José Figueroa granted a new hearing M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

A Federal Court judge has granted a new judicial review in José Figueroa’s bid to stay in Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.

On Thursday, Judge Richard Mosley wrote that the decision by an Immigration case worker to deport the Langley father

of three was “not reasonable in the sense required by the jurisprudence, ie. that the decision is intelligible, transparent and justified.”

“This is great news,” said Figueroa. “This is the best scenario. We are getting closer, but we have to keep on going and encourage people to write to the ministers to make the decision as fast as possible.”

Since being ordered deported to his native El Salvador, Figueroa has been forced to claim sanctuary inside his church in Walnut Grove.

He has lived there for the past eight months.

In that time, Canadian Border Service Agency officers check on him nearly every day to make sure he hasn’t stepped

outside the church, Figueroa said. The CBSA continues these efforts, even after Figueroa was granted temporary relief by the courts on his deportation order, while his applications go through the courts.

In Mosley’s decision he writes, “the humanitarian and compassionate grounds are exceptionally strong in this case.”

“As evidenced by the support that the applicant and his family have received from the community.”

Figueroa has lived in Canada with his wife for 16 years.

All three of their children were born at Langley Memorial Hospital.

Their oldest, José Ivan, has autism but is doing well with strong support from his father and his support team.

Mosley said the Immigration case manager failed to look at Figueroa’s family situation realistically.

“The Delegate (who declared his deportation) found that this relationship (with his son Ivan) could be maintained long distance by way of Skype, suggesting that the separation would have no detrimental effect on José Ivan’s development,” wrote Mosley.

“That is contrary to the evidence of a school resource teacher. . . the Delegate makes no reference to the evidence that stability is important in the development of an autistic child.

“Her conclusion that the applicant’s wife will be able to remain in Canada and care for the children ignores the difficulties she will encounter as a single parent trying to both provide and care for them.

Mosley notes that none of the immigration officers who considered his case over the years found that Figueroa was a risk to Canada’s security.

He also notes that the case manager “unreasonably referred to the FMLN as a terrorist organization.”

He also points out that the FMLN

Night of drink, shooting at birds turns violent MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

DAN FER GUSON L an gley Tim es

Langley’s José Figueroa is shown inside Walnut Grove Lutheran church, where he has lived for the past eight months while awaiting a decision about whether he will be permitted to stay in Canada. Earlier this month, a hearing to have Canada formally acknowledge that the FMLN is not a terrorist organization, was postponed. has not been proscribed as a ‘terrorist entity’ on the list maintained by the Government of Canada.

While everyone appears to agree the FMLN is not a terrorist organization, nor is it considered a threat to Canadian security, Figueroa has applied to the courts to make that position official.

That court case was supposed to go ahead last week but was delayed.

In that case, Figueroa is asking for an official document that says the FMLN, (the current democratically elected government of El Salvador) does not appear on any Canadian list of terrorist groups.

No new court date has been set.

A 40-year-old Langley man was arrested following a police standoff Tuesday, after a night of drinking and shooting pigeons turned violent for his son and wife.

Police were called just prior to 8 p.m. by a relative, who told police a 12-year-old boy and his mom had been assaulted at a rural home in the 21900 block of 64 Avenue.

The initial investigation suggests three adult family members had been home consuming alcohol and shooting pigeons with a pellet gun, said Cpl. Holly Marks.

It’s alleged the 40-year-old suspect and his 12-year-old son wandered away on the rural property and the young boy was shot in the hip with a pellet gun, said Marks. The boy had the pellet removed later that evening.

The boy’s mother became upset and confronted her husband, who then assaulted her, said police.

The suspect left the pellet gun behind and walked back into his home.

The remainder of his family left the property and called police.

But Langley RCMP were told there may be other firearms in the house. Out of an abundance of caution, several neighbouring homes were evacuated and the Emergency Response Team was called out to deal with the man.

The ERT negotiator established a rapport with the man and the suspect exited without incident around 10 p.m.

Langley’s Investigational Support Team has assumed conduct of the investigation and will attempt to determine the circumstances surrounding the discharge of the firearm, said Marks.

Langley RCMP Client Support and Victim Services will be following up with family members to ensure they receive any and all necessary support/referrals.

The suspect remained in custody overnight.

The details have been provided to Crown Counsel who will determine the appropriate charges.

CUPE support staff working at the Langley School Board office have been forced to cross the picket line to pay their bills, including mortgages.

Teachers have been picketing the Langley school board office daily in July, and it has at least one CUPE staff member asking why they would put fellow union members in financial hardship when school isn’t even in session.

There are approximately 30 CUPE support staff who hold year-round positions at the school board office, as well as the senior management staff.

The Langley Teachers Association and the executive of the Langley CUPE unions have urged support staff to honour the picket line.

“Why expect us to give up two months’ wages during the summer when no teachers are working?” said Sharon Welsh, supervisor of office services at the board office.

“I for one cannot afford to lose any more money. I have a mortgage to pay. Many of my colleagues have young families to support.

“I will be doing something I’ve never done during the 25 years I have worked for the school district — I will be crossing the line,” Welsh wrote in a letter.

Welsh has already crossed the line, as have many of her colleagues.

“We have a lot of hardship the pickyoung guys with eting is causing babies at home in CUPE union memthe IT department bers. as well as single “It is never our inpeople who had to tent to hurt them ficross the line to pay nancially,” she said. the bills,” she said.

Dragon boaters honoured for rescue on Bedford Channel LANGLEY TEAM RECEIVES RED CROSS AWARD D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

Members of the Abreast with FORTitude Dragon boat team of Langley received a Red Cross First Aid and Water Safety Rescuer Award Friday (July 11) for saving a drowning man in April.

The rowers, all breast cancer survivors, were practicing on Bedford Channel when a man who was rowing in another boat fell in.

He could not swim.

The team paddled at race pace, pulled up alongside the man, tossed him a personal flotation device, and guided him to shore where paramedics were waiting “I am very proud of my teammates and that is why I nominated them for this award, said team member Cindy Reimer.

“We stayed calm and did not panic, we listened to our coach and steersperson and did our best to get to the man as quickly as we could to help him.”

JEFF NAGEL Black Press

A seven-month review of Fraser Health has resulted in a new strategy that focuses on cutting unnecessary use of hospital emergency rooms in favour of improved primary and community care.

Health Minister Terry Lake said July 9 that too many patients in the region aren’t getting the appropriate type of care and are suffering worse outcomes, compared to other peer hospitals in Canada.

“When you provide that care in the community, you take the pressure off the acute care setting,” Lake said.

“That helps look after your budget problem as well.”

Average lengths of hospital stays are longer in Fraser, Lake said, increasing risks of picking up infections in hospital or problems like bed sores.

The concept is far from new.

Fraser Health has been trying for years to clear its congested ERs with a shift to preventative or home health care.

Although Lake did not criticize past efforts, he said the time was right for a strategic “data-driven” re-examination of the issues for the region,

Health Matters

Community Health Workers (CHWs – also known as health care assistants) can play a very important role in helping patients transition from the hospital setting back to their homes. Many studies have shown this time to be critical in terms of risk of relapse or inadherence to recommended therapy but now a study in Philadelphia has demonstrated that trained CHWs can significantly improve the bridging – ultimately with savings to the health care system.

The role of the pharmacist has been expanding in recent years – and, with the increased pressures on the resources of the health care system, it couldn’t come at a better time. No longer the “count, pour, lick, stick” model of the past, the pharmacist now plays an active role in primary care, assisting in the assessment of conditions, direct care – even prescribing. And, at a time when medications are the mainstay of most therapy, pharmacists are an essential resource.

Yikes! UK Researchers have found that 25 per cent of patients being treated for high blood pressure are either not taking their medications or not taking them as prescribed.

Not surprisingly, these same patients were found to have

604 328 3221 or 604 530 7885

the most uncontrolled blood pressure, placing them at risk of heart damage/attack, stroke, aneurysm, kidney disease, blindness… even dementia. It’s not called the silent killer for BOB SANGHA nothing! Talk to your physician Pharmacist, BSc & pharmacist about getting control!

A Canadian study has found that up to one-third of initial prescriptions are not filled. This was associated with several factors: cost of the medication, recent hospitalization and multiple concurrent conditions (confusion?). Given that medication treatment is the most common therapy in managing many chronic conditions and, often, the most economical treatment, it behoves the health care system to address this issue.

Good health often requires the participation of many different health care providers – and sometimes it is this very factor that can lead to confusion and sub-optimal therapy. You can always talk to our pharmacists for advice in navigating this complex system.

Fraser Health region per capita funding much lower than most From Page 6

“We’ve got two large hospitals we’re going to rebuild — St. Paul’s and Royal Columbian,” Lake said. “It’s imperative the two health authorities work together to ensure those rebuilds provide the service and infrastructure necessary to serve the entire population of the Lower Mainland rather than take an

isolated view of the two hospitals.”

NDP health critic Judy Darcy said it’s a “laudable goal” to take pressure off acute care hospitals but said she doubts the province is committing enough money to the required alternatives.

“I don’t think there’s the money there to make the enormous

strategic investments to turn this ship around.”

Darcy said she still hasn’t seen an adequate explanation of why Fraser’s per capita funding from the province is much lower than most other health authorities.

“Fraser has 36 per cent of the province’s population and 28 per cent of the funding.”

Review runs up several red flags The use of emergency departments at Fraser Health hospitals has been growing more than three times faster than the region’s population.

That’s one of the findings contained in the results of the provincially ordered review released Wednesday.

ER use has run at 6.4 per cent, compared to Fraser’s population growth of 1.7 per cent, the review found, mainly due to frequent users who tend to be older, poor and lacking regular care.

Most patients at Abbotsford, Burnaby, Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals could get their care through community clinics or family doctors, it suggests.

The region’s acute care hospitalization rate has been highest of all B.C. health regions since 2008 and more than 35 per cent of admissions exceeded the expected length of stay, limiting bed capacity.

Fifty-seven per cent of Fraser’s budget goes to acute care, leaving relatively small slices for residential care (18 per cent), community care (nine per cent) and mental health and substance use services (seven per cent.) langley’s finest fresh seafood market wild • sustainable • chemical free

New

Patient safety also scored poorly, according to the report.

Burnaby had the second-worst rate of nursing-sensitive adverse events — such as infections, bed sores and fractures in hospital — in Canada for two straight years.

“Rates at Surrey Memorial, Burnaby and Ridge Meadows hospitals have been almost double the national average and with no demonstrated improvement over the past three years.”

Other findings: • A 3.6 per cent increase in the region’s more than 8,000 residential care beds since 2010 has not kept pace with population growth.

• Nearly 300 new residential beds would be needed to reach the provincial average of 80 beds per 1,000 seniors over 75.

• Mental illness affects 17 per cent of Fraser’s adult population and 14 per cent of children and youth.

• 11.5 per cent more adults are expected to be living with mental illness by 2020, while the number in need of withdrawal management/treatment services is to climb from 160,000 to 200,000.

Question langeytimes.com

The lengthy and at times delayed review of Fraser Health Authority has come up with some worthwhile objectives. However, given that the minister of health believes Fraser Health’s budget is adequate, don’t expect a lot of improvements in health care any time soon.

The review’s main conclusion is that acute care hospitals are utilized more than they need to be by residents. Thus costs keep rising, given that acute care is far and away the most expensive type of care offered.

Why do people go to acute care so often? In some cases, it’s because they don’t have a family doctor. Population growth and a limited number of general practitioners mean that at least one-third of the population do not have anyone in the health system who sees them regularly, knows them by name and has a good handle on their medical issues.

Some have chronic conditions for which there is no option aside from acute care. The review noted the value of setting up clinics that specialize in treating people with certain conditions, or are part of certain groups. Unfortunately only nine per cent off the FHA budget goes towards community care, with 57 per cent going to acute care.

Some people in acute care are awaiting admission into long-term care. While many new facilities have been built in the region, most are for-profit, within the private sector.

These are unaffordable for some seniors. The number of beds subsidized by the province is limited in the FHA area, and so hospitals are unnecessarily plugged.

There are also limited mental health services available, despite the fact that 17 per cent of the adult population and 14 per cent of the youth and child population in FHA struggles with mental illness.

NDP critic Judy Darcy points out that FHA gets 28 per cent of the overall spending on health in B.C., yet is home to 36 per cent of the population. While that can be partially explained by the fact that specialist hospitals such as B.C. Children’s are in Vancouver, and by the fact that the FHA population is (on average) somewhat younger than other B.C. regions, it also illustrates the fact that this area has been chronically underfunded in health services for a long, long time.

Two examples in Langley will suffice. With a month’s notice, FHA recently cancelled a bathing program for seniors which allowed those unable to bath themselves to get this service — which they partially paid for. It is almost certain that the cancellation of this program will lead to more hospital admissions.

Another example is Langley Memorial Hospital. A recently-opened maternity centre was largely paid for by private donors. There are no long-term plans to expand the hospital, yet Langley Township plans to double its population in the next 25 years.

There will be significant health care problems in this region for many years to come.

Water use hits home they

say

The statements on the MakeWaterWork.ca website are alarming in themselves.

Did you know?

• 24 per cent of all Okanagan water is used outside our homes – mostly on lawns and gar-

dens.

• There is less water available per person in the Okanagan than anywhere else in Canada.

• The average person in the Okanagan uses 675 litres of water each day. The average Canadian uses 329.

It’s no wonder then that several Okanagan mayors and councillors have taken the pledge to make water work.

An initiative by the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s Okanagan WaterWise program, it only makes sense for everyone involved that we encourage outdoor water conservation during hot Okanagan summers.

And their timing is perfect, as you may have noticed the mercury has been climbing of late and is scheduled to stay there for the foreseeable future.

Make Water Work provides residents with tips to get the most of outdoor watering, like only sprinkling between dusk and dawn and only where it’s needed, that is on plants and lawns, not pavement.

Writer may have been too hard on teachers Editor: Thanks must be given to Lyle Phillips for providing me with the full facts regarding the teachers’ strike.

I realize that I was a little hard on teachers in my previous letter.

Perhaps my comments should have been directed at the BCTF instead.

I do appreciate the job teachers are doing under difficult circumstances and did appreciate the teachers who taught our sons at West Langley Elementary and Mountain Secondary.

Both sons now have successful careers.

Are teachers aware that there is another portion of the population who do not belong to a union and do not have the benefits which unions provide their members?

During 47 years of marriage my husband was self employed for a majority of those years.

We didn’t have the security of a regular pay cheque every month and there was no overtime pay, no holiday pay, no sick leave pay, no dental coverage, etc. Not even a

Aboriginal title doesn’t ‘lock in’ communal ownership Editor: Just some clarifications regarding Tom Fletcher’s column, Life after the Tsilhqot’in decision (B.C. Views, July 3).

1. Federal and provincial authority may vary with the strength of an aboriginal title claim, as Fletcher contends, in the sense that the obligation to consult and accommodate is proportional to the strength of the claim. But this is not so once aboriginal title has been proved in court (as the Tsilhqot’in have done).

Once such title is established it is no longer a matter of a “claim” and the aboriginal owners must consent to any development proposal respecting their land — unless the gov-

ernment supporting such a development meets the stringent constitutional test for limiting aboriginal rights and title in the absence of consent.

2. A finding of aboriginal title does not necessarily “lock in” communal ownership.

Just as treaty First Nations may agree to convert land to fee-simple title, aboriginal title holders may agree to surrender land to the federal Crown on the condition that it be re-conveyed to them for the purpose of conversion to fee simple.

I suspect that obtaining such agreement is no easier in the former scenario than the latter, but it may be.

3. The Tsilhqot’in had a

long history of keeping others out, and were the only First Nation that was hostile even to the fur trade.

But they did not fight a war in the 1860s to defend their territory from a “wave of gold seekers.”

They expelled everyone.

In 1864, after being threatened by the foreman of a crew building a wagon road through their territory — he had warned darkly of bringing back the small pox that had killed at least one third of their population two years earlier — they killed nearly all the crew and then killed or expelled all white settlers from their territory.

Hamar Foster, QC professor of law University of Victoria

holiday every year.

Referring to a comment by Lyle Phillips, my husband also went through university without any financial assistance.

It always has meant counting pennies for us and I’m sure there are many others in a similar position.

That is why I have difficulty understanding why those with a regular pay cheque and benefits that we never had still want more.

I guess I am just envious.

I do agree with teachers that more money is needed to improve class size and composition. But if the working conditions are that bad for teachers, how come so many are trying to get into the teaching profession?

Let’s hope all parties concerned, including the minister of education, come to their senses soon and a fair agreement is reached.

Joy Stadnyk Langley

Canada Day is for celebrating Canada Editor: With surprise, and not a little disgust did I read “Flags were in abundance at this year’s Canada Day” (July 10) under a picture that had everything but a Canadian Flag.

Well, if you looked really hard you could see one, but flags from other countries were in abundance.

Why in the world were they flying other countries’ flags on Canada Day? July 1 is, after all, Canada Day and not an international festival day.

We realize that there are immigrants from all over the world, but if they chose Canada and have a problem with flying the Canadian flag on Canada Day, maybe they should re-think why they came here in the first place.

I was not born in Canada, but the day

I landed here I embraced Canada, and on Canada Day I celebrate the country I chose to come to and use only one flag — the Canadian flag.

There are plenty of opportunities to celebrate one’s origin and international festivities, but not on Canada Day. That’s when you celebrate the country you chose to come to, not just its benefits, but also the country, the people, the nation.

I realize that there are those who want to eliminate the national pride in one’s country and make Canada just a small part in the “global community”, and if we allow that spirit to prevail, Canada Day will soon become Global Village Day. Roy Ingbre Langley

Surveillance camera not the answer for Innes Corner Editor: In response to the article in the Langley Times on July 10, in regards to the City of Langley beefing up security at Innes Corner, I would like to say that I support Rosemary Wallace in her opinions.

I understand that the City of Langley plans to spend $86,000 of taxpayers’ money on video surveillance which, in my opinion, is not the answer.

I live and work in the Langley City area, and for over a year, I have spent my lunch breaks on sunny days at the fountains at Innes Corner and I have never been asked to buy drugs.

I know there is drug activity going on there but what these people need is not cameras, but help with their addiction and mental health issues and ways to over-

come homelessness. We as a community need to step up and have resources for these people, not cameras to watch them.

Rosemary Wallace has some great ideas as well in regards to bringing in businesses to increase foot traffic and in turn these will create a positive atmosphere and jobs.

I also agree we need to help cre-

ate an impression that we are a safe city but let’s also not forget in order to change that, it requires social programs, jobs and housing so let’s deal with some of the core issues not the cover-ups or BandAids.

Changing the atmosphere starts at the roots of the problems and Gateway of Hope can only do so much to provide temporary relief

and not permanent help.

It’s also funny how the same day this article was printed there was another article in another newspaper, stating the crime rate is down in the City, so spending $86,000 on cameras seems to me like a ludicrous idea and does not address the real problems.

PRESENTS Strange injury nets large payments You probably do a lot of driving for work or pleasure. No doubt you try to be careful. But sometimes that’s not enough – through no fault of yours you may get hurt in a car accident. A recent case shows that if that happens, the courts will likely have your back.

What are vestibular injuries? Turns out they have to do with damage to our natural sense of balance (regulated by the inner ear), which we normally take for granted.

In Jeffrey’s case, they led to him suffering a sense of dizziness, of disequilibrium. He Jeffrey, 46, was driving to Vancouver one felt like he was moving forward when he winter day.

His problems were leaving his vehicle driverless. Unfortunately, worse when he moved his neck (due to the tractor-trailer slid down the hill and the neck injury). He clearly had sustained a struck a number of vehicles below, includstrange injury, hard to put into words, but ing the car Jeffrey was sitting in. confirmed by medical experts and tests.

Though damaged, Jeffrey’s car was still drivable (it was ultimately written off as a total loss). Jeffrey initially continued on after the collision, but then decided to turn around and drive back home as he felt unwell due to the trauma and emotional distress from the collision. He made it as far as Princeton, got temporary car repairs done there the next day, reported the accident to the police, then got himself home to Naramata.

At the trial in late 2013, the defendants admitted fault, so the court had to decide what compensation payments were fair.

Apart from things like past income losses and lost earning ability in the future, the court dealt with Jeffrey’s claim for “pain and suffering” damages. This element is always difficult to gauge in terms of money, which is a poor substitute for the loss of enjoyment of life anyway.

Individually and together, his neck and vestibular injuries caused physical and psychological damage – they led to ongoing fear of injury from rapid movement, migraine headaches, anxiety, fear of driving and other travel, and sleeplessness.

Before this accident, Jeffrey was a vital and energetic man with lots of enthusiasm for life. Afterwards, his life became far more one-dimensional, with the strain of work and the ongoing toll of his injuries leaving him with little energy for anything else.

If you’ve been hurt in a car crash, see your lawyer as soon as possible afterwards to protect your rights.

In the end, the court decided that, in addition to substantial compensation for his past income losses and lost future earning ability, $120,000 was a fair “pain and suffering” payment for Jeffrey.

Here, Jeffrey suffered serious and chronic injuries, which sapped his energy and were likely to persist. Most serious were the injuries to his neck and his “vestibular” injuries.

Critter Care intern Chloe Caverly from London, England, has raised four skunks since they were just weeks old. “I absolutely love them,” she said of her furry family

The weekend was scorching hot, but that didn’t stop more than 4,300 people from attending Critter Care’s annual open house — where they got up close and personal with B.C.’s orphaned and injured wildlife.

“I really want to thank everyone, from the volunteers to the firefighters and RCMP who came out, and especially all those who came to visit under these hot conditions,” said Critter Care founder Gail Martin.

Numbers were down a bit on Sunday, mainly because of the heat and the World Cup final.

At the open houses she was caring for two very young raccoons that had been brought in Saturday. A new bear cub was also brought in over the weekend bringing the total to seven rescued this year.

In total, Critter Care has taken in 700 orphaned and injured animals, including 10 fawns, three river otters, a beaver kit, more than 100 baby raccoons and orphaned squirrels and skunks.

The interns, who come from all over the world to care for the animals, showed their charges to the public, while educating them about the babies’ needs, including having to get up in the middle of the night to bottle feed them with special formula.

Critter Care survives on donations from the public and the open house is are their biggest fundraiser, followed by their dinner and dance held in April.

a unique bakery restaurant One of the last things I expected to find on Production Way was a little restaurant that specializes in fine French pastry. An errand brought me to this highly industrial section of Langley City and I was looking for a place to have lunch. I noticed a signboard that announced Pastry Papa was open for business and lunch was served. Intrigued by the name and because I was really hungry, I decided to give it a try and boy am I glad I did! I had one of the best chicken Caesar wraps I have ever tasted. Following my lunch, Kitchen Manager David Chen joined me and told me about the French Pastry side of his business.

He trained under Chef Jack at the Pacific Academy of Culinary Arts and told me that his cooking style is fusion; he loves to experiment with different cultural dishes and put his unique spin on them, but his baking style is French. For desert, he offered me a selection of French macaroons accompa-

nied by his new summer creation; Summer Breeze. The macaroons were delicious. The first one I tried was called a salty caramel and it was delightful. It started off with a subtle flavor which grew and flourished in my mouth. The salty flavor came almost an afterthought as the delicious treat melted in my mouth.

David explained to me that most of the food and pastries prepared here are made from scratch and are free from additives. He told me with pride that the croissants, a signature item, are made with real butter.

In fact absolutely none of his bakery items are made with margarine. It’s butter all the way! He let me sample a croissant and I could see what he meant. The croissant was light as a feather and very buttery in flavour. They serve four different kinds including ham and Swiss cheese, chocolate, almond and plain. I took a plain and an almond one home and let my husband try

“The most delicious food needs to be made with heart.”

the plain one. He doesn’t usually like croissants but he proclaimed this one the best he had ever tasted and asked when I was going to pick up some more.

The restaurant serves a nice variety of soups and sandwiches that are all made from scratch. The portions are huge and one sandwich could easily serve two people. David offers a great assortment and you can see his fusion influence in each of his dishes. He likes to combine Japanese, North American and even Mexican flavours in the sandwiches. The spicy bean burrito containing chorizo and the Chipotle beef sandwich are just a couple of examples of these diverse influences.

Another great thing about this restaurant is that it caters. If you are having a little get together or a cocktail party you need to visit Pastry Papa’s website to see the comprehensive amount of delicacies David and his staff can create for you. One of the items on the catering menu is the summer breeze. I tried it and this beautiful creation was refreshing and delicious all at the same time. The word divine doesn’t even come close to describing how wonderful this dish tasted.

We all know volunteering supports and strengthens our communities at a grassroots level and it doesn’t take much of a peek behind the scenes to see how much volunteers mean to the Prospera Valley GranFondo. There is literally no aspect of the event that doesn’t, in some way, depend on people being charitable with their time and energy. Our volunteers share in every success achieved by the GranFondo and we’re proud that they choose to spend their time with us.

Volunteers really are the lifeblood of community events like the Prospera Valley GranFondo and we know this amazing celebration of community and cycling just wouldn’t happen without the contribution of time and talent that volunteers make. I just love seeing families and groups of friends choosing to spend their time together volunteering for an event. It’s a fantastic experience to be able to get involved in the behind the scenes action, meet new people and be part of something exciting.

Women Take Part Although their numbers are increasing every year, it’s taken time for women to warm up to mass participation road cycling events. Last year, women comprised 37.5 per cent of the overall participants in the Fraser Valley’s Prospera Valley GranFondo (PVGF), which offers three different routes of varying lengths, including a 160km GranFondo, 88km MedioFondo and a 50km PrestoFondo. Breaking the numbers down further, women accounted for 13.5 per cent of riders in the GranFondo, 40 per cent of riders in the 88km MedioFondo, and 54 per cent of riders in the 50km PrestoFondo.

Marc Campbell, who came onboard as the new event director for the Prospera Valley GranFondo this year, would like to see those numbers climb even higher — into the 50 per cent range.

“I think the Prospera Valley GranFon-

do has the perfect course for all levels of riders,” said Campbell in a recent interview with CyclingWEST. “I want us to be known as the most attainable and affordable GranFondo in the country. I think we can help with the growth of cycling in the Fraser Valley by using our event as the vehicle that appeals to women riders and to beginners of both genders.”

In support of this objective, the Fort Langley Cyclery has been offering a series of training rides for all levels of cyclists, including a weekly 6 p.m. women’s ride every Tuesday.

What motivates women to ride in big events? A group of women who have taken part in the Prospera Valley GranFondo during the past two years offered their perspective on the sport. Here’s what they had to say about their GranFondo experience:

Now in its third year, the annual Prospera Valley GranFondo (PVGF), which takes place on Sunday (July 20) is a celebration of community, sport and healthy living. Founded in 2012 by a group of cycling enthusiasts in Langley, it’s the biggest mass participation cycling event in the Fraser Valley, attracting upwards of 1,000 cyclists of all ages and skill levels.

Since it started, the PVGF has been enthusiastically embraced by the community and each year it gets bigger and better. This year, the event will offer three options for riders, including the 50km PrestoFondo, the 88km MedioFondo and the big ride, the 160km GranFondo.

Giving back is an important part of the PVGF, and during the first two years, the event has donated $40,000 to Special Olympics BC. This year organizers are excited to welcome a second community partner, Cy-

and CEO of Prospera Credit Union, founding and title sponsor of the PVGF. “Bringing the iRide Program to schools in the Fraser Valley is a great way to promote cycling and ensure that kids have the knowledge and awareness to stay safe when they venture out.”

“Cycling BC is extremely grateful to have partnered with the Prospera Valley GranFondo to create new iRide Schools Programming,” says Richard Wooles, executive director of Cycling BC. “Our organizations share a common goal of getting kids on bikes and teaching them how to safely have fun.”

“We look forward to working with the PVGF to book new schools with the Cycling BC iRide curriculum and see these new programs happen,” says Dr. Stephen Berg, schools and youth manager with Cycling BC. “Being involved with Cycling BC and their iRide Program is an excellent way to not only give back to youth, but to promote cycling

at an early age as part of a healthy lifestyle,” says Marc Campbell, event director of the PVGF. “Families are more likely to participate together in whatever their kids are active in and the iRide Program is a great vehicle to build confidence and pave the way for kids to one day participate in events like the PVGF.” The PVGF has something for everyone, from seasoned cyclists to novice riders. Created by the Canadian Velo Event Management Society (a not-for-profit incorporated in British Columbia) it attracts cyclists to the Fraser Valley for a scenic day of cycling that begins and ends in beautiful Fort Langley.

It’s an event that requires 250 volunteers to make it happen. If you would like to experience the excitement of this amazing event for yourself, either as a volunteer or rider, visit valleygranfondo.com for more information or check out their Facebook page.

Last year 1,200 youth participated in the program and they expect 3,500 more this year.

The primary objectives of the iRide Program are to inspire children and youth to develop their bike riding skills, increase their fitness level and realize the benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle. All are equally important to the organizers and sponsors of the PVGF. Through the partnership, the iRide Program will be expanded to include a number of schools throughout the Fraser Valley.

Seniors Games challenge the mind as well as the body Jim Mc G re g o r

In 1962, Sheila Lanktree’s boyfriend taught her how to play cribbage. “He taught me for fun but I have always had a competitive streak so I learned to play the game quite well,” Sheila smiles. “I have played in quite a few recreational tournaments to support local charities and when the opportunity arose to compete in Crib in the Senior’s Games in Kamloops last year, I was excited.”

Cribbage is one of 25 sports that will be on display at the Langley 2014 B.C. Seniors Games to be held in Langley City and Langley Township from September 9th. to 13th. Langley is part of the Fraser Valley Region 3 team that will be competing with over 4000 senior athletes from around the province.

The B.C. Seniors Games Society was organized in 1987 with the assistance of the Provincial Government. Sport and recreation development for seniors has a direct bearing on the quality of life for older British Columbians and for the province as a whole.

Activity of both mind and body has a beneficial effect on the health and well being of older adults. The registered Society is a volunteer-based charitable

cluded in the games, Sheila explains, “The organizers realize that the Senior community has a wide range of abilities and they try to meet the needs of all seniors and so the Games are designed to tax the brain as well as the muscles.”

Cribbage, or crib, is a card game traditionally for two players, but commonly played with three, four or more, that involves playing and grouping cards in combinations which gain points. Cribbage has several distinctive features: the cribbage board used for scorekeeping, the eponymous crib or box (a separate hand counting for the dealer), two distinct scoring stages (the play and the show) and a unique scoring system including points for groups of cards that total fifteen.

In 2013, Sheila and her crib partner, Bill Pike, qualified for the Games in Kamloops. “We went in with no expectations, but to win gold would have been nice.” Sheila shares, “ there were fifty couples qualified which meant five flights of ten couples. Each grouping had a gold, silver and bronze medal winner.

The five top gold medal winners then compete. We won a silver continued on next page

Cribbage — 6 teams across the region to see who will move on to the Seniors Games. There will be six teams going from Region 3 to the Games. “We didn’t qualify this year,” smiles Sheila. “You can be a great crib player, but if you don’t get the cards, you aren’t going to get the points. Many games are won on the pegging alone.”

“But even though I’m not in competition this year I am certainly going to volunteer, we were treated so well in Kamloops last year and I would like to give some of that back.”

“I encourage everyone to come out and watch. The opening ceremonies were great and when we marched in and Nancy Green Raine lit the torch, Wow, what an experience.”

“We made some very good friends at the games and even though it was competitive, there were some great displays of sportsmanship and I hope we can duplicate that here in Langley.”

medal in our flight and that was very exciting.”

Langley and Aldergrove athletes helped lead the Fraser Valley, Region3, to the most medals at the 2013 B.C. Seniors Games.

Fraser Valley athletes won a total of 403 medals, including 168 gold. They also captured 139 silver and 96 bronze.

Several of the activities take place throughout the year in most communities at community centers or Senior’s facilities. Badminton, bridge, cribbage, darts, five pin bowling, floor curling, ice curling, pickleball, swimming, table tennis and whist are all going strong throughout the winter months.

Other activities such as bocce ball, cycling, golf, tennis, horse shoes, lawn bowling, slo-pitch and track and field are more reliant on the weather and, if qualifying rounds are required, they take place later in the spring.

During the spring each year there are cribbage play downs

Silver Secrets: L ilian n e Fuller

We all remember those weekends when we said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bye Mom and Dad, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going with Grandpa and Grandma, see ya when we get back.â&#x20AC;? More and more grandparents are becoming summer caregivers to lessen the costs of day care or expensive summer camps. With a bit of planning and research, it can be an educational experience for both generations.

Summer is time for some family fun. Many of us, Topher and I included, share the joy of grand parenting and use the summer months free from school and work schedules as a time to get reconnected with the grandkids.

Here are some silver secrets for activities so you can avoid hearing those two words dreaded by parents and grandparents alike: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m bored.

One of Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best kept se-

crets is the Canadian Museum of Flight. Located at Hangar 3, at the Langley Airport (5333-216 Street) the museum is open 7 days a week. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots to see and do at this highly interactive museum. For seniors and those between six and fifteen admission is only $7 a piece. If your grandkids are under five, they get in for free. For the aviation enthusiasts, a yearly membership is an incredible deal. For $28.53 including taxes (subject to change without notice.) your membership extends to the Seattle Museum of Flight, the Military Museum in Chilliwack, and the Squamish West Coast Rail Museum. In addition this membership offers guest privileges as well.

Inside the hangar and outside on the tarmac are displays of engines and restored vintage aircraft. These aircraft include a de Havilland Tiger Moth, a de

Starry nights for Langley actress LINDSAY WARNOCK STARS AS PRINCESS FIONA IN TUTS’ PRODUCTION OF SHREK BR EN D A AN D E R SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

Lindsay Warnock can’t help but laugh as she recalls standing on stage in Stanley Park’s Malkin Bowl two summers ago, and having a raccoon wander up in the middle of a performance of The Music Man. “It’s a hilarious thing to try to keep going when there are these two glowing eyes staring at you,” chuckled the Langley actress over the phone, during a break in rehearsals of this summer’s production of Shrek the Musical.

But, like true professionals, Warnock and her castmates carried on with the scene, only cracking up once they were safely off the stage.

The odd, unexpected cameo by local wildlife is just one of the things that make performing in TUTS special, said Warnock, who makes her third appearance with the outdoor theatre company this summer.

After playing keyboard in TUTS’ 2011 production of Bye Bye Birdie, Warnock stepped out of the orchestra pit and onto the stage the following year for The Music Man, where she played Ethel Toffelmier — a role that earned her the E.V. Young Award for Most Outstanding Performance.

This summer, the Langley Fine Arts School and Capilano University theatre graduate has been cast as Princess Fiona in Shrek, which opens tonight (July 15) in Stanley Park.

The show will alternate nights throughout the summer, with TUTS’ other production, Legally Blonde.

As places to spend a summer evening go, the Vancouver park — recently named the best in the world by TripAdvisor — isn’t half bad, admitted Warnock.

“It’s a beautiful place to go and work and do theatre,” she said.

TIM MAT HE S ON s u bmitte d pho to

Langley’s Lindsay Warnock and Matt Palmer star in Theatre Under the Stars’ summer 2014 production of Shrek the Musical, which opens tonight (July 15) in the Malkin Bowl outdoor theatre at Stanley Park.

“I would jump at the chance to return to TUTS again and again, just because it’s such a unique experience. Being outdoors, you get the setting sun . . . . It’s really gorgeous, just a nice environment.”

And many of the audience members are regulars who have been coming for years, she said, so they’re prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws at them — whether it be a bit of rain or a few hungry mosquitoes.

And, rain or shine, bugs or rac-

coons, said Warnock, coming out to see Shrek will be worth it.

“I was a huge fan of the movie when I was a kid,” said the 22-year-old, whose day job is as an emcee for the famous Grouse Mountain Lumberjack Show.

“When I heard there was a musical version, I couldn’t wait to see what it was about.”

With songs like Let Your Freak Flag Fly, Shrek the Musical, which opened on Broadway in 2008 and is still touring in the UK, focuses on the message that everyone is

unique and should be proud of who they are.

As a family-oriented show, Shrek works on two levels, said Warnock, with some jokes that will appeal to younger audience members and others that will fly straight over their heads, for the grown-ups in the crowd.

Anyone who is familiar with the fairy tale — about a grumpy ogre who must rescue a beautiful princess in order to return peace and quiet to his beloved swamp — will know that Warnock’s

character, Fiona, undergoes a rather startling physical transformation toward the end of the story. Asked how an actor can be taken from human to ogre during a live production, she called it “an 88-second magical transformation.

“It’s fast and it’s furious, but it works,” she chuckled. “And I’m so excited for the crowd to just be amazed by how fast it ends up being.

“It gets a little manic backstage, but there is lots of help and it ends up being stunning when it happens.”

Playing across from Warnock as Shrek, is Matt Palmer, a performer whose work was already familiar to the Langley actress.

“As soon as I found out who I was working with, I was super stoked,” she said.

But she has been equally impressed by the numerous young actors she has met for the first time while working on Shrek.

“In this production there are a whole lot of new, fresh faces.

There is so much talent in this show. The ensemble, who are playing the fairy tale creatures, are unbelievably talented. I’m excited to work with them.”

Warnock will get to do just that every second night from now until Aug. 22.

In July, Shrek will play on odd numbered dates, Legally Blonde on even dates; in August, they will switch.

Shows start at 8 p.m., except on fireworks nights, when the curtain will rise an hour earlier.

Tickets range from $30 to $45.

More details are available on the Theatre Under the Stars website at tuts.ca.

Tickets may also be purchased by phone by calling 604-696-4295.

Call centre hours are Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

They are not hard to spot this year in Langley.

And for the problem they represent, they are remarkably good looking. Even if they had just raided your garden, you would have to admit that rabbits are cute.

For my student researcher, Jennifer Rumley, the first sighting of a rabbit on our Salt Spring Island research site last summer was not welcome. Her research on how to help native camas plants flourish involved plots fenced with two-metre high deer fencing — but the rabbit she saw was right in the plot.

The well-known phrase “breeding like rabbits” is very apropos. Releasing a single pet rabbit into the wild might seem harmless. In fact, if a rabbit was neglected in captivity, it would be seen as a benefit to nature. But that’s where nature gets complicated.

The snowshoe hare, Nuttall’s cottontail and the white-tailed jack rabbit are the only native rabbit species in B.C. These are relatively rare in B.C. — the rabbits you are likely to see are non-native rabbits.

So, what’s the problem?

They are big eaters, with each rabbit consuming about 0.1 kg of dry matter per day.

They have also been known to spread diseases such as tularaemia (rabbit fever) that can infect humans.

The welfare of the rabbits themselves is also a concern.

Although in springtime they may breed “like rabbits,” they are vulnerable to predators, disease and lack of food at other times of the year.

These issues are particularly apparent following a rabbit

VOICE FOR THE HORSE ORGANIZER AT WORK ON NEW PROJECT

A 2012 campaign honouring wild horses was such a success that its Langley-based organizer has decided to take another run at it.

Voice for the Horse founder Yvonne Allen has started an Indiegogo crowd funding campaign to raise money for a new production this year — one which salutes the noble war horse and will include an original song, penned by musical partners Tiffany Desrosiers and Mark Devigne.

Allen’s goal is to raise $12,500 toward payment for the song as well as to fund a music video to accompany it.

The success of a campaign two years ago, highlighting North America’s wild horses, prompted Allen to expand the

scope of her project which aims to better connect horses and humans, she said.

Allen points to the story of a 10-yearold Michigan girl named Olivia, who had participated in the campaign and later showed the Stronger video to her class, after having been teased and bullied.

“The energy shift (in the classroom) was very dramatic,” said Allen.

Former Langley resident and founder of the Spirit of the Horse Memorial Garden, Joy Richardson will be featured in the new video, as will Allen’s own horses Angel and Mischief.

“I would like to see the video shot and out by the end of September,” said Allen.

Once it’s complete, it will be available

for viewing online at voiceforthehorse. com.

“Metaphorically, Tiffany and Marc will write lyrics to convey the strength of the war horses and how they show up in their power, nothing can take them down. I can not help but think about how through the specially crafted lyrics Tiffany and Marc will write, can convey what real strength is,” Allen said.

“It was never the plan to produce a song annually,” she said. “However we came to realized if we did, more lives — in particular of our youth — would become empowered.”

Dolfo back doing what she loves A YEAR AFTER UNDERGOING SURGERY, AND TWO YEARS AFTER LAST COMPETING, TANIKA DOLFO IS AIMING FOR THE GOLD MEDAL GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s

A year ago, Tanika Dolfo spent her 14th birthday under the knife, having surgery to repair a detached labrum in her hip.

Compare that to this year, and the Langley teen — who turned 15 on July 9 — is getting ready to represent Team Fraser Valley in track and field at the upcoming B.C. Summer Games.

The Games run in Nanaimo this week (July 17 to 20).

“Going into this year, that was the one thing I really wanted, to be able to say I went to the Summer Games,” she said.

“That is a pretty big deal for kids my age.”

Dolfo is one of 98 athletes and 16 coaches, assistant coaches and adult supervisors named to the Fraser Valley team from Langley, Fort Langley and Aldergrove (see page 28 for the full list).

The last two years have been forgettable for Dolfo, largely due to the pain in her right hip.

The injury was likely a result of wear and tear on her body, likely from her time as a competitive gymnast, she figures.

Dolfo began in the sport at age four with the Langley Gymnastics Foundations and progressed through the competitive stream all the way to Level 3.

The pain had gotten so bad that while with her family watching older brother Braedon compete live at the 2012 Paralympic Games, she was in pain from walking around London and would need time to rest and recover.

And while it was at this point that she realized the extent of her injury, Dolfo was able to draw inspiration from the athletes she saw competing at the Paralympic Games.

“Seeing all those athletes with disabilities … look at where they are now because they didn’t give up,” she said.

“I looked at my life (and thought)

even though this is a bump in the road, I shouldn’t give up, I should keep going.”

But with physiotherapy not alleviating the pain, Dolfo had to shut sports down completely two years ago.

In addition to gymnastics, Dolfo has been a long-time member of the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club.

“It was really hard for me because I have grown up with sports being a big part of my life; this is what I love to do,” she said.

“Sports are my passion and I couldn’t participate the way I wanted.”

She underwent surgery last July and spent the next couple of months on crutches.

One of the most difficult parts was being house-bound while her friends enjoyed summer excursions to the beach and into Vancouver.

Dolfo, meanwhile, spent her time first resting, and then rehabbing.

“It was a challenging time, but in the end, it was worth it,” she said.

And there was no question Dolfo would return to sport, and while she loved gymnastics, the physical toll it had taken was too much for her to continue so she

chose to focus on track and field.

“In my head (not returning to sport) was never really a choice,” she said.

“I would never want to stop.

(The injury) happened, but I am not going to let it stop me.”

After two years away from the sport and 11 months following the surgery, Dolfo made a triumphant return.

Competing at the Mustangs annual Pacific Invitational Track and Field meet at McLeod Athletic Park in mid-June, she won gold in the hammer throw and bronze in the shot put, achieving personal bests in both.

“It was so exciting,” she said.

“For me, it was everything to be competing again and I was just really thankful for everyone who helped me get there.

“Without them, I wouldn’t be here, it is just a really grateful feeling.”

“I am not surprised,” said Dwayne Lotnick, one of her longtime coaches with the Mustangs.

“She worked really hard.”

And while some athletes are extremely focused — which she is — you can tell Dolfo enjoys the sport and has fun, he added.

Lotnick said he could tell there was some nervousness as Dolfo worked her way back, but even-

Tanika Dolfo will compete in the shot put and hammer throw at this weekend’s B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo. The Langley teen returned to competition last month at the Pacific Invitational hosted by the Langley Mustangs, winning the gold in the hammer throw (photo left). tually that vanished as her confidence grew.

“It is tough for athletes trying to come back … there is always that doubt,” he said. “(But) when they get their confidence back, you just see it.”

An injury can also serve the purpose of helping an athlete moving forward.

“They understand their body a little bit more and they understand it is a long road back and

you have to work hard, you have to do all the little things.”

Now that Dolfo is back in the swing of things, she is hoping to keep busy this summer.

In addition to the upcoming B.C. Summer Games, she is hoping to be selected for Team B.C. to compete at the Canadian Legion youth track and field championships, which will be held Aug. 15 to Aug. 17 at Langley’s McLeod Athletic Park.

Streak ends at 12 for Jr. Blaze After seeing their winning streak snapped at a dozen games, the Langley Junior Blaze quickly rediscovered their winning form in emphatic fashion.

The Blaze had won 3-2 on Friday night at McLeod Park over the Abbotsford Junior Cardinals for their 12th straight victory, but dropped a 2-1 decision on Sunday morning to the visiting Victoria Junior Eagles in game one of a doubleheader.

Game two was no contest as Langley pounded the Eagles 14-1.

The result leave Langley atop the B.C. Junior U16 Premier Baseball League with a mark of 30-3.

Against the Cardinals, Yi-Fan Pan’s RBI single in the sixth inning scored Dominic Baptista for the winning run in the 3-2 victory.

Cole Cantelon and Broden Bydeweg had the other RBIs for Langley while Matthew Poirier pitched a complete game with six strikeouts for the win.

Victoria scored two runs in the

fifth inning to break a scoreless tie in the opener on Sunday as Parker Logan was tagged with the loss in the 2-1 defeat.

The second game saw the Blaze offence come to life in the 14-1 rout with the team scoring four runs in the first, five in the second and another five in the fourth.

Nate Kolb, Cantelon and Baptista paced the offence with two RBIs apiece, while Zackary Davies allowed one run over 4.1 innings.

He struck out five.

••• The Langley Blaze continued their recent trend of win one, lose one. The U18 baseball team split a pair of doubleheaders on the road and are now 8-8 in their past 16 games. They lead the B.C. Premier Baseball League with a 30-11 record, one game better than the 27-10 North Shore Twins.

Langley split with the Nanaimo Pirates, winning 4-1 and losing 3-0 on Saturday.

And on Sunday against the

Parksville Royals, won 5-4 before losing 6-5.

The first game saw the Blaze strike for four runs in the sixth inning, including two RBIs from Dakota Curry and one from Brendan Halstrom. Jonathan Keltie struck out eight in the complete-game victory.

The rematch saw the Blaze manage just three hits in the shutout loss.

In Parksville the next day, Langley scored three times in the sixth for the come-from-behind 5-4 win over the Royals.

Liam Wyatt drove in a pair and Andre Pelletier had one RBI. Dakota Curry earned the win, with 2.1 innings of work, retiring all seven batters he faced.

And the weekend was capped off with the Royals scoring once in the seventh inning to break the 6-6 tie for the win.

Curry led the Langley offence with three hits — including a home run — and three RBIs.

Langley Thunder’s Olivia Ohlmann tries to split a pair of New Westminster defenders during opening day at the bantam minor box lacrosse provincial championships at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge last week (July 9). The Thunder placed fourth at the tournament after losing 3-2 in double overtime in the bronze medal game on Sunday.
