2015
Megan Dirksen was out for dinner with friends Friday evening in
a Paris restaurant when a new acquaintance, a local named Marie,
checked her phone and brought her hands up to her face.
Hours earlier, Marie had told Dirksen a Mission resident who had
come to the city for a month-long vacation that Paris never gets
old.
No matter how long you are here, you al-ways discover something
new, she said
Now Dirksen looked on with concern, as Marie learned that her
beloved city had come under attack by men bearing suicide vests and
AK-47s.
Soon the phones of Marie and the rest of those at the groups
tables lit up as family members sought to get in touch and learn
their loved ones were safe.
The group soon broke up and outside the restaurant, Dirksen and
her friend were able to get a taxi with the help of their tour
guide.
As we waited, the city was at the deadest calm I have ever felt.

Terrorist attacks in Paris last Friday shouldnt change Canadian
attitudes or pol-icies towards those fleeing violence in Syria or
else-where, says Wayne Bremner, executive director of the
Abbotsford-based Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) BC, which has
already helped nearly a dozen churches apply to sponsor
refugees.
Although much is still unknown about those who planned and
carried out the bombings and shootings that killed 129 people, the
attacks are believed to be linked to the Islamic State (ISIS),
which is engaged in bloody con-flict in a number of Middle Eastern
countries, resulting in widespread destruction, death and
displacement of civilian populations.
Five of the nine attack-ers had been identified as of press
time. All five had previously visited Syria and were of French
nationali-ty. Another man is believed to have travelled on a fake
Syrian passport. But the at-tacks have prompted some to call for
the government to scale back its efforts to reset-tle those
affected by the ref-ugee crisis, many of whom have come from
countries where ISIS is active includ-ing Syria and Iraq.
During the election, the Liberal government had pledged to bring
25,000 refu-gees into Canada by the end of the year. Details of
that initiative were still being worked out when terror-ists struck
Paris. This week, the Conservative Premier of Saskatchewan Brad
Wall called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to suspend his plan to
speed up the re-settlement of refugees in Canada, although Ontario
and Quebec say they are still on board.
Bremner, though, said it
would be a rather tragic sit-uation if security concerns caused
Canada to back away from efforts to help refugees.
Its really unfortunate that the actions of a very small number
of people would cause large concern regard-ing the Syrian
population as a whole, he said.
Bremner noted that the at-tacks in Paris are a symptom of the
very same type of fighting that has displaced two-thirds of Syrians
and caused many to seek refuge in Europe. Bremner said screening
pro-tocols need to be followed, but that Canadians shouldnt be
afraid of those seeking to come here.
Theres a good process in place, said Bremner, who noted that
refugees are screened by national se-curity agencies.
The MCCs Abbotsford-based B.C. headquarters has already helped
11 Mennonite churches apply to sponsor refugee families. Around
half of those church-es are located in Abbotsford. Dozens more
churches have inquired about help-ing to sponsor refu-gees.
Weve had an unprecedented re-sponse, Bremner said.
Jati Sidhu, the Miss ion-Matsqui -Fraser Canyon Liberal MP, was
not available for an interview but provided an email
state-ment.
The Paris attacks are a tragedy, and remind us that we must be
vigilant against those who would use terror to threaten both our
lives and freedom, the response read. That vigilance will be well
in place when we offer our help to those refugees
seeking to escape the very tyranny and violence perpe-trated in
France.
Sidhu wrote that he couldnt comment on how many refugees may be
heading to the Abbotsford area. We have no idea of the numbers B.C.
may be ex-pecting, he wrote, adding that the government will be in
touch with premiers and mayors.
We have a team of min-isters currently working on a plan to
bring the refugees
to Canada responsi-bly, effectively, and in a secure way, Sidhu
wrote.
H o w e v e r , A b b o t s f o r d Conservative MP Ed Fast says
the govern-ment should re-ex-amine its timeline objectives in
reset-tling refugees here.
Fast told The News that Trudeau should reconsider timelines for
bringing refu-gees to Canada.
The Paris attacks are shocking and I believe it gives Canada
pause to re-
flect on how fragile global security really is, Fast said
Monday.
Canada is not im-mune to this insidi-ous force.
Fast said the gov-ernment needs to make security of Canadians
its prior-ity, but he said refu-gee resettlement can
still take place.Its always a balance be-
tween compassion and our national security interests, but those
are not mutual-ly exclusive objectives, Fast said. Our party will
sup-port efforts to provide a safe home for the most vulnera-ble
people in Syria and Iraq, but were also demanding that all refugees
will be properly screened to ensure that Canada remains safe.
B.C. Premier Christy Clark said Monday that while there are
legitimate security concerns, many refugees are fleeing the same
type of vi-olence inflicted on Parisians last week.
Abbotsford Community Services is also gearing up to serve an
expected influx of refugees settling in the Abbotsford area.
Donna Lo, the communi-ty organizations manager of settlement
services, says theyre taking an inventory of what they have and
what they need.
Currently, one of the settle-ment workers speaks Arabic, and
there is also a translator program the group can tap into.
A number of local church-es, as well as some local residents,
have offered spare space for temporary hous-ing, And theyre
planning a meeting on Nov. 30 with immigrants from areas near Syria
and local service pro-viders, to chart out the next steps.
The majority of our cli-ents are immigrants, not refugees, said
Lo. We hope to be ready.
With Premier Clark urg-ing incoming refugees to consider areas
beyond the dense, housing-starved Vancouver core, its like-ly some
will choose Abbotsford, especially given the citys strong network
of charitable and communi-ty services for immigrants from groups
like ACS and MCC.
Lo recently attended a Vancouver symposium on how to help Syrian
refu-gees, from the Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and
Service Agencies of B.C. She said cultural literacy will be a big
component of their coming work.
Every country is differ-ent, every culture is differ-ent, she
said.

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

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

Soles Defining Souls, is a result of the sur-vey and is filled with
quotes from the various women.

The Reach Gallery Museum (32388 Veterans Way) and on Saturday, Nov.
28 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at House of James (2743 Emerson St.).
Illustrations are by Abbotsford artist Alisha Deddens.

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

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

Operation Red Nose kicked off its 20th annual campaign in
Abbotsford on Friday.
Peter Fassbender, the
Minister Responsible for TransLink; ICBC program manag-er Aileen
Shibata; Abbotsford acting mayor Coun. Patricia Ross; MLA
Darryl
Plecas; Operation Red Nose executive direc-tor Guylaine Beaupr;
and Rudy the Reindeer all made appearanc-es during the event at
Sevenoaks shopping centre.
From Nov. 27 to Dec. 31, more than 50,000 citizens hit the road
to help provide peo-ple with an addi-
tional option to get home safe and avoid drinking and driving.
Abbotsford is one of 13 communities in B.C. to receive the
service.
The 2015 campaign also marks an import-ant chapter in the
his-tory of Operation Red Nose, since the orga-nization will reach
the milestone of two mil-
lion rides on Nov. 28.That number rep-
resents the number of Canadians who have made the responsible
decision to plan a safe ride by calling upon the Operation Red Nose
service to get home safe.
We know how much this program helps to keep our roads safe
during the holidays, Shbata said.
In each of the com-munities where the organization offers its
free safe ride ser-vice, citizens mobilize themselves to volun-teer
one night or more during the holiday season in order to help make
their communi-ty safer while helping raise funds for local youth
programs.
Last year, $1.5 mil-lion was raised in cli-ent donations, and
turned over to youth or amateur sports or-ganizations.

Panthers post big playoff win
The Abbotsford Panthers are the last local team left stand-ing
after round one of the BC high school football playoffs.
The Panthers beat the Pitt Meadows Marauders 57-8, in a game
that was decided very early.
R u n n i n g back Richard T s h i m p a k a scored his first of
three touchdowns to open the scoring and the Panthers had a 29-0
lead by the second quar-ter.
Also re-c o r d i n g touchdowns were: Chase C l a y p o o l , A
n t h o n y P h a n , Manny Jhally, Reese Morrison and Tanner
Marquardt. Claypool also took some reps at quarterback, throw-ing
two touchdowns. Regular starting quar-terback John Madigan also
threw for a pair of scores.
Panthers head coach Jay Fujimura said his team took
care of business.We did what we
were expected to do, he said. We had an all-around good start
and were able to run the ball well. We wanted to work on our ground
game and try out a few new packages, and every-
thing went according to plan.
Fujimura said it has been a great ride for the team and this
years graduating class.
This class has worked hard and have been togeth-er since Grade
9, he said. And its quite a group.
He pointed out that the Panthers received several year-end AA
division awards in-cluding: Claypool (most valuable play-er) ,
Tshimpaka (top running back), Michael Sabourin (top linebacker),
Morrison (top defensive back),
M a d i g a n (top quarter-back), James Parker (top kicker), and
Clifford Jesse (top offen-sive lines-man).
T h e P a n t h e r s now head to Nanaimo this week-end to
bat-tle the John B a r s b y B u l l d o g s , who dis-posed of the
Moscrop P a n t h e r s 77-0 on
Saturday. Fujimura said it will be a battle.
Its going to be a tough game, he said. Theyre a bigger team and
they grind. Its going to be close.
The Bulldogs posted a 4-0 record during the regular season, and
only allowed 27

CBC men fall to Island teamsWomen split opening homestand, men
lose two
The CBC Bearcats mens basketball team drew even with the
top-ranked club in the country early in the third quarter on
Saturday, but it all fell apart from there.
The VIU Mariners shut the door in the third and fourth quar-ter,
outscoring CBC by 14 to earn a 94-75 win in Abbotsford on
Saturday.
Despite the loss, Bearcats head coach Matthew Boulton said he
liked his teams ef-fort.
I felt pretty good about it but we defi-nitely got some cold
shooting in the sec-ond half, he said. Obviously our size is an
issue, but the big one for us today was the 29 points they got off
of our turnovers. I feel like we were the cause of our own
loss.
After a slow start to the game, the Bearcats caught fire in the
second quar-ter and outscored the Mariners 26-19. CBC guard Kevin
Davis was two assists away from a triple-double, with 17 points, 13
rebounds and eight assists. Si Woo Youn added 16 points, with
Elijah Calhoun and Jamie Konrad contributing 13 points apiece.
Boulton said the 20 turnovers are what killed the Bearcats
momentum.
They changed up their defence in the second half and were
pressing us a bit, he said. We had 11 turn-overs in the second half
and not good turnovers. Some were at centre court where they could
just run in lay-ups. It makes it difficult to stay com-petitive if
were just handing them lay-ups.
The Bearcats also lost to the Camosun Chargers 81-60 on Friday.
CBC fell apart in the second half, shooting just 25 per cent.
Boulton said the team got into foul trouble, and couldnt get back
into the game. The Bearcats were out-rebounded 41-25 by
Camosun.
Davis had anoth-
er strong game, with 15 points, seven as-sists and six steals.
Umbori Watson added 14 points, and Jamie Konrad scored 11.
The loss drops CBC to a record of one win and four losses, and
they sit in sixth place in the Pacwest.
It was a better week-end for the womens team, as they split the
pair of games against the Island teams.
CBC rode a 26-16 first quarter to a 69-58 win over Camosun on
Friday. Guard Mandy Van Delden led the way with 21 points, four
rebounds and four steals. The Bearcats also got big games from
Harvina Kaler (16 points, seven rebounds and seven steals) and
Sarah Rozendal (13 points and six rebounds).
A cold third quar-
ter then sunk the Bearcats on Saturday, as they only managed
seven points, and fell 80-49 to the Mariners.
VIU shot 48 per cent from the field in the second half to secure
the win, while the Bearcats only shot 28 per cent for the game.
Deanna Esau had a strong game for CBC, with 14 points and nine
rebounds. Three-point shooting was off for Bearcats, with the team
only making five of 29 for the game.
The women sit in fifth place in the Pacwest, with a record of
two wins and three losses.
The teams continue the home stand this week, with Douglas
College coming to Abbotsford on Friday and Capilano on
Saturday.
Tip-off for the games is 6 p.m. for the women and 8 p.m. for the
men on Friday, and 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Pilots earn overtime winThe Abbotsford
Pilots almost let one slip away on Friday, but saved the game in
overtime against the Ridge Meadows Flames.
Abbotsford saw a third-period two-goal lead vanish, as the
Flames came back from a 4-2 deficit to send the game to overtime
with just over a minute left in the final frame.
Cole Methorst then potted the game win-ner at 4:50 of overtime
to give the Pilots the two points.
Also scoring for the Pilots were: Devon Becker, Dryden Michaud
and Jackson
Waniek (two). Methorst (four), Michaud (three), Waniek and
Becker all had multi-point nights for the Pilots.
Goalie Jacob Crawford made 40 saves in the win, and neither team
connected on a power play goal.
Abbotsford travelled
to North Vancouver on Saturday to play the Wolf Pack, and came
up short against the defending Pacific Junior Hockey League
cham-pions.
The Pilots fell 3-0, and only managed to muster 16 shots. After
a scoreless first peri-
od, North Vancouver added goals early in the second and third
periods, before scoring an empty netter in the games final minutes.
Abbotsford was zero for five on the power play, but Crawford was
solid in the loss, making 24 saves.
The pair of games keeps the Pilots en-trenched in second place
in the Harold Brittain conference, with a record of 13 wins, seven
losses and one overtime loss.
Abbotsford next hits the road on Thursday to face the Langley
Knights, and then host the Wolf Pack on Friday. Face-off is set for
7:30 p.m at the MSA Arena.

points all year.In AAA action,
Friday was the end of the line for the W.J. Mouat Hawks. They
fell 28-6 to the Notre Dame Jugglers at home and are done for
2015.
The Hawks defence kept the game close in the first half, as
Mouat only trailed 13-0. Notre Dame had threatened to score majors
on two drives, but the Hawks de-fence forced them to settle for
field goals.
The offence came to life in the second half when Elijah Falconer
caught a touchdown. but the Jugglers run-ning game was too much for
Mouat.
It was a pret-ty frustrating game and we didnt seem to catch any
breaks, said Mouat head coach Travis Bell. It was a physical game
and we were in it but we didnt capitalize on our opportunities.
This was our most physical game our defence has played all year, we
knew they were going to run the ball, but I was happy with our
physicality.
Bell said that, de-spite Notre Dames record of one win and four
losses, he knew it would be a tough game.
They play in a dif-ferent conference than us and you cant really
go by records. We were expecting to win but nothing in AAA is going
to be easy. They were able to ground and pound the ball and they
cap-italized.
It was Bells first year behind the bench for the Hawks, and he
said he will always remember the graduating players.
Ill remember the Grade 12s that played four hard years for us,
he said. The Dion Pellerins and the Alex Johnsons the guys that
stuck it out and did the pro-gram proud.
Running back Pellerin and wide re-ceiver Elijah Falconer were
also named to the AAA East All-Conference team for their efforts
during the regular season.
Those guys both bought into the pro-
gram and it paid div-idends for them, he said. I couldnt be
happier for them.
He said the poten-tial is there for sever-al graduating Hawks
players to continue playing football next year at the
post-sec-ondary level, with some possibly earn-ing
scholarships.
Bell said the pieces are there next year to have a strong
run.
There are a lot of pieces here and were learning on the fly, we
hope to be better next year.
Over in Kamloops, the season also ended for the Robert Bateman
Secondary Timberwolves, who lost 19-0 to the Prince George
Secondary Polars on Friday.
The Timberwolves managed only 90 yards offence in the loss, and
allowed 15 quarterback sacks.
Bateman staged a year-end turnaround, winning its final two
games in order to qualify for the post-season.-

The UFV Cascades mens basketball team continued its strong early
start to the Canada West season, sweeping the MacEwan Griffins at
home on Friday and Saturday.
An injury to Cascades forward Mark Johnson on Friday shook
things up in the UFV rotation, but the bench stepped up to lead the
team to a 74-64 win.
Marcus Morgan scored a career-high 17 points, and guard Kevon
Parchment added 17 points and nine re-bounds. The Cascades had a
four-point lead at the half, and took over in the third quarter by
outscoring MacEwan 24-14. The bench con-tributed with 31 points
overall.
The clubs met again on Saturday, and UFVs offence was on full
display. The Cascades shot 49 per cent and outscored the Griffins
97-56. A balanced attack saw five players reach
double digits, and head coach Adam Friesen said his team stepped
up in the absence of starters Johnson and Nate Brown.
It started with lead-ership from our core guys recognizing that
hey, life just got a little bit tougher due to inju-ry, he said. We
trusted everyone on the team, we spaced the floor, we
shared the basketball. We knew we had to play with pace and move
the basketball, and make the simple play. A lot of guys got a lot
of good opportunities out of it, and it happened today that we shot
the ball well.
Brandon Burke (20 points, nine rebounds), Parchment (16 points,
nine rebounds, five
assists and Navjot Bains (16 points, eight rebounds) were key
contributors for UFV. Morgan (14) and Vijay Dhillon (12) also broke
double digits in points, and Matt Cooley added six points, eight
re-bounds and two blocks.
The Cascades also out-rebounded the Griffins 50-35, and
com-mitted only eight turn-overs. UFV is now 4-0 and are tied for
first place in the Explorer division with the TWU Spartans.
The womens team earned a split, beating the Griffins 72-61 on
Friday, but falling 63-59 on Saturday.
Defence was key to Fridays win, as the Cascades held MacEwan to
just 33 per cent shooting.
Kayli Sartori led the way with 25 points, nine rebounds and
three blocks, with Shayna Cameron add-ing 18 points and eight
rebounds. Sydney Williams (12) and Taylor Claggett (11) also
reached double digits.
Im proud of the girls for how they exe-cuted the game plan, said
head coach Al Tuchscherer after Fridays win. They got gritty on at
the defen-sive end of the floor and played hard, and played offence
how we wanted to play.
Saturdays game was tied at 59 with less than a minute to go, but
the Griffins scored on the ensuing possession and Sartori was
called for travelling when the Cascades got the ball back. UFV
quickly fouled but the Griffins made both of their free throws and
time ran out for the Cascades.
Sartori had a dou-ble-double, with 24 points and 11 re-bounds,
while Williams added 16 points and five rebounds.
The women now have a record of two wins and two losses, and sit
fourth in their division.
The teams hit the road for the remain-der of the calendar year,
starting on Friday when they travel to Prince George for a pair of
games against the UNBC Timberwolves.

Tributes to family and fr iends
CODEHelen (Tkachuk)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Helen
Code on 14 November 2015 at the Christine Morrison Hospice.
Helen was predeceased by her husband of 44 years, Verne, her
daughter, Dianne, and her granddaughter, Heather. She leaves to
mourn her son, Craig (Catherine) and his daughters, Carmen and
Caitlin, her brother, Dan (Vi), her sister, Susan, her son-in-law,
Gordie, her granddaughter, Kris (Jason), her great-grand-children,
Melissa, Duncan, and Adam, and her great-great-granddaughter,
Elly.
Helen was born in Hafford, Saskatchewan in 1927, to Nick and
Belle Tkachuk. A good student and an avid reader, she headed to
Normal School in Saskatoon to begin teacher training in 1944. Given
the nature of prairie classrooms, she taught multiple grades in one
class. In her rst assignment, as a 17 year old rookie, she had one
student who was 16! He continued to visit over the course of her
lifetime. Many of her students felt such a connection. She enjoyed
a career that spanned more than 40 years. During this time she was
very proud to have completed her Bachelors and Masters degrees in
Education from UBC. She nurtured this love for higher learning in
her descendants.
Helen and Verne moved their young family to Abbotsford in the
spring of 1963. Together they worked the land, raised a variety of
livestock, and produced honey on their one acre parcel on
Huntington Road. As was her wish, Helen was able to live in her
home until the last few weeks of her life.
Helen had strong ties to the Code family farm near Red Deer,
Alberta. Upon the passing of her husband, she became the matriarch
for a pioneering family dynasty that has roots back to the 1890s.
She was a devoted steward of this legacy.
A child of the Depression, coming from a family of limited
means, nancial independence was very important to Helen. She was
generous in sharing her resources to allow family members to attend
school, put down payments on homes, and take care of their
responsibilities.
Helen was a kind and loving person who never forgot a special
occasion. Months ahead of time, she was prepared with cards, gifts,
and well wishes that were always much appreciated.
Helen was a thoughtful woman who believed in the power of
pub-lic education. In addition to her teaching duties, she would
tutor students ranging from primary to post-secondary studies. In
her retirement, she spent many hours baking for friends and family;
her cookies, pies, and cinnamon buns were legendary. She had a
quick wit and a great sense of humour. She loved to share comics
and retell jokes that she had heard. She was a dedicated member of
Trinity Memorial United Church. Her faith brought her much comfort
and solace as she fought a tireless and stoic battle against
cancer.
We are forever grateful to the kind personnel at the Abbotsford
Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre, and the Christine Morrison
Hospice. Their care and devotion to Helen was much appreciated. No
service by request. A private interment will take place at a later
date. Should you wish to honour Helen, read a book and be excited
to learn something new.
Education is not preparation for life; education is life
itself.- John Dewey
