2015

Megan Dirksen was out for dinner with friends Friday evening in a Paris restaurant when a new acquaintance, a local named Marie, checked her phone and brought her hands up to her face.

Hours earlier, Marie had told Dirksen a Mission resident who had come to the city for a month-long vacation that Paris never gets old.

No matter how long you are here, you al-ways discover something new, she said

Now Dirksen looked on with concern, as Marie learned that her beloved city had come under attack by men bearing suicide vests and AK-47s.

Soon the phones of Marie and the rest of those at the groups tables lit up as family members sought to get in touch and learn their loved ones were safe.

The group soon broke up and outside the restaurant, Dirksen and her friend were able to get a taxi with the help of their tour guide.

As we waited, the city was at the deadest calm I have ever felt. Eerie is the word and

IDEAL FOR THE SLOW COOKER

Terrorist attacks in Paris last Friday shouldnt change Canadian attitudes or pol-icies towards those fleeing violence in Syria or else-where, says Wayne Bremner, executive director of the Abbotsford-based Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) BC, which has already helped nearly a dozen churches apply to sponsor refugees.

Although much is still unknown about those who planned and carried out the bombings and shootings that killed 129 people, the attacks are believed to be linked to the Islamic State (ISIS), which is engaged in bloody con-flict in a number of Middle Eastern countries, resulting in widespread destruction, death and displacement of civilian populations.

Five of the nine attack-ers had been identified as of press time. All five had previously visited Syria and were of French nationali-ty. Another man is believed to have travelled on a fake Syrian passport. But the at-tacks have prompted some to call for the government to scale back its efforts to reset-tle those affected by the ref-ugee crisis, many of whom have come from countries where ISIS is active includ-ing Syria and Iraq.

During the election, the Liberal government had pledged to bring 25,000 refu-gees into Canada by the end of the year. Details of that initiative were still being worked out when terror-ists struck Paris. This week, the Conservative Premier of Saskatchewan Brad Wall called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to suspend his plan to speed up the re-settlement of refugees in Canada, although Ontario and Quebec say they are still on board.

Bremner, though, said it

would be a rather tragic sit-uation if security concerns caused Canada to back away from efforts to help refugees.

Its really unfortunate that the actions of a very small number of people would cause large concern regard-ing the Syrian population as a whole, he said.

Bremner noted that the at-tacks in Paris are a symptom of the very same type of fighting that has displaced two-thirds of Syrians and caused many to seek refuge in Europe. Bremner said screening pro-tocols need to be followed, but that Canadians shouldnt be afraid of those seeking to come here.

Theres a good process in place, said Bremner, who noted that refugees are screened by national se-curity agencies.

The MCCs Abbotsford-based B.C. headquarters has already helped 11 Mennonite churches apply to sponsor refugee families. Around half of those church-es are located in Abbotsford. Dozens more churches have inquired about help-ing to sponsor refu-gees.

Weve had an unprecedented re-sponse, Bremner said.

Jati Sidhu, the Miss ion-Matsqui -Fraser Canyon Liberal MP, was not available for an interview but provided an email state-ment.

The Paris attacks are a tragedy, and remind us that we must be vigilant against those who would use terror to threaten both our lives and freedom, the response read. That vigilance will be well in place when we offer our help to those refugees

seeking to escape the very tyranny and violence perpe-trated in France.

Sidhu wrote that he couldnt comment on how many refugees may be heading to the Abbotsford area. We have no idea of the numbers B.C. may be ex-pecting, he wrote, adding that the government will be in touch with premiers and mayors.

We have a team of min-isters currently working on a plan to bring the refugees

to Canada responsi-bly, effectively, and in a secure way, Sidhu wrote.

H o w e v e r , A b b o t s f o r d Conservative MP Ed Fast says the govern-ment should re-ex-amine its timeline objectives in reset-tling refugees here.

Fast told The News that Trudeau should reconsider timelines for bringing refu-gees to Canada.

The Paris attacks are shocking and I believe it gives Canada pause to re-

flect on how fragile global security really is, Fast said Monday.

Canada is not im-mune to this insidi-ous force.

Fast said the gov-ernment needs to make security of Canadians its prior-ity, but he said refu-gee resettlement can

still take place.Its always a balance be-

tween compassion and our national security interests, but those are not mutual-ly exclusive objectives, Fast said. Our party will sup-port efforts to provide a safe home for the most vulnera-ble people in Syria and Iraq, but were also demanding that all refugees will be properly screened to ensure that Canada remains safe.

B.C. Premier Christy Clark said Monday that while there are legitimate security concerns, many refugees are fleeing the same type of vi-olence inflicted on Parisians last week.

Abbotsford Community Services is also gearing up to serve an expected influx of refugees settling in the Abbotsford area.

Donna Lo, the communi-ty organizations manager of settlement services, says theyre taking an inventory of what they have and what they need.

Currently, one of the settle-ment workers speaks Arabic, and there is also a translator program the group can tap into.

A number of local church-es, as well as some local residents, have offered spare space for temporary hous-ing, And theyre planning a meeting on Nov. 30 with immigrants from areas near Syria and local service pro-viders, to chart out the next steps.

The majority of our cli-ents are immigrants, not refugees, said Lo. We hope to be ready.

With Premier Clark urg-ing incoming refugees to consider areas beyond the dense, housing-starved Vancouver core, its like-ly some will choose Abbotsford, especially given the citys strong network of charitable and communi-ty services for immigrants from groups like ACS and MCC.

Lo recently attended a Vancouver symposium on how to help Syrian refu-gees, from the Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and Service Agencies of B.C. She said cultural literacy will be a big component of their coming work.

Every country is differ-ent, every culture is differ-ent, she said.

A lot of times I get asked Where are the Buyers coming from these days? Well we hear anecdotes that perhaps many of the Buyers in Vancouver & Richmond are from mainland China. But here in Abbotsford, this year almost more than any in the past 10 years, there are many people moving into our area from across Canada again, whether theyre from Ontario or the Prairies or the Maritimes. Our economy is strong and we live in a beautiful, highly sought after area. So Real Estate has been selling in almost record numbers this year. If youd like more specifi cs for your situation just give me a call or send me a text or email.

Two years ago, Abbotsford writer Lori Dixon wrote an article for Christian Woman Magazine and connect-ed a survey to the story, asking women if they had ever been emotion-ally hurt by women in the church.

More than 150 women from around the world responded. The book, Soles Defining Souls, is a result of the sur-vey and is filled with quotes from the various women.

A book launch takes place Wednesday, Nov. 25 from 7 to 9 p.m. at The Reach Gallery Museum (32388 Veterans Way) and on Saturday, Nov. 28 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at House of James (2743 Emerson St.).

Illustrations are by Abbotsford artist Alisha Deddens.

Net proceeds from sales of the book are going to Cyrus Centre and the LIFE Recovery House.

There is also a trea-sure hunt book drop happening, with 50 cop-ies being left behind all over the world.

During the week end-ing Nov. 28, four books will be dropped lo-cally. Follow the hints to find the books at www.facebook.com/SolesDefiningSouls/

JULY 21-24Rise above. Reach beyond.

On Thursday, November 5 the Abbotsford 2016 BC Summer Games Society held a Key Volunteer

Rally. More than 125 volunteers, who will form the leadership team for the Games, met for the fi rst time as a group. The rally provided an opportunity for the team to celebrate the work that has already been done, to make connections with other team members, and to look ahead to next summer.Abbotsford 2016 BC Summer Games president, Steve Carlton, introduced the team and thanked them for the commitment they are making to the success of these Games. If the excitement and energy in the room was any indication of what to expect next July 21 to 24, then the 2700 athletes coming to Abbotsford are in for something very special.

At the rally, the team was also introduced to Taunya Geelhoed who was recently hired as the Operations Manager for the BC Summer Games. Taunya comes with great deal of experience in organizing sporting events and will provide an important role in supporting the Key Volunteers. Taunya will be based out of the Summer Games offi ce at Rick Hansen Secondary School and can be reached at 604.870.4263.Besides the leadership team, the Abbotsford 2016 BC Summer Games will be looking for more than 3000 other volunteers. Among many other positions, the Games will need cooks and servers, drivers, bus guides, hosts, accommodation attendants, and security and medical personnel. There is a role for anyone interested in helping with the Games. Volunteers can register online at www.bcgames.org.

Operation Red Nose kicked off its 20th annual campaign in Abbotsford on Friday.

Peter Fassbender, the

Minister Responsible for TransLink; ICBC program manag-er Aileen Shibata; Abbotsford acting mayor Coun. Patricia Ross; MLA Darryl

Plecas; Operation Red Nose executive direc-tor Guylaine Beaupr; and Rudy the Reindeer all made appearanc-es during the event at Sevenoaks shopping centre.

From Nov. 27 to Dec. 31, more than 50,000 citizens hit the road to help provide peo-ple with an addi-

tional option to get home safe and avoid drinking and driving. Abbotsford is one of 13 communities in B.C. to receive the service.

The 2015 campaign also marks an import-ant chapter in the his-tory of Operation Red Nose, since the orga-nization will reach the milestone of two mil-

lion rides on Nov. 28.That number rep-

resents the number of Canadians who have made the responsible decision to plan a safe ride by calling upon the Operation Red Nose service to get home safe.

We know how much this program helps to keep our roads safe during the holidays, Shbata said.

In each of the com-munities where the organization offers its free safe ride ser-vice, citizens mobilize themselves to volun-teer one night or more during the holiday season in order to help make their communi-ty safer while helping raise funds for local youth programs.

Last year, $1.5 mil-lion was raised in cli-ent donations, and turned over to youth or amateur sports or-ganizations.

Panthers post big playoff win

The Abbotsford Panthers are the last local team left stand-ing after round one of the BC high school football playoffs.

The Panthers beat the Pitt Meadows Marauders 57-8, in a game that was decided very early.

R u n n i n g back Richard T s h i m p a k a scored his first of three touchdowns to open the scoring and the Panthers had a 29-0 lead by the second quar-ter.

Also re-c o r d i n g touchdowns were: Chase C l a y p o o l , A n t h o n y P h a n , Manny Jhally, Reese Morrison and Tanner Marquardt. Claypool also took some reps at quarterback, throw-ing two touchdowns. Regular starting quar-terback John Madigan also threw for a pair of scores.

Panthers head coach Jay Fujimura said his team took

care of business.We did what we

were expected to do, he said. We had an all-around good start and were able to run the ball well. We wanted to work on our ground game and try out a few new packages, and every-

thing went according to plan.

Fujimura said it has been a great ride for the team and this years graduating class.

This class has worked hard and have been togeth-er since Grade 9, he said. And its quite a group.

He pointed out that the Panthers received several year-end AA division awards in-cluding: Claypool (most valuable play-er) , Tshimpaka (top running back), Michael Sabourin (top linebacker), Morrison (top defensive back),

M a d i g a n (top quarter-back), James Parker (top kicker), and Clifford Jesse (top offen-sive lines-man).

T h e P a n t h e r s now head to Nanaimo this week-end to bat-tle the John B a r s b y B u l l d o g s , who dis-posed of the Moscrop P a n t h e r s 77-0 on

Saturday. Fujimura said it will be a battle.

Its going to be a tough game, he said. Theyre a bigger team and they grind. Its going to be close.

The Bulldogs posted a 4-0 record during the regular season, and only allowed 27

CBC men fall to Island teamsWomen split opening homestand, men lose two

The CBC Bearcats mens basketball team drew even with the top-ranked club in the country early in the third quarter on Saturday, but it all fell apart from there.

The VIU Mariners shut the door in the third and fourth quar-ter, outscoring CBC by 14 to earn a 94-75 win in Abbotsford on Saturday.

Despite the loss, Bearcats head coach Matthew Boulton said he liked his teams ef-fort.

I felt pretty good about it but we defi-nitely got some cold shooting in the sec-ond half, he said. Obviously our size is an issue, but the big one for us today was the 29 points they got off of our turnovers. I feel like we were the cause of our own loss.

After a slow start to the game, the Bearcats caught fire in the second quar-ter and outscored the Mariners 26-19. CBC guard Kevin Davis was two assists away from a triple-double, with 17 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists. Si Woo Youn added 16 points, with Elijah Calhoun and Jamie Konrad contributing 13 points apiece.

Boulton said the 20 turnovers are what killed the Bearcats momentum.

They changed up their defence in the second half and were pressing us a bit, he said. We had 11 turn-overs in the second half and not good turnovers. Some were at centre court where they could just run in lay-ups. It makes it difficult to stay com-petitive if were just handing them lay-ups.

The Bearcats also lost to the Camosun Chargers 81-60 on Friday. CBC fell apart in the second half, shooting just 25 per cent. Boulton said the team got into foul trouble, and couldnt get back into the game. The Bearcats were out-rebounded 41-25 by Camosun.

Davis had anoth-

er strong game, with 15 points, seven as-sists and six steals. Umbori Watson added 14 points, and Jamie Konrad scored 11.

The loss drops CBC to a record of one win and four losses, and they sit in sixth place in the Pacwest.

It was a better week-end for the womens team, as they split the pair of games against the Island teams.

CBC rode a 26-16 first quarter to a 69-58 win over Camosun on Friday. Guard Mandy Van Delden led the way with 21 points, four rebounds and four steals. The Bearcats also got big games from Harvina Kaler (16 points, seven rebounds and seven steals) and Sarah Rozendal (13 points and six rebounds).

A cold third quar-

ter then sunk the Bearcats on Saturday, as they only managed seven points, and fell 80-49 to the Mariners.

VIU shot 48 per cent from the field in the second half to secure the win, while the Bearcats only shot 28 per cent for the game.

Deanna Esau had a strong game for CBC, with 14 points and nine rebounds. Three-point shooting was off for Bearcats, with the team only making five of 29 for the game.

The women sit in fifth place in the Pacwest, with a record of two wins and three losses.

The teams continue the home stand this week, with Douglas College coming to Abbotsford on Friday and Capilano on Saturday.

Tip-off for the games is 6 p.m. for the women and 8 p.m. for the men on Friday, and 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Pilots earn overtime winThe Abbotsford

Pilots almost let one slip away on Friday, but saved the game in overtime against the Ridge Meadows Flames.

Abbotsford saw a third-period two-goal lead vanish, as the Flames came back from a 4-2 deficit to send the game to overtime with just over a minute left in the final frame.

Cole Methorst then potted the game win-ner at 4:50 of overtime to give the Pilots the two points.

Also scoring for the Pilots were: Devon Becker, Dryden Michaud and Jackson

Waniek (two). Methorst (four), Michaud (three), Waniek and Becker all had multi-point nights for the Pilots.

Goalie Jacob Crawford made 40 saves in the win, and neither team connected on a power play goal.

Abbotsford travelled

to North Vancouver on Saturday to play the Wolf Pack, and came up short against the defending Pacific Junior Hockey League cham-pions.

The Pilots fell 3-0, and only managed to muster 16 shots. After a scoreless first peri-

od, North Vancouver added goals early in the second and third periods, before scoring an empty netter in the games final minutes. Abbotsford was zero for five on the power play, but Crawford was solid in the loss, making 24 saves.

The pair of games keeps the Pilots en-trenched in second place in the Harold Brittain conference, with a record of 13 wins, seven losses and one overtime loss.

Abbotsford next hits the road on Thursday to face the Langley Knights, and then host the Wolf Pack on Friday. Face-off is set for 7:30 p.m at the MSA Arena.

points all year.In AAA action,

Friday was the end of the line for the W.J. Mouat Hawks. They fell 28-6 to the Notre Dame Jugglers at home and are done for 2015.

The Hawks defence kept the game close in the first half, as Mouat only trailed 13-0. Notre Dame had threatened to score majors on two drives, but the Hawks de-fence forced them to settle for field goals.

The offence came to life in the second half when Elijah Falconer caught a touchdown. but the Jugglers run-ning game was too much for Mouat.

It was a pret-ty frustrating game and we didnt seem to catch any breaks, said Mouat head coach Travis Bell. It was a physical game and we were in it but we didnt capitalize on our opportunities. This was our most physical game our defence has played all year, we knew they were going to run the ball, but I was happy with our physicality.

Bell said that, de-spite Notre Dames record of one win and four losses, he knew it would be a tough game.

They play in a dif-ferent conference than us and you cant really go by records. We were expecting to win but nothing in AAA is going to be easy. They were able to ground and pound the ball and they cap-italized.

It was Bells first year behind the bench for the Hawks, and he said he will always remember the graduating players.

Ill remember the Grade 12s that played four hard years for us, he said. The Dion Pellerins and the Alex Johnsons the guys that stuck it out and did the pro-gram proud.

Running back Pellerin and wide re-ceiver Elijah Falconer were also named to the AAA East All-Conference team for their efforts during the regular season.

Those guys both bought into the pro-

gram and it paid div-idends for them, he said. I couldnt be happier for them.

He said the poten-tial is there for sever-al graduating Hawks players to continue playing football next year at the post-sec-ondary level, with some possibly earn-ing scholarships.

Bell said the pieces are there next year to have a strong run.

There are a lot of pieces here and were learning on the fly, we hope to be better next year.

Over in Kamloops, the season also ended for the Robert Bateman Secondary Timberwolves, who lost 19-0 to the Prince George Secondary Polars on Friday.

The Timberwolves managed only 90 yards offence in the loss, and allowed 15 quarterback sacks.

Bateman staged a year-end turnaround, winning its final two games in order to qualify for the post-season.-

Hawks running back Dion Pellerin shakes off a Notre Dame defender during playoff action on Friday.

The UFV Cascades mens basketball team continued its strong early start to the Canada West season, sweeping the MacEwan Griffins at home on Friday and Saturday.

An injury to Cascades forward Mark Johnson on Friday shook things up in the UFV rotation, but the bench stepped up to lead the team to a 74-64 win.

Marcus Morgan scored a career-high 17 points, and guard Kevon Parchment added 17 points and nine re-bounds. The Cascades had a four-point lead at the half, and took over in the third quarter by outscoring MacEwan 24-14. The bench con-tributed with 31 points overall.

The clubs met again on Saturday, and UFVs offence was on full display. The Cascades shot 49 per cent and outscored the Griffins 97-56. A balanced attack saw five players reach

double digits, and head coach Adam Friesen said his team stepped up in the absence of starters Johnson and Nate Brown.

It started with lead-ership from our core guys recognizing that hey, life just got a little bit tougher due to inju-ry, he said. We trusted everyone on the team, we spaced the floor, we

shared the basketball. We knew we had to play with pace and move the basketball, and make the simple play. A lot of guys got a lot of good opportunities out of it, and it happened today that we shot the ball well.

Brandon Burke (20 points, nine rebounds), Parchment (16 points, nine rebounds, five

assists and Navjot Bains (16 points, eight rebounds) were key contributors for UFV. Morgan (14) and Vijay Dhillon (12) also broke double digits in points, and Matt Cooley added six points, eight re-bounds and two blocks.

The Cascades also out-rebounded the Griffins 50-35, and com-mitted only eight turn-overs. UFV is now 4-0 and are tied for first place in the Explorer division with the TWU Spartans.

The womens team earned a split, beating the Griffins 72-61 on Friday, but falling 63-59 on Saturday.

Defence was key to Fridays win, as the Cascades held MacEwan to just 33 per cent shooting.

Kayli Sartori led the way with 25 points, nine rebounds and three blocks, with Shayna Cameron add-ing 18 points and eight rebounds. Sydney Williams (12) and Taylor Claggett (11) also reached double digits.

Im proud of the girls for how they exe-cuted the game plan, said head coach Al Tuchscherer after Fridays win. They got gritty on at the defen-sive end of the floor and played hard, and played offence how we wanted to play.

Saturdays game was tied at 59 with less than a minute to go, but the Griffins scored on the ensuing possession and Sartori was called for travelling when the Cascades got the ball back. UFV quickly fouled but the Griffins made both of their free throws and time ran out for the Cascades.

Sartori had a dou-ble-double, with 24 points and 11 re-bounds, while Williams added 16 points and five rebounds.

The women now have a record of two wins and two losses, and sit fourth in their division.

The teams hit the road for the remain-der of the calendar year, starting on Friday when they travel to Prince George for a pair of games against the UNBC Timberwolves.

Tributes to family and fr iends

CODEHelen (Tkachuk)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Helen Code on 14 November 2015 at the Christine Morrison Hospice.

Helen was predeceased by her husband of 44 years, Verne, her daughter, Dianne, and her granddaughter, Heather. She leaves to mourn her son, Craig (Catherine) and his daughters, Carmen and Caitlin, her brother, Dan (Vi), her sister, Susan, her son-in-law, Gordie, her granddaughter, Kris (Jason), her great-grand-children, Melissa, Duncan, and Adam, and her great-great-granddaughter, Elly.

Helen was born in Hafford, Saskatchewan in 1927, to Nick and Belle Tkachuk. A good student and an avid reader, she headed to Normal School in Saskatoon to begin teacher training in 1944. Given the nature of prairie classrooms, she taught multiple grades in one class. In her rst assignment, as a 17 year old rookie, she had one student who was 16! He continued to visit over the course of her lifetime. Many of her students felt such a connection. She enjoyed a career that spanned more than 40 years. During this time she was very proud to have completed her Bachelors and Masters degrees in Education from UBC. She nurtured this love for higher learning in her descendants.

Helen and Verne moved their young family to Abbotsford in the spring of 1963. Together they worked the land, raised a variety of livestock, and produced honey on their one acre parcel on Huntington Road. As was her wish, Helen was able to live in her home until the last few weeks of her life.

Helen had strong ties to the Code family farm near Red Deer, Alberta. Upon the passing of her husband, she became the matriarch for a pioneering family dynasty that has roots back to the 1890s. She was a devoted steward of this legacy.

A child of the Depression, coming from a family of limited means, nancial independence was very important to Helen. She was generous in sharing her resources to allow family members to attend school, put down payments on homes, and take care of their responsibilities.

Helen was a kind and loving person who never forgot a special occasion. Months ahead of time, she was prepared with cards, gifts, and well wishes that were always much appreciated.

Helen was a thoughtful woman who believed in the power of pub-lic education. In addition to her teaching duties, she would tutor students ranging from primary to post-secondary studies. In her retirement, she spent many hours baking for friends and family; her cookies, pies, and cinnamon buns were legendary. She had a quick wit and a great sense of humour. She loved to share comics and retell jokes that she had heard. She was a dedicated member of Trinity Memorial United Church. Her faith brought her much comfort and solace as she fought a tireless and stoic battle against cancer.

We are forever grateful to the kind personnel at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre, and the Christine Morrison Hospice. Their care and devotion to Helen was much appreciated. No service by request. A private interment will take place at a later date. Should you wish to honour Helen, read a book and be excited to learn something new.

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.- John Dewey
