‘Perfect dad’ lost in farm tragedy Victims’ families last to testify at mushroom farm inquest MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Sheridan Trowell, Isabelle Manning, Taya Velikajne, Kurtis Trowell and Anthony Velikajne hung out at City Park on Tuesday afternoon. The three girls, all 12, spoke to City Council on Monday, May 14 to urge them to broaden a cosmetic pesticide ban bylaw to include City-owned lands as well as private property. The City no longer uses cosmetic pesticides in parks or on playing fields but spraying still occurs along streets, sidewalks and boulevards.

City expands pesticide ban Bylaw will prohibit use of cosmetic pesticides on both City-owned and private land BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

When Taya Velikajne goes outside to play, the 12-year-old Langley City girl sometimes worries about what might be lurking in the weeds. It’s not insects or animals that cause her concern on sunny spring and summer days, but potentially toxic chemicals. On Monday night Taya, supported by her friends, Isabelle Manning and Sheridan Trowell, both 12, told City council that her doctor strongly suspects that the cosmetic pesticides used to control weeds along the City’s streets, sidewalks and boulevards are responsible for the rashes that periodically appear on her body. “We can’t say for sure, because of course my parents wouldn’t purposely expose me to pesticides,” said Taya, who told council

Standing in front of a swarm of media, 16-year-old Tracey Phan spoke eloquently about her father Michael Phan who is now living out his days in a care home, unable to walk, talk or respond after he was permanently injured by toxic gas in a pump shed at A-1 Mushroom farm in 2008. The tragedy killed three workers. “My dad was a hero, and he watched Spider-Man . . . Superman . . . heroes don’t get into such serious injuries when someone they love can lose them,” said Phan, after the the Coroner’s Inquest wrapped up on Tuesday afternoon. Phan was one of three family members who testified. The family members were the last to testify in the inquest. It will now be up to a jury to come back with recommendations that could prevent a similar tragedy from happening again. They began their deliberations on Wednesday morning. When a pipe was unclogged in a shed used to mix gypsum, chicken manure and water, it released noxious fumes that killed farmworkers Ut Tran, 35, Han Pham, 47, and Chi Wai Jimmy Chan. The discharge of toxic fumes permanently injured Tchen Phan and Michael Phan. Tracey said her dad was the bread winner and the “perfect dad, coming out of a TV show . . . he was a soccer mom coming out to all my games and my track and field to cheer me on.” continued, PAGE 4

New school agreement signed NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Willoughby’s burgeoning population has resulted in overcrowded schools, leaving hundreds of students to learn in portable classrooms. The opening of Lynn Fripps Elementary at 21020 83 Ave. in September will go a long way to easing that congestion, and now a new school on the northeast corner of 77A Avenue and 209 Street will go even further. On Friday, Education Minister George Abbott and Langley Board of Education chairman Wendy Johnson signed an agreement for the new school which, at $13.8 million, is a little costlier than the $13.3 million Fripps elementary. However, land acquisition for the Yorkson school will push the total to more than $20 million. The agreement was signed in the middle of a field, as the buzz of development could be heard at a condo development across the street on 77A Avenue. Using as much B.C. wood as possible and adhering to LEED Gold environmental standards, the new school will accommodate up to 510 students from Kindergarten to Grade 7. As well, community programs will be offered at an on-site Neighbourhood Learning Centre (NLC). With the project agreement now in place, the board of education will tender the construction of the school, with ground breaking anticipated for this summer. It is scheduled to open in September, 2013. Lynn Fripps Elementary, according to the ministry, is now midway through construction and is on budget and on time. The school is scheduled to open in September

Tall Timbers is a 1980s subdivision nestled among towering evergreens, at the southwest corner of 240 Street and 56 Avenue. Another coniferous tree would likely blend in unnoticed among the forested patches, but for many residents in and around Tall Timbers one particular tree will be an ugly eyesore. That’s because it’s not real. And if Industry Canada ignores Township council and residents, B.C.’s first “monofir” cell phone tower will be erected in the Tall Timbers community.

HANSEN RELAY SATURDAY

Natasha JONES/Langley Times

Education Minister George Abbott and Langley Board of Education chair Wendy Johnson signed an agreement for a new Willoughby elementary school on Friday, in the middle of a field on 77A Avenue. for up to 510 Kindergarten to Grade 7 students. Planning for a new middle school in the Yorkson area is also under way, with opening day anticipated for September, 2014. Friday’s ceremony was attended by Langley MLA Mary Polak, who commented: “As a resident of Willoughby, I look forward to the local programs and services that will be available at these schools. Schools are a key part of our children’s lives and these Neighbourhood Learning Centres will be integral to our community as well.” Johnson, who was accompanied by vice-

chairman Rob McFarlane, acting superintendent Suzanne Hoffman and secretarytreasurer David Green, remarked that the agreement demonstrates that the district is “making important progress in addressing the needs of families in the fast growing Willoughby area.” She added, “We remain committed to working closely with our local and provincial governments to ensure we are proactive in planning for the future in this high growth region.” The Langley School District is one of the few in the province where K-7 student enrolment is growing.

‘Faux tree’ unpopular in Tall Timbers area NATASHA JONES

conceal its antennae. “They do look good when they are done right,” Cascadia president Morrie Finn told a public hearing on Monday. He said that the faux trees are extensively used in the U.S., while Ontario has 10. The one his company proposes to erect in Tall Timbers is for Wind Mobile “and would be visible from very few homes.” The artificial tree towers “are community friendly,” he said. Most residents disagreed. “It’s unsuitable to have a fake evergreen among the beautiful forested area that we have,” said 58 Avenue resident Angela Gedye. Local residents had support from those who live miles away. “This area is very beautiful, scenic and habitat rich,” said Northwest Langley resi-

dent Petrina Arnason. “A cell phone tower here would not be suitable.” Tall Timbers resident Lynn Frisby told council that Rogers, Bell and Telus are not interested in the Cascades tower. Township policy encourages multi-use towers. Her neighbourhood, she said,“has been here for 32 years. We live in a stable neighbourhood (and) we do not want this tower.” Brian McFadden said that the faux tree would be a mere 13 metres from his house. “It’s outrageous,” he said, charging that the owner on whose property the tree is proposed stands to gain “a very lucrative financial package.” Council sided with the residents, agreeing to send the minutes of the hearing to Industry Canada with an accompanying letter expressing objection to the proposal.

Several events take place Saturday to mark the arrival of the 25th anniversary Rick Hansen Relay team. The Township is hosting events from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre before the relay comes through at 3 p.m. Family-oriented activities will promote awareness about accessibility. As the relay medal bearers make their way through the City streets, the festivities will have already begun at Douglas Park Spirit Square, 20550 Douglas Cres. From 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. there will be a barbeque and free live entertainment as residents welcome the medal bearers to the stage to listen to their stories before seeing them off on the next leg of their commemorative journey. “This is a significant milestone for Rick Hansen and the Foundation and the great work they do across the country on bringing awareness of spinal cord issues and research to all our communities,” said Mayor Peter Fassbender. The 25th anniversary Rick Hansen Relay is a re-creation of the original Man in Motion tour, travelling 12,000 kilometres from Cape Spear, Nfld. and concluding in Vancouver on May 22. The journey has engaged approximately 7,000 medal bearers, each of whom has made a difference in the lives of others, inspiring others to be positive contributors for a better world.

She said her dad played soccer back in Vietnam and continued to play when he wasn’t working on the farm. He loved karaoke too and the family would sing together. “Now he is pretty much a dead person stuck in a live body,” said Tracey. His care home is across the street from her school, so Tracey and her younger sister visit him daily. Her mother goes there twice each morning and every night. Going from being a straight A student, now she struggles in school and has a tutor because she can’t concentrate. She said the family scrapes by on the $2,200 they earn each month from Canada Pension and WorkSafe BC, among other government supports. Crying on the stand, Phan said this is their new life. “We can’t turn a new chapter. This is forever. This was preventable,” she said. Speaking through an interpreter Nga Trieu, widow of Han Pham, said she is worried about how she will care for her five children, one who is autistic. She is working as a hairdresser from home in Langley to try and make it. She testified that she is speaking out for all the mushroom workers who don’t speak English and fear their bosses. “I don’t want this to happen again. I know how much it hurts,” she said. Widow Hong Dang, whose husband Ut Tran was killed, said her father left her family at the same age her children lost their father. She worries her children won’t get the proper education because she is a struggling single mom. “I worry they might not end up with a good job and have to take a job like their dad,” said Dang. B.C.

Tracey Phan, 16, joined by her sister, Angela Phan, her mother, Phuong Le, and B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair, spoke to the media following a coroner’s inquest in Burnaby. Phan’s father was left in a vegetative state by an accident at a Langley mushroom farm in 2008. while on the stand. Sinclair said the owners of the mushroom farm in Langley “got it all wrong.” “With the owner’s own evidence, he did not do his job as required by law to protect his workers,” said Sinclair. This is a vulnerable workforce that feel they have no rights to speak about safety concerns, he said. In the last decade or so, 13 people in B.C. have died in confined spaces. Most of them were rushing in to help others. Tracey Phan’s mother said her husband was told by the mushroom farm supervisor to go in to the shed and help the three men who were already dead. “When workers attempted to raise issues at the farm, they were told if they don’t like it they can leave,” said Sinclair. But not speaking any English limits these workers’ job prospects, making them feel trapped. He recommended that it be mandatory that all farm workers get two days of safety training and a certificate, just as food workers have to get their Food

Safe certificate. Supervisors would be obligated to do more than two days. But enforcement and consequence are the keys to change, said Sinclair. There are 4,700 farms registered in B.C., but 19,000 according to StatsCan, he said. There are around 47 inspectors in the province. It would be impossible for all farms to be inspected yearly, and many workers don’t speak English, so inspectors need to speak the languages like Spanish, Tagalog, Punjabi and in this case, Vietnamese. He believes Crown is resistant to prosecute farm owners criminally. He said the courts fine the owners, they claim bankruptcy and not a dime is collected.They basically get away with it. “This sends a message to farm owners that there are many ways to get out of this,” said Sinclair. The owners of A-1 Mushroom were fined $300,000 in court but haven’t paid a penny of it and continue to operate a mushroom farm, but not the composting aspect.

Protesters rally against smart meters

Una St. Clair of Citizens for Safe Technology addresses the crowd outside the Langley Events Centre. She is flanked by Sharon Noble (right), the director the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters, and Jacqueline Little of Nanaimo.

NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Dozens of protesters gathered on 200 Street outside the Langley Events Centre at noon on Friday in a boisterous two-hour protest of B.C. Hydro’s smart meter program. Led by Una St. Clair of Citizens for Safe Technology, the protesters waved placards and banners. In a show of support, hundreds of drivers honked their horns and gave them the thumbs up. The protesters chose the location not only for its exposure on Langley’s busiest road, but also because the Langley Events Centre houses the constituency office of Rich Coleman, the MLA for Fort Langley-Aldergrove, and the Minister responsible for Energy and Mines. Coleman’s office was empty and locked, and midway through the two-hour protest, a man was seen tearing off an anti-smart meter notice that had been taped to the door. The modernization of BC Hydro’s metering system is intended to be safer, more reliable and cost effective than the current system, and reduce electricity theft. But opposition has been focused on the belief that the meters are hazardous to health, pollute homes and the outdoors with environmental poison. “Say no to poison in our own homes,” St. Clair called out through a bullhorn. Among the protesters was Chris Anderson of Saltspring Islanders for Safe Technology. He said that 20 people are canvassing 5,300 homes in the Gulf Islands community. “The intention is to have Saltspring Island opt out as a region and be a shining example for the rest of the province on what not to do. We see no benefit of Smart meters to the consumer. The only benefit is to Hydro,” Anderson said. Hydro anticipates that its conversion from manual meter reading to the new technology will be completed by 2012, but a growing number of residents are refusing to allow workers from Corix, hired by Hydro to replace analog meters, onto their properties. The issue of concern, opponents say, is that the meters radiate microwave frequency day and night. In a notice circulated to promote the rally, organizers said that Coleman “is completely ignoring all evidence of harm, including the World Health [Organization] ruling that radio frequency emissions are a possible cause of cancer.” “He is ignoring medical doctor’s letters requesting analogue meters for sick patients and most importantly he is trashing our democratic, civil, and human rights as enshrined in our Charter and Constitution.” Unlike cell phones, which expose only the head to non-ionizing radio-frequency radiation, smart meters expose the whole body to what a year ago the World Health Organization classified “as possibly carcinogenic to humans.” Last year, Township council agreed to ask the provincial and federal ministers of health to place a moratorium on the installation of smart meters until an independent assessment is carried out and wired alternative solutions are provided at no cost to consumers. The UBCM also supported the moratorium last September, but the provincial government has refused to shift its support of Hydro.

Latest Langley stabbing gang-related, say police

Police are saying the latest stabbing in Langley is gang related. A 37-year-old Langley/Abbotsford man with gang ties and well known to police was found in his pickup truck suffering from multiple stab wounds. His truck was parked at the Petro-Can gas station in the 7200 block of 200 Street early Thursday morning. Paramedics were on the scene around 5:50 a.m. The victim was airlifted to hospital where his injuries are deemed non-life threatening.

According to the Langley RCMP, the victim, who is known to police, left a social gathering and met someone around 10 p.m. and got into that person’s vehicle in the 20600 block of Eastleigh Crescent. A confrontation took place inside the vehicle and the man was stabbed once, said police. The driver of the car then took off. Last Friday, (May 4) a man was stabbed after a dispute with another man at a trailer park in Aldergrove. In that case, a man and woman were arrested.

“This is believed to be directly linked to gang activity and not a random act of violence. There appears to be no immediate threat to public safety,” said Sgt. Peter Thiessen of the Lower Mainland District RCMP. Langley Serious Crime Section continues to investigate. No arrests have been made at this time. This is the third stabbing in seven days in Langley. A 30-year-old Langley man is in serious condition in hospital after being stabbed in the stomach in Langley City on Saturday night.

Bypass closed after man jumps from pedestrian overpass The Langley Bypass was closed for more than an hour on Tuesday evening, after a man jumped from the pedestrian overpass at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. The man is expected to make a full recovery but he did break several bones from the fall, said

Langley RCMP. The man, whose age wasn’t known, jumped at around 8 p.m. He landed in a grassy area. Several drivers witnessed the scene and called 911. The man was airlifted to hospital where he remains.

Tough to put a price on public health, says City councillor from PAGE 1

Sheridan’s mother, Shawna Trowell — a volunteer on the City’s parks and environment committee — also addressed council, saying that cosmetic pesticide use has been a topic near to her heart for the past 11 years. While playing with a then one-year-old Sheridan, Trowell, who was pregnant at the time, rolled across her lawn onto a sidewalk where pesticides had recently been sprayed. After talking to then-mayor Marlene Grinnell, Trowell ended up ‘adopting’ the stretch of sidewalk in front of her house, taking on responsibility for controlling weed growth. “It appeased me for a while, but the more I read, the more concerned I became,” she said. While she applauded the City’s progress in terms of its weed management — cosmetic pesticides are no longer used in parks or on playing fields — there is always more that can be done, said Trowell. Environmentalist Rhys Griffiths, a member of the Langley Field Naturalists who participated in parks advisory meetings studying the use of pesticides, said he, too, has been pleased with efforts by the City

to employ an integrated pest management system (IPM). He suggested, however, that the municipality consider using alternative methods — including hot water/steam and vinegar/salt/soap solutions — to control weeds along sidewalks and boulevards. Christina Beck of the Canadian Cancer Society’s B.C. and Yukon Division reiterated many of the concerns she expressed on March 5, when the bylaw was first brought before council. More than 100 studies have linked synthetic pesticides to such serious health issues as liver, kidney and pancreatic cancers as well leukemia and lymphoma and neurological and reproductive problems, Beck told council. And all of these concerns are multiplied in the case of children, she said, because of their developing immune systems and propensity for putting things in their mouths. “Why would we expose our community to unnecessary risk?” Asked following the March 5 meeting to look into ways the bylaw could be strengthened, staff returned with an estimate that the additional cost to have two staff members working at non-chemical weed removal for

five months of the year would be in the range of $60,000 per year. Chemical spraying along streets, sidewalks and boulevards typically takes place once or twice each year, said Gary Vlieg, the City’s chief engineer, adding it is already too late for a non-pesticide management plan to be implemented this year. “I’d like to have a better feeling of what it would cost,” said Martin, who cast the lone ‘no’ vote at third reading of the amended bylaw. She pointed to communities such as Hamilton, Ont. which pays an additional $250,000 per year for non-chemical pest control and to Surrey, which she said spends $1 million. “It could be more (than $60,000 per year) it could be less,” said City CAO Francis Cheung. “This is a best estimate.There’s no way to quantify it,” said Mayor Peter Fassbender. “Why don’t we phone other places of our size who have done this and to find out what it cost,” suggested Councillor Jack Arnold. “To put a price on public health is a tough thing to do,” said Councillor Dave Hall. “I think the health of the community is worth an investment.”

You & The Law

PRESENTS

WHEN COULD A PAY CUT AMOUNT TO JOB DISMISSAL? In B.C., the relationship between you, as an employee, and your boss is basically one of contract, even though usually there’s no written employment contract. Typically, you’re hired for a position to perform certain duties, and in return, you get a certain level of compensation and benefits. Often the intent is for the employment to be permanent, meaning it’s for an indefinite term. But what happens if, perhaps due to a bad economy or for other reasons, your employer decides to cut your compensation? Must you live with that, or do you have other options? The question is often complicated by other factors. For example, there may also be a change in employment duties (which you might view as a demotion), or there may be bad blood between you and a new manager, etc. In such a case, the court will look at all the circumstances, sometimes called the “factual matrix,” and assess whether your employer has imposed (without reasonable notice to you) such a substantial change that it goes to the heart of the contractual relationship and amounts to a breach of a fundamental term of the contract. If so, and you don’t accept this fundamental breach of contract, you’re entitled to treat yourself as unjustly fired (or “constructively dismissed”) – and you’ll be entitled to financial compensation for your loss or damages. A 2009 case in the B.C. Supreme Court dealt with this issue, shedding light on when a pay cut may amount to a constructive dismissal. Ms. P sued a bank and its securities arm. She had 24 years experience in the financial services industry when she joined the bank at 43. Following a re-organization about a year later, she accepted a position at the bank’s securities arm as an investment adviser, where her compensation was partly

commission-based (including trailer fees). But her employment relationship there deteriorated over time. Ms. P found herself in conflict with a new manager at the securities arm, and she complained of inadequate trailer fee payments and other issues. After going on disability, she ultimately refused to return to work when her demands for returning were not met, claiming she had been constructively dismissed. Her employer eventually paid her $2,000 in overdue trailer fees, but she calculated it should have been $6,000. The B.C. Supreme Court decided on this point that any difference between her calculation of what she was owed and the bank’s calculation only came to about 4% of her total compensation (her earnings had averaged about $100,000 annually). That alone wasn’t enough to make it a fundamental breach or constructive dismissal. Neither did the other things Ms. P claimed as reasons to justify her constructive dismissal claim. The court referred to other cases and observed that, in general, a pay cut of more than 20% is ordinarily enough to allow an employee to treat himself or herself as fired and sue for constructive dismissal. But a pay cut of up to 9 or 10% isn’t usually enough on its own to be considered a fundamental breach. A pay cut of 14 to 17% might or might not be, depending on the particular factual matrix. If your pay package is reduced, you should be mindful that, while a pay cut is an important factor, it’s only one of many factors a court will look at in assessing whether there’s been a fundamental breach amounting to constructive dismissal. Seek legal advice if deciding how you should proceed.

THEY SAY

Return of the PST

Talk to the folks

he provincial government is bringing back the provincial sales tax (PST). It had no choice — it was told to do so by voters last summer in the HST referendum. The harmonized tax, and most specifically, the way it came about, was so reviled that a majority of voters were quite prepared to bring back the PST. This despite the fact that the PST is not nearly as efficient a tax, and does not come with the tax credits that the HST does. Voters weren’t even swayed by a provincial promise to reduce the HST to 10 per cent, which would be two per cent lower than the combined GST and PST. The provincial Liberal government had no one to blame but itself, although that hasn’t stopped it from blaming leaders of the Fight HST campaign, the media, rebellious citizens and the NDP. But it has now done what it had to do, and the new PST looks like it will be at least a little simpler for businesses to deal with. Payments can be made online and timelines will be more harmonized with the GST remittance schedule. While the government’s new PST bill does not specify what goods and services will be exempt from PST, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the exemptions will be similar to those under the old PST. The list of goods and services to be exempted will be published as a regulation, making it easier for the government to add and take away from the list of exempt items. While this naturally has raised some suspicions, as the Liberals’ record on the HST has been one of a long series of broken promises (remember the promise that the price of goods would come down because of the HST?), it will probably be more efficient. It will be up to the media, opposition politicians and the public to publicize PST exemptions and any changes to them. The entire HST exercise was beneficial in several respects. It showed that citizens have the power to put limits on governments that exceed their mandates. There was no promise of an HST in the 2009 election. Two months later, it was government policy. B.C. referendum law allowed citizens to overthrow this reversal in policy. The HST debacle caused one premier to leave office and may yet cause the defeat of the government. Future governments will be much more cautious in going against public will, and refusing to listen to reasonable concerns.

ack when Glen Clark was B.C.’s premier and Gordon Campbell was Opposition leader, a Vancouver newspaper gave them an on-the-spot quiz, testing their knowledge of the people and places in the B.C. Interior. Neither got a passing grade. How would current leaders do on a similar quiz? Adrian Dix did travel about during the NDP leadership race. Premier Christy Clark may know more about B.C. than she lets on, but instead of heading off to foreign climes to sell B.C. resources, she might take time to tour the province and meet people who live in the hinterlands. Although acknowledging B.C. won’t get many jobs from the Enbridge pipeline, Clark says the project will be good for Canada. Maybe she should visit people who live along the route. She might even go to Hartley Bay, where residents can tell her about the two marine “incidents” they have experienced, and why they fear tanker traffic. In the Peace River country, she could check out the water situation and talk to people who know the negative side of natural gas extraction (sour gas and the fracking process). She could look at the land that would be lost to the proposed Site C dam, and tour the turbines at the Peace Canyon generating station downstream from the Bennett Dam. The station is the primary source of hydroelectricity for all of B.C., but according to reports, the turbines are shut down because BC Hydro is obligated to buy power from some private providers instead of using its own. On the way home, she could visit the Nemiah Valley. Her concerns over the nation’s economics are valid, but she is not the prime minister of Canada (yet, anyway) and it’s time she put the interests of “ordinary” British Columbians somewhere nearer the top of her agenda. —Williams Lake Tribune (Black Press) The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

New school no help to Garnett families Editor: News announcing the construction of new schools is exciting. It means the beginning of a community, and a promise of a secure and stable place to learn. When R.C. Garnett Demonstration Elementary School opened in Willoughby in 2005, families expected this same promise. Now, several years later, our school is (and has been for five years) severely overcrowded. A school built for 350 children holds nearly 560. We have nine portables, a strained infrastructure, and alternating playground days for children because there simply is not enough room. In 2008, the Langley School District recommended to R.C. Garnett parents that the only way to alleviate this overcrowding would be for the community to rally together and lobby for a new school that could take some of the pressure off our strained facilities, and provide a school for all children who lived in the catchment. The R.C. Garnett community did just that. A letter writing campaign was launched. Media were engaged. And I met with the minister of education, expressing how dire the need was for another school in this area. Our parents met countless times with Langley School District staff and elected officials and were led to believe that we all were working together to craft a solution. Over these past few years, our R.C. Garnett community has been through a lot. Our parents raised nearly $50,000 for a playground. Parents have donated $40,000 to supply library books and classroom materials to meet the needs of the extra 200 children in our school. We buy sports equipment for the children to use when it is not their day on the playground. We have rallied together to make it work until the solution we had been promised would come to fruition. Last week in the news, another new ele-

R.C. Garnett Elementary has nine portables, but a new school announced on Friday is nowhere near it and will not relieve overcrowding. mentary school was announced to the tune of $19 million. It will be located in Southeast Yorkson — a neighbourhood that has not yet been developed. It is in close proximity to Willoughby Elementary and the only partlyfull Lynn Fripps Elementary, set to open in September. And R.C. Garnett? The solution that our school community has been provided is this: The school district is displacing children in Grades 6 and 7 from R.C. Garnett to the new Lynn Fripps school, two catchments away, and

we still have nine portables. Our infrastructure is still strained. Children still alternate days on the playground. There still aren’t enough books for the children. And new development is still coming. News announcing the construction of new schools is exciting. At R.C. Garnett, we had hoped that the news had meant the promise of a secure and stable place to learn. Lorraine Baldwin, PAC co-president, R.C. Garnett Demonstration Elementary

Common courtesy lacking with some drivers Editor: May I offer a tip for people who are in small fender-bender accidents? In late 2005, I had the privilege of buying a new car. I have owned this vehicle for six-and one-half years, and it has been hit (through no fault of mine) by six different people. All of those people have been defensive, hostile or just plain mean towards me when I tried to gather the necessary information to make an ICBC claim. One lady in particular, who actually hurt me very badly in 2007, was upset that I was delaying her from going to work because she was running late when she plowed into the back of my car. Less than a month ago, I experienced yet another fender-bender in the parking lot of

OUTSIDE THE BOX

WalMart in Langley. The driver of the offending vehicle was extremely defensive and just downright ugly. Where has common courtesy gone? Where is accountability? A simple “I’m sorry, I made a mistake” would go a long way. I ignored the behaviour of the individuals who didn’t want to be responsible for their actions, and underwent the process it takes to determine if I need or want to make a claim. I decided not to take into account the bad behaviour and let myself make a decision based on what I could live with and accept. Are we a society who feels that we are not responsible for our wrongdoings, or do we feel that we never do any wrong and anyone

who points it out is the one to blame? If you are in a fender-bender and it’s your fault, admit it. Take ownership. It shows intelligence because in life, everyone makes mistakes.

Editor: I would like to publicly thank and acknowledge Mr. Laurence Greeff and the Focus program at Langley Secondary School. My son’s father died suddenly a few years ago, and we were heartbroken and depressed. Because of financial reasons and my return to school, we moved a lot. At each school he entered, I went to staff and was open about our situation. We were promised help, but were then forgotten about. My son got more and more behind, and more and more depressed. I was very scared about his future and it looked bleak. His situation and outlook has changed drastically. It is solely because of the teachers in the Focus program. He will be a high school graduate, and feel worthy and capable in life, because Mr. Greeff cared about him and didn’t give up. And I would also like to note that they accomplished this, while dealing with all that has gone on this year. I hope everyone remembers that a lot of us were blessed by special teachers. Thank you to principal Dawne Tomlinson who supports this program. A. Heitsman, Langley

Opposing camps weigh in on church expansion Two conflicting elements emerged at a public hearing at Township council on Monday evening. One focused on the changes a large, busy church would bring to a quiet, rural street, and the other drew a contrast between the disruption to the lives of locals and the lives that have been changed, and even saved, by the church. The Seventh Day Adventist Church has applied to rezone 4.7 acres at 23589 Old Yale Rd., from Rural to Institutional, so that it can build a 59,630 square foot church for 900 worshippers. The church plans to provide 325 parking stalls and build sports courts, a games area and auditorium. Key to its plan is an area from which it will administer its Acts of Kindness program which has changed the lives of countless local residents. AOK volunteers renovate homes, provide free oil changes for single parents and serve hot breakfasts for children at Shortreed Elementary in Aldergrove. For surrounding residents, concerns are mounting. Karl Unger, who lives west of the property, told council of his concern that paving a large area of the church land would result in pooling and, because the area has a clay base,“the water will go down into my yard.” He noted that Old Yale Road is a very old street, narrow and full of potholes. There is no shoulder. “I don’t know how this road is going to support more traffic,” he said. The church stretches from Old Yale to Fraser

Highway, where access and egress would be restricted to right turns in and out. The supply of water, which residents draw from wells, is another concern. “Everyone has had to re-drill their wells because there isn’t enough water,” said Lisa Grover. Indirectly, the Township has benefited from the church’s AOK program, Aldergrove resident Walter Grochowski told council. In 2007, Grochowski’s young son died, and last year AOK volunteers repaired his house “and gave my family a new beginning,” he said. “I was able to pay off four years of back taxes that I would never have been able to pay off.” Church member Keith Tall told council: “Sometimes we have to look beyond our own interests for others’ needs. “The objective (of AOK) is not to win converts ... it’s done because it’s the right thing to do.” For Karen Weeks,AOK was a lifesaver.The church repaired her home from top to bottom, getting rid of mould that was killing her asthmatic daughter. Frequent hospitalization has ended since the house was repaired, she said. Her daughter can now freely sing and dance, and is helping renovate other houses through AOK. Pastor David Jameson explained how AOK began:“We felt the church needs to be involved in extreme generosity.” Ulla Vicktor of Site Line Architects advised council of the diverse land uses in the area. These include light manufacturing plants, auto and RV sales, and the Hilltop Café. Council will likely consider third reading of the rezoning bylaw at its June 11 meeting.

or many young riders, high school graduation signals the end of a promising riding career when, inevitably, the workload and cost of a university education takes priority over the demands of equestrian sport. Sarah Wright, 19, a dedicated rodeo rider, has found a way to ride and study. Her stellar performances at the National High School Rodeo finals two years in a row netted her a full rodeo scholarship at Montana State University at Bozeman, where she has just finished her first year. “This is one big, good experience. I like the feeling in Bozeman. It’s a smaller town where people talk to you on the street, where people are so friendly. I miss home, but I wouldn’t trade this for anything. “The tuition alone for me at MSU would have been $US18,000. Without the scholarship, I would not be here,” said Sarah. She has been readily accepted as the only Canadian on the 50-member university rodeo team “family” although she is routinely teased about her quirks of speech: “I say creek, washroom, roof and car. They say crick, restroom, ruff, and vee-hicle. “They laugh when I say ‘eh’ at the end of a sentence, but I don’t mind providing comic relief.” Sarah, known on campus as ‘Canada’, has done her team and countries proud. She just won the All Around Cowgirl title at a spring collegiate rodeo competition in Montana, finishing 2nd in goat tying out of 79 competitors. She also appreciates riding and competing in a region where rodeo has so much public support. “That’s what you do here in the summer

Riders ready for annual fundraiser NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Gentlemen — and ladies — start your engines, please, for the 2012 Ride for Doug. Doug is the nine-yearold boy whose amazing courage and determination are never more evident than when he dons his motorcycle gear and hops on the back of the motorcycle his dad, Cam, rides in the annual fundraiser for Muscular Dystrophy Canada. The Walnut Grove boy has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder which prevents the body from manufacturing dystrophin, a protein that shapes the muscles and keeps them functioning normally. Every hint of a disability vanishes on Doug’s big day which will be held this year on Sunday, June 3. The event comes after a year that has been difficult for the family. “Doug was invited to participate in a clinical trial of a new treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This one-year commitment has us visiting BC Children’s Hospital every week for treatment and monitoring,” he said. It has been a very taxing process, but one where there seems to be some hope for the result, he said. It involves a double

blind study, but bound by a confidentiality agreement to protect the integrity of the study the family is unable to comment. For now, the attention of Doug, his parents Cam and Allison and sister Samantha is firmly focused on Sunday, June 3, when the sixth annual Ride for Doug takes place. To register, sign up at www.RideForDoug. com. Registration begins at noon at South Langley Church, 20098 22 Ave., and the ride leaves at 1 p.m. The day will be capped off at 5:30 p.m. with a barbecue. The ride will take bikers on a three to four hour ride along a 200 kilometre route along the back roads of Langley, Abbotsford and Mission, raising awareness and funds for Muscular Dystrophy Canada which uses the funds for research and support. By making pledges, riders can help boost the $45,000 the ride has raised over the past five years. “Motorcycling season is upon us, and its time to start planning those weekends. As the weather slowly warms up, it’s time to check the oil and install fresh tires,” said Cam Penner. “Many bikers plan their weekends around the dozens of group rides that take place each year.

And that knowledge is enough to get him through each week.” In honour of his courageous spirit, Ride For Doug this year is dedicating the proceeds of the ride to research for a cure. As in previous years, the barbecue is open to both riders and nonriders alike, although non-riders are asked to make a donation.

Ride For Doug is one of these rides.” For Cam and Allison, while Doug’s year-long marathon of treatment and testing has been challenging, he continues his very strong and positive outlook on life. “We refer to him as ‘our medical explorer’ as he is among a very small handful of children worldwide who are involved in studying this new drug,” Cam said. “He goes into each appointment with a strong sense of humour, and with all the courage a nine-year-old can muster,” his Dad said. “He doesn’t like all of the blood work, injec-

$1 million gift kicks off campaign

Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation has received its largest single gift from an individual or family. The $1 million gift from the Vandekerkhove family (well known for their family business, the Super Save Group of Companies) marks the beginning of a $5.35 million campaign to expand the Family Maternity Centre at Langley Memorial Hospital. Langley Memorial Hospital has one of busiest maternity units in the region, with approximately 1,800 births per year. Staggering statistics demonstrate that the projected number of births at LMH is expected to increase to more than 2,300 by 2020. The number of births at Langley Memorial Hospital has

increased from 85 per year in 1948 (when LMH opened) to 1,800 per year in 2010. But the number of beds for these babies to be born in has only increased by 2 — from 11 to 13. The expansion includes seven additional labour/delivery/recovery/postpartum rooms and relocation of the current maternity clinic, next to the existing hospital maternity unit. The additional rooms will be designed for single room maternity care (SRMC), a model that is based on best practice and contributes to a better childbirth experience by supporting family-centred care. With the seven new rooms, the total number of SRMC spaces will increase to 20 to better manage current and

future demand. The clinic operates at full capacity, completing more than 10,000 patient visits every year. The expansion also includes several other additions and improvements, and infrastructure upgrades to support this, and any other future expansion project at Langley Memorial Hospital. Fraser Health will pay $6.31 million of the total $11.66 million required. Under the theme “It All Starts Here,” the Foundation is launching a capital campaign to raise the remaining $5.35 million from private partners and members of the community. At Saturday’s Langley Memorial; Hospital Gala event, the Foundation announced that more than $1.5 million has been raised to date.

Langley celebrates BC Youth Week Walnut Grove Secondary student William Savage, 16, shows off some of his favourite tricks on his skateboard during the Skate Jam on May 1 at Walnut Grove Community Centre. The event gave an opportunity for teens to enjoy skate and bike demos at their local hangout.

From May 1-7 young people throughout the City and Township had the opportunity to participate in a variety of special events for BC Youth Week. Ranging from a skate board jam, a bike show and a poetry slam to a council cook-off and even an amazing race, kids and teens across the two municipalities were celebrated with fun activities created by youth for youth. Since 1995 Youth Week has been held across the provincial during the first week of May to help build connections between young people and their communities.

More than 5,000 calls to Township fire dept. NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

The Township fire department continues to encounter a high demand for its services and, according to the annual report presented to council on April 16, the vast majority of responses are not related to fires, but medical emergencies. The report was presented on the same day that council gave first three readings the five year financial plan which includes the 2012 budget. This raises property taxes by almost three percent, the biggest cost driver being the hiring of eight firefighters to meet a WorkSafe B.C. requirement that prevents firefighters from entering a burning building unless there are four crew on the scene. However, structure fires represent only a small fraction of the calls made by firefighters. The report said that in 2011, there were 52 residential fires and 29 in commercial buildings. Firefighters responded to 76 vehicle fires, 391 alarms for utility pole fires, brush fires and complaints about burning, and 85 for chimney, dumpster, and electrical fires. By far the largest number of alarms were for medical emergen-

cies: 2,082 in 2011. The department responded to 892 traffic mishaps, 887 alarms (commercial, residential etc.) 117 calls for spilling or dumping of

hazardous materials, and 433 unspecified calls. In all, the department responded to 5,044 calls, compared to 4,804 in 2010, 5,079

in 2009, 5,060 in 2008, and 4,182 in 2007. “It is expected that this continual upward trend, especially in the area of motor vehicle accidents and medical

assistance calls, will continue as the Township’s population increases and its demographics change,” the report noted. The report also

details the activities of the bylaw enforcement department. It handled 172 complaints related to business licence violations, commercial vehicles, illegal suites,

noise, RV parking, un sightly/untidy premises and unauthorized use of properties. Council received the report without discussion.

A report to council revealed that the incidents of vandalism or graffiti cost $350 each, while the cost to install the anti-graffiti wraps on existing signal cabinets is about $800-$1,000 per box. Council approved the program, agreeing to spend about $35,000 a year over the next three years.

‘There’s not a lot to compare to it’

A Majestic addition to Main Street It can be tough to find a bit of peace in Vancouver, but Trafalgar Enterprises has managed to do it with their new development, Majestic on Main Street. With gorgeous views, great floorplans and amazing details, the development really lives up to its high-end name. “This is the only brand-new development on Main Street,” says Trafalgar’s Rattan Bagga. “There’s not a lot to compare to it, price-wise.” With two townhomes and 22 condominiums in a variety of one- and two-bedroom layouts, Majestic on Main is far from a cookie-cutter development. Each suite offers stunning views of Main Street, Vancouver or Burnaby.

“This is the highest point on Main Street,” Bagga says. “The top floor views are amazing.” Inside, the engineered hardwood floors are perfectly complemented by the custom wood cabinets and elegant composite stone countertops in the kitchen. The glass-tile backsplash is a great little touch that adds another gorgeous detail to the homes. Stainless-steel appliances is another modern touch. “We are putting in appliances that we would put in our home,” says Bagga. Homes start at $399,900. For more information, visit www.majesticonmain. com or call 604-638-9222.

Otter Co-op marks 90 years of service KURT LANGMANN Black Press

Otter Co-op is partying like it’s 1922 this year. It was 90 years ago that a small group of 25 members, both men and women, incorporated the Otter District Farmers’ Institute (on Nov. 13, 1922). Their “mandate was to promote agricultural awareness and improve life so that settlement would be permanent and prosperous” for the early settlers of the Otter district. The area was sparsely populated and heavily forested and the few hundred farmers attempting to clear the land for agriculture needed stumping powder to blast out tree stumps after the trees had been felled. Costs for this were quite high, so the Farmers’ Institute began to buy bulk, greatly reducing the price. Membership increased and with it, demand for farming products. In 1926, the ODFI began selling animal feed, hay, clover, barbed wire and fertilizer. By 1946, the number of retail items had increased enough that the ODFI built a grocery and hardware store on 248 Street. Starting in 1950, a bulk petroleum plant sold gas and diesel for farm use, as well as home heating oil and propane. While the bulk petroleum plant had been in use since 1950, it was not until 1972 that a gas bar was purchased to sell for gas for automobiles. The ODFI converted to an official co-operative on June 22, 1979 under the Black Press file photo Cooperative Association Act. A new name Otter Co-op has grown from a small group of 25 members in 1922 to total membership of more than 50,000. Otter Co-op, was chosen to reflect the new status: which now has five gas bars/convenience stores and a sixth set to open next year, is celebrating its 90th anniversary. the Otter Farm & Home Co-operative, or Otter Co-op.

Maximize student summer job search Kathy Dubeau, a guidance and co-operative education teacher at Stephen Lewis Secondary School in Mississauga, Ont., offers the following tips to high school students trying to find summer work: 1. Have a current resumé ready at all times — make it well organized and professional looking. 2. Know how to write an effective cover letter.

3. Use the “hidden job market” — personal networks and contacts — as many jobs aren’t publicly advertised. 4. Brush up on potential interview questions. 5. Have a suitable and wellfitting outfit ready for interviews. 6. Become familiar with job search websites, such the Federal Student Work Experience Program.

Beating the summer job blues The summer job season is fast approaching, and teens everywhere are updating their resumés, preparing for employment fairs and responding to want ads. But while many employers hire extra staff for the season, the search is often frustrating and fruitless for high school students. The summer unemployment rate for students is high—Statistics Canada reports that last year, it was 17.2%. As

well, high schoolers have a tougher time finding work than college and university students: according to Statistics Canada, last summer, those age 15 to 16 experienced 30.7% unemployment, and for those age 17 to 19, it was 16.4%, while for those age 20 to 24, the rate was a much lower 10.3% Penny Golin knows first-hand how hard it can be to score summer work. Like many teens, the 15-year-old

hard, because you don’t have a lot of work experience,” said Golin. That classic Catch22 — you can’t get a job without experience, but you can’t get experience until you get a job — is just one challenge job-hunting high school students face, says Kathy Dubeau, a guidance and co-operative education teacher at Stephen Lewis Secondary School in Mississauga, Ont. Others, she says, include not knowing where or how to look for jobs, and not having a current or effective resumé. Getting ahead in the competitive summer job market ultimately means being well prepared. Schooland career-planning service myBlueprint. ca has a new feature called Experiences and Resumé Builder that makes it easy to document accomplishments and prepare resumés. Available for free to students at public and Catholic schools wherever myBlueprint.ca is offered — the service is subscribed to by 1,500 middle and high schools within 40 school boards across the country — the tool lets users record experiences, achievements and skills that may one day help them find work, such as class projects, school clubs, hobbies, volunteer gigs and part-time or casual jobs. “There’s no need to try to figure it all out at the last minute — that’s when things get missed,” said Gil Silberstein, president of myBlueprint.ca. “With this tool, you can record every skill-developing experience or responsibility you have as you progress through middle and high school, and when you’re ready to look for work, you can just click a button to generate a resumé.”

is looking for a job to gain experiences and skills that may serve her career goal—in her case, becoming a graphic designer. Of course, she also wants to save money for university, and for some current living expenses. She has submitted many resumés to fashion retailers, day camps, an amusement park, a country club—but has received very few offers. “It’s disappointing, but at this age, it’s really

Dolfo running for London Achieving Olympic dream almost a reality for Langley’s Braedon Dolfo GARY AHUJA Times Sports

For someone with limited vision, Braedon Dolfo has seen a lot of the world. Deteriorating eye sight left him without the ability to see peripherally — he describes his vision as peering through a straw — but that has not slowed down the 18-year-old who is making a name for himself on the international stage in track and field. Last week, Dolfo was part of the Canadian 4x100 relay team which took second place in London at a test meet at the new 80,000 seat Olympic Stadium. Dustin Walsh also ran a leg of the relay and both are members of the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club. The meet was a chance for games officials to conduct a dry run ahead of this summer’s Olympic and Paralympic Games, which take place this July and August in London. The Canadian team is currently ranked fourth in the world and Canadian coach Laurier Primeau expects big things from the group, which features three of its five members under the age of 21. “While we think we can medal in London, what we are looking for is gold in 2016,” he said. Dolfo has been a member of the Canadian para-athletic national team since 2010 and currently holds the Canadian record in long jump, high jump and 100m. In 2011, Dolfo won bronze in the high jump at the Paralympic world championships in New Zealand and another bronze in the 100m at the Para-Pan Games in Mexico. And it is the Paralympics he has his sights set on. “I have dreamt about this for a long time and it is starting to come true,” Dolfo said about the

goal of representing his country on the world’s biggest stage. In order to run for Canada this summer, Dolfo and his relay mates must still achieve a certain qualifying time. Dolfo is attempting to do this week at the Fraser Valley track and field championships at Langley’s McLeod Park. Dolfo will compete against able-bodied athletes, but that is nothing new for the Grade 12 Langley Secondary student. If anything, it will help prepare him for the fall when he suits up for Primeau with the Trinity Western Spartans track and field team. “It will be interesting to run on an indoor track,” Dolfo admitted. “The corners will be interesting to learn and develop on, but I think I can figure it out.” Primeau anticipates no problems for Dolfo. “To get someone of Braedon’s caliber ... he has, as far as we are concerned, no disability,” the coach said. Dolfo’s personal best in the long jump would have placed him 10th at last year’s Canada West championships, and his time in the 100m would have been good enough to rank fifth in the country amongst ablebodied junior athletes. “Physically, he is just a ball of fast-twitch fiber; you can’t teach that,” Primeau said. “I have the luxury of working with someone who has a genetic gift and that just makes my job much, much easier. “He has a huge capacity and desire to learn and is extremely motivated, dedicated and evenkeeled, which I think are some very important attributes.” Primeau also credits the work of Kim Chapdelaine, a coach with the Mustangs, in helping Dolfo develop. “She has done a really good job of bringing him to the point where he is now,” he said.

A pair of Langley cyclists have made the shortlist for the London Summer Olympic Games. Svein Tuft and Christian Meier were both on the 11-person list released by the Canadian Cycling Association on May 11. It is a short-list group of riders from which the 2012 Canadian cycling team will be selected. “Canadian cycling has never been this healthy, with strong depth,” said

Canada calls for Cohee Teen among 30 invitees by Canada Basketball for national cadet team tryout GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Braedon Dolfo has represented Canada in past international competitions, including the 2011 Parapan American Games in Mexico (above) where he won bronze in the 100m event. The 18-year-old is aiming to run at this summer’s Paralympic Games in London.

Gord Fraser, the CCA’s manager of the men’s program. “We have in front of us a talented group of road cyclists to analyze. “Our discussions and final decision will certainly resolve around the best chance to win a medal in London, and help achieve our goals.” The 36-year-old Tuft was born and raised in Langley, while Meier, 27, moved to Langley from New

While most high school students will spend the long weekend enjoying some nice weather and an extra day off school, Jadon Cohee will be hitting the hardwood in hopes of suiting up for Canada. Cohee is one of 30 players invited by Canada Basketball to try out of the cadet (born January 1, 1995 or later) men’s national team. The tryout takes place at Toronto’s Ryerson University from Friday (May 18) to Monday. Those chosen to play for Canada will compete at the FIBA U17 world championships in Lithuania this summer (June 29 to Jadon July 8). Cohee Cohee, a six-footfour guard, played a prominent role with the Walnut Grove Gators this past season, helping the team to a second-place finish at the B.C. AAA senior boys’ provincial championships. The 15-year-old Cohee, who is in Grade 10 and played up a level this past season, acquitted himself very well at the senior level, earning first team all-star honours at provincials. This is the second straight year he has been invited to the cadet tryouts, as he attended last May as a 14-yearold. Both years, he has been one of the youngest invitees to the camp. And while he did not make the squad last time around, Cohee is confident in his chances. “I am stronger, faster, quicker,” he said. “I feel I have gotten a lot better from last year and believe I can make the team.” Cohee is playing is also playing in several U.S. tournaments this summer for Drive Basketball, a Lower Mainland club program.

Aggressive Bandits grab gold A perfectly-executed suicide squeeze bunt combined with some aggressive base-running helped the Langley Bandits win the gold medal. The Bandits scored twice in the top of the sixth inning to snap a 2-2 tie as they defeated Fleetwood 4-2 in the championship final at a U16 girls fastpitch tournament over the weekend in Cloverdale. With Kennedy Hoiss on third base and Leslie Campbell on second base, Layne Minaker laid down a perfectly-executed suicide squeeze bunt. Hoiss quickly scored and Campbell rounded third base and headed home, catching the Fleetwood defence off guard for the two-run lead. The Bandits defence closed things out with two flawless innings for the victory. Paige Caldwell earned game MVP honours. The win capped off a perfect weekend for the Langley Fastball squad, as they went 4-0 in the round robin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with wins over

Langley Xtreme 2000’s Chloe Jahn slides safely into third base against the Fleetwood Force over the weekend at a squirt B tournament at Abbotsford’s Exhibition Park. The Xtreme came third out of the dozen teams.

Lucky number 13 for Blaze It’s a baker’s dozen for the Langley Blaze. The U18 baseball team swept a pair of weekend doubleheaders to push their winning streak to 13 games. They have also jumped to top spot in the B.C. Premier Baseball League with a record of 20-4. The Blaze were in Parksville on Saturday, defeating the Royals 5-3 and 12-1. They returned home on Sunday to McLeod Park, edging the Victoria Eagles 2-1 in the opener and then 7-4 in game two. Blaze 5 Royals 3 Aaron Horanski hit a solo home run and Justin Geerts

threw six solid innings, striking out eight. Preston Kokotailo, Greg Rodgers and Mitchell Robinson all had RBIs. Blaze 12 Royals 1 For the fourth time in the past five games, the Langley offence reached double digits, this time scoring a dozen runs in a 12-1 pasting of the Royals. Liam Stroud allowed just two hits, while striking out six, over four shutout innings. Offensively, Bill Germaine hit a home run and drove in three runs. Tyler O’Neill and Michael Dagg both drove in a pair of runs.

Blaze 2 Eagles 1 O’Neill and Germaine delivered RBI hits in the third inning and that was more than enough offence for Cortez Chappell, who allowed one run on four hits, while striking out five. Blaze 7 Eagles 4 Horanski finished off his solid weekend with another three RBIs in the 7-4 Langley win. Langley was up 7-0 heading into the final inning when Victoria finally got to starting pitcher Marc Andre Habeck, scoring four runs. Habeck did earn the win, striking out a dozen batters along the way.

First place showdown for Jr. Blaze Three wins in four games have the Langley Jr. Blaze tied atop the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League standings. The Jr. Blaze swept the Vancouver Jr. Cannons on Saturday at Queen’s Park, winning 5-4 and 9-3. The U16 squad then split a doubleheader on Sunday at Mundy Park, losing to the Coquitlam Redlegs 3-2 before bouncing back to win game two 4-2. Langley sits tied for top spot at 11-4 with the White Rock Jr. Tritons (13-6) heading into tonight’s (May 16) showdown at McLeod Park. Langley 5 Jr. Cannons 4

Langley managed the win despite getting just four base hits — all singles — thanks in large part to five walks and four Vancouver errors. Colin McMaster drove in two runs while Justin Atkinson scored twice in the Jr. Blaze’s one-run win. Eric Broatch picked up the victory, striking out three over four innings. Langley 9 Jr. Cannons 3 Andre Pelletier hit a two-run triple and later added a third RBI to lead the Jr. Blaze while Matthew Reston delivered a pair of RBIs. Mitchell Kennedy went the distance, allowing three runs

on six hits, while striking out six Vancouver batters in the game. Redlegs 2 Langley 2 Coquitlam scored once in the bottom of the sixth and twice more in the bottom of the seventh to turn a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 victory. Danny Hollins was tagged with the loss, allowing two runs on three hits in an inning of work. Offensively, Reston hit a home run while McMaster had the other RBI. Langley 4 Redlegs 2 The Jr. Blaze scored four times in the second inning and Kyle Ross scattered four hits over six and two thirds innings. Coquitlam did cut the lead to 4-2 in the final inning, and had the bases loaded, but Pelletier recorded the final out to secure the win.
