Thanks Bruce,I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex.I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses wassomething I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’tneed an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less thanI paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great thedeal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glassesanywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for goodcustomer value.

A dark, rainy night saw acyclist and a pedestrian hit bycars in Langley City.

MATTHEW [email protected]

Two people were hospitalized after beinghit by cars in Langley City on Wednesdaynight, and one incident was a hit and run.

The first incident took place at 7:47 p.m.at 53rd Avenue and 203rd Street.

The driver was southbound on 203rd,stopped at a red light, said Cpl. HollyMarks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP.

When the light changed, the driver madea left turn onto 53rd, and struck a pedes-trian in the crosswalk.

The victim suffered hip and back injuries,and was taken to the hospital. There wasno information on the victim’s condition.

The driver stayed at the scene.At 8:36 p.m., not far from the scene of

the first collision, a cyclist was knocked offhis bike.

A 45-year-old man was riding north in thecurb lane of 200th Street, towing a smalltrailer.

A white car struck the trailer, sendingbike and rider flying.

City firefighters responded to both inci-dents, and Chief Rory Thompson said the

victim in the second incident complained ofback pain.

He was immobilized and taken to hospitalfor treatment.

The car, just described to police as white,fled the scene. Police searched for it but

could not locate the vehicle.It was raining heavily, but was well lit at

the scene, Marks said.The cyclist was wearing a head lamp but

no helmet, and did not seem to be wearingany reflective clothing.

A Langley man is one of tworecently charged with fraud.


Two company executives with a Surreyroad construction firm, including a Langleyman, have been charged with fraud.

Matthew Gregory Brooks, president ofAggressive Roadbuilders, and Langley’sKirk Dennis Roberts, the controller-book-keeper of the company, have both beencharged with fraud over $5,000.

The RCMP Federal Serious and OrganizedCrime (FSOC) section began an investiga-tion in 2009 into Aggressive, after receiv-ing information from a financial institutionabout exaggerated and over-inflated finan-

cial documents.Insp. Brian Gateley of FSOC said investi-

gations like this rely on analysis of financialrecords, and are intensely time-consuming.

The RCMP did not release informationon who might have been victimized by thealleged frauds.

Aggressive did work for LangleyTownship, but not since 2007, according toHilary Tsikayi, the Township’s director offinance. Aggressive did road work primarilyin 2005 and 2006.

There are no current contracts withAggressive, Tsikayi said.

One of their major projects was a $1.9million stormwater control upgrade fundedby both Langley City and Township.

The project was approved in the sum-mer of 2007 to avoid further flooding fromLogan Creek and Jeffries Brook around204th Street, 206th Street, and the Langley

Bypass.The project was overseen by Langley

City. Independent engineering consultantsoversaw the work, said City administratorFrancis Cheung.

“We’re confident that we got value forour money,” Cheung said.

Aggressive is listed in Surrey civic docu-ments as having done road constructionwork for that city in the early 2000s.

In 2006, Surrey paid Aggressive $3.1 mil-lion for a variety of road and sidewalk con-struction projects. Aggressive offered thelowest price of four bidders.

When asked if the victims of the allegedscam included any local municipalities,Staff Sgt. Laurie White, spokespersonfor the FSOC, said police could not com-ment on the victim or victims’ identities,or even say whether they were clients ofAggressive.

Pipeline foesgathered in aprotest near FortLangley.


Dozens of people gath-ered Thursday to protestKinder Morgan’s plans toexpand its Trans Mountainpipeline through Langley.

More than 40 peoplegathered under grey skieson the side ofGlover Roadnear RawlisonCrescent at 1p.m.

Organizedby local artistand activ-ist BrandonGabriel, theevent wasmotivated bythe fact that pipeline com-pany Kinder Morgan hasbeen doing some explora-tory geotechnical drillingnearby.

Kinder Morgan is plan-ning to triple the size ofits existing pipeline, whichruns from Alberta throughBritish Columbia. Theline runs through NorthLangley on its way to aBurnaby refinery.

The proposal is beforethe National Energy Board,and protests have eruptedat several sites, most nota-bly Burnaby Mountain.

Terri Schack said shewas at the protest inLangley because shewanted to look after theenvironment for her chil-dren, grandchildren, andgreat-grandchildren.

Sustainable sources ofenergy is where peopleshould be looking to thefuture, said Schack.

“We don’t need to havethe oil pipelines,” she said.

She is also concerned forthe rivers andwetlands thepipeline willcross, if thereis a spill in thefuture. She’sfrom a longline of fishingfamilies, shesaid, and oneof her protestsigns called to

protect salmon.Andhra Azevedo of the

Pipe Up Network, whichopposes the pipelineexpansion, was there tosupport the rapidly organ-ized event.

She is worried that theNEB’s consultations on thepipeline are too limitedand exclude some subjectsfrom consideration, as wellas many people.

“There’s too muchpotential for risk and dam-age to our environment,”said Jodi Marsh, anotherprotester.

“Money isn’t every-thing,” she added.

Not everyone at theevent was completelyopposed to pipelines.

“I have mixed feelings,”said Bob Puls, a longtimemember of the LangleyField Naturalists.

If oil has to be transport-ed, he prefers pipelinesto rail tankers or trucks.Demand for Alberta oil hasseen shipments of oil pass-ing through Langley bytrain in recent years.

However, Puls said heis worried that more oil

headed for the Burnabyrefinery will mean moretankers heading out ontothe oceans carrying fuelproducts. He’s also not afan of Kinder Morgan andthe way the company hasconducted itself during theprocess.

The event will not be thelast protest against KinderMorgan in Langley, saidGabriel.

The organizer said thatone of the main goals ofbringing people togetherThursday was to let vari-ous locals and environ-mental groups network.

“We look at this as thebeginning of many more

events,” he said.He hopes that a larger

march and rally might beheld in Fort Langley in thefuture.

The goal is to be pro-active, and to let KinderMorgan know that itsopponents won’t sit idlyby, he said.

A Kinder Morgan spokes-person said the recentdrilling was for boreholes,to check on subsurfacegeology.

The company has saidthat the drilling areas willbe remediated with theprivate property ownersnow that the work hasbeen completed.

Move fastto avoidabyss

Here comes the slippery slope.The federal governmentmust act quickly to ensureno one slides off the edgeand into the abyss created

as a side-effect of last week’s SupremeCourt ruling on assisted suicide.

The Supreme Court of Canada ruledthat the Charter of Rights and Freedomsprotects an individual’s right to die withdignity, and consequently struck downCanada’s laws against physician-assistedsuicide. The ruling means someone witha terminal illness, and especially someonefacing a painful and terrifying death canseek a doctor’s help to achieve a relativelycomfortable and dignified end of life.

But the Supreme Court only has juris-diction to interpret or set aside laws. Itdoes not have the power to amend orrewrite laws or to replace them.

The federal government has that power,and it must act quickly to fill the legal vac-uum created by the court’s decision.

Left unfilled, that vacuum has thepotential to suck in people who needprotection from the abuses that thosewho have vigilantly fought against legal-ized assisted suicide have rightly feared.Without any laws detailing what situationsshould allow rational recourse to assistedsuicide, people who could be saved by analternative intervention could instead slidedown that proverbial “slippery slope.”

Unscrupulous, malicious, ignorant, orsimply exhausted family members andcaregivers have been known to convincethe elderly and the infirm – includingthose with apparently sound mental cap-acity – that suicide is the best or only solu-tion to a desperate situation, even when itclearly is not.

The Supreme Court has justly decidedthat we each own our “self,” and thatunder certain circumstances, and after dueconsideration of the options, we have theright to dispose of our property in a rea-sonable and rational manner.

The federal government slipped up bynot having had the compassion that thecourt has shown. It should have definedthose “certain circumstances” long ago.

– B.G.

There are protests all over theplace these days. You can’t somuch as say the word “environ-ment” without someone looking

at you askance, waiting anxiously tohear what you’ll say next: are you aboutto reveal yourself as a pro-environmentthreat to the national economy, or willthe next syllable out of your mouthunmask you as a radical species-killingredneck Harper-lover?

But whether you’re planning tovote for the environment or for theConservatives, it’s a fair bet that you’relike practically everybody else in onerespect: nobody likes to see a speciesbecome extinct.

You may not believe that it’s happen-ing, or you may not believe that you,as a human being, can possibly have asignificant impact on the planet’s overallbiosphere.

You may or may not believe that youhave any personal responsibility – youmay not even believe that it is an inher-ently bad thing – but I’ll bet that whenyou see a picture of one of those babyseals about to be clubbed between theirsparklingly sweet eyes and skinnedalive, it doesn’t make you feel good.

You may refuse to believe that it’syour fault, but I’ll bet when you seehundreds of thousands of acres ofBrazilian forests burning, spewing tonsof smoke into the air and destroying the

homes and habitats of thou-sands of species – many ofthem not even identified yetby the most important spe-cies of all – it doesn’t makeyou feel good.

It may not reduce you totears or fill you with angstfor our dwindling future– but admit it, it doesn’tmake you feel all warm andfuzzy inside.

Whether you quake at thethought or you simply feelit’s a necessary evil in aworld that deserves to be dominated byhumanity and its technology, you wouldbe among the absolutely most unusualamong us if the thought of destroyingspecies willy nilly was one of the mainthings that helped you to sleep soundlyat night.

But what are you doing about it?I know, if you’re part of the “necessary

evil” crowd, you’re doing nothing aboutit. Why would you? Fair enough.

But what about those of you whoknow that it’s wrong and that we haveto do something before our entire plan-et’s biodiversity is reduced to that of agiant wheat field – one crop consistingof one variety of one species? Surely youwant to do something that you couldtake to your Last Judgment, to legitim-ately plead, “But, Your Honour, I tried.”

In reality, very few of uscould truly do that.

Very few of us will leavethis world firm in theknowledge that we trulydid all we could to saveat least one species fromextinction during our briefjourney through our ownmiserable, pitiful life.

Except the anti-vaxxers!You’ve got to tip your

hat to those folks – they’redoing their bit, where mostof the rest of us have been

falling desperately short.They have been at the forefront of

the battle to save a number of import-ant species, but most recently, they’vebeen bearing the standard on behalf ofmeasles.

By refusing to vaccinate their childrenfor a variety of spurious and downrightnonsensical reasons, they have been ableto rebuild over the past couple of yearsthe measles population that had beenvirtually eradicated from North Americaa decade ago.

Okay, I’ll admit, measles isn’t exactlyon the brink of planetary extinction– there’s enough measles in other partsof the world to kill a few hundred thou-sand children each year.

But that’s human children. And we’renot even close to extinct… yet.

Jonathan Dyck – Our infrastructure still favours automobiles and does little to providesafety for cyclists. Until that changes, it’s going to be tough to get people out of their cars.

fact sheets that show thescience and data collectedfor the Smithsonian WildlifeStudy referenced in twoletters to the editor [Feral

cats removed altogether,Jan. 15, and Feral cat pro-gram just a trap, Jan. 27Letters, Langley Advance]was flawed.

Wildlife, especially birds,are far more impacted byhumans’ use of pesticides,increased air traffic, loss ofhabitat and climate change.The data, the extrapolation,the size of the study, andthe fact the article wasn’tsubmitted for peer reviewbefore publication haveraised many concerns of thevalidity of the report.

TNR [trap, neuter, andrelease] utilized in conjunc-tion with a no-kill sheltersuch as Langley AnimalProtection Society [LAPS]and their supporting pro-grams is the only proven,humane, and cost-effectivesolution to reduce the num-ber of free-roaming cats.

I have gathered manyarticles and websites Iencourage interested partiesto review, they are basedon science and facts, notopinions [Find links onlineat www.langleyadvance.com,click on ‘Opinion/Letters’].

I’m not sure how torespond to the “JunglePuppies” comment. I’massuming it is an attemptat humour, but it is in facta slap in the face to volun-teers who have worked longhours to better the lives ofcompanion animals.

LMH celebrating 50 yearsDear Editor,

To those of us who were around in 1965, the singularmost important event to take place in Langley up until thattime seems like it happened only yesterday.

We were still listening to the top hits from the previousyear, when the Beatles were lamenting their Hard Day’sNight and Louis Armstrong was saying hello to Dolly.

Here in Langley, the focus was on Hospital Hill. TheLangley Memorial Hospital Planning Committee was final-izing plans for the official opening of a new hospital.

And now, 50 years later, another committee is planningtwo events to mark the anniversary of that building, nowknown as the South Tower.

On Saturday, Feb. 21, the LMH South Tower AnniversaryCommittee will host an afternoon tea in the hospital for allstaff, past and present. The committee is endeavouring tocontact everyone who, at some time, has been employed atLMH from the opening of the cottage in 1948 to the present.

Family members of Dr. C. Key, Miss Marion Ward, Mr. H.Devine and Mr. S. Chapman are expected to attend.

On June 12 a barbecue will be held on the hospitalgrounds for the general public. Plans for that event are justgetting underway.

Well, hello – David Beattie and Allan Hunt came beforeLangley City council Feb. 2 about the Hello Project.“It’s an invitation for a chat,” Beattie explained.Under the auspices of the New Way Community Society,they want to raise funds for the project which would includedistributing up to half a million lapel pins. People would sportthe lapel pins to show to extend the hand of friendship.“I think that is fantastic,” said City Councillor Val van denBroek.The campaign arose from a study of Metro Van residents whofelt disconnected from other people.Coun. Rudy Storteboom said he liked anything that promotedpositive social interaction and council would have to discussany budget implications. “It is a quality of life issue,” he said.The men have addressed a handful of municipal councils inthe area in recent months, and are looking to built a coalition,including government, business, non-profits and individuals.Beattie suggested a possible pilot project for the City.Heather Colpitts/Langley Advance

Langley residents helpfeed children in SouthSudan.

Thanks to a $100,000 dona-tion to Food For FamineSociety (FFF) from BillyVandekerkhove of Super SaveGroup, a pair of shipping con-tainers filled with Ready-to-UseTherapeutic Food (RUTF) havebeen sent to malnourished chil-dren in Africa.

The first container arrivedin the Democratic Republic ofCongo on Dec. 23.

The second container pulledinto the Port of Mombasa inKenya on Jan. 23, heading to itsfinal destination in Juba, SouthSudan.

World Vision Canada (WVC)assists FFF with the distribu-

tion of RUTF through theirCommunity-Based Managementof Acute Malnutrition programs.

The South Sudan shipmentarrived in the war-torn regionwithin days of a peace treatybeing signed by the governmentand rebels.

The recent violence hasexacerbated the hunger issuethat was already above theWorld Health Organization’semergency threshold of 15 percent, prior to the violent out-breaks.

The demand for RUTF in theJuba region of South Sudan hasincreased with 1.7 per cent ofthe 1,254 kids screened found tobe suffering from Severe AcuteMalnutrition (SAM).

World Vision Canada and itspartners are working closely toreduce the mortality rate amongchildren and mothers due to

malnutrition.WVC is also focusing its

efforts on teaching the import-ance of breastfeeding, promotingongoing health education, nutri-tion and the use of appropriatebreast milk substitutes.

Juba is desperate for cleanwater systems, medical supplies,therapeutic food and milk, blan-kets, mattresses, essential medi-cines, and health care workers.

Food For Famine Society withtheir partners, Mana Nutritionand World Vision Canada, areworking to support the need forRUTF as quickly as possible.

Maria Martini of Food ForFamine Society is thrilled that anadditional shipping container isclose to being filled, thanks tothe generosity of local donors.

Food For Famine Society wel-comes donations at www.food-forfamine.org.

JUST THE FACTS• Since 2012, BillyVandekerkhove of SuperSave Group has donated fourcontainers to malnourishedchildren in Africa.• One shipping containerholds 900 boxes of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food(RUTF), helping 900 malnour-ished children under the ageof five.• 100 per cent of donationsreceived by Food for FamineSociety go towards the pur-chase of RUTF.

Donors feed hungry in Africa

African children and Food For Famine representatives thanked Super SaveGroup and FFF for their donation of shipping containers filled with Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food.

A multi-use trail hasbeen extended intoSouth Aldergrove.


A long-awaited trail linkingSouth Langley’s major parksis closer to completion, thankslargely to the efforts of a localequestrian group.

The BackCountry Horsemenof B.C.’sAldergrove chap-ter has finishedits project withLangley Townshipto build a stretchof trail from 256thStreet to 264th Street.

More than 800 volunteerhours of work were put in tocomplete the trail, said PeterThiessen, vice chair of theAldergrove chapter.

“At this point there’s just onemile of trail that needs to becompleted,” said Thiessen.

The trail runs east fromCampbell Valley Regional Park,heading mostly along or nearthe 8th Avenue area.

It was started in 1995, withthe intention of creating a paththat would connect CampbellValley with AldergroveRegional Park.

The trail was finished out to256th but then stopped, witha boggy and difficult stretchahead.

In 2013, a partnershipbetween the Back CountryHorsemen and the Townshipallowed work to re-start.

The Township build board-walks over waterways, andvolunteers helped clear paths,put down rock and gravel,and build a steep switchback-ing stretch of trail up to 264thStreet.

Thiessenestimated thevolunteers pro-vided about$40,000 worthof work, plusaround $12,000in aid from grantsthrough the

B.C. Horse Council and othergroups.

The new stretch of trail willbe officially opened on March14 with a ceremony at 10 a.m.

Councillor Charlie Fox saidthe trail is like a linear park.

“This is just an absolutelyawesome gem,” he said of thetrail.

The trail is multi-use, withhorse riders sharing with cyc-lists, walkers, and runners.

Thiessen hopes the Townshipwill move forward on the finalsegment, across 264th Streetnear the Aldergrove bordercrossing to the nearby park.

Walnut Grove businessesare not fans of the proposedtransit tax being taken to ref-erendum next month.

In preliminary results of anonline survey by the WalnutGrove Business Association,68 per cent of North Langleybusinesses are not in favourof adding 0.5 per cent to thePST transportation upgrades.

The idea for a survey wasspawned by a request fromthe Aldergrove BusinessAssociation (ABA) to speak tothe referendum, said WGBAchair Karen Reynolds.

The executive was uncom-fortable taking a unifiedstance without polling otherWalnut Grove shop owners.

The WGBA will share itspoll findings with the ABAand Greater Langley Chamberof Commerce, Reynolds said.

“We’re not against theupgrades. We’re just againstthe tax, when we’re gettingvery few upgrades,” Reynoldselaborated. “I think we’realready being taxed extra withthe tolls.”

In the meantime, TownshipMayor Jack Froese will speakat the WGBA monthly meet-ing at 8 p.m. on Thursday,Feb. 12, at The RedwoodsGolf Course. Reynolds hopesto share her group’s findingswith him at that time.

That meeting is open to allLangley business people. Costfor non-members is $10, notincluding breakfast. RSVP [email protected].

AbbyAbby is a gorgeous shelter mutt who is about 2 years old. Abby waspicked up as stray and had a microchip that traced back to Texas.Luckily, one of the health techs from Douglas College got us to do aheartworm test. When we got the results we found out that Abby washeartworm positive. Heartworm treatment requires the dog to be on strictbed rest and can take up to 4-5 months to clear. Abby is now finishingup on her treatment and will be getting ready to find her forever home.At first, Abby comes across quite nervous but once she warms up, yousee a different side. This sweet and cheeky girl will brighten up your dayand give you all the cuddles you will ever need. Abby will be lookingfor a home with dog experience and someone who is willing to workon building her confidence with strangers. Abby could live with anotherfeline or K9 friend but we are looking for a home without children. Formore information on Abby please ask to speak with her trainer. Winter

Winter arrived at LAPS on a coldday in early January. He wasvery underweight and dehydratedand needed regular subcutaneousfluids for the first several days hewas here. Staff made sure he wasgetting lots of good food and love,and after a month Winter wasready to be neutered and startlooking for a forever home. He isa chatty guy and will sometimesannounce his presence with afunny, raspy meow. This beautifulboy is on the shy side and wouldprefer a quiet home with no smallchildren.

BakerBaker is the whole package! Thisguy has good looks and personalitygalore. A former stray who survivedon the streets, Baker is loving hiscushy new life. Regular meal, acomfy bed and lots of love - whatmore could a cat ask for? He’s a bigsofty and starts purring as soon ashe sees a person. There’s no suchthing as too much cuddle time for thisguy! Baker thinks he’s enough catfor any home and would prefer tobe the only feline child in his family,although he could live with a dog.

ShermanSherman is a handsome,dashing young man withlots of love to give. This big,black floofball has a hilarious,chirpy little meow and uses it tocharm everyone he meets. He’svery outgoing and is alwayshappy to treat any visitorsto a little loving. Shermanenjoys looking out windows,exploring our cat cottage andhaving a good play sessionwith some of his dangly toys.

Fame and FortuneMeet Fame and Fortune! Thesebeautiful girls are sisters and loveto spend their time cuddling andplaying together. They’re a little onthe shy side but once they’re settledin they really love their people. Theyenjoy ear scratches, treats and toysand are happy to settle down forsome snuggles after a good playsession. At about 6 months old,they’re still full of kitten energy andwould love a home with lots of timeto spend with them. Since they’renot the most confident cats, theywould prefer a home with no smallchildren. Fame and Fortune couldgo to a home together or separately.

BauerBauer is a one year old male neuteredGerman Shepherd Dog. This boy grewup in a loving home and it shows. Atpresent Bauer has a strong reactionto cats and given his size would be achallenging fit for a home with a cat.He does enjoy the company of otherdogs and has a physical play style.He also has the good sense to observewhen a confident dog says no thanks.A water dog who travels well in thevehicle, Bauer is looking for someoneto share regular exercise andadventures. Because of Bauer’s 110lbs size and youthfulness a physicallystrong owner would be best suited.

The Township’s mayorhas pledged to reach outto the public more.


A Langley Township committeewill look at enhancing communica-tions with the residents, Mayor JackFroese announced recently.

The newly formed Mayor’sStanding Committee on PublicEngagement was one of Froese’spromises in the run-up to theNovember civic elections.

“Recent events, such as theproposal of the new Brookswood-Fernridge Community Plan, madeit clear that some Township ofLangley residents felt they were notbeing included or adequately con-sulted during the planning process,”Froese said on Jan. 26. “As a result,some citizens became concerned

about any and all developmentproposed for their community, andexpressed apprehension about theirability to be heard dur-ing the decision-makingprocess.”

The committee willinclude Froese, CouncillorMichelle Sparrow, andnewly elected Coun.Blair Whitmarsh, alongwith Dale Ball of theBrookswood MerchantsVillage Association,Susanna Haas Lyon,a public engagementspecialist, and BarbaraSharp, a former NorthVancouver mayor probably bestknown locally for her organizationof Christmas at Williams Park.

The committee’s purpose is tofind innovative ways to ensureresidents feel more included in theplanning process.

It will meet eight to 10 timesstarting in February to review cur-rent procedures, and will report to

the council before the end of June.Lack of community consultation

was one of the major complaintsduring a number of con-troversies over the pasttwo years, with the battleover a new Brookswood-Fernridge OfficialCommunity Plan one ofthe most notable.

After several years indevelopment, the processbegan attracting a largeamount of public atten-tion in early 2014, mostof it negative. Residentspacked public meetings,and council ultimately

voted to scrap the plan and startfrom scratch.

Anger in Brookswood was stillboiling months later during thecivic election, and while Froesestill topped the polls over his near-est challenger, former mayor RickGreen, Green took more votes inBrookswood than at any other poll-ing place in the Township.

Thanks to thegenerosity of C&DLogistics, KimzAngels now hastwo trucks touse for deliveringitems to Langley’sneedy.TROY [email protected]

A retired Langley strong-man is lifting the spirits ofthe community’s needy,through a selfless dona-tion.

Dana Matheson was act-ive in the gruelling sportof strongman before aback injury forced him tostop competing about nineyears ago.

During his days as astrongman, Matheson oncecarried 340-pounds on his6’4” frame, which he usedto lift large round stones(known as atlas stones,which can weigh up to385 pounds), pull trucks,flip 800-lb. tires, drag 700-lb. chains, and press largelogs overhead, as well asmany other events.

Today, a much leanerMatheson (thanks to adedicated running regi-ment) is a successfulbusinessmen. He’s thepresident of C&D Logistics,a full service third partylogistics company thatships anything and every-thing on all modes oftransportation around theworld.

He’s also quite the phil-anthropist, recently donat-ing a 2015 Ford F-150 tothe charity group Kimz

Angels, which will useit to deliver food, furni-ture, baby essentials, andother items to disadvan-taged people living in theLangleys.

Matheson and KimzAngels founder Kim Snowgot to know each otherthrough mutual friends,and started conversingthrough social media.

“I am big on giving backand when I see peoplegoing above and beyondthe call of duty to helpthose in need, I can’t helpbut want to get involved,”Matheson said. “Kim is avery selfless person andshe deserves it.”

This isn’t the first timea business has donated atruck to Kimz Angels forthis purpose.

Two years ago, Snowwas the grateful recipi-ent of a 2012 FordF150, financed by BBContracting. Steve Stewfrom BB Contracting isa friend of Snow’s andis also on the board ofdirectors for the ChildDevelopment Foundationof British Columbia.

While this new truck hasalready been delivered toKimz Angels, the plan wasto officially unveil it to thepublic on Saturday, dur-ing the first annual FraserValley Family Day celebra-tion at the Langley EventsCentre’s Fieldhouse.

At the same time, non-perishable food donationsfor Langley’s needy arebeing accepted.

A ribbon cutting cere-

mony is scheduled fornoon at the Langley EventsCentre, with TownshipMayor Jack Froese inattendance.

“The Wrap Guys gener-ously donated a customwrap and it was given toKimz Angels about twoweeks ago,” Mathesonsaid. “We will haveit at the Fraser ValleyFamily day at the LEC onSaturday to fill the truck

The seeminglyageless PaulMcCallum hopes toextend his CFL careerto a 23rd season.BY TROY [email protected]

His right foot is the toolthat Paul McCallumuses to ply his trade,one that has made

him a household name in theCanadian Football League.

The local realtor withMacDonald Realty and Langleyresident – who celebratedhis 45th birthday on Jan. 7– kicked field goals on a con-sistent basis for the BC Lionsthis past season.

And he’s not ready to hangup his cleats, just yet.

McCallum’s career is a decor-ated one, to say the least.

In a CFL career that hasspanned 22 years, and hope-fully counting, McCallum haswon two Grey Cups, is a five-time CFL all-star, and has beennamed the Grey Cup’s MostValuable Canadian and theCFL’s Most Outstanding SpecialTeams Player.

In 2011, McCallum set therecord, with 30, for the mostall-time consecutive field goalsmade in the CFL. That also hap-pened to be the year the Lionswon their last Grey Cup, beat-ing the Winnipeg Blue Bombers34-23 before 54,313 fans at BCPlace Stadium.

McCallum also holds the rec-ord for the longest field goalmade at 62 yards and highestfield goal kicking accuracy in asingle season.

As a young CFLer,McCallum neverimagined he’d still be

playing in his mid 40s.He is the oldest player in the

league, mirroring the career ofone of his predecessors, LuiPassaglia, who spent a record-

breaking 25 years (1976–2000)as a Lion and scored morepoints in that time than anyprofessional football player inthe sport’s history.

“I remember Lui kicking fieldgoals at an even younger agethan I am today and thinking,‘When is he going to retire?’”McCallum said, in a recentphone interview with theLangley Advance. “But it comesby real quick and I’m still hav-ing fun, and before you knowit, here I am.”

This past season turned outto be a frustrating one for bothMcCallum and the Lions.

BC was just average, finishing9-9 and ended up crossing overto the CFL East in the playoffs.The Lions were trounced 50-17 by the Montreal Alouettesin the Eastern semifinal, andnot long after that shellacking,the Leos fired head coach MikeBenevides.

Individually, McCallum wasgood on 38 of his 42 field goalsattempts.

He led all CFL kickers witha 90.5 field goal percentage,and made all 33 of his convertattempts.

Also during the season, hebecame the second player inpro football history to surpass3,000 career points, the otherbeing Passaglia.

So from a personal perspec-tive, it was a fine campaign,but McCallum wasn’t satisfied,at all.

“It was a very tough seasonfor a lot of reasons, from a teamstandpoint,” McCallum said. “Iplayed all right. I could havedone better. I missed field goalsthat I don’t think I should havemissed. It’s frustrating, lookingback on the mistakes I made.But health-wise, and ability-wise, I feel I’d still like to playanother year.”

These days he’s focusingon being a realtor, whichin actuality is a year-

round occupation, even duringthe summer and fall when theCFL is in full-swing.

When it comes to longevityin professional team sports, youcouldn’t pick a better role thankicker.

“It goes without saying,”McCallum said.

“There’s no comparison withthe amount of abuse that otherplayers take on their bodiescompared to mine. Absolutely,a field goal kicker has a longercareer.”

Another key to his longevity,especially in recent years, iskeeping his cool.

This past season fans neversaw McCallum pump his fist orget overly emotional when hekicked a field goal.

“It’s more along the lines of,doing it more relaxed, and morecalm,” McCallum said. “It’s selfconfidence, you could say.”

To continue to a 23rd season,McCallum focuses on staying inshape. He begins to seriouslywork out in February to getready for a CFL season that getsunderway in the summer.

A new year brings newgoals.

And for Titanium,Fort Langley’s senior Cwomen’s dragonboat team,they have set new goalsthis year – and set themhigh.

They are looking towin at the nationals inWelland Ont., this Juneto earn a spot at the 2016Crew Club DragonboatChampionships inAdelaide, Australia.

And there, they alsowant to win.

FLCC Titanium is awomen’s 60 years andolder, dragonboat teamestablished two years agowith the dream of compet-ing at the internationallevel.

With that goal in mind,they worked hard andearned a chance to goto the World Crew ClubChampionship in Italy lastSeptember.

“It was an amazingexperience with 27 coun-tries represented. Titaniumraced their best times inall three of their eventsand missed out on a thirdplace medal by 0.67 sec-onds in one of them. Wewere so close, a breathaway,” crew memberDianne Shrimpton said.“We were both elated tobe so close and devastatedwe didn’t succeed.”

And so Titanium has setnew goals and is traininghard to prepare for nation-als this June.

Rain, cold and occa-sional snow doesn’t stopthem from paddling on theFraser River and in FalseCreek.

Coach Ben Lee has beenfocusing on refining tech-nique and building powerin the boat.

“The hard work, deter-mination and commitmentof these ladies is makingcompeting at nationalspossible,” Lee said. “Theyhave shown that age isjust a number and thatthey and the little clubfrom Fort Langley could

compete with the best inCanada and the world aswell.”

On Jan. 17, as a funpart of their training,Titanium entered two 12-person teams for the LotusIcebreaker Outrigger Racesat Barnet Marine Park.

And after a grueling,hard fought six kilometrerace in Burrard Inletthrough wind and waves,they came first and secondin their division.
