Murder suspect back in court this week M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s R e p o r t e r

Nearly eight years after Aldergrove’s Margaret Redford was murdered, her accused killer will be in Supreme Court for a pre-trial conference on Wednesday (Nov. 27).

Davey Mato Butorac, 35, is charged with one count of second-degree murder in the death of Redford, who was discovered

dead in Bertrand Creek on May 20, 2006, just blocks from where Butorac was living with his father.

It has been a long, painful journey for the Redford family, first with her case going cold for a few years and now with the accused’s trial being delayed and put over since 2011.

Jury selection for his trial had been planned for last February, but was post-

Butorac was serving a life sentence for killing two sex trade workers in the spring and summer of 2007.

case went cold.

It was after Butorac was arrested for the other two murders that he was first linked to Redford’s death.

In the meantime, Butorac has been granted new trials, after winning an appeal of his earlier convictions. He had been found guilty in 2010 of murdering Gwendolyn Lawton, 46, of Abbotsford in March Continued Page 5

Murdered man’s father guilty of uttering threats MICHAEL LECLAIR HAD THREATENED TO OBTAIN GUN AND AVENGE HIS SON’S MURDER BY TAKING HOSTAGES MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The father of a murdered gang associate was found guilty of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm on Wednesday.

Michael LeClair, 61, was in Abbotsford Provincial Court when a judge found him guilty in relation to threats he made about obtaining a gun and revenging his son’s murder by killing elementary school students.

His son Kevin LeClair, 26, was gunned down in a hail of bullets in broad daylight at the Thunderbird shopping centre parking lot in February, 2009.

In a one-day trial held last month, it was learned that Michael LeClair told a victims’ support group in 2012 that he had dreams of taking Abbotsford Kindergarten students hostage and killing them one by one if his demands weren’t met. One of those demands was arresting the men responsible for his son’s death and releasing the Bacon brothers from jail.

LeClair told the group that he had tried to obtain a rifle.

They called police after that.

After the judge’s decision, LeClair told media outside the courtroom that no one has ever been in danger from him.

He will be sentenced Feb. 7, 2014.

Kevin LeClair died in hospital two days after he was shot at close range while driving his pickup truck.

LeClair was chased into the busy Walnut Grove mall parking lot by two vehicles, one a

Warrant issued MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

Langley RCMP have an arrest warrant out for Paul Sebastion Lauzon.

The 27-year-old has resided in Langley and is currently wanted for two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and breach of probation.

The warrants issued relate to the events of April 20, 2011. Lauzon was arrested for an unrelated offence and when searched, police allege a large amount of what was believed to be cocaine, in both rock and powder form, was found in his pocket. Two cellphones were also seized, said poPAUL lice.

LAUZON Lauzon is 5’10” tall, 175 lbs. with blonde hair and blue eyes. He has a tattoo of a skull on his left upper arm, a red cross on his left forearm and “Lauzon” on his right forearm.

If you know of his whereabouts call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

An innocent bystander at the shopping centre the day of the LeClair shooting narrowly escaped injury by ducking down as bullets went flying through her vehicle.

One witness told The Times she watched from her apartment balcony as a dark grey pickup was sprayed with bullets from what appeared to be an automatic weapon, fired from another vehicle in

the parking lot of the Thunderbird Village shopping centre at 88 Avenue, east of 200 Street.

As many as 40 shots were heard.

The day before the shooting, LeClair was seen giving Jonathan Bacon, the oldest of the infamous Bacon brothers of Abbotsford who was since murdered outside a Kelowna hotel, a ride in his truck in Port Moody.

Charges of first-degree murder were laid against Vancouver resident Conor D’Monte, 33, described by Malo as the current leader of the UN gang and Cory “Franky” Vallee, 32, of no fixed address, said to be “affiliated” to the UN. Both men are still at large.

D’Monte and Vallee were also charged with conspiracy to murder the Bacons and their associates in the rival Red Scorpions gang.

A Langley driver who hadn’t scraped the ice off his car windows didn’t see that he had hit a woman walking through a crosswalk in Willoughby on Thursday morning.

Around 8:45 a.m. a.m., a 40-year-old Langley woman was crossing with a walk signal at the intersection of 201 Street and 72 Avenue when the vehicle hit her.

The driver, a 40-year-old Langley man, was travelling north on 201 Street when he turned west onto 72 Avenue, hitting what he thought was the median, said Langley RCMP. He quickly learned that he had hit a pedestrian.

Police noted that his windows hadn’t been scraped and his peripheral vision was impacted, not allowing him to see the woman.

He was given an $80 ticket for failing to yield to a pedestrian. Police say he was quite distraught. The woman has minor injuries.

Thursday morning saw temperatures dipping below -5 degrees.

“Drivers have a responsibility to make sure they have full visibility while driving. This situation could have been a lot worse,” said Cpl. Holly Marks. “Not taking that extra time to scrape the ice of all your windows can cost a life.”

Neighbours help with arrest Neighbours helping neighbours helped arrest a man who was seen breaking into a woman’s vacant house on her property on Friday morning.

Shortly after 11 a.m., police were dispatched to a residence in the 19600 block of 56 Avenue to investigate a break and enter in progress. The home owner said she had been alerted by a neighbour to someone breaking into a vacant house on her property.

When police arrived on scene, witnesses said they had seen the suspect pry the back window open and climb into the house.

Several neighbours went to the house and hollered for the intruder to come out of the house, which he did, said police.

The suspect remained with the neighbours until police arrived.

Thankfully, the suspect, who is known to police, was co-operative with the neighbours and

he was taken into custody.

A 44-year-old Langley man appeared in Surrey Provincial Court Monday to answer to a charge of break and enter stemming from the events of Nov. 22.

“This is an excellent example of how the community can help police identify those responsible for property crime. Langley RCMP is extremely grateful for the assistance of the individuals who assisted in this arrest,” said Cpl. Holly Marks.

More details on hit and run MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

Langley RCMP now believe the vehicle involved in the hit and run of an 11-year-old boy on Nov. 19 to be a 1990 to 1993 Honda Accord, either champagne or brown in colour.

Around 5:30 p.m., the boy was clipped by a vehicle that fled the scene in the 19500 block of 72 Avenue.

Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks said the boy suffered a mild concussion and cuts and bruises. He is fine now and was home from hospital the next day. However, when he was hit there was broken glass and car part fragments left behind at the scene. Police analyzed the glass and came up with the make and year of the vehicle involved, she said.

The area has seen an explosion of high density housing. In some areas there are no sidewalks or proper lighting. The road is a busy thoroughfare.

Marks said the boy was rollerblading with a friend. Neither were wearing helmets and it was dark. They did not cross the road at an intersection, although there are no crosswalks between 192 and 200 Streets.

Police trying to get a handle on distracted driving B REN D A AND E R SO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

It would appear that a lot of Langley drivers are regularly breaking the law without even realizing it.

By now, most people understand that it’s illegal to talk or text on a hand-held cellphone while operating a vehicle. What many don’t seem to understand is that the law — intended to discourage distracted driving — has everything to do with the location of the device and not what it’s being used for, explained Cpl. Patrick Davies of the Langley RCMP traffic unit. “The act of holding the device in your hand is the offense,� Davies explained.

Davies along with ICBC’s Leanne Cassap appeared before Langley City council on Nov. 18 to offer a road safety update, which included dispelling a few commonly held misconceptions about violations related to cellphone use.

Many drivers believe that if they’re stopped at a red light, it’s OK to use their cellphone.

That’s not the case, said Davies.

As long as the vehicle is on a ‘highway’ — which includes any publicly accessible road or parking lot — the law applies, he said.

If a driver pulls off a road, stops the vehicle and puts it into ‘park,’ it is then legal to hold and use a phone, Davies explained.

And it’s not OK to make quick ‘emergency’ calls or send texts home to tell the sitter you’re going to be late, he said. “No exceptions.�

It’s not just talking and texting that will get an offender $167 fine and three points on their licence.

It’s holding a phone to use any function the device performs — whether it’s playing music or getting directions from a GPS. Councillor Teri James told Davies that once she leaves Langley, she is pretty much dependent on her GPS and asked how she can legally use it.

Davies suggested something as simple as affixing the device to the vehicle’s dashboard with a piece of velcro, would put her within the letter of the law.

It’s a solution that should only be used for onetouch functions, such as using a GPS, he added.

During a two-day blitz last September, police handed out 158 tickets — more than half of those for distracted driving — over the course of four hours (two hours each day).

There’s a basic message that doesn’t seem to be getting through: “Driving is a complex task that requires your full attention,� said ICBC’s Leanne Cassap. “You’re driving a 4,000 pound bomb.�

If a driver finds their phone to be too great a temptation, they can always put it in the trunk, she suggested.

Alternatively, pull off the road, have a passenger answer a ringing phone or text, or simply let a call go to voicemail.

And it’s not only drivers who are being distracted by their smartphones. “I’ve seen people walk right into traffic without looking, they’re so transfixed by this thing in their hand,� said Davies.

Davies said police are fighting an uphill battle against the onslaught of advertising dedicated to

Lawton’s body was found along a rural mountain road in Abbotsford, while Koroll’s body was found in an industrial area of Langley City.

The convictions were set aside by the appeals court on the basis that the trial judge erred in accepting “the evidence of each murder as simi-

lar fact evidence with respect to the other.�

Butorac’s lawyer had argued before the initial trial that the two counts should be separated, but the judge disagreed.

Butorac could have applied for custodial release, said the Supreme Court.

According to the court registry, he has not made any applications to do so.

It’s unknown when his new trials will proceed.

increasingly complex cellphones.

But as functionality increases, so do fatalities.

In B.C., 94 deaths can be attributed to distracted driving each year, Davies told council. That includes drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists, he added.

According to stats provided during the presentation, people who text while driving are 23 times more likely to get in a crash, and drivers are four times more likely to have an accident while talking on the phone.

While drivers who hold a regular licence face a hefty fine and points, those with a graduated licence risk a three-month suspension if they are ticketed for a moving violation.

Eight months in jail for prolific offender MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

One of Langley’s prolific offenders has been sentenced to eight months in jail.

Colby Dean Romanchych, of Abbotsford, pleaded guilty to five of 15 charges and sentenced to jail time and a one year driving ban. He was already driving while prohibited before sentencing.

One of the crimes he was found guilty of occurred on July 23 when Romanchych, 34, shoplifted a water filter from Home Depot in Langley. As he was running from the store’s loss prevention officer (LPO), he turned and threw the water filter at him, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks.

An off-duty Ridge Meadows RCMP officer attempted to arrest Romanchych as he ran.

However, the officer had recently had surgery and his arm was hampered by a brace.

The officer and the LPO attempted to arrest Romanchych, who was now sitting in a vehicle. He began punching and pushing at the officer’s good arm. He managed to escape.

The second set of charges he was found guilty of relate to a series of thefts in September and additional time for driving while prohibited.

The thefts took place at the Otter Co-Op and several gas stations, where Romanchych would request several expensive scratch tickets, distract the employee and replace the new tickets with some used ones he brought with him.

He would then leave the store to get money from his vehicle, and not return.

Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch investigators provide assistance and evidence to support the theft charges.

Langley’s prolific offender enforcement team had planned to arrest him on Sept.

25, after a warrant for him was issued.

By a stroke of luck, Const. Suttie, one of the team members, happened to be in Pet Smart that day purchasing dog food for her police dog.

She observed Romanchych enter the store, and walked directly to him. She then arrested him for the theft charges she knew to be outstanding. He remained in custody until his sentencing.

In court on Nov. 12, Romanchych was sentenced to six months in jail for three of the thefts, eight months in jail for another theft, six months in jail for assaulting

a police officer, 21 days in jail and a oneyear driving prohibition for driving while prohibited. The sentences are to be served concurrently.

“The Langley RCMP prolific offender program continues to become more effective and is a key pillar of our overall crime reduction program,” said Langley RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Alex Bodden. He is pleased with the sentence, calling the jail time “significant.”

Romanchych has an extensive criminal history, which is concentrated from 2007 until the present.

In October, 2012, he was charged of possessing stolen credit cards and breaching previous conditional sentence orders. He also has been found with counterfeit money in Alberta.

Metro Vancouver directors will again urge the provincial government to continue the AirCare program, which is slated to be dismantled at the end of next year.

They voted at Metro’s environment and parks committee meeting to draw up a new staff report that may offer up fresh ammunition for preserving the tailpipe emission testing stations that force heavily polluting vehicles to get fixed.

“Whenever you go to a municipality or anyplace that doesn’t have AirCare you see vehicles with billowing smoke coming out, “ Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters said.

“You really see how protected we are in the Lower Mainland with AirCare.”

Metro voted three years ago to support extending AirCare until at least 2020, but that was rejected last year by the provincial government, which announced the program would be wound down at the end of 2014.

Vancouver Councillor Heather Deal, who chairs the committee, said she strongly supports maintaining AirCare because modern cars, despite much improved pollution controls, can still have emission failures.

As of 2010, the failure rate at AirCare was 22.3 per cent for pre-1995 vehicles and 7.4 per cent for 1995-2003 vehicles (newer models are exempt from testing.)

Owners of older vehicles must pay $46 every two years for testing but lower fees are expected in the final year of the program.

The provincial government says air pollution from cars has declined as technology improves and the mandatory tests no longer provide the benefit they once did.

Also campaigning to keep AirCare — and its 110 union jobs — are officials with the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union.

Union spokesperson Stephanie Smith predicts a rise in pollution if the program is scrapped.

“We know light vehicles are the largest contributor to smog-producing pollutants as well as ground-level ozone,” she said.

A BCGEU-led report warns there could be significant backsliding as old smoke-belching vehicles are put back on the road and motorists neglect their cars’ emission controls or even disable them to improve performance.

AirCare is run by TransLink but the $17.5-million annual cost of running testing centres is entirely borne by motorists through fees, so killing the program would not save TransLink or the government any money.

Metro is also continuing to push for an AirCare-like program to target heavy trucks.

Grewal plans to begin a membership drive once the new riding is formally created and a Conservative Party riding association in the riding is set up. He expects a vigorous race for the nomination. A nomination meeting will probably take place in early 2015, he expects, with the federal election scheduled for October, 2015.

He says his strengths as a candidate are his expertise in foreign affairs and his interest in keeping the regulatory burden on businesses and individuals manageable.

“The world is becoming more of a global village every day,” he says. “We need experienced people. Canada can play a significant role in the world.”

He has worked for multinational companies, been a university professor in Liberia, run a small business and been a consultant. He believes his wide-ranging experience, including his past parliamentary experience, gives him an advantage in the nomination race.

The new riding will include Langley City and a sliver of Langley Township west of 200 Street, from the City border north to Highway 1.

It also includes Cloverdale and Clayton in Surrey, and stretches as far west as 144 Street.

Opinion is shifting

we

Published Tuesday and Thursday at 20258 Fraser Highway, Langley, B.C., V3A 4E6 by Black Press Ltd. Sales agreement No. 3298280.

An opinion poll published last week reveals that public attitudes are shifting on the Northern Gateway pipeline project.

While the controversial oil pipeline does not have the support of a majority of British Columbians, support has climbed from 35 to 42 per cent.

Perhaps more importantly, those opposed are no longer a majority — they number 47 per cent of those polled, a drop of 14 per cent from a similar poll in February. The balance of people polled are undecided.

The sharp drop in opposition likely reflects the shift in opinion that took place in the midst of the provincial election, when NDP leader Adrian Dix changed course and came out against the Kinder Morgan pipeline twinning project, after months of saying he couldn’t take a position because an application hadn’t been filed.

At least one NDP MLA who lost his seat blamed that one move for the loss, and there is no doubt that many voters were much more wary of the NDP’s economic development plans after that remark was made.

The increase in support is also due to more intensive efforts by Enbridge to portray itself as listening to B.C. residents’ concerns.

Nonetheless, it will indeed be a challenge for the pipeline to be built, given that First Nations groups remain bitterly opposed and can hold the project up for years in court.

What seems far more likely, with this shift in public opinion, is that Kinder Morgan will be built, and will face significantly less opposition.

of the week

Will you be donating to a charity as part of your Christmas season activities?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Civic responsibility they

say

One thing that the circus at Toronto city hall has done is raise awareness about the role and importance of civic government — especially what happens when government doesn’t

function.

Most of the time, people couldn’t care less about who runs city hall unless their garbage pickup is late or mishandled. Voter turnout is typically abysmal — less than 25 per cent of eligible voters typically participate in the Tri-Cities in general elections, which sounds great compared to the recent Coquitlam byelection turnout of less than 10 per cent.

Half the time, people couldn’t tell you who a local councillor is and that’s a shame. By giving up their vote, the electorate hands over the job of electing people to special interest groups such as unions and developers, which disproportionately contribute to election campaigns and, thus, potentially hold more sway.

Could this situation be addressed? Possibly, if civic campaigns were more open, affordable and accessible. It could be argued that voters tune out from local elections because of the sheer size and complexity of the campaigns. They may feel a certain distance from the process, believing it’s best left to others with deeper knowledge — or pockets.

To make civic election campaigns more affordable, the provincial government is looking at implementing a cap on election expenses and is asking the public for input.

This is certainly one issue worth considering. Electioneering even in the Tri-Cities is getting increasingly expensive.

In the last Coquitlam general election for example, Mayor Richard Stewart spent about $66,000 while his unsuccessful challenger, Barrie Lynch, dropped about $82,000.

Currently, election expenses are posted online well after the election has taken place, but if people really want to know who is buying their candidate’s vote, they should be able to get that information as soon as the cheque is cashed. Unfortunately, this isn’t being considered, nor are caps on campaign contributions because the government says expense limits would be more effective than contribution limits in promoting participation in the election process.

There are other issues but it looks like they won’t be addressed until after the 2014 election.

Still, anything that can make civic elections fair, open and transparent will be a good thing. We shouldn’t need a drug-addled mayor and shoving matches in council chambers before people care.

The world changed forever Editor: On Friday night, Nov. 22, 1963, the world as most knew it to that point, changed forever. In an East Vancouver home at 916 Victoria Drive, an Italian immigrant family along with their relatives and friends gathered to celebrate a young boy’s second birthday. The Alpine telephone exchange’s party line had a continual busy signal, so more than the invited guests decided to just drop on by to visit.

Way before the two candles were ever lit on Mom’s homemade traditional three-layer, liquor-soaked cake, both men and women had tears running down their faces. Gathered around the Philco black and while TV set were some of the men, who were holding Black Label stubby beer bottles in one hand, and with the other were trying to receive a better reception by adjusting the rabbit ears, or trying to ground the roof top VHF antenna with alligator clips.

All previously scheduled programs, on both channels 2 and 8, had been pre-emptied to deliver the latest special news bulletin from earlier that day. While chauffeured in the SS100-X modified 1961 Lincoln convertible limousine, in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas, the 35th president of the United States of America, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, had been assassinated at the age of 46.

Many decades ago, I acquired an original Life magazine, dated Nov. 29, 1963, which was dedicated to John F.Kennedy.

It was also the first time Life ever changed the front page from red to black.

Right to this day, the same conspiracy theory still exists.

Many people wonder if Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Why and how was Jack Ruby also allowed to easily assassinate Oswald shortly thereafter? Were three or four shots fired, from one or multiple locations, and what about the mystery bullet?

What if Oswald missed? Would JFK have been re-elected or decided not to send young Americans to Vietnam to get killed? Would his brother Robert “Bobby” have been the next president? Would Martin Luther King have his dream come true? Would John Lennon have been able to give peace a chance? I seriously doubt they all would have been also assassinated, because there would not of been a prior precedent.

JFK reminds people of a simpler time. He tried to change

the world for the better, like the race to be the first to land on the moon. It is said that his ideas might not have passed if he was still alive, but because of his death, others followed through to make sure that they did pass. He gained trust from people of all races, colours and religions, by his charming demeanour and choice of words, such as the often repeated phrase during the inaugural speech, in his Bostonian voice: “Ask what not what your country can do for you . . . ask what you can do for your country.”

The latest world-changing event which comes anywhere close was Sept. 11, 2001, most commonly referred to as 9-11.

The twin towers in New York were attacked by terrorists with hijacked airplanes. Security immediately became a costly issue, changing the way we not only travel but conduct business. We are living our lives in constant fear of people and the unknown.

Neil Diamond admitted recently that, in 1969, after seeing an earlier photo of JFK’s daughter Caroline on her pony Macaroni, he was inspired to write the song “Sweet Caroline.”

That song has been a staple at Boston Red Sox games since the 1990s. It has been played at sporting events all over, to honour Boston after the most recent tragic terrorist ploy with the Boston Marathon bombing in April 2013.

Respect was also paid by the rival New York Yankees, and inspired the Red Sox towards their 2013 World Series championship.

I was too young to remember where I was when JFK was shot, and most of my relatives have passed away in the 50 years since. But I recall the stories recanted over the years from those who gathered that November Friday night in East Vancouver, to not only celebrate a young boy’s second birthday, but mourn the passing of the most respected and iconic political person in history, President JFK. This all happened at my birthday party.

I still always glance to my right driving down Victoria Drive, before turning left down Venables towards Downtown Vancouver, but what I remember and miss the most of that “Back in the Day” era is my Mom — and her homemade birthday cakes.

CATFISH POTESTA, LANGLEY

Words in letter raise suspicions Editor: Re: Letter “A platform for change,” from Clint Lee, president, Live Langley (The Times, Nov. 19).

Lee is starting a new political party for the Township called Live Langley Electorate Association, He attempts to differentiate a political ‘party’ from a political ‘slate,’ and states that a slate is a group who agree to vote together on issues, as opposed to a party who espouses a common ideology or vision.

In reality since both intentions are to dominate, there is little difference in their voting patterns.

He states ”We value and encourage independent thought and believe that disparate views and opinions are essential.”

This pretty much describes a council made up of independents, so why go to all the trouble of creating party politics — unless your motives go much deeper?

He states as a “progressive group” they are committed to “progressive values.” This

raises caution flags, as “progressivism” is code in today’s world, associated with the far left political spectrum of socialism leaning toward Marxism. It usually stands for more government control, more restrictive laws and tax-draining bureaucracy, which leads to more loss of property rights and freedoms.

There are “progressive talk” radio shows in neighbouring Washington state that bear this out.

A recent example of “progressivism” is the eccentric Vancouver council and Mayor Moonbeam, who just banned door knobs on private residential houses. They must now have lever handles.

Live Langley’s web site has all the familiar buzz phrases like “common ideology or vision, inclusive, transparent, sustainable, livable, prosperous, innovative, holistic, creative” etc., but their mixed messages have me confused and suspicious.

O ffic ial White Ho u s e pho to

President John F. Kennedy took office in January, 1961 and only served until his assassination on Nov. 22, 1963. The memory of that fateful day remains in many people’s memories.

‘Nobody rides for free’ on ferries Editor: For decades, BC Ferries has allowed people with their vehicles to ride on certain ferry routes for free. This has always been a poor decision on the corporation’s part. Any time a person walks on or drives on any ferry, that person should pay for that service.

When people move to Victoria or Nanaimo, they understand that it is their choice to move to these areas. With that comes the cognitive decision to pay for the use of a BC Ferry when travelling to the mainland.

If anyone should be able to say that this service is an extension of the highway, it should be those at the Horseshoe Bay terminal. That is where the Trans-Canada truly ends, hence an extension of the highway.

I choose to live in Langley. In 2013, the ministry of transportation started to toll the new Port Mann Bridge. For the last 33 years, I have been using the bridge without paying a toll.

So if the new Port Mann Bridge is an extension of the highway as the people living on the smaller islands have stated the ferry service is, I should not have to pay a bridge toll to cross to the north side of the river to get to Vancouver. When the Coquihalla Highway was a tolled highway, everyone knew it came with a price, and folks for the most part didn’t mind paying for the privilege of using it.

And that was an extension of the highway.

Like it or not, times change and not always for the better. For far too many years, the taxpayers of

British Columbia have been subsidizing the corporation for riders who use the service without paying. People who chose to purchase homes on these islands must understand that a taxpayer in Langley or a taxpayer anywhere in the province should not have to pay for the choices made by those living on islands which require a service that costs money to run.

In a few short years, we will have another bridge (replacement of the Deas tunnel) which will be tolled. In order for our province to be debt-free, everyone must know that services have to be paid for by people that use such services.

So to that I say “nobody rides for free.”

ROB GAW, LANGLEY

LNG plants are highly doubtful Editor: I must comment on all of the hype about the LNG plants to be built in B.C. with OPM (other people’s money). It’s not going to happen unless the B.C. government builds them.

Who in their right mind would invest billions for a plant, LNG ships and LNG infrastructure in

their own country, when oil is cheap and plentiful?

Rich Coleman is working hard at this sell, but will soon report that even if we gave the gas away for free, it is still not economically viable to build a plant, build ships, and then build the infrastructure and then convert appliances to

natural gas.

I hope that the B.C. government does not decide to build the plants with taxpayers money, as government cannot build anything that is supposed to make money. Sure the jobs would be great.

Immunization no longer a battleground I recently got my influenza shot, paid for out of pocket since I don’t qualify for any of the higher-risk groups provided with free immunization.

A reminder to take this simple health precaution came in October when a labour arbitrator ruled that it is a reasonable employment requirement for health care workers to either get the current immunization or mask up in patient care areas.

Quiet advocacy by Provincial Health Of-

ficer Dr. Perry Kendall has paid off. Staff, doctors, outside contractors and visitors will have to put patients first.

Health care unions pressed a grievance on behalf of members who insist they have a right to refuse immunization and increase exposure to patients.

They have apparently run up the white flag.

“We will be telling our members to comply with the new policy, or risk being fired,” said an overly dramatic Val Avery, president

of the Health Sciences Association.

HSA lawyers led the grievance, supported by the Hospital Employees’ Union and the B.C. Nurses’ Union.

Avery said the union will continue to urge its members to take advantage of onsite flu shot clinics. That’s right, like most provincial employees, they all get immunization that is not only free but administered at work.

Kendall an-

nounced the regulation last year, after finding that 40 per cent of employees in long-term care were not getting the current influenza vaccine, and the rate of immunization was declining.

Their objections

make no sense. Aside from the self-serving “rights” argument, they complain that the annual flu vaccine isn’t effective enough.

The formula is developed by international effort to track the dominant strains that emerge as winter rolls around the world. Kendall says a poor match results in about 40 per cent immunity, and a good match reaches 90 per cent. At the risk of stating the ob-

“I have concluded that there is a real and serious patient safety issue.”

Pioneers honoured at Douglas Day

La ng ley Tow nship p hoto

Pioneers Merrilyn and Vernon Morelli were among the hundreds in attendance at this year’s Douglas Day lunch, held last Tuesday.

For decades, they have lived in Langley, raised their families, and made their mark on this community.

Last Tuesday (Nov. 19), Langley pioneers were honoured for all they have done and continue to do.

The annual Douglas Day celebration was held at the Langley Events Centre by the Township of Langley and the City of Langley on Tuesday.

More than 210 pioneers — residents who are at least 70 years of age and have lived in Langley for more than 60 years — were joined by special guests as they were treated to lunch, musical entertainment by The Seabillys, and special presentations.

This year, the community’s early volunteer firefighters were in the spotlight, as tribute was paid to those pioneers who first banded together in the 1940s to collectively battle blazes and keep people and property safe.

Organized with help from a dedicated volunteer committee, Douglas Day recognizes Langley’s pioneering families and the hard work, values, and traditions that helped make Langley what it is today. The day is named in honour of Governor James Douglas, whose proclamation at the Big House in Fort Langley on Nov. 19, 1858 brought the crown colony of British Columbia into being.

Douglas Day has been recognized in the Township of Langley since the 1920s and the annual banquet has been held for more than 60 years. In 1946, the celebration of Douglas Day was established by municipal bylaw. While many municipalities in the Lower Mainland celebrated Douglas Day in the past, the two Langleys are the only ones that continue the tradition.

PE teacher wants to bring breadmakers to Africa THE SCOPE OF THE HUNGER IN DJIBA CAMARA’S HOME COUNTRY WAS DEVASTATING M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

HD Stafford Middle School PE teacher Djiba Camara has been back for one month from his long-awaited trip home to Guinea, Africa. But what he saw there has been “life changing� for the FIFA soccer coach, who plans another trip in the summer.

As he suspected, nothing was going to be simple to get the donated contents of his shipping container to those most in need.

After days of waiting and worrying, he was told he could unload it in the dark of night using flashlights,

with police officers standing guard. The officers were there as much for his protection as they were to prevent all the Langley donations from being looted.

Poverty and crime is extremely high in Guinea, one of the poorest countries in the world. It is so corrupt and dangerous that no NGO will go to Guinea.

After some eye-opening experiences over his two weeks there, Camara went to return home to Langley.

But the plane wasn’t there.

In fact, all planes to Guinea were cancelled because it was deemed too dangerous

to land.

An Al Qaeda shooting and attacks in neighbouring Mali had cancelled all flights in both countries. “I didn’t know when I was going home,� he said.

It would be a week later before the first plane would land in Guinea, but that didn’t guarantee him a seat.

Money did. And so he had to fork over new funds for a seat he had already paid for. “My school worried and didn’t know when I would be back.�

But while there he was able to distribute shoes, clothing, books, school supplies and

soccer balls to a few schools. “The students welcomed me with a soccer match,� said Camara. “They were jumping for joy when they saw what I had brought.�

He also managed to get eight soccer balls and jerseys to a school in Liberia as well.

But it was how hungry everyone was that broke his heart.

There were some days he didn’t eat because there was no food.

A glass of water costs 1,500 Francs. “What I saw in Africa changed me a lot,� said CaContinued Page 13

“I have to focus on the positive.”

He wants to go back in the summer. This time he wants to bring bread makers and dry soups. Although there is the challenge of electricity for the bread makers, there is generators that can be run when there is gas.

“There is rice but they want bread and there is no bread,” he said.

In a country predominantly Muslim, he was met with some resistance for his Christian faith. When they made soup at a church to distribute to people, he found Muslims lining up too, which was positive.

Transport minister opens door to bridge toll reform ‘ISSUE OF FAIRNESS’ IF PATTULLO, MASSEY BRIDGES ALSO TOLLED JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s

Transportation Minister Todd Stone is pledging to review B.C.’s provincial tolling policy that currently blocks tolls on existing roads and bridges, adding he’s concerned about the unfair proliferation of tolled cross-

ings of the Fraser River in Metro Vancouver.

Stone isn’t yet saying if he’s ready to support road pricing, which Metro mayors want to pursue to help fund TransLink, or perhaps small tolls on all the region’s bridges — an idea repeatedly voiced

by Surrey Mayor Di-

anne Watts.

But any tolling reform would first require the province to alter the policy, which allows tolls to be applied only to new infrastructure, and only when there’s a reasonable free alternative for motorists who don’t want to pay.

That proviso has drawn scorn from drivers in Surrey, who now pay to cross the Port Mann Bridge, in addition to the Golden Ears Bridge, and must divert to the aging Pattullo Bridge to avoid paying.

“Our tolling policy is over 10 years old,” Stone told Surrey Board of Trade members Thursday, and acknowledged that the

Offer ends December 31, 2013.

Pattullo Bridge and Massey Tunnel could both be replaced with toll bridges as well.

“You start looking at the crossings at that point that potentially could have tolls on and to me this then becomes an issue of fairness and equity for the hard-working people of South of the Fraser.”

He said the province would face “pretty big questions” about the validity of the policy if both the Pattullo and Massey crossings are also tolled, leaving the Alex Fraser as the only free crossing.

Stone also told the business audience he expects to officially open the full 40-kilometre $1.26-billion South Fraser Perimeter Road before Christmas.

Stone sidestepped questions on whether light rail or SkyTrain technology should be used to extend rapid transit in Surrey.

The minister had no answers on what the referendum question will be or when the vote will take place, except that he hopes to work all that out with the mayors “very soon.”

“All of us have an interest in making sure this transit referendum succeeds,” he told the business leaders, adding road congestion costs the region $1.5 billion a year.

He said he wants the costs of the referendum minimized, and noted the price tag changes depending on whether or not the plebiscite is conducted with the 2014 municipal elections and whether it’s a conventional vote or a mail-in ballot.

s u bmitte d pho to

Transportation Minister Todd Stone acknowledged that in addition to the existing two toll bridges crossing the Fraser River, new bridges replacing both the Pattullo Bridge and the Massey Tunnel could also be tolled. He promised a review of B.C.’s tolling policy.

Any new funding sources going to referendum must be affordable for voters, Stone added.

The key to success, he said, is a very clear compelling vision, a large coalition of supporters, a simple specific question and usually just one funding source.

NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena said the referendum strategy is wrong-headed and the government should instead give the mayors’ council the power and responsibility to raise the money TransLink needs.

“You don’t go to referendum for every question, you elect representatives to answer them,” Trevena said.

“To be turning around to the people every day and saying we’re going to have a referendum on this is American-style politics, it’s not our style of politics.”

All of us have an interest in making sure this transit referendum succeeds.

TODD STONE

Many mayors and other observers have said they fear voters will shoot down any higher taxes for TransLink, leaving the region mired in worsening gridlock.

But Stone countered that 60 other jurisdictions in North America have held transit improvement votes since 2012 and three quarters of them have approved higher taxes.

One year insufficient to evaluate business licence pilot program COUNCIL ASKED TO EXTEND PROJECT BY TWO YEARS AFTER CITY LOST $7,500 IN LICENCE FEES B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

It appears as though tradespeople and contractors doing business in — or out of — the City of Langley will have a couple more years to take advantage of a streamlined business licensing pilot program.

Council was asked by City staff on Nov. 18 to consider expanding the one-year inter-municipal business licence pilot program — due to expire on Dec. 31 — until the end of 2015.

Staff told council the extra time is needed to bring the program into a revenue neutral state.

Of the nine participating municipalities, three have lost money on the pilot program, including the City, which finds itself more than $7,500 in the hole after one year.

The City of Surrey and District of Hope have also seen a decline in revenue, according to the staff report.

From the outset of the program, the primary goal was for the City’s income from licence fees to remain revenue neutral, based on 2011 financial data submitted by the nine participating communities, said Ger-

ald Minchuk, director of economic development for the City of Langley.

“The circumstances between 2011 and 2013 have changed.

The objective was to be revenue neutral at this time. We’re currently $7,514 in the red,” he told council.

The inter-municipal, or mobile business licence, allows contractors and tradespeople to operate in any participating municipality with only one licence, rather than having to purchase one licence in the community where they are based and another in the community in which they are working.

Other communities taking part in the pilot program include the Township of Langley, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

Revenue has not been as balanced among the nine communities as expected.

But City staff believe it’s a discrepancy that can be addressed with some adjustments to the program formula.

“The one-year timeline for the current pilot project has not allowed sufficient time for the steering committee to give

consideration to key factors that are necessary to ensure the success of the program beyond a pilot stage,” reads the staff report.

“Therefore the recommendation is to continue with the existing program for an additional two years, making a few minor housekeeping changes to the bylaw to extend the dates of the pilot itself and to adjust the dates of the revenue disbursement.”

Those refinements will be made to the program’s formula in the New Year, said Minchuk.

“We will be happy to report when we have some of those refinements available,” he told council.

Council received the progress report and gave first, second and third reading to a two-year extension. It is expected to receive fourth and final reading on Dec. 2.

The other eight participating municipalities are also currently considering the extension, said Minchuk.

At its Nov. 18 meeting, Township of Langley Council also gave the extension first, second and third reading in a unanimous vote, with no discussion.

Pacific Baroque Orchestra at LCMS Dec. 8

Langley audiences are being offered a rare treat this holiday season as Vancouver’s Pacific Baroque Orchestra makes its way to the Valley to perform a program of Advent and Christmas pieces by Vivaldi, Handel and Lully, combined with traditional Acadian and Gregorian repertoire — bringing light during the darkest part of the year.

Es ist ein Ros entsprungen will be performed at the Rose Gellert Hall, at Langley Community Music School on Sunday, Dec. 8, beginning at 2:30 p.m.

This intimate Christmas celebration with renowned soprano

Suzie LeBlanc and Pacific Baroque Orchestra under the direction of Alexander Weimann, gives concert goers a unique chance to hear the holiday music of a bygone era, brought to life by some of the most talented and moving early music interpreters of this generation.

The Orchestra invites Langley, Valley and all area residents to join them for an afternoon of extraordinary music.

“PBO and Alex Weimann are thrilled to present our holiday concert in the beautiful Rose Gellert Hall at the Langley Community Music School,” said the orches-

tra’s general manager, Dave Carlin.

“It’s been many years since PBO performed in Langley, and we hope this concert with Suzie LeBlanc is the first of many more to come.”

Es ist ein Ros entsprungen or “A Spotless Rose” is the name of a well known traditional Christmas tune that has been sung since the 16th century, and made famous

by German composer, Michael Praetorius in the early years of the 17th century.

For December, they have invited LeBlanc to participate as their guest soloist.

The topic will be the eternal battle between light and darkness.

Apart from a couple of spectacular Vivaldi motets (one aria even made it onto the sound track of The Shining), they will perform the Christmas concertos by Corelli, and Handel, some Gregorian Chant, and Acadian folk songs.

“A warm and light mix for cold and dark days,” said Weimann.

Tickets are available at the door or online at www.pacificbaroque. com.

Admission: adult $35, senior $30, student (with valid ID) $10 and youth, 16 and under, free.

A scene from Tiffany Desrosiers’ video for her latest single, Fearless, finds the Langley artist in the sundappled woods of Stanley Park. The video can be viewed on Youtube and the song can be purchased from iTunes.

It’s all about living Fearlessly TIFFANY DESROSIERS’ LATEST MUSIC VIDEO IS A FANTASY COME TO LIFE B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

For a woman who has been relentlessly chasing her dream of becoming an internationally known singer-songwriter, it may just be the perfect metaphor.

Langley’s Tiffany Desrosiers’ latest single — Fearless — released last month with a professionally shot and edited music video, is all about pushing boundaries and facing down the fears that prevent people from reaching their full potential.

The music video takes audiences on a journey with three characters — Vikings — who are faced with the task of overcoming darkness in their world and conjuring light and beauty.

Shot over two days last summer in Stanley Park and at Squamish, the video opens on Desrosiers, in a long, flowing white gown, walking through a sun-dappled for-

est while, elsewhere, a trio of helmeted men, clothed in furs and with painted faces, paddle ashore and then set off running through the woods. However, the forest that the men inhabit is a dark and foreboding place — in stark contrast to Desrosier’s bright and welcoming surroundings.

As the Vikings light a fire against the darkness, the two scenes meld into one.

The song infuses modern pop, electronic dance music and dubstep production elements, with a classical flair and influence, and carries this unique fusion over into the music video.

Developing a concept for the video was a collaborative effort, said the artist over the phone during a break from her day job with the Surrey school district.

“I came up with a story with certain images that I wanted. I envisioned me arriving in a boat on the shore of some kind of

island, with elements of a love story, running through the forest.”

But the guys at Brass Tacks Films weren’t completely sold.

“They said, ‘love stories are so overdone,” said Desrosiers.

“I wanted an old-fashioned, 18th century flair. They were so into Game of Thrones and the whole fantasy genre.”

“They took my concept and made it a lot more interesting.

“Ideally, your hope is for the video to enhance the song and complement what the song means,” she said.

And she’s satisfied that this is the case with Fearless.

Of course, the whole point of releasing a single and going to all the effort and expense of making a video is to get the song played.

It is getting good traction on the radio in

the United States, said Desrosiers, noting the song has reached number 162 on the top 200 chart in the U.S. But with TV music channels being as much about reality programming now as they are about playing music videos, getting an independent video to air is challenging to say the least.

Luckily, the Internet has a global reach — as long as word about the video gets around.

Fearless, released last month on Youtube is the first single of a pop/dance trilogy with producer Troy Samson, which the artist describes as an uplifting, poppy infusion of Sia Furler and Celine Dion.

The second single is due to be released soon.

Desrosiers “Fearless” music video can be viewed on Youtube. The song is available for purchase on iTunes.

Last July there was electricity in the air at Trinity Western University.

To be more exact, the electricity was in the water of McMillan Lake. After two long all-nighters, we’d caught a total of 579 fish via electrofishing.

As expected, the vast majority of the fish were invasive and non-native. In fact, only 10 were native.

However, we were shocked back in 2008 when summer student Dustynn Diack netted large numbers of pumpkinseed sunfish and largemouth bass.

We hadn’t realized that aliens had taken over our lake.

Since then the B.C. Ministry of Environment has been advising us to try to remove this threat to native fish. A major concern is that during high water the lake overflows into the Salmon River, potentially exposing coho salmon juveniles and other native fish to marauding bass from McMillan Lake.

ter’s job to quickly scoop up stunned fish.

We began electrofishing when it got dark in order to be able to sneak up on the fish.

Each time a large tub aboard the boat was filled with fish, the electrofishers brought them to shore where a team of summer students and I were waiting.

Non-native fish were euthanized with an anesthetic.

All fish were weighed and measured, and the native fish were released.

Epic memories of the two nights of electrofishing include the camaraderie of the team, the thrill of close encounters with hundreds of fish of all shapes and sizes, late night coffee runs, trying to handle slippery fish at 4 a.m., and seeing the sun rise as we headed home after a long night.

My thesis student, Melissa Bargen, was thrilled with the catch of 579 fish. At 4:30 am after two all-nighters she tiredly told me something like: “I’m going to look back on this time with awe.”

Melissa’s thesis work is focused on assessing our potential to eliminate bass.

However, by far her favourite catch from the two nights was an enormous 20 pound carp — an awesome product of our efforts to seize the day … the night … the fish.

Carpe diem!

Susan Galick set to open a new door in Bedford Landing B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Langley painter Susan Galick will open her new Fort Langley live-work studio with an open house on Nov. 30.

Beginning at 4 p.m. the reception will be open to the public, who are invited to tour the entire space — upstairs and down — and enjoy wine, punch and appetizers.

The studio, located in Bedford Landing’s Flat Iron Building, is exactly what Galick has been waiting for since the riverside development was “just an empty chunk of land.”

“It’s been a dream of mine to have my own little retail and live-in space,” said Galick.

Instead of purchasing a studio, however, Galick moved into a condo with a view of the Fraser River. But the Flat Iron Building — home now to a number of artists’ studios — seemed to call to her.

When a unit became available, Galick thought it would be the perfect opportunity to have a look, realize it wasn’t everything she’d built it up to be in her mind, and be done with it.

“I thought, when I walk in that door I will finally get it out of my head,” said Galick.

“I fell in love with it five feet in the door.

“I looked at my realtor and said, ‘Uh, oh.’”

The building, filled with places for artists and retailers to live and work in one spot, “is such a wonderful concept,” said the artist.

“Bedford Landing is like a mini Granville Island, with its artistic atmosphere. It’s really busy.”

Galick plans to open her studio-gallery to the public three weeks of every month.

The fourth week, the artist

SUSAN GALICK

plans to spend at her Beach Box studio in Sooke, on Vancouver Island.

Although she has not yet set them, the Fort Langley gallery’s hours will be regular, Galick promised, noting how frustrating it can be for visitors to make

a trip out to the Valley, only to discover their destination is arbitrarily closed.

Working out of a small 200-square-foot space, Galick will sell her own, original artwork — colourful works, painted in a modern impressionist style — as well as six different types of soap from Fort Langley Soapworks.

A former soap maker herself, Galick is happy to let someone else take over, but she did paint the image of the Fort-to-Fort Trail which graces the bars’ labels, she said.

Susan Galick Fine Art Studio/ Gallery opening reception will take place on Saturday, Nov. 30, beginning at 4 p.m. at #7 - 23230 Billy Brown Rd. in Fort Langley.

It’s a family affair on stage at Bernie Legge Theatre LANGLEY ACTOR LINDSAY MCGAIRE UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING UNCLE ROSCOE It may be the season to be jolly, but things are going downhill fast for the Kendall family.

Father has been fired, and Christmas promises to be bleak, with a budget that’s stretched so tight there may not be any gifts this year.

On top of that, Uncle Roscoe is

due to arrive any day for a visit — and since none of the Kendalls have met him, it’s hardly the best time to welcome a new relative into the family.

Add some gossipy neighbours, a couple of con men, some lively youngsters, a plastic-perfect news-

woman and hilarious case of mistaken identity, and all the ingredients are in place for The Importance of Being Uncle Roscoe — a hilarious evening at the theatre.

Langley’s Lindsay McGaire plays Charlene Kendall, the teenage daughter of the family that is hurled into pre-Christmas chaos due to the new arrivals.

McGaire, a student at Walnut Grove Secondary school, has played at the Bernie Legge Theatre before, having been seen as the playful elf,

Balderdash, in Dear Santa.

The Importance of Being Uncle Roscoe runs Dec. 4 to 21, Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

The Bernie Legge Theatre is located in Queens Park, New Westminster.

Tickets are $15 adult, $13, seniors/ students.

There will be two-for-one previews on Dec. 4, 5 and 6.

Kodiaks return to top of the podium CREDO CHRISTIAN REBOUNDS FROM TOUGH LOSS IN 2012 TITLE GAME GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts

So close a year ago, the Credo Christian Kodiaks finished the job this time around.

At this time last year, the Kodiaks senior boys’ volleyball team was serving for championship point in the fifth and decisive set of the B.C. Single A provincial championships. But their opponent, the Kelowna Christian Knights staved off elimination and scored all of the remaining points to win 16-14 and capture the provincial title.

The victory denied Credo Christian a third straight provincial title.

“No one likes losing in the final, especially the way we did,” said Credo Christian’s Connor Pruim, a Grade 12 middle on the squad.

“This year, we didn’t want to get too excited before we won.”

But there would be no comeback this time around, as the Kodiaks won 3-0 over the Abbotsford Christian Knights in the gold medal game on Saturday night.

The championships were held on Vancouver Island at Duncan Christian School.

“It is nice to know that after last year’s loss, we were able to come back and win our senior year,” said David Noort, a Grade 12 right-side hitter on the team.

“It is great to get the job done,” Pruim added.

Both Noort and Pruim were named to the tournament’s all-star team.

Coach Stan de Haan said his players learned from last year’s heartbreak.

“That gave the guys the experience and IS LA ND S P ORT S pho to s the realization of how hard they had to work to get to that point again,” he said, Credo Christian Kodiaks’ James de Leeuw soars for the kill during his team’s match at the B.C.

Titans top Lightning to place third at B.C.’s From Page 24

In league play, it was the Lightning taking top spot but in the district championship game, the Titans prevailed in five sets.

The teams met again in the quarter-finals of the Fraser Valley championships, with the Lightning winning en route to a second-place finish. The Titans placed fifth and both moved on to provincials.

Both teams won their pools at provincials and then won their respective round of 16 and quarter-final games.

In the semifinals, Langley Fundamental lost to the eventual provincial champion MEI Eagles while Langley Christian lost to the Earl Marriott Mariners.

Johnson said his team delivered a strong all-around performance at provincials as they used their strengths — passing and a strong middle attack

— to their advantage.

“When we play to

our strengths, we are a tough team to beat.”

The Titans Zec Johnson and Phillip Stahl

were named first and second-team allstars, respectively, while the Lightning’s Brennan Gardner was a first team all-star as well.

Gardner and Linden Bontkes were also Fraser Valley first team all-stars the week before.

•••• The Langley Chris-

tian Lightning junior girls volleyball team placed ninth at the B.C. provincial championships held over the weekend at Surrey’s Seaquam Secondary and South Delta Secondary.

The team won both of their pool games but lost to Surrey Christian in the quarter-finals. The Light-

ning did rebound to win their final two games of the tournament.

It was the program’s first appearance at provincial championships in school history.

The Lightning had also placed sixth at the Fraser Valley championships the week before.

The Langley Christian Lightning are right where they want to be: in the mix at the B.C. provincial senior boys AA volleyball championships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal, at the start of the year, was to medal at provincials,â&#x20AC;? said Lightning coach Brynden MacTavish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then as the as the year has gone on, we have adjusted that goal to hopefully leaving provincials as retuning champions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a team, we decided that is what our end goal is.â&#x20AC;?

The Lightning do have their work cut out for themselves if they hope to once again hoist the championship trophy. The team finished third at the Fraser Valley championships, defeat-

ing Pacific Academy in straight sets.

The top two seeds at Fraser Valleys went to the Langley Fundamental Titans and the MEI Eagles.

The roster has a few more Grade 12 players than Grade 11 players, but the starting line-up is heavy with players with senior experience.

Leading the way are captains Brayden Heppell and Joel Hansen.

And it was those two players who really stepped up with the bronze medal on the line on Nov. 19 at the Langley Events Centre against Pacific Academy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have done a good job of leading us this year,â&#x20AC;? MacTavish said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(In the bronze medal game), they set the tone early for what

we had to do and the rest of the guys followed suit.â&#x20AC;?

Up next comes the provincial championships, which run Nov. 27 to Nov. 30 at the UBC-Okanagan campus in Kelowna.

MacTavish is banking on what his players learned last year on their way to winning the first AA provincial title in school history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowing what it takes, knowing that it is a four-day tournament and it is going to take more than just a game plan,â&#x20AC;? he explained.

He said last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad bonded very well over the tail end of the season and into the playoffs and the players were playing for one another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is something the Grade 12s are going to be able to take and the Grade 11s will be able to learn from,â&#x20AC;? MacTavish said.

Jesse Peters has been named the 2013 PWB B.C. senior baseball player of the year.

He also helped the Blaze to a silver medal at the senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian national championships.

Over the 2013 season,

Peters pitched in 17 games â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â including 13 starts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and went 10-3 with one save. He had nine complete games and struck out 102 batters in 91 innings.

Peters also played 28 games in the field, hitting .259 with two home runs, 14 RBIs and five stolen bases.

Titans ready to make amends

G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r ts

Matt Lewis did not like what he saw last year at the B.C. provincial championships and is convinced his players did not either.

“Last year, I would have to say that team was one of the most skilled teams I have coached, but they didn’t have that motivational drive,” said the Langley Fundamental Titans senior boys volleyball team.

“I think my whole team last year knew they were awesome or really good at volleyball, so I think a lot them expected that was going to get them far.”

The team wound up finishing seventh at the B.C. senior boys AA provincial championships.

“It was quite discouraging watching them play at provincials,” he said. “And I think at the end of it, and the beginning of this season, we realized just on individual skill or talent, we are not going to be making it that far, so we just had to buck up and play together.”

The Titans will get a chance to prove that, beginning Nov. 27 when the open play at the provincial tournament. It runs until Nov. 30 at the UBC-Okanagan campus in Kelowna.

And Langley Fundamental is riding high heading into the event after capturing the Fraser Valley banner for the first time in senior boys’ program history.

The Titans did so with a clinical

3-0 (25-20,25-20,25-10) victory over the top-seed MEI Eagles.

Lewis did caution that the final score could be a bit misleading as the Eagles had lost their best player with a dislocated ankle.

“I don’t think that was a true testament to how MEI plays, they are better than that,” he said.

“But would he have made that much of a difference? That one player is not getting 15 points by himself.”

This was the first time the Titans beat MEI in three tries this season.

And Lewis knows his team has the potential to medal at provincials.

The goal at the start of the year was to be playing in the gold medal match.

“I knew the calibre of team we had and how they did in juniors and how they did last year,” he explained.

The majority of the starters are in Grade 12 and two years, the nucleus of the current senior team won the junior provincial title.

At the Fraser Valleys, the Titans were led by MVP Carson Heppell while Steven Hsu and Denham O’Reilly both earned all-stars.

Lewis added that Michael Hsu and Tristan Loewen were also worthy of all-star consideration.

“Between them (Steven, Denham, Michael and Tristan), I would say all four of them are the same calibre players.”

Our True Miracle Story… y…

After two and a half years of trying to have a baby, finally I was pregnant. The best news of our lives. Everything was ths into going great. I was loving being pregnant. A few months the pregnancy my blood pressure started becoming high, d so they kept a close eye on it. Six months in, I started having chest pain and was taken to Abbotsford Hospital. They ran some tests, decided it was heartburn e and sent me home. The next day, the chest pain came back and lasted 14 hours. I went back to Abbotsford Hospital, this time the tests came back very different,, and our lives changed forever.

We were rushed to Royal Columbian Hospital by ur baby Ambulance and told that we would have to deliver our hut down and my if things didn’t improve. My organs were starting to shut i k body was starting to reject the baby. Both our lives were at risk.

I was 25 weeks pregnant and our son Jaxson was born 1 pound 4 ounces. They gave him a 30% chance of living. Five days after he was born, due to some IV complications he was transferred to Woman’s Hospital NICU in Vancouver. After 160 days in the Woman’s Hospital NICU, Jaxson had 9 blood transfusions, numerous x-rays and ultrasounds, countless iv’s, digestive problems, on ventilation for 2 ½ months, lung damage, pneumonia, and several infections as well as the doctor coming to us to inform us that we were in real trouble as Jaxson’s heart had moved to the other side of his chest due to his lung over expanding. On top of all of that as a result of the IV complications during the first few days after birth he lost his right hand.

Today Jaxson is 18 months old and is crawling all over the house. He is standing while holding onto things and we expect him to be taking his first steps shortly. He is saying a few words and likes to discuss things in his own language. Jaxson has a constant smile on his face and is progressing every day.

We know we have a long road ahead of us with our little man, but he is currently a part of the War Amps and he is being well followed by a very large support system looking after all his needs. He is our real life Miracle Baby.

Jaxon is a very special Miracle Baby whom we are so very privileged to work with. Jaxon and over 850 children in The Langley’s receive service from the Langley Child Development Centre. If you would like to help our kids, please give consideration to one of the following opportunities: • Attend the Lower Mainland Toy and Product Fair November 27th • Attend the Live Charity Auction November 28th • Make a donation on-line • Leave an enduring legacy through a donation to Langley Children’s Society Endowment Fund For more information, please contact Lynne Pearson, Executive Director lpearson@langleycdc.com
