FALL - TASTIC FALL - TASTIC ROCHELLE BAKER [email protected]A soggy spring gave way to a glorious summer and golden fall and now Abbotsford farmers are reaping the reward. Local grower Mike Lepp said the great autumn weather is a welcome reprieve from a shaky start to the season in May and June. “It’s really nice. I’m not going to lie,” said Lepp. “The last four years, it’s been progressively worse in the spring, but this year we’re getting an unreal fall.” This September and August were the driest since 1945 when records were first kept, according to Environment Canada. In the two months com- bined, Abbotsford received 10.4 millimetres of rain and a plethora of sun. The prolonged wet and cold weather in May and June meant crops like corn and cucumbers didn’t get going until mid-June. And on the Lepp Farm, the planting season started so late that peas and beans were more or less a washout. “As far as I’m concerned, summer started on July 4,” said Lepp. But having a later fall season has helped bolster a diminished corn crop and led to a great harvest of pumpkins, gourds and squashes. “We’re even picking a lot of stuff, like squashes, earlier this year,” said Lepp. What’s more, the good weather has also been good for sales at the Lepp Farm Market. “Often by Labour Day, corn sales drop but because of the sunshine, they held up for longer.” see HARVEST, page A6 “That’s farming for you.

P atricia Evans has a way withher Grade 1 students, and theirparents – and really, everyone
at Margaret Stenersen Elementary,the Abbotsford school where sheteaches.
Now her winning ways have beenrecognized nation-ally with a certificateof achievement,bestowed on herthrough the PrimeMinister’s Awardsfor Teaching Excel-lence.
“She representsall the great thingsteachers contributeand how positivelythey can affect their students. Parentsare thrilled she’s being recognized,”said her principal, Anna Lisa Osterby-Batryn.
Appropriately, the news got out toparents and her colleagues at Mar-garet Stenersen on Friday (Oct. 5),which is also World Teacher Day.
A teacher for about 20 years, most
of them at Margaret Stenersen, Evansgoes far beyond her classroom dutiesto support her young charges, saidOsterby-Batryn.
Just one example: when one ofher young students was diagnosedwith cancer last year, Evans helpedout the family with practical and
emotional support,even driving to B.C.Children’s Hospitaland organizing afundraiser.
“And even thoughthe child isn’t in herclassroom anymore,she still supportsthe family. She didt h e s a m e t h i n g10 years ago, with
another child who was diagnosedwith cancer,” said Osterby-Batryn.
But Evans’ dedication and selfless-ness is also evident in her day-to-dayinteractions with each one of herstudents, she added.
“She encouraged all her Grade 1students to write [journals] throughthe summer. Every one of her 22 stu-
dents did that, and although they’veall gone on to other classrooms, theyall got together at the beginning ofthe year for a pizza party,” she said.
Evans got her start teaching in NewYork, with a specialty in autism andspecial education – she has eventaught her classes sign language,which made youngsters with specialneeds and even ESL kids feel morecomfortable and better able to com-municate with their peers.
In her award profile, her nomineesnote that “by listening to parentsand getting them more involved,Evans adapts her lessons to suit everylearner.”
At the end of each year, Evans holdsan award ceremony “that is one of theproudest moments in the lives of herstudents,” they wrote.
Evans ensures at least one parentor family member is there for eachchild as she recounts the events ofthe year.
It’s clear to everyone that everystory has been carefully thoughtthrough and parents are remindedof how their child has grown in a way
that is special and unique, said thenominees.
“Patti really works hard to bringout the best in each student. Shereally has dedicated her life to herstudents,” said Osterby-Batryn.
The Prime Minister’s Awards forTeaching Excellence are given yearlyto teachers who are recognized toinstill a love of learning in their stu-dents that will help them to excel intheir future endeavours.
Certificates of excellence are award-ed nationally to the 15 top-rankedteachers, with a cash prize of $5,000.
The next 50 top-ranked nomineeseach receive a certificate of achieve-ment, which carries a $1,000 cashprize. The financial awards go to therecipient’s school to be spent underthe recipient’s direction.
Evans definitely deserves her rec-ognition, said Osterby-Batryn.
“For us it’s a really big deal. Theparents are thrilled she’s being rec-ognized. To have one of our staff rec-ognized as an exceptional teacher,that has a very positive impact,”she said.

Mobbed by her fans, Margaret Stenersen Grade 1 teacher Patricia Evans earned national recognition for instilling the love of learning in her young students.
Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service struggledto extinguish flames that engulfed a
pile of hog fuel after it spontaneously com-busted at a farm on Thursday.
Fire crews were called out to 140 MountLehman Road to find a deep-seated fire inthe 10-metre high mound of bark chips andwood fibre just prior to 10 p.m.
The fire was difficult to douse and tookfirefighters close to five hours to get undercontrol, said assistant fire chief Dave Rivett
in a press release.As the blaze took place in a rural area with
no fire hydrants, fire crews had to use tankertrucks to shuttle water from a source nearthe Abbotsford International Airport.
Twenty firefighters, two fire engines andfour tanker trucks were called out to dealwith the blaze.
No one was injured and no buildings onthe property were damaged.

An Abbotsford man who was caught with hisbrother committing a break-in at a Surrey home
has been sentenced to 20 months in jail.Dane Dewey Dorozan pleaded guilty to one count
of break and enter to commit an indictable offencein May.
He was sentenced in B.C. provincial court in Sur-rey last Monday.
Dorozan, along with his older brother Darwin,was arrested on Aug. 15, 2011 when police stoppedthe brothers as they drove away from the breakand enter.
Officers had watched the offence take place.Police had been keeping an eye on Darwin
because he was a suspect in a series of plannedbreak-ins committed in Surrey and Langley betweenAugust 2010 and 2011.
Darwin would target nice neighbourhoods. Hecompiled a list of addresses and phone numbers,then checked out the houses he chose. Shortlybefore committing a break and enter, he wouldcall the house at least once to make sure no onewas home.
When breaking into a home, he went for itemsthat were easy to turn into drugs.
Darwin was sentenced in June to eight years inprison after pleading guilty to 12 charges of breakand enter. He initially faced 23 charges.
Dane Dorozan’s sentence will be followed by twoyears of probation.
Dorozan has a history of run-ins with the law.Most recently, in January, he was sentenced to 18months of probation and fined $1,000 after beingconvicted of possessing a controlled substance.

Audrey Neufeld of NeufeldFarms agreed the beautifulfall provided relief for grow-ers after the long wet spring.
“After we survived the rain,it’s been good. It’s been awe-some for the strawberriesand corn,” Neufeld said.
“We’re still picking ever-bearing strawberries untilfrost. The flavour is fantas-tic. There’s an abundanceout there.”
The other crops that ripenlater in the season are alsodoing well despite the lackof rain.
“You can always water[crops],” she said. “Pump-kins were great this year. Theyneed the sun to colour.”
Robert Butler of the B.C.Potato and Vegetable Grow-ers’ Association said farmersare working in fields dawn todusk to take advantage of theideal harvest conditions andget everything in before therain starts.
“They are anxious to gettheir crops in. Most aregoing from early morning tonight,” said Butler, addingthe potato crop seems to bea good one.
“They are also harvestingpumpkins a little early andit’s thanks to the weather.
“There’s been a lot moreirrigation this year obvious-ly, but with good weatherand good water you have alarger degree of control overyour crop.”
Lepp said farmers were“blessed” to have the fall turnout fine.
“I’m sure if everyone hadhad a great spring, it wouldhave been ideal,” he said.
“That’s farming for you.Farmers are hard to please,but it’s sure fun work.”

Service have decreased to histori-cally low levels, the board reports.
To slow a hot housing market inToronto, this summer federal FinanceMinister Jim Flaherty’s departmentreduced the amortization period from30 to 25 years, and dropped the upperlimit that Canadians can borrowagainst their home equity from 85 percent to 80 per cent. In 2011, govern-ment had already reduced the amor-tization rate from 35 to 30 years.
Under the new rules, mortgagesamortized longer than 25 years will nolonger qualify for government-backedmortgage insurance through CanadaMortgage and Housing Corporation,making it practically impossible to geta highly leveraged mortgage of morethan 25 years in Canada.
A shorter amortization periodmeans higher payments, but it willalso mean homeowners can build upequity in their homes faster.
Local sales in September were downby a quarter from last year.
In September, a total of 857 saleswere processed on the MLS, a decreaseof 26 per cent compared to 1,165 sales
in September 2011, and 20 per centfewer than in August.
“Our market was very stable up untilJuly and then within two months itchanged,” said Scott Olson, presidentof the FVREB.
Abbotsford has seen a 41 per centdrop in sales for single detached hous-es and a 46 per cent drop in apart-ment sales from September last year,while Mission’s detached house salesincreased slightly.
The drop in Fraser Valley sales isseen more in higher-end properties,said Olson. However, prices seem tobe relatively stable.
Over the last three months, pricesfor all three residential property typescombined have decreased by 0.4 percent, while year over year they’veincreased by 2.1 per cent.
For single family detached homes,the benchmark price increased bythree per cent in one year, goingfrom $533,400 in September 2011 to$549,500 last month.
For townhouses, the benchmarkprice in September was $300,500, adecrease of 1.7 per cent compared to
$305,700 during the same month lastyear. The benchmark price of apart-ments in Fraser Valley in Septemberwas $207,000, an increase of 4.1 percent compared to $198,800 in Sep-tember 2011.
Last month, the board receivedfour per cent fewer listings than itdid one year ago: 2,544 in Septem-ber 2012 compared to the 2,651 inSeptember 2011.
Still, the local market has a lot ofchoice for buyers.
The number of active listings fin-ished at 10,348 in September, two percent higher than the same month lastyear, yet on par with the number avail-able on the market in August.
Most homes are still selling withintwo months – it took four days longeron average to sell a detached homelast month compared to September2011 – 49 days compared to 45. Town-houses sold in an average of 57 days inSeptember compared to 52 last year.Last month, apartments took 69.5days on average to sell compared to 63days during September last year.

The Abbotsford/Mission Timesis a division of LMP PublicationLimited Partnership.We’re published Tuesdays andThursdays from 30887Peardonville Rd., Abbotsford, B.C.
Anyone who has played poker– even a friendly game – knows youdon’t show your opening hand and
then bluff with draw cards.As the Enbridge pipeline rift grows
between Alberta and British Columbia– with the provinces’ leaders fueling acri-mony rather than seeking middle ground– Premier Christy Clark needs to realizeshe played her environmental hand whenshe gave B.C.’s regulatory authority to thefederal government.
You can’t sit in full view of the table,pull some new cards out of your sleeve,and expect the other players to acceptthem as part of the original deck.
Despite giving up her province’s envi-ronmental review process, Clark keepstrying to bring that card back to the table.
Her only real environmental card is thepublic outrage in B.C. – and while thatcard has been effective in making PrimeMinister Stephen Harper back away fromthe table a bit, Alberta Premier AlisonRedford can easily counter with her ownprovince’s outrage against B.C.’s environ-mentalists.
And besides, that card is actually inpremier-in-waiting Adrian Dix’s hand.
If she wants to sway Redford and herAlbertans, Clark needs to come up withsome economic cards. For instance, thereis a growing demand within Alberta tohave the Athabasca tar sands at leastpartially refined within Alberta’s borders,so that any pipeline would carry value-added product, both in terms of priceand the intrinsic value of creating jobs forAlbertans.
For B.C., that would at least mean aslightly better environmental outlook, asa synthetic crude oil spill would be sig-nificantly less damaging than a mess ofbitumen.
Instead of bickering and back-biting,the premiers of two provinces that couldhave so much in common should bespreading oil on troubled waters . . . butonly in the figurative sense, please!

Children are the only peoplewho are really honest.
Try to feed a kid some brus-sels sprouts, or boiled cabbage,or cauliflower.
“Eat this.”“No!”“Why not?”“I don’t like it!”The cry of “I don’t like it” is
the most honest we’ll ever beabout food.
As far as I can tell, most of lifeis a steady, grinding process ofconvincing ourselves that welike something that tastes bad,itches, pinches, annoys us, or isjust plain boring.
But we’ll leave aside tobacco,neckties, high-heeled shoes,office jobs and watching politi-cal debates. Let’s look at this justthrough the lens of gastronomy.
When we’re young, things aresimple. Black and white. Goodguys and bad guys. Fun stuffand boring stuff. Delicious foods(Kraft dinner! Hotdogs! Cake!)and horrible foods (green thingsgrown in demon-haunted farmsin the lower depths of hell).
Scientifically, kids are entirelyright.
A lot of the foods we eat dotaste bad – you’re not imagin-ing the slightly bitter taste orawkward texture of many veg-etables. See, our ancestors werefruit-and leaf-eating apes. Fruitswant to be eaten: fruit-bearingtrees use animals as mobile seedplanters/fertilizer dispensers, sothey pack in sugar.
But vegetables are different.
Those are basically soft, fast-growing shrubs. They don’t wantto be eaten.
They resist it by producing avariety of substances that makethem unappetizing. Bitter orburning hot, if not downrighttoxic.
We’ve bred out some of thebitterness, but it lingers in allthose leafy greens that have somany vitamins.
Our parents made sure weate enough veggies. They didthis because they loved us andwanted us to thrive. Or becausehaving the only kid on the blockwith pellagra and beriberi isembarrassing.
So with every grudgingly swal-lowed spoonful, they told us,“You’ll learn to like it.”
You can learn to like anything.From green vegetables, we learnto like – or at least tolerate – alot of other things.
Think about the first time youhad a sip of beer, wine, or cof-fee. You were probably a kid,and you probably didn’t like itmuch.
Again, you’re not wrong. Cof-fee and tea smell wonderful, butthey’re very bitter.
Alcohol is the most widelyavailable poison in the world.
We continue to consumethese things because they pro-vide ready hits of wake-up juiceand comfortable numbness.
Alcohol is particularly usefulbecause, before refrigerationand indoor plumbing, it keptus from getting really disgust-ing diseases like dysentery andcholera.
People didn’t drink beerbecause they preferred it towater, they drank it becausewater was contaminated sludgethat would rapidly cause every-thing inside your alimentarytract to be outside of it. This wasoften fatal.
But booze and caffeine havewormed their way into our cul-ture, and we now pretend/learnto like them, to savour theirsubtle differences – althoughstudies show that few can tellthe difference between cheapplonk and the finest vintages inblind taste tests.
Maybe we do have refinedpalates as adults, maybe wereally are appreciating thingschildren can’t. I know I swillplenty of tea and eat broccoliwith gusto.
But sometimes, I get the feel-ing that I’ve just brainwashedmyself.
To hell with brussels sprouts,give me cake!

THE TIMES TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2012 ❘ LETTERS ❘ A9
Editor, the Times:This concerns an accident
that occurred near noon onFriday, Sept. 28 eastboundalong Maclure Road justafter the Trethewey Streetjunction, near Rotary Sta-dium.
As I made a slow leftturn onto Maclure fromTrethewey I saw an unat-tended and unleashedbrown boxer boundingalong the sidewalk to myright. It was going in theopposite direction of thetraffic. The dog would havebeen totally safe if it hadremained on the sidewalk,but it suddenly made asharp right turn and dashedinto the oncoming traffic infront of me.
I stepped on the brakes,but it was too late and thecollision was inevitable.
How hurt the poor crea-ture was, I do not exactlyknow, because it happenedso fast. I quickly pulledaside, stopped and activatedmy hazard signal. The nextthing I saw was the dogheaded westbound, stillrunning, albeit with a hob-ble, along the road divider.
At the same time, another
car pulled up next to mine.Out stepped a very helpful
Good Samaritan, a younglady who immediately wentafter the dog, grabbed it inher arms and brought it toher car. She volunteered totake the dog to a vet and Itold her that I would like tofollow in my car, but then apolice car happened by.
After a brief word with theyoung lady, the constablerecorded my account of theaccident while the younglady drove off with theinjured dog. In the confu-sion, I overlooked askingwhich vet they were headedto. There was no significantdamage to my vehicle, but Iam very grateful to the peo-ple I encountered in con-nection with the accident.
I wish to be in touch withthe young lady Samaritanto enquire abut the dog andwhat happened after theyleft the accident scene, andto thank her for her kind-ness.
Perhaps she could contactme though this newspaperor the Abbotsford PoliceDepartment.

No second comingfor John Cummins
Editor, the Times:It is unfortunate that
Times letter writer GerdaPeachey does not know B.C.Conservative Party LeaderJohn Cummins, because
if she did, she would cer-tainly gain a new perspec-tive of him that would bemuch more in line withthe insights that my goodfriend (Abbotsford SouthMLA) John van Dongenhas gained. Mr. Cumminsrepresents the two per centlunatic fringe of B.C. poli-
tics and the very benignlyignorant, if not stupidlyignorant, voters who haveno idea whatsoever of Mr.Cummins’ political ideologyand its ramifications for thisprovince. People who takea stand on the side of God,truth, justice and righteous-ness need to re-examinetheir knowledge and under-standing of society andpolitics and need to ‘bogartthat joint.’
The ‘new’ Conservativeswould do so much dam-age to the B.C. economy,let alone set relations with
First Nations back so farthat cave men would belooked upon as progressivethinkers. I would say to Ms.Peachey, “There ain’t noth-ing on the right (side) of theroad except a ditch full of_______” that needs drain-ing. With Cummins and theConservatives seeking elec-tion, more B.C. Liberal sup-porters will turn to the NDPand Adrian Dix.
At least that is not “jump-ing from the frying pan intothe fire.”

Cool and sunny days in October areperfect for settling the garden down for
winter – at the same time it’s often possibleto prepare for spring as well.
In the vegetable garden, October is perfecttiming for planting garlic and also shallots.Both are supremely hardy and withstandthe worst our winters can throw at them.
Winter mulching is useful with parsnipsand leeks because it makes digging easierduring winter freezes – but mulching isn’tthe greatest idea with shallots.
That’s because slugs lay eggs under nice,warm winter mulch then hatch in spring tofind a banquet of tasty shallot sprouts allaround them. Slugs avoid garlic – but theylove eating shallot leaves.
This is the last call to harvest any remain-ing tomatoes. Green tomatoes ripen on win-dowsills where they get dealt with quicklybecause they’re in plain view. It’s also possi-ble to cut tomato plants at ground level andhang them in a carport, shed or basementwhere they can be picked as they redden.
If you have ended up with a few ined-ible green potatoes, you can save them toplant next spring. An alternative is to popthem back in the garden in fall where manysurvive the winter and produce an extraharvest. It’s best to scatter plantings becausevoles and other pests love eating their wayunderneath a straight line of edibles.
Fall cleanup always brings masses ofleaves, overage annuals and vegetable leav-ings. Most are perfect for composting. It’sbest to create alternate layers of green mate-rial and dried material such as leaves.
Being careful what you put in compostsaves much grief later. Invasive plants suchas couch grass, white morning glory, horse-tail and mint should be sent to commercial
composting where higher heats neutralizetheir troublesome aspects but retain theirfood value. The same is true of seeded weeds.
Once leaves have fallen and stems arebare, it becomes easy to prune black cur-rents, gooseberries and cut out any fruitedand weak canes of June-bearing raspberries.Fall-fruiting raspberries, like Tulameen canbe cut to the ground.
Once deciduous shrubs drop their leaves,it’s useful to check whether suckers areerupting from the rootstock. Suckering canhappen with most grafted trees and shrubsbut witch-hazel and contorted hazel needwatching more than most because it’s sotempting to remove a few branches for win-ter decoration indoors.
Unfortunately this stimulates the root-stock to produce some disappointing-look-ing suckers All contorted hazel suckers arestraight. Witch-hazel suckers produce verysmall yellow fall flowers almost hidden byyellow leaves. Suckers should be pulled off(you may need pliers to get a good grip) sothat the dormant buds which produce themare removed.
In the flower garden, October is the timeto lift and store begonias, dahlias, fuchsiasand geraniums. It’s not too late to grow onfuchsia and geranium cuttings.
Once fall rains begin, it’s also the besttime to take hardwood cuttings. These caninclude black currants, red currants, for-sythia, buddleia, roses and some viburnumsincluding the lovely winter-flowering Vibur-num bodnantense.
Just select a branch a foot or so long,remove any leaves that will be covered andthrust the branch into the soil. Rooting hor-mone is optional. Nature usually does thewatering for you.

Live Green
Are you trying to live a healthier life-style? Are you trying to make healthy
living choices for you and your family?Are you eating a balanced diet? Are yougetting enough exercise?
Even with our increased awarenessof healthier living, it can be difficult toalways make the best and most efficientchoices.
But what about your home? Why not buyor build a home that takes your family’shealth and comfort into consideration?Or why not renovate your current hometo do the same?
With the R-2000 and Energy Star for NewHomes initiatives, you can work with yourbuilder to incorporate energy efficiencyupgrades into your home before it’s built,to ensure that the upgrades you choosereflect your family’s lifestyle.
The R-2000 Standard and the EnergyStar for New Homes are Natural ResourcesCanada’s Office of Energy Efficiency ini-tiatives for new home construction. Byintegrating energy efficient upgrades atthe design stage, you can decide whichmeasures to take that will best suit yourfamily.
For example:■ energy efficient windows to keep heat in
and prevent condensation;
■ extra insulation and tight construction tominimize winter drafts and cold spots;
■ a mechanical ventilation system to helpmake your house fresh and comfortable allyear round.
The use of healthier building materialsduring the construction of your home, suchas non-solvent adhesives, low VOC paintsand formaldehyde-free cabinetry provide ahealthier environment as fewer chemicalsare released into the air.
And when you choose to buy a new energyefficient home that meets the R-2000 stan-dard, you often have even more choiceswhen it comes to features that can improvethe health and comfort of your family.
Or if you are instead thinking of renovat-ing your home, an EnerGuide evaluationcan help you implement improvements toaddress similar concerns.
Having a certified energy advisor under-take an EnerGuide evaluation provides youwith a current rating, an assessment of yourhome’s energy efficiency potential, and aprioritized list of recommended upgradesthat will not only save energy, but provide amore comfortable home.
It may also qualify you to participate inlocal incentive programs. EnerGuide Evalu-ations: the first step in smart home renova-tion.

Abbotsford’s Boseko Lokombo isdoing his part to keep his OregonDucks unbeaten in their first fiveoutings this fall.
The No. 2 nationally ranked Ducks of thePAC-12 conference pummeled WashingtonState 51-26 on Sept. 29, and before that hadshut out Arizona, 49-0 and earlier took downTennessee Tech, Fresno State and Arkansas.
Lokombo, 21, is not only a starting line-backer for the Ducks, he’s also captain ofthe team.
“I feel pretty good, I’m a veteran, I’m upthere now,” he said from his Abbotsfordhome before the start of the fall season. “I’mdefinitely able to help the team and lead theteam . . . and help guys coming in.”
Lokombo, a graduate of W.J. Mouat Sec-ondary, is now a senior at the University
of Oregon, butp l a y i n g a s athird year out-side linebacker( a f t e r b e i n gredshirted as afreshman).
Mouat headcoach DenisKelly had highpraise for hisprotégé.
“He’ll proba-bly end up get-ting drafted ina year or two.He’s just done
phenomenally well, he’s a great team player,”said Kelly.
“He’s a really consistent individual plus[with] his tremendous athletic ability, they’recounting on him to do big things this fall.”
The Oregon defence is the beneficiary ofLokombo’s athletic ability. In the offseasonduring conditioning drills, Lokombo led alllinebackers in the electronic 20-yard and 40-yard dash at 2.84 seconds and 4.84 seconds,respectively.
He’s also extremely strong, lifting 330pounds in the power clean.
That speed led to two interceptions lastyear – both returned for touchdowns, oneof those a 67-yard return against the NevadaWolfpack.
Lokombo is confident in his linebackerposition.
“I think the coaches saw the most potential[in me] on the defensive side. My positioncoach saw that I could excel best as outsidelinebacker because of my athleticism and myinstincts,” he said.
“As a defender, when you make a play,you get even more exposure. It’s muchharder. When you make the play on defenceit’s you who made the play. It’s your hard
work, your playmaking ability. On offence,people are blocking for you, making sureyou get the ball.”
Lokombo isn’t ruling out another trip to theRose Bowl this New Year’s Day and is evenlooking beyond that to the NFL.
“Once the scouts see that I’m starting, play-ing games, and that I’m healthy, that’s whenmy name will be more exposed,” he said.
“The NFL is lookin’ good; I just don’t thinkabout it much because it’s like the next step.But I do think about it. I’m very excited. It’sbeen a dream of mine, every since I startedplaying [in Grade 8 at Chief Dan GeorgeMiddle School in Abbotsford].”
For now, he’s just playing a lot of highcalibre football and focusing on his studies,specifically electronic media with a journal-ism major.
“I like editing, working with cameras. Icould see myself making highlights, like dur-ing halftime for a Super Bowl or something.”
Lokombo says he and his family don’t talkabout the NFL that much.
“I want to get my degree first. If I have apretty good year this year, we’ll see whathappens.”
The NFL draft is slated for April 22, 2013.

Sporting a 2012 Rose Bowl cap and jersey, Abbotsford’s Boseko Lokombo is a starting linebacker and team captain for the U.S. PAC-12 Oregon Ducksfootball team, and he’s hoping his team will repeat as Rose Bowl champs this year. Could the National Football League come calling next spring?
“Once the scouts seethat I’m starting, play-ing games and that I’mhealthy, that’s whenmy name will be moreexposed . . . the NFL islookin’ good . . . I dothink about it.”
