The Simon Fraser Football team opened up their GNAC schedule at home on Sept. 8. The visiting Wildcats from Central Washington University were too much for the Clan, as they went on to win the game 56–28. Despite the loss, there were some spots of hope, scoring points off turnovers for the second straight game. Adam Berger recovered the ball when it was fumbled by the Wildcats offense in the first half. This led to a Clan touchdown after Trey Wheeler hooked up with Lemar Durant in the endzone. Bo Palmer had a respectable 102 yards. The Clan’s only touchdown on the ground came from Freshman running back Tarrance Crawford, who pounded the ball in for the score. Wheeler was 28–36 for 285 yards with three touchdowns. On the receiving side, Durrant caught 10 passes for 114 and a touchdown. Bobby Pospischil was there for support, breaking the century mark and pulling in 11 balls for 108 yards. The loss leaves the clan 1–1 on the season but 0–1 in conference play. “They were the better team today,” admitted Wheeler.
The Clan were able to beat the Wildcats on Terry Fox last year, but will have a chance to redeem themselves on Oct. 13, when they travel to Central Washington to duel the Wildcats. They were unsuccessful last year, being trounced 37–17. They went on the road to battle Humbolt in Arcata, CA on Saturday. In the 2011, season, the Humbolt State Lumberjacks barely broke a sweat against the Clan, beating them 35–7 at SFU, and then 42–10 at home. This season they are 2–0, sitting on top on the conference after two weeks. The Clan will need to dig deep in order to defeat the Lumberjacks on the road.

In July, the PACE Society, a drop-in centre in the area, permanently closed down. In February, the WISH Drop-In Centre closed temporarily. Most recently, The Tyee reported that the Kingsway Community Station, Vancouver’s last drop-in centre for sex workers, was on the brink of...
