A neighbour rode his bike past a house heavily damaged by a fire that started from a cigarette discarded in bark mulch on the Willoughby slope on Tuesday.

Passerby burns down house

Firefighters are warning smokers not to stub out their cigarettes in bark mulch. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

AUTO GLASS & RESIDENTIAL

A discarded cigarette likely caused a fire that destroyed a sizeable portion of a house on the Langley-Surrey border Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 27. The house, in the 7200 block of 196th Street, is located next to a walkway that connects 196th to a nearby cul-de-sac, said Township of Langley assistant fire chief Pat Walker. The fire began in the shrubs and bark mulch adjacent to the path. It smoldered and then passed through a chain-link fence, got into cedar hedges, and then jumped eight inches to the house’s vinyl siding, said Walker. By the time fire crews were called at 4:24 p.m., the fire was burning up the outer wall. A neighbour was one of the first people to notice the fire, said Walker.

The neighbour didn’t know if anyone was home, so he pounded on the front door and eventually kicked it in and yelled, said Walker. Fortunately, the family that lived there was not home, and no people or pets are believed to have been injured. Walker was glad the man checked for occupants. “He did a pretty heroic thing there,” said Walker. Fire crews from both Surrey and Langley arrived within 30 seconds of one another, and worked together to put out the blaze. While the house was technically in Langley, 196th Street is right on the border between the two municipalities, and both fire services tend to respond to calls there and to help one another out. “There’s great teamwork between the two different departments,” said Walker. The firefighters had to knock in the roof and soaked the upper floor of the building to stop the fire, which had invaded the attic of the building.

The home suffered extensive damage to structure and contents. The cause of the fire was both obvious and preventable. “It was probably discarded smoking materials,” said Walker. Someone apparently dropped a cigarette on the mulch. Even with recent rain, after a largely dry summer mulch and trees are still very dry and combustible, said Walker. “We had a fire there about a

week and a half ago, from a bark mulch fire,” Walker said of the neighbourhood. Firefighters have repeatedly reminded people this year to be cautious with fires. Backyard burning is banned at this time of the year, and cigarettes can easily cause fires. A piece of hot farm machinery is thought to have sparked a massive grass fire in a Fort Langley farmer’s field earlier this summer.

Public asked to watch for suspect An apparent serial sexual predator is prompting an intensive search by police. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The Langley RCMP are putting their entire force on alert during the search for a sexual predator who investigators believe has attacked two young women this summer. The two attacks, in June and August, took place in different parts of Langley, but the victims described strikingly similar men. Now investigators are working their way through every tip they received, with more than 100 after the first incident and about 60 after the second, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. Officers from every section of the detachment are working on the case, and every officer on the street has studied the witness sketches and is on the lookout for the suspect, said Marks. With tips flooding in, the police have compiled a list of possible traits and characteristics, created by the RCMP’s Behavioural Sciences Group, based on the attacker’s actions. They are also asking the public to keep several facts in mind, which might help identify the man. • The suspect is likely someone familiar

He may live here now, lived her in the past, or is a regular visitor, said Marks. • The suspect may have changed his appearance. This could mean a removal of some or all facial or head hair as well as dyeing it. Someone who resembles the sketch but has suddenly changed their look may be worth consideration as a suspect, Marks said. • In the first incident, the man was driving a small, newer model hatchback. In the second, he was using a bicycle. He may not own either vehicle; it is only important that he has access to them. • He may have suddenly left town.

dents involving the man that have not been reported to the police. Marks said anyone who may have been involved in such an incident should call the police, as they may have the missing piece of evidence. “This event may have even seemed insignificant to you at the time, but after seeing the sketch, you now wonder if you were very fortunate that day,” Marks said. The first attack took place on June 22, when a 16-year-old girl was abducted from a Brookswood bus stop, driven to a church parking lot on 56th Avenue, and sexually assaulted and threatened with a knife. On Aug. 20, a 19-year-old woman was walking in Douglas Park when she was attacked from behind, pushed to the ground, and threatened with a knife. The attacker assaulted her and took her purse and iPod, fleeing on a bicycle. He appeared to be wearing swimming goggles during the attack. The man is described as Caucasian, about 50 years old, 6’0”, with a heavy build, balding with grey-blond hair, and a full beard. He was wearing a blue-grey shirt and pants, and sunglasses during the first attack. Anyone with information that could assist police in any way should call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Fassbender sure of a deal The education minister expects a negotiated settlement for school staff. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Heather Colpitts/Langley Advance

Waning days of summer

September is around the corner and it’s back to work and school and regular routine. Jason and his three-year-old Renee were playing in their Langley City yard, hoping for a breeze to catch their kite.

B.C. school districts that have had financial trouble, such as Langley which has cleared up a $13 million deficit in the past few years, won’t get extra help from the B.C. government. Districts will have to find the money to cover contracts that the provincial government agrees to under its Cooperative Gains policy, according to the new education minister. Langley, through errors and overspending, racked up a $13.25 million deficit. That brought the B.C. Auditor General’s office in to oversee its finances in the past few years. New Westminster is also struggling with a deficit in excess of $4 million and the district has cut eight per cent of its workforce. Teachers and other staff can receive wage increases if districts find the money elsewhere, the province said. “I’m not going to impose anything on them,” said Education Minister Peter Fassbender.

Full parole waived for day release …continued from page A1

Motola was given two and a half years of credit for time spent in custody prior to sentencing, leaving three and a half years to be served. Although she was a youth at the time the crime was committed, Motola was sentenced as an adult, and a publication ban on her name was lifted. She was ordered released on Aug. 21, following a Parole Board of Canada hearing. In March 2009, Motola, then 17, had asked Marc Bontkes to accompany her on a drug delivery to Hi-Knoll Park in Surrey because she was afraid, and he agreed. At the park, two men were waiting to kill Bontkes over personal disputes and issues related to a dial-a-dope operation in which the men were involved. Motola had dated one of the men, Robert David Bradshaw, and was a close friend of the other, Roy Michael Thielen. Bontkes, 33, was shot dead, and Bradshaw, Thielen, and Motola fled. Motola has maintained that she knew Bontkes was going to be hurt, but not that he was going to be killed. At the time of the killing, Motola was using drugs daily and delivered drugs to

support her addiction. She was also stealing cars, breaking into cars and committing other property offences. The parole board, in its written decision, called Motola’s record “short but alarming.” While in custody, Motola has taken a number of programs and counselling, and has not used drugs for two years. Her self-management and release plan are described as well thought out, structured, and viable. The board stated her recent institutional behaviour has been “appropriate.” “You take full responsibility for your role in the index offence, and display remorse and empathy in relation to the victim and their family,” the board wrote. She is considered a moderate risk to reoffend. Motola waived full parole and applied instead for day parole. Her plan is to attend a residential treatment program, after which she will live in second-stage housing or a community residential facility. Thielen and Bradshaw are both serving life sentences for Bontkes’s murder.

Embezzler took millions

A bookkeeper’s pilfering nearly drove an engineering firm out of business. by Tom Zytaruk

Glacier Media

Ellen Norris worked at Megatech, where she committed mega theft. Now, the former Surrey bookkeeper is serving a four-and-a-half-year prison term and must repay $2,319,844.87 of the nearly $2.9 million she bilked from her former employer, Megatech Engineering Limited. Megatech, located in Port Kells, is a steel fabricating company that started in 1986, and numbers BC Ferries and several mining companies and pulp mills among its clients. Norris was in charge of the company’s payroll and had signing authority on its chequing accounts between May 2000 and September 2005. She pleaded guilty to theft over $5,000, in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster recently. Justice Robert Crawford noted her motive was “avarice; simple greed,” which drove Megatech and her 35 coworkers “right to the wall.” It was “happenstance,” he noted, that did Norris in when a Workers’ Compensation Board audit found a discrepancy between her T4 income for 2004 and the company’s payroll ledger. Digging deeper, the accountant found Norris had signed 577 company cheques

totaling $2,633.537.90 to her benefit. This included $1.2 million in payments to American Express, $371,000 to Diners Club, $48,000 to MasterCard, $532,000 to CIBC Visa, $76,000 to National Bank MasterCard and $238,000 for miscellaneous stuff. “It is admittedly amazing that there are charges of over $3,000 at various dress places,” Crawford noted. On one day Norris spent $2,880 at a boutique in Toronto and then spent $5,092 at another women’s clothing store that same day. She’d also spent “amazing amounts” on jewellery, Crawford noted. Norris’s boss confronted her after the accountant reported his findings. She confessed immediately, and was fired. “The damage to the company which apparently has some 35 employees was considerable and threw it to the edge of bankruptcy,” Crawford noted. “Ms. Norris has evidently not kept anything of value. I am left to wonder what happened to all the incredibly expensive clothing and valuable jewellery.” Norris, 64, has two adult children. She separated from her husband in 1991. “The stolen monies appear to be simply spent on herself and presumably spread around her friends and family who would appreciate the largesse. Sometimes there are food bills or restaurant bills of $1,000. It may be that others had some enjoyment but obviously Ms. Norris spent far beyond her $60,000 a year in salary,” Crawford said at sentencing.

Opinion

Ryan McAdams PUBLISHER rmcadams@langleyadvance.com

LangleyAdvance

Think about driving with time to think

If you don’t have any school-aged children, you should be thinking carefully about next week – especially if you’re planning to drive anywhere. Parents with kids who are returning to school after Labour Day – or going off to class for the first time – have been thinking about the start of the new school year for a while. They’ve been amassing a fortune in school clothes and supplies, and figuring out how their youngsters will get to school and back Email with home again… safely. Lots of parents will opt to drive their children to school, and that will mean a huge increase in local traffic around schools every weekday morning, and again in the afternoons. Lots of kids will be walking to school, creating a mass of pedestrian traffic excited about the return to school, reconnecting with friends and filled with all sorts of thoughts and ideas to distract them from the business of safely negotiating the route to school. Traffic congestion has a way of building frustration and inciting rash behaviour in drivers who suddenly realize they are going to be late for work or appointments. In some cases, it can inspire bad decisions. In an environment of traffic congested by parents trying to relearn the routine of getting their youngsters to the school’s front door, frustrated commuters finding their usual route to work clogged, and masses of kids bubbling with excitement, one bad decision can wreak havoc on many lives. If you’re driving anywhere next week, remember that, in any altercation between your vehicle and a child, the child will lose – but so will you, regardless of who’s at fault. Think about leaving for work early. And drive at a speed that allows you time to think. – B.G.

Royal Canadian Legion

Support veterans by having fun

Dear Editor, Over the past year or so, I have been glad to see calls to support our local Legion. As both the granddaughter and daughter of former veterans, and now the mother of a lieutenant colonel, I am

very aware of the incredible contribution the Legion makes not only to veterans, but also to the wider community. When calls to support the Legion go out, most people don’t know how to do so,

Syria

Money pushes towards war

Dear Editor, Here we go again. The Masters of Deception are setting up the next excuse for another war. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is warning the Syrian government that alleged chemical weapons are “unacceptable.” It was not a problem 25 years ago when the U.S. was encouraging Saddam Hussein to use those types of abominations against Iran. U..S General Wesley Clark alerted us 10 years ago that the Pentagon had seven Middle East countries lined up for future invasions, including Iraq, Libya, and Syria, as well as Iran. Iraq wasn’t enough, neither was Libya. The bankers need higher profits from their ownership of the armaments industries. The DoD needs a bigger budget. Who can resist this avalanche of money power? Bogus provocations, known as “false flag” operations, have been a proven technique since Hitler invaded Poland in 1939. We need more independence from our media, not flag waving that may lead to nuclear war. Herb Spencer III, Aldergrove

Fort Langley

Equestrian caught up in text

Dear Editor, As I was driving to Fort Langley on River Road, a horse and rider were coming from the opposite direction at a slow, even stride. As they came closer, I noticed the woman rider pre-occupied with something. Then I noticed that she was either texting or doing something else on her cell! Well, the era of early transportation has caught up with modern technology. I cannot report the errant “driver,” as the horse’s “make” was not familiar to me, no licence number visible. Should the law be extended to those kinds of offenders? Barbara Boldt, Glen Valley

other than to become a member, which not everyone wishes to do. However, little mention is ever made of supporting the Legion by attending to enjoy all the wonderful, free entertainment available at our local branch on the weekends. And you don’t need to be a member to attend. On Fridays there is an oldtime dance, 5-8 p.m. After that, any number of musicians gather to jam. Again on Saturday evening, member musicians welcome newcomers to attend and jam. On Sunday, at 3 p.m., there are musicians who jam for a couple of hours, and then karaoke is set up for anyone who wants to exercise their lungs and vocal cords. Music genres can be anything from country and western, to rock and roll or blues, or jazz, or whatever visiting musicians want to sing or play. All the entertainment is provided by volunteers, and all they need to be happy is an audience wanting to either participate or just enjoy the fun. And if you’re hungry, you can order a pizza to be delivered. So if you’re an adult who is tired of sitting at home watching re-runs, here is a great opportunity to both have some fun and support our local Legion. Just drop by at 20570 56th Ave., and ring the buzzer and come upstairs to listen or play or sing along. I guarantee it doesn’t hurt a bit to support the Legion this way. Lisa A. Hatton, Langley

ExploreVancouverIsland For those yearning for a weekend getaway, Vancouver Island is little more than 20 minutes by float plane, or a couple of hours (or less) by ferry. The Island is home to seven distinct regions, all with their own charm and appeal. Whether you long to head out for a cosmopolitan centre, a small town or a snug harbour, the Vancouver Island region has it all. For the outdoor enthusiast, there’s rugged oceanfront hiking trails, wilderness camping, big-wave surfing, mountain biking paths, wildlife watching expeditions, caving and kayaking trips that makes the Island a natural paradise. Yet, don’t be fooled by the Island’s other choice of activities – golf, museums, spectacular gardens, aquariums and government buildings – Vancouver Island is also a Mecca for those who want a variety of dining and shopping choices. Prepare yourself for a culinary adventure because the Island offers everything from international

fine dining to West coast cuisine, tempting seafood to culinary classics with an Island twist, and everything in between. Explore its great shopping with unique retail outlets selling local fashion, food, wine, crafts, art and much more. In the evening, head out for a night of fabulous live music, theatre or fine arts. Vancouver Island is a land of diversity and choices, and that includes the Island’s accommodations. There’s a home-away-fromhome that will satisfy every taste and budget. If your idea of an idyllic stay is a restorative one, the Island offers - myriad -resort lodgings, boutique hotels, major chain hotels, warm and inviting B&Bs and funky hostels. Best of all, because of the warm Pacific Ocean currents, Vancouver Island boasts one of the mildest climates in the country. Here you can ski or snowboard in the morning, have a late lunch at a beachside bistro and and play 18 holes of golf in the afternoon. There’s so much waiting for you in the Vancouver Island region in the fall and it’s all there waiting to be discovered: whether it’s storm watching from the open Pacific, a brisk walk in the cool morning air or retreating to a spa for a day of pampering. For more information about what to do and see on Vancouver Island, visit www.vancouverisland.travel.

Eateries: Hunger pains gone What’s in

Foodie Alert: More big news on the food front in Langley. It’s almost daily that we see new restaurants popping up around town. While Cactus Club Cafe, in its highly visible location on 200th Street and the Langley Bypass, is hoping to open today – or by the weekend at the very least – there are also a number of other food establishments opening up around town. Not far to the north, it appears Browns Social House is expanding – preparing to take over the old Cozas! location. Now Javed Mufti and Peter Khatkar have been operating a franchise – owned Browns restaurant up in Walnut Grove, in the Thunderbird Centre – for years. But rumour has it the new outlet will be run corporately, and expected to open early next year. Downtown, I couldn’t help but notice some action in the old Tribal Spirit Gallery space on the one-way of Fraser Highway. With Frosting Cupcakery & Bake Shop having recently relocated to the old Mad Dog Sports-turned Levi location at the corner of 204th Street and Fraser, a few other food establishments seem to be following suit.

Stay tuned for news about a White Rock company that’s expanding to Langley’s downtown. Elle’s Kitchen (www.ellesorganicfare.ca) is moving in next door to the bakery, as is Momo’s sushi.

Building for future

Speaking of food establishments in downtown Langley, I want to tell you of a success story two decades and counting. Kees Mijinke is the owner and operator of the Old Yale Bistro – on the southeast corner of 204th Street and Fraser, and he just celebrated the restaurant’s 20th anniversary. Not huge on attention or public fanfare, Mijinke keeps his head down and works, and works, and works – as any who have visited his small restaurant can attest. It’s not uncommon during the week for him to be the only person working at the bistro, whether he’s taking orders, cooking, washing dishes, serving food, or doing maintenance. And when the weekends hit, or he has a big catering order to fill, Mijinke brings in family members to help. Originally from Holland, Mijinke received his training on the very cruise ships that eventually brought him to Canada. Now 65, he jokes that he has no intention of retiring until his grandkids are trained and ready to take over his workload. It’s nice to see these maand-pa operations surviving despite the presence of more and more big name, corporate facilities.

Growers honoured Continuing on the food theme, hats off to the Krause family and their team at the berry farm. The company was selected as the favourite local upick farm in the We Heart Local Awards – run by an organization aimed at promoting buying locally and eating naturally. In the same awards, Driedigers Farms earned first runner up, while Langley Community Farmers Market earned market accolades.

yree Corfe’s keen sense of humour caught the attention of the selection committee, but it was her resilience and agility that allowed her to declare supremacy in Wednesday night’s newest episode of Splatalot! Being picked to be part of the YTV television game show was a highlight of this 15-year-old Otter resident’s young life. Though she filmed the episode, Laundry Day, during the summer of 2012, she didn’t see the episode until the rest of the world did this week. The Grade 10 D.W. Poppy student said she was inviting “some of my closest friends over for a pizza party.” “I’ve always been interested in medieval fantasy genres and thought it would be cool to go on the show,” she told the Langley Advance. “Seeing people my age getting slimed, falling in water, getting a good ‘ole sucker punch. It’s the obstacle course for people my age.” Splatalot!, which also airs in the United States on Nickelodeon, is an outdoor, physical game show where teenagers invade a fortress, try to outdo a cast of outlandish defenders, and race each other through a giant medieval-themed obstacle course. Corfe landed the spot after submitting funny, attention-grabbing photos

ute of it.” For Tyree, it was an opportunity to compete in one of her favourite shows and be shot out of a catapult. She recounted being “super pumped with adrenalin running through my veins” the entire time. While it was a daunting challenge that took two days to film, she said she was able to dive in and swallow her nerves by reflecting on wise advice given to her by her basketball coach, Albertine Fowler. The best part: “Racing against time, hoping I made the next round,” she said, also noting how “cool” it was to meet a couple actors between filming and to become “awesome friends” with some of her fellow contestants. The worst part: “I ended up hitting my mouth on a large spike, that hurt a lot.” The results: “I won! Yes I won the Crown of Splatalot, although I didn’t actually get to keep the crown, I won an iPad.” What’s next: “I would love to do more game shows,” Tyree said.

with her application. Tyree and her mother Christine Blair embarked on an “adventure of a lifetime” last summer that saw them travel to medieval castles in the remote Ontario countryside, where the Langley teen battled, escaped the stockade, and performed feats of strength, smarts, and bravery to beat out nine other contestants. Filming for the show is done on a secret set in a remote area, so for Blair that meant renting a car, travelling through maximum security property, then leaving her youngest child to duck projectiles, dash past weapon-wielding foes, and navigate huge, slippery, moving obstacles. “The parents couldn’t get that close to the set, but in parking lot you could tell your child from their screams,” laughed Tyree’s mom. “She was bruised, banged, and cut up. She came back with ‘war scars’ and was barely able to get out of bed the next day,” said Blair. “From a parent’s perspective you get a little nervous, but Tyree loved every min-

BESIDE SAVE ON FOODS IN ALDERGROVE

Z E R O W A S T E I N I T I AT I V E The Aldergrove Business Association is spearheading a Zero Waste initiative geared toward the Aldergrove Business Sector. Businesses and institutions alone generate approximately one-third of the garbage within the Metro Vancouver region, making them one of the four priority sectors. This current sector currently diverts about 44% of that waste generated from landﬁll or incineration. The ABA is working toward helping provide information to local Aldergrove businesses regarding the upcoming 2015 landﬁll ban on Organics. As part of our Zero Waste initiative we

are supporting sixteen local businesses through a nine week pilot project diverting organic waste from the landﬁll. Each of the businesses have undergone a waste assessment and have been provided a variety of tools to ensure compliance with the upcoming 2015 changes. Each week during the pilot, each of the participating businesses will have their organics weighed by ABA staﬀ, will have their weekly weights recorded and their organics removed from site at no cost, thus diverting the organics from the

THE PARTICIPATING BUSINESSES: Aldergrove Credit Union, Aldergrove Return it Center, Bob’s Bar N’ Grill, CIBC, Cranky’s Bike Shop, Crompton’s Auto Care, Diamond Bar Equipment, Extra Foods, EV Logistics, Fraser Valley Treasures, Laurel Accounting Services, Marlin Travel, Milseans Shoppe, Newport Heather Inc, Otter CO-OP

Langley-born songstress plans future Grey Cup Having released her debut album, Sophia Danai is looking forward to a career in the music industry with her soulful sounds. by Ronda Payne

orn and raised in Brookswood, Sophia Danai was constantly singing or looking for a way to entertain others. “I’ve always been singing,” the musician said in a recent interview with the Langley Advance. “I was always singing, always performing.” It wasn’t until a few years ago, when the now 25-year-old hit about 20, that music became the chosen path. She’d spent time exploring theatre and other performance options. “I was probably about 20 when I recorded my first ever demo. That won’t ever surface,” she noted with a laugh about her ear- Langley native Sophia Danai has launched her debut album Wishing Well. liest work. “I was acting, but I felt this pull towards in a positive way,” Danai music.

Describing Wishing Well as the result of “Obviously I have been influenced by Chin wanting to create an eclectic record, Danai

recognizes the sounds throughout the album vary, ranging from the soulful Lauryn Hill-, Kathleen Edwards-, or Macy Grayesque sounds to an almost rap sound at the end of the album. Several of the songs feature other artists. “I’m very happy with the end result,” she commented. “It’s my first real release.” With family and friends still in the Langleys, Danai comes back on weekends to visit and enjoy her hometown. “It’s hard to stay in Langley when you’re dong things in the arts,” she noted. “You need to be close to the city, but it’s nice to be able to go back to where you grew up.” Although just starting out on her professional music career, Danai sometimes gets the sensation that she’s been at it for much longer. “It feels like I’ve been doing it a long time,” she said, “but it feels like a new beginning. Now it feels like the beginning.” Next on the singer’s to do list is touring and another record. “I want to tour. I’d love to do a North American tour. I’d love to tour Europe as well. That’s a big dream of mine,” Danai noted. “I just want to get the music out to as many people as possible. I want to create music for myself and others that’s genuine, authentic, and thought provoking.” Find out more about Sophia Danai and where she will be performing next from her website at www.sophiadanai.com.

Spartans slip past Seattle

Trinity Western enters the regular season following an undefeated exhibition slate.

The Spartans will open the Canada West regular season Sept. 6 when they travel to play Fraser Valley followed by a trip to Victoria for a match Sept. 8. On Tuesday, first-year Spartan and Langley resident Elie Gindo opened the scoring in the 15th minute, but the Falcons evened the score line in the 70th minute when Sean Russell found the back of the net. The Falcons outshot TWU 13-8 and had six shots on goal to the Spartans’ three. “I think it was good match in the sense that we got everyone into the game,” Spartans’ coach Pat Rohla said. “I think in the first half we were fighting it a bit but in the second half we saw a few good things from some young players. I’m not excited about how we played, but I’m happy to finish on a winning note.” After a less than inspiring first few minutes from both sides, Gindo got things rolling for TWU when he notched his first goal of the pre-season and first in a TWU uniform. The 6’5” striker took a through ball pass from Dominic Reinold and in alone, chipped a low shot

Trinity Western University striker Jarvis Ambaka’s timing was spot on Tuesday afternoon at Rogers Field. Ambaka pounced on a rebound in the 90th minute and buried his opportunity to lift the Spartans men’s soccer team to a 2-1 pre-season win over visiting Seattle Pacific University. After a long free kick from Andrew Phillips produced a huge rebound off the hands of SPU keeper Shamele Battan, Ambaka, who was recently named the NCCAA offensive student-athlete of the week, made no mistake on his chance, hammering the ball in from six yards out for his fourth goal of the pre-season. The win improves the Spartans pre-season record to 2-0-2 and, for the second straight year, TWU will enter the Canada West regular campaign following an undefeated exhibition slate. Last year, TWU went 4-0-1 in five pre-season tilts.

to the left corner that beat thenSPU keeper Cody Lang. The Falcons’ best chance of the first half came off the foot of Russell. In the 21st minute, the SPU midfielder broke free down the right wing, but his effort from the top of the box sailed wide right. Just two minutes into the second half, Seattle Pacific nearly tied the game when Ian Grissom had a chance from 15 yards out, but TWU ’keeper Evan Lowther made a diving save to preserve the goose egg for the time being. After numerous forays into the Spartans’ box, the Falcons finally broke through when Russell stepped around a charging Lowther off the left flank and slotted the ball into the vacated net. That ultimately set the stage for Ambaka’s heroics.

Trinity Western University goalkeeper Nathan Lowther jumped up to snag the ball in front of Seattle Pacific University’s Stephen MacDonald during exhibition men’s soccer action Tuesday at TWU’s Rogers Field. The Spartans edged the visitors 2-1. Scott Stewart photo/Trinity Western University Athletics

Rams’ fourth-quarter comeback goes for naught

The Rams nearly clawed back from a 29-0, fourth quarter deficit against the host Okanagan Sun on Saturday.

led the club with four tackles and a sack while Alex Agnoletto also had a sack.

Fourth quarter heroics aside, Kirby hopes the Rams learned a valuable lesson about putting the

required work in through four quarters of football. “We can’t take anything for granted,” he said.

The Langley Rams flatlined for three quarters of their B.C. Football Conference game against the host Okanagan Sun Saturday at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna. Suddenly, down 29-zip, they sprang to life, scoring 28 unanswered points during the fourth quarter. But time combined with the fact they trailed 220 at halftime ultimately ended up being the Rams’ undoing as they fell 29-28. The loss dropped the Rams record to 4-1. The Sun improved to 4-1 as the two teams share top spot in the BCFC standings. “We had a heck of a slow start,” Rams head coach Ted Kirby said. “I won’t take anything away from Okanagan. I won’t make an excuse, that’s for sure.” On a positive note, the Rams can use their 28point quarter and subsequent near comeback as motivation heading into their bye weekend. “I’m real proud of our guys and how we did not give up,” Kirby said. “I just wish we could have shown up in the first quarter and not in the fourth.” Rams’ quarterback Jahlani Gilbert-Knorren was a key factor in the late surge. While two of his passes were intercepted, GilbertKnorren ended up completing 23 of 43 passes for 290 yards and one touchdown. He did most of his damage on the ground, running the ball 11 times for 83 yards and three touchdowns. “Our quarterback put our team on his back and almost led us to victory,” Kirby said. Rams receiver Jacob Carvery had easily his best game with a game high 12 catches for 142 yards. Carvery’s efforts would earn him the McKinnon Career Coaching Player of the Game honours. Langley receiver Malcolm Williams hauled in five passes for 70 yards, while Spensor Farbatuk’s lone catch was for a 30yard touchdown. The Rams “D” forced two interceptions as Joe Lester and Tanner Hamade picked off passes. Nate De Rappard-Scott

Rams return to McLeod Stadium after three straight on road …continued from page A31

When the Rams play to their potential, they are a “scary team,” Kirby said. A loss puts things into perspective and helps dispel the notion that the Rams are invincible. “We’ve had some pretty lopsided victories and if you have to take a positive out of it [the loss], it shows the kids what it’s like to lose,” Kirby said. “It’s a terrible feeling. Hopefully we won’t have that feeling again.” But again, the head coach gave

full marks to a very good Sun team. “They came out to fight and we didn’t,” he said. “I won’t take anything away from what they did. They put points on the board and put us on our heels, and we fell short.” For the Sun, quarterback Theo Deezer completed 17 of 32 passes for 299 yards. He also threw three touchdowns, as well as two interceptions. Among his three rushes was a touchdown scamper. Deezer’s favourite target was

Tommy Howes, who made eight catches for 94 yards. Zach Regert caught four balls for 96 yards and a 65-yard touchdown strike, while both Jesse Kendall’s catches resulted in touchdowns. On the ground Alex Bradley returned after an injury and carried the ball 14 times for 51 yards. Defensively the Sun was led by Landon King who made

seven tackles, and picked up a fumble. Robbie Yochim and Brennan Van Nistlerooy both had interceptions, leading to offensive scores. Saturday’s game was the Rams’ third straight on the road. They last played at their home park, McLeod Stadium, way back on Aug. 3 when they trounced the Westshore Rebels 69-10.

R OAD S AFET Y

Kirby said football is football, no matter who you are or where you play. “I won’t make any excuses,” he said. “Everyone has road trips and every team loves playing at home… We’ve had three games away and we’ve also won two of them so it’s really no excuse.” Those same Rebels (winless at 0-4) make a return visit to McLeod Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 7. Kickoff is 4 p.m.

KEEP YOURSELF SAFE THIS LABOUR DAY LONG WEEKEND – DON’T DRIVE DROWSY It’s the last long weekend of summer and for many, the last chance for a getaway before schedules get busier and school returns. But the hot summer weather we’re experiencing and long drives can be a dangerous combination that can cause driver fatigue. In a recent ICBC survey, an alarming 30 per cent of respondents admitted that they have nodded off while driving and 43 per cent admitted to driving while feeling fatigued in the last year. Fatigue slows a driver’s reaction time, decreases awareness and impairs judgment. Even a slight decrease in reaction time can greatly increase your risk of crashing especially when travelling at highway speeds. Many people will stay up late this Thursday to pre-

pare for their long weekend trip and, even after working all day on Friday, plan to drive a long distance to their weekend getaway. To reduce your risk of driver fatigue, be organized and don’t leave your preparation to the last minute so that you can get a good sleep the night before you leave. It’s also important to know the route you’re going to take so you can plan to stop at rest points along the way. Try to take a break from driving every two hours on long road trips and avoid driving during the night when you’d normally be asleep. If you do begin feeling drowsy, pull over as soon as you can safely do so. Get out and walk around to get some fresh air. If that’s not enough, pull over to a safe area, turn off your car and take a nap.

ICBC’s survey also found that 63 per cent of respondents open windows or turn on air conditioning or a fan to keep themselves awake while driving. These are not effective strategies. The only cure for sleepiness is sleep. We don’t often sense the degree of our own fatigue when we’re driving.
