‘It really was pure teamwork’ MEI hoopsters grew up playing in barns, won B.C. title in ’63
Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
It happened 50 years ago, but Jim Falk remembers it like it was yesterday. At halftime of the 1963 B.C. high school boys basketball championship game, it was absolute bedlam at UBC’s War Memorial Gym. Cheerleaders were cheering, marching bands were blaring. More than 5,700 tickets had been dispensed; the gym’s official seating capacity was 3,088. Fire hazards aside, the game itself was shaping up to be a barn-burner. Falk’s Mennonite Educational Institute trailed the Alberni Chieftains by a single point, 28-27, their undefeated record hanging in the balance. In those days, the locker rooms at War Memorial were crammed together, with a washroom essentially adjoining the two teams’ accommodations. One of the MEI players made a trip to the toilet and came back with some news. He’d overheard one of the Alberni players saying something to the effect of, “Even if we lose, at least we’ve still got second place.” Years later, Falk would acknowledge that the opposing player’s statement was probably intended as an exhortation, along the lines of, “We’ve got nothing to lose.” But at that moment, to this particular group of calloushanded farm boys, it sounded mighty soft. They began to smile. T T T This MEI team’s improbable journey to the B.C. title game had begun in a barn – a number of them. The bulk of the boys grew up on farms within walking distance of each other on Huntingdon Road, and there was no better place to nail a makeshift basket to the wall and hoist jump shot after jump shot. The core of the ’63 squad forged their hoops chemistry in those barns during their elementary and middle school years, and also excelled together in soccer, volleyball, baseball, and track and field. “We were cousins or second cousins, a good number of us,” said MEI guard Dan Ratzlaff. “I was related, really, to all of the starting five. George Heidebrecht, I wasn’t related to, but then later on I married his sister, so we were brothersin-law.”
Newspaper archive photo; patches courtesy Jim Falk
Games between rivals MEI and Abby Senior drew capacity crowds, and in the photo above, MEI’s Ed Suderman snares a rebound away from Abby’s Sam Vandermuelen. MEI won the Fraser Valley and B.C. championships in 1963, signified by the patches. T T T On Friday nights in Abbotsford, the big gym at Abby Junior was the place to be. This newspaper – then known as the Abbotsford, Sumas & Matsqui News – reported that 1,200 fans would shoehorn themselves into the gymnasium for big high school games, with another 1,000 folks outside. Abby Senior, which won three Fraser Valley titles in four years (1957, 1959 and 1960), was the established powerhouse squad. MEI’s upstart basketball program, meanwhile, had humble beginnings. Early editions of the team lacked proper uniforms – players sported blue denim shorts and old soccer jerseys. Their gym, described as a “cement-floored crawlspace” by one media outlet, was so small that opposing teams generally refused to play there. So they also played their home games at Abby Junior. “You were always playing in front of a full house, standing room only,” said Ratzlaff, reflecting on the classic Abby Senior vs. MEI rivalry games. “They’d
have t w o r o w s of chairs at the ends (of the gym) . . . and the bleachers, the stage, everywhere was full. It was very electrifying.” “It was an era of entertainment that the community had never experienced before,” Falk said. “There was nothing else, really – there was a theatre in Sumas and a bowling alley in Abbotsford, and basketball games at Abby Junior.” T T T In the fall of ’62, a young coach named Jake Braun arrived at MEI. A Chilliwack native, he’d taught and coached in Kansas, Oregon and California before returning home to the Fraser Valley. Befitting the pacifist
Mennonite tradition, Braun never raised his voice, though he wasn’t above shooting a glare at a player who’d made a careless error. “He was his own man – if six words sufficed, he wouldn’t use seven,” star forward Ed Suderman recalled with a chuckle. MEI’s rise to basketball prominence had begun prior to Braun’s arrival – they finished third in B.C. in 1961 with Suderman’s older brother John at the helm, and were fourth in ’62 under Ed Janzen. But Braun refined MEI’s offensive system into what became known as the “shuffle” offence, wherein players had to be well-versed in playing all five positions. Point guard Falk might end up posting up under the basket, or Suderman – the tallest player on the team at 6’2” – might catch the ball on the perimeter and beat bigger, slower foes off the dribble. The result was a remarkable brand of basketball – free-flowing, unselfish, high-scoring. “We didn’t have quarrels about who was passing the ball or who wasn’t, because it actually just happened,” Suderman said. “It was really pure teamwork.” T T T MEI won its first 22 games of the ’63 season, piquing the curiosity of the Vancouver media. Gallons of ink were devoted to this team of hayseeds from Clearbrook who learned to play basketball in barns, sang in the concert choir and spent their evenings collecting eggs from the chicken coop. “To me, never in the history of B.C. high school basketball, or since, has there been that kind of media frenzy,” Falk said. “They’d go down to the grocery store in the centre of Abbotsford and interview the meat cutter – ‘How about this team? What are they all about?’” T T T MEI was favoured heading into the ’63 B.C. championship, and they lived up to that billing in the early going, crushing Creston (99-28) and Nanaimo (78-29) in their first two games. By the end of their third game – a 62-50 semifinal triumph over Queen Elizabeth of Surrey – MEI had already broken the tourney scoring record with 239 total points, one betContinued on A5

What a great celebration it was on June 20th when the Abbotsford Lions club celebrated their 69th annual installation night. True to their 69 years of continuous service to the community of Abbotsford, they proudly presented a cheque for $40,000 to Abbotsford Hospice Society. The special evening was enhanced by the presence of District governor elect Lion Kenny Lee of Richmond, BC. This signiÀcant donation was the result of part of the proceeds of a car rafÁe conducted in 2012. As with so many community groups, the Lions are always there to support AHS. Executive Director Debbie Lehmann says “I know the work that goes into this kind of fund raising and cannot express enough gratitude. And, a special thanks goes to President Bob King of the Historic Downtown Abbotsford Car Show Society for his support”.
Very soon, businesses and organizations in the Abbotsford area will receive an information package to participate in the 5th Annual Trees Of Hope. Last year sold out early and there are a limited number of trees, so please send your registration back right away!

I can relate to today’s motto of ‘Life is busy’. My goal when giving Real Estate service is to relieve some of the stress and to take care of many of the intricate details that come up in a regular Real Estate transaction. I do that using both a strong mix of all the technology that we have available to us these days, while at the same time not forgetting about the personal touch through good old fashioned face-to-face or phone calls. My goal is to have long term clients and that they’ll be happy that they chose me.

The fire was set at about 6:30 p.m. in a garbage can just outside the building – located at Abbotsford Exhibition Park on Haida Drive. Three youths ages 13, 15 and 16 have been charged, according to Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald. Club president Steve Baxter and treasurer Cindy Landers said the cost to repair the damage is estimated at $2,000, meaning funds that could have been used elsewhere now have to be devoted to the repairs. The building, converted from an old semi trailer, was not insured. It serves as the club’s home base, where registration takes place; helmets, gloves and jerseys are loaned out; documents are stored; and merchandise is sold. The fire was contained mainly to the outside of the building, damaging a shutter, a portion of the wood deck, and the skirting around the bottom of the front corner. Fire crews had to break down a door to get into the building and cut through part of the floor in order to contain the fire. Items inside the structure suffered smoke and water damage. A prized “super cross signature board” that had been autographed by elite athletes from around the world melted beyond recognition. The club operates on funds raised through registrations, donations and gaming grants. Landers and Baxter said the incident is about more than just the physical damage; it devalues the hard work of the club’s members and volunteers. “To have it disrespected, it hurts,” Baxter said. In the meantime, the club is looking at alternatives, such as an ATCO modular building. Anyone with ideas, including fundraising options, is asked to contact the group via email at info@abbotsfordbmx.ca or by phone at 604-308-2291.

QUESTION

OF THE WEEK A proposed bylaw restricting the use of propane cannons was defeated. Are you satisfied with that result?
Kids left in hot car
I have five kids aged 5-12. I think the parents need five minutes for every one minute they leave a kid in the heat. What if the four-year-old woke up first and went for a walk with some pervert? Not too bright I’d say. Dave Hackett
To answer, go to abbynews.com
We live in a society where in order to possess firearms one needs a licence and background checks, but seemingly any troglodyte with a libido can ‘possess’ children ... pathetic. Jason Ennis
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
Did you do anything special to honour Canada Day?
I agree that the parents should get more than a talking to on a first offence, but a second offence should have those kids in protective services and they should not be given the opportunity for a third offence. Katie Lindgren
138 responded:
The parents need to be fined $500 for the first offence! Second offence, $2,000 and three points on the licence. Third offence, lose licence for a month! Paula Bourque

On Point Email is a funny thing. You can have conversations with people anywhere in the world, and develop a social relationship without ever seeing their faces or hearing their voices. Carol is such a person. I’ve known her in the digital communication sense for quite some time. She sent an email the other day, advising me that she had read my latest column and it did not make her laugh. I explained that sometimes, there is serious stuff going on that requires editorial comment, like politics and homelessness and such, which can suck the humour out of a drunk circus clown. She was unimpressed. She wanted to laugh, and suggested I ought to get to

The industrial sector still did not come. The only industrial sector to show steady growth in the last decade is the agriculture industrial sector. Currently, there is a higher percent of available industrial land not being used for industrial purposes than there is farmland not being used for farming. It would be helpful to have an industrial land development strategy before eroding the production base of the one industrial sector – agriculture – that is strategically based here. Mark Robbins, Abbotsford
The field of dreams approach has not worked well in the past. In the mid-1970s, land on the west side of Sumas Way was rezoned from farming to industrial. Industry did not come. Today most is in big box retail. In the late 1990s, Abbotsford hoped a growing airport would attract aviation-based industries – no aviation industrial businesses came. In 2005 the City in The Country plan called for ‘employment lands’ for a growing population. 440 acres of farmland was conditionally rezoned from farming to industrial use.

I was deeply disturbed to read about the early release of “high-risk sex offender” Raymond Lee Caisse, convicted of robbery, unlawful confinement and rape with a weapon. He served 20 years. Meanwhile, his victim is serving a life sentence. How can we call it “justice” when the victim is subject to more punishment than the offender? This poor woman has to live every day of the rest of her life with the horrific thing that happened to her. I sincerely hope she has found healing, but you don’t ever forget something like that. And the impact on the rest of your life, your fears, your relationships, etc. is profound. If the victim faces a lifetime of suffering, so should the offender. Why is he free when she is not?

Field of dreams approach is not working Does Abbotsford have an industrial land development strategy? Recently Abbotsford council supported the rezoning of 225 acres of farmland for industrial use. This is in addition to the nearly 600 acres of vacant industrial land currently available in the city. Is this decision based on an industrial land development strategy that identifies the competitive advantages Abbotsford offers different industrial sectors or is this just a field of dreams approach – the more land we make available the more likely industry will come?

MIKE’S STEAK-OUT
The driver who was pulled over by the police officer offered to “pinkie swear” about how much he had been drinking rather than having to do a breathalyzer test. Then, there was the driver who alleged that the only reason the offi-
cer had pulled him over for speeding in a school zone was because he was in a Porsche. These are among the excuses – heard by Abbotsford Police traffic officers – that have been posted online throughout the week as part of a social media campaign. “It’s a way to generate a little bit of addi-
tional attention to road safety and to do it with a little inflection of humour,” said Const. Ian MacDonald of the fourday campaign, which started Monday on Twitter and Facebook. MacDonald said drivers’ excuses for their bad behaviours tend to fall into one of three categories – a straight-

forward explanation, an accusation that the officer was wrong, or a claim that it was the officer’s fault. In one case, a young woman who was driving while prohibited had her car impounded at the scene. She then blamed the officer for “ruining her life,” saying she had plans to go into Vancouver the next day. Other excuses posted online include: – “There’s no way my car could go that fast; it would explode!” – “I wasn’t on my phone. I was holding it. I have to hold it. I can’t let it go.” – Driver says, “My dad could buy you.” Officer responds, “Get him to buy two of me. I could use the help.” – “You can’t give me a ticket for this. I got one last week!” MacDonald said police will likely run the campaign again at some point this year.

Three Metro Vancouver residents have contracted measles and health officials are urging the public to ensure their immunizations are up to date to help prevent further spread of the virus. The three cases to date are all on the North Shore or Bowen Island, but one of those patients went cross-border shopping in Bellingham recently, potentially exposing people there to infection. Vancouver Coastal Health officials are also tracing the three patients’ contacts on this side of the border to alert others who are at risk, but haven’t identified specific places in the Lower Mainland where the public was exposed. “We’re not worried yet about a general community-level transmission,” said medical health officer Dr. Réka Gustasfon. She called the cases unusual in that they’re the first locally acquired measles cases here since a 2010 outbreak. Advice and vaccinations are being offered to anyone who may have been in contact with those infected, but Gustafson said anyone who is unsure about their measles immunization can get the vaccine for free from doctors and clinics. Whatcom County’s Health Department issued its own alert last Thursday, warning that someone ill with measles could have transmitted the virus to other shoppers on June 22 at the Bellingham Costco between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and also at Bellis Fair Mall between noon and 4 p.m. Metro Vancouver rarely sees more than a single case of measles at a time, Gustafson said, because of the relatively high population immunity here. But she noted there are neighbourhoods across the region where vaccination levels are lower and there’s a much higher risk of broader transmission within those pockets. Measles are highly contagious starting one to two days before symptoms show up and continuing until four days after the classic measles rash begins. The droplets from coughs and sneezes can remain airborne in a room for one to two hours after the infectious person has left, according to Whatcom officials. It can take seven to 21 days for someone to come down with measles after they’ve been exposed. “If you have large outbreaks – thousands and thousands of cases – there will be deaths from measles,” Gustafson said. Anyone who develops measles symptoms – starting with a fever, runny nose, cough and red, watery eyes – is urged to stay home and not expose others.
Chemicals, not oil, riskiest rail cargo Jeff NAGEL Black Press
Authorities are playing down concern over potential for a deadly rail disaster in the Lower Mainland after a runaway train laden with crude oil destroyed much of the Quebec town of Lac Megantic. Shipping oil by rail has been on the upswing as pressure grows to get landlocked Alberta oil out to global markets. Train loads of crude oil aren’t yet rolling through Metro Vancouver for export, but there’s growing speculation that could come, particularly if proposed new pipelines are rejected. But poisonous or explosive gases do roll on rail through heavily developed neighbourhoods and those are the train cars that are of greatest concern to emergency responders
if a train derails. Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis said one risky substance is propane, which is explosive and heavier than air, so it doesn’t readily dissipate. Other chemicals that move on rail in this region include chlorine, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, which spilled from CN Rail cars into the Cheakamus River in 2005, killing half a million fish. Rail disasters are a “low frequency, high risk” threat that emergency responders in the region prepare for, he said. “We haven’t taken it lightly,” Garis said. Unlike derailments in rugged slide-prone parts of B.C., Garis noted the Lower Mainland is mostly flat and trains move slowly so risks of an accident are reduced.

Car and Lego enthusiasts rejoice Agrifair has two new shows
Agrifair is looking for all car enthusiasts, Lego builders and people of all ages with imaginations who want to create. The Carz and More show and the Lego Mania show take place at Agrifair from Aug. 2-5. No matter what your age, there will be lots of fun things to do and see. “We’re pretty excited!” said Don Curtis, a director of the Agrifair. “This will be a marquee event for the Agrifair. I expect it to be as big a draw as the rodeo and music concerts.” First out of the gate on Aug. 2 is Vintage Day, a showcase of nonmodified, pre-1973 cars and trucks, followed by SOS: Services on Safety on Aug. 3, featuring current and vintage emergency vehicles. The Aug. 4 show, Planes, Trains and Automobiles: Anything with Wheels, will exhibit a variety of wheeled and winged machines, and finally on Aug. 5, Hot Rods, Sports Cars and Super Cars will present a collection of expensive and luxurious cars. Fans and enthusiasts will have an opportunity to be judges and cast a ballot for their favourite vehicle in three of the above four categories throughout the weekend. The top vehicle at the end of each show day will receive a $500 prize based on the votes. If you own a cool car or a cool ‘thing on wheels’ and want to get in on
the jackpot plus an opportunity to show off your baby, call 604-852-6674 or visit www.agrifair.ca to get your entry form. A giant Lego creation will be in the works throughout the long weekend. Brickville DesignWorks, an interactive company that creates giant sculptures and custom creations out of Lego, is planning a big build among other creative fun for people of all ages. “It will be fun, big and interesting for people to see and take pictures of,” said Robin Sather, one of 13 Lego certified professionals in the world and co-founder of Brickville DesignWorks. The only hint given is that it will be something in line with this year’s Agrifair theme, The Wild Wild West. Construction will begin on Aug. 2 and continue through to the end of the fair, so be sure to return on Sunday afternoon to see the final creation. The competition stacks up at the Lego Mania show, so gather up your bricks, studs, tiles, plates and baseplates, and build something cool or simply register a prized piece from your home collection. Expect to see entries from King Traditional School’s Lego Club. Entries must be original. Creations will be displayed and prizes will be given. See www. agrifair.ca for registration details.

The Reach Gallery Museum will receive over $20,000 in funding from the federal government, announced Abbotsford MP Ed Fast, minister of international trade, on behalf of the minister of Canadian heritage on Friday. The funding is provided through the Museums Assistance Program and the Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage Program. “Centres like (The Reach) help strengthen our collective identity and also contribute to Canada’s economic vitality,” said Fast. With this funding, The Reach will host “The Navy: A Century in Art” from Sept. 26 to Jan. 5, 2014. The travelling exhibit – circulated by the Canadian War Museum – features paintings from the Beaverbrook Collection of War Art. The Reach will also offer community-engagement programs, including a series of public lectures and artists talks. From Jan. 1 to July 23, 2014, the museum will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Komagata Maru incident, when the arrival in Canadian waters of a steamship carrying more than 300 people from India challenged the Canadian immigration laws of the day. Activities will include literary readings, artist displays and tours of

Permit values drop
Building permit values in Abbotsford fell 21 per cent in May 2013 from April 2013, with a 51 per cent rise in nonresidential permits not enough to mitigate a 38 per cent decline in residential permits, according to Vancouver Regional Construction Association’s analysis of Statistics Canada Building Permit Report. Seasonally adjusted total building permit values in Abbotsford fell in May 2013 to $19.4 million from $24.6 million in April 2013. “After a dramatic spike in April, we saw residential permit values fall back in May,” says Jan Robinson, interim president of the Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA). “This drop was contrasted by the reemergence of institutionalgovernment permits, totaling $5 million this month after no activity last month.” Seasonally adjusted non-residential permit values increased to $6.9 million in May from $4.6 million in April. Commercial permits dropped 89 per cent to $300,000 in May, industrial permits edged up one per cent to $1.6 million, while institutional-government permits jumped to $5 million compared to no permits in April.

What ACS Proposes for the Homeless and those At-Risk of Homelessness Abbotsford Community Services (ACS), in partnership with BC Housing and the City of Abbotsford, is proposing to develop a 21-unit apartment building on their property at 2408 Montvue Avenue in Abbotsford, adjacent to the ACS offices. The project will house men who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. This is the third project in Abbotsford which addresses the issue of homelessness and its impact on the community, with the first being the Christine Lamb Residence on Clearbrook Road and the second being the George Schmidt Centre on King Road.
Some facts about this initiative:
• • • • • •
Unlike a temporary emergency shelter bed, this will be someone’s stable home with supportive services on-site. The initiative uses a Housing First model, which contends that until a person’s housing and basic needs are met, they cannot address other issues such as mental health and substance misuse. This is a supported housing initiative with 24 hour supervision, including full time service staff. ACS staff will provide additional supportive services including Addictions, Counselling, Advocacy, Employment Services, Life Skills Training, Mentoring and Food Bank Services.  ACS will partner with health and mental health professionals and other community based services to support residents.  The site will be low barrier, which means that residents will not need to be clean and sober to enter the facility, but upon intake, they will be required to enter into an agreement that identifies physical and mental health and substance misuse and a plan to address these issues. needle exchange •No No substances allowed on premises •No illicit visitors allowed in the suites, or after 9pm in the building •Secure, fenced in smoking area •Alcohol consumption will be monitored and restricted •Inappropriate and disruptive behaviours will not be accepted •and will be addressed
Everyone Welcome

The proposed collaborative project will house men who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and in doing so will further promote a safe, clean and vibrant neighborhood; one in which everyone wants to live and prosper. Our goal is to house people who are homeless and support their transition in to independent housing.Â

Make Your Home Safe for Independent Living Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safely and independently in the comfort of your home? Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities? Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program. Find out today if you are eligible and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.
To apply or learn more, visit www.bchousing.org/HAFI You can also contact BC Housing: Phone: 604-646-7055 Toll-free: 1-800-407-7757 (ext. 7055)
HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities
Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

The tour will conclude in Fraser River Heritage Park — with lunch provided by the Blackberry Kitchen — where one participant will win a $250 shopping spree at Fraser Valley Building Supplies. The following day from noon until 4 p.m., there will be children’s activities, music, guided harbour walking tour and more at Mission Harbour’s Spirit Square in the Jack Poole Harbourside Park. A burger and beer night at the Captain’s Cabin Pub follows from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. B.C. Days were proclaimed by municipal politicians at the June 17 council meeting.

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

Katrina Cameron’s return from a brain tumour is an inspiration to her softball teammates Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
When Katrina Cameron heard the crack of the bat and saw the ball arcing toward her territory in right field, her heart started racing. “Uh oh.” The thought never would have crossed her mind two years ago. She’d been one of the very best players in her age group in the Abbotsford Minor Fastball Association, a

In July 2011, she’d undergone surgery to remove a cancerous brain tumour, and during the subsequent radiation and chemotherapy, she dropped from 100 pounds to 64. When she came out to watch a ballgame in 2012, her former teammates and coaches were devastated to see she couldn’t

The ball reached its apex and started to fall, and Cameron started to run towards it. T T T Just before her team’s first game at the 2011 provincial championship, Cameron’s mother Amberley called head
coach Leasa Lepine and informed her Katrina wouldn’t be able to make it. She’d been struggling with headaches and vomiting. “In the pit of my stomach, I thought something wasn’t right, because that’s not like
her (to miss games),” said Lepine, who had coached Cameron since she was nine years old. “She’s very tough.” A CT scan revealed Cameron had a medulloblastoma, a highly malignant tumour. “We were at the bed-

healed, it was on to radiation and chemo. The process took a horrendous toll – for a while she was unable to eat, and had to have a feeding tube inserted. One particular drug, vincristine, did a number on her muscles and ligaments, robbing her of her athletic vitality. T T T When Lepine invited Cameron to join the Outlaws 97/98 B squad this year, the youngster was nervous. Regaining mobility in her joints was still a work in progress, and she’d lost the muscle memory for hitting, catching, even running. This was a different group of girls than she’d played with before. Would they want her around? But the team, Cameron said, has been “absolutely amazing.” “It was a relief,” said the 16-year-old, who is going into Grade 11 at Hatzic Secondary. “The girls are incredible . . . They’re always cheering me on, making sure I have my hopes up.” The inspiration runs both ways. At a tournament in North Delta in May, Lepine sensed her team was getting frustrated after making a few errors in the field. She asked Cameron to address the group. “She was like, ‘Come on, girls! This is just a game! Have fun!’” Lepine related. “And then they all just started laughing, and they played so hard afterwards. “She brings such leadership to the team . . . With Katrina here, they kind of realize the big picture of life.” T T T The aforementioned fly ball came Cameron’s way during a tourney game a few weeks back. She closed in and stabbed the ball on the backhand, and her teammates went bananas. “I was like, ‘Holy crap, the ball’s in my glove – yes!’” Cameron related with a chuckle. Cancer-free for over a year now, Cameron is up to 110 pounds, and she’s working with a private trainer as she continues her comeback. The next big event for her Outlaws is the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship, a major tournament at Softball City in Surrey which runs July 12 to 22. “It feels like I just conquered everything,” she said of returning to the ball diamond. “Now I’m back with everybody, playing my game.”

MEI spikers to take on the world Eagles senior boys to represent Canada at international tourney in China
Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
The month of July, it should be noted, is not high school volleyball season. Not even close. It’s not even high school
season, for that matter. But for the better part of two months already, the Mennonite Educational Institute boys volleyball squad has been hard at work, gearing up for a once-
in-a-lifetime trip to China. The Eagles have been selected to represent Canada at the Beijing International Volleyball Tournament – an event which runs July 18-25,
DAN KINVIG Abbotsford News
The MEI senior boys volleyball team is headed to China, representing Canada at a 16-team international high school tournament next week.
bringing together high school teams from 16 nations. “There’s Brazil, Russia, Italy, France – all the top volleyball countries are represented, which is awesome,” marveled MEI head coach Jordan Geransky. “It’s a pretty amazing opportunity, and it kind of came out of nowhere. “We were in the middle of club season, with everyone on different teams, and suddenly I had to call a meeting at the school to let them know we had to try out now. It’s really unorthodox.” MEI boys volleyball is one of the more impressive dynasties on the B.C. high school sports scene – the Eagles have climbed the podium at 11 straight AA provincial championships, winning eight
gold medals, one silver and two bronzes in that span. Being selected for the Beijing tourney adds
to that legacy. Geransky trimmed an initial list of 25 hopefuls down to 12 for the
trip to China, with three additional roster spots reserved for fall tryouts. Continued on A35

of the continent, from Ontario to California to Florida to Alaska. “It’s amazing, the amount of growth,” marveled Shepherd, who is a director with Pickleball Canada along with wife Shirley. “On average, we get probably three or four emails a week from new groups starting off in Canada. They start off as small groups with eight to 10 players, and the next thing you know, there’s 30 or 40.” Pickleball, for the uninitiated, is a hybrid of tennis and badminton, played with a hard paddle and a wiffle-type ball on a badmintonsized court, with the net lowered to 36 inches. Abbotsford has become a hotbed for the fledgling sport, and 20 locals climbed the podium at the Canadian Open. The tourney had a junior doubles division for the first time, drawing three Abby teams. Spencer Laughlin and Jimmy Ahn won gold, Brandon Kirk and Ryan Rizzo won silver, and Samuel Brittain and
Brayden Latray took bronze. Local medalists on the men’s side included the duo of Brian Parkes and George Pool (silver in 60+ doubles and bronze in 65+ doubles), Rhys Martell and Mat Khan (silver in under55 doubles), Ken Franz and Gene Latray (bronze in under-55 doubles), Brian Brunink (silver in 55+ doubles with partner Matt Annan) and Henry Meerkerk (gold in 65+ doubles with John Kusch). On the women’s side, medalists included Debby Holley and Claire Pool (gold in 55+ doubles), Kathleen Parkes (silver in 60+ doubles with Brenda Jmaeff), Pat Khan (bronze in 60+ doubles with Beryl Kusch), Inge Scholz (silver in 70+ doubles with Vera Loskot) and Feige Li (bronze in under-55 doubles with Kathleen Brundo). Mixed doubles medalists were George Pool and Claire Pool (bronze in 55+) and Henry Meerkerk and Brian Parkes (bronze in 65+). For a complete list of Canadian Open medalists, visit abbynews.com.

Bandits roll in playoffs, win B.C. title Dan KINVIG
Abbotsford News
During the round robin portion of their provincial championship tournament in Delta last weekend, the
Abbotsford Bandits U19 C girls fastpitch squad showed few signs that a gold medal was in their immediate future. The Bandits struggled early, squeaking into the playoffs as the eighth
and final seed. But they caught fire at that point, winning four games in a row to claim the title. “We played fantastically in the playoff games,� said Bandits coach Dave Gibson, Vocal Trio from

whose team won both the Surrey Storm tourney and the district title earlier this season. “Everybody hit, everybody played well.� The Bandits opened the playoffs with a 15-14 win over the Fleetwood Bandits, then topped the Sooke Hustlers 12-5 in their second game. Up next in the doubleknockout tourney were the Langford Lightning, who built a 4-0 lead through four innings. But the Abby squad rallied with five runs in the top of the fifth, and won 7-6. Then they clinched the title with an 11-7 triumph over Langford. “This team has a core of about seven girls who have played together for the last five years,� Gibson noted. “They understood, looking up at the scoreboard and seeing 4-0 up there for the opposition, it doesn’t really mean anything. There’s seven innings, and that’s an eternity.� The Bandits got dominating pitching by

said Ben Lieuwen, who plays left side and is going into Grade 12 in the fall. “We’ll come back in September a little bit more polished, not as rusty. “I think this trip will open our eyes to what we can accomplish this season. Getting invited to an international tournament means we do have talent on this team. We’re going to try to go all the way and go for gold in the fall.”

BIRTHS
sonder n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own - populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness - an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk. Remembered with love by Mum, Lynn Erskine (Terry) of North Saanich, Dad, Benny Andersen of Abbotsford, Sister Kristy Andersen of Abbotsford, & an amazing family of friends. A BBQ will be held in his memory at McDonald Park, Abbotsford V3G 0A1. Donations may be made to www.righttoplay.com or charity of your choice. Yo, no more riding, it’s time to fly!
BRUHN, Guenther April 13, 1933 ~ July 4, 2013 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Guenther Bruhn. He is survived by his wife Christa, his brother, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins and close friends both in Canada and Germany. Guenther was born in Hamburg, Germany and worked at the German railroad before immigrating with his wife Christa to Canada in 1957. He was a successful businessman in Maple Ridge. After retiring, he and his wife moved to Abbotsford where Guenther was the president of the Abbotsford/Mission Alpen club for many years. Guenther and Christa have been married for 56 years. In 2002 Christa gave Guenther one of her kidneys, which allowed them many more years of travelling in their motorhome and abroad. One of Guenther’s passions was fishing with his friends at his favorite fishing spot Greeny Lake. He will always have a special place in our hearts and we will remember him with great fondness. In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer that donations be made to the BC Kidney Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society.

SAWATZKY Bill July 14, 1943 ~ July 5, 2013
It is with profound sadness and deep grief that we said “see you later� to our wonderful husband, dad, and grandpa in the afternoon of July 5th at the Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission BC. We said “see you later� because we will see him again one day in heaven for a great family reunion. Left to mourn him are: his wife of 46 years Shirley, his daughters Crystal (Frank) Letkeman, Sherry (Rob) Puittinen and Jill (Craig) Seale; along with his grandchildren - Celine, Cady, Alexa, Logan, Skylar, Rayna, Asher, and Esme. Also left to mourn him are his sisters, brother in laws and sister in laws, nieces, nephews, and many dear friends. Born in Winnipeg Manitoba, Bill moved his family westward, settling in BC in 1981. Bill was a truck driver who loved meeting new people and enjoying God’s creation from his driver’s seat. Bill was an amazing man. He loved Jesus deeply, and was quick to share his faith with others along the way. His family has always been his greatest joy, and each grandchild was a delight to his heart. His words daily to Shirley were “Honey, you look so beautiful and I love you so much!� He loved to be anywhere in God’s nature: camping, gardening, and walking with Shirley. His is known for his kind words, great generosity, handyman skills, warm smile, optimistic spirit, and deep love for others. His passing leaves a huge hole in our hearts and lives. He will be profoundly missed here on earth. But we do rejoice that he is now pain free, living abundantly and freely with His maker and lover of his soul. We want to thank the staff at Christine Morrison Hospice for their deep care and love for Bill and our family through this very difficult time. A celebration of Bill’s life will be held on Monday July 15th at 11am at Immanuel Fellowship Baptist Church in Abbotsford, BC. All who know and love Bill are welcome to celebrate and remember with us. In lieu of flowers, we gratefully appreciate contributions to the Christine Morrison Hospice in honour of Bill’s name.
