Fingerprints led to a guilty plea and two-year jail sentence for a thief responsible for crimes in Langley and around the Lower Mainland.

On Aug. 30 last year, a home in the 3200 block of 270th Street was the target of a break-in, said Cpl. Holly Marks of the Langley RCMP. Fingerprints at the scene connected the suspect to four more crime scenes around the Lower Mainland and led to guilty pleas on five charges.

Langley City firefighters dealt with the aftermath of a car that smashed into a health food store on Monday afternoon.

Health store slammed by car A car has smashed into a Langley City business leaving several people injured.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

At least four people were injured, two seriously, when a car slammed into the lunch counter of a Langley health food store Monday afternoon.

Two bistro employees were taken to Royal

Columbian Hospital after the Volkswagen hatchback went through the front windows at about 1:30 p.m. One of the front windows of the Nature’s Fare Markets was smashed clean through, with the car several feet inside the building.

The driver of the Volkswagen is a man in his 80s, and is believed to have mistaken the gas pedal for the brake. Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor.

Langley RCMP traffic section officers were investigating the crash.

Two young men were rounded up by Langley RCMP after an attempted mugging at paintball gunpoint on Wednesday.

Just after noon on May 8, police were called about a gun sighted in the 20400 block of 53rd Avenue, said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks.

A man said three young men had approached him and asked for cigarettes. When he refused, one man showed him the butt of a gun and threatened him.

After a short argument, the trio ran away.

An officer found two men matching the descriptions, an 18-year-old from Surrey and a 20-year-old from Langley.

Neither had a gun of any kind.

A third man was not found, but officers did find a long-barrelled paintball gun tossed in a grassy area. It’s believed it was the weapon shown during the attempted cigarette theft, said Marks.

The two suspects have been released for now, and the gun has been seized. The investigation is continuing, Marks said.

Crooks sawing parts off cars for scrap metal

Langley and Surrey are being targeted by catalytic converter thieves.

by Tom Zytaruk Glacier Media

Thieves are stealing catalytic converters at an alarming rate in Surrey and Langley, coveting the precious metals they contain.

Mike Madari, owner of Budget Brake and Muffler in Fleetwood, has encountered eight cases in the past couple of weeks.

He said people come to his shop, wondering why their car suddenly sounds like a tractor after they started it up in the

morning. Sometime overnight, a thief got underneath their car and cut out the converter, for the platinum and palladium it contains.

“At the rate they’re cutting them out of there, it’s not a bad living,” Madari noted. Catalytic converters reduce toxic engine emissions. On the metal salvage yard, these things are worth up to $150. But for the victim, the repair bill is at least twice that.

“I feel really bad for these customers for shelling out a $300 deductible all the time,” Madari said.

“It became an epidemic lately.

It’s not right, and nothing is being done about it.”

He’s seen about 40 cases since

last year. Some thieves used battery-powered saws.

But what really got Madari riled up was when a couple with small children recently brought in their Honda Pilot for repair and he discovered their catalytic converter had been removed with a blow torch. This, he said, could have potentially blown up their vehicle in their driveway.

“This really ticked me off.”

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said police are aware that more than 100 have been stolen from Surrey and Langley since the beginning of the year. “That’d be close to half a million in cost,” he noted.

Paquet said about 90 of them were ripped out at car dealership

parking lots, and the remaining were taken from private driveways.

“It’s pretty much all over,” he said, but a corridor along the Surrey-Langley border is presently the hot spot.

Paquet said police are actively investigating these thefts. “We’re following up on some leads and some information we’ve received.”

Investigators have done checks from Surrey to Chilliwack for the missing parts, without finding the converters in local scrapyards.

“They might be shipped somewhere or stacked somewhere,” he suspects.

A log truck lost its load on the Golden Ears Bridge Friday.

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Motorists found traffic snarled heading between Maple Ridge and Langley on Friday morning after a log truck spilled its load.

The truck, heading north from Langley, was barely onto the bridge deck when the spill took place. The logs rolled towards

the centre of the bridge, and slammed into the concrete lane dividers, pushing them into the southbound lanes.

No one was injured by the spill, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. All but one northbound lane were blocked, and at least one southbound lane was also closed.

It took hours to clean up the logs.

RCMP, Langley Township firefighters, and commercial vehicle inspectors were on the scene Friday morning. There was no word on what caused the accident.

ROTARY CLUB OF LANGLEY SUNRISE

Mountie sweethearts sued The former wife of a Langley Mountie is suing him and a female officer with whom he had an affair, claiming among other things that they falsely accused her of harassing them.

Nicole Verlie Burtwell, a mother of two, says Const.

Tyler Muir Greason ended their four-year marriage in November after having an affair and commencing a relationship with Const.

Michelle Hurtubise in 2011. In a notice of civil claim, Burtwell says that in February this year, Greason and Hurtubise filed a false report to the RCMP alleging that she had been harassing them.

“The defendants pro-

vided the false report to the RCMP’s Langley detachment with the improper and malicious intention of instigating an investigation into the plaintiff’s conduct and with the hope of criminal charges being laid against the plaintiff,” says the court document.

“The defendants were not acting in the course of their employment when the false report was made, but they were relying upon and abusing their status as police officers…”

Burtwell, a registered nurse, also claims that the defendants spread false rumours and made false accusations against her to friends and associates, including false rumours about her health and ability to care for her children.

She says she received a

Attention Lower Mainland Home Owners: 23 of you are about to make an important financial decision...

“Frustrated Contractor ‘Giving Away’ $5136 Furnaces for $1181 with purchase of Off-Season Central Air ...”**

NO MONEY DOWN, NO PAYMENTS AND INTEREST FREE TIL 2014* (This is the Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” ... especially if your furnace is over 8 years old)

Dear Friend I’m about to make you a deal that’s hard to refuse if you’ve got an “older” (and probably less than optimally efficient) furnace.

I’ll replace your old furnace AND heat pump as a “package deal” for at least $3136.00 less than you would pay any other time of the year.

Sound too good to be true?

It’s not and here’s why. I’m making you what sounds like an unbelievable offer because it actually makes good sense for my business. And you come out a winner, as well!

You see, I know from experience that in my slowest months I actually end up losing money ... then I have to spend the rest of the year trying to make up for it. Right now, I have no reason to believe 2013 will be any different.

That’s why I’ve decided to give up trying to make a profit during these months and minimize my losses ... so I can come out ahead the rest of the year.

So here’s how I can make the incredible offer at the top of this letter.

Every year the biggie furnace manufacturers guesstimate how many furnaces to produce. Since there’s no way of knowing what the weather will be like and other factors that affect sales, these guys always have leftover inventory they have to hold onto until the next heating season.

I saw a great business opportunity in this and went to one of these biggie companies (they won’t allow me to use their name in this letter) and contracted for the purchase of these furnaces that were going to just be sitting around. Plus, I bought 23 heat pumps all in the 3 most popular sizes used in Lower Mainland homes.

Because of the number I bought and the time of year I purchased them, I got an unbelievable deal ... rock-bottom prices.

Don’t get me wrong - these are brandnew, top quality, 2013 models. Not “seconds.”

Not “blems.” Not builder-grade. These are premium furnaces and heat pumps fresh from a name-brand factory with a full factory warranty.

How to Get Your Name Brand Furnace for Virtually Nothing By putting together this furnace-plusheat pump package (I call it the “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century”), going through some heavy negotiations with the

manufacturer, and then committing to buying 23 systems outright, I got BOTH the furnace AND the heat pump at a price that would have made Sam Walton proud. This means when you buy one of these 23 new, premiumquality heat pumps I will “give” you the furnace and ask you to pay only the $1181 in labor it costs to install your furnace.

Pick up your phone right now Simply call me at 946-1000 at anytime so I can come out and measure your home (to see if I’ve got the proper size unit).

Remember ... I’ve got only 23 matched systems in 3 sizes so you’ll want to let me know VERY SOON that you’re interested.

When these 23 systems are gone, they’re gone, and this offer is null and void. Call me right now so we can get the ball rolling!

As part of the deal, I’ll show you how much the heat pump costs ... how much the furnace WOULD have cost ... and your savings when you buy your new heat pump and furnace as part of this special offer. The price I show you will include all installation materials and labor. There’s no fine print, nothing left out.

Earlier I said that making you this amazing offer is also good business for me The way I look at it, by letting YOU win big now, I’ll win at the end of the year. And I won’t have to “make up” for the lost sales during my slowest months.

I figure if I make you an absolutely irresistible offer .. if your furnace is pushing 8 years or more ... and if I barely mark up the price I paid, I’ll accomplish 2 major objectives that will allow me to reduce my losses the rest of the year. I’ll be able to ...

• Pay my overhead (rent, utilities, insurance and taxes) during the slow period • Keep my service & installation technicians busy enough to pay them to work instead of sit at home.

As you can see, when you take me up on my “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century,” EVERYONE IS A WINNER! And by the way, there’s no obligation when you have me come out to measure your house and explain the installation If you decide you don’t want to take advantage of this incredible deal (although I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to save this kind of money), it’s no problem.

You’re not obligated in any way. In fact, just for taking time to read this letter and having me out to survey your house ... I’ll give you a

Very Special Free Gift Coupon ($50 value).

Why? Even if we don’t do business together now, I want you to remember us in the future.

If you’re thinking a new furnace (& heat pump) isn’t in your budget - don’t worry!

You don’t have to pay me right now Because I’ve tried to think of every reason possible why you WOULDN’T take me up on this spectacular offer, I’ve even made arrangements for a super bank rate financing plan. And I’m not “marking up” the interest rate like so many other companies do.

While I can’t promise you this, it’s possible that with this financing plan your monthly investments in a new system could be more than paid for by the savings you see on your monthly utility bills.

My Disappointment-Proof Guarantee Talking about lower utility bills, I’m so sure you’ll see at least a 25% cut in your heating and cooling bills (in reality, it may be more like 35%+), if you don’t I’ll pay you twice the difference for 2 years.

Not only are you getting a new, firstquality furnace virtually free, plus a firstquality heat pump at a great price, I guarantee you’ll lower your heating and cooling bills by at least 25% or I’ll pay you double your savings for 2 years. (This alone should convince you that these systems are some of the very best quality and most efficient available).

But you’ve got to act fast ... call me at 946-1000 right now! This offer ends May 15th no matter what Don’t wait to call me. Here’s why. I have only 8 of each of the 3 sizes. When all of the air conditioners are sold and all the furnaces “given away” in a certain size, the “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” is over.

And if I still have any of the 23 systems left on May 31st, this offer still ends. The reason is that my business only slows down for a short time. Since these furnaces cost me so little, if I’ve got any left, I’ll sell them next winter at last year’s prices and still come out ahead.

So call me right now at 946-1000 Thanking you in advance, Scott Campbell Owner P.S. Remember, there’s no obligation and even if you change your mind once I measure your house and give you the estimate - you still get that Free Gift Coupon worth $50.

Real job just getting started

The job interviews have been concluded, and today, it’s up to the boss to decide who will represent Langley and Fort LangleyAldergrove in running the affairs of British Columbia.

You’re the boss.

You decide which of the job applicants best meets the specification you have in mind to get the work done to your satisfaction.

Unlike in some other democracies, voting is not a legal responsibility here, just an ethical one. You won’t be fined or tossed in jail if you failed to show up at your designated polling place or didn’t exercise one of the many other options Elections BC ensured were at your disposal.

But whether or not you Email with voted, your job isn’t finished. From here on in, like any good boss, it’s your job to ensure that your employee – your MLA – is properly instructed in the work he or she is expected to do on your behalf.

And it’s your job to monitor his or her progress in completing his or her contractual obligation – to represent you and your neighbours in the Legislature.

And make no mistake about it: your MLA is your representative in Victoria.

Furthermore (and this is something that seems to get lost in translation within minutes after the polls close), you are your MLA’s boss, even if you preferred one of the other applicants for the job. He or she works for all of us… or is supposed to.

That is a message we’re hoping will be driven home to the successful applicant, as well.

An elected MLA is supposed to represent everyone in his or her riding – not just those whose votes gave him or her the job.

And certainly not just those whose ideas for running the province mesh exactly with the party leader’s.

Celebrate your mother every day

Dear Editor, Last Saturday Night I had my daughters over for dinner, and there was a moment, after I made a comment, during which I received a disapproving look – one that I had not seen in many years.

My eldest produced a stare with pressed lips that resembled what I would have gotten from my mother under a similar circumstance.

Wow! Was this a coincidence, the night before Mother’s Day? My mom was politically incorrect, but it worked for her and her family, like for so many others back in the day, as they called

it like they saw it.

I think of her more now than when she was alive. More than to the 12 years have passed.

You see, back then I did not have to think about her, because she was always just a phone call away, or a drive to the city.

Don’t take your moms or a mother figure in your life for granted. Tell them today how you feel about them, because there will always be a tomorrow… but maybe without your mom.

Happy Mother’s Day – every day.

Baseball

Fans put athletes in their mansions

Dear Editor, Brett Lawrie is obviously having trouble handling the pressure of being a baseball player in his home country.

He recently went off on

Twitter, blistering fans he believes are unqualified to level criticism of his play.

Lawrie had an exaggerated sense of self worth before he arrived in

Overseas labour

Cheap clothes prove deadly

Dear Editor, As I pulled on my socks this morning I was distressed to read a small name of the manufacturer attached. It read, “Joe Fresh.”

The newspaper reported that more than 1,000 bodies have been recovered in that horrendous collapse of the building that housed workers in Bangladesh who received atrociously low wages in slave-labour conditions.

It never entered my mind that the low prices we pay for many goods are at the expense of unfortunates who need the pitiful wages and work long hours in dreadful, unsafe conditions. In future I’ll attempt to find products from a country where this situation is forbidden.

I am glad to see that Mr. Weston, president of Loblaws, owners of the company that sold me the socks, immediately went to Dhaka, the city where the catastrophic event took place, and vowed to compensate the families of the bereaved by stating that his companies will never again allow a situation like this to occur with products they buy.

Good for him, but I still feel badly.

Mike Harvey, Langley

Toronto, and it has expanded there with his modicum of success.

He will get paid millions to play a silly game in which he was lucky to have been randomly supplied with the skills to do so.

What a great contribution to society Brett is.

He is the one who deserves derision, in light of the fact that, in his profession, one is considered an elite if his success rate at hitting the ball is 30 per cent. For those living and working in the real world, such a performance standard would result in dismissal.

I doubt that Lawrie will develop the maturity to one day realize that it is the fans that put him in his mansions and expensive sports cars.

I’m tired of spoiled, petulant athletes who blame others or complain about their good fortune.

Campbell Valley Park

Room for racing cars with horses

Dear Editor, Mr. Neuman incorrectly refers to the motorsports community as “a small special interest group” and he ends with a misleading statement, “While a race is being held, no one else is able to use the park for the use it was intended for, and that’s not what mixed use is about.” [Park no place for racing cars, May 2 Letters, Langley Advance.]

Motorsports has long been touted as the number one spectator sport in North America, challenged only by football – a far cry from “a small special interest group.”

Langley is the self-proclaimed “Horse Capital of Canada,” but could just as easily proclaim itself the “Car Enthusiasts Capital of Canada.” Businesses that employ many people in Langley today are a legacy of the track that closed 29 years ago – they exist today because the track existed yesterday.

The motorsports community is asking to use only 25 of 1,400 acres in Campbell Valley Park, 12 to 14 times per year, for shows that will last about four hours. They want to use less than two per cent of the park for less than four per cent of the year.

That leaves the great majority of the park available for many other uses 365 days a year. There only has to be conflict if one chooses to search it out.

TODAY’S FLYERS... in the

In exchange for limited use, the motorsports community will refurbish the track and spectator area into a multi-use facility at no expense to the taxpayer and create a revenue stream that can be used on other park projects, even horse ones.

Nowhere else in the Metro Vancouver area do we have an outdoor facility capable of seating 10,000 people into a beautiful natural bowl to watch such things as outdoor theatre, concerts, or even a car race.

This is a multi-use park intended for the general public in the Lower Mainland. It has never been just a horse park. It is greatly under-utilized.

The horse and motorsports communities have peacefully co-existed in Langley for years. Not all equestrian people are opposed to this proposal. Some actually support it, because they see that many of the improvements the motorsports community will make can actually be to their benefit.

This is a Metro Vancouver Park, supported in part by my tax dollars along with everyone else’s in the Lower Mainland, for all of our use.

Healthcare

McHappy Day for Langley volunteer Last Wednesday’s fundraiser had an extra special meaning for a McDonald’s operations consultant.

McDonald’s restaurants operations consultant Michelle Mitchell visited the McDonald’s in Willowbrook last Wednesday to lend her support to McHappy Day. One dollar from the sale of each Big Mac, Happy Meal, or McCafé beverage on May 8 went to children’s charities.

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Michelle Mitchell loves Mondays.

Usually twice a month, the Langley resident, an operations consultant for a number of McDonald’s restaurants in Langley, visits Ronald McDonald House to spend time with RMH’s young patients and their families.

She cherishes her four-hour volunteer shifts on Monday nights at RMH, which offers a home-away-from home for children requiring medical treatment at BC Children’s Hospital, and for their families.

“Basically, we’re there for support for the families,” Mitchell said. “We’re there to help anyone that needs anything and we’re there to play with the kids, have some fun, and give the parents a little bit of time that they can get away a little bit.”

Over the past eight months since she started volunteering at RHM, Mitchell has bonded with many of the young RMH residents, including one little girl, Eden, who made a bracelet for her.

Another resident, two-year-old Traedan, also has a special place in Mitchell’s heart. Traedan is battling leukemia.

“He’s my boy; I absolutely

outside Metro Vancouver without a place to stay, but only 400 of these families are fortunate to secure spots in the current 14room facility.

This is why a new RMH is being built on the campus of BC Children’s Hospital. The LEED Gold Plus standard facility, estimated to cost $31.2 million, will accommodate 73 families in guest rooms, each with their own washrooms.

It will help 2,500 families annually and will include four kitchens, four dining halls, four courtyards, a media room, fitness centre, teen and youth rooms, education centre, library, magic room, quiet room, laundry areas, and lounges.

“It’s going to be an amazing facility, because it breaks my heart when we have to turn away someone who is in desperate need,” Mitchell said.

Supporting RMH is what last Wednesday’s McHappy Day was all about.

During McHappy Day, $1 from every Big Mac, Happy Meal, and hot McCafé beverage sold at McDonald’s restaurants goes to children’s charities, including RMH. May 8 marked the 20th McHappy Day in McDonald’s Canada’s history. Since it was first introduced in 1977, the one-day fundraising event has raised $38 million for RMH charities Canada, Ronald McDonald Houses, and local children’s charities across Canada.

Mitchell, who started working at the Langley McDonald’s 23 years ago, said she looks forward to McHappy Day each year.

Clinics

Wanted: blood donors

Finding an hour next Tuesday, May 21, may help save a life.

Long weekends tend to be a time when people are busy or distracted but the need for blood donations remains constant.

Canada Blood Services reminds Langley residents that there is a convenient blood donor clinic on the Victoria Day long weekend.

It’s 1-8 p.m. on May 21 at the Murrayville Hall, 21667 48th Ave. While there is a continuous need for all blood types, there is always a greater need for the “universal donor” – blood donors with O-negative blood.

It is the only blood type that is compatible with all others.

“When someone’s life is on the line and seconds matter, there’s no time to check blood type, so hospital patients receive O-negative blood,” said Ed Yee, director of Donor and Clinic Services for the B.C. and Yukon region of Canadian Blood Services.

“It is the blood type used in the most critical situations: for neonates, patients with compromised immune systems, and for trauma victims.”

Remember to make an appointment to donate blood by booking online at www.blood. ca.

Future donors can also call 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-2366283).

St. Joseph’s Church Hall, 20676 Fraser Hwy., Langley

Looking back…

Langley’s history, as recorded in the files of the Langley Advance.

Eighty Years Ago

May 4, 1933

May 6, 1943

For information call Paul and Deanna (604-530-0951)

1933: Fire squad started Fifty Years Ago

Equipment needed for the fire squad was expected to cost $1,000 to $1,500.

• The tennis club reduced membership fees to $5, and announced play would resume as soon as the current rainy season ended.

Seventy Years Ago

The Catholic Church was established by Jesus, teaches with authority and offers comprehensive spiritual formation

LangleyAdvance

• Langley’s Fourth Victory Loan Drive raised $165,000 in its first week. Organizers were hoping to raise it to $265,000. A parade was led

by Cpl. Colin Dale dressed as John Bull, riding a cart with an effigy of Hitler hung on the back.

• Meanwhile, 126 Langley men and women went to Vancouver in school buses, to donate blood.

Sixty Years Ago

May 7, 1953

• Dave Stafford of Langley beat Rev. Bob Richards of Long Beach, California, at a track meet at UBC, to win the 100-yard dash in 10.1 seconds. Stafford already held Canada’s student and junior championships.

• Damages caused on several occasions to public and private properties prompted Township council to require that house movers be accompanied by a municipal employee while moving a building.

Forty Years Ago

May 3, 1973

• The 11th annual Langley Walk attracted 3,000 participants.

• Fire Marshal Al Trayer confirmed the fire that destroyed St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Education Centre was an arson.

Twenty Years Ago

May 5, 1993

• At the very least, a Labour Relations Board mediator brought in to work with the local school board and teachers in their contract dispute was expected to delay a strike. But a report from the board’s negotiator, Secretary-Treasurer Paul Makortoff, indicated that the two parties were still a long way from a settlement.

Two days after mediator Barbara Sharp arrived, the

teachers’ union asked her to book out of the negotiations.

• A truckload of stolen cigarettes worth $1.5 million was found abandoned in Langley. The truck was stuck in a muddy driveway.

It had been hi-jacked at gun-point, and its driver gagged and dumped unharmed at the side of the road, in New Westminster earlier in the day.

• The Langley Walk drew 820 participants – about 200 more than in the previous year – for the first full day of sunshine in weeks.

• A 44-year-old Chilliwack man was arrested and charged with second degree murder in connection with the death of Brookswood resident Angela Richards 11 months earlier.

Ten Years Ago

May 6, 2003

• Township workers came to the aid of a woman who was being viciously beaten on the Fort to Fort Trail.

• A Langley teacher convicted of sexually assaulting his students was now facing trial on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder.

May 9, 2003

• A spat between the City of Surrey and the RCMP improved Langley’s chances of hosting the new B.C. RCMP headquarters.

• A 21-year-old man was charged with the vicious beating of a woman on the Fort-to-Fort Trail which was interrupted by a Township

NLL title game thrills sold-out crowd 5,500 fans watched the Rochester Knighthawks repeat as NLL champions with an 11-10 win over the Washington Stealth. sports@langleyadvance.com

Joel McCready was one happy lacrosse player Saturday.

The 25-year-old Maple Ridge resident celebrated a National Lacrosse League title with his Rochester Knighthawks teammates after they edged the Washington Stealth 11-10 in front of a sold-out crowd of 5,500 fans at the Langley Events Centre.

McCready said it was a day to remember for him and a Knighthawks team that repeated as Champion’s Cup titleholders.

“It was awesome,” McCready said. “A packed arena, really loud, and a good tight lacrosse game between two good teams. We luckily came out on top. It was a fun game Les Bazso, PNG to play in.”

The Rochester Knighthawks celebrated after capturing the Champion’s Cup Saturday at the Langley Events Centre.

Jr. Thunder rally from home floor loss It took the Langley Jr. Thunder one game to get its mojo back after dropping its home opener Thursday at the Langley Events Centre.

Two days after losing 11-9

to the Port Coquitlam Saints in its 2013 home floor debut, the Thunder rallied with an 11-8 win over the host Victoria Shamrocks Saturday at Bear Mountain Arena.

Sean Lundstrom (four goals,

one assist) and Adam Will (three goals, two assists) led the Thunder offence.

The win improved the Thunder to 3-1 in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League action.

Champion’s Cup decided by single goal …continued from page A17

Washington pressed fiendishly in the waning moments.

Rochester goaltender Matt Vinc stood his ground on a try by Rhys Duch, the league’s leading goal scorer in the regular season, with 18 seconds left. Duch got off a scoop shot with two seconds left, too, that Vinc smothered.

“Woulda, could, shoulda,” Duch

shrugged afterwards. “Vinc was going down. I don’t think I made the right shot on that first one.

I should have gone far side and high. And the last one, I was trying to get it on net.

“It’s all hindsight now, though.”

A late goal would have upped the bedlam level at the LEC to absurd, thanks in large part to so many Stealth fans travelling from

Everett, Wash., for the game.

Ratcliff said it’s always hard to lose in a final. “Obviously it’s disappointing to make it that far [and not win],” he said. “You never know when you’ll make it back to a championship game. This was my fourth trip there in 11 years, so it’s tough to lose.”

Venues

Great outdoors await athletes

Golf, track and field, bocce, and soccer events will be held at venues across Langley during the fast-approaching 2013 Special Olympics BC Summer Games.

Athletes, coaches, and volunteers taking part in the 2013 SOBC Summer Games July 11-14 will more than likely be very impressed by the venues they’ll be using.

With the Games quickly approaching, excitement is building fast around the fields and facilities for the 11 sporting events.

ANNOUNCEMENTS 1170

MARCH 19, 1922 -APRIL 23, 2013 Passed away peacefully at Cedar Hills in Langley.

Predeceased by her loving husband Stan in January of this year. Helen will be greatly missed by all her family and friends.

Survived by her daughter Deborah (Duncan) and her three sons Max (Marla), Jay (Linda) and Kelly (Sheryl), 6 grandchildren Jacqui, Kevin, Fiona, Jordan, Stevie, Iain and 2 great-grandchildren Tyson and Chloe.

Helen will be remembered by all for her loyalty to friends, her industriousness, love of horses and playing cards. She worked as a welder during WWII, raised calves on the farm, clerked at the Auto and Fraser Valley Auctions and at Fraser Downs Racetrack until she was 90.

Helen was a big believer in giving back and supported multiple charities through donations and volunteering. Her favourite charities were the Variety Club and Children’s Hospital. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, a donation be made to one of those charities.

It was Helen’s request that no remembrance service be conducted and that her and Stan’s ashes be spread near their old farm in Langley.
