Fort past brought forward History repeated itself at the Fort Langley National Historic Site over the August long weekend. From July 31 to Aug. 2, Brigade Days brought oldfashioned fun to the Fort, with re-enactors, historic weapons demonstrations, fur trade weddings, music, and the signature event, the fur brigades’ arrival. This year’s brigades landed on the shores of Fort Langley on B.C. Day, Monday, Aug. 2. Brigade Days annually celebrates the fur brigade route that the voyageurs of the 19th century would take. The route follows rivers from the forts in the Interior to the banks of the Fraser River at Fort Langley. In 1848, Fort Langley became the main depot for the Hudson’s Bay Company on the West Coast. Every summer during the 1850s, the fur brigades would travel down the rivers to Fort Langley. The brigades came down in canoes full of furs and other goods that had been traded with First Nations at the Interior forts, and would bring other supplies back from Fort Langley at the end of the summer. Jake Overstreet, 10, entered the Fort site on Sunday dressed for the occasion. The visitor from Blaine, Wash., said he wore early 19th century garb complete with a beaver pelt hat “to mix in – it just matches what’s here.”

Re-enactor Lisa Peppan carefully shaved off a slice of roast beef. Peppan has a close bond with the Fort. Her great great grandfather Etienne Pepin was a blacksmith there, and her great grandfather was born at the Fort in 1855.

An experienced pilot has died during a firefighting operation in B.C.‚s Fraser Canyon. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Tim Whiting, a 58-yearold pilot, was killed along with his co-pilot when his Convair 580 water bomber crashed Saturday evening near Lytton. Rick Pederson of Abbotsford-based Conair confirmed that Whiting was a Langley resident. He had flown with Conair for 28 years, Pederson said. The company was offering its aid to the families of Pederson and his co-pilot, an Edmonton man. The copilot’s name has not been released, pending notification of his family. Whiting’s Facebook page says he worked for Conair in the summer and the United Nations in the winter. Photos show him flying planes in Chile and Timor. According to his Facebook page, he a daughter living in the Lower Mainland. Frederick Lepine, a friend of Whiting’s, said he was too distraught to speak about Whiting’s death, but said in an email that “Tim was a very experienced and capable pilot and a longtime friend.” Initially, search-and-rescue crews were unable to reach the crash site because of the intensity of wildfires, but Sunday afternoon Lytton RCMP and the B.C. Coroner Services were able to reach the site and confirm that both crew members were dead. Pederson said the Transportation Safety Board is now investigating the crash, and the company can’t comment on possible causes. Determining what happened is in the TSB’s hands, Pederson said. – With files from Vancovuer Sun

Garbage burn considered

A garbage incinerator and power station may be fed by Metro Vancouver waste. But it may not be built in Metro Vancouver. Directors of the regional district voted Friday to consider incineration and other “conversion” technologies such as anaerobic digestion and gasification in and out of the region, as a way to dispose of 500,000 tonnes of garbage annually. Thirty of Metro Vancouver’s 37 directors – members of the sewage and drainage district – gave the final vote on the region’s new solid-waste-management plan, which proposes building a $470-million incinerator in the region. Langley’s votes went toward the incinerator, but not without some trepidation. • More online

South Langley

Addicts take over own care A group of addicts is trying to start anew after rehab facility officials walked away from a South Langley facility.

by Heather Colpitts and Matthew Claxton news@langleyadvance.com

A group of men say they are stranded at a South Langley alcohol rehab facility after the operators walked away. On July 11, residents at the Mission Possible Addiction Rehabilitation Society home in the 100 block of 208th Street were handed letters saying they had 48 hours to get out. The unsigned letter claims the society board decided to close the facility because of problems with the septic system backing up. “The recent round of staff [staph] infections make it imperative to close down this property from further inhabitation until the same is cleared by Fraser Health Authority,” the letter said.

Just weeks after Langley Township released a map of its Draft Cycling Network, the province is offering cash for building bike lanes. On Friday, the provincial government announced $500,000 for BikeBC Cycling Infrastructure, to support cycling projects that will make people healthier. Langley Township staff may go

after a portion of the new funding to help them build bike lanes along Fraser Highway. This year, pre-loading will start for the project to widen the highway between the Langley City border and 216th Street, in front of the Langley Regional Airport, adding marked bike lanes to connect with lanes on Hospital Hill, said transportation engineer Paul Cordeiro. While that’s one of the largest bike projects coming up, others are already underway or being planned. Cordeiro said the Draft Cycling Network plan shows many miles of potential cycling lanes and off-road cycling trails. It would be costly for the Township to build the network

all at once: “It’s fair to say it’s in the millions of dollars,” Cordeiro said. But the Township plans to take years to build it, once it’s finalized. In areas of rapid growth, developers will build some of the bike lanes and paths, or will pay development charges to have them built. The rest will be up to Township taxpayers, provincial grants, and TransLink. The Langley chapter of the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition and the public will be consulted, Cordeiro said. Bicycle lanes were recently added to 204th Street, between 66th and 64th Avenues, and a project is underway at 96th Avenue and Telegraph Trail.

Burn or bury not best ends Metro Vancouver’s directors voted to perhaps look at burning some of the region’s vast flow of trash, rather than burying it in leaky landfills. The arguments over this could take up numerous editorials and articles, and no doubt will over the next few months. Will waste to energy dump too much soot and pollutants in the Fraser Valley airshed? Are some residents going to take the brunt while others get to breathe clean air? Can the system ever be made truly clean? However, the current system couldn’t continue. Burying garbage and hoping it goes away shows that as a society, we’re no better than a six-year-old hiding Brussel’s sprouts under the table to avoid eating them. As everyone from the Metro Vancouver directors to Premier Gordon Campbell have said, we need to stop creating so much garbage, period. Recycling, we’re getting pretty good at (although we could improve) but reducing is where we need to make great strides. This is where everyone from the average citizen to the federal and provincial governments are going to have to work collectively. We need to reduce packaging, bags, boxes, and foam peanuts. We need to stop tossing out millions of cardboard coffee cups, paper napkins and burger boxes. We need old solutions and new ones to slash the amount of junk we throw out after preparing a meal with supermarket ingredients. And what we can’t eliminate, we need to recycle in an expanded blue box system. Citizens are going to have to pull up their socks and take part, but governments will have to show some real backbone. They’ll probably have to put some serious money into this, and they’ll have to face down the many, many corporations who won’t want to change. – M.C.

Canoe club moves over to .ca

Dear Editor, Fort Langley Canoe Club has changed the address of its website to fortlangleycanoeclub.ca, following a tiny administrative misunderstanding that led to the old website name not being re-registered. Although a notice had been issued by the domain registrar, it was confused with a regular bill, and the canoe club suddenly found that its wellknown name had been purchased by a so-called “Domain Investor” that acquires domain names for profit, not normally for general use. FLCC is a not-for-profit club run entirely by volunteers who have worked hard to develop an attractive website that delivers details of the public courses that the club runs with the Township’s recreation department, as well as lots of advice and information about canoeing and kayaking, and stories of their exploits over the recent years. We are disappointed that this change has been forced upon us. It seems amazing that anyone would wish to buy the name of our club’s website, and can only presume their plan is to sell it back to us. Fortunately, we were able to transfer the entire site to a newly purchased name fortlangleycanoeclub.ca, and we hope that our regular users will soon find us.

Club Commodore Cheryl MacIntosh said discovering the problem just after three days of hard work at the canoe/kayak section of the Township of Langley 2010 BC Summer Games was particularly hard. We will need to spread the new web address as fast as we can, so that potential paddlers in the community can find us easily. In particular, Fort Langley Canoe Club is offering all registered volunteers to the BC Games a free session in a dragon boat. They have all been told the old address, so they now need to know to register at bcgames@fortlangleycanoeclub.ca, instead of at the old address. Just a little slip like this could happen to anyone, so we would recommend that every domain name holder takes special care of their registrations. But at least .ca is Canadian, eh?

Why did so few stop to offer help?

Dear Editor, I am incensed. I don’t usually write to the editor, but today’s incident made me so angry. I was coming out of Otter Co-op, ready to cross the highway, when I saw an elderly gentleman laying on the side of the road, trying to get up. It was around noon. I asked him if he needed help, and he seemed disoriented. I realized he could not get up without help. People were driving by without

slowing or seeing if he needed help or if I needed help with him. Shame on them all. He was not drunk or homeless – and so what if he was? Do you just leave him on the side of the road to be run over? He had tripped on the end of the sidewalk and couldn’t get up. He’s 74 years old, and I couldn’t help him until another kind gentleman stopped, and between us, we got him on his feet. To all the people who just drove by and did nothing:

HST

Back to school now pricier

Dear Editor, I know everyone is tired of hearing about the awful Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), but I think families should be aware that, when their children return to school, the supplies are no longer tax exempt. I found out by just picking up odds and ends for school so that I do not have to put out $300 all at once when my kids go back to school in September. When I questioned the cashier about the HST on my bill, I was informed that every item I now purchase for school will have it. Every family purchasing the essential items for education will now have an extra burden to bear. I find it difficult to believe that a government that wants our children to be productive, educated members of society would tax essential items. These are not luxuries – they are necessary for the kids to attend school. Families struggle as it is, to supply their children and sometimes other children who may not have the basics (we won’t be buying extra for anyone this year, as we have for the last 16 years), because now that $30-$50 will go to paying the HST. It’s just another way for the government to sock it to us again. But we will all end up taking it from somewhere in our already stretched budgets. I think it is pretty sad. Elaine Galbraith, Langley

what if it would have been their dad or your grandfather and nobody helped him? This fellow has no family to look after him. He had taken the bus from Walnut Grove and was insisting on taking it back. We made him comfortable and drove him over to Otter Co-op Gas Bar, and called the ambulance service. The gals at the gas bar were excellent; they treated him with dignity and respect, giving him a chair to sit in and wait for the emergency services, and then putting up – with smiles on their faces – with at least six emergency personnel in their tiny store. And the emergency personal were great, too, putting him at ease and looking after him like a family member. Kudos to them. If he could have got up on his own and wandered into the traffic at the corner of 248th Street and Fraser Highway, it could have turned out very different – and so many people were willing to let that happen. That is what incensed me enough to write a letter to the editor. I pray next time it won’t be a parent of one the people who just drove by.

Addicts take over facility created for their care …continued from page A3 John Folia co-owns the house with another man, and said he spent many hours at the house replacing broken and damaged pipes because food solids and other things were being put flushed down the pipes, despite him telling staff that should not be done. As well, solids were being flushed down toilets, clogging the filter and causing backup in the pipes. Folia said he told them solids can’t be flushed, and showed staff where the filter was to keep it clean. He said he spent money on plumbing supplies and time down at the house to do repairs, which the society was responsible for because the problems were based on the actions of those in the house. Folia said he’s also out $3,080 rent for July, the cheque having bounced. “As owners, we took a pretty big risk,” he said about allowing a rehabilitation facility. But Folia said the owners believe in helping people get back on track, so they will work with the residents. “I don’t want to just put these guys out on the street,” he said. Folia said they thought the facility was helping people. “We trusted the society to have a good program in place,” he said. The Advance tried calling Walters and the others listed on the society’s board of directors at the time of incorporation. Only Mackay talked to

the Advance – but said he expected to be “misrepresented” in the media. Mackay said they were never told what to do about the plumbing, and the board sought a $1,300 payment as reimbursement for calling in a plumbing company on one occasion. He said there was no negotiation on any of the issues that prompted the board to write its letter, which surprised him. He was more surprised when the landlord inked a deal with the residents. A check of provincial records reveals the society was incorporated on Jan. 7, 2009, about the same time the facility opened. Its eight directors

gave addresses in Abbotsford and White Rock. Mackay said those people aren’t directors anymore, but wouldn’t give the names of the current five board members. “I’m willing to take the crap here,” he said. Other local rehab and social assistance groups, such as Stepping Stone and the Salvation Army, were aware of its existence, but their staff had little contact with Mission Possible. The South Langley operation was not affiliated with a far more high profile operation of the same name, which has operated in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside for many years.

Rehab mission impossible …continued from page A5 Vince noted that, when this all happened mid-July, the office computer tower was removed. “They instructed me to shred anything that was here,” Vince added. Instead, the residents have been going through the files, learning about the facility. The residents have been in touch with Langley Township, to ensure they are following municipal rules. “The Township has been absolutely great,” Vince noted. Not so great has been the provincial government. Vince said the residents are having trouble obtain-

ing their social service funds to cover rent. Mackay said the society is looking at space elsewhere, as a result of the “illegal coup” by the residents. He told the Langley Advance that the society is “looking for another facility.” He said the same mistakes won’t be made at any future facility, with all licensing and zoning properly in place, and that he won’t get involved unless the board of directors creates a solid business plan so the operation is more professional. “It just got to be really, really messy,” Mackay said.

You want the best for your kids. When it comes to money, often today’s purchases have an impact on tomorrow’s savings. This is where we can help. Working together, we’ll help you balance throwing the best birthday party, and saving for her education. Either way, in her mind, animals will factor into both.

New cenotaph ‘parked’ Future Remembrance Day ceremonies will be at Douglas Park, once a new cenotaph is built. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Langley City is working with the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 21 on what the new cenotaph in Douglas Park will look like. The Langley Legion is moving from Eastleigh Crescent to a new building at 20570 56th Ave. and taking the cenotaph along and putting it on display, but a new one is being built so that the annual Remembrance Day ceremonies can be held in the public park. “When the Legion sold their property at Eastleigh Crescent, we thought it made all kind of sense to move the cenotaph to Douglas Park because it has adequate

space to accommodate large crowd, better viewing sight line, and proper lighting and sound system at the Douglas Park Spirit Square,” said City administrator Francis Cheung. The City will be retaining a landscape architect to help determine the best location for a new cenotaph and to develop various options for a new structure which is a dedication to the Canadian soldiers killed in wars or conflicts. That’s also when cost estimates will be done. “City council will then work with the Langley Legion to select and finalize the cenotaph design,” Cheung said. Then the City will set aside funds in its 2011 capital improvement plan and if approved by City council, the construction will go ahead. Remembrance ceremonies for November 2010 will be at the new 56th Avenue site but the Legion expects ceremonies starting in 2011 to be in the park.

ldergrove resident Stan Ellis was surprised when he received the phone call that he had won the Pay It Forward grocery shopping spree. After all, while he had made food donations, his wife Joann had made more, and so she had had a better chance of winning the contest. The grocery giveaway was intended to help fill the shelves of the Langley Food Bank. The food bank, along with the Gateway of Hope shelter and Langley Meals on Wheels, was chosen to receive assistance through this year’s Pay It Forward campaign. People who brought in donations of non-perishable food or cash were eligible for the giveaway of $150 in grocery gift cards. The retiree, who has lived in Aldergrove’s Pioneer Park, is pleased to contribute to the food bank. The contest was just icing on the cake. “We always drop stuff off,” he said. The couple even has a strategy on how to contribute. “When there’s two for one [at the grocery store], we usually put the one to the side, and it piles up,” Stan said. Then the items are contributed. In fact, the couple also contributes

After picking up her $150 in gift cards, Willoughby’s Laurel Thomas headed down to the Langley Food Bank. “I’d really like to donate a portion of this back,” she said. She had entered only the day before the contest closed, and was surprised to have won. “I was delighted,” Thomas said. Like so many who help others, she finds there’s a big payoff for the person giving. “Any way we can give to others, it makes you feel better,” she said. “You’re actually the one who receives more than the other person, sometimes, I think. In this world, kindness goes a long way.”

Contributing is nothing new to Thomas, her husband Jim, and their three sons. “Our kids went to Langley Christian School, and as part of the curriculum, they volunteered some time at the Langley Food Bank,” she explained. “It really opened our eyes to the need.” The kids are now grown men – Greg is 29, Kyle is 27, and Jason is 25 – but the impact of volunteering has stayed with the family. “I was surprised at the young families that were coming into the food bank,” Laurel noted. She added that she came to respect the people who volunteer at the food bank, after finding out that many are former clients who received food help themselves. “That’s their way of paying it forward,” Laurel said.

he wrap-up of the Pay It Forward campaign for 2010 came with extra good news for three local charities that help feed people.

The Langley Advance’s campaign chose the Langley Food Bank, Langley Meals on Wheels, and the Gateway of Hope shelter as the recipient charities this year. They seemed like a natural fit with the Food for Thought theme, and thanks to the campaign’s key sponsors, each charity will receive grocery gift certificates for their programs. Providing $500 worth of gift certificates were sponsors East Side Marios

and Envision Financial. The food bank will receive $100 in grocery gift cards, as well as the food contributions that have been collected over the past several weeks at the Langley Advance office. Each receiving $200 in gift cards are Gateway and Meals on Wheels. The contributions would not have been possible without the generous support of the community and the business sponsors of Pay It Forward.

Restaurant staff team up

to fight cancer

A team of staffers from East Side Mario’s Restaurant in Langley are pulling together to help raise money for a cause close to their hearts – cancer. The eatery is ﬁelding a team for this year’s Run for the Cure, a fundraiser for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The restaurant’s team will include in the back (left to right), Ian Molenaar, Mark Bos, Mark Salhany, and in front Judy Lee, Kellie Benoit, Amy Ashby, and Edwina Vasquez.

A crew from Langley’s East Side Mario’s will field a team in the Oct. 3 Run for the Cure fundraiser.

said she too is anxious to pitch in. Cancer has hit friends and family of this 36-year-old Burnaby woman, who still gets choked up when talking about the recent loss of her own mother. While her best friend’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer two year ago, she’s among the success stories because she’s currently in remission. Benoit’s own mother Wendy Scully, was not so fortunate. She lost her battle with cancer within weeks of a diagnosis. “She knew something was wrong,” Benoit recalled, noting her mother receiving a lung cancer diagnosis in February, and by April the disease had spread to her brain. By the middle of that same month, the disease was rampant, claiming the 55-year-old Maple Ridge woman’s life.

“Cancer is a big thing in our family,” Benoit said, also explaining the loss of a cousin six years ago to lymphoma cancer, her grandfather to lung cancer two years ago, and even her 10-year-old rottweiler Xena back in February. “I’ve never been hesitant to help out where and when I can,” Benoit explained. “But this is a good time to get into it and really try to make a difference.” This fall, she’ll be walking/running with her colleagues at East Side Mario’s Langley. But she’ll be doing it in memory of her mother, and in honour of her nine-year-old son – who she hopes will join her at the fundraising event. She hopes it’s the beginning of a lifetime commitment to helping eradicate the disease known as cancer.

Camp a ray of sunshine in darkness Gearing Up

Lake laps at the docks. The camp staff and volunteers are vibrating with so much energy and goodwill you expect them to explode at any moment. Most amazing are the medical facilities. Oncologists and specialist nurses volunteer so that children who have delicate immune systems, multiple medications, and even ones still in treatment, get the care they need, and then go right back to being kids at camp. How much does it cost, to operate a camp like this? Plenty. How much does it cost parents to send their kids? Zero. Zip. Nothing. The Canadian Cancer Society will even pay for plane tickets and get you to the camp gates. Which is why I’ve got that thought stuck in my head. I’ve got to raise more money. I’ve got to keep this place going. This year’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley runs Sept. 23 to Oct. 1., from Delta to Boston Bar.

A single thought pounded in my head as I left Camp Goodtimes last month. I’ve got to raise more money. I was visiting along with the fellow riders on the Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley Team. This September, we’re riding through the Lower Mainland to raise money for childhood cancer research, and support for the kids. A big part of that support is Camp Goodtimes. You don’t want your kid to be eligible for Camp Goodtimes. It serves children with cancer, in recovery, or their siblings. But if your child has cancer, it’s a godsend. The camp is amazing.

Barefooting

Skiing siblings still skimming water surfaces Elements of barefoot water-skiing

Nicole and Richie Blackmore continue to make waves on local and international waters.

• In barefoot, the slalom event is slightly different than water-skiing, in that there are no buoys. Athletes earn points for crossing the boat’s wakes. Varying points are awarded for crossing both wakes, one wake and for passing on one or two feet. Point values increase for the more difficult techniques.

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Varying priorities have pulled the barefoot waterskiing endeavours of Aldergrove siblings Nicole and Richie Blackmore a bit off-kilter these days. The national-level barefooters both find themselves pre-occupied with school and other commitments, but they continue to ski at a high level. Seventeen-year-old Richie is coming off a gold medal performance at last weekend’s BC Summer Games. He took home gold in boys 14-to-17-year-old barefooting at the event’s towed water sports venue, Albert Dyck Park in Abbotsford. Twenty-year-old Nicole – Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada 2009 Barefoot Water-ski Athlete of the Year – holds Canadian records in open women trick and slalom. A member of the national open barefoot water ski team, Nicole will represent her country at the world championships, held near Brandenburg-an-der-Havel, Germany (near Berlin) from Aug. 8-15. Meanwhile, Nicole is working on her bachelor of science degree at the University of Calgary, and her schooling has taken her away from watery training grounds. “That’s kind of taken a toll on my skiing, because I’m not able to ski every day,” she said. “School comes first right now.” When her school year

• In tricks, athletes are allowed two passes through the tricks course, each 15 seconds in length, during which they attempt to perform as many tricks as they can. There are pre-assigned point values for each trick and an athlete may perform a trick only once. The athlete with the most points at the end of the event wins. • In the jump event, athletes may perform at speeds up to 72 km/h. Normally athletes are entitled to three jumps per round, over a ramp that is only 18 inches high. From the Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada website: www.waterski-wakeboard.ca.

Twenty-year-old Nicole Blackmore will be skimming along the water in Germany, starting Sunday, when she represents Canada at the world barefoot water ski championships. (Left) Richie Blackmore was a gold medal winner at last weekend’s BC Summer Games. ended, Nicole moved to Florida where she’s been on the water as much as possible in preparation for the rapidly approaching world championships. “It’s coming up quick,” she said, regarding the world event. “It’s scary. I have to do what most girls do all year, in a few months.” A shortened training regimen means modest expectations for Nicole as she prepares for Germany. “My goal is to do the

best that I can,” she said. “Obviously that means representing Canada at the highest female level.” Richie has an impressive resumé. A Canadian junior champion in 2005 and 2008, he competed for Canada at the 2008 world championships and earned the title of B.C. Barefooter of the Year in 2009. However, pre-BC Games, Richie hadn’t skied since spring break and admitted he was out of shape. “I’m trying to get back

into it,” he said. Barefooting, as it’s commonly known, is water skiing on bare feet. As with water skiing, there are three main events; slalom, tricks, and jumping. Nicole said the sport has been around for years but still hasn’t completely caught on with the younger generation. “Back in the day it used to be an extreme sport,” Nicole said. “It’s not very popular in our age group.

The biggest thing we can do is try to promote it and get as many people our age to do it.” To be an effective barefooter, you have to be fearless and a little on the crazy side, Nicole said. “The biggest thing you have to get over is fear,” she said. “A lot of it is in your head, just believing you [can] do it.” She added with a laugh, “the best barefooter, I would say, is the one that’s not that intelligent,

because when you’re going 45 mph, and you have to do something and you know that you could fall, or pull your shoulder or twist your knee, you’ve really got to put your head into it in order to do it properly.” Regardless of how she fares at future competitions, Nicole pictures herself further down the road with her family, barefooting for the pure love of the sport. “It’s an escape,” she said. “Obviously I can’t [barefoot competitively] for the rest of my life. I have to go to school and get a career. But after final exams, it’s just great to be in the boat and with your family. I get to be active and do something I love. It’s something we’ve grown up doing as a family.”

If the July 22-25 weekend was any indication, the future of the Trinity Western University men’s volleyball team looks very bright. The men’s 2010 National Team Challenge Cup was played in Toronto and the next wave of Spartans were very much at the forefront of the competition as Devyn Plett, Lucas Van Berkel, Branden Schmidt, Brad Kufske, and Derek Thiessen all represented their respective provinces on the U19 stage. Plett, who will join the Spartans this fall after graduating from Winnipeg’s Mennonite Brethren Collegiate Institute, continued to add to his perfect season of championships by helping lead Manitoba to a gold medal win over Alberta (25-19, 21-25, 25-23, 21-25, 15-11). The victory added to Plett’s 2009/10 hardware haul that includes a high school provincial championship, a club provincial championship, and a club national championship. “I’m really happy for Devyn and his Manitoba teammates in their NTCC championship,” said Spartans

coach Ben Josephson. “It’s another great achievement in a season of dreams for Devyn. I am confident he will bring his success streak to our team in Langley.” While Plett came out on the winning end of the gold medal match, his future TWU teammates from Alberta, Van Berkel and Schmidt, were both named to the junior national team after the tournament and will begin training immediately as the squad prepares for the 2010 NORCECA Junior Men’s Continental Championship that will take place in Gatineau, Que. from Aug. 16-21. “I’m ecstatic for Lucas and Branden to be selected to the junior national team for this summer,” Josephson said. “The added training with our country’s finest players and coaches will do wonders for their game and open their eyes further to the international level.” Van Berkel and Schmidt join current Spartans Rudy Verhoeff and Marc Howatson on the national scene – with the latter two training with the senior B team this sum-

mer – and former Spartan Josh Howatson, who is currently with the senior team preparing for the world championships. The Spartans’ other two representatives at the NTCC, Kufske and Thiessen, sported the colours of Team B.C. and helped their team to a fifth place finish after beating Saskatchewan in their last game (2520, 23-25, 22-25, 25-17, 15-12). For Kufske, it was a frustrating event as he rolled his ankle in his team’s first game and was unable to play the rest of the tournament. Thiessen, on the other hand, was playing in his first major tournament in nearly a year after having ACL surgery last summer and used the competition as an opportunity to play catch up. “This summer was a great summer for Derek to get back into the flow of volleyball,” Josephson said. The Spartans enter the 2010/11 season after winning a silver medal at last year’s CIS title and will host this year’s CIS tournament from March 4-6, 2011.

I grew up in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and have been playing football since I was in the seventh grade. From very early on, I knew I wanted to play professional football, and focusing on that goal kept me motivated to do well in high school and get in to university so I’d have an opportunity to realize my dream. After 10 seasons with the Lions, I still love coming to work every day and doing whatever I can on offence to help this club win a championship for the CFL’s best fans. Growing up, I saw firsthand what could happen to kids who don’t stay focused on their goals, so I’m very aware of making sure my own children are surrounded by positive influences, whether it’s encouraging my teenage son to do well in high school or coaching my younger son’s football team. It’s also a big reason why I love taking part in our club’s community programs. Among the programs I take part in, I would say the Lions Pride program is one of the most rewarding, because I’ve seen firsthand what happens to a young person’s life when they make the right choices. The decisions a youth makes today will affect them tomorrow, and I take pride in knowing I may have helped direct one of these young people down a positive path.

Funeral Services

PRE-HST SAVINGS

EXTENDED

The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) came into effect on July 1st, increasing the cost of funerals by 7%. In many cases, this amounts to an increase of $500 or more. While we assisted hundreds of families with their pre-arrangements prior to the July 1st deadline, many others were unable to complete their plans before the HST became effective. By planning ahead you will: • Relieve your family of the emotional and ﬁnancial burden an unplanned funeral can cause • Prevent emotional overspending • Lock in prices at today’s rates
