Langley has played host to the last BC Senior Games ever. “We are the final BC Seniors Games,” said Langley Games president Milt Kruger. Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman used the Langley Games closing ceremony Saturday as a chance to unveil a big change. They’ve been rebranded as the 55-plus BC Games to better reflect the changing society that sees people living longer and healthier, and more active, lives.

Emergency response
Langley firefighters tackle brush blazes The Township burning ban stays in place until the weather gets wetter. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
Blame the weather for the burning and for not burning. Local fire departments have seen plenty of brush fire and burning complaints in recent weeks due to the lack of rain. “There’s been quite a few brush fires because it’s been so dry,” said Russ Jenkins, Township district fire chief. Often people will discard cigarette butts or improperly handle a campfire, leading to fires because of the dryness and fire calls. Langley Township has decided to wait to issue burning permits. Normally permits are issued Sept. 15 to Oct. 30.
Langley City and Township crews were called out to a brush fire near the power lines at 206th Street and 43rd Avenue, one of several brush fire complaints in recent weeks.
Heather Colpitts Langley Advance
Not this year. “Burning permit season has been postponed,” Jenkins said.
No burning permits will be issued until the weather changes.
“It’s been a dry year and a dry summer,” he said. “We still have a burning ban.”

Neighbours of former ecstasy lab call for action The owners of a former drug operation missed their deadline to test and report on contaminated soil. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
The owners of a Langley property contaminated by an illegal drug lab missed their deadline to file a report with the provincial Environment Ministry. The property in the 20600 block of 72nd Avenue was raided by the RCMP in April. The police found a sizeable and sophisticated ecstasy lab, and carted away barrel after barrel of chemicals. The drug makers had simply been flushing the waste from their work straight out the back of a shed on the property. From there, it had worked its way down the slope, killing off black-

He also raised concerns that test results could be different in the near future. If the fall rains begin in earnest, it could wash some of the contaminants downhill. “The ministry expects to receive the Site Risk Classification Report along with a proposed schedule to complete work in the next few weeks,” said the ministry statement. “If the responsible party does not respond voluntarily the Ministry of Environment could order the owner to complete the necessary investigation, remediation and report to the ministry.” Failing to comply could result in charges under the Environmental Management Act. The maximum penalty would be six months in jail and a $200,000 fine.

Langley RCMP are wrapping up a lengthy stolen property investigation by trying to find the owners of thousands of dollars worth of items, said Cpl. Holly Marks, with the local detachment. On Sept. 29, 2013, investigators armed with a warrant arrived at a storage locker. While officers were going through the locker, a small blue sedan pulled into the lot, paused, and then sped off backwards. Marks said one of the officers jumped into a car and followed, stopping the blue sedan just outside the storage compound.
The driver was arrested. Trevor Elias, 35, was found guilty on two counts of possession of stolen property and on Jan. 16 this year, he was given a 32.5 month jail sentence, along with a lifetime ban on owning firearms, said Marks. The items found included 11 replica firearms, decorative swords, knives ammo, bear spray, an ASP baton, cameras, radios, jewelry, a chainsaw, concrete saw, and compressors, sunglasses, external hard drives, and board games. People who lost items to theft before Sept. 29 last year are being invited to check out photos of the property on the Langley RCMP website. Anyone who sees an item that belongs to them should call the RCMP Stolen Property Recovery line at 604-532-3398.

Exclusive pipeline townhall by phone
The president of Kinder Morgan Canada will be answering questions from some residents of the Langley, Surrey, and the Tri-Cities about the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline on Tuesday evening (tonight). Part of Langley is included in the Sept. 16 event, and most is part of the Sept. 18 phone townhall that includes communities to the east. The townhalls provide an opportunity for the
public to have one-on-one conversations with Ian Anderson. Only people who have been called and agree to take part in the phone townhalls will be part of the events. There is no way for other members of the public to call in and be part of the process. Those unable to join the call can follow on @ TransMtn for live updates. The full audio files will be available by the afternoon following each townhall.
In 2012, Kinder Morgan Canada announced it will move forward with its proposed plans to expand the existing Trans Mountain Pipeline system – between Edmonton and Burnaby. To date, it has held 88 open houses or workshops and more than 956 meetings between project team members and stakeholder groups. According to a Kinder Morgan spokesperson, the phone townhalls are one more method to obtain input from the public.
Back to school with an extra $1000 thanks to Willowbrook Chrysler Service manager Curtis Thomson had the pleasure of presenting Rachel Hope of Fort Langley with a scholarship cheque for $1000 at the Chrysler dealer’s Langley Bypass showrooms. Unfortunately for Rachel she was accepting the award on behalf of her brother Sean who has recently started agricultural college in Alberta and couldn’t collect the cheque personally! The award was one of a hundred made across Canada by the Chrysler Foundation to 4-H club members so they can pursue their post-secondary educations. 4-H is one of Canada’s longest running youth organisations and provides “hands on learning” opportunities within agricultural communities. It has recently celebrated its 100th anniversary.

Two thirty-somethings from Langley have been arrested and a massive fraud operation dismantled. The charges will even include a data breach of PharmaNet. On July 17, the RCMP “E” Division Federal Serious and Organized Crime Section (FSOC), with the assistance of Langley RCMP, the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team and the Integrated Forensic Identification Section, executed a warrant at a North Langley residence during an investigation of several fraudulent transactions. The FSOC investigation was initiated in June 2014 after a common suspect was identified through Abbotsford Police, Victoria Police and Burnaby RCMP investigations. Police seized: • in excess of $100,000 worth of construction, excavation and lawn equipment, • more than 13,000 credit card numbers, • identity information for many individuals who had no association to the residence, • counterfeit government identity documents in various stages of manufacture, • equipment required to manufacture counterfeit documents and • a Canada Post uniform. “These items are believed to have been acquired through fraud and many of the individuals identified and contacted during this investigation process were previously unaware that they had been victimized,” said S/Sgt. John Taylor of FSOC. One man was arrested

on outstanding fraud charges and will stay in custody. Giovanni Michael Aiello, 32, and Nichole Maria McGregor, 36, both of Langley, face several charges including fraud, identity theft, possession of property obtained by crime and possession of instruments for forging credit cards. “Economic integrity is an RCMP priority and as a result the RCMP investigates and disrupts a variety of offences associated to financial crime,” said Taylor. “Individuals involved in criminal behaviour are often active in many areas of illegal activity.” The RCMP offers tips to help prevent fraud: • Identity theft can occur over the Internet or telephone, or via fax or regular mail. Be wary of unsolicited e-mails, telephone calls or mail attempting to extract personal or financial information from you. • Periodically check credit reports, bank and credit card statements. Report irregularities to your financial institution or one of the credit reporting agencies: Equifax Canada, 1-800-465-7166 or Transunion, 1-877-5253823. • Shield your personal identification number when using an ATM or PIN pad. • Shred personal and financial documents prior to disposing of them. If you feel you may be a victim of fraud: • Contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately. They may block the card to prevent losses, ask you to change a PIN or issue a new card. The bank may ask you to sign an affidavit if there are fraudulent transactions in your account. If there is money missing, they will work to get it back as quickly as possible. • Contact the credit bureau and have fraud alerts put on your credit reports. • Contact local police.

Fake American $100 bills are being passed to local store clerks, the Langley RCMP warned Friday. The bills have been turning over the last month, said Cpl. Holly Marks, with the Langley RCMP. An unknown woman paid for goods on Aug. 6 and four young people did the same on Aug. 7 and 9, using the fakes. Police have seized the notes and identified the young people. Their
parents have been informed of their actions, said Marks. Police are asking merchants and store clerks to learn about the security features of U.S. and Canadian currency. If you suspect you have been offered a counterfeit note, the police say you should politely refuse, saying you suspect it is fake, and ask for another bill, which should also be checked. Tell the person to check the note with the local police, and call the police to tell them of a possible attempt to pass counterfeit currency. “Be courteous,” said Marks. “Remember that the person in possession of the bill could be an innocent victim who does not realize
that the note is suspicious.” Information on the security features of U.S. money can be found at moneyfactory.com/anticounterfeiting/securityfeatures.html. Information on Canadian money can be found at bankofcanada.ca/ banknotes/counterfeit-prevention. Store owners who want to get more information, or who would like a safety presentation to their staff, can call the Langley RCMP Business Link coordinator at 604532-3210. This is the second warning about counterfeit bills since August, when the RCMP warned that the Lower Mainland and Okanagan were seeing an increase in counterfeits. The bills were mostly $20 and $50 bills from the 2004 series.

Big decisions on civic leaders
We’re all a little distracted by the ongoing labour fight between the province and teachers, so people may not have noticed that election season is about to start again. This Nov. 15, we’ll be going to the polls to select our mayors and councillors, not just here in the Langleys, but across the province. This will also be the first time that local politicians will be serving four-year terms instead of the three-year terms that have been the norm for the past few decades. Four years is a long time. Whoever is chosen this November will have power to help define many things about our communities. They will have say over property tax rates, over which new neighbourhoods develop and how quickly they grow, over how often the grass is mowed on playing fields and on how many hanging baskets there are on municipal streets. They can determine the location of new stop lights, roundabouts, and bike lanes. They are the people we call about potholes and snowcovered streets. In addition, we’ll be electing school trustees, who have power over whether smaller schools close or stay open, and over the many special programs offered across the district. Considering they’re this important, it’s a shame that so few people will vote this November. If the turnout is more than 25 per cent, that would represent a pretty good year, historically speaking. In the next few months, we’ll be revving up our coverage of municipal election issues, talking to candidates, and covering the debates that will be sponsored by several local organizations. The Langley Advance will do its best to cover the major issues and hit the high points. But between the City, Township, and board of education, voters will also have some responsibility to look into things for themselves. Check out candidate websites, write letters to the editor about issues of concern, attend the debates. The next four years are up for grabs. Don’t sit on the sidelines. – M.C.

Education labour dispute
Negotiators act like children
Dear Editor, Following is an open letter in regards to the education labour dispute: Dear Mr. Jim Iker, Mr. Peter Cameron, and Hon. Peter Fassbender, My name is Spring Kristensen. I’m 13 and I am going into Grade 8 at D.W. Poppy Secondary for my first year of high school. I am emailing you today because I have some concerns about the teacher strike that is going on. See, here’s the thing: I know you’re trying to negotiate with each other and all, about the raise in teachers’ pay and smaller class sizes. Last year in my class at North Otter Elementary I had 29 classmates and nine of them needed extra help, so it slowed the rest of us down, and it was just so difficult for everyone, especially our teacher, Mrs. S. Spence. I think you should be asking the students what they think, not just teachers and the government. People like my friends and I care what happens to the teachers, to the government, and to the other students. I’m very sorry to say it, but to me, it seems like you guys are only thinking about yourselves, not the students. Some of the students are happy to get more of a summer, but for students like me, we kind of miss school. I like learning and being a part of the school, like helping out, joining clubs, and just being helpful. Sadly, sometimes I wonder if we are ever going to go back to school. So throughout my email, what I’m trying to say is, we need to go back to school! Please, you all need to lower class sizes,
because it’s just too difficult for the teacher to try and help everyone when there are so many of us. The pay, to be honest, I really don’t know. My mom’s pay is considered a low income pay, and she works about 35 hours a week (with only three weeks unpaid vacation a year). Somehow, thanks Letters to God, we manage to pay all the bills, but we don’t have any left to the over after that is done (to let you know: she is a university graduate with a degree and is in manbut it is still tough). Editor agement, I’m starting to think that the teachers don’t need a pay raise. They make three times what my mom does, and also three times the vacation! Seems to me, that’s just unfair. People like my mom, single parents with children, do deserve the raise, not the teacher. My mom is strong, she works hard, and I try to be like her every day. Both sides say, “It’s all about the students.” Well, if it is all about the students, then stop acting like children and work it out! You guys are making this more difficult than it needs to be. Seriously, I think you should just take the teachers’ pay raise and put it towards the schools, instead. The teachers are wanting more help for the students who need it, so give the teachers a small raise and put the rest towards students who need help with learning. Please think about what I have said, and the next time you to have a meeting, sincerely try and figure out a way to compromise, so that we can go back to school. Spring Kristensen, Langley
Education labour dispute
Poll question insults all teachers
Dear Editor, I went to read a letter to the editor and was appalled at your poll about who should be fired [Who should be fired over the B.C. teachers strike? Sept. 9-11 Advance Poll, Langley Advance]. That poll is an absolute insult to the 37,000-plus
teachers who are on strike for public education, and to the CUPE staff who are supporting us. This government’s agenda is to privatize education (see New Zealand, U.S., and England, for example). They have never had any intention of settling this dispute through negotiation.
Education labour dispute
Government leaving kids out
Dear Editor, Have you noticed the government’s reasons for not settling have nothing to do with kids? They argue that they don’t want to raise taxes or share the surplus with the teachers, that they want to avoid further court actions, and that they want to get rid of past court rulings, they don’t want to set precedents that may affect other union bargaining. As well, they can’t give the teachers “double” what others got (a myth). And of course, they have to put the “greedy teachers” (another big myth) in their place. And as for the facts that the government is putting forward, they are at best suspect. But one fact is clear to me: they – Christy Clark, Peter Fassbender, Mike DeJong, et al – just don’t seem to care about the kids. So much for “families first!” The kids should definitely be in school now, and their parents are right in being concerned about their children’s education. But if we are worried about our children’s education and future, then we should also have additional concerns about the society in which they will live. Will they live in a healthy and true democracy and a free and just society that is respectful of the law, all of its people? Will they live in a society that really does care about its children? Just what is this government’s real agenda? It’s not kids, that’s for sure. Jack Williamson, Fort Langley
If so, this would have been resolved a long time ago, before Phase 1, Phase 2, or even Phase 3. Teachers are taking a stand because we can no longer support a system that is underfunded by a government that is willing to support its corporate supporters. Students of all abilities are unable to get the support they need. This includes special needs, LST, ELL, gifted students, and the average student. Students wait years for psycho-educational testing. Some may never get the required assessment, due to the caseload. Students in need of counsellors need to take a number and hope the counsellor has time in the given year to meet with them. It’s time the media open their eyes to see the true agenda of this government and report the facts and leave the polling to professionals who first understand the importance of framing a question and second list the choices in alphabetical order. I hope you apologize to your readers. Many of them live in your community and are suffering severe financial hardship. Glenys McFarlane, Surrey

Cruise-In president Eric Taylor (far right) and vice-president Marty Brown (second from the left) were also on hand to congratulate the Maple Ridge car owner at the end of the show. “It just had some nice lines and styles to it,” Schaffer said of the winning car. “It just really caught your eye.”

Annual fundraiser
Spirits high, despite lower numbers at Fox Run Everything went as planned for the Langley City Terry Fox Run, except for the turnout of participants.
Glorious Sunday morning weather, a small army of volunteers, sponsors, and new route signage gave the Langley City Terry Fox Run the potential to be the most successful yet. But, befuddling the event’s two co-chairs, the Sept. 14 fundraiser for cancer research saw the number of participants down by half from last year. Organizers are thanking volunteers and calling the run a success, despite numbers being down by almost 50 per cent, with 152 people turning up at Douglas Park for an event that got underway at 10 a.m. Co-chairs Rick Barnett and Lilianne Fuller are puzzled as to why. “Publicity wise and the method we used for getting the word out was handled the same as every other year. We utilized social media and the weather certainly co-operated. So we’re at a loss to explain the lower turnout,” said Barnett, the incoming 2015 chair. However, there were plenty of positives to take from this year’s run. Barnett said a common complaint last year was the marking of the route or (lack thereof). With a $500 grant from the City, discounted printing costs from Signboom printers, and a $250 cash donation from Valley First Aid, organizers purchased 70 route signs that Barnett said would prove valuable to the runners and walkers. When all was said and done, $6,000 was raised from the Langley City event, and that

Before setting out on the Terry Fox Run on Sunday morning, participants including Doug Strongitharm (foreground, wearing a hat and sunglasses) took part in a warmup in front of the Walnut Grove Community Centre. included proceeds from a silent auction, a new addition this year. The silent auction included multiple donations from various Langley businesses. “The generosity of Langley’s merchants is unbelievable and they made our first auction a successful one. We raised almost $800 from that alone,” Barnett said. Added Fuller, “We wanted to
raise money, and we wanted to salute Terry’s epic Marathon of Hope. We wanted to celebrate a true Canadian hero, and we did. I’m a little disappointed [at the turnout of participants] but I don’t think Terry would be. We did our best and that’s all he asked of all Canadians.” This year’s Terry Fox Run was held the day after the BC Seniors Games ended and despite fears of volunteer fatigue, helpers
were in abundance. “A total of 50 volunteers came together to make the event a great success,” Barnett said. “Langley truly is a volunteer hub.” Plans are already underway for next year’s run.
Grove raises $5,000
In Walnut Grove, the run got underway around 9:15 a.m. Sunday, and thanks in part to the late summer sunshine, was a success. The Walnut Grove Terry Fox Run raised more than $5,000 for the cause, and included 140 participants.
Fifteen volunteers, mostly from the Rotary Club of Langley Sunrise, organized the event, along with help from Township of Langley staff. “We had exceptional weather, the turnout was great, and we raised money for a good cause,” organizer Midori Turner said.
Aldergrove Run
Aldergrove welcomed the fundraiser back to its community, with two different five-kilometre routes that were suitable for bikes, wheelchairs, strollers, and dogs on leashes. Fifty people participated, raising just under $1,000.

Legacy of a lone runner… Troy Landreville/Langley Advance
The registration desk for the Terry Fox Run in Walnut Grove was buzzing with activity Sunday morning. Participants set off from the Walnut Grove Community Centre at roughly 9:15 a.m. on Sept. 14.
This year marks the 34th annual Terry Fox Run and people in 112 communities in B.C. and the Yukon were running, walking, or rolling to keep alive Terry Fox’s dream of eradicating cancer. Since Fox first dipped his leg in the harbour in St. John’s,
Nfld., more than $650 million has been raised for cancer research, worldwide, in his name. According to the Terry Fox Foundation, 84 cents of every dollar donated goes to research. To date it has funded 1,152 research projects.

Spyro Spyro is a very studly, 1 year old male. He came into LAPS as a baby bottle feeder (only 6 ounces!) with his sister, Sparx. Soon after intake, Sparx Spar stopped thriving and sadly passed away. away But Spyro was not giving up that easily, He pulled through and was adopted at 9 weeks old. About a year later, he was returned from adoption because he just wasn’t fitting into their family. Spy is just about the coolest cat we have and if any of the LAPS staff had a spot available in their homes, he would be the first one they’d pick. This guy, just like a lot of male felines, has to be on urinary SO food to prevent any bladder issues from reoccurring. Spyro is great with dogs both big and small, and would get along with another active, playful cat. Spy is very adventurous and can get into some trouble if he doesn’t get enough stimulation and play time with his humans. After over 113 days in shelter, Spyro deserves his furry tail ending. If you could be his savior, please call LAPS at 604 857-5055.

This tender heart is Carrie. Early in January 2014, she was found wondering around our property and eagerly came to a staff member when they approached her. She was quite pudgy and had a broken canine tooth. Soon after intake, she had her tooth extracted and was spayed. It took her a few months, but Carrie was adopted into a sweet young family. Unfortunately Carrie did not enjoy the commotion that comes with living with kids, and would only come out at night to spend time with the cats and the adults in the home. So after about 4 months, her loving family decided it was best to return her to us so she could find a home that would better suit her needs. Carrie is now looking for a quieter home without children. Older teen age kids could be an option as long as the overall energy of the home is peaceful. Something we learned is that this girl loves other cats and could fit in easily with other kitties in the home. If you have been “Carrie’d” away by this natural beauty, please call LAPS at 604 857-5055
old cat. This beautiful girl is very social and loves making new friends. Like many cats, she thinks she rules the world and isn’t shy about telling everyone how important she is. This confident miss currently lives at Harvey’s Pet Foods and Supplies in Langley, where she is the official store greeter. Mitsy could live with an easy-going cat or a dog.

Josh is a two year old in every sense. This lovely boy is a big baby in need of lots of love along with a little guidance of course. Josh could live with the right dog. No cats for this big guy. You experienced shepherd owners will appreciate Josh’s devotion.
This is Emma. She is a 2 year old Labrador Retriever mix. She came into LAPS as a stray with her partner in crime, Bailey. She has some resource guarding so we are looking for a home without any small children. She could go to a home with a male dog but not with a female. This girl is a hoot and loves to rip around the yard with her dog friends. She is a snuggler and loves tummy rubs. If you feel like Emma could be an option for you, please call LAPS at the Patti Dale Animal Shelter and ask to speak to her trainer, Gwen. No emails please. 604-857-5055.
LAPS currently has five German Shorthaired Pointer mix puppies available for adoption. They were born on August 20 and there are two males and three females. Their mom was pregnant when she arrived at LAPS, so we’re not sure what breed the puppies’ dad is. The puppies are only available to be viewed by people who complete the following: Step 1- Successful interview with one of our trainers. Step 2 - A pre-approved LAPS adoption application. Step 3 - Receive an invitation to meet with a trainer and the puppies (this will take place when the puppies are approximately 6 weeks old).
To learn more about this dog please call LAPS at the Patti Dale Animal Shelter and ask to speak to his/her trainer. No emails please. 604-857-5055
Following this successful candidates will be matched up with puppies, successfully complete a minimum of 4 training sessions with a LAPS trainer and then be invited to adopt the puppy. The puppies will not be ready to go home until October 15.

‘Captain Kevan’ leader of ’Men
Hometown boy Kevan Kilistoff will captain the Langley Rivermen as the junior A hockey team prepares for the 2014/15 campaign. As they head into their regular season, the Langley Rivermen have named their captain. Third year forward Kevan Kilistoff will have the honour of wearing the captain’s “C” on his jersey for the 2014/2015 B.C. Hockey League campaign. Kilistoff posted 29 points in 56 games with the Rivermen last season. “It’s definitely an honour,” he said. “I’m a Langley kid, so being a captain of your hometown team is a real honour.” “It was a no-brainer for us,” Rivermen head coach and general manager Bobby Henderson said. “Kevan’s a guy that comes to work every day with a positive attitude.

Kevan Kilistoff didn’t wear the “C” on his jersey during the Langley Rivermen’s final pre-season game versus the Powell River Kings Sunday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre. However, the third-year forward will have that honour starting this Friday, when the Rivermen open their regular season against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, as part of the Bauer BCHL Showcase at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre. Didur and Darren Martin sharing netminding duties. “Both guys are very capable, hungry and driven,” said Henderson.
“We’ve got a good tandem, who have two different styles. Darren’s more of a technical goalie, aggressive, big and takes
up a lot of net. Bo’s younger, not as big physically, great athletic ability and can make the big save when needed.”

Wild afternoon at LEC as Rivermen cap pre-season with win
Langley outscored the visiting Powell River Kings 9-7 in a game filled with penalties and ejections.
The Langley Rivermen finished the pre-season undefeated, beating the Powell River Kings 9-7 at the Langley Events Centre on Sunday. Both teams showcased their offensive talents as well their physicality. The game saw countless penalties, fights and ejections. “Mentally, we have to be sharper,” Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson said. “I figured the compete level would be high. I don’t think anybody on either team wanted to get ejected. They were trying to make impressions, so I’m not really surprised by it.” “It was a little bit disappointing,” Kings head coach Kent
Lewis said. “The games to be played a certain way and our teams’ always played with some edge, but it was a little stupid today.” The Rivermen were led by forward Erik Udahl, who scored two goals. “Erik gets better every game and is someone that creates a lot of chances,” Henderson said. “[Will] Campion showed some good signs. We’ll have to make decisions that make the most sense for the team.” Henderson and the rest of the Rivermen coaching staff will finalize the roster later this week and narrow it down to the league maximum, 22 players, by Friday. After Bo Didur got the start in net against Surrey in Friday’s 31 victory. Darren Martin was between the pipes for the Rivermen Sunday afternoon, giving up seven goals on 34 shots. “Bo was really sharp on

He got rattled early and would’ve liked to have a couple goals back. He ended up bearing
down, finishing the game and got it done. There’s a lot more to his game than what he showed tonight.” Powell River was led by second year forward Jarid
Lukosevicius, who scored twice in the defeat. Lukosevicius led the Kings in scoring last season. Despite his team going 4-0 in the pre-season, Henderson is not reading too much into it. “I don’t think we saw the best out of any of the teams,” he said. “Powell River’s a team [which is] competitive because of their coaching, so they’ll get better each game. Surrey and Coquitlam, once they get their rosters in place, will be tough. Top to bottom, there’s no sleepers in this league. Any given night, any team can beat anybody.” The Rivermen begin the regular season this Friday when they play Salmon Arm at Prospera Centre in Chilliwack, as part of the Bauer BCHL Showcase. Langley will play its first four games away from home before hosting Nanaimo on Oct. 4 at the Langley Events Centre. For details visit langleyrivermen.com.

The Valley Huskers were just the tonic the Langley Rams needed. Coming off a 31-10 loss to the Okanagan Sun the weekend before, the Rams took care of business against the winless Huskers this past Saturday at McLeod Stadium, by rolling to a 46-7 victory. The win improves the junior Rams’ record to 5-2 on the season while the Huskers from Chilliwack remain winless at 0-7. Langley sits tied for second with the 5-2 Kamloops Broncos in the B.C. Football Conference standings. The Sun are on top of the conference with a 6-1 mark. The Vancouver Island Raiders (3-4), Westshore Rebels (2-5), and Huskers round out the BCFC standings. On Saturday, the Rams’ ground game was effective, with running back Nathan Lund racking up 88 yards and two touchdowns on just four carries. In total, eight different Rams had at least one turn carrying the ball. The other Rams’ running major came from Jordan Traversy. Langley quarterback Jordan McCarty connected on nine of 17 passes for 204 yards and one touchdown, and he was picked off once. He zoned in on two receivers: Daniel English, who caught five balls for 124 yards and a touchdown, and Malcolm Williams, who made four catches for 80 yards.

Langley Rams running back Nathan Lund gave Valley Huskers defensive back Daniel Mills a face-full of glove as he ran past him during Saturday’s B.C. Football Conference game at McLeod Stadium. On this play, Lund ran for one of his two touchdowns on the day as the Rams cruised to a 46-7 victory. Rams kicker Steve Thomas made good on all three of his field goal attempts from 37, 32, and 13 yards away. Thomas also made all five of his converts. On special teams, John Beckerleg returned a punt for a touchdown. In a losing cause, Huskers quarterback Dylan LaPrairie acquitted
himself well, connecting on 16 of 34 passes for 164 yards and a touchdown to Tyron Ledingham. Next up for the Rams is their final home game of the regular season on Saturday, Sept. 20 against Nanaimo’s Vancouver Island Raiders. Opening kickoff at McLeod Stadium is 4 p.m.

The Flames led 3-2 after 40 minutes, then scored the only four goals of the final frame to win going away. Ridge Meadows’ Michael Bell and Danny Wilson sandwiched goals around a pair of markers from their teammate Andrew Strelezki during a penalty-filled third period. Three of the Flames’ four thirdperiod goals came on the power play. The score was tied 2-2 after the first period, before Boston Colley scored on the power play to put the Flames ahead for good. His goal was the only one of the middle stanza. De Waal opened the game’s scoring on a Knights’ power play, 1:20 after the opening pick drop. Dylan McCann tallied Langley’s other goal. It was a chippy affair. Langley’s Craighead battled with Ridge Meadows’ Colley in the second period, and the Flames’ Shawn Tilton had a tilt with the Knights’ Jayden Gill in the third period. The Knights’ next home game is Thursday, Sept. 18 when they host the Abbotsford Pilots at the GPRC. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Coach Craighead said it will take a bit of time for his team to completely gel. “A lot of guys don’t know each other [quite yet], and none of the teams will be settled in until December,” he said.
