Cloverdale murder suspect has long history in Langley MONIQUE TAMMING A Tim es Reporter

A man wanted in relation to a recent murder in Cloverdale has quite a past in Langley and was the cause of massive manhunt, including the shutdown of 200 Street, in 2005. At that time, he was suspected of shooting a 35-year-old Langley man.

RCMP released Barry McQuarrie’s picture to the media as well as a photo of the vehicle he was believed to be driving after the murder on Monday night (May 12). The vehicle was found on fire Tuesday night, just before midnight, near 192 Street and 28 Avenue.

But, McQuarrie has yet to be arrested.

Police are asking the public to be on the lookout for McQuarrie, who is currently wanted on a series of unrelated warrants.

He has not been charged in relation to the Cloverdale homicide.

Police now believe he may be driving a silver 2008 Toyota Highlander, B.C. licence plate 338 JNP. On Monday, just before midnight, RCMP responded to a report of a man being shot at a home near 176 Street and 57 Avenue.

Gregory Quenelle, 32, originally from Southern Ontario, was found injured in the townhome and was taken to hospital where he died from his injuries.

The investigation is in the early stages, but police say it was not a random act and has no connection with gang or organized crime activity.

Police B AR RY now believe M CQU AR R IE the shooting was the result of an ongoing domestic dispute.

The occupants of the home are known to police, but investigators are just now trying to determine if that is pertinent to their investigation.

On Thursday evening, Brookswood off-leash dog park was full of fourlegged friends and dozens of people.

They were there to support the owners of the six dogs who were mysteriously taken from the off-

leash park last Tuesday. The park is located at 206 Street and 44 Avenue.

As of Friday, there was no trace of the six larger dogs that were taken May 13 from the back of a dogwalker’s pickup truck, while it was parked at the popular park.

Renovated Willoughby community hall re-opens 4 950, 000 M OV E H A S H A L L R E A DY T O S E RVE C O MMU N ITY DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

L an gley Tim es file ph oto

Willoughby Hall is shown in March 2013, before it was moved sideways about 30 feet onto a new foundation.

The newly-renovated hall has its official opening on Saturday afternoon.

It cost about $950,000 to move the Willoughby Hall about 10 metres to the left and one metre up, close to double the original estimated $500,000 cost of preserving and upgrading the heritage hall at 208 Street and 83 Avenue.

Now, it’s ready to re-open.

Speaking for the community group that operates the hall, former Langley Township mayor Kurt Alberts told the Monday, May 12 meeting of council the higher cost was due to unexpected expenses that arose during the move and rebuild.

It required six hydraulic jacks to raise the building and slide it north to its new location on heavy-duty metal rails.

Then a new concrete foundation had to be built underneath the building while it rested on temporary wooden supports.

Once the concrete dried, the hall was lowered onto a new full basement with a nine-foot ceiling, raising the hall about three feet.

It was a near-perfect fit, no more than a quarter-inch off, Alberts said.

The project got an emphatic thumbs-up from council, with Mayor Jack Froese calling it “amazing”

and Councillor Charlie Fox saying “the outcome is certainly worth it.”

The top-to-bottom overhaul of the 1930s-era wood frame structure included all-new electrical wiring, plumbing, windows and doors.

The kitchen was an add-on to the original building. It had to be demolished and rebuilt.

The foundation turned out to be three cedar logs that were in remarkably good shape and have been preserved for some as-yet-determined purpose.

The cost of the move and some of the renovation work was paid for by the company building a nearby residential project, which needed to relocate the hall to make the best use of land in the area for the multi-family housing project.

Other funding was supplied by the Baker Memorial Fund in memory of Shirley and Roy Baker, and by the Township.

The hall, at 83 Avenue and 208 Street, will hold its official opening to the public on Saturday, May 24 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The hall is an official Langley Township heritage building and is one of a small number of buildings from that era in Willoughby to be preserved.

Tree-cutting hotline is now operating RESIDENTS CAN CALL 24/7 WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT TREE CUTTING DA N FERGU SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

A 24-hour tree cutting tip line is now in service for residents of the heavily-wooded Brookswood/Fernridge area of Langley Township.

Callers to 604-532-7520 will get a recorded message promising their complaint will be investigated.

“Hello, you have reached the tree protection hotline where you may report a tree-cutting incident in the Brookswood/Fernridge area,” the voice message says.

It asks callers to leave the address where the cutting is taking place with their name and phone number and time of the call.

“Your call will be assigned to an officer for investigation,” the message goes on to promise.

The all-hours phone line in the Township bylaw enforcement department was approved in response to a number of incidents of alleged clear-cutting in the days

following a council vote that set a limit of eight trees or 20 per cent per property, whichever is less.

The first two alleged violations of the new clear-cutting ban were reported in the area of 27 Avenue near 200 Street less than two days after the bylaw was passed by council.

The interim tree protection bylaw was approved by a narrow 5-4 vote in April in response to complaints that some property owners were tearing out trees because they thought the Township was getting ready to allow denser multi-family housing.

The proposed community plan overhaul that would have allowed the denser housing was ultimately rejected by council, but the cutting has continued, some residents say.

Township council has also adopted an enforcement policy that uses court orders to stop illicit tree

cutting and sets out a fine of up to $500 per tree to a maximum of $10,000 for violations of the interim tree-cutting bylaw.

At the same time, council voted to fund enforcement of the bylaw with money from the Township contingency fund.

Details of in-camera council votes are usually not made public, but it’s thought the enforcement policy passed by the same narrow margin that approved the bylaw in the first place.

The bylaw only covers the area of the Brookswood/Fernridge Community Plan and doesn’t have any power over protected farmland in the provincially-regulated Agricultural Land Reserve.

Trees may be removed without violating the bylaw if they are blocking road sight lines, or to dig a septic field or water well, or to make room for construction of a building if the builder has a proper

development permit, development variance permit or building permit issued by the Township.

The bylaw also allows trees to be come down if they are considered hazardous, as certified by an arborist, or in case of an emergency without an arborist so long as certification is provided within 30 days of the cutting.

The interim tree protection bylaw will remain in effect until a new official community plan has been prepared for Brookswood/ Fernridge or a permanent tree protection bylaw is passed.

While some residents of the area have supported a tree protection bylaw, saying the trees must be protected to preserve the unique character of the Brookswood/Fernridge area, others do not, complaining that the ban on clear-cutting violates private property rights and will set neighbour against neighbour.

Tax thief Langley RCMP are looking for an identity thief who bilked a Saskatchewan man out of his $1,500 tax return.

Po l i c e were called by a manager SUSPECT at a firm that assists with tax returns, about a man who had used another person’s identification to process a tax return.

Langley RCMP say he went to the tax business on Feb. 20 and produced a T4 slip and an Indian Status Card. He was able to provide the correct date of birth and SIN number as well.

‘A strange situation’ says animal shelter manager

604.533.1171

102B - 19475 Fraser Hwy., Langley

All of the dogs and the dogwalker are from the Tsawwassen/Ladner area.

Local celebrity Sarah Daniels, host of HGTV’s Urban Suburban, is offering $5,000 cash for tips leading to the safe return of six dogs stolen.

“I know that dogs and even cats are a part of our family.

Would you wanna help?” she writes on her Facebook page.

“Let’s get this done.”

It’s a highly unusual case, where there has been no trace of the dogs since they were suspected of being taken from the back of the dogwalker’s closed canopy.

“Some tips have come in and will be followed up on,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks on Thursday. “It is strange that such big dogs wouldn’t be noticed by now.”

How all the dogs were convinced to be removed from the back of the truck in such a short time frame, without being scared or even aggressive with strangers, is part of the puzzle in this case.

So far there haven’t been any witnesses to the crime, said police.

But someone knows something and the hope is they will do the right thing and call police and/or return the dogs, even to the local Patti Dale animal shelter.

Sadly, scammers are contacting the dog owners pretending to have the dogs and willing to return them for a fee.

The dog walker involved, Emma Paulsen, is also a victim

McQuarrie has a long and varied history with the court system, including charges of violent offences, drug possessions, theft and break and enter.

The court website shows he has eight known aliases, including Nicholas Randell McQuarrie, Richard Laary, Barry Bayer, Bad Ass Barry, and just Badass.

The latest homicide was Surrey’s third murder of the year, while two more deaths are still classified as suspicious and continue to be investigated.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has taken over the investigation into the Cloverdale homicide.

In July 2005, police tried to capture the man for more than two weeks, following a shooting in the 20200 block of 66 Avenue on June 18, 2005 that left a 35-year-old Langley man shot.

He recovered.

He was captured after two weeks, following a break and enter at a house, a short car chase and foot pursuit. Police dogs aided in his arrest.

McQuarrie, 24 at that time, was wanted as a person of interest. At the time, police warned

On June 23, 2005, police stopped traffic on 200 Street and locked down Nicomekl Elementary School after receiving a tip that McQuarrie was inside a nearby house. The tip turned out to be wrong. The operation involved dozen of undercover officers and emergency response teams.

Question langeytimes.com

Langley School District appears to be caught in the vise-like grip of reduced provincial spending on new schools.

It isn’t the first time. There were no new schools built in Langley’s fast-growing Willoughby neighbourhood for a decade, even though the province was doing well financially much of that time.

Only after enormous enrolment pressures and a push from local MLAs did the ministry of education finally release funds for the second school to be built in Willoughby, Lynn Fripps Elementary. It opened in September, 2012.

Since that first release of some capital funds for a new school, the province has provided money for two more new schools in the area — a middle school and another elementary school. All are badly-needed.

However, the school district’s latest list of capital funding requests has recently been turned down by the province. It is almost certain that this is due to a tightening of funds for capital projects across the province, and in all ministries. The Christy Clark government says it is balancing its budget, and the only way it can do so is to boost taxes (which it does largely through secondary agencies like BC Hydro, ICBC and the Medical Services Plan) and by cutting discretionary spending.

It’s an old political trick. Hit taxpayers with fees that aren’t called taxes, and follow the example of longtime premier W.A.C. Bennett. Revered today by people of all political stripes, he regularly turned off the spending tap to balance his budgets. School districts squawked, and in many of them, students went on shift because of a lack of classrooms, but the books were balanced.

While Willoughby parents aren’t happy that there are no funds available for another high school and additional elementary schools, they do have a few positives to consider. There are now four elementary schools in Willoughby, with a fifth one nearby. There will be a middle school in place in September, and it will ease some of the enrolment pressure at Mountain Secondary.

There is also much better liaison between Langley Township council and the Board of Education. This allows both bodies to better understand what is in the pipeline for development and population growth in the fastest-growing area of Langley, and one of the fastest-growing areas of the Lower Mainland.

The issue needs to remain top-of-mind.

Deepest sympathy they

Our deepest, most heartfelt condolences go out to the families and many friends of the four vibrant young people who went for a canoe trip Saturday, May 10 on Slocan Lake, not to return.

Words cannot accurately express the sympathy felt on behalf of those youngsters who had so many exciting and rewarding years ahead of them.

Most of us have someone in our lives who means the world to us. To consider the sudden loss of someone so dear and special is unthinkable.

For the young woman and three young men involved in the recent Slocan Lake tragedy it was a case of circumstances going awry, and a second chance not being available. For all of its beauty, nature, all too often, is unforgiving.

This is not a time to consider what may have been, or may not have been done in a certain way. This is simply an occasion for lovingly remembering and celebrating these precious lost loved ones and to start marking the painful passage of time on the way to whatever level of healing is attainable.

This is a major shock to the small and tight-knit Slocan Valley community, and feelings of overwhelming bewilderment will understandably be present among many.

But the unstoppable passage of time and the support and solidarity from the people in the local area and far beyond, will hopefully help to temper the terrible loss suffered due to the May 10 incident.

Once again, sincere sympathy in regard to this tragic incident is expressed from the Rossland News and Black Press.

Wall property decision wrong on three counts FARMLAND NEEDS TO BE PRESERVED Editor: On behalf of the Surrey/Langley/White Rock chapter of the Council of Canadians, I wish to express dismay over Langley Township council granting final approval of the Wall property development proposal.

We are dismayed for three main reasons: First, the Wall property is agricultural land, a resource in short supply in our region and in our province. Locally produced food produces less atmospheric carbon due to reduced transportation.

Second, this proposed 13.5 acre subdivision is a major violation of the Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy, previously agreed to by Township council. The growth strategy attempted to create firm urban boundaries,

limiting urban sprawl and reducing commuter-fed pollution and atmospheric carbon. The “firm” boundary in this case was at 216 Street, one mile to the west.

Third, the Agricultural Land Commission gave only conditional approval to this removal from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Downstream flood mitigation as a result of increased urban run-off has not yet been addressed.

We do, however, wish to commend the three councillors who voted against this wrong-headed development. Councillor David Davis, Councillor Kim Richter and Councillor Michelle Sparrow each deserve our thanks.

Coal dust problem has been ignored for many years Editor: Re: The letter (The Times, May 13) about a health assessment of coal train dust.

I am truly amazed this issue has not been front and centre. Considering that government won’t even allow dirt, gravel, asphalt or garbage to be transported without containing the load, coal dust is far more of a problem. It fostered “Black Lung” in the miners of yesteryear, remember?

Wayward coal dust has been a major problem since coal trains starting running.

They have been running through Langley since 1970.

The truth is government at all levels wants the problem to disappear, because they don’t know how to take on the rail companies. And so, to letter writer Steven Faraher-Amidon, the concern is noble, but action is required, as opposed to opining in a letter to the editor.

Why? Besides being unqualified and incompetent, governments have put themselves on a pedestal and no longer consider themselves servants to the public. By all accounts, they see themselves as untouchable and they know best.

They are, in fact, the highest-paid welfare recipients in the system and complicate issues which are not complicated,

breaking the bank along the way. We have already seen a made-in-government solution in the three rail overpasses under construction.

It will take me the same amount of time to access and egress any of these overpasses as it would to just sit and idle and wait for the train to pass, in order for me to get back to one of the two routes heading west or north.

We have three automobile overpasses going from nowhere and ending up nowhere. They were built at a cost of more than $40 million each. They could have built two overpasses, right at Highway 10 and on 200 Street, keeping traffic flowing at the same time.

I am befuddled as to who benefitted from the three projects. I know it isn’t the motorist and it certainly isn’t the taxpayer.

Maybe it’s the same group that gave us ice missiles on the Port Mann Bridge? Can you say road rage?

A better option is to rally the people who have the most to lose.

A number of years ago, I was personally instrumental in remedial action to contain coal dust on a rail route. The rail company had built a tunnel below Rogers Pass, some three miles inside the mountain and twice

as long. This was seen as a huge improvement over a former route.

The tunnel meant they didn’t have to contend with steep grades and so they could assign fewer locomotives to a train.

Fuel savings were substantial, and so were savings on brakes.

The trains included open coal cars, but there were also trains with brandnew automobiles on open flat decks. The complaints started rolling in. It seems that coal dust was amassing in the tunnel and was finding its way into heating and ventilation ducts of brand-new automobiles.

Imagine the look on the face of the happy new auto owner, when he turns his defroster on for the first time. The rail companies were given an ultimatum — solve the problem or route the trains back to the more expensive route.

On the letter writer’s suggestion to create a study for health impact, it has zero hope of achieving anything constructive.

It opens the door for another round of bureaucracy, ending with some sort of olive branch in 10 years time.

We don’t need nor can we afford another useless study. The problem is already acknowledged. Yes, our health is import-

ant, but a dog and pony show will prevail.

Maybe we will even get another three overpasses.

So who has the most to lose? The Mercedes Benz dealership is located right on Highway 10, next to the tracks. BMW is across the street, Porsche will also be there shortly, and Audi is half a block away.

The remedy? Think tarp/cover, or some sort of catalyst to make coal slurry. Rerouting the rail line merely shifts the problem.

As for Langley Township, shame on it for trying to distance itself from the overpass fiasco. The overpasses being built will be insufficient to handle traffic, and the Township has known that for some time.

The Times pointed this out more than two years ago. It was stated that rail traffic was expected to increase to 40 trains daily, and that some trains were expected to be two miles long.

I’m pretty sure the Township had that information years before the newspaper did.

These new overpasses are not even open, and they are already inadequate. Drum roll please. Heads roll, please.

Langley Farmers’ Market opening on Wednesday M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

ly market will celebrate its opening for the season with free cake at 4 p.m., live music, face painting and more on Wednesday.

More than 40 vendors have signed up this year, offering everything from fresh cut flowers, plants and local produce to organic local meat, chocolates, cheeses, breads, soups and salads.

“You truly can find everything you need at the market,” said Canale.

This year, the market is open later, until 6:30 p.m., to help encourage people coming from work.

It’s that time of year again, when the tastiest outdoor market in Langley opens for the season on Wednesday, May 21 from 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Kwantlen Polytechnic University courtyard.

Now into its sixth year, the Langley Community Farmers Market is growing in size and popularity.

“We have more farmers than ever before and plenty of new and exciting editions,” said Benedict Canale, market manager.

The family and pet-friend-

$50 million still unclaimed Two months after a winning $50 million lottery ticket was sold in Langley, no one has stepped forward to claim the prize.

Lottery players should be checking their pant pockets, desk drawers and kitchen countertops to see if they hold the $50 million winning ticket, according to B.C. Lottery Corporation. The prize ticket matched all seven numbers on the March 14 Lotto Max draw.

Lotto Max winners have one year from the draw date printed on the ticket to claim their prize. With each passing day the $50 million ticket holder has been losing potential interest.

“In the absence of anyone coming forward to claim the massive prize, we continue to hear some incredible theories and rumours about the winner from lottery players,” says Kevin Gass, vice-president of lottery gaming. “The truth is, until the winner comes for-

There is also three food trucks there including Langley’s Seasonal 56, Hotties Pasta Bar and new is Big Red Poutine.

When liquor rules change this summer, the market is looking into whether or not it can allow the sale of wine, with two local wineries already expressing interest.

The farmer’s market will be open rain or shine every Wednesday from 2-6:30 p.m. until Oct. 8. The market is still looking for musicians and volunteers. Go to langleycommunityfarmersmarket.com.

The winning ticket holder for the March 14 draw has not come to a BCLC office or validated the ticket at a lottery retailer.

“I would remind anyone who purchased tickets for the March 14 Lotto Max draw to check their tickets,” added Gass. “We estimate the winner would have accrued more than $150,000 in interest over the last two months had they already collected their prize.”

No top lottery prize won in B.C. has ever gone unclaimed.

The $50 million prize is just $4 million short of the largest lottery prize ever won in Canada — a $54 million Lotto 6/49 jackpot in Alberta in October, 2005.

Langley School District expects a balanced budget next year

One good turn deserves... a robbery?

CORRECTED REPORT, PLANNED MERGER AMONG SOLUTIONS MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

While a few dozen teachers in Coquitlam won’t be hired back because of budget woes in that city, Langley School District appears to be able to balance next year’s budget without any drastic measures.

A special board of education meeting was held Wednesday afternoon to receive a report on budget savings and some new, unexpected costs.

Originally, the district released its preliminary budget for 2014/15, with a $3.2 million deficit looming. “We have made some changes since then and there was an error in that initial report. Since then we have found some increased revenue sources,� said David

Green, district secretary-treasurer.

The deficit is now at $2.6 million, but with $114,000 in newfound savings. Most of the help from the amalgamation of James Anderson Learning Centre with Apex School.

The merger of the two programs which will be housed together at Apex will save the district $348,750 in administration and some support staff savings.

But students and parents of both programs have been promised that support staff are a priority and they won’t see cuts.

The district does have plans for James Anderson school but that won’t be revealed until September, said Green.

The district has indicated

A woman who tried to help out her fellow man ended up getting burned for her good deed, say police.

Last Tuesday, Langley RCMP received a report of a stolen wallet from a woman. She had just arrived home and was unpacking her groceries when a man pulled up in an older style black truck with canopy. He asked for directions then asked for some water to cool his truck down, said police.

The woman wanted to help the man out so she went into her home to get the water. When she returned, the man, the truck and her wallet were all gone, said police.

The suspect is described as being in his late 30s or early 40s with short, black hair, no facial hair, approximately 5’8� to 5’9�, with a slim build. “As much as we all want to help each other out and just be a ‘good neighbour’, please remember to protect yourself,� said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. “Don’t leave your valuables unguarded when strangers are nearby. Sad, isn’t it?�

You & The Law

PRESENTS What the new wills law means for you There have been some big changes in the law on Wills and estates in B.C. The Wills, Estate and Succession Act (WESA) came into effect on March 31, 2014.

WESA overhauls many of the rules about Wills and what happens with your estate – and some could affect you.

Let’s start with this one. Remember the 1981 film “Body Heat”, starring Kathleen Turner and William Hurt? The plot turned in part on old Wills rules. One old rule is that a Will is generally revoked (cancelled) if the person who made it later marries. Many people don’t know or overlooked this old rule in B.C. Under WESA, marriage no longer revokes a Will. So if you’ve made a Will and then married after March 31, 2014, the Will remains in effect.

You can also now make a Will at 16, instead of 19. Before, only a few “minors” could do that, such as a legally married minor or a sailor.

ily home (or treat it as part of his/her share of your estate). This choice is only open for 180 days after you die. Under the previous law, your spouse received a “life estate” in the home, meaning the right to live there till he/she dies.

WESA gives the courts powerful new tools to validate Wills that don’t follow all the technicalities, and also to treat other records or documents which aren’t ostensibly Wills as having the same effect. This is meant to help carry out the estate planning wishes of the document maker whenever his or her intent was clear. (It remains to be seen whether this will lead to more lawsuits over quasitestamentary documents.)

The existing right of a Will-maker’s spouse or children to challenge a Will because it doesn’t adequately look after them is the same as before.

Given the dramatic changes to the rules, it’s now more important than ever to see a lawyer to review, create or modify your WESA provides for equal division of jointly held property between the estates Will – yet almost half of B.C. adults don’t have a proper Will. A carefully drafted of any couple who die within five days Will is your best chance to ensure that of each other. (Under the old rule, the your assets are dealt with as you want, estate of the survivor received everything.) If you and your spouse have joint- without exposing your loved ones to costly court visits or bitter disagreements. ly owned property and your Wills aren’t the same, you should consider having This primer only touches on a few highyour Will reviewed by a lawyer. lights.

When the focus of including and welcoming people doesn‘t exist, then as Canadians we have to re-examine our values. Be proud of your cultural heritage, but don’t stop there.

This is one of the main reasons I started Cycling4Diversity Foundation. It was to capture this imagination and create a discussion around this important topic.

I am amazed how well the message has been received by all levels of governments, schools and businesses. I only intended to do the ride once back in 2011, but with encouragement, C4D continues to grow each year, attracting interest around the world.

Our team is looking forward to visiting Langley on Friday, May 23, and speaking with students at H.D. Stafford Middle School. A group of riders from Langley Secondary School, along with their teacher Gurp Mahil, and our very own Times editor Frank Bucholtz, will be riding with the C4D team on this day to show unity and support on this message of diversity.

Mahil said: “Students from LSS are looking forward to becoming positive role models for future LSS students. Our school is a very diverse one, with students from across the globe, who have multiple educational needs. This is our second year participating with Cycling4Diversity and we want to help spread this message to other schools in the district.�

Decor from the top down

Plain white isn’t your only option when it comes to decorating your ceiling

By Kerry Vital When renovating a home, it’s often the flooring that gets all the attention. However, the ceiling should be equally important. Boring white is not your only option!

“There are no hard rules in decorating,” says Bev Bell, creative director for the BeautiTone Paint and Home Products Division at Home Hardware.

“Take a cue from Michelangelo.

He saw ceilings as a canvas!”

Making life easier with home automation

Recycle Your Drywall Here!

With almost 4million tonnes recycled to wallboard manufacturers...

By Kerry Vital Imagine being able to turn on your lights before you get home, or checking on your home security system while on vacation.

Home automation not only makes everyday tasks easier, it can also make for a simpler life.

“It’s important to determine what you want, based on your end goal,” says Lee Rente, president of Encore Security and Automation.

“Do you want it to automate audio? Visual? A security system? Your lights? It’s possible to do all of those things and more.”

Control4 is one of the most popular home automation systems and is able to be installed in both existing and new construction homes.

“It’s a scalable system,” says Rente. “You can start small and expand as you go. Every piece you add can be utilized as you expand the system. Everything works as one to create a larger, stronger system.”

Light switches and dimmers are particularly popular items, and can make a big difference.

Rente notes that having the lights turn on when you enter your home at night is one of the most-requested options, and can be accomplished with any automated switch or dimmer.

“Any light switch can be swapped out for an automated one,” he says. “There are also a variety of wireless controls and sensors, so your home doesn’t have to be pre-wired.”

Having a good installer when dealing with putting home automation into a renovation project is paramount.

“Your system will be as good as your installer’s vision,” says Rente. “That vision is important because the installer needs to have the ability to see what the project can be when dealing with a retrofit.”

Because home automation can be controlled via wireless devices such as your iPad or smartphone, it is also important to have a

Home automation can be installed in both new homes and existing homes, and can be controlled via smartphone or a dedicated touchscreen.

good network.

“You will run into a lot more issues with a cheap entry-level router than if you have a quality router,” says Rente. “You really have to rely on the strength of your wireless network with home automation.”

The integral part of a home automation system is the home controller, which Rente calls “the brain.”

“It will tell everything else what to do, how to do it and when to do it,” he says.

“Everything else depends on it. You’ll also need an interface, whether it’s an app or a touchscreen.”

A remote control is also a handy addition, allowing you to use a single remote for all of your devices instead of having to keep track of multiple pieces.

Installing home automation into an existing home can be more work and will take longer than it would to install it during construction, but Rente says not to let that deter you.

“If you plan out the project and can use your existing wires and other technology, it doesn’t have to be hard,” he says.

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is celebrating spring and summer with a variety of events for Metro Vancouver residents.

The first will take place on May 24. The GVHBA’s annual Spring Home Renovation Show, in partnership with FortisBC, will be held at VanDusen Gardens this year.

“Here at the GVHBA, we know the importance of working with certified professionals,” says CEO Bob de Wit. “There are a lot of fly-by-night contractors who may appear to be offering a deal upfront, but working in a cash-only environment can leave homeowners exposed when things go wrong.

Working with RenoMark-certified renovators ensures your investment is protected.”

The Ask a Pro consultation is back at the event, and will offer homeowners the chance to sign up and meet with a RenoMark renovator to discuss their project. Visitors to the show can also take part in free 20-minute seminars that will take place throughout the day, including Kitchen Design Trends, Designing for Small Spaces, Heritage Renovations and many more.

“Advanced planning and working with experienced professionals will be your best protection,” says de Wit. “Considering you are renovating one of your greatest investments, your home, it makes sense to only work with the pros.”

Entry to the show is free, but preregistration at www.gvhba.org or via phone at 778-565-4288 is required. You’re also asked to bring a non-perishable item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society.

The GVHBA will hold its 21st annual Parade of Renovated Homes on June 8

between 10 a.m and 4 p.m. The public is invited to tour professionally renovated homes in Metro Vancouver, including whole-house transformations, interior upgrades and kitchen makeovers. The event is produced by the GVHBA Renovation Council and sponsored by FortisBC. “Professional RenoMark renovators, many of them award-winners, will be on-site to offer expert advice and discuss their craftsmanship,” says de Wit. “Project values range widely, offering homeowners an abundance of ideas they can incorporate into their own renovations.”

Project descriptions and before-and-after photos are available on the GVHBA website.

The projects are located all over the Lower Mainland.

Admission is by passport, which can be purchased at each home for $10 each, with children 17 and under admitted for free.

Purchasing a passport will give you access to all of the homes on the tour.

Part of the proceeds will help fund the purchases of tools, building materials and safety gear for a carpentry training program at Guildford Park and Frank Hurt secondary schools in Surrey.

The sky’s the limit when it comes to ceiling decor “ from page.15 white is a classic and still the most popular, adding a splash of colour to the ceiling might be just what your room needs. But how do you choose which colour?

“There are a couple of simple colour premises, that when followed, help to create a harmonious look in a room,” says Bell. “Cool and light colours recede, warm and darker colours advance.”

When used on a ceiling, a light colour will make the ceiling appear higher, while a dark colour will make it look lower. Another way to make a ceiling look higher or lower is to paint the ceiling colour about six inches down the wall.

Something else to keep in mind when choosing a colour for your ceiling is that the lighting will be very different. The same colour on a wall and a ceiling will look different as the walls are hit with more light.

“The trick to ending up with a ceiling colour true to what you want is to make sure to hold the colour sample over your head,” Bell says. “That way the light will hit it the same way it will once the colour is painted on the ceiling.”

Something that you should keep in mind however is that a ceiling is rarely perfect, and thus Bell recommends choosing a flat paint in order to hide some of the imperfections.

If you’re looking for something a bit different, try putting wallpaper on the ceiling.

“People are learning that wallpaper doesn’t have to be just for walls,” says Anita Modha, owner and CEO at ROLLOUT Custom

cially when it comes to the ceiling.

A very high ceiling would need to involve scaffolding, which is not something that most homeowners will want to deal with on their own.

Tin ceilings are another trend that is coming back. Originally popular in the Victorian era as an inexpensive alternative to plaster, peel-and-stick tin ceiling tiles are now available in a range of intricate designs that still mirror their humble origins.

Wood planks installed on the ceiling might seem like you’re turning the room upside-down, but they’re also great for adding texture to a space. Beadboard can give you a similar look.

“It takes just a few dollars to transform a room from lovely to ‘wow,’” Bell says. “Don’t overlook those ceilings because they really do add a lot to the whole look of your home.”

Wallpaper. “Part of the allure of putting wallpaper on the ceiling is the texture and design.”

Modha notes that bright and bold colours are the most popular for ceilings, but it depends on the room it’s being installed in.

For example, a living room might be a better place to do something bold and graphic, while a quieter pattern would be more suited to a bedroom.

“You want to make sure it’s something that you don’t mind looking at every morning,” says Modha. “You don’t want to be startled when you wake up!”

One advantage of putting wallpaper on a ceiling is that it’s not a permanent change.

“It can be a really great way to change a space quite quickly,” Modha says.

However, she also recommends making sure that the work is done by a professional installer, espe-

Pickleball will attract many to the Langley 2014 Seniors Games J i m Mc G re g o r

The Pickleball courts at Walnut Grove Community Centre will be a busy place during the Langley 2014 Senior Games to be held in Langley City and Township this fall from September 9-13.

“

In 2009 there were 42 players registered for the sport, in 2011 at Trail there were 76, last year in Kamloops there were 147 and this year we are anticipating there will be 200 registered for the Langley

Pickleball is a relatively new racquet sport which combines elements of badminton, tennis, table tennis, and ping-pong. The sport is played on a court with the same dimensions as a badminton court. The net is lower than most other racquet sports allowing for faster play. The game is played with a hard paddle and a wiffle ball, making the technique required for pickleball different than other racquet or net sports.

The story goes that the history of pickleball began with the familiar summer whine that often causes parents to take drastic measures. In the summer of 1965, the “I’m bored” mantra was chanted by the children of two families on Bainbridge Island in the Puget Sound area of Washington. Two desperate dads, Bill Bell and Joel Pritchard, who just happened to be a US Congressman invented a game.

The game started on an asphalt badminton court in Pritchard’s backyard. But, alas, no one could find the shuttlecock. The dads quickly improvised with a Wiffle-type ball.

The kids found it difficult to hit the 3-inch ball with the lightweight rackets. Once again, necessity was

In some Snowbird locations in the United States, Pickleball courts are very prevalent and people can play every day. “There is one spot that has 24 courts and there are always people waiting to play.” says Ross.

Pickleball attracts many former tennis or racquetball players who no longer have the stamina or mobility to play on the larger courts.

the mother of invention. The dads made wooden rackets that resembled ping-pong paddles. As the game evolved through the afternoon it was determined that players could hit the ball on the bounce as well as out of the air.

One afternoon of fun was had by all.

But what about tomorrow? Bell and Pritchard huddled to form a strategy to keep the kids interested in the game. They lowered the net from five feet (badminton height) to three feet (tennis height). Now, they just had to solve the dog problem. Their dog Pickles kept stealing the ball. From

there the sport has taken off to become one of the fastest growing racquet sports in North America.

Ross Priebe is the Sport Chair for Pickleball for the Langley 2014 Senior Games. “I have been attending the Senior Games with Pickleball since 2011,” Ross explains. “In 2009 there were 42 players registered for the sport, in 2011 at Trail there were 76, last year in Kamloops there were 147 and this year we are anticipating there will be 200 registered for the Langley Games.”

“In Pickleball the ball does not come to you as in tennis. You have to go to the ball and you can really work up a sweat during a game. It is great exercise but not all Pickleball players are former athletes and the sport is easily learned. We may have a few very competitive and aggressive players but for the most part, everyone displays positive sportsmanship.”

“Last year was the first year the Senior’s Games changed to categories based on skill levels rather than age.

There were some 70 and 80 year old players that were very good at the sport and dominated their age classes so a ranking system based on skill level was developed.”

The rankings go from a Beginner Skill Level of 2.0 which includes assessment of such observations as: continued on next page

When you’re on a fixed income it’s important to make every dollar count.

But when it comes to fashion and looking one’s best it’s tempting to ignore the budget and end up paying too much. You don’t have to pay through the nose to look great. Read on for some silver secrets for where to shop for fashions that won’t break the bank.

Downtown Langley has at least four places to buy clothing at discounted prices. In addition some stores offer deals especially for seniors. Fields, located in the Highland Village Mall is one of them.

The first Monday of each month, for people 55+ they offer 10% off their already low everyday prices.

There’s a fine selection of clothing and shoes in the store.

Located nearby is the V.V. Boutique, aka Value Village. You’ll find gently used items at prices that are already the best deal in

town and for people 60+, every Tuesday, they offer an additional 30% off every item in the store. At 58 it makes me want to go out and get a fake ID so I can take advantage of these super duper sales.

However, if gently used isn’t your style and you want to buy new, your shopping destination needs to be Auld Phillips.

This store has been a fixture on the one way section of Fraser Highway for years and has recently become a fashion clearance outlet. There are items from designers such as Tanjay® and Alia® for up to 25% off. For even bigger discounts, walk all the way to the back of the store. There you’ll find some deep, deep discounts on designer fashions and some items are up to 70% off. For years moms have been introducing their daughters to this silver secret.

Another spot that’s sometimes forgotten and often holds hidden treasure is the Salvation Ar-

my’s thrift stores. The large one located at 19868 Langley Bypass has lots of tenderly used items that are real bargains. Many items are in near new condition and the selection of accessories is second to none. As well visit the Salvation Army’s thrift store in Aldergrove. By shopping there you can do a good deed and pick up a bargain at the same time. All proceeds from this store go to The Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope.

To satisfy your inner fashionista, plan a visit to Langley Hospice’s Second Story Treasures. This is a boutique store with boutique fashions but without the boutique price tag! The prices are great and you can’t beat the customer service. The salespeople enjoy their jobs and they love to help you find just the right item for the right price. Visit them in Walnut Grove at 5-20349-88th Ave. The Changing Room located in downtown Langley is one of the best kept

silver secrets of all. Located on 56th Avenue and Salt Lane, every Tuesday is Senior’s day and the store offers a 10% discount on everything. This lovely boutique style consignment store offers new and consigned items in a wide range of styles and fashions. The store carries a full line of shoes, purses and accessories. Now open on Mondays from noon until 4.

Last but not least, this silver secret is the best one of all. The Langley Senior’s Resource Centre has a tuck shop! Open daily except Sundays from 10 until 2, there are new items arriving daily. One lucky shopper found an original Michele Nicole™ top for the crazy low price of $3.00!

Langley women always look fashionable and fabulous. But now the secrets out, you don’t have to spend a fortune to look like a million bucks.

Health Matters

We are slowly getting a better handle on fibromyalgia. The condition involves specific tender points and fatigue, insomnia, headaches, and abdominal pain. Making a clear diagnosis has traditionally been difficult and new guidelines were recently developed which are proving to be easier to use and more reliable. Better diagnosis leads to more effective treatment and improves quality of life.

Fibromyalgia appears to respond to exercise therapy – a Cochrane Collaboration review of all the literature points to both aerobic and resistance (strength) training as reducing the pain associated with fibromyalgia. Aerobic exercise was statistically better at reducing pain and both types of exercise were equivalent in reducing tenderness. While this lends credence to using these exercises as treatment, the researchers are next going to study other forms, such as aquatics.

Arthritis is also a condition that benefits from exercise. Regular exercise helps to maintain joint function and reduces stiffness, pain and fatigue. Look

for exercises that improve flexibility and range of motion, strength and balance.

Aerobic exercise improves the cardiovascular system and lung capacity, building BOB SANGHA endurance and overall health. Pharmacist, BSc Avoid activities which are jarring or high impact and be sure to rest if you are suffering from a flare-up.

Arthritis doesn’t have to put an end to your activities and interests. Stiffness increases with inactivity (that’s why you’re so stiff after a night’s sleep), so get up and move about regularly. Use parts of your body that are unaffected to help out wherever possible (such as using a shoulder to push open a door) and organize your environment to keep things accessible.

Using adaptive devices and gadgets can be very helpful too!

Our pharmacists can provide numerous tips and suggestions to help you cope with arthritis, fibromyalgia and many other conditions. Don’t be afraid to ask!

Colouring book FORT LANGLEY PAIR’S WORK SHORT-LISTED FOR NATION AL CHILDREN’S BOOK PRIZE BR EN D A AND E R SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

An artist and an author, both from Fort Langley, had a brush with Canada-wide acclaim this spring, when they found themselves on the short list for a national book award.

The Boy Who Paints, by author Jane Watt and painter Richard Cole was considered by some pretty uncompromising judges for the top prize in the Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children’s Book Award competition— a jury made up of a group of eightand nine-year-old readers.

Watt and Cole were nominated for the award — which offers a $6,000 prize — to recognize artistic excellence in writing and illustration in English-language Canadian children’s literature for their collaborative effort.

The imaginative hardcover volume was one of five books nominated — it went up against two entries from Ontario and two from Quebec. The winning book, which is selected by a jury of Ontario school children in Grades 3 and 4, is scheduled to be formally announced today (May 20).

Shortly before The Times went to press, however, Watt and Cole learned they had not been successful in winning the prize.

Their book tells — in words and pictures — the story of a boy who, upon deciding to become an artist, begins producing literal interpretations of the objects he sees around him — in short, houses.

He fills canvases with houses and more houses, painted in dull shades of brown and grey.

Quickly growing tired of the monotony,

the budding young artist comes to realize that there is, in fact, vibrant colour all around him — in everyday objects — which he can use to inspire his artwork.

Soon he is painting a bright yellow field inspired by, of all things, a garbage truck, a deep green forest called to mind by a recycling bin and a fiery red sky influenced by a stop sign.

In keeping with the boy’s artistic journey, Cole’s early images are painted in muted tones not often found in a children’s book, but quickly grow bolder as the young artist finds his inspiration.

Even more unusual, the main character is not painted in detail, but is instead depicted as a cut-out figure, made of paper trimmed from the pages of a dictionary.

The featureless face is quite deliberate, the author explains.

“We wanted the boy to be a kind of ‘every kid’ character, someone that readers could identify with, could see themselves as,” said Watt.

“He is made of dictionary pages that reflect his thinking and add a layer of vocabulary about art and art processes.”

The book is illustrated in a variety of media — watercolour illustrations with pen and ink, collage of art papers and cutouts.

“But the backbone of the book is Richard’s landscapes — which in real life are giant oil on canvas paintings,” Watts said.

Although scenery paintings have formed the bulk of Cole’s work in recent years, the opportunity to collaborate on a children’s book allowed the artist to revisit old styles and mediums.

“For the last decade, I have made my liv-

ing as a landscape painter, but I find myself returning to figurative work as well,” he said.

After entering the contest, the author and artist were informed that their work had been selected by a team of librarians and booksellers from across Canada, to be judged by the elementary school students.

“The jury is given the shortlist created by ‘professionals,’” Watt noted. “It makes complete sense that the final selection is done by potential readers. The (young) jury takes its job very seriously.”

Although The Boy Who Paints, marks the first time either Watt or Cole has worked on a book specifically geared toward a younger audience, the project was a natural fit.

“Richard’s oldest son and my youngest son are the same age and we began talking about our work outside the kindergarten classroom,” said Watts.

Originally the two had discussed collaborating on a coffee-table-style art book, focusing on Cole’s landscape images.

“But he revealed that what he’d always wanted to do was to write a kids’ book. We began meeting for an hour a week to write the story — and then we’d go away with homework to do for the next week.

Often, said Watt, writers submit work to publishing houses and the text is sent from there to an illustrator — the writer and illustrator never meet.

This, by contrast, was truly a team effort, she said. “We were fortunate to collaborate the whole way — and we were able to come up with something far beyond our individual abilities.

“We wanted the book to be a treat for kids and for parents, too.” said Watt.

“We wanted it to continue to reveal itself over time, with people seeing new things in it each time they read it. Having the confidence to try something new is the central message of the book, but we tried to get that across in many different ways — both in terms of the layered visual quality of the art and in terms of the text.

The story concludes with a brief lesson on primary and secondary colours.

“We wanted the book to be really useful to teachers — and it is. There are many extensions that can be made beyond its pages — into art and colour theory, into issues of identity and self esteem, into determination, and into writing instruction,” explained Watt.

The Boy Who Paints was published by Fenton Street Publishing House in Fort Langley. It can be purchased online at amazon.ca as well as at the Langley Chapters store and Wendel’s bookstore.

Meanwhile, authors are now being registered for the Fort Langley Festival of the Book to be held on July 1, 2014 at the Fort Langley Community Hall.

The free family event where, Watts and Cole will release their second book, The Girl Who Writes will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The pair’s second story “considers what it takes to be a writer, and tackles some of the same issues of determination and passion for the arts,” Watts said.

“We have workshopped it heavily with a panel of teachers so that it will be profoundly useful in the classroom in the same way as The Boy Who Paints.”

Wax, polish and pencils ‘ENCAUSTIC’ EXHIBIT TO OPEN AT PENCIL STUDIO “Waxed and Polished” an exhibit including ‘all things encaustic,’ opens at the Pencil Studio in Fort Langley on Saturday, May 24.

The exhibit of work by Abbotsford artist Kathleen Menges will include both painting and sculpture.

“My style is from representational paintings to abstract and abstract expressionism,” said Menges.

“I am inspired by colour, line, and texture. The process is intuitive, and gestural.

“There is a part of me that likes to express myself in different forms, so I am happy to add some sculptures to this exhibition.”

Encaustics, is one of the oldest painting mediums in the world, Menges explained. In the process, beeswax is heated and pigments are added.

Resin is then added to bind and to give shine and durability to the paint.

Encaustic mean ‘to burn.’ In a painting, each layer of colour is burned in and fused to the layer below it. Some paintings are comprised of more than 20 layers.

Because molten coloured beeswax is translucent, the artist is able to reveal what lies underneath, deep within the painting.

“The high shine and the translucent quality of encaustics is what attracted me to it in the first place,” said Menges.

“So the name Waxed and Polished suits me to a tee.”

Menges exhibit will be on display at the Pencil

Historic win for Redhawks rugby GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

GARY AHUJA L an gley Tim es

D.W. Poppy Redhawks’ Janice Hua made a try-saving tackle on Walnut Grove Gators’ Yana Kim during senior girls rugby at Poppy Secondary last week (May 13). The Gators won 28-10 to capture the Langley Shield as the top senior girls team in the district. Walnut Grove also moves on to the provincial rugby championships this week (May 22-24) in Port Alberni while the season is over for the Redhawks. See story on Walnut Grove at www.langleytimes.com.

Gators lead medal charge It was another strong showing for local high school athletes at the Fraser Valley track and field championships held over three days last week (May 12, 13 and 15) at Coquitlam’s Town Centre.

And leading the way were the Walnut Grove Gators, who won a combined 26 medals (six gold, nine silver and 11 bronze).

Altogether, Langley schools won 50 medals — 21 gold, 19 silver and 10 bronze.

Medal winners: Betty Gilbert: two gold medals Jonathan Rees (Grade 8 boys) won a pair of gold medals in 800m and 1500m.

Brookswood: two gold, four silver medals Louise Forsyth (junior girls) won gold in long jump and silver in discus and triple jump.

Jaclyn Pauley (junior girls) won gold in javelin and silver in shot put.

Kayla Weltzin (Grade 8 girls) won a pair of silvers in the 1500m and 3000m.

Credo Christian: two gold, one silver and two bronze medals Reuben Silma (Grade 8 boys) won silver in 100m hurdles.

Ryan Togeretz (Grade 8 boys) won gold in 100m hurdles and bronze in long jump.

Zachary Vanderploeg (senior boys) won bronze in 400m hurdles.

The Credo Christian relay team of Damon Flokstra, Matt Mass, Reuben Sikma and Ryan Togeretz won gold in Grade 8 boys 4x100 relay.

D.W. Poppy: one gold, two silver and one bronze medal Ethan Foster (Grade 8 boys) silver in long jump, bronze in high jump.

Ben Marshall (senior boys) gold in 110m hurdles and silver in 400m hurdles.

For the first time in school history, the D.W. Poppy Redhawks are the Fraser Valley champions.

The senior boys rugby team accomplished the feat with a hardfought 8-5 victory over Chilliwack’s G.W. Graham Grizzlies in the senior boys AA final March 14 at Abbotsford’s Exhibition Park.

The last time Poppy made the Fraser Valley final was in 1992 when they lost to Aldergrove. The team rebounded that year to capture the provincial banner.

“We are proud to have our name on the Fraser Valley trophy,” said Redhawks captain Gino Paolella, a Grade 12 player on the team.

“It gives us all something to show for all of our hard work and dedication over the last four years.”

“This is big boost of confidence for the boys,” said Mike Munsie, who coaches the team with Kyle Barry.

“And it means hopefully a top five seeding in the rankings (at provincials).”

Entering the game, the Grizzlies were ranked fifth among AA schools while Poppy was seventh.

During the regular season, Graham finished first in league play at 6-0 while the Redhawks were second at 4-2. That included a 24-14 loss to the Grizzlies.

“The difference was we made a couple of positional moves, moving Harry Senkler to flyhalf, a more natural ball distributor, and Gino Paolella to outside centre to allow him to tuck the ball and run,” Barry said. “(And) we made four very valuable substitutions whose fresh legs had a big second half impact on the game.”

Barry also credited the sunny and dry weather as well as his team’s ability to shutdown the opposition’s flyhalf and inside centre, who

both had big games in the previous matchup.

The only points in the first half of the Fraser Valley final came off the boot of Poppy fullback Sam Sinclair, whose penalty kick went off the left post and in.

The Redhawks controlled play to start the second half but the Grizzlies capitalized on a turnover to score a try to pull ahead 5-3.

It remained that way until about 10 minutes remained when after some great runs by Rob Goodey, Matt Theodore scored the winning points on a try.

The Grizzlies pushed for the equalizer, but massive runs by Nick Vandergoes, Brodie Muench and Paolella closed out the game.

“The key to the game was to play a tight defensive game,” Paolella said.

“We knew we could play and take advantage of our offensive play when we got the ball out to the backs.

“We knew if we executed the fundamentals of the game, we would come out with a banner.”

“Also it was key to have a strong bench so we could roll players in at the half. They are our impact subs — they really do make a large impact when they come on,” he added.

“The fact that we won (the Valley title) has given us more confidence, but I think all the guys already had the confidence we needed for provincials before that first kick of the Fraser Valley final,” said Paolella.

“We take pride in ourselves on how well we can work together and if we can keep this going well, I believe we can do well in the provincials.”

••• The opening round of the provincial tournament begins on May 24 at an undisclosed location.

Rounds two, three and four of the championships will be held at Rotary Stadium and Exhibition Park in Abbotsford on May 28, 29 and 31.

Stafford Skyhawks’ True Ba Moo slips a tackle of an Earl Marriott Mariners player during his team’s 57-0 win in the Grade 8 boys tier 1 Fraser Valley quarter-final game last week (May 13) at H.D. Stafford Middle School. The Skyhawks also beat the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers 39-15 in the semifinals on May 15 to earn a spot in the Fraser Valley tier 1 championship final tomorrow (Wednesday) against the Fraser Falcons at Abbotsford’s Yale Secondary.

D.W. Poppy Redhawks’ Jenna Dionisio (middle) tries to elude Credo Christian Kodiaks Emily Vandergugten during the Grade 8-9 girls’ Fraser Valley quarter-finals last week (May 15) at D.W. Poppy Secondary.

The win advances Credo Christian to the semifinals, which will be played today (May 20) against top-ranked Sullivan Heights.

The Bandits had gone 3-1 in the round robin portion of the tournament to finish first in their pool, including an 8-6 win over Gibsons.

Langley’s other games were a 15-11 win over the Fleetwood Fury, a 16-7 win over the Nanaimo Breakers and a 5-4 loss to Ridge Meadows.

The Bandits then beat the Breakers 11-6 in the semifinals.

Henderson finalist for coach of the year Langley Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson was a finalist for the Canadian Junior Hockey League coach of the year award.

The national winner of the award was Spruce Grove Saints’ Jason McKee of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

The winner was announced on May 14.
