Williams Park
The crooks who stole Christmas
Christmas in Williams Park, a Langley tradition for more than 20 years, has been cancelled after thieves have struck for the second time.
Thieves have managed to kill off a holiday tradition that has been running in Langley since 1991. On Oct. 18, it was discovered that a sizeable amount of lights and extension cords used to set up the annual Christmas in Williams Park event had been stolen from a storage container. “The Grinch truly stole Christmas in Williams Park,” Langley Advance files said Barb Sharp, president of Inflatable snowmen that escaped last year’s the Christmas in Williams Park thievery helped build a base on which to Society. build an outpouring of community support For the first time in more than which saved Christmas in Williams Park two decades, the park will not last year… but this year’s thefts have be decked out in lights and disorganizers on the ropes.

Pets saved from burning home A dog and two cats survived a fire in a Fernridge home on Thursday. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Langley Township firefighters doused a house fire and saved a dog and cats in Brookswood Thursday. Just before 2 p.m., several firehalls were dispatched to the 20060 block of 22nd Street in Fernridge, where a split-level house was on fire. Nick Bermister, who lived upstairs, said his girlfriend was home when the fire started. She smelled smoke and managed to get out with two of the family pets, two dogs. However, Nick, and brother Sheldon Bermister and Chandra Durrant who lived downstairs, were away at work. They rushed home, but Sheldon and Chandra’s dachshund Tobby and two cats were downstairs in the basement. The family’s hedgehog was also in a cage inside. The fire started in the attached garage, and from there spread into the upper level of the house, where it started to travel along the underside of the roof, sending up huge clouds of white smoke. Fire crews soaked the outside of the building with water and foam to knock out the fire before it could get through the roof. “The crews managed to suppress it quite well,” said district fire chief Russ Jenkins. Several residents arrived not long after the fire, called by Nick’s girlfriend, and had to wait nervously for more than an hour to see if their pets were alive. Although the fire was largely confined to the inside of the roof, smoke billowed from several points under the eaves. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus headed inside armed with hoses and hooked poles to attack the fire as it kept spreading inside the roof. Bemister was re-united with

Below right – Firefighters used water and foam to fight the fire in Brookswood. his dog when firefighters brought Tobby out more than an hour after the fire had started, in his cage. With the fire largely under control, Bemister was taken inside to help round up one of the two scared cats that were also on the ground floor. Durrant said the other cat was not found on Thursday, but by Saturday it was thought to have been located alive, according to Township firefighters. Unfortunately, Nick Bermister said the hedgehog didn’t survive. Local emergency shelter services were finding the family a place to stay overnight, and they were expecting to be allowed back in the house, possibly as soon as noon on Friday if the building was structurally sound,
to see if anything else could be salvaged. The cause of the fire remains unknown, said Jenkins, but it
is not thought to be suspicious. Fire investigators were looking at the site again on Monday morning.

A forest of fascinators dotted the ballroom at Langley’s Cascades Casino Sunday as the Thank You For Caring tea got underway. The whole event was a fundraiser for the Langley Christmas Bureau, which collects toys and Christmas hampers for families that can’t afford to buy gifts at the holidays. The annual event is also known as the Mayors’ Wives Tea, organized this year by Jean Schaffer of Langley City and Debbie Froese of Langley Township. The duo found a huge number of people eager to come back after last year’s successful Thank You For Caring Tea. “We almost sold out two weeks before the event,” said Schaffer. The event saw 500 people gather in their finest duds for tea, a luncheon, and entertainment. There was also a great deal of community support even before the event began.
Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance
Pauline Hooseman, left, Donna MacReadie, and Kathy Neuman, right, were among 500 guests at the Mayors’ Wives Tea. Sarah Rind donated a jewelry package of a sterling silver necklace, bracelet and earings from the Sky Phoenix Wild Star collection, valued at $2,000. The prize was distributed through Christmas crackers, one of which contained a ticket for the jewelry. Frostings Bakery donated the desserts and other businesses also provided goods. Before the festivities commenced, there was a reminder about the good cause behind the tea and cupcakes. “We’re probably the only business in town that doesn’t want its numbers to go up every year,” noted event MC Jim McGregor as he welcomed the crowd. But numbers are up, said
Leigh Castron, who is one of the main bureau organizers along with McGregor. At this time last year, 305 families had registered with the Christmas bureau. There are already more than 400 registered for 2014, and 70 of the families are new to the charity. Castron said it does seem demand is going up. “We certainly do need your help,” she told the assembled crowd. The event was a success, on both attendance and financial support for the Christmas bureau. Not only was it sold out, but Castron said the entire event seems to have made more money than in 2013, when it raised $23,000. At press time on Monday, organizers were still counting the proceeds.

TWU weighing options for Virk
The local private Christian university faces a new challenge for its law school. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The society is active, providing funds for various local causes and firefighter-supported charities.
Trinity Western University is facing the loss of provincial approval for its law school. Under the approval granted by Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk, the school must enrol students by December 2016. TWU had planned to open the school September 2016 but it now in court fighting law societies in B.C., Ontario and Nova Scotia over their not accrediting the school. Without
accreditation TWU grads could not practise law in those provinces. The Virk gave the school until Nov. 28 to respond to the potential loss of provincial approval. “We are considering our response,” said TWU president Bob Kuhn, JD. “We remain confident that the carefully evaluated decision of the minister will not change because of public pressure.” TWU would be the first law school at a private Canadian university. TWU is fighting back against those who don’t believe a religious-based institution can educate lawyers who can represent clients of different beliefs. TWU is mounting court challenges against the legal societies of Nova Scotia and Ontario for decisions not

to accredit the school which means its grads cannot automatically practice law there. Those cases are in court Dec 16-19 for Nova Scotia and in mid January 2015 for Ontario. Virk noted that those legal actions may not be done before the provincial approval expires. He’s asked TWU to submit a response. At heart is the school’s Community Covenant that is a behaviour pledge. Students and staff must sign it. The point of contention is the covenants insistance of sexual abstinance before marriage which it defines as between a man and a woman. Some have said it’s homophobic.

Langley man charged after car rams cruisers A local suspect is facing numerous charges after allegedly hitting Surrey RCMP cruisers. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Surrey RCMP fired shots at a car during an attempted arrest Friday afternoon, and one of the men later arrested is from Langley. Langley Mounties have also taken over the investigation into the officer-involved shooting. On Friday at about 12:30 p.m., Surrey plainclothes officers tried to stop a suspect vehicle in the 7100 block of Hall Road. According to the Surrey RCMP, the car then hit two police vehicles while trying to flee. Officers fired shots but no one was hit. The vehicle was stopped and
the three people inside were arrested. Two officers and one of the occupants of the suspect car were taken to hospital for treatment, and all three occupants of the car were taken into custody. Daniel Monaghan, a 26-yearold Langley resident, is charged with two counts of assault with a weapon and two counts of assaulting a peace officer, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, wilfully resisting or obstructing a peace officer, and possessing a break-in instrument. David Traill, a 52-year-old Surrey man, was the passenger in the car and has been charged with resisting arrest and breach of a conditional sentence order. A 21-year-old woman, the second passenger, was released and is still facing charges, but none have been laid yet, according to the Surrey RCMP. The Langley RCMP Serious Crime Unit is looking into the firing of shots.

Begin fighting violence at home
Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. In Canada, our first thought is usually about what we might be able to do for unfortunate women who live in oppressive societies in other parts of the world. It’s easy to associate the problem with Middle Eastern countries like Iran, where legal restrictions on women’s rights and movements result in harsh punishments for what we would consider minor infractions (if we see them as “infractions” at all). An assault on women’s freedoms in Turkey has been making the news. Turkey’s president has asserted outright that women are “not equal” to men, while suggesting that the “special status” accorded to mother in Islam – his view of Islam, at least – makes it all right. After a few decades of an apparently growing global awareness of the rights of women, it seems things are moving back towards darkness. But the problem isn’t “over there.” It’s right here at home. Up to 50 per cent of women in this country have suffered sexual or physical abuse. The concept of “equal pay for work of equal value” still wins derisive laughter from many men, despite the fact that it is a significant problem with the wage gap running at anywhere between 10 and 20 per cent, depending on sources. Those are rough estimates, but here are some more solid numbers – Statistics Canada has determined that, every night in this country, an average of more than 3,000 women are sleeping in shelters to escape abuse, and an average of more than 400 per day can’t be accommodated by Canada’s 600 or so existing shelters. Women are 11 times more likely than men to suffer sexual violence. In Canada. And children are often caught in the middle when Mom gets beat up or can’t get a decent job and feels she has to live in fear of Dad. Violence against women gets international attention. But the solutions have to start right here at home. – B.G.

Politics keeps up with ordinary Because my brushes with politicians up till then had been at a distance – people who rated appearances on the nightly news and the front pages of newspapers – I was unprepared for the ordinariness of the people sitting Bob Groeneveld around the council table. editor@langleyadvance.com Indeed, I learned over the years, through personal encounters with MPs and MLAs and an occasional premier or prime minister I grew up discussing politics around the that the reality of those folks at the Langley house from about as young as I can rememTownship council table was the reality of polber: at the dinner table, in the living room, while loading bales of hay on the trailer, while itics in general, from Ottawa to Washington, from cities like Vancouver to comfortable vilmilking the cows or feeding the chickens.

Aldergrove water
Water depletion out of control
Dear Editor, I have not questioned this in a while, but it is now becoming apparent that the situation is out of control. Continual – 24/7 – pumping out of our aquifer at the corner of 248th Street and 52nd Avenue just seems to never end! At this time of year, it is vital that our aquifer be recharged after a long and dry summer, but the construction company seems to be completely ignorant of that fact. We have now noticed the pumping for a solid three weeks, even on weekends, and yet there seems to be no action or sign of completion of the work in that one spot whatsoever. What is going on there? No other portion
of the line has taken this long. I realize there are still a lot of issues with the line, including what is happening at the Salmon River, but if work is then why must we be Letters stalled, subjected to seeing our water to the just pumped out, day in and day out? If they cannot work there right now, then shut off the pumps. Editor At this point, all our wells will be dry by the end of the year. Congratulations to our mayor and councilors in the recent election, but now we really need to see some action on this vital situation. Pam Erikson, Salmon River Uplands
Aldergrove water
Poor choices risking environment
Dear Editor, The Salmon River Enhancement Society has significant concerns about the East Langley pipeline project carrying water to Aldergrove. The pipeline has caused major damage to the banks of the Salmon
River at 52nd Avenue and 244th Street. Small tributaries, at least one of which appears to be a coded (i.e. protected) tributary, have been covered over and lost. A wider swath of trees and vegetation has been removed than promised.
Federal government
Ads should be more positive
Dear Editor, The federal government spent a lot of money promoting the use of fireworks. Ads were on TV, as well as on the government web site and elsewhere. Somehow, the ads promote Canada as strong, proud and free. I don’t understand the connection between fireworks and strong, proud, and free. Someone set off fireworks here in Murrayville, and it concerns me that the persons setting them off may have been influenced by federal government ads. I would like the Township of Langley to contact and try to convince the federal government to advertise more positive things. A good example would be to promote organic gardening. Canadians have a much better chance of being strong, proud, and free if they eat organic food rather than the pesticide-contaminated processed food in the stores today. Wally Martin, Murrayville
What you’re telling us on Facebook Reaction to our story about the B.C. •government perhaps withdrawing its
support for a law school at TWU wasn’t terribly supportive of TWU:
Dee Perkes – Perhaps they can take that support and build us a new high school then. Hammer Jason – Good, I hope they lose it twice. Have they tried praying to God for him to step in? Oh wait, we all know why that will never happen (he’s not real). Aaron Sifo-Dyas – Does it make sense at all for them to have the school if graduates won’t be allowed to practice anywhere? I don’t understand why it’s still a possibility. Vicky O’Connor – Yup, like he said. Todd Hauptman’s views on the need •forLetter-writer shelter for homeless youth, on the other hand, received considerable support.
Lilianne Fuller – Well said. Great letter. Simmi Dhillon – Good for you Todd for bringing this up. Enough of Langley’s “brushing it under the rug” politics. Gail Rouse Greenfield – Covenant House Vancouver provides the only youth-specific shelter in Vancouver; time for every city to incorporate this model.

Removing trees destabilizes the steep ravine, so a landslide is possible. When the project was first contemplated, SRES advocated routing the pipeline along 64th Avenue rather than 52nd, as 64th would have carried with it a much lower environmental risk. Compounding the risk, Langley Township chose not to directionally drill the pipe from the top of the bank. We have yet to be given an adequate explanation for this failure. Directional drilling would have prevented the destruction that has horrified the neighbourhood. Doug McFee, Langley
West Langley
Dear Editor, How times have changed, eh? Back in the day when L’ecole des voyageurs was Topham Elementary School in West Langley, a hog wandering onto the playground [Rogue pig corralled at Walnut Grove school, Oct. 30, Langley Advance] would have been no big deal. Most of the kids could have told you where it had come from, and some of them would probably have known it’s name. A few might even have been from the farm it came from. A couple of the Grade 6 boys would have gotten some rope for a halter – Grade 6 boys always had access to rope – and would have led it back to it’s pen. No “Code Yellows.” No RCMP. Isn’t progress wonderful? Brian Johnson, Willoughby Letters on this page have been edited for space.

With the help of Global BC news personality Steve Darling (far right), volunteers with the Tiny Kittens project of LAPS presented Dr. Renee Ferguson, (second from the left) of Mountain View Veterinarian Hospital, with a new Shepherd Moose Award for “extraordinary acts of veterinary prowess.”
Langley Fundamental School performers, who presented the Wizard of Oz this spring, took another quick trip down the yellow brick road during the recent Furry Tail Endings Gala held for the Langley Animal Protection Society. This was in keeping with the theme of this year’s animal welfare fundraiser was “There’s No Place Like Home.” The cast included music teacher Steve Thompson (left to right), Arianne Thompson as Dorothy, Caleb Wolff as Oz, Bradley Thompson as the Tinman, Brock Fast as the lion, Tanika Dolfo as the scarecrow, and Dianna Fast.

Fundraising
by Heather Colpitts New pajamas are a Christmas tradition for many families and now a local ‘jammie fairy’ is asking for donations to provide pajamas to the Langley Christmas Bureau. “We all know how comfy and cozy it feels to receive brand new pajamas at Christmas,” said organizer Mary Lou Robertson. The goal is to provide that experience to kids whose families might not be able to afford things most people take for granted. Giving couldn’t be easier. There’s a pajama drive Dec. 6 and 7 to gather up donations. The campaign started with a nurse at HealthLinkBC who retired from it in 2013. Initially it was just done through work. Last year the pajamas were donated to two groups – 100 pairs to the Oak Avenue Neighborhood House in Surrey and 100 pairs to Langley’s Christmas Bureau. A co-worker of the nurse, Robertson took on the role of ‘jammie fairy’ and the pajama campaign is now open to the public. All donations this year will go to the Langley Christmas Bureau. People are asked to drop off a pair of new pajamas for a child or teen, boy or girl. Many buyers focus on items for small children. People are reminded not to overlook older teens and tweens. The pajama drive Dec. 6 and 7 is at the Langley Wal-Mart. It runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days and a table will be set up to accept donations. Any money donated will be used to buy pajamas. All the ‘jammies’ will be delivered to the Christmas Bureau in time to

Learning Styles: Key to Academic Success
Einstein once said that if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life thinking that it’s a failure. The same goes for academics. Students learn and process information differently and if your child doesn’t process information in the way that it is presented in the classroom, they too may think that they’re a failure.
Visual learners These kinds of learners like videos, pictures, charts, infographics and information displayed in a visual medium. When presenting information or new concepts, search for educational videos on the internet or explain using graphs, charts and drawings.
What if all your child needs to do is to learn to convert information into a format that they can process easily. Sure, you can put the onus on the teacher to present the information in different ways, but with crowded classrooms and so many different learning styles, it’s impossible to fulfill everyone’s needs.
Auditory learners Good listeners, these students like to attend lectures and can benefit from reading aloud when they study. They can download webinars and podcasts from the internet and will do well in more traditional classrooms settings. They like to talk and discuss and often enjoy music. Let them explain things to you and talk about topics that might come up in exams, and even record lectures in class.
Luckily, help is at hand. Start by determining what kind of learner your child is. Most children have a preference for one kind of learning but can manage a mix of styles.
Organizing notes, studying, and doing homework in a way that is tailored to a student’s learning style will result in better understanding and recall of study material.

Looking back… 1984: Votes draw 15 per cent Forty Years Ago
November 21, 1974
Langley’s history, as recorded in the files of the Langley Advance. Eighty Years Ago
November 22, 1934
• An open house at the high school highlighted Langley’s new educational features, home economics and manual training.
Seventy Years Ago
November 23, 1944
• Flight Sergeant Bill Freeman was killed overseas, and Private Eugene M. Goller was reported missing in Holland.
Sixty Years Ago
November 25, 1954
• Provincial education minister Ray Williston, speaking at the annual Douglas Day banquet, noted that Langley’s school enrolment had risen from 13 in 1871 to 3,117 in 1954. • Langley received nearly six and a half inches of rain (16.5 cm) over five days.
Fifty Years Ago
November 26, 1964
• The annual Douglas Day banquet was held in the Langley High School auditorium. • Lower Mainland egg producers, dissatisfied with the B.C. Egg Producers Ass’n executive’s efforts to promote an egg marketing board, formed a new poutlrymen’s organization.
• Voter turnout in Langley’s civic elections was 17.26 per cent in the City and 26.23 per cent in the Township. City Mayor Bob Duckworth was acclaimed, while aldermen Merv Hunter, Aubrey Searle, Reg Easingwood, Mike Omelaniec, Iris Mooney, and Bill McMillan and school trustee Jack Dunham easily defeated all challengers. In the Township, Elford Nundal unseated 24-year veteran alderman Walter Jensen, Bill Blair held his seat, and Dan Kitsul’s re-election was in limbo, pending a judicial recount. Kay Armstrong and Bill Richardson picked up the two Township school trusteeships vacated by retiring incumbents.
Thirty Years Ago
November 21, 1984
• Aldermen Lorraine Murchison, Merv Hunter, Mike Omelaniec, Ron Logan, Tony Hargrave, and Andy Milne were re-elected to City council. Township voters returned school trustees Gordon Greenwood and Mike Johnstone and aldermen John Rennie, Elf Nundal, and Len Fowler. In both Langleys, the voter turnout was about 15 per cent.
Twenty Years Ago
November 23, 1994
• Susan Everett was picked to replace Langley Superintendent of Schools Emery Dosdall who was leaving
to take up the top position in the administration of Edmonton School District. • More than 80 pioneers were in attendance at the annual Douglas Day banquet at Langley Civic Centre. Ten Years Ago
November 23, 2004
• A senior citizen who dashed across the border and led police on a chase was arrested in apparent possession of 149 kilograms of cocaine. • Langley School Board immediately dismissed a Maple Ridge school board suggestion that all Fraser Valley school services be amalgamated and contracted out to private interests.
November 26, 2004
• A first-of-its-kind pilot project to prepare orphaned bear cubs for return to the wild was being operated in South Langley. • Langley Township councillor Muriel Arnason suggested that providing addicts with controlled amounts of drugs would help stem the tide of drug-driven crime. • A drug dealer was turned in to police by a client… for charging too much. • Langley resident and tugboat operator Captain Dave Whyment was presented with a Governor General’s commendation for his part in saving 12 people from drowning in the Fraser River. • More Looking Back… online at www.langleyadvance.com, click on ‘Living’

Keepers of history lauded Langley Centennial Museum volunteers won a provincial award. A group of dedicated volunteers who have been educating students and the community at Langley Centennial Museum for decades has been recognized with a prestigious provincial award. A Distinguished Service Award was presented to the museum’s docent team
by the British Columbia Museum Association (BCMA). Township Cultural Services manager Peter Tulumello presented the award to the docents on behalf of the association Nov. 13. “Our volunteers were up against some very stiff competition from much larger museums and cultural institutions,” Tulumello said. The award recognizes the docents’ volunteer ser-
vice to the community and the quality of educational programs they deliver to schools in the region. Being presented with the award was a huge honour for the museum and a significant accomplishment for the docents, said Jeff Chenatte, the museum’s art and heritage educator. “The BCMA has never before recognized a docent team for such a prestigious award,” Chenatte said. “By bestowing this award on this group, museum and
Township Arts and Cultural Services manager Peter Tulumello (second from left) presented the BCMA Distinguished Service Award to the lead docents (left to right) Christine Toth, Maureen Pepin, Maureen LePage, Terry Waddington, Alison Minto, Nan Coram and Linda Arksey. cultural professionals in this province are showing they recognize the calibre and quality of services

We are now the standard to which all others cultural volunteer organizations aspire towards.” The British Columbia Museum Association, which was founded in 1957 and incorporated in 1966, provides a unified voice for the institutions, trustees, professional staff, and volunteers of the BC museum and gallery community. The BCMA delivers programs and services to benefit its members and the community, and acts as the cultural information hub for British Columbia. It represents all museums from the Royal BC Museum in Victoria to the numerous one-room museums that can be found throughout the rural parts of B.C. Each year the BCMA hosts a professional conference and workshops for its members, which explore best practices for museums, galleries, and cultural institutions. The conference concludes with an annual awards banquet where the association rec-
ognizes excellence in various categories. In 2014, a nomination for a Distinguished Service Award was made to recognize the efforts of a group whose capacity, dedication, and professionalism has been experienced for four decades. Tulumello noted that two Langley Centennial Museum docents in particular have shown an extraordinary level of commitment: “Maureen LePage and Ratna Hira are pioneers in the truest sense when it comes to educational programs at the Langley Centennial Museum,” he said. “Both individuals started with us as volunteer docents in 1974 and remain active members of the docent team 40 years later.” “This level of dedication is truly amazing and the Township of Langley is blessed to have such individuals championing culture and heritage in the community,” Chenatte added. “I have always believed that if you want to leave footprints in the sands of time, wear work boots – and this group has, for the past 40 years!”

Titans top B.C. Phil Stall was named tournament MVP as Langley Fundamental Middle & Secondary School defeated Langley Christian in the final. by Troy Landreville
tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
The Langley Fundamental Middle & Secondary School’s junior boys volleyball team has capped an fantastic season with a B.C. title victory. In an all-Langley final, the Titans defeated the Langley Christian Lightning in four sets to win the provincial tournament in West Kelowna this past weekend (Nov. 20-22). Scores in the title game were 25-14, 2523, 16-25, and 25-19. To get to Saturday’s final at Mount Boucherie Secondary, the Titans swept Abbotsford’s MEI Eagles in two sets, in one of two semifinals played earlier that day. Langley Christian downed Delta’s Seaquam in two sets in the other semifinal. Winning the B.C. championship was
the pinnacle of a season that saw the Titans win the Fraser Valley crown at Earl Marriot Secondary in Surrey, with a twoset victory over Pacific Academy in the championship contest. Middle Phil Stahl made his biggest impact in the provincial semifinal and final games, and was named tournament MVP. “He was very dominant in the semis and in the final,” Titans head coach Dan Johnson said. Also having strong B.C. tournaments were left side/power Max Heppell and centre Zech Johnson, both of whom were named named first team all-stars. “They played very, very well throughout the tournament,” Johnson said, of Heppell and Johnson. For Langley Christian, Parker Heppell was a first team all-star. His Lightning teammate Brodie Hofer earned a second all-star team selection. Langley Christian’s Brandon Visscher got the nod as the tournament’s Most Valuable Libero. Momentum built up for the Titans heading into the B.C. championships. They had won the M.E.I. tournament and captured the Langley district title (beating Langley Christian) heading into the Fraser Valleys.

The Langley Fundamental Middle & Secondary School Titans celebrated their B.C. junior boys volleyball championship victory Saturday in Kelowna. Helping ease the pressure going into the B.C. championships was the fact that the Titans lost to MEI in the provincial semifinals last year. “That experience, I think they drew from,” Johnson said. “Yes we were tight
with anticipation but we were not too nervous.” The Titans had to battle past an extremely strong Langley Christian squad to capture the championship, Johnson added.

Rivermen stung by Vipers, down struggling Eagles
Langley split a pair of weekend home games.
The Langley Rivermen were snake bit Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. Playing their fourth game in five nights, Langley’s junior A hockey team was blanked 4-0 by the visiting Vernon Vipers. The Rivermen fell behind early, giving up two goals in less than five minutes in the first period. The Vipers would add another two in the third period and cruise to victory. The Rivermen’s offence was nowhere to be found as they were outshot 4724 and finished 0-7 on the power play. This marks the first team this season that the Rivermen have been shut out. Vernon went 2-7 with the man advantage, while goaltender Danny Todosychuk picked up his first shutout of the season. Bo Didur made 32 saves for the Rivermen and Darren Martin came in midway through the third period and stopped all 11 shots he faced. The Rivermen’s record is 12-9-1-3, and they sit alone

They then came back to beat the Owls 3-0 for the title.
Interestingly, MEI is led by three people named Jordan – Team BC players Loewen (top hitter) and Koslowsky (setter) and 22-year-old coach Geransky. Tickets can be had online by visiting the tournament website, bchighschoolboysvolleyball.com, and clicking on the “tournament info” tab.

Bears win big in VMFL title game
North Langley’s peewees defeated the Abbotsford Falcons by a 36-6 score in the championship contest.
For the first time since 1995, the North Langley Bears are Valley Community Football League peewee division champions. The trophy was hoisted after a resounding 36-6 win over the Abbotsford Falcons Nov. 15 at McLeod Stadium. The Bears generated nearly 300 yards of offence and their highest point total of the season. They will be back at McLeod Saturday, Nov. 29 to face the Vancouver league champion, in their bid to win two titles in the same season. In regular season play the North Langley defence gave up the second fewest number of points in the league, and the Bears stayed true to form in the final by limiting the Abbotsford offence to a single touchdown and 129 yards total offence. Six times, the Bears forced a turnover on downs, twice after only three plays. Brandon Folkerts registered seven solo tackles and had a part in at least five others. Marcus Stang opened up the scoring near the end of the first quarter when he sped through a gap in the Abbotsford line and raced down the field for 80 yards and six points.
Langley Cribbage League Scores as of Nov. 20 Harmsworth 19, Fort Langley 17 Murrayville 19, Langley 17 Milner 20, Willoughby 16 Standings Harmsworth 154, Langley 152, Murrayville 149, Milner 149, Willoughby 131, F. Langley 129
With that run, the Bears’ leading rusher went over 1,000 years on the season. Near the end of the second quarter, Caleb Faust swept left after a fake hand-off to Stang going up the middle. Key blocks opened up a huge hole, enabling Faust to fly through the defence untouched to the end zone from the Abbotsford 43 yard line. On the opening drive of the third quarter, Faust had a similar scamper for 39 yards that took the ball into Abbotsford territory. That led to another major on a 20-yard run by Mathieu Gale. Down 20-0, the Falcons put together their longest possession of the game. Running back Carter Squire made a 20-yard catch and run on a third down play, and he capped off the drive with a fiveyard touchdown run. But on the pointafter attempt, Squire was brought down at the two yard line by North Langley’s Connor Bernardin. On the next possession, the Bears’ offence engineered a 73-yard drive, using up most of the fourth quarter and ending any chance of a comeback. Although the Falcons’ defence stopped the Bears at the three yard line, North Langley’s defence forced a quick turnover on downs. On the next play, Williams plowed ahead for the touchdown. Desperate for quick yardage the Falcons went to the air, but Mathieu Gale clipped their wings by intercepting an errant pass at the North Langley 43 yard line. With a wall of Bears ahead of him to block, he returned the ball 52 yards to the Abbotsford 15, and four plays later swept right from the eight yard line for his second major. Tyson Hoy’s point-after kick was one of three successful attempts on the day, yielding six points. – by Andy Faust
