GANG MEMBER EXT RADITED TO CANADA TO FACE CHARGES IN PAIR OF LANGLEY RELATED KILLINGS DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Police in Mexico have arrested one of two men charged in the brazen February 2009 daylight shooting in a busy Walnut Grove mall, which killed 26-year-old Kevin LeClair of Abbotsford and the May 9, 2008, shooting death of Jonathan Alex Barber, 23, of Langley who was killed while driving a Porsche Cayenne in Burnaby.

The Mexican Attorney General’s Office issued a statement CORY Monday that Cory VALLE E “Franky” Vallee was arrested on Aug. 14 in the western state of Jalisco.

According to the bulletin, after Vallee was arrested for “administrative offenses,” a criminal record search determined that a “Red Notice” had been issued by the Interpol international law enforcement agency, something that is the closest thing to an international arrest warrant and calls on member countries to “seek the location and arrest of a person wanted by a judicial jurisdiction or an international tribunal with a view to his/her extradition.”

Gunsmith faces numerous charges MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

Police on both sides of the border have their sights on a 37-year-old Langley man accused of converting semi-automatic guns into fully automatic guns with silencers, and shipping them all over the world.

On the morning of July 17, Bradley Michael Friesen was arrested at his tent at the NK’Mip campground in Osoyoos, where he was camping with his five-year-old son.

Numerous firearms and illegal firearms-related devices were seized from Friesen’s van at the campground. Many of the firearms found in the van were stashed underneath a booster seat in which Friesen’s young son was seated, as well as at the feet of the child.

In May, officers from the Tucson office of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives called RCMP to tell them they had been investigating Friesen for selling Glock switches, silencers and gun parts via the internet.

A joint Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. (CFSEU-BC) and U.S. investigation began, resulting in investigators conducting surveillance on him and his activities.

“It did not take long before he was observed mailing packages of parts and silencers to addresses in Canada, the U.S., and Australia,” said CFSEU-BC’s Sgt. Linsday Houghton at a press conference at RCMP headquarters in Surrey on Thursday.

Police also observed the man visiting a home in Langley, which officers quickly suspected of being a workshop for making silencers and gun parts.

The investigation revealed that the suspect was going camping in Osoyoos on July 16.

“With him out of town, investigators obtained search warrants for his residence in the 21000-block 95A Avenue, his pickup truck, his workshop and his van located at the NK’Mip campground in Osoyoos, and his tent at the campground,” said Houghton.

On July 16, the CFSEU-BC was advised by the United States Attorney in Tucson, Arizona that they had indicted the man on weapons trafficking charges and would be seeking extradition to the United States.

Friesen is facing 46 firearm and trafficking firearm charges here in Canada and is being held in the Surrey pre-trial centre.

But the U.S. wants to try him as well and prosecutor have started the process to send him there.

“As we all know charges in the U.S. carry

Police displayed some of the items seized from Langley gunsmith Bradley Michael Friesen at a press conference held Thursday at the B.C. RCMP headquarters in Surrey. The 37-year-old man, who was arrested at a campground in Osoyoos, is now facing 46 chages in total, on a variety of counts related to guns and ammunition. much longer sentences if convicted,” said Houghton.

Police said that Friesen, who has prior gun convictions, flew under their radar and wouldn’t have been investigated without the U.S. Bureau contacting them.

“We don’t know how long he has been doing this. He is fairly prolific and his level of expertise is very unique. He is Mr. Frankenstein of gun making,” said Houghton.

A family member of Friesen’s was called to take the boy but Ministry of Children and Family Services were called to investigate.

Friesen rents two properties on 95A Avenue in Walnut Grove.

He is known to police and was convicted of attempted murder with a firearm in Penticton in 2003. He had a lifetime firearms ban.

Police say he is connected to several mid-level crime groups.

Among items seized from Friesen was a fully functional gun made and used in the Second World War. Also seized was a high powered rifle identical to the kind used in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook.

“Bradley Friesen is a dangerous offender who is alleged to have showed a complete disregard for the safety of the public, including compromising the safety of his own child by putting him in proximity to

firearms and other weapons. As a parent, I find this absolutely appalling,” said Houghton.

Charges to date include weapons trafficking, possession for the purpose of weapons trafficking, importing or exporting knowing it is unauthorized, importing or exporting components and parts used in manufacture or asembly of an automatic weapon, importing or exporting prohibited wepons and ammuntion, possession contrary to prohibition order, possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition without holding authorization or licence, and careless use of a firearm — contravention of storage regulations.

‘Total tanker’ response to fire on Zero Ave. in South Langley DA N F ERGUSO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

Some time after the male resident of the two-storey house near Zero Avenue and 207 Street left for work Monday morning (Aug. 18), the female resident was awakened by a strange sound.

She thought it was heavy rainfall, but when she discovered the house was filling with smoke, she realized it was the crackling noise of a fire.

The woman fled the house with the family dog.

The Township fire department arrived around 7 a.m. to find a “heavily involved” fire with thick clouds of smoke.

A “total tanker call” was issued to every fire hall in the Township to transport water to the fire.

With all seven tankers shuttling water to the scene, the department estimates it can maintain a flow of 250 gallons a minute for over 90 minutes.

The blaze caused between $250,000 to $400,000 in damage, the fire department estimates.

No one was hurt.

The cause of the blaze is under investigation, but it is not considered a suspicious fire.

The fire department has issued a reminder to residents to make sure smoke detectors are installed and tested.

C TV N ews pho to

Langley Township firefighters look over the ruins of a home on Zero Avenue that was badly damaged by fire on Monday morning. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Bus fight video posted to YouTube viewed more than 400,000 times From Page 1

“The woman [MacKay] was using profane language causing the complainant [the mother] along with other passengers to ask her to stop swearing,” a written RCMP statement said.

The police report said MacKay then threatened to kill the mother and her children before throwing a drink at the youngest child, a boy who was less than one year old.

The two women got into a brief physical fight, captured on a video later posted to YouTube by another passenger.

Both women then exited the bus, MacKay escorted by the driver.

The mother began walking toward the Willowbrook Shopping Centre with her children.

Police said MacKay ran after the mother and produced a knife, knocked over the complainant’s four-year-old daughter and kicked her other twoyear-old daughter in the back.

She was arrested 20 minutes later at her residence after a Surrey RCMP officer recognized the broadcast description as someone he had dealt with in the past.

New twist in missing teen case MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

In just a few days, Nicholas Hannon would have been 20 years old.

Instead of celebrating the Walnut Grove teen’s birthday, his father Craig had to go in front of the media, pleading for information that would bring his child home.

At a press conference on Thursday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced it has taken over Nicholas’ missing person case, believing the teenager had met with foul play and is no longer alive.

Nicholas was last seen on Feb. 26 by his younger brother at their Walnut Grove home.

On Feb. 27, his abandoned vehicle was found in the 10400 block of McKinnon Crescent at Derby Reach Park. Langley RCMP searched alongside the Fraser Valley Search and Rescue Team a couple of times.

Craig even hired a private searcher who uses bloodhound dogs. But nothing has ever been found leading to Nicholas.

Craig describes his son as a homebody who was a loving son, brother and uncle.

Nic didn’t have a history of depression or any other mental health issues. He didn’t work and kept close to home, said his dad.

“It’s so maddening. Life was good for Nic,” said his dad.

With his voice breaking, Craig pleaded for help.

“We need our Nicky to come home,” he said. He spoke of the

pain and suffering his family has experienced since he disappeared.

From the onset there were suspicious factors about this missing person case, said IHIT Sgt. Jennifer Pound on Thursday at RCMP headquarters.

Because of that, IHIT has liaised with the Langley RCMP throughout.

In mid-April, there was enough evidence to support the theory that Nicholas had met with foul play and is no longer alive, said Pound.

“We can tell you that investigators know that there are individuals in the community that know what happened to him,” Con tributed ph oto said Pound.

Nicholas Hannon went missing in February.

Police seek stabbing suspect What initially looked like a serious assault outside a Langley convenience store on Thursday evening turned out to be a relatively minor incident, but police are still asking for the public’s help to track down a suspect who attacked another man with a knife.

The incident took place outside the Brookswood 7-Eleven store at around 10 p.m. on Aug. 14, when a dispute between two men took a violent turn and one

man pulled out a knife and cut the other on the neck.

Although it was just a small nick, “neck injuries are worrisome” and the victim was taken to hospital where he received a small number of stitches and was released, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Patrick Davies.

He is not co-operating with police, Davies added.

Mounties searched for the suspect using Air One and a police dog, but neither was

successful in locating the man, described as a Caucasian in his early 20s, who stands about 5’6” tall, and weighs around 160 pounds.

At the time of the assault, he was wearing a black hat and a black T-shirt with red writing.

Anyone who has information about the incident and has not already spoken with police, is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Question langeytimes.com

August is often a quiet month, with many government agencies operating at half speed, due to vacations. Both Langley Township and Langley City councils take the entire month off, and many senior staff at all levels of government are not in the office.

This may be a reflection of how government in general demands more money for fewer services. People in government jobs, from the top to the bottom, have generous vacation packages to go along with pensions which most people can only dream about. Given that many senior people are away for a longer period during the summer, councils have decided not to bother meeting in August.

And the cycle continues.

Since when did the entire month of August become the equivalent of a Christmas holiday break? That is what it has become for many who are paid by taxpayers.

Numerous studies have pointed out how municipal budgets have grown far faster than the rate of inflation. In Langley Township, there is some justification for that, given that the population of the Township has grown significantly. Langley City, however, has barely grown in decades — but the cost of government keeps rising substantially.

Federal and provincial governments have also grown, although the level of service citizens receive from those governments varies significantly. It is very hard to get definitive answers from government officials, whether you are dealing with a passport application, citizenship test, Employment Insurance benefits, or health test.

Often citizens must wait on hold for hours to even speak to someone working at a government office. Yet staffing levels of all those agencies keeps growing, as does the cost.

This is not to say that all the money we pay in taxes is poorly-spent. Langley has benefited greatly from the numerous overpass projects which will ease traffic congestion at railway crossings. The last of these, the Mufford overpass, opened to traffic for the first time on Monday.

One of the benefits of that overpass is the closure of a dangerous interesction — Mufford Crescent and Highway 10 (Glover Road).

Local governments have improved recreation facilities, and the provincial government has initiated many traffic improvement projects, such as Highway 1. The negative side of that project is that only those who cross the Port Mann Bridge pay for it directly. All others using the much-improved road don’t pay a dime in tolls.

As governments break for the summer, citizens should consider the value they receive for their tax dollars.

Are you hopeful that classes will resume in public schools on Tuesday, Sept. 2?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

No place for dumping they

The problem of illegal dumping in Saanich and other Greater Victoria municipalities is endemic.

Worn-out couches, recliners and mattresses often riddle particular streets, as nearby neighbours scoff at the lack of pride shown by others in their community.

But the problem goes deeper than laziness. It’s not cheap to properly dispose of larger household goods at the Capital Region’s dump, Hartland landfill, nor is it anywhere near convenient.

The lure of a quiet boulevard during the stress of a move means a lot of unwanted toasters and TVs become eyesores waiting to be vandalized and eventually picked up by municipal crews. Any items of value are quickly scooped up by passersby.

Exacerbating the problem is a lack of widespread awareness about the province’s product stewardship program, in which dozens of kitchen appliances, electronics, lightbulbs and fluorescent tubes, paint and mechanical oils can be dropped off at various recycling stations without charge.

It would be nice to see more pride in the cleanliness of one’s neighbourhood. But it would be equally nice to figure out a way for residents to dump their larger items in a proper location without charge. Perhaps a system where one annual large drop-off is permitted is a place to start.

Until then, remember the boulevards and empty lots are no place for your crusty couch.

Students need to get a good education Editor: The B.C. Supreme Court ruled that there be a certain level of learning assitance in classrooms. This happened in April 2012 and January 2014, when it ruled as unconstitutional two statutes enacted by the BC Liberal government, which restricted teachers’ bargaining rights.

Money is being spent by the government by continually going back to the B.C. Supreme Court to dispute past rulings.

A good percantage of students in our public school system are not getting the education they need to equip themselves for the real world. Then a good number of them end up getting in trouble with the law.

Some cannot afford lawyers, and we as taxpayers end up paying for these lawyers.

Then there are the judges, court staff, jail guards, vehicles and more buildings for courts and jails.

I cannot understand why the BC Liberal government is fighting against having a good level of teaching assistants in classrooms. I understand that is the hold-up in reaching a settlement in the teachers’ strike.

When people are sent to jail, we are again losing money through the loss of tax dollars that would go to government, if they had jobs.

When prisoners are institutionalized, then it costs more

PR EMIER C H R IST Y C LA RK

tax dollars.

In my career, I was a deputy sheriff. I remember bringing reading material to prisoners when I first started. By far the majority of these people would then rip up this material and throw it all over. Many of them plugged toilets with this ripped-up material.

I then asked them why they did this. Many indicated that I was trying to make fun of them, since they could not read. They told me they went through school but came out unable to read. That is when I first started to think that

we needed more learning assistants in schools.

Premier Christy Clark sends her own child to a private school, and I cannot blame her. I do know that not everyone can afford to send their children to a private school.

Yes, I understand that we have to pay for what we get. I just do not want to pay to slow down our already-slow legal system, just to have fewer learning assistants in classrooms. We really need these teachers.

Now the BC Liberals are suggesting paying families to keep young people out of the public school system altogether.

BILL TAYLOR, LANGLEY

Trustee decides not to run again Light sentence is disturbing Editor: I have decided not to seek re-election in November. I made this very difficult decision in May after lengthy discussions with my family. It is at times difficult being a public figure, not only for me but my family as well. I have decided that a four-year commitment is just too long for me to make at this time. (See story, page 14).

I would like to thank the Township of Langley residents who, on two occasions, elected me to serve as a trustee. I am honoured to have been elected and proud to have been the first Aboriginal person elected to the Langley Board of Education.

I thank my fellow trustees for working together through challenging times when difficult, and at times unpopular, decisions had to be made. I value our relationships and the way that we have been able to come together over the past three and one-half years. We have accomplished a great deal and we will continue to guide this district in a very positive direction.

To all the staff of School District #35, I have to say your work in our district is truly powerful. Through your dedication and expertise

you continue to make a difference for our students every day. Thank you.

I have loved being a trustee and as I reflect over the past few years I will always cherish the many Christmas concerts, graduations, openings of new schools and playgrounds, special assemblies such as the Olympic opening and closing ceremonies, theatre productions and attending many Aboriginal events in so many of our schools. Having the opportunity to be in schools with our students is what I truly loved and will miss.

I also want to thank Mayors Jack Froese and Ted Schaffer along with the many councillors whom I have had the pleasure of getting to know and work with. By working together we do make a difference.

I remember being sworn in for the first time and Chief Marilyn Gabriel from Kwantlen First Nation saying to the board that we now must all paddle in the same canoe and work together. With this decision I will leave others to paddle and guide this district in the direction it needs to go.

All my relations.

TRUSTEE CECELIA REEKIE

Editor: I read (The Times, Aug. 14) to great dismay about the one year of probation that a young man received for attacking two elderly people. He caused broken ribs, among other medical and psychological issues. He was breaking probation at the time, and only gets one year probation?

What is wrong with our society that there isn’t an outcry? What is wrong with our judicial system that someone

gets only one year probation for such a vicious attack? What is wrong with the prosecutor that he/she doesn’t appeal this nonsensical sentence?

It is time criminals receive proper sentences. Otherwise, like this Michael Hartley-Watts, criminals know they can strike whomever and whenever they want, without going to jail.

REMI V., LANGLEY

Attacker should be in prison SENTENC E NOT KEEPING WITH CRIME Editor: Re: Probation given for Douglas Park attack (The Times, Aug. 14).

I don’t know what is more disturbing — this vicious cowardly attack on these defenceless seniors, one of whom is a woman — or the fact this gentleman is well known to police and the court.

What is with sentencing this pillar of

society to one year of probation? Isn’t he already on probation from his last cowardly act?

Let’s just hope this gentleman gets sent to prison, where he belongs, before he kills somebody.

Dragonboat crew off to world championships in Italy Editor: From Fort Langley to the Club Crew World Dragonboat Championships in Ravenna Italy, excitement is mounting as the dragonboat crew Abreast In A Boat — FORT-itude puts on the final polishing touches to their long and strenuous season leading up to the world championships in

Ravenna in early September.

The all-woman crew of 25 from all over the Lower Mainland is one of six crews of the Abreast In A Boat Society, the world’s first breast cancer dragonboat team ( See: www.abreastinaboat.com).

A diagnosis of breast cancer brought

these women, spanning five generations (aged from the 30s to 70s) together in a bond so tight that it can only be explained as “one of the best things that has happened in my life.”

The women work out on and off the water and have really used their “fortitude”

to condition themselves for the upcoming challenge.

FORT-itude won a silver medal in the 2013 national competition, earning them a berth at this international competition.

Annual BBQ moves off the Bypass POPULAR SUMMER EVENT NOW INCLUDES A BAKE-OFF

EXTERIOR PAINTING

FREE Pressure Wash with complete exterior paint

M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

One of the tastiest events of the year is moving off the Bypass.

The ninth annual Well Seasoned BBQ Off The Bypass event returns Sunday, Sept. 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at a brand new location (#117-20353-64 Ave.).

The event is free to the public with live music, unique displays, tasty vendors and delicious barbecue samples.

Angie Quaale, owner of Well Seasoned gourmet food store in Langley, first introduced BBQ On the Bypass in 2005 as a way to unite grilling enthusiasts in a quest for ultimate barbeque, while also exciting the tastebuds of those who haven’t experienced a real barbecue.

“We are really excited about our store’s new location and the move of BBQ on the Bypass to there,” said Quaale.

“There is so much more access to parking and it’s going to be a great barbecue event again this year.”

Each year, thousands come out to taste the slow-cooked, melt-in-yourmouth barbecue.

“We are still the only free barbecue event in North America,” said Quaale.

Dedicated teams from across North America gather to compete for the best smoking good meat in the following five categories: chicken, brisket, ribs, pork butt, and an open choice.

Since 2008, winning teams have qualified to compete in international renowned barbecue competitions, such as the Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational.

This year Kelly and Kathleen McIntosh will serve as the sanctioning represen-

Crowds gathered on a sunny September day in 2012 for the annual BBQ on the Bypass.

This year, competition founder Angie Quaale is moving the event, along with her gourmet food store, to a new location on 64 Avenue. In addition to sampling plenty of tasty barbecue, visitors can now satisfy their sweet tooth at the Great BC Bake-Off. tatives from the Kansas City BBQ Society, who will oversee the judges that select the ultimate winners.

Teams are competing for $5,000 in cash and prizes as well as a chance at an invitation to compete in the Jack Daniel’s World Championship in Lynchburg, Tennessee.

“There’s no doubt this year’s barbecue event will be even more smoking hot than previous years,” said Quaale.

“Having a new location off the Bypass only means one thing: We are now able

to host a full two-day competition and accommodate the fast-growing number of barbecue enthusiasts from all over North America.”

This means competitors can now set up their barbecues and get smoking early on Saturday to allow for that slow cooking and have it ready for competition and the public on Sunday.

For those with a sweet tooth, the annual Great BC Bake-Off will also take place, with three categories of competition: fruit pies, open, and butter tarts.

They are now on sale for 30% off. This is because in October, Treasure Landing becomes Christmas central. Throughout the year there are Christmas items in the store and when I visited, there were ornaments and bubble lights by Joyeux Noel on display. As Christmas approaches more and more seasonal products are added and Susan brings in items from the Krinkles collection as well. If there is an item you are looking for but don’t see, ask Susan, she may be able to order it in for you.

Speaking of collections and collectibles, the story carries lamps and fragrances from the Lampe Berger collection. Lampe Berger are decorative lamps that are used to cleanse and purify the air. Created in 1898, by Pharmacist Maurice Berger in response to a problem of bad smells in hospitals, he designed and patented a special lamp which destroyed the odours associated with illness. Not only functional but beautifully crafted, the lamps by the 1930’s became very popular for private homes and to this day each lamp quickly becomes a collector’s item.

Grandparents who parent

L i l i ann e F ul l e r

Grandparents caring for grandchildren isn’t something new. In fact grandparents have done so since the beginning of time. In more modern times, grandparents became caregivers because of the untimely death of the child’s parents. Unfortunately, in today’s world it has become more prevalent for grandparents to raise their children’s children because of the issues of divorce, drug addiction or mental health issues. These are stories about some of Langley’s heroes, grandparents raising grandchildren.* When Dawn and Edward received a phone call from Social Services telling them that their two year old grandson had been picked up by police after being found wandering on the street, they were shocked and in disbelief. How could this have happened? Unbeknownst to them, their daughter who had been dabbling in drugs had developed a full blown addiction and could no longer parent her child. They were given a choice: Either the child would go into foster care or they could care for him themselves. For Dawn and Edward, the choice was obvious, Hayden would come to live with them.

Dawn and Edward were young to be grandparents. She was 41 and Edward was 49. Both had demanding jobs in the workforce so their lives had to be

Sto ck Pho to

completely rearranged to accommodate this major change.

Daycare was an option and they had the support of their extended family as well. But this change meant putting on hold any plans of going on holidays or pursuing hobbies; their time off was spent parenting the little boy.

Grace and Terry also received a similar phone call. But in their case this call came five different times. Grace and Terry have custody of four of their grandchildren and their nephew has custody of the fifth one. Another baby is on the way. Their daughter, Marie started using crystal meth at the age of 14 and is still

drug addicted. Now at 27, she continues to have babies. The first call they received was from the hospital. Their daughter had just given birth to a baby boy and there were some ‘issues’. It was determined that his mother had been doing drugs throughout her pregnancy and now having delivered the child, wanted to leave the hospital. Grace and Terry were asked to come collect the baby or someone from Social Services would.

In Lana and Tom’s case they provide daycare for their two grandsons three days a week.

Because of an acrimonious divorce daycare isn’t an option and child care is split between

the two families. The parents work long hours meaning extra long days for the grandparents who are in their senior years.

In some cases where a grandparent isn’t available other family members are called upon to provide care. In Julia’s case, she is the children’s aunt. Six years ago Julia received a call from her niece telling her that she had given birth and asked if Julia come to the hospital.

She agreed, but by the time she arrived, the children, a pair of twin boys had been transferred to Children’s Hospital. They were premature, drug exposed and needed special care. The children remained in hospital and then were placed into foster care. Julia kept in close touch and when the children were seven months old they were released into her care and she started the long and arduous process to adopt them. Since then her niece has had another baby, a girl this time. Julia is the process of adopting this child as well. The children are special needs and at least one of them has been diagnosed with autism.

When asked how she copes she smiled and said, “With the end of every day, as the little ones are finally asleep, hopefully for the night, I put the day behind me, knowing that I did the best I could, and that tomorrow continued on next page

is another day. Sometimes after a very long day, I lay down and feel really scared about what the future holds and I need something to cling to. I take a cross off my wall and whisper my fears. I go to sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and ready for another day.” Though her days are stressful, Julia says she gets a feeling of comfort seeing the children under her care.”When I see them, asleep, so peaceful, I think to myself, they are beautiful; they are safe; they are mine,” she added.

Grace and Terry have full custody of their grandchildren but they have decided not to formally adopt them. They continue to have hope that someday Marie will want and get the treatment she needs to grow up and look after her children. But until then Grace says she will care for the four boys who are all under the age of nine and have medical and behavioral issues.”We have a routine and we have good days and not so good days. I try to do things with them that any parent

would do. I feel that God has laid this on me and I believe there is a reason for all this,” said Grace.

“And I still have hope for Marie’s future,” she added.

This isn’t an idle hope as is evidenced in the case of Dawn and Edward. Soon after they took custody of their grandson, their daughter went into treatment.

They attribute the help and encouragement they received from family and friends as being mainstays in being able to cope.

They also received help from the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD). They were directed to Parents Support Services Society of BC, a nonprofit organization that provides a program called ‘Grandparents Raising Grandchildren’ (GRG).

This program is partially funded by the MCFD and offers grandparents support circles where people in the same situation can meet and talk. Grace is aware of this program and has tried it but attributes her moral support to taking to a good friend who is in the same situation as she is.

RETIREMENT. LIVING! In an email Executive Director of the Parents Support Society of BC Carol Ross explained more about the GRG Program. She said, “In addition to the Grandparents Support Circles, in February 2012 Parent Support Services Society launched a province wide ‘Support Line’ for grandparents and other family members raising children. This support line is funded by the MCFD and it’s the only one of its kind in Canada.

We have trained advocates who assist callers learn about their rights and responsibilities. As well they can be guided through complex systems such as child protection, family court, health and education.�

Dawn and Edward’s daughter relapsed a year later but went back into treatment. She now has eleven clean and sober years under her belt and continues to raise her son who is now 15. The family, while always being close knit, grew much closer as a result of what happened to them.

Lana, when told about the other grandparents commented,

“The next time, I feel tempted to complain about some of the long days we daycare our boys, I am going count my blessings and think about Julia, Dawn and Grace. These people truly are the unsung heroes in our community today.� she added.

Langley’s leading man AT 19, RUSTIN GRESIUK HAS LANDED HIS FIRST LEAD ROLE IN A FEATURE FILM FOR UPTV ALYSSA O’DELL Times Reporter

After seven years of dedication to his chosen career a young Langley actor has landed his first lead role in a movie, opposite two industry veterans, well-known for their roles in American drama television.

Rustin Gresiuk, who is 19 years old, plays teenager Thomas Brandt in the upcoming adaptation of country singer Jimmy Wayne’s book, Paper Angels.

The movie also stars Matthew Settle of Gossip Girl fame and Josie Bissett, who is best known for her roles on Melrose Place and Secret Life of the American Teenager.

Paper Angels is set to debut this winter on the American UPtv network, formerly the Gospel Music Channel.

“I kind of grew up watching those shows ... and you would never think that you would be working with those actors,” said Gresiuk.

Gresiuk spoke to The Times on set during the last week of the production’s filming in Maple Ridge at the Maple Ridge Baptist Church at the end of July.

Filming also took place in Langley the week before.

“Sometime’s we’d be doing a scene and I’d just have to do a double take,” said Gresiuk of the opportunity to work with such actors as Settle and Bissett. He said the more experienced cast members have been happy to provide him with input and tips, which he described as invaluable.

Paper Angels, directed by David Winning, takes place during the Christmas season, and tells the story of how the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program helps bring together two families through a simple expression of kindness.

According to Gresiuk, the story — which includes themes of faith — resonated strongly.

“It really hit home and really hit my heart,” said Gresiuk, adding that his own faith is largely responsible for keeping him grounded through his busy schedule.

Gresiuk said the experience

s u bmitte d pho to

Paper Angels actors Rustin Gresiuk, Josie Bissett and Anja Savcic (back to camera) on set in Langley. The UPtv film marks Gresiuk’s first lead role. has been “a big learning curve,” and that the most challenging part so far has been the long days and heavy memorization — six to nine pages of script are shot each day — required of lead role actors.

“Being a lead, you’re working every single day. You’re in every single scene,” he said, noting that some days he won’t get home from set until two in the morning, with script pages still left to prepare for the next day of filming.

“I just learned you just kind of take a step back ... don’t look on

what you all have to get done, just look [at] what you have to get done for that day, for that scene, and then move on from there. I find that really helped me get a good pace.”

Gresiuk said he averages two auditions per week and before Paper Angels, appeared in a sequel to the movie Flicka as well as an episode of the television show Fringe, and has plenty of other projects he’d like to chase next.

He recently wrapped production on a television pilot for Canada’s YTV network, called ReBoot

the Guardian Code.

Gresiuk will find out this month whether the show is picked up and if it is, it will be another lead role to add to his credits.

Growing up in “Hollywood North” has given the young actor an advantage in landing roles like this, he said, as there are a large number of casting directors working in the Lower Mainland with plenty of new projects always coming through their offices.

However, it’s a small community compared to its southern counterpart.

“Everyone knows kind of everyone ... I’m going to stay here as long as it allows me,” he said, adding that he has had friends move to Los Angeles to pursue acting, only to land a role in something that is being produced back home in Canada.

Although Gresiuk said he will travel where the work takes him, he’s been excited to see the success of the B.C. industry over the last several years.

“One thing that you really do notice is how much the film industry really does support the economy in B.C.”

Gold medal still hasn’t sunk in for Borrowdale GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

L OUISE HARRISON Subm itted Ph oto

Langley’s Chelsea Borrowdale (left) and Joel Harrison both won gold medals in their respective events over the weekend at the Legion national youth track and field championships at McLeod Athletic Park. Borrowdale was tops in the 1500m steeplechase while Harrison won in the pentathlon.

The day after winning a gold medal at the Canadian Legion youth track and field championships, and it still hadn’t really sunk in for Chelsea Borrowdale.

“Even after a day, it still hasn’t hit me that I am first in Canada, a national champion,” marveled the 15-year-old.

“It was my ultimate goal to win at nationals and to do so, it is really cool.”

Borrowdale took top spot in the midget (15 and under) girls 1500m steeplechase event at the Legion championships, which for the second straight year were held at Langley’s McLeod Athletic Park.

The three-day meet ran from Friday to Sunday, and Borrowdale won her event on the final day.

“At first, I was going in for a best time, but before the race, I really did want to win gold,” she admitted.

“I was just getting so nervous so I didn’t want to think about it too much.

“But the ultimate goal was to come first.”

Not a member of any track and field club — or selected for Team B.C. — Borrowdale was representing the Walnut Grove

Gators. She is entering Grade 10 at the school.

While Borrowdale did manage to accomplish one goal — a gold medal — she came up short in the other, setting a personal best.

She won her race in a time of 5:10.10, more than two seconds ahead of Anne-Frederik Drolet (5:12.83).

“I was ahead for most of the race, so I was pretty confident I was going to win,” Borrowdale said. “(But) I did have that paranoia where I thought I heard footsteps.”

Borrowdale’s time was just a shade behind when she crossed the finish line in 5:10.08 at the B.C. high school provincial track and field championships back in the end of May. She won silver in that race, as well as in the 3000m event. Both of those were against senior (Grade 11/12) competition.

“The conditions (on Sunday) were pretty harsh, so it was hard,” Borrowdale said.

“It was a little bit hot and humid.”

Even more impressive is the fact this is her first year in track and field and she picked up the steeplechase event for fun.

She said she had to give big

thanks to Don Sparks, one of her coaches at Walnut Grove. He has coached her since Grade 8.

“I could not have done any of this without my coach,” she said.

“He has been really vital in my running experiences and played a huge part in my success.”

Borrowdale also runs cross-country for the Gators — she finished second at the provincial championships in 2013 — and she is aiming to make Team B.C. in the fall.

She is also an accomplished competitive swimmer with the Langley Olympians Swim Club and won a silver medal in one of her events at nationals last year.

And it is her swimming background that plays a huge role.

“Her fitness from swimming is a big part of her success,” Sparks said.

“She has a very strong engine from swimming and she is extremely competitive: she just won’t quit.

“I don’t know if her motivation is wanting to win or hating to lose.”

Borrowdale’s long-term goal remains to secure a post-secondary scholarship, although she is not sure if it will be in swimming, cross-country or track.

Head coach Jeff Alamolhoda knows the feeling when it seems like every time the other team touches the ball, they score.

“I have been on the other end when it seems like every time they handed the ball of to a running back, they scored,” said the head coach of the Langley Rams.

“This absolutely feels better.”

He was referring to his team’s absolute demolition of the host Westshore Rebels, who were the unfortunate recipient of a 75-16 beat-down at the hands of the Rams on Saturday afternoon at Victoria’s Westhills Stadium.

Rams quarterback Dylan Tucker carved up the Westshore defence, completing all 10 passes he attempted — half of which went for touchdowns — and 352 yards in the first half.

He also scored on a one-yard quarterback keeper.

The win improved Langley to 3-0 in the B.C. Junior Football League.

Malcolm Williams was the main recipient with five catch-

es for 152 yards and three touchdowns while Daniel English had two touchdowns on three catches for 132 yards.

Tucker, making just his third start at the junior level, impressed his coach, who couldn’t recall ever watching a quarterback complete all of his pass attempts and for that many yards.

“It was pretty special even against a young team, a team that maybe wasn’t quite as ready for as tough a fight as they were going to get,” Alamolhoda said.

The rest of the offence came via the return game with John Beckerleg finding the end zone three times (a 105-yard kickoff return and punt returns of 90 and 50 yards) and Nathan Lund taking a kickoff back 105 yards.

Lund’s score was proceeded by the Rebels scoring a touchdown — quarterback Hunter Lake connected with Nick Spindor from 30 yards out — in the first quarter, which briefly gave them a 7-6 lead.

Steve Thomas made nine of 10 convert attempts and also had a field goal and an 85-yard kickoff single.

But from that point on, it was a one-sided Rams victory.

The Rebels added a late touchdown, Lake to Josh Beauchamp from five yards.

Shaiheem Charles-Brown sacked the quarterback twice while Clovis Lumeka led the team with four tackles.

Beckerleg had the lone turnover, an interception.

The return touchdowns pleased the coach who said the team talked about improving that aspect of their game.

“We talked about special teams and how they could be better,” Alamolhoda said.

“And practice paid off in this case as we were able to make essential blocks.”

The coach said the film afterward showed all 11 players on the field blocking for the return game, and more importantly, continuing to finish their blocks while the play developed.

Next up for Langley is another road game on Saturday in Nanaimo against the VI Raiders (1-3).

The team’s next home game is Aug. 31 at McLeod Athletic Park when they welcome the 3-0 Kamloops Broncos to town.

Harrison a very well-rounded athlete From Page 26

“So this year, I was focused on composing myself and doing my best throughout the competition.

“It is a national championship and you just have to be ready for everything and ready to go out there.”

An event like the pentathlon suits someone like Harrison perfectly, says his dad Kevin, who also doubles as his coach.

“Joel is a naturally gifted athlete,” Kevin Harrison said. “He is able to learn quickly in terms of whatever sport he is doing.”

He developed his athleticism at a young age through track and field and he was drawn to the pentathlon because it offered up the best of all the sport: running, jumping and throwing.

“When I was young, you got to do all the different events at the track meet and have a lot of fun,” he explained.

“Now the pentathlon allows me to do five very different events and still have a chance to win.”

In addition to track and field — which Harrison has done since he was about nine — he is also a high-level soccer player. Most re-

cently, he was a member of the Surrey United U16 team in the B.C. High Performance League.

He also took up organized basketball just a few years ago, and this past season, was named the top defensive player at the B.C. high school junior boys basketball championships for the Walnut Grove Gators.

Harrison also won silver for Walnut Grove last year in the junior boys division at the B.C. high school cross-country championships.

He is set to enter Grade 10 at Walnut Grove Secondary when school resumes.

His busy schedule also meant Harrison didn’t begin seriously training for the pentathlon until about three weeks ago.

And that’s where his versatility and general athleticism come in handy.

“Although he hasn’t trained a lot, he has a good (athletic) base,” Kevin Harrison said.

What also helps is the fact he is coachable and competitive.

“In the heat of the battle, Joel is able to take pointers and execute them quite well,” he said.

“And he responds to pressure and competition; that has been his way.

Silver for Ogbeiwi at Hershey meet

J A M E S INGLIS Langley Time s

A competitor (above) goes up and over the high bar during the Legion national youth track and field championships at McLeod Athletic Park over the weekend; Langley Mustangs Nathan King competes in the midget 200m event.

Dozen medals for local athletes Langley athletes combined to win a dozen medals at the Legion youth national track and field championships over the weekend at McLeod Athletic Park.

In addition to a pair of gold medals won

by Joel Harrison in the pentathlon and Chelsea Borrowdale in the 1500m steeplechase (see page 26), local athletes also won five silver and five bronze medals.

Lauryn Cheung got things going on the first day (Friday) with a bronze medal in the midget girls pole vault, clearing 3.00m.

Saturday saw Megan Champoux, Dean Ellenwood, Teagan Rasche and Jordan Ellingson win individual medals, while Hannah Morrison was on the Team B.C. relay team which took third in the midget 4x100 with a time of 50.57.

Champoux won silver in the midget girls 200m hurdles (27.29) while Rasche and Ellingson won silver in the javelin.

Champoux threw 43.38m in the midget girls competition, Rasche’s throw of 43.38m was second in the

youth women’s division; and Ellingson’s throw of 53.72m was second in the youth men’s division.

And Ellenwood won bronze in the midget boys 400m race with a time of 49.35.

It was the first of two medals for Ellenwood who won silver on Sunday in the 800m event (1:52.50).

Nickolas Colyn also won silver in the youth men’s 2000m steeplechase with a time of 5:49.28, just a fraction behind the gold-medal time of 5:49.14.

Tanika Dolfo and Rasche both won bronze in the hammer throw.

Dolfo threw 46.59m in the midget girls division and Rasche threw 55.65m in the youth

women’s division.

Colyn, Morrison, Dolfo and Cheung all represented Team B.C. at the meet.

They normally train with the Mustangs track and field club.

The other local athletes all represented the Mustangs while Borrowdale competed for the Walnut Grove Gators.

Adanacs take lead in Minto Cup Langley’s James Rahe had a hat trick in game two of the Minto Cup, giving the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs a 2-0 lead in the Minto Cup. The best-of-seven Canadian junior A national championship is being played at the Langley Events Centre between the Ad-

anacs and Ontario’s Six Nations Arrows.

The Adanacs won game one on Saturday 7-6 and then took game two the following night by an 11-6 score.

The series resumes tonight (Tuesday) with game four set for Wednesday night. Both be-

gin at 8 p.m.

If necessary, game five would be Thursday night.
