Young athletes from across the province were welcomed to Langley Thursday. by Matthew Claxton

To the skirl of pipes, the beating of First Nations drums, and the shouts and cheers of hundreds of athletes, the BC Summer Games were opened Thursday evening in Langley. Thousands of young athletes and coaches representing eight zones from around the province poured into McLeod Athletic Park just after 7 p.m. They were greeted by everyone from B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell, to local MLAs and mayors, to elders of the Kwantlen First Nation. Those marching in were excited and a little sleep deprived. Elora Hipwell, 12, carried in the banner for the Kootenays with her teammates on her district’s girls softball team. They won the right to carry the banner and led their team by

Zone 2’s Thompson-Okanagan sailing team flew its colours during the parade of athletes. winning a game of Simon Says, she explained. In the grandstands, parents, grandparents and siblings eagerly snapped pictures. Erin and Matt Craig from Naramatta, in the ThompsonOkanagan Zone (2), were there to cheer for their daughter Hayden. The BC Summer Games are important to the whole fam-

ily, Matt said. He and Erin both played volleyball in the Games as teens, and they later met at a national-level game. “It was our social network for years and years,” he said. Their oldest daughter Jamie competed in the last edition of the Games. Alyssah Carter of Delta had her grandparents Joan and Dave, and mom Deborah, in the stands cheering for her under an orange

banner supporting Fraser RiverDelta girls rugby. Things have been “a little bit crazy” in the runup to the Games, Deborah said. “They were so excited this morning they couldn’t stand still,” she said of the team. Kevin Kelly of the Kwantlen First Nation welcomed the athletes to his people’s traditional territory, and reminded them that the word Kwantlen means “tireless runner.” “We do this for our children,” he said, wishing that all the athletes have good luck and make new friends during their time in Langley. Kelly and a group of elders sang a river song, in honour of the return of paddling and rowing events to the Games for the first time in more than a decade. As one elder added, it was also “to make sure the river doesn’t get hungry.” Campbell, Township Mayor Rick Green, and Games president Michael Jackstien also welcomed the athletes, before the athletes took their oath and the torch was officially lit.

A stream of buses converged on Langley Thursday, carrying thousands of athletes, coaches and officials from across the province to this weekend’s BC Summer Games. A total of 33 out-oftown buses, along with 11 buses provided by the BC Summer Games Society, dropped off participants at the Langley Events Centre throughout the morning.

Young man charged in raid A significant amount of drugs was found when police searched a Walnut Grove home last week. by Matthew Claxton

Police have released the name of the man arrested after heavily-armed police stormed a Walnut Grove home last Friday. Brendan Paterson, 25, has now been charged with two counts of drug possession for the purpose of trafficking and three counts of breach of a court order. Police arrested Paterson just outside his home without incident just before serving the search warrant, said Integrated Gang Task Force (IGTF) Const. Shinder Kirk. The raid on the home in the 9000 block of 217th Street [Gang task force turns up drugs, cash during raid, Langley Advance, July 20], involved help from the

Emergency Response Team and the Air One police helicopter, due to concerns that weapons might be inside, Kirk said. Inside the house, police found two pounds of cocaine, six to seven pounds of marijuana, $3,000 in cash, ammunition, and 10 high-capacity magazines, apparently for use with an assault rifle. A gun was not located. Paterson already faces weapons-related charges from a previous investigation. The accused is not known to be a member of any of the high-profile gangs in the Lower Mainland, but he has been seen several times in the company of known gang associates, Kirk said. Neighbours told the Langley Advance that they have been aware of the attention Paterson has been receiving from the police for some time, and they would like him out of the neighbourhood. Paterson was set to make his first court appearance on the new charges July 21.

Growing along with Langley Today is the 79th anniversary of the Langley Advance. The first edition of Langley’s longest-standing community newspaper hit the streets on July 23, 1931. A lot has changed over those 79 years. The world is a different place. There are a few billion more souls living today than there were then. Humanity survived its second world war, and economics today are discussed in global terms. Langley has grown from a few thousand residents in a rural, agricultural community known for its production of chickens, eggs, and especially, chicks that were exported by the tens of thousands to become other communities’ egg and meat producers. Now the local population tops 120,000 in the two Langleys, each with its own local government and its own economic and social aspirations. Langley is home to one of the Lower Mainland’s largest regional shopping centres, and boasts a diversified economy of a strength that many people here could be forgiven for not noticing the global downturn that has ravaged so many other communities. And the Langley Advance has changed. Anyone glancing across from their July 23, 1931, Advance would not recognize their community newspaper today. Technological and social changes have made it bigger, stronger, more relevant, and more accessible to the entire community. Indeed, many of our readers today would be looking up from a computer or laptop – or even a telephone. Who would have thought such a thing in 1931? The world, Langley, and the Advance have all changed dramatically in 79 years. But as we enter our 80th year together, one thing hasn’t changed: the Langley Advance is committed today, just as it was in 1931, to working and growing – and communicating – with our community partners in Langley. – B.G.

Snobbery closes opportunity to gain access to what appeared to be a fine-looking, small lake, uninhabited by a single soul. I was endlessly driving around, wasting expensive gas. It seems there is no public access to this little jewel of Langley. I found this surprising, and even insulting: all those big houses, stacked up one by one, and no “little people” allowed. Though it is not a “gated community,” we, the public, have no way to enjoy it. This brings me to the point of my letter: Aldergrove, look out. The rich people are coming. I suspect your little gem of a man-made lake at Aldergrove Lake Park will soon become one of those discriminatory “possessions” of the local elite. In this day and age of teaching children the good

Trees need protection

Dear Editor, Recently, a property in our neighbourhood was sold to a developer who is planning on subdividing it into two smaller lots. The lot was heavily treed with mature cedars and pines, as are the majority in the area. As part of the demolition, all of the trees were removed, regardless of their size, health, or placement. Why does a municipality as progressive as Langley not have any type of tree protection bylaws to prevent this type of clear-cutting from happening? I am not against development, but I do think that there has to be some sort of plan in place to protect the visual integrity and livability of our neighbourhoods. Langley is the only place in the Lower Mainland that does not protect its trees. It seems extremely short sighted to allow this type of careless, unregulated development to happen in our community. Once these trees are gone, they will not come back within our lifetimes. Nicole Mast, Langley

Emergency services

Waits not just busy-ness

Dear Editor, Every time another case of a patient waiting a long time for an ambulance hits the media [Ambulance woes magnified, July 16, Langley Advance], BC Ambulance Service shrugs it off as “just a busy day.” The BCAS keeps saying this because there simply aren’t enough ambulances on the roads. Transfers have been reduced due to private contracts, but BCAS leaves out the fact that, even when paramedics were doing all the transfers, there still weren’t enough ambulances, which means ambulances meant to respond to calls were pulled in to do them. Now that the transfer fleet has practically been taken apart, the still high number of transfers is put on the shoulders of emergency ambulances. Both transfers and emergency calls have been steadily increasing every year, yet BCAS ignores the problem, trying to reduce expenses by further squeezing paramedics to do more work, and making patients wait longer so they don’t have to put more cars on the road and hire more paramedics to fill them. A joint study by the paramedics’ union and BCAS called for an immediate addition of ambulances. BCAS put half of that number on the road, and have since taken 14 cars off the road, so they are worse off now than in 2008. Welcome to BCAS math. As easy as it is to get frustrated at the paramedics, it is not their fault. They have no say or power to change the system – which they tried to do when they were on strike. It’s the managers in their cushy offices, earning their large salaries, who are simply looking at the bottomline. Jason Angulo, Coldstream

things, we do exactly the opposite. We close off areas so the rich can have a view; we don’t share, we put up signs saying “keep out.” I hope this doesn’t happen in Aldergrove. Our town has enough “monster homes” and very little affordable housing. Urban sprawl is coming, or is even here. Resist the snobbery and the decay it causes. D. Vincent, Murrayville

Environment

Problem bigger than lead Dear Editor, Getting lead shot under control is a good idea [Gun club ordered to clean up, June 22, Langley Advance], but the provincial Ministry of Environment is hypocritical about the Brookswood aquifer. It stood with its hands in its pockets and let the City of Surrey drain the groundwater (including threatening endangered species like the blue-listed painted turtles in Latimer Lake) to build the huge Campbell Heights industrial park. It continues to allow building all over the Brookswood aquifer – construction of roads and hard surface that will introduce massively higher levels of pollutants into the aquifer than a little lead shot. I’m not suggesting they ignore the lead shot, but they have no right to swagger around, suggesting they are protecting groundwater. They are singling out sportsmen who will have a tiny fraction of the impact on the aquifer that development throughout Southwest Langley and Southeast Surrey will have. The Fraser Valley Conservation Coalition has been campaigning for six years to try to get our local and provincial governments to recognize the environmental significance of the Brookswood aquifer and the threats that development pose to our water supply. Where was the Ministry of Environment when the City of Surrey trashed several Class A fish-bearing watercourses connected to the Brookswood Aquifer? Absolutely, we should get lead shot under control, but why are we giving the province high profile pats on the back for lead shot when it is party to far greater damage to the aquifer?

Dear Editor, Recently, I was off work for a glorious day of Langley sunshine. I wanted to do something fun with my dog. I “Google Mapped” my area for a new stream or pond to visit. Kleat is a Lab cross and likes to get wet. I noticed that, not so far from our humble abode at the boundaries of 32nd Ave., 28th Ave., 208th St. and 204th St., there was what appeared to be a lake suitable for us to go have a swim. As it turned out, the heat was making me think of going for a dip, as well. So we grabbed a pop and a leash and hopped in the Jeep, and off we went. Ten minutes later, I arrived at my destination to find the north part of the lake inaccessible. I tried by various roads

Highrises approved for Aldergrove Aldergrove will be reshaped by a core plan council approved Monday night. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Highrises and increased density in downtown Aldergrove were given the go-ahead from Township council Monday night. The Aldergrove Core Plan is designed to increase the population of the downtown area from about 500 people to about 5,000, over 30 years. It will drastically increase density and includes a number of mixeduse areas, with lowrises of between four and six storeys, with shops and restaurants on the ground floor on major streets around Fraser Highway and 272nd Street. Much of the debate at council centred around the controversial inclusion of up to four 20-storey highrises along the northern boundary of the core area. “I’m not sure if it [Aldergrove] is ever going to be ready for highrises,” said Councillor Bob Long. Also worried about highrises were Councillors Kim Richter and Jordan Bateman. Bateman moved a change to the plan that would cap the height of all buildings at six storeys in the core, saying even highrises won’t attract rapid transit to the community. The majority of council, however,

was fine with the highrises. “Coun. Bateman, you’re off base on this one,” said Coun. Charlie Fox. The core needs to have a variety of options for developers, Fox said, so it can become “the heartbeat of Aldergrove” again. “Right now it’s probably the deadbeat of Aldergrove,” Fox said. If there is no demand for 20-storey buildings, they won’t be built, said Coun. Bev Dornan. “I think we should leave it open and see where it goes,” she said. Only Long, Richter and Bateman were in favour of scrapping highrises from the plan. All the councillors were more positive about the other suggestions of the plan, which also designates the Aldergrove Elementary site for future civic and recreational uses. After dozens of people spoke at a public hearing earlier this summer, Richter wanted to defer a final reading and get more input from the public. However, the other councillors disagreed, citing the lengthy public process that led to the plan’s creation. Richter was the only councillor to vote against the overall plan, say-

ing it was unfair to the people who raised concerns at the recent public hearings to pass the plan without addressing their issues. The council had voted to send the plan back to staff several weeks ago, for some possible changes, but staff returned the plan with no major alterations. Some of the issues raised were the height and shadow of buildings, the density, and the effect of rezoning on existing residents. Others near “Right the proposed now, it’s highrises worprobably the ried about privacy in their deadbeat of backyards if Aldergrove.” a multi-storey building is Coun. Charlie Fox overlooking them. Many residents also worried about more general problems in Aldergrove, such as crime and graffiti. The plan is not designed to directly address those concerns. A fourth and final reading for the bylaw to create the plan will be held in September, when council resumes. It is now on its summer hiatus. The new sewer line to Aldergrove, and the water line that was just approved last week, will make the plan possible. Aldergrove’s growth has been frozen for several years due to a lack of sewer and water capacity.

Tourism

What’s in

Sports tourism is expected to generate big bucks for Langley.

Businesses excited by Games prospects

Bargain hunters share your views

rhooper@langleyadvance.com

Local hospitality businesses are bracing for a money-making weekend. The Township of Langley is hosting the 2010 BC Summer Games (it started Thursday and wraps up Sunday), and the event is expected to infuse upwards of $3 million into the local economy. Most of that money, said BC Games chair Kelly Mann, comes in the form of mothers and fathers staying in local hotels, eating at local restaurants, and shopping at local stores. Visitor centre counsellors with Tourism Langley have been fielding inquiries for several weeks, as families learned their children would be competing and began making travel plans, said Tourism Langley executive director Deborah Kulchiski. The most frequently asked questions revolved around location of the specific venues, and proximity to the closest hotels or campsites, she explained. “At a time when other communities in the Lower Mainland are experiencing a typical post-Olympic slowdown, Langley should benefit this year from the opportunities that come with sport hosting,” Kulchiski said, noting that sport tourism is the fastest growing segment of the industry in Canada and world-wide. “Many of our accommodation providers are still beaming from record-breaking revenues during the 2010 Olympic Games in February, and the BC Summer Games should result in high occupancies this month,” she said. Even though his restaurant is located a little off the beaten track, Adrian’s At the Airport owner Demetre “Jim” Exarhopoulos is preparing for an onslaught of hungry visitors this weekend. He’s bringing in extra staff, and probably even a few extra tables and chairs (he can currently house 100 people inside, and about 60 more on his patio overlooking the airport tarmac) for the brief influx. Exarhopoulos and his wife have been running the 216th Street restaurant seven days a week for the past 10 years, and were excited to hear about the Games and all it might offer their business and the community. “I hope I am busy,” Exarhopoulos said, “I might even put on some extra specials.” Fort Camping is always booked up solid at this time of the year, but the facilities in Brae Island Regional Park have a few

Good news for bargain hunters, it appears Aldergrove Community Thrift Store has opened its doors, as promised, in the core on Fraser Highway. I was hoping to get a look about, since I have to be out in that neck of the woods Sunday to cover the Aldergrove Fair Days. But much to my chagrin, they’re not open Sundays. So, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the place, and the bargains it offers. Simply sign onto my blog “Eye On Langley” at www.langleyadvance.com, and offer your reviews. In the meantime, stay tuned. I will try to bring you a little more about this organization soon. I am being assured that what items are donated for sale, and what money is made from subsequent purchases, is staying in the community. A little bird even tells me the organization is on the hunt for volunteers (604-625-1485).

Careli coming soon

I also wanted to give you a heads up that another restaurant threatening (the paper’s on the windows, and a “coming soon” banner is stuck on the facade) to open in the little strip mall next to Venetis. Careli seems to be setting up shop in or near a space that has had occupied by several different eateries over the years, including a European deli that used to serve up awesome perogies. Let me know, when this place opens, what you think of their food. Again, simply sign onto my blog, and offer your comments. And speaking about downtown eateries, I’ve recently heard from Sun Kein Yan, who has been in the hospitality business for 28 years. The former owner of Varsity Grill in Vancouver and the Rosedale Restaurant in Yarrow recently took over the former Best Thai (drawn to the space and parking), at 5744 Glover Rd. After two weeks of renovation, he’s opened the 95-seat facility as Kings Food Restaurant. He’s hoping to share his love of cooking Chinese. Again, offer your thoughts on my blog directly at http://tiny.cc/UnWe8.

Man nearly killed in forklift mishap mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A man working with a forklift was crushed and airlifted to hospital Tuesday evening. The Langley City fire department, police, and BC Ambulance paramedics were called to a workshop in the 20300 block of Logan Avenue at about 7:20 p.m. The victim had been injured while working with a forklift loaded with a

pallet. The first responders to the scene helped stabilize the badly injured man. An air ambulance helicopter landed in a parking lot near the corner of Locke Road and 203A Street, to take the victim to a trauma centre. Exactly how the man was crushed isn’t yet clear. Langley City’s acting fire chief Jim McIntee said the incident is under investigation, but he couldn’t add much more about the circumstances of the accident.

But organizers of the Township of Langley 2010 BC Summer Games are counting on close to 2,500 visiting athletes still having some zing in their step each evening. With that in mind, sports enthusiast and former Games contender Carla Robin was approached last fall and asked to coordinate two nights of entertainment, specifically for the young athletes. “It’s not just the sporting event that’s important for the kids, it’s the social aspect of the Games,” Robin said. It’s the friendships they establish, she said, noting she’s still in touch with a few people she met during her youngers years of competition in both volleyball, and as a sprinter in track and field. “I understand the value of what sports can do for kids. It’s a great social tool for them,” she told the Langley Advance. And keeping that paramount in her thoughts, Robin set out to create fun and memorable events that will be fun for the youth (most between ages 12 and 18). Since the opening ceremonies were being held on Thursday evening at McLeod Athletic Park, and Sunday the kids head home, that left Robin with the task of filling their itineraries for Friday and Saturday nights. So Friday night will be a DJ dance party with Jordan Zwicker and his team from Beyond Sound keeping the Langley Events Centre (LEC) arena rocking from 7 to 10 p.m. Again, on Saturday night, the LEC will be the place to be for the athletes.

BC Summer Games

Entertainment for all ages

Willoughby Community Park (next to LEC)

C Summer Games are intended to be more than just a celebration of athletic abilities and effort, but like the recent 2010 Olympics, there’s a cultural component that’s key to the mix. In the case of the Games, which kicked off last night with the opening ceremonies at McLeod Athletic Park (MAP), there were some uniquely Langley entertainment incorporated into the festivities. Such will also be the case today (Friday) and Saturday, at MAP and Willoughby Community Park (next to the Langley Events Centre). Unlike one Games committee that is focused on organizing opening and closing ceremonies, another has been charged with entertaining the athletes Friday and Saturday night, and yet another asked to entertain volunteers at an appreciation concert at MAP the Monday after the Games, Nadean Vonk’s job is different. The arts and heritage educator with the Langley Centennial Museum – part of the Township’s parks and recreation department – has been challenged (along with museum manager John Robertson) to devise an entertainment schedule more directed at the visiting public and the Langley residents who might want to join in the fun.

his happens when aphids infest the trees and excrete a sticky substance which falls to the ground. There’s probably an aphid-filled tree close to your house and parking spot. Your neighbour doesn’t have the same trouble because the offending tree is outside your house, not hers. Locally, I’ve come across this as a problem mainly on birches and lirodendrons (Tulip Trees) – but any tree badly infested with aphids creates a similar situation. If the tree is not enormously tall, you could try blasting the aphids with water from a hose. Once they’ve fallen out of the tree they don’t usually climb back again. Ladybugs, lacewings, and parasitic wasps all feed on aphids, but sometimes an infestation is too massive for natural predators to make a difference. There are organic sprays against aphids in garden centres, but spraying even a small tree would be hugely expensive and you might have to do it more than once. I’m sure a jet of water is the best solution if you tackle this yourself.

Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amarrison@shaw.ca

Dear Anne,

“We replanted our own raspberry bed last year and enjoyed great berries last year. This year, the berries are extremely small. I suspect lack of water is the cause. “When is the critical time to ensure enough water for maximum size berries? “Any other ideas for a miserable crop?”

Nancy McAskill, via email

t’s very likely lack of water is the cause – and if you have water restrictions, you’ll need to make decisions about which plants can wait a few days for water and which can’t. The critical time for watering any food crop is when it starts to form.

With raspberries, this is immediately when little green berries start appearing. Then, water either every day, or as often as you can until the crop is harvested. After that, the raspberry plants can be allowed to get somewhat dry, though not to the point that they wilt. Manure or compost helps to produce fat berries, but for moisture retention, I’ve found mulching with grass clippings to be a huge help. Five to eight centimetres (two to three inches) each year works for me. Water doesn’t evaporate as quickly when the soil is covered. Some gardeners dry clippings first, before spreading them, and pull back the mulch slightly from the stems, with an aim to prevent fungal disease or rotting. This is helpful for some plants. But I’ve not found it necessary for raspberries. Besides holding in moisture, fresh grass clippings deter weeds. But if you have weedy grass, you’ll have a few extra weeds popping up next spring.

he many faces of Barb Oliver and company will be brought to life on the Summit Theatre stage next weekend, as the celebrity impersonator presents Divas Las Vegas. “Divas Las Vegas is fast paced and funny as the two hosts, Vinnie and Edna, take a hilarious and entertaining romp through some of Las Vegas’ most memorable characters,” explained show promoter Rob Warwick. “Experience once again the lives and foibles of some legendary divas through song, dance, acting and burlesque theatre. Divas Las Vegas will keep the audience hopping with hilarious versions of classic couples like Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, and Sonny and Cher, as well as non-stop tableaus of Petula Clark, Lady Gaga, Janis Joplin, Shania Twain and even an appearance by The Riffer Man from the Bro Jake show,” Warwick said. The crowd can also keep an eye open for Lily Tomlinson’s character Ernestine, Austin Powers, and Nancy Sinatra. And there is more – everything from Cyndi Lauper and The Donald, to The Country Queens starring Thelma and Louise. The show runs Friday, July 30 at the Cascades Casino, 20393 Fraser Hwy. Tickets are $24.50, and available from the casino guest services, or Ticketweb.ca. Doors open at 7 p.m., with the show at 8.

to name but a few. Hogeterp said that far from being antithical to each other, reading and sports are allies. “Literacy is a part of everything we do, including sports,” she said. People can learn about sports they already participate in, to improve their game, read up on new activities they might want to try, or get inspired by the biography of an athlete or coach. “Reading about something they’re really interested in can get them started [in a sport],” she said. And sports helps upstairs. Kids who get exercise during the school day do better academically.

he impacts of the 2010 BC Summer Games are far reaching, as residents know. There will be the experiences and special memories for the athletes and coaches as well as the volunteers and spectators. There will be the legacy of improved local facilities, many of which received facelifts to accommodate the province’s best athletes. And there will be a spotlight on sports, with all its benefits of learning about fair play, goal setting, physical fitness, and more. But people may not realize that the Games will also improve literacy. Langley Literacy Now, the regional literacy initiative has teamed up with the Diving Fraser Valley Regional Games Library to create a bookmark that was handed Dream, Challenge, Achieve out to all public school students and is available at libraries.

Thunder taking aim at final WLA playoff position An 11-7 home-floor win over Victoria breathed life into Langley’s playoff hopes.

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

With the team’s leading scorer Garrett Billings in England for the world field lacrosse championships, it is up to Alex Turner (above) and others to lead the Langley Thunder’s offence as they make a final push for a playoff spot.

visiting Victoria Shamrocks at the Langley Events Centre (LEC) gave the Thunder a glimmer of playoff hope heading into their contest last night. “We’re building up for playoffs,” said Alex by Troy Landreville Turner, who led tlandreville@langleyadvance.com “Everybody the Thunder’s offence with a The Langley was clicking hat trick and Thunder have some [against one assist in work to do if they the win over hope to qualify for Victoria].

This past Saturday’s impressive of Maple Ridge and Coquitlam in the battle for the fourth and final 11-7 home-floor victory over the

playoff spot. The big period for the Thunder on Saturday was the middle one. They scored six goals to Victoria’s two, and carried a 9-4 lead into the third frame. Victoria had the edge in thirdperiod markers (3-2) but never got any closer than three goals to the Thunder. Turner, second in team scoring with 52 points in 15 games heading into Thursday’s game, wasn’t the only member of the Thunder who had a big night offensively. Stephan Leblanc scored once and added five helpers while Kyle Belton recorded a pair of goals to go with three assists. The Thunder outshot the Shamrocks 39-37. Joe Bell went the distance in goal for Langley, stopping 30 of 37 balls thrown his way. The Thunder will make their weekend playoff push minus their leading scorer Garrett

Billings, currently playing for Team Canada at the world field lacrosse championships in Manchester, England. “It’s tough not having him here, because he’s an offensive leader,” Turner said of Billings, who piled up 59 points in 12 games before flying overseas for the world tournament. Turner said if the Thunder play to their potential in their final three games of the regular season, anything can happen. “If we can play like we can and all guns are firing, I think the league’s wide open,” Turner said earlier this week. “We’re hoping to win all three games to get that [playoff] guarantee.” Depending on how they fare this weekend, the Thunder’s home game versus the Maple Ridge Burrards Wednesday at the LEC will be a crucial one. Langley’s regular season finale starts at 7:45 p.m.

Track and field

Fletcher dominates races Overcoming soreness, 12-year-old Jordan Fletcher put on the afterburners at the Track City International Classic at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field. Competing against athletes from across the western United States, Canada, and Australia, the Langley resident won gold in the midget boys 400-metre, 800m, and 1,500m races. “He performed unbelievably,” Jordan’s dad Jeff said. “He was the only kid from British Columbia there, and the first time in the history [of the meet] that those three events were won [by the same athlete]. He works hard, so he deserves whatever he gets, just because he trains so hard.” Between races, Jordan had ice baths lasting 45 minutes, to bring down swelling of joints and muscles, his dad noted. Next up for Jordan is the B.C. junior development championships in Kamloops from July 30 to Aug. 1. It will be his final event of the track season.

ing Fast Draw Club in the sport today, having performed shows and contests since they formed in the winter of 1958. The Thunderbird club has been host to almost half of all the Canadian championship contests ever held in the country. The last eight Canadian championships have been held in Alberta. The World Fast Draw Association, based in the U.S., has been sanctioning these events since the merging of the Mid-Western Fast Draw Association and the Western Fast Draw Association into WFDA, the main governing body for fast draw, which takes place in such countries as Scotland, Germany, and Japan, to name a few. Fast draw is a “nervous” sport, requiring great concentration, good reactions, and a love for the “old west” style of dress and shooting. Fast Draw is billed as “The Fastest Sport in the World” with some times taking much less than half of one second. Saturday’s Celebrity Shootout will involve several local VIPs.

I need to reduce my staff costs; can I reduce their hours and beneﬁts instead of layoffs?

Chris Ellett 604.526.1821

Many employers are looking to change shift patterns, reduce overtime, cut back on pay or benefits, freeze wage levels, or minimize bonuses. The employment contract may permit some changes, however, the employer must still act reasonably, for example giving employees prior notice of such changes. Even if a benefit is non-contractual or discretionary, the employee may still be entitled to it, if it has been provided consistently over time. A prudent measure is to explain the reasons for the change and seek the employees’ agreement. If a unilateral change is made and the employee continues to work, the employee may be deemed to impliedly agree to the change. This is more likely if the change is felt immediately, such as a pay cut, rather than later, such as reduced severance or pension benefits. However, the employee can resign and claim for constructive dismissal if they do not agree to a fundamental change and reasonable notice of the change was not given. It may be safer to dismiss with working notice and then re-hire on revised terms.

Janice Bobic, Burnaby

I remember the first BC Lions football game I went to at the Empire Stadium, in 1958 I believe, when I was 10 years old. I sat with my mom, dad and sister on the grassy hill on the north side on a pleasant sunny evening. As we were sitting there, eagerly anticipating the start of the game, suddenly some jets came screaming overhead directly over the stadium from the north. I began screaming frantically, trying to hide under my dad’s arm, and crying, “They’re going to drop bombs on us!” Dad said, “No, no, no, that’s part of the show.” My fear gradually subsided, and I recovered from this “trauma” as the football game started. Excitement took over as the players ran out while the announcer called their names. I remember Willie Fleming – how he could run – and he was the family favourite. In a subsequent year, we received some original numbered photographs autographed by Willie Fleming and the other Lions players. Also we received another set of photos of autographed pictures, individually numbered, with corporate sponsors printed on the backs. I still have all these photos, and eventually plan to sell them at auction. I was there at Empire Stadium when the Beatles came to Vancouver, and Diana Ross and the Supremes opened the show with their metallic gold skinny dresses flashing in the lights. My sister and I were sitting on the northeast bleachers, but with all the girls screaming throughout the whole show, we never heard a bit of the Beatles’ music. As we were heading out after the show, our mom and auntie were waiting, standing outside the stadium door when the Beatles ran right in front of them making their getaway from the stadium.

PERDUE, Robert Henry July 16, 1941 ~ July 19, 2010

On the morning of July 19, 2010, Bob passed away peacefully with his family by his side. He is survived by his loving wife Diane, children Bobbi-Ann (David) Orser, and Scott Perdue, one granddaughter Taylor Jade Perdue, and father inlaw Donald Copley. He is also survived by a large family of sisters – Ann Perchie (Lloyd – dec.), Shirley Hinds (Dan), Marilyn Giesbrecht (Peter), Doreen Scott (Glen), a brother – Bill Perdue (Linda), brother and sister in-laws – Drew and Janet Copley, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and all the friends he considered family as well. Bob is pre-deceased by his father Robert Perdue, mother Annie Perdue, mother in-law Donalda Copley, brother in-law Lloyd Perchie, and nephew Jay Perchie. Bob was born in New Westminster, BC on July 16th 1941. He and Diane met in Surrey, BC in 1964. They were married in Langley on August 13th, 1966. Besides his wife, Bob’s greatest love was hunting and fishing. His little dog TJ was his constant companion, and they loved to go for long walks together. Bob spent many hours enjoying his hobbies, carpentry and fly tying. Bob also took pride in his beautiful flower garden. Bob was never shy and he always made everyone feel welcome and he could never turn down a good conversation with whomever he met. After working for much of his life, Bob and Diane spent their retirement years traveling in their motor home. This gave them an opportunity to visit their friends and family from near and far. Taylor Perdue, Bob’s only grand-daughter was surely the apple of his eye, and they were inseparable. She was “Pa’s” girl and even when Bob’s health was failing, she could always get a smile out of him. Even though Bob was immensely proud of Bobbi-Ann and Scott, he always had a special place in his heart for Taylor. Bob was fortunate enough to spend his 69th birthday at home with many of his family members. It was a very special time for both Bob and his family. A Memorial Tea will be held on Friday, July 23rd 2010 at 10:30 a.m. from Henderson’s Langley Funeral Home, 20786 Fraser Hwy, Langley, BC, (604)5306488. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Terry Fox Run, Team Bob. http://my.e2rm.com/TeamPage.aspx?teamID=162415& langPref=en-CA

He was a very loving and generous person and had the gift of talking to all people. This was especially true when it came to boating and fishing which he loved.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reﬂections Aries March 21 - April 19: Major shifts are occurring in your life, in career, status, relationships and in yourself. You’re ready to make a big leap for freedom, yet there’s nowhere to land except in the area of duty, restriction and slow effort. Mufﬂed anger might exist in a relationship. Best approach: use that urge toward freedom to seek philosophical learning or more education, or to expand socially and/or internationally. View all relationships and prospects not as escape, but as ambition’s ground. E.g., form a career partnership. Be prepared to change, go slow and exercise diplomacy. August accents negotiations.

Cancer June 21-July 22: A gigantic shift peaks this summer (it began in 2008, lasts ultimately to 2024) in your relationships, career and home. You should see plenty of evidence of these forces of change this week and next. My advice is simple: be ﬂexible, willing, eager to join forces, diplomatic, honest and loving. Then what can go permanently wrong? Nothing. You might have to deal with: A stubborn yet persuasive partner (or an almost too-alluring person!). Mufﬂed anger in the home. A possible break-up. Unpredictable, yet unexpectedly lucky situations in your career, prestige realms or business.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Major changes began about two years ago, intensiﬁed the last few months, and peak this week and next. (With variations through the years ahead.) The present peak brings in new elements, people and situations. Expect stresses/ changes in home, security, property, all relationships, contracts, litigation, partnerships, relocation prospects and in yourself. You are now determined to enter a relationship only if it grants you security. This can cause a “muddying” effect. Amazing, bright, friendly, lucky, unexpected (and perhaps short-lived) relationships will arise – for seven years!

Taurus April 20-May 20: A major change is already underway. (It started last spring, but peaks now and lasts into 2011.) It affects your work, duty and intellectual spheres. These include such things as cultural events, love, international travel, publishing, higher learning, health, machinery/tools, employment/ employees, government, institutional, administrative, spiritual and charity areas. Your life will never be the same! But these are not painful nor “crisis” changes – you’ll do ﬁne! My best advice: turn a challenge into success, but don’t get caught in an unﬁxable situation/project. August holds a major task.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: This summer’s massive changes and stresses don’t hit you as directly as some, Leo. But the slow changes that has been building for two years peak this week and next in your work, health, machinery-related, communications, legal, educational, travelling, cultural, love, philosophical and intellectual spheres. (DON’T drive recklessly!) A letter could reveal a lawsuit, or an email could light your heart with love. Job changes might occur – but the more obvious changes are in intellectual, friendship and travel zones. Old methods will be abandoned; new ones will form (slowly, in some cases).

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Be ambitious. Many stresses and changes exist around you, but they affect others more directly; they could even create openings and opportunities for you to move forward. (Money-wise Sunday/Monday, socially Thursday.) These undergo ﬂux: work, employment, machinery, duties toward children, management, corporate and government“organizationcharts,”institutions,spiritual and charitable interests. All these changes turn on the fulcrum of (or affect) your ability to communicate or travel. (E.g., changes “on high” might change who you communicate with, the style of report.)

Gemini May 21-June 20: It started in late 2008, intensified this spring, and peaks all summer: a series of major shifts in your sexual, financial, investment, health, romantic, creative, sports, speculation, childoriented and social spheres. Never again will these be the same – improvement’s slated! You might begin a deeply intimate relationship with someone quite conservative or of a different generation. You might completely switch your financial structure. A new creativity can be sparked, but it is a slow, deep one, no overnight successes here. Be close to Aries and Libra friends; they might need you.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Big ﬁnancial, lifestyle and/ or sexual changes are imminent. They won’t surprise, as life has “telegraphed” them to you for almost two years (and some have already occurred). View these changes as a varying landscape on a road that is primarily successful, creative, loving and fruitful. Still, challenges exist. A new, restrictive note quietly creeps into your earnings outlook for two years, so be conservative in spending. You might invest in your earnings sphere – e.g., buy equipment. Go slow. Investments are both unpredictable and lucky – sex, too! Surprising revelations come here and there!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Big changes occur this summer in three areas of your life: the romantic, creative, pleasure and child-oriented sphere, the social, entertainment and “future dreams” area, and in your earnings/possessions zone. Generally, your social drives, optimism and love of fun will “rule,” whereas money necessities “out-power” your romantic and creative drives. You’re lucky predawn Monday, and you clearly see money/domestic matters late Thursday. You might need to ﬁgure out some ethical, friendship or love matter Sunday/ Monday. A month of travel, culture, love and learning lies ahead!

July 25 - 31 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: You’re in the power seat, but that doesn’t mean things will be easy. This week and next are the peak of a long change. This change has different levels – some are deep, inner, sexual, psychological, investment-oriented, and can change your whole lifestyle. Other changes occur in career, ambition and prestige dealings. You might break from a former career, association, or direction, and assume a new one. Realize a higher-up might be repressing anger. A potentially very lucky change arrives in your domestic sphere: now, soon, or February to June 2011. Treat aches, pains seriously. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Relationships come front and centre through the weeks ahead.Your sensual side has been very “awake” recently, but now the accent shifts to meaning, love, morals, communication, travel and mental links. You love these things, breezy mental interplay, ideals, meanings. This summer forces you, probably through a relationship, to rediscover and rebuild your morals and ideals, perhaps against a background of secret desires or fears. E.g., an attraction could make you question your loyalty. Or old “fibs” return to play the music you have to face. But this week proves you’re lucky, too! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Lie low, rest Sunday to Tuesday. Your energy surges Wednesday/Thursday. Focus on money, earnings and spending Friday/ Saturday. The weeks ahead emphasize work, health, dependents and machinery. A “prime” change brews in your health, sexual and financial spheres. (Financial: the price of groceries to your paycheque to investments/debt.) The change is deep and seminal – it starts a new future. These areas will definitely impact your plans for your future – and your plans will affect them. Expect luck, struggle, obstacles and opportunity. A relationship grows “talkative.” timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

For those who park longer than three hours and are caught by City bylaw enforcement, the fine is $15 if paid within seven days. The fine jumps to $50 for those who pay after the seven days.

The busiest downtown streets have changed back to two-hour parking limits, less than three years after Langley City council decided people needed up to three hours of parking at a time. Back in August 2007, the council decided some patrons needed more than the two-hour limit, particularly for medical or salon appointments. But now the City has decided that Fraser Highway between 204th and 206th Streets, Douglas Crescent, 56th Avenue from Glover Road to 206th Street, McBurney Lane, and Salt Lane should revert back to the two-hour limit. The signs went up July 22 and 23 and enforcement started July 26. The two-hour rates apply Mondays to Fridays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with no limits outside those hours. Why the change? The City asked residents as part of its 2010 Community Survey about their downtown parking habits and few need that much time. “We asked this question because there is always the pressure to balance the availability of parking stalls in the downtown (ie. increase the turnover rate) and provide adequate time for the shoppers/ diners to enjoy their experience without the fear of being ticketed,” Cheung told the Langley Advance. “The intent of changing the parking limits in the downtown is not to bring in more traffic fines.” In the survey 73 per cent of residents said their trips downtown lasted less than two hours, and 29

Leading up to this weekend’s big event, she was on the water training three times a week. “I’m really excited,” she said, just a couple of weeks before the start of the Games. “I’m starting to feel nervous and I’m really excited.” Training has its challenges, Cheung said, but is worthwhile. “Definitely doing something totally new and having to learn all about it, that’s difficult,” Cheung said, adding with a laugh. “Falling [into the water] in the rain is definitely difficult, to get back up, but once I got the hang of it, it was a lot easier. I learned how to balance my boat and now I feel more confident.” The Langley Township-hosted Games are now underway. Canoe and kayak races are taking place on the Bedford Channel in Fort Langley today (Friday), Saturday, and Sunday morning.
