) in turn gives me energy and keeps me focused on looking into best opportunities to prepare students to reach their full potential and be successful,” he said. Rai said he believes strongly in the school district’s “strategic direction focusing on student success with individual learning, choice and parent involvement.”

Rai has served on the Community of Character Council, the Abbotsford RAI Youth Commission, Cycling for Diversity, the Sister City committee, the Canuck Place campaign executive committee, the South Asian Taskforce for Canuck Place, and the boards of AbbyFest, MSA Museum, The Reach Gallery and Literacy Matters. Rai said

Cookbooks: Q Inspiration at our fingertips
One of the oddest couples I have ever met was after one of my live cooking performances at a local fair. A woman in the distant crowd was watching the tail end of my show and approached me afterwards. “I can see by watching you that you love to cook.” She said. “I can see that the crowd was inspired by your show, but my husband and I, we never cook. You could even go as far as saying that we hate to cook, so we never do it. You may think I’m exaggerating, but I’m not. We never cook. We eat in restaurants, get take-out, fast food, and buy microwave prepared dinners.” I was shocked, to say the least. My first thought was “why are you telling me this?” Then she went on and asked me “I bet you can’t guess what we use our oven for?” I shrugged my shoulders and she said “to store cookbooks. It’s wasted space for us, so we use it as a bookshelf.” This was the oddest thing I have ever heard. “Why do you even own cookbooks, if you don’t cook?” I asked. “Doesn’t everybody?” She replied. Good point. She’s right. Everyone has a collection of cookbooks, either large or small, and apparently even people that don’t cook. I am assuming that they must have received them as gifts? We all get into cooking ruts at times in our lives and our meals in the meantime suffer from lack of stimulation you’re not alone. However, right there in your own home, you have an assortment of cookbooks just waiting to be opened, pondered through and used. I have a challenge for you. At some point over the next seven days from reading this column, I challenge you to open up one of those cookbooks. Not one that you received as a gift, but one that you purchased yourself with your hard earned money. I want you to relive the moment
l
CHEF DEZ on COOKING
when you bought it. The moment when you are flipping through the pages with excitement and motivation, saying to yourself “I gotta have this book” as you lay your cold hard cash down on the counter. Find those recipes again, and this time, make them. Motivation can easily be stimulated from outside sources (such as cookbook recipes in this case), but true motivation comes from within you. You have to take that first step, the steps that follow, and the final step to make something happen. If you are truly discouraged with the same old meals you are making, you will find a way to make this happen. Many cookbooks simply just gather dust because we either forget about them, or more likely find that there is too much emotional pain to learn new recipes and we stick with what we know... it’s easier. I guarantee you this however, if you take the steps, and keep trying (even through times of possible mistakes or failures), you will succeed. Your meals will become new again and with any luck you will find happiness in your new found inspiration that has been there with you, waiting for you, all along. Take this success and let it inspire you to keep learning new recipes. Chances are you have a kitchen and plan to continue to eat the rest of your life, so this will not be a waste of your time. I could at this time also make the suggestion of searching the internet for recipe ideas, but I think that with your vested interest in the cookbooks you have already purchased, you will be more driven (and in the end, more fulfilled) to create this victory yourself. Please feel free to email me (dez@chefdez.com) to tell me about your cooking adventures in this challenge. I would love to hear from you. Happy Cooking!

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian women. One in nine (11%) Canadian women is expected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime (this means by age 90). Approximately 23,800 women are expected to be diagnosed in Canada in 2014. On average, that’s 446 Canadian women every week. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women aged 20-59,

accounting for 37% of new cancer cases. In Canada, 4,408 women under age 50 are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. About 1,100 are under the age of 40. Though the numbers seem small, younger women with breast cancer have many unique needs and require age-appropriate support. As released by the Canadian Cancer Society Fall 2013.
Reduce your risk MOVE IT! Compared to no physical activity, exercising five hours a week can substantially reduce your risk. Bike, run, dance, walk your dog, jump on the bed with your kids…it’s all good. TOSS THE FRIES! Opt for a low-fat, high-fibre diet that includes lots of fruits and veggies. Also, try to limit red meat and animal fats… choose olive oil instead. BUTT OUT! Smoking kills people! Get help quitting. STAY FIT! Maintain a healthy body weight. We know this means something different to everyone, but keep in mind that extra fat cells make extra estrogen. MAKE A BABY! If you’re planning on having babies, try to start early (before your 35th birthday) and breastfeed (if possible). Interrupting consistent estrogen exposure through pregnancy and breastfeeding is a good thing.
DO YOUR HRT HOMEWORK! Before taking Hormone Replacement Therapy, consider all sides. Recent use of combination HRT has been shown to increase your risk of breast cancer. Long-term use puts you at greater risk. GET YOUR VITAMIN D! Studies have shown Vitamin D helps regulate normal breast cell growth. Plus, there’s a possible link between a low Vitamin D level and a higher risk of breast cancer. The best sources are sun exposure, vitamin D3 supplements and oily fish. GO ORGANIC! Synthetic chemicals and many pesticides used in food production, processing and packaging end up in food. Choose organic when you can (especially for the “dirty dozen”). Also, wash and peel your fruits and veggies to reduce pesticides.
BUY FRESH FOOD! Limit use of canned foods and plastics and get your food from the farm, not the factory. Processed foods are usually full of fat, sugar, salt, and preservatives. Also, chemicals in the packaging can leach out of the container into your food. Only use plastics with recycling code #1, 2, 4 and 5. Avoid containers with recycling codes #3, 6 and 7. COOK AND STORE FOOD SAFELY! Avoid using nonstick pans at high heat and never cook or heat food in plastic because harmful chemicals can be released into your food. Use stainless steel, glass, ceramic and cast iron pots, pans and storage containers. GO “GREEN” AROUND THE HOUSE! Use green or organic cleaners and household supplies that are safer for you and better for the environment. Check out www. toxicnation.ca/guides for tips on reducing toxins in your body and home.
KNOW YOUR FAMILY HISTORY! Get info about any type of cancer in your blood relatives (mom’s and dad’s side) as well as the age of diagnosis. Share all this info with your doctor and be sure to update them of any new cancer diagnosis within the family. KNOW YOUR OWN HISTORY TOO! Let your doctor know if you received radiation therapy for acne or Hodgkin’s disease as a girl or young woman or if you had a prior breast biopsy, even if the results were noncancerous. BE HAPPY! There’s no proven link between stress and breast cancer but reducing it can improve your quality of life. Keep a positive attitude, learn to relax and maintain your emotional health. See rethinkbreastcancer.com for more information on helping prevent breast Cancer.

Victory at last MEI wins prestigious tournament Paul ESAU Abbotsford News
In the near decade that the MEI Eagles senior boys volleyball team has been attending the prestigious Panther International in Spruce Grove, Alta., they’ve never managed to walk away with the title. That is until this weekend. Obviously the MEI side (currently ranked first among B.C. AA squads) has been building up some formidable frustration through all those years of foiled dreams, because during the course of the two-day tournament the team compiled eight straight game victories with an astonishing 16-1 set win-to-loss ratio. MEI tore through the 24-team tournament with one purpose, which they accomplished Saturday afternoon while facing the fourth-ranked team in Manitoba, the AAAA Steinbach Secondary Sabres. The 2014 version of the Panther International Tournament included seven of the top ten AAAA squads in Alberta plus elite teams from Manitoba and Saskatchewan. MEI was the only representative from B.C. on the boys side. Undersized compared to most of the other squads, the Eagles didn’t enter the tournament as favourites, but their tenacity and defense eventually carried the day. “Every game felt like a sort of David and Goliath in terms of the size of the teams,” said MEI coach Jordan
Geransky, “but we just have a superskilled group that would grind out wins over and over. It was cool to be able to upset all these teams that weren’t expecting much of us.” The Eagles faced an additional obstacle in the absence of their key leftside hitter Jordan Loewen, who went down with an injury a week before the tournament. Geransky initially worried that Loewen’s absence would cause his team to mentally throw in the towel, only to watch them adapt perfectly to the loss of their most proficient point-producer. “Everyone had to contribute,” he said. “With Loewen out of the lineup, it really kind of messed with the way our offence normally runs, so instead our offence was spread throughout the entire lineup. Levi Block…was our kill leader for the tournament, but that’s not a role that he’s normally put in. He’s a libero in club volleyball and is normally a passing player.” Block had 56 kills over the 17 sets. Teammate Kaden Gamache contributed 47 kills, while libero Keaton Boughen had 26 digs. In the championship game against Steinbach, MEI took the first set 25-23, before falling behind by nine points in the second. Despite the deficit, the Eagles almost came back to sweep the set, but eventually fell 25-22. In the best-of-three format, the third set is only played to fifteen points, and MEI scraped out the victory 15-11.

Cascades beat CIS champs The UFV Cascades men’s soccer team has made a habit over the last few season of being a thorn in the side of the UBC Thunderbirds. The reigning twotime CIS champion Thunderbirds were well on their way to an undefeated season last weekend, until the Cascades ground out a 2-1 victory on Saturday to hand UBC a first loss. It’s the second time in two years the Cascades have spoiled a T-Birds undefeated streak. “We seem to have a little bit of incentive when we play them,” Cascades head coach Alan Errington acknowledged. “Without trying to give too much away, I think the tactics we play against them suit us. The victory enabled the Cascades (5-4-1) to leapfrog the UBC Okanagan Heat (45-1) for third place in the Pacific Division of Canada West. Colton O’Neill and Justin Sekhon scored for the UFV side in the victory The Cascades men tied the Victoria Vikes 1-1 on Saturday, while the Cascades women (7-1-2) fought UBC to a standstill on Friday in a 0-0 tie, before also drawing the Vikes 1-1 on Saturday.

Rocky start for Hadwin and Taylor Bateman blanked The first event of the 2015 PGA Tour, the Frys.com Open, wasn’t the doorcrashing success that Abbotsford’s Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor were hoping for, but Hadwin at least came away with a result to build on. The tournament was held over the weekend at the Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, Calif., and brought veterans and rookies alike into a new season of professional tour action. Hadwin came out firing with a cumulative -5 through two rounds, driving him deep into the top 15, but couldn’t hold it together down the stretch. His
four round total of 286 strokes (70, 69, 72, 75) left him tied for 53 overall with a -2 stroke finish. Bae Sang-Moon finished at -15 to win the event by two strokes and claim the $1,080,000 winner’s share. Hadwin earned $13,890 with his placing, which is the most he’s made at the PGA level since his fourthHADWIN place finish at the RBC Canadian Open in 2011. Taylor didn’t make the cut after finish-
ing the first round at par (72) and then completing a second at two-over (74). Both players won their PGA tour cards playing on the 2014 Web.com tour, cementing their status in the final playoff tournament in September. Hadwin finished first on the money list by virtue of his playoff exploits, granting him fully exempt status for the entirety of the 2015 tour. Taylor squeaked in the back door with a phenomenal final round of the final playoff tournament, but, because he lacks Hadwin’s exempt status, will only play select PGA events this season.

by Pitt Meadows
Last week’s offensive production (culminating in a 35-6 result against Samuel Robertson) simply wasn’t to be found by the Robert Bateman Timberwolves Friday as they were frustrated again and again by the green tide of the Pitt Meadows Marauders en
route to a 14-0 home defeat. The Timberwolves were chomping at the heels of the Marauders in the standings prior to the match-up, but are now sporting a sedate 2-3 record in the AA Eastern Conference compared to Pitt Meadows’s 4-1. The game was a little perplexing for a Timberwolves squad that has the offensive weapons to score, but simply couldn’t find a way to bring them into play. Josh Friskie once again danced between tackles at quarterback until three interceptions in the first half sidelined him for the second. Running back Austen Zacher ripped a turnover from the arms of an unsuspecting opponent, pulverized Marauder flesh down the middle, and galvanized the Bateman running game, yet all without picking up a single TD. When it mattered, the Pitt Meadows defence stood firm, and the Timberwolves were forced into a stalemate second half already down by 14. The critical play of the game came in the final minutes of the first half when, after Zacher forced a turnover to set Bateman up for the final drive of the half, the Timberwolves themselves coughed up the ball and Pitt Meadows sprang free for a second touchdown. “They had a big explosion play at the very end of the half,” said Timberwolves coach Dan Village after the game. “A last second touchdown on a 40 yard bomb, that’s a big play.” Still, Village was proud of his team, and complimented their defensive effort. “We need to work on limiting our mistakes on offense and finetuning our plays…but our defence was lights out. Devin Sidhu and Austen Zacher are kind of our studs at linebacker…those guys are our defensive anchors and the others rally around them.” The Timberwolves play again at home next Friday against the Earl Marriot Mariners at 3 p.m.
