The body found in Hi Knoll Park is of awoman last seen getting into a car 17hours earlier.by Heather Colpitts and Matthew [email protected]
Lisa Ann Zielke was last seen get-ting into a vehicle around dinner-time on Oct. 30 in the 9100 block ofKing George Boulevard.
The body of the 41-year-old sextrade worker was found 17 hourslater in Hi Knoll Park at 195thStreet and Colebrook Road (50thAvenue).
“Lisa Ann was living a highrisk lifestyle in that she was drugdependent and actively work-ing as a sex worker, predomin-antly in the Surrey area,” said Sgt.Jennifer Pound, with the IntegratedHomicide Investigation Team(IHIT).
The police have now issued awarning for sex trade workers in light ofZielke’s death and discovery on the morningof Oct. 31. Investigators have been canvass-ing various locations to distribute posters andspeak with women in the sex trade. Womenwho are living a high risk lifestyle are beingwarned to take extra precaution during thistime, Pound explained.
After notifying her family, police releasedinformation about her identity and death to
encourage people to come forward with infor-mation they have that may relate to the case.
IHIT held a press conference on Nov. 4 toshow items found in the park.
“Found with her body was several piecesof furniture, including a brown sofabed and awood table and chairs,” Pound explained.
The police believe this ties in with herdeath.
“Investigators believe that thetimeline of when Lisa Ann wasin the park is very close to thetimeline that the furniture wouldhave been dumped. Theindividual(s) who dumpedthe furniture may haveinformation about her deathand police are looking toidentify and speak withthem,” she said.
An autopsy has been donebut the authorities are wait-ing on results of a toxicol-ogy exam.
“IHIT is looking to speakwith anyone who mayhave information about
this homicide. We are specificallylooking to speak with anyone who may haveseen Lisa Ann, or who have knowledge ofher whereabouts, after 6:15 p.m. on Oct. 30and into the following morning on Oct. 31,”Pound said.
Anyone with information is asked to callthe IHIT Tipline at 1-877-551-4448. Or toremain anonymous, use Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Hi-Knoll Park’s parking area at about195th Street and Colebrook Roadwas the site where the body of MarcBontkes was found in early 2009. Hismurder was linked to the drug trade,and three individuals were eventuallyconvicted in relation to the crime.
In Surrey, several other bodieshave been dumped along a stretch ofColebrook Road in western Surrey.
During a seven-week period earlier this year,four bodies were found between Jan. 28and March 13. However, those bodies wereall found near the 12100 or 12300 blocks ofColebrook, near the Surrey-Delta border. Thesmall section of Colebrook starting at theLangley-Surrey border is not directly connect-ed to the western portion of the street withthe same name.

UpFrontThe sixth annual fundraisinggala for Langley AnimalProtection Society netted atleast $85,000 Saturday.
by Roxanne [email protected]
Dinner for 10 with GlobalNews personality Steve Darlingnetted close to $10,000, while ahusband (make that two) for aday, generated $2,400 in dona-tions.
Those were the bigger ticketitems auctioned off this week-end that helped the sixth annualFurry Tail Endings gala breakall past fundraising records, saidSean Baker.
There were 425 animal loversgathered at the Coast Hotel& Convention CentreSaturday night, for whathas become the “mustattend” fundraising din-ner and evening to bene-fit the Langley AnimalProtection Society.
“This is our night tocelebrate great storiesand raise the moneythat we need to care forthe 1,300 dogs, cats andlarge animals that aregoing to need us next year,”said Baker, executive director ofLAPS.
But the guests were also thereto help celebrate a milestone10th anniversary for the shelter.
And they did much morethan that, Baker said, addingthat between buying tickets andparticipating in the silent andlive auctions at this year’s eventtopped all past galas in terms of
money raised.“I can confidently say that
we are at $85,000 after allexpenses,” said Baker. “This isa conservative number and willlikely rise.”

Langley Mounties areissuing personal warnings tohundreds of potential identitytheft victims.
by Matthew [email protected]
RCMP Auxiliaries in Langleywere headed out to warn hun-dreds of residents that theiridentities might have beenstolen.
On the weekend of Nov. 2 and3, officers were planning to visit300 to 500 homes, all of them
victims of mail theft.Police are trying to head off
scams and schemes aimed atlocal residents after recovering ahoard of stolen mail.
On Oct 21, there was a stringof break-ins to 18 mailboxes, allof which were pried open.
On Oct. 24, police respondedto a routine single-vehicle inci-dent in south Brookswood, onlyto find a small truck crashed inthe 3200 block of 200th Streetwith the driver nowhere to befound. Stolen mail was spillingout of the vehicle.
The letters, bills, and docu-ments inside had mostly beenstolen from Langley and Surrey.
With the mail recovered fromthis and other recent cases, theRCMP are planning to give outinformation to as many of thevictims as they can find.
“We’re actually going to goand notify these people person-ally,” said Cpl. Holly Marks,spokesperson for the detach-ment.
The Auxiliary officers, who arevolunteers who undertake com-munity policing duties, will askvictims to contact their banks,and will hand out tips aboutprotecting their identities.
The local police are alsoworking with their counter-parts in communities such as
Abbotsford, Maple Ridge, andMission, and with Canada Post,said Marks.
Township council has recentlycalled for Canada Post toimprove the security of its com-munity mail boxes, which areamong the frequent targets ofmail thieves.
Identity thieves will typicallylook for enough personal infor-mation on a victim to acquireeither access to the victim’s ownbank accounts, or to open newaccounts and get credit cards inthe victim’s name. The thievescan then run up debt and leavethe victim to deal with the fall-out.

Walkability and realestate costs dominatedan economic forum.by Matthew [email protected]
Experts on housing andliveability gathered totalk about the future ofLangley at the Township’sthird annual EconomicForum Oct. 24.
Keynote speaker DanBurden is a WashingtonState expert in creatingwalkable communities.
Burden pronounced him-self a fan of B.C. as oneof the centres of changesin urban design in NorthAmerica.
“Transportation hasalways designed our cit-ies for us,” Burden said,whether it was walking,animal power, trains, orcars.
He talked about build-ing cities that can accom-modate the car but whichare built for people. Thatmeans creating the rightlevel of street connectivity,and making places worthgoing to.
“If an engineer isfocused on just movingtraffic, they can destroy anentire city,” said Burden.
He advocated smaller,
more compact streetsthat will draw people andinvestment.
Does built environmentsupport human habitat?asked Burden.
“The good news is…everything is shifting,” hesaid. Car usage in NorthAmerica peaked in 2004.
Also speaking wereCameron Muir, a BC RealEstate Association econo-mist, Lance Jakubec, amarket analyst for theCanada Mortgage andHousing Corp., and RaminSeifi, Township commun-ity development manager.
Jakubec said Langley isexpected to grow by about15 per cent over the nextfive years, one of the fast-est growth rates in B.C.,and almost double the ratefor Greater Vancouver.
One reason is that an
average Vancouver condocosts the same as a housein Langley. Many peoplestill want a house with ayard, said Jakubec.
There has been stronggrowth in the constructionof townhouses and condosin Langley compared tosingle-family homes.
Jakubec also noted therehas been very little con-struction of new rentalhousing, but there are nostats on secondary suitesand basement rentals.
Muir, whose hometownis Langley, gave a broadoverview of the housingmarket in North Americaand Canada.
“I think there’s muchbrighter days ahead,” hesaid of the U.S. economy.
Muir believes therewon’t be a Canadian hous-ing crash to match the onethat hit the United Statesduring the recession in2008.
Housing sales have beenrebounding from a low in2012, and interest rates arestill very low, Muir said.
Seifi touched on thechallenges of being oneof the fastest growingmunicipalities, and alsomentioned some futuredevelopment plans, includ-ing the Willowbrook tran-sit exchange and regionalcentre.

The grieving father of amurdered gang membersays he never had anyintention of acting out aviolent revenge dream thathe shared with a victimsupport group last year.
Michael Denis LeClair,60, testified Thursday athis trial in B.C. ProvincialCourt in Abbotsford.LeClair is charged with onecount of uttering threats.
LeClair’s 27-year-old sonKevin, a Red Scorpionsgang member and friend ofgang leaders Jamie, Jarrod,and Jonathan Bacon, wasgunned down in a WalnutGrove shopping centre
parking lot in February2009. Charges were not laiduntil January 2011, and thetwo suspects remain on theloose.
In May 2012, after twofailed attempts to getcounselling, LeClair beganattending a support groupfor families and friends ofcrime victims in Abbotsfordto try and deal with hisincreasing frustration withpolice and the justice sys-tem.
He was often angry at themeetings, and admitted tohaving disturbing thoughtsand a violent dream inwhich he took elementaryschool students hostageand killed them when hisdemands – including the
surrender of the Baconbrothers – were not met.
LeClair said he neverintended to hurt or threatenanyone. He conceded thesupport group was thewrong forum in which todiscuss his dream, but hewanted to show the angerand resentment he andother crime victims feelwhen dealing with policeand the justice system.
“I was expressing mydream,” LeClair testified. “Ineeded to get my frustra-tion out.”
The groups’s threefacilitators did not initiallybelieve LeClair would acton his dream. However, onOct. 30, 2012, LeClair toldthe group that he had tried
unsuccessfully to get anassault rifle. The next day,one of the facilitators calledpolice, and told LeClair shewas concerned.
LeClair responded, “Youshould be concerned.”
He testified that he meantshe should be worried in abroader sense, explaining,“Everybody should be con-cerned, society should beconcerned – not just aboutme but about anybodywho’s going through whatI’m going through.”
After his son’s murderand prior to the incidentwith the support group,LeClair had numerousnegative interactions withthe authorities, Crownprosecutor Wayne Norris
said, reading from anagreed statement of facts.
In August 2010, during atraffic stop, LeClair told theofficer that he would go ona rampage if his son’s mur-der was not solved.
On Oct. 7, 2010, LeClairsaid to a Surrey bylawofficer, a former RCMPmember, that he wouldgive police two years tosolve Kevin’s murder or hewould find those respon-sible himself and kill them,and added he would kill alot of people in the process.
A year later, LeClairtold a commercial vehicleinspector that his son hadbeen killed and in fiveyears he was going to startshooting people because of
his frustration. He said hehad guns and when policecame to his home, hewould take them out.
In the past year, LeClairstarted seeing a counsellor,and said he has made a lotof progress dealing withhis anger: “I really work oncalming myself down so Idon’t blow up.”
He said he’s still griev-ing and describes what heis going through as “a lifesentence,” but now he canlook forward to the future.
“We’ve got future plansand I want to see themcome about,” he said.
The trial was scheduledfor one day.

My decades in the news business havebrought me to a point where I am far too cyn-ical to be easily disillusioned – saddened fromtime to time, maybe, but the illusions evapor-ated a long time ago. Or so I thought.
While I allow myself to get peeved prettyeasily – maybe too easily, sometimes – I don’tusually bother to get really angry about things,and certainly not about the stupid thingspoliticians do or say – there’s too much ofthat to evoke serious emotionalresponse without risking onset ofchronic depression.
But this weekend, StephenHarper really rattled my chain.
And if you understand thebasic concepts of democracy– the way it’s supposed to work,I mean – then your chain has tobe chaffing a little, too.
That the leader of this country could shoutout that he “couldn’t care less” what anyonewho disagrees with him thinks – about any-thing, let alone about questions of his integrityand his apparent complicity in scandalousbehaviour at the very top reaches of the polit-ical structure that he oversees – shocked me tothe core.
I guess what bothers me most is that his out-rageous disregard – his arrogance – towardsthe country and the people he has sworn toserve should be so openly expressed in thedays when so many of the Canadians aboutwhose thoughts he couldn’t care less are wear-ing poppies.
The approach of Remembrance Day is sup-posed to bring to mind the tens of thousandsof Canadians who over the past century havegiven their lives – or the hundreds of thou-sands who have risked or continue to risktheir lives – because of their deep concernfor their country and our freedom to hold
and express our widely divergent views andthoughts.
As Remembrance Day approaches, we speakof their sacrifice, but we sacrifice nothing inreturn.
For the most part, even when we disagreewith our government’s actions – even whenwe feel disgust for our government’s lead-ers – we continue to follow the government’sexample.
We gripe and complain that “we” have nobusiness in Afghanistan (or wherever) – but“we” are not there. “We” elect the politicianswho send our soldiers into harm’s way andthen treat them like they are some kind ofinconvenience when they come home bro-ken… or dead.
We don’t have to follow our government’sarrogant lead. Go out and buy apoppy. Throw in an extra buckor two, if you can spare it.
And wear that poppy proudly.The people who made the
poppy an important symbol ofwho we are as Canadians areworth supporting. As long asthere remain people like that
standing guard over us abroad, there’s hopefor us at home – hope that an understandingof what they stand for, hope that an apprecia-tion of their sacrifice will rub off on the rest ofus and on our leaders.
The poppy symbolizes more than a hopethat we can avoid war, or that we can getthrough with as little bloodshed as possible.
Find a copy of Lieutenant Colonel JohnMcCrae’s In Flanders Fields and read it care-fully. All the way through.
The poppies in McCrae’s Flanders fieldsdon’t just symbolize honour for those whodied, or respect for those who put their liveson the line for the rest of us.
The poppy is about all of us.Pay special attention to the final words:“To you from failing hands we throw/The
torch; be yours to hold it high./If ye breakfaith with us who die/We shall not sleep,though poppies grow/In Flanders fields.”
The poppy, like the final verse, is not just atribute, it’s a call to action.

OpinionOur View
New parentsneeded for kids
When we think of adoption, we tend tothink of happy couples waiting in line to filltheir arms with a beautiful newborn babyboy or girl, propitiously provided for themby a young woman forced by personal mis-fortune to seek a better life for a child shewill have no means to support.
It’s a faulty picture of reality.While many prospective adoptive parents
may be waiting in line for newborns, thelonger line-up is one of older children andteens hoping to find permanent families.
November is Adoption Awareness Monthin B.C. The “awareness” part of that titleincludes bringing to mind the many childrenwho are not adopted – about 1,000 acrossthis province. That’s not a small number,considering only a third more than that– about 1,300 – were adopted from govern-ment care over the past five years (210 inthe past year).
Many of those awaiting adoption areteenagers with a need to belong, to be partof a real family. Indeed, while teens repre-sent more than 30 per cent of kids waitingto be adopted, they only account for justover 10 per cent of adoptions completedeach year.
In real life, babies are rarely left on theorphanage doorstep.
Kids come into government care for avariety of reasons.
Parents may give up their children togovernment care because they feel unableto provide a safe, stable home, or unable toprovide the type of care their child needs.Sometimes it becomes inappropriate forthem to accept the child back into their owncare.
Sometimes parents pass away withoutnaming a guardian.
In other cases, parents have decided thatadoption is the best option for their child.
But children who have lost their parentsneed new ones. It’s as simple as that.

Tue sday, Novembe r 5 , 2013 A7Letters to the EditorLangleyAdvance
Dear Editor,It is the time of year again where we pin
those plastic blood red poppies above ourhearts in remembrance of those who foughtand died for us.
Most of us probably do notknow that the custom wasfirst started by an Americannamed Moina Michael. Shewrote a poem, We ShallKeep the Faith, in whichshe pledges to wear apoppy in remembrance ofthose who fought in war,in response to the nowiconic In Flanders Fields.
She first wore the poppyin 1918, and in 1920, theAmerican Legion began to use it asits symbol of remembrance.
It was 1921 when the Royal CanadianLegion adopted it, and ever since,Canadians have pinned that little flowerabove our hearts in the weeks leading upto Remembrance Day.
It was May 3, 1915, during the secondbattle of Ypres. Lieutenant Colonel JohnMcCrae noticed, as he buried his closefriend, that poppies grew around thegraves of the dead soldiers. It inspiredhim to write In Flanders Fields, sittingin the back of an field ambulance.
Not satisfied with the poem, hecrumpled it up and threw it away. Ifnot for his fellow soldiers convincing himto publish it, we may never have worn thepoppies we wear today. The poem waspublished in a weekly magazine, Punch, onDec. 8, 1915, and today it is one of the mostpopular poems of the First World War.
John McCrae died of pneumonia on Jan.28, 1918, at the age of 45.
The corn or field poppy is an agriculturalweed in Europe. Its seeds lie dormant underthe soil, waiting to be disturbed so theycan germinate. Perhaps the millions of highexplosive rounds detonated in the desolate,muddy, crater-riddled “no man’s land” sep-arating opposing trench lines disturbed theseeds. It woke them from their slumber tobring some colour and beauty to the mudand destruction that trench warfare broughtto once green fields.
Imagine a world of mud and blood, a
landscape resembling a distant, barren,alien world, and this little red flower pokesup from the mud, small, delicate, andbeautiful in a world of horror and ugliness.
What must it have been like to be ayoung man, cold and wet, feet rotting
from trench foot, terrified, tired,and longing for something thatdoes not look like mud, and tosee these little flowers bloomingamongst the death. What a sightthat must have been!
Even during the Napoleonicwars, it was noted that red pop-pies would grow around thegraves of soldiers as if drawn to
those who have fallen in battle.The little red flowers stood guard over
the bodies of our brave soldiers, and nowthey are over our hearts because that iswhere our fallen are, in the hearts of allCanadians.
Our soldiers have fought,died, bled, sacrificed, andsuffered so the rest of uswouldn’t have to. We existbecause of them, and weowe our way of life to them.
When I pin a poppy tomy shirt, I am remindedthat there is a legacy behindme of brave soldiers whoanswered the call. Theystood up and fought for us
and each other, not for politics or religion,not because they liked it or wanted to; theytook up arms because they believed it wasthe right thing to do.
I am reminded of why I volunteered to bea peacekeeper in Bosnia. It was because Ifelt it was the right thing to do.
Now I am a veteran and I wear my poppyfaithfully because I cannot bear to “breakfaith with us who die.”
I look at the young men and women whonow wear our nation’s uniform, and I’mglad there are still enough warriors to standbetween us and evil, so we can all sleepsoundly in the night.
Pin a poppy above your heart, read “InFlanders Fields,” and never forget what itrepresents.
Michael Major, Former Corporal and NATOPeacekeeper, Walnut Grove

Poppies belong over hearts
Lettersto the
Editor
Dear Editor,When I first heard about
Coulter Berry in FortLangley I was quite excitedthat there were going to beseveral apartments withinthe development.
Last year my wife passedaway, and months laterI had my leg amputated.Having lived in the Fortmany years and now aloneand unable to drive, the
project seemed perfect forme, with two handicapsuites in the building plan.
Now a small group witha “society” will have usbelieve that they are the“majority,” that they havethousands of signatures andthe resources to strike any-thing down.
They are not the onlygame in town. Variances toby-laws are quite common.
Yes, I am disappointedand angry. These peopleneed to look at the wholepicture, not just their ownself interests. They need totake a long look at the sod-turning picture taken lastAug. 20, and they will seehundreds of happy faces.
And what about develop-ers’ costs, as well as all thepeople who are involved inthe project supply chain?
Let’s not forget about the24 workers with familieswho were sent home twomonths before Christmas.
You see, I will survive,although I might haveto leave my friends andrelocate to another town.
But I do feel cheated bythe group of five who thinkthey are in control of “our”village.
I hope this letter movesother voices in favour of thedevelopment to be heard.

More density, more problemsDear Editor,
Despite near unanimous neighbourhood opposition torezoning in Walnut Grove, despite previous councils havingalready rejected identical rezoning applications, our coun-cil is focused on leaving a normal, old neighbourhood ina situation where they must remove most of the old trees,leaving people with no parking, no park space, no yards.
Who would benefit from a doubling of the density?Certainly nobody who has a future here. We cannot allmove to the Fort.

Going more high-techseems to have helped theFraser Valley Wine TastingFestival.
The 24th annual festival,organized by the RotaryClub of Langley Central,featured a bigger digitalpresence in the weeksleading up to the Nov. 2gala.
And that helped lead tostronger ticket sales thanksto the convenience ofonline purchasing.
Coverage through theLangley Advance and sisterpublications in GlacierMedia also helped gener-ate more interest and moreinterest outside of Langley.
Before the event, 850tickets sold, a strong turn-out on par with the festi-val’s best years and morethan 750 ticket-holdersturned out to WillowbrookShopping Centre to enjoy
an evening oftastings, gour-met eats andlive entertain-ment.
Steve Carter,the club mem-ber overseeingpublicity, saidthe safety mes-sage seems tohave hit home.
“I noticed alot of peoplegetting droppedoff [instead ofdriving them-selves],” henoted.
Carter notedthat the finaltallies won’tbe in for a fewdays but it lookslike it should bein the neighbourhood of$40,000-$45,000.
The money raised goesto help at-risk youth.
Planning for the 2014wine festival starts next
summer but until then,the Rotary Club of LangleyCentral will have otherevents, and works closelywith other local clubs tofundraise and help thecommunity.

Flower enthusiastsvied to grow themost startlingorchids for aweekend show.
by Matthew [email protected]
From miniscule to the size of the palmof your hand, and in every colour fromwhite to black, orchids were on display intheir profusion Nov. 2 and 3 at the Worldof Orchids Show and Sale in Langley.
The Fraser Valley Orchid Society heldtheir annual show at the George PrestonRecreation Centre inBrookswood.
Four societiesfrom around B.C.entered flowers,and the judg-ing was done onThursday before allthe orchids wereput on display forthe public.
The best inshow this yearwas a cattleyahybrid ownedby Paul Henson
of Vancouver Island.Henson also took thereserve champion rib-bon for second placefor another of hisflowers.
The judges lookat the whole flower,including the petals’shape when makingtheir decisions, saidAbu Salleh, a judge and
grower with the Fraser Valley society.For many people, the reason to grow
orchids is the vast variety and beauty ofthe flowers, said Wayne Louie, the chairof the show.
There are more than 20,000 knownorchid species, with varieties native toevery continent but Antarctica. There
are also about 100,000known hybrid varieties.
Beginners can startwith breeds that areraised for house-plantconditions, and arehardy enough to survivewithout much specialcare, Louie said.
The show is in part-nership this year withthe Langley HospiceSociety, which willreceive half of the pro-ceeds.

“She went out really hard,and I didn’t know if she couldsustain that, and she did,” Lutessaid.
“She’s a competitor,” headded. “When it comes to com-petition, that’s definitely whereshe shines.”
The Gators ended up third inteam standings behind winnerSemiahmoo and second placeLittle Flower Academy.

The fastest Langley runner inthe 4.3 kilometre senior girlsrace was Walnut Grove’s RobynBuckingham, who ran to 87th in19:06.34.
Lutes said the rain and stiffwind made conditions less thanideal, to put it mildly, but histeam members persevered.
“It was torrential rain andwindy so it was awesomeweather,” he said with a laugh.“Gators love that kind of weath-er. The course got progressivelyworse as the day went on; it [thecourse] got beat up.”

The TWU women will enter the CISchampionship tournament with aconference silver medal.
A silver lining wasn’t as pretty asit may seem for the Trinity WesternUniversity Spartans women’s soccer team.
The Spartans were dethroned as CanadaWest champions, after losing 2-1 in over-time to the Alberta Pandas in the confer-ence title game Saturday at CentennialStadium in Victoria.
Alberta’s Julia Ignacio scored the game-winning goal five minutes into overtimeof the conference final.
In the 95th minute, Ignacio head-ed the ball into the net after con-verting a cross from two yardsout by Paula Dadensky.
Ignacio’s redirection bankedoff the crossbar past Spartansgoalkeeper Rachel Bedek forwhat proved to be the winner.
After Ignacio’s goal five min-utes into the first extra-time half, theSpartans desperately tried to tie the
match. In the final three minutes ofextra time, Caitlin Haines was robbedby Pandas goalkeeper Kelti Biggs, and
the Spartans pressured the Pandasthroughout the final minutes but
could not equalize.Battling sloppy and soggy field
conditions, both squads scoredfirst-half goals – the SpartansKrista Gommeringer in the fifthminute and Alberta’s Jessie
Candlish in the 35th minute – andwere tied 1-1 at both halftime and at theend of regulation.
Despite the loss, the defending CISchampion Spartans still earned a berth inthe national championship, where TWUwill look to defend its CIS title startingThursday in Toronto.
The Spartans will be looking for theirfifth national gold medal in the last 10years.
The win marks Alberta’s first CanadaWest title since 2001.
They now set their sights on a CIS ban-ner, looking for their fourth in schoolhistory.

…continued from page A13“We’re obviously bit-
terly disappointed that wecouldn’t three-peat, but I’mreally proud of the girlsand how hard they foughttonight,” Spartans coachGraham Roxburgh saidfollowing the match. “Itwasn’t pretty soccer withthe weather playing a fac-tor but it was a good battleout there and, just like lastnight, one good team hadto lose a tough game.
Roxburgh added, “Eventhough we scored early,we were flat through thefirst 15 minutes, but it wasgood to see the girls reallypick it up over the final 75minutes of regulation. Wehad some great perform-ances from a number of
players, and they reallyhung in there and gave ittheir all.”
In the second half, theSpartans had two wonder-ful chances warded off byBiggs, before Alberta hadits own golden opportun-ity off the boot of juniorAnnalise Schellenberg,whose attempt sailed justover the crossbar.
In the bronze-medalgame, the UVic Vikesdefeated the UBCThunderbirds on penaltykicks, by a 3-1 margin.

Off to nationalsFifth-year TWU sen-
ior Caitlin Haines scoredin the final half of extratime, lifting her squad toa come-from-behind 2-1win over the Victoria Vikeson Friday at CentennialStadium in the second oftwo CW semifinals.
“I’m super proud of ourteam. We battled all theway and we believed thatwe would get a chanceand Jenn’s goal was fan-tastic to get us to over-time,” Roxburgh said. “Wedefended with incredibleheart… our back four wasfantastic. Credit to Victoria– they are an excellentteam.”
With the win, theSpartans qualified for thenationals.
“[Making nationals was]something we set out forfrom last year. I think wehave an amazing team thisyear,” Haines said. “I’m afifth-year and our goal wasjust to play united.”
Haines added, “Goinginto the second half, I wasreally nervous. I was sohappy for Jenn Castillo toscore. I actually started tocry. We are, together, astrong team. It takes everyperson on our team to dotheir job. I mean, I cannotask for anything better.”
