Arrest made in Yarrow murder Clay Warkentin facing first degree charge

he evidence is growing day by day: People are coming to Chilliwack.

Last month’s home sales in the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB) area made for the hottest February since they started keeping records.

There were 283 home sales last month, a 42 per cent increase over last year. Those sales were worth $98 million, a 54 per cent increase over February 2015.

With a strong economy in B.C., consumer confidence high in the region and staggering house prices in Metro Vancouver, an increasing move east for some is inevitable, and CADREB expects the housing market to remain “brisk” in Chilliwack in the coming months.

Data from one truck rental company adds to the evidence, showing year-over-year in-migration trends on the rise locally.

layton Warkentin looked sullen, tired, defeated even, at his first appearance in Chilliwack court Monday morning facing first degree murder charges in connection with the Feb. 24 death of a woman thought to be his mother.

The 19-year-old wore a black, longsleeve shirt in the prisoner’s box, the word “Family” tattooed on the left side of his neck. He made no eye contact with the group of approximately 10 people who were in the courtroom for his appearance.

Warkentin was arrested without incident on March 4 and charged with the death of a 51-year-old Chilliwack woman who is yet to be named.

A spokesperson for the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said the suspect and the victim knew each other, and the incident appears to be domestic in nature, however, no new information will be released since the matter is before the courts.

Individuals familiar with the family and the incident have been posting on social media that the victim was his mother.

U-Haul named Chilliwack the number two growth city in Canada for 2015, one spot ahead of Victoria and one behind Toronto.

That’s based on the net gain of incoming one-way U-Haul truck rentals versus outgoing rentals. Last year 55.7 per cent of truck rental customers came into the city, a 26 per cent increase over the same period last year.

“It’s no surprise that people from across B.C. and Canada are discovering what a great community Chilliwack is to live, work and play,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz said in a U-Haul press release. “With housing prices on the rise in the Lower Mainland, more people are starting to look outside the big city and are finding a hidden gem in Chilliwack.”

In February, CADREB reported strong sales in all categories of homes but particularly single family homes, at 163 sales.

And while all this activity will inevitably lead to some increase in home prices, it still { See GROWTH, page A4 }

uspicious barrels, a blind dog and rotting dairy products have made for a cross-border mystery for a family in the Columbia Valley.

Yolanda Versterre and Brian Patterson run an organic vegetable farm on Henderson Road right next to the border with Washington State.

The couple have two dogs, Tamra and Chief. Late last summer as they were in Vancouver one weekend at farmers markets, they got a call from Yolanda’s daughter, Rose.

“She said Tamra took off, she went looking and couldn’t find her,” Yolanda said.

The next day, Rose walked along the road adjacent to the Canada-U.S. border across which are a number of farm properties, some with better fences than others.

Finally, an older couple from the U.S. side responded to Rose and asked if she was missing a big, blonde dog.

“The lady said ‘She’s just back here, she had a rough night and got into some stuff, we’ve just been watching over her,’” Yolanda said.

Yolanda Versterre and Brian Patterson’s dog Tamra is blind after an international adventure last summer.

When a Columbia Valley farmer’s dog went missing and came back blind, they started to question what was inside their American neighbour’s black barrels When they finally did get Tamra back, the dog was covered in a clear, oily substance with a distinct odour.

The dog had blisters inside her mouth, her kidney and liver were damaged, according to blood tests, and she was nearly, if not completely, blind.

And that smell. It was something they’ve smelled before on certain evenings in the summer, when the weather is just right.

“We always thought something was not right because it’s such an odd smell,” Yolanda said.

About 200 metres up the road from their farm, Shalefield Organic Gardens, the fencing along the border deteriorates to the point that there are several openings big enough for a person to walk through.

And visible on one property are dozens of 200-litre barrels stacked on pallets, most wrapped in plastic.

What toxic substance bad enough to blind a dog is stored in those bar-

vegetables, whey from cheese makers, waste eggs, even brew mash from a local brewery.

But rotting ice cream ingredients?

“More rotten the better,” he said.

“Seriously. Anything dairy and fermented is probably next in line to hazelnuts.”

But Yolanda and Brian say they don’t think there are pigs on the farm anymore. And if not, what is the land owner doing with the barrels?

Tamra and Chief are farm dogs that tend to run around, and in this location, sometimes over the border so it might be hard to fault a property owner in the U.S. for a trespassing Canadian dog.

Still, Yolanda says if this could happen to Tamra, there must be some sort of hazard on the property.

“If my dog can fall into it, what about kids, other animals, what about the water table?” Yolanda asks.

As for Tamra, she may not be able to see anymore but she’s on the mend, frisky and friendly and seemingly as happy as a dog should be.

And Yolanda says she’s staying closer to home now.

“I’m so glad she is still here because she is just an amazing dog.”

pales in comparison to the unaffordability crisis in some communities in Metro Vancouver.

“Inventory, the number of local listings on the market, remains a challenging situation for buyers and their agents,” CADREB president Richard Admiraal said. “It’s good to see that sales are up and activity strong, and it is fair to say that with a robust market and limited inventory, prices are likely to continue to edge upward.”

Inventory of just over 1,000 listings is well below the 1,369 at the

Ten days before that, on Jan. 6, he posted: “Everything was taken from me, my money my health and just who I am, I suffered from depression and wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for the people I have in my life who made me happy, motivated me and got me back on my feet, to all of you I met from the beginning till now I say thank you, you all helped me in your own ways #loveitkillit #TYB.” Connected to the same court file, Warkentin also faces a charge of fear of injury/damage to property from April 26, 2015, and a breach from Sept. 25. A trial on that breach is scheduled for March 22.

Warkentin is next due in court for a video appearance on March 15.

Limited local housing inventory same time last year. Still, Admiraal suggested that with 38 per cent of all residential sales under the $300,000 mark, there is still plenty of affordable housing in the market.

Local realtor Ian Hornby said that over the past year, he’s seen a surge in homebuyers leaving Metro Vancouver to snatch up hobby farms in Ryder Lake, in particular.

“We’ve seen more and more people coming out from North Vancouver, selling $3-million homes

and buying 10 acres (for $700,000 to $900,000),” Hornby said in an article in the Province.

“More people coming out from Cloverdale, a lot of people from New Westminster, Vancouver, selling old houses (and) moving out here, buying a small acreage with a bigger, newer, nicer house, a new car and putting money in the bank.”

Hornby estimates half those buying in the community come from Metro Vancouver.

s horror and disgust is expressed across the country and beyond at the now-famous video of cows being violently abused by young men at a local dairy farm—the largest in Canada—there are those keen to defend not only the industry but the farm owners themselves.

Chilliwack Cattle Sales, the Kooyman brothers who own the farm, and seven employees face a total of 20 animal cruelty charges in connection with the undercover video shot in 2014 by Los Angeles-based animal rights group Mercy for Animals.

“The video of the egregious and sadistic cruelty at this Chilliwack dairy farm speaks for itself,” Mercy for Animals general counsel Vandhana Bala told the Times last week.

The video is hard to watch. Animals are clearly suffering. The actions are impossible to defend.

But Danica Webster created a Facebook group soon after the story broke about the Mercy for Animals video nearly two years ago.

“This page is in Support of Chilliwack Cattle,” says the brief “about” description. “We do not support abuse, but we do support the dairy industry.”

The Facebook page received more than 1,000 likes then lay dormant after a post on June 21, 2014 until the story broke last week about the charges against the employees and company directors.

Anger in search of a target, Webster’s Facebook page did just fine.

From the Facebook account Slovenska Kocka, apparently from Nanaimo: “You. Maggots. Animal abusers!!! You really. Should get what you deserve!!!! Be. Beat you up.

To die!!! And after. Pick you with the tractors by you neck.”

Look past the punctuation and grammar, real anger not directed at the company or the employees, but at Webster who says she has no direct contact with Chilliwack Cattle Sales.

And more. Kristie Dixon Mann from Osceola Mills, Pennsylvania wrote: “Shane [sic] on you people there is a place in hell for people like you and remember karma is a bitch and she will find each and every one of you if someone don’t already…”

And from even further afield, Peter Andreassen who appears to be in Denmark wrote: “May you burn in hell, you Bastards!!!!”

Those are just the ones suitable for print.

Recognizing women’s rights

◗ Publisher

T

his week we once again recognized the women in our world on International Women’s Day. Sure, we recognize them every day. They are our mothers, sisters, daughters, friends and colleagues.

So if we recognize them every day, do we still need an International Women’s Day? Hasn’t it pretty much been accepted that we need equality between the sexes? That women deserve the same rights as the rest of us?

Yes. The answer to all those questions is yes.

Granted, we’ve come a long way since the United Nations invited their member states to proclaim March 8 as the official UN Day for Women’s Rights and World Peace in 1977, but women are still, throughout the world, well behind men in terms of their rights and privileges.

Even here in Canada, where we value women’s equality much more than some other places around the world, federal Status of Women critic Sheila Malcomson issued a statement saying we need to do even better.

And she’s right.

So, yes. International Women’s Day is still important.

Because in making the world a better place for women, we make the world a better place for everyone.

And don’t we all want to live in a better world?

Legislation must protect vulnerable

O

ne year ago last month, the Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark Carter decision declared existing laws against assisted suicide unconstitutional. While the Court’s decision legalizes assisted suicide, Parliament has been given a role to play in legislating limits, conditions and safeguards on the practise of assisted suicide, within terms set by the Court.

When I bring up the issue of assisted suicide with my constituents, many are unaware that the law is changing and are alarmed that such a major change to Canadian society could have advanced so far without a comprehensive national conversation on the issue.

People are often surprised to learn that the Court did not reserve assisted suicide for those who are suffering from a terminal illness, but have instead opened the door to allowing individuals with a “grievous and irremediable medical condition” experiencing “intolerable suffering” to access it. This has been described as the most permissive and least restrictive criteria for assisted suicide in the world.

The Council of Canadians with Dis-

MP MARK STRAHL Be Our Guest abilities and the Canadian Association of Community Living has produced an excellent commentary on the Court’s decision, warning that persons with disabilities, including people with serious mental and emotional disabilities, have been put at serious risk. They have also provided sobering statistics. “In Belgium, the number of Assisted Suicide deaths has increased an average of 47.77 per cent annually since 2003, and in the Netherlands it has increased 64.13 per cent since 1995, with no end in sight to this increase.” They have called on Parliament to “place crucial safeguards on the Court’s judgment to limit access to assisted suicide.”

Unfortunately, a recently released Joint Parliamentary Committee Report on assisted suicide has gone the other way, suggesting that doctor-assisted suicide should even be made available to minor children and those struggling

with mental illnesses. As a result, Conservative members on the committee have filed a dissenting report recommending stronger protections for the vulnerable.

While I have heard from hundreds of my constituents who oppose assisted suicide, I know that there are others who support the concept in principle and in certain circumstances. Having watched a number of family members and friends ranging in age from 13 to 85 die from cancer over the last few years, I understand the desire to ease the suffering of those we love, as much as possible. I believe that instead of embracing euthanasia as the only solution, the federal government should be doing more, in concert with the provinces, to promote and expand comprehensive palliative care services right across the country. We also need to continue the national conversation about improving our mental health system of care, which is currently failing too many Canadians.

Rona Ambrose has promised Conservative MPs a free vote on the government’s legislation and I hope that all party leaders will follow suit. This

issue is a matter of conscience for me and for many Canadians.

I believe that any new law on assisted suicide must protect the most vulnerable in our society including minor children, the disabled, the elderly and those with mental illness and psychological suffering. Any new law must completely and fully protect the rights of medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists and caregivers to opt out of providing assisted suicide services or referrals if their personal conscience, beliefs or ethics do not permit them to do so. In short, I believe the law must restrict access to assisted suicide to the greatest extent possible and if it does not, I will oppose it.

There is still time for Canadians to make their views known on what should be in the government’s bill. I look forward to hearing from many of you on this most important issue in the days and weeks ahead. ◗ Mark Strahl is the Member of Parliament for Chilliwack-Hope.

development would have consumed the vast majority of valuable agricultural land (Kim Sutherland. 2015. The land that feeds us: the value of farmland in the Fraser Valley. Footprint Press Issue), and the Fraser Valley would be covered by urban sprawl similar to the Los Angeles, CA area.

British Columbians value farmland highly, indicating that the value of local farm production, green space, wildlife habitat, and other ecological services provided by these lands far exceed the value of what they produce every year.

Indeed, a study conducted in 2009 (M Robbins, N. Olewiler and M Robinson. 2009. An estimate of the public amenity benefits and ecological goods provided by farmland in Metro Vancouver. Available from: www.fraserbasin.bc.ca/_Library/ FVR/fvr_public_amentity_benefits_of_farmland_report_2009.pdf) concluded that while in 2006 the value of farm products produced by farmland in Metro Vancouver was $5,750/acre, 95 per cent of the households in Metro Vancouver valued the market value of goods produced and ecological services provided by these lands at $58,000/ acre/year; tenfold the value of the land production alone. If this public value is preserved in perpetuity, to estimate a value similar to a market vale, it becomes $1.16 billion.

Climate change is the single largest factor affecting food security worldwide.

Although not much attention has been given to the effects of climate change on B.C.’s agriculture, it is likely that in the future our food crops will be affected, directly or indirectly, and in unpredictable ways by a number of biological, physical and socioeconomic factors. Presently, British Columbia is highly dependent on California for most of our fruits and vegetables.

However, California is suffering from a long-term drought that is likely to intensify as climate change evolves. These factors indicate that the security of our food supply may be at risk (A. Ostry, C. Miewald and R Beveridge. 2011. Climate change and food security in British Columbia.

Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions. 34pp. Available from pics.uvic. ca/sites/default/files/uploads/publications/Food%20Security_2011. pdf) unless, as a society, we strive to protect our farmland assets from use in irreversible non-agricultural use.

For the reasons we have presented, we are requesting that you reject this application as it is neither in the interest of the people of our communities, British Columbians, nor Canadians, and it helps to erode the much needed safeguard of farmlands in B.C.

Need to safeguard our farm land Editor: Mr. Darcey Kohuch, District of Kent, Re: Notice of Exclusion Application Regarding Land in the Agricultural Land Reserve served by 586611 B.C. Ltd of P.O. Box 355, Agassiz, BC V0M 1A0.

The Chilliwack Field Naturalists is a club founded in 1971, and is affiliated with BC-Nature (formerly the Federation of BC Naturalists), a province-wide organization of Naturalists Clubs. Our club membership comprises people from the Chilliwack, Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs, and Hope areas. Our motto, “To Know Nature And To Keep It Worth Knowing” reflects our deep interest and concern for nature and the environment of Canada and B.C. in general, and of the eastern Fraser Valley in particular.

It has come to our attention the publication of a notice of exclusion application for land in the Agricultural Land Reserve in the Feb. 25 edition of the Agassiz Harrison Observer, and we would like to make you aware of our concerns with this application.

Agricultural soils in the Fraser Valley are the most productive and profitable in Canada, due to their intrinsic properties, the climate of the area, and the reliable availability of water for irrigation. The agricultural area of the Fraser Valley comprises 110,000 hectares of fertile and highly productive agricultural soils stretching throughout the Fraser Valley from Delta to Hope. These soils generate nearly $2 billion in farm receipts annually which is 4.5 per cent of Canada’s farm gate receipts, on just 0.2 per cent the farmland (Statistics Canada, 2011 Census of Agriculture).

In spite of the economic success of agriculture in the Fraser Valley, the sector is present only because agricultural soils have been protected from alternate uses by being placed in the Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR). Indeed in the views of many experts, without the protection of the ALR and the legislation that governs it, irreversible urban sprawl and

Editor: I can’t debate the “silent majority” issue in Seonaigh MacPherson’s letter dissing Paul Henderson and the Times, but I can correct some of her “facts” regarding the Kinder Morgan project.

Fact 1: I know of no evidence that diluted bitumen (“dilbit”) is more toxic than other crudes that the original pipeline first carried.

It is arguably less toxic than the gasoline carried in that line for many years. She makes a point that dilbit is new to the pipeline since its original construction, but so is gasoline and several other products now shipped in the original line—all passed requirements to be shipped. And no, don’t believe the claims that the bitumen diluent (mainly natural gas condensate) has high levels of benzene and that the composition of it is secret —check crude monitor.ca under “condensate”—a site open to the public.

Fact 2: The pipeline may go under school yards (not a preferred option) but does not and will not go under schools or other buildings themselves. Pipelines in Canada are not run under buildings except in company meter and pump stations, because they would block inspection access to the pipelines. When I ran pipelines, all cases of pipelines near schools were there because long after we built the pipelines, municipalities, despite our protests, built public building near our lines. Then the complaints begin decades later by those who do not know, or perhaps do not care, about the history.

Fact 4: Yes, there were many pipeline failures in California during earthquakes; many of the earthquakes, contrary to Ms. Macpherson’s “facts,” were not mild. A 2008 study by the U.S. and California Geological Surveys states “There is a long record of oil and gas transmission pipeline failures in California earthquakes due to ground shaking and liquefaction. The large majority of these have been joint failures where the joints were constructed using oxy‐acetylene welds installed prior to approximately 1930. Pipelines constructed using electric arc welding (post‐1930) have performed much better.” For example, the 2002 Alaska quake (7.9 magnitude) badly shook the Trans Alaska crude oil pipeline but there were no leaks.

Life is more than just walking in circles

BY CRAIG BYERS Keystone Church

S

aturday I was enjoying a rare sunny day so I thought I’d go down to the river for a walk on the Rotary trail.

Wasn’t long before curiosity got the best of me and I took one of the worn paths beaten down by the fishermen that lead to the water’s edge. I found myself a sweet little spot where I could listen to the water, watch the men with rod and reel, and allow the sunshine to work its charms.

It didn’t take long to realize the fishermen weren’t having much success. After one of them had packed up and started to head home for the day I asked if he’d had any luck to which he replied, “No, just walking in circles.”

Walking in circles.

I can’t shake the grasp of his statement. Life sure can feel like we exist to just walk through the same circumstances, same troubles, the same predictable schedules and routines. Tomorrow brings more of today. Walking in circles held hostage by forces and events seemingly out of our control.

Gideon knew this kind of life.

In Judges 6:13 He sarcastically asks the angel who has come to deliver God’s message to him, “If God really cares about me and my people why has all this stuff happened to us?” Understand Gideon was secretly threshing wheat in a winepress to hide what he was doing from his enemies as they would come to steal his harvest and livelihood if they discovered it. He was bitter, unable to live life freely as he desired and resented God for it.

Round and round he went doing the same thing over and over again without much hope of ever enjoying the fruits of his labours.

Where was God? Why had God abandoned him?

Deep within all of us is a desire, a drive, even a passion to experience new things, to meet new people and visit places we’ve never been. We desire to defy the odds and limitations others and life have put on us and become a successful somebody. Children are born with it . . . they won’t quit until they get what they want. Our human experience was never intended to be one where we settle for the status quo. That’s a learned

behaviour shaped by our disappointments and failures along with the shame they bring.

Just like in Gideon’s life, God cares about our quality of life and attempts to involve Himself even to the point of offering His inexhaustible resources to not only set us free from what troubles us but to truly bring a transformation to how we see ourselves and our fit in the world around us.

Arise

When we put our trust in Him He breaks the cycle of sin and shame, adopts us into His family and gives us a whole new identity. In one place the Bible says “all the old stuff is gone and now everything has been made brand new.” Life and circumstance do not have to define you.

Gideon went from having a very low self-esteem, fearful and bitter towards God, to having a courageous heart in the face of insurmountable odds. With God’s help he led his people to a great deliverance and victory.

Maybe today you’re angry with God. Perhaps, like Gideon, you blame Him for your troubles. I can assure you that somehow or somewhere you’ve misunderstood God by viewing Him through the lens of hurt, frustration and disappointment. With Easter just around the corner why don’t you make a decision to attend a church service and discover or rediscover the hope that He gives all of His children.

You can have a hope that tomorrow will be different then today.

UFV events focus on health Youth mental health panel and T nursing student health fair March 14 Michael Gaetz, an associate professor in the UFV kinesiology department. As moderator, Gaetz will draw upon his expertise in clinical neurophysiology, stress and chronic disease, and pathophysiology.

Admission for this event is free and open to the UFV community and the general public.

Running on the same day as the mental health panel is the annual Health Fair.

From tips for grandparents on how to support breastfeeding to the facts about “study drugs” for university students, this year’s Health Fair offers advice for the entire family.

Running 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on March 14, in the atrium of Building A on the Chilliwack campus, the fair is hosted by fourth-year UFV’s Bachelor of Science in nursing students, continuing a tradition that spans nearly 15 years. Fairs traditionally operate once in the spring and fall, with students creating booths and

offering advice on approved health promotion topics.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for people of all ages to ask our nursing students questions and learn about health-related resources in our community,” says co-organizer and BSN assistant professor Kate McCulloch.

The fair has a longstanding history of allowing students to prepare for relevant health promotion topics and deliver accurate, important information on a variety of health topics to a variety of ages.

This year’s topics include 13 displays: stress and lifestyle management, healthy sleep habits, physical activity, screen time for young children, childhood mental health, healthy childhood weights, study drugs, mental wellness for university students, emergency preparedness, breastfeeding promotion, effects of UV rays/tanning booths, effects of smoking, and hypertension (high blood pressure).

he University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) is offering two health-focused events in Chilliwack on March 14.

At noon, a panel of youth mental health advocates will be discussing current challenges and possible directions related to youth mental health in our communities. And running all day is a health fair in the atrium, presented by nursing students.

The panel discussion, part of the School of Health Sciences Dean’s Speaker Series, takes place from noon to 1 p.m. in the Aboriginal Gathering Place (A1457) at the UFV Chilliwack campus at Canada Education Park.

Youth mental health is an emerging topic of concern to communities around the world. At the provincial level, it is estimated that 140,000 children and youth in British Columbia experience mental health disorders.

Selected from a diverse range of fields, organizations and areas in the Fraser Valley, the panelists will be: David Bayne, Karen Copeland, Tia Noble, Tasha Couture, Paul Enns and Trish Lewis.

The panel will be moderated by

Chiefs quickly derail Express

BY GREG LAYCHAK glyachak@chilliwacktimes.com

E

fficiently finishing a series that saw two overtime wins from the Chilliwack Chiefs, the local hockey squad won their fourth game of the BCHL round one playoffs with a 5-1 win over the Coquitlam Express on Tuesday.

It was a resounding win, with the Chiefs keeping the Express off the scoreboard until posting four goals of their own.

With goals from Kale Kane, Jake Smith and Rylan Bechtel in the opening period, followed by one from Mark Esposito early in frame two, the Chiefs looked to be eager to finish the series early.

A goal by Coquitlam’s Austin McIlmurray ended that streak near the end of the second period, as he scored the last goal his team would see in 2015-16.

And Ryan Forbes was the lone scorer in the final 20 minutes, adding to his four game post-season stats.

The win gave Chiefs goalie Aidan Pelino his fourth ‘W’ in the brief playoff run so far, earning him a goals against average of 1.69 and a save percentage of .931 in post-season play.

Tuesday’s win followed a much closer win for Chilliwack to put game three away at Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre the

night before.

That contest had the Chiefs and Express neck-and-neck through the game, both teams scoring a goal in the first period, two in the second frame and none in the final 20 minutes of regulation time.

It was Austin Adam’s OT goal that edged the Chiefs to a third victory, setting the team up for Tuesday’s series sweep.

Earlier, in the first two Chiefs-Express matchups at Prospera last Friday and Saturday, Chilliwack won 3-2 in OT and 9-1 respectively.

Jordan Kawaguchi’s two goals in the first game kept things tied while his teammate Forbes scored the winning goal in OT. In Saturday’s game, seven Chiefs shared the scoring duties: Jake Smith (2), Aaron O’Neill (2), Jeremy Germain, Vimal Sukumaran, Kale Kane, Kohen Olischefski, and Dennis Cholowski. ◗ Making short work of their divisional rival gives the Chiefs a rest before they face the winner of the parallel Mainland series, a matchup between the Wenatchee Wild and the Langley Rivermen. That race stands at 2-1 for Wenatchee with game four scheduled to be played in Langley Wednesday night as the Times goes to press.

Rookie of the Year

After a second round of polling of the league’s head coaches the BCHL announced the winners of the BCHL’s five major individual awards, including Chilliwack’s Vimal Sukumaran for the Bruce Allison Memorial Trophy (Rookie of the Year).

She was named MVP of the Grizzlies senior girls basketball team in 2014-15, and showcased her multi-sport bona fides as MVP of Graham’s junior girls volleyball squad in 2013-14. She said she chose UFV “because of the chemistry I have with the coaches and some players already.”

Sartori voted to first all-star team

Kayli Sartori of the women’s UFV squad was voted first team all-stars by Canada West on Monday, as the conference unveiled its all-star and all-rookie teams. After sitting out the 2014-15 season, Sartori rejoined the Cascades last fall and averaged 18.4 points per game to win the Canada West scoring title and finish fourth nationally in that department. She also ranked among the league leaders in rebounding (7.7 per game, 11th), assists (4.5 apg, fourth), blocks (1.5 bpg, fourth) and steals (2.3 spg, eighth). Sartori becomes the second player in team history to earn conference first team all-star recognition, following closely in the footsteps of Sarah Wierks (201415). It’s the second all-star award she’s earned as a Cascade—she was named to the CIS Final 8 All-Tournament team in 2014.

And in the battle for seventh in the tournament, GWG lost to Holy Cross 64-48 on Saturday. Deanna Tuchsherer earned an all-star team honourable mention for her play over the four days.

8 years in heaven, forever remembered.

A silent thought, a secret tear, keeps the memory forever dear.

Memories drift to scenes long past, time rolls on, the memories last.

Sunshine passes, shadows fall, Love’s remembrance outlasts all.

8 years in heaven, forever missed.

Love Mom, Tyler & Sydney
