Langley man charged in 1999 murder MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Sandy Charlie

A 45-year-old Langley man has been arrested for the 1999 murder of a member of the Lytton First Nation band.

William Robert Smith was arrested without incident in Langley on Wednesday, Aug. 15, said RCMP. Smith has been charged with manslaughter in the death of Sandy Charlie. He is also charged with interference with a dead body.

He was being held in Surrey pretrial cells and was scheduled to be transferred to appear in Kamloops Provincial Court on Monday, Aug. 20.

It was on Jan. 20, 2000, that friends and family of Charlie reported that he had not been seen since late December 1999. The family had waited until Jan. 20, Charlie’s birthday, hoping that he would return or contact them. An extensive local search by the Lytton RCMP and volunteers was conducted.

Unfortunately, Charlie’s story took an additional tragic turn. On March 12, 2000 a body was located along the Fraser River near Lytton. The deceased was identified as Sandy Nolan Harry Cleghorn, Sandy Charlie’s son.

Cleghorn had been reported missing on Jan. 25, 2000 after he had travelled to Lytton to look for his father.

“Our empathy and thoughts go out to the Charlie family, not only for the uncertainty that has

been in place with Sandy, but the added loss of his son who was also trying to find his dad.” said Insp.

Gary Shinkaruk of E Division Major Crime Unit.

The case also underwent an extensive review by the RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit.

In 2005, the Provincial Unsolved Homicide Unit took control of the investigation and continued to review the numerous tips, investigacontinued, PAGE 5

Neighbourhood evacuated as police hunt for man MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

A Langley City neighbourhood was evacuated for more than an hour on Friday afternoon, as police hunted for a man at 20679 Eastleigh Cres.

Police and Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team members blocked off Eastleigh Crescent between 56 Avenue and Glover Road at 1:20 p.m. as they hunted for the man, who allegedly had a gun. Police Dog Services were also on scene.

Residents and employees of nearby apartment buildings and businesses were all evacuated as police searched for the suspect.

Police were advised by the suspect male’s roommate that he had been threatened, and the suspect could be in possession of a firearm. Police were able to make contact with the suspect, and after a very brief negotiation, the Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times suspect surrendered without Langley RCMP arrest a man after a Langley City neighbourhood was evacuated on Friday further incident. afternoon, following a report that a man had a gun.

Discrimination alleged to Human Rights Tribunal MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

A man claiming he was denied entry into the Langley Shark Club because of the colour of his skin will get to tell his story to the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.

Suringerjit Rai filed a complaint with the tribunal alleging the Shark Club of Langley discriminated against him because he is IndoCanadian.

The Shark Club said the complaint should be dismissed because Rai was denied entry for non-discriminatory reasons. They claim he was denied entry because he had no ID and for his subsequent belligerence.

On Aug. 15, B.C. Human Rights Tribunal member Marlene Tyshynski denied the dismissal request by the Shark Club, saying a hearing “with the benefit of a full document disclosure and the opportunity for cross-examination is required to determine whether this complaint is justified.”

On Dec. 9, 2011, Rai states in his claim that he, his wife, and three friends, all of whom are Indo-Canadian, went to the club to attend a graduation party for a friend/ relative.

From four signed statements from management and two doormen at the Sharks Club, the reason Rai was denied entry is because he didn’t have any ID. Langley’s Shark Club is part of Bar Watch which requires each patron to produce two pieces of ID that are scanned through a computer system to check if they are known.

The club also said it does not allow people into the club who are acting belligerent, intoxicated, abusive, etc.

The manager of the bar said he arrived to the scene of Rai yelling at the doorman. He told the group Marlene Tyshynski they weren’t going to be allowed human rights tribunal entry because of their aggression and attitude.

Management claims that Rai and his man to let them in. The host of the group was called and also asked the doorman to group remained in the parking lot taunting the doorman. let them in but to no avail, he states.

The Shark Club points out that if the Rai claims he watched around 20 Caucasians go inside while they were being business was racist, it wouldn’t have let in the rest of his group, which were Indodenied entry.

From Rai’s perspective, he states that he Canadian.

Rai denies that the doorman asked him asked the doorman’s name and then took a picture of him. A scuffle resulted and Rai or his group for ID. The tribunal said a hearing is often necwas knocked to the ground.

Almost all of Rai’s information is denied essary so conflicting evidence can be fully explored.

by Shark Club.

The other 21 Indo-Canadian party members were already inside the club.

Rai said they arrived 15 minutes past the reservation time and were told they could not enter because the rest of the guests were already inside at the ticketed event.

Rai claims they pleaded with the door-

20-year-old faces several charges in shooting MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

A 20-year-old man faces several serious charges after he is accused of firing a gun towards a neighbour’s house, with at least one shot hitting the man’s truck, following a dispute in south Aldergrove last Monday night.

Langley resident Slade Berggren is charged with careless use of a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unlawfully discharging a firearm and uttering threats.

He was expected to get a bail hearing on Friday. It wasn’t known by press time whether he is out on bail or not.

Dozens of police and the Emergency Response Team were called to the 1900 block of 269A Street late Monday night after shots were fired.

The man wasn’t injured but the shooter barricaded himself inside a home around midnight and refused to come out. ERT was able to get the man out and arrest him without incident around 6 a.m. on Tuesday, confirmed Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks.

Langley RCMP said the victim of the shots fired approached his neighbour to discuss some property damage that had occurred.

After a short discussion, the victim of the property damage returned to his own home. Shortly after that, a number of shots were fired. No one was hit by the discharged bullets, said police.

The shooting was a neighbourhood dispute which has been escalating, pitting a family of chicken farmers against some area residents, said the victim’s stepfather Cory Spitters.

They also question whether the loss of thousands of chickens a couple of weeks ago was an act of vandalism in this ongoing neighbourhood dispute. Spitters said the chickens died from lack of oxygen when a breaker was tripped, stopping all the fans in the barn from circulating air.

Some neighbours are very upset that the chicken farmers are expanding the business, Spitters claims.

When the insurance broker told Charlene Sierakowski she would have to pay a $230 fine before she could insure her car, she couldn’t believe it.

She says it was for an offence she didn’t commit, consuming liquor in a public place, on a night when she was working, “I was so shocked.”

That was the moment Sierakowski, a Langley resident, discovered she wasn’t done dealing with the theft of her purse during a visit to Crescent Beach earlier this year.

On March 6, the 19-year-old left her purse in the trunk of her grandfather’s car. She had borrowed it to take her dogs for a walk, while her car was off the road to have some mechanical work done.

Dan FERGUSON/Black Press

Charlene Sierakowski can’t drive her car because someone used her stolen ID to duck a fine.

Sierakowski returned from her visit to the dog park to discover someone got into the locked car trunk and stole her purse by ripping open the back seat.

Sierakowski immediately reported the theft to police and set about replacing her ID.

She wrote a letter to the Langley Times’ sister paper, the Peace Arch News that appeared in the March 15 edition, to warn readers about the theft.

Stolen licence used in public drinking citation from PAGE 4

ter had been dealt with until she went to insure her car on July 25.

That was when she was told that a Surrey Mountie wrote up someone for drinking in a public place almost two months earlier.

According to the violation ticket, the incident occurred at 6:55 p.m. on May 2 near 70A Avenue and 137A Street.

Sierakowski says she was at work when the ticket was issued, and she can prove it.

The person who used Sierakowski’s drivers’ licence signed the ticket, but the signature is nothing like the one on the licence.

They simply scrawled the initials “C.S.”

where the “alleged offender’s signature” is supposed to go on the ticket.

Sierakowski notes she’s been signing her full name since she was old enough to spell it.

Now, Sierakowski has to fill out a detailed ICBC Impersonation Package to get the ticket lifted and insure her sporty red Chevy Cavalier coupe.

The package, including any evidence to support her claim that she was working on the day of the incident, has to go to the issuing officer who wrote the ticket, who will

decide whether to accept or deny the claim.

Sierakowski, a 6’2” occasional model, is reasonably optimistic the person who used her licence doesn’t look much like her.

She says the police have assured her that her ID documents have now been flagged as stolen, and anyone who tries to use them to fool a police officer will be arrested and charged.

But the thief is still out there with her ID, and that has Sierakowski concerned.

She is leaving for China on Sept. 4 for a

three-week modeling assignment, and if her name is linked again to something criminal, she’s worried it could interfere with her trip.

And she vows she won’t leave her purse unattended again.

“Never ever,” she says.

“It never leaves my side.”

ICBC spokesperson Mark Jan Vrem says that if any customers believe they have been victims of driver impersonation, they can file a claim by visiting an ICBC point of service or by calling 604-661-2800.

tive findings as well as explored advances in forensic analysis. In September, 2011, human remains were located in the Lytton area, in a concealed makeshift grave.

Investigators determined forensically that it was Charlie.

The discovery allowed the homicide unit to advance the investigation and collect evidence which has lead to the arrest of Smith. Smith has a lengthy criminal history that appears to begin in Lytton around the same time of Charlie’s murder. His crimes moved to Abbotsford, with a most recent conviction for assault causing bodily harm in January 2011.

He was given 61 days in jail. He was charged with the same thing in 2008 in Coquitlam. He received three months in jail.

“Throughout the course of our investigation, RCMP officers were reminded that Mr. Charlie was a well-liked member of his community.

From what we have determined, Sandy did nothing to put himself in a situation where he would be harmed.

He was a true victim,” explains Shinkaruk.

Consuming about two grams of plant sterols per day has been shown to reduce your LDL (bad) cholesterol by five to 15 per cent. Plant sterols are found in cereals, legumes, nuts/seeds and vegetable oil and are used to fortify some foods such as margarine, yogurts and juices.

WE SAY

THEY SAY

A costly sacred cow

Put pipeline to voters

T

he BC Liberals have completely mishandled ICBC, and the proof came on Thursday, when a review showed that the company has been hiring boatloads of senior managers and paying them more each year — with the government apparently oblivious to this fact.

There are 32 per cent more managers than in 2007, and they are paid (as a group) 70 per cent more than managers received in 2007. Fiftyfour of them made more than $200,000 each in 2011.

The Liberals insisted, on taking office in 2001, that ICBC didn’t need to be privatized, nor did there need to be complete competition in the auto insurance sector. They merged ICBC operations with the motor vehicle branch, and had ICBC contribute to policing initiatives, and thus thoroughly muddled it with legitimate government activities. This has made it very difficult to unwind ICBC, the insurance company, from ICBC, the public policy arm.

They have also insisted, especially in recent years, that substantial dividends from ICBC go back to the shareholder — the government. This means that all ICBC customers, and that’s everyone who owns a vehicle, pay additional insurance premiums to boost government revenues. This is not a commercial transaction — it’s a tax grab, hidden in the guise of insurance costs.

The government has now, very belatedly, said ICBC needs to cut its management costs and manager compensation. This comes just after ICBC has boosted insurance rates by 11.2 per cent.

ICBC is being used by government for all sorts of purposes that are far afield from its ostensible role as a public car insurance company. This isn’t new — the NDP did this with ICBC back in its earliest days. But it certainly points out that the Liberals are just as good as the NDP at mismanaging Crown corporations and sticking taxpayers with extra costs.

ICBC needs to be privatized. This of course won’t happen under a new NDP government, nor under a re-elected Liberal government. ICBC is a sacred cow.

There is no real need to have government operate a car insurance company that forces all drivers to buy at least basic car insurance from it.

If there was true competition in all aspects of car insurance, most good drivers would see their premiums reduced, and they wouldn’t be paying a hidden tax when insuring vehicles.

erhaps Premier Christy Clark sees a battle with Alberta — over revenue from allowing the Enbridge pipeline to use B.C. to link Alberta oil with tankers on the Pacific Ocean — as the last hope to rally voters in time for the spring 2013 election campaign.

It stands to reason, since the B.C. NDP has staked the opposedto-pipeline position and the B.C. Conservatives have claimed the support-with-conditions spot.

However, by demanding that B.C. receive oil royalties from profits made from what flows through the pipeline, Clark is simply catering to those who already support the Enbridge proposal.

Those opposed have said loud and clear it is not about money, but about inevitable environmental damage.

Grand Chief Edward John of the First Nations Summit political executive summed it up in a scathing press release, when he said the B.C. Liberal government has missed the mark, stressing “B.C. First Nations’ traditional territories and pristine environment are not for sale.”

John reminded Clark of the Supreme Court of Canada’s stance that there is a legal requirement for governments to “consult and accommodate” First Nations regarding any and all land and resource development initiatives in their respective territories.

If First Nations cannot be convinced to allow a pipeline to be constructed through their territories, the pipeline simply will not be built.

With Clark’s demand having been rejected by Alberta Premier Alison Redford, with First Nations still on the sidelines and with strong opposition among the public, perhaps it would be wise for Clark to add a non-binding referendum question to the May 14, 2013 general election ballot.

A simple question — Are you in favour of the Enbridge pipeline proposal? — could produce results that tell the government of the day exactly which direction it should travel on this pipeline proposal.

letters Zoo offers explanations The

Langley Times

Editor: We at Greater Vancouver Zoo were concerned to hear about Shanaya Smith’s recent experiences here and would like to respond to her comments (The Times, Aug. 14) .

First we would like to sincerely apologize for the unpleasant greeting she received at our front admission. When visitors are greeted at the zoo, we want it to be a great first impression. We work hard at providing appropriate training and coaching to our staff, and without hearing from our guests as to how we are doing, we sometimes are not aware of where we need to focus more efforts on additional training.

In respect to pricing, we charge $22.25 for adults of which $0.25 of that goes towards conservation efforts in the wild.

Currently we are supporting three projects — the Iranian Cheetah Project, the Guatemalan Yellow-Naped Amazon Parrot and the Indian Horned Bill Nest. One hundred per cent of the proceeds go directly back to these projects. Even though we don’t house these animals, we want to help support them in the wild.

I agree the Calgary Zoo is a fantastic facility, and they charge $21 for adults — similar pricing to ours. It is a city-run facility with much more corporate and government funding than we have. Our funding comes directly from admission, school groups, private events, behind the scenes, corporate groups and small camp groups.

It is expensive to run a facility such as ours and we are always looking for new ways to help raise funds to continually enhance what we are doing.

The Bald Eagles have an enclosure in the North American section of the zoo and are

rescue eagles. The eagles were hit by vehicles and would have been euthanized since their wings were broken. We were called by conservation officers and asked if we would take them in our facility for educational purposes.

After careful consideration, the zoo decided to take on the project and build a new facility strictly for these bald eagles that were unable to fly anymore.

The rhino — our dear sweet “Charlie” — is the oldest animal at the zoo. We believe he is in his mid-40s. Charlie is by himself at this stage in his life — it would be too stressful to introduce another friend to him.

He does have rheumatoid arthritis, as many seniors do, and he definitely is slowing down, although he routinely goes out to graze. We refill his mud hole so that he can have his regular mud baths.

We trim his horn regularly as he ages, as he seems less interested to maintain his horn trimming on his own. When younger, rhinos maintain their horn trimming for a defensive territory for females. As Charlie ages, this has lessened over the years leading his horn shape to change.

His horn is made of compressed keratin fibers, the same material that is found in our fingernails and hair, so it doesn’t hurt him to do this. He is starting to lose his hearing and is on regular medication to help him with his aches and pains.

He loves his daily rubs, leg massages and scratches in addition to many special treatments that he receives from our dedicated animal care staff. On a daily basis, he moves around both his indoor and outdoor enclosure, along with eating (on a restricted senior diet).

He receives regular check-ups with our ani-

Township gets ready to intimidate homeowners Editor: Recently, there appeared on my front steps a pamphlet from the Township. It was a stern message about using my Green Can, bylaw No. 4845, etc. I’m sure most homeowners in the Township received this pamphlet.

Its message sounded threatening, so I read it over very carefully, as I do not always have a need to use my Green Can. I have a compost.

I felt quite intimidated until I read the note at the bottom of page 2. This indicated that I could still use my compost, as it is still the most cost-effective way to dispose of uncooked fruits, vegetables, and lawn trimmings. I also use my compost for coffee grinds, old napkins, etc. I assumed this to be okay.

Relieved that I was not breaking bylaw No The

4845, I then sat back in my easy chair and started to read the local paper. I nearly fell over backwards when I turned to the Township Page in The Times.

There staring at me was an example of a sad face sticker that the Township is now going to issue to all who do not put out a Green Can on garbage day. I was horrified.

What am I to do? What will my neighbours think of me — A bylaw breaker in their midst?

I’m sure the bylaw officer will be cruising the neighbourhoods looking for sad face stickers, ticket book in hand. It is just a matter of time before the bylaw enforcement officer hands me my ticket. Oh the shame.

I am so confused.

mal health technician and our veterinarian.

The wallaby that we believe she referred to is called “Coco.” She may have been asleep, as when they sleep they sit back on their tail and usually stay a little bit away from the fence area in order to have some quiet time. Obviously people get excited when they see animals, and sometimes will talk or even yell at times to get the animals’ attention.

The shaking behaviour referred to we have never seen, although it would be helpful in the future if anyone who visits our facility sees unusual behaviour in any of our animals to report it to a keeper or the front admission immediately. This allows us to check on the animal at that exact time.

In respect to construction, there is a large sign at the entrance of the zoo that explains our construction areas. Signs are also posted where the construction is happening.

We tried to complete the construction during the off season. Unfortunately, we were not able to complete it during that time for numerous reasons.

I would be more than happy to talk further with Shanaya is she wants to contact me directly at jhenderson@gvzoo.com. We are the first to admit we are not perfect, although I don’t think anyone is perfect in the world. We are always making efforts to move forward and always looking at ways to enhance the lives of the animals that are in our care.

Everyone at the Greater Vancouver Zoo is very passionate about animals and their well being. We hope that you might consider giving us another chance, now that you have heard a bit more.

Jody Henderson, general manager, Greater Vancouver Zoo

Time to get rid of Liberals Editor: What a joke.

After reading Joe Sawchuk’s letter about not voting NDP (The Times, Aug. 16), when I stopped laughing, I felt compelled to reply.

What do we have after over a decade of Gordon Campbell, and now Christy Clark? Hey Joe, let me enlighten you.

We have an ever-deteriorating education system that is grossly underfunded because of the Liberals’ right-wing policies. In over a decade, the Liberals have eroded the health care system into a serious mess — with no recovery in sight.

This is not to mention lies, lies, and more lies. Many of them have been related to the BC Rail giveaway.

Sorry Joe, but my thinking is exactly the opposite — another term of these guys and this province is finished. What a frightening thought.

My vote is for the NDP, thanks very much.

Jack McEwen, Langley Letters to the editor are welcome. Send letters to newsroom@langleytimes.com.

Full-time jobs are good Editor: It should be obvious to practically everyone that, statistically speaking, one month’s job stats taken in isolation do not make for a trend. In order to spot a trend, one has to look at year over year stats.

And when I look at the year over year job stats for B.C., I see 36,500 fulltime positions gained in B.C. since September 2011. These full-time positions replaced 27,800 part-time positions over the same period. That, my friends, is a meaningful trend.

If one goes back a bit further to February of last year, more than 78,800 fulltime positions have been gained in B.C., replacing 32,000 part-time positions.

The job trend is therefore very obvious: Full-time positions are replacing part-time positions in significant numbers. The trend also shows that Premier Christy Clark’s efforts to create jobs is working and working very well indeed for B.C. Naveed Waraich, Surrey

Two sets of abortion rights Editor: Some women say they have the right to choose when it comes to abortion. But I always say it is selfish.

It is selfish because they are only thinking about themselves and not the

baby. The baby should have rights too, like the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Alleviating first-day school jitters The first day of school can create butterflies in the stomachs of parents and children. However, following a few tips can alleviate feelings of nervousness.

August and September are prime months for the return to school.

Whether this is a child’s first time entering the classroom or he or she has done the back-to-school thing multiple times, it’s not uncommon for feelings of anxiety to arise.

There are expectations and unknowns with each and every school year for both the students and their parents.

Pivotal years, such as kindergarten, 6th grade for middle-schoolers, freshman year of high school, or the start of college can create added levels of jitters because these years mark entry to a new school or new routine. But keeping a few pointers in mind can alleviate some of the fears. * Keep a routine. It is important for parents and students to get back into the school swing of things a few weeks prior to the first day of school. Start setting alarm clocks for the hour at which kids will have to awaken, and get them in the habit of rising from bed and starting the day. Try to schedule something to do each day that will be the inspiration for getting moving, such as school supply shopping. Take the carpool route to school, or find out where the school bus stop may be.

These practice sessions will enable the family to decide how much time is needed to get ready in the morning and make changes accordingly.

school, its policies, and who will be watching over their children. * Don’t be nervous. Children often look to their parents for guidelines on how to behave. A parent who is overly nervous or sad about the first day of school could make their kids nervous, too. Put on a brave face and keep any anxiety hidden until kids have left for school. * Be prepared. Gather supplies, practice the driving route, lay out clothes, make lunch the night before, get a good night’s rest, and set the alarm clock. Knowing all of the controllable factors are handled can ease the mind of parents and students. * Stay positive. Always keep conversations about school geared toward the positive. If children mention things that frighten them, calm those fears and show the upside to attending school. Provide examples of your own school experiences and how everything turned out for the best.

* Mention school frequently. Begin talking about school and what is necessary to prepare. Be sure to talk about the more enjoyable aspects of school, such as seeing friends, participating in extracurricular activities and even the change of scenery school provides. Mention the things your child may expect. Hearing about school frequently can reduce feelings of anxiety. * Visit the school. If this is the student’s first time entering this school, you can take advantage of orientation days for new students or schedule an individual visit to the school. A tour and a meeting with the principal will also assuage some fears of the unknown. This can also calm any apprehension parents may have, because they, too, will know the layout of the

“Come home.”

The first day of school can be a time of uncertainty for students and parents.

Adults are facing a new stage in their lives, and children are awaiting a classroom of new faces and requirements.

Preparing for the first day can alleviate some of the anxiety about heading off to school for a new year.

In the meantime, the ensemble is preparing for the release of its latest album, A Ukulele Rock ‘n Roll Review.

It features covers of the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Tom Petty, Simon and Garfunkel, and Neil Young. One of the tracks is Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.

The CD can be bought online at www. langleyukes.com, or at the Langley Ukulele Ensemble’s annual autumn concert which will be held at Peace Portal Alliance Church, 15128 27B Ave. in Surrey, on Saturday, Oct. 13 at 7:30 p.m.

This was not only at the peak of the once the beetle-killed timber becomes epidemic, it was one year before devastoo degraded to cut in the next few tating wildfires raced through the Inteyears? rior in the summer of 2003.

Committee members hold out hope “In 2002, the government removed its that extending the cut to less economic obligation to replant those areas, and cut timber stands can reduce this impact as the budget by 90 per cent,� Macdonald well. But with the current cut far above told me. “The three-year budget that’s in historical levels to maximize beetle-kill harvest, some industry contraction seems front of us is keeping on the downward slide, and it’s not what people in cominevitable. munities are saying is the answer.

when environmental changes have been sweeping.

Steve Thomson, minister of the newlyamalgamated forests, lands and natural resource operations ministry, points to the urgent efforts to upgrade the government’s detailed picture of the state of the forests, so it can consider new cutting, planting and fertilizing efforts. But there’s no denying that he came to the job in a crisis that will take more spending in the future, and he will have a hard time finding it as Finance Minister Kevin Falcon looks to balance the books for the 2013 election.

If nothing else, the pine beetle epidemic has forced the B.C. government to consider some of the intensive forest management that we hear about in Scandinavia, one of those places that supplies B.C. with wood furniture.

And it has prompted renewed interest in offering new forest tenures to aboriginal communities with unresolved resource claims.

Under current law, the government can only directly award new forest tenures to aboriginal communities. So part of the committee’s proposed solution is to “expedite negotiations� with the Burns Lake First Nations to give them a chance to harvest some of the marginally economic forest areas that remain.

And it’s more than just cabinets. Cowry also owns a stone factory to fabricate granite and quartz countertops for Cowry’s customers only.

“Customers will have the experience of one stop kitchen at any Cowry store,” Xiang said.

“Customers can have cabinets, countertops, sinks, kitchen appliances etc. from the same Cowry store.”

What began as one man’s frustration with a home renovation has grown into a successful business with excellent rapport.

When Cowry’s owner first moved to Richmond from the United States, he found that most of the cabinet companies

supplied very high-end and expensive products. It was then that he decided to introduce the idea of pre-made cabinets to the market — a much less-expensive approach.

“He thinks the kitchen is the most important room in a home and wants every family to have a beautiful kitchen that they can afford,” Xiang said.

Today his philosophy has expanded to nine locations across B.C. Hurry in now to take advantage of our Summer NO HST Sale and with the single purchase of countertops over $2,500 you can also receive a beautiful stainless steel sink for only $49.99.

Aldergrove singer, 12, Gardens In Bloom is a star on the rise Contest

Young singer, actor taking to the stage at the PNE KURT LANGMANN Black Press

Jada McKenzie-Moore is only 12 years old, but the Aldergrove girl is already making a name for herself as a stage performer.

Jada has appeared in six stage productions, 20 short films and sings every weekend at the Richmond Night Market, where she is also the cohost.

An impressive resumé for the bubbly youth, but she continues to seek new avenues to explore her talents.

Among these new avenues is her entry into the PNE’s Star Showdown, which began on Aug. 18.

This year, Jada made the semifinals of the talent contest, and aims to join the ranks of past winners such Michael Bublé and Carly Rae Jepsen.

She has done well in other competitions as well, making the top three of the International

Aldergrove’s Jada McKenzieMoore, 12 is among the semi-finalists performing at the PNE’s Star Showdown Village Children’s Talent Show, a finalist in the B.C. Junior Talent Search, and out of a field of 650 she made the top 40 of the Next Star competition hosted by YTV. She also received word recently that she achieved the top six of Virtual Next Star contest, sponsored by YTV. The Virtual Next Star winner is decided

by on-line votes until Aug. 24.

The winner gets a trip to Toronto to see the finale, live, at Canada’s Wonderland.

A video of her performance of “I’m a Star” from Hello Dolly has helped her gain success. That video and several others are available for viewing on Youtube.

She is one of 10 youths, aged seven to 12, selected for the PNE Star Showdown, and she plans to sing “Dynamite” from Ant Farm at the PNE’s semi-finals.

If she makes the final round she plans to sing “Wide Awake” by Katy Perry, featuring seven background vocals of her own in the backing track.

Jada and her family moved to Aldergrove from Richmond a year ago so that she would access to the arts programs at the Abbotsford School of Integrated Arts, and Langley Fine Arts School when she moves into her junior high school years. She is also enrolled at Kick it Up A Notch dance studio in Aldergrove.

She achieves top grades in academics but relishes the dancing, acting and singing aspects of these schools, and would like to have a career in musical theatre when she graduates.

Submit a photo of your garden in full bloom and tell us what you love about it. Do you have any unique features, design elements, heritage plants or exotic species?

Enter for a chance to WIN:

1st Prize – Gift Certificate for $300 2nd Prize – Gift Certificate for $125 3rd Prize – Gift Certificate for $75 Enter online at www.langleytimes.com Full contest details online.

Inexplicable use of artificial colour gives her the blues

W

hen did blue raspberry become a thing?

I have personally never seen a real life blue raspberry, but they seem to be showing up all over the place these days.

With several delectable exceptions — blueberries, potatoes and perhaps corn, food should not be blue — I have read on the internet (so it must be true) that the artificial “blue� raspberry flavor was developed so one could distinguish the raspberry from the strawberry flavor in a box of Popsicles.

What?

Has confusing our berries become such an atrocity that we have been forced to add all that fake colour into an otherwise harmless frozen treat?

All I can say is it’s a darn good thing no one makes a huckleberry Popsicle, what would happen then?

Truth be told, blue raspberry popsicles always looked like frozen Windex to me, holding no appeal whatsoever. I generally avoid them.

Most recently at a party I was offered a blue raspberry martini,

even BIGGER savings this year at:

and after some consideration, my second cocktail thought process Food for was ‘why, when Thought given an option ANGIE to have a red raspberry martini would an adult chose a blue one?’ Neither was coloured — vodka is clear.

It was really just the name on the bottle and apparently the “flavours� infused into the vodka.

I don’t get it. What is more appealing about a “blue raspberry� martini over a “raspberry� martini?

If you think about if for just a second, the latter sounds fresh, summery, refreshing and natural.

It actually sounds quite delicious, but the former sounds like it will result in an instant headache and a blue tongue, which honestly still holds less than zero appeal now that I am older than 12 and at a cocktail party chatting with friends.

I think it’s hard to take someone seriously when their tongue and lips are blue, but maybe that’s just me.

Maybe the manufacturers are actually targeting 12-year-olds with their blue raspberry vodka, QUAALE or just maybe we have become so conditioned to associating blue with raspberry that it actually seems natural to us.

Please say it isn’t so.

Blue raspberry should be nail polish, the name of a smurf or perhaps the colour of a bicycle or car, but it should not have anything to do with something we consume.

If it is true and people become so incredibly confused and disorientated when faced with the “is it strawberry or is it raspberry?� dilemma I would suggest we just stop packaging them together.

Make it a law: no more mixed fruit boxes of popsicles, freezies, gum balls or jolly ranchers.

Problem solved.

Oh, and let’s just forget about cherry altogether.

Strange life for Norwegian resistance Àghter and navy veteran Tyler Orton

Paul Jacobsen says he’s one of the lucky ones.

S

itting deep on his couch with one foot up on the coffee table, the 93-year-old veteran is at ease talking about his experiences during the Second World War. “I think I went through the war without any scars,” he says.

The types of scars he’s talking about were left to others he knew such as a merchant sailor reduced to uncontrollable shaking after being torpedoed three times.

But Jacobsen says he never spent time as a young man contemplating the danger he faced as the Nazis ravaged Europe.

An array of wood carving awards and ribbons drapes the wall behind him as the Aldergrove man thumbs through an old photo album. He points to a black and white picture of a freighter.

That’s where it all began.

As a teen Jacobsen hoped to sail the world as a chief engineer in the merchant navy.

Over the next three years, he took jobs on ships whenever possible and occupied himself as a metalworker in months seafaring gigs were scarce.

Just 20 years old in 1939, Jacobsen was serving on a ship in the Gulf

of Mexico when Germany invaded Poland. He was promptly conscripted into the Royal Norwegian Navy to serve on a patrol boat built in the previous century.

“To see the Norwegian Navy at that time, it was really outdated,” Jacobsen says with a smile.

That ship cruised along the coast laying mines for the next few months while the country remained neutral.

When the boat docked on land in April 1940, a Norwegian man calling himself The Sheriff greeted the fourman crew by telling them they were prisoners of Germany.

“The skipper just told him, ‘Kiss my ass. We’re going to England,’” Jacobsen recalls.

They left the harbour with enough fuel in the ship to make it across the North Sea, however, the patrol boat ran aground during the evening and sank.

Jacobsen says the four of them convinced a farmer to let them trade their lifeboat for his row boat.

They then spent the next 10 days paddling south in an effort to go home.

During that 300-mile trek down the coast they mostly encountered

people confused about what was going on and what the invasion meant. Some didn’t even understand who had attacked them.

Upon reaching Oslo, Jacobsen discovered some of his friends in the

army had been taken prisoner and made to sign papers agreeing never to bear arms against Germany.

Still, a Norwegian army lieutenant was organizing underground forces and Jacobsen joined up with a group

of soldiers, where he was the sole navy man.

Norwegian commandos began training the men how to demolish heavy machinery and sabotage railway lines in order to disrupt German war efforts. Meanwhile, the underground forces armed themselves with munitions and guns that had been parachuted down to the nearby mountains.

It wasn’t long, however, before London command ordered the resistance fighters to take to the bush and hide when one of their comrades was captured by the Gestapo.

But after a few weeks, seven of the men had enough of hopping from cabin to cabin in the wilderness.

“They said the Germans have forgotten us now,” Jacobsen recalls.

His friends were wrong.

The Nazi secret police immediately rounded up, tortured and executed the resistance fighters upon their arrival home.

Meanwhile, Jacobsen and another member of the underground crossed the border into neutral Sweden to evade their pursuers.

He bided his time for a few months by taking a metalwork class before finding passage on an unarmed cargo plane bound for Scotland.

A postcard sent from Stockholm was the last his family heard from continued on next page

Active body, active mind…

Right before the mine plunged back into the sea, the ship’s captain told the crew to bend their knees in case of an explosion.

Jacobsen later told the commanding officer he didn’t think it mattered whether they stood with straight or bent legs. “(The captain) said, ‘I know that, but I had to say something.’”

Jacobsen served two years on the minesweeper before making his way home to Norway in December 1945 a few months after the war ended.

Back home he resumed work as a welder before getting married and immigrating to Canada in 1959 along with his wife and two daughters.

Not long after his arrival in Vancouver, he walked into a downtown travel bureau to find a Norwegian newspaper. In it contained a list of Norwegian ships out to sea, one of which was docked just north of Main Street.

He made his way onto the boat to find its captain reading a paper. “’Paul, is that you?’”

Jacobsen remembers hearing.

The captain had lifted his eyes above the broadsheet – it was the skipper from the Norwegian patrol boat. After nearly two decades and a permanent move to another hemisphere, Jacobsen still found himself on a ship with his captain.

And even as the years since the war have gone by, his experiences have not been forgotten. Just last November Jacobsen travelled back to his motherland where King Harald V of Norway presented him with a certificate honouring his service in the navy.

He pauses a bit when trying to summarize his experiences.

Dobray a rising star in lacrosse ranks GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Had a concussion not cost Brett Dobray nearly half the season, Langley Junior Thunder general manager Brock Rose is convinced that Brett Dobray could have captured even more league recognition.

Dobray was leading the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League in scoring after a dozen games before a concussion sidelined him for the rest of the regular season. He did return for a pair of postseason games.

Until his injury, the 18-year-old rookie sniper with the Thunder had notched 26 goals and 46 points.At that pace, he would have contended for the league scoring title, rookie of the year consideration and perhaps even been a nominee for most valuable player in the league.

His 26 goals were still tops on Langley.

Dobray was the recipient of the league’s most sportsmanlike player award when the winners were announced on Friday.

“I think Brett is on pace to be considered one of the elite players in our league,” Rose predicted.

What sets Dobray apart is what all elite players have working in their favour: superior vision and an ability to see a play develop before it happens.

“Brett just sees things so rapidly and he can develop things that other people can’t even anticipate happening.””

Rose described.

“Just think of all the super star players in any league: they are dealing with a pentium computer chip that operates faster than everybody else.They see the play develop well before anyone else and that is Brett.”

Dobray said although he would trade having played a full season over continued, PAGE 33

Both brothers played in the B.C. “We both bring something different Premier Baseball League, Jon with the to the table, but we have the same Abbotsford Cardinals and Zach with attitude towards playing, that grinder the Langley Blaze. mentality,” Jon said.

And after graduating from

For the first time in their baseball careers, Jon and Zach Mihic had the chance to be teammates GARY AHUJA Times Sports

There was no hesitation in Jon Mihic’s answer.

A few years ago, Jon’s collegiate team was facing his younger brother Zach’s Langley Blaze squad during a tournament in Arizona.

The question posed to Jon was what would he have done had he been rounding third base and waved home only to find his brother, a catcher, blocking the plate?

“I would take him out for sure,” the elder Mihic answered.

“I wouldn’t go out to hurt him or anything, but we both play the game really hard.

“I wouldn’t hit him extra hard just because he is my brother.

“If I was catching, he would do the same thing; nothing personal or anything.

“I know we play the game hard and I wouldn’t expect anything less.”

Thankfully, it never came down to that.

This summer has been special for the brothers as Jon, 22, and 19-yearold Zach have played on the same team for the first time.

And they made the most of the opportunity, helping the Langley Senior Blaze capture the B.C. senior men’s provincial baseball championship in Prince George

“We have that same attitude towards playing, that grinder mentality.”

“He is more offensively minded, for me, I am more all-around,” Zach said.

Jon led Kansas Wesleyan this past season with 57 hits and 48 RBIs. He was also tops in extra-base hits with 22 (15 doubles, two triples and five home runs).

And at this stage in their careers, the brothers try and help each other out in their areas of strength.

“He has helped me with my swing and I try and help him with the field,” Zach said.

“We work back and forth, trying to get each other better.”

“It has been a blast, being home and getting to play my brother,” Zach added.

“It has been pretty cool.”

“Just playing on the same team, it has been neat to see how we have developed as players,” Jon added.

And while his younger brother has departed for school, the elder of the Mihic brothers is with the Senior Blaze for a few more weeks as they prep for the Grand Forks International Tournament, an elite tournament which Langley won in 2011.

After that, Jon will continue training towards his goal of landing a tryout for an Independent League team next season.

Zach, who hit .282 and started 22 of the team’s 37 games as a freshman, is entering his sophomore season with Mayville State.

And while it can be tough in small town North Dakota with cold winters — he described a couple of -40 degree nights — overall he has no complaints.

“Waking up every day and going out to play baseball pretty much every day,” he said.

“It really is a dream come true.”

Thunder land two on all-star team

from PAGE 31

winning an award, it is a nice recognition.

“It is nice that everybody still noticed me and the type of player I am,” he said.

The 18-year-old has played the game since he was five, moving up

through the ranks of the Langley Minor Lacrosse Association.

Dobray said he loved it right away, especially as a goal scorer.

“Every time you score a goal, it is an exciting feeling,” he said.

And scoring goals have never been a problem

for Dobray.

He led the B.C. Intermediate Lacrosse League in 2011 with 68 goals and was second with 99 points in 23 games.

Despite his proven track record for finding the back of the net, Dobray was still a little surprised for his immediate success at the junior A level.

“The guys are obviously bigger and stronger (at this level),” he said.

Dobray, who graduated from Langley Secondary in 2011, is

hoping to land a field lacrosse scholarship to a U.S. college.

He will be back next season for his second year with the junior A Thunder.

••••• The Thunder’s Brandon Bull and Nick Stone were named second team league all-stars. Bull was tenth in league scoring with 25 goals, 32 assists and 57 points to lead the Thunder while Stone was tied for 12th with 15 goals, 41 assists and 56 points.

Thunder strike first in WLA final The Langley Thunder drew first blood in the Western Lacrosse Association championship series.

After an even opening 20 minutes where both teams scored once, the Thunder outscored the Coquitlam Adanacs 6-2 over the final two periods to win 7-3 in game one of the best-ofseven series.

It was played on Sunday night at the Langley Events Centre.

Garrett Billings opened the scoring for Langley and finished the game with two goals and two assists.

Joel McCready also notched

a pair of goals for the Thunder while Brett Hickey, Rob Van Beek and Athan Iannucci each had one goal. Iannucci also had an assist while Lewis Ratcliff chipped in with three helpers.

Ian Poole also found the scoresheet with an assist and he also made his presence felt in the face-off circle, winning 11 of the 13 draws.

Game two of the series is on tonight (Tuesday) at Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports Complex before the series returns to the LEC on Thursday.

All games are at 7:45 p.m.

Team BC golden at State Wars GARY AHUJA Times Sports

A provincial roller hockey team with a strong Langley contingent was too much for the competition at the elite State Wars championships.

The nine-player team — half of whom are from Langley — captured top spot in their division at the roller hockey championship held in St. Louis, Mo. earlier this month.

“It definitely feels good because in 2009 we came second,” said Dawson Brown, a forward on the B.C. squad.

“It feels good to come back and win.”

B.C. went 7-0 at the tournament including a 6-2 victory over Florida in the 1998 AAA division gold medal game earlier this month.

The tournament ran Aug. 3 to Aug. 6.

“I thought we had a good shot to win,” added another of the local players, Baylee Wright.

“We had won it before and we had a good team.”

Wright played up a year in 2010 and helped the B.C. 1997 squad win gold in their division at the event.

“It was exciting to bring back the gold.”

Wright led the team in scoring

with 11 goals and 11 assists in the preliminary round and then another two goals and seven assists in the three playoff games.

Another Langley player, Luc Gingras was stellar in goal. He posted a 1.50 goals against average during pool play and then dropped that down to 1.00 in the playoff round. Gingras also had a shutout in both rounds.

The majority of the players are from the Westcoast Roller Hockey League which plays out of the Walnut Grove Sportsplex.

The players attended a tryout back in May at Sportsplex and were selected to represent B.C. at the State Wars tournament.

Brown, a late addition to the team, finished the entire tournament with four goals and five assists.

The two other Langley players were Spencer Gerth (eight goals, three assists) and Dennis Cholowski (four goals,four assists).

The other team members were South Delta’s Sam Kozlowski (seven goals, four assists), Delta’s Nick Wicks (five goals, five assists) and Prince George’s Darren Hards (nine goals, four assists) and James Gordon (two goals, three assists).

A pair of local hockey players have made the final roster and will play at the U18 national women’s championships.

Langley’s Chelsea Wilson and Aldergrove’s Sarah Potomak were on the final roster unveiled by BC Hockey last week (Aug. 9).

The roster was selected following a Team BC summer development camp with the

Kazakhstan women’s national team.

The Kazakhstan team won two out of the three games they played in Salmon Arm. Wilson, who turns 16 in September, is a five-footfive, 120-pound forward and Potomak is a five-foot-five, 135-pound forward. Potomak turns 15 in December and is the youngest player on the

20-person roster.

She played last season with the Pursuit of Excellence program out of Kelowna while Wilson played for the Fraser Valley Phantom of the B.C. Hockey Female Midget AAA League.

Team BC will compete at the U18 national championships in Dawson Creek from Nov. 7 to 12.

The Langley Rams remained unbeaten after week 3 of the B.C. Junior Football Conference thanks to a 66-8 victory over the visiting Chillwack Huskers (0-3) at McLeod Park on Saturday.

“We didn’t perform the way we would have liked, regardless of what the score was,” said Langley coach Jeff Alamolhoda.

“We took a couple of plays of during the game and we took way too many penalties.

“We just weren’t playing at the level that we know we are capable of, regardless of what the score looked like.And when we did play at that level, then we ran away with that game.”

“At the end of the day, our guys put it back together, they got loud on the sidelines and they got encouraged,” Alamolhoda said.

“They fought real hard to do the things right.They reduced the penalties in the second half and put points on the board and got stops when they needed to.”

Quarterback Greg Bowcott continued

Langley Rams receiver Malcolm Williams high-fives a coach following one of Williams’ three touchdown catches in a 66-8 rout of the visiting Chilliwack Huskers.

three more touchdown passes — to give him six in the past two weeks — and 105 yards.

Michael Patko, Steven Martinez and Nick Downey also caught touchdown scores.

Downey also had two punt returns for touchdowns — a 60-yarder and a 63-yarder — and finished the night with 201 return yards.

That puts him over 2,400 return yards, bettering the league record of 2,393 held by former Vancouver Island Shark/ Victoria Rebels player Jason Marsh, who played from 1997 to 2001.

The defence was also dominant, as they held the Huskers (0-3) to 62 yards rushing and 77 yards passing.

Linebacker Arie Nakagawa led the way with five tackles.

The Rams also had four quarterback sacks — Brandon Klein had a pair and Evan Foster and Jarron Ralf had one apiece.

Jeremy Preston came up with a fumble recovery and Nick Stoyeff intercepted the final pass of the game.

Next up for Langley is a game on Saturday (Aug. 25) when they host the Okanagan Sun (1-2) at McLeod Park. Kick off is at 7 p.m.

OBITUARIES

Annie Katarina Anderson June 28, 1916 - August 14, 2012

A most wonderful soul has left us to be with her Savior. Survived by her two loving sons, Gordon and Dennis of Langley & Surrey. Six grandchildren - Wayne, Karen, Daryl (Tracey), Kevin (Jennifer) Linda (Keith) and Duane. Eight great grandchildren - Curtis, Kelsey, Annika, Connor, Taryn, Brayden, Alisha, Taylor and many nieces and nephews from western Canada and Ontario. Annie was predeceased by her husband, John in 1967 and by 3 sisters and 4 brothers. Annie was born on the family homestead in Bergland, Ontario near Kenora. She married and had her two sons in Fort Francis, Ontario. The family moved to the west coast in 1941, settling in Surrey. Annie was a working wife and mother for 50 years in various occupations with the last 24 years at “Linden Lodge,” a care home for the mentally challenged that was constructed in south Langley in 1971 and sold in 1994. She co-managed this facility with her son Gordon. Annie was a very hard working, devoted, caring and giving person; she supported many charities over her lifetime.

Mom, you will be missed and lovingly remembered by all your family, relatives and friends. Rest in the peace that you so richly deserve.

A celebration of Annie’s life will be held on Thursday, August 23rd at 10:00 am at Henderson's Funeral Home, 20786 Fraser Hwy. Langley, followed by a reception on site and interment at Valley View Cemetery.
