Harm reduction law on its way out

ANNIE ON STAGE A18 Abby Traditional Secondary presents the Broadway hit musical this week

Council moves to repeal controversial bylaw Alex BUTLER

FINES FOR FALSE ALARMS

Abbotsford News

Abbotsford is on track to repeal its controversial bylaw against harm reduction measures, after approving the third reading of an amendment removing the prohibition on services such as needle exchanges. The unanimous decision came following a public hearing on Monday, where views on the issue were mixed. Gen Rottluff, who lives in Abbotsford’s downtown, was concerned about the effect a needle exchange could have on her neighbourhood, and where hazardous needle waste could end up. She advocated for other methods of helping drug users, not giving addicts the “tools of the trade.” “I don’t want my neighbourhood to be the Downtown Eastside.” But other community members spoke in support of the bylaw and the potentially positive impact on public health. John Kuipers commended council for looking at the peer-reviewed evidence that shows harm reduction measures can reduce disease. Jesse Wegenast, of 5 and 2 Ministries, said there was also a human element to overturning the bylaw, saying that needle exchanges allow service providers to connect with individuals using drugs, and that regular contact is a step toward getting people into treatment.

Abbotsford News

A controversial housing project for homeless men in Abbotsford’s downtown core will go to public hearing on Feb. 3. Council approved first and second reading of Abbotsford Community Services’ (ACS) proposal to build a 20-unit facility for homeless men on Monday. Though councillors expressed potential concerns about the project, they voted to move the project to public hearing so the views of the community can be heard. The facility would be located at 2408 Montvue Avenue, across from ACS’s

two years. The project is low-barrier, meaning the men would not have to be drugand alcohol-free when they enter, though they would have to enter an agreement to address the issues that contributed to their homelessness. But the site is located in the city’s downtown C7 zone, which has a set of bylaws that prohibit certain uses including “emergency shelter use and supportive recovery use,” and would have to be rezoned for the project to move forward. The Abbotsford Downtown Business Association (ADBA) has opposed the

dangerous precedent. Coun. Henry Braun said he was happy to finally see the project in front of council, saying that “I think this has dragged on a little too long.” Coun. John Smith said he has many concerns with the project and potentially “tampering” with the C7 zoning, but he wanted the project to move to public hearing. Mayor Bruce Banman said he predicts a “marathon public hearing” when the issue is discussed on Feb. 3, but the views of the public will help inform council’s decision.

At the request of the Abbotsford Police Department (APD), staff prepared a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between FHA, APD and the city to establish guidelines for implementing and reviewing an Abbotsfordbased harm reduction program. Mayor Bruce Banman said while something had to be done about the bylaw, one thing that is still missing is detox services, which he will encourage FHA to provide. He said reversing the ban on harm reduction is “not perfect, but it’s a much better step than what we have.” The changes still require a final consideration and adoption from council, slated for Feb. 3.

Purse snatcher targets seniors Claims he is having vehicle problems Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A man who uses the ruse of a faulty vehicle has been targeting elderly woman in Abbotsford to steal their wallets and/or purses. Const. Ian MacDonald said the culprit has struck three times – on Oct. 16 and Jan. 6 and 11 – and is believed to be singling out elderly women as they leave or return home. MacDonald said, in

Wanted man turns himself in A man who was wanted by police in relation to the robbery of a woman who had just used a bank ATM turned himself in to police on Monday. Hardev Singh Grewal, 29, showed up at the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) on Monday and was taken into custody without incident. The APD issued a public notice on Thursday that a warrant had been issued for Grewal’s arrest, and he was considered a public safety risk. He was wanted in relation to a robbery on Dec. 15 that occurred after a 55-year-old woman used an ATM at a bank in the area of Trethewey Street and South Fraser Way. The woman was followed and robbed. Grewal has been charged with robbery and was slated to appear yesterday in Abbotsford provincial court for a bail hearing.

They might also want to ask someone else – such as a neighbour – to join them in helping the person, MacDonald said.

Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service’s (AFRS) updated false alarm bylaw came into effect Jan. 1. Under the bylaw, a false alarm includes the activation of a fire alarm system that requires unwarranted attendance by fire services. This includes situations where: T The alarm system malfunctioned or was activated maliciously T The cause of the alarm cannot be determined T The alarm results from a security alarm system being routed to AFRS T The alarm was activated in error. Fines ranging from $50 to $1,200 (depending on the structure and frequency of offences) will be issued if the alarm was activated during unauthorized testing, or an owner or occupier fails to notify the monitoring company or fire services when carrying out testing, repair, and/

Curiosity the driver of class reunions Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand Like many of you, I’m sure, receiving a blast from the past brings back memories long buried. For me it was Saturday evening when the phone rang and the female voice at the other end asked, “Is this Mark Rushton, the Mark Rushton who graduated from Qualicum Beach High?” That’s me! She then proceeded to tell me her parents operated the corner store near where I lived ... and I remembered her, and her father’s car, her brother and even their old dog. Cause of the call, however, was not so much to reminisce as it was to inform me that my old grad class was having a reunion, and was I interested in attending. Reunions, of course, are supposed to be

the place to reunite with long lost friends, to chat over the joys of attending a particular school, and presumably in some ethereal way over dinner relive our childhood with those we supposedly grew up with. First of all, I never really liked school. In addition to that, the school district in which I was raised was one of the longest and narrowest on the island, if not in the province, covering an area from Lantzville to Bowser – tiny communities with few souls, that even friendships, if they ever developed, were separated by distance mostly insurmountable (at least in a day) by bicycle. And since most of those with whom I attended senior high were from those very scattered communities, and additionally, due to the size of the grad class, were separated by classrooms and courses, I never really got to know many of them. In fact, when I received an email as a follow-up to the telephone call, of the six people named who the reunion coordinators have been unable to track down, only one was even remotely familiar to me, and

I haven’t seen him since the summer of ’67. Where I grew up, in what is now known as Oceanside, you had but a couple of choices following the final closure of secondary education – become a logger/fisherman or leave town. Within a month of graduation, I was one of the latter.

Where I grew up, you had but a couple of choices following the final closure of secondary education... And of all the 69 kids who said goodbye to QBSS that year, an acquaintance was maintained with only one, and that not rekindled for at least 20 years following my move to the mainland. Regrettably, that relationship, which was tied entirely around our interests in aviation with a lit-

tle “remember when we were kids” thrown in, ended with his untimely passing a few years ago. So what, other than memories of a few post-pubescent attractions to various females, would cause me to attend this spring a gathering of a bunch of senior citizens who essentially have nothing in common save to brag about success or despair about opportunities missed? Curiosity, of course, is a compelling motivation, so perhaps there is something to getting together with people you really didn’t know before, and truly don’t know now. If nothing else, I can possibly and surreptitiously compare how well the years have treated some in comparison to those for whom age as not been so kind. Or possibly discover one of my former classmates has become rich and famous (the spoof movie Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion comes to mind, in more ways than one, I might add). markrushton@abbynews.com 34375 Gladys Ave., Abbotsford, B.C.

solution is to wash my garbage. Really? I already rinse all the recyclables. I’m guessing the cost of the water to wash our garbage is really adding up too, but I guess it doesn’t matter. We have to pay that, in addition to our already ridicu-

lously high taxes. Also, there is the extra cost to heat the house from taking garbage out more often, but again we pay that, so I guess it doesn’t matter. Then too, stinky garbage outside attracts critters. We have never had them before, but we

sentenced to 20 years in prison in March 2009. At sentencing, U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik said Sidhu “desired to get money and be part of a major drug conspiracy and be of use to criminals.” “This defendant betrayed his community and the law enforcement officers who risk their lives to keep us safe,” said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. “Mr. Sidhu recruited another public servant to the scheme, and used threats of violence to force others into criminal conduct. His greed led him to become a trusted member of an organized crime conspiracy who sold his specialized knowledge from years in law enforcement.” According to records filed in the case, Sidhu left employment with the RCMP disgruntled about his treatment. Before and during 2007 and 2008, Sidhu used his law enforcement knowledge to assist a criminal conspiracy allied with the Hells Angels to import large loads of cocaine into Canada and to smuggle B.C. marijuana into the U.S. MORINEE Sidhu ONLws.com abbyne recruited a corrupt border services employee to help get the cocaine through customs check points and into Canada. The investigation of the criminal ring resulted in the seizure of more than 1,700 pounds of cocaine, 7,000 pounds of pot and $3.5 million in currency. In asking the court for an eight-year prison term, prosecutors wrote that Sidhu “organized and choreographed a cast of characters who moved enormous quantities of cocaine, with great success, thousands of miles. “Even more troubling, according to several of his co-conspirators, he exploited the violence of the criminal organizations with which he was allied to intimidate them and others into doing his bidding.” Two defendants in the case remain fugitives. Sentences for 54 other defendants have ranged from 20 years for Shannon, and 10and 11-year sentences for several smugglers, to probation for some less culpable defendants.

Sentenced for assault, extortion

An Abbotsford man has been convicted in relation to an incident last May in which another man was forced into a bank under orders to withdraw cash. Darin Eggen, 39, was sentenced on Jan. 8 in Abbotsford provincial court to a jail term of 11 months, 10 days followed by two years’ probation on charges of assault with a weapon and extortion. Five other charges – assault causing bodily harm, robbery, two counts of kidnapping and another count of extortion – were stayed. On May 30 of last year, a 34-year-old man was robbed, knocked unconscious and forced into a vehicle with his 31-yearold girlfriend. They were then driven to a bank in the 32900 block of South Fraser Way by Eggen and another woman. The victim was told to withdraw cash, but was able to alert the teller to the situation, and police were called. Eggen was arrested at a home on Peardonville Road. Eggen has numerous prior convictions, including for assault, uttering threats, impaired driving, resisting a police officer and drug possession.

StrongStart at Sayers Alina KONEVSKI Abbotsford News

Harry Sayers elementary has become the only school in the Abbotsford district to offer two StrongStart programs, after an overwhelming number of parents expressed interest in the supervised preschool. StrongStart is a drop-in program where children ages up to eight play games, draw, read stories. It is different from a daycare centre because parents and caregivers must stay with their children. The Abbotsford school district believes the preventative program will pay for itself years down the line, with more students graduating and becoming upstanding citizens. “We actually know that the best intervention we could do if we want kids to graduate and be successful actually years before they come here,” said school district superintendent Kevin Godden. “Prevention is a tough thing to sell to people, because you sometimes don’t see that. But we actually have evidence to show that those kids that we invest in early, we see the outcomes on the back end. They’re welladjusted, they go on to post-secondary...” The second Harry Sayers StrongStart centre is the 12th StrongStart in the district. The first 11 were funded by the province. The district believed in the successes so much that it invested in the 12th and is seeking community sponsors for another 16 programs. According to the school district, all StrongStart programs are at capacity. After initial startup, the annual operating cost for a StrongStart, include facilitator wage, is about $32,000. The school district has adopted a long-term vision of student development and prioritized early learning over the last few years. Godden said that the district needs 28 StrongStart programs to support the children who will become future students in Abbotsford’s 30 public elementary schools.

F

arming has been a way of life for generations of Abbotsford families, and some of the region’s best young farmers are being singled out for their contributions to the industry. Kerry Froese is a second-generation farmer, currently operating a 148,000-strong chicken flock on Harris Road with his wife Anita and their children. Anmol Mahil, 24, grew up on his parents’ blueberry farm and has followed in their footsteps and is now running the operation. The Froeses and Mahil are two of four finalists for the B.C. and Yukon Outstanding Young Farmer Award, which judges nominees on conservation practices, production history, financial and

management practices, and community contributions. Both are passionate about the industry and enjoy the challenges and benefits of their chosen profession. For Froese, there’s no better way to provide for his family. “It’s in my blood,” said Froese, who began managing farm operations in 1995. “I love the lifestyle and I want to pass it on to my kids.” Froese and his wife Anita have four children under the age of eight, and said “being able to drive ATVs and work with [my children] outside” resonates strongly with him. In addition to the personal satisfaction of his work, he has worked hard to help others. In 2008 he helped found the B.C. Young Farmers, which in-

forms, educates and networks young farmers with one another. In 2010, Froese was elected to the board of the Canadian Young Farmers Forum, where he has

Technologically, Froese has moved his farm forward with the installation of remote-operated cameras which enable him to watch his flocks and make certain adjustments, such as barn temperature, from anywhere. Modernizing farming can result in a more efficient operation and save money, something Mahil has been working towards on his family’s blueberry farm, which was established in 1986. Mahil was also raised on his family’s farm, and originally went to school for business, but felt drawn to farming and switched to the agriculture technology program at the University of the Fraser Valley, where he is still enrolled.

His duties include developing and maintaining branding, managing the entire production and packing process, and marketing the berries. Mahil, 24, speaks highly of UFV and its recent work to help promote agriculture and increase the public’s interest in the industry. Judges for the Outstanding Young Farmer Program will be in Abbotsford Jan. 16 to judge Froese’s and Mahil’s efforts, with the winner announced that day. The other two finalists are Chilliwack’s Jacqueline and Richard Boer, and Delta’s Lydia Ryall. The winners will then be presented at the 12th annual B.C.

“ The Joint Review Panel’s recommendation is an important step toward building a better pipeline.”

My name is Janet Holder and I am the leader of the Northern Gateway Project. This past December, my team came one step closer towards our goal of building a better pipeline. After weighing the evidence in the most comprehensive, scientific review in Canadian pipeline history, the Joint Review Panel of the National Energy Board and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency provided its recommendation. The Panel concluded that Canada and Canadians would be better off with the Northern Gateway Project than without it. They also provided 209 conditions we must meet before we build the project or before we start operations. From the beginning, Northern Gateway has committed to building a safer and better pipeline. The Panel’s conditions are an important step towards that goal. They reflect the input of thousands of British Columbians and Canadians, and include many of the commitments we made in our submission. But our work is far from done. As a proud British Columbian, I assure you that my team will continue to work hard towards meeting all of the final conditions set out by the Joint Review Panel, just as we’re working hard to meet the Province’s tough conditions. Building a better pipeline isn’t easy. It takes hard work and complete dedication to meeting the highest standards possible. The Joint Review Panel’s recommendation is an important step toward building a better pipeline.

Sincerely,

Janet Holder Leader of Northern Gateway

H1N1 flu returns, targets younger people

A17

Health ministry purchased a record 1.4 million doses of the current vaccine

Black Press

Supplies of influenza vaccine are still available to B.C. residents, despite high demand as the H1N1 strain of the virus has returned, provincial health officials say. Cases since the current flu season began in December have shown a shift towards people aged 20 to 69, rather than the very young and the elderly who are typically most vulnerable. There have been severe cases involving healthy, younger people and two deaths have been confirmed, one in the Okanagan and

one on Vancouver Island. The main strain of influenza to emerge this winter is a descendent of the H1N1 that prompted the largest vaccination in Canadian history in 2009-10, when the illness was declared a global pandemic. Provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the B.C. health ministry purchased a record 1.4 million doses of the current vaccine, which offers immunity to H1N1 and other strains. Some doctors’ offices and pharmacies have run out as demand has been higher than last year. “We have supplies currently

604 556

available, but it’s conceivable that if demand continues to be high, we’ll use up all of those 1.4 million doses,” Kendall said Wednesday. “So I wouldn’t call it a vaccine shortage, I’d call it an unusually high demand.” The health ministry has a website for information on influenza and other vaccinations, with a guide to finding local flu clinics, at www.immunizebc.ca. Since 2009, pharmacies as well as doctors’ offices and dedicated flu clinics have been authorized to administer flu shots. They are free of charge to higher risk groups, including pregnant

Seasonal influenza is mainly a respiratory illness, with symptoms of coughing, fever, headache and muscle ache that typically last from seven to 10 days. It can be complicated by pneumonia and worsen underlying conditions such as heart disease. Kendall said confirmation of North America’s first case of H5N1 “bird flu” is not a cause for public concern, because that strain is typically caught from poultry and rarely transmitted from person to person. A traveller returning from China to Edmonton via Vancouver during the Christmas season became ill and died Jan. 3.

women, very young or old people, people with other medical conditions and those planning to visit a hospital or long-term care facility. Flu season typically runs from December to April. Kendall said in an average year, between 10 and 20 per cent of B.C. residents contract the virus, with about 2,000 sick enough to be hospitalized and 500 deaths, mostly people with underlying conditions. While severe illness among younger, healthier people is unusual, so far the current flu season is in the typical range, Kendall said.

Orphan Annie and is set in the 1930s. It tells the story of an orphan who must live in a miserable orphanage run by the tyrannical Miss Hannigan. Annie’s seemingly hopeless situation changes dramatically when she is selected to spend a short time at the home of the wealthy Oliver Warbucks, who decides to help her find her long-lost parents by offering a reward if they come forward and prove their identity. However, Miss Hannigan, her evil brother Rooster and a female accomplice concoct a scheme to get the reward for themselves. The original Broadway production opened in 1977, ran for nearly six years and spawned countless productions in many countries. The songs Tomorrow and It’s the HardKnock Life are among its most popular numbers. The Abbotsford production is directed by Grant Gasser and Janet Wade. Tickets are available at the school (2272 Windsor St.) or at the door for each performance. The cost is $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors.

Chicken manure incident documentary to be screened in Abbotsford Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

A film exploring the aftermath of a controversial decision by Abbotsford city staff to dump manure on a site frequented by the homeless will premiere in Abbotsford on Jan. 25. Documentary filmmaker Kevin Miller will show his 44-minute film, The Chicken Manure Incident, at Fresh Wind Christian Fellowship Church at 7 p.m. Miller, who called Abbotsford home for 15 years, calls the film an “accidental documentary.� Having previously worked as a writer-director on his films – including Hellbound?, which was recently released on Netflix – he began trying his hand at shooting his own film. He began filming a short profile of Ward Draper, founder of the 5 and 2 Ministries, a faithbased advocacy group for the homeless. While making the profile, Miller received a call from Draper, telling him about the manure dump. “Next thing you know, I’m just following these guys around as they’re trying to deal with the situation. Suddenly I found myself shooting a documentary.� The film follows Draper and Jesse Wegenast of 5 and 2 Ministries in the weeks following the incident. The film also features interviews with Mayor Bruce Banman, Chief Constable Bob Rich and several members of Abbotsford’s homeless community. Miller said he hopes

said he hopes it can help raise the profile of the 5 and 2. “I think the work they’re doing is vitally important.� Though Miller said he knows each person will interpret the film differently, he hopes that telling the occasionally unpleasant

the film helps humanize people on all sides of the issue, adding that the homeless “are people who have stories and are wrestling with issues, just like everyone else.� A portion of all proceeds raised by the film will go to 5 and 2 Ministries, and Miller

UFV men’s hoopsters sweep Wesmen, Bisons

The University of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball team opened the second semester in fine fashion, sweeping a pair of Eastern road games. The Cascades improved to 7-5, tied for second place in the Pacific Division of Canada West, after victories at the Winnipeg Wesmen (6954 on Friday) and the Manitoba Bisons (84-83 on Saturday). UFV shot 9-for-14 from beyond the arc vs. the

Wesmen, with Manny Dulay (4-for-5) leading the way in that department. Kevon Parchment notched 21 points, eight rebounds and six steals, while Kadeem Willis had 13 points and 14 boards. On Saturday, the Bisons had a shot to win at the buzzer, but it did not drop. Jasper Moedt (23 points, 16 rebounds) and

Parchment (22 points) were the top Cascades. Q The UFV women suffered a tough loss to Winnipeg – they opened an 18point lead late in the third quarter, but the Wesmen rallied to win 77-74 in OT, despite big games from Nicole Wierks (21 points, nine boards) and Courtney Bartel (13 points, five steals).

The Cascades bounced back to beat the Bisons 85-68, as Kayli Sartori (18 points), Wierks (12) and Katie Brink (10) scored in double figures. UFV took sole possession of first in the Pacific Division at 8-4, but the Winnipeg loss saw them slide from No. 7 to No. 10 in the national rankings. Q This weekend, the Cascades head to Kamloops to face the Thompson Rivers WolfPack.

Abbotsford News Wednesday, January 15, 2014

Big night for Street Scores OT winner, recalled by Flames A memorable couple of days for Ben Street began with an all-star nod, continued with a slump-busting overtime goal, and ended with an NHL recall. The Coquitlam-born centre, on the heels of being named to the AHL all-star game last Thursday, scored at 3:38 of OT on Saturday to lift the Abbotsford Heat to a 3-2 victory over the San Antonio Rampage. Street’s team-leading 17th goal snapped the Heat’s season-high four-game losing streak, and after the game, he found out he’d been summoned by the Calgary Flames. “Obviously it’s a great honour to be selected for the all-star game,” Street told the Tri-City News. “But STREET . . . I would much rather miss that game for being in the NHL.” Saturday’s victory was Troy Ward’s 100th as head coach of the Heat. He ascended to the top job prior to the 2011-12 season, after serving as an assistant under Jim Playfair in 2010-11. The Heat (24-13-2, 50 points) continue their road trip on Wednesday vs. the Rockford IceHogs.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY ABBOTSFORD NISSAN

One of the most common reasons as to why one doesn't cook from scratch more than they currently do is because of how long it takes to prepare ingredients for the meal. Whether it involves slicing, dicing, measuring, or simply getting ingredients out of the fridge and pantry; let's face it, these tasks require some time. In a world of horrible pre-cooked, pre-packaged foods that are meant to enhance the schedule of our busy lives, I thought it would be practical to discuss options to make food preparation easier, rather than avoiding it altogether. There are many things one can do in their kitchen to simplicity this pre-dinner burden. Having to gather fewer ingredients from your pantry not only reduces time, but also makes a recipe easier to approach psychologically too. These tips come from my experience at working in a restaurant. Have a small dish of salt and a pepper mill at your fingertips on the counter at all times. Chances are if you're going to cook, you will need these 2 crucial ingredients. Another great idea is to keep a couple of plastic squeeze bottles of oil handy. One could be filled with healthy no-heat/low-heat oil like extra virgin olive oil, and the other with high heat tolerance oil such as grape seed oil, rice bran oil, or even canola oil. You can also arrange spices/herbs that you enjoy using on a regular basis in decorative containers by the stovetop for ease of use. Imagine how inefficient a restaurant would be if they had to gather ingredients from around the kitchen for each meal they prepare. Think like a restaurant and you'll perform like one. Reduce clutter and always have a prep area ready and waiting. Every kitchen should have an open area in close proximity to where the kitchen knives are kept reserved for a pulling out a cutting board. If preparing

every meal includes a task of de-cluttering your countertops, the chances are greater that you will not bother to cook to begin with. If you currently keep your knives in a knife block, then a wall-mounted magnetic strip for your knives may be the perfect solution to creating this vacant counter space. A beautiful wood cutting board that you are proud to show off in a permanent location also makes it easier to get started. General accessibility of all cooking utensils, including pots and pans, will also play a big part of your successes in the kitchen. Take some time to reorganize based on your cooking habits and everything will fall into place in a much more efficient manner. Start a collection of recipes that you not only love to eat, but also are comfortable to prepare. Maybe arrange them in a tablet that you keep in the kitchen or printed in a binder with plastic page covers to make them splatter proof. The decision making process of "what to make" can become one of the largest time wasters when it comes to preparing a meal. We all have a collection of cookbooks, but we need to take one step farther and create our own assortment of recipes from these books that we know and love. A quick flip through this customized compilation will get you moving in the right direction a lot faster. Lastly, consider taking a knife skills course. Chances are you have a kitchen and plan to continue eating food the rest of your life, so the small cost amount of such a course will be an investment and pay you back one hundred fold. This will be a saving of not only your future time, but also your future health as well: Whenever one cooks from scratch, there is a greater ability to control ingredients and ultimately what goes into your body.

The MEI Eagles and Robert Bateman Timberwolves senior boys basketball teams have more than a few stylistic similarities, and both achieved similar results at home on the weekend. The Eagles won their home tournament, going a perfect 3-0 in the round robin event with wins over Earl Marriott (83-44), Port Moody (9171) and North Surrey (67-48). The T-Wolves also emerged victorious at their home tourney, knocking off R.E. Mountain and Mission en route to the final, where they blew out Comox’s Highland Raiders 72-54. Neither MEI nor Bateman boasts a great deal of height on the roster, but both used an uptempo blueprint to win gold – getting after teams defensively with a 2-2-1 zone press, and

And that’s contagious.” MEI got player of the game performances from sibling guards Josiah and Nate Allison and post player Joel Sinclair, while Greg Krahn (21 points) and Sinclair (13 points, 10 rebounds) led the way in the tourney-closing win over North Surrey. Bateman coach Virinder Braich echoed Schmidt’s sentiments in speaking about his own team, which got doubledigit scoring from Iqbal Grewal (16 points), Jake Thiel (14 points, eight rebounds) and Matt Keis (12 points) in the final. “We’ve been preaching selfless basketball – that it doesn’t matter what the individual stats are, it’s about winning as a team,” Braich said. “And they’ve bought in.” Grewal, Tanner Friesen and Parm Sidhu picked up players of the game awards for Bateman. EAGLES GIRLS GO 1-2 MEI’s senior girls cohosted a 10-team tourney with Chilliwack Secondary, and the Eagles went 1-2 against a slate of elite foes. MEI, No. 9 in the B.C. AAA rankings, beat Maple Ridge 66-43 in their opener, before falling 72-63 to No. 6 South Kamloops and 95-93 to No. 4 Riverside. The Riverside game was an epic offensive battle, with Riverside’s Vanessa Gee scoring the winning basket with 1.5 seconds left. Eagles forward Taylor Claggett exploded for 38 points on 10-of-13 shooting from the field and 18-of-21 from the free throw line. “I’ve never seen a girls game like this one,” Eagles coach Rick Thiessen marveled. “Both teams just busted out in the second half and couldn’t miss.” Claggett, Tessa Ratzlaff and Grace Tadrous picked up player of the game nods for the Eagles. No. 5-ranked Mouat also participated in the tourney, and went 2-1 with wins over Kelowna (72-42) and Pitt Meadows (95-22), and a loss to No. 1 Brookswood (61-55). THIESSEN HONOURED Thiessen has coached girls basketball at MEI for 20 years, and the school hosted an event to honour that milestone following Tuesday’s home game vs. Walnut Grove. Thiessen, a viceprincipal at MEI, began coaching the junior girls hoops squad in 1994, then took over the senior team in 2006. Visit abbynews.com for more coverage
