WATER for the FUTURE

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Abbotsford Police are growing more frustrated about the recent spate of robberies at local businesses, with yet another one taking place – this time, at a pizza restaurant on Halloween night. Const. Ian MacDonald said that despite more police focus on the issue, local businesses – including five Subway sandwich shops – continue to be hit. Arrests have been made in some of the robberies, but most remain unsolved. In most cases, a lone male with his face concealed – usually by a hood wrapped tightly around his face – enters the business carrying a real or replica handgun, demands cash, and then flees. It is not known whether the individual escapes in a car parked away from the scene, although in the case of a Subway robbery on Oct. 18, the suspect fled in a vehicle at the back of the restaurant. Surveillance video has been obtained, but concealment of the suspect’s face has made identification difficult. “Whether it’s an individual or a group of individuals or a pair of individuals, it’s obviously the biggest crime issue we’ve faced this year,” MacDonald said. The latest robbery happened just before 10 p.m. on Monday at a Panago Pizza shop in the 3000 block of Immel Street. Two employees in the restaurant were approached by a hoodie-wearing man with a gun. No customers were on hand at the time.

Stave Lake favoured over other water options Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

As voters consider the City of Abbotsford’s referendum question on the Stave Lake water project, a common question is if there are other options. The city maintains that the Stave Lake source, pursued under a public-private partnership, is the most viable and cost-effective way to meet a growing need for water. Other water sources were examined, including Hayward Lake, Chilliwack Lake, Harrison Lake, Cannell Lake and even the Fraser River. According to the 2010 water master plan, several of these sources were viable alternatives based on water quality and quantity. In total, 19 scenarios involving six sources of water were examined. However, cost and public perception issues led AECOM Canada Ltd., the consulting firm that produced the plan, to recommend Stave Lake as the most viable option. “Hayward Lake was a concern because of a leachate incident a few years ago,” said Jim Gordon, the city’s general manager of engineering and regional utilities. Hayward Lake is located close to the Mission landfill and public concern over contamination, and a higher cost, made it unsuitable. There was similar concern with the Fraser River. “Would you drink water from the Fraser?” asked Gordon, adding that it is technically possible to treat the water; however, it was felt public perception would be difficult to overcome. According to AECOM’s report, the Fraser River

would also require a greater pumping intensity and a higher level of treatment. There were also concerns regarding the Fraser’s large watershed, which covers a majority of the Interior and the southwest portion of the province. “Given the geographic range of the Fraser River catchment, the potential for contamination from sewage outfalls or transportation mishap should be considered,” the report stated. Both Harrison and Chilliwack lakes were considered beyond the city’s scope due to the high cost of accessing water at those long distances. Gordon said the city would need to partner with Metro Vancouver to attempt such a large project. “I personally met with their engineers ... they said they had enough water for 75 years and didn’t need to partner with us.” While it did not go into a detailed cost analysis of all the options and various scenarios, the AECOM report estimated the cost to build a new supply and treatment centre at Harrison or Chilliwack lakes, along with the pipeline system needed to bring the water to Abbotsford’s reservoir, would cost between $110 to $150 million more than the Stave Lake option. According to figures in the report, Stave Lake water is 19 kilometres from the Maclure reservoir, compared to Chilliwack Lake (68 km) and Harrison (50 km). Expanding the existing Cannell Lake source was not considered to be a viable option because of its small size, and it is already close to capacity.

‘We need a break’ The man left the restaurant on foot, but MacDonald said a canvass of the neighbourhood indicated a suspicious vehicle had been spotted in the area. However, because it was Halloween, it wouldn’t have been unusual to see unknown vehicles in the neighbourhood, he said. MacDonald said police are in need of information that can help them track down the person or people involved. “We need a break. We need someone to give us some information.” Police released still images on Tuesday of video obtained from gas station robberies on Oct. 6 in the 5100 block of Riverside Road and Oct. 12 in the 1900 block of Sumas Way. In both cases, the culprit was wearing dark clothes and black sunglasses, and brandished a gun. Nobody had identified the suspect(s) as of press deadline. Meanwhile, the names have been released of two men who were arrested in connection with two previous bank robberies in Abbotsford. Joseph Pouliout, 25, and Trevor Yokubouskis, 29, are accused of committing simultaneous robberies on the afternoon of Sept. 24 at Coast Capital Savings and RBC Royal

TWELVE ROBBERIES IN TWO MONTHS

From A1

An unidentified suspect is caught on surveillance video as he robs a gas station on Riverside Road on Oct. 6. Bank in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way. Surrey RCMP nabbed the pair in Burnaby on Sept. 27 for a rash of robberies across the Lower Mainland. In addition to Abbotsford, they occurred in Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Surrey, White Rock, Langley, Chilliwack and the Okanagan.

Pouliout faces 14 robbery charges related to 13 bank robberies and one taxicab robbery. Yokubouskis faces eight robbery charges, all related to bank incidents. Anyone with information about the unsolved robberies in Abbotsford is asked to call local police at 604-859-5225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Abbotsford has recorded 12 business robberies since Sept. 4: T Sept. 4 and 6 – Subway in the 2600 block of McMillan Road, unsolved; T Sept. 21 – Subway in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way, unsolved; T Sept. 24 – Coast Capital Savings and RBC in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way, two suspects charged; T Sept. 28 – RBC in the 33700 block of South Fraser Way, one suspect charged; T Oct. 6 – gas station in the 5100 block of Riverside Rd., unsolved; T Oct. 12 – gas station in the 1900 block of Sumas Way, unsolved; T Oct. 18 – Subway in the 1900 block of McCallum Rd. and Best Western Bakerview Inn on Sumas Way, both unsolved; T Oct. 24 – Subway in the 32600 block of George Ferguson Way, unsolved; T Oct. 25 – Liquor Barn in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way, one suspect charged; and T Oct. 31 – Panago Pizza in the 3000 block of Immel Street, unsolved.

Two locals face riot charges Police say 60 suspects among first round of charges Jeff NAGEL Black Press

Two of the first batch of 60 suspects facing charges for their involvement in the June 15 Stanley Cup riot are from Abbotsford. Vancouver Police Department Chief Jim Chu said earlier this week that 163 charges are being recommended against 60 people. None has yet been named. Twenty-one alleged rioters are from Surrey, while 12 are from Vancouver, nine are from Burnaby and four are from Maple Ridge. Two each are from Abbotsford and Delta, while one each is from Richmond,

Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Langley, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Victoria, Courtenay, West Kelowna and Seattle. Rioters torched police cars and other vehicles and looted stores in downtown Vancouver after the Boston Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the Cup final. “The people who rampaged that night must be held accountable for their actions,” Chu said, calling it the “largest crime spree in the history of B.C.” Onlookers shot video and photos on cellphones and posted them on social media, fueling what has become a massive crowd-sourced

police investigation. The VPD has asked Crown counsel to charge all 60 initial suspects with participating in a riot, while many also face charges including mischief, assault or break and enter. “This is just the beginning as we expect to announce more arrests in the weeks and months ahead,” Chu said. Several hundred people could ultimately be prosecuted, he said. The VPD has been under fire in recent months because no suspects had yet been charged, despite the fact dozens of them had come forward and confessed.

Norrish expansion ‘temporary fix’ Chronic Pain not going away? Revamping the Norrish Creek system was also examined, even though it would not provide the city with redundancy. A different source ensures water supply in the event of something happening to Norrish Creek. (About eight years ago, heavy rainfall caused high turbidity in Norrish Creek and shut down the system for a short period.) An extra 40 million litres per day could be available from Norrish Creek. Drawing more water would require another permit and an environmental assessment, said Gordon. There were other considerations as well which represent “significant

hurdles,” and it would only less expensive than Stave provide a “temporary fix” Lake because “there is for the city’s future water no pumping involved in needs, he explained.

And the license “What I suggest is you is good to 140 MLD,” said have to re-look at all the Regts. viable options that they Operating costs at discussed in the master Norrish Creek will also be water plan.”

The Stave Lake project Abbotsford plans to construct a new $291-million water source and treatment centre at Stave Lake as a P3 project. The major undertaking would include up to $65 million in federal funding, with the city paying out private company financing of $95 million, and $54 million in a standard municipal loan, over the course of what would likely be a 25-year contract. The city has stated it expects to also

receive up to $51 million in provincial “grants and recoveries,” and use $30 million in water reserves by 2016. Combined with operating payments to the private partner, the city would be making payments of $13.8 million annually for the P3 deal. The total project cost is projected to be $345 million over a 25-year contract.

He said there are only five or six options that need to be reconsidered and wonders if the cost is more acceptable now, considering the Stave Lake option increased by almost $100 million as compared to the original estimate of $209 million. Given water use and city growth trends, the AECOM report estimated that Abbotsford could face water shortage problems by 2016. Postponing the Stave Lake project could mean federal funding of up to $65 million tied to a publicprivate partnership deal, may not be available in the future. Interest rates could also rise, hiking the eventual cost.

Caught in the middle

The public schools employer wants the B.C. Labour Relations Board to order teachers to write fall report cards, despite their job action, and ﬁne them as much as 15 per cent if they refuse. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association considers reports cards essential, as does the education minister. The education ministry previously advised schools that report cards must be issued as usual, even if they contain little information, because three written reports are required by law. If teachers refuse to prepare them, school administrators will have to do so, although that could prove difﬁcult if teachers are also refusing to communicate with them or attend staff meetings as part of their “teach only” action. So they could contain nothing more than attendance records. The teachers’ contract expired in June. Their union, the BCTF, has suggested there won’t be progress in contract talks

until the government lifts its net-zero mandate, allowing a pay increase that would bring B.C. salaries into line with those in Alberta and Ontario. Once again, students and parents are caught in the middle, with report cards being used as a bargaining chip. The employer claims that first reports in November provide early indications of how a student is doing and identifies those in need of extra help. And parents, as well as students, want to know what is going on, confirmation at least. But report cards are just pieces of paper. The information recorded on them is no doubt important, even vital to those hoping to pursue post-secondary education. And teachers are still recording that information, and will readily provide it to parents and students electronically, even over the phone. All you have to do is ask. – Black Press

Zalm joins Hydro conspiracy club Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views The smart meter installation van arrived on my street last week, as BC Hydro’s smart grid project heads toward the halfway mark. This system will not only detect outages, electricity loss and theft, it enables a voluntary time-of-use system where users can get a discount by shifting consumption to low-peak times. You could even set up wind or solar generation that the meter would record and subtract from your bill. But apparently no one wants to talk about that. Black Press papers continue to run letters with exaggerated or false claims that stoke baseless fear of radio waves. Where is this coming from? I’m grateful to the anonymous smart-meter foe who started sending me updates from “Citizens for Safe Technology,” a loose collection of U.S. and Canadian activists

that claims to include doctors, lawyers and other professionals. Not much is professional about the Canadian content on their website. A video starts with a juvenile union parody showing executives plotting to sell BC Hydro to General Electric. Then it moves to an apparently serious interview with Bill Vander Zalm, who expands on his earlier conspiracy theory about the harmonized sales tax being part of a European Union plot for world domination. Vander Zalm asserts that smart meters and appliances create such a powerful surveillance network, “they’ll even know what you’re cooking.” There are those who claim smart meters can tell what channel your TV is on, but this is the ﬁrst I’ve heard about them detecting whether you’re having eggs or oatmeal for breakfast. And who might “they” be? “The big picture is of course that we’re moving to globalization,” Vander Zalm intones. “Eventually we’ll be governed out of Brussels, Belgium or someplace like that. And this all ties into that. They can monitor what’s happening anywhere in the world. It’s Big Brother. We’ll be

totally controlled.” He stops just short of what I’ll call the Full Tinfoil, a belief that these radio waves control minds directly. (A surprising number of selfappointed smart meter experts sell measuring and “shielding” services.)

He stops just short of what I’ll call the Full Tinfoil, a belief that these radio waves control minds directly. A reader sent me a local newspaper commentary by Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall, basically a vague summary of NDP talking points about smart meters being too expensive and a possible health threat. This is interesting, because the City of Nelson owns its own power utility, which started installing wireless meters in 2004. They ﬁnished last year, with no protest.

I asked Mungall why. She was on the city council that chose a different model, a “drive-by” meter. They broadcast readings every 15 seconds and still need meter readers, who no longer have get out of their trucks. BC Hydro’s meters signal only three or four times a day, but one of the oftenrepeated false claims about them is that they secretly transmit much more often with some sort of damaging energy pulses. And yet these granola-loving West Kootenay folks cheerfully endure a 24/7 bombardment of what are essentially brief cell phone signals. Mungall said Nelson council speciﬁcally rejected a smart grid system, “because of the cost.” Somehow, retaining meter readers saves the city money. She noted that rural parts of her constituency are serviced by BC Hydro, and some people are very concerned. I’ll bet they are. Not just in West Kootenay, but a few other remote areas known for production of B.C.’s number one cash crop. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

letters

Opposed to tolling the Port Mann Bridge

I am writing this letter to express my concerns about the Liberal government’s plan to toll the new Port Mann Bridge. The minister of highways stated that tolling bridges and highways is happening in many jurisdictions across Canada and that it is an efficient way for travellers to pay for the construction of these projects. The only toll on Highway 1 in Canada is in the Maritime provinces and residents are unhappy as the toll fees are expensive and private toll companies are making a fortune. I thought that I should examine our government’s “bridge tolling” idea further. Both the federal and provincial gov-

ernments fund Hwy. 1 across Canada. In the Greater Vancouver area, Hwy. 1 provides the main access route for commuters who drive to work every day and trucking companies that ship goods and supplies. The new toll will be $3.25 per vehicle each way. For the average worker, the toll fee will cost $32.50 per week or $1,625 per year. Businesses will charge more for their products and vacation costs will rise for tourists. The tolling costs are going to be even more expensive for the residents of Maple Ridge and eastern municipalities. These commuters are now paying $2.90 to drive each way across the new

Golden Ears Bridge to connect with Hwy. 1. Their annual toll cost to drive to work now is $1,450. Combine this with the new toll on the Pt Mann Bridge and their annual cost is $3,075. TransLink, through its company, Quickpass, will collect the tolls for the Port Mann Bridge. These fees will go to pay for the new cameras, computers and maintenance of this larger bureaucracy. I wonder how much of the toll fees collected will actually go to pay the construction costs? The provincial government has a responsibility to build highways in this province. They also have a responsi-

bility to collect the appropriate taxes and efficiently apply the tax collected to pay the construction debt. Highways and bridges constructed in BC are funded by the provincial government treasury. Tolling the Port Mann Bridge is an inefficient way to pay for the construction costs and all B.C. residents should pay the construction costs from the provincial income tax. Encourage your friends and relatives to write to Christy Clark and the BC Liberals and tell them that we oppose tolling the Port Mann Bridge in 2013. Daniel Wight

Does this city have any good news?

The federal government has given Abbotsford $65 million to help pay for the Stave Lake project. That is just a drop in the bucket for what the final total of this water plan will be. Our MP Ed Fast thinks this is money just given to us for free? There is always a catch. This $65 million is still taxpayers’ money. If this P3 is such a good deal, where are all the businesses that want to be partners in this thing? Nobody has stepped up and the election is only

weeks away. My water bill is going to be double what I paid on the yearly taxes. Why is there such a big increase? Abbotsford city manager Frank Pizzuto says our average yearly water bill will go from $349 to $550 by 2016. Also, he said it would cost $100 million if we don’t approve the P3 plan. Enough with the scare tactics, does this city have any good news for a change, like no property tax increase this year, the

A voter’s wish list

Here are my concerns the candidates for Abbotsford council must promise to work on in order to get my vote: Vote no on the P3 question. Ensure left turn traffic lights are installed at South Fraser Way and Ware, Marshall at Ware, and Sumas Way and Lonzo. Get the left turn light at Sumas Way eastbound to Highway One lengthened to eliminate back-ups. Make the left turn light at Highway 11 and Harris Road longer so more than two cars get through at a time. Answer as to what the city is going to do to mitigate the ensuing traffic chaos at Bluejay and Cardinal when the new mall opens up. Already at drive times, vehicles back up unnecessarily. Clean up the so-called park ‘n rides and truck parking on Lonzo – what eyesores! Provide wheelchair access to the bus stop on the eastside of Lonzo – right now it’s dangerous. Pledge to work at getting good transit service to Abbotsford airport terminal. Reminder, close to 500,000 travellers go through yearly, and there’s no bus? So, if you promise to do your best at these issues, cross your heart and hope to be elected/re-elected, then you get my vote. There’s lots more, but this should keep you all busy enough. C. Shirritt

Abbotsford Heat team is moving, or the Plan A buildings have all been paid for? Enough with all the negative issues.

For another $200 million on to the total of this P3 plan we could put another new roof on Rogers Arena.

FVRD asked to partner in new children’s hospice

Robert FREEMAN Black Press

Nearly half the 428 children who have received ‘end of life’ care at the Canuck Place Children’s Hospice in Vancouver come from the Fraser Valley, a hospice official told the Fraser Valley Regional Board last week. Filomena Nalewajek, Canuck Place executive director, asked the FVRD board directors to consider becoming a partner in raising $13 million for an additional hospice in Abbotsford. She said the new 10-bed hospice will be located next to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital, on land donated by the city, and will form a “campus of care” with Abbotsford Hospice Society and Matthew’s House, a respite facility for children with severe disabilities. Hospice officials were alarmed when they

realized they were meeting only about 25 per cent of the demand for children’s palliative care in the province, Nalewajek said. “We’re calling on you to be a partner,” she told the FVRD board. “What we need is your help. We can only do what we do with the help of the communities.” Only 20 per cent of the existing hospice’s funding comes from the B.C. government, while the rest comes from community fundraising and corporate support, including the Vancouver Canucks. Nalewajek said 80 per cent of donations go directly to the cost of care, which averages about $1,484 per bed per day. The Canuck Place hospice opened in 1995 to provide specialized pediatric palliative care. The new hospice in Abbotsford will open in late 2013 or early 2014.

Book of kids’ photos released Revival Arts Studio hosts a red carpet photography book launch at The Reach Gallery Museum on Sunday, Nov. 6 from 2 to 3 p.m. Imagine features individual photographs of 138 local children taken this year. Each of them signed up to be photographed for this project and donated their session fee to Matthew’s House, a respite home for children with severe disabilities being built on the Campus of Care next to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Photographer Jason Brown said the project has been “amazing.” “It has been a privilege to meet and photograph so many children. Each one of them is unique and I aimed to bring out their individual beauty in each image.” All the children in the book have been invited to the book launch and will be given VIP treatment, Brown said. The book will be officially released following a brief presentation that includes speeches by Andrea Froese, co-founder of Matthew’s House, and Mayor George Peary, as well as a slideshow. The Reach is located at 32388 Veterans Way.

RCMP officers will be questioned on how it took until 2002 to catch Pickton, even though he was charged with attempting to murder a prostitute on his Port Coquitlam farm in 1997.

Pilots host first-place Richmond Heating up just in time to face dominant Sockeyes Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Pilots are rolling as they get set to face the PIJHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerhouse Richmond Sockeyes on Friday night. The local Junior B squad had two convincing weekend wins to improve their record to 9-2, which is tops in the Harold Brittain Conference. In those 11 games they scored 51 goals, and allowed a stingy 27 against. Impressive, but Richmond has been even more dominant. They lead the entire circuit with a perfect 11-0 record, and have racked up 76 goals while allowing a head shaking eight goals against. They started the season with six consecutive shutout victories.

They meet for the first time on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at MSA Arena. The Pilots are coming off a pair of weekend blowouts. Saturday they beat the North Vancouver Wolf Pack 5-1, as Dakota Schipper had a hat trick and added an assist for a fourpoint night. Adam Rossi and Luke Venema also scored, while goaltender Jordan Hospes made 23 of 24 saves for the win. Friday they crushed the Grandview Steelers 7-1, and this time it was Colton Cowden with the hat trick. Riley Lamb had three assists, and Schipper, Justin Dorey, Jarrett Martin and Kevin Lourens all scored. In net, Riley Parker stopped 26 of 27 shots.

JOHN MORROW / Abbotsford News

Abbotsford Pilot Kevin Lourens looks for a play from behind the goal line against the Grandview Steelers on Friday night at MSA Arena. Tomorrow night the Pilots meet the undefeated Richmond Sockeyes.

The University of the Fraser Valley Cascades womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball team is a perfect 6-0, having defeated the College of the Rockies Avalanche, 3-0 in PACWest action. The match was played at the Envision Athletic Centre, and the sets were 25-13, 25-18 and 25-17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonight was a solid team effort on both sides of the ball. From start to finish the ladies stuck to the game plan with a solid block to defend around and have an aggressive transition game to go after kills. Every player made an impact in the game, performing our complete team ability,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Dennis Bokenfohr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a fabulous start to our season with a 6-0 record, â&#x20AC;&#x153;added team captain Brittany Stewart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be exciting to see how we match up against VIU (Vancouver Island University) this coming weekend, who took second at nationals last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel that this is one of the strongest teams UFV has had in terms of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball; we have incredible depth with each person bringing a different element to the game.â&#x20AC;? Kayla Bruce, of Surrey, recorded six aces, six kills and two blocks. Kierra Noot, also of Surrey, in two sets had seven blocks and three kills. Jenna Evans, of Abbotsford, had one set of play, but recorded four kills, three aces and six digs. Q The UFV menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball team lost to the Avalanche, 3-2, to see their PACWest regular season record fall to 3-3. The sets were 25-19, 20-25, 25-15, 25-27 and 12-15. The Cascades were led by Victor Zych, Port Coquitlam, with 19 digs, Alec Dumerton, Abbotsford, with 15 kills and Trevor Nickel, Abbotsford, with five blocks. VIU is in Abbotsford to challenge the Cascades this weekend. Friday night the women play at 6 p.m. and the men at 7:45 p.m. Saturday the women start at 1 p.m. and the men at 2:45 p.m. All games are at the Envision Athletic Centre.

year, and are also members of the Yale Hockey Academy. Their coach there, Billy Wilms, said he was expecting big things from the trio – particularly Virtanen. He is a natural scorer who was drafted first overall in the Western Hockey League Bantam Draft by the Calgary Hitmen Virtanen had an immediate impact, scoring the gamewinning goal in overtime in the first game of the tourney against host Saskatchewan. It was the first of five goals for Virtanen. “He’s explosive, his top speed is scary, and he hurts goalies with just his wrist shot,” said Wilms. “He’s the total package. Revel and Skapski are both high energy players with great skating ability. Revel was taken second overall in the firstever BCHL affiliate draft, taken by Chilliwack, while Skapski was a fourth rounder in the WHL Bantam Draft, picked by Portland. Skapski excels on the forecheck, and creates turnovers for his linemates, and Revel is a gifted playmaker, said Wilms. In their second game B.C. lost 2-1 to the Alberta squad that would go on to take gold. Virtanen had B.C.’s only goal. Next they played Manitoba and lost 6-4, setting up the bronze medal matchup against Saskatchewan. They won 5-4. Wilms said they did Abbotsford Minor Hockey and the Yale Academy proud. Their impact “says a lot about his community as a hockey town.”

Cascades hoops teams both get national top-10 rankings

As the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades men’s and women’s basketball teams start the 201112 CIS campaign this weekend, they do so with national rankings. The men’s team is seventh in Canada and the women’s team is ninth. “It’s always exciting when your program does something that hasn’t been done in the past or recognized for in the past,” said women’s head coach Al Tuchscherer. “However, the reality is, this team hasn’t achieved anything yet this season, and this only confirms that we are in a very different place than last year with regards to perception. “We aren’t going to sneak up on anyone or surprise teams this season. It is essential

that we maintain our grit and hunger if we hope to be successful this year and build on what we have been trying to build for the past few years.” Men’s head coach Barnaby Craddock

echoed the comments that his team still has a lot to prove. “It’s nice to be recognized and it is probably credit to the depth of strong teams in the Canada West Conference,” said

Craddock. Both teams will be at Thompson Rivers University for games on Friday and Saturday. Their first Canada West home games will be Nov. 11 when they host Manitoba.

by Kobe Byrne of Abbotsford. Friday the Cascades played a great first half, scoring three goals in one half for the first time this season, and leading by two. In the second half, Alberta shut the door on UFV’s offence as they scored three unanswered goals to stay in the hunt for the Canada West title. The Cascades goals were scored by Jordan Tipton and Trent Mayer of Abbotsford, and Sasa Plavsic of Coquitlam. In women’s soccer, the UVic Vikes defeated UFV 2-1, ending the season for Abbotsford. UFV’s Canada West regular season record is 3-8-3 for 12 points and seventh place overall in the conference. Veteran captain Megan Webster, of Abbotsford, scored her team-leading fifth goal of the campaign in her final CIS match. “It’s been a frustrating season; however, if we can learn from our experiences this season we will be better for it in the future,” said head coach Rob Giesbrecht.
