when he realized that he could not land there safely. He set down in Douglas Park, which is surrounded on three sides by apartment buildings. On Aug. 6, the pilot landed in a field just east of Newlands Golf and Country Club, narrowly missing power lines and a utility pole. There were no injuries in either case, but airport manager George Miller fielded a number of calls from

Two hot air balloons that made unscheduled landings after flying too low over residential areas have left many Langley residents jittery. Both were Sundance Balloons, navigated by the same pilot. In the first incident, which occurred on July 29, the pilot was aiming for Langley Regional Airport

residents who had been alarmed at the low altitude of the balloons as they made their unscheduled landings. Miller is responsible for airport operations at Langley. Miller said that when he learned of residents’ complaints that the pilot was drifting too low over Brookswood on Aug. 6, he wanted to know why, and called the pilot for a meeting.

After they met, Miller allowed the pilot to go ahead with a flight on Aug. 7. The pilot assured him that he would take every measure not to fly below 500 feet over Langley City and would plan on bypassing the City to every extent possible, Miller said.

Langley RCMP are warning the public about two separate incidents where people were impersonating police officers on Friday afternoon in Walnut Grove. Police were called on Sunday about the situations that took place around 1 p.m. at the Walnut Grove skate park in the 8800 block of Walnut Grove Drive. A tall, stocky African American man in a grey van approached a group of kids at the park and told them he was associated with police, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. A short time later, a man and woman in their 20s, wearing trench coats, spoke to the same youths about a missing girl and identified themselves as police officers from the Langley RCMP. The two posing as police officers left in a newer Honda Civic that had two different overlapping licence plates. “Langley RCMP did not have any plainclothes officers in the area at that time looking for a missing girl,” said Marks. Police did issue an alert the day before about a missing 15-year-old Walnut Grove girl. She was found and police posted that update on their website on Friday. “The vehicle described does not belong to the Langley RCMP fleet,” she also remarked. Marks said it isn’t known if the two incidents are related in any way. “It is possible the two events occurring at the same location are purely coincidence,” she said. Every citizen has the right to contact their local detachment to confirm the identity of an individual representing themselves as a police officer. “No police officer from Langley Detachment would ever take issue with a member of the public wanting to confirm [police] identification during the course of an investigation,” said Supt. Derek Cooke, the officer in charge of the Langley detachment.

Anderson adds voice to shark fin debate

Cigarette ignites fire

SNOWBIRDS SHINE

NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

A cigarette that was stubbed out in a balcony flower planter smouldered before igniting shortly before dawn on Thursday (Aug. 9). The planter was on the third floor balcony of an older apartment building in the 5300 block of 207 St. Langley City fire chief Rory Thompson said that the growing medium, either peat moss or potting soil, would have allowed the cigarette to smoulder for three or four hours before it ignited the material. The fire, which was discovered at 4:15 a.m., caused $5,000 damage, and was confined to the balcony area. No one was injured. Eighteen firefighters responded to the fire which triggered the building’s smoke alarms. This is the third fire involving improperly discarded cigarettes to which City firefighters have responded this year, Thompson said. “Use a proper ashtray,” Thompson urged smokers.

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Famed BayWatch actress and B.C. native Pamela Anderson is weighing in on a motion put forward by Langley City councillor Rosemary Wallace to ban shark fin products. She is urging both Langley and Richmond to join Toronto in banning shark fin products. Anderson told Toronto media last week that she is pleased Toronto will ban shark fin soup from appearing on restaurant menus, starting Sept. 1. She had heard that Richmond and Langley City were contemplating the same ban and oped they would follow suit. She called the practice “disgusting.” She told the media that eating that soup is “indefensible.” In June, Wallace told council that it may not be a common practice to serve shark fin soup in Langley, but the cruelty that goes into it warrants a ban anyways. She said she had heard of one restaurant that had served up the Chinese delicacy. The soup is a very common dish served at Chinese weddings and is connected with showing a certain amount of prestige. Wallace said up to 73 million sharks have their fins cut off and then thrown back into the ocean to die each year. There is a ban in Port Moody and many other cities are contemplating a ban. Langley City staff are expected to bring back a report to council for them to consider.

Much more needed in overpass fund NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Every new development built in Murrayville contributes to a fund that will be used to build an overpass that pedestrians can use to avoid Fraser Highway traffic. The latest boost to the fund is by Platinum Enterprises, which has applied to rezone 2.7 acres at 22333 and 22357 Fraser Hwy., immediately east of the new Sunridge retirement home. Platinum becomes the first single family development on the north side of Fraser Highway to pay the increased fee which

rose to $332 per unit, up from $250, in July, 2011. ParkLane Homes’ Winchester townhouse development became the first development on the south side to pay the levy. Until then, it had been applied only to new construction on the north side of Fraser Highway. Platinum’s contribution raises the overpass account to approximately $160,000, well shy of the amount required to build an overpass. Last summer, council heard that the cost would be between $2.5 million and $3 million, excluding land acquisition.

That should not be an issue if the municipality retains ownership of land at 221 Street where Township Hall was situated until 2005. By contrast, the Cole-Harmony pedestrian overpass, in the 6800 block of 200 Street, cost $1.7 million. Commercial buildings, such as Tim Hortons currently being built at 22525 Fraser Hwy., also pay a levy based on a rate of $4.15 per square metre of gross floor space. Third reading of the bylaws for Platinum’s development, which is for 20 single family houses, was approved on July 9.

Balloons, which cruise at an altitude of between 700 and 1,000 feet, must avoid conventional air traffic that uses the airport. There was no negligence by the pilot in either the July 29 or Aug. 6 incident, Miller said, adding that the pilot “took measures to safely land the balloons.” He said that residents can become unduly alarmed because they misjudge the distance between the ground and the balloon, or the balloon and static structures such as buildings, trees and power poles. It is five years since a hot air balloon tragedy in South Surrey killed a Langley woman, Shannon Knackstedt, 49, and her 21-year-old daughter, Jemma. They were among 12 passengers about to take off from a field near Hazelmere trailer park on 8 Avenue on a Fantasy Balloon

In May, school board chair Wendy Johnson and Education Minister George Abbott signed an agreement for a new elementary school.

$12.6-million elementary in South East Yorkson and the new $12.8 million Lynn Fripps Elementary is scheduled to welcome students on the first day of school. The location of the new elementary school will be at 209 Street and 77 Avenue. The middle school will built on 84 Avenue, west of 208 Street. The Langley school district is one of the few districts in the province where K-7 student enrolment is growing. In 2011-12, 10,930 elementary school students were enrolled in the district.

Neighbourhood Learning Centre (NLC) that will deliver a range of community services to area residents, said the Ministry of Education. It is expected to open in September 2014. Close to 150 jobs will be created during construction. The school will be built to a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold standard to minimize environmental impact while increasing energy efficiency. Currently, two school projects are underway in Langley. Construction will start shortly on the new

The cougars, bears and coyotes have comfortably settled into their new homes at the Greater Vancouver Zoo’s North American species section. Zoo spokesperson Jody Henderson says the area reserved for the indigenous species has been completely revamped over the past six months, and the transitions for the animals has gone smoothly. A pair of cougars previously housed in the large cat section have been moved into their

own compound of about 18,000 square feet, while a pair of coyotes now share the black bear compound, which measures 32,400 square feet. There are five bears but three of them are kept off-site. Shadow, the grizzly bear, who was rescued from a Williams Lake garbage dump in 1999, retains her existing space but it has been upgraded and cleaned up. The diesel bus which used to transport zoo visitors in the North American section has been decommissioned, for environmental reasons. It is now

a natural but safe walk through the section, thanks to fencing and road changes over the past year that have also reduced the need for vehicles on walkways. Sweetie, the Siberian tiger, has been joined by the two new Siberian cats from Korea, but they have separate spaces at the cat compound. In other zoo news, Henderson says the building permits for the 5,400 square foot, 23-room animal care centre and new lemur house have been issued and the zoo is meeting with contractors about the expansion project.

WALNUT GROVE

Rabbits running wild NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Some residential areas of Langley are slowly being overrun by rabbits, but a wildlife advocate is calling on residents to resist using inhumane means to control them. “Lethal means to eliminate wild rabbits are only quick fixes because they do not address the underlying cause of the problem which is the attraction factor in terms of food sources (foliage, flowers, and grasses) and shelter (bush piles, thickets),” said Dr. Patricia Tallman. “As well, the poisons people may use invariably manifest in slow agonizing deaths of up to three days which is extremely cruel.” A more long-term humane option is to consider non-lethal control measures, she suggested. Among them, erecting an exclusion fence with one-inch wire mesh buried one foot below ground and rising two to three feet above. However, Tallman suggested, it

are rabbit-resistant is another measure. While individual rabbits have different tastes, the following in general are not well-liked: allium, anise, hyssop, astilbe, bee balm, daffodil, daylily, iris, lamb’s ears, lavender, peony, salvia, yarrow, oregano, thyme, mints, rosemary, sage, salal, germander, snapdragon, borage, calendula, lobelia, lupine, stock, marigold, heather, honeysuckle, columbine, butterfly weed, daisy, bellflower, black-eyed Susan, hardy geranium, euphorbia, bleeding heart, flax, lungwort, sedum and trillium. As well, removing brush and rock piles, shrubs and thickets will reduce shelter provision for the rabbits. “Most importantly, we must educate people that these creatures are not pests because they pose an inconvenience.” Tallman said. Using lethal methods to address human-wildlife conflicts is cruel and short-sighted, she said, adding that poisons used in suburban settings pose a significant public safety health hazard not only to children, but also to domestic pets and other unintended wildlife. “Human lethal intervention is usually the least effective as it upsets the natural balance of nature.“

might be more viable to simply protect specific plants and small areas rather than the entire yard. Place empty soda bottles or milk cartons (with bottoms cut out) over seedlings for protection, or buy plant guards. Protect trees with commercial tree tape or surround the base with wire mesh in a cylindrical fashion with a circumference large enough so that rabbits cannot lean up against the wire mesh and nibble on the plants. For cases where it may not be cost effective to put up fencing, consider scare devices such as Mylar tape above locations of potential damage, or pinwheels at ground level. For more than a year, Tallman has been lobbying the Township to create wildlife corridors and to retain sufficient relief habitats so that animals displaced by development are not killed by vehicles as they search for new habitat. Tallman said that non-toxic repellent sprays can made by blending hot peppers in a blender, then adding water to create a liquid. Next, add one to two tablespoons of vegetable oil, with one to two drops of dishwashing liquid. Another safe non-toxic repellent is pureed garlic and water. Also, planting plants that

Problem is escalating

Celebration of the human spirit

etter writer Teresa Townsley contacted The Times by e-mail and Facebook last week, in regards to ongoing traffic issues on 16 Avenue — the scene of at least two serious crashes last week. As her letter was prepared for publication on Monday, word came in of another crash on 16 Avenue near 216 Street, involving multiple vehicles. Details were unavailable from Langley RCMP at press time. It is obvious that there are serious and ongoing problems along 16 Avenue. These problems were exacerbated by a foolish Township decision some years ago to put speed bumps on 0 Avenue. All this did was force even more vehicles onto 16 Avenue, and increase the likelihood of crashes and road closures. In a regional context, 16 Avenue is not recognized for what it has become — the major route between many parts of Abbotsford (including the Abbotsford Airport) and South Langley, South Surrey, White Rock, Highway 99 and the U.S. border. Thus it shouldn’t be left solely to Langley Township to deal with all the challenges the road presents. But in effect that has happened. While the Township has made some improvements, notably installing flashing lights at all major intersections, there is much more to do. One of the problems is truck drivers. Too many of the crashes involve large trucks — often gravel trucks. While the vast majority of truck drivers are responsible drivers, a significant number are not. They go far too fast along the street and their actions have led to several serious crashes, including a fatal one in January, 2011. The speed limit is also a problem. Almost no one drives at 60 kilometres per hour along what is, at least in part, an arterial highway. The speed limit should be raised to at least 70 km/h. While enforcement of the speed limit takes place on occasion, it is usually futile, as gravel truck operators radio each other and very few vehicles then speed. The intersection of 248 Street and 16 Avenue needs serious attention. The four-way stop, while helpful to residents living north and south of 16 Avenue, brings the flow of traffic to a stop and sheer volume means there are lengthy lineups every work day. A light or a traffic circle, along with improved sightlines, are needed there. It is past due time that the road is recognized as an arterial and necessary improvements are made. Citizens need to make this clear to the Township, TransLink and Victoria.

n a world where there is often precious little to celebrate, where citizens must die for democracy, people are gunned down in a movie theatre and countless other acts leave us saddened, disheartened or just plain cynical, every two years a spectacle takes place that breathes life back into the human spirit. The Olympic Games are a two-week celebration of youth, goodwill and ultimate effort. A glimpse, perhaps, into the lighter side, the better side, of the human condition. The Olympics are a spectacle where failure doesn’t result in civil war or poverty, but only an acknowledgement that more work is required. To lose leaves little consequence; we simply move on to the next event and hope. Nanoose Bay’s Mike Mason’s high jump effort came up just short of the bronze medal. Simon Whitfield’s crash in triathlon and the women’s loss in soccer to the U.S. left us disappointed. But to win leaves us punching the air in celebration, with lumps in our throat as our national anthem plays. We see the joy and understanding in the athlete at the top of the podium, having carried an entire nation’s hopes on their shoulders and succeeded. To have so much sacrifice pay off. That is what we celebrate. And while every Olympics has its shortfalls, corporate sponsorships and huge investment in venues, the price is worth it. For two weeks, the world converges in one place without politics, religion or greed. For two weeks, we get a glimpse of a world without borders. As the 2012 London Olympics have drawn to a close, and as the Olympic Flame is once again extinguished, we can look back and pocket the moments of inspiration, learn from the failures and embrace the human race. —Nanaimo News Bulletin (Black Press) The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Selling green space doesn’t work Editor: I have read with interest all the commentary about the subject of selling off Township assets, and re-allocating the funds for other purposes unrelated to the original assets. I am of the opinion that the public assets that are defined as green forest areas within the Township of Langley should be managed in a way that one asset may be forfeited for profit. However, the asset value should then be re-allocated into similar assets, to preserve and improve other existing assets within the same category. It is not prudent to steal from one area in

order to pay for different assets, thus losing the forested area from that asset base entirely. The proceeds should be directed back into those areas that require improvements for the public good, which will enhance the other assets and make them more serviceable for the enjoyment and use of future generations. The logic of the current plan, suggests the Township will run out of green space at some point, as it sells off all these types of lands in order to finance budget shortfalls. The best plan would be to fix the budget and not plan to overspend on areas that you have

no funding for. The expression of living within one’s means comes to mind. In the current market, the asset value is not being maximized at all and it will not be for the near future. Why not place this foolhardy plan on hold, until a proper rethink has been sought from Township shareholders? I know that Township staff and council can count on them to respond and offer input, in order to safeguard and manage these assets prudently. L. Calder, Langley

Visit to the zoo depressing experience Editor: I recently had some friends visiting me from Edmonton. Looking for something to do, we decided to go to the Greater Vancouver Zoo. We went there expecting to have a good time, and because I personally haven’t been there since I was a child, I was hoping to revisit the place I enjoyed years ago. Instead, we were greeted at the gates by an indifferent gum-chewing texter, and a hefty entrance fee ($22.50 per person). Walking through the place that I once loved to visit as a child made me more depressed than anything. As we walked through the cracked path, alongside the rusty old railway, we noticed something sad. All the animals were alone —well, most of them at least. The most disturbing one was a little Wallaby, alone, sitting as far as it could from any people. Its back was to the fence, it was almost shaking, and it was looking at its feet. It made me notice how most of the animals looked — sad. There are two male eagles located in the southeast part of the zoo, in a small enclosed area. It is definitely not enough space for two birds of that size. The Rhinoceros stood on a cracked cement pad in the middle of a grassy yard, with a barbed wire fence. His horns were chipped and broken, and his feet looked like they were splitting open. I would never want to live like that.

The surroundings the zoo has provided for its animals are pathetic. I am all for the learning experience of seeing wildlife and learning about animals, but I would not bring my children and pay a fortune for them to see these animals in these conditions. I was recently at the Calgary Zoo, and I paid a lot less and saw a lot more, I wouldn’t mind paying the $22 if there was value in it, but I was left with a sour taste in my mouth.

A Langley ambassador on the east coast Editor: I work at the Visitor Information Centre in North Sydney, Nova Scotia. I am writing because one of the visitors passing through the info hut today (July 24) was a lady from Langley, British Columbia. While I don’t know her full name, she identified herself as a Langley City Ambassador. To make a long story short, she was extremely friendly and upbeat. She and her husband stopped by the hut for information, and we had a lengthy conversation The

about their trip. They asked me where they could find lapel pins of Cape Breton Island. Unfortunately, there are few lapel pin vendors in the town, but I did have a few pins to offer them from the Cape Breton Arts Council and the Cape Breton Regional Municipality. At that point, the lady offered me two pins: a flag of British Columbia pin, and a City of Langley pin. When she talked about the City of Langley, she was positively bubbly and

excited to share her story of her city. In essence, you have a wonderful city ambassador representing your city on her travels along the east coast. Even though I have never been to British Columbia (though I long to visit), when I do make it westward, I will certainly be stopping in Langley.

16 Avenue closures are costly Editor: After yet another morning of being held hostage in my own home as a result of yet another closure of 16 Avenue, I hold the mayor and council of Langley Township responsible for dragging their feet on this issue. My own family is still suffering the financial losses associated with a rollover accident at the beginning of July. ICBC has yet to repair my fence or field and I have lost use of a good portion of my property because of broken glass on the site. I also lost farm income because of the accident and I continue to be affected every time there is a road closure. If the financial impact to the farming community is not enough to motivate the mayor and council to install stop signs at crossroads like 208 Street and 212 Street, I fear that eventually we will have to measure that cost in the accidental loss of an innocent life. What will it take to realize that enough is enough, and reclaim our rural roads? Teresa Townsley, Langley

Call in the riot squad Editor: Re: The Times’ (July 12) story on council backing off on the Glen Valley land sale.

Warm summer days mean colourful wildflowers, hummingbirds and butterflies. And we are indeed fortunate to have a wonderful diversity of butterflies to enjoy. There are, of course, the ‘Whites’ like the notorious cabbage white. However, not all white butterflies are cabbage whites; for example, we have a native species, called the margined white. There are several species of anglewings in our area, sometimes called ‘commas’ because of a comma-like mark on their underwings.

sources. Remember, butterflies need larval, feeding, and nectar plants. A wonderful place to spend a sunny afternoon is the Butterfly Garden located at the Nature House in Campbell Valley Regional Park (8th Avenue entrance). Here you can spend some happy hours watching and photographing insects of many shapes and colours. Final thoughts…avoid the use of pesticides. No mention of the Monarch? Monarch’s show up locally on rare occasions (wanderers), but they don’t breed here, because their caterpillars feed on mildewed. In the Okanagan, where mildewed is abundant, Monarchs are seen regularly.

The right amount of iron in the body is a good thing.Too much, and the scenario can potentially turn deadly. What is hemochromatosis? Canadian Hemochromatosis Society executive director Bob Rogers will be in Abbotsford on Wednesday to talk about the country’s most common genetic disorder — hereditary hemochromatosis (HHC). This potentially fatal condition is actually caused by a defect of iron metabolism and can lead to iron overload in vital organs, joints and tissues. The good news is, says Rogers, that the complications caused by HHC are preventable if a diagnosis is made before the excess iron causes irreversible damage. The bad news is, that while hemochromatosis is common, the tests to detect it are not widely performed. “There are simple blood tests, serum transferrin (SF) or transferrin saturation (TS), that can be done to screen people for the disorder. These tests are not part of a general medical checkup, they have to be specifically ordered on a blood lab requisition form. We’ve been lobbying for years to get more tests done

early to detect the problem.” DNA testing can confirm the presence of the three mutations known to cause hemochromatosis, he said. Rogers has been with the Cana-

“Simple blood tests can screen people for the disorder.” Bob Rogers

executive director

dian Hemochromatosis Society, a non-profit society, for five years. He believes strongly in the work that it does to raise awareness about the disorder. “My job is to get the word out about hemochromatosis,” Rogers said from Lillooet, one of the stops for his Power Point presentation. “I’m 61 now and for the next years until my retirement, I want to give back by helping people understand what we know about hemochromatosis.” How prevalent is it? According to a study, 1 in 300 in the general population are affected. “If we can find one person with hemochromatosis [through testing], then maybe we save their entire family.” Indeed, by the end of his “talking tour” this summer, Rogers

will have visited many B.C. communities. The society invites interested Langley residents to come to the Abbotsford session. Frank Berto, event co-ordinator for the society, says the office has received “quite a few queries” about hemochromatosis from people all over B .C. In his presentation, Rogers traces the history and possible origins of the disease, which dates back to 1,000 years ago when the Celts were invading northern Europe. The Canadian Hemochromatosis Society was established to create awareness about this not well understood but common disorder, so that early diagnosis would become the rule rather than the exception. The society provides information and support to those adversely affected by iron overload. Rogers will speak at the Best Western Plus Regency Inn and Suites, 32110 Marshall Road, Abbotsford at 7 p.m. on Wednesday. The hotel is located just off the Clearbrook Road exit from Highway 1. The informational seminar will cover the treatment and management of hemochromatosis.

Music unites babies and seniors

MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

A music program to help babies with early development is now benefiting older generations as well. Kindermusik’s new Village with Seniors program is bringing moms, babies and seniors together in an interactive

class that utilizes music to help newborns develop learning skills. While the mothers and their babies do exercises in singing, dancing and playing instruments, seniors from seniors’ homes are invited to watch and participate. Recently brought to the Langley Seniors’ Village, the classes have become a huge hit, said Phyllis Heppner, owner

of The Musik Shop. “The seniors absolutely love it,” she said. “You know they just are beaming.” “It’s so good for them. It really perks up their brain. Music increases the mental capacity in seniors, and when you continued, PAGE 24

Working in record high temperatures, painter Brent Heigtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paris cityscape won the HSBC gold medal in the Great Painters Challenge that took place in the gardens of the Birthplace of B.C. Gallery on B.C. Day. Finding some shade, 13 artists had three hours to create a masterpiece from scratch to win in this artistic Olympics. Silver medal was presented by Eric

Woodward to Alan Wylie. Artist Allan Hancock took the National Bank Financial bronze medal. A jury of 10 art collectors selected the top three paintings. Many people showed up to watch the painters create and to pick out their favourite piece. Heightonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold medal painting also won the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice award. The second ever Painters Challenge was a huge success, with many people coming out to watch the artists work on their paintings.

combine that with babies, it really gives them that little more mental alertness.” During the classes, while the seniors sing along to old familiar songs, or jump in with an instrument, they are increasing their motor, social, cognitive and emotional sensory skills, Heppner said. They are also helping to keep their brain cells healthy by reminiscing and stimulating memories. “It makes them feel like they have

more of a role in society, and that they can contribute to the next generation. It gives them a feeling of interaction and that they’re a useful person in society,” Heppner said, “We’re not just hiding them away somewhere, they have an impact on little, tiny babies. And they tend to really encourage the babies, so that’s very good for them. It gives them an opportunity for creativity, and self expression. They have an increased sense of self-worth and less depression, because of that. They make

friendships, they have regular participation in an event that they love. So it makes their life a little more interesting.” This is the first time that Heppner, who has taught piano for more than 40 years, has been involved in the Village with Seniors program. She says she can’t wait to bring it to more senior’s homes throughout the Fraser Valley. “I just love it,” she said. “I see such a benefit for the little ones.” For more information, visit www.themusikshop.com.

Rams rally to end Raiders streak

GARY AHUJA Times Sports

The Langley Rams nearly did the unthinkable and beat the Vancouver Island (VI) Raiders at Nanaimo’s Caledonia Park. The Rams rallied from a fourthquarter deficit to score a touchdown and two-point conversion as they tied the Raiders 31-31 on Saturday in week two action of the B.C. Junior Football Conference. Both teams improved to 1-0-1. Langley had a chance for the win, but Nick Naylor’s 48-yard field goal on the game’s final play was short of the crossbar and the Raiders ran the ball out of the end zone to avoid conceding a single point. Langley did manage to end the Raiders’ 33-straight regular season home winning streak, but that is little consolation to Rams coach Jeff Alamolhoda. “We see it as we still didn’t win,” he said. “Our goal was to go over there and win and we didn’t accomplish that.” The coach was pleased with his team’s effort.

“We came out and fought for 60 minutes,” he said. “They fought hard and that is what we are most proud of coming out of that game.” The Rams led 8-0 after one quarter, but were down 14-8 at the half. The Raiders built on their lead and were up 31-23 in the fourth quarter but Rams quarterback Greg Bowcott threw his fourth touchdown pass to Malcolm Williams to pull the team within two. Bowcott and Williams then connected on the two-point convert attempt to square things up. The Langley defence then forced a two-and-out on the Raiders next possession but were denied on the final drive of the game for the winning points. The fact the Rams came back to earn a point was a positive, Alamolhoda admitted, as there were several points his players could have packed it in when they fell behind. “Usually in those situations, against VI, teams have a tendency to pack it in and fold,” he said. “Our guys fought back, which in Caledonia Park, is rare. You rarely see a team fight back from a deficit

(here).” Alamolhoda was referring to the fact the Raiders have not lost a home regular season game since week two of 2005, the team’s inaugural year. Since their inception seven years ago, the Raiders have won the past six BCFC titles and also won three Canadian national titles (2006, 2008 and 2009). “We had a few opportunities to do it, but it was those small little details that prevented us,” Alamolhoda said. “We needed every one of those plays if we want to beat a team like VI.” The Raiders had defeated the Rams 44-0 in the Cullen Cup last October, the BCFC’s championship game. VI also won 56-19 and 39-13 during the regular season. “It was important that we knew we could play at this level,” Alamolhoda said. “We understand that (Raiders) program is a great program and has been so for many years now. “That is the bar that has been set (and) it was a good measuring stick to see where we are.” Statistically, the game was very

even as the Rams out-gained the Raiders 475 yards to 460 and both teams turned the ball over once. Bowcott was 23-for-31 for 286 yards and the four touchdown passes, three of which went to Williams. The receiver finished with 111 yards. Steven Martinez caught the other touchdown and finished with 41 yards. Running back Daniel Xavier finished with 125 yards along the ground on 22 carries, while Kyle Albertini had 43 yards on six rushes and four catches for 27 yards. He also caught a two-point convert. Nick Downey caught five passes for 64 yards, had a 65 yard touchdown called back, returned three punts for 63 yards and had another 53 yards on his lone kickoff return. Carlo Graziano led Langley’s defence with six tackles and Jordan Linnen had four tackles and two batted balls. Dan Broberg, Sheldon Van Roon and Daniel Sharpe had sacks. The Rams have their home opener on Saturday when they welcome the Chilliwack Huskers (0-2) to McLeod Park. Game time is 8 p.m.

The lineup is set for next month’s international volleyball competition at the Langley Events Centre. Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Canada will battle for the gold medal at the inaugural U23 Pan American men’s Volleyball Cup. The competition runs Sept. 25 to 30 at the LEC. Canada will be represented by the Trinity Western Spartans, the two-time Canadian Interuniversity Sport national champions. “As a group, to have every guy getting the chance to represent your country at home and in front of friends and fans is an opportunity that is a blessing for sure,” said Trinity Western coach Ben Josephson. “We get to play against guys who are roughly the same age from other countries who might be more skilled and maybe even a little bit bigger and more physical. “I think it will be interesting to see how they can relax and stay focused in that scenario.” Five of the six attending countries have senior teams currently in the top 25 of the FIVB world rankings, including topranked Brazil. Argentina is ranked eighth, Canada is 16th, Venezuela is 18th and Mexico is 23rd.The Dominican Republic is 92nd. “The level of competition fans will see at this event is second to none,” said LEC director of business development Jared Harman. “The volleyball community is going to see the best the sport has to offer at the U23 level.”

D-man goes for gold with Canada KURT LANGMANN Black Press

A fast-rising young hockey defender from Aldergrove is in Slovakia for the Memorial of Ivan Hlinka tournament. Shea Theodore, who turned 17 last month, is one of nine Western Hockey League players selected by Hockey Canada from the men’s U-18 national hockey camp in Toronto last week. Canada, which has won the tournament four straight years, is in a pool with Slovakia, Sweden and Switzerland. The top two teams from each pool advance to the semifinals on Friday and the gold-medal game is Saturday. “It was a very competitive camp, we could have easily chosen all these players to play in the tournament,” said Canadian head coach Todd Gill, prior to the team departing for the tournament. “There is a lot of talent on the ice in this country, and we look forward to getting to Europe and continuing Canada’s great tradition at this event.” This will not be Theodore’s first European tournament. He won his first gold medal at the age of 11 when his triple-A All-Star team won all 18 games and the gold medal in Europe. Winning gold has become almost second nature for Theodore as his U-16 B.C. team won the gold at the Canada Winter Games in Halifax in February of 2011. Theodore is perhaps the most outstanding player in the history of Aldergrove Minor Hockey, consistently averaging above 125 in the plus-minus, reaching a peak of 164 in his bantam year. “In minor hockey that’s a stupendous feat,” says Troy Theodore, president of AMHA as well as Shea’s proud uncle. “In every team he’s played on, including the WHL’s

Aldergrove’s Shea Theodore is skating for Canada’s U18 team this week in Slovakia for the Memorial of Ivan Hlinka tournament. Seattle Thunderbirds that he’s now with, he’s been an exceptional player.” He credits AMHA coaches Steve Howerton and Dan and Kris Armstrong for helping his nephew develop into the player he is today. “Those three guys took him from atom to bantam, and then he went straight into Major Midget,” Troy Theodore said. The defenceman had a great 2010-11 season with the BCMML’s Fraser Valley Bruins, netting 29 points in 35 games before joining Seattle — which had drafted him in the third round of the WHL Bantam Draft in 2010 — to play the final four games of the WHL season. He went on to play 69 games and rack up 35 points for Seattle last

season as a rookie. “Seattle rode him hard in his rookie year but he just blossomed,” Troy Theodore said. “He was the best d-man they had and when you play against higher competition, the better you get.” Theodore finished fifth on the team in scoring and was third among rookie defensemen in the WHL. Shea’s father Cam says his son “has been eating, sleeping and breathing hockey since he was a toddler. “I asked him once when he was young how he could see a split-second passing opportunity and he just looked at me and said, ‘I don’t understand your question. I just do it,’” his father recalled. Born at Langley Memorial

Hospital, Shea attended Betty Gilbert School during his elementary school years before attending his senior school years at Abbotsford’s Yale Hockey Academy, on the advice of Brad Bowen. Throughout those years Theodore played for the AMHA, passing up other opportunities. The only time Theodore was ever cut from a team was last year’s Canada U-17 tryouts. Cam said this only strengthened Shea’s resolve to try harder. “He came home in March and trained so hard; he upped his size to 6’2” and 185 pounds. “He promised me on Father’s Day that he would make Team Canada this year.” “It means a lot to me. It shows how hard I have worked and how far I have to go,” Theodore said in a statement prior to the camp. Theodore has earned a reputation for his cool-headed and calm manner on the ice, and impressed the eastern hockey scouts during last weekend’s camp in Toronto. “Six scouts phoned Newport Sports and asked Shea’s agent Don Mehan who this player was and why they had never heard of him before; they had never seen a defender with ‘ice in his veins’ play like this before,” Cam Theodore said. Shea scored a goal in each of the three camp scrimmages. Seattle Thunderbirds general manager Russ Farwell said, “This is an exciting achievement for Shea. To be included in the top 22 players in Canada is an honour and clearly serves notice that Shea will be pushing to be a high selection in next year’s NHL Draft. “He is a very exciting offensive player and the best is yet to come as he gains strength and confidence.”

Defender ‘not pleasant to play against’ GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Last year, Brett Mydske was the Western Lacrosse Association’s unsung hero award winner, but this time around, he has been deemed the league’s top defender. Mydske, a 24-year-old from New Westminster, added the Gord Nicholson Trophy to his collection last week. “I don’t go out for the individual

awards, but I guess when you get them, it is icing on the cake,” he said. “Obviously it is nice to win awards and stuff like that because it means you are doing something right on the floor. “But I can’t take credit for all of it because when you are playing a team defence like ours, everybody on the floor contributes.” Mydske was also named a WLA first team all-star while teammate

Athan Iannucci, who led the team with 30 goals during the regular season and was tied for the lead with 57 points, was a second team selection. Thunder coach Rod Jensen calls Mydske — a six-foot-four, 225-pound defender — a “quiet leader who is developing into a phenomenal defender.” “He just goes about his business quietly, but I tell you, the other offensive players don’t like when he

‘Unsung’ Poole gets his dues GARY AHUJA Times Sports

It isn’t the most high profile job on the team, but Ian Poole does it and he does it well. Taking face-offs, pressuring the ball and playing defence may not get the glory — that usually goes to the offensive stars who fill the opposition’s net — but the Langley Thunder coaching staff know they have a real gem in Poole. “He is a quiet guy who doesn’t want a pat on the back,” said Thunder coach Rod Jensen. “He just wants to work his butt off.” But the 30-year-old Poole, in his fifth season with Langley, has gotten more than a pat on the back.He was awarded the Western Lacrosse Association’s Fred Wooster Trophy as the unsung hero. For Poole, the award just means he is filling his role. “It shows that hard work pays off, it doesn’t get missed by people,” he said. “It does make you feel proud.” After playing his minor lacrosse in North Delta, Poole played junior with New Westminster. And it was with the Junior Salmonbellies where he concentrated on the defensive aspect of the game. “It would be nice getting five goals, but I am happy with my role,” he explained. “(But) as long as I am contributing and working hard, I am definitely happy with the success and with my role. “And I like my role: I get to hit people.” For his career, Poole has 10 goals and 48 points in 61 games. And while those numbers don’t jump out to the casual observer, it is the other things he does that get him noticed. “He is an incredible face-off guy, probably the best I have ever seen since Geoff Snider,”

Jensen said. Poole only began taking draws on a regular basis three seasons ago, and in all three years, he led Langley, including in 2012 — his best year yet — when he led the WLA by winning 174 of the 297 face-offs he took, a .586 winning percentage. Those numbers are even better in the post-season, as Poole has won 45 of 67 draws, .672 per cent. “Winning those faceoffs gets us so many more possessions and that can

either break momentum or keep it going after a goal,” Jensen said. He is also an excellent defender. “A lot of times on defence, it might look like he is beat, but when the opponent throws the ball, he sticks his stick out and steals it,” Jensen said. “He is a great worker with great hands.” The work ethic comes from being the youngest of four siblings, all of whom were athletic.

“I was always trying to be as good as my older siblings,” Poole said. “And my dad had a hard work ethic and I just accepted that.” As for his success, Poole said it is a product of hard work. “I take what I do seriously,” he said. “I am always analyzing the game and figuring things out, how I can get better and correct things. “I work hard and concentrate and try and push myself.”

checks them.” This was his third full season with Langley, and he also plays professionally for the Edmonton Rush of the National Lacrosse League. Mydske also suited up for Canada at the world indoor championships last year. Jensen said Mydske is such a good defender because of his strength, leverage and balance. “A lot of defenders like to beat the crap out of people but they don’t have good balance, so after they chop or whatever, the player gets around them,” Jensen said. “And he has the long reach so he can keep the offensive player a little bit away.” Mydske said he began focusing on defence when he was at the intermediate level.

“I like it because you get to match up against the best offensive players all the time,” he said. ••••• The Langley Thunder will play for the WLA championship after sweeping the Burnaby Lakers in four games. The Thunder finished off the bestof-seven series on Friday with an 11-10 victory over the Lakers at Burnaby’s Bill Copeland Arena. Athan Iannucci scored three times and set up another while Garrett Billings had five assists in the game four victory (for more, visit www. langleytimes.com.) Lewis Ratcliff led all players in the series with 21 points. The Thunder will host the winner of the Coquitlam/Victoria series, which is tied at two games apiece.

OBITUARIES

Ethel May Belanger January 9, 1922 - May 29, 2012

Today a most beautiful soul left us. Mom, Nan, Great Nan, our rock, the foundation of our family died peacefully at Hospice House with family by her side. Ethel now gets to hang out with the love of her life Bernie (2003), son Bernie Jr. (1985) and grandson Greg (2008). Left to carry on her legacy of strong morals and rock solid values are her two sons and their families; Al (Pat) in Calgary, Al’s daughters; Pam (Jim) and Cheryl (Kelly), Lee (Francine) in Armstrong, their sons; Taylor (Kerry) and his daughter Gwen, Darcy (Alena)and Mia, and Michael (Chelsey); Bernie Jr’s kids and their families, Brian (Leanne) Brylee and Levon, Garrett (Tanya) and Nolan, Nicole, Greg’s wife Marilyn and their kids Jacqueline, Jeanette and Derik. She will also be greatly missed by her brothers and sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews and so very many friends. Born in Vermilion, AB. Ethel moved to Vancouver as a young teen, met Bernie and started their life’s journey together. Their adventures led them to numerous places at the coast and on the Island during and after the war. Many life long bonds were formed from the years they lived in Seattle and Fort Langley. Much of the time they lived in The Fort, Ethel volunteered at ‘The Penny Pincher’ which brought her great joy and many friendships. After a few years in Keremeos, they moved to Armstrong in 2001 when Bernie’s health started failing. Ethel cared for Bernie till his ﬁnal day, all the time forging new friendships she deeply honoured. She cherished the time spent with friends at the Legion. The luncheons and their many other functions were times she eagerly looked forward to. Not one to shy away from controversy and always up for a challenge Ethel spoke her mind openly and had the utmost respect for those who did the same. Ethel loved playing in the dirt and grew the best ﬂowers and veggies that she generously shared with many. So very kind and caring, she was always making sure others had what they needed, and volunteered her time anywhere she could help lighten the load. Being busy kept her young and healthy, “may as well keep busy and make a difference”. There will be a Remembrance Gathering at the Aldergrove Legion 26607 Fraser Hwy. Aldergrove on Sunday, August 19, 2012 at 2:00 pm to honour Ethel’s life journey. As Ethel lived her life giving to many different charities, we would like to ask anyone able to do so, please make a contribution to North Okanagan Hospice Society (3506 27 Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 1S4, www.nohs.ca) or any charity of your choice. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca.
