DANIEL OGLOFF HIRED TO TEACH IN BASSANO MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

An Aldergrove Community Secondary School teacher suspended for playing a homophobic prank on a male student has apparently moved on to teach in Alberta.

Langley School District suspended metal shop teacher Daniel Ogloff for 10 weeks without pay from November 2013 to January 2014, for acting unprofessionally, disrespectfully and without regard for students’ physical and emotional safety.

His suspension is related to an incident in September, 2013.

Now the B.C. Commissioner for Teacher Regulation has suspended him for two more weeks. But the suspension doesn’t matter, because it appears Ogloff is now teaching in Bassano, a small town in southern Alberta.

In September 2013, during class, Ogloff placed a piece of masking tape on the back of the jacket of a Grade 11 male student without the student’s knowledge. The tape had the words “I’m gay” written on it.

Ogloff considered this horseplay. He then gestured “shh” to students after putting the tape on. Some students in the class were laughing and

taking photos.

Ogloff allowed the student to leave class with the tape on his back.

The district required that Ogloff participate in Restorative Action with the student, mandatory mentorship with another teacher and complete a course.

Ogloff disputed the appropriateness of this discipline.

He had a previous verbal warning in 2011 with respect to inappropriate comments he made to Grade 7 student. In 2012 he spoke disrespectfully to a female Grade 12 student. He has held a teaching certificate since 2008.

Langley School District spokesperson Ken Hoff couldn’t confirm whether he is still employed by the district.

“I can’t speak to personnel issues,” Hoff said.

CNKW Radio reported that the Alberta school district which hired Ogloff checked out his references and nothing indicated he had been disciplined or suspended.

“What I can say about that is when we are contacted for a reference we provide a full and accurate reference,” said Hoff.

He couldn’t comment as to whether or not they were contacted for a reference.

Police are looking for information about a violent altercation that took place Friday morning in Aldergrove.

But it doesn’t look like they are getting much help from the victim.

According to Langley RCMP, the 26-year-old man, who was stabbed repeatedly in the back and head is not willing to provide any information about his attacker to police.

He was taken by Air Ambulance to hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

The incident happened around 7 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 26 in the 26300 block of Fraser Highway, at the Chevron gas station.

So far, police say, the victim has been unco-operative with investigators and apparently, there were no witnesses to the event.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604532-3200 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477)

Jose Figueroa stays in touch with the outside world via his computer, but he hasn’t stepped outside Walnut Grove Lutheran Church since Oct. 4, 2013, when he took refuge there to avoid being arrested on a warrant by Canada Border Services Agency. Despite a judge ruling that the deportation order be reviewed again, CBSA is still prepared to arrest and deport him.

One year in sanctuary MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

Fresh air.

That is one of the things Jose Figueroa misses the most, after spending an entire year inside the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church, unable to step outside to feel sunshine on his face. He can’t go outside for fear he will be arrested by Canadian Border Service Agency officers who would hold him in an immigration detention centre.

For Figueroa, he has missed a Christmas at home with his family, his children’s birthday parties, and regular day-to-day life with his wife and kids.

“I miss my freedom,” he said on Thursday.

Saturday, Oct. 4 will mark exactly one year since the Langley father of three was forced to seek sanctuary inside his church after the CBSA put out a warrant for his arrest.

A potluck is being organized on Oct. 4 at 5:30 p.m. at the church. Figueroa is hoping the community will come out and support

his family’s quest to stay together in Canada.

Officers from the CBSA park at the church on a regular basis, making sure Figueroa stays within it, or else they are ready to arrest him.

Despite a federal judge ordering a stay of his deportation order, the CBSA didn’t drop the arrest warrant.

With support from his pastor and the congregation, Figueroa has lived an entire year within the walls of his church.

“Pastor Karl (Keller) has been a great support and so have the members of this church. Many bring me food,” he said.

A very small room has been converted into his bedroom with a bunk bed for his children to sleep there too. The communal kitchen is his place to make meals, and luckily there is a shower so he can stay clean. A local personal trainer had volunteered time to work out with him to help him keep fit.

“I haven’t dared to step out to the back yard, so I’ve never been outside this whole year,” he said. His skin has lightened.

His wife and children visit all the time, and many times the girls stay the night — but Figueroa said they have grown bored of playing at the church.

“Kids need to go places and be with their friends.”

Despite a federal judge ruling that Figueroa’s deportation order be sent back for another review by a different officer, the CBSA still has him under surveillance.

“From my perspective, I can’t understand why they are still out there wanting to arrest me like a criminal. I have done nothing wrong and I’m certainly not a criminal,” he said. “If the CBSA dropped the arrest warrant I could go back home, go back to work to provide for my family. The ministry must answer to why they are still pursuing the arrest warrant when a judge has clearly indicated my status in Canada needs to be reviewed.”

In fact, Federal Court Judge Mosley questioned and couldn’t find reasonable answers from the immigration ministry’s lawyer as to why Figueroa was considered

Two people were taken to hospital for smoke inhalation after trying to put out an electrical fire in a bedroom of a Langley City townhouse on Wednesday evening.

Around 6 p.m., City fire crews were called to the townhouse in the 20500 block of 51A Avenue.

The family of three were downstairs when the smoke alarm went off. At the same time, a neighbour who saw thick black smoke billowing from the bedroom banged on the door to let the family know.

“Unfortunately, two of the three in this family went upstairs to fight the fire,” said assistant fire chief Pete Methot. “They should have shut the door and left the home.”

Firefighters were able to contain the fire to the bedroom but most of the furniture, the floor and blinds were damaged, he said.

Fire investigators believe the fire was caused by too many pinched or bent electrical wires, causing the computer to short and catch fire. The computer screen and keyboard were melted.

There were several cords near the computer, and some were bent, he said.

“When electrical wires are constricted it doesn’t allow them to expand and contract, causing them to heat up,” said Methot.

Electrical fires are far too common, he said.

“We tend to overload our power bars, have wires running under carpets or wires bent or pinched,” he said.

While the fire department does inspect businesses and care homes for this type of thing, homes are not looked at.

Not guilty of assault Aldergrove senior Roelof Den Dryver, 74, was found guilty of theft over $5,000 and possession of stolen property over $5,000, as well as reporting an offence committed when it was not.

However, he was acquitted of assaulting a police officer, not found guilty, as a Times report published Sept. 25 indicated.

He will be sentenced Oct. 3 in Surrey Provincial Court.

Lawyers to vote on law school proposal Figueroa waiting D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The Law Society of B.C. has decided to hold a province-wide vote on whether the accreditation of the new law school at Trinity Western University in Langley should be rescinded.

The Law Society’s board of governors, known as Benchers, made the decision Friday to conduct a referendum of all B.C. lawyers.

The vote will decide whether to implement a resolution passed at the special general meeting of the Law Society held on June 10, declaring that the proposed law school at Trinity Western University is not an approved faculty of law for the purpose of the Law Society’s admission program.

A written statement issued by the so-

ciety said the resolution will be binding and will be implemented by the Benchers if at least one-third of all lawyers in good standing of the Law Society vote in the referendum, and twothirds of those voting vote in favour of the resolution.

The referendum will be held as soon as possible and the results will be available on the Law Society website no later than October 30. “Benchers decided that in a matter as important as this, it was important to provide all lawyers with the opportunity to express their views through a referendum,� society president Jan Lindsay said.

The Law Society of British Columbia regulates more than 11,000 practising lawyers in the province, setting and enforcing standards of professional

conduct. “We are disappointed with this decision,� said TWU spokesperson Guy Saffold. “The Benchers originally approved TWU graduates based on constitutional principles and the rule of law. They have now decided that the matter should be determined by popular vote.�

The controversy over the proposed TWU law school centres around a community covenant at the Christian university, which students and faculty members to are required to sign, saying they will not have sex outside heterosexual marriage.

Langley MP Mark Warawa issued a written statement casting the issue as one of religious freedom.

a threat and therefore inadmissible when the FMLN, the political organization he supported in El Salvador is not on any Canadian terrorist list, never has been and is now the current democratically elected government there.

Mosley even suggested to the ministry that if Figueroa was not granted permanent status in Canada, then potentially the same decision should apply to the thousands of El Salvadorians living in Canada.

Just last week, Langley MP Mark Warawa sent yet another letter of support for Figueroa, calling on the government to let him stay in Canada permanently, emphasizing that he is a “model citizen.� He is in full support of Figueroa being able to stay in Canada with his family and calls on his government to have “common sense.� Yet, Figueroa remains trapped — waiting for common sense to prevail.

Police still on hunt for suspects following theft of cash registers MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Two suspects who robbed the Old Navy store and then fled to a nearby townhouse complex, causing a flurry of police activity on Wednesday, are still at large.

Police were called around 12:30 p.m. after two men entered the Old Navy store carrying knives and demanding the clerk open the tills. The clerk told them this could not be done without a manager, said police. The men weren’t satisfied with that answer, so they grabbed two entire cash registers and fled the store. Both suspects wore black hoodies, dark pants, gloves and bandanas.

Police believe they fled in a stolen vehicle to a nearby townhouse complex in the 20400 block of 66 Avenue.

Not even 10 minutes later, police were called about a break and enter in progress at a residence in that complex.

The suspects matched the description of the Old Navy culprits. Further, they were associated to the same stolen vehicle which was located there and later seized.

Police descended on the complex, telling residents to stay inside their homes while they investigated.

Langley RCMP officers entered a townhouse in the 20400 block of 66 Avenue Wednesday afternoon and then exited carrying a cash register — one of two taken during a robbery at the Old Navy the same day. Police were pursuing suspects from the store hold-up. located one of the cash registers which has been seized for examination, said Cpl. Holly Marks.

A police dog attended but was unable to establish a track and the suspects were able to get away, said Marks.

One resident said there has been one problem unit in the complex. Some residents also said owners of that unit have allowed their pit bulls to roam free in the family-friendly complex.

Other neighbours thought the police situation was in connection to a person being bitten by one of those dogs the day prior.

Langley animal shelter manager Sean Baker confirms that Langley RCMP did ask them to assist them to that residence to help with a dog fight and a person bit.

“From what we understand, the person that was bit was taken to hospital and was the owner of the dog,” said Baker. The victim was visiting the person at that unit and his pit bull got in a fight with one of the residents’ pit bull. This visitor tried to break up the fight and got bit.

“So we don’t have a file on this case because we don’t have a complainant,” he said.

They do have one complaint of the two pit bulls roaming loose in the complex a couple weeks ago, but no notes of aggression.

Meanwhile, police are hoping to track down the suspects in the robbery. If you have any information call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or if you wish to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

There is a great deal of speculation about whether the much-touted liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry will get off the ground in B.C., in light of a statement by the CEO of Petronas, the Malaysian company which many observers felt was most likely to proceed with an LNG plant.

The next two years will be the proof, when final investment decisions by a number of companies will be made.

Much of the holdup is due to the tax structure the province is considering for LNG plants, and the decisions also take into account federal tax law.

One thing is certain. Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman, the minister responsible for natural gas development, is doing everything in his power to try and get some of the proponents to commit to building LNG plants.

Coleman has said, over and over, that negotiations on the plants are challenging and tricky, but he is convinced the plants can be economically viable.

The investment that has been proposed is gargantuan — although it is likely that only a few plants will be built.

Nonetheless, Coleman is doing what he can to work for B.C.’s future.

If you don’t know much about politics, your municipal government or your local school board, now is the time to learn. With the elections coming Nov. 15, we have less than two months to educative ourselves on who we wish to represent us in their governing decisions and financial expenditures.

With the new four-year term for mayor and councillors, it amplifies the importance of getting the right person and the right group to work together as a team. If you think the choice is obvious or if poll predictions that one party or person will win lulls you into hibernation, thinking in a cozy haze that you can count on the rest of the residents to make the “correct” decision for you, think again.

Everyone has issues that mean more to them than others. Sitting on on meetings of council and boards of education, attending candidate forums, reading about their platforms and asking questions all help to better understand those who are running.

It might be confusing at first, but it gets easier.

Local government representatives must work together for their constituents, who pay their remuneration with their taxes. And every fall they go to the 2014 Union of BC Municipalities conference (UBCM). Who’s in the driver’s seat is important.

As a voter you can also help hold them accountable and reward your representative(s) with praise when it is due.

They are there to represent you but it’s up to you to voice your priorities to them.

Oct. 10 is the deadline to submit nominations. However, several candidates have already announced their intentions to run.

The 2011 voter turnout was a sad reflection of people taking the democratic right to vote for granted. Whether it was eligible voters laden with apathy or folks who simply didn’t like their choices was uncertain.

If you’re 18 years or older, have lived in the community in which you are voting for 30 days and have been a resident of B.C. for six months, you can vote unless you have been found guilty of an election offence or are currently incarcerated.

Whether you’re running for office or voting, here are some statistics which demonstrate the importance of getting engaged in the elections now, so you know the candidates you will have to choose from.

In the 2011 local municipal elections in Nelson, 33.3 per cent of voters cast a ballot. Compare that to Greenwood which saw a 69.8 per cent turn out. The election for mayor was won by a mere four votes, which supports the adage every vote counts.

In the Village of Salmo, there was no election, as all officials kept their seats by acclamation.

There could be some changes to that local government this fall, or not. It’s up to you, the voter.

— Nelson Star

Editor: I just wanted to send you and your readers an update about my Dad’s (Franco Canale’s) stolen bike.

My letter was published in The Times on Tuesday, Sept. 16. Since then, he has received a new bike from an extremely generous family friend, who saw the letter in the paper.

He is so happy to be on the road again.

We have also received many offers of donations from members of the community, which have enabled him to purchase a new helmet, lock and paniers. We are overwhelmed by the generosity of these wonderful people, and family extends our deepest gratitude.

BRENDAN MARTIN, LANGLEY

Important to support your local candidate Editor: I am a Surrey resident of 52 years.

I have lived in Surrey all my life. In fact, today I live one mile from where I grew up.

I am very fond of Surrey, most particularly the Clayton Hill/Cloverdale area.

I began to do my candidate research early, as we have a federal election scheduled for the fall of 2015, and in Surrey and Langley, a new riding has been created — Cloverdale-Langley City.

The Conservative nomination race in the Cloverdale-Langley City riding has, to date, five candidates. (Editor’s note — A sixth candidate has just entered the race).

Of the five, only one lives in the riding

and has for more than 25 years. One other candidate has just moved, to call it his riding. The others do not.

I urge each and every concerned constituent to do their homework. Find out everything they can about the candidates.

Who they are? What they stand for? Most important, what is their involvement in our community. Do they really have this riding at heart?

When I go to the polls and vote, it’s going to be for someone who has lived here.

I support someone who reaches out and gets involved in community events — such as The Terry Fox Run, Red Cross

Blood Donor Clinics and Special Olympics, just to name a few. He is someone who has seniors at heart and gets involved with non-profit, low-cost senior housing.

I am going to throw my support behind Mike Garisto. He believes in the Cloverdale-Langley City riding.

He has lived here for some 25 years and continues to be a voice for my community of 52 years.

It is a community that I am proud to call home.

Editor: Re: Report card time for local politicians (B.C. Views, The Times, Sept.

25).

Communism lovers hypocritically talk out of both ends and cost taxpayers. Ben Isitt should not change Canada to the system he loves, he should just pack his bags and go to Venezuela or Russia or maybe North Korea, where the system he loves is ready and waiting for him.

Then he can experience the acceptance of his ideas and free speech.

It’s our duty as citizens to be informed so we don’t elect loony-tunes. They do hide behind lovely words, only when elected their mask comes off and we learn who they really are by what they do.

The KISS theory works perfectly for me. Keep it simple. If we have a great and strong economy we have jobs and then health care, education, roads, police, research, pensions, everything can be paid by us taxpayers, everything. Do not elect pie-in-the-sky, full of ideas, overly-zealous environmentalists, fringed religious fanatics who want to change everything.

If they want to change it, that means they don’t love it. Most of all do not elect people who push their agendas, thinking they know better than the people who elected them. Elect people with a strong economy priority and a healthy balance — those who will change their mind when facts change, who are passionate and most of all, love our country and love our community.

VERA DIDUCH, KELOWNA

Keep paper ballot Editor: Recent news reports have again brought into focus the problems with electronic voting. Langley has used voting machines in the past and many persons I have talked to do not trust the results.

I would like to see a paper ballot in the upcoming election that is manually counted in front of scrutineers and retained securely for recount if needed.

A famous quote — “The people that cast ballots do not decide the result. It is those that count the ballots that decide the election result.”

Why bother voting if you can’t trust the results?

Musical potpourri at SAC

LANGLEY SINGER AND DIRECTOR PUT THEIR STAMP ON BROADWAY STYLE FUNDRAISER ALE X B RO W N E Bl ack Pre s s

If the upcoming Night On Broadway show at Surrey Arts Centre is to be the last of the series, creators Debra Da Vaughn and Christopher Simmons are determined that their annual fundraiser for the Surrey Food Bank will go out with a bang.

Their eighth annual musical potpourri, A Night On Broadway — After Hours will hit the stage Saturday Oct. 4 (3 p.m. matinee, 7:30 p.m. evening performance).

The wife-husband, soprano-tenor team will once again feature a hand-picked group of first-class musical and theatrical troupers for a must-see show full of great melodies, emotional highlights and more than a few chuckles — all to benefit a highly worthwhile cause.

It’s jointly presented by the food bank with principal sponsors Envision Financial and Da Vaughn Studios — and, as always, 100 per cent of ticket proceeds go directly to the bank’s programs to help those in need in the community.

“It’s been great,” Simmons said of the series, which originally began as a salute to opera before embracing the accessibility of show tunes, and even an excursion to Hollywood repertoire last year.

But the last year of Envision’s five-year commitment to underwriting costs has to, inevitably, raise questions about the future of the project.

“Ultimately we’d have to find a way to keep it going — and we’d need to find another major sponsor,” Simmons said.

Ticket sales have flattened over the last few years, the couple acknowledge, and the effectiveness of the fundraiser ultimately depends on a high level of public response.

“We’ve poured heart and soul into this,” Da Vaughn said.

“It’s been a fantastic event, people have been on their feet applauding at the end, and we always have people telling us how much they enjoyed it.

“Who knows? If we have a surge of interest, we might keep going with it.”

This edition is the nearest they’ve come to a plot show, they say.

“The new focus is more on story and acting elements tying together the numbers,” Simmons said.

While the first act will still hew largely to the show-tune variety format, he explained, the second act will provide humour and also a character subtext to situation-driven musical excerpts.

“We have a new director this year — Faith Toronchuk of Langley,” said Da Vaughn.

“She’s done quite a lot of children’s theatre locally, and she’s written us a great script for this show.”

The first half will present extended excerpts from the scores of Anything Goes, Wicked, The King and I and Into The Woods.

“With those you can’t go wrong,” Simmons said.

“The second act is set in a Broadway af-

Pianist Angus Kellett, also unavailable last year, is back on board.

“He’s top drawer,” said Simmons.

“We love working with him — and there’s nobody who brings more out of 88 keys.”

Bassist Graham Clark and drummer Colin Parker also add their considerable talents to round out the band, while the cast will also be augmented in some scenes by the piping voices and energetic appeal of the youthful Ljindberg Show Choir, directed by Chad Matchette.

“They were extremely well-received last year,” Da Vaughn noted.

While it’s not as dance-heavy a show as last year, Elizabeth Lay, daughter of show producer Lyn Verra-Lay, has provided choreography for some of the numbers.

And Da Vaughn and Simmons again acknowledge the community spirit of Chris Thornley of Thornley Creative in providing graphics and layout for the show and also Green Timbers Covenant Church and the Newton Cultural Centre for donating rehearsal space to the project.

For tickets ($27 plus service charge, $25 for seniors and students) and information, call Surrey Arts Centre at 604-501-5566.

Dynamic Duo opens Café Classico season at LCMS DUO CONCERTANTE PERFORM ON PIANO AND VIOLIN AT ROSE GELLERT HALL OCT. 5 From Carnegie Hall to Langley, the Concerts Café Classico series at Langley Community Music School (LCMS) begins with a bang.

Or, rather, with a Sonata.

On Sunday, Oct. 5, world-renowned pianist and violinist the Duo Concertante will come to Langley to perform Bach to Beethoven at LCMS’ Rose Gellert Hall.

Praised by WholeNote Magazine for their “grace and fire… fury and repose… a triumphant mass of non-stop energy,” Concertante will be playing Sonata in E major, BWV 1016 by J.S. Bach, Claude Debussy’s Sonate, and the Sonata in A op.

47 (“Kreutzer”) by Ludwig van Beethoven.

The event starts at 2:30 p.m. featuring a conversation with the star guests, hosted

by LCMS artistic director Elizabeth Bergmann.

The audience will listen to anecdotal stories, gain some insight into life as a world-renowned performer, and learn the meaning behind the music.

Following the talk, there will be a short break with coffee and refreshments, before the performance from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

“I’m looking forward to welcoming Nancy Dahn and Timothy Steves of the Duo Concertante back to our stage for the second time,” said Bergmann.

“I’m eager to hear about their latest accomplishments and musical travels, and to share their stories with the audience.”

Musicians Nancy Dahn and Timothy Steves are looking forward to being back in Langley.

“We really enjoy touring . . . It’s so won-

derful to just focus on the music, play concerts and perform for/communicate with an audience,” said Bergmann.

Award-winning Duo Concertante violinist, Dahn, and pianist, Steeves, maintain a busy touring schedule which takes them across North America, Europe and China, performing at such facilities as Carnegie Hall in New York and the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing.

Heralded as “musical dynamite,” Duo Concertante are known for their classical performances and have produced multiple CDs and music videos.

The Langley Community Music School hosts multiple musical concerts from October to May, including the Rose Gellert Hall Series, a Saturday evening concert featuring well-known Canadian and international musicians, as well as the Concerts Café Classico Series, a Sunday afternoon concert series featuring stellar local and touring musicians playing classical, jazz or contemporary works.

Tickets for the Concerts Café Classico event are $15 adults, $13 seniors and $10 students.

What is unique about Hayhoe is her ability to communicate the science of climate change in a way that is both challenging and inviting. I saw her give an inspiring talk at an international conference this past summer. And you have a chance to hear her speak at Trinity Western University.

Her free public talk entitled “Climate Change: Facts, Fictions, and our Faith” is Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. in the Northwest Auditorium at Trinity Western University.

She is this year’s Distinguished Lecturer at TWU. Hope to see you there.

18th Annual Celebration of Excellence

There’s something fascinating about a smart person who defies stereotype.

That’s what makes my friend Katharine Hayhoe — a Texas Tech climatologist and an evangelical Christian — so interesting.

“It’s hard to be a good steward of the planet if you don’t accept the hard science behind what’s harming it, and it can be just as hard to take action to protect our world if you don’t love it as the rare gift it is.”

So wrote Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle (who plays Colonel James Rhodes in the Ironman movies), describing Hayhoe as one of Time Magazine’s list of 100 most influential people in 2014.

One other factoid Cheadle didn’t include is that Hayhoe is Canadian.

GARY AHUJA @LangleyTSports 604.514.6754 • sports@langleytimes.com

‘If I can’t play soccer, who am I?’ GARY AHUJA Times Sports

It is a question that every high-level athlete faces at some point.

Growing up and playing their chosen sport, they can sometimes be defined by whichever sporting endeavor they have decided to pursue.

For Kristen Santema, soccer was her game.

So when it was taken away from her, the 23-year-old Santema was left contemplating who she was without the game.

••• Santema first stepped on the pitch when she was five years old, and when it came time to focus on just one, it was an easy choice.

Eventually, her skill earned her a chance to play at the highest university level in Canada, with one of the premier programs in the country, the Trinity Western Spartans.

But following her sophomore season, Santema wasn’t feeling well.

“I just felt very weak and tired, just very fatigued,” she explained.

Her initial thought was that this was the result of being out of shape after the Christmas holidays.

Still not feeling better by March, she was sent for a blood test, but it wasn’t until six months later that doctors delivered a diagnosis — aplastic anemia, a rare bone marrow syndrome which leaves a person feeling fatigued and with a higher risk of infections and uncontrolled bleeding. The condition occurs when the body stops producing enough new blood cells.

Santema sat out the spring season in 2011 and the Canada West regular season in the fall. She also missed an opportunity to play for Canada in the summer of 2011 at the FISU (World University) Games in China.

Doctors monitored her health throughout the fall, waiting until her levels reached a certain point before they could begin treatment.

“It was frustrating,” Santema said. “I was too sick to play soccer, but not sick enough to get help.”

She took a regular course load that fall semester and began her chemotherapy in January, a full year after first feeling sick.

Ten days of treatment were followed by three months of travelling back-and-forth to Vancouver General Hospital.

Somehow, she managed to complete a pair of online courses while doing all of this, and with a clean bill of health, Santema made her return to the pitch in the fall of 2012.

SCOTT STEWART TWU Athletic Department

Kristen Santema (#16) is all smiles now that she is back playing soccer. The 23-year-old overcame aplastic anemia, which kept her off the field for the 2011 season. So far, the defender has played every minute of all six games this season for the Trinity Western Spartans.

She played limited defender. minutes that season.

“I kind of segregated myself from the team,” she said. “Just a very depressing and hard time for me.

“It made me question who I was: if I can’t play soccer — which is the only thing I am good at — what good am I, or who am I?” Being away from the game forced her to re-evalaute the priorities in her life.

“It was a really big learning experience for me to figure out that soccer can’t be everything because eventually it gets taken away, or I am not going to be able to play,” she said.

“So who am I without soccer?”

This difficult time helped Santema discover God. Until that point, Santema’s did believe in a higher power, but her relationship with God was pretty non-existent, she admitted.

“As far as I was concerned, my life was good and there was no need to go searching for anything more,” she said. “I was pretty self-absorbed and was living for myself, not realizing the bigger picture and the greater calling in my life.”

“I really began to seek out who is this God character, who is Jesus and does this have relevance in my life,” Santema said.

“And through my faith, I have been able to find out that I am more than soccer and soccer doesn’t completely define me.”

“While it was awful that I was not playing soccer, it is just a small piece of my life,” she said.

“I realized what is most important is to serve others and to love others.”

Santema considers being back on the pitch a gift.

“I didn’t know if I would play again,” she said.

“It has been really rewarding and I am just so thankful I am able to put my boots on and play and contribute.”

“I am here on this team to encourage my teammates, make my teammates better, serve in whatever way I can,” Santema added.

“I think for the first time I have been able to set aside my own individual ambitions and focus on my teammates.”

Roxburgh is just happy she came back.

“She is real special young lady who has had to deal with some harsh adversity,” he said.

“And I think she is being rewarded for her perseverance and staying the course when maybe it would have been easier to say ‘this chapter in my life is over.’”

Santema, who is in her final year of eligibility, is set to graduate in December with a degree in kinesiology and she hopes to study to become a physiotherapist.

Spooktacular PHOTO CONTEST!

Poletto pots pair as Spartan men win twice; women’s team still unbeaten When Vito Poletto scores, the Trinity Western Spartans win, simple as that.

Poletto scored twice — once on Friday and again on Saturday — and both times, the Spartans men’s soccer team was victorious.

The team improved to 3-2-1 with Poletto scoring in all three victories.

Trinity Western was hosting the UBC Okanagan Heat the first night and the Thompson Rivers WolfPack, the next, with both games played at TWU’s Rogers Field.

The Spartans beat the Heat 2-1 and the WolfPack 1-0.

“I think we played really well in certain matches,” said Spartans coach Pat Rohla.

“The times we moved through with a penetrating pass that linked into a penetrating run, we were fine.

“The times we took it wide and came back inside and took it through, we were great. But we didn’t have enough frequency of that.”

The lone goal came in the 41st minute when Poletto took a pass from Joel Waterman, raced through the middle of the park, and then whipped a shot back across his body to beat the Thompson Rivers goalkeeper.

That was more than enough offence as Evan Lowther stopped all three WolfPack shots which were on target.

Against the Heat — who had beaten the Spartans 2-1 earlier this month — Dominic Reinold scored in the fourth minute and Poletto doubled the lead in the 47th minute.

The Heat’s Andrew Stevenson scored in the 90th minute to ruin Lowther’s shutout bid. The goalkeeper did finish with three saves.

••• Ally Oliverio scored on a penalty kick while her sister Christina posted a shutout as the Trinity Western Spartans remain unbeaten on the season.

The Spartans women’s soccer team defeated the Thompson Rivers WolfPack 1-0 on Saturday at Rogers Park on the TWU campus.

Trinity Western also played at home the night before with Jessica King scoring a hat trick in a 5-2 win over the UBC Okanagan Heat. Krista Gommeringer and Vanessa Kovacs had the other TWU goals.

The results improve the team — who were listed third in last week’s national rankings — to 5-0-1.

“It’s very positive that we won, but we

know that we can be better,” said TWU coach Graham Roxburgh, following Saturday’s victory.

“There were good performances tonight, but we just weren’t really that sharp.”

He did single out the play of Jenn Castillo and Kat Chin as standing out on Saturday, while Lindsay Pulice did so the game before.

The Spartans dominated the game as they fired 24 shots at the Thompson Rivers net, with nine hitting the target.

By comparison, the WolfPack attempted nine shots, but none were on goal.

Against the Heat, TWU scored on five of their six shots on goal and they never trailed, going ahead in the second minute.

King had scored in the first five Spartans games this season before failing to find the back of the WolfPack net on Saturday.

She is tied for the Canada West lead with eight goals through the first six games.

••• Both Spartan soccer teams are on the road this weekend in Prince George for a pair of games against the UNBC Timberwolves.

Knights still searching for first road victory A three-goal lead after one period was not enough for the Langley Knights to earn their first road victory of the Pacific Junior Hockey League.

The Knights squandered a 3-0 lead as the host Grandview Steelers scored five times in the middle frame on their way to a 6-5 victory on Sunday afternoon at the Burnaby Winter Club.

Langley fell to 3-3-0-0 on the season while Grandview improved to 5-2-0-0.

All three wins have come at the George Preston Recre-

ation Centre.

Blake Gorrill, Tristan Craighead, Colin Catchpole, Jayden Gill and Carson Rose had the Langley goals.

The Knights were coming off an 11-4 home-ice victory over the Port Moody Panthers on Sept. 25.

In that game, Dylan McCann scored a hat trick and finished with four points while Levi De Waal scored once and set up three others in the rout.

Special teams were huge in the victory as Langley scored

three times with the man advantage and added another three on the penalty kill.

Rose (two goals, one assist), Oliver Alcock (two goals), Donovan Shambeau (one goal, one assist), Mitchell Biermann (one goal, one assist) and Alex Kalua (one goal) also found the back of the net.

Blake Gorrill chipped in with three assists.

The Knights will look to keep their perfect home record intact as they host the

Ridge Meadows Flames on Thursday (Oct. 2) at the Preston Centre.

••• The Aldergrove Kodiaks improved to 2-1-1-1 after a 7-1 pasting over the Port Moody Panthers last week (Sept. 24).

Cameron Davitt led the way with a pair of goals for the Kodiaks.

The Kodiaks visit the Delta Ice Hawks tonight (Tuesday) and host the Mission City Outlaws tomorrow (Wednesday) at Aldergrove Arena.
