Major outagein Willoughby

About 1,700 B.C. Hydro customers lost power Thursday morning (Sept. 1).

The lines went dead around 7 a.m. in the area north of 65 Avenue, west of 216 street, south of 80 avenue and east of 200 street.

Power was restored around noon, but Shaw cable, internet and phone service was still out Friday and some residents had been told it might not be restored until Sunday.

The B.C. Hydro website listed the cause of the service interruption as “equipment failure” without giving details.

Customers who dialed the Shaw auto-mated service line were being told to expect waits of up to one hour to speak with a service representative.

At press time, B.C. Hydro and Shaw had not responded to a Times request for more information.

MAN SUFFERS BROKEN LEG

One man was taken to hospital with a broken leg after he was hit by a car in Langley.

It happened around 12:40 a.m. Tuesday morning (Aug. 30) in the 7600 block of 200 Street.

Langley RCMP said two male pedestrians were walking southbound on the east side of 200 Street when one of them crossed the road and was hit by a southbound 2007 Hyundai Accent traveling in the curb lane.

The 18-year-old man hit the hood and side mirror of the car and landed in a ditch on the west side of the street.

Both the injured man and the 23-year-old male driver of the Hyundai were Sur-rey residents. Police said no alcohol was involved on the part of the driver and no charges were expected.

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

A few days after Walnut Grove resident Rob Snazel warned a black bear was becoming bolder about foraging for food in his residential neighbourhood, the bruin paid him a visit.

Snazel, who works nights, was home with his one-year-old daughter Gemma and three-year old son Jackson on Wednesday afternoon (Aug. 31).

The two adults and four children in the home were all indoors when Emily Coch, a visiting relative, spotted the bear.

“I thought, what is a black bear doing in the back yard?” she said.

It was less than two metres away from the open entrance to the ground floor suite.

All the windows were open.Coch alerted Snazel, who

hastily evacuated the occupants to the upper floor of the house.

“I almost tore my son’s arm off,” he said.

He had a good look at the bear as it ambled through the back yard where his son had been

playing just 20 minutes earlier.“That’s a full-grown black

bear” Snazel said.He phoned 911 and a

conservation officer came out.But by the time the officer

arrived, the bear had departed.Earlier in the week, Snazel

told The Times there have been several close encounters with the bear in the residential neighbourhood near 206 Street

and 98 Avenue in recent weeks, and the animal appeared to be getting less timid about foraging through back yards in broad daylight.

At the very least, Snazel said, there should be some sort of bear warning notice posted in the

area of a children’s playground next to the green belt where the bear appears to be living.

Better yet, he said, the bear should be relocated before authorities have to shoot it.

On Aug. 16, an Langley RCMP officer was forced to shoot and kill a bear cub in another north Langley neighbourhood when it became aggressive.

Two bears were shot in Lower Mainland neighbourhoods last week, due to aggressive behaviour. One was shot last Tuesday in Anmore, and another was shot Thursday in Port Coquitlam.

NATASHA JONESTimes Reporter

Langley Township council imposed a moratorium on subdividing land above the Hopington in 1995, stipulating that it should remain “until a means of resolving any identified health and environmental concerns is determined.”

Since it was imposed, two attempts to quash the moratorium have failed, and not only have health and environmental con-cerns accelerated, the level of water in the

underground reservoir continues to fall at an alarming rate.

Subdivision does occur above the aquifer when an application meets zoning and sub-division control requirements.

At the last council meeting before the summer break, a majority of council backed Councillor Kim Richter’s motion calling for a legal opinion to see whether the moratorium can be converted to a bylaw, thus ending all subdivisions until the environmental concerns raised in 1995, and issues of the quality and quan-

tity of aquifer water, have been resolved. In her motion, Richter noted that

zoning over the aquifer has been in place for more than 40 years. Attempts in 1998 and 2005 to rezone at lower densities failed.

The highly-used Hopington aquifer is con-sidered the most vulnerable to contamina-tion in the province. Recognizing that, the government made it a groundwater protec-tion area, which means that a groundwater management plan must be approved before development can continue.

Organizers of a petition to resurrect the Lang-ley Medical Marijuana Dispensary plan to go door-to-door to collect signatures.

The campaign is being coordinated by Surrey resident Dan Mackle, one of the clients of the dispensary that was closed down by a police raid July 19.

“I was the very first one,” Mackle told The Times.

“Randy Caine [the pro-marijuana activist who founded the dispensary] was my designated grower.”

The 57-year-old Mackle said without the dispen-sary he will have to find other, possibly criminal suppliers for the marijuana he uses to treat a chronic pain condition.

“I no longer have safe sources,” Mackle said.The petition hopes to convince the City of Lan-

gley to allow the dispensary to operate as a pilot project, on the same basis as the Vancouver safe injection site for heroin addicts.

After the first afternoon of soliciting signatures in Langley’s McBurney Square, Mackle says about 50 people signed.

He says the petitioners plan to be out every Sunday in the square from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

He said they hope to begin knocking on doors later this month.

Updates on the campaign to revive the dispen-sary are being posted on the medical dispensary website at http://www.medicalmjdispensary.com.

JEFF NAGELBlack Press

The demise of the harmonized sales tax may mean a seven-per-cent break for motorists who use Metro Vancouver pay parking lots — depending on what the province decides in the months ahead.

TransLink tripled its tax on pay parking to 21 per cent in January 2010 and the switch to the HST that summer charged 12 per cent on top.

The compounding effect means motorists currently pay an extra 35.5 per cent in tax at paid lots.

But the end of the HST may mean only the five per cent GST will apply on top of TransLink’s 21 per cent come the spring of 2013.

“There’s no doubt in my mind,” said Charles Gauthier, executive director of the Downtown Vancouver Busi-ness Improvement Association.

“If we’re going back to the old system, I would imagine the PST

doesn’t exist for pay parking.”He said the government made it

clear with the change to the HST that the province was handing its taxing authority over parking to TransLink, meaning there should be no scope for a reintroduction of a provincial tax.

If so, the province would lose the seven per cent provincial com-ponent of the HST it now receives — worth close to $20 million a year. That’s actually money the province never got to keep prior to the HST, because the PST was previously remitted to TransLink.

TransLink officials say they’ve asked the province what’s planned but received no answers yet.

A finance ministry spokesman said the issue isn’t decided, adding it’s one of numerous decisions the government faces in the months ahead as it prepares to dismantle the HST.

TransLink collected $58.4 million last year from its 21 per cent park-ing tax.

Parking tax may decrease

As he sorts though the moths caught in his trap, Bob Puls delicately flicks the rejects away, sending them fluttering,

alive and unharmed, back into the bushes.

The home-made device uses a light to lure the moths into a conical trap they can’t fly out of until Puls removes the top.

“This one I’ve got and that one I’ve got,” he says.

“That one I don’t need.”One with bright orange on its back is

a keeper. Puls gently slides it into a small

container for a later close-up photo.

He averages one new species of moth a week.

Puls, a long-time member of the Langley Field Naturalists, says that in his teenage years growing up in the United Kingdom, he was the kind of outdoorsman who would wander around with a gun.

Now he wanders with camera, binoculars and notepad, maneuvering confidently through the sometimes steep trails with a walking stick that can double as as camera monopod.

The retired teacher is one of several volunteers engaged in a quest to list everything that moves or grows in a 150-acre wilderness area in the Fort

Langley area near 240 Street and 80 Avenue.

The publicly-owned Crown land is a former sawmill site that was abandoned after the mill and the millworkers’ housing burned to the ground in 1917.

“It really hasn’t been disturbed.”Tall second-growth trees tower

overhead, and the only faint evidence of former human habitation is the overgrown rise of land that marks a former logging road.

When the nearby Mountain View Conservation Society leased the 150 acres under an agreement that calls for preservation of the property, no one really knew what was there.

“How do we know what we’ve got?” is the way Mountain View director of program development Malcolm Weatherstone puts it.

“Really, we should see what we have.”That led to an agreement with the

volunteers of the Field Naturalists, who have been patiently adding to an ever-growing list of flora and fauna within the 150 acres over the last four years.

“It’s been a wonderful partnership,” says Weatherstone.

“This work is going to allow us to lay our plans. It’s going to allow us to plan ahead.”

From moths to fungus, Bob Puls and his fellow Langley Field Naturalists have taken on the daunting task of counting everything that lives in a 150-acre parcel of land near Fort Langley. The property was once the site of a sawmill, but has remained relatively untouched for nearly a century.

WE SAY

Look within your borders

Shortly after the Stanley Cup riot on June 15, a number of Vancouver-based commentators

were blaming much of the damage on residents of suburban cities like Surrey and Langley. They were suggesting that, had these people stayed home in their own communities, the riot and associated damage wouldn’t have happened.

While such commentary is xenophobic, and the specific residence of each rioter is virtually impossible to verify, their comments have at least the ring of truth. There is no question that many young people from outside Vancouver flocked to the city centre on the night of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, to take part in a unique group event.

In fact, they were encouraged to do so by Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and others. Similar large crowds had come to downtown Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympics, and there were virtually no problems.

However, as a report into the riot released on Thursday points out, there were many more safeguards at the Olympics. There were far more police and security personnel. When crowds gathered to watch a hockey game, they did so inside a securely-fenced area.

As Olympics CEO John Furlong suggested in the report, it appears that Vancouver officials forgot just how important crowd control is when staging large events. There needs to be visible, adequate and ongoing security. There needs to be perimeter fencing or some other way to contain people and keep attendees separated from the hangers-on.

People who come to watch a specific event need to be looked over carefully, and their bags searched — as happens at any Canucks, Lions or Whitecaps game.

The report does not try to blame suburban municipalities or their inhabitants for the riots. In fact. Langley Township and Surrey, to cite two examples, set up locations where people could come and watch the games. The Township’s site, at the Events Centre, did use some of the safeguards mentioned in the report.

Interestingly enough, there were no problems at either the Langley or Surrey locations. Nor were there problems at Scott Road and 72 Avenue in Surrey, where impromptu gatherings of fans took place after each game. Perhaps Vancouver commentators need to look more within their own borders.

THEY SAY

Setting bad example

The first day of school just may be the only shred of common sense there is in provincial education

these days.British Columbia has a long history

of teachers and politicians acting like petulant bullies in the school yard.

Both say they’re only doing what’s best for the children. Hogwash.

Like all of us, teachers want more money and a lighter workload for the job they perform nine months every year. The politicians want to appear to be appeasing taxpayers by holding the line on salaries and heaping more work on the teachers.

The public sector already receive salaries and benefits most private sector workers drool over, screams the BC Liberals. We’re not going to give any increases to anybody in the public sector, they huff, and that includes the teachers because there’s not enough money in the kitty.

Well, it’s their own fault, retorts the teachers federation, because back in 2001 the Libs wanted to be seen as the good guys and reduced taxes. Return to those levels of taxation and it’s possible to increase education funding.

So does that mean teachers want taxes hiked so they get paid more?

The games both sides are playing as they begin negotiating is getting sickening. Finding solutions to such immense problems is not going to be easy. The odds of making it happen, though, would be improved immensely if they got rid of the petty backbiting that consumes both sides at such a nauseating level.

They are certainly not setting good examples for the children.

There are some amazing kids coming out of our public education system and moving on to post-secondary institutions or real world success.

The terrific thing about school sports teams, music programs and clubs is that the outstanding individuals who run them teach students how to work together and problem solve for a common goal. It’s time the teachers and politicians learned the same lesson.

—Burnaby News Leader

Right decision not to call electionEconomy, conflict with municipal vote two reasons

Last Wednesday, Premier Christy Clark announced on the Global TV 6 p.m. newscast that

there would not be a fall election in B.C. It appears from her words that there won’t be an election until the fixed date in May, 2013.

Clark’s decision makes a great deal of sense, and not only for the reasons she outlined.

She cited ”instability” on the economic front, and suggested that elections in themselves bring on more instability. While there is some truth in the latter point, elections are also an essential element of democracy. The alternative, dictator-ship, is not one Canadians favour.

As for economic instability, she is correct that there is plenty of economic uncertainty, in B.C., across Canada, and in the world. Here in B.C., the pending death of the HST adds some insta-bility, simply because the tax favours business and investment. Business people always look for the best deal on taxes.

We also have housing prices that, in some parts of the Lower Mainland, require mortgages that consume 92 per cent of pre-tax income. This is completely unsustainable. We are either going to have a big drop in housing prices, or more and more people will become renters out of necessity.

Across Canada, while interest rates are low (one reason that house sales remain strong), job prospects and security are mixed. Canada has done quite well since the 2008 economic dip, partially because our banks are in good shape, partially because of lower government debt loads and partially because resource prices have stayed quite high. There is no guarantee that all

three factors will continue to go our way.

The world situation is well-known to us all. Many European countries have debt crises, and the U.S. is not far behind. In addition, U.S. housing prices continue to sink

and unemployment there is far too high. Con-sumer confidence in the U.S. is low.

Most B.C. residents would rather have Clark dealing with economic matters than plunging us into the third political campaign of the year.

Another reason that it makes no sense to have a provincial election is the conflict with munici-pal elections. These elections are on a three-year fixed timetable, and are vital for the proper governance of local matters. Here in Langley, we will have a hard-fought election for Township mayor and council, and possibly for the board of education. The Langley City contest is unlikely to be lively, but it too is important.

Perhaps the best reason not to have an elec-tion is to allow voters to assess the three main parties and their leaders over a longer period of time. Clark will be measured as to her perfor-mance as premier and leader of the BC Liberals. Adrian Dix will be weighed as to how he does in his role as leader of the NDP and leader of the opposition.

And John Cummins, who is new to provincial politics but well-known as a longtime MP, will be closely watched as he attempts to revive the BC Conservatives. All three have only held their cur-rent jobs for a few months, and we need more time to throughly check them out.

The election talk and backroom work can now stop, and the real work can get underway.

TransLink gives value on roads

Straight talk on tax burden is needed

Ferguson attempts to rewrite historyEditor: Councillor Steve Ferguson (The

Times, Sept. 1) attempts to revise recent Town-ship tax history. He lauds recently-departed councillor Jordan Bateman for his commitment to the bugetary process and their collective “diligent “ work as members of the finance task force.

Councillor Charlie Fox, in his recent announcement indicating his intention to stand for re-election as councillor, stated his commitment to hold tax increases to the rate of inflation. If I may, I would point out that these three charter members of the infamous Gang of Six (now five), and their colleagues,

were responsible for tax increases in the last two budgets of over twice the rate of infla-tion.

They fought the concept of a finance task force and staunchly rejected all of its recom-mendations. Ferguson stated at the time that staff budget requests were reasonable and justi-fied, because “they wouldn’t ask for the money if they didn’t need it.”

All of these councillors pursued the very costly, too early, too fast replacement of paid on-call firefighters. We now have a very expensive, well-equipped efficient full-time fire fighting system, over a large area with no

fire hydrants.This was a very costly cart before the horse

issue, at taxpayers’ expense.All of these councillors fiercely ignored

the loud support for reasonable and low tax increases. They legislated tax rates double the rate of inflation, ignoring the concerns of con-stituents.

The remaining Gang of Five can’t be allowed to revise history, as they cower in the glare of their record as we approach their replacement in the impending election.

Robert Moats,Langley

Editor: Even though we now have a decision from the voters of B.C. to scrap the HST, I won-der when or if we will ever hear any straight talk from our government about the tax burden on individual citizens. It seems there were two main reasons that the HST was defeated — first, because the electorate was extremely angry at the duplicitous methods used to bring it in, in the first place, and second, because we saw the shift of so much more of the tax burden on to the individual and less on the corporate enti-ties.

When the government was trying to sell the HST last year, they promised prices would drop on goods, offsetting the tax increases.

Talk about pricing reductions was noticeably

absent during the government’s recent ridicu-lously-biased campaign around the referendum — because of course those reductions never happened in the year we have been paying the additional taxes.

So now I expect the provincial government is going to blame all of its financial woes on the loss of the HST, and use that as an excuse to attack public sector workers, to cut services to citizens, and to defend their ever-increasing deficits.

It is long past time for an honest discus-sion in our province about the cost of the social services we so value, and an equita-ble means of paying for them. Adding con-sumption taxes to everything the govern-

ment can tie into creates an imbalance that means the average income earner is paying a much greater share, relative to income, of the overall burden than high earners and corporations. It doesn’t make sense in our economy, and is not what the electorate has asked for.

We have seen a decade of cuts to services in the midst of a good economy and yet an ever-increasing deficit. I thought these guys told us they could manage the economy — or is it just that they can manage the economy to benefit their friends, at the expense of the average tax-payer?

Michelle Laurie,Langley

Editor: Re: editorial — “A service we don’t use,”(The Times, Aug. 30).

Value for money, espe-cially when it comes to the taxes we pay, is and should be important. In that regard, we’d like to speak to the question your editorial raises about the value residents of Langley City and Township receive from taxes paid to TransLink.

Transit services in the South of Fraser, although still far behind where they need to be, have been improved substantially since TransLink took over the system in 1999. But TransLink is more than transit.

The funding we provide for major arterial roads have resulted in significant improvements for all road users — motorists, truck-ers and bus riders alike. This raises one additional factor

to look at in the ‘value for money’ equation.

Well over 50 per cent of Langley commuters leave their home municipality on their daily trips to work or school. Be it by bus or car, they are relying on roads along their route that TransLink funds and improves.

Considering the amount of the regional network resi-dents use, an independent study Langley commissioned about 10 years ago con-cluded that residents were getting their money’s worth from TransLink.

Although more is needed, there has been a great deal of effort and investment since then to deliver value to everyone south of the Fraser.

Editor: I am currently compiling my family tree and my research shows that I may have relatives in B.C.

I am trying to trace a woman called Ethel Diel (nee Handsaker) who, I understand, lives or has lived in Langley. She is a descendant of James How-ard Handsaker, who was born in England in approxi-mately 1831, and died in Australia in 1921.

James was my great-great-grandfather and his daugh-ter Sarah was my great-grandmother.

Sarah had a sister Eliza-beth, and I believe Ethel Diel is a descendant of Eliza-beth, although I am unsure in what context.

I also know that Ethel wrote a book about the Handsaker family, and I would really like to obtain a copy.

Sarah had another sis-ter, Maria Handsaker (also known as Mary Maria), who left England and settled in Victoria, B.C., where she died around 1944.

If anyone has information about Ethel Diel or Maria Handsaker, I would love to hear from you. Similarly, if anyone can advise me how I can obtain a copy of Ethel’s book, I would be grateful.

I would love to hear from anyone who may be related through James in any way, with a view to keeping in touch. My address is 72 Cumberland Road, Stapenhill, Burton Upon Trent, Staffordshire, England, DE1S 9JS.

Why then do we see watering at McLeod Athletic Park in the heat of the day? I don’t think that is water wise.

And it establishes a benchmark that shows such an extremely detailed assessment of wildlife is possible, Weatherstone adds.

“Our hope is that we could encourage inventories elsewhere in the Fraser Valley and B.C.”

Among other things, the inventory has found evidence the mountain beaver used to live in the area.

Reviving the mountain beaver (which is not really a beaver, but a rodent considered a living fossil by some researchers) is a perfect fit with the mission of Mountain View, a B.C. non-profit society which is out to save B.C. and Canadian wildlife from extinction by operating ‘breeding and return’ programs.

During the first year of counting, Puls estimates the Langley Field Naturalists identified “600-odd” species of flora and fauna.

The list has more than doubled since.During a recent visit with a Times reporter

in tow, Puls makes the rounds of the property, checking another insect trap, writing down bird types, examining mushrooms and other plants and taking close-ups photos of particularly interesting specimens.

“We have various different slugs,” he says, plucking one off a moss-encrusted tree trunk and holding it out for a picture.

“Charming little creatures.” It takes a good four to five

hours to walk the circumference of the property, but most visits take about two hours, Puls says.

As the count has progressed, he has photographed thousands of insects, including 165 different type of moths and butterflies

So far, the Langley Field Naturalists have listed 1,300 species of plants, insects and animals, including a more-than-expected 270 fungal and mushroom species.

One mushroom type has been sent out for DNA analysis because none of the exerts have been able to identify it

“We may have found a new species for B.C.” Puls says.

“We don’t know yet. We are hoping we have.”Generating a list of all the plants and lichen in

the 150 acres was a relatively painless task, Puls says.

But tallying the near-endless variety of beetles and flies has been “a nightmare”

Puls hopes the data from the study will help preserve other B.C. wilderness areas like the Langley property, which he says need to be maintained so wildlife can migrate without going through residential areas.

“They need to be protected.”He says the inventory is the

kind of initiative that can go on indefinitely because there will always be something new to discover.

“It will never be complete,” Puls says.

“It could go on forever. All in all, it’s just a wonderful wildlife project.”

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

With more than two laps to go around McLeod Athletic Park’s quarter mile track last Wednesday evening, Wes Barker already had an inkling that his attempt at breaking a Guinness World Record was on shaky ground.

The balance of his load — his longtime friend Kevin Kokoska — was off just enough to prevent Barker from getting his name in the famous book for the fastest one-mile fireman carry.

“At two and a half laps, I was so off balance, I almost put him down,” said Barker.

With a crowd cheering him on, he persisted, but as the finish line approached, it all became too much for him to handle.

“I carried him almost 14 minutes; I just couldn’t hold him any longer.”

With just 200 metres to go, Barker set the 6’5” Kokoska on the ground and reluctantly admitted defeat.

“There were a lot of people there and it was a lot louder than we thought it would be,” he said, explaining that he’d had difficulty hearing the shouts from the timer marking his progress.

But Barker’s not blaming the noise of the crowd for tripping him up.

“I think having that many people wasn’t really an issue — I think I might have got myself

too worked up,” he said.“Practice is easier, because

it’s quieter and I’m not overly hyped up. And in practice I can take as many tries as I want.”

Speaking the following morning about his narrowly failed attempt, Barker acknowledged he was a little afraid to watch the video of his effort.

“It was just this slow crumble,” said the 25-year-old professional magician and D.W. Poppy grad.

A former university basketball player who worked for two

years as a forestry firefighter, Barker had to drop from 220 to 195 pounds to match Kokoska’s weight. Guinness Record rules state that the person being carried must weigh at least as much as the person who is attempting the record.

So he upped his cardio training, hit the weight room and practised carrying his buddy until he felt ready to make an official attempt.

Barker estimated that about 200 people were at the track next to Langley Secondary

VIKKI HOPES Black Press

Make-A-Wish BC and a Langley bicycle company have provided new wheels to an Abbotsford teen battling cancer.

While Andrew Carson, 17, ini-tially requested a car, he was ecstatic to settle for the custom-ized mountain bike and body armour he received in August.

Carson’s new Intense Slope-style 2 mountain bike was unveiled during a presentation at Velocity Cycles in Fort Langley.

Carson, who is entering Grade 12 at Robert Bateman Secondary, was diagnosed with leukemia this spring after experiencing sudden flu-like symptoms.

He has been undergoing treatment ever since, and now receives chemotherapy every 10 days.

His family was approached by Make-A-Wish BC and told that he was eligible to have a wish granted. The teen considered his options.

“Most kids generally do trips, but all you get back from them is a memory. I thought I’d rather have something more perma-nent,” he said.

Carson’s initial request for a car was beyond the permitted budget, but his love for mountain

biking made it easy to come up with a second choice.

Carson has been taking on local trails and those at Whistler Mountain Bike Park since he was 14. He loves the exhilaration of heading over rough terrain on steep slopes, and said he’s

fortunate that he’s never had a serious spill.

When Carson was told his wish would be granted, he then scoured websites to put together a list of parts and features that would comprise his dream bike.

The bike was built at Velocity Cycle. It started with the basic frame, and manager Travis Peter-son said each component was then fully customized “to allow for greater control when travel-ling over varied terrain.”

“It’s the Lamborghini of moun-tain bikes,” he said.

Carson is now looking for-ward to trying out the bike on an upcoming family camping trip. Although his condition and treatment sometimes leaves him weak and tired, he still has his good days, too.

Funds for the bike were raised by the graduating class of Terry Fox Secondary in Port Coquitlam which collected $5,000 through-out the school year as their grad legacy project. The money was matched by the Kids Helping Kids Foundation.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Well-known Langley business person Byron Knelson died on Aug. 29, after a short battle and complications related to cancer. He was 80 years old.

Mr. Knelson’s company, known simply as Knelson, is based in Langley. He was well-known internationally for his invention and commercial development of the Knelson Concentrator, a cen-trifugal mineral separator that has revolutionized gold recovery. This machine has been a critical factor in development of many gold mines, at a time when gold prices have been on the rise.

According to the website mining.com, “the Knelson Concentrator has become a fixture in the world’s most prominent gold mines and the Knelson name is synonymous with gravity separa-tion.”

Mr. Knelson is also well-known for his charis-matic approach to life, business and customer service, and his sense of humour.

A celebration of his life will be held on Sept. 25, with the location to be announced at a later date. Donations in his memory can be made to Mining For Miracles, the B.C. mining industry’s fundrais-ing organization for B.C. Children’s Hospital. Knelson has been involved in raising funds for the hospital since 1995.

He is survived by his wife Bea, son Brett and daughter Sandra, and five grandchildren.

opinion

Bill Vander Zalm’s most fantastic claim after the defeat of the harmonized

sales tax was that B.C. could go back to the old provincial sales tax in six weeks if the govern-ment wanted to.

Remember, this is the guy who once figured he could run an election campaign out of his car. He also promised to cut the price of beer, and then once elected, brought in a prop-erty purchase tax instead, without consultation. But I digress.

Vander Zalm’s typi-cally simplistic analysis soon gave rise to another conspiracy theory. That’s the one that holds that the B.C. Liberals are dragging their feet on reinstating the old provincial sales tax so they can rake in added revenue for another 18 months. That would help repay the federal government $1.6 billion for the transition fund that helped B.C. institute the HST.

The finance ministry pro-vided some details to get a bet-ter sense of the task ahead. First, there are 70,000 businesses in B.C. that switched their account-ing and point-of-sale systems to the HST. It’s not likely that they kept notes, hardware and soft-ware on hand in anticipation of having to switch back.

Then there are the roughly 1,000 businesses that start up each month in B.C. Assuming most of that continues, by the time the federal and provincial governments undo the HST in March 2013, there will be thousands of businesses that

have no experi-ence dealing with the PST. They’re in for an unpleasant surprise.

Here’s one exam-ple. Smart Tax Alli-ance co-chair Mike Jagger got involved in the effort to defend the HST because of his experience running a secu-rity company in Vancouver. Due

to the ambiguous nature of the PST rules, he got expert advice on how to pay the tax. Three different experts gave him three different answers.

You have probably heard by now that after the rejection of the HST by 55 per cent of vot-ers, the PST is to be reinstated as it was before July 2010.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon vowed, “I can assure British Columbians PST will not be applied to such items as restaurant meals, bikes and gym memberships — just as it was before the HST was intro-duced in B.C.”

That sounds pretty definitive. But I’ve learned in the last two years that there is seldom a sim-ple answer with sales taxes.

For instance, should B.C. reduce tobacco taxes by seven per cent? Unless you’re a smoker, you probably didn’t notice that the HST raised the

price of cigarettes by that amount. Tobacco was PST-exempt, with the province histori-cally having cho-sen to impose a separate “sin tax”

instead.Liquor taxes also went down

under HST, from a 10-per-cent provincial tax to seven per

cent. The B.C. government increased the Liquor Dis-tribution Branch markup to hold onto the revenue, billing it as a policy move so as not to encourage drinking.

The hotel room tax also went down by a point

under HST. Should that be raised? These are policy deci-sions that still must be made, with the province still in deficit.

• A correction to last week’s column: I referred to a PST reduction for Toyota Prius hybrids, suggesting it would be restored.

In fact this tax break had a sunset clause, and would have expired in March 2011 in any case. B.C.’s 2008 “green budget” brought in a series of PST incen-tives for fuel-efficient vehicles, from $1,000 to $2,000 depend-ing on how carbon-efficient they were. PST exemptions were also extended to Energy Star appliances.

The centerpiece of that bud-get was the carbon tax.

The time it takes for food to pass from the mouth to the colon is quite interesting. From chewing to swallowing to the stomach takes about 2 minutes. The stomach keeps it four about 4 hours (longer if you’ve eaten fatty foods). The small intestine processes the food for about 6 hours and fi nally the large intestine (colon) will hold on to it for about 14 hours, extracting salts and water from the contents then pushes it to the rectum for elimination.

Head lice usually make their appearance around this time of year. Head lice like both dirty and clean hair so you or your child may have the best personal hygiene in the world and still get the little critters in your hair. There are some very good products on the market to treat the problem. Our pharmacists can help.

Dried fruits contain more sugar and fi bre than the equivalent amount of fresh fruit. If you are watching your calories, try to keep dried fruit portions down.

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in Canada. Ovarian cancer is the most serious of all gynecological cancers with over 2600 Canadian women diagnosed yearly and every year 1750 women succumb to the disease. There is no screening test for ovarian cancer yet but when found early and treated, the survival rate is 90%.

A work-to-rule campaign by teachers is being blamed for a six-month postponement of a cruise for graduating students at Langley Secondary School.

LSS delayed the cruise from Oct. 14 to April 4 after the B.C. Teachers Federation announced it will refuse any work not directly related to teaching in a classroom.

That includes all administrative tasks such as preparing report cards; attending staff meetings; arranging student assemblies and any supervision of students before and after school, at lunch hour and during recess.

Langley School District spokesperson Craig Spence said the delay will give LSS time to make sure the cruise can be safely run.

“It’s an event that requires a lot of organization and a lot of work and particularly a lot of supervision ... and the availability of teachers for supervision is not clear.”

Langley Teachers Association president Gail Chaddock-Costello sees no need to postpone the grad event.

“Surely one boat cruise could be organized,” Chaddock-Costello said.

“There should be no difficulty rustling up six administrators [to provide supervision]. I’m really surprised.”

It was not immediately clear if other school grads were being postponed.

School on Wednesday evening to cheer him on as he went after the existing record of 15 minutes and 11 seconds.

Some were folks he knew, who’d learned about the attempt from his announcement on Facebook, others just happened to be at the park.

“People were coming up to me that I’d never met, and saying how cool it was,” he said.

“It wasn’t even for a cause — just some goofball trying to break a world record.”

Barker checked out a few of the

existing Guinness records before deciding on the fireman carry.

“There are a lot of strange ones, like the most cucumbers snapped in half in a minute,” he said with a chuckle.

(That’s 75, by the way).

But he wanted to try something a bit “stunt-y and physical.”

Wednesday’s attempt was Barker’s first, but by no means his last shot at the record.

“I put in six months of effort. I

have to try again,” he said, adding he’ll take at at least another month to recover and prepare.

“It’s the most pain I’ve ever been in,” he said.

Barker also gives a lot of credit to Kokoska who, three days earlier, had completed a gruelling 12-and-a-half hour Iron Man triathlon.

To then allow someone to carry him, slung over their

shoulder, for 14 minutes is no small thing, Barker said.

“You should see the bruises he gets.”Still, Kokoska is game to give it

another try.“He said, ‘I don’t want you to, but

I’ll let you.’”There are a few things Barker

plans to do differently on his second attempt. For example, he’d like to have the time put up on the score clock so he can monitor his progress; he’ll make sure he’s more focused and, in the meantime, he’ll continue to work on building his strength and endurance.

“Next time, he said, “there will be nothing stopping me.”

EDUCATIONAs reported in The Globe and Mail 2011

Canadian University Report – surveying the opinions of more than 35,000 cur-rent undergraduates – students gave Trin-ity Western University an A+ in principal categories: Quality of Education, Student-Faculty Interaction, Class Size and overall Atmosphere. This is the fifth consecutive A+ Trinity Western has received for quality of education, something no other Canadian university has achieved.

ATHLETIC OPPORTUNITYAs official members of Canadian Inter-

university Sport (CIS), TWU competes in the Canada West division of the CIS in six team sports – women’s and men’s soccer, volleyball and basketball – and six individual sports -- women’s and men’s cross-country, track and field and swimming. Trinity Western’s men’s hockey team plays in the BCIHL.

ATHLETICS EXCELLENCEDuring the 2010-11 season, five of TWU’s six original sports were, at

some point in the year, ranked in the top four in Canada: women’s soc-cer No. 1 (Sept. 21), women’s volleyball No. 1 ( Jan. 25), men’s soccer No. 3 (Sept. 7), men’s volleyball No. 3 ( Jan 18) and men’s basketball No.4 (March 1).

Since TWU entered the CIS in 1999, Spartan student-athletes have accumulated a number of significant awards including a CIS Athlete of the Year (BLG) award, four CIS Player of the Year awards, a CIS Elite Eight Academic All-Canadian award, three CIS Rookie of the Year awards, a CIS Libero of the Year award, three CIS community service awards and numerous CIS All-Canadian and Canada West All-Star awards. The Spar-tans have won five national titles (women’s soccer in 2004, 2008, 2009 and men’s volleyball in 2006 and 2010), 15 CIS championship team medals, an individual CIS championship in track and seven CW championships.

REPRESENTING CANADADuring TWU’s history in the CIS many

Spartans student-athletes have represented Canada on the world stage. This past season TWU had seven student-athletes wearing red and white at the FISU games, three at a world junior championship and one at a world senior championship. Over the past five years TWU has had members of men’s and women’s soccer, basketball and volleyball all representing Canada.

TOURING THE WORLDPart of the Spartans culture is to impact

the world and to do this TWU student-athletes have gone on numerous missions and humanitarian trips around the globe

including, in the last three years, travelling to countries such as Russia, Benin, South Africa, China, Paraguay and Italy.

WHOLE PERSON PERSPECTIVEThe Complete Champion Approach™ helps Spartan Student-Athletes

become champions in all areas of their lives. This program seeks to address the whole person (spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, and social). The Complete Champion Approach™ is designed to help student ath-letes use their God-given talents and intellect to live a life of significance, experience true personal success and to powerfully influence their families and their community.

EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITYTrinity Western University, in Langley, B.C., is an independent

Christian liberal arts and sciences university enrolling approximately 4000 students. TWU offers 41 undergraduate majors and 17 graduate degree programs. For more information, visit TWU’s Official Athlet-ics site at: www.gospartans.ca.

When jumping into the world of social media, most business own-ers have one intention in mind: sell, sell, sell…and for a good reason! The world of social media is a great place to reach out, to increase your market, and to develop relationships with new and existing customers. However, this is not the place for direct sales; to succeed in social media you must be authentic and provide value to the online community. Sometimes though, this is easier said than done; so here are five tips to help you succeed in social media.1. Show off your expertise

There are two main reasons why people will pay attention to you on social media: · They care about your company/service/product/industry; or · They want to know more about your company/service/product/industry. This is a great opportunity to indulge your potential clients’ interests by showing off your expertise about your product or service and the industry as a whole. Social media is about knowledge sharing and by doing just that you will help build trust in your company while show-ing others the value in your business. You will also be creating brand awareness. 2. Be the face of the business

You’ve started a business and built it up to what it is today; every aspect of the business is a reflection of you and your online profile is no different. People want to get to know the person responsible for the business, so having someone else tweeting and responding to Facebook posts on your behalf will only hurt your reputation. Your customers can tell if you’re not being authentic and representing your own beliefs and ideas. 3. Give and take

Most experts will suggest spending time observing social media before jumping right in; this will help you get to know the lay of the

land so you understand what’s effective and what’s not before you start posting updates. But once you do start participating, it’s important

to not just fire messages out there, but to manage a fine balance of give and take. You can do so by continually searching for conversations about your company and com-menting on what they have to say, especially if it’s nega-tive. Always respond as quickly as possible to questions or comments that are directed at you and your business. Be sure to search out loyal customers online and thank them for their patronage. And you can also reward your follow-

ers by offering discounts, or first access to a new product or service to those who follow your social media accounts. 4. Build a community

There is nothing that brings people together like a common goal, interest or cause, and social media is a fantastic way build that com-munity. If you’re a photographer, start a LinkedIn Group to talk about specialized photography techniques and a Flickr account to share pho-tos. If you own an event planning company, start a blog and post video clips while encouraging others to also share their event planning tips and videos of their successful parties. By using social media to bring together a group of people with common area of interest, you and your business will receive recognition while establishing yourself as a trusted source for information. 5. Once you start, don’t stop

Before jumping online and setting up a Twitter account or a Face-book page for your business, think very strategically about what you want to do with social media, if managing it is realistic, and whether the benefits will outweigh the time it will take up. Getting on social media is like a marriage, and you need to think about whether this is something you want to get into a relationship with long term. Custom-ers can lose trust in your business if, down the road, you decide to close you account or if you get busy and just stop making updates so make sure you are ready to commit.

Still new to the Wonderful World of Social Media?5 Tips for Being Authentic in Social Media

Re-printed from Small Business BC

Honouring the one who contributes the most towards unification or bringing together education, business and citizens to make a difference in the community.

Since 1980, the Chamber of Commerce has offered the HD Stafford Good Citizen of the Year Award to a deserving resident of the Langley area to thank them and recognize their outstanding contribution to the community. This award honours the

memory of the late Harold Stafford who epitomized what a good citizen should be. Mr. Stafford dedicated an enormous amount of time and effort, and worked relentlessly on new initiatives to make Langley a better place to live and conduct business. Whatever project or cause Harold Stafford became involved in, he attacked it with admirable tenacity and would not let it go until he had seen the project through to

a successful and meaningful completion. The HD Stafford Good Citizen of the

Year Award will be presented at the Cham-ber’s General Dinner Meeting on Tuesday, December 13, 2011.

Nominations close Friday, November 25, 2011. Nomination forms are available by contacting the Chamber office at 604-530-6656 or [email protected]

DEALING WITH THE TOUGH STUFF!How to deliver results from critical conversations

Wednesday, September 28, 2011Speakers: Dr. Sean Richardson (www.seanorichardson.com.au)

and Joe Roberts (www.skidrowceo.com)

Find out how to not only survive the tough conversations, but to thrive within them, leading to more productive performance discussions and sub-stantially less conflict.

Recent research shows feedback discussions are the least enjoyed manage-ment task second only to firing someone. (source: Gallup)

So how have we got to this point? How has having a direct, real and nec-essary conversation with staff, clients or suppliers become so hard? In a nutshell, we have been shown processes without considering the human element in the discussion.

• de-personalize tough feedback• uncover some root causes of difficult behaviour• craft behaviour modification strategies• avoid the language that causes conflict• help you get clear with your requests• show you the best way to be assertive in any situationWho should attend?• Managers and Supervisors• Human Resource Staff

Have you considered providing products or services to the Govern-ment of Canada? Chances are you if you have thought about it, you have dismissed it thinking that your business is not relevant to the gov-ernment, however most of the time this assumption is wrong.Types of Goods and Services

Due to the wide and varied nature of work which government employees perform – from RCMP officers to armed forces, from street cleaners to administration staff – the Government of Canada purchases a wide variety of goods and services every year.

With the help of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), the government’s common service provider and main purchaser, the federal government spends approximately $15 billion a year on goods and services ranging from airplanes to paperclips, as well as a wide variety of services. How to Start Working with the Government

Now that you know that you can work with the government, where should you start?

Buyandsell.com is the government’s new user friendly procurement web-site which pulls together opportunities from Contracts Canada andPWGSC. The site’s content is based on a five-step process with detailed guides and video to help you understand the steps for doing business with the govern-ment. The site is the main location to find information about doing busi-ness with the Government of Canada.

Once you have registered to become a government supplier via the Buy and Sell website, it is essential that you proactively promote your business as a supplier. Let them know what goods and services you have and why you should be their supplier. Learn about how to promote your business and find government contacts using Buy and Sell’s Promote Yourself page.Need Some Help?

The Office of Small and Medium Enterprise’s (OSME) is dedicated to helping small businesses successfully compete for government business by working to reduce barriers and simplify requirements.

For help understanding the government’s procurement process including identifying opportunities and how to bid for government business opportu-nities contact your local OSME office:

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

‘If it’s in you, it’s in you.”That’s how Langley painter

Vivian Harder sums up the impulse that drives an artist to

create.For her part, Harder — now an

established equestrian artist and co-organizer of the third annual Langley Artists Studio Tour — was bitten early by the bug.

She sold her first painting at 14 years old, although at the time her knowledge of art terminology was still in its infancy.

“I was doing photo realism and I didn’t know it,” laughs Harder, seated in the garden of bead artist Stephanie Dieleman’s bucolic Otter area home.

Dieleman’s property will be among the more than 20 stops on a route mapped out by the tour’s co-organizers Harder and Deborah Strong.

Winding through the Langley countryside, the tour will feature 18 private studios and several “stops of interest,” — including wineries, farm gate stores and an art gallery — where over two weekends this autumn, 43 artists will make themselves available to talk to visitors about their inspiration and process.

Taking part for the second time, will be oil painter Tas Antonopoulos, whose participation last year resulted in the artist’s very first sale.

“The recognition he got through the

tour is exactly what we wanted,” said Harder.

Whether he’s making money from his art or not, it an all-consuming passion for Antonopoulos, who takes a painterly approach to his favourite subjects — local landscapes, bird life and marine scenes.

The sight of every new landscape conjures up the same question: “How would I paint that?”

“If you stop, you get depressed. You’re always looking at things and thinking about painting them,” he said.

“You lay up at night thinking about it,” agreed Danielle Mlinartisch, who will participate for the first time in this year’s tour.

Mlinartisch, who took up a brush during maternity leave from her job as a nurse, saw the call for artists and thought, ‘Why not?’

“I’m kind of out there. I like to take risks,” she said.

“It’s (the tour) something I’ve always

wanted to do, and I thought the worst they can say is ‘no, thank you.’”

While they did have to jury out a couple of people who applied, both Harder and Strong are happy with the response they got, including an application from Dieleman to demonstrate bead making.

“I first heard about the tour at an art show at Thunderbird, and then saw it in the paper,” Dieleman said.

“It’s in my hometown and I want to be part of things that are local.”

Unlike Dieleman, not every artist whose work meets the standards the two organizers have set, has a suitable studio for the tour, noted Strong.

That means many will be doubling and tripling up at private studios, while the Windsong co-housing development in Walnut Grove and Fields & Flowers farm gate store in south Langley, will each host six artists.

When the lead singer of Devil’s Tower starts throwing blood from the stage in Lang-ley on Saturday night, it won’t be a tribute to the dark one, he insists.

Despite what the band’s growing fan base in Europe seems to believe, the Fraser Valley-based metal band is not about Satan worship, laughs James Buhs.

In actual fact, they’re named after the Devil’s Tower national monument in Wyo-ming — the same one Steven Spielberg used as an alien landing pad in Close Encoun-ters of the Third Kind.

Buhs describes the group — made up of himself, drum-mer Scott Aquino, lead guitar-ist P.J. and bassist Kenny — as a progressive metal band, which means the music is more intricate, more melodic than straight up metal, he says.

But don’t confuse it with elevator music.

“It’s about aggressive music — stage presence, an assault on the senses,” he says, throw-ing out terms like “speed, pre-cision and crunchy riffs.”

And the band’s singer-song-writer-promoter who, like his drummer, hails from Langley, freely admits he loves the the-atrics of the metal genre — the leather and make up, the

fake blood that he’s not above tossing on the crowd.

And if he doesn’t feel like they’re paying close enough attention, well, there are always a couple of pitchers of ice water on the stage as well.

This weekend brings another chance to get drenched in fake blood and cold water, when Devil’s Tow-er’s is in concert — along with Surrey bands Entropia and Iron Kingdom — during a metal night at The Trouba-dour Club on 203 Street and

Industrial Avenue. They’ll be shooting a video the same night.

The band formed in Maple Ridge about 10 years ago. After releasing their first CD in 2002, they took a long hiatus. After getting back together, they quickly climbed 201 to 16 on Reverbnation for most listened to metal band in Vancouver.

Devil’s Tower also came first in a Vancouver battle of the bands, beating out 68 other acts, then went on to

take second place out of 650 acts between B.C. and Alberta — the first metal band to reach that level, said Buhs.

But with song titles like Blood Addiction, Rapehound and Dead Friends, the singer admits his style of music isn’t for everyone.

“The idea of metal kind of leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths,” he said.

So it’s important, he said, to maintain a good relationship with the community.

With that in mind, the band will have a booth at Cruise-In, earlier on the day of their concert.

They’ll sell the usual swag — T-shirts and bootie shorts, stickers and CDs — but they’ll also collect non-perish-able food items for the food bank and sell hotdogs and water by donation. Part pro-ceeds from food and water sales will go to the Vision Quest Recovery Society, which has a house for recov-ering addicts in Langley.

The rest will help pay for the band to record their next album.

Buhs is hoping the massive crowds that will be in town for the annual Cruise-In will translate into a sellout that night at the club.

For more, go to reverbna-tion.com/devilstower.

You got legs? You know how to use ’em?

Then plan to wander on over to the Summit Theatre inside the Cas-cades Casino on Friday, Sept. 9.

That’s when Fan-dangozz — a tribute

to ZZ Top — will be there to help kick off the busiest weekend of the year in downtown Langley.

The annual Langley Good Times Cruise-In rolls into town on Saturday, Sept. 10, but the trip down memory lane starts the night before, when Digger as “Billy” on guitar, JD as “Dusty,” on bass and Satch as “Frank” on drums, play all the ZZ Top hits — includ-ing Gimme All Your Lovin’, Sharp Dressed Man and Legs — that made them one of the hottest acts of the ’80s.

Tickets are $20 at www.ticketweb.ca and casino guest services, 20393 Fraser Hwy. Call 604-530-2211. Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m.

The Langley Players will hold auditions next week for their winter production Victoria’s House.

It’s not a whodunnit, but there is murder and there is mystery in this drama written by Fred Carmichael.

Set on the British coastline in the early 1900s, Victoria’s House tells the story of Neil Bannister, who kills his young wife and thinks he has committed the per-fect crime, but is soon haunted

by supernatural phenomena that are beyond his understanding.

Auditions will be held Sunday, Sept. 11, at 2 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 15, at 7 p.m. at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 St.

Directed by Angela Bell, rehearsals begin in September and the play will run from Jan. 19 to Feb. 18, 2012, with a possible holdover from Feb. 23-25.

It started out as a Langley-only event two years ago, but the tour has since expanded to include a number of out of town guests from Surrey and other Lower Mainland communities.

“It’s nice to have artists from out of the area. It adds variety,” said Strong.

In addition to painters and bead makers, the tour will feature

potters, sculptors, photographers, glassblowers, printmakers and fibre artists among its participants.

And though it doesn’t exactly fit the tour’s parameters, members of the Fort Gallery, an artist-run co-operative in Fort Langley, were eager to take part, too, so Harder and Strong penciled them.

For some visitors it will be enough to watch and listen, but for those who want to dig in

and test the limits of their own creativity, several artists will once again be offering mini workshops.

The 30-minute sessions were such a hit last year there was no question they’d be back, said Strong, who will once again offer lessons in painting on small silk squares.

What’s great about her medium, said the artist (who also

specializes in animal portraits) is that regardless of a person’s skill level, they will get a result that is pleasing to the eye.

The first Langley Artist Studio Tour was held in November, 2009, with the idea that it would be an ideal pre-Christmas event.

The following year, however, organizers decided to move it to September in the hope

of getting better weather.“September is a beautiful

time in the valley, and it ties in perfectly with the federal Culture Days,” said Strong.

The tour will take place on Sept. 24-25 and Oct. 1-2, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

Maps are now available for downloading from the website at www.langleyartstudiotour.ca.

Profiles of participating artists can also be viewed on the website.

Shortly after they first began playing box lacrosse, Kyle Belton and Sean Messenger learned quickly about the Mann Cup.

“That is what everyone talks about,” Messenger said. “It is the goal to get to in Canada.”

“I idolized guys like John Grant Jr.” added Belton, about the four-time Mann Cup winner who also plays professionally in the National Lacrosse League and the Major Lacrosse League.

“They were getting rings,” Belton said. “I heard about the Mann Cup and what it was all about.”

Since 1910, the Mann Cup has been presented to the top senior A men’s lacrosse team in Canada. It pits the winner of the Western Lacrosse Association (B.C.) against the Ontario champions (Major Series Lacrosse).

Belton and Messenger began playing at an early age.

Belton, 24, recalled picking up his first lacrosse stick at age four and his family having to pry the stick out of his hands.

He was introduced to the sport by his dad, Cal, a former player who also coached him.

Messenger, 23, followed his older brother into the game.

Both Belton and Messenger graduated through the ranks of the Langley Minor Lacrosse Association, playing on the

same team every two years because of their one-year age difference.

In 2004, they were teammates on a Langley squad which won the midget provincial championship.

But now, seven years later, the pair have their sights set on winning a Mann Cup as members of their hometown team, the Langley Thunder.

What makes it even more special is the fact the best-of-seven series will be played

at the Langley Events Centre. (It alternates yearly between B.C. and Ontario).

“It is really exciting to play the Mann Cup at home,” Messenger said. “It is great,

all our friends and family are going to come out and fill the stadium.

“We feed off the bigger crowds.”

“Playing in front of your home crowd, you can’t beat it,” Belton added. “Tons of family and friends will be coming out, so it will be a neat experience.”

The Thunder have proved outstanding on their home floor. They went 7-2 at the Langley Events Centre during the regular season and are a perfect 5-0 at home in the post-season.

Once they were done their respective minor lacrosse eligibility, both players graduated to junior.

Messenger played for the Langley Jr. Thunder and the Delta Jr. Islanders.

Belton, who also played rep hockey through minor, chose lacrosse — he was more passionate about the sport — and joined the New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies and helped the storied organization advance to the

Minto Cup, the Canadian junior A championship.

Unfortunately, his team lost in the semifinals. He does not want to experience that feeling again.

“You can ask any kid who plays lacrosse, the Minto Cup and the Mann Cup are a dream,” Belton said. “I was honoured enough to play for a Minto back in the day and ... now I have the opportunity to get the Mann Cup and it is a privilege”

“Being where we are is a pretty incredible feeling,” he added.

Following the Mann Cup, Belton will head back to New York’s Stony Brook University, where he is a senior and on a field lacrosse scholarship.

Messenger will begin training for Langley Rugby Club’s season.

While the Brampton Excelsiors celebrate their centennial season in 2012, the Langley Thunder have only been in existence since 1994.

The Thunder, who play in the seven-team Western Lacrosse Association, came into the league as the North Shore Indians.

The team moved to the Okanagan for 2000 and 2001 as the Thunder, before going back to the North Shore in 2002 but keeping the Thunder name.

They moved to Langley in 2004.

The Excelsiors were formed in 1912 and in their 99-year history — although they did not compete for 13 years spread out in that span — they have captured 23 league titles and 10 Mann Cups.

They most recently won back-to-back Mann Cup championships in 2008 and 2009.

Brampton plays in the six-team Major Series Lacrosse in Ontario.

The series alternates between B.C. and Ontario.

The 2011 Mann Cup will be played at the Langley Events Centre.

Games one and two are Wednesday (Sept. 7) and Thursday (Sept.8) with games three and four on Saturday and Sunday (Sept. 10 and 11).

If necessary, games five, six and seven will be Sept. 12, 14 and 15.

All start at 7:45 p.m.For daily recaps, visit

It was a Langley sweep of the podium at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) stop at Hazel-mere Golf Club last week (Aug. 29-30).

Ryan Saran, Callum Robinson and Dylan Reichelt finished one-two-three at the two-day event at their home golf club in the boys’ 17-19 division.

Saran, 19, won by two strokes with a 36-hole score 5-over-par 149.

Robinson, 17, and the 18-year-old Reichelt were two and four strokes, back, respectively.

Jesse Reichelt, 18, and Tyler Roope, 17, were eighth and 11th, respectively. Both also golf out of Hazelmere.

In the boys’ 13 and under division, Redwoods Golf Course’s Jae Wook Lee, 12, won by a single stroke with a 1-over-par 145.

Another Redwoods golfer, Jackson Trozzo, 12, was ninth.

In the boys’ 14-16 division, 14-year-old Cole Briggs (Redwoods) was tied for seventh, and in the girls’ division, 14-year-old Kathy Hyunchae-Lim (Redwoods) was sixth.

The summer of 2011 will be one they will likely never forget.

Those are the feelings of Colby Ring.

“It has been a good ride for us,” said Ring, speaking on behalf of his teammates.

“We are going to look back at this when we are older and say, ‘Wow, that is unbelievable.’

“It is every kid’s dream to go to the World Series.”

Ring and his Langley All-Stars teammates were honoured last week (Sept. 1) at City Park.

The team of 11, 12 and 13-year-olds represented Canada at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. in late August. They are just the second team from Langley Baseball ever to do so.

“Everything stands out, but the most is Chinese Taipei,” Ring said. “That is the first time Canada has ever beat them.”

The victory was a huge upset as Canada was 0-16 life-time against Chinese Taipei.

Canada went 2-2 at the tournament, being eliminated by Japan. Japan won the International Division and lost to California in the World Series final.

On hand at the celebration were City Mayor Peter Fassbender and Township Mayor Rick Green, Minister of Sport Ida Chong, MP Mark Warawa, councillors for both the City and Township, Tourism

Langley and Linda Hansen, the District 3 baseball administrator.

MLA Mary Polak was represented by her assistant.

All raved about just how proud they were of the team.

“I see what sport does not only for the community, but for the individual,” Chong said. “It brings people together.”

“You were all dignitaries when you were at the World Series,” Warawa said. “You represented our community and country (and) you did it with honour, with hard work.

“You would not have gotten as far as you did without working together as a team.

“That is one of those life lessons that Minister Chong spoke about.

“This is a memory that will be with you for the rest of your life.”

The mayors unveiled a Canadian championship banner behind home plate and the team has been invited to attend the Township council meeting on Sept. 19, where they will receive certificates.

The team’s coaching staff raved about the players’ dedication, spending virtually every day on the ball diamond since the middle of June.

Not many kids their age would consent to having pasta and veggies every night for dinner and giving up all of their free time.

“We pushed them hard ... and they grew,” said coach Jason Andrew.

“The coaching staff couldn’t

be more proud. They did a fantastic job.”

“It has been a roller coaster ride,” he added. “We had our ups and downs and the team has managed to get through our downs and grow as a team.

“That kind of sums it up: this team was solid and never gave up.”

The losses — Langley lost games along the way at districts, provincials and nationals before bouncing back — tested the team’s response to adversity.

“The negative downswings of some of those losses and adversity made this team stronger and to the point they came fifth in the world and beat Chinese Taipei,” Andrew said. “Without that adversity, I don’t think they would have done that (but) they learned from their mistakes.”

Team manager Dean Cantelon was amazed at the team’s maturity and effort all summer.

“You couldn’t imagine the tension and pressure that was put on these boys once we put on the Team Canada jersey,” he said.

“I couldn’t be more proud of the boys as to how they handled themselves during the event.

“It truly has been an honour to be a part of this team and there are memories and experiences that I will never forget.”

Cantelon also made sure to thank the players’ parents and siblings.

“They made a lot of sacrifices to support the boys all the way to the World Series,” he said.

“To the parents, thanks for lending us your kids and giving us your summer.”
