Eat your heart out, LowerMainland: Langley dining is asgood as it gets.

MATTHEW [email protected]

Judging by Fraser Health’s records, it’ssafer to eat in Langley than in most othernearby communities.

In 2014, three restaurant closures inLangley City and Township were orderedby Fraser Health, which inspects restau-rants for hygiene. However, only one ofthose closures appears to have been directlyrelated to hygiene.

One closure, of the Ashoka IndianRestaurant in Langley City, was due to

smoke damage after an arson fire at theback of the building, and was not related toany issues with the restaurant itself.

Another listed closure was that of theTown Hall Public House on 64th Avenue, aone-day shutdown on Dec. 3.

“We just had a pipe burst downstairs,”said James Bailey, office manager for theJoseph Richard Group of restaurants.

When the inspectors happened to arriveon the same day, “we’d already shut ourdoors,” Bailey said.

He said the issue required some cleanupand a pipe repair.

The Fraser Health website listed a num-ber of reasons for closure for Town HallPublic House on its website, including“Food is not protected from contamination”and “Food is not processed in a mannerthat makes it safe to eat.”

The Temple Restaurant in Aldergrove was

closed Dec. 17 and re-opened on Dec. 22.The Fraser Health report on Temple listed

“Food is not protected from contamination”and “Premises is not free of pests” as rea-sons for the closure.

The manager of Temple, Wing, said therewere no pest issues, and that Fraser Healthhad requested some clean-up and paintingbe done.

“Just a couple days, that’s it,” he said ofthe closure.

In general, Langley restaurants have faredwell in the last few years during healthinspections. There were no closures in 2013and one in 2014, according to Inderjeet Gill,Surrey area manager of health protection.

Overall there were 84 restaurant clos-ures in 2013, and 105 in 2014 in theFraser Health region, which stretches fromBurnaby east into the Fraser Valley.

FOOD SAFETY

Langley eateries kept relatively safe

A late afternoon crash onFriday inconvenienced rushhour motorists.

HEATHER [email protected]

Five people were sent to hospital to bechecked out, and a major Langley intersec-tion was tied up for several hours after acrash late Friday afternoon.

The call came in at about 4:50 p.m. onJan. 9 about a two cars crashing at the

intersection of Fraser Highway and theLangley Bypass near Willowbrook ShoppingCentre.

Four people were in one car and one per-son was in the another.

Langley City Fire Rescue chief RoryThompson said one female passenger hadto be cut out of a car.

The City fire department required a total

of 17 members and two engines to handlethe situation. Traffic in the region on theFriday evening was congested for a fewhours as the people were helped, and thecrash was investigated and cleaned up.

Fire officials reported that, while every-one involved was taken to hospital to bechecked out, there appeared to be no ser-ious injuries.

…continued from page A3“I’ve seen these num-

bers go up and down everyyear,” Gill said.

An inspector can order arestaurant closed either ifthere is a history of non-compliance with health andsafety issues, or if there isa concern that somethingcould cause an outbreak offood-borne illness, Gill said.

Compliance with healthcodes is, in general, verygood, Gill said.

Out of 3,000 inspections

last year, about 1.2 per centresulted in closures.

Langley seems to be doingbetter than neighbouringSurrey, which had 36 clos-ures in the past year. Whileseveral there were closeddue to fires, equipmentfailures, or flooding, therewere also 14 cited with pestproblems and one cited for“failure to ensure the foodwas obtained from approvedsources.”

EMERGENCY

Morning house firereveals drug siteThe police were called to a fire inMurrayville Saturday.HEATHER [email protected]

The RCMP’s clandestine lab specialists were called toa home in Langley after a Saturday fire revealed a sus-pected drug lab.

Early on Jan. 10, the Township Fire Department wascalled to a structure fire in the 22900 block of 40thAvenue and the Langley RCMP was called to assist.

There are at least two residences on the property andthe owners reside in the house at the back of the prop-erty, said Langley RCMP spokeperson Cpl. Holly Marks.The front house had recently been rented and tenantswere in the process of moving in.

“The fire was deemed suspicious and there was a con-cern there may be a clandestine lab on the third floor ofthe home,” she said.

For health reasons, it was not safe for anyone to enterthe residence immediately and the Clandestine Lab spe-cialists were asked to attend.

Clandestine Drug investigators advised they had locat-ed items within the residence indicating a productionlab of synthetic drugs. Later that day a hazardous goodsremoval company attended to deal with the remnants.

“No charges will be laid as police are unable to iden-tify the persons managing the lab operation,” Markssaid.

OUR VIEW

Crash…you know itcould be you

Sirens just don’t seem to mean asmuch to some people as they doto others.

There’s something about carsthat creates an insulating bar-

rier between drivers and the world aroundthem. Maybe it’s the increasingly plush,increasingly sound-proofed interiors, flushwith sound systems and comforting amen-ities, that make the insides of cars feel likea den, in which nothing can do the occu-pants harm.

Maybe it’s having total control of a tonof metal and plastic, the ability to make itgo and stop, speed and slow, and turn withjust a few movements of a few body parts.

Today’s computer-assisted vehicles canconvey a feeling of power, requiring hardlyany effort at all, lulling many people intobelieving they are better drivers than theyare (asked to rate themselves on a scale of1-10, most drivers rate themselves at 8 or9, and few rate themselves below 7).

Seat belts and airbags, proximity detec-tors and auto-parking add a sense ofinvincibility on roads and highways.

We don’t expect to crash.In fact, although we are all aware that

there are “bad drivers” on the road (neverus!), we don’t even expect that anyone willcrash into us. But crashes happen. Everyday. Every hour. Every minute.

We see lots of pictures of crashes inour newspapers. They’re not just there foryour (questionable) enjoyment – they’rethere because you’re supposed to realizehow horrible the results can be when youdon’t pay attention while driving. You canseriously damage your vehicle or someoneelse’s. You can hurt people (including your-self). You can even kill people.

You can even hurt or kill people with-out being involved in a crash.

Pay attention to the world around youwhen you’re driving. Make sure you canhear and see the emergency vehicles rush-ing to the aid of a victim of someone whowasn’t paying attention. The seconds ofdelay you cause to an ambulance or firetruck or police car can cost a life.

And consider that their next trip outcould be for you.

– B.G.

On December 31, the last day of2014, I got one of those ubiqui-tous government press releasesthat never cease to amaze me,

if only for their ubiquity.But this one was different.It amazed for its timing.And then, when I realized I had mis-

read it, it amazed… for its timing.It was an accounting of a year’s worth

of babies born in B.C., along with a list-ing of the most frequently used names totag all of those little freshlings.

I was immediately astounded by therapidity with which the governmentbureaucrats – whom I’ve become used totravelling at speeds that make the slugsin my garden look lightning fast – hadbeen able to put together their year’sworth of baby numbers and associatedname lists.

Then I noticed that their reference yearwas 2013.

Ah, well. I guess the missive is at leasttechnically correct when it refers to the“past year,” since on the afternoon ofDec. 31, 2014 was not actually all theway past.

Besides, that’s still pretty fast for youraverage Victoria communications deskjockey.

And it does make for interesting read-ing – which is also pretty astounding,considering the mounds of mind-numb-ing drivel that our politicians instruct

them to produce and dis-seminate most of the rest ofthe time.

So, prepare to be spell-bound, as I touch on thehighlights of baby birthsand names in the Provinceof British Columbia in 2013.

(I can hardly wait for the2014 installment on Dec.31, 2015.)

The government’s VitalStatistics Agency’s numbersshow that there are prob-ably more Olivia’s in B.C.than you can shake a stick at. Olivia was– for the second straight year, no less– the most-chosen name for girls born inthe province in 2013.

Not only did Olivia top the lists fortwo years in a row, but Olivia has madethe top spot in four of the past fiveyears.

As Spock would say: “Fascinating.”After Olivia comes a long line of

Emmas, followed by Sophia, then Emily.Rounding out the top five is Ava.

Meanwhile, in the realm of baby boys,the Liams and Ethans have apparentlybeen duking in out.

The government press release excitedlyrelates, “Liam reclaimed the numberone spot for baby boys, replacing Ethan,which was tops in 2012 after edging outLiam the previous year.”

Following Liam on thebaby boys’ list in 2013 B.C.are Mason, then Ethan(which apparently droppeda whole two positions sinceits 2012 hey day), followedby Lucas and Benjamin.

There were 43,925 babiesborn in B.C. in 2013.

Although usually girlsoutnumber boys by a slightmargin, in 2013 B.C., therewere 22,491 boys and21,434 girls born.

That’s a ratio that – mys-teriously – usually only occurs in a soci-ety ravaged by war or other young-man-destroying activities.

There was also attached to the pressrelease an actual sound clip of an excitedHealth Minister Terry Lake the ramifica-tions of people’s choices of the top babynames of 2013.

Be still, my pounding heart.I’ve included the link on this col-

umn at our website, click on Opinionand then on Odd Thoughts – if you’reinterested in listening to his fascinatingdrivel.

I’m sure you can also find help at thehealth ministry’s online registry of servi-ces if you found you were more fascin-ated by Minister Lake’s dissertation thanyou feel, in retrospect, you should havebeen.

Dear Editor,Your editorial [Bullies take religion to

extreme, Jan. 8 Langley Views, LangleyAdvance] was insightful and true.

But there is one view of extreme andviolent behaviour that is seldom explored,which you touched on correctly whenyou said that all organized religions stress“being good to each other.”

You went on to say, “How does that ever,in any sane mind, translate into suicidebombings and beheadings and murders?”

Exactly: “…in any sane mind…”Violence is an act of an insane mind.

Murder is an act of insanity.We can talk about bullying, radicaliza-

tion, religious fervor. We can even considerthe psychological, cultural, and economicclimates that murderers grew up in, to giveus explanations of such horrible behaviour,but the bottom line is they are guilty by vir-tue of insanity.

I am only one person, and I can only livemy own life, with as much sanity as pos-sible, and hope it’ll rub off.

My Merriam Webster dictionary defines“sane,” in part, as “able to anticipate andappraise the effect of one’s actions.”

Maybe toning down the ego some, andan awareness of the effect of my actions onothers is all that I can do to help our world.

Paula Lemke, Langley

Bully behaviour a sign of insanity

Dear Editor,I oppose the new allo-

cation policy reductionsfor resident hunters andincreases for guided alienhunters proposed by B.C.Minister Steve Thomson.

Guide-outfitters experi-enced a client decline of30 per cent, while resi-dent hunter numbers haveincreased. Why set a policythat takes wild, sustain-able food from our citizens’mouths? If this decline inGO business continues, willresidents stand to lose moreshare to alien hunters?

Younger guides, too eager

to get into the outfittingbusiness, over-paid previousowners for pieces of paperthat grant exclusive access.

With the 30 per centdecline on top of paying toohigh a price, some are indanger of going broke.

That’s business, and theyshould go broke.

I thought BC Liberalsbacked free enterprise. Iwas wrong. Instead, they’rechoosing to bail out thosewith poor business instincts.

I feel I have a fair sense ofscience-based managementpolicies. This is my 70thyear of hunting.

I began hunting inSeptember of 1944, justbefore my sixth birthday,when I shot a blue grousewith mother’s .22 pumpwhile Dad helped and Mom,Nana, and Grandpa lookedon. I was instructed howto dress and clean the bird.The memory is still vivid.

As the years progressed,I took on an active role inconservation work. Duringthe 35 years I taught highschool, I sponsored extra-curricular outdoor activitiesfor students, including bothfishing and hunting.

The Outdoor Club I spon-sored was one of the popu-lar clubs, the perfect vehiclefor Outdoor Education,which for a time includedCORE. Get our youth outon wilderness camping, hik-ing, canoeing, cross-countryskiing, fishing, and huntingtrips, and their values areset for their lives.

The new allocation pol-icy makes me worry aboutfuture harvests of wild fishand game by my grandchil-dren and all B.C. youth. Theminister is reducing oppor-tunities for them at a timewhen these opportunitiesneed to be increased.

Larri Woodrow, Langley

Hunting allocations wrong direction

Heritage trophy given awayDear Editor,

I was disappointed at the proposed changes made by theGuide Outfitters Association of B.C., in which the numbersof tags given to B.C. hunters would be drastically reducedin favour of non-resident clients.

As a B.C. resident hunter, I supply about 80 per cent ofthe meat for my family from my hunting, and I resent thatright being given over to trophy hunters from other partsof the world. Currently, 70,000 B.C. hunters are granted13,000 moose tags each year. Under the proposed changes,25 to 40 per cent of those tags would be given to non-resi-dent guide clients.

Most Canadian provinces and U.S. states limit foreignhunters to five to 10 per cent of the wild game allocation.

B.C.’s wildlife is “not for sale,” but is a heritage to beshared both by the people who live here.

Poppy success dueto community supportDear Editor,

On behalf of RoyalCanadian LegionBranch 21 Langley, Iwould like to thankeveryone who madethis year’s PoppyCampaign such a won-derful success.

Remembrance Daywas particularly dif-ficult for all of usthis year. The recentattacks on Canadiansoldiers, here in ourown country, werefresh in our mindsand made many of ussee things in a differ-ent light. Thousandsof people came outto pay their respectsduring Langley’sRemembrance Dayceremonies, and manypeople in the commun-ity showed an over-whelming spirit of giv-ing during our annualPoppy Campaign.

This year, the money raised by volunteers went above and beyondexpectation. Without all your help, this would not have been pos-sible. Every cent of this highly successful campaign will be goingback into the community to help veterans and their families, stu-dents, the elderly, youth, and people in need.

These include a dog services program, transition house, and BCITprogram, all of which help veterans adjust to civilian life. Donationswill also be made to the Air, Sea, and Army Cadets, as well as to theGeorge Derby and Brock Fahrni Veteran’s Facilities and the LangleyLodge.

To all of you who “remembered” – thank you.It is important to note that none of the money raised during the

Poppy Campaign is used to run the Legion. Instead, the day to dayfunctioning of the Legion is funded by memberships, and of course,new members are always welcome. You need not have served in themilitary or be related to someone who has to join.

I would like to thank our Poppy Campaign chair Donna Watson,the Langley Legion members and volunteers who collected dona-tions, the businesses who supported us, and everyone in Langleywho gave to support this worthy cause. Those who have served inthe military and those continue to serve deserve our respect, ourremembrance, and our support. It means so much to those whoreceive these funds, and the people of Langley never fail to opentheir hearts and give generously.

Langley Legion Branch 21 looks forward to continuing to supportour veterans and the community in the year to come.

For more information about the local branch of the RoyalCanadian Legion, call 604-534-3615 or visit facebook.com/LangleyLegionBranch21.

Community’s strong supportcontinues for the LangleyChristmas Bureau.


The Langley Christmas Bureau ended uphelping the same number of families this yearas last – about 800 – but the number of chil-dren helped grew to more than 1,700 (com-pared to about 1,650 last year).

“We have 160 new families that applied thisyear,” said bureau co-chair Leigh Castron.

Who uses the Langley Christmas Bureau?“A lot of working poor,” Castron said. “We

see a lot of that.”“[There are] a lot of single dads,” she said,

“and the majority are single moms.”The Langley Christmas Bureau is the only

bureau in the Lower Mainland that is entirelyvolunteer run. That has resulted in callersfrom as far as the North Shore all the way outto Chilliwack contacting the bureau to offerdonations. Castron said people are encouragedto support their local bureaus but some peoplesay they want to donate to Langley because itis all volunteer.

Castron said it’s the large group of volun-teers who return year after year that makes theoperation run smoothly.

“The dedication and consistency of ourvolunteers is just unreal,” she said. “And thecommunity – we just couldn’t do it withoutthe support.”

Children, adults, service clubs, arts groups,businesses and more support the bureau.

Castron noted that in addition to giving outgifts for families with children up to age 18,the bureau offers something unique.

The Langley Literacy Association providesbooks to the children.

“We’re the only Christmas bureau that hasthat,” Castron said.

The association has been providing booksfor several years and members attend ToyDepot Days when the gifts are picked up byparents. Association members work with theparents to choose books that would interesttheir children.

Other community supporters have beenCascades Casino which provides lunches forthe volunteers while the bureau is open andStarbucks. The coffee company provides bev-

erages and breakfast foods for the bureau forthe month and a half that it’s in operation dur-ing the holiday season. The head of Starbuckswestern Canada, the head of Starbucks in B.C.,and other senior management volunteered atToy Depot Days this year.

Another sign of support for the Christmasbureau is the sponsorship where people, busi-nesses or groups provide gifts and support fora specific family.

“We have more sponsors that ever,” Castronsaid.

This year 267 sponsors helped 479 families.“That’s a record for us,” she added.

Langley residentDesiree Wallacereflected on herexperience cycling2,000 kilometres tonorthern B.C. as partof the Cycle to theSacred Bike Tour.TROY [email protected]

For Langley’s DesireeWallace and NicoleKilistoff, and their travelling

partner Landon Yerex, a journeyto northern B.C. has given thema deeper insight on First Nationspeople in that area, and theirefforts to preserve sacred land.

In mid-July, Wallace, co-founder of Beyond Boarding,joined Yerex from Courtenayon a cycling trip from FortLangley to sacred headwaters,an area Wallace calls, “a vitalecosystem” between Iskut andDease Lake.

Kilistoff followed along in asupport vehicle, a Delica vanconverted to run on wastecookingoil.

In total,they biked2,000 kilo-metresto SacredHeadwaters.

Theirhope was,and con-tinues tobe, to bringto light theongoingefforts ofFirst Nationspeople to keepthe piece of landin northwestern B.C. pristine.

The goal of Beyond Boarding’sCycle to the Sacred Bike Touris to generate financial andsocial support for what Wallacedescribes as “a group of landdefenders,” the Klabona Keepers,at sacred headwaters.

Klabona Keepers is an organ-ization of Tahltan elders and

families who occupy and usetraditional lands near Iskut,known as Tl’ab ne, the SacredHeadwaters of the Stikine, Nass,and Skeena Rivers.

Wallacesaid shefirst learnedabout theKlabonaKeepers andtheir terri-tory whena few ofher clos-est friendsincludingYerex,TamoCampos,JohnMuirhead,

and Jasper SnowRosen travelled there last fallto document their battle withFortune Minerals, a companythat she says, “had been given apermit to proceed with explora-tion drilling for a proposed 4,000hectare open pit anthracite coalmine in the heart of SacredHeadwaters,” which, Wallaceadded, “would undoubtedlydecimate their traditional hunt-ing grounds and cultural centre.”

“We use and occupy that landevery summer. We take our kidsthere to teach them our culture,and that’s where we gather ourmoose meat for the winter,” saidRhoda Quock, spokesperson forthe Klabona Keepers.

At the time, Wallacedidn’t understandthe full significanceof what the term“unceded” meant.

“It transcended thevideography and stor-ies my friends cameback to share… itignited somethingwithin me, to takeaction, to learnmore,” Wallace said.

And so she,Yerex, andKilistoff made an

impromptu decision to go onan adventure on bicycles to seethese people and, Wallace said,“their incredible territory thissummer from Vancouver, raisingfunds for the grassroots group ofelders and families and sharingtheir story along the way.”

A dramatic scene unfolded onSept. 12, according to Wallace,who emailed the Langley Advancewith an update.

“We made it to our final des-tination and there is a lot goingon here,” she said, on behalf ofthe Klabona Keepers.

“Today, three police officers,two police snipers, and drilloperators surrounded a drill site

being occupied byunarmed, peace-ful Klabona keep-ers and BeyondBoarding membersfive kilometressouth of Iskut,”she wrote inthe email. “Thegroup occupied aBlack Hawk drill,hired by FiresteelResources Inc.,on September 8thbecause they had

already been told to leave theterritory twice this summer afterdrilling without consultation orconsent...”

RCMP senior media relationsofficer Sgt. Rob Vermeulennoted that, as with any protest,the RCMP is an impartial party,adding that there were four uni-formed members from DeaseLake detachment at the site.

“We attended the area onFriday, Sept. 12 to uphold the

law, maintain the public peace,and ensure safety for all par-ties, including the protesters,”Vermeulen said, noting that,“One of the [RCMP] memberscarried a rifle for bear protec-tion as they had to hike throughthe bush to get to the site, notunlike the protestors who hadtwo rifles and a crossbow. Therewere no issues, and no arrests.”

Following the incident, theCycle to the Sacred groupremained in the area in

support of the Klabona Keepers.“I must say it is the most

sacred of places I have and prob-ably will ever have the honourof being amidst and the KlabonaKeepers… exude that samepower and strength embeddedin the land and water,” Wallacesaid. “You really have no ideauntil you’re in the headwatersamidst the untouched Earth foras far as the eye can see andstill, further.”

Wallace said there is a feelingyou get when you look out at“what seems to be an everlastinghorizon on the coast’s oceanicbody.”

“Humbled. Connected.Empowered. Bewildered. MotherEarth is so vivid here,” sheadded. “Her heart beats strongand life-blood runs thick throughthe wind, rain, sun, soil, plantsand animals. It is host to themost valuable salmon-bearingwatersheds in this nation andcontinues to be put at risk, butnevertheless protected by thosemost deeply connected to it.”

Wallace described the areaas one of the largest intactecosystems in the world “andthat is attributed to the resili-ent voices and actions of theKlabona Keepers who have andwill continue to keep it the wayit is now, sacred.”

She said that, “growing up inan institutionalized educationsystem, I was blinded from thistruth – the real history of so-called British Columbia.”

Wallace added that she wasable to begin to understand col-onization not as great Europeanexploration and discovery, butfor what it was: “the genocideof indigenous people in the con-quest of resource extraction.”

The visiting TorontoRock scored 20 goalsagainst the VancouverStealth in a blowoutwin at the LEC onSaturday.

The Toronto Rock wreckedthe Langley-based VancouverStealth’s Saturday night houseparty.

In their National LacrosseLeague home opener against theRock, the Stealth had one goodquarter and three not-so-goodones, losing 20-11 to the visitorsfrom the Big Smoke.

The Stealth led 4-2 after thefirst quarter in front of 4,724fans at the Langley EventsCentre, but after that, it was allRock, who out-scored the hometeam 8-2 in the second quarterand 10-5 in the second half.

After opening their seasonwith an 18-14 road win overthe Calgary Roughnecks, theStealth fell short in their bid togo 2-0 to start their 2015 NLLcampaign.

Toronto’s Josh Sanderson hada game for the ages with fourgoals and 10 assists. His team-mate Rob Hellyer also had a bignight offensively with six goalsand four assists.

Rhys Duch ledthe Stealth withthree goals and twoassists. Tyler Digbyscored twice andadded three helpersfor the home team.

The Stealth cameout of the gates flying in frontof the raucous home crowd,jumping out to a 3-0 lead in thefirst six and a half minutes ofthe first quarter.

Ilija Gajic opened the scoring2:29 in when he beat Rock goal-tender Brandon Miller.

“We came out with a lot ofenergy,” Gajic said. “We startedfatiguing a bit in the secondperiod. You could see guys get-ting tired and making foolish

mistakes and as soon aswe started doing that, ateam like Toronto is goingto beat you.”

The start of the secondhalf was all Rock, whotallied the first five goalsof the third quarter beforethe Stealth stopped thestreak, scoring the lasttwo goals of the frame buttrailed 15-8 going into the

fourth stanzaDespite the

loss, Duchreached avery import-ant milestonein Stealthfranchise hist-

ory. In the first quarter,he assisted on a goal byDigby, which made himthe franchise’s all-timeleading scorer, scoring his531st point, surpassingGary Rosyski.

“It’s great to be the team’sall-time points leader but I wishthe end result was different,”Duch said.

Offence ruled the day, withthe teams combining for 31 total

goals and 99 shots.The Rock’s Miller made 33

saves to pick up the win whilethe Stealth’s Tyler Richards hada tough night for Vancouver,suffering his first loss of the sea-son despite making 31 saves.

“We have to follow our game

plan,” Gajic said. “Thegames are not going tocome easy. It’s a goodwake-up call and we haveto be better.”

The Stealth are back athome Saturday, Jan. 17when they welcome theBuffalo Bandits to the LEC.Faceoff is at 7 p.m.

Langley beatChilliwack twice in athree-games-in-three-nights weekend serieswith the rival Chiefs.

For the Langley Rivermen,two out of three, as in twowins in three games against theChilliwack Chiefs over the week-end, ain’t bad.

In fact, it’s pretty awesome.The Rivermen have overtaken

the Chiefs as the top team in theB.C. Hockey League’s MainlandDivision, by beating Chiliwacktwo out of three times in theteams’ three-games-in-three-daysweekend series.

It took 42 regular seasongames, but the ’Men (22-15-1-4)can finally say they’re on toptheir division after a convincing5-1 win over the Chiefs Sundayafternoon at the Langley EventsCentre (LEC).

A career game for MatthewGraham, who scored twice andadded two assists, and a two-goal effort from Zac Masson ledthe way for the Rivermen.

“The pucks were bouncingour way today,” Graham said,following the win. “It was a fungame to be a part of and it wasnice to see our line rewarded forour efforts.”

“I’m happy with the way we

played,” Rivermen head coachand general manager BobbyHenderson said. “We startedstrong, played a full 60 minutes,and beat a good Chilliwackteam.”

Langley led 3-0 after the firstperiod thanks to two goals byGraham and one by MarcusVela.

The teams traded goals in thesecond and Masson scored thelone goal of the third period inanother heated game betweenthese two rivals.

Tempers started to flareSaturday night including somecomments from the stands atChilliwack’s Prospera Centre.
