A birthday bash for Canada

Citizenship Court was a lifechanging experience for 51 people who officially became new Canadians Monday.

by Troy Landreville

Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman, and Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese.

Minor, who took the citizenship oath himself in 1976, told the Citizenship Court participants that the ceremony represents a good opportunity to reflect on what Canadian citizenship

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

The recent heat wave that has sizzled Langley residents socked in on Canada Day Monday at the Fort Langley National Historic Site, which attracted Canadians of all ages to the place known as the Birthplace of B.C. One of the highlights of the Fort’s Canada Day celebration was Citizenship Court, in which 51 people of different ages and ethnic backgrounds were sworn in as new Canadians.

Citizenship Court began with Kwantlen First Nation elder Lekeyten drumming in a procession of dignitaries into a tent where the ceremony was held.

The elder was followed by a Mountie in red serge, presiding judge Dane Minor, Langley MP Mark Warawa, outgoing Langley City Mayor (and elected SurreyFleetwood MLA and B.C. Minister of Education) Peter Fassbender,

means.

“It isn’t just a certificate, it isn’t just a passport,” he told them. “Citizenship means much more than that. We enjoy rights and freedoms unknown in many countries in the world. The right to live and work in any part of the country we choose; the freedom to practise our own religion; and the freedom to express our own ideas and opinions without fear of retribution.”

Among the new Canadians being sworn in was Dermot Connolly, who was born in Galway, Ireland.

He and his family have lived in Langley since 2007.

Connolly moved to Canada to be with his wife Karm. The couple has two young children, Rian and Asher.

“It took me five years to do this, and it means a lot,” Connolly said, moments before officially becoming a Canadian.

“I came here for my wife, and we have two great kids. It’s really important for me to be here and be in the ceremony. The fact we’re doing it on July 1 and in Fort Langley is extra special. It means an awful lot.”

Connolly said the way of life in Canada is very similar to life

back home in Ireland.

“People are very friendly, a lot more laid back, and the climate is a lot better, too,” he said.

“Nobody goes to Ireland for the climate – it rains a lot there.

There are very friendly people and I just love being here.”

A diverse group of entertainers performed inside the Fort walls including the Royal Academy of Bhangra Dancers, Kwantlen Drummers Procession, the White Spot Pipe Band and Highland Dancers, and the choir Les Échos du Pacifique, and the Compaigni V’Ni Dansi Louis Riel Metis Dancers.

At noon, birthday cake was cut up and passed out to visitors and there was a flag-raising ceremony.

The Fort Langley Lions Club cooked up pancakes and sausages to kick off the festivities.

At McLeod Athletic Park, a massive Canada Day bash drew hundreds of families with young children. Midway events, including a climbing wall, a dozen varieties of bouncy castle and slide, mini-golf, pony rides, and dog agility displays, along with live music, provided entertainment into the evening. Fireworks were scheduled for after dark.

Man facing charges for indecent incidents Police believe they have tracked down the man who exposed himself to a 12year-old.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

An Aldergrove man was headed to court Thursday to face charges after he allegedly committed an indecent act in front of a 12-year-old girl, among others.

The first complaint, which involved the man exposing himself, came in to the police from the young girl in Brookswood.

Over the next few months, more complaints were received that were similar.

A small Langley RCMP task force including officers from the Serious Crime, Street Enforcement Unit, and General Duty section identified a suspect.

The task force then followed and covertly surveilled him for 25 days, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley

RCMP. The officers recorded their suspect committing more indecent acts, police allege.

One reason for the extensive surveillance was a desire to gather evidence that could spare the 12-year-old victim from having to testify in court, if possible, said Marks.

On June 26, a 34-year-old man was arrested and is now facing several criminal code charges.

Rollie Ibardolaza Teodosio has been charged with three counts of committing an indecent act,

Pizza the prize for schools’ green showdown

Langley students earned a pizza party for cutting down their carbon footprints.

Langley students were given a special homework assignment that they took home and took to heart, and their efforts earned a tasty pay-off.

A Climate Change Showdown was issued by the BC Sustainable Energy Association to children throughout the province in Grades 4-7. The program was designed to teach kids about climate change and promote behaviours in the classroom and at home that would make a difference to the environment.

The Township of Langley funded participation in the program and classes at Langley Fundamental Middle, Langley Meadows, Topham, and Fort Langley Elementary got on board and worked with their families, teachers, and classmates to reduce energy use and avoid the production of greenhouse gases (GHGs). As Climate Change Showdown Superheroes, they earned points by taking as many

actions possible to reduce their carbon footprints.

“Little things all add up. We help students to see that everything from having their parents check the car tire pressure and taking shorter showers to composting and changing to energy-efficient lighting makes a difference,” said Renate Sitch, program manager for the Climate Change Showdown.

The contest was introduced during 90 minute workshops that were given to each classroom by the BC Sustainable Energy Association.

Through games and storytelling, the children learned what a sustainable future would look like, and how they could contribute to it.

A follow-up session was also held to see how the kids were doing with the Showdown – and to remind them to continue the actions all year – as well as hear about the changes they were making at home and in the community.

In all, 275 students participated from Langley, avoiding 154 tonnes of GHGs. Of those, Claire Burns’ Grade 5 class at Fort Langley Elementary avoid-

Science World also provided passes to each student in the winning class.

“The Township is

thrilled that Langley students, with the help of their teachers and families, have implemented actions such as car-free days and growing their own food to limit their impacts on our climate,” Schmidt said.

“Their ideas and enthusiasm will lead us to a more energy efficient and sus-

tainable future.”

“Climate change is a timely topic and we are pleased to see it being discussed in the community and in the classroom through student involvement and initiatives,” said Langley school superintendent of Schools Suzanne Hoffman. “We’re

proud of all the Langley students who took part in the Climate Change Showdown and especially pleased with the efforts of Ms. Burns’ Grade 5 class.”

During the Climate Change Showdown, Langley students came up with 35 of their own ideas to reduce energy use, including wearing layers instead of turning on the heat, using less water when brushing their teeth, utilizing solar appliances, and planting trees.

Langley School District recognizes its impact and responsibilities regarding climate change and has taken proactive steps to reduce its carbon footprint, said district director of environment Debby Sansome.

“This year Langley introduced a new recycling program and instituted Green Teams in every school,” she said. “The school that contributed the most by taking on environmental education and implementing conservation programs received points towards a grand prize of a bottle refill station. It is great to see the Climate Change Showdown complement that program so well.”

Local firefighters are urging caution as the weather becomes hotter and drier.

Despite a damp couple of weeks, the danger of fire is on the minds of local and provincial firefighting officials.

Fire doused in abandoned house

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Fraser Highway was briefly closed on Friday morning while firefighters doused a blaze in Aldergrove.

The fire was in an abandoned house in the 26700 block of the highway, and Langley Township fire crews were called in at about 6:08 a.m.

Two halls worth of firefighters extinguished the blaze in about 10 minutes, said assistant fire chief Pat Walker.

They had to block off

the westbound lanes of Fraser Highway for about 45 minutes during the early part of the morning rush hour, to access fire hydrants.

“There were no occupants,” Walker said.

The house has apparently been vacant for some time, but neighbours said that there may have been homeless people living there.

The electricity had been turned off. It seems the cause of the fire may have been homeless people lighting a fire in the living room for fire or heat.

The interior of the house suffered most of the damage, and the house will now have to be demolished, Walker said.

The fire department is now trying to contact the owner of the building.

Provincially, the government has already banned large scale open burning, and only small contained campfires were allowed.

Clearing a fuel free area around a campfire, making certain to have a shovel or at least eight litres of water, and keeping the fire below half a metre in height and diameter are required.

“It’s important to respect the use of fire,” said minister of forests and lands Steve Thomson.

“Once you start a campfire, you are legally responsible for making sure it doesn’t escape and that it is completely extinguished before you leave the area.”

In the last two weeks of June, the entire Metro Vancouver area had been considered “low danger” for forest fires and brush fires.

But despite that, the rules against outdoor cooking fires were already in place.

They’ll be more important following hot temperatures starting on the long weekend.

“It’s not burning season at all,” said Walker. That means there is no way, with or without a permit, to burn in the backyard.

There have been a few serious brush fires in Langley, most recently in 2010 along Highway One. Langley City does not allow back-

Members of the Columbia Corps of cadets have helped boost the tree amounts in the Walk for the Fallen memorial grove.

The Navy cadets of Columbia, which includes 125 Navy League and 169 Sea Cadets, raised the money, $300, for a tree at the memorial grove in the Derek Doubleday Arboretum on Fraser Highway.

Walk for the Fallen was created by

Elizabeth said the community has sponsored most of the trees, with about 20 remaining.

The names of the donors go on a plaque at the site which was turned into the Township cenotaph.

At the same event, the B.C. Veterans’ Commemorative Association made presentations to the cadets for their efforts and made the Pratts honourary members.

Fundraiser

Sex abuse survivor set to ride for Sophie’s Place

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Andy Bhatti has stepped out from the long shadow cast from a tumultuous past.

Now he’s focusing his time and energy on giving back.

The sexual abuse survivor and former drug addict continues to raise funds and awareness, to keep others from taking the same path he found himself on as a teen and young adult.

Earlier this spring the Langley resident was the co-organizer and key promoter of a charity poker tournament at the Aldergrove Legion that raised $25,000 for the B.C. Society for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse (BCSMSSA).

The money will go towards helping male survivors of sexual abuse on their road to recovery.

On the heels of that successful poker fundraiser, Bhatti is now training to cover 525 kilometres of B.C. asphalt during the Men of Hope Ride For A Reason.

From July 15-20, he’ll be pedaling his road bike from Vernon to Vancouver to benefit Sophie’s Place, a child advocacy centre in Surrey.

Leading up to the ride, and

the tournament that preceded it, Bhatti has willingly shared his story of the sexual abuse he suffered from a former Big Brother volunteer in Langley.

Bhatti’s abuser, who in 2008 was jailed for sex crimes against two young children in the Vernon area, assaulted him over a four-year period.

The abuse pushed him into an endless loop of drug abuse and crime. To feed his heroin addiction, Bhatti became a career criminal. All the while he lived on the street, sleeping in cars and hotel rooms, or wherever he could find warmth.

He smoked heroin for the last time on Sept. 26, 2006, and since then has been working hard to turn his life around.

Recently he has directed 100 per cent of his efforts to helping others.

The beneficiary of his cycling trek is Sophie’s Place. Since opening its doors in February 2012, the centre has provided services to children and youth up to the age of 18 who are victims of sexual, mental, and physical abuse.

RCMP child protection, victim services, and the Centre for Child Development work together with Sophie’s Place on reported cases of child abuse.

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

Andy Bhatti and Judy Krawchuk are promoting a 525 kilometre cycling journey that Bhatti is taking from Vernon to Vancouver, benefiting Sophie’s Place.

“Sophie’s Place is the first child advocacy centre in British Columbia,” explained Judy Krawchuk, vice president of the Child Development Foundation of B.C. “It’s one of only probably a handful in all of Canada.

It’s a place where children who have been abused can come and share their story in a more family-friendly environment.”

Bhatti decided to support Sophie’s Place because “the money goes to children.”

“My abuse was when I was a kid, so it’s good to help both [adults and children],” he said.

“I did one event and the money will go to adults. This money will go to help young kids who

are survivors of sexual abuse from the ages of zero to 16.”

Named after its patron Sophie Tweed-Simmons, daughter of KISS bassist/vocalist and reality TV star Gene Simmons, Sophie’s Place offers a comfortable, welcoming environment for children, according to Krawchuk.

“Once you’ve had probably the most traumatizing experience of your life, it’s a place that feels safe,” Krawchuk said.

“They do their interview for sexual abuse in that centre instead of a cop shop, so [they’re] totally not going to be scared,” Bhatti offered. “The place is painted like a children’s hospital. It’s a safer environ-

ment. In a safe environment, a kid will talk; if it’s an uncomfortable environment, the kid won’t talk – guaranteed.”

If a child chooses to disclose his or her story at Sophie’s Place, it’s taped and can be used in court and also by each of the departments involved in the case.

The ride starting in Vernon is no coincidence. That’s where the man who made Bhatti’s life hell as a child in Langley was arrested for his attacks on two other children.

This is Bhatti’s first foray into long distance cycling and while he knows it’s going to be difficult, it’s a ride in the park compared to what he’s endured in the past.

“It’s going to be hard, but it’s going to be good because it will raise a lot of public awareness,” Bhatti said. “If I can walk around the streets of downtown Vancouver wired on crack cocaine and heroin for like, 16, 17, 18 hours a day, I can ride a bike for eight hours a day.”

The ride winds up with a fundraising dinner gala being held July 20 from 6-12 p.m. at the Sheraton Wall Centre.

Tickets are $100 each. The event includes door prizes, a raffle, and a silent auction.

More sponsors and riders are needed. To get involved, or to purchase a ticket to the gala, call 604-309-1573 or email andy. bhatti@hotmail.com.

Cutting for the sake of cutting

Energy minister Bill Bennett at least had the good grace to admit that his job of trimming the fat from the government’s finances won’t be easy.

Buried within the new throne speech and budget this week was the news that it was time, yet again, to rein in government spending.

First, $30 million has to be cut from government spending this year. According to the Vancouver Sun, that will save the average family a whopping $42.

But next April, Bennett has to slice $100 million out of the provincial budget.

That’s on top of the hiring freezes, wage freezes, red-tape cutting, budget-slashing, and general cost cutting that has already been done over the past 12 years in B.C. Bennett boldly declared “it can be done” in regards to his new mandate. He’s also promised (as does every government, and indeed every carbon-based life form that has ever considered running for office in Canada) to protect key social services like health and education.

How, exactly, does that work?

It’s not that we want to see government spending skyrocket. No one wants to see any government start building, just to pick a couple of examples at random, a giant stadium upgrade for the benefit of millionaires, or a fleet of ill-designed ferries. But after a while, you start to wonder if there’s any fat left to cut.

You have to actually pay the people who work for the government. You have to actually buy stuff to build roads and hospitals and schools. You cannot get away from the fundamental fact that it costs money to have a civilized society.

We hope that those in Victoria know that after a while, you have to take a break from cutting. Sometimes, you want to cut taxes.

But sometimes you have to raise them.

Sometimes you can privatize things, but some things are too valuable to be left to the whims of the profit-driven private sector.

So cut, but please, stop before you hit the bone.

– M.C.

PETS and PEBS subtly different of the time, but don’t try to fool them all of the time.”

Politicians need to rediscover some of the benefits of honesty – used carefully, of course.

Consequent to Lincoln’s Law of Fools, we Bob Groeneveld can derive the following corollary: a PETS, editor@langleyadvance.com unlike a PEBS, should contain at least some honesty.

Environment

Floodplains vital to life

Dear Editor, Dr. Marvin Rosenau showed conclusively at the Forum on the Fort Langley Floodplain on May 23 that clearing of trees, leveling and filling of land, and residential development degrade rivers.

Rainwater does not get into the ground. Detention ponds only limit maximum or peak flows, but the total flow downstream is much larger, and that damages the stream.

Coho numbers fall.

So why is Langley Township encouraging the Wall, Tuscan, and who knows what other developments in the rural upstream area of an ecologically important river? This is not the right place for development.

Less clear at the forum was what to do about flooding in the Fort Langley floodplain.

The floodplain has always flooded and so has always been an area productive only for hay. Hay is quite

Food worth fight

Dear Editor, On May 25, millions of people worldwide marched to protest GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) included in the food we eat.

The level of anxiety about what our food consists of is increasing. Food quality is being questioned worldwide.

As Canadians, we need to force our government to require more rigorous and long-term testing by companies such as Monsanto that don’t give a damn about what people eat, as long as it makes profits. All testing needs to be verified by independent third parties.

At the very least, labeling of GMO ingredients is a starting point.

Canadians demand more of their government than what they are now getting. Companies can not be trusted.

resistant to flooding.

So should something be done for the farmers?

That has already happened. Increased drainage was achieved in 1994 with installation of a large screw pump.

To further mollify the farmers, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans compromised the river’s ecology by measures including letting the Township pump the river a foot below historic levels.

Not satisfied with that compromise, the farmers and a weak Township are asking for more. For instance, the farmers want the screw pump to operate year round, and claim, along with the Township, that the pump is not being operated in accordance with design.

The argument is patently incorrect. With the ecological importance of the Salmon River, the 1994 agreements made it very clear that there was no approval for routine pumping outside the spring period when the Fraser River is in flood.

Meanwhile, the community has been totally shut out of recent negotiations, and the still-increasing bill to the taxpayers for all this folly is estimated to be $3 million or more.

Taking a compromise, distorting it, trying to make significant changes in your favour, and shutting out stakeholder groups certainly fit the definition of “bargaining in bad faith.”

Dear Editor, The United States is the most religious country in the Western world, according to statistics. Two out of three people, it is claimed, are church members and have faith in their religion, whatever it may be.

On the other hand, the great majority in Europe, it is reported, do not attend church, and fail to belong to an organized religion.

You would assume that, because of this disparity, the U.S.A. would be a far better place to live, as there would be a lower crime rate.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The Americans have more prisoners behind bars than any other Western country. They have many times the number of murders and people being shot, and their Civil War alone counted more dead than

Freediving

Titanium spine implants renewed chance for diver One of Canada’s best freedivers is taking on a new surgery.

by Zoe McKnight

Jill Yoneda is having surgery to allow her to continue competing as a freediver.

Special to the Langley Advance

To treat her severe neck pain, Langley free-diver Jill Yoneda faced the possibility she would never again glide in the ocean to depths of 180 feet.

In 2012, three herniated discs forced Yoneda to take a break from her sport and consider her options for treatment.

She was told the “gold standard” would involve fusing two vertebra together with bone grafts, severely limiting her mobility forever.

“Having a neck full of pins and plates, and losing the ability to move was a nightmarish thought for me,” said the Langley resident, a member of the Canadian Freediving Team who has been described as one of the best freedivers in Canada.

Spinal flexibility is supreme in the sport, during which the athlete takes a huge gulp of air and swims deep down in the ocean or way out in a pool lane, using one fin to propel herself with her arms stretched past her head.

Another aspect of the sport is called static apnea, or simply holding one’s breath.

Yoneda made the Canadian

team in 2006, 2008 and 2012, and has held three world records for dynamic apnea, the pool swim. Her personal best is 150 metres, and she can hold her breath for five minutes and 35 seconds.

Freediving carries the attendant risk of blackouts, heart attacks, oxygen poisoning and drowning. But it was Yoneda’s degenerative disc disease that nearly stopped her career at 38.

“The hypothesis is because I’ve been a competitive swimmer my entire life and diving for so long, it could just be wear and tear,” she said.

One doctor told her she had

the spine of an 80-year-old.

Another told her to start living a life more suitable to her age – discouraging, she said, because “I didn’t think 38 was an old age.”

But rather than give up her beloved sport, a neurosurgeon at Victoria General Hospital proposed a new treatment upon viewing an MRI scan: rather than fusing the bones together, he could try disc implants between vertebra 5-6 and 6-7.

He surgically inserted two 14millimetre titanium replacement discs – made by Ontario company Medtronic – that allowed Yoneda to retain her range of

motion. Within three months of the surgery, she competed at the world championships in Nice, France. The scars are minimal and she was able to stop taking pain narcotics immediately following the surgery.

“Disc replacements are designed to preserve motion, so the neck could still move normally and not strain the other discs,” Dr. John Sun said in a phone interview from Vancouver Island.

Treating Yoneda was a first for him as well; most of his patients have just one disc implant.

Yoneda eventually had three: two last May and a third in

March of this year between vertebra 4-5 after a relapse.

The two-hour surgery isn’t necessarily risky, Sun said, but it’s very costly at up to $7,000 per disc and its long-term success rate isn’t known since it’s only been around for five years.

Sun knows of only one other surgeon in B.C. who does the surgery.

“We really don’t know the long-term outcome of the implants,” said Sun, who performs around 30 fusion surgeries a year, and fewer than 20 disc replacements since he began doing them three years ago.

There are only five years’ worth of collected data on the discs. But “comparable to fusion it’s maybe better in terms of preserving the other levels” of the spine, he said.

For now, disc replacement is limited to athletes and the very fit and active, he said.

“Dr. Sun was the first surgeon to actually sit down and consider my passion and my sport, and try to come up with a medical resolution to allow me to continue my sport, and I really appreciate that about him,” Yoneda said. “He didn’t take the easy route, which would be to just go in and fuse it.”

She began physiotherapy in May and is determined to compete at a University of B.C. event this summer.

Athan Iannucci muscled a shot past Coquitlam Adanacs defender Brad Richardson during Western Lacrosse Association action last Wednesday at the Langley Events Centre.

Stealth defenceman Mike Grimes plays for the Western Lacrosse Association’s Langley Thunder during the summer and lives in Coquitlam, so he’ll be in familiar territory when the next NLL season rolls around.

“It’s exciting [for the Stealth] to be moving to Langley for me, being a guy from Coquitlam,” said Grimes, who played alongside fellow Thunder players Athan Iannucci, Lewis Ratcliff, and Mitch McMichael with the Stealth this past season.

On a personal note, Grimes’ commute time to NLL games will be slashed from about twoand-half hours (when he factors in border lineups) to about 40 minutes.

“It should be an advantage for us to have all the players in the same area for a game,” he said.

Senior A lacrosse

Thunder battle to second tie of season The Thunder and Coquitlam Adanacs settled for an 8-8 tie last Wednesday.

by Troy Landreville sports@langleyadvance.com

Depending on if you’re a pessimist or optimist, there are two ways of looking at the Langley Thunder’s Western Lacrosse Association, as it’s unfolded thus far.

On the positive side of the ledger, the Thunder is far and away the best defensive team in the senior A league, allowing a WLA-low 73 goals in 10 games, 13 fewer than the front-running Victoria Shamrocks.

However, if you are a glass-half-empty sort of fan, the Thunder’s offence has sputtered, scoring a league-low 85 goals.

This all equates into a 5-3-2 record, as the Thunder sits tied with the surprising Maple Ridge Burrards for second place in the seventeam loop.

Last Wednesday at the Langley Events Centre, the Thunder battled to its second overtime deadlock in a week, tying the Coquitlam Adanacs 8-8.

The previous Wednesday, June 19, Langley went to overtime with the visiting New Westminster Salmonbellies before the teams finished in a 7-7 draw.

This time around, both the Thunder and Adanacs had to play catch-up at various points of the contest.

The Thunder held what looked to be a comfortable 4-1 lead at one point before the Adanacs stormed back with three unanswered goals to tie the game.

Goals from Athan Iannucci and Shayne Jackson restored Langley’s two-goal lead before the second period was finished.

The Adanacs scored the only two goals of

the third period to tie the score and send the game into overtime.

During the non-sudden-death, 10-minute extra session, the Adanacs jumped out to an 8-6 lead, forcing the Thunder to battle back to preserve the single point.

Goals from Iannucci (his third of the night, scored 20 seconds after Coquitlam’s Brett Hickey made it 8-6) and Brandon Goodwin rounded out the night’s scoring.

Along with Iannucci’s hat trick, Goodwin and Alex Turner each scored a pair for the home team, with Jackson adding a single tally.

The Thunder had a week-long break and return to action tomorrow night (Wednesday, July 3) with a home date with Maple Ridge.

For Sponsor or Ticket information please call Susan Cairns at 604-532-1464 or email scairns@sd35.bc.ca

Game time for the Thunder/Burrards match-up is 7:45 p.m. at the LEC. FINAL BUZZER: The Thunder’s surprisingly anemic offence is getting a monster-sized boost with the news that skilled left-hander Mark Matthews along with Adam Jones are joining the club from the Brooklin Redmen of Major Series Lacrosse.

The 23-year-old Matthews tallied 38 goals for the Edmonton Rush this past National Lacrosse League season, and finished fifth in NLL scoring with 69 points.

The 6’4” Matthews was the Thunder’s first pick (fifth overall) in the 2012 WLA draft.

Also joining the Thunder is another offensively skilled player, Jeremy Noble from the Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks.

GM hopes to ‘grow game’ …continued from page A17 “By having a pro team in the region, we believe that it will really helps grow lacrosse in general,” he predicted. “We will do whatever we can to work with the minor association right up to the WLA team, depending on what kind of support they need. We’re all in it together.

We all represent lacrosse. Our ultimate goal is to grow the game and make it as strong a product as possible.”

For those unfamiliar with lacrosse and the NLL, Grimes compares what is dubbed as “the fastest sport on two feet” to hockey, but with more goals.

“It’s a fast-paced, high energy game, with lots of scoring and lots of hitting,” he said. “We have world class talent coming in; the best players in the world.”

The Stealth and LEC will be hosting a press conference on July 2 in which information pertaining to ticket pricing, season ticket availability, sponsorship opportunities and more plans will be announced.

The NLL season starts in mid- to late December or early January and runs to the end of April with the playoffs stretching into mid-May. The Stealth will hold its training camp in November.

Games are primarily held on weekends, usually Saturday nights.

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

Eighty Years Ago

June 22, 1933

• The Fort Berry Growers’ Association’s first strawberries of the season were shipped to Edmonton by Hans Skov.

• C.E. Lawrence won the local nomination for the local arm of the provincial W.J. Bowser Non-Partisan movement.

Seventy Years Ago

June 24, 1943

• E.A. Fountain headed the Greek War Relief campaign in Langley.

• Bologna at 25 cents per pound and wieners, selling for 28 cents per pound, were still obtainable without ration coupons.

• The wet spring proved disastrous for local farmers. Some berry farmers gave up hope of salvaging anything of their crops, while dairy farmers helplessly watched their hay rotting in the fields.

Fifty Years Ago

Twenty Years Ago

June 23, 1993

• It was up to teachers to make the final decision: they could sign a contract offering a 3.5 per cent wage hike phased in over two years, but that settlement would cost teachers up to 45 lay-offs.

In the end, they ratified the agreement overwhelmingly.

• City Councillor Weir Muir was unable to obtain a seconder for a motion of censure against Mayor Joe Lopushinsky, but his colleagues agreed that the mayor had seriously erred in withholding information from them regarding provincial authorities’ reasons for denying Langley City its own police detachment. Coun. Jack Arnold expressed annoyance that, as chair of the City’s police committee, not even he had been informed of the mayor’s decision to hold the press conference during which Lopushinsky announced his belief of a high-level provincial/ RCMP conspiracy against the City. He sent the media information packages, including letters he had had for four months, which he had not yet disclosed to council. Lopushinsky had decided councillors couldn’t be trusted with sensitive material.

Ten Years Ago

June 27, 1963

• Langley and Fort Langley old-timers squared off on the baseball diamond in Fort Langley Community Park. The home team got the better of it, downing Langley 11-5.
