around the 3400 block of 205th Street. “It’s definitely suspicious, probably kids,” said Ferguson. The owner of the south Brookswood house had already complained about teenagers gaining access to the property from a nearby gravel pit, and entering the empty building. Firefighters and police have apparently received a tip about at least one of the weekend arsons. Ferguson hopes that will help put an end to the string of arsons that have taken place over the spring and early summer. In April, police and firefighters were alarmed when a string of dumpster fires in the City and Township took place the same night that an occupied townhouse complex on the south Willoughby slope went up in flames. While the cause of that fire wasn’t determined, police treated it as suspicious.

A fire that forced five people to flee for their lives on Sunday morning may have been set by an arsonist, Langley Township firefighters have reported. On Sunday morning, firefighters rushed to a home in the 20500 block of 72nd Avenue in Willoughby. A passerby noticed smoke coming up from behind the building and ran to the nearby Willoughby Fire Hall, said assistant Township fire chief Bruce Ferguson.

The passerby also banged on the front door of the home to wake up the five residents who were sleeping inside. The house was full of smoke when about 20 firefighters arrived. Four children and an adult were taken to hospital. Ferguson said at least three were treated for smoke inhalation. The blaze began on the lower floor and spread upward into the second storey. The fire may have been deliberately set. It began on the outside of the home and is considered suspicious, Ferguson said. It was one of a trio of apparent arsons around Langley Township during the week. On Saturday, July 3, a home in the 8400 block of 208th Street went up in flames. That house was vacant and empty at the time. On Wednesday, June 30, another vacant house burned down in south Brookswood,

They came from 26 countries – from Belarus and Brazil, to Venezuela and Zimbabwe – and ranged from pre-teen children to senior citizens, but as of July 1, they all share something: they all became citizens of Canada. In an annual tradition, 50 new Canadians were sworn in on Canada Day, the ceremony this year inside the Fort Langley National Historic Site. “This is one of the best days of our lives,” said Ramon Martinez. He and his wife Marianna, his young twins Diego and Ana, nine, and his 12-year-old son Fernando took the oath of citizenship together. The Martinez family has been in Canada for five years. Canada’s freedoms and rights were a key motivating factor for the family to move and seek citizenship, Ramon said, adding, “I think there’s a lot of opportunity for the kids, a lot of opportunity for my wife.” Somrudee Sheers was also pleased to gain her citizenship after “five years and four months” in Canada. She came here to get married, and her husband Ken and mother-in-law Irma were there to applaud her after the oath. “I’m proud to be here, and I think everyone should be,”

New citizens (above), like young Diego Martinez (right photo) who along with his parents, brother, and sister shook hands with local dignitaries after being sworn in as Canadians on July 1. Somrudee said. Originally from Thailand, she’s looking forward to voting in her first Canadian elections. She was both surprised and thrilled to get the letter that told her the ceremony would be held on Canada Day. “It’s pretty special,” she said, noting that being sworn in in the birthplace of B.C. only added to that. Const. Jean-Jacques Jarjoura, wearing the red serge dress uniform of the RCMP, called the citizenship court to order. “It’s an honour,” Jarjoura told the Langley Advance about serving at a citizenship ceremony. Judge Anne Marie Kains presided over the ceremony, and talked about why new citizens are asked to learn about the

country and to learn one of Canada’s official languages. It is not just another obstacle, but to enable new Canadians to take part in their communities, to speak up on their own behalf, Kains said. “In Canada, we need to participate,” she said. “We need to be engaged.” Kains urged the new citizens to volunteer, take part in school activities with their children, and especially to vote. “This is what Canada looks like,” she said, indicating the new citizens from around the glober. “This is who we are.” The new Canadians were also welcomed by Langley

politicians, including MP Mark Warawa, MLA Rich Coleman, and Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender. “I remember the day I stood where you are,” Fassbender said. His family immigrated from Germany when he was a boy. “I’m proud to say Canada is my country of choice.” Warawa mentioned his own grandparents came to Canada from the Ukraine. “You are now ambassadors for our family,” Warawa said.

Tara Teng crowned Miss BC in hometown victory mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Cheers erupted as hometown favourite Tara Teng was crowned Miss BC Sunday night at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley. Out of 46 contestants from around the province, Teng was crowned and will represent the province for the next year. Teng was selected from the final 12, after private interviews with the judges and events during the weekend helped narrow the field. “I was the last person to be called [for the final 12] and I definitely didn’t think

their stuff in evening gowns and answering questions from the judges. Beyond the individual charity work of the contestants, they all came together to raise money for a shared goal. For several years, the contestants have raised money for Cops for Cancer, a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. The charity funds research into new treatments for childhood cancers, and sends kids with cancer to summer camp every year. This year, contestants raised a whopping $32,000 collectively. Part of that was raised at a talent show Friday night. Courtnee Anderson of Port Coquitlam won the Miss Charity title by raising more money for Cops for Cancer than any other contestant. She raised more than $9,000, close to a third of the total raised by all 46 contestants.

Teng said she hopes to use her new status to raise a number of issues. “Slavery still exists in every country in the world, and the total profit from human trafficking is second only to the drug trade,” Teng said. Women’s issues, poverty, and social justice are also high on her agenda. She has put her money where her mouth is when it comes to aiding people. Teng works for Nectar Lingerie, and through her workplace she started a charity called Undies for Africa. It sends bras and panties to women in Zambia. Just owning underwear helps raise their social status, and higher status can help protect women from rape and abuse, Teng said.

Canada Day

Fort hosts birthday bash Fort Langley drew hundreds to celebrate Canada Day, despite some damp weather. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The birthplace of B.C. celebrated the birth of Canada on July 1. The Fort Langley National Historic Site threw open its doors, hosting free events all day. At the opening ceremony, Kwantlen First Nation members drummed and sang at the front of a procession of politicians. The day at the Fort site included music from several local bands, including the White Spot Pipe Band. Visitors had a chance to make red paper top hats and

paper models of Fort buildings. Outside of the Fort site, live music and local dance troupes entertained all day in front of the Langley Centennial Museum, and crafting stations kept children entertained. The museum’s docents showed off some items from the 1920s that earlier generations of Langley residents would have found commonplace, from straw boaters to pen and ink sets. At the nearby B.C. Farm Machinery and Agriculture Museum, miniature horses entranced many, while toddlers relished getting a chance to sit on some of the antique tractors lined up out front. A scavenger hunt inside also kept people busy when drizzle made walking outside uncomfortable. The clouds and intermittent rain kept crowds smaller than in previous years.

Lead issues not ignored at site

The Langley Rod and Gun Club is firing back against provincial lead contamination warnings. by Kent Spencer

Special to the Langley Advance

The Langley Rod and Gun Club is bewildered why the B.C. Ministry of Environment has the club in its sights over lead issues. Senior B.C. environment officer Coleen Hackinen said the club is “expected” to do a “contaminated site investigation” and remediate “existing contamination” in a May 12 letter to the club. Hackinen said the contamination is caused by lead shot on the club’s extensive grounds in the 3800 block of 208 St. The 65-year-old club says it provides a “safe and friendly” environment for shooting disciplines such as trap and skeet, rifles and handguns. Club president Dave Zappone, in a brief interview, said he doesn’t “know where the lead contamination thing came from.” He said lead is expelled “…the reports during trap shooting, but it is picked up afterwards. come back “We have a monitoring clean.” well on site. The tests are done twice a year and the Dave Zappone reports come back clean,” he said. Hackinen fears contamination of groundwater in the “highly vulnerable” underground Brookswood aquifer. “Site contamination at outdoor shooting ranges is common, and if left unmanaged, can result in impacts on human health and the environment,” she said. “It is extremely important that this site be properly monitored and managed.” Hackinen said the club’s actions thus far had not been sufficient to prove that risks to human health have been “adequately evaluated.” She said the club should hire a “qualified professional” to identify existing levels of contamination and says all club directors should be aware of long-term liability issues if action is not taken. Zappone said the club has hired a private consultant, and will provide more information to the ministry and Langley Township council as required. Loud shotguns and potential pollution have ruffled neighbour Philip Sonido as well. He calls the club a “nuisance” and says it is time for members to pack up. “As I sit in my backyard every weekend, listening to incessant shotgun blasts, ‘good neighbour’ isn’t a term that immediately comes to mind,” he wrote in a letter to the editor [Neighbourliness in question, June 25 Letters, Langley Advance]. “Apparently the club has known about this risk to human health for many years but has decided to ignore it until now,” he said. “Cleaning up the massive amounts of lead will likely cost in the millions of dollars and may actually exceed the land value.”

The White Spot Pipe Band, along with Highland dancers, were among a wide variety of musical and dance groups that performed in Fort Langley during the village’s Canada Day celebrations. The annual birthday party for Canada this year included everything from miniature horses to blacksmithing demonstrations.

HST life short? HST is now a fact of life. For now. The Harmonized Sales Tax became a part of B.C.’s economic reality – at least for ordinary citizens – as of last Thursday, Canada Day, July 1. Happy birthday! How do you like that gift so far? Bill Vander Zalm and his Fight HST group don’t like it at all. They want to take it back to the manufacturer, and get our money back. First the group wowed its opposition, the Liberal side of the B.C. Legislature (well, not the entire Liberal side, attested by the fact that former Liberal cabinet minister Blair Lekstrom now sits as an independent), by collecting hundreds of thousands of supporting signatures. Fight HST ended up with more than 700,000 names supporting their cause – at least more than 15 per cent of the number of eligible voters in each and every one of B.C.’s 85 provincial ridings, providing what should be a comfortable cushion for the 10 per cent of eligible voters per riding needed to try and force the government to axe the hated new tax. But… the business lobby countered with a court-based assault, claiming Fight HST didn’t have legal grounds to present the petition, and the provincial Liberals have maintained the petition has no teeth, in any case… and now Vander Zalm and Fight HST are countering with a B.C. Supreme Court thrust of their own, claiming that the whole HST is unconstitutional… and that’s not to mention their goal to start recalling 24 Liberal MLAs – including Langley’s Mary Polak, who is 23rd on their list. So perhaps the HST is a fact of life. But facts of life can indeed be elusive. – B.G.

As it stands right now, the queen really doesn’t do much for us – other than the warm Bob Groeneveld feeling of utter gratitude her very existence editor@langleyadvance.com occasionally elicits from some of the Brits and ex-Brits who still think they own this colony. But here’s a little test. Remember that royCanada is still a constitutional monarchy alty – if allowed to procreate – is forever. because most Canadians don’t know what the Maybe you think Queen E.

Smoking

Air fouled too far

Dear Editor, I’ve often ignored those who’ve attained some sort of goal in their life, whether it is losing weight, eating the latest health conscious diet, or quit smoking, and then feel it’s their duty to inflict their wisdom on anyone they encounter. I suppose it’s because I’ve never had a weight problem, regard McDonald’s as the fifth food group, and I quit smoking a quarter century ago. Now it’s my turn. Nearly four years ago, I moved into an apartment in the fall, and didn’t notice cigarette smoke drifting through the windows until the next summer when I had to keep the windows open. I told the manager and the office staff, and I was told there is nothing they can do. I frequently wake coughing, and every morning to watery eyes, sneezing, and coughing. The stench of smoke so strong it infects the clothes in the closets. I can’t stay home; I can’t sit on my own balcony. I’ve sat in some people’s cars, and they’ve asked me if I smoke. I was reading that several people are facing the same issue. I don’t care what people do in their own home, or if they’re smokers or non-smokers, but please keep it out of my house. Tim Attwood, Langley [Note: A fuller version of this letter and others on the same topic are online at www. langleyadvance.com.]

Dear Editor, Matthew Claxton’s column [Royal visit a waste of good pomp, July 2 Painful Truth, Langley Advance], was not only disrespectful, bordering on being rude, it errs in facts. In much earlier days, Claxton could have had his head chopped off, or could have been given transportation for it. It should not have been published at a time that Her Majesty is in Canada for the umpteenth time, and perhaps you as editor had a lapse in judgment. It is in poor taste. In his column, your reporter neglects two of his responsibilities as a Canadian citizen: that of obeying Canada’s laws, and that of respecting the rights and freedoms of others. I believe your written retraction, or distancing yourself from his views, would be appropriate. Jacob de Raadt, Langley

G-20 paints bleak picture

Dear Editor, Prior to the G8 and G20 Summits, Ontario’s legislature passed a secretive measure supposedly expanding police powers. Toronto police claimed the power to arrest and detain without cause, and to check identification for the “crime” of being within five metres of security fence. No such power actually exists, which was admitted by chief Bill Blair after the conclusion of G-20 talks. Lawsuits for unlawful arrest and detention are on their way. There are reports of violence by the “Black Bloc.” Video surfaced on YouTube of undercover police dressed in “Black Bloc” clothing, justifying the mass arrest of peaceful protesters. Another video surfaced of protesters who were chanting “peaceful protest” and “the whole world is watching.” They were one by one arrested and beaten. I fear for the future, if the G-20 is remembered only as the way the evening news is painting it. Travis Erbacher, Langley [Note: Fuller versions of these letters and others on similar topics are online at www. langleyadvance.com.]

Art instructor not quite ‘retiring’

Dear Editor, A notice in the Langley Centennial Museum Newsletter is headed “Good-bye Barbara,” referring to the end of my pastel instructions at the museum. It further reads, “Barbara has decided to retire after nearly two decades of providing pastel instruction at the museum.” To my recent students, who had registered for the fall and winter sessions, and anybody on the waiting lists, I want to make clear that “retirement” was not in my plans, however the position with the museum changed for me.

Slug musings amusing

June 29 Odd Thoughts, Langley Advance]. I recently wrote several letters to our local slug, predicting the inevitable events which would unfold at the summits. (This did not require an IQ above 65.) Billions of dollars were spent to experiment with the “temporary” trashing of human rights, while the slugs designed more ways to spend further billions of our tax dollars elsewhere – if indeed resources ever end up where promised, and not in the hands of even bigger slugs. Stories are still seeping out of the slime trails! Pass the salt, dear. And thanks again. Heather England, Langley

Dear Editor, I take exception to the columns on editorial pages of the Langley Advance last week. Both overstep the bounds of good taste and are not the type of writing I like delivered to the house. Your column [Summit slugs slither through, June 29 Odd Thoughts, Langley Advance] equating the leaders of the G8/G20 summits to fat slugs that are “slimy and have no spines,” and the many imagined allusions and parallels to slugs in the garden, is as nasty a piece as ever I have read. It has no place in a family newspaper. Claxton’s column [Royal visit a waste of good pomp, July 2 Painful Truth, Langley Advance] also crosses the line, probably emboldened by your article. I have spent six years in wartime service for my country, and I find it appalling that such an article should have been written during a visit by the queen, an invited guest to our country. It is nasty, odious, and offensive, an insulting bit of work. William L. Marr, Langley

four and earned her strips as a singer on the country music scene, more recently worked a member of the Abba Cadabra tribute band while launching a business where she performs as a fairytale princess [Living as a princess, April 23, Langley Advance]. She’s anxious to participate in FBT, in big part because of the charity aspect – a cause close to her heart. “When Alyssa sat in with us two events back, she blew everyone away with her strong voice and unerring musical sense. She’s dynamite,” Bryan said. Now attendance at Food Bank Tuesdays has been up and down over the years, the organized admitted. “Sometimes, we’ve had problems getting people out,” he said. “I don’t know what it is. I think some people think if they can’t throw $10 in, that it’s not okay. It’s okay to come with a can food. Anything at all. The main thing is to come out and have a good time.” While June’s attendance was low, some of the events this past year have been packed, and the donations, Bryan noted, are growing. Food Bank Tuesdays is definitely starting to attract some attention, and he hopes it’s something that can grow and prosper – both for the sake of the musicians and the people in need.

LEPS environmental mentorship program has received federal funding to continue. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The federal government has come up with funding for the Langley Environmental Partners Society. The money will help young people dig themselves out of a hole when it comes to jobs by literally digging holes, and doing other sorts of environmental projects. On behalf of Human Resource Minister Diane Finley, Langley MP Mark Warawa presented LEPS with $261,799 in Skills Link funding for the Youth Enhancing Aquatic Habitats (YEAH!) program. LEPS will use the funds to help 20 young people facing employment barriers to develop life and work skills.

The Township of Langley is also providing $64,254 to the society for this year’s YEAH! project. “This is an excellent program that will help develop two of our most important resources: youth and the environment,” said Mayor Rick Green. “Being able to provide job training, skills and experience to young people while caring for the environment is a win-win for the entire community. In addition to learning environmentally related job skills, the young people take workshops on the environment and personal development so they are better equipped to find work or get into higher education. Previous YEAH crews have removed 40 truck loads of invasive plant species, mapped 15 kilometres of streams, conducted workshops in front of 1,500 students, worked on more than 40 different sites, created two educational plots at the LEPS Demonstration Garden, and restored 5.4 km of streams.

Environment

Canners capture summer by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

A local environmental group will help people learn how to capture the summer’s bounty. Everyone can can. That’s the philosophy guiding the Langley Environmental Partners Society as it offers home canning workshops in July. The events are based on people paying what they are able: “The $5$40 sliding scale allows people to

pay what they can in order to open up the workshop to people of all circumstances,” said LEPS agricultural projects coordinator Lina Azeez. “The point here is to make people self-sufficient and gain a level of food security by learning to can.” The summer canning workshops offered last year were so popular that LEPS decided to offer them again. The sessions are limited to eight participants each. They kick off at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Communty Centre on July 10, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Then LEPS heats up the kitchen at the Timms Community Centre on July 17, with an evening session running 5-9 p.m. Two more evening sessions (6-9 p.m.) are planned back in Aldergrove for Aug. 3 and Aug. 4. “People do not need to bring anything to can,” Aneez noted. “When they RSVP, I just let them know to bring a chopping board and an apron.” To register, call Azeez at 604-5323515 or email lazeez@tol.ca.

Fundraising

Teams shared space on a Big Bike for the Heart & Stroke Foundation. by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Pedal power pushed the Heart & Stroke Foundation of B.C. & Yukon’s fundraising efforts June 28 in Langley City. Seven teams took turns occupying seats aboard the 30-seat Big Bike, to raise funds and awareness for the cause. In its 17th year, the fundraiser saw riders and one driver from the foundation wheel around a block, starting

outside the Langley Lawn Bowling Club on 54th Avenue. “All the teams enjoyed themselves very much and the weather cooperated for us,” reported Lori Whalley, special events coordinator with the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon. As for the end of day totals, the seven Langley teams combined to raise $20,865 on June 28. “However, additional monies are still coming in and I am confident in saying that the 2010 Langley Heart&Stroke Big Bike [event] will raise over $21,000,” Whalley said. Last year, more than 40,000 riders, in more than 200 communities, helped raise in excess of $7 million. Money raised from the B.C. Bike Bike rides stay in the province and

go towards research, health promotions, and advocacy. The Langleybased teams that took part, and the amount each raised, included: • The Willowbrook Hearts in Motion Walking Club – $7,501 • Sutton Group Langley – $1,885 • Steve Nash Fitness World – $1,139 • Healthy Heart Program, WC Blair Recreation Centre – $2,079 • Old Navy Langley – $1,472 • Curves Willowbrook – $3,797 • Westland Insurance – $2,929 All the teams registered to take part in Big Bike 2011, Whalley added.

BC Summer Games • D R E A M , C H A L L E N G E , A C H I E V E !

Weekly Report A team of volunteers is being organized to capture images of the Games this month. by Andrew Harvey

Special to the Lagnley Advance

With thousands of young athletes and hundreds of coaches scheduled to arrive in Langley Township this month for the BC Summer Games, thousands of photos need to be captured. Brookswood professional photographer Dennis Davidson was not fully aware of what he was getting into when he was approached last August by Lynn Whitehouse, director of promotions for the B.C. Summer Games. He was asked to act as chair of photography for the Games. “It’s just mammoth,” said Davidson. “This is the biggest BC Summer Games ever.” He has plenty of volunteer experience with local charity events, but nothing of this magnitude. But Davidson is up for the challenge. “I am capable of managing it,” he offered. “It is a matter of delegating responsibilities to those with the right skills.” During the Games, Davidson

Dennis Davidson of Keepsake Portrait studio in Brookswood is lining up photography for the Township of Langley 2010 BC Summer Games. expects to have a team of 60-70 photographers and assistants to help facilitate all the snapshots. And there will be a lot. The team has to capture photos of the numerous medal ceremonies, as well as of sporting events scat-

tered throughout Langley – some in neighbouring communities, as well – plus group shots of the 120 teams that will be participating. With athletes arriving at different times, there will be a lot of delegations in order, Davidson said. Along with his team volunteers, he is working with two co-chairs: Bev Edwards, who makes the first contact with each of the volunteers; and Milt Kruger, who helps on the managerial side of things. Both help fill in the voids, Davidson explained: “We have different skill sets that all work together. We all get along so well.” Over the four-day sporting event, Davidson does not plan to actually take many pictures himself. He’ll be communicating with coaches, to line up teams and athletes, then coordinating the photographers and ensuring they each get to where they need to be. Besides the time-consuming involvement, sharing his talents and love for photography gives Davidson great pleasure: “I have thoroughly enjoyed the people I’ve met and the friendships I am making with the other volunteers.” To learn more about the volunteer opportunities and how to get involved in the BC Summer Games, visit www.bcgames.org.

B.C.’s athletic youth

Olympic potential coming to Township cyclist Ryder Hesjedal sees the BC Games as an integral part of that system: “Becoming a professional racing cyclist for Garmin-Transitions meant having opportunities and achieving specific goals along the way. The BC Summer Games was one of those opportunities, and winning a gold medal for the zone of Vancouver Island - Central Coast was one of those goals. The BC Games were not only fun, they were an important step in my development and helped me to realize I had the potential to be a world-class cyclist.” Joining the 2,547 athletes competing at the Township of Langley 2010 BC Summer Games will be 516 coaches and 335 technical officials. Twenty-three sports will be hosted at venues in Langley Township.

Speedy Noren leads Panthers Rochelle Noren has capped her NCAA softball career with a pair of individual awards. by Troy Landreville

Thunder back in playoff mix Wins over Burnaby and Maple Ridge have vaulted Langley out of the league basement.

Langley resident Rochelle Noren is looking towards the future, after completing her senior year with the Adelphi Panthers. Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Rochelle Noren was slaphappy in her final season with the Adelphi University Panthers varsity softball team. Known as a slap hitter, the Langley resident was named team MVP of the Garden City, NY squad after leading the Northeast-10 (NE-10) Division in hits (69) and stolen bases (42) while finishing second in runs scored (49). Those numbers translated into a selection to the Louisville Slugger/NFCA NCAA Division II All-Region First-Team, as well as a first-team spot on the NE10 Spring Academic AllConference squad. “It was amazing,” said Noren, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business management at Adelphi. “I had a lot of fun. The girls on the team were great. I was nominated to be a captain this year.” The centre-fielder, who graduated from Walnut Grove Secondary in 2006, played for the Panthers for two years after transferring from the College of Southern Idaho, where she spent two seasons playing for the Golden Eagles. Noren joined the Panthers after catching the eye of Panthers head coach Paige Smith at a tournament in Arizona. After a recruiting trip to Adelphi, Noren was hooked. “I liked the school so much,” she said. Heading into this season, Noren said she had very high aspirations and goals.

A four-sport athlete, Noren has also competed in track, swimming, and soccer. In fact, she turned down a soccer scholarship from Cumberland University in Tennessee to pursue her softball aspirations. The beauty of College of Southern Idaho’s home town, Twin Falls, Idaho, was one of the factors in her decision to hang up her soccer cleats in favour of a ball glove and bat. “When I came on my visit to Twin Falls [during my recruiting trip] the canyon was one of the most beautiful things I have seen,” Noren told the Langley Advance in 2008 [Walnut Grove grad helps Golden Eagles soar]. “The college is beautiful, the employees are nice and supportive and CSI has high expectations for their sport teams. They care a lot about their athletes – we are well known throughout the college and we are treated very well. I love both sports, soccer and softball, but CSI just felt right.”

What a difference a week makes. Last Tuesday, the Langley Thunder were mired in a three-game winless skid and occupied the Western Lacrosse Association basement. A 9-8 home floor win Wednesday over the Burnaby Lakers, coupled with a 107 victory Sunday over the host Maple Ridge Burrards has suddenly vaulted the Thunder into fifth place in the seventeam WLA standings. And the Thunder – now 5-7 on the season – are just two points out of third place behind Maple Ridge and Coquitlam. “This really keeps our hopes alive for the playoffs,” said Garrett Billings, who leads the Thunder in scoring with 52 points in 11 games. “It’s playoff time for us. If we didn’t win those [past two] games it would have been a pretty bleak outlook.” The return of ’09 WLA second team allstar Rob Van Beek will help solidify the team’s defence. Van Beek made his season debut Sunday in Maple Ridge. “It takes time as a team to come together, and we’re slowly adding guys back,” Billings said. “Rob Van Beek makes a big difference in the back end. He’s a leader for us.” Thunder 10, Maple Ridge 7 A huge second period powered the Thunder past the Burrards Sunday in Maple Ridge. The Thunder out-scored the hosts 6-2 in the middle frame and carried an insurmountable 8-4 lead into the third period. Alex Turner, Chris Panos, and Joel McCready each scored twice for the Thunder. Thunder 9, Burnaby 8 Wednesday at the Langley Events Centre, goals 25 seconds apart by Billings and Stephan Leblanc moved the Thunder ahead 9-7 late in the third period. Burnaby’s Scott Tinning scored at the 16:38 mark of the third frame to bring the visitors to within a goal but that was as close as they would come as the Thunder clamped down defensively to eke out a one-goal victory.

Your BC Lions – In Their Own Words

No. 45 puts kids at No. One

the time of my life participating in our club’s community programs. If I had to choose one in particular, I would say Lions in the House is my favourite program each winter. My parents divorced when I was younger, and I believe the experiences I had during those impressionable years have played a big role in the person I am today. I try to have the kids I talk to understand the importance of making positive life choices at a young age, because it can have a significant impact on their path to adulthood.

Jason Arakgi – No. 45

Safety Non-Import Height: 6.02 Weight: 205 Born: May 12, 1985, Montreal College: McMaster Years: 3 BC / 3 CFL

I literally grew up with the CFL. My father Nick was a longtime member of the Montreal Alouettes back in the ’70s and early ’80s, and my godfather is former Lions head coach and defensive coordinator Dave Ritchie. I grew up in Burlington, Ont. and attended McMaster University, which is located in nearby Hamilton. One of my biggest thrills was being drafted by the Lions in 2008. I never imagined my career taking off the way it has since then. I enjoy the challenge of playing special teams, and I believe that, as much as it is talked about, that part of Canadian football is under-rated. You can have a game-changing play each time the ball is kicked, and I take pride in that fact. One of the benefits of playing football on the West Coast is being able to make my home here year round. This past year was especially memorable, with Olympics festivities going on literally right outside my apartment. I also had

B.C. fell by two points to the Vancouver, Wash., Volcanoes Friday. The loss snapped the Titans’ 10game unbeaten streak, while ending their season. by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

The B.C. Titans’ season ended in dramatic fashion during the International Basketball League playoff tournament in Portland, Oregon. The Titans were knocked out of the single-elimination tourna-

ment – held at Warner Pacific College – by the Vancouver, Wash., Volcanoes, who downed the Langley-based squad 105-103 on Friday. A buzzer-beater basket, followed by a free throw lifted the Volcanoes to victory. “I thought we played outstanding,” Titans head

Thunder add scorer …continued from page A23

07069656

The Thunder have recently acquired a player whom their general manager Gerry Van Beek describes as “the most prolific goal-scorer in lacrosse today.” Langley picked up Athan Iannucci from the New Westminster Salmonbellies for the playing rights of drafted hold out Alex Gajic. Iannucci is returning from recent surgery, so his availability to the Thunder this season is not finalized. He was drafted by New Westminster in 2004 and played there until 2007, collecting a first team all-star nod twice while leading the WLA in scoring in his final season with the ’Bellies. Over the past two seasons, Iannuci played with St. Regis of the OLA Senior A League. He has now returned to the West Coast, which he calls home. Iannucci’s National Lacrosse League career has been impressive, as he set a scoring record in 2008, the same year in which he won the league’s MVP award. An injury suffered in the summer of 2008 is preventing Iannucci from playing full time over the next two seasons. ••• The Thunder are back at home Wednesday (July 7) when they host New Westminster at the Langley Events Centre. Game time between the Thunder and Salmonbellies is 7:45 p.m.

coach Scott Allen said. “It came down to the last shot in an away gym, playing against the home crowd. Games like that, you are going to lose most of the 50/50 calls. On the negative side, we gave up too many offensive rebounds. Second-chance points for them were key.” B.C. led 57-55 at the half. It was a bruising battle the rest of the way. Vancouver was ahead for much of the second half, but couldn’t take a commanding lead. The Volcanoes led 8984 heading into the final quarter of play. The fourth quarter was much the same. B.C. took a 95-93 lead before a put-back by Vancouver’s Devin Uskoski tied the score at 95. Vancouver then moved ahead 102-97 with about a minute left. With his team down 102-100, B.C.’s Emmy Unaegbu made a layup and then hit a free throw with four seconds remaining to put the Titans back on top 103-102. But Vancouver answered with a three-point play (basket and free throw) of its own. Those turned out to be the winning points as the Volcanoes moved on to the IBL semifinal against Albany, New York. Lawrence Blackledge led the Titans with 23 points. He also pulled down nine

rebounds. Wayne Marshall (22 points) and Josh Washington (21 points) also had big games, scoring-wise for B.C. Galen Young had 11 points and led the Titans with 10 rebounds. The Volcanoes went on to lose 124-105 to the Albany Legends in one of two IBL semifinals played on Saturday. In the other semifinal, the Bellingham Slam downed the Yamhill Flyers 136-105. The Slam and the Legends will now face off against each other in the IBL championship series. The official date and the location of the upcoming series was yet to be announced by the league at press time. Looking back, the Titans’ season was a positive one. Following a stretch that saw it lose four in a row and five of six, the B.C. squad ended the season on a 10-game winning streak, and Friday’s loss was the first time in well over a month that players tasted defeat. Way back on May 23, the Edmonton Energy downed the Titans 126-118. Ten straight victories to finish the campaign improved the Titans’ regular season mark to 15-7. “From beginning to end, we saw enormous growth that really established a good base for our team,” Allen said.

BURKO, Alice Rachel (nee Deans),

Passed away peacefully at Langley, B.C. on Tuesday, June 29, 2010. Aunt Alice was born on Aug. 10, 1910, in Kenora, Ontario, (the home of her aunt Rae Moon). Her parents, George and Bertha Deans relocated to Medicine Hat, Alberta, where she was raised. In 1920, her siblings, George and Olive, who were twins, were born. Alice had a “lifetime of music”, studying the piano as a young girl and then teaching piano and the organ in her adult years. She and her husband Mike enjoyed their years in Langley. She entertained many people at musical gatherings at Church, Langley Lodge and at Harrison Landing. In the past few years, despite macular degeneration, she delighted the residents of Harrison Landing by playing piano for the Glee Club on Friday evenings with her best friend Barbara Stuart at her side. Barbara and Alice played piano together many other times as well. Aunt Alice kept fit by attending Tai Chi classes and going for walks with Barbara. She was predeceased by her husband Mike Burko; parents, George and Bertha Deans; her brother George Deans, his wife Jessie and their son Glenn; sister Olive Dunn (Deans) and her brother in law, John Dunn. Aunt Alice leaves to mourn her passing her niece, Donna Van Waes (Dunn) and her husband Tony Van Waes; their children, Nelson and his wife Melissa and their son Nolan, Vanessa and her husband Cliff de Mello and their son Leighton and Michael and his girlfriend, Jamie Langdon; niece, Nancy Bitz (Dunn); nephew, John Dunn and his wife Marilyn; their children, Ryan Dunn and Amanda Balaz and husband Ken Balaz and their daughter Lexie; nephew Verne Deans; her best friend, Barbara Stuart and her daughters, as well as Irene Burko, the caring staff of Harrison Landing, Susan, Lynn, Chantelle, Carmen, Dorothy, Mike, Laurie and all her musical friends there. Alice will be forever remembered by us all! A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 pm, on Wednesday, July 7th, at Sharon United Church, at Five Corners in Murrayville. Reverend Rod McKinnon will officiate.

SUDOKU Fun By The Numbers

Like puzzles? Then you'll love Sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your Sudoku savvy to the test!

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
