Two men were hurt and three peopleface charges after a violent incident onthe edge of Walnut Grove.by Matthew [email protected]

Three people are facing charges after twomen were injured during an attack at a legalmedical marijuana grow operation in WalnutGrove Sunday afternoon.

Just after 3:30 p.m., RCMP responded toreports of shots fired in the 8300 block of216th street. The road is a dead-end streetnorth of Telegraph Trail.

An off-duty officer in the area noted theactivity, and accessed his police vehicle andradio to give other officers information.

There were also some officers from theSurrey RCMP detachment in the area foranother investigation, and in combinationthose two factors led to a quick response,said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for theLangley RCMP.

During the incident, several suspects triedto enter the grow operation. Two men associ-ated with the medical marijuana grow wereon the property at the time of the attack.

One of them was shot and received non-life threatening wounds, while the other wasassaulted, said Marks.

The Emergency Response Team (ERT) andthe Lower Mainland Police Dog Services werecalled in, and officers in both marked andunmarked cars spread out throughout nearbysuburban Walnut Grove to seek out suspects.

One neighbour, who asked not to benamed, said he saw a large number of policeon Telegraph Trail to the west of 216th Street,some as far west as Alex Hope Elementary

and its adjacent park.After a foot chase

through the area, sev-eral arrests were made,said Marks.

Charges are expectedagainst a 23-year-oldwoman and a 29-year-old man, both fromSurrey.

The suspects are incustody and the Crownprosecutor will be seek-ing to keep them thereuntil their next court appearance, Marks said.

A third man, a 22-year-old also from Surrey,is also expected to be charged in relation tothe attack.

A gun has been seized, and police believethey have identified all the suspects associ-ated with the attack.

Officers were still at the scene gatheringevidence on Monday, with a cruiser stationed

for part of the morning at the intersection of216th Street and Telegraph Trail, and anotherwas in the driveway of a home on 216thStreet.

Neighbours said they believed the homehad been raided some years ago for hosting amarijuana grow operation, but Marks said thepolice did not have a record of an illegal growop being busted there.

Owner wants picsTanya Dewberry is hoping

a $500 reward is enough toencourage the thieves of herfamily photo albums to returnthem.

The Langley Meadows womanhas been prepping for a move toBrookswood and had householdgoods in a POD container.

On Saturday night, someonebroke in. The tears came whenshe realized what was taken.

“My hope chest and mymom’s hope chest,” sheexplained.

Her hope chest containedabout 40 photo albums, allthe family photos, includ-ing irreplaceable ones of herdeceased parents and otherdeceased relatives. They dateback as far as the 1940s.

Dewberry’s hope chest, datingfrom the late 1980s, is carvedwith peacocks and flowers. Hermother’s is much older, havingbeen obtained secondhand inthe 1960s. Both are cedar linedand have Asian style designs.

She’s scoured the neighbour-hood hoping the thieves realizedthey only had items of senti-mental value.

Dewberry said she isn’t ableto offer much for a reward butis hoping it’s enough to get thephotos back.

Ironically, the thieves madeoff with a heavy safe whichDewberry had emptied.

Langley womancauses collisionA Langley woman drove the wrong waydown a busy highway, into another car.

A man has a broken leg and a woman isundergoing psychological tests after a head-on collision in Abbotsford.

RCMP Insp. Tim Shields said the crashhappened just before 9 a.m. Sunday in thewestbound lanes of Hwy. 1 at the MountLehman overpass.

Shields said a Volkswagen Beetle was trav-elling east in the westbound lanes and hitanother car head-on.

The 29-year-old Abbotsford man drivingthe westbound car was airlifted to hospitalwith a broken leg and injured knees.

The driver of the Beetle, a 36-year-oldLangley woman, suffered minor injuries.Police said in a news release that it appearsthe woman “was aware of what she wasdoing at the time of the collision. Witnessesstate the Beetle did not swerve to avoid thecollision.”

She was admitted to a hospital and isundergoing a psychological assessment.

Cars headed westbound Sunday werebeing diverted from the accident scene,using off-ramps, police said.

A fatal crash on FraserHighway involved threevehicles and a number ofvictims.by Heather Colpittsand Matthew [email protected]

One person is dead and threeothers are injured after a truckcrossed the centre line on FraserHighway in Otter Saturday after-noon.

Police were called to the col-lision at approximately 2:15Saturday afternoon near 244thStreet on Fraser Hwy.

The collision involved threevehicles – a pickup truck, aminivan and a Toyota Echo.

“It is believed the pickuptruck with its lone occupantdriver was eastbound on FraserHighway when it crossed thecentre line and collided with asecond vehicle which then col-lided with a third,” said LangleyRCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.

“The driver of the pickup truckis being transported to hospitalwith non-life threatening injur-ies as are one occupant fromeach of the other two vehicles,”Marks said soon after the crash.“The second occupant of thepassenger car is deceased at thescene.”

The victim in the Toyota was a

52-year-old Langley man, Markssaid. He had been driving.

Most of the other peopleinjured in the crash have nowbeen released from the hospital,although the 33-year-old womanwho was driving the mini-vanremains in care with non-lifethreatening injuries.

Alcohol has been ruled out asa possible casue of the crash.Police are now considering thepossibility that a pre-existingmedical condition may havebeen an issue.

To help determine exactlywhat happened, police are look-ing to speak to two women whomay have witnessed the crash.

The first is Caucasian, in her30s, and was a new customer at

the nearby beauty salon. She didnot remain to speak with inves-tigators.

The second was a nurse orfirst responder of some sort andwas helping with first aid in theimmediate aftermath of the col-lision. She also left before givinga statement to the police.

Either woman, or any otherwitness who has not come for-ward, is being asked to call theLangley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Langley Traffic called in ICARS(Integrated Collision Analysisand Reconstruction Service) toassist with the investigation.

The section of Fraser Highwaybetween 240th and 244th Streetswas temporarily closed for theinvestigation.

Rotary clubs willsponsor youth to go toa leadership camp.by Roxanne [email protected]

A free camp is beingoffered just south of theborder, and young Langleypeople between the agesof 18 and 30 are invited toapply.

While it is much like aretreat held in cabins nearMount Baker, RotarianMidori Turner said this isno ordinary camp.

Rotary Youth LeadershipAwards (RYLA) is aleadership developmentprogram run by Rotary.

It is offered through aleadership camp spon-sored by the 50/50 RotaryDistrict, and the purposeis to give youth an oppor-tunity to grow as peopleand to develop leadershipskills that they can bringback to their community,explained Turner.

“The youth who haveattended always comeback to us with noth-ing but positives,” saidTurner, who has been amember of the Rotary Clubof Langley Sunrise forthree years.

Abran Johnson is one

Langleyite who has takenadvantage of the camp,and recommends it highlyfor other like-minded anddriven young individuals.

“I think RYLA is a greatexperience and youngpeople should considergoing, especially if theydon’t know what theywant out of life and needinspiration or some sort ofguidance… the weekendwas helpful in understand-ing who you are,” Johnsonsaid.

She is a 22-year-oldWalnut Grove youthcurrently studying inter-national relations at theUniversity of B.C. in theOkanagan. She’s in herfourth year, heading

towards law school, andshe attended the RYLAcamp two years back.

While it didn’t changethe direction she was tak-ing in her life, Johnsonknows it made a big dif-ference.

“RYLA is unlike anyother leadership camp,”she told the Langley Advance.“Like most camps thespeakers were inspira-tional and had a lot tooffer. But what set RYLAapart for me was that wewere placed into groups,and these groups becameyour family and supportthroughout the weekend,”Johnson explained.

Metro Vancouver lost its bid toassert its rule over Langley Townshipdevelopment plans.by Heather [email protected]

Langley Township won.The B.C. Supreme Court has said Metro

Vancouver does not get to overrule theTownship over the Wall development.

Madam Justice Neena Sharma dis-missed Metro Vancouver’s petition.

“We are pleased with the outcome ofthe case, and that the court has clarifiedthe issue of jurisdiction over land useplanning in Langley,” said Mayor JackFroese. “We look forward to productivecooperation with GVRD going forward,to ensure that appropriate planning goalsfor both the Township and the region areidentified and achieved.”

To accommodate the university’sexpansion, lands at 7645 and 7679 GloverRoad and 22423 Labonte Avenue havebeen rezoned to Residential InstitutionZone P-3, the same zone that is currentlyused for the existing TWU campus. Thezoning allows for residential and otheruses associated with the primary assem-bly use, such as the creation of facilitiesfor teaching, research, administration,recreation, and housing.

Metro Van lawyer Gregg Cockrill arguedthat the plans would “blow a big hole inthe regional plan” and was an assault onthe region’s green zone.

He said the small, densely packed lotsamounted to urban development, not inkeeping with the vision for the regionalcontext statement signed in 1998.

The project has received conditionalapproval from the Agricultural LandCommission.

The Township argued it had the legalright to make zoning decisions for theproperty, which as been earmarked fordevelopment for more than two decades.The land sits beside Trinity WesternUniversity.

“The decision by the court will allowTrinity to grow and serve the needs offuture students and the community as awhole,” Froese said. “Development of asurrounding University District will putthe Township on the map as a centre foreducation and training.”

Clint Eastwood famously told Eli Wallach,near the end of the great spaghetti westernThe Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, “There aretwo kinds of people in the world: those withloaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.”

There have been all kinds of “two kinds ofpeople” assertions since then, most of themacerbic, including Tom Robbins’s clever contri-bution, “There are two kinds of people in thisworld: Those who believe there are two kindsof people in this world, andthose who are smart enough toknow better.”

Well, I don’t have a loadedgun, and I don’t know how tofit myself into either side of theRobbins paradox.

But I do know that there aretwo kinds of people in thisworld: those who are annoying, and thosewho are annoyed.

And the ones who are most annoyed areusually the ones who are most annoying.

Wait a minute… that means… I’m probablyannoying you right now.

Because the fact is, I’m annoyed.In fact, I’m finding it annoying that I’m

annoyed by an annoying complaint I receivedfrom an annoyed person who is apparentlyannoyed about something that wouldn’t benearly so annoying if it weren’t so darnedannoying, because it just happens to be moreannoying than usual.

The complaint is about the noisome noiseof annoying airplanes flying over the annoyedindividual’s home… where they normally fly,because that’s where they’re supposed to fly…but on this day, the pilots should have knownto fly somewhere else – anywhere else – lessannoying.

This particular complaint came to my desk

from an individual who has chosen to live inclose proximity to Langley Regional Airport,but it could as easily apply to annoyed peoplewho have chosen to annoy themselves by liv-ing under the flight paths of Pitt MeadowsAirport or Boundary Bay Airport or AbbotsfordAirport or Vancouver International Airportor… I could go on and on and on.

But that would probably annoy you.Maybe it would annoy you as much as I get

annoyed by people who leave the city to livein the country… and then complain bitterlyabout how annoying the country is, and howit should be more like the city.

They come out to the country to live nextto cows dotting bucolic hillsides and expansesof green fields with birds singing and wildlifeoffering exciting and picturesque views on the

margins.But soon they are annoyed

by the sounds of cows mooingat all hours… and the manure!Yuck!

The songbirds are soon accom-panied by annoying crows, andstarlings and Brewer’s black-birds that annoyingly want to

nest in mailboxes (which are also annoyingbecause you have to walk so darned far – allthe way to the end of your driveway! – to getyour mail).

And the wildlife? That turns out to be cou-gars and coyotes and bears, oh my!

So the annoyed newcomers demand weshoot the cougars on sight… which is probablypretty annoying to the cougars… and if thecoyotes don’t stop being so annoying, they’llget the same treatment.

Bears are another story: they’re annoying,but the annoyed folks get really annoyed ifyou kill them… something about them beingall cute and cuddly, as well as dangerouslyannoying… so they have to be moved towhere they can annoy someone else.

We haven’t got into how annoying raccoonscan be. And beaver. And squirrels… thosedarned, annoying squirrels.

Fact is, annoyance is part of the human con-dition. Welcome to your humanity!

Measles thriveon ignorance

The measles have escaped the ultra-con-servative – and ultra-ignorant – religiouscommunity in Chilliwack where the mostrecent outbreak of the dangerous diseasestarted.

And as the disease creeps westwardthrough the Fraser Valley, cases are croppingup closer and closer to Langley.

This is not a small thing. Measles is not aminor ailment like the common cold.

It’s serious.One in three children who catch the

disease will be hospitalized. About onein 3,000 will die. Somewhere in betweenlies the number of children who will suf-fer severe brain trauma, and many of thosewill live with the effects for the rest of theirlives. Permanent hearing loss is a relativelycommon legacy.

The real tragedy lies in how easy it is toavoid infection. A simple vaccination con-fers immunity from the disease and all of itsrisks.

Yes, some prominent people have sug-gested that vaccinations are dangerous.Much of that speculation originated with the“research” of Andrew Wakefield, which hasbeen thoroughly debunked and discredited.His infmaous article in Lancet was retracted.

But the actors and celebrities promul-gating that nonsense haven’t bothered tokeep up with developments – the way theywould if they were real scientists, instead ofpretending to be scientists during a movieshoot.

Don’t listen to celebrities. They have noexpertise, and worse still, they have littlemotive to be concerned about their ownignorance. They have the resources to safe-guard their kids – to keep them away fromother kids whose parents haven’t vaccinatedthem – so they have the luxury of giving into their own ignorance without putting theirchildren at tremendous risk.

Do your research from reputable sources:ask questions of medical experts and avoidtalk show nonsense.

And if you still choose not to vaccinate,then keep your kids at home… for theirsafety as well as others’.

Tue sday, Mar ch 18 , 2014 A7Letters to the EditorLangleyAdvance

Dear Editor,Is it just me, or does anyone else

notice the poor paving jobs these days?The new interchange area at 56th

Avenue and 196th Street area isbrutal. It’s uneven, has bumps thatmake the tires go bang, and that’snot to mention the numerous patcheswhich could have been repaired at thesame time.

And who is the genius who loves to putmanhole covers etc. right in the line of tiretravel?

Then there’s the new bridge,finally open, on 56th Avenue nearLangley Secondary School. Whopaved the road? I am sure threeblind mice could have done a betterjob, or even my four- and seven-year-old kids.

It’s brutally bad – and why is itcurved now?

I guess I should be happy; at least my taxdollars can go towards fixing it, keepingpeople employed.

to the

Editor

Dear Editor,I am 27 years old, and

growing up, I was alwaystaught to treat others theway you want to be treated,and that everyone is equal.

I was also taught notto judge others by theirappearance, race, or howmuch or how little moneythey have.

My boyfriend and I were

waiting in Tim Hortons(on 200th by WillowbrookShopping Centre) for ourride home, when our friendJack showed up. Jack ishomeless, and has beensince I’ve known him. Hepanhandles on the medianfor a living.

Jack talked to us for a bit,then offered to buy us eacha coffee and a doughnut. He

stood in line and waited toorder – but when it cameto his turn and he began toorder, the employee said,“We can’t serve your kindanymore.”

It wasn’t like Jack hadno money; he had two Timcards which had plenty ofmoney on them. And hewasn’t loud or rude.

So Jack asked my boy-friend to order the samething, with the samecards (and the exact sameemployee saw Jack ask myboyfriend), and what doyou know, my boyfriendhad no problem at all.

That seriously angeredme. Homeless people arepeople just like anyoneelse. Shouldn’t people treatothers how they themselveswould like to be treated?We should be helping outhomeless people like Jack,not pushing them down.

This is not the first I’veseen this type of harshand uncalled-for behaviourin Langley. It’s so bad,I’m ashamed of sayingit’s where I was born andraised. It’s time for Langleyto stop judging and dis-criminating.

Crystal Penner, Langley

Homeless

Treatment of friend was shameful

Homeless

Poetic burden appreciatedDear Editor,

I was so much impressed with your column [Such areburdens that we bore, March 4 Odd Thoughts, LangleyAdvance] that I felt I must write.

It was late into the evening that I felt my eyesdeceiving when I opened up the paper to be greeted withnew lore.

I gasped with exclamation when I read with consterna-tion, the lore that spread salvation with regard to homelesspoor.

A band-aid is provided for the souls so undivided intheir faceless search for purpose as they reach and reach formore.

A shelter no solution, yet we reach for absolution, for thetreatment we inject provides false bravado to the core.

I read we should be caring, reaching out to them andsharing, sharing life and help shouldering the burdens thatthey bore.

This article that greeted seemed to help with what preced-ed and will surely open eyes that once meted out the score.

Susan Bryan, Langley

Dear Editor,My brother George and I established a

medical practice in Fort Langley in the late1950s. I am appalled by the anger, hostility,and rancour which has been engenderedover the proposed Coulter Berry building.The unkind bitterness exhibited does notbode well for the village.

This hostility and malice appears to stemmainly from those flashing “yellow hands.”It does little toward forwarding their argu-ment, and only furthers the split.

At one time, Fort Langley was a “pass-through” for the Albion Ferry, and heldlittle or no interest. Even the fort was onlyone building used for storage, along with alarge lumber mill being the mainstay for thevillage. All of that has changed, and verymuch for the better.

Upon retiring, we left for other climes,always having a hankering to return tothis unique place we called home. After 30years, we have returned, and now find nota small, tired hamlet, but a vibrant, thriv-ing, bedroom community for Vancouverwith dwellings in the million-dollar mark.

Fort Langley has become a destinationpoint of considerable interest, with a refur-bished fort back to its original state, a cran-berry festival, notable shops, etc.

The Coulter Berry complex and the visionof this developer is something for which tobe thankful.

Some may prefer a smaller scale, but atthis stage it looks as though we have onlytwo choices, as a two-storey building is notan option.

Either council rejects the application andour beautiful village is left with the HeritageHole for some considerable time, or alterna-tively, we accept with grace and gratitudethis outstanding LEED Gold standard build-ing and proceed accordingly.

Oh, by the way, it is doubtful that thisbuilding will block out the sun!

Please stop the animus.Mike Neilson, Fort Langley

A growing tourism climate ischanging the way tourism providersare getting their message out.by Roxanne [email protected]

The way people access informationabout their desired tourism destinations isevolving, and so must the Langley organ-ization funneling much of that local infor-mation to the masses.

The amenities that attract people tovisit Langley are increasing, with morefacilities each year offering unique prod-ucts and services – whether throughagri-tourism, retail operations, or des-tination attractions – explained DeborahKulchiski, executive director of TourismLangley.

But how people are finding out aboutthose services and products has shifted sosignificantly in recent years that the teamat Tourism Langley is having to dramatic-ally change how it does its job, she said.

At present, the Tourism Langley officeis located in the Langley Events Centre,and while that location during the pastfour years has been instrumental inincreasing visibility and awareness to thefledgling umbrella organization, societalchanges have spelled an end to the needfor such a high-profile location, saidTourism Langley president Angie Quaale.

Bottom line, fewer and fewer people are

actually stopping in at the actual visitorinformation centre, instead gaining muchof what they need on the Internet, and infact much of it via their mobile devises.

Kulchiski said a lot of energy is beingrefocused to serve visitors and allTourism Langley’s community partnersthrough an increased web presence.

Constant amenity and event updatesare made to www.tourism-langley.ca, andthe agency reaches out through initiativessuch as the #langleyfresh cam-paign aimed at engaging resi-dents and visitors alike to sharehow they see Langley, throughon Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,and other social media.

In the meantime Langley con-tinues to grow as atourism destination.

It boasts a widerange of crowd-pleasing tourismamenities, such theGreater VancouverZoo, the Fort LangleyNational HistoricSite, and CascadesCasino.

Langley’s popular-ity as an event hostalso continues to blossom – in part due toevents like the well-established LangleyGood Times Cruise-In car show, theCanada Day festivities, Arts Alive!, andthe Cranberry Festival.

Those and other festivals and events

keep drawing thousands ofnew people each year todiscover what Langley hasto offer.

This combination of thetourism amenities, festivals,high-calibre events, andarts and historic attractions– peppered with the mixof shopping options andnatural amenities such an

extensive weave of trails– positions Langley wellas a popular destination,Kulchiski said.

But one of largest areas oftourism growth in Langleyhas, without question, beenon the sports front, Quaaleexplained.

“As interest and partici-pation in sport grows withinthe leisure industry, thedesire of people to travel

to compete in or to view sporting eventshas grown significantly,” she said, notingthat “Langley truly continues to shine andexcel as a destination for sports.”

Whether people are coming to paddleon the Fraser River, cycle through thefarm and wine country of South Langley,or play team sports on the fields or inarenas, gyms, or state-of-the-art recrea-tion facilities around the community,every visitor is helping Langley is nowearning distinction as a sporting mecca.

On that front, it didn’t hurt that Langley

played hostto the 2010BC SummerGames andthe 2013BC SpecialOlympics, or that hundreds of older ath-letes are expected here this fall for the BCSeniors Games.

On the national level, Langley alsohosted the Canadian Legion track andfield championships in 2013, and con-tinues to host some of the country’s mostnoteworthy equestrian competitions atThunderbird Show Park.

And, of course, Langley Events Centreis playing a key role in building thiscommunity’s sporting reputation, espe-cially with the addition of the VancouverStealth and national lacrosse play.

Whether sports fanatic, avid golfer,outdoor enthusiast, or weekend warrior,Langley has something for everyone,Kulchiski said.

And numbers indicate that more andmore people are discovering it.

The BC Government is proposing to offload the province’s world-classrecycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association ledby big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better,more efficient program that costs taxpayers less. Unfortunately, whatwe’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess. What’s going on here?

New kittens arrived atthe Patti Dale AnimalShelter via taxi.by Matthew [email protected]

Some cats and their vol-unteers will be happy thatso many Langley residentsare fond of cupcakes.

The Feb. 24 NationalCupcake Day event hasraised almost $8,000for the Langley AnimalProtection Society.

“Really successful,” shel-ter manager Sean Bakersaid after the event.

National Cupcake Dayallows people to host cup-cake parties and sell cup-cakes – homemade, froma mix, or bought from thestore – and donate themoney to local animal wel-fare groups.

LAPS signed up for thefirst time this year, and itwas more successful thanthe group had hoped for.

The official total raisedwas a little over $7,000through the officialCupcake Day website, butseveral people apparentlyheld fundraisers independ-ently, and have been drop-ping off money.

The cat cottage willget a new coat of paint.Completing the building’sflooring, repainting thewalls, and repainting thecat cages should be pos-sible with the moneyraised from Cupcake Day.

“The cat building isreally a critical part of ouroperation,” Baker said.

The cottage is mostlyrun by volunteers whotend to the many cats,both stray and feral, thatcome through the shelterevery year.

Some of the newestadditions got there in anunusual way.

On Feb. 25, the sheltergot a call from a LangleyCity resident. She hadfound two cats a couple ofmonths ago and could nolonger keep them.

Unable to go to the shel-ter near Aldergrove, shecalled a cab.

By the time the catsarrived, one had givenbirth to two kittens in thecab, and a third was onthe way.

The shelter wound upwith two adults and threekittens. The second adultcat was also pregnant, andsome more kittens are onthe way, Baker said.

The Patti Dale AnimalShelter, run by LAPS, isno-kill. Healthy animalsare kept there until theycan be fostered or find anew, adoptive home.

Patti Dale Animal Shelter

Cupcakes fund cat care

…continued from page A11Baker explained this can include items

like dental care, better diet, removal oflumps, and other concerns a pet ownerwould normally take care of.

“They are things that make the animalshealthier, help them live longer, andmake them easier to adopt,” he added.“If we can reduce some of those barriersto adoption we can get these guys outquicker.”

When asked if the donation came as asurprise, Baker noted there was a not-so-subtle hint just prior to the gift.

“Stacey [Kosturos] called me and said,‘I’d like to come see you, are you goingto be around next week?’ I asked if it wasgood news and she said, ‘yes,’” Bakercommented.

Kosturos came with the cheque and afew family members to make the presen-tation. Baker said he tried to explain theamount of money, and the significance ofthe gift, to the younger visitors by relat-

ing it to candy.“They couldn’t understand 80,000 gum-

balls either,” he noted.The donation also helps with the LAPS

spay and neuter program.“We do about 20 certificates [for free

spay and neutering] a month. It costsabout $12,000 a year,” said Baker. “Weare committed to spaying or neutering240 cats a year that never come into theshelter. Some are free-living cats – theyare feral or are just homeless. Peoplelet us know there is a free-living cat inthe area, we catch them, spay or neuterthem, then return them. It helps controlthe cat population. Others are from lowincome families.”

Baker noted about $100,000 a year isspent on veterinary care alone for the ani-mals under the care of LAPS. The Shewangift will benefit many local animals.

“They’re really community minded,”said Baker. “They’ve been in Langley along time.”

STED

A rain soaked semifinalSaturday saw LangleyUnited win 3-1.

The Pakenham Cup isthe “Granddaddy” of soc-cer cups in Canada.

Fred Pakenham ofMission donated theornate silver cup forchallenge competition in1909. It was then one ofPakenham’s prized pos-sessions, having beengiven to the Pakenhamfamily much ear-lier by King George III ofEngland.

Competition wasencouraged amongst theFraser Valley teams eastof New Westminster,Mission City was selectedas the site for each CupFinal.

In this year’s semifinalat Langley’s WilloughbyPark, the Langley United Premiersquad won against AldergroveUnited. The second match wasAbbots Magnuson Ford Utd and thewinning PMO Lordco Gunners.

With 3-1 win, Langley UnitedPremier is in the final of thePakenham Cup March 29 in PortMoody.

The Pakenham Cupis now famous, notonly for being the old-est cup still in compe-tition, but also for itshabit of getting lost.

During its existence as a soccercup, it has been out of circulation fora total of 32 years. It disappeared thefirst time after the 1927 season and

finally showed up 21 years later in asecondhand store.

It disappeared again after the 1965competition. At that time, most ofthe Fraser Valley teams east of NewWestminster played in a separate div-ision of the Mainland League. A fewValley teams played in the Mainland

League.The 1965 Cup

Winners, PortCoquitlam, was onesuch team. When theFraser Valley SoccerLeague was officiallyformed the same year,

Port Coquitlam refused to switch tothe Valley League. When the Valleyasked for the cup to be returned for

the 1966 competi-tion, Port Coquitlamhid the Cup andrumored that thePakenham, alongwith the BradnerCup, had been stolenby vandals fromthe trophy case atthe CommercialHotel. Somehowthe Bradner Cupreappeared in timefor the 1966 pres-entation, but thePakenham Cup couldnot be traced.

When the ValleyLeague insistedon a replacement,Don March, whoheaded a second PortCoquitlam team inthe Valley League,purchased a substi-tute which was pre-sented annually from1966 to 1971, inplace of the original

Pakenham Cup.In 1972, almost as mysteriously as

it had disappeared, the PakenhamCup reappeared, recovered by DonMarch, who promptly returned itto the Valley. Arthur Pakenham, ofSeattle, personally presented the cupthat year.

Anyone lucky enough to get a closelook at the cup will notice there weretwo winners in 1951. The reasonis the longest Pakenham Final onrecord, lasting well over four hours.After a full game and three overtimeperiods, Bradner and Mission called ita draw, sharing honours.

The competition was not held 1915-1920, the war years.

Playoff hockey

Kodiaks get playoffsecond chanceThe Aldergrove Kodiaks are going up againstthe Richmond Sockeyes in a replay of the2013 PJHL playoff final.

The Pacific Junior Hockey League playoffs haveunfolded as they should.

The teams left standing are the top dogs of thePJHL: the Aldergrove Kodiaks and RichmondSockeyes.

The Tom Shaw Conference champion Sockeyesled the PJHL with a 34-5-3-2 record.

The Harold Brittain Conference kings, theKodiaks, had the second-best regular season recordin the league, at 34-6-2-2.

Both teams battled past a tough second-roundopponent to reach the PJHL playoff final for thesecond time in as many years.

The Kodiaks dispatched the Abbotsford Pilotsin five games in their best-of-seven series. TheAldergrove junior Bs clinched the series with a 7-3win over the Pilots last Wednesday (March 12) atAldergrove Arena.

The Kodiaks bookended lopsided wins (theyopened the series with a 7-2 win March 4 atAldergrove Arena) between three close games.

Aldergrove beat Abbotsford 2-0 on March 5,lost 3-2 to the Pilots in overtime on March 7, andpushed Abby to the brink of elimination with a 3-2win March 8.

In the series-clinching victory, the Kodiaksmanufactured a 4-0 first-period lead before cruisingto victory.

Elvis Jansons and Spencer McHaffie each scoredtwice for the Kodiaks, who got singles from JoshuaCronin (who added two assists), Jonathan Philley,and Stephen Ryan.

Philley and Ryan each added an assist to theirtotals.

Spencer McHaffie tacked on one assist for athree-point night while his brother Scott posted apair of helpers.

The Sockeyes, meanwhile, completed a four-game sweep of the North Vancouver Wolf Packwith an 8-5 win, also played last Wednesday at theHarry Jerome Sports Centre in North Vancouver.

Every game in that series was decided by twogoals or less, with two of the games decided inovertime, both won by Richmond by 4-3 counts.

The title series is a replay from last year, whenthe Sockeyes cruised to a four-game sweep of theKodiaks.

Game one of the best-of-seven 2014 champion-ship series is tomorrow (Wednesday, March 18) atAldergrove Arena. Game time is 7:15 p.m.

Games two and three will be played at RichmondArena Thursday and Sunday (March 19 and 23).

The series returns to Aldergrove Arena for gamefour next Wednesday, March 26, with a 7:15 p.m.start time.

Walkey Hockey is a go.The eight teams for this

new no-running/jogging,non-contact street hockeyleague for people 50 andolder starts play April 5 atthe Church of Jesus Christof Latter Day Saints lot.

There are eight teams setup, and there is still roomfor about eight more play-ers, said organizer MurrayCameron.

The league runs sixweeks and the cost is $40,which covers refs and nib-

blies. Anyone 90 and oldergets to play for free.

Cameron said therewon’t be goaltenders, andthe nets will be smaller.

This street hockey with atwist league allows peoplesome competition andexercise without hits tothe body and jarring of thejoints.

“It’s such a simple idea,”the 65-year-old com-mented.

He’s driven to start theleague by a concern with

the number of overweightpeople today.

Anyone interestedin playing can contactCameron at [email protected] or at 778-241-7226. The only equipmentpeople need to bring is aregular hockey stick.

“You can get it at anyflea market or thrift store,”he said.

The games will beplayed in the rear lot ofthe Mormon Temple at20030 82nd Ave.

The Bulldogs take theB.C. high school 4Abasketball title.

The Sir WinstonChurchill Bulldogsedged Surrey’s HolyCross Crusaders 67-64in Saturday night’s ten-sion-filled 4A final at theLangley Events Centre tocapture the first seniorboys title in school hist-ory.

They were led by thesublime 30-point per-formance of tournamentMVP Mindy Minhas andbecame the first publicschool from Vancouver,other than four-time win-ner Kitsilano, to capturethe title since the 1961Magee Lions.

The Bulldogs still man-aged to forge into a 34-31halftime advantage.

The Bulldogs were up62-55 with 2:04 remain-ing but couldn’t hit anyfoul shots down thestretch. They were aghastly 4-for-16 in thefourth quarter, enablingHoly Cross to stay in thegame.

The Crusaders did nar-row the margin to 62-61with a minute to go.

They had a final pos-session, needing a trey toforce overtime, and felljust short.

In the 3A final playedearlier Saturday,Burnaby’s St. Thomas

Moore Knights thumpedthe Charles HaysRainmakers of PrinceRupert 53-38, the rainstorm outside appar-ently no help to theRainmakers indoors.

The Knights, after sur-rendering the game’sfirst basket, took the lead

from there and neverrelinquished it.

They were up by quar-ter scores of 15-11, 31-24and 41-29 and took fullcommand early in thethird when they reeled offthe first seven points togo up by 14 points.

The Maple Ridge Ramblers bested the Fleetwood Secondary Dragonsin one of the match-ups at the B.C. Boys Basketball 3A and 4AChampionships. Teams from around the province as well as theirsupporters came to the Langley Events Centre for the provincials.

Coquitlam jumped out to a two-games-to-nothing lead on Langley.

What happened to the CoquitlamExpress team that the Langley Rivermenrouted 12-2 not-so-long ago?

The Express have put that Oct. 24,2013, thumping in their rearview.

They are shaping up to be the surpriseteam of the B.C. Hockey League playoffs,eliminating the Prince George SpruceKings in six games in the opening roundand jumping ahead 2-0 in games on the’Men in their best-of-seven, second roundseries.

Not bad for a team that finished theregular season with an underwhelming27-26-2-3 record, good for third in theBCHL’s Mainland Division.

Compare that to the Rivermen who ledthe Mainland and entire BCHL with a 37-13-3-5 mark and dispatched the SurreyEagles in six games in their first roundseries.

The Rivermen have their hands fullwith the Express, beating Langley 4-2on Friday and 2-1 on Saturday. Bothgames were played at the George PrestonRecreation Centre, the original home ofjunior A hockey in Langley.

The Rivermen’s home rink at theLangley Events Centre had the B.C. QuadA and Triple A boys high school basket-ball championships.

“Playing at GPRC was a good experi-ence for our guys, as it was a chance toreflect on some of the local hockey hist-ory,” said head coach Bobby Henderson.

The Express took a 2-0 first period leadand then held on for a one-goal victory.

Zach Hodder and Ryan Rosenthal, on

a Coquitlam powerplay and with 52 sec-onds to go in the frame, scored first-per-iod goals for the Express.

There was no more scoring afterthat until the 13:28 mark of the thirdframe, when Kevan Kilistoff scored theRivermen’s lone goal.

Led by goaltender Gordie Defiel, whomade 36 saves in total, the Express heldthe Rivermen off the scoreboard the restof the way to win by one. Langley goal-tender Brock Crossthwaite had a stronggame, stopping 33 of 35 shots.

“The Express are getting some timelygoaltending which is helping their cause,”Henderson said. “Their forwards havebeen one of the top scoring team all sea-son.”

The series has now shifted toCoquitlam’s Poirier Sports and LeisureCentre. Game three was played last night(March 17) but got underway after theLangley Advance went to press Monday.

Game four is March 18 at the PoirierSports and Leisure Centre.

If the series goes beyond four games, afifth game will be played March 20, at theLEC. Opening faceoff is 7:15 p.m.

If a sixth game is necessary, it willbe played this Friday, March 21, at thePoirier Sports and Leisure Centre.

And if the series goes the distance, aseventh and deciding game is scheduledfor this Saturday, March 22, at the LECwith a 7:15 p.m. opening puck drop.

If there are a game five or game seven,tickets are available at langleyrivermen.com, or at the LEC box office.

“If we want to have success we needto continue to play tight defense and tomake the most of our offensive opportun-ity,” Henderson stressed.
