Prescription does not have to be the same

efending herself with a well-placed karate kick to the gut of her female attacker, an Abbotsford woman sent a purse-snatcher reeling Saturday afternoon. The attack occurred as the victim was getting into her car after shopping at a mall in the 32800 block of South Fraser Way around 5:30 p.m. Saturday. The thief snuck up behind the woman, said “Hey,” then punched her in the face as she sat in the driver’s seat of her car, First reported @ all the while abbotsfordtimes.com trying to grab the victim’s purse, Const. Ian MacDonald said. Luckily, he added, the victim was able to defend herself — and keep her purse. “She did a karate-style kick to the abdomen of the attacker and started honking her horn like crazy,” MacDonald said. “This caused the suspect to flee, both because she was kicked in the gut and the noise emanating from the car.” The suspect is described as five-feet six inches tall, medium build, dark brown hair tied into a ponytail, in her mid-20s, wearing a white and purple hoodie. She fled the scene in a late-80s, grey or brown four-door Jeep Cherokee driven by someone else. MacDonald said the incident is concerning, as Abbotsford police have only had a small number of interactions involving females previously. Those incidents involved youth strongarming victims for a wallet or purse, or getting arrested for breaking and entering homes. “But nothing like this,” he said. MacDonald said the victim was very shaken by the attack, but commended her speedy reaction. “That was very quick thinking for being completely startled,” MacDonald said. “I guess the combat element was instinctive . . . [but] trying to draw attention to the situation was completely heads-up. That’s what we would advocate for people to do.” Anyone with information is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225.

Poking holes in harm reduction bylaws Abbotsford has some of the highest Hep C rates in B.C. ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

bbotsford’s anti-harm reduction bylaw is a major factor driving the city’s high Hepatitis C rates, according to experts. D a v i d Po r t e s i , Fr a s e r Health director of health promotion and prevention, emphasized the need to establish harm reduction measures in Abbotsford at a public forum focusing on Hepatitis C at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium Nov. 4. The Fraser East region, which includes Abbotsford, has the third highest reported rate of Hep C incidence in B.C., according to Fraser Health 2008 data.

expressed concer ns the survey was not reviewed by experts, the language level was too high for drug users, and the process does not draw on input from focus groups comprised of the population most impacted by the bylaws. How e v e r, s o m e p r o g ress has been made, said Shantz. City staff agreed to receive feedback from a group comprised of drug users and members of Abbotsford’s service community. Shantz said the drug user group’s goals are to obtain safe and assisted-injection sites and safe-smoking sites.

“They have the power to set up a facility if they choose, but to their credit they prefer persuasion to coercion.” – Mayor George Peary

Additionally, Abbotsford has a Hep C rate of 69.6 per 100,000 people compared to the surrounding municipalities of Chilliwack at a rate of 67.6, and Surrey at 60.2. Fraser Health funds three community organizations to provide and collect needles in Burnaby/New Westminster, Surrey and Chilliwack. Mission also has one service organization distributing needles on a limited basis. However, Fraser Health has not funded harm reduction services into Abbotsford because of its anti-harm reduction bylaws, said Portesi. Rather than strong arm the city, Fraser Health is trying to work cooperatively with Abbotsford while it examines its “anti-harm” reduction bylaws, he said. The city’s current bylaw has banned harm reduction facilities such as needle exchanges or injection sites in all zones of the city. The bylaw is presently undergoing a review by city staff but health experts and a local drug users advocacy group have concerns about the process. Barry Shantz, director of the BC/Yukon Association of Drug War Survivors (DWS), said the harm reduction survey and review process is flawed. Drug users are not being heard from in the process, said Shantz. Among other things, Fraser Health and DWS

“I know that’s a lot for Abbotsford to swallow at this time,” he said. Mayor George Peary concedes that health experts have made council aware of the Hep C rates in the city, which are “nothing to be proud of.” “Fraser Health has been patient with us. They believe our Hep C above-average rate is a consequence of our ban on needle exchanges,” Peary said. “ They have the power to set up a facility if they choose, but to their credit they prefer persuasion to coercion.” Peary said it is too early to predict what council would decide when revisiting the bylaws in the new year. However, he suggested a needle exchange might be a possibility, but a safe-injection site would never fly. He said council is waiting to hear from all the stakeholders and drug users are one member of a larger group. “There are strong feelings on all sides of the issue and we’re trying to listen to everyone.” Portesi said Fraser Health’s main concern is increasing the availability of clean needles for users in Abbotsford. “It’s so important because needle distribution programs reduce disease transmission and engage IV drug users in a discussion around their recovery and treatment and allow access to services to improve their health.

New home construction rises The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reports the pace of new home construction was up in Abbotsford during the month of October. There were 67 housing starts last month, compared to 52 starts during the same month last year. For the first ten months of the year, total housing starts in Abbotsford reached 418, compared to 298 during the same period last year. In Br itish Columbia, October’s seasonally adjusted rate of urban housing starts moved lower to 24,000 units, from 26,400 units in September.

onnie Law didn’t think much of it when a wasp stung her at the Hatzic Shell Station on Nov. 2. She simply brushed her arm and clambered back into the car being driven by her 19-yearold son Jake. But within minutes of starting off for their nearby home, Bonnie started feeling poorly.

Jake looked over at his mom. She was acting woozy and confused, and her arm was swelling up. Bonnie told him to just take her home, but Jake opted to turn around and take her to hospital instead. “Then I couldn’t breathe,” said Bonnie. “By the time we reached the Lougheed Highway, I was in and out of consciousness. That’s how fast it was.” The worse his mom got, the faster Jake drove. He started having to check that his mom was still breathing. see STINGER, page A16

Only follicles are a farce in this fight

e’re starting to show. No, my lady friend and I aren’t having a baby . . . I’m talking about myself and my sweet, cancer-fighting man-stache. You’ve likely heard about Movember, the ingenious fundraiser targeting prostate cancer by focusing on a man’s opposite end. Basically, it’s an excuse for men to unleash our inner Tom Selleck — while helping “change the face of men’s health” — by growing a mustache for the entire month of November. Donations are accepted and collected in exchange for this wild embarrassment, and then it all comes off Dec. 1. And mine, as I’ve said, is poking its curious head through an upper lip not accustomed to much more than chicken sauce and the froth of hoppy IPAs. Despite the fat mat of sandblond (OK, soil-brown) Velcro hair growing from my pointed melon, I’m somewhat facially follically challenged, and nothing has proven this point more than my Movember effort. Basically it’s going like this: Nov. 1: shave clean/rub off “whiskers”. Nov. 2 through 12: wait. This slow growth period has allowed ample research opportunity. For example: in 2010, tragically more than 4,400 men will die as a direct result of prostate cancer – ironically sobering, considering Movember was born over a few beers in Melbourne, Australia seven years ago. Inspired by the women around them and all they’d done for breast cancer,

DARREN MCDONALD

Inside addition the original Aussie Mo Bros set themselves on a course to create a global men’s health movement. Now clearly embraced throughout our country, funds raised through Movember’s Canadian campaign go directly to Prostate Cancer Canada, enabling them to fund vital research leading to better screening tests, treatment options and support services for men surviving prostate cancer. As for my personal efforts – in addition to making my face even less likeable – I’ve created a ‘Mospace’ page featuring photos and fundraising efforts. Why am I doing this? Because I could easily face this black demon one day, and I know what hell it brings. Three weeks ago, prostate cancer stole a friend’s father. Barry Pollard, 60, was loved and respected and handsome and strong and now he’s gone. An amazing chef (and hippie at heart), he was ripped from his wife, daughters and son because of this devastating disease, and the least I can do is look stupid for 30 days so maybe, one day, my now knee-high nephew doesn’t suffer the same fate while his children spend sleepless nights in a stale palliative ward. So I’m arming science with the ammunition it needs.

Every ‘Mospace’ donation immediately pops onto the page, with room for donors’ words of inspiration (or ridicule). I’m hoping early December brings a follow-up column celebrating the fact that our community, including the Abbotsford-Mission Times family, supports me with more than pointing and laughter. To keep tabs on my “progress” check here: http://ca.movember.com/ mospace/1098962/. If you decide to join the cause, donations can be made with a click of the mouse. But it’s not all fun and philtrums. Between you, me and the birdcage, there’s rumblings about Movember’s official rules, which clearly state November’s effort is meant for mustaches only. No burly beards – nothin’ but stiff upper lip service. I’ve drawing churlish chants that my long-standing (but short-cropped) chin hair stands in direct violation of Movember’s very soul. I say the bottom bit’s been around in some incarnation or another since college, so it stays. But I’m the sporting type. So: if I’m able to meet my goal and raise $1,000 by month’s end, I’ll carve it off – mustache, chin thing, the whole fuzzy wad. ~ Yours hairily, T.S. (a.k.a.

he timing may have been a bit of a shocker, but expectations of the inevitable had been growing for weeks. And now that we’ve had time to process the announcement, we’re no closer to knowing who’s at the helm of B.C.’s governing party. By the time Premier Gordon Campbell’s resignation was a day old, the province’s feelings of surprise had already faded. And dissection of his legacy and his leadership is running in full gear. Writ large on the negative side of his ledger are his inexcusable drinking driving conviction in Hawaii, unanswered questions about the B.C. Rail deal and, of course, the HST. Although all great projects have their detractors, his bottom line also includes the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. And he will likely be remembered as a builder of infrastructure: the Sea to Sky Highway and the Golden Ears Bridge come to mind, as well as guiding the Site C Dam project into the realm of possibility. Considering his predecessors, Campbell may yet be remembered for beating the odds at the end. Bill Vander Zalm left under the cloud of the Fantasy Gardens scandal, leaving his Social Credit Party with a credibility deficit from which it could not recover. Mike Harcourt left under the cloud of the Bingogate scandal (of which he was personally later cleared), with his New Democratic Party on the edge of ruins – and pushed over that edge by his successor, Glen Clark, whose storm cloud included a sun deck and fast ferries that are still used as a textbook example of what a government can do wrong. By the time Ujjal Dosanjh was done, the NDP was decimated, and it has not fully recovered. Campbell may have felt some heavy hands pushing him to the door, but the actual time of his departure was of his own choosing – and his choice may have left hope for recovery of the B.C. Liberal Party in time for the next election. Time will tell. But Campbell, who – love him or hate him – has given 25 years of his life to public office, will finally have some time for himself and for his family. And both his friends and his political enemies are happy for that. ■ To comment on this editorial, e-mail us at letters@abbotsfordtimes.com.

Defining moment for drugs In the discussion about Abbotsford’s serious drug problem and harm reduction policies, Mayor George Peary has raised a basic question: “Are drug users criminals or victims?” Implicit in this question is the more fundamental question: “Is drug addiction a disease?” “Drug addiction is a brain disease” says Dr. Nora Volkov. Some experts disagree. Abbotsford’s response to these basic questions will shape our taxation and treatment policies. If drug addiction is a disease it is surely a most unusual one. It is not carried by mosquitoes, flies, fleas, wasps or bats. No one has ever identified any germs or viruses which carry it into the bloodstream. For me the evidence is clear. Drug addiction is not a disease - it is a habit that produces disease. It causes serious brain disease which can kill. This disease is caused not by microbes but by bad behavior. I identify with George F. Koob’s definition that “drug addiction is a compulsion to take a drug.” That involves choice, not infection. I disagree with William Urell’s assertion that “addiction is not a behavior issue. In fact it is a disease.” If we are agreed on the basic realities, that addiction is not a disease and is not a victimization process,

but a voluntary action that causes disease, then let us act with compassion, understanding, and charity in dealing with the problem. John H. Redekop Abbotsford

Knowing the numbers game with city taxes

that surfaced at the budget meetings: every one per cent increase in tax translates to about a million dollars in revenue for our city. We know that our city is having to subsidize the E&SC to the tune of $2.6 million this year. So don’t look at the entire 3.5 per cent increase in operating expenses as a tax -- it’s more like a 0.9 per cent increase for operations, and a 2.6 per cent transfer of funds to the E&SC. Regina Dalton Abbotsford

Editor, the Times:

For the first time – at least in my memory – Abbotsford has decided to divide the “operating expense” and “capital expense” aspects of our increase in property taxes. Do our elected representative hope we can’t – or won’t – add? The headline of your November 5 issue reads “3.5% tax increase approved” – “Could climb to 4.5% in 2011”. Those of us who attended the budget meetings know that the plan is to collect a one per cent tax increase for “capital expense”. No ambiguity was evident at those meetings. Our tax increase for 2011 will be at least 4.5 percent. Voting on “operating” and “capital” increases at two separate council meetings is more than a tad disingenuous. Even those most challenged by math should be able to add 3.5 per cent to one per cent. “Could climb to 4.5% in 2011” would more accurately read “Will climb to 4.5% in 2011”.

We chose Dunach elementary while our children were still preschoolers. We considered many options and talked to many people and always came back to Dunach. There were many reasons for choosing it: the small size and focus on individualized learning, the “this is it” feeling we got on walking through the front doors, the option of our children attending from kindergarten all the way up to Grade 7,

Dunach doesn’t seem to have many options

as well as the heritage and traditional values evident from day one. Our children quickly felt at home and began to take pride in their small school. Dunach is our school of choice. The thought of losing our small school, of being forced into a school three times the population of Dunach and having our children become just one of the crowd is disheartening. There have been no options for saving Dunach presented by the Abbotsford School District during this consultation process. This whole process has been slanted toward closure. We understand what is really at stake here - the bottom line. But our children are not just numbers on a capacity utilization graph nor are they dollar signs. They are children in our care who have the right to the best education possible. For our family that is Dunach Elementary. We ask that the school district recognize our choice of a small, kindergarten to Grade 7 school instead of taking that choice away from us. Heidi and Sam Dick Abbotsford

We’re all storied creatures I f there is a universal currency that seems to have transcended country and culture across the ages of time, it certainly would not be the Canadian dollar, the English language, or a gift card to Starbucks. The currency of the ages is the story. I remember passing by an Aldo store full of people, shoes, and people buying shoes, which, at the outset, is totally normal. The giant advertisement in the window was, however, odd. Everything was in its right place; model in a short skirt, long legs, trendy shoes, and cool photography. The only odd part was the question on the advertisement: “What is your story?” Is Aldo selling shoes or stories? I think the Aldo execs in Montreal know something that the church

JEREMY POSTAL

Faith that matters has sometimes forgotten: our stories are important. Humans love to tell stories; they are somehow attached to our very nature. It’s not extravagance or heroism that tell the miracle of life so much as it is the ordinary moments that all add up to something. The sound a humming bird makes when it hovers in front of a flower, the feel of rain hitting your forehead after a hard day of work, your child’s first words, an old friend e-mailing to say ‘hi.’ We are storied creatures.

Right from a very young age we learn to think, believe, and even process the world around us through the context of story and narrative. Not only that, we like to turn life experience into story. For example, a significant experience, a trauma, a close call, a surprise – whatever the experience – we tend to remember as narrative. We don’t necessarily recall the details or get them all right, but that’s not the point. What matters is that we have this story and it somehow shapes how we view the world around us. It’s no wonder then that Jesus spent much of his time telling stories. He spent his time wandering around with a vagabond crowd of blue collar workers, terrorists, drunks, sextrade workers, the religious elite who he continually made fun of, and even a few

normal folks, telling them stories. Jesus told stories. Aldo gets it. Why shouldn’t we, or the Church? I’m not sure when or how proposition, water-tight logic, and longwinded homily took center stage, but it certainly hasn’t proven to be all that inspiring or compelling. I wonder what would happen if preachers spoke in the language of story? I wonder what would happen if preachers narrated, spoke in metaphor, and created images for people? Is it possible for Scripture to become self-evident to people through the stories that are told rather than it being explained pointby-point, proposition-byproposition? Jesus thought it was possible; imagine if we did. ■ Jeremy Postal pastors a storyformed community of twentysomethings. He can be reached for comment at jeremy@clcc.ca.

hen we invite Jesus Christ into our lives, the Holy Spirit comes ALICE and dwells within MARYNIUK us. John 14:16-17, “And I will pray the Above and Father, and He will beyond give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him, but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” John 1:29 says, “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!’” Verse 32, “And John bore witness, saying, ‘I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.’” The Holy Spirit not only came upon Jesus, but He remained. The Holy Spirit is referred to as a dove. The Holy Spirit is gentle and sensitive. We do not want the dove to fly away. Ephesians 4:30 tells us not to grieve the Holy Spirit. Another word for grieve is to sadden, quench, or smother. How do we grieve the Holy Spirit? see GAP, page A11

GAP, from page A10 When we are driving down the road and someone is driving slow and we yell at them, “Hey hurry up! What’s the matter with you?” That just grieved the Holy Spirit. Every time we are harsh with our words or hang on to bitterness and resentment, it grieves the Holy Spirit and the dove flies away. When we grieve the Holy Spirit, it doesn’t mean we lose our salvation, but the peace of His presence just left. The Holy Spirit can be grieved; therefore we must confess our sin. How long of a time period do we wait? Some people wait two years before they acknowledge their sin and confess, others two months, for some two weeks or two days, for others two minutes or maybe two seconds. Our desire is that the Holy Spirit will remain. Let’s try to shorten the gap between when we sin and the time it takes to

come back into fellowship with God. I Corinthians 6:19-20 says, “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” The Holy Spirit dwells in us, but let Him remain upon us by not grieving Him. Let’s keep short accounts between ourselves and God. This doesn’t mean we are perfect or that we will never make a mistake. Let’s enjoy the presence of the Holy Spirit by shortening the gap. The next time you make a mistake be quick to acknowledge it, repent of your sin and get back on the right track again.

A12 ❘ NEWS ❘ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2010 THE TIMES DUNACH, from page A1

– PHOTO PROVIDED BY THE REACH/FOR THE TIMES

Before…

“It was the same old original building my mom had attended.” Everyone at the school knew her name and remembered her siblings and her mom. “It was a place where you were known and comfortable,” she says. She remembers that there was also some threat of closing Dunach back in the early ’70s. “I was panicked. ‘What would I do,’ I thought. I couldn’t go to Mount Lehman . . . they were our rivals.” The highlight of Pat’s school career at Dunach was being selected to be May Day princess All the Grade 6 girls had to hold up a number and walk through every class. Then, everybody voted. “I was thrilled. I got to wear a Dunach sash and ride in my own car in the May Day parade.” She returned to the school years later with her three children. While there was a certain amount of nostalgia involved in the decision, there were other reasons too. “What stands out for me is all the attention my kids got . . . they couldn’t

get that in a big school.” Erin, her eldest daughter, remembers digging in the backfield and discovering glass ink bottles likely dating back to her grandmother’s era. And when Erin was in Grade 3, Mary was invited to talk to her class about the past on Grandmother’s Day. “[Dunach] has quite a wholesome feeling. It’s very family oriented,” says Erin. Her favourite memory was when the school community got together for spaghetti bingo nights. “Every family, every one of them would come . . . it was something I looked forward to.” Erin hopes Evie might have the opportunity to put down roots in the same school her mom, grandmother and great grandmother attended. All three adults would be devastated if the district decided to close Dunach, a school so intertwined with their own family history and that of the surrounding community. “It would be a sad day indeed,” says Erin before Evie, who can wait no longer, pulls her away towards the swings.

“We get to learn stuff and we get to do art,” she says, adding unicorns are what she draws most. Enough said – she makes for the sandbox while her three “mothers” perch on a nearby stump and reminisce about their Dunach days. Mary Schmidt, 79, attended the school in the mid-1940s when it was called Mount Lehman Superior and housed students in grades 7, 8 and 9 before they went off to high school. Coming from tiny Aberdeen Elementary, the four-room school seemed “enormous”. At that time boys and girls still sat on separate sides of the classroom. There was no indoor plumbing and the outhouses were located in the backfield. Water was fetched from a nearby creek. “We got it right out of the spring,” says Mary. “It was ‘pure’ water and we all drank it with a dipper.” There was no library – just a couple of books in one of the teacher’s classrooms. For the most part, education was a stern affair. “Teachers were strict and they gave you the strap if you deserved it,” she says. But her teachers were also capable of great kindness. One of her fondest memories was attending a banquet hosted by Dunach’s then-principal Winifred Lawrence for the graduating class. She also forged lifelong friends, two of whom she still sees now. She left Dunach to go to high school but returned as a member of the PTA when her three daughters attended the small rural school. Pat Braun, her youngest, started at Dunach in 1968. “I was so excited to go,” says Pat.

Pioneer members of the community used Dunach school as a municipal hall in 1913. A student peeks out the window as the group photo is taken. Visit us online for a recap of Dunach’s storied past: www.abbotsfordtimes.com.

$500K to help improve reserves ‘Nice, but more money needed’ ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

irst Nations communities in and around Abbotsford and Mission received close to half a million dollars in federal funding to improve living conditions on reserves. The Canadian government announced Tuesday morning it’s investing more than $2.8 million for 27 First Nations communities within the Lower Mainland and Fraser Canyon as part of the second year of funding through Canada’s Economic Action Plan. Randy Kamp, MP for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission, made the announcement at the Leq’a:mel First Nations, about 22 kilometres east of Mission, on behalf of Diane Finley, Minister for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The government’s action plan demonstrates its commitment to bettering housing for First Nations in B.C., said Kamp. “Today’s investment will provide quality, affordable housing while creating jobs and stimulating the local economy.” The funds will help native communities build new housing, repair and remediate existing non-profit housing, and complement housing programs offered

by CMHC. L e q’ a : m e l C h i e f A l i c e Thompson said the funding would “represent major life changes for families on the reserve.” “The retrofit of these homes is a step toward addressing our long-standing housing needs while helping us build our community’s equity,” she said. The LFN will get $148,080 to fix 14 housing units. The Scowlitz First Nations, with three reserves east of Lake Errock, will get a total of $121,650 for eight housing units. Abbotsford Matsqui and Sumas First Nations will each receive close to $112,000 to improve 13 and seven units of social housing respectively. Chief Dalton Silver said that the Sumas reserve has more than 30 housing units and the funds will be useful. “It will help big time . . . the unemployment rate is larger in First Nations communities than others, and we have social housing units and people can’t afford the upkeep.” Although the Sumas Nation will have to hire contractors to do the upgrades on its housing, it will work with contractors willing to hire band members. He said the band has a waiting list for housing and could always use more funding. “[The newest funding] is a start, but of course we’d like to see more,” said Silver.

Fred Armstrong’s final edition

“It’s the best job on the planet” RAFE ARNOTT RArnott@abbotsfordtimes.com

fter 25 years in the business of newspapers, AbbotsfordMission Times publisher Fred Armstrong is moving on, and leaving behind a legacy he hopes reflects his commitment to community journalism. Having taken a communications position with the District of Maple Ridge, Armstrong will still be helping to get the word out, just in a different kind of way. Armstrong said the business of newspapers has changed dramatically in the last quarter century,

with technology creating opportunities and challenges for print journalism. The advent of computers and the digital workflow that came with it saw the end of an era, and the beginning of another, he said. “That technology was a massive leveling of the field between major dailies and the smaller, nimble community-based newspapers,” Armstrong said. “[Community papers are small, they’re local . . . we were able to utilize a lot of the technology in the papers that was never seen before. “It was quite exciting to be part of that.”

Armstrong said the one thing that “It’s heartening. Somebody’s hasn’t changed over the years is the house burns down and the comenormous influence of community munity comes together,” he said. newspapers on people’s lives. “We’re lucky because we get to In the field of see the impact of what journalism, comwe do.” munity papers are “We’re lucky Armstrong said one not considered very because we get to of the toughest things sexy, he said.

Custom design and so much more Lanka is the oldest established jeweller in the Fraser Valley

Since its inception in 1979, Lanka Jewels in Mission has built a solid reputation for providing quality jewellery and service and for being an active part of the community.

Owner Ken Selvaraja, a native of Sri Lanka, carries on his family’s tradition in the gem business.

The store, the oldest established jeweller in the FraserValley,is considered a leader in custom-designed work due to Selvaraja’s dedication to excellence in providing client service and top quality design. Selvaraja buys sapphires, rubies and other gems directly from mines worldwide, ensuring quality of product. Lanka specializes in custom design, including custom cuts of gems, and recycling dated gold pieces into new items of jewellery. On staff is Steve Sublett, a master goldsmith who will help you with all your jewelry needs, from repairs to customizing that one of a kind piece. “Gold is recyclable and we encourage our customers to consider their old pieces. We make new designs according to our customers’ needs and desire,” said Selvaraja. While there is an emphasis on quality goods, Selvaraja says there is something for all budgets. Lanka Jewels also

carries a broad selection of unique and manufactured pieces. At Lanka Jewels there is also an emphasis on working with the community

...there is something for all budgets. Shoppers can ﬁnd items ranging from $75 to $20,000 in the warm and welcoming store. and, over the years, Selvaraja has been involved in numerous charitable projects. Mission area youth and seniors programs have beneﬁtted from his tireless efforts. The community recognised him by awarding “Citizen of the Year” in 2006. He recently spearheaded a major fundraising drive for tsunami relief in his native Sri Lanka. Funds raised were contributed to the building of a new hospital there. Over the years, the business’ regular customer base has expanded from 100 Mile House to White Rock. Their

growth, however, has not been without a few setbacks. Two robberies, the ﬁrst in 2008 and the second just this past May, took its toll on Selvaraja’s family and staff. Thanks to the wonderful support of the community and to their dedicated employees, the business has made an amazing recovery and Selvaraja is looking forward to continued growth. He is buoyed by the exceptional kindness he’s received from his customers, some who have been coming to Lanka Jewels for 30 years. At 68, he and his wife Sandra were eyeing retirement and were well on their way to handing the business over to their daughter Naomi and son Nathan. However their plans were bumped off course by the most recent robbery. Selvaraja is proud of the fact that his family are taking an active part in running the business and looks forward to their contributions, ensuring the store’s future success.

have a confession to make. I’ve been going through withdrawal for a few months. I admit it. I miss True Blood. Sure, the last episode of season three of the campy vampire show kind of sucked, but I am getting more than anxious waiting for what’s next for Sookie, Bill and the rest of them. You could say I’m hooked. So it was quite a relief to see all that blood letting in the recent U.S. midterm elections. If that were an ultimate fighting match they would have stopped it for excessive bleeding. What a slaughter. While it was gratifying to see such a wholesale repudiation of Obama’s socialist agenda, what made it all the more satisfying was the extent to which the desperate Democrats’ slander didn’t stick. Lacking any new ideas or the ability to engage in intelligent debate or informed dialogue, they simply

referred to everyone and anyone who didn’t support Obama as a Nazi. Media commentators, still obediently and overwhelmingly in the tank for Obama, routinely portrayed Tea Partiers as Nazi thugs and brownshirts. The only thing rarer than a smiling Democrat in recent weeks was a Republican campaign poster that hadn’t been defaced with a Hitler mustache. This seems to be the last refuge for liberals these days – attempt to dismiss those who disagree with you as Hitler wannabes. This is not simply an American phenomenon where politics are typically much more vicious than they are here. This act of inexcusable desperation is a common occurrence on the Canadian scene as well. And

JOHN MARTIN

Crime matters shameful as it is, it appears there’s no end in sight. Just two weeks ago, NDP MLA Leonard Krog, who I long thought was a reasonable and decent public figure, compared Liberal Social Development Minister Kevin Krueger to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels. Krog actually made the public statement that Krueger was filling the same role for Premier Gordon Campbell as Goebbels did for Hitler.

To his credit, Krog did eventually apologize. But what is someone who could stoop to such vulgarity doing in the legislature? Ron McKinnon, past federal Liberal candidate and the president of the Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam riding association, compared the Conservative government’s plans to target human smuggling to collaboration with the Nazis a couple months ago. “This brave new policy is sordidly familiar, akin to collaborating with the Nazis to stop the flight of Jews,” McKinnon wrote. These are hardly isolated incidents. A while back Green Party leader Elizabeth May compared the federal government’s approach to climate change to Britain’s appeasement of the Nazis.

Now that much of the science behind climate change has been successfully challenged and in some cases, exposed as out and out fraud, die hard supporters increasingly equate those who don’t bow down for Al Gore and David Suzuki to Holocaust deniers. My, my, aren’t we tolerant and progressive. Former Liberal immigration minister, Elinor Caplan, routinely referred to the opposition and their supporters as Holocaust deniers as well and Jean Chretien would simply chuckle in his seat. The people who engage in this type of vitriolic slander not only show their intellectual and moral bankruptcy, but they minimize and trivialize one of the most significant horrors in history. They are truly pathetic.

Bonnie vaguely remembers being slung into a wheelchair and then getting oxygen and an injection of epinephrine to counter anaphylactic shock.

Thermage®

Question: I have heard there is a non-surgical neck and facelift called Thermage® – is it safe and does it work? Tracy, Surrey Answer: Thermage® is a non-invasive treatment for tightening loose and sagging skin. The most common areas treated are forehead, around the eyes, the mid and lower face and the neck. After one treatment results appear gradually over a 6 month period. Typically there is no downtime required. We are finding that Thermage® treatments used in conjunction with Botox, Fillers and Fraxel® create dramatic improvements to achieve a more youthful appearance. At our office we refer to the combination of Fraxel® and Thermage® as“the facelift bypass procedure”. Dr. Marianna Snyman

THE TIMES FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2010 ❘

You’ll fall for these ideas a time to compost in the spring when moist, green waste is abundant but brown carbon is hard to ANNE find. Fall or spring, leaves MARRISON can be safely shredded by Green being dumped in a garbage thumb pail and attacked with a weed-whacker. It only takes a few minutes for a tubful of leaves to be reduced to a few inches of shredded leaf bits. This eye-popping reduction in volume is the reason why people who want leaf mold need to gather many, many bags of leaves. Neighbours are often very cooperative –especially in jurisdictions where city governments levy a fee for collecting compostable materials. For leaf-mold, gardeners really need to shred the leaves well. It’s the only way to see the approximate quantity you’ll end up with – and usually the only way to ensure the leaves will definitely be decomposed in a year. Some leaves need shredding simply because they’re very slow to break down. This includes waxy leaves like holly and laurel and large leaves like cottonwood, paulownia and big leaf maple. These need to be shredded even for compost unless they’re destined for a compost pile which won’t be used for two or three years. Some gardeners claim toxins in black walnut leaves vanish after six weeks of composting. So far I’ve not tested this out. But leaves of poisonous perennials like lupins, foxgloves and daffodils are definitely safe once they’re broken down in the compost.

very fall, sees gardeners with garbage bags roaming neighbourhoods and collecting leaves under boulevard trees or picking them up ready-bagged from non-gardening neighbours. If they were scarce, leaves would cost big bucks because they’re rich in carbons, minerals and fibre – brought up to the surface by the long, deep roots of trees. Every autumn, when the leaves fall they nourish the top layers of soil. Leaves can be used in general compost heaps, composted separately for leaf mold or spread on garden beds as a mulch. Actually, where the leaf layer isn’t hugely thick, fallen leaves can be left on perennial beds where they protect plants against winter cold, compaction of the soil and germination of cool-season weeds. But leaves do need to be raked up from lawns since they tend to smother grass. Grass benefits from light and air during winter since it doesn’t hide underground as many perennials do. No matter where you put them, leaves break down much faster if you rake them, then shred them by running over the pile with a lawnmower. If you plan to do this repeatedly for a fine shred, you may have to rake them between runs or use the lawnmower bag and keep re-building the pile. Time-short gardeners who want to add leaves to a compost bin can mow the un-raked lawn, collect grass clippings and leaves together and add them as-is to the compost. It’s not perfect – but the nitrogen in the grass and carbon in the leaves roughly balances – and the job gets done fast. Some people keep bags of raked leaves through the winter, then add one bag at

Frequent ARTHRITIS Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products,physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught #1 because of their bones/cartilage. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100 testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: ! Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON !My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA!I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON!celled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping.

GETS TO THE POINT – DIANNA LEWIS, CREATIVE MEMORY STUDIO/FOR THE TIMES

Adriel Brandt is the sword-wielding boy who won’t grow up in Gallery 7’s production of Peter Pan, which opens tonight at MEI Theatre. JEAN KONDA-WITTE JKonda-Witte@abbotsfordtimes.com

allery 7 opens its 20th season of live theatre in the Fraser Valley just as Peter Pan takes flight into Abbotsford tonight. “Second star to the right and straight on till morning!” Peter exclaims to Wendy in this innovative new production of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, adapted by Canadian playwright, Jeff Pitcher. The magical tale of childhood adventure plays this weekend at MEI Secondary Theatre, and runs weekends until Nov. 27. “All the stops are pulled to make this an incredible and fun production,” explains the theatre’s artistic director, Ken Hildebrandt. “With this show, both the young and the young at heart will have the opportunity to let their imaginations take charge and experience an adventure that will leave them delighted, uplifted and inspired.” Peter and his fairy counterpart, Tinkerbell, flutter into the Darling nursery and whisk Wendy, John and Michael away on an unforgettable journey to Neverland, a world inhabited by lost boys, pirates

and fantastical creatures. Sword fights and narrow escapes ensue as the children band together to thwart the evil plans of Captain Hook. This is an exciting tale sure to capture the hearts and imaginations of all ages. “Some deliberate choices have been made to simplify the more fantastical elements so that the play fits the theatre’s performance space, but the production promises to be no less imaginative and no less theatrical,” explains Hildebrandt. “The set design represents more of a tree-house and is beautiful in its simplicity and functionality. Audiences’ imaginations will be engaged more directly to help complete the entire experience. This is what makes theatre so much fun.” Playing the title role is Adriel Brandt as Peter, who last appeared in Gallery 7’s production of Pride & Prejudice. Meghan Mackenzie, a recent graduate of the UFV Theatre program, who has performed in over 20 theatre productions, including UFV’s recent production of Hamlet, plays Wendy Darling. Veteran actor Andrew Abrahams does double duty as Mr. Darling and the infamous Captain Hook.

“I believe that this play has the ability to show us how to be greater than we are,” said the show’s director, Eldon Letkeman. “Peter Pan allows us to relive our childhood in such a way that shows us how to not just be a child again, but how to be a true human being in the adult sense of the word. It also has the ability to show what is really important in our lives.” ◗ Peter Pan plays Nov. 12 – 13, 18 – 20, 25 – 27 at 7:30 p.m. with matinees on Nov. 13 and 20 at 2 p.m. at the MEI Auditorium, 4081 Clearbrook Rd., Abbotsford. Tickets for evening performances are $16 adults, $14 seniors (65+)/students; $13 groups (10 or more) and $9 for children 12 and under. Tickets for matinee performances are $12 general and $9 for children 12 and under. They are available at House of James, 2743 Emerson St., Abbotsford or call 604-852-3701 or toll free at 1-800-665-8828.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2010 THE TIMES

Milestone for 1066 The local British pub band 1066 turns 25 this fall and they want you to come and celebrate with them. On Saturday, Nov. 20 they will be cranking up their ‘Celtic Music – with an attitude’ at the Eagles Hall in Abbotsford, the place where it all started back in November 1985. That night the audience saw four musicians who had never played together, entertain for a rousing two hours, later becoming a Friday night staple with their “not too seriously Celtic” musical style. Since then the band has added two more members and has performed on TV, stage, and at fairs, conventions and pubs in the U.S. and Canada. Their slightly irreverent, light-hearted style covers a broad range of the musical spectrum.

– JEAN KONDA-WITTE/TIMES

The British pub band 1066 celebrates its 25th anniversary Nov. 20 with a special Celtic music night at the Eagles Hall. In November 2002, the band lost their great friend and founding member – Paul Abbott, but they continued to perform and since then have released several CDs. Tickets for the evening of

MELDER Ruth Beatrice (Bartholomeusz) We sadly announce our mom’s death on Saturday Nov 6th just weeks shy of her 90th birthday. Mom was born Nov 28th 1920, in Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka), and immigrated to Canada in 1956. Mom was predeceased by Lloyd, her husband of 66 years on August 25th of this year. They were still so in love that she felt incomplete without him. Ruth leaves behind her daughters Coral (Henry) Kaliciak, and Maple (Mike) Melder Crozier, and Judy Pearse; grandchildren Joshua (Marnie), Jared, Braeden, Amanda, Jillian and Calvin; and greatgrandchildren Malakhi and Sophia. Mom was a woman who lived to care for others. She left school early to help raise her siblings, and later was a Foster Parent to many children in need. Mom was very involved in her church for many years of her life, and she has many friends who feel she was a second mother for them. Her faith has been her anchor for most of her life. That heritage of care and faith is her legacy to all who knew her. The service will be held on Friday, November 12th at 130 at Abbotsford Pentecostal Assembly, Lucas Centre.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Your last week of mystery, Aries – and of chances to benefit from others’ largesse or deep pockets. Here are some keywords for action within this arena: Invest, capitulate, confess, fix health, rest Sunday to Tuesday dawn. Ignore an acquaintance’s advice! Pay, buy, sell, “stamp” agreements, embrace or make peace with someone, inventory your possessions Friday/ Saturday. Governments, courts, institutions, lawyers, travel matters, publishers, head office, partners, antagonists, mate, public, opportunities, agreements – all these, indecisive or inactive in recent months, finally march forward. Taurus April 20-May 20: Relationships remain important.Study opportunities,agreements,relocation prospects, competition and whether you should join ‘em or fight ‘em. But don’t study too long – act soon – or immediately (Monday daytime, Wednesday eve, dawn Thursday right through Saturday). Recent delays in work, employment, machinery and health zones end Thursday. Longer delays (since July) also end, in social, planning, sexual, investment, financial and lifestyle zones. Get going – reach out! Happiness, flirtation, social delights, even love arrive Sunday/ Monday. Rest midweek. You shine Friday/Saturday! Gemini May 21-June 20: Your last week of work and drudgery, Gemini. Soon, new horizons will arrive! Meanwhile, tackle chores. Buy or repair machinery, vehicles. Adjust diet, nutrition, health regimens. Your career is highlighted Sunday to Tuesday dawn. Be ambitious – you could net a promotion; VIPs, bosses or parents will approve of or aid your projects, proposals. Optimism, friendship, entertainment enter Tuesday p.m. through Thursday: avoid intellectual or ethical disputes at work. Rest, retreat Friday/Saturday. Four months of delays end in negotiations, partnerships, relocation, career and “judgment.”

Cancer June 21-July 22: You start this romantic week with mellow wisdom, Cancer. After this, romance dies down briefly, then will return again by month’s end, into January – but in that next phase it will be more volatile, demand more critical choices. So enjoy this pleasure-filled, non-pressure week! (You might be dealing with creative projects, vacation, charming kids, beauty, hobbies, sports, rather than romance.) A legal, media, educational or travel solution arrives Monday, especially if you chase it. Buy tickets. Be ambitious Wednesday/Thursday. Happiness, wish fulfilment arrive Friday/Saturday! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Four-month delays in big financial areas (investments, debts, mortgages, other people’s money, business funding) and in sex, intimate commitments, lifestyle changes, research and deep health (e.g., surgery) end now. Shorter and less important delays in mail, communications, telephone installation, career projects, travel and paperwork (especially re: property) end now. Push forward to end things and to plant a new life. Seek funding, suggest settlements, let go of one lifestyle and grasp another, especially Monday. Legal, travel, love and intellectual affairs succeed Wednesday/Thursday. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: An easy, enjoyable week, Virgo. The general accent lies on communications, paperwork, travel, errands and details. Long delays end in relationships and opportunities – the best, luckiest, appear Monday to pre-dawn Tuesday, and Thursday. (If they don’t appear, create and chase them!) One opportunity might entail abandoning a job. Life’s depths flow in Tuesday p.m. through Thursday: a relationship becomes intimate, you follow opportunity with commitment, money or a promise. Revealing facts surface. (Especially if you turn over a rock or two.) Wisdom, gentle love arrive Friday/Saturday.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Nov. 14 - Nov. 20

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Continue to chase money, earn it, use it, spend it. Machinery, tools, vehicles are a great buy Monday (AFTER dawn). In Seymour Narrows, B.C., there used to be a huge underwater hazard called “Ripple Rock” that caused wrecks for 250 years, and prevented efficient ferry traffic. Finally, in 1958, the government blew it up. Your relationships might hold such a deep, hidden rock. Pluto’s down there now (2008 to 2024) trying to eradicate it. It’s “there” Tuesday night – but not Wednesday/Thursday, when love and partnership opportunities soar! Work, financial, sexual and intimate delays end. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness remain high – and this lucky week speeds you toward your goals! Start major projects, seek attention, ask favours, display your talents. Delays that have frustrated you for months in creative, speculative, romantic zones – and shorter delays in partnership, relocation and/or governmentrelated zones – all end now. You ride a winning streak Sunday to Tuesday – romance, speculation, creativity, all reward. Take a risk! Tackle work mid-week. You’ll succeed. Relationships confront you Friday/Saturday – smooth co-operation, money agreements prevail. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: This is your last week of seclusion, Sage. Rest deeply, as next week you’ll burst into new projects, situations and hopes. The more you rest now, the more energy you’ll have then – and the more chores and obligations you clear away now, the lighter and more free you’ll be – when it counts. This is a great week, considering. Everything revolves around your domestic situation Sunday to Tuesday: Monday holds property, security luck. Romantic notions tease and please mid-week. You might make a “backyard” friend. Work, health Friday/Saturday. Personal, domestic and social delays end.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The accent remains on wish fulﬁlment, popularity, social delights, light romance and entertainment. You feel optimistic about your future; this is a great week to make plans. Do errands, paperwork, communicate and travel Sunday to Monday. Monday to Thursday favours communications about money – and money information. Read, ask questions, follow your curiosity. Past frustrating delays end in all these areas (especially in obtaining information, especially from government and large corporations). Home, midweek. Romance, pleasure, creative surges Friday/Saturday – take a chance! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: You’re still in a general ambition cycle, for another eight days. Act early – Sunday to Tuesday favour chasing money, seeking a pay raise, cultivating new clients, etc. Monday’s best. Communications, errands, details, travel, casual acquaintances stymie you Tuesday, but they bring interest, happy social interludes (Wednesday) and some intriguing money ideas (Thursday). This week ends a four-month delay in earnings, purchasing power, and dealing with possessions. Beware a bit of deception from higher-ups midweek. Head home Friday/Saturday for a rejuvenating rest – excitement’s coming! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Love, understanding, higher learning, far travel, publishing, religion, cultural involvements – these are still your main theme. Your energy and magnetism surge upward Sunday to Tuesday – and your luck soars Monday. Take advantage, get something done, propose, impress someone! Chase money Tuesday eve to Thursday – your idea factory might be a little wobbly, but your practical instincts are right, especially Wednesday. This week ends four months of delay in your ambitions. A lot of that delay emerged from your own indecision: that ends too. Light friends, heavy info, Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

– CHRIS PIETSCH/THE REGISTER-GUARD/FOR THE TIMES

Boseko Lokombo, a graduate of W.J. Mouat, is making a name for himself as a linebacker for the University of Oregon Ducks in the PAC-10.

A student of the gridiron

Boseko Lokombo earned his playing time with the University of Oregon Ducks CAM TUCKER camtuckertimes@gmail.com

ight around this time last year, Boseko Lokombo was being taught how to endure – an intrinsic lesson almost all freshman college football players go through. For the first time in his football career, Abbotsford’s Lokombo, now 20, was not a starter. He, in fact, saw nothing of the field on game day in his first year with the University of Oregon Ducks except from a television screen or the seats of Autzen Stadium. His tasks included learning the defensive schemes of the opposition each week, then utilizing those plays in practice to help his teammates on the first string offence map out a game plan. “I dedicated myself to coming in to watch film and studying what we do,” Lokombo told the Times. “I just became a student of the game, especially all the little things, the technical things that are important.” The seeds of wisdom had been planted, but it wasn’t the start to the college career Lokombo had envisioned for himself, especially after collecting 22 touchdowns and helping the W.J. Mouat Hawks reach the B.C. High School football championships in Grade 12. “At first I was just having a tough time because I thought I was good enough to play right away,” he said. “The coaches talked to me and said it’s going to be worth it at the end and now I don’t even care if I’m on the field a lot or not as far as I’m contributing and doing everything I can for

the team. That’s all that really matters.” In essence, Lokombo’s first two years at the U of Oregon have been a reflection of the life he has led dating back to his days in Africa. He was required to endure, not to get onto a football field, but simply to survive. He moved with his family from the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo to Canada, a new land and a new culture, in 1996. With his dad, Leon, already living in Canada, Boseko and the remaining family members touched down in the middle of a Montreal winter – it was snowing that day. Once in Abbotsford, his new venture, football, began with anything but prosperity – at one time he considered quitting.

“My parents dedicated their lives to trying to make our lives better. They always pushed me to come out here and play hard and to succeed, and I take that serious and it helps in football.” – Boseko Lokombo

But giving up just isn’t in his gene pool. “It’s taught me never to give up in all facets of life. It’s taught me to never take anything too seriously and to just work hard,” Lokombo said of his experiences. “My parents dedicated their lives to trying to make our lives better. They always pushed me to come out here and play hard and to succeed, and I take that serious and it helps in football.” The lessons pertaining to survival and endurance have certainly had an effect on the football field. Lokombo’s contributions last season went undetected by tailgate partiers or suited

TV analysts. A year later, how things have changed. Lokombo is now a fixture as a linebacker for the Ducks, the top team in the U.S. college ranks today. “I will do anything to try and make a play, and the coaches respect me for my ability to make plays, finish plays and I try my best to work hard everyday when we come out here.” And for his efforts, for his perseverance under the most ruthless of circumstances, Lokombo received his biggest personal reward on Sept. 25 against the Arizona State University Sun Devils. The six-foot-three behemoth scored his first college football touchdown – a 32-yard scamper off a fumble recovery. The play itself was a bit odd. The ASU quarterback tossed a lateral to his running back, who fumbled the ball and didn’t go back to recover it, thinking the referee had ruled it an incomplete pass. Lokombo, not hearing the whistle, picked up the pigskin and rumbled into the Sun Devils’ end zone for the major. “I saw the ball and I didn’t know if it was going to be a lateral or not,” he chuckled. “The coaches always tell us to finish plays, pick it up and let the referee decide. “It felt really great, it was amazing.”

University of Oregon Ducks

Lokombo and the Ducks are on fire this season, topping the ranks of U.S. college football with a seemingly unbeatable team. The Ducks are coming off a 53-16 victory over their rivals, the University of Washington Huskies on Nov. 6. It was the third game in a row, and fourth in the last five that the Ducks put up more than 50 points in a game. Lokombo had one tackle in the winning effort. In nine games this season, the PAC-10 Ducks jump into top spot in the BSC rankings. “We try to come out every week, practise hard and play Oregon Duck football,” said Lokombo. The No. 1 seeded Ducks will flock to Berkeley, Calif. for a meeting with the University of California Golden Bears on Saturday at 4:30 p.m.

Gulik nets first NHL goal

Hawks grounded by high-flying Ravens

UFV athletes honoured

CAM TUCKER Camtuckertimes@gmail.com

The W.J. Mouat Hawks reign atop the B.C. High School Football TripleA rankings came to an abrupt end Friday thanks to the Terry Fox Ravens of Port Coquitlam. In what was labelled the clash of the titans, the Hawks fell to the Ravens by a score of 36-6. The Hawks’ usually potent offence was held to a minimum by the Ravens defence, which came into the game having allowed just 14 points in four games. Mouat scored just once, as Cam Bedore connected with Tanner Hamade for a touchdown pass in the waning minutes of the first half to pull the stunned Hawks to within 10 points of Fox. But a comeback never came. “You just have to give credit to

them,” said head coach Denis Kelly. “They just outplayed us, everything from the coaching right down to the execution and the physicalness of their play.” An attempt to get back into the game fell into the wrong hands in the second half. A pair of interceptions turned any momentum the Hawks had into energy for the Ravens. The Hawks will now go into the playoffs as the No. 2 ranked team in B.C., and second in the Eastern Conference as a result of the loss. Playoffs will begin this weekend from Thunderbird Stadium at UBC, however a schedule has yet to be released.

Zeon Gray, men’s basketball, is the UFV male Athlete of the Week, leading the Cascades to their first victory of the Canada West regular season, Sunday, with a 28-point performance in their 100-90 victory over the defending CIS national champions. On Saturday, Gray added 13-points in their 100-89 loss to the Huskies. Lyndsay Munro, women’s soccer, led the Cascades to their first ever Canada West CIS women’s soccer title. Munro shut down the powerhouse offenses of TWU and UBC in the playoffs. Munro was the Player of the Match in both Canada West post-season games.

Heat shoot out Aeros It had the makings of looking like the home stand from hell, but two comeback shootout wins over the Houston Aeros earlier this week changed that. The Abbotsford Heat spotted the Aeros 2-0 leads both Monday and Tuesday night at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, but managed to come back in the third period both nights on route to consecutive 3-2 shootout wins. “We just seemed to stick with it,” said forward Bryan Cameron, who provided the winning goal in the skills competition Tuesday. “It’s a great feeling, especially coming back in a shoot-

out two games in a row.” The sweep of the Aeros also changed what looked to be a dreadful eight-game home stand into a successful one. The Heat finished the home stint with a 5-3-00 record after having won just three times in the first six games before departing from Abbotsford Wednesday for a five-game, 10-day road trip beginning Friday against the Providence Bruins. “We’ve talked for a long time about trying to get a home ice identity established here . . . and in order to do that, you have to win at home,” said head coach Jim Playfair. – CAM TUCKER/TIMES
