LOTTO WINNER TRYING TO STAY ANONYMOUS - REPORT MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

The intrigue continues around the potential winner of the $50 million Lotto Max ticket, bought in Langley last March.

This time, there is a rumour that the owner of the winning ticket wants to remain anonymous and doesn’t want his or her photo or name published anywhere. An unnamed individual told a Vancouver newspaper that the ticket holder has hired a lawyer to look into that.

BC Lottery Corporation would not comment on whether that person has sought anonymity.

“Right now we are still in the prize claim verification process and we don’t have a timeline to offer on how long that will take,” said Laura Piva-Babcock, BCLC spokesperson.

However, BCLC is very clear that in order to claim Lotto winnings, a person’s picture and name will be put out to the public.

“On the back of any Lotto ticket in the rules and regulations, it says one of the conditions of paying out a prize is to have your photo and name published,” said Piva-Babcock. Those rules are also posted on the BCLC website.

The reason behind this, she explained, is to show lottery ticket customers that there are, in fact, re-

al-life winners.

“Having a person’s photo taken with the cheque is about integrity and transparency,” she said. “Can you imagine if lotto winnings were paid out but our paying lotto customers never knew about it? There would be no verification that the money went to anyone.”

BCLC said the level of interest in this $50 million winning ticket is the highest they have seen.

It was one of the largest prizes in Canada and the winning ticket was bought by someone in Langley on March 16, 2014. Almost a year went by with no one claiming the prize.

“There were so many people digging under their couch cushions, looking in their pants pockets and everywhere, hoping they had the ticket,” said Piva-Babcock.

“Then a few days before the deadline was to expire to claim the prize, a person comes forward with the winning ticket.”

Because of the intrigue, BCLC decided to make it public that the winning ticket had been produced.

Now there is a process, involving questions of the person, before the ownership of the ticket is verified.

“We don’t have a time limit on how long that will take,” she said.

A man well known to Langley police and B.C. jails for various violent crimes has been arrested again.

This time, he is accused of assaulting a stranger at Willowbrook Shopping Centre.

Wade Corey Bryant, also known as Wade McDonald, 33, was arrested in Langley last week.

He is currently in custody, charged with assault causing bodily harm. The incident took place April 2.

His co-accused Allen Jeremy Mackenzie is charged with assault causing bodily harm.

Bryant was being held in jail until his next appearance on April 30.

Langley RCMP say the victim was approached by a man who appeared confrontational. The two men exchanged words and a second man became involved in the altercation.

Witnesses called 911 because the altercation carried on for some time. Eventually, the victim was knocked to the ground and allegedly kicked by both male aggressors, said police.

QUARTERLY REPORT

Dominion Lending Centres Chief Economist Says US Style Housing Crash Unlikely in Canada Responding to recent news reports about the IMF warning of an overheated Canadian housing market, the Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres, Sherry Cooper, says the prospect of a soft landing is good news for homeowners, “there is no doubt that letting some steam out of the boiling markets is a good thing because were prices to rise rapidly for too long, a nasty correction would be likely.”

Bank of Canada Remains On Hold With Hopes of Economic Rebound As was widely expected, on Wednesday April 15, 2015 The Bank of Canada announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 3/4 per cent. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1 per cent and the deposit rate is 1/2 per cent. Core inflation, at 2 percent, is a reflection of the dampening effects of a slowing economy offset by the pass through effects of the lower dollar.

Dr. Sherry Cooper

in the January MPR); however, the second quarter is expected to see a rebound to 1.8 percent growth, revised up from earlier expectation. The Bank continues to assert that, “Underneath the effects of the oil price shock, the natural sequence of stronger non-energy exports, increasing investment, and improving labour markets is progressing.”

This will be aided by an improvement in the U.S. economy and the easing in financial conditions.

Chief Economist for The Bank is hopeful Dominion Lending Centres that global growth will strengthen in coming months to 3-1/2 percent—consistent There remains a good deal of uncertainty with their forecast in January’s Monetary in this sequence: While March Policy Report (MPR)—as a direct result employment in Canada improved of central bank rate cuts and quantitative substantially, business investment easing in Europe. Lower commodity remains disappointing, manufacturing is prices will boost growth in some weak—especially in the auto sector—and countries. The Bank also believes that the improvement in trade has been less strong growth will resume in the United than expected.

States after a weak first quarter, which, of Real GDP growth is projected to rebound course, has yet to be confirmed. in the second quarter and subsequently First quarter growth in Canada has been strengthen to average about 2 1/2 per revised downward to 0.0 percent in the cent on a quarterly basis until the middle April MPR (from 1.5 percent growth of 2016. The Bank expects real GDP

growth of 1.9 per cent in 2015, 2.5 per cent in 2016, and 2.0 per cent in 2017.

The Bank also believes the risks to the outlook are balanced, an upgrade since the last policy meeting in March. As a result of this view, they judge that the current degree of monetary stimulus is appropriate and have left rates unchanged.

I am cautiously optimistic that the Bank has got it right, but I continue to believe that the risks are on the downside for the economy and inflation. My forecast for Canadian growth this year is 1.5 percent-below the Bank’s 1.9 percent forecast.

Much hinges on the U.S. economy. The April MPR revised down its U.S. growth forecast for this year from 3.2 percent to 2.7 percent.

Cooper, one of North America’s most respected economic experts, points out that existing home sales were down 2 percent year-over-year in January, but were still up moderately outside of Alberta. Later data suggests that in February, sales rose month-over-month as gains in Toronto and Vancouver offset faltering markets in other parts of the country. More recently, Sales of existing homes in Canada rose in March from February, led by gains in the big Toronto and Vancouver markets.

Sales were even up in Calgary where sales had slowed in recent months in the wake of the oil price decline.

“With home ownership at a record high of 70 percent of households and interest rates at record lows, national sales growth will stabilize at a modest pace,” says Cooper. “However, steady demand from immigrants and non-resident purchasers in Toronto and Vancouver should continue to support housing markets. In addition, Millennials are in their first-time homebuying years. While many might be priced out of the single-family home market, many will take the plunge into condos.”

On the supply side, housing starts and completions are down and are now trending slightly above household formation rates. Taking replacement demand into consideration, the current pace of overall home construction is at appropriate levels to meet long-run demand. We have also seen evidence of a recent increase in dedicated rental housing construction as institutional investors are providing increased funding in this long-overlooked area of the housing market. Condos have effectively replaced traditional apartment units and are an affordable alternative for those who are priced out of Toronto’s detached housing market. Rental vacancy rates remain at extreme lows in Vancouver and Toronto.

Cooper says the bottom line is that there is little evidence of an upcoming U.S.-style housing crash anywhere in Canada, even in the hardest hit energycentered markets.

Minister gets technology tour of WGSS PETER FASSBENDER SHOWN INNOVATIVE LEARNING PROGRAMS OFFERED TO STUDENTS GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

“We try to hide learning in cool stuff.”

Those were the words of Walnut Grove teacher Ryan Radford.

Radford is a computer science teacher, including instructing a video production class.

And his classroom — which is shared by a digital sculpting class taught by Rob Griesbeck — was hosting Education Minister Peter Fassbender and a small group of visitors on Friday morning.

The tour was a chance to see some of the innovative technology-based learning programs taking place in the Langley School District, and especially Walnut Grove Secondary.

“Students love the courses we offer and most of them appreciate that our school is very different from other schools,” Griesbeck said, adding that they offer more than 20 computer classes.

“Several students have shared with me that they came to Walnut Grove specifically for our computer program.”

Following the visit to the classroom, the group had a chance to chat with a teacher who has embraced the changes technology brings, despite not having much of a technological background herself.

“Change is hard for a lot of teachers,” said Ravinder Sahota, a math and chemistry teacher who admitted she loved her overhead projector.

But a message from her principal, George Kozlovic, has proved influential.

And the feedback from parents has been great.

“They like seeing their kids excited about learning,” she said.

“Our courses give students a foundation to build on,” Griesbeck said. “They can take any of our programs for free in high school (and) often they discover a topic they had no idea they’d like.”

“We live in such a great area with the TV/film/video game industry so close (that) we have several students every year that go onto some post-secondary training and are working in the industry within a year,” he added.

The challenges the teachers face are keeping up to date with the ever-evolving software programs as well as money to fund it all.

But Griesbeck said the school’s Parent Advisory Council has been great, as has the school’s administration for finding money in the budget. He also thanked companies like Autodesk which have started making their software available for free to schools.

The group also saw a pair a presentations from teacher Logan Kitteringham as well as some of his students about two programs in the school.

One is the Leadership in Athletics class, which is focused on empowering Grade 11 and 12 students to help staff. The class has been responsible for running intramurals, fostering school spirit and promoting and organizing events. They have also started a store in the school, the Chomp Shop, which sells school clothing.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender chats with video production and digital sculpting students Manuel Trick (left to right), Rasheed Qawasmeh, Ian Stewart and Noah Gaudreault at Walnut Grove Secondary on Friday morning. Fassbender toured the school to learn about technology-based learning programs.

“He said ‘take the risk, take the leap and you will learn from it,’” Sahota said.

Sahota, now a digital literacy coach at the school, said collaboration is key among teachers.

She talked about working with the home economics teacher on having the students produce videos of their cooking projects.

This was just one example of the changing role of teachers as

they become more facilitators and guides in the classroom.

Sahota also said collaboration amongst teachers is essential, as is coming in prepared with new teaching methods.

Schools keeping up with student numbers, district says SECRETARY-TREASURER TELLS COUNCIL THE SYSTEM HAS ACCURATELY FORECAST INCREASES D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The Langley School District is keeping up with a rapidly-growing number of students and the computer modelling it uses to predict that growth has been accurate, Township council was told Monday.

But that doesn’t mean parents can expect their children will be able to walk to

school, secretary-treasurer David Green said.

Parents can be assured their children will attend schools within the catchment areas set by the district, but they may have to be driven to school or take a school bus, Green explained.

“We may not be able to accommodate them in particular schools, but we can ac-

commodate them in the district,” Green said.

Green was responding to questions from council after giving a slide show presentation to explain how the district uses computer software and sample neighbourhoods to generate projections of student growth in the district, numbers it uses to lobby the provincial government to justify

new school construction.

Those numbers have been “remarkably close” to the actual increase in students, Green said.

Most schools have been within 20 or 30 students of their projected populations, Green said.

A scaled-down version of a rejected proposal to fill in a former horse track on a Langley farm was endorsed

by Township council on Monday, April 13.

All Seasons Mushrooms farm owner Frank Moscone reduced the amount of fill he intends to use to reclaim a horse oval on his property at 3468 224 Street for agriculture.

It was originally going to be 54,900 cubic metres, or around 8,000 truck loads, an amount considered disruptive by some neighbours.

By adjusting the design and mixing in some of the mushroom manure generated on-site, the revised All Season proposal would use 47,400 cubic metres or around 7,000 truck loads, a 14 per cent reduction.

Moscone originally said he might use the reclaimed land to grow hay, but told the meeting it could also be for blueberry growing.

“All I want to do is make that land acceptable for farming,” Moscone told council.

As it is, the unused 10-acre oval has “very poor soil” and is “basically a dead resource,” Moscone said.

While critics and some on council still

had doubts about the amount of material and concerns about the impact of the truck traffic, Councillor Michelle Sparrow spoke for the majority when she said the plan will reclaim agricultural land for agricultural purposes and that was a good thing.

“I think that’s what we should be encouraging in this community,” Sparrow said.

Mayor Jack Froese agreed, calling Moscone “a good farmer.”

The new plan was approved by a 6-3 vote of council, with Councillors Petrina Arnason, Charlie Fox and David Davis opposed.

With the Township endorsement, the

proposal now goes to the Agricultural Land Commission, the provincial regulatory agency in charge of protected farmland within the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The horse training track is part of a former equestrian facility that closed down before All Seasons purchased the property.

The company website describes All Seasons as one of the most prominent “certified organic” mushroom production and marketing companies on the West Coast.

The Langley-based company operates multiple production and distribution operations in B.C. and Alberta.

DAN FER GUS ON L an gley Tim es

Attorney General and Justice Minister Suzanne Anton kicked off Auto Crime Enforcement Month in Langley by unveiling a list of the top 10 most-wanted vehicle thieves earlier in April.

Warning issued about car keys as vehicle thefts take a jump D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re por t e r

A sudden and substantial jump in vehicle theft cases added a note of urgency to the annual rollout of Auto Crime Enforcement Month in Langley.

“Unfortunately, the statistics are creeping up again,” Attorney General and Justice Minister Suzanne Anton told an April 2 press conference.

Anton was unveiling posters of the top 10 most wanted car thieves inside the high-security hangar that houses police helicopter Air One at the Langley airport.

Police statistics show vehicle theft jumped by a third (32.64 per cent) in B.C. in 2014 after several years of steady declines.

In the Lower Mainland, the number of vehicle thefts rose 39 per cent, to 9,399 incidents.

That works out to an average of roughly 25 thefts every day.

No single reason was given for the increase at the press conference, but both Anton and Inspector Peter Jadis, the officer in charge of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) focused on

an increasingly popular tactic thieves are using to steal cars and trucks.

Instead of forcing their way into a vehicle and using tools to start it, they are stealing keys and the wireless fobs many vehicles use instead of door keys and sometimes ignition keys.

Jadis said one in five vehicles are stolen with their owners’ keys.

“People will leave their keys, smart keys and valet keys in desks, lockers, or even in the console of their vehicle,” Jadis said.

“This defeats the built-in security features and allows thieves to simply drive away.”

This year’s auto theft month message is “treat your keys like cash” One of the top 10 car thieves is wanted for alleged crimes in Langley.

There are five outstanding warrants for Laetitia Angelique Acera, 22, who is wanted by police in Langley, New Westminster, Surrey, Ridge Meadows, and Burnaby on charges that include possession of stolen property, dangerous oper-

IMPACT HAS ISSUED A LIST OF TIPS TO DISCOURAGE VEHICLE THEFT: • Do not leave your vehicle unattended while it is running • Do not leave your smart keys, valet or emergency keys in the vehicle while it’s unoccupied • Remember that your vehicle is a display case for thieves.

Items that you overlook as trivial such as loose change, bags, garage door openers and mail may have value to a thief.

• Keep items out of sight and secure your vehicle when you leave it • Use an anti-theft device such as a steering wheel lock or an after-market immobilizer, especially on older model vehicles • For more information on theft prevention and to see the “Top 10 most stolen vehicles” and “Top 10 items stolen from vehicles” visit www.baitcar. com.

There is a new scam in town. This time, fraudsters are pretending to be Langley City officials asking you to pay outstanding property taxes.

The City of Langley said it doesn’t initiate any automated phone calls, especially asking anyone to pay property taxes.

The City’s advice is “just hang up.”

Numerous phone scams continue to plague residents and business owners.

With tax season here, the Revenue Canada phone scam is still active, said Langley RCMP. Someone claims to be from Revenue Canada, and claims the person has to pay owed sums of money to the government

agency.

The BC Hydro scam involves someone calling a Langley business claiming to be from BC Hydro. The scammer claims the last electrical bill wasn’t paid and if it isn’t paid immediately, the power will be cut off. Their hope is the business person will pay them through a paid credit card.

Another scam is the grandchild scam, which targets the elderly.

A person calls claiming to be the grandson of whomever and needing cash wired to cover getting out of jail or paying for a tow, etc.

Langley RCMP ask that people do report when these calls are made by calling the non-emergency line at 604-532-3200.

Five awards for The Times in North American editorial contest The Times has received five awards in the annual editorial contest sponsored by the Local Media Association.

Black Press newspapers in the Lower Mainland received a total of 23 awards, and Paula Carlson, editor of the Surrey-North Delta Leader, was named editor of the year by the association.

The competition is for community newspapers, both daily and non-daily, across North America. Entry categories include virtually all editorial aspects of the community newspaper business.

The Times won first place for best environmental coverage, for newspapers over 20,000 circulation, for “Painted, By Numbers.”

This feature by Brenda Anderson, published June 10, 2014, focused on biologist Andrea Gielens’ work with the

Greater Vancouver Zoo in preserving western painted turtles, which are under threat in Langley.

The Times also received four second place awards — for its editorial page; entertainment and lifestyles section; for feature series and sports writing.

The feature series award was for a series called “Parental pressures in a fast-paced digital world.” This series of three stories by Monique Tamminga looked at the challenges in parenting today, due to rapidly-changing technology. The stories ran on June 10, June 23 and July 28, 2014.

The sports writing award was for the story “Heart like a wheel,” about Canadian wheelchair basketball player Jack Kosterman. Written by Gary Ahuja, it was published on Sept.

The victim was taken to hospital to be treated for his injuries.

Bryant was released from jail in December after serving a portion of his 15-month sentence for obstructing justice.

He pleaded guilty to the crime, which involved obstructing justice during his trial for beating a man with a bat

at the Artful Dodger in 2011.

His co-accused Robert Wright, a career criminal, also pleaded guilty to obstructing justice.

For the bat attack on a 19-year-old Langley man outside the Artful Dodger in September 2011, Bryant was given an 18-month jail sentence last February.

In that crime, the victim and his friends didn’t know Bryant.

They were at the pub to shoot pool.

Bryant came at the stranger’s vehicle with a bat and the man got out.

The victim was hit in the head with a bat, which caused a brain injury.

When the victim was rushed to hospital, he was put in a drug-induced coma.

The victim had to learn how to talk, eat and walk again.

And the group heard about the school’s Gator Pod program which encourages students to develop the skills necessary for success in the 21st century: critical thinking, collaboration, oral and written communication, information analysis and use of technology.

Afterwards, Fassbender said nothing he heard really surprised him and that he is happy with the future of education in the province.

“I don’t think anything really surprised me because a lot of these messages I have been hearing, this is what is going on in the rest of the world as well,” Fassbender said.

“Yet British Columbia is one of the leaders, we have some of the best outcomes. But we can’t sit on our laurels, we really have to be willing to think out of the box and be creative and find ways to allow students to find themselves and their passions and what they want to do.”

“What I heard today is what the future of education is,” he added.

“That is helping students find their individual passions, creating an environment where it is OK to try new things and think out of the box.

“And I see an environment where students work together, they collaborate, teachers collaborate, I think those are all the future of education to meet all those needs.”

Following the visit to Walnut Grove, Fassbender attended a K to 12 Innovation Forum at the Langley Events Centre where hundreds of B.C. teachers, administrators, parents and other leaders in the community learned about the changes coming with 21st century learning.

Among other things, the system tracks a sample of more than 400 single family houses in the Yorkson neighbourhood within the rapidly-growing Willoughby area of the township, carrying out a yearly survey of the number of school-age children.

“It is a limited sample,” Green conceded under questioning by council, but he doubted the numbers would be any more accurate if a larger sample was used, and that would be a “time-consuming” process.

Asked about the new middle school in Yorkson, which is already over capacity, Green said there was available room in other schools within the district.

“They can be accommodated elsewhere, somehow,” Green said.

“Lynn Fripps is not filled right now,” he noted, even though the new school came online three years ago.

Building another school is up to the provincial ministry of education, and it is not likely to happen any time soon, Green indicated.

“We don’t have the funding to build an elementary school [in Willoughby] right now,” Green said.

“The ministry is the defining factor.”

The school district was invited to explain how it generates student size projections because some members of council were concerned about the ability of the district to accommodate population growth in rapidly-expanding neighborhoods.

While Green took questions, Langley Board of Education chair Rob McFarlane and district superintendent of schools and CEO Suzanne Hoffman watched from the audience.

The potential winner of a $50 million lottery ticket that was sold in Langley in March, 2014 apparently wants to stay anonymous.

That’s according to an anonymous source who spoke to a Vancouver newspaper.

The source went on to say that the ticket holder (who isn’t the lottery winner yet, as B.C. Lottery Corporation says it is still conducting an investigation of all circumstances around the winning ticket) has retained a lawyer and will be fighting in court for the right to remain anonymous.

That will be an interesting court battle. Given that one generally has to use a name in a court action, which is a public matter (publication bans can be granted by the courts under certain conditions), the anonymity drive may be blown right out of the water.

Word of this desire for anonymity fits in with the other circumstances around this ticket. Despite many pleas, the potential winner only came forward a few days before the one-year deadline to redeem the prize.

The news that the apparent holder of a $50 million winning ticket wants to be anonymous has naturally started lots of conversations. Most people may not be aware that claiming a lottery prize comes with the proviso that the BCLC has the right to take the winner’s photo and publicize the win.

While BCLC says this protects the integrity of the process, which it does, it also helps to promote the idea that winning big is possible. It perpetuates the sales pitch that “dreams can come true” simply by buying a lottery ticket.

Advertising promoting that idea do not include the actual odds of winning a big prize, which are infinitesmal.

Very few lotteries run by provinces or states in North America allow for anonymity, although a few do. BCLC has granted anoynymity itself in the past, but only in very rare and exceptional circumstances.

It will be interesting to see if the holder of this potentially winning ticket does manage to preserve his or her anonymity. If that does happen as a result of a court decision, it may force BCLC and, quite likely other Canadian lottery corporations, to change their longstanding rules about who can actually win a prize.

Question

of the week

Will there be more dumping of garbage on roadsides because of the higher fees at transfer stations?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

A campaign speech they

The federal Conservatives put forth their budget last Tuesday, and few political watchers were surprised by what it contained. Many of the promises and appropriations contained therein were spelled out well before the budget hit the floor of Parliament.

While every budget can (and should) be seen as a campaign document — in that being responsible for the public’s financial contributions to our society is a government’s main role — we should be wary of budgets that directly precede elections.

Many of the promises in this particular Conservative government’s budget only happen if they are re-elected, making them less budget items and more of a platform on which they are campaigning.

An example is the additional funding being made available to municipalities to improve transit infrastructure, which is slated to begin flowing in 2017.

They also announced they have lowered the tax rate on small businesses, and teased that “our government will reduce the tax rate further, all the way down to nine per cent by 2019,” Finance Minister Joe Oliver said in his speech, again assuming his party is re-elected.

It might have been nice to see some commitment from the federal government in terms of diversifying our energy sector, so we’re not relying so heavily on the price of oil to drive our economy. The federal government’s coffers are so heavily dependent on contributions from the oil and gas sector that dropping oil prices demanded a recalculation of the entire structure of the budget, delaying its release, in fact. Then again, diversifying doesn’t play well with the Conservative base.

And that’s what this budget is. It’s the government saying, “If you like these things, make sure you do your part to help us get re-elected.”

It’s not a budget, really. It’s more of a campaign speech.

Hall needs help Editor: On Thursday, May 21, the Willoughby Community Hall Society is holding its annual general meeting at our hall, 20809 83 Ave., at 7:30 p.m.

Traditionally, this meeting has been attended by very few people.

Most have been members and directors for more years than they care to count.

This year, we are hoping for a change. The need for new members is becoming more urgent.

The hall is a very busy place. It provides a venue for weddings, anniversary parties, other social gatherings, a meeting place for Scouts and Guides, the women’s and community institute and the Langley Crib Club, along with many other community functions.

We are appealing to all groups in the Willoughby community to send a representative to the AGM, in order to become a member or

director of the society. We need people to become interested in the issues surrounding the maintenance and operation of the hall, for the benefit of the whole community.

The present executive has been taking care of running the hall for a long time. We would like to see some younger members of the community step forward and share in these responsibilities.

If we are unable to full a slate of directors, the possibility of closing the hall and turning it over to the Township of Langley would mean a loss of availability to all groups and organizations.

We ask for renewed interest in running this wonderful facility which has been part of Willoughby since 1937.

KARL DREISE, PRESIDENT, WILLOUGHBY COMMUNITY HALL SOCIETY

Garbage problems Editor: We have been tormented in Willoughby with dumping of assorted garbage. As per recent news in The Times, this is now finally being recognized as becoming a huge and varied cost to the Township overall. What to do now? We previously suggested installing cameras in strategic areas for this and other crimes occurring here.

How easy is the Township making it for residents to dispose of their garbage? We have lived here 22 years and are told we are allowed four large items per year to be picked up by Sierra Waste.

When we requested this one and only time to have an awning picked up, we were refused when referred by the Township to Sierra Waste.

When I questioned the logic of paying taxes for large item pickup, the Sierra Waste woman’s flippant response was that it had nothing to do with us paying taxes. As I understand the reason for Sierra Waste’s engagement at all is due to its employment by the Township, and payment via its residents. She told me to get in

touch with the Township.

The Township referred me to Debbie Fleming, solid waste co-ordinator. She advised this was not a qualifying item. I questioned this, and was told only seven per cent of Township residents used this service. This is quite astounding.

With the longevity of appliances and furniture reduced from what used to be 20 years to five years, this figure does not make sense.

When I asked what the cost was for this extra pick-up ‘perk’ in this contract, she said there was no tangible dollar amount given.

If the service is underused, the question would be how can we make better use of it. One way would be to allow a variety of large items to be picked up which would serve a more comprehensive purpose. At this rate, there is plenty of room to pick up more mattresses and other large articles thrown on the side of the road. The service should be as essential as any.

The Canadian War Memorials Fund commissioned war artist Richard Jack to paint this impression of Canadian troops at the 2nd Battle of Ypres in 1915.

Pivotal event for Canada Editor: I would like to thank The Times and particularly Warren Sommer for the article (The Times, April 24) on the Second Battle of Ypres in 1915.

I would like to express my appreciation for your acknowledgement and description of the Canadian contribution in the Second Battle of Ypres. I have noticed that your paper always takes care to inform its readers about various important events in Canadian military history, and shine a light on the contributions of soldiers that came from the Langley area.

I have long had a keen interest in the First World War and have recently devoted most of my reading to the exploits of the Canadian Corps. Every time I read or watch a story about what our Canadian soldiers did in battles such as the Second Battle of Ypres, Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele and

the final 100 Days, I am struck by the sheer determination, courage and loyalty to their comrades that the Canadian soldiers had.

This is not unique to Canadian soldiers of course, but during a time in our country’s history when we were forming an identity separate from that of Great Britain, I really think those Canadian boys’ dependence upon each other in horrific circumstances provided a catalyst for Canada to move forward as a proud nation of Canadians, instead of simply a member of the Commonwealth.

Thank you for sharing an important Canadian story with us.

Ports major cause of congestion Editor: No wonder our roads and bridges are congested. Our harbour serves as a major transportation hub for the rest of Canada.

All those goods land at the ports, and are then transported via truck, rail, ferry, and courier to the rest of B.C. and Canada. To put the burden on the taxpayers of the Lower Mainland to cough up tax

money is just wrong.

TransLink should go after the feds for further funding. Why should we carry the bill when the rest of B.C. and Canada benefits?

Trailer, gear worth $8,000 stolen from photographers A pair of local photographers had a trailer and equipment valued at more than $8,000 stolen from them sometime in the last three weeks.

The black trailer, which has “Heaton Photography” written on the side, was stolen from a storage facility in Langley City sometime between March 22 and April 20.

The trailer itself is worth approximately $5,000 and the equipment inside is worth another $3,000.

LCMS founders to be given Nominate a Langley Environmental Hero honorary KPU degrees UNIVERSITY WILL BESTOW DEGREES UPON FIVE WHO STARTED LANGLEY MUSIC SCHOOL 45 YEARS AGO The Langley Community Music School wouldn’t exist today if it weren’t for the passion, dedication and love of music of its five founders.

Linda Bickerton-Ross, Peter Ewart, Dr. Keith Lamont, Marilyn Lamont and Leonard Woods founded the school — one of the leading institutions of its kind — more than 45 years ago.

This spring, at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, before an audience of graduating students in the Faculty of Arts, along with family and friends, each founder will be awarded an honorary degree.

It’s the first time KPU has bestowed individual honorary degrees on a collection of recipients, and the first time the university has awarded degrees posthumously.

Both Ewart and Woods have passed away.

“Langley Community Music School has advanced music education and indeed opportunities for countless music students in Langley and the wider region,” said KPU president and vice chancellor Alan Davis.

“This is entirely due to the work of those first founders and their incredible spirit, fore-

thought and determination.”

While collectively honoured

by KPU, each of the five founders made significant individual contributions to the development of LCMS. It was Ewart who dreamed of developing an arts centre on his five-acre property in the City of Langley more than 45 years ago.

He designed and built an elegant model but his application to erect the structure was ultimately denied by the council of the day over concerns about zoning.

Council suggested there may be a more suitable location in Langley City Park, and sealing the deal was Lamont’s offer to finance construction of the arts centre, and donate it to the City.

In 1969, Ewart and Lamont successfully reapplied to council for an arts centre in Langley City Park and, by 1970, the Langley Arts Centre became a reality, and the Langley Community Music School became its foremost tenant.

Bickerton-Ross, Lamont and Woods subsequently introduced the quality music education program that matured

into one of the most significant music schools in the province.

“Without the founders’ vision, collaborative effort, high degree of co-operation, diligence and perseverance, the arts centre and ultimately the music school may never have come to fruition,” said Barry Hill, past president of LCMS, who nominated the five founders.

The LCMS connection to KPU goes back to the late 1980s with the two institutions discussing collaborative possibilities while growing apace on their own.

LCMS students who wish to pursue a career in music as well-rounded musicians have the option of KPU’s bachelor of music in musical arts degree program, among other opportunities in the field of music.

As LCMS and KPU have grown, areas of co-operation have widened to include chamber music, coaching, adjudications, reciprocal concerts, audience development and a range of associated musical activities.

The ceremony will be held on Wednesday, May 20, beginning at 2:30 p.m. at the KPU Surrey campus, 12666 72 Ave. A general reception will follow.

If you know of one or more local heroes who have taken the initiative to do something positive for the environment, we’d like to hear about it. Please briefly describe the activities of the person, group or business, and tell us why you believe they are environmental heroes in Langley.

The winners will also be recognized on June 6, 2015 at the Fort Langley National Historic Site.

Create an Outdoor Room

Shelley Levis

Extending your living space is easy; all you need to do is look out your window to find more square footage. Even if all you have is a small balcony or a postage stamp for a yard, you can get creative and transform it into a place for entertaining with close friends or a relaxing space to curl up with a good book.

The first step in deciding what to do with your outdoor room is to take inventory of the good, the bad and the ugly of the space you are planning to re-create. Is there a beautiful view of the sunset through some trees to your right? A large RV that you wish you didn’t have to look at to the left?

Your view of your outdoor room includes the areas that extend beyond your property lines.

Taking these into consideration is important as you decide what you want to frame and what you want to block from your line of sight.

For instance, if you’re working with a small balcony, you can easily screen out something undesirable by placing a single row of potted evergreens along the side of a railing. A trellis with a climber does wonders in adding a green screen or mount a stained glass window that can be suspended from hooks between the roof and railing for a shabby chic look.

Perhaps it’s not a thing you’re trying to block, but a sound. If you’re near a noisy highway or live in a row home complex, noises from

cars and neighbours can be a distraction. Adding a simple small water feature with a gurgler can create a white noise that drowns out sounds you prefer not to hear.

There are plenty of ready-made features in any size that can fit your space but it’s just as easy to create one out of a container or pot with a closed bottom. Inexpensive pump kits are available at most nurseries and hardware stores, making it a cinch to customize your water feature on a budget you can afford.

Plants are a must for an outdoor room. They can serve both as a screen or a noise reducer and they add vitality to the space. They also add another important aspect to the enjoyment of being outdoors; they add the element of air. We can feel and smell the wind, but we cannot see it. Plants and trees share this invisible presence with us by gently swaying back and forth or strenuously bending to its force.

A feathery grass swooning in the breeze or the leaves of a vine being tickled by the wind is very relaxing when enjoying time in your outdoor space. Remember to look up from your laptop or book from time to time to absorb this life force; your space should be a place that soothes all of your senses.

Not all gardens are created equal when it comes to exposure, some of you will have full sun or no sun at all. There are plenty of resources on line that will give you a list of plants that can be successfully grown in your space. Working with your aspect is the key to saving time and money when choosing plants that will survive

Home Garden

Outdoor Room happily in your outdoor room.

Regardless of the intended use of the space, you should experiment in growing some food even if it’s just some herbs for throwing into salads or in marinades for the grill. Vertical growing and small space gardens can produce a ton of food over a season and there are so many products on the market now that can help you achieve this.

Using your outdoor room to produce food is a rewarding experience and a good excuse to get outside. I once had someone tell me that a tomato bought from a store tastes the same as a tomato pulled from a garden. I utterly disagree!

The difference between the two is that the tomato grown in a home garden was tended to with love. When you eat that tomato, you have an emotional attachment to it which makes it all the more enjoyable to consume.

Creating a relationship with vegetables grown in your garden will transform the way you eat food. Instead of unconsciously shoveling mouthfuls into your face, you will mindfully appreciate every bite, nourishing both your body and your soul.

Decorating your space is the best part once you have the other bones in place. If you have a large open deck, try looking into triangular sails that can provide both interest and shade at an affordable price. Since most fasten with clips, they are easy to undo in snap if the wind picks up.

If you have an overhead roof, soften the lines by adding curtains to the posts. These can be bought or try making some of your own by simply using water resistant shower curtains.

The bonus here is that you can easily sew a quick cover for an outdoor pillow out of the same material.

Your outdoor room will be used at all times of the day, so lighting is important. The light cast from a wall sconce isn’t enough to create an ambiance. The most obvious way is with candles or lanterns but you can get creative with the style you choose to suit your space.

Are you into a nautical theme? Add sand and a few seashells to a dish with a large blue candle or Mason jar with tea lights.

Try stringing mini lights back and forth overhead or turn wine bottles into torches with a wick and some lamp fuel. There is no shortage of solar-powered lights and illuminated garden gazing balls available today, so have fun lighting up the night and setting a mood that makes your guests feel comfortable.

As the night cools down, you may feel a heat source is necessary. If you have a backyard area that allows you to have a small fire pit, you can either purchase one or create your own easily out of cinder blocks. Impress your guests with a s’more bar offering delicious coconut crusted marshmallows and squares of caramel-filled chocolate bars for a decadent after-dinner treat.

If your space doesn’t allow for an open fire, there are some decorative firepots on the market today that give you the effect and look amazing in a nighttime setting. Buy a stack of inexpensive throws and pass them out to your guests when it starts to get chilly, so they can cuddle into their chairs and continue to enjoy good wine and good company.

Head out to your outdoor space right now, take inventory and start creating a wish list on how you can transform that area into an exterior living room you can use and enjoy. There is simply nothing more relaxing than spending time in your own home, under the stars.

Growing Up Shelley Levis

Row homes and townhouses are popping up everywhere in the City of Langley.

Fields where cattle once grazed are now communities where children are being raised. If you are one of these homeowners, then you already know the challenges of working with a small garden or a postage stamp for a yard. You don’t have to let the lack of exterior space limit your ability to grow fruit and vegetables; you just have to grow up!

Pinterest is the go to place to get ideas on everything from recipes to easy DIY’s and there is no shortage of garden advice floating through the myriad of eye-catching photos in the feed. Growing vertically has become very popular in the small space garden genre but one should be aware that not all the methods are necessarily safe.

The first offender I want to address is this idea of using wood pallets for vertical gardening. Never, ever use one of these for growing edible plants. Wood pallets are often treated with preservatives to prevent rot and carry all kinds of cargo including toxic chemicals. There is no way to be absolutely certain that the pallet you found in a junk pile isn’t going to leach harmful

chemicals into the soil of the plants that feed you and your family.

Reusing plastic containers as planters is another method that needs examination.

Recycling codes can be found on the bottom of plastic containers and bottles. 1, 2, 4 and 5 are considered safer plastics, while 3, 6 and 7 should be completely avoided.

Plastics that contain BPA’s or other harmful toxins do not make ideal planters as they can be released when exposed to heat and UV rays.

Gutter gardening is a great use of vertical space. Strawberries, mesclun greens, and herbs do great in these trough shaped planters when attached to a wall or fence.

Be cautious of using salvaged gutters that may have lead paint, galvanized steel is your safest option here.

Multi pocket planters made from wool or breathable cotton is widely available on the market today. These vertical gardens can grow a lot of food and be hung from a railing or an exterior wall. A simple DIY version is to use an inexpensive cloth shoe holder that’s perfect for a salad garden.

Vining fruits and vegetables can be trained to grow upward. Try growing cucumbers or zucchini’s on a trellis in a

planter for maximum use of space. Grow a sunflower in a pot and add a seed or two of beans to climb up its stock. Create hanging baskets of mixed lettuces with some trailing nasturtiums whose blossoms can be added to salads for a beautiful edible addition that will impress your guests.

Think outside the pot when it comes to plants and look at ways you can use your space no matter how small it is, to grow a big garden.

Maintaining a lawn is a lot of work. We have to weed and feed it in spring then water and cut it all summer long. These practices require time, money and products that are not exactly friendly to our environment. Then there is yet another threat on the horizon and it’s one that works silently under ground destroying your perfectly green, high maintenance lawn.

Meet the European Chafer Beetle. It has already reached epidemic proportions in Burnaby and Coquitlam and it’s coming our way. The beetle isn’t very big, only about 1cm long and it’s coppery brown in color. But it is not the adult beetle that’s the problem; it’s their young.

The adults mate in May and the females lay eggs in your turf. These develop into nasty looking “C” shaped white grubs about 2cm long. The shorter you like to keep your grass the better it is for the female to get those eggs in contact with the earth. The grubs then begin feasting on the fibrous grass roots killing your turf as they go.

You won’t notice the damage right away, but you will see that the grass begins to stop growing and then it will eventually begin to turn brown and die. The most obvious evidence of an infestation will be when the raccoons and crows discover a delicious meal hiding in your lawn and begin tearing it up. As unsightly as this is, they are actually doing you a favor by gobbling up the grubs. So let them do their work as your allies on the first attack of the infestation.

You can check your lawn for grubs before the environmental critter control team moves in by simply peeling back a square foot of turf to see what lies beneath. Laurelle Olfdord-Down, an expert horticulturist from Art’s Nursery explains that if you find more than 5 grubs occupying that space, then you have a problem. There are chemical controls out there, but these won’t just kill the grubs. They will also destroy the subterranean eco system including worms and other beneficial creepy crawlies in your lawn.

The eco-friendly solution is to apply a slurry of Nematodes to the surface of the infested areas. This should be done in July before the grubs turn into adults and start the cycle all over again. Nematodes are microscopic warriors that attack and kill grubs leaving other creatures alone and they are the most effective biological control we have that is safest on our planet.

Visit a local nursery and chat with the knowledgeable staff to learn more on this and other methods to control the Chafer Beetle. You can also try adjusting your weekend grass cutting routine to help prevent the problem in the first place. Simply raising the height of your lawnmower so that the grass is taller is one easy solution to deter an infestation. This practice will also help your lawn stay greener longer once the hot weather of summer hits.

With all the care and pest problems associated with maintaining a lawn, perhaps you should consider other grass alter-

natives. The City of Vancouver is, in fact you may have already noticed artificial turf popping up everywhere. Don’t knock the idea just yet; there are some situations where artificial grass is the perfect solution to a garden design dilemma.

I was amazed at the sight of how much artificial turf was used at the BC Home and Garden Show this year. Sunken areas with an outdoor fireplace are much more cozier with a grassy green carpet even if it is faux. Areas like these that are inaccessible to lawnmowers and other equipment may benefit from an artificial turf application. Perhaps you have a shady backyard in your townhouse where grass simply will not grow, a faux lawn at least provides a soft clean area for your kids to play. If you were to use it with square paver stones down the side of your house you could basically call this area maintenance free.

It’s not for everyone and some of you will argue the environmental impact of manufacturing it. However, the jury is still out on that since we don’t have any substantial studies that compare the maintenance of real turf, (fertilizers, gas mowers, waste removal, etc.) to that of the footprint of producing artificial turf.

I am not a lawn advocate; I would prefer to have a garden full of edible food and flowers for cutting. I do however, see the merit of real turf for sports fields, play areas for our pets and children, and in our parks for picnicking. Ask yourself how you use your yard and whether or not you could turn more areas into beds for growing food or perhaps hardscape an area for entertaining.

To turf or not to turf is the question. When it comes to having an environmentally friendly low maintenance yard, it is wise to consider that the grass is not always greener.

Green and Clean Shelley Levis

Have you ever really thought about how many chemicals you expose yourself to everyday? From your morning shower, the detergent used to clean your clothes to the countertop you prepare your breakfast on; you have already been exposed to dozens of foreign ingredients and you haven’t even walked out the door. Using simple natural ingredients not only will be good for you but it will be good on your wallet too.

The single most versatile housecleaning product you should have on hand is baking soda. From toothpaste to laundry detergent, this easy to use product is inexpensive and effective.

Let’s examine five ways you can start using this wonderful white powder around your home right now.

Store bought laundry detergents can make your towels smell great for days, but the harsh perfumes can be an irritant and may only be masking odors instead of eliminating them.

I made the switch to making my own three years ago and haven’t gone back. I’m the wife of a sports junkie and if you have ever had to clean hockey gear, you know the funk I’m talking about. My detergent is the ONLY thing that has worked to get the stink out and I have tried just about every cleaning product available out there. Here is my laundry detergent recipe:

✃

REGULAR $46.99 • UP TO 5L ON MOST VEHICLES & LIGHT TRUCKS

604-888-9000

The Langley Times www.langleytimes.com

1 Box of Arm & Hammer Washing Soda 1 Box of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda 1 Box of 20 Mule Team Borax 3 Bars of Ivory Soap or Fels-Naptha (grated) Use 1-3 Tablespoons per load, that’s it! This batch of detergent will last for months and it is safe for HE front-loading machines as well as gentle on septic tanks.

Baking soda is great for unclogging greasy kitchen drains.

Start by sprinkling baking soda down the drain and let it sit for a few minutes. Add about ½ cup to ¾ of cup of white vinegar and have your sink stopper ready to shove into the drain the minute it begins to bubble up. The explosive action of the soda and vinegar combination will clean out the drain, chemical free. Let the fizzies settle down and follow with a kettle of boiling water.

Got algae and moss growing on your deck? Spray it down with a hose then use a metal flour sifter with a box of baking soda to sprinkle over the area. Let sit for about fifteen minutes then grab a hard bristle brush to scrub it right off. Carpet odors are simple to eliminate with baking soda. I grow a lot of lavender in my garden and it gets used in ton’s of my cleaning products as well. Add a ½ cup of dried lavender flowers to 2 cups of baking soda and allow at least 24 hours for it to absorb the scent. Sprinkle on your carpets and enjoy the aromatic benefits while you clean and vacuum your home.

Baking soda is the perfect scrubber for your tubs and sinks. It cleans off dirt and grime with ease and is a fraction of the cost of other harsh cleaners out there. If you enjoy a fresh clean scent, try adding some eucalyptus oil to your powder and it will feel like you’re at the spa while you are scrubbing your shower.

Switch to using as many natural ingredients as you can for your household-cleaning regime. It’s better for you, safer for the environment and lighter on your wallet. For more natural cleaning tips like these, visit my website at www.sowanddipity.com.

Is going to the dentist something that you dread? If so, Dr. Lundt and her team want to change that. “We have patients who have experienced extreme dental anxiety their whole lives and, in the past, have needed medication just to get through the door. Some patients have lost teeth due to anxiety and it feels wonderful to provide a completely new experience they will remember,” said Dr. Lundt.

A child’s first visit to the dentist is an important one. To avoid a lifetime of dental anxiety, it’s key to find a dental practice that offers a family friendly environment.

At Willowbrook Park Dental, many members of the team are parents themselves and they are more than happy to help and play with younger patients to make them feel at ease. There are also TV’s to keep the little one’s minds off the dental work.

“We love to see your whole family and treat everyone individually; from your child’s first visit, to fillings and orthodontics for kids,” said Dr. Lundt.

Willowbrook Park Dental has an excellent website. Recently the practice has incorporated new software to make registration convenient for their patients. You will

be able to enter your information digitally and it will go directly into their computer system. Your information will be protected and accurate. Also new is their ‘mobile confirmation’. Your appointment reminder will automatically be emailed or sent by text message for you to confirm.

Willowbrook Park Dental is excited to offer two big promotions for 2015 – one exclusively for new patients and the other for both new and existing patients.

“We offer free whitening when you reserve your new patient exam and cleaning,” explained Dr. Lundt. “We are also running a great promotion on Invisalign for $5,295 which includes your initial consultation exam, orthodontic records, all Invisalign aligners, and your final retainers.”

The practice is conveniently located at 6187 - 200 Street, right between Scotiabank and the Running Room in Willowbrook Park. The office is open Monday through Saturday and evening appointments are available.

Marc Destrubé (left) and his former protégé, Jaron Freeman-Fox (above) will perform J.S. Bachwards at Rose Gellert Hall, on Sunday, May 3, as part of a full weekend of musical celebrations at Langley Community Music School.

Fill your weekend with the sounds of music Coming May 1 to 4, Langley Community Music School celebrates a weekend full of music.

Following a Night Café Classico concert with Joe Trio at 7 p.m. (see story this page) on Friday evening, May 1, LCMS welcomes two more concerts to celebrate BC Youth Week.

On Sunday afternoon, May 3, at 2:30 p.m., the violin/fiddle duo of Marc Destrubé and Jaron Freeman-Fox will present “J.S. Bachwards,” a stunning re-imagining of the works of Bach, Biber, and Baltzer.

And on Monday evening, May 4, at 7 p.m., the acclaimed Vancouver Orpheus Male Choir will join LCMS Children’s Choir to perform Canadian traditional, folk and popular songs, including a joint performance of this year’s Music Monday anthem “We Are One,” written by 16-year old Canadian singer/songwriter Connor Ross.

BC Youth Week is a provincial celebration of youth held annually during the first week of May. It is intended to build a strong connection between young people and their communities and to profile the accom-

plishments and diversity of youth across the province.

Music Monday is the world’s largest single event dedicated to raising awareness for music education. Launched in 2005 by the Coalition for Music Education, the annual event engages hundreds of thousands of students, educators, and music makers in a simultaneous nationwide concert performance of an original song written by a Canadian artist.

“Langley Community Music School is thrilled to bring two special concerts to our community at the start of BC Youth Week,” said LCMS principal Susan Magnusson.

“When I learned that Early Music Vancouver was presenting Marc Destrubé, together with his former protégé, Jaron Freeman-Fox, I had to invite them to also perform in Rose Gellert Hall.

“The timing, coinciding with BC Youth Week, was perfect, and the program is very appealing.

“We are very pleased that with the support that we receive from the province of B.C., we can bring this special concert to Langley, asking only for admission by do-

nation.”

The J.S. Bachwards concert features renowned baroque specialist Destrubé and Freeman-Fox. Together, they explore beautiful solo violin variations of the compositions of Bach Biber and Baltzar, combined with a futuristic electro-acoustic re-imagining and improvisation of this early music. Freeman-Fox describes his music as “contemporary world music … or maybe music for hot air balloonists.”

He added that he has worked to learn this early music inside out and “for this concert, I’ll be doing just that — turning it inside out.”

Tickets for the “We Are One” Music Monday concert with the Vancouver Orpheus Male Choir are $15 for adults, $10 for students, and $2 for children under 12.

Admission to the Sunday afternoon J.S. Bachwards concert is by donation. Call the box office at 604-534-2848.

The Rose Gellert Hall is located at 4899 207 St. Learn more about Music Monday at www.musicmonday.ca and at www.bcyouthweek.com.

Music, laughter and a cup of Joe at LCMS JOE TRIO CONCERT COMBINES HIGH CAMP AND HIGH ART Who says you can’t mix the classics, clowns, and coffee?

The stunningly surprising Joe Trio will show that high art does go with high camp at the upcoming Langley Community Music School’s Night Café Classico concert The show begins at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 1.

Launching a full weekend of music at LCMS, the piano, violin and cello trio will treat audiences to a diverse array of music from the classics to contemporary works, and backwards and sideways again, along with a good measure of humour.

Joe Trio features Allen Stiles on piano, Cameron Wilson on violin, and Charles Inkman on cello.

The transformation of Tayla TAYLA JACKSON GOES FROM ‘COCKY’ GRADE 8 TO TOP GRADUATING FEMALE PLAYER IN THE PROVINCE GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s

A story from Grade 8 illustrates the confidence of Tayla Jackson.

The way Neil Brown tells it, Jackson — who was playing senior girls basketball despite being just 13 years old — informed one of the province’s best players, W.J. Mouat’s Kayli Satori, that there was “a new sheriff in town.”

Jackson’s version differs slightly.

“I didn’t exactly say those words,” said Jackson, now a Grade 12 student at Brookswood Secondary.

“It was perceived different than how I intended.” “(Kayli) was so good and we were playing in a game, standing next to each other Subm itted Picture during a free throw,” Jackson explained.

Brookswood Bobcats’ Tayla Jackson drives past Oak Bay’s Lauren Yearwood during the 2014 B.C. 3A senior girls championship game. On Saturday, Jackson was named the Basketball BC female high school player of the year, beating Yearwood and Little Flower Academy’s Jessica Hansen for the honour. bounds.

And this year, Jackson’s stat line read 16 points, 17 rebounds and two blocks compared to Yearwood’s 10, nine and one.

Jackson — who earlier this month took part in the B.C. high school senior girls all-star game at the Langley Events Centre — now readies for the next chapter as she is off on an athletic scholarship to the University of California Irvine next season to play basketball at the NCAA Division 1 level.

Jackson to become an elementary school teacher, already helps out at Brookswood,

coaching younger players.

“I want them to see that if they work hard and put the time in, that they can seriously do anything they set their mind too,” she said about what example she can set for others.

“They can go anywhere they choose to go if the opportunities come their way from the hard work. And to have fun with it along the way and not take it too seriously.

“There is more to life than basketball but if you work hard enough, you can have basketball take you to great places in life.

You need to be able to enjoy it as well.”

Pitchers lead way as Blaze sweep Royals LANGLEY U16 AND U18 TEAMS BOTH ATOP RESPECTIVE LEAGUES

GARY AHUJA L an gley Tim es

Credo Christian Kodiaks’ Jaylene Stam splits Langley Christian Lightning defenders Tia Tuininga (left) and Rebecca Chadney during senior girls 1A soccer at Langley Christian School last week (April 21). The Kodiaks scored once in the first half for the game’s only goal.

The Langley Blaze allowed a combined three runs in sweeping the Parksville Royals.

The Blaze won 8-2 and 4-1 on Sunday afternoon at Royals Field, improving to 9-1 and top spot in the B.C. Premier U18 Baseball League.

Langley used a seven-run fourth inning to break open a 1-0 game in the opener.

Dayton Wilson had a pair of RBIs while Yi-Fan Pan, Kurt Meeberg, Dakota Curry and Brendan Halstrom drove in one run apiece.

And on the mound, Cooper Misic went six solid innings, striking out nine while allowing just four hits.

Brendan Coulter pitched a onetwo-three seventh inning to close things out.

And pitching was the story in game two as Kyle Ross struck out eight over five innings, allowing one run on two hits.

Jake Polancic pitched two innings for the save.

Travis Leclair, Connor Chorpita, Halstrom and Yi-An Pan had one RBI apiece.

Langley will look to build on its six-game winning streak when they visit the North Delta Blue Jays (4-2)

at Mackie Park on May 2.

••• The Langley Junior Blaze are off to a 4-0 start after winning a pair of defensive gems over the weekend.

The Blaze played their home opener at McLeod Park on Saturday, defeating the Whalley Jr. Chiefs 3-0 and 2-1 in B.C. U16 Junior Premier Baseball League action.

In the opener, Langley generated all the offence they needed in the first inning, scoring three times.

Rhys Cratty scored on a wild pitch and Adam Reston followed that up two batters later with a two-run single.

That was more than enough offence for Michael Stovman, who allowed just a pair of singles and one walk over seven shutout innings.

And that was followed by three Blaze pitchers — James Hardy, Quintin Nakamura and Colby Ring — combining on a one-hitter in the 2-1 victory.

Ring, who earned the save, struck out six of the 10 batters he faced.

The lone Whalley run came in the top of the first inning on a wild pitch.

Langley countered Cole Schwing’s single scoring Trevor Alcos in the second and Stovman’s double scoring Cole Cantelon in the third.

The Blaze are back in action today (Wednesday) when they host the Abbotsford Jr. Cardinals (2-0). They also face the Victoria Jr. Eagles (3-3) at McLeod Park on May 3.

Stuart helps Wild win Cup

JAME S INGLIS L an gley Tim es

Langley Bandits pitcher Olivia Newman throws a pitch during a U19 C Division game against the Blue Jays at Langley Fastball Association tournament held at Noel Booth Community Park on April 18.

Brodi Stuart helped Team Wild win the B.C. Cup over the weekend in Salmon Arm. Stuart was one of five local hockey players who were selected to play in the U16 boys’ hockey tournament, which began April 22 and wrapped up on Sunday (April 26).

The Wild defeated Team Flyers 7-2 in the championship game.

And Stuart was among a handful of Langley players selected to play in the event.

Goaltender Maguire Houlind was on Team Penguins, while forward Brendan Budy and defenceman Bobby Russell were on Team Sabres.

And Aldergrove goaltender Jordan Naylor was on Team Bruins.

The Penguins defeated the Stars 5-3 in the bronze medal game while the Sabres needed overtime to defeat the Bruins in the fifth-place game.
