Mother yearns to re-unite with son A refugee from a brutal war is trying to bring her only son to Canada. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Harriet Kamara just wants to bring her son to Canada. The Langley woman came to Canada as a refugee more than a decade ago, and has spent her time building a new life. She has supported herself as a hairdresser, working her way up to managing a local salon. Every month, she’s sent money home to relatives in Sierra Leone, a country still recovering from a brutal civil war – she’s been helping to put several relatives through school. But when she fled the chaos of war, Kamara had to leave her Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance son in the care of relatives.

October 26, 2013

A 94-year-old man was killed in a collision Monday in Walnut Grove, Langley’s third traffic fatality of the year. At about 11 a.m., police say a Nissan Sentra was headed south on 204th Street and turned right onto 88th Avenue, colliding with a Dodge pickup truck. The 94-year-old, driving the Sentra, was taken to hospital with critical injuries and

died later that evening, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The 43-year-old man driving the pickup was not hurt. There were no other occupants in the vehicles. Witnesses to the crash told police that the Sentra drove through a red light without stopping, said Marks. The Langley Traffic Section and the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service are still looking into the causes of the crash, and both vehicles have been sent for mechanical inspections. Anyone who saw the crash and has not spoken to the Langley RCMP should call them at 604-532-3200.

A motorcycle rider crashed directly in front of an RCMP officer trying to pull him over for speeding on the weekend in Langley’s Glen Valley. On Oct. 13, the officer had pulled over a speeder in the 25900 block of 88th Avenue, east of Fort Langley, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The officer heard the roar of motorcycle engines coming from the west, and used

his handheld laser unit to clock them at more than 130 km/h in a 60 km/h zone, said Marks. The officer waved the three bikers to the side of the road, and two of them came to a stop without any problem. The third rider, less experienced than his friends, went into a skid of more than 50 metres long before letting go of his motorcycle, said Marks. The rider suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene by BC Ambulance paramedics. He did not have to be taken to the hospital. The riders, aged 22, 23, and 24, and all Abbotsford residents, had their bikes taken away. The three Harley Davidsons were impounded for seven days at the expense of the owners, and all three men have been given $368 violation tickets.

Every October, the cranberry, and in particular a oneday festival that celebrates the tart seasonable berry, are a mammoth draw in Fort Langley. Parking anywhere near Glover Road proved to be difficult Saturday during the annual Cranberry Festival at the Fort. Sections of Glover Road and its arterial streets were closed to traffic to accommodate the thousands of people who attended the event that included vendors, musicians, displays, children’s activities, canoe races along the Bedford Channel, and 7,500 pounds of cranberries donated by Ocean Spray for the event. As well, Sky Helicopters offered aerial tours of local cranberry bogs.

Violence

Teen stabbed in fight started over stolen bong

An argument over a stolen bong escalated to punching and stabbing in a school yard. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A Langley teen was stabbed and a Surrey boy is facing charges after a brawl over a stolen bong on Oct. 11. The police became aware that something was up around 8 p.m. when residents around James Kennedy Elementary called to report a large group of teenagers was gathering on the school property. When police arrived to check it out, the group scattered, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. Once police left, the group apparently gathered again. This time, a fight broke out between two of the participants. As far as police could reconstruct events, a 16year-old from Surrey and an 18-year-old from Langley argued over a bong which had been stolen more than a week previously. Marks said the 16-year-old then allegedly brandished

a knife. The 18-year-old tackled the younger boy and punched him in the head, and was in turn stabbed in the back. Once the group realized what had happened, they began chasing the boy with the knife. Alerted to the fight, police arrived again and arrested the Surrey boy.

A three-vehicle crash blocked a major rural Langley road early Wednesday and through the rush hour. The crash involved a tanker truck, a tractor trailer, and a Jeep Cherokee, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. None of the drivers was injured. At about 2:30 a.m., one of the vehicles was heading east on 64th Avenue and collided with the other two, which were heading north and south on 232nd Street. The driver of the truck told officers he was trying to inch forward into the intersection, as he couldn’t see very far in the dark and fog. The other two vehicles slammed into the first truck. Langley RCMP kept a portion of 232nd Street blocked off Wednesday morning as the trucks were taken away. Fog and darkness were thought to be factors.

he had started a relationship with a woman who had two teenage sons. Deacon’s last release was in August 2011. He has breached five times. Most recently, the longterm supervision order was suspended on Aug. 12, 2013, after he breached three of his special conditions: having no direct or indirect contact with any child under 16 unless preapproved by his parole supervisor, not attending places where children under the age of 16 are likely to be, and not having access to the Internet. Deacon is considered a high risk to reoffend sexually and violently. “Satisfied that no appropriate program… would adequately protect society” from him, the parole board recommended the criminal charge, and that the requirement that Deacon reside in a facility to which he must return nightly be extended for 180 days.

He has breached his 10-year long-term supervision order more than 15 times since his release in 2004, according to the Parole Board of Canada. After serving a threeyear sentence for sexually assaulting an eight-yearold boy in an Aldergrove Dairy Queen washroom, followed by another two years for having a 10-yearold boy in his room at his halfway house while on parole, Deacon was released into the community in November 2004. From then until May 2006, despite being monitored by a personal escort, Deacon’s long-term supervision order was suspended at least four times. Between August 2006 and December 2008, Deacon’s release was suspended on at least eight occasions. In December 2008, his release was suspended after he failed to report to his parole supervisor that

B.C. titleholder displays fortitude outside ring A local boxer is winning his biggest battle away from the squared circle. by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

There was a time, not too long ago, when Matt Lee didn’t treat his body like a temple. The Matt Lee of a few years back used his body like a one-star hotel room in Cancun over spring break. He polluted himself, clouded his senses, with drugs and alcohol. Those self destructive days are in the rear view now, hopefully for the rest of his life. Boxing helped save the now 28-year-old from his addictions. “I fell in love with boxing the first time I came into a club,” Lee said. He says he has “a lot of reasons” for first taking up the sport, at 17 years old. “One reason was, I start-

ed partying as a teenager,” he said, “and I experimented with hard drugs. The moment I walked into a boxing gym I knew I had to clean my act up.” Langley City Boxing trainer Dave Allison and his son Jamie helped guide Lee on the path to sobriety. “Dave saw my determination,” Lee said. “He took me under his wing. All we did was talk boxing. We boxed endlessly. He gave me a lot of encouragement.” Jamie is now Lee’s trainer, and the two are close friends. “They’ve always been there for me, through the worst times of my life,” Lee said. Jamie said Lee has made a lot of progress. “He’s great,” the younger Allison said. “He’s really easy to work with, he works hard, and he listens.” At 20, Lee stepped away from boxing to pursue his career as an industrial

Township

Land deal disputed The Township paid $2.7 million for land valued at $1.5 million. by Kent Spencer

Special to the Langley Advance

Langley Township spent $2.7 million acquiring a piece of land in 2012 that Trinity Western University had received for free. And according to the assessment at the time, the township spent 80 per cent over the assessed value for the 20.5-hectare piece of land at 7645 Glover Road. The deal raises a lot of questions, particularly so for Langley taxpayer Dennis Townsend, who has spent months trying to figure out what went on. Townsend is so adamant it was a bad deal that he hired lawyers, pored over official papers and spent $1,000 on a newspaper ad expressing his concerns. The land parcel is covered with blackberry bushes and criss-crossed by streams and gulleys. The township says it bought the property with the intention of making it into parkland. The property is located across the street from Trinity Western University, and is part of the area the township plans to expand as a university district. On May 14, 2012, the 23-hectare property on Glover Road was owned by Hugh and Sharon

Langley City received a $10,000 cheque from the provincial government for being one of the most business-friendly municipalities in B.C. On hand for the receipt of the cheque were, left to right, Langley MLA Mary Polak, City Councillor Teri James, Naomi Yamamoto, minister of state for small business, and Acting Mayor Ted Schaffer. After handing over the cheque, Yamamoto visited some local small businesses on Fraser Highway. The money will go to benefit City programs for businesses.

Little. Hugh Little is a North Vancouver businessman who has served on Trinity’s board of governors and with Trinity’s charitable foundation. The next day, the land was subdivided into two sections. The larger, parklandzoned section was transferred by the Littles to Trinity Western University for just $1. Trinity then flipped the property to the township for $2.7 million later the same day. The end result was 20.5 hectares of parkland for the township and 2.5 hectares of student-dormitory-zoned land which the Littles retained. The inflated purchase price caught the eyes of appraisers at B.C. Assessment. Trevor Brown, senior appraiser with B.C. Assessment, rechecked the figures for The Province. “Our assessment is accurate. Langley’s purchase price was significantly above the assessment (of $1.5 million),” said Brown. Township property manager Scott Thompson said “independent appraisers” were used to determine the property’s worth. The price was determined by averaging three appraisals, said Thompson, who believes “the sale was at market value.”

Policy keeps working for the greater harm

Again, the federal Conservative government has charged blindly into ideological battle with a decision to deny heroin to Vancouver addicts involved in a clinical research project. The government’s decision came shortly after Health Canada approved the program, which deals with addicts in life threatening situations for whom previous therapies have failed. In this case, the strategy clearly fell under the heading of harm reduction, which generally acknowledges addiction as a health issue rather than a criminal one and seeks to reduce the harm created by it and by recognizing that eliminating the problem is often not possible. Stephen Harper’s Conservatives are not fans of harm reduction. They have fought health authorities repeatedly on the issue, most notably challenging the existence of Vancouver’s supervised injection site, despite evidence that it has reduced harm to some of our most vulnerable citizens. Medical science has consistently backed up harm reduction as a sound philosophy. But the Tories have never been particularly interested in scientific evidence, much preferring ideological crusades. It’s a pattern that’s been repeated by the Tories in all areas where science has yielded a result that likely won’t appeal to its base of political supporters. “The answer of course is not to treat heroin addiction with heroin,” said Health Minister Rona Ambrose at a press conference in Toronto. “Our goal must be to take heroin out of the hands of addicts. We must focus on treatment and ... on recovery,” There is, of course, no logic to this particular decision. The fact that the study participants are all long-term chronic addicts who have failed to respond to other treatment would indicate they will be taking heroin regardless. The only difference will be whether that occurs in a safe, controlled setting or on the streets. – Glacier Media

Digital dementia in evidence

Dear Editor, Sometimes truth is stranger than sarcasm. Mr. Groeneveld [No such thing as smart phones, Oct. 1 Odd Thoughts, Langley Advance]. In South Korea, one the most digitally connected nations in the world, doctors are researching young people who have become so reliant on electronic devices that they can’t remember everyday details like their phone numbers. Medical professionals are using a term, “Digital Dementia,” coined by German psychiatrist Manfred Spitzer. “Digital Dementia” does not have the same poetic ring as Mr. Groeneveld’s “phantasmagorical radiosonic infrapositional positronic ether-borne IQ-reducing quantum phlegm,” but it could go a long way towards explaining why he feels his smart phone is making him stupid.

There is a small cost to manage contractors, so if you doubled it, it would still only cost Hydro 68 cents to have a meter read. And those costs have always been included in our electric rates. Hydro claims it has to install additional telecommunications equipment to work around customers with old meters. That’s hooey, as only four per cent of meters are not transmitting data. Hydro claims of modern benefits are bogus. What nerds among us are so infatuated with a smart meter they will waste their life monitoring the digital spin of their hourly electricity in prime time? Smart meters are 24-hour transmitting snoop devices data-mining/profiling your personal energy use habits with the main future purpose of charging you more for high-usage times of day.

Manage Stress Naturally

What’s in

Long table funds kids’ wishes

By Karen Jensen, ND

Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenal glands. When excess stress overloads our adrenal glands symptoms can include: fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal symptoms and inﬂammatory conditions.

The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula

Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement. AdrenaSense® is the original solution I formulated for patients and others who have found it very effective.

The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; as well as provide vital energy.

Secondary Suite Licencing and Utility Fees – Reduced Rate Application Deadline: December 31 Township Council adopted a number of bylaw amendments on March 4, 2013, authorizing an annual secondary suite licence fee of $350 and an additional 30 per cent in water and sewer utility fees (where applicable) for property owners with a secondary suite.

If so, the Township of Langley’s website at tol.ca can help.

A phasing-in strategy was also adopted to provide a graduated fee schedule for owners of existing authorized suites, where building permit applications were submitted for the secondary suite on or before March 5, 2013.

The reduced annual fee of $175 will be in effect for the first three years unless the property is sold. Secondary suites that qualify for the reduced rate program will not be charged the additional 30 per cent utility fees until July, 2014. The deadline to qualify for the three-year reduced rate for property owners with existing authorized suites is fast approaching. Letters have been issued by the Township, reminding secondary suite owners who received building permit applications before March 5 to take advantage of the three year reduced rate by submitting their application and payment before December 31, 2013. Unlicensed suites will be proactively enforced and property owners who do not bring unauthorized secondary suites into compliance with Township bylaws and the BC Building Code could be fined up to $500 per day until compliance is obtained.

Wishes made to come true for sick children

…continued from page A12

Now, last year’s event raised a cool $12,000 for Make-A-Wish, which is equivalent to the cost of making two children’s wishes come true, said BMW general manager Aly Jiwani. He noted the average dream costs between $6,000 and $7,000 per child. The fundraiser is a “unique experience you won’t find elsewhere,” he said. “The Charity Long Table event will bring highly acclaimed Okanagan long table dining right to the automotive retail environment…” A cocktail reception starts at 6, followed by dinner from 7 to 9:30 p.m.

Thursday, October 17, 2013

Provided there are seats still available for the fundraiser – which also includes a silent auction – tickets are $95 each and available at 604533-0269 or www.bmwlangley.com.

Dog inspires teachers books A pair of Langley teachers has brought two books to life based on the antics of Vinnie, a rescue puppy. by Ronda Payne

news@langleyadvance.com

innie is something of a naughty dog. That naughtiness has paid off in helping Langley resident and local teacher, Chantelle Saumier, achieve her dream of becoming a children’s author. “I always wanted to write children’s stories since I became a teacher,” she noted in an exclusive interview with the Langley Advance. Her wish became a reality in two books so far: Vinnie! Star of the Show and Vinnie! The Hurricane. Obviously the two-year-old husky-shepherd puppy gave Saumier lots to write about. “We adopted Vinnie,” she explained. “We have a cabin in Ontario, so for three/four weeks in the summer we go. We came across him at a farmers market in Ontario.” Saumier noted it was a non-profit organization that had dogs up for adoption at the market the day the whole family took the trek from the cabin. “We went in with two [dogs] and

When Vinnie started his puppy-style antics, Saumier began writing. There was plenty to write about, given Vinnie’s ability to get into trouble. “He does, constantly,” she said. Saumier found the ideal illustrator at her own school. Student teacher, Vanessa Steunenberg, who is now a staff teacher in the Langley district, was the right illustrator for Vinnie’s stories. “It worked out perfectly,” Saumier said of the partnership. The duo is hosting a book launch on Saturday, Oct. 26 from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. at Douglas Park Recreation “When you’re reading to a child… Centre they are still, they are engaged.

eter Luongo will have a front-row seat for this Saturday’s first big hometown concert since he retired as director of the Langley Ukuele Ensemble. But to ensure the veteran ensemble leader stays in his chair, his son Paul – the group’s new director – is threatening to install a seatbelt. “This is going to be a very different experience for him,” said Paul, excited to be hosting a concert in honour of his father. For several years now, the ensemble has held a Ukulele Masters in Concert each fall featuring music by senior members of the ensemble as well as alumni. “But this is a special one because it’s going to honour my dad for his 32 years of devotion to the ensemble,” Paul explained. Admittedly, Paul added, he’ll actually going to let his father out of his seat for a limited time, asking him to join the ensemble on stage on last time. He’ll turn over the conductor’s baton to Dad again, for a few last numbers – what he calls Peter classics like the Hungarian dance. In addition to Peter Luongo’s brief appearance at the concert, ensemble alumni including internationally acclaimed uke artist James Hill, and the Exit 58 trio of Laura Warren, Chris Parsons, and Kendra Simonetto will also be performing. The show will be emceed by education minister Peter Fassbender and Loungo’s daughter Lisa Smith. Tickets for the Oct. 19 concert are available through the ensemble box office at 604-340-UKES (8537) or online at www.langleyukes.com. The show begins at 7:30 p.m.

Halloween

Masquerade gala brings independence to seniors by Ronda Payne

he 26th might feel a bit early to don a costume, but those who do will be up for some great prizes at the Langley Lodge’s masquerade fundraising gala. A partnership has even been struck

with local costume and clothing shop that could prove fun and profitable for the lodge, said fundraising director Patrick Matiowski. “We have a great relationship with a local company called Hallowville Manor,” noted Matiowski. “Anyone who chooses to rent or purchase a costume through them for the gala, 100 per cent of the purchase price goes back to Langley Lodge.” Of course it’s not a requirement to wear a costume to the Oct. 26 event at Cascades Casino’s Summit Theatre, but with prizes for the best costumes up for grabs, it would be downright spooky not

to, Matiowski said. “It’s not mandatory [to be in costume],” he said. “But we’re encouraging it.” Ticket prices range from $100 per person for floor seats to $150 per person in the group/VIP section – which provides a few additional treats for party-goers. Everyone will be treated to a four-course dinner and live entertainment. There is also a raffle, with tickets already on sale for a trip for two to any scheduled WestJet destination plus $1,000 for accommodations. “The raffle tickets are on sale now,” said Matiowski. “They will sell right up to 10

They will be available to chat about their experiences at the lodge as well as have some fun interacting with others. All funds raised go towards activities at the lodge, which supports seniors who many not be able to walk, bathe, or use toilet facilities without assistance. The lodge also provides numerous activities to meet the interests of residents. To find out more about the masquerade gala or to buy tickets, people can call 604880-6752 or drop in to the lodge.

len Valley artist Barbara Boldt is a teacher and a painter, and one of B.C.’s most respected artists. But more importantly, Boldt is a mother. She has a strong bond with her daughter, but that doesn’t make her unique. It’s the way she keeps connected to her daughter, Dorothy Forbes, who passed in 2000, that makes her extraordinary – and their connection eternal. Through a new-themed series of evolving paintings entitled Daughter’s Eyes, Mother’s Hands, Boldt lovingly honours Forbes’s life through oil on canvas. And that tribute, in part, will be on display during Boldt’s fall open house this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 19 and 20, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at her studio, 25340 84th Ave., Langley. Also an artist, Forbes took photos of the beauty she saw in the world, and after she died, Boldt inherited her daughter’s photographs. Daughter’s Eyes, Mother’s Hands, begins with those images from Forbes’ collection, glimpses of the beauty she saw in the world. “This is one of my mantras with my students,” said Boldt. “Paint what you see, because two people looking at the same thing see something different; we are very individual in what we see.” She said it “is very important” to her. “And this is why I love doing my daughter’s

Led by the vocals of Billy Mendoza, Debby Low, and Tina Zambrano, they will deliver an accurate portrayal of the famous group, spanning four decades of Grammy winning music. The singers will be backed up by veteran players

including a horn section. Hit songs they’ll cover include Reelin’ In the Years, Rikki Don’t Lose That Number, Peg, FM (No Static At All) Hey Nineteen, Deacon Blues, Black Friday, Bodhisattva, Do It Again, Haitian Divorce, My Old School, and Midnight Cruiser.

CANADA’S PREMIERE ONLINE GUIDE TO THE GOOD LIFE

Email a photo of you holding the Advance to: travellers@langleyadvance.com

Four Questions with Elizabeth Hurley Anya Georgijevic

October marks the national Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and no brand has been more crucial to the fight against the disease as Estée Lauder, in its relentless campaigning and fundraising over the last two decades. The exquisitely beautiful Elizabeth Hurley has played a vital part in the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign since signing as the company spokesperson back in 1995. Intelligent and articulate, Elizabeth Hurley gave us an update on the company’s crusade against the agonizing disease, and even found time to give us a couple of valuable beauty tips. You’ve been an Estée Lauder spokesperson for almost two decades -- a rare thing in this industry. When you signed in 1995, did you think it would become a role of a lifetime?

Kim and Katherine Morgan took their Langley Advance with them to Turkey in June, arriving five days after major demonstrations in Istanbul and Ankara “which started presumably over the removal of some trees in a park in Istanbul,” Kim reported, adding that the demonstrations were different from the Arab spring of 2012 in other parts of the Middle East. “We were a little apprehensive at first, but experienced no issues whatsoever. The people were very friendly and the sheer diversity of the country, its history, and hundreds of well-preserved ancient ruins made this a must country to experience. Oh, and I’ve never eaten so much watermelon in my life!” Just behind the Advance (right photo) is the Blue Mosque in the historic Sultanahmet district of Istanbul, with the Sea of Marmara in the background. Above is an ancient Roman theatre in Hierapolis in the south of Turkey.

THANK YOU TO OUR GENEROUS SPONSORS!

I couldn’t have dreamt it. I think my initial contract was two years. I was thrilled beyond belief when it was picked up again, after two years. It’s really been like having a second family. You’ve personally been affected by breast cancer; you lost your grandmother to the disease. Was that one of the reasons why you’ve been so passionately involved since the beginning? When Evelyn [Lauder] told me about her campaign, during my first two or three weeks at the company, I suppose my ears did perk up a bit more because of my grandmother. It was so sad the way she hadn’t told anybody about her lump, for the very reasons Evelyn went on to explain why she was doing the campaign. Because she said, “women are dying all over the world and nobody is talking about it.” She was so inspired by the AIDS activists, who, at that time, were very active. You also live and promote a healthy lifestyle, as part of the breast cancer prevention. Can you tell us a little bit more about that? I love living in the countryside, and I’ve always loved feeling healthy. Evelyn Lauder always said to me, “Don’t put on weight. It is not good for you in any way. Not because you won’t look as good, but it could be dangerous for your health.” It’s great for us that doctors and research scientists are now speaking out and saying that they really do believe that we can make a difference by following a healthy lifestyle. They know that we really have to go out of our way to deliberate exercise. I know I don’t step up so much on that one. I’m very active, but I don’t really do exercise regime, and I should. Eating-wise, I’ve eaten pretty well in the last 30 years, so I feel okay in that aspect. What are the goals of this year’s “Let’s Defeat Breast Cancer. We’re Stronger Together” campaign? We know we’ve succeeded in some way with the awareness, and we’ve helped raise a huge amount of money. The Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign itself has raised $48 million US dollars, most of which they’ve donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, also started by Evelyn Lauder, which has raised nearly half a billion dollars for research. What we’re trying to do this year is encourage people to get together and make a difference themselves. Small scale, big scale: it doesn’t matter. It might be getting a couple of your friends together, and all of you making a pledge to do something about it. It’s all about our “Circle of Strength” and all of that can be seen on BCAcampaign.com, and as well as Facebook, which you’re all on, so no excuses!

NEW SUSHI RESTAURANT DOWNTOWN LANGLEY!

Heather Jenkins of 1 Fish 2 Fish.

Wild • Sustainable • Chemical Free

Langley’s 1 Fish 2 Fish Fresh Seafood Market has become an institution in the downtown, delivering up sustainable seafood for the last 15 years. Laid out in the store are everything from Atlantic scallops to squid, frozen fish to freshcaught, whole fish to chunks of smoked salmon; as well as a number of frozen ready-made meals. Owner Heather Jenkins said the store was the first fish market in the Lower Mainland to get A Proud Ocean Wise Partner the Ocean Wise designation and jump fully aboard the program. Like similar programs, Ocean Wise is aimed at letting customers know that their seafood was harvested sustainably, whether through harvesting in the oceans or through inland farming. “We’re about 98 per cent

Ocean Wise,” said Jenkins. Those items in the store that aren’t Ocean Wise are typically covered under another classiﬁcation, such as that of the Marine Stewardship Council. What is available in the store is usually the same, with a small amount of seasonal variation, but if you don’t see it sitting on the ice, don’t think you can’t get it. The store has ordered everything from whole octopus to luteﬁsk for customers in the past, and gets deliveries six days a week, said Jenkins. Jenkins loves that she’s been able to build her business in Langley over the last decade and a half. “I love it here,” Jenkins said. “I wouldn’t want my business anywhere else.” This November, patrons and

fans of seafood will be able to sample a wide array of tasty seafood, along with some wines and craft beers, at the fourth annual Sip and Slurp event. On Nov. 14 from 6:30-9:00 p.m., the store will be celebrating the Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise awareness month with oysters and other treats. Wines will come from the Kalala Organic Estate Winery and 3Cru Wines, both B.C. varieties; in addition to our very own local brewer, Four Winds Brewing. Local chef Sean Bone will be whipping up some special snacks. Tickets for the event are $39 and will be available at 1 Fish 2 Fish starting on Oct. 22.

The president of Bell Lifestyle is using the tea himself with a kidney function increase from 45% to 61% in 2 months and guarantees that the tea works or he refunds your money.

each generation.” Her paintings of Tangles and Glory are a visual retelling of the “staggering message” of 2 Corinthians chapter 12 – that Christ’s power is made perfect in weakness, and weakness can be a resting place of God’s glory, Auxier said. Her paintings explore the beauty found in discarded nature or bits of yarn. “These objects evoke metaphors of human weakness being used for extraordinary displays of God’s glory,” she said. “The layers, as they become obscured, changed, or sanded off, mirror the way God’s word becomes living in every breath of a life lived on earth.”

Self Interpreting Life is the blacked-out bibles of Doris Auxier’s solo art exhibition.

Trinity Western University professor and artist is exhibiting her work this month at the faith-based institution. Doris Auxier, an associate prof with TWU’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture, is exhibiting a two-part solo show at the school until Nov. 1. Taken from two separate series, Auxier’s works explore God’s influence and conversational presence in human life. In Self Interpreting Life, Auxier started with the 1899 four-volume set of the selfinterpreting Bible.

“I was inspired by the suggestive title,” Auxier said, “and turned the Bibles into a visual commentary on the increasing rejection of scripture as a text of reliable truth or as reflecting God’s incarnational and redemptive actions.” Through the process of blacking out everything that isn’t a verb, Auxier left behind nothing but activity – all narrative that helps establish meaning is lost. “As I worked with the text in this way, it became a record of generation after generation of activity without story or meaning,” Auxier explained. “Reflecting on what existence would be like without God, I was left with a gutted text reflecting a long death march of

he King family has much to be thankful for this month, with Brookswood thespian Ellie King being presented with a lifetime achievement award for her contribution to the arts last week, and her stand-up comedian son Simon back on stage at the Rickshaw Theatre on Saturday, his show being filmed as part of a documentary. The matriarch of the Stand-up comedian Simon King King household was honoured Oct. 8 as one of Surrey’s Civic Treasures during the 10th annual business and arts reception emceed by actor Jackson Davies. Humbled by the accolades, Ellie said she was moved to tears by the distinction. Consumed by the entertainment world long before reaching pubescence, Ellie started in ballet at age two and made her stage debut in a British pantomime by age three. Now, with more than 20 years of writing, producing, and directing pantos throughout Metro Vancouver, this British “dynamo” is responsible for creating vivid holiday memories and traditions for a whole generation of local audiences and performers first as artistic director for the Raymond Burr Performing Arts Centre and more recently as the founding director of the Royal Canadian Theatre Company – based in Surrey.. In addition to last week’s honour, Ellie was recognized in spring 2012 for her leadership role in the arts, receiving accolades from the Surrey Board of Trade. Still working alongside her husband Geoff and their youngest sons James and Simon, Ellie – nicknamed locally the queen of panto – continues her tireless efforts to profile the arts. Just days after Ellie was on stage accepting her accolades, her son Simon stepped onto the Rickshaw stage in Vancouver for a rare local appearance. Currently Simon is the subject of a documentary being filmed about life as a stand-up comedian: the film will culminate with clips including some from the packed house at his Furious show on the weekend. With a long list of credits including HBO, CTV, TBS, The Comedy Network, CBC, SIRIUS Radio, the Winnipeg Comedy Festival, and Just for Laughs in July, Simon admits he could have chosen to record his latest special anywhere, but he picked something close to home in Vancouver. His show packed the Hasting Street venue.

Artists serving up Blue Plate Special as fundraiser A limited number of $200 tickets ensure buyers a chance to own an original piece of art. by Tracey Rayson

news@langleyadvance.com

f one thinks of art as food for thought, it’s a perfect meal – fulfilling and satisfying, stimulating the senses with a fusion of colour and texture, like a Blue Plate Special, a little something for every taste. That’s exactly what Fort Langley’s Fort Gallery annual fundraiser, The Blue Plate Special gala, aims to accomplish with inspiration and creativity through original contemporary work, music, food, and silent auction. There are a total of 40 $200 tickets sold for the event, which is open to the public, Friday, Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. with proceeds to benefit the innovative, artist-run Fort Gallery.

During the event, held inside the historic Fort Langley Community Hall, those 40 ticket numbers will be drawn at random, awarding the first ticket holder their choice of artwork created by one of the gallery’s artists. The owner of the next ticket drawn will choose from the remaining art, and so on, explained gallery manager Tim Fraser, who noted each piece is guaranteed to be worth more than the ticket price. There are also $40 tickets available, which offers admission and access to all the evenings’ festivities. However, Fraser explained, buyers of those tickets are excluded from the random art draw. Local artist Elaine Brewer-White returns as master of ceremonies, plus Lavalights return with their smooth styling blend of swing, soul, and R&B. Tickets can be purchased from the Fort Gallery in person or by calling 604-888-7411, Wednesdays to Sundays, noon to 5 p.m.

The annual Blue Plate Special fundraiser at the Fort Langley Community Hall in the heart of the village helps support the cooperative gallery.

Zombies walk village

ecked out in their best zombie wear, fake blood, and gruesome flesh wounds, they’ll be looking for brains. Yes, zombies are invading Fort Langley! The first-ever Zombie Fest Walk, hosted by Fort Langley Studio, takes place Saturday at 1 p.m. Watch for the “zombies this way” signs posted along the route. The walk begins at the new studio and continues down Glover Road to Mavis Avenue and back to the Glover Road studio’s haunted gallery. “We’re promoting this as a family-friendly [pet friendly, too] event, so kids can have fun without the tears,” said studio owner Curtis Zondag. “We don’t want anybody to get too scared.” For anyone looking for a zombie makeover, Special FX makeup artists will also be on site starting at 11 a.m. to transform people with gruesome details. This service is offered by donation to a youth artist fund. “There is a prize for best costume and an art contest for teens, so we’re pretty excited,” said Zondag. “There should be some fun yet creepy things.” Following the walk, people can still stagger their bloodied selves through the studio’s ghoulish haunted gallery – which will be filled with creepy horror movie-type art until Oct. 31. “So far, our Facebook page indicates 60 participants, but… we’re hoping it will be really big – maybe 100 or more.”

Pumpkins not just for Jack-o-Lanterns

on’t you just love the autumn harvest? The feeling of a crisp breeze in the air, the sound and sight of rustling leaves in a rainbow of colours, and a plentiful array of gourds, squash, and pumpkins available at the produce counter! Pumpkins are one of the more popular harvests this time of the year. Walking through suburban neighbourhoods on Halloween night and gazing at all the eerily lit creations sitting in windows and on front porches can make one hungry – at least, it does me! As a food, pumpkin is quite neglected in our everyday diets. Although the bright orange fruit of the pumpkin plant is approximately 90 per cent water, it is loaded with beta-carotene (an important antioxidant) and a list of nutritional elements that play an important role in a well-balanced diet. Pumpkins, as members of the squash family, are fruits. Any product of a plant containing seeds is botanically classified as fruit, just like melons, for example. Squashes are closely related to the melon family of plants.

There are two main general types of squash: summer and winter squash. Summer squashes, such as the popular zucchini, are not able to be stored for long periods of time. Winter squash, on the other hand, can be stored for long periods of time, under ideal storage conditions. They should be kept away from light and in an area that is moderately cooler than room temperature. Good ventilation is also necessary. Along with pumpkins, other winter squash are acorn, butternut, and autumn squash. Pumpkins are most popularly used as jacko-lanterns on Halloween night, as well as in various recipes of pies, cakes, and soups. Rarely does one see pumpkin served at the table on its own. Pumpkin can be used in any application that would be used for other winter squashes, and undeniably will offer more flavour to the dish. Cubes of oven-roasted pumpkin, in a medley of other colourful vegetables,

are a perfect accompaniment to an autumn meal. Alternatively, try using small chunks of pumpkin in your next stir-fry or pasta dish. To make preparation easier, cut the pumpkin into workable pieces to aid in peeling and chopping. Winter squashes should always be peeled before consuming. Their tougher skin is often challenging for the tradition-

ole beans don’t get blight. But potatoes do. The past two summers have been so warm and dry, it’s been easy to harvest good crops of potatoes. But in a normal year with sporadic rain, many potato plants have blight by the beginning of August. Peppers can get late blight, but usually don’t. Eggplants are also said to be susceptible.

Both the flesh and the seeds are edible. The seeds are sometimes forgotten, and discarded along with the rest of the innards. But they are easily roasted, transforming them into a nutritional snack. Separate the seeds from the inner filaments, and lightly coat them with vegetable or olive oil. Toss with salt and pepper – or seasoning salt – and roast them on a baking sheet in a 450ºF oven, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Be careful to watch them closely, as they burn quite easily. Serve them in a bowl on their own

In the Garden by Anne Marrison

Blight is a fungal infection that blows into gardens on rainy winds or splashes up from infected soil. It thrives on wet foliage. That’s why the usual advice is to grow tomatoes under cover: in greenhouses, or outside under polyethylene tunnels or under south or west wall roof overhangs. Keeping tomato plants dry stops blight and enables you to grow almost any tomato you wish, including heritage varieties. But not everyone has cover available. People with no shelter for tomatoes can get good harvests outside by growing blight-resistant tomatoes. When their roots are in natural soil, tomatoes grow quickly and produce massive crops. The oldest blight-resistant variety is the large-fruited ‘Legend’ which is sometimes sold as a transplant in garden centres. Breeding of blight-resistant tomatoes is conventional (not GMO). The newer blight-resistant varieties can be grown from seed. Gardeners who start their own transplants can harvest big crops of tomatoes by summer’s end. Blight on those varieties starts very late and moves very slowly. Blight-resistant varieties I grew this year include the cherry tomato

‘Mountain Magic,’ the paste type ‘RomaVF,’ and the beefsteak type ‘Defiant.’ Only recently have the seeds become commercially available, and not everyone has been offering them. This year I bought mine online from Veseys (www.veseys. com). Grown outside, tomatoes are somewhat later to ripen, but quantities are immense, and with blightresistant tomatoes, the plants are still producing when blight-stricken tomatoes have given up. By the end of September, all my tomatoes were black with blight on the older stems but still had fresh green new stems. By mid-October the new stems were still blight-free, and so was the remaining green fruit which had to be ripened inside. Tomatoes are easy to freeze (just wash them, dry them, and drop them into a plastic bag). Once frozen, their skin lifts off easily under hot, running water. Dear Anne,

“I recently planted some black calla lilies. Do I have to remove the bulbs before frost? Or can I leave them in, like the white calla lilies?” Maureen, via email ll the coloured callas must be overwintered inside. They’ve been hybridized from a more tender species than the large-flowered white calla. Reduce watering to dry out the rhizomes. Then overwinter them inside in dry peat moss or vermiculite, in a cool, frost-free place. The hardiest of the white calla lilies (Zantesdeschia aethiopica ‘Crowborough’) can flower outside in sheltered spots near the coast, and sometimes several miles inland. But the further east you go, the more mulching it needs to get reliably through the winter.

or with a mixture of other seeds, nuts, and dried fruit. Pumpkin seeds are credited with a number of healthy properties, and are a great source of numerous minerals. However, due to their high fat content, they should be consumed in moderation. A serving size of nuts or seeds is equivalent to about the size of a golf ball.

Dear Chef Dez:

We always buy cans of pureed pumpkin this time of year, for different dessert recipes. Since pumpkins are available fresh, wouldn’t it be more economical to make it myself? How do I go about doing that?

It can be done quite easily. Cut a fresh pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and the stringy filaments. Place the cut sides down on a baking sheet and bake in a 350ºF oven until the flesh is very tender – approximately one hour. Spoon the cooked flesh off the skin and into a food processor and puree until smooth. Transfer it to a large, fine-wire mesh strainer set over a bowl, cover, and let drain in the refrigerator overnight.

Langley student stars in TWU satire

hat do you get when you bring together a long-lost father, and a head-strong daughter, a womanizer convinced that he’s really fallen in love this time? You never can tell, but there’s bound to be fireworks. Just ask Langley’s own Audrey Herold and Cloverdale’s Mark Fleming, two locals among those bringing this explosive combination of love, family, and fireworks to the university stage later this month. Trinity Western University is presenting the George Bernard Shaw classic Victorian satire You Never Can Tell to the stage next week. The play is set in a quiet seaside

resort that is turned upside down by the most laughable of family reunions. Between Mrs. Clandon’s shocking ideas about women’s rights, and her rowdy twins who never stop talking, the family is quite a lot for their longlost father to handle. But it’s the unexpected romance between the ice-queen’s eldest daughter and her womanizer dentist that really gets sparks flying. “So much of what happens in any family is actually hilarious – even when it’s a serious situation – and what I love about Shaw is how he takes everything to the extreme,” said Fleming, a Clayton Heights Secondary grad now in his final year

of TWU’s acting program. “It becomes this comedy of errors, full of romance, and confusion and chaos. And playing a father who’s right at the centre of this whirlwind, I just have to give a shout-out to all you parents out there – I don’t know how you do this full-time, every day of your lives, but you have my utmost respect,” Fleming added. You Never Can Tell will be on stage between Oct. 22 and Nov. 1, with evening shows at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, as well as a 2 p.m. matinee at Saturday. For more information on the production, or for tickets, people can visit the website at www.twu.ca/theatre.

TWU’s latest comedy is an explosive combination of love, family, and fireworks and stars Langley’s Audrey Herold and Cloverdale’s Mark Fleming.

Savvy homebuyers are using it to make more informed purchasing decisions. The New Homes Registry provides free access to find out if a home has a policy of home warranty insurance and is built by a Licensed Residential Builder, or whether it’s built without home warranty insurance. Homebuyers can obtain valuable information such as the name and contact number of the warranty provider, the builder’s warranty number and whether an ownerbuilt home can be legally offered for sale. Every new home built for sale by a Licensed Residential Builder in British Columbia is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance. Better known as 2-5-10 home warranty insurance, this coverage includes: two years on labour and materials, five years on the building envelope (including water penetration), and 10 years on the structure. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada. For free access to the New Homes Registry visit the Homebuyers section of the HPO website.

Seniors share love of performing arts Because We Care… Being retired doesn’t mean quitting work – not to a group of Lower Mainland seniors. In 2001 they formed an entertainment group, The Vaudevillians, to have fun. They soon felt they needed a more meaningful purpose, so they decided to raise money to support youth in the performing arts hoping to keep live theatre alive. They incorporated as a non-profit organization and joined forces with Douglas College to establish a bursary for their performing arts students. They also worked with the Arts Council of Surrey to establish a scholarship in honour of Fran Dowie, a well-known old time Vaudevillian, who performed with them before his passing.

A message from

In 2004, with trepidation, they rented the Surrey Arts Centre. There had been no reason to worry. Two weeks prior to opening, they were sold out. This year marks their 10th anniversary. They have raised more than $100,000 to date, and 20 students have been presented with bursaries or scholarships. This year they will perform on Nov. 9 at 2 p.m and 7:30 p.m. Performing with them will be eight year old Tyson Venegas. He was presented with a scholarship by the Vaudevillians as the winner of the B.C. Junior Talent contest. All tickets are $20, available at the surrey Arts Centre box office by calling 604-501-5566.

Tyson Venegas, eight, will perform with the Vaudevillians this November.

NUTRITION HELPERS FOR SENIORS PART 2

Teunis Schouten, B Cared For Owner

Last month we talked about nutrition helpers in our community. While much is available in Langley seniors still need to follow healthy guidelines. Here are some tips to make sure your body engine stays tuned up and has lots of fuel. Enjoy a variety of foods • Eat variety of cereals, whole grain bread, vegetables and fruit. • Choose low fat products, lean meat with little or no fat. • Limit salt, alcohol and caffeine. • Only use a little (6-8 tsp) oil, margarine each day. • Limit fried food to once a week. • Eat fresh fruit as a snack. • Choose a variety of ﬁsh, poultry and lean meat. • Eat no more than 90 grams of meat each day. • Choose low fat dairy products. Sometimes living alone makes preparing a meal a bore. As a result good nutrition can be neglected. If cooking isn’t fun anymore why not invite a companion from B Cared For to visit and make a meal. They’d love to. Why? Because they care.

Rams eclipse Sun to earn spot in Cullen Cup final Langley held the host Okanagan Sun off the scoreboard during the second half en route to a BCFC semifinal victory in Kelowna. by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

With Thanksgiving behind them, the Langley Rams have much to be thankful about. Most notably, the Rams can thank one another for an efficient, professional performance on both sides of the ball during the B.C. Football Conference semifinal against the Okanagan Sun. The junior Rams punched their ticket to a third consecutive Cullen Cup (BCFC final) appearance after an impressive 24-13 win over the Sun at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl on Sunday afternoon. One of the key plays came very early on, during the Sun’s opening drive of the game. After the Sun drove the ball all the way to the red zone, Rams defensive back Joe Lester GreyStoke Photography picked off a pass at the Langley Langley Rams ball carrier Dan English found a bit of open space against the Okanagan Sun during the B.C.

They have to prepare for a Vancouver Island Raiders team that has handed them two of their three losses during the regular season. For the third time in as many years, the Rams and Raiders will play for the Cullen Cup. Last year, the Rams upset the Raiders 20-13 at Caledonia Park in Nanaimo en route to a spot in the Canadian championship. The Rams return to Caledonia this Saturday, Oct. 19, with the BCFC title on the line. Opening kickoff is 1 p.m. The Raiders from Nanaimo finished on top of the BCFC with an 8-2 record; the Rams finished third at 6-3. The Rams have proven they can beat the Raiders, posting a 36-28 at Caledonia in their third game of the season way back on Aug. 10. Since then, the Raiders have reeled off eight straight wins, including a pair of victories over the Rams, 41-27 Sept. 14 at Caledonia and 22-12 Sept. 28 at McLeod Stadium. The Vancouver Island squad is coming off a 63-7 pounding of the Kamloops Broncos in the other BCFC semifinal played on Sunday. “We’ve got to improve, even on what we did last weekend,” Kirby said Tuesday. “We take pride in what we did, but it’s over. Now we set new goals. We’re facing the No. 1 team [in the league] and we’re going into Caledonia Park, which is a tough place to win. We’ve got to play a 60 minute, physical football game. We’re going to have to match them and play a little bit better.” Kirby added, “It’s playoff football. We have to leave everything on the field and finish off every series. We can’t take a play off.”

Weekend wins stretch Rivermen’s unbeaten streak to six Langley sits on top of the BCHL Mainland Division. by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

The Langley Rivermen are the hottest team in the B.C. Hockey League.

Heading into last night’s home game against the Chilliwack Chiefs (results are not available due to Wednesday afternoon press deadlines) the Rivermen had won six in a row, and boasted a 9-3-0-1 record, putting them on top of the BCHL’s Mainland Division. Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson said team defence has been a factor in his team’s recent success.

“I think it’s been a huge part of it,” Henderson said. “We’ve really taken care of our end first. From the goalies on out to the defencemen, we’ve been solid, and our forwards are getting their job done.” Last weekend, the Rivermen defeated the Coquitlam Express and Surrey Eagles by identical 3-1 scores. Henderson said both games were tough tests.

“We struggled to get things going there in Coqutlam,” he said. “On Saturday, the Surrey team played much improved from the previous week [a 5-1 Rivermen win on Oct. 5]. They came out and tightened things up defensively. They didn’t give up a whole lot early on and we had to work for [the win].” continued on page A38…

Bears down previously unbeaten Falcons Pablo Wigwigan ran for more than 100 yards while North Langley’s defence clamped down on Abbotsford. The North Langley Bears are the first junior bantam team this year to find a way to ground the high flying Abbotsford White Falcons in Valley Community Football League play. And they did in impressive fashion. The Bears beat the previously undefeated Falcons 30-16 in perhaps their most impressive performance of the season. The Falcons scored early but North Langley was quick to respond. After quarterback Jacob Stebbings connected with Connor Hurley on a 20 yard pass-and-run, Pablo Wigwigan took the ball 31 yards on a draw play to even the score. Wigwigan ended the day with more than 100 yards on the ground and scored two of the Bears’ four touchdowns. Stebbings ran for a touchdown as well as throwing for another on a one yard pass to Alex Henderson. Hurley ended the day with three catches for 56 yards while contribut-

Charlie May was a perfect threefor-three kicking converts before an injury forced him from the game. The Bears’ defence struggled early but kept the Falcons off the scoreboard during the entire second half. A fumble recovery by Brodie Tarling in the third quarter was a turning point in the game, from which the Bears never looked back. The win improved the Bears’ record to 5-2 on the season. The Bears have a chance to move into second place if they can beat this same Abbotsford team in a rematch next week in Langley.

North Langley flag Bears The Bears flag division squads visited Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford for games this past weekend. Langley Red was successful in winning its first game, 2-1, against Abbotsford Red, with Ben Evans scoring one touchdown, while Ethan Harcourt posted an interception and scored the second major. In its second game, Langley Red tied Abbotsford Blue 2-2, with Ben Evans and Reece Fennell both scoring touchdowns. Aeden Ennis was strong at centre throughout the game. Langley Yellow won its first game, 2-1 over Abbotsford Blue. Jesse Davison made a stellar pass to Rylan Middleton, who then ran it across the line for a touchdown. A second touchdown was scored by Jesse Davison. In its second game, Langley Yellow dominated against Abbotsford Red, winning 3-0. Tyson Craig was a key player as he scored all three touchdowns and had one interception. The Bears’ defenders did a good defensive job, stopping two separate runs for potential touchdowns at their one and two yard line, respectively.

…continued from page A37 Rivermen 3, Coquitlam Express 1 Friday at Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre, Rivermen forwards Nathan Craft and Kevan Kilistoff scored 2:03 apart early in the third period to snap a 1-1 tie. After Kilistoff made it 3-1 Rivermen at the 3:57 mark of the final frame, Langley’s defence held firm the rest of the way to secure the victory. Six minutes into the game, sophomore Austin Azurdia scored his teamleading seventh of the season on a Rivermen powerplay to put the visitors ahead 1-0. Coquitlam’s Bo Pieper tied the score on an Express man advantage at the 8:41 mark of the sec-

After a scoreless opening period, Surrey’s Mitchell Fyffe scored 4:51 into the second frame to give the Eagles a 1-0 advantage. Midway through the stanza, Langley’s Jakob Reichert tied the game with an even strength marker. Rivermen captain Mitch McLain scored the winner on a powerplay at the 4:04 mark of the third period. Then, with eight seconds to go in regulation, Craft deposited the puck into the empty net to seal the victory.

Desperate for the tying goal, the Eagles pulled goalie Bo Didur from the net for an extra attacker. After last night’s game against the struggling Chiefs (As of Wednesday afternoon, Chilliwack sat at the bottom of the Mainland with a 1-7-1-1 mark), the Rivermen have a pair of home dates this weekend. On Saturday, they host the Penticton Vees. Game time is 7:15 p.m. at the LEC.

The Rivermen’s matinee game against the Prince George Spruce Kings Sunday at the LEC has a 2 p.m. start time. The Rivermen are piling up wins recently, and Henderson wants to keep that momentum going. “One game at a time” is the Rivermen’s mantra this season. “As cliché as it is, that’s exactly what were doing,” Henderson said. “We’ve got Penticton coming in, and they’ve obviously been one of the top teams in the league, every year. And Prince George is probably the hottest team in our [Mainland] division right now.” He added, “We’re heading in one direction and we’re not looking back. We’ve seen the last couple of years, here, how quickly the standings can flip. We’re not taking anything for granted. Our mind set is to win every game.”

University women’s soccer

Spartans post perfect weekend TWU is unbeaten in its last eight games. Paced by Natalie Boyd’s two-goal effort, the Trinity Western University women’s soccer team capped off a perfect weekend in Alberta as it earned a decisive 5-1 win over Lethbridge Sunday afternoon. Along with Boyd’s two goals, the Spartans (6-1-3) received a major contribution from Krista Gommeringer, who finished the game with a goal and three assists, as TWU picked up its fifth straight win and second in as many days after beating Calgary 1-0 Saturday. The Spartans also got goals from Alessandra Oliverio and Caitlin Haines, while Kim Shellenberg responded for the Pronghorns, who are still winless at 0-92. Following Saturday’s win over the Dinos, the Spartans put the ’Horns on their heels early, and with Gommeringer’s goal in the eighth minute took complete control of the match the rest of the way.

By the end of 90 minutes, the Spartans had directed 21 shots towards the ’Horns’ net, while holding the Lethbridge attack to just seven shots. After starting the year 0-2-1, the Spartans are now unbeaten in eight matches, going 6-0-2. With two games to play, TWU sits in fifth place in the Canada West standings and is three points behind second place UBC and Victoria and five behind first place Alberta. The Spartans will finish the regular season Oct. 18-19 when they host Alberta Friday and Mount Royal Saturday at TWU’s Rogers Field. “We’re really pleased that we came to a place that can often be a difficult place to get a result and earned a win,” Spartans coach Graham Roxburgh said. “We started well and executed well. I thought Nat Boyd was probably the player of the game with her work rate. Her ability to distribute and the fact that she got on the scoresheet twice was impressive.”

Spartans edge Wuhan hosts in thriller

Golden Eagles The Langley Eagles won the Tier 4 division during the Abbotsford Minor Hockey Pee Wee Ice Breaker Tournament last weekend. The Eagles finished with a perfect 5-0 record during the tournament and beat Seattle AA in the final by a 4-3 score. The team is coached by Dan Renaud and Phil Wasmuth.

The Trinity Western University men’s basketball team opened its goodwill tour of China with a surreal game against the Wuhan University of Technology. Playing in front of a boisterous crowd, the Spartans edged Wuhan 9594 on a last second basket by TWU forward Anthony Ottley. “In all my years of coaching I’ve never been in a game like that,” TWU head coach Scott Allen said. “We didn’t do a good job of closing out and making them take tough shots, but we battled against the odds and found a way to get the win.” The Spartans held a solid 31-21 lead at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter the Spartans found themselves in foul trouble as Wuhan out-scored them 24-14 to tie the game up at 45-45 after 20 minutes.

Trinity Western started the second half strong and quickly took control, moving ahead 59-46 three minutes into the third quarter. However, Wuhan kept hitting threepoint shots and were able to climb to within one point, trailing 65-64, with 2:40 remaining in the quarter. The Spartans looked like they would walk into the dressing room with a seven-point, 73-66, lead after Ottley hit a layup at the buzzer. But the officials deemed that the buzzer had sounded before the shot and disallowed the basket. During a wildly entertaining fourth quarter, an offensive foul and a gift layup gave Wuhan the lead, 86-84, with 2:45 remaining. TWU’s Taylor Heinrich tied the game at 86-86 on a short jumper at the 2:20 mark. The teams went back-and-forth,

exchanging tough baskets and deep three-point shots to see TWU leading 93-91 with 27 seconds remaining. With six seconds remaining the Wuhan student crowd was sent into a frenzy after the home team hit a deep three-point shot to take a 94-93 lead. Then, TWU quickly in-bounded the ball and raced down the floor. Ottley drove the right side and hit a driving lay-up with just over one second remaining to give the Spartans a 95-94 advantage. Wuhan was unable to get a final shot off as the buzzer sounded to give TWU a one-point victory.
