An ornamental bronze plaque has been stolen off a Langley cenotaph honouring soldiers who died in the First and Second World Wars. The plaque, which shows crossed rifles and a First World War-style soldier’s helmet, was first reported missing on Sept. 4, by staff at Murrayville Cemetery. Township of Langley Cemetery Supervisor Kevin Bunnett said the family of a veteran was visiting the cemetery in preparation for a burial. He turned to show them the cenotaph, and noticed the decorative bronze was missing. “It is disrespectful, big time,” Bunnett said of the theft, adding that there have been very few problems with theft or vandalism at the Murrayville Cemetery. Located at 21405 44 Ave., the graveyard is surrounded by “good neighbours” who are conscientious about reporting problems to the Township or the Langley RCMP, “It is disrespectful, big he said. However, time.” the cemetery Kevin Bunnett is also largely surrounded by trees and is somewhat isolated from the view of most nearby homes. The cenotaph is located at the far southwestern end of the cemetery, which slopes gently down towards the lip of the escarpment above the Nicomekl flood plain. The sizeable stone cenotaph is one of two built in the years following the First World War. Veterans of that conflict returned to Langley, but left many of their friends and neighbours on battlefields in France and Belgium. The cenotaphs were built in Fort Langley, and in Murrayville, in what was then known as the Langley Prairie Cemetery. Another granite plinth was later added to the cenotaph naming local men who died in the Second World War. Over the years, Royal Canadian Legion branches in Langley City and Aldergrove also built their own cenotaphs. More names were added to the two original cenotaphs after the Second World War and Korean War. Every Remembrance Day, Nov. 11, major ceremonies are held in Langley City, Aldergrove, and at the Fort Langley Cemetery’s cenotaph. Murrayville’s is the only cenotaph in Langley without an official ceremony of remembrance, but on most years half a dozen to a dozen individuals will gather spontaneously, observe a moment of silence at 11 a.m., and place poppies on the marker. Bunnett said several wreaths are placed there each year. This is not the first time one of the memor-

Kevin Bunnett, the Township’s cemetery supervisor, has already ordered a new bronze decoration for the cenotaph. The crossed rifles and soldier’s helmet was pried out sometime earlier this month.

ials has been vandalized. The Fort’s cenotaph had its metal plaques stolen several years ago, and the Murrayville marker was used as a model to craft the replacements. Because the two cenotaphs were matched, the plaques are identical. Fort Langley’s Brenda Alberts was one of the co-founders of the Fort’s renewed Remembrance Day ceremonies. She was shocked to hear of the new thefts. “That is just disgusting,” she said. Alberts remembered when the Fort’s cenotaph was vandalized. It took about a year to get the replacement bronze. Bunnett has been in touch with Fred Pepin of the Langley Heritage Society, and they have the molds from the last time one of the decorations needed to be replaced.

“I’ve given them the go ahead to make a new one,” said Bunnett. There is no estimated cost yet for that process. The cemetery staff would still prefer to recover the plaque intact, if it hasn’t already been melted down for scrap. “We’d like to find it, and ask that anyone with information leading to it to call the Langley RCMP,” Bunnett said. A recent similar theft in Surrey took place at another cemetery, where bronze flower vases were stolen off a number of graves. Of those taken, about 28 were recovered from a metal dealer. Surrey RCMP said a Langley woman was a person of interest in that case. The RCMP can be contacted at 604-5323200, or to remain anonymous, people can call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Carolyn Dixon walked with a heavy heart Sunday morning. The Murrayville resident was among many who wrote on a tribute poster laid out on a table at the Terry Rox Run, that started and finished at Douglas Park Sept. 15. Her words: “In Honour of our son Andrew, always ‘ride on.’ Carolyn, Tom.” Andrew Dixon, an avid cyclist, died from a rare form of sinus cancer on June 21. He was 35 and is survived by his family that includes his two young children. Carolyn wore her son’s cycling jersey during her walk, because, she said, “he couldn’t.” Andrew rode in the Ride To Conquer Cancer benefiting the BC Cancer Foundation in 2009 and 2011. He registered for this year’s ride held June 15-16 but wasn’t able to take part because he was in hospice care. “His friends all rode for him,” Carolyn said. “So I’m wearing the jersey that he couldn’t wear.”

Carolyn Dixon (foreground, yellow jersey) wrote on a poster in memory of her son Andrew, who lost his battle with cancer on June 21 of this year. Dixon was among those who participated in Sunday morning’s Terry Fox Run that started and finished at Douglas Park. Leading up to the ride, Andrew wrote on his sponsorship page: “I have first hand experience with the treatment and support services offered through the BC Cancer Agency with funding coming from the BC Cancer Foundation.” Asked how emotional this year’s Terry Fox Run is for her, Carolyn answered, “Extremely.”

Leaders can’t take the heat

School children heading off to Victoria on field trips will be able to see plenty of interesting sights this year. There’s the Royal B.C. Museum, the historic architecture, the scenic harbour. What they won’t get to see is this province’s MLAs debating in the Legislature. Premier Christy Clark has framed her decision to cancel any fall sitting in an odd way. She’s suggesting that instead of closing her government off in Victoria and imposing legislation from there, the Liberals will be more open by consulting with British Columbians. Whether this will amount to any real interaction, or will be a Scan series of staged photo ops and with supporter-packed town halls remains to be seen. But we can already say what won’t happen: there won’t be any question period. There won’t be any debate with the other MLAs elected by British Columbians, the NDP and Green ones. There won’t be any chance for new regulations to be aired out and amended. In Ottawa, PM Stephen Harper has also cut the days the Parliament will sit, although he didn’t have the audacity to say “See you next spring.” Politicians need to be held to account at all times. The Liberals in B.C. can be justifiably proud of their come-from-behind election win this spring. Nobody, apart from maybe Rich Coleman, saw it coming. But while it was a convincing win, it wasn’t a crushing landslide of a victory, either. Plenty of people still wanted the province to go another way, and while they didn’t amount to a majority, it’s not a good idea to ignore them, either. Maybe the Liberals will consult with the public. But they need to be accountable in every forum available. Question period and a full sitting of the legislature are among those mechanisms of accountability. It’s wrong to write it off as Ms. Clark has done. – M.C.

Odd Thoughts

Licence accountable cyclists

Dear Editor, Bob Groeneveld [Add cycling to cycle of learning, July 30 Odd Thoughts, Langley Advance] states that he wishes there were more cyclists to combat the stupidest, most oblivious creatures populating the face of the earth: the texting driver. While I agree they are stupid, the laws need to be enforced for motorists as well as cyclists. I often see cyclists do the most stupid things, on the sidewalk, on the cell, no helmet, not stopping for pedestrians or lights, etc. Yes, it is more dangerous in a car, but who is to blame when my fellow cyclists flaunt the laws, flip someone the bird and continue on their merry way? Cyclists should have licenses issued them for a nominal fee, so there is some accountability when they break the law. How do you call 311 and complain when the only description is of the cyclist themselves? Council should spend money on enforcing the rules, which they would quickly recoup from ignorant drivers and cyclists alike. Anthony Dell’Orto, Vancouver

poor, disabled, or disadvantaged, it is your fault; suck it up and stop complaining.” Our small segment of voters hold no interest for those in power. The average person on disability benefits gets $951.42 a month to live on. Some time around eight years ago we got a raise of $50 a month. It sure is a good thing the cost of living has not gone up since then, eh? We are allowed to earn up to $800 a month before they start clawing back. Have you tried to find a job, especially if you have barriers to working, in this economy? The elected dictatorship we live under seems only concerned with what they can do for their friends and supporters. The bloated salaries of the public sector workers and the politicians they work under could be cut back, and the excesses used to fund much-needed help in social programs, health care, and education.

Not being a fan of unionization, I cannot dismiss the strength of unity when it comes to wage negotiations. If Mr. Bateman thinks $22.80 an hour for a parks maintenance position is excessive, perhaps he should try to purchase a house, educate a child, or purchase, insure, and fuel a vehicle on that wage. I think the federation has bigger fish to concern themselves with than the municipal wage rates, for instance the transfer of billions of dollars out of Canada without being taxed comes to mind.

The Langley RCMP have arrested a suspect in the strange incident earlier this month, in which a man was found hiding in a senior’s apartment. Liban Mohamud Shire, a 22-year-old with no fixed address, has been arrested and charged with break and enter and unlawful confinement for the Sept. 5 incident, said Cpl. Holly Marks, the spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. Police believe Shire is the man who climbed into the second-storey apartment, in the 5800 block of Glover Road during the early morning. The 87-year-old resident was getting

ready for bed when she found the man hiding in her home. He knocked her to the ground, then told her he just wanted food and helped her up and into her bedroom. From there, she grabbed and activated the emergency alarm. The man fled over the balcony. The victim wasn’t hurt in her fall, but was slightly injured when she yanked on the emergency cord. A forensic team checked the balcony for evidence and police said they quickly determined a suspect. Shire was held in custody after his arrest and has appeared several times in Surrey provincial court. He is also wanted on arrest warrants in Saskatchewan for possession of stolen property, unlawful confinement, and robbery, said Marks.

Elizabeth Toth and her brother Everett (bottom) threw hay around with their pal Darius Edwards (right) on Sunday, the final day of the Country Celebration held Sept. 14-15 at Campbell Valley Regional Park.

Master juggler Mike Battie was the picture of focus as he twirled “flaming devil sticks” on the Country Celebration stage.

Community event

Celebration brings smiles Story and photos by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

A two-day festival in south Langley escaped raindrops over the weekend. Even so, a blanket of cloud was the suspected reason why attendance was down from previous years at the annual Country Celebration at Campbell Valley Regional Park. There were an estimated 3,000 visitors to the fair Saturday and roughly the same number Sunday. This marked the fifth year that Jeremy Plotkin, who coordinates community

events for Metro Vancouver Parks, has organized the celebration. “I’m still learning the ropes,” he said. “Everybody that I’ve talked to has really enjoyed themselves, and had a great time,” Plotkin told the Langley Advance Sunday afternoon. Plotkin called the event, now in its 35th year, “an old time country fair that’s really community based and community driven. We’ve got lots of animals for the kids to see and lots of activities for the kids to do with face-painting, kite making, and Nylon Zoo storytelling.”

Little ones had a blast in the Nylon Zoo area. The choreographed participatory event gave children the opportunity to fly like a bird, hop as a frog or rabbit, twirl in a rainbow cape, or swim like a fish.

Standing behind a carton-full of mini peppers, Mike Bryant had his hands full with produce and a potted plant.

Stilt-walkin’ cowboys from Public Dreams Society were a big draw for kids.

Rachel Steinke, four, ran with her hand-made kite in tow. Two-and-a-half-year-old Ryder Taylor collected milk that he squeezed from artificial dairy cow teats.

Langley resident and police Const. Jack Stetz spent the summer travelling with the RCMP Musical Ride – the B.C. leg that started July 11 in Fort St. John and finished in Hope in early September. He was also invited to stay on a few extra days and help with a flood-relief benefit show in High River, Alta. While he’s known of the musical ride since age eight, Stetz said he’s never aspired to be a mounted member. But he did describe this summer’s travels as the highlight of his career with the RCMP.

Hospital

Auxiliary efforts vital to LMH gift shop expansion Every dollar the hospital store brings in helps support patient care in Langley. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley Memorial Hospital’s gift shop has been given a much-needed face lift, and volunteers there hope it will bring in more money to help patients. The Langley Memorial Hospital Auxiliary has funded a renovation of the gift shop, which it has run for decades. Joan Brown oversees the all-volunteer group that staffs the gift shop. “I’ve been here 13 years,” said Brown. In that time, the gift shop has been in pretty much the same state. Brown started thinking about whether it was time to do some painting and maybe do something about the floors. That idea evolved into a plan to renovate the whole shop, increase its floor space, and bring in new types of merchandise. “It’s been 100 per cent funded by the auxiliary,” Brown said the renovation. The gift shop now extends out a little further into the hospital’s atrium, and is about 35 per cent larger than the old space. The volunteers, mostly retired seniors, won’t have to push racks of clothing and magazines in and out every time they open and close up; the shop will now be completely enclosed. Ingrid Finnigan, who manages volunteer resources for Langley Memorial, said one of the aims of the renovation is to sell new items and increase their appeal to the staff at the hospital. Clothing and other high-end items are to be added. “The staff are our best customers,” said Brown. While they’ll still sell magazines, snacks, stuffed animals, and cards to those visiting patients, the nurses, doctors, and technicians of hospitals are always stopping off to pick up something, Finnigan said. After working 12-hour shifts, many staff members are happy to be able to pick up something in the gift shop, rather than driving to a mall. The shop was closed from June to the end of August for the renovations, but everything came in on schedule. Brown and Finnigan also hope to double the number of volunteers they have working in the shop. The auxiliary goes back to 1947, the year before the hospital would open its doors. It would begin by sewing sheets, pillow cases, and cloth diapers for the soon-toopen building. The modern version does less sewing, but still contributes every year through raising money. Twice a year they supply items for patient care off a “wish list.” To sign up as an auxiliary volunteer, contact the group at 604-514-6161 or via email at auxiliary.lmh@fraserhealth.ca. The auxiliary also operates the Penny Pincher Thrift Store in Langley City.

Mayor runs in Walnut Grove fundraiser …continued from page A3

Turner said she has been touched by cancer, with family members battling the disease. In Langley City, participants ran, walked, cycled, and travelled in buggies along one-, five- and 10-kilometre routes, starting from Douglas Park at 10 a.m. Organizers of the City fundraiser thanked volunteers and called the event, which generated close to $9,000, a great success. “Everyone had a great time. We wanted to raise money and we wanted to salute Terry’s epic Marathon of Hope. We wanted to celebrate a true Canadian hero, and we did!” said Lilianne Fuller, the 2013 chair of the Langley City volunteer committee. There were 262 registered participants. And at the run site in Douglas Park, visitors were invited to enjoy the festival atmosphere and have fun. Volunteers were in abundance, as well. “A total of 58 volunteers came together to make the event a great success. Considering some runs

were cancelled due to a lack of volunteers, we consider ourselves blessed,” Fuller said. “Langley truly is a volunteer hub.” Plans are already underway for next year’s run. Walnut Grove participants, including Township Mayor Jack Froese and former Township councillor Howie Vickberg, started their run/

walk/ride from the Walnut Grove Community Centre an hour earlier. “We feel it’s a great event for the community,” Turner said. “[The] Terry Fox [Foundation] does a great job of supporting the event as well. This is just an easy project for us to take on and help out the community, and help promote awareness about Terry Fox and his cause.”

Looking back…

1973: Little joy for ALR Forty Years Ago

September 6, 1973

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

September 7, 1933

• Local Conservative MLA J.W. Berry announced he would run as an independent in the Nov. 2 provincial election, after his Conservative Party indicated it would not ﬁeld a candidate locally. Seventy Years Ago

September 9, 1943

• A coroner’s jury ruled that the death of a brakeman in a Fort Langley train derailment was accidental, despite speculation that the open switch that had caused the crash may have been the result of sabotage. • R.R. Brunt and E.J. Wilson were to head a committee to look into getting a swimming pool built in Langley. Sixty Years Ago

September 10, 1953

• The Langley Agricultural Association predicted that the annual fall fair would raise $500 if the weather was good, or lose that much if it wasn’t. Fifty Years Ago

September 12, 1963

• School trustee Stan Taylor was appointed area representative for Rotary District 504. His area covered the Fraser Valley from Langley to Hope.

Tuesday, September 17, 2013

• The provincial NDP government’s new Agricultural Land Reserve was roundly criticized by most of the 200 landowners who showed up at Langley Secondary School to view maps of the system. • Crowded classrooms forced four Langley secondary school onto shifts, and some of the school district’s kindergarten classes were to be held in church halls.

Thirty Years Ago

September 7, 1983

• Langley School Board received less than $500,000 after submitting capital funding requests totalling $6 million from the Ministry of Education. Furthermore, local ofﬁcials were perplexed that much of the money that they did receive was for a program they had not requested, and it was not transferable to areas they considered more urgent.

Twenty Years Ago

September 8, 1993

• PNE ofﬁcials and the St. John Ambulance honoured Robert Pinette of Langley for his role in saving the life of a woman who was choking on food at the fair. • A survey of 9,075 Langley City residents indicated that new recreation facilities were needed – but not if they were going to cost any money.

• Prime Minister Kim Campbell called a federal election for Oct. 25. Candidates already in the Fraser Valley West line-up included: Ed Vanwoudenberg, Christian Heritage Party; Peter Warkentin, Liberal; Lynn Fairall, New Democratic Party; Robert Billyard, National Party; Don Nundal, Progressive Conservative; and Randy White, Reform. Candidates in Surrey-White Rock-South Langley were: Heather Stilwell, CHP; Gordon Hogg, Liberal; Mota Singh Jeeta, NDP; Carolyn Goertzen, NP; Norm Blain, PC; and Val Meredith, Reform. • Parolee Wayne Alexander Perkins was on trial for second degree murder in the death of Angela Richards.

Ten Years Ago

September 9, 2003

• As many as 100,000 spectators were estimated to have converged on Langley City’s downtown core for the seventh annual Langley Good Times Cruise-in. • A second batch of local firefighters were sent to B.C.’s Interior to help battle the worst wildfires in recent memory.

YOUR GUIDE TO HEALTHY LIVING IN LANGLEY...

Fundraising

Out and a boot Township firefighters do their part to help fight muscular dystrophy.

hen the boots come out this weekend, Langley Township firefighters will be asking people to give what they can. On Friday and Saturday, firefighters from all seven Township firehalls will be out in the community, boots in hand, to collect donations for the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada. The boot drive is held each year to raise funds to

fight muscular dystrophy, a neuromuscular disorder that weakens and wastes away the muscles that control body movement. On Friday evening and all day Saturday, fire crews will be in each Township community, in grocery stores, pubs, restaurants, coffee shops, and at the Langley Events Centre, to encourage the public to help improve quality of life for those living with neuromuscular disorders. Funds raised will help purchase mobility equipment, provide support services, and fund research which will one day lead to a cure to MS.

Daren DeJesus, Craig Teichrieb. captain Peter Taylor, and Scott Dunsmore were among the Township of Langley firefighters who collected funds to fight Muscular Dystrophy last year. This year’s boot drive takes place Friday and Saturday around the community.

Weekend event

Greyson rally continues A farm day fundraiser is happening Sunday.

by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

t almost two months old, Greyson O’Neill is weighing in at four pounds, eight ounces, has come through heart surgery like a trooper, is breathing room air – although still with the assistance of a ventilation system to keep his lungs strong – and had his first bath a few days back. This Langley baby made the news when he was born 15 weeks premature and his low-income parents – with limited transportation options – found themselves trying to shuttle back and forth to Vancouver daily to be with their newborn [Premie’s parents reach out to help other families, Aug. 6, Langley Advance]. From their own Greyson, almost two months old, experience, they discovreceived his first bath last week. ered there were a lot of other parents who were facing financial hardships while taking care of their sick children in hospital. That’s when Greyson’s parents, Erin Heard and James O’Neill, decided they wanted to help out others. While friends and family held a fundraising pub night earlier this month to aid the local couple in covering unexpected expenses due to Greyson’s hospitalization, they are hoping a fundraiser planned in Aldergrove this weekend will raise money to help other parents at BC Children’s Hospital facing similar hardships. This weekend’s event, called a Family Fun Farm Day, is being held Sunday, Sept. 22, from 2 to 10 p.m. at Extreme Equestrian, 25039 8th Ave. in Aldergrove. Everything is by donation, O’Neill said, from admission (they’re asking people to bring a baby donation for the Langley Food Bank) to the horse and pony rides. The day also features karaoke from 2 to 5 p.m., a pig roast, petting zoo, live entertainment, archery demonstrations, and a silent auction. O’Neill is hoping to raise a few thousand dollars, wanting to make a donation to BC Children’s Hospital in Greyson’s name, as well as to help out a 17-yearold single mom and her baby who are at the hospital. Greyson has since been moved to Surrey Memorial Hospital, where doctors say he will remain under 24hour monitoring until at least November. He still has under-developed lungs and retinas. People can follow Greyson’s progress and the fundraising efforts on Facebook, at Greyson’s Page.

Before the lightning, thunder, and rain moved over the field, girls waited for their soccer session to begin. The Langley United Soccer Association U5 parents and tots program will be held for the next seven Sundays with two sessions: 4-4:45 p.m. and 5-5:45 p.m at Willoughby Community Park.

Little ones got their first taste of the “beautiful game” Sunday at Willoughby Community Park. The Langley United Soccer Association’s U5 parents and tots program kicked off Sept. 15 and will be held on Sundays starting at 4 p.m. It features eight sessions. “Our main goal with the young ones is to ensure this first experience is positive by making it very fun and as fear free as possible,” LUSA president Dave Kasper said. “If there’s no fear, the child can have a great first experience and develop a life-long love and appreciation of soccer, physical activity, and every other sport they may try. That is Langley United’s objective with young new players and our commitment to parents.” For more on the program email info@luysa.com.

WBC Canadian champions crowned at Coast by Troy Landreville

sports@langleyadvance.com

By all accounts, the WBC Canadian championships was a hit. Friday’s amateur boxing extravaganza at the Coast Hotel ballroom was a sell out with what organizer Dave Allison from Langley City Boxing described as an “enthusiastic crowd.” “In terms of the fights, the show was great with 10 well matched fights full of excitement,” Allison said. “All aspects of the event was just great and the WBC brand name was a hit.” Roughly 500 boxing fans saw a competition billed as the “best of the east fighting the best from western Canada.”

The Rivermen, 2-0-1, will play their lone home game of September this Friday (Sept. 20) when they host the Coquitlam Express at the Langley Events Centre. Game time is 7:15 p.m. The Express has won two straight after losing its season opener to the Merritt Centennials. The next night (Saturday, Sept. 21), the Rivermen travel to Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre to take on the Express in the second game of their home and home series. The Rivermen close out September with games in Powell River versus the Kings Sept. 27, Port Alberni against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Sept. 28, and Nanaimo versus the Clippers Sept. 29.

In the heavyweight division, two fighters from the east tangled, with Bobby Sullivan defeating Sam Amro, who could not recover from a liver shot. The women were in action and the east and west split on this one. Super featherweight Nicole Powankumar from the east defeated Kait Robinson of the west in a hard-fought bout. The lightweight contest saw two experienced women square off. Mandy Taylor, who comes from a boxing family, represented the east and Jen Yagar was fighting for team west. It was a very close fight and the judges could not agree. The resulting split decision went to Yager. “It was a solid boxing match and the kind of match that shows how far women have evolved in the sport of boxing,” Allison said.

from Sept. 9

The event showed an enthusiastic group of boxers who are fully committed to the WBC amateur system, opined Allison, president of Combsport (British Columbia Combative Sports Association) “It is apparent that the only thing that separates the WBC from being the leader in amateur boxing is time and exposure,” he added. “It is simply a matter of getting back to the culture of boxing and away from the sterile atmosphere of IABA boxing. The attempt of IABA to enter the pros and try and make their brand of boxing exciting will unlikely work. They simply don’t get it.” Combsport, which hosted the event, has a T-shirt that reads “you don’t play boxing,” “The IABA brain trust may want think about those words,” Allison said. “Boxing is back and the WBC is now on the scene in amateur boxing.”
