The victim was apparently able to talk at least somewhat after the crash, said Marks. Now that the injured woman has been taken for care, the investigators have started assess-

Remaining swiped items waiting to be claimed A vast trove of stolen items was found by Langley RCMP, and they need to find the owners. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley Mounties raided a Surrey home looking for stolen goods, and needed a three-tonne truck to make a dent in the hoard. On March 16, officers from the Street Enforcement Unit swooped down on a property in the 5500 block of 129th Street. The only occupant of the property, a woman
identified as a prolific property crime offender, was arrested on outstanding warrants, said said Cpl. Holly Marks, a spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The 30-year-old woman is facing charges. It took a whole day to fill a rented cargo truck and two other vehicles with the goods they found. A 2002 Porche Boxter, stolen during a break and enter on Valentine’s Day in Surrey, was also recovered. The 160 pieces of stolen property are believed to be linked to burglaries between November last year and this March. The burglaries took
place across both Surrey and Langley. Among the items found were “virtually the complete contents of a home,” Marks said. The majority of the goods, including the Porche, have already been returned to their rightful owners, said Marks. The rest of the items are now being displayed online, as officers hope to find the original owners. The hoard of stolen
Snowboards and artwork were among the goods RCMP found at a Surrey home on March 16. The majority of the items have been returned to their rightful owners. goods is so huge, officers have posted photos in multiple categories. Remaining to be returned are everything from snowboards and skis to fur coats, from watches and jewelry to ornate tables and artworks. If you see something that belongs
to you, police are asking that you call the Street Enforcement Unit’s property line at 604-532-3398. Leave your name and number and an officer will be in touch. The website can be seen here: http://tinyurl.com/ n5ekeqs.

Day of honour marks Afghan War Communities across Canada held ceremonies to honour soldiers who fought in Afghanistan, Canada’s longest war. by Heather Colpitts and Matthew Claxton news@langleyadvance.com
Langley City joined with other Canadian communities in honouring the men and women who fought in Afghanistan with a brief ceremony May 9. The City worked with the Royal Canadian Legion Langley Branch to hold a ceremony Friday afternoon. In addition to dignitaries and legion representatives, there were Langley City Fire Rescue members. The federal government recently created the National Day of Honour. “We couldn’t have done it over there, internationally, if we did not have the support back home,” commented Lt.-Col. Doug Poitras, the commanding officer of the Royal Westminster Regiment. He served in Afghanistan and was joined by Warrant Officer Trevor Avey, of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, who served two tours. The day was to mark the end of this country’s military mission in Afghanistan. A national ceremony on Parliament Hill paid tribute to the fallen, the sacrifices of the wounded, and the burden borne by families.

Langley MP Mark Warawa laid a wreath for those soldiers killed in Afghanistan in the National Day of Honour ceremony in Langley City May 9. Canadians were invited to honour the legacy of these heroes with a national moment of silence.
Flag raised
A flag raised over Langley Friday in honour of Afghan War veterans and fallen was once flown above the Peace Tower in Ottawa. Steve Ferguson, a Township councillor, and staffer Len Hryn hoised the flag, then lowered it to half-mast for two minutes of silence at 9 a.m. The flag was raised in the Derek Doubleday Arboretum adjacent to the Walk for the Fallen and the special cenotaph established there. It is one of the first cenotaphs in Canada dedicated specifically to remembering Canada’s war dead in the Afghan conflict. The names of the soldiers and civilians lost over the 12 years of the war are written on a metal band wrapped around a wooden monument. Trees along the path are planted in the memory of the fallen. Ferguson said the flag would only fly for one day, before being put back into storage. The flag was brought from Ottawa, and is intended for special occasions only. The flag raising was part of a series of events that took place across Canada on Friday to remember the Afghan conflict. The event was dubbed a Day of Honour by the federal government.

A car with two elderly occupants slammed into a Langley shopping centre building on Friday afternoon, but it appeared no one was hurt. At about 1 p.m. the car hopped the curb and struck a pillar in front of the Marble Slab Creamery off 200th Street near 64th Avenue. No one on the sidewalk was hurt, and the couple sat nearby after the accident, speaking to paramedics. The crash sounded like a screech, followed by a bang, said a nearby employee. The car suffered some front end dam-
age and left a lot of broken glass on the ground from shattered panels in the glass barrier that ran along the sidewalk. Police, Langley Township firefighters, and BC Ambulance paramedics were on the scene. The crash is only the most recent in a string of incidents that have seen drivers, mostly elderly, colliding with buildings around the Langleys.

RCMP
Police mourn tragedy in Pacific
Officers offered condolences to a local partner whose home country has been devastated. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Langley Mounties are reaching out to a tiny island nation ravaged by natural disasters, on behalf of a local collaborator. In early April, heavy rains fell on the Solomon Islands, causing major flash floods as rivers overflowed their banks in several parts of the island chain, including through the capital Honiara. A total of 22 people were killed, and up to 50,000 people were displaced or rendered homeless by the destruction. “Ten per cent of the population is affected,” said Ashwant Dwivedi, honourary consul general for the Solomon Islands. The small country, which occupies a large number of islands in the South Pacific but has just half a million citizens, was struck by a sizeable earthquake the same day as the floods. On Monday, Dwivedi was officially offered the sympathy and condolences of the Langley RCMP as well as the mayors of both City and Township. “The Solomon Islands have suffered a terrible tragedy,” said Supt. Derek Cooke, head of the Langley RCMP detachment. The tragedy is somewhat personal for local police officers, many of whom have come to know
Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance
Supt. Derek Cooke signed a book of condolences while Solomon Islands consul Ashwant Dwivedi, right, looked on. Both Langley mayors and other senior police officials also signed the book. Dwivedi over the past few years. The consul is a Langley resident, and he has forged a relationship with the RCMP, working as a member of a committee on diversity, and offering training to the police on
diplomatic issues. In honour of that relationship, a book of condolences was set up at the Langley RCMP detachment, and was signed by both mayors and Cooke on Monday. Dwivedi said the
Solomons and the RCMP have actually had a relationship since the 1970s, when a number of Solomon Islanders served on a United Nations peacekeeping mission with some RCMP members. The kindness of the Mounties is still remembered in the islands, Dwivedi said. “I had RCMP members in my thoughts, in the event that we would need their experties in search and rescue,” Dwivedi said. He said the damage is incredible on the ground on islands such as Guadalcanal. The island didn’t suffer as much physical destruction when it was a battlefield in the Second World War, Dwivedi said. In the Solomons, a number of aid agencies and governments are working together with the local government to begin rebuilding. More than 30 evacuation centres were established in the early days after the tragedy, he said.

Discrimination two-way street
The proposed new law school right here in Langley has already had ramifications felt from coast to coast. Canadians across the country – in every province – should be following this matter closely. Trinity Western University wants to educate lawyers. It also wants to continue to impose its charter which constrains students in a number of ways, based on the school’s Christian beliefs. The TWU Community Covenant bans, among other things, gossip, obscene language, harassment, and sexual intimacy “that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman.” If the school were a public one, there would be no question of such a covenant. In Canada, mores have shifted, and gay marriage has been legal and accepted for years. Can private institutions discriminate, and make rules that go against the prevailing tide of morality? We would argue that they can, provided they are not funded out of the taxpayers’ pockets. However, what TWU does not recognize is that this flows both ways. They are allowed to build their own treehouse, and keep out anyone they don’t like. But the rest of Canada can do the same in return: they can be excluded from other treehouses. Law societies across Canada have split on the TWU case. Ontario and Nova Scotia will not accept their lawyers; B.C. is reconsidering, with a vote expected in June. Our society never moves in lockstep on issues of morality. Some will rush on forward, while others will drag their heels. These issues will arise again and again, and one of the best ways to deal with them is to acknowledge that discriminatory beliefs can be held privately – that is one of the pillars of freedom. But private discrimination cannot be allowed to become public. - M.C.

Let taxpayers decide honours Dear Editor,
Your article [Langley trustees vote themselves pay increases, May 1, Langley Advance] made for interesting reading about how the trustees justify their reasons for a pay increase – no increase since 2008, lowest paid trustees, etc. Given the current fiscal situation it would hardly be prudent to be awarding oneself an increase. The majority of taxpayers have likely not had a pay increase in many years, either.
The best comment, however, was a remark by Trustee Cecilia Reekie: “I just think that it’s important that we honour the work that we do.” Perhaps, Ms. Reekie should find out how her employer (the taxpayers) feels regarding the work done by the trustees. And it should be the taxpayers who should do the honouring, not the trustees. Kudos to Candy Ashdown for not being comfortable increasing trustees’ salaries at this time. M. Chaplin, Langley

Langley Players wished festival success Dear Editor,
I recently saw the Langley Players’ rendition of Jim Geoghans’ Light Sensitive, held at the very quaint little theatre on 200th Street. Wow, what a show, what an enjoyable evening! While the cast is small, consisting of only three people, the actors were able to deliver an outstanding, touching performance. I enjoyed the performance as much as (if not more than) some of the high-end shows in downtown Vancouver.
Performing Their Hits:
“I Get Around,” “Good Vibrations,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “California Girls” and More!
SUN AUG 31 ST
Well done, Langley Players Drama Club cast and crew! And best of luck at the 2014 Fraser Valley Zone Festival. Thank you for choosing my entry [‘Backstage babe’ helps direct comedy, April 3 How to Win?, Langley Advance]. The show was fantastic. I took my sister as my guest, and we both loved it.

Trees honour garden opening The Fort Langley Community Garden officially opened amid the Township’s 12th annual Arbour Day celebration.

Glen Valley
Family, TWU lead forest preservation
The Blaauw family has made a donation to preserve more North Langley forests.
by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com
Plants and trees are expected in the Township of Langley. Not only are they expected, but they are also celebrated. Hundreds of people attended the free 2014 Arbour Day event held under sunny skies on April 27 at the Fort Langley Community Park. The event also featured the official opening of the Fort Langley Community Garden. This was the 12th Township Arbour Day event. Each year is held in a different park and neighbourhood for the festivities, so combining the community garden opening and Arbour Day events seemed a natural fit. “This is an ideal location for this year’s event,” said Al Neufeld with the Township, noting the park is adjacent to Langley Fine Arts School. Last year, a group of students with the Langley Fine Arts School (LFA) Green Team partnered with other volunteers, community groups, businesses, and the Township of Langley to create a new community garden in the park. Former LFA student and green team lead member Devon Azevedo is credited as being the community garden founder. The group built and now maintains 60 garden bed boxes, so that the public can grow their own organic vegetables and flowers. These gardens bring independence and a sense of accomplishment among other things, to those who use them. Not only were LFA students on hand to help in the garden for Arbour Day, the school’s jazz band also performed a concert. The garden is the perfect companion for the shade, beauty and environmental support provided by the trees of Fort Langley Community Park.

Above – Emma Kinar, four, planted a tree for her grandad and former Township parks and recreation commissioner, Bill Bettles, during Arbour Day on April 27. Left – Langley Fine Arts School teacher Penny Carnite and members of the school’s green team presented an award to Devon Azevedo – the founder of the Fort Langley Community Garden. Devon was performing at an Earth Day event, so his dad Barry accepted the award. As part of the celebration, guests were able to tour the garden and could plant fruit shrubs or flowering plants. Other displays and activities included discussions with master gardeners and arbourists, composting techniques, and a wide range of interactive displays. A special presentation was made to honour Azevedo for leading the creation of the garden, and the
planting of fruit trees celebrated community members who passed away in the previous year, but who left valuable legacies. They included: Alexander (Sandy) Wakeling, Allan Thain, Sgt. Pierre Lemaitre, Ruth Erickson, Beverly Gold, Brad Reid, Willard Ball, Norman Sherritt, Austin Kingsborough, Brendan Wilson, Mildie Berry, William (Bill) Bettles, and Jack Worrell.
The Blaauw Memorial Forest in Glen Valley is expanding with a $1 million donation that will buy and preserve more land. Two more parcels of land are being purchased by Langley’s Trinity Western University, the school announced last week. The original donation of $2.5 million by the Blaauw family last year allowed TWU to buy a 25 acre parcel known locally as Grey Pit. The former gravel pit site, which included some wetlands and a forest, had been owned by the Township for many years. It was to be sold to raise funds for other Township development projects, but neighbours and environmentalists had objected to the sale. Along with another parcel of lands to the west, it is now to be preserved under a covenant with TWU. “Working with the Blaauw family has truly been a blessing,” said Paul Weme, TWU’s vice president of development. “Their gift not only honours their husband and father, it “Working with the also preserves Langley’s Blaauw family has forests for generations truly been a blessing.” to come.” The late Thomas Paul Weme Blaauw built a poultry and cranberry farming business in Langley starting in the 1960s. He had long admired the forested plot of land in North Langley. After he passed, his family decided to purchase and preserve the land in partnership with TWU. The college plans to use the land for environmental research, education, and recreational purposes. The land is managed by TWU’s Environmental Studies department, which has established a stakeholders group that will meet twice yearly to discuss forest management. Last summer, fourth-year environmental science major Curtis Abney began inventory of the forest. Through his research, he discovered two at-risk species: the Red-Legged frog, and the Pacific Side Band snail. To date, more than 200 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and plants have been discovered on the property. “Knowing that the land is forever going to be preserved is wonderful,” said Janet. “The number of species the TWU environmental studies students have found is amazing. What we’re doing now is continuing my dad’s legacy.” Information on the exact size and location of the new lands being purchased was not available from TWU.

The pups are from a litter born on a livestream at the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) shelter in Aldergrove on April 17. The video feed, at news.livestream.com/tinykittens/bob has been recording much of their daily lives since they were born to mom Money, who was surrendered to the shelter earlier in the spring.

Ernie is a bright 1½ year old spit-fire! This energetic little guy is a little too much for small children but would love to go to an adult only home. Ernie has dogs friends here at LAPS and could live with another dog or a confident cat. He is very sporty, is raring to go and would love an active home. If you are interested in Ernie, please ask to speak with his Trainer. Chihuahua • Spayed/Neutered • Up-to-date with routine shots • Housebroken • No Kids. BE a Hero Lend a H a n d !

Ten month old Zeus is a big, shaggy bundle of love! With his floppy mop of hair and sweet personality, Zeus is pretty much irresistible and would love to find a family to cuddle and play with. He has plenty of get up and go and is always happy to snuggle up for some lovin’ after a good long walk. Zeus is especially fond of Nylabones and has a great time goofing around with his toys. Although he’s still just a big puppy, Zeus is very well-behaved and has all his basic training down pat. If you’re lucky, he might even show you a trick or two! Zeus is great with other dogs and could live with cats and kids, too.
Binky is an exuberant, Rhodesian ridge-back mix. This little banana pants is about a year old and hasn’t quite learned his manners yet. No small furries for this guy, he thinks they are just too fun to chase, and couldn’t be trusted not to in his new home. Binky needs a human that has a lot of get up and go! They’ll need to be super active and be able to keep him busy. Don’t let his tie fool you... he is always up for hiking, swimming, agility, and getting down and dirty. This will definitely be in this guy’s future. Binky is looking for that special someone who wants a fur baby and doesn’t have any small human ones. If your ideal dog sounds something like our sophisticated and dapper Binky, please ask to speak with his Trainer, Kayla.
Prospective homes will be interviewed by phone and some will be invited to fill out an application. We will be taking more applications than we have puppies so not everyone will be able to adopt a puppy. Only selected successful applicants will be invited to meet the puppies and begin a series of four fun filled puppy lessons required prior to adoption. Note all three puppies are male. To learn more about this dog please call LAPS at the Patti Dale Animal Shelter and ask to speak to his/her trainer. No emails please. 604-857-5055
Adorable Houdini has an interesting story to tell! He had been hanging around the property of a Langley resident for months before the gentleman was able to get near him. After feeding him and slowly making friends, the man was able to catch Houdini and bring him to us. However, when he grabbed Houdini’s crate out of his car the door popped open and Houdini escaped! We set up a live trap and a couple of days later Houdini was in the shelter, safe and sound. He was horribly matted, so we had to shave his entire body to the skin but we’re sure he feels better without all those mats. Now that he’s neutered and all cleaned up, Houdini is looking for a loving home. He’s very gentle and a little on the shy side but once he feels comfortable, Houdini is charming and affectionate. He loves having his ears scratched and is always happy to curl up in a cozy bed. With his adorable squishy face and sweet personality, Houdini is practically irresistible. Do you have room in your life for this special guy?
Handsome Gibson is a show stopper! This sleek black boy has all the grace and beauty of a panther in a much smaller package. Gibson came to LAPS when his previous owner passed away but he’s ready to find a new best friend now. He is about 1 1/2 years old and has a lifetime of love left to give. This charmer loves chin scratches, batting his toys around and climbing his cat post. Gibson is confident and affectionate and could likely live with a dog or another cat. For more information please call LAPS at 604 857-5055
Kalina is a super sweet cat who deserves the best in life. She arrived at LAPS with three gorgeous kittens in tow and went immediately into foster care while she raised her babies. Kalina was in pretty rough shape when she came to us but she was a fantastic mom and her babies got the best of everything from her. Her kittens are all adopted and now it’s Kalina’s turn to find a home who will treat her like a queen. This beautiful girl is 6 years old and is itty bitty, tipping the scales at only 7 lbs. Kalina is a chatty, snuggly girl who loves cuddle up to visitors for some scratches and love. She loves her cat post and can often be found curled up for a snooze on the very top. When she’s not napping, she’ll sit in the window and beg people to come in and adopt her. Whoever ends up with Kalina will be very, very lucky, so if you’re in the mood to win the kitty jackpot come meet Kalina today! For more information please call LAPS at 604 857-5055

Rain didn’t slow down paddlers
Tuesday, May 13, 2014
A15
Saturday morning’s drizzle didn’t present perfect conditions for those involved in the 16th annual Paddler’s Classic, hosted by the Fort Langley Canoe Club along the Bedford Channel. But the overcast sky, rain, and strong current on the Fraser River didn’t slow down the paddlers involved. Right – competitors dug their paddles into the muddy waters of the Fraser to begin the Marathon C2, K1, C1, Surfski, OC1 race that covered 20,000m of water with a portage. Below – Clinton Hugh made his way towards the finish of the K1,C1 bantam, novice race.

Amateur boxing
Young Guns III big hit at Coast The 29th Clash at the Cascades show attracted 350 fans to the Coast Hotel ballroom, where they watched 10 action-packed bouts. Leather flew in flurries Friday inside the Coast Hotel ballroom. The 29th installment of the Clash at the Cascades amateur boxing series featured 10 thrilling bouts which included a few young boxers who battled for the very first time. The twin main event featured two matches in the newly created Classic Heavyweight Division. This is for boxers who weighed more than 196 pounds, and up to 220 pounds, and both bouts were action-packe, according to show matchmaker and organizer Dave Allison. Dan Baxter of Nanaimo’s Tomari MMA took on Surrey’s Aaron Downey of World Kickboxing Academy in a three-round tilt. The first two rounds went to Downey by a close margin, with
Baxter coming back in the third. However, Baxter’s third round rally was not enough and the judges saw the fight for Downey. The second of the two heavyweight contests was a match between Colin Nicholson of Surrey, representing Suitela’s Martial Arts taking on Samuel Moses of Sargeant Boxing, a Vancouver club. It was a see-saw battle that went the distance. In the end, Nicholson had his hand raised. The twin heavyweight bouts was indicative of a card that was chockfull of exciting back and forth battles, Allison said. Very notable was the battle between Bisla Martial Arts’ Karn Brar and Jeremy Cooke from Maple Ridge’s Carlson Gracie MMA in a

welterweight bout. Cooke dropped Brar before Brar returned the favor in what was a war. Cooke would prevail when he delivered a perfectly placed liver shot on Brar, causing the referee to put a halt to the bout. The show opened with a very competitive junior bout involving Gavin Bisla of Bisla and Chris Fortham of Suitela’s in the 90 pound division. “The bout ended in a draw and both boys will certainly see each other again with such a close match,” Allison said.
Big draw at door
The 10 bout card had an attendance of about 350 fight fans and is the third card this year at the Cascades. The next Clash at the Cascades card is set for Aug. 1 at the Coast ballroom.
Junior A lacrosse
Jr. Thunder win first Langley sandwiched its first ‘W’ of the BCJALL season between a pair of losses.
The story for the Langley Jr. Thunder over the past few days: one step forward, two steps back, and not in that order. The Jr. Thunder sandwiched a pair of losses between their first win of the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League season, as they saw their record fall to 1-5. Burnaby Lakers 13, Jr. Thunder 10 Thursday at the Langley Events Centre, the Jr. Thunder were out-scored by the visiting Lakers. The Lakers led 6-3 after the first period and that was the difference. The teams exchanged three goals each in the second period and four apiece in the final frame. Brett Dobray had a fine game, offensively, for the Jr. Thunder in a losing cause, by scoring four times while adding a pair of assists. Brendan Mykle-Winkler had a hat trick while James Rahe tallied twice and added two helpers. Jr. Thunder 8, Delta Islanders 6 It took until the fifth game of the regular season, but the Jr. Thunder finally notched their first win. continued on page A16…

Major midget hockey
Coach nets B.C. award
For veteran coach Tom Spencer, the third year’s the charm behind the bench of the Valley West Hawks major midget squad.
A Langley resident has been named as the BC Major Midget League’s No. 1 bench boss. BC Hockey announced May 7 that Valley West Hawks head coach Tom Spencer has earned the nod as the 2013/14 Major Midget League (MML) Coach of the Year. Spencer has held the Hawks head coach position for the past three seasons, serving as assistant coach for the Fraser Valley Bruins prior to that time. He has also been involved with the Langley Minor Hockey Association and the BC Hockey Male High Performance program.
He led the Hawks to a third place overall finish in the MML regular season with a 27-11-2 record. The team went on to defeat the Cariboo Cougars in the quarter-finals of the MML playoffs before falling to the Okanagan Rockets in three games. The Rockets rolled all the way to the Telus Cup national tournament in Moose Jaw, Sask., where they earned a bronze medal with a 3-2 overtime win over the Toronto Young Nationals.
About the BCMML
The BC Hockey MML was established in 2004, with the intent of providing elite level 15, 16, and 17 year olds an opportunity to play within their own age group at a high level and be developed for the next level of hockey. These teams have an opportunity each year to compete for the national midget championship.

Jr. Thunder host Adanacs Thursday …continued from page A15
The Jr. Thunder built an 8-4, third-period lead on the Islanders Saturday at Sungod Arena in North Delta, and went on to win 8-6. Defence and goaltending was key for the Jr. Thunder during the first two periods, as they held the Islanders to just three goals during that span. The Jr. Thunder scored three goals to the Islanders’ one in the middle frame. Langley goaltender Steven Mayervich made 30 saves through the opening two stanzas. He ended up stopping 40 of 46 shots in total. At the other end of the floor, Rahe and Dobray did most of the offensive damage with matching hat tricks.
YOUTH SKILLS CAMPS Presented by
Rahe also added three assists to his totals. Tyler Rutherford with a goal and three helpers and Alex Gibbs with a goal and two assists also found the net for the Jr. Thunder. Victoria Shamrocks 13, Jr. Thunder 4 Judging from the score alone, the Victoria Shamrocks had the Jr. Thunder crying “Mommy” on Mother’s Day Sunday at the George Preston Recreation Centre. In all seriousness, the first period was close, and then the ’Rocks took over. Leading 3-2 after the opening stanza, Victoria out-scored Langley 5-1 in both the second and third periods to win in a rout. Four Shamrocks runners scored multiple goals including Cole Pickup and McLean Chiquen
(both with hat tricks) and Karver Everson and Max Fredrickson (two goals apiece). Dobray scored twice for the Jr. Thunder. FINAL BUZZER: The Jr. Thunder will look for their second win of the season this Thursday (May 15) when they host the league-leading Coquitlam Adanacs at the Langley Events Centre. Game time is 8 p.m. The Adanacs and New Westminster Salmonbellies are the two remaining undefeated teams in the BCJALL, both with 4-0 records. They are followed by the Shamrocks (3-1-1), Islanders (3-3), Lakers (22), Nanaimo Timbermen (1-3), Jr. Thunder (1-5) and still winless Port Coquitlam Saints (0-4).
