t was most likely a lit cigarette tossed in the bush. Just after noon on Monday, June 22, firefighters pulled up on 66th Avenue. To the west is James Anderson Learning Centre. To the east is a dense collection of townhouses climbing up the Willoughby slope. Sandwiched in between the two is a scrubby vacant lot, edged to the east with a paved walking path. Someone probably went for a walk and dropped a butt, said Captain Morley Sagert of the Langley Township fire department. “It’s easy just to flick it into the bush,” said Sagert. Sagert and firefighters Rob Bisschop, Darren Duffil, and Jarod Horch arrived to find smoke coming from a log and Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance nearby debris. A quick blast with the hose eliminated most Firefighters Darren Duffil, left, and Jarod Horch, right, with Capt. Morley of the smoke.

moved to Langley about 10 years ago. She has since been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a chronic lung condition. When she has an attack, it feels like choking, Macleod said. “You feel like you can’t catch your breath,” she said. Her lungs close up “like the fingers of a hand,” she said. She has to use a puffer to keep her lungs open, and if she can’t control her condition that way, the next stage is to get an oxygen tank. “I don’t want to get one of them,” Macleod said. Macleod’s problem is that some people in her neighbourhood use fire pits or have back yard bonfires during the summer. Despite all outdoor fires being banned at this time of year, they are still common throughout the rural and older suburban parts of the Township. Macleod knows she could report fires to the Langley Township fire department, but in general she doesn’t want to damage her relationships with otherwise friendly, nice neighbours. She has spoken to a few of them privately about her medical condition and asked them to stop burning. One of the problems seems to be that new people sometimes move in and assume they’re out in the country and can now have a fire in their yard. “There’s absolutely no fires permitted,” said Walker. The Township, as it has for years, is pursuing a zero-tolerance policy against anyone starting a backyard fire, whether a bonfire or in a firepit. The fine is $200. Some people are reluctant to phone in tips about fires. “We don’t release the caller’s information,” Walker said. “It’s strictly confidential.” Only propane and charcoal briquette barbecues are allowed in the Township, and fire pits are banned.

Longtime proponents of an Aldergrove pool are upbeat but still want some changes after last week’s announcement by Langley Township. “Well, we still want an indoor pool,” said Joanne Nicolato of the Aldergrove Recreation and Pool Society. For years the society has called for an eight-lane, 50-metre, indoor pool.
New patients receive FREE whitening "&! 9="#(0
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Last week the Township announced a $28.5 million, 25-metre, six lane, outdoor year-round pool and rec centre on the site of the former Aldergrove Elementary, which will be demolished. The society released an official statement this year that supported the project overall but called for enclosing the pool but acknowledges funding is not there for an indoor pool. “During the next three years of construction, this society will be working very closely with the Township of Langley, to help them actively seek out funding to turn the current plans of this outdoor pool into an indoor pool by opening day,
May 2018,” said the statement. The centre includes a wave pool, and a “lazy-river” feature that will surround three large waterslides as well as smaller waterslides and a water park. “I agree with council,” said Nicolato. “I think it’s a destination project.” Because the pool is being built so that it could be enclosed, the society will be seeking to turn it indoor before the projected opening day of May 2018. “Definitely we still want the indoor pool,” she said. “It’s just how we get it.” > See our letters page or visit www.facebook.com/langleyadvance to see more reaction

Odin the English Mastiff had a good life in Langley. And now, thanks to Langley City Fire Rescue members and friends of Judy Head, he’s had a comfortable death, a death befitting a beloved pet named for a Norse god. The 180-pound dog had lost his will to live, Head explained. “He has had spinal arthritis, a knee replaced and a history of kidney ailments. He was tired. We knew his time had come,” she said. Born in Texas, he had been a member of the family since a puppy, almost seven years ago. He quietly slipped away from the family home in Brookswood on June 20. Odin went 30-feet down into a nearby ravine. They found him on Father’s Day. Head called on friends but they could lift him. “One of them went and bought him a $25 steak and fed it to him – the last meal,” she said. They called the SPCA and a representative attended.
Head also sought help from the City fire department. “We had two fully manned fire trucks with all the personnel on scene, along with the SPCA. They carried him out on the stretcher and he looked like royalty on a chariot,” she said. A procession of two fire trucks, the SPCA vehicle, and three passengers vehicles convoyed him to the Animal Emergency Hospital in Langley. “All the firefighters came to help move him into the hospital,” she added. Odin, instead of dying alone in the woods, was euthanized, surrounded by family. Head smiles when she thinks about Odin on his final kingly procession. Head, a single mother of two, can’t say enough about the firefighters and others who came to help when the family was going through a crisis. “The firefighters also handed out stuffed animals to all the kids who were at the house with their parents who had come to try and help, and to my daughter, who was losing her beloved pet,” she said.

ifferent name, different route, same very worthy cause. What was Ride For Hope is now Ride for the Kids, a July 2 cycling journey that will see participants pedal from Langley to Chilliwack and back in their efforts to generate money for the Canucks for Kids Fund in support of Canuck Place Children’s Hospice.

Team Bayview Towing cyclists, who are spearheading the Ride for the Kids cycling fundraiser on July 2, posed in front of the Langley Twin Rinks sign on the Langley Bypass. Over the past eight years, the fundraiser had cyclists ride from South Surrey to Hope for the cause. This year, the cycling trek begins and ends at Canlan
Towing, has been part of the ride since its inception. Scaling down the fundraiser and changing its name was necessary this year, Bandura said. “Due to sponsorship changes... this is the core group that’s done the ride for the past nine years, so rather than create any further conflict, we changed the name, and Ride for the Kids fits.” n Thursday, July 2, the cyclists will depart from Twin Rinks at 8 a.m. and travel round trip to Chilliwack, with a stop at the newly built Canuck Place Children’s Hospice in Abbotsford on their way back. The initial ride, in July 2007, raised $10,960 for Canuck Place Children’s Hospice and the totals have risen ever since.

Heartbreak is in the environment
A
friend of mine lost a child this morning. And it was my fault. It was something I did. The kid died in my garden. It was the same garden where I met my friend quite a few years ago. People who know me know that I am an inveterate whistler. I tend to mix my pleasures. When I’m enjoying what I’m doing, I whistle while I work – when I’m writing, when I’m paddling my canoe, and especially when I’m gardening. I just can’t help myself. The music gets inside me and it’s just got to get back out again. It was fall. I was chopping up some plants for composting, and I was whistling away at a swing jazz tune that I remembered from an old movie. Next thing you know, there’s a Chickadee singing with me! He’s perched on a corn stock not 10 feet away from me. Amazed, I stopped whistling… and he stopped singing. He just cocked his head and looked at me. Tentatively, I picked up my tune again. And he joined back in. We were jamming. No. We were cooking! I’ve always had a love for nature, but that day – and the many days after, when my friend returned again and again to share music with me – my

Odd Thoughts
mokey Bear is worried about making sure you don’t burn down the woods, but wildfires don’t need a whole forest to get going. It’s dry out there, and about to get drier and hotter with a heat wave expected to start as soon as this weekend. Every year, firefighters spend a lot of their time dealing with what can only be called stupid fires – fires started through simple, careless ignorance. Cigarette butts are still the main cause of these fires, butts tossed onto dry grass or bark mulch on medians and in parks. The smoker can walk away and nothing seems to happen, sometimes for hours or days. But the fire can smolder, burrowing underground and biding its time. Then there’s the puff of smoke, and if we’re lucky, the fire department gets a call when that’s all it is. There have been some serious fires in the Lower Mainland in recent years, including in 1996 and 2005 in Burns Bog. The smoldering fires claimed 170 hectares and 200 hectares of land respectively. Numerous small brush fires have struck in other suburban areas around Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. In Langley Township in the summer of 2010, about 20 acres was burned along the Trans Canada Highway, threatening nearby homes, barns, and livestock. The cause was likely a cigarette tossed from a car. Other communities north of the Fraser River have to worry about interface fires – blazes that start in the forest and then march towards residential areas. If the drier, hotter summers we’ve experienced recently are the result of global warming, we will only see conditions primed for fires more frequently in the future. That will place an even larger burden on us to be cautious with fire. Learn about your local rules for outdoor burning before you put a match to the bonfire or fire pit. Put out that cigarette somewhere safe. And keep an eye out for those telltale puffs of smoke coming from the vacant lots, the medians, and the backyards. – M.C.

Letters to the editor
Aldergrove swimmers need a voice Dear Editor, I attended the unveiling of the new recreation centre for Aldergrove last night [June 17]. There were many great ideas included in the design. The library will stay at the Kinsmen Centre to cut costs. There will be a great new ice arena which will double as an events centre to help with costs. A beautiful waterpark which will change many people’s destination from the Cultus Lake Waterpark to Aldergrove’s new waterpark will be open for four or five months of the year. But where is our indoor pool? It is non-existing. There will be a lap pool that is heated yearround but there are no plans to heat the area between the change rooms and the pool or provide a heated area for parents to sit and watch their children participate in lessons. The waterpark has an area that is ideal
for those needing rehabilitation from surgery to walk but only in the summer months so if you are fortunate to only need this rehabilitation in the summer, it will be useful to you. The new recreation centre does not provide the indoor pool that residents of Aldergrove have been asking for but it provides much needed summer water activities to the community. In a conversation with one councillor, I was told that I was the only one in Aldergrove who wanted an indoor pool. If you also would like to see an indoor pool in Aldergrove or at least a heated area for those going from the change room to the pool and for spectators, please contact Langley Township council and let them know. There were two more public information meetings this week, but because of the short time frame, the information meetings
are over before most heard about them. Go to the Township website, view the plans and comment to the Township council. There is a large ice community in Aldergrove with a voice. They have had ice for a long time. There has never been an indoor pool in Aldergrove so the swimming community does not have a large voice. Looking at the new recreation centre plans, it is easy to see who has the largest voice. I cannot emphasize enough that you must contact the Township councillors immediately to help generations of “would be” swimmers in Aldergrove. We are told that the recreation facility will open in May 2018. Let it open with warmth in winter for swimmers. Dianne Kask, Aldergrove
Alarming encounters in Langley City Dear Editor; The state of affairs in the parks in Langley City is deplorable. Encampments of homeless now abound, making even day time trips to the park dangerous and unwelcoming. In the last two weeks alone I have had frightening encounters and experiences in both Douglas Park and Nicomekl Park. I walk my dogs daily usually at Douglas Park or through the trails and into Nicomekl Park. During the last year I have seen a frightening change in both of these parks. At Douglas Park, which is directly behind an elementary school, I have come across
multiple used needles on the ground and in the planters. Open drug use at all times of the day goes on. The bushes along the west fence are being used as a toilet and reek of urine. People pass out all over the park from drug use and drinking, all the while a City-paid security guard wanders around ignoring it. At Nicomekl Park there is a large encampment of homeless people who hang out beside the bridge huffing paint, and drug use and dealing goes on openly. Recently my dogs and I were chased over the bridge by a male who was either high or crazy muttering threats at me because I
had no money to give him. This happened at 2 p.m. in the afternoon. There is garbage littering both parks now, some of which is likely biological waste. The river is full of garbage
and is used as a toilet as well. Complaints to the City, the police and politicians have gone unanswered. Dana Bowman, Langley
Boston Tea Party needed
Dear Editor, How has this council, like previous ones, raised our property taxes by almost four per cent again this year. They spend like drunken sailors in port for one night yet I haven’t seen anything in local media that would indicate we sheep, the taxpayers, have even noticed. Personally, I think it’s time for a taxpayer revolt – just compare your property tax increases over the past few years with the “additional” value you receive for these never-ending rip-off charges and you should be just about fed up. These bandits may be secure for another 3-1/2 years but we should be getting ready for a latter-day “Boston Tea Party.” Win Bromley, Langley Township

A new Aldergrove Recreation Centre was announced, complete with a new ice arena and community rooms, but most of the focus was on the 25 metre outdoor, year-round pool and associated water park. Readers weigh in: Is it just me, or is this the opposite of what people in Aldergrove wanted...an outdoor pool? For swimming in the rain and snow? For the same price of admission as Walnut Grove pool? This is a joke, right? – Annette Matthews If there is no INDOOR pool, why bother. Really when will the town of Aldergrove be treated like equals. – Ian Dickson The pool idea is cool. But isn’t it a little over board? Wouldn’t it have been cheaper to fix Aldergrove Lake?! I was so sad to see it covered up. – Ginger Page Broatch Can’t wait it’s gonna be awesome!! – Candice Clay Woo! Can’t wait. – Jay Corkum

either Lori Armour nor Lori’s Donair are strangers to Langley, but the two have finally come together inside four permanent walls in downtown Langley City this past week. The proprietor and her family have called Willoughby home for a dozen years, and Armour’s been in the donair business even longer. In fact, she’s been running Lori Donair
out of a trailer on Annacis Island since 1996, and this is the first permanent location for her business. Armour is pretty excited that it’s in her hometown. I’m speaking of the drive-thru diner at the crossroads of Douglas Crescent and 203rd Street – in the former Dairy Queen location in the Langley Plaza – that has, since those early days, been transformed into countless restaurants.

Enough talk about food, it’s gotta be lunchtime
ROXANNE HOOPER Well, after an intense month and a half of cleaning and more cleaning, painting every square inch inside and out, and performing a few minor renovations
and upgrades, Armour threw open the doors on that space last Thursday – her firstever non-mobile Lori’s Donair. And Armour is hosting the official grand opening on Saturday, July 18, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with partial proceeds from that day’s sales going to the Canadian Cancer Society. The event is expected to feature food, giveaways, and entertainment – including the musical stylings of her youngest son Cole – who has made quite a
name for himself as a singer – provided he can escape his duties behind the counter long enough to take to the stage.

He said they fell in love with the location. Cafe Plus, which he has tagged with the slogan “serving more than coffee…” will host its official grand opening in late July or early August. Good luck to both the Armour and Patel families on their new ventures.

CANADA DAY
Sisters bring synergy and song together
On July 1, a duo jumps between Vancouver and Langley stages. ROXANNE HOOPER rhooper@langleyadvance.com
I Found You is a fusion – a blend of country, pop, and rock that its two sibling creators – Robyn and Ryleigh Gillespie – believe could be their best work yet. For the first time ever, the pair of Langley singing and songwriting sisters have released a song written by both of them, and they’ve spent the past month travelling Western Canada telling anyone who will listen. One of their next stops is right here – in their hometown – when they perform this and other new Robyn & Ryleigh favourites at the JRfm Canada Day celebrations happening July 1 at the Langley Events Centre. “We’ve been on the road around B.C. and Alberta doing a radio and concert tour, along with wrapping up the recording process for our next album,” explained Robyn, the oldest of the musical duo. Late this spring, the sisters released I Found You to iTunes. It is the first single from their upcoming album – by the same name – which is expected to be released this fall. Pointing specifically to this single, Ryleigh explained how they tried something new in an effort to meld her inspirations of pop and rock with Robyn’s flare for country music, to create something danceable for everyone. “It was important to us to create something that will leave people with a smile,” Ryleigh added. “Music can make your mood go from

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
A newly unveiled mural that stretches along the east wall of the Royal Bank building in Brookswood has a simple message: community. The introduction of the acrylic art piece was a highlight of Summerfest at RBC Saturday afternoon, June 13. Artist Felicity Holmes joined dignitaries including Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese for a ceremonial ribbon cutting. Holmes completed the piece in roughly four months, working at her home studio in Brookswood. The mural features images distinctive to the area, including Tattoo, the fibreglass horse statue that was vandalized in Brookswood Park just before last year’s Summerfest. “You’ve got everything to

Industries to create the mural. “I am so honoured for everyone who came to help me and put my name forward to do this,” said Holmes, who has lived in Brookswood for the past 19 years. “Art is everything.” Holmes said she used “bright colours intentionally so that people can really see it.” Art is a hobby for Holmes, who works as a weekend manager at Backyard Vineyards in Langley.

Local talent headlines event
Walnut Grove Park hosts something for everyone June 27. RONDA PAYNE news@langleyadvance.com
Talent is one of the biggest draws at this year’s Walnut Grove Family Day Festival on Saturday, June 27. There will be plenty of things to see and do, but music and entertainment on the main stage will be constant throughout the day and perhaps what’s most exciting is just how much of that talent comes from in and around the Langleys. It’s a blend of kids entertainment, country music, animal exploration, and alternative rock as performers and presenters take turns

People can find lots to do at the Walnut Grove Family Day Festival. on the stage from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Langley’s own Gabe Penner will be on stage
with his two brothers, Josh and Levi, in their band Her Brothers. The self-taught alternative rock group per-
forms from 12:30 to 1 p.m. and will be looking to connect with the audience. “It’s great,” Penner said of performing at festivals. “It’s always different. It’s about the message of the music.” Having lived in Langley for most of his life, Penner and his brothers have been performing together for almost a decade, which is considerable given that the youngest, Levi, is just 15. “We’ve been performing as Her Brothers for three years,” he said. It’s the band’s first time performing at this event and they will bring a diverse mix of music to the afternoon. “We play a lot of our own stuff,” noted Penner. “But we also mix covers into our sets to build that trust and connection with the audience. It’s about connecting.”

Grove family event continues to grow …continued from A17
The brothers chose their band’s name from the desire to help women who don’t have a voice or can’t speak up for themselves. Sharing the stage throughout the day will be Surrey’s Korki the Clown, Abbotsford’s Kristal Barrett, Cloverdale’s Urban Safari Rescue and their Cinemazoo program, Zox of the Forest, Abbotsford’s Cambree Lovesy, Abbotsford’s 16-year-old Nicki Mier, and Langley performing duo Guy and a Girl.
For those not wanting to keep track of all the stage happenings, Fraser Valley 5 hosts Michael Thorne and Kristyl Clark will keep everyone informed throughout the day as emcees. Responsible for entertainment, Karen Reynolds, is part of the family day event’s committee. “We’ve got the whole park booked,” she said. “Even the [baseball] diamonds might have activity on them.” As the fourth annual event, organizers have listened to feedback from the

Around the park there will be plenty to see and do, Reynolds said. “There’s more field entertainment... more variety.” The Scouts will be on hand with their race cars, while there will also be a petting zoo, pony rides, a climbing wall, arts and crafts for kids, and the firehouse. “Soccer Shots is going to be there,” commented Reynolds. “They do demonstrations and stuff and the
community in putting the large event together. “There’s so many details,” Reynolds said. “We’ve been planning for months.” New to this year is the involvement of Independent Grocer which is providing food for the concession. “We wanted proceeds [from food sales] to go to the cause, so Independent Grocer has donated all the food,” noted Reynolds. She added that families had been concerned wtih the high prices of outside vendors in the past

LangleyAdvance is for Decorating made simple. Selecting the right colour can be challenging and it is easy to get overwhelmed by the thousands of colours, hues, textures and tints available. So why not make it easy and have a Benjamin Moore Colour Expert help you make a confident colour selection.
How a paint colour consultation works When you book your consultation a Benjamin Moore colour expert will come to your home to see your space and to talk to you about what you love in décor and design and colour. You can have pictures of styles you like on hand, if you like – but no preparation on your part is necessary. Your consultation could cover a new colour scheme for your home’s exterior, a kitchen or for an entire floor of your home. Your colour professional will assess all the fixed elements – things like countertops, the colour of the flooring, your couch, or the drapes you don’t plan on changing – to ensure the palette you choose together will complement what exists in your home. Our colour experts work with you to ensure that your home expresses your personality based on your feedback of what you like and don’t. From trim to ceiling, you’ll know exactly what colours you need and where each is to go. At the end you will be able to pick up your paint package at Langley Decorating Centre. If you don’t want to do the work yourself, no problem we can provide referrals for painters.

entered for a grand prize draw. Angie Quaale of Well Seasoned will be on site providing hot dogs and other treats by donation. All cats and kittens are spayed or neutered, tattooed, and get their first set of vaccinations before they are adopted, and the adoption fee includes a free check up with a local veterinarian and a bag of cat food. To help speed up the process, future cat-owners can download an application form to submit for pre-approval at www.lapsbc.ca/adopt. LAPS is planning to build an expanded facility to help care for cats, dubbed the ISOasis facility. With partial funding from Langley Township, it will allow cats to be isolated from one another and from other animals after they are first brought in as strays.
Palooza. “In order for us to help more homeless kittens, we need our Kitten Palooza to be huge success,” said LAPS executive director Sean Baker. “We’re running out of room.” Baker said he has never seen this many kittens come into the shelter at one time before. Many of the orphaned kittens have been fostered out to volunteers and staff. The younger ones have to be bottle fed. “They have to be fed every two hours day and night, for four weeks,” Baker said, adding that LAPS has amazing foster families. To help adopt out those kittens that are old enough, there are goodie bags for the first 30 adoptions this Saturday, and everyone who adopts will be

chives in a pot on the patio for many years. Every year it grows back – but not this year. Why? I watered it, gave it some liquid food to no avail.
Florence, Vancouver Dear Florence,
ANNE MARRISON
Dear Anne,
I’ve been growing
When you say you watered your chives, I wonder how frequently that was. This winter and spring, we had some very strange weather: torrential rain in
bursts but also very long spells of warm, dry weather. The dry spells were in months when we wouldn’t expect this. All this was very tricky for plants in containers. Containers do dry out frequently and when they do are very hard to re-wet because the dry soil can shrink away from the inner sides of the pot. You may drench the soil with water and
think the plants are having a good drink, not knowing the water is running down the soil crack around the inside edges and away. But it’s an odd problem. Chives have the reputation of being very hardy and healthy: no pests and the only disease is an occasional attack of rust which kills them if it’s let go for ages.

Using old seed is a gamble …continued from A30
Anything with a fat root storage area (bulbs, tubers or taproot) is usually quite resilient even to drought. Chives don’t have the big bulb that other alliums do, but their root does have some storage capability. It might be useful if you thoroughly dug up and removed the soil from the chives pot. Have a good look for little living creatures or anything that looks unusual. Discard that soil. There may be something to be learned here.

My lavender blooms are dying now. Does snipping the dead blossoms give me a second bloom before the end of the summer?
Heather Colpitts/Langley Advance
Seeds can last for years. If you’re really busy and not super-interested in gardening anyway, my advice would be to scatter the seeds somewhere on soil (so you tried) and leave it at that. But if you love gardening and have time to give the seeds somewhat better treat-
Terry Wong, South Burnaby Dear Terry,
Yes, it will. This is because lavender blooms on this year’s stems. It’s best to prune as early as you can so that new stems have time to grow and mature enough for blooms. Anne Marrison is happy to answer gardening questions. Send them to amarrison@shaw.ca

Dear Anne,
Dear Anne,
When my mother passed away, I found a box of old seeds from flowers she had grown, now they would be about 15 years old. Would they be any good or should I just throw them out.
ment, I’m going to suggest you do what I wish I had done with my father’s seeds. You might put some topsoil in a big flat, scatter the seeds on it, give them a gentle stir and keep them moist. Sometimes seeds have amazing vibrancy and if something did germinate (against all odds, admittedly) you’d probably feel pretty good about it.

Feast your eyes on this: This giant slab of steak was up for
judging late Saturday afternoon, during last weekend’s Canadian BBQ and Chili Festival at the Cascades Casino parking lot. Competitors cooked up Texas style chili, burgers, “mystery” proteins, and barbecued pork shoulder, beef brisket, chicken, and pork ribs. Their goal was to qualify for higher level events such as the Jack Daniels Invitational Barbecue in Lynchburg, Tenn., the American Royal in Kansas City, and The World Food Championships in Orlando, Fla.
ARTS IN BRIEF
Champion shares story ROXANNE HOOPER rhooper@langleyadvance.com
A book launch is being held tonight at a local car dealership. Although it’s not the traditional venue for a book signing, OpenRoad Infiniti’s in Langley’s high-end auto mall is hosting a celebration for Leah Goldstein and the release of her book, No Limits. The book is a powerful true story of Goldstein, and the autobiography is being hailed as a “stunning example” of a life without limits. Born in Vancouver, by age 11 she was a blackbelt. She enlisted in the Israeli Military, and became the first female instructor of the elite commando division before transitioning to a special forces unit combatting terrorism and violent crime. The extreme lifestyle of the secret police eventually took its toll on her, and she found her salvation in a bicycle. She then pursued a 10-year career as a professional cyclist in Europe and North America, and triumphed as world champion in the gruelling 3,000-mile Race Across America. From crashes to podiums, from fear to triumph, these memoirs gives a glimpse at what’s possible
from a “no limits” mindset. The celebration, emceed by News 1130’s Tammy Moyer, runs 7 to 9 p.m. tonight (Thursday, June 25) at the Infiniti dealership, 5995 Collection Dr.

Thunder stuns Salmonbellies The Langley Thunder’s 8-6 win over the New Westminster Salmonbellies Thursday at New Westminster’s Queen’s Park Arena fits into the “upset” category. The Thunder snapped a four-game skid to improve to 3-5 while the Salmonbellies suffered their first loss after opening the Western Lacrosse Association season with six straight wins. Thunder goaltender Rocky Bowman stopped 44 of 50 shots and was named the game’s first star. The Thunder hosted Maple Ridge last night, Wednesday, June 24, after the Langley Advance went to press.

V
ictor Blaine admits he is a bit of a risk-taker. So this makes gymnastics – a sport in which he goes airborne in all sorts of ways with the goal of (hopefully) landing on his feet – a natural fit. “I’m kind of that guy who looks for excitement,” he said. The 16-year-old Langley Gymnastics Foundation athlete flipped, flew, spun, and bent his way to a spot on the six-member Team BC men’s artistic gymnastics squad that will compete at the Western Canada Summer Games being held Aug. 7 to 16 in Wood Buffalo, near Fort McMurray, Alta. He qualified for the Western Canada meet from the Ogopogo Invitational held in West Kelowna from June 5 to 7. The top four all-around gymnasts along with two specialists qualified for the provincial men’s squad competing at the Western Canada Summer Games. Athletes made the team based on their scores in pommel horse, rings, floor exercise, vault, parallel bar, and high bar. On the strength of his firstplace result on vault and second-place effort on high bar, Blaine grabbed the fourth qualifying spot, and while satisfied with that, felt he could have done a little better. “I’m just proud I made the team,” the 16-year-old said. The current Western Canadian Gymnastics champion Lane Messier (Flicka) leads a strong
men’s artistic gymnastics team. Messier has won a total of five western Canada gold medals. Joining him is Gymnastics BC champion Treyson Cerrato (Surrey) who finished third at the western event. The other Team BC members are: Blaine, Dawson Friesen (Twisters), Cohen Kiers (Twisters), and Ryan Woodhead (Delta). Blaine’s coach at LGF, Kris Krunick, has confidence that the young athlete will be a major contributor to the provincial team’s score at the Games. “He has a chance at some individual medals as well if he hits his routines,” Krunick said. “At the Western championships in early May he was fourth all round and won a silver medal on floor and rings, so it’s possible.” Krunick said he was happy to see Blaine make this talented team, mostly for the experience of participating in a multi-sport event and also from the team aspect of this event. “It’s a lot of fun when you’re going to a competition with a team,” Krunick said. “I know this event will lead to bigger events for Victor in the future.”
B
laine is a veteran in the gymnastics world, starting 11 years ago, and over the past decade, has dedicated himself to the sport, training at the LGF facility connected to the Langley Events Centre five days and about 19 hours each week. “I find it fun and I’m pretty competitive,” he said. “I usually go year-by-year,” he added. “I make goals each year and if I achieve them, then I keep going harder and harder. Usually I keep my goals in a range that I know I can get.” On the topic of goals, Blaine’s is simple going into his first Western Canada Summer Games. He wants to be the best he can be, going up against gymnasts from Canada’s four western provinces and three territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut). “I just want to go there and do the best of my ability and try to hit, like, every event,” he said. Blaine is able to glean advice from LGF teammate Cam Stanley, who has competed at these Games before. “I can just ask him how the experience was,” Blaine said,
adding “I’ve competed against these guys before, too.” He does have experience at a high level competition, having attended the nationals last month in Gatineau, Que., placing 23rd out of 49 gymnasts. “I didn’t do as well as I wanted to but I did all right,” Blaine said. In Gatineau, he was joined by his LGF teammates Stanley and Tyler Welch.
Strong B.C. contingent
L
eading the B.C. women’s team into the Games is Ella Rogers, who is the current Western Canadian and Gymnastics BC champion. She joins a dynamic women’s artistic gymnastics team. Also representing Team BC is perennial provincial and western Canada medalist Darby McInytre. The Games take place once every four years. For B.C.’s young gymnasts, they are a great stepping stone to future Canadian championships and Canada Winter Games. The artistic gymnastics events are in the first week.

he 2014 ride raised just under $70,000, bringing the grand, overall total to roughly $645,000, all which goes to support B.C.’s newborns, children, and teens with life-threatening illnesses and their families, who require programs operated by Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. With a location in the heart of Vancouver and a Fraser Valley extension in Abbotsford now open, Canuck Place Children’s Hospice provides specialized pediatric palliative care for children living with a life-threatening illness and support for their families throughout the province. To donate to Ride for the Kids online, visit rideforkids. ca. Bandura stressed that the 165 km cycling journey is for a great cause. “We’ve allocated our funds that we raise this year to go to the hospice in Abbotsford, because that’s where it’s definitely needed,” he said.
There is no specific goal this year, in terms of how much money is raised. “Once you start to set numbers, then things start to spiral out of control,” Bandura explained. “The whole ride was designed to create awareness and raise as much as we possibly can for the children and families that really need it at the hospice. So if we raise $1,000, great, if we raise $100,000, that’s also great.” arco Diotte and Rob Neufeld and those close to them have been touched by the work that the staff at Canuck Place does, and both are riding July 2. The five-year-old granddaughter of Diotte’s wife’s best friend passed away three years ago, and her family was helped greatly by Canuck Place in Vancouver. Through it all, Diotte said, the staff at the hospice did “everything they could do for [the family] in those last moments.”

Fort Langley National Historic Site
The many cultures of Canada are celebrated at the July 1 events at the Fort Langley National Historic Site.
HISTORIC SITE
Fort celebrates the nation
History and modern culture spotlighted.
Fort Langley’s marking of the 148th birthday of this nation includes a ceremony to swear in several new Canadians. The Fort Langley National Historic Site is the setting for a citizenship ceremony on Canada Day at 10 a.m. near the Big House. The July 1 activities at the place where B.C. became a British colony includes activities for all ages and free admission, one of only a handful of times during the year when people are admitted free. Enjoy multicultural music, cake and ceremony at noon and family activities. After the citizenship ceremony, stick around for O Canada by the Kwantlen at the site flagpole at about 11:45 a.m. followed by cake at noon. The Metis dancers are next up at 12:30. People can also take in Japanese Taiko drummers at the cooperage building starting at 12:45 p.m. At 1 p.m. the cooperage building takes on a different international flavour when the Royal Academy of Bhangra Dancers perform. They perform again at 2 p.m. Up at the Big House the First Capital Chorus performs barbershop music starting at 1:30 p.m.
A historic weapons demonstration takes place in the gallery (elevated walkway at the north end of the fort) starting at 2:30 p.m. The entertainment includes Hawaiian dancers at the cooperage at 3 p.m. and
Eureka at the gold mining tent. There are all day activities, such as airsoft muskets, children’s activities, farm animals, blacksmithing, coopering and visiting the displays around the fort. The village’s cele-
bration continues at the neighbouring museums all day, including the Langley Centennial Museum and the BC Farm Machinery and Agricultural Museum, easily within walking distance of the historic site.

On yer bike: How about a 148 kilometre bike ride to mark 148 years of Canada? The BC Randonneurs are hosting the Canada Day Populaire, a ride that starts in Yorkson Community Park. The cost is $20 per rider and people can sign up in advance
