A Murrayville family ispacking up and heading toAfrica for charity work.by Heather Colpittshcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

A Langley family is hoping lotsof people join them for a Sundaystroll on Aug. 10.

They’ve enlisted help from theirchurch, St. Joseph’s Catholic,and is hoping the public will helpwith this fundraiser.

They have a goal of raising$25,000, funds that will be usedby a charity in Kenya, where thefamily is moving to for two years.

The Dunns, Sarah, Michael, andtheir teens Rachel and Victoria,are about to go from the comfortsof a home in Murrayville and theconveniences of Canada to char-ity work in Kenya. (Oldest sonAustin is working construction inFort MacMurray so he will headover for visits.)

“We call it our Great CanadianFamily Gap Year,” said Sarah.

Some keepsakes have beenpacked away in storage and thefamily sets off in early August.

Right now there’s excitement,anxiety and fatigue, but the fourare anxious to return to Africaand help at the Crisis Centre ForCarers (CCC) in Mombasa.

“We’re going to see firsthandwhere the money goes and theimpact,” Sarah said.

She and Michael decided thiswas an opportune time. Theydidn’t want to be too old to doserious charity work but hesitatedwhile the kids were small.

“It’s been on our radar for along time,” Sarah explained.

They are following the lead ofPope Francis who has shaken upthe papacy through humble butforceful initiatives such as hisInternational Campaign of OneHuman Family, Food for All cam-paign.

The Dunns went to Africaon an extended vacation sev-eral months ago, giving them achance to suss out the possibil-ities.

It was also a chance to meetMama Rosa, who runs the CrisisCenter for Carers, founded in2001.

“It’s not just about anotherdollar for Africa,” Michael said.“They want to be self-sufficient.”

The centre is about helpingpeople set up small businesses orfarms so they can be self sustain-ing. There’s also counselling forthose dealing with trauma or helpfor grandparents raising grand-children because the parents havedied of HIV/AIDs. The middleages of the African population

has been hard hit by the disease,leaving many seniors raising chil-dren.

CCC is there to help those whocare for others, whether it’s jobskills or life skills. The Dunnsalso like the fact that those whoreceive help from CCC must inturn volunteer with it and helpothers.

The Dunns will be living inNairobi and covering their owncosts so that all the donations cango to the CCC.

Sarah and Michael will be find-ing jobs over in Africa so theypose no drain on the charity theywant to help.

Michael is on leave from theSurrey RCMP and Sarah workedfor TD Canada Trust. They willbring their job skills to this newchapter in their lives.

Sarah said she will have a lotto learn about business in Africa,but hopes to use her businessknowledge to help the clients ofCCC be more successful.

Victoria, 13, and 16-year-oldRachel have been registered inan international school in Nairobiwhere the family will live.

While sad to leave friends herewhere they attended LangleyFundamental, they are lookingforward to going.

“I’m totally up for the adven-

ture,” said Rachel. “Somethinggood will always come out of it.It’s not going to be easy and it’sgoing to be emotionally drain-ing but you get so much more inreturn.”

Victoria admits to mixed emo-tions but is looking forward tohelping others.

Taking on new challengesseems to be part of their DNA.Sarah was born in Africa andspent her formative years inEngland before spending most ofher life in Canada. Sarah’s moth-er, a pilot and flight instructor,has lived in Africa for more thanfour decades, and resided variouscountries during her life.

A teenaged girl was attackedon a path behind ClaytonHeights Secondary in broaddaylight last week, say SurreyRCMP.

The man put hisarm around thegirl’s neck and shescreamed. He let hergo and ran away tothe north.

Police foot patrols,including search-ing by Police DogServices officers,failed to find him.

After speaking tothe victim and otherwitnesses, Carr saidthe man is believedto be a white malein his mid-30s, 6’0” tall, with amedium build and dark hair.

At the time of the attack, hewas wearing a rust or tan col-oured tank top, black shorts, and

The latest wire theft to hitLangley came in the early mor-ning hours of July 29th, andpolice are looking for witnesses.

Sometime around 3:30 a.m.,a thief or thieves removedTelus phone lines from the area

around the intersection of 224thStreet and 16th Avenue, saidSgt. Ravi Pawar of the LangleyRCMP.

Telus had already installedfibre optic lines in the region,but hadn’t yet removed its oldcopper wire.

The thieves took several blocksworth of wire, said Pawar.

The police and Telus officialsare now actively investigatingthe theft.

The RCMP was alerted to

the theft while it was still inprogress because the line wasalarmed. Although officers whoresponded didn’t catch the wirethieves in the act, they did findsome evidence that they hopewill lead to arrests, said Pawar.

Townshiplooks intodrug houseby Matthew Claxtonmclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Now that the RCMP havepacked up, Langley Townshipwill be taking a look at thehouse where almost $400,000worth of illegal drugs werefound.

The July raid by theCombined Forces SpecialEnforcement Unit (CFSEU)found almost $400,000 worthof drugs.

Three men, described ashigh-ranking members of theAldergrove-based 856 gang,were arrested and may facecharges.

“It’s been brought to ourattention because of the raid,”said Bill Storie, the head ofBylaw Enforcement for theTownship.

The house, in the 4600block of 236th Street, wasdescribed as a sizeable build-ing of approximately 10,000square feet. Police found itdivided up into suites inside.

Storie noted that theTownship only allows a max-imum of one suite for singlefamily homes. The building iscertainly not in an area zonedfor any kind of apartmentbuilding.

School crowding, park vandalism,and rodents were on the mind ofTownship council.by Matthew Claxtonmclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley Township council voted to takea second look at a planned developmentat the base of the Willoughby Slope.

Portrait Homes wants to build acomplex with two five-storey build-ings containing 120 apartments, almost5,000 square feet of commercial spaceand 13,690 square feet of office space.Another 91 townhouse units would backup the slopes from 65th Avenue. Theproperty is a triangular piece of land eastof 204th Street across the street from theTownship Civic Facility.

At a public hearing in July, theTownship heard from a number of localresidents who were concerned with theproject. Many of the issues raised areheard frequently in Willoughby – therewere fears about a lack of parking fornew residents, and about more childrenhaving to pack into already crowded localschools.

Several neighbours also mentionedthere seems to be a rat problem in theneighbourhood, and worried about lossof property values, density, crime, and alack of park space for residents.

Developers tried to assuage some ofthose fears, in particular pointing to thefact that they will be putting in more vis-itor parking than the site requires, includ-ing using the commercial parking forvisitors in the evenings.

Part of the lack of parks in the areacould be solved by the creation of a$175,000 new park on Township ownedland to the north of 66th Avenue.

The developers will contribute $100,000of that cost if the project goes ahead.

Township councillors talked of dealingwith some of the issues right away, whileletting staff take a look at other concerns.

The referal was suggested by CouncillorKim Richter, who said there are a hostof issues to look at, from a possiblecrosswalk to whether there needs to be asurvey of the neighbouring homes’ foun-dations.

She also mentioned looking at rules forwhen construction is allowed. A seniorshome is directly to the west of the site.

Coun. Charlie Fox voted for the referral,but was broadly in favour of the project ifsome of the issues are dealt with.

“What does the neighbourhood trulywant there?” he said. If the mixeddevelopment doesn’t go through, the landcould be developed for light industrialuses, which he suggested wouldn’t bemuch fun for the neighbours.

Also in favour of dealing with the ratquestion and other issues right away wasCoun. Bob Long.

“I think the rat situation should beaddressed right away,” Long said. “Let’sget the Pied Piper out there and get rid ofthe rats right away.”

After the referral of the rezoning, thecouncil voted to look at four issues raisedimmediately, including rats, damage toa nearby skateboard park, and someschool-related issues.

The matter won’t come back beforethe Township council until they resumemeeting in September.

The Penny Pincher isgoing from tenant toproperty owner.by Matthew Claxtonmclaxton@langleyadvance.com

One of Langley’s old-est thrift shops is moving,which means good thingsfor the Hospital Auxiliary,and a move for theLangley Arts Council.

The Penny Pincher ismoving from its currentlocation in the 20200 blockof 56th Avenue to a newhome at 20550 FraserHwy.

The big change isn’t inlocation, but in ownership.The Langley MemorialHospital Auxiliary is buy-ing the former bank build-ing as a new permanenthome for its thrift store.

“We’re pretty excitedabout it,” said DianeThornton, LMH Auxiliarypresident.

The auxiliary has beensaving for the move sincethey started a build-ing fund in 2007, saidThornton.

The idea was to quitrenting, to eventually payoff the mortgage on a newbuilding, and to then beable to put more money

into the hospital itself.“We figure it’s also a

good long-term investmentfor the auxiliary,” saidThornton.

The auxiliary managedto save enough for thedown payment while stillputting aside cash for theexpansion of the hospital.They recently contributedhalf a million dollars tothe new maternity wing.

The new location, onthe one-way section ofFraser Highway, will bemore accessible to bothcustomers and the volun-teers who staff the PennyPincher, Thornton hopes.

While the Auxiliary islooking forward to its newdigs, it means a moveaway for the Langley ArtsCouncil, which has operat-ed there for several years,showing art and hostingevents.

The Arts Council willhave to find a new loca-tion by the end of theyear, as they are expect-

ing to depart betweenNovember and the end ofDecember, said LAC headDiane Gendron Cooney.

“We are looking for anew space and we areopen to many differentpossibilities – all the wayfrom just office space tospace in which we canhave a gallery, studios andgift shop, as well,” saidCooney.

She said the LAC would

prefer to have a spacewhere they can continueto invite the public, andcan exhibit artworks bymembers, host musicalevenings, and offer work-shops.

“It has been an amaz-ing opportunity for theLangley Arts Council tobe in this space,” saidCooney, who said it willbe sad leaving behind thebuilding.

The indelible memory of my 12-year educa-tional journey, pre-college, came during its finalsteps, as I shuffled off the stage at my highschool graduation ceremony, my right handclutching a diploma.

In the front row, a few chairs to the right ofthe stage, sat my Grade 12 English teacher.

The enthusiasm, the pride he felt for amilquetoast teenager – a mop-haired kid whofused into the high school’s cream-colouredwalls during his four years there – was palp-able.

“Good on you, Mr. Landreville!” he shoutedthrough his thick Eastern European accent.“Good on you!”

This teacher’s features were as rich as hispersonality. White hair that looked like cottonballs formed a frizzy ring around his otherwisebald head. He had thick lips, pale skin, and aprominent nose towing glasses that throughsome miracle clung precariously to the tip ofit. He alternated between what I believed to bethe same rumpled pair of brown and grey suits.The man was a grizzled veteran of the educa-tion wars, and he earned respect, maybe notfrom each and every one of his students, butdefinitely from his peers.

On my graduation day, he seemed muchmore excited about me surviving high schoolthan my folks were (I wouldn’t say I lived in abroken home, but the cracks were visible).

He made an impression on me simplybecause he cared.

But aside from a few bright moments in hisclassroom, I was a ghost in my high school,and I’m certain a fair number of my teachers inthe mid-’80s would have been at a loss if askedto place a name to my face.

Really, I wouldn’t have blamed them.For my favourite high school teacher, and for

the dozens of dedicated, passionate teachers

I’ve encountered in Langley, Maple Ridge, andChilliwack during a career in journalism thathas spanned 23 years (and, hopefully, count-ing) I feel a degree of sympathy as the labourdispute between the B.C. Teachers Federationand the government drags into August.

Most teachers don’t choose their profession tobecome rich.

The average teacher’s salary in B.C. is about$72,000 a year, not exactly chump change, butreasonable considering the amount of schoolingrequired to become an educator. And teachers’pay in this province starts as low as $38,000.

In my experience, I’ve seen most earn theirsalary; I’ve also found that they’re not infalli-ble. Like any profession, there’s the good, thebad, and the apathetic.

My Grade 6 teacher lost her composure onewinter’s afternoon, swiping my books, papers,and lunch off my desk. Then, with an exasper-ated howl she pushed the front of my desk,with me attached to it, sending me careeningbackwards. The back of my head bounced offthe classroom floor. Upset about the clutter Iworked around every day, she ordered me tospend the rest of the afternoon sitting on thefloor.

Three years later, I watched my Grade 9French teacher dissolve at the front of her class-room.

Incessant heckling of a few children, ledby a bully who resembled the love child of afemale version of Mad magazine mascot AlfredE. Newman and the toothless hillbilly foil fromDeliverance, got to her. She was reduced totears.

There are teachers who weather this kindof abuse from children, and a few obsessiveparents. But the majority of them plug along,searching for that payoff, of seeing the “light”come on, the satisfaction of knowing theypassed along knowledge that found a way tostick in a kid’s grey matter.

That’s why they teach.That’s why they’re role models to many.That’s what makes the job they do so import-

ant.And that’s why I still hold fond memories of

my beloved English teacher.

OpinionOur View

Paying parentsstill not a plan

The new plan by the province to pay par-ents $40 a day per child for every day theteachers’ strike drags on into September isnot the worst idea in the world. Yes, manyparents need financial help with findingchild care.

Of course, it would be better for everyone– parents, teachers, government, and espe-cially kids – if the government was focusedon actually ending the strike.

It seems that the teachers were expect-ing that the cash saved by the strike wouldeventually be plowed back into educationin this province, at least partially meetingtheir demands for smaller class sizes, bettersupport for special needs kids, and a salarybump.

So giving the money away might bepopular with parents in the short term. Inthe long run, it will likely be less popular, ifit stretches out the strike. That $40 per kidonly goes so far.

It is nice to see that, after a month ofinaction, both sides are going back to thebargaining table Aug. 8.

This time they need to stay there andmake peace, one way or another. Takethe bargaining teams out for a VancouverCanadians game and a couple of beers tomake them friendlier. Buy a steel shippingcontainer and lock them inside in the hotsun until they crack and compromise. Payfor a horde of conflict-resolution experts.

At this point, maybe some marriagecounselling? The whole battle has becomeso vicious it seems more like a drawn outdivorce than contract talks.

Our biggest question isn’t why are thegovernment and teachers still at eachother’s throats, but why did it take until thislong to finally get everyone to come backand start talking again?

Summer school may have been largelycancelled, but both sides in this disputeshould still have their backsides in seats andtheir pencils sharpened. Keep them thereuntil they graduate to a new contract.

Tue sday, Augu s t 5 , 2014 A7Letters to the EditorLangleyAdvance

Dear Editor,People who are adamantly protesting

the Northern Gateway pipeline’s tentativeapproval seem to forget one very importantthing. Both the Canadian National and theCanadian Pacific Railways are ready to use“unit trains,” similar to the coal trains thatrumble along to the Roberts Bank superport, but instead of coal, the trains willbe bringing the Alberta tar sands – bitu-men crude – to Kitimat or to WestridgeTerminals in Burnaby.

Everyone recognizes the potentialnegative consequences of an oceanspill, but could we imagine the cat-astrophic results of one 70,000 litrerail car, or 100 of those rail cars allat once derailing along the SkeenaRiver or the Fraser River – a scenar-io with undoubtedly severe immedi-ate consequence.

The use of trains instead of a pipe-line brings a greater chance of a disasterequal to any ocean oil spill.

Our group can say this with some degreeof knowledge, because we live with an oilpipeline on our land and many of us havefor a very long time, that the pipeline is afar safer mode of transportation, comparedto rail.

One only needs to look at last year’s LacMegantic derailment disaster as an exampleof devastation shipping oil by rail.

We are part of the Collaborative Group ofLandowners Affected by Pipelines (CGLAP).

Instead of attempting to halt the construc-tion of pipeline expansion, we are hold-ing Trans Mountain and its parent KinderMorgan to the highest standard of construc-tion ever seen in Canada.

CGLAP will ensure that this new pipe-line will meet and exceed standards, we as

farmers and landowners here in Canada’sbreadbasket have set out with the NEBwhat must be met prior to construction.

CGLAP will also ensure accountability tobuild the new pipeline with the object ofresponsibility not only to CGLAP members,but every resident of the Fraser Valley.

There are approximately 2,200 land-owners along the 1,150-kilometre pipelineroute between Edmonton and Vancouver.

The 60 members of CGLAP are directlyaffected people. Many have lived with the

pipeline for a long time. The old 24-inch line has brought millions of bar-rels of oil from Alberta to the WestCoast, with very little drama over its62 years.

As directly affected landowners,we do not look upon Kinder Morganas adversaries, even though theTrans Mountain pipeline has been

and is continuing to be a burden tous. CGLAP holds out the theory that if abusiness rents or leases a warehouse tostore or facilitate the movement of goods,the expediter would need to pay that ware-house owner rent for the use of the facili-ties. Therefore, in CGLAP’s opinion, KinderMorgan needs to pay rent to the 2,200warehouses along the pipeline to get theirproduct to market.

CGLAP’s end objective going forwardis to make sure every directly affectedCGLAP member is treated fairly, and KinderMorgan shows respect to each of us duringand after the construction phase of the new,larger pipe.

At the end of the project, we hope tobe valued business partners with KinderMorgan, and not just a faceless thorough-fare.

Brian Kingman, CGLAP

Lettersto the

Editor

Dear Editor,In “Vanishing Vancouver”

many large and small old-fashioned buildings arebeing demolished to makeway for palatial homes.

This would appear tosome to be wasteful andagainst environmental and

heritage ideals.The other concern that

we are hearing refers to thedestruction of the “past” tomake way for the presentand future development.

In Fort Langley, we arewelcoming development.

The old village, with its

quaint shops and art gal-leries, is being changed toaccommodate the burgeon-ing population and manytourists.

Unique in the history ofB.C., it is important thatFort Langley retains theatmosphere of the past asan educational and recrea-tional destination.

Langley Township hadexperts, community plan-ners, and staff work withthe community to create anofficial Community Plan andHeritage Guidelines.

After the plans wererejected as non-conformingby the Township plannersand much community input,the council voted to allowspot zoning for a building.

The Coulter Berry build-ing planned for the cornerof Glover Road and MavisAvenue will dwarf the com-munity hall, “the heart ofthe village”.

The decision, challengedin Supreme Court, may set adangerous precedent.

Bays Blackhall, Langley

Vanishing Van a lesson for Langley

Development

Remember come electionDear Editor,

As it is apparent that the fall election campaign rhetorichas started, I would like to counter some comments fromMayor Jack Froese regarding his intentions to seek re-elec-tion [Froese running, June 24, Langley Advance].

Froese has said council has shown it listens when peoplehave concerns, citing the Glen Valley land sale whichcaused a furor but ended with a portion of municipal landbeing declared a park, and another portion sold to TrinityWestern University, and set aside as a conservation area.

As a supporter and admirer of the Watchers of LangleyForest (WOLF), I find it ironic and frankly distasteful toread that a new and more positive political spin has beengiven to the Township’s decision to remove Glen Valleylands from the chopping block.

Council only chose to “listen to the people” when WOLFand their many community supporters brought the sale tothe attention of the local, national and international media.

The media assault finally forced the Township to seek acompromise which was still in play when the offer of theBlaauw family to purchase resolved the matter.

The McLellan Park designation was a capitulation more orless in light of the threat of more embarrassing lobbying byWOLF. I would strongly encourage voters to check the factsbefore November, in order to decide who should be electedto steer the Township for the next four years.

David Denyer, Langley

Aviation fans from aroundthe province will get tosee history flying into theircommunities.

by Matthew Claxtonmclaxton@langleyadvance.com

When you’ve got a museumfull of airplanes, your displaysare a bit more mobile.

A recent $40,000 provincialgrant to Langley’s CanadianMuseum of Flight will allow themuseum to reach out to smallercommunities around the prov-ince.

The idea sprang from a one-off visit to Alert Bay with oneof the museum’s prized restoredaircraft.

The 1937 Waco AQC-6 biplanebelonged to Dr. Jack Pickup,who used it to visit patients andtravel to remote areas of theprovince.

Though based out of Alert Bayfor decades, Pickup’s practicetook him to many remote inletson Vancouver Island and the

mainland, where he would treatinjured and sick loggers, fisher-men, and First Nations people.Pickup flew the aircraft for 20years, and then in 1980 donatedit to the museum.

When the museum was askedto bring the Waco back to AlertBay, it arrived to an amazingreception.

“We just had a super time,”said Terry Brunner, the managerof the museum. “There was amillion stories floating around.”

Among the people who turnedout to see the restored Wacowere Sam and Peggy Hobbs. Inthe 1950s, Peggy had served asDr. Pickup’s OR nurse, whileSam was the town RCMP officer.

The visit has inspired theoutreach program, which willsee museum staff and volun-teers taking their aircraft out toother communities up and downthe coast, from Pemberton toLillooet to Lytton.

A variety of aircraft willbe taking to the skies, as themuseum has several flight-worthy vehicles.

One that will be featured quitea bit this year is their replica

Sopwith Camel.The Camel is one of the most

famous fighter planes of theFirst World War, and with theanniversary of the start of the

war taking place this summer,it’s a physical reminder of therole aviation and Canadian pilotsplayed in the conflict.

The museum’s replica Sopwithwas built using original blue-prints and is fully to scale.

The $40,000 grant that willhelp get this program off theground came from provincialgaming funds.

“We are veryfortunate tohave CanadianMuseum of Flightlocated at LangleyAirport,” saidLangley MLAMary Polak. “It’sa unique facil-ity and with some pretty rareaircraft that can’t be seen any-where else.”

Aside from using it to reachout to the rest of the province,Brunner is hoping that themuseum can do some workboosting its profile locally.

He said that one of the oddthings about running a museumwith many rare aircraft is that

some people make the trip fromoverseas just to see them, whilemany Lower Mainland resi-dents have never heard of themuseum.

The museum’s Handley PageHampden bomber, for example,is one of only two in existence.

The rusted carcass of thebomber, a twin-engined mediumbomber used during the early

days of WorldWar Two, washauled off thesea floor in 1989.It crashed offthe B.C. coastwhile on a train-ing flight in the1940s.

Most of the Hampdens weredestroyed during the war orscrapped as they were replacedby more advanced aircraft.

People hoping to see therestored Hampden or othervehicles have come from as faraway as Europe.

The Museum of Flight islocated at the Langley RegionalAirport.

The Pearl of Africaseries creator and twoUgandan players visitedWalnut Grove.

by Troy Landrevilletlandreville@langleyadvance.com

On July 26, Pearl ofAfrica Series coordinatorRuth Hoffman returned toLangley, the place wherethe international goodwillbaseball program took rootback in 2011.

During the 2014Provincial Little LeagueChampionship, Hoffmanhad a tent set up atWalnut Grove Park’sGeorge Zarrelli MajorsDiamond to promote Pearlof Africa 2.

Joining her wasRosemary Jopaowitt andEsther Nakabugo, a pair ofUganadan players who aretraining to be coaches.

The B.C. championshipfor 11/12 Majors teamswrapped up Mondaywith the final pittingWhite Rock against South

Vancouver.Baseball brought

Hoffman to Africa tohelp children in Ugandathrough the power ofsport.

In 2012 the CanadianLittle League championsfrom Langley joined withRight To Play for the Pearlof Africa Series in supportof the Uganda Baseballand Softball Association.

They went to Uganda toplay the Ugandan cham-pions – in the game thatshould have been playedat the Little League World

Series in the U.S.The Ugandan team had

won the right to competeat the 2011 World Series.

This would have beenthe first time an Africanteam had earned the rightto participate – and itwould have been a trip ofa lifetime for those 11- and12 year-olds. Their firstgame would have beenagainst the Canadian teamfrom Langley.

But these dreams weredashed when the U.S.State Department wasforced to deny travel visas

due to documentationissues. Their story gal-vanized supporters fromaround the world and thePearl of Africa Series wasborn.

A total of $155,000 wasraised and for three pro-jects: education, fields andplayer transportation. Plus,more than 1,000 kilogramsof equipment was collect-ed from across Canada.

Pearl of Africa Series 2has a modest fundraisinggoal of $35,000.

Funds raised will:• create a professional

coaching program;• develop expertise in

videography and field con-struction;

• replenish the playertransportation fund for2014 and 2015;

• send donated equip-ment to Uganda; and

• create opportunities

for children in Canada tolearn the joy of giving.

One of the UBASA’sgreatest needs is toimprove their coachingcapacity. Jopaowitt andNakabugo are in Canadafor four months of trainingand two baseball coachesfrom Play Global and LittleLeague Canada will runclinics in Uganda and pro-vide remote mentoring fortwo years.

Videographer trainingScouting videos were

made for the first time in2012. They documentedthe success of UBASA andproved to be an excellenttraining tool. One expertwill go to Uganda to shootthe next round of videosand train coaches. Thesevideos will eventuallyopen doors to scholarshipsand professional contracts.

There are several fields in Ugandaunder development, and UBASA needsexpert advice to ensure proper construc-tion and maintenance. One expert will goto Uganda to assess conditions, provideon-site training and produce documenta-tion to guide donors and UBASA.

Player transportation supportThe first Pearl of Africa series raised

funds for transportation, enabling UBASAto schedule regular games for 2012 and2013. Previously, children came out for

practice, but couldn’t afford bus fare totravel to play other teams. The oppor-tunity to play competitively has madea world of difference: the skill level hasimproved, more players are joining, andthe media is taking notice.

Pearl of Africa 2 will replenish thetransportation fund.

Donated equipmentCommunities throughout the Lower

Getting the Seniors Gamesto run smoothly meansfinding volunteers.by Matthew Claxtonmclaxton@langleyadvance.com

With five weeks togo until the BC SeniorsGames roll into Langley,one of the biggest hurdleswill be finding all the vol-unteers needed.

About 1,500 volunteersare needed, and morewould always be help-ful. Right now, the localorganizers can rely on 750,putting them halfway totheir goal.

Spearheading thedrive for the volunteersis Johanne Caron, wholike almost everyone elseinvolved in planning therunning the games, is avolunteer herself.

A retired Coast Capitalemployee, she had previ-

ously worked on the creditunion’s annual charity golftournament.

She also had experiencewith helping out with theBC Summer Games inSurrey in 2012.

Thanks to her experi-ence, a friend who is adirector with the SeniorsGames asked her if shecould help out.

It’s been an interestingjob for Caron.

“Thoughwe have alot of seniorvolunteers,it’s not allseniors,”Caronnoted.

Studentsare anotherbig source of volunteers,especially but not exclu-sively high school studentswho need to gain somevolunteer experience fortheir coursework.

The Seniors Games

are reaching out througheverything from RotaryClub meetings to boothsat public events like MayDay to find more people tohelp out.

Caron said there are ahost of areas where vol-unteers can contribute,including:

• At the 25 sports withsetting up and manag-ing the events during theactual competitions

• At theopeningceremonies.

• At thebanquets

• Asmedicalvolunteersprovidingfirst aid

• As hosts• As security• At concessions• At accreditationSome volunteers will be

needed in the days leadingup to the games, others

only for the game days.Jobs range from some

manual labour outdoors tohelping out with adminis-trative tasks inside.

“Even if you can onlyvolunteer for four hours,we’ll find something,” saidCaron.

Many volunteer shiftswill be four or eight hourslong.

As a volunteer herself,Caron knows that it’sworthwhile.

“It is rewarding, defin-itely,” she said. “You getto help people, and it’s anaccomplishment.”

To sign up as a volun-teer or for more informa-tion, call the games officeat 604-533-8065, or emailvolunteer@2014bcsg.com.Volunteers can sign uponline or by phone or fax.

You can also contactCaron directly at 604-880-4841.

The games run fromSept. 9-13.

A 2012 Olympian, DorothyLudwig had an impressiveshowing in Glasgow,Scotland recently.by Troy Landrevillesports@langleyadvance.com

Dorothy Ludwig has addedanother international medal toher already impressive collection.

The 35-year-old Langleyresident captured individualbronze in the women’s 10mair pistol competition at theCommonwealth Games inGlasgow, Scotland.

Ludwig’s kid sister, 33-year-oldLynda Kiejko, finished in fifthplace.

The shooting events were heldat a satellite village in Dundee.

“It was amazing, it’s alwaysamazing,” Ludwig said. “Thevolunteers are fabulous, thecompetitors are amazing, andthe weather was gorgeous. Itreally cooperated while we werethere.”

This bronze is Ludwig’s fourthCommonwealth medal.

At the 2002 Games inManchester, England she tookindividual silver and team gold,and in 2010 in Delhi, India shewas part of Canada’s bronzemedal-winning team.

At this year’s Games, the teamcompetition didn’t exist, other-wise, Ludwig said she wouldhave come home with two med-als.

Making her latest medal evenmore impressive is the fact she’sjuggling shoot-ing practicewith a full-timejob and beinga mom to twoyoung boys,Erden, three,and Emmet,one.

“It’s harderbecause I don’ttrain quite as often now that Ihave two little kids at home,”Ludwig said. “I find getting into

the range is more difficult, find-ing extra time ismore difficult.”

But there’s nosubstitute forexperience, some-thing Ludwig hasin abundance.

Ludwig’s careermirrors that of herfather, the lateBill Hare, who

competed in shooting events atthe 1964, ‘68 and ‘72 OlympicGames.

Ludwig realized her ownOlympic dream in 2012 whenshe shot for Canada at theLondon Olympics, finishing 34thin women’s 10-metre air pistol.

“The opportunity to attend theOlympics was extremely reward-ing, and I know I had my family,friends and community behindme,” Ludwig said after return-ing from the Games in 2012. “Itwas a real thrill to be able to livewith, train with, and compete

with the best in the world, andI put my best effort in and wasable to come home smiling.”

Nationally and internationally,she’s been on target.

Last August, Ludwig, whotrains at the Langley Rod & GunClub, won the women’s air pis-tol title at the 2013 Canadiannational pistol championship inCalgary.

This was the eighth nationaltitle for Ludwig, who previously

accomplished this feat in 2012,‘11, ‘08, ‘07, ‘06, ‘04, and ‘03.

And in 2011, she placed first(individual competition) at theCanadian national champion-ships to earn her spot on TeamCanada for the Pan AmericanGames in Guadalajara, whereshe won gold and secured anOlympic quota spot for the 2012Games in London.

In Glasgow, shooters had40 shots in qualification andbetween eight and 20 shotsin the elimination finals.Competitors shot at an electronictarget with a bulls-eye centre.

“I did very well,” Ludwigsaid. “The finals have changedbecause it’s more of an elim-ination process, so you have tocontinue to shoot your best oryou’re eliminated.”

Looking towards the 2016Olympic Games in Rio deJaneiro, Brazil, Ludwig is mak-ing a bid to become a two-timeOlympian.

However, not only are thereplenty of talented shooters inCanada vying for an Olympicberth, but the question will be,will this nation be able to win aquota spot for the Olympics?

“That’s always the really,really challenging spot for us,”Ludwig said.

As well, Ludwig won’t be com-peting at the world champion-ships in Spain. She’s qualifiedto compete but doesn’t have thefunds to go there due to familycommitments.

“I can’t afford to go, to havemy kids in day care, and notbe working, yeah, it’s just tooexpensive,” she said.

This isn’t the end. Ludwigplans on competing for a longtime.

“It’s been a part of my life forso long, and part of my dad’slife,” Ludwig said.

“We’ve come to identify a littlebit with it, and just to enjoy it.For me, it’s hard to let go of that.It’s just something I’ve donefor so long. You keep doing itbecause you’re good at it, youenjoy it.”

Led by Alex Turner’s six-point night on three goalsand three assists, the Thunder edged the visitingNanaimo Timbermen 10-8 last Wednesday, July 30 atthe Langley Events Centre to put a cap on their season.

The second period was key for the Thunder, who out-scored the Timbermen 6-2 during the stanza.

It gave Langley the breathing room to survive a roughfinal frame, as the Timbermen scored five times andonly allowed two against, but didn’t have enough timeor firepower to complete the comeback.

The teams entered the first intermission tied 1-1.Athan Iannucci scored goals in the first and third

periods for the home team. Also scoring twice for theThunder was Daniel McQuade.

Tyler Melynk scored once and added three assistsfor Langley. Brendan Mykle-Winkler and Cam Coplandrounded out the list of Thunder goal-scorers. Langley’sTom Johnson collected three helpers.

Mitch Parker led Nanaimo with a hat trick.FINAL BUZZER: At press time Friday (early due to

the long weekend), defending WLA champion VictoriaShamrocks led the regular season standings with a 13-2-2 record, with one game to go in their season.
