local home, and the church lot was purchased for $1 from the municipality of Matsqui. Construction costs of the first building were estimated at $700. Each church member was asked to pay a $5 levy to help finance the expense. The new sanctuary was dedicated in October 1940. By the mid-’50s, the building was too small and a new church was constructed at an estimated cost of just over $71,000. The new building was dedicated in April 1957, and some additions followed in later years. The congregation has helped to “birth” some daughter churches over the years, including Aldergrove MB Church (now Ross Road Community Church), Lake Errock MB Church, and Bakerview MB Church.

Two suspects believed to be responsible for bank robberies in Abbotsford on Sept. 24 have been arrested. Const. Ian MacDonald said the two men, ages 25 and 30, were arrested following a robbery in another jurisdiction – he wouldn’t say where – and now face charges related to more than 20 bank robberies in eight communities. Their names have not yet been released. MacDonald said the two men have also been linked to a robbery of a TD Canada Trust location over the summer in Abbotsford. Video surveillance obtained from the local crime scenes has helped connect the culprits with the incidents. Simultaneous robberies took place Sept. 24 at about 2:10 p.m. at Coast Capital Savings and RBC Royal Bank in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way. Lone men entered each business and produced notes demanding cash. They did not have any weapons. MacDonald said the men do not appear to be connected to

a spree of robberies that have occurred at other Abbotsford businesses. The most recent was on Saturday at about 2:30 a.m., when a lone male entered the Tim Hortons restaurant in the 2000 block of Whatcom Road. MacDonald said the man was brandishing a knife and yelled that he was robbing the place. He then went to the cash register, while three of the four employees who were working ran to the bathroom and locked the door. There were no customers in the store. The man demanded that the fourth employee open the cash register for him when he couldn’t pry it open. He then fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. He is described as Caucasian, 25 to 30 years old, six feet tall, with a thin build and wearing dark shorts, a green hoodie and white runners. Other robberies that have occurred recently include three at Subway restaurants – on Sept. 4 and 6 at the location in the 2600 block of McMillan Road and on Sept. 21 in the 31900 block of South Fraser Way. As well, the RBC Royal Bank in the 33700 block of South Fraser Way was robbed last Wednesday.

SCHOOL BUS MESSAGING A proposal by the Abbotsford Police Department to post decals in school buses citing positive messages to students has the support of the board of education. Students would view the signs — with messages such as “Kindness is Cool” and “Be Nicer than Necessary” – as they enter or exit the buses. The plan is to launch the program this month and have a new message each month encouraging students to make positive choices. Based on ridership, it’s estimated the signs would have 1.5 million views over the year.

SPIKE BELT INCIDENT A 31-year-old man is facing multiple criminal charges after Langley RCMP used a spike belt to end the pursuit of a stolen truck from Abbotsford. Around 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 21, officers spotted the Ford F350 at a gas station in the 8600 block of 200 Street. When police cars tried to prevent the truck from leaving, the driver refused to stop, hitting two cruisers before it jumped a curb, drove through a garden area knocking over a tree, then sped along a sidewalk. The Ford headed south on 200 Street at a high rate of speed until officers lost sight of the vehicle. A short time later, another officer spotted the truck traveling south on 204 Street in the 6400 block. The pickup truck made a U-turn and accelerated to approximately 130 km/h. Minutes later, the F350 drove over a spike belt deployed by the RCMP. Despite the successful deployment of the spikes, the Ford managed to keep going until it struck a vehicle waiting at a traffic light at 200 Street and 82 Avenue. Then, the driver exited the vehicle with his hands in the air and was arrested. David Hindmarch, of no fixed address, has been charged with possession of stolen property over $5000, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from a peace officer, failure to stop at an accident and driving while prohibited.

condition has come with many obstacles, she is still eager to inform others about epilepsy. “A lot of people hide it, because they don’t want the kind of reaction they get,” Martin says. She’s experienced that first-hand.Finding employment was often hard. In one job interview, after mentioning her condition, the employer said she would not be hired because she had epilepsy. Her story is only one of many she’s heard – mainly from fellow members of the Centre for Epilepsy and Seizure Education in Abbotsford. Martin credits part of her success in finding a job to the staff at the centre, who are always more than willing to talk to prospective employers in order to deconstruct the stigma. Growing up with her mom and now having a best friend with epilepsy, Laura says she has also encountered many misconceptions of the condition. “People hear the word and they think the worst. But it doesn’t have to take over your life. You can work around it and still live life like everyone else.” Martin hopes awareness about epilepsy grows. “I’m not afraid to talk about it. The only way you are going to get it out there is to talk about it.” The annual awareness day for epilepsy, Purple Day, is March 26. For more information, visit www.epilepsy.cc

he fall marks a new school year and a new season. For Lisa Martin of Mission, it’s the opportunity to do things she never thought she could do. Martin, 51, struggled with right frontal lobe epilepsy for more than 40 years, but this Aug. 17 marked the fifth year she has been seizurefree. Following brain surgery in 2006 – two years after being officially diagnosed – Martin is now able to do things that would have previously given her pause. She just recently went camping with 400 Girl Guides. “I spent a wonderful weekend out in 30 (kilometre) winds and some rain, having a blast,” Martin says with a smile. Given a 99 per cent guarantee that removing her right frontal lobe would stop the episodes, Martin made the hard decision to proceed. Before surgery, she was at risk of having 25 or more seizures a day – each one accompanied with searing stomach pain. While Martin still gets the auras – brief moments resembling deja vu – she can go on with her day, no longer plagued with the possibility of seizing. As a child, experiencing the deja vu, Martin would yell to her mother, “I’ve done this before! I’ve done this before!” Her mom would just stare in confusion, not knowing that her daughter was having a

Lisa Martin shares her passion for gardening with daughter Laura at their Mission home. seizure. And her condition remained a mystery for many years. Martin didn’t have the typical symptoms of losing consciousness and body spasms that suggest epilepsy. Her diagnosis was a chance of fate.Martin’s oldest daughter Krystal, 21, was born with bronchial asthma. One day, while at a specialist, Martin had a seizure. Sensing the difference in her demeanor, the doctor asked the young mother about her condition.

candidate for surgery. Although the procedure left her seizurefree, Martin is still recuperating. The most significant side-effect has been a loss of memory. In the months following the operation, Martin would have no recollection of something told to her just moments prior. To this day, Martin’s family leaves notes on the stove, detailing their whereabouts. Martin laughs and says she thinks she is now able to remember things nine times out of 10, but adds that her family might not agree, glancing at her 17-yearold daughter Laura. It’s this positive, light-hearted attitude that has brought her through the ordeal. And even though her

‘A little bit of trust’

From A5

The city has said water rates will rise by 10 per cent (between $35 and $45 per average home) each year for five years, and respondents were asked if that was justified. Forty-five per cent answered it was, and 49 per cent said it was not. Six per cent were unsure. The poll also found that 68 per cent of respondents felt that “things in Abbotsford are going in the right direction” while 19 per cent said the city is on the wrong track, while 13 per cent were unsure. “That shows that people have a little bit of trust in this council, which is not common in many municipalities,” said Canseco. One question that Canseco

said caused many concerns with respondents regarded how they voted in the most recent provincial and federal elections. “I received a lot of calls about that.” He explained those questions are often asked during surveys regarding an election or political issue. It is used, like age and gender questions, to ensure the sample – in this case 300 homes – is balanced and accurately represented. The telephone survey took place from Aug. 8-14, among randomly selected registered voters. The margin of error is plus or minus five per cent.

Back to bargaining The shape of policing in B.C. is in much doubt, following revelations that the federal government and B.C. government are at odds over the next RCMP contract. While the federal government apparently has set a Nov. 30 deadline for the province to sign a 20-year contract, Heritage Minister James Moore was downplaying that deadline last Friday. Provincial Solicitor General Shirley Bond revealed the deadlock when she spoke to municipal ofﬁcials at their annual convention last week. Cooler heads need to prevail. The RCMP need B.C. just as much as B.C. needs the RCMP. There are 6,000 Mounties working here – the most of any Canadian province. B.C. is right to insist on greater accountability for the RCMP. While a civilian oversight agency is being set up, the RCMP themselves must be more accountable to the province and local governments.

With the exception of cities such as Abbotsford, which have their own police forces, municipalities also have grave concerns about budget implications. There is a good chance that the RCMP will become unionized, and that employee costs will rise sharply. The federal government, which has the most tax authority in the country, should be willing to accept a one or two per cent annual cap on additional costs to be borne by the province and municipalties, and absorb anything above that ﬁgure. It has far more ability to absorb those costs than local governments, which are dependent on property tax. Such a clause would also prompt Ottawa to be much more rigourous in managing RCMP expenditures. The two sides need to get back to the table and bargain in good faith. At the same time, the province and municipalities need to have a plan B fully in place. – Black Press

Dumb leaders attack smart meters Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views The annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention spent quite a bit of time talking about new wireless technology. Unfortunately, most of it was wasted on ignorance and fear, fanned by the NDP, Green Party and some like-minded opportunists in local government. A tiny group of protesters gathered outside the Vancouver convention centre each morning, setting up a pile of picket signs wailing about imagined smart meter sins from privacy invasion to human rights violation. One of them allowed that she was wearing “special clothing” to ward off the bad rays. That’s understandable, since BC Hydro calculates that a delegate’s wireless signal exposure from four days at the UBCM convention is equivalent to standing next to a smart meter for 1,147 years. And that’s not even calculating those other horrible sources of electromagnetic energy bombarding

downtown Vancouver, such as trafﬁc lights, spark plugs, and let’s not forget the sun or Earth’s molten core. It wasn’t all foolishness, however. I attended an economic development panel, at which physician and cabinet minister Margaret MacDiarmid described the continuing extension of rural cell phone and internet service underway since the extension of the B.C. government’s contract with Telus. There was not a discouraging word about cell phone towers, the innovation that spawned the anti-wireless cult in California many years ago. Quite the contrary. MacDiarmid was beseeched to get cell service to northern Vancouver Island and unserviced parts of the Interior, and to cut through the multi-ministry maze still required for routine approval of towers. Cell phones save lives on remote highways. In the main hall, supposedly experienced municipal leaders continued to parrot fear of “microwaves” and such drivel, either because they believe it or because they are pandering to those who do. This continued on talk radio, which stoked the smart meter “controversy” all week, apparently because it reliably

generates angry calls. The descent into farce became complete when delegates had a show of hands on a resolution to place a moratorium on a smart meter installation program that BC Hydro has already paid for. The vote was too close to call, so they had

...supposedly experienced municipal leaders continued to parrot fear of ‘microwaves’ and such drivel... to ﬁsh out their wireless voting devices to vote about 55 per cent in favour of the moratorium. Premier Christy Clark was asked after the convention if her government would contemplate a moratorium on meter installation. “No,” she replied. This is not surprising, since the motion effectively asks BC Hydro to waste $930 million.

“I’ve spent quite a bit of time talking with the experts about it,” Clark said. “I don’t share those health concerns, because when we’re surrounded by wireless and cell phones, there are a lot of other sources of the problem that they’re concerned about.” I’ve argued with numerous people about this. They often start with an exaggerated claim about the World Health Organization’s risk rating. In fact, WHO acknowledges that people who claim hypersensitivity to electromagnetic signals can’t identify them in controlled studies. WHO also notes that cell phone tower emissions are effectively ﬁve times weaker than the FM radio and TV signals to which we’ve all been exposed for decades. Cell base stations reach no more than two per cent of international limits. And smart meter signals are much weaker than that. I’m done arguing with people who make up their own facts. I’ll just address those who haven’t bought into this nonsense. Please, survey your council candidates on smart meters, and on Nov. 19, support only those who have the common sense to understand what a smart grid is. tﬂetcher@blackpress.ca

Getting to the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;truthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; behind farmed salmon

At the Cohen Commission hearings, lawyers for BC, Canada and the fish farm industry were effective in diverting attention away from the truth, and this may compromise Justice Bruce Cohen in making final recommendations based on the truth. Well-respected Dr. Alexandra Morton, marine biologist, points out the truth: Only the sockeye runs that closely passed by salmon farms collapsed. The clinical condition and genomic evidence point to a mystery

sickness that began in chinook salmon farms on the Fraser sockeye route in the early 1990s, exactly when the sockeye began to collapse. When the Norwegian companies quietly removed the chinook farms mid-2007, the first sockeye generation that went to sea since 1992 without being exposed to fish farms returned in historic numbers in 2010. In 1988, the provincial government went to the Broughton Archipelago and asked the locals where they should not put salmon farms.

The government said they would not accept any applications for fin fish farms in these red zones. The truth is they put 14 open-net salmon farms exactly in those red zones. The truth is that fish farms placed on wild salmon migration routes pose real threats to the survival of wild salmon because they create harmful sea lice amplification, they attempt to prevent viral infections of farmed fish with antibiotics, and control sea lice with chemicals. Viruses and bacteria are

extremely adaptable. The stronger these enemies become, the stronger, more complicated and costly antibiotics need to be to eliminate them. Business cannot continue as usual. The weight of evidence is enough to justify removal of open-net farms, starting with the 14 fish farms in the red zones where the province said they would not accept any applications for fin fish farms. A co-management regime needs to be established to include First Nations people

along the Fraser River to govern the aquaculture industry

Better place for memorial

There was a story and picture in the Sept. 29 News, of a memorial tree to be placed in Mill Lake Park for the three female farm workers killed in a traffic accident four years ago. Definitely, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful memorial, but it might cause a bit of a problem if placed in Mill Lake Park. Why? Because, maybe in the future the relatives of other casualties in traffic ac-

cidents, fires, earthquakes, drownings, etc., might want their loved ones remembered by something placed in Mill Lake Park. So, because of that, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m suggesting a much more suitable place to have that memorial tree â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the International Friendship Garden on George Ferguson Way.

Banman seeking mayor’s chair

BANMAN

Abbotsford chiropractor Dr. Bruce Banman has declared his candidacy for mayor. The long-time resident said he was convinced by friends to seek office. “I was going to run for council, but I talked to my friends and col-

leagues and they said ‘Don’t run for council, run for mayor. We need the leadership,’” he said. Banman said the city is “in need of a positive vision” and that “taxpayers are not a bottomless pit.” “We need to take a serious look

at what we are doing ... we forget about our youth. What are we leaving behind for them?” Knowing that the P3 water project for Stave Lake will be an election issue, Banman said he isn’t ant-P3. “I do think we have some time,

though, to make the right decision. Having the Bevan Wells has bought us some time to take a closer, careful look at the issue.” Banman grew up in Chilliwack and went to school in Portland, Oregon. He moved to Abbotsford in 1981.

A crowd of almost 100 farmers and Sumas Prairie residents came to Abbotsford council on Monday night to again voice their objections to a 31-lot single-family development being proposed on the northwest slope of Vedder Mountain. This is the second time in just over a year that a public hearing has been held on the development. Council is considering a request for zoning changes that would allow Hayes Creek Valley Enterprises, owned by Anthony Penner, to subdivide the properties located in the 41100 to 41300 block of Old Yale Road. “We, as farmers, should not have to go through this ordeal – now three times – again,” said Peter Rau. He said the development will do harm to farmers for generations to come. Most of the speakers’ concerns centred around issues of drainage, increased traffic and urban sprawl. “This is not good development, it’s not smart development,” said Aird Flavelle, who believes it will cost too much to provide such an isolated development with police and other services. Jim van Dongen said “traffic is a serious issue” and will affect the local farms. Perhaps the biggest concern was runoff from the development possibly flooding the farmlands below. Peter Schouten owns 800 acres in Sumas Prairie and said he has to test every ditch around his property to ensure food-safety standards. “If one of them fails, I can’t ship my product.” The city will vote on the project Nov. 7.

Restaurant wins for wine

GOLFING WITH THE HEAT

Restaurant 62 in Abbotsford has earned a “Best of Award of Excellence” from Wine Spectator magazine. Eric Ferris, Restaurant 62 co-owner and sommelier, said this is the fifth consecutive year the restaurant has been recognized by the magazine for its outstanding wine menu. “Wine Spectator is considered the industry authority, so to be selected as one of the best restaurants in North America for our wine menu is truly an honour,” Ferris said. The annual wine list award winners are chosen from thousands of entries and are selected by criteria that includes the variety, depth of vintage, number of regions represented, and attention to cuisine pairing.

A total of $9,000 will be presented to the Campus of Care, divided among the partner organizations, Abbotsford Hospice Society: Matthew’s House and Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. The Rotary Club of Abbotsford-Matsqui wishes to acknowledge generous major sponsors for this year’s event. Neal Doan, wine festival coordinator, promises next year’s event will continue a longstanding tradition of providing terrific wine and entertainment, with ﬁnancial beneﬁts to our community.

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I Thursday, October 6, 2011

JOHN MORROW

Abbotsford News

Quintin Laing (left) battles for a loose puck with Mitch Wahl during a recent Heat practice. The Heat open the regular season on the road against the Lake Erie on Friday.

Great expecations for Heat Season preview: More veterans, more talent should equal more wins Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

Last season, on an Abbotsford Heat team laden with rookies, Quintin Laing was considered a veritable Methuselah at the ripe old age of 31. This season, the veteran forward finds himself as less of an outlier, both in terms of age and experience. The Heat are a more seasoned bunch – the product of the NHL parent Calgary Flames signing a series of battle-tested AHLers over the summer, and the experience accrued by last year’s rookie crop. “Last year, it seemed like I was on a little bit of an island with the age gap,” Laing noted with a chuckle on Tuesday, as his team prepared to hit the road for their first games of the regular season, Friday and Saturday against the Lake Erie Monsters. “This year, there’s a lot more help sur-

rounding – a lot more veteran guys to swap ideas with. It is good to have a few more older guys to lean on.” Hope springs eternal for every hockey team in the preseason, but the Heat have some legit reasons for optimism heading into the 2011-12 campaign. Chief among them is the fact the roster – the AHL’s youngest to start last season – has received the aforementioned injection of veterans. After missing the Calder Cup playoffs last season, there’s every reason to believe the Heat have the horses to return to the post-season. Head coach Troy Ward echoed the optimism, but cautioned that the talent level must be paired with a tireless work ethic. “The players, in general, are really excited about what they can be,” Ward said. “And that excites me. I think they

feel like they have another year of maturity under them, and they’ve been joined by some parts where they feel like those guys are positive parts to the equation. “But I do know that it takes a lot of work to be a good team. Right now, we’re trying to establish the work ethic that it takes for us to be a good team, night in and night out. I’m not interested in peaks. I’m not interested in Valleys. I’m interested in a consistent push throughout the year.”

FORWARDS

Scoring goals was like drawing blood from a stone for the Heat last season, as they finished with a league-low 186 tallies. That shouldn’t be the case this time around – the talent level up front has been upgraded, and Ward is installing an up-tempo system to goose the offence.

What do Cory Schneider, Alex Burrows, & Ryan Kesler have in common?

THEY ALL PLAYED IN THE AHL.

Newcomers Ben Walter and Paul Byron give the Heat a terrific one-two punch at centre. Last year, with Lake Erie, Walter was the AHL’s ninth-leading scorer with 23 goals and 40 assists in 70 games. Byron posted 26 goals and 27 assists in 67 contests with the Portland Pirates. At Tuesday’s practice, the apparent top two lines featured Walter between second-year man Greg Nemisz (14 goals, 19 assists in 68 games played) and Dustin Sylvester, who led Freiburg of the German second division in scoring last season. Byron was flanked by returnee Jon Rheault (12g, 22a, 79gp) and Guillaume Desbiens, a veteran power forward who gave the Heat fits as a member of the Manitoba Moose the past two seasons. Laing centered Lance Bouma and Stefan Meyer on a rugged checking line, while Continued on A24

Sports

In Brief Pratap Sidhu, Taylor Cole, and Dylan Manocha scored a touchdown apiece in the victory. Pratap also had a pair of twopoint conversions and Akamjot Dhillon had one. Brandon DuBois and Dylan Manocha earned player of the game honours, while Parvir Haer and Brandon Noyce had strong performances on the offensive line. Q The Fraser Valley Bruins opened the major midget hockey season by splitting a pair of games against the Thompson Blazers on the weekend. The Bruins won the opener of the twogame set 7-5, but the Blazers rebounded for a 4-3 win in the second game. Jake Virtanen, the No. 1 overall pick in the WHL bantam draft in the spring, led the Bruins with two goals and two assists on the weekend. Q The University of the Fraser Valley turned in a fifthplace finish at the PACWest tournament in Victoria on the weekend. The Cascades combined for a team score of 609 over the two-day event, which leaves them tied for third in the overall PACWest standings. Mitch Lock's two-day score of 149 was good for seventh place in the individual standings.

Upset win for ARFC Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Rugby Football Club’s elite men’s side is quickly coming of age. That much was crystal clear in the wake of a 33-19 road victory over previously undefeated Bayside at South Surrey Athletic Park on Saturday. The locals raced out to a quick 19-0 lead and cruised from there, simultaneously boosting their chances in the hunt for a berth in the CDI Premiership in the spring. The top two teams from the Lower Mainland Elite Spray League in the fall earn an automatic promotion, while No. 3 through No. 5 play off with the Velox Valhallians of Victoria for the final berth. At 3-1, Abbotsford is currently in third place. “The whole club has kind of turned over, and we have lots of talented, talented youth,” head coach Jason Young enthused. “For me as a coach, it’s exciting. They’re starting to mature, and they’ve really bought

While veterans like former Canadian international Ryan McWhinney are still making an impact, it’s the presence of the youngsters that characterize the elite men’s

squad. Nine players on Young’s roster are 20 years old or younger, including baby-faced Patrick Shields. At 18, Shields is the team’s youngest player, but he already has eight tries in four games. Kurtis Appeldoorn, who has represented Canada at age-class world championships

the past two years, and Lucas de Beer, a former Yale Secondary standout who has made a comeback from a serious concussion, are among the horde of impactful youth on the Abby roster. “We have lots of potential to score from anywhere,” Young noted. “I’ve been really happy with their performance.” IN BRIEF: Q The Abbotsford women’s squad, the defending provincial Div. 1 champs, beat the Brit Lions 32-19 on Saturday behind two tries from Meagan Chambers and two from Madi Blakeburn. Q The other Abby men’s sides didn’t fare as well as the elite squad. The Div. 1 men fell 34-14 to Bayside, while the Div. 3 team lost 24-0 to Surrey. Q The ARFC hosts its 35th annual Gobbler Tournament over the Thanksgiving weekend. The event will feature 12 men’s teams on and eight women’s teams from B.C., Alberta and Washington. Games begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

to the Heat’s offensive issues last season figure to come from the blueline brigade, which is loaded with offensive catalysts. Sophomore pro T.J. Brodie was the Heat’s representative at the AHL all-star game last season, and his scoring numbers (5g, 29a, 68 gp) were all the more impressive in light of the Heat’s of-

fensive struggles. Incoming veterans Clay Wilson, Brendan Mikkelson and Jordan Henry are also proficient puckmovers – particularly Wilson, who was the AHL’s second-leading scorer among defencemen two seasons ago (14g, 46a, 75gp). Returnees Chris Breen and Joe Piskula are solid defensive-

me, is he was consistent,” Ward said, confirming Irving will start Friday’s seasonopener. Backing up Irving are Joni Ortio and David Brown. Ortio was Team Finland’s starting goalie at the past two World Junior Championships, and he’s had an up-anddown preseason as he makes the adjustment to the North American game. Brown is on a twoway AHL/ECHL contract, and Ward said he essentially fills the No. 3 role that J.P. Lamoureux handled last season. IN BRIEF: Q Forwards Carter Bancks and Krys Kolanos are currently sidelined due to injury. Ward did not specify what those particular injuries were, other than to say they didn’t appear to be long-term issues. Kolanos is on a tryout with the Heat after after missing a season and a half due to microfracture hip surgery. “It has nothing to do with his hip,” Ward said. “A lot of it, I think, has to do with just getting his body back to game-ready. He’s in great shape . . . He just has a little tweak, and we’re just being precautionary. “At the same time, it’s kind of out of my control what they (the Flames) want to do with him. I’m not sure where he stands in the whole picture.” Q Laing will reprise his role as Heat captain, at least for opening weekend. Ward said Laing will wear the ‘C’ at Lake Erie, with Piskula and Meyer serving as assistants. Next week, the players and coaches will vote on permanent captains. “I don’t think it’s fair to put it on a new guy, because it stipulates that maybe he’s the guy,” Ward said. “We’ve got enough guys that can wear those letters right now.” “Any time you get to wear the C, it’s a huge honour and it’s a big responsibility,” Laing said. “I take a lot of pride in the fact I get to wear that.”
