Man accused of running down Abbotsford man still faces four other counts Dan FERGUSON Black Press
A charge of failing to remain at the scene of an accident has been dropped against Brent Parent, the 40-year-old Langley man on trial for allegedly running down and killing 21-year-old Silas O’Brien of Abbotsford on March 13, 2008. Crown prosecutor Donna Ballyk made the announcement as closing arguments in the road rage trial got underway Friday morning (Nov. 4) in a B.C. Supreme Court chamber in New Westminster. The prosecution, Ballyk said, “admits at the start that it has failed to prove [the charge] beyond a reasonable doubt.” The exact wording of the withdrawn criminal count refers to a person who “with intent to escape civil or criminal liability fails to stop the vehicle” at an accident scene. Defence lawyer Vincent Michaels suggested that the removal of what he described as a “hit-and-run” charge amounts to an admission by the prosecution that his client did not deliberately run down O’Brien. Michaels argued that the fatal collision occurred when Parent returned to the scene of the collision in the 25800 block of 16 Avenue in Langley when it was an “unusually dark night with no ambient lighting” and that when the enraged young men from the truck that had landed in the ditch charged at Parent, he drove away without realizing he’d hit one of them.

Abbotsford Police are reviewing the circumstances that led to an officer firing his gun at a truck being driven by a fleeing suspect Friday morning. Const. Ian MacDonald said the incident began at about 10 a.m. when a uniformed patrol officer was driving in the 3400 block of Juniper Crescent and recognized a man with whom Abbotsford Police have had numerous previous interactions. The man, 34-year-old Christopher Trethewey, does not live on that street, was near a grey Dodge pickup with a trailer attached that was filled with items. MacDonald said the officer pulled over to question Trethewey, got out of his vehicle and called the man’s name. Trethewey then got in
the truck and, as he was racing off-road on Eagle Mountain, away, the officer fired his gun. but the trailer was no longer “He shot at the vehicle and, attached.

Operation Tarnish, which included a series of posters about a criminal lifestyle, was part of Mike Novakowski’s award-winning effort. Superintendent of Schools, Crown counsel and Abbotsford Community Services to address the conflict. Over a period of many months, the intervention was successful in engaging the youth to focus on their educational goals, and put the conflict behind them. “Tur ner and Zawadsky’s proactive approach represents the highest form of service to youth in
the community of Abbotsford. Const. Turner and Const. Zawadsky are being honoured with the Wael T. Audi Youth Policing Award for their outstanding commitment to working with youth in their communities,” said a press release from the government caucus. The anti-gang message delivered by Sgt. Mike Novakowski has been highlighted in the past. After a series of gang-related
homicides in 2008 and 2009, he developed and implemented programs to promote positive life choices to youth, their parents and the community. These campaigns included a series of high profile posters, videos, radio commercials and school presentations to thousands of Abbotsford students from elementary school right through to secondary school. Novakowski also generated provincial anti-gang awareness through campaigns that involved speaking to more than 3,000 parents. He used a seized Hummer as a rolling crimeprevention billboard. Novakowksi was being honoured with the Kenneth M. Lemckert Community Policing Award for “exemplary leadership in the area of community policing.”

Road rage trial From A1
Four other charges against Parent remain, including criminal negligence causing death, dangerous driving causing death, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and failure to stop at an accident with a vehicle. The prosecution says that Parent became enraged while driving home with his brother late at night because he thought the truck O’Brien was riding in had deliberately flashed its high beams at him. Parent, according to the Crown, first deliberately drove his vehicle into the other truck and forced it off the road and into a ditch, then returned to the scene of the accident where he ran down O’Brien. Defence lawyer Michaels said the “fundamental” question is whether the prosecution has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that his client is guilty of the named offences.
File photo
Silas O’Brien, 21, was killed after being struck by a truck driven by Brent Parent in March 2008. Michaels said the two O’Brien friends who were in the truck with him, Sam Dooley and Luke Stephen, were not reliable witnesses. He noted that while Dooley and Stephen claimed they did not swear or make threats after their truck ended up in
the ditch, two eyewitnesses who spoke to the three young men shortly before Parent returned to the crash scene said the opposite, that the young men were obviously upset and angry and using the “F-word” and were making threats against the driver of the other truck.
Michaels said Dooley and Stephen have altered their testimony to throw as much blame as they can on his client “to minimize their fault and maximize Parent’s responsibility.” Michaels said that while his client acted in a “hotheaded and immature way” by deliberately tapping his brakes to obstruct them, the three young men contributed to the confrontation by charging at Parent’s pickup truck when he returned to see if anyone had been hurt. Michaels said the two young men exaggerated the first, accidental collision into a deliberate one and inflated Parent turning his truck toward them to illuminate the scene with his headlights into a deliberate swerve at them to make events “larger than life .... as inculpatory and inflammatory as possible.” The judge was expected to reserve his decision until a later date.
Occupy Fraser Valley? Movement to meet in Abbotsford Saturday Melissa WELSH Abbotsford News
The Occupy movement is coming to the Fraser Valley and will make its first appearance in Abbotsford this Saturday at noon outside the Clearbrook Library. Three organizational meetings have taken place recently in preparation for the demonstration that calls itself a grassroots campaign against corporate capitalism and financial inequality. And now, they are ready to move in. On Twitter, organizers have discussed whether to bring tents to the Abbotsford general assembly. Occupy first started on Wall Street in New York City, spread to Vancouver, and now the Fraser Valley. Occupy Maple Ridge had its first meeting at Memorial Peace Park on Nov. 6. “Currently, we are focusing on actions starting in Abbotsford, because we have a lot of Abbotsford members and supporters right
now,” said Rachel Murrell, spokesperson and organizer for Occupy Fraser Valley. Murrell, who is from Chilliwack, told Black Press the movement is not aimed at any particular party, but is focused on bringing people from all political backgrounds together to evaluate the current democratic makeup. “We can all agree there is a problem with the system, and it’s getting worse exponentially,” she said. According to Murrell, corporations wield too much influence over government, while the voice of the most vulnerable, the poor and the disabled, is being lost. The gap between the rich and the poor is only widening, with the middleclass disappearing. Corporate-owned stores are pushing out smaller businesses. The Occupy movement has recently come under attack, with the death of a protester last Saturday at the Vancouver’s Art Gallery grounds. The city is taking steps to remove the camp.

Virus reports reopen salmon inquiry Jeff NAGEL Black Press
The Cohen inquiry will hear more evidence in December to weigh reports that a deadly salmon virus has infected multiple species of wild salmon on the B.C. coast. The commission into the decline of Fraser River sockeye had ended hearings in September and began taking final submissions Friday. But commission counsel Brian Wallace said the inquiry will reconvene for two more days of testimony in mid-December. “Testing of samples of Pacific salmon from two areas of the province has indicated the possible presence of the Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA) virus in several Pacific salmon,� Wallace said. More results are expected within a month, he said, adding the inquiry has asked for the latest test results and information on the fish. The first reported detection of ISA in two sockeye smolts sampled along the central coast was disclosed by SFU researcher Rick Routledge in early October, after the inquiry stopped hearing witnesses, including experts on salmon diseases. Independent biologist and anti-fish farm activist Alexandra Morton said three more salmon taken from lower Fraser tributaries – a chinook, a coho and a chum – also tested positive for ISA virus. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is analyzing the samples and has not yet confirmed any of the positive tests.

Political realities
Elections are a great opportunity to explore fresh ideas about the way we’re going to move forward over the next few years. But as voters listen, they should keep three questions in mind: Do candidates truly understand the issues of the community? Do challengers have ideas to follow criticism? Are these ideas affordable What are the consequences of the change being promoted? The first one seems obvious. Except that in every election – federal, provincial and municipal – there are candidates who run on a single issue, although the jobs of elected officials involve myriad tasks and problems. So here’s a suggestion for candidates: Don’t just tell us what you’re against. Tell us what you are also for, and how you’re going to achieve it. Tell us what it’s going to cost and how it will be paid for. In other words, do your homework.
Do candidates also understand the limits of the office they’re seeking? Municipal governments and school boards are creatures of provincial legislation. Their powers are clearly defined. And although those powers continue to evolve, they remain limited. Vision and ideals are important, but they need to be grounded in reality. Which brings us to the third question: Are they practical? Candidates could promise to cut our tax burden in half, hire twice the number of police officers and firefighters, or cut the budgets of other departments. But they need to demonstrate the implications of these suggestions. A freeze on spending may mean reduced services (or the need for alternative sources of revenue) because of factors like inflation. Being a politician may appear easy – until you become one. – Black Press

Residents spooked by Plan A Re: Andrew Holota’s column, Nov. 4. Many Abbotsford residents are “spooked” by Plan A. Before that we were “spooked” by having been walked right to the brink of the near disaster we know as Sumas Energy 2 by the mayor and council of the day. It was the monumental effort from a few local heroes including Patricia Ross, not city hall, which stopped SE2. As many of us remember, SE2 reneged on its share of the cost of the sewer and we’re paying for that just as we are now subsidizing “our” money losing hockey team. There is at least one common denominator in these situations. Despite the generous compensation city hall pays to lawyers and consultants on our behalf, we emerge with a reasonable expectation that council may well walk us into yet another contract that protects the other party better than it does us. After all, how often do we see anyone on council with business acumen and experi-
ence comparable to that of negotiators for a multinational company? With a water project of this magnitude and complexity what reason is there to think council’s performance will be any more effective than it has in the past? While I’m not personally opposed to P3 arrangements, one way in which we are vulnerable is through the confidentiality a contractor argues is necessary to protect their bidding and business practises. Potentially, everything about the contract will be confidential and closed to us. However, protections afforded a contractor’s need for competitive advantage, real or exaggerated, is less a concern than the collateral protection mayor and council inherit from oversight of their errors and accountability by agreeing to confidentiality. Council claims long ago to have seen and been preparing for what they themselves call a now urgent and critical need for a new water source. Nevertheless, a priority was put on Plan A. Can anyone imagine Plan A surviving a referendum
today had this $300 million millstone been laid on our necks first? Not I! So, how are we to perceive them? Incompetent? They’re just so limited in foresight that mistakes happen? Ah well, learn and move on. Manipulative? It’s ingrained in human nature, we all need to keep ourselves accountable. Both? No surprise. But since we have a chance here to avoid a horrendous debt load it’s worth considering that our people at city hall are also just so limited in imagination that all they see is a big problem that simply has to have a big solution. Naturally enough a big solution can mean only one thing, throw big money at it, it’s always worked before. To answer Mr. Holota, a workable alternative to the debt enslavement this project will impose does exist. A no vote will merely force city hall to reflect on the interests of the Abbotsford taxpayer, possibly to reopen for business on our terms, not the simplistic spending habit they’re accustomed to. Gennie Adair
More celebration, not less With Halloween tucked away for another year we can all sit back and admire political correctness at work. No fireworks, no community celebration, just the ghost of Halloween wandering around wondering where everyone was. Where is the laughter in Abbotsford? Why the sound of silence? Vancouver continues to sell fireworks. Greenwich Village, New York, has a huge, televised three-hour parade and even the sleepy little town of Boulder, Colorado, closes off downtown Pearl Street and everyone comes out for a Halloween party. Being out of step with the times is what it is. Abbotsford should find every excuse it can to hold community celebrations, just for the excuse of being together – happy and laughing. At Halloween children going from door caught up in the moment gives us all that and more. What we need is more, not less celebration. Myron Neville

The signatory was the manager of the Norrish Creek water supply from 1992 to retirement in 2003. In part I agree with former Abbotsford city engineer Ed Regts. Expanding the present Norrish Creek system is the most economical, however as he stated, this does not solve the problem for future supply. We are about to expend $291 million to construct the
Stave Lake water source. The AECOM report estimated that Abbotsford could face water shortage problems by 2016. What is the estimated life of the Stave Lake source? For an additional $110 to $159 million we could develop the Harrison Lake source and have a reliable supply for 75 years plus. Did the city consider approaching Langley, Maple Ridge, Aldergrove, Rosedale,
Chilliwack or First Nations to partner on the Harrison source? Lastly, much has been said with regard to the $65 million we will receive from the federal government if the P3 is approved. The money is tax dollars, whether or not the source is federal, provincial or city, it is our money, it just comes from a different money pot! Allan C. Kraus

Police helicopter tracks down car thief
Vikki HOPES
Abbotsford News
The driver of a vehicle stolen in Abbotsford ran from police, but stopped when he realized the Air One helicopter was also tracking him. The incident took place
Wednesday, after a resident reported that his 1990 black Mazda pickup with white canopy had been stolen overnight from his driveway. A police officer spotted it about 40 minutes later in the area of Mt. Lehman Road and Automall Drive.
Const. Ian MacDonald said the officer followed the driver as he proceeded west on Highway 1 and took the 264 Street exit in Aldergrove. The car continued south on 264th, west on 56 Avenue and south on 256 Street, where the driver pulled over and began running across a rural property.
Meanwhile, the officer had contacted Air One for assistance. MacDonald said the car thief looked up and saw the police helicopter tracking him. “He looks at the officer now behind him, stops and puts his hands behind him (for arrest),” he said.
Brian Jason Scharft, 39, of Abbotsford has been charged with possession of stolen property. He has several previous convictions for stolen property and theft, as well as assault, mischief, fear of injury and breach of probation, according to the provincial court database.

An Abbotsford woman is the recipient of a national award from the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA). Marcia Foreman, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator, was presented Oct. 29 with the National Volunteer of the Year Award during a ceremony at the CDA’s annual general meeting in Toronto. The award recognizes individuals or group who have gone above and beyond in supporting the work of the CDA. Foreman said she was “deeply honoured” to be a recipient of the award. “It is my passion to support this world-renowned association which provides service, advocacy, education and research to those living with diabetes in Canada,” she said. Foreman acknowledged other CDA volunteers across the counFOREMAN try, saying, “Together, we are making a difference.” Foreman has volunteered extensively with the association for more than 10 years. She has raised more than $30,000 for the CDA’s kids’ camp, which helps children affected by diabetes learn important skills to manage their disease. She was also instrumental in developing an annual diabetes educational expo in Abbotsford, incorporating a World Diabetes Day component. This year’s event takes place Nov. 19 from 1-4 p.m. at Cascade Community Church (35190 DeLair Rd.) in Abbotsford.

The Abbotsford Police Department’s new Marijuana Enforcement Project (MEP) recorded its first bust on Thursday night. Police seized 844 plants – with an approximate value of $284,000 – in a warehouse in the 3000 block of McCallum Road. Nobody was in the facility at the time, and police are now using forensic evidence to determine who is involved. No other details were available. MEP was announced Thursday as a new initiative in which patrol officers – instead of only the drug enforcement unit – can investigate suspected marijuana grow operations. Police say grow-ops are linked to gangs and organized crime.

The former deputy city manager for Surrey, who previously worked for the City of Abbotsford, is suing the city for terminating him without cause last spring. Dan Bottrill filed a statement of claim in B.C. Supreme Court on Aug. 11 seeking damages from the City of Surrey for his dismissal. The City of Surrey sought someone for the position of deputy city manager in late 2007. Through a recruiter, the city “pursued” Bottrill, according to the statement of claim, “urging him to leave his employment with the District of Abbotsford” to work with Surrey. In its response to the statement of claim filed on Aug. 26, Surrey says it was Bottrill who was pursuing the city regarding the job. Bottrill also claims he was told by a senior

‘No Free Ride’ launched Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Abbotsford Police launched a new program Wednesday designed to reduce auto theft in the community. Operation No Free Ride was introduced as a partnership with Canadian Tire, which is promoting the sale of anti-theft devices and displaying signs about the program in the store and on shopping carts. Sgt. Mike Novakowski said that last year in Abbotsford, an average of 1.5 cars per day were stolen. The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) set a goal of reducing that number to one car per day. Currently, the number sits at 1.3 – a reduction of 11 per cent. Operation No Free Ride developed from there. “Our goal wasn’t quite being reached, and we wanted to improve awareness,� Novakowski said. Earlier this year, the APD offered free steering wheel locks to drivers of the top-three moststolen vehicles in Abbotsford: pre-2001 Honda Accords, Honda Civics and Jeep Cherokees. Later, pre-2002 Dodge trucks were added to the list. Operation No Free Ride expands to include everyone, although the anti-theft devices must be purchased. Teen drivers are also part of the program. Novakowski said each secondary school in Abbotsford will post information about the program and offer a draw for a prize package that includes an anti-theft device, a vehicle

Fireworks ban works
Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) says the city’s ban on fireworks is making a difference. Fire Chief Don Beer said fire crews responded to two small fires during the Indian Diwali celebration – held this year on Oct. 26 – and one during Halloween. Damage was estimated at $500. “This is an excellent improvement to public safety as a direct result of the ban of fireworks in the community,” he said. In 2003 – prior to the 2005 ban – crews responded to 27 incidents involving fireworks with damage totalling $54,000. In 2004, there were 10 fireworks-related incidents with damage of almost $26,000. He said people celebrating Diwali this year were mainly families lighting candles, sparklers and a few fireworks. Halloween participants were mainly teen and young men setting off fireworks and firecrackers on streets, parks and school grounds, Beer

Although the use of fireworks which produce a visual display has decreased, the use of firecrackers – which produce a loud bang – has not. Other Lower Mainland cities permit the sale of fireworks, enabling people from outside their boundaries to purchase the illegal items.
“It is impossible to eliminate their use within our community without a total ban throughout the Lower Mainland or province,” Beer said. The ban in Abbotsford prohibits the sale, possession and discharge of pyrotechnics, except in controlled situations – such as community events – to those who are granted a permit.

Exploring connection between relief work and peace The work of Mennonites locally and around the world has long been associated with peace. This association will be highlighted in a panel discussion at the University of the
Fraser Valley next week. Titled Engagement, it will focus on the question, “What is the connection between relief and development work, and peace?”
The event takes place tonight from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the main lecture theatre (B101) on the Abbotsford campus and will feature three experts who have been involved in relief and develop-
ment work in various regions around the world. Wayne Bremner, executive director of Mennonite Central Committee, B.C.; Garry Fehr, a UFV geography professor;
and Anita van Wyk, a UFV social, cultural and media studies professor, will be offering their views on the topic. Members of the audience will also be encouraged to join in
on what promises to be a spirited discussion on the international development work of Mennonites around the world, through which they help Mennonites and non-Mennonites

alike. “Mennonite relief and development work is widely known,” said Dr. Steven Schroeder, a UFV historian who is the coordinator of the new Mennonite Studies program at the university. “However, how this work fosters and sustains peace, on many levels, is largely overlooked. This event provides a forum for people with experience and expertise in relief and development work to draw the connections and implications of relief and development work, and peace.” The event is important for a number of reasons, said Schroeder. It will focus on how relief and development work are related to the root causes of political and social unrest, and contemporary concerns of war, and terrorism . In addition, the positive impact of the work by Mennonites in the Fraser Valley will be highlighted. Schroeder noted that Mennonite work often coincides with the work of other groups involved in social justice projects in the Fraser Valley, in areas such as poverty reduction, refugee settlement, and establishing affordable housing. Admission to the public panels is free and the public is welcome. Pay parking is in effect at UFV. For more information contact MennoniteStudies@ ufv.ca.

Oklahoma City rallies twice from two-goal deficits to sweep Abbotsford on home ice Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
The Oklahoma City Barons proved to be a slippery bunch, rallying from two-goal deficits on both Thursday and Saturday to sweep a two-game set with the Abbotsford Heat last week. On Thursday, the Heat took a 2-0 lead into the third period, but the Barons battled back for a 3-2 win, capped by Kevin Montgomery’s power-play goal with just 36 seconds left in the third period. On Saturday, Gilbert Brule’s powerplay goal at 2:53 of overtime lifted Oklahoma City to a 4-3 victory. With Heat defenceman Chris Breen banished to the penalty box for holding the stick, Brule – a former member of the Vancouver Giants – one-timed a feed from Ryan Keller past Heat goalie Joni Ortio. Brule’s OT tally enabled the Barons (8-2-0-1) to leapfrog Abbotsford (7-4-10) for second place in the AHL’s West Division. The Heat had raced out to a 2-0 lead on
Saturday, Ben Walter and Greg Nemisz scoring before the game was five minutes old. But the Barons battled back to even terms before the first period was over, thanks to goals from Philippe Cornet and Josh Green. In the middle frame, Green and Nemisz each notched their second of the game to round out the regulationtime scoring. Barons forward Linus Omark registered three assists, while Heat winger Krys Kolanos, with an assist on Walter’s goal, extended his point streak to five games since making his Heat debut last week. Ortio, making his first start of the season in place of workhorse Leland Irving, stopped 21 of 25 shots, while his OKC counterpart David LeNeveu turned aside 19 of 22. The Heat now embark on a sevengame road trip, their longest of the season, beginning Thursday against the Houston Aeros. All seven games are against West Division foes.

Heat forward Greg Nemisz scored into a yawning cage on Saturday after Oklahoma City goalie David LeNeveu made a puck-handling error in the first period. Nemisz’s goal gave the Heat a 2-0 lead, but the Barons rallied for a 4-3 OT win to complete a two-game sweep in Abbotsford.
Cascade hoopsters struggle vs. TRU Dan KINVIG
Abbotsford News
The University of the Fraser Valley basketball teams were accompanied by a lot of fanfare entering the 2011-12 regular season, but they hit a major speed bump on opening weekend against Thompson Rivers University. The Cascades men, ranked No. 7 in the CIS national poll to start the season, could only manage a split on the road in Kamloops – they
won Friday's opener 77-69, but fell 91-83 in Saturday's rematch. The UFV women came in ranked No. 9 nationally, but they were on the wrong end of a sweep, losing 68-64 on Friday and 65-59 in overtime on Saturday. "It felt like everything was in place, but we just faltered from our game plan," Cascades men's coach Barnaby Craddock said, referring to his team's Saturday loss, while aptly summing up the weekend
for both UFV teams. The men's loss on Saturday was particularly galling – the Cascades led by 17 points at halftime and by as many as 21 in the third quarter, only to watch the WolfPack roar back to win. TRU shot a scorching 68.8 per cent from the field in the second half, led by Justin King, who finished with 32 points and 10 rebounds.
Clothes that work.
Sam Freeman led UFV with 22 points. "They were really playing well, and we obviously stopped doing what gave us success for the first six quarters of the weekend, which was playing defence with intensity and playing as a unit at the offensive end," Craddock said. The Cascades women suffered from apocalyptically poor shooting – they hit
just 30.4 per cent of their attempts from the field on Friday, and cratered to 21.9 per cent Saturday. "We could probably shoot better blindfolded, to be honest with you," UFV coach Al Tuchscherer grimly noted. "Our finish wasn't there, and it was baffling.” The Cascades struggled to contain WolfPack centre Diane Schuetze – she went for 24 points and 10 rebounds in Friday's win, and 20 points and 19 boards
on Saturday. Nicole Wierks, with 19 points and 10 rebounds, was UFV's best player Friday, and her sister Sarah posted a team-high 12 points and 15 boards Saturday. Q The UFV basketball teams host their home openers at the Envision Athletic Centre this weekend. The Manitoba Bisons are in town Friday (women 6 p.m., men 8 p.m.), and the Winnipeg Wesmen are the guests Saturday (women 5 p.m., men 7 p.m.).

Weekend split for Pilots
a 1-0 lead early in the first, but Richmond responded with five unanswered goals. On Saturday at Sungod Arena, Adam Rossi scored at 3:17 of the extra session to lift the Pilots (103-0) to a 2-1 win over the North Delta Devils. Matthew Genovese scored the other Abby goal, while JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News Jordan Hospes made 31 saves. Jarrett Martin of the Pilots protects the puck against Richmond.
The Abbotsford Pilots were unable to slow the league-leading Richmond Sockeyes, but they bounced back with an overtime victory on the road. On Friday, the Pilots fell 5-1 at MSA Arena to the seemingly untouchable Sockeyes, who improved to 14-0-0 on the season. Dakota Schipper gave the Pilots

SKYACTIV meets Zoom Zoom
2012 Mazda 3 SKYACTIV Price:
$18,995
Engine: 2.0L 4 cylinder Transmission: 6spd manual or 6spd double clutch automatic Power: 155 Hp What’s Best: One of the best gasoline engines for efficiency available today.
SEE PAGE 27
“SkyActiv is designed to improve the efficiency and sustainability of new Mazda generation vehicles,” Mazda chief executive Kenichiro Saruwatari told Canadian automotive journalists in a poolside cabana room of the famed Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard during the launch program. “The elements of SkyActiv include engines, transmissions, body and chassis.” For 2012, just the engine and transmission SkyActiv elements are being brought to market, with the Mazda3 the first production model to serve as a real-life test bed of the technologies.
Test Drive the ALL NEW 2012 MAZDA3 SKYACTIV The SKYACTIV-G engine and SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission, when paired in a Mazda3 sedan, will deliver 4.9L / 100km highway numbers that our customers have been asking for. But those numbers are different from other companies numbers, because ours will include Zoom-Zoom – we do not ask our customers to choose between efficiency and fun to drive, we do not install rock-hard tires that take away steering feel and challenge ride and handling, and we do not believe in transmissions that are always two gears too high.

Roadrunners top Panthers in first-place showdown Dan KINVIG
Abbotsford News
“We needed to play better on defence, and that’s been an issue for us all year,� Hansen coach Paul Gill noted. “We’re losing those battles in the trenches we need to win.� MOUAT 15, EARL MARRIOTT 0 The Hawks (4-1) won by forfeit, as Marriott’s football program folded a couple weeks ago due to lack of players. Q All four of Abbotsford’s high school football teams advance to the playoffs at B.C. Place this weekend. For brief previews of each game, visit abbynews.com.
Dallas Yassinsky (81) and Gurtaj Bhangu (85) of the Abby Collegiate Panthers wrap up Mission Roadrunners running back Jesse Forcier on Friday at Mission Secondary. Both teams were 3-0 in Eastern Conference play coming in, and the Roadrunners clinched first place with a 39-6 win. JASON ROESSLE Black Press

In the aftermath of the 39-6 thumping his team absorbed at the hands of the Mission Roadrunners on Friday, Abbotsford Collegiate head coach Jay Fujimura termed it a “disappointing� defeat. But at the same time, the Panthers bench boss acknowledged the fact his team was in position to play for first place on the last day of the regular season was a big deal for a still-developing program in just its fourth year of AA high school football. “We knew going in we were going to have to play mistake-free ball, and unfortunately we didn’t,� Fujimura said. “But it was great playing for the conference championship in our fourth year. We’re pretty pumped about that.� Both teams came in with perfect 3-0 records in Eastern Conference play, but the Roadrunners, ranked No. 2 provincially, have been considered a bona fide contender for the B.C. title since the first day of the season. They proved to be full value for that ranking, rolling up 382 rushing yards behind a dominant performance from the offensive line.
Running backs Jesse Forcier and Brenden Atkinson rushed for two TDs apiece to pace the offence. Dallas Yassinsky’s TD reception from Carter Williams accounted for all the Panthers’ points. BATEMAN 28, HANSEN 6 The Robert Bateman Timberwolves were a healthier bunch last week, and subsequently racked up some healthy rushing totals against their crosstown rivals from Rick Hansen Secondary. Running backs Freddy Lyhne and John Beckerleg returned from injury to ignite the Bateman ground attack – Lyhne, in particular, had a big game, rushing for 101 yards and two TDs on 12 carries. QB Ryan Kaethler and Harley Loewen also ran for majors for the T-Wolves (2-2), who locked up third place in the AA East. “We executed fairly well,� T-Wolves coach Rick MacDonald said. “The score could have been bigger, but we fumbled a couple times in the red zone.� The lone TD for the Hurricanes (1-3) came on a 60-yard pass from Jeevin Uppal to Sukh Dhaliwal, who finished with 150 receiving yards.

Abbotsford’s elite men’s rugby side ran into a buzzsaw on Saturday, dropping a 45-15 decision to the defending champion Oak Bay Castaway Wanderers in their CDI Premier League opener. Abbotsford led 5-0 in the early going at Exhibition Park, but a series of costly mistakes saw the Castaway Wanderers notch four quick tries for a 33-5 halftime lead. In the second half, the Abby squad found its footing and held Oak Bay to just 12 points, while recording two tries of their own. Darwin Guevara, Lucas De Beer and Gareth Bartlett scored the Abbotsford tries. “We started out really well with a lot of possession, but then we made a couple key mistakes with some unforced errors and they capitalized on them,” said Abby head coach Jason Young, whose team’s next Premier League game is Nov. 19 at UVic.

UFV topples top-ranked Mariners The University of the Fraser Valley women’s volleyball team confirmed its elite status on Friday evening, knocking off the No. 1-ranked team in Canada, the Vancouver Island University Mariners. The Cascades started slowly, dropping the first set 25-15. But UFV came back to take three of the next four, capped by a 15-12 win in the decisive fifth set. Jenna Evans (17 kills) and Krista Hogewoning (16 kills) led the attack. The Mariners bounced back to win Saturday’s rematch in four sets, but that loss did little to take the shine off a memorable victory for UFV. “It was a good win against a very good team,� noted UFV
