Officer who fired fatal shot testifies at Wright inquest Sgt. Don Davidson tells how ‘simple’ file quickly turned to lethal force MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
The Langley RCMP officer who shot and killed Alvin Wright in his Langley City bedroom on Aug. 6, 2010 took the stand at a coroner’s inquest on Wednesday morning to give his version of the events of that night. During his testimony, Sgt. Don Davidson told the inquest that he went upstairs to where Wright was thought to be sleeping, so he could “talk to buddy” about letting his girlfriend get her stuff out, when this “simple” file turned lethal. “I flick on the lights and I don’t see him. Part of my training is to clear a room. “I look at the closet and I see someone’s head,” Davidson told the inquiry. “I see something metallic and I think, ‘Holy shit.’ I hit the closet doors to knock him back to give me some time. “He’s got a knife in one hand and a hatchet in the other,” said Davidson. “My mind is thinking “simple” file, and you’ve gone from police presence to lethal force that quick. If you don’t have your firearm out at that point, you’re stupid,” he said. Davidson testified that he told
Wright: “Drop the knife. We don’t want to shoot you.” Wright replied: “Shoot me,” said Davidson. The senior officer said that he has been in these situations before and he was trying to talk to Wright, to deescalate the situation. “He has to Sgt. Don surrender or Davidson I am f***ed,” Davidson said. “He’s staring at me. I’m thinking, ‘Holy shit.’ “I didn’t see the hatchet anymore. “He’s coming out of the closet with the knife.” Davidson testified that he was backed up against the bed and a chair, saying, “I can’t go anywhere but towards him.” Davidson said he was within arm’s reach of Wright, and the officers in the room were all yelling, “Drop the knife,” when Wright advanced. “I fired one round to the midsection. He looked me in the face and said, ‘I wasn’t going to stab you, dude,’ and he fell over,” Davidson said. Over the next hour or so, firefighters and paramedics attempted to revive Wright, but he had already gone into cardiac arrest and had massive internal bleeding. continued, PAGE 4

Eight new firefighters for Township 2012 budget also calls for one more RCMP officer and renovations to Murrayville firehall FRANK BUCHOLTZ Times Reporter
Taxes in Langley Township will rise by 2.95 per cent in 2012, council decided unanimously on Monday. The jump in taxes will pay for increased operating costs in a number of areas, along with the hiring of eight new firefighters, one RCMP officer and renovations to firehall 6 in Murrayville to make it compatible for full-time firefighters. Council will not proceed with a planned 0.5 per cent tax increase for transportation and roads maintenance, and a 0.5 percent increase for a capital infrastructure renewal fund. The latter will be discussed when the 2013 budget is being prepared. Council still has to formally pass the 2012 budget. Monday’s vote was to receive a report on the budget and input from the public, and to decide on specific items within the budget.A five-year financial plan and appropriate bylaws will come forward at the April 16 meeting. Councillor Kim Richter said she wants to see the components of the tax increase explained to taxpayers when they get their prop-

Langley Township firefighters examine the remains of a pickup truck that caught fire at 248 Street and 72 Avenue on March 20. The Township’s 2012 budget, which took another step toward adoption on Monday afternoon, includes funds to hire eight new full-time firefighters. erty tax notices. Administrator Mark Bakken said that can be done in material that accompanies the tax notice. A 0.7 per cent tax increase will go towards hiring the eight new firefighters, with another .45 per cent to finish the firehall 6 renovations. The additional police officer will cost .05 per cent extra.
Councillors not ready to dive into pool project
“I support the eight new firefighters, in the name of public safety,” Richter said. “I want people to know how much we are putting into public safety.” Councillor Bob Long said it was good to add the eight new firefighters in the 2012 budget, because “if you do it in smaller bits, it comes up each year.”
Aldergrove swimming pool will get built – but not yet, say Langley Township council members MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
A new Aldergrove pool and recreation centre will not be completed by 2014 as enthu-
“It’s most efficient to introduce eight firefighters now, instead of over several years,” said Councillor Bev Dornan. Councillor Steve Ferguson noted that spending more money on public safety means less money somewhere else. He said he would have liked to see the transportation and roads and capital replacement
siasts had hoped, but it will be conceived sometime in the future, according to Langley Township council. Joanne Nicolato, chair of the recentlyformed Aldergrove Pool Committee, spoke to Township council Monday night to make her case for why the Aldergrove community needs a new swimming pool and recreation centre. Nicolato, who was featured on the Million-Dollar Neighbourhood reality TV project filmed in Aldergrove this past year by the Oprah Winfrey Network, is a strong believer that Aldergrove needs the new infrastructure to bring the community together. Once a critic of Aldergrove, since being
part of the Oprah Winfrey Network show, Nicolato says she has found a new love and pride for her community. “I found myself bursting with community pride. I went from not caring at all to now wanting to do whatever I could to support our businesses and to bring back life to our community,” she said to council. The Aldergrove Pool Committee is currently handing out surveys to calculate exactly how much support there is for their project. Nicolato says people from all surrounding areas will also be using the centre, so it will benefit residents beyond the borders of Aldergrove.

funds proceed, but “we have to work within our means.” Councillor Grant Ward said the fact that the transportation and roads maintenance funding isn’t going in the budget means “the potholes we see now likely won’t be repaired as they ought to be.” Councillor Charlie Fox said the public input into budget issues jumped dramatically in 2012, with 96 people attending two open houses, as compared to 28 last year. A staff report noted that “the substantial increase in attendees can be mostly attributable to the attendance of Township of Langley firefighters.” The International Association of Fire Fighters, local 4550, which represents Township firefighters, has been vocal about the need to hire more firefighters, to ensure there are always four-man crews responding to fire calls. Another 100 people filled out a public input response form. Councillor Michelle Sparrow did not speak on the budget, but voted in favour. While her husband is a Township firefighter, Bakken said Tuesday that Sparrow is not in a conflict of interest in participating in the vote. Bakken said her husband is already a Township employee. Bakken said Sparrow has obtained an independent legal opinion advising her which council discussions she must excuse herself from. The Township’s financial plan calls for 2.95 per cent tax increases in each of the next four years, through to 2016.

Top cop to testify from PAGE 1
During cross examination it was learned that Davidson only had to give a verbal account of what happened to Insp. Amrik Virk. Although he met with Cooke briefly, no account of that evening and the shooting of Wright was written down or recorded until three months later by the VPD. By that time, Cooke had already reinstated Davidson. Davidson broke down on the stand during testimony about his conversation with the officer in charge after he returned to the detachment following the shooting. Cooke told Davidson, “I just want you to know, you are going to feel a lot of different things, and if you want to go home, go.� Davidson was then driven home by another member. Vincent Stancato, the presiding coroner has ruled that Cooke will be summoned to testify at the inquest. Stancato made the decision on Wednesday morning before Davidson took the stand. Stancato said that to ensure public confidence, the inquest must be independent and thorough, and that includes asking Cooke why he reinstated Davidson to active duty before the officer had even made a statement about the events of that night, and before the Vancouver Police Department investigation. Stancato also wants to know what information Cooke publicly claimed to have about that night, to justify putting Davidson back on duty.

Mounties went upstairs to check on Wright, inquiry told MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
With her gun drawn, Langley RCMP Const. Patti Ramsay climbed the stairs to the bedroom where Alvin Wright was crouched inside the closet. She was one of four RCMP officers who responded to an Aug. 6, 2010 call to the Langley City townhouse where Wright and his girlfriend Heather Hannon lived with their seven-month-old daughter. Ramsay testified on Tuesday that she noted that the toilet in the upstairs bathroom had just been flushed and the door to the bedroom was closed. At a coroner’s inquest into the police shooting death of 22-year-old Wright, Ramsay testified that she didn’t announce herself at the bedroom door. Instead, she tried to open the door.

Langley will host Special Olympics in 2013
FRANK BUCHOLTZ Times Reporter
The 2013 Special Olympics BC Summer Games will be held in Langley. The announcement was made on Monday to Langley Township council and on Tuesday to Langley Board of Education. It is hoped the City of Langley will become involved as well. Lois McNary, vicepresident sport for Special Olympics B.C., said that 1,100 athletes will take part in 11 sporting events. The Games will be held from July 11 to 14, 2013.
The athletes will compete in 11 summer sports: five- and 10-pin bowling, aquatics, athletics, basketball, bocce, golf, rhythmic gymnastics, power lifting, soccer and softball. McNary said the Langley Games will be the largest ones ever held in B.C., and will serve as a preview of the national Special Olympic Games, which will be held in Vancouver. Elected officials were shown a video of an earlier Summer Games in Comox, and the enthusiasm and athleticism shown was obvious.
Constable unsure if Davidson identified himself to victim from PAGE 4
She said Davidson then tried the door and was able to open it with ease. Nothing was blocking it. “We were up there to check on Alvin’s well being,” she said when asked why they had gone upstairs. “Did you call out his name from downstairs or think to ask his brother to go get him?” asked inquest counsel Rod Mackenzie. “I don’t recall,” Ramsay said. “Were you going upstairs to arrest Alvin?” Mackenzie asked. “The purpose was to check on his well being,” said Ramsay. “Isn’t it normal course of action in a domestic dispute to arrest?” he asked. She agreed. Ramsay testified that she doesn’t recall if Davidson announced himself when he walked through the door. He walked by the bedroom closet, and she heard him say “What are you doing in there?. What do you have? Drop the knife.” She testified that Davidson then tried to open the closet and then kicked the closet door open, finding Wright sitting down with his knees up and a hunting knife in his right hand, down near the floor. “Don kept talking to him, to drop the knife and asking his name,” she said. Wright repeated his name to them. She said Davidson was speaking calmly and softly. She said she saw Wright get up in the closet and make an advance towards Davidson, with the knife held at his side, pointing forward. “To me, that is an aggressive motion,” she said. Once Wright took a step towards Davidson, one shot was fired into his midsection. “Didn’t anyone ask Alvin to stop moving forward?” asked lawyer Don Sorochan, counsel for widow Heather Hannon. She replied that Wright advanced with the knife, was shot and fell to the ground. She didn’t see a hatchet in his hand. Neither did Const. Brent Halm who testified that he was called upstairs by Ramsay after Davidson saw a knife. David Eby, counsel for Alvin’s father Allan, asked Ramsay why she refused to give investigators one set of notes she made from the incident. “Those were my notes made for my personal being and for my psychologist,” she replied. Eby then asked what kind of support services are offered for officers following such traumatic experiences as this.
McNary commented that athletes could be competing for Oscars as well as medals in the Games. These Games will mark the first time that Special Olympics BC and Yukon athletes participating in basketball, bocce and golf will be able to compete for the chance to advance to the national games. These three current demonstration sports will be part of the Special Olympics Canada Games for the
first time in 2014. “Special Olympics BC is excited to be hosting our 2013 provincial Summer Games in Langley Township. “We’re grateful for the support and co-operation of the Township and the Langley School District that will help make these Games an amazing experience for the athletes who will come together from all around the province and the Yukon to give their best efforts
and go for gold,” said McNary, McNary said afterwards that she hoped the City could become involved if some of the venues are in the City. Langley Special Olympian Matthew Williams, 19, spoke to Township council on Monday. He has been competing in Special Olympics since he was in Grade 8 and has served as a global messenger for the organization. As such, he has met
many well-known individuals,such as Warren Buffett and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and represented the movement around the world. “I am happy and honoured that Langley will host these Games in 2013,” he said. “It is truly one of the greatest experiences when you have hundreds of people cheering for you.” In response to a question from Councillor Steve
Ferguson, McNary said that an organizing committee will begin to form in the next few weeks, and the call for volunteers should begin in June. Mayor Jack Froese, who was on the executive that hosted the B.C. Summer Games in Langley in 2010, said there will be no problem finding people to get involved with the Games. “The Township will roll out the red carpet,” he said. “These Games will be the best.”

Aside from degree-granting status, one of the things that helps to distinguish a university from a community college is its campus. And for a university that boasts a popular school of horticulture, it’s particularly important to look the part. When Kwantlen Polytechnic stepped into the university sphere in 2008, it was evident that work needed to be done on its Langley grounds, said David Davidson, associate dean of the school. “We wanted the campus to look like a university that has a school of horticulture of quality.� While the north half of the campus, where the horticulture school is located, is filled with greenhouses and green space — including a turf field where students learn to maintain golf courses and sports fields — the south side of the university’s property “sort of dribbles off into the creek,� said Davidson. “We want the south campus to catch up with the horticultural side.� So, about a year ago, landscape architects at van der Zalm and Associates were tasked with creating a design that not only improves the appearance of the Langley campus, but offers opportunities for practical experience for KPU’s horticulture stu-

for landscape redesign dents as well. The design, presented at an open house at the university last Thursday afternoon, does just that, Davidson said. Based on consultation with faculty, staff, students and community members, the design places an emphasis on not only outdoor gathering spaces and educational elements, but an overall greening of the campus. “It’s kind of grey when you drive past — a sea of asphalt,” said Ryan Crago, senior project manager with van der Zalm and Associates. The campus straddles a section of the Langley Bypass east of Glover Road, with the school of horticulture located on the north side, accessed by a pedestrian overpass. One of the main design elements of the plan involves the Bypass itself — turning it into a parkway and creating the sense that vehicles are passing through the university rather than by it, Crago explained. It also calls for the greening of the vast parking lot through the addition of trees. Because
this will reduce the number of parking spaces available to students, the project design also recommends the construction of a multi-level parkade with a planted roof. “Kwantlen wanted the campus landscape to be a learning landscape, and we built that into the plan on both sides,” Crago said. A demonstration court located near the main campus building would provide an opportunity for horticulture students to get practical experience while helping to improve the overall look of the grounds. Among the proposals to create functional areas as well as elements that will be useful to faculty, staff and students alike, are a market and events space near the academic core of the campus, walking paths on the north side of the road, as well as a raised boardwalk and wetlands overlook. The plan also suggests, there could be a small outdoor concert venue adjacent to the music department, recreation fields and courts, rain garden, a bird watch-
ing platform at an existing retention pond on the south side of the buildings and patio space outside the new school of nursing. Since the campus opened nearly 20 years ago not a lot has been done in terms of landscaping, and so Davidson would be happy to see significant progress made over the next four or five years. “It’s important that we be fairly aggressive in pursuing full implementation, but we’re going to have to be ingenious about how we get the money together,” he said, acknowledging it will be a costly enterprise. At the same time, Davidson said, there has to be a solid plan in place. While setting priorities will be up to a landscape committee, which Davidson anticipates will be struck soon, he is hopeful it will be a systematic process. “My preference is going after it in an organized way, rather than cherry picking different areas and ending up with a haphazard result,” he said. “That would be a wasted effort.”

A turbulent week
Gas prices remain a mystery
T
his week is turning into a very turbulent one for Premier Christy Clark. While she will likely hold onto her leadership of the BC Liberal Party and the provincial government, Monday’s defection of Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen to the BC Conservatives is a body blow. Not only did he leave the government caucus and switch parties, he took several shots at Clark’s leadership. In particular, he took issue with her approach to paying the legal fees of two former government staffers in the longrunning BC Rail case, and the furore over the naming rights for BC Place. Van Dongen may have some very speciific personal reasons for leaving, as his longtime friend Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman indicated, shortly after van Dongen made his announcement in the Legislature. However, he has some very specific policy differences with the government. The issues he brought up are issues that many British Columbians wonder about. The BC Rail case, in particular, is a mystery. Clark was at least peripherally involved in the sale of the Crown corporation back in 2003, and definitely had very strong ties to several of the central figures. The extent of her involvement in the sale remains a mystery,and denials aren’t the same as actual proof. What adds intrigue to the BC Rail case was the government decision to pay the legal fees of the two former aides, Dave Basi and Bob Virk, part way through a trial, if they pleaded guilty. This was just as former finance minister Gary Collins was about to testify. As of yet, the auditor-general has not been able to get to the bottom of why the payments were made, van Dongen points out. Van Dongen has merely stated what many others are thinking. Many are longtime BC Liberal voters, and are seriously pondering how to vote in the next election. They may have doubts about the BC Conservatives, but van Dongen has just given them a good reason to at least take another look. Clark needs to respond in a substantive way to van Dongen’s statement, and not simply fall back on the line that B.C. voters have no choice but to vote for the “coalition.” That line of defence isn’t strong enough to bring voters back to her party. Her party also needs to stop making personal attacks on those who disagree with it.

lright, what’s with this gas price situation? Campbell Riverites are now paying amongst the highest prices on Vancouver Island for gasoline. We’re paying as much as Port Hardy – $1.39.9 – which defeats the argument that it’s the price of shipping the fuel that accounts for the differences. Only Gold River’s gas is higher than Campbell River’s. It’s always been a mystery how the oil companies price their gas. It can be so arbitrary. One community – the Comox Valley, for example – can be significantly different, allegedly because of a competitor moving into the market. But you’ll remember that a few years back, Campbell River used to have cheaper gas than the Valley. It’s also a mystery how prices can leap up by as much as a dime but they only “drop” by a cent or two. It all points to the fact that there’s some oil company executive sitting in his high Alberta tower cackling away playing, “let’s set the gas prices on Vancouver Island.” OK, we’re being facetious. There isn’t really a malevolent oil executive having fun with gas pricing at our expense – we think. How else we’re supposed to explain the way prices bounce up and down at a seeming whim is beyond us though. The only way we can wrestle control of this situation away from the oil companies is to not use their product. But we’re not going to do that, are we? We’re not going to get out of our cars and walk more or take transit, are we? Not yet anyway, because the convenience of an automobile is still worth what we’re paying to fuel them. Maybe we need to fuel them with something else. —Campbell River Mirror (Black Press)

TB funding shortfall threatens everyone Editor: Tuberculosis is a leading infectious killer, responsible for more than 1.4 million deaths each year. Yet more people than ever are being treated for this disease, and for the first time in history death by TB is on the decline. This is an incredible accomplishment, but we are challenged by our own success: incurable, all-drug resistant TB is now spreading due to inadequate treatment, which creates drug-resistant strains of the disease. A $2 billion underfunding of the largest TB treatment provider, the Global Fund, compounds this spread. Canada is one of the world’s leaders in implementing programs and funding to fight TB. It is in our own interest to take a leadership role and convince the world to eliminate this funding shortfall. There are no borders to infectious disease. Nathaniel Poole Victoria

Canadians must join forces to protest MPs’ rich pensions Editor: I have been researching the pension plan offered to Members of Parliament and have found it to be a lavish expenditure of taxpayers’ money — an expenditure which we Canadians cannot afford. MPs receive between $157,000 and $314,000 per year. The average Canadian earns $45,000. Canada’s national debt is now over $580 billion, and growing. After six years of service, MPs are entitled to a pension. This is calculated at three per cent, times years of service, times salary. For example, an MP who served three terms and earned $200,000 because they took on an extra duty would have their pension calculated at three per cent times nine times $200,000. This equals $54,000 per year for the rest of their life, beginning at age 55. The average Canadian does not have a pension other than what they are able to save and the minimal government pensions. We have seniors in our country who are going to food banks and free meal centres, as they cannot pay their rent and buy food. Most of these Canadians are people who have worked all their lives, paid taxes and are devastated to now have to ask for help. The average MP pension is $78,000. I have no doubt that MPs feel that they deserve this level of remuneration and perhaps they do. Sadly, what we deserve and what we can afford are two different issues. We as Canadians cannot afford these pensions. We cannot afford these pensions as long as the government is debating whether or not to raise the level of eligibility to 67 from 65 to save money. Not as long as we have hard-working Canadians who have reached their senior

Saying he had “extreme difficulty� with the testimony of former Langley vet Mark Marohn, Surrey Provincial Court Judge Reginald Harris ruled that Marohn was using an emaciated former racehorse to tow a car from a ditch on Dec. 10. 2008. Judge Harris found Marohn guilty of two animal abuse charges Wednesday morning, one of neglect and one of permitting animals to be in distress. At his trial, Marohn denied a claim by an RCMP officer who said she observed Marohn trying to use the sickly horse named “Buddy� to get a car out of a ditch. The horse had to be put down at the scene. Marohn said the horse got loose,
and he didn’t want to return it to the stall because he was worried it might get out again. Judge Harris said he didn’t believe Marohn’s testimony. “I have extreme difficulty with it,� Harris said. “I don’t accept his story, because it makes no sense.� “(It’s) difficult to accept.� The judge described the testimony of Liseanne Dumas, the Langley RCMP officer who said she saw the horse tied to the car, as “clear, consistent and straightforward.� “I am satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused was using Buddy in an attempt to free the vehicle,� Harris said.

the City would take against French. “I was very distressed to learn of the alleged mistreatment of several goats and sheep adopted out to a local farm. . . . I have also directed our city solicitor to take aggressive legal action under the comprehensive adoption agreement signed by this farm owner at the time of adoption,” said Barnes in a press release. “News of the alleged violations of one of the adoption agreements signed with the park board for the animals at the farm is extremely distressing. Park board staff undertook a comprehensive process to find appropriate locations for the animals.”

On March 14, a wedding ring set was turned over to Langley RCMP and police would love to see the invaluable jewelry returned to its rightful owner. The set was found in a sample book from Frames-West Gallery in Murrayville. It’s likely the ring has been there for more than two years as the book hasn’t yet been used by the current owner (who bought the business two years ago).
The set is a yellow gold wedding band welded together with an engagement ring, approximately size six. There is an inscription on the inside of the ring that is barely legible to the naked eye. “Surely someone is missing this sentimental piece of jewelry,” said Cpl. Holly Marks. If you misplaced your ring and can describe the piece, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

B.C. to change electricity policy places and at the wrong time of year. BC Hydro can move power around as well as store it, and that ability will improve when the smart grid is completed. Independent power doesn’t end there. It shifts to northern B.C., where three liquefied natural gas projects will need output equivalent to two and a half Site C dams to operate. Coleman confirmed that at least one modern gas-fired power plant will be needed to develop LNG, which is expected to be in business before Site C could be built. That powerhouse will likely be built by the LNG developers, and used to back up new intermittent sources of offshore and land-based wind and any river or geothermal sites available along a new northwest power line. B.C. will likely have a second gasfired power plant in the northeast corner, to supply the Horn River shale gas development and processing plant now underway. Coleman says that plant should be able to capture carbon dioxide and sequester it deep underground. Fort Nelson and points north will remain off the BC Hydro grid. Even with carbon capture in the northeast, Campbell’s greenhouse gas targets look to be the next part of his legacy to be abandoned.

circumstances Marohn found himself in, after he suffered a disabling injury that prevented him from working and his wife’s equally disabling health issues that left him destitute at the time of the incident. “He was depressed, his marriage had broken down, they were selling items from the house for food,” the judge noted. Marohn had six horses, including Buddy, that were growing steadily thinner as a result of lack of food, but had refused an SPCA offer to take them off his hands because one of his daughters would not be allowed to visit her former pet, the judge said. “He was aware they were becoming emaciated. He was aware that something had to be done, but he didn’t want the SPCA to take them.” Harris described Marohn as a “kind-hearted professional
man” who “allowed his heart to take priority over his good judgment.” Marohn faces a possible maximum jail term of six months. Sentencing has been postponed six weeks to allow a pre-sentence report that will include a psychiatric assessment. Crown prosecutor Liane O’Grady said it was possible the psychiatric assessment would reveal “mitigating” information about the stress Marohn was under at the time of the incident. Marohn’s lawyer Jackie Percival said her client want to get the sentencing over with that day, but the judge said he would need more information before he imposes a penalty.

Earth Hour a ‘win-win’ for our environment and our wallets Turn your lights off on March 31 It is a simple, effective way of making a difference, and everyone is invited to join in. On Saturday, March 31, both the Township and the City of Langley will help to combat climate change by turning off their lights between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. as part of Earth Hour. Organized by the World Wildlife Fund and sponsored locally in part by BC Hydro. Earth Hour is an annual global effort designed to make a difference for the planet. “Not only can individual participation and simple changes make a big difference for our planet, but they could also lead to money staying in our community,” said Township of Langley environmental co-ordinator Ryan Schmidt. “In a typical year, as a community, we spend roughly $61 million on electricity. There are small things we can all do to reduce our electricity use to combat climate change and prevent some of this money from flowing out of our community. It truly is a win-win.” During the March 31 event, lights at the Township’s Civic Facility, Operations Centre, libraries, and Langley Centennial Museum will be shut off. Nonessential lights at recreation centres and leased facilities, as well as at fire halls, community police stations, and the Langley RCMP detachment will also be turned off. The Township’s participation in Earth Hour will not affect the operation of public facilities that will be open at that time. Lights required for security, parking, or safety will remain on, but will be dimmed or reduced if possible. “Energy conservation happens one household at a time,” said Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender. “I encourage residents to think beyond this symbolic ‘one-hour’ event to changes that can be made on an ongoing basis which will result in continued reduction of energy requirements in Langley and across B.C.” Provincially, participation in last year’s event resulted in a 1.8 percent
reduction in the provincial electricity load, in just one hour. Residents and businesses are also encouraged to take part in
Earth Hour by signing up at EarthHourCanada. org. Did you know? • Earth Hour was started in 2007 by WWF
in Sydney, Australia • Last year, residents and businesses in the Township of Langley achieved a 1.34 per cent reduction in electricity
demand during Earth Hour — annualized, this represents a value of nearly $820,000. • The World Health Organization estimates
that climate change is already causing more than 150,000 deaths a year • Currently, Canada is one of the top 10
nations contributing to global climate change. • In Canada, 36 per cent of our national energy mix is from nonrenewable sources.

Easter Township council considers new Bake Sale synthetic turf field for Aldergrove SATURDAY APRIL 7 • 10-3
implications of the request. They tried to figure out just how the proposal would work, and how much the community would need to raise. McDonald said about $135,000 has been pledged already to convert the gravel field to turf. Al Neufeld, manager of parks design and development, said that because a contract has already been awarded, the Township would not likely get all the $250,000 back if it cancelled the parking lot addition. “With charge orders, we don’t always get full value credit. We usually would get 60 to 80 percent back.” Councillor Charlie Fox already had a notice of motion on the soccer field on the agenda. He agreed to combine his motion, calling for staff to prepare a report on the feasibility of the request to move the parking lot funds over to the turf practice field project, with another from
Times Reporter
Aldergrove soccer enthusiasts are keen to turn a gravel practice area into an synthetic turf field, but Langley Township council wants more information before giving the plan the green light. Reid McDonald appeared before Township council Monday afternoon, suggesting that the Township not proceed with a $250,000 parking area, which is part of a $1.7 million project to build a new turf field at Aldergrove Athletic Park. He said that, with that money, funds raised by the community and an estimated $103,000 saving in the current project’s budget, there would be enough funds to pay $436,214 to convert the current gravel field to synthetic turf. However, council members grappled with the financial
Councillor Bob Long. Councillor Kim Richter asked about the distribution of synthetic turf fields in the Township. Neufeld replied that there are synthetic turf fields at McLeod Athletic Park and adjacent to the Langley Events Centre. The one in Aldergrove is under construction, but there are none in Walnut Grove or Brookswood. “They have all-weather practice fields,We would recommend synthetic turf in Brookswood and Walnut Grove first. There is less desire to play or practice on gravel as new synthetic fields become available,” he said. Council agreed to get further information from staff about the financial implications of turning the gravel field to synthetic turf, and to look at how it fits in with other field priorities. Members of the community who attended council promised they would help raise more funds for the project.

Pets’ shedding is always a popular topic among pet lovers. We have become so accustomed to it, that it has become a part of our everyday wardrobe. Your cat/dog insists that you’re covered in it before you leave for work in the morning. There are some breeds that are less prone to shed because they have a specific type of coat. But these breeds may require more maintenance on their coat, otherwise they will tangle or mat. The reality is; individual hair has a lifespan, and when it dies it will shed itself. Therefore, that hair will either stay in the coat and create a mat, or it will fall out and end up on you. Although shedding is just a natural thing in your pet’s life, there are some simple solutions that will help make your couch and scarf less likely to end up with your favorite companion’s fur. The first solution would be to start brushing your dog on a regular basis. How often you groom will really depend on your pet’s coat. Naturally a pet with a longer coat will require more regular brushing because their loose hairs are more noticeable around the house. As well, their coats have a much greater chance of matting. A great grooming tool to help eliminate the excess shedding is the “Furminator”. The “Furminator” is a quick and easy way to conquer the hairiest dog in any shedding season. This shedding tool is so amazing it even has a 30day money back guarantee and was recommended on CTV’s “Olson on your Side” as the best shedding tool on the market. The tool’s uniquely designed stainless steel edge gently grabs loose undercoat hair and harmlessly removes it without cutting or damaging the topcoat, while restoring the pet’s natural oils, promoting healthier skin and a shinny topcoat. The “Furminator” works great on all shedding cats and dogs and can help reduce shedding up to 90%. Personally, I truly find the “Furminator” an amazing must have grooming tool for any household pet. You’re welcome to come down to Harvey’s and try it for yourself.

National SAM awards presented to local companies
GVHBA members honoured in Quebec The Canadian Home Builders’ Association held its 69th annual convention on March 17 in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, and four Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association members were among the winners of the National SAM Awards. “The awards ... recognize outstanding performance in new homes and renovation design, innovative technology and construction techniques, and outstanding marketing and sales activities,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. Portrait Homes was the recipient of the Community Development Award, which recognizes excellent achievement
in creating an attractive, exciting and innovative community for its development Silver Ridge. Adera Development Corporation won the New Home Award for best multi-family project for zen (Salus phase C and D), while Harald Koehn Construction won a Home Renovation Award in the Any Room category. TQ Construction was also honoured with a Home Renovation Award in the Addition category. “Winning a National SAM Award is a major accomplishment within our industry,” CHBA President Ron Olson says. “Every award recognizes an outstanding success.”
Townline was nominated for Best Townhome/Rowhome Development: Less than 2,000 square feet for its project Clayton Rise, while Boffo is nominated for Best Multi-Family Highrise Development for Jewel.
Adera is a finalist for the FortisBC Award for Excellence in Energy Efficiency for New Construction with its seven35 project in North Vancouver. The awards will be handed out on April 28.

GVHBA announces Ovation Award nominees by Kerry Vital
The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will be giving a standing Ovation to its finalists at its third annual Ovation Awards next month, which honour excellence in new home and renovation design, construction, accessibility, sustainability, affordability, energy efficiency and heritage restoration. The list of finalists in 41 categories was released last week. Among the group is Kenorah Construction & Design, ParkLane Homes, Portrait Homes and My House Design/Build Team, among many others. “Last year, Vancouver-area homebuilders spent nearly $4 billion on home renovation, and builders started construction on 17,867 new homes,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. “Residential construction is a major contributer to Metro Vancouver’s economy and the GVHBA is delighted to partner with FortisBC and the Homeowner Protection Office to honour the industry’s brightest stars.” ParkLane Homes reigns as the topnominated builder, with 13 finalist nominations including Multi-Family Builder of the Year, Single-Family Builder of the Year and Best SingleFamily Detached Home: 3,000 square feet and over. The nominations are spread over several ParkLane communities, including Headwater at Bedford Landing, Time at Walnut Grove and Winchester. Portrait Homes has been nominated for seven awards, including Best SingleFamily Detached Home: Less than 2,000 square feet and Best Townhome/ Rowhome Development: Less than 2,000 square feet. “As a long-standing member of the GVHBA, Portrait Homes is very proud of have received these seven Ovation Award nominations,” says Vice-President of Marketing and Sales
Troy Steine. “Receiving recognition at this level would not have been made possible without the dedication and commitment from each and every one of us here on the Portrait Homes team. ... We will continually strive to improve the design and finishing of our homes, our service to our clients and our overall customer experience.” Several other builders appear among the finalists, including British Pacific Properties, Townline Group of Companies, Boffo Developments and Adera Development Corporation. British Pacific Properties was nominated for Best Single-Family Home: 3,000 square feet and over for its Highgrove – Whitby Estates showhome and Best Townhome/ Rowhome Development: 2,000 square feet and over for Aerie.

Buy a Power Smart home, save three ways Save now, and save later: not many homes can promise you that. But when you buy a home from a Power Smart New Home Builder you’ll save money, including reduced mortgage insurance and lower monthly bills. An EnerGuide label is your assurance that the home is independently rated to be energy-efďŹ cient. And don’t forget, an energyefďŹ cient home is more comfortable too. Layout, amenities, and those much-promoted granite countertops. There’s a lot to think about when you’re buying a new home. But there’s one feature that can make a positive difference to your wallet when you purchase, and every month that you own your home. Choosing a Power Smart New Home gives home buyers an easy way to find a home that is designed and built to save energy. “Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,â€? says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydro’s Power Smart New Home program. “If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage. But many new homes are not built with energy efficiency in mind - so looking for the EnerGuide label is wise.â€? An EnerGuide rating is a standard measure of a home’s energy performance, rated on a scale of 0 to 100. A rating of 0 represents a home with major air leakage, no insulation and extremely high energy consumption. A rating of 100 represents a house that is airtight, well insulated, sufficiently ventilated and requires no purchased energy. The first benefit you’ll find is on your mortgage insurance: Power Smart New Homes qualify for a 10 per cent refund on Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage
“
Buying an energy-efďŹ cient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,â€? says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydro’s Power Smart New Home program. “If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage.â€?
Insurance. You’ll also save on your monthly bills. Homes that are rated EnerGuide 80 use at least 30 per cent less energy than an average new home. That’s money in your pocket every month – especially great when energy costs are only expected to rise. Buy a home with a rating higher than EnerGuide 80, and save even more. The third benefit is resale value; as energy costs rise and green building continues to gain popularity, a home that demonstrates its efficiency will likely hold its value as compared to one that is inefficient with high monthly operating costs. There are other benefits as well, Overholt says. “Builders who are smart about energy efficiency are adopting improved building practices and making use of new technologies. Their homes are more comfortable – cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter – while using less energy overall. It’s hard to add energy efficiency later; you need to get it built in from the start.� The Power Smart New Home program gives you an easy way to find houses, townhomes, and condos that are designed to save energy. For more information and to find your energy efficient dream home, check out the full listing of Power Smart New Home Builders and featured developments at bchydro.com/pshomes.
NOT ALL NEW HOMES ARE BUILT WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN MIND. That’s why it pays to look for a Power Smart New Home Builder when shopping for your next home. Power Smart New Homes are independently rated EnerGuide 80 or higher, which means they use at least 30% less energy than an average new home. And since they’re built the smart way, they stay cooler in the summer and cozier in the winter—all while saving you money for years to come.

Sts’ailes sign on to Hemlock resort expansion KURT LANGMANN Black Press
A newly signed partnership to develop a 6,000 hectare expansion of the Hemlock ski resort is a result of three years of negotiations between the Sts’ailes First Nation and Langley entrepreneur Ralph Berezan. But over the 60 year term of the contract, Sts’ailes Chief Willie Charlie said it will bring changes that will transform the way his people live. For this reason Chief Charlie emphasized that “the benefits we were able to negotiate are going to equal or be greater than those impacts.” The Sts’ailes Healing Centre hall on Morris Valley Road was filled to capacity for the signing ceremony earlier this month, and guests included representatives of other First Nations, provincial government ministries and neighbours of the Sts’ailes. The ceremony followed Sts’ailes customs and included traditional songs and dances, but there were also good-natured exchanges of jokes and barbs between
Charlie and Berezan, demonstrating the respectful fondness for each other that the two men have built over the three years of negotiations. The proposed development area is massive at 6,000 hectares and will extend the existing Hemlock ski resort to the western shores of Harrison Lake. In addition to the new mountains opened to skiing and a web of ski lifts, there are plans for a marina, hotels, golf courses, riding stables, zip lines and more. “It’s a development that’s going to take 60 years (to complete),” said Berezan, noting that the application is still awaiting final approvals from senior levels of government. Kurt LANGMANN/Black Press “The Sts’ailes are not the Langley businessman Ralph Berezan and Sts’ailes Chief Willie only government I have to Charlie signed a 60 year partnership contract to develop a 6,000 report to. hectare expansion of Hemlock ski resort. “The ministries are watching me like a hawk and presented a $100,000 cash gift committed to replacing one of have to give me their approvals to the Sts’ailes Legacy Fund, “as the older lifts at Hemlock with — that’s what I’ve got my a token of our appreciation.” a new quad chair lift by the fall lawyers for,” said Berezan, to Chief Charlie stressed “the of 2013. laughter from the audience. magnitude, the enormity” of the “It’s a start towards this In the meantime, Berezan has impacts of “this very significant project,” said Berezan, who also

milestone for the Sts’ailes... it will have impacts forever on our people and once it starts we can’t get it back.” The benefits are, first and foremost, jobs and opportunities, said Charlie. As a year-round destination, Hemlock is projected to provide 22,000 jobs over the 60 years. “I go to the school and I tell young people, ‘you can be whatever you want to be in our own territory, in this one development’,” said Charlie. “Also the stewardship policy, the heritage policy, the environment policy is incorporated in the contract, to help us maintain the integrity of our territory. “We are always willing to roll up our sleeves and do our share of the work, to stand up for what we think is right and not expect something for nothing. “We’re going to be transparent, very clear and sometimes very loud,” said Charlie. “I also want to acknowledge Ralph Berezan for setting the tone and example for others that want to do work in our territory.”

The City of Langley unveiled its new Economic Development Strategy during a presentation at its council meeting on March 5. “The intent of the strategy is to identify a clear set of goals, objectives and specific actions to further enhance the City of Langley as The Place To Be for economic development,” said Mayor Peter Fassbender. The economic development strategy builds upon the City’s strengths and determines what economic opportunities should be
Aldag honoured for his efforts
targeted and how best to pursue them. It provides the reader with an understanding of key community trends affecting the community and its residents. Feedback obtained through interviews conducted in December and January with community stakeholders representing the City, the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Langley Business Association, and the business and development community. The following four goals for economic development were identified based on the review of various community plans and feedback obtained during the interview process: 1. A competitive and vibrant downtown area.
John Aldag received the Lifetime Excellence Award at Tourism Langley’s annual general meeting. The award recognizes an individual or business that has made a significant contribution to the tourism and hospitality industry and has committed to attracting and increasing the number of visitors to the Township and City as a destination.
2. A recognized regional destination for new development. 3. Infrastructure renewal (underground and above ground) that encourages economic activity and contributes to the City’s quality of life. 4. Strong sector partnerships that facilitate investment activity, job creation and economic diversity. The strategy recommendations and implementation are structured around the following eight themes: information and research, business development, marketing and attraction, downtown, infrastructure renewal, tourism, film and education.
“John Aldag personifies the word innovation,” said Bev Dornan, who presented him the award at the AGM on Feb. 29 at the Langley Events Centre. “He has re-connected our historic sites with local communities, the First Nations, developed novel partnerships with businesses and stakeholders, and spearheaded a variety of programs.”

Bison comes to Langley Kwantlen appoints pair Winnipeg trucking company acquires 20,000 square foot facility GARY AHUJA Times Reporter
Wanting to take advantage of the growing opportunities in Western Canada, a Winnipeg-based trucking company has come to Langley. Bison Transport has acquired a 20,000 square foot facility on six acres in northwest Langley. “This is pretty significant for us,” said Trevor Fridfinnson, Bison’s vice-president of western operations. “We’ve been growing and we’ve been in the B.C. market, but we didn’t have the infrastructure to support the next stage of growth in the market.” The company is located at 9818
198B St., in the northwest Langley industrial area.The area adjoins Port Kells and Surrey. “(The location) is a footprint which allows us to have a base of operations where we can serve people more readily,” Fridfinnson said. Bison will share the facility with another trucking operation for at least the first 12 months. “This purchase represents a leap forward in Bison’s presence in the B.C. region and most importantly, a strong base by which to better serve and grow with our clients, as well as our driving and non-driving staff.” Bison services all over Canada and 48 U.S. states and has more than 1,000 trucks and 1,800
employees. The company, which was incorporated in 1969, offers full truckload service, full service logistics, fleet operations, yard management and warehousing and distribution. The Langley location is just minutes from the Trans-Canada Highway. It has a 12,000 square foot office building and five trailer service bays and a cross dock bay. The facility is a mid-range terminal for Bison, whose largest bases are in Winnipeg, Mississauga and Calgary.They also have terminals in Edmonton and Regina and warehouses in Montreal, Kelowna and Delta. Fridfinnson said there will be about 75 office staff and 150 drivers based out of the facility. The company anticipates its B.C./Alberta operations to grow by about 30 per cent over the next year or so.

They went to the African country as part of a humanitarian mission organized by Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ruth Hoffman and Right To Play, an organization designed to use sport and play to enhance child development in areas of disadvantage. Langley was supposed to play Uganda at the Little League World Series, but the Ugandans were denied entry to the U.S. due to discrepancies in their paperwork.
Three local athletes found the podium for the Twisters Gymnastics Club at the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Invitational meet. Jonathan Osers, competing in the junior and senior divisions, won gold on the floor, vault and parallel bars. He also won bronze on the horizontal bar, and a bronze medal in
The trip also served towards raising money to construct a new baseball field for the Ugandans closer to the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes, starting an educational scholarship fund and creating a travel fund to help send future Ugandan teams to international tournaments. Altogether, $155,862 was raised to cover the entire trip and legacy projects. Documentary filmmaker Jay Shapiro is also working on a project about baseball in Uganda, called Opposite Field. It will include footage of the Langley teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit. It is set to debut later this year.

Spartans win Keg Spring Cup Colleen Webber’s free kick goal late in the first half helped the Trinity Western Spartans capture the 2012 Keg Spring Cup in Victoria. In Sunday’s final, Webber’s goal broke a scoreless tie as the Spartans defeated the Victoria Vikes 1-0 to win their second straight Keg Spring Cup title. “It’s nice to be the Keg Cup winners,” said coach Graham Roxburgh. “Victoria was a very formidable opponent and were always very dangerous. “I was really pleased with how we defended corporately and how we performed overall on offence as we generated decent (offensive) opportunities with a number of young players.” He was especially impressed with the play of Natalie Boyd in the midfield and the team’s

entire back four. On the game’s only goal, Webber’s shot hit underneath the cross bar, bounced down and into the net. “Colleen hit an absolute bullet, which I don’t think any keeper would have been able to stop,” Roxburgh said. In the Spartans’ other game, they posted an impressive 3-0 win over the Alberta Pandas on Saturday. Jessica King and Melissa Mobilio scored in the first half, while Rachel Antoniuk struck early in the second half. Next up for the team is an exhibition match against the Vancouver Whitecaps prospects on April 3 at 7:30 p.m. at Rogers Park on the TWU campus. ••••• The Spartans men’s team could not make it a clean sweep
Langley United rallied from a first half deficit to advance to the championship finals. Playing in the Vancouver Metro Soccer League’s U21 semifinals on Friday night, Langley fell behind 1-0 early in the game against the Sapperton Rovers FC. The game was played at Langley’s Willoughby Community Park. But Denny Serifovic netted the tying goal for the home side
for the Trinity Western soccer program. The Spartans fell 4-0 to the Fraser Valley Cascades in Sunday’s final at the Keg Spring Cup in Victoria. “Extremely disappointed in our performance,” said coach Pat Rohla. “We played a workmanlike solid UFV team, but we gifted three goals to them. “Overall, it was an extremely poor performance that reminds us that nothing gets gifted, you must work for every ball and every result.” The Cascades scored twice in each half, including an own goal from the Spartans. Trent Mayer scored in the 28th minute, Daniel Molendijk struck in the 47th minute and Ethan Collins closed the scoring in the 90th minute.
midway through the second half and Andy Phillips scored the only goal of the overtime to send Langley through with a 2-1 victory. Langley had beaten the Rovers twice already this season. They will now play for the VMSL championship on Saturday (March 31) against the West Van FC. The game is at noon at Vancouver’s Andy Livingstone Park.

DE GROOT, Marius Hendrick July 11, 1936 - March 18, 2012 Marius de Groot passed away on March 18, 2012 at the age of 75 in the Abbotsford General Hospital. He was born and raised on a farm in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Marius survived WWII and played a significant role in harbouring the Jews during this time. At the age of 18 immigrated to Chilliwack, BC, and in 1962 was married to Corina Boot as well as purchased a bakery which he owned and operated, Fraser Valley Bakery, with his sons. They raised 5 children, Natalie, Peter, Duane, Calvin and Monica. They also have 10 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. Marius is also survived by brother Cor. Marius lived a very busy and active life involved in prison ministry, fitness, karate, continuous learning, and loved to have fun in all things and with everyone. He will be missed very much by everyone who knew him. Memorial service took place Friday, March 23, 2012 at the Trinity Christian Reformed Church, 3215 Trethewey St., Abbotsford. -
LEVENSTEIN, NANCY (nee Rossen) March 2, 1947 - March 15, 2012 Beloved wife, mother, grandmother and cherished daughter, sister and aunt. Nancy passed away peacefully at Langley Memorial Hospital after a lengthy and courageous battle with complex health issues. Survived by her devoted and loving husband of 45 years, Max, and forever in the hearts of her children, grandchildren and extended family. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba she was pre-deceased by her parents Allyn and Doris Rossen of Winnipeg. Nancy spent most of her adult life in Richmond BC raising her children. While her children were growing up Nancy was extremely involved in and contributed greatly to her synagogue as well as her children’s school and many extra- curricular activities for the benefit of her family and community. An amazing cook and devoted Mom, she loved to laugh and make birthdays and holidays very special for her family. Once her children were teenagers, Nancy opened her own wedding store, where she very successfully built her business from a small table in a corner of an office to one of the largest wedding stores in Western Canada. Known for her love of funny movies, her kind and generous spirit, her love of great food and great fun, dogs and burnt popcorn, Nancy will be terribly missed by all who knew her. The funeral was held at Beth Tikvah cemetery in White Rock B.C. on Friday March 16th, 2012. Rabbi Claudio Kaiser-Blueth officiated. The family would like to specially thank Dr. Phillip Cilliers, Dr. Mariola Januszewska, Dr. Albert Chan, Nurses Sinu Barghese and Glenda King as well as the many other nurses and professionals who cared for Nancy over the last 3 months including Pinder, Paul, Margaret, Linda, Donna and Shannon. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Canadian Diabetes Association or Beth Tikvah Synagogue.
