Township of Langley Firefighters’ Charitable Society ( TLFCS ) showed its support by holding out boots this past weekend. Each year, the Fill the Boot campaign raises awareness and funds to help “make muscles move.” On Sept. 19 and 20, firefighters from all seven Township fire halls were out, boots in hand, to collect $36,291.66 in donations for the national association drive. Donations will go towards buying mobility equipment, providing support services, and funding research to help people living with neuromuscular disorders.
Immigration
Court rulings have not freed Figueroa It will be a year in October that Jose Figueroa has been claiming sanctuary in Langley. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Nearly a year after he claimed sanctuary in a Walnut Grove Church, Langley’s Jose Figueroa is tired but remains hopeful that he will be allowed to stay in Canada. Figueroa came to Canada as a refugee from El Salvador in 1997 with his wife. His children, born here, are Canadian citizens. Yet since the early 2000s, Figueroa has been fighting to stay. The issue is his membership in the 1980s of the FMLN, the Frente Farabundo Marti para la Liberacion Nacional. In that decade, the FMLN was fighting against the former military regime of El Salvador. Figueroa helped

recruit but was not involved in the armed conflict. Since the conclusion of the civil war, the FMLN has become a legitimate political party, and presently rules El Salvador after the country’s last election. However, Canadian immigration officials and the Canada Border Services Agencey (CBSA) have claimed that Figueroa can-
not stay in the country because they consider him a former member of a terrorist organization. On Oct. 4 last year, faced with a deportation order, he moved into the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church, and he hasn’t been outside since. “If I step outside of the church, they will make an arrest,” he said. He spends his time work-
ing on his case, reading up on immigration law on the church’s computer, and spends the weekends with his visiting wife and children. He takes part in church services and activities inside the building, such as weekly zumba classes. “It is very frustrating, I tell you,” Figueroa said. “I haven’t even gone in the backyard,” he added. However, it’s better than being in a detention centre, waiting to be sent back to Central America. “I wanted to avoid the separation of the family,” he said. Figueroa has been trying to convince the government to allow him to stay on compassionate grounds, and simultaneously to force them to admit that he was never a terrorist. His most recent legal battle concluded on Sept. 2, but still has not resolved the situation for the former refugee claimant.

Ringette
Stopper B.C.’s last line of defence
The Canada Winter Games provincial ringette team – including local residents Sarah MacDonald and Kerri Lucas-West – is gathering in Langley this weekend for a training camp.
Goaltender Sarah MacDonald and assistant coach Kerri LucasWest, both from Langley, are part of the Canada Winter Games Team BC ringette team that is taking part in a training camp this weekend in Langley.
by Troy Landreville
tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
Team BC goalie Sarah MacDonald is clear-headed and focused as she counts down to the 2015 Canada Winter Games (CWG) ringette competition. This wasn’t necessarily the case last April during the 2014 Canadian national championships in Regina. That’s when the 16-yearold, who is in Grade 11 at R.E. Mountain Secondary, suffered her first ever concussion after being accidentally run into by a U16 player from Team New Brunswick. “My helmet flew off, and I got taken down, and my head hit the ice,” MacDonald said. She didn’t lose consciousness and finished the game, but soon afterwards packed it in for three weeks while recovering from symptoms that included nausea and dizziness. With the concussion (and the baggage that came with it) behind her, MacDonald is joining fellow Team BC members at a weekend-long training camp that gets underway Friday at the Langley Events Centre with two hours of fitness testing in the facility’s gymnasium. Team BC – which will go for gold at the CWG ringette tournament at the Prince George Coliseum from Feb. 13 to March 1, 2015 – will then be on the Langley Sportsplex ice this Saturday for a 1 p.m. exhibition game against the National Ringette League (NRL) B.C. team. MacDonald is part of a family that has ice in their veins, so to speak.

“Before games, that feeling of being nervous… I like that,” she said. Offering guidance from behind the bench is assistant coach Kerri Lucas-West, the other Langley resident with the CWG team. Lucas-West has three daughters, Maureen, Jessica, and Jennifer who played ringette growing up. The three sisters and their mom now play together on a local over-30 team. “I joined in 1989 in the sport and coached my three daughters,” Lucas-West said. She went on to coach at nationals numerous times, and will be coaching in her third Canada Games this February. Team BC was more than a year in the making. MacDonald was one of more than 100 athletes who auditioned for the CWG team, which after a series of tryouts, was pared down to 18 players to make up Team BC. The team is made up of six players from the Lower Mainland, eight from the Okanagan area, and four from the Northern region. “We’re bonding really well as a team,” Lucas-West said.

City wants dogs and digs
More community garden plots and an offleash dog park are in the planning stages for Langley City.

by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
The northern side of Langley City could soon have a place to play fetch with Fido or dig in the dirt for fruits and vegetables. An open house on an off-leash dog park and community garden was Sept. 18. “That’s part of the reason for this [open house], to see that there is a demand,” said Rick Bomhoff, the City’s director of engineering. City staff are suggesting Dumais Park, Michaud Park, Linwood Park, or Douglas Park. Only Linwood has the space for both a dog park and a community garden. The other sites would be one or the other. Dumais does not have any space for parking but Linwood, Michaud, and Douglas all have parking at the park or on the street. This area of the City is becoming more densified

Len Walters, Langley City’s superintendent of parks operations, showed the promixity of Linwood Park and Michaud Park on the maps used at the open house on community gardens and the off-leash dog park. so the council directed staff to look at amending parks for other users. “It’s multifamily,” explained Kara Jefford, the City manager of engineering services. “They don’t have yards.” Based on the popularity of the Nicomekl Community Garden, by the elementary school, the City has decided to add spaces. It was started around 2004 and its 16 plots are always snapped up with a waiting list. The City does maintenance and supplies the bulk materials. For the new community gardens, the goal is to have users or a group have more control.
The City has a dog park in Brookswood. Jefford said residents in other areas may not want to drive there and some seniors with dogs can’t. City bylaw enforcement finds people letting dogs off leash in other parks where it’s not allowed. The results from the open house and any other public submissions will be reported to council for a decision. The material from the open house, such as maps of the four parks, are available through the City website. The public survey is posted. People have to early October to complete it to voice an opinion.

Education
Teacher disciplined for ‘gay’ prank by Susan Lazaruk
Special to the Langley Advance
Langley shops teacher Daniel Mark Ofloff has been stripped of his teaching certificate for two weeks for speaking disrespectfully to a student and for ridiculing another in class with a homophobic prank. The same teacher had been
given a warning in 2011 for making “inappropriate” comments to Grade 7 students, according to an agreement issued by the B.C. commissioner for teacher regulation. As a prank, Ogloff, a metal fabrication and machining teacher at Aldergrove Community Secondary school, in September 2013 placed a piece of masking tape on the
back of the jacket of a male Grade 11 student with the words “I’m gay” written on it. “Ogloff then gestured ‘shhh’ to the students after putting the tape on and pointed at another student and mouthed words to the effect, ‘It was him.’” Students were laughing and taking photos. “Ogloff considered this to be horseplay,” said the report.
Ogloff had served a 10-week suspension without pay and was ordered to participate in a “restorative action” with the student and mandatory mentorship with another teacher and to complete courses required by the district. “Ogloff disputes the appropriateness of this discipline,” according to the report.

Police want to identify four people from home invasion
The police are looking for a woman and four men in relation to a home invasion. by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
The police were able to obtain surveillance material showing people wanted in connection with a home invasion that took place on Sept. 8. The Langley RCMP has released photos in case the public can help identify the people in them. The home invasion took place at an apartment building in the 5600 block of 201A Street. At about 3:15 a.m., the victim responded to a knock at his door and opened the door to a young female. “Once the door was opened, three males forced themselves into the apartment,” said RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. “The victim was ordered to be quiet and instructed to sit in a chair. One of the suspects struck him several times leaving a mark and swelling on his face. The victim was held at knife point while the remaining suspects rummaged through
the foyer of the building. Investigators would like the public to view the attached still photographs to assist police with identification of the suspects.

Figueroa still living in church …continued from page A1
On Sept. 2, Justice Luc Martineau refused to grant a writ that would force the federal Minister of Public Safety to issue a certificate stating Figueroa is not a “listed entity” under the criminal code. Listed entities include terrorist groups like Al Qaida, Boko Haram, and the Taliban. The FMLN is not on the list. Martineau refused to grant the writ, but reaffirmed that it was because neither the FMLN nor Figueroa have ever been “listed entities.” It was the second time this year that a judge has affirmed that Figueroa was not a member of a terrorist organization. In May, judge Richard Mosley ruled that an immigration official’s classification of Figueroa as a security risk was wrong. Mosely said that decision “failed to take into account the nature of the conflict and Mr. Figueroa’s personal role as a non-combatant political advocate.” Mosely ordered that a different immigration officer review the application, and compared the FMLN to the African National Congress during its fight against apartheid-era South Africa. “The Canadian government still recognizes the FMLN as a democratically elected government,” said Figueroa. He said that, while other Salvadorans in Canada have run into similar issues, there are thousands more who were FMLN members but became permanent residents or citizens. Despite the court rulings, the deportation order remains in force. Legally, CBSA officials could come into the church, but in this and several other cases across the country, they have held off from violating the old tradition of sanctuary. Now Figueroa is looking at fundraising for more legal challenges. He has already seen $4,000 in bills on his recent court challenge.

Arthritis pain in the pocketbook …and elsewhere
September is Arthritis Awareness Month. No, wait! This does have everything to do with you. For one thing, you don’t have to be “old” to suffer from arthritis. Kris Harrison, 39-year-old poster boy for this month’s Arthritis Society awareness campaign, was diagnosed with arthritis when he was three years old. Even if – young or old – you haven’t got arthritis, a few numbers might help to bring you closer to an understanding of how seriously it affects everyone… including you. With about one in six adult Canadians suffering from arthritis, it’s likely that, even if you don’t have it yourself, it’s probable that someone close to you does. That one in six is expected to increase to one in five over the next 20 years or so. There is no cure, and apart from a few drugs – some of which are downright dangerous (the fact that people resort to them at all is a solid indication of how devastating the pain caused by the disease can be) – there’s not much in the way of mitigating treatment. Arthritis hits often, and it hits hard. The Arthritis Society points out that, among all causes of disabilities in Canadians, arthritis ranks first among women and third among men. Two out of three Canadians affected by arthritis are women. And nearly three out of five are of working age. And if you still think, because you don’t have arthritis yourself, it doesn’t affect you directly, consider this: arthritis costs the Canadian economy about $33 billion each year. And within one generation – that’s when by the time your kids are as old as you are now – that cost is expected to rise to $67 billion per year. That hurts everyone in the wallet. Arthritis is a pain – and not just in the neighbourhood of your back pocket. – B.G.

Surrey port
Critic ignored port process facts
Dear Editor, Your correspondent [Coal port okayed without adequate assessment, Sept. 4 Letters, Langley Advance] ignores important facts about Port Metro Vancouver’s decision to approve a permit for a coal transfer facility at Fraser Surrey Docks. Reports and documents related to the approval are available on Port Metro Vancouver’s website for public scrutiny and have been since the process began more than two years ago. The decision was by no means a “closed door” one, as Port Metro Vancouver has been open and transparent with the public throughout the entire process. With respect to what the author claims was
a “delay,” Port Metro Vancouver does not place an arbitrary time line around any decision. The focus was on ensuring the proper scientific studies and assessments were conducted – including those for the environment and human health. Further, to say that Port Metro Vancouver did not consider public input or involving public health authorities in the review is misleading. Port Metro Vancouver’s project review included a required environmental impact assessment that was evaluated by an expert third party and subjected to a 30day public comment period. Additionally, in response to public concerns and feedback from health

Credit unions deserve break
Dear Editor, Like many in Langley, I am a member of a credit union. The 2013 federal budget effectively raised taxes on credit unions by phasing out a tax deduction available for credit unions. This increase in tax rate came at a time when operating margins were being squeezed as regulators were looking for an increase in capital to be held. This has had a damaging impact on all credit unions throughout the country. The higher taxes imposed on credit unions has affected their ability to lend money to families and small business. Both banks and credit unions have to hold large amounts of capital in reserve. But unlike banks, credit unions can’t easily issue shares like banks do when they need additional capital to grow. Simply put, credit unions, by their nature of member ownership, are different from banks whose primary responsibility is to deliver profits to shareholders. Credit unions should be treated differently. My credit union and other credit unions across the country are asking the Conservative government to include a Capital Growth Tax Credit for credit unions in the 2015 federal budget. This new tax credit would give generate millions of dollars in additional lending possibilities to local Langley businesses and families and will help grow our local economy. Shane Dyson, Aldergrove
authorities and others, Port Metro Vancouver required a comprehensive, sciencebased human health risk assessment, which was completed following Health Canada guidelines and again evaluated by an expert third party. The third party and Port Metro Vancouver found no evidence of negative human health impacts beyond acceptable minimums. In addition, during the course of the review, health authorities were invited to be involved, and meetings with them were held. While the project required neither a federal environmental assessment by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency nor a provincial environmental assessment by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Agency, Port Metro Vancouver required a thorough environmental review in accordance with the requirements of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act – an obligation Port Metro Vancouver takes very seriously. Port Metro Vancouver’s mandate is to facilitate the flow of goods and resources through Canada’s AsiaPacific Gateway, while at the same time ensuring the health and safety of residents throughout the region and the sustainability of port operations. The scientific findings of our project review process confirm this project can move forward in a safe and environmentally responsible way.

Ask Don & Kevin Today s topic is: Family Business
Q: My family owns and operates a business. How can we cultivate and keep family unity within our business? A: In a family business, you are driven by two equally important goals: first, you want to maintain the economic profitability of your business, and secondly, you want to maintain harmony between family members. While the unique “family component” of a family business can offer great benefits, it can also present challenges. Conflict within a family business is inevitable. In fact, the question is not whether conflict will occur, but when. However, with forethought, structure and communication, you can take steps to ensure that this conflict won’t damage your business or cause lasting animosity between family members. Family businesses can run into difficulties in three different areas: interpersonal, business and ownership. To promote harmony in your family business, you need to address each of these potential conflict hotspots, before they become a problem. When it comes to interpersonal issues, communication is key. Family businesses can set up a “family council” – a safe, open and structured forum for family members to discuss issues that arise due to the family’s involvement in the business. A membership and code of conduct need to be established for the family council, and it can be helpful to have a facilitator for family council meetings.
To deal with business issues, it’s a good idea to set up an advisory board. An advisory board is similar to a board of directors, but does not fulfill the legal requirements that a board of directors would in a public company. The family determines who will sit on the advisory board, as well as the board’s objectives. On the ownership front, there should be clear definition of each family member’s role, their compensation and their future within the business. To that end, you need to consider shareholder’s agreements, estate plans including tax planning, wills and succession plans. We have found there is a generational shift happening with many of our clients –boomers who have built up businesses looking to make the transition to retirement. Working through who in the family will be taking over management responsibilities and achieving that transition in a smooth manner can be a significant challenge. There are many considerations when putting together a family council, advisory board or succession plan, and KPMG’s family business advisers can help a family business set these up. Taking proactive steps can ensure your family business stays harmonious, and profitable. For more information, please contact our Langley Office at (604)455-4000 for an initial no charge consultation. Don Matthew and Kevin Mickelby, KPMG Partners

Learn table manners and how to say “hi” in 12 languages early Saturday night in Brookswood. “The Manners Lady” is offering a sneak peek of October’s National Manners Month in Langley with a free family workshop this Saturday. Judi Vankevich is hosting the event Sept. 27 starting at 7 p.m. at Langley Presbyterian Church in Brookswood Vankevich offers interactive songs, games and role-playing, learning good manners, character, and respect from her award-winning CD It’s Fun to Have Good Manners and her Manners Club Character Kit, used by schools and families around the world. She has just returned from her UK Concert tour where she performed for more than 3,300 school children in London and Glasgow. “It was exciting to be in Scotland the night of the historic vote [in which its people voted against independence from the United Kingdom], just as it was exciting to see the enthusiasm of the children and parents to learn manners together in a fun way,” Vankevich

Langley-based Trinity Western University (TWU) is chock-full of reasons to visit with a variety of programs being presented through the School of the Arts, Media and Culture. The Verge conference explores the theory and practice of the arts, works of master printmaker Li Guijin are on display, and the inaugural Faculty + Friends Recital Series begins.
Visiting artist Li Guijin of Tianjin Normal University in China views art as a platform to facilitate communication and understanding.
On the Verge
This year marks the eighth annual Verge conference at TWU. Running both today (Sept. 25) and tomorrow, the conference is open to anyone interested in exploring arts of all kinds from novels and poetry to film and the human form. This year’s conference, entitled Arts and Re/Search is based on the exploration and discussion of the arts, what lies beneath the practice, and what this discovery means to both artists and the community as a whole in terms of research. Individual sessions are based on topics like: story, social change, and parallel creative

Arts briefs
Artists showing The Langley Arts Council Gallery hosts historic crafters in a show of local artisans. by Ronda Payne
news@langleyadvance.com
Take a look at some time-honoured crafts this weekend at the Langley Arts Council Gallery during the first Artisan Fair. Organizer Maureen Dones of the Langley Weavers and Spinners Guild noted the group has been spinning at the Arts Council Gallery for about a year. “We thought we’d help them out with a fundraiser,” Dones said. Visitors who check out the show at the gallery on Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. can purchase items handmade by the weavers and spinners as well as those created by the Gone Hooking Rug Hookers, who will also be on site. “The Rug Hookers are coming to join us,” Dones said adding that there will be six demonstrations over the two days. The scheduled demonstrations include: rug hooking, basket weaving, loom weaving, spinning, needle felting, and tapestry weaving. “Baskets are a part of weaving,” Dones commented. The sale of each item will see proceeds shared between the artisan and the gallery at 20550 Fraser Hwy. “We will give people lots of things to look at,” said Dones. “And they can ask questions and get to know more.”
Sunday art show
The members of the Port Kells Art Club have an annual autumn show, which takes place at the Fort Langley Community Hall Sunday. The show is a painting exhibition and sale of original watercolours, acrylics, oils, and pastels. It runs Sept. 28 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the hall, 9167 Glover Rd. Admission is free and there’s refreshments available. Raffle tickets will be sold and the prize is a piece of art of the winner’s choice. People can also meet the artists and find out about the club. The club meets on the third Monday of the month, except for July, August and December. The next meeting is Oct. 20 at the Masonic Hall, 20701 Fraser Hwy. at 1 p.m.
Cancer campaigners
The Langley band Derrival is using its music to help fundraise for a Kelowna girl and her fight with cancer. Four-year-old Gabrielle Pinette has an inoperable brain tumour. The band recently won a place in the top 12 of the PEAK Performance Project, a contest that aims to elevate new talent in B.C. and Alberta. As part of the competition, they must increase the profile of a charity or cause. The band heard about Gabriel through friends and immediately began planning an event to raise money for BC Children’s Hospital in an effort to help support her and her mother. They play Oct. 11 at the Electric Owl in Vancouver along with other special performers. And Derrival has set up an Indiegogo campaign to fundraise for the family.

Zoo raises techy turtles Forty small turtles with transmitters glued to their shells have been released into the wild. The Greater Vancouver Zoo is normally a place where people go to see animals, but recently, it’s been a place where animals are released. The zoo is part of a project to save the western painted turtle and over the past few weeks, 40 hatchlings from the zoo were released at two specially chosen sites. Transmitters were attached to 18 of the turtles so they can be radio tracked, and will provide information on their survival and habitat use. “There is very little known about hatchling and juvenile turtle behaviour/movements and habitat needs. This data will help to inform both this species conservation as well as many related species and turtles in general,” said biologist Andrea Gielens. Another 13 hatchlings will be released next spring, considered too small to survive alone this year.

The Greater Vancouver Zoo is part of a project to help rebuild populations of the western painted turtle. That includes releasing the hatchlings into the wild with transmitters attached to their shells. The eggs were originally collected on the Sunshine Coast in the spring of 2012 and incubated at the zoo. According to the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC), the Pacific Coast Population is listed as endangered, while the intermountain-Rocky Mountain population is listed as being of special concern. The western painted turtle and other freshwater species are limited by short supply of suitable habitats, the commit-
tee noted, due to urban development, drainage of wetlands, forestry, roadbuilding, and other human activities. The western painted turtle is named after the bright yellow stripes on its head, neck, tail and legs, and the glowing red on its plastron (shell covering the belly) and under-edge of its carapace (shell covering the back). They can grow to more than a foot in length, and can often been seen basking in areas completely surrounded by water, to avoid predators.

Questions and answers

Don’t be a sucker when it comes to moles Dear Anne,
Can anything be done to stop suckers from growing up around the base of my prune tree? I have cut them off, put landscape paper around the base of the tree, and even sprayed some weatherproofing tar on them, but they keep coming back. The roots under the lawn are also sending up shoots.
In this case, the only cure for suckers is discarding the tree you have, digging all its suckers and planting a new tree. More suckers would reappear for a while, but then vanish when the energy of the
remaining mother-tree roots is used up. I had a similar problem
Jean Lloyd, email
The only cure for most suckers is pulling them off when they are very young and tiny. They have to be pulled (not cut), because that’s the only way you can remove the growth shoot that gives rise to the suckers. Pruning too much tends to cause excess suckering. But even a little pruning can stimulate suckers on some trees. Prune plums are especially notorious for this. I wonder if your tree is grafted or on its own roots? That is significant, because if it’s on its own roots, each one of those suckers, if severed with a piece of the root attached and then replanted, would in time give you an identical tree. Think of ownroot suckers as clones. Then you could make a fresh start with the only expenditure being time. Often, grafted trees tend to sucker more, because the rootstock is an especially vigorous species chosen to get the topgrowth tree off to a good, fast start. If you have a grafted tree, any planted sucker would produce something fast-growing but of inferior quality.
Suckers off a mature tree can be a nuisance… or a boon.
with a grafted contorted hazel. Finally, I layered it and three years later had a new little tree which I planted. I felt so guilty hauling the original off to the transfer station, but the suckers on the new tree
Heather Colpitts/Langley Advance
stay close in to the trunk – and every one is contorted. For the original pulling of tiny suckers, you really need to use pliers or some other grasping tool. It is very hard work and needs strong hands.
In the Garden by Anne Marrison
Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to amarrison@shaw.ca
Dear Anne,
What is the most effective way to deter moles?
Raquel Barria, Coquitlam
Deterring moles is difficult and frequently disappointing work. It’s probably little comfort to reflect that moles always pick gardens with rich, nutritious soil. In fact, molehills make excellent, sometimes weed-free, potting soil. First of all, none of the home methods for mole removal (flooding, weird noises, putting noxious plants in tunnels) is reliable. Most don’t work at all. Floods drain away, and it’s no problem for a mole to simply tunnel around repellents.
There are people who specialize in mole-catching. The Fraser Valley has a number of them listed on the internet. They usually use traps. But once moles are eradicated, the next challenge is keeping new moles away. That’s because once a good set of mole tunnels goes vacant, they become very attractive to other moles. So after a pause (usually a few months, sometimes longer) more moles arrive. When gardens are on small lots, the moles may be afflicting your neighbours, too, and can seek refuge there before returning to you.

RECIPE
Thanksgiving dinner
Try cranberries P
umpkin pie is a traditional Thanksgiving dessert, but many options are just as seasonal. One of my favourites is cranberry bread pudding. Bread puddings usually utilize leftover, stale bread, but I prefer to use a fresh loaf of French bread and toast it in the oven, instead. The results are far superior. When it first comes from the oven it will be puffed up and beautiful, but don’t be alarmed to see it shrink down as it cools. That is normal. For serving, a premium vanilla bean ice cream is a wonderful addition.

public notices Outdoor Burning Ban Extended
Record high temperatures and extremely dry weather conditions mean outdoor burning is still banned in the Township of Langley. Burning permits will not be issued until there is significant rainfall and the threat of fire danger has passed. Burning season normally runs in September and April to give residents a chance to clean up their yards and burn garden debris. However, the Township of Langley Fire Department is delaying the season due to the extremely hot and dry conditions that have been experienced at the end of August and into September. Bonfires, yard debris burning, and outdoor cooking in anything other than a CGA-approved barbecue or briquette barbecue is not allowed. The Township Fire Department has zero tolerance for offenders and those who disobey the ban could face fines exceeding $200. Burning season will begin once enough rain has fallen to reduce the fire danger and the Fire Department will announce when burning permits can be released.

Rams recognized by BCFC for dominant outings After leading their team to a 53-14 win over the VI Raiders, Langley Rams running back Nathan Lund and rookie linebacker Marcus Brown were named B.C. Football Conference Players of the Week. What a Saturday it was for the Langley Rams, and more specifically, two players who were at the top of their games against the VI Raiders. The Rams romped to a 53-14 win over the Nanaimo squad at McLeod Stadium, to improve their record to 6-2. Going into the game, the teams took turns beating each other during their season series, scoring 88 points apiece in the previous two games combined. But the rubber match was all Rams, thanks to contributions across the board. In particular, Rams Nathan Lund and Marcus Brown had fantastic games and as a result, were named B.C. Football Conference Players of the Week for week nine of the regular season. Lund was named Offensive Player of the Week. The athletic running back carried the ball 11 times for 55 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns. He also caught two balls for 73 yards, and scored a major. He had 128 all-purpose yards and three touchdown.
Lund becomes the third Ram to earn “BC Lions Offensive Player of the Week honours.” The others were Dylan Tucker (week four), and Mario Narte (week six). The BCFC Defensive Player of the Week went to Brown, a linebacker who helped the Rams defence hold the Raiders to just 33 yards on the ground. One of the main reasons for the Rams’ shutdown success was the play of the 18-year-old Brown, who made three solo tackles, one assisted tackle, forced and recovered a fumble, had a knock down and intercepted a pass. This is the Winnipeg native’s first award this year. The Rams have two games remaining in their season, and both are on the road. This Sunday, they travel to Kelowna’s Apple Bowl to take on the 7-1, leagueleading Okanagan Sun. Kickoff is 1 p.m. The Rams’ final game before the postseason is Saturday, Oct. 4, when they visit Exhibition Stadium to take on the Valley Huskers. Game time is 7 p.m.
Some choices are hard.

Stealth loading up for 2015 NLL campaign The brass with Langley’s professional lacrosse team believes the squad became tougher and deeper on draft day. The biggest mover and shaker at the 2014 National Lacrosse League draft was unquestionably, Langley’s own Vancouver Stealth. The Stealth made headlines earlier in the day, acquiring rising star Johnny Powless and gritty forward Joel McCready from the Rochester Knighthawks. In exchange, the Stealth gave up their 2014 first round pick (second overall) as well as their second round pick (11th overall) and first round picks in 2015 and 2017. “Ever since I got the phone call this morning, I’ve been pretty excited,” Powless said. “I’ve got a lot of support from my family and fans and I’m looking forward to the season.” Stealth head coach Dan Perreault said it’s “going to be a treat to coach Johnny and a treat for the fans to watch him.” “He sees the floor so well and makes everyone better,” Perreault said, of the newly acquired Powless. Regarding McCready, Perreault said, “Joel works so hard and gets rewarded by using his strength to grind out goals. It’s a great fit for our right side.” The Stealth weren’t done with the draft day trades as the team traded its ninth overall pick to the Buffalo Bandits for physical defenseman Rory Smith, goaltender Eric Penney, and the Bandits’ 12th overall pick. Along with the Stealth’s ninth pick, the Bandits also received Nick Weiss, the Stealth’s second round pick in 2015 and the team’s first rounder in 2018. “We got a lot done today to help our team,” Stealth president and general manager Doug Locker said. “Adding players like
Johnny, Joel, and Rory would be huge under any circumstance, but coupled with the quality players we secured via the draft, I think it’s a big day for our organization. We have added some exciting pieces that are going to help us compete and make for some fun for our fans to watch, too.” Smith has played seven seasons in the NLL. In 103 games, he’s tallied 12 assists and 363 penalty minutes. “He’s a solid defender,” said Perreault. “When he’s out there he’s tough to play against. Having Rory out there makes our back end tougher.” With the 12th overall pick from Buffalo, the Stealth selected Conrad Chapman. The transition player dressed in all 18 games for the Nanaimo Timbermen of the WLA in 2014, scoring three goals and three assists. He’s a big presence on the floor, standing at 6’6” and 230 pounds. “He’s a big body and somewhat of a late bloomer who’s really come on,” Perreault said. “He’s turned into a fine player with great speed and keeps getting better every time I watch him.” The third round saw Vancouver with three selections, drafting Brandon Clelland, Dan Keane, and Jakob Doucet. Clelland, drafted 21st overall, was a member of the Orangeville Northmen in 2014. The defenceman was named to the all-second team. Keane was a member of the Ontario junior A Brampton Excelsiors, where the right-handed shooter scored 146 points in 35 career games. “It’s an honour,” said the 23rd overall pick. “I’m glad I got this opportunity and I hope to make the team.” Doucet’s a left-handed defenceman who’s played the last three seasons for the New Westminster Salmonbellies of the BC Junior A Lacrosse League. The 25th overall pick played in 49 regular season games, scoring 55 points.
The Stealth’s lone selection in the fourth round was Matt Delmonico, who was picked 30th overall. The right-hander goes to school and plays lacrosse for the Seton Hall Griffins in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. “We’re lucky to pick him up where we did in the draft, and he’ll be competing for a spot on the right side,” Perreault said. The final two selections saw Vancouver go with a pair of solid defend-
ers, drafting DJ Saari, 39th overall and Steve Ferdinandi with their final pick, in the 48th spot. Saari played in the BCJALL for the past three seasons with Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, and Nanaimo. He was a member of the Jr. Adanacs team that played in the 2013 Minto Cup. Ferdinandi was the captain of the New Westminster Jr. A Salmonbellies this year. Out of the 11 players the
look to earn their way on to the roster. Vancouver opens the season on the road against the Calgary Roughnecks on Jan. 3, 2015. The Stealth’s home opener is the following week when they host the Toronto Rock on Jan. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre. Vancouver Stealth season tickets are available for the 2015 season, starting at $99. For details visit StealthLAX.com.

Abby Falcons hand Bears first loss of 2014 Abbotsford put an end to the North Langley peewee Bears’ season-long unbeaten streak last weekend. It took until the fourth game of the peewee football season for the North Langley Bears to meet their match. The Bears suffered their first loss of 2014, losing 12-7 in Abbotsford to the Falcons. The result leaves the Bears with a 2-1-1 record. After a sluggish first half, the Bears’ offence found its rhythm and kept the ball for the entire third quarter.
Early in the fourth stanza, quarterback Jordan Williams plowed forward for two yards and six points, capping a 20-play, 85-yard drive that saw six different Bears carry the ball. Leading the North Langley running attack was Marcus Stang, who rushed for 76 net yards on the day. Those totals included a 31-yard scamper midway through the fourth quarter, thanks to a key block from Jacob Evans. The Bears’ defence started out strong, ending Abbotsford’s first two possessions after three plays and forcing a turnover on downs twice more in the game. Four Bears registered tackles for losses, with the combined efforts of Nick Reimer and Chris

Vela has NHL’s attention
Langley Rivermen sophomore forward Marcus Vela will be one to watch, by NHL scouts, this season. Marcus Vela is on the radar of NHL scouts. The Langley Rivermen forward is one of five B.C. Hockey League players on the NHL Central Scouting Service Players to Watch preliminary list for 2015. The list came out on Tuesday and includes players from all major junior leagues worldwide. Vela played in 54 games last year as a rookie, scoring 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) along with 41 penalty minutes. “It’s a real honour for me,” said Vela. “I’ve been fortunate enough to play with great teammates and get great coaching.” • More online at langleyadvance.com
Morrison pushing the Falcons back by 19 yards. However, the Bears were unable to stop Abbotsford’s Carter Squire, whose big plays gave the Falcons the edge. In the second quarter when two Bears together failed to bring Squire down in the backfield, he found open field to the right and went 71 yards up the sideline for the game’s first touchdown. In the fourth quarter, Squire returned a kickoff 51 yards to the Bears 15-yard line, which set up the Falcons’ game-winning major four plays later. – by Andy Faust Junior bantam Bears The Bears dominated the Ridge Meadow Knights last Saturday to capture their first win of the season, beating the Knights 19-0 at Samuel Robertson Technical Secondary in Maple Ridge. Bears quarterback Brandon Brynjolfson ran for two touchdowns while Evan Rees had a touchdown and rushed for the one point convert. The Bears’ defensive line was very strong with some big tackles from Brodie Tarling, Evan Rees, Alex Ronald, Ben Pascoe, Jude Wessel, Jacob Thorpe, Dakota Jenkins, Carlos Redekopp, and Joey Yeomans. Offensively, Kevin Morrison cleared the way for Brynjolfson to score his second touchdown of the day. Cadeyrn Barthelson blocked
a pass and carried the ball six yards for a first down in the first quarter. Rees had a nifty first down run up the middle for eight yards in the fourth quarter. There was another big gain when Brynjolfson threw a complete pass to Trevor Paulenz, gaining 15 yards. Pascoe blocked a kick and Brynjolfson was able to catch a pass. The Knights suffered a few injuries and penalties with one being roughing the passer for a 15 yard penalty, which put the Bears at first and goal. The Bears are back in action Saturday against Abbotsford. Kickoff at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford is at 11:45 a.m. – by Deb Telus Bantam Bears The Bears’ potent offence was on full display as they rolled to a 40-12 drubbing of the Westside Warriors Sunday afternoon. Connor Hurley threw two touchdown passes, one to Alex Henderson and another to Andy Hanlen, while Pablo Wigwigan and Ryan Taylor also had catches for the Bears. On the ground, Zander Bailey had a huge game, rolling up 169 yard and three touchdowns on 10 carries. Caleb Nielson scored the remaining North Langley touchdown. The Bears offensive line,
anchored by Rene Clairoux and Kevin Solares, protected the quarterback all game while constantly punching holes in the Westside defense for North Langley running backs. On defence, hard hitting Riley Jones had a particularly strong game for the Bears. And for the second time this season, a hustling Ryan Barthleson caused a turnover when he raced downfield on a kickoff to recover the football before the opposition could gain control. The Bears will once again defend their unbeaten streak against Vancouver on Saturday at McLeod Athletic Park. – by Chris Hurley Atom Bears The Bears fell to Meadow Ridge Gold, losing 25-0 to the home team. Despite the loss, a few of the Bears had outstanding games. Kayden Bell made several great tackles. Troy Edwards had some great runs for first downs, and chipped in with a 15-yard reception on a great throw from Owen Sieben in the second quarter. Ty Gallinger made several tackles, including one for a five yard loss in the second quarter. Ezekiel Bodill, Annika Key, and Manny Fotiou also provided some bright spots for the Bears’ defence, contributing tackles for losses during the game.
