Two Langley Education Centre teachers react to honks of support on Monday morning. Teachers picketed the school board office and Langley Secondary with plans to escalate picketing this week.

Picketing may escalate this week NO INDICATION OF WHEN SCHOOL WILL BE BACK IN SESSION MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

From the honks of support on Monday, striking teachers in Langley appear to have won the war of public opinion. But the battle with the provincial government continues for the hundreds of instructors in the school district who await a contract settlement with picket signs in their hands. Two Langley Education Centre teachers, joined by CUPE support workers, were out picketing at Langley Secondary on Monday. A large contingent of CUPE workers and at least four

teachers picketed outside the Langley School Board office. None of the teachers The Times talked to knew if they would be returning to work on Sept. 2. Most said they haven’t felt a financial hit yet because they are still coming off summer holiday. They were waiting for a directive from Langley Teachers’ Association about whether picketing would escalate around Langley this week. The CUPE support workers The Times talked to said they won’t cross picket lines. Langley School District secretary-treasurer David

Green said the district does not expect any decisions to be made until at least Friday, Aug. 29, and is asking parents to check the district’s website over the long weekend for updates. The new Yorkson Middle School is ready to welcome students Sept. 2, if class is actually in session, Green said. “We remain hopeful. We’ve been told if a settlement is reached, we have to be ready to go for Tuesday,” Green said. But if no agreement is reached, parents are asked not to bring their children to school and to look for alternative care, he said. The Township and City

have created camps for kids with the City calling one of its camps “strike camp.” The Langley Centennial Museum joined forces with the Fort National Historic Site to offer kids week-long pioneer schooling. Xtreme Cheer and Dance offered a camp to 100 kids for the first week of school. That camp is full and now they are offering another camp for the second week. The government has created a website, bcparentinfo. ca for the latest bargaining news and how parents can register to get a $40 a day payment for children 12 and under.

A 65-year-old Langley man is being investigated for impaired driving after he crashed his vintage Ford convertible, causing it to erupt in flames on Sunday. Emergency responders were called at around 1 a.m. to the 22800 block of Old Yale Road for the crash. The old-style roadster was engulfed in flames and two passengers had been injured in the crash but managed to get out before the fire. The driver and his 52-year-old female passenger were both taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. Township firefighters put out the car fire but the vehicle was destroyed. Langley RCMP confirm that a sample of the driver’s blood was taken for analysis to identify if alcohol played a role and whether impaired driving charges will be recommended.

Prime minister visits Langley amidst tight security L A R G E CRO W D AT KR AUSE B ER RY FAR MS TO H E A R P M S P EA K FRAN K B U C H O LT Z Ti me s Re po r t e r

Residents in areas near 56 Avenue and 248 Street likely wondered what all the traffic and police presence was about Wednesday afternoon. It was all due to a visit from the prime minister, Stephen Harper. Harper spoke at the annual Conservative Party Lower Mainland summer barbecue, held for the first time this year at Krause Berry Farm on 248 Street. Hundreds of Conservative Party supporters from all over the Lower Mainland were in attendance, paying $35 for a chicken dinner and an opportunity to hear the prime minister speak. His speech made it clear that the unofficial campaign leading up to the next federal election, slated for October, 2015, is already underway. His primary opponents, NDP leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, are also making swings through many parts of Canada this summer. Harper, although rarely mentioning the opposition parties, vigorously defended his government’s position on many issues. He also made a blatant appeal for middle-class voters to support the Conservatives. All three party leaders are assiduously courting the middle class, not only because of their numbers, but also because many people face economic challenges, due to high debt, job losses or other circumstances. He said that Canada has a “rock solid” economy and “the best financial system in the world. More Canadians are working than at any time before in our history.” He said his government has achieved a sound fiscal position, with an expectation of a balanced budget in 2015, “not by passing schemes like the carbon tax, not by raising taxes, but by lowering them for families. “We have reduced the federal tax take by $30 billion annually, which is nearly $3,500 for every family, every year. We didn’t cut the way the Liberals cut in the 1990s, by cutting health care, education and pensions. We froze operating costs, reduced back office cost and invested in economic activity and infrastructure.” He applauded late finance minister Jim Flaherty for his hard work in that area, and the crowd gave the former minister, who passed away suddenly earlier this year, a standing ovation. Harper said the NDP and Liberals are promising to “spend, spend, spend and

We did not get there by accident — we have taken the necessary steps. Canada is headed in the right direction, and we have to make sure it keeps heading in that direction, and never look back.” After his speech, Harper, who was accompanied by his wife Laureen, spent an hour posing for pictures with barbecue attendees. A line to have photos taken quickly formed, and at least 150 people were in it shortly after his speech ended. Langley MP Mark Warawa acted as master of ceremonies at the event, attended by many MPS, MLAs and local politicians.

Suspect in accidental shooting arrested INCIDENT OCCURRED JU LY 21 IN C LO VERDAL E A 27-year-old Langley man has been arrested, accused of accidentally shooting a friend in the leg in an incident that occurred one month ago at a home in Cloverdale. In the early morning hours of Aug. 20, officers arrested Robert Miskenack following a search warrant being served at a residence in the 15300 block of 27A Avenue. Due to the suspect’s history, a number of officers from specialized sections assisted in the arrest, including the Surrey RCMP’s High Risk Target Team (HRTT) and the Emergency Response Team (ERT) as well as the Police Dog Services. Miskenack is currently in custody facing eight charges, including aggravated assault, assault, and six firearms related charges. He makes his next court appearance Aug. 28. On July 21, around 4:30 p.m., Surrey RCMP received a call from a woman who resides in the area of 187 Street and 60A Avenue, saying that a man had accidentally shot his friend in the leg.

Police attended to the scene and located a man in his 20s with a single gunshot to his leg. The suspect had fled. The injured man was taken to hospital in stable condition. The victim was not co-operating with police. The suspect was last seen leaving the area on a motorcycle at a high rate of speed. Officers with the Surrey RCMP’s Neighbourhood Liaison Unit have also followed up with the property owners of the residence where the initial incident took place, to ensure that some of the nuisance activity at that residence is properly being dealt with, said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr.

a field east of Langley Airport Friday night, at about 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The plane flipped onto its roof while apparently coming in for a landing. Langley RCMP say the male pilot was uninjured, while a female passenger was shaken up. The Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of the crash.

TRAIN VS. TRUCK River Road was closed part of Friday as a result of a trucktrain crash on a private crossing near Armstrong Road. The truck apparently stalled on the tracks while a westbound CP coal train was approaching. The cab ended up on one side of the tracks, while the trailer landed in the ditch on the other side. The road was closed between Armstrong and 240 Street for most of the morning. There were no injuries.

‘Unelection campaign’ begins in Langley Township The 2014 Langley Township municipal election will feature an active effort by a new “Unelection Campaign” to get voters to defeat five incumbent members of council. The Unelection Campaign put its website up on Monday, and issued a press release about its intentions. The four identified members of the Unelection executive are Andy Schildhorn, Lee Lockwood, Anna R. (who refuses to give her last name) and Bob Duncan. Schildhorn was part of a committee that filed and won a lawsuit against Langley Township’s approval of the Coulter Berry building in Fort Langley. That victory has now been overturned in court, and the building is under construction. Lockwood, an Aldergrove resident, has been involved in a number of issues over the year, primarily involving rural and transportation issues. Duncan was part of a campaign against Athenry Development’s plans for a multifamily residential development on property adjacent to Willoughby Hall on 208 Street, citing the effect on neighbours to the north with single-family homes. The development is underway, and part of it involved relocation and renovation of Willoughby Hall. “Anna R.” was one of a large number of Brookswood and Fernridge residents who fought against a proposed Official Community Plan for the area, one that council voted against after several days of public hearings. A new plan is expect-

A new group called “The Unelection Campaign” has the potential to change the makeup of Langley Township council. However, that all depends on whether the group can convince people who don’t usually vote to take part in this year’s election campaign — and that is a very tall order. The executive committee of Unelection have, as individuals, all fought with council over specific issues. These range from development in Willoughby to the Coulter Berry building in Fort Langley and the proposed OCP for Brookswood-Fernridge. There is no doubt that many people in the Township have concerns about these and other issues, and as the Unelection Campaign website notes, “we have the responsibility to un-elect council members when their actions and behaviour no longer reflect the values and wishes of the electorate.” In the last municipal election in 2011, there was a hardfought three-way race for mayor. There had been a lot of concerns about a variety of council decisions, and the atmosphere at council meetings was often very toxic. Many people, including those working at this newspaper, made a concerted efforts to boost voter turnout. When voters finally cast ballots, the turnout at the polls was up by about 4,000. This was very positive, but the actual turnout rate was less than 26 per cent. All six councillors seeking re-election won again, with the mayor losing. Despite all the infighting at council and a three-way race for mayor, 74 per cent of the eligible voters in Langley Township stayed home. This year, there is no credible challenger to the mayor in sight. There are some solid new candidates for councillor, but it is quite likely all eight incumbents will run again. The Unelection Campaign website is hoping to help educate voters. While it has a built-in bias against five of the nine members of the current council, rating their performance with “Fs,” more information about who’s running and what positions each candidate takes is always helpful. Perhaps the most important point the organization makes is that voters do not have to select eight people when they vote for councillor. This often leads to incumbents getting in, simply because they are well-known. It is perfectly sound to vote for one, two or three people for the councillor position. The Unelection Campaign says “When you’re ready to vote, vote only for the candidates you like.” That’s sound advice.

Holding all the cards they

With a little more than a week left before students are supposed to return to the classroom, there seems little reason to think they will. Despite insistence from both sides that they want an agreement reached by Sept. 2, school yards will likely remain silent. Indeed, as the clock ticked down Thursday, government and the teachers’ union were still trading shots, this time over Education Minister Peter Fassbender’s comments in the media that, according to the BC Teachers’ Federation, broke an agreed-to media blackout. Of course, few believed that the two sides would find a negotiated settlement amid the lazy days of summer. The trajectory has always been toward a final showdown — one that is still coming. It is, after all, the government that holds all the cards. The BC Liberals are early in their (strong) mandate, meaning they are better able to weather the public backlash over the dispute. They have in their pocket a raft of public sector settlements that suggest a negotiated agreement is possible. And while there are many who are angered by the government’s bargaining tactics, there are many others who argue the BCTF is asking too much and teachers have gone too far. The BCTF has played its hand poorly. It has underestimated the will of a government weary of more than two decades of conflict. — Chilliwack Progress

Iconic Canadian character marks 100 years Editor: In honour of the 100th anniversary of a certain beloved Canadian children’s character: “It wasn’t a grizzly, that’s true — And for sure not a black bear”, said Lou. Then it dawned on him “Amos, We’re gonna be famous ‘Cause we just bagged Winnie the Pooh.” ((No nasty responses please — it’s only a joke.) BARRY WHAITES, LANGLEY

Sad to see Reekie step down Editor: I was sincerely saddened to read Cecelia Reekie’s letter (The Times, Aug. 19) notifying the public that she will not be seeking re-election as a Langley Board of Education trustee this November. She is a dear friend, and I believe this decision must have weighed heavily on her. I know that she holds our district’s educators in highest esteem and takes pride in working together with all partner groups. She found so much joy in visiting Langley schools. Many of our discussions centred on the children and educators she had met, the conversations they had shared, and all of the amazing things she had seen happening in our schools. I know she is proud to serve all of the children of Langley. I have learned much by watching her serve as a public figure for the past few years. She was honoured

to be the first Aboriginal person elected as a Langley school trustee, and took great pride in representing not only the public, but her family and her First Nations culture. Some of the consistent messages she brought to students, educators C EC ELIA and the REEK IE public were: • Embrace and be proud of who you are – your identity, your culture, and the unique gifts that you have to share with the world; • Work together – create and value relationships by learning about others’ gifts, perspectives and experiences; • Walk softly – listen more

than talk, use gentle words, and be careful with others’ hearts. I imagine that finding a balance between public and private life is difficult not only on public figures, but for their family members as well. While I am happy for her, as my friend, that she will be able to spend more time with her family, as an educator, I believe that she has left a huge hole that will not be filled, and am truly saddened for Langley’s loss of a genuine advocate for vulnerable children and public education. I am grateful for the gifts Reekie shared with our district, and look forward to seeing what endeavours she chooses to partake in the future. I would be proud to paddle next to her in whatever direction she chooses to go. DAWNE EDWARDS,

AL BALOGH,

Editor: Education Minister Peter Fassbender has to be kidding, with his comment about being ready to negotiate 24/7 with the B.C. Teachers Federation. I say to him, you have no idea what the word “negotiate” means. As he is a former local civic official, I find this hard to believe. I’m sure he has negotiated with Langley City workers in his time as mayor. What’s so different this time? I’m convinced he and the government don’t want to negotiate, they simply want to get their version of a contract. As much as he keeps arguing that teachers are asking for too much, that it goes beyond “affordability” in achieving a balanced budget, how is the government paying to fight forest fires when many of them do not endanger people? The media is reporting that the government has already outspent its budget on forest fires, so stop wasting our money. What about the money it must be spending bePETER cause of the tailings pond FASSB ENDER spill in the Cariboo? Did it have a line item in the budget for that? What happens when the mining company runs out of money in order to finish the cleanup? How will the government pay for that? It all comes down to political will. If the government really wanted to reach an agreement with the BCTF, Fassbender would be sitting at the same table as Jim Iker, working on solutions to get kids back to school. Maybe the government could spare a little extra cash from its legislative building gardening budget to do some weeding at some Langley school properties. I can’t remember the last time I saw a nicely landscaped garden around our schools. The minister should earn his money and get back to real bargaining. That’s the least B.C.’s kids and parents deserve. PAUL MILETTE,

New RV rules not a break for owners Editor: As a past contributor to your column, and as a strong advocate for RV owners, it was with great interest that I read the article A break for RV owners, (The Times, July 22). While I thank the council for this action, it is by no means a “break” for RV owners. Said owners, like myself, who exercised all due diligence prior to the purchase of their RVs, are still subject to enforcement action as a result of the Township’s stubborn, and in my mind, illegal (if not immoral) unwillingness to recognize the “grandfather” rights afforded these people by paragraph 911 of the Local Government Act. Further, it was identified by a report to council in 2007 that the parking of recreational vehicles in driveways leads to an increase in demand for on-street parking. This was the reason for the bylaw in the first place. It seems odd to me that its OK to have a parking problem during the summer months, but not winter. With respect to the parking problem identified in the 2007 report, which referred to complaints regarding the increased demand for on street parking, my Freedom of Information requests

found that, in fact, there were no documented cases of said complaints. In summary, as I have previously stated (in previous letters), a bylaw was created, to solve a problem, for which no documentation exists. In the fall of 2013, bylaw enforcement was very quick to issue tickets in my immediate neighbourhood after the Sept. 15 deadline, yet once again they were very selective despite their new policy which reads: “Enforcement action is taken only … When a recreational vehicle is parked in the front yard in an “R” or single family residential “CD” zone between Sept. 16 and May 14.” Despite this policy, there were three non-compliances in my immediate vicinity that were untouched by bylaw enforcement. And north of 27 Avenue in Aldergrove seems to be a bylaw enforcement-free zone. Council created its own parking problems with the disaster known as Willoughby, where I can see the need for a bylaw such as this. Said council was willing to entertain a specific bylaw with respect to a specific area with respect to tree-cutting issues in Brookswood. If this area of Langley is entitled to

Fassbender, government don’t want to negotiate

special consideration, then it is time to address the RV issue in the same manner. In other words, if there is a problem in a certain area, then deal with that area, and that area only. It was my action in May of 2013 that lead to the development of the current policy. Normally, at most levels of government, when new polices, procedures and or regulations are being promulgated, there is time allotted for research, development, notice to affected stakeholders, and consultation with all who may have a concern. Regrettably, there were no notices or consultation from any member of Township staff with myself or anyone who may represent RV owners. I was shocked to see the new policy published, with no advance communication from the Township. Once again, while I thank council for this measure, please now go the extra distance, do the research, find out what the real problems are and address them accordingly, rather than making us all suffer due to the poor decisions made by others.

You & The Law

PRESENTS How not to hurt your injury case FR ANK B UCHOLTZ L an gley Tim es

The 2014 addition to the historic apple orchard at Fort Langley National Historic Park was planted Saturday by three people named as environmental heroes for 2014, in a program sponsored annually by MP Mark Warawa (right). This year’s honourees are Dianne Kask, a teacher at Parkside Centennial Elementary, Les Clay of the Arboretum and Botanical Society of Langley and Kristin Cassie, principal of Roots And Wings Montessori School.

Suppose you’re a pedestrian crossing an intersection on a green light. A car stopped at the intersection turns left into your marked crosswalk and hits you. You see the car coming and push off its hood. An eye witness says you’re lifted up into the air some five to eight feet and land on the road about 10 feet away. The driver admits it’s all her fault. An ambulance is called, the police come too, and you’re rushed to hospital. There’s no question you should get compensation – so how could you damage your case?

Since so much of what Sean told his doctors was, at best, a huge stretch, the medical opinions based on that information were heavily discounted. Said the court: “The difficulty with such inconsistent reporting of the accident, specifically the distance that [Sean] might have been thrown… is that subsequent expert reports… were based on an exaggerated set of facts… The weight to be given to those reports is significantly diminished – perhaps to a level where they are almost worthless.”

A recent case shows that, while the court will still give you fair compensation for your actual injuries, your exaggerations will undermine your experts’ evidence. And though you win, the court might award legal costs against you too, which could eat significantly into your compensation.

Sean claimed roughly one-half to one million dollars for a supposedly catastrophic accident. But he ended up with $32,500 for pain and suffering, about $15,000 for past wage loss and $3,000 for out-of pocket costs, for what was a minor accident without significant injuries. And rather than reimbursing Sean for some of his legal fees by awarding legal costs in his favour (as is normal for a winning claimant), the court left the question of such costs – substantial in a 12-day trial – open for later argument.

Here, Sean (name changed) told his doctors that he was thrown some 15 feet up into the air by the impact, and landed 30 to 40 feet away from the car that struck him. Though he spoke to the police and ambulance personnel at the scene, and the hospital recorded he never lost consciousness, he also told one doctor that he became unconscious.

If you’re involved in a car accident, promptly seek legal advice, and make sure you don’t hurt your own case.

Various tests done at the hospital the night of the accident showed no broken bones or cuts, only blunt trauma and some bruises. His accident injuries were soft-tissue ones which healed over time. Neurological (brain)

DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

More than a year after a crackdown against illegal secondary suites was approved, Langley Township staff have located 450 of the estimated 10,000 currently being rented by owners without proper municipal approval. That amounts to less than five per cent since the new regulations were approved in March of 2013, but a report to council says the number of complaints being filed is rising and predicts “900 to 1,000” suites, or about 10 per cent, will be identified by the end of the year. The written report by Roberto Cesaretti, the Township manager of permit, licence and inspections services, says staff have been looking through newspaper and online rental ads for unauthorized suites, as well

as following up on complaints made by phone or using the online “Report an Unauthorized Secondary Suite” form on the Township website. Anonymous tips are allowed, both by phone and online. When a secondary suite is discovered in a house where no building permit was issued for one, Township building inspection staff are hand-delivering notices to the owner warning they could be fined as much as $500 a ticket (with multiple tickets possible) for failing to obtain a licence. Cesaretti says “significant” resources are being devoted to the campaign against the illicit suites, including re-assigning one current staff member to administer the program full-time. Council has approved funding to add one person to handle the

secondary suite work, but the job hasn’t been filled yet, Cesaretti says. Of the 450 suites identified so far, the report says 150 are being brought into compliance with the regulations that require registration. The crackdown was announced at the same time council approved an annual secondary suite licence fee on homeowners with authorized suites. It requires the 1,100 homeowners who have properly registered their suites to pay as much as $580 a year. Critics have called the new fee a cash grab by the municipality that penalizes the law-abiding. Defenders say the new fees will generate enough revenue to cover the cost of stepped-up enforcement against law-breakers.

West Nile virus found in two horses During the past two weeks, two horses in the Cache Creek area have shown clinical signs of West Nile virus infection, says Langley veterinarian John Twidale. In a press release, he said “Blood tests on both horses show high levels of antibody against the virus, indicating active infection.” For many years, vets and horse owners have been expecting to see the virus in B.C., as it has been active in all the western provinces and U.S. states. “It appears this will be our year,” Twidale said. Clinical signs include muscle tremors of the face, chest and body, weakness in the hind legs, fever, depression and in severe cases inability to stand, caused

by the virus attacking the brain and spinal cord nerves, similar to polio in humans. Treatment of affected horses can only be supportive, as antibiotics are not effective against virus infection. Vaccination prior to exposure is the only way to prevent infection, and it is too late to vaccinate after symptoms appear. Most horse owners are well aware of the dangerous consequences of West Nile infection and vaccinate annually, but many have decided to take a chance and miss annual booster shots. Veterinarians strongly recommend that all horses receive an annual booster vaccine to ensure a high level of immunity. Even if the horse has missed a

year or two, a booster shot will restore immunity in a few days. If a horse has never been vaccinated for West Nile, he should receive two doses, two to four weeks apart, then one annually. In addition to vaccination, horse owners should take precautions to reduce the mosquito populations around the barn and pasture areas, avoid having horses out when mosquitoes are active, and use fly sheets and face masks when horses are turned out. “West Nile is a serious disease where prevention is better than cure, as there is no certainty that the horse will survive the acute infection, or may be left with long term muscle weakness and unsound for use,” he said.

Health Matters

Vitamin D is certainly the star of the moment, but some of the hype appears justified. New research is supporting the correlation of low vitamin D levels with the progression of Multiple Sclerosis. It remains unclear whether vitamin D supplementation can alter, or even prevent, the development of MS, but several studies are now underway to look at this question. It’s important to understand as much as possible about chronic and incurable conditions, such as Multiple Sclerosis, as this can lead to novel therapies or prevention. With MS, it has now been shown that those who are obese at age 20 have twice the risk of developing MS later in life. Treatments can be aimed at reducing the damaging inflammation due to leptin (which comes with obesity) and prevention via weight management. A pilot study out of Dallas is already demonstrating the benefits of yoga for managing Multiple Sclerosis. A specifically designed program lead to improvements in walking ability, balance, fatigue, and general health status, and even

seemed to help control inflammation. The benefits were seen in as little as eight weeks, with two 90-minute sessions per week. It looks like yoga BOB SANGHA could form a reasonable Pharmacist, BSc part of MS management! A new drug for treating Multiple Sclerosis is making its way onto the market: dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera). It is gaining approval as a first-line treatment of the relapsing-remitting form of MS and appears to be well-tolerated with side-effects such as flushing and gastro-intestinal symptoms, which generally subside over the first month. It also requires monitoring of liver and kidney function as well as blood counts. Multiple Sclerosis is a progressive condition due to damage of the myelin sheath of nerve fibres that leads to numbness and loss of motor function.

Vision is to empower women in other parts of the world From Page 11

for all that Rotary International stands for. We have seen her in action as she has served both her community here in Langley and has served the poor and needy overseas. “Her vision to empower women and children in developing countries to pull themselves out of poverty to support their families through micro-business is exciting.” “It’s an honour to be chosen to represent my country as well as our wonderful Rotary club here in Langley,” Vankevich said. “I’ve seen the influence of Rotary both here at home and around the world, and I’m proud to be part of what it represents— hard work, integrity and service above self. My grandfather and my parents taught me to ask myself the questions in Rotary’s ‘Four Way Test,’ “Is it the Truth? Is it Fair to All Concerned? Will it Build Goodwill and better Friendships? Will it be Beneficial to all Concerned? “I’m so grateful for the mentorship of Langley’s Rotarians in my life. It was the late Eric Bysouth, long-time Langley Rotarian, who was the first Rotarian to take me under his wing. I am confident that if he were here today, he would be proud

of what we have accomplished at Langley Rotary. I hope to honour his memory by advancing Rotary ideals both in the U.K. and the world.” While serving as president of the Langley Rotaract Club (Rotary for young professionals), Vankevich hosted events to raise funds and awareness for Wagner Hills Farms, Ratanak International, which works to rescue young girls from the sex trade in Cambodia, Wellspring International’s educational work in Rwanda, and Opportunity International for supporting micro-financing in developing countries. She has also volunteered at Harrison Landing seniors’ home, and with children at Langley Evangelical Free Church. Last summer, she volunteered with an organization called “Mission in the Amazon,” to do humanitarian work with the indigenous peoples of the Peruvian Amazon rain forest, working to both teach English and help rebuild houses after flooding damage. She was recently recognized as one of Vancouver’s Top 24 under 24, and in May of this year she was chosen to be an inspirational speaker and coach at the Rotary’s International Youth

Convention for RYLA in Sydney, Australia, where she inspired the delegates to find a need in the world where they can be a part of the solution. She used her current job as an example of how one person found a need in the world and filled it. “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with a visionary like John Volken,” she said. He saw the need for long-term drug and alcohol recovery, and set his focus on researching and creating what we believe to be the leading recovery centre in the world — right here in the Fraser Valley. It is called ‘Welcome Home-Life Skills Academy.” Students aged 18 to 34 can get a new start in life while they learn life skills and job skills at the store he opened so they could have a place to work, Price Pro, on King George Highway in Surrey. Wayne Wiebe, past district governor of Rotary District 5050 added, “We were proud to nominate Lexi for the global scholarship based on her outstanding academic achievement at Trinity Western University, her tireless volunteer service here in Langley and overseas, and for her potential for global leadership.”

Mayors are ‘foolish’ to join TransLink board POLITICIANS TAKE DIRECTOR SEATS THEY ONCE SPURNED

JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Metro Vancouver mayors have voted to send two representatives to sit as paid directors on the otherwise appointed and unelected TransLink board, reversing their previous rejection of the offer by the province. The chair and vice-chair of the TransLink mayors’ council — North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton and New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright — will take the two new seats on the usually nine-member professional board, which grows to 11 directors. Joining the closed-door deliberations of the board will give the two mayors more insight and perhaps some influence, but not the restoration of full control over TransLink’s budget by elected reps that Metro mayors have repeatedly demanded. It was that insistence as well as a fear of being co-opted that led them to reject the provincial offer of two board seats in 2012. The latest changes to TransLink governance by the province this spring gives mayors control over executive pay and TransLink’s long-term vision, while the annual budget and operational control remains with the board. Walton said most mayors feel it’s time to take the seats and try to work co-operatively with both the board and the province, which is supposed to name its own two directors to the board in January. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan calls it a mistake. “It was a foolish move,” he said. “What’s going to happen is the mayors’ council is going to be blamed for each and every thing that happens at TransLink.” Corrigan said mayoral directors might be lobbied by other mayors for transit upgrades in their cities, possibly in exchange for votes to retain their lucrative positions. “It won’t be in an open debate, it will be who can persuade them to do something for them in relation to transit service in their own communities,” he said. Corrigan also predicts Walton and Wright will be muzzled from publicly disclosing all board deliberations. “They’re going to have to be part of the secrecy that has been the hallmark of the TransLink board since the provincial government made the legislative changes,” Corrigan said, referring to the 2008 TransLink overhaul that created the professional board and relegated politicians to approving tax hikes. Walton and Wright will be paid the same as the other nine professional directors who sit on TransLink’s board. They each collect close to $50,000 a year, depending on the number of meetings they attend. Walton, who previously described the optics of accepting extra pay as a director as “problematic” but now says he’s “indifferent” to it, did not vote on the issue during the July 29 closed-door meeting of the mayors’ council. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said Walton has until now received $5,000 a year for his work chairing the mayors’ council and Wright got nothing as vice chair, adding directors’ pay for serving on the board will now more appropriately compensate them for the work they put in on TransLink matters. Moore said it was time to take the seats to try to “bridge the gap” with the province on issues such as the expected TransLink referendum on transit expansion, which requires a shared vision by mayors, the province and other partners. “If we didn’t give it a shot it’s tough for us to say it’s not working,” Moore said. “If it works, great. If it doesn’t work, we’ve tried our best to make it work.” Walton said he’s hopeful the TransLink board will become more open and make fewer decisions in camera.

Golden opportunity RON SHORE’S EPIC TREASURE HUNT RAISING MONEY FOR BREAST CANCER RESEARCH BR ENDA ANDER SON Tim es Reporter

JAMES INGLIS L an gley Tim es

The Maltese Eagle, a solid gold, diamond-encrusted statue valued at $6 million, was on display at the Fort Langley Studio on Saturday night. Owner Ron Shore (top right) unveiled the sculpture, which he commissioned as part of his World’s Greatest Treasure Hunt, and spoke about his efforts to raise millions of dollars for breast cancer research through sales of his book. Buried in the book are clues which will eventually lead a reader to the grand prize of $1 million. Two more eagles, one silver and one gold, will be on display, and for sale, at the Fort Langley Studio for several weeks.

Pure gold to its core and covered in diamonds, the Maltese Eagle may be worth millions of dollars. But what the artwork represents to its owner is perhaps more valuable than cash. If Fraser Valley businessman Ron Shore has his way, the sculpture will play a pivotal role in the hunt for a cure for breast cancer. On Saturday, the Maltese Eagle — an 18 pound, solid gold, jewel-encrusted sculpture of an eagle perched, with its wings slightly spread — landed at an art gallery in Fort Langley. It was placed on display for the evening on Saturday, Aug. 23 at the Fort Langley Studio, where owners Curtis Zondag and Laura Murphy will continue to exhibit two similar sculptures of the majestic raptor — both also cast in precious metals — for the next few weeks. And, with luck, find buyers for all three of the statues. “Waiting to Soar” is a solid silver eagle, with sapphires eyes. It stands approximately 23 cm tall and weighs 5,236 grams. It is for sale at a price of $35,880, while “Phoenix” is cast in bronze and plated with 24K gold and nickel. Its breast and eyes are fitted with cubic zirconia. It can be purchased for $24,880 But there is far more to all of these birds than meets the eye. The sculptures are all connected to “The World’s Greatest Treasure Hunt: Quest for the Golden Eagle” an adventure book conceived and written by Shore. Inside its pages lie a series of puzzles and clues that will eventually lead a savvy reader to a $1 million grand prize, hidden somewhere in the world. For those who need a little help deciphering Shore’s hidden messages, the author has also put together a code-breaking primer. One hundred per cent of net proceeds from book sales are earmarked for breast cancer research through Shore’s Hunt for the Cause Foundation. When the treasure hunt was first conceived, The Maltese Eagle, created by B.C. artist Kevin Peters was intended to be the top prize. Once it was appraised and found to be worth several million dollars, however, the plan was revised. Instead, readers are challenged to read the book and solve the clues hidden in each of its 12 chapters to discover the locations of one of a dozen solid silver eagles valued at $20,000 each. Solving all the clues in the book will yield the $1 million grand prize.

Shore, a graduate of Trinity Western University, is a Fraser Valley businessman who was moved to raise money for breast cancer research following the death of his sister-in-law, who passed away two days after giving birth to a daughter. It was sometime in late winter or early spring of this year that he strolled into the Fort Langley Studio and struck up a conversation with Zondag and Murphy. He shared his story and together, they arranged to place the two smaller sculptures on display in the couple’s gallery for several weeks this summer, with the eagles’ unveiling to the community scheduled for last Saturday. Two days before the event, the couple learned that when Shore came to speak about his project he would be bringing the Maltese Eagle along with him. The largest known solid gold statue of its kind, the eagle features 763 diamonds at a total of 56 carats. Mounted between its talons is the Atocha Star Emerald, which was recovered from the 1622 wreck of a Spanish galleon. “It looked amazing,” said Murphy. Appraised at around $6 million, it is for sale through The Fort Langley Studio at $5 million. According to Shore’s website, upon the statue’s purchase, $1 million will be donated to the breast cancer-related charity of the buyer’s choosing.

LFAS graduate’s show first of many, say gallery owners Saturday’s opening at the Fort Langley Studio also marked the debut of works by several local artists, including Lori McPhee, Lisa Wolfin, Nadie Gelata, Marc Baur, Julia Nowakowski, and Susan Galick. Also on display at the studio for the next three weeks will be work by Langley Fine Arts School graduate Julia Nowakowski, who,

accoring to gallery owners Curtis Zondag and Laura Murphy, is bound for the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, this fall. The couple discovered the multi-media artist when they dropped the school’s year-end art show to scope out new talent. Her work impressed the gallery owners so greatly, that they of-

fered her a show. From charcoal to oil, acrylics, paper and photography, Nowakowski’s materials include “everything she can get her hands on, really,” said Murphy. The student artist, who sold three pieces on opening night, is the first to receive a $150 endowment from the gallery, which is awarded as display space.

“We really want people to be able to have their first show in a real gallery.” The fact her opening took place on the same night as The Maltese Eagle was unveiled worked out well, added Zondag. Zondag and Murphy celebrated the one-year anniversary of their gallery on June 29. Just over a year ago, they opened

their business with the idea that original art should be for everyone — not just a particular segment of society. “We began that way, and we’ve kept that,” said Murphy. The Fort Langley Studio is open each Tuesday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Fridays from noon to 6 p.m. Weekends from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is closed Mondays.

Kwantlen Chorus looks to community for singers If you like to sing, the Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) ChorusÂ wants to hear from you. The acclaimed KPU Chorus has a longstanding tradition of bringing KPU music students, faculty, staff and people in the community together in song. Now the chorus wants to expand its community membership along with the number and variety of choral work it does. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are on the verge of significant growth and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eager to tap the talent that is all around us in our communities,â&#x20AC;? saidÂ Gail Suderman, KPUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, voice and choral studies. Earlier this year, the 60-mem-

ber KPU Chorus was accompanied by members of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and the Vancouver Opera Orchestra in a hugely successful performance of Mozart to an audience of more than 600 at Fraserview Church in Richmond. The concert generated substantial interest among music organizations, which have since been inquiring about the possibility of the KPU Chorus taking part in other joint projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be such a great experience for our members to work with other musical groups, but in order for that to happen we need to cultivate a large and consistent choir membership

beyond our student component,â&#x20AC;? saidÂ Suderman. Suderman is looking for community members â&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly tenors and basses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who want a community choir to call their own. The KPU Chorus rehearses on Tuesday evenings at KPU Langley, 20901 Langley Bypass. Registration for new members will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 2 at 6:45 p.m. For more information on the KPU Chorus, contact Suderman at 604-599-3237 or email gail.suderman@kpu.ca. More information on the KPU music department is available atÂ kpu. ca/arts/music or facebook.com/ kwantlenmusic.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Today’s kids are busier than ever before Commitments in the classroom coupled with a full slate of extracurricular activities have ensured that many of today’s school-aged children don’t have a minute to spare. While it’s important for kids to embrace extracurricular activities, parents know it’s not always easy helping kids Ànd the right activity that allows them to grow outside the classroom while still focusing on their responsibilities inside it. In addition, kids’ interests tend to change at the drop of a hat, so something they want to do today might bore them come tomorrow. To help kids choose and manage their extracurricular activities, consider the following tips. • Emphasize that schoolwork must come Àrst. Kids get excited about extracurricular activities, especially ones involving sports where they get to spend time playing with their friends. But parents should emphasize that school still comes Àrst and that, if schoolwork starts to suffer, participation in extracurricular activities will be put on hold until kids get their studies back on track. • Go over coursework at the start of the school year. Examine a child’s course load before choosing an extracurricular activity. It’s im-

portant to do this each year, as coursework gets more difÀcult as children get older. Just because a child could handle a couple of afterschool activities a week when he or she was in Àfth grade does not mean such a schedule will be as manageable when the same child reaches high school. Go over coursework and requirements as early as possible, preferably before the school year starts, so you and your child can get a grip on what can and can’t be handled with regards to extracurricular activities. • Get a grasp of the commitment required of a given activity. Extracurricular activities require various levels of commitment. Varsity sport participation, for example, typically requires daily commitment and often requires kids to participate on weekends or even the sport’s “off-season,” However, volunteering with a local charity likely won’t require such a large commitment and such charities often allow volunteers to choose their own schedules. Parents and their children should consider the level of commitment an extracurricular requires and choose the activity they’re most comfortable with.

• Don’t overlook the social beneÀts of extracurricular activities. When helping kids choose an extracurricular activity, it’s important to leave the ultimate decision in their hands. After all, kids won’t get much of the experience if they’re reluctant to participate. However, parents should not overlook the social beneÀts of extracurricular activities. Consider those beneÀts when helping kids choose activities, especially if they’re likely to choose solitary activities like learning a musical instrument. It’s good to encourage such interests, but also try to encourage a balance between solitary activities and ones that encourage socialization with peers, such as a sports team, debate club or volunteering with other students at a local charity. • Don’t forget the fun factor. If kids aren’t having fun or showing any interest in a given extracurricular activity, then help them Ànd another one. Kids need time to have fun away from school just like adults need time for fun away from the ofÀce. Weigh how enjoyable a given activity Àgures to be for your youngster before signing them up.

Parents want their kids to be as healthy as possible.

quent headaches might also be suffering from nearsightedness. Doctors recommend that kids have their eyes examined at six months, three years of age and prior to entering the Àrst grade. But even if kids have passed previous eye examinations at each of those benchmarks, it’s best to take them for another exam the moment a vision problem is suspected.

Children who appear to be struggling to see distant objects clearly should be taken for an eye exam. When a child is diagnosed as being nearsighted, the doctor will likely prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses. Poor hand-eye coordination could be the result of a vision impairment. Children who tilt their head to one side to im-

prove vision might be suffering from a vision problem that makes it difÀcult for them to look directly down. Vision problems can negatively affect how a child performs in school as well as in social situations. Though such vision problems are not always preventable, parents who can identify them can greatly minimize their effects.

BACK TO SCHOOL Decreasing family screen time

Everything you need in one place, at a great price!

Planners & Calendars Writing & Colouring Supplies

Smartphones and tablets appear to have staying power. The Pew Research Center conÀrms that smartphone penetration has surpassed the 50 percent mark among mobile subscribers. Many others are routinely using tablets to access books, television shows, movies, and magazines. In multi-screen homes, televisions are still king. According to a 2012 Nielsen report, the average American over the age of two spends more than 34 hours a week, or more than 4 hours per day, watching live television. Those Àndings should raise an eyebrow, as health experts warn that excessive screen time can be hazardous to one’s health. A sedentary lifestyle spent in front of computers and video game consoles contributes to poor health. Of the leading industrialized countries, the United States has the highest obesity statistics, and Canada is not far behind. Obesity can impact cholesterol, cardiovascular health, risk for type 2 diabetes, and risk for stroke. Excessive screen time can lead to sleep and eating disorders, interfere with a person’s ability to focus and negatively affect a person’s performance at school or work. Getting a family active and reducing time spent in front of a screen can have profound effects, and reducing screen time doesn’t have to be difÀcult. *

* Keep televisions out of the bedroom. Children who have televisions in their bedrooms tend to watch an additional 90 minutes of programming per day than those who do not have televisions in their room. Keep the television in a shared area of the house so that time spent watching the TV can be monitored and adjusted. * Establish guidelines. Set Àrm limits on how much screen time will be allowed per day and stick with it. Adults can lead by example.

* Be steadfast. Do not throw in the towel too soon. Families should stand their ground when attempting to decrease their screen time in favor of healthier activities.

Put this in the slow cooker the night before, and breakfast is served. A hearty breakfast that’s easy to do!

* Hide devices. The mantra, “out of sight, out of mind” can work with respect to digital devices. If tablets or smartphones are tucked away, family members may feel less inclined to reach for them at any given time. Just as you wouldn’t stock your pantry full of fattening foods while trying to lose weight, don’t make digital devices readily available throughout the day.

* Plan more family activities. Boredom can easily give way to time spent fooling around on the Internet or channel surÀng. Parents should have a cache of ideas at the ready that promote active family time. Neighborhood walks or tossing around a baseball in the yard are enjoyable activities that cut back on time spent being sedentary. Encourage indoor activities, such as puzzles or board games, if the weather is not cooperating.

Calculators, Pens & More! right here at Dollars & Cents

Gradually implement changes. Families immersed in electronic devices can cut down on screen time slowly and over the course of several weeks rather than tuning out cold turkey. Start by reducing time spent watching television or playing video games by one hour per week, and gradually reduce time spent devoted to such activities in the ensuing weeks.

Place the steel cut oats, water, apple, raisins, butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract into a slow cooker, and stir to combine and dissolve the sugar. Cover the cooker, set to low, and allow to cook 6 to 7 hours (for firm oats) or 8 hours (for softer texture).

Make ahead Breakfast Cookies 1 dozen 1 cup walnuts, chopped finely in food processor 1-1/2 cups large flake rolled oats 1/3 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup ground flax meal 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 cup almond butter 1/4 cup canola oil 2/3 cup brown sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup raisins 1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Mix rolled oats, walnuts, whole wheat flour, flax meal, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined. Combine the almond butter, canola oil, agave nectar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract; fold in raisins and chocolate chips. Mix the walnut-oatmeal mixture into the almond butter mixture (dough will be very thick). Scoop up heaping teaspoons of dough, and form into balls; lay the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and flatten the cookies with a spatula. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheets before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.

The rhythmic sound of the fans beating their drums filled the air as the Six Nations Arrows celebrated the dying seconds of game six of the Minto Cup championships. And when the final whistle sounded at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday evening, the Arrows’ players spilled off the bench and onto the floor, setting off a jubilant celebration as Six Nations was crowned the junior A lacrosse champions of Canada. The Arrows defeated the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs 14-8 to win the best-of-seven championship series four games to two. “It is hard to explain,” said Arrows captain Johnny Powless, when asked how it felt to win the Minto Cup. “This means the world to us; it is a dream come true,” he said. “I have a lot of family and cousins on the team; I grew up with all these guys, so that makes it even more special.” Powless, playing with a broken hand, finished with six goals and 21 assists in the six games series. He earned the most valuable player award. Coquitlam won games one and two before Six Nations reeled off four straight victories to win their third Minto Cup, and first since 2007. Eastern teams have now won four straight Minto Cups and eight of the past nine. In Saturday’s clinching game, Six Nations nursed a 6-5 lead after two period before the Adanacs struck for a pair of power-play goals 46 seconds apart early in the third period to pull ahead. But the Arrows went on a run, scoring eight of the final nine goals — although a few were into the empty net — for the series-clinching victory. After Coquitlam won the first two games, the Arrows team — as well as all their family and supporters who made the trip

west — went to the Squamish First Nations reserve on an offday prior to game three. “They put on a dinner for us and made everyone feel real welcome,” said Six Nations coach Marshall Abrams. In total, about 140 people from the Six Nations contingent were there for the dinner. Abrams said they were given an inspirational speech by one of their hosts that day. “We knew what we had to do and the boys have been real determined ever since,” the coach said. The Arrows also made some adjustments prior to game three. “Their goalie was really playing well for them in the first two games and that was a real fac-

tor,” Abrams said. “We just had to change up our shots a little bit, do a few different things as far as our press goes to slow them down offensively. “Our changes worked (but) it is all about the boys: they dug in their heels and really made this happen.” Six Nations was held to a dozen goals combined in games one and two but erupted for 19 in game three’s 19-5 win. They evened the series at two with a 10-7 win in game four and then won the pivotal game five 12-7. “We knew it was a matter of time before we saw their best games,” said Coquitlam coach Neil Doddridge.

Raiders rally to beat Rams

GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

Up by 16 points late in the third quarter, the Langley Rams could not hold on to their double-digit lead, falling 52-44 to the Vancouver Island (V.I.) Raiders in junior football action. The two B.C. Football Conference rivals were playing at Nanaimo’s Caledonia Park on Saturday afternoon, with the loss dropping the Rams to 3-1 on the season while the Raiders improved to 2-3. “It is always tough to take a loss when you know you should have performed better,” said Langley coach Jeff Alamolhoda, who missed the game because of a family wedding. He did watch the film afterwards and said a combination of too many mistakes from his team, too many big plays from their opponents, as well as some trick-plays, did the Rams in. The game began on the wrong foot for Langley as the Raiders’ Micheal Ritchott took the opening kick 105 yards for the touchdown. It was one of two kick-off return touchdowns — the other was 108 yards — he scored — as well as a 105-yard pass-and-run score. “Our special teams, our coverage needs to be better,” Alamolhoda said.

V.I. Raiders kick returner Micheal Ritchott is tackled by Langley Rams opponent Brandon Klein during Saturday’s B.C. Football Conference game at Nanaimo’s Caledonia Park. The Rams lost for the first time, falling 52-44. “They had way too many all-purpose yards.” The Raiders had nearly 500 combined return yards. Alamolhoda also complimented his opponents’ game plan. “(The Raiders) came out with an understanding that they had to do a couple of different things to beat us and they did,” he said. “They executed (a

couple) of trick plays, they executed kick-off returns for touchdowns and some big-splash plays that kept them in the game. “And due to this, it was a fight and at the end of the day, our guys got a realization that they are beatable and we have to get back to work and back to playing Ram football.” After seemingly having control in the

third quarter, Langley surrendered a pair of scores 28 seconds apart to pull the Raiders within two points going into the final quarter. V.I. then scored the only 10 points of the fourth. “For a young team to learn how to finish games properly and how to win games at the end of tight games,” Alamolhoda said. “It was important to learn those messages and I think we did.” Dylan Tucker threw for 188 yards and two scores — Daniel English and Kyle Pich caught the touchdown passes — as well as rushing for one score himself. Jordan Traversy (50 yards, four carries) also had a touchdown. Continued Page 27

OF HOPE Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooking at the Gateway of Hope? Angeli came to The Salvation Army Gateway of Hope because someone told her about the culinary arts program offered here. She was surprised that The Salvation Army had this type of program and after her initial interview with the instructor and taking a tour of the facility she was sure she wanted to be in the Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Training class. Angeli has enjoyed being in the course and says â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a big family, the people make it very special.â&#x20AC;? When asked what she would say to someone considering the course through the Gateway of Hope she says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;busy kitchen, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a feeling of giving back, the people and the experience are greatâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special place here.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal of the program is to develop personal disciplines [for the student] and give them the hope of what they can accomplish, while equipping them to do it,â&#x20AC;? says Regimond Burks, the Director of Skills Training and Chef Instructor. Each student who successfully completes the program will graduate with a certificate which they can use to further their careers. They can then enter into an apprenticeship program that could lead to Red Seal certification. The hours that have been accumulated at the Gateway of Hopeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cooks Training program can be used towards the apprenticeship training, effectively reducing the hours required to receive their government certificate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to help them find meaningful jobs in the community.â&#x20AC;?

‘We emptied the tank’ From Page 25

Rahe, who is from Aldergrove and played his minor lacrosse with Langley, was acquired by Coquitlam at season’s end from the Langley Junior Thunder. He finished the tournament with five goals and seven assists. He was one of two local players on Coquitlam, alongside Jake Taylor. Rahe has one year of junior eligibility remaining, while Taylor has two seasons. ••• A total of 9,516 fans took in the action at the Langley Events Centre over the sixgame series, which breaks down an average of 1,586 per game. The games were also available via online broadcast, but were not available at The Times’ press deadline. This was the first year the Minto Cup was held at the LEC. The east and west representatives take turns hosting the Minto Cup and when it is the west’s turn to host, the LEC will be the venue if it is a Lower Mainland team involved.

“They seemed to get better in games three and four. They were transitioning to the ball well and that got us in trouble.” “It was a hard fought series,” said Coquitlam captain Wes Berg. “Sometimes the score didn’t really show it. We put it all on the line and we played for each other but it sucks not to win it.” Berg led the Adanacs with six goals and 16 assists. “They are definitely a great team,” Abrams said about the Adanacs. “Hats off to them: they are big, they are strong and they are fast.” “It was a great series with two teams playing the game the right way,” said Doddridge. “We emptied the tank the last six days (and) you can’t ask for much more from the guys.” ••• Fans selected the Adanacs’ James Rahe as the recipient of the Cavalier fan favourite award.

Langley duo help White Rock win national title

MANAGERS: Lauren Micona-Lewis Danielle Haffner

Ratios: 3 Staff-20 kids, Classroom is licensed for 20 students.

A pair of Langley ball players helped their team come up with the perfect ending to an up and down season. “It was just a very big deal for us to win nationals,” said Abbey Fortin, one of two Langley girls on the team. The other was Ainsley Guzzo. “We had a couple of bumps along the way.” The bumps the 16-year-old was referring to were tough losses during the season for her team, the White Rock Renegades 98 girls fastpitch squad. Multiple times the team would reach the championship final, only to come up short in the gold medal game. Even worse, the losses came to the same team, the Renegades 99, their sister team one year their junior. But the team persevered and was rewarded with a victory at the Canadian U16 national fastpitch championships earlier this month in Brampton, Ont. The tournament ran Aug. 13 to 17 and White Rock went 8-0. In the gold medal game, the team trailed 1-0 heading into the fifth inning, but the Renegades cobbled together a pair of runs to defeat the Quebec Rebelles 2-1. Prior to reaching that championship game, the Renegades also took care of some unfinished business, knocking the Renegades 99 out of title contention with a 6-3 victory. “They always seemed to beat us when it counted, but we finally got it,” Guzzo said about her team finally beating their nemesis. The key was the game plan the coaches set out and following it, she said. “We worked hard for each other and wanted it more in the end,” added Fortin. “And I think that is what got us the title.” The majority of the group — including Guzzo — was on the Renegades team which won the U14 national title in 2012. But for Fortin, this was her second year on the team and first taste of a national championship. “It was amazing,” she said. “As soon as Katie (Humhej) struck the last batter out, it was a relief and then just so much adrenalin.” For the tournament, Fortin, a centre-fielder, batted .435 and four of her 10 hits went for extra bases. She also had six RBIs. Guzzo, the team’s catcher, hit .222 with a pair of RBIs and five runs scored. The pair are both entering Grade 11 at Walnut Grove Secondary.

Army marches to U12 title in Oregon The Hockey House Army marched to a pair of titles at the 21st Northwest Cup, Competing in Bend, Ore. from Aug. 15 to 17, the Hockey House teams took top spot in both the U12 and the adult B divisions. The U12 squad lost their opening game, 5-4 to the host Bend

Bullets, but shook off the rust and rallied to win their next two games. That earned them a rematch with the Bullets in the championship final and the Army used stifling defence, opportunistic offence and some clutch goaltending to dominate in a 5-1 victory.

AUGUST 30, 1958 TO AUGUST 11, 2014 It is with a profound sense of sadness that we announce the passing of Susanna Muir. She is lovingly cherished by her husband Gavin and son David and will be sadly missed by her parents Joe and Jolan Szeder and her sister Elizabeth. She is fondly remembered by her brother and sister in law, Cameron and Linda Muir and their daughter Jennifer as well as many relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her father and mother in law, Weir and Kathleen(Kathie) Muir. Her sense of hope, optimism and calm determination enveloped all those who knew her. Her smile could move mountains. It warmed even the most recalcitrant soul. She made you want to be a better person. She enjoyed the simple pleasures in life: family, home and service. Devoted to her only son, loving companion to her husband, and caring daughter to her parents, she knew the importance of family and she connected all of us to each other. Through her devotion we all became better people. Working for the public service for over 32 years, she took great satisfaction in her more recent assignment, helping clients in need. She excelled in her ability to empathize with others. She will be greatly missed. Till we meet again Susan, our love for you is boundless. In keeping with her wishes a Memorial Tea will be held at Henderson’s Langley Funeral Home on Friday September 5, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Agency
