Riders’ Aldergrove visit evokes emotions The Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley riders are drawing near the end their nine-day journey. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
The Cops for Cancer rolled through Langley Tuesday, and while they were all smiles as they stopped around the community, there was a serious purpose behind their visits. “It’s pretty emotional,” Teresa Sperger said. “Those are some pretty great people.” Sperger’s son Christopher passed away in 2007 after a four-year battle with cancer. Christopher and his family were taken under the wing of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley team. The team “It’s pretty emotional. members, past Those are some pretty and present, great people.” still keep in touch with Teresa Sperger the family, Sperger said. “They keep Christopher’s memory alive,” she said. The team of law enforcement personnel from the Lower Mainland is one of four Cops for Cancer teams that rides around B.C., raising funds to combat childhood cancers and to support the patients through the Canadian Cancer Society.

Aux. Const. Liz Gilbert of the Surrey RCMP hugged Allyson Bartlett. Allyson’s twin sister Katelynn is in treatment for cancer right now. They include three members from Langley this year, as well as police, border guards, and corrections officials who hail from anywhere between Delta and the Fraser Canyon. Their nine-day ride will take them as far east as Boston Bar, a trip they completed on Sunday. They started their ride in Langley under sunshine, a welcome break from the rain and hills they’d faced in Mission on Monday.
On Sunday, the riders had done the longest leg of the Tour, from Hope to Boston Bar and back again, passing Hell’s Gate twice and covering about 130 kilometres. One of their early stops on Tuesday was at Shortreed Elementary in Aldergrove, where Christopher Sperger attended. Teresa Sperger spoke to the students about how much her son had enjoyed school and spending time with his friends there. The Cops for Cancer then handed out quilts to Sperger and to the family of Katelynn and Allysson Bartlett, twin girls in Grade 5 at Shortreed. “I think it’s pretty nice Katelynn is currently in of them.” treatment for Allysson Bartlett cancer, and is doing a lot of her learning from home right now, said Principal Tanya Rogers. The school is arranging for Katelynn to be taped or Skyped in for some things, such as the school’s annual public speaking festival. “I think it’s pretty nice of them,” said Ally, who accepted the quilts for her sister and herself. The Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley has already raised more than $257,000 this year. On their ride, which finishes tomorrow (Friday, Oct. 3), they will meet with thousands of students at schools around the region, stop at local businesses, and ride more than 800 kilometers.

Scam suspect taken down
A scuffle ended with the suspect in a TV sale scam arrested in Aldergrove. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A wild scramble took place outside the Otter Co-op when a citizen tried to capture an alleged scam artist. Last week, RCMP warned about a man who was running a scheme to separate people from their cash. He offered a good deal on a TV – about $300 – but then left to get the product… and vanished. On Friday, Sept. 26, a local man fell victim to the scam, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. On Saturday, the victim was at the Co-
op on 248th Street with his grown son, when he spotted the suspect. The son attempted to detain the alleged scam artist until police could arrive. They got into a shoving match, and the suspect jumped into a vehicle driven by a woman. The victim’s son climbed into the back of the car and refused to get out as the driver yelled at him. Police also allege the suspect punched at the victim’s son, who punched back to stop the attack. A retired RCMP officer noticed the incident and helped the victim’s son and another man detain the suspect. Police have arrested Darrell Anderson, 51, and he is being held on one charge of fraud. He is scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Oct. 2.

Long dance to worlds in Germany Races get started by Matthew Claxton

It turned out to be a journey from hell for a Fraser Valleybased team, which, especially under the circumstances, did very well at the IDO Hip Hop World Championships in Bochum, Germany. Complications with Air Canada flights scheduled to depart from Vancouver International Airport caused the group of dancers and adult chaperones to arrive in Frankfurt – about a three-hour bus ride from Bochum – a day later than planned. On Monday, Sept. 22, the team travelled to YVR at 5:30 in the morning for a flight that was scheduled to depart just after 9 a.m. Their flight was delayed twice, to 10:20 a.m. and again until 11 a.m. before it was cancelled altogether due to a mechanical failure. The team members waited at the airport, and were told they would be taking a direct flight at 2 p.m. to Frankfurt. Unfortunately, that plan fell through, according to Lisa Dew, Follow

This duo from Lisa’s School of Dance performed just hours after arrival following their team’s problematic journey to Germany for the IDO hip hop world championships.
Finally, after a 17-hour wait, the group split into two and boarded planes bound for Toronto and Ottawa between 10:30 and 11 p.m. During their wait in Vancouver, the group was offered two $10 food vouchers by Air Canada, according to Dew. “It was 13 hours in when they finally brought us some pillows and blankets,” Dew added. Throughout the entire ordeal, the students were “unbelievable,” Dew said: “They practised and hung out and were really good, considering everything that was going on.”

Nominations are officially open for the Nov. 15 municipal election, and interest in running may be down slightly in Langley Township. As of Wednesday, 19 nomination packages for council and 10 for school board had been picked up, said Bob Wilson, the Township’s chief election officer. Of those 19, several had expressed possible interest in running for mayor, but so far only incumbent Jack Froese has filed his papers. In 2011, there were 41 names on the ballot in Langley Township, including all those vying for the mayor’s seat, eight council seats, and five school board seats. There were three mayoral candidates, 27 council candidates, and 11 school board candidates. There is only one slate announced to run so far this year, with Live Langley’s Clint Lee and Kerri Ross having said they will run. The deadline to file as a candidate is Oct. 10, at 4 p.m., said Wilson.
The election will be held on Nov. 15 and there are 75,676 eligible voters in Langley Township. Wilson has been keeping an eye on voter numbers in Willoughby, where he added 200 names to voter rolls over four months, and expects more. There are a few changes to polling places this year. A new voting location will be opened at Glenwood Elementary. The polling place at R.E. Mountain Secondary will be moved to Lynn Fripps Elementary. Voter turnout was around 25 per cent in 2011. Some areas were as high as 30 per cent, but other polling places, including R.C. Garnett Elementary, were as low as 18 or 19 per cent, said Wilson. Langley City will only have one polling place, at Nicomekl Elementary. “We’ve been able to accommodate everyone at the one polling station,” said the City’s chief electoral officer Carolyn Mushata. Langley City’s ballot will have space for six councillors, one mayor, and two spots for the Langley school board. City and Township school board members combine and serve together. Randy Caine, owner of the City’s Hempyz Gifts and Novelties, has filed his papers to run for mayor. Acting Mayor Ted Schaffer is also expected to run.

In both Toronto and Ottawa there was an additional nine hour layover. Air Canada provided them with hotels, with the one in Toronto just five minutes away from the airport. Those who flew to Ottawa, however, bused to a hotel in Gatineau, Que., about an hour away from the airport. Once they got to their ultimate destination, more bad luck awaited the snake-bit group. The fire alarm at their hotel in Frankfurt went off, and the building had to be evacuated. “We had to go outside with our luggage,” Dew said.
During the competition, the students shone. Under the guidance of choreographer Paul Otterbein, the 18-member junior team placed fourth in a category featuring 24 countries, while the 24 senior dancers finished 10th out of 32 countries. Dew said the team shelled out more than $200,000 total for the trip, with each dancer paying $3,500 apiece to cover the costs. As well, each parent chaperone paid $2,500. During the weekends and a few weekdays leading up to the competition, some of the dancers travelled from as far away as Kamloops, Kelowna, and Vancouver Island to practise with the team.

Q: I’d like to grow my company by acquiring another one. Where do I start? A: Acquiring another company can be extremely profitable, and strategically beneficial. At the same time, acquisitions must be approached with caution. Finding the right company can be a long process, with a lot of kissing frogs to get to the prince. Before making an acquisition, it’s important to be realistic about where you are as a company. Ask yourself: do I have the management strength and adequate financing in my core business to make an acquisition? What can I afford to buy? For example, if you are a company with ten million dollars in revenue, $1.5 million in earnings and a very thin management team, it’s probably going to be very difficult for you to buy a company valued at thirty million dollars. You don’t want to waste your energy and resources chasing something that is out of your reach. Secondly, you need to think strategically and analyze why it is you want to make an acquisition. Are you trying to buy growth? Are you buying technologies, services or an expanded workforce? Are you buying market share? Thirdly, you have to think about fit. If you plan on merging your acquisition with your core business, you need to think about whether you are able to undertake that merger properly and what the realistic synergies are going to be.

acquisition the right fit from a cultural and sales channel perspective? An advisor can help you walk through those strategic questions, and identify targets that will benefit your core business. This part of the process can take some time – you may have to look at a number of targets before you find something that truly meets your goals. On the other hand, if you’ve already found a logical, strategic acquisition and had early discussions, an advisor can help you work out the logistics and make the deal happen. Unfortunately, many acquisitions do not end up producing additional value for shareholders and a lot of that has to do with failing to think through some of the issues we’ve outlined here. Also, some business owners are so tired after the long acquisition process and feel that they need to get back to their regular business as soon as the deal is inked. As a result, they may fail to pay adequate attention to important implementation issues, which are critical to the success of an acquisition. Buying another company can seem like an attractive way to grow. By asking the right questions before you start searching, you can ensure that you’re making the right move for your business.

Dignity needed in end debate
The euthanasia debate has been gathering intensity again of late. Most of the debate centres on a blackand-white issue: should people have the right to die when they want to, or should they be required to struggle for as much lifetime as they can squeeze out of their existence? On one end of the debate are those who claim the ownership of their selves means having a choice of when to call it quits, while at the other end are those who fear – and with some justification – that the choice may be taken out of their hands. The shades of grey between are overwhelming. After all, if there weren’t so much grey area between the pole positions, a decision would be relatively easy to reach. One shade that can be dispensed with has to do with the definition of terms. Once they understand the difference, most people who favour “death with dignity” will take “euthanasia” off the table, and instead start from a position of “assisted suicide.” It is of utmost importance that the very terms of reference stick to personal choices, otherwise we risk stepping onto a slippery slope in which there is a danger that “quality of life” might eventually be assessed on a societal, rather than personal scale, and medical costs can be valued against an arbitrary determination of how much suffering an individual should be “forced” to endure in a society that supports universal health care. We don’t want to end up in a place where “your” suffering is deemed to be not worth “my” health care premiums – however well intentioned such evaluations may be. On the flip side, it’s hard to understand why someone who sees only a future filled with unbearable suffering should be forced to endure at society’s expense – providing that individual, and not someone else, truly wishes to initiate the end of suffering, with dignity. And without coercion. – B.G.

Drivers a danger to children
Dear Editor, As the parent of two young school-age children, I am extremely concerned and dismayed to see the number of drivers speeding through their school zone every morning and afternoon at peak drop-off and pick-up times. My children attend Nicomekl Elementary,
and in the past week, my husband and I have observed countless vehicles doing more than double the posted limit. I would like to remind drivers who travel on 53rd Avenue (or any school zone) to SLOW DOWN and watch for children now that school is back in session. Sylvia Georgeson, Langley

The Mercedes-Benz dealership in Langley City just celebrated a year in business and already it’s helped put more than $280,000 into local charity. Soon after opening, the dealership became a supporter of the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation and is the sponsor for the Denim and Diamonds galas for 2014 and 2015. “It’s not only a spectacular event but an important fundraiser,” said dealership manager Dean Rideout. Dilawri dealerships support causes in the communities in which they operate. “We’re always quite interested in helping children and hospitals,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Kate Ludlam (inset), with the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation, and Mercedes Langley manager Dean Rideout checked out the new 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA. lish the new dealership, said Kate Ludlam, the foundation’s senior donor relations officer. “Mercedes Langley has been very quick to support us,” she said. That included the dealership’s May Day float which showcased the foundation, having staff help at the foundation golf tournament and the gala support. The Langley operation is unique. The dealership is owned by the Dilawri Group, one of the biggest auto sellers in the nation, on land owned by the Kwantlen First Nation.
Despite being surrounded by road construction during its infancy, the dealership has thrived. The 40-year-old Rideout took over the Langley dealership Aug. 1. “We have exceeded our planned targets,” he said of sales in year one. The goal is to sell 50-60 vehicles (new, used and commercial) each month and he said Langley has proven a good addition for the Dilawri Group. “The grass is green where you water it,” he commented.

Apple Day this weekend isn’t just about apples… it’s about community.
Apple Day
Crisp air around apple celebration Old and now-rare varieties of apples are part of a celebration of heritage this Saturday. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
The return of crisp fall air means the crisp taste of heritage apples is also returning to Langley. Heritage Apple Day will be held this Saturday, Oct. 4 at the heritage area in the Derby Reach Regional Park. The key event will be the tasting of the apples themselves, of course. “I think it’s been a good season in general,” said Joakim Nilsson, one of the directors of the Derby Reach-Brae Island Park Association. The association has been organizing the annual event for years now. The heritage apples come from local trees and orchards, and represent varieties that can’t be found in the local supermarket. A century ago, there were hundreds of apple varieties cultivated across the world. As farming became more intensive and more people got their fruit from a store rather than from a tree out back, a few varieties became dominant. Some of the heritage varieties are still grown, and some of the oldest

Five-yearold Jenna Sparrow along with her sisters Bella, eight, and Emma, 11, once again volunteered at Heritage Apple Day at Derby Reach Regional Park. apple trees in Langley have been cultivated with new cuttings and saplings in the last few years. Apples will be on offer from local growers such as Derry Walsh, Laurelle Oldford-Down, Sheila and Dave Ormrod, and Jim and Mary Anne Rahe. Some of the growers will also be on hand to offer advice on planting and caring for fruit trees, and they’ll be selling a variety of heritage trees for
people to take home and plant. Aside from the apples, there will be a host of family events taking place at Heritage Apple Day. Tours will show how one of the oldest orchards in Langley was saved, and through the “floating orchard,” which was planted above the current soil level to avoid damaging any possible archaeological artifacts. Historical tours of the area, the site of the first location of the Hudson’s Bay Company’s Fort Langley trading post, will also take place. Re-enactor groups like the Royal Engineers and Black Powder will be firing cannons and muskets. There will also be voyageurs dressed for fur trade days. The Langley Community School Fiddlers will add some musical accompaniment to the day. Tim Hortons will be on hand with free coffee and timbits from 10:30 a.m. to noon. As usual for events in the fall, weather will be important. “We’re hoping that it’s going to be fewer showers rather than more,” said Nilsson. The event will run rain or shine from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is free to everyone. The event is sponsored by the park association, along with Metro Vancouver Regional Parks, the Pacific Parklands Foundation, Langley Township, and Tim Hortons.

year of change lies ahead for the Langley Arts Council. This week marks the departure of the current executive director, the closure of the art gallery, and the pending election of an almost completely new slate of directors. The organization is holding its 46th annual general meeting on Monday, Oct. 6 and it will be the last chance for many to see and say goodbye to the art gallery and offices that have been home to LAC for the past two years. But it’s about much more than just a change of location, it’s hopefully a chance for the organization to do some serious strategizing and refocusing, said outgoing executive director Harmony Thiessen. The old Coast Capital credit union building in Langley City was sold earlier this year, and will soon become home of the Penny Pinchers thrift store operated by the Langley Hospital Auxiliary. LAC has until Dec. 15 to vacate, and was originally planning to close the gallery down at the end of October. But without the funds to keep a full-time staff member on hand to oversee the clear out of the facilities through to the end of October, Thiessen said it was felt it would be too taxing a burden to place on volunteers. So late last week, the decision was made shut down the gallery sooner, rather than later. While the doors are now locked to the public as of the end of September, Thiessen said it will be reopened a few days over the next month or so – for some special events, including Monday’s AGM and a one-night show in November for the special Fire & Art exhibition. As for the future of the organization, she said that will be left to the new board of directors, which Thiessen said, will likely include a number of younger people (under the age of 25) who have offered to let their names stand to better help the arts council transform into an organization for the future. • More at www.langleyadvance.com, search “Thiessen”

After three years, Doris Riedweg has stepped down as president of the Langley Writers’ Guild.
by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com
Writers do tend to lead somewhat solitary lives. That’s why groups like the Langley Writers’ Guild are so important. All genres and levels of writers are welcome to join meetings from 10 a.m. to noon on the first, second, and fourth Thursday of each month for instruction, readings, and critiquing. At the group’s annual meeting in early September, former nurse, Deanna MacDonald was elected as the new president after Doris Riedweg stepped down following three years in the role. Riedweg, the author of four novels, will continue to be a member of the group. Other members of the executive have continued for another year. Those interested will find the

The pair has been touring across North America, Europe, and China as well as producing CDs and music videos. The Concerts Cafe Classico series is just one of the series of concerts offered by LCMS from October to May with both Canadian and international musicians.

Online Survey: Help Reduce Litter and Illegal Dumping
Over the years, the Township of Langley has received more and more requests to respond to litter and illegal dumping – and the trend is rising. Our community is growing, we are creating more waste, and yet we all know we need to reduce the amount of garbage we are throwing in the landfill. That is why the Township of Langley is working on an anti-litter and illegal dumping strategy – and we need your feedback. Please take five minutes of your time to complete a short survey on tol.ca/environment. Your input matters to us. For more information, contact: Engineering Division 604.532.7300 opsinfo@tol.ca
Draining Your Above-Ground Swimming Pool?
Residents with above-ground swimming pools who drain their pools annually at this time of year are reminded to: 1. de-chlorinate the pool water prior to draining the pool 2. drain the water onto your grass/lawn No one should drain pool water into a ditch or storm drain. This causes many risks to our natural resources and our ground water. We all play an important role in protecting our environment. De-chlorination tablets are available for purchase at local hardware and pool supply stores. Follow the instructions provided with the tablets. Once the water has been de-chlorinated, empty the water onto your grass/lawn using the hose that comes with your pool kit. Engineering Division 604.532.7300

Envision employees make a difference

More than a dozen Langley Envision Financial employees didn’t mind getting their hands dirty on Sept. 23. They were among the staff from Envision who said goodbye to their office last week, to spend a day volunteering with local non-profit agencies throughout the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, and Kitimat. In its eighth year, Envision’s Make a Difference Days is a week-long volunteer service opportunity where Envision Financial employees spend one half to a full day working alongside local non-profit agencies – helping to fulfill a project or volunteer need in their organization. More than a dozen Langley Envision employees spent time out of the office and in the gardens supporting the Maples Discovery Gardens Co-op. They helped build the permanent home of Nature’s Classroom, a plot of land that will house the gardens of six classrooms for students in Grades 3-7 starting in spring 2015. The Envision Financial team built a fence, the pathways, and gardens beds.

Envision Financial staff braved some steady rain on Sept. 23 to do volunteer work at Maples Maples Discovery Gardens Co-op in Willoughby. On top of that, the group constructed a walking path and planted plants that will make up the Wild Food edible garden – an idea of the late Bruce VanGarderen that came to life with a $10,000 grant received via an application Envision Financial submitted on the garden’s behalf, through the annual emPOWERING Your Community grants offered through Concentra Financial. Lastly, a new compost area was dug as well as a wall of blackberry bushes removed. Maples Discovery Gardens Co-op was incorporated in May 2009, with

the purposes of “encouraging interest groups and the community at large to participate in programs in order to advance and sustain health improvement, disease prevention, environmentally friendly activities, and providing produce and other products to be sold in local markets. The Co-op will generate revenues to be self-supporting and strive to develop a healthy community by nature.” Maples is located on six acres of botanical and native gardens with community walking paths, an events square, garden plots, and greenhouse. Its purpose is to encourage community groups to participate in programs that advance and sustain health improvement, disease prevention, and environmentally friendly activities while striving to create “a healthy community by nature.” Last year, more than 200 Envision Financial employees provided 808 volunteer hours in support of 16 community partners and 24 community projects throughout the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley and Kitimat. Envison’s community service work isn’t done. On Friday, Oct. 10, their volunteer efforts continue at the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope.

Sun shines against Rams to lock up top spot
Langley turned the ball over seven times in losing to Okanagan on Sunday.
The Sun’s only loss this season came in week two against the Rams, who downed the Kelowna squad 33-20 at McLeod Stadium. Since then, the Sun have won seven in a row, including a pair of victories over the Rams: 31-10 on Sept. 6 at the Apple Bowl and again on Sunday. Langley head coach Jeff Alamolhoda said the Rams didn’t help their own cause against the BCFC’s top team. The Rams coughed the ball up seven times, including three interceptions and four fumbles. “It’s about providing opportunities to good teams, and we provided them with ample opportunities to score points,” Alamolhoda said. “We really put ourselves in a situation where we had to dig ourselves out of a hole, midway through the second quarter.”

Langley responded as McCarty completed a 32 yard touchdown pass to Daniel English The teams headed into halftime tied 17-17, but the break was not good to the Rams. A series of breakdowns led to 17 Sun points in the first 4:30 of the second half, and the Rams never recovered. The Sun moved ahead for good after the Rams, pinned in their own end, opted to concede a safety rather than punt to Yokum from their end-zone. Following the safety, Thomas kicked off from his own 20 and the ball dropped into the hands of Yokum, who took it back 95 yards for a touchdown to give his team a 26-17 lead. Rams returner John Beckerleg then fumbled the ensuing kickoff, and the Sun recovered the ball deep in Rams’ territory. A few plays later, the Sun scored on a one yard touchTroy Landreville/Langley Advance down run by Kasey Russell, as Okanagan moved ahead 33-17.

Rivermen (finally) come home
Meanwhile, Huber booted a 32 yard field goal for a 16-point cushion. Late in the game, a Sun punt for a single ended the scoring. “We came out in the first quarter flying around,” Alamolhoda said. “We had an intensity about us that I hadn’t seen this year. I was happy about that, to know what we’re capable of, but we have to put it together for four quarters without making any critical mistakes. It’s a learning process every game, and we’ll continue to learn from this.” Yochim, who was named BCFC Special Teams Player of the Week, tied a league record by returning two kickoffs for touchdowns. In all, the Kelowna native returned four kickoffs for 264 yards, a new team record and second all-time in BCFC history. Even though they are tied in points with the 6-3 Kamloops Broncos, the Rams look in good stead to finish second in the standings. This weekend, any combination of a Rams win over the 1-8 Valley Huskers on Saturday, or a Kamloops loss to Okanagan would guarantee a second place regular season finish for Rams. If this happens, the Rams would host Kamloops on Saturday, Oct. 18, in one of two BCFC semifinals. If that game takes place, opening kickoff will be 7 p.m. at McLeod Stadium. The Sun will host the fourth place VI Raiders from Nanaimo the same weekend. “We’re in control of our own destiny,” Alamolhoda said. “We want to lock up second place in the conference and go from there.” If the Rams and Sun both win their semifinals, the Cullen Cup BCFC title game will be played on Sunday, Oct. 26 in Kelowna If the Rams win and Sun lose to the Raiders in the semifinal, the title game will be on Saturday, Oct. 25 in Langley. The BCFC champion will host the winner of the Prairie Football Championship in the Canadian national championship game on Saturday, Nov. 8.

Chilliwack defeated North Langley in a rematch from the first week of the season.
It took a giant effort from a team of peewee football players from Chilliwack to beat the North Langley Bears Saturday at McLeod Stadium. The Chilliwack Giants Blue upended the host Bears 18-6. The last time they met, in the first week of the season, the Giants and Bears battled to a 18-18 tie. Halfway through the schedule, the Bears have a record of 2-2-1. In the first half, the Bears’ offence was strong as they engineered two lengthy possessions. Their initial drive resulted in a
touchdown when Jaxon Stebbings connected with Mathieu Gale on an eight-yard pass play. In the final minute of the second quarter, Gale ran the ball to the Chilliwack one yard line, but the Giants’ defence held firm and the drive ended when the half expired. That turned out to be the last scoring opportunity for the Bears. In the second half, the Giants defence repeatedly forced turnovers on downs and the Bears had poor field position. Their longest play of the game, a 33-yard run by Gale in the fourth quarter, brought them just across midfield. On the other side of the ball, in the first half the Bears struggled to contain the Giants, who put together
two long drives of their own. Chilliwack went six-for-six on third down conversions, and two of those plays were for touchdowns. But it was a different story in the second half, when the Bears stopped the Giants on third down four out of five times. The first of those stops came deep in Bears’ territory when Jacob Deibert brought down the ball carrier for a loss. Later, a quarterback sack by Jacob Evans nine yards behind the line of scrimmage set the stage for another turnover on downs. Several tackles each were registered by Marcus Stang, Brandon Folkerts, Nick Reimer, and Mathieu Gale as part of the Bears’ defensive effort. – by Andy Faust

A fine early fall Sunday was enjoyed by a packed field of junior golfers at Belmont Golf Club in Langley last Sunday, where they were competing for titles in eight divisions in the MJT Lindsay Kenney Classic One Day Fall Series. “It’s encouraging for golf to see almost 90 young players come out at the end of the season,” said Neil Bidewell, tournament director on the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour. The Sept. 28 event was supported
by Langley law firm and longtime MJT Sponsor, Lindsay Kenney LLP, and comprised players on the MJT Mini Tour for ages 12 and under, as well as players up the age of 19 on the regular Tour. Mini Tour division winners were Stefanie Silva, 10, of Surrey, who won the MJT Atom Girls title with a score of 74 from modified tees; Victoria Liu, 11, of Vancouver, in MJT Peewee Girls (86 from the forward tees); Nathan Szpakowicz,
eight, of Vancouver, in Atom Boys (75), and Freddy Sun, 10, of Vancouver, playing up a division in Peewee Boys (76). Local favourite Willis Lee, 15, of Langley, fired an even-par 70 to win Low Overall and the MJT Lindsay Kenney Juvenile Boys 15-16 title. “I made a birdie putt on the first hole, which was my personal highlight,” Lee said. “It feels great because it’s my first win on MJT.”

North Langley bantam Bears maul Trojans The Vancouver Trojans were trampled by a dominant Bears squad on Saturday.
The North Langley Bears bantam football team proved to be too much for the visiting Vancouver Trojans, cruising to a 64-6 victory Saturday afternoon. Pablo Wigwigan crossed the goal line each of the three times he touched the ball, and Zander Bailey scored two more touchdowns for the Bears on the ground. Riley Jones, Trevan Baarts, Kevin Solares, Brett Anderson, and Andy Hanlen all had turns with the ball as North Langley experimented with different running backs throughout the game. Quarterback Jacob Stebbings connected with Alex Henderson for a 12 yard touchdown pass, and later made a big play on defense when he intercepted an errant Trojan throw and returned it 45 yards for a touchdown. Kicker Charlie May contributed seven converts and a field goal in the Bears’ winning effort. Next week the Bears take the field against the Richmond Raiders in a battle of first place undefeated teams. – by Chris Hurley Atom Bears The Bears were comeback kids Saturday, erasing a 14-point deficit to tie the Abbotsford Falcons 14-14 in an entertaining and disciplined game. The Bears opened with a strong run in the first quarter by quarterback Owen Sieben, but the drive was quickly cut short when Sieben’s pass was intercepted. North Langley’s defence kept the Falcons from cashing in on the turnover with strong tackling by Ezekiel Bodill and Manny Fotiou.
scoring again with a tackle by Caleb Price on third down to get the ball back to the offence. Despite first down runs in the final minutes, the Bears ran out of time to put more points on the board and settled for a tie game.

Defensively, Aeden Ennis stood out at linebacker by forcing the Abbotsford ball carriers to the inside, where he got support from free safety Triston Todd. On offence, the Bears’ ground game was unstoppable. Langley scored four touchdowns on long runs by Damon Bernemann, Finlay Johnston, Sam Sieben, and Jesse Davison. The Bears then played to a 7-7 draw against Meadow Ridge. Finlay Johnston scored North Langley’s lone tally on a long run that saw him weave through pursuing defenders. Strong defence on both sides made for a hard fought game that saw both teams show some great skills and have lots of fun. – Flag reports by Glen Johnston (yellow) and Cory Langford (red) Junior bantam Bears Great plays by the North Langley junior bantam Bears were not enough against the Abbotsford Falcons on Saturday. The Falcons flew to a 44-0 victory. Key timing by the Bears resulted in two interceptions by Trevor Paulenz and a quarterback sack by Jude Wessel. Kevin Morrison’s blocking helped to create room for big carries by Brandon Brynjolfson, Evan Rees, Ethan Bernardin, and a first down pass reception by Cadeyrn Barthelson. Defensively, the Bears slowed down the Falcons’ drive with tackles by Joey Yeomans, Carlos Redekopp, Ronil Chand, and Dakota Jenkins. The Bears return to their home field at McLeod Athletic Park this Saturday to battle the Meadow Ridge Blue Knights. – Natalie Valentine
