Langley killer looking for love DAVEY BUTORAC’S DATING PROFILE POSTED ON SAME PRISON MATCHMAKING SITE AS INFAMOUS MURDERER, LUKA MAGNOTTA MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Convicted murderer Davey Butorac is looking for love. The 36-year-old Aldergrove man, who was convicted in the murder of Langley City prostitute Sheryl Korrall, and is facing trials in the killings of two other women, has posted his profile on the dating website
“Canadian Inmates Connect.” Butorac’s profile indicates that he has been convicted of second degree murder and that his expected release date is undetermined. It does not specify that he was convicted of killing a woman. Butorac is set to go to trial, charged with second degree
murder in the deaths of Aldergrove mother, Margaret Redford, and Abbotsford prostitute, Gwendolyn Lawton. Butorac was originally found guilty of second-degree murder for killing Lawton, 46, and Korroll, 50, but appealed and won new trials for both. In April, he was found guilty again by a jury of his peers for

killing Korroll. He will be sentenced in September. He was scheduled to be back in court in connection to the other two women’s deaths, on July 2 to fix a date for trial. His dating profile reads that he likes music, drawing, talking on the phone and lifting weights.
Metro Vancouver voters have resoundingly defeated a proposal to add a 0.5 per cent sales tax in the region to fund transit and transportation expansion. The proposed Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax that would have funded $7.5 billion in upgrades over 10 years was rejected with 61.7 per cent of voters saying No and 38.3 per cent saying Yes. The defeat leaves the region without an estimated $250 million in new revenue the tax would have brought to expand transit. Surrey and Vancouver are expected to try to cobble together their own plan B strategies to built light rail in Surrey and a SkyTrain extension west along Broadway. But the region will be without the funding required for a broad 25 per cent expansion of bus service, including many more frequent express bus routes that had been in the mayors’ plan, nor will it have money for increased SkyTrain, HandyDart, night bus or SeaBus service that was to have swiftly kicked in after a Yes vote. Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner had warned that light rail would cost local residents more if the sales tax was defeated. Nor is it clear if light rail in Surrey — assuming it can be built with hefty senior government contributions — will be as viable and efficient in covering its operating costs if it is not accompanied by much-bolstered connecting bus routes to bring riders. “It sets up a really nasty situation where some people are getting improved rapid transit service in some areas but other people’s transit service is being cut back,” said Eric Doherty, a HandyDart advocate.

Pattullo replacement likely to go ahead From Page 1
‘Yes’ forces had argued defeat would mean worsening congestion as the population grows and demand pressures worsen on a frozen transit system, spurring more transit users to drive instead. ‘No’ campaign head Jordan Bateman exploited many voters’ unwillingness to pay more — especially to TransLink — and argued more money could be found if cities restrained their own spending and tax growth. He successfully framed the campaign as a vote on TransLink, which he accused of mismanagement and which had come off major SkyTrain breakdowns and a failure to fully launch its new Compass card payment system on time. Mayors never wanted the referendum and repeatedly said something as crucial to the region as transit expansion should not go to a public vote. They had previously wrung a pledge from former Premier Gordon Campbell to allow a new transit revenue source. But Premier Christy Clark backtracked from his stance and promised in the 2013 provincial election a new tax source for TransLink would only be allowed if it was approved by local voters. Left with only that path to new funding, mayors agreed last year
to the vote and chose a hike in the provincial sales tax from 7.0 to 7.5 per cent within Metro, rather than other options, such as a vehicle levy. With the sales tax rejected, mayors could still raise TransLink property taxes, which are an existing source, but they are loathe to do so. That option has been repeatedly suggested by the premier. If mayors hold firm to the need for a new source, it’s unclear how that can happen without a new referendum the premier has said can’t be held before the next municipal elections in 2018. In the meantime, observers predict some cities will consider freezing much new development in areas that planners had assumed would be served by better transit in the future. Any clampdown on new home construction could drive real estate prices higher. One project TransLink is still expected to pursue is the $1 billion replacement of the Pattullo Bridge, to be funded through tolls. Mayors also intend to pursue some system of road pricing and Transportation Minister Todd Stone has signaled some form of tolling reform will be required if the Pattullo and future Massey Tunnel replacement are both tolled, leaving only one remaining free crossing of the Fraser River.
Summer CounterAttack kicks off this weekend Keeping impaired drivers off the road continues to be one of the RCMP’s national priorities. Police have begun their Summer CounterAttack season, and for the month of July, a particular emphasis will be placed on locating Langley’s impaired drivers. On Friday, July 3, the Langley RCMP will be out, actively looking for people who driv-
ing under the influence. Enforcement efforts will focus on several key areas in Langley. Langley Mounties are also participating in the Light Up the Bridges campaign that will see roadblocks on local bridges. On average, 86 people die in B.C. every year in crashes involving impaired driving, 23 of those in the Lower Mainland
alone. Impairment remains a leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C. “Motorists can expect Counter Attack checkstops at various locations throughout the Langleys,” said Sgt. Alex Mulvihill, NCO in charge of Langley RCMP Traffic Services. “If you’re going to drink and drive in Langley, expect to get caught and dealt with according to the law.”
‘Pointy object’ held to victim’s throat
ROB BE RY SUSP E CT
Langley RCMP allege a man robbed another man of his wallet while holding a pointy object to the victim’s throat on June 29. The victim was walking in the 20400 block of 54 Avenue when the shirtless suspect approached him, shortly before 11 a.m. The suspect produced a pointy object, which he held to the man’s throat as he took his wallet, said police. Anyone with information that might assist police, is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604532-3200 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

From the beginning of the referendum, ‘No’ campaign leader Jordan Bateman, argued that TransLink had mismanaged taxpayers’ money and should not be rewarded with an additional .5 per cent tax. Several observers expect a major shakeup coming to TransLink. SFU City Program director Gordon Price said the TransLink board of directors should submit to a reconfirmation of their seats by the mayors’ council.
He said the result means the region will likely have to live with “a second rate transportation system” because it’s all we can afford. “Politically, it may be better for the province not to have to
commit itself to large scale, sustainable ongoing funding, but to be able to pick and choose those projects it believes are best for the region, but also politically advantageous and affordable,” Price said.
Site allows inmates to receive letters and photos from potential mates From Page 1
He is looking for a ‘special girl’ to share life with. The Canadian Inmates Connect site garnered attention last week when it was discovered that Luka Rocco Magnotta, who made headlines worldwide for the grisly killing and dismemberment of a university student in Montreal in 2012, had posted a profile. Magnotta, who is being held at a Quebec prison, says he’s looking for his “prince charming,” for a long-term, committed relationship. Surrey Six killer Matt Johnston is also looking for love on the dating website. Johnston, who is serving his time in Quebec, says he is an honest person and ‘never turns his back on a friend.’ The inmate dating website was started by a Canadian woman in 2013. It isn’t affiliated with Corrections Canada, however, the federal agency doesn’t scrutinize the accuracy of the inmates’ pro-
files or limit their ability to meet new women through the site. The website has been criticized as being offensive to victims of crime. Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney has asked that Correctional Service Canada ensure dangerous and violent criminals aren’t able to further exploit individuals. There is at least one man on the site who is a convicted rapist, but most are murderers. Through the site, the inmates can receive letters and pictures from women and, if they want, they can get married in the jail. Most recently, convicted criminals, including men convicted of murder and assault in Langley, have started their own Facebook profiles while in prison. The inmates are able to interact with friends through Facebook. Corrections said that federal inmates do not have access to the Internet. – files from Sheila Reynolds, Black Press

From a baby porcupine to marmots and mink, this year’s open houses at Critter Care wildlife rehabilitation centre is going to be wild and woolly. “This has been an absolutely crazy year, very busy with so many animals,” said Critter Care founder Gail Martin. “This heat has been hard on all the animals and the volunteers and staff, too.” Critter Care released nine bears back to the wild on June 24. They still have six in their care, including the two cubs that arrived small and emaciated last May. Critter Care specialize in the treatment, care and release of sick, injured and orphaned B.C. mammals, including skunks, raccoons, coyote, deer, otters, bobcats, lynx, bears, opossums and squirrels. Once a year, they open the facility to the public to let them see how it all works and for people to have the chance to meet some of the babies and see all their antics. This year, the two-day open house takes place on Saturday, July 11 and Sunday, July 12 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Along with plenty of entertainment, food and tours to see the animals, animal rescuer Norm Snihur will be there along with his two-seater helicopter. “Norm picks up wildlife for us all over the province and brings them to us,” said Martin.

Kitten Palooza is being called a huge success with hundreds of people visiting the Langley animal shelter and more than two dozen kittens being adopted on Saturday, June 27. The Patti Dale Animal Shelter in Langley adopted out 23 kittens and one adult cat that day. “We have only one adoptable kitten left,” said LAPS animal care manager Jayne Nelson, who organized Langley’s first Kitten Palooza. Ori, a tuxedo with a lovable personality, is still looking for a home. “We also took many applications for kittens not yet available — that means we have whole litters of kittens that already have great homes waiting for them once they are spayed and neutered.” Well Seasoned owner and Township councillor, Angie Quaale, and her partner, David, sold hotdogs and water by donation and raised over $300 for LAPS, running out of hotdogs in the process. “All and all, (it was) a fan-

Q: What is a dental implant? A: If you are missing one or more
teeth, you may want to consider having them replaced with dental implants. A dental implant is an artificial root that is inserted into the jaw bone. A replacement tooth is then attached to the dental implant, which simulates the look and feel of your natural tooth. Dr. Cheung, DMD Multiple implants may be used to Dentist replace multiple missing teeth, and a combination of single crowns, fixed bridges, or even removable dentures may be anchored onto these implants. Dental implants are a comfortable and long-lasting option for healthy, suitable candidates. Speak with your dentist to determine whether dental implants are the best option for you. Your dentist may have special training in placing implants, or may refer you to a specialist for the procedure. Keep in mind that the whole process will require multiple appointments, typically spanning over a period of 4-6 months before completion. Lastly, just like your natural teeth, dental implants need to be properly cleaned and cared for – that way, they will last a lifetime in your mouth. #104-6424 200th St., Langley 604-533-3000 wcdentalctr@shaw.ca NEW PATIENTS WELCOME!

Drinking water reservoir levels have fallen rapidly in Metro Vancouver and tougher water use restrictions are a conservation option. A move to stage 2 restrictions could, if necessary, be directed by the regional district’s water commissioner, according to Metro utilities committee chair Darrell Mussatto. He said he wouldn’t be surprised if that happened by July 3, but Metro water services general manager Tim Jervis said last week his department does not yet anticipate a need to go that far. “We had a record dry May, June is very dry and we’ve got hot weather coming up,” said Mussatto, mayor of North Vancouver City. “We need either some rain to fall in significant amounts to get the reservoirs back up or we’re going to have to look at curtailing use.” Under Metro’s Water Shortage Response Plan, stage 2 restrictions would force residential lawn sprinkling to be cut to one day a week, ban aesthetic washing of driveways and sidewalks, as well as much use of pressure washers.
Fountains and water features would be shut down and water play parks could only run with kid-activated buttons under stage 2 restrictions. Watering of school yards, sports fields, park lawns, cemeteries, boulevards and golf course fairways would be cut to minimal levels, in most cases once a week. Mussatto said the lack of rain and hot weather has been a “double whammy” driving demand up — water use is running 17 per cent above last year’s rate so far. On top of all that, the region had near-record low snow accumulation in the mountains, so the typical inflow into reservoirs is greatly reduced. Metro’s reservoirs were at 83 per cent capacity as of June 24, but a graph comparing the water supply to historic trends shows an alarmingly steep drop in recent weeks towards record low levels. “That red line is not where we would like to see it,” Mussatto said. “The reservoirs are not getting filled up and we’re using more than we normally would, which is not a good combination.” He urges home owners to stop watering lawns altogether as he
has done. “You don’t need to water your lawn. It goes dormant. It doesn’t die.” People used to hosing down driveways and pressure washing decks should switch to a broom, he said. The region has asked BC Hydro to reserve extra water from the Coquitlam reservoir, which the Crown corporation manages, in case it’s required for drinking water. The region would have to pay Hydro up to $600,000 if it taps the extra water that might otherwise be used to generate electricity. Stage 3 and stage 4 water restrictions could be imposed under Metro’s Water Shortage Response Plan to further conserve water, if necessary. At stage 3, all lawn sprinkling is banned, and hot tubs and pools can’t be refilled. At stage 4, all watering of plants with treated drinking water is banned, all car washes, water parks and public outdoor pools shut down, and many other water uses are allowed only if ordered for health and safety reasons. Mussatto said the region has only ever briefly imposed stage 2 and 3 water restrictions, in 2002. Stage one restrictions are the standard rules that run from June through September allowing thrice weekly lawn sprinkling from 4 to 9 a.m.

Question langleytimes.com
Here it is, the first week of July. Summer isn’t yet two weeks old and already, we’re in the midst of a heatwave with no end in sight. Could it be that the relentlessly hot weather is making our brains soft? Is there another possible explanation why, despite the fact that temperatures have been lingering in the high 20s or low 30s for what feels like forever and despite the lack of rain and resulting in desert-like conditions, people are still flicking their butts? Never mind that carelessly discarded cigarettes are litter and are, therefore, disgusting. Under the right conditions — exactly the conditions, coincidentally, that British Columbians find themselves in at the moment — they have almost unlimited potential for destruction. What we can only hope is a small minority of smokers are giving what is already a widely reviled habit, an even worse name. Whether they’re flicked out the window of a car, or dropped and given a half-hearted turn of a heel during a walk, cigarette butts are being discarded without, apparently, so much as a second thought to the property, lives or safety of everyone around them. In Langley last weekend, it was a tossed cigarillo that ignited a cedar hedge and melted the side of a house. And it could have been so much worse. It’s a problem, of course, for City and Township fire crews, who have to gear up and battle searing hot flames in 30plus degree weather. But it’s a much bigger issue than that. Even before summer officially arrived last week, the province had all but tapped out its wildfire fighting budget for the entire year. Dry lightning storms in the Interior continue to ignite parched vegetation, leaving crews scrambling. Mother Nature doesn’t need any help from humans in that department. But she’s getting it anyway. June’s unrelenting dry heat was certainly out of character for the typically cool and soggy month, but this is hardly the first stretch of hot weather British Columbians have ever seen. We know better.

Did you celebrate Canada Day at a community event this year?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
Three-year back up Three years ago this month, a dozen politicians gathered at the Inn at Laurel Point for a press conference about sewage treatment funding. Reporters from every outlet in town took furious notes as officials proudly committed $500 million from the provincial and federal governments towards the most expensive project in Capital Region history. Langford Councillor Denise Blackwell, then chair of the CRD’s core area liquid waste management committee, estimated shovels would be in the ground by the “beginning of next year, for sure.” That year came and went, as did 2014, with little more than an upgraded pumping station and $60 million to show for it, as ill-advised plans to put a wastewater treatment plant and a biosolids facility in Esquimalt imploded. An educated public raised hell to push the reset button and eventually proved that the democratic process can still putter to life when prodded. But what has the region actually accomplished since that hot July morning full of gold-star promises? The CRD is at least attempting to collaboratively restart the sewage locomotive before federal treatment guidelines come down hard in 2020; and local elections have installed new mayors who prize public engagement over cocooned decision-making in the two largest Southern Island municipalities. As Langford Mayor Stew Young told Black Press recently, the botched Seaterra program has been “a debacle and waste of taxpayers’ money,” and he noted most of that wasted money won’t be recovered. That means the final price tag for a regional sewage treatment network is almost certainly going to increase beyond the allotted $788 million, which means the overspend will be siphoned directly from the coffers of municipalities and by proxy, homeowners’ bank accounts. – Saanich News

Runaway real estate market Anniversary putting the squeeze on locals committee Editor: It is another excellent deception by Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson — another tax levy (cash cow) for the city, taxing high-priced real estate and deflecting his role in a runaway industry, at the same time. Excuse me, but all of Metro’s real estate market is overpriced. Its entire makeup is perception and drivers that echo the stock market — not actual, tangible value. Housing is now a commodity. There is no density debate amongst Metro residents. Residents know that one million people are coming and they also know they have no say in it. For most there is only feelings of anxiety and for a few there is the anticipation of a windfall. It is ironic that the very ambiance that made Metro a magnet is now being destroyed by the capitalists that are creating the market. The same factors that create this real estate frenzy are creating traffic congestion. The problem starts with federal
government, but every level of government nurses, capitalizes and promotes it. Creating lane-way houses and 300-square-foot lofts may suit a handful of idealists with rose-coloured glasses, but you can’t raise a family of four, five or six in that space. To the fanatics who argue building more roads only brings more cars, specialty housing will only fuel market-making and higher prices — no studies needed. Already, road hockey has disappeared. It is against the law to smoke, drink, use air mattresses or beach balls at the beach but it’s OK to ooze your toes through the sand and dog s--t, where the most expensive real estate on the planet (west of Spanish Banks) is now a dog beach. Last year they actually closed the beach during a heat spike because — wait for it — there were too many people. The feds already fished out the richest fishing hole in the world in the Grand Banks and it will not recover in
our lifetime. The expected sockeye count on the Adams River last year did not materialize by half. These people can’t manage fish so now they will try managing people? Metro has been on water rations every summer for as long as I can remember. The million people will also need water and South Surrey ran out of that a few years ago for a couple of days. Maybe Nestle’s will help us out and we can buy some back from them for a dollar a litre. The foundation is already cracked, people are moving out because all their tax money is being used to finance the future and there is not enough left to look after today. The cost of this program is far too high. The locals are being squeezed financially, psychologically and physically. There is no debate. Fix the problem. RICHARD KEILL LANGLEY
Goat chasing event sets poor example for kids Editor: It is appalling that at a time when rodeos are under attack for maltreatment of animals and the fact that animals are exploited for entertainment, that the Langley Riders Society would be promoting youngsters to chase down a goat at their Little Britches Rodeo. What kind of message are you sending to children when you encourage them to put animals in distress? If you wouldn’t let chil-
dren chase puppies or kittens or put these animals through traumatic events in a rodeo, why would you do so to other animals just because they are labeled livestock? There is no difference in every animal’s will to live without pain or fright. I hope you will set a better example for society by teaching children compassion, kindness, and respect. PATRICIA TALLMAN LANGLEY
JAMES INGLIS L an gley Time s
Writer Patricia Tallman says that having children chase livestock, as was done as part of an event at the recent Little Britches Rodeo, is no different than allowing them to chase and traumatize a puppy or a kitten.
accomplished its goal Editor: Honouring the Past, Investing in the Future was the motto of this committee when we set out last year to celebrate Langley Memorial Hospital’s South Tower 50th anniversary. After months of planning and two special events — a tea for present and former staff, and a barbecue on the hospital grounds for staff and the public — we feel we have accomplished our goal. Judging from the decibel level at both events, it can be assumed that they were a resounding success. The excitement of people who had not seen each other for years, but still had so many memories to share, was intoxicating. And it was gratifying to feel the energy and interest of the present staff as they welcomed Langley citizens to view memorabilia, and tell stories of their association with LMH, particularly the South Tower that has become the cornerstone of the present facility. However, neither the tea in February nor the recent barbecue could have happened without the help and support of countless individuals. The Langley Township firefighters; the hospital department managers and staff; volunteers and LMH Auxiliary members and Sodexo staff went above and beyond in ‘assembling and disassembling’ for both events, and we sincerely thank you. Our thanks also to Mount Lehman Credit Union, J.D. Farms, Aldergrove Credit Union and Fort Langley BIA for the loan of tents for the barbecue; to Five Star Catering and Milsean Caterers for the good food, and to the Inglewood Band for the entertainment at the barbecue. Thanks to the Langley Times and the Langley Advance newspapers for advertising and covering the events, especially to Times columnist Jim McGregor for his excellent column about our hospital on the hill. Our special thanks to the two people who guided our committee — Graham Hiscocks of the LMH Foundation and Craig Goulet from Fraser Health Authority; and to Dr. Elaine Mah whose generous monetary contribution towards the celebrations made it all possible. Our committee has fulfilled its role to honour the past; now we leave it to the LMH staff and future generations of Langley citizens to continue to invest in the future. DORIS REIDWEG, ON BEHALF OF THE LMH SOUTH TOWER 50TH ANNIVERSARY COMMITTEE

This allows your lawn to stay green while increasing its resilience to drought. • Fix leaks in your toilets, showers and faucets. Repairing leaks is a great and easy way to save a lot of water. • Replace old inefficient fixtures in your house with water-saving fixtures. • Spread a layer of organic mulch around your plants to help the soil retain moisture. • Use rain barrels to water the garden – the flowers love rain water.

Lacrosse leads to business plan GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
in lacrosse, playing professionally during the winters in the National Lacrosse League and in the summers with his hometown Langley Thunder. And last off-season, Belton was picked up in a trade by the Vancouver Stealth from the New England Black Wolves. Now permanently in the Lower Mainland, it allowed Belton a chance to start putting his business acumen to good use by partnering up in a pair of business ventures. His first business is a company called CurbSmart. A friend’s dad, who worked for a concrete company installing parking curbs in the Lower Mainland, realized there were a lot of smaller jobs which were not getting done. The company was started by Tanner Derrien, with Belton coming on board, providing his business knowledge to help revamp the website and company logo. And now comes his latest venture, and once again, he is partnering up, this time with a former intermediate and junior, as well as university teammate, Jordan McBride. The pair always talked about creating some sort of lacrosse company.
Owning his own business was always the plan for Kyle Belton and lacrosse has proven the way to accomplish that goal. It started by watching his father Cal successfully run his own business — Valley Car Colour, a car paint and auto supply company on the Langley/ Surrey border — for more than 25 years. “Growing up, watching my dad start a company from nothing, I knew that was something I wanted to do,” Belton said. Belton was always a high-level lacrosse player as he went through the ranks of the Langley Minor Lacrosse Association. And he played well enough to eventually earn himself a scholarship to play field lacrosse at New York’s Stony Brook University. “Lacrosse and being able to go to university, came handin-hand. I just took the opportunity to work my hardest and try and get a scholarship and live both dreams in that sense,” Belton explained. And when he wasn’t on the field, he was in the classroom earning his degree in business. Belton graduated from Stony Brook in 2012 but has continued
McBride graduated a year ahead of Belton and established Era Lacrosse in 2013 with Belton coming on board earlier this year once he relocated to the West Coast. The company has a full line of lacrosse shafts for athletes of all skill levels. McBride and Belton come up with the designs, send them to a graphic designer, and then get the sticks made overseas. They rely mainly on online orders, although they have begun attending major lacrosse tournaments, selling their sticks on site. “Jordan really laid the foundation for this company and I am just happy to be on board and be able to create shafts and (be) innovative,” Belton said. “It is cool to have an idea in your head and to have it actually come to life and hold it in your hands is pretty satisfying.” Belton compared being a business owner as similar to playing a game. “Like lacrosse, you never really know what is going to happen,” he said. “It is exciting; you get beat up and you have to pick yourself up. “You learn a lot about yourself.”

Three Langley wineries are featured in the 2015 edition of the BC Wine Guide. Township 7 Vineyards, Domaine de Chaberton and Vista D’Oro are the Langley wineries listed among the 26 featured in the guide. The guide features more than 40 pages of information for wine lovers to use this summer as they visit their favourite wineries and wine stores. “These may not be the biggest wineries in B.C., but I think they make the best wine,” said author Stephen Bruyneel. “For those used to the same

old names on the liquor store shelves, many of these will be a revelation, both in terms of quality and price.” The BC Wine Guide is a no frills, 40+ page guide to all of BC’s wine regions — the Okanagan, Naramata, Similkameen, Vancouver Island, and the Fraser Valley. Based on over 20-plus years of personal tasting, drinking and cellaring B.C. wines, it narrows down the wineries to visit, how to find them, their best wines, and even contains personal tasting “tweets”. “For some of the wineries and wines, it may well be the largest
collection of tasting notes ever compiled,” added Bruyneel. For those buying these elite wines, it gives you a sense of both their style and aging ability.” The format for the wine guide is pretty straight forward, with an emphasis on usability. “It comes as a PDF, so you can print it off or keep it on your smart phone to use while tasting or shopping,” said Bruyneel. “I hope it will show people just how good B.C. wines can be.” For more information, go to www.sgwinesite.com.

Healthy McBeth readies for GranFondo ROY MCBETH AIMS TO BE AMBASSADOR FOR ORGAN DONATION GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
While cycling 160 kilometres in less than five hours is an above-average time, Roy McBeth has his mind set on bettering his 2014 mark. Competing in the Prospera Valley GranFondo for the first time in 2014, McBeth finished the grueling ride in 4:53:38, which was good for 43rd in the men’s 35 to 44-year-old age group. It was also 43 minutes better than the average time (5:36.58) of all 502 participants for that distance. “I was not feeling very good, but I had made it,” McBeth said. “I don’t think I was slow by any means, but I would like to improve on that.” What makes his 2014 time even more impressive was the fact McBeth did so with a kidney functioning in the 15 to 17 per cent range, by his estimation. McBeth, who is now 45, has cycled for the past 20 or so years, competing in mountain biking, road racing, cyclocross, triathlons and Xterra, which is off-road triathlon events. But he always did so while struggling with a hereditary genetic condition called polycystic kidney disease (KPD). It is a disorder that causes multiple cysts to form in the kidneys. McBeth’s grandmother died of the condition in her late 30s while his dad passed away in 2010 at the age of 63. McBeth was diagnosed as a teenager. “There is not a lot you can do for the disease,” he explained. “The best options are to live a healthy lifestyle, watch your diet and don’t drink excess alcohol, that sort of stuff. “I knew it was coming. It was more trying to get out in front of what the end game was from what I had seen from other family members and knew that I didn’t want to go that route with the years of dialysis, kind of wasting away in that manner.” “I didn’t start to notice any decline in my health and my physical performance and competing until my mid 30s; that’s when the kidney decline really started to accelerate (and) by the time I was in my 40s, things were really started to become problematic,” he added. Things really began to go downhill about two years ago. McBeth began to suffer high blood pressure, fatigue and lethargy. Cysts also began to grow on his kidneys, becoming so enlarged that it became harder to exercise because the cysts would

Roy McBeth (above, right) was the recipient of a new kidney from his boss, Kevin Wright (left). McBeth won the Prospera Valley GranFondo Fortius Changing Gears contest and has spent the past few months (photo below) preparing for the 160-km GranFondo ride. The fourth annual ride begins and ends in Fort Langley on July 19. push on his diaphragm, making it harder to take deep breaths. He also suffered nausea, headaches and just generally not feeling well. “Things sort of snowballed and once things go bad, they pick up and get bad quite fast.” He was facing either dialysis — a process that removes waste and excess water from the blood and must be performed four or five hours every second day — or a transplant. None of his family members could donate a kidney due to their history of PKD and neither his wife Anne nor her family members were suitable matches. McBeth, a detective with the Abbotsford Police Department’s domestic crimes unit, was encouraged by one of his sergeants to draft a letter and forward it throughout the department. A number of people were tested
to see if they were a match, and one, Insp. Kevin Wright — McBeth’s boss — was found to be a suitable donor.
This was last November and on Jan. 14, the pair went in for surgery at St. Paul’s Hospital. McBeth woke up the next morn-
ing feeling better already, he said. Within five days, he was home and within a couple of weeks, McBeth was able to walk a few kilometres. And within six weeks, he was back on his bike riding. His recovery time was helped by the fact McBeth had a healthy lifestyle, was younger and the fact his donor was alive and also healthy. McBeth’s also entered the Fortius Changing Gears contest. The contest asked for submissions from cyclists who were training for the 2015 Prospera Valley GranFondo with the winner receiving a Fortius Sport & Health Cycling Training Experience, valued at $3,500. The winner would meet an exercise physiologist who would design an individualized training program to help the rider achieve their goals. McBeth has been working with Fortius since early March. The 2015 Prospera Valley GranFondo is set for July 19, and once again will begin and end at the Fort Langley Historic Site and take riders through the scenic Fraser Valley. McBeth did a 50-km mountain bike ride in May and last month did a triathlon. Another thing McBeth is doing is trying to spread awareness about organ transplants and donations. “It has been such a remarkable journey for me and you really see the impact it has on people and their lives,” he explained. You meet all these people who have gone through similar circumstances and what their journey has been. And because things have gone so well for me, I really hope to spread the word about organ donation and show people what is possible.” McBeth has designed a kit which features the Donate Life and B.C. Transplant logos. It also features the date of his transplant on one sleeve while the other has a donor ribbon with Wright’s initials. He doesn’t typically bring up his story unless someone asks him after seeing his kit. “When I am out riding with people and we are doing 100 km training rides, I don’t bring it up until someone will ask me what the kit is about,” he said. “It is a real conversation starter.” “Once people ask I am more than happy to let people know.” McBeth wants to be a role model/ambassador for living donor organ transplants. As part of his plan to spread awareness, McBeth, his wife, Wright and Wright’s wife plan on competing as a relay team at the Penticton Challenge in late August. They will set up a tent and banners and try to register more people for organ donation. — with files from Vikki Hopes/Black Press

When all was said and done, probably 300 schools of all sizes contacted point guard Aislinn Konig. And when the dust had settled, the 17-year-old from Langley had chosen North Carolina State, verbally committing to join the Wolfpack women’s basketball team for 2016/17. “It is a lot quieter around the house,” Konig said about having the decision out of the way. She gave the Atlantic Coast Conference Division 1 school her verbal commitment last month. Konig, a five-foot-10 point guard who enters Grade 12 in September, has captured back-to-back most valuable player awards in leading the Brookswood Bobcats to consecutive B.C. 3A senior girls provincial titles. “Probably the best player I have ever coached, and I have coached some good ones,” said Brookswood coach Neil Brown. “She is a kid who is very focused on what she wants.” Brown said he was amazed that his point guard was able to maintain her focus this past season, given the level on interest she was generating from college and university coaches. “Every practice, game, there were coaches sitting and watching,” he said, adding that there was also the con-

Brookswood Bobcats’ Aislinn Konig has won back-to-back most valuable player awards in leading the ’Cats to consecutive provincial high school championships. Konig enters Grade 12 in September for her final year of high school before she attends North Carolina State on scholarship in 2016. stant barrage of emails, texts and letters. “To keep an even keel … she is just an extremely talented and focused kid.” Brown also said that despite all the attention she has received, Konig has never gotten an ego, and maintained her work ethic. Out of all her recruiters, Konig said she went on 10 unofficial campus visits, but just two official visits: Stanford and then North Carolina State. And after visiting the Ra-
leigh school, she was sure of her decision, although she did not give her verbal commitment until about 10 days later. “When I got there (Raleigh), I pretty much knew,” she admitted. “It wasn’t a super easy choice, but after I made it, I had no regrets.” Konig said she felt a good bond with the people she met from the program and that was important to her. “You want to be surrounded by people who you think you will have a good relationship
with and enjoy talking to because on those difficult days, those are the people that are going to be there for you,” she said. Another factor was making the school and the program had ample support from the athletic department, as well as liking the potential of the Wolfpack. With the decision out of the way, Konig will gear up for the AAU season, playing for BC’s Finest out of the BC Elite Basketball program coached by her father Frank.

Blaze burn Royals in doubleheader After a close call which required extra innings in game one, the Langley Blaze made sure game two was no contest, sweeping a doubleheader against the last-place Parksville Royals. Langley improved to 24-12, which is good for third spot in the B.C. Premier Baseball League. Brendan Coulter tossed a gem, allowing just one hit over four innings in an 11-0 Blaze win on Sunday afternoon at McLeod Park. The offence was taken care of Brendan Halstrom, as he had three RBIs while Tony Pharand and Dayton Wilson drove in a pair apiece.
The first game saw Langley fall behind 3-1 in the fourth inning before the Blaze rallied to lead 4-3 heading into the final inning. But after the Royals forced extra innings, Langley won it in the bottom of the eighth when Broden Bydeweg scored on a Parksville error. Yi-An Pan picked up the win with 2.1 innings of relief pitching. He struck out three of the nine batters he faced. Wilson had a pair of RBIs for the second straight game. The Blaze are in Victoria on Sunday (July 5) for a doubleheader against the Mariners.

organization funded by auto insurers. The goal is to reduce injuries and fatalities (on U.S. roads and highways), but its powerful research has an impact worldwide, no pun intended. The tour was truly a revelation and demonstrated well how most of today’s cars come through rigorous impact tests with good marks and those that don’t soon get a fix. We were hosted by Subaru Canada, which has much to boast about, though it was restrained in blowing its own trumpet on location. All Subaru models have been named IIHS “Top Safety Picks” for six years running. And that’s some feat: to qualify as a 2015 Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn ‘good’ ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests, as well as a ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’ rating in the small overlap front test. Subaru is excited that its optional ‘Eyesight’ system has earned the top IIHS rating of Superior for front crash protection. According to Subaru Canada, the company expects the percentage of buyers opting for Eyesight to increase from the current 19 per cent to 30 per cent by the end of the 2016 model year. The Eyesight system detects obstacles and is capable of bringing a vehicle to a complete stop at speeds up to 50 km/h. By the way, for those concerned about crash test dummy cruelty, Raul Arbelaez, vice president of operations for the IIHS, says: “Our dummies aren’t getting as hurt as much they used to. We don’t have to replace as many rib cages anymore.”
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety goes to great lengths to test the crash worthiness of new vehicles. Do you pay close attention to their assessments or are you happy that today’s cars differ little in the safety stakes? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca for the question of the week

Verdict Here is the part that is hard to swallow, the price. The ELR starts at $78,250 - a lot of money for any car. This is a very limited market, a two-door sporty looking Cadillac that is also electric. If they made this into a sexy 4-door, the ELR would have more takers. As it stands, Telsa seems to have that market cornered for sexy and expensive electric cars. What the Cadillac has over the Tesla is a world-class interior, something Tesla has fallen short on. On the flipside, Tesla has a huge available electric range without the aid of a gasoline engine. So the market for the ELR is limited. If you are in the market for a two door futuristic ready to drive concept car, this one is very well executed; it turns heads everywhere it goes. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

ELLIOTT, Gregory Wesley Mar 22, 1961 - June 17, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing, of Gregory Wesley Elliott, at home with family by his side on June 17, 2015. Greg leaves behind his loving wife of 28 years, Nancy, daughters Brandi (Greg) and Robyn, son Jeff Yoerger and grandson Landon Yoerger, brothers Vern (Ev) and Colin (Lorraine), sisters Sylvia Furlot & Marna Penner, and many nieces, nephews, family and friends. The family would also like to thank the wonderful palliative care nurses, especially Deanna and Teresa, for their care and compassion. Greg grew up in Port Kells and graduated from Lord Tweedsmuir in 1979. That same year he began a 29 year career at West Rim Express Lines. In 2008, after the sale of West Rim, Greg began working for Stewart Trailers, where he worked until being diagnosed with lung cancer in May 2014. Greg will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate to know him. A celebration of his life will be held on July 19, 2015, at 1pm at the West Langley Hall at 9402 208 Street. In lieu of flowers, the family asks those to donate to a charity of their choosing. HOPE, Donna Lee (nee Whipple) Born Nov 2, 1940 of Langley, BC passed peacefully June 26, 2015 at Royal Columbian Hospital. Predeceased by her son, Kenneth, parents John & Florence, Brother John. Survived by her devoted husband of 58 years Barry, daughters Cindy Larsen & Shelly Lee (John), Grandchildren Andrew (Sarah) Courtney (Jordan), Taylar (Tyler), Amanda, Mackenzie, Bailey & Cassadie. Greatgrandchildren Lucas, Mila, Kaleb & Evelyn. Many wonderful family and friends, Little Dawn, Lil & Ann for over 50 years! Donna was a loving lady with a wonderful sense of humor and a giving heart. She lived her life and passed on in her own terms. Thank you to the amazing staff of the High Acuity Unit at RCH for your kindness and treating Donna with respect and dignity. Think of Donna bobbing on the waves in Hawaii! In lieu of flowers do something on your bucket list! A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Come and spend the day in the country & sign up for a guided tour to see all the baby animals. Enjoy family entertainment, our concession stand and check out our Critter souvenirs.
