Metal thieves have vandalized acenotaph dedicated to Canada’s wardead in Langley.

by Matthew [email protected]

An ornamental bronze plaque has beenstolen off a Langley cenotaph honouring sol-diers who died in the First and Second WorldWars.

The plaque, which shows crossed rifles anda First World War-style soldier’s helmet, wasfirst reported missing on Sept. 4, by staff atMurrayville Cemetery.

Township of Langley Cemetery SupervisorKevin Bunnett said the family of a veteranwas visiting the cemetery in preparation for aburial. He turned to show them the cenotaph,and noticed the decorative bronze was miss-ing.

“It is disrespectful, big time,” Bunnett saidof the theft, adding that there have been veryfew problems with theft or vandalism at theMurrayville Cemetery. Located at 21405 44Ave., the graveyard is surrounded by “goodneighbours” who are conscientious aboutreporting problems to the Township or the

Langley RCMP,he said.

However,the cemeteryis also largelysurroundedby trees and

is somewhat isolated from the view of mostnearby homes.

The cenotaph is located at the far south-western end of the cemetery, which slopesgently down towards the lip of the escarpmentabove the Nicomekl flood plain.

The sizeable stone cenotaph is one of twobuilt in the years following the First WorldWar.

Veterans of that conflict returned to Langley,but left many of their friends and neighbourson battlefields in France and Belgium.

The cenotaphs were built in Fort Langley,and in Murrayville, in what was then knownas the Langley Prairie Cemetery. Anothergranite plinth was later added to the cenotaphnaming local men who died in the SecondWorld War.

Over the years, Royal Canadian Legionbranches in Langley City and Aldergrove alsobuilt their own cenotaphs.

More names were added to the two originalcenotaphs after the Second World War andKorean War.

Every Remembrance Day, Nov. 11,major ceremonies are held in LangleyCity, Aldergrove, and at the Fort LangleyCemetery’s cenotaph.

Murrayville’s is the only cenotaph inLangley without an official ceremony ofremembrance, but on most years half a dozento a dozen individuals will gather spon-taneously, observe a moment of silence at11 a.m., and place poppies on the marker.Bunnett said several wreaths are placed thereeach year.

This is not the first time one of the memor-

ials has been vandalized.The Fort’s cenotaph had its metal plaques

stolen several years ago, and the Murrayvillemarker was used as a model to craft thereplacements. Because the two cenotaphswere matched, the plaques are identical.

Fort Langley’s Brenda Alberts was oneof the co-founders of the Fort’s renewedRemembrance Day ceremonies. She wasshocked to hear of the new thefts.

“That is just disgusting,” she said.Alberts remembered when the Fort’s ceno-

taph was vandalized. It took about a year toget the replacement bronze.

Bunnett has been in touch with Fred Pepinof the Langley Heritage Society, and they havethe molds from the last time one of the decor-ations needed to be replaced.

“I’ve given them the go ahead to make anew one,” said Bunnett.

There is no estimated cost yet for that pro-cess. The cemetery staff would still prefer torecover the plaque intact, if it hasn’t alreadybeen melted down for scrap.

“We’d like to find it, and ask that anyonewith information leading to it to call theLangley RCMP,” Bunnett said.

A recent similar theft in Surrey took place atanother cemetery, where bronze flower vaseswere stolen off a number of graves. Of thosetaken, about 28 were recovered from a metaldealer. Surrey RCMP said a Langley womanwas a person of interest in that case.

The RCMP can be contacted at 604-532-3200, or to remain anonymous, people cancall CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

UpFrontParticipants ran, walked,cycled, and rode in buggiesin Walnut Grove and LangleyCity, to honour Terry Foxand raise funds for cancerresearch Sunday.by Troy [email protected]

Carolyn Dixon walked with aheavy heart Sunday morning.

The Murrayville resident wasamong many who wrote on atribute poster laid out on a tableat the Terry Rox Run, that start-ed and finished at Douglas ParkSept. 15.

Her words: “In Honour of ourson Andrew, always ‘ride on.’Carolyn, Tom.”

Andrew Dixon, an avid cyclist,died from a rare form of sinuscancer on June 21.

He was 35 and is survived byhis family that includes his twoyoung children.

Carolyn wore her son’s cyclingjersey during her walk, because,she said, “he couldn’t.”

Andrew rode in the Ride ToConquer Cancer benefiting theBC Cancer Foundation in 2009and 2011. He registered for thisyear’s ride held June 15-16 butwasn’t able to take part becausehe was in hospice care.

“His friends all rode for him,”Carolyn said. “So I’m wear-ing the jersey that he couldn’twear.”

Leading up to the ride,Andrew wrote on his sponsor-ship page: “I have first handexperience with the treatmentand support services offeredthrough the BC Cancer Agencywith funding coming from theBC Cancer Foundation.”

Asked how emotional thisyear’s Terry Fox Run is for her,Carolyn answered, “Extremely.”

“We’ve got some friends we’regoing to be walking with, meand my husband [Tom],” shesaid. “This hasvery specialmeaning to us.”

The 33rdannual runwas held acrossCanada and theworld, to hon-our the memoryof Terry Foxwhile raising mil-lions for cancerresearch.

To raise aware-ness and funds inhis fight againstcancer, Fox ran anaverage of 42 kilo-metres every dayfor 143 days beforethe disease forcedhim off the road onSept. 1, 1980

On Feb. 1, 1981,Fox’s dream of rais-ing $1 for everyCanadian was real-ized – the Terry FoxMarathon of Hopefund totaled $24.17 million.

Fox died June 28, 1981.To date, more than $800 mil-

lion has been raised worldwide

for cancer research in Fox’sname, with 84 cents of each dol-

lar raised throughthe Terry FoxFoundation goingto cancer research.

The two Langleyfundraisers wentoff as planned,thanks to thework of organ-izers and volun-teers.

But in a fewcommunitiesacross Canada,includingAbbotsford,Terry Fox runswere cancelledbecause of alack of volun-teers.

This came asa surprise toMidori Turnerfrom theRotary Clubof LangleySunrise, whoorganized the

Walnut Grove run.“I did not hear that,” said

Turner, in her first year organiz-ing the run. “That’s too bad.”

Langley City wants to negotiatesteep increases in fees to buildnew schools.by Matthew [email protected]

Langley City council wants tonegotiate with the school board toavoid steep fee increases for newbuildings.

Every new home constructedincludes a fee for new schoolacquisition. When land for a newschool is needed, those funds willbe spent.

At a Sept. 9 meeting, CouncillorDave Hall expressed concern about

the fact that the district was plan-ning to raise those fees sharply,from $354 to $737 for a house and$283 to $590 for a condounit or townhouse.

The proposed increasesare up for discussion onSept. 24 by the schoolboard.

Hall called for the Cityto send a representative,possibly the acting mayor,to talk about phasingin the changes or evenallowing Langley City topay a reduced rate com-pared to the Township.

The Langley SchoolDistrict covers both City andTownship.

Hall pointed out that the Cityhas lost school programs in recentyears, such as Apex, to locations in

the Township, and thatH.D. Stafford Secondaryin the City was turnedinto a middle schoolsome years ago.

Coun. Gayle Martinpointed out that over 10years, the district is pro-jecting 370 new studentspaces will be created inLangley City, while inthe Township, it will be8,098.

That is mostly theresult of explosive

growth in the Willoughby neigh-bourhood.

Council balks at fee increasesERT helped bring in aman believed involvedin a home invasiontargeting the elderly.

Following a shortstandoff in downtownLangley Saturday, policehave arrested a secondman in a home invasionthat occurred earlier thismonth.

Acting on a tip from amember ofthe public,LangleyMountieswere able toarrest BrodyMuncey, a27-year-oldLangleyman,believedinvolved inthe Sept. 9 home invasionand robbery of two elderlywomen, explained LnagleyRMCP Const. Craig VanHerk.

Muncey was arrested inan apartment building inthe 5300 block of 206thStreet, based on a tip thathe was staying in one ofthe units.

“Out of an abundanceof caution, some residentsof neighbouring unitswere temporarily movedoutside andthe LowerMainlandemergencyresponse teamwas calledin,” Van Herkexplained.

“A short standoff ensuedbut after a few minutesMuncey was arrested with-out further incident,” headded.

Muncey is being heldin custody pending acourt appearance today(Tuesday) in Surrey prov-incial court.

The suspect is expectedto face charges of break

and enter and unlawfulconfinement.

He was also the subjectof outstanding warrantsfor robbery and use ofan imitation firearm inBurnaby.

Muncey was found inthe same block where thehome invasion took place.Van Herk couldn’t sayif Muncey was actuallyliving in the apartmentwhere he was located bythe police.

“He is quite well knownto police,”Van Herksaid of thesuspect.

Mountieswere thank-ing themedia andpublic fortheir helpin locatingand arrest-

ing Muncey, with Insp.Murray Power lauding allinvolved.

“We are very pleasedwith the response to thiscrime by members of theLangley RCMP.

“Their efforts were sup-ported by Lower Mainlandsupport sections includingthe forensic identifica-tion section, police dogservices, and the emer-gency response team andensured a timely, efficient

investigation,”Power said.

OnThursday,policeannouncedthey’d made

an arrest in another homeinvasion in Langley thatoccurred on Sept. 5.

For the full story on thathome invasion and arrest,see story on page A8.

The two cases involvedbreak-ins through second-storey balconies in LangleyCity, but otherwise arebelieved to be completelyunrelated, Van Herk toldthe Langley Advance.

It’s not fair.I’m paying more than you are.And most of the work isn’t even for my

benefit – I’ll get nothing from it.Except a bigger bill.The work that is inconveniencing me – and

costing me more than it does you – is a muni-cipal project, but a lot of the money is comingto us through the beneficence of the provincialgovernment.

Now, I’m supposed to feel bet-ter about that, because the muni-cipal part of the price tag comesout of my property taxes, but oursmooth-talking political hackslike to try and convince us allthat the giant provincial “grant”that makes all of this work pos-sible comes to us for free.

Somehow, they would have us believe, themoney that comes out of the provincial coffersmaterializes out of thin air.

Interestingly, however, when we have aprovincial works program that is augmentedby a federal grant, the provincial hacks willhave us believe that the less the provincepays, the better things are for us, because it’sthen the federal money that costs us absolutelynothing.

Meanwhile, the feds are so removed fromus over here on the Wet Coast (an even moreironic twist than usual on our directionallycoastal designation, in light of the phone callI got from Donna moments ago to inform methat our well just ran out of water… again– but I digress) that they don’t even botherto try and explain where they get the money,simply assuming that we realize that they havethe money, whether we like it or not, and thatit came out of our pockets directly or indirect-ly, whether we like it or not.

But back to the municipal project that is

costing me more than anyone else – well,except maybe for a few hundred other longand/or short range commuters who, like me,will have to drive an extra two kilometres(actually, more like about 2.15 kilometres, butI’m not really in the mood to quibble) to get towork every morning and then again to returnhome every afternoon or evening, dependingon their usual hours.

Consider that carefully.We are often told the cost of our municipal

projects, usually broken down to the hundredsof thousands of dollars, and we can calculate,dividing that number by the number of resi-dents who own property in the given munici-pality, the average amount that each of us ispaying.

Naturally, those with more (ormore expensive) property paymore, and those with less payless. That’s the nature of ourprogressive tax system, aimed atensuring that the greater burdengoes to those who can afford towield it.

That doesn’t bother me,because, frankly, I’m close enough to averagethat I’m not getting chiselled like the rich guysdown the street (who deserve it, after all).

It’s those four kilometres per day that botherme, because that’s a significant portion thatI’m paying that you are not.

Figure this: in summer, my car deliversabout 100 kilometres for about seven litres ofgasoline, and in winter that goes up to abouteight litres. Let’s call it 7.5 litres per 100 km,for the sake of ease.

I’ll be driving four kilometres extra fivedays of every week from now to January, theprojected completion of the project. Five daysa week for about 20 weeks means I’m driv-ing an extra 400 km this year – burning 30litres of gas (into the atmosphere, by the way,as are a few hundred other commuters simi-larly inconvenienced). Based on the currentapproximate gas prices, that’s going to cost meabout $40.

And here’s the ultimate irony: the projectwill bring water past my house, but I won’t begetting any!

OpinionOur View

Leaders can’ttake the heat

School children heading off to Victoriaon field trips will be able to see plenty ofinteresting sights this year. There’s the RoyalB.C. Museum, the historic architecture, thescenic harbour. What they won’t get to seeis this province’s MLAs debating in theLegislature.

Premier Christy Clark has framed herdecision to cancel any fall sitting in an oddway. She’s suggesting that instead of closingher government off in Victoria and impos-ing legislation from there, the Liberals willbe more open by consulting with BritishColumbians.

Whether this will amount toany real interaction, or will be aseries of staged photo ops andsupporter-packed town hallsremains to be seen.

But we can already say whatwon’t happen: there won’t be any questionperiod. There won’t be any debate with theother MLAs elected by British Columbians,the NDP and Green ones. There won’t beany chance for new regulations to be airedout and amended.

In Ottawa, PM Stephen Harper hasalso cut the days the Parliament will sit,although he didn’t have the audacity to say“See you next spring.”

Politicians need to be held to account atall times. The Liberals in B.C. can be justifi-ably proud of their come-from-behind elec-tion win this spring. Nobody, apart frommaybe Rich Coleman, saw it coming.

But while it was a convincing win, itwasn’t a crushing landslide of a victory,either. Plenty of people still wanted theprovince to go another way, and while theydidn’t amount to a majority, it’s not a goodidea to ignore them, either.

Maybe the Liberals will consult with thepublic. But they need to be accountable inevery forum available. Question period anda full sitting of the legislature are amongthose mechanisms of accountability. It’swrong to write it off as Ms. Clark has done.

Dear Editor,Cutting down historic trees will

not make Fort Langley a saferplace for pedestrians.

This community, like others inLangley Township, has roadsthat are increasingly used bylarge commercial vehicles, andalso used as speedy short-cutsfor commuters. These roads werenever designed for this level oftraffic.

In Fort Langley, it is dumbfounding to seethe speed at which cars and trucks travelalong 88th and 96th Avenues, through resi-dential areas. The speed limit is 50 km/h,starting at the outskirts, and it needs to beenforced.

The corner at 96th Avenue andGlover Road works fine whendrivers are patient, and adding alight to the intersection would, infact, increase the number of carsand large trucks, because theyknow they will not have to wait.

More traffic means a higher pos-sibility of pedestrian accidents.

The tree on 96th Avenue isbeautiful, and it should stay to

remind us of the sacrifice a young manmade long ago for future generations. It is avery small inconvenience for us to respectcurrent and future generations by slowingdown in residential areas, and taking roadsmeant for highway traffic.

Dear Editor,Oksana Fegjko [B.C.

poverty rate still too high,Aug. 8 Letters, LangleyAdvance] is correct, as far asshe goes, regarding the stateof poverty among B.C.’smost vulnerable.

Being among this groupmyself, I know first handhow we are dealt with.Don’t expect any compas-sion from a right-wing,social-Darwinist governmenttoward those to whom theyseem to say, “If you are

poor, disabled, or disadvan-taged, it is your fault; suckit up and stop complaining.”

Our small segment ofvoters hold no interest forthose in power.

The average person ondisability benefits gets$951.42 a month to live on.Some time around eightyears ago we got a raise of$50 a month. It sure is agood thing the cost of livinghas not gone up since then,eh?

We are allowed to earn upto $800 a month before theystart clawing back. Haveyou tried to find a job, espe-cially if you have barriers toworking, in this economy?

The elected dictatorshipwe live under seems onlyconcerned with what theycan do for their friends andsupporters. The bloatedsalaries of the public sectorworkers and the politiciansthey work under could becut back, and the excessesused to fund much-neededhelp in social programs,health care, and education.

Odd Thoughts

Licence accountable cyclistsDear Editor,

Bob Groeneveld [Add cycling to cycle of learning, July30 Odd Thoughts, Langley Advance] states that he wishesthere were more cyclists to combat the stupidest, mostoblivious creatures populating the face of the earth: thetexting driver.

While I agree they are stupid, the laws need to beenforced for motorists as well as cyclists. I often see cyclistsdo the most stupid things, on the sidewalk, on the cell, nohelmet, not stopping for pedestrians or lights, etc.

Yes, it is more dangerous in a car, but who is to blamewhen my fellow cyclists flaunt the laws, flip someone thebird and continue on their merry way?

Cyclists should have licenses issued them for a nominalfee, so there is some accountability when they break thelaw. How do you call 311 and complain when the onlydescription is of the cyclist themselves?

Council should spend money on enforcing the rules,which they would quickly recoup from ignorant drivers andcyclists alike.

Anthony Dell’Orto, Vancouver

Dear Editor,While for the most part

I agree with the actions ofthe Canadian TaxpayersFederation, Mr. Batemanhas dropped the ball big

time [Pay is too high formunicipal jobs, Aug. 12Letters, Langley Advance].

Rather than complainabout the municipal payrates, as a concerned cit-

izen he should address theabominable wages paid topeople who have no organ-izations to speak for them.

Not being a fan of union-ization, I cannot dismiss thestrength of unity when itcomes to wage negotiations.

If Mr. Bateman thinks$22.80 an hour for a parksmaintenance position isexcessive, perhaps heshould try to purchase ahouse, educate a child, orpurchase, insure, and fuel avehicle on that wage.

I think the federation hasbigger fish to concern them-selves with than the munici-pal wage rates, for instancethe transfer of billions ofdollars out of Canada with-out being taxed comes tomind.

Police now have a man in custody ina strange home break-in.by Matthew [email protected]

The Langley RCMP have arrested asuspect in the strange incident earlier thismonth, in which a man was found hidingin a senior’s apartment.

Liban Mohamud Shire, a 22-year-oldwith no fixed address, has been arrestedand charged with break and enter andunlawful confinement for the Sept. 5 inci-dent, said Cpl. Holly Marks, the spokes-person for the Langley RCMP.

Police believe Shire is the man whoclimbed into the second-storey apartment,in the 5800 block of Glover Road duringthe early morning.

The 87-year-old resident was getting

ready for bed when she found the manhiding in her home.

He knocked her to the ground, then toldher he just wanted food and helped herup and into her bedroom.

From there, she grabbed and activatedthe emergency alarm. The man fled overthe balcony.

The victim wasn’t hurt in her fall, butwas slightly injured when she yanked onthe emergency cord.

A forensic team checked the balconyfor evidence and police said they quicklydetermined a suspect.

Shire was held in custody after his arrestand has appeared several times in Surreyprovincial court.

He is also wanted on arrest warrantsin Saskatchewan for possession of stolenproperty, unlawful confinement, and rob-bery, said Marks.

A two-day festival in south Langleyescaped raindrops over the weekend.

Even so, a blanket of cloud was thesuspected reason why attendance wasdown from previous years at the annualCountry Celebration at Campbell ValleyRegional Park. There were an estimated3,000 visitors to the fair Saturday androughly the same number Sunday.

This marked the fifth year that JeremyPlotkin, who coordinates community

events for Metro Vancouver Parks, hasorganized the celebration.

“I’m still learning the ropes,” he said.“Everybody that I’ve talked to has real-

ly enjoyed themselves, and had a greattime,” Plotkin told the Langley AdvanceSunday afternoon.

Plotkin called the event, now in its35th year, “an old time country fair that’sreally community based and communitydriven. We’ve got lots of animals for thekids to see and lots of activities for thekids to do with face-painting, kite mak-ing, and Nylon Zoo storytelling.”

The question of wholeft horse heads andlegs in a ditch maynever be answered.

by Kelly SinoskiSpecial to the Langley Advance

Animal protection offi-cers were called in aftertwo horse heads and sev-

eral horse legs were founddumped in a Langley ditchlast week.

Shawn Eccles, of theB.C. Society for thePrevention of Crueltyto Animals, said hisagency’s night dispatcherwas called by police whohad received a tip aboutthe body parts in southLangley’s Brookswoodneighbourhood at about6:30 p.m. on Sept. 8.

Eccles said he was sur-prised the SPCA was calledas there was no evidenceof cruelty to the animals,such as abullet holethrough theskull.

He saidthere isno wayof know-ing howthe horseswere killed or where theycame from, but it’s sus-pected the body parts weredumped after the horseswere home-slaughtered fortheir meat. It’s not evenconfirmed, he said, thatthe heads and legs belongtogether. The only wayto find out is to do costlyDNA tests, which theSPCA is not planning.

“It’s very easy for some-one to go to auction andpick up an animal and doa home slaughter,” Ecclessaid. “We’d be more inter-ested in knowing if anyonehad any lost or stolenhorses and there’s nothingon that.”

Langley RCMP Const.Holly Marks said policehave no idea where thehorses came from. Shesaid the SPCA was con-tacted to assist with thedisposal.

But while the SPCA hadpreviously collected animalbody parts across MetroVancouver and disposed ofthem in waste incineratorsat local shelters, Ecclessaid the organization nowonly has contracts withBurnaby and Maple Ridge.“I wouldn’t have pickedthem up unless there was

crueltyinvolved,”he said.“We’renot hereto pick uptrash inthe City orTownshipof

Langley.”The SPCA is now stuck

with the horse heads andlegs, Eccles said, and willhave to bear the costs ofhiring a contractor to dealwith the waste. It hadpreviously cost the SPCA40 to 50 cents a pound fordisposal of animal waste.

According to LangleyTownship bylaw officials,the dumping of the horseparts would be consideredillegal dumping. If caughtred-handed, the dumperwould face a $150 fine,but few such people arecaught.

ride since age eight, Stetz said he’s never aspired to be a mountedmember. But he did describe this summer’s travels as

the highlight of his career with theRCMP.

Every dollar the hospital store brings in helpssupport patient care in Langley.by Matthew [email protected]

Langley Memorial Hospital’s gift shop has been given amuch-needed face lift, and volunteers there hope it willbring in more money to help patients.

The Langley Memorial Hospital Auxiliary has funded arenovation of the gift shop, which it has run for decades.

Joan Brown oversees the all-volunteer group that staffsthe gift shop.

“I’ve been here 13 years,” said Brown.In that time, the gift shop has been in pretty much the

same state. Brown started thinking about whether it wastime to do some painting and maybe do something aboutthe floors.

That idea evolved into a plan to renovate the wholeshop, increase its floor space, and bring in new types ofmerchandise.

“It’s been 100 per cent funded by the auxiliary,” Brownsaid the renovation.

The gift shop now extends out a little further into thehospital’s atrium, and is about 35 per cent larger than theold space.

The volunteers, mostly retired seniors, won’t have topush racks of clothing and magazines in and out everytime they open and close up; the shop will now be com-pletely enclosed.

Ingrid Finnigan, who manages volunteer resources forLangley Memorial, said one of the aims of the renovationis to sell new items and increase their appeal to the staffat the hospital. Clothing and other high-end items are tobe added.

“The staff are our best customers,” said Brown.While they’ll still sell magazines, snacks, stuffed ani-

mals, and cards to those visiting patients, the nurses,doctors, and technicians of hospitals are always stoppingoff to pick up something, Finnigan said.

After working 12-hour shifts, many staff members arehappy to be able to pick up something in the gift shop,rather than driving to a mall.

The shop was closed from June to the end of Augustfor the renovations, but everything came in on schedule.

Brown and Finnigan also hope to double the number ofvolunteers they have working in the shop.

The auxiliary goes back to 1947, the year before thehospital would open its doors. It would begin by sewingsheets, pillow cases, and cloth diapers for the soon-to-open building.

The modern version does less sewing, but still contrib-utes every year through raising money. Twice a year theysupply items for patient care off a “wish list.”

To sign up as an auxiliary volunteer, contact the groupat 604-514-6161 or via email at [email protected]. The auxiliary also operates the Penny PincherThrift Store in Langley City.

by cancer, with family members bat-tling the disease.

In Langley City, participants ran,walked, cycled, and travelled inbuggies along one-, five- and 10-kilo-metre routes, starting from DouglasPark at 10 a.m.

Organizers of the City fundraiserthanked volunteers and called theevent, which generated close to$9,000, a great success.

“Everyone had a great time. Wewanted to raise money and we want-ed to salute Terry’s epic Marathon ofHope. We wanted to celebrate a trueCanadian hero, and we did!” saidLilianne Fuller, the 2013 chair of theLangley City volunteer committee.

There were 262 registered partici-pants. And at the run site in DouglasPark, visitors were invited to enjoythe festival atmosphere and havefun.

Volunteers were in abundance, aswell.

“A total of 58 volunteers cametogether to make the event a greatsuccess. Considering some runs

were cancelled due to a lack ofvolunteers, we consider ourselvesblessed,” Fuller said. “Langley trulyis a volunteer hub.”

Plans are already underway fornext year’s run.

Walnut Grove participants, includ-ing Township Mayor Jack Froeseand former Township councillorHowie Vickberg, started their run/

walk/ride from the Walnut GroveCommunity Centre an hour earlier.

“We feel it’s a great event for thecommunity,” Turner said. “[The]Terry Fox [Foundation] does a greatjob of supporting the event as well.This is just an easy project for us totake on and help out the commun-ity, and help promote awarenessabout Terry Fox and his cause.”

Fundraising

Out and a boot

A farm day fundraiser is happening Sunday.by Roxanne [email protected]

At almost two months old, Greyson O’Neill isweighing in at four pounds, eight ounces,has come through heart surgery like atrooper, is breathing room air – although still

with the assistance of a ventilation system to keep hislungs strong – and had his first bath a few days back.

This Langley baby made the news when he wasborn 15 weeks prematureand his low-incomeparents – with limitedtransportation options– found themselves try-ing to shuttle back andforth to Vancouver dailyto be with their new-born [Premie’s parentsreach out to help otherfamilies, Aug. 6, LangleyAdvance]. From their ownexperience, they discov-ered there were a lot ofother parents who were facing financial hardshipswhile taking care of their sick children in hospital.That’s when Greyson’s parents, Erin Heard and JamesO’Neill, decided they wanted to help out others.

While friends and family held a fundraising pubnight earlier this month to aid the local couple incovering unexpected expenses due to Greyson’s hos-pitalization, they are hoping a fundraiser planned inAldergrove this weekend will raise money to helpother parents at BC Children’s Hospital facing similarhardships.

This weekend’s event, called a Family Fun FarmDay, is being held Sunday, Sept. 22, from 2 to 10 p.m.at Extreme Equestrian, 25039 8th Ave. in Aldergrove.

Everything is by donation, O’Neill said, from admis-sion (they’re asking people to bring a baby donationfor the Langley Food Bank) to the horse and ponyrides. The day also features karaoke from 2 to 5 p.m.,a pig roast, petting zoo, live entertainment, archerydemonstrations, and a silent auction.

O’Neill is hoping to raise a few thousand dollars,wanting to make a donation to BC Children’s Hospitalin Greyson’s name, as well as to help out a 17-year-old single mom and her baby who are at the hospital.

Greyson has since been moved to Surrey MemorialHospital, where doctors say he will remain under 24-hour monitoring until at least November. He still hasunder-developed lungs and retinas.

People can follow Greyson’s progress and the fund-raising efforts on Facebook, at Greyson’s Page.

A sellout crowd filled theCoast Hotel ballroom towatch the best from the easttake on the west’s best.by Troy [email protected]

By all accounts, the WBCCanadian championships was ahit.

Friday’s amateur boxingextravaganza at the Coast Hotelballroom was a sell out withwhat organizer Dave Allisonfrom Langley City Boxingdescribed as an “enthusiasticcrowd.”

“In terms of the fights, theshow was great with 10 wellmatched fights full of excite-ment,” Allison said. “All aspectsof the event was just great andthe WBC brand name was a hit.”

Roughly 500 boxing fans sawa competition billed as the “bestof the east fighting the best fromwestern Canada.”

“The result was electric,”Allison said, who noted that itwas the first event in Canadausing the rules of the 2016Olympic Games.

The 10-point must system wasused for scoring and the head-gear came off.

There were no cuts and noneof the boxers were knocked out.

“It was competitive and excit-ing boxing,” Allison said. “Thecrowd was into the show boutafter bout.”

Langley light-weight RussLavery wasnamed the even-ing’s top boxerafter outboxingMarcus Sandhufrom NorthBurnaby.

Profiled in theSept. 12 LangleyAdvance [Pugilist targets WBCtitle] Lavery is now the WBCCanadian titleholder after defeat-ing Sandhu, a last minute substi-tute after the eastern Canadianopponent could not make it to

Langley for the bout.Sandhu had defeated Lavery a

couple of months ago in a matchfight, and was one of the moreexperienced boxers on the card.

However, Lavery had themomentum going in and hadbeen very busy and active,unlike Sandhu.

“Both fighters were downin the fight but it was clearlyLavery who deserved theunanimous decision,” Allisonreported.

Lavery didn’tescape the boutunscathed, how-ever, suffering abroken thumb.The very nextday, Laveryflew to Thailandwhere he’sdoing volunteerwork through

International Volunteer HQ.The main event saw a very

close cruiserweight bout pit-ting Ken Huber representing thewest taking on eastern rep ReniePlacid. Both boxers had their

moments and the seesaw battlewas very exciting and close.

The split decision went toHuber.

In the super welterweightdivision, BC Boxer of the YearRemy Lavoie took onMarko Szalai from theeastern team.

Allison said Szalai wasoutstanding and won aclear unanimous decision.

The welterweight fightpitted the east’s LucasRowe against the west’sGeorge Vourtsis.

“This was what iscalled a style match up,”Allison shared. “Vourtsisis a brawler who likes itin the trenches and Rowe [is] aslick tall southpaw.”

In this case the slick southpawprevailed and won a unanimousdecision.

The featherweight title boutmay well have been the bestfight of the night, in Allison’sopinion. Eastern boxer Gabe Tiriseemed to have the edge on thewest’s Lev Jackson.

“Tiri was bigger and seemedmore polished, however Jacksonseemed like he wanted it more,”Allison said. “This was a battleand there was no doubt after thefinal bell [that] Jackson was now

a Canadian champion.”Three-time Canadian

champion Robert Couzensproved he is the real dealby defeating Jon Mauricioin a super middleweightmatch-up.

While the contest wascompetitive, Allison said“it was clearly Couzens’fight.”

Due to cancellations atheavyweight and lightheavyweight, bouts saw

two eastern boxers and two westboxers square off against eachother in separate bouts in thosedivisions.

In the light heavyweightdivision Julian Kim and MartiAereola traded leather in a com-petitive bout that saw Aereolastart fast before the contestevened out.

…continued from page A22The decision went to Aereola.In the heavyweight division, two fight-

ers from the east tangled, with BobbySullivan defeating Sam Amro, who couldnot recover from a liver shot.

The women were in action and the eastand west split on this one.

Super featherweight Nicole Powankumarfrom the east defeated Kait Robinson ofthe west in a hard-fought bout.

The lightweight contest saw two experi-enced women square off.

Mandy Taylor, who comes from a box-ing family, represented the east and JenYagar was fighting for team west.

It was a very close fight and the judgescould not agree. The resulting split deci-sion went to Yager.

“It was a solid boxing match and thekind of match that shows how far womenhave evolved in the sport of boxing,”Allison said.

The event showed an enthusiastic groupof boxers who are fully committed to theWBC amateur system, opined Allison,president of Combsport (British ColumbiaCombative Sports Association)

“It is apparent that the only thing thatseparates the WBC from being the leaderin amateur boxing is time and exposure,”he added.

“It is simply a matter of getting back tothe culture of boxing and away from thesterile atmosphere of IABA boxing. Theattempt of IABA to enter the pros and tryand make their brand of boxing excitingwill unlikely work. They simply don’t getit.”

Combsport, which hosted the event, hasa T-shirt that reads “you don’t play box-ing,”

“The IABA brain trust may want thinkabout those words,” Allison said. “Boxingis back and the WBC is now on the scenein amateur boxing.”

The second periodremainedgoal-lessuntilSurrey’sBrettMulcahyscored ona power-play tomake it4-1.

Cue thecomeback.

During the third period,Forney and Nathan Craftscored to tie the game at4-4.

Craft’s marker camewith 19 seconds remainingin regulation.
