Bert Wiebe doesn’t really like to talk about the hill that he and thousands of others fought
over.He doesn’t really like to talk about
the war much at all.It’s been 63 years since Wiebe and
other Canadians with the Royal 22nd Regiment, also known as the Van Doos, hunkered down on what would become known as Hill 355, the summit of which looked out over the front lines of the Korean War.
The conflict had drawn soldiers from across the globe in the first major Cold War struggle.
First in November of 1951, and then again 11 months later, Wiebe and the Canadians came under heavy and sustained barrage from Chinese forces, and engaged in combat that saw desperate fighting in the snowy, muddy cold.
“It was a bloody, bloody mess,” Wiebe says. “We fought and we got pushed back; we fought and we got up again. We finally took it.”

Community rallies to replace scooterLocal company donates wheels for veteran Bert Wiebe
The community has rallied in support of Korean War veter-an Bert Wiebe, whose mobility scooter was stolen from him just days before Remembrance Day.
Four days after a con man made off with his scooter, Wiebe, 83, received a set of new wheels Tuesday that were do-nated by a local company.
Wiebe served for more than a decade in the Canadian Forces, and the morning of the theft had spoken to The News about his life in the military, includ-ing the battle for Hill 355 in Korea.
Prior to the interview, Bert
Wiebe met a man who called himself ‘Kevin,’ who said he could fix a broken headlight on his scooter. When he returned to the Legion, Kevin was wait-ing for the decorated veteran.
Wiebe retrieved the key for the man, and left to have a cigarette while the man did the work he had promised. When Wiebe returned, the scooter and the man named Kevin were gone.
“I was very, very upset,” said Wiebe, who can only walk a block with the help of a walker.
Margaret Vines, the Royal Canadian Legion’s ways and means officer, said the thief be-trayed the trust of a man who
desperately needs his scooter.“He’s a vet, he’s disabled and
he needs to have something to get around and have some-thing of a social life,” Vines said. “I think it’s a pretty low thing to do to anybody.”
Abbotsford Police Const. Paul Walker comment-ed, “You have a veteran who’s given a lot to our country and uses a scoot-
er for mobility purposes, and to have someone taking advantage of that is pretty de-plorable.”
But hours after the theft was made public, the APD was flooded with calls by people from around the province who wanted to help.
And the next afternoon, Wiebe received a new mobility scooter.
“The public has been fantas-tic,” said John Sorensen, the Legion’s Sergeant-At-Arms.
Walker said police have re-ceived several tips about mobil-ity scooters that might match the description of Wiebe’s.
The con man is described as 5’8”, of medium build with short brown hair. He may be in his 40s or late 30s.
Anyone with informa-tion is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police at 604-859-5225, text police at 222973 or call Crime Stoppers at or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

First World WarIn 1914, the call went out from the Minister of Militia and Defence for Canadians to step forward to serve their country. While Canadian soldiers’ bravery and sacrifice catapulted the country to a new standing worldwide, the nation suffered great losses. Around 625,000 served, and approximately 60,000 were killed in action or died in active service, with another 173,000 reported wounded.
Second World WarThe Second World War started Sept. 1, 1939 after the Germans invaded Poland. Britain and France declared war two days later, while Canada did so Sept. 10. Throughout the conflict, 1.1 million Canadians served in all three branches of service (army, navy, air force) with more than 45,000 losing their lives, and 54,000 returning home injured.
The Korean War (1950-1953) was the first time the newly minted United Nations interceded in a conflict. The war pitted the communist North Korean government against the democratic South. Almost 30,000 Canadian soldiers were sent to the Korean War, and 7,000 stayed behind to supervise the ceasefire until 1955. Canadian forces sustained 1,558 casualties, including 516 deaths.
PeacekeepingCanadians have regularly taken part in United Nations’ peacekeeping missions since 1956. Canada suffered the second-highest number of casualties over the years, with 122, to the end of 2006.
AfghanistanCanada took part in the Afghanistan War, which commenced in late 2001 following the Sept. 11 attacks. Canada’s role increased in 2005, when troops were redeployed to Kandahar. The number of personnel in Afghanistan swelled to 2,300 by 2006. More than 40,000 Canadians served in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2014, when the last soldiers left the country.A total of 158 Canadian Armed Forces died in Afghanistan, including Mater Cpl. Colin Bason from Abbotsford.
Canadian war efforts‘The memories are stuck in your mind’
Wiebe thinks about the war a lot. He talks about it less often, particularly with reporters.
But although he joined the army with the unvarnished aim of fighting in war, that decision continues to haunt him.
At the same time, he says he has no regrets.
Born in 1932 in Enderby, B.C.,Wiebe was sent to a residential school in the area.
Like many others, he emerged angry – a feeling that led him to enlist in the army in 1949.
“I thought to join the army and get even.”
His religious parents were unhappy when they learned Wiebe had enlist-ed, but he had run away from home and by the time they found out, there was no turning back.
So Wiebe went to training camp in Regina, and when the army came looking for volunteers to serve in Korea, he stepped forward.
“I just wanted to serve in a war,” he says.
And when he got to Korea: “Then I got fighting.”
Wiebe and the Van Doos were deployed to Hill 355, which saw some of the fiercest fighting in the war. In two separate engagements, 34 Canadians would be killed, and another 79 wounded and 18 taken prisoner on that hill. They were among 516 Canadians who died in the conflict, 312 of whom died in combat. A total of 26,000 served in the war, which concluded in 1953.
“We knew what we were facing and we knew what we had to do,” Wiebe says.
He said he got “a little scared,” and was thinking, “Get this thing over with and go back home.”
But he doesn’t wish he had stayed home.
“That was my choice.”When he returned to Canada in
1953, some of his experiences came with him.
“The memories are stuck in your mind,” he says. Six decades later, he continues to take medication for post-traumatic stress disorder.
Wiebe continued serving in the army beyond the war. Hewould later be deployed as part of Canadian peacekeeping missions in Egypt and Cyprus. Deployment in Cyprus, he said, was “creepy,” with snipers posing an ever-present danger, along with the knowledge that a shift in global politics could kick off a major conflict.
“You didn’t know what they were going to do.”
After 11 years or so, Wiebe left the military. He tried jobs on the oil fields and as a heavy equipment operator, then went back to school and became a social worker. Along the way, he got married and had children.
And he became a fixture at the Royal Canadian Legion, and in parades on Nov. 11.
On Remembrance Day, he says, “I remember my friends who got killed … It’s a sad day.”
Still, he’s glad that people remem-ber the sacrifice of Canada’s veterans.
“It’s nice that we have that.”

War memories passed down among generations
Local resident recalls family stories from World War II
War has not touched Canadian soil for more than 100 years but it continues to leave its mark on millions of Canadians.
While a decreasing percentage of citizens have experienced combat, and seen colleagues and friends killed and wounded, many have supported war efforts, both in the Second World War and in more recent operations in Cyprus, Iraq, Kosovo, Bosnia, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
And in this nation of immigrants, even many of those who have not been directly connected to the military effort often bear family histories intertwined with the conflicts that domi-nated the first half of the 20th century.
Marinus Van Prattenburg has such a story.For Van Prattenburg, the wars were never far from conver-
sation at his family home in a tiny village in the middle of the Netherlands. When Van Prattenburg was born in February of 1944, a company of German soldiers had already been making their home in his parents’ home and furniture shop for a couple of years. The Van Prattenburgs, whose shop was located on the edge of the town square – which provided room for the Germans to repair their equipment and cover from aerial bombardment – were not particularly happy with this development. Not only were the Van Prattenburgs sympathiz-ers and facilitators with the Dutch underground, but when the Germans commandeered their home and decided to set up shop, the soldiers and officers downstairs unwittingly began shar-ing a building with a pair of Jews hiding in the building’s attic.
The Van Prattenburgs had months earlier opened their home to a pair of goldsmiths seeking protection. The arrival of 20 Germans in their own home then, was worrying for all in-volved.
The perilous situation was aggravated by next-door neigh-bours who collaborated with the Germans.
For some time – Marinus can’t quite say how long or the dates involved – the awkward living arrangement continued.
“My dad told them, no one would expect that you are here,” Marinus said. But the Jewish houseguests became more and more nervous, and were also growing restless, having been confined to the same rooms for months on end. They were eventually spirited out of the home, the German troops none the wiser. The Van Prattenburgs never heard from the two men again, and Marinus doesn’t know whether they were able to escape the horror being levelled on the Jews by the Nazis.
“It was better not to know.”A few months after Marinus was born, the allies invaded
Normandy and, as the occupying Germans began to lose ground, the living conditions for residents in the Netherlands deteriorated.
“In the end, there was no food,” he said. “There was abso-
lutely nothing.”One day, all the soldiers took off on a second’s notice. With
the Germans gone – the Van Prattenburgs would later learn the Battle of the Bulge had begun – Marinus’s father got his own little piece of revenge: a telephone connected to the downstairs wall.
Later, when another set of Germans arrived at the village, they were told that the group that had just departed had left with their phone. All that remained was a wire sticking out of the plaster.
“Stealing from the Germans was perfectly all right,” Marinus said. “They didn’t call it stealing; they called it organizing.”
Someone would ask: “How did you get that?” and the inevi-table response would be, “Oh, I organized it.”
Memories were long in that part of the world. Growing up, Marinus would hear much about another German who had taken up residence in the town. In 1918, as the First World War
came to a close, a train rolled into town carrying the exiled Kaiser of Germany. He would live for two years in a castle op-posite the home where Marinus would later be born. It was in that castle that the Kaiser would sign the act abdicating his throne.
Years later, Marinus would hear tales of the local barber making the long walk up to the castle to meticulously trim the beard of the former monarch.
Eventually, Marinus decided to move to Germany in the late 1960s, a decision that garnered him some flak from his family.
“Some of my folks were not too happy about that.”There, he would hear from many who still felt a sense of
responsibility about Europe’s deadliest cataclysm. Later, he would move to Canada, where he married and sold electron-ics. He would later move to Abbotsford, and build built a name for himself as a meticulous rebuilder of fine pianos.
Still, like many, those stories of the wars remain embedded in his family lore. Years later, he sits in his living room, where a painting of that castle hangs prominently. It reminds him both of the drama of war and its injustice.

Leah and Chris Pickett and four of their five children were staying in Saskatchewan to work on a farm when they got a call from their old-est son on Oct. 6, saying there was no water in their Abbotsford home.
The couple thought the pump had broken, and they had it repaired at a cost of $1,200.
They soon discovered their well was dry. They were surprised because when they bought the heritage home – located in the Clearbrook Road area – eight years ago, they were told it had never run dry in over 85 years, Leah said.
The couple is now in conflict with the city over what should be done about the issue.
The Picketts’ house is a pioneer residence built in 1928. The cou-ple purchased it in 2007
and moved in with their three daughters and two sons. They had no previous issues with the well, which draws water from the Abbotsford-Sumas aquifer. The aquifer is also used by the City of Abbotsford for four wells adjacent to Bevan Avenue.
Leah said the couple received two letters – one in 2012 and the other in 2014 – inform-
ing them the city would be drawing more water from the aquifer, but their well, and four oth-ers in the area, would not be impacted.
When the well ran dry, Chris spoke with a city engineer, who told him the city could not help. The family could con-sider hooking up to the city’s water main, but the cost for that ranges from $9,200 to $14,000
and would have to be paid in full at the time the permit application is submitted. Chris said he was told city bylaws do not permit a payment plan to cover the costs.
Chris, who works in the oil industry, has had his work fall by 55 per cent this year, and Leah is a stay-at-home mom. They have been strug-gling to pay their bills.
They temporarily moved to Saskatchewan in September to earn money working on a friend’s farm and are remaining there until the situation at their Abbotsford residence can be resolved.
Their four youngest children are home-schooled, and their oldest son is staying in Abbotsford with family and friends while he at-tends high school.
Peter Sparanese, the general manager of en-gineering and region-al utilities for the City of Abbotsford, said al-though the city is sym-pathetic to the family’s plight, there is no ev-idence that city water use has impacted the Picketts’ well.
He said the Bevan wells are 2.2 kilome-tres east of the family’s property and account for only seven per cent of the water use for Abbotsford and Mission.
Sparanese said the Picketts’ well is shallow – 30 feet deep, compared to the city’s 39-foot-deep wells – and most likely ran dry due to this year’s record-breaking dry summer.
He confirmed that city bylaws require payment upfront to connect to city water services, but said city staff would like to have further conver-sations with the Picketts about their options.
Leah said the family’s best choice is to connect to the city water main, as the costs of install-ing a deeper well on the property are about the same and there is no guarantee that the well won’t run dry again.
Meanwhile, help has come forward for the family after Leah post-ed her family’s situ-ation on social media.Marlon Hall and Chris Veenstra of Metric Civil Contractors Ltd. have volunteered to provide at no cost whatever work they are permitted to do within the city’s guidelines to connect the family to the water main.

Moments made to be remembered
On this day of remembrance, I am doing just that.
After all, war makes memories – millions upon millions of memories. Mostly, they are terribly traumatic, tragic and brutal, occasionally bittersweet, and almost always, life-changing.
Although I’ve not fought in a war, I’ve seen a few up close as a journalist. My memories span the range, from sad to humorous. I know the latter emotion may seem odd. But sometimes you laugh, or you cry. On this day to remember, I’ll share stories of both.
It’s said that laughter is therapeutic. Soldiers may not think of it that way, but they do it. Poking fun at the surrounding circumstances is a way to lighten the stress of what is often grim, gritty reality.
So it was on a particular day in 1991, in a vast stretch of Kuwait desert, where
myself and a photographer were out patrolling with a Canadian combat engi-neer. He and his regiment (1CER) were there to clean up the vicious sandbox of the first Persian Gulf War.
The country had been subjected to one of the most intense bombing and armoured campaigns of modern warfare. What remained was an immense array of unexploded bombs, landmines and other munitions.
Dozens of kilometres from our base, in blast-oven heat, with nothing in sight for as far as the eye could see with the excep-tion of a small, abandoned Iraqi outpost, our truck was leaking its precious radia-tor fluid into the blistering sand.
Radio communication out there was often spotty, and on that day it was non-existent.
We sat in that brick building, and contemplated our situation. Like a maca-bre exclamation mark, the hoof of a dead sheep stuck out from the sand nearby.
On the upside, we had water and half a box of military MREs (Meals, Ready to Eat), so for lack of anything better to do, we pawed through the rations.
Just our luck – several of them were
something the troops called “track pad,” a plastic-packaged ham omelette that earned its nickname because its texture (and probably taste) closely resembled the rubber pads bolted to an armoured vehicle’s steel tracks to enable it to travel on pavement.
At the time, track pad was the most despised item among Canadian military fare, and under the circumstances, it was only fitting that we’d be cursed with it on the menu.
And then we discovered the MRE survey in the box. Someone in the Department of Defence thought soldiers should have some say in what they were eating.
When you are 9,000 miles from home, sitting in a bare building shattered by shrapnel, on a vast expanse of featureless
desert littered with explosives, in a coun-try that doesn’t have working phones, an invitation to express your opinion in this manner is funny. Hysterical, in fact.
We filled it out, tears rolling down our cheeks, cramping with laughter.
It was just as funny when we finally made it out and related the scenario back at base.
One of the soldiers I had made friends with was a fellow I saw a year later in Croatia. Mark was waving a mine detector over a patch of ground in a wet, gloomy forest. Hearty handshakes, smiles and a few moments of catching up, and then my ride was on the move again.
Two years later, I was in Surrey, reading a daily newspaper story about a Canadian soldier who had been killed by a land-mine.
It was the guy I knew, on his second tour in the former Yugoslavia.
I sat there outside my office, in the bright sunshine, and I thought of Mark, his commitment to duty, his compassion for his fellow man, and his quick, some-times dark, sense of humour.
And then I cried.Today, I just remember.
With Halloween behind us, stores and homeowners are already preparing for the Christmas season.
Decorations and displays are creeping into the malls while wish lists are being created.
But between the sugar rush of Halloween and the consumer rush of Christmas lies a date that can often be lost in all the consumer hype – Remembrance Day is upon us.
Today, November 11, ceremonies will be held, wreaths will be placed and veterans will don their uniforms in respect and ap-preciation for the sacrifices made by the men and women who have defended our rights and kept us safe.
Many paid the ultimate price.These ceremonies take place not only
in Abbotsford, or Canada, but worldwide.One day, one hour doesn’t seem like a
heavy price for the public to pay to say thank you and to remember.
But is the true significance of
Remembrance Day becoming lost on a new generation of Canadians?
The First World War has already slipped for many from memory to history and in a few years, as veterans continue to age, the same will occur with the Second World War.
Do our children truly understand the sacrifices made by their grandparents and great-grandparents? Do they un-derstand the sacrifices still being made today?
In this modern age, joining the armed forces and being deployed may not have the same emotional impact on those left behind.
Today, many youth understand war through the eyes of a video console. Supposedly realistic games allow them to be heroes on the TV screen.
Today, we need to remember the real heroes.

A9Abbotsford News Wednesday, November 11, 2015
In response to the Nov. 6 News article, “Parents say survey drew hurtful com-ments”:
My heart goes out to the parents of learning disabled children, but perhaps not for the reason they voiced in this article. Instead of criticizing the school district for the open approach to discussing how they might improve special needs programs, they should actually be grateful. The par-ents are right to be concerned about how their special needs (SN) children are suf-fering in the classroom situation, but they need to know how others see the conse-quences of having them there.
If 53 respondents highlighted the com-ment, “students with behavioural and
learning disabilities consume too much teacher time, and there should be only one or two such students in each class…”, then one ought to realize there may be a problem here. Hiding the responses, or pre-venting them from being expressed does not ensure that a problem will not exist.
As a teacher and school administrator with about five decades of experience in education, it troubles me to see so many children in regular classes who really need to be in a segregated class with a teacher trained to provide the kind of program they need. The classroom is a place of learning, not a social setting. Not only can ‘regular’ students lose out when too many special needs students are placed in the class-
room, but so too do the SN students.I really feel sorry for the teacher who is
expected to manage a class that is com-posed of so many students needing special programming. I cannot understand why there is such a clamour for inclusion, when it is obvious to most that it does not work for many of the special needs students.
Parents have been convinced that this is the only or best way to handle their needs, seemingly oblivious of the problems their own children experience, let alone the others.
Segregated classes in the regular school setting provide the best opportunity for
letters

learning and social needs for most special needs students. I say most, since there is no one-size-fits-all in ed-ucation; some, but not most, SN children can thrive in the regular classroom.
Before one dismisses my comments, it should be noted that the high response numbers in the board’s open gath-ering of information are entirely similar to that I have received from many parents, teachers and special education professionals in private conversation with me.
Many of them are afraid to publicly criti-cize what is promoted as an ideal situation, but I have never backed away from drawing at-tention to what I think is misguided thinking.
Allan Garneau
From A9
I wonder why several years ago city council-lors, guided by legal and financial advisors decid-ed to fight the homeless situation using taxpay-er dollars for legal and associated expenses rather than build, buy or rent an adequate num-ber of “suitable accom-modations?”
Such facilities could be staffed by, or at least jobs offered to former residents of Abbotsford’s seemingly permanent canvas encampments.
Such a practical ar-rangement would have invalidated repetitive legal arguments that homeless people do not have safe shelter from the elements. Time and disclosure of all relat-ed expenses will tell, but perhaps going the “suitable accommoda-tions” route would have proven considerably less costly than the legal fight.

Authorities believe
deceased man was homelessA man’s body
has been found in Abbotsford.
Just after 5 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 9, po-lice received a report of a body behind a business on George Ferguson Way and Cruickshank Street, near Trethewey St.
The coroner attend-ed and the body was removed. The man’s identity has not yet been confirmed.
The cause of death is unknown at press time. Police arrived on the scene after re-ceiving a call about a person in medical distress, Abbotsford Police Const. Paul Walker said
The body is be-lieved to be that of a homeless person, as a shopping cart and several full recycling bags were near the body.
Walker said the man’s death is not believed to be suspi-cious in nature.
It’s the second dis-covery of a body of a suspected homeless man in the past 10 days.
On Oct. 30, a pa-trol officer found a man’s badly de-composed body in a wooded area of West Abbotsford, near the Highstreet shopping centre. Cause of death in that incident is still to be determined by autopsy.
Police and coroner were at the scene of a body discovery Monday morning.KEVIN MACDONALD Abbotsford News

Influenza vaccine now available
Flu season expected to start in late NovemberThis year’s influenza vaccine is
available at doctors’ offices, public health clinics and pharmacies across B.C.
Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the main flu season runs from late November through to next April, and cases of H3N2 influenza are already showing up. That strain affects mainly older peo-ple, while influenza B is expected to show up by February and spread among children.
The vaccine is is free for children between six months and five years, seniors aged 65 and older, pregnant women, aboriginal people and those with chronic health conditions, as well as caregivers and others who expect to be in close contact with higher-risk groups.
About 3,500 people die in Canada each winter from influenza and its complications, with hospital and residential care patients the most vulnerable. Kendall said influenza causes more deaths than all other vaccine-preventable illnesses com-bined.
This year’s vaccine is expected to provide 40 to 60 per cent protec-tion against H3N2 and 65 per cent protection against various strains of influenza B.
“The annual flu vaccine is still the best tool we have to protect against getting the flu,” said Dr. Charles Webb, president of the Doctors of B.C.
To find the nearest flu shot clinic, call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 or use the online influenza clinic finder at www.immunizebc.ca/clinics/flu

Nominations open for Community Matters Award
The Abbotsford School District is again accepting nominations for its 2016 Community Matters Award, which recognizes community part-ners – organizations or individuals – who have exceeded their service mandate in making a significant con-tribution to local students.
The award was established last year, and after reviewing 11 nominations, the district honoured the Abbotsford Rotary Club, Abbotsford Food Bank and the Kiwanis Clubs of Abbotsford and Clearbrook for their efforts and support of students in the district.
“There is a tremendous legacy of community involvement in our schools,” said school board chair Cindy Schafer. “Many organizations contrib-ute resources and/or countless hours of volunteer service to enable our
students to achieve success in school. This is exemplified by Abbotsford Rotary, Abbotsford Food Bank and the Kiwanis Clubs of Clearbrook and Abbotsford, our first recipients of the Community Matters Award.”
For full criteria and nomination de-tails, see the district website at www.sd34.bc.ca/board/CommunityMatters.
Previous nominees who are not award recipients may be re-nomi-nated. Nominations can be emailed to [email protected] or dropped off or mailed to the school district admin-istration offices at 2790 Tims Street (behind city hall). Closing date for nominations is 4 p.m., Monday, Jan.18.
The Community Matters Award for 2016 is tentatively scheduled to be presented at the March 8 public meet-ing of the Board of Education.

Abbotsford neuroscientist honoured by university
Mike Hildebrand hailed for work focusing on pain managementWhen he began
his studies at UFV in 1997, Mike Hildebrand didn’t know where his career would take him.
He admired and was inspired by his teach-ers at Abbotsford’s MEI – Mennonite Educational Institute, and initially thought maybe he’d become a science teacher.
Eighteen years later, he returned to his hometown this week as the winner of UFV’s distinguished alumni award.
Hildebrand, a 2001 graduate of UFV’s BSc program, has followed a scientific journey that took him to the University of British Columbia for a PhD, a post-doctoral in-dustrial research fel-lowship with Zalicus Pharmaceuticals, and
a research fellowship at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.
Since 2013 he has been a tenure-track assistant profes-sor in the neurosci-ence department at Ottawa’s Carleton University, running the Hildebrand Lab, which focuses on pain management.
During the course of
his life he has met people living with chronic pain and they have become a moti-vating force.
“They really put a face on my research for me. I can think that maybe one day, they will be helped by the research I con-duct.”
He has received al-most $400,000 in re-
search funding for his lab, including a $175,000 NSERC Discovery grant and a $140,000 Canada Foundation for Innovation grant.
The inability to ef-fectively treat and manage chronic pain is one of the major public health chal-lenges facing Canada today. In order to de-velop better drugs to treat chronic pain, re-searchers need to un-derstand what goes wrong at a molecu-lar and cellular level. The spinal cord is an essential component in the pain transmis-sion pathway and the Hildebrand lab explores how chron-ic pain works in the area. Hildebrand’s lab is also investigating potential molecular connections between chronic stress, de-pression, and chronic pain.
“Our hope is that our program will train future health care professionals and re-searchers in Canada and lead to the dis-covery of pain-pro-ducing molecules best suited as potential targets for new chron-ic pain drugs,” he said.
Hildebrand has strong family roots in the Fraser Valley, where he grew up on a chicken farm run by his parents.
“My family did not have an extensive ed-ucational background, but they valued knowledge and learn-ing and taught us to be curious about the world around us.”
It was a long pro-cess becoming the research scientist he is today and he could not have made the journey without help from others.
Hildebrand, now 36, is now happily settled in Ottawa with his wife Sara, a teacher, and their three chil-dren.
He will be honoured Thursday at UFV’s Distinguished Alumni award ceremony, which takes place at UFV’s Town and Gown gala dinner on the Abbotsford campus.

Use of hotels to house youth in careunder review by ministry, representative
Announcement follows September death of Alex Gervais in AbbotsfordThe Ministry of
Children and Family Development (MCFD) and the Office of the Representative for Children and Youth (RCY) have initiated a joint review of the use of hotels to house chil-dren who are in the care of the province, minis-ter Stephanie Cadieux and representative Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond an-nounced Monday.
The announce-ment comes after the high-profile death of Abbotsford teen Alex Gervais, who had been housed in a local hotel before falling or jump-ing to his death in September.
The review will exam-ine the historical and current usage of hotels as placements for chil-dren in care, including the demographics of those children, the rea-sons behind the use of hotels as placements and the potential risks to children in care as-sociated with hotel stays, according to a press release issued by MCFD. The review will also make recommen-dations regarding new policy and practice on hotel placements going forward.
Gervais, 18, had been living in the Super 8 hotel on Sumas Way for about two months after the group home in which he was living was among 23 that the min-istry shut down due to health and safety con-cerns.
Turpel-Lafond has said she had been hear-ing from youth in those homes that they feared for their safety and there were issues such as drug use, aggression and lack of proper nu-trition.
She said she was given assurances from the ministry that none of the 33 youth impacted by the closures would be placed in hotels or in single-occupancy living quarters.
Turpel-Lafond said the first time she knew that those commit-ments had been broken was when she heard of Gervais’ death.
The teen, who friends have said suffered
from depression, fell or jumped out of a fourth-floor window of the hotel and plunged to his death.
The Abbotsford Police Department has con-firmed that foul play was not involved.
According to the re-lease, the joint review will incorporate all rel-evant data on the sub-
ject available to MCFD, its delegated aboriginal agencies and the Office of the Representative. It will include a review of relevant literature, com-parisons with policy and practice in other juris-dictions, consultation with subject-matter experts and interviews with MCFD and delgat-ed aboriginal agencies
front-line staff, superv isors , contracted ser-vice providers and others.
The final re-port will be pre-sented to the legislature and released public-ly before the end of this year.
“Our aim is to place
children and youth in foster homes and resi-dential resourc-es that match their needs and minimize the possibility of further moves,” MCFD Minister
Stephanie Cadieux said in the release. “Together with the RCY, we are
taking a close look at policy and practice to ensure that when young people come into gov-ernment care we can provide them with safe, secure, appropriate liv-ing arrangements while we work to connect (or re-connect) them with a permanent, loving home.”
Turpel-Lafond said
she wants “to support MCFD to reduce and eliminate the use of ho-tels as placements, even in emergency situations. As always, our role is to help the ministry to meet its mandate and ensure that children re-ceive services that are appropriate rather than crisis-driven or stop-gap measures.”

Funding for anti-gang school programs
Money to fund presentations led by ex-gangsterThe provin-
cial government announced $10,000 in funding Tuesday for an anti-gang program in schools around the province.
B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton made the announce-ment at Abbotsford Community Services, noting that the urgen-cy to push back against gangs was underscored by the recent murder of Ping Shun Ao, an innocent bystander who was killed by a stray bullet in Abbotsford two months ago. The inci-
dent was linked to the so-called Townline Hill conflict, which has seen two groups of about 40 men fight-ing over drug territory.
Anton called Ao’s death “a solemn reminder that the effects of gangs in B.C. are not isolated to those involved” in
such groups.“These incidents
must stop,” she added.The funding
announced Tuesday will go to the End Gang Life program, which sees ex-gang-ster Jordan Buna make presentations in schools. Buna talks about his own life, and the consequenc-es of getting involved in a gang.
The presentation has also recently been translated to Punjabi to reach a broader segment of the popu-lation.
B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton was in Abbotsford Tuesday to announce funidng for an anti-gang program.
Air evac for self-inflicted injuriesPolice and emer-
gency personnel re-sponded Monday to a man needing medical attention on North Parallel Road at Fooks Road in an ag-ricultural area of east Abbotsford.
Police confirmed the situation involved a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the leg. No other individuals were involved and there was no threat to pub-lic safety.
At about 1:30 p.m. the man was brought in a police SUV from the vicinity of a house in the area, near a cornfield and a turkey farm.
He remained in po-lice custody as he was transferred to a ground ambulance.
Police said he was conscious, talking to those on scene and not in critical condi-tion.
He was transported to hospital via an air evac helicopter which landed on North Parallel, which runs adjacent to Highway 1.

House prices up 13 per cent in ValleyReal estate gains more modest than in Vancouver
House prices in the Fraser Valley have climbed sharply this year, though the mar-ket is not as red-hot as in Vancouver.
The benchmark price of a detached house in the Valley hit $649,200 in October. That’s a 13.2 per cent increase from a year ago and up nine per cent from $595,600 in April.
The strongest price gain was in North Delta, where typical detached houses were
up nearly 18 per cent since October 2014 to $658,600.
That was a little lower than the average one-year gain of just over 20 per cent as of October in the Greater Vancouver Real Estate Board’s area, which includes Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows but excludes the South of Fraser cities.
Greater Vancouver benchmark house pric-es are now at nearly $1.2 million, although that more than doubles
to $2.77 million on the west side of Vancouver.
Houses and town-houses dominate the market in the Fraser Valley, making up 83 per cent of sales in October, according to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, which includes Surrey and White Rock.
“The reasons are due to low interest rates, pent-up demand and most importantly, price,” said FVREB pres-ident Jorda Maisey.
The benchmark price
of townhouses in the Valley is $313,700 and it’s $203,100 for condos. Both are up just over five per cent from a year ago.
Benchmark prices are a gauge of a typical property and are con-sidered more reflective of the market than av-erage sale prices, which can be skewed up by high-end transactions.
The only areas where prices have dropped marginally from a year ago are condos in
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

Summit Pacific holds food driveSummit Pacific College (SPC) in Abbotsford
collected 14 boxes of needed items for the Abbotsford Food Bank after holding a food drive in October.
The small school of about 150 students decided to help out after reading a news article stating the food bank was in a crisis situation.
A few years ago, SPC launched a campaign called #SPCLovesAbby, where they look for prac-tical and intentional ways of serving the com-munity.
Students felt that the food bank fit well with that campaign.
“We believe in the work they do. They are meeting crucial needs in our community, and we wanted to come alongside them in doing that,” said Josh Reynolds, the school’s co-ordinator of community relations and global development.
Birthday girl helps wildlife
centreClare Reimer accepts
donations in lieu of giftsFor her fourth birthday in a row, nine-year-old
Clare Reimer asked for dona-tions to an animal rescue cen-tre in lieu of presents.
This year, she raised $230 for Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center in-Abbotsford.
Deciding who to raise money for this year was an easy deci-sion. In August, Clare brought a pigeon with an injured wing to Elizabeth’s for rehabilitation, and she made that her charity of choice for 2015.
To date, Clare has collected $920 for animal res-cue, incluiding Greyhaven Exotic Bird Sanctuary. and the Vancouver Aquarium’s sea otters.
Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center, a non-profit since 1999 relies solely on donations from the public to run the facility. For more information, visit eliza-bethswildlifecenter.org.

Eagles donate to children’s societyAn Abbotsford banquet hall filled with more than
150 members of the Fraternal Order of Eagles (FOE) was silent as Diane Sowden, executive director of Children of the Street Society, recently shared her story.
Sowden’s daughter was just 13 years old when she was drawn into a life of drug addiction and sold on the Downtown Eastside in an area known as the Kiddie Stroll.
From this experience and her training as a certi-fied family support worker, Sowden now works to educate and raise awareness about this issue while providing support for children and families already affected by sexual exploitation.
Following Sowden’s presentation, Gerry Acton, provincial charities coordinator for the B.C. FOE, announced a $5,000 donation to support the soci-ety’s annual awareness campaign.
$28,000 raised at Discovery Luncheon
Funds go to BC Cancer Agency programThe BC Cancer Foundation’s
2015 Discovery Luncheon in Abbotsford on Nov. 3 raised $28,000 to support the BC Cancer Agency’s Personalized Onco-Genomics (POG) Program.
The third annual luncheon celebrated the importance of research at the BC Cancer Agency Abbotsford Centre and the future of cancer care through the latest advance-ments in treatment options.
“While over 26,000 British Columbians will be diagnosed with cancer this year alone, breakthroughs in research con-tinue to increase our knowl-edge and provide new hope
for patients,” said Erik Dierks, vice-president of Development at the BC Cancer Foundation.
The first and only program of its kind in the world, POG is leading the way to person-alized medicine for patients in B.C.
Philanthropic support from the 2015 Discovery Luncheon will enable the program, one of the BC Cancer Agency’s most promising research initiatives, to uncover new treatment op-tions that could greatly im-prove the quality of life for pa-tients in Abbotsford and across the province.
Abbotsford businessman
David Holmberg and his wife Lee lost their son, David Jr., to brain cancer five years ago.
Throughout the years, the Holmbergs’ support of cancer research has helped fuel the latest advancements at the BC Cancer Agency’s Abbotsford Centre. The couple donated an-other $5,000 at the Discovery Luncheon.
“The researchers at the BC Cancer Agency are so dedicated to what they do,” said Holmberg, himself a two-time cancer sur-vivor himself. “Making a dona-tion and supporting their work is absolutely vital in moving research forward.”

Cascades earn bronze medalThe UFV Cascades are once again
Canada West men’s soccer bronze med-alists.
UFV earned its second bronze medal in the past three years, after beating the TWU Spartans 2-1 on Saturday at UBC Thunderbirds Stadium.
Connor MacMillan opened the scoring in the 46th min-ute for the Cascades and then set up Michael Mobilio for the game winner in the 72nd min-ute. The Spartans added a late goal to make it close, but UFV hung on for the victory.
“I’m really proud,” Cascades head coach Tom Lowndes said. “They’re a fantastic group to coach, and I think we deserved it over the course of the season. It’s huge for the program, and a really nice way to finish the season.”
The Cascades were coming off a 3-0 defeat to the UBC Thunderbirds on Friday that dashed the club’s hopes for a na-tional championship. The bronze medal
showing matches the best-ever confer-ence finish for the men’s team, which also earned a bronze in 2013.
“It was a slow start for both teams –
you could tell, emotionally, how much yesterday’s games took out of us and Trinity,” said Lowndes. “As the first half wore on, we got a foothold in the game and started to press them a bit more. We didn’t want halftime to come. As we like
to do, we made it interesting at the end by letting them back in. But we defended well, and we saw the game out. Fantastic result for the boys.”
It was the final game for right back Colton O’Neill, who finish-es his university career with a pair of bronze medals. Lowndes said O’Neill has been a big part of the program during his ten-ure.
“There’s not much you can say about Colton O’Neill that hasn’t already been said,” he said. “The kid’s a winner. Fantastic player, a privilege to coach, an all-around first-class person. And by far, for me, prob-ably the best player to ever play for this program.”
The gold medal game saw UBC defeat UVic 2-1 in overtime, and that means Abbotsford’s Gagan
Dosanjh gets a shot at a national title. The fifth-year midfielder picked up an assist in the win.
UBC heads to the CIS men’s soccer championship in Toronto from Nov. 12 to 15.

for playoffs
After a slow start, the Robert Bateman Timberwolves com-pleted a season turn-around on Nov. 6.
On Oct. 23, the Wolves were winless and needed wins in the club’s final two games to have a shot at the postseason – and that’s exactly what Bateman did.
Bateman beat the Rick Hansen Hurricanes on Oct. 30 and then won in over-time in Pitt Meadows on Friday to secure a playoff berth.
Dawson Davis was the overtime hero for Bateman, scoring a five-yard touch-down in the fourth overtime to give the Wolves a 19-16 win.
Quarterback Keegan Vicklund and Tyson Gibson scored the other majors for Bateman. Davis also led the way defen-sively with 11 tackles.
The Timberwolves now earn a date with the Prince George Polars in round one of the playoffs. The teams travel to Kamloops for a neu-tral site game on Friday at 5 p.m.

Middle School Huskies junior varsity team looks to continue its perfect season on

pleted a 7-0 regular season with a 30-12 win over Pitt Meadows on Nov. 4. The club outscored its opposi-
tion 310-19 during reg-ular season play.

Cascades men extinguish UBC-O HeatThe UFV Cascades
men’s basketball team reached a whole new level of heating up on Saturday.
The team recorded
one of its best shooting halves ever to vault to an 84-69 win over the UBC-O Heat.
The Cascades en-tered the second half trailing 37-32 but then exploded for 30 points
in the third quarter to cruise to the win.
UFV shot a remark-able 90 per cent from the three-point line, hitting nine of 10, and shot 74 per cent from the field in the second
half. Head coach Adam Friesen said everything clicked in that third quarter.
“It was the tale of two halves,” he said. “First half it was hit or miss for us, but the
second half was one of the hottest shooting halves I’ve ever seen. We didn’t expect that kind of scoring, but we came out with a good mindset, the effort was there and the shots were falling.”
Guard Vijay Dhillon led the way with 26 points and six re-bounds, while Kevon Parchment added 20 points and nine as-sists. Mark Johnson picked up 20 points, six rebounds and three blocks.
Friesen said several of his players stepped up in the absence of big man Nate Brown, who went down with an injury on Friday.
“Kevon was great for us and to see him trust his teammates, espe-cially on the second night when you know they will be trying to stop him was big,” he said. “I also thought Vijay played well and responded big for us tonight.”
The men’s team also defeated the Heat 79-67 on Friday. Parchment had a team high 19 points
and seven rebounds, Johnson had 15 points and 10 boards, and Brown had 15 points and seven rebounds before his injury.
“We’re happy to come away with two wins against a quality team,” Friesen said.
The women’s team split the pair of games with the Heat, win-ning 68-50 on Friday and losing 63-59 on Saturday.
Transfer Shayna Cameron made a huge impact in her Canada West debut, scoring 27 points, grabbing 11 rebounds and dish-
ing out five assists. Cameron previous-ly starred for four years with the Quest Kermodes, winning back-to-back Pacwest titles with the club.
Saturday saw the Cascades come up short and the team struggled from the three-point line, only hitting four of 20. Kayli Sartori (17 points, six rebounds) led the way for UFV on Saturday, and Taylor Claggett had a team high 14 re-bounds.
The teams next host the MacEwan Griffins on Friday and Saturday.

Pilots win streak snapped at sevenThe Abbotsford
Pilots seven-game winning streak came to a sudden halt on Saturday.
Abbotsford ran into an Aldergrove Kodiaks team that scored three unan-swered goals that led to a 5-1 win.
The Kodiaks jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first, and then added another goal early in the second period. Sean Olson of the Pilots scored Abbotsford’s lone goal half-way through the second period, but the Kodiaks added two more goals be-fore the game’s final whistle.
Abbotsford’s power play failed to convert on any of its eight chances.
The last time the Pilots had suffered a defeat was all the way back on Oct. 15.
The weekend wasn’t a lost cause, however, as they posted a 6-2 win over the Langley Knights on Friday.
Abbotsford jumped out to a 6-0 lead after two periods, and then the Knights added two goals in the game’s final frame.
Cole Methorst, Alexander Methorst, Justin Wilde, Hayden Guilderson, Erik Olson and Kenessary Kylyshbeck tallied for the Pilots. Goalie
Jacob Crawford stopped 24 of 26 shots in the win.
The Pilots record is now 12 wins, six loss-es and one overtime loss, and the club is in second place in the Harold Brittain con-ference.
Abbotsford next hosts the Ridge Meadows Flames on Friday, and then trav-el to North Vancouver on Saturday to battle the Wolf Pack.

VAN RIJNTina (nee Reimer)
July 30, 1929 ~ November 5, 2015 It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Tina. Though we weren’t ready to let her go we rejoice that she had a strong faith in the Lord and is now in heaven reunited with many family and friends. She was a caring and loving wife, mother, grand-mother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Tina was born in Osage, SK. From there she travelled with her family via covered wagon to Alberta where she lived until the early 1960’s when as a young wife and mother the family moved to the Lower Mainland in BC. Tina had a great love of fl owers and it became her occupation when Chestnut Greenhouses was built in Surrey in 1966.
Tina was pre-deceased by her parents, 8 siblings and her great granddaughter Juliet. She is survived by four siblings as well as her husband, George, her four children: Brenda (Erv) Janzen, Dave (Val), Wayne (Joy), and Bev (Robin) Burnette; eight grand-children Chris (Nolene), Justine, Ryan, Jordan, Kelsey, Allison, Faith and Ella. She also had the joy of being a great grandmother to Oliver and Eva. We will celebrate Tina’s life on Saturday, November 14th at Grace Church at 1:30 pm, 2087 McMillan Road, Abbotsford. Please feel free to bring some fl owers as that was Tina’s wish. “I want LOTS of fl owers at my memorial”.
