Trial date to be set in nine-year-old murder MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Finally, the Redford family are getting closer to possible justice for their daughter and mother.

Davey Butorac, 36, was charged with Margaret Redford’s murder in 2012, six years after the mother of one was killed in Aldergrove.

But since then, many delays have taken place, including jury selec-

tion in 2013.

Now, three years after Butorac was first charged, he is to make a court appearance on June 11 to fix a date for a trial. He is charged with second degree murder in connection with Redford’s death.

It has been nine difficult years since Redford’s body was found in Aldergrove’s Bertrand Creek.

Her daughter made a plea for her

killer to come forward and do the right thing. But the case went cold for many long years.

Then Butorac, an Aldergrove resident, was arrested and charged with murdering two other women. Both those cases went forward as a result of DNA evidence.

While he was being investigated, police found more DNA evidence linking Butorac to Redford’s

murder. They charged him with second degree murder in 2012.

In 2013, her father Ed said he just wanted to get it over with.

In April, Butorac was found guilty of second degree murder for a second time by a jury, for killing Langley City sex trade worker Sheryl Korroll in 2007.

He will be sentenced for the crime in B.C. Supreme Court on

Friday, Sept. 11.

He won an appeal for a new trial after being convicted in a single trial for the murder of Korroll and Abbotsford sex trade worker Gwendolyn Lawton. B.C. Court of Appeal said the two trials should had been held separately.

On June 11, he will also appear to fix a date for the second trial in the Lawton case.

She was later convicted of animal cruelty, and sentenced to six months in jail and given a lifetime ban from having a business involving

Baker has a warning for dog owners.

“Any time the weather starts to get consistently above 18 degrees and sunny, we encourage dog owners to leave their dogs at home,” said Baker. “In the direct sun, a vehicle can get very uncomfortable very quickly for any dog. Even in the shade in the mid20s, a bad situation can result sooner than most people think.”

Baker said most people who leave their

dogs in their vehicles tell them they did so because they thought that they would be back in a couple of minutes.

“However, they underestimate or get delayed and this turns 10 minutes into 30 or more. It is always best not to take your dog with you if you don’t have to between May and September.”

Affordability, desirability drive house sales

LANGLEY SELLERS FIELDING MULTIPLE OFFERS IN MOST PO PUL AR NEIGH BO UR HO ODS

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

The real estate market in Metro Vancouver is red hot and Langley is no exception.

“It’s a very busy market. Single family homes in Langley are very in demand. It’s not uncommon for a home to get multiple offers depending on its location,” said longtime Langley realtor Deanna Horn, of ReMax Treeland Realty.

Horn said single family homes in Langley are still affordable compared to Greater Vancouver prices and that helps to drive up the demand.

“Plus, Langley is a very desirable place to live. People are choosing Langley as a community they want to live in,” said Horn.

Langley is very close to the freeway, the Port Mann bridge has been upgraded for people’s commute, there are community centres, pools, some new schools, parks and shopping, making it a desirable community, she said.

Single family homes in Walnut Grove, Murrayville, Brookswood and the City of Langley are the hot locations.

Townhomes in certain locations or with master bedrooms on the main floor are also selling well.

Horn said she had a townhome up for sale in a retirement community and it had 11 showings in three days, with multiple offers.

“But we still have a lack of product of new townhomes with master bedrooms on the main,” she said.

The new homes in Willoughby are very popular with buyers coming from out of town.

Buyers are young families and

retired people, with some Langleyites looking to upsize and downsize.

In a market this crazy, which shows no sign of slowing, it really is best to have a realtor working on your behalf, she said.

“Right now, putting subjects on the buying of a home isn’t possible and sellers must be ready to move and buyers must have their finances in order when looking,” she suggested. “But that’s why we are there to help people with all of these things. Our team is going like gang busters right now.”

A sellers market hasn’t been seen like this since 2004. Even with the economy limping, prices of homes continue to rise dramatically.

Property sales in the Fraser Valley soared in April compared to one year ago, increasing by 37 percent.

There were 2,009 sales processed on the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service in April, compared to 1,470 in April of last year. This type of red hot market hasn’t been seen since 2004 and prior to that in 1991.

“April was a very active market,” says Jorda Maisey, FVREB president and Langley realtor who works out of the ReMax Little Oak Realty office in Fort Langley.

“The low cost of borrowing continues to attract first-time buyers and families looking to either downsize or upsize as they take advantage of the equity they’ve built up in their existing homes.”

Maisey explained what sellers are most looking for is a single family detached home.

“Depending on the location,

A memorial service for the four members of the Janzen family killed in a tragic murder-suicide will take place this Friday afternoon.

Randy Janzen killed his wife Laurel, daughter Emily and sister Shelly in early May, apparently distraught over Emily’s severe struggle with migraine headaches.

D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s

The combination of relative affordability and the fact that Langley is a desirable place to live is creating a hot housing market throughout the community, with many sellers fielding multiple offers, says a local realtor. some detached homes are selling in a matter of days, not weeks,” said Maisey.

With demand high and available product slim, the benchmark price of single family detached homes continues to increase in most areas.

Last month in Langley, 187 sales took place, compared to 136 in April 2014. The average price of a single family home this April rose

He said in a Facebook post that he killed all three because he did not want his wife and sister to have to deal with his actions in killing Emily, 19.

When police were called to the Aldergrove home of Shelly Janzen after being alerted on May 7 by friends who were concerned about her, it led them to the home of Randy Janzen and his

to $657,928 compared to $609,407 in April 2014, which is a eight per cent increase.

There were more townhouses sold this April at 111, compared to 80 last April.

The average townhouse is going down in value from last April at an average price of $326,234 from $346,929 last April. The same trend holds for condos.

“For apartment owners, take

family in the Rosedale area of Chilliwack. He barricaded himself in the house and eventually set it on fire, killing himself.

The tragedy has been a deep shock for all who knew the Janzen family, who were longtime residents of Langley. Randy and Shelly’s parents were founding members of Bethel Mennonite Church on 56 Avenue, near

heart, the condominium market in the Fraser Valley is improving.

We are starting to see more activity at open houses and an increase in the number of sales; however, that market remains firmly in balance with plenty of selection and prices still flat or declining in certain areas,” said Maisey.

The busy selling season typically runs from January to April, but May has been hot as well thus far.

248 Street, and Shelly continued to be an active member of the congregation.

Shelly had taken care of her mother until her death last August.

Randy and Shelly grew up in an idyllic rural area on 66 Avenue, just off 200 Street, in the 1960s and 1970s, before the area became home to big box stores and townhouse developments.

Bethel pastor Phil Wheaton said the surviving Janzen family members have asked that the service for all four be held at Bethel, which can accommodate about 600 people. He expects that the church will be packed.

The service takes place at Bethel Mennonite Church, 24687 56 Ave., starting at 1 p.m. on Friday.

Summer school far different SESSIONS CAN BE LINKED TO OTHER PROGRAMS MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

Gone are the days when summer school was considered a punishment for students who failed a course.

Now summer school is something kids want to attend, explained Ron Stare, district principal for continuing education.

He spoke of expansion to the upcoming summer sessions at the April 28 meeting of the Langley Board of Education.

Ninety per cent of the high school students who are in summer school are taking a full credit to get ahead, he said.

During the first year that Langley introduced summer school for elementary students, in 2013, 1,500 students registered.

“We opened our registration for elementary on April 7 (and) we had 1,400 register. We anticipate 1,900,” said Stare.

The focus at the primary level is helping in literacy and math, but there is also opportunity for exploration and trying new things.

This year, for the first time, they are offering the jumpstart program for kids coming out of Kindergarten and going into Grade 1, to help them transition.

Musical theatre and trades courses are also being offered for the first time for middle school students, he said.

The Township of Langley and the City have co-ordinated programs so that kids may attend a summer session offering in the morning and then take part in a Township or City program in the afternoon — fully supervised and on the same site. The opportunities for kids are amazing and it is all free for the school district portion.

This year, there is a new middle school program at Yorkson Middle School, the addition of Richard Bulpitt to the offerings at the elementary level and the expansion of programs for vulnerable, at-risk youth.

The summer program for at-risk youth at HD Stafford has been such a success, keeping those students connected through the summer months, that the district has expanded the program to Walnut Grove Secondary and Betty Gilbert Middle School. The program at Stafford includes outdoor adventures like whitewater rafting.

Last summer’s sessions were cancelled due to the teachers’ strike. International students who had registered for summer sessions were taught at Trinity Western University.

There is still six weeks left to register.

Five-year-old mounts campaign to help women using Ishtar housing services Five-year-old Georgia Murray has watched her older brother collect food for the Gateway of Hope at Christmas time. That’s why she decided she would like to do something to help out as well.

Georgia told her mom she wanted to help moms and kids. So her mother Lynda looked around for agencies in the community and found Ishtar Transition Housing Society, which runs two transition houses and provides counselling and support services in the community for women and their children who are fleeing abuse.

Georgia collected ‘dressy’ clothes for Ishtar and

held a clothing drive where friends and family could drop off new and gently used dress clothes.

It was a great success and she collected a wide range of styles and sizes to accommodate the diverse array of women who access Ishtar’s programs and services, said Ishtar program aide Megan Comey.

She recently went to the Ishtar office to make her donation. “Georgia’s campaign has already helped many women and children that otherwise may not have the luxury of buying something nice to wear,” said Comey.

‘Island’ property in Langley City finally will see development BRENDA ANDER SON Times Reporter

Two years after it was first presented to council, a five-storey condominium project has been given the green light by the City of Langley.

On May 11, council finalized the re-zoning process and issued a development permit to Westone Properties for a parcel of land in the 5300 blocks of 200A and 201 Streets.

“Welcome to the party. It’s taken a long time to get there,” said Mayor Ted Schaffer, following the unanimous vote. “I’m sure the developer is glad to get started.”

When the condominium project was presented at a public hearing in May 2013, council was told the building will include 90 units, ranging in size

from 585 square feet to over 1,000 square feet.

It will sit on a piece of property dubbed the island because the consolidated lot is surrounded by roads on all four sides.

Currently, the property is fenced and all that remains of the seven houses that once stood on it is tall grass and a pile of concrete that formed the homes’ foundations. It will be ground into back fill and used for road access during construction, explained Darren York, who spoke to council on behalf of Langley developer, Dale Regehr.

Both York and Regehr were present at the public hearing in 2013, when area residents voiced concerns about the impact the development was having and might continue to have on the neighbourhood.

Included in their worries was the added pressure the multi-family dwelling would place on the al-

ready-limited street parking in the area.

The building’s design calls for the required 1.2 parking spaces per unit and offers an additional 18 spaces for visitors. Given the shortage of street parking in the area, one resident asked why the minimum couldn’t be raised to two spaces, at least for the larger units.

Gerald Minchuk, the City’s director of development services said on May 12 that the municipality is satisfied the building’s design provides enough off-street parking to accommodate both residents and visitors, although he acknowledged that parking will be a challenge during construction.

At five storeys, the height of the building was also an issue for some residents, who feared it would dwarf the surrounding homes.

However, Ron Martens of Keystone Architecture explained at

the public hearing that in order for the project to make financial sense, the developer had to maximize the number of units within a relatively small footprint.

The long delay between third and fourth reading was due to the extensive amount of off-site servicing upgrades — storm, sanitary sewer and water — that are required to build a 90-unit complex in an older neighbourhood, Minchuk said.

A development permit for a second project by Westone, which will see townhouses built along 201 Street, immediately north of the condominium site, and along Michaud Crescent, will be considered by council at ea future meeting, said Minchuk.

Construction is expected to begin on both projects within the next four to six weeks, said York. The City anticipates it will take about 18 months

to complete.

During that period, Minchuk said efforts will be made to keep disturbances to a minimum.

Construction is permitted in the City between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday to Friday and from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. No construction work may be carried out on Sunday.

If these parameters are not being adhered to, residents are encouraged to call the City’s bylaw enforcement department, said Minchuk.

“There is no question that construction causes neighbourhood disruption,” he said.

“But at the end of the day, I think (residents) will be pleased with the outcome.… It will clean up an area that sorely needed redevelopment.”

Barbara Scott, who lives across the road from the condominium development site, said that while she Continued Page 7

A temporary fence surrounds the “island,” a piece of undeveloped property in the 5300 block of 200A and 201 Streets. Langley City council gave initial approval to a condominium development for the site two years ago, and construction will start this summer.

isn’t looking forward to the construction phase, she is relieved to know that the project is finally moving ahead.

“Our biggest concern is that it has taken so long,” she said.

For several years, residents have had to contend with homes that were sold for development only to be rented out or left standing empty.

Several grew derelict over time, creating what one resident described as “a slum.”

When the developer came before council again last year with a proposal to build a townhouse complex, Scott said she was worried that the second development would take precedence.

“Our concern was that he not develop Michaud before developing the island that we’ve been looking at for five or six years.”

The Conservative Party has said it will not take part in the television debates organized by a consortium of television stations, thus finally breaking apart the monopoly on TV debates that has been held by the Canadian televison networks for the past 45 years.

That’s a good thing. But manipulation by the Conservatives as to which debates their leader, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, will appear in is not a good thing.

While Harper is already committed to appear in several debates, there is far too much manipulation involved in this whole exercise. This is coming from a government that has taken manipulation from the prime minister’s office to a new level.

The Conservatives are correct in saying that people get information about political campaigns from a multitude of sources, not just television. In an age where social media is more important than ever, examining how to reach voters should be a major concern of every political party.

What the whole shouting match over debates has proven beyond a doubt is that the political parties and the media are not the ones to organize how political dialogue takes place during an election. Nowhere is this more true than in the organizing of debates where party leaders, who wield an inordinate amount of power under our system, discuss issues with each other.

It would be better if Elections Canada took over administration of debates, based on guidelines that were agreed to by all parties. While the points of agreement would likely be minimal, that is actually an advantage. A debate should not be so proscribed that it loses spontaneity or turns potential voters off.

The advantage in having it administered by the national election agency is that no one involved in organizing it would have a political or advertiser-driven agenda.

Debates between political party leaders are an important part of democracy, and are very important milestones during an election campaign. The federal debates need to be lively, catch significant voter attention and be scrupulously fair to all.

Question

of the week

Are single-family houses in Langley still affordable for home buyers?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Think road safety they

The unofficial start to summer occurred on the Victoria Day weekend, with thousands of B.C.ers hitting the road this May long weekend to go camping, visit relatives or just leave their homes to enjoy some leisure time.

But all that excitement to “get away” meant thousands more cars on the road.

The May long weekend is notorious for seeing an increase in traffic accidents, some with fatal consequences.

ICBC stats indicate that, on average, 340 people are injured in 1,100 crashes throughout the Lower Mainland — including Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley — every year over the Victoria Day long weekend. Provincially, on average, two people are killed and 490 injured during the three-day weekend.

With these stats in mind, police held an enforcement blitz to try and prevent a tragic incident and cut down on high-risk driving habits.

While impaired driving is a concern, many collisions are caused by smaller errors in judgment.

Failing to yield the right-of-way, speeding, unsafe lane changes, tailgating and ignoring traffic control devices are all contributors to accidents.

According to ICBC, 43 per cent of all crashes in B.C. are a result of failing to yield, and 60 per cent of all crashes happen at intersections.

Here in Mission, Project Swoop took place on the Lougheed Highway as RCMP officers focused on cracking down on drivers who display these bad habits.

Police handed out tickets to drivers who broke the rules of the road. A fine is a small price to pay if it helps prevent a fatal collision.

The weekend was supposed to be a fun time — drive slow, drive safe and come home alive.

B.C. residents need to do their best to keep the roads safe.

Police officer’s conversations have impact on a young man 19-Y EAR-OLD OFF TO DEPOT, CITES OFFICER’S HELP Editor: The following correspondence was received

by Langley RCMP Youth-at-Risk officer, Const. Janet Northrup earlier this month. Langley RCMP media relations officer Cpl. Holly Largy has passed it on to The Times, stating “Occasionally, we are fortunate enough to hear about the difference we made in someone’s life.

“This is one of those times….”

Hello Const. Northrup, I wanted to share a conversation that took place the other night at our Town Hall meeting in Aldergrove on May 6. A young man came by and spoke to Cpl. Savinkoff and myself. He came into the gym to ask about the Town Hall meeting and said he would be back later that evening to attend. I asked him if he was a student and he said he had already graduated from high school.

I asked if he was interested in the RCMP and he said, “Yes, I am on my way to Depot on Monday.” I told him he looked too young for Depot and he said he was 19 years old. I told him he must have done very well in his interviews to be accepted to go to Depot being that he was so young.

He said he owes an RCMP officer a lot for changing his life around. When he was starting out as a teenager, he was hanging out with the wrong crowd. He said he met a Langley police officer by the name of Janet Northrup who

turned his life around.

She had spoken to him several times about making the right choices in life and said that there are always consequences for your actions. He said she changed his life around and he started making better choices and stopped hanging out with the bad kids in school.

He turned his life around and decided he wanted to become an RCMP officer himself, and give back to others like she had done for him. I told the young man that I worked with Const. Northrup and I would let her know she made a difference in his life. He asked that we say hello to her and please let her know he was heading off to Depot.

Janet, sometimes we never know if we have helped someone along the way or made a difference in someone’s life. I wanted you to know that you made a huge difference in this young man’s life and he is now going on to pursue a career in the RCMP because you took the time to assist him when he could have easily made the choice to go the wrong way in life.

Thank you for making a difference in this young man’s life. I know he will be forever grateful to you.

Watch for baby ducks, geese Editor: It’s spring, and many different types of baby animals are being born. This is a reminder to everyone to be aware and careful of that. The parents and young ones will appear where you’d least expect them — often on our roads, as crazy and busy as they are.

For example, there are several ducks and geese sitting on their eggs right now, waiting for them to hatch any day. Once they’re hatched, mom and dad will march

them to a body of water where they will raise them. That could be in the most awkward place, right smack in the city.

They aren’t aware it’s across 200 Street, or such. They just have to get to water. So please people, slow down, watch out, and help them cross safely. We all share this planet, and it’s our duty. Thank you, L.S. TAILLEUR, LANGLEY

Widening of 208 Street needs to take place soon Editor: I read with interest the letter to the editor by Bruce Jones (The Times, May 20).

I agree that the widening of 208 Street from the freeway overpass to 64 Avenue needs to take place as soon as possible, to

Visitors to Fort Langley tourism booth come from all over the world Editor: I see the Langley Visitors Centre has closed down (The Times, May 22). No wonder. It was a terrible location, not near any tourist attractions, not near the highway and no easy access.

We, as volunteers, have manned the Tourist Information Booth, donated and built by Marcon Construction on the grounds of the Fort Langley Community Hall, for the past four years. We kept our statistics and tracked our visitors who came for directions, information or just for a chat, to tell us how lovely Fort Langley is. They came from all over the world.

We averaged about 3,000 during peak summer season. We picked up all the tourism information booklets from the Tourism Langley office to supply our booth, but could never get anyone from there to come and work a shift with us.

The booth was, and still is, open Thursdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m., when we have enough volunteers,

The shifts are usually two to three hours.

The booth is open from the May long weekend until after Labour Day, and on a few other special occasions as well. We currently are looking for volunteers again, (no age limit), to work a few shifts this season.

If you are interested, contact Bays Blackhall of the heritage society in the train at the train station. She would love to hear from you.

It’s a lot of fun, meeting and talking to people from everywhere, helping them out and promoting the businesses here in Fort Langley. You can also send an email to: fortlangleycommunityhall.com Come down for a chat and see what it’s all about.

Valley Direct Furniture

the perfect

With the outdoor entertaining season now upon us, many are starting to hunt for the perfect patio furniture and accessories to beautify their outdoor living space.

From fire pits and love seats to swivel rock chairs and elegant dining tables, Valley Direct Furniture in Langley has a variety of high-quality pieces that not only look fabulous – they’ll also stand up to the West Coast weather.

“Whether you have a deck area, porch or patio, it’s important to remember that we live in B.C., not California,” said Martin Horner, owner of the family-run retail destination that opened around 24 years ago at 19853 Fraser Hwy. The store offers a wide range of eclectic furniture, ranging from shabby sheik and

modern to country or transitional.

Horner consistently strives to bring in the latest and greatest products for his customers, for both inside and outside the home.

“We’re not anything like a’ big box’ store where you’ll find the ‘same-old’ commodity items made from materials that won’t last and end up in our landfills,” said the Langley entrepreneur, who also owns the Valley Direct Furniture Outlet store at 5511 192 St. in Langley.

“Our distinct products – some of which are manufactured locally– are so different from what you’ll find anywhere else.

We’re selling a style, a look.”

While both the main store and outlet offer top-notch service and a great selection, there is a distinct variation between the two, notes Horner.

“Our main store is more fashion-forward... we’re always striving to find the

can help you create outdoor oasis next colour or style in the industry,” he said.

“The outlet location buys some ‘closeout inventory’ and ships older merchandise in so that our customers save money!”

And while some of the eclectic furnishings are constantly revolving through the door of the outlet store and is available for immediate delivery at both locations, the main store is known for its made-to-order-furnishings.

“Whether it’s custom upholstery madeto-order or a dining table manufactured to order, we can furnish your entire home,” said Horner.

The store’s spacious showroom also carries a wide selection of one-of-a-kind art and accessories for the home, as well as

lamps, chandeliers, candles, pillows and area rugs – eclectic pieces to help liven up any living space, big or small.

For anyone needing large-scale artwork for their home, Valley Direct Furniture is just the place to find it.

“A lot of the larger homes with big vaulted ceilings require larger art – a 24 inch by 24 inch painting just isn’t’ going to cut it,” said Horner.

“We also offer smaller pieces for condos and smaller dwellings.”

Horner encourages anyone who hasn’t stopped in to his store to swing by, check out the stunning showroom and say hello.

“Whether you’re in the market for a centre piece for your dining table or a great picture for your great room, Valley Direct can help with your needs!”

From Langley to the Hall LEAH PELLS SET FOR INDUCTION INTO B.C. SPORTS HALL OF FAME G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r t s

Most 11-year-olds are not taken too seriously when they make grand declarations.

So when Leah Pells opened her mouth and announced she was going to run in the Olympics one day, those around her told her that was a very nice goal to have.

“Mostly the reaction would be ‘good for you, that’s cute you think that,’” Pells recalled.

“But I could tell, reflecting back now, that they were probably thinking there is no way and she has no clue. She’s just a kid.”

And tomorrow (Thursday), Pells — that ‘kid’ — will be inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame.

••• Pells was born in Vancouver and after living for a few years in Surrey, moved to Langley with her mother and younger brother, Lance, when the parents divorced.

After starting with the South Fraser Track Club in Surrey, Pells joined the Langley Sports Club — the precursor to the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club — when she was eight years old.

Pells played plenty of team sports during her school years — she attended Belmont Elementary and then junior high at Brookswood and high school at Langley Secondary— but she loved running the most, especially the middle distances.

“I liked the individuality of it,” she explained.

“I loved the independence and oneness of running.”

It was with the club where Pells told Steve Read, one of the Langley coaches, about her Olympic aspirations.

“Mr. Read took me more seriously because he knew how much I loved running,” Pells said.

“Although probably in the back of his mind he was thinking ‘OK, you are an 11-year-old kid living in Langley, the Olympics is quite a step away’. “(But) nobody told me I couldn’t.

I just thought someone is going to do it; why can’t I do it?”

Read recalls an athlete who was not the most gifted athletically, but was determined.

“She didn’t have a lot of success initially; there was no thought she would go on to become a Canadian champion or anything like that,” he said. “(Leah) is a very determined individual; she works very hard at anything she does.”

“Obviously she knew what she wanted and was willing to work for it,” Reid said.

“She was extremely determined at anything she did.”

••• After graduating from Langley Secondary in 1981 — she finished school a year early after skipping

Grade 4 — Pells attended Simon Fraser University.

It was in Burnaby she met Mike Lonergan, then an assistant coach at the national high performance training centre. He would go on to coach Pells over the next 20 years.

“We knew she was talented; it became very evident that she had a great physical talent just from her first training sessions,” he said.

Competing at the NAIA championships, Pells managed to win both the 800 and 1500 titles. Even more impressive was the fact the races were an hour apart.

“To me that was really the eye opener. Lots of people are physically talented, but you have to be a competitor too.”

Also working against Pells was the fact there were so many talented middle distance runners in Canada at that time.

“It wasn’t easy. At that time, in Canada, there were so many girls who were really good, who were world-ranked, so it was a tough nut to break, in terms of making it on the national team and making it to the world championships,” Lonergan said.

“It was a hard thing to do because there were so many good runners there.”

••• In 1992, Pells fulfilled that childhood dream, qualifying for the Barcelona Olympic Games.

It was the first of three straight appearances at the Olympics, as she also represented Canada in 1996 in Atlanta and 2000 in Sydney.

She said the only greater feeling was when her son Luke was born in 2002.

“Making the first Olympic team had the most meaning because it was all those years of hoping, wanting, trying, believing, and then it really happened,” she said.

“It was such a dream,” she said about the first time she qualified for the Olympics.

“It was such a powerful feeling to know that you could set your sight on something that most people don’t think you could do and then you did it. It is very freeing to achieve something like that.”

All three of her Olympic experiences were different.

In Barcelona, Pells felt like an Olympic tourist since it was so new to her as she tried to soak everything in.

“You are too exhausted to compete properly and I competed horribly,” she admitted. “(But) I learned a lot at that Olympics that helped me.”

Four years later, Pells put her new knowledge to good use.

“I knew more of what I had to; I wasn’t so enamored by the Olympic propaganda,” she said.

L eah Pells Collecti o n/ B C Spo rts Hall o f Fame

Leah Pells got started in track growing up in Langley and is now being inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame. Pells finished fourth in the women’s 1500m race at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

“For me, it was just about competing. This is my job, I am here to win this.”

And it showed on the track as Pells placed fourth in the 1500m event, missing the bronze medal by a mere half second.

While some may be bothered to come up short of the podium on the world’s biggest stage, Pells has a different view.

“For me, just being able to hold it together and compete well enough to continue through the rounds, and then have my fastest time ever — in an Olympic final where there is all that stress — it was a win-win,” she said.

“I never had that feeling ‘oh I wish I had a (medal). I was so incredibly grateful that everything came together and I gave it everything, that was the fastest I ever ran, that was it.”

She completed the race in a personal best 4:03.56. The fourthplace finish marks the best-ever result for a North American woman in the event.

Three years later, Pells did find the podium in the 1500m event at the Pan Am Games in Winnipeg.

“It was very satisfying; I have never been a big hardware person but it was nice to have a medal,” Pells admitted.

She would compete at one more Olympics the following year, but got hurt at the Games.

Her son was born in 2002, and in hindsight, Pells knows she should have retired following the 2000 Olympics. But didn’t want to go out on an injury, so she trained for one more shot at the 2004 Games.

“I didn’t want to retire with an injury, I wanted to compete and then retire,” she said.

However, when her mother Lana passed away in the summer of 2004, Pells quit on the spot.

“That was it, I just stopped then and there,” she said. “I was done, I was ready.”

She retired from middle distance running, having attended six world championships, three Olympic Games, three Commonwealth Games and a Pan American Games.

Pells still runs daily — 5 km every morning before work and then 15 km on both Saturdays and Sundays — and she holds the Canadian women’s record in the one-mile run at 4:23.28, which she set in 1996.

••• These days, Pells works as a school counsellor in Coquitlam and is also a registered clinical counsellor with a small private practice.

She holds a bachelor of arts in psychology and a bachelor of arts in education from Simon Fraser University. She also has a masters degree in counselling from UBC. Pells also works as motivational speaker and wrote a book Not About the Medal, which chronicles her upbringing in a single-parent home of an alcoholic.

“I needed to make peace with all of that and put it behind me and move on,” she said.

••• Pells — who admits to not being a fan of banquets and formal recognition — is thrilled some of those who have helped her along the way will be there to share in her special day.

“This banquet is more about representing and appreciating my village, my coaches, my family, my husband (John Turenne), my son, the companies that helped me,” she said.

“I had a lot of people help me along the way and this is going to be about acknowledging that.”

“I am grateful that my coaches Steve Read and Mike Lonergan will be recognized,” she added.

“When I was competing, I talked to Mike or saw Mike every day for about 18 years.”

“You don’t get paid to coach track and field, even at an Olympic level. These guys just do it because they are good guys.”

••• The Banquet of Champions will be held at the Vancouver Convention Centre West and Pells is one of nine individuals and one team who make up the 2015 induction class.

So much more than a homeless shelter

It hasn’t been easy, but the Brookswood Bobcats have managed to fulfill one of their season’s goals: qualifying for the provincial soccer championships.

“We have had to dig deep together as a team,” admitted coach Dave Da Costa of his roster which features a mix of all five grades and a goaltender who is an international student from Germany who had never played organized soccer before.

And it was a tough start to the season for the Bobcats.

“We started off very soft with three ties and some very strong teams to play going into the back half of the season,” said Da Costa, who coaches the team alongside his daughter Brianna, a former student at the school.

“I was very concerned that we wouldn’t be able to qualify for provincials.”

“We made a few adjustments and when we came up against Burnsview, it was becoming a do-or-die situation if we were going to move on,” the coach said.

After an even first half, Brookswood erupted for four goals in a 4-1 victory.

Even more impressive was the fact Burnsview was undefeated up until that point.

Brookswood was seeded sixth for the Fraser Valley tournament and faced No. 3 Burnsview once again, this time winning 1-0 in the quarter-finals.

The ’Cats lost 1-0 to Holy Cross in the semifinals — Brookswood

The old saying goes third time’s a charm, but the Stafford Skyhawks took it one step further, finally winning a Fraser Valley Grade 8 boys tier 1 rugby championship on their fourth try.

“Our players worked very hard this season to ensure that we would have the chance to play and win this game,” said Stafford coach Kyle Anderson.

“This is a huge step for our program as this was the fourth straight year making the finals and the first time we were able to capture this elusive title.”

the lead changing hands on three separate occasions,” he added.

“Both teams contested very well at every break, making it rough for each other to really steal and maintain any momentum.”

The victory caps off a dominant season for the Skyhawks as the team went 10-0 in league play and the playoffs, outscoring their foes 463-97.

“Our goal at the start of the season was nothing short of getting into the championship game,” Anderson said.

“We did not look past any of the teams in our division, however, we were always training and preparing to be in the finals.”

The Skyhawks kicking game was a big factor in their success.

“There was not a team in the league prepared to handle that part of our game,” Anderson said.

“We were able to steal points off of our kickers’ foot when other teams struggled with this.

“And our other major strength was sheer speed,” he added.

“Our team was not the largest bunch of rugby players but they were fast and fearless.”

Anderson, along with coach Carl Hunter, also thanked the players for their dedication to the team and one another, as well as the parents and school administration for the ongoing support throughout the season.
