Grow-op next door I have no rights in this.

Margaret and her husband Paul say they are unable to do anything about a marijuana grow-op in the house next door to their new Walnut Grove home because it is licensed.

WALNUT GROVE HOUSE WITH A LEGAL MARIJUANA GROW-OP FRUSTRATES NEIGHBOURS D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Frustrated residents of a Walnut Grove neighbourhood say they would have been better off with an illegal grow-op instead of the licensed medicinal marijuana growing operation that operates out of a house on their street.

Because the owner of the house has a Health Canada licence to grow the marijuana, neither the Langley RCMP or the Township of Langley bylaw enforcement office can close it down.

It has been a maddening experience for Margaret and her husband Paul, who live on one side of the grow-op, while Chris

and Elizabeth live on the other (For safety reasons, The Times is not using their last names nor divulging their addresses).

Both couples moved into the neighbourhood of recently-built, larger homes with generous backyards about a year ago.

They noticed no one seemed to be living in the modern two-storey house between

them.

The backyard was neglected and overgrown and the owner, a man who appeared to be in his 30s, hardly ever seemed to be around.

When they did speak to him, he was polite, but nervous, they said.

More traffic coming to 16 Avenue TOWNSHIP SURVEYS RESIDENTS ABOUT PLAN TO RUN TRANS-CANADA CONNECTOR THROUGH SOUTH LANGLEY D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The Township of Langley has been polling residents about a proposal to send more traffic down busy 16 Avenue.

The King Road connector is an Abbotsford plan that would connect Highway 1 to 16 Avenue.

It would link King Road, at Bradner Road, with Mt. Lehman Road at Marshall Road.

The Abbotsford municipal website says the road link “will provide an important transportation connection between Abbotsford and Langley/Surrey through the 16th Avenue corridor and will reduce traffic volume on Fraser Highway and 8th Avenue.”

Abbotsford held a public consultation meeting about the King Road connector of local residents in that city on Tuesday, April 14.

A report is due in September.

Langley Township posted an online poll about King Road and other proposed changes to 16 Avenue on the municipal website

Motorcycle crash kills father, injures son

in July. It asked residents to rate their concerns about safety and traffic congestion issues along 16 avenue.

The Township also wanted respondents to review proposed short, medium and long-term options for the designated truck route.

Short-term plans, defined as the next five years, could include pull-outs along the mostly twolane road to allow drivers to get around slower-moving vehicles and permit police to pull people over.

Medium-term, defined as a 10-year-period that follows, would see 16 Avenue become a four-lane route west of 176 Street with a median barrier. There would be more left-turn lanes and five intersections in Langley, and Abbotsford would get traffic lights: 208, 232, 272, Lefeuvre and Bradner.

The medium-term plan includes construction of the “King Road Connector” by Abbotsford.

D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s

Officers attended the scene of a multi-vehicle collision on 16 Avenue near 227 Street in June. The Township has just wrapped up a poll of residents about a proposal that would funnel more traffic down the road.

Long-term plans, 15 years or more from now, would add still more left-turn lanes and widen the road to four lanes east of 176.

The intersections at 224 and 240 would get traffic lights.

The proposals are listed in a recently-completed study of 16 Avenue by Surrey, Langley Township and Abbotsford, along with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, ICBC and TransLink.

The study notes that the 16 Avenue corridor “has a history of safety and traffic operation is-

A father-and-son summer motorcycle ride turned tragic in Glen Valley on Wednesday afternoon.

A 41-year-old Abbotsford man was killed and his 10-year-old son is in hospital after the motorcycle they were riding collided with a farm truck in north Langley.

According to Langley RCMP Sgt. Alex Mulvihill the crash, in the 26700 block of 88 Avenue, took place just before 5 p.m.

The man and his son were travelling east on

sues” and “speeding is reportedly a problem.”

It also notes the route is currently running 13 to 16 per cent truck traffic, compared to the “average arterial” which carries five to 10 per cent trucks.

Langley Township would pay more than the other two municipalities combined if all the proposed changes were made — $133.5 million compared to $72.5 million for Surrey and $20.5 million for Abbotsford.

88 Avenue when they collided with a flat-bed truck making a left out of a driveway onto 88 Avenue.

Both the man and boy were ejected from the bike. The man died at the scene.

The boy was airlifted to B.C. Children’s Hospital where he is said to be in stable condition.

Both were wearing helmets and that likely prevented any head injuries for the boy, said police.

Police are investigating whether poor sight lines played a role in the crash, which occurred on a small, slightly elevated, bridge.

The motorcyclist may have had his sight lines blocked by the rise in the road.

There were several witnesses and the back road was fairly busy at the time, said Mulvihill.

The driver of the farm vehicle was uninjured.

Police urge all motorcyclists to drive defensively and not to speed.

They also recommend that riders wear proper gear. That wouldn’t have helped in this crash, but riding gear can minimize road rash and injuries, said police.

Estimated 600 legal grow-ops exist in Langley From Page 1

Then the unmistakable odour of marijuana began to waft from the house.

They first thought it was an illegal operation and went to the police, only to discover, in late July, that the owner was a licensed medicinal grower.

“I have no rights in this,” Margaret said.

“I can’t do anything about this.”

She put a sign on her front lawn that reads “grow-ops do not belong in residential neighbourhoods.”

Paul is concerned about the potential fire hazard posed by running a grow operation in a house that is clearly not designed to serve as a greenhouse.

Both couples expressed concern

that criminals would discover the grow-op location and attempt to rob it.

“What if they (criminals) go to the wrong house?” Chris said.

They also expressed concern about the possible health hazard posed by the fumes from the pot plants, especially to the young children who live on the street.

They said the various authorities they’ve contacted have told them they can’t close the growers down.

“No one wants to help,” Elizabeth said.

She wants the federal candidates running in Langley to answer a question.

“How would you feel if the home beside you was an entire grow-op?”

Wineries, brewers can now sell booze they didn’t make

There are more than 600 medicinal grow-ops in Langley, according to Township estimates.

They were all supposed to close last year, when all of the smallscale growing licences issued by the federal government were set to expire under new medicinal marijuana regulations that took effect April 1.

The new laws would have banned growing in residential areas and switched to a system of large-scale bulk marijuana cultivation.

To prepare for the new federal law, the Township of Langley approved changes to the municipal property safety bylaw that would impose a fine of at least $500 and as much as $10,000 a day on any small growers if they continued

cultivating pot plants after the law changed (Langley City imposed similar restrictions).

But the Township bylaw is unenforceable, because a court battle has delayed the new federal regulations from taking effect.

When the small growers objected to being eliminated and went to court, they managed to obtained an injunction.

As a result, the new federal law is in limbo.

The Federal Court of Canada is expected to decide whether the injunction should be made permanent within the next couple of months.

Most observers expect whatever the ruling is, there will be an appeal, extending the current situation another year or two.

That leaves municipalities with limited tools to handle complaints abut grow-ops.

They can order grow-ops to improve their air filtering to reduce, if not eliminate odours, and they can inspect houses with growops to make sure they don’t present fire or other safety hazards.

In response to the Walnut Grove residents’ complaints, the Township bylaw enforcement department has sent a letter to the owner and an inspection has been scheduled.

No one responded last Saturday when a Times reporter knocked on the front door of the house.

There was also no response to a note left on the door inviting the owner to contact the newspaper to give his side.

REWARDED FOR SHOPPING.

CROSS-PROMOTION TO BE UNLEASHED WITH NEW LIQUOR REFORM JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s

Wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries with licensed lounges can now sell patrons liquor they didn’t produce.

Until now, a distillery couldn’t sell anything other than the spirits it produces — a glass of B.C. wine was off limits — and a winery couldn’t oblige if one guest at a table wanted a beer instead of the local grape.

Those lines are erased under the latest SUZANNE ANTON change stemming from B.C.’s liquor policy review.

But there will be a limit — a maximum of 20 per cent of sales by a given producer can consist of liquor produced off-site. That’s intended to keep the focus on unique local offerings.

“We are doing away with B.C.’s archaic liquor rules,” Attorney General Suzanne Anton said, adding the change will give more choice to consumers while supporting B.C. tourism and small businesses.

Craft Distillers Guild of B.C. president Tyler Dyck said the move opens the door for craft brewers, vintners and distillers to cross-promote each other.

The new rules also apply to special events, so a wedding or other event at a winery or other liquor producer will no longer have to get a special occasion licence to serve alcohol.

Anton indicated more reforms may be coming in areas where “further red tape can be cut.”

We are doing away with B.C.’s archaic liquor rules.

A teenager was treated for a stab wound to the hand on Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 4.

Langley RCMP said a young man required stitches after an apparent stabbing that took place outside the Value Village around 3:45 p.m.

The victim was driven to a friend’s house in the 197000 block of Willoughby Way before paramedics were called.

Police are following up on information that was provided and possible surveillance footage in the hope of identifying a suspect.

Stronger language, but no dollar amount in new mobile home policy LANDLORDS WON’T BE FORCED TO COVER RELOCATION COSTS DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

A new Township policy uses stronger language about redeveloping mobile home parks, but does not include a requested requirement that would have forced owners to pay relocation costs for displaced residents.

The municipal Seniors Advisory Committee wanted the Township policy revised to require landlords to pay up to $25,000 to cover the cost of relocating by residents of a trailer park when it gets closed because of redevelopment.

However, a report by Township planner Teresa Kaszonyi found none of the mu-

nicipalities adjacent to Langley require mobile homes park landlords to pay relocation costs.

The Township doesn’t have the legal power to compel landlords to pay compensation, either, the report added.

“Municipalities have no authority to make regulations relating to a manufactured home park owner/tenant relationship,” the Kaszonyi report stated.

However, a municipality can negotiate relocation costs with the owner when they apply for the necessary rezoning to redevelop a park, she said.

Council approved a revised policy that “emphasized more strongly that Council

is concerned that the needs of tenants be taken into account as part of redevelopment plans.”

Council also adjusted the language to make it stronger, including changing the part that says a landlord “should” consider compensation for residents displaced by redevelopment, to have it say a landlord “must consider assistance in addition to the provisions of the Manufactured Homes Park Tenancy Act,” including “payment of reasonable relocation costs.”

Council endorsed the changes at the July 20 meeting. It’s estimated the Township has 35 to 40 per cent of all manufactured homes in the Metro Vancouver region.

DESPITE THREESAILING BACKUP, FAMILY WAS ABLE TO SAY GOODBYE TO GRAVELY ILL RELATIVE ON VANCOUVER ISLAND A Langley family is praising a BC Ferries agent for being “a light for us in a very dark situation,” during an emergency on the long weekend.

On Aug. 1, Glenda Johnston learned that her brother-in-law in Campbell River had had a massive stroke and was “gravely ill.”

“You need to get here fast,” she was told.

But on a long weekend, when ferries were backed up for three sailings, and it seemed unlikely she and her mother-in-law would be able to get to his side by that afternoon.

That’s when Johnston called the BC Ferries 1-800 line and spoke to agent Danica Marrs.

Marrs assured Johnston that if they could get to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal by 2:45 p.m., they would be put on the 3:15 p.m. sailing.

With only an hour to pack and get there, the family made GLENDA JOHNSTON it onto the ferry and were able to say goodbye to their brother before he passed away. “… [Danica] you helped this family more than you could ever know,” Johnston wrote on the BC Ferries Facebook page.

“You helped a mom get to her son, to help that mom see her son leave, the son she brought into this world.

“When you get up in the morning and think to yourself...’Gawd..another work day”, please remember what you did for our family, you made a difference, your efforts on Saturday go beyond a thank you and I only hope that when you desperately need help that a kind stranger like yourself finds their way to you.

“May you be blessed forever with love, compassion and all of life’s very best.

“From the Johnston family please accept our sincerest Thank you.”

Johnston’s post has more than 16,000 “likes” on Facebook, has been shared more than 3,000 times and has more than 500 comments.

BC Ferries replied on the post, “We are sorry to hear of your loss, never an easy time — our sincere condolences to you and your family.

“I have shared your kind words with Danica — she is most definitely one of those shining stars and I’m pleased to hear she was able to assist during your time of need.

“Thank you for taking a moment to share your kind words with us, gratefully appreciated.”

You made a difference, your efforts on Saturday go beyond a thank you.

Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society and LEPS are inviting residents to come on a treasure hunt — of sorts.

Next weekend, if all goes to plan, volunteers will be out in force, combing the banks of the salmon-bearing creek in Aldergrove and plumbing its depths in search of rubbish (see story on page 10).

No doubt they will dig up all sorts of mysterious objects, along with the usual heaps of paper, plastic and metal — the mystery being not so much what the objects are, but how they came to be there.

Truthfully, there could be almost anything down there.

For some, finding out is as good a reason to go as any.

Personally, we’re fascinated by that one specific item that always seems to be in the mix.

Look at any creek running through any town anywhere and you’re almost guaranteed to find at least one.

We’re talking about the humble shopping cart.

We get that they’re easy to come by and incredibly convenient to transport, but — like pairs of running shoes strung up over power lines — their incongruous presence has left us wondering if there is more to the phenomenon than the fact that it’s fun to roll them and watch them plummet.

Probably not.

Either way, volunteers next Saturday will no doubt have their work cut out for them, hauling the heavy metal carts up the creek’s banks, along with all the other flotsam and jetsam they uncover.

It is most definitely laudable — if messy — work, and the two host groups, along with anyone who chooses to join them, are to be commended for their efforts.

Of course, the more gumboots on the ground that day, the quicker and easier it will all go.

And if you’re planning to help out, waterproof footwear is really all you need to bring, along with whatever clothes you don’t mind getting a bit grubby.

They’ll provide a good chunk of the gear, including gloves, bags and some chest waders.

It’s a great opportunity to help restore Bertrand Creek to health for the salmon that depend on it for life.

And in case that’s not enough incentive, they’ll be providing snacks.

Question

of the week

Has the falling loonie led you to curtail your shopping excursions south of the border?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Drive message home they

Summer is in full swing, the patios are packed with people enjoying a cold one and backyard barbecues and picnics abound.

Unfortunately, summer holidays, sunshine and high temperatures can combine to concoct a deadly cocktail of people drinking and driving.

RCMP, ICBC and other police agencies launched another Counter Attack program earlier this month to try and put a dent in the carnage resulting from people continuing to drink and drive.

Only a concerted effort will drive the message home that we need to put the brakes on drinking and driving for good.

If you know your circumstances may include a couple of drinks, take the time to arrange a ride home or ensure you have a designated driver.

It’s much easier to take the time and plan ahead, compared to what you will deal with if you drink and get behind the wheel. It can save your life, the lives of those you love or the lives of innocent others.

One bad decision can leave scars that never heal and a trail of shattered lives ruined by a booze-fueled lapse in judgment.

You can be part of the solution by letting the police know if you see someone who is drinking and driving.

While programs like drinking and driving Counter Attack and media coverage have resulted in a reduction in impaired driving offences, the sad reality is there are still people out there who just don’t get it.

Enjoy your summer and help spread the word that if you are foolish enough to drink and drive, there are more and more people out there watching with an eye on getting you arrested and off the road.

Target CEOs’ salaries, not firefighters’ Editor: I read the letter written by Mr. Leonard Kube (The Times, July 24) regarding the reduction in salary of any public worker making more than $200,000. His assertion that no firefighter should earn more than $100,000 because Mr. Kube has lived in Langley his entire life and never witnessed a fire is strange, to say the least.

I’ve never seen a bank robbery or a murder, does that follow that we don’t need policemen?

I’m also skeptical about any letter writer who asserts, as Mr. Kube does, “And everyone in this municipality would agree”.

I have trouble speaking for myself, let alone the entire municipality.

While his aim of reducing salaries is laudable, I think he’s aiming his barbs at the wrong people.

I think he would have more sympathy if his targets were CEO salaries.

These are just some of those CEO salaries: Starbucks: $10,285/hour; Dunkin Donuts: $4,889/hour and the poor old CEO of Walmart has to struggle by with only $2,704/ hour. It’s not just the active executives, the recently retired chairman of a local cable company has to get by on a pension of $16,000 a day.

Just think, every 7.5 days he “earns” the salary of one of those overpaid firefighters.

The money for these overpaid public workers comes from, as Mr. Kube states, “the working man’s (could have included woman’s) pocket,” but so does the salary of a CEO. Their salaries don’t just spring from the ground or are picked off of trees. There is only one common pool.

Where is federal funding for indoor pool?

EAT. PLAY. SOCIALIZE.

Editor: It was with great dismay that I saw millions of dollars being given by the Conservative government to a variety of projects in Langley with no money at all being given toward an indoor pool in Aldergrove.

Why is that?

I am dumbfounded.

After the announcement of the new recreation centre for Aldergrove I talked with the mayor, councilors and Township staff.

I asked if there were any grants available and I was assured if they could possibly get a grant to enclose the proposed pool they would do it.

I understand that it was the Conservative government’s final decision on how much and where the money would go, but there would have been consultation with the Township.

The Langley Township council does not care if the children, teenagers, adults and seniors of Aldergrove have an indoor pool.

They had their chance to give us one without cutting down a single tree but they refused to give Aldergrove the indoor pool that we have been asking for, for over 30 years.

Gas prices remain stubbornly high despite oil’s dive JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Gas prices remain stubbornly high despite the latest slide in crude oil prices and infuriated Lower Mainland motorists are feel-

ing gouged yet again.

Metro Vancouver gasoline is down only slightly from $1.40 a litre a year ago, while crude has plunged more than 50 per cent from around $98 a barrel to less than $44 as

of last Friday.

It’s as if the widely heralded era of cheap energy has bypassed B.C. But petroleum industry analysts say it all boils down to supply and demand.

Crude oil accounts for less than half of the end cost of a litre of gasoline, with government taxes and refining charges the other big factors.

“I wish there was a simple explanation,”

said Jason Parent of the Kent Marketing Group.

“There isn’t much of a relationship on a dayto-day basis between crude oil and retail gasoline.”

Expecting gas to move in lockstep with

crude oil is somewhat akin to expecting house prices to follow lumber prices, without recognizing scarce land or an influx of buyers might have an influence.

Parent said crude

and gas prices can go in different directions for different reasons, and gas prices in B.C. can diverge from what other Canadians pay — which is what’s happening now.

Most of the difference between Metro Vancouver prices and the rest of the country is explained by the higher 17-cent-a-litre TransLink tax as well as B.C.’s carbon tax.

Motorists are paying just over $1 in Alberta, a few cents more in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and $1.10 to $1.20 in most of Eastern Canada.

But even after taxes are factored out, Vancouver prices are 5 to 15 cents a litre higher than most other cities across Canada.

The reason, Parent said, is that Vancouver-area prices follow those along the U.S. west coast, where the wholesale gas supply has been constricted by refinery problems in California, driving prices up.

“Wholesale prices have been high there relative to the rest of the U.S. for a month now,” Parent said.

Some gasoline comes to B.C. through the Kinder Morgan pipeline, but the rest comes from Washington State or other U.S. refineries.

If prices were sharply higher in Vancouver than cities to the south, Parent said, gas would flow back to the U.S. — resulting in shortages here — or wouldn’t be shipped north in the first place.

Another “huge” factor behind why Canadians in general aren’t yet seeing much relief at the pumps is the drop in the loonie over the past year.

Crude and wholesale gas are priced in U.S. dollars, so Canadians are paying with a devalued currency that simply doesn’t go as far as it did a year ago.

So who is profiting from the persistently high pump prices?

“Right now, refiners are the big winners,” Parent said.

They’re running close to capacity, demand is up because of lower gas prices and therefore refiners can charge more than usual.

If crude oil prices get even cheaper — potentially as sanctions against Iran end and more oil pours onto the world market — there’s no guarantee gas prices will follow because of the refining constraints in North America.

The non-profit society that runs the Langley Senior Recreation and Resource Centre at 20605 51B Ave. paid $5,000 to settle a wrongful dismissal lawsuit filed by a former employee, court records show.

Joanna Spady was director of executive and administrative services at the Langley Senior Resources Society when she was fired in October of last year.

In a written statement of claim filed in Surrey Small Claims court on Jan.23, a lawyer for Spady sought $10,000 in damages for wrongful dismissal, plus $1,615.95 in overtime and $102.60 in gross pay.

According to the one-page document, Spady worked for the society from March 7, 2011 until Oct.29, 2014 when she was terminated.

During a 55-minute settlement conference on July 10, court records show that Spady and the society agreed to settle the case for $5,000, payable in two installments by July 15.

London Bull sets up shop in Langley NEW RESTAURANT CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING IN WALNUT GROVE GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The idea for London Bull was developed more than a year ago, but determining where to open the first location took a little bit longer to establish.

The goal was to create a neighbourhood pub-style atmosphere with an expanded menu, and was the brainchild of restaurateur Scott Morrison, a 2014 BC Restaurant Hall of Fame inductee.

Morrison is also behind Browns Socialhouse, which has a pair of Langley locations and several others in the Lower Mainland.

With the concept behind the restaurant already developed, all that remained was determining where they would open the first location.

“The site presented itself to us,” said Bruce Fox, the chief operating officer and vice-president of development for Browns Restaurant Group.

London Bull officially opened its doors yesterday (Thursday) at 20090 91A Ave. in Walnut Grove. The building has sat empty for the past couple of years after East Side Mario’s closed its doors.

And the higher-ups with Browns were very familiar with both the specific location and the surrounding area.

“We knew the Langley area very well,” Fox said.

“We are through it all the time on our way to and from our (other)

restaurants and along came this opportunity.”

While they had bandied about where to open the first of what they hope will be more London Bull locations, Walnut Grove offered much of what they were looking for.

“We were looking for neighbourhoods that have already got an established traffic pattern,” Fox explained.

“And the (movie) theatre is there and all that commercial, industrial up the road — that’s a good lunch business, a good evening business.

“There is a lot of residential (homes) to the south and the east.

We feel there is a good mix.”

The menu features appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, pizza, pub fare, pasta, burgers and desserts, plus there is a weekend brunch menu.

There is also a diverse draft beer selection.

Inside the restaurant, a pie shop — called Marshall’s Performance Pies — serves fresh baked pies, ice cream and shakes.

London Bull held a hiring fair last month and they now have a staff of between 65 and 70 people.

The restaurant seats 140 inside with a patio that can accommodate another 70 guests.

It will be open at 11 a.m. Monday to Friday, and at 10 a.m. on weekends and holidays. It will close at midnight all seven days. The brunch menu will be on weekends and holidays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

London Bull opened the doors to its first location in Walnut Grove yesterday (Thursday). The restaurant, which is part of the Browns Restaurant Group, is located at 20090 91A Ave. The restaurant seats 140 and the patio holds another 70 guests.

Welch wearing Maple Leaf with pride GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

E D UARD O VIL L ANE UVA PHOTOGR APHY

Langley’s Alisha Welch helped the Canadian junior national team win gold at the Canadian Open at Softball City last month. The 19-year-old is in Oklahoma City trying to help her country win gold at the world junior softball championships. Canada went 5-1 in preliminary play and advanced to the medal round.

Two years ago, Alisha Welch was nervous.

Just 16 years old, she had been invited to the training camp for the Canadian U19 junior national team fastpitch program.

Welch didn’t make the squad that year, but given another opportunity earlier this summer, there was no denying the Langley teen a roster spot this time around.

Even so, Welch admitted she wasn’t sure she would even crack the line-up at June’s final tryout camp.

“I had a good camp, but going into it, there were just so many good people,” she said.

“It is hard to know where you stand.”

Twenty-eight players were invited to the final camp in late June and Welch landed one of the coveted 17 roster spots.

“I was extremely nervous two years ago,” she said.

“I was more confident this time around.”

One advantage Welch had over her counterparts was two years of university ball under her belt compared to the competition, who were all coming off their freshman seasons.

Welch, who turned 19 last week (Aug. 6), is coming off her sophomore season at UMass Lowell, where she plays shortstop for the River Hawks and is studying plastics engineering.

She skipped the sixth grade

Knowing my hard work has paid off is one of the best feelings.

ALISHA WELCH

and graduated a year early (2013) from Walnut Grove Secondary.

“It is a big difference, having that year under my belt really helped,” Welch said.

“I had a lot more experience and the mental aspect, I was a lot stronger.”

University ball has been an adjustment as well.

She was recruited to the Massachusetts university after playing her club ball with the Surrey Storm. But following Welch’s freshman year, the coach who recruited her was replaced by Danielle Henderson, a former Olympic player for the U.S. “I thought it was going to be hard because you have to prove yourself all over again, but it wasn’t that bad,” Welch said.

Welch hit a team-best .299 with a .378 slugging percentage and a .371 on-base percentage. And the short-stop was one of only two players to start all 47 games.

Those numbers were up significantly from her freshman season, where she batted .221 while starting 41 of 48 games.

“I told myself to relax more,” Welch said.

“And at the plate, I didn’t think (too much), I just went up there and hit.”

And full of confidence after a spectacular sophomore season, Welch used that throughout the Team Canada tryout process.

“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to represent my country,” she said.

“It means so much to me to be able to wear Canada on my jersey, and knowing my hard work has paid off is one of the best feelings.”

The team won the gold medal in the Futures Gold division at the Canadian Open at Surrey’s Softball City in early July.

“Playing in Canada, wearing the Canadian jersey, it was all just so much fun,” she said.

“Seeing the crowd and having your friends and family there, it was an amazing experience.”

Welch is in Oklahoma City, OK this week for the WBSC XI junior women’s world softball championships.

“It is nerve racking but so exciting,” she said prior to leaving for the event. “I think once I get there, it will be so much fun and a good experience.”

She also hopes this is a stepping stone to one day play on the Canadian senior women’s national team, and hopefully represent her country at the Olympics if softball regains admission to the Games, which could happen as early as 2020.

Unger top catcher as B.C. wins Canada Cup Team B.C. has been crowned national champs for the third straight year at Baseball Canada’s U18 Canada Cup tournament.

The B.C. squad went 6-3 overall and defeated Team Saskatchewan 10-1 in the championship final on Monday in Saskatoon.

In the gold medal game, Langley’s Yi-Fan Pan drove in a pair of runs with a double.

Pan was one of five members of the Langley Blaze Premier program on B.C.’s 20-man roster.

Jesse Unger, the team’s starting catcher, hit .278 while playing six of the nine games and he won the top catcher award.

Pitcher Jake Polancic started a pair of games, going 1-1 with a 2.89 earned run average. He was also third on the team with 11 strikeouts in 9.2 innings.

Yi-An Pan and Michael Stovman both pitched out of the bullpen. Pan had one save in two ap-

pearances and retired all five batters he faced.

Stovman had a 2.33 ERA, striking out three in six innings over a pair of relief appearances.

••• Jesse Unger, Y-Fan Pan and Yi-An Pan have been chosen to play on the B.C. Orange roster for the upcoming Blue Jays Baseball 12 Academy Tournament.

The three are draft eligible for 2016.

Also competing at the event will be Langley Junior Blaze’s Rhys Cratty, who is draft eligible in 2017, and will be on the Navy roster.

The players earned their spots at tryout camps across the country earlier this spring and summer.

Tournament 12 — which features eight regional 12-person teams from across the country — will compete Sept. 14 to 18 at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Blaze fell short of pulling off a double-double.

The U16 baseball team captured the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League title with a 27-9 record.

But over the weekend at North Vancouver’s Parkgate Park, site of the provincial championships, the Blaze went 2-1 in the round robin and then lost 9-8 to the North Shore Junior Twins in the semifinal round.

Langley trailed 7-1 after one inning in that contest and chipped away to tie the score at eight heading into the bottom of the sixth. But the Twins plated the decisive run in their half of the inning and the Blaze could not muster another comeback in the top of the seventh.

Brendan Winning paced the offence with three RBIs while Jayden Knight drove in a pair.

In the team’s other games, they hammered the Victoria Junior Mariners 12-2, blanked the

Victoria Junior Eagles 9-0 and lost to the Whalley Junior Chiefs 6-4 in the final round robin game.

The first game saw Adam Reston drive in three runs while Wesley Moore allowed just two hits in five innings.

Game two was another two-hitter, this time from Jaron Jeske while Reston had two more RBIs. Whalley jumped ahead 5-0 after the top of the second and then hung on as Langley

scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth before losing 6-4.

Rhys Cratty drove in a pair of runs in the losing effort.

Superbly reliable.”

While the skies above had jets soaring overhead as part of the Abbotsford International Air Show, members of the Langley Flippers Swim Club were making some noise themselves at Abbotsford’s Centennial Pool.

The Flippers were in the pool for the Fraser Valley regional championships, ahead of next week’s provincial championships (Aug. 17 to 23) in Victoria.

Leading the way at the regional meet was Wendy Moss, as she won gold in 100m freestyle, silver in the 100m breaststroke and bronze in the 100m backstroke in Division 8. She was also fourth in the 50m freestyle.

Also in Division 8, coach Nick Todd won four silver medals — as well as setting new club records — in the 50m freestyle, 100m backstroke, 50m butterfly and 100m freestyle.

Another Div. 8 swimmer, Margaret Hu, captured bronze medals in the 100m freestyle and 100m breaststroke events.

And Rose Esplen (Div. 3) won bronze in the 50m butterfly and just missed the podium in the 50m backstroke, placing fourth.

Christie Switch (Div. 8) was fourth in both the 100m breaststroke and 100m freestyle events.

And the Flippers’ relay teams also found the podium with the Division 8 girls winning silver in the medley and bronze in the freestyle relays, while the Division 8 boys won silver in the freestyle and bronze in the medley relay. The Division 3 girls team was fourth in the medley relay.

Marlo Assoon (above left) pounds the pavement and Kevin Park hops onto his bike for the cycle portion of the MEC Langley sprint triathlon on Sunday morning. Two-hundred and sixty-seven people participated in the sprint triathlon. The sprint triathlon used the WC Blair Recreation Centre as the starting point, with competitors completing a 750m swim in the pool, a 20-km bike ride towards the U.S. border and then a 5-km run back to the centre. There was also a sprint duathlon, which saw another 43 competitors do the cycle and running legs of the race.

Ledoux leads the way

It was a three-medal performance for Renae Ledoux.

The 15-year-old won gold in the 100 breast and 200 breast events and bronze in the 50 breast as she led a team of swimmers from the Langley Olympians at the Canadian age group championships earlier this month in Quebec.

The six-day meet attracted close to 900 swimmers from 154 clubs across Canada, including a team of nine from the Olympians.

“We have been training hard and the swimmers were well prepared for this meet,” said Langley coach Brian Metcalfe.

“It was great to see so many of them winning medals at this level of competition against some very tough competitors, especially for the younger swimmers in the team.”

Bailey Herbert was another multi-medal winners as she won silver in the 12 and under 50m breast, 100 breast and 200 breast events.

She also won bronze in the 200 IM and made finals in three other events. Along the way, Herbert set six new club records.

In the 16-to-18 division, Hillary Metcalfe won bronze in the 50m breast and 200 IM events. She also placed fourth in the 100 breast.

Joshua Kim won bronze in the 13 and under 100 breast and also made the finals in three other events. He also set a pair of club records.

And Justin Schramm set a new club record in the 17/18 boys 200 fly event, finishing sixth overall. He also had an eighth and a ninthplace finish.

Chelsea Borrowdale finished 10th in the girls 16-18 100 breast event, Jenessa Hillman was eighth in the girls’ 14-year-old 1500 free and Brayden Kells was fifth in the 13 and under boys 200 breast.

Friday, August 14, 2015 27 ▸ Hyundai takes their entry-level Tucson crossover upscale for 2016 while increasing its price tag by a mere $400 despite a major gain in standard equipment.

DrivewayCanada.ca |

▸ Exceptional structural rigidity and absorbent underpinnings gave the Tucson a remarkably smooth, well-controlled ride over the worst of West Coast roads.

▸ Not only is the Tucson generously equipped; its cabin is well thought-out and beautifully executed.

▸ The all-new Tucson makes a strong visual statement with bold styling and a longer, wider stance.

the best of them in the fiercely competitive compact crossover segment.

While Hyundai’s soft-touch surfaces and intuitive architecture are praiseworthy, it’s the larger slice of ‘content’ pie which they serve that sets the Tucson apart from its contemporaries under competing nameplates.

“More for less” has always been a Hyundai hallmark, and the Tucson adheres to the credo with its outstanding list of standard and near-standard features, including safety tech such as Blind Spot Detection with Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection.

Thoughtful touches include heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-level cargo floor, and a remarkably convenient Proximity power liftgate. The latter opening by merely sensing the key in proximity of the liftgate for three seconds.

No longer can the Tucson be considered an entry-level crossover despite its modest across-the-board increase of roughly $400. The upscale climb includes the availability of an optional 1.6L turbocharged I-4 GDI engine harnessed to a segment-exclusive 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT).

The turbocharged mill fortifies the AWD Tucson with 175 horsepower and 195

lb.-ft. of torque, and is the obvious choice for passing-lane adherents. The base 2.0L I-4 GDI (required with FWD) is the powerplant of choice for the modest. It shells out 164 horsepower and 151 lb.-ft. of torque through the auspices of a six-speed autobox.

Three drive modes – Eco, Normal, and Sport – enable drivers to tweak engine response, shift mapping, and steering resistance, to correspond with the mood of the day. I really didn’t find a need for Sport mode, largely enjoying the Normal setting most.

After spending a day administering the turbocharged and non-turbocharged Tucson variants, I departed the Sunshine Coast with the view that Hyundai has raised the bar for refinement, comfort, and value in the compact crossover segment. Albeit, handling dynamics and sheer athleticism may still belong to the likes of Mazda’s CX5.
