Seven Langley Township employees were paid more than $200,000 last year, a just-released annual statement of financial information for municipal staff shows. The report, required by law, shows senior Township administrator Mark Bakken made over $300,000 in 2014 — $291,898 in remuneration plus $11,906 in expenses.

The report said the Township has 116 employees with salaries greater than $100,000, 46 of them firefighters. A look at Canadian averages for equivalent positions shows senior managers of financial, communications, and other businesses in Canada make $225,000 a year while managers of
utilities, transportation, and construction make $205,000. The average pay for a private sector CEO in Canada is $9.1 million. The average B.C. salary is $46,900. The Township also released its annual report on council compensation, showing mayor Jack Froese made $109,143 plus $9,280 in expenses last year. The figures for council members were skewed GRANT because WA R D of the civic election last year, in which three incumbents, Grant Ward, Bev Dornan and Steve Ferguson, were ousted and three new members, Petrina Arnason, Blair Whitmarsh and Angie Quaale, were elected. Even though he didn’t serve a full year, councillor Grant Ward still made the most money, with $47,755 in salary plus $9,732 in expenses. Ward, Ferguson and Dornan were the only members of council to accept a controversial travel allowance, a $340 a month top-up proposed by an independent task force on council pay rates in 2011.

Jammed truck snarls freeway traffic
DAN F ER GUSON L an gley Time s
Eastbound traffic was backed up for kilometres along Highway 1 on Monday afternoon, after a truck transporting a cargo container failed to clear the overhead rail crossing near 232 Street.
A semi-tractor trailer became wedged under the 232 Street rail overpass, snarling traffic during the Monday afternoon commute. The overpass has ony a 4.4 metre clearance and the trailer hit it while travelling east in the left-hand lane at around 3 p.m. Traffic was backed up well onto 192 Street on Highway 1. Roads around the freeway, including 200 Street, also suffered serious back-ups. This isn’t the first time overpasses in Langley have been hit by over-height trucks. Several over-height trucks have crashed into the Glover Road overpasses on the freeway in the past. In 2009, a truck hit the Glover overpass with such force, it was considered structurally unsafe and had to be repaired. The repairs took some time to complete. The same overpass was then hit again, shortly after it was repaired.
Cougar sightings Heavy black smoke from reported, but no plastics fire seen for miles further kills MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter
Recent sightings of a cougar in South Langley have been reported, but there have been no more killings by the wild cat, said B.C.’s Conservation Office. Early in June, a cougar was spotted near the Otter Co-Op and there was one confirmed cougar attack that killed a young cow in south Langley. Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese has been in regular contract with the Ministry of Environment and the area’s conservation officer, and is being kept up-to-date on the issue, said a release from the municipality. While there have been some unconfirmed cougar sightings, no further attacks have been attributed to the wild cat. One farmer’s llama and sheep were killed in June but those kills were confirmed to be the work of a coyote, not a cougar. Most often, cougars pass through an area and just move on. However, if you spot a cougar, keep away from the animal and bring children and pets inside until it leaves. If a cougar is hanging around or becomes threatening, phone the MoE’s call centre at 1-877-952-7277. If you do encounter a cougar, stay calm and keep the animal in view at all times. Pick up children immediately and back away slowly, ensuring the animal has a clear avenue of escape. Never run or turn your back on a cougar, as sudden movement may cause a response. If a cougar shows interest or follows you, make yourself look as big as possible. If a cougar attacks, fight back, using anything you can as a weapon.
A fire in a plastics plant on the Surrey-Langley border on Thursday, sent up a cloud of black smoke so thick and dark that it could be seen as far away as Delta. The Mansonville Plastics plant caught fire at around 1:45 p.m. on June 25, sending up a huge plume of smoke from the business, located at 19402 56 Avenue. Surrey fire crews fought the blaze. A number of people at the scene said it was Styrofoam that had caught fire. By 2:30 p.m., fire crews had managed to get the fire under control. It is the second recent fire that sent heavy black smoke into the air. On May 28, an egg carton fire erupted at the CKF factory. While that blaze took 17 hours to extinguish, minimal damage was done to the premises because the building had a working sprinkler system.

Campfire ban issued for southwestern B.C. TINDER DRY FORESTS A MAJOR WILDFIRE CONCERN JEFF NAGEL Black Press
The rising threat of wildfires has led to a campfire ban across much of southwestern B.C. The ban declared by the Coastal Fire Centre took effect June 27 and covers the entire Lower Mainland except where fires are allowed by local municipalities, and all but the northernmost part of Vancouver Island. The fire danger rating is high across the Lower Mainland and there’s a pocket of extreme fire risk region on the east side of Harrison Lake, said fire information officer Donna MacPherson. So far there have been 91 fires

in the coastal region, mostly small ones that have been quickly extinguished. There are no significant wildfires causing smoke or danger near Metro Vancouver or the Fraser Valley. But officials fear new fires could be sparked by lightning or human carelessness. “We’re a little concerned that people don’t understand how dry it is,” MacPherson said. “We’re seeing dryness that normally occurs in late July or August, instead of at this time of the year. June is typically our wet month.” Long grasses that are tinder dry can easily be sparked by

A small 0.5 hectare fire broke out near Harrison Lake last Wednesday but was quickly knocked down, thanks in part to the close proximity of the new Fi re Boss water-scooping amphibious planes that are based in Abbotsford.

In the early afternoon of June 16, three men entered a residential building in the 5600 block of 201A Street and stole mail from the interior bank of mailboxes. Police have released video surveillance pictures of a trio of suspects in the hope that someone can identify them. One of the three appeared to have some difficulty walking, and was dragging his right foot behind him. Anybody who can identify the suspects is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-32-3200.

Stage 1 water restrictions which regulate lawn sprinkling days and hours are now in effect in Langley Township. Lawn sprinkling is only allowed from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays for homes with even numbered addresses and 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays for homes with odd numbered addresses. Non-residential properties with even numbered addresses can sprinkle their lawns Mondays and Wednesdays from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. with odd numbered addresses on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. All non-residential addresses can sprinkle lawns on Fridays from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. “Your lawn only requires one hour or one inch of watering
a week to stay healthy,” said Meaghan Norton Daniel of the Township’s Water Resources and Environment Department. “Alternatively, residents may choose to ‘go golden’ and let their lawn go dormant for the summer.” “All efforts that support water conservation are important to ensure we maintain adequate resources for drinking and emergency use, and ultimately avoid further levels of restriction,” she added. Water usage doubles during the warm season. In Aldergrove, Gloucester, and Salmon River Uplands, which currently rely solely on groundwater drawn from local aquifers, the Township is urging restraint, urging properties with private wells to observe the water restrictions.
••• The City of Langley’s summer lawn sprinkling restrictions are also in effect. Throughout the summer, even numbered residential addresses may sprinkle lawns Monday, Wednesday or Saturday mornings. Odd numbered residential addresses may sprinkle lawns Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday mornings.

Student leaders have condemned Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s decision to accept a $300,000 contribution over 20 years from Kinder Morgan if its Trans Mountain pipeline twinning proceeds. The Kwantlen Student Association said it opposes the agreement that would see the pipeline company give about $15,000 a year in scholarships for trades and technology students. “KPU’s acceptance of this money amounts to a tacit endorsement of the pipeline project,” said KSA vice-president Alex McGowan, adding the pipeline poses “unacceptable risks” and would contribute to the acceleration of climate change. Students say they weren’t consulted and the move makes a mockery of the university’s commitment to sustainability and the aboriginal group for which it is named. “KPU students want nothing
to do with this project,” added KSA president Allison Gonzalez. “We are shocked at this agreement.”
KPU students want nothing to do with this project. We are shocked at this agreement. ALLISON GONZALEZ
KPU academic vice-president Salvador Ferreras said Tuesday the money would aid students pursuing jobs in industry and said he had no ethical qualms about the agreement, insisting KPU wasn’t taking a position on the pipeline. Alumni are also speaking out. “I have never been so embarrassed to be a Kwantlen grad,”
said Justine Nelson. “Many consider this type of ‘generosity’ to be a bribe,” she said. “While the university states it has no stance on the pipeline, it has a duty to consider the effects this expansion will have, and not succumb to Kinder Morgan’s attempts to buy support of local communities.” The Kwantlen First Nation, KPU’s namesake, is an intervenor before the National Energy Board opposing the pipeline expansion. Spokesman Brandon Gabriel Kwelexwecten said the deal “flies in the face” of KPU’s pledges to closely collaborate with the first nation. Trans Mountain is pursuing benefits agreements with various municipalities and post-secondary institutions. So far Thompson Rivers University is the only other school to have accepted one. All the benefits agreements are contingent on the pipeline being approved.

Province funds elder abuse prevention programs
Parliamentary secretary for seniors, Darryl Plecas, and BC Association of Community Response Networks executive director, Sherry Baker, announced $2.6 million in funding for B.C. programs to reduce elder abuse, during a Langley press conference held on Thursday, June 18.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF $2.6 MILLION MADE IN LANGLEY TOWNSHIP DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The provincial government announced $2.6 million in funding for elder abuse programs at a Langley press conference on June 18. Parliamentary Secretary for Seniors, Darryl Plecas, said the money will go to the BC Association of Community Response Networks (CRN). “Elder abuse is not always obvious, but it is always unacceptable,” Plecas said. “It is essential for all of us to be aware and take action. “Each one of us has a responsibility to promote a culture of respect and protect the safety of older adults.” CRN executive director Sherry Baker said, as a Langley resident who also works on local seniors issues, she was “doubly pleased” to be attending the announcement. CRN supports networks in 55 centres across B.C. made up of agencies, service providers and activists fighting elder “abuse, neglect and self-neglect” Baker said. The province also announced $700,000 in grants over two years to 14 projects to support “community-based awareness building, enhanced training and improved response to elder abuse through community partnerships and collaboration.” Social worker Leanne Lange said incidents of elder abuse are increasing. “It is tough to see people who have worked hard all their lives, who have contributed to our communities and who have raised families, being abused and neglected sometimes by the very people they have cared for,” said Lange who specializes in adult abuse and neglect with the Fraser Health Authority. “We are working hard to respond to the abuse and neglect of seniors, and ensure they are receiving the care, support and respect they deserve, instead of allowing them to suffer in silence.” Elder abuse is defined as a single or repeated act, or a lack of appropriate action that causes harm or distress to an older person. Caregivers or adult child are often the abusers. It’s estimated that four per cent to 10 per cent of seniors will experience some form of physical, emotional, financial or sexual abuse, including neglect. If you or someone you know is being abused and you believe they might be in danger, call 9-1-1. For more information, call the Seniors Abuse and Information Line, operated through the BC Centre for Elder Advocacy and Support at 604 437-1940 in Vancouver or 1 866-437-1940, tollfree in B.C., from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, except statutory holidays.

Happy 148th

Published Wednesday and Friday at 20258 Fraser Highway, Langley B.C., V3A 4E6 by Black Press Ltd. Sales agreement No. 3298280. Contents copyright of Black Press
Today is Canada’s 148th birthday. It’s a momentous occasion, but in the usual Canadian style, we tend to sometimes celebrate it rather half-heartedly. Here in Langley, the longtime community Canada Day celebration has bit the dust. It started out at Langley Airport, moved to McLeod Athletic Park and ended with last year’s event at Willoughby Community Park. However, there is plenty to do this year in Langley. Events at Fort Langley, where there has always been some Canada Day activity, have been expanded. There will also be an event at Willoughby Community Park, co-sponsored by JR FM and the Township, featuring an array of country music performers. However, there will not be any fireworks this year. The changes in Langley are due to purely local circumstances, but there are similarities to the national mood. Canadians are proud of their country and its many achievements, as could be seen Saturday when Canada played its final game in the Women’s World Cup of soccer. Yet at the same time, there is a sense of unease in the midst of 2015, with the economy sluggish, and the future uncertain for many people and businesses. There is also a federal election looming, and it is very unclear what the final result of that will be. It could be a minority government, or less likely, a majority government — and any one of the three main parties has a chance to win. Nonetheless, these are simply moments which will pass, in a country that has lasted for 148 years and endured many significant challenges. Canada is a great place to live, and it’s well worth celebrating today.

J.” The email, crafted to look like a buddy’s drunk text on a Saturday night, was sent to thousands of people across the country to bolster some last-minute webcast viewing of Trudeau’s campaign-style speech in Ottawa. The highlight of that speech, other than watching 200 Liberal MP-hopefuls fatigue their smiling muscles behind Trudeau’s podium, included a promise to reform Canada’s electoral system within 18 months of taking power. A bold plan, indeed . . . except for the fact that the federal NDP have been advocating for proportional representation since 2004, and the Greens have had it on their books since the mid-1990s. The latest polling numbers (still four months out from the election) show that if the election was held today, the NDP could garner 29.1 per cent of the vote, while the Conservatives would hold onto a minority government with 30 per cent of the vote. The same poll suggests the Liberals would again be in third place with 94 seats in the House of Commons. Trudeau has a long road to climb to achieve NDP leader Thomas Mulcair’s momentum, and the calculated release of the Liberals’ major announcements may yet be enough to turn the tide. But one mistake Trudeau needs to avoid is assuming that the Liberals belong in government or official opposition. Times have changed since Jean Chrétien and his cronies stretched their dynasty from coast to coast to coast. Trudeau’s team followed up with another uncomfortably friendly email after his speech: “Busy day. Just back from the kids’ end of year school show, and found some more time to write.” Thanks, buddy! Wanna grab a bite after the game? Trudeau’s campaign team would do well to release the leader from his manicured campaign roll-out so he can engage with everyday Canadians about real issues in an unscripted setting. People want to hear what each potential prime minister really thinks, but if that means reading poorly written text messages from Trudeau, they might just end up checking out. — Campbell River Mirror

Unleashed dogs ruin park experience Editor: With the hot weather upon us, folks are looking for cooler, wooded areas to walk. We need to remind people that Passive Park on 36 Avenue, west of 208 is not an off-leash park. There are so many dogs running free there when families with young children want to walk, or children want to bicycle the trails. Having an unleashed dog run up to one’s small children is horrifically frightening to a family, no matter how loudly the owner is yelling, “Don’t worry, he is friendly.” Family picnics at the tables have been ruined by dogs running up and making a grab for the food. It was sad to hear one of my neighbours comment that they cannot have a family bike ride there as the last two times, the kids were chased by unleashed dogs. While there is a sign showing a leashed dog, perhaps a larger sign needs to be posted. It is a lovely park, and families should be able to use it without fear. MARGO DONOVAN, LANGLEY

KPU, pipeline deal ‘horrifying’
JEFF NAGEL Black Press
Trans Mountain pipeline project spokesperson Lizette Parsons Bell meets an Australian stick bug that resides at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Plant Health and Urban Ecosystem Lab in Langley.
LifeLabs working to reduce its environmental footprint Editor: Belinda Burke of Langley wrote a letter (The Times, June 24) regarding corporate environmental responsibility. In her letter, Ms. Burke described that she recently observed a BC Biomedical Labs (owned by LifeLabs) employee throw plastic packaging in the garbage. We regret this occurrence. LifeLabs is committed to protecting the environment in the communities in which we operate, and have taken many steps to reduce our environmental footprint already including: implementing wastewater treatment programs; recycling and composting programs; and vehicle emission reductions for our courier fleet.
We are aware of the plastics disposal concerns at our BC Biomedical Patient Service Centres and are working with the supplier to reduce the packaging at the source. We are also working with landlords to expand the recycling services available to ensure that we have appropriate programs in place to recycle wastes generated at our locations. We appreciate that Ms. Burke took the time to share her concerns and reinforce for us just how important it is that we have the appropriate programs in place, and quickly. LOUISE NAGY NATIONAL DIRECTOR, ENVIRONMENT HEALTH & SAFETY LIFELAB
Editor: I was horrified to learn this week that Kwantlen Polytechnic University has signed a memorandum of understanding with Kinder Morgan/Trans Mountain Pipeline. This MOU will net the university some very “dirty” money should the NEB approve the proposed pipeline expansion bringing diluted bitumen from the tar sands to the coast, for shipment to China. Under the claim of supporting students through their Community Benefits Programme, Kinder Morgan is planning to donate $300,000 over 20 years in the form of student awards and partial operating funds for the university’s Environmental Protection Technical Lab at the Langley campus. Kwantlen First Nation, after whom the university is named, is an intervenor in the pipeline project and is against Kinder Morgan’s expansion of the pipeline, as are many people throughout the Lower Mainland. A rally that attracted approximately 400 people that was supported by the Kwantlen First Nation, was held in Fort Langley this past April, demonstrating against this pipeline.
And yet KPU has gone ahead and signed this MOU without thought to the message they are sending, not only to their students, but also to Kwantlen First Nation. The irony of the funds going towards environmental protection should not be understated, because if there is ever a spill/leak in the Langley area, this $300,000 would not even begin to cover the costs of a clean-up. Nor would it cover the hospital and medical costs of those affected by the cocktail of dangerous chemicals that would leak into the atmosphere, leading to nausea, headaches and respiratory problems in our community. Do the administrators of KPU read the papers? Do they know that this pipeline expansion supports the expansion of global warming? Do they care? Kinder Morgan is trying to spend its way to success by making agreements with local governments all along the pipeline corridor. It is sad that free money trumps responsible decision making.

Central Auction an iconic business that will be missed Editor: An iconic Langley business closes its doors and a gentleman auctioneer retires. Central Auction has provided furniture and collectibles to local merchants and the average person for over 45 years. Bill Lee is the go-to antique appraiser with a vast knowledge of antique furniture and collectibles. He is a classy guy with quick wit and dry humour that has drawn people to his auction from all over the Lower Mainland. Forget the reality TV nonsense and go to the auction for real entertainment. The regulars size up the greenhorns and tension builds the moment before the hammer strikes. Many a time we have come home with a chair, lamp or china that we did not intend to buy. The household mystery boxes were also lots of fun, with a mix of Christmas ornaments, tools and toys. You were never quite sure what you
were getting until the end. We still have our concrete Buddha as part of the outdoor feng shui in our backyard. We have special purchases, too, that we will never part with. One in particular is a rocking pig with a big red bow, named Sally. Each of our grandchildren love this pig, much to the chagrin of our sons. There was the infamous pig-napping one year. A family member texted the pictures of Sally on her way to Victoria once they were on the ferry. Under great protest the pig was eventually returned to our living room for all to enjoy. We will miss Central Auction, the memories of bidding wars won and lost and a special person, Mr. Bill Lee. CHARLINE & MARK HOOPER, COQUITLAM

You & The Law
PRESENTS Child support re-examined The Child Support Guidelines usually make clear how much you must pay in child support. But that’s not always the case. The B.C. Court of Appeal recently dealt with such a matter. The court considered the child support obligations for Peter (all names changed here), a pleasant 24-year-old man with a mental disability. Peter couldn’t make basic decisions for himself and likely would never be able to live independently. His life expectancy was normal, and he would need support for the rest of his life. Peter’s parents, Mark and Linda, had divorced in 1995. They initially shared joint custody and guardianship of Peter, five years old at the time, but in late 1996, they agreed that Mark would have sole custody. Since Mark’s business took him to the United States a great deal, he also agreed to pay Linda (who earned only a modest income at the time) $300 a month in child support. This was essentially to enable her to travel to the U.S. for visits with Peter, which she did frequently over the years. By the time of the court hearing over child support, however, both Linda and Mark were very well-off financially. Linda had married a venture capitalist in 1998 and enjoyed an affluent lifestyle. She didn’t work, and details of her current income were sketchy (she got some money from a company her husband was involved with). Before her first marriage to Mark, she had earned roughly $20,000 a year as a charter airline employee, and in the initial court documents in this case, she said she earned $20,000 annually, though later said it was less. Mark, 68 and retired, owned a mostly U.S. real estate portfolio worth $11 million (in
addition to a substantial inheritance) and earned some $168,000 a year. Their son Peter had some significant assets himself, partly from an inheritance from his grandmother and partly from a trust fund, though that fund could only be accessed if the Public Trustee agreed. Peter also got some monthly government assistance. Due to the substantial change in the financial picture since the old child support arrangements had originally been put in place, the lower court decided Mark didn’t have to pay Linda any arrears dating from 2008 or make any further child support payments to her. But Mark also wanted his ex-wife to help pay for the ongoing support of their son. The Court of Appeal emphasized that, even though Mark could well afford to support Peter alone, Linda was also responsible for Peter’s support – it’s fundamental that both parents have an obligation to support a child like Peter, who was likely to outlive his parents. It was Linda’s voluntary choice not to work, observed the appeal court. So it said Linda should be treated as earning $20,000 annually. Using this income figure and the Child Support Guidelines, the appeal court ordered Linda to pay Mark $174 a month toward Peter’s child support. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts and circumstances. If you’re involved in a difficult family law situation, consult your lawyer for help.

A different view from the East Coast I’ve just spent two weeks viewing events from the opposite side of Canada, in and around St. John’s Newfoundland. It’s the same country, but you wouldn’t know it sometimes. Here on the West Coast, “kayaktivists” paddled around a Shell offshore oil drilling platform being serviced at Seattle, striking poses of resistance for the media from their petroleum-based watercraft. Meanwhile at Bull Arm outside St. John’s, work continues on a massive “gravity-based structure” that will soon be drilling into the Hebron oilfield 350 km offshore. It will have living quarters and drill rig above and a tank with capacity for 1.2 million barrels of crude below. Offshore oil has turned St. John’s into a boomtown. With one industrial park nearing capacity on the edge of town, a second is under construction. Locals call it “Dannyland,” after its developer, former premier Danny Williams.
St. John’s International Airport is buzzing with flights back and forth to Edmonton and Fort McMurray, and crew helicopters shuttling back and forth from offshore oil rigs. Tourism is picking up, with a new cross-Canada ad campaign and WestJet starting service to Dublin and London. A foreign supplier won a contract for tankers to bring oil ashore. With no media-connected environmental groups to steer the subject to far-fetched disaster scenarios, debate in the Newfoundland and Labrador legislature turned to concerns about maintaining local employment. Outside the city, parallels with B.C. become evident. Tiny towns struggle to hang on as young people choose opportunity over isolation, and the only expansion is at church graveyards. While cities struggle with high housing and recreational property costs, homes in remote

at the G7 meeting in Germany. But hey, it’s an election year, not a time for serious discussion of issues. Imperial Oil’s Kearl oilsands mine at Fort McMurray has started production from its $9 billion second phase, with the help of many Newfoundlanders. Production continues to grow, heavy oil prices have surged with paving season, and large-scale liquefied natural gas export plans begin to take shape in B.C. With the legislature
about to be recalled to endorse the Petronas-led LNG export project, Premier Christy Clark has assembled a climate action team with representatives from industry, First Nations, local governments and a couple of professional protesters for good measure. They have an absurdly short deadline to recommend changes to B.C.’s token carbon tax, as gasoline consumption returns to pre-tax levels despite continued high pump prices. In St. John’s, another
long, cold winter has finally loosened its grip after piling snow to doorknob levels. Every street in sight is being patched and repainted. The debate about new energy supplies has a more serious tone in Newfoundland. The last elected premier, Kathy Dunderdale, lost her job in the wake of winter power blackouts. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca
FAMILY-SIZED SUMMER FUN.
Heat wave leading to more power use The sustained heat wave province-wide is having an impact on electricity demand. BC Hydro expects the higher than normal demand to continue as temperatures in the province climb. There are a number of ways to save money during the heat wave. • Keep the blinds down; • Use a ceiling fan: Ensure the fan is rotating counter-clockwise. • Keep the clothes dryer off: hang your laundry to dry and avoid the clothes dryer to keep unnecessary heat out of your house. • Cook outside: use the barbeque to cook outside to reduce the use of your stove or oven. • Take shorter, cooler showers.

Team Khanada ready to rally MATT STANDISH AND DERRECK TRAVIS WILL SET OUT ON THE GREAT MONGOL RALLY JULY 10
B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
“Eight weeks, two continents, 20 countries, one car unsuitable for the task at hand.” A mere 16,000-km trek over road, trail, track and highway in every state of repair is all that lies between the starting line and bragging rights for a pair of Langley men. Matt Standish and Derreck Travis will fly from Vancouver to London, England next month. From there, they will set out — as Team Khanada — on the Great Mongol Rally. The two men, both 32 and graduates of Brookswood Secondary, decided to take part in the grueling rally as a way to support a pair of charities. Their efforts will raise money for the rally’s charity of choice — Cool Earth, which works to halt rain forest destruction — and for the B.C. Cancer Foundation, in honour of a close family member of Standish’s who recently beat cancer. The race, which has been run annually since 2004, takes competitors from London to Ulan Bator, Mongolia. Teams can choose to take either a northern or southern route across Europe and Asia. Team Khanada, one of about 300 teams taking part, will go south. The men will be gone from July 10 to Sept. 6, covering an average of about 450 km/day, they estimate. Beginning in London, they will cross the English Channel in a 1999 Nissan Micra, which a friend found for them in the UK. One of the few rules that govern the rally is that vehicles’ engines must be under a certain size. As far as Standish is aware, the fastest the rally has ever been completed was 10 days. The longest it has taken someone, on the other hand, is two years. “That shows how loosely it’s organized,” he said. From Europe they will cross into Asia through Turkey. From there, they plan to drive through Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Russia on their way to the Mongolian capital. While the northern route is no doubt faster and more direct, for the Langley duo, this trip isn’t about being the first to arrive at the finish line — it’s all about getting there. “It hasn’t quite sunk in,” said Standish of the trip, which he has been planning in his mind for the past three years and in reality for the last 12 months. Not that he’s had much time to sit and think. The last year has been a whirlwind of preparation — of fundraising and route planning and

Derreck Travis, left, and Matt Standish, right, have been friends for the past 20 years. On July 10 the Langley men will set out across Europe and Asia in a 1999 Nissan Micra, as part of the Mongol Rally. They expect to spend about eight weeks on the 16,000-km journey from London, England to Ulan Bator, Mongolia — a trip that will take them through a number of countries that most Westerners will never see in their lifetimes. medical appointments. In order to travel through many of the countries on their route, the men have had to get a number of vaccinations. They’ve had shots for typhoid, tetanus, measles, mumps and hepatitis. “I felt like a pin cushion there for a while,” laughed Standish. They’ve also been inoculated for rabies, since their journey will take them through Uzbekistan, the nation with the highest rate of the deadly disease on the planet. One of the biggest challenges so far has been getting travel documents in order, based on the unique demands of each country they plan to visit. Right now, the one wild card is Iran, said Standish. If the Canadians are denied entry, plan B will be to drive through Armenia into Azerbaijan, cross the Caspian Sea to Turkmenistan and then carry on as planned. “It’s definitely a risk, but it’s a calculated risk,” said Standish. “We’ve had lots of time to pre-
pare. “I think that once we dig into what’s along the route . . . we’ll get more excited and more nervous.” Standish’s younger brother, Reid, completed the rally a few years ago and it was those experiences that piqued his own interest. He knew that he wanted to try it himself. And he knew there was only one person he wanted to bring along for the ride. “We know what makes each other tick. We’ve been friends for 20 years,” said Standish of his high school buddy. “We’d BS’d about it for years.” “For the most part, he talked about it,” said Travis. “I was more like, ‘Yeah, yeah.’” Then one day, Standish sent Travis a text saying it was time to get serious and enter the next race. “I’d just graduated and started a new job. I was skeptical that I’d be able to do it,” said Travis. Although they weren’t necessarily excited about losing their
new employee for two months, the firm where Travis works has been very supportive, he said. The architect, who has travelled in about 40 countries, isn’t worried about the reputations of some of the places they will pass through along their way. “I find that the dangers of the world are grossly exaggerated,” he said. “I was in Greece during the riots. If you have a head on your shoulders and you are inconspicuous, you can make it anywhere. “I think human nature is not given enough credit. If you are positive and nice to people, they will help you. That’s been my experience.” For him, the opportunity far outweighs any risks. “(I place) an emphasis on things that develop you as a person,” said Travis. “This could change my perspective on how I view the world.” While Standish cites Iran and Uzbekistan as the two countries he’s most excited to visit, for Travis one highlight will be the op-
portunity to travel portions of the famous Silk Road. “These are countries that are at the root of who we are as a culture today.” “The expectation for me is that we’ll make it,” said Travis. “I’m cautiously optimistic.” The men will take plenty of food and water and as many spare parts for the car as they reasonably can. Reid’s own experience served as a cautionary tale for the men to prepare for the worst — his car broke down in the Gobi desert, leaving him stranded for three days while others went for help. Once they’ve reached Ulan Bator and completed the rally, the car will be recycled and the money from its sale donated to charity. They will fly home from Moscow. When and wherever they are able, the men plan to blog as they go. To support Standish’s and Travis’ efforts or to follow them along their journey, visit mongolrally.ca

“Breaking into the film industry is really hard work, though. “I’ve only done student films so far.” She is now in the top 18 in the world for new aspiring makeup artists. She transformed her mom into an aging, balding biker for the competition. She attended the International Makeup Artists Trade Show (IMATS) and out of hundreds of international portfolio applicants, her’s was selected to compete in the Battle of the Brushes. The competition is aimed at professional makeup artists who are fresh out of school. Kikkert recently graduated from the John Casablanca School in Vancouver while learning air brushing and other special effect tools. She’s already begun her own business doing make up for prom, helping in photo shoots and donated her time doing make up for the B.C. Prostate Cancer Foundation as she works to get enough film credits to break into the industry. She was in the top eight finalists selected to compete and she placed third on May 31. This competition is held worldwide in other major cities like London, Sydney and New York. There are six of these competitions held annually. When she isn’t pursuing her career, she is busy with her dad, raising money for the Westcoast Ride to Live for prostate cancer research. Each year, the father/daughter duo are the top fundraisers for their area. This year, they raised $7,000. Amy normally rides with her dad on his bike but this year, she bought her own 250cc bike.

Hofer finds his calling on the bench GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
While some people may know as early as their high school-playing days that they will put their skills and knowledge to use as a coach in their respective sport one day, that was not the case with Ryan Hofer. Hofer played collegiately with Briercrest College. But he always figured once his schooling was done, he would find a job working with youth, perhaps as a youth pastor. “I never saw myself coaching full-time,” he admitted. Yet he has carved out quite the coaching career for himself, including serving as associate head coach of Canada’s entry in the upcoming FISU World University Games in South Korea. Not bad for someone who jokingly says he slept his way to the top. Of course the woman whom he slept with to get to this point just happens to be his wife Carol. The Hofers moved to Langley in the fall of 1999 when Carol accepted the head coaching job for the Trinity Western Spartans women’s volleyball team. Ryan had done some coaching in clinics and with Volleyball BC and upon their arrival in Langley, they started the Fraser Valley Volleyball Club. He also did some work as an assistant coach with the TWU men’s team. Eventually, the Hofers teamed up to coach the TWU women and twice when Carol went on maternity leave, Ryan took the helms as head coach. But after the second leave, Carol did not return, instead taking another position within the TWU athletic department. And since taking over the head coaching position permanently, he has done quite well for himself, going a combined 141-55 in Canada West conference play — a win-
S C OT T S T E WA RT TWU Athle tic D e partme nt
After coaching the Trinity Western Spartans women’s volleyball team to the first national championship in program history back in March, Hofer is hoping to help Canada to success at the FISU World University Games in Gwangju, South Korea. The competition begins Friday and runs until July 14. ning percentage of .719 — and this past season, helped the Spartans win the CIS national championship back in March for the first title in program history. Prior to that, the Spartans’ best finish had been bronze medals at both the 2011 and 2013 CIS championships and Hofer was the 2011 CIS coach of the year. Coaching one of the premier volleyball programs — they have made the national championships five consecutive years — definitely has its perks. “I get to look at the best athletes across the country and hand-pick them,” Hofer said about what he loves about the job. “I love seeing how sport develops character, develops them at a deeper level. I love seeing them get better at things and improve at a game they are really passionate about and then using that to teach life lessons that they can take with them.” That is not say there are not challenges with the job. “You are always trying to make 16 people happy,” he said.
“Everybody is a unique individual, everybody has their opinion. The challenges are getting people to accept the roles that are given to them.” “I have a bit of a people-pleasing personality, and I have had to battle that a lot, and making decisions that are best for the team,” Hofer added. “We have one rule, and that is protect the team. So all my decisions have to run through that.” Another perk of the job is getting plum gigs like leading the Canadian women’s side into the FISU World University Games, which run July 3 to 14 in Gwangju, South Korea. Four of Hofer’s TWU players — Nikki Cornwall, Kristen Moncks, Alicia Perrin and Elly Wendel — are on the Canadian roster, which spent much of June practising in Langley. Hofer is serving as associate head coach alongside Olivier Trudel, the head coach of the Montreal Carabins. And it was the chance to work with Tru-
del that prompted Hofer to put in a bid to help coach the Canadian side. “He is just one of those guys you connect well with,” Hofer said. The pair had coached together at the 2009 FISU Games and Hofer said they have very similar coaching strategies and habits. The chance to work with him once again was a big reason Hofer was willing to give up part of his summer, especially with his wife and three kids — Brodie, 15, Tyson, 12, and Zachary, nine, — back home in Langley. Hofer has coached Brodie in club volleyball (see story below). Hofer said it is a tremendous feeling to lead your country into international competition. “You have a sense of pride that you are representing something greater than yourself,” he said. “I am extremely proud to be able to take a lot of really good CIS players … and take them up against other universities and just see how we do.”
Local team a Force on international scene GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
Best in B.C., best in Canada and now best on the international level. The Force U16 Volleyball Club returned home from Orlando, Fla. last week after taking top spot at the AAU boys’ junior national volleyball championships. “It is sort of surreal for us,” said Force coach Dan Johnson. “To have won the Canadian national title, and then to have won this event in the same year,
it is pretty exciting.” The Force is made up of players from mainly Langley and Surrey, and one player from Abbotsford. They were competing in Florida from June 19 to 21 and the team went a perfect 9-0, including not dropping a single set in their final three games. The Force beat the Ocean Bay 16 Waves 2-0 (25-13, 25-11) in the quarter-finals, the Ocean Bay 16 Surf 2-0 (25-21, 25-18) and then TVA Volleyball System 2-0 (2521, 25-22) in the championship
final. The Ocean Bay teams were from Florida while TVA is from Puerto Rico. “They had a great hitter and they just set him so much,” Johnson said about their opponent in the championship final. “But our guys just played as a team; they played so well.” Johnson said the Force entered the tournament with high expectations — they wanted to win — but no pressure. “The guys were just so excited,
we had never played these teams before so we had no barometer, no way of knowing what to expect,” he said. “The guys played really loose and by the end, they were just so excited to have won it.” He felt they faced more pressure back in May at the Canadian national club championships since they were the defending champions and anything short of a repeat would have been a disappointment to the squad. “We were a lot tighter (at Ca-
nadian nationals) I felt,” he said. “In this one, we went in without any pressure or expectations, if we would have lost, it would not have been as devastating.” Zec Johnson — the coach’s son and the team’s setter — was named most valuable player while Phil Stahl and Colton Loewen were named first team all-Americans. Johnson and Stahl are from Langley while Loewen is from Abbotsford.

Six Mustangs on Team BC A pair of local high school athletes are among six from the Langley Mustangs who have been named to B.C.’s junior track and field team while four others made the province’s senior track and field squad. Robyn Buckingham and Nick Colyn were both named to the B.C. team. Buckingham competes in heptathlon and finished fifth in the junior women’s heptathlon in Ottawa June 19 to 21 at the Canadian combined events championships. She scored 4,445 points.
Buckingham enters Grade 12 next year at Walnut Grove while Colyn is off to Trinity Western in the fall after graduating from Langley Christian. Colyn will compete in the junior men’s 3000m steeplechase in Edmonton from July 2 to 5 at the Canadian junior national championships. Also competing will be Eric Chatten (high jump), Brittni Wolczyki (javelin), Teagan Rasche (hammer throw) and Brent Reston (javelin). All four train with the Mustangs.
And on the senior side, Melissa Fraser (javelin), Kyle Nielsen (javelin), Declan White (5000m) and Fiona Benson (800m) were named to the roster, which will also compete in Edmonton from July 2 to 5. Benson, Fraser and White train with the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club while White is with the Thunderbirds Track and Field Club out of Burnaby. Fraser and Benson will also represent Canada at the Pan American Games in Toronto in July.
Champoux, Ellenwood ready to run for Canada at youth Games Two Langley teenagers have been chosen to compete for Canada on the world stage. Megan Champoux and Dean Ellenwood are among the athletes announced by Athletics Canada on Friday (June 26) who will represent Canada at
the 2015 world youth championships. The track and field competition runs July 15 to 19 in Cali, Colombia. Champoux, who will run in the women’s 400m hurdles and Ellenwood in the men’s 800m race, are mem-
bers of the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club. Champoux, 15, is coached by Jarid Vaughan while the 17-year-old Ellenwood is coached by Dwayne Lotnick. The pair both medalled at the B.C. high
school track and field championships in early June with Champoux winning gold in the senior girls 400m race and bronze in the 100m event, while Ellenwood won silver in the senior boys 800m and bronze in the 400m.

Sharks select Rivermen’s Vela in seventh round Marcus Vela’s hard work has paid off after hearing his name called in the NHL entry draft. The San Jose Sharks selected the Langley Rivermen forward in the seventh round (190th overall)
on Saturday in Sunrise, Fla. “It’s an honour to be drafted by the Sharks organization,” Vela said. “It’s a proud moment for myself and for my family.” Vela is a six-foot-two, 204-pound forward.
The 18-year-old scored 20 goals and 46 points in 50 games last season in the BCHL with Langley. He also represented Canada West at the 2014 World Junior A Hockey Challenge as well as representing Canada
West in the 2015 CJHL Prospects Game. “We couldn’t be happier for Marcus,” said Rivermen head coach and general manager Bobby Henderson. “He’s one of the hardest working individuals both
on and off the ice I’ve had the pleasure of coaching.” Vela spent two years with the Langley junior A hockey club and is off to the University of New Hampshire in the fall to play NCAA Division 1 hockey.
This is the third straight year a member of the Rivermen has been selected in the NHL draft. Evan Campbell was taken by Edmonton in 2013 and Matt Ustaski by Winnipeg in 2014.

Vancouver Stealth forward Joel McCready is one of three finalists for the National Lacrosse League’s teammate of the year award. The nominees were announced on Monday and McCready is up against Edmonton’s Jarrett Davis and Toronto’s Josh Sanderson. The newly-created award honours players who demonstrate exemplary teamwork and leadership qualities.

OBITUARIES
Remembering Wells “Miles” Tony Gallagher September 13, 1977 – June 1, 2015 It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Wells “Miles” Tony Gallagher. Wells had touched the life and hearts of many during his 37 years on earth and will be greatly missed by all his family, that included the family he grew up with, his family who knew him as Miles, in the downtown core of Langley city and all those who regularly stopped to give him a helping hand, a comforting word, a coffee or a sandwich. Wells grew up in a house full of people, noise, love and happiness. He and his best friend “Santa Bear” came to us as a young child. He added much laughter to our home with his incredible sense of humor, pranks and jokes. He milked cows, rode horses, looked after pigs and spent hours with his favorite possessions Santa Bear and his tabby cat “Boots”. He experienced many joyful family events, played hockey, went to summer camps, travelled but his favorite were the lazy days of summer when he and his family went camping for weeks at a time. He was soft spoken and gentle, had a keen sense of humor and showed love and compassion for all who crossed his path. He never focussed on his own life problems but was there to give support and a helping hand to others.. Always a big smile! The family would like to thank the IHIT team, Langley RCMP, Victim Services, Event Coordinator Heather Ashfield, Christian Life Assembly, First Memorial Funeral Services, The Langley Times, Vancouver Sun and most importantly, you the community of Langley, who have rallied around our family at this devastating time and had rallied around Wells for many years... We love you all.... A Celebration of Life will be held for Wells at Christian Life Assembly, 21277 56th Avenue, Langley on July 9, 2015 at 2:00 PM. For those requiring transportation, a bus will pick up at Gateway of Hope at 1:00 PM and take those attending back to Gateway of Hope at the end of the Celebration of Life... The family hopes all of the community will join with them to celebrate Well’s (Miles) life here on earth. In lieu of flowers the family request that contribution be made to “MILES BACKBACKS” at Christian Life Assembly or you can call CLA to donate at 604-530-7344 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm). We will be using the donations to fill backpacks and distribute them to the homeless of Langley in Miles name. An online obituary can be signed for the family to keep at: firstmemorialfuneral.com
