A major drug processing facility in Langley was shipping product up north. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A drug gang from Aldergrove was the alleged organization behind almost $400,000 worth of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, and other chemicals found in a Langley home this month. A July 26 police search of the home in the 4600 block of 236th Street turned up the drugs, along with a press, scales, and other equipment. Officers say the drugs were for distribution by the 856 gang of Aldergrove. This was essentially a largescale processing facility, said Sgt. Lindsey Houghton, spokesperson for the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, (CFSEU) a province-wide anti-gang force. Three men, 23, 25, and 47, all from Langley, are now likely to face charges, said Houghton. All are thought to be high ranking 856 members. The arrests and the subsequent search of the house go back to a tip phoned in from a member of the public. Working with the Langley RCMP, the CFSEU began investigating in early July. On July 22, they arrived at the home on 236th. The house, a building approximately 10,000 square feet in size, has apparently been divided up into a number of separate suites inside, said Houghton. Police found one man they were looking for, and when searching him found a sizeable quantity of cocaine and methamphetamine, Houghton said. While officers were on scene, another two men drove up who were also targets of the investiga-

Other, more famous local gangs such as the Red Scorpions, UN Gang, or others control the local drug trade. “They [856] have looked to other communities where there my be gaps in the drug market,” Houghton said. The drugs found in the house were likely intended for distribution to northern B.C. communities and even the Yukon. Last December, Yellowknife RCMP launched Operation Goblin, a series of drug raids against what they said were members of 856 who had set up operations there. Recent raids haven’t stopped the gang from trying to find new members. “They’re still recruiting, both locally and in the communities they’ve expanded to,” said Houghton. The seizure of a sizeable amount of drugs, equipment, and phenacetin will have a significant impact on the gang, Houghton said. “We’re still looking into the activities of the 856 group,” Houghton said.

A Langley teenager had his Lexus impounded after he was stopped while driving at almost 200 km/h in Clinton, B.C., on Friday afternoon. On July 25 at 2:50 p.m. an officer with the Clinton RCMP was doing radar checks on Highway 97 near 83 mile road, a stretch with a 100 km/h speed limit. The officer saw a red vehicle

Benefits Of Bamboo Flooring!

Bamboo is an eco-friendly, highly renewable source of material which grows much faster than traditional hardwoods. Moso Bamboo is the primary species used for the manufacturing of flooring and it can grow up to 4’ per day and 75’ in 45 days. It takes about 3-5 years for Bamboo to reach maturity. Traditional hardwoods take 20-120 years to mature. Bamboo can be harvested without replanting and in a sustainably harvested forest only 20% of the forest is harvested annually allowing for 100% harvest in a 5 year period. Bamboo naturally needs no irrigation, no fertilizers and no pesticides as it has very few pests. Trillium Bamboo Flooring is certified to meet the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council for environmental and social responsibility.

Boat brings fur trading days back to life The newest boat plying the waters of the Bedford Channel is a throwback to fur trading days. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The arrival of the voyageurs is always the culmination of Brigade Days at the Fort Langley National Historic Site. Every August, the event replicates the arrival of furs from the Interior, carried downriver by Hudson’s Bay Company employees. There’s just one problem with the annual arrival – the canoes. “The voyageurs wouldn’t have used canoes,” said Nancy Hildebrand, a Fort site spokesperson. “They would have used York boats.” The York boat doesn’t have the iconic status of the birchbark canoe, but it was actually more popular among HBC traders for its hardy, all-wood construction and ability to carry large amounts of cargo.

For the first time in some than a decade, it doesn’t contain years, a York boat will be anyone who had done much among the flotilla arriving durboat building. ing Brigade Days, thanks to the The group does have people efforts of a group of volunteer with architectural and construcrowers. tion backgrounds, and they did “It’s a long lost form of their reasearch before they starttransportation,” said Paul ed, said Sleightholme.

“We’re pretty certain it’ll be okay, but we’ll know on Saturday,” said Sleightholme. Just getting the boat into and out of the water will be the biggest challenge – it weighs about 2,000 pounds, he said. Members of the Bedford Rowing Society expect to be manning the oars while wearing period costumes on Monday, Aug. 4 as the canoes arrive at the shoreline near Fort Langley. They’re hoping to have time to add a mast and to have the HBC flag flying for their official appearance. The Fort is excited about adding the group’s York boat to the event. It’s part of an extension of the mandate to tell the story of Fort Langley and the fur trade – which was driven by the presence of the river. The Fort still owns a little slice of the shoreline on the far side of the railway tracks. “We wanted to do more river experience programming,” said Hildebrand. The arrival of the Fort’s latest York boat will help that project, she said.

Crash fatal Police are looking into a fatal gravel truck crash July 30.

ON YOUR DOORSTEP TUESDAY, AUGUST 5!

by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The westbound stretch of Highway One north of Aldergrove was closed until midafternoon Wednesday as several agencies dealt with a fatal gravel truck crash. As of late morning the driver had still not been removed from the wreckage of the crash that happened at about 9 a.m. The single vehicle crash involved a dump truck with a trailer and was in the westbound lane at the 264th Street off-ramp. The coroner along with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Unit and emergency responders were on scene. “At this time police suspect mechanical failure was the cause of this crash, which has tragically killed the male driver of the dump truck,” said Cpl. Robert McDonald, with BC RCMP Traffic Services. “It’s extremely fortunate only one vehicle was involved.” An air ambulance was dispatched but was waved off when it was known its assistance was not needed.

At least one person was pepper sprayed in an incident in downtown Langley City Tuesday afternoon. BC Amblance Paramedics, City firefight-

ers, and RCMP were called out to the 20500 block of 56th Avenue. At least one man was attended to by paramedics, who flushed out his eyes. Firefighters then sprayed him with a fire hose. A woman may also have been sprayed, said Cpl. Holly Marks, with the Langley RCMP. The people involved were not cooperating with officers, she said.

A former night club bit the dust on Monday after a long delay before demolition. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley City’s long-empty nightclub on 203rd Street was demolished this week, but what will eventually rise in its place remains uncertain. The nightclub, which has gone by a wide variety of names over the years, including Citrus and China Beach, was due to be demolished more than a year ago. City officials were pleased to see the empty building being reduced to rubble on Monday. “It was getting to be an issue for us with people trespassing,” said Francis Cheung, Langley City’s chief administrative officer. There had been issues with people trying to steal metal from the empty building, he said. After one last run as a nightclub, it was closed more than a year ago. The original plans called for the building to be knocked down in March 2013. That was later moved back to August, but the building

remained in place. By now, construction was to be underway on one of the largest commercial and condo projects in Langley City’s history. In 2012, Langley City approved a 15-storey luxury condo development dubbed Charleston Place for the corner property. Calgary-based P2000 developments planned to build a flat-iron shaped building with condos ranging from 850 to 2,000 square feet, and starting at $380,000. The plan was for between 46 and 52 condo units, with a rooftop garden on the seventh floor. The condo tower units would have been set back from the retail spaces below. Lower floors would have had commercial tenants such as a pharmacy, doctors, medical services, and lawyers. Local realtors and politicians were enthusiastic about the project. Now the project’s website has a single page, which reads “Charleston Place is on hold. Please check back at a later date.” The City says a new person is speaking to them about the project, and so far it has not received information saying that the project will go ahead, or that the owners want

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

Developers of a proposed condo project on the site had originally planned to start demolition in early 2013. to modify their plans. The rezoning to C1 Commercial is still valid and the project could go forward, said Cheung. The Langley Advance could not contact the new representatives.

B.C. Day is a time for celebration. Lots of folks find the best way to celebrate is to get away and enjoy some vacation time. After all, it’s summer, and what better time is there to enjoy some of the great sights and activities that nature provides us throughout the province. The first rule of enjoying any vacation spot is to make sure you get there safely. Drive carefully, and plan your holiday trip so you’re not rushing to get away at the last minute. Speed kills on the highways, especially when it is combined with distractions caused by stress or cellphones. Make sure your vehicle is in good condition: brakes are in good order, tires properly inflated, no mechanical defects to leave your family trip to unfortunate chance. It’s hot out there. Take that into account when you’re setting up for your road trip. Make sure you’re family is equipped with plenty of fluids, pack up the sunscreen to block those intense UV rays, and treat your vehicle with respect – it can become your enemy in the hot sun. The danger of hot, closed cars has been mentioned a lot this year – but that’s because, time and again, some people have failed to get the message. The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet or child. When temperatures reach 27ºC outside, the inside of your car can reach 36ºC, at which it can cause serious sickness in pets and children in less than 30 minutes. And it doesn’t stop there. Temperatures can easily go higher still, shortening the time it takes to create a dangerous living environment. Heat stroke can occur when body temperature exceeds 40ºC. Get out this weekend and enjoy it to the fullest. But if you see a pet in distress, or any child at all locked in a car, don’t hesitate-call 9-1-1. You may save a life. – B.G.

Energy environment

Protestors raise energy cost

Dear Editor, Anti-pipeline protestors cost us big bucks. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) represents the oil and gas industry, Canada’s largest impact on our economy. CAPP has been running thousands of expensive TV, radio, and print commercial ads as they try to counter negative public opinion created by protesters. The anti-pipeline protestors and First Nations receive a lot of their funding from foreign sources, like OPEC, US Rockefellers, US Tides Foundation, etc. Russia, with its disinformation and propaganda campaign, is also funding anti-fracking shale gas environmental protest groups, to curb competition of its state-owned giant Gazprom gas/oil monopoly, mostly to hold dependent the captive European market. There appears a cynical trade-war to prevent Canada’s energy products from getting to world market. The Saudis have no shortage of cash to spend on their anti-competition campaigns, too, as they don’t like Canadian oil cutting into their American market share. Similarly, it’s in the Americans’ interest to have Canadian energy dependent on them as our only discount customer. We should be careful of what we wish for, as Canada’s export products will get to market one way or another, either by pipeline or by rail. If the Kinder Morgan pipeline twinning doesn’t happen, we could have here in Langley and the Fraser Valley two-kilometre-long coal trains plus crude-oil trains, all day, all night. Who do you think ultimately pays for all those expensive public relations battle counter-ads? Next time you fuel up at the high-priced pumps, guestimate your dollar contribution to the anti-progress protest movement. Roland Seguin, Langley

Enbridge’s ongoing pipeline construction altogether. Citizens hoping for a “beautiful B.C.” to pass on to new generations understand that war is being waged against our earth, water, and sky under the guise of economic realities. Consider the ongoing devastation due to an Enbridge oil leak more than two years ago in Kalamazoo, Michigan. That spill poisoned not only the river water, but was so dangerous that people were issued public health warnings to stay away from the water, and to restrict breathing fumes in the air. Years earlier, Enbridge knew that that particular spot on the pipeline was susceptible to cracking, yet did nothing about it. The U.S. National Safety Board said Enbridge had a “culture of defiance.” The lines being laid right now are the same type of pipeline that ruptured in Kalamazoo. In American pipeline safety expert Richard Kuprewicz’s opinion, the pipeline poses a “high risk of rupture,” adding to his comment with, “That means a very high probability, much more than a 50/50 chance; probably within five years or sooner.” Added to this probability is the still-higher risk of moving “dilbit” or tar-sands oil (bitumen). Do not allow others to take verbal potshots at the very people who visibly are doing their best to support keeping our environment in the best possible shape for those who live in and love B.C. These people (most notably B.C. native people) are standing up for the environment. Eli Bryan Nelson, Langley Letters on this page have been edited for space.

long with hot days, blue summer skies, and the B.C. Day long weekend, the annual Brigade Days festival arrives at Fort Langley. The annual recreation of the arrival of the fur traders to the Fort is a mixture of history and celebration. The festival lasts from Aug. 1-4, and involves re-enactors from all over British Columbia and Washington State. For the four days around the long weekend, they’ll be roughing it in canvas tents, cooking over open fires, and demonstrating their pioneerera skills for visitors to the Fort Langley National Historic Site. The re-enactors are attempting to live like the early traders, gold prospectors, and First Nations people did in the mid19th century. Fort Langley started as a fur trading fort for the Hudson’s Bay Company, expanded into selling salmon and farming the Milner area, and then became a key stopping point for the miners heading up into the Fraser Canyon during the first B.C. gold rush in the late 1850s. The re-enactors will be showing off skills of that

Visitors can bring chairs and picnic blankets, and can bring their own dinner or pick up some food at the Fort’s Full Barrel Café. The Caribbean flavour of the celebration is in tribute to the longtime HBC trader and B.C.’s first governor, James Douglas, who was born in Guyana of Barbadian and Scottish descent. Douglas is considered the “father of B.C.,” and he read the proclamation creating the region as a Crown colony in 1858 inside the walls of Fort Langley.

Funds raised will support the new water station housed in an “up-cycled” shipping container with a living rooftop and grey water system. “The funds we raise are going to support kids and community groups on our farm,” Winkelman noted. “This is super important because where our food comes from and how it is produced directly affects our health and the health of the environment we live in.” With the water station, Fraser Common Farm will be branching even further into educational and community events from children’s camps to more dinners.

“Once I had kids, I started bringing them to the Clova and my daughter said, as I was explaining this [the closure] to her, ‘I’m sad the Clova’s closing, Mommy’. She’s eight.” Nielson noted that even at ages eight and 11, her children understood the value of the unique cinema. Burghardt ran the theatre for 17 years, but struggled for the past six to secure a long-term lease agreement with the owners. Attempts to raise money for a digital projector upgrade were also unsuccessful. “I did just bring them [my kids to

the Clova] recently,” Nielsen said. “The movie was sold out, and Craig was giving out free popcorn certificates to everyone who couldn’t get in. I don’t remember a multiplex ever doing that. It was just so classy.” Nielsen also recalls a long ago time before the seats were replaced. “I remember it was standard issue to bring your own pillow,” she said. Reminiscing aside, and despite her sadness to see the Clova close, Nielsen is excited to be part of the ABRA Cadabra show for the closing tribute to the theatre this weekend. “I feel kind of honoured that I

get to do it,” she noted. “It’s an all ages show, so it’s nice that everyone gets to enjoy it. There’s no question people will be up dancing in the aisles. It’s a really dynamic show.” The weekend begins with the Rocky Horror Picture Show at 9:30 p.m. Friday, ABRA Cadabra at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, and activities Sunday including a scavenger hunt and auction. The last movie to be shown at the Clova will follow the auction on Sunday and will be free for everyone who wants to attend. In full-circle fashion, it will be Dead Reckoning, 67 years after it opened the Clova.

Fest moves by Roxanne Hooper

rhooper@langleyadvance.com

Since 2007, the BC Renaissance Festival (Renfest) has lived in Langley, including incarnations in Aldergrove, at Thunderbird Show Park, and most recently at Pacific Stables. Organizers say new municipal rules have forced them to look for new digs (on public, not private land) in Maple Ridge. With the change in location, so to comes a change in date, explained co-producer Martin Hunger. It’s at the Albion Fairgrounds Aug. 15 to 17. “[With] changes in laws not permitting functions, events, or even weddings on agriculturally zoned lands, we could no longer function in Langley,” Hunger explained. If the festival in Maple Ridge goes well, they may have to consider hosting two events a year.

Shooting competition

It was high noon at Aldergrove Athletic Park

Winners of the first sanctioned World Fast Draw Association Championship were Nicole Franks (ladies) and Colorado’s Brian Colwell (men’s).

Local celebrities testing their learned fast draw skills in a version of the long-running TV show Beat The Clock during Aldergrove Fair Days July 19. They were using new JJTimers which are calibrated in thousandths of a second in order to record the fast-drawing competitors’ reaction and draw times. And beat the clock they did, at this year’s Celebrity Shootout, which was held in conjunction with the first sanctioned World Fast Draw Open Championships. The Fast Draw events began in Aldergrove in 2008.

The first place finishers at the World Fast Draw Open Championships were Brian Colwell in the Men’s Division and Nicole Franks in the Ladies’ Division.

“With most of the celebrities dressed in old west style clothing, it was interesting for spectators and world fast draw association members alike to witness the celebrities’ camaraderie to each other and the devotion they gave to their six-gun skills, as they wound themselves down the Trigger Trail to try to become the fastest gun in the West,” WFDA Area 20 vice chairman Den Robinson said. “West B.C. that is.” The top five men’s and ladies Celebrity Shootout contestants were:

Ladies’ Division 1st Cornelia Naylor, reporter, Burnaby Now 2nd Cathy Gibbs, aide to Mary Polak, Minister of Environment 3rd Bev Dornan, deputy mayor, Langley Township 4th Brenda Giesbrecht, citizens service specialist, Abbotsford 5th Angie Quaale, business

3rd Anita Burnham, Colorado 4th Judy Lawton, South Dakota 5th Juliana Bateman, Oregon 6th Carla Howell, Oregon 7th Paula Murphy, Langley

Celebrity shooters got together for a group photo at Aldergrove Athletic Park during the World Fast Draw Open Championships. representative Men’s Division 1st Kenny Hess, western singer 2nd Ted Schaffer, Langley City mayor 3rd Kenny Jones, radio personality, 96.9 JACK FM 4th Mark Warawa, Langley MP 5th Rudy Storteboom, business representative

Fastest shot trophies went to Cornelia Naylor, ladies division, with a .562, and Kenny Hess, men’s division, with a .430. After the Celebrity Shoot finished, members of the World Fast Draw Association treated the crowd to their Six-gun Salute of 100 shots to the Tractorfest Theme of this year’s fair. “Thanks here to the Canadian military’s Ian Newby for his

‘rocketing’ ending to the Salute,” Robinson said. But a highlight was the rocketing-fast draws of Langley’s own Nicole Franks, who came from behind to take the lead after the last two-target event on Aug. 13 – just as she did the year previous. The top 14 men and top seven ladies won trophies and cash prizes at this World Fast Draw Association Sanctioned event, which was hosted by the Thunderbird Fast Draw Club. B.C. winners are members of the Langley Rod and Gun Club’s Thunderbirds. Ladies’ winners 1st Nicole Franks, Aldergrove 2nd Diana Rosen, Minnesota

Men’s Winners 1st Brian Colwell, Colorado 2nd John LeBlanc, Abbotsford 3rd Bob Nielson, Colorado 4th Shawn Murphy, Langley 5th Jon Rivera, California 6th Dan Qualls, California 7th Connor Darby, Calgary 8th Joe Colwell, Colorado 9th Jon Wilson, California 10th Den Robinson, B.C. 11th Mike “Yukon” Avetikian, Calgary 12th Frank Lawton, South Dakota 13th Alex Watson, Coquitlam 14th Glenn Renney, Delta

• Fastest Shot Ladies by Nicole Franks, with a 310 • Fastest Shot Men’s was a tie by Jon Rivera of California and Howard Darby of Alberta. Each fired a .256. “There were more shooters this year than ever, and spectators were treated to even more ‘gun fun’,” Robinson said, adding that “the World Fast Draw Open Championships have been picked up by Aldergrove Fair Days for next year. Thanks to everyone for your support.” More information can be found at the Thunderbird Fast Draw Club website: www. thunderbirdfastdraw.com or phone by calling Robinson at 604-540-6394.

Sculptor Margo Harrison is one of 20 artists who will be on hand at Demos in the Garden this weekend in Fort Langley.

Live art creation in the Fort Demos in the Garden will give visitors the opportunity to watch 20 professional artists at work. by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com

Painters, sculpters, potters and other kinds of artists will converge in a garden this weekend in Fort Langley. It’s all part of Demos in the Garden, an artists’ showcase put on by the Birthplace of B.C. Gallery. Gallery owner Brenda Alberts noted it’s a very exciting weekend for those interested in art of all kinds. “Most of them are painters,” Alberts said of the artists who will be on hand. “They all do something a little bit differ-

ent.” Visitors can watch the artists create from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday and Monday – the B.C. Day holiday. Twenty award-winning artists will be conducting live art demonstrations in the gardens at the gallery at 9054 Glover Rd. While the painters’ work isn’t an “interactive” demonstration, Daphne Scaman, who works the potter’s wheel does conduct some “hands on” demos. “They can watch the painters,” said Alberts of the guests. “But they can get involved with the potter. It’s hands on in some aspects.” Watching can, in itself be quite appealing as Alberts pointed out. “Some people come on the Sunday and come back on the Monday to see how [the painting or other project has] progressed,” she said.

“Our fruit tree are surrounded by weeds and the rest of our backyard is full of weeds. Being seniors, it is hard to keep up with weeding and expensive to hire someone on a regular basis. How can I get rid of the weeds?”

have weeds, but they will be as short as cut grass and at least be tidier than they are now. Basically you will end up with a meadow, not a traditional lawn. Weed-killers (both organic and inorganic) do kill the weeds, but many deep-rooted ones will return fast. Also the more efficient herbicides may leave bare soil that grass seed is reluctant, or unable to sprout in. If the soil remains benign, weeds can re-seed too. There are other solutions that take more time and money, but you end up with a more conventional lawn.

Dear Anne,

“A smoke plant came up from a little bit of soil in a small rock garden. It is getting very big. Will you please tell me what to do with it?”

Florence, Vancouver

It might be best for you to decide your whole backyard should be lawn. Also that any flowers should be in containers rather than garden beds. As one gets older, containers are much easier to care for than things at ground level. The most inexpensive solution and the least work is to mow the weeds down with a lawnmower as if they were grass. Many of them are probably grass anyway. If you have flower beds in your yard, you will need to remove any raised edges or fill in any trench type edges with soil. Also any raised beds will need to be leveled and precious flowers moved to containers. But at least this all this is a one-time job. The area should then be flat enough for mowing. You will still

death. Or you could cover the weeds with cardboard, eight to 10 sheets of newspaper (wetted down), black plastic or bare soil. This does kill weeds, doesn’t depend on the weather and leaves soil ready to sprout seeds. Then in fall (when rains start), you could buy topsoil, spread it over the bare soil and scatter grass seed. Or hire someone to do this. But you need to note that many grass seed mixes contain clover seed, too, since clover is an excellent natural fertilizer for grass. Clover isn’t a good choice for people with bee allergies.

Mary, Burnaby

If your backyard is sunny, you could dig out the perennial weeds and spread clear plastic over the weeds for six to eight of our hot summer weeks. They will roast to

Late winter is the best time to cut it back. Choose three or four strong stems and cut them back to two or three feet (1.75-3 metre) aiming your cut to strong buds. If you want to keep it to the same size, cut the branches back to the same size each winter. If you want it bigger, cut them a little longer than three feet. Any stems that are ugly, or too big – just cut them right out. Smoke bush is very vigorous and impossible to kill, even by heavy pruning.

South Van rolls to B.C. title in Walnut Grove

A provincial baseball champion in the 11/12 Majors Division was decided late Monday afternoon at Walnut Grove Park’s George Zarrelli Majors Diamond.

North Langley All-Stars infielder Alex Crone was about to throw to first base as White Rock baserunner Josh Richards slid into second base during Friday’s B.C. Little League tournament game at Walnut Grove Park’s George Zarrelli Diamond. White Rock, which went on to play in the B.C. final, defeated North Langley 12-1.

For the South Vancouver allstars, the road to the Canadian championship tournament ran through Walnut Grove. South Vancouver blanked White Rock 8-0 late Monday afternoon, in the final of the 2014 Little League BC Provincial Championship at Walnut Grove Park’s George Zarrelli Majors Diamond. South Vancouver will now represent B.C. at the Canadian championship in Valleyfield, Quebec. Whichever team wins the national title will wear Canada’s colours at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA. The B.C. finalists emerged from their semifinal games on Sunday, with South Vancouver blanking Beacon Hill 12-0, and White Rock defeating Little Mountain 10-4. Foul mid-week weather put a bit of a damper on the tourna-

ment, hosted by North Langley Little League. The July 19-27 competition brought together six district 11/12 majors champions from across the province. The North Langley all-stars received an automatic berth into the provin-

cials as the host team. Mother Nature was a factor midway through the week, with all three of the Wednesday, July 23 games postponed due to rain. Teams managed to stay somewhat dry Thursday, July 24, when the tournament resumed,

with the host North Langley AllStars notching their first win of the week by doubling Forest Hills 4-2. Then, last Friday, North Langley fell 12-1 to White Rock. North Langley wrapped up its tournament with a 14-0 loss to

Little Mountain on Saturday. While the hosts had a tough time facing extremely tough competition, the event as whole was a huge success, said tournament chair Mike Fredo. “We had nothing but very positive comments from all of the teams, coaches and parents who came out to support their teams,” Fredo said. “Our field was in tip-top shape and it looked fantastic, and every coach mentioned that it was one of the nicest fields they had ever played on.” The baseball was very high calibre, with “real good teams who handled themselves tremendously,” Fredo said. “It was fun to watch and see how the boys and girls really enjoyed playing baseball and tried their best at all times, yet also had a lot of fun during and after the games,” he said. “Good sportsmanship was evident at every game.” Rain, especially when it was as heavy as it was last week, is pretty rare for mid- to late July but that’s what tournament organizers had to deal with midway through the tourney. And while the July 23 rain-outs were unfortunate, Fredo commended the field crew for getting the George Zarrelli diamond and outfield ready for play the very next day. continued on page A20…

Selects score gold in Western Challenge Cup Valley’s U19 squad toppled the mighty Delta Giants by a 5-0 score in Sunday’s gold medal final at the George Preston Recreation Centre. The Valley Selects are the best in the West – the Western Challenge Cup, that is. The U19 squad went undefeated while topping its division as the Valley Ball Hockey Association hosted the 15th annual Western Challenge Cup July 17-20. The Langleys welcomed 38 teams from the Lower Mainland and Alberta who competed in five age groups for the title of Western Canadian champion. The U19 Selects consisted of 20 players, all members of the VBHA. This tournament was the last to be played by some of the boys as this was their final year playing in minor ball hockey. “This group of young men made a commitment to each other and to this tournament,” Selects head coach Wayne Van Geel said. “They were not going to settle for anything less than gold in their hometown of Langley.” Van Geel along with assistant coaches Rob Kahle, Ian Wightman, and Jesse Churchwell led the team through the four-day tournament.

of the U20 Team Canada team. The Giants lived up to their name and proved to be the toughest competition of the tournament, downing the Selects by a 3-0 score. Despite the loss, the Selects earned the second place spot to vie for the gold medal on Sunday afternoon against the first place finishing Giants. The Selects avenged their loss the day before by blanking the Giants 5-0, with goaltender Wade Brenner earning the shutout. “The boys came out on fire. The show of support from the community of Langley was overwhelming,” Van Geel said. “The boys played in a crowd packed arena.” Van Geel said he was very proud of all of his players, who made his minor ball hockey swan song a memorable one. “This was my final year of coaching in VBHA and to end it with a gold medal win was everything I had hoped for, not only for myself, but for all the boys,” Van Geel added. The U19 Valley Selects are Mike Bencze, Brian Stertz, Alex Ferguson, Chris Molloy, Bakshi Gill, Kevan Broekhuysen, Trevor Mainman, Cole Wynn, Bryce Pengelly, Cayden Helders, Colton Kahle, Scott McQuade, Garrett Van Geel, Brandon Grasby, Nick Hall, JR Cracknell, Bryce Pisiak, Brad Wightman, Ryan Fairley and Wade Brenner.

Volunteers ‘fabulous’ …continued from page A19

“And many thanks to the volunteers who came out every day to help in the concession, or to keep score, to keep track of the pitch count, or to help set up and take down all the tents and tables and chairs that were needed on a daily basis,” Fredo added. “The volunteer help was fabulous and we cannot thank them enough.” Fredo believes North Langley Little League put on a great tournament for the teams, and that the tournament committee members “did a fabulous job of planning for this event.” It took about a year of planning for this tournament, and Fredo believes it paid off. “Looking back on it on Monday night after the last game, we all said we had a great time and would do it again, but maybe not for a couple of years,” Fredo added. ••• The Canadian Little League championship in Valleyfield, Que. starts today July 31) and runs until next Wednesday, Aug. 6.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.
