LangleyAdvanceLangley played host to nearly4,000 athletes competing in25 sports from Sept. 9-13.by Heather Colpittsand Troy [email protected]

Langley has played host to thelast BC Senior Games ever.

“We are the final BC SeniorsGames,” said Langley Games pres-ident Milt Kruger.

Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLARich Coleman used the LangleyGames closing ceremony Saturdayas a chance to unveil a bigchange.

They’ve been rebranded as the55-plus BC Games to better reflectthe changing society that seespeople living longer and healthier,and more active, lives.

The 27th annual games drew3,800 competitors ages 55 andolder. The male and female ath-letes competed in 25 sports ran-ging from cribbage to ice hockey.

Roughly 1,200 volunteersoffered helping hands over thefive days of competition andsocial activities.

Kruger praised all those whohelped with the games, particu-larly Michael Jackstein who “kindof puts on games in his sleep.”This was Jackstein’s third set ofgames.

BC GamesSociety pres-ident WayneNaka, ofNelson, saidhe hadn’t hadmuch occasionin the past tospend time inLangley.

“I’m in aweof what hashappenedhere,” hesaid.

The NorthVancouverorganizingcommitteeof the 55+Games in2015 were at the Langleyevents Sept. 9-13.

North Van Games Society pres-ident Brad Lund said it helps tosee the games unfold before hav-ing to host them.

“I had no idea what we weregetting into with it but my boardis still here,” Lund quipped. “Itreally opened our eyes as to theinter-connectedness of all the dir-ectorates.”

Last Wednesday, Sept. 10,marked the first day of trackand field competition at McLeod

Athletic Park, and LangleyTownship Councillor SteveFerguson put his running skills tothe test.

“I’m not going to setany worldrecords,”Fergusonsaid Sept. 3,prior to thegames start-ing. “Afterall, I was oncouncil whenmost of thesefacilities werebuilt and thisis the first timethat I am ableto participate asan accreditedathlete.”

Ferguson, 60,finished last inhis 200-metrerace but had funin the process,

chuckling as he rambled down thehome stretch.

Ferguson signed up to com-pete as soon as the games wereannounced.

All told, Ferguson has served asa Township councillor for 21 yearsand has seen many facilities, thatwere utilized for the games, builtin the community.

“You get involved and for thefirst time, you get a chance toparticipate,” he said. “I thought,‘Hey, the opportunity’s there.’”

Ferguson was not surprised inthe least at the level of competi-tion. He used to play rugby com-petitively and had, he said, “a bitof speed there,” but wasn’t able todemonstrate that last Wednesday.

“I knew I’d have a problem butit’s all about participating, havingfun, and generating inter-

est in the community,” he said.Also at MAP on Sept. 10, 85-

year-old Isaac Thiessen participat-ed in his 20th provincial seniorsgames.

“I feel good, I just don’t havethe same speed anymore,”Thiessen said.

As the games approached,Thiessen, who has lived inLangley for the past 15 years,trained five days a week in run-ning and throwing events.

Practice paid off. Competingin the men’s 85-89 age division,Thiessen won gold medals in the100m and 200m races, and longjump, and earned a bronze medalin hammer throw.

He also finished fourth in jav-elin to go along with sixth placeresults in the discus and shot put.

The games are all about keepingseniors active, Thiessen said, and

for the camaraderie.“You meet people from

all across the provinceand you meet some of thesame people every year,but you get some newones come in – there werea couple of new ones thisyear,” he said.

Looking forward,Thiessen isn’t sure howmany more games he’llbe participating in.

“Sometimes I wonder,”he said. “I’m thinkinganother couple of years,anyway, because nextyear the [55+] games

are in North Van, and the onesafter that is in Coquitlam. Rightnow, I’m thinking, I’ll do those.”

Opening ceremonies sawspeeches from dignitaries includ-ing Langley Township MayorJack Froese and Acting Mayor ofLangley City Ted Schaffer.

Athletes representing each of theregional zones from around theprovince marched into the LEC’sarena, with a sizeable contingentfrom Zone 3, which includesLangley.

The Township burning banstays in place until theweather gets wetter.by Heather [email protected]

Blame the weather for theburning and for not burning.

Local fire departments haveseen plenty of brush fire andburning complaints in recentweeks due to the lack of rain.

“There’s been quite a fewbrush fires because it’s beenso dry,” said Russ Jenkins,Township district fire chief.

Often people will discard ciga-rette butts or improperly handlea campfire, leading to firesbecause of the dryness and firecalls.

Langley Township has decidedto wait to issue burning permits.

Normally permits are issuedSept. 15 to Oct. 30.

Not this year.“Burning permit season has

been postponed,” Jenkins said.

No burning permits will beissued until the weather chan-ges.

“It’s been a dry year and a drysummer,” he said. “We still havea burning ban.”

The owners of a formerdrug operation missed theirdeadline to test and reporton contaminated soil.

by Matthew [email protected]

The owners of a Langley prop-erty contaminated by an illegaldrug lab missed their deadline tofile a report with the provincialEnvironment Ministry.

The property in the 20600block of 72nd Avenue wasraided by the RCMP in April.The police found a sizeable andsophisticated ecstasy lab, andcarted away barrel after barrel ofchemicals.

The drug makers had simplybeen flushing the waste fromtheir work straight out the backof a shed on the property. Fromthere, it had worked its waydown the slope, killing off black-

berry bushes and leaving pud-dles of water slick with chemicalresidue.

The makers had apparentlybeen renting the property forsome time.

Neighbours down the hill sud-denly had an answer for whatthat foul smell in the ditch along207th Street had been.

A brown, iron-rich residue hadbeen building upfor some time.

Since then,neighbours havebeen trying to findout what had hap-pened to their land.

According to the Ministry ofthe Environment, the ownerof the land is responsible fora cleanup, and for any testingof neighbouring properties, ifnecessary.

No one has yet contacted theneighbours to test their proper-ties.

“Not a word, not a peep,” said

Trevor Lassam, who lives dir-ectly south and downhill of theformer drug lab.

“If we don’t know what’s in it,how is it affecting our health?”Lassam said.

The owners failed to turn overa Site Risk Classification Reportto the ministry by an Aug. 30deadline.

“The min-istry followedup with theowner’s agenton Sept. 2,”said a statementfrom the min-istry.

The owners said they couldn’tget their contractor back to fin-ish the testing and report.

Another consultant has beenhired, according to the owners.

Lassam was not happy withthe missed deadline.

“They have not complied andmissed the deadline,” he said inan email to the Langley Advance.“How many times are they

allowed to continue to do thiswith the MoE’s [Ministry of theEnvironment’s] blessing?”

Lassam said extensions shouldnot be allowed.

He also raised concerns thattest results could be different inthe near future. If the fall rainsbegin in earnest, it could washsome of the contaminants down-hill.

“The ministry expectsto receive the Site RiskClassification Report along witha proposed schedule to completework in the next few weeks,”said the ministry statement. “Ifthe responsible party does notrespond voluntarily the Ministryof Environment could order theowner to complete the necessaryinvestigation, remediation andreport to the ministry.”

Failing to comply couldresult in charges under theEnvironmental Management Act.

The maximum penalty wouldbe six months in jail and a$200,000 fine.

A man and womanfrom Langley arecharged in connectionwith a big haul.

by Heather [email protected]

Two thirty-somethingsfrom Langley have beenarrested and a massivefraud operation disman-tled.

The charges will eveninclude a data breach ofPharmaNet.

On July 17, the RCMP“E” Division FederalSerious and OrganizedCrime Section (FSOC),with the assistance ofLangley RCMP, the LowerMainland EmergencyResponse Team andthe Integrated ForensicIdentification Section, exe-cuted a warrant at a NorthLangley residence duringan investigation of severalfraudulent transactions.

The FSOC investigationwas initiated in June 2014after a common suspectwas identified throughAbbotsford Police, VictoriaPolice and Burnaby RCMPinvestigations.

Police seized:• in excess of $100,000

worth of construction,excavation and lawnequipment,

• more than 13,000 cred-it card numbers,

• identity informationfor many individuals whohad no association to theresidence,

• counterfeit governmentidentity documents in vari-ous stages of manufacture,

• equipment required tomanufacture counterfeitdocuments and

• a Canada Post uni-form.

“These items arebelieved to have beenacquired through fraudand many of the indi-viduals identified andcontacted during thisinvestigation process werepreviously unaware thatthey had been victimized,”said S/Sgt. John Taylor ofFSOC.

One man was arrested

on outstanding fraudcharges and will stay incustody.

Giovanni Michael Aiello,32, and Nichole MariaMcGregor, 36, both ofLangley, face several char-ges including fraud, iden-tity theft, possession ofproperty obtained by crimeand possession of instru-ments for forging creditcards.

“Economic integrity isan RCMP priority and asa result the RCMP inves-tigates and disrupts avariety of offences associ-ated to financial crime,”said Taylor. “Individualsinvolved in criminalbehaviour are often activein many areas of illegalactivity.”

The RCMP offers tips tohelp prevent fraud:

• Identity theft canoccur over the Internetor telephone, or via faxor regular mail. Be waryof unsolicited e-mails,telephone calls or mailattempting to extract per-sonal or financial informa-tion from you.

• Periodically checkcredit reports, bank andcredit card statements.Report irregularities toyour financial institutionor one of the credit report-ing agencies: EquifaxCanada, 1-800-465-7166or Transunion, 1-877-525-3823.

• Shield your personalidentification numberwhen using an ATM orPIN pad.

• Shred personal andfinancial documents priorto disposing of them.

If you feel you may be avictim of fraud:

• Contact your bank orcredit card issuer immedi-ately. They may block thecard to prevent losses,ask you to change a PINor issue a new card. Thebank may ask you to signan affidavit if there arefraudulent transactionsin your account. If thereis money missing, theywill work to get it back asquickly as possible.

• Contact the credit bur-eau and have fraud alertsput on your credit reports.

• Contact local police.

BC RCMP photoShops should be alert afteranother warning of fake U.S.currency circulating in Langley.by Matthew [email protected]

Fake American $100 bills arebeing passed to local store clerks,the Langley RCMP warned Friday.

The bills have been turning overthe last month, said Cpl. HollyMarks, with the Langley RCMP.

An unknown woman paid forgoods on Aug. 6 and four youngpeople did the same on Aug. 7 and9, using the fakes.

Police have seized the notes andidentified the young people. Their

parents have been informed of theiractions, said Marks.

Police are asking merchantsand store clerks to learn aboutthe security features of U.S. andCanadian currency.

If you suspect you have beenoffered a counterfeit note, thepolice say you should politely ref-use, saying you suspect it is fake,and ask for another bill, whichshould also be checked.

Tell the person to check the notewith the local police, and call thepolice to tell them of a possibleattempt to pass counterfeit cur-rency.

“Be courteous,” said Marks.“Remember that the person in pos-session of the bill could be an inno-cent victim who does not realize

that the note is suspicious.”Information on the security fea-

tures of U.S. money can be found atmoneyfactory.com/anticounterfeit-ing/securityfeatures.html.

Information on Canadian moneycan be found at bankofcanada.ca/banknotes/counterfeit-prevention.

Store owners who want to getmore information, or who wouldlike a safety presentation to theirstaff, can call the Langley RCMPBusiness Link coordinator at 604-532-3210.

This is the second warning aboutcounterfeit bills since August, whenthe RCMP warned that the LowerMainland and Okanagan were see-ing an increase in counterfeits. Thebills were mostly $20 and $50 billsfrom the 2004 series.

That’s the way it works in this business:you go away on vacation for just a couple ofweeks, and when you get back, the wholeworld has completely changed.

Take the teachers strike, for instance. Thereare thousands of miles of difference.

When I left, parents and kids were hopefulthat a settlement was imminent.

Teachers were willing to go into mediation– if only the government would be reason-able about just what might bemediated – and there were hintsof binding arbitration floatingabout.

Government negotiators werewilling to go into mediation – ifonly the teachers’ union wouldbe reasonable about just whatmight be mediated – and therewere hints floating about that the teacherscould take their binding arbitration and shoveit.

Meanwhile, champion mediator Vince Readyannounced that he was standing by to step inat a moment’s notice and start mediating – assoon as there was something to mediate.

Most folks without kids of school age cynic-ally suggested that school wouldn’t get back insession until at least October.

When I left my desk two weeks ago, JimIker of the B.C. Teachers Federation andEducation Minister Peter Fassbender were bothshouting long and loud to anyone with ears tohear (and at each other) about not bargainingpublicly through the media, and getting downto business with each other behind closeddoors, to get those kids back into the securityof their classrooms as quickly and smoothlyas possible where they can get started on thenext phase of learning benefiting from B.C.’seducation system which has been proven to be

among the best in the world.Indeed, there were “intensive” bargaining

sessions being undertaken between the BCTFand the government’s BCPSEA lackeys… er…negotiators, and things were looking good fora quick settlement.

Premier Christy Clark – who actually startedthis whole mess back in 2002 – was nowhereto be seen, leaving the dirty work to her spe-cially picked henchman Fassbender.

And, did I say? Kids and parents were hope-ful that teachers would be back in the class-rooms and school would get underway reallysoon.

See what I mean?Everything is completely different now from

what it was two weeks ago when I left forvacation.

Vince Ready is ready to medi-ate, everyone is bickering overbinding arbitration, Iker andFassbender publicly proclaimthe need to take their fight outof the media and into the back-room, where indeed, franticnegotiations are taking place,with hints that the public should

be optimistic that something might actuallyhappen between now and… well… betweennow and sometime soon when we can all behopeful that kids will get back into the secur-ity of their classrooms as quickly and smoothlyas possible where they can get started on thenext phase of learning benefiting from B.C.’seducation system which has been proven to beamong the best in the world.

And Premier Clark, ever mindful of the crit-ical nature of the dispute and its importance toBritish Columbia’s future, is heading to India.

You see? The whole situation is changingcompletely: two weeks ago, Premier Clark(what is it about Premier Clarks in this prov-ince, anyway?) was keeping her mouth shutabout B.C.’s education turmoil right here inB.C., and soon she will be keeping her mouthshut about B.C.’s education turmoil thousandsupon thousands of miles away, in India.

Not the same thing at all.Completely different.

Everything iscompletely differentnow from what itwas two weeks ago.

OpinionOur View

Big decisionson civic leaders

We’re all a little distracted by the ongoinglabour fight between the province andteachers, so people may not have noticedthat election season is about to start again.

This Nov. 15, we’ll be going to the pollsto select our mayors and councillors, notjust here in the Langleys, but across theprovince.

This will also be the first time that localpoliticians will be serving four-year termsinstead of the three-year terms that havebeen the norm for the past few decades.

Four years is a long time. Whoever ischosen this November will have power tohelp define many things about our com-munities. They will have say over propertytax rates, over which new neighbourhoodsdevelop and how quickly they grow, overhow often the grass is mowed on playingfields and on how many hanging basketsthere are on municipal streets. They candetermine the location of new stop lights,roundabouts, and bike lanes. They are thepeople we call about potholes and snow-covered streets.

In addition, we’ll be electing school trust-ees, who have power over whether smallerschools close or stay open, and over themany special programs offered across thedistrict.

Considering they’re this important, it’sa shame that so few people will vote thisNovember. If the turnout is more than 25per cent, that would represent a pretty goodyear, historically speaking.

In the next few months, we’ll be rev-ving up our coverage of municipal electionissues, talking to candidates, and coveringthe debates that will be sponsored by sev-eral local organizations. The Langley Advancewill do its best to cover the major issuesand hit the high points. But between theCity, Township, and board of education,voters will also have some responsibilityto look into things for themselves. Checkout candidate websites, write letters to theeditor about issues of concern, attend thedebates. The next four years are up forgrabs. Don’t sit on the sidelines.

Last week’s question:Who should be fired over the teachers strike?

Advance Poll…

Tue sday, Sep t embe r 16 , 2014 A7Letters to the EditorLangleyAdvance

Dear Editor,Following is an open letter in regards to

the education labour dispute:Dear Mr. Jim Iker, Mr. Peter Cameron,

and Hon. Peter Fassbender,My name is Spring Kristensen. I’m 13

and I am going into Grade 8 at D.W. PoppySecondary for my first year of highschool. I am emailing you today becauseI have some concerns about the teacherstrike that is going on.

See, here’s the thing: I know you’retrying to negotiate with each other andall, about the raise in teachers’ pay andsmaller class sizes.

Last year in my class at North OtterElementary I had 29 classmates and nineof them needed extra help, so it slowed therest of us down, and it was just so difficultfor everyone, especially our teacher, Mrs. S.Spence.

I think you should be asking the studentswhat they think, not just teachers and thegovernment.

People like my friends and I care whathappens to the teachers, to the government,and to the other students.

I’m very sorry to say it, but to me, itseems like you guys are only thinking aboutyourselves, not the students.

Some of the students are happy to getmore of a summer, but for students like me,we kind of miss school. I like learning andbeing a part of the school, like helping out,joining clubs, and just being helpful.

Sadly, sometimes I wonder if we are evergoing to go back to school.

So throughout my email, what I’m tryingto say is, we need to go back to school!

Please, you all need to lower class sizes,

because it’s just too difficult for the teacherto try and help everyone when there are somany of us.

The pay, to be honest, I really don’tknow. My mom’s pay is considered a lowincome pay, and she works about 35 hoursa week (with only three weeks unpaid vaca-

tion a year). Somehow, thanksto God, we manage to pay all thebills, but we don’t have any leftover after that is done (to let youknow: she is a university gradu-ate with a degree and is in man-agement, but it is still tough).

I’m starting to think that theteachers don’t need a pay raise.

They make three times what my momdoes, and also three times the vacation!Seems to me, that’s just unfair. People likemy mom, single parents with children, dodeserve the raise, not the teacher. My momis strong, she works hard, and I try to belike her every day.

Both sides say, “It’s all about the stu-dents.” Well, if it is all about the students,then stop acting like children and work itout!

You guys are making this more difficultthan it needs to be. Seriously, I think youshould just take the teachers’ pay raise andput it towards the schools, instead.

The teachers are wanting more help forthe students who need it, so give the teach-ers a small raise and put the rest towardsstudents who need help with learning.

Please think about what I have said, andthe next time you to have a meeting, sin-cerely try and figure out a way to comprom-ise, so that we can go back to school.

Spring Kristensen, Langley

Education labour dispute

Negotiators act like children

Lettersto the

Editor

Dear Editor,I went to read a let-

ter to the editor and wasappalled at your poll aboutwho should be fired [Whoshould be fired over theB.C. teachers strike? Sept.9-11 Advance Poll, LangleyAdvance].

That poll is an absoluteinsult to the 37,000-plus

teachers who are on strikefor public education, and tothe CUPE staff who are sup-porting us.

This government’s agendais to privatize education(see New Zealand, U.S.,and England, for example).They have never had anyintention of settling thisdispute through negotiation.

If so, this would have beenresolved a long time ago,before Phase 1, Phase 2, oreven Phase 3.

Teachers are taking astand because we can nolonger support a systemthat is underfunded by agovernment that is willingto support its corporate sup-porters.

Students of all abilities areunable to get the supportthey need. This includesspecial needs, LST, ELL,gifted students, and theaverage student.

Students wait years forpsycho-educational testing.Some may never get therequired assessment, due tothe caseload.

Students in need of coun-sellors need to take a num-ber and hope the counsellorhas time in the given yearto meet with them.

It’s time the media opentheir eyes to see the trueagenda of this governmentand report the facts andleave the polling to profes-sionals who first understandthe importance of framinga question and second listthe choices in alphabeticalorder.

I hope you apologize toyour readers. Many of themlive in your community andare suffering severe finan-cial hardship.

Glenys McFarlane, Surrey


Poll question insults all teachers


Government leaving kids outDear Editor,

Have you noticed the government’s reasons for not set-tling have nothing to do with kids? They argue that theydon’t want to raise taxes or share the surplus with theteachers, that they want to avoid further court actions, andthat they want to get rid of past court rulings, they don’twant to set precedents that may affect other union bargain-ing. As well, they can’t give the teachers “double” whatothers got (a myth). And of course, they have to put the“greedy teachers” (another big myth) in their place.

And as for the facts that the government is putting for-ward, they are at best suspect.

But one fact is clear to me: they – Christy Clark, PeterFassbender, Mike DeJong, et al – just don’t seem to careabout the kids. So much for “families first!”

The kids should definitely be in school now, and theirparents are right in being concerned about their children’seducation.

But if we are worried about our children’s educationand future, then we should also have additional concernsabout the society in which they will live. Will they live in ahealthy and true democracy and a free and just society thatis respectful of the law, all of its people? Will they live in asociety that really does care about its children?

Just what is this government’s real agenda? It’s not kids,that’s for sure.

Everything went as plannedfor the Langley City TerryFox Run, except for theturnout of participants.

Glorious Sunday morningweather, a small army of volun-teers, sponsors, and new routesignage gave the Langley CityTerry Fox Run the potential tobe the most successful yet.

But, befuddling the event’stwo co-chairs, the Sept. 14 fund-raiser for cancer research sawthe number of participants downby half from last year.

Organizers are thanking vol-unteers and calling the run asuccess, despite numbers beingdown by almost 50 per cent,with 152 people turning up atDouglas Park for an event thatgot underway at 10 a.m.

Co-chairs Rick Barnett andLilianne Fuller are puzzled as towhy.

“Publicity wise and themethod we used for gettingthe word out was handled thesame as every other year. Weutilized social media and theweather certainly co-operated.So we’re at a loss to explain thelower turnout,” said Barnett, theincoming 2015 chair.

However, there were plenty ofpositives to take from this year’srun.

Barnett said a common com-plaint last year was the markingof the route or (lack thereof).

With a $500 grant from theCity, discounted printing costsfrom Signboom printers, and a$250 cash donation from ValleyFirst Aid, organizers purchased70 route signs that Barnett saidwould prove valuable to the run-ners and walkers.

When all was said and done,$6,000 was raised from theLangley City event, and that

included proceeds from a silentauction, a new addition thisyear.

The silent auction includedmultiple donations from variousLangley businesses.

“The generosity of Langley’smerchants is unbelievable andthey made our first auction asuccessful one. We raised almost$800 from that alone,” Barnettsaid.

Added Fuller, “We wanted to

raise money, and we wanted tosalute Terry’s epic Marathon ofHope. We wanted to celebratea true Canadian hero, and wedid. I’m a little disappointed [atthe turnout of participants] butI don’t think Terry would be.We did our best and that’s all heasked of all Canadians.”

This year’s Terry Fox Run washeld the day after the BC SeniorsGames ended and despite fearsof volunteer fatigue, helpers

were in abundance.“A total of 50 volunteers came

together to make the event agreat success,” Barnett said.“Langley truly is a volunteerhub.”

Plans are already underway fornext year’s run.

Grove raises $5,000In Walnut Grove, the run got

underway around 9:15 a.m.Sunday, and thanks in part tothe late summer sunshine, wasa success.

The Walnut Grove Terry FoxRun raised more than $5,000 forthe cause, and included 140 par-ticipants.

Fifteen volunteers, mostlyfrom the Rotary Club of LangleySunrise, organized the event,along with help from Townshipof Langley staff.

“We had exceptional weather,the turnout was great, and weraised money for a good cause,”organizer Midori Turner said.

Aldergrove RunAldergrove welcomed the

fundraiser back to its commun-ity, with two different five-kilo-metre routes that were suitablefor bikes, wheelchairs, strollers,and dogs on leashes.

Fifty people participated, rais-ing just under $1,000.

The registration desk for the Terry Fox Run in Walnut Grove was buzzing with activity Sunday morning. Participants set off from theWalnut Grove Community Centre at roughly 9:15 a.m. on Sept. 14.


Before setting out on the Terry Fox Run on Sunday morning, participants including Doug Strongitharm (foreground, wearing a hat and sunglasses) took part in a warmup in front of theWalnut Grove Community Centre.

This year marks the 34thannual Terry Fox Run andpeople in 112 communities inB.C. and the Yukon were run-ning, walking, or rolling to keepalive Terry Fox’s dream of eradi-cating cancer.

Since Fox first dipped his legin the harbour in St. John’s,

Nfld., more than $650 mil-lion has been raised for cancerresearch, worldwide, in hisname.

According to the Terry FoxFoundation, 84 cents of everydollar donated goes to research.To date it has funded 1,152research projects.

A Saturday bikedonation event willhelp get the wheelsturning on an inititiaveto help in Africa.by Heather [email protected]

Admit it.Your backside is likely

never going to get re-acquainted with that bikeseat.

So why not donate thatbike at a new charity drivein Langley?

Bicycles for Humanity isholding a collection drive1-5 p.m. on Sept. 20 atSharon United Church,21562 Old Yale Rd. Therewill also be a barbecuelunch available.

Mike Kirk has taken onthe task of collecting bikesfor theWhistler-basedcause. Herides rec-reationallybut knowsthese arenot just toysto the people in Africawho receive them.

“It’s pretty empowering,the gift of mobility,” he

said.A doctor can make four

to five times as manyhouse calls with a bike,compared to walking, anda bike can mean the differ-ence between a child being

able to goto school ornot.

He addedthat bikesare usedfor trans-port, to getgoods to

market, such as a farmerwith his produce.

A container can hold400-500 bikes and dona-

tions can help cover thetransport costs.

He’s already obtainedsome bikes, out of a stor-age locker in Maple Ridgeand about half a dozenfrom a garage sale.

People can donate bikes– “anything that’s not bentor too rusted,” he saidas well as bike parts andmoney at the Saturdayevent. The bikes will beshipped to Uganda andNamibia, and the shippingcontainer used is turnedinto a bike shop once overthere.

by Heather [email protected]

HHe’s not to befound on theRCMP’s prolific

offender list but a youngfellow in Brookswood isgaining a reputation forproperty crimes.

He’s prowling a smallarea of Brookswood,in fact right around his home. So far he’staken stuffed animals, a half dozen so far,and secreted them into his bed.

It’s a bit embarass-ing for his ‘petparents’ as one is aretired police officer.

About a year agothe family took in twoginger males which,after settling in, wereallowed some outdoortime during daylighthours.

The one brother hasstarted in on a life ofcrime, and the otherain’t talkin’.

Friend Mike Harveysaid the family wantsto remain anonymous,but did want to warnof their furry, furtive

feline, lest kids’ toys have gone missingfrom neighbours who will likely recognizethe suspect from the arresting photo.

Unfortunately Carrie did not enjoy thecommotion that comes with living with kids,and would only come out at night to spendtime with the cats and the adults in the home.So after about 4 months, her loving familydecided it was best to return her to us so shecould find a home that would better suit herneeds. Carrie is now looking for a quieter homewithout children. Older teen age kids could bean option as long as the overall energy of thehome is peaceful. Something we learned is thatthis girl loves other cats and could fit in easilywith other kitties in the home. If you have been“Carrie’d” away by this natural beauty, pleasecall LAPS at 604 857-5055

intake, Spar stopped thriving and sadly passed awayBut Spyro was not giving up that easily, He pulled throughand was adopted at 9 weeks old. About a year later, he wasreturned from adoption because he just wasn’t fitting into theirfamily. Spy is just about the coolest cat we have and if any ofthe LAPS staff had a spot available in their homes, he would bethe first one they’d pick. This guy, just like a lot of male felines,has to be on urinary SO food to prevent any bladder issuesfrom reoccurring. Spyro is great with dogs both big and small,and would get along with another active, playful cat. Spy is veryadventurous and can get into some trouble if he doesn’t getenough stimulation and play time with his humans. After over113 days in shelter, Spyro deserves his furry tail ending. If you

As they head intotheir regular season, theLangley Rivermen havenamed their captain.

Third year forwardKevan Kilistoff will havethe honour of wearing thecaptain’s “C” on his jerseyfor the 2014/2015 B.C.Hockey League campaign.

Kilistoff posted 29 pointsin 56 games with theRivermen last season.

“It’s definitely an hon-our,” he said. “I’m aLangley kid, so being acaptain of your hometownteam is a real honour.”

“It was a no-brainer forus,” Rivermen head coachand general managerBobby Henderson said.“Kevan’s a guy that comesto work every day with apositive attitude. He’s as

reliable as they come andwill be a big part of ourhockey club this season.”

Kilistoff admits he’s notthe most vocal leader, butwill let his play do thetalking.

“I feel more mature thisyear,” hesaid. “I’llhave more ofa role talkingto the guys.I’m going tobe more of aleader this year. I usuallytry to lead by example, butI’ll have to work on beingmore of a vocal leader thisyear.”

If exhibition play countsfor anything, the Rivermenwill have momentumheading into the regularseason.

The ’Men finished thepre-season at 4-0 follow-ing Sunday afternoon’s9-7 win over the visitingPowell River Kings at theLangley Events Centre.

“We’ve been prettyimpressed with the new-

comers,”Henderson said.“Despite thebig turnover wehad last year,we’ve got agood group and

we were fortunate to getsome good recruits. Welook to be in pretty goodshape for the year.”

While much of the train-ing camp has been focusedon team chemistry, thetopic of goaltenders is onethat Henderson is not tooconcerned about, with Bo

Didur and Darren Martinsharing netminding duties.

“Both guys are verycapable, hungry anddriven,” said Henderson.

“We’ve got a good tan-dem, who have two dif-ferent styles. Darren’smore of a technical goalie,aggressive, big and takes

up a lot of net. Bo’syounger, not as big physic-ally, great athletic abilityand can make the big savewhen needed.”

Junior A hockey


Kevan Kilistoff didn’t wear the “C” on his jersey during the Langley Rivermen’s final pre-season game versus thePowell River Kings Sunday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre. However, the third-year forward will have thathonour starting this Friday, when the Rivermen open their regular season against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, aspart of the Bauer BCHL Showcase at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre.

‘Captain Kevan’ leader of ’MenHometown boy Kevan Kilistoff will captain the Langley Rivermen as thejunior A hockey team prepares for the 2014/15 campaign.

Langley outscored thevisiting Powell River Kings9-7 in a game filled withpenalties and ejections.

The Langley Rivermen finishedthe pre-season undefeated, beat-ing the Powell River Kings 9-7at the Langley Events Centre onSunday.

Both teams showcased theiroffensive talents as well theirphysicality. The game sawcountless penalties, fights andejections.

“Mentally, we have to besharper,” Rivermen head coachBobby Henderson said. “I fig-ured the compete level would behigh. I don’t think anybody oneither team wanted to get eject-ed. They were trying to makeimpressions, so I’m not reallysurprised by it.”

“It was a little bit disappoint-ing,” Kings head coach Kent

Lewis said. “The games to beplayed a certain way and ourteams’ always played with someedge, but it was a little stupidtoday.”

The Rivermen were led byforward Erik Udahl, who scoredtwo goals.

“Erik gets better every gameand is someone that creates alot of chances,” Henderson said.“[Will] Campion showed somegood signs. We’ll have to makedecisions that make the mostsense for the team.”

Henderson and the rest ofthe Rivermen coaching staffwill finalize the roster later thisweek and narrow it down to theleague maximum, 22 players, byFriday.

After Bo Didur got the start innet against Surrey in Friday’s 3-1 victory.

Darren Martin was betweenthe pipes for the RivermenSunday afternoon, giving upseven goals on 34 shots.

“Bo was really sharp on

Friday,” said Henderson.“Darren got strung out a bit,based on the style of thegame. He got rattled early andwould’ve liked to have a couplegoals back. He ended up bearing

down, finishing the game andgot it done. There’s a lot more tohis game than what he showedtonight.”

Powell River was led bysecond year forward Jarid

Lukosevicius, who scored twicein the defeat. Lukosevicius ledthe Kings in scoring last season.

Despite his team going 4-0 inthe pre-season, Henderson is notreading too much into it.

“I don’t think we saw thebest out of any of the teams,”he said. “Powell River’s a team[which is] competitive becauseof their coaching, so they’ll getbetter each game. Surrey andCoquitlam, once they get theirrosters in place, will be tough.Top to bottom, there’s no sleep-ers in this league. Any givennight, any team can beat any-body.”

The Rivermen begin the regu-lar season this Friday when theyplay Salmon Arm at ProsperaCentre in Chilliwack, as part ofthe Bauer BCHL Showcase.

Langley will play its first fourgames away from home beforehosting Nanaimo on Oct. 4 atthe Langley Events Centre.

Langley’s junior Bs won one andlost one to kick off the PacificJunior Hockey League season.by Troy [email protected]

The Langley Knights rode an emo-tional roller-coaster Thursday andFriday.

Sept. 11 marked the debut of jun-ior B hockey at the George PrestonRecreation Centre,and the Knights madeit a successful one bydowning the MissionCity Outlaws 7-4.

Levi De Waal andColin Catchpole eachscored twice andadded a single assistfor the Knights, whogot single mark-ers from TristanCraighead, MitchellBiermann, and Hayden Smer.

Langley goaltender NickolasTrenciansky stopped 41 of 45 shotsto earn the victory.

The Knights led 3-2 after the firstperiod. The second frame was score-less and during the final stanza, thehosts had a 4-2 edge in goals.

“I thought they played extremelywell,” Knights head coach John

Craighead said, regarding hisKnights. “They were excited, butafter first period, they got the jittersout, settled in, and played well.”

Ridge Meadows Flames 7,Knights 2

The very next night, the Knightstravelled across the Golden EarsBridge to Maple Ridge’s Planet Icearena, where they fell by five to thehost Ridge Meadows Flames.

Discipline and special teams werethe difference, as emotions that werestill running high from the night

before spilled over toFriday.

The Flames cashedin on five of theirnine opportunitieswith the man advan-tage, and notchedthree power playgoals in the thirdperiod.

“It’s hard to getright back up whenyou’re playing back-

to-back, after the emotion of ourhome opener,” Craighead said. “Iwasn’t disappointed with the effortof the guys at all. We ran into pen-alty trouble and they [the Flames]capitalized on the power play.”

Craighead added, “When you arein the penalty box, it’s pretty toughto win hockey games. It came downto team discipline.”

The Flames led 3-2 after 40 min-utes, then scored the only four goalsof the final frame to win going away.

Ridge Meadows’ Michael Bell andDanny Wilson sandwiched goalsaround a pair of markers from theirteammate Andrew Strelezki during apenalty-filled third period.

Three of the Flames’ four third-period goals came on the powerplay.

The score was tied 2-2 after thefirst period, before Boston Colleyscored on the power play to put theFlames ahead for good. His goal wasthe only one of the middle stanza.

De Waal opened the game’s scor-ing on a Knights’ power play, 1:20after the opening pick drop.

Dylan McCann tallied Langley’sother goal.

It was a chippy affair. Langley’sCraighead battled with RidgeMeadows’ Colley in the second per-iod, and the Flames’ Shawn Tiltonhad a tilt with the Knights’ JaydenGill in the third period.

The Knights’ next home game isThursday, Sept. 18 when they hostthe Abbotsford Pilots at the GPRC.Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Coach Craighead said it will take abit of time for his team to complete-ly gel. “A lot of guys don’t knoweach other [quite yet], and none ofthe teams will be settled in untilDecember,” he said.
