The trial of the Aldergrove man, charged with two counts of second degree murder, finished Thursday as Madame Justice Elizabeth Arnold-Bailey gave her instructions to the jury in a New Westminster courtroom. “The most difficult part of your job is about to begin,” she told the jurors. The jury will decide if Butorac killed Gwedolyn Jo Lawton of Abbotsford, and Sheryl Lynn Koroll of Langley.
Both women were found dead and dumped in isolated areas – Lawton in a ravine in rural Abbotsford, Koroll in an industrial lot of Mufford Crescent. Both were killed within months of each other in the spring and summer of 2007. Both were prostitutes. Both were short and slight women, each weighing barely more than 100 pounds. Police arrested Butorac in early 2008, and he has been in custody awaiting trial ever since.
Arnold-Bailey reminded the jury of their key responsibilities in her lengthy charge. She said they had to begin by presuming Butorac was innocent, and see if the Crown’s evidence could prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Absolute certainty is not required, she said. “It is nearly impossible to prove anything with absolute certainty,” said Arnold-Bailey.

Dust off you ‘thee’ and ‘thine’ and head to the annual festival devoted to the Renaissance era. The fourth annual BC Renaissance festival runs July 16-18. The event has moved to Thunderbird Show Park, which will be awash in brocades and velvets and courtly language all weekend. Christina Carr, when she’s not wielding a sword as a pirate, is the organizer and has rounded up a crew of about 100 people who will portray various characters or work behind the scenes of Renfest. “The villagers [re-enactors] have been in
rehearsal for months and will interact with the public,” she explained. The event is open to the public. Entry is $15 per day for adults or $35 for all weekend and less for seniors and children. People can rent or buy costumes if they want period dress but Carr said there’s no dress code at this family-friendly event, save for the requirement that people cannot bring weapons. As well, no pets are allowed. And the Society of Tilt and Lance Cavalry, from Calgary, will be returning to perform jousting on horseback. In addition to roast turkey legs (very popular fare at Renaissance events), there will be other period grub and modern eats. The Renaissance era continues to fascinate people, providing an escape from the modern world to a place where chivalry was the order of the day. “We have such a romantic image of it,”
Carr said. When organizers were looking for a place to move Renfest a couple of years ago, they wanted somewhere easy to get to but far enough away from urban development to allow people to feel like they are in an age 500 years ago. “It’s just far enough away that we can create the atmosphere,” she said. Carr said the ultimate goal is to have a permanent business with paid staff providing a Renaissance experience, able to host events, weddings, parties and more. “I would love to give people these unique opportunities,” she said. Carr pointed to the Pennsylvania experience as an example of the benefits of this industry that combines history and education with entertainment. The state has a festival that brings in approximately 250,000 tourists annually and has increased tourism by almost 60 per cent.

Ambulance woes magnified What’s online Local flagger dies
A 49-year-old Langley man was killed while trying to control traffic at a road construction site on the Lougheed Highway in Mission Thursday. An eastbound Jeep swerved to avoid another construction worker, and struck the victim, who was working as a flagperson. He had been about to stop traffic. Police said the accident doesn’t seem to be linked to speed, but the driver may have had the bright morning sunlight in his eyes. • More online

cheapest of the options. Groups from environmentalists to business owners had called for a variety of other routes, and the Township had considered routes down 64th Avenue, Fraser Highway, and 48th

Hijackers injure trucker A cargo of electronics was lifted by thieves. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A truck driver was pepper sprayed by hijackers who emptied his rig of electronics early Thursday morning. Just after midnight, the driver was using the gas station card lock in the 9300 block of 200th Street when two armed men
appeared, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Ravi Pawar. The two men pepper sprayed the victim, and threatened him with other weapons as well. Police are not releasing details about the men’s weapons. The hijackers forced the driver back into his truck and drove off with him. They took him to an unknown location in Surrey, where they emptied the truck’s cargo of electronics. The hijackers then drove
the truck to the 16600 block of Fraser Highway, and left it there with the victim inside. Pawar said the hijacking appears to have been a targeted theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of electronics. The Langley RCMP Serious Crime Section is investigating. Anyone with a tip can call the RCMP at 604-532-3200 or to remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Grass fire potential high Discarded cigarettes have the power to devastate after several weeks of dry weather. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Langley Township firefighters are asking residents to be careful with their cigarette butts, after several grass fires. “It is quite dry out here,” said assistant Township fire chief Bruce Ferguson. The fires have been most notable in Brookswood. So
far all of them have been put out quickly and none has spread to cause serious damage to buildings. Ferguson notes that there is a blanket ban on open burning outdoors at this time of year in the Township. That means no backyard bonfires at all. “You can still use your barbecue if it’s briquettes or propane fired,” Ferguson said. People dropping cigarette butts in particular are asked to either not do it at all, or to make very certain the butt is out. Bruce Ferguson So far, Langley City hasn’t had too many problems with grass assistant fire chief fires.

Hunt on for gravesite cleaners
The Murrayville Cemetery’s historic headstones are getting a polish this summer. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
One of Langley’s lesser known cemeteries is getting a little tender loving care from volunteers and Langley Centennial Museum staff this summer. Twice a week, gravestone cleaning will take place at the Murrayville Cemetery. Last year, the Fort Langley Cemetery was the recipient of a gravestone cleaning program. Over 130 years, many gravestones have accumulated a layer of dirt, hard water stains, lichens, and moss. For the oldest gravestones, there are often simply no family members left to care for the graves. However, the stones are a link to Langley’s earliest pioneers. While Fort Langley’s cemetery is highly visible, Murrayville’s is off the beaten track, surrounded by high trees and invisible from major roads. It sits on the edge of a bluff over-

Reprieve for lake The “lake” may stay in Aldergrove Lake Regional Park through next year. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Sundays 10:00 am
It’s a slender thread of hope, but Aldergrove Lake Regional Park’s swimming hole might stay open another year or two. At Tuesday’s Metro Vancouver Parks meeting, the committee accepted a plan by Township Councillor Mel Kositsky. “The committee voted to keep the swimming place open as long as possible,” Kositsky told the Langley Advance. Metro Vancouver’s plan to shut the swimming hole down at the end of the year is now on hold – pending a risk assessment. Parks staff will have to take a look at whether the lake can be rebuilt to meet health, safety, and environmental regulations. The bottom of the swimming hole, a 40-year-old concrete lined bowl, is deteriorating and leaking. “No one wants to close it, but the reality is, it’s on life support,” Mel Kositsky Kositsky said. Kositsky said there is no guaranTownship councillor tee that the study will find a way to keep the lake open even into 2011. “If health and safety issues emerge, they will close it,” he said. Parks east area manager Wendy Dadalt said there have been concerns over both the environment and human health. The pool is chlorinated and regularly re-filled from a well to keep water levels up. But the well almost ran out of water last August, and the chemicals have spilled several times, causing concern for local fish and wildlife. “It’s chlorinated water, very close to Pepin Brook,” Dadalt said. The brook is home to two species at risk, including the Nooksack dace. The study into the swimming hole’s viability will be part of the 2011 parks planning process. There will be public open houses on the matter next year.

Tuberculosis case’s origins in doubt
WorkSafeBC won’t cover costs for a TB patient who believes he was infected by a Langley co-worker. by Glenda Luymes Postmedia Network Inc.
An Abbotsford man who believes he contracted tuberculosis from a coworker in Langley is upset by a WorkSafeBC decision to deny him lost wages for sick days and doctors’ visits. Marcos Mirus, 18, learned he has a latent, non-contagious TB infection, after testing was initiated by his employer, EV Logistics. Another worker at the Langley warehouse tested positive for the active, contagious form of the disease in February, and as a result, everyone in close contact with him was tested. “I found out I have TB because [EV Logistics] told me I had to be tested. Now they’re trying to say I didn’t get it at work?” an upset Mirus said last week. “It’s insane.” Mirus said his supervisor told employees in February about the testing. Fraser Health spokesman Roy Thorpe said about 400 employees at EV Logistics were tested. “Normally, only close contacts are tested, but in this case it was difficult
07069656
to determine who was in close contact with [the sick employee], with shift work and different schedules,” Thorpe said. After skin tests and blood tests, Fraser Health found 40 cases of latent TB, including Mirus. “We have no ability to determine for sure where an infection may have come from,” said Thorpe. “For [people with] a latent TB infection, we know that at some point in their lives they have been in contact with someone with TB.” In about 10 per cent of latent TB cases, the disease becomes active. As a result, treatment is recommended to kill the infection. Mirus recently began his nine-month dose of TB medication. Mirus’s doctor wrote a letter advising the company he would be off work for about two weeks until he gets the sideeffects under control. Mirus filed a WorkSafeBC claim to cover lost wages and to pay for gas to get to and from his many doctors’ appointments. Staff at WorkSafeBC cannot comment on individual claims without permission, but in a written decision, caseworker Susan Peroni said it is unlikely Mirus contracted the TB infection at work. “Tuberculosis is a condition found in the general public,” she wrote.
According to information provided to WorkSafeBC by EV Logistics, Mirus and the sick employee worked 13 days in common, but not in the same area of the warehouse, and their breaks were scheduled at different times. EV Logistics spokeswoman Lynn Anderson said the case is a matter for WorkSafeBC. A clinical opinion obtained by WorkSafeBC, asking a doctor whether Mirus had a greater risk of contracting TB than the general public, stated
the case for work-related exposure was “not at all persuasive.” But an opinion by a Centre for Disease Control doctor, obtained by Mirus’s mother and included in a WorkSafeBC memo, found the opposite: “Given his young age and ruling out a prior history of exposure, his results are likely due to the workplace exposure.” Mirus plans to appeal.

Shell Busey Tips Laminate Flooring Hints
Installation Hints • Laminates are “floating” floors, which means they don’t have to be nailed or glued to the subsurface. This makes them noisier than other coverings, so use QuietWalk underlay from Windsor Plywood, to absorb the sound. • Let the planks sit in their closed box for at least 48 hours before you install them, so they’ll adapt to the room’s climate. • Inspect each plank for damage and differences in colour and thickness before installation. These problems are tough to fix after installation.
Keep your floors looking new • Clean only with a laminate floors cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto the mop or cloth, not directly on to the floor! • Never clean laminates with abrasive cleansers, scouring pads, wax, polish or mop and shine products. • To prevent scratching, pickup floor-protector pads from Windsor Plywood. Place the pads under the legs of tables, chairs and other furniture. Shell Busey - host of the Home Discovery Radio Show

Cops do live up to their ideals With all the negative news about police over the past few years, it’s doubly good news to hear that a B.C. police officer has won a recent legal victory. The officer, a member of the Transit Authority Policy, was injured stopping a drunk driver in 2008 in Chilliwack. The unarmed, off-duty constable spotted the weaving truck as it clipped a parked car. He called for on-duty officers, but no one was close by, as they were at another emergency. The officer tried to stop the driver himself. In return, he was repeatedly punched. The driver shoved the officer out of the truck, and then dragged the officer and ran over his arm. Battered, the officer still managed to get up and arrest the driver, whose blood alcohol level was .250, more than three times the legal limit. The legal battle came when the officer tried to get WorkSafeBC to compensate him for his injuries. The agency said the officer was off duty, and therefore it was not a workplace injury. The legal wrangle has recently ended in the officer’s favour. A WCB Appeals Tribunal has agreed that officers, who have sworn an oath to keep the peace, can place themselves on duty to prevent a crime. The ideals of service – of putting the security and safety of others above their own – is the source of the public’s respect for police officers. Police who consider themselves on duty at all times, whenever they are needed, are the kind of officers we need. And a ruling like this one goes a small way to acknowledging their work. – M.C.

Aldergrove water
Interest needed for council
Dear Editor, I want to ask people to please take a greater interest in municipal politics. Over the past year, as I have attended open houses and pubic hearings on various matters, it is apparent that a lot of citizens do not realize that these meetings are open to the public. People have commitments that take precedence over worrying about how local decisions are made… until it has a profoundly negative impact on their daily lives.
Last Monday night, for example, after many years of discussion over which route would be best for the water line to Aldergrove, 52nd Avenue was voted on as the route of choice, despite public feedback on the options that were presented months ago. 52nd Avenue cuts through the recharge area where rainwater replenishes the aquifer. Can we expect recharge problems and further dropping of the water table? Council was told and
Fort Langley
Citizens’ concerns lost
Dear Editor, Let’s see if I have this straight in my head. Township council has deferred its decision on ParkLane’s rezoning application until September [Decision on condos delayed, July 9, Langley Advance]. Discussions will continue between ParkLane, which wants to build two more four-storey apartment blocks, and Township staff, who are quite happy with ParkLane’s plan. Any changes that staff and ParkLane agree to will then be voted upon by Township council, which has previously voted in favour of everything proposed by ParkLane. The citizens of the Township who asked for an overall waterfront planning scheme for Fort Langley before further development occurs will neither get their wish nor be heard in this process. This is just business as usual for council, developers, and staff in the Township of Langley. Silly me, why would I expect ideas, concerns, and input from the citizens to be treated as a meaningful or valid component of planning? So I guess I will see the mayor and council in the fall, to continue our rather one-sided discussion. Jeremy Smith, Fort Langley [Note: The editor comments at his blog, Editor’s Notes, at http://tiny.cc/ehh4e ]

did not listen. Councillors Bob Long and Mel Kositsky asked to defer the decision until September – six weeks – but the deferral was defeated. I was shocked and disappointed that Mayor Rick Green did not support the deferral motion. Coun. Jordan Bateman’s lack of interest for further public consultation was supported Tuesday night by Coun. Steve Ferguson and Grant Ward. Coun. Kim Richter did not vote, as she called it a conflict because she lives in the area. People need to see what goes on in council meetings, to see who week after week never speaks and only follows the majority. They need to see who comes off as arrogant, who repeatedly berates the public. They need to see who is sitting there bored out of their mind, obviously just there to collect a paycheck. We need improved water for Aldergrove. The pipes will not go through until 2012, so six weeks wouldn’t have mattered. Sonya Paterson, Langley [Note: A fuller version of this letter and others on similar topics are online at www.langleyadvance.com.

Munchies requested for talk Blueberries plenty already
Dear Editor, Although I was unable to attend the July 9 community meeting concerning the medical use of Marijuana [Pot heads public talk, July 9, Langley Advance], I have heard (from inside circles) that there was a disappointing lack of potato chips, dip, and cheezies. I would suggest that, if Mr. Caine wants to further his cause, he would be well advised to provide such essentials… just a thought. Clayton Randle, Langley
Emergency services
Slower change less expensive
Dear Editor, Paid firefighters have been no bargain. A large part of Langley Municipality has no water and no fire hydrants. In those locations, a fire means a burned-out foundation with high-paid firefighters mopping up. There haven’t been buildings lost because of inadequacy in the paid on call firefighting system. The democratic process was concentrated pressure strategically applied by union sources looking for highpaid jobs for its members. Fair enough. Just realize that the major effect has been to maximize cost and stress an already overextended tax base. A more reasonable road would have been to concentrate on water main infrastructure and introduce the current system more gradually, to decrease tax pressure. We’ve fixed a system that wasn’t broken, at great cost. On this and other issues, Langley Township would do well to heed a comment from Councillor Mel Kositsky, that expensive infrastructure can be staged and spread over time to more reasonably manage annual tax rate increases, which should be zero.

Dear Editor, East and west of us there are limited restrictions, but we in Aldergrove cannot water our lawns, run a fountain, or even have a pool for the kids. However, I don’t see any restrictions for blueberry farmers – who use up most of our aquifer water. There are more than enough blueberry farms around here. There has been more than normal rain this past spring, and yet we are told we cannot water our lawns like the rest of the Township or Abbotsford. We pay our taxes and yet we get little or no services, and now we’re told to stop using water. What next? D.

‘Lord Stanley’s Mug’ in Fort The Stanley Cup arrived in Fort Langley Wednesday morning, courtesy of former Chicago Blackhawks forward Colin Fraser, whose parents live in the Bedford Landing neighbourhood. “Lord Stanley’s Mug” was put on display, giving fans including Matt Green the unique opportunity of getting an up close and personal look at the trophy. Fraser (pictured above at the lower right side of the cup) played goaltender in a pick-up street hockey game before posing for a group shot following the match. Fraser and the National Hockey League-champion Blackhawks captured ice hockey’s most coveted prize last month. A Surrey resident, Fraser was dealt to the Edmonton Oilers during last month’s NHL entry draft. Jessica Lythgoe-Green photos

Hot in the Shade? One of your cars options that you rely on the most without ever thinking about it is the Air Conditioner. We don’t think about it until it stops working that is. Twenty years ago A/C was not a common option and we lived just fine without it. Now that most cars come with A/C as standard equipment we are now all used to having it. Maybe its “Global Warming” or maybe we have been spoiled but it sure seems hotter these last few years. Getting your cars A/C system into proper working order, before the real heat of summer hits us or a vacation road trip, is a smart idea.

She spent some time talking about the difference between direct evidence, and circumstantial evidence. “This is particularly important in this case, because the Crown relies on circumstantial evidence,” Arnold-Bailey said. Crown prosecutor Christopher McPherson told the jury during his final arguments earlier this week that there can be
no other conclusion than that Butorac killed both women. Their DNA was found in the trunk of his car, and on his only pair of shoes. Video surveillance footage showed a white car like Butorac’s driving into the industrial site where Koroll’s body was found. A tire mark on her wrist matched the tire on the accused’s car. Defence lawyer Richard Fowler maintained that there was not enough evi-
dence to connect Butorac to the slayings. Fowler said there is no evidence to link Butorac or his car to where Lawton’s body was dumped or the Langley cul-de-sac where some of her clothes were discovered. Butorac has also never been associated with Lawton, he added. The 12-member jury is expected to begin deliberating this week, a process that could take less than a day or weeks before they render a verdict.
Tip: A functioning A/C system will defrost your windows quicker as it dries the air before blowing it at the windshield.

Freybe recalls headcheese Eating headcheese sickened at least 10 B.C. residents thanks to a salmonella outbreak. Jason Kunz, visiting from Washington State, took his shirt off to show his many tattoos.
A woman’s back was the canvas for tattoo artist Jamie Macpherson (top left) during the West Coast Tattoo Culture Show, which ran July 9-11. More than 150 tattoo artists from around the globe – including Macpherson, who hails from 40 Days 40 Nights Tattoo Parlour in Vancouver – participated in the show. Clint Danroth (below) of Craftsman Tattoo worked on a client’s arm.
Sonya Crepeau and Jaquie Gauthier from Renaissance Studio in Abbotsford posed for the camera.
Clint Eastwood’s “Man with No Name” character, made famous by the Spaghetti Western films of the 1960s, was the inspiration for this leg tattoo being recreated by an artist from Langley’s I-Kandy Tattoo.

Flesh as canvass
Body art is big business in B.C. and beyond. Testament to that was the huge turnout of artists and admirers at the West Coast Tattoo Culture Show, which ran last weekend (July 9-11) at the Langley Events Centre.
Artist Alex Rousey had some of his spray-can artwork on display at the show.

In the wake of 10 cases of salmonella in B.C., Langley’s Freybe Gourmet Foods is recalling headcheese sold last month. The BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) linked the salmonella outbreak to headcheese sold at supermarket deli counters. “The majority of infected people were elderly, and approximately half required hospitalization,” said Dr. Eleni Galanis, a BCCDC epidemiologist. “There may be other people who also experienced symptoms, but did not see their doctors, leaving potentially more unreported cases.” Headcheese is made from the head of a pig, with gelatin and spices added. Stores selling the headcheese include Overwaitea outlets such as Save-On-Foods, PriceSmart, Urban Fare, and Cooper’s Foods, and Thrifty Foods stores, as well as smaller independent delis. All the contaminated headcheese seems to have been sold in mid- to late-June. Anyone who bought the headcheese can return it to the store for a refund, or contact Freybe Gourmet Foods at 1-800-879-3739 for more information. The product is distributed by the Aldergrove-based Freybe, but is made by Brandt Meat Packers in Mississauga, Ont. • Learn about the symptoms online at: www.langleyadvance.com, click on “News”

Need an excuse to eat a burger? And I’m not talking one of those questionable content ones from a fast-food joint. You know the one I’m describing: it’s dripping in grease and tastes like it’s been reheated dozens of times. I’m talking biting down on a delicious Mikeburger. By the way, for those who haven’t checked out the new Mr. Mikes restaurant on 62nd Avenue and 200th Street, you should consider a visit. I have to rank it as one of the better chain (mid-range) restaurants in town for service and food. Anyway, I digress – no surprise. Sometimes I think I’m too easily distracted, kind of like my little Jack Russell terrorist Annie, who can be all loving and consumed in playing with you, then at the hint of a squirrel, instantly forgets your very existence. We actually make a joke with some family and friends who are easily distracted, and just yell “Squirrel” to remind them of their flighty nature. I think this would be a perfect time to yell “Squirrel!” at me. So, back to the point. The only reason I bring up Mr. Mikes – which I have to tell you was my favourite place to eat when I worked with the Langley Advance 30 years ago (the former Mr. Mike’s restaurant was located in the Highland Village, where Kalmas is now) and they served the best steak sandwiches this side of the Port Mann bridge – is that they’re doing a fundraiser I felt was important to tell you about. The company is turning 50. It obviously has not been in Langley for the past five decades, but rather in B.C. In fact, the company only moved back to Langley last year, opening in the former Kelsey’s space after what seemed like endless renovations. Squirrel! As part of the anniversary celebration, this West Coast restaurant chain is launching Mikeburger

Madness starting Sunday, July 18, and carrying on through to Aug. 29. The goal, said company president and CEO Yuri Fulmer, is to raise $50,000 for local charities. A dollar from every Mikeburger sold during that time will be donated to a charity of choice, and in Langley’s case, it’s going to be given to one of my favourite charities: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley. Did I ever mention to you that I was a big sister for about six years – many moons ago – and it was an incredibly rewarding experience. In fact, yesterday, I heard from one of my former little sisters – now a mother herself and one heck of a great lady – she’s turning... today. Oops, a lady never reveals her age, or that of her friends, so I’ll have to keep that secret – it’s only right. Squirrel! If you’re really anxious to take up the burger challenge, help raise some coin for the cause, and enjoy a bargain, on Sunday only the Mikeburger combo (complete with fries) can be had for $5.99. The parent company will reward the location that sells the most, by matching its donations up to $5,000. Let’s hope, for the kids’ sake, the Langley location wins.
Chamber happenings
When it comes to the Langley Chamber of Commerce, there isn’t much happening during the summer months. In fact, it’s pretty quiet – probably because everyone is taking holidays, soaking up the sun, and gearing up for – then recovering from – the BC Summer Games.

Beauty Queen?
Mother, wife challenges pageant stereotypes Jane Gagne was selected to represent Canada in the Mrs. World pageant in Korea in October. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com
W
ho’s ever heard of a pageant winner who is married and has a child? Sounds more like a scandal in the making. But not the case in an international pageant that recently caught the attention of Jane Gagne. This 29-year-old Clayton Heights model, commercial actor, and business owner threw her hat in the proverbial ring and will be representing Canada at the Mrs. World 2010 pageant in Korea in October. In this competition, Gagne’s marital status, and the fact that she has a two-year-old son are seen as positive attributes. In fact, she clarified, this competition is only open to married women. Only young wives, mothers, even grandmothers need apply. “I sort of felt I was retired after I said ‘I do’,” said Gagne, who has been competing and won various pageants at the local and national level during the past eight years. “I am the former Miss Vancouver and have numerous other titles, but this is the largest and most prestigious pageant I will be competing in,” she told the Langley Advance. A little embarrassed, Gagne said she’d never heard much about the Mrs. World competition before. Almost by fluke, just after her wedding in March, she was surfing the Internet when she stumbled across the Mrs. World website (www.mrsworld.com). She signed up immediately. There is no qualifying pageant in Canada for the Mrs. World competition, so Gagne was selected based on her online applica-
tion, which listed her charity work and past pageant wins, as well as several pictures. “It’s the whole package that they’re looking for. It’s not necessarily the 5 ft. 10 in. beauty queen they’re looking for,” she said. “They’re looking for well-rounded individuals with families.” Gagne will spend three weeks in Korea, attending charity events, touring the country, and taking part in the internationally televised pageant. Admittedly, three weeks is a “very long time” to be away from her baby boy Christian, not to mention her new husband Michael. But thanks to the commitments from family to help take care of her two-year-old, she is set to go. “I can go there with the peace of mind that he’s good and that he’s cheering me on,” she said, noting that Dad agreed to keep Christian up late to watch Mom when she’s on TV. Gagne said she’s anxious to give this competition her all, describing this as possibly one last hurrah for her pageant diaries. Typical of others, this pageant consists of evening wear, swimwear, costumes (representing their country), and interview. What does that mean? Well, one of her recent tasks has been to go shopping. For many women, this would not be a hardship. Especially clothes shopping. But for Gagne it is nothing short of a chore. She needs a dress and a national costume, Bill@limelightphotography.ca plus numerous wardrobe changes before her departure in the fall, explained Gagne, who showed up in semi-formal attire for the interview adorned in jewelry or makeup for the first time in almost a year

and a half. “I’m a mom, so I don’t have a ton of suits and dresses. I’m very casual,” the Prairie-born and raised girl said with a snicker. “I wear sweats and jeans most of the time.” Since her new husband won’t let her take their bank account to the mall, she’s devoted some time recently to successfully hunting out sponsors for her evening gown and some of the other required garments. “Some girls expect to spend $10,000 on a dress.

Dr. Peter Wong’s family dental practice has changed dramatically since he first hung out his shingle in the rural little community of Langley more than two decades ago. A relative rookie to the industry, with only four years of working for other practices between Quesnel and Coquitlam, the young Vancouver-born and raised dentist recognized the growth potential of what he described as a blossoming little city in the Valley. Just as he forecast 22 years ago, Langley has continued to grow and evolve, and that’s been echoed in his practice – Ivory Dental Centre – which has also blossomed, now serving more than 5,000 clients on a regular basis. The practice, which is operated by Wong and two other doctors (Dr. Ash Soufi and Christine Choi Lee), is still built on the strong principle of good dental hygiene and oral care. “We understand how important having a beautiful smile is,” Wong said. “So from common
problems to gum disease, we provide an array of dental services to meet your needs all in one convenient location.” The team of 20 professionals working with state-of-the art equipment with revolutionary technology, operate out of a 1,900-square-foot facility at #112-20151 Fraser Hwy. While the business started primarily as a family practice, Wong said he now cares for people of all ages and lifestyles, looking after not only basic care (maintenance, restoration, and orthodontics) but also more and more implants, laser dentistry, as well as cosmetic work including Botox, Invisalign, and whitening. Open six days a week, the doors open every day at 8 a.m. and closes MondaysWednesdays at 7 p.m., Thursdays at 8 p.m., and Fridays and Saturdays at 4 p.m. “When I was a kid going to see the dentist, I was curious about all the tools. I guess that’s why I originally gravitated to dentistry,” Wong said, growing up with four siblings who all sought out different professional occupations from his. Today, Wong is still as passionate about dentistry as when he graduated from the University of Manitoba. And, despite the evolution of the community and his industry, this Surrey resident insists he still loves being a dentist, his reward found in restoring those incredible smiles on his clients’ faces.

Foxgloves
Hybrids add welcome variety
T
TOTALLY CRAZY
Seed of D. purpurea is easy to get. Though the naturalized form is pink or white, an apricot-flowered by Anne Marrison foxglove has been Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to amarrison@shaw.ca developed and comes true from seed. But the most popular is probably a D. purpurea hybrid called Foxy. If you plant it in late winter, it should flower in about five months from seed, and throw up several flowering spikes in yellow, cream, white, lavender, rose-pink, and red with marbled markings on the blooms. Among the foxglove species, one standout is D. ambigua (also called D. grandiflora). Flowers are a beautiful, soft yellow, and it adapts well to small space, because it stands only about 60 centimetres. It selfseeds, but not excessively. Some plants may become perennial. A yellow foxglove, it has been crossed with D. purpurea to produce D. x mertonensis, notable for its evergreen leaves (which neither parent has) and large, crushed-strawberry-coloured bells. It’s also only 60cm tall. D. ambigua has an tiny cultivar, Temple Bells, which fits well into containers, producing 2.5cm bells on 22cm stalks, and if seed is sown very early, it will flower later the same year. Not as spectacular, but equally easy to handle is the Rusty Foxglove (D. ferruginea) which grows 1.6-2m tall, but has smaller yellow flowers with brown veins. The leaves are beautiful: narrow, dark green and shiny. Like its yellow cousin, the Rusty Foxglove is not a rampant self-seeder, which means seed capsules can be allowed to remain without fear of dire consequences. Any saved seed remains viable for many years and germinates easily when planted.
hrough the summer, spires of pink or white foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea) rise along roadsides and in clearings – they can be thick colonizers of recently-bare soil, but tend to thin out as other plants re-establish and compete. A biennial with tiny, fragile seedlings, foxgloves seldom infiltrate where healthy vegetation is already present. Originally from Europe, foxgloves are pretty, long-flowering, and loved by hummingbirds and bees, but some people detest them due to their huge seed production, and also because they’re very poisonous. Other gardeners love their spectacular bells, long-flowering habits, and sturdy stems, but wear gloves when handling them (gardeners with sensitive skin have reported soreness after touching foxgloves) and remove all unwanted seed capsules. Most of the 20 foxglove species originally came from countries around the Mediterranean. Generally, they’re hardy to Zone 4, tolerant of most soils, grow to about a metre high, and are adaptable to sun or shade. They bloom from the base of the flower spike upward. Meanwhile, the stem grows longer, new buds form and become flowers, and seed capsules stretch far up the stalk. Their longevity is variable. A warm winter may see a few biennial foxgloves becoming perennial (at least for a while). Meanwhile, perennial species of foxgloves are often (but not always) short-lived. Foxgloves have a long history as a magical plant of many names, including Dragons Mouth, Witches Gloves, and Fairy Caps. Like other “magical” plants, foxgloves were used as medicine by old-time healers. The drug digoxin, derived from digitalis, is still used as a cardiac stimulant.

LUYSA squads battle against province’s elite
The Langley United gold Rams earned a bronze medal in the U18 Division at the provincial championships in Aldergrove.
Bronze was the colour of the day for one of Langley United Youth Soccer Association’s entries in the Provincial B Cup Finals in Aldergrove last weekend. Boys soccer teams in the U13 to U18 age groups gathered at Aldergrove Secondary School and Aldergrove Athletic Park for four days of competition from July 8 to 11. While LUYSA didn’t bring home any championship banners, its three teams fared very well. The Langley United U18 Rams captured the bronze medal Sunday with a come-frombehind, 3-2 victory over the Port Coquitlam Demons, while the U15 gold and U13 silver teams each finished fourth in the province. LUYSA U18 Rams 3, PoCo Demons 2 (bronze medal game) Langley maintained most of the early possession and was
rewarded 15 minutes into the game when Robert Bond was put through and slid the ball past the advancing ’keeper off the post and into the net. PoCo ended the half stronger and got the equalizer in injury time of the first half. PoCo added its second goal about 12 minutes into the second half. Close to 30 minutes into the half, Langley’s Thomas Jeffery received the ball out wide on the right and, from about 35 yards out, hit it over the ’keeper into the roof of the net, a superb strike to tie the game at 2-2. “We scored some great and important goals this weekend but none more than Thomas Jeffery’s 30-plus yard ‘wonder strike’ to bring us even,” LUYSA coach Geoff Norris said. “It was a thing of beauty.” The momentum was now shifted back to Langley. With nine minutes left in the match, the ball fell to Cameron McDonald inside the 18-yard box and he coolly slotted it into the net to give the Rams a 3-2 lead. The game ended with Langley being reduced to 10 men, three minutes before time, the result of a second yellow card.
In the last minute of injury time, PoCo was awarded a free kick at the edge of the Langley area. The ball was shot over the wall and was goal-bound until ’keeper Jesse Richardson flew across the net at full stretch and tipped it over the bar. “Winning can sometimes be due to exceptional goalkeeping and Jesse Richardson’s fullstretch save in the last minute was simply spectacular,” Norris said. The bronze medal success comes from total belief and desire, he added. “I couldn’t be prouder of these players and they all deserve a mention,” Norris said. “This was a wonderful end to a successful season and for the majority of the players, the end of their youth soccer careers. I can’t think of a better game to go out on.” The Rams are players Robert Bond, Daniel Erickson, Agostino Fidanza, Robert Hartley, Keegan Hoyt, Thomas Jeffery, Connor Jones, Tyler Kragt, Russell Lavery, Nathan McCready, Cameron McDonald, Cody Murchison, Russell Norris, Darrell Plantz, Jesse Richardson, coach Geoff Norris, assistant

Razorbacks edge Victoria in provincial bronze-medal match The lone host team didn’t taste defeat, and came away with a bronze medal. Aldergrove Youth Soccer Club hosted the B.C. Boys “B” Cup Soccer Championships this past weekend at Aldergrove Athletic Park and Aldergrove Community Secondary School (ACSS). A total of 47 teams represented zones including Coastal (Hope to Vancouver), Vancouver Island-Powell River, ThompsonOkanagan, Columbia-Kootenay, Cariboo North, and North Coast, in six age groups (U13 to U18). In each age group there are about 700 eligible teams competing across the province, so get-
ting to the provincials is a significant accomplishment in itself. Aldergrove’s lone team did the local community proud by going undefeated through the four days of play, finishing with a heartstopping victory over Coastal Cup champions Lakehill Team Sales from Victoria in the bronze medal match. The Aldergrove U17 Razorbacks entered the tourney via the host berth so therefore, they were seeded eighth out of the eight teams in their division. The Razorbacks opened with a 2-2 tie with Bulkley Valley, the North Coast representatives. Jon Thompson scored in the opening half for the Razorbacks, who trailed 2-1 at halftime. The hosts took inspiration from
Colton Bardal’s play, as he was coming back from a knee injury that had kept him sidelined for several months and left him questionable to be able to play in the tournament. Matt Anctil scored 10 minutes into the half to tie it at 2-2 and from that point on, the Razorbacks dominated. Bulkley Valley saw the opposing half of the field only twice after this and relied on the good graces of the soccer gods to keep the ball out of its net. Game 2 last Friday saw the Razorbacks battle the rival Port Moody Reds to a 1-1 draw. Aldergrove’s lone goal came off a nice 25-yard strike from Connor Hunter that went off the tips of the diving Port Moody
’keeper and inside the right post for a 1-0 Razorbacks’ lead. The Reds tied the game with about eight minutes to go in the match. Then, with two minutes remaining, Anctil got away on a breakaway and the Reds ’keeper took him down to save a goal, and was immediately ejected from the game for a professional foul. Unfortunately for the Razorbacks, the foul occurred outside the penalty area and the ensuing direct shot was blocked by the defensive wall. In their third game, the Razorbacks drew 2-2 with the league champion and Coastal Cup finalist Surrey United Lions. The Lions had already quali-
fied for the gold medal match by virtue of wins in their first two games. A red card and penalty shot from Nick Bakker gave Aldergrove a lead that held up into the half. The Lions rallied to tie the game with a spectacular goal. Soon after this goal, the Razorbacks battled back to take the lead again, courtesy of a nice cross from Nick Bakker to Tanner Sigalet, who squeezed between two defenders to slide the ball into the back of the net. While the Lions did not need to worry about the result, they battled valiantly and were awarded a penalty kick with less than two minutes remaining. continued on page A29…

Goalkeeper shines Squads shoot for Western Challenge Cup Ball hockey
…continued from page A28 Razorbacks’ ’keeper Anthony McRae stepped up to the line to meet his opponent and made an incredible diving save off of the penalty shot, only to have the ball go straight up in the air. He could not get up fast enough to move it out of harm’s way before the Surrey shooter finished his job to tie the match. The first half of Sunday’s bronze-medal match, played in front of roughly 200 Razorbacks fans, saw the local team beaten to the ball all over the park during the early stages. McRae was in form, and kept the score level at the half. After Victoria opened the scoring at the 15 minute mark of the second half, the Razorbacks fought back on a goal from Jordan Hatchwell. Once again the final score ended up as a draw. This time, however, a winner had to be declared and to overtime they went. During the extra session, Sigalet took the ball at the edge of the penalty area and danced through three defenders before crossing the ball to the back post, where Hunter managed to lunge with his body to redirect it into the back of the net. Two minutes later, midfielder Greg Braun took a
strike from about 30 metres out, catching the Victoria ’keeper off his line. The ball dropped just inside the far post and crossbar. Up 3-1 and with 15 minutes left to play, the Razorbacks looked to be able to close this one out. The Victoria side didn’t quit and stepped up its play, pushing players forward. Victoria finished a nice passing sequence down their right side to make the score 3-2 and six minutes left. Pressing with everything they had, the visitors were awarded a penalty kick with less than three minutes left and an opportunity to take the match to penalty shots. McRae stepped to his line, staring down his opponent. The shooter shot to McRae’s left. McRae dove and made a sensational save, with the ball bouncing out in front of him. The attacker rushed in to finish the potential scoring play off. McRae made a second surge and dove out onto the ball with the attackers foot firmly underneath it. The Razorbacks managed to close out the last couple minutes of play and as the final whistle sounded McRae’s teammates mugged him in celebration. The bronze-medal victory goes along with the team’s silver medal in 2008 and fifth place finish in 2006.
Ball hockey, one of Canada’s unofficial national summer pastimes, will be the centre of attention in Langley this weekend. Starting yesterday (Thursday) and running until Sunday, the Western Challenge Cup ball hockey tournament takes place at the George Preston Recreation Centre, Langley Sportsplex, and Langley Events Centre (LEC). This tournament – consisting of teams made up of selected players from each division – involves entries from Alberta and the Lower Mainland. This year the tournament includes 36 teams from Calgary, Edmonton, Medicine Hat, Richmond, Surrey, Delta, Metro, Ridge Meadows, Tri-Cities and Valley. Teams are made up of 10 & under, 12 & under, 14 & under, 17 & under and 19 & under players.
Select players are chosen from their home associations to form teams to compete at this level. This tournament is hosted by B.C.’s West Coast Minor Ball Hockey Association along with the Valley Ball Hockey Association (VBHA). Gold medal games on Sunday will take place at the LEC and can be watched online at: www. wccballhockey.com. Some of the players in the Western Challenge Cup are doing double duty as B.C. teams are preparing for a trip to Ontario at the end of July for the junior national championships. Three age groups compete and players from all of the Lower Mainland associations are selected to form the U15, U16 and U19 B.C. teams. The next step is the world championships, where players from all
of the provinces are selected. Players from Valley, Surrey, Delta, Richmond and Metro were recently chosen to play for the U16 Canadian squad, and travelled to Most, Czech Republic where they won the gold-medal title. ••• The VBHA is for players aged five to 19 years. Valley registered about 1,100 players for this past season, which ran from April to June. The association finals were held mid-June, with the winning teams from those finals moving on to provincials to represent their association. This year, Boston Bruins’ winger Milan Lucic visited the VBHA wind-up at the GPRC, to support his young nephew. Lucic took time to pose with fans for pictures and sign autographs. • More online at: www.langleyadvance.com, click on “Sports”

North Langley hosting provincial tournament North Langley Diamond Sports (NLDS) is hosting the 9/10 majors provincial baseball championships, starting this weekend and running until July 25. All games will be played at the George Zarrelli Diamond in Walnut Grove Community Park. The B.C. championships follows a district tourna-
ment in Langley City. North Langley is one of two District 3 teams represented at the tournament. As host, the NLDS team is not allowed to participate at the district level and therefore gets a seat in the tournament. Other teams will come from Trail, Vancouver Island, and Vancouver.
At the 9/10 level there is no national tournament so the provincials represents the pinnacle of success. Opening ceremonies kick off at 10 a.m. on Saturday, followed by the first game featuring District 1 and District 3 at noon. The host NLDS team faces District 6 in its opener at 6 p.m. that day.
The Fort Langley Lions will be serving up a pancake from 8 a.m. onward Saturday. It has been close to a decade since NLDS has hosted a provincial tournament. To view the full schedule, visit NLDS’s baseball page at: www.nlbaseball. ca/page212.htm.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: A truly romantic month begins July 22. Two years of slow slogging in work end, but your relationships begin a two-year phase of sobriety and “slow movement.” Now to late 2012, if you take an antagonistic approach the best you’ll win is freedom; you’ll lose in most else. Until October 2012, these do not work: chasing love for ego reasons, seeking recognition, fame, trying to optimistically sell to new clients. These do work: loyalty (e.g., old clients, present spouses) romance with other generations, career partnerships, cooperation. Tuesday night: understanding brings joy!

Cancer June 21-July 22: Chase romance, pleasure, beauty and creative or sports success Sunday to Tuesday – you’ll ride a winning streak! Jobs begun Tuesday night will succeed. Thursday begins a productive four-week phase of earnings, spending, memory and other possessions. But this week also begins 26 months of increased responsibility in domestic arenas, with kids, property, security, nutrition and all foundational concerns. You’ll have to work harder at these, and you might decide to let go of some situations (or relationships) that are just too much work. This week’s “career partnership” idea won’t work. Wait.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: No fireworks, but this week is a turning point. Now to October 2012, you will be more sober, practical, no-nonsense. You will be determined to put your life on a sound foundation, especially in real estate, family and similar areas. Yes, retirement’s coming! You’ll do this slowly and carefully. A major or basic change might be involved: e.g., relocation. Relationships need to be looked at. If you’ve been a party type, that ends for two years. Thursday starts a month of travel, talk, friends, errands. Be curious! DON’T start a relationship or negotiations this week; one might end.
Taurus April 20-May 20: Remain flexible, curious, restless and talkative until mid-week. You could obtain a last-minute agreement Sunday-Tuesday. Secrets, investments, intimacy, lifestyle choices are important and fortunate Tuesday eve/night. But be cautious with these Wednesday/Thursday. Thursday begins a month of home-related, security, family, property and similar themes (gardening, landscaping, nutrition, kid’s welfare, etc.) This week also begins 26 months of slowness in work, employment, machinery and health zones. Kids will be more work. Rewards come from hard work. Avoid lawsuits. You’ll be fine!
Leo July 23-Aug. 22:You travel a lucky money streak (to Aug. 6) so take advantage, buy luxury items, ask for a pay raise, negotiate a deal, etc. DON’T overspend. Money can flow through you like water, and you could end up poorer, despite taking more in! (If you’re into self-knowledge, look at the underlying reasons: Guilt? Lack of optimism?) Your weeks of weariness end Thursday, when a month of energy, charisma, effectiveness and clout begin! However, this isn’t a good week to start major projects. A romantic notion ends. The two years ahead slow communications, yet make this a fertile employment field.
Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Mellow yields to functional. Thursday ends weeks of fairly relaxed pondering, love, cultural pursuits, understanding and begins a month of ambition, prestige and career effort. Dress well, be prepared to meet bosses, higher-ups. But don’t start any work projects yet – wait until next week. This week ends two years of restricted socializing. Now to October 2012 you’ll meet fairly easy progress in many areas. However, dealings with government agencies, institutions and head office might be burdensome – more red tape, more communication levels with which to deal: effort needed.
Gemini May 21-June 20: Thursday begins a fourweek period of heightened communications, travel, restlessness and casual friendships. You’ll generally love this time. Be curious, ask questions, go exploring, open newspapers. Now to October 2012, your loves and pleasures meet sobriety. Romance, hobbies, sports, risk-taking, creative projects and the pursuit of pleasure – all become harder, slower. But this area can succeed if you’re prepared to be responsible and loyal. Romance could flower with an older or younger person. You’ll succeed in research, investments, sex and health. This week’s future plan is wrong.
Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Every party must end, every high note yield to a quieter one. Have your fun (and travel, contact people) Sunday to Tuesday. Be domestic, rest up mid-week. (Real estate, kids’ savings plans are lucky Tuesday night.) Thursday begins a month of quietude, rest and retreat. However, a bunch of social influences will keep you interactive: your graciousness will continue; but your smouldering sexuality will yield to talkativeness. Still, get your rest. Contemplate, plan, do charitable things, deal with government agencies. DO NOT invest, change your life, or “start sex” this week.
Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Lie low, work in the background Sunday to Tuesday. Think about your future, and how to get there. Your energy returns Tuesday eve to Thursday – but this is not a good week to start any project – or romance. Work on what’s already started, on research, finances, health, intimacy and safety. Thursday begins a month of mellow love and understanding, intellectual prowess, higher education, far travel, cultural involvements. Two years of hard career burdens end now; but two years of sober social activity begin, involving other generations or money (e.g., take the boss golfing).
July 18 - 24 Capricorn Dec.22-Jan.19: Relationships move from centre-stage to “under-stage” – they begin to operate secretly, subconsciously, or intimately. In business, you move from negotiation to actual funding. You bond more deeply, or break apart.This, for the month ahead. The present week brings another turning point: two years of philosophical outlook, of learning or studying situations, ends. A two-year career, ambition, prestige and status phase, the most important in 30 years, begins. Live up to it! Start nothing this week except a security or realty deal. Happiness, Sunday-Tuesday! Power, energy late week. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: At last, a month of weariness and drudgery ends – so do two years of financial restrictions! The weeks ahead bring fresh horizons, competition, opportunities, fights and loves, negotiation and litigation. The rancour and intensity of last winter and spring has fled, so if you’re in a fight, it’s possible to work out a deal; if you don’t, August/September could bring a lawsuit, a long, dreary, unprofitable one. If you aren’t fighting, the weeks ahead bring exciting meetings, intimate affections, sweet whispers. Careful with your speech this week: stray words return to bite. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The past two years have brought restrictions, even disappointment in relationships. If you’ve succeeded, found love or fine partners, healed bonds, it has only come through hard work. Now, this phase ends. The two years ahead (to October 2012) transfer this need for “hard work” to your sexual and financial spheres. You can truly achieve your dreams in these areas – if you work hard to that end. Nothing comes of nothing. The month ahead features work, heath and machines. Be wise Sunday-Tuesday, ambitious mid-week, social Friday/ Saturday. Don’t spend big, nor start a money project. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

The vehicles ranged back as far as 1928 and as new as 2010 but they all share a common ancestry to be eligible for the 19th annual Mopar Madness 2010 car show. Mopar, short for motor parts, is the parts arm of Chrysler. Entrants in the show had to be in the Chrysler family of products. The vehicles, vintage and modern, filled the parking lot of the George Preston Recreation Centre this past Sunday. The Mopar Unlimited of Vancouver is the club that hosts the show which keeps growing, this year attracting about 240 registered vehicles. “We’re up about 20 per cent,” said club vice president Allan Cassidy. He figures that is due to the nicer weather partly, but

Rick Hurd came out from Mission with his vehicle and spent time in the driver’s seat of his brother’s Chrysler 300, owned by Al Hurd (right). also because of a trend with the shows that sees attendance growing year by year. It’s why the volunteer-run show had to move to the recreation centre. Mopar Madness has been
DIESEL 4X4
in Langley for the past six or seven years, previously using the parking lot at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. But the organizers wanted more room and moved south. Despite there being other
2008 FORD F450
car shows that weekend, many people say they prefer to come to Mopar Madness. Al Hurd brought his 1963 Chrysler 300 convertible out from New Westminster, getting it out of the barn just for
DIESEL 4X4
this show. The black paint, original interior and chrome catch the eye of any auto buff but he said what grabs people most often is the square steering wheel. The vehicle is in original condition, including its unusual ‘typewriter’ or push button transmission. Part of Hurd’s attraction to the vehicle was its model year. “It’s 47 years old. I’m 47 years old,” Hurd said. The parking lot includes vehicles in original condition or restored to original appearance as well as many tricked out and decorated autos of various vintages. Many of the spectators also arrived in their distinctive vehicles, meaning the side streets around the recreation centre were filled with other fascinating examples of automotive history. There’s another show this weekend that might be worth a look. The Fraser Valley British Motor Club is hosting its eighth annual show at Minter Gardens in Chilliwack on Sunday, July 18, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. • More at www.langleyadvance. com, click on “Driving”

Aldergrove
Left turn ban sign difficult to see
Dear Editor, I am little short of outraged at citations issued at the Aldergrove border crossing. I have been crossing the border at the Aldergrove crossing one to three times a week for more than 20 years. Some months, maybe a year ago, I’d heard that it was going to be made “No Left Turn” from Zero Avenue, but since then I have seen countless cars making a left turn onto 264th Street. When I came to a stop at that corner on April 1, I took extra time to look for any sign indicating no left turn. There were none on the stop sign, none across the road, none to my left, no sign visible anywhere. So, I concluded that my information had been wrong and that left turns were permissible. As I made the turn, an RCMP officer walked out and gave me a citation. He pointed to a sign 30-50 feet before the corner. Since then, every “No Left Turn” sign I’ve found in Langley
(other than at Zero Avenue and 264th Street) is visible from the stopped position. To put a sign 30-50 feet before the stop, where one needs to be concentrating on the rapidly approaching stop, is placing it so it will be missed. If the driver takes his or her eye off the road to read the sign, he or she will run into the back any car waiting at the stop sign. That day, while I was within sight of the corner, at the most 10 minutes, I saw seven cars make the same left turn. On April 30, two cars made the same left turn in front of the vehicle just before me. For so many drivers to make the same turn, either the sign is being missed, or Langley drivers have no regard for traffic signs. The officer told me they were enforcing the no left (or right) turn to prevent fights by irate drivers. I have been crossing the border at Aldergrove for more than 20 years, I’ve seen hundreds of
cars cut in, and never once have I seen anyone even get out of their car. I have seen some who would not let someone cut in front of them, but the majority are courteous about it. It would have been more costeffective to put a bylaw officer on the corner, than to tie up RCMP officers for eight hours. If there is a hothead who gets out of his car to confront the driver who cut in, there are laws already on the books to deal with that situation. I have no axe to grind in this situation. We have a house on both sides of the border, so on holiday weekends we just go to our Washington house after 9 p.m., when there are no line-ups on even the busiest weekend. Paul M. Bowman, Aldergrove [Note: A fuller version of this letter is online at www.langleyadvance.com.]
