Superheroes ban together for super kids
Photo contributed
Captain America (pictured above) and other crowd favourites such as Spiderman, Thor, the Joker and Batman were in Langford on Sunday to help children through fun, interactive games.
The wind didn't put a stop to last Sunday's Super Summer Kids Day at Westhills Stadium in Langford. The event, hosted by Superheroes of Victoria, paired with generous private donations, raised $3,500 in support of the B.C. Children's Hospital Foundation.
Langford Mayor Stew Young was on hand to throw the first bean bag at the dunk tank, sending Mark Ashfield, Superheroes of Victoria founder and director, looking for a towel.
Children weren't just able to interact with their favourite fictional superheroes, they were also able to hear about the day-to-day lives of some real-life heroes that work in the community. Firefighters, police officers and other first responders were on scene to share some of their own experiences and maybe inspire the next generation of local heroes.
Ashfield posted a heartfelt thank you on the group's Facebook page to everyone that lent a hand to make the event possible, including members of the West Shore RCMP, St. John Ambulance's youth program, View Royal Fire Rescue and the Westshore Rebels.

Westshore Rebels 45 — Valley Huskers 28
Joel Tansey/News Gazette staff
It was a blustery day at Westhills Stadium, but the Westshore Rebels didn't seem to mind.
"We run the ball, so it didn't really matter," said head coach J.C. Boice following his team's 45-28 B.C. Football Conference win over the Valley Huskers on Saturday night.
And run they did.
Jamel Lyles led the way for the Rebels with three TDs — two on the ground and one via a late first half punt return — and 272 yards rushing. As usual, Lyles was the beneficiary of some tremendous blocking up front, a fact that wasn't lost on the standout back, as he was quick to credit his line for his continued success.
On one of his many highlight reel runs, Lyles took a handoff and cut to the right side of the field before finding the left side of the field more to his liking. Lyles beat the bulk of the Huskers' defence to the opposite side of the field and waltzed into the end zone for a 40-yard score.
The Rebels' MVP could have had an even bigger game if not for some unfortunate penalties and appeared to show some frustration towards the end of the contest after having another touchdown called back.
"It's almost good frustration, because I know what our team is capable of and I set the standards high for everybody, not just myself," he said. "I do take it out sometimes in the wrong way, but they know that it's not like that and they have high expectations for themselves too."
Rebels quarterback Ashton Mackinnon and receiver Nathaniel Pinto had scores of their own in what was another dominant offensive showing for the Rebels, despite the penalty trouble.
While the ground game continued to roll, Boice did express some frustration with his team's aerial attack: "We've got a lot of work to do with our quarterbacks. Our receivers are winning routs and we've just gotta come out and do a better job of throwing the ball," he said.
The Huskers stayed with Westshore in the opening half, with signal caller Noah Falconer making use of a tailwind to find several receivers on deep passes, but Westshore was able to halt the Valley offence after the first quarter. The Huskers managed 14 points in the game's opening 15 minutes, but would score just 14 more the rest of the way, including a late TD with the game already out of reach.
It was a potential trap game for the favoured Rebels, who had to avoid looking ahead to their Sept. 10 matchup with the league-leading Okanagan Sun, but Boice had a different take.
"Every game for us is a trap game. We're young and we're learning how to win. We're re-establishing a culture of excellence ... Every week is a fight ..."
"It felt like our kids responded," he said.

Standings (after last weekend's play)
| Team | Record |
|---|---|
| Okanagan Sun | 6-0 |
| Westshore Rebels | 5-1 |
| Langley Rams | 4-2 |
| Vancouver Island Raiders | 3-3 |
| Kamloops Broncos | 0-6 |
| Valley Huskers | 0-6 |
The Rebels and the rest of the BCFC are idle Labour Day weekend, and then they'll take the field in the all-important rematch with the Sun. In their previous matchup in Kelowna, the Rebels let the game slip away in a narrow 27-21 loss.
Western Speedway recap — Big Rig Weekend and other results
Cole Sorenson / Gazette contributor
Last weekend Western Speedway played host to the Wilson and Proctor Big Rig Weekend, featuring the North American Big Rigs, LORDCO Auto Parts Demo Series, Nemc Financial Claimers and an exhibition from Richlock Rentals Capital Drift.
The Big Rig main event was the highlight of the evening, with Jager Berdahl and Kevin McMeltan leading the field to the green. Ron Singer would jump from the second row to the front on lap three before pulling into the pits with engine trouble. Isaac Harder inherited the lead, with Darren Berdahl hot on his heels, but Berdahl would lose an fuel line with 20 laps to go, bringing out the only caution in the race. Harder went on to dominate the rest of the main event, crossing the line ahead of Glen Creed, Cory Riplinger, Cole Wiesner and Kevin McMeltan, in that order.
