Search on for new superintendent Langley School District has put out the call to fill position that has been empty since January MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
The job posting has officially been released, and now the Langley School District is one step closer to selecting a new superintendent. The position has been empty since the firing of Cheryle Beaumont in January by a 5-2 vote of the board of education, and has since been temporarily filled by acting superintendent Suzanne Hoffman. The search is being overseen by secretary-treasurer David Green and assistant
superintendent of human resources Jennifer Canas. Green said neither of them are interested in applying for the position. In a meeting on Feb. 27, the board drafted a set of criteria needed for the person who will take over the role. According to Green, the characteristics of the district had to be clearly defined first in order to select someone who will best fit the needs here in Langley. “We did an examination of what the district’s culture is and in addition the district’s goals to determine what the district profile is for potential candidates,” he told the board on March 27. “Candidates for the position of superintendent would be interested in what the district profile is, what sort of district are we and what sort of things do we do here.” The board has been working in partnership with the organization Make a

The superintendent job posting will close on April 20 and interviews for the position will take place in May. Applicants will be screened through behavioural crosschecking and behavioural interviews, Green said. “Candidates for the position will have to demonstrate that they have experience and that they can actually support prime examples of how they’ve done something in their careers, how they manage themselves and how they read people and that sort of thing,” he said.

A 24-year-veteran of the RCMP has been suspended from duty and faces a charge of careless use of a firearm, after Langley Mounties responded to a call of shots fired at around 9 p.m. on Wednesday, March 29. Const. Michael Roe, 46, was arrested without incident outside his Langley home Wednesday night and his duty pistol was seized. He was held overnight and appeared in Surrey provincial court on Thursday. Roe, who is currently posted to the federal drug enforcement branch, was off duty when an undisclosed number of shots were fired from his duty pistol into the wall of his residence. The police officer’s wife and children were home at the time, but nobody was injured in the incident. Langley RCMP held a press conference on Thursday afterInsp. Amrik noon to announce the charge Virk against Roe, but Insp. Amrik Virk stressed that with the investigation just 18 hours old at the time,“there is a great deal of investigation yet to be done.” He would not confirm how many shots had been fired, but said it was “more than one.” Asked whether the incident was deliberate or accidental, Virk replied that he could not answer the question, but pointed once again to the charge of careless use of a firearm. Virk also acknowledged that it is possible more charges could be laid as the investigation proceeds, but added that he wouldn’t speculate as to what they might be. In addition to the charge, a code of conduct has been ordered. Virk said the RCMP are being held to a high degree of accountability and the officer “will be held to a high standard.” “The commanding officer has been briefed on this matter and has been clear that he requires all of the information available . . . so that he can make an informed decision in regard to the member’s pay,” reads a release issued by Langley RCMP.

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese signs the new 20-year RCMP contract on Monday afternoon, as Langley RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke looks on.
Police contract inked
MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
It was more than four years in the making, and on Monday afternoon Township Mayor Jack Froese along with Langley RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke made it official, inking a new 20-year contract with the federal policing agency. “The RCMP work very closely with us so this is great moving forward. The improvements made in this contract bring it up to the standards that we demand today,” said Froese. With the new contract, municipalities have more say about policing costs and budgeting. And if a municipality is really unhappy with the RCMP services, there are easier ways to opt out. “This is a partnership that helps to ensure residents . . . feel safe and
protected, and enjoy an excellent quality of life.” Froese was especially pleased that Langley’s other mayor, Peter Fassbender, was involved with the negotiations all the way through. Cooke said he’s always worked closely with the Langleys and is happy to give his chief’s report to councils at their public meetings every quarter. “We are happy to continue working with residents, businesses, volunteers, and elected officials to provide the best police services possible. Our members take great pride in what we do, and we look forward to reducing crime and keeping the community safe in the years ahead.” Last month, the federal and provincial governments renewed the RCMP’s B.C. policing contract. Policing makes up the majority of each municipality’s yearly budget.
The father of Alvin Wright still has many unanswered questions after the coroner’s inquest into the police shooting death of his 22-year-old son concluded with seven strong recommendations to the RCMP on how to prevent future deaths. Al Wright first heard the recommendations from the four-day inquest late last Thursday night. The jury deliberated on the recommendations for four hours. “The recommendations are helpful if the RCMP take them seriously,” said Wright. The police shooting death took place in August 2010, when Langley RCMP attended a “domestic” 911 call at the Wright townhome in Langley City. Sgt. Don Davidson, along with another officer, came into Alvin Wright’s bedroom to talk to him and check on “his well being.” Davidson fired a single shot into Wright’s abdomen after Wright advanced towards him carrying a knife in his hand, Davidson testified. Davidson told the jury he had no other option but to shoot Wright. The young man’s dying words were, “I wasn’t going to stab you dude.” Wright died of massive internal bleeding from the bullet. Supt. Ray Bernoties, officer in charge of the B.C. RCMP’s communications, told The Times the force is currently reviewing the recommendations and will reply to the coroner in writing. He wouldn’t say how long it would take to respond to the coroner, but less than a year. When asked if that letter would be made public, he said it was up to the coroner, not him. It’s also not clear if the B.C. RCMP would adopt any of the recommendations or whether its reply will be given to Langley RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke. Both Davidson and Cooke testified at the inquest that the shooting was justified and necessary. Cooke said with a surface look, maybe a Taser could have been the better choice, but there wasn’t one at that scene. Davidson said he felt vindicated by giving his testimony about what took place that night and he would do the exact same thing again, given the same circumstances. But the jury didn’t agree. They made seven recommendations for the RCMP to consider to prevent future police shooting deaths. “These recommendations show that the jury looked with skepticism at the claims of the shooter and senior management at Langley RCMP that there was nothing to change in relation to this incident, and that this incident was unavoidable,” said David Eby, lawyer for Wright’s father.
“This was entirely avoidable had the officers followed policy, or at the very least announced their presence loudly, to avoid surprising Alvin in his bedroom that evening. That they did neither and that Alvin is now dead is a tragedy,” Eby said. Wright took the stand on Thursday, providing a slideshow of pictures of his son, describing a young father who was maturing as a man, who had no criminal history, and was a productive member of society. He told the jury that he believes the shooting should have been handled in a court of law, not at an inquest. He said life has been a “living hell” since his son’s death. He said Alvin’s mother is so “completely devastated” by her son’s death she couldn’t bring herself to come to any of the proceedings. Al Wright believes Crown counsel should be looking at this case for criminal charges against Davidson. “At the inquest, we heard that the weapons my son was supposed to be holding had likely Al Wright been moved. We heard that the bullet casing had been moved. We heard that . . . the bullet direction through my son’s body is completely at odds with the story of the police officer who shot him,” said Wright. In the inquest, no police officer could recall moving the knife and hatchet, which sat neatly beside each other in the closet.The emergency responders all testified that they had not needed to move them to work on Alvin. The bullet casing was standing on top of a TV set in the closet. In testimony from the Vancouver Police investigation it was learned that fingerprints and DNA were requested from the knife, which Alvin had in his hand at the time Davidson shot him. But no fingerprints were ever taken because the lab technician taking DNA samples from that weapon suffered a brain aneurism and nobody followed up after that. Wright wants to know what happened that evening, and why the scene was so altered. “Nobody admitted moving anything, and no explanation for the bullet travelling from left to right instead of front to back was given. We have so many unanswered questions, including whether my son was even holding those weapons when he was shot, given that the DNA testing and the fingerprint testing produced no results and this was so out of character for a boy with no criminal record.” For the jury’s recommndations, see story on page 4. More of Davidson’s and Cooke’s testimony at the inquest is contained in a story on page 9.

Jury makes seven recommendations at coroner’s inquest MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
KEEPING IT GOING
Stories I never told my Mom! CONTEST Are you up for the challenge?
The jury at the coroner’s inquest into the police shooting death of Alvin Wright have made seven recommendations for how the RCMP can prevent similar deaths from happening. It took the jury of five just under four hours to render their verdict after four days of often emotionally charged testimony from all the Langley RCMP officers involved, as well as witness accounts from Wright’s widow, brother, various emergency responders, doctors and Langley’s Officer in Charge. Some of the highlights of the verdict include recommending police involved in a shooting have to make a recorded or written statement within 24 hours of the incident and then again in 72 hours, “without exception.� Currently, there is no requirement of police Sgt. Don Davidson who have shot and killed someone while on duty to give any statement. They only have to give a brief verbal account, as was the case after Langley RCMP Sgt. Don Davidson shot and killed Wright in August, 2010. He didn’t have to make a statement about his version of events until more than three months later when he drafted a response with his lawyer. The jury also want to see police announce themselves when entering a home, or a room, when it is safe to do so. This is something two of three officers who entered Wright’s bedroom that night couldn’t recall doing.The jury and coroner also felt there needs to be some sort of co-ordination, leadership and formulation of a plan when multiple officers attend a 911 call. When the four officers arrived at different times to the Wright residence, none of them discussed a plan of how to handle the situation. The officers said this is standard practice, because the situation is fluid. They also recommend that officers be taken off duty for a minimum of 12 hours and assessed by a psychologist to see if they are fit for duty. Currently, their superior can order them back to duty. It was learned that RCMP officers are seen by a psychologist after a shooting but are not required to continue counselling. There is critical incident

debriefing available, but it was not offered to Davidson. They also suggested that police review their training on compassion and empathy techniques. This comes after it was learned that Langley RCMP held Wright’s girlfriend for hours, refusing to let her see her parents and continued holding her there after she was told that Wright had died. Police also arrested Wright’s brother at the scene, holding him in cells until the police chief ordered that he be released to his father. After he learned his brother was dead, police demanded he make a statement to police. Langley RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke took the stand last Thursday, saying the brother’s statement probably wasn’t necessary and agreed more compassion should have been shown. Last Thursday, Cooke said he will look at the recommendations made by the coroner’s inquest. Likely it would be up to the BC RCMP, not a single detachment, to implement any changes to policy. Cooke said the night of the shooting he was called to the detachment and spoke with all three officers involved, offering them compassion. He didn’t ask them about the events of what took place. The inquest lawyer, Alan Wright’s counsel and the widow’s lawyer all questioned why such compassion wasn’t offered to Wright’s family, who were held for hours at the Langley detachment. “I advised our investigators to keep them there to get evidence,� testified Cooke. “Did the officer not have to give his evidence too?� questioned inquest counsel Rod Mackenzie. “I wanted to allow him the opportunity to obtain counsel,� Cooke replied. “Is that a luxury you afford civilians?� Mackenzi asked. “If they ask,� Cooke replied. When questioned, Cooke said he heard Wright’s widow Heather Hannon let out a scream of anguish when she was given the news her boyfriend was dead. He said he also heard her screaming in the detachment to “let me go.� He did not inquire about her well-being or whether she should be released. The Coroner’s Inquest Jury Recommendations: 1. Police should announce their presence unless deemed unsafe to do so and the front and back of their vests should have large reflective font with the words “POLICE;� 2.

Health Matters
April is Cancer Month and a Canadian doctor is thinking “outside the box” for a way to treat aggressive cancers. He has theorized that improving the blood flow to a cancerous tumour can actually calm it down, making it less likely for the cancer to spread. He and his team have received a grant to test this theory – another example of the kind of thinking that has placed Canada at the front of cancer research. More novel cancer research is taking place in Chicago. In this case, scientists are manipulating the DNA of killer T cells, which the body uses to fight both infections and cancers. DNA is inserted into the killer T cells causing them to produce more of an activating protein. These charged-up killer T cells can now more aggressively attack enemy cells – plus, they better “remember” the enemy if faced with it again in the future. An observational study is suggesting that a class of blood pressure medications (the angiotensin II receptor blockers – or ARBs) may be behind a reduced risk of cancer. In a Taiwanese report, patients taking ARBs,

Long-term thinking
Goal has been dashed
T
he federal budget takes a stab at dealing with several challenging issues which will face Canadian taxpayers in the future. The biggest single challenge is the expected jump in federal expenditures from rising Old Age Security payments. As the Baby Boomer generation ages, more and more people will be collecting OAS payments. While a few of those payments will be fully clawed back due to high income levels, most will be paid out to seniors. The increasing cost of providing these payments, which are the largest single direct payment from Ottawa to individual Canadians, will be a huge burden to those remaining in the work force. Keep in mind that many younger people are working at relatively lowpaying jobs, and their prospects for enjoying the type of wages that Baby Boomers received through much of their working lives aren’t nearly as good. Gradually raising the age when people can first receive the OAS from 65 to 67 is a good way to deal with rising future costs. No one who is close to retirement and has been planning on a retirement age of 65 will be affected, but notice has now been served to those who are 53 or younger that the age of eligibility will change. Another very important long-term move is to begin to tighten up public service pension plans, including those of MPs. While no specifics have been worked out, the government is working towards a higher retirement age, having public servants and MPs pay more into pension plans and boosting the age at which MPs will get pensions (they can now get them at age 55). All of these ease pressure on taxpayers of the future. The third long-term strategy is to eliminate the deficit by 2016. This is an excellent step forward, and if it comes sooner, that’s even better. When the government isn’t running a deficit, it can start to pay down its debt. The sooner it does this, the better. While interest rates are low, it makes sense to both pay down debt and refinance other debts which now involve higher interest rates. Reducing annual interest payments is the best single way to ease pressure on future taxpayers for the long term. Many governments craft budgets with an eye to the next election, and fail to think long-term. This budget contains several key long-term strategies, which will over time ease the pressure on working people. That’s good news.

o, this is not an April Fool’s joke. Everyone under 54 will have to spend an extra two years in the work force before they can cash in on their pension. Yep, thanks to our federal government, the eligibility for Old Age Security is now 67. Those close enough to retirement, born before April 1, 1958, are exempt from the changes. But the rest of the working folks can tack on an extra two years to their countdown to the so-called golden era. Of course retiring at 65 was never an option for some anyway. More and more people have come to the realization that they cannot afford to retire at that designated age, especially if they don’t have access to a work pension. But for many, that number – 65 – symbolizes a goal that we are working tirelessly toward, day in and day out, to reach. We’ve already mapped out our futures based on that number. Because despite spending the majority of our lives at our jobs, work is only a slice of the pie of life. Therefore, many of us are looking forward to the days when we can fully enjoy life and cash in on our hardearned 40-plus years of work. Obviously, the federal government needs to ensure the financial sustainability of the pension system, particularly given our aging demographics. But for those hoping to retire at 65, these changes have pushed their goals further out of reach. The sad part is, some people may never see their hard-earned pensions, because by the time they retire their life may actually expire. Yes, some people are living longer these days, but there are still so many who will fall ill to disease, tragic accidents or bad habits. —Vernon Morning Star (Black Press)

Drivers don’t need restrictions Editor: An opinion column in The Times (March 27) suggested raising the age of driving to 18. I am 46 years old, and have been driving since I was 15. This is when I got my learner’s license and did my driving test to get my drivers license on my 16th birthday. If you take all the kids that turn 16 and get their licenses, and take the total that commit driving offences, what is the percentage? Is it one per cent or 1.5 per cent? People don’t understand. There will always be people who speed and try to show off in front of their friends, and there will always be accidents. That’s why we call them accidents — nobody does it on purpose. What needs to be changed is our laws, our prisons and our sentencing for crimes. In the March 22 Times, a news story noted a bank robber got eight years for robbing a few banks. If the sentence is five years for robbing a bank and you rob five banks, then the sentence should be 25 years. There should not be any less days for good behaviour — it’s 25 years. A few weeks ago, I read about a driver in a hit and run accident was convicted of two counts of dangerous driving causing death, and two counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm, and one count of fleeing the
accident. This person received a total sentence of four and one-half years. This sends a message out to every person who hates someone. Just run them over with your car, and your sentence will be reduced dramatically. The bank robber didn’t kill anyone and he’s going to jail for a longer period of time. I feel the driving age should return to 16, and drivers should be able to get a full driver’s license with no probationary time. If you screw up and lose your license, then make it more difficult to get it back. For all the bleeding hearts out there who feel this is much too harsh, you can take the police officer’ position. Then you can tell a father with four small children that his wife was killed by a hit and run driver. Or tell the parents of a girl that their daughter has been killed in a head-on vehicle accident. You will soon stop feeling guilty for the not so innocent. As for the owners of the vehicles that were involved in the head-on crash in Maple Ridge referred top in the editorial, no insurance should be issued. Let the parents of the kids who died sue the parents of the kids who lived for knowing better, but acting differently. That’s my opinion. Wray Kizlyk, Langley

A vehicle waits outside the Langley driver’s licensing office, where its driver will undertake a road test. Letter writer Wray Kizlyk says there should be no restrictions on 16-yearold drivers.
We are witnessing political double-speak Editor: John van Dongen, the brand-new Conservative MLA from Abbotsford South, did not use political double-speak when giving his reasons for leaving the BC Liberal party. He pointed his finger of recrimination directly at Christy Clark for her incompetent attempt to play the role of a provincial premier.
Meanwhile, Kevin Falcon and George Abbott are now musing aloud about not running in the next election. But both are being calculatingly careful not to offend any Clark supporters. Their sudden disenchantment with politics seems opportunistic. Not long ago they were running for the leadership of the BC Liberal party. Unfortunately for them (and the party), they ended
up second and third respectively behind Clark. Both Falcon and Abbott are using political double-speak to send the same message to the Liberal backroom powerbrokers: Get rid of Clark and I’ll stay, because I want to be the next premier of British Columbia. Lloyd Atkins, Vernon
Return democracy to TransLink decisions Editor: There seems a bottomless well of anger towards TransLink. Premier Christy Clark is capitalizing on this dissent by announcing an audit of TransLink. What good is an audit that doesn’t address the reasons for the financial mess? The Liberal government under Gordon Campbell removed the mayors from the TransLink board, and filled their seats with appointees. At
a minimum, democratically-elected mayors had to answer to their constituents. An audit without putting in place a democratic governance model is a PR stunt. I have worked as a HandyDart driver since its inception in 1981, and have a long history dealing with the transit authority, both as a worker and a bus rider. The HandyDart budget has been frozen until 2015, despite the ever-increacing
elder and disabled person community. At least in the past, mayors had to face the tears and anger of those trapped at home. An audit will not address the true cost of the Liberal government dismantling a democratic governance model. Auditors don’t look at social benefits or costs. Mark Beeching, Langley
Smart meters will suck up more money Editor: BC Hydro makes a voltage potential available to your home. In the past, you paid for what you used. Now with smart meters you will pay for power even if you don’t use it. The following paragraph was emailed to me by a friend in BC Hydro: “P.S. Smart meters are capturing electricity
that is lost at the meter that BC Hydro could not charge for but can now. Even if you do not use it, you are charged for it. “This is the role of a smart meter. Watch your bills go up. “Courtesy BC Hydro lineman friend. Cheers.” Governments the world over have found a new way to suck more money out of our pock-
ets. The billion dollar cost to implement this program will be paid back very fast, because this government won’t wait 15 years to get their hands on the cash. With this much cash going through the books, I wonder if some will fall by the wayside? John Winter, Langley
Tower could come to your neighbourhood Editor: Re: “Critics argue against proposed cell tower,” (The Times, March 27), we are a group of concerned citizens in this neighbourhood. Over 95 per cent of us are against the installation of this tower. The proposed construction is only 13 metres from a neighbouring house. The
Constructing a tower in a central residential area for convenience purposes is not a valid reason; these belong in industrial areas or on major thoroughfares. This proposed 150-foot faux tree tower will literally tower over everything in the area, and does not fit in with the scenic character of the
neighbourhood. We are situated in the middle of a very rich ecosystem where the environmental impacts could be severe. If it is allowed to come to our neighbourhood, and as long as the procedure for cell tower placement stays the way it is, yours could be next. Concerned residents of Tall Timbers
KAYAK LOST Editor: I am the Quartermaster for 2nd Langley Scout Group. It is my responsibility to care for our group’s gear and supplies. On the evening of Friday, March 30, one of my leaders was towing a trailer of canoes and kayaks to a cub camp at Cultus Lake. Unfortunately, somewhere between 208 Street and 264 Street, on 16 Avenue, one of our kayaks fell off the trailer. The leader spent many hours driving and walking 16 Avenue, searching for the kayak, to no avail. Someone must have picked up the boat. Our scout group has very little money. Many of the members are from low-income families, and Scouts is one of the few ways they can experience activities like kayaking. With government gaming funds gone, operating programs and replacing a $1,000 kayak is impossible. The kayak is a yellow Current Designs Breeze boat. It is polyethylene, so it very likely survived the fall from the trailer. If any of your readers found the boat, or knows of its whereabouts, I ask them to please contact me at kaa.quartermaster@ shaw.ca, or phone my office at 604-533-7774. Peter Stepney, Langley
MP FINGERED Editor: Langley citizens need to know about their MP’s role in chairing the recent hasty and incomplete review of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The parliamentary committee that Mark Warawa chaired made 20 recommendations, preparing the way for the minister of finance’s budget announcement that environmental reviews will be speeded up, and many believe will be weakened. Meanwhile, changes that would remove habitat protection from the Fisheries Act are also being considered. Taken together, these two actions constitute a huge threat to our environment. In the north, Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline will have environmental obstacles to approval removed, while here in Langley developers won’t have to worry anymore about those pesky little fish-bearing streams. Warawa’s constituents should be appalled. Peter Thomson, Langley

The Langley School District is turning to the community for help with the development of the Long Term Facilities Plan. The district is holding six community consultation meetings this month at each high school in the district for families to attend. In February, the Board of Education posted a draft online of its vision statement and guiding principles of the plan for public feedback. According to the draft, the long term plan will “enhance student learning by supporting educational programming initiatives and addressing changing demographics within an equitable and financially sustainable framework.�
The plan will focus on creating new educational programs and providing support for current successful ones, ensuring changing enrolment rates in schools will be accommodated for the next 10-15 years and creating more efficiency within facility and administrative costs. It also includes the construction of the new Lynn Fripps Elementary School, which will be open for class this September, as well as a new middle school that is scheduled to open in September, 2014. Both will help to alleviate classroom overcrowding on the Willoughby slope. The public is encouraged to attend the information meetings and to voice their opinions on what the plan should include. Dates for the meetings are: • Wednesday, April 4, 6:30-8 p.m.
in the Walnut Grove Secondary School library. • Tuesday, April 10, 7-8:30 p.m. in the Brookswood Secondary School library. • Monday,April 16, 6:30-8 p.m. in the Aldergrove Community Secondary School library. • Wednesday,April 18, 6:30-8 p.m. in the Langley Secondary School library. • Monday,April 23, 6:30-8 p.m. in the D.W. Poppy Secondary library. • Tuesday, April 24, 7-8:30 p.m. in the R.E. Mountain Secondary library. Additional surveys and town hall meetings will be scheduled in the coming months as the plan evolves. Any questions or feedback can be emailed to facilitiesplanfeedback@ sd35.bc.ca.

Officer followed training MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Besides giving a brief verbal account to two of his superiors, Langley RCMP Sgt. Don Davidson was not required to offer a detailed statement, either written or recorded, of what took place the evening he shot and killed Alvin Wright until three months after the fact. At a coroner’s inquest into the police shooting, it was learned that Davidson’s information about what took place that fateful August night in 2010 was not asked of him until more than 90 days later, when he prepared a written statement with his lawyer. That statement was requested by the Vancouver Police Department which was placed in charge of investigating the Langley police shooting.The VPD never met with Davidson to interview him, but did clear him of any wrongdoing. The investigation took over a year to complete. Davidson, and the other two officers, were kept on full duty by Langley RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke after the shooting. In a press release put out last November, Cooke said it was because of the information he had available to him shortly after the shooting that he did not remove any of the involved officers from active duty. The superintendent said he was pleased with the outcome of the VPD investigation and that its findings were “consistent with the evidence of what took place that night.” Cooke took the stand Thursday afternoon to explain why he reinstated Davidson and what information he used to make that decision.Two weeks ago, the Office of the Police Complaints Commission rendered its verdict, and also cleared Davidson of any criminal wrongdoing, saying his actions were necessary when Wright advanced toward him with a knife. The OPCC did say that it is willing to re-examine the case if new findings come out of the recommendations from this coroner’s inquest. There is also a civil case pending by the familly. VPD Sgt. Brad Fawcett testified about an officer’s ability to recall details under varying
degrees of stress. Best recall of events is 72 hours after a traumatic incident, he explained.A person’s recollection of events immediately afterward is usually full of errors as the memories come back in patches and the brain tries to piece information back together in a linear way. Davidson spoke out, saying he shares the public’s frustration about how police shootings are handled, complaining that there aren’t enough officers dedicated to ensuring incident reports are done. He also believes that officers involved in a shooting should be off the road for 90 days. He was put back to work in two weeks. “Does that sound fair,” said an emotional Davidson about staying off work for 90 days.“I feel strongly about this.” Responding to a 911 call, Davidson was among four officers who arrived at the Langley City townhome where a then 21-year-old and intoxicated Heather Hannon had been thrown out by Alvin. She wanted police to kick him out while she collected her belongings so that she could move to her mom’s, Davidson
testified.The four police officers’ testimony about why she called 911 differed from Hannon’s testimony. She claimed she only wanted them to help get some items out of the house. She also claimed not to remember why she and Wright fought, but said it wasn’t a big deal, nor was it physical. All the officers testified that she told them she had been physically pushed out of the residence. Davidson, along with another officer, Const. Patti Ramsay, went upstairs to the master bedroom to talk with Wright, who they understood to be passed out. Davidson told the jury that Ramsay announced herself as a police officer at the bedroom door, threatening to “kick it open” after she was unable to open it on her first try. She believed incorrectly that it was barricaded shut. This version of events is different than testimony given by Ramsay, who said she didn’t announce herself as police and couldn’t recall if Davidson did either. Davidson testified Wednesday that he opened the door, turned on the lights
to the small bedroom, announced himself as a police officer and saw someone’s head in the closet and something metallic, like a knife. Wanting to give himself distance from the man inside the closet he pushed at, and then kicked, the bi-fold door. It fell off its hinges, revealing Wright, who was crouched holding a hatchet in one hand and a hunting knife in the other, Davidson testified. With no room to move, Davidson pleaded with Wright to put the weapons down, while drawing his own gun. While the hatchet was dropped on the ground, the knife stayed in Wright’s hand, in a low position.When Wright advanced towards Davidson, the senior officer fired one shot to his midsection. Wright’s dying words were,“I wasn’t going to stab you, dude,” said Davidson. It was the first time Davidson had ever fired his gun, he said. He testified he had no choice but to shoot. “All of my training is screaming at me,‘You better be ready for this. We are in a lethal force situation at that point.” Replying to a question continued, PAGE 13

Mike de Jong. Now Clark is van Dongen’s target, with Cummins standing beside him trying to look statesmanlike. Of course van Dongen drove himself out of cabinet long before Clark returned. Chronic speeding by a public safety minister is a tough sell. I asked Cummins about the reluctance of key cabinet ministers Kevin Falcon and George Abbott to confirm they are running again. His aw-shucks friendly-grandpa modesty precludes speculation, but he did allow it’s “maybe a comment on the state of affairs in the Liberal caucus.” Reporters started surveying government MLAs after Falcon and Abbott kept their options open for 2013. For the record, fellow ministers Terry Lake, Shirley Bond, Pat Bell, Mary Polak, Rich Coleman and Stephanie Cadieux all said they are firmly on Clark’s election team. Independent-minded backbenchers Bill Bennett and Kevin Krueger also saluted the B.C. Liberal banner. Randy Hawes allowed that he’s 65, so if he leaves it will be for the golf course. As I was talking with Cummins, B.C. Conservative advisor Randy White was assuring the Abbotsford News that more defections are coming. Cummins has people for the dirty work.

Rose of Sharon originally purchased their new property at 24746 Fraser Hwy. in 1996 as a larger site to move to in the future. Some Township councillors expressed concerns with traffic congestion that may heighten with use of that property. Councillor Charlie Fox said the traffic backlog that occurs at the intersection of 248 Street and Fraser Highway is already an issue, and careful planning of entrances and exits to the new church must be made. “I’m very concerned about traffic control.We all know that the corner of 248 Street and Fraser Highway has a significant bottleneck many, many times during any given day. And this will now likely continue to make this problem worse, even on Sunday,” he said. Councillor Grant Ward disagreed, saying the plan already in place works well and that a right turn in and a right turn out on Fraser Highway will be fine. “I don’t think we should muddle along at this stage I think we should just get on with it,” he said.“We will meet the challenge if and when it comes along.”

Sightings keep family hopeful The family of Tigger the serval cat are not giving up hope and are giving a reward for finding their exotic pet, after sightings of him last weekend. It is almost two weeks since Tigger, the African serval cat, got out of his home in Langley during a hail and thunderstorm. His owner Kelly Allen believes he is roaming the Federal Naval Base in Aldergrove. He has been seen going into the forested area at Robertson Crescent and 256 Street at 3 p.m. last Saturday (March 24). “He is part of our family and it is like losing a child,” said Allen. He is not a danger to the public and was handraised since six weeks old and is declawed. Tigger was wearing a bright orange sapphire crystal collar with a petsmart pink heart tag with his name on it.

They should not to try to shoot a hand, or shoulder because the aim required is too much to ask of someone with that much adrenalin. “It’s not like what you see on TV,” Fawcett explained. “The consequence of aiming at a hand or leg is too small a target and can result in missing and hitting someone else by accident.We shoot to stop the threat, not shoot to kill.”

Weekend fires ruled accidental electrical and there was minimum damage. On Saturday, a construction crew put out a fire that was set by accident by a roofer’s torch at a construction site of an apartment complex at 20211 66 Avenue. The crew managed to douse the flames before firefighters got there. Damage was only $2,000.
there is around $200,000 damage to the home and $70,000 loss of contents to smoke and water inside. There is nothing suspicious about the fire, said assistant fire chief Bruce Ferguson. While out to that call, firefighters were called to a garage fire in the 24200 block of 46A Avenue. The cause was
Township firefighters went out to three structure fires over the weekend. On Friday, around 5:20 p.m., they were called to a house fire at 7182 199A Crescent where a cigarette or some kind of smoking material caught the outside of the house on fire. Firefighters were able to put out the blaze but

Many people
go through life without ever feeling truly passionate about something. Goals and purpose can provide you with the passion you need and a reason to get up and on with each new day. Here are five steps to help you start setting your own goals. 1. Brainstorm Before you choose a single goal to set and focus on, use a blank sheet of paper to write down as quickly as possible all the things you want in a number of categories, such as: family, career, educational, financial, physical, spiritual, social, etc. Once you have created a list, prioritize each of the items on your list. This will allow you to begin immediately focusing on the potential goals that are most important to you. It is also important to have both long- and short-term goals. 2. Make sure the goals you set are truly your own The purpose of setting goals is to focus and plan for what you want in your life, not to impress others. Most people don’t really know what they want and so they spend countless hours talking about what they don’t want, which is something that’s not really helpful in the long run. Spend some time each day thinking and talking about what you do want and soon your goals will start to take shape. 3. Set only positive goals for yourself Because you want to be growing towards something, write down each of your goals in a positive statement rather than a negative one. For example: “I will save to buy a home” is a positive goal, while “I will not spend money” is a nega-
tive goal. By focusing on the positive, you’ll be so intent on working towards what you want that you won’t feel deprived about the unnecessary things you’ve stopped spending money on. Using positive language also attracts positive situations and people into your life. 4. Set a deadline for achieving each of your goals A goal is not a goal until you set a date for it. We have too many things to do in our lives; that’s why so often only those with deadlines get accomplished. Oil billionaire H.L. Hunt said, “Success requires two things. You must know what you want and you must determine the price you are willing to pay to get it.” Most goals require some sort of sacrifice, whether it is that we spend less time with family and friends in order to further our career, or that we dedicate all of our financial resources to obtaining a university degree instead of travelling or buying an awesome new car. Once we know what we are willing to sacrifice, the only thing left is to put our whole heart and soul into achieving the goal we have set to make sure we get the most out of the choice we have made. 5. Don’t try to go it alone; gather assistance It is important to identify the knowledge you will need to acquire and the people or organizations that could give you essential help as you work towards your goals. No one is successful without the help of others, so don’t be afraid to ask for help or advice from those who can be of assistance. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to repay the favour by helping others achieve their goals.

Please join us to learn more about what TransLink’s plans are for our region, gain some insight into how TransLink is governed and the limitations of the various authorities concerning funding sources. April is also time for the Board of Directors Nominations Committee to begin the process to seek candidates for election to form the 2012/13 Board of Directors.

As Langley is also active in the BC and Canadian Chambers, I have seen first hand the true power of the Chamber network and I am proud of what we have accomplished at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. Through this involvement I have gained more knowledge and insight into challenges other small business operators face. Through meetings and committee work with our peers in other Chambers I have met many interesting business people locally and from across the country, many of whom I now regard as friends. It has been with great pride that I have had the privilege of representing my community at various forums.

The Future of Business – Pay Attention By Owen Greaves, CEO/Founder of Owen Greaves Consulting
T
he future of business is really quite simple, pay attention. I’ve been writing and talking about this secret sauce for a few years now, and it seems that most businesses are missing the point. We will spend thousands, no, millions on traditional advertising, because there is a perception that it works. It some cases it still does, but the world has gone into a state of flux, it’s not paying attention to traditional ways of advertising like it used to. Today, you have to pay attention, but not in the way you think. For years, OK the last 300 years it seems, we could merely hang a shingle, yell from a soap box, run an ad on Radio or Newspaper, and get the kind of attention we wanted. That’s true, but something has changed hasn’t it? We are no longer within ear shot of those types of ads anymore, we’ve been driven indoors by technology, we don’t get out much like we used to. Social Networks have become the new place to hangout, it’s where everyone is
spending their time, their money, and it’s where they share almost everything their lives. The new advertising model is sharing, and we don’t have to pay for it! So how does one get found, get the attention one needs to generate revenue, or a living. It’s simple, you have to pay attention. You have to pay attention to what is being shared, what is being said. There’s only one way to do this, grow bigger ears! Learn how to listen, pay attention and look for the buying signals. It’s what we do in traditional sales, why are you looking for something different? The process is the same; it’s the tools that have changed. Because the tools have changed, the world is suddenly confused, and isn’t sure what to do. Money is being left on the table because most have yet to learn the new tools, haven’t taken the time to use them, and or taken the time to harness the power of growing bigger ears. Many business owners still haven’t bought into the power of listening in Social Networks, there is a huge misunderstanding
of what’s happening in these networks. But if you pay attention long enough, and are looking for the right signals (keywords), you can add thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to your bottom line. So far, it hasn’t happened, at least not in my area, the world is still waiting for something, waiting for something to happen so business owners don’t have to do anything. They are looking for the next radio & Television, the next newspaper, well‌.. it’s not coming, you will have to do something to find the fore mention dollars that are waiting for you.

I shared an example of what I mean a couple blog post’s ago, the example is me, with 20 thousand in hand, no one was paying attention to me as I shared on social networks. I shared what I was looking for, I am doing improvements to my home, bought a new fridge, and I’m still not done‌ but no one, not one business was listening, so they missed out on making that money. In fact, 5 other people in my circle of friends are doing the same thing, imagine, 100k at your finger tips and you missed it, you weren’t paying attention.

DID YOU KNOW...? Langley RCMP - Connected with our Community ‌Arsonists often use recycling materials left in close proximity to businesses and dumpsters as a starting agent or tinder for fires. In order to alleviate the chances of someone using your recycling to cause unnecessary and potentially extensive damage to your business or property adjacent, there are some simple tasks you can perform. Maintain the area around your dumpsters. Stack your papers neatly; even consider tying them in bundles to impede the fire starter’s efforts. If the area is tidy, it will be less attractive to a potential arsonist. Quickly dispose of articles such as pallets, cardboard, and paper products, remember the larger the pile the greater for potential fire growth. Where feasible, keep your dumpster behind locked gates, in a well lighted area or consider discussing the possibility of locking your dumpster with your service provider. When storing these materials, consider what exposures exist if it is set ablaze, ie. Are there building overhangs, wooden siding or other structures that could be destroyed? Lastly, assist in keeping first responders safe by disposing of items such as propane tanks, fluorescent lighting, paints & thinners to the appropriate recycling agency.
If you witness a crime or see something suspicious, please call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. Should you NEED to remain anonymous, please call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)

Offering a warm welcome In Langley since October, ISS B.C. works with other local agencies to offer settlement services for new arrivals to Canada BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
S
tarting a new life in a new country can be a scary prospect — particularly when that move involves learning a new language and many strange new customs. Beyond the communication barrier there are a number of serious challenges that newcomers to Canada face — not least among them, how to find employment and build a fulfilling new life. “We take for granted what (immigrants and refugees) go through,” said Bob Gabriel, Langley service area manager with Immigrant Services Society of B.C. “What frame of mind are they in when they get here? That will depend on what they’ve been through,” he said. “There are mixed emotions, a myriad — fear, or elated. They don’t have to look over their shoulder anymore. “They’re starting from square one. “Taking all that into consideration, how do you help these people?” Gabriel said. ISS, a provincially funded agency which opened its doors in Langley last October, is set up to help new residents settle in to the community, find work and perhaps even make a few new friends along the way. The Langley office, located on Logan Avenue, employs nine people — most of whom are counselors who also immigrated to Canada — helped out by a number of volunteers. Gabriel, who arrived in B.C. from Grenada in 1979, understands the hopes and fears that his clients experience. “I identify with exactly what they are going through. I was very fortunate that English was my first language, otherwise, I don’t know,” he said with a laugh. But unlike Gabriel, who had a career as a banker on the Caribbean island, many ISS clients have come to Canada after fleeing terrible circumstances and with limited skills. Although the agency has only

been in Langley for the past six months, it can trace its roots back to Vancouver in 1972, when it was formed to help Ugandan refugees in B.C. who had fled the military dictatorship of Idi Amin. From there, ISS began providing services to refugees and immigrants in the Tri Cities, Burnaby, Richmond and Surrey. In Langley, staff work in collaboration with several other agencies, including the board of education, Langley Community Services Society and New Directions, which teaches English as a second language. “It’s collaborative, co-operative and collective. I stress that because we cannot provide all services, so it makes sense to work together,” Gabriel said. “Wherever the need is, if we cannot provide (the solution) we’ll refer clients, make appointments . . . we may go with them to translate and explain.” Karenic, Spanish, Chinese and Korean are among the languages most commonly spoken by newcomers to Langley, although
“We want to get people feeling like Canada is a welcoming country.” Bob Gabriel ISS Langley Service Area Manager noted that many of the most recent immigrants to the Lower Mainland are coming from Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. Among the staff and volunteers at ISS in B.C. more than 80 languages are spoken in the process of serving 23,000 clients each year in the province. “We serve one client at a time. It’s not a small job,” said Gabriel. So it’s important to come at it in a methodical way, he noted. ISS employs a “guided pathway” case
management system — similar to triage in a hospital— taking on the most pressing issues, such as food and shelter, first. Once they’ve settled in, for many of the people Gabriel and his staff work with, finding a job is among the top priorities. ISS receives its funding through the province’s ministry of jobs, tourism and industry because one of their main objectives is to help newcomers find employment — most often in farming, production, manufacturing and line work. “It’s areas where you don’t need high academic qualifications, you just have to understand and follow instructions,” Gabriel said. Most often, Gabriel and his staff are working with people who have been in Canada less than five years, so they begin by explaining what a resumé is and how to create one as well as how to do a job search and prepare for an interview. They also outline Canadian labour laws to help ensure their clients not taken advantage of by unscrupulous employers.
Beyond shelter and employment, ISS encourages and helps clients to get out into the community. Through their Community Connections program, they match newcomers with families who are well established, to help them settle in — whether that means accompanying them to the dentist or help them shop, taking them out to community events or teaching them how to use public transit. The message of Community Connections is that they are welcome here, but it is a twoway street and one day they will be called on to help, Gabriel explained. “When you get established, that’s what we want you to be like, too,” he said. “We want to get people feeling like Canada is a welcoming country.” Immigrant Services Society of B.C.’s Langley office is located at #204 20621 Logan Ave. For more information, go to issbc.org or call 604-510-5136.

TWU presents eclectic mix of music + prose
Submitted photo
British rockers The Yardbirds — featuring founding members Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty— are coming to Langley’s Cascades Casino on Saturday, April 14.
The British are coming The Yardbirds will land in Langley on Saturday, April 14 with a show at the Summit Theatre inside Cascades Casino. The legendary band that graduated three of the great names of rock guitar — Eric Clapton, Jeff
Beck and Jimmy Page — returns with two founding members — Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty. Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $52.50. Call 604-5302211 or go to www.ticketweb.ca .
In an intimate evening presented by TWU’s School of the Arts, Media and Culture, performances by a guitar quartet and piano trio are interspersed with readings of narrative nonfiction penned by writers from SAMC’s Media + Communication Department. Chamber Music + Vignettes will be an eclectic evening of story through music and prose. Musical highlights include the guitar ensemble’s contemporary favourites by artists like Muse and Mumford & Sons, and Glinka’s Trio Pathétique in D Minor performed by piano, clarinet, and bassoon. Rounding out the evening’s entertainment, a selection of narrative readings will touch on a range of themes; from a young boy’s solo excursion with a BB gun, to a young woman’s awareness of the ultimate femininity. It is the first time that narration is being incorporated into TWU’s popular Chamber Music concert. Loranne Brown, MFA, who teaches narrative nonfiction and other professional writing courses at the School of the Arts, Media and Culture, says this collaborative venture “is very much in the spirit of SAMC.” “During SAMC’s first Vignettes event our emerging writers partnered with talented photographers,” said Brown. “This year, musical vignettes will be juxtaposed with narrative nonfiction. “Often, we come to understand ourselves best when we collide with a different culture, different expectations, and arrive at a greater appreciation for our origins. “It’s a unique privilege to showcase the written word alongside stimulating pieces of music, for a well-rounded artistic experience.” Performance begins at 7:30 p.m. on April 4 in TWU’s Instrumental Music Hall. Admission by donation. Presented as part of the university’s third annual Festival of the Arts, Media and Culture, Chamber Music + Vignettes is the first in a series of spring concerts that will include the ever popular jazz night as well as performances in Langley and Abbotsford by SAMC’s Choirs, Orchestra, Concert Band.

Talons soar to atom Cup title GARY AHUJA Times Sports
Gary AHUJA/Langley Times
Langley Talons’ Liam Hansen (left) celebrates Tiger Williams-style with teammate Kevin Wade after scoring with one minute left to give his team a 5-4 lead in the finals of the Langley Atom Cup on Sunday at the George Preston Recreation Centre. Hansen had a goal and three assists as the Talons beat the King Cobras 6-4.
With 60 seconds remaining in regulation time and the score tied at four, Liam Hansen turned to his go-tomove. Streaking in on the goaltender, Hansen faked fore-hand and went to the back-hand, slipping the puck into the net for what turned out to be the winning goal. Teammate A.J.Austin added an empty-net goal — his second of the game — and the Langley (LY8) Talons defeated the Langley (LY4) King Cobras 6-4 in the Langley Atom Cup championship game on Sunday morning at the George Preston Recreation Centre. “I did (that move) yesterday, too,” Hansen said following the game. “It is amazing to win the Cup, the best feeling of my life,” he added, saying it was the biggest goal he had ever scored. Of course, he is just 10 years old with plenty of hockey ahead of him. Hansen also finished with three assists. Mitchell Macleod and Matthew Kaita, with a pair, helped the Talons to a 4-2 first period lead. Liam McNeil and Patrick Hrkac scored for the King Cobras in the
opening frame and then Cole Svendson struck for a pair in the middle period. The Talons were seeded third for the eight-team week-long Cup tournament. They won their opener, 6-0 over LY5, and then needed overtime to win 2-1 over LY6.With a spot in the final on the line, the Talons edged the King Cobras 2-1 to move on. The tournament is a double knockout format, and the King Cobras took advantage of their second chance, beating LY3 for another shot at the Talons. “Heart, it is all about heart,” said Talons coach Andrew Russell. “They are a hard-working bunch who never gives up.” “This means tons,” he added. “It was our goal to win from day one, we wanted to win the Langley Cup. “We underestimated what it was worth to the kids last year.” What makes the victory even more impressive was that the Talons lost one of their top players in the second game. But Russell said the rest of the team just stepped up. The Cup win caps off a great season for the team as it was their third tournament victory, while also finishing twice once and third another time. The Talons also won the PCAHA Fraser Valley West banner and were tied for the atom division banner in points.
Wolstenholme shuts the door for Winterhawks GARY AHUJA Times Sports
With goaltender Aric Wolstenholme in net, one goal is usually enough. And sure enough, that was the case on Sunday morning at the George Preston Recreation Centre. Wolstenholme stopped every shot he faced and Trevor Alcos’ first period goal stood up as the winner as the Langley (LY2) Winterhawks defeated the Langley (LY8) Jets 1-0 in the Langley Peewee Cup final. It was the second straight goose egg for Wolstenholme — the Winterhawks only goalie — over the Jets and he allowed just three goals over the four games. “He is a clutch kid,” said coach Larry Spady. “He is technically sound and they never got anything cheap on him.” The Winterhawks were the second seed heading into the nineteam tournament, which began the previous Sunday. They beat LY7 7-2 in the opening round and LY6 5-1.
With the winner getting a spot straight into the finals — and the loser getting one more crack to advance to the final in the double knockout format — the Winterhawks beat the Jets 3-0. The Jets beat LY9 to earn another shot at the Cup. “We really wanted this a lot,” said Winterhawks captain Dominic Forman. “Coming into this tournament, we were probably the team to beat, so the pressure was on us.” The captain did admit to some nervous time with his team nursing that one goal lead in the late stages. The Winterhawks finished the season with an overall record of 28-7-1. Included in that was a victory at a North Shore Winter Club tournament Langley defeated a previously unbeaten Juan de Fuca team. “No highs, no lows, we were pretty even all season long,” Spady said. “At times, we got away from what we wanted to do (but) we had a very successful season.”
Gary AHUJA/Langley Times
Langley Winterhawks goaltender Aric Wolstenholme came up with a huge save in the final minute against Langley Jets’ Yunjae Boo to preserve a 1-0 victory in the finals of the Langley peewee Cup at the George Preston Recreation Centre.

time,” Brett Abercrombie said. That was all the scoring until five minutes remained in regulation when Eric Johnston put the Ones ahead 2-1. Suidy added his second goal with 1:39 to go and that proved to be huge as Connor scored his second of the game with 28 seconds remaining. The Ones were the second seed at the nineteam double knockout tournament. They beat LY3 2-0 and then got their offence on track, scoring seven goals apiece in the next two games, 7-4 over LY8 and 7-1 over LY6. Williams said the team was capable of playing either the high-scoring or the tight games, whichever was needed on that particular day. The Ice won 2-0 over LY2 in the first game, but lost 4-3 to LY6 in the second contest. On the relegation side where another loss would have knocked them out, the Ice stayed alive to win a pair of elimination games.

They may not have been the favourite going in, but the Langley (LY8) Ice Dawgz left as the Cup champions. “We were fifth going in, but top dogs going out,” said coach Steve Pitt. His Ice Dawgz team defeated the Langley (LY7) Beast 3-0 in the finals of the Langley Bantam Cup on Sunday at the George Preston Recreation Centre. Aidan Robertson opened the scoring and Jon Price added two goals and an assist. “It is amazing to win, especially with some of my friends on the other side,” said Robertson, adding that this would give him bragging rights over the summer. “I knew we had the ability to win the Cup if we wanted,” Pitt said. “It was whether the
guys would step up to the plate.” “We stuck with the game plan. “These boys are fast and strong and they played some good, responsible hockey.” For Pitt and some of the team members, including his son Brandon, this was their third Cup win in the past four years as they also won back-to-back Langley Peewee Cups in 2009
lost to a broken finger in the second period of the championship game. This was the team’s third tournament victory as they also took top spot at an event in Surrey back in December and then the week before the Langley Cup in Chilliwack. Altogether, they closed the season on an 11-game winning streak.

Nine local soccer players are on the provincial soccer team radar for their various age groups. The group — six males and three females — were announced as part of BC Soccer’s phase one of their high performance development programming. Goalkeeper Sebastion Colyn has been selected to the U13 squad, while a pair of defenders, Erick Chmelyk and John Kasper, are part of the U14 program. The U15 team features midfielder Nestor Valencia, while the U16 team has midfielder Connor Hildebrant and defender Vaggeli Boucas. The girls teams’ include goalkeepers Alyssa Smith and Ashleah McDonald on the U14 and U15 teams, respectively, and midfielder Isabella Boccia on the U14 squad. This first phase of the provincial teams program is one of four phases of high performance programming.
It will see the players entering additional training phases and traveling within the Pacific Northwest as preparation for both the U13 and U14 regional competition in Winnipeg and the U15 and U16 national competition in Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia in July. “This transition into a new era of programming provides a number of benefits for the players, coaches and the overall development structure within BC Soccer,” said Michael Findlay, the director of soccer development and head coach of the U16 boys provincial team program. As part of the overall development strategy Vancouver Whitecaps FC will be using the BC Soccer Provincial Teams Program development phases as additional opportunities to evaluate and assess players within the training and match environments during this time for potential selection into the Vancouver Whitecaps
FC Residency and the Girls Elite Program. “In addition to the presence of our partner Vancouver Whitecaps FC, it also includes the opportunity to select a different group of players within each phase, a significant reduction in fees, the inclusion of a number of EA Sports B.C. Soccer Premier League coaches within the coaching staff and ultimately it continues to provide a responsible staircase approach to the development of players within British Columbia. The program provides a framework for players who aspire to play with the male and female Canadian national teams and with the men’s and women’s programs of our professional partners Vancouver Whitecaps FC,” said Findlay. They commence their training schedule on April 3 and go until April 11. The next phase of training program begins on May 22.

ANDERSON, Denny
DARVILL, Leonard George
April 28, 1950 - March 27, 2012
Denny went home to be with the Lord after a year long battle with brain cancer. His last year has been spent enjoying family, friends and life to the very fullest. He will be forever missed by his loving wife Wendy, son Mikal and daughter in law Leana. There will be a great void in the lives of his extended family of six brothers in law, five sisters in law and many nieces and nephews. A brother Dave in Calgary. Denny was well known in the trucking industry, he travelled all over North America and in recent years spent much time in BC and Alberta; the highway was his second love. Everyone is welcome to come and join us for a celebration of his life on Saturday April 7th, 2012. Service to be held at Sunrise Golf Course at 5640 - 188 St. (corner of 188th St & #10 Hwy) at 1:00pm.
OBITUARIES
Better known to those who loved him most as Len, Dad, Gramps, and Uncle Len passed away peacefully on March 18th, 2012. Born in Brandon Manitoba on May 21st, 1931 Len worked the better part of his life for Canadian Pacific Transportation. In 1965 he moved his family to the coast and settled in Vancouver. Predeceased by his wife Fay (July 1998) Len is survived by his daughter Kathy, his son Don, grandsons Peter and Steve (Kathleen) and great grand daughter Jillian. A devoted family man, Len was one of those guys that everyone took an instant liking to. He enjoyed a good hockey game and had a life long love of the game of cribbage actively competing in two different leagues. For the past decade Len traveled back to his home town of Brandon to spend the summer with his sister Joan and her husband, his best friend Murray. It was a trip he looked forward to making every year. He will be sadly missed by his entire family and his friends. A quiet man in life, his actions spoke volumes. His kindness and generosity were his trademark and for that he will never be forgotten.
