Karen Cryer admittedly isn’t a great skater, but she loves to pedal. This is why the avid cyclist leaves the ice hockey portion of Cops for Cancer fundraising to the weekend warriors who have the ability to balance themselves on narrow blades of steel. Donations made to the Canadian Cancer Society through Cops for Cancer are used to fund life-saving research and caring support programs to reduce cancer’s impact on children and their family. Cryer was an organizer of Saturday afternoon’s Guns and Hoses charity hockey game benefiting Cops For Cancer. The third annual game at the Langley Events Centre pitted law enforcement personnel against firefighters, and this year featured a rubber match, with the teams splitting victories the first two years the charity game has taken place. The firefighters won the inaugural game, and the RCMP squad grabbed the victory last year. “We’ve got a trophy that we give out, so it’s a tiebreaker for this year,” Cryer said prior to the game. On Saturday, the “Hoses” (a.k.a. firefighters) outscored the “Guns” 8-6 to win the trophy, and bragging rights. The game raised more roughly $2,500, surpassing last year’s total of just under $2,000. The event was promoted through media and through Facebook, Twitter, emails, and word of mouth. Meanwhile, several in law enforcement raise funds on the seat of a bike each year. In late September and into early October, Cryer, who has been an RCMP member for eight years, does her part for the cause by participating in the for Cops For Cancer Tour de Valley, a nine-day journey to as far away as Boston Bar. The trip spans more than 800 kilometres in total. “It averages to about 100 kilometres a day,” said Cryer, who was on the support crew for the 2013 Ride. “Last year we had about nine days of rain, so we’re hoping for a little bit less this year.” The cycling convoy consists of law enforcement and emergency services personnel. Cryer, who chairs the Tour de Valley committee, has a personal connection with cancer – her dad Thomas passed away from colon cancer in 1996. This year’s journey had the cyclists ride from Aldergrove to Boston Bar, then south to Tsawwassen and White Rock. “It’s an amazing experience every year,” Cryer said. “You meet so many different people and it’s a great cause to raise money for, as well. We have junior team members and basically, we raise money for them. A lot of people say that police and firefighters are heroes but for us, it’s the kids who are heroes. That’s why we do it.”

New Year’s Baby
Oh, baby! Meet Langley’s first child of 2014 A local couple welcomed their daughter at LMH on Jan. 1. by Troy Landreville
sports@langleyadvance.com
The first baby born at Langley Memorial Hospital in 2014 also happens to be the first to come into the world in the Fraser Valley this year. Sunny and Jasmine Sandher, both 28, welcomed their daughter Nile at 12:55 a.m. Jan. 1. Nile, who weighed seven pounds, six ounces at birth, is the couple’s first child. She was the first baby born in the 12 hospitals operating under Fraser Health Authority (eight have maternity wards). “We weren’t banking on it,” Jasmine said, referring to having Langley’s New Year’s Baby. “We didn’t even think it was a possibility. We even still, to the last minute, thought it was going to be a 2013 baby.” It was a busy morning at

Langley Memorial. From midnight to noon, three babies, including Nile, were born. With a due date of Dec. 23, Nile could have been a Christmas baby, but she had other plans. Nile being born on the first day of the new year turned out to be a windfall for one of Sunny’s friends. The couple’s family and friends created a “baby pool” with roughly $400 in the pot. All involved put $20 into the pool, and chose a day in which they believed Nile was going to be born. “Every day was exciting for everyone,” Sunny said. The labour “started out okay but ended up being really long,” Jasmine shared. “They were thinking about doing a c-section at the end, because it just wasn’t happening,” she said. The couple credited the work of one particular nurse at LMH who, Jasmine said, “totally turned things around” and allowed her to have a natural childbirth.
During labour, there were some tense moments. “When they were bringing up all of the complications during labour, all I could think of, ‘Was it going to be a healthy baby?’” Sunny said. Having a healthy daughter is “huge” he said early Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 1.

Sunny and Jasmine were hoping for a girl. They didn’t bother to pick out a boy’s name for their new addition, during the nine months leading up to Nile’s arrival. “It didn’t matter at the end of the day, but… we always thought we’d have a girl,” Jasmine said.

Medications and attempts to stimulate her appetite were not successful. Sweetie was born at the zoo and was 18 years old.

Family’s grief fuels new charity foundation
Austin Kingsborough’s family is honouring the teen’s memory. by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
Austin Kingsborough was only a teenager when he died but he had already come to be known for his love of sports and his kindness to others. He and a friend, Brendan Wilson, drowned in Nicola Lake near Merritt in April 2013. Kingsborough’s family has decided the best way to honour his memory is helping others. “We are doing this in Austin’s memory because Austin was a thoughtful, passionate teenager who took the time to help others, for example, one time at a hockey tournament he bought a homeless man a meal without hesitation,” said his mom, Kelly. AK94 is the foundation bearing Austin’s initials and year of birth. “We choose which causes to help based on what Austin cared about in the
community,” Kelly said. Austin loved sports. He was an avid hockey player – ice and ball – and served as captain and assistant captain of his teams. His dream was to represent Canada at the World Junior Ball Hockey Championship in the Czech Republic as a member of Junior Team Canada. The foundation will help others in sports as well as a variety of community causes. “We are paying it forward in the name of Austin. I know this is something he would be so proud of. It’s also about fun in raising the funds for associations as Austin had the best sense of humor and one of the best laughs,” his mom said. The foundation was created after a couple months of planning and is in the process of registering as a society. “Through our AK94 Memorial Facebook page we raised approximately $200 worth of food, diapers, etc. and also $70 in cash,” said board member Rob Christl.

It’s not too late to battle the flu
This flu season’s prevalent strain is particularly nasty, already having sent a number of people to intensive care. It’s also unusual in that it seems to be hitting younger people hardest. The good news is that, although the season has clearly got started already, it’s not too late to get vaccinated. There have been reports of vaccine shortages in other parts of Canada, but the BC Centre for Disease Control notes that there still is plenty of vaccine available in this province. BC Children’s Hospital notes that children are more apt to get sick from illnesses such as influenza and norovirus, and reminds parents that healthy children six months to less than five years of age are now eligible for free flu shots, as are older children with many chronic medical conditions and who have household members at high risk or under the age of two years. There are other measures suggested by both BC Children’s and the BCCDC to help avoid catching the bug, too. As 80 per cent of common infections are spread by hands, frequent washing is a good idea. Children should wash their hands with soap and water, scrubbing for about the time it takes to sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star plus a little more, before eating, after using the washroom, after sneezing, coughing, or using a tissue, and after playing with toys shared with other children. Teach children to sneeze or cough into the crook of the arm rather than their hands. Children and the people who care for them should stay home when sick, especially if they have a fever. Also, don’t visit grandparents or other elderly people if you or your child is sick; older people are prone to suffer more severe symptoms from illness. Encourage kids NOT to share cups or toys or anything that they might put in their mouths. And call 811 for more information about health concerns. – B.G.

Care demands outweigh fines
Dear Editor, My husband has a camper parked on our driveway. My husband also has Alzheimer’s Disease. I am his caregiver, wife, and handler of everything. I can not drive the camper. I have been thrown into the driver’s seat because of his Alzheimer’s and am not comfortable driving. This camper has been parked there for more than five years. Same place. I was led to understand that the bylaw would not be enforced unless a close neighbour complained. I do not know when the bylaw was enacted, but is it not possible his camper is grandfathered in?
I have a lot of responsibilities to deal with that are immediate and very important. My husband cannot be left alone. I have four hours a week Editor to do the grocery shopping, banking, and all the other running around entailed with handling a household. During those four hours I am supposed to refresh myself, so I can continue to take care of him. The camper is staying where it is until I have a plan of how to get it moved. Fine him if you must, but that just adds to my responsibilities. Lorraine Hubbs, Aldergrove

Dear Editor, Lock the doors, hide the children in the basement, fortify your home, rally the troops: there has been an at-sea collision between a LNG carrier and a container (boxship) carrier and disaster is impending. The environment is doomed, as is all life in the sea. But wait! Online photos clearly show the effectiveness of the the double-hulled LNG carrier. Perhaps a visual will wake up the LNG naysayers to reality. All is not lost. An accident, if it happens on the B.C. coast, LNG or oil, will be self-contained within the ship’s hull, negating the disaster scenario. Terry Brenan, Aldergrove
Army and Navy entrance now, and yet the City has approved a drive-thru that will enter Tim’s off that road. Tim’s exiting drive-thru traffic will then route east on Douglas Crescent, passing Langley City Hall, and bottleneck at the 204th Street traffic light at the old City post office building. One needs not write or say anything further about this common sense subject, except that City hall staff will have prime seats to observe (yet another) one of their bad traffic-flow choices. Further, they might ponder the fact that drive-thru restaurant traffic problems are in the news right across this country now, and yet this matter has gone right over their heads. James Charles, Langley

Coulter Berry
Debate sign of healthy community Dear Editor, As the new year begins, the Coulter Berry building in Fort Langley remains stalled. Given how long ago the former IGA burned down and how long the lot has since stood vacant, it’s understandable that townspeople’s patience should begin to run thin. However, just as the degree of interest generated by the project might be viewed by some as tiresome, when you consider its opposite – apathy – the animated debate could also be taken as a healthy sign of a whole-heartedly engaged community. Debates of the kind that we’re witnessing over Coulter Berry are only possible in communities in which its inhabitants view themselves as having a personal stake in their landscapes, their places of dwelling. Only when people have a sense of belonging to a place do they have a greater sense of personal responsibility for shaping its continual evolution. A business owner and a resident each hold different modes of belonging to a place, but both are equally valid. And as we’ve seen, not all business owners share the same perspective, nor all residents. I find myself feeling cheered that a group of people who felt strongly about an aspect of the project organized itself and succeeded in stopping something that I suspect many people of Fort Langley (regardless of on
which side they stood) believed was already a done deal. And before all the vocal supporters of the Coulter Berry building raise a cry of protest, let me say to them: I’m cheered by you, too. Because, in the end, insofar as we all care about how our town evolves and are prepared to say so, we’re on the same side. What’s important to me is that I live in a place in which other people are emotionally invested, a place where others are prepared to dig in and stand up for what they value while respecting other community members’ right to do the same. Often, we may not agree. But it’s those very differences that provoke deeper thought on what we want and why. Indeed, the continued debate over the Coulter Berry building is an important act of place-making – not just as a colourful story of a landmark’s unfolding to be added to the pages of Fort Langley’s history books, but as an act of belonging, of claiming our collective agency in the continual task of shaping a community worth caring about.

Ta-daa 1st Willoughby Scouting Group members including (left to right) Agnus O, Joey Rizzuto, and Griffin Boutilier held a Christmas tree chipping and bottle drive event at Willoughby Elementary on Saturday. It was the second of two such fundraisers, with the first one taking place Dec. 28. The group accepted donations for both drop off and pick up services for Willoughby residents. There were more Troy Landreville/Langley Advance than 350 trees chipped during the two weekends. The Township of Langley supplied a tree chipper and arranged to have employees volunteer their time for the two fundraisers. Funds raised will be used towards camps, outdoor activities, badges, equipment purchases, and supplies. 1st Willoughby Scouting Group accepts year-round registrations for girls and boys ages five and up.

Stealth drop season opener to host Mammoth
Vancouver hosts its home debut Saturday at the Langley Events Centre.
Langley’s pro lacrosse team came up empty-handed in its season debut Saturday night in Colorado. The Vancouver Stealth fell 13-12 to the Colorado Mammoth to drop to 0-1 in their National Lacrosse League season. The Mammoth, cheered on by a sellout crowd at Colorado’s Pepsi Centre, evened its record to 1-1 on the year. “There’s a lot of one goal games in this league and the team that weathers the momentum storms and doesn’t make those fundamental mistakes usually end up on top,” Stealth head coach Chris Hall said, on the team’s website. “In the final minutes we made a number of those fundamental errors that ended up costing us.” The Stealth led 8-5 at one point in the third quarter, but saw the lead slip away. In his NLL debut, Vancouver’s Tyler Digby finished with three goals and six points in a losing cause. Alex Gajic scored his first NLL goal since 2011 and finished the game with a game high eight points (including seven assists). Rhys Duch scored scored four
goals and added two assists. The Stealth will play their first ever home game in franchise history this Saturday, Jan. 11, when they host the Minnesota Swarm at the Langley Events Centre. Game time is 7 p.m. For ticket information visit www.StealthLAX.com.
Eagles win in Abby
The Langley atom A4 Eagles are three-for-three when it comes to recent tournament play. The high-flying Eagles continued their impressive run of tourney victories by capturing their third consecutive championship, this time at the Abbotsford atom rep tournament that ran Dec 27-29. Langley got off to a slow start, falling 5-0 to Abbotsford A3 Hawks before bouncing back with a gritty 6-5 win over the Portland Jr. A Hawks on Dec. 27. The following day, the Eagles downed Aldergrove A1 7-2 and the Cowichan Capitals 6-1. The local atoms finished second in round-robin play, and faced Portland again in the semifinals. Late in the second period of that game, the Eagles trailed by three, 4-1, but rallied in a big way by out-scoring the Americans 6-1 the rest of the way to win 7-5. This win vaulted the Eagles into the final, where they faced the undefeated Abbotsford A3s. With only a short break between
the games, the Eagles found extra energy, and played a strong allaround game to blank the host team 4-0 to be crowned Tier 3 champions. “The kids battled hard against Portland, and showed great determination to fight back from a three-goal deficit. They never gave up and played as a strong cohesive team that has trust in each other. The boys carried their momentum into the final to take home gold,” Eagles head coach Gary Bowsher said. “Winning three tournaments in a row is definitely an impressive record.”

The Dusters are Ryan Barthelson, Tyson Brown Cameron Eggertson, Austin Fadear, Callum Farish-Barker, Jaden Goertzen, Liam Hadley, Jake Harper, Kristian Lyon, Katherine May, Spencer McKissock, Conner Morison, Caleb Pearson, Cameron Ross, and Alan GuoLong Zhong.

Dusters win gold
Sockeyes edge Kodiaks
The Langley Dusters bantam C hockey team won all seven of its games, played over a four-day period, to take home gold from the Richmond Bantam/Midget Hockey Tournament. The tourney was held Dec. 2023 at the Richmond Ice Centre. The Dusters’ wins included: Friday, Dec. 20: 7-4 over Chilliwack; Saturday, Dec. 21: 7-3 over North Delta; Sunday, Dec. 22: 7-1 over Ridge Meadows; and 13-2 over Surrey. Monday Dec. 23: 8-0 over Aldergrove and 5-2 over Seafair. Seafair presented the Dusters’ toughest test, as this team beat another Langley squad at a tournament in Seattle to win gold back in November. The Dusters finished the tournament by doubling Richmond 6-3 in
Thursday’s game at Richmond Arena was a showdown between two heavyweights in the Pacific Junior Hockey League. And the Richmond Sockeyes came out the victor. A goal from Liam Lawson with 8:12 to go in regulation snapped a 1-1 tie and lifted the Sockeyes to a 2-1 win over the visiting Aldergrove Kodiaks. The Sockeyes won their 10th consecutive game and upped their record to 21-4-3-2 while the Kodiaks fell to 24-5-2-1. Even with the loss, the Kodiaks continue to lead the PJHL’s Harold Brittain Conference by a wide margin over the second place Abbotsford Pilots, and are three points clear of the Tom Shaw Conference-leading North Vancouver Wolf Pack for top spot in the PJHL.
Richmond took a 1-0 lead on a powerplay goal from Trevor Lima 9:01 into the opening frame. After a scoreless second period, the Kodiaks’ Kodi Schwartz tied the score 4:02 into the third stanza. The Kodiaks host the Mission City Outlaws tomorrow (Wednesday, Jan. 8) at Aldergrove Arena. Game time is 7:15 p.m.
Kodiaks 3, Ridge Meadows Flames 1
On New Year’s Day at Aldergrove Arena, the Kodiaks extinguished the Flames’ six-game win streak. The Kodiaks led 3-0 and went on to defeat the Flames 3-1. The Flames’ Michael Bell spoiled Kodiaks goaltender Jordan Liem’s shutout bid when he scored on a Ridge Meadows powerplay with 5:57 to go in regulation time. After a scoreless opening period, the Kodiaks broke the ice with second period goals off the sticks of PJHL scoring Stephen Ryan at the 5:11 mark and Elvis Jansons with 6:04 remaining in the frame. Ryan’s second of the night, and league-leading 30th of the season, gave the Kodiaks a three-goal cushion at the 3:08 mark of the third period. ICE CHIPS: Ryan, a 19-yearold from Langley, leads the PJHL in scoring with 30 goals and 30 assists in 32 games. His teammate Kenny Prato is third on the PJHL scoring table with 20 goals and 32 assists.
