‘I’ll never call the cops’ Widow of Langley man killed by police testifies at coroner’s inquest about the events that led up to her fateful call to 911
OPCC findings no surprise, says father Staff writer
MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Alvin Wright’s widow, Heather Hannon, broke down crying while listening to the 911 call she made to police on Aug. 7, 2010, in an incident that ended with her boyfriend being shot and killed by a Langley RCMP officer. When asked by her lawyer, Don Sorochan, whether she would call 911 again if she knew it would result in her boyfriend being killed, she cried that she would not. “I’ll never call the cops again for anything,” Hannon said, on the first day of the coroner’s inquest into the shooting death of 22-year-old Alvin Wright. The jury at coroner Vincent Stancato’s inquest, being held this week in Burnaby learned that after a day and night of drinking, the couple got into an argument about how to get home. Hannon wanted to take a cab, she testified. Wright didn’t like leaving his vehicle and wanted to drive home drunk. He ended up walking home and a drunk Hannon drove the vehicle home, with Wright’s brother, Allistair, and her best friend, Celeste Sidor, in the car. Ten minutes after the group arrived at the couple’s townhouse at 203 Street and 53 Avenue, Wright arrived home, angry with his girlfriend. She testified that she wasn’t sure what he was angry about, exactly, but it was probably to do with her driving home without him, even though she’d pulled over and asked him to get into the car. He had refused. The argument escalated, with Alvin telling Hannon to get out. She left the house with Sidor. Alvin’s brother testified that he locked the door behind her because his brother had told her to get out. After being kicked out of the house, Hannon wanted to go back inside to get some of her things. “I wanted my stuff, so I called 911 because I wanted assistance to get my stuff,” she said.

The father of Alvin Wright said last week he was not surprised when the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner (OPCC) ruled that three Langley Mounties did nothing wrong the night his son was killed. Jeffrey James Alvin Wright, 22, died after being shot by police in his home in Langley City on Aug. 7, 2010. The OPCC ruled that the Langley RCMP officers’ actions were reasonable and necessary. Alan Wright has been provided with documentation of the police investigation for the purposes of the coroner’s inquest into the shooting, which started on Monday (March 26), at the Burnaby Coroner’s Court. He is, however, under an order from the coroner not to speak about or release any of the materials, even if the investigation materials may contradict or undermine information provided and relied on in the OPCC review process, said the B.C. Civil Liberties Association. Wright’s family is suing the RCMP for their actions. In 2011, the Vancouver Police cleared Sgt. Don Davidson, the Langley Mountie who fired the fatal shot at Wright, saying the officer’s decision was warranted. Police allege that Wright came at them brandishing a knife. Alan Wright said Thursday that police are not accountable in B.C. when they shoot someone, and he doubts things will improve when the newly-created Independent Investigation Office, headed by Richard Rosenthal, begins operation later this year. Meanwhile, friends of the Wright family have organized a fundraiser for Alvin Wright’s two-year-old daughter. It takes place on Saturday, March 31 at the Troubadour Club, 20299 Industrial Ave. For more information, see facebook.com/JusticeforAlvin.

Eight years for career bank robber MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Monique TAMMINGA/Langley Times
Langley MP Mark Warawa was at Trinity Western University on March 21 to announce more than $860,000 in federal funding for research equipment in the school’s advanced analytical lab.
$860K in grant money for TWU Federal funding will help Langley university to carry out scientific research MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Imagine the creation of a polymer that will disinfect everything on contact, to help with the outbreak of C. difficile in hospitals, or the ability to convert 50,000 pounds of clothing into food sugars, new fibres, fuel for automobiles and school binders. These all could be possibilities, said Trinity Western University’s professor of chemistry and research Dr. Chad Friesen, now that the school has received nearly a million dollars in funding for research equipment for its advanced analytical lab. “Ideas are nothing more than seeds,” said Friesen at the federal government announcement on Wednesday. Research and development in the Fraser Valley received $465,000 in fund-
ing from Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD). The Canada Foundation for Innovation also contributed funding of $398,251. The significant funding provides a much-appreciated opportunity for faculty scientists to pursue cutting edge research, said TWU President Jonathan S. Raymond. “The acquisition of new equipment will raise the university’s capacity to contribute new scientific knowledge to the world. Just as importantly, it means TWU research labs will bring practical innovations and discoveries that have direct applications to real world issues.” “Innovation is an important engine of economic growth and job creation,” said Langley MP Mark Warawa, who was at the university to make the announcement. The university plans to purchase two
new powerful spectrometers and a Fourier Transform InfraRed (an important instrument for chemical research), both of which are currently unavailable in the Fraser Valley region. The equipment will strengthen TWU’s applied research role in chemical manufacturing, particularly in working with small and medium-sized businesses across a number of industrial sectors in the area. TWU hopes the new resources will better train students and researchers for work in the burgeoning field of “green chemistry.” Green chemistry encourages the design of products and processes in ways that minimize the involvement of hazardous substances. At the announcement, the audience also heard that Dr. Eve Stringham’s research chair had been renewed.

Richard Lane Davis, a career bank robber who went on a crime spree in Langley in the summer of 2010, was sentenced to eight years in jail. Davis entered a guilty plea and wrote a two-page apology to the courts that he also wanted sent to each of the banks he robbed. On Aug. 11, 2010 Davis entered the TD Bank in Langley and told the teller to “fill the bag right now.” She complied and he made off with $200 cash. Undaunted, Davis entered a Westminster Savings seven days later brandishing an imitation gun and demanded money. He was caught on camera but fled. On Aug. 20, Davis robbed the Envision Credit Union in Langley, approaching the teller and asking for money, he indicated he had a gun in his pants. Before leaving he told the teller, “I’m going to start shooting something” if money wasn’t handed over to him. On that same day, Davis robbed another TD Bank in Langley, but this time he was identified by a witness as he got into someone’s vehicle. A few days later he was arrested. Davis is a career criminal with a background in crime dating back to 1968 in Toronto. He was on parole when he committed these robberies. Prior to that, he hadn’t been charged with a crime since 2003. The judge appreciated that he had volunteered to write the apology and weighing on his decision is that Davis is suffering from liver cancer. Surrey Provincial Court Judge K. ArthurLeung sentenced Davis last October, but the court document was just released to the public on Friday on the province’s Provincial Court website.

911 call was ‘overreaction’ says widow from PAGE 1
On the 911 tape a crying Hannon can be heard saying, “please come.� She then hung up and called again, saying: “I need you to come because he won’t let me in.� During her testimony, Hannon said her call to 911 had been “an overreaction.� The dispatcher can be heard on the line with Hannon instructing her to go to the street to meet with the officer. While she waited with an officer, other officers went inside. She testified that she heard a bang, but didn’t know it was the sound of a gun being fired. It was Alister who told her that it was a gunshot. Police had no history with Wright and Hannon at the address, it was learned. She said she remembers telling police that
Alvin was upstairs, passed out. After hearing the shot, she was held in a police car and told she couldn’t go back inside. She was held at the Langley detachment for what she described as a lengthy period of time. Police didn’t let her see her dad for some time. They also seized her phone. Alister testified earlier that he never heard police announce themselves to Alvin, nor say things like “put the weapon down� before the shot rang out. He also told the inquest the events of that night happened too long ago for him to remember exactly what had occurred. Police allege that Alvin was hiding in his bedroom closet armed with a machete and knife. After what police say was repeated requests to put the knives down, Alvin came at them. Sgt. Don Davidson
Lawyer calls for top cop to testify in Wright inquest MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
The counsel for widow Heather Hannon wants to subpoena Langley RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke to go over his actions and
decisions and his detachment’s treatment of the family following the shooting death of Alvin Wright on Aug. 7, 2010. Lawyer Don Sorochon said things need to change within
B.C.’s detachments when police are involved in a fatal shooting of a civilian. He questions why the officer who shot Wright, Sgt. Don Davidson, wasn’t interviewed properly

fired one shot to Alvin’s midsection. He died the next day in hospital. Davidson, who has already been cleared by the Vancouver police department and the police commission of any wrongdoing in the shooting, is expected to take the stand on Tuesday morning to give his version of events. The jury learned that the first officer on the scene had less than three months’ experience on the job and had decided not to arrive with sirens and lights. Sidor testified that she was too drunk to recall the events of that night and only remembers being held in the back of a police car. The couple’s daughter — who was nine months old at the time — was not home at the time of the shooting. The inquest continues.

about the shooting until after Cooke reinstated him for active duty. “In the U.S. and in Ontario right now, officers are required to give statements immediately,� said Sorochon. “The public was told it will be an independent review and yet Cooke did the investigation and concluded Davidson was clear to go back to duty,� he said. “We need more than blind backing of officers and appropriate treatment of family.� He also wants to find out why Hannon, as a victim, was arrested and held in custody. The counsel for the RCMP argued that bringing Cooke to the stand is pointless and not relevant to the inquest which is to deal with the death of Wright. “There is no point to discuss this because police investigating police will no longer exist by 2013 or earlier,� said lawyer David Kwan. B.C. is finally expected to follow most other provinces and have an independent
Supt. Derek Cooke civilian commission to investigate policeinvolved deaths. In a break from the inquest, Alvin’s father Alan said the Monty Robinson case should be a good example of what his family is up against with the police not dealing well with crisis. “The way it is doesn’t work for any of us. It seems to work for police but not for the families,� he said. Sorochon said Cooke’s testimony could shed some light on how leaders respond to crisis in their detachment. “I think there is some explaining to do by Cooke,� he said. Presiding coroner Vincent Stancato reserved judgment on whether to have Cooke testify.

Rainbow Lodge residents on edge over ongoing crime spree MONIQUE TAMMINGA
Times Reporter
Residents of Rainbow Lodge packed the Evergreen Hall on March 20 to hear what police plan to do about the increased crime in their complex. “Crime is actually dropping in Langley City, except for here,” said Langley RCMP Staff Sgt. Alex Bodden, who heads the Community Policing division. “However, I don’t think you are reporting a fraction of what’s happening here. I base police resources on statistics, so you need to report crimes for me to allocate resources.” Residents heard that Bodden is dedicating some police time to Rainbow Lodge and the suspicious characters hanging around the complex. “We will develop a response,” he said. Before arriving at the meeting, Bodden looked at how many times police have been called to Rainbow Lodge in 2011. “There are 600 units in this complex and we had 250 calls which is pretty average. But I don’t think you are reporting all the crimes taking place here, so that number should be higher. There were only two break-ins reported here last year. I did notice there was a 67 per cent increase in calls from 2009 to 2010.” One woman said her truck has been broken into seven times. “We can’t afford the $300 deductible each time,” she said.
No one is reporting the auto crimes anymore, the crowd said. Most don’t even go through their insurance anymore, just opting to get the windows fixed for less than the cost of a deductible. One woman became emotional when telling the police that a break-in to her home last February has left her shaken. “The police never took any fingerprints and I’ve never heard from them,” she said. “I feel insecure. It was a big blow.” Another woman who lives on the first floor had her window smashed in the middle of the night. “I sleep the sleep of the dead. I heard shattering glass and thought it was part of my dream,” she said. “It was a scary, scary time. Luckily police came and caught the man, but no charges were laid. Now every sound puts me on alert.” She said the suspect who was caught still lurks around and inside the building, which is scary for her to deal with. City Community Police Office co-ordinator Val Van Den Broek and Langley RCMP’s crime prevention co-ordinator Diane Robinson spoke to residents about how they can be part of the solution, by reporting crimes in progress to 911. If there are drug deals or any other activities, she asked that they write down a description and share it with the police non-emergency line at 604-532-3200. The police will do a perimeter search of the complex and

find out how security can be improved through lighting or trimming bushes and clearing walkways, etc. “When friends are let in through the buzzer they let others in behind them. That happens a lot,” said one man. Jim, a senior who helped organize the meeting after being victimized many times over, said some of the non-seniors living at Rainbow, who have social and mental health issues, are attracting their undesirable friends to hang around the building. Rainbow Lodge does house the recently homeless through B.C. Housing. Those friends coming to visit are committing crimes, including prostitution and drug dealing, he said. “We’re seniors. We shouldn’t have to live out our last days dealing with these people.” In the end, residents were appreciative of the RCMP’s visit and a committee made up residents from each building and management will be put together soon to be the “eyes and ears” of the complex. Langley Lions Seniors Housing manager Jeannette Degenais doesn’t believe crime is on the rise in the complex. She doesn’t believe that there are problems coming from the supportive housing for the disabled. “Whenever it’s cold, we get people trying to get into the building to sleep but when the weather gets better, they go away,” she said.

TransLink’s tax tentacles
Boost age to 18
T
ransLink’s voracious appetite for taxpayers’ dollars puts it firmly in the sights of outraged members of the public these days. This caught the attention of Premier Christy Clark, who, as she called two byelections on Thursday, suggested that an audit of TransLink’s billion dollars in spending might yield enough money to avoid a controversial vehicle tax. That immediately brought out the opposition in the form of TransLink Mayors’ Council vice-chair Peter Fassbender, who said the TransLink “orange” has been squeezed so often that there isn’t any juice left in it. Times letter writer Jeanette Cartwright may have the best perspective. She wonders why Fassbender is a champion of TransLink, given that “Langley’s service is abysmal, anything east of 224 Street doesn’t even exist.” She adds that “I am so sick and tired of opening every utility bill and property tax with a hashtag #Translink attached to them.” That’s the reason there should not be a vehicle tax, or indeed any new tax. TransLink has its tax tentacles all over the place, yet in many parts of the region, notably south of the Fraser, there is abysmal service and little improvement in sight. Why should anyone in Langley, Surrey, Delta or White Rock pay one extra cent in tax towards this behemoth which spends the vast majority of its money transporting people on the Burrard Peninsula, with somewhat lesser service levels in Richmond and on the North Shore? A car tax will take yet more money from people who simply cannot use transit. They already will be paying 17 cents a litre in fuel tax as of April 1. That’s more than enough from drivers of the region, and is already an unequal tax, given that those who live farthest away from downtown Vancouver tend to drive more and thus pay more towards TransLink. Clark may want an audit for political reasons. However, one is needed. Taxpayers can’t be expected to shell out more of their scarce dollars until they are absolutely satisfied that no money is being wasted. There needs to be more vigilance about collecting fares. TransLink Police need to be riding buses and enforcing fare payment. Fare gates need to be installed at SkyTrain stations, and those with the notion that it’s easy to scam a ride on transit need to be disabused of that thought. There is no question that improved transit has great value, but TransLink spending must be carefully scrutinized.

he teenage boy who died in the head-on collision recently in Maple Ridge was violating conditions of his driver’s learning permit. Dawson Spencer, 17, was driving a mini-van with two male passengers. It crossed the centre line and collided with a car carrying three young girls, one of whom also died. Police said the van was weaving in and out of traffic. Speed and inexperience were definitely factors. Spencer shouldn’t have been driving after midnight, based on restrictions under ICBC’s graduated licensing program. Nor should he have had any passengers with him. The female driver of the other vehicle in the crash was a novice, under ICBC regulations, and shouldn’t have had more than one passenger. B.C. introduced the graduated licensing program for a reason — to reduce fatalities among young drivers. And it has worked. Since it was introduced in 1998, fatal crashes involving drivers 15-to 19-years-old have fallen 65 per cent. But it doesn’t go far enough. Teens can’t vote or drink until they’re 19; a 16-year-old can’t even see an R-rated movie alone. Yet, they can drive dad’s car. Vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among teenagers. Our roads are cluttered with roadside memorials. Speeding is often to blame, as is alcohol, inexperience, immaturity. The legal age to drive in B.C. should be raised to at least 18, as it is around much of the world. It may not seem fair to penalize all young drivers because a few make poor decisions. But there is no good reason why teens younger than 18 need to drive. Most live close enough to walk or bike to school, or their parents drive them. They can also take a bus. The risk of giving teens a licence to drive is too great, and the consequences are too often tragic. —Maple Ridge News The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

LICENCE HORSES
Every bill has #TransLink on it Editor: I want to see an audit of TransLink. I want these people to throw open their books. Maybe it’s time we handed over three words from the English language, logic and common sense, to Dianne Watts, mayor of Surrey. She wanted TransLink to be audited and I think she was pushing for light rail transportation, which would be much cheaper. Just toll all the bridges 50 cents and all the ridership another 50 cents. I am so sick and tired of opening every utility bill and property tax with a hashtag #TransLink attached to them. I am also curious as to why Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender seems to be the spoksperson for the mayors concerning TransLink, as Langley’s service is abysmal, anything east of 224 Streeth doesn’t even exist. Don’t get me started on Handydart. A disabled friend of mine has been told on numerous occasions “well, we can get you there but we can’t bring you back to your home.” Seriously, what part of disabled don’t you understand. She has been left stranded for
hours or just forgotten. On the subject of amalgamation, let’s put it to a vote, let all the people have a say. Let’s just get along and make this a great place to live, not two separate bickering, backbiting, head-butting entities. Let’s see local government work together for the common good of the common people. This brings me to ask the obvious question about the new school trustees. Are these the same people that were so incensed by the fact that H.D. Stafford was turned into a middle school that they ousted the previous trustees, and then went on their merry way. Then there’s the matter of our new mayor and some new councillors in the Township. Is this going to be another group that will be pandoring to the rich and wealthy and giving themselves an immediate raise and ceasing any further discussion on the controversial rail overpass, when there already is an existing route along the Fraser all the way to the Delta superport. Big Asian companies are buying more coal from B.C. How many trains do you think will be
Editor: On Feb. 13, during the regular afternoon council meeting, council was to consider approving funding of $50,000 in 2012 for the South Langley Regional Trail and $450,000 in 2013. This was initially for a horse trail from Campbell Valley Park out to Aldergrove Lake. But it has now become “cutesy” with additions such as a walking trail, jogging trail and a biking trail. There was a study done several years ago counting the horse population. I believe less than five per cent of today’s population actually own a horse. If a referendum was taken on your tax notice, come July, this definitely would not be given a go ahead. Campbell Valley Park has plenty of trails. By the way they do not allow bike riding in Campbell Valley Park because it spooks the horses, so what makes this trail any different? I know the majority of this council very well and I know that this will be given the green light, even though we have pot holes on 16 Avenue, crumbling roads all over our municipality and long-overdue crosswalks. Give your head a shake. Is this the best use of taxpayers’ money? So the least we taxpayers could ask for is that horses be licensed like dogs, after all they are both under the same bylaw. The money obtained could then go towards projects like this. This would show a more userpay attitude, rather than a nonuser burden on the taxpayers. Dennis Townsend, Langley
coming through Langley then? Now, for just one more rant. Teachers, please just go back to work and let mediation do its job. Militant whining is so unbecoming. No, I’m not for union busting, I just do not want to pay any more taxes so you can have an unrealistic raise. In this unstable world economy, there is no more money. Just imagine if the working poor, the silent majority of this province, walked off their jobs for a week. I’ve never heard any of them complaining about the $10 to $15 an hour they make and try to raise their families on. They are the real heroes, they’re just too busy working. A pox on all politicians until they give themselves a reality check, and give families of the province a break. I would also like to see the government of the day make all municipalities open their books for an audit. Greed seems to be the word of the day. Whew, I feel so much better after this rant. J. Cartwright, Langley
It’s time TransLink admitted SkyTrain is a loser Editor: Isn’t it about time TransLink admitted it has backed the wrong horse? Back in 1986, when the first section of track was opened on Terminal (how fitting) Avenue for Expo 86, then-BCTransit was told by the experts of the day that the SkyTrain system would never pay for itself. Twenty-six years later, TransLink is still trying to break even. The quandary TransLink find itself in is obvious: if it raises fares to the amount necessary to recoup operating and capital costs through “user-pay,” the ridership will drop off dramatically and it may in fact collect even less revenue. This means the business and financial model used to justify adoption of the SkyTrain system was
faulty out of the gate. Someone did a snow job on the people of Metro Vancouver. TransLink realizes this, and that is why it is trying every trick in the book and then some to suck money out of the Lower Mainland residents to try (and I mean try) to make SkyTrain pay. The truth is it will never pay for itself. TransLink has admitted as much in its statement that just to keep the system operating, never mind the Evergreen Line costs, it needs to raise another $30 million. It’s time to do what other cities in the world have done: abandon SkyTrain and move to surface transportation. The Fraser Valley has a viable rail system for commuter traffic, not only to Vancouver but to other communi-
ties in the Valley and all the way to the coast. Super buses can be a part of the new transportation system. The system needs to electrify as much as possible and move away from gas and diesel engines. Decentralizing transfer points (there would be no need to feed SkyTrain anymore) so it spreads the traffic rather than concentrating it will all lead to increased ridership and decreased pollution. Then TransLink can stop squeezing blood out of the stones that are already crumbling under the strain of added levies and taxes. It’s time for someone at TransLink to have the stones to stand up and admit SkyTrain is a loser. Colin Atkinson, Aldergrove

Cell towers do not belong near wildliferich areas, say three concerned Langley residents. Petrina Arnason, Patricia Tallman and Jane Deglint believe the environmental impacts of a new cell tower proposed for Aldergrove are too severe for it to be built. Cascadia Tower has put forward a plan to build a new cell tower on a private property on 240 Street near 58A Avenue that backs onto a large ravine where the Salmon River runs. Although not recognized by Health Canada, the three residents say there are many studies that show the radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by cell towers harms animals and humans. Tallman, a former instructor of civil and environmental engineering at McMaster University and an environmental/animal rights activist, believes it is the smaller organisms in that ecological area that will be impacted most. “They’ve noticed deformities in frogs, birds mating behaviours are disrupted and their eggs are damaged. It’s affecting their DNA and also weakens their immune system. With bees they have found that if they put cell phones in the bee hives they lose their navigational skills and can’t find their way back,” she said. Tallman points to a recent study directed by Dr.Asad Rahmani for the Ministry of Environment and Forests in India titled “Reports on Possible Impacts of Communication Towers on Wildlife including Birds and Bees.” According to this report, reliable bioindicators such as birds, bees and amphibians have all shown negative effects from the energy given off by cell towers. “Electromagnetic radiation can exert an aversive behavioural response in rats, bats and birds such as sparrows. Therefore, microwave and radiofrequency pollution constitutes a potential cause for the decline of animal populations and deterioration of health of plants living near phone masts,” the report states.
The number of Canadians using cellphones has dramatically increased over the past 15 years, from 100,000 users in 1987 to 24 million in 2010. Cell phone providers are now facing the challenge of building new towers to keep up with the increasing consumer demand for wireless services. When it comes to human impacts, Health Canada says the rate of RF energy emitted from the towers is too low to have negative effects on human health. The radiofrequncy fields emitted from cell phones and cell phone towers is non-ionizing radiation, similar to AM/FM radio and TV broadcast signals.This type of energy cannot break chemical bonds in human bodies, unlike ionizing radiation which is given off by X-ray machines. According to a statement on the Health Canada website: “Health concerns are sometimes expressed by people who live or work near cellphone tower antennas located on towers, poles, water tanks or rooftops.Yet, the consensus of the scientific community is that RF energy from cell phone towers is too low to cause adverse health effects in humans. In fact, RF exposures from cellphone towers are typically well below Health Canada’s exposure standards.” The World Health Organization practices the same policy, also stating that there are no severe impacts from cell towers on human health. But for Tallman, Arnason and Deglint, it is the smaller animals they fear are at the greatest risk. “Health Canada is only concerned with the thermal impacts of the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) on humans.We’re much bigger, so we are not going to see the impacts,” Tallman said. “But what they are finding is that it is nonthermal effects that are causing destruction to the DNA of biological organisms.And of course these non-thermal effects are occurring at lower frequencies. So Health Canada does not recognize that because they only look at thermal effects on humans.All these things are happening at much lower frequencies so

Police chief helps nab robbers Two men arrested for break and enter in Murrayville A tip from an observant neighbour in rural Murrayville helped Langley RCMP’s chief of police and another officer nab two robbers who broke into a rural home on March 14. In the middle of the afternoon, Langley RCMP were called to a home in the 22100 block of 40 Avenue after a suspicious vehicle was seen deep in the driveway. Police were told two men were moving around the van and the home. The caller told police he was aware that the homeowners were not at home at the time, so this was very suspicious.

The union has filed a grievance at the two hospitals over excessive work loads. “The bottom line is, they don’t have enough cleaners,” Old said. “They’re taking cleaners from one health authority to deal with the problem in another health authority.” Welsh said Fraser Health has been assured the transfer of workers from Vancouver Coastal isn’t leaving those hospitals short-staffed. Old disputes that and said he believes cleaning staff levels will return to their old, lower levels once the super cleans are finished, calling it “a temporary Band-Aid fix” to a long-term problem. He called the contro-
versy over CDI infections at Fraser in recent weeks a sign the government’s move to privatize hospital cleaning a decade ago was a failure. He suggested the health authority would be better off if it ran housekeeping services directly. “Fraser Health wears it when something goes wrong, but they don’t control it,” Old said.“They need to fix it.” He said regular audits of hospital cleaners that are designed to reassure the public are flawed. “Burnaby Hospital passed their cleaning audit as the very time they were having a serious C.difficile outbreak,” Old said. Welsh said Fraser is working with its housekeeping partners to refine its protocol of how to
respond to future cases of bacterial infection. Besides enhanced cleaning when warranted, she said the health authority’s main strategy is to focus on improved hand washing, and the appropriate use of antibiotics, which can, if overused, foster bacteria resistance. Fraser Health’s hospitals have averaged a C. difficile infection rate of 12.6 cases per 10,000 patient days so far in 2011-12 — more than double Health Canada’s national benchmark. Langley Memorial, Burnaby, Mission Memorial and Surrey Memorial have run an infection rate over 15 this fiscal year, while Fraser Health statistics show Royal Columbian’s is 14.4 and Peace Arch’s is 10.2.

Fraser Health is sending cleaning crews who have battled high levels of antibiotic-resistant bacteria at Burnaby Hospital to four more hospitals to try to wash down infection rates there. The so-called “super clean” crews will spend two weeks each starting April 2 at Langley Memorial, Peace Arch, Royal Columbian and finally Surrey Memorial hospitals. Petra Welsh, Fraser Health’s director of infection prevention and control, said the decision was made based on the work at Burnaby Hospital, where high rates of C. difficile (CDI) prompted doctors to speak out and led to an independent review and a series of new recommendations. “These four facilities are the ones that see the sickest patients, the ones that are most vulnerable to CDI,” she said. “These are also the facilities where we see the higher trend of C. difficile due to the large size of the facilities.” Hospitals will first declutter floors by moving some equipment and furniture into storage so cleaners can more effectively conduct the thorough two-stage enhanced cleaning. Crews will use a regular cleaner followed by a second disinfection using a bleach solution several hours later. The super clean treatment could roll out to even more hospitals, but Welsh said that need will be reassessed in the weeks ahead. C. difficile infects the intestines and can cause illnesses ranging from diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever and colitis, and in some cases, results in death. A number of deaths across the health region have been linked to C. difficile infections in recent years. Welsh said new infections are down in the wake of the Burnaby cleaning. “People say the sites smell cleaner and look cleaner,” she added. The work is being done by cleaning contractors Aramark and Sodexo, which have pulled in casual cleaners who normally work at Vancouver Coastal hospitals in order to meet the higher workload in Fraser. Hospital Employees’ Union spokesman Mike Old said Vancouver General and St. Paul’s hospitals are short-staffed as a result, remaining cleaners are over-worked and patients could pay the

Unions pick winners CUPE spent $11,250 in support of five elected trustees MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Organized labour was a big spender in last year’s election campaigns for Langley Board of Education, but unions and labour groups also contributed to council campaigns in Langley Township and Langley City. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) spent $11,250 supporting five trustee candidates, all of whom were elected. The Fraser Valley District Council and Fraser Valley Labour Congress spent $2,250 on four candidates for trustee (all of whom won), and also gave $500 each to the campaigns of Paul Albrecht for Langley City council and Murray Jones for Langley Township council. Both are CUPE local presidents. Neither was elected. Some of the candidates’ disclosure statements say that FVDC, which is based in the United Steelworkers office in Walnut Grove, operated a phone
bank on behalf of candidates. The Langley Teachers Association contributed $4,447 in kind to six trustee candidates in the Township, four of whom were elected. It donated another $1,854 to two Langley City trustee campaigns, with incumbent Rob McFarlane and newcomer Candy Ashdown both being elected in the City. The LTA’s contribution was “in kind,” a mailout to B.C.Teachers Federation members and phone calls supporting seven candidates — McFarlane, Ashdown, Wendy Johnson, Megan Dykeman, Cecelia Reekie, Douglas Smuland and John McKendry. LTA president Gail ChaddockCostello said in a letter to The Times during the campaign that “We will provide advice to Langley teachers and BCTF members living in Langley. This is not a public campaign, and we are not funding the trustees we have endorsed — they are all self-funded.” The Steelworkers union donated $1,300 to three trustee candidates — Johnson, Dykeman and Ashdown. All were elected. The other two incumbent trustees, Rod Ross and Alison McVeigh, used only their
own funds for their modest campaigns. They received no funding from labour. The Canadian Labour of Congress contributed more than $148,000 to campaigns across B.C. CUPE spent $127,000. The CLC supported the campaigns of the seven trustee candidates backed by the LTA, and Albrecht. It did not back Jones’ campaign. Jones received $4,600 from various arms of CUPE, and another $1,000 from the Steelworkers union. Albrecht received all his $5,600 in contributions from labour, with $4,600 from CUPE. Township mayoral candidate Mel Kositsky received $1,000 from local 403 of CUPE, which represents Township workers. Kositsky and eight candidates for Township council received backing in the form of signs and brochures from local 4550 of the International Association of Fire Fighters, which represents Township full-time firefighters. Endorsed by IAFF were winning candidates Grant Ward, Charlie Fox, Bob Long, Kim Richter, Michelle Sparrow and Steve Ferguson, along with defeated candidates Rebecca Darnell and Dan Sheel. — with files from Frank Bucholtz

H E R I TA G E M E AT S It’s more than just quality meats, it’s a passion.
Say goodbye to preservative-packed deli meats at box grocery stores and say hello to wholesome, organic products from Heritage Meats. At this butchery you will find everything from non-medicated, fresh meats, to homemade soups and salads. This is real food made fresh daily with real ingredients. Not pre-bought and pre-packaged supplements you see on box store shelves. Owners Eugene Vandenberg and Eleanor Cox have combined their passion for cooking and small business to bring you the best selection of healthy organic meats in the area. With 25 years experience in the butchery and culinary industry, they have the know-how and means to bring you superior products. All of their meats are locally sourced and prepared by hand onsite. With a touch of love here, and a dash of spice there it’s just like homecooking. And with no nitrates, preservatives, or msg you are getting the freshest products in their healthiest forms. Let Eleanor and Eugene share their passion in the kitchen with your family at home. All of the beef at Heritage Meats is dry aged, giving it that melt-in-you-mouth quality. The process adds huge flavour and less moisture into the meat. What a difference in taste! They also produce all of their own ground beef right in-store, grinding it fresh every single day. Specialty marinades, too, are made from scratch with wholesome ingredients and less salt than traditional store-bought products. “The market has changed so much over the years and now everything is processed inside the slaughter house, put into a bag and that’s where it stays,” Eugene said. “But here that doesn’t happen, we do
many other things with the meat such as letting it hang to break down the enzymes. The flavour that comes out is just unbelievable.” No matter what you are looking for, Eugene and Eleanor can make it happen. Whether it’s a cowboy steak, a small steak or distinctive pieces for food presentation, they can cut the exact size you need. “It’s so nice to hear our customers say, ‘I can’t believe the taste and the flavour. I can’t believe how fantastic that was.’ Or when older people come in and say ‘this is what meat used to taste like,’” Eugene said. “That’s because all of our meats have no hormones, no anti-biotics and no animal by-products. Poultry is another must-try at Heritage Meats. Brought in from local farmers, the chickens are free run and raised in open barns where they grow in natural, stress-free environments. You will not believe the higher quality texture and flavour! That’s the difference that comes with making food the right way. Eleanor’s special homemade salads only have a shelf life of three days, versus large supermarkets where their ordered in, pre-packaged salads will last 30 days. She says its because of all of the preservatives packed into them — extra ingredients, that just aren’t healthy. “I can’t stomach those foods with all those preservatives in them,” said Eleanor. “And everything that I make for my customers, I eat myself.” Now you really can have your cake and eat it too! Where else will you find healthy products with such a great taste? Come in and browse their selection of cheeses from around the world, fresh-made dips, chicken

Finding inspiration BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
F
ort Langley artist Suzanne Northcott has found herself in very good place lately. She’s engaged to be married, looking forward to the approaching spring and busily preparing to mount a solo show at Granville Fine Art. Well, it’s more of a “show-lette” really, said Northcott of her exhibit, titled Found, which will feature 13 pieces and hang for just one week. (It opened with an artist reception and demo last Saturday. The Vancouver gallery’s tendency toward shorter shows which feature a few smaller, more affordable pieces are an acknowledgement of the tough economic times, Northcott said. But there’s an upside to that, too, she added. “The format means they’ve got a real line up of super painters.” With her turn coming up in just a couple days, Northcott is busy in her small studio behind the Fort Gallery, putting the finishing touches on a small abstract painting. At this point, she’s not sure whether it will make the cut, but a larger piece, leaning against a studio wall, has already set itself apart as her favourite of the show. Titled Moss Nest, it depicts a trio of pale turquoise eggs arranged in a nest as viewed from above. After watching a video about Etsuko Ichikawa, a Seattle artist who ‘draws’ on paper with molten glass, Northcott took a fresh look at Moss Nest — which was pretty much finished — and began again, inspired by what she’d witnessed. “My influences come from all over — the natural world, poetry — but not often directly from other artists,” she said. In Ichikawa’s work, “the whole definition of drawing is being exploded to include all sorts of things. There’s deliberateness, but also graceful surrender.” As they have for some time, birds’ nests continue to play a prominent role in Northcott’s art. But what, precisely, is driving that at the moment, she’s not entirely certain. Could it be her upcoming marriage? “I’m coming at it, not so much from the literal sense of making a nest for my beloved and looking for a place to land,” she said. “At least, it doesn’t feel like that’s what it’s about.” At the same time, Northcott is well aware that her art and her life are

Everything cross-informs,” she said. The rich turquoise shades that predominate this collection of paintings — in contrast to the neutral tones she usually favours — might be another nod to her state of emotional well being, she acknowledged. “Things are lighter for me than they used to be. I’m in a good place in life; I’m excited for spring.” But it’s the nests themselves that are critical the element in Northcott’s paintings, not the eggs they hold. “I’m intrigued by the “hard and soft, the tangled and wild (versus) soft and held. “The light against dark can be dark against light, with the same branch. It’s that impossible place where things that seem
opposite can meet each other.” Pure abstraction is where it’s at for the artist, but generally, she said, viewers want to see objects they recognize, and can therefore connect with, in a piece of art. Hence, the eggs. While the show’s title, Found, works in a number of contexts, at its most basic, it could be considered a reference to Northcott’s habit of recovering used and discarded materials and turning them into works of both fine and functional art. “I’ve been working with found materials on several levels,” said the artist, who most recently turned a number of second-hand leather coats into one-of-a-kind handbags and hacked-away wisteria vines into threedimensional nests. “I’m totally into using what I have.” It’s not a new approach, said Northcott.
After all, artists have been doing it for millennia. “Cave paintings were done in charcoal, animal fat and blood, ground-up whatever was outside the door — reusing is not only timely, it’s timeless.” Found runs at Granville Fine Art, 2447 Granville St. in Vancouver until March 30.

Turning Point reached in Rose Gellert concert season Langley Community Music School will close its Rose Gellert Hall concert season this week, when it welcomes Turning Point Ensemble for the season finale, on Friday, March 30 at 7:30 p.m. The intriguing program, titled Jump for Joy, will show the relationship and reciprocal influence between jazz and “serious” music, juxtaposing works by Igor Stravinsky and Duke Ellington. “LCMS is thrilled to present this very unique and not to be missed concert,” says Elizabeth Bergmann, artistic director concerts for LCMS. “Bringing this project to fruition has been a wonderful collaboration on so many levels between The Turning Point Ensemble, international jazz artists and LCMS. “The partnership is a reflection of the ‘cross-over’ characteristics of the music that will be presented. “It will be exciting to witness the stellar ensemble perform world premieres of two new works along with music by such iconic composers of the 20th Century as Stravinsky and Ellington.” One of the concert’s featured composers, Brad Turner, is an LCMS alumnus, and the school is proud to have commissioned

Langley’s immigrant population is growing, especially in the area of ethnic minorities for whom English is a new language. However, a lack of adult literacy services and programs remains the biggest literacy challenge in Langley. Something that often comes up in discussions about literacy for immigrants is the need for people to participate in informal English conversation in a friendly, non-threatening environment. The Langley Literacy Network and the City of Langley Library are providing training to volunteers who are interested in leading conversation circles beginning in May. This training is open to anyone who interested in using these skills at any organization. It will take place at the City of Langley Library on Friday, March 30, from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Participation is free, but registration is required, as space is limited. Call the library at 604-5142855 for more information and/or to register.

Phantom grounds Rockets for gold Fraser Valley squad faces Edmonton Thunder to see who advances to nationals in PEI GARY AHUJA Times Sports
The Fraser Valley Phantom are one step closer to a spot at the Canadian national championships. The girls midget AAA hockey team captured the provincial championship on Sunday at the Walnut Grove Sportsplex, downing the visiting Thompson-Okanagan Rockets 6-1 in game three of the best-of-three playoff series. The teams had split the first two games of the weekend series, with the Phantom winning 2-1 in overtime on Friday night before the Rockets stayed alive on Saturday afternoon thanks to a 4-3 victory. “This year has kind of been a fairy tale year for us,” said Ray Werger, the Phantom general manager and president. “The last couple of seasons, we went through rebuilding.” The team is made up of midget hockey players from the Fraser Valley and parts of the Lower
Mainland. The Phantom finished atop the B.C. Female Midget AAA Hockey League with a 22-2-2 record. They defeated the Prince George Cougars in the quarter-finals and the Kootenay Wildcats in the semifinal series to advance to face the Rockets. Up next for the Phantom is a regional playoff series April 6-8 against the Edmonton Thunder, the Alberta champions. The winner advances to the Canadian national championships in Prince Edward Island. The Phantom will be hosting the best-of-three series against the Thunder at the Surrey Sports and Leisure Complex on April 6-8. Game times are 6 p.m., 1:15 p.m. and if necessary, 10:30 a.m. The teams played earlier this year at a tournament, with the Thunder prevailing. “We lost, but we were definitely competitive,” Werger said. “It will be tough, the prairie teams are always tough.”

Despite the loss in the championship, it was an outstanding season for the Eagles, who in January, became the first B.C. team to win the prestigious Regina Peewee Classic. “It was a hugely successful season,” Laurin said. “Short of winning that final game, the season was everything we had hoped for.” David Laurin led Langley in scoring with six goals and six assists while Jonathan Sein, James Malm and Connor Bruggen-Cate each scored four goals.

sports MAR ATHON / HALF MAR ATHON / 10 K RUN / 5K FUN RUN
Silver lining for Langley Eagles run out of steam in provincial championship final GARY AHUJA Times Sports
WHO?
MEL DICK, age 48, Abbotsford ambulance paramedic, father of Rachel and Tim, husband of Monika.
WHAT?
I am running the 55K Ultra Marathon on Discovery Trail with Ray Zahab because I like the idea of just running at a pace for a very long time. I started running seriously in 2009, and have run 10Ks, some half marathons and a full marathon, so this seems like the next logical challenge for me as a runner.
WHY?
When I am by myself and running I usually pray. I remember kids in Africa who need to walk for miles to get water; they inspire me to run. They need clean, accessible water so that they can go to school and grow up healthy. They need people like us to help them, so that they can live. I run past one pasture quite regularly. Much as I like steak, milk and cheese, I hate the smell of cows. When it rains, the stuff from the pasture flows onto the street, and it stinks. Yet kids in Africa are often stuck with water from sources that have cattle drinking from them and polluting the water. I run because it is the least I can do for these kids.
Fast Fact #1: $35 gives a
While it may sound like a cliche, it really was the case for the Langley Eagles. “They gave every ounce they had, I can honestly say that,” said coach Kevin Qualtrough. “I give the guys a ton of credit; they just did not quit.” The team was in Fort Nelson last week for the B.C. tier 4 peewee provincial hockey championships.
And unfortunately for the Langley squad, they opened and closed with a pair of onegoal losses to the Hazelton Bulldogs. In the gold-medal game on Wednesday, the Bulldogs jumped out to an early 2-0 lead before Trevor Punia got the Eagles on the board with a short-handed tally. Langley pushed for the equalizer, including a glorious scoring chance with 20 seconds remaining, but could not convert. Qualtrough said the final was “a good hard-working game” from both teams. Fatigue played a factor for both teams, as they only had two forward lines and the gold
medal game was their sixth game in four days. In Langley’s other games, they lost 6-5 to Hazelton in the opener, defeated Kelowna 5-3, beat Chetwynd 8-1, doubled up Whitehorse 4-2 and then scored a 7-1 victory over Fort Nelson. Punia led Langley with six goals and 10 points in the six games over the tournament while Clayton Schroeder led the team in assists with five and also finished second in points with eight. Nicholas Thiessen also had four goals and one assist for the Eagles. For the season, Langley finished with a record of 56-20-9.

O’Rourke resigns as Rivermen coach, GM Steve O’Rourke has resigned as head coach and general manager of the Langley Rivermen for personal reasons. “I would like to thank the Henderson family for the opportunity and the fans in Langley for their support and I
wish them well,” he said in a brief press release issued Friday afternoon. This was his first season with the junior A Rivermen. The team struggled to a 19-35-1-5 record and 44 points with a roster largely
inexperienced at the BCHL level. Langley finished seventh in the eight-team Coastal Conference. Prior to joining the Rivermen, O’Rourke spent two seasons with the American Hockey League’s Abbotsford
Heat as an assistant. Bobby Henderson will take over as the Rivermen’s head coach and general manager while Jordan Emmerson will be the associate head coach. Both were Rivermen assistant coaches last season.

Eagles fall in final GARY AHUJA Times Sports
A provincial championship wasn’t in the cards for the Langley Eagles. Playing Cranbrook in the midget tier 2 championship final on March 21 in Saanich, the Eagles fell 4-1 in the gold medal game. “We probably could have played two more games and not scored on that goalie,� said Eagles coach Ron Leroux. “We were destined not to score.� In the championship game, Langley hit five goal posts and missed several open nets, the coach lamented. “I think we used it (goal scoring) all up in the previous two games,� he quipped. Leroux was referring to the team’s 8-4 win over Rossland-Trail in the semifinals and their 7-2 victory over Prince George in the final round robin game. The Eagles went 1-2 in round robin play to
finish second in their pool. They lost their first two games by identical 4-3 scores to Powell River and Penticton, but bounced back to defeat Prince George. With Langley, Prince George and Penticton all sporting 1-2 records, the Eagles received their pool’s second spot thanks to having the best goal differential of the three squads at plus-five. Against Cranbrook, the Eagles played fantastic but were done in by a lack of finish. But the silver medal is a nice feather in the cap for the team which went 37-7-10 and won a pair of tournaments: the season-opening Seafair Icebreaker in Richmond and then the New Westminster Herb House tournament in December. The success doesn’t surprise Leroux. “Going in, I knew we had a lot of topend kids,� he said. “The team had the
feeling of a top-level team right out of the gate.� “It was just a matter of having them work together.� One of the things that impressed the coach was what they were able to accomplish despite losing 180 player games to injury. “Nothing like I have ever seen before,� he marveled. “So full credit to the group for staying the course.�

A new basketball camp aimed at the area’s youngest players is set to take off this spring. Beginning in April, One Pass Ahead Basketball — run by former White Rock Christian Academy coach Scott Allen, now coach of the men’s team at Trinity Western University — will launch a new developmental league, aimed at players in Grades 2 to 6. Players will practice once a week — sessions will “focus on skill acquisition and basic team play� — and play one game on the weekend. The program is set to begin April 1 and will wrap up May 31. Allen said the new program was designed because he and others at One Pass Ahead saw a gap in the development of young basketball players. In other sports — be it hockey, baseball or soccer — young players begin playing at the club level as young as four or five years old. But in basketball, Allen pointed out, players usually don’t begin to play competitively until high school. “There is a lot of basketball going on, but not always at the highest level,� Allen said. “The key, for us, is to improve athlete development, and right now as a community, that’s a need that we aren’t meeting. “We’re just trying to fill that gap.� The One Pass Ahead club program will be run out of gyms at the Langley Events Centre, White Rock Christian Academy and Earl Marriott Secondary. For more on the club, or to register, visit www. onepassahead.com, email onepassahead@gmail. com or call 604-812-5908.
