Neighbourhood ‘perfect storm’ for crime EXPERT SAYS CLUSTER OF SOCIAL SERVICES IN CITY IS CREATING ‘STREET STRESS’ MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

It’s being called ‘the perfect storm.’ In a two-block radius in downtown Langley City, there is a clustering of all major social services helping the down-and-out. It is creating challenges and stresses for such a small city. With welfare, parole, probation, social service agencies of both provincial and local governments, faith-based services, drug rehabilitation, the bus loop right beside an at-risk youth centre, it has created “street stress,” said Greg Perkins of Liahona Security Consortium Inc. who took the newly-formed Community Crime Prevention Task Force on a walking tour of downtown Langley hot spots on Friday. Perkins is a former Ontario police officer who now specializes in Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). More than a dozen members of the Task Force, chaired by Mayor Ted Schaffer, met for the first time, to see with their own eyes the challenges Langley City faces when it comes to crime and preventing it. Perkins, who has consulted in problem areas like Whalley and Newton, said Langley City is three years into a 10-year tipping point. Once you go over that tipping point, your streets have descended into chaos and the difficulties of getting that com-

He pointed to Whalley many years ago, when it had hit the tipping point. “We studied Whalley and at that point there were 10,000 calls for police service in six months. That is too overwhelming for any police agency to handle,” Perkins said. But the expert on CPTED

said social and criminal problems can’t be fixed with enforcement alone. “It has to be a community effort,” he said. That includes businesses making an effort too, in the look and design of their buildings. He said the key marker is families. “You want families shopping, visiting your down-

town. If they don’t feel safe, they just won’t come,” he said. He pointed to the large amount of fringe businesses concentrated in the downtown, from cheque cashing, pawn and sex shops, vapour and drug paraphernalia shops to the number of pharmacies. “You guys have 13 methadone dispensaries in a

one-quarter km radius. I would ask why there is so many?” Perkins said. To that end, the City is revisiting that situation soon, said Schaffer. It was pointed out that when the City put in a bylaw limiting cheque cashing businesses, they culled themselves. The City went from 13 down to just three. Perkins said the fringe

businesses in themselves are legitimate, but it is the clientele they bring in that create an ebb and flow of problems. In touring the bus loop, with its backdrop of empty storefronts, he said it appears “as an island on its own” with no connection to the businesses or environment around it. He added that he would not want to get off a bus at the Logan Avenue bus loop. The group was taken into the back parking lot behind St. Joseph’s Church where homeless people have come for years to the soup kitchen. But some have also have been known to hang around there, setting up pop-up tent cities and leaving their shopping carts behind. The front of the church had to be gated because some homeless people were defecating near the entrance. It was learned that several businesses in the downtown have gotten rid of or are considering getting rid of the awnings because homeless have been using them for shelter. Business owners continue to have to clean up feces. The City has also developed a homelessness task force to address the growing issue. City manager Francis Cheung said the City is being very careful not to push hard against those living on the streets, being mindful of what has happened in Abbotsford. Continued Page 5

Trial date set for first of four home invasion suspects MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

A trial date has been set for one of the four people arrested in connection to a violent home invasion that took place in a man’s Langley City apartment on Sept. 8, 2014. Andreas Bronk, 24, was in Surrey Provincial Court on Tuesday, Feb. 24 to start a trial for another break-in he is accused of in

Langley in July 2014 . His trial for the home invasion will begin April 20. Seven days have been set aside for the trial. He is charged with break and enter and assault with a weapon. He has been in custody for some time. He is also facing charges of kidnapping in connection with the repeated sexual assaults and confinement of a woman

who was kept in a home in Brookswood last May. Clear video surveillance of the suspects entering the victim’s apartment building were distributed to the media to solicit the public’s assistance with their identification. “The response from the public in this case was outstanding,” said Insp. Murray Power, officer in charge of the Langley RCMP at the time of the arrests.

The Times posted the story on its Facebook page and there was tremendous interest in it. It was shared 202 times, with 23,824 people viewing the pictures. It was around 3:15 a.m. on Sept. 8, when the victim responded to a knock at his door and opened it to a young woman. When the door opened, three men forced themselves into the apartment.

GRAND OPENING!

ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM FOOT PAIN? NEW AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS AVAILABLE FOR PLANTAR FASCIITIS AND CHRONIC HEEL PAIN!

ShockWave Therapy in Orthopedics has been clinically researched and proven in journals such as American Journal of Sports Medicine, Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, Foot & Ankle International, American Journal of Orthopedics, Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research and more!

Shock waves are high-energy acoustic (sound) waves that are used to penetrate the skin to treat an injured area in the body. There is a high release of energy at the soft tissue/bone interface. The release of energy from the shock waves within the region of the affected tissues and the resultant compression and tension of cells creates a positive physiological effect. Mechano-transduction is the physiological effect thought to be responsible for stimulating normal and injured cells to produce healing factors.

ShockWave Therapy involves using a hand-held probe to focus shock waves on the affected tissue and surrounding healthy tissue to induce a physiological response that will initiate healing. It is important to accurately define the treatment area through appropriate diagnostics. We do that through taking in the patient’s concise pain history, palpation, x-rays, ultrasound, MRI etc. This ensures the most effective delivery of shock waves into the affected region. When applied to the skin, it allows an increased blood supply to the treated area by stimulation of neovascularization and growth factors. Other benefits of ShockWave Therapy include: • Facilitates resorption of calcifications • Re-initiates stagnant healing processes in chronic injuries in tendons and ligaments • Decreases inflammatory processes • Stimulates migration (differentiation) • Stimulates osteoclasts and fibroblasts to rebuild injured tissues of stem cells

More than 80% of patients report improvement after the first treatment of the program. Most studies report a full healing rate of 65-85% after completion of the treatment program.

Treatments may be covered under extended health benefits provided by ICBC, Blue Cross, Great-West Life, Sun Life, Manulife, RCMP/Veterans Affairs and GreenShield coverages.

Upset mom appeals to police complaint commissioner ASKS FOR ANOTHER REVIEW OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF ANDREW LEDUC’S DEATH MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The mother of a Langley man run over and killed by a Surrey RCMP-hired consultant in 2013 has filed a complaint with the Police Complaint Commissioner. Dianne Murrell, mother of Andrew Leduc, has written to complaints commissioner Stan Lowe asking for him to review the case again after the driver was cleared of any wrongdoing both by Lowe and by Surrey RCMP major crimes. “We need and deserve closure so we can mourn Andrew in the proper way and so we can get rid of our anger of that horrible day,” writes Murrell in her letter to Lowe. She tells Lowe that she would have written sooner but no one in her family has been sleeping well and the year has been a very hard one for the whole family. The family of Andrew Leduc had spent almost an entire year waiting for justice, after the father of three was run over and killed by a semi bobtail truck driven by a Surrey RCMP consultant at 3 a.m., Aug. 7, 2013 in the 19500 block of the Langley Bypass. But justice did not come for Andrew, said his brother Adam at the time, after hearing police weren’t recommending charges. Surrey RCMP Major Crimes said after a “comprehensive and thorough eight-month investigation, Surrey RCMP tentatively found that no criminality existed on the part of the driver involved in this collision.” Police said the RCMP consultant driving the semi didn’t know he had hit and killed anyone until later, when he saw some troubling evidence on the truck. At the time of the decision, Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr said the consultant’s cellphone battery had died so he went home and within a few hours after the crash, he called police about what happened. “He didn’t alter evidence, he was co-opera-

“Which was at the least obstruction [of justice],” she adds. “Then he goes and gets a coffee, gets home and phones the RCMP at 6:05 a.m.,” she writes about the hours the accused took to call police. Leduc’s family don’t know why Andrew was walking along the Bypass so late at night. They recognize he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but they don’t think that should have cost him his life, said his mother. The family has been grieving and in anguish since Andrew’s death. He leaves behind three children, twin sisters, a brother, many other family and friends. Murrell tells Lowe that they have suffered greatly since the loss of Andrew but to see no charges against the driver who hit him, “it was like Andrew died all over again.” “The system that I told my children to believe in, let this family down big time,” she said. The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner provides “impartial civilian oversight of C o ntribu te d pho to complaints by the public involving municipal police.” Andrew Leduc, shown with two family members, was hit and killed on Langley Bypass on Aug. 7, 2013 by The deputy complaints coma truck driven by a Surrey RCMP consultant.

Alert truck owners spot thieves inside their vehicles

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

Two owners of Ford F350 trucks managed to help stop thieves from taking their vehicles in north Langley over the weekend. Police were called around 4 a.m. on Sunday when a resident caught a man breaking into his Ford F350, which was parked in his driveway in a north Langley neighbourhood. The truck owner was alerted by the vehicle alarm and caught the suspect as he ex-

ited the truck through the passenger side door. He was able to restrain the would-bethief with the help of his son and a neighbour until police arrived. The vehicle’s driver side door lock sustained damage that will require repair. Police arrived a short time later and took the 36-year-old Langley male into custody. He was released later that morning to appear in Surrey Provincial Court in May. On Saturday, another north Langley resident watched his Ford F350 being sto-

len from a Walnut Gate parking lot while shopping in a store. The owner saw it drive away, said police. The following day, just prior to 2:30 p.m., he called police again to report his truck was parked at the Chevron in Walnut Grove. The vehicle is distinctive in that it has business decals on the side panels. The truck was running, however its height made it difficult to see if anyone was inside. Officers attending were able to box the

vehicle in so it couldn’t flee if someone was inside, said Cpl. Holly Marks. Additionally, police dog services attended to assist with the arrest. One of the officers approached the truck and could see a man who appeared to be sleeping in the driver’s seat. The door was opened and a 26-year-old man was arrested. Charges will be recommended to Crown counsel for the man, who has no fixed address. He was held in custody overnight and appeared in court on Monday.

Have an unwanted pregnant cat or litter of kittens? Langley’s animal shelter wants them, no questions asked. For the second year, the Patti Dale animal shelter is hosting its kitten round up this Saturday. Langley Animal Protection Society hosts this event to prevent dozens of kittens from being dumped on the streets, breeding and creating more kittens. The shelter has lined up enough foster families willing to take in the kittens or pregnant or nursing cats dropped off to the shelter. If you can’t make it to the shelter, they will come to you. Just text 604-332-4449. Organizers of the event say there are around 22,000 feral and abandoned cats in Langley. Kittens can be pregnant as young as four months old. At last year’s event, 28 kittens, five nursing moms and one pregnant cat were turned in. Ten kittens from two different litters were put in a cardboard box, taped shut and left to die in the hot sun, abandoned at a Langley City dumpster in the beginning of July.

Vancouver homeless moving to Langley From Page 1

There the City took an offensive approach and created an issue of entrenchment, with the homeless creating their own tent city. “It’s a delicate balance we must strike,” said Cheung. Two Langley RCMP officers whose beat is the downtown core are on the committee. They’ve noticed, as have service providers, that more and more homeless people from the Downtown Eastside are choosing to move out to areas like Langley City, where they don’t have to fight for services and its safer. While touring near the 7-Eleven, at 203 Street and Douglas Crescent, a man stole some chocolate bars from the store and a police officer on the tour tried to track him down. He had been confrontational in the store, police heard. From there, Schaffer shared a four-inch thick booklet the store keeps of six months worth of pictures of people who have either stolen or created a disturbance at the store. He said it is frustrating and scary for staff to deal with on an ongoing basis, but it is one of the few stores open 24 hours a day. The area outside the convenience store has been a hot spot for more than a decade for prostitution, drug dealing and serious violence, including a Good Samaritan being beaten in the head with a hammer by two assailants who were never caught a few months ago. The store has made many efforts, including playing French music to deter loitering. Cheung said Langley City, at 6.9 per cent, has the third highest percentage of rental units in Metro Vancouver, with only Vancouver and Burnaby having more. The City has no intentions of dissuading that type of housing because it provides affordable living for many, but it does pose challenges of transient residents and lack of community ownership.

Victim struck in the face multiple times From Page 1

The victim was ordered to be quiet and instructed to sit in a chair, said police. One of the suspects struck the victim several times, leaving a mark and swelling on his face. The victim was held at knifepoint while the remaining suspects rummaged through his apartment. A number of items were taken, including a Blackberry Playbook, two laptops, the victim’s wallet, several wristwatches and two Masonic rings. Also charged was Georgia Krenus, 18, of Langley. She pleaded guilty to assault with a weapon and being in a home unlawfully. She is expected to be sentenced March 23. Mauricio Avila, 22, of Langley, goes to trial for the same charges April 20. He also faces a charge of taking a vehicle without consent in connection to the Sept. 8 home invasion.

Grade 6 students in a class taught by Rosalind Cloutier at Yorkson Middle School took part in field studies along the banks of Yorkson Creek on Feb. 19, as part of a new GREEN program.

GREEN comes to Langley Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS) has partnered with Earth Force and General Motors Canada to launch General Motors Global Rivers Environmental Education Network (GREEN). It is a unique environmental education program that is one of a kind in B.C. “Students had the opportunity to conduct field studies on Yorkson Creek, which flows through Willoughby and Walnut Grove, and learn the scientific process of water quality testing and aquatic insect identification, as well as the opportunity to work to create solutions to water quality issues that are significant here,” said Sarah Atherton, interim executive director, LEPS. For the past 25 years, GREEN has engaged young people as active citizens who improve conditions in their watersheds now and in the future. Dr. William Stapp of the University of Michigan founded the GREEN program in 1984. What began as a group of graduate students seeking a way to investigate cases of individuals who had contracted hepatitis from the Huron River grew to a broad network of citizens working to address the issues and threats facing their local water resources. With the addition of support from

General Motors in 1989 and Earth Force in 1999, the program grew to include all GM facility communities across the U.S. This evolution introduced a critical collaborative model that has since informed all of the work at Earth Force. Locally-based organizations, mentors from General Motors, and Earth Force come together to support young people in learning more about the watersheds they live in and using their findings to create lasting solutions to pressing water quality issues. Since then, Earth Force has developed GM GREEN collaboratives in 26 communities throughout the U.S., engaging over 150,000 young people as environmental leaders. In 2014 the GREEN program expanded into seven new communities in Canada, deepening programming in one existing community, Oshawa. General Motors operates a regional office and parts warehouse in Langley, in Gloucester Industrial Park. Three classes of students in Grades 6 and 8 at Yorkson Middle School will participate in the GREEN program and learn about water quality issues in Langley. They had the opportunity to do some field study on Wednesday, Feb. 18.

Harry and Lauretta Ellens of Nakusp checked out the new Ellens Park in Willoughby with Township Mayor Jack Froese and Willoughby historian Alice Johnson. The Ellens family were longtime Willoughby residents.

Ellens Park tribute to early family

FRAN K B U CH O LT Z Ti m e s Re po r t e r

As elements of Willoughby’s history disappear with the rapid urbanization of the area, the area’s past is getting a small but permanent reprieve with the dedication of Ellens Park at 76A Avenue and 211A Street. The park is named after the pioneering Ellens family, who lived not far away on 208 Street for close to 50 years. Kathleen (Straw) Ellens came to Willoughby in 1920 with her family when she was six years old. She grew up in the area. The Straw family farm was located south of the freeway, just west of where the current 208 Street overpass crosses Highway 1. She attended West Langley Elementary and Langley High School. She received a teaching certificate from the Vancouver Normal School and then taught at West Langley Elementary from 1935 to 1937, when she married John Ellens. John was born in 1905 in Zandvoort in the province of North

Holland in the Netherlands. He came to Canada in 1929, initially settling in the Okanagan valley, where he worked at the federal agricultural research station in Summerland. Later that year, he moved to Vancouver. In 1931, he purchased 6.5 acres on Alexander Road (now 208 Street) in Willoughby. It was located just to the south of the present Willoughby Elementary School. Initially, he continued to work and live in Vancouver as a landscape designer and gardener. He came to Willoughby on weekends to develop his property into a commercial bulb raising and marketing operation. In 1935, he moved permanently to Willoughby as his business had developed. He married Kathleen two years later. Their son Harry was born in 1938 and second son William (Bill) was born in 1942. The Ellens’ operated their commercial horticulture and landscaping design and maintenance business until the late

1950s. John then accepted a position to develop and maintain the grounds at the new Fort Langley National Historic Site. He retired from that position in 1969, and lived in Langley until his death in 1990. Kathleen worked with John in the business after their marriage. She was also quite involved in the community. She worked as a librarian, acted as a returning officer in local, provincial and federal elections, and was active in Willoughbny United Church. The church building has now been moved and restored as part of the Yorkson Creek development on 208 Street. She passed away in 1976. Son Harry now lives in Nakusp and Bill lives in Salmon Arm. Harry and his wife Lauretta were in Langley on Feb. 19 to see the new park, which contains mature trees, a picnic area and playground. Meeting them there were Mayor Jack Froese and Willoughby historian Alice Johnson.

Thinking of future

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

Langley Township has come up with an ambitious program to vastly expand cycling routes over the next 50 years. This is exciting and exceptionally forward-thinking. There is no doubt that cycling can be a viable alternative to car travel in this area, where weather is mild for most of the year. B.C. residents are among the most physically active in Canada, and having more cycle routes offers more opportunities to stay active. The plan calls for adding 360 kilometres of on-street cycling lanes to the existing 64, and also adding 160 kilometres of off-street cycling lanes. It would be worthwhile to look more closely at the offstreet plans, and see if that projected number could be expanded significantly. Off-street cycling trails minimize the chances of crashes involving cyclists and vehicles — crashes that usually do not work out well for those using two wheels. Langley Township already has some very good off-street cycling trails in Walnut Grove and Willoughby. In the case of the South Langley regional trail, it has one that combines both on-street and off-street. The South Langley trail is a good example of a trail which can offer a significant alternative to a busy street, in its case 16 Avenue. It cuts across the municipality but there are almost no conflicts between cyclists and vehicle traffic. In addition, most of the route has a slight grade. It’s good the Township is making cycling a higher priority.

The release of campaign financing information can shed light on where candidates draw their support. Three months after the municipal election, isn’t that a little late? There were few alarming revelations in the disclosure statements released last week regarding the dozens of candidates who ran for various council positions in the Parksville-Qualicum Beach region. One that caught our attention was not salacious or controversial. The vast majority of candidates used their own money to fund their campaigns. So, that means they not only welcomed the scrutiny and a certain level of frustration, they paid for the right to enjoy it. As we have written here before, we salute all of the people who had the courage to put their names on ballots in Parksville and Qualicum Beach. The most controversial, or interesting, news out of the disclosure statements came from Parksville, where we learned now-Councillor Kirk Oates got 99 per cent of his $4,600 campaign war chest from unions. The $4,550 Oates received from CUPE and other labour organizations was many times more than all the candidates in all races in the region received from unions — combined. To his credit, Oates isn’t defensive or evasive about the support. He told us he understands the perception this creates but he believes his record, at the end of the term, will show his ability to do the job he was elected to do was not affected by his union affiliations. The question really is this: should voters have known more about Oates’ strong ties to labour before they went to the polls? Oates works for CUPE and never hid that fact during the campaign. It never really came up in public forums. Would it have been an issue for voters if they knew Oates’ campaign was being 99 per cent funded by unions? Tough to say, but this region is not exactly a labour stronghold if one considers the results of recent provincial and federal elections relevant. Early indications suggest Oates will be a strong councillor. Or at least one who will spice things up in often dry council meetings. He is seeking a legal opinion about his future participation in council discussions related to union staff at city hall. As he readily admits, the perception of conflict can trump the reality of conflict. Oates is organized labour’s voice on city council. They helped put him there. That is both the perception and reality. — Parksville-Qualicum Beach News

Guide not needed Editor: Recently households in Langley received a “Tax Guide” from our Conservative government MP — Mark Warawa. The words “Our Conservative Government” appear 28 times in the 15-page booklet, more than once per page. How much did it cost the Conservative government to produce and send out this wee bit of “Our Conservative Government” self-promotion, disguised as a tax guide? Did other MPs in “Our Conservative Government” send these out too? If so, how much did “Our Conservative Government” spend in total to do so? Is the honourable member from “Our Conservative Government” aware that virtually all of the information he and the government have provided is from the tax guide available for pick up at all Canada Post offices, if you no longer receive it with an income tax form in the mail. That guide and, even more so, the searchable guide available at www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ are of far more use. The Conservative government might be interested to know that my tax forms, like those paid by plenty of Canadians, are already done and in, using both an online tax tool and the excellent guide found at the CRA website. Both are far more useful and easy to use than this one provided at our cost by “Our Conservative Government.” R.L. READ, LANGLEY

Thrift store moves Editor: The Penny Pincher Thrift Store, which is operated totally by volunteers of the Langley Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, would like to thank their faithful supporters that have followed us to our new store of 20550 Fraser Highway. We would like the public to know that the thrift store operating in our old location on 56 Avenue is not connected with our auxiliary in any way. We want to remind the public that 100 per cent of our proceeds goes the Langley Hospital. Last year, the auxiliary donated $ 430,000 to our hospital. We are accepting donations at our new location from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Store opening is pending our renovations. Thank you Langley, for your continuing support DIANE THORNTON, ON BEHALF OF PENNY PINCHER THRIFT STORE VOLUNTEERS

Public to private Editor: Governments, at the behest of big business, are converting public enterprises to private. TransLink is one of them, beginning when Gordon Campbell was premier. He converted the TransLink board from elected mayors (public) to a private board. The mayors were relegated to advisory status. A new business-oriented board of professionals — unelected, private — is now the TransLink board. TransLink has seen a deterioration of service, with underfunding and poor service. Transit users now face a failing system. TransLink is being managed badly. TransLink’s focus seems to be on automobiles, instead of public transit. The Mayors Council introduced a proposed plan for a referendum. It would increase funding and service for public transit. Handydart, the poor adjunct, was included, but remains with a 10-year budget freeze. It is important to understand the disabled contribute to society as a whole. Many are in the labouring class. Handydart therefore needs equitable consideration and an improved budget. We believe there is an important need for an organization of all transit users, able-bodied and disabled. It needs a leader, a demand, and a program to succeed. The able-bodied should be made aware of the sensitivity of the disabled in such a development. JOHN BEECHING, VANCOUVER

Langley Time s file pho to

Striking teachers waved at traffic going by Langley Secondary on 56 Avenue in late August, in the midst of the teachers’ strike.

Lengthy court case a big challenge Editor: What BCTF president Jim Iker seems to have forgotten — and plays on people’s benign ignorance of the collective bargaining process between teachers (the BCTF) and the provincial government (BCPSEA) — is that the issue he raises in his letter (“B.C. Teachers Federation is working on many initiatives,” The Times, Feb. 10) is still before the courts. When it comes to Iker’s point about the B.C. government funding “the basics like improving class size and composition”, the crux of the matter is that a BCTF-initiated court case that went before the Supreme Court of British Columbia nearly five years ago. It has resulted in a very long and highly expensive litigious process for the BCTF, which has nearly bankrupted the 40,000-plus member teachers’ union. In the end, it may fail to produce the results that the teachers of B.C. and the BCTF have been hoping for, as the stakes are higher than the $2 billion impact that it may have on the provincial government’s budget. It may have ramifications all the way across the country to the tune of a quarter of a trillion dollars. As of October, 2014, this protracted case was before the Appeals Court of B.C. regarding what the B.C. government cabinet purported to be confidential information that has not been put forward in this five-year-long process — an issue that has now been resolved in part in the BCTF’s favour with the provincial government being compelled to pay $2 million in costs — but which has not been paid as the provincial government is considering appealing. And undoubtedly the matter will be taken to the Supreme Court of Canada where it could take years before attaining resolution, which will only acerbate the already soured relationship between the teachers and the BCTF and the B.C. government. This case was initiated by former Surrey teacher and Surrey Teachers’ Association president David Chudnovsky (1986-88), a former BCTF president (1999-2002), who later was an NDP MLA representing Vancouver-Kingsway from 2005 to 2009.

He challenged what the BCTF feels is impugned legislation interfering with the rights to freedom of association contrary to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Five years ago, this case went before Chief Justice Bauman, with the BCTF attempting to impugn the validity of three pieces of provincial legislation: 1. The Educational Services Collective Agreement Act, S.B.C. 2002, c. 1, (also known as Bill 27,); 2. The Public Education Flexibility and Choice Act, S.B.C. 2002, c. 3, (also known as Bill 28); and, 3. The Education Services Collective Agreement Amendment Act, S.B.C. 2004, c.1, (also known as Bill 19 – 2004). The alleged infringement was found by Justice Bauman not to be a reasonable limit demonstrably justified under section 1 of the Charter. Not taking no for an answer, the BCTF challenged what they felt was ‘impugned’ legislation (Bills 27 and 28) before Madam Justice S. Griffin. In her 78-page ‘Reasons for Judgement – In Chambers’, Madam Justice Griffin concluded that the B.C. Government infringed the teachers’ freedom of association guaranteed under the Charter and that the infringement — speaking to Sections 8 and 15 of the Public Education Flexibility and Choice Act (Bill 28) — was not a reasonable limit demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society under Section 1 of the Charter. Justice Griffin did not find that the provincial government had infringed the teachers’ freedom of association as it pertained to Section 4 of the Education Services Collective Agreement Amendment Act (Bill 19 – 2004). She gave the provincial government a year to address the repercussions of her decision, suspending the invalidity of the legislation for 12 months. A year and a half later, she made an oral ruling which, in essence, dismissed the BCTF’s application and advised the teachers that her previous judgement was precise and unambiguous in its direction. Pushing the envelope, the BCTF made further application to Madam Justice Griffin, citing four instances where their rights had been violated;

however, the justice advised both parties, the BCTF and the provincial government, to communicate with each other more effectively, before any further judicial action was to be taken. In this lengthy process-oriented series of court appearances, Justice Griffin made a further judgement regarding the BCTF’s application for production of confidential cabinet documents, noting that the documents sought were not relevant and were not needed to be produced by the provincial government. If that wasn’t enough, the BCTF challenged the issue once again on Jan. 13, 2014 and Madam Justice Griffin ruled in favour of the BCTF. In concluding his letter, BCTF president Iker stated that “a change in government attitude towards funding is the first adaptation (that) B.C. students need.” I agree. But I don’t think he should hold his breath. The current B.C. government is primarily former Social Credit and Reform Party of B.C. members with only one true Liberal — and she is now the Speaker of the House and only votes when there is a tie vote on a bill. The B.C. ‘Socred/Reform’ Liberal Party is ideologically committed to a balanced budget and reducing the provincial debt. Yes, the province’s teachers are leading the way, but the significance of their demands made before the Supreme Court of B.C. and the B.C. Court of Appeals since 2010 has massive implications for the control of educational policy throughout the country. It will cost billions if the teachers’ unions were to gain the power of deciding policy regarding education throughout the country. Perhaps the BCTF and its member associations and the 40,000-plus teachers need to start a door-to-door campaign soliciting support from industrial, commercial and residential taxpayers to pressure the government in increase the provincial debt by another $2 billion to meet their aspirations. I wish him the very best of British luck on that. G.E. MACDONELL, \NGLEY G.E. MacDonell

Connecting farmers to customers goal of Township ‘food hub’ study Getting Langley food producers who work on small and medium farms selling their products to local residents is the goal of a Food Hub Feasibility Study, which is about to launch in the Township. The study, which is being prepared by Township Agricultural Advisory Committee, will get underway on March 12 with a workshop for food producers who work on small and medium farms. “We want to know what our farmers’ needs are and what their customers’ needs are, and find ways to better connect them,” Mayor Jack Froese said. “There are many people who want to eat local, fresh food and many farmers committed to providing it.” The idea of creating a food hub was first floated in the Township’s Agricultural Viability Strategy. Completed in 2013, the strategy suggests agri-business can be made more viable by providing a welcoming business environment, having a secure agricultural land base, and ensuring farmers use best management practices. It also stresses the need to provide proper services and infrastructure to enhance the agri-food industry in Langley. “Creating a food hub would allow farmers to do what they do best — farm,” said Councillor David Davis, co-chair of the Agricultural Advisory Committee and a dairy farmer himself.

“Farmers know how to grow food, but getting it to consumers and dealing with marketing and distribution is a whole different ball game.” A food hub in Langley Township would tie together everything from warehouses and transportation companies to businesses that provide packaging and marketing. It would also support farmers markets, restaurants, and commercial food preparation kitchens. “A food hub that makes it easier to deal with other aspects of the food production business would be a great incentive for aspiring young farmers or anyone thinking about getting into farming in Langley Township,” Davis said. The Stakeholder Workshop will run from 6:30 – 9 p.m. on Thursday, March 12. Amy McCann of the Local Food Marketplace in Oregon, which provides professional support to food hubs, will be featured speaker. To register, call 604-533-6154 before Monday, March 9. The location of the workshop will be confirmed during registration. The session will focus on small and medium food producers but everyone concerned about food production is welcome. For more information, call Teresa Kaszonyi of the Township of Langley’s Community Development Department at 604-533-6091.

New member named to committee A new community member has been appointed to the Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement, Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese announced Monday. Ellen Peterson has been asked by Froese to serve on the committee, as Dale Ball has had to step down due to unexpected circumstances.

Peterson is a Brookswood resident who works as the executive director of the Langley Division of Family Practice, which represents a group of local physicians working to address common health care goals. She is also secretary of the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation. The committee next meets on March 11 at 3 p.m.

PRESIDENTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S REPORT

Chamber office moving to larger facility

604-514-6761

n behalf of the Board of Directors I wish to advise the membership that we have sold our Chamber office on Glover Road in Langley City, and that we are in the process of purchasing a larger, more suitable space in new facilities at 80th Avenue and 199th Street. This is part of our long range plan for the succession of our organization. The new space will allow for expansion of our staffing levels in the future, provide better meeting space for our committees, the Board of Directors, other events, and improve safety for our staff. The Board considered alternative options of purchasing versus leasing space and agreed that it was preferable to reinvest its resources in real estate. The Board has issued a Request for Proposal to members for the construction of leasehold improvements right away to ensure occupancy in early May. We look forward to inviting all members to view the new facilities at a special open house to be planned in the Spring. I would especially like to recognize the contribution of time and expertise of our Board and task force members to expedite both the sale and purchase of the properties. I also am pleased to announce that the Board has exercised its authority to appoint a member to the Board to fill the vacated Directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position. We welcome the assistance of Garth White, Industrial Real Estate Broker, to assist us through the property sale and purchase processes. Garth has joined as a Director-AtLarge until the next AGM to be held in June 2015. During the recent election campaigns and transportation debate, the Chamber has expressed our preference for mobility pricing as an efficient way of funding transportation and transit throughout the lower mainland region. There have been questions about â&#x20AC;&#x153;what is mobility pricing and how does it work?â&#x20AC;? The Chamber is promoting mobility pricing as the most appropriate funding model and we believe the government, along with transportation planners, should develop the specific implementation plan. A regional mobility pricing strategy would break the region into

zones similar to the transit system. The users of the major road network would be charged a reasonable fee or toll to travel through the zones as opposed to tolling specific pieces of infrastructure. This would be a true â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;user payâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; method whereby the cost would be attributed to the use of the full network, not an inconsistent tolling of specific bridges or tunnels. This system would also provide other benefits. It would not penalize residents travelling within their zone of residency to/from school, appointments, family activity and therefore would encourage more local shopping. It would provide a mechanism for traffic demand management by allowing fees to be modified to encourage travel in non-peak hours. For instance, trucks could be permitted to travel through the later evening or night hours for reduced rates thereby decreasing the congestion on the roads and infrastructure. Casual drivers could opt to travel in non-peak hours to avoid a rush hour premium. Mobility pricing has been used in other major centers throughout the world with great efficiency, and we are pleased that the mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; council has indicated their commitment this option. The explanation I have given is simplistic but hopefully provides you with a better understanding of the process. We continue to urge the Mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Council to work with the Province to take concrete steps to commence the plan for implementation to ensure this commitment is a reality in the near future. On the advocacy front, the Board will focus our efforts for the remainder of this term on some key issues: â&#x20AC;˘ We will work with other lower mainland Chambers to encourage our municipalities to expand the InterMunicipal Business Licenses to cover the entire region and broaden the scope beyond construction related businesses. â&#x20AC;˘ Through the BC Chamber we are working on policies to change the Property Transfer Tax, improve safety measures concerning shipment of oil by rail, implement online voting in provincial and municipal elections, and ensure enforcement of duty collection at the Canada/US Border Crossings to maintain competitiveness. â&#x20AC;˘ As our draft resolutions are completed they will be posted on the Chamber website and highlighted in the newsletter.

Five Tools to Keep Up-to-Date on Industry News Courtesy of Small Business Accelerator Blog ~ www.sba-bc.ca/blog If you are an aspiring small business owner or entrepreneur, you probably are diving in head first into secondary market research. The time you spend finding quality resources is very valuable, but with all of the resources consulted and the time devoted to the research, it is easy for keeping up-to-date to fall off the radar once you have a business plan in place. After you have done your research, don’t lose out on the value you have just created – organize the resources that are important to your new business venture to stay up to date even after your business has been launched. By continuing to stay informed with ongoing market research, you can understand what bumps may be ahead, or a new consumer trend to incorporate in your marketing strategy. There are many helpful applications available that allow you to quickly scan headlines from various sources so you can be informed and mind your busy schedule. Here are some great tools to organize your information: Flipboard www.aboutflipboard.com This application focuses on graphics and

visuals with the goal of allowing you to create a personalized magazine. You have the option of following other users who curate content relevant to you, and you can alternatively make your own magazine as public or private as desired, with functionality to sync with your social networking accounts. Feedly www.feedly.com This application is visually appealing with a balance of text. The interface allows you to deliberately move from one resource to another, or view a summary of all feeds. It also helps you to find content based on your current library, so you can continue to seamlessly develop your list of quality industry resources. Pocket www.getpocket.com If you find yourself wanting to read something later while offline, particularly if you are in a rural area with unreliable data service, Pocket is a fantastic way to save it for later. It works with any online content that you find, so it works well if you consume lots of different media types, including podcasts, videos and articles. Watchup www.watchup.com If you prefer to consume video content,

this app brings together video sources of news content and plays them seamlessly. If you are a multi-tasker (who isn’t nowadays?), it is a great way to absorb the news while still focusing on the other aspects that are necessary to running your small business. NewsBlur www.newsblur.com Newsblur aggregates your selected RSS feeds and allows you to organize them however you’d like. A unique feature of NewsBlur is the ability to train it on your

preferences, letting the app know what aspects of the article you like and don’t like, so you don’t get overloaded with content when you log in. All of these providers offer a tutorial video or demo to play around with, so find one that feels right and start organizing the great resources you’ve compiled on your industry. By staying connected to industry publications, make your initial endeavor into secondary market research a source of lasting value for your new small business.

Langley RCMP Business Link Program A proactive approach to crime prevention for the business community The primary focus of the Langley RCMP Business Link Program is to educate business owners about crime prevention strategies that can result in decreased criminal activity. Three elements make a crime occur: criminal, victim and opportunity. By removing just one of these elements, a crime cannot occur. A criminal looks for opportunities that require the least amount of effort, the lowest risk, and highest gain. What does the Business Link Program offer? Free information sessions on loss prevention, counterfeit currency, fraud, robbery prevention and personal safety. Free doorway height strips to help you determine a person’s approximate height. And a free security assessment of your business. If you are interested in joining this program or have questions, please contact Dianne Robinson, Business Link Coordinator, at 604-532-3210.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a perennial favourite at parades. They bring a solemn grace to Canadian cenotaphs every Nov. 11. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a big hit at community events. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bagpipes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Langley needs more of them, says Karen Murphy Corr. To help make that wish a reality, an online campaign has been set up in the hope of raising thousands of dollars for the 2277 Seaforth Highlanders of Canada, Royal Cadet Army Corps of Langley â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a group of 12- to 18-year-old musicians â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to help them purchase costly instruments, receive quality instruction to play them well and to do it all in true highland style. Altogether, the group hopes to raise $30,000 to cover a range of expenses associated with forming a performance-ready pipe & drum band, said Corr a member of the parent sponsoring committee, whose son, Gerard, plays the bagpipes. Until the band, which formed in 2010, has proper instruments and highland gear, they cannot enter parades or participate in community events, such as

Remembrance Day services, said Corr. Unfortunately, the equipment they need to get started cannot be had for a song. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive wish list, includes 10 sets of highland dress, comprised of kilts, hose, dress shoes and sporrans, as well as tunics which, if they must be purchased through a tailor, could cost as much as $1,500 to $2,000 each. Ideally, she said, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d prefer to purchase the jackets second-hand. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also looking into the possibility of additional cost savings by having kilts made in the style that was worn during the First World War. Due to wartime rationing, the garments were pleated in such a way that they used far less fabric and were much less expensive to make, explained Corr. In addition, the band requires a number of bagpipe chanters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at around $50 to $75 apiece â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for those just learning to play, as well as two additional full sets of bagpipes ($1,500 each) drums, sticks, harnesses and regimental insignia decals. The group has already purchased second-hand drums, but those are in need

Last year, the cadets were able to train with the Surrey Seaforth Cadets, however that groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lessons have been moved to Delta and Jericho Beach. With many of the Langley cadets coming from Aldergrove and Abbotsford, that is simply too far to travel on a weeknight, said Corr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to pay for some quality instruction time for our cadets to set a solid foundation for their learning.â&#x20AC;? The cost for lessons is around $75 per hour, per teacher. Two qualified instructors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one for pipes and one for drums â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are required. The cadets are not just looking for handouts, said Corr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If community groups could use some brawn, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help.â&#x20AC;? For the last few years the cadets and parents have volunteered to help the Langley Elks at their Hawaiian pig roast and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great experience, Corr said. Continued Page 20

lot of behind the scenes technical and brand training to deliver the Great Clips promise,” said Klassen. Inside the salons, one will also find a variety of competitively priced styling products from tops brands, including: American Crew, Sexy Hair, Biolage, Paul Mitchell, Redken, Nioxin, Joico, TIGI, and of course Great Clips own, and popular, Solutions brand.

Broadway and Hollywood hits come to Langley CONCERT HELD AT UNITED CHURCHES OF LANGLEY MARCH 7 Fans of Broadway show tunes and hit Hollywood movie songs will be given a treat on March 7, when the United Churches of Langley present “Songs from Broadway to Hollywood (and everything in between!) featuring vocalist Calla Krause and pianist/vocalist Perry Dickison. Both Krause and Dickison are accomplished performers in their own right, and they will be joining forces for this special evening to present a showcase of some of their favourite popular songs from the 1930s to the present day. The event will be held at the United Churches of Langley’s Murrayville location at 21562 Old Yale Rd. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m., and will be followed by a “Delectable Dessert” reception. From London to Toronto to Langley, Krause’s musical career has covered everything from musical theatre to 20th century music productions. While living in Toronto, she was part of the cast of “Mikado,” which was followed by a lengthy tour that included a stop on Broadway. She also a performed at the Stratford Festival for two seasons, and has been cast in various other musical theatre productions including the original Canadian cast of Les Miserables.

After her 750th performance of that production, she left theatre to attend law school at Dalhousie University. During her professional career, her love of music has held strong, and she has continued to perform in shows such as the Weill Women showcase of Kurt Weill music, as well as her own one-woman Broadway show Also starring in the show will be the United Churches of Langley’s new Sauter grand piano. The church acquired this designer grand piano in May of 2013, and celebrated the acquisition through their “Songs and Celebrations” concert series, which featured world-renowned pianist Ian Parker. The Songs of Broadway concert will be another demonstration of the United Churches of Langley’s commitment to providing their community with high-quality, entertaining events for the whole family. For more information, call 604842-5571. Tickets are $18 for adults and $15 for students and seniors, and can be purchased through the United Churches of Langley’s website at www.ucol.ca, or at the church office, Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Because of safety concerns, the one activity the cadets are not allowed to do is direct traffic. By raising the money as an organization, the Seaforth Highlanders are able to offer youth an opportunity to participate at no cost to themselves or their parents. They’re always looking for new members as well and previous musical experience is not necessary. “We want kids to know they can come out and do this,” said Corr. “How often do you get music lessons for free?” The ultimate goal, said Corr, is

that Langley would have a pipe and drum band that could perform for the community. “The Cloverdale Legion, in particular, has been amazing,” said Corr. “They help how they can, but it would be great to be able to play for them. “If you love to hear a quality pipe and drum band at community events, parades, and special celebrations we hope you’ll help us with ours,” said Corr.

The Trinity Western Spartans celebrate after capturing the CIS women’s volleyball national title in Toronto on Sunday. Above: Spartans setter Nikki Cornwall was named the championships’ most valuable player after her team defeated Alberta 3-2 in the gold-medal game.

Golden girls: TWU crowned champs TRINITY WESTERN WINS FIRST CIS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP BANNER WITH DRAMATIC VICTORY GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts

The Trinity Western Spartans were in the very familiar position of being down two sets to none. This was the third time in the past four matches the women’s volleyball team faced an 0-2 deficit in the best-of-five match. “It is almost like we have taken a little bit to figure things out, figure our opponent out, let our block do the work, and then just keep on storming,” said Trinity Western coach Ryan Hofer. The Spartans were in an 0-2 hole against the Alberta Pandas in the CIS gold-medal match on

Sunday at Toronto’s Goldring Centre. The Spartans would win the final three matches by scores of 25-15, 25-15 and 15-11 to claim the program’s first-ever CIS title. “It is still a little bit surreal,” Hofer said, adding that he can’t believe just how much effort and energy it took to do this. “I have a new respect for anyone who has done it before me.” The Spartans also faced an 0-2 hole the week before against Alberta in the Canada West final, and then again in the CIS national championship quarter-finals against Laval.

Trinity Western won 3-0 in the national semifinals over Montreal. But after winning six straight sets, the Spartans lost 25-22 and 25-23 to Alberta in Sunday’s final. Hofer said he really didn’t have to say anything to his team before the third set. “They took care of a lot of the things themselves. They were just inspiring each other with what they needed to say about not giving up,” he said. “These girls refuse to tide. They just never give up and they had so many chances to give up and they just said no, not today. “The biggest thing I had to say to them was keep banging. Be risky, be aggressive with their serve and be aggressive with attacking the ball.”

Setter Nikki Cornwall tallied 53 assists and had a team-high 20 digs in the final as she was named the championship MVP. “Being down the first two sets, I knew we could come back and it was just a matter of finding that fire within us,” she said. “We were able to keep fighting through all five sets, whereas other teams, I don’t think would be able to do that as well as we did.” Elizabeth Wendel led the Spartans with 21.5 points (16 kills, three aces and 2.5 blocks) in the gold-medal match while Royal Richardson had 16 kills, 11 digs and two blocks. Sophie Carpentier added 15 kills, 10 digs and 2.5 blocks and Alicia Perrin notched 11 kills and seven digs. Cornwall, Wendel and Perrin all earned tournament all-star

honours. The Spartans were a senior-heavy team with six fifthyear players, and Hofer said it was great to see them go out on top. “They have worked really hard this year and are reaping the rewards of everything they have put in,” he said. “It is a rich and rewarding feeling. These girls are going out after five long years of gunning for it every single year, and not quite getting it, and at last grabbing it.” This was the program’s fifth straight appearance at the CIS championships and their previous bests were a pair of bronze medals in both 2011 and 2013. Prior to the tournament, Perrin was named a CIS first team all-Canadian.

Silver lining as Spartans drop national final to Alberta The Alberta Golden Bears dominated in every statistical category to capture the CIS men’s volleyball national championship title. The Bears were playing the Trinity Western Spartans on Saturday night at Saskatoon’s Physical Activity Complex in a rematch

of the Canada West title game the week before. “They were great,” said Spartans coach Ben Josephson about the Alberta squad which won 3-0 (2519,25-17,25-15). “I’m not really disappointed with our performance. I’m disappointed with some execution

things and some game plan things, but there was no way that those things were going to be enough to win. “Alberta played a fantastic game in every phase and they earned that victory.” The first set — which Josephson said was the turn-

ing point — was tied at 16 before Alberta scored nine of the final 12 points. The Golden Bears outhit Trinity Western .389 to .117, had the block advantage 9-6, and had five aces to the Spartans three. They also had 28 digs compared to 16 for TWU. The Spartans’ Dan-

ny Grant was the team’s player of the game with four kills and three blocks while Nick Del Bianco was named to the tournament all-star team. This was the Spartans fourth appearance in the national championship game in the past six years and it was the program’s

eighth medal. They have won three gold, three silver and a pair of bronze. Prior to the championships, Del Bianco was named the CIS player of the year. He was also a first team all-Canadian while teammate Ryan Sclater was a second team all-Canadian.

He didn’t score two goals in his debut like one fan guaranteed in a Twitter post, but it was still a great debut for Kyle Belton. “It was unreal; playing in your hometown, and to be able to contribute to a big win, felt pretty awesome,”

Belton said. Belton grew up in Langley and played through the ranks of the Langley Minor Lacrosse Association. And he was an off-season trade acquisition of his hometown Vancouver Stealth, coming over from the Toronto Rock. But Saturday night was the

first time he suited up this National Lacrosse League season. Belton finished with one assist and was second on the team with five loose balls as the Stealth won their third straight game at the Langley Events Centre, defeating the Minnesota Swarm 21-15. The win improved Vancouver to

Kyle Belton made his Vancouver Stealth debut on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre. Belton, who grew up in Langley and played in the Langley Minor Lacrosse Association, was picked up in an off-season trade by Vancouver but has spent the first eights weeks of the season on the Stealth practice roster. Vancouver defeated the Minnesota Swarm 21-15. See more at www.langleytimes.com.

4-4 as they head into a bye week. “I was very happy with Kyle,” said Stealth coach Dan Perreault. “Each week he has practiced hard and competed hard and kept his chin up even though he wasn’t in the line-up. “It is all about opportunity and Kyle got a chance and he certainly didn’t disappoint.” Belton got the call with Tyler Garrison on injured reserve. Both are transition players. Prior to that, Belton has spent the first eight weeks on the practice roster. Belton, who turns 28 later this month, is in his third year in the league. “It is tough watching your teammates battle every week and not contributing,” he said. “But that’s the way she goes in this league and you just have to keep mentally prepared and when you get the call, you have to be ready.” And he said it is important not to try and do too much when you do get your shot. “At the end of the day, it’s all about the team. You don’t want to overdo it,” Belton said. “You want to make sure you are getting noticed and putting your best effort out there but at the end of the day, you have to play within the systems and go from there.”

Rivermen set to clash with Spruce Kings LANGLEY BATTLING PRINCE GEORGE IN BEST-OF-SEVEN MAINLAND DIVISION PLAYOFF SERIES GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

A very familiar foe will face the Langley Rivermen when the puck drops on the BCHL playoffs. The Rivermen face the Prince George Spruce Kings in the best-of-seven Mainland Division semifinals, which get underway tonight (Tuesday) at the Langley Events Centre. Game two is also at the LEC tomorrow night. The two junior A hockey clubs have played each other four times in the past eight games, with each squad winning twice. “It just makes for entertaining hockey when you get that little bit of passion out there,” said Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson. The teams wrapped up the regular season over the weekend in Prince George with home-ice advantage for the first round at stake.

Crib League

Prince George won 5-3 on Friday night before Langley secured second place in the Mainland Division with a 6-3 win on Saturday night. The Rivermen went 29-23-1-5 for 64 points, three better than Prince George (27-24-1-6). “It is nice to start at home. You are in your own bed, you are familiar with the rink,” Henderson said. “(But) I don’t think you can put too much emphasis on it; at the end of the day, you still have to play the game and it comes down to the players.” Langley went 5-3-10 against the Spruce Kings. The Rivermen averaged 3.52 goals per game while surrendering 3.41. Prince George scored 3.36 and gave up 3.67 per game. Both teams also struggled down the stretch as Langley was 3-6-0-1 and the Spruce Kings were 4-4-1-1. “They are a similar Feb. 26 scoreboard Harmsworth 26 Fort Langley 10

and on the other side of the coin, they create a whole lot of their transition game,” Henderson said. “For us, we just have to play a smart game. If we are good within

our structure and stay out of the box, then we should have success.” The Spruce Kings have the eighthranked power play at 22.56 per cent while the Rivermen counter

with the league’s second-best penalty kill at 83.16 per cent. The Langley power play is 13th in the league at 19.76 per cent and the Prince George penalty kill ranks sixth at

78.65 per cent. Langley had a trio of 20-goal scorers in Gage Torrel (26 goals, 64 points), Kevan Kilistoff (25 goals, 66 points) and Marcus Vela (20 goals, 46 points). They had five others with at least 11 goals. Prince George is led by Jeremiah Luedtke, who had 21 goals and 67 points. The team had four players surpass the 20-goal plateau and another five with 10 goals or more. The Rivermen have some bumps and bruises, as well as a few players sick, but that is to be expected after six months and 58 games. But the team is excited. “It has been a grind to get to this point. They have put themselves in pretty good position here so they are excited to get going,” Henderson said. “This is what it is all about.” ••• Games three and four of the series are in Prince George on Friday and Saturday night.

Gators bronzed at BC’s TEAM OVERCOMES HEARTBREAKING LOSS IN SEMIFINALS TO WIN BRONZE MEDAL AT PROVINCIAL TOURNEY GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

After a heartbreaking loss in the provincial semifinals, coach Lucian Sauciuc had to deal with an emotional Walnut Grove team. “They were hurt, there were some tears in the locker room,” he said. “I tried to keep their spirits up as much as possible, but there is only so much you can say in a situation like that. “I told them it’s OK to hurt, it’s OK for them to be upset, but I don’t want them to use that to pout or use this as an excuse because we still had chances to win that game, we just made a couple of mistakes down the stretch.” He was referring to the semifinals on Friday night at the Langley Events Centre of the B.C. provincial junior basketball championships. The Gators, seeded No. 14, were up against

the No. 7 Killarney Cougars, and the teams were tied at 50 with one minute to go. But Walnut Grove was called for two intentional fouls in the final minute — bogus calls, Sauciuc said — and Killarney hit three free throws for the difference in the game. Killarney would defeat No. 1 Kitsilano 6455 in the gold medal game. In Saturday afternoon’s bronze-medal game, the Gators came out with a determined effort to beat No. 4 Steveston-London 7159. “We had a good effort and beat a good team to get third,” Sauciuc said. “The best way to finish it off is on a win. I was really happy with the effort in that game.” “Obviously our goal was to play in that final game and give ourselves a chance for a provincial banner, but

Walnut Grove’s James Woods was a first team allstar at the B.C. junior boys provincial basketball championships. it was still a successful season,” he added. The Gators have a young roster with five Grade 9 players getting significant minutes. The team was among the top-ranked junior teams in the province, but were upset in the Fraser Valley quarter-finals by the Terry Fox Ravens, which resulted in Walnut Grove getting a lower seed for provincials. The Gators would beat No. 19 Notre

Dame 49-43 in the opening round and then upset No. 3 St. George’s 46-38. In the quarter-finals, Walnut Grove got revenge on No. 11 Terry Fox with a 47-44 win. James Woods earned first team all-star honours while Andrew Goertzen was a second team selection. Brett Christensen didn’t earn all-star accolades, but Sauciuc called him “a pivotal part of our team.”

Grove advances GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

After an upset loss had the Walnut Grove Gators on the brink of elimination, the senior boys basketball team responded with three straight victories. “We talked a lot about what we wanted to accomplish this post-season,” said Gators coach George Bergen. “They had some answers and I had an opportunity to offer some of my suggestions.” The Gators were competing at the Fraser Valley 4A senior boys championships and they entered the 32-team tournament as the second seed. And after winning their opening game 101-56 over Centennial, the Gators were upset by the No. 10 Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers 75-68. The Panthers wound up finishing second in the Valley, losing 88-78 to the No. 5 Yale Lions. In the double elimination tournament — with the top six qualifying for the provincial championships next week at the Langley Events Centre — Walnut Grove stayed alive by winning their next two games, 80-56 over Panorama Ridge and 79-52 over Tamanawis. And in the fifth/sixth place game, the Gators held off Heritage Woods 79-72 on Saturday afternoon at the LEC. “I thought we played with a little more intensity on defence, and that was very critical,” Bergen said. “And we took care of the ball a little bit better. “Those are two difference makers that are very critical.” Ty Rowell was named a second team Fraser Valley all-star for the Gators. Walnut Grove is seeded No. 11 for the 16-team tournament and they open against No. 6 Burnaby South on March 11 at 6:45 p.m.
