Langley students headed back to school on Tuesday, as the new academic year started for all 42 schools in the district.

The day was particularly special for staff and students at one location in WIlloughby.

The gym floor was free of scuff marks, and the basketball nets were bunched up under the hoops, having never seen a ball pass through.

The school library shelves were still a little empty, and the outdoor PA system didn’t quite work yet.

The brand-new Richard Bulpitt Elementary opened its doors on Tuesday for the first time, adding another elementary school to Langley’s fast-growing northwestern area.

Parents and kids met the new staff and principal Lucy Lenko under typical fall weather – a heavy dark cloud hung over the grounds and dumped heavy rain during a flag raising ceremony.

That didn’t stop some family members of the school’s namesake from raising the B.C. and Canadian flags for the first time.

The school is named for the late Langley superintendent of schools Richard Bulpitt.

A well-liked administrator, he

Valerie Bulpitt raised the Canadian flag for the first time at the elementary school that bears her husband’s name, while family, district staff, and RCMP Const. Vonna Fitzgerald looked on.

“This is such an honour,” said Valerie, Richard’s wife, after the flag raising.

She had stopped by the previous day to tour the school with Lenko, who knew and trained under Bulpitt.

“It’s wonderful to see my husband’s legacy continued,” said Valerie.

Also at the flag raising were Cindy Moller, the Bulpitts’ daughter, grandson Phoenix Moller, and the Bulpitts’ son Corey.

Bulpitt’s most recent successor as district superintendent, Suzanne Hoffman, was also there to watch the school open.

Richard Bulpitt Elementary, designed for Kindergarten to Grade 5, is a two-storey school with capacity for up to 510 students. Built east of 208th Street on 77A Avenue, it is one of several schools built or planned in recent years to take the pressure off R.C. Garnett and Willoughby Elementary schools, both of which are overcrowded and have a number of portable classrooms.

Richard Bulpitt School will graduate next year to the new middle school currently under construction just to the west of 208th Street on 84th Avenue.

The late Richard Bulpitt retired as superintendent of schools in 2000, after a 35-year career as educator and principal. He had worked at the board office, and as a principal at Belmont, Noel Booth, and Fort Langley Elementary schools, as well as at Langley Fine Arts.

A tremendous display of sportsmanship earlier this summer has earned a local girls rep fastpitch team a prestigious award.

On Nov. 9 in St. Louis, Mo., members of the Fraser Valley Fusion 97 will receive a Musial

Fraser Valley Fusion team members carried Surrey batter Raelyn Radovich to home plate during the U16 A girls fastpitch provincials, held in Victoria in late July.

Award (named for the late Cardinals Hall of Famer Stan Musial) during a ceremony that recognizes extraordinary acts of sportsmanship.

LANGLEY GOOD TIMES CRUISE-IN… Events schedule and map on page A17

The Fusion is currently fundraising to send its entire team to St. Louis to accept the award, which came as a result of a selfless act during the provincial

championships at the end of July.

While the Fusion fell 7-0 to the Delta Heat 97 in the gold medal final of the U16 A provincials held at Victoria’s Helmcken Park, the team, which includes a handful of Langley players, left a lasting impression.

During the Fusion’s playoff game against the Surrey Storm – when a loss would have dashed their chances of winning a medal – the Storm’s Raelyn Radovich hit a three-run home run to tie the game. But while rounding first base, Radovich twisted her ankle and by the time she got to third base, was in serious pain. continued on page A4…

Spectators will be asked to donate at this year’s show.

by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

It’s his first time at the helm of Langley’s single largest community event of the year.

Eric Taylor is president of Langley Good Times Cruise-In, and in the days leading up to the annual charity car show, he said sleep is evading him, while his staff jokingly say they don’t recognize him because he’s been at work so seldom lately.

All of his time – like that of the other “devoted” directors – has been consumed with preparations for Cruise-In. The Cruise-In is an annual family-oriented event held in downtown Langley. This year’s charity car show is being held Saturday, Sept. 7, from 9 a.m. to roughly 6 p.m. and it is expected to host more than 700 classic, custom, and vintage automobiles and upwards of 100,000 guests have been known to attend the show.

“We have an excellent board of directors who have all sorts of skills and knowledge, which collectively lead to a great show…” he said.

“And these board members have been working day and night to get it done and to make it better than last year,” he said, still in awe of all that’s involved in making the event happen.

“This is my first year as president, and my eyes have been opened wide to the amount of work to pull off this show,” Taylor said, feeling a little fatigued just a few days ahead.

He’s not the only new face on

The Langley Community Music School is changing with the technology. The school has a new website going live on Sept. 7 which just happens to also be the school’s annual open house. The open house runs 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 4899 207th St. • More online

the board, noting there a few other new directors. And with new people comes new ideas.

Admittedly, he said there have been some small changes to this year’s show, but not much that will impact the public greatly.

Changes have included updating the website, adding a new membership program, garnering new sponsorship, and collecting donations on-site.

While admission continues to be free, the Cruise-In committee has partnered with the Salvation Army this year, in hopes of collecting cash from the crowd.

“We hope that people understand that the Cruise-in is a charity event. All funds raised go to

local charities,” Taylor said.

Sponsors and vendor fees cover all the costs that go in to putting on the show, he explained. Then part of the sponsorship money, along with all dollars garnered from car registration – and now donations – go back to the community in the form of donations.

Taylor wants to see those donations increase, and hopes working with the Salvation Army will bring that about.

“Our experiment with the Salvation Army is just the common sense approach being taken.

The Salvation Army has a system to give large groups of people the opportunity to donate to their cause, but the Salvation Army is

dependent on people gathering together. The Langley Cruise-In attracts an enormous crowd, and we have never had a system of asking people for a donation,” Taylor said. He elaborated that a loonie from each patron would help Cruise-In charities greatly.

In addition to the thousands raised for local service groups and charity organizations each year, Taylor said Cruise-In once again expected to make a significant infusion into the local economy.

“For a one-day event to bring in $6 million (in economic spinoff) is pretty impressive,” he said of the estimated impact.

“It was used in a number of other crimes in the Langley area,” said Marks.

On Aug. 30, the truck was recovered in the back of a lot in the 19800 block of 56th Avenue, not far from where it had originally been stolen.

Police did not locate the driver. The vehicle has been turned over to forensic specialists for fingerprints, DNA or other evidence to identify the thief.

Run for Terry sprints back

E S U N HO MBER 7

Everyone and their dogs are invited to this year’s Terry Fox run.

Langley Advance files

A toddler at the 2012 Terry Fox Run in Langley City didn’t exactly enjoy the company of Scotiabank’s Sizzle the Savings Pig, which visited last September’s event.

This year’s event will have scenic one-, five- and 10-kilometre routes so everyone at any fitness level can take part.

Participants are invited to run, walk, ride or scoot.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the run begins at 10 a.m. sharp.

The Lounge Brothers are back to entertain the participants in the park.

In addition, runners will be treated to entertainment along the route including Dave the Musician and Michelle Drumfoot.

There will be a concession stand on site offering hot dogs and hamburgers grilled by the Langley City firefighters.

Peak H20 will be on hand with water and because this is a festive event, organizers have invited face painters and clowns.

The annual Terry Fox Run’s have raised more than $800 million for cancer research since 1980 and 84 cents of each dollar raised goes to cancer research.

“Join us on Sunday, Sept. 15 to honour a great Canadian hero, get some exercise and raise some money to combat this horrible disease,” added Fuller.

For more information or to get involved, call 604533-0638.

THE

Organizers of the Terry Fox Run in Langley City are inviting everyone and their dog to participate in this year’s event.

“Many community events discourage people bringing their dogs but not us. We want to invite people to come out, support the event and bring along their best friend,” run chair Lilianne Fuller said. “We just ask that the dog be leashed and that the owners pick up after their pet. Plastic bags will be provided compliments of the City of Langley.”

To encourage participation, there will be an added incentive. For a small donation the management and staff at Brookswood K9 Design dog groomers will be on hand providing “puppy pedicures.”

So come early and get your pooch ready to look their best.

The 33rd annual Terry Fox Run takes place on Sunday, Sept. 15.

The Langley City run will take start at Douglas Park Spirit Square.

Volunteers ensure good times for all

You might think that it’s the cars that power the Langley Good Times Cruise-In around the block and back again.

But actually, it’s the volunteers.

Indeed, volunteers like those who comprise the engine that has driven the annual (except for one brief rest) Langley Good Times Cruise-In since the mid-1990s embody the spirit that you can find LANGLEY in every movIMES ing part under GOOD T CRUISE-IN Langley’s hood.

Sept. 7, 2013 Undoubtedly, that is why the volunteers who keep the Cruise-In purring smoothly also keep numerous other volunteer and charity efforts throughout the community operating in high-gear throughout the year.

Every penny raised by the Langley Good Times Cruise-In ends up in the fuel tanks of local charities.

Somehow, that adds even more muscle to all those hundreds of shiny autos – from roadsters to hot rods, from antiques to sleekly modern beauties – that will line the street through downtown Langley City once again this Saturday.

And it adds extra purpose (whether or not they realize it!) to the tens of thousands of spectators who will arrive in the downtown core to ogle the paint-jobs and engines and sleek, babied vehicles that are the rightful pride and joy of those who delight in delighting others with the automotive artistry they have accomplished.

Every year, the Langley Good Times Cruise-In brings in huge crowds with their dollars for merchants – and for local participating charities – to experience one of this community’s biggest, boldest, and most charitable endeavours.

Volunteers… start your engines!

Ads speak to heart of American irony

Dear Editor, It was with consternation that I received a local flyer with a full-page ad for assault rifles and other

restricted weapons.

Communications

First cellphones, then banks

Dear Editor, The pleas of “unfair” tactics by the cellphone providers, which include Telus and Rogers, are ironical indeed, and cause me to chuckle.

For years they have been over-charging for cellphone use (among the highest charges in the world) and they have been warned time and again by the federal government to stop “gouging” the Canadian public.

But alas, their greed prevailed, and the federal government responded accordingly.

I, for one, welcome Verizon.

Now if the feds would take a look at the greed (and profits) of the Canadian banks…

can think of no conceivable reason for civilians to possess tactical weapons with large magazines and bayonets.

I recently returned from a trip to Colorado. I find it supremely ironic that in the so-called “Land of the Free” there are so many security restrictions and cultural curbs based on the fear of gun violence, yet in the name of “Freedom,” they dare not tackle the thorny issue of reasonable restrictions on their Second Amendment rights.

I sincerely hope we do not reach that slippery slope, where we feel the need to “arm all the kindergarten teachers” here in Canada.

Employment

Job applicants’ attitude mystifying

Dear Editor, I’m a bit mystified.

I’m the owner of a well-established retail store in Langley. Over the past several years the business has grown to the point that I’m ready to hire some extra help. I am offering a full-time sales job within the store.

I am offering more than minimum wage, with an incentive bonus structure. The ideal candidate would have a can-do attitude, great customer service skills, the desire to learn on the job, and the ability to pitch in wherever needed.

Too much to ask? I didn’t think so. I have placed ads in the various different job-related internet venues, both government and private sector.

Over the past two weeks I’ve been

reviewing resumes received, and have scheduled interviews with nine of the most promising applicants. Of those nine candidates offered interviews, only one showed up for her appointment. Not a single word from the eight others!

Why am I mystified? I thought there was a shortage of available jobs, and I thought I would be deluged with applications. It seemed like a great idea to offer full-time employment to those looking for work.

Apparently, I’m naive. So much for the lack of work in B.C.!

Langley Advance readers once again selected the Best of the Best for 2013. The list was published in a special section last week, which (above) members of the Re/Max team flipped through at Thursday’s awards reception where guest speaker Angie Quaale (right) spoke.

I found it a little intimidating being in the company of such greatness last week, during the Best of the Best awards celebration in Walnut Grove.

Okay, maybe I wasn’t so much intimidated, as I was in awe. There were some pretty impressive and inspiring people in the crowd.

I know that feeling was shared by guest speaker Angie Quaale, owner of Well Seasoned gourmet food store and the former chamber president.

In fact, she said it perfectly: “Truly, I am in awe of all of you and the work that you do to build your businesses and to build our community.”

Well said, Angie.

“You guys make Langley what it is!” she elaborated in her keynote address to the crowd of award recipients who gathered under tents – avoiding the rain – at The Redwoods golf course last Thursday.

A well-recognized and lauded entrepreneur in her own right, Quaale applauded the 125 other business owners – many in attendance – who were selected

by Langley Advance reader as the Best of the Best.

Each year for the past 16 years, the Langley Advance has held the annual survey, allowing readers to vote for their favourite local businesses.

“You make me as a businessperson in Langley better at what I do,” Quaale said, adding that the community is a better place to live and work because of people and businesses like those recognized at the

Carrier

ceremony.

She expressed gratitude to this newspaper, as well, for recognizing the entrepreneurs in Langley, noting it builds community and motivates others to excel.

“If it wasn’t for your restaurants and your hotels, and your real estate offices here in Langley, everyone would just live here and leave Langley to work all day and it would be a complete ghost town.”

But it is not. It is a thriving metropolis, with thriving businesses, and a thriving economy.

“I really appreciate the work you guys do to be good neighbours in our community,” Quaale added. “Your businesses and your efforts to be the best at what you do really does make a difference.”

While I don’t want to single out one winner as being better than the others, I didn’t have time to chat with everyone. I did, however, visit briefly with Bozena Pappas of Kosta’s Greek Restaurant.

She and her husband Kostas have been in business on Fraser Highway for 13 years, and in keeping with what Angie said, they believe what has keep them in business all these years – and a winner of the Best of the Best awards for 11 years running – is their fresh food and primarily their customer service (literally knowing many of their customers by name and knowing food allergies and preferences).

Likewise, Matthew Purdy of Toy Traders, said his 18-year-old business is all about people – not only his 30-plus staff (many who have been with him for more than a decade) but the “thousands of customers who support us.”

It’s those people he credits with helping Toy Traders earn Best of the Best accolades repeatedly through the years.

A trailer like this one was stolen in Willoughby over the long weekend.

Crime

Stolen tools recovered, trailer search continues Someone’s stolen tools have been found; police are looking for a trailer.

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley RCMP are looking for a stolen trailer, but have found a shopping cart full of stolen tools and goods.

Sometime between the night of Aug. 29 and the morning of Sept. 2, a thief took a utility trailer from the 2100 block of 79A Avenue in Willoughby, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The trailer is a galvanized steel utility box from Home Depot, worth about $1,200.

It may still have the original license plate of UBV 97D, or it may have been swapped out by the thief, said Marks.

Anyone with information on the missing trailer is being asked to call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

In better news, police recovered a shopping cart full of apparently stolen tools were found the grounds of Shortreed Elementary.

Recovered were: • a Mastercraft Drill (in a case with a spare battery) • a Jobmate tool kit with a variety of hand tools • Three screw drivers with two sets of keys attached • a Delta grinder (tool bag attached with a variety of tools) Also recovered was a red RL BMX bike and a black sweatshirt with the logo for Flying Monkey’s Motorcycle Club on the back.

If you think any or all of these items may belong to you, you can call the RCMP.

“A number of years ago, we wanted to do something for the community’s sake,” Van Spronsen said.

“We just want to give back to the community we live in.”

BBBSL is very appreciative of the support.

“It’s huge. We’re really privileged and honoured that they would pick us once again to be the charity benefiting,” said BBBSL administrative assistant Elvira Romanchik.

Funds generated from the event allow BBBSL to effectively match more children and mentors, and impact more families’ lives in a positive way Romanchik added.

There are also plenty of activities surrounding the hockey.

“Come by to support the event,” Romanchik said.

“Anybody in the community can come out for a fun few hours, or for the entire day.”

BBBSL and Grant Thornton will have staff on site, volunteering their efforts.

Show allows artist to give back to hospice Art show and sale

Langley artist Murray Phillips wants this year’s The West Fine Art Show to pay homage to his late wife.

by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

A

s Murray Phillips wheeled his wife Betty’s stretcher a short distance across the parking lot, from Langley Memorial Hospital to the Langley Hospice, she thanked him for insisting on the stroll and for giving her one last chance to see the spring flowers blooming and to hear the birds chirping.

Then, she turned to her husband of 46 years, and told him she was not afraid of dying, “but Murray I need your help, I want to live my dying well.”

“I was immediately struck by the calmness and honesty of her request. But, I wondered, how does one do that,” Murray shared with the Langley Advance.

Admittedly, he was apprehensive about moving her to hospice. He knew Betty wanted to spend her last days at home. But, less than an hour after arriving at hospice, the Phillips both knew they’d made the right choice by opting for hospice instead of home.

That was in early May, and 24 days later Betty lost her battle with cancer.

“We were able to spend such rich time together,” he explained.

“I didn’t know how significant hospice would be for us,” Murray added. “And I didn’t have any idea how devastated I would be. I’m functioning. I’m working and I’m painting. But, there’s a huge sense of loss.”

Earlier this week, sitting in a rocker in his home-based art studio, a tearful Murray recounted numerous conversations they shared during those days, noting they continued their rituals

Well-recognized Langley artists Brian Croft (top left) and Murray Phillips (right) are once again co-hosting The West Fine Art Show in Surrey this weekend in Surrey. The show will feature pieces by both these artists, including one of Croft’s newest creations Drive-In Heaven – a painting of the former Langley A&W drive-thru (left) – and a painting of roses from Murray that he created in honour of his wife Betty (right), who passed away of cancer in June at the age of 70. This weekend’s art show is a tribute to Betty. of singing together, reminiscing, art show in honour of Betty. children as a teacher and later as and reading poetry and scripture.

The three-day show will feature a hand-picked team of 17 Western Canadian artists, including Murray (www.murrayphillipsart.com) and his fellow Langley artist and friend, Croft (www.briancroft.com).

This duo make an odd pair of friends indeed. Murray is the proverbial hippie and mountain man type – who actually heads out into the woods for four months a year to paint nature.

In stark contrast, there’s Croft, a former fighter pilot recognized for his detailed, and historically accurate landmark paintings.

The two very different personalities became fast friends almost 19 years ago, when Croft entered Murray’s Westwind Gallery in downtown Langley with a few watercolours he hoped to sell.

“He didn’t kick me out, and he even put them up on the walls,” Croft recounted.

Friends ever since, the duo started The West Fine Art Show together four years ago.

It’s held each fall at Indian Springs Land and Cattle Co. at 19339 8th Ave. in Surrey, at the ranch owned by Margaret and Senator Gerry St. Germain – where Murray had a studio for a number of years before buying a home in Murrayville that allowed room for a home studio.

The West opens Friday, Sept.

6 with Red Robinson on hand from 7 to 10 p.m., then Saturday, Sept. 7 the show continues from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with Shell Busey serving up pancake breakfasts until 11 a.m. And, the event wraps up Sunday, running 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Admission is free, but again donations for hospice are being accepted.

For more information about this weekend’s show, people can visit www.westart.ca.

“I really want to see this show succeed and I really want to see hospice succeed,” Murray said.

Seniors band helps put the good times in Cruise-In

The Happy Gang performs at the Douglas Park bandshell Saturday.

by Ronda Payne

news@langleyadvance.com

Nothing causes the brain to turn nostalgic like an old familiar song.

When that song is sung by

people who love what they do and have smiles on, it’s hard not to sing along.

The Happy Gang is a group of seniors who will do a few “old standards” at Langley Good Times Cruise-In and hope to get folks to sing along.

Bob Taylor, father of Cruise-In president Eric Taylor, will be performing with about 15 other members of The Happy Gang at the bandshell in Douglas

“I think there’s going to be about 15 singers, plus me, plus my pianist,” Taylor said, describing group members as, “all happy people.”

The group has been together for about 12 years. They change members as “things happen,” Taylor noted. He mentioned that attrition happens in life, and everyone

in the group is “fine with that.”

“Singing is an exceptionally important part of my life,” he said. “I’m not a professional, I just love to sing. I’m 80 years old.

I grew up singing and everyone learned to sing.”

Take in the songs that inspire singing along at this year’s Cruise-In and see why Taylor says, “Music is wonderful stuff.

It ties everyone together.”

Car clubs are always welcome to the Langley Good Times Cruise-In.

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

A convoy of LAMBs will converge upon downtown Langley this weekend.

No need to panic, or call the SPCA, because in this case, these are members of the Langley Area Mostly British Motoring Club (LAMB).

LAMB club members will be showing their cars at the Langley Good Times Cruise-In this Saturday.

One of the largest show and shines in Canada, Cruise-In draws as many as 100,000 car enthusiasts into Langley City, where hundreds of classic and souped-up cars, trucks, and motorcycles will be on display.

Between 12 and 15 cars owned by LAMB members are scheduled to be on display including a Morris Minor, MGTD, MGB, Rover, Jaguar XJS, Healey, Austin 1800, and Lotus.

“I believe we have a number of cars that will be in Douglas Park for the CruiseIn,” LAMB club member Martin Ross said. “We have had cars in the show for a

5451 - 204th Street, Langley www.langleylodge.org

number of years.”

The concourse area in Douglas Park is dedicated for factory original cars.

“The British cars fit right in there,” said Cruise-In president Eric Taylor, who is trying to encourage more club members to participate, and make their cars and trucks visible, on the day of the event.

“Any cars that show up as a group, we want to park them together, as long as they show up together. They need to stage together,” Taylor said “If we get car club groups together in one place, people will be more inclined to join them. One of the things about having car clubs in, is they tend to attract more people.

The more people come, the better it is.”

Looking ahead to Saturday, the number of participants and registrants involved in Cruise-In is entirely weatherdependent, Taylor said.

“If there is good weather right after the long weekend then come the Saturday the seventh, there will be a lot of cars coming out,” he said. “That’s generally how it works out. We will have a tremendous turnout if we have good summer weather. If it is threatening rain, that will reduce the numbers dramatically.”

Performance

Riders offer thrills For more than 70 years, the Seattle Cossacks Motorcycle Team has wowed crowds.

by Ronda Payne

news@langleyadvance.com

The motorcycles themselves are impressive, but what the Seattle Cossacks Motorcycle Stunt and Drill Team do with those 1930s to 1940s Harley Davidson’s is even more significant.

For the first time ever, the stunt team is coming to Cruise-In – quite an honour according to Martin Brown, the vice president of the Langley-based motor vehicle event, since the team hasn’t been to Canada in eight years.

“They do driving motorcycle stunts that are gymnastic and acrobatic,” Brown said. “It’s a very lively display.”

The team of about 20 members who continue to build on a history that began in the late 1930s will join the abundance of things to see at Cruise-In. As the original group formed, they established a set of bylaws that includes “To entertain and promote

Policing

RCMP prepared for crowds of car lovers Police will be out in sizeable numbers and watching out for dangerous or drunk driving.

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley’s Mounties are expecting a repeat of last year’s Good Times Cruise-In when it comes to policing – meaning there will be plenty of officers around, but no major problems expected.

Police have consistently had most of their issues with non-sanctioned events taking place the night before Cruise-In. On the Friday night, Industrial Avenue between 200th and 203rd Streets became a popular spot to stage burnouts and for some drivers to peel out at high speeds.

In 2011, the Langley RCMP gathered a large number of officers nearby; the burnouts started at around 7 p.m. and stopped abruptly at 7:10 p.m. when police in cars, on bikes, and on foot descended on the area

by the dozen.

Last year the area was quiet and heavily policed.

Other drivers have created an informal cruising route that includes the nearby Tim Horton’s on Glover Road, and Fraser Highway. That event has typically gone smoothly.

Police will be concentrating on driving and liquor offenses throughout the weekend, and will have police on foot and bike patrols among the crowds downtown during the actual Cruise-In in downtown Langley City.

Care for figs, tomatoes Dear Anne

“My container fig tree is about three to four years old, with one and a half dozen figs that are smallish, hard, and showing no signs of ripening. It is planted in a 14”x14”x14” container.

Could you suggest a fertilizer to help fruit ripen? I am planning to root-prune and top-cut it next February and repot it in the same container.”

T

Barbara, via email

here’s no fertilizer that can help figs ripen. Figs come from warmer climates, where they easily ripen two crops a year. Non-ripening figs belong to the second “breba” crop.

Our cooler climate doesn’t give breba figs enough time to grow and ripen before cold weather arrives.

The first-crop figs ripen easily in this climate. The fruits form in the fall on new shoots, and overwinter as tiny nubs in leaf axils. Winter frost kills the tiny embryo figs.

To get a crop at all, concentrate on the earlier crop. Prune the fig’s branches in June. That triggers new shoots, which produce microscopic embryo figs in late fall. Then the fig tree needs to be protected from

Rivermen roll into 2013/14 BCHL season With a mix of returning players and rookies, Langley’s B.C. Hockey League team kicks off its season Friday in Chilliwack.

by Troy Landreville

sports@langleyadvance.com

T

he Langley Rivermen have two pairs of rather sizeable skates to fill this B.C. Hockey League season.

The Rivermen will have to find ways to replace the league’s leading scorer from last year, Mario Puskarich, along with his linemate (and Edmonton Oilers fifthround draft pick) Evan Campbell, both of whom have graduated to the NCAA level with Vermont and UMass-Lowell, respectively.

Puskarich led the BCHL in goals (41) and points (89) while finishing second in assists with 48 during the 2012/13 campaign.

He was on the receiving end of many of Campbell’s passes.

Campbell finished the campaign with 46 assists to go along with his 20 goals, to place second in Rivermen scoring and sixth in the league in points. eam-wise, the ’Men squeaked into the postseason with a 24-26-1-5 record, good for fourth in the Mainland Division.

During the opening round of the 2013 playoffs, the eventual BCHL champion and Royal Bank Cup finalist Surrey Eagles dispatched the Rivermen in four games in their best-of-five series.

Returning head coach Bobby Henderson won’t be content with his team simply making the playoffs this season.

“We get a couple of bounces and who knows, really?”

Henderson said, reflecting on last year’s series against Surrey.

“That’s definitely the expectation this year: we’re not satisfied getting in [to the post-season] or going through a couple of rounds. We want to be playing until May.” nd while he knows replacing the 61 goals that Puskarich and Campbell put up last season will be tough, Henderson believes he has the personnel to put a scare into opposing defences.

Langley’s offence will be led by returning forwards including captain Mitch McLain (14 goals, 32 points last year), James Robinson (nine goals, 42 points), Austin Azurdia (18 goals, 35 points), Evan Anderson (11 goals, 31 points), Jakob Reichert (nine goals, 28 points), and Matt Ustaski (11 goals, 27 points), to name a few.

“Obviously we’re giving up a lot of goals from the lineup but with the guys that we have coming back, they’re a year more

T

A

mature, so we might have a bit better team depth overall up front,” Henderson said.

From what he’s seen so far, Henderson has been impressed with the play of 19-year-old Ustaski, a hulking 6’5” winger from Glenview, Ill. “Ustaski’s really taken the next step,” Henderson said. “He’s leading the charge during the exhibition season, offensively, so far. It’s what we’ve expected. It’s kind of taken a little longer to get it going but he looks good right now.” cLain steps into the role of captain. Asked if he feels any added pressure wearing the ‘C’ he said, “No pressure. It’s an honour but everyone on the team has a role and everyone’s got to perform.”

While he’d naturally like to improve upon last year’s stats to help the team, McLain said offence will take care of itself.

“There’s many ways you can win a hockey game,” he said.

“We have a lot of skilled guys who can score, but obviously you want to contribute as much as you can.” n defence, Henderson is excited about the addition of 1994-born defenceman Chris Forney, who hails from Thief River Falls, Minn. and played for Thief River Falls High, scoring five goals and 11 assists in 22 games.

Joining him on the blueline are returning defenceman Viktor Dombrovskiy, Tanner Johnson, Austin Bietenbeck, and Mark Whiteley, along with fellow BCHL freshman and Minnesota hockey product Tony Bretzman.

“Bretzman and Chris Forney are both from Minnesota, and they are pretty highly soughtafter players out of the state,” Henderson said. “They’re both getting a lot of attention from a lot of colleges already.”

M

O

Twenty-year-old Travis Maxwell adds a veteran presence and some sandpaper on the back end.

A native of Fox River Grove, Ill., Maxwell split time last season in the United States Hockey League with the Lincoln Stars and the Austin Bruins of the North American Hockey League.

“We’ve got a lot of depth back there [on defence] this year,” Henderson said. ames Barr provides the last line of defence. Barr was a workhorse in the net last season, making 47 appearances with 21 wins and a 3.48 goals against average.

BCHL rookies on the ’Men’s opening night roster include Forney, Bretzman, Spencer Grigull, Brendon Kearney, Marcus Vela, goaltender Brock Crossthwaite, and local boys Brendan Gulka and Darien Craighead, son of BCHL alumnus and former NHLer John.

“Tough to tell what his production will be like early,” Henderson said, regarding the 16year-old Craighead, “but I think, over the course of time, he’s going to be a force.”

Vela, the Rivermen’s other 1997-born prospect who played midget hockey in Burnaby last season, is already fielding fullride scholarship offers from universities. ttendance-wise, the Rivermen are hoping to grow their fan base.

Averaging 1,137 fans through 29 home games during the 2012/13 campaign sounds impressive, but it still left swaths of blue seats (entire sections, in fact) available in a Langley Events Centre arena bowl that can seat

J

A

more than 4,000 fans at capacity.

The ’Men will be competing for entertainment dollars with the newly relocated Vancouver Stealth, a National Lacrosse League team that will debut at the LEC in the new year.

At the LEC, the NLL has proven to be wildly popular in past exhibition games and in the championship final that the Stealth was involved in this past spring.

The Rivermen will be sharing the LEC’s arena bowl with the Stealth through the second half of their season.

Henderson believes the team will draw from its already dedicated fan base.

“I believe our fan base has been growing pretty much every year,” he said.

“I don’t think the Stealth will be a factor. If anything, it will be good for us.

It will give some exposure to the building. We have a nice little group of die-hard fans that are at every home game and we’re starting to see them on the road.” ivermen fans can expect to see a fast, highly skilled team that will battle hard every night, the head coach added.

“The compete level is huge,” Henderson said. “It’s the first thing that scouts ask about.”

On the subject of competitiveness, McLain feels the Rivermen will be a hard team to play against.

“Night in, night out, we’re

R

going to be tough,” he said.

“We’re offensive but we’re going to take care of the defensive zone, and everyone’s going to compete.”

Ultimately, McLain said “the big picture” is winning a championship.

“That’s definitely on everyone’s mind but you can only play one game at a time, so we’ll take care of one night and see where we are in the future,” he said. oining Henderson behind the bench this season are associate head coaches Jon Calvano and Kurt Astle.

Calvano spent three seasons as head coach and general manager of the rival Coquitlam Express, and led the Express to two BCHL playoff berths while setting a team record for most points in a season.

Astle, who also played at Merrimack and St. Norbert colleges, starred in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, leading the SJHL in scoring during the 2006/07 season. he Rivermen open their season Friday, taking on the Trail Smoke Eaters as part of the BCHL Showcase weekend at the Prospera Centre in Chilliwack. On Sunday afternoon, they meet the Merritt Centennials at Prospera.

McLain said it’s vital that the Rivermen get off to a flying start.

“It’s huge,” he said. “We just need to go in there and take care of business. Get the four points and take it from there.”

FLCC crews dominating Bears blanked by Falcons Local dragon boat teams qualified for the world championships being held in Italy next September.

Crews with the Fort Langley Canoe Club (FLCC) showed the depth of their paddling prowess at three different dragon boat regattas recently.

Three elite FLCC women’s teams – Abreast with Fortitude (breast cancer survivors), Fast and Furious (49-plus aged women, Senior B Division), and Titanium (59-plus, Senior C) – competed in the Canadian Nationals Club Crew Championships at Elk Lake near Victoria Aug. 24-25.

The Abreast with Fortitude paddlers battled an amazing armada of strong breast cancer survivor teams to win silver in their division.

The Titanium crew, comprising of many inexperienced paddlers, surprised their competition to finish a strong third to win bronze in their division.

After two disappointing 500-metre races on Aug. 24, Fast and Furious team members threw some karma into the mix for the Aug. 25 racing by passing out food and drink the previous evening to the homeless in Victoria.

Whether good karma or their hard training, the team placed in a tough evenly matched 200 metre sprint race on the Sunday, missing second place by .04 seconds.

This gave the team a tie in points for fourth place in a very strong field of 10 teams from across Canada in the Senior B Women’s Division.

All teams earned a spot in the ninth Club Crew World Championships to be held in Ravenna, Italy, Sept. 3-7, 2014.

Three members of FLCC who trained and raced with the False Creek Racing Canoe Club also medaled in the Mixed and Open Senior C Division and are Ravenna-bound, as well.

Seniors show well

FLCC’s FORTified mixed and Phoenix women’s dragon boat teams won gold and silver, respectively, at the BC Seniors Games held in Kamloops.

FORTified dominated the semifinals and won a thrilling final by 0.07 seconds.

In five years of Games competition, FORTified has earned three gold medals and Phoenix, a gold and silver in its two years competing at the Games.

Medals in Steveston

Closer to home, FLCC recreational/competitive women’s and mixed teams competed at the 2013 Steveston Challenge regatta last weekend.

Fort Fury (first) and Dragon Alliance (third) medaled in the Women’s A Division championship.

Fraser Dragons had a similarly strong showing with a gold in Women’s B Division championship.

The podium in the Women’s C Division was crowded by Dragon Spirit (first) and Dragonflies (third).

In mixed team divisions, Fort Fusion (fifth in Mixed C Division Championship missing medals by just 0.03 seconds) and SOAR (fourth in Mixed E Division Championship) rounded out the FLCC’s domination of this regatta.

There were few bright spots for the North Langley Bears during their season-opening loss to the Abbotsford Black Falcons.

by Chris Hurley Contributor

In a rematch of last season’s Valley Community Football League junior bantam final, the North Langley Bears opened the season with a 24-0 shutout loss at the hands of the Abbotsford Black Falcons.

The game began as a defensive struggle with neither team able to consistently move the ball until the second quarter.

Facing relentless pressure from a blitzing Falcons defence Bears, North Langley quarterback Jacob Stebbings completed passes to Connor Hurley,

Reid MacTaggart, and Ken McLean.

Stebbings also led the Bears running attack with 42 yards on six carries.

Pablo Wigwigan, Ryan Taylor, and Hurley all carried the ball for a Bears offence that proved able to move the ball early on, but

couldn’t get the ball across the goal line.

Cadeyrn Barthelson, Taylor, and Hurley anchored a stubborn Bears defence with key tackles.

Nick Lacroix picked off an Abbotsford pass in the fourth quarter, snuffing out a late Falcons’ drive.
