Local women describe an ‘eerie’ Paris after attacks Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

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 always 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 group’s 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 Continued on A5

In the days after Friday’s terrorist attacks, Parisians and tourists alike gathered to pay their respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Michelle Sagert photo Triomphe.

Reconsider refugee timeline, urges Fast Tyler OLSEN and Laura RODGERS Abbotsford News

Terrorist attacks in Paris last Friday shouldn’t change Canadian attitudes or policies towards those fleeing violence in Syria or elsewhere, 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 conflict in a number of Middle Eastern countries, resulting in widespread destruction, death and displacement of civilian populations. Five of the nine attackers had been identified as of press time. All five had previously visited Syria and were of French nationality. Another man is believed to have travelled on a fake Syrian passport. But the attacks have prompted some to call for the government to scale back its efforts to resettle those affected by the refugee crisis, many of whom have come from countries where ISIS is active – including Syria and Iraq. During the election, the Liberal government had pledged to bring 25,000 refugees into Canada by the end of the year. Details of that initiative were still being worked out when terrorists 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 resettlement of refugees in Canada, although Ontario and Quebec say they are still on board. Bremner, though, said it

would be a “rather tragic sit- seeking to escape the very uation” if security concerns tyranny and violence perpecaused Canada to back away trated in France.” Sidhu wrote that he from efforts to help refugees. “It’s really unfortunate that couldn’t comment on how the actions of a very small many refugees may be number of people would heading to the Abbotsford cause large concern regard- area. “We have no idea of ing the Syrian population as the numbers B.C. may be expecting,” he wrote, adding a whole,” he said. Bremner noted that the at- that the government will be tacks in Paris are a symptom in touch with premiers and of the very same type of mayors. “We have a team of minfighting that has displaced two-thirds of Syrians and isters currently working on caused many to seek refuge a plan to bring the refugees to Canada responsiin Europe.

B.C. Premier Christy Clark said Monday that while there are legitimate security concerns, many refugees are fleeing the same type of violence 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 community organization’s manager of settlement services, says they’re taking an inventory of what they have and what they need. Currently, one of the settlement workers speaks Arabic, and there is also a translator program the group can tap into. A number of local churches, as well as some local residents, have offered spare space for temporary housing, And they’re planning a meeting on Nov. 30 with immigrants from areas near Syria and local service providers, to chart out the next steps. “The majority of our clients are immigrants, not refugees,” said Lo. “We hope to be ready.” With Premier Clark urging incoming refugees to consider areas beyond the dense, housing-starved Vancouver core, it’s likely some will choose Abbotsford, especially given the city’s strong network of charitable and community services for immigrants from groups like ACS and MCC. Lo recently attended a Vancouver symposium on how to help Syrian refugees, 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 different, every culture is different,” she said.

THE LEGENDARY BACARDI RUM is this weeks feature! When the Bacardi’s left Cuba they lost everything but the recipe for making the world’s most awarded Rum. The secret to blending BACARDI has been passed on from generation to generation held only by the Maestros de Ron BACARDI. It’s their passion that makes BACARDI RUM taste the same today, as it did over 150 years ago. Untamable since 1862.

Family with dry well given five years to pay for city water connection

QUALITY

Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford family whose well ran dry last month will be given five years to pay the full cost of connection to the city water system. The Pickett family property, in the Clearbrook Road area, relied on a nine-metre-deep well dug in 1928 to provide water for Leah and Chris Pickett and their five children. When it ran dry, they blamed the city’s group of 39-metre wells in the nearby Bevan area for lowering the water table. However, a city-commissioned consultant’s report says the Bevan wells didn’t contribute to this, and instead overall dry conditions over the summer and the shallowness of the Pickett’s well caused the loss of water. “Operation of the Bevan wells has not caused the low water conditions that have been reported at the [Picketts’] well,” wrote Piteau Associates Engineering Ltd., a hydrogeological consulting firm.

They plan to live there until their house in Abbotsford has running water again. Council also recommended for staff to write a payment plan policy, so others experiencing financial hardship can have the option of paying off water connection over time. Coun. Sandy Blue said the policy should have a clear bar for financial hardship, so people don’t use it just to get out of paying bills. Coun. Ross Siemens said he was unhappy the family jumped to the conclusion of blaming the city for their dry well in the first place. “It gives the city a bit of a black eye,” he said. And Coun. Moe Gill added that the new policy should have a clear definition where it does and doesn’t apply. The Picketts have city water pipes running right up to their property line, but Gill was concerned an unclear policy could be used for highly expensive connections to far-flung rural dwellings.

Parisians ‘sombre, but not defeated’ From A1

I don’t have the words, only the feeling, to describe it.” Dirksen said the sirens were continuous over much of the next 48 hours, and that police and military personnel were walking in groups and standing on many corners. “The city of light and love is not feeling so good in this moment ... You could see the heartache in Marie’s face for the upset of her city, the fear in Sebastian’s eyes, the innocence in Marta trying to get home, and the brave front Jorge put on,” Dirksen said of her dinner companions. Although Dirksen had planned on staying until the end of the month, she has now cut her trip short and planned to arrive back in Mission on Wednesday. ■■■ Just 30 minutes after Dirksen’s table was learning about the attacks, Michelle Sagert arrived in Paris on a Eurostar train. Sagert and her best friend, who both grew up in Abbotsford and now live in London, walked towards their rental apartment. They heard sirens, but otherwise nothing seemed too out of place. Only when they got to their apartment did they learn what had taken place. Sagert and her friend cancelled their plans to visit the Eiffel Tower that night

and instead stayed in. Sagert, who had been to Paris twice before, said people were still going about their lives the next morning. “The mood was sombre but not defeated,” she said in an email. “Every Parisian we came across, we told them we were sorry for what had happened to their city and they all had the same response: It was awful, but Paris was their city and they weren’t going to stay inside out of fear.” As Sagert and her companion toured the city, she said they felt safe due to the presence of armed police and military. On Monday, Sagert and her friend went to the Arc de Triomphe, where people were paying respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Some were in tears, while others sung the national anthem. “We did feel a bit gauche going to tourist attractions and smiling for photos,” Sagert wrote. “But we tried to be respectful of the people mourning and simultaneously we didn’t want to stay inside out of fear. We carried on with our trip as usual. Maybe we picked up on the Parisian energy?” She continued: “Paris is an amazing city and the people who live there could not have been kinder to us, even in a time when they needed compassion shown to them.”

CER CERTIFIED

■■■ Carissa Youssef first learned of the attacks as she arrived in Paris Saturday morning to a clogged airport. Youssef had just wrapped up a couple weeks of work in Uganda, and had taken a quick flight from Amsterdam to Paris to meet a friend. But the city the Abbotsford resident arrived to Saturday morning was very different from the one she expected. Security was high at the airport, and the name of each passenger was cleared through a computer, a process that took many hours. “It was a bit of a wild arrival,” she said. Once in the city, Youssef said she felt safe, but like Dirksen, described the atmosphere as “really eerie.” “I had never been to Paris before, but my girlfriend kept shaking her head, saying ‘This is so strange.’” Walking to her friend’s apartment, a bicyclist passed, tears streaming down his face. Shopkeepers were also crying. “It was just a really solemn, sad place.” Youssef was set to leave Monday morning, but with a curfew in place and transportation still spotty, she opted to stay at the airport, which had a massive military presence. “It was just a real tense environment.”

Restaurant owner says homeless camp is affecting his business Equipment recently stolen from outside Essendene location Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford restaurateur says a nearby homeless camp is affecting his business. Joe Paliotti, who own’s Paliotti’s Italian Restaurant, says he has had to hire a parking attendant to ensure customers are comfortable leaving their cars in the lot that sits between his business and a homeless camp erected in September in a vacant lot. Paliotti’s restaurant and the camp share a small triangular block bordered by Gladys Avenue, Cyril Street and Essendene Avenue in downtown Abbotsford. The camp is an outgrowth of the protest encampment that has taken over the opposite side of Gladys Avenue. He says the camp has posed several challeng-

A homeless camp on Gladys Avenue recently expanded to an empty lot next to Paliotti’s restaurant. es since it was established. “Not only is it the visuals, but you smell it in the air,” he said. There have also been noises that have disturbed customers. “It’s constantly one thing or another.”

Paliotti feels the city is trying to help those in the camp, but said those living on the lot don’t want shelter. “In Canada, nobody should be on our streets, and the city is trying to get them off the street,” he said.

Paliotti said he also recently had a $6,000 char-broiler that was being repaired stolen from his lot. “My mistake,” he said. “I left it out there and thought, who’s going to steal it?” He speculates it was

stolen for the scrap metal value. The camp was erected in mid-September by activists unhappy when a park site was shut down by the city. The property is partially owned by the Abbotsford District Teachers’ Association and the city, with the city-owned portions covered in uneven mounds of gravel. The city said in September that it wouldn’t remove campers from the site because it was considered an extention of the Gladys Avenue protest camp. Since then, the B.C. Supreme Court has ruled that the homeless have a right to camp overnight on city-owned land, but must take shelters down during the day. -with files from Laura Rodgers

Tuesday’s high winds resulted in a tree falling across Dawson Road, where it blocked traffic until it could be cleared. VIKKI HOPES Abbotsford News

Wind storm leaves 6,000 without power Power outages caused by strong winds in Abbotsford on Tuesday affected more than 6,000 customers at the peak of the storm. The outages were caused mainly by trees falling on power lines. In one case, the winds resulted in a tree falling across Dawson Road, west of Sumas Mountain Road, blocking traffic in both directions until it could be cleared. Power was restored to most homes in Abbotsford before 11:30 a.m., including the biggest area, which affected about 4,200 customers north of Hawthorne Avenue, east of Emerson Street, west of Beck Road and South of Arcadian Way. Environment Canada had issued a wind warning on Tuesday for Abbotsford and Chilliwack, and gusts of 60 to 80 km/h were recorded throughout the day.

Trumping fear-mongering The concern about a likely fake Syrian passport found near the body of an ISIS assailant in Paris has prompted more than a dozen U.S. governors to state they won’t accept Syrian refugees. Even in Canada, at least one premier is calling on the federal government to suspend plans to resettle 25,000 refugees by the end of the year because of security concerns. Thankfully, here in BC., saner heads are prevailing. As the province where the family of drowned Syrian toddler Alan Kurdi lives, it’s good to see that humanitarian aims trump fear-mongering. It was not fake passports that kept the young Kurdi’s family from reaching Canada but a lack of documentation, a situation that has thankfully been resolved with Canadian recognition of Syrians living in refugee camps. The truth is the federal government’s 25,000 resettlement project is really an aspirational goal. It is unlikely many

people can be relocated here by the end of 2015, even with the best of intentions. Canada will continue to do security checks, as it always has, and the flow of refugees will require significant processing, as they always do, and this takes time. For example, the latest report from Immigrant Services Society of BC puts forth a five-phase process for screening refugees, with information gathered overseas and here in Canada. And depending on individual circumstances, the first Syrian refugees to arrive under this humanitarian operation are not expected until early December. Once here, there are groups working with refugees, including community services, churches, other relief and charity organizations, as well as volunteer programs. Are there issues associated with accepting thousands of refugees, such as housing and services? Yes. Are they solvable? Certainly.

Fear ourselves more than terrorism Andrew

Holota

On Point Look into their eyes. See the despair. Gaze at their faces. Read the misery and fear. Talk to them. Hear their countless stories of the loss of family members, homes, and entire lifestyles. When you’ve done that, then tell Syrian and Iraqi refugees, “Stay away, you’re not welcome in Canada.” Tell them that they’re not fleeing terror, but attempting to import it here. Oh, but that’s the great thing about directing national policy on refugees via social media. None of the above is required. All that’s needed is an appallingly misinformed, or selfish, tunnel-visioned view of the world, and the short time it takes to spew it onto Facebook or a website. Some of the public dialogue in this country

surrounding the Syrian refugee debate, particularly in the wake of the horror in Paris, turns my stomach almost as much as the terror attacks themselves. I refer to the near-hysteria and fear-mongering about importing ISIS terrorism via the Liberals’ pre-election promise to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by year’s end. Let’s consider some actual facts: This is not a plan to take 25,000 people off the bloody battlefields of Syria, or pluck them out of Mediterranean waters, and fly them directly into Canada – although some people talk like that’s what is going to happen. There are literally millions of people sitting in vast camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Germany and elsewhere, waiting – some for years – for somewhere, anywhere, to go. Many have registered with the UN, and all can be screened. They are women, and children – and yes, men – who are desperate to start a new life, free of constant fear and destruction and slaughter. If the pitiful refugees I met covering Canadian relief efforts in Jordan and Lebanon just two years ago were hard-core terrorists, just waiting for an opportunity to come to Canada to wreak havoc, they were the best

actors on the planet ... thousands of them. Let me suggest something that I consider far more frightening than a bunch of people carrying their children on their shoulders, and their worldly possessions in plastic bags. And that’s the virtual certainty that ISIS

Be most afraid, though, of a country that turns away from its history as a generous, compassionate nation or terrorists of their ilk are already here. They came here long ago, and are waiting for the signal to launch their attacks in our cities. Or, they are homegrown Canadian citizens who signed on to the fundamentalist insanity of their own volition. Just as worrisome, if not more, are the yet-to-be jihadis – the ones ISIS and al-Qaeda can reach via the Internet. The same social media and websites that give the “build-a-wall-and-lock-us-in” types

the means to rant beyond their coffee cups also provide the conduit through which terrorism flows across borders and past all the security checks in the world. If you must be afraid, fear that. Also be afraid that terrorism will achieve one of its objectives – to cultivate paranoia and hatred around the world, because that spawns more recruits. Be most afraid, though, of a country that turns away from its history as a generous, compassionate nation, to one that is seized by fear itself, which tramples on a global vision, and turns inward to a self-serving, self-protectionist agenda. That won’t happen, though. And we will not leave our own behind, as some suggest. Governments spend billions helping citizens who need assistance. Can more be done? Of course. Can we afford it? Of course. It is a matter of political will and planning. Canada has done so for generations which, never forget, are composed of millions of immigrants, and refugees, of myriad nationalities and many beliefs. Before we utter words like stay away, we must remember who we are and how we got here.

An Abbotsford man was scheduled to undergo brain surgery yesterday (Tuesday) in Los Angeles with hopes of stopping the blinding headaches that have plagued him for the past 20 years. Tom Kettering and his wife Christina are hoping that a $250,000 procedure will be life-changing. To this end, they have sold their business interests and heavy equipment, put their home up for sale and taken out a major bank loan. They have also been supported by donations of almost $40,000 to a crowdfunding website in Tom’s name. The surgery is not funded by the Canadian medical plan, and there isn’t a neurosurgeon in

sometimes his face going numb and slurring” have become more than anyone can cope with. “Tom has suffered with migraines for most of his life but they have become increasingly worse over the past 10 years and are now daily and completely debilitating,” said Christina. “Tom says all the time that he feels he is living a slow death. The constant pain has taken away any quality of life possible and there are many days that the thought of not living at all would be easier than him having to live with this pain. So for us, as frustrating as it is that our medical system will not cover the cost of surgery, not getting it done is just not an option. There is too much life left to live to watch Tom suffer like this anymore. “So surgery is booked for November and we will just have to deal with the financial consequences of it as best we can. I would do and give up everything to see him healthy and happy again,” said Christina. For the past six years the couple have tried different therapies and clinics, including the Mayo Clinic, without success. “Thousands and thousands of dollars were spent on naturopath, chiro, massage, acupuncture, botox, hyperbaric chamber treatments, myofascial release

treatments, trigger point injections … You name it, we tried it,” said Christina. Further research by the couple led them to a Calgary university student, Kristina Waldmann, who suffered identical symptoms as Tom does, but has found the answer. “I was in pain all the time, severe headaches all the time, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, visual problems. I had to stop going to school, to work, to my volunteer position,” she told CBC News recently. After four years of trying to go through the Canadian system, her parents re-mortgaged their home and held fundraisers to pay for the procedure in the U.S. Waldmann’s surgery was done at a Texas hospital in March. “As soon as I woke up, the visual symptoms were gone. Months later, I have my life back,” she says. Armed with this information, Tom and Christina explored their options and found that there were only two neurosurgeons in the U.S. who enter the skull and remove the cysts. And their success rate is high. More than a dozen Canadians have had this procedure performed and all of them no longer suffer from the symptoms. “We have no other choice,” said Christina. “We had to raise the money to do this; how

could we not try?” B.C.’s Ministry of Health will cover the cost of the surgery — in or out of the country — but only if it is recommended by a Canadian neurosurgeon. However, Kettering never saw a neurosurgeon. He had to wait two years to see a neurologist and has not been able to get an appointment to see a neurosurgeon. Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas visited the couple on Thursday and said he would try to make a case for coverage by the B.C. Medical Services Plan in Victoria, but could make no promises. “I appreciate that he’s going to go to bat for us,” said Christina. Dr. Hrayr Shahinian was scheduled to perform Kettering’s surgery yesterday (Nov. 17) in Los Angeles at the Mission Community Hospital. A study recently published in the medical journal of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons found more than a year after surgery, 94 per cent of patients who had this kind of cyst were either pain-free or had an improvement in their symptoms.

A suspect in three robberies that occurred last Tuesday within 10 hours has been arrested by the Abbotsford Police Department. Adam John Taylor, 27, was arrested Thursday at 4:45 p.m. and has been charged with three counts of robbery and one count of assault with a weapon. The three robberies took place Nov. 10 at 2:15 p.m. at a business in the 2600 block of Gladys Avenue, at 4:30 p.m. at a restaurant in the 31200 block of Maclure Road and that evening at a restaurant in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way. In one of the incidents, the suspect deployed some bear spray. The suspect was caught on video, and identification was assisted because of a distinctive tattoo on the back of the man’s neck.

Afghanistan vet fights for life

Royal City Youth Ballet Company Society proudly presents, for the 27th season, the full length ballet, the Nutcracker.

The longest running Nutcracker ballet performance in Canada!

John Lowe struck by car in Langley Monique TAMMINGA

Don’t miss your opportunity to see this unique show that delights audiences of all ages.

Black Press

A 29-year-old Abbotsford man who survived the battlefields of Afghanistan is now in hospital fighting for his life after being hit by a pickup truck on 232 Street in Langley last Thursday evening. Just before 5 p.m., newlywed John Lowe was on his way to visit his grandmother in Langley in his old pickup truck – a vehicle that was a replacement for his other old Dodge, which had recently been stolen. The truck doesn’t have a working gas gauge, so Lowe unwittingly ran out of gas while taking the 232 Street exit. There was a torrential downpour at the time. According to the GoFundMe page “John Lowe’s Recovery Fund,” he phoned his dad, Ray, who said he would pick up a gas can and meet him at the truck. When his dad arrived, there was no one in the truck, but he did see a large contingent of emergency vehicles and lights flashing closer to the Chevron gas station.

John Lowe with his wife Natascha on their wedding day. Submitted photo According to Langley RCMP, it appears Lowe was walking to the gas station when he was struck crossing the road. He was hit by a onetonne GMC Sierra truck travelling north on 232 at 72 Avenue. The driver of the truck stopped immediately and tried to help. Lowe suffered multiple injuries, including internal bleeding, two fractures in his left arm, several broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and kidney, and a bruised aorta. He also suffered a concussion.

critical but stable condition. He is unable to have visitors at this time. In just two days, more than $6,700 has been raised for the young couple who “don’t have a big income stream.” Lowe is a member of, and advocate for, Wounded Warriors of Canada and has spoken out publicly about his own experience with post-traumatic stress disorder and about the culture of silence that exists in the military surrounding the condition. In 2013 and 2014, he completed the veterans’ Big Bike Ride from Paris to London, raising $4,000 for Wounded Warriors. His efforts were featured in the Cloverdale Reporter last year. He was born and raised there and recently moved to Abbotsford. Lowe and his mother, Shere, were part of a fundraiser for Wounded Warriors, put on by the Langley Rotary Club last fall. Police are urging anyone who witnessed Thursday’s crash to call them. Anyone with information is asked to call RCMP at 604-532-3200.

A cyclist injured in a collision with a vehicle on Saturday morning in Abbotsford will likely be issued tickets under the Motor Vehicle Act. Abbotsford Police Const. Paul Walker said police are recommending that the 39-year-old woman be ticketed for failing to wear a helmet and for failing to signal for a left-hand turn. The incident occurred just after 6 a.m. in the area of South Fraser Way and Montrose Avenue. Walker said both the woman and the driver of a pickup truck were heading east along South Fraser Way when it appears that the cyclist veered in front of the driver to make a left turn on to Montrose. The woman was taken to hospital with leg injuries. The driver remained on the scene and has co-operated with police. Const. Paul Walker cautioned pedestrians, cyclists and drivers to be extra vigilant at this time of year, when darkness, wet roads and the pooling of water heighten the risk of accidents. “We continue to stress the importance of being visible on the roadways – from wearing reflective gear as a cyclist, to flashing lights on your bicycle,” he said. Walker reminds drivers to use extra caution when approaching intersections and crosswalks and to “prepare for the unknown.” “Prepare for the pedestrian to cross the road or to share the road with a cyclist,” he said.

Your favourite Christmas melodies brought to life again this year. The story of Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; birth, the experience of Mary and a message of hope!

Incident occurred on Remembrance Day As thousands were paying tribute to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s war dead at Remembrance Day services in Abbotsford and beyond, police say a thief was stealing a poppy box at a local business. Abbotsford Police Const. Paul Walker said police received a call of a theft in progress from a gas station at the corner of Sumas Way and Marshall Road around 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Footage from the gas station shows a Caucasian man in his 20s, wearing a red and white jacket and black toque, entering a gas station and, when the attendant wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look-

ing, stealing a poppy box. Walker said the act showed the thief was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;selfless, heartless individual who lacks respect.â&#x20AC;? It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only theft of a poppy donation box. On Nov. 8 at 12:30 a.m., another one was stolen from a business in the 32700 block of George Ferguson Way. The suspect was described as Caucasian and in his 20s. He wore black pants, a white hoodie and a blue toque. Anyone with information about the crimes is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604859-5225, or by text at 222973 (abbypd).

Please get your free ticket at Silver Hills Bakery, Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Music, House of James or online at www.fountainofmusic.ca Bring a donation for the food bank and expect a night of wonderful music! Fountainview Academy has recently released a new DVD â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â God So Loved the World: Winter.Â This small school has been training students to sing and play for the glory of God for the past 37 years.Â With emphasis on music, each student is a part of the orchestra, choir, or both, and spends time practicing and nearly every day.

The school also has a vigorous work program, in which students gain practical experience in cooking, cleaning, arranging music, editing videos, and tending the orchards and large carrot farm, which produces approximately 1 million pounds of carrots per year. Â Fountainviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sÂ Orchestra & SingersÂ have traveled across the continent

and around the world. During one Christmas concert last year, a student emcee asked those in the audience to write down prayer or information requests on a small card. As one man left the concert, he handed his card to one of the students in the lobby, and the student felt pressed to read the card. It read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m struggling financially, my

family is falling apart. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live like this anymore.â&#x20AC;? Immediately the student turned around and ran in the direction the man had gone, calling him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is there anything I can pray with you about before you leave?â&#x20AC;? she asked. Like a dam bursting, he voiced his long-held silent trials. Â His real question was: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why would God care about me?â&#x20AC;?

Â As the season of Christmas draws near, come and be blessed by your favourite carols, folk tunes and familiar melodies.

May your heart be filled with the joyful Christmas spirit!

Three people were rescued Saturday night after becoming lost on Sumas Mountain. Just before 5 p.m. Central Fraser Valley Search and Rescue was called out to help locate three missing hikers who had become disoriented as darkness fell. A staging area was established in the Batt Road area. Through a cellphone, the hikers were able to give searchers their rough coordinates. They had been walking in the Chadsey Lake area on the upper south side of the mountain. Searchers reached the three just after 6 p.m. and by 7:30 they were safely back at the search base camp – wet and cold, but OK. Search officials remind people heading outdoors to plan for early darkness, and cold, wet weather. Wear or carry appropriate clothing, and have a flashlight and other basic supplies should the unexpected occur.

Dairy plant allegedly discharged harmful substance Saputo to stand trial in Sept. 2016 Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A dairy company has been charged with violating the Federal Fisheries Act at its plant in Abbotsford. Saputo Foods Ltd. has locations around the world, including a plant on Riverside Road in Abbotsford that distributes products under the Dairyland label. The local plant now faces six charges of â&#x20AC;&#x153;depositing a deleterious (harmful) substance.â&#x20AC;? The c h a rg e s first came up in Abbotsford provincial court on Nov. 2, but were laid on June 2. The investigation was conducted by Environment Canada and goes to trial next September. S p o k e s p e ro n Natalie Huneault said she could not reveal any of the circumstances behind the charges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the matter is still before the courts, it would be inappropriate to provide further comment at this time,â&#x20AC;? she said. A spokesperson for Saputo also said she could not comment, due to the charges being before the courts. The matter has been set for trial on Sept. 19, 2016. Saputoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website states it is the the largest cheese manufacturer in Canada.

Widening gap between detached houses, condos Jeff NAGEL Black Press

New real estate forecasts predict Lower Mainland housing prices will continue their ascent to new highs over the next two years. Central 1 Credit Union projects resale median residential prices of Greater Vancouver homes will climb 6.1 per cent in 2016 and 3.8 per cent in 2017. Senior economist Bryan Yu says detached houses are becoming “luxury” real estate as “prices that far outpace income affordability fundamentals” increasingly put them out of reach of large portions of the population. He estimates detached house prices will continue to run up faster – 10 per cent in 2016 and 6.6 per cent in 2017. Although there may be “some froth” in detached house prices, Yu expects the growing price gap between houses and condos – now at a record $525,000 in Metro – will continue to widen. That widening price gap will be “difficult if not impossible to bridge” for prospective new buyers and recent condo owners and will effectively be the new norm. “In previous years, the housing ladder meant starting in a condo and transitioning to a detached home,” Yu said. “That will no longer be the trend. For most families, the housing ladder will lead from one multi-family unit to another.” Increasingly scarce land is a reality of the region’s geography that’s hemmed in by the ocean, mountains, U.S. border and the Agricultural Land Reserve, he said. His report says the trend of double-digit price gains shows little sign of stopping given a severe shortage of inventory in Metro Vancouver and limited land availability for low-density construction. “Price momentum has also spilled into the neighbouring Fraser Valley area,” Yu said. Continued record low interest rates and economic and job growth will continue to drive sales and further price momentum in Greater Vancouver through 2016, he added. The B.C. Real Estate Association (BCREA) projects the Greater Vancouver market will see a 4.5 per cent increase in the average selling price for a residential home to $925,000 in 2016. That average, which blends condos, townhomes and detached houses all together, is expected to reach $885,000 in 2015, up

8.9 per cent from $812,652 in 2014. In the Fraser Valley, the average residential price is projected to have climbed 9.7 per cent to $568,000 this year, up from about $518,000 in 2014, and it’s projected to gain four per cent to $591,000 in 2016. Chilliwack and district prices are estimated by BCREA to be up 6.9 per cent to $330,000 and projected to gain 1.2 per cent in 2016 to $334,000. Many consumers have been forced to alter their housing expectations, especially near the urban core, the BCREA report says. It notes City of Vancouver detached houses make up just five per cent of the total housing stock in Metro Vancouver and those house prices should not be used as a benchmark for affordability in the region. And the report argues many detached houses are really in effect duplexes, triplexes or fourplexes “as a result of the exploding number of accessory suites.”

Teach online safety, experts say Black Press

Instruction to protect children from “cyberbullying” should be included in B.C.’s new school curriculum, according to a new report from the province’s independent child welfare and privacy officers. The B.C. government’s school anti-bullying program was put in place in June 2012. Four months later, 15-year-old Amanda Todd posted a video of her online treatment before she killed herself at her Port Coquitlam home, putting an international face on the dangers faced by young people socializing online. In 2013, Nova Scotia teen Rehtaeh Parsons was also driven to suicide after explicit pictures of her were circulated on social media. Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond and Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham surveyed the laws and strategies in place inside and outside B.C. since then. “The circumstances leading to the deaths of these two young women highlight the significant pain and suffering young people can endure when they are faced with repeated cruel treatment by their peers through online means,” Denham and TurpelLafond concluded. Their report, presented Friday to the B.C. government, calls for more measures in schools in addition to the ERASE (Expect Respect And a Safe Education) strategy put in place in 2012. That strategy provides for anonymous reporting by students or parents of bullying, either online or in person. The report calls for the education ministry to “ensure that developmentally appropriate learning ob-

jectives about cyberbullying and digital citizenship be included in the provincial school curriculum and delivered to all school-age children as soon as possible.” Education Minister Mike Bernier said Friday the new school curriculum, which began implementation this fall, already includes “a focus on bullying behaviour and discrimination starting in Grade 4.” Bernier said in a statement the ministry has developed resources for teachers, with course objectives for different grades “about cyberbullying, internet safety, privacy and security, relationships and communication.” Denham and Turpel-Lafond cite research showing that 99 per cent of young people have online access outside of school, and that by Grade 11, more than half sleep with their phones nearby so they can exchange messages at night. They caution against parental efforts to monitor young people’s communications around the clock, or to cut off their access.

The Rotary Club of Abbotsford recently presented the Abbotsford Food Bank with a cheque for $33,268 in support of the Starfish Pack Program. The club has been working with the Abbotsford Community Services Food Bank to help feed hungry children and families since the spring of 2013. The Starfish program was designed to bridge existing in-school breakfast and lunch programs with the absence of food for the students over weekends. As a result of Abbotsford Rotary’s leadership and innovation, many other B.C. communities have implemented the Starfish Pack Program. National media attention on the program has resulted in inquiries from outside B.C. as other communities search for ways to address local child hunger. This program has inspired the Abbotsford community to get involved and has over 50 local businesses, service clubs and faith groups involved. A full list of community partners can be found at starfishpack.com/abbotsford-partners During the presentation, Jaslyne Sunday, a local third-year Pacific Summit College student, was introduced. She is being funded by the Abbotsford Rotary Club as the first “Starfish Intern.” The pilot project created in partnership with the Abbotsford Food Bank will see the Rotary Club provide funds for three years to local post-secondary students studying in the areas of social service and non-profit management and opportunity to assist and learn from the Starfish Pack Program while earning academic credits. Donors and volunteers are still required to meet the need locally. To donate, get involved or support the Starfish Pack Program, visit starfishpack.com.

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 they’re 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 you’d like more specifics for your situation just give me a call or send me a text or email.

ABBOTSFORD 2016 BC SUMMER GAMES

Rise above. Reach beyond.

JULY 21-24

Summer Games Leaders Rally 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 first 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 office 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. ~ Stan Petersen

That number represents 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 communities where the organization offers its free safe ride service, citizens mobilize themselves to volunteer one night or more during the holiday season in order to help make their community safer while helping raise funds for local youth programs. Last year, $1.5 million was raised in client donations, and turned over to youth or amateur sports organizations.

CBC men fall to Island teams Women split opening homestand, men lose two Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News

The CBC Bearcats men’s 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 quarter, 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 team’s effort. “I felt pretty good about it but we definitely got some cold shooting in the second 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 quarter 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 turnovers 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 competitive if we’re just handing them layups.” 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 couldn’t get back into the game. The Bearcats were out-rebounded 41-25 by Camosun. Davis had anoth-

er strong game, with 15 points, seven assists 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 weekend for the women’s 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. Threepoint 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.

The 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 winner at 4:50 of overtime to give the Pilots the two points. Also scoring for the Pilots were: Devon Becker, Dryden Michaud and Jackson

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 defence 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’ running game was too much for Mouat. “It was a pretty frustrating game and we didn’t seem to catch any breaks,” said Mouat head coach Travis Bell. “It was a physical game and we were in it but we didn’t 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, despite Notre Dame’s record of one win and four losses, he knew it would be a tough game. “They play in a different conference than us and you can’t 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 capitalized.” It was Bell’s first year behind the bench for the Hawks, and he said he will always remember the graduating players. “I’ll 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 program proud.” Running b a ck Pellerin and wide receiver Elijah Falconer were also named to the AAA East AllConference team for their efforts during the regular season. “Those guys both bought into the pro-

gram and it paid dividends for them,” he said. “I couldn’t be happier for them.” He said the potential is there for several graduating Hawks players to continue playing football next year at the post-secondary level, with some possibly earning scholarships. Bell said the pieces are there next year to have a strong run. “There are a lot of pieces here and we’re 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 postseason.-

The UFV Cascades men’s 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 rebounds. The Cascades had a four-point lead at the half, and took over in the third quarter by outscoring MacEwan 24-14. The bench contributed with 31 points overall. The clubs met again on Saturday, and UFV’s offence was on full display. The Cascades shot 49 per cent and outscored the Griffins 97-56. A balanced attack saw five players reach

UFV’s Kayli Sartori eyes a jumper during Canada West JOHN MORROW Abbotsford News action on Saturday. double digits, and head coach Adam Friesen said his team stepped up in the absence of starters Johnson and Nate Brown. “It started with leadership from our core guys … recognizing that hey, life just got a little bit tougher due to injury,” 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 rebounds and two blocks. The Cascades also out-rebounded the Griffins 50-35, and committed only eight turnovers. UFV is now 4-0 and are tied for first place in the Explorer division with the TWU Spartans. The women’s team earned a split, beating the Griffins 72-61 on Friday, but falling 63-59 on Saturday. Defence was key to Friday’s 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 adding 18 points and eight rebounds. Sydney Williams (12) and Taylor Claggett (11) also reached double digits. “I’m proud of the girls for how they executed the game plan,” said head coach Al Tuchscherer after Friday’s win. “They got gritty on at the defensive end of the floor and played hard, and played offence how we wanted to play.” Saturday’s 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 double-double, with 24 points and 11 rebounds, 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 remainder of the calendar year, starting on Friday when they travel to Prince George for a pair of games against the UNBC Timberwolves.

HILL Jonathan Calvert July 27, 1951 ~ November 9, 2015 BC Cancer Foundation 32900 Marshall Road Abbotsford, BC V2S 0C2 604.851.4736 bccancerfoundation.com

CODE Helen (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-inlaw, Gordie, her granddaughter, Kris (Jason), her great-grandchildren, Melissa, Duncan, and Adam, and her great-greatgranddaughter, 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 ﬁrst 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 Bachelor’s and Master’s 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, ﬁnancial 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 public 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

It is with an extremely heavy heart, we announce the passing of our most beloved husband and father, Jonathan Hill. His sudden and untimely departure has left us broken hearted. We are grieving, but not without hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. He is pre-deceased by his parents Calvert Hill, 1961 and Joan Rothman, 2013. Jonathan is survived by his beloved wife Shirley (Remple) of 35 years, son David, his sister Sylvia Tkalitch (Chicago), his much loved in-laws; Leonard and Judy Remple, John and Jill (Remple) Enns, Daniel Remple, nephews and niece, family and many friends. The Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 am, November 20, 2015 at Northview Community Church, 32040 Downes Road, Abbotsford, BC V4X 1X5. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations may be given “In Memory of Jonathan Hill”, Power to Change, 20385 – 64th Avenue, Langley, BC V2Y 1N5. Envelopes provided at the service. Casual attire preferred – that’s the way Jonathan liked it. Online condolences to the family may be made to:
