Blood traces key in murder re-trial

M ONIQUE TA MMINGA Times R ep or ter

Blood found inside Davey Butorac’s prized Chevy Cavalier Z24 was the topic at the Aldergrove man’s second-degree murder trial in Supreme Court in New Westminster.

Butorac is being re-tried for the murder of Sheryl Korroll, 50, of Langley, after an earlier conviction was tossed out by the B.C. Court of Appeal.

RCMP Sgt. Daryl Krumbhols had been on the stand for two days taking the jury through

how he examined Butorac’s Cavalier Z24 back in October 2007.

Korroll’s body was found dumped at a concrete plant in Langley City on July 7, 2007.

Korroll was a prostitute working and living in Langley City.

She lived with her elderly parents at the time of her death.

Surveillance footage at the concrete plant was seized by police. It showed the suspect vehicle to be a light-coloured Cavalier with a sunroof, roof rack and tire treads showed it

Among the points made in Cordeiro’s letter is the contention that any extension of the Surrey LRT model would serve a predominantly local function, rather than facilitate regional travel between Langley and Vancouver.

“That is at odds with the stance we’ve taken over the years,” said Hall.

“I want to ensure that everyone is sticking together.

If not, we could end up with the lowest common denominator.

“Either the report (from Cordeiro), or the way it was reported, seems to show a crack in the armour,” said Hall.

A letter written by Paul Cordeiro, Langley Township’s manager of transportation engineering, about a proposed LRT line to run from Surrey into Langley, has given at least one Langley City councillor cause for concern.

Referring to an April 8 story in The Times that outlined Cordeiro’s reservations about the plan, Councillor Dave Hall asked on Monday night whether City staff intend to submit a similar report, commenting on TransLink’s proposal to use ground-level light rapid transit to connect Langley and Surrey, rather than extend the existing SkyTrain line from King George Boulevard, east along

Butorac’s was the last Cavalier to be examined.

“For a 15-year-old vehicle the interior was very clean. There were no foreign materials or garbage. Just one bottle of hand sanitizer,” he said.

“Underneath the tire in the wells of the metal appeared a liquid,” he noted.

Krumbhols testified that he found blood droplets on the roof of the trunk, blood stains in the metal wells underneath the spare tire and blood on the passenger side cloth handle of the car.

Litter blitzes, tip lines, surveillance among measures planned to combat illegal dumping D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Litter blitzes, tip lines, surveillance cameras and a rewrite of existing regulations are among the features of a new anti-dumping strategy adopted by Langley Township council Monday.

The unanimous vote came after Township solid waste co-ordinator Tess Rouse presented a report that shows the municipality spends about $400,000 a year cleaning up after people who dump things they shouldn’t in places they aren’t allowed to.

Rouse said a review of the illegal waste tracking sheets filled out by the Township staff who do the cleanups has found the problem is more severe in single-family neighbourhoods than it is in less-populated agricultural areas, with 29 per cent of illegal litter landing near farms and 38 per cent in urban areas.

“People do it just as often at the end of a cul-de-sac,” Rouse said.

Township records show the litter is mostly construction and demolition debris, yard waste, furniture and loose piles of waste.

The Township campaign is modeled on successful anti-litter initiatives in Australia, the U.S. and eastern Canada which have produced substantial drops in problem dumping.

A survey of those campaigns shows the reduction was the result of a combination of stepped-up enforcement, tip lines for witnesses to report illegal dumping, public education, and partnerships with businesses like fast food restaurant chains.

The Township campaign will do the same, adding one full-time staffer for at least a year to co-ordinate quarterly “litter blitzes” in key areas to catch offenders in the act, to review the feeds from video cameras at dumping “hot spots” and educate residents about the dumping rules, among other things.

Existing Township regulations will be re-written so officers don’t have catch people when they’re actually dumping to fine them.

Instead, penalties will be levied against “those alleged to have caused municipal solid waste and/or recyclable material to be deposited on land not within a licensed disposal facility.”

The campaign should be up and running next year at a cost of $250,000, most of that from “existing operating budgets.”

C o ntribu te d pho to

Illegal dumping is a growing problem in Langley Township. This has led to Langley Township council unanimously endorsing a new anti-dumping strategy, which will include surveillance cameras, tip lines and rewritten dumping regulations.

Envision Financial leaving Langley City downtown MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

Envision Financial is leaving Langley City, effective May 9.

Envision is consolidating its Langley City branch with its Willoughby branch, which is located three kilometres away at 20193 64 Ave. “We’ve been a part of the Langley City community for many years and during this time we have built strong relationships with our members and community partners. Given our connection to the area, this isn’t a decision we’ve made lightly,” reads the online statement from Envision.

Envision Financial has been in Langley

City since 1986. The area the branch is located in, at 20627 Fraser Highway, has some empty store fronts and other challenges.

The mall area adjacent to the branch is not fully occupied.

“We have committed members and employees at this branch so this wasn’t a decision we took lightly. We wanted to be really thoughtful about this,” said Shelley Besse, Envision president.

The credit union wanted to give its members as much notice as possible and even called many of them, including those who are now out of town, to notify them of the consolidation.

“There is a declining portfolio of growth

in the area and we are worried about the safety of our staff,” said Besse. “The area is changing.

“Our Willoughby branch is a full service bank with commercial banking, an ATM dispensing US currency, a coin counter and on-site insurance,” Besse said.

Three-quarters of the staff will be moving to the Willoughby branch “so our members will greeted by the same faces as before.”

The other staff members will be moving to branches closer to where they live, she said.

“Our employees and are our members are very important to us,” she said.

Envision is currently looking at ways to best serve those of their Langley City customers who have mobility challenges.

It will continue its long-standing relationship with the Gateway of Hope, Langley Seniors Centre and Langley Big Brothers.

With the departure of Envision Financial, that leaves two banks still located in the downtown area of the City, with TD Bank and Scotia Bank remaining.

A number of financial institutions have left the Langley City downtown area for Willowbrook over the past 20 years, including the Royal Bank, CIBC, Bank of Montreal and Coast Capital Credit Union.

Township ‘on board’ with LRT From Page 1

Mayors of both Langleys as well as Surrey, White Rock and Delta have collectively endorsed the LRT model, noted City CAO Francis Cheung.

Even though it is expected that a high proportion of people would use the LRT line for local service, it doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be able to transfer to SkyTrain for travel throughout the region, said Cheung.

Mayor Ted Schaffer agreed, saying the two services would “butt up against” one another, making a transfer between them, no different than transferring between SkyTrain lines at Broadway in Vancouver.

Schaffer acknowledged that in the letter — which he said, took him a bit by surprise — Cordeiro raised some technical concerns that the City would also like to examine in greater detail, including a number of major intersections where the at-grade rail would cross extremely busy roads — among them 152 Street, Highway 15, 64 Avenue, Fraser Highway and 200 Street.

“Major crossings have to be addressed,” said Schaffer. “We can’t just stop traffic. “(The LRT) will have to be elevated somehow,” he added, noting that soil testing is already being done along Fraser High-

way.

In addition to the major intersections, Schaffer was also referring to a plan to elevate the LRT line for a short distance to cross the rail line just west of Production Way. So far, there are no plans for a vehicle overpass at that crossing.

Schaffer said that he had spoken with Langley Township mayor Jack Froese about the issue, and was assured that the municipality still supports the plan.

“He is still on board with the other mayors. I’m taking him at his word that his staff are on board with our staff.”

Korroll killed by blows to head

From Page 1

This blood was discovered using a blood re-agent which causes a chemical reaction and will glow blue where blood is indicated. He also used another blood re-agent called Hemastick testing.

Butorac is using the same lawyer Richard Fowler, whom he retained for his original trial, and who successfully argued his appeal.

Butorac was living with his father in their Aldergrove townhome at the time of his arrest. He was unemployed.

Pathologist Dr. Craig Litwin, who did the autopsy on Korroll, concluded that it was blunt force trauma to the head that caused her death.

Litwin testified on Monday that Korroll had a fractured skull and her brain had bleeding and swelling. There were five blunt force impacts to her head. But none of those head injuries allowed the doctor to conclude what object or surface was used.

Korroll also had major bruising on her face, neck and torso. Although she didn’t have many teeth, one of them was knocked out during the time of her death, he noted. She also had bitten her tongue at that time.

She also had signs of asphyxiation but no marks like fingers or rope were found around her neck.

There were no injuries to her anus or vagina, Lit-

win testified.

There were indication her small, 113-pound body was dragged about 30 metres from where it was originally dumped at the concrete plant. She also had tire marks on her wrist, indicating that part of her body had been driven over by the suspect vehicle.

Her organs were fine except she had sclerosis of the liver. Her toxicology report said she had crack cocaine and heroin in her body at the time of death, but not a lethal amount. She had been a heavy drug user for 20 years, said Crown counsel Wendy Dawson.

Butorac’s defence lawyer asked if it was possible she could have been hit by a car and if the head injuries were sustained from that. He also asked if he thought it was plausible she fell onto the back of her head.

Litwin said typically a skull won’t fracture when someone falls from a standing position. He added that her injuries weren’t consistent with being hit by a car.

Fowler also asked him about signs of strangulation. Commonly the voice box is damaged, and Korroll’s was not.

A DNA expert is expected to testify about the blood found in Butorac’s car which matched Korroll’s.

The trial is expected to wrap up by next week.

We’ll get you through your injury claim.

Boundaries commission in Langley

PROPOSED PROVINCIAL RIDINGS THE SUBJECT FRAN K B U CH O LT Z Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The BC Electoral Boundaries Commission is hosting public hearings across B.C. to receive public comments about its proposed changes to boundaries of provincial ridings.

The commission is in Langley today (Wednesday) at the Best Western Plus, 5978 Glover Road, starting at 3:30 p.m. Members of the public who wish to speak to the commission’s recommendations may do so.

The commission is proposing to add two ridings, one in Richmond and one in Surrey. It is also proposing splitting Langley into three ridings, with two of them also containing much of western Abbotsford. They would be separated by Highway 1.

The southernmost riding, to be called Aldergrove-Abbotsford, would run from the Surrey-Langley border in South Langley as far east as the Huntingdon-Sumas border crossing. The northernmost riding, to be called Fort Langley-Abbotsford, would include Walnut Grove and Fort Langley and run as far east in Abbotsford as Clearbrook and Glenmore Roads.

The third Langley riding would be a shrunken version of the existing Langley riding, including Langley City, Willoughby and a portion of Brookswood.

Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman said last week that he wants to take a closer look at the maps and demographics of the proposed ridings which would split most of Langley into two provincial ridings, and combine them with

large portions of Abbotsford.

“I’d like to see how they came up with it (the proposed boundaries),” he said.

“I don’t know if people in South Langley at High Point Estates want to be part of the same riding as Abbotsford,” he said.

Coleman pointed out that MLAs for the proposed ridings would have to deal with two different cities, two school districts and a “whole different mix” than they do now.

He said it seems more logical to take the eastern portion of Langley away from his existing riding and combine it with an Abbotsford riding, rather than have two Langley ridings combined with Abbotsford.

Coleman noted that it is hard for a commission to come up with ridings that are fairly balanced in population in most of B.C. However, he said that MLAs today are able to manage their business in a far different way than they used to, with most communications being electronic in nature.

He said that, in urban ridings, an extra 10,000 people or so isn’t really a big problem.

He will be speaking to BC Liberal Party officials and expects them to make a presentation to the Electoral Boundaries Commission on the proposed changes in boundaries.

For more information on the BC Electoral Boundaries Commission’s proposals, see www. bc-ebc.ca.

Members of the public who are unable to attend the public hearing today can submit their views about the proposed boundaries on the website, or by email to info@bc-ebc.ca. Deadline is May 26.

Suspects are sought in two separate thefts SUS P E CT

Langley RCMP allege a young woman with blonde hair (see photo) made $150 in purchases at a Langley gas station using a stolen credit card on Feb. 26.

On April 5, a man filled a hockey bag full of $700 in merchandise and walked out of the Langley Walmart.

He was seen leaving in a white Chrysler Sebring.

Anyone who knows any details about either of these two crimes or the possible suspects can call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

The spill of bunker oil from a grain ship anchored in English Bay in Vancouver last week has attracted a huge, perhaps even disparate amount of media attention. It has also resulted in politicians from all three levels of government pointing fingers at each other.

Neither of those factors highlights what should be the real focus of this incident — the ability of government agencies to deal effectively with oil spills, whether fuel from a cargo ship in harbour or at sea, or a cargo of crude oil or refined fuels which spills into the ocean.

Much of the opposition to plans to build two new crude oil pipelines to the B.C. coast centres around legitimate concerns about the damage that any oil spill will do to the coast, and to the wildlife in the ocean and onshore.

Most of B.C.’s coast is very different than it is in the Lower Mainland. It is steep, rocky, tree-lined and very remote.

Very few people live along the coast. Very few people, including most British Columbians, have spent any significant amount of time along it, other than mariners, a few government officials and fishers.

It is, for the most part, pristine and unspoiled wilderness. It is home to an enormous variety of marine life, and to many animals that live on the rich bounty of the sea — eagles, sea otters and orcas, to name just three.

Thus the response to a relatively minor spill of fuel oil has been closely watched — not just by people in Vancouver, who have legitimate concerns about the state of their beaches, but by people from all over the province.

What they have seen has given most of them mixed feelings at best.

While the Coast Guard moved in and placed booms around the ship the fuel leaked from, that process took six hours — and this for a ship anchored in the harbour where the oil spill response crews are based.

The City of Vancouver was not notified for almost 13 hours after the spill was first reported. It was notified seven or eight hours after the oil spill booms began to be placed. Given the city’s responsibility for parks and beaches along the ocean that are used by thousands of people daily, this is inexcusable.

Political figures from the federal government have yet to speak up and promise that responding to oil spills on the coast is a top priority in Ottawa. It appears they are not.

B.C. is seen as a logical place to export crude oil from, and little more.

This incident has raised concerns which have yet to be fully and properly addressed.

Pipeline concerns gain additional traction A protest on Saturday in Fort Township Councillor Petrina ArLangley, led by the Kwantlen First nason and Langley school trustee Nation, gained a lot of traction as a Rosemary Wallace. result of the fuel oil spill in English The Kwantlen people rightly Bay a few days earlier. point out that there is no treaty The protest was called in opwith their nation and that the terposition to the plans to twin the ritory proposed for the pipeline is Kinder Morgan oil pipeline, which both historically theirs and uncedFROM THE ed. runs from Edmonton to Burnaby.

Question

of the week

Will you attend the scaled-down version of the Canada Day celebration in Willoughby this year?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Back in the playoffs they

Playoff hockey is returning to Canada in a big way.

After the pain of the previous National Hockey League season when only the Montreal Canadiens made the post-season, the Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Winnipeg Jets, the Habs and Ottawa Senators will all bring playoff excitement to the streets of their respective cities.

In Winnipeg, where they haven’t seen playoff action since the Jets left town to become the Coyotes, they were already partying in the streets Thursday night when Calgary defeated the Kings to clinch it for Manitoba hockey fans.

Only the Leafs and Oilers failed to make it. Unfortunately it may be “next year” for a few more seasons in Toronto and Edmonton.

However it’s one thing to be excited about heading into the playoffs and it’s another to even consider the Stanley Cup coming north of the border for the first time since 1993, when the Habs won their 24th Cup. At this juncture it’s anybody’s guess who will win it, although Montreal has to be considered the favourite amongst the True North Strong and Free contingent.

We do know that either Calgary or Vancouver and Montreal and Ottawa will advance to the second round, because they play each other.

Other than that it’s anybody’s guess and that’s what makes the second season so exciting, it really is a crapshoot and if things fall into place and a team gets on a roll, well ....... Go, Canada, go.

Last Week we asked you:

Is Langley Township’s tax increase of 3.67 per cent for 2015 fair and reasonable?

YES 14% NO 86%

No service Smart meter implementation process damaged democracy for 12 years means ‘no’ vote on tax

Editor: This is my feedback on the letter “Smart meters ‘a necessary step’ for BC Hydro,” (The Times, April 8), by Greg Alexis of BC Hydro.

Smart meter radiation power is designed to cover a two-mile distance, and with a close proximity to the walls where people sleep or work, it makes them harmful, especially when considering the cumulative radiation source effect.

Pulse radiation is acknowledged by many sources as being more damaging, compared to regular sine waves.

In dense communities, the number of meters per square mile makes any safety claims a cynical joke.

The smart meter rules in B.C. left all of us with: • A BC Hydro tariff which exempted it from any liability of doing any harm to home property; • Smart grid enforcement in a shape of blitzkrieg implementation actions, with no return on investment mentioned in the “business case;” • The government ignoring the

Union of B.C. Municipalities’ decision to apply a moratorium to the so-called smart grid project. Two “choices” were given at the very beginning: either like new meters, or leave the province. Only strong opposition made government rethink its brutality; • B.C. Utilities Commission ordered not to interfere with smart grid directives. It was literally blocked from doing its job of providing safe and fair options for the utility company customers; and • The technology forced on people, with a cynical expectation that people would be either indifferent or mesmerized by the key word of deception, “smart.”

Punitive fees to keep analogue meters are penalties, not a fee. The only aim is to create a condition that many will not be able to afford to pay them, and thus submit to “authority.”

People with smart meters still have them read manually. They do not pay any fees.

So for the same service, those

with analogue meters are charged high fees. There is no logic, no justice, no sound rationale.

Smart grid has a diversity of implementations, yet BC Hydro chose to ignore concerns about wireless options.

In B.C., we not only crossed the line where democracy was damaged, yet on the technological side the least beneficial option was chosen.

We all make mistakes, yet it is a sign of leadership and maturity to accept the existence of man-made issues, and take further responsibility, accountability and courage to fix them instead of staying in denial.

The government ridiculed our claims about health and safety.

The government failed to give true democratic options.

Now it is a high time for the government to accept the truth, and take right steps to correct the issues.

Editor: I have been living in Langley for 15 years. I will have to vote ‘no’ to add a .5 per cent to the sales tax.

As the article in The Times (April 8) pointed out, a train between Langley to Surrey at ground level will take 29 minutes.

Why only at ground level?

TransLink had better consider Langley in their plan. We should not have to wait 12 years for any thoughts of transit improvements, including Langley connections to Surrey.

Delay the construction of the subway in Vancouver servicing West Broad-

way, and make the priority Langley to Surrey.

Overpasses were recently erected in Surrey so that vehicle traffic is not affected by trains crossing.

The same consideration should be given to a transit line along Fraser Highway.

All residents of the Fraser Valley should consider rejection of the proposed referendum, given there has been no clear explanation of the plan for the valley, and that there are no improvements planned in the near future.

Rural sidewalks are Complaint not well represented not intended to double as parking spaces Editor: I like to walk in my neighbourhood as often as possible, and am pleased that the Township has seen fit to provide sidewalks on some of the busier roads out here in the hinterland.

However, on Sunday, a resident on 240 Street had a party, and visitors chose to park their cars right on that sidewalk. As a result, I had to walk with my back to traffic on a busy road.

Would these same people have parked

on the sidewalk in downtown Langley, or Brookswood, or Walnut Grove?

I hope the residents just south of 56 Avenue will, in the future, tell their guests that if they don’t want footprints on their vehicle, then don’t park on the sidewalk.

Thanks for allowing me the space to vent. I feel much better.

L. PHILLIPS, LANGLEY

Editor: Re: “Removal of “Heritage Poles” in Fort Langley,” (The Times, April 10).

I believe reporter Dan Ferguson has given the public a wrong impression with regard to the “complaints” in the presentation to council.

It is true that I have emphasized the “heritage” values important to Langley and the province, but that was not the major complaint against the project.

Most important is the unfairness to some of the business owners, the homeowners and the impact such a project will have on our economy, in the area of tourism.

Protests have been ongoing against the violation of the OCP and Township guidelines, as evidenced by letters to the coun-

cil and staff.

There has been not been a delay of two and one-half years.

As Mark Morrison clearly stated, the process has been the problem.

Also demonstrated accurately by Diane Simpson and Mark Forsythe was the unfair financial situation that will be experienced by the 21 homeowners in the Halidin Building and others.

The impact on our historic tourist destination will be significant.

There should be a more appropriate plan which is supported by everyone, not just by one developer.

The labour situation in B.C. is showing increased signs of strain, even before a long-promised boom in heavy construction gets set to ramp up this summer.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond has announced that B.C. is suspending its “provincial nominaBC tion” program for 90 days. This program allows the province to recommend people for federal Tom Fletcher immigration, based on skills in demand in B.C. The B.C. provincial nomination program saw its number of applications triple to 1,200 for the month of December, as the federal government cracked down on the temporary foreign worker program. Thousands of temporary foreign workers who have hit the four-year deadline are being sent home, with many of them turning to the provincial nomination track.

Bond has been pleading with Ottawa to raise B.C.’s annual provincial nomination quota from 5,000 to 7,000 or more. The three-month pause is so her ministry can add staff and speed up processing time. Backlogged applicants will still be considered, and exemptions for health care workers and a northeast pilot program are being maintained.

Even with the current slump in energy prices and before anticipated pipeline and liquefied natural gas projects start, the labour shortage in the northeast is near crisis.

The last time I was in Dawson Creek, radio ads were offering signing bonuses for qualified truck drivers. In Fort St. John, grocery and hardware retailers have come to depend on foreign workers to keep going.

While supposedly educated young people work part-time and refuse to leave the comforts of southern city life, this is the reality up north, and it’s only going to get worse.

This summer, work is scheduled to start on the Site C dam on the Peace River, the most costly construction project in B.C. history. And a union vs. non-union battle reminiscent of the old Expo 86 labour wars is underway.

The B.C. and Yukon Building Trades (BCYT) are demanding a project agreement that requires all workers on Site C to be paid their rates, and are warning of chaos on the huge project if they don’t get their way.

BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald told me that’s not all they want. They are also seeking quotas for members of their unions on a project that will be a small city of 1,700 people at peak construction.

BCYT executive director Tom Sigurdson says that while all sides acknowledge the need for foreign workers for Site C, he wants to control that too, working with their affiliated unions in the United States.

There will be non-union construction firms, some of them owned by aboriginal communities in the north. There will be contractors affiliated with the Christian Labour Association of Canada.

The BCYT hopes to set wages and conditions for them all, and influence Ottawa’s temporary foreign worker program to boot.

McDonald and Premier Christy Clark have politely told them to pound sand. Their formula would add millions in costs to the project, driving up BC Hydro rates even more than they are already rising. BC Hydro has already done dam upgrade projects using a “managed open site” model and it’s not inclined to return to the era of W.A.C. Bennett as Sigurdson demands.

Sigurdson makes a valid point that when two concrete masons compare paycheques on the Site C project and one sees he’s making $5 an hour less, he won’t be happy. He will want the higher rate, and the BCYT is taking BC Hydro to court to ensure they can recruit new members on the site.

It looks like a hot summer ahead.

Walnut Grove resident named French chevalier DAN LAMBERT WAS WITH 4TH CANADIAN ARMOURED DIVISION IN FRANCE IN 1944 FRANK BUCHOLTZ Times Reporter

Dan Lambert has seen a lot in his 97 years.

A successful professional engineer, he has been deeply involved in his profession. He has lived in several provinces, and enjoyed a successful career in communications. He has travelled extensively, and worked for a time in Sri Lanka. He still plays the violin, something he took up as a child.

A recent event in his life may be among the most significant. He has been named a chevalier of the French Legion of Honour for the role he played in liberating France from Nazi occupation in 1944. He received his medal in February.

At the time, he was a captain in the 4th Canadian Armoured Division, working in communication and signalling. He served as adjutant of his unit in division headquarters.

He landed with his division at Courseulles Sur Mer, on the French coast in Normandy, on July 19, 1944. D-Day had taken place six weeks earlier and the Allied forces had established a significant beachhead in France, but there were plenty of challenges ahead.

The Germans fought back fiercely and the war didn’t end until May 8, 1945 — 10 months later.

Courseulles Sur Mer is the location of the Juno Beach Centre, commemorating in particular the actions of Canadian soldiers who landed there on

One of his sharpest memories was when members of his division came under friendly fire. They were

D-Day and afterwards.

It was officially opened in 2003.

In a recent interview with The Times, Lambert pulled out a map of all the ground his division covered while it was in Europe, from July 19 until V-E Day on May 8, 1945. It shows that the troops advanced through France, into Belgium and Holland and then pushed into Germany. The division then headed back into Holland, where many Canadian troops were stationed when the

war ended.

The division remained there until soldiers began making their way home.

His actual work during the 10 wartime months that he was with the army on a variety of battlefields in Europe involved a wide variety of communications duties.

Much of the work was evaluating abandoned telephone lines and restoring them for use by the military.

The signal troops also set up many new lines.

Their work was cru-

cial, as it allowed commanders to communicate effectively with troops at the front.

The signallers had to keep up with troop movement and were often at or near the front.

“One of my jobs was to go to a newly-captured place and see if it could be used for our (communications) purposes.”

His division landed in France using what was known as a “mulberry.” It was a portable dock where ships could land and then

Authentic Mediterranean fare If you’re looking to embrace the Mediterranean diet and want to incorporate authentic Greek spices, and ingredients, look no further than Greek Pantry, Mediterranean Specialty Foods. Research has shown that the traditional Mediterranean Diet reduces the risk of heart disease. In fact, an analysis of more than 1.5 million healthy adults demonstrated that following a Mediterranean Diet was associated with a reduced risk of death from heart disease, cancer, and a reduced incidence of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.

Unlike at the big box stores, Anna and Yianni will explain the various ingredients and how they work in a recipe. They enjoy talking to their customers

about what ingredients are best in special dinners and they are happy to instruct you on how to use some of the products correctly. Even if you aren’t making a Greek dish, ordinary dishes can become extraordinary using just the right spice or ingredient.

The couple know many of their customers by name and they also enjoy seeing new people come into the store. “Sometimes people will come in and they are so excited to see some of the products because they recognize them from when they visited Greece, Good Times!" Anna said.

The store is 1,200 square feet and is well laid out. It’s also packed with authentic Greek, Turkish, and Italian items. There’s even a whole section containing numerous types of extra virgin olive oils , olives, balsamic vinegars and herbs.

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value.

the Canadians were, but came in low and started firing on their allies. “I could see the bombers passing at a low altitude, with the bomb bays open. I said ‘They’re dropping bombs on us.’ “In the next field was the 51st Battalion. One of the friendly fighter pilots was strafing them. I couldn’t believe it. It was incredible.�

While there were casualties, Lambert was unable to find out just how many soldiers were killed or injured in that horrific moment.

He has happier memories of staying with Dutch families in Holland, and sharing food with them. “They had very little to eat,� he said. “Anything we got from home as a parcel we shared with them. Our liquor and cigarettes were also useful for trading. They were good people “ Lambert came back to Canada in August, 1945.

He had been in the army for just under six years, as he joined in September, 1939, just fater war was declared.

He had grown up in Vancouver, so returned to B.C. He went to the University of B.C. to get an electrical engineering degree, although he remained interested in being a permanent member of the Canadian Army. But it couldn’t find a spot for him, so he took up work in the private sector, first with Canadian Pacific Telecommunications, and later with Lenkurt Electric.

He remained an active member of the reserves and retired from military service in 1968, with the rank of major.

During the Korean War, he was approached by the army and asked if he was still interested in joining the permanent force. He had just finished his degree, was working with CP and it wasn’t a good time to do so.

He was transferred to Montreal by CP and lived there for seven years. His two sons were born there. The Lambert family returned to B.C. in 1957, and he started working with Lenkurt.

He worked there for 16 years, and became ac-

In 1973, he went to work for the B.C. association as managing director, and stayed in that position until retiring in 1985.

He and his wife Grace lived in Burnaby for 38 years and moved to Langley 21 years ago. They were among the first residents of the Churchill Park townhouse development in Walnut Grove.

While his wife has passed away, he remains in good health. He regularly plays the violin and enjoys social time with other Churchill Park residents, and with his family. His two sons and their families live in the Lower Mainland.

It was through another Churchill Park resident, Leo Kurcz, that he heard the French government was honouring Canadian veterans who had fought in France in 1944.

As he is not involved with veterans’ orgaDAN LAMB ERT nizations, he had no knowledge of the project. He looked into it and supplied his relevant information to Kurcz, who did the paperwork for him. The medal arrived in the mail in early February, along with a note from the French government thanking him for his efforts in liberating France in 1944 — 71 years ago. “I never forget the army. You can’t go through that experience and wipe it out. I don’t think I missed out on much. If I didn’t get it in civilian life, I got it in the army life. And I got out alive — and that’s even better.�

Living the Life She Wants WEEKEND IN SEATTLE INSPIRED STACEY WAKELIN TO TRY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN LANGLEY B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

It only took a weekend in Seattle last November to change Stacey Wakelin’s life for the better.

But, if all goes to plan, the Langley woman’s brief sojourn across the border will continue to have a long-lasting ripple effect throughout the community.

Wakelin, 38, is married and raising two children — a son, 12 and a daughter, 9. She has owned and operated her own business.

She is the first to admit that she has a very nice existence. But when Oprah’s The Life You Want seminar came to Seattle late last year, Wakelin realized that she still had more to give, and needed to do something that would make a difference in the world at large.

Of all the sessions she attended that weekend, she found particular inspiration in two. The first was a talk given by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love.

“Even if you don’t know what you want your life to look like, take a step, start asking questions,” Wakelin recalled Gilbert telling the crowd.

A later presentation by a woman who had started a small recycling company and, in the process, created jobs for a number of homeless and disabled people, also struck a chord with Wakelin.

She returned to Langley and her everyday life, but couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more she should be doing.

As Wakelin began looking around the community for ways to help, her research led her to the local Karen community and Langley Community Service Society, which has been helping refugees from Myanmar (formerly Burma) adjust to life in Canada.

Last December, she hosted a community Christmas party in co-operation with You’ve Gotta Have Friends and LCSS. Thinking she would draw a crowd of between 30 and 50, she was stunned when 125 people turned out.

“It was so amazing,” she said. “We had three carloads of stuff and filled bags for 125 people and filled the (LCSS) pantry.”

Organizing and hosting the party was “everything I like to do, rolled into one,” said Wakelin.

“I think I’m an entrepreneur at heart; that’s a scary thing in this economy.”

Scary or not, Wakelin is eager to take the next steps on her journey.

Her plan is twofold. It begins with an allday “Crop for a Cause Fundraiser” on Saturday, May 9 and will branch into a larger effort — dubbed The Bag Works — the goal of which is to teach sewing skills as a means of earning a living.

The marathon scrapbooking session will

Su bmitte d pho to

Langley’s Stacey Wakelin will host an all-day “crop” or scrapbooking session on May 9.

Money raised will be given to Langley’s Karen community to help those still living in refugee camps in Thailand, along the border with Myanmar. She is also working on a larger project which aims to teach marketable sewing skills to people who have barriers to employment. be held at Clipper Street Scrapbooking Co. and will cost participants $25. The craft, which used to be all about photos and paper, has expanded to include cards and mini books decorated in a multitude of materials and even the use of computers, said Wakelin.

“I can’t tell you anymore what it looks like,” she said.

“The range is too wide.”

One hundred per cent of proceeds will go through the local Karen community to refugees still living in camps in Thai-

land, along the border with Myanmar, said Wakelin.

“Before I took this on, I spoke to Kate (Collins of LCSS). I said, ‘we need to do this right,’ and I asked her how the money will be handled.”

Wakelin said she is confident the money will get to its intended recipients in Thailand.

The May 9 crop will run from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Clipper Street can hold about 35 crafters. and Wakelin is asking anyone who would like to participate to pre-register.

This Saturday the final chance to see Langey Has Talent The fifth and final Langley Has Talent competition hits the stage at Christian Life Assembly this Saturday (April 18), as the top 13 contestants from the March 28 semi-finals, vie for first place and a prize of $2,500.

Tickets for the contest, which will feature a number of musi-

cal performances, along with a pair of aerial acts, a rapper and a slam poet, are now on sale for $20 each.

They are available online at langleyhastalent.com or at the Langley Times office at 20258 Fraser Hwy. The annual competition,

which began in the spring of 2011, is presented in co-operation by Langley’s four Rotary clubs. It was started as a means of showcasing local talent and to raise awareness about the need for a dedicated performing arts facility in the Langleys.

CLA is located at 21277 56 Ave.

As she prepares to host the fundraiser, Wakelin has also turned her thoughts to The Bag Works.

While the project is still in its infancy, she is in the process of designing the fabric tote bags that participants will sew, as well as gathering materials and seeking out volunteers to help with instruction.

Wakelin admits that while she is not an expert sewer herself, she has a number of friends who are able to help.

“There seems to be an abundance of people who were seamstresses in a previous life,” she said.

At the moment, she is paying for all the materials out of pocket, while trying to establish a small payroll fund, so that participants will gain experience while also earning a wage.

The program will be geared to people who have a barrier to employment, for example, someone who may recently have been homeless and is trying to get back on their feet.

“I know from owning a small business that when the resumé doesn’t look right — when there are gaps or no address — people aren’t likely to hire you,” said Wakelin.

Ideally, she’d like to pay the employees as close as possible to a living wage.

“In my head I’d like to start at $12 or $13 an hour. I don’t know how people survive on minimum wage.”

That cost will have to be worked into the price of the bags, she said.

Wakelin has already some expressions of interest in her product from a local farmer’s market organizer, who would like her to supply reusable shopping bags for sale at the market.

The support Wakelin has received from her family has made all the difference, she said.

“It’s huge. This is taking up a lot of time.”

While her mother-in-law teaches her the finer points of sewing, Wakelin’s husband is helping out at home.

“My husband is an engineer. He’s very different than I am, but he’s very supportive.

“He understands what I want to do.”

Wakelin’s two children are also on board.

“I want them involved, and they want to be,” said Wakelin. “They’re genuinely excited.”

Wakelin is hoping to have fabric and perhaps even sewing machines donated. She will also need a small space to set up.

Anyone who is interested in participating in either project is invited to contact Wakelin by email at elevatelangley@gmail. com or call 778-808-8954.

Clipper Street Scrapbooking Co. is located at 6360 202 St.

Vocal trio, Trinity, is among the acts returning to the stage at CLA this Saturday to compete in the final Langley Has Talent competition.

If you like your comedy with a bit of grit, the Langley Players’ spring production may be just the ticket.

Escape from Happiness, a dark comedy by award-winning Canadian playwright George F. Walker and directed by Helen Embury will also be the Players’ entry to the Fraser Valley Zone Festival, which will take place at the Langley Playhouse from May 17 to 23.

Running from April 16 to May 16, Escape from Happiness tells the story of the Quinns, a dysfunctional, yet highly entertaining family.

The play is set in the kitchen of a rundown house in a notso-classy part of a large city.

It is home to Nora, an oddball, middle-aged woman; her three daughters, who display a variety of neuroses; and an older man who may or may not be

the girls’ father.

When the youngest daughter’s husband is beaten up by local thugs, the family is thrown into crisis.

Two criminals of questionable intelligence and two police officers who approach policing from different perspectives help to make Escape from Happiness a very funny, black, slice-of-life comedy.

“I was drawn to this play because of the very real, endearing characters developed by the playwright,” said director Helen Embury.

“As they struggle against ‘the world out there,’ they are not always successful, and yet as we empathize with their predicaments, we can’t help but laugh at their off-the-wall logic.

“This is the first time Langley Players have produced a George

Walker play and our audiences will be in for a drama with many twists and turns.”

The cast of Escape from Happiness includes four local performers: Jacq Ainsworth as Elizabeth, Joanna Willams as Gail, Philip Hale as Junior and Mike Busswood as Tom. Escape from Happiness runs Thursdays to Sundays from April 16 to May 16 at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 St. in Brookswood. Show times are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $15. Patrons should be aware the play contains some coarse language.

For reservations, visit langleyplayers.com or buy tickets online at brownpapertickets. com. Patrons may also email reservations@langleyplayers. com or call 604-534-7469.

TUFF challenge for students, teachers GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Students at Walnut Grove Secondary had a unique twist to their school’s Terry Fox Run. After running a loop around the Walnut Grove Community Centre, students and teachers embarked on an obstacle course set up in the school’s field, culminating with the teams of five having to work their way over a 10-foot high and 16-foot wide wall dubbed TUFFWALLy. About 100 students and 20 teachers took part in what the school is planning on becoming an annual event.

“We wanted to get everyone involved and unite them in support of a great cause,” said Emma Smithson, one of the Grade 12 leadership students who helped organize the event.

“Definitely next year I think it will be even better,” added Cyrena Timmins.

With their classmates cheering the participants on, more students wished they had taken part in the obstacle part of the event, said Walnut Grove teacher Logan Kitteringham.

After running their loop, the participants had to make their way through a set of tires — while enduring garden hose spray — launch themselves on a muddy slip-and-slide, and then crawl along the ground under some ropes while avoiding water balloons. And the grand finale was working as a team to get all five members over top of the TUFFWALLy. The wall is named after the school’s Gator mascot, Wally.

Work on the TUFFWALLy has been going on since October, and was a true school collaboration, Kitteringham said.

The idea for the wall came from social studies teacher Jeff Keen and the project also involved the school’s drafting program, art program, leadership class, student council and the school administration.

Teacher Russ Newby and his drafting students designed the wall and staff and students took care of the construction.

One hundred students and 20 teachers took part in Walnut Grove Secondary’s TUFFWALLy challenge on Friday afternoon. The competitors were in teams of five, who, after taking part in the school’s Terry Fox Run, had to navigate their way through an obstacle course and then over a 10-foot high, 16-foot wide wall dubbed TUFFWALLy.

Blaze bust out of the gate The season began with a pitching gem for the Langley Blaze as Jake Polancic tossed a complete game one-hitter to defeat the White Rock Tritons 7-0.

The Blaze completed the doubleheader sweep at South Surrey Athletic Park with a 9-8 victory in game two as the tying run was gunned down at home plate.

Langley completed the opening weekend of their B.C. Premier Baseball League by splitting a doubleheader on Sunday at McLeod Park, edging the Nanaimo Pirates 9-8 before losing game two 7-3.

In the opener, Polancic struck out seven and walked three batters while the offence was keyed by Kurt Meeberg who had a double and three RBIs while Brendan Holstrom also had a double which drove in a run.

Tony Pharand, who scored three runs in the opener, scored twice more while driving in three in game two while Connor Chorpita delivered three hits, including a triple, and one RBI. The Blaze finished with six extra-base hits in the game — a pair of triples and four doubles.

Markus Gregson earned the win, scattering five runs over four innings.

Against the Pirates, the Blaze needed some late-inning heroics in the opener as they surrendered three runs in the fifth to fall behind 8-7.

But in the bottom of the sixth, Langley struck for a pair of runs for the one-run win.

Langley won despite committing five errors which led to six unearned runs.

Kristjan Storrie and Dayton Wilson each had two-run doubles while Hayden Jaco also drove in a pair of runs.

Pharand scored three more runs and after stealing five bases in the opener, swiped another pair of bases.

Aiden Mordecai earned the win, with 2.1 innings of scoreless relief.

The second game saw both teams score twice in the first inning but Nanaimo pulled ahead for good with three runs in the third for the 7-3 win.

Despite the loss, Pharand continued his solid play with another four hits and one run scored. The Blaze lead-off hitter finished opening weekend with a .692 batting average (9-for-13), seven runs scored, nine stolen bases and three RBIs.

Our Event of the Season

helping the Providence College Friars capture the NCAA Frozen Four men’s hockey national championship with a come-from-behind 4-3 victory over the Boston University Terriers.

The Terriers were up 3-2 midway through the third period of Saturday night’s championship final which was played at Boston’s TD Gardens and broadcast across Canada on TSN. With less than nine minutes remaining, the Friars’ Tom Parisi dumped the puck on net from the neutral zone and Boston University goaltender Matt O’Connor mishandled the puck and it crossed the goal-line to tie the score.

“I didn’t even see it,” admitted Monk. “I was sitting on the bench and all of a sudden I hear the horn go off.

“And obviously with that bounce, it just boosts the confidence so much more.

“We worked hard and deserved a bounce and

Two minutes later, Brandon Tanev scored the game-winner in helping Providence College win the hockey championship for the first time in school history.

The victory was a nice late birthday present for Monk, who had turned 23 earlier in the week.

And the champion-

ship was made even nicer by the fact Monk’s parents, two brothers, grandmother and girlfriend were in town for the game.

“We have worked together for the last eight months for this. To have your parents there and a whole bunch of people cheering you on was something I will remember for the rest of my life,” he added.

This is Monk’s second season with the Friars after playing in the BCHL. He suited up in 11 games as a freshman with three assists but played 32 of his team’s 41 games this past season, registering six assists.

“My freshman year was a bit of a learning year but I was able to sort of learn the way,” he explained.

“And this year, was a really good year for myself and the team as well. I was able to develop and get a chance to contribute and it took off from there.”

Monk described his game as being a defensive defenceman.

The Friars had lost last year in the regional finals and were determined to make it all the way this year.

The team made the 16-team championships as the No. 13 seed and upset No. 4 Miami (Ohio) 7-5 in the opening round and then beat No. 5 Denver 4-1 in the quarter-fi-

nals to make the Final Four.

In the semifinals on April 9, they beat No. 8 Omaha 4-1 to book their ticket to the finals against No. 3 Boston University.

The Terriers roster features freshman Jack Eichel, the Hobey Baker Award winner as college hockey’s top player, and the expected No. 2 pick in this June’s NHL Draft.

So what was it like facing such a phenom?

“He is a very good player so he is going to get those opportunities and we just had to minimize them,” Monk said.

“Just try and take away as much time and space away from him as we could (and) I think we were able to do a pretty good job of that.”

Eichel, who led the country in scoring with 26 goals and 71 points in 40 games, finished the game with one assist and six shots on goal.

Monk still has few weeks of classes and exams to go, but admitted it might be difficult to focus on academics this week. The school had a rally planned for the team yesterday (Tuesday) and they were scheduled to throw out the first pitch at the Boston Red Sox game on Saturday at Fenway Park.

Monk will return home this summer and train in Langley with Impact Hockey.
