history

Looking back through the files of the Langley Advance.

Seventy Years Ago May 24, 1945

Two weeks of hot pursuit ended in the capture of a mule that had broken loose and jumped a fence.

Three days after “The Mad Mule of Murrayville” was coralled by an irate farmer, it jumped the fence again, this time at Fry’s Corner. Bill Macklin of Murrayville reported seeing it one night, staring at the moon, kicking up its heels, and whinnying – but when he crept up on it, the mule was suddenly “gone like magic.”

Sixty Years Ago May 26, 1955

Langley City’s police force was three men, while the Township’s force was cut to five members from six.

Thirty Years Ago May 22, 1985

School trustee Robert Kearl’s motion banning the subject of abortion from Langley classrooms was defeated.

His fellow trustees noted that abortion was not in the curriculum, and trustee Marlene Grinnell said she had not heard a single complaint in her five years on the school board.

THURSDAY, May 28, 2015 | Page A3 FARMING

Crops ready to go as spring is early Strawberries are out, and other crops are not far behind.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The strawberries are already ripe for the picking in Langley, and a host of other crops will follow sooner than usual.

June is traditionally when strawberries ripen and the commercial and U-pick harvest begins in earnest.

But the warm weather ever since January means the crop is about three weeks early, said Alf Krause, of Langley’s Krause Berry Farm.

The farm started picking last week. Nearby Driediger Farms announced a June 5 opening, and Vista D’Oro Farms and Winery have also held a strawberry-based event.

If those openings don’t seem too early compared to last year, that’s because the 2014 season was two weeks earlier than average, said Krause.

The blessing for local growers is that after some cold snaps in November and January, the weather has been mild.

With growth starting so early, Krause said, frost and cold temperatures in April could have damaged the strawberries. But everything survived.

The early harvests are expected to continue throughout the growing season and affect a wide variety of produce.

“We’re pretty much finished with rhubarb, and this is usu-

She expects the farm to be busy continuously from now until the fall.

“Our vineyard is doing things earlier than it every has,” she said.

ations, which rely on making fruit wines from imported product in the winter. With their own crops ripening, the farm can move on to local produce much sooner.

Meanwhile, the early season does mean some staffing headaches.

The current board of the Langley Senior Resources Society will stay in place after a strong vote of support from the membership Tuesday afternoon.

The board had called an extraordinary general meeting and put forward a resolution to remove the entire

board. The move came in the wake of months of turmoil with a number of members upset by staff and volunteer changes, and the stripping of one member of access to the centre.

After a two-and-ahalf hour meeting, members voted 147 to keep the board,

“Strawberries, of all the berries, is the most labour intensive,” said Krause.

“We do have a lot of high school kids,” he said.

And those kids are still in class for several weeks.

While there are enough harvesters, the students are already signed up to man the retail side and U-pick operations.

Blueberries are also expected to be early, and Peter Boetzkes of Boetzkes Farm said he shouldn’t have any trouble selling his organic product.

Blueberry production exploded in B.C. several years ago, the result of increased demand as blueberries became a minor health craze for their presumed anti-oxidant properties.

The price hit $1.60 a pound in 2006, but had dropped to 70 cents a pound by 2009.

Provincial government stats showed that blueberry production kept increasing in B.C., from 30,884 tonnes in 2008 to more than 50,000 tonnes in 2013.

Boetzkes said there is still a bit of a glut, but he’s never had a problem selling all of his organic crop.

“There seems to be more of a market for them,” he said.

Selling organic, using U-pick, or setting up wineries, farmgate tours, or retailing pies, jams, and smoothies have become key parts of many local berry farmers’ business models.

Berries are an unpredictable crop, subject to weather and fluctuating international markets, and the amount harvested in B.C. annually has fluctuated wildly over the years.

48 to remove them.

Hundreds of members were packed into the main hall and the lounge area nearby.

“This needed to happen, because this board could not move any further without the confidence of the members,” said board chair Shauna Sailer.

Transit vote wrapping up Try Before You Buy MATTHEW CLAXTON

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley City is punching below its weight, while Langley Township is above average when it comes to voting in the Metro Vancouver Transit Plebiscite.

The mail-in vote, on whether or not to add 0.5 per cent to the PST in Metro Vancouver to pay for a host of rail, bus, and road upgrades, has been running since March.

The latest numbers show that just 39 per cent of Langley City residents have returned a package.

That means 6,831 ballots have been returned, out of 17,518 eligible voters.

Langley Township has returned 34,615 ballots for 44.5 per cent of the 77,845 registered voters in that community. That marks the Township as having one of the highest rates of ballot return. That doesn’t surprise Langley’s Nathan Pachal, a longtime transit advocate and author of the South Fraser Blog.

Heather Colpitts/Langley Advance

Voting packages were sent in March to registered voters. ‘No’ signs have appeared in Langley, and advocates on both sides have been lobbying.

“The Township of Langley is the heartland of the No vote,” Pachal said.

He noted that Vancouver, which could lean more towards the Yes side, is also seeing a high turnout, at 42.9 per cent.

Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, which is spearheading the No campaign, also wasn’t surprised at the turnout levels in either Langley Township or City.

“I think Langley City has seen through the illusions of the mayor,” Bateman said, of City Mayor Ted Schaffer.

While Langley City would be the terminus of a new light rail line under the proposed

transit upgrades, it would take a dozen years or more before it is done, Bateman said.

The overall numbers are higher than what the Taxpayers Federation was expecting, seven points higher than they anticipated. He said the media coverage and the fact that the outcome of the vote directly affects people seems to be having an impact.

The participation rate is almost double that of local municipal elections held last November, Bateman noted.

The big surprise for Pachal is the lowest turnout in Surrey.

Just 37.4 per cent of Surrey voters have returned a ballot, the lowest turnout except

some unincorporated areas in the region.

Yet up to 45 per cent of new money in the plan would head to the Surrey area, said Pachal.

Neither the Yes or No sides seem to have targeted Surrey, he said, despite it being the second most populous city in the Lower Mainland, whereas he’s seen a lot of Yes campaigning in Vancouver and No campaigning in Langley.

Across Metro Vancouver, 41.9 per cent of ballots have been returned, a total of 654,691 from the 1.5 million eligible voters.

The highest turnout per capita is Belcara, which saw more than 52 per cent of its 509 voters return a ballot.

The deadline to return packages to be counted is May 29. It’s too late to use mail.

They must be taken to one of the Plebiscite Service Offices around the Lower Mainland, including at Willowbrook Shopping Centre.

Ebola gives Harper scientific boost

W

hen it comes to anti-science, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government runs at the front of

the pack.

One of the things he and his reasondenying crew cannot be accused of, however, is making an error in the race to create an Ebola treatment.

We Canadians love to find ways to be superior to our American neighbours.

But sometimes we’re not really all that superior after all.

The Ebola treatment is an example of that misperception.

In fact, a much-touted Ebola treatment developed by Canadians and subsequently given away to an American company by the Harper government wasn’t actually developed by Canadians.

At least, not just by Canadians.

This isn’t about the vaccine developed in Canada – one of two global efforts that have shown promise in the race to stop or at least slow a horrific disease whose death count passed the 10,000 mark in mid-March. (And if it is currently on the wane, who knows when it will strike again?)

But the story of ZMapp, a vaunted antidote to Ebola, is basically the same as that of the vaccine that raised the ires of those who didn’t really need yet another excuse to find fault with the HarpoCons.

Odd Thoughts

Township Join up the City (severed from the larger Langley for 60 years now) with the Township, and there will be savings, say amalgamation advocates – one council, not two, fewer staffers, less paperwork.

The main problem locally has been Langley City’s reluctance to consider rejoining its older sibling, and sharing its annual casino revenues.

Now the Fraser Institute has studied a number of Ontario towns that merged in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Over a decade of growth, the study found that the savings were… nonexistent.

Cities like Essex and Kawartha Lakes were merged from two, three, or four towns. They saw increased tax rates, more employees hired, and increasing costs over the last dozen years.

Which isn’t to say that they were worse off than their neighbours that stayed unamalgamated. Those communities had the same problems. But amalgamation wasn’t a magic wand that could be waved to save tax dollars.

Considering that the biggest amalgamation in Canadian history, the creation of modern-day Toronto, also led to increased costs, you would think that would be the last we’d hear about merging the Langleys, or the North Vancouvers, or Maple Ridge/ Pitt Meadows or Surrey/White Rock.

But it won’t be.

The study does point out that the Ontario amalgamations were done in a hurry, with little oversight from the provincial government. It’s always possible that a better system could result in some savings. It’s just that all the evidence we have from the last 20 years is against it.

What this means is that amalgamation advocates need some evidence of their own – they need to show exactly how, down to the penny, a joining of cities would save us some bucks. Otherwise, their cause will never move forward.

Letters to the editor

Fire victim gives thanks Dear sir/maam, I was a victim in the fire at 220 Street and 49 Avenue.

I was woken up between 4 and 5 a.m. by the fire alarm.

In the past this complex had a lot of false alarms and people complained that the fire alarm in each unit was much too loud and we were all very angry about it. The fire alarm was changed and ironically a lot of residents said they were not woken by the alarm.

I live in one of the units on the east side of the complex that was destroyed by the fire.

It was a very scary and confusing and disoriented experience as we ran for our lives in our pajamas.

Very quickly we were met by the RCMP emergency response team, and they organized us and provided us with a good place to go, and coffee and donuts.

We were kept up to date on the situation then we were pro-

vided with hotel room and meal vouchers.

I am writing to say that all of the paid and volunteer emergency response workers did an excellent job taking care of us and providing all of our needs.

Kudos to them and I will be donating to the emergency response fund and I hope everyone else does, too.

Perhaps you will rely on them one day.

Edward Feringa, Murrayville

Make organ donation ‘norm’ in B.C. Dear Editor, I sent the following letter to Fort LangleyAldergrove MLA Rich Coleman: As a constituent, I am writing to ask you to write a letter to our provincial Minister of Health requesting the government commit to

action that increases organ donor registration and kidney transplantation in British Columbia by 50 per cent by 2020.

There is no cure for kidney disease. Dialysis keeps you alive, but only a kidney transplant lets you to live.

Unfortunately British

Bill C-51 deplorable Dear editor: My heart was saddened and my fears heightened, when I realized that with his majority government, Stephen Harper had whipped his cowed and broken MPs into passing Bill C-51.

Sadly, the Liberal support of this bill, offering the pitiable excuse that if they should be elected, they would “change” the legislation, was even more unsettling.

In a recent discussion, a friend remarked, “Oh, Canadians don’t need to worry, because our Charter of Rights and Freedoms supersedes C-51.”

Regrettably, that is not true.

This legislation allows CSIS to obtain a warrant, granted at a secret meeting, permitting them to break the law and contravene the Charter Rights of Canadians.

Even more alarming, these expanded powers of the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) come with no increase in oversight or review measures.

This heinous piece of legislation will, in fact, eliminate our privacy to a large degree.

Canada’s top security experts warn us that Bill C-51 will undermine our democratic rights.

Although this deplorable legislation has been passed, I am an optimist, and still remain hopeful that all Canadians will come together and work to abolish it, and help reinstate our privacy rights and our democratic freedom.

Libby Thornton, Aldergrove

Columbia lags behind the rest of Canada in terms of deceased kidney transplantation and organ donor registration. More than 95 per cent of British Columbians say they support organ donation when asked, and yet less than 19 per cent have actually registered online as organ donors.

We need to change this story.

As a living donor (I gave my kidney to another Langley resident on May 15, 2009) I can attest to the positive change it made in his life, and to mine, too.

At that time there were only 80 patients on the wait list for a kidney, now there are over 400 in B.C. waiting – most on dialysis.

Keeping people on dialysis costs taxpayers more money than providing a kidney transplant.

Research suggests a $200,000 saving to our medical system over five years – money that could be used to help other patients in need of other medical care.

Times that by the 400 currently on the waitlist – that’s $80,000,000 – that’s quite an initial saving.

Imagine what our health system could use those funds for?

We know what needs to be done.

The BC & Yukon Branch of the Kidney Foundation consulted with 2,500 British Columbians and hosted a Kidney Transplant Summit on May 2 in Vancouver with experts in kidney transplant and organ donation.

There are very practical steps that the government of B.C. can take that will make organ donation the “norm” in our province and will save the lives of people in your constituency and across B.C., and the kidney foundation can help.

Would you please support patients and families who need a kidney transplant by writing the Minister of Health on our behalf?

I hope you and your family have registered as donors, too.

Fifty per cent of British Columbians believe they have registered, but only 19 per cent actually have – are you sure you have?

My family has.

Let’s make it easier for everyone to register.

Facebook Feedback A young woman from Langley was voted PM in a mock election as students learned about federal politics in Ottawa. Readers weigh in: Vicky O’Connor – My grade 6, or 5 or whatever, class took a field trip to parliament in Toronto maaaaaany years ago. I was so horrified of what I saw and heard going on there, I lost interest in politics forever. Sounded like little tired kids, who should have been in bed hours ago, whining and complaining. No politics for me, please.

roads testing the newer versions, Ward said he has gotten a lot of thumbs up and smiles from his audience of neighbours, pedestrians and drivers alike.

Ward said that a little more than two years after he first envisioned the unusual idea, his KRANX Powerstik is ready to roll.

“I’ve gone through a bunch of iterations and it’s now dialed in and ready for production,” he said.

He launched his project on the crowdfunding website kickstarter.com (: https:// www.kickstarter.com/ projects/kranx-powerstik/the-kranx-powerstik-a-new-way-tocruise?ref=discovery).

His goal is to raise $15,000, and with 10 backers already he’s 10 per cent towards his goal.

“I am excited to share with others from around the world what only I have been relishing for over two years!”

Credit union A former Langley Township councillor is the newest addiion to the board of directors for Aldergrove Credit Union (ACU).

Bev Dornan joined incumbents Ken Forcier and Tim Williams in being elected by acclamation to the ACU during the recent annual general meeting held – no, not in Aldergrove, but the nearby Abbotsford neighbourhood of Bradner.

Dornan takes over the seat from director Brian Thomasson, who retired from his post after 38 years, and was publicly recognized for his decades of service and valuable contributions to the board and community.

“Bev brings many years of leadership roles serving Langley and Aldergrove communities, including her work on numerous boards and committees, as well as years serving as a Langley Township councillor,” said ACU CEO Gus Hartl.

The credit union saw a positive year with an increase of more than $10 million in assets, and payback to members of more than $1 million through their dividend and patronage rebate program.

Supportive start provides new or gently used bras to women who don’t have access to the undergarments that so many are able to take for granted.

“It’s just not an option for a lot of women,” noted Perkins. “We put on a bra that fits and clean panties.”

Such a basic need is often not met for those who are homeless, living in shelters, or on the streets.

Supportive Start goes further than simply providing a bra to women who need one, though.

“We don’t just send a box of bras and say ‘have at ‘er’,” Perkins said. “We actually set up fit clinics so that these women receive the same experience that a customer would have in our store.

Sonya Perkins, owner of downtown Langley’s Forever Yours Lingerie, is hosting A Night at the Carnival on Friday May 29 at Coast Hotel and Convention Centre in the ballroom and conference hall area.

More than just an event with fancy posters and an eye-catching name, this is Perkins’ way of bringing a little bit of the big-city here to Langley.

The ballroom and conference hall will be transformed into a giant indoor, adult (19-plus) carnival with circus acts, carnival games, a burlesque show and a lingerie fashion show based on the carnival theme.

“In Langley we don’t have a lot of downtown city-type events so we’re bringing a fun city thing here,” said Perkins. “It’s a really fun night out, it’s not just a sit down and watch a fashion show event.”

Is there still time to get it in the ground? protection is easier with copper mesh or tape than in the open garden. Also in pots, it’s easier to move zucchinis into a warm sunny spot. If you keep picking, production goes on till frost.

It’s time now to plant snap beans like the popular ‘Blue Lake’ type or ‘Gold Rush’ or both green and yellow types for colourful salads. The purple-pod ones like ‘Royal Burgundy’ are pretty when growing but the pods turn green when cooked.

If you haven’t started potatoes yet, now is the time if you still hope to get a crop before blight hits. If it does, it’s best to remove the infested top growth immediately. Then, if you need to leave the potatoes in the ground a little longer, you can.

ANNE MARRISON

As May turns into June, we have the opportunity to start plants that may hesitate in lukewarm temperatures but are so quick to surge ahead on hot days that we don’t doubt crops will result.

Zucchinis are like this. In the open garden, seed emerges fastest on hills of soil.

The bush zucchinis grow nicely there as well as in large containers where slug

Minus the infected tops, many tubers won’t be blighty.

The other pesky potato problem is green tubers. These should not be eaten because green skin indicates presence of a toxin. This can be prevented if you mulch potato plants with two to three inches (five to seven centimetres) of soil when the plants are half-grown. It’s tempting to substitute grass mulch but this dries and shrinks, leaving gaps which expose the shallow tubers.

It’s too late to start pepper seed, but transplants are a perfect choice for containers that can be placed out in the sunshine. Hot peppers, especially the Jalapeno type, are resilient to adversity and enormously productive. But all pep-

cluster at the top.

Intermediates produce suckers between the main stem and the leaf nodes. It’s important to remove all suckers except the first two or three. These are the only ones with a reasonable chance of producing ripe tomatoes. Otherwise suckers produce their own suckers and intermediates become huge, tangled bushes.

Cucumbers can be sown or transplanted around mid-June.

They need sun, warmth, lime, compost or all-purpose organic fertilizer, and may need protection if nights get cold. Lots of water helps prevent

Many leafy vegetables have problems in hot weather, but New Zealand spinach loves heat, and can grow well in sun or partial shade. Slugs and other pests don’t bother it. It’s a lowgrower, tasty and sweet. The stems spread into leafy mats and need frequent picking because if it gets a chance to make seed, this plant gives up. Germination rates tend to be low but once it starts, growth is rapid.

Tomato transplants are another superb choice for containers against a sunny south or west wall – and especially under a roof overhang where tomato blight can be kept a bay. In a pot, tomatoes need rich soil and lots of water.

In buying transplants it’s important to check whether they’re intermediate or determinate kinds.

Determinate ones have one stem and produce tomatoes tidily on the flower

Thunder look to return to past glory Langley signed three key vets and its top pick earlier this week.

This is unfamiliar territory for a Thunder team that made back-to-back Mann Cup national championship series appearances in 2011 and 2012, falling to the Brampton Excelsiors and Peterborough Lakers, respectively.

Prior to last year, the Thunder also finished on top of the WLA standings in both 2013 and ’12.

Leading the way up front are last season’s leading scorer, lefty Alex Turner (who tallied a career-high 70 points including 34 goals in 18 games in 2014) and hulking 6’4” right-hander Athan Iannucci, who led the Thunder in scoring during the 2011, ’12 and ’13 seasons.

Speaking of size, 6’7” netminder Brodie MacDonald, who was named the WLA’s top

To say that the Langley Thunder have some room for improvement is an understatement.

Langley’s Western Lacrosse Association team is looking to bounce back from a sub-par 2014 campaign.

For the first time since 2010, the Thunder were on the outside looking in when it came to the WLA playoffs, after finishing fifth in the seven-team league with a 7-11 record.

goalie in 2013 and the league’s Rookie of the Year in ’11, is back with the team.

In 60 regular season games MacDonald has a 27-18-4 record including an 8.28 career goals against average. He is also 12-8 in the playoffs.

Earlier this week, the Thunder signed MacDonald, Turner, Iannucci, and their first round pick in this year’s Western Lacrosse Association Draft, Anthony Malcom.

Turner returns for his seventh season with the Thunder. He sits second in franchise history with 323 points. He was also part of the Thunder’s run to the 2011 and ’12 Mann Cup finals.

Langley also signed Anthony Malcom, the third overall pick in the 2015 WLA Entry Draft.

Malcom was a powerhouse in the BC Junior ‘A’ Lacrosse League with the New Westminster Salmonbellies, scoring 177 points in 48 BCJALL regular season games. Malcom helped guide the ’Bellies to a 2013 Minto Cup appearance.

Brett Mydske will be a key piece on the back end. The 6’4” defender was among seven WLA players named to Team Canada’s training roster for the 2015 FIL World Lacrosse Championship this fall.

The Thunder opened their season last night (Wednesday, May 27) when they hosted the New Westminster Salmonbellies at the Langley Events Centre.

The game got underway after the Langley Advance went to press.

It was a the perfect combination of offence and defence as the Langley Xtreme 99 topped off five back-to-back games with a gold medal during a girls softball tournament held last weekend at London Park in Richmond.

After a perfect Sunday in which they went undefeated, the Xtreme found themselves in the gold medal game against the Kelowna Heat who had beaten them 7-4 on Saturday.

But Sunday proved to be Xtreme’s day.

The teams traded runs for the first two innings and were tied 5-5 at the top of the third. At that point, the Xtreme rallied with a nine-run inning to put the game out of Kelowna’s reach.

Backed by strong pitching from four different hurlers, Xtreme held Kelowna to seven runs while adding two more to their total for a final score of 16-7.

Langley Xtreme 99 are Remy Brayshaw, Taylor Quechuck, Jennifer Delaney, Shaelene Locke, Terae Walters, Andria Coulbourn, Britney Ingham, Jessie Wright, Sarah Mior, Emily Morrison, Jordyn Scott, Sydney Redden, and Teigan Ritchie.

SPORTS LangleyAdvance BASEBALL

Black Sox sweep weekend

Langley racked up 16 runs in two games versus Victoria.

The Langley Black Sox shone last weekend against a Lake Hill Little League team from Victoria.

Langley Little League’s 11/12 Major A squad swept the two-game series at City Park.

In the opener, the Black Sox rallied from being runs down in the final inning to win 7-6, with a key tworun double by Tyler Wright completing the comeback.

Other Langley players with timely hits were Trent Davies, Carson Foster, Andrew Fassbender, Carson Grimm, Zac Laird, Kevin Hollowink, and Dane Gisbrect.

In the second game, the Black Sox were able to keep the momentum going and scored four runs in the first inning on their way to a very impressive 9-2 win.

A spectacular no-out diving catch by Carson Grimm in right field in the bottom of the third inning kept Langley’s momentum going.

Key hits in game two came from Conner Shirley, Trent Davies, Ben Natingor, Tyler Wright, Andrew Fassbender, Nathaniel Northup, Kevin Hollowink, and Zac Laird.

Langley received outstanding pitching in both games from Trent Davies, Nathaniel Northup, and Tyler Wright in the opening game, and Conner Shirley, Zac Laird, and Kevin Hollowink during the second contest.

This weekend, the Black Sox hope to continue their winning ways when they host Little Mountain for a couple of games.

LangleyAdvance OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING

Masse bronzed at nats Former baseball player and sprint kayaker Adam Masse is excelling M in Olympic weightlifting.

N

ot that long ago, Adam Masse traded in his baseball glove and bat for barbells and weights.

Today, the Langley athlete is doing some heavy lifting at the national level.

The 23-year-old Olympic weightlifter – who once played baseball for the Langley Giants and the Whalley Chiefs – captured the bronze medal in the 77 kg division in his firstever appearance at the Canadian senior championships.

The event, held May 15 to 17 at the University of TorontoMississauga, included a top 10 overall Senior Men Sinclair Rating from more than 120 senior male lifters, of which 30 were in the 77 kg division.

During the meet, Masse again set two new B.C. records in snatch (125 kg) and combined totals (280 kg), and now lays claim to all three provincial 77 kg division marks.

He is not affiliated with any clubs and outside of a trip to Beijing, China to see how the best in the world in his weight class do it, Masse has not had any professional or formal training. He has been self taught in the sport over the past three years.

The competition opened with the snatch lifts, and an immediate game of chess ensued amongst the contenders, with various starting weight changes that Masse had not yet really experienced that much of during his previous two events.

It appeared to be a case of who was going to go first.

Unfortunately for him, Masse missed his first two attempts which set him back a bit for his own strategy, but at the end of the snatch session he found himself in fourth place and only 2 kg out of second and third spots, and 3 kg from first place.

The cat and mouse game continued with the clean and jerk session.

This time, though,

Masse nailed his first attempted lift and after a few misses by other lifters, found himself sitting in third with a two way tie for first.

With the bronze locked up, the only hope to improve would be to force a three-way tie for first place.

Masse stepped onto the platform as the last lifter and put in a valiant effort to reach the mark needed, but could not complete a successful lift to force the tie.

That would have given Masse the gold by way of tiebreaker rules, by being the lightest lifter in the weight class but it was not to be this time.

Although pleased with the bronze Masse was disappointed in

At the Canadian senior Olympic weightlifting championships at the University of TorontoMississauga, 23-yearold Langley lifter Adam Masse earned bronze. not securing a Team Canada spot for the 2015 Pan-Am Games, as he is in pursuit of representing Canada at the 2020 Olympics.

Masse will go back to training for an open competition later this year and then the 2015 B.C. provincials in December as he attempts to qualify for the 2016 Canadian

championships being held in Richmond. asse is a multi-faceted athlete.

On top of baseball, he also did a two year stint in Olympic sprint kayaking as a youth, and was part of a B.C. and Western Canadian championship team through the Fort Langley Canoe Club.

It was after his second year of college and summer ball that Masse made the decision to switch to Olympic weightlifting.

Thus far, Masse has won two gold medals and two Best Overall Male awards (Sea Fest and B.C. provincials), has three B.C. records to his credit, holds the No. 1 overall B.C. senior male ranking, a top-five Canadian 77 kg ranking, and a Canadian championship bronze. > More at www.langleyadvance.com, search “Masse”
