Stolen motorbike T-bones car, burns Honda driver escapes flames by fleeing out passenger side door MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

A stolen motorcycle burst into flames when it T-boned a Honda Civic on Thursday evening in Willoughby.

A 20-year-old woman from Port Coquitlam was making a left turn from a church parking lot in the 20300 block of 82 Avenue when the motorcycle, which police say was speeding, came over the hill and drove right into the driver’s side of her car.

The motorcyclist, a 21-year-old from Surrey, was thrown from the bike and his helmet came off before he hit the ground, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks.

The driver of the blue Honda had the good sense to climb out the passenger door as her car caught fire. The aftermath shows that even her headrest burned.

Both drivers were taken to hospital.The bike rider’s leg is severely injured and he also has head injuries, said Marks. The female driver didn’t suffer any serious injuries.

The bike was stolen in White Rock, Marks said.

Police will be pursuing charges of stolen property.

Forensic vet brought in to probe cat deaths Police have hired a forensic veterinarian to see if the mysterious deaths of cats in Langley and Maple Ridge were caused by humans.

The move comes as the B.C. SPCA and Ridge Meadows and Langley RCMP detachments probe the suspicious deaths of cats in Brookswood and the central Maple Ridge area.

There have been a high number of reported cases in Maple Ridge and Langley, which occurred between June, 2011 and this month.

At this time, it has not been clearly established that all of the reported cat deaths are the direct result of human actions, as it can be extremely easy to confuse the actions of

a natural predator with those of a human, police said.

“The joint investigation with the SPCA is ongoing, and we’re engaging experts in this field,” said Insp. Dave Fleugel, operations officer for Ridge Meadows RCMP. “Ridge Meadows RCMP Serious Crimes Unit is regularly collaborating with SPCA’s investigators and Langley RCMP Serious Crimes.

Police crime analysts are also tracking and analyzing the reports, and we have been in contact with the RCMP’s Behavioural Science Group, who profile and track deviant, and unusual criminal behaviour.

Fort Langley gets facelift NATASHA JONES

MONIQUE TAMMINGA

Times Reporter

Times Reporter

Municipal guidelines dictate that buildings in Fort Langley’s commercial core must meet and respect the village’s heritage.

Eric Woodward has taken that a step further by naming a new commercial/residential development after two enterprising pioneers, David Coulter and John Berry.

Woodward bought the northwest corner of the former IGA site, at Glover Road and Mavis Street, and, adding it to the Frontier Building Supplies property he bought several years ago, is developing the Coulter Berry Building.

It will sit on the site of a general store owned by Coulter and Berry in the late 1800s.

A school teacher in Ontario for 15 years, Coulter came to Fort Langley in 1897 on his way to the Yukon goldfields, and stopped to visit friends Hugh Davidson and Robert Riddell, owners of the Murray’s Corners Store in Murrayville. Coulter Court in Bedford Landing is named after him.

Coulter contacted Berry, also a school teacher from Ontario, about forming a partnership to buy the Murray’s Corners Store.

They did, and together also bought the general store in Fort Langley. Berry settled in Langley, and farmed in the area for many years.

The building, which will occupy 200 feet of Glover Road frontage, is a live-workshop concept, said Kurt Alberts, an urban planning consultant whose role was to guide the public process in the project. Presented to the public in late May, the project received mostly enthusiastic response.

The building, which includes a central breezeway which will connect Glover Road to the new IGA, will have 10 apartments on the top floor, offices on the second, and shops on the bottom.

There will be parking underground for 58 cars.

Woodward lives in Fort Langley, and as president of the village’s Business Improvement Association, his focus is to revitalize the village’s commercial core.

The planned development will be combined with the land formerly occupied by

The new Coulter Berry Building on the corner of Mavis Street and Glover Road in Fort Langley will include apartments, office space and shops.

Frontier Building Supplies, which closed in May, 2011.

For Woodward, it was important to him personally to add a sense of vibrancy to Fort Langley while respecting its past.

“The corner of Glover Road and Mavis Avenue is the most important corner in Fort Langley,” he said.

“It is critical to get it right, for all of Fort Langley. I take this responsibility very seriously. Creating an ideal mixture of vibrancy, and office and residential uses within a quality design is extremely important to me.”

Woodward has been involved in every detail, and says that with the mix of retail, office and residential within one building “we can begin to add more consistent weekday and evening activity to the commercial area, while providing residences adjacent to the local grocery store and local services. I think it is a great combination.”

The one and two bedroom apartments will range in size from 621 square feet to 1,335 square feet.

The southern end of the building overlooks the former Trove Cottage, now Beatniks bistro, at 9194 Glover Rd. So that the

RCMP are seeing an increase in gas thefts, but one type of thievery could cost lives, said Cpl. Patrick Davies.

Since May 24, there have been around a dozen separate cases of gas theft, most involve siphoning gas from vehicles. But more than six cases, in Willoughby, Willowbrook and another further south in Walnut Grove involve someone

Coulter Berry building does not appear too imposing, architect Norm Davis, also a Fort resident, has tamed the south end by stepping down two storeys.This end,Woodward explained, will have a rooftop patio with mezzanine and ground level entrance.

He is anticipating at least one other restaurant in the building at the ground level.

Other ground level tenants will be a mix of shops and services which, combined with the new IGA in a plaza-like ambience, “will appeal to both local residents and visitors,”Woodward said.

The parkade not only provides sufficient off-street parking, it also allows much more versatility for the site.

“The ‘rear’ is actually frontage facing the IGA,” Woodward said. “And the breezeway, lane way and rear area form a pedestrian plaza that will be another unique aspect of Fort Langley, unlike anything we have here.”

Woodward calls the development “a team effort of landowners, local merchants,Township staff, and mayor and council.”

And, he added,“hopefully this is only the beginning.”

drilling a hole into a gas tank.

Getting underneath a vehicle and drilling holes into a metal gas tank could cause a spark and start a fire or an explosion, points out Davies. The potential for danger is high and for the little amount of gas that can be taken, it can’t be worth risking life and limb, he said.

Plus, the cost to replace a gas

tank for the vehicle owner can be more than $500.

Other thefts in Langley have involved siphoning from cars, trucks and construction site machinery.

The last time gas prices skyrocketed like this was in 2008.

Police across the Lower Mainland noticed an increase in gas theft then too.

The City of Langley website was hacked last Wednesday night by a group calling themselves the LatinHackTeam against corruption of the governments.

The home page was replaced with a black screen and red and yellow lettering telling users the site was now owned by “AdminP4nic — a Latin Hack Team against corruption of the governments.” They said “follow us on Twitter.”

Langley City chief administrative officer Francis Cheung said the hacking caught them by surprise when the page went down from 6:40 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. It took the city less than an hour to restore the site and erase all the hackers information.

It was the first time the City’s website had been hacked.

“We don’t know why we were targeted and the message on the site was quite cryptic, to be honest,” said Cheung. “It could be because we were out there on the web trying to promote the free Wi-Fi we are offering in the City.”

Everything on the City’s website is public, he said. There aren’t any sensitive files on the site and it’s not linked to municipal databases.

The website is run by a third party so the city is currently working with them to prevent hacking in the future.

MOSQUITO FIGHT IN FORT The Township of Langley, in co-operation with Metro Vancouver Parks is trying to minimize the amounts of slaps, hits and scratching locals will do this year.

Starting last week, the Township and Metro Parks began conducting periodic aerial larvicide treatments via helicopter over mosquito breeding sites located on Brae and McMillan Islands in Fort Langley. The Township’s nuisance mosquito control contractor, Culex Environmental, is carrying out the aerial treatments.

One year, Metro Parks decided not to use larvicide treatments on Brae Island and an outbreak of mosquitoes nearly shut down camping that summer. It hurt tourism in the village, as everyone was being attacked by swarms of the blood sucking insects. The Mosquito Control Hotline is 604-872-1912.

‘He died doing what he loved’ MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Langley’s “Scooter Man” has died.

At 93 years old, Cliff Steele lived his life with his foot on the throttle and that’s how he died, said his daughter Darlene.

“Dad was a man of action and he died in action,” she said on Monday.

On Friday, after working on the scooters he was repairing, he walked from his garage to the adjoining door to his home and collapsed.

He died not long after in hospital, from a ruptured aneurism in his aorta.

“He died very suddenly and was in no pain,” she said.

For the past five years, the spry senior had been quietly buying used scooters and electric wheelchairs and fixing them up to give to people in need, for free, no strings attached.

Monique TAMMINGA/Langley Times file photo

Cliff Steele, Langley’s Scooter Man, passed away at the age of 93 on Friday.

“I refurbish them and give them to people who need them. It’s a free service I’ve been offering and I’ve given away around 20 of them,” Steele told The Times in March.

With a background in mechanics, refurbishing scooters was a hobby and pleasure, he said. continued, PAGE 6

Board refuses to hear appeal of Garnett decision

The Langley board of education has refused to hear R.C. Garnett parent Clint Lee’s appeal against changing his son’s elementary school from a K-7 to a K-5 configuration.

“It doesn’t come as a big surprise,” said Lee about the board’s decision. “In my opinion they are afraid to debate the merits of my arguments I have presented them, so they have refused me on technical grounds.”

The board wrote to Lee that he didn’t file his notice of appeal within the 30-day deadline from when the board announced R.C. Garnett would switch from K-7 to K-5. Any student or parent can appeal a decision of the board that “significantly affects the education, health or safety of the student.” Should the board accept to hear a parent’s appeal, the parent or parents can present a case to the trustees.

The board wrote to Lee that his reasons for filing an appeal late weren’t strong enough to ignore the 30-day rule.

“To me, it shows that once again the board isn’t putting the needs of the education of children in front of their technicalities,” said Lee. He said the decision is devastating but he is still mulling over his next move. Under the School Act he can appeal the decision, he can take the board to Supreme Court or do nothing.

His son is in Grade Four now and will be moved to four schools within five years. His son will attend R.C. Garnett next year, Lynn Fripps the next, then change over to the new middle school for Grades 7 and 8 before switching to Mountain Secondary.

“There is the option of moving to another jurisdiction where schooling is more stable and there is the option of private school,” he said. He is saddened but what has happened to his son’s school.

“I was thanked by a lot of parents for filing this appeal. There is a feeling of helplessness among parents and most have lost the fight in them, which is unfortunate.”

His appeal argues that the board must consider other means to alleviate overcrowding at R.C. Garnett first, including the removal of non-catchment area and non-school district children from his son’s school.

In Lee’s appeal, he cites studies that show a student’s academic performance is severely hindered when being forced to switch schools so many times. He also cites statistics on school bus crashes and worries for his son’s safety as he is bused two catchments away to school.

comment on an investigation while it is still taking place, she said.

Some comments on The Times’ website from fellow tree fallers say Klody was likely pushing the tree with his bucket when it became dislodged from the boom. Pushing a tree is common practice, said one tree faller.

In Facebook replies, some wondered if he was wearing a safety harness. All that information should come out of the investigation.

Health Matters

In health news these days, each story seems to bring information which conflicts with the last! But now, a study out of Germany, with over 40,000 participants, finally says that coffee drinkers are at no greater risk of illnesses such as heart disease or cancer than their non-coffee drinking counterparts – and may, in fact, have a slightly lower risk of type 2 diabetes. Not enough to start drinking coffee, but enjoy it if you do.

A beverage you may want to seriously consider giving up is sodas – and not just for the reason you may think. Certainly, regular sodas are laden with empty calories, but replacing them with diet sodas is not a healthy move. Replacing sodas (even diet ones) with water makes you twice as likely to lose 5% of your body weight (that proverbial 5-10 lbs). Plus, daily soda consumers are at a 43% higher risk of suffering a heart attack!

Something to increase is dietary fibre – most of us are getting less than half of what our bodies need.

Fibre comes from a variety of BOB SANGHA Pharmacist, BSc sources including bran, oats, whole grains, fruits & veggies (especially their skins) and seeds.

Many people seek supplements to improve health and a commonly used one is selenium. It has been proposed that it reduces heart disease, cancer and diabetes plus a variety of other claims. However, most of us are getting more than sufficient selenium from our diets – and excessive levels actually increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes!

Bikers can gear up and explore some of the most scenic roads throughout Langley and the Fraser Valley to help out two charities in need.

Barnes Harley Davidson is inviting motorcyclists of all levels to participate in two upcoming summer charity rides — the Summer Sizzle Charity Poker Run on June 16 and the Ride into History on July 28.

The Summer Sizzle ride, benefitting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of Canada, will take riders on a three-hour route through Fort Langley that will twist and turn out to Mission and back through the Fraser Valley.

There will be poker stops along the way and five observation questions that will challenge the riders as they cruise through the route, said Greg Huot, route co-ordinator for the Summer Sizzle.

Advance registration is available on Friday, June 15 at Barnes Harley Davidson, 8859 201 St., along with a barbeque and cruise-in night from 5-8 p.m. Registration is also available the day of the ride from 8-9:30 a.m.

The Ride into History, in partnership with the City and Township of Langley and the Kwantlen First Nations, is an inaugural event to raise money for the Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope.

The event is a celebration of motorcycling and the History of B.C, taking riders on a three-hour scenic ride that will start and finish at the Fort Langley National Historic Site.There will also be many festival activities for the public, including concerts by donation, pancake breakfasts, a motorcycle show-n-shine and a salmon barbeque. Events begin on Friday, July 27, with the ride on Saturday.

Pre-register at Barnes Harley Davidson or on the morning of the event at the Fort Langley National Historic Site from 8-9:30 a.m. For more information, call Barnes Harley Davidson at 604534-6044.

scooters now.

“A lot of these people were housebound before, and they get a new life when they get a scooter,” he said.

Steele had recently called The Times to say that since the article came out about him, the response had “been outstanding.”

Not only were many people willing to donate scooters, but he had met a man willing to do the electrical aspects of the scooters and another who volunteered to pick up and drop off the scooters that were donated or bought by Steele.

Darlene has worked all weekend to get all the information about those waiting for a scooter from Steele.

“Everyone that was on the wait list will get a scooter,” she said.

But she has asked that no more scooters be donated.

When The Times asked why Steele was wanting to donate his time for others, his reply was simple: “When life has been good to you, do good for others.”

He lived life to the fullest, even getting his second hole in one at Langley Golf Centre last week.

Recently, a teacher at an elementary school showed the article about Steele to his Grade 7 students and asked them to write a letter about what they think of his acts of kindness.

Luckily, he got to read every single “heartwarming” letter just last week when they arrived in the mail.

“These 11-year-old kids’ words were so thoughtful, so touching,” said Darlene.

A celebration of Steele’s life will be held at one of his favourite places, the Langley Seniors Centre, on Saturday, June 16 at 2 p.m.

Modifications to a retaining wall on the north side of Fraser Highway have delayed the completion of the road widening project from the Langley City border at Old Yale Road to just west of 216 Street.

Paul Cordeiro, the Township’s manager of transportation engineering, said that the contractor for the retaining wall has had to undertake modifications after it had already been erected.

Adding to the delay is the Township’s decision to replace two culverts, and several days of construction have been lost because of poor weather, Cordeiro said.

Although the pedestrian underpass was paved in time for the Langley Walk in early May, lighting still needs to be installed.

Paving and the installation of concrete barriers

dividing the eastbound and westbound lanes are likely to occur during the first two weeks of July.

The project was initially scheduled to be finished by the end of this month. It will now be “substantially” complete by the middle of July, Cordeiro said.

When the widened section of Fraser Highway is complete, it will include a shared bicycle and pedestrian pathway along the south side of Fraser Highway. This path, reached by the sidewalk on the south side of Fraser Highway, will lead walkers to the upgraded pedestrian underpass which was once used as a passageway for cows to travel under the road from one pasture to another.

The total cost of the project is $4.2 million, half of which is funded by TransLink.

It’s not the last of road improvement projects for Fraser Highway. The Township is currently in the design stage to widen the road between 228 Street and the 23500 block.

No need for omnibus bill

Grads face challenges

T

he Conservativce government is set to pass Bill C-38, an omnibus budget bill which includes amendments and changes to many statutes.

This has prompted a massive backlash from a number of groups, notably environmental groups. One aspect of their protest was the voluntary blacking out of a number of websites on June 4.

While some of their rhetoric is overblown, it is puzzling why a majority Conservative government feels it needs to proceed in this way.

If it wishes to amend specific statutes, why not do so, without packaging a huge variety of changes in one bill?

The Conservatives got used to doing this in their five years as a minority government. It was one way to keep at least one opposition party on side — put something in the budget bill that they wanted, and they would vote for it.

It was an understandable tactic.

The government had to compromise to the degree that it would propose legislation that one of its opponents would back. In fact, the Conservatives did have to go to the polls in 2008 and 2011 after it became clear that no opposition party was willing to back them any longer.

Now there is a majority government. No longer does the government have to keep one opposition party on side. And that’s fine. The parliamentary system is an adversarial one, with government and opposition on different sides of almost every issue.

That’s why such omnibus bills don’t seem to make senese. All they do is hamper the public from paying closer attention to what the government’s plans are, and at the same time, raise fears which in many cases are exaggerated or non-existent.

If the government doesn’t want to spend too much time on any given bill, it can invoke closure. There is no longer any stigma about doing so, and the public recognizes the need for the government to be able to enact its plans after there has been reasonable time for debate.

It seems that, with some moves like this omnibus budget bill, the Conservatives are deliberately provoking their opponents. While there may be a desire for political vengeance, they need to remember that their majority was granted to them by voters in 2011, only after a five-year testing period.

That majority can easily be taken away by voters in the next election.

t’s grad season. High school seniors are in the final days of their formative education before moving on to post-secondary studies, perhaps travel or maybe the work world.

Simon Fraser University, BCIT and Douglas College are holding grand ceremonies to bestow degrees and diplomas.

It’s a time of transition for students, as they emerge from the schools, teachers and friends they’ve known for so many years and step into new worlds, with new challenges, new demands.

It’s a time for them to reflect on what they’ve accomplished and to begin charting the path for the next phase of their lives.

The only thing certain is the uncertainty of what lies ahead.

Economies in North America and Europe are sputtering. The booms in China and India have quieted.

Unemployment is up, wages are down, the social safety net is slowly unraveling as governments around the world can no longer sustain the cost of helping their citizens through tough times, or into retirement.

Some experts say we’re on the brink of a global recession.

But none of that will dull the gleaming smiles of those grads as they march up the aisle to receive their parchment, or diminish their pride of accomplishment.

After all, every generation of grads seems to have challenges to face, whether it’s the rising cost of education, changing technology, diminishing job markets, inflation, deflation, debt, sometimes even war.

Somehow, they persevere. Many thrive. Most will become upstanding citizens, carving out their little corner of the world.

Some will become leaders, improving everyone’s world.

For that we thank them all, and invite them into the world with open arms.

Lobbyists have an influence on council Editor: Langley Township’s debt per person rose 175 per cent over last year, from $275 per person to a whopping $759 per person. It’s time to pull in the reins. So do we really need to spend $500,000 on an “extension” to a horse trail that very few use?

Three lobby groups have considerable influence on the majority of Township council — the horse industry, developers and unions. They are great at lobbying and get their votes counted, unlike the silent majority. The definition of a “lobby” is to attempt to influence or sway, as a public official toward a desired action. If we don’t get out and vote we will end up with the same as we have now. It will never change and may get worse. Taxes keep going up, but our real needs are put on the back burner.

As a result of my letter to the editor (published March 27), regarding budget deliberations, along comes lobbyist Peter Thiessen, as a delegation to council from

the Back Country Horsemen. This was on April 11. He now added joggers, recreational cyclists and dog walkers to the trail.

All this lobbying is for $500,000, which has been approved by council to extend a trail from 256 Street to Aldergrove Lake.

Thiessen claims the existing trail from Campbell Park to 256 Street is a well-used recreational corridor, popular with dog walkers, joggers, recreational cyclists and equestrians. I have viewed the South Langley trail at least eight times at different times of the week, including weekends.

Each time the weather was excellent, and combined I saw only four horses, two joggers, seven recreational cyclists and three dog walkers.

So what’s with the misinformation given

by Thiessen? I guess the taxpayer-funded 1,322-acre Campbell Valley Park just isn’t big enough for these horse owners, who make up less five per cent of the approximate 106,000 residents in the Township of Langley.

Most police officers do a great job Editor: Thank you for your editorial (The Times, June 5) on the work of the RCMP in the Angus Mitchell case.

I noticed that daily newspapers devoted many pages to the heroic actions of the RCMP during a very tense day (Wednesday, May 30), when they issued a warning about Mitchell, and then confronted him in Maple Ridge.

Not only did these police officers from all divisions protect the citizens from further carnage by this individual, but they put themselves directly in harm’s way from a very dangerous person. They did not use their weapons until they were fired upon, and even then they participated in the attempts to save this man’s life, including calling for a life flight helicopter.

What I didn’t see in the dailies was a large headline expressing our gratitude as citizens for what they did for all us that day. I for one am so thankful that they were able to protect us all, as the day unfolded.

Recent news coverage has stated that RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson is displeased at being hamstrung in dealing with the few bad apples that make the news all of the time. He clearly points out that the RCMP Act needs to be changed to give him the power to carry out the actions that all of us — including a whole lot of RCMP members — want him to do.

I have a suggestion. Instead of publicly bashing the RCMP as a group, what the media and the citizens should be doing

is turning the spotlight on the Members of Parliament who have the ability to make these changes.

The RCMP are not the only professionals that have a few bad apples amongst them, but they are likely the only profession that can’t get rid of these people because of a law that needs to be changed.

By all means, publicly embarrass the RCMP member who acted inappropriately, but please don’t lump all of the amazing, hard-working people who put their lives on the line for us, and are there the minute we call 911. They deserve a public thank you.

Housing on farmland not good land use Editor: This is a response to Tod McGovern’s letter (The Times, June 7) and development on and around Trinity Western on Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) and Rural Reserve land.

Daily I drive by the recently-erected Development Proposal signs at the corner of Glover Road and Highway 10. I shake my head in disbelief.

How could Metro, the ALR, and Township even consider turning more fertile Fraser Valley farmland into housing? We now have foreign investors buying up our ‘rare’ valley farmland in huge swaths The

at an alarming rate, because they see the tremendous agricultural value in such a rich natural endowment. They did not have the foresight nor wisdom to save farmland in their own countries.

Why would Langley even consider such a development proposal on what is historic Hudson’s Bay Company farmland, and without a doubt some of our region’s most beautiful natural geography?

Please tell me who on council and on the ALR committee is for this, and they will most certainly not be getting my vote for a further term.

be among those at the bottom. The source is the Township’s business licence database.

Most of the horse-related businesses would be considered small business and most small businesses pay very little tax.

Horses do not give us sustenance like cows, chickens, turkeys, sheep, goats etc., and it takes huge tracts of land just to produce enough food to feed a horse.

There are two and one half times as many dogs as there are horses in the Township.

Over $350,000 is collected in dog licence fees yearly. So why not license the horse and use that income towards the trail and towards picking up horse poop. After all, horses are covered by the same bylaws as dogs.

I like horses and see more horses and riders on my front street, almost every day — more than I’ve seen using the South Langley trail. But their owners should be more responsible and less demanding.

Dennis Townsend, Langley

The horse industry claims to generate a huge amount of tax dollars. Not so, when compared to others.

For example: Thunderbird Show Park is on 84 acres and pays property tax of $15,694, of which $3,810 Peter goes towards protection Thiessen services, and $5,488 towards schools. Thunderbird Show Stables is on 156 acres and pays $10,570 in property tax, with $2,840 towards protection services and $3,389 towards schools.

Not far away, at Gloucester Industrial Park, a business on 23 acres, which by the way employs 600 people, and has no transit services, pays $589,849 in property taxes, of which $160,357 goes towards protection services and $104,703 goes towards schools. This business also pays $6,000 for water.

In reviewing the Township’s businesses by industry, horse-related businesses would

Let’s cut the crap, folks.This selfish greedy nibbling away at the ALR and Rural Reserve boundaries is about nothing other than property development profit, and who stands to make a quick buck by sacrificing this land (our kids’ land) forever.

Greg Ewasiuk, Langley Editor’s note — To answer the question, all members of Langley Township council, except Councillors Michelle Sparrow, David Davis and Kim Richter, voted to allow housing on the Wall farm, the development he refers to.

GREAT SPORTS COVERAGE Editor: I wanted to thank Times sports reporter Gary Ahuja for the ongoing coverage of our local athletes. As our kids are growing they are taking more interest in the paper, and especially sports.

My son (11) often points out older siblings of his friends or his sister’s friends. Just this week he gets to point out his sister.

I have to admit that, until the last two years, I did not really notice the sports section but now that our children and their friends are more involved and advancing in their sports, it’s awesome to see them recognized. Thank you for your continued involvement in recognizing sports and its positive input into our community.

BIG BEN KEEPS ITS NAME Editor: In the June 7 edition, the cartoon refers to Big Ben being renamed. I am appalled at the lack of information and knowledge displayed by the person who made the cartoon, the editor of the paper and the proofreaders who did not catch the glitch.

You have incorrectly assumed the tower depicted at Westminster Abbey is known as Big Ben. It isn’t. Big Ben refers to the large main bell in the tower and was so named (Big Ben). The tower itself (if it ever did have a name) is not Big Ben. Check it out online, its all available.

Bob Prest, Langley Editor’s note — Mr. Prest is correct. The cartoonist was making a general reference to Big Ben, which is one of London’s bestknown attractions. The bell itself is not being renamed.

Students in Langley struggling with basic math skills will now have the opportunity to get extra, thanks to efforts from the Langley School District Foundation.

A total of $51,000 was raised at the seventh annual Grand Prix Gala, held at Thunderbird Show Park on June 3, which will be used to purchase “Do the Math” kits for the school district.

Nearly 70 per cent of high school students who do not graduate from Grade 12 are prevented from graduating by poor math skills, said Susan Cairns, executive director of the Langley School District Foundation.

“A lot of times what happens is some kids miss the concepts early on, but it’s not really recognized,” she said. “They keep getting passed and going through the system until about Grade 10. Then it becomes clear they can’t do math properly, they’ve missed it along the way.

That’s quite tragic, they can’t go on to university programs and a lot of times they don’t graduate at all.”

The kits are designed to teach these kids the basic math concepts to help students who have fallen behind catch up.

Last year, money raised at the annual event went to furnishing schools with the online Kurzweil software — a reading, writing and study skills program to help students with learning disabilities learn at the same grade-level as their classmates.

This year’s grand prix event featured a world-class horse jumping competition, wine tasting, gourmet food and a silent auction which raised $10,000.

“Even though it was a little chilly, the event went very well. People enjoyed it, the venue was fantastic and the horses, wine tasting, hors d’oeuvres and silent auction,” Cairns said.

No more left turns onto Glover at 216 Traffic pattern change, which was brought on by safety concerns, comes into effect today NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Safety concerns have prompted the Township to prohibit left turns from 216 Street onto northbound Glover Road.

The change is due to come into effect today (Tuesday) when Township crews install the signs. Crews have already paved and painted lines to denote the change.

As well, 25 metres of shoulder width will be added to Glover Road south from 216 Street to accommodate right-turning vehicles.

The junction of 216 Street and Glover Road lies north of the main intersection of 216 Street/Crush Crescent/Glover Road, which is controlled by a traffic signal.

That intersection is not affected by

the change.

Paul Cordeiro, the Township’s manager of transportation engineering, said that the change was prompted by concerns from Transport Canada over vehicles backing up over the railway line that run parallel to Glover Road.

Transport Canada relayed those concerns to both the Township and the Ministry of Transportation, he said.

There is very little distance between the tracks and the road.

According to Transport Canada, with the volume of traffic on Glover Road, there is little opportunity for a vehicle to get off the track when a train approaches.

Cordeiro stressed that left turn movements from Glover Road to 216 Street are not affected.

Many people and organizations in Langley care about the environment, and are doing something to preserve it. That message came through loud and clear in the raft of nominations for the 2012 Langley Environmental Hero awards.

The winners were announced Saturday at Fort Langley National Historic Park, where they participated in the planting of a tree to help replenish the Fort’s historic orchard.

Individual winner was Natal Cicuto, who is a volunteer with Yorkson Water Stewardship Committee. He has worked closely with the developers and contractors of a massive development on 80 Avenue in Willoughby to preserve the quality of Yorkson Creek. Gemco, B and B Contracting and McElhanney were named runner-up in the business and organization category, for their sensitive work on the development.

Individual runner-up was Mike Pearson, who has championed protection of two endangered fish species, the Nooksack Dace and Salish Sucker, both of which live in Langley streams.

Business and organizational winner was Heather Jenkins of 1

RETIREMENT. LIVING!

n February, this column asked the question: “Are B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets history?”

The answer is contained in a new draft plan from BC Hydro on how to meet future power demand. And while it’s not explicitly stated, the answer is yes.

The draft plan was released in May for discussion purposes, but so far there hasn’t been much discussion. This is surprising, given some of the recommendations, such as firing up the Burrard Thermal natural gas power plant more often and buying fossil fuel power from the North American market to keep up to demand.

The plan confirms a few things that have been evident for a while. Dreams of exporting B.C. hydroelectric power are gone for the foreseeable future. And with mining ramping up along with natural gas development and population growth, BC Hydro now projects electricity demand could rise by 50 per cent over the next 20 years.

The emergence of huge shale gas sources in B.C. and across the United States has changed the North American energy picture dramatically, as U.S. electricity producers replace coal by burning cheaper and cleaner gas to ramp up power production.

B.C. is losing gas market share in the U.S., its only export customer for heating fuel and elec-

tricity use.

Former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate goals officially remain in place: 33 per cent greenhouse gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80 per cent by 2050. If the gas boom proceeds as planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up considerably by 2020.

Premier Christy Clark has a new target for 2020: three liquefied natural gas production lines feeding high-pressure tankers at Kitimat, for export to Asia. Not only will B.C. need to buy gasfired power from outside the province to keep up to industrial and residential demand, but the natural gas industry will need its own new gas-fired electricity to produce LNG for export.

Natural gas passed forestry as B.C.’s top resource revenue source many years ago. In 2005, the volatile gas price spiked up and produced $1 billion in windfall profits that allowed the B.C. government to buy a rare period of public sector labour peace through the 2010 Olympics.

Now a glut of shale gas has pushed the North American price down from its historic range of $4 to $6 per thousand cubic feet to about $2.40.

Despite that low price, gas producers in B.C. are going flat out to develop the Horn River and Montney shale gas deposits in northeast B.C. I asked David Pryce, vicepresident of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, why so much gas is being developed now. He said producers have made huge investments in B.C. shale gas drilling rights, and are in an international race to supply LNG to Asian countries where the price is currently four times higher than in North America.

Whatever the domestic price, B.C. gas producers have to show LNG investors such as Mitsubishi and Korea Gas that they can fill a steady procession of LNG tankers at a competitive rate.

If LNG doesn’t fly here, B.C.’s gas export market soon evaporates. Currently gas producers pay about $400 million a year in royalties, and that much again to buy up shale gas drilling rights.

The industry already employs about 12,000 workers in B.C. The B.C. government has little choice but to redefine its climate targets. Instead of cutting domestic emissions, it will try to take credit for displacing coal power in Asia.

Fortunately, B.C.’s main coal exports are for high-grade coal used in steel-making.

New B.C. liquor regulations include a $575 fine for adults who buy alcohol for under-aged drinkers, or serve them in restaurants and pubs.

The fines apply to serving staff who fail to check identification, in addition to penalties already in place for licensed establishments that serve under-aged drinkers. Those penalties range from fines of $7,500 to $10,000 or a licence

suspension of 10 to 15 days.

Parents and guardians who provide alcohol to their under-19 children are exempt from the tickets.

“These changes give police and liquor inspectors another tool to make it harder for minors to get alcohol,” said Rich Coleman, minister responsible for liquor and gambling policy.

The new tickets are part of an effort by the B.C. government to streamline the court system,

after imposing new administrative penalties for impaired driving. For supplying alcohol to minors, police previously handed out court appearance notices.

The new tickets can still be disputed in court, but the onus is on the person ticketed to dispute or pay it.

B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association president Ian Tostenson said the organization supports the new penalties.

Celebrating 90 Years in our Communities President’s Message: As we begin a new year in 2012, Otter Co-op is proud to be celebrating 90 years of success in the Lower Mainland.

And what a great year to be celebrating this milestone, as the United Nations has proclaimed 2012 to be the International Year of Co-operatives. Our members can be proud of the rich history of Otter Co-op Our continued success is indeed a co-operative team celebration. It can be credited to you, our loyal members purchasing goods and services; both past and present. As Frank Hauzer President well, the success is part of a great effort on our staff’s part, in providing that great, friendly service that members have come to expect and enjoy. And also credit to the management and board of past and present, in setting goals and directions for the Co-ops’ success for years to come.

A couple of highlights that I am especially proud of when talking about Otter, is the fact that all profits generated by the Co-op stay right here in our communities, as opposed to going off to some head office in Toronto or outside the country.

Whether it be profits allocated to members in equity and cash back, or to the new and upgraded facilities we are able to invest in throughout the Lower Mainland, or to the literally hundreds of groups and organizations that Otter provides scholarships, support, and sponsorship of. Did you know that for many years Otter Co-op has donated well in excess of $130,000 a year to the many different community groups that we serve? This is so exciting to be a part of such a successful and community oriented company.

Other positives for me include the fact that Otter Co-op is such a diverse company, with business opportunities in feed, food, hardware, petroleum, pharmacy, and car washes. We also have a leased facility with Tim Hortons. It is this diversification that positions us well for the future, and helps in “not keeping all our eggs in one basket” in this challenging economic time. There is no doubt that Otter Co-op has a bright future, and I am honored to be your president during this anniversary year.

Yours Co-operatively on behalf of the Board of Directors,

OTTER TROTTER RELAY FOR LIFE TEAM The 2012 Relay for life was an experience I won’t soon forget. My daughter Hailey & I participated in this event for the first time and can speak for the both of us when I say this event has changed the way we look at this horrible disease. Neither of us really knew what to expect but were up for the challenge to stay up all night and raise money for such a good cause. Our team ( The Otter Trotters) consisted of Maureen Minot (Team Captain), Marilyn Gryseels, Beppie Henry, Terry Koffman, Tim Gagner, Merna Richter and her other half Gord, my daughter Hailey and myself. To date we have raised $4,170.00 and would like to send a BIG thank you to the Otter Co-op for their generous donation to our team $2500.00 which got our fundraising efforts in motion.

Our gracious Emcee for the evening was Bev Dornan who did an outstanding job informing us of the evening’s events. The opening ceremony was inspiring as the survivors gathered around the stage and preceded onto the track for the survivors lap. The Fire guard escorted the survivors around the oval as the yellow T Shirts followed in suit. As they rounded our tent we clapped and cheered them on

as if they were celebrities and in my mind they all were. I fought back the tears as I thought of how many will not win their battles and won’t be joining us for the future relays.

At 10pm the Bagpiper (also a survivor) led the way playing “Amazing Grace” as the rest of us joined in on the lap to celebrate the survivors and reflect on our fallen loved ones. I remember counting my blessings the entire length of that lap and for the rest of that evening.

The lighting of the luminaries on the track and in the grand stand was an awesome sight. The overhead lights were turned off for a few minutes so we could all clearly see the words “HOPE” and “CURE” spelled out.

Walking the track with my teammates on and off all night didn’t seem like such a hard job when I thought about the people battling for their lives every day. As the night went on a few of us grabbed a quick cat nap, caught a second wind and continued on to our night’s journey.

The weather held out and provided a dry event which I was also very thankful for. I heard past stories from our seasoned teammates about cold, rainy past relays and was glad to have my first experience a dry one.

It has been a long time since I watched the sun come up and welcomed it’s warmth into my cold, stiff bones. The sound of the birds singing at 4am was a wonderful way to start the dawn of a new day which I started by praying a cure for Cancer would come sooner than later so my family and friends would be able to enjoy these sights & sounds until their true time to leave this earth arrives.

With Sincere Thanks!

On behalf of everyone at Otter Co-op we would like to thank Gerrie Wise (7 years service) and Patrick Freeman (1 year service) as they complete their terms on the Otter Co-op Board. Both very dedicated members of the Otter Co-op Board each bringing their own qualities to compliment the board.

Gerrie completed all the FCL Courses offered and achieved the Level Two Directors Certificate. During her seven years Gerrie served as Member Relations Chair, on the Finance Committee and as the Board Secretary. Gerrie has also commuted from Mayne Island where she and her husband moved upon retiring Gerrie Wise - 7 years service Patrick Freeman - 1 year service four years ago. Even though Patrick was only with the District 4 Regional Director for FCL.

ladies’night 2012 The Annual Otter Co-op Ladies Night kicked off on the evening of Saturday April 14th. This annual event saw about 130 ladies enjoy an evening of fun and fashion.

The evening included a fashion show featuring ladies, men’s and kids fashions on models that were staff and their families, as well as customers. The models were aided by the trusty help of the Langley Township Fire Department.

The ladies enjoyed appetizers, desserts, beverages, many door prizes, and a 50/50 draw put on the Langley Township Fire Department to raise funds for their charity.

The customers that bought a ticket to the event also enjoyed a grab bag full of goodies and a 20% discount on fashions and hardware. It was shop till you drop.

The funds raised by the entry ticket sales were split between the Relay for Life team of the Otter Trotters and the Otter Community fund that helps out needy families.

For those of you that did not get a chance to attend this fun event, keep an eye open for the Fall/Winter Ladies night that will happen in early November.

Another fantastic fiscal year at Otter Co-op has come and gone, and with it the Annual General Meeting. At our meeting, members heard of the financial results for the 2011 fiscal year ending March 3rd that included the following: Strong community support from our members in the communities in which we serve, grew this organization to sales of a fantastic $154,916,678, this is an increase Jack Nicholson of 21.5% over the previous year. Bottom line savings General Manager grew to $8,189,619; or 5.3% of sales, which is also a significant increase over the previous years’ 3.7% of sales. Over $5.3 million of the savings to be allocated back to you, our retail members. Some division results include our food sales in the Retail Centre remaining flat throughout 2011. Our Pharmacy division experienced a nice increase in sales of 7.9% over the previous year. General Merchandise, which includes our hardware and family fashions, realized a decrease of 6.3% in sales due to the economy, poor weather, and cross border shopping. In Feed, we ended the year with an increase of 21.4%, and bulk petroleum sales increased an incredible 65.1%. Our Pitt Meadows location had a 7.5% increase in sales over the previous year; and our gas bar division continued to play a significant role in our sales growth with an increase of 15.1% over 2010. A couple of highlights of the past year over and above the fantastic results achieved throughout our organization, include the opening of a new Produce Market and Convenience Store in Abbotsford, that is projected to have sales this coming year of $1.5 million. Otter Co-op also opened a stand-alone pharmacy in Abbotsford last fall that is projected to add additional sales of a half a million dollars this coming year. These two locations created new job opportunities for approximately a dozen people.

We continued with our plan to re-develop and rebuild our 248th gas bar and cardlock location, and hope to have that project underway by the end of this year. Development plans are underway for a new gas bar and convenience store on Highway 11, between Abbotsford and Mission. And most recently, Otter has purchased 5.36 acres of industrial land in Chilliwack, for the construction of a 6 pump, 6 lane gas bar and convenience store; an 8 pump, 7 lane cardlock facility; a bulk plant with 20 – 148,000 litre storage tanks, an oil warehouse and office building, including space for a tenant. This project is expected to create additional sales for Otter Co-op in excess of $30 million per year.

In order to effectively compete in today’s rapidly changing marketplace, we must continue to plan for the future. Every year the requirements and expectations of our membership increases. We need to determine what is essential and then set priorities for the prosperity of Otter Co-op. The reality is about continuing on a track record of fiscal responsibility balanced with sound marketing objectives, to ensure that we have continuous development and growth of our employees and the Co-op. Our organization is rooted in history, is relevant and revered today, and ready for tomorrow. So there you have it in a quick overview; where we’ve been last year, and some of the exciting plans for the future. Here’s looking forward to another record year at Otter Co-op!

Over $5.3 million of the savings to be allocated back to you, our retail members. Some division results include our food sales in the Retail Centre remaining flat throughout 2011. Our Pharmacy division experienced a nice increase in sales of 7.9% over the previous year. General Merchandise, which includes our hardware and family fashions, realized a decrease of 6.3% in sales due to the economy, poor weather, and cross border shopping. In Feed, we ended the year with an increase of 21.4%, and bulk petroleum sales increased an incredible 65.1%. Our Pitt Meadows location had a 7.5% increase in sales over the previous year; and our gas bar division continued to play a significant role in our sales growth with an increase of 15.1% over 2010. A couple of highlights of the past year over and above the fantastic results achieved throughout our organization, include the opening of a new Produce Market and Convenience Store in Abbotsford, that is projected to have sales this coming year of $1.5 million. Otter Co-op also opened a stand-alone pharmacy in Abbotsford last fall that is projected to add additional sales of a half a million dollars this coming year. These two locations created new job opportunities for approximately a dozen people.

We continued with our plan to re-develop and rebuild our 248th gas bar and cardlock location, and hope to have that project underway by the end of this year. Development plans are underway for a new gas bar and convenience store on Highway 11, between Abbotsford and Mission. And most recently, Otter has purchased 5.36 acres of industrial land in Chilliwack, for the construction of a 6 pump, 6 lane gas bar and convenience store; an 8 pump, 7 lane cardlock facility; a bulk plant with 20 – 148,000 litre storage tanks, an oil warehouse and office building, including space for a tenant. This project is expected to create additional sales for Otter Co-op in excess of $30 million per year.

In order to effectively compete in today’s rapidly changing marketplace, we must continue to plan for the future. Every year the requirements and expectations of our membership increases. We need to determine what is essential and then set priorities for the prosperity of Otter Co-op. The reality is about continuing on a track record of fiscal responsibility balanced with sound marketing objectives, to ensure that we have continuous development and growth of our employees and the Co-op. Our organization is rooted in history, is relevant and revered today, and ready for tomorrow. So there you have it in a quick overview; where we’ve been last year, and some of the exciting plans for the future. Here’s looking forward to another record year at Otter Co-op!

Langley filmmaker Lewis Bennett has challenged himself with making a short film every month this year. His first film, titled Asian Gang, revisits an incident that took place when he was a Grade 7 student at North Otter Elementary. At left, the filmmaker broaches a delicate subject with his mother.

So far in 2012, he has also visited a parrot refuge, looked into the mystery of the feet that have washed up on the West Coast and paid a visit to Port Kells’ so-called “Sandwich Nazi.” submitted image

A year in shorts Langley filmmaker Lewis Bennett has set out to create one short feature per month throughout 2012 MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

A

fter Lewis Bennett got in the only fight of his life on the soccer field of North Otter Elementary, his principal warned that if he continued his violent ways, he would end up in an Asian gang.

The shocking comment was made to him nearly two decades ago, but it was only recently that the filmmaker decided to explore the idea that he might — perhaps — belong to an Asian gang and just not know it.

Bennett along with fellow writer/ filmmaker Callum MacLeod returned to Langley from their current home of Vancouver to make a short documentary exploring the topic of gang life in Langley in the 1990s.

The film features different elements of what makes Langley unique, from the Fort Langley Historic National site and Greater Vancouver Zoo (where even the painted animals look depressed) to the Langley Ukulele Ensemble.

It also spends time in Bennett’s family home in Langley where he shares a hilarious conversation with his mother, including asking her if she ever paid for Chinese food with sex.

“My poor mother, she’s had to endure

a lot of sh** from my brother and I,” said Bennett.

To make the film work Bennett insisted on bringing in the Grade 7 student he fought all those years ago.

“I tried to find him on Facebook and messaged him but didn’t hear,” he said.

The men reconnected through a friend of a friend and Bennett’s one-time nemisis agreed to be part of the film, so the two met at their former elementary school.

The 10 minute short ends up being a laughout-loud, nostalgic piece of art.

Bennett, for no better reason other than to keep his skills sharp and to test himself (and likely his sanity), has committed to creating 12 short films — one for each month of 2012.

“Well I can’t quit now and look like an idiot,” said the D.W. Poppy Secondary grad.

But for every “smarmy” moment of hilarity, he adds a serious element to each film.

In this documentary, he talks to a police officer who specialized in gangs in the 1990s as well as a young outreach worker who is a former gang member.

“I’m always trying to tell real stories with a goofy element,” he said.

Among the films he’s made so far is one that finds silliness in the feet that have been washing up on the shores of Vancouver.

That piece took a surprisingly dark turn into the alleyways of Lewis Bennett the Downtown Eastside a look at all the – filmmaker and missing women.

Shot in HD on a Cannon 5D DSL and edited using Final Cut Pro, the films have an impressive professional quality.

Filmmaking is Bennett’s passion. But so far, it doesn’t pay the bills.

“Our girlfriends are covering our budget,” laughs Bennett.

He said he did a bit of landscaping last week and tries to do some Internet marketing work to pay some bills.

With a gift for comedic timing and

“I’m always trying to tell real stories with a goofy element.”

creating films that truly grab the viewer from start to stop, Bennett would love to be able to be a filmmaker full-time.

“I’d love to work on longer projects, mixing documentary with made up stuff is kind of my thing,” he said.

“I like writing and directing.’

MacLeod said he makes films to make people laugh.

“Anytime I get paid for making people laugh, then you are winning,” said MacLeod, who is a correspondent for CFL.ca.

The two said their film Asian Gangs was a “true collaboration.”

Bennett’s latest film introduces a Port Kells deli shop owner dubbed by his customers as the “sandwich Nazi.”

The Lebanese-born sandwich maker requires that all his customers say please, often decides what is going on sandwiches and a ringing cellphone gets you kicked out of his shop.

This short comes with a big warning, said Bennett.

“Sal (the sandwich maker) is really, really lewd and there is nudity.

“He is a very interesting guy though,” he said.

“Our three days spent with him will not soon be forgotten.”

Times Reporter

Langley’s ‘Dean of Art’ has died.

Well-known local artist Al Colton passed away in his sleep on Thursday, June 7 at Langley Memorial Hospital.

The 90-year-old painter, whose images have hung everywhere from the Langley Centennial Museum to the National Gallery in Ottawa, found much of his inspiration in the history and natural beauty of the region, often painting local heritage buildings and landscapes in his distinctly colourful impressionist style.

And if one wanted to know how the artist felt about a particular subject, they need only flip through one of his many sketchbooks, where Colton imbued his artwork with social commentary — often, but not always, using humour to make his point.

Colton was a prolific painter, and since 1998 many of his pieces have hung in the Birthplace of B.C. Gallery in Fort Langley, while literally hundreds of others have filled the Langley City home he shared with his wife and fellow artist, Esther.

Colton was introduced to gallery owners Brenda and Kurt Alberts by Langley historian Warren Sommer, who was collaborating with Kurt on a book to commemorate the Township’s 125th anniversary. Several of Colton’s paintings are featured prominently in the softcover book.

During the time that Langley 125 – A Celebration was being compiled, many of Colton’s paintings were stored in Kurt’s office.

“His work was so impressionistic, it took me time to get used to it,” said Kurt.

But looking at them every day, the style grew on him. “I ended up falling in love with his paintings. You can always see something new (in them).”

Born in Toronto in 1921, Colton began his career as an artist with his studies at the Ontario College of Art in the mid 1930s.

When the war broke out, shortly after his 18th birthday, he joined the air force and spent three years as a flight instructor on the B.C. coast.

Working with charcoal on newsprint, he sketched portraits of other servicemen for $5 apiece.

It was during this time at Boundary Bay that Colton met Esther. She and a girlfriend came by for an art lesson, and within a week, he had proposed.

They were married for 67 years and had two children.

Langley Times file photo

Langley artist Al Colton passed away in hospital on June 7.

“One thing that came through with Al was his love for Esther,” said Kurt.

“They were real love birds.”

After the war, Colton taught art at both the elementary and secondary school levels before taking a job as the art co-ordinator for the city of Vancouver and then finishing up his working life as a postal clerk in Langley.

Sixty years later, Colton’s former students still drop by the Fort Langley gallery occasionally to share memories of their teacher, said Kurt, with one woman even bringing a small drawing the instructor had made to demonstrate use of perspective.

“He obviously had quite an impact on his students,” said Kurt.

Colton had been in extended care at LMH for almost a year when he passed away. Even in the last months, he stayed busy drawing in his sketch book.

“Painting kept him going. I think he lived longer because of that,” said Kurt.

“He truly lived his whole life to paint,” agreed Brenda Alberts.

“His whole life represented a passion for art.”

Colton passed that passion on to her and to the other artists who knew him, she said.

“He had such a great sense of humour, he was very witty. He taught me a lot about what I do.”

“There’s not one more thing that I think he needed to do,” said Brenda.

“He made use of every moment.”

Catch summer camp if you can SLT holding auditions, taking registrations for youth day camp Langley’s Tyler Seib will be at the helm when the next production from Surrey Little Theatre hits the stage in the fall.

Catch Me If You Can will run Oct. 25 to Nov. 17 at the little playhouse on 182 Street. But between now and then there will be plenty to do — not least, casting the production.

Auditions for the mystery/comedy will be held on Monday, June 18 and Tuesday, June 19 at 7 p.m. at Surrey Little Theatre, 7027 184 St. No appointment is necessary, just come on out on either one of the two nights and read from script selections that will be available in the lobby. Five men ages 35 to 65 and two women ages 25 to 50 will be cast with rehearsals beginning early September.

As well as directing the fall production, Seib, who is currently serving as president of SLT, will also offer technical instruction at the upcoming Youth Summer Day Camp for aspiring theatre folk, aged 12 to 18.

The camp will run June 16 to 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Classes will rotate throughout the five days, with three instructors facilitating the week, one in each of the three categories, drama, backstage/design and technical theatre.

Guest Instructors specializing in acting techniques and make-up application will also be brought in to round out the week’s lessons. It will all lead up to a final production, presented for parents and the community. Lunches are included in the $125 registration.

The Canadian team departs for London on July 9.

The Olympic Games run from July 27 to August 12.

Disappointed when she didn’t qualify for the 2008 Games in Beijing, Bennett-Awad is thrilled for another crack at the Olympics.

The track will be hilly and

long for the cross-country, “You need a horse that will be fast and quick and that is exactly what she (Gin & Juice) is.”

Bennett-Awad is no stranger to international success, helping Canada win silver at the World Equestrian Games in 2010 and the another silver medal at the Pan American Games in 2011.

The silver at the World Equestrian Games was Canada’s first medal at a major world equestrian championship since 1978 and qualified Canada for

the 2012 Olympics.

She thanked her husband, Gamal Awad, her mom, Gerry Bennett, and the rest of her family and friends.

“They are the people who have been through the good and the bad,” she said.

“I know who they are.

“You don’t get to this spot without good a good support team of owners, grooms, sponsors.

“I am very, very lucky I have a good group of people around me and am thankful for that.”

While the team is off to its best start ever, that did not stop the Langley Junior Thunder lacrosse squad from making a coaching change.

Prior to their 9-5 victory over the New Westminster Junior Salmonbellies on June 7 at the Langley Events Centre, head coach Dave Wilfong was replaced by Jake Elliott.

“It was apparent that the coaching staff and our management was not on the same page in terms of player personnel,” said Thunder president and governor Joe Willmott.

“There was nothing wrong with what they were doing as a coaching staff. It was philosophy and friction and the general manager decided it was time to make a change.”

Wilfong was in his first year as the Jr.Thunder coach and the team was off to a 5-5 start in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse

League.The team has started the season 0-4 before bouncing back to win seven — including Thursday’s game and a 13-10 victory on Saturday over Nanaimo — of their next eight games.

Two of his Wilfong’s assistant coaches, Rob Dalzell and Troy Margetson, also stepped down.

Dan Lewis remained on as an assistant and will be joined by Peter Tellis.

Elliott has seven years coaching experience at the junior and intermediate levels in western Canada.

He also works as the play-by-play voice of the National Lacrosse League’s Minnesota Swarm and as the team’s director of western scouting.

Following this past season, he was named the winner of the Tom Borrelli Award as the NLL media person of the year.

He takes over a Thunder squad which returned largely the same group as the one in 2011 which qualified for the post-season for the first time in six years.

The victory over the ’Bellies marked the return of 2011 MVP Reegan Comeault, who just completed his freshman season at Ohio State. Comeault had three goals and three assists in the 9-5 victory.

In the 13-10 win over Nanaimo, Brett Dobray scored six goals.

••••• Five straight victories have pulled the Langley senior A Thunder into a share of first place in the Western Lacrosse Association standings.

The Thunder (5-2-0) won three times in five days last week, defeating the Burnaby Lakers 13-7 on June 6, 12-8 over the New Westminster Salmonbellies on June 7 and then on Sunday, 13-10 over the Maple Ridge Burrards.

The latter two games were on the road, while the first was at the Langley Events Centre.

Alex Turner (three goals, two assists) and Lewis Ratcliff (two goals, three assists) paced the Thunder attack.

The Thunder host the Coquitlam Adanacs tomorrow (Wednesday) at the LEC.Game time is 7:45 p.m.

The meet was held June 6 at Abbotsford’s Rotary Stadium.

Leading the way was Robbie Gallaugher of the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club, who won gold in the long jump with a leap of 7.37m.

That was one of three medals won by Mustangs athletes as Eli Kastelein won gold in the 400m hurdles in a time of 57.53 and Ethan Wilkinson took bronze in the 400m in 50.43.

Jarid Vaughan of the Coquitlam Cheetahs won silver in the 100m race in 10.84 seconds while Fiona Bensen, who competes for the Trinity Western Spartans, was second in the 1500m race in 4:31.02.

Vaughan is an R.E. Mountain graduate, who competed for four years with the University of Texas at Arlington Mavericks and graduated with a degree in kinesiology in 2010.

Valley Royals’ Spencer Prince and Zach Choboter won silver and bronze, respectively, in the hammer throw and long jump.

Prince’s throw went 53m while Choboter leaped 6.02m.

Prince is a Brookswood graduate, while Choboter, who is from Aldergrove, attends Abbotsford’s St. John Brebeuf.

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS 21

COMING EVENTS

GUY, Philip Murray March 20, 1953 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; April 11, 2012

Philip Guy, the Son of Melvin and Marjorie Guy was born & raised in New Westminster, BC. Philip lost his lengthy fight with M.S. in the evening of April 11th, 2012 in the Langley Memorial Hospital, Marwood long term care facility. Philip was a dog lover, Harley Davidson fan and truck driver. He lived the last 30 plus years in Cloverdale. Philip is survived by his family Wayne & Carollyn Guy, Linda Anderson (sister), Richard & Cathy Guy and numerous nieces and nephews.

Philipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; request was for no service, so the family had a small remembrance luncheon at his favorite food source, the A & W on Fraser Highway in Langley on Sunday, June 10th for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bacon Burgers, fries & a root beerâ&#x20AC;?.

L.A. Stage Lighting Has the right lighting for all youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Party, DJ, Wedding and corporate needs.
