Mural will be rebuilt after vandalism

A Walnut Grove art project has been destroyed, but it will be rebuilt to be more vandal-resistant. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Vandals may have destroyed a student mural in Walnut Grove, but it will return again. The mural, created by 44 Grade 11 and 12 art students at Walnut Grove Secondary, was unveiled June 27 on a bridge that crosses a ravine behind the school. A partnership between the school, the Yorkson Watershed Stewardship Committee, and Langley Township, the project was intended to beautify the bridge that links walking trails near 208th Street to ones around the secondary school. By July 2, however, it had been torn off, with the panels tossed into the ravine. Barb and Joe Eso, who live nearby, came by on July 8 to check out the mural, but a neighbour told them they had missed seeing it already. They were glad to hear it will be replaced.

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

The last remaining fragment of a long bridge mural is still hanging on to one end of the railing near Walnut Grove Secondary. “We’re so disappointed that somebody could be so mean spirited,” Barb said. Joe Binahan of Artistic Design said his firm is putting up the replacement free of charge, to help out the non-profit project. Binahan said they’ll be looking at ways to keep the new mural on more securely than the old one. The adhesive wasn’t “biting” to the metal bridge railing as well as it could have, Binahan said. He’s looking at using an

enamel paint under the mural to create a good surface. Reducing the height of the mural slightly may also make it harder to pry off around the edges. Ironically, the mural was designed to be somewhat resistant to vandalism from the start. It was created of smooth material that could be cleaned if spray paint or felt tipped pens were used on its surface. Art teacher Scott Gordon got a call about the incident on Wednesday, about a day after

the mural had been destroyed. The school’s principal recovered most of the pieces, he said. Gordon has an idea of the sort of punishment he’d like to deal out to the vandals. “I think it would be great to find out who the kids are and make them take an art class,” he said. It would make them realize how much effort went into something they casually destroyed. Gordon was happy to see that Binahan has already said he’ll replace the mural. “It’s great that we’re able to come back as a community and get it back up,” he said. Unfortunately, the mural is located in an isolated area, and there’s no way to keep an eye on it 24/7. “Hopefully, it’ll stand up better next time,” he said. He is still planning to go ahead with his project to create another mural for the opposite side of the bridge’s railing next year with his art students. The art project was partially inspired by Susan Kovach, a science teacher and founding member of the Yorkson Watershed Stewardship Committee. Kovach passed away nine years ago.

Policing

Drivers caught Police scooped up some drunk and drugged drivers at the start of the summer crackdown. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley Mounties arrested several people for driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol while launching the summer version of the CounterAttack program late last weekend. On Friday, June 31 officers from the Langley RCMP detachment set themselves up in the

southbound lanes of the Golden Ears Bridge. They handed out two 24-hour roadside suspensions for drugs, found two drivers who failed roadside sobriety tests, gave a three-day warning and impounded a car, and found three prohibited drivers. That was in addition to locating 18 vehicles with mechanical defects in this one campaign. By far the most common issues the officers saw was either a lack of seatbelts, or the use of cellphones, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the local RCMP.

Ottawa announces jobs Fort Langley was the site for a federal announcement. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Canadian Culture Minister James Moore was at the Langley Centenntial Museum and Fort Langley National Historic Site Friday to announce the government’s $12.7 million jobs program for museums through the Young Canada Works initiative. But he couldn’t escape reporters’ questions about the continuing senator spending scandal and by the end of the day, was appointed the interim aboriginal affairs minister thanks to a new scandal. Conservative MP John Duncan, the Aborginal Affairs Minister, resigned after improperly advocating to a tax court on behalf of a constituent. The $12.7 million announcement isn’t new money but Ottawa has committed to a two-year funding, instead of the normal one year commitment. The money will be used to fund 2,500 summer and short-term jobs at museums and historic sites. The money, just over $19,000, will fund three positions at Langley Centennial Museum.

Moore spoke at a formal announcement July 5 in the gallery of the museum, stressing the importance of preserving and interpreting Canadian heritage and history. He said it’s all the more important because students are not necessarily learning history in school. “[In] only four of 13 [provinces and territories] is it mandatory for students to take a history class to graduate,” he noted. “We need to make sure students understand history. Afterwards, Moore toured the Fort Langley National Historic Site.

Department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development is likely to take on a much higher profile in the Harper government. Langley MP Mark Warawa was quick to laud Moore in his newest role. “I believe he will do a great job,” said Warawa. “It (aboriginal affairs) is a very important responsibility, but every job he’s been given, he’s shown he’s more than capable. If you’re looking for someone to fill a gap, James Moore is one of the first who comes to mind.” Moore was first elected in 2000 at the age of 24. Following the 2008 election, Moore, who speaks French and English, was appointed heritage and official languages minister. In 2011, he was reelected for the fifth time.

CounterAttack saves lives

The summer CounterAttack got underway this weekend. RCMP have already thwarted a number of potentially deadly drivers as this season’s offensive launched against offensive drivers got underway in time for Canada Day. That’s significant, not only for the lucky people who weren’t killed by drunk and other dangerous drivers, but in a historical context – ICBC reports that traffic crashes claim an average of three lives in B.C. every Canada Day, kicking off what has become the worst season of the year for drinking and driving fatalities and injuries. CounterAttack is aimed especially at drivers who persist in drinking before taking a place behind the wheel of a vehicle. And it’s been working. In the first 30 months of B.C.’s Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) Email with program, fatalities due to alcohol-related crashes have dropped to an average of 56 per year, from the previous five-year average of 114. But police aren’t picky, they’ll do their best to clear the roads of any drivers who put their own and others’ lives in jeopardy with their offensive driving habits. Along with alcohol, distractions and impatience result in death and injury all over the province’s roads. Plan ahead for your summer trips. Don’t leave matters to the last minute. For instance, if there’s a ferry in your schedule, be aware of the ferry schedule – give yourself plenty of time to get there, so you don’t feel pressured into excessive speed or risky behaviour on the roads. Leave your cellphone in your pocket. Although hands-free devices are legal, studies show that they increase the risk of being involved in an accident to the same level as hand-held devices – so pull over to take the call (or let it wait… how important is your life, or the lives of those sharing your vehicle or the road?). And save the booze for after you get where you’re going. – B.G.

Editor

Thank you to all residents and guests for helping to make the event a great success. Special Thanks to

Local government

City by-election very necessary

Dear Editor, Thanks to Langley City Councillor Dave Hall for standing up for democracy. In the face of the 4-1 head-shaking decision of council to forego the need for a by-election after Mayor Peter Fassbender was elected MLA, leaving Langley mayor-less for 16 months, Hall was the only one who showed intestinal fortitude or leadership. Being the only councillor to get it can be daunting. But it beats the opposite. Congratulations may be in order for Mayor Peter Fassbender and his squeakthrough victory over Jagrup Brar, but such congratulations to the council for abrogating their responsibilities… ah… not so much. Councillors Rosemary Wallace, Ted Schaffer, Gayle Martin, and Jack Arnold have failed Politics 101 and should be ashamed. Instead they seem to revel in it; but what is there really to revel in? Reveling in preventing the main reason our soldiers fight and die for this country, the right to vote and have a democratic structure? I don’t think so. Reveling in their ignorance, not understanding Coun. Hall’s remarks about the council acting more like a Politburo (Soviet Union’s unelected policy-making body, under communist leaders from Lenin to Stalin to Khruschev up through Putin)? Unlikely. Instead of demonstrating a shred of understanding, the councillors virtually celebrated their indifference of democracy, with such non-sensical comments like Coun. Wallace’s claim that

“this council has been well directed by staff.” Oh, and what does that have to do with the price of tomatoes? Nothing. The decision has everything to do with a misunderstanding of the role that mayor and council, as pre-eminent representatives of the minions that elect them, a misunderstanding reinforced by such headin-the-sand comments as uttered by Coun. Arnold: “I think we have been around long enough to handle things.” And so said Stalin, around from 1927-1953, or Khruschev, from 1957-1964.

Sure, you must be thinking, these characters don’t compare with our councillors here in Langley. And yet, they both would agree that elections are overrated. Why go and have an election, especially at the princely sum of $45,000? ’Tis a fine way (not) to run a government. Shame is the only word that they should revel in. Hopefully the citizens shall remember this slap in the face the next time they have a chance to do what the councillors said was not that important – vote – in the next election. Steven Faraher-Amidon, Surrey

Charity

Dear Editor, I would like to thank all those who came out in June to the Langley Golf Centre to the First Annual “Ring a Bell Win a Car” golf FUNdraiser in support of the Langley Lodge seniors assisted care centre. We had great weather and a fantastic venue to raise funds for our elderly. While no one won a car (there were some close calls) lots of super prizes were given away in the early bird draw and the skills competitions. The putting and chipping were lots of fun, but the long drive marshmallow seemed to be the biggest hit. Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves, and many have volunteered for next year. Many participants said they will be back next year after they study the science of driving a marshmallow. What is the optimum temperature of a marshmallow for a long drive? We are receiving many innovative suggestions for next year. We hope to create fun for the whole family. Our sponsors are amazing! It is so special and heart warming to know we have such generous and caring merchants in our community. They are truly special. Most of all, I want to thank our “Ring a Bell, Win a Car” organizing committee and volunteers; without them this would have remained a thought. Together we have introduced a unique concept of golf fundraising while raising close to $4,000 in our first attempt. Thank you all, and see you next year, Doug Jensen, Langley Lodge For more letters to the editor visit... www.langleyadvance.com – Click on Opinion.

Copious amounts of beer, coolers, pizza, wings, sausages, and cheesecake were consumed at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre Friday – all in the name of Langley children. Three of Langley’s Rotary Clubs once again came together to host the annual Tip ’n’ Taste event, and a larger than average crowd was in attendance, said event chair David Truman. “I think this is the most people we’ve had in the past five years,” Truman added, looking out over the sea of people milling about in the top-floor banquet rooms. He estimated there were about 500 people in attendance for the threeand-a-half-hour event. That should translate to

Destination Specialist

A great option is visiting one of the many spray parks located throughout the community to cool the kids down on a hot summer day. Locations include: Brookswood Park, Murrayville Outdoor Activity Park, Philip Jackman Park, Walnut Grove Community Park, Willoughby Community Park, Douglas Park and City Park. Outdoor pools are also great options for all ages to take a dip, get some exercise or just splash around. If you’re visiting Al Anderson Memorial Pool, the Fort Langley Outdoor Pool or the Aldergrove Outdoor Pool don’t forget that sunscreen! Other indoor options include the Walnut Grove Community Centre and W.C. Blair Recreation Centre. This summer an exciting event of physical competition is coming to Langley. From July 12th to 14th the 2013 Special Olympics BC Summer Games will kick off when over 1,100 athletes coming from all over BC and the Yukon, compete in ten different events around the community. Visit www.sobclangley.org for more information and come cheer on these amazing athletes! The 2nd Annual Prospera Valley GranFondo, a cycling event taking riders on routes starting and ending in Fort Langley, throughout the Fraser Valley was a hit with local and regional riders last year. You have probably seen participants training around the community for this year’s ride on July 21st. The 2013 Ride Into History is a motorcycling event supporting the Salvation Army which includes a poker ride also starting in Fort Langley with stops at historic locations from Langley to Chilliwack. Also planned is concert entertainment, activities at the Fort Langley National Historic Site, a carnival and pancake breakfast throughout the weekend of July 2628th. Every season provides a reason to celebrate in Langley and this is no exception. Our many comfortable hotels have all kinds of great packages for both locals and visitors to enjoy.

History

Special Olympics: changing lives for 45 years

The first Special Olympics sports competition was held in Chicago in 1968.

Coquitlam athlete Mandy Manzardo met Dr. Frank Hayden at the 2010 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games.

n the early 1960s, testing of children with intellectual disabilities revealed that they were only half as physically fit as their peers who did not have intellectual disabilities. It was assumed that their low fitness levels were a direct result of their intellectual disabilities. Dr. Frank Hayden, a Toronto researcher, questioned this assumption. His research showed that if provided the opportunity, those with intellectual disabilities could acquire the physical skills necessary to participate in sport and to become physically fit. other activities – and not dwell on what Dr. Hayden began searching for ways they could not do. to develop a national sports program for hroughout the 1960s, Eunice conpeople with intellectual disabilities. His tinued her pioneering work, both as work came to the attention of the Kennedy the driving force behind President Foundation in Washington, D.C., and led to John F.

from 26 U.S. states and Canada competing in track and field, and swimming. To ensure Canada’s representation at the competition, Dr. Hayden called on Harry “Red” Foster, the renowned broadcaster, businessman and humanitarian, for support. Foster accompanied a Special Olympics floor hockey team from Toronto to the competition, and came away inspired by what he had seen. n June 9, 1969, the very first Special Olympics national competition was held, in Toronto, Ont., less than one year after the sport movement was born on Chicago’s Soldier Field. It attracted 1,400 individuals with intellectual disabilities from towns and cities across Canada. Competing in athletics, aquatics, and floor

hockey, they joined Foster, who worked tirelessly to bring the sport movement to this country. Today, Special Olympics in Canada now enriches the lives of more than 34,000 children, youth and adults participating in 18 winter and summer sport programs as well as youth programs. Special Olympics also touches the lives of their family, friends, and supporters, watching and supporting their athletes as they develop self-confidence, skills, and lasting friendships in their year-round sport programs run by their local Special Olympics clubs. pecial Olympics BC started out in 1980 with two weekends of games and about 500 participants. Thirty-three years later, SOBC is providing year-round, high-quality sports programs and competitions for more than 4,100 athletes in 55 communities around the province, with the vital assistance of more than 3,200 trained, dedicated volunteers. The program is run by SOBC Locals in up to 18 sports. It gives athletes the chance to gain sport skills and improve their health while enjoying training that could take them to competitions at local, regional, national, and international levels. And the benefits from Special Olympics BC programs go well beyond the basics: athletes experience joy and acceptance, cultivate friendships and self-confidence, and feel empowered to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

Volunteerism

Coaches making the difference

Mission staff and coaches play a vital role in the Special Olympics’ success.

ncredible bonds develop between the coaches and volunteers who teach, encourage, and laugh with the Special Olympics athletes in their programs, helping the athletes build their skills and confidence and getting so much in return. “It is such an honour to work with Special Olympics athletes,” said longtime coach Harvey Hunter. “From acceptance to generosity, they teach me as much, if not more, than what I teach them.” Hunter’s dedication has earned him a spot in the SOBC Hall of Fame. More than 300 volunteer coaches and mission staff will play a critical part in the 2013 SOBC Summer Games experience in Langley, helping the athletes on their regional teams be at their best during the Games and supporting them to achieve their goals. SOBC Quesnel coach Rick Prosk is the winner of the 2012 SOBC Grassroots Coach Award. He will help helm a soccer team at the 2013 Provincial Games next weekend. Prosk is a true difference maker,

according to those who watch him in action with SOBC Quesnel. Prosk is the head coach of soccer and assistant coach of curling for SOBC Quesnel, and he is lauded for his coaching excellence, his strengths as a leader and mentor, and his abundant support of athletes both on and beyond the fields of play. “Rick adapts his coaching techniques to strengthen relationships with each athlete – he promotes fair play and is a positive role model providing consistent leadership qualities upon which athletes have come to rely,” his nominators wrote. “He is continuously bringing forward ideas to provide maximum opportunities in our local for athletes to enhance every aspect of their lives daily, weekly, monthly, and year after year.” In the eight years that Prosk has been with SOBC Quesnel, he has shown a willingness to go above and beyond for the athletes. Wherever there might be holes that could impact SOBC Quesnel’s athletes, Prosk never fails to rise to the occasion with his ideas, his time, his leadership, and his amazing support. he award nomination listed an incredible amount of creative and valuable initiatives that Prosk has championed for the good of Quesnel athletes.

This includes several instances where he has stepped up to help with extra programs to ensure athletes will have the opportunity to participate, as he has done in recent years with SOBC Quesnel’s curling and five-pin bowling programs. rosk’s local athletes going to the Games can’t wait to compete in Langley. This will be the first provincial Games experience for soccer player Max Nelson. “I think it’s going to be amazing,” he said. “It’s going to be a trip to remember, and we’ll meet new people.” Nelson, who has been a Special Olympics athlete for five years, says meeting new people is his favourite part of Special Olympics. He was very excited when he found out he had qualified for the 2013 SOBC Summer Games. Last year, his team finished tops in the Soccer Regional Qualifier they attended in Mission, a thrilling achievement that Max names as his favourite Special Olympics moment to date. “We won the regional qualifiers in soccer last year. It was really fun,” Max said, adding that it was important to him because “you achieve something in your life.” When adding to athlete experiences beyond the field of play that instill this kind of confidence,

Prosk is once again a force to be reckoned with. His initiatives bring about learning in both sport and life skills. He has championed everything from fundraising initiatives to implementation of Healthy Athletes programming that brings

about significant benefits for athletes. He also serves as athlete coordinator, a position he took the initiative to create, using it to meet regularly with the athlete rep committee and provide support and assistance to them.

Ginger would likely enjoy living with another dog but when it comes to cats, she’ll chase them for miles, so no kitty cats for this girl.

“I never thought this ride would last so long. With only a two-year contract with the Township and a building not suited for the Third World, let alone an official government office in one of the most prosperous countries in the world, our little team came together each and every day to fight the good fight,” Baker said. “And fight we did.” It’s changed a lot in the past decade, and he offered recent numbers to show how significant a contribution LAPS has made to the community in that time. As of the end of May of this year, their records show that 7,950 dogs and 2,747 cats came through the doors. While most find their way back to their original home, some must be adopted out into new homes, and of those 1,408 dogs and 2,395 cats have found their own “furry tail endings,” Baker said. In that same window of time, animal control officers have responded to 15,297 complaints and 37,684 dog licences have been sold. “Most amazing of all, our volunteers have logged more than 47,000 volunteer hours doing all that needs to be done. I sure think that’s pretty darn amazing,” Baker said. In addition to giving thanks, Baker said the open house has also become the perfect time to kickoff ticket sales for the fall gala, as well as simultaneously starting ticket sales for their annual Dream Vacation Lottery. The response is always “tremen-

The sixth annual fundraising gala is being dubbed Snow White’s Enchanted Forest and will be a medieval affair on Nov. 2 at Cascades Casino. “This is our one chance each year to raise the money that we need to

keep doing what we do,” Baker said. “The $60,000 raised each year goes directly to making more Furry Tail Endings come true for hundreds of dogs and cats that will need us in the coming year. Not only is it a whole lot of fun, but it is crucial to our success,” he said. Tickets are currently on sale at the shelter for $100 each before Oct. 20. The shelter is located at 26220 56th Ave. or can be reached at 604-8575055.

Thunder newcomers adding to star power

Mark Matthews, Dane Dobbie, and Adam Jones are making an immediate impact with the defending WLA champions.

“He’s incredible,” Thunder head coach Rod Jensen said regarding Dobbie, picked up in a trade with the Coquitlam Adanacs last week. “He’s an incredible goal-scorer, a clutch goal-scorer, and that’s what makes him so special. He’s so talented.” Dobbie’s winner capped a big comeback from the Thunder, by Troy Landreville which trailed 12-10 with fourtlandreville@langleyadvance.com and-a-half minutes to go in the contest.

who scored four goals and added three helpers for a seven-point outing. Dickson is the runaway scoring leader in the WLA, with a whopping 46 goals and 84 points in just 13 games. Riley Loewen scored a hat trick while Joel Dalgarno added a pair for the home team. Jensen said the Burrards, who fell to 7-6 on the season, are a different team than the one that ended up at the bottom of the WLA standings in 2012. “There’s better parity, no question about it,” Jensen said. He added, “It [Planet Ice] is a tough building to play in, and that Dickson guy can carry the whole team.” Jensen said Burrards head coach Daren Fridge has his team playing very good lacrosse. “They [the Burrards] are very athletic, very confident. They’ve got some real balance on both sides of the floor. ”

Goaltender Nick Rose, who came over in the Coquitlam deal along with Dobbie and Edwards, came on in relief of starter Brodie MacDonald and stopped 19 of 21 shots to pick up the win. The Thunder improved to 83-2 and is tied with the Victoria Shamrocks (9-4) for first place in the seven-team WLA. The local senior As are on a three-game win streak and are unbeaten in four. Next up for the Thunder is a road trip to Vancouver Island this weekend. The Thunder visit the Shamrocks in a first-place showdown Friday, then head over to Nanaimo Saturday for a date with the Timbermen.

…continued from page A24 A pair of second-period goals from Dobbie, along with singles from Alex Crepinsek, Billings, and Iannucci, gave the Thunder some breathing room. Langley carried a 7-3 lead into the second intermission. In the third period, Dobbie’s hat trick goal was sandwiched between a pair of Iannucci goals, giving him three on the night, as well. The Salmonbellies’ Kevin Crowley then tallied twice to round out the game’s scoring. Mitch McMichael and Jackson scored the first two goals of the game for Langley before New Westminster tallied a pair to tie the score. Rose made his first appearance in a Thunder uniform and stopped 33 of 38 shots fired his way. Rose was the 2012 WLA MVP. Thunder 9, Maple Ridge Burrards 4 For the most part, the Burrards hung in with the high-powered Thunder Wednesday at the Langley Events Centre. But in the waning moments, the Thunder took advantage of a Burrards squad that was forced to take a few chances to tie the score, and tallied the last four goals of the night to win 9-4. The Burrards showed some moxie with back-to-back goals from Ben McIntosh and Aaron Pascas in the third period to come within a single marker at 5-4. After that, it was all Thunder. Goals from Jones, Jackson, Alex Crepinsek (into an empty net) and Scott Johnson sealed a five-goal Thunder victory. Maple Ridge trailed 1-0 after the first period and 5-2 after 40 minutes of play. “The first period was 1-0 and the second period was tight, too,” Burrards’ head coach Daren Fridge said. “We got

to 5-4, then started to take some risks that obviously cost us. The last 10 minutes were when the wheels fell off in some regard, as far as transition went.” The game marked the Thunder debut for Dobbie, the veteran right-handed goal-scorer and 2011 WLA MVP. Dobbie had 22 goals going into the game and was limited to one, the game’s first goal, on Wednesday. Two other newly acquired runners – Jones and Johnson – played their first game in a Langley uniform, as well. Jones ended up with a goal and two assists. The game had two fights late in the third period. Maple Ridge’s Jonathan Munk and Langley’s Nik Bilic got into a spirited scrap with 37 seconds to go in the contest. Munk had his jersey pulled over his head as Bilic whaled away on him. Then, two-seconds after the faceoff to restart the game, Langley captain Matt Leveque tangled with the Burrards’ Patrick O’Meara. The two are former teammates with the Thunder. FINAL BUZZER: With all of their new additions, the Thunder look to be a strong contender to win the WLA title for the third time in as many years. But Jensen isn’t taking anything for granted, especially with so many strong squads in the mix this season. Only four points separate the top four teams in the league: the Shamrocks, Thunder, Burrards, and 7-6 Burnaby Lakers. “We jumped into being the favourite to represent [the west at the 2013 Mann Cup] if you look on paper, but as you know you can’t just look on paper,” Jensen said.

Xtreme excels in Tsawwassen

A Langley squad capped the Canada Day long weekend with a tournament victory.

The heat of the July long weekend worked to the Langley Xtreme 2001B softball team’s advantage as the local girls used their depth at pitching, catching, and defence to keep their opponents at bay. The Xtreme had a solid showing en route to a gold medal at the Lower Mainland Cup, which pits the top teams in every division in the rep B system

in the Lower Mainland against each other in Tsawwassen. The three-game roundrobin ended with the Xtreme as the top seed with a 3-3 tie with the Richmond Islanders, a 102 win over the Cloverdale Fury, and a 10-5 win over the North Shore Stars. In round one of the playoffs, the girls faced the host team Vancouver Wildcats, pulling off an 8-1 mercy-rule win after fourand-a-half innings. Round two brought the Xtreme back up against the Stars, with the Xtreme squeezing out an 8-7 win in five innings.

Hockey

D-man plucked by Ducks Shea Theodore is happy to be a Duck. The Aldergrove defenceman was selected by the Anaheim Ducks in the first round, 26th overall, at the 2013 NHL entry draft held June 30 in Newark, N.J. The Aldergrove native was coming off a fine season with the Western Hockey League’s Seattle Thunderbirds, scoring 19 goals and 31 assists with 32 penalty minutes in 71 games. “Shea is a great skater and can really move the puck,” Ducks’ executive vice president/general manager Bob Murray said on the team’s website (http://ducks.nhl. com). “The way the game is played now, that is really important. You need players like that. We are really excited.” Theodore, who turns 18 Aug. 3, ranked eighth among all WHL defensemen in scoring this past season.

The championship final pitted the Xtreme against Surrey Storm, which had gone undefeated in the regular season. The Xtreme coaches approached the tournament knowing the heat would play a factor, and used a heavy rotation so that pitchers and catchers would be as rested as possible. The final game went seven innings, with the threat of an open seventh looming over the Xtreme’s heads. The Storm’s last bats found the ball, but the Xtreme’s defence was rock solid, shutting its opponent down for a 9-4 win, and a great end to Canada Day. The Xtreme’s pitching staff includes Piper French, Kayla Michael, Ashley Preston and Sydney Wood. Catching for the Xtreme were Taryn Jenkins, Brooklyn Baly and Kaitlyn Cowie. Providing the remainder of defence were Jayna Hagen, Jordan Quechuck, Breanna Connolly, Rebecca Courneyea, Sierra Miller, and Samantha Cox. The team is coached by Robert French, David Wood, and Bill Cox, with manager Holly French.

GILBERT, Marion Lois Jun 30, 2013 GILBERT, Marion Louis It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Marion Gilbert. She is survived by her loving husband, Charles Joseph (Joe) Gilbert, her children Jan Morris (Brian), Joanne Husband (Kevin), Barb Bryant (Dave) and Barry Gilbert. Marion is also survived by her brother Roy James. Marion was the best grandma to their 10 grandchildren and 10 great−grandchildren. She will also be missed by her loving extended family and many friends. She was pre −deceased by her parents, Dave and Margaret James, and sons, Doug and Blair. Marion and Joe have been married for 60 wonderful years making many memories together, riding horses, travelling, holiday− ing with friends, and mostly working hand in hand all through their lives. She loved sewing, crocheting, baking bread, her lambs and never had a bad word to say about anyone. She was a good worker for the 4−H club and also the BCRCA. She set a good example of how to be a kind person and we are all much better to have had her in our lives. We will be having a Celebration of Life on Tuesday, July 9th from 1:30pm − 3:30pm at the Langley Senior Society, 20605 − 51B Avenue, Langley. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC (300−828 West 8th Ave, Vancouver BC) or to the Variety Club of BC (604− 320−0505) which Marion and Joe have always supported and is close to their hearts.
