Adam Leduc, far right, led family and friends of his brother Andrew in a memorial balloon release Saturday, Aug. 9, near the 19500 block of the Langley Bypass where Andrew was struck and killed by a semi truck one year ago.

It’s been a year, but Adam Leduc is still waiting for the phone to ring and to hear his brother’s voice on the other end. “It’s still not real for me,” said Adam of the passing of his brother, Andrew. Family and friends of Andrew Leduc gathered Saturday (Aug. 9), to mark the one-year anniversary of the death of the 37-year-old son, brother and father to three young children. He was struck and struck and killed by a semi truck driven by a Surrey RCMP consultant in the 19500 block of the Langley Bypass, on the Surrey-Langley border. Police blocked off a lane of traffic on the Langley Bypass as loved ones, including Andrew’s mom, brother, twin sisters and two daughters, met on the side of the road at the spot where he was killed. The anniversary of his death comes only weeks after an RCMP investigation cleared the driver, a consultant whom the RCMP and other law enforcement agencies employ to assist in traffic investigations, of wrongdoing — even though he did not stop after the accident. “It kind of brings everything back up again,” said Adam of the conclusion of the investigation, adding that the family is nowhere close to having closure. “He’s got three young kids who are going to grow up now never really knowing their dad,” he said of Andrew’s children, the youngest of whom was just six months old at the time of his death. “Everything with him was about the kids, taking them out and being with them.” The two dozen attendees honoured Andrew by releasing bright red balloons — decorated with handdrawn messages remembering him — into the cloudless summer sky.

Numbers down in Langley homeless count MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re por t e r

There are fewer homeless people in Langley this year, than there were in 2011. The final numbers are in from the oneday Metro Vancouver homeless count. It saw an 11 per cent decrease in Langley’s homeless population in 2014. On the day of the count, March 12, volunteers located 92 people who were

homeless in Langley and Aldergrove. Volunteers went out to known homeless camps, gathering spots and to the Gateway of Hope to gather information about Langley’s homeless population. More than 900 volunteers fanned out across the region to obtain a 24-hour snapshot of people who are homeless. A preliminary report came out in April but now the final numbers are now in. The last count was done in 2011.

At that time, Langley’s volunteers counted 103 people who were homeless. In 2008 there were 86, and in 2005, there were 57 people homeless. When the count began, in 2002, Langley only had 18 homeless people counted. Most communities in Metro Vancouver saw a significant drop this year. Langley has the third highest number of children and youth living on the streets, with only Vancouver and Surrey

higher. In fact, 16 teens were found to be unsheltered. But Loren Roberts of the Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services said that number paints an inaccurate picture. “We know of five youth right now who are living without shelter and four of those are not interested in getting help from us,” said Roberts.

Dog walker facing animal cruelty charges EMMA PAULSON CLAIMED SIX DOGS HAD BEEN STOLEN FROM HER TRUCK AT BROOKSWOOD OFF-LEASH PARK MON IQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

L an gley Tim es file ph oto

A memorial to six dogs that died of heat exhaustion in the back of a dog walker’s pickup truck hangs on the fence at a Brookswood off-leash dog park. Emma Paulson originally claimed the animals had been stolen while she was using the park’s washroom facilities, but later admitted they had died while in her care. Crown has approved six charges of animal cruelty against Paulson.

Crown counsel has approved numerous charges of animal cruelty against Delta dogwalker Emma Paulsen. The BC SPCA filed a report recommending the charges against Paulsen in May after six dogs died in her care. Paulsen initially reported the dogs stolen from the Brookswood off-leash dog park in Langley on May 13, sparking a huge community search for the missing animals. But nearly a week later she admitted that the dogs had died of heat exhaustion after she left them in her vehicle on a hot day. Langley RCMP met with Paulsen and she led them to a ditch in Abbotsford where all six dogs were dumped. Of the six dogs that died, one was her ex-husband and children’s border collie. The SPCA had a necropsy done on each dog and it confirmed the canines died of heat exhaustion.

Paulsen has been charged with animal cruelty and neglect under both the Criminal Code and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. “Every charge that we recommended — and really, every possible animal cruelty-related charge that she could have faced — has been approved,” said Marcie Moriarty, SPCA chief prevention and enforcement officer. “We could not be more pleased.” Paulsen faces six charges including killing an animal, causing unnecessary suffering, pain or injury, neglecting to provide adequate food, water or shelter, failing to protect and animal from circumstances that are likely to cause distress, causing or permitting distress and intent to mislead police in an investigation. Paulsen faces a maximum fine of $75,000, up to five years in jail and a ban of owning or having custody of animals for a period of time determined by the judge.

Aldergrove senior to be tried for property theft MAN, 74, AND 31-YEAR-OLD ASSOCIATE ACCUSED OF STEAL ING BR AND NEW PIC KU P M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

A 31-year-old Aldergrove man and his 74-year-old associate will go to trial facing several charges in relation to stolen property allegedly found on their 256 Street property. Derek Hall is charged with theft of a motor vehicle, eight counts of possession of stolen property and public mischief. He is also charged with theft of six metal garbage containers found on the accuseds’ property in the 6600 block of 256 Street. He shares the acreage with his co-accused Roeloff Dendyver, 74, who is charged with several property crimes, as well as assaulting a police officer in October 2012.

After a lengthy investigation. charges were laid against the two men. They are accused in a number of property crimes, including stealing a brand new truck during a test drive, and stealing a bulldozer and trailer. Police allege Dendyver attended a local dealership and test drove a new 2012 Dodge pickup. A short time later, he reported to police that he had been carjacked and the truck stolen. Later that month, Langley RCMP received a report of a new Dodge pickup truck parked in the trees on the property where the two men live. However, when officers went there, no truck was found.

Also in March, Langley RCMP received a report that a Caterpillar loader and a Komatsu bulldozer had been stolen from a construction site. As Langley RCMP Street Enforcement Unit continued their investigation, they applied for and were granted a search warrant for the accuseds’ property. During the search, both the loader and bulldozer were recovered, as well as a key for the new Dodge pickup that had allegedly been carjacked. Additionally, a large utility trailer was located on the property and determined to have been stolen. It was returned to the owner. The Dodge pickup truck was recovered at

a residence of a relative of the older man. The vehicle was returned to the dealership. Additionally, when police arrived on the property and announced they would be executing the search warrant, the elderly man allegedly punched one of the officers in the face. Dendyver is charged with public mischief, assaulting a peace officer and possession of stolen property. The two are also jointly charged with theft of a motor vehicle, and two counts of possession of stolen property. They were back in Surrey Provincial Court for a pre-trial conference on July 26. Neither is in custody.

Who said retirement living couldn’t be fun?

From Page 1

According to the police investigation, on Aug. 7, 2013, a consultant for the Surrey RCMP was driving east in the 19500 block of the Bypass at 3 a.m., coming from working with Surrey Mounties in recreating another unrelated crash which took the life of a Surrey RCMP officer. He saw what he thought was a rolled-up sleeping bag on the road. The driver claims he couldn’t avoid hitting the sleeping bag, so continued and felt a bump. It was, in fact, Andrew bending over the curb lane. He was thrown more than 100 feet into the opposite lanes and pronounced dead at the scene. According to the investigation, the driver slowed to look in his mirrors after feeling a bump, but seeing nothing kept driving all the way back to a storage yard in Mission to drop off the borrowed semi. There he noticed blood on the truck, and said he knew he had

hit an animal or person. He washed the blood off, he said, because he didn’t want to leave it for the owner to clean up. The driver did not call police to report he’d likely hit someone until several hours later, first stopping for coffee and gas, although in the police investigation it was revealed that the man’s cellphone battery was dead at the time. “I wish [the driver] would man up and step forward and admit what he’s done, because I don’t buy his story quite frankly,” Adam said. An eight-month investigation by Surrey RCMP, supported by the Police Complaints Commission, cleared the RCMP consultant of wrongdoing, on the grounds that he co-operated with police and that there was no evidence he knew he hit anyone at the time. The report also noted that Andrew had appeared impaired to witnesses on the night in question and had methadone in his

blood. No criminal charges are being sought. “Things like the driver washing the blood off the truck, I find that completely unacceptable, even to try to stick to his story saying it’s an animal … it doesn’t make any sense. He should have notified the police right away, especially being that he worked for the police,” said Adam. Despite the recent report, the family hasn’t given up on justice for Andrew. According to Adam, he plans on submitting a Freedom of Information request to obtain the police report from the incident, as well as writing a letter to the attorney general to see if the office would consider re-opening the investigation. Although he knows “chances are pretty slim,” Adam said he wants to keep fighting. “At least we can show [his] kids when they grow up we did try, and that’s very important for me, to know we made an effort to get some justice for him.”

pen and has received a lot of support from the Township. He is hoping to work further with the City.

While all homeless counts are undercounts, it appears the number of people who are homeless is down or stable across Metro Vancouver, excluding Vancouver, which saw a significant increase. The report from the Homeless Steering Committee said further research needs to be done to figure out why there appears to be fewer homeless people in Metro Vancouver. Are they getting quicker and more successful access to housing and support? Or are there less people becoming homeless? The answer to those questions isn’t clear.

Hot weather and dry conditions added some extra challenges for Langley Township firefighters on Monday morning. A garage in the 2800 block of 197 Street was destroyed in a fire, and a neighbouring barn was also damaged. Firefighters also had to battle grass fires which started as a result of the larger fire, and one firefighter was taken to hospital suffering from heat exhaustion.

A couple of Langley Township firefighters were overcome by heat, with one sent to hospital as a precaution, while battling a barn and garage fire in South Langley on Monday. Around 11:30 a.m.,Township firefighters were called to the blaze in the 2800 block of 197 Street. When they arrived at the large property, a standalone ga-

Sockeye ‘unlikely’ to be hurt by spill JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s

Last week’s Mount Polley mine tailings pond spill is “unlikely” to significantly harm Fraser River sockeye now returning to spawn in fouled Quesnel Lake, according to the Pacific Salmon Commission. The agency managing salmon fisheries said it doesn’t expect the peak of the sockeye migration to reach Quesnel Lake until the first week of September, giving about 20 days for river and lake conditions there to improve. In a news release issued Friday it also noted the “encouraging results” of initial water quality tests released by the province is a cause for optimism. But the commission cautioned there are also juvenile sockeye currently rearing in the lake and it’s too soon to tell whether they will be severely affected. “The spill could impact their survival and food supply,” it said. Great concern persists among First Nations and other salmon users over the potential for contamination and long-lasting damage to the fishery as a result of the mine disaster. Between 845,000 and 2.95 million sockeye are forecast to spawn in the Quesnel system this year — about a quarter of the summer run and seven per cent of all Fraser sockeye stocks combined. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has not directly commented on the threat to salmon, saying Environment Canada is the lead federal agency. “Fisheries and Oceans Canada will be closely monitoring the salmon run as it approaches the Quesnel system over the coming days to assess the potential effects of these pollutants and other factors including water temperature on salmon returns,” the department said via an emailed statement. The Fraser continues to run at lower levels and higher temperatures than average, adding to concern that significant numbers of sockeye could die on their way upstream before spawning. But officials say incoming sockeye look healthy and most are migrating through Johnstone Strait, rather than Juan de Fuca Strait on the west side of Vancouver Island. Commercial fishing began offshore on Aug. 2.

Question langeytimes.com

Alison Redford resigned her seat as an Alberta MLA last Tuesday. She may be taking the Alberta Progressive Conservatives out the door with her — polls show that the party is in rough shape, just two years after Redford took it to an historic victory, in an election where the PCs had been behind in the polls. Alberta is booming. The oil business is strong, and there are plenty of jobs available. Taxes are low and housing prices, while still high, are lower than here. The PCs are long in the tooth — they have been in office since 1971, under six different premiers. They have benefited from the Alberta preference of keeping one party in power for long stretches of time, until the public eventually tires of them. The Social Credit Party, which preceded the PCs, was in power for 36 years before getting tossed. The PCs are now in year 43. The reason Redford resigned as premier in March, and now as MLA, was her spending habits. She used government aircraft for personal and party business, and it has recently come out that her staff would book fictional passengers so that she didn’t have to share the private jets with anyone — that is, her own MLAs. She also arranged to have a private penthouse built in an Edmonton building owned by the government. Work on it was well underway when she left the premier’s job. Redford was taken down by the spending of $45,000 to attend Nelson Mandela’s funeral last December in South Africa. Redford worked for the United Nations for years and knew Mandela, but when offered a seat on a plane taking Prime Minister Stephen Harper and others to the funeral, decided to go business class on her own. She took arrogance and entitlement to a new level, one rarely seen anywhere else in Canada. A remark in the auditor-general’s report on her spending habits is worth repeating. Auditor-General Merwan Saher wrote “How could this have happened? The answer is the aura of power around Premier Redford and her office and the perception that the influence of the office should not be questioned.” That phrase sums up the way most governments in Canada operate. The leader of the party that wins an election quickly cloaks him or herself with an “aura of power” and no one, including other cabinet ministers or government MPs or MLAs, can question their actions. Redford may have taken that “aura of power” into a new stratosphere, in terms of misuse of her office and a willingness to ignore rules. But she is far from the only government leader to surround herself with an “aura of power.” No wonder Canadians are so cynical about politics.

Take care with fire they

Firefighters appreciate the opportunity to practise their craft. But on the West Shore, like anywhere else, most would ideally rather do so in controlled situations than fight uncontrolled blazes on public or private land. Langford firefighters were kept busy this past week dousing flames in a handful of fires, most of which were determined to have been caused by human carelessness. Fire inspector Chris Aubrey pointed the finger of blame toward careless smokers, after fire singed a large patch of dry grass near Belmont Secondary. As with a brush fire that burned Monday, firefighters determined it was most likely the result of careless use of fire accelerants. On average, about 40 per cent of forest fires in B.C. are started by humans. This year, about 60 per cent have been, according to figures from the B.C. wildfire management branch. Finding those directly responsible for starting specific fires can be difficult, especially if it takes a little time to ignite and spread. And for certain, there are various actions that lead to fire — firefighters recently trooped through Goldstream Park last Saturday to find and douse an unattended campfire before it spread. A good place to start is by getting tough on ignorant smokers. — Goldstream News Gazette

Residents hung out to dry Editor: Thank you for publishing the opinion piece from the Abbotsford News (Aug. 7) on propane cannons. The use of a cannon on property adjoining mine this summer has caused a dangerous stampede of my horses and constant startling, early morning wakening, tension and worry for me. This occurs despite the owner complying with the relevant Township bylaw. That a small numbers of cannon owners should be able to inflict such truly noxious penalties on their neighbours is inexcusable, yet they have the blessing of a municipal bylaw passed at the behest of the ministry of agriculture. Our mayor and council purportedly represent the residents of Langley and had an excellent opportunity to do so after a very large turnout at a public meeting, which heard many speakers

condemn the use of cannons, to virtually 100 per cent support. But council didn’t take the opportunity. Members chickened out and turned the matter over to a special committee which was totally dominated by ministry of agriculture personnel. The council didn’t unite with other municipalities, it didn’t speak forcefully in Victoria, it just obediently got into bed with the well-lobbied provincial advisors and politicians. The mayor and council should give a clear explanation of why they think innocent hapless residents of Langley should be punished week after summer week by cannons blasting, in the mindless pursuit of the almighty dollar by the very few. MARGARET ORMSTON, LANGLEY

Negotiate in the summer Editor: I have sent the following open letter to Premier Christy Clark: As a parent of two children in the public education system, I was very disappointed with the announcement July 31 of the government offering to pay parents $40 per day if the dispute with the teachers is not settled before the school year is scheduled to begin in September. If you do not negotiate with the teachers union over the summer, you are neglecting your duty as premier. It is your government’s job to negotiate in good faith to resolve the differences between the union and the government. You and your government will be directly responsible for delaying the school year if these negotiations do not take place. You need to meet each and every day until this dis-

pute is resolved. Only in this way can a settlement be reached. Of course if you sit back and enjoy your summer recess until October you can end the strike with legislation. This is the coward’s way out. It says you are not even willing to give up a little of your summer vacation to work for the education of the children of this province. Of course they can’t vote, so what do you care. But remember their parents can vote now and the children will in the future. Children are the future. Well-educated children now is the beginning of a bright future. Without them there will be no future taxpayers, no health care, no social security net, and no continued retirement pay for former politicians. JILL ADAMOVICH, LANGLEY

D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s

Steff D’Agorne and Ben Evers-Staples were part of a six-person crew from Langley Environmental Partners who scooped hundreds of dead fish out of Brydon Lagoon last week.

Cost argument rejected Editor: Brydon Lagoon truly is a jewel in Langley City — although at this point it appears to be somewhat of a tarnished jewel. Langley City’s chief administrator, Francis Cheung, says the city is aware of the problem, yet he offers no solutions. Cheung claims that dredging is cost prohibitive and not an option. Where was Cheung’s fear of something being costprohibitive when McBurney Lane was under construction? Perhaps there should be some meaningful dialogue with the Langley Field Naturalists to at least explore this option. There are those who have given little or no thought to the problem and who say the solution is to “simply pave over the lagoon.” The question is this: How can you pave over something that City staff says consists of at least two meters of sludge at the bottom? This would be comparable to trying to pave over Burns Bog. And who would even consider paving over this little bit of paradise? Further in his comments to The Times,

Memories of ‘the first kiss’ Editor: I am writing in response to the demolition of the former nightclub China Beach (The Times, July 29). I would like to tell you our story, as it’s a good memory of the former nightclub. It was July 1991. I was out at China Beach with a few girlfriends, dancing the night away to the band Trooper. A guy I hadn’t really met before, but knew of through other people, asked me to dance. It was a slow one. I said sure. We danced. The song ended, he looked into my eyes, I looked into his, and we kissed.

There is such a thing as love at first sight. We felt it and we saw the fireworks.We went our separate ways that evening, only to reconnect that December. We have been together ever since. He asked me to marry him two years later. In June, 1994, we were married. We just celebrated our 20th anniversary. Reading the story about the fall of the former nightclub with the “storied” past made us reminisce about our first kiss.Thank you for that. KAREN AND GORD PERRIN, LANGLEY

Cheung also says that Langley City staff cannot understand why the pumps keep “shutting off.” There is a simple solution to that: Fire the person responsible for pump maintenance and hire someone who can fix the problem. If this was your backyard swimming pool, would you simply accept a repairman telling you that they “can’t figure it out,” or would you look for another repairman? Brydon Lagoon is a beautiful natural setting in a city that is increasingly seeing more development and less preservation of its natural assets. Brydon Lagoon should be preserved as the natural benefit it is to the city. It should be considered the Lost Lagoon of Langley and Langley City staff needs to find some concrete solutions. It is unacceptable to simply say, “it’s cost prohibitive and we don’t know how to fix the problem. Brydon Lagoon needs to be brought back to its 29-year history of beauty. TONY FULLER, LANGLEY CITY

Forest school planned in fall Happy Hours Preschool is planning a new and quite unique program for September. The all outdoors Forest School will begin a pilot program in September. “Getting outside is essential to who we are as human beings, physically and mentally, yet today’s children are spending so little time outside that the phrase “Nature Deficit Disorder” is becoming more widely used,” says Zuri Scrivens, founding member and lead visionary for Happy Hours Preschool. “The increasing trend towards a more tech-connected world and my desire for a stronger connection to the environment for my son are what planted the seeds to create the first Forest School in Langley,” she says. Forest school curriculum is largely emergent, child-directed, and play-based. The ethos of forest school allows learners the time and space to develop their interests, skills, and un-

derstanding through practical, hands-on experiences. At a forest school, children have the freedom to explore, play, build, create, imagine, and use their senses to experience the outdoor environment and engage with one another. Sustainability is woven into the culture of the classroom, and as nature becomes a teacher, sustainability becomes the foundation on which both children and teachers stand. Scrivens says the new forest school program will serve to reconnect children with the ever-changing environment, while creating a base of knowledge surrounding the importance of community and sustainability. The first of its kind in the Fraser Valley, the school plans to meet children’s needs for self-esteem, leadership skills, and Kindergarten readiness, in addition to offering alternative preschool options. Parenting blogs and maga-

zines have been covering the need for more outdoor play, and Happy Hours Preschool is following through. “There are limitless opportunities here to enrich the preschool experience for our kids in a truly down to earth kind of way. This school will fill the gap in our culture that has disconnected us from our outside world while also creating something new and exciting in our community,” says Sherri Thorpe, president of Happy Hours Preschool. “I think this program will be a great fit for my son. He’s active, and learns through doing,” says parent Jami Savage. The pilot program will start in September and run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:15 a.m. to 12 p.m. in a variety of locations, with the majority being in Willoughby, Walnut Grove and Fort Langley. Those interested can visit www.happyhourspreschool.bc.ca or call 604-888-8555.

ever agree to. If you accept it sight unseen, you will have needlessly compromised your ability to negotiate changes that would make the lease more balanced.

Don’t be too quick to jump into rent and other negotiations with the landlord’s rep or listing agent. Consider engaging your own tenant’s rep to vet your options and help cut the deal.

You should therefore see your lawyer before signing your initial offer to lease. After review, your lawyer can help clarify and nail down any uncertain, unclear and sometimes even inconsistent provisions in it. Uncertainty as to important terms could jeopardize your lease deal altogether.

Most major real estate brokerage firms have agents specializing in commercial leasing. An expert tenant’s agent with good negotiating skills will add value for you. He or she has access to computerized, broad-based current market information you don’t, such as the landlord’s competition, upcoming vacancies, going market rental rates and tenant inducements.

Health Matters

Everyone knows that smoking is associated with lung cancer, pulmonary disease and cardiovascular disease, but now definitive studies are showing that smoking increases the risk of diabetes by 30 to 40 per cent. According to the American Surgeon General’s recent report, smoking can even be called a cause of diabetes. The good news, though, is that the sooner you quit smoking, the sooner you can start reversing that risk. It has been 50 years since the first Surgeon General’s report on smoking linked smoking and lung cancer! How far we have come… or have we? Since then, smoking has also been linked to a multitude more diseases including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, immune dysfunction, tuberculosis, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, age-related macular degeneration, and erectile dysfunction – a long list of reasons to quit! An article published in the New England Journal of Medicine is calling for a tripling of the taxes on tobacco! Noting that price is a key determinant in both starting and quitting smoking, such a marked increase

in taxes would result in a doubling of the price of cigarettes – encouraging current smokers to quit (or reduce their use) while preventing others from BOB SANGHA starting. The authors believe Pharmacist, BSc this would reduce tobacco consumption by about 33 per cent. Electronic cigarettes have been gaining popularity as a tool for quitting smoking, but several studies are demonstrating that they do not improve quit rates, don’t even reduce cigarette consumption, and, in teens, actually contribute to nicotine addiction! The data relate specifically to e-cigarettes that contain nicotine, but it could also be argued that using the nicotine-free varieties does little to change habits either. Are you ready to quit? Your chances of success are better when you are better informed. Talk to our pharmacists for advice – some even have specialized training in coaching you through the process!

BRAINCHILD OF LOCAL DUO, ONLINE PROGRAM EXPLORES BEST THE VALLEY HAS TO OFFER

5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

As two active members in the Fraser Valley social media scene, it was only a matter of time before they connected offline. Back in May, Langley’s Kristyl Clark from the She’s a Valley Mom ‘blogazine,’ interviewed Michael Thorne, a local realtor and one of the faces behind the popular My North Langley fan page, for a feature on her website. Once she was back in her car, the idea of a partnership suddenly popped into Clark’s head. “It was all I could think about on the drive home from the interview,” recalled the work-athome mom, who had just spent the past hour learning how Thorne utilizes the power of social media to build his brand and help others learn more about their own backyard. “Every area that I feel like I lack knowledge or confidence in happens to be Michael’s strengths. And, to be honest, he’s just a lot of fun to work with — such an inspiring guy.” With Clark’s penchant for writing and passion for her community, coupled with Thorne’s gift for the gab and a shared enthusiasm for his hometown, one might say they’ve cast themselves in the perfect roles. The duo, who met in the digital realm, are about to give the Fraser Valley a big fat proverbial high-five for all the world to see on their computer screens, iPads or and any other digital device. Fraser Valley 5 is an interactive online talk show that made its debut on Aug. 7, delivering a fresh, fun and quirky perspective of the Fraser Valley — the places, the people and events — served up in five enticing visual bites. The talk show, hosted by Thorne and Clark, will keep with a ‘top-five’ theme, all centered around hot spots, happenings and faces around the Fraser Valley. “It’s going to have a little bit of everything,” said Thorne, a long-time Walnut Grove resident and father of two, who, along with his friend Tyler McClendon, launched the My North Langley page three years ago. The one-of-a-kind online passion project connects people in the North Langley communities of Walnut Grove, Fort Langley and Willoughby. “Through the My North Langley page, I’ve learned about so many incredible things that happen out this way that I wasn’t aware of before. Now, my wife Tracey and I, along with our two sons, Keaton, 5, and Carter, 8, will get to go out and find all these other hidden gems through the whole Fraser Valley with this new show.” And while Clark usually hides behind her byline, the blogger had been toying with the idea of putting herself out there to connect with her readers on a different platform — one that will provide another medium to do what she loves best — go on adventures in the Valley with her two daughters, Molly, 5, Zoe, 3, and husband Jason. “To be honest, I’m a little nervous about being in front of a camera — I’m usually the one taking the pictures and filming the video,” she said. “However, this is going to be such a blast. We’re not going to take ourselves too seriously.” She is hopeful her fans will be just as excited about the her new project and partnership with Thorne. “We’ve got the logo, filming location and a calendar jam-packed with some pretty exciting shows lined up. Make sure you check us out — in just five minutes or less we promise you’ll learn more about the Fraser Valley than you ever realized — even if you have lived here all of your

The pair’s new internet program ranked the eatery’s outdoor space among the top five patios in the Valley. The twice monthly online talk show debuted last week. Check it out at fraservalley5.com. life like us.” With the success of the My North Langley fan page and Mobile Agent TV, Thorne is confident the Fraser Valley is ready and has an appetite for what the pair are about to deliver. “I really think the people in our community are ready for something like this. It’s fun, it’s informative and it’s something that is for them. “Really, it’s not about us. We want to involve and engage our viewers — this one belongs to you guys.” Even before the first episode was taped, the community was already rallying behind them,

says Clark. “We’re really excited to already have a following on Facebook and Twitter. We also already have some fantastic sponsors on board and we’re now one of the official media sponsors of the Langley Good Times Cruise-In. We’ll be taping on location on Saturday, Sept. 6, so come please come and say hello.” Fraser Valley 5 debuted last week. To watch the program, visit www.fraservalley5.com.

Langley’s Critter Care is asking you to take a seat on an artist-painted Muskoka chair at this Saturday’s Arts Alive. The wildly painted outdoor chairs are up for online auction with all the proceeds going to help care for B.C.’s injured and orphaned wildlife. Some of the Fraser Valley’s best known artists have lent their talents to this wild and wooly cause. There are 11 chairs with themes centered mostly around B.C. wildlife, but some have African animal themes. There is a Haida Gwaii-inspired totem pole chair by White Rock artist Bob McMurray and a raccoon faced chair that is proving popular on the auction. Artists Robert McMurray, Deborah Strong, Felicity Holmes, Freda Lombard, Debra Wright, Glenda Mantle, Mary-Lou Williams and Angela Zimmerling are among the painters who created and donated their time and talents to these chairs. “These are such beautiful chairs.

Trio teams up in quest to inspire others

G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r t s

It began as a simple website two years ago. “Just a place to post workouts and recipes and little motivational things,” explained Hailey Van Dyk. “We just thought it would be our friends.” Van Dyk collaborated with Courtney Burt on the website, Run Like A Girl. The pair graduated from R.E. Mountain Secondary a year apart — the 25-year-old Burt in 2006 and the 24-year-old Van Dyk in 2007 — but they weren’t friends in high school. They reconnected a few years later, through Facebook, when Van Dyk saw pictures of Burt running and asked to join her as a running partner. Friendship and a website — which was launched two years ago last week (Aug. 5) — followed. The website’s popularity dramatically increased after a popular North Vancouver clothing company, Arc’teryx, shared one of Run Like A Girl’s photos. “Just from that, we exploded overnight,” Van Dyk said. “It was crazy. We went international.” The website’s mission is to “inspire others to embrace fitness and health as a holistic lifestyle of the body, mind and soul.” A third partner, Dayna Egyed, joined the pair in their endeavor soon after. The 38-year-old, who grew up in Aldergrove and graduated from Aldergrove Community Secondary School, met Van Dyk through a race and heard about the website. Soon, she was also helping out. Run Like A Girl works to not only promote a healthy and active lifestyle, but to also encourage others to give back to the community. “Changing the world is hard on your own, so we enable our community to help us, by offering multiple ways to raise awareness and build support for the millions of people in need around the world,” the website reads. They have done three fundraisers. The biggest was selling T-shirts they had made to support the bombing victims of the 2013 Boston Marathon. Those shirts raised $10,000 and the money was donated to the victims of that attack. They have also held two 5-km and 10-km races in Fort Langley, raising $3,500 and $3,000, respectively, in the fight against breast cancer and childhood brain cancer. The races allow people from around the world to take part.

Dayna Egyed (left to right), Courtney Burt and Hailey Van Dyk are the founders of Run Like A Girl, which is dedicated to inspiring others to embrace fitness and health as a holistic lifestyle of the body, mind and soul. “We do offer an option for our local runners and then on the same day, our virtual runners from around the world also run,” Burt explained. Each out-of-town participant receives a racing bib, medal and T-shirt before they begin. Many times the runners then send a photo to the website. Some of the participating runners have come from all across Canada, the United States, New Zealand and even a few women from a military base in Afghanistan. The feedback the Run Like A Girl organizers have received keeps them going. “Sometimes we don’t feel we are helping

very much, but then we get all these messages and realize we are and it is a great feeling,” Egyed said. Burt said the biggest satisfaction is knowing they are helping others. “There is satisfaction in knowing we are raising money and donating it for a very good cause,” she said. “And this is providing an opportunity for people to give back to their community.” They are already planning their next event, which will be a run in Fort Langley on Oct. 5 in support of breast cancer research. They are also planning a seven-day adventure camp in November in Costa Rica

from Nov. 9 to 15. The camp is focused on getting people outdoors and active, perhaps even trying some new things. This particular camp will feature things like trail running, yoga and repelling canyons and waterfalls. Every night, the campers will debrief about the day, such as what they learned, what they shared and what they experienced. In addition, the participants will also go to one of the small towns nearby and do some humanitarian work. For more information, visit www.runlikeagirl.ca.

Bauder soaring with Sea-Hawks, Johnson sets sail with Clippers Kim Bauder is set to soar with the Memorial University Sea-Hawks. The all-star left-side hitter is off to St. John’s in the fall after a stellar high school career with the Langley Fundamental Titans. The Titans finished second at the B.C. senior girls AA provincial championships, with Bauder earning all-star accolades. She was also an all-star after helping Langley Fundamental win the Fraser Valley banner. Bauder also captained her club team with the Fraser Valley Volleyball Club the past four seasons. In addition to club and high school volleyball, Bauder has spent the past two years practising at a Volleyball Canada Centre of Excellence training centre. This would be done in the mornings before school. She was drawn to the sport after her older siblings were playing volleyball at a high level. When she began playing seriously herself, she learned what the sport meant for her. “It’s the perfect balance between mental and physical challenges,” she explained. “You can’t get by simply being strong or being smart,

the combination of the two is what intrigues me.” Her soon-to-be new coach is impressed by his recruit. “Kim has outstanding ball control skills and I really like her ability to compete,” said Memorial coach Bill Thistle. “At five-foot-nine, Kim is not a big athlete, but I believe she has a very strong mental game that will fit quite nicely with our SeaHawks. “She will develop into a leader on our team and I wouldn’t be surprised to see her grown into an all-star in the AUS (Atlantic University Sport) league.” One of Bauder’s teammates with the Titans is also off to play post-secondary volleyball. Libero Ali Johnson is joining the Briercrest College Clippers. The Caranport, Sask. school is the only non-Alberta team in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference. “Ali has great all-around skill and is a very versatile player,” said Briercrest coach Nolan Weinmaster. “Having successfully contributed to great teams at a variety of positions, I am excited about how she will bring that winning attitude

Jr. Blaze offence comes up empty G A RY A HUJA Time s Spo rts

After a season in which they were the top team from start to finish, the Langley Junior Blaze offence came up empty at the provincial championships. The U16 baseball team — the top team in the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League after sporting an impeccable 37-7 record — failed to make it out of the round-robin stage over the weekend at Victoria’s Lambrick Park. The Blaze lost 3-0 to the Whalley Junior Chiefs on Friday and then twice on Saturday, 2-1 to the Abbotsford Junior Cardinals and 4-3 to the Victoria Junior Mariners. “We just didn’t hit the ball, plain and simple,” said Langley coach Brad Kemp. “We got great pitching, like we have all season, but we just couldn’t get the timely hitting. “And we made some mental mistakes that cost us.” Kemp said the play-

ers were disappointed, especially after such a spectacular regular season. “To come up short, it is very disappointing for the boys,” he said. “(But) we learn from it and we move forward.” ••• Five players from Langley have been named to Team B.C’s Prospects roster. The team is made up of top players ages 16 and under. Twin brothers Yi-An and Yi-Fan Pan, Brodan Bydeweg, Markus Gregson and Ethan Kano-MacGregor will represent the province in Centralia, Wash. at the Pacific Northwest Championship. The tournament runs Aug. 14 to 17 The Pan brothers, Bydeweg and Gregoson play for the Langley Junior Blaze program while Kano-MacGregor played at the U18 Premier level with the Abbotsford Cardinals this past season. The Blaze’s Jesse Unger and Matthew Poirier are alternates on the team.

Xtreme tame Riot in final The regular season was all about preparation and it paid off with a provincial championship title. The last two seasons, the coaching staff of the Langley Xtreme senior B womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team has compiled a schedule that saw them play up against more A-level teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So when we get seeded for provincials, because the girls are playing that much harder because they are playing A team, it just transfers over,â&#x20AC;? explained Kerry Niven, who has coached this particular group of players for the past four seasons. Niven said the team is then able to use the experience

gained from playing a higher level competition to their advantage. And all of that paid off earlier this month, as the Xtreme captured the senior B womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title at Softball City. The championships were held Aug. 1 to 4 at Softball City in Surrey. The title did not come out of the blue, either, as the Xtreme entered three tournaments â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including provincials â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and won a pair of gold medals and a silver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was definitely some talent and there was an expectation to perform and to win,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Langley squad, made up

of women between the ages of 22 and 25, went 3-0 in the round robin and then beat the Fleetwood Force Elite 13-6 in the quarter-finals. They beat the New Westminster Riot twice to take the title, winning 8-1 in the semifinals and 7-3 in the finals. In the finals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; against a team they had mercied during round robin play â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Xtreme scored a pair of runs in the second, singles in third, fourth and fifth, and two more in the sixth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think when the Riot scored those three runs, the girls decided to finish things off and finished the game off strong,â&#x20AC;? Niven said.
