Many primary students can’t read at their grade level By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star

Laura Grandberg (at left) battles for ball possession in Aldergrove Youth Soccer’s U14 Nemesis girls’ hard fought game with Central City Breakers (Surrey) Hurricanes on Saturday, Jan. 9. Aldergrove lost 2:4 in BC Coastal Girls League Championship play but Nemesis is still in play with five more games in their group.

Primary students in Langley are not reading at a level they have in previous years — a fact that concerns school district officials. At the last board of education meeting, superintendent Suzanne Hoffman tabled a report showing that when 274 students left Grade 3 they were still not reading at grade level. Of these, 155 were not meeting general grade level expectations. Blacklock Fine Arts, Parkside Elementary, RC Garnett and Richard Bulpitt saw the most Grade 1, 2 and 3 children in need of literacy learning support and summer sessions. “We plan to track vulnerable students,” said Hoffman. “We are having ongoing meetings and seeing where support is needed.” There was a significant drop in reading level achievement in 2014. According to assistant superintendent Gord Stewart, some of that momentum was lost due to the teachers’ strike. Not only did children lose classroom time, summer sessions weren’t offered that year. “The labour action hurt literacy,” said Stewart. “But there isn’t one single factor we can attribute this decline.” The board asked staff to find out why reading levels are in decline. Stewart said learning conditions in the classroom over the years are becoming more complex, with as many 30 per cent of students in some classrooms facing significant

behavioural challenges, from anxiety to autism. A number of district initiatives were outlined in Hoffman’s report, including the implementation of Reading Recovery programs in every school and the implementation of a new kindergarten screening protocol designed to identify vulnerable students. The Kindergarten Protocol is being rolled out this month. “Parents have anxiety about this screening because they don’t want their kids to be labeled, but it is really for the teacher to have this information. “If we identify five or six kids lagging behind, that information can be given to the Grade 1 teachers so they have tools ready to help those students succeed,” said Stewart. Trustee Megan Dykstra was glad to see the screening taking place in kindergarten. “If these issues are caught early on and worked on, the benefits show up later,” she said. By Grade 3, it is much more difficult to improve literacy. Stewart said ensuring kids are ready to enter the education system and their readiness to read, starts with parents. “Having pre-kindergarten kids take part in our Read, Set, Learn events and attending our Strong Start programs makes the transition to kindergarten so much better,” he said. But many parents work and are unable to take advantage of Strong Start. Stewart said they are looking at offering evening Strong Start programs next year.

Variety makes a difference to Aldergrove families By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

There is a lovely little girl who lives in Aldergrove who has been helped by Variety - The Children’s Charity. Five year old Ola Maksymiuk was born with Down syndrome but is

otherwise healthy. She lives with her mom and dad and older sister Poppy in Aldergrove. Funding from Variety - The Children’s Charity allowed Ola to have specialized one on one speech therapy through the Down Syndrome Research Foundation.

Without this funding it would not have been financially feasible, and they want other families to know that Variety is there to help. Ola’s mother Leanna says that Ola’s “speech has improved greatly since receiving her funded therapy, but one thing that happened was she

said ‘Mum help shoes’ to me, and I cried because finally at four years old I feel like I got to have a conversation with my daughter. Not being able to ‘talk’ to her has being a trying experience for both of us, but thankfully that is improving!” Ola wears glasses and AFO braces

on her feet, has had ear tubes put in twice for fluid but besides a multitude of colds and sinus infection in the winter she has been relatively healthy. They work constantly at speech therapy and are working on toilet

Family still in ‘sanctuary’ hopes for release By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

Marianna Juhasz was standing behind José Figueroa and his family when the Langley man ended more than two years of sanctuary on Dec. 23 by stepping outside the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church in Langley. Juhasz watched from inside the church as an emotional Figueroa said the new immigration minister who lifted the deportation order against him should do the same for Juhasz and her sons, Patrik and Tamas, who were ordered returned to their native Hungary in 2014. “Let’s everybody just gather together and find a solution for their situation as well,” Figueroa said. That day, several people came up to Juhasz and said they hoped she would be next to win an exemption. “I hope so,” she said. A few days later, Juhasz sat down for an interview with The Langley Times to talk about her life with her sons after more than a year of living in sanctuary in the same church that sheltered Figueroa. Juhasz said she was encouraged

DAN FERGUSON PHOTO

The Juhasz family (from left) Patrik, Marianna and Tamas has been staying at Walnut Grove Lutheran Church for more than a year after seeking sanctuary from a deportation order. The Canadian Border Services Agency has agreed to allow the two boys to leave the church to attend school and play football. by the decision to grant Figueroa an exemption based on compassionate and humanitarian grounds.

“(I have) a little more hope, now,” she said. “I pray every day.”

The Juhasz family is planning to file a new application to remain in Canada on humanitarian grounds early in the new year, arguing it will be in the best interests of Patrik and Tamas. The family said there will be new, written evidence from Hungary that supports their application for refugee status based on abuse by her ex-husband, the boys’ father. They are also hoping to get an psychological assessment of Tamas, who they said has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a result of being abused by his father. A few months ago, Patrik and Tamas were able to resume their studies, thanks to an agreement with the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) that allows them to leave the church without fear of arrest in order to attend school and participate in after-hours sports. Juhasz was grateful the CBSA was willing to negotiate a compromise that benefits her sons. “I’m so happy the boys (can) go outside,” she said. She still faces the prospect of pos-

sible arrest and deportation if she steps outside the church, however. “I’m stuck, yeah.” In his written decision ordering the trio returned to their native Hungary, Federal Court Judge Robert L. Barnes said they had failed to provide evidence that would prove their claim of physical abuse. However, an English-language report from the Pal Bugat hospital in the town of Gyöngyös, Hungary stated Marianna Juhasz was treated for an injury to one arm around the time of the alleged violent assault. The report described her arm as “bruised and sensitive” and said it was not an accident, but inflicted “by a person” who was not identified. A different document refers to the father “slapping” Tamas. The Barnes decision didn’t dispute the claim the son suffered abuse, but concludes that “concerns about Tamas’ psychological health are fully addressed.” Marianna Juhasz said she doesn’t believe the authorities in Hungary will be able to protect her or her sons if they are forced to go back.

Landing gear failure likely cause of plane crash at Langley airport By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

Mechanical failure is the likely cause of a hard landing that closed down the runway at Langley Regional Airport for three hours on

Saturday night. Airport general manager Guy Miller told The Times it appears the nose wheel on a privately-owned twin-engined Piper Aztec collapsed when the plane set down around 7

p.m. Miller said it doesn’t appear that the below-freezing temperatures and slight frost at the time had any effect on the landing. “The pavement (on the runway) was dry and braking conditions were

good,” Miller said. The aircraft, which flies out of Langley, was returning from a trip to Calgary with four people on board. No one was hurt, but the runway was closed to air traffic until about 10

p.m. when the Transportation Safety Board approved moving the plane. “It was just a matter of getting it off the runway,” Miller said. Police, fire and ambulance crews responded to the call.

training, and learning that other foods besides chicken noodle soup and cheese are delicious. At first Leanna was embarrassed to ask for help, and thought that they weren’t “bad off ” enough to get help for Ola.

Everyone is invited, and with their donations we’ll be able to help more kids in B.C.

with special needs.” The show will broadcast live from The Theatre at the Hard Rock Casino, located in Coquitlam, reuniting kids, performers, and hosts in a tribute to Variety’s illustrious past, as well as introducing the new stories and ideas shaping Variety’s future.

A THOUSAND APOLOGIES!!!

Hi, a little introduction, my name is Michael. I have a little jewellery shop at the corner of Fraser Highway and 272 St. We have been in Aldergrove for 21 years. I also have a wholesale diamond setting shop in Vancouver. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the citizens of Aldergrove and surrounding areas for helping me feed my 5 children, 20, 18, 17, 9 1/2 and 8 years old. First it was diapers and toys; now it's car insurance and college tuition. As a result, I have been working day and night to provide for them.

Applications now accepted for Miss BC, Miss Teen BC and Mrs. BC pageants By VIKKI HOPES Aldergrove Star

Black Press is partnering with the Miss BC, Miss Teen BC and Mrs. BC Pageant this year as its official media sponsor. The partnership means that women interested in participating in the pageant can upload and share their information online through the contest page on any Black Press website throughout the province. Pageant organizers will then be in touch with the applicants to provide further information leading up to the pageant weekend, which takes place July 1 to 3 at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley. The final pageant takes place July 3 at 6:30 p.m. and is open to the public, as well as being broadcast on Shaw Television. Black Press will cover and report on the pageant, where three women will be named Miss BC, Miss Teen BC and Mrs. BC. Other regional titles, such as Miss Fraser Valley and Miss Northern BC, will also be presented. Creator and producer Darren Storsley emphasizes that this is not a beauty pageant, but a “development program.” There is no maximum age limit to participate nor are there height or weight restrictions. “There is something in this for everyone. Some girls who are on the shy side and not outgoing want this program so that they can

They also attend a leadership seminar run by female leaders in the community. The women compete in a private judge’s interview, an on-stage interview, sportswear and evening

gown presentations, a sponsor costume introduction, and charity fundraising. The charity of the Miss BC Pageant is the Cops for Cancer Tour of the Canadian Cancer Society. Since 2007, the pageant has raised more than $250,000 for the cause. Storsley said he is proud of the road the pageant has travelled over the years. “In the end, it is about giving back, reaching out, creating leaders and providing a venue for women to take leadership roles across B.C.” For more information, visit missbc.ca. The public is invited to log on and vote for their favourite contestant for the People’s Choice Award closer to the pageant date.

‘Interrupting the stigma’

Seasonal Local Produce

Aldergrove resident shares his story Aldergrove Star

#500 The Original in Stout Brown. Also available in Black. $189.95

Tyson Busby says dealing with personal issues and feelings and expressing them in a positive way has helped him recover from a crippling eating disorder. Fortunately, Busby’s wife found The Looking Glass Foundation for Eating Disorders and the chance

to enter residential treatment. In January 2012, he took that chance, and entered residential treatment at Woodstone Residence on Galiano Island as the first male to ever access their services (the treatment facility has since re-located to Vancouver and is now called the Looking Glass Residence). “Going to a residential treatment facility changed my life,” said Busby. “I was able to get away from everyday living and just focus on myself which I needed the most. “The biggest help to my recovery was being able to express my feelings… I was able to learn that a lot of things that happened in my life I didn’t cause, but I thought I did and I was able to learn how to deal with my feelings in a positive way.” Busby has been recovered since March of 2012. On January 30 Busby will be joined by panelists Kristi Gordon, Caitlin O’Reilly and Ali Eberhardt. The panel will be moderated by Chiara Fero. The event takes place at UBC Robson Square, 800 Robson Street, Vancouver, in the Main Lecture Theatre.

The Provincial Eating Disorders Awareness (PEDAW) campaign presents, Interrupting the Stigma: Putting an End to Size-Shaming, a free panel discussion, in recognition of Eating Disorders Awareness Week of February 1-7. The event takes place Saturday, Jan. 30 from noon to 1:30 p.m. and will feature insight from a number of individuals including Aldergrove resident, Tyson Busby, who lived with an eating disorder for seven years. For Busby, growing up wasn’t easy. He was sexually abused at age seven. By age 12, he fell into a deep depression. His father was in and out of his life. By 18, he developed an eating disorder. The eating disorder, according to Busby, acted as a coping mechanism for his depression and was a way to get rid of the feelings he had inside. Busby hid his eating disorder for a number of years while dating the person who would eventually become his wife. When she found out, she tried to do everything she could to help, but roadblocks stood in the way: being a male with an eating disorder, Busby found group support was inaccessible. Not being able to find help led to desperation and he tried to take his own life a couple of times.

BC Press Council

The Aldergrove Star is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, PO Box 1356, Ladysmith, V9G 1A9. For information: phone 888-687-2213 or www.bcpresscouncil.org

Some people felt a jolt or a bang. Many were in bed and felt their surroundings shake. Some people wondered if a car had struck their building. However it was experienced, the 4.7 magnitude earthquake that was felt in Langley and throughout the Lower Mainland at 11:39 p.m. on Dec. 29 was a reminder that we live in an area susceptible to quakes. And it is a very real reminder of the need to be prepared, said Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese. “We live in an earthquake zone and there is a very real possibility that a far more damaging quake could occur during our lifetime,” said Froese. “Last week’s tremor got everyone talking, but it is important that we take action, too. Now is the time to make preparations so that you and your family are able to cope, should a more severe earthquake occur.” While the Township of Langley had no reported damage or loss of services following the Dec. 29 quake, a stronger quake could cut power and phone services for days, shut down water and sewer systems, and overwhelm emergency responders and the health care system. Stores and gas stations would likely be closed, and while most buildings constructed to code will withstand movement, older buildings could be impacted and transportation routes obstructed. “Last week’s earthquake was our wakeup call,” said Langley emergency coordinator Ginger Sherlock, who urges residents to “be prepared, not scared.” For detailed information on how individuals, businesses, and schools can prepare for an earthquake and links on how to create an emergency kit, visit langleyemergency. ca. The Langley Emergency

Program is run by staff and volunteers who help residents prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies, including earthquakes. “The sooner you prepare yourself, your home, and your family, the more resilient you will be when a disaster strikes,” Sherlock said. What are the consequences? Looking at other earthquakes that have happened around the world, we know: • Power may be out for days • Sewer and water lines may be out for weeks • Transportation capabilities and routes may be altered temporarily that may extend months and years • Our building codes are good and most buildings will withstand the movement • Older buildings, especially those built with brick, are susceptible to major impacts • Health care system temporarily overwhelmed with the influx of impacted injuries What can you do? • Sign up for eAlerts on the TOL website – during events, updates will be sent directly to your email • For more information and links, visit the Langley Emergency Program’s website at langleyemergency.ca • Sign up for notifications and preparedness information via social media: Facebook & Twitter at LangleyPrepared • Understand that after

an earthquake, regular first responders will be overwhelmed and there will be a delay in getting to those trapped and injured • You will be in charge of your personal safety, wherever you are (work, play, home… holidays) • You need to look after loved ones to ensure they are safe: if you cannot, appoint someone who will • Know what the school will do (for children) and what your work expectations are • Have a communications plan – know how you will connect afterwards and where everyone will meet • Take a first aid course, so you can look after minor injuries and help others, neighbours and friends • Have enough equipment, food and water to ‘camp’ for seven days (including a portapotty with sterile hand wipes) • Be prepared, not scared • Start small – but start! Last week’s earthquake was our wakeup call! • The hardest thing to explain after the quake, is why you were not ready…. • Get a pair of hard soled shoes and put a flashlight in one, then place under your bed. After an earthquake (or if the smoke alarm goes off), you have protection on your feet so your feet do not get cut from broken glass, and you can see.

Editor: What is happening in the world today is terrible, millions of people fleeing tyranny, bombs and shootings. I fully sympathies with the French, Germans and all the eastern countries under threat, and I was very happy when Canada opened the borders for the refugees. i hope those who intend to go back to their own country will find refuge in Canada and those who wish to make Canada their new home and become Canadians will be successful in their endeavour. My question is: Why is it necessary for the free speaking world to make jokes of their Muslim religion, Why, when we know the Muslims do not believe in picturing Muhammad, is it necessary to draw cartoons of him? Why are we insulting them? Why is it we demand other nations to respect our freedom of speech but we do not respect their belief. Would the world not be a better place if we were less judgmental of our fellow man a bit more tolerant and realize that with freedom of any kind comes responsibility and accountability, my freedom ends where your nose begins, that’s what I was always taught. Don’t get me wrong I think that it is very wrong to force your belief on someone else as many religions and governments (even Canada) has done throughout history from before the Spanish inquisition to the situation today, religious wars has been fought forever, and becomes more combustible when you add oil and money to the mix. My only hope is that our children and their children can sort out the mess we left them with. Inge Langmann, Aldergrove

Trudeau’s deficit legacy

Editor: Do we have another tax and spend Prime Minister? Our new PM Justin Trudeau, 44, likes to talk about how he learned so much about politics from discussions around the kitchen table with his dad. Pierre Elliott Trudeau was Canada’s prime minister for 15 years between 1968 and 1984. I remember as a young naïve (and not just in politics) family guy, getting caught up in the media driven hype of that day and voting for Pierre Trudeau. It didn’t take long to realize he was on a tax and spend binge. The National Debt graph became a steep incline, interest rates were high and I recall in the early ‘80s it took 33 per cent or onethird of our dollar to pay the interest on our debt which was effectively like a huge tax on top of all the other rising taxes. The dollar was worth only 66 cents of buying power. Like father like son? Justin Trudeau is now attributing his election success on campaign promises of more deficit spending to spur the economy. He did say, “Don’t worry about the budget, the budget will balance itself”. He already appears to be on a spending spree, throwing caution to the wind, not looking very financially responsible with our tax dollars. Harper was campaigning on promoting fiscal restraint and holding the debt in line. All I know is that when your job security (family income) is uncertain, it’s not a good time to rack up your credit card or take on a second mortgage. Media hype played the biggest role in getting the Liberals elected now it’s the media’s job to make sure Trudeau doesn’t embarrass them and get our country in financial trouble. Roland Seguin, Langley

Thanks to LMH staff Editor: Re: Staff at Surgical floor 2 North, Langley Memorial Hospital I recently had occasion to spend a few days at LMH. I observed the staff helping all of the patients with compassion and dedication. I wish to say a very big thank you to nursing supervisor Kendall, head nurse Theresa, Sara Brown, Laana, Harman Sidhu, Christine and Dr. St. John. So much is said about the negative aspects of a hospital stay and so a little appreciation for those wonderful nurses, doctors and their assistants who give their attention daily to those of us who are hospitalized. As a senior and a veteran it is very refreshing to see younger people so dedicated and so passionate in their chosen careers. You made my stay comfortable and relaxing. Thank you very much.

Local man sentenced for drug trafficking By VIKKI HOPES Aldergrove Star

A young man’s substance use and accumulating drug debts led him to become immersed in a lifestyle that hurt the community, according to details presented Friday in a court sentencing hearing. Vishal Bajaj, 27, was sentenced in Abbotsford provincial court to 18 months in prison for three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, to which he had previously pleaded guilty. Six other identical counts were stayed, as was one count of breaching his bail conditions. He was given just over five months’ credit for time already served, leaving him with another 13 months of jail time. Police previously identified Bajaj as among those involved in the ongoing Townline Hill conflict, which involves two groups of young men battling over drug turf in west Abbotsford. The conflict has resulted in several drive-by shootings and two killings – Harwin Baringh,

18, who was shot in his vehicle on Sparrow Drive in October 2014 and Ping Shun Ao, 74, who was struck by a stray bullet intended for his next-door neighbour on Promontory Court on Sept. 2, 2014. Defence lawyer David Silverman told the court that Bajaj, the youngest of five, was pulled into a criminal lifestyle after his father’s death. He was 17 at the time, and clashed with his oldest brother, who became head of the household. Bajaj moved out on his own and worked at construction and restaurant jobs for a period before turning to drugs and then to trafficking to support his habit. “He really had no significant means of support (and) was struggling; simply surviving day to day,” Silverman said. He described Bajaj, whose only other prior conviction was a driving offence, as “very unsophisticated” in his unlawful activities.

“This is not a person who is a hardened drug-dealing criminal. At best, he is an amateur – and not a very good one, in my opinion,” Silverman said. Bajaj was arrested and charged by police on three separate occasions last year after police surveilled him selling drugs at his residence and from vehicles at various locations around Abbotsford. He was first charged in May following a drug transaction in the area of Upper Maclure Road and Mallard Street. Another man, Iqbal Kular, was also charged, and is still before the courts. Bajaj was again arrested on Sept. 8 after police executed a search warrant at his residence in the 30700 block of Sandpiper Drive. His third arrest was just eight days later, when he and another man, Kuldeep Gill, were arrested in the Safeway parking lot in the 27500 block of Fraser Highway in Aldergrove. Charges against Gill have been stayed.

In all three instances, police discovered cocaine, heroin and meth, as well as drug paraphernalia, cellphones, cash, and “scoresheets” to keep track of drug tabs. Silverman said the quantity of drugs was “not huge,” amounting to a value of about $600 in each case. The Crown recommended that Bajaj serve a sentence of 18 months, while Silverman suggested a range of 12 to 18 months would be more appropriate. Judge Steven Point decided on the highest end of that range, saying that although the drug quantities were “moderate,” Bajaj continued to traffic even after his first and second arrests. “The persistence is something that can’t be ignored,” Point said. He was also critical of the types of drugs being sold, saying they are “highly addictive drugs, damaging to individuals.” “Of all the enterprises out there, this is one of the worst in terms of its negative impacts on society,” Point said.

Kodiaks claw Sockeyes in 3-2 win By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

After suffering a humiliating 6-2 defeat on Wednesday night to the Mission Outlaws the Aldergrove Kodiaks redeemed themselves the next night with a 3-2 win over the Richmond Sockeyes. The Kodiaks were up 1-0 in the first period after Nathan Washington scored at 7:03, assisted by Joshua Pollock and Erik Bocale. The Sockeyes moved into the lead in the second with a pair of goals in the first half but the Kodiaks responded with another pair of goals before the scoreless third period to take the 3-2 win. Scoring for Aldergrove were Davin Padgham and Spencer Unger (on a power play), with assists from Quinncy Leroux, Cameron Davitt (2) and Eric Callegari. Aldergrove outshot the Sockeyes 36-30 and scored on one of five power plays while the Sockeyes scored on one of seven. The game’s first star went to Sockeye keeper Quinten Paille, second star went t6o Kodiak Davin Padgham and third star went to Kodiaks keeper Dawson Rodin. The result improved the Kodiaks to 38 points after 33 games (18-13-0-2).

KODIAKS FALL TO OUTLAWS 6-2 The Aldergrove Kodiaks scored the first two goals of the night against the Mission City Outlaws but the Outlaws went on to score six unanswered goals for the victory. The PJHL regular season game result at Aldergrove Arena on Jan. 6 restored the Outlaws to first place in the Harold Brittain conference and left the Kodiaks mired in third place with 36 points after 32 games (17-13-0-20). Kodiaks Joshua Pollock and Eric Callegari scored at 2:29 and 8:30 in the first period, respectively, but within a minute later the Outlaws evened it up to tie the game at the start of the second period. The Outlaws scored three more in the second and another in the third. They also outshot the Kodiaks 36-23 and scored on one of five power plays. The Kodiaks were zero for four power plays. Kodiaks assists came from Matt Oliver, Lucas Stratford, Spencer Unger and Erik Bocale.

Silver linings for Langley’s Lightning hockey girls Aldergrove Star

A pair of Langley hockey clubs earned silver medals on home ice. The teams were among those competing in various age groups at the annual Langley Girls Ice Hockey Association Angles on Ice Tournament, which was held Dec. 27 to 30 at Sportsplex. Thirty-four teams, with play-

ers as young as five, from across the Lower Mainland, Whitehorse, Seattle and Vancouver Island hit the ice for the four days of action. The Lightning squad came second in the atom C1 division, falling to the Abbotsford Ice in the championship final. And another Langley team was runner-up in the peewee division,

losing to the Tri-City Predators in the finals. The other championship finals were: Surrey Falcons defeating the South Delta Thunderstorm in atom C2; the Cowichan Valley Capitals beat the Richmond Ravens in the bantam final; and the Abbotsford Ice topped the Meadow Ridge Barracudas in the midget final.

Valley T-Birds win a big pair Fraser Valley holding on the lead thanks to goals by Zac McKee (2), Mackenzie Wight (2), Brendan Black, and Ryan Crosby-Jones. Game 2 found the Silvertips jumping into an early lead but Fraser Valley stood tall and responded with three (3) unanswered goals in the second and third periods from Wight and Jake Mulder (2) to claim the win. Both TBird Goalies Paul Tucek

and Jordan Naylor each got another notch in their win belt with their efforts. These two wins now have the TBirds tied for fourth place in the very tight BCMML Division with the Vancouver NE Chiefs. TBirds now get a much deserved bye weekend before reuniting with the North Island Silvertips in the BCMML Showcase in Richmond Oval, Jan. 23 at 3 p.m. and Jan. 24 at 11:15 a.m.

Mammoth (2-0) visit the LEC. And Billings said the home crowd’s support during the loss was appreciated. “That was the only thing that was positive (tonight),” he said. “Hopefully they will come back and we can redeem ourselves.”

By GARY AHUJA Aldergrove Star

A stagnant offence combined with some less than average goaltending resulted in a season-opening loss for the Vancouver Stealth. The Stealth — looking for their first postseason berth since moving to Langley for the 2014 National Lacrosse League season — had an inconspicuous start to the 2016 season, dropping a 17-7 decision to the visiting New England Black Wolves. The game was played Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre in front of 4,230 fans. “Their shots dropped and ours didn’t, that was the difference,” said a dejected Garrett Billings after the game. “Their goalie played amazing.” Billings, a Langley native, was the team’s prized off-season acquisition, and he opened the scoring, giving Vancouver an early 1-0 lead. The teams were tied at three after one period but New England scored six times in the second quarter and led 9-6 at the half. The Stealth cut the lead to 9-7 in the third quarter, but that would be the last time they beat goalie Evan Kirk, who finished with 47 saves. “We seemed slow out there tonight, we weren’t
