Politics

New premier meets with local Liberal MLAs Reaction to Christy Clark’s election depends on party.

Langley’s Liberal MLAs were all smiles Monday after Christy Clark’s win at the BC Liberal leadership election on Saturday.

Rich Coleman (Fort LangleyAldergrove) and Mary Polak (Langley) both supported secondplace contender Kevin Falcon, but they said the party will pull together behind Clark.

“If you believe in your party, as a member, you know the

membership made this choice,” Coleman said.

Polak noted that the coalition of federal Conservatives and Liberals that compose the BC Liberals has to pull together.

She said there is always a need for compromise in politics.

“Any new leader has to reach out to the people in the camp that didn’t win,” she said.

Clark will only be British Columbia’s second woman in the premier’s office, but Polak said gender politics are not much of an issue any more.

If Clark does win an election, she would be the first woman to contest and hold on to power

at the polls here. Rita Johnston served as premier in the wake of Bill Vander Zalm leaving office in the early 1990s.

While the Liberals are welcoming a new leader, the NDP is welcoming a new opponent.

“I don’t think she’s much of a change, really,” said Brian Harder, president of the NDP in the Fort Langley-Aldergrove riding.

Harder said Clark has come into office offering praise for outgoing premier Gordon Campbell, yet also promising a new direction.

He expects the NDP will make much of Clark’s record as a cab-

inet minister and deputy premier in the early part of the last decade.

“She was a part of all the cuts when the Campbell government came in,” Harder said.

Clark has recently spoken of running in a by-election to win a seat in the legislature, but she has also said she wants to hold a general election relatively soon to win a mandate for her new government.

Coleman said there’s been no time yet to talk about an election.

Harder said the NDP will be ready any time an election is called. The NDP is also selecting a new leader.

The weekend was filled with singing, dancing, and even a poetry reading/performance art number as some 70 acts auditioned for the Langley Has Talent contest.

This was the first round of live auditions.

People had applied for the contest online or by submitting recorded auditions.

“The response was just about exactly what we thought,” commented Peter Luongo, who chairs the talent show committee.

Organized by the Langley Rotary Clubs, the event spotlights local talent, and is part of a campaign to create a performing arts venue for the community.

Approximately 95 acts applied but only 70 were allowed to audition.

“We’ve got a really nice variety,” he noted. “It’s going to be a really good show.”

Luongo explained that several acts could not meet the requirement of having at least one person from Langley and some local acts applied after the Feb. 23 deadline.

“We essentially had to say no,” he said.

But those that did meet the requirements and deadlines were invited to Noel Booth Elementary Feb. 26 and 27 to audition live.

“There’s lots of hidden talent in this community,” Luongo said.

Joining him for the weekend judging were local actor Allan Thain and dance teacher Suzanne Zelmer, who owns Dance Trance.

She’s glad to take part to help spotlight the need for a performing arts venue in Langley.

“I always had to go somewhere else for my recitals,” she explained.

She said there is a need in the community, noting that Langley is home to many performers.

“A lot of people from the Langley area try out for shows like So You Think You Can Dance,” Zelmer noted.

The judges will whittle down the field to

The top 15 acts chosen at the April 16 semifinals will perform at the finals on April 30, when a winner will be chose by a combination of judges’ voting and public digital voting (via cellphone).

Tickets will be sold for the finals which take place at the Christian Life Assembly Church.

The winner receives $2,500 in cash as well as performance-related prizes such as eight hours with Blue Frog recording studio and a 30-minute studio and video package from Shaw TV.

Crime

Inquest to shine light on strange death After two years, the cause of Frank Frechette’s death will finally be the subject of the coroner’s hearing.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The mystery of the last day of Frank Frechette’s life may finally be resolved this week.

A B.C. Coroner’s Service inquest starts today (Tuesday) in Burnaby, to answer

questions about what happened to the Langley City man on Sept. 30, 2008.

Frechette died after apparently robbing a bank in Brookswood, then fleeing to his home just a few miles away.

He was tailed by a citizen who had witnessed the robbery. When police arrived at the home, Frechette plunged nude and bleeding through a second-storey window of his home.

Because the robber had been armed, Langley RCMP didn’t want to allow Frechette to go back inside. Apparently disoriented, he wandered around on his front

yard, not following police commands. A dog failed to bring him down, and police tasered him when he turned toward his door.

Frechette died shortly afterward. Because he died in police custody, an inquest was ordered. It can’t lay charges, but can make recommendations for future incidents.

It’s unclear what killed Frechette, and the cause of death has not yet been publicly released pending the start of the inquest.

Frechette’s wife Trina Toffan was charged with armed robbery after the incident, but the charges were dropped before the case went to trial.

Math success is a phone call away.

Crash

Car hits hydrant, causes watery mess A crash caused a bit of chaos, though no one was badly hurt.

Chilean

Green Grapes $ 49

A careening car smashed a fire hydrant and flooded a condo parking garage in Langley City on Saturday morning.

A car headed north on 200th Street apparently attempted a lane change, went out of control, and jumped the curb at about 9:15 a.m.

The car smashed a hydrant and garbage can in the 5600 block of the major street.

The two occupants of the car were checked out by paramedics, and didn’t have to go to the hospital, said Const. Amir Frcic.

Langley RCMP and City firefighters closed off a stretch of 200th just north of 56th Avenue for a few hours while the mess was cleared.

A resident of the building said the water was almost a foot deep before the hydrant was shut off.

A sandbar made of gravel and dirt swept into the garage lay across the entrance an hour after the crash.

A Langley man hit by a Surrey RCMP police cruiser while crossing the street early Friday morning suffered only minor injuries.

He was crossing 154th Street from 104th Avenue at 12:10 a.m. on Feb. 25, in a marked crosswalk, according to Surrey RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Drew Grainger.

The cruiser was turning left on a green light, to head southbound on 154th, when it hit the pedestrian.

Grainger said the car was driving at “normal patrol speeds.”

The 21-year-old pedestrian was taken to hospital, treated for his injuries, and released.

Anyone who may have witnessed the collision and who has not yet spoken to police is asked to call the Surrey RCMP Traffic Section at 604-599-0502.

place, the next major step will involve putting on the deck. That may mean several smaller-scale lane closures during daylight hours over the next few months.

Those closures are expected to involve a lane or two, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., to avoid inconveniencing drivers during the morning and evening rush hours.

Teen concerned for family

A teen visiting Langley from New Zealand has been glued to the news since the quake.

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The earthquake that rattled New Zealand last Tuesday also shook up a young woman currently staying in Langley.

Courtney Dibley, 17, has been living with relatives and working in Langley for the past several months. A native of Christchurch, she has been glued to the Internet for a week since the 6.3 magnitude quake struck her hometown.

“I heard about it after work, when my family picked me up,” Dibley said.

They had already called and found out that her mother, sister, and extended family were all safe and accounted for, Dibley said.

That was a relief.

“I was worried about my friends,” she said. Fortunately, she knew right away that most of them were safe. They were attending school at the time with her younger sister, and the building was not

damaged. She has managed to find out that everyone she knows is okay.

The death toll from the quake is expected to rise to more than 200, with about 50 people still not accounted for.

Since last week, Dibley has been in touch with her friends and family back home, and she has learned that a lot of them have damaged houses. Her family lives just 10 to 15 minutes from the heavily damaged centre of Christchurch.

The quake has damaged a number of key buildings, including a TV building and school for foreign students, and Christchurch’s landmark cathedral.

For now, Dibley will be staying in Canada.

“I wanted to go home, but I knew there was nothing I could do to help,” she said.

She’s keeping up with events by reading the TVNZ website, which has regular updates of the search for survivors and the damage.

She’s heard that her friends are to move to a different school, once schooling actually resumes. Schools have been closed for now in the area, Dibley said.

This is not the first quake to strike the area. Dibley was still living at home several months ago, when a smaller quake rattled the city.

Homelessness

Shelter opened for foul weather "#"!!!

The Gateway of Hope shelter in Langley City opened its doors for emergency housing during the cold snap that hit at the end of last week, and took in an average of seven extra people every night.

That’s in addition to the 22 men and

eight women who are regulars at the more restrictive ongoing shelter program in the same building, said Major James Hagglund. The emergency program provides shelter on very cold or wet nights during the winter.

There’s something about a campfire. Just ask the more than 230 people who attended Fort to Fort: Stories by the Campfire Feb. 19.

Around a fire at Derby Reach Regional Regional Park, storytellers in period costumes told of the history of the area and gave people a More taste of pioneer Photos life.

Online The fire kept away the chill caused by the wind, but also allowed people to cook bannock over open flame as they learned about a bygone era.

“This site is significant not only for its gorgeous views of the Fraser River, but marks the location of the original Fort Langley built in 1827,” explained Lori Bartley, with Metro Vancouver Parks.

Fort to Fort: Stories by the Campfire proved a popular outing for families on Feb. 19.

This was the second year of the fireside storytelling and history afternoon in Langley, and Metro Vancouver plans to make this an annual event

The first year brought out about 150 people while numbers this year topped 235, despite the unseasonable cold.

Make us believe No one expected the provincial budget to be inspired. The “make-believe” budget, as some pundits dubbed it, had much to do with legal requirements and little to do with where B.C. is headed in the future.

It leaves B.C.’s new premier, Christy Clark, with some hard catch-up work to do.

What wasn’t in the budget was as notable as anything actually in it. There were no spending increases for many public services – something that meshes well with Clark’s past record as a former cabinet minister.

The budget also leaves more than half of the ministries in line for cuts.

Another item not in the budget: any hints of what could happen if the hated HST is turned down, whether in a provincial referendum or through a vote in the Legislature (both were variously promised by Clark).

Financial desperation is what prompted the provincial money grab in the first place.

That situation hasn’t changed – except much of the federal “transition” money has already been spent, and there’s little Clark will be able to do about that.

Any HST payback remains the elephant in the room. And could anyone take a budget seriously that didn’t delve into potential HST outcomes?

That’s another factor Clark will have to address, and better sooner than later.

What is in the budget includes a high level of debt, much of it associated with capital projects brought on in the name of economic stimulation.

Most notable, however, is about $2.5 billion in “wiggle room” or “flexible funding” for the new Liberal leader to allocate over the next three years. That amounts to a significant slush fund for Clark.

Of course that “holding” budget may yet turn out to share features of past February budgets which later proved light on fiscal reality, and were revised into wholly new “updates” only six months later.

The budget’s realism is now Clark’s concern. Along with our congratulations, we wish her well with the immense task that she has accepted.

Leadership remains in question Meanwhile, after a failed attempt at winning the leadership of the BC Conservative party, Wacky took out a membership in the Social Credit League.

Here it gets interesting.

Bob Groeneveld The preferential ballot backfired in 1952, editor@langleyadvance.com when many voters on the right, unhappy with the Liberals and Conservatives, opted to seek salvation with the Socreds.

Health care

Pseudoscience dangerous

a poison by such a degree that there are no molecules of the poison left, somehow this will cure ailments.

Of course, this violates the laws of thermodynamics, as well as the principle of Avogadro’s limit in chemistry.

When you buy homeopathic “remedies,” you are buying water and/or sugar. Nothing more. And yet, pharmacies sell those sugar pills alongside real remedies. Shame on them! If someone forgoes real medical treatment in favour of this superstition, they may well die.

I took a full bottle of homeopathic sleeping pills and muscle relaxants. I didn’t die.

All human progress is due to sound reasoning, honest debate, and scientific inquiry – not fuzzy notions and superstitious assertion. The sooner we get rid of this fake treatment, the better off we will all be.

Langley City

Overpass built to Surrey’s benefit Dear Editor, Why is Langley City spending $8.5 million on an 196th Street overpass that we don’t need?

The City has worked behind closed doors for four to five years to develop

the project with Surrey, the Township, TransLink, the province. Why weren’t residents told about it earlier, so that we could provide input into such a big expenditure?

It’s good that the City

B.C. politics

Ballot elected right leader

Dear Editor, My congratulations go to BC Liberals and Christie Clark for a successful election of their leader.

The BC Liberals have adopted a policy of fairness to elect a leader. The preferential ballot used ensured that the winner needed more than 50 per cent support to win, instead of only 38 per cent support that would have otherwise been required. Since fairness is a matter of policy for the party, perhaps the rest of us may expect that this same fairness will soon be applied in the election of MLAs. I am very much encouraged, since Christie Clark is a supporter of electoral reform and preferential balloting.

Babies better than animals

Dear Editor, When I heard about the 100 dogs shot to death in Whistler, I felt sad. But people should realize that humans are worth more than animals. If only we had that same outrage over the thousands and thousands of babies that die in the womb, through abortion, every day.

Dean Clark, Langley

involved residents with its open house to finally explain the proposal in more depth. The previous open house in December was dominated by Surrey and TransLink employees trying to convince Langley residents to go for the idea.

Langley City has about 1/20th the population of Surrey, and we are paying proportionately a great deal more – they are only paying $13.6 million.

To top it off, Surrey has been able to develop a plan that avoids all its residential areas, making their residents very happy. It’s a good deal for Surrey.

Is this where you want your tax dollars to go?

Technically, it’s not “tax dollars” but “casino revenue,” but its still the City’s money. Think of what could be done with $8.5 million.

In the City’s 2011 budget, there is money going to the Timms Centre for improved recreational facilities, which is great. But there are other needs in the City that this money could be well spent on for services that would directly benefit residents.

Langley School District

School budget reporting clarified Dear Editor, A lead-in to your article [Budget targets shortfall, Feb. 25, Langley Advance] states, “Langley school’s budget includes nearly $4 million in cuts toward paying off a $13.5 million shortfall.”

The document that was approved at the Feb. 22 meeting of the Board of Education was the amended 2010-2011 operating budget, which had to be finalized by the end of February. The $4 million surplus that is being considered to make room for the board’s obligations under a deficit elimination plan negotiated with the Ministry of Education is part of the 2011-2012 budget process, which is being developed for approval in April.

The article also states that school districts

=#'*:2! %$:&"!444 ?9 B)3

will “tweak final figures in April.” In fact, school districts will submit their preliminary 2011-2012 operating budgets to the ministry in April, and Langley School District is currently in the early stages of its budget development process for next year.

School districts are required to submit their preliminary budgets to the ministry by the end of June, but many – including Langley – complete the preliminary budget development process by the end of April so they can meet collective agreement provisions with regard to staffing.

Dear Editor, One particularly troubling trend in the modern world is the advancement of faith in the supernatural, superstition, and pseudoscience.

This trend is also puzzling, as we live in an age where real information is so readily available. Unfortunately, so is bad information and propaganda.

On Feb. 5, hundreds of people in 23 countries around the world overdosed on homeopathic so-called “remedies” to demonstrate that there’s nothing in it.

Homeopathy was simply stated by a German physician named Samuel Hahnemann, who had no evidence and was just making assertions based on primitive and unscientific beliefs about “vibrations” and other nonsense. He asserted that water has “memory,” that poisons can cure the symptoms they cause, and that if you dilute

The goal is to raise awareness of a problem that is not limited to impoverished nations.

“Modern day slavery is, in a nutshell, forced captivity and exploitation of another person. Most victims are children and young women who are forced into the sex trade by criminal organizations,” Teng said. “In Canada, thousands of these people are being victimized in this way every single day.”

Miss Canada Tara Teng has been using her pageant exposure to rail against human trafficking, and the message seems to be resonating.

Teng spoke at Walnut Grove Secondary on Feb. 21 and 22, at the invitation of student Anna Demian, and is organizing a public march and rally for March 12.

“It does not sit well with me knowing that there are 27 million people worldwide who are trapped in modern day slavery,” Demian told the Langley Advance.

Her interest was sparked through her family.

“Last year my older sister was in Cambodia, working at a rehabilitation home for young girls who have been rescued from forced prostitution,” Demian explained.

She heard troubling stories about girls being sold into the sex trade.

“I cried when I heard about the three-year-old girl who was sold into the sex trade,” she said. “This should not happen.”

So she invited Miss Canada 2011, a Langley resident, to help educate students at the school and it had an impact on them.

Demian said some came to her in tears after hearing what goes on around the world.

Demian said people can take action to help stop this, whether it’s buying fair trade products or taking part in an upcoming public march.

She is working on having a busload of students head to a march being organized by Teng and others for March 12.

Teng has teamed up with Todd Hauptman and other modern-day abolitionists to organize Freedom Week, March 6-13. In the middle of Freedom Week is the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day, March 8.

“While this is a global injustice, we must respond locally and that’s where Freedom Week comes in to pro-

Four Langley students will square off in debate with the best from around B.C.

For Lee, the competition is friendly. She’s come to know a lot of her fellow debaters for other schools, so debates mean competing with and meeting with a group of friends.

For the championship, the team has been working to research the topic of restorative justice. Should it play a major role in the criminal justice system?

Because debaters must take both sides of every issue, it shapes their views of issues.

“It helps me not be biased,” Lee said. She can go into research mode thinking one way, and find herself at least seeing the other side’s point of view by the end.

Organizers are still looking for more volunteer judges. Prospective volunteers can visit www.bcdebate. org to find the events listing and a volunteer sign-up link.

Baird said the City’s plans would prove too great a burden on taxpayers, and that property owners should be polled. He also suggested cost-sharing between Langley City and Township.

• A highways department clearing crew discovered a woman’s body in the brush alongside the freeway. The body had been there for about three months, and police suspected foul play.

Thirty Years Ago

MARCH 4, 1981

• Workman retreated before the wrath of an irate property owner on McKinnon Road. Council ordered the work to proceed – but not before workmen returned to replace a fence.

Chiefs in playoff dogfight with Alberni Valley

Strong goaltending from Wyatt Galley keyed the Chiefs’ victory Saturday, as they took a 2-0 series lead on the Bulldogs.

by Troy Landreville sports@langleyadvance.com

Yes, the Langley Chiefs are in the driver’s seat in their bestof-seven series with the Alberni Bulldogs, but there’s a long and potentially bumpy road ahead.

A pair of weekend wins at the Langley Events Centre (LEC) gave the Chiefs a 2-0 lead in games in the British Columbia Hockey League opening round match-up.

If the Chiefs won last night (Monday) at Weyerhaeuser Arena in Port Alberni, their series lead will officially graduate into a series stranglehold.

The Bulldogs, who finished 15 points back of the Chiefs in the

Decisions, decisions

BCHL Coastal Conference standings, put up quite a fight over the weekend.

This comes as no surprise to Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl, who predicted it would be a grind before the playoffs began.

“The games we’ve won, we’ve had to work extremely hard and be a little lucky to get those victories,” Smyl said. “The guys are respectfully confident. We believe the other team is capable of doing extremely well and we need to be at our best to somehow get the win.”

A huge test came Monday in Port Alberni, where the Bulldogs were 18-10-2 on home ice during the regular season.

Smyl told the Advance Monday morning, “One thing’s for sure: We have to be a hell of a lot better going into their building.

Their win/loss record [on home ice] is incredibly good.”

Chiefs 3, Bulldogs 1 In game two of the series Saturday at the LEC, the Chiefs received solid goaltending from

Walnut Grove Gators forward Larry Blyth weighed his options while being guarded by a Fraser Heights defender during a Fraser Valley Triple A boys elimination round game Friday at Walnut Grove Secondary. The Gators downed the Surrey squad 84-55.

Over at Tamanawis Secondary in Surrey Friday, the Brookswood Bobcats edged Sullivan Heights 60-58. Leading the Bobcats’ offence was Michael Blaauw with 17 points and Vasilli Asimakis with 15 points. “Isaac White was a great contributor on the defensive end and at both ends rebounding wise, he was by far our best player,” Bobcats head coach Jyoti Pawar said. On Monday night, the Bobcats faced the host Tamanawis Wildcats, while Walnut Grove hosted Clayton Heights. Results were not available at press time Monday afternoon.

Wyatt Galley, and goals from defenceman Tim Daly and forwards Josh Myers and Darnell Dyck to edge the Bulldogs.

Langley led 2-0 after the first period on goals from Daly and Myers.

The Bulldogs made it a onegoal game after Brandon Adams found the net 1:52 into the second period.

A little more than five minutes later, Dyck restored Langley’s two-goal lead.

Galley and the Chiefs held the Bulldogs scoreless the rest of the way.

The netminder was particularly sharp during the scoreless third frame, when the Bulldogs outshot the Chiefs 15-7.

“Wyatt’s been very steady,” Smyl said. “He’s been making them [the Bulldogs] earn the goals that they get.”

Chiefs 5, Bulldogs 4 (OT) Ahead 4-2 in the third period of Friday’s series opener at the LEC, the Chiefs’ penalty killing bit them in the collective butt.

Two penalties translated into a pair of powerplay goals by the Bulldogs, who tied the game 4-4 to send it into overtime.

Then, with Alberni Valley’s Frank Riddle off for tripping, late in the first overtime period, Chiefs’ captain Trevor Gerling scored his second of the night at the 16:42 mark, giving the Chiefs a momentum-building victory.

After a scoreless opening frame, the Chiefs moved ahead 3-1 after 40 minutes of play on goals from Gerling, Kevin Tuohy and Kody Dhaliwal.

The Bulldogs’ Dylan Nowakowski narrowed his team’s deficit to 3-2 at the 5:27 mark of

Forty-one seconds later, Chiefs’ rookie Josh Hansen made it 4-2 for the home team.

The tide turned after Langley’s Austin Plevy was sent off for an accidental high stick. It took all of 37 seconds for the Bulldogs to capitalize on the powerplay.

Less than two minutes after that goal, Chiefs defenceman Tyler Miller was called for tripping in front of the Langley net.

Again, the Bulldogs’ powerplay struck quickly, finding the net 24 seconds after Miller entered the sin bin.

Smyl said the Chiefs’ penalty killing, which ranked 11th in the 16-team BCHL during the regular season, is “something we’ve battled all year. Our discipline and our PK has to be a lot better than it has been.”

••• Results from Monday’s game were not known at press time.

Game four goes today at Weyerhaeuser Arena.

If the Bulldogs win either of their two home games, the teams will meet again in game five Thursday at the LEC, with a 7 p.m. faceoff.

Chiefs centre Josh Myers was in alone on Bulldogs goaltender Frank Slubowski Saturday at the LEC. Langley edged Alberni Valley 3-1 to take a 2-0 series lead heading into last night’s (Monday’s) game at Weyerhaueser Arena in Port Alberni.

| Tue s d a y, M a r c h 1 , 2 0 1 1 |

Hillary Metcalfe led a team of Langley Olympians at the Western Canadian Championships in Kamloops.

Clubs from across western Canada sent 540 swimmers to this meet and the competition was really strong, according to the Langley Olympians Swim Club (LOSC).

The girls events were split into 15 years & under and 16 & over, and the boys events were for swimmers 16 & under and

17 & over.

This makes a change from the regular age group categories, thus providing the younger swimmers with a tough challenge.

The 12-year-old Metcalfe won a bronze medal in the 15 & under 50-metre breaststroke event, with a time of 33.96 seconds.

Metcalfe’s time also secured a new LOSC club record.

She went on to finish fifth overall in the 100m breaststroke and in doing so, set another new club record with a time of 1:14.09 in that event.

Also in Kamloops were Martha Metcalfe, 14, Michael Macdonald, 15, and William Vosper, 19.

Vosper finished seventh in the consolation final of

the 200m fly.

Martha Metcalfe and Macdonald both achieved new best times in a number of events: Metcalfe in the 400m IM and 200m fly and Macdonald in the 100m backstroke and 800m, 100m, and 400m freestyle swims, as well as in the 100m fly.

Olympians head coach Brian Metcalfe called the meet “an incredible learning experience for our young swimmers.”

“They were competing in tougher age categories to what they are used to.

All of them managed to maintain focus and produce some great racing,” he added. “It was great to see Hillary place third as a 12year-old in the 15 & under category.”

U12s medal at B.C. championships

A 12 squad was the only Langley Thunder entry to take home a medal – in their case, one of the bronze variety – from the Tier 1 provincial field lacrosse championships at the University of Victoria.

Feb. 20, with all championship games being played at UVic. Langley Thunder Field Lacrosse was one of only four minor organizations in the province to be represented in all age groups at the Tier 1 level, ranging in age from 11 to 18.

After five games in three days, several minor injuries and one major one, the U12 Thunder brought home Langley’s only medal through what one of their coaches Brock Rose described as “hard work and perseverance.”

“Whether it was tea bags at the Empress Hotel or running around the B.C. Legislature as a pre-game warm up, the Thunder made their presence

known at the provincials in the capital city,” Thunder coach Brock Rose said.

The Thunder won bronze after defeating Delta 18-8, and Langley’s Nathaniel Kozevnikov was named the U12 tournament MVP. ••• The Thunder are Matthew Brunsch, Max Joseph, Nathaniel Kozevnikov, Nathan McAvoy, Liam Moore, Caleb Pearson, Riley Richardson, Kyle Robertson, Roman Rose, Tyler Simonsen, Joey Spady, Connor Watson, Jesse Wellenbrink, and Craig Whitton.

Coaches are Brock Rose, Paul Kozevnikov, Scott Wellenbrink, and Stu Watson.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
