Monday afternoon’s arrival of the two canoes and for the first time in some years, a York boat, on the southern shores of the Fraser River at Marina Park was the signature re-enactment of the Fort Langley National Historic Site’s (FLNHS) B.C. Day weekend-long Brigade Days celebration. Each year, Brigade Days marks the arrival of brigades from B.C. Interior posts between 1848 and 1858. During that period, hundreds of people arrived with their year’s return of furs. The brigades came down in canoes full of furs and other goods that had been traded with First Nations at the Interior forts, and would bring other supplies back from Fort Langley at the end of the summer.

A group from the Fort Langley National Historic Site made their way west along Mavis Avenue en route to Marina Park, to welcome the boats as they arrived on the southern shores of the Fraser River.
Heat depleting the oxygen level in Brydon Park Nature Lagoon is being blamed for killing 5001,000 fish from Aug. 1-4. Langley City continues to investigate, having samples tested to ensure no chemicals were dumped in the lagoon beside the Nicomekl Flood Plain at about 199th Street and 53rd Avenue. “We do not stock any fish there,” said City administrator Francis Cheung. The dead fish found were catfish, shiners and pumpkinseeds, all having been dumped by people or the offspring of fish dumped into the lagoon. Shiners is a common name
for silver-sided fish. None of the The Langley Field Naturalists found ones are native to local helped turn the former sewage waterbodies. lagoon into a nature park which The pumpkinseed’s natural has a perimeter trail and benches. range in North America is from It’s a site for birds, dragonflies, New Brunswick down the east and other animals and insects but coast to South Carolina.

The City worked with the Field Naturalists to create a natural lagoon setting, including aerators to keep the water from becoming stagnant. A pump specialist was called in this week to see why one of the two aerators is faulty. “One of the pumps has been operating intermittently,” Cheung explained. The lagoon is about one metre deep at its shallow end and about two metres at the other. There are no plans to alter that. The City had the pond studied a few years back and the cost to dredge it could be in the area of $1.5 million. Cheung said the cost was considered prohibitive. He added that there are environmental implications with heavy metals and any other contaminants flushed in decades past and sitting within the sediment at the bottom. “Because it’s an old sewage lagoon, we may stir up more of an issue,” he said.

Member of Parliament Mark Warawa took a float down the Fraser River last week. And though the sun was shining and the temperature was warm, the purpose of the trip was all business. The Langley MP was along for the ride on a Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) boat Thursday out testing the river’s fish stock. Warawa was joined on his trip by neighbouring Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows-Mission MP Randy Kamp. The purpose of the testing excursion was for fisheries to gather abundance, timing, and biological information on Fraser River chinook and chum salmon. Information such as number of salmon species caught, as well as the sex, length, and weight of each fish is all collected. In addition, DNA and scale samples are garnered from each fish. “It’s been very educational,” Warawa said of the trip. “It’s my first time on a test fishery like this

very optimistic about the sockeye returns too,” said Kamp, who is also the parliamentary secretary to the minister of fisheries and oceans. “Salmon is an iconic species here in B.C.,” said Kamp. “It’s really important we make sure it’s available for future generations.”

Director had previous child sex conviction A theatre director working in White Rock was convicted of sexually assaulting a teen. by Kristi Alexandra Glacier Media
The White Rock Players’ Club artistic director is still on the theatre group’s board, despite reports that he had handed in his resignation. Ryan Mooney, 32, was directing and starring in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged, when the Surrey Now broke the story that the theatre group was looking for volunteers – including young people – despite some board members’ knowledge that its artistic director is on the list of registered sex offenders. The production, which was set to kick off Aug. 6 and run until Aug. 21 at the Coast Capital Playhouse, was cancelled following a board meeting Aug. 4. Two other board members,

According to Baron, Mooney has not directly worked with any minors during his involvement with the WRPC. “He has voluntarily and with the consensus of the board avoided any contact with minors,” Baron said. Mooney directed many theatrical productions with the WRPC but excludes himself from the annual Christmas Pantomime, which customarily has minors.

Economy can’t trump safety
Competition drives innovation, it hammers down prices for consumers, and it generates economic growth. We hear this mantra over and over again from business groups and government. But until something like the Mount Polley tailings pond disaster, we can easily forget the other side of competition – it can drive industries to speed ahead without concern for the consequences. We already know the collapse of the retaining wall has caused a local state of emergency, has deprived nearby townsfolk of their clean drinking water, and has dumped uncounted tons of contaminated sand into one of British Columbia’s pristine lakes. What caused Monday’s breach in the retaining wall? It remains unknown as of this writing. All we can say for sure is that it wasn’t an obvious cause – no heavy rains, no major quakes, no accidental collisions by bulldozers. Which probably means that we’ll have to look at the way those retaining walls around every tailings pond in B.C. are constructed. And there are numerous ponds and catch basins where arsenic, lead, mercury, copper, and other metals and harmful chemicals used in the mining process are settling out. That will be an expensive proposition, but it has to be done, and it can’t be delayed by excuses, or budgetary concerns, or fears that it will cause some kind of “unreasonable” hurdle for the mining industry. It’s not unreasonable for British Columbians to expect that they’ll be able to turn on their taps and get clean, fresh, potable water. It’s not unreasonable to expect that we’ll have rivers and lakes that can support an ecosystem of fish, birds, mammals and forests. There are places in politics for compromise, but not for pollution that endangers our present and our future. – M.C..

Heavy rail traffic is having a big impact on family
Dear Editor, The rarely used SRY/ BNSF light-use track is currently subject to 65 days and nights of traffic noise pollution for residents along the ‘Sperling’ branch located east/south of 232nd street, crossing 72nd Ave onto Abbotsford toward the U.S. at Sumas. The newly routed, two
kilometre SRY/BNSF trains (empty coal cars) are currently passing 30 yards from our house – three and four times a day – sometimes two trains a night. Blasting horns are followed by six to nine minutes of rumbling. This temporary diversion has been arranged without letter, notification, contact,
warning, consultation or compensation for residents. The new diversion is now resulting in nightly disturbances. We are subject to trains blasting horns and passing at various times; 10:30 p.m., 12 midnight, 2 a.m., 3 a.m., 4 a.m., 5 a.m. or 6 a.m. On July 15 we have endured three trains; 4 a.m., 6 a.m. and 8 a.m.
Transportation
Railroad responds to concerns
Dear Editor, Dear John Williams; Referencing your email of July 15th, I regret the disruption to you and your family by the additional trains on SRY’s Fraser Valley Subdivision between Livingstone and the Sumas border crossing. However, please note that this subdivision is an active railway operating for over 100 years and subject to traffic fluctuations as business and the economy dictates. SRY is re-routing empty BNSF unit trains over our line because of capacity constraints on their line while track repairs are in progress. Additionally, there is no place to store the empty trains so they must be moved as soon as they are unloaded at Roberts Bank and as a result, can be on our track at any time of day or night. Re-routing these trains over the SRY is the most direct alternative as other routes are complex or heavily congested. I can assure you that use of the whistle is an absolute requirement for public safety and unfortunately, disturbance to nearby residence is the consequence. Please be aware there are dozens of accidents at rail crossings in Canada each year, many resulting in injuries or worse. The proper use of
the horn is not at discretion of the engineer but a requirement of the Canadian Railway Operating Rules. We completed an extensive risk assessment prior to bringing this traffic on our line and implemented a number of safety initiatives to ensure safe operations. Please note that these are empty trains so the stresses on the tracks are significantly less than loaded trains and the safety risk is correspondingly less. Although the traffic on our line has been light in recent years, we previously ran 50 to 60-car trains regularly on these tracks as they are built to the required safety standards. We continue to inspect the track regularly and to maintain it to safe standards. Once again I regret the disruption and inconvenience of these trains but please don’t hesitate to contact me further for any additional details. J. Singh Biln, director Community Relations & Chief Mechanical Officer, Southern Railway of British Columbia Limited Letters on this page have been edited for space.

We have been woken six of the seven nights and exhausted to the point of illness. The noise and shaking of our house foundations is beyond reasonable. Please note the Langley Township Noise bylaws re: Distuburbing the Peace; ‘The Township of Langley’s Noise Control Bylaw No. 2573 states in part that industrial areas cannot exceed 65 decibels between
7 a.m. and 10 p.m., or 60 decibels between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.…’ Are these trains a Letters safety hazard? Local to the interurban rail lines were laid in the 1910s for three-car trolley trains and Editor light use. Why are train alternative routes via Mission and south to Sumas not being utilised? The SRY/BNSF business arrangement has acted without regard for residents hav-
ing to endure the disturbance of peace at the expense of our night-time rest. SRY/BNSF are private businesses subject to local environmental and safety bylaws – trucking companies would not be afforded such licence acting in similar fashion. The train re-routing decision has been made without letter, notification, contact, warning, consultation or compensation. No public discussion has been arranged. John Williams, Langley
Discourse
Diverse opinions must be allowed Dear Editor, I, like Diane Topdosychuck, disagree wholeheartedly with every letter to your paper that Roland Seguin writes.Honestly, they make me roll my eyes. I feel the same way about Dean Clark’s letters also as well as some other regular contributors. I think I can safely assume there are folks out there who feel the same way about letters I have written. Since I would not want my local paper to censor me,
that also of course means I would not want my paper to censor anyone’s letters, no matter how much I may disagree with the individual. Short of someone being racist, sexist, homophobic or hateful in some other way to a specific person or group, all points of view should be able to be expressed. That is what truly separates us from regimes of suppression, and truly makes us free. Jamie Clark, Fort Langley

Our three-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter Inara couldn’t wait for Pirate Pak Day to sail into the local White Spot to devour one of her favourite feasts... Her Pirate Pak order consisted of a multi-grain grilled cheese sandwich, veggies with dip, a glass of orange juice, and her first-ever sundae – all her choices. We explained to her that if we waited until next week, specifically Aug. 13, to go to White Spot, then $2 from the cost of her meal would help send sick kids in B.C. to camp. While she halted long enough to tell us how much she loved her first camping experience this summer with Mommy and Daddy, she could not be dissuaded in her quest to devour a Pirate Pak. Given her age and her love of pirates (shared by one of her nanas), we understood and instantly caved. Even though we couldn’t convince Inara to wait for Pirate Pak Day to arrive, I’m hoping to persuade some readers to dock at White Spot this coming Wednesday. Let me elaborate a little more. Zajac Ranch for Children is a charity that gives kids and young adults – who are coping with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities – a memorable week at camp. They get a chance to horseback ride, kayak, and just revel in the joys and camaraderie of camping along the shores of Stave Lake (which I have to tell you is a gorgeous body of water not well known to many, that is strategically located in

My granddaughter, Inara Nelson-Mandragon, was beaming as she took home leftovers in her Pirate Pak. my old stomping grounds of Stave Falls in Mission). Anyway, as usual, I digress. So back on topic, Shelley Lemmen and her team of 78 staff at the Willowbrook White Spot are hoping to raise more than $4,000 to help send kids to this camp, and are offering a tasty way to do that. Last year, this White Spot store served about 2,000, and while Lemmen wanted to set a realistic goal of 2,100 this year, her service manager Sam Arefi has a personal desire to top 2,500. “It’s a one time event that we do for them, so I figure go big, or go home,” Arefi said, noting that he and all the staff closed the restaurant for a day last month and visited this camp. It was a team-building exercise, but it also opened their eyes to the volunteerdriven facility and all it offers to sick kids. Wouldn’t it be cool if we could help this long-standing Langley restaurant achieve its goal, not just for the motivated staff, but – moreover – for the kids.

igger and better was the underlying theme of the “Whole Hog” long table dinner held at the Fraser Common Farm in Aldergrove on Sunday. The second year of the chef-prepared dinner took on a new flavour with the addition of “CanTina” the shipping container turned outdoor kitchen. One of the farm’s residents, Mark Cormier, explained that everyone wanted to see CanTina functional in time for the feast, originally inspired by chef Chris Whittaker of Vancouver’s Forage restaurant. Funds raised from the dinner will help to pay for CanTina’s arrival and set up. “We did this Forage event last year,” Cormier said. “This year we worked really hard and sold out. The idea was to get CanTina up and running in time for the event.” The task was extensive with about a month of work to turn the shipping container into the outdoor kitchen facility which will allow for a greater number of events on the farm from kid’s campouts to dinners like the Whole Hog long table dinner. “We have a blacksmith on site,” Cormier noted of the lion’s share of work for the container’s conversion. The blacksmith, Dustin Pritchard, managed the installation and refurbishing. “It is a little bit like any
or the sixth year, the Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS) is putting on its Langley Eats Local Festival to show residents and visitors the food options available in the community. New this year, LEPS is joining forces with the Langley Farmer’s Market. This means a date, location, and time change. While previously set for Aug. 10, to align with the farmers market, the festival is now on Wednesday, Aug. 13 in the Kwantlen Polytechnic University Langley Advance files (KPU) courtyard on Langley Eats Local is family-friendly the Langley Bypass, and a great way to see the variety just east of Glover of food available locally. Road and runs from 2 to 6:30 p.m. The agriculture program coordinator with LEPS, Stephanie Captein, noted working with the farmers market made sense. “They’ve got over 40 vendors and we’re bringing along some special new faces for the event,” she said. Kids can milk wooden cows, search for eggs and dig for veggies in the LEPS tents, plus they will enjoy facepainting and can win prizes through a match-theveggie game. Live music will be provided by the West Coast Fiddlers and one other local act to keep the atmosphere active. “Seasonal 56 will be cooking up their wonderful dinner time goodies,” she noted and added there will be other food vendors as well. A new vendor to Langley Eats Local will be Campbell’s Gold Honey Farm and Meadery which will be sampling its mead. “It will be really exciting to have them there to taste test their mead,” Captein said. VanCity will be on hand with an interractive activity and will be giving out cloth shopping bags. Captein also pointed out that local chicken girl, Emma, will be bringing a chicken out in support of her group Chickens for Langley. “She’s gone to council a couple of times,” Captein said of the youngster’s efforts to make backyard chicken rearing common in the community. A canning demo runs 3 to 5 p.m.

On Cooking by Chef Dez
I love cooking with fresh local ingredients and there is no better time of year than the summer to do this. Many restaurants will switch up their menus to celebrate local harvests as well. One of my favourite new menu selections (when we do go out) is the Prawn Brie Flatbread at my local White Spot
Restaurant here in British Columbia. I have contacted them and they were honoured to share the recipe with me from their Celebrate BC summer menu, and today I pass this on to you. Wherever you live, I encourage you to visit neighborhood restaurants that embrace the local produce/ingredients in your area. Prawn Little Qualicum Brie Flatbread Recipe courtesy of White Spot Executive Chef, Danny Markowicz. It has been modified for you to be able to enjoy at home. Makes 4 flatbreads. 1/2 cup olive oil 1 tsp garlic, finely chopped 1 tsp chili flakes 6 slices bacon cut into 1/4 inch pieces 8 pieces baby zucchini, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise 1/2 tsp white balsamic vinegar

1/2 tsp olive oil Pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper 16 prawns, cut in half lengthwise 1/2 tsp lemon juice 1/2 tsp olive oil Pinch of freshly cracked black pepper 4 Flatbreads (Naan bread works great, or your favorite pizza crust) 16 slices brie, thinly sliced (we use Little Qualicum Cheeseworks from Parksville) 1/2 cup mozzarella, shredded 6 heirloom tomatoes, cut in half Heat 1/2 cup light olive oil over medium heat and add 1 tsp chopped garlic and the chili flakes. When garlic is just starting to turn golden, remove from the heat and allow to cool. Set the chili oil aside. Add the bacon pieces to a pan and slowly cook over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t clump together. When the bacon is crispy around the edges, remove from heat, cool and drain excess fat. Set these bacon bits aside.
Dress the zucchini with the balsamic, 1/2 tsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Barbecue over high heat, placing them flat side down. This will give nice charred marks. Set this aside as well. Season the prawns with a touch of oil, lemon juice and fresh cracked black pepper. Set aside. Lay the flatbread on a countertop. Add 1 tbsp. of reserved chili oil to each one, spreading the oil right to the edges. Add the sliced brie and mozzarella cheese, followed by the reserved bacon bits. Arrange the grilled zucchini over top. Add the seasoned/raw prawns, but don’t overlap them so they cook evenly. Cut some small tomatoes in half and place them attractively over the top. If you like, a little salt and pepper on the tomatoes makes them sing. Bake at 400°F for six to eight minutes until the flatbread base is crisp, the prawns are fully cooked and the cheese is melted.

Summer out of doors
Thursday, August 7, 2014
Watering tips for dry weather When hot temperatures without rain persist for three weeks or more, many of us need to take another look at our gardening habits. During the first week or two, gardeners who planned ahead to a dry hot summer, can feel secure that they did most everything to prepare for times like this. They added moistureretaining compost or manure into the soil, they mulched with grass clippings (until the lawn stopped growing from the heat) and invested in soaker hoses – all valuable steps and relatively inexpensive. They bought far-reaching water wands. But by the third week of drought, it’s tempting to start dreaming about gardens where people had the forethought to install underground watering lines. Or they set up a system where winter rain gets diverted from the roof into a large, elevated storage tank. Less expensive and more do-able is to install a rain collection system: this diverts water from one or more downspouts into various storage containers. This can be a barrel,
Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amarrison@shaw.ca

a tank or even a monstrous and tough plastic bag. There’s lots of information on all these online. The old-fashioned way which conserved small quantities of water was to run the downspout directly into a large wooden or metal water butt. In my long-ago home, ours was never covered and when I grew tall enough to peek in the top, it was fun to watch the mosquito larvae in summer. Uncovered water never stays clean – but for mosquitoes, we now have Aquabac (a form of Bt) which kills mosquito larvae
in two hours. It is said to be safe for fish, people, pets, birds and plants. The traditional, curved wooden water butts are so pretty, but unfortunately if you take a lot of water out of them the wood begins to shrink and becomes difficult to refill. You can have the same problem with halfbarrel container ponds if they’re not topped up frequently. When the need for water is desperate, there’s no problem using grey water from baths, showers, laundry, or water used to wash vegetables and fruit. If you’re willing to let grey water accumulate, you can pump it to irrigate

flowers and the roots of vegetables. But grey water mustn’t be used for any part of a vegetable that you’ll eat: soap/detergent sticks. With watering, morning is the best time, then the plant can use water for growth during the day and withstand mid-day heat better. Watering in hot sun isn’t good because leaves with water droplets on them can scorch. Soaker hoses are especially useful under mulch. But water pressure should be checked. If it’s too low, the water won’t reach the end of the line. Growing containers set against sunny walls are in double jeopardy, triple if they’re also standing on concrete. Walls and hard surfaces reflect heat. In long hot spells, containers need frequent watering. If a container dries right out and it’s too big (or heavy) to stand in water, try making many holes in the soil. Water will soak down into the holes instead of scooting down the fissure between the dry soil and the pot’s side. A similar technique gets water down into the roots of drying-out shrubs and trees.

news@langleyadvance.com
Phillip Wiebe Ph.D., like many people, was brought up Christian, but rejected the faith as a university student. Gradually, his mind began to change as he met people who claimed to have had encounters with Jesus.
In 1988, the long-time Trinity Western University (TWU) professor of philosophy (and expert on Christian religious experiences as well as the Shroud of Turin) had his own encounter. According to Wiebe, one morning as he prayed in his office, he felt overwhelmed by a deep feeling of joy, which lasted for several hours. “I kept asking the Lord, ‘What is this? Why are you so close?’” Wiebe said. “Then a voice came to me:
‘Why don’t you research people who feel they have encountered Me?’” Now, in his second book, Visions and Appearances of Jesus, Wiebe looks at the accounts of people interacting with Jesus throughout time. Research into this book ranged from New Testament times to the modern day and involved appearances, visions, dreams, and trances. For insight into modern experiences, he inter-
viewed 30 people who had an encounter with Jesus. Understanding how God speaks to people was at the core of Wiebe’s work. “There is a pervasive human hunger to know the truth about the unseen world,” said Wiebe. “People can ignore it for 30, 40, 50 years, but if it’s been awakened at all in childhood, it will come back at some time.” “Religious experience can penetrate the larger world,” Wiebe said. “That shows us that there really

is another world, another order of reality. It’s a very curious and strange order of reality, to which God, including the resurrected Christ, belongs. These encounters are predominantly one-on-one and highly personal.” It was his first book, Visions of Jesus, that positioned Wiebe as an expert on Christian religious experiences. He has also studied the Shroud of Turin, believed by many to be the burial cloth of Christ.

Fourth quarter surge helps Rams eclipse Sun
Langley racked up 17 points during the final stanza to defeat the Kelowna visitors. by Troy Landreville
tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
Langley Rams kicker Steve Thomas gave the visiting Okanagan Sun the boot on a warm and muggy Saturday night at McLeod Stadium. Thomas kicked four field goals and accounted for 15 of the junior Rams’ point totals as the hosts battled to a 33-20 victory.
Trailing 18-16 going into the fourth quarter, the Rams racked up 17 points during the final stanza while holding the Sun to a measly two points to secure the win. Two of the Rams’ three touchdowns on the day came in the fourth quarter, with Langley quarterback Dylan Tucker connecting with receiver Tore Corrado for a 61-yard major, and Tucker tucking the ball under his arm and running it over the goalline from three yards out. Rams head coach Jeff Alamolhoda was impressed with his players’ stick-to-itiveness,
facing a perennial B.C. Football Conference powerhouse. “They continued to fight and persevered when faced with adversity,” Alamolhoda said. “It was awesome. They really fought as a team, and that was the reason why they won. They bonded together and did it as a collective effort.” The win improved the Rams record to 2-0 very early in the season. Wins over a pair of BCFC heavyweights right out of the
gate (Langley opened the season on July 26 by out-scoring the defending B.C. champion Vancouver Island Raiders 44-36) will give the Rams confidence going into the bye week, but they know they still have work to do. “This shows them what they’re capable of doing when they execute,” Alamolhoda said. Leading the way was Thomas, who was perfect when it came to booting field goals, connecting on attempts
from 44, 33, 22, and 14 yards away. In what was an otherwise defensive tug-of-war, the Rams other touchdown came from receiver Daniel English, who hooked up with Tucker for a 31-yard play during the second quarter. Tucker, the Rams’ first-year quarterback, had a decent day, completing 16 of his 24 pass attempts for 252 yards and two touchdowns. He was also picked off twice. He also ran the ball three times for 20 yards. continued on page A20…

The Sun’s top weapon was running back Dillon Fortune, who had 13 carries for 80 yards, while scoring Okanagan’s lone touchdown of the day on a five-yard scamper in the third quarter. Sun kicker Hunter Verhulst was just as effective as his Rams’ counterpart, making good on all three of his field goal attempts from 41, 34, and 13 yards away.

jumping ahead 13-11 before the half. In the second half, the Rams fell behind 18-16 after three quarters of play, but Langley’s aforementioned late surge proved to be the difference. Alamolhoda said the Rams made some defensive adjustments going into the game, but the Sun threw a couple of wrinkles into their offensive schemes, which forced Langley to make some changes on the fly. “Kudos to them,” Alamolhoda said. “They showed us some different [offensive looks] than what we expected and got some points early, but kudos to our defensive coordinator for making some defensive

Our defence continued to fight, never got down, and didn’t point fingers at each other.” The Sun, who defeated the Valley Huskers 41-7 on July 26 to open their season, saw their record fall to 1-1 with the loss. The Rams get a bye next week, and return to game action in week four of the BCFC season. Next Saturday, Aug. 16, the Langley juniors travel to Westhills Stadium in Kamloops to play the Broncos. Alamolhoda said, “For us, facing the two top teams in BCFC right out of the gate… they were physical games, high intensive games, and we’ll take the bye week to get our bumps and bruises healed up so we’ll be ready to go.” GRIDIRON NOTES: For his fine game against the Sun, Thomas was among those named by the BCFC as “BC Lions Players of the Week” for Week 2 of the regular season. Along with his four field goals, he also connected on all three converts. Thomas’s punting had pinpoint placement, pinning the Sun deep in their own end, or up against sidelines He booted five punts, for a net of 125 yards.

Foundation in teen’s memory makes mark The AK94 Foundation is helping more Langley kids get into sports. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
Austin Kingsborough loved sports and the memorial foundation created for the drowned Langley teen is helping other kids who can’t afford sports. The AK94 Foundation recently presented KidSport Langley with a $500 donation. “This will help at least five kids,” said KidSport Langley chair Gary Abbott. KidSport Langley provides grants to children up to age 18 to help cover costs that prevent them from participating. The kids choose the sport, “as long as it’s a recognized sport in B.C.,” Abbott explained The group has helped about 400 kids so far, including more than 100 this year. The group’s goal is 150 kids. KidsSport BC was started by Sport BC in 1993. Kidsport Langley was created in the shadow of the 2010 Olympics. The website KidsportLangley.ca includes details on donations, volunteering, registration and eligibility. AK94 is the Kingsborough family’s way to honour Austin, his love of sports, sense of humour, and compassion. He and a friend, Brendan Wilson, drowned in Nicola Lake near Merritt in April 2013.
