The people who knew and loved Brett Loftus were planning a celebration of his life for 3 p.m. Tuesday afternoon (July 12) at the Boundary Bay Airport Terminal in South Delta. The tall good-looking 25-year-old with the easy smile spent thousands of hours at the Delta airport, first learning to fly as an outstanding student at the BCIT program run by the Pacific Flying Club (PFC), then as a well-regarded instructor himself at PFC. Langley City resident George Le Francois remembers Loftus as a considerate neighbour with an excellent sense of humour who loved flying. Another neighbour, Tina Calder recalled a young man “full of life” who would hold the elevator for the older residents of the apartment complex Brett where he lived. Loftus Pat Kennedy, Chief Operating Officer at PFC, said students would “literally line up” to fly with Loftus, who served as as mentor and inspiration to his apprentice pilots. “He was a shining light,” Kennedy said. “He was our go-to guy.” On a Facebook memorial web page, David Hodgson talked about “a great mentor and an even better friend” who taught him to succeed. “Even though you are gone, every time I lift the wheels off a runway I will try to achieve everything you expected of me,” Hodgson wrote. “I miss you buddy.” Another writer, Kelly Friesen, recalled Loftus as a man with a “beautiful, kind and loving spirit.” After Loftus died in a July 5 in plane crash north of Harrison Lake during a training flight with 23-year-old student Joel Nortman, BCIT temporarily suspended classes for students in

One of the “secret” ingredients for a long, healthy life is more of a psychological one. It is how meaningful and manageable you feel you life is. Retirees often face a void after a lifetime of work. Getting up in the morning with a plan for your day is an important part of this secret. Other secrets include not smoking, drinking alcohol moderately and daily physical activity. Photoaging is the premature aging of the skin caused by repeated exposure to sunlight. Signs of photoaging are brownish “liver” spots on the face, hands, chest and shoulders, leathery, sagging skin, wrinkles around the eyes and mouth which make a people look older than they really are.

There is research in progress on an ultra-long-acting insulin which will work the same way as daily insulin but has to be given only three times weekly. This insulin is called degludec and is being tested on Type II diabetics in clinical trials.
Joyce Olsen is happy with the Towsnhip’s crackdown on able-bodied people who park in stalls reserved for the disabled. Diagnosed 10 years ago with MS, Olsen needs to park close to her destination. She uses a cane or walker, depending on her discomfort level.

‘Particularly selfish violation’ Township cracking down on misuse of handicapped parking spaces
ADVERTORIAL
NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
For some people it means nothing at all: they pull into a handicapped parking space, run into the bank or store for “just a minute,” then head out to go about their day. But for other people it makes all the difference in the world: for those who suffer from debilitating diseases or disabilities, taking only a few steps can be painful, difficult, and
time consuming. For them, the handicapped parking space is not just a convenience — it is a necessity. On June 22, Joyce Olsen, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2001, wanted to park outside her doctor’s office in Langley City, only to find a vehicle parked in the slot designated for the disabled. A young woman, clearly ablebodied, walked quickly towards the parked car. Before she got in, Olsen pointed out that the
INJURED
space was reserved for disabled drivers. “I was only here for a few seconds, bitch,” the other woman replied. The offensive comment shocked Olsen, whose health has declined over the past eight months. Then, about an hour later, a similar incident occurred outside the Royal Bank in Murrayville where a fit driver had parked in a stall marked for the handicapped. It was the last straw for Olsen, who immediately contacted continued, PAGE 6

A
s RCMP helicopter Air One touched down in a light afternoon drizzle, more than 120 children crowded against a chain link fence at Langley Secondary School to watch. When the rotors stopped spinning,
the pilots stepped out and the kids began to cheer. It was the final day of the 2011 Junior Cadet Camp run by the Langley RCMP. The 10- to 12-year-olds got a chance to get a close-up look at Air One and other equipment like the RCMP tactical armored vehicle, a search and rescue truck and fire engine.
The goal of the camp, now in its sixth year, is to encourage what an RCMP web posting describes as “a positive interaction between children and the police, to educate youth making them safety conscious individuals” as well as reaching out to children at risk. Video online at www.langleytimes.com

the airline and flight operations program and made grief counseling available for staff and students. BCIT issued a statement describing Loftus as an “exceptional alumnus” and a flight instructor who “touched the lives of many BCIT students and staff in an extremely positive way.” The public announcement of the memorial service said instead of flowers, donations can be made to the BCIT Foundation in Brett’s name for the Brett Loftus Scholarship. Loftus talked about his love of flying in his online resume, saying it is “an industry that has captured my imagination since childhood.” He graduated the BCIT course with the “top pilot”
award and began working at the flying school in May of 2009, where he specialized in advanced airmanship training He also won awards for best private pilot written exam mark and best commercial pilot written exam mark. Bill Yearwood, an investigator with the Transportation Safety Board, said the fatal crash occurred in mountainous terrain full of optical illusions and wind currents that challenge the navigation skills of experienced pilots. Yearwood could not determine the cause of the crash from the on-site inspection of the wreckage, but he believes it was “operational in nature,” meaning it had to do with the performance of the aircraft in mountainous terrain. - with files from Chilliwack Progress.

anything like that.” “It may seem like I can’t walk, but I can still talk,” she said, adding that the time has come to call out the offenders. “So many people are behind me. We just need to get the ball rolling and get some attention on this.” One of her biggest supporters is her friend, Karrie Knight. She, too, has MS, but unlike Olsen who uses a cane or walker, her symptoms are less obvious, so that even though she looks healthy when she steps out of her car in a slot reserved for the disabled, she may be exhausted or in pain. Township bylaw manager Bill Storie said that targeting and ticketing violators will help, and he hopes that drivers will think twice before taking up a parking stall reserved for the disabled. “We have turned into a ‘me’ society,” Storie said, “but people need to start looking around and seeing the effects they have on other people. You may be able-bodied, but for somebody who can barely walk, it can take five minutes to go 30 feet. You might think, ‘I’m just going to run in,” but every foot is critical to these people.” Parking in a handicapped spot is a “particularly selfish violation,” Storie said.

Plaza planned for Bedford development in Fort Langley NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
The last piece of the Bedford Landing development is about to fall into place now that Township council has approved a heritage alteration permit. This applies to the commercial building known as the Riverside Centre which was built in the 1970s on the grounds of the Fort Hotel which had been destroyed by fire. The Riverside Centre was built before council adopted heritage guidelines for the village, but as it falls within the heritage conservation area, renovations must follow the guidelines. The renovations involve removing the portion of the building that lies south of the breezeway, the intent being to create an expanded open space for a public plaza, leaving intact what is now the Fort Pub and Grill. The tower at the northerly edge will also remain. A report to council indicates that the plaza will be landscaped with decorative pavers and trees. The area fronts Glover Road, immediately north of the railway tracks and Billy Brown Road. This commercial

Affair to remember
Necessary evil
f it’s never happened to you, it’s difficult to imagine the pain of losing someone you’ve loved for decades to a terrible and insidious disease like cancer. And, after a blow like that, who could blame someone if they decided to just throw in the towel and spend the rest of their days feeling cheated by life? But that’s not what Langley’s Giordano family decided to do. Far from it. After his “wife and best friend” Shauna, 50, died of colon cancer earlier this year, Mike Giordano and his three children decided to do what they could to perhaps help prevent someone else from one day suffering the same awful blow. They formed a team, named it Nana’s Bananas and got set to run in the July 9 Underwear Affair. The annual Vancouver fundraiser, held last weekend in support of the B.C. Cancer Foundation, encourages participants to ‘dress down,’ so to speak, and take to the streets in their skivvies to help fight cancers below the waist. After completing the 5k walk or 10k run participants are invited to attend the EXPOsed after party, complete with dancing, drinks and crazy costume contests. That’s a whole lot of fun in the name of a very serious cause. Maybe that’s what drew the Giordano family. More likely, however, is that they were just doing what their wife and mother would have expected of them. Throughout her life, Shauna, it is reported, was a tireless volunteer and fundraiser for cancer research even before she was diagnosed. She died just five days after her daughter Natalie’s 25th birthday. Despite her condition, she still organized presents and personally wrapped them for her daughter’s birthday — another testament to her giving nature. Certainly, it’s human nature to gravitate toward the causes which have most closely affected our own lives, but there’s nothing saying we have to wait until tragedy strikes before we hit the streets in our own metaphorical underpants. There are as many ways to help as there are ways that people need help. So whether it’s simply grasping a wad of cash for a worthy cause, or at the end of an arm with the sleeve rolled up to donate a unit of blood, there’s no shortage of good reasons to extend a hand to someone whose life has been touched by tragedy.
he carbon tax was the first tax increase. Then the provincial government introduced the HST. And on Canada Day, the carbon tax marked its first anniversary with a jump at the pump, another 1.11 cents a litre. Now, Metro Vancouver mayors, with the provincial government’s blessing, want to increase the gas tax by two cents a litre. As if motorists in the region don’t pay enough for gas already, the tax increase will only help pay for a portion of the transit improvements sought, including the long-awaited Evergreen SkyTrain line to Coquitlam, an 11 km route with a price tag of $ 1.4 billion. The extra two cents on gas will raise about $40 million a year, half the amount needed annually to fund the plan. So mayors also want to introduce a small vehicle levy ($10 to $40 a year) and a property tax increase. When does the bleeding stop? Road tolls may not be that far away. No doubt Metro Vancouver needs to get with the times, to expand transit and try to eliminate congestion and reduce pollution. The money has to come from somewhere, and the shift, as we’ve seen with tolls on the Golden Ears Bridge and the HST, is to tax consumption. The gas tax does that. But with salaries lagging behind inflation, and inflated housing prices that rival New York and London, not to mention an average residential property tax hike here in Maple Ridge each year of five per cent – people just don’t have that much more to give. One day, governments will have to figure out a way to cut costs, spend less, or voters will tell them. For now, we need these transit improvements to get with the 21st century, to stop just building roads. So increasing taxes is a necessary evil. But it must be done in an equitable way, like tolls on all bridges, maybe even roads; all motorists must pay, not just those who drive the most, because they don’t yet have the benefit of taking SkyTrain. —The Maple Ridge News

letters Election dates are not fixed in B.C. The
Langley Times
Editor: It is understandable why many residents in B.C. believe we have a law that fixes dates for provincial elections. Most simply do not pay attention to the details of legislation but, rather, depend on the media for guidance. It is less understandable, and disappointing, that some of the media, The Times included, continue to foster the suggestion we have a fixed election date law (The Times, opinion page, July 5). A section of the law, to which the editorial Heightened interest refers, provides the lieutenant-governor with the authority to call a provincial election whenever he or she desires, as it has always been. A following section, as introduced by former Premier Campbell’s government, schedules a date for an election should the lieutenant-governor, usually upon the advice of the premier, not choose to dissolve the provincial parliament at an earlier time. Mr. Campbell’s amendment, to the constitution act, scheduled an election, with certain perimeters, but did not create a fixed election date law. The media, and official opposition, were asleep at the time of those amendments, and did not challenge the suggestion, by the former premier, that we had fixed election dates. By way of contrast, we have fixed election dates for municipal governments. These elections are held the third Saturday, in November, every three years. We do not have fixed election dates in B.C., at the provincial level, nor would such a practice be viable if we continue to embrace the concept of a government losing a non-confidence vote in the legislature, and the subsequent events, that could include the lieutenant-governor dissolving parliament and calling a general election. All B.C. provincial parliaments have been required, by law, not to continue beyond a period of time before dissolution and subsequent general election, but not a specific date.

Buttercups beautiful but deadly
Natasha JONES/Langley Times
The profusion of buttercups in Fraser Valley fields, including the Milner escarpment, has been gorgeous to behold, but a Langley horsewoman warns that the blooms can be deadly to animals — horses in particular — if eaten.
Editor: The brilliant yellow fields of buttercups are highly dangerous to animals when eaten, especially to horses. They are poisonous, often causing colic and death. The animals do not want them and avoid unless desperately hungry. We have not seen such an abundance of yellow in grass fields ever before. With the late spring, they have sprung up in profusion if the the hay is late in being harvested. The grass and buttercups should be cut down and destroyed immediately. The fields should be plowed and reseeded as quickly as possible. Joy Richardson Langley Horse Federation
HST strengthening manufacturing industry Editor: HST opponents are fighting for a higher, 12 per cent PST-GST that will hurt consumers and hurt job generation throughout our economy and in the communities that rely on the manufacturing industry. Manufacturing is so much more than final goods. It is about production and processing. It is
about workers and their families. It is about jobs that pay higher than the average wage. The stronger the industry, the more jobs we create and protect. Manufacturing has the biggest economic footprint in our province. It is directly responsible for 200,000 direct and 200,000 indirect jobs across B.C.
We need to safeguard employees and their families. HST opponents are wrong. They are fighting for a tax that takes money away from B.C. families. That is why I am voting ‘no’ to going back to the PST-GST double tax. Peter D. Jeffrey Vice President, BC Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters
Let Tri-Cities pay First the HST, then the for their transit BC Liberals must go Editor: If the Tri-Cities need transit, then let them pay for it. The money they save in gas costs should eventually balance out the cost of the transit system. I live south of the Fraser — the fastestgrowing area in the province, yet this group of taxpayer-paid people (mayors) have determined that it is important for the Tri-Cities to have rapid transit. Excuse me, this group (mayors) has determined that all of us . . . even us south of the Fraser should pay more for our gas when we get no benefit from the expense. If I were a mayor south of the Fraser, I’d be looking over my shoulder at the next election. D. Atkinson Langley
Editor: We’ve all heard the pros and cons over the last few months regarding whether to keep or discard the HST. One way or another some group is going to be at a disadvantage. But that’s not the point, and shouldn’t figure into the referendum. The government would love to pit group against group and eventually squeak out a victory. This is an issue of deceit and the eventual mistrust that should and must always follow deceit. The Liberals’ placating offer of reducing the HST (after it’s made a bundle of money between now and 2014) is actually an insult to the
intelligence of the citizens of this province. It’s obvious bribery. There is a principle at stake here. Dishonest government must be dealt with harshly. It makes no difference that Gordon Campbell is no longer at the helm. The mindset remains. So, here is my suggestion. First we eliminate the HST and then we eliminate the Liberal party in the next election. After that, if the newly elected government wants to initiate tax reform, it can do it openly and honestly with the electorate. Rick Bruhn Langley

Rich Coleman and his constituency executive assistant Sheryl Strongitharm were injured in a car accident on July 4. Strongitharm was driving the MLA for Fort Langley-Aldergrove along Mt. Lehman Road, on their way to the airport, when she swerved to avoid an orange traffic post that was sitting in the road. The car caught the soft shoulder and as she tried to correct the steering, the car went out of control and hit a ditch. It slid on its side for approximately 100 feet. Both suffered extensive bruising but
no broken bones.Coleman said that the deep sides of the ditch prevented the car from rolling. The vehicle was totaled. Emergency responders pulled Strongitharm out through the back of the car, placed her on a back board and took her to hospital. She was released the same day. Coleman was suspended in such an awkward position that he could not open the passenger door. A man who was one of the first people on the scene wrenched open the passenger door, and another man helped pull the minister out. Coleman suffered injuries to his neck, shoulder, lower back, chest and left knee. Both were wearing seat belts.

Interior Lumber Association president Jim Hackett (at the podium) and forestry industry spokesmen (from left) Aaron Moore, Paul Tabuchi, Rob Mitchell and Hans Baer spoke in favour of retaining the HST at a Tuesday (July 5) press conference in Aldergrove.
Lumber companies stand behind HST KURT LANGMANN Black Press
A group of small businessmen from the Fraser Valley say that the implementation of the HST in the province has been a benefit for all who work in and invest in the forestry industry. At a press conference Tuesday morning (July 5) at Tamlin International Homes’ office in Aldergrove, Jim Hackett, president of the Interior Lumber Association called the 12 per cent PST-GST “an inefficient, expensive system. “The HST has made forestry more competitive and created new jobs. Going back to the PST will put our industry, our members’ job security and our province at risk.” Paul Tabuchi, a co-owner of Tamlin, said that the savings from the HST were “re-invested in our business” and enabled Tamlin to bring in new health benefits for their workers. Rob Mitchell, president of BW Creative Wood Industries Ltd., said the HST “has significantly reduced
our administrative burden. “The old system was much more cumbersome and more complex. We can now do it on-line.” One of the biggest drawbacks of the PST was its complexity and inconsistency in the law’s interpretation, said Hans Baer of Wide Plank Hardwood. “We were a victim of PST,” said Baer, noting that six years ago a PST auditor had told him not to charge the PST on certain items considered exempt from the tax. “Then last year another PST auditor told us that was wrong, and we were made to pay $106,000 in back taxes and penalty,” said the chagrined Baer. Aaron Moore of Brian Moore Log Homes agreed with Baer, noting that “PST audits being done right now show that they have been assessing customers differently. “It’s an unfair application of tax that many customers don’t realize because it’s hidden. “Tax laws should be simpler, like the HST is, and applied evenly to all consumers,” said Moore.
Traffic fines help keep Langley families safe More than $1.6 million in revenue from traffic fines is being returned to Langley, and the money is being directed for essential services and to keep families safe. The provincial government announced on July 5 that Langley will receive a $1,612,780 grant from the Strategic Community Investment Fund. It is topped up by the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing program which helps municipalities that directly pay for police enforcement costs. The grants come from ticket fines and court-imposed fines on violation tickets, the amount of money a
municipality receives based on its contribution to total municipal policing costs. This money will provide additional funding for local policing services and crime prevention programs. “Langley families want safe communities,” said Langley MLA Mary Polak. “Using the money from traffic fines means less demand on taxpayers for crime prevention.” Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman said that moeny from this program “will allow us to put more police on our roads and provide additional resources for crime prevention.”

Rash of break-ins prompts warning Police offer home security tips in response to residential crime spree in Aldergrove A spike in residential break and enters in the Aldergrove area is keeping Langley RCMP busy. A dozen homes and one detached garage were hit by thieves during the daytime hours between June 27 and July 3. Many of these properties are larger lots, located in rural areas with few neighbours. In four of these incidents, entry was gained into residences by kicking in the door. In others, the thieves got in through open or unlocked windows and patio doors. Several of the homes were ransacked, and many items, mainly electronics, were stolen. TVs, both flat screen and older models, laptops, iPods, video cameras and gaming systems were taken. The thieves also stole several pieces of fine and costume jewelry, a mountain bike, a snowboard, coins and cigarettes. Police said that all of these B&Es occurred during the day, while residents were out of the home. Members of the RCMP’s Lower Mainland Integrated Forensic Identification Section (Ident) were called in to assist general duty members with gathering evidence from these scenes. Langley RCMP media relations spokesperson Const. Jillian Roberts suggested a number of precautions residents can take to prevent breakins while they are out: Q Lock all doors and windows every time you leave, even if you are stepping out just for a few minutes;
Q Use a deadbolt with a striker plate using 3” screws into framing; Q Lock horizontal sliding windows and doors with a rod or dowelling; Q Leave the radio on; Q Secure glass or patio doors with anti-lift devices to prevent doors from being lifted off their tracks; Q Improve visibility by trimming back tall hedges that block windows visible by neighbours or the street; Q Mark belongings for identification and record serial numbers of electronics; Q Keep valuables in a safe or safety deposit box; Q Install an alarm system and have it monitored locally, not abroad; Q Secure window air conditioner or fans to prevent removal and easy access, and Q Install motion lights. If you return home and find signs of forced entry, do not go inside. Call police from a neighbour’s phone or a cellphone. Do not touch anything to prevent loss of possible evidence. If you have security concerns for your property or are unsure if your residence is effectively prepared, a home security check can be booked through Block Watch. Call 604-5323213. Concerned residents are also invited to join Block Watch. Anyone with information that might help identify the suspect or suspects involved with the breakins is asked to call the Langley detachment at 604-532-3200 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Fish marking kits available Water polluted by sediment, animal waste, oil, swimming pool water, driveway debris and toxic household and industrial compounds that run into storm drains directly impacts fish and their habitat. The water is not treated, the Langley Environmental Partners Society points out, because it does not enter the domestic sewage system. In urban areas, storm drains on paved streets and parking lots collect rainwater which includes debris deposited on roads, sidewalks and driveways. It takes only one drop of motor oil to turn 50 litres of water unlivable for water species. For the month of July residents can help the environment by taking part in the fourth Storm Drain Marking Challenge organized by LEPS. Participants will be asked to mark storm drains with the iconic yellow fish that alerts the community that all drains lead to fish habitat. Prizes for the most drains marked will be awarded.

Four-string folks Increasing popularity and respect for the instrument brings a ukulele circle to South Surrey BOAZ JOSEPH Black Press
While getting his portrait taken, musician Gary Cyr is asked by a photographer to make a small adjustment to the position of his guitar. “The what?” he asks, with no hint of irony. There may be a bit of noise in the room, but he’s certainly heard the request. Cyr has made his point: Give the ukulele the respect it deserves. Time was that the little acoustic four-string don’t-call-it-a-guitar was dismissed as a kitschy musical novelty worthy of little more than Hawaiian nostalgia, a vaudevillian stage act or a Tiny-Tim-esque falsetto rendition of Tiptoe Through the Tulips. Times and attitudes are changing. In June, for example, 40 people showed up at the third and most recent gathering of the South Surrey/White Rock Ukulele Circle. It was founded in April by alumni from the Vancouver Ukulele Circle, which was set up by Ralph Shaw in 2000. The format is the same as in the founding group: Visitors, regardless of their level of skill, strum and sing along as a group to familiar folk, pop and rock tunes. Novices need not be afraid, as chords are displayed next to the lyrics in the 150-page song book. “Playing ukulele has a way of bringing people together,” says Cyr, who lives in North Delta and also teaches ukulele at the Kennedy Seniors Centre. “It’s a social thing, like nothing else.” Venturesome participants are also given the opportunity to play solo in
front of the crowd with a standing ovation for first-timers. “People are just feeling so good and having such a wonderful time.” Like the Vancouver Ukulele Circle, the South Surrey group is growing, and the clientele is getting less grey over time. Some of the younger visitors are players from the Langley Ukulele Ensemble, a respected pool of talent. “Langley seems to be the home of Canadian ukulele,” says Newton’s Braden Deans, an organizer of the Surrey circle. Deans, who has played the uke for four years, credits much of the new interest in the instrument, especially among the younger crowd, to YouTube. “I got into the ukulele because I heard Amanda Palmer play Radiohead’s Creep on it.” While some musicians and the public may scoff at the ukulele as being an illegitimate instrument or a toy, there’s a growing online following of the likes of James Hill, Julia Nunes, Molly Lewis and virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro, who has taken the ukulele (in his case, a tenor) to new heights with his renditions of George Harrison’s While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Of course, novices start at the beginning, but the learning is easy. It’s possible to spend about $60 for a decent starter ukulele. Anything cheaper (new) is barely playable. “I can teach you a handful of chords in just a few minutes and you’ll be off and playing,” says Cyr. “From that point, the sky’s the limit.” “I think it’s not as intimidating as a guitar or a piano,” Deans explains. “People can just pick it up and realize it’s a serious instrument.”
Boaz JOSEPH / BLACK PRESS
Gary Cyr (left) and Braden Deans of the South Surrey White Rock Ukulele Circle, which gathers on the last Saturday of each month at Semiahmoo House. There’s a folksy dynamic to the shoulder-to-shoulder huddling of ukulele players that doesn’t happen with larger instruments, says Cyr, who adds that recent ukulele circles included accompaniments by
acoustic bass, mandolin and banjo ukulele players. “It’s so fun and easy to get involved.” The South Surrey/White Rock Ukulele Circle meets on the last Saturday of each month
from 2-4 p.m. at Semiahmoo House Society, 15306 24 Ave. Visitors can come and just listen or sing without instruments or just play. For more information, email Braden Deans at bdeans@gmail.com.

Sundaes on Tuesday I
am not normally a big ice cream eater but I do have fond childhood memories of what seemed to be a super huge bowl of “tiger-tiger” ice cream that my Dad would serve us when my mom went out after dinner. It was his favourite, and for some strange reason when mom was home the portions were suspiciously smaller. But I digress. Over the years I have developed an affinity for really good ice cream and have basically taken a miss on the cheap stuff in favour of maxing out my daily caloric intake through Food for other forms — like Thought white wine. ANGIE QUAALE I have a tremendous appreciation for homemade ice cream and the virtually endless opportunities it affords for creativity. Recently, I have noticed a revival of the classic ice cream sundae and I see it popping up in some form or another on most restaurant menus. They all seem to be jumping on the chilly bandwagon. The super fancy restaurants dress up their house-made sour cream ice sorbetos with tasty embellishments like salted balsamic caramel, while the family style restaurants like Denny’s are apparently making a caramel bacon sundae that is really quite delicious (or so I have “heard”). Regardless of where you eat it or how you decide to top it, ice cream sundaes can truly be the perfect summer dessert. Making your own ice cream is an easy thing to do but it takes time, something we all claim to be short of. By simply investing in an inexpensive ice cream maker you will be sourcing ingredients and fleshing out ideas all summer long. Trust me — it’s addictive and a ton of fun. The combinations — like when you make pizza — are endless, and half the fun is in creating the “perfect” batch. Maybe for you it’s fresh strawberries with mint from your garden or double chocolate raspberry. Perhaps it’s beer ice cream with peanuts, brie cheese ice cream

Making homemade ice cream with fresh ingredients can be time consuming but it is not too difficult to do, says Angie Quaale. or even an old school custard with fresh sour cherries. For me, it’s usually a classic extra rich double vanilla and I like to ramp it up with some killer homemade toppings like hot fudge, bananas foster, grilled pineapple or buttery caramel. Regardless of how you top it or scoop it, the first few licks of a homemade ice cream cone are almost certain to take you back as well.

World’s best coming to town Langley Events Centre selected to host World Junior A Challenge Nov. 7-13 GARY AHUJA Times Sports
A new facility, great location and strong business plan were all key elements in helping Langley land an international hockey championship. Hockey Canada, in partnership with the Canadian Junior Hockey League, B.C. Hockey League and B.C. Hockey announced that the World Junior A Hockey Challenge will be played at the Langley Events Centre. The tournament, which features two Canadian teams — Canada West and Canada East — the United States, Sweden, Russia and the Czech Republic, is set for Nov. 7-13. The United States have won the past three gold medals. “This is a tremendous opportunity for hockey fans in our community to watch Team Canada compete for gold in their own backyard,” said Jared Harman, the LEC’s director of facilities,

leave a positive financial legacy in the community for minor hockey,” McIntosh said. The Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance worked together with Hockey Canada to undertake a Sport Tourism Economic Assessment Model (STEAM) pro assessment, which measures the economic impact of an event on a community. The study found there was $2.2 million in gross economic activity from last year’s championships. “Obviously it is going to have a huge impact on the hotels and restaurants,” Harman said. One of the new additions to the tournament, which was first held in 2006, is the inclusion of a CJHL Prospects Event. Forty NHL draft-eligible players from the various Canadian junior A leagues will be split into two teams and face off for the assembled scouts. Since the tournament was first held in 2006, 118 alumni of the event have been drafted by NHL teams, including Kyle Turris, who was taken third overall in the 2007 NHL draft by the Phoenix.
Brad Thiessen says motivation after a spectacular 2010/11 hockey season shouldn’t be a problem. Thiessen lit up the American Hockey League last season, leading all goaltenders in the league in victories (35), which set a new franchise records for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. He also posted a Penguins team record with seven shutouts. Along the way, he posted a 1.94 goals against average and a .922 save percentage in 46 games, and for his efforts, Thiessen won the AHL’s Aldege ‘Baz’ Bastien Award as the AHL’s top goalie and he shared the Harry ‘Hap’ Holmes Memorial Award with fellow Penguins netminder John Curry, as the duo allowed Brad the fewest regular-season goals Thiessen against. But while some players might get comfortable and rest on their laurels, all Thiessen had to do was watch the NHL awards banquet last month. After watching Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas accept winning the league’s Vezina Trophy as top goaltender — to go along with his Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe Trophy as post-season MVP — Thomas spoke about what came next. “Now the challenge for him was making sure he was better the next season and worked on his game this summer,” Thiessen said about the message he took from the speech. “So the same goes for me, just doing everything I can to make sure I am in the best position to be successful next year.” Thiessen, a 25-year-old from Aldergrove, signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The contract pays him $525,000 at the NHL level. The restricted free agent originally signed with the organization in 2009 as a free agent following three seasons at Northeastern University. In his last year at the Boston school, he was a Hobey Baker candidate as the top collegiate player in the United States. Thiessen was more than happy to re-sign with Pittsburgh. “They were happy with how my progress has come along since I joined the organization,”Thiessen said. “I really like being a part of the Pittsburgh organization; they have treated me really well and given me a good opportunity so I am excited to join on for another year.” To get ready for the season,Thiessen is working out locally with TnT Hockey Performance Training, which is run out of Revolution Martial Arts and Fitness, by Mike Thompson and Tyler Jackson. The Penguins have Marc-Andre Fleury established as the starter and signed through the 2014-15 season. Back-up goaltender Brent Johson is entering the final season of his contract. “Your mindset always has to be that you want to push the guys in front of you and (those) are the guys in front of me right now,” Thiessen said. “So I have to do everything in my power to show the guys in Pittsburgh that I deserve a chance at some point. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton was upset in the second round of the playoffs, despite Thiessen bettering his regular season numbers. In a dozen post-season games Thiessen’s GAA and save percentage dropped to 1.67 and .940, respectively.

Jr. Thunder punch playoff ticket GARY AHUJA Times Sports
It may just be the biggest goal in the short history of the Langley junior A Thunder. Sean Lundstrom scored with less than four minutes remaining — after Langley had blown a four-goal lead — to earn the Thunder a 9-9 draw against the Delta Islanders. Goaltender Keenan Lambright stopped all five shots in the 10-minute overtime period, and finished with 35 saves. Adam Will, Brandon Bull and Reegan Comeault scored two goals apiece, and Max Weselowski and Eric Ransom had one goal each. Ransom also had three assists. And while a victory would have been nice, the single point clinched a post-season berth for the Langley lacrosse squad for the first time. The Thunder were hosting Delta on Thursday night at the Langley Events Centre in Langley’s B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League regular season finale. While his players were happy post-game, coach Chris Levis said he didn’t think what they had accomplished had completely sunk in for a lot of the team. The single point left the Thunder with a
6-14-1 record and 13 points, three ahead of the seventh-place Burnaby Jr. Lakers who have one game remaining. The Lakers held the tiebreaker if the two teams had wound up finishing tied. Langley recovered from an 0-4 start to the season, but really seemed to turn things around when Levis was promoted from assistant to head coach following the resignation of coach Reynold Comeault. “I think after the slow start, the guys just settled down,” he said. “We have a lot of talent, a lot of potential in the room and the guys realized that. “It was not a question of us not having talent or work ethic, it was the guys having a little confidence and swagger.” “I think this is an important point in the juncture for this group,” said general manager Brock Rose, who began assembling the roster three years ago and targeting kids from Langley, Maple Ridge and Abbotsford. Rose was especially impressed that his big players came up with
clutch performances when the team really needed them to do so. Over the past three years, the Thunder won a combined four games. And the good thing is, Langley only loses two players from its roster next season, while some of their competition loses anywhere from eight to 12. The core of the roster still has two years of junior eligibility remaining. “These weren’t supposed to be our best years,” Rose said. “(But) we feel very strongly in this group we have.” Langley awaits its first round opponent, which will be either Victoria or Delta. The teams will play a bestof-three playoff series. ••••• The road woes continue for the Langley Thunder. The senior A
lacrosse squad dropped a 12-8 decision to the league-leading New Westminster Salmonbellies on Thursday night in New Westminster, snapping Langley’s four-game winning streak. The Thunder remain winless as the visitors this season in Western Lacrosse Association play at 0-5-1. But at the Langley Events Centre, the team is a sparkling 6-1. The Salmonbellies led from start to finish in the game, scoring the game’s first three goals and leading 5-2 after one period. Andrew Potter had two goals and an assist and Kyle McEwen chipped in with a pair of goals. Kyle Belton added four assists. Langley holds third spot in the seventeam WLA standings.

Perhaps the only blemish on Langley Athletic FC’s first season in the United Soccer League was the fact the local side did not qualify for the post-season. Playing in the USL’s Northwest Division, Langley finished with a 5-2-2 mark in their inaugural season. But unfortunately for the squad, they lost their final two games and finished second to Surrey’s Revolution Football Club
3 2 N D
(7-1-1). Only the top team from the division advances. But other than that disappointment, club manager Ewen Dobbie was very impressesd with the league and plans to field another team next spring. Dobbie is also looking to field a local team to compete either in the Fraser Valley or Vancouver Metro league this fall and winter.

Food Allergies 1. Do you have low energy? 2. Are you suffering from chronic sinus infections or respiratory illnesses? 3. Does someone in your family have eczema or a skin rash that never really disappears? 4. Do you feel bloated, gassy or even feel sleepy soon after eating a meal?
These may be symptoms of food allergies. The 5 most common allergenic foods are: Dairy (milk & cheese), Soy, Egg, Wheat, and Tomato. Upon ingestion of allergen, it causes inďŹ&#x201A;ammation in the gut which leads to â&#x20AC;&#x153;leaky gut syndromeâ&#x20AC;?. Without the defense of a proper intestinal lining, we have no protection against food allergens. Free ďŹ&#x201A;owing allergens in the bloodstream weaken our immune system producing excessive mucous leading to chronic sinusitis. The compromised intestinal tract becomes less effective, producing symptoms of bloating, gas and fatigue; and the toxic buildup places a burden on our liver and skin leading to eczema. Our doctors at Revive Naturopathic Health Clinic use the most advanced laboratory test to screen your blood against 95+ different foods. We will place you on a health program to prevent and heal your symptoms of food allergies. Our naturopathic physicians are also experts in cardiovascular disease, detoxiďŹ cation, weight loss, hormonal issues and sleep disorders.
