Freeway ramps crash magnets MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Frank BUCHOLTZ/Langley Times

A refrigerated cube truck tipped onto its side on the eastbound 232 Street freeway exit on May 14, and then caught fire. There have been 842 crashes on the 232 Street off-ramps in the five years between 2007 and 2011.

ICBC has launched a new online crash map to help commuters know what intersections are most likely to be tied up by accidents. The maps give viewers a visual of all the crash data ICBC has collected from 2007 to 2011, and in Langley, drivers must show care at freeway on and off ramps. One place to avoid is the 232 Street off ramp. It appears more crashes have occurred there than on any other roadway in Langley from 2007 to 2011. A total of 842 crashes have occurred there. In 2011 alone, 188 accidents took place on that off ramp and 76 of those crashes involved injuries. Off ramps are just bad spots in general in Langley. Second worse crash count is at the 200 Street off ramps, with 810 crashes, followed by the 264 Street on ramp, says ICBC. The worst intersection in Langley is Fraser Highway and Langley Bypass, with 518 crashes followed by 200 Street and Langley Bypass and 200 St. and 64 Avenue.

Langley man pleads guilty to manslaughter A 30-year-old Langley man who legally changed his name to Nikki Sixx Serafino has pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter of a Surrey man shot and killed in 2009. Originally, Serafino had been charged with second degree murder, but on the first day of what was set to be his trial, he made the plea. Serafino, who was previously known as Jeffery Alan Smith, was arrested in April 2010, in connection with the murder of 33-year-old Damon Michael Martin. It was the morning of May 12, 2009, around 8:45 a.m., when Martin was shot

in the stomach while inside a house in the Panorama Ridge area of Surrey. Martin stumbled out of the house, attempting to flee. He got as far as Highway 10 at 132 Street, when he collapsed on the roadside. A passerby called 911, believing Martin had been run over. When police arrived they saw that Martin had been a victim of a shooting, not a hit-and-run. An air ambulance landed on the busy roadway and rushed Martin to hospital but he died of his injuries a few hours later. The murder wasn’t linked to drugs, gangs

or organized crime. It appears the victim and accused did know each other and some dispute may have taken place at the house. Serafino, who police have learned is a huge fan of the heavy metal band Motley Crue, changed his name to match that of the band’s guitarist Nikki Sixx. Searches of court documents do list a Jeffery Alan Smith as having trouble with the law in Dawson Creek and Kelowna in the early 2000s. Martin was also known to police, but he seemed to be on a different track of late, said police at the time of his murder.

Pipeline expansion now slightly downsized JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Kinder Morgan has pared down the size of its Trans Mountain pipeline twinning project, slightly reducing the number of oil tankers that would be expected to load up in Burnaby if the controversial expansion is approved. The $4.1-billion pipeline expansion would now increase capacity from the current

300,000 barrels per day to 750,000 — down from a previous estimate of 850,000. About 400,000 to 450,000 barrels per day, much of it diluted heavy crude from Alberta’s oil sands, would be allocated for export via tanker, according to Kinder Morgan spokesman Andrew Galarnyk. He said that translates into about 300 oil tankers a year calling on the Westridge Marine Terminal on Burrard Inlet, compared to 32 last year and a record of 69 in 2010.

He said the tanker estimates assume continued use of existing Aframax size tankers, not larger Suezmax tankers that hold up to one million barrels, but which would require Port Metro Vancouver dredging the Second Narrows. The project has been downsized because some shippers that would use the twinned pipeline failed to get the approval of their boards to sign binding contracts with Kinder Morgan.

North Fraser firefighters to mayor’s rescue It was firefighters from the North Fraser fire department, not the Mission department, who were among the emergency personnel who came to Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender’s aid on Sunday. The Langley City mayor was injured when the motorcycle he was riding skidded on grass clippings that turned a road surface to “grease” during a charity ride. Fassbender said that as his motorcycle went off the road, he made the split second decision to “bail,” rolling several times to avoid falling down the 30-foot precipice. It was dotted with tree stumps and barbed wire. “I was fortunate that I saw it coming,” said the mayor, who recuperated at home on Monday and returned to work on Tuesday. He is still sore from several bruised ribs and a damaged lung.

Gun pointed at driver MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

A driver who pointed a handgun at an unsuspecting driver in Aldergrove last Wednesday (May 23) was caught and now faces charges. Around 2:30 p.m., Langley RCMP received a 911 call to the area of 264 Street and Robertson Crescent where a 38-year-old man is accused of pointing a gun at another driver, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Const. Craig van Herk. The victim didn’t know the guntoting driver. The victim sped away but was able to obtain a vehicle description and licenCe plate number. No shots were fired and the victim wasn’t injured, van Herk confirmed. Langley RCMP and Air Two responded to the area in attempts to locate the suspect and vehicle. A short while later officers patrolling the area of 276 Street and River Road located the vehicle. The driver of the suspect vehicle was arrested without incident. The file remains under investigation, said van Herk. The accused will be in court again June 8.

Dorozan faced 12 counts of break and enter during five-month crime spree TRACY HOLMES Black Press

A 38-year-old Abbotsford man who broke into and stole from 11 South Surrey homes did so to feed what had become a $600-a-day heroin habit, Judge Michael Hicks heard Friday. But Darwin Duane Dorozan doesn’t want sympathy for the path that led to the “severe drug addiction” that fueled his actions, defence lawyer Gordon Bowen said during his client’s sentencing hearing in Surrey Provincial Court. “He’s not here trying to garner your honour’s sympathy for a rough childhood. He’s taking full responsibility,” Bowen said. “It may seem that he’s just a heartless drug addict, but he’s not.” Dorozan pleaded guilty earlier this month — three days before he was scheduled to go to trial — to 12 counts of break-and-enter, in connection with incidents committed between April and August last year, and one in August of 2010. One of the charges stems from a break-in in Langley; another “amounts to a home invasion,” prosecutor Mike Fortino noted. Dorozan was originally charged with 21 counts of break-and-enter, one count of possession of stolen property and one count of assault with a weapon. He was arrested last August with his younger brother, Dane, after police conducting surveillance on the pair removed numerous electronics from a home in the 16400-block of 28 Avenue. The suspects fled the area in a van, and officers who followed reported seeing some of the electronics being thrown from the vehicle as it sped away, shortly before it was pulled over near 184 Street and 20 Avenue. Damage to the home and electronics targeted that day totalled $20,000, Hicks heard.

Tucker, Esworthy named top seniors Pair honoured as Langley’s Seniors of the Year for their tireless community work Times Reporter

Two community workers who work without fanfare for the betterment of Langley have been named Langley’s Seniors of the Year. Toots Tucker and David Esworthy will be introduced at the opening ceremonies of Seniors Week on Monday, June 4 at 11 a.m. The event is at the Langley Seniors Centre, 20605- 51B Ave. Tucker said she was thrilled with the award, but would have been delighted simply to be nominated. “I felt my head begin to swell just with the idea of being nominated,” she said. “I went into total shock. How lucky can I get. I’m so blessed.” Nominated by Joanne Skeates, Tucker calls the army of volunteers with whom she works “such a wonderful family.” And it is that family with whom she wants to share

the accolade. “I feel deep inside that I should thank everyone for allowing me to volunteer,” she said. In her supporting letter, Skeates said that since Tucker lost her husband several years ago “she has devoted her time and energy to making Langley a better place to live, through all of her volunteer activities.” These include service to the Langley Heritage Society, Fort Langley Museum, Langley Garden Club, blood donor clinic, the Cancer Society, Operation Red Nose, Langley Field Naturalists, Salvation Army, Emergency Social Services, and Sharon United Church. “Toots is a kind, caring and loving person,” Skeates wrote. “She is a tremendous asset to our community and I can think of no one more deserving to be Senior of the Year than she.” There was a similarly glowing recommendation

September as a builder of equestrian sport, “has continually fostered a true sense of sportsmanship and constant improvement to the sport,” Robin said. She said that Esworthy has created a legacy of knowledgeable, enthusiastic and accomplished athletes, officials and administrators.

His volunteer work is not limited to all things equine. Esworthy holds or has held positions with the Vancouver Board of Trade, World Trade Committee, B.C. Fire Chiefs Association, B.C. Transplant Society, Vancouver Hospital and Health Sciences Centre, and the Justice Institute of B.C. Foundation. Esworthy joked that he is “not old enough” to receive the Senior of the Year crown. “I don’t deserve it, that’s the thing,” he said. “I didn’t even think that I would be thought of for the award. I think there are so many good, deserving people in the category, so it’s a real honour to be selected.” His vast volunteering brings him an enormous sense of satisfaction, and this: “I like to get things done and if they don’t get done I tend to stick my nose into it.” Esworthy and Tucker will also be honoured at the Seniors of the Year lunch at the Seniors Centre at 11:30 a.m. on June 6.

BUSINESS OWNERS: IS YOUR LEASE PROTECTED? Often the location of a business is key to its success. Perhaps it’s in a mall with lots of foot traffic or in an area with little competition. Or it may simply be prohibitive for the tenant to move because of his very substantial investment in unmoveable leasehold improvements, or because he has locked in a very favourable lease rate. These benefits often form a substantial part of the value of his business, which someday the tenant may wish to sell. In these circumstances, it’s critical for the tenant to protect his lease. If the term of the lease is for more than three years, this means registering it at the Land Title Office. Failure to do so could result in the loss of the lease if the landlord experiences financial difficulties and stops servicing his mortgage, or alternatively, sells the property to someone else who wants to lease the space to someone else. A recent case by the BC Supreme Court illustrates this risk. It involved a tenant in a Victoria hotel property (who leased restaurant, banquet and related facilities) and a sub-tenant (who sub-leased space for a pub). Both the tenant and sub-tenant essentially had 5-year leases with renewal options. Those leases were not registered. The hotel owner then took out first and second mortgages from lenders, who were fully aware of the unregistered leases. The mortgages were registered at the Land Title Office, as is customary. A few years later, the hotel owner stopped making mortgage payments. The lenders started foreclosure proceedings. The first mortgage lender had a buyer interested in the hotel who wanted vacant possession. So the lender decided to evict the tenant and sub-tenant, even though their leases hadn’t run out. The tenant and sub-tenant wanted to stay. Legal proceedings were brought to determine who had priority. The court was asked to reconcile two

conflicting rules. The first is a statutory provision that says a lease of longer than 3 years must be registered in the Land Title Office to be binding on a subsequent purchaser or mortgagee of the property. The second rule is essentially an equitable one holding that a purchaser or mortgagee who is aware of an unregistered lease cannot use the statutory rule to act in a manner which is fraudulent or contrary to community standards of morality. The court said that the existence of a fraudulent intent must be determined when the purchaser or lender acquires its interest in the property. If they were aware of the unregistered lease and intended to use the statutory provision to evict the tenant, the court will generally bar them from doing so. But, here, the lender had no intention of displacing the tenant when the mortgage was first registered. Rent from the tenant was helping the owner service the mortgages. It was only when the owner defaulted on the mortgages that the lender had to consider other uses for the property that didn’t include the tenant. The lender used his statutory right to obtain title and vacant possession of the hotel, without regard to the unregistered tenancy. The court decided this wasn’t a fraudulent abuse. For tenants, the bottom line is very important: if your lease term is for more than 3 years, and if the loss of your lease would have a seriously negative impact on your business, then you should protect yourself by having proper legal representation and ensuring that your lease is registered.

It was a grueling two days for fire fighters competing in the first Pacific Regional FireFit competition hosted by Aldergrove on the weekend. However, everyone agreed that the location was ideal, the weather was perfectly beautiful, and the crowds had a good time watching the relay races and other competitions. “We had lots of positive comments and the Township mayor and council are interested in hosting this again, so we have definitely scheduled a return in 2013,” said FireFit of Canada spokesperson Hilary McRoberts.

Langley Township placed fifth. “The sun was shining and we had lots of spectators on Saturday and the beer garden did well,” said McRoberts. “There were lots of spectators on Sunday too but the beer garden was quieter, which was too bad as that’s where we wanted to make the most money.” In the end about $6,000 was raised, all of which will be put toward the Aldergrove Soccer Club’s portion of the construction of two new artificial turf fields at Aldergrove Athletic Park. The club has pledged about $100,000 toward this investment by the Township. “We would have liked to do better than that but we’re not unhappy, it was a good result considering the short time period we had to organize it,” said McRobert, who is also president of the soccer club. “We only had about three months and usually I need a year to get everything organized for these events. But now that they’ve had the experience, next year the Township fire fighters will be able to help and get it going well in advance.” McRoberts also thanked the sponsors who helped defray the expenses, including the Fox & Hounds, 24/7 Security, Dan Flokstra at Alder Centre ReMax, Aldergrove Home Hardware and J.D. Turkey Farms.

Afghanistan war memorial unveiled NATASHA JONES

Times Reporter

Winston Churchill once asked, “what is the use of living ... if it be not to strive for noble causes ... and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone?” Mark Warawa brought that quote to mind on May 24 at the unveiling of a sketch of a memorial that will bear the names of the Canadians who have died in the Afghanistan conflict. The stainless steel structure will be built at the northerly edge of the Derek Doubleday Arboretum through which the Walk to Remember winds. The Walk features a grove of trees,one for each of the 158 Canadians who died in Afghanistan. Their names will be engraved on a stainless steel ribbon that will spiral down the main column of the 16 foot structure. Recalling Churchill’s words, Warawa said that “As Canadians we must do everything we can to keep remembrance alive.” It was Canada’s veterans “who forged this country’s identity generations ago, on distant battlefields in areas of conflict.” Canada has been reminded in recent years, Warawa said, that “our

the cost of the memorial. Township Mayor Jack Froese said that the memorial is the only one of its kind in the country. He said that the steel structure represents a tree with its life cut short. “It is a fitting tribute that will enhance the Walk to Remember,” Froese said. The memorial structure is expected to be ready for installation at the end of June. The deck surrounding the structure is being built by volunteers from the Arboretum and Botanical Society of Langley. Gloria Doubleday, widow of former Township clerk Derek Doubleday, after whom the arboretum is named, is a volunteer with the botanical society and was one of the guests at the event.

Planning for the future

Start at dinner table

ge and gender information from the 2011 census was released by Statistics Canada on Tuesday. Several factors become crystal clear on looking at the numbers — B.C. is becoming even more of a seniors’ haven than it already is, and people in general are living longer. At the same time, some areas of the Lower Mainland, notably parts of Vancouver centring on False Creek, are becoming islands unto themselves. That area is made up primarily of younger people without children. Langley is somewhere in the middle. This area does not have nearly as many children as neighbouring Surrey, and on a proportional basis, has more seniors. However, the population is fairly well-balanced across age groups. The City has proportionally more seniors, which isn’t surprising, given the many housing opportunities, ability to walk to shops and flat terrain. Almost 23 per cent of the City’s population is aged 60 and over, and that percentage will likely grow. The city will need to take that into account when doing future planning. In Langley Township, the percentage of seniors is lower — about 19.5 per cent. There are more than 20,000 people who are 60 and over in the Township. Given new developments in Willoughby and the number of senior-related facilities that have been built, that percentage will likely rise. At the same time, the number of children is growing, albeit at a slower pace. There are 27,175 people from babies to age 19 in the Township, and another 5,355 in the City. This means more pressure on schools, particularly in Willoughby, which is far from built out. The school district must redouble its efforts to ensure there are enough facilities in that area of Langley, and at the same time, manage its inventory of schools carefully. Although school populations in Brookswood have fallen, it would be foolish to sell any facilities there, even mothballed ones, because the area will one day develop to a much higher density. One community facility which cries out for more attention as a result of these latest numbers is Langley Memorial Hospital. Expansion of the hospital has been a very low priority for Fraser Health Authority, but with a growing number of seniors in the near future, it will be needed.

ichmond council took a progressive leap last week, thumbing its nose at naysayers and even public health officials, by taking a stand on frankenfoods. Council voted yes to a resolution opposing the cultivation of genetically engineered plants and trees in Richmond. Yes, senior governments— and ultimately federal authorities— are the regulators, but our local politicians are listening to the people and saying no. Sure there’s no firm evidence suggesting genetically altered food is good or bad for human health. And last time we checked, cities don’t have a science department sandwiched between its bylaws and transportation divisions. But in the absence of such categorical evidence, calling for a ban on such crops was the right move. Right now the Canadian public isn’t being informed of squat when it comes to the genetic engineering behind suppertime. There are no labelling requirements. Farmers aren’t required to disclose to their organic neighbours if unnatural crops are being grown. As Mayor Malcolm Brodie said, the ramifications of such crops are not exactly known. So why take the chance — especially when, given this age of information, natural alternatives to what ails a farmer should exist. Council’s latest move mirrors one it made a few years ago by panning the use of pesticides, banning the city’s and residents’ use of Roundup and other chemical products designed to kill garden weeds. Similarly, the science is unclear, but there are enough questions surrounding the chemicals and their use that warranted a sudden stop. With cancer rates seemingly growing and growing, global environmental changes and unexplained economic crises, “science” aimed at bettering our lives needs a careful examination.

letters AirCare is worth saving The

Langley Times

Editor: Re: “It’s Time AirCare Died,” (editorial, The Times, May 29). Your editorial on AirCare fails to appreciate the importance of the program for protecting our environment and building a sustainable economy. As a resident of the Fraser Valley, I know that rather than buying the government’s line that we don’t need to worry about emissions any more, we only need to look up on a poor air quality day to realize that there are cars and trucks on the road that are polluting more than is warranted. Contrary to your assertion that there aren’t enough older vehicles on the road for AirCare to examine, the program catches close to 40,000 vehicles with emission problems each year. Without testing, that number will compound from one year to the next, growing exponentially.

AirCare does a good job of protecting our environment and air shed. According to the province-led 2010 Program Review, AirCare is keeping 50,000 tonnes of CO2 out of our atmosphere, and an independent review from the same year concluded the program would continue to be effective until at least 2020. Economically, AirCare repairs and preventative maintenance pumps $35 million of revenue per year into our local automotive repair industry. AirCare should be expanded to include heavy trucks and diesel engines for a safer, cleaner air shed, but one set of emitters shouldn’t be swapped for another. Heather Lee, vice-president, COPE 378

Agenda of NDP government predicted Editor: If after the polls close in B.C. on May 14, 2013, the NDP forms government, this will be its agenda. The NDP will bankrupt the province, lose the triple AAA credit rating, take B.C. once again to a “have-not province,” top off all funding to government ministries, give all government employees pay raises, in return for a increase in taxes to the taxpayers. It will create unemployment because B.C. is a business province, and businesses don’t

invest in NDP territory. It will have all decisions approved by B.C. Federation of Labour boss Jim Sinclair, call a provincial election in May, 2017, and once again lose the election to a coalition government, which will have to start all over again in cleaning up a NDP mess. That’s just what Bill Bennett of the Social Credit party had to do after a Dave Barrett NDP government, and Gordon Campbell did after a Glen Clark, Dan Miller, Ujjal Dosanjh

three stooge NDP government. Before marking your ballot, ask yourself this: Who pays you a paycheque every second Friday? Is it a B.C. business or a union, and who do you want to manage your taxpayer dollars? Governments are all the same in general, but some are better than others. The voting taxpayer has the final say.

Attentive horse helps fallen woman get help Editor: I am a type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump, and I also have neuropathy in my feet and legs. I have a recumbent bike I ride to help keep my legs from stiffening up. For the past year, I have ridden on my street and taken an apple or carrot for a horse up the street. On this one particular evening, I got off my bike and the horse came running. I didn’t notice that a trough had been dug to the nearby ditch to drain off some water. Well, I fell and I could not get up. The

horse was really upset. He was trying to reach me and also was biting the fence to try and break it. He then ran over to the house on the other side of the property and was at the window calling. He stopped, ran back and forth along the fence line, then ran back to me. He continued doing this for about 15 minutes. Then the people arrived home and noticed that the horse was really spooked. They looked at him running to me, and they saw me on the ground. There was no way I could get up, and

that horse got help for me. The next day I went over to see him. and I opened my arms and he was using his mouth and was checking me. Along one arm, up and down my front, down the other arm, my head — he was checking me all over to see if I was hurt. I have since found out the horse which saved me was also saved from going to the slaughterhouse. He is quite the horse in my eyes. B. Langbell, Langley

NAMES IMPORTANT Editor: Someone once said that war is too important to be left to the generals. I feel the same way about the naming of new schools, parks, bridges etc. It’s too important to be left to the politicians and school boards. If I was the king of Langley,it would be the Langley Heritage Society which would be responsible for compiling a list of about four appropriate names for new schools. That list would be given to the school board,which would have to select a name from it for a new school. Developers would also have to go through the Heritage Society for names, so there wouldn’t be any more examples, such as the “Milner Heights” development in Willoughby. Also,when new areas of the Township are opened up for the developer’s clearcuts, appropriate names would be chosen by the Heritage Society. The latest area of Willoughby which is in the developer’s sights is being called “Latimer” for some reason. Mr.Latimer was a Surrey pioneer and was not from Langley. He already has a school, a road, a lake and a creek named for him. I’m pretty sure a more Willoughby or Langley-centred name could have been found instead. Brian Johnson, Willoughby

MORE BAD APPLES Editor: Iis anyone surprised that disgraced policeman Don Ray has found a new home in B.C.? It would appear that the new head honcho of the RCMP is no better than the last one, and his promises to clean up the rank and file were all hot air. We have enough bad apples here in B.C. without having to import more from other provinces. Why did he not get fired? If you or I were to behave that badly at our place of employment, we would certainly find ourselves on the receiving end of a pink slip very quickly. The founders of the Northwest Mounted Police must be rolling in their graves at all the shoddy, disgusting reprobates that now wear the red serge. A big thanks must go out to Shirley Bond for signing another 20-year contract with the RCMP — more of our hard-earned tax dollars misspent. A. Crawford, Langley

Two private-property owners have been recognized for heritage conservation, in an award program established by the Langley Heritage Society. The recipients are Eric Woodward for his facade enhancements of the west side of Glover Road, and Marten and Ruth Van Huizen for their restoration of the Field & Marten office. The awards and recognition plaques were presented at the annual general meeting of the Heritage Society last month. Recognition was given to the extensive streetscape renovations to a major part of downtown Fort Langley by Eric Woodward. The entire block of storefronts on the west side of Glover Road received facade enhancements consistent with Langley Township’s heritage design guidelines. Heritage Society president, Fred Pepin, presented the award to Woodward and thanked him “for incorporating heritage elements in the new facades and helping to revitalize a major part of the downtown.” The conversion of a residence into an office

for Field & Marten won recognition for the expert restoration of a building with heritage interest. Part of the building, located on the corner of Francis Avenue and Church Street, originally was the stable belonging to Langley’s first physician, Dr. Benjamin Marr. In 1924 most of the stable was moved from beside the Marr House to its current location and converted into living quarters by Joe Sailes, a fisherman. A smaller portion of the stable with two horse stalls remained at the Marr House for the pony of the doctor’s young son, Bill. Over the years the Sailes home received additions but the original portion is still identifiable on the south side. Marten and Ruth Van Huizen were commended by Pepin for their attention to detail and sensitive restoration of a building with an interesting link to Langley’s history. The awards program, now in its third year, has three categories for award eligibility. The Van Huizen’s Field & Marten office

Volunteer bureau suggested for Langley NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Township council likes the idea of a volunteer bureau, but at the suggestion of Mayor Jack Froese the City will be invited to have a say so that nothing is duplicated. “They are very interested in what we are doing,” Jim Marvel, the Township’s manager of recreation and culture, advised council.

The idea of a volunteer bureau was first suggested in December by Sonya Paterson, a former school trustee. She said that the success of every Canada Day, Cruise-In, festival, parade and sporting event in Langley lies in the support of an army of people who are the backbone of any community, working countless hours without financial reward. These events and others

are dependent on ‘volunteer power,’ Paterson told council at the time, adding that events that are fueled by volunteers began with their vision. She said that there are 20 volunteer centres in B.C., one of which is in Surrey, and it receives many calls from people in Langley looking for opportunities for volunteering. To keep them in Langley, a volunteer centre should be

established here, Paterson said. In a report, Marvel recommended that “the optimal means to support local volunteers and community groups would be through a softwarebased integrated online community volunteer management solution.” He added: “It is an extremely powerful system yet is easy to use and administer.”

Technology improvements mean end in sight for AirCare JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Citing a sharp drop in air pollution from cars that have become ever cleaner, Environment Minister Terry Lake said the provincial government will scrap AirCare emission tests for light vehicles by the end of 2014. The decision will end a longstanding irritant for many Lower Mainland motorists who saw the program as an unjustified cash grab that cost them $46 every two years. And Lake also promised fees will be reduced in the last year of the two and one-half year phaseout period. “Times change, technology changes and it’s time for progress,” Lake said, adding the move will save families money. He pledged a review of the need for emissions testing in future, suggesting the program may be retooled to test heavy trucks or other vehicles, but made no guarantee. Less than half the regular cars and light trucks on the road currently go through AirCare under the current rules, because of an eight-year exemption period for new vehicles. Most older cars that are tested pass AirCare without difficulty but those that fail must get a tune-up

and re-test to get insurance. Thirteen per cent of those tested in 2007 failed. A multi-agency review in 2010 found the air quality benefits and health impacts justified keeping AirCare until at least 2020. Lake agreed there would be some benefits to continuing, but said they are diminishing. “ Te c h n o l ogy appears to be solving its own problem,” he said, adding a shift in focus to diesel-burning trucks, offroad vehicles Terry Lake and even ships may yield bigger air quality and health benefits. Metro Vancouver’s board voted in 2010 to retain AirCare and the decision was narrowly endorsed by the Fraser Valley regional district board. Both regional boards supported a continuation, coupled with an expansion to test large diesel trucks. The AirCare program is run by TransLink at a cost of $17.5 million per year, but that money was fully funded from the fees charged. Not everyone is applauding the decision.

“There’s so many older vehicles out there that we need to make sure are in good operating condition,” said North Vancouver City Mayor Darrell Mussatto. “If it affects the quality of our airshed, I have some concerns about it.” David Cumming, an AirCare inspector and one of 114 unionized employees whose jobs may be gone, called it a “backward step” that may lead to more pollution in the region’s constrained airshed. He said the decision means there will be no check to keep older vehicles clean or to prevent some drivers from tampering with pollution controls. But Lake said increasingly computerized vehicles means it’s less likely drivers will dismantle emission control systems to try to save gas. “I don’t know very many people who do that,” he said. “When I look under my hood I don’t know what’s what any more. It’s all computerized, the technology is so far advanced I think that will happen less and less.” Lake credited Metro Vancouver’s leadership, saying the regional district’s newly imposed fees on older off-road diesel equipment will spur owners to upgrade and reduce emissions.

ith ongoing pipeline and oil tanker skirmishes, and a hot summer for mining and logging still to come, the green war in B.C. shows no signs of slowing down. Things are already hot in the Fraser Valley, where the federal government’s change to the definition of fish habitat has opened a new front on the farms. Farmers briefly got into the public discussion by hauling a couple of cute calves into downtown Vancouver and staging a television-friendly demo in front of the federal fisheries office. They have been saying for decades that imposing salmon stream regulations on drainage ditches around their fields is impractical. Fraser Valley Conservative MPs Randy Kamp and Mark Strahl even had the nerve to meet with local mayors to hear their concerns about B.C.’s most productive farmland, with-

Federal funds go to Festival Langley’s International Festival Society, a local non-profit organization that promotes art in the community, has received a financial boost from the federal government. MP Mark Warawa announced that the Langley International Festival Society has received $11,200 to help present the 12th annual festival, which will take place Aug. 25 and 26. Activities will include theatrical, dance and musical performances as well as a variety of visual art displays. Approximately 165 volunteers will devote more than 15,000 hours to the festival which will feature the work of 340 local artists. Attendance

our arts, culture, and heritage.” He said that for several years, the festival has brought together Langley residents, and introduced them to their neighbours’ arts, culture and heritage. “I enjoy coming out every year wearing my traditional Ukrainian dress and talking with residents about my family’s culture, and learning more about

theirs,” Warawa said. “Canadians have every reason to be proud of their communities and to celebrate their collective sense of belonging to a unique place in this country. Our government wants to encourage the stories and the celebrations. We want future generations to be aware of their origins and Canada’s rich and diverse heritage.”

Clayton Heights’ Yubin Anh wins car in Langley Honda Dry Grad promotion Getting high school graduates to attend their alcohol-free dry grads can be difÀcult, but not if there is a car up for grabs. This year’s Clayton Heights Secondary dry grad had record number in attendance, and all thanks to the kind donation from Jonker Honda Nissan on the Langley Bypass. In an effort to promote safe, alcohol-free celebrations during grad, the dealership gives away a completely refurbished used car to a lucky student at two different schools in the Langley/Surrey area during their dry grads. The annual event started in 1998, after a horriÀc vehicle accident at a teenage party at Stokes Pitt resulted in the death of a student. Jonker Honda Nissan owner Karel Jonker wanted to do something to help prevent these incidents from occurring again. “How do we get students to attend dry grad? Great prizes, that's how it will work,” said Glen Goldhawk, Àxed operations manager at Jonker Honda Nissan. And so the car giveaway was born, with 36 cars awarded to 36 graduates so far. With help from their business partners in the automotive community, the chosen cars

are tuned up mechanically, have dents and dings repaired, get new tires and even new paint if needed. “They’re not brand new cars, but they are certainly in pristine condition. Perfect for kids coming out of high school and needing wheels to get to university or college or work if they choose to do that. It will help them get started,” Goldhawk said. Tickets are handed out to each student who attends their dry grad, with three Ànalists chosen that night. The next day at school, each Ànalist chooses a balloon with a key inside. One will start the engine to the car. “It’s a great car, the one girl who won (Yubin Anh) was so excited, she was just beside herself,” Goldhawk said of the car presentation at Clayton Heights on Tuesday. The second school partnered with Jonker, Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary in Cloverdale, had their car giveaway on Wednesday. “We did a lot of promotions to try and get kids to come to dry grad,” Goldhawk said. “Hopefully we can help change their habits.”

The Roderick Cummings house at 21561 Old Yale Road is undergoing a heritage revitalization and is being given protection as a heritage home. The house, built around 1915, was badly damaged by fire last year. It is to be converted to a medical clinic and house other professional uses.

Murrayville heritage house gets restoration surgery NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

A house that was part of the Edwardian-era expansion of Murray’s Corners is undergoing a major renovation and transformation into a medical clinic. The Roderick Cummings house was built at 21561 Old Yale Road approximately 97 years ago. Situated on a 1.3 acre lot, the residence contributed to the early

life and development of the Murrayville community. Several major alterations have been made over the years. The front porch was enclosed and additions built on three sides of the house. In September, 2011, these additions and the north side of the house were destroyed by fire. Smoke and water damage destroyed considerable loss to the original exterior materials.

Renovations currently under way are intended to return the house to its original appearance, and will include restoring the front porch and replacing windows and doors. According to a report to council, the restoration process is being guided by the surviving structural and design elements, and archival photos of the house. The Roderick Cummings house is owned

by Bump Holdings, whose owners stated in their application: “We feel that this heritage project will provide the missing heritage focus on the northwest location of Murrayville Five Corners.” The owners said that is would be “wonderful to have the area restored and be a visible historic focus for the community.” The owners added that there is no financial advantage to them in the restoration of this heritage building. “Despite this, we remain committed to this project as we believe that it is an important part of the history and appearance of the Murrayville Five Corners area,” they wrote. Nearby buildings include Sharon United Church. The 1889 Wooden sanctuary, attached to a larger and newer sanctuary, was given Heritage Revitalization Agreement protection in 2002. Across the roundabout lie Porter’s General Store, and The Travellers Hotel (now the Princess and the Pea bed and breakfast). Other heritage buildings in the vicinity are the Mathews Cash Grocery (Bishop House) and the Archibald McCrimmon Residence.

Making dining out just a little bit easier It is now easier than ever to make healthy choices when dining out with the recent launch of the Province of British Columbia’s Informed Dining program. Featuring more than 300 restaurant outlets in British Columbia, the program publishes nutritional information and allows diners to view the information in a format similar to that of a nutritional guide on products at the grocery store. All you have to do is look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants. “British Columbians have made it clear they want information to help them make informed choices about what they and their families are eating,” says B.C. Minister of Health Mike de Jong. “With Informed Dining, we are partnering with B.C. restaurants to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.” Some of the participating restaurants include chains such as The Boathouse, De Dutch, A&W and Little Caesar’s, and stand-alone restaurants such as H.A.V.E. Cafe in Vancouver, Mountain Eagle Books in Smithers and Joseph’s Coffee House in Victoria. With people in British Columbia eating a meal in a restaurant approximately 10 per cent of the time, it’s never been more important to be able to source out healthy options. With the new program, calorie and sodium information is prominently highlighted for all regular menu items, while other nutrients, including carbohydrates and fat, are also noted. The program also gives advice on daily calorie and

Excess weight can increase the risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and various cancers, so caloriecounting is an important part of a healthy diet. Eating too much sodium contributes to high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and kidney disease, making sodium another important piece of the healthy eating puzzle. “Healthy eating is a critical element in living a long and healthy life and avoiding cardiovascular disease,” says Gavin Arthur, vice-president of research and health promotion for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. “The Informed Dining program takes a positive step forward in providing people with information they can use in making informed choices while dining out.” The program is voluntary, but the provincial government is

encouraging every restaurant to join the initiative and make such information available. “We want to be part of the solution in making healthy choices, easy choices in B.C.,” says Vice-President of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association Mark von Schellwitz. “This program has the potential to help restaurant patrons become more conscious about what they are eating – it also shines a light on those establishments already providing menu nutrition content while encouraging other restaurants to follow suit.” The provincial government has been working on this program since 2010, and has given restaurants several options for disclosing nutrition information, including a menu insert, a poster or a brochure. “I am proud that we have about 300 outlets across the province signed up to participate in this important program,” says Ian Tostenson, CEO and president of the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association. “I know that other business will continue to learn more about Informed Dining and sign up – this information is what our customers have been telling us they want, and it is our responsibility to provide it.” The initiative is part of the Healthy Families BC campaign, created by the Province to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent chronic disease. For more information, visit www. healthyfamiliesbc.ca/home/informed-dining. The website also features a contest with weekly draws and a grand prize to cook like a chef and learn from a dietitian.

STOP GUESSING

START ASKING GE T THE FAC TS Making informed menu choices can be challenging. But with the new Informed Dining program, restaurant-goers can now get the facts when dining out. Just look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants and ask your server for nutrition information to help you make healthy choices from the menu.

is to reduce allowable hours from 16 hours per week to 15. Sprinkling of lawns on non-residential proper ties is restricted to one morning per week, from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. based on civic address, plus Friday morning from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. for all nonresidential addresses. These restrictions are for Stage 1 and 2 limitations.

When a dry spell dictates, Stages 3 and 4 are imposed, banning outright lawn sprinkling for all properties. The changes are intended to conserve a valuable resource, minimize evaporation and waste, and sustain the supply of drinking water. Restricting outdoor water use during the summer months also helps to sustain groundwater on which many fish-bearing streams rely.

‘Thoughtful livability’ at work When Panther Constructors decided to build their latest development in Chinatown, The Flats on Georgia, they ran into a few emotional obstacles. “How do you build in a part of the city with so much history?” asks Panther Director Brian Low. “We have to do justice to the neighbourhood.” “You have to carefully stitch a patch into the existing quilt,” says Scott Brown of Colliers International Residential Marketing. The 28 one- and two-bedroom condominiums include nine-foot ceilings, and plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows that will allow natural light to pour in.

Outside, the building rises nine storeys from the street, and features contemporary Chinatown architecture like slotted shutters, Juliet balconies in some plans and ground level retail. “The crux of the unit is ‘thoughtful livability,’” Low says. With open concept kitchens, polished concrete flooring throughout and custom millwork, it’s clear that no detail has been overlooked. “(We) spent a lot of time thinking (about) important details,” Low says. “Personally, I haven’t lived in a place that feels more like a community ... It’s like a small town inside a big city.” Visit theflatsongeorgia.com or call 604-790-8744 for more information.

tables, chairs and benches, and paved garden paths and green space. Surrey City Centre “is going to be a gathering space,” says Lin. “It’s going to be the most popular space in Greater Vancouver.” The civic plaza currently holds the City Centre Library and will eventually be home to Surrey’s new City Hall. A new performing arts centre, Simon Fraser University and the Surrey Art Gallery are also nearby. Almost any amenity or service you could imagine is in the area, from shopping at the Central City mall to grabbing a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants. If it’s a bit of outdoor recreation you’re looking for, you’ll be able to find it at one of the many parks near Wave, including Holland Park,

home of the annual Fusion Festival and Movies Under the Stars. The North Surrey Recreation Centre, featuring a pool and several ice rinks, is right beside the Surrey Central SkyTrain station, just minutes from Wave. Wave is within easy walking distance of transit, so you’ll be able to leave your car behind. There are several bus routes and SkyTrain stations in the area. “It’s easy to zip to central Surrey and back to Vancouver,” Lin says. Surrey has quickly become a large urban centre in its own right, separate from Vancouver itself. “Places like Surrey, suburban centres, are going to be the next Vancouver east side,” Lin says, citing that area’s popularity with buyers until its home prices began to rise. “To get that kind of pricing, you have to go out to the suburban areas. This area is going to take off,” he says. Homes at Wave start at $179,900. For more information, visit www. waveliving.ca or call 604-951-9283.

‘This area is going to take off’

A new Wave of style in Surrey City Centre by Kerry Vital

Rize Alliance is bringing some high style to Surrey’s City Centre with its newest condominium project, Wave. The two high-rise towers will hold 235 suites per tower, and with generous balconies included in every home, it’s no surprise that many have already been sold. Many of the outdoor spaces are larger than 100 square feet. “It’s unheard of to bring that kind of outdoor space to condos,” says Will Lin, president of Rize Alliance. The architecture is definitely the defining exterior feature of Wave. As its name suggests, it’s built in a gently undulating wave pattern that will make it an iconic part of the City Centre skyline. Each floor is curved differently than the one above and below it, so no two homes are identical. “People can be proud of (it) as they drive up to their home,” says Lin. Curb appeal is definitely one of the many reasons people are choosing to live at Wave, along with the affordable prices and the location, which is rapidly growing in popularity. Another special feature at Wave is inside the suites. Ingenious movable walls mean that you can change your home to suit your every need, whether it’s closing off a space for visiting overnight guests or opening it up to have more room to entertain. “The movable walls create space as necessary,” Lin says. He explains that this gives homeowners double the possibilities for their home. There are a variety of one- and two-bedroom floorplans available, ranging from approximately 522 to 780 square feet. The living area features contemporary wood-tone laminate flooring, while the bedroom includes luxurious nylon custom carpeting that you can sink your toes into. Because of the design of the building there is a beautiful view in every direction, so the large windows let in tons of natural light and afford you a daily taste of your personal stunning view. The kitchens are perfect for entertaining or a night in with a glass of wine and a good book. With polished quartzite countertops complemented by soft-close durable wood grain cabinets

and stainless-steel appliances, you may be inspired to become a gourmet chef. A typical condo kitchen, this is not. The bathrooms are chic and cool, with their own set of polished quartzite countertops and porcelain floor tile. A brushed aluminum mirror lends a little elegant touch to the space where you may spend much of your time getting ready for the day or a night out. When you’re ready for a bit of entertainment, the development has some pretty great amenities, from a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a theatre room, a library and lounge areas with a kitchen, among many other amenities. Wave is also pet-friendly, with a pet wash/grooming room. A community garden is also on-site, as well as an open space on the ground level that will hold a barbecue area with

“

People can be proud of (it) as they drive up to their home,” says Rize Alliance President Will Lin.

The homes at Wave are elegant and modern, with wood-tone laminate flooring and large windows to let the natural light flood in. With several different floorplans available, you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect home.

Bateman on mission to help taxpayers NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Although he didn’t know it at the time, the Township council meetings of July 29, 2011, turned out to be Jordan Bateman’s last as a councillor. The week before, the regional mayors, including Langley Township’s, had secretly voted to raise TransLink gas taxes two cents per litre. “I was incensed,” Bateman told a large crowd of supporters of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation last week at Redwoods. “This is precisely the wrong kind of idea that was spreading in politics. Instead of making the tough decision and looking inward for cash savings, TransLink simply increased taxes on an already burdened public. We already paid 15 cents/litre for the great privilege to be part of TransLink and receive our handful of buses a day, plus we pay them property taxes, a Hydro levy, parking taxes, Golden Ears Bridge toll, AirCare and transit

fares.” Within days of that meeting, Bateman had been hired as the B.C. director of the CTF, a position vacated by another high-profile political affiliate from Langley, Gregory Thomas, who moved to Ottawa to become the CTF’s federal director. Since then, Bateman’s profile has risen as he takes on government corporations and agencies that waste taxpayers’ money. “The good politicians are always on the hunt for best practices from elsewhere, and ideas. Ideas separate the good from the mediocre in elected life. It takes social and political skill to get those ideas passed, whether you are in a city hall or the provincial legislature, but it’s the currency of politics,” he said. While still a Township councillor, Bateman spent several hundred dollars for an automated poll of 6,000 Langley households. Almost half responded, “That’s a huge number,” he told continued, PAGE 41

Natasha JONES/Langley Times

Jordan Bateman, B.C. communications director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, is putting TransLink under the microscope for its huge expenses and the massive taxes it takes from local ratepayers for inadequate service.

CTF trains its sights on TransLink waste from PAGE 38

the Redwoods audience. “The response was emphatic: 91 per cent opposed the TransLink gas tax increase. I had dozens of people who missed the call but heard the poll on their voice mail call me and ask me to add them to the opposed side. They told me how stretched thin they felt, how concerned they were about receiving less value for their tax dollar than ever before, and asked me if anything could be done.” A day later, he was being interviewed for the CTF job and likely had the job wrapped up by his answer to a question about TransLink. “I had been living and breathing the TransLink file for weeks and smoked the question. I mean, total home run answer.” He was offered the job the next day and, after almost six years at Township Hall, he was ready for a change. Today, he feels he can have real influence all over the province by formulating, pushing and encouraging new ideas to save taxpayers money. “I’m the first person to join the CTF out of elected life, which gives me a unique perspective on how to

charitable donations; • Failing to address bus driver assaults (resulting in higher turnover and benefit costs); • Studying a Burnaby Mountain gondola that didn’t have local support, and • Sunday bonuses for transit police and other staff. The day before his Redwoods address, Bateman received the results of an FOI request. It showed that TransLink spent more than $500,000 to install 10 video screens in various SkyTrain stations. “Watch for that story next week,” Bateman said, promising that “we’re just getting started.” He said that TransLink does not deserve another nickel of taxpayers’ money until it address the waste within its system which already gets $1.4 billion a year from taxpayers and transit riders. It’s due in no small part to Bateman and the CTF that last month Premier Christy Clark announced a full audit of TransLink, When the auditors begin their work in June “you can bet we will be ready,” Bateman said. “We plan to present them with a document of concerns and waste we and the media have identified, and other tips that whistleblowers have sent

us but we haven’t been able to fully prove yet because of TransLink’s reluctance to release information.” The document will give the auditors “a road map of places to look and hopefully contribute to a thorough review,” he said. “That’s a big win for us as taxpayers, and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.” One of the CTF’s next big projects is focusing on pay equity. Academic and think tank studies show that government employees, on average, are paid 6 to 10 per cent more than their private sector counterparts. “When you factor in pension and benefits, that gap grows to as much as 30 per cent in favour of government employees,” he noted. He said that taxpayers cannot afford to keep overpaying the market for labour. Government shouldn’t be a charity — taxes are taken us under the law and should be spent efficiently and effectively. “This organization is more than just a bunch of guys like me chattering away about taxes. In a lot of ways, we’re a family of 70,000 supporters across the country, sharing ideas and giving each other support and strength.”

Target set to open next year partnership with SeaChoice, a consortium of five nationally respected Canadian conservation organizations that undertake scientific assessment of the environmental sustainability of wild fisheries and aquaculture products. FCL has worked with SeaChoice in identifying fresh and frozen seafood products in three categories:‘avoid’, ‘some concerns’ and ‘best choice.’ A green ‘best choice’ sticker is for those products that are well managed, abundant and caught or farmed in environmentally sustainable ways. A yellow label identifies ‘some concern’ products while red is for ‘avoid.’ In addition to the new labeling, customers will have access to handouts, pocket guides and posters to assist them.

Eighteen Target stores will open in B.C. in early 2013 when the U.S.-based retailer takes over former Zellers stores. Included in the list are eight planned Target stores in the Lower Mainland, in Abbotsford, Burnaby, Chilliwack, Coquitlam, Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge and Surrey. Absent from the list is any Vancouver store. “This is just the first wave,”Target Canada president Tony Fisher told reporters, adding more store sites will be announced in September. ••••• The Aldergrove Otter Co-op is among the many communities taking part in a sustainable seafood program.

It started as a way to get into shape but blossomed into something much larger. Taking part in her first bodybuilding competition earlier this month in Kelowna, Langley’s LeeAnn Harper captured top spot in both the junior (U21) bodybuilding division and in the open division at the B.C. Amateur Bodybuilding Association’s Western Canadian championships. It was held on May 19 at the Kelowna Community Theatre. “I love the adrenaline, it is the most amazing feeling,” Harper described of being on stage, flexing her muscles and holding her poses. “It is very nerve-wracking and you do have a lot of fear. “But you really enjoy that fearful part because you know that you are never going to feel that again, it is only in that moment.” The competition judges contestants based on their physique, figure and fitness. The 20-year-old Harper began taking her exercising and fitness seriously about three or four years ago. She started with weights, doing power lifting and Olympic lifting, and eventually got into CrossFit training. Harper trained at CrossFit Langley, which she now helps run, with Darren Clarke. “I got into training here and really loved it,” she said, calling Clarke a great motivator. Harper, who stands five-foot-two and weighs about 110 pounds, also described CrossFit — which is a series of varied movements — as very addictive. With an eye on getting into bodybuilding competitions, Harper began working with Team Fit Body in Surrey, under trainer Dawn Alison and Alison’s husband Brandon Best, in December. “I told her when I first met her, she could be a Canadian national junior women’s bodybuilding champion this year if she sets her mind to it,” Alison said. “She can go as far as she wants to. She has already shown me that she has the drive, determination, work ethic and is willing to make the necessary sacrifices to excel in this sport, which will transcend to anything she wants to do in life.” Harper said she was confident heading into the competition, mainly because of her experience as a weightlifter. With Western Canadians out of the way, there has been little time to relax or rest on her laurels as Harper is busy preparing for the next challenge: the B.C. provincial championships, which will be held in New Westminster on June 30. A strong showing at that event would help Harper qualify for this year’s national championships in Edmonton. Alison, also a competitive bodybuilder and former powerlifting champion, sees a lot of herself in Harper. “She reminds me a lot of myself at that age,” she said. “She’s very tenacious, a great student. “She’s like a sponge: you tell her what to do and she does it.” Alison is impressed by her student’s make-up. “One of the things that impresses me about LeeAnn that I have seen in very few women of her age, or any age for that matter, is most want to look good,” Alison said.

It will be a busy summer for four members of the Trinity Western Spartans volleyball team as the quartet has been named to Canada’s national women’s A and B teams. Trinity Western middle Alicia Perrin, outside hitter Royal Richardson and setter Lauren Moncks were named to the team after impressive performances during Canada’s selection camp last week at the Univeristy of Manitoba’s Investors Group Athletic Centre. Forty-nine players attended the selection camp, which ran May 21-25. The trio joins Spartans setter Kelci French who was already with Canada’s senior side. “For these girls, this is a fantastic opportunity for them in terms of personal development,” said Spartans coach Ryan Hofer. “They’ll be training in a competitive environment that will help push them and allow them to take their game to another level and, at the same time, this is going to be huge for our program as they’ll return having played at such a high level for at least an extra month this summer. These girls have worked hard and it’s great to see them rewarded for their efforts.” This summer both the A and the B teams will train together for a one month period. In late June the A team will officially be selected and the B team will return to their hometowns. The A squad will then continue training and compete in some exhibition matches against Team Argentina in Winnipeg from July 7-10. Both Team Canada and Team Argentina will be preparing for the NORCECA Pan Am Cup in Mexico – a qualification event for the 2013 World Grand Prix – which both teams will be leaving for on July 11.

TRYOUT TIME

Langley’s LeeAnn Harper captured top spot in both the junior and the open division at the Western Canadian bodybuilding championships in Kelowna. “But most are not willing to do what it takes to get it (done). “With LeeAnn, you tell her what to do and it’s done.” As for Harper’s long-term goals, she just wants to continue spreading the word about the importance of fitness. Whether she has a competition or not, she works out a minimum of two hours a day with weights and cardio.

“It is just part of me,” she says about working out. “My goal is to influence as many people to get into the best shape that the can and be the best that they can be with their health.” She also has her own website, www. leeannharper.com where she offers fitness and coaching tips and the website for her work is www.crossfitlangley.com.

It is tryout time for Team Fraser Valley’s boys’ volleyball squads. The zone 3 coaching staff is looking for male players born in 1997 or 1998 to represent the Fraser Valley at the B.C. Summer Games this July in Surrey. The selection camp runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday (June 3) at Surrey’s Earl Marriott Secondary School (15751 16 Ave.). The Fraser Valley zone stretches from Hope to Coquitlam. There could potentially be two teams representing the Fraser Valley, meaning up to 24 boys will be selected to participate in the Summer Games, which run July 19-22. Please confirm attendance prior to the camp by emailing coachchris@ hotmail.ca. Check-in is at 9:30 a.m. and all campers should bring $60 for the camp selection fee as well as their own lunch. Cheques can be made payable to Chris Hartmann.

After three years away from home, Langley’s Jakob Reichert (middle) will get the chance to play in front of family and friends next season for the Langley Rivermen. Reichart was acquired by the junior A hockey club in a trade with the Merritt Centennials.

Rivermen land Reichert Chiefs, and am just so excited to play in my hometown,” he said. “I was pretty surprised to hear I was traded, but I had a feeling it could happen and when I heard I was going to Langley, I was so pumped because I have heard nothing but good things about the organization.” Reichert is a a six-foot-four 230-pound power forward who turns 19 in September. He had 14 goals and 27 points last season in 58 games for Merritt, as well as six assists in nine playoff games. Plevy, who turns 18 in November, has 13 goals and 43 points in 58 games for the Rivermen. Plevy has already secured an NCAA scholarship to Merrimack

College. Pare had six goals and 14 points in 59 games, his first full BCHL season. Prior to playing in the BCHL, Reichert won a Kootenay International Junior Hockey League championship as a rookie 16-year-old with the Revelstoke Grizzlies in 2010. Rivermen head coach and general manger Bobby Henderson has had his eye on Reichert for awhile. “We attempted to get him, but the timing wasn’t right at the time,” Henderson said. “But we got him now we are thrilled to have him. “Jakob fills a need for us up front and overall is a character kid that is a leader and has pro potential written all over him.”

While one local junior A hockey player is coming home to Langley, another is leaving. The Langley Rivermen continue their off-season roster shuffle as they ready for the drop of the puck for the 2012/13 BCHL season. The most recent move is the acquisition of Jakob Reichert from the Merritt Centennials. Going the other way is another Langley product, Austin Plevy, as well as Surrey’s Sebastien Pare. Both are forwards. Reichert said he was excited when he found out about the trade. “I grew up in Langley and watched the Langley organizations very closely, like the Langley Hornets, the Langley

James Rahe, Brett Dobray and Brandon Bull combined for eight goals 17 points as the junior A lacrosse team won for the third time in four games, 14-10 over the visiting Burnaby Jr. Lakers at the Langley Events Centre. The win improves Langley to 3-4 in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League standings. The Thunder actually trailed 4-3 after one period and fell behind by a pair of goals in the second before erupting for

11 of the final 16 goals. Rahe led the charge with four goals and an assist while Dobray had three goals and four points for a sevenpoint night. Bull played set-up man for most of the game, finishing with a goal and four helpers. Also hitting the scoresheet were William Vanden Hooven (one goal, two assists), Nick Stone (two goals, one assist), Matt Messenger (one goal, one assist) and Adam Will and Nathan Henare with a goal apiece. Next up for the Thunder is a pair of games this weekend, Saturday (June 2) against Nanaimo and Sunday in Burnaby.

Betty Gilbert Raptors’ Ash Hotti eludes a tackle against the Clayburn Cougars during last week’s Fraser Valley Grade 8 rugby championships held at Abbotsford’s Yale Secondary. The Raptors captured third place thanks to a 34-22 victory.

Foster earns honours Brooklyn Foster earned all-tournament honours for the Canisius College Golden Griffins. The former member of the Langley Blaze went 6-for14 over the four games in helping the Golden Griffins finish second at the 2012 MAAC Championships in Troy, New York. The Golden Griffins fell 3-2 in 11 innings to the Manhattan College Jaspers in the title game on Sunday (May 27). Foster is a junior catcher on the team and one of two former Langley Blaze members on the Canisius College roster. The other is freshman outfielder Mike Krische. Foster hit .225 for the season, with two home runs and 21 RBIs as he started 39 games and played in 52.

Krische hit .255 with 11 RBIs in 38 games started and 45 games overall. The Golden Griffins finished the season with a 33-27 overall record. Both Foster and Krische are playing for the Langley Sr. Blaze this summer. ••••• The Langley Senior Blaze are off to a tough start, dropping their first three games of the Pacific International League baseball season. A big problem for the team, which consists of local university and college players home for the summer, is an inability to score runs. The Blaze managed just three runs total as they dropped all three games they played against the Coquitlam Angels. The first game was May 23

at McLeod Park and the Angels won with two runs in the top of the seventh inning to snap a 1-1 tie. Bob Foerster’s RBI single scored Tyler Barlow for the lone Langley run. The teams reconvened at Coquitlam’s Mundy Park for a doubleheader on Sunday. The Blaze led game one 1-0 through the first five innings thanks to a Graig Merritt’s RBI double which scored Ryan Jensen. But the Angels struck for three runs in the bottom of the sixth to take the win. And in game two, Coquitlam led throughout, with Langley scoring one run in the top of the seventh when Jesse Peters drove home Brad Ferraro. Ferraro finished 3-for-3 with a run scored. The Blaze are in Kelowna for four games this weekend.

Red-hot Blaze keep winning With the baseball season into the second half, the Langley Blaze are showing no signs of cooling off. The Blaze posted back-to-back shutouts on Saturday, defeating the North Delta Blue Jays 3-0 and 10-0 on Saturday at Mackie Park in B.C. Premier (U18) Baseball League action. Langley improved to 24-5 and sit atop the standings with a three-

game lead. In the opener, the Blaze scored a single run in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, to take advantage of two North Delta errors to score a pair of unearned runs. Preston Kokotailo has the lone Langley RBI with a solo home run. Bill Germaine and Matt Cratty both belted doubles. On the mound, one

run was more than enough for Marc Andre Habeck as he scattered four hits over seven innings in the shutout win. He also struck out six as he improved to 6-0 while lowering his earned run average to 1.40. The second game was over early as the Blaze put up six runs in the second inning. Tyler O’Neill led the way with four RBIs as

he finished just a home run away from hitting for the cycle. Greg Rodgers also has a pair of RBIs while Aaron Horanski drove in one run. Jon Bauer picked up the win, improving to 6-1, with four solid innings of work. His ERA dropped to 0.81. Both Bauer and Habeck are tied for the league-lead with six victories.

Junior Blaze bats leading the way The Langley Jr. Blaze bats are in full swing as they have put together a threegame winning streak. The U16 baseball team scored 27 runs over three games as they pushed their lead atop the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League standings to two games with a 16-5 record. The Blaze defeated the Abbotsford Jr. Cardinals 9-7 in extra innings on May 24, when Matthew Reston delivered a bases-loaded single to score a pair of runs. Langley won despite

committing eight errors, which resulted in five unearned runs for the Cardinals. Danny Hollins picked up the win, pitching three innings with five strikeouts. The Blaze followed that up with a Saturday doubleheader at McLeod Park against the Vancouver Cannons. Again, the Langley squad

needed extra innings in the opener, with Liam Godfrey’s RBI single scoring Hollins, who was on base with a double. Hollins and Andre Pelletier both had a pair of RBIs in the victory. Mason Verge earned the win, allowing just a single hit and no runs over two and one third innings of work. He also struck out three

as Langley pitchers fanned a dozen Cannon batters. The second game saw Langley rally from an early 2-0 deficit, scoring twice in the third and then four runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings of the 10-4 victory. Matthew Whieldon and Eric Broatch both drove in a pair of runs while Kyle Ross threw a complete game. Langley is back in action this weekend as they host the Okanagan Jr. Athletics (2-10) in a four-game set at McLeod Park, with two games on both days.

BRETT, Jonathan

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of our dear son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend, Jonathan George Brett, on May 18, 2012 in Quesnel, BC at the age of 17. From the moment Jonathan entered the world on June 22, 1994 he was deeply loved. A quiet young man, Jonathan was most at home sitting with his family, listening and laughing, going for walks, and playing games or working on his computer. He was a master at cards, and could play his game and everyone else’s at the table at the same time. He enjoyed biking, watching movies, boating, snowboarding (even in the freezing rain), and playing chess. He felt a deep connection to animals and loved his dog Mercedes. For several years his Ouma took him twice a week to the Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Centre. His very favourite horse was called 'Red'.
