School was set to open Sept.2. The new school yearstarted Sept. 22.by Heather [email protected]

Doors of Langley School Districtschools opened for the start of anew school year Monday.

Students missed 14 days ofthis school year and time back inJune during the last school year.

“The Ministry of Educationhas decided that time lost at thebeginning of this school yearwill not be made up,” explainedLangley superintendent SuzanneHoffman.

There will be tweeking of thecalendar.

A scheduled non-instructionalhalf day that was to take place onFriday, Sept. 26 will be resched-uled, likely in the spring.

“Semestered secondary schoolsmay alter their semester turn-around days to balance the twosemesters but otherwise we willbe implementing the currentapproved calendars as they are”Hoffman said. “Details of anydate changes to semester turn-around will be communicatedwith the affected families as soonas they are available.”

Families are advised to keep a

close eye on their school’s web-sites for changes.

The district has done prelimin-ary work on what the job actionhas meant financially.

“The Ministry of Education willbe reclaiming the costs associ-ated with the lost time,” accord-ing to Langley School Districtsecretary-treasurer David Green.“This includes teacher salariesand benefits and well as variousoperating expenses. The impacton the budget should be minimalas the money saved will be takenback by the ministry.”

The contract was ratified lastweek by teacher votes and byschool district, which also hadto vote. So on a drizzly Mondaymorning, Langley schools wel-comed back more than 18,000students.

“This journey has been longand challenging but the Districtis thankful for your patience andexcited to begin a new schoolyear,” Hoffman said in an open-ing day letter to parents.

Families impacted by the jobaction can sign up with the gov-ernment to receive $40 per dayfor the missed time this schoolyear from Sept. 2 to the day thecontract was ratified.

The online registration siteis still accepting applications(https://www.etax.gov.bc.ca/btp/tesp/_/).

A Langley Special Olympicsathlete and ambassadorspoke in front of presidentBarack Obama, the firstlady, and several dignitariesand celebrities on July 31.

Mr. President, meet MatthewWilliams.

When Williams, a SpecialOlympics BC – Langley athleteand global messenger, tookcentre stage at the White Housewith fellow Special Olympicsathlete leaders and youth activ-ists, he felt honoured to have thegenuine attention of the pres-ident and first lady of the UnitedStates.

President Barack Obama andFirst Lady Michelle Obama,honorary chairs of the 2015Special Olympics World SummerGames, hosted a dinner at theWhite House on July 31.

“I was pretty nervous,”Williams told the Langley Advance.“Anytime you have the oppor-tunity to speak to so many prom-inent public figures, includingthe president and the first lady,there were jitters, butonce I got up there tosay a few words, I gotcomfortable and felt abit better.”

The event celebratedthe Special Olympicsmovement and itswork for inclusion andunity, and built excite-ment with just under ayear to go until the bigWorld Games in LosAngeles.

“It was great to seehow much [President Obama]cared. You could see his wordswere genuine,” said Williams,who was the lone SOBC ath-lete involved in the event. “Fora man so busy with so manythings going on around theworld, it meant a lot that he tooktime out of his schedule to speakat this event and take an interestin the people who were speak-ing. I was really happy to seethat.”

Williams also had a chance toshake the hand of the presidentand First Lady Michelle Obama,and joined a group of SpecialOlympics athletes and youthactivation supporters to sharetheir stories with a star-studdedaudience.

“It was an amazingexperience to not onlyshake the hand of thepresident but also thefirst lady,” Williamsnoted. “It was some-thing you only do oncein your lifetime and Iwas happy to have theopportunity.”

Along with the pres-ident and first lady,there were some of theworld’s leading socialactivists, business lead-

ers, entertainers, members ofCongress and sport legends, suchas Dikembe Mutumbo, SenatorTom Harkin, Stevie Wonder,Andy Roddick, and BrooklynDecker.

“The fact that so many accom-plished, wonderful people arehere is a testament to the impactthat Special Olympics has had onour nation, and has had on ourworld,” said president Obama inhis remarks at the White House.

Advocating for othersWilliams is a member of the

Special Olympics Internationalboard of directors, chair of theThird Global Athlete Congress,and a Special Olympics SargentShriver International global mes-senger.

He said he was glad to see somany influential people cometogether at the White House insupport of Special Olympics.

Many stars came out to hearfrom and talk with SpecialOlympics athletes.

“There was good representa-tion from Special Olympics ath-letes. The athletes had a chanceto tell their stories and be ableto showcase the amazing talentsand capabilities they have,”Williams said.

The event aimed both to sharethe Special Olympics vision ofinclusion and unity, and buildexcitement and support for themovement and the upcomingWorld Games.

“I think we got the messageacross and we got people talkingabout it,” Williams said. “Withsocial media and so many thingscoming up, moving forward withthe L.A. World Games, this isdefinitely going to boost aware-

ness and really promote theGames. We had the people weneeded to in the room that willhelp us get to what we wantedto accomplish for L.A. and withan inclusive generation. Thatwas a big step in the right direc-tion.”

Williams told the White Houseaudience how he faced seizures,brain surgery, and bullying whenhe was younger, but poweredthrough with the help of thepeople who have believed inhim.

Now he is on his way tobecoming a certified personaltrainer and aims to help otherindividuals with intellectual dis-abilities.

His story struck a chord withaudience members such asJordin Sparks and Jason Derulo,who approached Williams to talkafterward and ask more abouthis experiences. Williams said healso particularly enjoyed talkingwith tennis star Andy Roddickand his model-actress wifeBrooklyn Decker, who askedabout Special Olympics andWilliams’ own sports.

And then it was right back intothe world of sports for Williams.The day after the White Housegala, he flew home and travelledto a three-day speed skatingcamp in Kelowna with fellowSOBC athlete Paige Norton.

Williams is one of three SOBC– Langley athletes who willcompete for Canada at the 2015World Games next July.

He joins his basketball team-mate, Alastair Singh, andswimmer Josh Low as Langleyresidents chosen to compete forCanada next summer.

Team Canada consists of 115athletes, 32 coaches, 11 mis-sion staff, three team managersand one Chef de Mission whowill be travelling to Los Angelesnext July, with 85 of the ath-letes attending their first WorldGames.

“It will be an honour,”Williams said.” This will be myfirst time as a competitor at aWorld Games.”

I’m not an economist.I’m not an expert in international trade rela-

tions.Maybe the Foreign Investment Promotion

and Protection Agreement (FIPA) signedbetween the governments of Canada andChina is a good deal.

Or maybe it’s a bad deal.I have neither formal education nor experi-

ential background that I could add to thedebate about the value of the deal.

What bothers me is that the debate is tak-ing place after the deal has beensigned.

Nobody gave me the benefitof the doubt that I might havesomething to contribute to atrade deal between Canada anda country that constitutes oneof the largest economies in theworld.

There are lots of people in this countrywithout formally acknowledged understanding– people like myself, but with a different rangeof personal interests – who would have likedto have participated in the decision-makingprocess.

And many of them might have been able tocontribute valuable thoughts.

Of course, tapping into that kind of gen-eral knowledge base is a radical concept that– once upon a time in a land far, far away– used to be called “democracy.”

I understand, however, that internationalpolitics is not a wiki-world proposition– although politicians often like to invoke thatspectre of democracy and give the impressionthat we all have input and each of us is aninvaluable part of the overall public policy-making machinery that guides their decisions.

When it suits their purpose.

So personally, I’d be perfectly content toleave complex evaluations of such things astrade deals and international negotiations tothe experts who have the certified training andexperience to understand them.

Too little value is placed on expert under-standing these days.

Except, that is, the experts weren’t giventhe opportunity to provide input into the tradedeal, either, not unless they came to the tablewith the “right” answers (and the right polit-ical orientation) from the get-go.

Climate change… environment… social eco-nomics… arctic sovereignty… trade deals…

Experts need not apply for consultationprivileges… unless they have only the “right”answers to offer.

Besides, what about just letting people knowwhat’s going on?

How is it that we are only allowed to geton the China FIPA bus after theengine is in full running modeand the wheels are turning?

I get the impression that PrimeMinister Stephen Harper has hisown special coterie of experts ondemocracy, too.

Then there’s the flip side ofthe anti-expert movement: Justin

Trudeau’s policy lottery.Forget about earning your place at the table

by developing an area of expertise – Justinisn’t interested, because like Stevie, he doesn’treally need you, he already has his crack troopof policy wonks filled with pre-approved partypolicies.

For only three dollars, however, you canliterally win a chance to bend the ear of thefederal Liberals’ prime ministerial hopeful withyour favourite policy concept.

And you meet Hillary Clinton… who isnot running for president… or not not run-ning… or… whatever. At least there seems tobe an acknowledgement in the Liberal Partythat visiting with a U.S. presidential hopefulis of more consequence than sharing policythoughts with a potential prime minister.

Hey! Maybe next time we need a trade deal,we could just draw names from a hat!

Avoid hazardsin school zones

As of this week, children have againbecome a standard driving hazard – espe-cially if the route for your morning com-mute or afternoon trip to the grocery storeruns through or near a school zone.

Kids are back in school. And they’reexcited about it. Both those factors willrequire extra caution from drivers.

Because many parents opt to drive theirchildren to and from school, there will bea significant spike in neighbour traffic vol-umes and congestion on weekday morningsand afternoons from here on in.

Traffic congestion has a way of creat-ing frustration and inciting rash behaviour– and bad decisions – in drivers who sud-denly realize they are going to be late forwork or appointments.

In an environment of traffic congested byparents trying to relearn the routine of get-ting their youngsters to the school’s frontdoor, frustrated commuters finding theirusual route to work clogged, and massesof kids bubbling with excitement, one baddecision can wreak havoc on many lives.

To create even more confusion, lots ofkids will be walking to school, creating amass of pedestrian traffic excited about theirbelated return to school, finally reconnect-ing with friends, and filled with all sorts ofthoughts and ideas to distract them fromthe business of safely negotiating their routefrom home to classroom.

Throw in the growing trend to distracteddriving as people who have always triedto combine their commute with breakfastor personal grooming and now split theirconcentration on cellphones and texting (weshudder to think what will happen whendevices like Google Glass become ubiqui-tous), and tragedy lurks at every corner, atthe edge of every sidewalk.

Try to remember, as you’re textingor chatting or trying to make up somelost time, that in any unintended contactbetween a vehicle and a child, the childalways loses.

And so do you.– B.G.

Dear Editor,Congratulations to the City and Township

of Langley, and in particular, to the organ-izing committee of the recent BC SeniorsGames for doing an excellent job in makingthe games such a successful and memorableevent.

This was my first Seniors Games as a par-ticipant, and I was really impressed by theorganization, the facilities, the preparation,the scheduling, and particularly, the hospi-tality that we received during our stay.

A huge thank-you goes to the organizing

committee and all the volunteers, and a spe-cial thank-you goes to Ross and his merryband of helpers who managed to coordinateand play almost 600 games of pickleball inless than five days.

I think Langley’s new motto should be:“The impossible we do immediately, mir-acles take a little longer!”

As a participant, it was great to meet newfriends, exchange information, and buildrelationships. Thank you for the opportun-ity, and congratulations on a job well done.

Shay McAuley, Fruitvale

Appreciation

Seniors’ games well played

Dear Editor,If members of the unelect-

ed “Unelection Campaign”group are willing to mis-inform the public about asimple variance application,then how can anyone takethem seriously on anythingelse?

Looking for issues andattention, members of theUnelection Campaign group,a political upstart, anti-progress group that hopesto unseat some incumbentswith their own candidatesin the Township in theNovember election, decidedto oppose a basic setbackvariance application at theSept. 8 council meeting.

Even though after monthsof study staff had recom-mended approval, thisgroup decided to use itsbullying tactics, and camewith frivolous and baselessobjections.

The simple applicationasked to build a new homein the corner of the propertyso that, if future develop-ment comes, the housewouldn’t have to be torndown – a difference of 2.25

metres from the front and1.5m from the side.

The setbacks would bethe same as the subdivisionacross the street, on quarteracre lots with 7.5m frontand 1.5m side set-backs.

Since this was notan application todevelop or changezones, it would eas-ily fit in the currentOCP designation of7,000-square-foot lots.

Also, the lowest density anew OCP could bring to thisresidential area is quarter-acre lots.

They went on Facebookwhere, as everyone knows,opinions become factswhich lead to the wrongconclusions.

Their leader defiantlydeclared “…nobody askedus to be part of any plan-ning… That is a mistake.”

One of their principals,Anna R. (who refuses togive her last name) toldher followers, “ApparentlyNirmal Kooner did not hearus well… he was FOR thenew OCP.”

Someone said, “I may notagree with what you say,but I will fight to the deathyour right to say it.” Sadly,Anna R. either doesn’t careor understand this concept

in our democraticsociety.

Does this unelect-ed, uninformedgroup naively thinkthat we shouldget their permis-sion before doingbusiness with the

Township? Do they thinkintimidation is their answerto everything?

One spokesperson fromacross the street didn’t real-ize she was opposing thesame setbacks she had onher own property, until toldby staff.

The rest of the groupdidn’t even live in the area.Their properties wouldn’t beaffected. It was not a publichearing. Traditionally, onlyneighbours are supposed toair their views if their prop-erty is adversely affected.

Another spoke at lengthabout not being able to parktrucks in the driveway. Ifyou can’t park your vehicleon a 25-foot driveway,most of Langley will be introuble.

In their world, even a sin-gle home is “high density.”Don Quixote would havebeen proud of them.

I urge their followersto do their own research.Everything on Facebook isnot true. I would have beenhappy to discuss their con-cerns over a cup of coffee,but that wouldn’t suit their“shoot first, ask questionslater” style.

I will still build my home.It just won’t be an efficientuse of land. Hmmm… Iwonder if I have to askthem what colour I can use?

By the way, I have to cuta couple dying trees forsafety reasons, so don’t gocrazy.

Nirmal Kooner, Brookswood

Environment

Warming evidence all aroundDear Editor,

I’m curious to know where Roland Seguin [Global warm-ing lucrative con, gets his facts from?

Does he not inform himself before opining about globalwarming?

Has he not noticed that the Golden Ears are not snow-capped year round, as in the past?

Has he not noticed the amount of floods on the planet?Something is happening. Weather patterns are becoming

more destructive, possibly due to the amount of melting ofice caps around the world.

And now the snow on Mount Everest, the tallest moun-tain on the planet, is melting as we live on in our lives.

It’s too bad that there are people out there like Mr. Seguinwho don’t inform themselves before spewing misinforma-tion.

The Langley Good TimesCruise-In on Sept. 6 wasa big success, and had noshortage of Langley entrants.

by Troy [email protected]

Agood number of ownersof classic cars and trucks,and hot rods didn’t have

to travel very far to show offtheir prized possessions at theLangley Good Times Cruise-In.

The annual show and shinewas held Sept. 6 under sunshineand clear blue skies in down-town Langley.

Langley resident AlTecklenborg lounged in alawn chair next to his 1913Ford Model T at the Concoursd’Elegance at Douglas Park.

Tecklenborg said he acquiredthe Model T from formerLangley City Mayor, the late RegEasingwood, “way back when,”around 1970.

A five passenger, four cylinder,20 horsepower car, a Model TTouring Car retailed for $600and included an extension top,top cover, automatic brass wind-shield, speedometer, two six-inch gas lamps, generator, threeoil lamps, horn, tools, and jack.

His Model T “runs good,” saidTecklenborg, who drove the vin-tage vehicle to Cruise-In.

“We did a frame-up, I guessyou would call it, took it allapart, cleaned it up, painted it,”he said.

Further north, along theone-way portion of FraserHighway was where you

could find Al Underhill’s 1955Chevy Bel Air.

The Bel Air has come a longway in many respects; Underhill

bought it from its previousowner from Boston, Mass.,about two years back.

He found the car on a “racingjunk website,” Underhill said.

Since acquiring the Bel Air,Underhill has given it a completeoverhaul, including new paint,motor, transmission, rear end,suspension, andframe.

This isn’t hisfirst classic car.Underhill saidhe’s been a carcollector for 30years.

The Bel Air is a nodto Underhill’s first car, a ’55Chevy that he purchased whenhe was 15 years old.

This marks the second straightyear Underhill has shown thecar at Cruise-In. He said he had“lots of thumbs up” from pass-ers-by on Saturday.

“It’s amazing,” Underhill said.“Old people like it, too. It’snoisy, but they like it.”

Parked next to the Bel Air wasUnderhill’s 1968 Camaro, whichhe is trying to sell.

Acouple of blocks away,Shannon MacDonald,from the Bradner area,

had her hand-built hot rod ondisplay.

“It started as a joke,”MacDonald shared. “We had anold, beat up body hanging in therafters…”

It took MacDonald four yearsto collect the parts, followed byabout four-and-a-half months ofwhat she described as “intenselabour” to put the car together.

MacDonald did everything onthe car herself, including cus-tom building the chassis, manyof the suspension components,engine exhaust headers and fab-ricating the custom body.

“I did it all myself,” she said.“Every last stinky part of it.”

She got it on the road in July2010, and this was the thirdtime it’s shown at Cruise-In.

“I live in Abbotsford and it[Cruise-In] is lots of fun, andI’ve got lots of friends whocome here, so it’s kind of asocial event,” MacDonald said.“So you wander around and youget to see new cars and see ideason other people’s cars.”

It’s always a crowd-pleaser,MacDonald said.

“People love the thing,” shesaid. “They get quite a chuckleout of it because it takes themback to the old days.”

While registered as a 2010vehicle, it’s based on a 1924

roadster pick-up.And it has coveredplenty of asphalt, rack-ing up 17,000 milesso far. MacDonaldhas driven to rela-

tively far-away placessuch as Ascroft and

Barkerville.The 420 horsepower five-

speeder, which weighs a scant1,850 pounds, has a lot of giddyup and go.

“In Ashcroft, I granny shiftedit and idled off the line, andit went 12 seconds flat at 116mph, and it gets 24-and-a-halfmiles to the gallon on the high-way,” MacDonald said. “It’s likedriving a thousand horsepowerChevelle.”

A motivated Langley teamthumped the visiting VIRaiders at McLeod Stadiumon Saturday.by Troy [email protected]

Take away the fact theywere facing their longtime rivaland defending B.C. championVancouver Island Raiders fromNanaimo.

Or that they were playing theirfinal home game of the regularseason.

And forget that they werelooking to avenge a 52-44 lossto the Raiders the last time theteams met Aug. 23 at CaledoniaPark in Nanaimo.

Erase all those factors from theequation, and the Langley Ramsstill had no shortage of motiva-tion heading into Saturday’sgame at McLeod Stadium.

That’s because their teammateand junior national team mem-ber, offensive lineman JesseLawson, sat on the sidelines,watching the game, as he beginsthe long road to recovery fromemergency surgery on his lowerleft leg.

The 6’6” 270-pound Lawsonhad been hampered by calfpain recently and soon after,

was in hospital for emergencysurgery to repair compartmentsyndrome, which occurs whenexcessive pressure builds upinside an enclosed space in thebody.

“He won’t be back all yearfor us,” Rams head coach JeffAlamolhoda said. “It dependson how his muscle responds tothe surgery, but if all goes well,he might possibly have a fullrecovery.”

Another motivator was play-ing in memory of linebacker J.T.Fernandez. The 21-year-old fromCloverdale, who was a mem-ber of the Okanagan Sun, diedsuddenly late last week underunknown circumstances.

“A lot of guys [with the Rams]played with him,” Alamolhodasaid. “They felt like they lost abrother. It was tough. So we hada lot to fight for, a lot to leaveon the line for.”

The Rams delivered by troun-cing the Raiders 53-14.

The win improves the Rams’record to 6-2. The Langley jun-iors remain tied in second placein the BCFC with the KamloopsBroncos (also 6-2).

Both teams trail the frontrun-ning Sun (7-1) by two points inthe standings.

The loss dropped the Raidersto 3-5, as they occupy sole pos-session of fourth place in theleague.

TheWestshoreRebels sitfifth at 2-6followedby the stillwinless,0-8 ValleyHuskers.

InFernandez’smemory, theteams gath-ered togetherat centrefield after thegame, andtook a kneein a momentof respect.

Before that, the Rams domin-ated, leading 28-7 at halftimeand 35-14 after three quarters ofplay, before capping the rout offby outscoring the Raiders 18-0 inthe final quarter.

“It was one of the bettergames we’ve played in thesense of putting it all together,”Alamolhoda said. “All threephases [offence, defence andspecial teams], we put togetherfor 60 minutes.”

Rams quarterback JordanMcCarty completed 12 of 19passes for 245 yards, along withfour touchdown passes.

Daniel English caught three ofthose passes for 76 yards whilehauling in two touchdown tossesfrom McCarty.

Malcolm Williams made fivereceptions plus a major, whileNathan Lund also caught atouchdown pass.

Lund was also busy on theground, with a game high 11carries for 55 yards and twotouchdowns.

Jordan Traversy chipped inwith seven carries for 37 yards.

The Rams defence imposedits will by creating six turnoversincluding three interceptions,two fumble recoveries, and aturnover on downs.

The Rams were led by MarcusBrown who had a fumble recov-ery, an interception, and threesolo tackles.

Steven Martinez intercepted apass and returned it 19 yards for

a touchdown.English also

made an inter-ception on aRaiders fakepunt.

The Ramscollected foursacks on theday. AdamMarchettihad one andshared onewith BrockGowanlock,while LukeAndrewsand DylanRoper eachhad one.

Kicker SteveThomas also got into the act byrecovering a fumble.

Thomas successfully convertedall seven of the Rams’ touch-downs.

Alamolhoda couldn’tbe more proud of hisplayers.

“I felt everybody wascommitted to playing atthe highest level, andthat was probably dueto a lot of adversitythat they faced duringthe week,” Alamolhodasaid.

The Rams bench bossadded that his teamwas “committed tofocus. They wanted towin and sacrificed whatit took to get the win.I think the guys realizenow what it takes towin big games.”

The Langley Rivermen havehigh expectations this season,despite a tough start at theBauer BCHL Showcase.by Troy [email protected]

Their perfect 4-0 pre-seasonseason record has been renderedmoot after the Langley Rivermenstumbled at the Bauer BCHLShowcase at Chilliwack’s ProsperaCentre.

The Rivermen are 0-2 to startthe regular campaign after losing2-1 to the Victoria Grizzlies onSunday afternoon, and 4-2 tothe Salmon Arm Silverbacks onFriday.Victoria Grizzlies 2, Rivermen 1

The ’Men got off to a good startagainst the Grizzlies, as EvanAnderson scored his second ofthe season with one second left infirst period to give Langley a 1-0lead.

But that’s all the offence theycould muster, thanks to somestellar goaltending by Victoria’sMichael Stiliadis, who made 34saves in the win.

“It wasn’t what we wanted toget done this weekend,” Rivermenassociate head coach Jon Calvanosaid. “We would’ve liked to comehome with four points but we sawsome areas of improvement we

can strive for.”Like Friday’s 4-2 loss to Salmon

Arm, the Rivermen had plenty ofscoring chances and outshot theGrizzlies 35-28, but were unableto capitalize.

Langley was also 0-4 on thepower play.

“It wasn’t very potent,” saidCalvano. “We didn’t execute anyof our opportunities. We hadsome looks but our executionisn’t where we want it to be rightnow.”

Victoria, which was outplayedfor much of the game, tied thingsup in second period when PJConlon scored with under fourminutes left in the frame.

The Grizzlies scored the even-tual game winner, as ShawnMcBride finished off a one-timer,1:54 into the third period.

Despite losing key scorers fromlast season, the Rivermen arehoping to have a balanced attack,but so far, have struggled to findthe back of the net.

“It’s only two games in,” saidCalvano. “We have to minimizeour turnovers in the offense zoneand work with the defense onquicker transition with the puckinstead of making the high riskpasses.”

The ’Men split goaltending dut-ies. After Bo Didur took the lossagainst Salmon Arm on Friday,Darren Martin made 26 saves in alosing cause Sunday.

It was a win one, lose one stretchfor the Pacific Junior HockeyLeague’s Langley Knights.

On Thursday, the Knights playedtheir second home game at theGeorge Preston Recreation Centre inthe junior B team’sshort history, andcame away with asolid 4-1 win over theAbbotsford Pilots.

Carson Rose withconsecutive powerplay goals in the firstand second periodsand Jacob Fricks witha pair staked thehosts to a 4-0 lead.

At the 17:22 markof the final frame,Abbotsford’s BradyLawlor scored on apower play to ruin Knights goaltend-er Nickolas Trenciansky’s shutoutbid.

The Knights had a slight, 45-44edge in shots.

Two nights later, the Knightstravelled to the Harry Jerome RecCentre, where they were edged 4-3by the North Vancouver Wolf Pack.

The Wolf Pack’s Brodyn Nielsen

scored the winner, snapping a 3-3tie with 1:56 remaining in regulationtime.

Dylan McCann and Jackson Surbeygave Langley a 2-0 leadwith goals that cameunder a minute apartearly in the openingframe.

That seemed to sparkthe Wolf Pack, whotallied the final threegoals of the frame totake a 3-2 lead into theintermission.

At the 3:35 markof thesecondperiod,

Langley’s Levi DeWaal scored the lonegoal of the frame totie the game at 3-3.

There was no morescoring after that,until Nielsen’s gamewinner in the waningmoments of the con-test.

The Knights, whoown a respectable

2-2 record early in the PJHL season,are back in action Thursday, Sept.25, when they host the Port MoodyPanthers at the George PrestonRecreation Centre at 7:30 p.m.

…continued from page A18The Rivermen will have a full

week off before they head toVernon next Sunday to take on theVipers, who split their first twogames at the BCHL Showcase.

Salmon Arm Silverbacks 4,Rivermen 2

Salmon Arm’s Andrew Farny,Thomas Plese, Carson Bolduc,and Nick Hutchison scored for theSilverbacks, while Will Campionand Evan Anderson tallied goalsfor the Rivermen.

Both teams had 35 shots apiece.The Rivermen got into penalty

trouble early and their lack ofdiscipline seemed to cost thema chance at a victory, taking 12minor penalties in the loss.

Salmon Arm got things going asFarny scored on the power playto kick off the scoring. That wasfollowed up by Plese, who madeit 2-0 for the Silverbacks after 40minutes.

The Rivermen then cut the leadto one, as Campion scored a pointblank goal on Salmon Arm goalieAngus Redmond, making it 2-1.

The Silverbacks would counter,as Bolduc would score on the manadvantage making it 3-1 SalmonArm. Anderson scored late forLangley but that’s as close asthe Rivermen would come as theSilverbacks added an empty netgoal from Hutchison, securing thevictory.

Tough act to followThe Rivermen have set the

bar high, after winning the RonBoileau Memorial Trophy as theleague’s top point-producing teamduring the 2013/14 regular season.

The local juniors, however,fell short in the playoffs, losingto Coquitlam in the MainlandDivision Finals.

This year, the Rivermen arehoping to take the next step.

“We’re champing at the bit toget going here,” Rivermen headcoach and general manager BobbyHenderson said.

“It was a bit of a longer off-sea-son than we had hoped for, but italso gave us a good chance to getsome good recruits. We’re ready topeak and looking to get the seasongoing.”

“We were such a good teamlast year and we had so muchdepth up front,” said forward EvanAnderson, who’s entering his finalyear with the Rivermen. “We prideourselves in being the best team inthe Mainland Division and I thinkwe’re going to follow through withthat again this year.”

The Rivermen were busy in theoff-season, strengthening theirback end with the additions ofdefencemen Jacob Kearley, JordanSchneider, Dom Masellis, as wellas recently acquired Steven Duda.

“Last season the bulk of ourmuscle was up front,” Hendersonsaid. “I thought on the back endwe were a little small. We hadtons of ability but we ran intosome big bodies in the playoffs.That was one area we decided toget a little bigger. We have a littlebit different dynamic this year.We’re faster up front and more ofa balanced attack. We still planto be fairly aggressive, take awaytime and space, continue to defendhard, and try to limit our oppon-ent’s chances.”

One of the Rivermen’s newestblueliners is adjusting to the paceof the BCHL game.

“I think there’s a bit of a learn-ing curve for me, coming fromOntario,” Schneider said. “Thespeed’s a bit faster than whereI was playing before. It seemsthere’s more depth on the teams.Back home, every team had oneor two lines that they leaned on.Here, all four lines and all six

defensemen can play.”The Rivermen will begin the sea-

son with a young squad, including10 rookies in the lineup.

“So far, they all have reallystepped up and played big roles,”said second year forward, MarcusVela. “The rookies are actuallydoing really well and it looks likethey’re going to fit in nicely.”

“It’s really something whereyou look to the returning guys toset the tone and be that calminginfluence for the young guys,”Henderson added. “There’s no rea-son for us not to get up for games.It’s a great building to play in andour home record over the pastcouple season has shown it. Theguys take great pride in playinghere and appreciate it.”

With two solid netminders,Henderson is going with the dualgoaltending approach.

“We’ll take it game by game,” hesaid. “We like to share the work-load, but how we delegate thatwill vary. It’ll be based on rest,the upcoming schedule and othertimes it’ll be based on who’s gotthe hot hand. We don’t have a setplan in place. The more flexibilitywe allow ourselves, the better offwe’ll be.”

Includng the BCHL BauerShowcase, the Rivermen will playtheir first four games away fromthe Langley Events Centre.

“It’s a great vehicle for ourleague to showcase our players,”Henderson noted, prior to theshowcase. “I only wish it wasa couple games in, so the guyscould have a few games to squashthe nerves a bit but that’s part ofplaying in the league, you’ve gotto expect scouts to be watchingall the time. They’ll just have torise to the occasion and thrive onit. This much exposure for oneweekend of hockey is great for theleague.”

“The showcase is interestingbecause you look around and yousee guys with clipboards all aroundthe rink,” Anderson said. “It teach-es you to play under pressure andI think it’s a good test to see whatwe can accomplish early on.”

The Rivermen will start the sea-son with one main goal in mind.

“You talk to anybody on ourteam and the goal is to win theFred Page Cup,” Anderson said.

The Rivermen have announcedtheir alternate captains for the2014/15 season.

Joining captain Kevin Kilistoff,will be alternates Jacob Kearley,Hunter Anderson, Brendan Gulka,and Gage Torrel.

Gulka and Torrel will split timewearing the “A” on their jerseys.
