Langleymankilled incrashAn experienced pilot hasdied during a firefightingoperation in B.C.‚s FraserCanyon.by Matthew [email protected]

Tim Whiting, a 58-year-old pilot, was killed alongwith his co-pilot when hisConvair 580 water bombercrashed Saturday eveningnear Lytton.

Rick Pederson ofAbbotsford-based Conairconfirmed that Whiting wasa Langley resident. He hadflown with Conair for 28years, Pederson said.

The company was offer-ing its aid to the families ofPederson and his co-pilot,an Edmonton man. The co-pilot’s name has not beenreleased, pending notifica-tion of his family.

Whiting’s Facebook pagesays he worked for Conairin the summer and theUnited Nations in the win-ter. Photos show him flyingplanes in Chile and Timor.

According to hisFacebook page, he a daugh-ter living in the LowerMainland.

Frederick Lepine, a friendof Whiting’s, said he wastoo distraught to speakabout Whiting’s death, butsaid in an email that “Timwas a very experienced andcapable pilot and a long-time friend.”

Initially, search-and-res-cue crews were unable toreach the crash site becauseof the intensity of wild-fires, but Sunday afternoonLytton RCMP and the B.C.Coroner Services were ableto reach the site and con-firm that both crew mem-bers were dead.

Pederson said theTransportation Safety Boardis now investigating thecrash, and the companycan’t comment on possiblecauses. Determining whathappened is in the TSB’shands, Pederson said.

History repeated itself at the Fort Langley NationalHistoric Site over the August long weekend.

From July 31 to Aug. 2, Brigade Days brought old-fashioned fun to the Fort, with re-enactors, historicweapons demonstrations, fur trade weddings, music,and the signature event, the fur brigades’ arrival.

This year’s brigades landed on the shores of FortLangley on B.C. Day, Monday, Aug. 2.

Brigade Days annually celebrates the fur brigaderoute that the voyageurs of the 19th century wouldtake. The route follows rivers from the forts in theInterior to the banks of the Fraser River at FortLangley.

In 1848, Fort Langley became the main depot forthe Hudson’s Bay Company on the West Coast. Everysummer during the 1850s, the fur brigades wouldtravel down the rivers to Fort Langley.

The brigades came down in canoes full of furs andother goods that had been traded with First Nationsat the Interior forts, and would bring other suppliesback from Fort Langley at the end of the summer.

Jake Overstreet, 10, entered the Fort site on Sundaydressed for the occasion.

The visitor from Blaine, Wash., said he wore early19th century garb complete with a beaver pelt hat “tomix in – it just matches what’s here.”

A group of addicts is trying tostart anew after rehab facilityofficials walked away from aSouth Langley facility.by Heather Colpittsand Matthew [email protected]

A group of men say they arestranded at a South Langley alco-hol rehab facility after the oper-ators walked away.

On July 11, residents at theMission Possible AddictionRehabilitation Society home inthe 100 block of 208th Streetwere handed letters saying theyhad 48 hours to get out. Theunsigned letter claims the societyboard decided to close the facil-ity because of problems with theseptic system backing up.

“The recent round of staff[staph] infections make itimperative to close down thisproperty from further inhabita-tion until the same is cleared byFraser Health Authority,” the let-ter said.

Joan Marshall, a Fraser Healthspokesperson, said neither thepublic health branch nor thelicensing branch for rehab facili-ties, has had dealings with thisorganization.

When asked about letter citing“a number” of staph infections instaff and clients, Mission Possibleexecutive director StephenMackay said he recalled one resi-dent spent three days in hospitaland admitted there weren’t mul-tiple infections.

“They might have exagger-ated,” he said.

But he said thehouse was closedbecause of healthconcerns and all theresidents were foundspots in other facili-ties.

“Everybody had abed,” he said.

Despite beingordered out by noonJuly 13, severaladdicts chose to stay,have ironed out anagreement with thelandlord through tothe end of August and say theywill continue to work throughtheir alcohol recovery, includingholding meetings and reachingout to the experts for help.

Mackay said he was surprised

that the landlord would makean agreement with the clients,whom he accused of staging “agood, old-fashioned coup.”

Initially there were a dozenmen, but there are now seven.

The group is making decisionsby consensus, including decidingto stay on the remote property,despite the two society vehiclesbeing taken by staff. The menhave taken on roles in the house

best suited totheir skills to runthe house andcontinue workingtheir program.They met with theLangley Advance,but asked thattheir last namesnot be used, asper guidelines ofthe AlcoholicsAnonymous pro-cesses they areusing.

Vince, who hastaken on the office work, saidno residents or workers haveshown staph infections that heknows of, and the back-ups wereminor, cleaned up, and bleachedat the time. They took place in a

furnace room and a downstairsbathroom, never reaching a car-peted dorm area.

Mackay admits no healthexperts were brought in to assessthe situation, but the board felt ithad to take action for the healthof residents and staff.

“We really didn’t bring inFraser Health first,”he said.

A July 11 let-ter from someonenamed MarianneWalters, giving anAbbotsford address,and claiming towrite on behalf of the MissionPossible board of directors, saidthe board was terminating thelease, effective June 30, becauseof plumbing problems datingback to January.

Since the people who ran thefacility walked away, they havetried to remove the house con-tents, but the RCMP was calledand only the two vans weretaken, leaving the residents withno transportation.

Mackay said, “We’ll probablyhave to go through the courts toget our property back,” and saidthe residents involved hadn’t

paid for their stay at the centre.Vince explained that the men

are looking for help from thecommunity. The group can bereached at 778-278-2110. A for-mer resident provided a fooddonation which has helped tidethem over, but the men needhelp getting food.

The men arealso in contactwith variousgovernmentoffices andLangley MLAMary Polak, andorganizations in

the addictions field to get helpso they don’t fall back into badhabits.

“This is where we’d like tostay,” Vince said.

They’ve renamed the placeGround Zero Recovery House andare wading through the officefiles trying to make sense ofwhat’s happened.

Vince said they found a docu-ment from January 2009 markedcertificate of incorporation as asociety but have been able tofind out little about the societyand who is on the board.

Cycling in B.C. is getting a shotin the arm, and Langley may goafter some of the cash.by Matthew [email protected]

Just weeks after Langley Townshipreleased a map of its Draft CyclingNetwork, the province is offeringcash for building bike lanes.

On Friday, the provincial gov-ernment announced $500,000 forBikeBC Cycling Infrastructure, tosupport cycling projects that willmake people healthier.

Langley Township staff may go

after a portion of the new fundingto help them build bike lanes alongFraser Highway.

This year, pre-loading will startfor the project to widen the highwaybetween the Langley City borderand 216th Street, in front of theLangley Regional Airport, addingmarked bike lanes to connect withlanes on Hospital Hill, said transpor-tation engineer Paul Cordeiro.

While that’s one of the largestbike projects coming up, others arealready underway or being planned.

Cordeiro said the Draft CyclingNetwork plan shows many miles ofpotential cycling lanes and off-roadcycling trails. It would be costly forthe Township to build the network

all at once: “It’s fair to say it’s in themillions of dollars,” Cordeiro said.

But the Township plans to takeyears to build it, once it’s finalized.

In areas of rapid growth, develop-ers will build some of the bike lanesand paths, or will pay developmentcharges to have them built. The restwill be up to Township taxpayers,provincial grants, and TransLink.

The Langley chapter of theVancouver Area Cycling Coalitionand the public will be consulted,Cordeiro said.

Bicycle lanes were recently addedto 204th Street, between 66thand 64th Avenues, and a projectis underway at 96th Avenue andTelegraph Trail.

More questions than answers remainafter residents took over a facilityaimed at treating their addictions.by Heather Colpitts and Matthew [email protected]

The Mission Possible AddictionRehabilitation Society seems to have beenflying under the radar of many govern-ment agencies.

The property was not zonedfor a treatment centre.

“It’s zoned RU-1, which isrural residential,” said RaminSeifi, Langley Township’s dir-ector of community develop-ment.

The Township was notaware of Mission Possible,which opened up in a large,leased home on a treed lot inrural South Langley in early 2009.

A rehab facility could operate withoutzoning if the Township was overruled bythe province – but there seems to be nogovernment licence for the facility, andthe facility does not appear to have beenregistered under the Community Care Act.It was not receiving funding or grantsfrom the Ministry of Housing, according togovernment offices contacted.

Mission Possible executive directorStephen Mackay said the facility wasreceiving $570 per client from the Ministryof Housing for what was considered roomand board. Mackay said that amountcouldn’t cover treatment, but the servicewas still offered.

The centre was trying to get the zoningworked out, because it would mean get-ting up to $1,200 per resident per month

in government funding, he said.Mackay said the government welcomes

such shoestring facilities, because it savesthem having to fund residency costs andclinical treatment.

“When something goes bad, they’regoing to be the first ones in there to nailyour ass,” he said.

Without proper zoning, the facility couldhave operated with a maximum of sixpeople under care and four staff members,far fewer than the Mission Possible facility

had before its closure.Mackay likened such

facilities to a “puppy fac-tory” that has to havemany residents “to makeit go,” but did not givenumbers.

Vince, one of the menin treatment who chose tostay, noted that there havenever been clear answersgiven about the centre.

The landlord, for example, was toldthere were fewer people living there thanthere were, Vince said.

He said there have been up to 20 menin treatment, and wonders where all theirmoney went.

Mackay said the facility was alwaysoperating on a shoestring.

Mission Possible received men’s socialassistance and EI funds, and in the let-ter claims there will be no return ofJuly monies. “The Board has also ruledthat no monies will be returned to anyclients since there has never been anycompensation provided the Society forany part month before clients moved inand because the cost of closing down thefacility prevents doing so,” the July 11unsigned ouster letter said.

Our View

Burn or burynot best ends

Metro Vancouver’s directors votedto perhaps look at burning some of theregion’s vast flow of trash, rather thanburying it in leaky landfills.

The arguments over this could take upnumerous editorials and articles, and nodoubt will over the next few months. Willwaste to energy dump too much soot andpollutants in the Fraser Valley airshed?Are some residents going to take the bruntwhile others get to breathe clean air? Canthe system ever be made truly clean?

However, the current system couldn’tcontinue. Burying garbage and hopingit goes away shows that as a society,we’re no better than a six-year-old hidingBrussel’s sprouts under the table to avoideating them.

As everyone from the Metro Vancouverdirectors to Premier Gordon Campbellhave said, we need to stop creating somuch garbage, period. Recycling, we’regetting pretty good at (although we couldimprove) but reducing is where we needto make great strides.

This is where everyone from the aver-age citizen to the federal and provincialgovernments are going to have to workcollectively.

We need to reduce packaging, bags,boxes, and foam peanuts. We need to stoptossing out millions of cardboard coffeecups, paper napkins and burger boxes.We need old solutions and new ones toslash the amount of junk we throw outafter preparing a meal with supermarketingredients. And what we can’t eliminate,we need to recycle in an expanded bluebox system.

Citizens are going to have to pull uptheir socks and take part, but governmentswill have to show some real backbone.They’ll probably have to put some seriousmoney into this, and they’ll have to facedown the many, many corporations whowon’t want to change.

L A N G L E Y A D V A N C E | Tue sday , Augu s t 3 , 2010 | A6

I received an odd thing in my email, some-thing that took me back a couple of decades,to when it wouldn’t have been an odd thing toreceive at all.

Well, it would have been odd to havereceived it by email a couple of decades ago,of course… but only because there was noemail back in the time to which I’m referring.

The birth announcement sent to me a weekago by email would have got tomy desk via snail mail – or just“the mail,” in the parlance of thetimes – back in the days when wereceived such items regularly.

And we published them as news.When I first started out as a

reporter, every birth in the com-munity was news.

People would send us a briefnote about the birth of their newborn child,and most would end up on my desk, to typeup as a “birth announcement,” about six toeight lines long, detailing the names of theparents, often the grandparents also, and ofcourse, the full name of the newborn, alongwith his or her birth weight and length (Iguess it’s not “height” until you stand up),plus the usual names of any siblings.

I must have typed up a couple hundred ofthose things (on an electric typewriter – I wasprivileged, as there were senior reporters inthe office still banging away on big manualUnderwoods). My copy would go to theeditor’s desk, who would pass it along to thetypesetters, who would type it into a giant boxthat would spit out a photographic strip (theoperation was mostly beyond lead type by thetime I got involved) including the announce-ment, some articles, and wordy bits of adver-tisements, all ready for the proof-readers.

Items without errors would be cut from thegalley proof, and the rest would be returned

to the typesetters, who would retype only thelines with errors, the new lines to be pastedover the old, wrong ones later on, as the entireitem was being pasted onto a page or “flat.”

For instance, if a line in the birth announce-ment had been typeset incorrectly, the uncor-rected announcement would be sliced from thegalley and pasted onto a page, and then thecorrect line – which would have gone throughthe whole process once again – would bepasted over top of the mistake.

Well… sometimes that last step didn’t hap-pen. Or a correction line would inadvertentlybe pasted into the wrong place. Or the waxused as glue didn’t hold well enough, and theline might shift and end up cross-wise on thepage… or fall off altogether.

If there was a picture to goalong with a story, the complex-ity increased five-fold, althoughin the case of a birth announce-ment, that was never done; bythe time a photo was taken,processed, and ready for publi-cation, the kid would practicallybe in kindergarten.

All of that effort went into thecomplex dance that placed every single iteminto the newspaper, even an item as short asa birth announcement – because the birth of achild was not inconsequential. It was big newsin the family involved, and news for the fam-ily was news for the community.

The hospital gave out blank Langley AdvanceBirth Announcement forms so new parentscould just fill in the blanks and drop them offat our office, or mail them in.

Dear Editor,Fort Langley Canoe Club

has changed the addressof its website to fortlang-leycanoeclub.ca, followinga tiny administrative mis-understanding that led tothe old website name notbeing re-registered.

Although a notice hadbeen issued by the domainregistrar, it was confusedwith a regular bill, and thecanoe club suddenly found that its well-known name had been purchased by aso-called “Domain Investor” that acquiresdomain names for profit, not normally forgeneral use.

FLCC is a not-for-profit club run entirelyby volunteers who have worked hard todevelop an attractive website that deliversdetails of the public courses that the clubruns with the Township’s recreation depart-ment, as well as lots of advice and informa-tion about canoeing and kayaking, and stor-ies of their exploits over the recent years.

We are disappointed that this change hasbeen forced upon us. It seems amazing thatanyone would wish to buy the name of ourclub’s website, and can only presume theirplan is to sell it back to us.

Fortunately, we were able to transfer theentire site to a newly purchased name fort-langleycanoeclub.ca, and we hope that ourregular users will soon find us.

Club Commodore Cheryl MacIntosh saiddiscovering the problem just after threedays of hard work at the canoe/kayak sec-tion of the Township of Langley 2010 BCSummer Games was particularly hard.

We will need to spread the new webaddress as fast as we can, so that potentialpaddlers in the community can find us eas-ily.

In particular, Fort Langley Canoe Clubis offering all registered volunteers to theBC Games a free session in a dragon boat.They have all been told the old address,so they now need to know to register [email protected], insteadof at the old address.

Just a little slip like this could happen toanyone, so we would recommend that everydomain name holder takes special care oftheir registrations.

But at least .ca is Canadian, eh?Jonathan Wilkins, Langley

Dear Editor,I am incensed. I don’t

usually write to the editor,but today’s incident mademe so angry.

I was coming out of OtterCo-op, ready to cross thehighway, when I saw anelderly gentleman laying onthe side of the road, tryingto get up.

It was around noon.I asked him if he needed

help, and he seemed disori-ented.

I realized he could notget up without help. Peoplewere driving by without

slowing or seeing if heneeded help or if I neededhelp with him.

Shame on them all. Hewas not drunk or homeless– and so what if he was?Do you just leave him onthe side of the road to berun over? He had tripped onthe end of the sidewalk andcouldn’t get up.

He’s 74 years old, andI couldn’t help him untilanother kind gentlemanstopped, and between us,we got him on his feet.

To all the people who justdrove by and did nothing:

what if it would have beentheir dad or your grand-father and nobody helpedhim?

This fellow has no familyto look after him. He hadtaken the bus from WalnutGrove and was insisting ontaking it back. We madehim comfortable and drovehim over to Otter Co-op GasBar, and called the ambu-lance service.

The gals at the gasbar were excellent; theytreated him with dignityand respect, giving him achair to sit in and wait forthe emergency services,and then putting up – withsmiles on their faces – withat least six emergency per-sonnel in their tiny store.

And the emergency per-sonal were great, too, put-ting him at ease and look-ing after him like a familymember. Kudos to them.

If he could have got upon his own and wanderedinto the traffic at the cornerof 248th Street and FraserHighway, it could haveturned out very different– and so many people werewilling to let that happen.That is what incensed meenough to write a letter tothe editor.

I pray next time it won’tbe a parent of one thepeople who just drove by.

Name withheld, Aldergrove

Why did so few stop to offer help?

HST

Back to school now pricierDear Editor,

I know everyone is tired of hearing about the awfulHarmonized Sales Tax (HST), but I think families should beaware that, when their children return to school, the sup-plies are no longer tax exempt.

I found out by just picking up odds and ends for schoolso that I do not have to put out $300 all at once when mykids go back to school in September. When I questionedthe cashier about the HST on my bill, I was informed thatevery item I now purchase for school will have it.

Every family purchasing the essential items for educationwill now have an extra burden to bear.

I find it difficult to believe that a government that wantsour children to be productive, educated members of societywould tax essential items. These are not luxuries – they arenecessary for the kids to attend school.

Families struggle as it is, to supply their children andsometimes other children who may not have the basics(we won’t be buying extra for anyone this year, as we havefor the last 16 years), because now that $30-$50 will go topaying the HST. It’s just another way for the government tosock it to us again.

But we will all end up taking it from somewhere in ouralready stretched budgets. I think it is pretty sad.

Elaine Galbraith, Langley

…continued from page A3John Folia co-owns the house

with another man, and said he spentmany hours at the house replacingbroken and damaged pipes becausefood solids and other things werebeing put flushed down the pipes,despite him telling staff that shouldnot be done.

As well, solids were being flusheddown toilets, clogging the filter andcausing backup in the pipes. Foliasaid he told them solids can’t beflushed, and showed staff where thefilter was to keep it clean.

He said he spent money on plumb-ing supplies and time down at thehouse to do repairs, which the soci-ety was responsible for because theproblems were based on the actionsof those in the house.

Folia said he’s also out $3,080 rentfor July, the cheque having bounced.

“As owners, we took a prettybig risk,” he said about allowing arehabilitation facility.

But Folia said the owners believein helping people get back on track,so they will work with the residents.

“I don’t want to just put these guysout on the street,” he said.

Folia said they thought the facilitywas helping people.

“We trusted the society to have agood program in place,” he said.

The Advance tried calling Waltersand the others listed on the society’sboard of directors at the time ofincorporation. Only Mackay talked to

the Advance – but said he expected tobe “misrepresented” in the media.

Mackay said they were never toldwhat to do about the plumbing, andthe board sought a $1,300 paymentas reimbursement for calling in aplumbing company on one occasion.

He said there was no negotiationon any of the issues that promptedthe board to write its letter, whichsurprised him.

He was more surprised when thelandlord inked a deal with the resi-dents.

A check of provincial recordsreveals the society was incorporatedon Jan. 7, 2009, about the same timethe facility opened. Its eight directors

gave addresses in Abbotsford andWhite Rock.

Mackay said those people aren’tdirectors anymore, but wouldn’t givethe names of the current five boardmembers.

“I’m willing to take the crap here,”he said.

Other local rehab and social assist-ance groups, such as Stepping Stoneand the Salvation Army, were awareof its existence, but their staff hadlittle contact with Mission Possible.

The South Langley operation wasnot affiliated with a far more highprofile operation of the same name,which has operated in Vancouver’sDowntown Eastside for many years.

Addicts take over facility created for their care

…continued from page A5Vince noted that, when this all

happened mid-July, the office com-puter tower was removed.

“They instructed me to shred any-thing that was here,” Vince added.

Instead, the residents have beengoing through the files, learningabout the facility.

The residents have been in touchwith Langley Township, to ensurethey are following municipal rules.

“The Township has been absolute-ly great,” Vince noted.

Not so great has been the prov-incial government. Vince said theresidents are having trouble obtain-

ing their social service funds to coverrent.

Mackay said the society is lookingat space elsewhere, as a result of the“illegal coup” by the residents.

He told the Langley Advance that thesociety is “looking for another facil-ity.”

He said the same mistakes won’tbe made at any future facility, withall licensing and zoning properly inplace, and that he won’t get involvedunless the board of directors createsa solid business plan so the oper-ation is more professional.

“It just got to be really, reallymessy,” Mackay said.

Future Remembrance Day ceremonieswill be at Douglas Park, once a newcenotaph is built.by Heather [email protected]

Langley City is working with the RoyalCanadian Legion Branch 21 on what thenew cenotaph in Douglas Park will looklike.

The Langley Legion is moving fromEastleigh Crescent to a new building at20570 56th Ave. and taking the cenotaphalong and putting it on display, but anew one is being built so that the annualRemembrance Day ceremonies can beheld in the public park.

“When the Legion sold their propertyat Eastleigh Crescent, we thought it madeall kind of sense to move the cenotaphto Douglas Park because it has adequate

space to accommodate large crowd, bet-ter viewing sight line, and proper lightingand sound system at the Douglas ParkSpirit Square,” said City administratorFrancis Cheung.

The City will be retaining a landscapearchitect to help determine the best loca-tion for a new cenotaph and to developvarious options for a new structurewhich is a dedication to the Canadiansoldiers killed in wars or conflicts.

That’s also when cost estimates will bedone.

“City council will then work with theLangley Legion to select and finalize thecenotaph design,” Cheung said.

Then the City will set aside funds inits 2011 capital improvement plan and ifapproved by City council, the construc-tion will go ahead.

Remembrance ceremonies forNovember 2010 will be at the new 56thAvenue site but the Legion expects cere-monies starting in 2011 to be in the park.

by Heather [email protected]

TThe wrap-up of the Pay It For-ward campaign for 2010 camewith extra good news for three

local charities that help feed people.

The Langley Advance’s cam-paign chose the Langley Food Bank,Langley Meals on Wheels, and theGateway of Hope shelter as the recipi-ent charities this year.

They seemed like a natural fitwith the Food for Thought theme, andthanks to the campaign’s key spon-sors, each charity will receive grocerygift certificates for their programs.

Providing $500 worth of gift certifi-cates were sponsors East Side Marios

and Envision Financial.The food bank will receive $100 in

grocery gift cards, as well as the foodcontributions that have been collectedover the past several weeks at theLangley Advance office.

Each receiving $200 in gift cardsare Gateway and Meals on Wheels.

The contributions would not havebeen possible without the generoussupport of the community and thebusiness sponsors of Pay It Forward.

Pay It Forward

Three local charities benefit from Food for Thought

Shopping spree

Giving back is nothingnew to the people whogot the Pay It Forwardgrocery prize.by Heather [email protected]

Aldergrove resident Stan Elliswas surprised when he re-ceived the phone call that hehad won the Pay It Forward

grocery shopping spree.After all, while he had made food

donations, his wife Joann had mademore, and so she had had a betterchance of winning the contest.

The grocery giveaway was intendedto help fill the shelves of the LangleyFood Bank. The food bank, along withthe Gateway of Hope shelter and Lang-ley Meals on Wheels, was chosen toreceive assistance through this year’sPay It Forward campaign.

People who brought in donationsof non-perishable food or cash wereeligible for the giveaway of $150 ingrocery gift cards.

The retiree, who has lived inAldergrove’s Pioneer Park, is pleasedto contribute to the food bank. Thecontest was just icing on the cake.

“We always drop stuff off,” he said.The couple even has a strategy on

how to contribute.“When there’s two for one [at the

grocery store], we usually put the oneto the side, and it piles up,” Stan said.

Then the items are contributed.In fact, the couple also contributes

to campaigns at their housing com-plex. That’s because they’ve seen thepeople lined up at food banks.

After picking up her $150 in giftcards, Willoughby’s Laurel Thomasheaded down to the Langley FoodBank. “I’d really like to donate a por-tion of this back,” she said.

She had entered only the day beforethe contest closed, and was surprisedto have won.

“I was delighted,” Thomas said.Like so many who help others,

she finds there’s a big payoff for theperson giving.

“Any way we can give to others,it makes you feel better,” she said.“You’re actually the one who receivesmore than the other person, some-times, I think. In this world, kindnessgoes a long way.”

Contributing is nothing new toThomas, her husband Jim, and theirthree sons.

“Our kids went to Langley ChristianSchool, and as part of the curriculum,they volunteered some time at theLangley Food Bank,” she explained. “Itreally opened our eyes to the need.”

The kids are now grown men– Greg is 29, Kyle is 27, and Jason is25 – but the impact of volunteeringhas stayed with the family.

“I was surprised at the young fam-ilies that were coming into the foodbank,” Laurel noted. She added thatshe came to respect the people whovolunteer at the food bank, after find-ing out that many are former clientswho received food help themselves.

“That’s their way of paying it for-ward,” Laurel said.

Paying it Forward

A crew from Langley’s EastSide Mario’s will field ateam in the Oct. 3 Run forthe Cure fundraiser.by Roxanne [email protected]

Cancer has hit so close to homefor the crew of East Side Mario’srestaurant in Walnut Grove dur-ing the past few years, that it has

prompted a team of at least 10 staffers totake action.

They’re going to field at least one team inthis year’s CIBC Run for the Cure, an annualfundraiser held on behalf of the CanadianBreast Cancer Foundation.

The run is set for Oct. 3, which givesthe newly formed team little more than twomonths to reach their fundraising goal of$1,500, announced a very proud Mark Bos,owner of the restaurant.

“We’re always trying to do commun-ity outreach,” he said, explaining past staffinitiated food and clothing drives that havehelped the less fortunate inLangley, and fundraisers withthe firefighters that aid peopleliving with muscular dys-trophy.

While those efforts areexpected to continue, Bos saidhis staff were excited to learnlast week about 100 of theEast Side Mario’s locationsacross the country that arestepping up to create a futurewithout breast cancer.

Everyone on staff has beentouched directly or indirectlyby breast cancer or some other form of can-cer, said Bos, who lost his father to cancerwhen he was 11, and more recently lost his54-year-old sister to the disease.

“It was just a battle she couldn’t win,” hesaid, recalling her long struggle.

“We at East Side Mario’s do a lot of dona-tions and support for almost everything that

comes in the door,” Bos said. But the Runfor the Cure is a way to personally becomeactive.

“Outside of the corporate thing, I don’thave an opportunity to go out in the com-munity and volunteer much. It’s not that Idon’t want to. There’s just not enough hoursin the day,” he said.

This time, however, he and several of his63-member staff are determined to find thetime.

“East Side Mario’s is about family,” andthe Brookswood father of two is anxious tolead by example.

He’ll be joined on the Vancouver run/walk by a number of staffers, including AmyAshby, one of his kitchen staff who wasrecently touched by cancer.

Her husband’s aunt, a close family mem-ber, was diagnosed two months ago withbreast cancer – a disease that hits at leastone in nine Canadian women.

While her aunt had a bilateral mastec-tomy and is now in remission without theaid of chemotherapy or radiation, Ashby saidthe experience brought home the importanceof fundraisers like Run for the Cure, which

help fund research andsupport for people livingwith the disease.

“I’ve always wantedto do something,” Ashbysaid. “Maybe I shouldmake time now.”

This is the first time thestaff, many of whom havebeen with the restaurantsince it opened next toColossus in November2006, have rallied togetheron such a big charitableundertaking.

But Ashby is confident it won’t be thelast, and said she’s excited to be helping.The first group fundraiser, in fact, is set forSaturday, Aug. 21. It will be a car wash inthe restaurant parking lot from 11 a.m. to 3p.m. by donation to the cause.

Kellie Benoit has been bar manager at therestaurant since its inception in Langley, and

said she too is anxious to pitch in.Cancer has hit friends and family of this

36-year-old Burnaby woman, who still getschoked up when talking about the recentloss of her own mother.

While her best friend’s mother wasdiagnosed with breast cancer two year ago,she’s among the success stories becauseshe’s currently in remission. Benoit’s ownmother Wendy Scully, was not so fortunate.She lost her battle with cancer within weeksof a diagnosis.

“She knew something was wrong,”Benoit recalled, noting her mother receivinga lung cancer diagnosis in February, and byApril the disease had spread to her brain. Bythe middle of that same month, the diseasewas rampant, claiming the 55-year-oldMaple Ridge woman’s life.

“Cancer is a big thing in our family,”Benoit said, also explaining the loss of acousin six years ago to lymphoma cancer,her grandfather to lung cancer two yearsago, and even her 10-year-old rottweilerXena back in February.

“I’ve never been hesitant to help outwhere and when I can,” Benoit explained.“But this is a good time to get into it andreally try to make a difference.”

This fall, she’ll be walking/running withher colleagues at East Side Mario’s Lang-ley. But she’ll be doing it in memory of hermother, and in honour of her nine-year-oldson – who she hopes will join her at thefundraising event.

She hopes it’s the beginning of a lifetimecommitment to helping eradicate the diseaseknown as cancer.

A single thought pounded in my headas I left Camp Goodtimes last month.

I’ve got to raise more money.I was visiting along with the fellow

riders on the Cops for Cancer Tour deValley Team.

This September, we’re riding throughthe Lower Mainland to raise money forchildhood cancer research, and supportfor the kids. A big part of that support isCamp Goodtimes.

You don’t want your kid to be eligiblefor Camp Goodtimes. It serves childrenwith cancer, in recovery, or their siblings.

But if your child has cancer, it’s a god-send.

The camp is amazing. Bright, newbuildings nestled in a valley to the northof Maple Ridge. The crystal clear Loon

Lake laps at the docks. The camp staffand volunteers are vibrating with somuch energy and goodwill you expectthem to explode at any moment.

Most amazing are the medical facilities.Oncologists and specialist nurses volun-teer so that children who have delicateimmune systems, multiple medications,and even ones still in treatment, get thecare they need, and then go right back tobeing kids at camp.

How much does it cost, to operate acamp like this?

Plenty.How much does it cost parents to send

their kids?Zero. Zip. Nothing. The Canadian

Cancer Society will even pay for planetickets and get you to the camp gates.

Which is why I’ve got that thoughtstuck in my head.

I’ve got to raise more money. I’ve got tokeep this place going.

This year’s Cops for Cancer Tour deValley runs Sept. 23 to Oct. 1., fromDelta to Boston Bar.

“My goal is to provide you with the most effectivetreatment possible.”



Nicole and RichieBlackmore continueto make waves onlocal and internationalwaters.

by Troy [email protected]

Varying priorities havepulled the barefoot water-skiing endeavours ofAldergrove siblings Nicoleand Richie Blackmore abit off-kilter these days.

The national-level bare-footers both find them-selves pre-occupied withschool and other commit-ments, but they continueto ski at a high level.

Seventeen-year-oldRichie is coming off a goldmedal performance at lastweekend’s BC SummerGames.

He took home gold inboys 14-to-17-year-oldbarefooting at the event’stowed water sports venue,Albert Dyck Park inAbbotsford.

Twenty-year-oldNicole – Water Ski andWakeboard Canada 2009Barefoot Water-ski Athleteof the Year – holdsCanadian records in openwomen trick and slalom.

A member of the nation-al open barefoot water skiteam, Nicole will representher country at the worldchampionships, held nearBrandenburg-an-der-Havel,Germany (near Berlin)from Aug. 8-15.

Meanwhile, Nicole isworking on her bachelorof science degree at theUniversity of Calgary, andher schooling has takenher away from waterytraining grounds.

“That’s kind of taken atoll on my skiing, becauseI’m not able to ski everyday,” she said. “Schoolcomes first right now.”

When her school year

ended, Nicole moved toFlorida where she’s beenon the water as much aspossible in preparation forthe rapidly approachingworld championships.

“It’s coming up quick,”she said, regarding theworld event. “It’s scary.I have to do what mostgirls do all year, in a fewmonths.”

A shortened trainingregimen means modestexpectations for Nicole asshe prepares for Germany.

“My goal is to do the

best that I can,” she said.“Obviously that meansrepresenting Canada at thehighest female level.”

Richie has an impres-sive resumé. A Canadianjunior champion in 2005and 2008, he competed forCanada at the 2008 worldchampionships and earnedthe title of B.C. Barefooterof the Year in 2009.

However, pre-BC Games,Richie hadn’t skied sincespring break and admittedhe was out of shape.

“I’m trying to get back

into it,” he said.Barefooting, as it’s com-

monly known, is waterskiing on bare feet. Aswith water skiing, thereare three main events;slalom, tricks, and jump-ing.

Nicole said the sporthas been around for yearsbut still hasn’t completelycaught on with the young-er generation.

“Back in the day it usedto be an extreme sport,”Nicole said. “It’s not verypopular in our age group.

The biggest thing we cando is try to promote it andget as many people ourage to do it.”

To be an effective bare-footer, you have to befearless and a little on thecrazy side, Nicole said.

“The biggest thing youhave to get over is fear,”she said. “A lot of it is inyour head, just believingyou [can] do it.”

She added with a laugh,“the best barefooter, Iwould say, is the onethat’s not that intelligent,

because when you’regoing 45 mph, and youhave to do something andyou know that you couldfall, or pull your shoulderor twist your knee, you’vereally got to put your headinto it in order to do itproperly.”

Regardless of how shefares at future competi-tions, Nicole pictures her-self further down the roadwith her family, barefoot-ing for the pure love ofthe sport.

“It’s an escape,” shesaid. “Obviously I can’t[barefoot competitively]for the rest of my life. Ihave to go to school andget a career. But after finalexams, it’s just great tobe in the boat and withyour family. I get to beactive and do something Ilove. It’s something we’vegrown up doing as a fam-ily.”

Barefooting

Skiing siblings still skimming water surfacesElements of barefootwater-skiing

• In barefoot, the slalomevent is slightly different thanwater-skiing, in that there areno buoys. Athletes earn pointsfor crossing the boat’s wakes.Varying points are awarded forcrossing both wakes, one wakeand for passing on one or twofeet. Point values increase for themore difficult techniques.

• In tricks, athletes areallowed two passes through thetricks course, each 15 secondsin length, during which theyattempt to perform as manytricks as they can. There arepre-assigned point values for eachtrick and an athlete may performa trick only once. The athletewith the most points at the endof the event wins.

• In the jump event, athletesmay perform at speeds up to72 km/h. Normally athletes areentitled to three jumps per round,over a ramp that is only 18inches high.

If the July 22-25 weekend was anyindication, the future of the TrinityWestern University men’s volleyballteam looks very bright.

The men’s 2010 National TeamChallenge Cup was played in Torontoand the next wave of Spartans werevery much at the forefront of thecompetition as Devyn Plett, LucasVan Berkel, Branden Schmidt, BradKufske, and Derek Thiessen all repre-sented their respective provinces onthe U19 stage.

Plett, who will join the Spartansthis fall after graduating fromWinnipeg’s Mennonite BrethrenCollegiate Institute, continued to addto his perfect season of champion-ships by helping lead Manitoba to agold medal win over Alberta (25-19,21-25, 25-23, 21-25, 15-11).

The victory added to Plett’s2009/10 hardware haul that includesa high school provincial champion-ship, a club provincial championship,and a club national championship.

“I’m really happy for Devyn andhis Manitoba teammates in theirNTCC championship,” said Spartans

coach Ben Josephson. “It’s anothergreat achievement in a season ofdreams for Devyn. I am confident hewill bring his success streak to ourteam in Langley.”

While Plett came out on the win-ning end of the gold medal match,his future TWU teammates fromAlberta, Van Berkel and Schmidt,were both named to the juniornational team after the tournamentand will begin training immediatelyas the squad prepares for the 2010NORCECA Junior Men’s ContinentalChampionship that will take place inGatineau, Que. from Aug. 16-21.

“I’m ecstatic for Lucas andBranden to be selected to the jun-ior national team for this summer,”Josephson said. “The added trainingwith our country’s finest players andcoaches will do wonders for theirgame and open their eyes further tothe international level.”

Van Berkel and Schmidt join cur-rent Spartans Rudy Verhoeff andMarc Howatson on the nationalscene – with the latter two trainingwith the senior B team this sum-

mer – and former Spartan JoshHowatson, who is currently with thesenior team preparing for the worldchampionships.

The Spartans’ other two repre-sentatives at the NTCC, Kufske andThiessen, sported the colours ofTeam B.C. and helped their teamto a fifth place finish after beatingSaskatchewan in their last game (25-20, 23-25, 22-25, 25-17, 15-12).

For Kufske, it was a frustratingevent as he rolled his ankle in histeam’s first game and was unable toplay the rest of the tournament.

Thiessen, on the other hand, wasplaying in his first major tournamentin nearly a year after having ACLsurgery last summer and used thecompetition as an opportunity to playcatch up.

“This summer was a great summerfor Derek to get back into the flow ofvolleyball,” Josephson said.

The Spartans enter the 2010/11season after winning a silver medalat last year’s CIS title and will hostthis year’s CIS tournament fromMarch 4-6, 2011.

WHY MAIL IT?WHY MAIL IT?

L A N G L E Y A D V A N C E | Tue sday, Augu s t 3 , 2010 | A19Sports

I grew up in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and have been playing football since I wasin the seventh grade. From very early on, I knew I wanted to play professionalfootball, and focusing on that goal kept me motivated to do well in high schooland get in to university so I’d have an opportunity to realize my dream.After 10 seasons with the Lions, I still love coming to work every day and doing

whatever I can on offence to help this club win a championship for the CFL’sbest fans.Growing up, I saw firsthand what could happen to kids who don’t stayfocused on their goals, so I’m very aware of making sure my own children

are surrounded by positive influences, whether it’s encouraging my teenageson to do well in high school or coaching my younger son’s football team. It’s

also a big reason why I love taking part in our club’s community programs.Among the programs I take part in, I would say the Lions Pride program isone of the most rewarding, because I’ve seen firsthand what happens to a

young person’s life whenthey make the right choices.

The decisions a youth makestoday will affect them tomorrow,

and I take pride in knowing Imay have helped direct one of these

young people down a positive path.
