Al Wright calls for second look into son’s shooting Victim’s father wants Langley RCMP officer to be tried in criminal court MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

The file on the shooting death of Alvin Wright at the hands of the Langley RCMP may be re-opened. That’s the hope of Wright’s father Al. Wright is anxiously awaiting a response from the Office of the Police Complaint Commission to see if it will re-open its review into his son’s death after new information was revealed and recommendations to police made at the coroner’s inquest.

Just prior to the inquest into Wright’s death, the OPCC had cleared the Langley RCMP of any wrongdoing but said it was willing to re-open the case if new information came to light.

“The OPCC invited the Wright family to get back to them after the Inquest, and now they have,” said David Eby, B.C. Civil Liberties Association lawyer for Al Wright. “The OPCC must not close this file until all of the evidence has been reviewed. They must ensure they’re makAl ing their decisions based on all of the Wright available information.”

For Wright, the inquest showed there was “a lot of evidence that leads to a lot of negligence on the police’s part.”

He has maintained that the shooting of his son should be a criminal case, where the officer has to be in a court of law.

“If this officer were a civilian, this file would have been sent to Crown counsel for them to assess whether charges should be laid.That’s how it works for everyone else but police,” he said. continued, PAGE 7

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

For the first time in decades, Langley will have a new golf course.

Pagoda Ridge, which boasts a unique 500foot Great Wall of China replica, is ready to open this summer at 7887 264 St. The acreage for Pagoda Ridge has been zoned for a golf course since 1992, but it was only recently that the property owners Lyall and Verna Brown started looking into building the full-length 18-hole course.

“Dad had this land for 45 years,” said the Brown’s son Larry, who is running the golf course. “Instead of selling the property, we thought we’d give a golf course a try.”

The Browns sold the Port Kells sawmill which they had owned for decades.

Terry Woodland is the creator of the course, which offers wide fairways, spanning views of the Fraser Valley and mountains, and bent grass on its 165 acres.

The course also features a Pagoda-style clubhouse and replica Chinese junk ship in a pond on the 9th and 18th hole.

“We built that all out of red cedar from our mill, as kind of a tribute to the family business,” said Larry.

The clubhouse is actually made out of an airplane hanger that his dad planned to use for his plane. He has since sold the plane.

“My parents originally planned to live on the property,” said Larry.

The idea to have a Chinese-themed golf course with the impressive Great Wall of China came from his parents, he said.

“I think the Great Wall makes us a little different than other golf courses. You can actually drive a cart onto the wall. It leads off to the 15th hole, which is par three,” said Larry.

The golf industry has been hurting over the past couple of years, between bad weather and the economy.

“It’s not a very good industry right now,” he said.

But he’s hoping golf will get back into the

Pagoda Ridge, a Chinese themed golf course complete with a replica Great Wall, will open in a matter of weeks at 7887 264 St. Several tournaments have already been scheduled, but the course is not yet booking individual tee times. swing of things.

Right now, he’s keeping his fingers crossed that the rain will stay away long enough to finish the last two holes. With a clay base, wet weather doesn’t help things, he said.

“Our first tournament is July 14, so we are doing a sun dance, yes.”

Already 10 tournaments are booked, with one of them being the Vancouver Players Championship in September.

The course isn’t booking tee times just yet, but hopes to some time soon.

There’s been plenty of interest already, Larry said.

“I’m taking phone calls every day with people asking to book a tee time,” he said.

The course plays just over 7,000 yards, with plenty of long holes and four tee decks with wide open fairways, for long drives.

A round of golf will be $55.

Right now, they are concentrating on getting the course open, but down the road they’d like to open a driving range to complement the course. They will have a small kitchen and pro shop.

A YouTube video of the course can be viewed by searching Pagoda Ridge golf course.

The course’s website can be found at www.pagodaridge.ca.

Township gives green light to new golf course NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Langley Township council has approved a development permit for Pagoda Ridge, the Asian-themed golf course in north Langley.

It has also approved a liquor application.

Featuring buildings with eaves that resemble pagodas, the Pagoda Ridge Golf Course covers more than 150 acres at 7887 — 264 St. Councillor Steve Ferguson was a member of Township council when he supported a golf course application for the property in 1988. Ferguson drew chuckles

from the audience at council when he reiterated his support.

Councillor Kim Richter wondered if there was a statute of limitations on applications such as the Pagoda golf course, which received the preliminary approval of the Agricultural Land Commission 24 years ago.

“ALC decisions do not have a sunset clause,” head planner Ramin Seifi advised. “They are valid in perpetuity.”

The 18-hole course is surrounded by agricultural/ rural properties, including Wagner Hills, a community care home for people with addictions.

The liquor licence is for two beverage carts, and one kiosk which is in a kitchen/snack building. No licensed interior or patio areas are proposed.

The development permit and liquor application were approved with only Richter and Councillor David Davis opposed.

Eric Woodward has a vision for Fort Langley.

The real estate investor and property manager, who owns a large stock of commercial property in the village, wants to see it become one of the premier weekend pedestrian destination spots for visitors from other parts of the Lower Mainland.

Woodward, who began investing in commercial real estate in Fort Langley in 2005, was recently elected president of the Fort Langley Business Improvement Area. He is in the midst of several upgrades to his Fort Langley properties, including a facelift and new parking lot for the Fort Mall property which houses the B.C. liquor store and several other tenants.

He also owns four commercial buildings north of the Fort Langley Community Hall, on the west side of Glover Road. He owns the former Frontier Building Supply building and recently bought the front half of the lot the Fort IGA stood on. He has a total of five commercial lots on the east

side of Glover Road.

He plans an extensive development on that side of the street, and expects to put an application into the Township sometime later this year or in 2013.

The Lee family retained the rest of the IGA lot, and are currently building a new store on it to replace the grocery store that was destroyed in an arson fire in January, 2011.

He didn’t deliberately set out to become a commercial land baron in Fort Langley, but he does have a deep interest in Langley in general, and Fort Langley in particular. He grew up in Langley and graduated from Langley Secondary School.

About 1990, he began a career in the tech industry and eventually started doing start-ups, at a time when there was intense investor interest in anything related to high tech. He began Internet Direct in 1994, and in 1996 cofounded Mail.com. That company completed an IPO in 1997-98, in what Woodward says was “a crazy time, before the market shook itself out.”

He made enough

Eric Woodward, owner of many commercial properties in Fort Langley, plans to make the village into a premier weekend destination spot. money from his ventures in that field to start looking at other investments, and after investigating what the future held for Fort Langley, started his real estate investing. At that time, Bedford Landing had been approved and work on the new Golden Ears Bridge was getting underway.

It was clear to him that the future in Fort Langley would be quite different. No longer would it be a town divided in two every

time a ferry arrived at the McMillan Island dock, and the Bedford development ensured there would be more local residents.

“A lot of people didn’t think (these changes) would be a good thing.

I thought it would be a great thing.”

Some of his early investments were properties that had been on the market for some time, and didn’t have the greatest tenants. continued, PAGE 5

Village will attract ‘an eclectic and unique mix of shops’ from, PAGE 4

where would the 25,000 new residents of Willoughby go to?”

He wants the new buildings he is planning to have retail space on the first floor and office space on the second floor. The retail units would not be large, but serve to attract unique niche businesses that will offer visitors an eclectic mix of shopping.

“I want to place more business and office space in Fort Langley.

I’d like to create a bit more of a business feel.”

Woodward has no problem with the strict facade guidelines that are in place in Fort Langley to give the commercial space a heritage look.

Given the Fort’s rich history, it makes perfect sense, he says.

However, “Fort Langley is still at

Some of the buildings were run down, and there was little apparent interest, which served to sharpen his investment antennae.

Woodward didn’t buy on a whim.

He looked into Township plans for the Fort Langley area and “literally sat and watched traffic for two days before I bought anything.”

After he bought several buildings on the west side of Glover, he looked for other opportunities. All along, his idea was that the buildings he owned should be put in good repair, and have unique tenants who would serve to attract visitors.

“Nobody from Abbotsford was going to make a day trip to 88 Avenue and 208 Street, and I asked

a crossroads. It is still a seasonal town. It does not generate a lot of revenue from January to March.

The onus is still on business owners to create a unique business and a following,” he says.

He cites Cranberries Naturally and Wendel’s as two very successful businesses that have created strong followings, with customers coming from many areas specifically to shop there.

He is hoping that other commercial property owners will buy into his vision to make the village far more appealing and pedestrianfriendly.

That’s what he would like to achieve as chair of the Fort Langley BIA. He wants to increase the number of visitors and have a spe-

time, I believe we will end up with an eclectic and unique mix of shops.

This is something that fractured ownership is unable to provide.”

Woodward acknowledges that there are challenges ahead — one of the biggest ones being a lack of parking in Fort Langley, particularly when there are major events underway.

“The Township needs to come up with some type of system to create parking.”

Woodward, who lives in Fort Langley, says “I’m here for the long term.”

He is excited about Fort Langley’s future and is glad he can play a part in making the village a more attractive and dynamic location for businesses.

cific strategy to attract day visitors from the south of Fraser area.

Woodward believes the pending tolls on the Port Mann Bridge create yet another opportunity to encourage more people south of the Fraser to visit Fort Langley.

He believes that some of the advantages he has, in being landlord at many buildings, is that he can work towards having a more complete mix of tenants.

He doesn’t want to rent to more than one tenant in a specific business sector — he wants them to do well, because when they do well, his buildings will stay full and the wider mix of businesses will attract more customers.

Where is your Green Can today?

An unhappy little red face will soon be seen on garbage cans throughout Langley Township — but residents can turn that frown upside down by using a Green Can. Last spring, the Township introduced its Green Can program, encouraging people who live in single family homes and receive municipal garbage collection to mix food scraps, bones, and soiled paper in with their yard trimmings.

By marking an 80-litre can with a Green Can sticker, food and yard waste is picked up from the curbside each week and composted, rather than sent to the landfill. “Food scraps account for 40 per cent of our garbage,� said Township solid waste co-ordinator Debbie Fleming, who

noted that additional steps are now being taken to enhance Green Can use.

To remind residents about the program, stickers featuring a sad red face asking ‘Where is your Green Can today?’ are being placed on garbage cans that are still being used for food scraps.

As well, information about

the Green Can and a disposal ban on food scraps has been included with tax notices sent out to Township residents. “Recycling and composting are less expensive to process than garbage, and they are better for the environment,�

Fleming said. “In 2011, Township residents composted over 6,700 tonnes of food scraps and yard trimmings. That’s a great start but we need to do more.

If we just take a few minutes to separate our waste, we can reduce disposal costs and help our environment. “Township staff will continue to make every effort to ensure residents have the information they need to get started,� Fleming said.

For more information, visit tol.ca/greencan.

A 17-year-old male from Langley is facing impaired driving charges following an accident on Othello Forestry Road in Hope on Saturday.

Hope RCMP were called out to the scene at about 7:45 p.m. and found a rolled-over Chevrolet Blazer with seven passengers.

Police said the group, who were in the area celebrating their upcoming graduation, suf-

fered non-life threatening injuries. “This is an accident that could have had a devastating impact on the community,� said Cst. Tracy Wolbeck. “We really can not be any more clear — drinking and driving do not mix.�

Crown counsel will be assessing several possible impaired driving charges against the driver.

‘This isn’t just for Alvin, it’s for the next child’ – Wright from PAGE 1

The BCCLA and Wright say that the OPCC report is deeply flawed, pointing to, for example, the OPCC’s conclusion that:“The manner in which witnesses were interviewed was fair and professional, utilizing appropriate interviewing style and technique.”

In fact, evidence at the inquest showed that a private conversation between Al Wright and his surviving son Alister, in which Al broke the news of Alvin’s death, was secretly recorded by the Langley RCMP without the family’s consent.

The transcript, from the early morning hours of Aug. 7, 2010, begins with Al, and reads: “(Crying) please don’t let him be gone.

Please (unintelligible). (Crying) oh my god.” Section 184 of the Criminal Code prohibits such recordings.

“The RCMP secretly and illegally recorded me and my son on the night of Alvin’s death as we cried together in the police station. The RCMP made our most

private moments part of the investigation file,” said Wright.

In contrast, the senior officer, Sgt. Don Davidson, who shot and killed Alvin was not required to make any statement, recorded or written, about what took place that evening.

“He made no notes, wasn’t ordered to make any, and didn’t give a written report for more than three months. The OPCC thinks that’s fair and professional, and that pretty much sums up police accountability in B.C.” Wright said the whole experience has been a nightmare he continues to live.

He vows to continue to fight for justice.

“I’m not going anywhere. This isn’t just for Alvin, it’s for the next child,” he said.

The Wright family also wants the OPCC to review whether the four Langley Mounties entered the Wright house illegally without a warrant.

The officers failed to announce their presence before entering Alvin’s darkened bedroom,

which demonstrates criminal negligence, he said. It was also learned that police failed to preserve the shooting scene, allowing the bullet cartridge and weapons to be moved, resulting in obstruction of justice or criminal breach of trust.

All of this evidence came out in the Coroner’s inquest and some of this information resulted in the jury recommending police announce themselves, make their identity more visible on their uniforms, and communicate a plan of action when attending 911 calls.

The jury also said officers involved in shootings should have to have a statement recorded about their actions immediately after the incident and then again in 72 hours.

The BC RCMP said it will review the recommendations, and will take up to a year to respond to the coroner. RCMP said it will make no effort to make their response public. The coroner can choose to make it public.

Hydro rate questions

Assault on aggression

T

he provincial government has done a good thing in scaling back BC Hydro rate increases.

The way it is doing so raises more questions than answers.

On Tuesday, Energy Minister Rich Coleman announced that the government was cancelling a B.C. Utilities Commission hearing into Hydro rate increases, which have already been scaled back from the 50 per cent premium increases which were initially proposed about two years ago, under former premier Gordon Campbell.

At that time, the rate increases were suggested to allow for introduction of the smart meter program, purchase of private power under long-term contracts and major capital expenses, including turbine installation at several dams and other upgrades.

When Coleman was named energy minister under new Premier Christy Clark, she asked that he review Hydro’s plans. The review said that the smart meter program should stay, and that other projects should proceed, but also said that rates didn’t need to go up as steeply.

Hydro then asked for an eight per cent increase in 2012, 3.91 per cent in 2013 and 3.91 per cent in 2014.

Planned increases had been 9.73 per cent each year.

On Tuesday, Coleman said Hydro received an eight per cent increase in 2011 and a 3.91 per cent increase in 2012, along with a rate rider of five per cent. The government is now saying it wants a 1.44 per cent increase in 2013, making the rate increase 17 per cent over three years. There was no word of what is planned in 2014 or beyond.

It all raises these questions. Why is there a B.C. Utilities Commission, if the government can simply override its mandate and role (as it has done before, notably with smart meters)?

The government is helping “pay” for a smaller increase by agreeing to take $75 million less in Hydro dividends.

Why does the government need to get dividends from BC Hydro, when the corporation needs to retain earnings for capital projects?

Perhaps the biggest question is this: Is this all politics, in preparation for the 2013 provincial election? Is the 2013 rate increase being kept artificially low on the expectation that the NDP will win government, as polls suggest? Is this a time bomb being left by the current government for what may be a new government?

So far, there are no clear answers.

ast weekend’s long weekend unofficially ushered in the summer season. That means more beach time, more barbecues and, for many, more time on the road.

That’s why police agencies are waging a focused assault on speeding and aggressive driving. Saanich Police are hitting problem roads and intersections this month to drive home the idea that tailgating, speeding and high-risk driving won’t be tolerated.

It’s the kind of driving behaviour that frustrates motorists most on a daily basis — someone riding too close on the highway or weaving in and out of traffic, running yellows and reds and generally behaving in ways that ramps up the road rage.

If homeowners are going to call the police about something in their neighbourhood, more often than not it’s about speeding and racing.

For police, combating reckless driving is a labour-intensive and timeconsuming task. Unlike roadblocks where officers can wait for drunk drivers to come to them, traffic patrol officers need to witness and document speeding and dangerous driving.

But it’s a worthwhile effort. Culled from police data, ICBC attributes 60 per cent of all crashes at intersections to speed, distracted and inattentive driving, and ignoring the right-of-way.

On Vancouver Island that drops to 50 per cent, but police link 29 traffic fatalities on average per year on the Island to speeding and reckless driving.

The annual campaign against high-risk driving picks up across the province in May, and more people than usual are being hit with tickets.

But people need to remember police aren’t the enemy — traffic officers are trying to make the roads safer and more civil for all.

Drinking and driving remains a high-profile problem and by definition is risky driving. But it’s the purely aggressive, high-risk driving that impacts our day to day lives en route to work or school or for recreation.

We encourage police and ICBC to help keep the pressure up.

Relay for Life a chance to fight back against cancer Grove Turtles plan to remain steadfast Editor: The Grove Turtles joined the Relay for Life in Langley at its beginning in 2005. We took our name from the fable,‘The Tortoise and the Hare’ because we believe that like the tortoise we are steadfast, knowing that with every step we take we are getting closer to our goal.

The team originated with a group of power walking friends, training together for marathons, half-marathons and other healthy exercise based activities, including the Langley Walk.

We knew we were taking care of ourselves but we wanted to get involved in helping others and we found The Relay for Life. Cancer touches everyone. It’s all around us. As our team expanded, so did our survivors. Some team members, some team members’ family members and some team members’ friends were and are dealing with cancer in one form or another and at one stage or another.

Over eight years, the members of the Grove Turtles have celebrated many little victories. We will forever remember those who we have lost and on relay night, our memorial table com-

memorates those who have fought and won the battle and those who have fought and succumbed to this insidious disease.

The Grove Turtles are community spirited and take pleasure in making people smile, or grin and bear it. We are trying to make a difference. And above all, we fight — we fight for those who can’t fight back and we fight for the cure, by raising funds and public awareness. We feel very deeply about why we relay and what Relay for Life means.The Grove Turtles continue year after year by spreading the word and working tirelessly towards filling the research jar that will aid in funding research to fight the many, many types of cancer.

Cancer will not go away without your support. Look at the Grove Turtles and the 90 other Langley Relay teams as your catalysts in directing your donations to the cause.

Visit the track on May 25, cheer on the survivors and feel the Relay of Life spirit.

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender was among those who took part in the 2010 Relay For Life at McLeod Athletic Park. This year’s version of the fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society takes place on Friday.

What are the oil and gas benefits of pipelines for B.C. residents?

Editor: Building pipelines to export B.C. liquefied natural gas and Alberta oil sands crude to China and Asia-Pacific countries needs careful consideration. Economists predict our domestic prices will rise toward world market prices as soon as energy export begins.

Our home gas heating bills and gasoline prices at the pumps will jump. With higher priced diesel, domestic freight rates will rise on everything trucked. Produce hauled from California, Florida and Mexico to all of Canada will cost more. BC Ferries’ fuel bill will rise and fares will see another increase

plus further government subsidies, adding another blow to ferry-dependent communities. Island tourism will continue to suffer.

Farmers and heavy manufacturing will see their production costs rise.

What are the true economic benefits to the average citizen for exporting our energy? Do royalties and tax revenues to government outweigh increased costs to the whole society? Should we be rushing to increase our North American energy prices to bring them closer to Asia’s?

If the pipelines proceed and our energy is marketed, then we will soon realize the

true costs. Meanwhile, the North American marketplace has set the cost of our private run-of-river hydro-electric power. BC Hydro customers now heavily subsidize run-ofriver companies. And, for the new run-ofriver projects currently under construction, or approved and still to come online, Hydro’s customers are locked-in, forced to honour the contract rate, which is far higher than today’s prices set in our energy marketplace.

Hydro generators sit idle while we pay inflated rates to private power companies.

And more will be idled as more private

generators come on-line. Spring floodwater runs over Hydro dams today because we’re locked by contract to purchasing private power.

Recently, Energy Minister Rich Coleman asked that we be patient, projecting the market will eventually turn upward and we’ll be thankful. Building pipelines to open our energy sales to Pacific Rim nations, and thereby raising domestic prices, should help his prediction come true.

The other side of the pesticide debate not presented Editor: Re: “City expands pesticide ban,” (The Times, May 17).

I wonder when anyone in the media or the anti-pesticide camp will comment or write an article on this topic, and actually cite the studies that prove weed control products are harmful and cause cancers.

You all claim such studies exist and indeed I have read some of the actual studies which all have doctors backing the findings up. The problem is however they are most often PhDs, and not MDs and certainly not scientists.

The

Some are even Doctors of Art History and Geography, which would suggest the studies themselves are bogus.

Health Canada about two years ago released the results of its study on the active ingredient in most weed killers (2,4D) and found it to pose no risk to humans when used properly. Now don’t get me wrong here. There are pesticides that are very harmful, and none of those are used in lawns.

I am sadly aware that no amount of reason or real science has any chance of being heard when a 12-year-old child is say-

ing she is scared of what could be used in lawns. I am also very curious who put this child up to this.

But all is of no matter because this antipesticide movement will win out regardless. I just wish someone in the media would write an article that is balanced somewhat.

Such an article might mention weed control on a sports field is not cosmetic, but is in fact for safety or perhaps how allergy sufferers are affected by weeds left to grow unchecked. A field full of clover will attract bees around playing children, who may

indeed be allergic to their stings.

Also such an article could mention how a healthy, weed-free, growing lawn filters our air and cools our environment and produces the oxygen we all breathe. One average-sized lawn produces the same amount of oxygen as the old growth trees that we cut down to build our houses.

It is not just about a lawn looking good.

Research into non-profits to be presented Close to 900 community groups provide services to residents of Langley, with the support of at least 46,000 volunteers who contribute over 7.3 million hours of their time annually.

A recently-completed review of the non-profit and volunteer sector in Greater Langley shows that the economic, social, and health impact on the community and residents to be significant.

With the population of the Township projected to increase by 29 per cent over the next 10 years, and funding becoming even more restricted, a grassroots “chamber-like” initiative for the nonprofit sector has begun to engage residents and groups in the simple, and low-cost act of sharing information and resources.

People are invited to find out more on Tuesday May 29, at 6:30 p.m. at Murrayville Hall (corner of 216 Street and 48 Avenue).

Attendees will hear from key representatives from other parts of the sector, such as the arts, faith, sports, first nations, social, and education.

They will also learn more about the needs of the sector, further findings from the research, and trends. The official name of this initiative will finally be announced at the gathering.

They will also discover how they can get involved in this, “Unique-to-BC” initiative. The goal of this entity is to support the overall sector so that groups can more efficiently and effectively do what they already do well — contribute to the “village” of Langley.”

Train traffic slowed

by CPR strike There will be fewer trains travelling through Langley in the next few days.

Canadian Pacific Railway’s operating employees went on strike at midnight Tuesday night. They are members of the Teamsters Union. Freight trains operated by CPR were idled.

CPR operates many of the coal and container trains that travel through Langley’s business district to and from Deltaport. The tracks through Langley are owned by CPR and connect to a B.C. Rail line from Cloverdale to the port.

Trains of other railways using the CPR tracks, notably CN and Southern Railway of B.C., are likely to keep operating, as those railways are not affected by job action.

Traffic on the CN line throiugh Fort Langley will likely be near nornal levels, as most trains on it are operated by CN. The federal government said Wednesday it will bring in back-to-work legislation if the strike is not settled quickly.

Coleman announces reduction in rate increase

Three delicious options.

50% OFF, May 28 – June 3, 2012.

TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Despite controversial private power contracts and approval of two pricy dam refits, BC Hydro’s rate increase will be only 1.44 per cent next year, Energy Minister Rich Coleman announced Tuesday.

Coleman, MLA for Fort Langley-Aldergrove, said the B.C. government is instructing the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) to limit rate increases to a total of 17 per cent for the three-year period ending April 1, 2014. With rates up 7.1 per cent since April of this year and last year’s eightper-cent hike, the 1.44 per cent increase for next year is to meet a political commitment made by Coleman and Premier Christy Clark last year to reduce planned rate increases by half.

The smallest rate increase in years is to take effect April 1, 2013, just weeks before the next provincial election.And the latest government instruction means a BCUC public hearing on the latest rates won’t proceed.

Coleman said in an interview the directed increase was not done for election purposes, but because it was the simplest way to proceed. A “negotiated settlement” with major ratepayer groups means a BCUC hearing that could run for months isn’t necessary, he said.

NDP energy critic John Horgan said Tuesday the government’s move is the latest in a series of political interventions into BC Hydro policy. It forced the util-

The Ruskin Dam, along the Stave River in Mission (shown). and the John Hart Dam near Campbell River are two major reconstruction projects that will increase BC Hydro debt in the years to come. ity to buy private power on expensive long-term contracts, it imposed the smart meter program and moved ahead on the Site C dam on the Peace River, all without review by the BCUC to see if they are in the best interests of ratepayers, he said.

“This is a Crown corporation, the envy of North America, and these guys have run it into the ditch,” Horgan said.

Coleman launched a review of BC Hydro last year, after Clark spoke out against the prospect of a 50 per cent increase in hydro rates expected over five years.

The review by deputy ministers said reducing BC Hydro staff

and in-house engineering, along with other cost-saving measures, would meet the government’s target of keeping annual rate increases below four per cent.

The BCUC’s rate hearings pushed the increase for the current year up to 7.1 per cent, to increase repayment of debt.

Auditor General John Doyle issued a report last year that said the government was taking annual dividends from BC Hydro that were not justified by its earnings.

Coleman announced Tuesday that the province was able to reach its rate goal by forgoing $75 million in dividends over three years.

Township is ready for spring freshet The area along the Fraser River will be closely watched by Langley Township staff as the annual spring freshet approaches. While numerous precautions are being taken and a comprehensive plan is in place, it is not expected that the rising water will pose a problem to north Langley communities this year.

However, if it does, there will be advance warning and the public will be kept well informed.

“Flooding is the worst case scenario, and right now we are far away from even a danger of that happening,” said Township manager of roads and drainage Terry Veer. “However, we are closely monitoring the situation and should that change, we have a plan in place, as we do every year.”

Although water levels as of late last week were at 3.2 metres,

the Township is consulting with provincial and diking authorities and local emergency services to ensure preparations are made in well in advance. On Tuesday, May 15, Fire Chief Stephen Gamble and Langley RCMP Sgt. Tom James joined Langley Emergency Co-ordinator Ginger Sherlock and Township engineering staff for a tour of the dikes and infrastructure designed to prevent the Fraser River from overflowing its banks.

Every year, a freshet occurs in late May and early June when snow packs on the mountains melt and the water runs off into rivers. Earlier this month, snow packs on the mountains draining into the Fraser River Basin were determined to be 129 per cent higher than average. But that is less than the elevated snow

pack levels experienced in 2007, which caused heightened concern but did not result in flooding in Langley.

“It all depends on the weather,” said Township manager of water resources and environment Kevin Larsen. “If there are extended periods of very high temperatures or wet weather, the water level will rise more quickly. If the snow pack melts consistently over the next month and a half, there should not be a problem. We can’t predict the future but we are ready for whatever comes.”

The Township has a multiphased flood response plan that is guided by reports from the provincial Ministry of Environment. continued, PAGE 17

Planning underway, just in case of high water challenges from PAGE 16

Right now, resources and the roles of various personnel are being reviewed, preliminary inspections of the dikes are being undertaken, and remedial work is being done.

As well, the river level is remotely monitored through a sensor that is continuously observed by Township staff.

Weekly dike patrols will be implemented when the river level rises to 4.9 metres on the upstream gauge at Mission.

They will increase to daily patrols at 5.5 metres. Should the water rise to 6.7 metres, dikes will be patrolled 24 hours a day.

As the freshet progresses, residents are encouraged to visit the Township’s website at tol.ca for more information.

In the unlikely event that the river overflows, the Township will activate its Information Hotline at (604) 514-HELP (4357).

Recorded messages will be provided on a regular basis to keep residents up-to-date on the situation and informed about what is to be expected.

Bedford Landing protected From elevated flood construction levels to the installation of pump stations, a number of measures have been built into Bedford Landing to protect the new Fort Langley community from potential flooding.

And as a higher than normal snow pack increases the potential for raised water levels on the Fraser River, Langley Township is carefully monitoring the situation and has comprehensive flood plans and practices in place.

In 2006, in preparation for future home construction, Bedford Landing’s ground level was raised to meet flood construction levels established by the province of B.C. As well, the 200year flood construction level in Bedford Landing was raised to exceed the highest water levels that can be expected every two centuries, following a study completed by the Ministry of Environment in 2007.

The area’s geodetic elevation, or height

above sea level, was raised from the previous 6.60 meters to the current 7.57 metres, including a “freeboard” (safety factor) of .6 metres.

The finished ground level of Bedford Landing ranges from geodetic elevations of 7.5 to 8.5 metres, with basement elevations of homes ranging

between 6.60 to 7.85 metres.

Bedford Landing homes were built to meet provincial flood protection regulations and standards appli-

cable at time of development.

Due to the increase in flood construction levels, new pump stations were installed at two locations to

provide Bedford Landing with further flood protection.

As well, plants, riprap armouring (rocks), and mechanical equipment such as flap

gates at drainage pipe outlets were installed to ensure proper functioning of the storm sewer system and protect the integrity of river bank.

Blue+2 recyclers’ efforts applauded City’s foam and plastic recyling pilot deemed a success

try Association (CPIA) as the 12-week project, titled Blue+2, came to an end.

“The co-operation was fantastic and we want to thank those who participated for working with us.”

This first-of-its-kind recycling test in B.C. involved collecting information on how the blue, see-through plastic bags worked as a container for the plastic materials as they were collected at the curb, compressed in the collection truck and sorted at Emterra Environmental’s Surrey material recovery facility.

Throughout the three-month test, audits of the contents of the blue bags, regular recycling and garbage bags indicated public response to the request

Given the opportunity, people want to recycle as much as they possibly can.

That’s the indication of a pilot project conducted in the City of Langley to test the recycling and collection of plastic bags, overwrap, foam containers and foam cushion packaging.

“We were pretty happy with the way Langley City residents in the test areas participated in the project,” said Craig Foster, Canadian Plastics Indus-

to recycle the materials.

The audits measured how much of the materials were recycled, compared to what remained in the garbage, and whether the materials were prepared for recycling the way the sponsors asked.

“When we looked at the blue bags of material that we brought to Emterra’s MRF at Surrey for processing and recycling, there’s no doubt that many people worked hard to give us what we asked for. For example, some of the foam containers were absolutely clean and stacked to save space.

“It doesn’t get much better than that. It’s exactly what the end markets love to get,” said Nevil Davies, Emterra Environmental’s General Manager for

the B.C. mainland.

Ordinarily, plastic bags, overwrap, foam containers and foam cushion packaging are not accepted in Langley’s recycling program; however, this three-month exception was permitted in order to determine if curbside collection can work for these materials sometime in the future.

“The City of Langley is proud to have been chosen as the host for this test project,” said Mayor Peter Fassbender.

“We’ve always been proud of our waste diversion program and this showcases the City’s desire to be a leader when it comes to recycling.”

Further information will be put on the web at www. emterra.ca later this spring.

Why go The Aldergrove Trolley anywhere else?

Company formed Bring your Nissan to Jonker Nissan for Tires, Wheel Alignment, Oil Change and Repairs.

First trolley ride likely to be given on Labour Day weekend NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

The organization that is planning a trolley bus service for Aldergrove now has an official new name: The Aldergrove Trolley Company.

Although the trolley will now be launched a little later than the board of directors had planned, its business plan is 99 per cent finished, and the company bylaws are complete and have been approved by the board, said chairman Dave Miller.

The board had been targeting

the B.C. Day long weekend to launch the first trip, but realistically it looks more like the Labour Day weekend now, he said.

The August date still remains a possibility, Miller said.

He advised that Rich Coleman, MLA for Fort Langley-Aldergrove, has requested a copy of the business plan.

“He is interested in helping us as much as he can,” he added.

The trolley bus will be similar to one used in Langford on Vancouver Island, and will provide regular service to the commu-

nity, providing a link to the major employment base of Gloucester Estates, as well as the residential community of Pioneer Park on 0 Avenue, the town centre and the two shopping centres at the east and west ends of Aldergrove.

Meanwhile, the company is actively searching for its first trolley which will then have to be inspected before it can be put into service, Miller said.

The company will be ready to present its business plan to TransLink, which must approve it, within two weeks, Miller added.

Seminar to raise funds for girls conference Duct tape can be used for everything, from holding up a car bumper to putting it on a hockey stick for grip. But can it be used to fix a teenager?

Award-winning researcher and author of How to Raise a Teenager without Using Duct Tape, Jay Timms will offer an entertaining and insightful seminar and fundraiser on Monday, May 28 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Chief Sepass Theatre.

Timms will share his unique perspective on raising teenagers, while also helping raise money for the Langley Fine Arts School Girls Conference.

Every two years, LFAS counsellor Janice Orlando puts on the conference for girls between the ages of seven and 13.

The conference teaches girls how to build confidence in themselves, to discover their individual strengths, improve physical health, and “helps them to accept themselves for the amazing people that they are,” said Orlando.

“It is a really great event but requires some fund raising to make it possible.

“Our last one attracted 130-plus girls and I was able to raise over $2,000 from donations, a YogaThon and T-shirt sales.”

Tickets to the duct tape author seminar are available at Langley Fine Arts, or online at lfasducttape. info for $10 per person or $15 per couple.

Tickets at the door will be $15 per person.

Heartburn Reflux

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, pasta, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box.

TransLink chops taxi coupons

JEFF NAGEL Black Press

TransLink has riled frail seniors and the disabled by chopping a program that gives them up to $50 a month in taxi subsidies in order to save $1.1 million a year.

TransLink says it will plow the money saved back into its HandyDart program and offer more custom transit rides that way, as well as with taxis sent by HandyDart dispatchers.

But users of the TaxiSaver program, which offered $100 per month in taxi coupons at a 50 per cent discount, are furious.

“The taxi is a lifeline for me,” said Lilo Ljubisic, a blind Burnaby resident and five-time Paralympian in shot put and discus.

“The peanuts they’re talking about saving on the backs of people who are marginalized and disadvantaged in society is appalling.”

Ljubisic used the taxi coupons in combination with regular transit and HandyDart to get around, in part because HandyDart requests get denied up to half the time unless they’re booked far in advance.

“We’re not talking about limousining ourselves in taxis all over town,” she said. “We’re limited to $100 per month in a cab.”

TransLink spokesman Drew Snider said TaxiSavers had become an uncontrolled cost with 85 per cent of users not actually using

TransLink is cutting a program which gives taxi coupons to seniors and the disabled, and will put the money into expanding HandyDart service. Demand for HandyDart is growing steadily.

HandyDart.

Many of them were stockpiling the taxi coupons, resulting in a growing liability for TransLink, with nothing to prevent holders from giving or reselling them to unauthorized users.

Snider said the taxi subsidy was originally launched in 1990 to fill in a service gap at a time when the bus fleet wasn’t accessible.

All buses now have low floors or lifts, he said, and HandyDart has expanded greatly, with its vehicles running until midnight.

Meanwhile, he said, the pressure to keep up with rising HandyDart demand has been intense.

More than 18,000 trip requests were denied last year because the service

was oversubscribed, and that problem has worsened this year.

TransLink will cover nearly 20,000 extra HandyDart requests in the first year by putting $200,000 worth of the savings into supplemental taxi trips, Snider said.

But that won’t come close to replacing the rides taken under taxi subsidies — a total of 175,000 trips were taken last year by 30,000 approved TaxiSaver users.

Snider said it’s expected a significant number will be able to take conventional transit instead.

With supplemental taxi service, which is dispatched by HandyDart when its vehicles aren’t available to make a run, users pay only their regular fare

and TransLink covers the difference to send them by cab.

Jane Dyson, executive director of the B.C. Coalition for People with Disabilities, predicts that system may prove more expensive for TransLink than the subsidy coupons, where users pay half the cost.

Gas tax take tops $1 billion in Metro Vancouver region

Gallery Estate Auctions presents….

HUGE NOSTALGIA AUCTION

Nearly 50 cents per litre goes to governments, TransLink

The complete collection of Henry Kikkert of Rosedale

Sunday May 27 at noon Preview May 24-26 9am – 5pm

JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Over 40 years of collecting

Metro Vancouver drivers are now paying more than $1 billion a year in combined gas and carbon taxes, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

The lobby group said the latest two cent per litre increase in TransLink’s fuel tax on April 1 and the next 1.1-cent bump in B.C.’s carbon tax on July 1 puts the region over that threshold.

Drivers in Metro Vancouver now pay nearly 50 cents per litre in combined fuel taxes.

“This is highway robbery,” said Jordan Bateman, the CTF’s B.C. director.

“Drivers are tired of seeing their hard-earned money evaporate into government’s coffers.”

The federal and provincial governments and TransLink took in a total of $958 million from Metro drivers last year through taxes at the pumps, and the CTF calculated that will rise to $1.02 billion this year.

TransLink’s portion will

‘Pre-planning saves you ... headaches in the end’

Tech tips for new homeowners With the ever-growing amount of available home technology, buyers need to keep an eye on the trends as well as their future plans.

“Pre-planning saves you money and headaches in the end,” says Lee Rente of Encore Security and Automation.

He suggests that homeowners think about what they will eventually want.

Everything from cameras to speakers will need to have a wire somewhere.

The first tip Rente gives buyers is to make sure the house is pre-wired for sound, security, television and Internet.

“Making sure a wire is where it needs to be will save you a lot of money in the end,” he says, since having to go in and

wire a house once the drywall is up will force the installer to cut holes in walls and ceilings to run the wire through.

If you’re planning to mount a television, Rente recommends you look at the construction of your home first.

“It is very difficult to hang a TV on steel studding,” he says. “It doesn’t really support weight well.”

Instead, he tells homeowners to look for a piece of wood between the studs and behind the drywall.

The advice he gives homeowners is to share. “Always tell the tradespeople your ideas,” he says, adding that it will help both parties on their journey to creating the perfect home.

On the bottom floor, all of the units have single-car garages except for B-plan homes, which come with tandem garages. Homes with singlecar garages include finished basement spaces with a bedroom and bathroom.

For your guests, pathways crisscrossing the development will link

visitor parking with each building.

Brady says these walking spaces add a sense of community to Pier 16.

“It feels like you’re walking up to a home, not a number,” she says.

Homes at Pier 16 start at $369,900.

Making a satisfying whole

South Surrey gets classy at Woodbridge’s Pier 16

by Colin Oswin

Step up into class at Pier 16.

The project, from developer Woodbridge Homes, features 41 threeand four-bedroom townhomes right in the heart of South Surrey.

Touring the show home, it becomes clear how many small choices in the finishings add up to a satisfying whole.

Where many developments opt for intricate, colourful and showy tile backsplashes in the kitchen, Pier 16 offers a relatively simple pattern with larger, plain tiles that remind the viewer of exposed brick. It provides an air of confidence, like someone who knows they don’t need to show off.

Sales manager Trina Brady says this approach has made Pier 16 popular among younger and older buyers alike.

“It’s very classy and simple; you can dress it up with add-ons,” she says. “It leaves it as a blank slate for the buyer to fill.”

You get this sense from the whole kitchen: the quartz countertops are a little thicker than usual and the undermount sink is a little deeper than usual. It adds up to a satisfying package.

The main floor kitchen/dining room/ living room has an open concept layout, and it flows well from one setting to the next. Brady says she encountered a bit of skepticism when describing the L-shaped kitchen, but that quickly dissipated when they saw the room in person. That’s because the kitchen L remains unobtrusive even as it stretches into the middle of the space.

“The design here really makes it feel like a large island and not a barrier,” Brady says.

Every home includes nine-foot ceilings, and you will get tons of light coming in from the generously sized windows.

Heading upstairs, you’ll find the same big, bright windows in all of the bedrooms along with a good amount of closet space.

A huge deck flows out from the master bedroom and over the driveway.

It spans the entire width of the house while extending out by eight feet, which provides lots of outdoor space for relaxing as well as shelter for your car.

The master ensuite comes with a marble countertop, his-and-hers sinks and an oversize glass shower.

The shower is big without becoming obtrusive and taking over the bathroom. Brady says the glass walls on the shower kept the space wide open.

“To have it all see-through takes away barriers that would otherwise obstruct views where a normal wall would be,” she says.

“

It feels like you’re walking up to a home, not a number,” says sales manager Trina Brady.

Kitchens at Pier 16, above, are built in an open concept layout that flows into the living and dining areas, top. With nine-foot ceilings and chic laminate flooring, the homes are modern and elegant, and include thoughtful details such as quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances and plenty of natural light from the large windows.

DISCOVER

The federal government will inject more than $75,000 into Vista Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oro Farms to boost its agri-tourism potential.

The money, announced last week by MP Mark Warawa, will create jobs and create new opportunities to meet market demands.

Vista Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oro, which is located at 346 208 St., will use the money to buy and install new equipment for its micro-processing line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our government is committed to creating jobs, growth, and long-term economic prosperity for the Canadian agriculture industry,â&#x20AC;?Warawa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This investment will help Vista Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oro expand its production capacity, create local jobs, increase domestic and export sales, and will benefit area farmers through heightened demand for their products.â&#x20AC;?

The investment, made through the AgriProcessing Initiative (API), will be used to purchase new equipment, including larger cooking vessels and chopping equipment.

These improvements will result in shorter cooking times, increased production, decreased waste, and savings on energy costs.

The money will also support the creation of three full-time and 10 part-time positions.

Vista Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oro is a culinary tourism destination that produces a variety of foods such as fruit preserves, salsas, pickled vegetables, and wine using agricultural commodities grown on the property and

Crate Training - A Great Tool For Reinforcing Positive Behaviour

Interior of Matheson House receiving $300,000 in renovation work, will be used as daycare NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Years after the Township spent thousands of dollars to move it, Matheson House is about to have a long-awaited interior facelift.

More importantly, a new lease agreement between the Township and the Langley Meadow’s Community Association signed in early May, gives the LMCA authority to sublet the old house.

The LMCA was approached by a private-sector daycare provider which will run a for-profit daycare. To prepare for this, the daycare owner will make approximately $300,000 in renovations to the interior of Matheson House which was essentially gutted when it was moved to its current location at 19893 64 Ave. from 19909 64 Ave. where it had been built in 1889.

Crate training is proven to be the fastest, most cost effective method of instilling “good dog” behavior.

Most behavior problems such as destructive chewing & housebreaking accidents in the house are due to the boredom of an unsupervised dog. If allowed to continue the behavior, it quickly becomes a habit that is difficult to change. Dogs naturally want to please their owners and receive praise and love in return. If the dog knows exactly what is expected of her, she will gladly behave accordingly to benefit from it and be rewarded. Using a crate as a training tool in situations where the dog isn’t able to be supervised, will insure the safety of the dog during the owner’s short-term absences.

The crate is designed to be a safe place for your pet so never force your dog into the crate and praise it when they enter on their own.

You may toss a favorite toy or treat inside the crate to spike their curiosity in the crate. Soon your dog will enter and exit the crate willingly. At that time you should close the door for a few seconds or a minute and remain close to the crate praising her while she is inside. Then, let your dog out in a calm and quiet manor, not making a big deal of it. If they start to barks or cries while inside her crate, reassure her and wait for her to settle down before allowing her out of the crate. You do not want her to associate negative behavior with being released from the crate. Your first few absences should be less than 30 minutes. Gradually you can extend the amount of time the dog is left in a crate. Some owners like to feed their dog in the crate, although the bowl should be removed as soon as the dog finishes eating so that it is not in her way.

It is very important that the convenience of a crate not be abused.

Every dog needs plenty of exercise and should be allowed the opportunity to socialize daily with her human family. The crate should be placed in an area that is easy to supervise. Since dogs are highly social animals the crate should be in an area of the household where the family spends most of their time. At night, the bedroom is an ideal place for a crate so that the dog can feel the security of being near her owner. Some dogs feel more secure when a towel or blanket is draped over the top and sides of the crate. It is especially important to keep the crate in the bedroom at night while puppies are being housetrained. For successful housetraining, the crate should be in area where the puppy can be heard; therefore she can be taken out to do her business as need. By creating a regular feeding schedule you will become more familiar with when your puppy will need to go. The last meal of the day should come at least two hours before bedtime. It is important to establish a timely routine so that the dog’s body functions can adjust to when she will be released from the crate. As a dog gets older the amount of time she can stay in the crate can be extended but should never exceed more than six to eight hours.

Cell Towers: Regulation and Processes The federal government, through Industry Canada, is responsible for regulating radiocommunication. This includes approving each site on which radio apparatus, including antenna systems such as cell phone towers, may be located, based on Industry Canada’s general and specific technical requirements.

In exercising its mandate, Industry Canada believes that it is important that antenna systems be deployed in a manner that considers local surroundings. In this regard, Industry Canada requires proponents of cell towers to follow local government policies with respect to public notification.

In the Township of Langley, local requirements are contained in the Telecommunications Tower Master Plan Policy, which requires proponents to hold a community consultation meeting as part of the public consultation process. Residents with questions or comments about the proposed tower can make their views known through this public consultation process. Public input obtained by the proponents at the meeting is passed on to Township staff, for presentation to Township Council.

Council does not have the authority to approve or reject cell tower applications. Council’s ability is limited to either objecting or not objecting to such installations in its referrals to Industry Canada.

Council does not have legislated authority to do anything else.

Should Council have no objection to the proposed installation, the proponent will be permitted by Industry Canada to proceed, subject to compliance with their requirements. In the event that Council expresses objections that are considered by Industry Canada to be relevant and the proponent still wishes to proceed with an installation, Industry Canada will make a final decision as to whether to: • approve the application; or • reject the application; or • require amendments to the application, including re-submission; or • refer the matter to an alternate dispute resolution process in order to come to a final decision.

Industry Canada requires that local government decisions be limited in scope to the impact that will be had on particular amenities or important characteristics of the area surrounding the proposed site.

Specific items identified by Industry Canada can be viewed on their website, at ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf08777.html.

The merry month of May Fort Langley welcomed spring with the 90th annual May Day celebration on Victoria Day, May 21

D

espite the soggy conditions on the Victoria Day holiday, hundreds staked out spots along Glover Road in Fort Langley for the 90th annual May Day

Parade.

Children clad in rain jackets, gumboots and colourful umbrellas were greeted by dozens of parade floats decorated by a variety of community groups.

Excited cheers erupted as Langley firefighters opened the parade, handing out candy to the crowds from their helmets.

Langley MLA Mary Polak dressed in a bright purple Victorian-era dress and matching bonnet for the event, while members of the BC Renaissance Festival entertained crowds in period

costumes and staged a pirate sword fight.

Members of the Langley Gymnastics Foundation turned the parade upside down, walking down Glover Road on their hands, rather than their feet.

And for the final display, a float decorated in Kwantlen First Nations designs followed by lively traditional dancers wrapped up the event.

Other May Day activities included a pancake breakfast at the Lions Hall prior to the parade, May Pole dancing, rides and vendors in Fort Langley Park, cannon firing, aboriginal dancing and a fur trade wedding at the Fort Langley National Historic Site and a clothing swap at the Langley Centennial Museum.

For more photos, visit www.langleytimes.com.

Walnut Grove’s Ashley Windsor captured three gold medals at last week’s Fraser Valley track and field championships at McLeod Athletic Park. The Grade 12 student won gold in the 400m, 800m and 1500m events, setting new Fraser Valley records in the first two events. As well as winning the senior aggregate girls award, Windsor was named the meet’s most inspirational athlete award.

Windsor still has one more major meet before she is officially done as a Walnut Grove Gator: the B.C. high school track and field championships next weekend at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. She is hoping to duplicate the gold medal she won for her school — a Gators’ first — at the cross-country championships back in the fall.

After that, she will begin preparing for the next chapter in her running life: attending California Polytechnic State University, where Windsor has accepted a scholarship to run with the Mustangs cross-country and track and field teams.

It was in Grade 10 that Windsor first thought a scholarship was an attainable goal, but it was only this year where she thought she may be able to attend a U.S. university to compete.

“I am really excited,” she said about her impending move south of the border.

“I wanted an adventure, something new, and I thought I could find that at Cal Poly.”

Windsor did look at several schools, but the California university was always high on her radar.

“It was a long process, but I am confident in my decision,” she said.

Mustangs coach Mark Conover first saw Windsor run on video.

“Very efficient, very economical, great stride and mechanics,” he noted about his first impression.

He was also impressed upon meeting Windsor in person.

“I like any student-athlete who seems to have a calm, even-keel demeanor and I picked up on that right away,” Conover added.

“Also very bright and intuitive, and I had that sense about her too.”

Gold for Blue at volleyball club nationals GARY AHUJA Times Sports

A local volleyball club team has left the opposition feeling ‘Blue’.

The Fraser Valley Volleyball Club Blue U16 boys squad capped off a remarkable season in which they lost just one match against competition in their age group with a victory at the Canadian club national championships.

The team defeated the Ottawa Fusion 2-1 for the tier 1 gold medal on Saturday in Toronto.

The Fusion had won the first set, 25-21, but the Fraser Valley club stayed alive with a 25-18 victory and then took the decisive set 15-13.

The win capped off a 9-0 performance at nationals where the squad dropped just three sets.

And while their record may look spotless

— they went 9-0 at nationals and dropped just three of the 21 sets — the team was tested, both in Toronto and over the club season.

“This is easily the most resilient group of 16-year-old athletes I have ever seen,” said coach Jordan Geransky.

“This team was pushed to the limits in pressure situations throughout the year and demonstrated the ability to overcome deficits in the most unlikely of scenarios.”

He gave the example of the tournament’s second day, in a patch against Edmonton’s FOG Black.

Fraser Valley dropped the opening set 25-12 and everything seemed to be going against the team and the players could not get into a rhythm.

The team found itself trailing 9-4 in the second set, but they found a way to battle

back to win the set and tie the match, before taking the third set.

“It takes a very special group of athletes to maintain the composure to win that type of match,” Geransky said. “Yet that is what they did all year.”

The same scenario took place in the national final.

“The boys re-focused and relied on their past experience to remain patient and stick to the game plan.

“This group had a lot of character to battle all of this adversity and it was the first thing acknowledged by nearly every coach I talked to at the national tournament.”

A big part of the team’s success came midway through the season when the team lost their lone match, at a tournament against Kelowna Volleyball Club.

“The team identified that they did not want

to deal with the disappointment of being knocked out of a tournament agains and with the hard work they put in, they never had to,” Geransky said.

A big reason for the team’s success was its depth.

“There was no player (who) had to carry the team as the roster had great balance across the board,” the coach said.

“Different players stepped up at different times to help carry this team to win the national banner,” Geransky said.

Outside hitter Ben Lieuwen won MVP both at nationals and two weeks ago when the team won provincials.

Middle Jacob Smith and left-side hitter Braden Heppell also earned all-star awards at nationals while setter Denham O’Reilly and left-side hitter Michael Hsu won all-stars at provincials.

Athletic breaks into win column Langley Athletic FC broke into the win column thanks to two second-half goals as they defeated the visiting Victoria Highlanders 2-0.

The men’s U21 soccer team hosted a pair of Victoria squads over the weekend, losing 4-0 on Saturday to Victoria United before bouncing back with Sunday’s victory in Pacific Coast Soccer League action.

Brayden Gant successfully converted a penalty kick goal with 25 minutes remaining before Mitchell Gant tacked on an insurance goal with Victoria down to 10 men.

Langley Athletic improved to 1-3 on the season.

The team’s next game is against the Highlanders on Saturday (May 26) in Victoria.

Langley Athletic’s Joseph Martin shields the ball from a member of the Victoria Highlanders during Pacific Coast Soccer League play at McLeod Park on Sunday.

Blaze winning streak snapped at 14 games The Langley Blaze had their win streak stopped at 14 games after splitting a doubleheader with the North Shore Twins.

The U18 baseball team had extended their streak — which dated back two months — with a 6-3 win in game one of their doubleheader on Saturday (May 19) at Parkgate Park.

But the Twins struck back in game two, prevailing 3-1.

The losing streak was shortlived however, as Langley defeated the Abbotsford Cardinals 5-1 on Tuesday at McLeod Park.

Langley leads the B.C. Premier Baseball League with a record of 22-5.

The opener against the Twins needed extra

innings, with the Blaze winning thanks to three runs in the tenth inning.

Tyler O’Neill hit a two-run home run while Bill Germaine and Mason Cratty both had three hits. Two of Cratty’s three hits were doubles.

Justin Geerts picked up the win after allowing just one hit in three innings of work.

Starting pitcher Marc Andre Habeck had gone seven strong innings with three earned runs and 10 strikeouts.

The Twins took game two 3-1.

Jon Bauer was tagged with the loss, allowing no earned runs over the six innings.

Preston Kokotailo had three hits and scored the lone Blaze run on a Cratty RBI

single.

Against Abbotsford, Cortez Chappell pitched six and one third innings, allowing a single run on five hits.

••••• The Langley Junior Blaze’s three-game win streak came to an end with a 6-1 loss to the visiting North Shore Junior Twins.

And Langley’s hopes of getting back into the win column were rained out as the back-half of the doubleheader was cancelled on Sunday at McLeod Park.

The Jr. Blaze still lead the U16 B.C. Premier Baseball League with a record of 13-5.

The Blaze were done in by a poor fifth inning which saw the Twins score five times to turn

a 1-0 game into a sixrun advantage.

Mason Verge scored Langley’s lone run in the bottom half of the inning.

The Blaze also had two games last week, hammering the White Rock Jr. Tritons 9-1 on May 16 and edging the Coquitlam Redlegs 3-2 on May 17.

The game against White Rock was over early as Langley scored eight times in the first inning.

Justin Lawrence, Colin McMaster and Andre Pelletier all had two RBI apiece.

Jordan Atkinson allowed just six hits and one run over seven innings to pick up the win.

The win against the Redlegs needed some late-game heroics as Langley scored twice in the sixth inning to prevail 3-2.

Steven Young came through with an RBI single for the tying run and then Shayne Clarke scored the go-ahead run after Lawrence drew a bases-loaded walk.

Mitchell Kennedy picked up the win in relief, allowing one run over two and a third innings.

Jr. Thunder rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Rocks Some homegrown talent played a big part as the Langley Junior Thunder picked up their second victory of the season.

Brett Dobray scored four times while Brandon Bull added three more goals in a 10-8 victory over the visiting Victoria Junior Shamrocks.

The two B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League rivals squared off on Saturday at the Langley Events Centre.

The teams were tied at two goals apiece after 20 minutes and then at 5-5 late in the second period. But Bull gave the Thunder the lead for good prior to intermission and Langley added three more goals in the opening 2:44 of the final frame.

Nick Stone had six assists while Adam Will set up three goals.

Eric Ranson (one goal, two assists), James Rahe (one goal, one assist), Ryan Gladiuk (one goal) and James Jackson (one assist) also hit the scoresheet.

Ryley Brown took over in goal midway through the second from Keenan Lambright and finished with 15 saves on 18 shots.

Lambright had nine saves on 14 shots.

The loss dropped Victoria to 4-3-0 while Langley improved to 2-4-0.

Quiet opener for Thunder

It was a tough start to the season for the defending league champs.

The Langley Thunder fell behind 5-1 after one period and could not recover, coming up on the wrong end of a 17-7 score on Sunday

Both teams scored four times in the middle period but the third was all Nanaimo

as they outscored the Thunder 8-2 over the final 20 minutes.

The power plays for both teams were lethal in the game as Nanaimo was 6-for-8 with the man advantage while Langley was 5-for-7.

Brett Hickey led the Thunder with three goals and two assists while Athan Iannucci had a goal and three helpers. Alex Turner chipped in with two goals and two assists and Joel McCready had a goal and two assists.

Chevrolet to test electric EN-V 2.0 in China General Motors showed the company’s vision of the Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 concept at the recent Auto China 2012.

It is an evolved design of the company’s revolutionary mobility concept revealed at World Expo 2010 Shanghai.

The original EN-V (Electric NetworkedVehicle) concept was a centerpiece of the SAIC-GM Pavilion at World Expo 2010 Shanghai.

The two-seat electric vehicle pioneered a new automobile DNA based on the convergence of electrification and connectivity.

It was developed to show the possibilities for alleviating concerns surrounding

traffic congestion, parking availability, air quality and affordability for tomorrow’s cities.

The EN-V 2.0 concept adds features that consumers demand such as in-vehicle climate control and personal storage space.

In addition, it would be capable of driving in all weather

OBITUARIES

Mildred ‘Irene’ Rombough (nee Shirkey)

December 27, 1919 - May 12, 2012 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Mom, Grandma, and Great-grandma, at the age of 92 at Langley Hospice, where she was given such good care in her final days.

Mom was born in Imperial, Saskatchewan the fourth of 8 children. It was on the family farm that Mom acquired her many cooking skills from her Mother.

We will miss her pies and cinnamon buns, and the good meals she used to make!

After a secretarial course in Regina, Mom moved to Ottawa to live with her older sister Bernice Parks and family and soon younger sister Joyce moved to Ottawa and they then roomed together. Mom worked until she was 65 before she retired. Mom met Dad on a blind date and they married three months later, November 17, 1944. They celebrated their 65 Wedding Anniversary in 2009 before Dad passed away April 2010. In 1975 they moved to Cloverdale, B.C. to be near their only daughter Lynne who had moved to B.C. in 1971. In 1991 they moved to Langley, and just before Dad passed away Mom moved to Harrison Landing Retirement Living. She lived there independently for 2-1/2 years with help from daughter and the wonderful staff there.

Irene is survived by her daughter Lynne (Ken) Moore, cherished grandsons, Geoffrey (Nicole) Moore, Daniel Moore, and her adorable Great-granddaughter Grace Moore. Also by her brothers, Earl and Howard Shirkey (Saskatchewan), sisters Joyce Hodgins and Donna Pritchard (Alberta), and many nieces and nephews. Irene was predeceased by her parents Charles (1956) and Pearl (1965) Shirkey, her favourite Aunt Elena Etter (1954), older brother Ray Shirkey (1927), older sister Bernice Parks (1983), younger sister Evelyn Seaman (2003) and nephew Raymond Shirkey (2006).

Mom, Grandma, we all loved you and will miss you so much.

You are in our hearts forever.
