Air quality began to improve despite smoke-filled skies.

MATTHEW [email protected]

The sky above Langley was covered with a yellow-grey cloud of smoke starting Sunday night, as wildfires burning across B.C. blotted out the sun.

Metro Vancouver issued an Air Quality Advisory for the region because of high concen-trations of fine particulate mat-ter, starting Sunday.

On Monday, the smoke left the sun as a yellowish-orange ball in the sky for much of the day, and local air quality was well outside normal levels.

Metro Vancouver warned that people with chronic underlying medical conditions should post-pone strenuous exercise until the advisory is lifted.

Staying indoors in air condi-tioned spaces helps to reduce exposure.

Fraser Health recommends seeking medical attention if people experience difficulty breathing or wheezing.

People most at risk are those with heart or lung conditions, the elderly, and infants.

“We have seen an increase in respiratory issues coming into emergency departments across the region,” said Tasleem Juma, a Fraser Health spokesperson.

However, it can’t be said definitively if that’s linked to the smoke hanging in the air,

Juma said.Real time air quality readings

can be found at www.airmap.ca and www.bcairquality.ca.

According to airmap.ca, on Monday, fine particulate matter, known as PM 2.5, was at 68.4 micrograms per cubic metre, up from less than 10 on Sunday, July 5.

However, levels dropped sharply by Tuesday mor-ning, as the haze of smoke thinned out. By 9:30 a.m., the PM 2.5 reading in Langley was down to 11.7, barely above the typical levels seen over the last week.

Larger particles, PM 10, were at 75.8 micrograms Monday, up from less than 15 a day pre-viously. They also dropped, to 24.3, by Tuesday morning.

Fine particulate matter, PM 2.5, easily penetrate indoors

because of their small size, accord-ing to Metro Vancouver.

Fraser Health and Metro Vancouver both recom-mend staying cool and

drinking of water, managing conditions such as asthma or COPD.

For those with medical conditions, staying in a cool,

air-conditioned environment and reducing indoor sources of pollution such as smoking and vacuuming was recom-mended. Using HEPA air fil-ters could also help. For those without their own filters or air conditioning, going to an air conditioned building was rec-ommended.

B.C. ablazeThe dry weather also means

that there have been plenty of fires in Langley, particularly in the more rural Township.

“We’ve been really busy to say the least,” said assistant fire chief Pat Walker.

From June 1 to July 7, the department responded to 722 calls. Of those, 91 were brush fires, including two Tuesday morning. Just eight were fires in homes or other buildings.

TARA CARMANSpecial to the Langley Advance

Cooking grease and wet wipes in the sewer system cost Metro Vancouver and its municipalities like Langley about $2.25 million a year.

Grease is by far the more expensive problem, costing about $2 million a year, said Jeff Gogol, an environment-al regulatory planner with

Metro Vancouver’s liquid waste services division. “It’s like a clogged artery. It binds to the walls of the pipe, so that it gets smaller and smaller, and you can’t get as much sewage through. What we’re worried about is that it can back up into people’s homes, which is not nice, or it can overflow out of manholes or into parks.”

Metro Vancouver will launch an awareness campaign in

certain neighbourhoods and measure if it reduces grease and wipes in sewers. If successful, the campaigns will be rolled out across the region.

There are seven depots that accept cooking oil, including one in Langley. Metrovancouverrecycles.org has a list of locations.

Langley and Metro Vancouver voted no on the TransLink tax.


Langley’s mayors will be meeting with Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner to talk about what happens next in the wake of the No vote on the TransLink plebiscite.

City Mayor Ted Schaffer said the meeting will be to get an update on what Surrey is thinking in the wake of the vote.

Surrey officials have talked about moving forward with some transit projects even if the referendum failed.

“If we work together, maybe there is another opportunity of some kind,” Schaffer said.

Township Mayor Jack Froese said that no one really knows what’s going to happen in the wake of the rejected sales tax increase. The tax increase would have raised about $250 million annually.

“We really are at a loss to find another funding source that’s acceptable,” said Froese.

Most mayors have ruled out property tax hikes, the only method they can impose easily

without provincial interven-tion.

Froese said the governance has to change at TransLink. The system is too complicated, with the Mayors’ Council, a board, and management, Froese said.

Last week, Metro Vancouver voters rejected the proposed 0.5 per cent sales tax increase to fund expanded TransLink bus and rail service. Voters were 61.68 per cent opposed to 38.32 per cent in favour.

In Langley, the results were even more opposed, with City residents voting 72.29 per cent opposed and Township

residents 74.97 per cent opposed.

The projects proposed by the TransLink Mayors’ Council would have included a new light rail link connecting from the existing Surrey

SkyTrain network down Fraser Highway to Langley City.

More B-line style buses, with high frequencies, would have been added to Langley and Surrey. Increased bus service in general to Brookswood and Willoughby was planned.

The plan also called for a subway along Vancouver’s Broadway corridor.

The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce was the only board of trade in the Lower Mainland to oppose the plan. There were fears that the tax increase would drive local

residents to shop in Abbotsford or the United States, and that there wasn’t enough in the plan for Langley, said chamber president Scott Johnston.

“It’s a pretty definitive result,” said Johnston.

The chamber took quite a bit of “abuse” in recent months, Johnston said. But they were hearing fears from small busi-ness owners about business bleeding away while there was little or nothing in the plan for most areas of Langley, he said. It would have been more than a decade before the light rail line reached Langley, he said.

“Even those on the No side like myself agree we need more transportation services,” Johnston said. This was just the wrong funding model, and a better one is needed, he said.

The chamber has suggested road pricing, which could mean spreading out tolls among all the bridges and tun-nels in the Metro Vancouver area, rather than just having tolls on new bridges. Local mayors have also suggested road pricing as an alternative in the past.

Groups of transit users like the HandyDART Riders Alliance were upset at the failure of the vote. Increasing HandyDART service was part of the planned spending with the new funds; TransLink has frozen HandyDART increases for six years, resulting in more and more disabled riders being unable to access the point-to-point service.

Mayors meet in wake of No vote


Provincial money will be spent to prevent physical and financial abuse of seniors.


The provincial government is putting $2.6 million into elder abuse prevention, with the efforts headed up by a Langley woman.

On June18, Daryl Plecas, par-liamentary secretary for seniors, announced the funding for the B.C. Association of Community Response Networks (BCCRN).

The group works with numer-ous local agencies to help prevent elder abuse and educate the pub-lic.

“It’s a huge amount of money, but it’s a huge province,” said Sherry Baker, executive director of BCCRN.

Baker is also a member of Langley Township’s Seniors Advisory Committee.

The association works with everyone from police to Fraser Health, she said.

Their mandate is to try to inter-vene before there is abuse or neg-lect, and to work on education to stop it from happening at all.

According to Plecas, an esti-mated four to 10 per cent of all seniors could experience neglect or abuse, whether physical, emo-tional, financial, or sexual.

Elder abuse is significantly under-reported, noted Plecas.

Leanne Lange, an elder abuse specialist with Fraser Health, said that getting people to talk about elder abuse can be difficult.

“It’s uncomfortable and it can be upsetting,” she said.

She recalled a recent case in which her office got a call about an elderly man who had been dropped off by his family at a small trailer, apparently to live by himself.

When Fraser Health workers arrived, they found he had no phone, medicine, or money. He had difficulty getting out of the trailer, but the only toilet was an outhouse.

Because he had health prob-lems, he was taken to a hospital, and after he was given medical and social support there, he was transitioned into an assisted living facility.

The announcement came following World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

Plecas noted that there are approximately 750,000 seniors in B.C., and that number is expected to double in the next 20 years.

While most live independently, the goal of funding like this is to end elder abuse.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then

quiet sounds are no longer naturally amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

good solution for most people.

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a demonstration to see whether they notice an improvement.

Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

A resident of Langley Lodge was feted at a June 30 gathering.

HEATHER [email protected]

Muir Adair spent June 6, 1944, on Omaha Beach, fighting to survive during the D-Day invasion.

The invasion turned the Second World War in the Allied favour but took a heavy toll of killed and injured.

A member of a special Allied military unit for water assaults, Adair landed on Omaha Beach, attached to the first American Ranger assault troops.

They landed during low tide and the landing vehicles became stuck on sand bars in deep sand and mud.

Adair swam to shore under fire and found himself sur-rounded on land by many casual-ties. Of the 64 in his complement, 47 were killed or wounded.

Adair’s feats during wartime earned him France’s admir-ation and the highest honour it can bestow. The nation recently awarded him the Legion of Honour (Légion d’hon-neur). At a special presentation June 30 at Langley Lodge, where he lives, MP Mark Warawa presented accolades.

“You just do what you have to do,” was Adair’s response at the event.

He noted he was one of the many young men who went over-seas during the war and simply got on with the job.

During the bombardment of Omaha Beach, he found a mother and her two chil-dren in a trench. He shared some of his chocolate ration and found someone in his unit who spoke French to watch over them.

Langley, at the City, Township and federal levels, also honoured Adair at the spe-

cial ceremony.

“He’s a humble man who did extraordinary things,” said Township Mayor Jack Froese.

After getting off the beach, Adair and his unit made their way through barbed wire to the bluffs, clearing trenches as they went. They regrouped the next day and had a mobile base set up by June 8.

Adair had joined the Royal Air Force in 1941 and was assigned to the radar section. He built and maintained radar installations throughout the United Kingdom.

In 1943 he joined a special-ized unit for water assaults.

After D-Day, he spent July to September 1944 pushing toward Paris and entered the City two days before Paris fell to the Germans. He escaped through the sewers with the help of the French Resistance.

Adair has earned the Croix de Guerre, the Defense of Britain Star, the Liberation of France, and other medals.

The man accused of killing three women “can be shy” his online profile says.

JENNIFER SALTMANSpecial to the Langley Advance

Several men with high-profile mur-der convictions have posted profiles on a Canadian inmate pen-pal website, including a Langley man.

The Province compiled a list of inmates who committed homicides or homicide-related crimes in B.C. and

have profiles on Canadian Inmates Connect, a site established by an Ontario woman in January 2012 to “help isolated inmates reconnect to the outside world and work toward a better life.”

One of those is Davey Mato Butorac, from Aldergrove who is con-victed of second-degree murder.

From his profile: “I am very creative and I like music, drawing and lifting weights. I like to stay in

shape and eat healthy. I can be shy at times.”

Background: In April, a jury found Butorac guilty of second degree mur-der in connection with the death of Sheryl Lynn Koroll in Langley in 2007. It was his second trial on the charge.

He is awaiting a retrial in the murder of Gwendolyn Lawton and a first trial in the murder of Margaret Redford.

Water levels below normalMetro Vancouver has told residents to cut water use again.MATTHEW [email protected]

With summer barely underway, Metro Vancouver has put further water restrictions in place due to hot and dry weather.

On Friday Metro Vancouver entered the second stage of a four-stage plan.

“We had lower than normal amounts of snow-fall and precipitation this fall and winter, mean-ing there was less water available in reserve, and summer arrived in full force early this year,” said Township environmental coordin-ator Meaghan Norton Daniel. “The high water demand that comes with extremely hot condi-tions means that Metro Vancouver’s reserves are being depleted much sooner, and at a faster rate than normal.”

In Langley Township, most of the west-ern portion of the community is on Metro Vancouver water. But Aldergrove and the Gloucester Industrial Estates are on a water sys-tem that draws from local wells.

So far there hasn’t been any issues, as far as Township Mayor Jack Froese was aware, and staff are monitoring water levels. With so much media attention to the dry weather, Froese said it seems that most people know to conserve.

“I’m hoping they’ve really got the message,” Froese said.

Langley City is likewise under Metro Van water rules, and both communities can hand out tickets for those who water outside of the allowed times, noted City Mayor Ted Schaffer.

Seasonal lawn sprinkling regulations took effect on June 1. Under the current regulations, watering lawns is permitted only in the mornings, and only one day a week.

Even numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. Monday, while odd-numbered may sprinkle on Thurdays.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays commercial and other non-residential properties can sprinkle their lawns, with even numbered addresses Wednesdays, and odd addresses Tuesdays, from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.

The lawn sprinkling restrictions only apply to grass, not to vegetable gardens or flower beds.

Although water use is restricted mostly for lawns, local daylily grower Pam Erikson expects interest in drought tolerant gardening to grow. Erikson’s perennials need very little water, and bloomed quite well this year.

She runs classes every spring on how to gar-den with little watering, and she expects more interest next year.

“People have to re-adjust their thinking as to what they’re growing,” Erikson said.

Public and commercial fountains and water features must be shut down. Spray parks with user-controlled buttons can stay open, so Langley Township spray parks can operate.

The restrictions also ban washing or pres-sure-washing driveways and sidewalks for aes-thetic purposes. Washing pavement for health and safety reasons is still permitted.

Washing cars is allowed, if a spring-loaded nozzle is used.

Although locals on wells are allowed to water as much as they want, the Township is encour-aging everyone to cut back on water use.

Some Township civic water comes from wells which draw on the same ground water that pri-vate wells use.

Municipal governments enforce the watering restrictions. The last time Metro Vancouver implemented second-stage water shortage restrictions was 2003. The water restrictions will remain in place until Sept. 30.

A new condo project would add hundreds of units to Yorkson.


A proposed condo and town-house complex in Willoughby will get public input later this month.

Langley Township council

passed first and second read-ing of a rezoning to allow A Poet’s Wynd Developments to build two six-storey and two five-storey condos, with at least 286 apartments, plus 138 townhouse units. If approved, the project will be built on the southeast corner of 208th Street and 80th Avenue.

“It seems to be consistent with what’s happening in Willoughby,” said Mayor Jack Froese.

Although a rezoning is need-

ed to get six storey buildings, the neighbourhood plan allows up to 12, noted Froese.

Councillor Kim Richter was opposed, citing density and lack of parking, issues that have come up repeatedly in Willoughby.

“I don’t even think we should send it to public hear-ing,” Richter said.

A public hearing is currently scheduled for Monday, July 20, at 7 p.m. in the Township Civic Facility.

Hundreds of monarch butterflies took flight to support two local organizations.

TROY [email protected]

Three-hundred Monarch butterflies took flight for the first time Saturday afternoon, fluttering into the clear blue sky in honour of loved ones lost, and residents in the twilight of their lives.

Krause Berry Farms hosted its annual butterfly release in support of the Langley Care Foundation, which enriches the lives of the elderly served by the Langley Lodge, and the Langley Hospice Society, which provides pallia-tive and bereavement care and support to individuals and families.

People bought the butterflies for releasing for $20 each, with proceeds benefiting both organizations.

Unlike last year’s release, when it rained off and on and the temper-ature hovered around the 18ºC mark, Saturday’s hot sun made it a challenge for the beautiful bugs, which are sensi-tive to heat.

It took a while for some of them to get their wings flapping in 30ºC tem-peratures before they finally went air-borne.

“The idea is, you’re thinking with your heart; you remember your mom,

your dad, someone who has passed away,” said Pat Matiowski, director of fundraising with Langley Lodge.

The butterfly release was previously held at Langley Lodge but it has “out-grown itself,” Matiowski said. “We don’t have enough space to accommo-date everyone who is interested. It just made a lot of sense to come out to a beautiful rural area like this and partner up with the hospice society.”

The butterflies symbolize the cycle of life, noted Langley Hospice Society communications and funds develop-ment manager Shannon Todd Booth.

“Both organizations are working with people in different ages and phases,” Todd Booth said. “With hospice, people often think that it’s about death but it’s really about life – it’s about living and having choice until the very end of life.”

In addition to the butterflies in flight, there was lots happening at Krause Berry Farms, including entertainment by local BC Country Music Association artist Trevor Murray, as well as chil-dren’s crafts, face painting and u-pick in the berry fields.

The butterflies were supplied by Flutterbuys, a Langley company that sells butterflies for special occasions such as weddings, and butterfly larvae kits for daycares and schools.

OUR VIEW

Attack, but based on the facts

The federal election is still about four months away, but the unofficial campaigns have been raging through the spring and show no sign of letting up.

The Conservatives, the best-funded of the three major parties, have been the busiest, filling the airwaves and web with ads, so far mostly attacking Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau. We expect that the ads slamming the new front runner, NDP leader Tom Mulcair, won’t be far behind.

The NDP and Liberals, both with less cash on hand, will no doubt be rolling out their own campaigns soon.

We know that with a fixed election date, this long, drawn-out campaign sea-son is inevitable. And we know that attack ads are also inevitable.

That’s not really a bad thing. Every party will have positions, and each party has a track record at the federal or prov-incial level, for good or ill. (Expect to hear both Liberals and Conservatives talk about their deficit-fighting experience, while the NDP beats the drum for Tommy Douglas and medicare.) Each party should be allowed to take swipes at the failures of their opponents.

However, we can only hope that the attack ads stick mostly to facts, and poli-cies. The Conservatives have a long track record of attacking Liberal leaders based on their persona – and trying to paint them as wimps, unfit for the job of PM. The Liberals may get huffy, but they spent quite a while accusing the Tories of being bent on destroying the country when the Conservatives were in opposition. The NDP has never been close enough to power to either benefit from or be much damaged by really vicious attack ads – until now.

The Conservatives now have a lengthy track record.

Both the NDP and the Liberals have already started staking out positions on major issues that should give us an inter-esting campaign, even if personal attacks and fearmongering is kept to a minimum.

So let’s have attack ads – on ideas, but not on the very real people who are earn-estly putting them forward.

– M.C.

Ironically, dry wit tends to go nicely with our usual climate, which has a tendency to rain down upon us nearly every part of the year. It has

often been said, for instance, that the rainy season out here begins and ends in August – it begins in the end of August and ends in the beginning of August.

In the winter, our weather often prompts one wag or another to quip, “Well, at least you don’t have to shovel it!”

Of course, there’s always a David Duchovny type out there whose sense of humour falls short of our climate, but for the most part, we laugh it off and admit that, despite the rain, we are lucky to inhabit a pretty darned nice piece of the world.

And then we get a summer like this one, and the irony gets so thick that it leaves a metallic taste in your mouth.

As much as we love to hate the rain, we despise any heat that dares to sneak into the 30s, much less stride boldly through them.

For some reason, it’s harder to coax a chuckle in the heat than it is in the wet.

Sometimes the weather is just plain nothing to laugh about. Indeed, in the heat of the moment, a miscue on what shall be deemed funny and what shan’t could land you in serious trouble.

Years ago, in the days when 27 degrees of Celsius used to be an

unusually hot July day in the Lower Mainland, Donna and I set out on a road trip to Nelson.

It wasn’t particularly our intention to escape the heat... and we most certainly did not.

This was in the days when only rich people had the lux-ury of air conditioning their cars. We were not rich.

We picked the wrong part of the day to get underway, and by the time we got through Princeton, the heat was stifling. Temperatures were in the 40s.

Rolling down the windows merely encouraged the car to suck more heat into its interior.

Our Wet Coast brains were melting.It was around Keremeos that I learned

something about hot-weather jokes that I should try never to forget.

By this time, the sun was beginning to sink towards the horizon, and every so often it would slip behind the top of a mountain, resulting in a dramatic tem-perature drop of several degrees into the high 30s – which after hours of driving in our blast furnace felt like we were suddenly encased in ice.

It was heavenly, and we would slow down and savour those darkened

moments.We pulled in at a gas sta-

tion sitting at the base of a hillside that had been ampli-fying the heat to the point where the pavement had the consistency of Werther’s caramel candy – the soft kind.

A young man reluctantly approached us through the heat and dutifully offered to fill our tank (there were few self-serve stations back then – and certainly not in the sticks).

The desire to be off with his friends in a swimming hole was clearly written in the sweat stream-ing down his face, punctuated by his slouched, scuffling walk.

I couldn’t resist: “Hot enough fer ya?” I quipped.

I shouldn’t have.You’ve certainly heard the expression,

“If looks could kill...”If they could, I would have been sim-

mered in my own juices in 45-gallon oil drum, with the words, “Hot enough for ya?” emblazoned on my forehead with a branding iron.

I could see it in the hot gleam of his eyes.Read Matthew Claxton’s Painful Truth online

LangleyAdvance Thursday, July 9, 2015 A9COMMUNITY FORUM

Dear Editor,Let my wife and I add

our names to the list of Aldergrove residents disappointed with this council’s re-jigged swimming pool design.

On the plus side, they have scrapped incor-

porating the old school house, which was truly goofy.

Unfortunately, the whole project seems to have been overtaken by hockey enthusiasts, when the original and obvious deficit in the

community has long been a useful indoor pool.

Foisting this design on the swimmers of the community, who must now travel to swim elsewhere, is disheart-ening to say the least.

Aging baby boomers like us must maintain mobility of old hips and other joints, and find swimming is an all-en-compassing exercise of necessity.

When the arctic blasts of winter arrive, how does this design serve us?

Poorly.The old Kinsella book

line was “…if we build it, they will come.”

The only individuals flocking to this pool in winter will be penguins.

Designers should consult and listen to a swim club, not a hock-ey organization.

Think again on the pool design.

This one is inad-equate and a failing, upsetting let down.

Bryn and Lynn Jones, Aldergrove

Dear Editor,I am writing in response to

Matthew Claxton’s “Gun control debate is not sane” [Painful Truth, July 2, Langley Advance].

Mr. Claxton argues that the route cause of another mass shooting is the American gun culture.

The truth is that almost all mass shooting have three things in com-mon.

First is a gun, usually not legal-ly owned. The second which is ignored by the news is that the shooting takes place at a “gun free

zone” and third, the perpetrator is on, or coming off of, mind-altering psychiatric drugs.

Two generations ago it was nor-mal for American children to drive to school with their guns in their vehicles and nobody got shot.

Why does the American news corporations refuse to discuss the link between psychiatric drugs and violence?

Could it be because the pharma-ceutical companies pay them mil-lions of dollars in advertising?

Jason Bradner, Abbotsford

Drugs link to US gun violence

Dear Editor,Putting aside the superficiality

of your Our View in the Advance [No easy answer on merging, May 28] you are right, there is no easy answer.

In January 2012 the the Langley Reunification Association (LRA), a.k.a. OneLangley, presented a petition to the Township of Langley bear-ing 3,547 signatures and request-ing the Township enter into a joint, independent study with the City of Langley to look at the feasibility of reunification as one municipality.

The Township accepted our petition and publicly agreed to be part of the joint study.

On the same day the LRA pre-sented the City of Langley with the same petition, signed by 3,176 residents of the City.

The City rejected the peti-tion without any discussion or response to the petitioners, a sad day for grassroots democracy.

In rejecting our petition, then-mayor Peter Fassbender said that the City had done its own study and saw no benefit to amalgamation (reunification).

A study done by City staff, is of course, biased and highly subjective.

For instance, citing the results of amalgamation of the mega-city of Toronto, with more than six million inhabitants, as a rea-son to keep the status quo is like comparing apples and kumquats.

Combined, the populations of the City and Township number a mere 135,000.

We say again, the “study” done by the City was not independent and objective: it was a joke.

LRA does not advocate amal-gamation (reunification). The LRA has demonstrated that deni-zens of both the City and the Township want a joint independ-ent study done to see if amal-gamation (reunification) would

be feasible.An independent study might

demonstrate no advantage to amalgamation (reunification); that result would mean a status quo.

However, if the study shows merit in reunifying the City and the Township, an amalgamation steering body should be created.

An independent study would only show possibilities.

An amalgamation (reunifica-tion) steering body would have to answer all the questions before it was put to the people.

Your headline “No easy answer on merging” is correct, but doing nothing is not a solu-tion to a sizeable number of Langley residents.

The LRA insists that the City drop its parochial attitude and show some courage and vision for the future, and do the study.

Pulling equipment away for a specifi c request lengthens the time it takes to fully complete all the rural boulevards and ditches.

If you have a request for mowing or brush whacking, we ask for your patience as we try to fi t the work schedule in as effi ciently as possible.

Hundreds are expected at this year’s Tip ‘n’ Taste.

ROXANNE [email protected]

A cheque for $14,000 will help buy some major equipment for the seniors in care at Langley Lodge.

And it’s the goal of three Rotary Clubs in Langley to raise that amount for the Langley care Society this Friday, July 10.

Members from the Langley

Sunrise, Langley Central, and Langley Rotary clubs are once again joining forces to host this year’s Tip ‘n’ Taste event, explained committee chair David Truman.

Last year’s event attracted about 500 guests and raised more than $13,000, and Truman believes this year’s fundraiser will attract closer to 550 people and raise in excess of $14,000.

There are 28 beverage vendors participating, as well as eight local food vendors participating in this year’s event. The food vendors

include Brown’s Socialhouse, Choo Choo’s, Earls, JD Farms, Me ‘n’ Ed’s Pizza, Original Joe’s, and Sammy J’s.

“Our specialty beer vendors and food vendors are top-notch,” Truman said. “The convention centre and vendors all participate and provide product at no cost to Rotary, so almost all of the funds raised will go to our beneficiary.”

When Truman was asked what he personally felt was the best aspect of this fundraiser, he replied: “Other than great beer and fantastic food, I think the relaxed

social atmosphere makes it a great place to hang with friends and enjoy the evening.”

Tip ‘n’ Taste is being held in the ballroom at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre, starting at 6 p.m. on Friday.

Tickets are $30 each and avail-able ahead of time online at www.tipntaste.com or by calling 604-329-9604.

Admission, Truman said, includes tickets for five beverage samplers, and five food samples, as well as automatic entry for a num-ber of door prizes.

No experience is necessary for the kids summer film and video camp.


Kids in Grades 4 to 7 can learn how to make music videos and short films at the annual film and video camp at Brookswood Secondary.

Spots are limited for the camp that runs Aug. 31 to Sept. 4.

“This is the 15th year for the camp,” said student vol-unteer Morgaine Lee.

The camp is run by stu-dent volunteers (under the direction of film teacher Robert French) who have been studying film and tele-vision production during the school year.

There’s 10 to 15 student volunteers and up to 30

kids can sign up for the camp.

“No prior experience is needed,” she added. “All the gear is provided.”

The kids learn how to use video cameras, set up

and take cool shots, edit their footage on editing soft-ware, and get to act in each other’s films.

“They will stay on the school grounds during the camp day,” Lee explained.

At the end of the week, parents are invited to come and view the students’ cre-ations and students takes home their films.

The cost is $250 for the camp that runs 9 a.m. to 3

p.m. for the week on the grounds of BSS, 20902 37A Ave. To find out more, people can visit www.back-streetstudioscamp.weebly.com or send an email to [email protected].

Q: How do hearing aids perform with background noise?

A: Background noise is present in all of our lives. Our brains filter out most background noise and we are generally unaware of how much noise we are surrounded by daily. During hearing loss, the brain becomes less effective in this process because some sounds are reduced or inaudible. When an individual begins using the hearing aid more sounds are once again heard and it is necessary to retrain the brain in selective listening skills. Hearing aid manufacturers are constantly working to improve the processing that takes place in the hearing aid to make the added sounds easier to adapt to. Better quality hearing aids are better at filtering out the background noise and reducing the amount of work the brain has to perform.

Q: What is a medical pedicure at Irina’s Beauty & Wellness Clinic?

A: So-called “medi pedis” are catching on with consumers despite the fact that there are no strict guidelines on what they entail or who can perform them. Salons that offer this therapeutic service promise clients a high level of sanitation, scrupulous callus reduction, superior treatment products, and expert knowledge on the part of the practitioner.The biggest difference between a traditional pedicure and a medi pedi is a medi pedi is more of a wellness pedicure rather than a slough and buff; the terms the products we use for the service “pediceuticals,” meaning they are specifically made for feet and the treatment of foot conditions. We use some peels and higher-strength exfoliators to help eliminate excessive callus build-up. “Many of our clients have a greater need for extra foot care because of thick calluses and thick, dry, cracked skin on their heels. A standard pedicure will not soften, smooth, and exfoliate clients’ feet as much. The medi pedi has a completely different infection control process than a standard pedicure.For every new medi pedi client that walks through the door, we do a client consultation and complete evaluation before touching the feet to find out about any health problems or concerns the client may have.

Q: How does orthodontic treatment work and how long does the treatment take?

A: Braces use steady gentle pressure to gradually move teeth into their proper positions. The brackets that are placed on your teeth and the archwire that connects them are the main components. When the archwire is placed into the brackets, it tries to return to its original shape. As it does so, it applies pressure to move your teeth to their new, more ideal positions.

Treatment times vary on a case-by-case basis, but the average time is from one to two years. Actual treatment time can be affected by rate of growth and severity of the correction necessary and also dependent upon patient compliance. Maintaining good oral hygiene and keeping regular appointments are important in keeping treatment time on schedule.

Please call for a complimentary consultation.

Q: What are my options for dealing with debt, besides bankruptcy?

A: There are many alternatives to deal with debt without bankruptcy, such as:

Contacting your creditors to suggest alternative arrangements for payment.Combining or “consolidating” your debts into one loan.Negotiating an informal proposal or payment plan with your creditors.Hiring a private debt counsellor to bargain payment arrangements with creditors, for a fee. (Not all creditors will agree to work with private debt agents). Contact a licensed trustee to file a Consumer Proposal that allows you to only repay a portion of your debts, as settlement in full. This is the number one alternative to bankruptcy in Canada.

Q: Which is better? A school that competes in tournaments or one that doesn’t?

A: The amount of awards a school displays does not necessarily reflect superiority. It simply reflects the interest and dedication of that school in the competitive side of martial arts. Many excellent schools do not choose to compete at all - instead focusing entirely on developing skill and personal growth in a non-competitive environment. Neither is better than the other – just different. Choose a school for its professionalism, reputation, and how it mirrors the morals, integrity and ethical practices you are looking for – not just for the amount of trophies on the wall!

Q: We’d like to buy a foreclosurebecause we have heard that we could get a home for a really good price. Is this true?

A: The word “ foreclosure” is often mistaken to mean a sale at a very low price. When a property goes into foreclosure, it means that the lender has given the owner enough time to bring their mortgage payments up to date and the lender or CMHC will take ownership of the property to extract as muchmoney out of the sale as possible to cover the mortgage debt and other expenses such as unpaid taxes. The process of purchasing a foreclosure is also not straightforward. From the time the property is listed until the offers are presented to the judge in the court the “Seller” continues to accept offers and there may be several offers to choose from. The judge’s position is to protect the best interests of the person who is being foreclosed upon and that means to get the most money possible and thus one can pay more than “market” valuefor a property.

Q: We are ready to list our house.What should we do to prepare our housefor sale?

A: There are several tasks you can undertake to make your house that house that excites the buyers! Here are three ideas for you that you can do on a Saturday afternoon for under $100!

Step outside and look at your house in the same way that a potential buyer will when they drive by your home. Replace your house num-bers if they are faded or tarnished. How about a new doormat! A coat of paint on your door and the trim around it will make it sparkle!

Q: How do Lasers work?

A: Lasers have many therapeutic benefits. The key changes that occur are:PAIN RELIEF: Lasers block pain signals by releasing endorphins and enkephalins which are the body’s natural painkillers.INFLAMMATION REDUCTION: Lasers increase the size of the arteries and lymphatic vessels, allowing swelling to be cleared away from injured sites.ACCELERATED TISSUE REPAIR: Lasers stimulate the energy production centre of the cell (mitochondria) which increases the energy available to these cells and dramatically repairs injured tissues, leading to faster healing.

Shalom Reimer was named Miss Teen BC at an annual pageant.

Fort Langley’s Shalom Reimer was named Miss Teen BC at the annual pageant in her very own neighbourhood.

The pageant for Miss BC, Mrs. BC and Miss Teen BC was July 3 to 5 at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley.

This year’s Langley contest-ants were Emily Mierzejewski, Reimer, Mercedes Takacs, and Alexandryia LaRose.

The pageant charity is the Cops for Cancer of the Canadian Cancer Society. Since 2007, the Miss BC Pageant has raised more than $225,000.

This pageant is different from

others in that all previous rules that may have discriminated against women in pageants have been lifted. There is not a maximum age limit, nor are there height and weight requirements.

For Reimer, the pageant is a way to have a voice.

“I believe that each individ-ual is beautiful in their own way with the unique gifts and talents that they possess,” she said in her pageant profile. “I have always sought to inspire and encourage creativity with-in myself, and others. This is exemplified in my song writ-ing, school leadership, acting, film production, and dancing.”

Heart and Soul event had contestant share a bit about themselves. It is judged by the contestants, who vote on the most inspiring or touching

message. Winner Becca Toews of Abbotsford ran for Mrs. BC.

The winners were:Miss BC Shakti Shunmugam,

On a rainy night before the 2014 Summerfest celebra-tion, Tattoo the fibreglass horse was left laying on

its side at the Brookswood Spray Park, one of its legs broken and its hooves smashed by vandals.

This marked the second time that the statue had been severely van-dalized (the first incident, a vandal, or vandals, had sliced off its head) and marked the end of its stay in the park, forever.

On June 13, Marilyn Dyer, an 82-year-old artist who designed and painted the statue, stood by Tattoo’s side at Brookswood Summerfest, promoting the chil-dren’s book she illustrated about the events of last June and how it applies to bullying and its effects.

The inspiration is Tattoo, a donation from the Brookswood Merchants Association that was put back together for a second time, its blemishes serving as a reminder of what it has been through.

The purpose behind the book Tattoo the Painted Horse, illustrat-ed by Dyer with words from Rie Charles, is to allow the readers to empathize with Tattoo by humaniz-ing the statue and making it a sym-bol for the voiceless and vulnerable, Dyer said.

“When I talked to the Brookswood merchants, I said, ‘It’s a love story – you decided to do this [add Tattoo to the park] to delight the children but this poor, vulnerable, one-of-a-kind creature was in the park and then groups and gangs came along,” Dyer said. “It couldn’t run away because it was screwed down, so I made an analogy between what was reality for Tattoo and what actually hap-pens to people who are voiceless and vulnerable and get bullied.”

Blast of summer: Cruz McLean, six, cooled down at the spray park beside Al Anderson Memorial Pool on a sunny and very hot Saturday, June 27, about midway through a heat wave that has hunkered down in Langley and throughout most of B.C. for more than three weeks.

Doggone success: Langley Baseball’s junior boys team held one tasty fundraiser at The Brooks townhouse complex’s open house recently. The players sold hotdogs, with all items provided by the builder and all proceeds going back to Langley Baseball. The local boys raised approximately $255, which was then doubled by the builder. All leftover items were also then donated to Langley Baseball’s concession (Mindy’s Snack Shack).


Cool sport: Caryse McCartney (pictured competing in the Div. 2 girls 50m butterfly) and her Langley Flippers teammates welcomed more than 500 swimmers representing clubs from around the Fraser Valley to their annual meet. The Langley Flippers Invitational took place last Saturday and Sunday, June 27 and 28, at Al Anderson Memorial Pool.

A Grade 7 student with a propensity for art has earned herself a $1,000 scholarship, while other aspiring young artists are being encouraged to apply for the next round.

Neighbourhood Art Studios announced that Latimer Elementary student Chloe Darrah was the winner of the first of two annual art scholarships.

“Our studios have been instrumental in teaching art in the Langley area for the past 24 years. We have enjoyed success and wanted a way to repay back to our community,” studio founder Rob Barrett said.

“Young budding artists are being left out because public school art programs suffered cutbacks for various reasons,

so children who have artistic talent have not had the chance to learn at a higher level,” he elaborated.

The program is open to Langley and Surrey-area students 12 to 16. The $1,000 scholarship entitles the winner to 48 art classes and supplies needed at Neighbourhood Art Studios. Call 604-455-0344 for complete details.

Rockin in the park: Award-winning children’s entertainer Will Stroet and the Backyard Band had kids moving their feet near the Spirit Square stage Saturday morning at Douglas Park as part of the Concert in the Park series.

SHOWCASE

Day to aid and educateLangley Pos-Abilities is inviting the community to its event.

A society that aids the disabled is work-ing to reach out to the community through its Day of Pos-Abilities event this Saturday at Douglas Park.

The Langley Pos-Abilities Society will be hosting its second annual event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Founder Zosia Ettenberg said the event drew about 500 people last year.

This year it will have a marketplace area, food, entertain-ment, a merchandise tent for performers, displays and exhibits from other non-profit groups, and an area for educational chil-dren’s activities.

One of the Pos-Abilities Society’s goals is education, and they’ll be doing their Try On A Disability event again this year, but with a twist.

Several prominent members of the com-munity have agreed to spend 12 hours con-fined to a wheelchair.

Their half-day will be recorded by aspir-ing filmmakers from Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

The volunteers will speak about their experiences during the 12-hour period, and the student winner of best video after the event will win a schol-arship for further edu-cation or equipment.

The Pos-Abilities Society works to bet-ter the lives of people with disabilities. One of its goals is to provide and upgrade assistive equipment.

That can include a wide variety of items, including those out-side the typical wheel-chair and crutches.

Currently the society is running a contest allowing people to win a tandem wheelchair bike.

The bike allows one person to pedal at the back while another person sits in the wheelchair style seat at the front of the tri-cycle-style bike.

Dear Anne,I was wondering what

tea bags, coffee grounds and eggshells do for plants?

Norma Burnett, Chilliwack

Dear Norma,The beneficial ele-

ments in them are slow-release and present in relatively small quantities.

Allowing them to break down in the com-post is one good way of using them. Another is blending them into the soil around plants, but not concentrating one in one particular spot.

Tea contains nitrogen. So do coffee grounds. The grounds also have trace amounts of phos-phorous and potassium.

Eggshells provide cal-cium to plants. Calcium is especially valuable for tomatoes. Most people just crush them (potato mashers work well). But in the ground crushed eggshells take ages to break down.

Ground-up eggshells release calcium much faster. An old blender might do this job.Dear Anne,

I am planning to

make a small bed approximately six foot by five foot (2 metres by 1.75m), and plant two lilies and a banana plant there. What type of flowers would go well with lilies and the banana plant.

Allan L., BurnabyDear Allan,

Sea soil or compost spread over the bed would help the fertility immensely.

Bark mulch suppress-es weeds very well. When seeds finally blow in on the wind and weeds do start, they’re very easy to pull out of bark mulch.

Try sempervivums. Their leaves are rosettes in various patterns and shades: reddish, blue-grey, green with red tips, etc.

These plants form a carpet so dense, weeds seldom germinate. In summer some of the

older rosettes pro-duce thick stems with flowers. After flowering, the old rosettes die, but new rosettes quickly fill in. Sempervivums are drought-resistant.

Cranesbills are another possibility. It’s dwarf and spreads into a wide, low mound.

Sweet Alyssum is available in mauve or white. They re-seed themselves abundantly.

Oriental poppies pro-duce huge, spectacular flowers in red, orange, white or pink. These seed themselves around if you leave the seed capsules on the plants.

If you prefer spring flowers, the perennial Hellebore orientalis flowers give pleasure for many months.

Flowers fine with banana

ANNE MARRISON

Anne Marrison is happy to answer gardening questions. Send them to [email protected]

The display is a rare chance to see the local garden.


The heat hasn’t harmed the daylilies in Pam Erikson’s gar-dens.

If anything, they’ve grown too much.

Like the fruit and berry crops across Langley, the unseasonably warm spring sent Erikson’s day-lilies into bloom weeks earlier than usual.

Fortunately, she still has plenty of flowers in bloom for this weekend’s big event, the annual open house at Erikson’s Daylily Garden.

“No matter what the weather, there’s always something bloom-ing,” Erikson said.

It’s the 25th anniversary for Erikson’s Daylily Garden, and visitors to the by-donation event will get to see quite a few differ-

ent flowers thanks to the season-al shift.

The Last Man Standing variety, which usually blooms in August, is already out now, Erikson said.

They may be early, but they’re not wilting.

“They’ve got big water nodules on their roots, so they hold on to the moisture,” said Erikson. “They’re smart plants.”

The daylily and hosta collec-tions at the gardens are con-tinually growing, with Erikson adding more and more varieties each year.

The current count is more than 3,200 kinds of daylilies and 520 varieties of hosta. Increased Asiatica, Oriental, and trumpet lilies are also in the garden.

The gardens are closed to visitors for most of the year, so the annual open house is the only chance most people will have to see the flowers, hedges, and winding paths.

There will also be a harpist, and a raffle with prizes from local merchants such as JD Farms, Krause Berry Farms, Chaberton Estate Winery,

Well Seasoned, and VanDusen Botanical Garden.

The even will also feature exhibitors and a harpist playing for the crowd as they wander amid the thousands of daylilies.

For the 25th anniversary, Erikson and her husband will be setting up “then and now” photos at several locations, showing what the garden looked like when they moved in a quarter century ago, and what it looks like today. The differences are striking.

The open house runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days. Money donat-ed for admis-sion goes to the B.C. Children’s Hospital.

The garden is located at 24642 51st Ave.

Kids can bring their dolls and Teddy bears for treatment.


Does Teddy have a boo boo?

Is Dolly not doing as well as she should?

There’s help available this Saturday at the Teddy Bear Clinic.

Willoughby Town Centre is hosting Willoughby Day and one of the highlights is the clinic.

“Kids can bring their Teddys or their dolls to the clinic and they will attempt to make them better through various ways,” said Nicky Kruger, one of the Willoughby Day organizers.

The medical treatment for

those fabric and felt friends is by donation.

The clinic benefits the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation. At Willoughby Day, people can also find out about the foundation’s work and its volunteer opportun-ities.

Established in 1985, the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation has raised more than $30 million to sup-port Langley Memorial Hospital and the healthcare needs of the Langley communities.

Willoughby Day runs 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on July 11 at 208th Street and 80th Avenue.

In addition to the clinic, there’s lots to do and see.

Langley Township firefight-ers will be there with trucks for the public to explore.

Vanilla Clothing hosts a fashion show.

Shoppers Drug Mart has a cosmetics launch party. There’s wine tastings by Town Centre Liquor Store.

Dairy Queen is providing free Dilly Bars to the first 500 people and will soon be opening in Willoughby Town Centre.

Hakam’s Grocer has all sorts of goodies.

Enjoy psychic readings, a show and shine, face painting, the RBC craft tables, demonstrations and more.

Langley’s Karen Lee Batten performs right after lunch while DJMAK 6 will be spin-ning tunes all day and Music

Schools International Langley has performances.

There’s also a chance to win prizes. Pick up a pass-port at any store and get it stamped.

When it’s full, enter it in the draw.

There’s also $1,700 in Willoughby Town Centre gift cards up for grabs during the day.

Another prize is the trip for four to Disneyland.

The draw is at the end of the day and is G&F Financial’s way to mark its first anniversary at the loca-tion.

Kruger noted there’s ample parking at the site. Willoughby Town Centre had held a summer celebra-tion for the past few years since it was constructed and this will be an annual event.

As well the retail complex hosts a Christmas celebra-tion.

Hundreds of hot rod collect-ors are again converging on the Willowbrook Shopping Centre parking lot later this month.

On Sunday, July 19, at least 200 vehicles and their drivers are expected to participate in the British Columbia Hot Rod Association’s annual Hot Rod Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

It’s a free public event open to people of all ages, explained club vice-president Joe Morris.

People can talk to the owners and just enjoy the “fine workmanship” that goes into restoring and main-taining these fine pieces of art, he explained.

“There will be a lot of things to do and see,” Morris said. “Come check out the vehicles, plus enjoy an award presentation, musical entertainment, 50/50 raffle, door prize draws, and food and auto-motive-related vendor sales taking place all day.”

Last year, the club raised more than $10,000 and donated it to the Valley Therapeutic Riding Association.

“We also raise money for many more causes to help our commun-ities,” he said.

The B.C. government declared July as collector car appreciation month. It’s a way of recognizing vintage, classic, hot rod car, motor-cycle, and truck clubs for their con-tribution to the local community.

Reagen Bedard and Bryce Dong both had a meet to remember in Kamloops.

Led by double gold medal winners Reagen Bedard and Bryce Dong, eight Langley Olympians Swim Club members hauled in some hardware at the 2015 B.C. Long Course AA Championships in Kamloops.

All swimmers attending this meet needed a minimum of two B.C. AA qualifying times.

The long course (50-metre pool) competition consisted of heats and finals.

Swimmers needed to race fast in their heats in order to make finals.

LOSC athletes had a strong meet, many of whom made finals, won medals, and achieved new qualify-ing times.

Twelve-year-old Reagen led the way by winning gold in the 12-13 girls 50m freestyle and 100m freestyle, while also gaining B.C. AAA times in both events.

This qualified Reagen for the 2015 B.C. AAA champion-ships taking place in Victoria.

Reagen was also part of the LOSC’s 12 & under girls relay team. The team, which also included 12-year-olds Milana Solar and Reese Blunden along with 10-year-old

Danika Bedard, won gold in the 200m freestyle relay and silver in the 200m medley relay.

Bryce, 12, won gold in the 12-13 boys 400m freestyle and 400m IM, silver in the 1500m freestyle, and bronze medals in both the 200m and 100m fly swims.

Along the way, Bryce also achieved B.C. AAA times in all four events.

Dylan Thomas, 12, won gold in the 12-13 boys 1500m freestyle alongside a B.C. AAA

qualifying time and bronze in the 400m IM.

Reese Blunden, 12, won silver in the 12-13 girls 100m back-stroke and 200m backstroke,

in which she also achieved a B.C. AAA time. Reese also won bronze in the 400m IM.

Brooklyn Swaan, 11, swam to a bronze medal in the 11 & under girls 400m freestyle.

Ten-year-olds Danika Bedard and Brayden Herbert both achieved 100 per cent personal best times.

Olympians head coach Brian Metcalfe was happy about his swimmers’ performance. “The whole team raced well and they all made at least one final. We won a total of 15 medals, which was fantastic and it was good to see the swimmers achieve AAA times.”

Olympians’ registration is ongoing.

Rebels win Futures titleAfter a slow start, Langley’s U18 squad found its form at Softball City.TROY [email protected]

Oh what a Monday night it was for the Langley Rebels, who struck down the California Lightning 9-2 to win gold at the Canadian Open International fastpitch tournament.

The local U18 girls squad, which last month captured the District 8 title at Noel Booth Park, continued its winning ways in the Futures Select Division of the annual elite tourney at Surrey’s Softball City and Cloverdale Athletic Park.

Playing their second game of the day, the Rebels – who had edged the Oregon Wildcats 10-8 in the early afternoon at Softball City – stormed out of the gate courtesy of a two-run home run off the bat of Brooke Deakin to score two early runs.

The Rebels padded their lead with runs in the second and fourth innings.

Langley Thunder forward Pat Saunders looked to elude a pair of Maple Ridge Burrards defenders in Western Lacrosse Association action Tuesday at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge. The Burrards outscored the Thunder 12-9.Troy Landreville/Langley Advance


Consistency and defence are hallmarks of any successful team.

The Langley Thunder seem to be lacking in both areas these days.

A 12-9 loss to the Maple Ridge Burrards Tuesday at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge had the Thunder clinging to fourth place in the Western Lacrosse Association standings.

However, the Thunder had a golden opportun-ity to leapfrog the third-place Burnaby Lakers, if they managed to beat the cellar-dwelling Nanaimo Timbermen last night (July 8) at the Langley Events Centre. The game started after the Langley Advance went to press Wednesday.

Going into last night, the Thunder were below .500 in the win/loss column with a 6-7 record.

They and the Burrards also had the dubious distinction of having allowed the most goals against (118 apiece) in the league, thus far.

In a rare Saturday night edition of The Clash at the Cascades amateur boxing series, the July 4 American holiday and stifling weather didn’t keep boxing fans away from the Coast Hotel ball-room.

The host club,

Langley’s City Boxing, had a 50-50 night in the win/loss column.

The main event saw a much-anticipated B.C. lightweight cham-pionship match.

It was a clash for a vacant title between the best two light-weights (135 lbs.)

in the province – No. 1 ranked Tyler Nicholson of Titan Martial Arts and prov-incially second-ranked Mat Andreatta of City Boxing.

“Unlike some of the stage-managed pro fights we have been subject to in the last few months on cable and pay-per-view, this was a real fight with two high-end fighters

at their best,” opined Clash matchmaker and promoter Dave Allison.

The bout started at a frenetic pace, with Andreatta taking the lead with fast combin-ations.

Nicholson fought back but either missed or just grazed Andreatta, and could not keep up with the accurate solid punch-es of his opponent, Allison noted.

Roughly midway through the round, Andreatta landed a solid shot that seemed to have the taller Nicholson in trouble.

Nicholson continued to fight back and weathered Andreatta’s onslaught.

Then, just after the 10 second call to end the round, one of Nicholson’s punch-es landed flush and Andreatta dropped to one knee, but he got to his feet and beat the count.

At the start of the second round both boxers went right after each other and Nicholson found his range again and again, but Andreatta got up and beat the count.

Although Andreatta was willing to con-tinue, his corner stopped the contest and Nicholson was crowned the new B.C. lightweight champion.

The semi-main event saw another City boxing product, Scott Woodward, take on Carlson Gracie’s Jeremy Cooke in a

very exciting and close contest.

Woodward, who is usually a brawler, took on the role of the boxer, Allison said, adding “This left no option for Cooke who did not disappoint in bringing it on to Woodward.”

Cooke was always dangerous, however, and Woodward used movement and ring geography to win a very close split deci-sion.

Since Nicholson won the 135-lb. B.C. title, he will forfeit his 140-lb. City championship.

In other action, Langley City’s Chris Chiavacci weathered an early storm from Sage Balakrishnan of Carlson Gracie’s in a 140-lb. fight.

Chiavacci went on to drop Balakrishnan and go on to win a unanimous decision.

In the other match featuring a Langley City boxer, Cody

Robertson of Surrey’s WKX won a unani-mous decision over Langley’s Dan Hettes.

Surrey’s Port Kells Boxing Club boxers went two-for-two on the night, with Brandon Kim taking a unanimous decision over Reese Mensing of Richmond’s New Era Boxing in a 168-lb. tilt, and Jerome Serrano on the winning end of a very close match against Nikhilesh Nayar of Vancouver in the 140-lb. weight class.

Overall, between 250 and 300 fans saw 19 bouts, including the dramatic main event.

The next clash show is set for Friday, Sept. 11.

Rebels impress coach…continued from page A23

The fifth inning was the decisive one for the Rebels, who tacked on five more runs on a two-out rally, and then held the Lightning off the scoresheet to seal the win.

After a slow start that saw the Rebels lose two of three games on Saturday (including a 13-5 thumping at the hands of the Wildcats from Oregon), they went undefeated on Sunday and Monday to win the division.

Rebels assistant coach Ron Adams said the team played bet-ter as the tournament wore on.

“They started to turn it on after Saturday,” Adams said. “Once they came out of the round robin, they played up to their potential. After Saturday, we had a talk with them and they played very well. If they play like that at the provincials, we’ll finish in the top three, for sure.”

The Rebels, who are now gearing up for the B.C. cham-pionships in Nanaimo next weekend, include Melanie Mullin, Cassidy Komorowski, Nicole Bolton, Emma Bolton, Shelby Moon, Aisha Kaay, Jaden Carson, Caitlin Belz, Maddy Rogerson, Sarah Bourlet, Sarah Schwagele, Brooke Deakin, and Olivia Lamirande.
