Tips from public fuel police investigation

A fire scorched a hayfield east of FortLangley and sent upa lot of smoke onSaturday.by Matthew [email protected]

Every fire hall inLangley Township was

called out on Saturdaymorning as a fire sweptthrough a farmers field offRawlison Crescent, justeast of the village of FortLangley.

The fire broke out some-time around 11 a.m., pos-sibly sparked by a tractorin a hay field, said assist-ant Township fire chiefBruce Ferguson.

Crews from six fire hallsbrought tanker trucks to

haul water to the ruralsite. They had the fireextinguished by about12:20 p.m.

The field was about 40to 60 acres, and the fireburned about 75 to 80per cent of it, estimatedFerguson.

The field was covered inhay that had not yet beenbaled, Ferguson said.

No one was injuredand no buildings were

destroyed.The giant white cloud of

smoke that hung over theeastern floodplain nearFort Langley drew a lotof attention from passingmotorists and cyclists.

People gathered on thenorth side of RawlisonCrescent and took picturesof the scene.

A few climbed on top ofstacks of hay to get a bet-ter look.

One onlooker said shecounted as many as 10firetrucks on site.

Just last month,Township firefighters hadcautioned that despitea relatively damp June,brush fires and grass fireswere a concern as theweather turned dry.

There has already beena small brush fire north ofWalnut Grove before thisincident.

A Walnut Grove art projecthas been destroyed, but itwill be rebuilt to be morevandal-resistant.

by Matthew [email protected]

Vandals may have destroyed astudent mural in Walnut Grove,but it will return again.

The mural, created by 44Grade 11 and 12 art students atWalnut Grove Secondary, wasunveiled June 27 on a bridgethat crosses a ravine behind theschool.

A partnership between theschool, the Yorkson WatershedStewardship Committee, andLangley Township, the projectwas intended to beautify thebridge that links walking trailsnear 208th Street to ones aroundthe secondary school.

By July 2, however, it hadbeen torn off, with the panelstossed into the ravine.

Barb and Joe Eso, who livenearby, came by on July 8 tocheck out the mural, but aneighbour told them they hadmissed seeing it already.

They were glad to hear it willbe replaced.

“We’re so disappointed thatsomebody could be so meanspirited,” Barb said.

Joe Binahan of Artistic Designsaid his firm is putting up thereplacement free of charge, tohelp out the non-profit project.

Binahan said they’ll be lookingat ways to keep the new muralon more securely than the oldone.

The adhesive wasn’t “biting”to the metal bridge railing aswell as it could have, Binahansaid. He’s looking at using an

enamel paint under the mural tocreate a good surface. Reducingthe height of the mural slightlymay also make it harder to pryoff around the edges.

Ironically, the mural wasdesigned to be somewhat resist-ant to vandalism from the start.It was created of smooth materi-al that could be cleaned if spraypaint or felt tipped pens wereused on its surface.

Art teacher Scott Gordon gota call about the incident onWednesday, about a day after

the mural had been destroyed.The school’s principal

recovered most of the pieces, hesaid.

Gordon has an idea of the sortof punishment he’d like to dealout to the vandals.

“I think it would be great tofind out who the kids are andmake them take an art class,”he said.

It would make them real-ize how much effort wentinto something they casuallydestroyed.

Gordon was happy to see thatBinahan has already said he’llreplace the mural.

“It’s great that we’re able tocome back as a community andget it back up,” he said.

Unfortunately, the mural islocated in an isolated area, andthere’s no way to keep an eyeon it 24/7.

“Hopefully, it’ll stand up betternext time,” he said.

He is still planning to go aheadwith his project to create anothermural for the opposite side ofthe bridge’s railing next yearwith his art students.

The art project was partiallyinspired by Susan Kovach, a sci-ence teacher and founding mem-ber of the Yorkson WatershedStewardship Committee. Kovachpassed away nine years ago.

Langley Mounties arrest-ed several people for driv-ing under the influence ofdrugs and alcohol whilelaunching the summer ver-sion of the CounterAttackprogram late last weekend.

On Friday, June 31officers from the LangleyRCMP detachment setthemselves up in the

That was in addition tolocating 18 vehicles withmechanical defects in thisone campaign.

By far the most commonissues the officers saw waseither a lack of seatbelts,or the use of cellphones,said Cpl. Holly Marks,spokesperson for the localRCMP.

Fort Langley wasthe site for a federalannouncement.

by Heather [email protected]

Canadian CultureMinister James Moore wasat the Langley CentenntialMuseum and Fort LangleyNational Historic SiteFriday to announce thegovernment’s $12.7 millionjobs program for museumsthrough the Young CanadaWorks initiative.

But he couldn’t escapereporters’ questions aboutthe continuing senatorspending scandal and bythe end of the day, wasappointed the interimaboriginal affairs ministerthanks to a new scandal.Conservative MP JohnDuncan, the AborginalAffairs Minister, resignedafter improperly advo-cating to a tax court onbehalf of a constituent.

The $12.7 millionannouncement isn’t newmoney but Ottawa hascommitted to a two-yearfunding, instead of thenormal one year commit-ment.

The money will beused to fund 2,500 sum-mer and short-term jobsat museums and historicsites. The money, justover $19,000, will fundthree positions at LangleyCentennial Museum.

The federal government

created Canada HistoryWeek, which was July 1-7.

Moore spoke at a formalannouncement July 5 inthe gallery of the museum,stressing the importance ofpreserving and interpret-ing Canadian heritage andhistory. He said it’s all themore important becausestudents are not neces-sarily learning history inschool.

“[In] only four of 13[provinces and territor-ies] is it mandatory forstudents to take a historyclass to graduate,” henoted. “We need to makesure students understandhistory.

Afterwards, Mooretoured the Fort LangleyNational Historic Site.

With the prime ministerhaving committed to anew round of negotiationsover treaty issues andland-claims settlements,the leadership of the

Department of AboriginalAffairs and NorthernDevelopment is likely totake on a much higherprofile in the Harper gov-ernment.

Langley MP MarkWarawa was quick to laudMoore in his newest role.

“I believe he will do agreat job,” said Warawa.“It (aboriginal affairs) isa very important respon-sibility, but every job he’sbeen given, he’s shownhe’s more than capable. Ifyou’re looking for some-one to fill a gap, JamesMoore is one of the firstwho comes to mind.”

Moore was first electedin 2000 at the age of 24.Following the 2008 elec-tion, Moore, who speaksFrench and English, wasappointed heritage andofficial languages minister.

In 2011, he was reelect-ed for the fifth time.

Keeping a cat ordog safer in summerrequires just a littlebasic knowledge.by Matthew [email protected]

Summer brings newhazards for humans – butman’s best friend alsooften needs some extracare and attention in thehot months.

“Heatstroke is the num-

ber one thing, and it’snot just in cars,” saidJayne Nelson, the animalwelfare manager at theLangley Animal ProtectionSociety’s shelter.

Dogs can obviouslyoverheat in closed cars,but they can also becomedistressed when taken fora walk, or when runningalong with a jogging orcycling human.

Pet owners need toensure they are not over-doing it with their dog.

The pads on dogs’ feetmay seem tough to people,

but they’re forced to runon the sidewalks androads on scorching days.

“The pavement is reallyhot,” said Nelson.

She’s seen both wornpads – from too muchrunning on asphalt – andburned ones at LAPS.

When taking dogs out-side, check the heat of thepavement, and stick to theshade as much as possible,Nelson said.

Making certain there’swater both inside andoutside for pets is also amust.

Short-nosed breeds inparticular have a hardtime keeping cool in thesummer.

Other dogs are just ballcrazy, and won’t stopchasing a ball or stickeven when they should begoing somewhere cool torest.

Keep an eye out forsigns of heat stroke indogs, including heavypanting, lethargy, drool,vomit, and as a last stage,collapse.

Even inside the house,ensure cats and dogs have

a cool place, put ice cubesin their water, and maybeleave a fan on for them,Nelson said.

There are a number ofother issues that pets canface if they’re going to beoutside in the summer.

ToxinsSome common plants

and flowers bloomingthrough the warm monthscan be poisonous ortoxic to dogs and cats.Chrysanthemums, daisies,and dahlias are all on thelist. Then there are man-made hazards.

“Pool chemicals aretoxic, fertilizers, slug bait,”listed Nelson.

Insects“They can have pretty

severe reactions to bee

stings and spider bites,”Nelson said.

If there is swelling, theanimal should be taken tothe vet, and may need oralor injected antihistamines,just like a human with anallergy.

Fleas and ticks can alsobe an issue, especiallywhen taking a dog into thewilderness for a campingtrip. Also in the wilder-ness, dogs can catch para-sites from drinking stillwater.

WildlifeWhen camping, dogs

can get into scrapes whileencountering unfamiliaranimals. Dogs can chaseoff after deer and get lost.Animals should be kept onleashes and under control,she said.

Furry friends

Animals need extra care during summer heatPeople tend tobe more casualduring summerbut that canmean extradangers foranimals, whetherit’s from beingleft in vehicles,taken out duringhot spells orgetting into thingsthey shouldn’t.

An Aldergrove mandied in an inner tubingaccident.by Matthew [email protected]

An Aldergrove mandied in a tubing accidenton a river on a river nearCourtenay on July 3.

The BC Coroners Servicehas identified the victimas William (Bill) FrankHavill, a 42-year-old fromLangley.

Havillwas tubingwith friendson thePuntledgeRiver onWednesdayafternoon.He came out of his tube,and his friends found hima few minutes later.

His friends did CPRwhile waiting for emer-gency responders, butHavill was declared deadat the scene of the acci-dent. The RCMP andCoroners Service are stillinvestigating the death.

This is the fourth drown-

ing death in B.C. in thelast five days, accordingto the Coroners Service,including a three-year oldwho died in a swimmingpool, and a teenager whoslipped while at the top ofa waterfal.

The Coroners Serviceis calling for people to becautious anywhere aroundwater this summer.

“A review of drowningdeaths over the past fiveyears shows that manyvictims are unfamiliar withthe waters involved and

thereforedon’t seethe riskor under-estimateit,” said astatementfrom theCoroners

Service. “Those risks caninclude such things asunexpected currents, steepand sudden drop offs,or unusually high waterlevels because of heavyrains or late spring runoff.In a fast-flowing river, sixinches of water can sweepa person downstream andtwo feet can carry awaymost vehicles.”

Siblings from Ontariobegan a cancer-fightingtrip on Friday.by Matthew [email protected]

A pair of teens fromWindsor, Ont. started theirtrip home from LangleyFriday, a 4,500 km bikeride to raise money forcancer patients.

Michele D’Agnillo, 17,and his 15-year-old brotherChristian will be doingthe ride across much ofCanada as a fundraiserfor the Windson & EssexCounty Cancer CentreFoundation.

Dubbed Pedaling for

a Purpose, the trip is afollow-up to a 1,000 kmOttawa to Windsor ridethat Michele already com-pleted last year.

The high school studentisn’t riding in honour ofany specific family mem-ber or friend who sufferedfrom cancer.

He just wants to giveback to his community, hesaid.

Windsor-Essex hashigher rates of some kindsof cancers than the restof Ontario, although rateshave been dropping inrecent years.

The pair has alreadyraised $56,000, and wordof a new $5,000 donationhad come in just as theyset off on Friday.

One of the uses for themoney will be a PatientAssistance Fund, whichhelps families whohave become financiallystrapped due to a membersuffering from cancer.

The brothers are hopingto ride an average ofabout 150 kilometres eachday, completing their ridein about five and a halfweeks.

“Probably less of thosein the Rocky Mountains,”Michele said of the 150 kmdays.

Michele has been anavid road cyclist for thepast two years, afterswitching from riding hismountain bike.

“I guess I just wanted togo faster,” he said.

In preparation for theride, he’s been training allwinter, including riding atthe gym and swimming.

His younger brotherwasn’t originally plan-ning to come, but when afriend and fellow cyclistwasn’t able to take part,Christian stepped up.

He’s not really a cyc-list, he says, but since heagreed to come he’s beengetting out on his bike asmuch as possible.

So that all the moneyraised will go to charity,the ride has several spon-sors, the most significantof which is the LabourersInternational Union ofNorth America, and localman Danny Halmo, who issponsoring them throughhis new company.

Dogs are amazing creatures that have anuncanny ability to provide insights into humanbehaviour – and human limitations.

Their deep and profound devotion to a“master” often mirrors our own penchant forreligiosity.

For the most part, dogs are ultimately ration-al beings.

When they’re thirsty, they find water anddrink it – wherever it happens to be – and thethirstier they get, the less pickythey get about the quality of thewater they’ll drink.

When they’re hungry, theyfind food and eat it – wherever ithappens to be – and the hungrierthey get, the harder they work atfinding food, and the less pickythey get about what they willeat.

They’re not much different from people, inthat respect. Like us, they’re evolutionarilydesigned that way.

They also poop and pee when they feelthe need, and like some people, they’ll do itwherever they happen to be when the feelingcomes upon them – although, most dogs will“save a little” to ensure they have the where-withal to mark territory. We humans – mostof us, at least – have developed more subtleways to assert ownership of space.

Physically, dogs and people have a lot incommon with each other and with most othermammals – two eyes, two ears, a nose anda mouth, four limbs, and the usual naughtybits…

But there are significant differences thatsome people – even those who have gotten upclose and personal with our canine colleagues– just can’t seem to comprehend.

Those differences can mean a lot, especially

when it the weather turns hot, as it has in thepast little while.

One of the big differences is that somepeople are stupid… and their dogs can’t tellthe difference.

In some ways, dogs are like fanatically reli-gious human beings… only, to them, we arethe gods.

A dog whose religious devotion has beeneffectively nurtured – or twisted – will blindlyfollow its “god” anywhere and into any condi-tions.

And dogs have a knack for appearing happywhenever they are in the presence of their god– no matter how foolish their god is.

That’s why you might see a dog sitting ona hot slab of pavement on a 30-degree day,sporting a huge grin, looking adoringly up at

his god, with tongue lolling inapparent ecstasy.

The dog doesn’t know that hisgod is stupid.

Because his god doesn’t knowthat the dog is dying out there– literally.

One basic difference betweenus human mammals and the

canine variety is that we sweat better thanthey do. In fact, dogs sweat only from theirfeet.

And when that tongue is hanging out as faras the dog can get it, the motivation is notjoy; it’s the only other way the dog has to dis-sipate the excruciating heat that is building upin its body from the sun beating its rays downrelentlessly, and the pavement radiating heatup, equally relentlessly.

And while a bit of water from the hand ofgod now and again might help ease a little ofthe dog’s discomfort, it’s not enough.

Your dog is dying, idiot.If you don’t believe me, next time you are

possessed of the desire to submit your dog toconcrete and pavement on the hottest daysof the year, put on a heavy fur coat and walkyourself downtown for an hour or two.

A good and loving god knows that, some-times, your devoted follower is best left behindin the cool comfort of home.

CounterAttacksaves lives

The summer CounterAttack got under-way this weekend.

RCMP have already thwarted a numberof potentially deadly drivers as this season’soffensive launched against offensive driversgot underway in time for Canada Day.

That’s significant, not only for the luckypeople who weren’t killed by drunk andother dangerous drivers, but in a historicalcontext – ICBC reports that traffic crashesclaim an average of three lives in B.C. everyCanada Day, kicking off what has becomethe worst season of the year for drinkingand driving fatalities and injuries.

CounterAttack is aimed especially at driv-ers who persist in drinking before taking aplace behind the wheel of a vehicle.

And it’s been working. In the first 30months of B.C.’s ImmediateRoadside Prohibition (IRP)program, fatalities due toalcohol-related crashes havedropped to an average of 56per year, from the previousfive-year average of 114.

But police aren’t picky, they’ll do theirbest to clear the roads of any drivers whoput their own and others’ lives in jeopardywith their offensive driving habits.

Along with alcohol, distractions andimpatience result in death and injury allover the province’s roads.

Plan ahead for your summer trips.Don’t leave matters to the last minute. Forinstance, if there’s a ferry in your schedule,be aware of the ferry schedule – give your-self plenty of time to get there, so you don’tfeel pressured into excessive speed or riskybehaviour on the roads.

Leave your cellphone in your pocket.Although hands-free devices are legal, stud-ies show that they increase the risk of beinginvolved in an accident to the same levelas hand-held devices – so pull over to takethe call (or let it wait… how important isyour life, or the lives of those sharing yourvehicle or the road?).

And save the booze for after you getwhere you’re going.

Dear Editor,Thanks to Langley City

Councillor Dave Hall forstanding up for democracy.

In the face of the 4-1head-shaking decision ofcouncil to forego the needfor a by-election after MayorPeter Fassbender was elect-ed MLA, leaving Langleymayor-less for 16 months,Hall was the only one whoshowed intestinal fortitudeor leadership.

Being the only councillorto get it can be daunting.

But it beats the opposite.Congratulations may be

in order for Mayor PeterFassbender and his squeak-through victory over JagrupBrar, but such congratula-tions to the council forabrogating their responsibil-ities… ah… not so much.

Councillors RosemaryWallace, Ted Schaffer, GayleMartin, and Jack Arnoldhave failed Politics 101 andshould be ashamed.

Instead they seem to revelin it; but what is there reallyto revel in?

Reveling in preventing themain reason our soldiersfight and die for this coun-try, the right to vote andhave a democratic structure?I don’t think so.

Reveling in their ignor-ance, not understandingCoun. Hall’s remarks aboutthe council acting more likea Politburo (Soviet Union’sunelected policy-makingbody, under communistleaders from Lenin to Stalinto Khruschev up throughPutin)? Unlikely.

Instead of demonstratinga shred of understanding,the councillors virtuallycelebrated their indifferenceof democracy, with suchnon-sensical comments likeCoun. Wallace’s claim that

“this council has been welldirected by staff.”

Oh, and what does thathave to do with the price oftomatoes? Nothing.

The decision has every-thing to do with a mis-understanding of the rolethat mayor and council, aspre-eminent representativesof the minions that electthem, a misunderstandingreinforced by such head-in-the-sand comments asuttered by Coun. Arnold: “Ithink we have been aroundlong enough to handlethings.”

And so said Stalin,around from 1927-1953, orKhruschev, from 1957-1964.

Sure, you must be think-ing, these characters don’tcompare with our council-lors here in Langley.

And yet, they both wouldagree that elections areoverrated. Why go and havean election, especially at theprincely sum of $45,000?

’Tis a fine way (not) torun a government.

Shame is the only wordthat they should revel in.

Hopefully the citizensshall remember this slap inthe face the next time theyhave a chance to do whatthe councillors said was notthat important – vote – inthe next election.Steven Faraher-Amidon, Surrey

Tue sday, Ju l y 9 , 2013 A9Letters to the EditorLangleyAdvance

Dear Editor,Aldergrove is always getting the shaft.To compare Aldergrove with Langley City

is foolish. Langley City may not have anindoor pool, but it does have easier accessto W.C. Blair Pool in Murrayvilleand the Langley Events Centre,which cost the taxpayers of theTownship (residents of Aldergroveincluded) over $65 million.

Langley City is quite capable ofbuilding its own pool if it wantsto.

I’m thinking that the PERCgroup has not taken into con-sideration the potential usage of anAldergrove facility by those peopleeast of Station Road – Abbotsford.

This could bring a lot of money to thislittle community and the Township, and themunicipal council doesn’t seem to care.

Why would they? They are making moneywith all the events and tenants at the

L.E.C., including MLA Rich Coleman.The LEC houses many sports teams, but

was also expanded. Doesn’t that make youa little suspicious of the rationale of shaftingAldergrove?

Excuse me… “Saying yes to alarger pool is saying no to some-thing else, either in this facilityor elsewhere in the Township.”

This will be an issue at thenext municipal election, believeyou me, and if I were a memberof municipal council – who bythe way, got salary increasesthe day they took their seats,and ignored the outcry from tax-payers – I’d be looking to find

ways to treat Aldergrove with a little morerespect. We help pay their salaries.

Editor

Dear Editor,I would like to thank all those who came out in June to

the Langley Golf Centre to the First Annual “Ring a BellWin a Car” golf FUNdraiser in support of the Langley Lodgeseniors assisted care centre. We had great weather and afantastic venue to raise funds for our elderly.

While no one won a car (there were some close calls) lotsof super prizes were given away in the early bird draw andthe skills competitions. The putting and chipping were lotsof fun, but the long drive marshmallow seemed to be thebiggest hit.

Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves, and manyhave volunteered for next year.

Many participants said they will be back next year afterthey study the science of driving a marshmallow. Whatis the optimum temperature of a marshmallow for a longdrive?

We are receiving many innovative suggestions for nextyear. We hope to create fun for the whole family.

Our sponsors are amazing! It is so special and heartwarming to know we have such generous and caring mer-chants in our community. They are truly special.

Most of all, I want to thank our “Ring a Bell, Win a Car”organizing committee and volunteers; without them thiswould have remained a thought.

Together we have introduced a unique concept ofgolf fundraising while raising close to $4,000 in our firstattempt. Thank you all, and see you next year,

Doug Jensen, Langley Lodge

An evening of samplingbeverages and foodgenerated an estimated$13,000 for BigBrothers Big Sisters ofLangley.by Roxanne [email protected]

Copious amounts ofbeer, coolers, pizza,wings, sausages, andcheesecake were con-sumed at the Coast Hoteland Convention CentreFriday – all in the name ofLangley children.

Three of Langley’sRotary Clubs once againcame together to host theannual Tip ’n’ Taste event,and a larger than averagecrowd was in attendance,said event chair DavidTruman.

“I think this is the mostpeople we’ve had in thepast five years,” Trumanadded, looking out overthe sea of people millingabout in the top-floor ban-quet rooms.

He estimated therewere about 500 people inattendance for the three-and-a-half-hour event.

That should translate to

a profit of about $13,000,all of which is going to theBig Brothers Big Sisters ofLangley, he said.

“They [Big Brothers]came to us and toldus they were in need,”Truman explained, not-ing that all three clubs

readily agreed to help andset about dedicating thisyear’s Tip ’n’ Taste eventto the children’s charity.

Bigs executive direc-tor Mary Reeves was inattendance Friday, andwas elated with the newsthat so much money

would likely be coming toher organization.

Operating with no gov-ernment funding, sheexplained how much thegroup has been strugglingfor money in the past fewyears and how reliant theagency is on local support

to fund its fiveprograms.

“We’re reallydependent onthe community,”

she said, per-sonally thankingeach ofthe 20bever-age

vendors and sixfood vendors (fourpulled out in theday before theevent) that donat-ed their productsand time for thefundraiser.

“Thanks forallowing us to bepart of it. It’s sonice to be able to partici-pate in something likethis and to have such a

great community response.Reeves said, noting that

such partnershipsare also impera-tive in increasingthe agency’s pub-lic profile.

“I love whatthe Rotary Clubsdo for the com-munity, and thisevent tonight isanother exampleof the clubs andour communitysupporting ourkids – supporting

the next generation – ourfuture leaders,” Reevesconcluded.

But during a recentwine and cheesereception for spon-sors and supporters,

there was little room tomove (except maybe in thedog kennels) when upwardsof 100 invited animal lovers– and even a few canines– gathered at the shelter toreceive thanks.

While the Furry TailEndings fall gala has growninto the largest singleannual fundraiser for theLangley Animal ProtectionSociety (LAPS), the recentreception comes a close sec-ond, said shelter managerSean Baker.

Athlete profile

An accomplishedskier will try begoing for gold in thepool at the LangleyGames.

Surrey athlete KristinaEttema is comingto compete in the

2013 Special Olympics BCSummer Games fresh off ajoyful international medal-winning performance on theski slopes in the Republicof Korea at the 2013 SpecialOlympics World WinterGames.

Ettema is one of the manySpecial Olympics athleteswho participates in mul-tiple SOBC sport programs,including both summer andwinter sports.

In addition to aquatics,the sport she will race inat the provincial Games inLangley, Ettema is an alpineskier who represented hercountry at the 2013 SpecialOlympics World WinterGames.

Ettema was one of 13B.C. athletes who quali-fied for Special OlympicsTeam Canada 2013, andshe worked very hard inthe year leading up to the

World Games to be at herbest on the PyeongChangslopes.

And she delivered there,earning one gold and twosilver medals, and showinginspiring sportsmanship asshe supported her team-mates and embraced theexperience of being in theRepublic of Korea.

When the team returnedhome to Canada andstepped out into the warmembrace of family andfriends at the airport,Ettema couldn’t contain herjoy.

“I can’t believeit, I’m a worldchampion!” sheexclaimed.

She and herthree World Gamesmedals weregreeted by family membersand fellow SOBC – Surreyathletes.

Now Ettema’s focus ison the pool, as shegears up to swim

at the Provincial Games inLangley, having qualifiedbased on her showing inlast year’s regional qualifier.

Ettema is an enthusiastic,engaging, and supportiveperson, but she also hasa keen competitive sense

when it comes to her sportperformances.

After Ettema achievedher goal of qualifying tocompete in alpine skiing inthe 2012 Special OlympicsCanada Winter Games, shebegan visualizing and talk-ing about how she wantedto win a medal on her 30thbirthday, which would comeduring the Games.

Over the interveningmonths, she trained hard torealize that aim, too. Ettemawas committed to her train-ing plan and dedicated to

focused effort in herpractices, going to thegym, and maintaininga healthy diet.

Equipped with hertraining efforts andher positive attitudewhen she came to

race in the national Gamesin Jasper, Ettema realizedher goal, capturing a silvermedal racing in the giantslalom event on her 30thbirthday. She also reachedthe podium in her slalomand super G events, bring-ing home a total of one sil-ver and two bronze medals.

Ettema was thrilled withher performance – but notjust because of the medals.Ettema was delighted to tell

everyone that through hertraining, she had improvedher skills and speed enoughto move up a division atthe national Games. Sheraced at the novice level

during the 2011 SpecialOlympics BC Winter SportChampionships, and steppedup to intermediate racinga year later in the SpecialOlympics Canada Games.

Ettema’s hard work andgreat skiing on theMarmot Basin slopes

were what earned her aplace on Special OlympicsTeam Canada 2013.

She was also nominatedfor the 2012 SOBC AthleticAchievement Award in lightof her amazing achieve-ments last season. Hernominators described herdedication and work ethicas well as her kind and sup-portive nature – a true teamplayer.

“Kristina is very sup-portive of other athletes,giving encouragement andpositive words and mean-ingful times,” her nomin-ators wrote, describing howEttema cheered on a newathlete she met in swim-ming who was looking tojoin the alpine skiing pro-gram. “She genuinely wantsothers to do well.”

Ettema has been an SOBCathlete for a decade. Sheparticipates in swimmingand floor hockey in additionto alpine skiing, and hastried a range of sports overher 10 years with SpecialOlympics, such as athletics,curling and figure skating.

History

The first Special Olympics sportscompetition was held in Chicagoin 1968.

In the early 1960s, testing of childrenwith intellectual disabilities revealed thatthey were only half as physically fit as

their peers who did not have intellectualdisabilities.

It was assumed that their low fitness lev-els were a direct result of their intellectualdisabilities.

Dr. Frank Hayden, a Toronto researcher,questioned this assumption. His researchshowed that if provided the opportunity,those with intellectual disabilities couldacquire the physical skills necessary to par-ticipate in sport and to become physicallyfit.

Dr. Hayden began searching for waysto develop a national sports program forpeople with intellectual disabilities. Hiswork came to the attention of the KennedyFoundation in Washington, D.C., and led tothe formation of Special Olympics.

In the 1950s and early 1960s, EuniceKennedy Shriver saw how unjustlyand unfairly people with intellectualdisabilities were treated. She also sawthat many children with intellectualdisabilities didn’t even have a place toplay. She decided to take action.

Soon, her vision began to takeshape, as she held a summer day camp foryoung people with intellectual disabilitiesin her own backyard. The goal was to learnwhat these children could do in sports and

other activities – and not dwell on whatthey could not do.

Throughout the 1960s, Eunice con-tinued her pioneering work, both asthe driving force behind President

John F. Kennedy’s White House panel onpeople with intellectual disabilities and

as the director of the Joseph P.Kennedy Jr. Foundation.

Her vision and drive for justiceeventually grew into the SpecialOlympics movement, which shefounded in 1968. Special Olympicsnow includes four million athletes in

170 countries.The first Special Olympics sports competi-

tion was held in Chicago in 1968. It includ-ed 1,000 people with intellectual disabilities

from 26 U.S. states and Canada competingin track and field, and swimming.

To ensure Canada’s representation at thecompetition, Dr. Hayden called on Harry“Red” Foster, the renowned broadcaster,businessman and humanitarian, for support.Foster accompanied a Special Olympicsfloor hockey team from Toronto to the com-petition, and came away inspired by whathe had seen.

On June 9, 1969, the very first SpecialOlympics national competition washeld, in Toronto, Ont., less than one

year after the sport movement was born onChicago’s Soldier Field. It attracted 1,400individuals with intellectual disabilities fromtowns and cities across Canada.

Competing in athletics, aquatics, and floor

hockey, they joined Foster, who workedtirelessly to bring the sport movement tothis country.

Today, Special Olympics in Canada nowenriches the lives of more than 34,000 chil-dren, youth and adults participating in 18winter and summer sport programs as wellas youth programs.

Special Olympics also touches the lives oftheir family, friends, and supporters, watch-ing and supporting their athletes as theydevelop self-confidence, skills, and lastingfriendships in their year-round sport pro-grams run by their local Special Olympicsclubs.

Special Olympics BC started out in 1980with two weekends of games andabout 500 participants. Thirty-three

years later, SOBC is providing year-round,high-quality sports programs and competi-tions for more than 4,100 athletes in 55communities around the province, with thevital assistance of more than 3,200 trained,dedicated volunteers.

The program is run by SOBC Locals in upto 18 sports. It gives athletes the chance togain sport skills and improve their healthwhile enjoying training that could take themto competitions at local, regional, national,and international levels.

And the benefits from Special OlympicsBC programs go well beyond the basics:athletes experience joy and acceptance, cul-tivate friendships and self-confidence, andfeel empowered to overcome obstacles andachieve their goals.

Congratulations

to all the

Athletes of the

2013 Summer Games!

Volunteerism

Mission staff and coachesplay a vital role in theSpecial Olympics’ success.

Incredible bonds developbetween the coaches andvolunteers who teach, encour-

age, and laugh with the SpecialOlympics athletes in their pro-grams, helping the athletes buildtheir skills and confidence and get-ting so much in return.

“It is such an honour to workwith Special Olympics athletes,”said longtime coach HarveyHunter. “From acceptance to gen-erosity, they teach me as much,if not more, than what I teachthem.”

Hunter’s dedication has earnedhim a spot in the SOBC Hall ofFame.

More than 300 volunteercoaches and mission staff willplay a critical part in the 2013SOBC Summer Games experiencein Langley, helping the athleteson their regional teams be attheir best during the Games andsupporting them to achieve theirgoals.

SOBC Quesnel coach Rick Proskis the winner of the 2012 SOBCGrassroots Coach Award.

He will help helm a soccer teamat the 2013 Provincial Games nextweekend.

Prosk is a true difference maker,

according to those who watch himin action with SOBC Quesnel.

Prosk is the head coach of soc-cer and assistant coach of curl-ing for SOBC Quesnel, and he islauded for his coaching excellence,his strengths as a leader and men-tor, and his abundant support ofathletes both on and beyond thefields of play.

“Rick adapts his coaching tech-niques to strengthen relationshipswith each athlete – he promotesfair play and is a positive rolemodel providing consistent leader-ship qualities upon which athleteshave come to rely,” his nomin-ators wrote.

“He is continuously bringing for-ward ideas to provide maximumopportunities in our local for ath-letes to enhance every aspect oftheir lives daily, weekly, monthly,and year after year.”

In the eight years that Prosk hasbeen with SOBC Quesnel, he hasshown a willingness to go aboveand beyond for the athletes.

Wherever there might be holesthat could impact SOBC Quesnel’sathletes, Prosk never fails to riseto the occasion with his ideas, histime, his leadership, and his amaz-ing support.

The award nomination listedan incredible amount ofcreative and valuable initia-

tives that Prosk has championedfor the good of Quesnel athletes.

This includes several instanceswhere he has stepped up to helpwith extra programs to ensureathletes will have the opportunityto participate, as he has done inrecent years with SOBC Quesnel’scurling and five-pin bowling pro-grams.

Prosk’s local athletes goingto the Games can’t wait tocompete in Langley. This

will be the first provincial Gamesexperience for soccer player MaxNelson.

“I think it’s going to be amaz-ing,” he said. “It’s going to be atrip to remember, and we’ll meetnew people.”

Nelson, who has been a SpecialOlympics athlete for five years,says meeting new people is hisfavourite part of Special Olympics.

He was very excited when hefound out he had qualified for the2013 SOBC Summer Games.

Last year, his team finished topsin the Soccer Regional Qualifierthey attended in Mission, a thrill-ing achievement that Max namesas his favourite Special Olympicsmoment to date.

“We won the regional qualifiersin soccer last year. It was reallyfun,” Max said, adding that it wasimportant to him because “youachieve something in your life.”

When adding to athlete experi-ences beyond the field of playthat instill this kind of confidence,

Prosk is once again a force tobe reckoned with. His initiativesbring about learning in both sportand life skills. He has championedeverything from fundraising initia-tives to implementation of HealthyAthletes programming that brings

about significant benefits for ath-letes. He also serves as athletecoordinator, a position he took theinitiative to create, using it to meetregularly with the athlete rep com-mittee and provide support andassistance to them.

Events

Three sports are getting theirintroductions to the big time atthis provincial event.

The 2013 Langley Special OlympicsSummer Games is going to be anespecially exciting Games for basket-

ball, bocce, and golf players and coaches,because for the first time they will be com-peting for the opportunity to advance to thenational Games level.

The 2014 Special Olympics CanadaGames, set to be hosted in Vancouver, willbe the first Canadian national Games toinclude basketball, bocce, and golf as offi-cial sports.

Basketball

Billy Peterson is a dedicated SpecialOlympics BC North Shore athletewith a passion for basketball and an

appreciation for all that Special Olympicshas brought to his life.

A determined competitor known for allthe support, encouragement, and leadershiphe provides to fellow athletes, Peterson isgearing up to play with his team in the 2013Special Olympics BC Summer Games.

“There’s a competitive aspect to it that’sreally nice, that’s what people go for, butSpecial Olympics has also allowed me togrow as a person, to break out of my shelland meet new people,” Peterson said. “Thewhole cooperation aspectis really wonderful tosee, with all the athletesand everyone gettingtogether.”

Watching Petersonwork his magic on thebasketball court, it’s hardto believe that six yearsago doctors suggested hemight spend the rest of hislife in a wheelchair.

Winner of the 2012 SOBC Spirit of Sportaward, this tenacious and determined ath-lete has proven those predictions wrong bydevoting himself to basketball ever sinceSOBC North Shore introduced its basket-ball program in 2006. Peterson works hardon and off the court, staying in shape bypractising frequently and running on thetreadmill.

Describing a few of the many moments in

which Peterson has shown his inspirationaldedication and never-give-up spirit, coachZak Klein recalled his performance at thebasketball regional qualifier hosted last yearby SOBC North Shore.

“Although he is only five feet tall andweighs less than 100 pounds,

he never flinched whenwe asked him to defendagainst a 6’1”, 300-pound opponent,”Klein said. “When Billylost his shoe in themiddle of our game, he

continued to play despitethe discomfort of his

splint. No matter how manytimes he got knocked down, he sprung backup immediately with a vengeance.”

In nominating Peterson for the 2012 SOBCSpirit of Sport Award, his coaches noted thestellar support he offers other athletes, andthe amazing environment he creates aroundhim.

“Billy is the first to encourage, assist,or congratulate his fellow athletes, alwayskeeping the mood upbeat and positive.Even in the most discouraging times, Billypromotes a spirit of camaraderie and teamplay, always finding the silver lining nomatter how grey the cloud,” they wrote.

Cheer on Billy and the basketball teamsgiving their all in the 2013 SOBC Summer

Games on Friday, July 12, 9 a.m. to 5p.m., and Saturday, July 13, 9 a.m. to 3p.m. at the Langley Events Centre.

Bocce

Longtime Special Olympics BC athletePeter Gilpin competed in bocce in the2009 Provincial Games, helping the

sport make its debut at the Special OlympicsBC Games level. Now he’s gearing up togo to the 2013 SOBC Summer Games, onceagain for bocce, and he’s excited that theLangley Games will mark the first timebocce athletes will be able to advance to theNational Games level.

Gilpin says he was “so happy” to hearhe qualified to compete in this weekend’scompetition.

“This one is going to be the real stuffwhere you can qualify to go on. This one’sfor real,” he says. “You do your best there,and if you do really well, you can qualifyfor nationals.”

So much has changed in the world overthe last 30 years, but one thing hasremained the same: Gilpin has been a

committed SOBC athlete.Over the last three decades, Gilpin has

been an enduring and valued presence asan SOBC Vancouver athlete and a volunteerwith the SOBC provincial office. When hefirst started volunteering in the office, eachmonth Gilpin helped stuff, stamp, and sendenvelopes full of information for locals.

“There were no computers in thosedays! It was really hard to send stuff outto people,” Gilpin recalls.“That’s how we did thingsin those days.”

When Gilpin started asan athlete, he participatedin floor hockey, powerlift-ing, weight training, andfive-pin bowling. He didthose sports for manyyears, until he started hav-ing trouble with his legs.

Gilpin has continued toparticipate as an athletethrough the years andthrough any health chal-lenges. He continues tobowl every year, and whenbocce was introduced inSOBC Vancouver severalyears ago, Gilpin jumpedon board right away.

SOBC Summer Gamesbocce action is atWilloughby CommunityPark on Friday, July 12,9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., andSaturday, July 13: 9 a.m. to3:30 p.m.

Golf

In the last four years, golf as a SpecialOlympics BC sport offering has grownexponentially.

In 2009, when the sport was part of theSpecial Olympics BC Summer Games for thefirst time, there were a modest 12 registeredgolfers in three SOBC community programs.

By 2012, just a year away from the sport’ssecond appearance at the SOBC SummerGames and two years from its SpecialOlympics Canada Games debut, there were293 registered golfers with 23 SOBC com-munity programs.

There are many equally enthusiastic vol-unteer coaches helping the golfers developtheir skills and fall in love with the game.

Examples of fast-growing SOBC golf pro-grams include the popular SOBC Langleyprogram at Redwoods Golf Club, which willhost the 2013 Provincial Games golf events,and the SOBC Sunshine Coast program,

which saw athletes almost triple in numbersbetween the first and second years.

Everyone who has been involved withthe SOBC – Sunshine Coast program fullyenjoys it.

“We get more out of it than [the athletes]do,” said assistant coach Chuck Bertrand,who is set to coach with the Region 5 teamin Langley. “We always come home smil-ing” and talking about the accomplishmentsand developments of the athletes.

“We’ve got a love for the sport, we havea knowledge of the sport, and we have indi-viduals involved who have a love for the

sport and a knowledgeof the sport. The bigthing is the athletes areso great.”

Athletes earnedberths to compete atthe Games throughregional qualifier eventsheld last year, and thegolf regional qualifiersincluded a mix of ath-letes new to golf com-petition and veteransaiming to advance to hitthe links in Langley.

For some athletes,this regional quali-fier was their first

experience with anysort of golf competition,and they rose to theoccasion with enthusi-asm. Those players“were focused, but theywere still having fun,”SOBC Vernon golf headcoach Karen Truesdalesaid. “I saw lots ofhigh-fives out on thegreens.”

Meanwhile, the athletes with more experi-ence were keen on the idea of competingfor the opportunity to advance to the 2013SOBC Summer Games, and delivered someexcellent performances.

Since the sport’s first appearance at theprovincial Games level in 2009, experiencedcoaches like Truesdale and Chuck Bertrandand wife/fellow coach Annette have saidit’s been amazing to see how golf has pro-gressed in SOBC.

Annette Bertrand communicated the levelof interest from the athletes in the SunshineCoast program.

“They’re just so keen,” she said.The 2013 SOBC Summer Games golfers

will be in action at Redwoods Friday, July12, 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and Saturday, July13, 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

…continued from page A11Baker noted that the annual summer open

house is an opportunity to thank those whohelp make the Patti Dale Shelter work, andit is a chance for the LAPS team to updatesupporters on the shelter’s successes andnew initiatives.

“This event is about celebrating the goodwork that is done here, day in and day out,by good people,” Baker said.

“We truly have a unique system at LAPSwhere staff and volunteers work as a teamto reach a common goal. And both give so

much and ask for so little in return.”He noted that LAPS is approaching its

10th anniversary on Oct. 1.“This may be hard to believe, but it is

true. Although the last 10 years have beenamazing, I do have pictures to prove thatI had no grey hair when we opened ourdoors for the first time. Back then, I wasjust a naive young man looking for a littleadventure and hoping to find some meaningwhile trying to avoid getting a real job,” hesaid with a chuckle.

…continued from page A21“I never thought this ride would

last so long. With only a two-yearcontract with the Township and abuilding not suited for the ThirdWorld, let alone an official govern-ment office in one of the most pros-perous countries in the world, ourlittle team came together each andevery day to fight the good fight,”Baker said. “And fight we did.”

It’s changed a lot in the past dec-ade, and he offered recent numbersto show how significant a contribu-tion LAPS has made to the commun-ity in that time.

As of the end of May of this year,their records show that 7,950 dogsand 2,747 cats came through thedoors. While most find their wayback to their original home, somemust be adopted out into newhomes, and of those 1,408 dogs and2,395 cats have found their own“furry tail endings,” Baker said.

In that same window of time, ani-mal control officers have respondedto 15,297 complaints and 37,684 doglicences have been sold.

“Most amazing of all, our volun-teers have logged more than 47,000volunteer hours doing all that needsto be done. I sure think that’s prettydarn amazing,” Baker said.

In addition to giving thanks, Bakersaid the open house has also becomethe perfect time to kickoff ticketsales for the fall gala, as well assimultaneously starting ticket salesfor their annual Dream VacationLottery.

The response is always “tremen-

dous,” Baker said, noting that abouta quarter of 400 seats for the galaare already sold, and about 10 percent of the 2,500 tickets for the vaca-tion (which will be drawn at thegala) are gone.

The sixth annual fundrais-ing gala is being dubbed SnowWhite’s Enchanted Forest and willbe a medieval affair on Nov. 2 atCascades Casino.

“This is our one chance each yearto raise the money that we need to

keep doing what we do,” Baker said.“The $60,000 raised each year

goes directly to making more FurryTail Endings come true for hundredsof dogs and cats that will need usin the coming year. Not only is it awhole lot of fun, but it is crucial toour success,” he said.

Tickets are currently on sale at theshelter for $100 each before Oct. 20.The shelter is located at 26220 56thAve. or can be reached at 604-857-5055.

Mark Matthews, DaneDobbie, and Adam Jones aremaking an immediate impactwith the defending WLAchampions.

by Troy [email protected]

To state the obvious, what adifference some superstars canmake.

The star-studded LangleyThunder appear to begearing up for a runat a third consecu-tive Western LacrosseAssociation title andMann Cup appear-ance, judging from theamount of trade activityit’s been involved inrecently.

The newcomers arepaying immediate divi-dends.

Sunday at Planet Icein Maple Ridge, the Thunderedged the host Burrards 13-12,with recently acquired DaneDobbie sniping the winner with1:37 remaining in the game.

The goal was Dobbie’s secondof the night.

“He’s incredible,” Thunderhead coach Rod Jensen saidregarding Dobbie, picked upin a trade with the CoquitlamAdanacs last week. “He’s anincredible goal-scorer, a clutchgoal-scorer, and that’s whatmakes him so special. He’s sotalented.”

Dobbie’s winner capped a bigcomeback from the Thunder,which trailed 12-10 with four-and-a-half minutes to go in thecontest.

Another of the highly covetednewcomers is Mark Matthews,who made his Thunder debut

after coming over fromthe Brooklin, Ont.Redmen.

Matthews finished hisfirst WLA game withthree goals (including atally that tied the score at12-12) and two assists.

The Thunder trailed 10-8 after two periods butoutscored the Burrards5-2 in the third frame towin.

Also having big gamesoffensively for Langley wasAthan Iannucci and GarrettBillings, each with two goals andfour assists.

Adam Jones with a pair, aswell as Damon Edwards andShayne Jackson, also found the

net for Langley.The loss spoiled a big game for

Maple Ridge star Curtis Dickson,

who scored four goals and addedthree helpers for a seven-pointouting.

Dickson is the runaway scoringleader in the WLA, with a whop-ping 46 goals and 84 points injust 13 games.

Riley Loewen scored a hattrick while Joel Dalgarno addeda pair for the home team.

Jensen said the Burrards, whofell to 7-6 on the season, are adifferent team than the one thatended up at the bottom of theWLA standings in 2012.

“There’s better parity, no ques-tion about it,” Jensen said.

He added, “It [Planet Ice] is atough building to play in, andthat Dickson guy can carry thewhole team.”

Jensen said Burrards headcoach Daren Fridge has his teamplaying very good lacrosse.

“They [the Burrards] are veryathletic, very confident. They’vegot some real balance on bothsides of the floor. ”

Goaltender Nick Rose, whocame over in the Coquitlam dealalong with Dobbie and Edwards,came on in relief of starter BrodieMacDonald and stopped 19 of 21shots to pick up the win.

The Thunder improved to 8-3-2 and is tied with the VictoriaShamrocks (9-4) for first place inthe seven-team WLA.

The local senior As are on athree-game win streak and areunbeaten in four.

Next up for the Thunder is aroad trip to Vancouver Island thisweekend.

The Thunder visit theShamrocks in a first-place show-down Friday, then head over toNanaimo Saturday for a date withthe Timbermen.Thunder 10, New Westminster

…continued from page A24A pair of second-period goals from

Dobbie, along with singles from AlexCrepinsek, Billings, and Iannucci, gavethe Thunder some breathing room.

Langley carried a 7-3 lead into the sec-ond intermission.

In the third period, Dobbie’s hat trickgoal was sandwiched between a pair ofIannucci goals, giving him three on thenight, as well.

The Salmonbellies’ Kevin Crowley thentallied twice to round out the game’sscoring.

Mitch McMichael and Jackson scoredthe first two goals of the game forLangley before New Westminster tallieda pair to tie the score.

Rose made his first appearance in aThunder uniform and stopped 33 of 38shots fired his way.

Rose was the 2012 WLA MVP.Thunder 9, Maple Ridge Burrards 4For the most part, the Burrards hung

in with the high-powered ThunderWednesday at the Langley Events Centre.

But in the waning moments, theThunder took advantage of a Burrardssquad that was forced to take a fewchances to tie the score, and tallied thelast four goals of the night to win 9-4.

The Burrards showed some moxie withback-to-back goals from Ben McIntoshand Aaron Pascas in the third period tocome within a single marker at 5-4.

After that, it was all Thunder.Goals from Jones, Jackson, Alex

Crepinsek (into an empty net) and ScottJohnson sealed a five-goal Thunder vic-tory.

Maple Ridge trailed 1-0 after the firstperiod and 5-2 after 40 minutes of play.

“The first period was 1-0 and the sec-ond period was tight, too,” Burrards’head coach Daren Fridge said. “We got

to 5-4, then started to take some risksthat obviously cost us. The last 10 min-utes were when the wheels fell off insome regard, as far as transition went.”

The game marked the Thunder debutfor Dobbie, the veteran right-handedgoal-scorer and 2011 WLA MVP.

Dobbie had 22 goals going into thegame and was limited to one, the game’sfirst goal, on Wednesday.

Two other newly acquired runners– Jones and Johnson – played their firstgame in a Langley uniform, as well.

Jones ended up with a goal and twoassists.

The game had two fights late in thethird period.

Maple Ridge’s Jonathan Munk andLangley’s Nik Bilic got into a spiritedscrap with 37 seconds to go in the con-test.

Munk had his jersey pulled over hishead as Bilic whaled away on him.

Then, two-seconds after the faceoff torestart the game, Langley captain MattLeveque tangled with the Burrards’Patrick O’Meara.

The two are former teammates withthe Thunder.

FINAL BUZZER: With all of their newadditions, the Thunder look to be astrong contender to win the WLA title forthe third time in as many years.

But Jensen isn’t taking anything forgranted, especially with so many strongsquads in the mix this season.

Only four points separate the top fourteams in the league: the Shamrocks,Thunder, Burrards, and 7-6 BurnabyLakers.

“We jumped into being the favouriteto represent [the west at the 2013 MannCup] if you look on paper, but as youknow you can’t just look on paper,”Jensen said.

A Surrey golfer eked out a victory atthe B.C. junior girls championship atBelmont Golf Course.

Jamie Oleksiew gave a couple strokesback to the field but was able to hangoff a charging Alix Kong for her first B.C.junior girls’ championship, hosted lastweek by Belmont Golf Course.

Oleksiew, 17, from Surrey and a mem-ber of the Colorado University women’sgolf team, had built a sizeable eight-stroke-lead over the course of her first54-holes and needed only a three-over-par74 final round to finish thechampionship at minus-four.

Her 71-69-66-74-280totals were two strokesahead of her nearest com-petitor Alix Kong, 16, ofWest Vancouver.

After going throughthe paces over the first17-holes of Friday’s finalround, Oleksiew relin-quished three strokes withan uncharacteristic triple-bogey 18th hole.

Thanks to her great play over the firstthree days, that triple bogey was a mereblip on the radar of an outstandinglyplayed championship.

Asked about her win, Oleksiew wasproud overall but critical of her finish.

“The last hole, I mean I hit a good teeshot but the wind caught it and it didn’tend up in a very good spot. I had topunch out, flew the green and ended upgetting into trouble,” she said.

“I am pretty happy overall because thisis the first tournament that I have fin-ished under par and the first time I havewon anything with BC Golf. I am prettyproud of myself and I shot a course rec-ord [in Thursday’s third round] which Ihave never done before.”

Kong, bouncing back in her closing 36holes after a lackluster second round, putall the pressure she could on the front-running Oleksiew with a three-under-par68 Friday, getting her total to minus-twooverall (71-74-69-68-282).

Unfortunately for the Capilano Golf andCountry Club member, she would finishtwo strokes back of the eventual cham-pion.

“Alix played a ground round today, shemade plenty of birdies and a lot of parsaves,” mentioned Oleksiew.

Ko, the other player in the lead group,posted a final round one-under-par 70,sealing third place all to herself at plus-

two overall (72-70-74-70-286).

This result will makeher the final member ofTeam BC, along withKong and Oleksiew, head-ing to the Royale CupCanadian junior girlstournament at the CherryDowns Golf and CountryClub in Pickering, Ont.from July 30 to Aug. 2.

“Naomi and Alex arereally good players so I think we havea really good chance of winning at theCanadians,” said a happy Oleksiew.

British Columbia Golf thanked BelmontGolf Course and the West Coast GolfGroup for their support.

The consensus from the players in thechampionship was how well maintainedthe golf course was, an opinion that wasechoed by the champion Oleksiew.

“I have played Belmont a lot over theyears but this is the best condition I haveever seen it in,” she said.

Oleksiew is now heading to the CNFuture Links Western Championship,being held at Wolf Creek Resort inPonoka, Alberta.

Langley golfer Kathy Lim finished over-all at plus-17 to take eighth place overall.

A Langley squadcapped the Canada Daylong weekend with atournament victory.

The heat of the Julylong weekend worked tothe Langley Xtreme 2001Bsoftball team’s advantageas the local girls used theirdepth at pitching, catch-ing, and defence to keeptheir opponents at bay.

The Xtreme had a solidshowing en route to agold medal at the LowerMainland Cup, which pitsthe top teams in every div-ision in the rep B system

in the Lower Mainlandagainst each other inTsawwassen.

The three-game round-robin ended with theXtreme as the top seedwith a 3-3 tie with theRichmond Islanders, a 10-2 win over the CloverdaleFury, and a 10-5 win overthe North Shore Stars.

In round one of theplayoffs, the girls facedthe host team VancouverWildcats, pulling off an 8-1mercy-rule win after four-and-a-half innings.

Round two brought theXtreme back up againstthe Stars, with the Xtremesqueezing out an 8-7 winin five innings.

The championship finalpitted the Xtreme againstSurrey Storm, which hadgone undefeated in theregular season.

The Xtreme coachesapproached the tourna-ment knowing the heatwould play a factor, andused a heavy rotation sothat pitchers and catcherswould be as rested as pos-sible.

The final game wentseven innings, with thethreat of an open seventhlooming over the Xtreme’sheads.

The Storm’s last batsfound the ball, but theXtreme’s defence was rocksolid, shutting its oppon-ent down for a 9-4 win,and a great end to CanadaDay.

The Xtreme’s pitchingstaff includes Piper French,Kayla Michael, AshleyPreston and Sydney Wood.

Catching for the Xtremewere Taryn Jenkins,Brooklyn Baly and KaitlynCowie.

Providing the remainderof defence were JaynaHagen, Jordan Quechuck,Breanna Connolly,Rebecca Courneyea, SierraMiller, and Samantha Cox.

The team is coachedby Robert French, DavidWood, and Bill Cox, withmanager Holly French.

GILBERT, Marion Lois

Jun 30, 2013

GILBERT, Marion Louis

It is with broken hearts that

we announce the passing

of Marion Gilbert. She is

survived by her loving

husband, Charles Joseph

(Joe) Gilbert, her children

Jan Morris (Brian), Joanne

Husband (Kevin), Barb

Bryant (Dave) and Barry

Gilbert. Marion is also

survived by her brother

Roy James. Marion was

the best grandma to their

10 grandchildren and 10

great−grandchildren. She

will also be missed by her

loving extended family and

many friends. She was pre

−deceased by her parents,

Dave and Margaret James,

and sons, Doug and Blair.

Marion and Joe have been

married for 60 wonderful

years making many

memories together, riding

horses, travelling, holiday−

ing with friends, and mostly

working hand in hand all

through their lives. She

loved sewing, crocheting,

baking bread, her lambs

and never had a bad word

to say about anyone. She

was a good worker for the

4−H club and also the

BCRCA. She set a good

example of how to be a

kind person and we are all

much better to have had

her in our lives. We will be

having a Celebration of Life

on Tuesday, July 9th from

1:30pm − 3:30pm at the

Langley Senior Society,

20605 − 51B Avenue,

Langley.

In lieu of flowers, donations

can be made to the

Alzheimer’s Society of BC

(300−828 West 8th Ave,

Vancouver BC) or to the

Variety Club of BC (604−

320−0505) which Marion

and Joe have always

supported and is close to

their hearts.
