‘Extreme Home Repair’ family ‘over the moon’ By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

Sarah Scarrow and her children are “over the moon” with excitement over being selected as this year’s recipient of the Extreme Home Repair (EHR). Sarah is a single, working mother but despite the challenges of trying to update and repair their old full-size “B.C. Box” house on their own she says she, “still thought there are more needy people out there. I’m against complaining and there are people who have no home, but now all of a sudden we’re going to have a nice house.” This will be the 13th year for the Extreme Home Repair, a non-profit outreach program performed by the Aldergrove Adventist Church’s “Acts of Kindness” team (AOK). Established in 2004, the Extreme Home Repair project annually transforms the home of a local individual or family facing difficult circumstances related to their housing and resources. The project brings together over 200 volunteers, dozens of community-minded businesses, friends, family, and neigh-

and comfortable environment. Pastor Mike Dauncey leads

the EHR team and personally visits all the nominees to help

select the recipients each year. “We tour their homes, hear

their stories and discuss what needs to be done, sometimes more than once and Sarah is a single mom who needs help, she doesn’t have the means to do all that’s needed because she works full-time,” said Dauncey. “All three of her kids are adopted and she has a huge heart to do this, putting others first before herself. She thinks of others more than herself.” Sarah’s family was interviewed three times before Dauncey knocked on their door a couple weeks ago to give them the good news. “I answered the door and said, ‘Mom, you better get down here’ because he’s carrying flowers,” said Levi, the youngest son. Sarah’s daughter, Teara, smiled in agreement, adding that, “I knew we were selected when he came back a third time.” The urgent work on the Scarrow home includes new windows, drywall, insulation, electrical updating and finishing the basement, but there are many extras thrown in by the EHR team of volunteers and donors.

Windstorm knocks out power to 120,000 By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

Power was knocked out in parts of suburban and rural Aldergrove overnight March 11 as heavy wind gusts hit the Fraser Valley area. Fallen trees and heavy branches were responsible for much of the damage to BC Hydro lines throughout the area. The first major windstorm of 2016 cut power to more than

120,000 customers throughout the Lower Mainland and the Sunshine Coast, including more than 3,500 in Langley. On Thursday morning, 18 outages in the community had been directly attributed to the storm, which saw gusts reach over 90 km/h. Several more localized outages were described as being “under investigation” on the BC Hydro website.

Throughout Langley garbage and other debris — mostly small branches — were strewn across streets, lawns and parking lots. Traffic lights were out at a number of intersections in the both the City and Township during the morning rush hour. Drivers are reminded that the four-way stop procedure is to be used in any intersection where traffic lights have been rendered inoperable.

A large old deciduous tree on the former Aldergrove Elementary School site fell shortly before noon March 10 as result of continuing heavy winds. Fortunately, no one was injured when it fell across the sidewalk and eastbound lane of Fraser Hwy., although vehicles had to take turns driving around the fallen tree.

Work soon begins on Extreme Home Repair

news

Bunnies and Kids and Sheep, Oh My!

FROM FRONT:

New flooring, furnishings, cabinets and appliances are also part of the plan. Removal of old clutter has already begun, with the unwanted contents of the garage and backyard piled into a disposal bin last week. “They also said I should decide what furniture to toss and I said I’d have to look at my budget for replacement,” said Sarah. “They said ‘You don’t get it, do you?’ They are going to replace all the old furniture (unless there was anything she wanted to keep for its sentimental value).” Aldergrove Mini Storage is donating a locker for the family’s prized possessions while the work is done. The AOK team is also funding the family’s stay in a local hotel while the transformation takes place, as well as a kennel for their two cats for the two weeks. “It’s going to be somewhere local so I can drive to work at the warehouse,” noted Nikko, the oldest son. “Yes,” agreed Sarah. “I have to get to Abbotsford for my job for one of the weeks, but I do get one week off work. But we’ve agreed not to even be on our

street for those 16 days while they work on our house.” The “big reveal” takes place on Victoria Day, Monday, May 23, and usually upwards of 200 people people attend to cheer the family’s arrival and tour the house with the family. Dauncey says the EHR teams are in place with experienced leaders ready to do their jobs, and the recruitment of volunteer workers is beginning. “Many of our volunteers are taking their vacation time to do this, and donors of materials are ready to go too,” said Dauncey. “We’re never worried about it.” Many of the volunteers include past recipients of the EHR program on their own homes — and Sarah says she plans to do so herself in future years. “One of the women who volunteered said she was inspired by the look on the face of the family who had their home made over,” said Sarah. If you would like to help with this year’s project, phone Pastor Dauncey at 778-549-3896 or email extremehomevolunteer@gmail.com. The website is https://www.facebook.com/ AOKExtremeHomeRepair

Public meeting policy adopted Aldergrove Star

A new policy will formalize how public information meetings are hosted by developers in the Township of Langley. On March 7, Township Council adopted a Developer Held Public Information Meetings Policy that includes the criteria, logistics, and reporting requirements for meetings put on by developers through their own initiative or at the request of the Township. The need for the policy was put forward by the Township’s Community Participation, Infrastructure, and Environment Advisory Committee, and echoed in the findings of the Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement. Under the policy, public meetings will be scheduled in consultation with Township staff, and must be held in an accessible location, preferably close to the subject site. They should take place during or extend into the evening on weekdays so that those who work during

the day can attend. Weekends and holidays are to be avoided. Applicants must distribute advance notice of the meeting - along with a description of the proposal, a map, and contact information - through mailouts to affected property owners and residents, newspaper advertising, and on the proponent’s website. The public sessions can include open houses, presentations, displays, small group discussions, question and answer periods, and feedback forms and surveys. All relevant plans, studies, and technical information about the proposal must be made available for review at the event, and a sign in sheet will record the number of attendees. A member of the Township’s Community Development Division will attend to observe, answer Townshipspecific questions, and verify that input was correctly gathered and analysed. The proponent is also required to provide a summary report to the Township.

16 Avenue collision claims life By MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Aldergrove Star

After losing 15-year-old Lidia in a single-vehicle crash near Mission last Sunday morning, Langley’s Ramos family is now dealing with another tragic loss. Lidia’s cousin, Shaun Sutton, was killed yesterday evening in a collision at the intersection of 16 Avenue and 197A Street, reportedly while on his way to visit his grieving aunt, Angela — Lidia’s mother. Police were called at 5:30 p.m. on March 10 for what appeared to be a rear-end collision between a Ford Mustang and a Dodge Ram pickup truck.

Early investigation suggests the eastbound Mustang had stopped at 197A Street to make a left hand turn and was rear-ended by a Dodge pickup truck. There were three occupants in the Mustang, including Sutton in the back seat, who was killed. “I don’t know what my family has done so wrong that we are being (picked) off one by one,” Sutton’s aunt, Tanya Fincaryk, wrote on a Gofundme page that is raising money to cover his funeral costs. “I’m losing my faith and don’t know what to say or feel, I am feeling lost.

“So many people have already helped for Lidia Ramos, I am now asking you if you can please help my sister Leilani with paying to give her baby boy, her last one, a good funeral.” On March 11) the family held a candlelight vigil for Lidia at City Park at 6 p.m. It would have been her 16th birthday. The driver of the Ram and the other occupants of the Mustang sustained only minor injuries in Thursday’s crash. ICARS has been called to assist with the investigation. Any witnesses are asked to call Langley RCMP at 694-532-3200.

WHO’S WHO Who’s who I N A L D E R G R O V E

Trevin Sewell

‘Breakout’ supports athletes’ mental health Trevin Sewell, the assistant coach of the Aldergrove Kodiaks is behind a new support program has launched in B.C. that is aimed at providing professional and peer-based assistance with mental health issues in sports. “Breakout” has been formally adopted by the Pacific Junior Hockey League and the Aldergrove Kodiaks are the first junior B hockey team to sign on with the program. The program will roll out to the other nine PJHL clubs. B r e a k o u t ’s founder, Sean Dooley, had officially launched the program in January with the Nelson Leafs, where he also serves as assistant coach. On Feb. 10, Sewell and Dooley launched the program in Aldergrove at a meeting with the full Kodiaks team and management at Aldergrove Arena. Breakout helps provide the team’s mostly teenaged players with assistance and resources for issues faced by young athletes. Breakout’s model is “building lines of communication… and awareness.” This is accomplished through providing ongoing speakers and workshops on mental health issues, as well as providing clinical counsellors and concussions education.

The services are provided in conjunction with the B.C. provincial health services authority’s “MindCheck” program services to teens and young adults (see website: mindcheck.ca). Sewell said that as a young junior hockey player — he’s now 28 — he wished he had this kind of support then. “I didn’t understand my emotions… I hid my feelings, and substance abuse led me to a dark place, near death, before I saw the light at the end of the tunnel,” said Sewell. “Breakout is all confidential, and helps you understand why you’re feeling like you do and what to do about it.” Sewell noted that junior B hockey used to be disparagingly referred to as “jungle B” because of the scraps and fights that were once endemic to the game but the league has diligently moved to get rid of these excesses and to provide a positive “development” atmosphere for athletes to advance in their careers. “Breakout is not a social event, it’s survival,” added Dooley. “And it might save your life.” Breakout is on social media, via twitter @breakout.mh and on Facebook via “Breakout” or send an email to breakout. mh@outlook.com.

Funding supports sustainable agriculture Aldergrove Star

The Ecological Services Initiative’s (ESI) provincial conference was held in Langley on March 10 with the support of $4,000 in provincial government funding. Langley MLA Mary Polak said that the Township of Langley has been chosen as one of the provincial sub-regions participating in an innovative program launched by the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation, to work with farmers and ranchers to maintain and enhance ecological values on farmland. “The Ecological Services Initiative is a new and innovative program that provides incentives for agricultural producers who contribute to a healthy ecosystem: clean water, fish habitat and species at risk,” Dave Melnychuk, president of the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation, said. “On behalf of the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation, I would like to thank our MLA, Mary Polak, and the province of B.C. for being one of the co-sponsors of the conference on ESI held here in Langley.”

Housing survey shows that income of 47% of seniors less than $30,000 Aldergrove Star

Triple A (Affordable, Accessible, Appropriate) Senior Housing has released two reports that focus on housing for seniors in Langley City and Township. One is based on the results of a paper and online survey and the other is a report on a very successful Senior Housing Summit “ACTING NOW: Housing for our Aging Population”, held in September 2014. The reports contain

recommendations to all the Mayor and Council of the City and Township of Langley. Provincial MLAs and Federal MPs have also been challenged to champion support to enable local officials to respond to these recommendations. The reports were generated by Triple A Senior Housing and a working group of seniors. The need to address seniors housing requirements was first identified at a meeting of the Langley Community Seniors

Action Table (LCSAT). In the spring of 2013, a group of passionate seniors including representatives from the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP), the Langley Seniors Resource Society and LSCAT come together to explore this need. A decision was made to work to further the development and preservation of housing options for seniors in the City and Township of Langley. In November 2013 a half-day workshop entitled ‘Searching for Solutions to Senior’s Housing Concerns’ was held and the paper and online survey was launched. Among its findings the Langley Senior Housing Survey Report shows that an astonishing 75% of Langley seniors who live on an income below $30,000 spend more than 30% on shelter. In addition, 36% of respondents indicated that their housing is not meeting current mobility needs. The second report focuses on the Triple A Senior Housing Summit: “ACTING NOW: Housing for Our Aging Population” held in September 2014. This report is comprehensive and presents ‘made in Langley‘ recommendations that are representative of relevant policies and strategies gleaned from presentations made

by developers, representatives from Canada Mortgage and Housing, BC Housing, their nonprofit partners and summit participants. Among its recommendations this report calls for the preservation of existing rental stock by renovations and upgrades to current safety and accessibility standards. In addition, it requests the municipal governments to lobby BC Housing, the Ministry of Health and the Fraser Health Authority to take action to respond to the majority of older adults in the Langleys to ensure an adequate number of assisted living units and regulated services will be available to provide housing and care in their community when seniors are no longer able to live independently. Both reports have been sent to the three levels of government with recommendations to avoid a crisis in the senior housing market. Many of the recommendations are in line with stated goals of the municipal governments of the Township and City, so Triple A Senior Housing is optimistic that the recommendations will add impetus to future planning and policy development regarding affordable, accessible and appropriate housing for seniors in the Langleys.

Blueberry production rises By KIER JUNOS Aldergrove Star

Blueberry production in B.C. increased by about 4,500 tons in 2015, which marks the fruit’s highest level of production over the last decade. The province exported $169 million worth of blueberries in 2014, and it is one of the B.C.’s largest agriculture exports. The vast majority of blueberries grown in B.C. come from the Fraser Valley.

Canada-wide blueberry production is also at record highs. Almost 183,000 tons of blueberries were picked in 2015, which is about 700 tons more than last year. The land cultivated for blueberries in B.C. has almost doubled since 2006. Canada in total has increased its cultivated land for blueberries by a quarter since 2006. Canada is the world’s largest producer of wild blueberries, according to Agriculture Canada.

Her Brothers, an Aldergrove family band, are promoting the message of equality for females on their current concert tour.

‘Her Brothers’ call for more men to stand up for women’s rights Editor: What do Aldergrove rock band ‘Her Brothers’ and Prime Minister Trudeau share in common? Both want to see more men stand up for the rights of women. This past Friday Justin Trudeau shared a message calling for more men to join the fight for women’s rights (see https:// www.facebook.com/HuffPostCanada/ videos/1098407023512809/). The band responded with their message: https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=aIsMpdbSH6g Her Brothers was on the way back from a recent tour of schools in the mighty Peace Country of Alberta where they had shared this message with thousands of kids, when Trudeau’s comment crossed their radar. “Hey, that’s our message!” said lead singer

Gabe Penner. “As men we are in a unique position to challenge each other to a higher standard in the way we view and treat women.” Inspired by their little sister, the three brothers released their debut album “She” early last year. Playing schools, theatres, clubs and community events in both B.C. and Alberta, Her Brothers often ask audiences, “How many of you have sisters? How many of you have mothers?” Because that’s who we are talking about: our mothers, our sisters, our aunts and grandmothers. Together, let’s change the status quo. Let’s make Canada and our world a better place by encouraging one half of humanity, to stand up for the other half, for the benefit of all. http://herbrothers.com/ Teresa Penner, band manager, Aldergrove

Critic responds to Mayor and Council on Aldergrove pool

BC Press Council

The Aldergrove Star is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, PO Box 1356, Ladysmith, V9G 1A9. For information: phone 888-687-2213 or www.bcpresscouncil.org

Editor: Thank you to those on council who spoke for and voted for heat and a cover for the proposed Aldergrove pool. The pool and the water park are surely unique. That is what our mayor wanted for Aldergrove: A unique experience to use a recreation centre with insufficient parking as a way of revitalizing a commercial district. This pool with a cover is a start but the whole of council needs to work together to give Aldergrove a larger pool. What are the Township’s plans if they find upon opening that the pool is way too small to meet the needs of the Aldergrove community? Will they then renovate immediately at a higher cost to enlarge the pool or will they wait 40 or more years to build a larger pool in another setting? If the pool will truly be warm with heated cement, overhead heating and wind screen as Councilor Long states, swimming will be great for those people that will comfortably fit into the pool. When numbers are given for the pool capacity by officials, they are saying how many people could fit into the pool. The “capacity number” does not leave room for swimming. It only leaves room for standing and life guard watching, similar to what happens on a hot day in our present pool.

At least the changing of the boundaries of Brookswood/Fernridge to put the undeveloped land in south Brookswood into Fernridge, perhaps to develop it into a townhouse and condo clone of Willoughby, shows that council is not partial, and does not listen to Brookswood residents equally as much as Aldergrove residents despite the public engagement exercise. I’d really like to know why the Township of Langley will not make the year-round pool larger by eliminating the summer-only wave pool. A larger pool will attract more people for 12 months of the year, bringing more people to the downtown core to help with revitalization and giving more recreational opportunities to Aldergrove. A wave pool would be expensive to build and operate, eliminating those costs could pay for a larger pool. Really council has time if they have the will. Fix this before construction starts. Give Aldergrove the larger pool that it requires. We need at least a 35 metre, 8-lane pool to give room for a deep end and a variety of activities. Consider the needs of the Aldergrove community. You are close to giving Aldergrove the year-round pool that meets the needs of the community, but no cigar yet. Dianne Kask, Aldergrove

Editor: In reference to the news story ‘Councillor pushes for 16 Avenue safety upgrades’. According to this story some of the feedback given to Coun. Fox includes a quote regarding commuters not paying taxes and only want to get from A to B. I am one of those commuters, and I do pay taxes and I pay them to Langley Township. Having lived in Aldergrove and travelled 16 Avenue daily for over 20 years I find it objectionable that the writers or contributors to this story assume everyone travelling this route does not live locally. What I find amusing is that the Township seems to agree with Surrey that we need a truck park close to 192nd Street on 16th. What is needed is more safety inspections of the dump trucks using this route as there are always rocks etc. falling off the back of these trucks. If lights are to be installed it will only slow down traffic even more. Speed should be put up to 80 kph in keeping with other parts of this road in the Abbotsford area, and yes I know there will always be some who exceed that as there is on any other road locally. There is nothing wrong with the road, only the bad driving. The fact is that these trucks already slow everyone down; the other day drivers were down to 40 kph and some were passing trucks unsafely. Truck drivers are not the only ones with a job to do or get to, they also need to learn to leave phones alone when driving (quite a common sight) and it would be helpful if they at least attempted to stay within the lines on their side of the road; if the road is not wide enough for your vehicle then use a different route. Before all the truckers in the area get annoyed at these comments I do acknowledge that there are a lot of you out there who are safe drivers but sadly you are now in the minority and most cannot consider themselves to be ‘professional drivers’. Name withheld by request

Hwy. 13 a concern too

Editor: Now that Surrey and Langley elected officials have become aware of homeowner concerns for those living in the immediate area of 16 Avenue the one questions not addressed in the current information in the paper regards the impending consideration by B.C. Transportation for changing the status to a highway. This change would require expanding the road to four lanes with various needs required by the increasing heavy truck traffic. A search of the MoT web site is not very clear in roadway design requirements. I have located two different sets of drawings, one for rural locals and one for rural subdivision roads. Currently, my concerns are for the twinning of Highway 13. Using the drawings on the MoT site it is more than apparent that there is not enough room between my lot line to accommodate the required width of road. As it currently stands, it is not in design compliance. The same is more than apparent for the requirements for 16 Avenue. MoT 1420.05.02 apparently asks for a road surface of 25 metres or, for us old folk, 82 feet for two lanes or 164 feet for four lanes. The ditches add another 10 feet per side. The required road width is not available in Aldergrove without land expropriation from 29 Street to Fraser Highway and beyond. The province and the associated townships have a very serious conundrum: proceed immediately or wait until the costs skyrocket into the stratosphere and become “unobtainium.” A quandary indeed. Terry Brenan, Aldergrove

Council commended for action

Editor: I would like to make the following comment based on the current situation regarding 16 Avenue safety concerns. I have been watching closely the comments and actions of many in the public and on Township council over the past many months. I have had many discussions with very passionate and well intended groups, individuals and council members who have the best interests of Langley at heart. I am no different. I am a current resident of this community and have raised my children in this community for 35 years.

Township is making progress on issue

Welcome to B.C., freeloaders

Langley should be proud of itself for being one of the top communities to live in the Lower Mainland and this province. I truly believe progress is being made on a process to begin sooner than later in an effort to resolve the more immediate issues of safety upgrades to 16 Avenue, specifically controlled crossings. That is evident by Coun. Charlie Fox’s motion to Council to get road improvements such as traffic signals and pull outs on the table. I feel compelled to commend Coun. Fox for that motion and Coun. Kim Richter for her support of the motion and her comments regarding putting Langley first. I thank the rest of council for referring the motion for further follow up and discussion and not killing it at the table. As a community we have to work together with our elected officials rather than making their jobs more difficult by unsubstantiated and unnecessary criticism. They live in this community as well and want a safe community as much as anyone else. However, they have very difficult decisions to make regarding the 16 Avenue issue that requires sober thought and reflection, along with obtaining all possible facts and input. I am convinced that council has heard the South Langley citizens regarding our safety concerns and inability to cross and enter 16 Avenue safely. They are now trying to find a resolution sooner rather than later. We need to assist them in that process whenever and wherever possible. I am sure council realizes what the ultimate costs good be to this community if there is yet again inaction on this issue. Now is the time to finally move forward on 16 Avenue and find the funding to start the process of making 16 Avenue whole lot safer for those of us — and there are many — who put our lives at risk every day trying to cross and enter 16 Avenue at uncontrolled intersections. Traffic signals and pull outs are a great and long over due immediate step. Peter Thiessen, South Langley

As the B.C. government spends millions on an international brand campaign with the recycled slogan “Super, Natural B.C.,” another brand identity has spread across Canada. This one’s unintentional. It hit a new peak last week with the arrival of two young men from Saskatchewan, who were given one-way tickets to Vancouver and Victoria by typically burdened social services ministry staff in North Battleford. Sorting through the blizzard of soothing sound bites and sympathetic TV clips, a clearer picture emerges. In his initial interview with the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, Charles Neil-Curly, at 23 the elder of the two, said he decided to head west when shelter staff told him his time had run out and he asked for bus tickets to B.C. “When they asked if I had a place to go, I just said, ‘yeah’,” Neil-Curly said. “I was going to the next homeless shelter anyway.” Transients and panhandlers aren’t the only ones who say whatever they figure will get them through another day. Politicians do it too. Admitting she knew little about the arrivals, Premier Christy Clark suggested that both were mentally ill and deserve every support the province can give them.

overdoses, violence and prostitution. Coleman assured us it hasn’t happened in Abbotsford or Maple Ridge, where tent camps have finally been cleaned up after shelters and housing were provided. The next day, he was asked if transitional accommodations would be sufficient to end the camp. “They’re not actually all that transitional,” Coleman replied. “We’ll take Mount Edwards through a zoning process. We’ve got about 100 beds there. We’ve bought the building so it’s hardly transitional. We’ve permanently done that.” Fast forward to March 11. The 38 Mount Edwards spaces are full, another 40 rooms and camping spaces at a former youth custody centre are almost full, and the province applies for a court order to clear the Victoria camp. A representative of the advocacy group Together Against Poverty Society goes on local radio to pledge legal support for the campers. How many are there now? At least 100, he says. Meanwhile in Maple Ridge, where the “homeless” problem is all fixed, Coleman has just extended temporary shelter funding and paid $5.5 million for a 61-room motel to fix it some more.

Hop in to ‘Bunnies & Baskets’ Tulip Fest in country Aldergrove Star

Looking for something fun to do with your family this Easter long weekend? Join the Langley Centennial Museum at 9135 King Street in Fort Langley for the second annual Bunnies & Baskets event. The “egg-citing” event runs on Saturday, March 26 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon and again from 1:30 to 3:30 pm.. The fee is $10 for a family of four. Activities include a scavenger egg hunt in the History Gallery where participants can try to find all the eggs that Peter Rabbit has hidden. There will also be a variety of arts and crafts projects that families can build and create together, including Easter baskets, rabbit masks, and egg painting and dyeing. There will be live bunnies to pet, relay races, and word from the carrot patch is that the

Easter Bunny will also make an appearance. “Last year was the very first year the museum hosted this event and it was a huge success,” said Township of Langley arts and culture programmer Maggie Lukban. “We had six stations set up around the museum, so there were lots of creative opportunities for busy little hands. The petting zoo was a popular attraction and families enjoyed having various activities they could complete at their own pace. This event had a morning and afternoon session and both sold out. You will not want to miss the family friendly event, so register early!” To register or for more information about these programs or any other programs and events Langley Centennial Museum offers call 604-5323536 or visit museum.tol.ca.

Aldergrove United Eyes Pakenham Cup

Pakenham Cup one of oldest in all of Canada Aldergrove Star

ART BANDENIEKS PHOTO

The Aldergrove United of the Umbro Premier League (the highest division in the Fraser Valley Soccer League) celebrate after winning their quarter-final game against West Vancouver FC Spurs in Pakenham Cup action on a rainy and blustery Friday night in Aldergrove. Aldergrove United now move on play a semi-final game against Langley United, March 18 in Langley.

Banner Year for Aldergrove Admirals

SUBMITTED PHOTO

The Aldergrove Admirals went 9-0-1 in League play and 5-0 in playoffs to win both banners this season. Players are (top, left to right) Linden Hastie, Nicholas Wenlock, Donovan Broten, Devon Graham, Noah Sitnik, Ishaan Sidhu, (bottom, left to right) Lucas Kawamoto, Johnny MacFarland, Jack MacGregor, Darian Hunt, Marcus Fallowfield and Tommy Westle. Coaches are Jim MacGregor, Bob Sitnik, Darcy Broten and Jeff Kawamoto.

The Pakenham Cup is the “Grand daddy” of soccer cups competed for in Canada. Mr. Fred Pakenham of Mission donated this exquisite silver cup for challenge competition in 1909. It was then one of Mr. Pakenham’s prized possessions, having been given to the Pakenham family much earlier by King George III of England. Competition was encouraged amongst the Valley teams east of New Westminster, Mission City was selected as the site for each Cup Final. The Pakenham Cup is now famous, not only for being the oldest cup still in competition, but also for its habit of getting lost. During its existence as a soccer cup, it has been out of circulation for a total of 32 years. It disappeared the first time after the 1927 season and finally showed up 21 years later in a secondhand store. It disappeared again after the 1965 competition. At that time, most of the Fraser Valley teams east of New Westminster played in a separate division of the Mainland League. A few Valley teams played in the Mainland League itself. The 1965 Cup winners, Port Coquitlam, was one such team. When the Fraser Valley Soccer League was officially formed the same year, Port Coquitlam refused to switch over to the

Valley League. When the Valley asked for the Cup to be returned for the 1966 competition, Port Coquitlam hid the Cup and rumored that the Pakenham, along with the Bradner Cup, had been stolen by vandals from the trophy case at the Commercial Hotel. Somehow the Bradner Cup reappeared in time for the 1966 presentation, but the Pakenham Cup could not be traced. When the Valley League insisted on a replacement, Don March, who headed a second Port Coquitlam team in the Valley League, purchased a substitute cup which was presented annually for the next six years, 1966 to 1971, in place of the original Pakenham Cup. In 1972, almost as mysteriously as it had disappeared, the Pakenham Cup reappeared. It was recovered by Don March, who promptly returned it to the Valley. Arthur Pakenham, of Seattle, personally presented the Cup that year. Anyone who is lucky enough to get a close look at the Pakenham Cup, will notice the two winners in 1951. The reason is the longest Pakenham Final on record, a game lasting well over four hours. After a full game and three overtime periods, Bradner and Mission decided to call it a draw and to share honours. The competition was not held from 1915 to 1920, the war years.

Pucek to make local debut at Clash @ the Cascades 42 Aldergrove Star

Friday’s Clash @ The Cascades was going to be the first pro am in the Clash series, however, the pro fight was postponed to April 1. Canadian Featherweight Champion Sarah Pucek, a local fighter, will fight April 1 in a non-title fight at Clash @ The Cascades 42. It will be the first time Pucek will get a chances to fight in front of a hometown crowd. At the Friday at Clash 41 the main event saw B.C. Super Middleweight Champion Julian Kim defend his title against #1 contender Brandon Busby. The

first round was competitive; the second saw Kim start to find a way to make Busby miss while countering with short clean shots. A solid shot hurt Busby and referee Dale Walters stepped in and gave him an eight count. After the eight count the bell went to end the second. The third round it looked like Busby had not recovered. Kim measured him then landed and the fight was stopped. It goes in the book as a third round KO. Brandon Busby was ranked #1 because he is a formidable fighter. Kim dispatched him, making it look easy. The semi main was also a

B.C. title fight with Josh Wright of Ocean City Boxing, the former Super Welterweight Champion, facing Ari Ashari of Raincity Boxing in a five round title bout. This was a very close fight boxed at a very high level, with a decision going to Ari Ashari. Boxing fans were not happy with the result feeling Wright had won. The fight will be rematched April 1 at the Cascades. Langley City Boxing’s Chris Chiavacci had his biggest challenge to date facing Kurtis Waterston of Carlson Gracie’s in a Super Lightweight fight. The fight was spirited, however,

Chiavacci would not be denied, landing a devastating right hand several times. Waterston went down twice and the fight was stopped by referee Gregg Harrison late in the second round. In an all-Surrey match Manny Dhillon of Suitelas Gym faced Buneet Bisla of Bilslas Gym in a four round fight. In the early part of the fight Bisla was a little too fast for Dhillon, and as the fight progressed it became closer, however, the decision went to Bisla. In a youth bout Jerrell Serrano of Port Kells rematched Manraj Dhanoa at 147 lbs.in a

very good bout. The fight was very close and was awarded to Manraj Dhanoa. The next Clash @ The Cascades will feature Fort Langley’s Sarah Pucek, who is the current Canadian Featherweight champion. Pucek will fight Stephanie Essensa of Red Deer Alberta in a non-itle professional fight. Also on the card will be the rematch between Josh Wright and Ari Ashari for a B.C. Super Welterweight Championship and another half dozen amateur fights. Clash @ The Cascades 42 will be the first pro am of the Sarah Pucek of Langley Boxing Club series.
