A Sunday afternoon fire at 33rd Avenue and 224th Street resulted in the death of a number of harness-racing horses. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Multiple agencies will be called in to investigate a Sunday afternoon fire at a mushroom farm in Murrayville that left many horses dead. The Langley Township Fire Department got the call at 2:21 p.m. June 1 about a commercial structure fire at 33rd Avenue and 224th Street, the site of All Seasons Mushrooms and JJJ Stables. While fire crews were en route, it was upgraded to a fully involved structure fire, explained Township district fire chief Russ Jenkins. The fire department went to a second alarm, to call out more resources. A structure, which was about 150 feet by 60 feet, was a combination mushroom and horse barn, and was destroyed in the blaze.

Expedition

Canoeists given traditional send-off Spirit of the Coast paddlers got an emotionally charged farewell on Sunday. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

It was a huge send-off, friends and family coming together to express appreciation and admiration for a team of paddlers who are embarking on a three-month canoe journey to Alaska. More than 100 people gathered in the Kwantlen Cultural Centre on Sunday morning to wish a safe and prosperous journey to Fort Langley’s Brandon Gabriel, his skipper, Chris Cooper of Pitt Meadows, and other members of the Spirit of the Coast Canoe Journey team. The journey is, in large part, to bring awareness to what Cooper describes as the jewel in Canada’s crown: the pristine and stunningly beautiful British Columbia coastline. Both Cooper and Gabriel spoke to the sensitive balance that currently exists, and what they call the very real and dangerous threat posed by tarsands and pipeline development. “The biggest, most pressing issue here is the environment: economic, social, and cultural sustainability,” Gabriel told the crowd.

were presentations of blankets to each of the paddlers, handpainted drums and paddles given in thanks to some special contributors, and the ceremony was completed with a traditional First Nations blessing for both paddlers and canoe. Then, in short order, the pullers were loading up the Chief of the River canoe with equipment, and they embarked on the first leg of their journey from the Kwantlen boat launch to the Bedford Landing waterfront plaza – two minutes down stream, where the team disembarked again, this time to take part in a much Roxanne Hooper /Langley Advance briefer public farewell Kwantlen’s Natch Antone (background) helped send off his son celebration.

Traffic safety

Child and senior struck in separate incidents Police ticketed a driver who left after knocking down a 12-year-old. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Two pedestrians, one a child and one a senior, were struck by cars between Friday afternoon and Monday in Langley City. The Friday afternoon incident was the more serious, in which a young boy was struck in the 20300 block of 56th Avenue, while in a marked crosswalk. City fire crews and Langley RCMP attended the scene.

2014

Assistant City fire chief Peter Methot said those who saw the accident said the driver of the car got out, told people they would park their car in the nearby 7-Eleven lot, and then never returned. The boy was knocked down but fortunately was not seriously hurt. His school teacher happened to pass by not long after the incident and rode with him in the ambulance until his parents could pick him up. He was taken to Langley Memorial Hospital to be assessed, and was released with bumps and bruises later in the day. The witnesses at the scene got a good look at the car involved, said Const. Craig van

Herk, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The silver Acura’s licence plate number was given to an officer, and the police later headed over to the house of the vehicle’s owner. The woman was given tickets for driving without due consideration, failing to yield to a pedestrian, and failing to remain at the scene of an accident, said van Herk. On Monday a short time after noon, a 72year-old man was hit near the 5500 block of 204th Street. In this case, the driver stayed at the scene. When emergency crews arrived, the elderly man, who had been riding a scooter, refused medical help and motored away on his own.

Supreme court

Robber took children along A judge said he had little hope of rehabilitation for a man convicted of a string of armed robberies. by Jennifer Saltman

Special to the Langley Advance

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

Classic wheels

Jimmy Berkenpas of Mountain Equipment Co-op checked out the classic Raleigh bicycle brought in by Brian Stablyk, right, during a free bike repair clinic held as part of a Bike Fest event on Saturday at the store’s Langley location. The Bike Fest also included a lengthy bike ride for some participants, lasting four hours.

Injured? Call DBM.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge says rehabilitation is a “remote possibility” for a man who committed a string of robberies, unless he deals with his drug addiction. Michael Heatley, 28, was found guilty last month of seven counts of robbery and seven counts of disguising his face with an intent to commit an offence. He was sentenced Thursday in New Westminster to 7½ years in prison. The robberies took place between May 8 and Sept. 1, 2011, and targeted three Subway restaurants, three Booster Juice shops and one liquor store. The businesses were located in Langley, Chilliwack, Port Moody and Surrey. On each occasion, Heatley, wearing a mask, went into the business and demanded money from an employee. Each time, he took a few hundred dollars. During the final robbery, at a liquor store in Langley, he showed what appeared to be a switchblade to the person working at

the store. Heatley’s girlfriend drove him to and from the robberies. During the robbery of a Langley Subway on May 8, 2011 – Mother’s Day – the girlfriend’s two young children were in the car. The older child, now 11, testified at trial that she had been asked to look for a pair of black gloves before the robbery and although she was told they were stopping to get food, she noticed that Heatley came back instead with “lots of money” and her mother drove away quickly. Money from the robberies, according to Heatley, was used for food and drugs. He was addicted to cocaine and heroin, and his girlfriend was also an addict. Justice Ian Josephson noted in his reasons for sentence that Heatley has a previous criminal record that includes convictions for robbery, mischief and breaching conditions. He was on bail at the time for two of his robberies. Josephson said drug addiction is a major issue for Heatley, and unless he gets treatment “his rehabilitation remains a relevant but remote possibility.” Josephson gave Heatley a 7½-year sentence, minus credit for 3½ years of time served. Four years remain in Heatley’s sentence.

Butorac

Murder links forcing new trials 604.534.2131 #205-19978 72nd Ave., Langley

New trials are pending for the man accused in three slayings in Langley and Abbotsford. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

www.dbmlaw.ca Good advice. Good law. Good people.

Davey Mato Butorac, the Aldergrove man charged with three murders, will be back in court on June 12 to fix a date for two upcoming trials. Butorac was convicted of two counts of second degree murder in 2011 and sentenced to 23 years in prison before being eligible for parole. However, the B.C. Court of Appeal overturned those convictions and has

now ordered a new trial. The appeals court panel of three judges ruled that the judge in the initial trial erred in linking the two murders, of Sheryl Lynn Korrol and Gwendolyn Jo Lawton. The killings took place about four months apart. Lawton was found on March 13, 2007, in a rural area of Abbotsford, and Koroll was found in an industrial park off Mufford Crescent in Langley on July 7. Butorac has also been facing a murder charge in the death of Aldergrove’s Margaret Redford, who went missing in 2006 and was later found in Bertrand Creek on May 20 of that year. Butorac’s appearance to fix a date will be for both the re-trial and the trial in the death of Redford, although the trials are expected to be conducted separately.

Labour dispute

Teachers rally for unions Teachers and their allies gathered on the second day of rotating school strikes in Langley. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Labour leaders gathered with Langley teachers as local union members rallied outside school district offices Monday during the second day of rotating strikes. Several hundred teachers, along with members of the CUPE locals that also work in the Langley School District, gathered in the parking lot to hear speeches, while small groups took turns walking along Fraser Highway with picket signs. “I think the feeling so far has been extremely positive,” said Gail ChaddockCostello, president of the Langley Teachers Association (LTA). Of the approximately 1,500 teachers in Langley, she’s heard from about five so far who are unhappy with the two days of strike actions taken in the district. At least some of that seems to be a result of the

government docking teachers’ pay by 10 per cent, she said. Chaddock-Costello said with the end of the school year coming up, between the partial job action and a partial lockout on the government side, some extracurricular activities are being affected. Teachers and administrators are finding ways to allow other to step into the gaps, Chaddock-Costello said, adding that teachers would like to be taking part more. She said she is confident that grad celebrations and other year-end events will go ahead. Representatives of the B.C. Teachers Federation at the rally said the teachers are ready to sit down and keep negotiating. “We want a deal now,” said Teri Mooring, second vice president of the BCTF. “We’re willing to be at the table non-stop.” Also at the rally was Hassan Yussuff, president of the Canadian Labour Congress. “It’s really about the defense of public education,” Yussuff said. Last month, both sides did move closer to a deal, with the provincial

government relaxing its demand for a 10-year contract, while the BCTF also moved to allow a longer contract than it had initially asked for. After that, progress seemed to break down. The province says teachers’ wage and benefit demands are unrealistically high, and are also resisting giving in on smaller class sizes. Mooring described the government’s current position as “entrenched.” The government has offered a signing bonus for teachers if the union can settle by the end of June.

Warawa backing TWU The fight over TWU’s lawyers and its Community Covenant was taken to the floor of Parliament. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley MP Mark Warawa put himself firmly on the side of Trinity Western University in the controversy over its attempts to open a law school. On Thursday, Warawa said law societies that had refused to certify TWU’s law grads were attacking “religious freedoms.” “No, these law societies voted against Trinity because they did not like Trinity’s Christian Code of Conduct for students that choose to attend,” Warawa said. The code of conduct bans gossip, obscene language, and lying, but the major issue for law societies has been the ban on sexual intimacy “that violates the sacredness of marMark Warawa riage between a man and a woman.” MP for Langley Because of the discrimination against gay students, debates took place at several law societies across Canada over whether TWU lawyers should be accredited. TWU is now litigating against Ontario and Nova Scotia, both of which voted against accepting the Langley university’s future law school graduates. B.C.’s law society voted to accept TWU graduates, but a Victoria lawyer challenged the approval, and gathered support to force a special meeting for another vote by the society’s governing body. That vote is expected sometime in the near future. Lawyer Clayton Ruby has also launched a lawsuit against the B.C. Ministry of Advanced Education’s approval of TWU. “Canada is a country known for human rights and religious freedom,” said Warawa. “The intolerance demonstrated by these law societies tarnishes Canada’s international reputation, making it hypocritical for Canada to speak out internationally when our own religious freedoms are under attack from within.”

Langley Township council

Brookswood tree rules recalculated

A change in tree cutting rules allowed Township council to debate Brookswood policy again. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley Township council revisited its tree protection bylaw for Brookswood again Monday night, this time passing a revised version to fix math issues in the first set of rules. The revised bylaw was passed to clarify issues around the rule that allowed property owners to remove either eight trees, or 20 per cent of the trees on their property. The change saw council debate again the limits and appropriateness of limiting tree removal in one neighbourhood of the Township. The strongest opponent to the bylaw was Councillor Grant Ward. He said taxpayers’ rights were “being stepped on rather severely,” by the bylaw. It would add a number of costs to landowners who have to remove trees. “The people of Brookswood-Fernridge are good people,” said Ward. “They know how to manage their property.” He also denied that there had been widespread clearcutting of lots in Brookswood, something a number of residents complained about earlier this spring. The remainder of the council did support the bylaw, at least for now. “I’ll support this on an interim basis,” said Coun. Charlie Fox. He expressed doubts that the best way to create the rules was to leave them in place until a new Brookswood-Fernridge Official Community Plan (OCP) can be finished. The last proposed OCP was abandoned in the face of significant public opposition earlier this year. “This certainly has been a very emotional issue,” said Coun. Steve Ferguson, himself a Brookswood resident. He supported the measure of protection the bylaw gives to Brookswood’s trees. “Yes, there has been clearcutting in Brookswood,” Ferguson said, including several locations near his own home, he said. Ward warned that the only way to enforce the rules will be by neighbours “squealing” on one another. “The rest of the Township are not bearing these burdens,” Ward said. The bylaw passed with only Ward opposed. The tree cutting ban was already in place before Monday’s vote after an emergency meeting earlier this month.

Adventurers fill coast with spirit

It’s about the Spirit of the Coast. And it’s about maintaining that spirit, despite what sometimes seems a concerted effort to break it. A small group of adventurers has set off on a trip to Alaska. These days, that doesn’t seem like such an insurmountable distance: a few hours by air, maybe a casual couple of days by car. But they’re going by water – and not aboard any of the luxury cruise liners that regularly ply the coast, laden with tourists whose chief interest is in relaxing, taking in the sights, and maybe picking up a few mementos and keepsakes at the top of the ride. The Spirit of the Coast adventurers are going the old way – by canoe. And they’ll be travelling in the old traditions. They’ll be making stops along the way, accepting hospitality from and paying homage to the many peoples who live and make their living on the coast. This will be a journey of discovery for not only those wielding the paddles, but for those whom they visit and commiserate with along the way. And it will be a journey of discovery for us – for all of us who follow them on their travels, for all of us who care to understand, who care to know more, who care about the coastal waters and shores and the inlets and islands and their flora and fauna and the people who, in many cases, are continuing the lifestyles and stewardship of generations that lived on the coastal waters and breathed the coastal air. It will also be a journey fraught with danger. They’ll be out there for 90 days, paddling 1,300 kilometres. And they’ll be passing through some of the hazardous waters that have raised concerns about the threats to our coastline from pipelines and the ships they will feed. We wish them a safe and successful journey. We wish them a beautiful journey. – B.G.

Poor example

Hunting

Supermarket hunters barbarians

Dear Editor, Please tell me Mr. Harvey is a vegan. Tell me he hasn’t any animal products in his possession. He has come to the conclusion that “killing fellow animal life is barbaric.” Is it barbaric to slaughter thousands of animals a day in a slaughter house? The animals lining up, hearing others being killed? Do you “consider that these animals have feelings of fear, pain, sorrow, and loss?” For most people, the answer is no. Unless you are a vegan, your life is dependent on meat for sustenance. I grew up in a family of hunters. We spent quality time walking through the bush, exploring. There is no guarantee you can come home with meat; those ani-

mals have a chance. Those who hunt in the supermarket are bloodthirsty barbarians. Derrick Jahn, Port Kells

Live and let live

Dear Editor, Mr. Harvey should leave hunters alone [Barbaric mindset fosters urge to kill, May 27 Letters, Langley Advance]. Hunting has always been a pastime for many people, even though our current generation can get all our food at the local grocery store. Trophy hunting injects thousands of dollars into the local economies, as hunters can drop $10,000 or more to go on a big game hunt. Why does he insult hunters by asking, “If the game could shoot back with high velocity shells, would these

Odd Thoughts

Frogs aplenty some places

Dear Editor, Don’t fear for the frogs [Frogs lost in sounds of silence, May 27 Odd Thoughts, Langley Advance]! When we bought our house 20 years ago, it had a swimming pool. The ducks used to land in it all the time. We had the pool removed because we had no time to use it, and it was a huge waste of water. So we had a little creek with a waterfall built, instead. An army of frogs moved in right away (yes, the collective noun is “army”)! We have a wild, forested area at the back of our property, dipping down to a major creek. I assume that’s where the frogs came from. They are very small and they hide under the rocks. You would not believe how loud they are in the evening! My neighbours can’t believe it. These frogs put out a blast of sound which makes it almost impossible to sleep. That lasts for about two months while the eggs are being laid, and then the croaking tapers off significantly. At the moment, our little creek is full of hundreds of tadpoles. I’m waiting until I see the legs develop before starting to clean out the algae. The frogs love their little piece of paradise, and the ducks love it, too. It sure beats having a swimming pool! Sharon Stephenson, Langley

brave hunters be in the woods?” He needs to give his head a shake. Is he a vegetarian or does he eat beef, pork, and chicken? They all have feelings, too. Let hunters harvest game, so deer and bear don’t overrun our towns and become nuisances as they have become in the Interior, due to lack of hunting. I am not a hunter. I don’t even enjoy gutting a fish, and prefer to catch and release. I do have relatives and friends who hunt and have no problem with it. I don’t have an urge to kill, but enjoy shooting groups or clay pigeons on the target range. Get off your high horse and let people enjoy their own lives, and stop being critical of others. Live and let live, or hunt and enjoy the bounty nature provides. To each his own. Dave Jones, Langley

Hunters deficient

Dear Editor, I applaud Mr. Harvey for writing in to express his feelings about hunters. It motivated me to add the following: One thing is clear, hunters are morally deficient. “He who does not value life does not himself deserve it.” – Leonardo da Vinci “As long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap the joy of love.” – Pythagoras Patricia Tallman, Langley For more letters to the editor visit... www.langleyadvance.com – Click on Opinion.

The organizer of the Langley City Terry Fox Run for the past five years is passing the torch to a new leader for the coming event. Lilianne Fuller will hand over the reins to Rick Barnett, owner of Valley First Aid. Barnett volunteered for the Terry Fox Run in 2013, and was asked to expand his role. “I knew this would be one of the last years I would chair this run and I really wanted to leave it in good hands,” Fuller said. “Rick is a busy person, but he always makes time for the community. I admire that. I was really pleased when he said he would not only cochair the event but he was prepared to take it over completely in 2015.” “It’s the citizens of Langley who make this a great community,” said Barnett. “It never ceases to amaze me, how so many people volunteer their time to make our City just a little bit better for everyone.” The Terry Fox Run takes place on Sunday, Sept. 14, this year, on the heels of the BC Seniors Games, and both chairs are hoping that the volunteers won’t be experiencing too much fatigue and will consider helping their community one more day after the Games end. Terry Fox raised awareness of cancer, but it will take continued effort to see his dream of the eradication of cancer come to fruition. The Terry Fox Run is a great opportunity to get involved in the community and meet some great people, Fuller said. Email Rick@valleyfirstaid.ca to get involved, a few hours out of your life could make a lifetime of difference to someone else, said Barnett. Barnett is also the community director for the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce. In that capacity he is responsible for reaching out and assisting businesses in that geographic area. This year as well as his regular duties he is chairing the 2014 Business Expo.

High Efficiency

Freedom 95 gas furnaces cost less to operate due to a very high AFUE (annual fuel utilization efficiency). Over 95% of the fuel you pay for is converted into heat, and temperature swings are eliminated to give you a greater efficiency.

Tired of painting & sanding your handrails every year?

WE HAVE THE

SOLUTION

Vinyl Handrail Cover & Accessories

Quiet

A heat pump is an energy-efficient way to cool your home in the summer and heat it in the winter. It does the job of an air conditioner and furnace. But unlike a furnace, it doesn’t burn fuel to make heat. Instead, it uses electricity to move heat from one place to another.

Cleaner Air

Introducing accuclean - the most advanced way to filter and clean the air throughout your entire home. Accuclean* is 8 times more effective than even the best hepa room appliance and 100 times more effective than a standard 1” throw away filter or ionictype room appliance. *Accuclean removes up to an unprecedented 99.98% of unwanted particles and allergens from filtered air in your home. This will bring comfort to people who suffer from asthma and or allergies

Comfortable

Reliable, accurate temperature control at your fingertips. There is no better way to control you heating and cooling system than with a digital touch screen thermostat. Attractive, streamlined to fit any home decor, and user friendly.

R E L I A B L E • Certified Government Licensed Gas Fitters • Registered Contractors • Full line of Consumer Heating and Cooling Products • Safety checks • Friendly, helpful Employees • Flexible schedule & responsive service • Ask about Furnace & Air Conditioning packages

No more scraping, sanding, filling and painting wooden deck railings! Netcan’s patented Vinyl Handrail Cover is an easy, neat, and labour saving solution. Ideal add on to any exterior renovation. Create a clean finished look while increasing customer satisfaction with this inexpensive final touch.

Just a little tap… Emily, a Spark with the First Telegraph Trail Guides, carefully hammered a nail into a duck nesting box with the help and supervision of Tyra, Rhys, Taylor and Natash, Brownies and Guides with the same group. The youngsters and their Guide leaders were busy Friday in Fort Langley setting up the nesting box as part of a project to oversee a stretch of the Salmon River just west the village. The Guides come from Walnut Grove, Fort Langley, and Clayton Heights along the old Telegraph Trail route.

Guides dabble in ducks

YOUR TROUBLE FREE

A group of Guides from North Langley are protecting a stretch of local river. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Guides, Brownies, and a Spark from the First Telegraph Trail group gathered in Fort Langley on Friday to put in some work on a project to help wildlife. The project, sponsored by Ducks Unlimited with support from Girl Guides of Canada and the Langley Environmental Partners Society, saw the kids working on a duck nesting box near the Salmon River. It’s part of an ongoing effort to improve a little stretch of river, said Guide leader Gaylene Thoeny. “We planted trees here three weeks ago,” Thoeny said. The girls have also been pulling out invasive species like blackberry bushes. The site was chosen because the girls, from Walnut Grove and the Fort, all live close enough that they can see and appreciate the area.

New developments in metabolic science has led to the unimaginable... weight-loss!

Scientists Predict End of Obesity by 2018

Within the Next 5-Years; Experts predict “weight loss clinics will be shuttered… diet doctors will be obsolete… and virtually no one in this country will ever be fat again!” Here’s why... By: Don Westein, Health Editor After years of painstaking research, scientists have announced a weight loss discovery so radical it could end America’s obesity epidemic by 2018. “This is a real gamechanger!" Says John P, a nutritionist from Phoenix, AZ. Some say, Garcinia Cambogia is going to put millions out of work. Referring to the countless jobs in the diet industry. But just think about the millions of lives that will be saved from sickness and disease that comes from being fat! Famous TV Heart Surgeon: This is the “Holy Grail for people with Weight problems!”

So exactly why is Garcinia Cambogia wowing the scientific community?

For one thing, it’s not another diet craze that’s in one day and out the other. It’s a remarkable substance derived from an amazing pumpkin shaped fruit grown in southeast Asia… But not just any variety of Garcinia will do. It has to be grown only in specific regions and cultivated under just the right conditions. The very best of the crop is “Garcinia Cambogia 2000”. Garcinia Cambogia wipes away fat so completely, that it has caught the attention of scientists and weight loss experts all over the globe. It works like nothing else seen before. Simply take as directed and eat reasonably. You can almost see your excess fat melt off your body. It’s just that effective! Experts predict, the data is so compelling... “Weight-loss centers could be forced to shut down. Diet doctors could be out of business within 5-years.” “There just won’t be a need for them anymore,” he added.

Gastric Bypass in a Bottle

The real power of Garcinia Cambogia lies deep inside the fruit. It contains an ingredient called HCA (Hydroxycitric Acid) that melts fat away in the same way stomach stapling does. Johan Stifling, a leading scientist in Utrecht Holland says: “With Garcinia it doesn’t take much to fill you up. You’re just not hungry anymore. The compound absolutely kills uncontrollable urges to binge on food in just minutes after taking it. After just a few bites, you’ll feel stuffed to the gills. You’ll swear your stomach has shrunk.” The secret is its ability to inhibit Citrate Lyase Enzyme (the stuff that turns carbs into fat). HCA builds an

“impenetrable wall” so fat can’t get absorbed by your body… so you simply can’t gain weight. Then, the HCA breaks up the fat you already have and forces it out of your body. Think about it. A pill that stops fat from being made, as it obliterates the fat you already have. Incredibly, the pounds and inches just roll off you.

When you take Garcinia...”After just a few bites of your meal, you’ll feel stuffed to the gills.”– Johan Stiﬂing, Clinical Therapist

Unlike other products on the market that do little or nothing for your weight problem; Garcinia Cambogia 2000 contains the precise doses of Garcinia and HCA; cultivated in optimized conditions and perfected for rapid and permanent weight loss. The result? You’ll see changes in your appetite almost overnight!

Your Body... Perfected!

There’s a surprise side benefit in Garcinia Cambogia 2000 that virtually no other weightloss product can give you — MUSCLE! Garcinia Cambogia also builds up your muscle tone. So not only do you rid your body of ugly fat… you get stronger too! Take as directed and Garcinia Cambogia will have you slimmer, trimmer and strikingly fit. You’ll see a total body makeover in no time!

No More “Stress-Eating Binges”

If you’re an emotional eater (and who isn’t), you’ll never worry about over-eating again. Garcinia Cambogia 2000 stops your compulsion to "stuff your face" during times of stress. It’s pure magic. Garcinia Cambogia 2000 jump-starts your serotonin levels like a natural Xanex. So you don’t give in to the temptation of “comfort food” to calm down.

Langley seniors plan to continue helping others in their community. by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

There’s only so much yard work a person can do. And since there was still extra time in Don Kelly’s day, the Langley senior decided to put it to use, helping others. “I just naturally felt that I couldn’t sit at home,” he said. That’s why he was chosen, along with Peggy Schafer, as the Langley Seniors of the Year. A local committee calls for nominations and selects one woman and one man for the accolade. They were introduced at a reception Monday at the Langley Seniors’ Resource Centre and will be the honoured guests of a Seniors’ Week luncheon Wednesday.

Don Kelly

For years Kelly, who spent his working life in a sawmill doing first aid, has been helping with the Langley Christmas Bureau as well as having helped

Crime Watch, local hockey teams and more. The Senior of the Year win came as a surprise. “I’m never one to stand out,” Kelly said. In fact both this year’s winners are worker bee types, people who get the job done without the spotlight on them. “I never think I’d ever win anything,” Kelly said. “To be nominated was just honour enough.” Kelly has volunteered for four years with the Magic of Christmas Parade and had spent six years as a volunteer with Crime Watch. He volunteered for two years with the Langley Chiefs hockey team and more recently for two years with the Langley Rivermen. He was also one of the people behind the recent Girls Fly, Too event which saw more than 1,300 girls and women take plane or helicopter flights to encourage women to go into aviation. Kelly has volunteered for 14 years with the Langley Christmas Bureau. Ironically Kelly doesn’t get to meet the people he helps but he knows what a difference the Christmas Bureau makes to families.

action. And Schafer has even saved some folks in medical emergencies while making her food deliveries. In addition to helping at Meals on Wheels, she’s involved in activities at her church, Christian Life Assembly. Her efforts in the church include the homeless ministry, recovery programming, local and international missions, and the funeral catering, as well as ushering at Sunday services. That list doesn’t include all the volunteering she did as a stay-at-home mom and the groups her kids were involved with. Sharon Reeder nominated Schafer and backed it up with letters of support from her church and her kids, as well as with a recent Langley Advance profile of Schafer [Longtime volunteer can sure deliver, Feb. 18]. “She has been there through all the ups and downs,” Reeder said. “She has such an amazing upbeat attitude and she is always smiling.” What was the senior’s reaction when she learned the selection committee chose her: “Really?” “I’m really honoured,” Schafer said. “It’s lovely.”

Thunder rolls over Burrards by Kyle Donen and Matthew Claxton

news@langleyadvance.com

The home court advantage worked in the Langley Thunder’s favour for their home opener Wednesday, snapping an early-season losing streak. The Thunder beat the Maple Ridge Burrards 11-7 in a game that saw the Thunder goalie Brodie MacDonald make key saves while the team put together its offensive machinery. It was a tight-checking opening period with little offensive production for either team. The Burrards managed to grab the first goal of the night, but the Thunder’s Athan Iannucci quickly fired a goal over the shoulder of Burrards’ Jeremy Funk. The Burrards seemed to have a lot of opportunities early on, but MacDonald managed 17 first-period saves. The Thunder also ably killed off the first penalty of the game, giving the Burrards few chances to get near the net. The game started to open up in the second period, as the two teams combined for nine goals. The Thunder’s Daniel McQuade led all scorers, with three goals in the second, as the Thunder took an 8-6 lead into the third period. Tempers had boiled over by the third

5 9 2%

period, with both teams parading to the penalty box. A total of 110 penalty minutes handed out in the game, with a number of majors in the final frame. The Thunder would take advantage of its power play opportunities in the final period, sealing the deal with back-to-back power play goals. The home team went 4 for 5 in the game, scoring 11 goals on just 32 shots. The Thunder were again led by Alex Turner offensively, but this time, other players got in on the action, including McQuade. Turner finished with four goals and three assists, and was named the game’s second star. First star honours were given to MacDonald, who stopped 39 of 46 shots, with key saves throughout the game. It was a great rebound game for the Thunder, coming off a 15-3 loss to the Burrards the previous Sunday night, and a total of three losing games on the road before this opening at home opener. The Thunder now has a chance to build some momentum on its home turf and climb out of it slow start to the season. Two of the next three games are at home. The Thunder will be back in action on Wednesday, June 4, at the Langley Events Centre. The game starts at 7:45 p.m.

Blaze player in MLB draft A Cloverdale player on the Langley squad is a top prospect. by Elliott Pap

Special to the Langley Advance

The short list is actually an extremely short list for B.C. players in the 2014 Major League Baseball draft. This year’s 40-round draft goes June 5-7 and, by all accounts, the top prospect from the province is Langley Blaze third baseman-catcher Mitchell Robinson. A Cloverdale native, Robinson is listed at 6’3”, 220 pounds and has a gun for an arm. But there aren’t many other B.C. players behind Robinson, according to Arizona Diamondbacks scout Doug Mathieson, who is also general manager of the Blaze. “I don’t think it’s a long list at all this year for B.C.,” Mathieson said. “It is a down year and I don’t think anybody disagrees with that. This is more of an Ontario-based year, but I think 2015 will be a rebound year for us and that will be exciting. Mitchell is probably the standard

bearer from B.C. this year. On a strictly skill basis, he’s projected to go anywhere from the fifth to the 12th round.” Robinson has committed to play NCAA baseball next season for Division One Florida International University. If MLB teams expect a player to opt for the college route – and, hence, not sign with them – they may pass them by. Robinson insists playing professionally is his first choice, but needs a plan in the event his drafting situation goes sideways. He might not like the round he is picked or the money being offered. Florida International is his security blanket. “It’s really covering all the bases,” Robinson said, cleverly deploying a baseball analogy. “You want a path if Plan A doesn’t work with the draft. Then you still have that fallback into a pretty good scenario. But if it’s the right opportunity - and I’m not 100 per cent sure what that is - then, yes, professional baseball is obviously the dream.” Robinson, 18, was a multisport athlete. He played hockey, volleyball and basketball but settled on baseball two years ago.
