Department store theft nets $200K worth of jewelry LANGLEY STORE TARGETED TWO DAYS BEFORE SIMILAR ROBBERY IN COQUITLAM M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re por t e r

Within two days, a pair of thieves targeted two Hudson’s Bay stores, stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, in overnight smash-and-grabs.

Langley RCMP were called for an alarm at the Bay in Willowbrook Shopping Centre in the early morning hours of April 7.

Officers arrived to find the suspects had already left the store and more than $200,000 worth of jewelry had been stolen from the display cases.

A review of the surveillance footage shows what is believed to be a newer black Toyota pickup, with a 2x8 post in the truck’s bed.

Robert Anthony Pickford was given 36 months on Tuesday, April 28, by a Port Coquitlam provincial court judge.

The day before, he pleaded guilty to five criminal counts, including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle — an offence with a potential maximum of five years in jail — as well as flight from police, possession of stolen property and two parole violations.

Pickford has been in jail since his arrest on Feb. 18 following a police pursuit of a stolen red Ford F150 pickup truck through Langley and neighbouring communities that ended on the Golden Ears Bridge.

The chase began around 2 p.m. when Ridge Meadows RCMP officers tried to stop the pickup.

DO YOU HAVE CHRONIC PAIN? NEW TREATMENT AVAILABLE!

Conditions Treated: • Shoulder injuries (E.g. rotator cuff) • Golfer’s & Tennis Elbow (E.g. epicondylitis) • Chronic Heel Pain (E.g. plantar fasciitis) • Chronic Ankle Pain • Knee Pain • Hip Pain (E.g. bursitis, tendinitis) • Trigger Finger (E.g. flexor tendinitis) • Muscle Pain • Tendon & Ligament Injuries

What are shockwaves?

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

How does it work?

ShockWave Therapy involves using a hand-held probe to focus shock waves on the affected tissue and surrounding healthy tissue to induce physiological response that will initiate healing. it is important to accurately define the treatment area through appropriate diagnostics. We do that through taking in the patient’s concise pain history, palpation, x-rays, ultrasound, MRI etc. This ensures the most effective delivery of shock waves into the affected region.

When applied to the skin, it allows an increased blood supply to the treated area by stimulation of neovascularization and growth Factors. Other benefits of ShockWave Therapy include: • Facilitates resorption of calcifications in tendons and ligaments • Re-initiates stagnant healing processes in chronic injuries • Stimulates migration (differentiation) of stem cells • Decreases inflammatory processes • Stimulates osteoclasts and fibroblasts to rebuild injured tissues

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

Chase drove oncoming traffic onto sidewalk From Page 1

Pickford initially pulled over, then drove off, heading for Coquitlam on the Lougheed Highway.

He continued through Surrey and Langley, followed by police on the ground and in the air.

Eyewitnesses told The Times they saw the Ford speeding toward oncoming traffic on the wrong side of the road heading west along the Fraser Highway from Aldergrove.

At least one civilian vehicle was forced to drive up on a sidewalk to avoid a collision.

There were no reports of injuries.

The chase ended around 4 p.m. on the Golden Ears Bridge after Ridge Meadows RCMP closed the crossing and police were able to box the pickup in.

By then, three of the tires on the truck had been blown out by spike belts deployed by police.

The Ford came to a stop facing backwards, surrounded by Emergency Response Team vehicles.

An ambulance was called in to take the driver to hospital.

Northbound traffic across the bridge was blocked off for about an hour, causing heavy conges-

tion and substantial delays for commuters.

At the time, Pickford was free on bail awaiting trial on 10 charges, most involving theft-related incidents in Port Coquitlam.

Pickford pleaded guilty to five of those charges following his arrest on the bridge.

Court records show Pickford has several prior convictions for vehicle theft and dangerous driving, including a 2005 case where he received a two-and-ahalf year jail sentence for dangerous driving, stealing a vehicle and operating a vehicle “in order to evade a peace officer.”

At the time, Provincial Court Judge Shehni Dossa described how Pickford “went through a lot of red lights onto oncoming traffic” during an early morning police pursuit that ended when Pickford hit a light standard. “(Y)ou are fortunate there was so little traffic on the road and that nobody was hurt,” Dossa told Pickford.

“You have a long record for someone so young,” Judge Dossa added.

At the time, Pickford was on parole from a 2003 conviction for dangerous driving, possession of a stolen auto and drug possession.

D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s file pho to

A police pursuit of a wildly-driven red truck ran through several communities before coming to an end on the Golden Ears bridge in February. The driver pleaded guilty to five criminal counts related to the chase and was sentenced to three years.

Videos capture pair of suspects in similar smash-and-grab robberies two days apart From Page 1

It was used to smash into the east doors of the Bay. Police say there is likely some significant damage to the rear of the truck.

In a second video, two men, one in mechanic’s overalls, are seen inside the store, smashing the showcases with a pry bar, removing the jewelry and stuffing it into a large can-

vas bag.

Two days later, on the morning of April 9, the Coquitlam RCMP responded to a break-in at Hudson’s Bay at Coquitlam Centre.

It was similar to the one that occurred in Langley.

Security camera footage shows two men breaking into the store and heading directly to the jewelry department.

Once there, they smashed

a number of showcases with a crowbar and stole many pieces of jewelry.

They fled the scene afterward in a black pickup truck.

The first suspect is described as around 5’10” tall with a medium build.

He was wearing a grey hoodie and sweat pants, gloves, and white shoes.

The second suspect is also described as being

around 5’10” tall with medium build.

He was wearing a mask, a black hoodie with a beige jacket, and jeans.

Anyone with information that might assist police in either investigation is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or Coquitlam RCMP at 604945-1550. To remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

No trash talk, just trash action on clean-up day Fifteen locations plus 200 dedicated volunteers equalled one very successful Clean Up Langley Day. Two tonnes of material were recovered from the Township of Langley’s streets, parks, and streams during the annual event, which was held April 25 in celebration of Earth Day. “This is the biggest turn out we have ever had and the (largest) amount of material that has ever been collected,” said Township of Langley Solid Waste Coordinator Tess Rouse.

“In an ideal world, people wouldn’t litter or dump illegally in the first place, but it is wonderful to see so many volunteers willing to come out and make a difference to the environment and our community.”

The Township holds Clean Up Langley Day each spring to encourage individuals, families, community organizations, and businesses to pitch in and tidy up.

This year, clean-ups were held at over a dozen sites throughout the community, with support from several groups, including the Walnut Grove Business Association, Aldergrove Business Association, the Langley Elks, the Township’s Youth Advisory Committee, Journey Church, Fort Langley Evangelical Church, Bethel Mennonite Church, Langley Environmental Partners Society, Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society, Cool J’s Ice Cream, R.C. Garnett Elementary PAC, and the Rotary Club of Langley Sunrise.

Over 1,800 kilograms of garbage was collected, along with 200 kilograms of drywall, pails of engine oil, electronics, and tires that were sent for recycling.

A pair of young volunteers from LEPS and Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society were among the 200 community members who turned out on Saturday to help clean up the Township of Langley.

Guys did a fantastic job working with each clean-up site to collect the waste at the end of the event and dispose of it correctly,” said Rouse.

The event is presented by the Township of Langley’s Adopt-AProgram, which encourages residents, schools, organizations, and businesses to help keep local streets, streams, trails, and

parks clean.

A second Clean Up Langley day is being considered for the fall, during Waste Reduction Week in October.

In Langley City, volunteers also turned out to help clean up the community on Saturday, with groups meeting at Brydon Lagoon, City Park and McBurney Lane.

Members of the Aldergrove Business Association donned high-visibility vests, pulled on gloves and got to work on Saturday, helping to collect 1,800 kgs of trash and another 200 kgs worth of recyclable materials from Township streets, parks and streams. In the City, another two dozen people pitched-in.

Garbage toxins suspected of contaminating hawks

!

RE

HE TO SHOP

ottercoop.com

CO-OP GOLD FRUIT Frozen 600g

JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Researchers have found high levels of toxic flame retardants in Lower Mainland raptors, including one Cooper’s hawk in Langley with the highest levels of the contaminant ever recorded in a wild bird.

The average concentration of PBDEs, a flame retardant used on furniture, electronics and carpets, averaged 1,873 parts per billion in the livers of 15 raptors tested in the Lower Mainland, and that reading hit 197,000 in the case of the Langley hawk.

The birds tested between 2000 and 2009 had all died from being hit by cars or similar trauma.

Lead researcher Kyle Elliott, from McGill University, says more species are adapting to urban areas, where they encounter higher levels of chemical pollutants, which can then bioaccumulate in top predators.

Hawks, for example, eat starlings that often feed on garbage.

Elliott said it’s impossible to say the ultra-toxic hawk was contaminated by the waste transfer station in Langley — a scenario Metro Vancouver officials doubt because garbage there is swiftly compacted, giving birds little access — but he suspects avian access to garbage is part of the overall problem, whether it’s via landfills, dumpsters or bagged garbage at the curb.

“There were very high levels across the entire Lower Mainland,” he told Black Press.

“We do know these brominated flame retardants are often associated with human refuse.

And starlings have 15 times higher levels near the Burns Bog landfill as compared to other sites in the Lower Mainland.”

Elliott said the PBDE levels found in Cooper’s hawks in the Lower Mainland were higher

Cooper’s hawks tested in B.C.’s Lower Mainland have been found to have high levels of brominated flame retardants. than found in any other study elsewhere.

The Langley hawk, found dead in 2002, showed no signs of emaciation or sickness but had PBDE levels 100 times higher than levels known to decrease thyroid levels in eagles and suppress the immune system in kestrels, Elliott said.

The findings were presented in a research paper in the journal Science of the Total Environment.

More research is underway to gauge the sources and effects of chemicals like PBDEs on a breeding group of Cooper’s hawks in the Metro Vancouver area.

The Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (OWL) in Delta often takes in injured raptors found near the Vancouver landfill in Delta with injuries or infections that defy explanation and make treatment challenging, according to bird care supervisor Martina Versteeg.

“We definitely think it has something to do with human waste,” she said.

“We see birds come in with infections, inflammation, pus — all these things — and the test results often come back sterile.

So what is it? Is it the chemicals or flame retardants doing it?”

Versteeg says OWL urges supporters to recycle as much as possible to limit bird and wildlife access to garbage.

“One time we had an eagle that coughed up the handle of a women’s razor,” Versteeg said.

“It was pink, so it looked like a piece of fish. And if they’re fighting over it they may just swallow it real quick and go on their day.

“She came here and coughed that up.”

Use of PBDEs was restricted several years ago but old products continue to end up in landfills so the legacy chemicals can have a lingering effect in the environment.

A: Most people are unaware of any dental problems until they experience pain or swelling, when the problem has become more serious. Dental diseases are irreversible (they do not go away Dr. Cheung, DMD Dentist on their own), so prevention and early diagnoses are key. Regular dental exams by your dentist are important for your ongoing oral health because they catch problems early. Many areas and functions of your mouth are inspected during a dental exam, and only your dentist can do this properly – so even if you see your hygienist regularly for cleanings, you should still have an exam from your dentist at least once a year.

Advanced dental disease can be time-consuming and expensive to fix. For many people, their ideal dental treatment is unattainable due to cost once the disease has progressed beyond a certain stage.

Therefore, it is important to schedule regular dental exams with your dentist so that diseases can be detected and resolved quickly, before they become bigger problems. #104-6424 200th St., Langley 604-533-3000 wcdentalctr@shaw.ca NEW PATIENTS WELCOME!

McBurney Summer Series will run June to September ART, ANIMALS, THEATRE, CIRCUS ACTS AND MORE PLAN NED FOR DOWNTOWN CORE

B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The newly renovated McBurney Plaza in downtown Langley City will be a busy place this summer, as the local merchants’ association prepares to host a series of hands-on, family-friendly parties in the square — each with a different theme.

The McBurney Summer Series will begin with Build It in the Plaza on June 13.

Visitors will be invited to take part in some DIY projects for the garden, including building a birdhouse and making planters.

That will be followed by Theatre in the Plaza, Art in the Plaza, Animals in the Plaza and Circus in the Plaza, with two events sched-

uled for June and one each for July, August and September.

Teri James, former City councillor and executive director of the Downtown Langley Business Association, outlined the summer series for council on Monday night, explaining that all events will run from noon to 3 p.m. and will be free to the public.

The only exception, James told council, is that there will likely be a $4 fee to purchase a bird house kit. The committee is still looking for a sponsor to cover that cost.

Funding for the summer-long series is coming from three sources.

The first is the $10,000 ‘Open for Business’ award the City received from the province in 2014. Council

matched that with a $10,000 from its enterprise fund. The DLBA matched that total with another $20,000, for a total of $40,000.

Of that, $10,000 will be used to pay for entertainment.

Theatre in the Plaza activities (June 27) will include face painting and a costume station, puppets and acting lessons. Art in the Plaza (July 25) will include painters, sculptors, carvers and jewelry makers, with plenty of opportunities for kids to get creative.

On Aug. 8, it’s Animals in the Plaza, offering families a chance to get up close and personal with creatures from Urban Safari Rescue.

Finally, on Sept. 26, Circus in the

Plaza will feature performances

by Inner Ring Circus, including stilt walking, jugglers, unicycles and plate spinning.

In all, nine family events are scheduled to happen in the downtown core this summer, including the five in the McBurney Plaza series.

Sometimes when the City holds events downtown, merchants on the fringes of the activity complain that it is detrimental to their business, said Councillor Dave Hall.

He asked James whether news of the upcoming series had generated any response to that effect.

James replied that a strong awareness campaign has been

carried out and area businesses given every opportunity to participate.

With three hours of entertainment, there will be “time left in the family gas tank to explore,” said James.

Business owners who have been around for a number of years realize that raising awareness is as important as sales, she added.

“This is the perfect place — McBurney is the ideal venue. It will really liven up the downtown,” said Councillor Gayle Martin.

“This is exactly what McBurney Plaza is meant for,” agreed Councillor Rudy Storteboom.

“We think this is going to be something special for our plaza,” replied James.

The provincial government and the courts are doing their best to keep participation in elections under strict control.

The two big political parties, the BC Liberals and NDP, are behind proposed legislation that would give political parties a complete list of everyone who voted in a provincial election. The information would not be made available to independent candidates or even incumbent MLAs like Delta independent Vicki Huntington.

This is nothing more than an assault on privacy. In some ways, it is an attempt to use sophisticated technological means to go back to the era when people had to cast their votes in public. In those days, voters could lose their jobs, their homes and face assault and other criminal acts — simply because of the way they voted.

Thankfully, Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, Huntington and the privacy commissioner are standing against this. The effort to coerce Elections BC to hand over this private information to political parties must fail.

Meanwhile, the B.C. Court of Appeal has backed provincial legislation which states that groups or individuals must register with Elections BC if they plan to say or distribute anything that might be considered election advertising during an election period.

The court’s decision, by a 2-1 margin, goes against the recommendations of the chief electoral officer, who said in both 2010 and 2014 that there was no problem in not registering those who spend a small amount in placing advertising during an election, say $500 or $1,000. The federal government does not require registration if individuals or groups spend less than $500. In Alberta, that limit is $1,000.

Elections are the one time when citizens have the power to bring politicians and political parties to heel. They should be freewheeling affairs — not a stage-managed series of photo-ops designed for the 6 p.m. television news, as increasingly happens on both the federal and provincial stages.

While there is a need for some spending limits during campaigns, particularly by parties and candidates, it is highly unlikely that spending of $1,000 by either an individual or group will sway the outcome of an election in a given riding. And if it does, it means that message resonated with a large number of voters.

Vincent Gogolek, executive director of the B.C. Freedom of Information and Privacy Association, says the court decision is an assault on freedom of expression. His organization launched the court challenge to try and overthrow the requirement to register with Elections BC, on constitutional grounds.

The maximum penalty for not registering is a $10,000 fine and a year in jail.

The law says it applies to “an advertising message that takes a position on an issue with which a registered political party or candidate is associated.” That could be virtually anything, and could apply to a hand-written sign in the back of someone’s pickup.

This law is far too restrictive, and it needs to be repealed.

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

Opportunity lost they

By the time nominations close for the Oct. 19 federal election, voters will have just three weeks to decide who they should entrust as their next member of Parliament.

Which makes us wonder why the major political parties haven’t really been vying for our vote in the newly-redrawn South Surrey-White Rock riding.

It’s as if Canada’s opposition parties have decided to concede the riding in favour of Dianne Watts and the Conservatives. With less than six months to go until the big showdown, Watts is the lone candidate for the seat, formerly held for four terms (as South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale) by Conservative Russ Hiebert.

The Liberals and the NDP have promised a candidate, and the Greens are expected to, as well, but, as of this writing, Watts has no official challengers. The clock is ticking.

Opposition parties have been squandering an opportunity to hammer their viewpoints home, and establish a candidate’s presence on the local front.

Last Week we asked you:

Should the Langley Has Talent contest continue next year?

YES 43.5% NO 56.5%

Transit expansion all about building bureaucracy Editor: When downsizing loomed for the many government employees at BC Transit in the 1980s, they had to think quickly. They rebranded transit to buy time and were motivated to save their cushy jobs, more than anything else.

Transit was no longer transport for the mentally, physically and financially challenged individuals of our society, as it always has been and still is. Transit was now purported to be an “environmental movement” to rid the world of evil drivers and road congestion. Yes, soot-blowing diesel buses clogging up the roads and emitting toxic pollutants were the answer to air pollution and road congestion.

Henceforth, anyone who questioned the efficacy of the costly and redundant bureaucracy at BC Transit was the enemy of the environment. He or she could be summarily marginalized and dismissed.

BC Transit could do whatever it wanted without any accountability and without any measure of its performance, or lack of performance.

It was brilliant. What a great hoax was hatched by the tricksters at BC Transit, which eventually bloated in size to evolve into TransLink in the Lower Mainland. As the bureaucracy at BC Transit grew, and the number of mindless minions collecting paychecks grew, BC Transit split into TransLink for the Lower Mainland, and BC Transit for the rest of the province.

The overhead to administer transit grew exponentially, and the cost of the overhead for the bureaucracy at TransLink has mushroomed to an estimated $150 million annually, today.

To put into perspective how massive this is, it is enough to build one new bridge or LRT line every three to five years. It’s obscene.

The predecessors of TransLink promised decades ago to vanquish road congestion, air pollution and carbon emissions. Instead, for not giving them pink slips, what we have at present is the bloated bureaucracy at TransLink and the divisive plebiscite to raise taxes for transit by TransLink.

“Fast and frequent” hub to hub transit by TransLink was

supposed to coax drivers to abandon point to point transport (driving).

It didn’t. Most drivers bought a car to get off hub to hub transit and want nothing to do with it. Rather than pull drivers onto creepy transit, transit offered by TransLink has led to the following in Metro Vancouver: · Worst road congestion in Canada and bottlenecks at all major bridges, due to overspending on subway and SkyTrain lines, and not enough spending on bridges; · The most heavily subsidized transit organization in Canada ($700 million to $800 million annual tax subsidy for 200 million annual passenger trips in Metro Vancouver, compared to the $500 million annual tax subsidy for 500 million annual passenger trips in Metro Toronto); and · The worst air quality on roads clogged with polluting diesel buses, which have exasperated respiratory illness and cardiovascular disease.

Do the bunglers at TransLink know what they are doing? Maybe they could use some paint thinner.

It’s not what it looks like at TransLink. It’s much worse.

If we continue to fund the bureaucrats who use transit to get rich, we’re sunk. About 10 per cent of the commuters use transit (among the entire population of the Lower Mainland) and about 90 per cent of the TransLink operating budget is used for expensive transit infrastructure (subways and the like). This is not the recipe for success.

Langley Time s file pho to The solution to reduce road congestion is to dissolve TransLink and build some more bridges with the mon- TransLink is a bloated bureaucracy, and transit has been sold ey. Cut the operating and capital costs of transit with to the public as an “environmental movement” to preserve and LRT having stops every 300 metres to 400 metres expand the bureaucracy, says letter writer Eric Chris.

LRT line on Fraser Highway would be welcomed Editor: Earlier this month, there was an interesting letter released from Paul Cordeiro, who is the manager of transportation engineering for the Township of Langley, which appeared in your paper (The Times, April 15). He questioned some of the merits of building light rail along Fraser Highway.

He was concerned that light rail would not service people commuting from Langley to Vancouver. The light rail line would connect Langley with the SkyTrain in Surrey.

As someone who takes transit five days a week between Langley City and the Olympic Village area in Vancouver, light rail would vastly improve my trav-

el experience.

When there is no traffic along Fraser Highway, it takes about 33 to 38 minutes to travel from Langley Centre to Surrey Central by bus. During the peak afternoon travel period, it takes up to 52 minutes.

Travel times along Fraser Highway are not consistent, and as congestion continues to increase along Fraser Highway, the reliability of transit service along the corridor will only deteriorate further.

Cordeiro calls into questions the 29 minutes trip time for light rail, but that is a reasonable time, considering that it takes about 33 minutes by bus today when there is no traffic along Fraser Highway. Sky-

Train along the same corridor would take 22 minutes. Compared to the 50 minutes it takes during the afternoon rush to get from Surrey Central to Langley Centre, both light rail and SkyTrain would provide a massive travel time savings.

Now there is no doubt that SkyTrain is faster than light rail, but its major drawback is the cost. Light Rail would cost $746 million to build between King George and Langley, while SkyTrain would cost $1.356 billion to build (in 2010 dollars.)

The Mayors’ Plan that we are voting on would see light rail on King George Boulevard, 104 Avenue, and Fraser Highway. If SkyTrain was built instead, it could only be

built on King George Boulevard or Fraser Highway, not both.

Cordeiro was concerned about an atgrade light rail crossing at 200 Street and Highway 15 and “potential for vehicle-train collisions.”

Calgary, Edmonton, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles all have atgrade light rail lines that cross busy roadways, and all have excellent safety records.

In fact, rail transit is the safest mode of transportation.

Fear about slow travel speeds and massive collisions are unfounded.

Garage door openers used in an increasing number of break-ins POLICE URGE DRIVERS TO REMOVE OPENERS FROM VEHICLE, LOCK DOOR BETWEEN GARAGE AND HOUSE Langley RCMP is once again noticing an increase in residential break-ins where the ‘bad guy’ uses the garage door opener to access the home.

Recently in the Fort Langley area, unknown person(s) accessed a home through the garage, using a remote left in an unlocked family car.

“This incident is particularly concerning given the family was home at the time sleeping,” said Cpl. Holly Largy.

“Several items were taken from the house, including the keys for the family’s car and, subsequently, the car itself. Fortunately, the vehicle was recovered the following day with no apparent damage.”

If you notice suspicious peo-

ple lurking around vehicles in your neighbourhood, immediately report the activity to police.

Take note of any descriptors for the person or licence plates of related vehicles.

Often it is this information that provides police with a suspect for property crime in the area, said Largy.

If your home is broken into, it needs to be reported to police. There is the possibility the culprits may have left physical evidence behind (fingerprints, DNA) and officers are trained to recover this evidence for testing.

Police may be able to reconcile information provided about suspicious persons or vehicles

in the area at the time with the circumstances surrounding your break-in. This could result in arrests, charges and the return of stolen property.

“Ideally, we would like to avoid this situation altogether.

You wouldn’t normally leave your house key in your vehicle, and the door opener is practically a key to the palace,” said Largy.

Consider removing the opener from your vehicle each day, particularly when you are parking outside, urged police.

“The second thing to remember is to lock your inner garage door so criminals aren’t able to access your home or family. Two small things can make such a difference.”

Langley Walk happens this Sunday The 53rd annual Langley Walk takes place this Sunday, May 3 at Walnut Grove Community Centre at 1 p.m.

Entertainment and

registration for this free walk begins at noon.

Bring the whole family, friends too, as you walk, run or bike your way through this

5 km or 10 km routes.

After the walk, enjoy free snacks, activities and entertainent.

Trophies for most walkers from an organization, family,

school and oldest walker will be awarded.

“These fears were also raised back in the ’60s and ’70s, when lighthouses were de-staffed,” Moore said.

“I remember people saying, oh my God, this is going to be the end. And it turned out to be complete nonsense.”

Unifor operatives rushed to the media again last week with dire news of a half-hour outage of this new system, portraying this as evidence of a high-tech disaster waiting to happen. (Ships were told to monitor an oldschool emergency radio channel for that uneventful half hour.)

What the union is really doing is ramping up its election propaganda, and intensifying efforts to protect redundant positions that are being replaced by new technology.

There was a similar media campaign last year targeting the consolidation of Veterans’ Affairs into Service Canada offices.

There are serious problems with services to veterans, but union featherbedding would not help them.

The B.C. government is also introducing digital technology, eliminating hundreds of paper-pushing jobs in the process, with a mostly realistic response from unions.

But in this federal election year, realism will be in short supply.

Brydon Lagoon in Langley City is home to a wide variety of birds, which come to feed on the fish that live in the pond.

Langley’s recycling lagoon

HAS JOINED

BRYDON LAGOON IS CITY’S VULNERABLE JEWEL

AND IS ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

When you hear the term “sewage lagoon,” what do you picture? Or perhaps, does some odour come to mind?

Fortunately our society is slowly learning that recycling can be a very good thing. When you discard recyclable bottles, they come back to you as new ones; the paper your throw away hopefully gets a second lease on life.

Back in the 1950s, Langley City created a sewage settling pond to help support the urban growth that was taking place.

The land was bought from Jim Brydon, son of John Brydon who had logged the land in the early 1900s.

The re-purposing of the lagoon began in the 1970s when Langley was able to decommission the sewage lagoon in favour of connecting to the Greater Vancouver Regional District system. In the meantime, the Langley Field Naturalists noticed the lagoon hosted many friends — feathered friends.

In 1984, Anthea Farr, president of the Langley Field Naturalists submitted “A proposal to enhance the value of the former Langley sewage lagoon.”

In it, she sketched out a plan

for improving trails and Aeration pumps were enhancing the habitat already installed prior for wildlife, so that for to the fish kill but one a small cost to the City, was malfunctioning. the park would become A task force was a jewel for many in the formed to provide reccommunity to enjoy. ommendations to enNow more than 30 hance the ecological GREEN years later, Brydon Lafunction of Brydon Lagoon is living up to the goon. vision of Anthea and her These recommendaDavid Clements colleagues. tions will be given to Anthea herself was on Council later this year. a Feb. 28 Langley Field NaturalUnfortunately, the shallow ists excursion where we took in water in the lagoon (less than the lagoon and saw 41 species two metres deep) makes Bryof feathered friends in the pro- don Lagoon vulnerable to heat cess. waves.

CRA glitch forces five extra days for income tax filing JEF F N AGEL Bl ack pre s s

Procrastinators who haven’t yet filed their tax returns have an extra five days to do so thanks to an error by the Canada Revenue Agency.

The CRA mistakenly issued a statement last Friday listing May 5 as the deadline for 2014 tax returns instead of the correct deadline of April 30.

But with too many people presumed to be taking advantage of the extended deadline, the government opted to honour it.

“2014 tax returns filed by midnight on May 5, 2015, will not incur interest or penalties,” a statement on the CRA website now says. “The CRA sincerely regrets and apologizes for any confusion this may have caused.”

The deadline has been extended in unusual circumstances before – last year extra time was granted when a security breach from the Heartbleed web software bug prompted Ottawa to temporarily suspend online filing through the CRA website.

Vancouver office boom trouble for suburbs

JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s

A glut of new office towers being built in Vancouver may spell trouble for surrounding cities hoping to attract more jobs in their town centres.

An estimated 2.2 million square feet of new office space is already under construction in downtown Vancouver — enough to satisfy two decades worth of office demand at current absorption rates — and another 2.4 million square feet is proposed, according to Andrew Petrozzi, research vice-president for Avison Young.

It’s the fastest office construction pace seen in Vancouver in decades, Petrozzi told Metro Vancouver’s regional planning committee Friday.

But Burnaby Mayor Derek Corri-

gan warned the Vancouver office tower boom has serious implications for the rest of the region.

“This massive increase in office space in downtown Vancouver is probably going to suck the air out of any aspirations there are within suburban communities to build up their office space to create jobs closer to the residents in those areas,” he said.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said it’s already a problem in his city — even before the newest Vancouver towers come on line.

SkyTrain will arrive in Coquitlam Centre in about 16 months when the Evergreen Line opens, plugging the area into an immense market of workers who could ride transit to offices there, just as transit carries office workers to towers near Sapperton Station in

New Westminster and Gateway in Surrey.

But he said developers have so far shunned office buildings for condo towers.

“We can’t get a business tower — an office building — constructed because there’s simply too much oversupply downtown,” Stewart said. “Then we hear millions of square feet are being built downtown.”

Instead of a two-way transit flow on the Evergreen Line, he said, it will be mainly one way, out to jobs in Vancouver and elsewhere.

Stewart said Metro must grapple with the problem or else “we’ll end up with bedroom communities that are high-rises instead of the bedroom communities we had 50 years ago.”

One of the key goals of Met-

ro Vancouver’s regional growth strategy is to build complete communities throughout the region where people can live and work, Corrigan said, adding an excessive concentration of office space in Vancouver undermines that strategy and is irresponsible.

“How do we get complete communities if all that growth is concentrated in the downtown core?”

Corrigan asked. “We’re going to compound an already problematic situation for municipalities around the Lower Mainland.”

Corrigan said the office increase in Vancouver has transportation implications as well, because “we keep sending people to the small end of the funnel.”

Vancouver Councillor Andrea Reimer responded that a few years earlier Vancouver was

being slammed as irresponsible because too few office buildings were being built to accommodate future forecasts.

Metro planners say different types of tenants are typically interested in different parts of the region, so a diverse supply is good.

Petrozzi noted in the past 15 years there was virtually no office development in downtown Vancouver, calling it a case of playing catch-up there to some extent.

His projections call for Vancouver office vacancy rates to shoot up from very low levels to as much as 14 per cent over the next few years as new buildings open.

More than half of the 74 million square feet of office space in Metro is in Vancouver. Sixty per cent of office space is near a rapid transit station.

Langley branch manager Carol Ward says Westminster Savings has no plans on going anywhere.

They are the lone remaining credit union in the City.

successful branch we have,” said Langley branch manager Carol Ward.

There are 12 branches in total, with the original Westminster Savings opening in New Westminster 70 years ago.

“We are a full service branch, we are just smaller in size,” Ward explained.

“It’s kind of like Cheers in here, where everybody knows your name.”

They offer wealth management, small business and commercial banking as well as leasing.

When Envision Credit Union consolidates its City branch to its Willowbrook location, Westminster Savings will be the only credit union in the City.

“We just want to let those customers know they can use our ATM machine and not be charged a fee,” said Ward.

She also believes that for those people who

prefer the credit union experience, they still have a choice in the City.

“We are happy to be here and we aren’t planning on going anywhere,” said Ward.

Ward works and lives in Langley, and sits on the Downtown Langley BIA board.

As with all credit unions, Westminster Savings believes in giving back to the community. In 2014, they invested more than $26,000 in branch donations and foundation grants directly benefiting Langley residents, including donating $10,000 to the Langley Boys and Girls Club after school program.

They donated $6,000 in free swims at W.C. Blair pool, so people can swim free the last Sunday of every month.

Westminster Savings is also the sponsor of the annual Arts Alive in downtown Langley.

Westminster Savings is located at 20831 Fraser Highway.

King quiet leader for Spartans GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s

The start and end of Jessica King’s university career are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

King spent her first two years in Langley struggling to get on the field with the Trinity Western Spartans women’s soccer team.

But the last three years have been a 180 degree turn, culminating with her winning the Canadian Interuniversity Sport women’s soccer player of the year.

And last week, she was announced as one of four female finalists for the BLG Award, which recognizes the top university athletes.

There are also four male nominees and one from each category will receive a $10,000 post-graduate scholarship.

The winners will be announced on Monday (May 4) at a ceremony in Calgary.

“I feel very honoured and excited,” King said about the nomination.

But if you had asked King when she arrived on campus whether she would be receiving so much fanfare to end her career, she likely would not have believed you.

“I am still a little bit surprised because of how my Trinity career started and how my Trinity career ended are very different,” she admitted.

King arrived in Langley from Liverpool, England, a country where soccer reigns supreme.

But it wasn’t the easiest transition to a new country and a new culture thousands of miles away from home.

“She has an exceptional skill,” said Trinity Western coach Graham Roxburgh.

“Jess can do things with the ball that no one else on my team can do.”

What King struggled with, however, was getting a chance to showcase those skills.

She played four games in her first season and eight in year two — never starting — and finished with one goal and four shots over those first two years.

King liked her team and team-

Xtreme turn back Invaders, win gold It was an impressive showing for the Langley Xtreme 2001 rep B girls softball team.

The squad went a perfect 6-0 to capture top spot at the South Surrey/ White Rock U14 fastpitch tournament over the weekend.

And it was also sweet revenge for the Xtreme, as they defeated the South Delta Invaders 11-3 in the championship final. The Invaders had defeated Langley at a tournament earlier this season.

In the final, Taryn Jenkins belted a home run and finished with a pair of RBIs while Sam Cox came up with a pair of spectacular catches in rightfield.

Langley went 4-0 to place in round-robin action.

In the opener, they beat the host SSWR Thunder 01 8-0 behind a twohit shutout from Kayla Michael and

Piper French. Jacqueline Hudson’s two hits and two runs led the team in an 8-3 win over the Maple Ridge Rage 01 in game two.

Game three saw the Xtreme rally for the win as Ashley Preston had a clutch two-out single which scored two runs to tie the game in the third before Rebecca Courneyea smacked a triple the next inning and scored the winning run on a single from Jordan Quechuck to beat the Cloverdale Fury 5-4.

In the final round-robin game, Sierra Miller had three RBIs and Kaitlyn Cowie drove in one run in a 7-2 defeat of South Delta.

And in the semifinals, the Xtreme raced out to a 5-0 lead against Abbotsford before hanging on for the 6-4 win.

Nadia Hudson came up with a huge defensive play at third base to preserve the victory while Jayna Hagen scored twice.

Do-or-die for Stealth SEASON ON THE LINE THIS SATURDAY FOR VANCOUVER AT LANGLEY EVENTS CENTRE

GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

Win and they are in, simple as that for the Vancouver Stealth.

Of course, the same holds true for the Calgary Roughnecks.

But that is what is at stake on Saturday night in the final regular season game for the National Lacrosse League. Game time is 7 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre.

And the Stealth are hoping they can use a home-crowd advantage in their favour.

“There will be a game 7 atmosphere in the building,” said Vancouver coach Dan Perreault.

“The guys are fired up; they understand the importance of this game.”

The Roughnecks are 6-11 while the Stealth are 5-12. A Vancouver victory would give both teams six wins on the season, but they would hold the tiebreaker with a three-to-one advantage in headto-head victories.

“It’s our biggest game of the year,” said Stealth transition play-

er Mitch McMichael.

“We are pumped and excited; this is why you play lacrosse.”

The Stealth and the Roughnecks haven’t played head-tohead since a home-and-home series back in February.

Vancouver won the opener 13-9 but Calgary took game two, 16-13.

Until that victory, the Roughnecks had been 0-6 but have gone 6-5 over the past 11 games to get back into playoff contention.

Including that loss, the Stealth are on a 2-9 slide ever since.

The teams also met in week one with Vancouver winning on the road, 18-14.

Perreault said the team can’t focus on what has transpired over the past nine weeks.

“Right now, we are healthy and ready to go,” he said.

“The biggest thing is to get the win when you need it most.”

“We are prepared,” McMichael said.

“We have been making huge strides the last couple of weeks.”

Dylan Lacroix scored four times as the Langley Junior Thunder opened the season on a victorious note.

Led by Lacroix’s four goals and six points, the Thunder defeated the Port Coquitlam Saints 11-9 last Friday night (April 24) at

“You have to be amped up for the game,” said Stealth forward Joel McCready, following Vancouver’s last home game on April 18.

“Western rival, at home (in a) Lower Mainland lacrosse hotbed.

It has to be a full house.”

Vancouver is coming off a 17-9 loss to the Bandits in Buffalo. The team was within two goals after three quarters but Buffalo erupted for eight goals in the final period for the one-sided final score.

“We ran out of gas in the fourth quarter,” Perreault said.

Calgary is coming off a bye week.

“Guys are chomping at the bit to go,” said Roughnecks coach Curt Malawsky.

The winner of this game will face the Colorado Mammoth in a single-game elimination playoff game the following week in Denver. And whichever team prevails from that contest faces the West Division-winners, the Edmonton Rush in a two-game Divisional Series.

Langley used a pair of 4-0 runs in the game.

They scored the game’s first four goals in a span of 7:31 to lead 4-0 after one period. And after the Saints cut the lead to 4-2,

the Thunder responded with four goals in 6:30, spanning the second and third periods.

The Thunder were also very efficient on the attack as they scored 11 goals on just 35 shots. On the flip side, Langley goaltender Jake Sundar was on top of

his game, turning aside 45 of the 54 Saints shots.

Nathaniel Kozevnikov (two goals, two assists) and Dylan Kaminski (one goal, three assists) had four-point games while Thomas Moffat and Dayton McIntosh had a goal and two assists apiece.

The Thunder will look for a second straight win as they visit the Burnaby Jr. Lakers (0-2) at the Bill Copeland Arena tonight (Friday).

The team’s home opener is May 7 at the Langley Events Centre against Port Coquitlam.

Question of the Week

The SE EcoBoost package ($1,600) adds fog lamps, a rear spoiler, a full body styling kit, and 17-inch machined alloy wheels.

The Winter Package ($700 – not that I really put it to good use at this time of year) adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, all weather floor mats and a power/heated mirror.

While visibility is pretty good from all angles, the Reverse Sensing System ($700) can always lend a helping hand.

Overall, I quite liked this sedan. The Focus is comfortable, compact and certainly has a convenient engine size for the city.

When considering the Focus with the 1.0L EcoBoost, it’s only available on the SE trim (MSRP of $18,849) and comes as part of the aforementioned EcoBoost package ($1,600.)

The price as tested on this vehicle comes in at $23,315 (which includes the $1,565 destination charge.)

habits and road conditions by reconfiguring the shift patterns for optimum driveability in all situations and is mated with a two-speed electronically controlled transfer case.

Four-wheel electronic traction control, hill descent control, and four corner air suspension with terrain response not only makes this vehicle manouevre well on the road but can take you on some of the roughest back roads British Columbia has to offer.

The terrain response system gives the Range Rover outstanding off-road capabilities; it adapts the response of the vehicles engine, transmission, centre coupling and chassis system to the terrain you’re driving on. It also maintains driver comfort as well as maximizing traction. Terrain response works continuously, but the driver can change the setting depending on the terrain conditions, for example: mud and ruts, snow, or sand.

Hill descent control automatically controls and restricts the speed downhill, using anti-lock brake system, and improves driver control on slippery descents.

Verdict: Range Rover is a luxurious vehicle that is right at home off-road or on.
