Tree faller plunges to his death
Clear sailing for Rolfe at B.C. track and field championships
NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
Gord GOBLE/for The Times
Walnut Grove’s Hannah Rolfe clears the bar during her high jump attempt at the B.C. high school track and field championships at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. Rolfe, a Grade 8 student, placed fifth in the competition. More coverage on page 35.
WorkSafe BC investigators are probing the death of a man as he attempted to bring down a 130 foot Douglas fir in Aldergrove. He was in the bucket of a boom at a height of approximately 80 feet when the mishap occurred. “While trying to bring down the tree, the bucket in which he was working separated from the boom and the worker and the bucket fell to the ground,” said Donna Freeman, who speaks for WorkSafe BC. The man was employed by Freelance Tree Services, she said. WorkSafe BC investigators were at the North Otter area property on Thursday evening, and the B.C. Coroners Service is also involved in an investigation, Freeman said.
Man eaten by bear was convicted killer Rory Wagner, whose body was buried by a black bear near Kamloops had murdered a Langley man in 1993 TIM PETRUK Black Press
The man whose body was dismembered and partially eaten by a black bear south of Kamloops was a convicted murderer from the Lower Mainland, who in 1993 killed a Langley man he thought had sexually abused a member of his family, Black Press has learned. Kamloops regional coroner Mark Coleman confirmed the identity of the dead man as 54-year-old Rory Nelson Wagner, who had recently been living in Kamloops. Investigators believe Wagner sat dead in his 1986 Volkswagen Jetta, parked just off
Long Lake Road south of Knutsford, for a matter of days, likely as a result of suicide, before a bear happened upon the scene. The bear pulled the corpse from the vehicle through an open window, then buried it underneath a pile of dirt and undergrowth. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the body was “dismembered and partially eaten” when located by investigators. Mounties were alerted to the scene by hunters, who made the grisly find at about 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 30. Police said at the time the black bear was still in the area protecting the corpse. Investigators removed the body from the site late Wednesday night.
Conservation officers set up bear traps in the area, hoping to catch the bruin that buried Wagner’s body. The bear was put down on the weekend. An autopsy and toxicology test on Wagner took place Friday. In 1996, Black Press has learned, Wagner was one of three men who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in relation to the death of a Langley man. Three years earlier, in 1993, Andy Kohlman was found not guilty on sexual assault charges allegedly committed against one of Wagner’s relatives. Wagner, along with his younger brother, Roland Robert Wagner, and another man,
Gerald Peter Beaugrand, kidnapped and murdered Kohlman after the not guilty verdict. Kohlman had been beaten to death. His body was dumped in the Fraser Valley. Wagner, his brother and Beaugrand were initially charged with first degree murder and kidnapping. They pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of second degree murder on the day their trial was slated to begin in New Westminster. At the time of his death, Wagner would have still been bound by parole conditions as a result of the murder conviction. continued, PAGE 5

Ambulances unlikely to install oxygen test kits MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
The B.C.Ambulance Service will review but not likely implement a coroner’s jury recommendation to install oxygen test kits in all ambulances. One of the 15 recommendations a jury made in the coroner’s inquest into the mushroom farm deaths of three workers was for paramedics to have access to an oxygen sensor, so they can test the air quality before entering confined spaces to help injured people. In the 2008 Langley mushroom composting farm tragedy, paramedics were first on the scene. Three workers had succumbed to toxic gases released in a brown water shed
where they were working. Two other workers went in to help and suffered severe brain damage and are permanently injured from inhaling the toxic gas. Following their training procedures and protocols, paramedics knew it was unsafe to try and rescue any of the men. “The Langley mushroom farm incident was a tragic event and our thoughts are with the families who have lost their loved ones,” said BCAS spokesperson Kelsie Carwithen. The reason BCAS does not equip its ambulances with atmospheric test kits is the primary role of a paramedic is patient care, not testing and being the judge of hazardous conditions, said Carwithen. “Paramedics are not trained or equi-
pped to enter locations that involve hazardous conditions. In the case of the Langley mushroom farm incident, paramedics assessed the confined space with assistance from a BCAS technical advisor (similar to all calls involving hazardous conditions). Paramedics were then advised then not to enter the location,” said Carwithen. In incidents that do involve hazardous conditions, there are processes and procedures that ensure paramedics are able to provide high-quality patient care in a safe environment. When BCAS responds to calls where the scene is not safe, it relies on police, fire and its own technical advisors to determine when the scene is safe for paramedics to enter and treat patients.
A three-day safety blitz inspecting commercial vehicles resulted in 1,845 trucks being inspected and 814 tickets being handed out last week. Members of the Langley RCMP traffic services in partnership with the Ministry of Transportation and WorkSafe BC selected 169 trucks for further inspection, of which 76 required minor repairs and 53 required repair before being allowed back on the road. Log book violations was the most common infraction, at 39 out of the 169 pulled over. There were 31 vehicle defects, 24 insecure loads and 12 overweight. Of the commercial trucks pulled over, 43 drivers were ticketed for using their cellphones, 76 were given speeding tickets, 61 had driver’s license infractions and 91 weren’t using seatbelts. RCMP officers checked the trailers to ensure the cargo was properly secured and that any hazardous materials were being safely transported in accordance with provincial legislation. “Even though this initiative resulting in a large number of violation tickets (814), it is important to remember the overwhelming majority of vehicles checked were being operated in a professional manner,” said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. “There has been an increase in serious injuries and/or fatal collisions involving commercial vehicles.”

A Caring Community Your next decision could enhance your lifestyle for the rest of your life.
Go golden to go green Go golden to stay green: That is the challenge that will be issued in south Willoughby this summer. Every year, the Township teams up with Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS) for Water Wise, a program that delivers water conservation education and advice right to residents’ doors. An initiative of the Township’s Water Resources Management Strategy, Water Wise focuses on a specific community each year, teaches residents about the importance of local groundwater resources and provides practical information on how to save water. Five years ago, the program started issuing a Water Conservation Challenge, and last summer nearly 500 Murrayville residents signed on. This summer, it is south Willoughby’s turn, and people living in single-family homes in Willowbrook, Routley, and South West Gordon Estates will be asked to reduce their water consumption. “People are receptive about being Water Wise,” said the program’s Taryn Hesketh, who noted that 86 per cent of residents approached in the past four years have pledged to reduce outdoor water consumption. “That is a trend we hope continues.”
From June to August, in addition to community events, the Water Wise team will visit more than 1,700 homes to encourage residents to limit lawn watering to “one hour or one inch” per week — or even better, to stop watering altogether and let the grass “go golden.” Lawn lovers will be happy to learn that grass isn’t fazed by going golden. It comes back greener than ever in the fall. “Water use typically doubles in the summer.There are many uses that contribute to this increase, but lawn watering accounts for a lot of it,” said Water Wise’s Jason Paul. It is estimated that an hour of sprinkling may use up to 2,100 litres of water. Residents who accept the Water Conservation Challenge will be given a lawn sign and those who take the pledge to “Go Golden” and not water at all will get a gold star for their extra commitment. It is hoped the lawn signs will get neighbours talking about not over-watering their lawns this summer. Roughly 50 per cent of the Township’s municipal water comes from groundwater and the other half is piped from Metro Vancouver’s Coquitlam reservoir. Even if this spring has been rainy and wet, water levels

in aquifers and reservoirs can quickly become depleted when the weather turns hot and consumption reaches its peak. “Reservoirs can only hold so much water, and it takes many years to recharge an aquifer if it’s been depleted,” Hesketh said. Residents looking for other ways to get Water Wise can take advantage of subsidized rain barrels and water conservation kits that the Township offers its residents. Rain barrels can be purchased for $35 at the Township Operations Centre or the Civic Facility. Water conservation kits — which are $15 for the outdoor set and $10 for indoor — are available any time at nearly all Township facilities. Conservation kits and rain barrels can also be purchased during the Backyard Composter and Rain Barrel Truckload Sales Event, in the Costco parking lot in Willowbrook on June 23. For more information, visit tol.ca/composter. As well, Metro Vancouver has made changes to residential lawn sprinkling regulations. Stage 1 is in effect June 1 to Sept. 30. Even numbered addresses are allowed to sprinkle Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday from 4 a.m. – 9 a.m. only. Odd numbered addresses are allowed to water only on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday from 4 a.m. – 9 a.m.

FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice
eds TransLink reconsiders canClassifi take you places! scrapping TaxiSavers
JEFF NAGEL Black Press
TransLink is tapping the brakes on its plan to phase out its TaxiSaver program for elderly or disabled HandyDart clients after strong opposition from those affected. The transportation authority now says it will hold a new round of consultations and back off on the planned one-year timeline to eliminate the program, which offers $50 a month in taxi subsidies. TransLink said it would take the $1.1 million a year it now injects into TaxiSavers and instead invest more into HandyDart service, providing an estimated 20,000 more rides per year that way. Some of the money would be used to dispatch taxis to provide rides when HandyDart is unavailable. The original decision was endorsed by the Access Transit Users Advisory Committee. But different users objected to the plan, arguing TaxiSavers were more flexible than booking a HandyDart ride, which must often be done several days ahead.
Users also fear the new system may end up being more expensive or that they may face more pressure to take regular transit. “We have now heard from other users about their concerns and recognize we need to listen to more people,”TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said Wednesday. More than 18,000 HandyDart trip requests were denied last year because the service was oversubscribed and that problem has worsened this year. TransLink will reconsider now best to use the money that has been going to TaxiSavers, officials said. “Investing in HandyDart service is the right thing to do, and this will help us serve more people,” Jarvis said. “We understand that there is a growing need to provide more public transportation options for people with disabilities and special needs.” The coupons for half-price taxi rides were being stockpiled by users, resulting in a growing liability for TransLink, and officials said there was no way to prevent reselling to unauthorized users.
‘Family has been through enough’ from PAGE 1
Police have said they believe Wagner had been living in Kamloops, but had not been seen since May 23. After the online version of this story was published, The Times received a letter from a friend of Wagner’s, Michelle Beaugrand. She stated that bringing up Wagner’s murder conviction was “not appropriate” and makes it difficult for his surviving family members.
“The family has been through enough,” she said. “There has been enough hurt caused to a great many people over the years over this whole debacle. “I am not condoning what any of the three have done, but people make mistakes and he paid his due and served his time.” She also pointed out that Wagner’s brother Roland, who was also convicted in the murder, had died earlier.

he RCMP has come in for some intense criticism in recent weeks, but it’s also worthwhile noting that the force did an outstanding job last week in dealing with a young man armed with a high-powered rifle, who was suspected of killing two people and wounding a third. The full chronology is worth repeating, as it shows how effectively police were able to deal with this case, and how they took public safety very seriously. On Sunday evening, May 27, a passerby noticed a body in a Burnaby sushi house. Police investigated and found that two people were dead. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, which is mainly made up of RCMP officers and works in most Lower Mainland municipalities, was called in and did extensive investigation on Monday. On Tuesday, May 29, a Burnaby man was shot in front of his home by a former tenant, armed with a rifle. He had evicted the tenant six months earlier, and the young man had been living in his van ever since. The man was seriously injured, but police were able to recover evidence which suggested a link to the double murder. The following day, Burnaby RCMP issued a public warning that Angus Mitchell was armed, dangerous, living in his van and possibly working through a list of people he had issues with. They gave details about his van, including the licence number, and warned anyone who had associated with him in the past to be very cautious. Less than an hour later, police received a tip that the van was in a rural area of Maple Ridge. They moved in, tried to get Mitchell to surrender, and shot him after he shot at them. He later died. While it is tragic that he was shot, police could not take chances with a man they suspected of shooting three people in the past three days. Once he began shooting, they had to return fire. The RCMP did an outstanding job in quickly investigating the two shooting incidents, and then fitting the evidence together. Most importantly, they issued a public and detailed warning. This allowed the matter to be dealt with quickly, because there is little doubt that Mitchell would have tried to kill someone else quite quickly. The RCMP deserve commendation for a job well done. They protected the public and solved two very serious crimes. While they would say it’s all part of the job, it’s not an easy job. It was a job well done.

t’s official. Get ready to put your work tools down — be they a hammer, pen, or serving tray — and spend more time with your kin next February as the B.C. government announced the latest statutory holiday, Family Day, is scheduled for the second week of the month. In 2013, Feb. 11 is the date. It’s also the date Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington, fellow independent MLA Bob Simpson, and newly-minted B.C. Tory John van Dongen say is too costly for the economy to bear. They believe the government is wrong to offer the people something plenty of other parts of the country already enjoy — a much-needed break in a dreary and dark winter month. Van Dongen says the holiday will not create a single new job. Was it supposed to? It will cost the business community in B.C. an estimated $62 million and place increased pressure on budgets — especially those running a small business they say. Well, that’s assuming everyone enjoying the break stays at home and asks meekly for another lump of coal for the fire. But what do many of us do over a long weekend? Those keen on hitting the malls will do just that — and plenty of retail operations will likely be more than willing to entice them to shop with some keen price promotions. Some of us will dine out, ordering something sumptuous, and hopefully tipping well when good service is provided. All of that will add up to some economic activity. But the biggest return from all of this isn’t the money we spend on food, entertainment, consumer goods, or outdoor recreation. It’s the theme of the holiday that should pay dividends here. It will provide families stressed by the hectic pace of school, work and other activities the opportunity to spend some quality time with each other. —South Delta Leader (Black Press) The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

MP not helping rainforest
Co-worker puts in a good word Editor: I would like to respond to the letter from S. Seipp regarding a HandyDart driver. I was shocked as I read through the description of this encounter, because I couldn’t begin to imagine this driver behaving this way. I’m a co-worker of this driver and have known him for three years. In that time, even in some stressful situations, I’ve never seen him do or say anything remotely like this. In fact, I have had numerous clients tell me how kind, caring and gentle he is with everyone and how much they enjoy traveling with him. Perhaps Saip sincerely believes that she understood the situation, but I’m certain that she completely misinterpreted the driver’s words and demeanour, as well as the client’s response. I’m very sure that what this person
thought was smugness was in fact shock and that what this person interpreted as rudeness was actually the driver trying to explain something so the client could avoid possible future inconvenience. It saddens me deeply that this citizen made assumptions based on a partial conversation which she entered into angrily, without actually trying to understand what was being said or why, and then proceeded to voice them in such a public forum in a clear attempt to ruin the reputation of a kind, gentle man who puts his whole heart into caring for people every day. I do hope that person will consider this before jumping to conclusions in the future. A. Bennett, Langley
Editor: I find it extremely ironic that our Member of Parliament, Mark Warawa was giving away free native trees outside of Home Depot in Langley this weekend, as part of Canadian Environment Week, considering the Conservative government’s position on the building of pipelines to transport crude oil from the Alberta tar sands to the Great Bear Rainforest. The Great Bear is the world’s largest intact coastal rainforest. It provided habitat to thousands of native plant and animal species, some of which, like the spirit bear, can be found nowhere else in the world. Countless species of migratory birds, whales and other sea mammals rely on these pristine waterways to get to and from their feeding and breeding grounds every year. If the proposed plan to build a pipeline is allowed, oil tankers, for the first time ever, would traverse the waterways adjacent to the pristine shores of the Great Bear Rainforest, loaded with dirty tar sands crude, destined for Asia. This would put at risk all native plant and animal species and undermine and jeopardise the conservation efforts and gains that have been made. It is not “if an accident or spill” would occur in these waters, with these super tankers, but when. Think of an Exxon Valdez-type of disaster, multiplied by 10. This would have unimaginable consequences for our coastal forests, our waterways, our communities and our economy. Giving away free native trees to British Columbians is preaching to the choir, and is frankly, extremely insulting. I strongly urge our government to have the foresight and ingenuity to move forward with a plan that will move British Columbia and Canada into a green, sustainable future and protect and cherish what we still have. Say “No” to the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal and to super tankers on our coast. Sandy Kohlman, Langley

Co-workers of the HandyDart driver mentioned in a letter last week have come to his defence.
Letter writer did not understand the situation Editor: After reading the letter about my coworker, and speaking to him, I have to respond. This was a complete misunderstanding and overreaction. I knew that immediately. I know this driver and he is held in high esteem by his peers, as well as our passengers. We do our job with great pride and our passengers are treated with the respect and dignity due to them. I appreciate the fact the
writer felt she was standing up for an elderly person, but she misunderstood the situation. I always tell my passengers that I will take their many bags (she had more than one bag), but TransLink’s policy is, you can only take what you can hold on your lap. HandyDart drivers go above and beyond every day for their passengers, and do this with love and respect. This is not training.
This is who we are. We’re not paid high wages, we do this job because we love our passengers. I am proud of what I do and know this driver is also. I am proud to work with him and know he always treats our passengers the same as all HandyDart drivers do, with respect. Teri Shigley, Langley
Most HandyDart drivers give good service Editor: I read S. Seipp’s letter in your May 29 publication and I thank her for bringing to our attention the poor conduct of the one HandyDart driver. I have been a regular passenger on Handy Dart for the past year and have ridden with a large number of drivers, however none named Luke. I would like to put in a kind word for the 99 per cent of drivers who have
displayed courtesy and care to me and many aged and disabled passengers. In conversation, I have asked many of them how they like their job. Everyone that I asked said much the same thing, that they get a great deal of satisfaction out of helping aged and disabled people get out and around. I have seen drivers carefully deliver passengers right to their door, then give them a hug
before they leave. I do not doubt S. Seipp’s remarks, and in fact agree with the points made. However, I feel compelled to once again point out that the large majority of drivers should not be judged by the one per cent who dispay poor conduct. B.R. “Doc” Street, Langley
A name change will not hide the problem Editor: Charlatans are always trying to pull the wool over our eyes. Christy Clark’s BC Liberals are trying to do the same thing by changing their name before the next provincial election.
Clark recently suggested John Cummins, the BC Conservative leader, should “join the real world.” How ironic, coming from her. If Clark had been the captain of the Titanic when it struck the iceberg, she would have
conferred with her high-paid staff and then summoned a painter to change the name of the floundering ship. Which “real world” is she living in? Lloyd Atkins, Vernon
Thanks to all who responded to Iron Chef fire Editor: The Iron Chef Sushi Ichi of Fort Langley (9145 Glover Road) would like to express our deepest gratitude to all those who have contributed to extinguishing the fire on Sunday morning (May 27). Special thank yous to the people who notified 911 upon discovering the fire, the Langley RCMP, The
and the awesome teamwork of the Langley firefighters who prevented the restaurant from being burnt to a crisp. Though it will take some time to repair the damage, we appreciate all the efforts that were made regarding this situation. We hope to resume smoothly and continue to serve
our wonderful customers with delicious food once our restaurant is up and running. Thank you once again for all of your support and prayers. Peggy, Louis and the family, Iron Chef Sushi Ichi

Mayors in line for more pay
JEFF NAGEL Black Press
Two new seats on TransLink’s board of directors which the province has earmarked for the chair and vice-chair of the Metro Vancouver mayors’ council will give them roughly $60,000 in extra pay. But North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton, the council’s chair, says he’s not yet sure he can accept the position, adding the optics of the additional pay is just one of his concerns. “That’s problematic,” he said. “An extra $60,000 is more than some mayors in the region make.” Walton said he’s particularly concerned about stretching him-
self too thin, noting the duties of a TransLink director are complex and would come on top of his other roles as vice-chair of the Metro Vancouver board and the chair of the the Mayors Council on Regional Transportation, which he said devoured 400 hours of his time last year. “It’s a time commitment issue,” he said. Another is whether mayors’ council reps who also serve on TransLink’s board can keep the two sets of duties straight and not find themselves in conflict. In contrast, vice-chair Peter Fassbender, the mayor of Langley City, said he has no hesitation taking his seat and plans to do so as soon as possible, provided he

remains in his role as vice-chair. “I’m not going there because I’m going to get extra pay,” he said. “I want this to work. I’m prepared to put in the effort.” Fassbender said he has already been attending most TransLink board meetings for months at the invitation of the board. “I’ve been putting in the effort without the extra pay because I believe it’s important for the region to do that,” he said. Fassbender said it’s a valuable chance for better communication between the TransLink board and the mayors, and he doesn’t think the council should wait on taking up the seats until next January, when the chair and vice-chair positions come up for election.
Police warn of scams MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Langley RCMP are warning seniors living in gated communities and in condo complexes about an scam artist asking to clean ducts and then threatening his elderly victims. This man, described to be Caucasian and in his early 40s, often will say he has been hired by the strata to come clean the unit’s ducts. Once the work is completed, payment is demanded and if the resident refuses to pay, the suspect becomes quite confrontational and threatening, said Lan-
gley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. “Sadly, charges are rarely forwarded to Crown Counsel as the victim is often too frightened to follow through,” said Marks. This suspect is approximately 5’8” tall, weighing 200 pounds with brown eyes and balding hair. If an “inspector” arrives at your home offering to do duct work, don’t allow him into your home, said police. If you have been victimized by this man but haven’t phoned police, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Olympian talks teamwork, butterflies Swimmer offers words of wisdom to Langley elementary students NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
Natasha JONES/Langley Times
Martha McCabe received dozens of maple leaves that had been decorated with good luck messages from students at Gordon Greenwood Elementary.
Teamwork and never giving up are key qualities that will lead to success, swimmer Martha McCabe told a packed gym at Gordon Greenwood Elementary on Wednesday. “Always use each other as a positive thing and work with each other to move forward,” said McCabe.
“Supporting each other always gives you this new power.” McCabe, a Toronto native who now lives in Vancouver, is one of Canada’s great hopes for the Summer Olympics which open in London on July 27 and run until Aug. 12. A competitor in the 200m breaststroke, McCabe was asked the inevitable question about nerves on competition days. She surprised many with her answer: She makes butterflies in her tummy work to her advantage because nerves force her to focus on swimming well. The students can use that strategy, too, she suggested. “In school, if you want to do some-
thing well you can’t be distracted,” she said. Her attitude, work ethic, and four hours a day in the pool has led McCabe to what may be the biggest event of her life. And, she told the students,“to qualify for the Olympics is really special.” McCabe was invited to the school by teacher Ronda Salli whose daughters Chelsey and Rochelle are both competitive swimmers.They both took part in Olympic trials. Gordon Greenwood Elementary has a large number of students who belong to the Langley Olympians swim club. The school is close to the Walnut Grove Recreation Centre where the club trains and hosts competitions.

Langley Together unveiled An effort to co-ordinate the work done by Langley non-profit organizations has culminated with the naming of an organization called Langley Together. The new name was announced at a meeting on Tuesday, May 29 at Murrayville Hall. There were close to 60 people in attendance, from all areas of the non-profit sector. The meeting heard from Dave Stark on local research and findings of a formal needs assessment. Jim Marvel from the Township spoke on volunteerism in other municipalities.

It takes place on July 26 at Williams Park, in partnership with local Vancity branches. More information is available from Stark at dave_stark@shaw. ca.

They were Bruce McCloy, chair, District Parent Advisory Council, Langley Education Community Roundtable Initiative; Rev.

The squadron has partnered with Valley Aero Engines at Langley Airport, which has agreed to provide office, classroom, and storage space in its hangar for the 80 cadets and their Cadet Instructor Cadre staff. The announcement comes after an three-year search which began in 2010, when the squadron was uprooted from the Canadian Forces Detachment in Aldergrove
because of the Olympic Security operation being run from there. The squadron outgrew temporary facilities at the Canadian Museum of Flight, and was accommodated by Envision Financial at its administration facility. “We couldn’t be happier with the end result,” stated Captain Sean Kelly, the squadron’s commanding officer. The announcement was made to the cadets at their 48th annual ceremonial review on Saturday. ADVERTISEMENT

This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had finally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues. “I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian. Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end. Although she had experienced some relief through the numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away. “She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone - as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.” By now you are probably wondering what is LeafSource and why is it so effective? LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the inflammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself. The vast majority (70 - 80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems — often called osteoarthritis. This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops through the aging process. With joint infl ammation, movement is limited and pain can be constant. LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back. Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and inflammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects.
These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!? LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive anti-infl ammatory drugs that cause more problems than they solve. There are absolutely no side effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent antiinflammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction to inflammation and pain within a few days. People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day. Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily. This product gets results! LeafSource is scientifically validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. Aside from its incredible anti-infl ammatory and pain reducing ability, it has also been shown to improve the performance of your daily nutrition and vitamin programs. It helps increase the absorption of vital nutrients, which in turn helps these nutrients work better. Better absorption = better results! It’s almost as if they have become supercharged! LeafSource has also been shown to help enhance energy levels, improve intestinal health, strengthen hair, skin and nails and improve immune function. To see someone go from intense pain to a new lease on life within a week is truly incredible. Imagine being able to move freely without pain. Who wouldn’t want to get out of bed in the morning with more energy? It’s amazing how much of this stuff we take for granted, until it’s gone! Ian adds, “I often recommend that Leaf- Source be taken with other natural joint products in order to help them work better and provide even faster relief. One of the things I hear most often from people who have www.leafsource.com tried LeafSource is they just plain feel better, have more energy and less pain. We’re so confi dent, we guarantee LeafSource 100%! That alone should be enough to try this incredible product.”

Canuck comes out for KCH year-end party Surprise visit from Manny Malhotra thrills volunteers NATASHA JONES
Times Reporter
When Sean Thomas organized the yearend meeting for Kids Can Help, he had a surprise or two in store for members and their parents. One was to reveal just how much KCH has raised this year, and the other was a visit from Fin, the Vancouver Canucks mascot. Then the sports club had a surprise for Thomas and his team of young boys — centre Manny Malhotra. There were smiles and cheers when Malhotra attended the meeting and celebration of KCH at the Blair Recreation Centre on May 29. Ten-year-old Sean started the charity when he was only seven, spurred by the desire to help youngsters at B.C. Children’s Hospital. “The first year of the KCH program I distributed cans to my friends and family (and) 100 per cent of the money raised went to my program,” he said. In that year, he and his friends raised $1,500. “The second year of the KCH program was really exciting because so many kids were starting to believe in the KCH program, so I started the KCH team. Everyone worked so hard distributing cans,” Sean said. He recorded a CD called Your Love and added a mascot called Can Man. One hundred per cent of proceeds went to KCH which raised $2,500 in its second year.
Natasha JONES/Langley Times
Fin, the Vancouver Canucks’ mascot, takes a bite out of Jacob Sol of Kids Can Help, the young people’s charity that supports Children’s Hospital. With the enthusiasm of 25 children and Can Man, the third year of KCH included a talent show, bottle drive, garage sale, car wash, coin drive, and a donation from Slater Vecchio, a law firm in Vancouver. Their employees had a coin drive and raised more than $2,752 which the company matched “Then we had to increase our goal to $10,000,” Sean said. “Everyone worked so hard and we even surpassed our goal and raised $15,300.01.” “I feel so lucky there are so many awesome kids who believe in the KCH program and they want to help the kids at the B.C. Children’s Hospital,” he said. “Through the KCH program I met so

many people who inspire me. One special person was an 11-year-old girl named Samantha Mantyka. Samantha had brain and spinal cancer. She was so brave and always had a smile on her face.” She died on July 31, 2011. Some of the Kids Can Help team have needed the B.C. Children’s Hospital “and I think kids are very lucky to have such an amazing hospital,” he said. Besides Sean and Can Man Kevin Kotai, the Kids Can Help team members are Erin McPhail, David McPhail, Jacob Sol,Alex Sol, Mathew Baines, Madison Baines, Meredith Willows, Tenaya Trowell, Tamzen Trowell, Sarah Flitton, Joseph Flitton, Megan Bakker, James Bakker, Joon Hwang, Hayley Smith, Devon Holcroft, Dawson Kroeger, Avalon Kroeger, Amy Dewolff, Alivia Bourget, Yilian Zhao, Matthew Marshall and Miranda Chyzzy. Malhotra shook hands with every member and later signed autographs and handed out team photos. He called Sean “unbelievably mature and charismatic.” Has he ever seen someone so young achieve so much? “I’ve got to say no,” Malhotra said. That Sean would initiate something so big at the age of seven speaks to his selflessness, he said. “He’s far beyond his years.” The children’s next big event, after the June 2 Variety Club Telethon appearance, is taking part in the Resound School of Music’s outdoor recitals at Douglas Park Spirit Square on June 23. Sean is a student of the school which offers in-the-home classes. The KCH team will be having a candy/ cookies/drink sale, silent auction, and face painting to start off its 2012-2013 fundraising season.

Raw food for thought LFAS students offered sample of uncooked fare NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
The sight of massive kale leaves may give the average Grade 6 student gut-churning nausea if, that is, they have even come across the vegetable. After all, bundling kale with others of the brassica family, such as cabbage, broccoli and sprouts, doesn’t inspire many immature palates. But when the Grade 6 students of Fran McLeod’s class at Langley Fine Arts School were offered kale chips, it gave them food for thought — raw food for thought, in fact. Teresa Holoman of Tasty Raw Chef
demonstrated the versatile ways that kale, the new superfood on the table, and other fruits and vegetables can be used. Using chard, Holoman tossed the leaves in a blender, added fresh pineapple, bananas, mango and water to make a smoothie which the students loved. After making kale chips, Holoman showed how another acquired taste, avocado, can be made into a mouthwatering chocolate mousse which is healthier than a dairy-based dessert. Scooping the avocado flesh into the blender, Holoman added agave,

medjool dates, cacao powder, raw vanilla and water to make a delicious dessert that looks and tastes like a delightfully smooth chocolate mousse. It’s difficult to detect the avocado. As the blender whirled, Holoman defined raw food: It is food that is raw or has not been heated above 150 F. Raw food also reduces the amount of water used in traditional food preparation. That element alone fitted in nicely with McLeod’s class on teaching students to be more globally aware. Millions of people either have little or no access to water, they have learned, while millions of others have access to water that is unsafe to drink. Holoman’s class was intended to give the students the tools to make changes at home, and take those changes into the world. For example, Holoman said, why not have one meat-free meal each week? It’s a practice she and her husband follow after they visited a wellness centre called Sanoviv, in Mexico. “This place changed our life forever,� she said. “It gave me a better understanding of why eating a good amount of raw food is very good for you,� she said. “Raw food has natural enzymes that we need in our bodies to break down the food so our cells can use the nutrients.When we cook food we
lose those enzymes.� she added. When they returned from Mexico, Holoman couldn’t wait to share with friends. She put together a health event and served a raw lunch, catered by Bryan from Raw BC, to more than 40 people. “They enjoyed the whole experience so much that they wanted to learn how to prepare this food for themselves in their own homes, and that is what inspired me to start the Tasty Raw Chef (tastyrawchef.com),� she said. In March, she went to New York to take a raw preparation class taught by an industry expert, and is now a certified raw food chef. She began sharing that knowledge with the first of a series of raw cooking classes in Langley City in March. Classes cover the basic equipment and supplies used to prepare raw food, and teach students how to make such basics as smoothies and almond milk, tasty dishes such as corn chips and guacamole dip, raw lasagna, and desserts. On June 22, the Tasty Raw Chef will host a pot luck of raw dishes. The event, which starts at 6:30 p.m., will feature an internationally known nutritionist and will include a demonstration on how to make a chocolate cake that requires no oven. For details on this and classes, go to www.tastyrawchef.com, email Holoman at tholoman@shaw.ca, or call her at 604-862-7606. The event is at 5794 203 St.

After-School and Summer Programs for Children There are two ways to learn in school—by listening and by reading. If your child is weak in either or both areas, school will be difficult. A child must be at least at grade level in these abilities in order to succeed in that grade. At Accomplished, we assess hundreds of struggling students each year. At least 95 percent of them are weak in listening attention and 60 percent are weak in reading. These results are supported by scientific research into the causes of learning challenges in children. Research clearly shows that learning problems are a result of language deficits: how that person listens, reads, and expresses himself or herself in writing or orally. Children with minor deficits will often be overlooked. They may be considered lazy, unmotivated, or inattentive. Many teachers may think these students are “behaviour problems.” But if reading and listening abilities are weak, schoolwork is harder than it should be and the child may be trying to escape from a bad or potentially embarrassing situation. Those children with more serious deficits may be diagnosed with Learning Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities or ADHD. These children will usually be placed on an Individual Education Plan (IEP). An IEP does not meet the
Accomplished Learning Centre is proud to be North America’s largest private provider of Scientific Learning’s family of Fast ForWord® and Reading Assistant™ products.

They attend Accomplished in the morning and early afternoon. Programs for Everyone Since 2001 Accomplished Learning Centre has been offering brain fitness programs to people of all ages. A variety of programs enables us to better meet the needs of different ages, personalities, abilities, and challenges.

— PRESIDENT’S REPORT —
n May 3 a delegation of seven Board Members went to Victoria for a very full day of meetings. In the morning, we met with Minister of Finance and Deputy Premier Kevin Falcon to discuss concerns re the shortfall in funding for transportation in our region. We also questioned the Minister on the possibility of a study of the potential impact universal or regional road tolling would have to address funding concerns however such a study is unlikely in the foreseeable future. Next we met with Minister of Jobs, Tourism & Innovation Pat Bell to discuss government programs to support small and medium sized enterprises in BC, and a progress report on the Fraser Valley Mobile Business License initiative. Minister Bell confirmed that the financials from each of the municipalities have been analyzed and that a report and recommendations from the Ministry should be completed by the end of June. Following Question Period, we met with Minister of Transportation Blair Lekstrom to talk further about transportation funding solutions, governance, tolling and an update on the Mufford Rail Overpass I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to MLA Mary Polak for arranging these most worthwhile meetings. Also last month I attended the BC Chamber of Commerce AGM and Conference in Penticton along with Vice-President Angie Quaale and Executive Director Lynn Whitehouse. The agenda for the meeting was very full and included educational sessions, Industry Presentations, Policy Sessions and a speech from Premier Christy Clark.
I am happy to report that we were successful at gaining the unanimous support of the 300+ delegates at the conference on our resolutions calling for changes to the Property Transfer Tax and Funding for the Fraser River Flood & Navigation Management. Full details on these and numerous other resolutions will be posted in our website in the very near future. In September our delegates will advance the Fraser River resolutions to the Canadian Chamber AGM and Conference to be held in Hamilton, Ontario. We were also very pleased with Premier Clark’s announcement of a new Skills-Training for Micro Businesses Program. The program will target micro-business owners who do not have any formal training beyond a high-school diploma and could benefit from tuition-free training to boost their business productivity, create jobs and help them excel in BC’s economy. Details on this unique program will be distributed to our members as soon as it is made available. It is hard to believe that the Term of Office for the current Board of Directors has completed. On June 19th we will hold the 81st AGM and elect the 2012/13 Board of Directors. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the members of the Board that I had the pleasure to serve with. We addressed many issues on behalf of the Langley business community, and introduced new programs and events to increase the suite of opportunities available to our members. We worked closely with other chambers within our region and throughout the province. I have enjoyed representing the Chamber at the municipal, provincial and federal levels and will continue to serve on the Board in the capacity of Past President. Thank you to all of the members for your support and trust; it has been a pleasure to serve as President of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce. Denni Bonetti - 2011/2012 President
— CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2012 MEMBERSHIP SURVEY DRAW WINNER — What will your retirement look like? When it comes to retirement planning, people tend to ask themselves: “what’s my number?” referring to the total dollar amount of savings. And during periods of difficult market conditions investors can become frustrated and impatient with their portfolios. Furthermore, the media only makes matters worse by emphasizing negative headline news and day to day market volatility. This is exactly the type of environment where people need to step back from the market noise and focus on the big picture. Retirement planning is a vague, long-term goal, unless you visualize specific aspects of your retirement years. By creating a clearer picture in your mind — maybe of a dream condo down south or starting a post-retirement business — it’s easier to concentrate on saving for your future. This will also help you take steps to determine how much your individual retirement will actually cost, and how much you need to save. Get started by pondering the key aspects of your retirement lifestyle, including where you will live and what activities will keep you busy. Think about each idea in some detail. For instance, if travel is on your list, do you see yourself enjoying short road trips or luxury voyages?
Life adds up. Your finances should too.
Franco Papalia Financial Advisor, Branch Manager franco.papalia@raymondjames.ca
Edwin Palsma, CFP, BBA Financial Advisor edwin.palsma@raymondjames.ca
Once you have a list, start estimating the costs and set priorities. Consider talking to friends or family who have already begun retirement since their suggestions may help.

Making
merry Ranging in age from 69 to 99 years old, The Merry Music Makers continue to pursue their passion for song MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
E
very Tuesday morning Saint Joseph’s Catholic Parish in Langley travels back in time. That’s when hits from long ago —Sentimental Journey, What a Wonderful World and Thanks for the Memories — fill the hall, entertaining visitors in line for a free lunch from the parish’s soup kitchen. Set up in a circle in a room just off the main hall are a pianist, a bass guitarist, a mandolinist, a drummer, a clarinetist and two saxophonists ranging in age from 69 to 99 years old. The Merry Music Makers — Bill Lowe, 99, Art Petite, 95, Al Wilgrube, 93, Marg Halcro, 92, Anne Balzer, 83, Hazel Coupland, 78 and Joe Sullivan, 69 — get together each week and play their favourite songs from the 1930s and ’40s for the simple joy of making music. “It was the music on their lips when they were young,” said Sullivan, the drummer. “We just have a lot of fun.” Although they may not always remember everyone’s last name, they never forget a note, playing many of the melodies from memory, rather than sheet music. “Music keeps you young,” said Petite, a saxophonist with the group. Petite, who lives in Cloverdale, learned to play during his army days while stationed in South Africa with Allied American troops during the Second World War. “I always try to think of the composers when I’m playing,” he said. “I try to get into their mind, to put a bit of feeling into it. And every composer is different.” Since the group formed in 1994, new members have joined and have transformed it into a sort of house band for the parish, playing at many of their events and fundraisers. The pianist, Halcro, who lives in Fernridge, has been with the group since the beginning. She learned to play the piano when she was three and a half years old, nearly 90 years ago. “My favourite song is Tammy (from the 1957 movie Tammy And The Bachelor),” she said in a sing-song voice. “I got my picture taken with Debbie Reynolds’ star when I was in California last week. After that I woke up one morning and that song was in my head, so I sat down and I played it and it is my favourite song now. I always like songs from movies.” Lowe, also a saxophonist, was the leader of the group until about three years ago when health concerns kept him from playing. Now living in North Vancouver, he still comes out on occasion to play with his old group. He couldn’t remember what year he started playing music, but the moment he placed
his lips to the reed his mind became as sharp as ever, playing every piece perfectly. “I have no favourites,” he said, when asked what songs he likes to play. “There are a lot of good songs from over the years.” With a lifetime of music experience behind them, the group of seven musicians play many of their favourite standards the exact same way they would have played them decades ago. Wilgrube began playing music around 1929, he said. Running his own band for years, the last group he played with, Red Velvet, entertained audiences in hotels throughout Vancouver. The gift of music runs deep in his family. His grandfather and many other relatives played with musical legend John Philip Sousa, a composer famous for his marches. “I have a whole wall full of music from when I had my own band. But nobody plays anymore,” he said, disheartened. That’s why having the band at the Parish is important to its members. It offers a chance for the seniors to continue to practice their passion for music and perform in a group. Coupland, who just learned to play bass guitar 10 years ago, has also been playing music her entire life. In addition to playing the guitar she also plays piano and clarinet, which she learned as a child in Saskatchewan. “When I was a child our family had a band, and when I was eight we played for dances. Because my dad had a band he made sure all of us kids learned how to play,” she said. Balzer, the mandolinist, has also played music all her life. Just as her father taught her the mandolin, she has now passed her musical talents down to her children, who have served as concert masters with the Vancouver Youth Symphony Orchestra. Like any musical group, the Merry Music Makers have come across some hiccups while performing. Such was the case two weeks ago during a packed Saturday night fundraiser. “When we played here Saturday night it was onstage, and we were in a straight line and we couldn’t hear each other,” Halcro said with a laugh. “But we managed to make it work.” For Sullivan, the youngster in the group, watching the other members of the band continue to play year after year is inspiring. “I hope I am able to do that when I’m their age,” he said.

don’t know why I keep buying bananas, they never get eaten. I buy two or three at the beginning of the week thinking — optimistically — they will be a great snack as I bolt out the door in the morning, something I can eat in the car while I travel between appointments. Well, they just never manage to leave the house. Between the car keys, the cup of coffee, my briefcase, purse, glasses and phone (it’s not like I have banana pocket) I just run out of hands and, truthfully, out of interest. The bananas sit atop the microwave in that cute little fruit basket I bought at the farmer’s market last year until they are stinky and black. Frankly, it starts to smell like wet gym socks in the kitchen and it takes me a day or two to realize why. Finally, I can’t look at them one more minute but rather
Food for Thought
ANGIE QUAALE than throw them into compost, I toss them in the freezer thinking again, ever so optimistically, that I will add them frozen to my morning smoothies that I incidentally also never make. I am pathetic. So, into the freezer they go until they are shriveled and hard. They pile up until I no longer even have room for ice. Suddenly on some random, rainy Sunday, in a flashback from my youth, I think — ‘hey, I’ve got time and all the fixings, I should make banana bread.’ Yawn. OK, when banana bread is good it can be quite good. It can definitely have its moments. But after the first slice, it’s just banana bread and it’s boring. There are only so many creative ways to jazz up banana bread and I have tried most of them. Turning the batter into muffins doesn’t make it any more interesting either, trust me. I’ve thrown in a little grated zucchini, some

I’ve added cinnamon, roasted peanuts, cocoa powder and even Nutella. Some batches turn out better than others, but it’s still just banana bread. I should have just eaten the damn banana when it was fresh then I wouldn’t have to torture myself with the guilt of throwing it in the garbage or finally repurposing it into something different I can throw away. So, last weekend, as I made what may be my very last batch

of banana bread ever, I decided to really raise the bar with a little booze. Some over proof dark rum, three tablespoons of it creamed into the butter and just because I felt like heading somewhere a little tropical I added a cup of shredded, sweetened, toasted coconut. What the heck, into the loaf pan and then, finally, into the waiting oven. My house smelled like a pina colada was cooking. It almost made me forget for a few minutes that it was banana bread. Then it came out of the oven and
there it was, on the rack in all of its banana bread glory. Cooling, taunting me, reminding me again that my ridiculous need to repurpose a 40 cent banana had taken me to this place. I hate to finally admit it but banana bread is dead to me. There is no good end result; even when you add booze and coconut — one of the best ingredients ever — you still just end up with banana bread.

To Every Thing . . . A Season Langley artist Lucy Adams has filled the Fort Gallery in Fort Langley with an unusual art installation — a continuation of her fascination with the themes of infinity and eternity. Interest for her piece, To Every Thing ... A Season, was piqued after she heard an item on CBC radio reporting that astronomers have discovered many more planets and suns and even whole galaxies that had previously been unknown. On pondering this information she wondered how many times has spring come and gone?
How many tides have ebbed? How many raindrops have fallen? This piece is another in a series of her work with these topics. The work can be seen at 8409, Glover Rd. in Fort Langley. The official opening was on Friday, June 1 and the artwork will be on display until Sunday, June 17. The gallery is open Wednesday to Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. For more information on the exhibit, email the Fort Gallery at info@FortGallery. ca.

Windsor’s faith pays off at provincials GARY AHUJA Times Sports
Ashley Windsor capped off her high school track and field career in style, winning two gold medals and two silver medals while also being named the most outstanding female performer at the B.C. provincial high school track and field championships. “I couldn’t ask for a better end,” she said. “To have this happen, is too good to be true.” The meet was held Friday and Saturday at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. The Grade 12 student — who is off to California Poly Technical State University next year on scholarship — also helped the Walnut Grove Gators win the senior girls’ provincial title with 71.5 points, 11.5 ahead of traditional powerhouse Oak Bay (see story below). Windsor won gold in the 3000m in a time of 10:03.40 and the 800m in 2:15.93. She took silver in the 1500m race at 4:35.22, just behind South Kamloops’ Kala Stone, who won the event in 4:34.55. And finally Windsor was part of the Gators’ silver-medal winning relay team in the 4x400 event. She ran with Andrea Robinson, Meg Harradine and Danica Matson, while Dallas Tilley was the team’s spare, to

a second-place finish, clocking in at 3:59.63, just under two seconds behind Oak Bay. Windsor was unsure what to expect with her three individual events. “Coming in, I didn’t know if doing those triple events was reasonable,” she admitted. “I put a lot of faith into my training and went for it.” The two gold medals she won go along nicely with the provincial championship she won back in the fall at the cross-country championships. It also makes up for a frustrating Grade 11 season, which saw an injured ankle hamper her results. Windsor’s only top 10 finish last year in an individual event was at the track and field championships was a fourthplace finish in the 800m. But now fully healthy, she has dominated. At the Fraser Valley championships last month, Windsor won three gold medals — in the 400, 800 and 1500m events — and was named the meet’s most inspirational athlete. With her high school career now in the books, Windsor never envisioned a finish like this when she joined the Gators’ program in Grade 8. “I was just happy to be a Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times part of the school team,” she Walnut Grove Gators’ Ashley Windsor won two gold and two silver medals at the B.C. high school said. provincial track and field championships at Swangard Stadium over the weekend. She was also named “I didn’t expect it to end the most outstanding female performer at the meet. like this in Grade 12.”

It took a total team effort and in the end, the Walnut Grove Gators were rewarded with a provincial championship banner. The Gators won the senior girls’ team title at the B.C. high school provincial track and field championships, which were held Friday and
Saturday at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. “It was just a fabulous performance by everybody,” said Don Sparks, one of several coaches who oversee the Walnut Grove track and field program. “It was a culmination of five years for a lot of those girls,” added Gary Lutes. “We hit everything we needed to put ourselves in
that position.” Walnut Grove scored 71.5 points, 11.5 ahead of perennial powerhouse Oak Bay, which had won nine of the previous 10 senior girls’ titles. That string was interrupted by the Gators, who tied for the title in 2005 with Burnaby Central. “We usually come in second with the girls, but we looked at (Oak Bay’s)

entries and thought maybe they are vulnerable, so we threw everything we had at them,” Sparks said. That included moving Grade 8 athlete Hannah Rolfe up to the senior level, where she finished tied for fifth in the high jump, earning the Gators points. In track and field, athletes earn points for placing in the top 10, with
10 points for a first-place and one point for a tenthplace result. Meg Harradine ran four events — the 400 and 800m and both the 4x100 and 4 x400 relays — whereas she normally would have focused on just a couple of events, while Danica Matson, did heptathlon for the first continued, PAGE 37

They both won the same colour medal, but have different feelings when it comes to the bronze medal. “I would definitely say I am content just because I have been struggling with injuries for the past month or so,” admitted Walnut Grove’s Shelby Smithson, who won bronze in the high jump, clearing 1.60m, at the B.C. high school track and field provincial championships at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. “For me to pull off (a medal) has been a battle, both mentally and physically. “The pain was there.” The Grade 12 student has been battling shin splints. The other bronze medal went to Langley Christian’s Eli Kastelein, in the 400m hurdles event. “It is still nice to medal, but it was kind of disappointing because I know I can do better,” the Grade 11 student said. “It is disappointing but I will come back next year and go for gold.” Kastelein had the top time after the preliminaries at 57.89 but dropped down to 58.34 in the finals. He said a half hour rain delay prior to finals threw him off. But he is definitely happy for the bronze,

Last year, he was eighth in the event. Kastelein also finished sixth in the 400m event. He said the experience from previous provincials, combined with good coaching, made a huge difference. Smithson also finished fourth at the heptathlon, which was won by Langley Secondary’s Georgia Ellenwood, and held the previous week in Abbotsford. While her high school career is over, Smithson does not intend to hang up her spikes. She will compete next year either at the University of Alberta, Simon Fraser University or at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
She also said helping Walnut Grove win the senior girls’ team title was a perfect ending. “To finish off my high school career, and for all the other seniors as well, that was just the cherry on top of a great season.” ••••• In the Grade 8/9 provincial championships, Walnut Grove’s Robyn Buckingham tied for the silver in the high jump at 1.55m while Alex Savage won silver in the long jump with a leap of 5.91m. Buckingham, Rebecca Lindsay, Lara Oppenlander and Emma Smithson won silver in the 4x400 relay event. And Langley Christian’s Nick Colyn won silver in the 1500m race with a time of 4:17.97.

Combining all the Walnut Grove top 10 finishes with the performance of Ashley Windsor — who won two gold and a silver — plus the Gators’ silver in the 4x400 relay, helped put the school comfortably ahead of Oak Bay. Walnut Grove also finished third in the aggregate standings with 77.83 points. “Everything fell into place and we did get lucky,” Sparks said, referring to a couple of disqualifications from Oak Bay athletes, resulting in no points in those particular events. “It was just a great weekend and I am excited for them,” Lutes said, adding it will be very beneficial for the younger Gator athletes to have this provincial championship experience under their belts.

THOMPSON, Jack R. 1952 - 2012 With great sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Jack. He was predeceased by his parents, Norman and Evelyn Thompson. Jack is survived by Sharon, his loving wife of 30 years; his daughter, Shantel, his sisters, Laureena (Royce) Edge and Margaret Thompson, as well as his extended family and many dear friends. Jack was a truck driver most of his life. He loved the work and he gained the respect and admiration of his peers over the years. Jack drove for Kingsway Freight, Van-Kam and DHL, (now known as Loomis Express) He took great pride in all the trucks he owned, right down to buffing under the fuel tanks. A very special thanks to Dr. R. Wittmann, Dr. P. Cilliers and the first responders who worked so hard to keep Jack with us. A celebration of Jack’s life will be held June 9, 2012, from 1 - 4 pm at the Willoughby Hall, 8280 208th St, in Langley. Friends and family are invited to share stories, memories and friendship.

Our spring real estate market is in full swing now although it took a little longer than usual to get started. There are many, many new listings coming into the market in the Fraser Valley and there are also lots and lots of serious buyers for those new listings. The good news is that, banks & government willing, this market should be with us for some time. The title of this column is one of the topics that REALTORS® are running into a lot these days. It seems to make good sense. If we ask a little (or a lot) more money for our home than what the REALTORS® Comparable Market Analysis indicates our home's market value is, maybe one of those buyers will fall in love with our home and pay the higher price. If not we can always lower the price later. Besides, people can always make offers and we can negotiate. It seems like a can't-lose situation. A deeper analysis, however, uncovers some very uncomfortable problem areas. Perhaps the most obvious one is that when the in-love-with-your-home buyer applies for a mortgage to complete the purchase they run smack head-on into a flinty-eyed, tight-fisted, banker who is only prepared to lend money on the bank appraised market value which turns out to be remarkably similar to the price range from the REALTORS® market analysis and much lower than the agreed upon price. Consequently the buyer can't get the mortgage because there isn't enough collateral in the appraised value to cover the mortgage according to Canadian legal requirements. So the buyer is unable to complete the purchase unless they can come up with more cash and don't mind doing that. That special sale that you thought you had turns out not to be attainable. But there are other less noticeable problems that could actually turn out to cause worse problems for the homeowner. When your house appears for sale in the market there are a certain number of serious buyers who are searching the market for the right home, now. They have been looking for a considerable amount of time and have seen a substantial number of houses. In fact, many have seen everything that appears to suit their wants and needs and haven't yet found the right one. Maybe they have even tried an offer on one or two but haven't been successful, maybe because they have been outbid by another buyer, or perhaps because the seller wasn't willing to accept the market's analysis of the value of the home and wanted more. They have seen everything and have gained a very accurate and intimate knowledge of market value because of all the houses they have seen and the eventual selling prices of those that sold. They have become experts and they, and their REALTOR® are watching the new listings daily. If they come across one that seems to meet their needs and is market priced they want to see it now and they are quite prepared to write their offer and pay full market value. They have been looking for a long time and are prepared to act now. If you are asking a significantly higher price than market value they are not even prepared to make an offer---they have "been there, done that" before and don't want to waste any more of their time. They just move on. After 2 or 3 weeks your REALTOR® has gone through the current buyers that are out there and now the REALTOR® has to begin to develop new buyers---ones that are just entering the market. It's a long, slow, expensive and arduous process and these buyers have not become knowledgeable about pricing. They are more inclined to make a much lower offer and try to negotiate you down. So the net result is you've scared away a knowledgeable buyer who would have paid you market price and now you're dealing with buyers who want to pay less because they aren't knowledgeable about the true value of your home. You've ended up in a no-win situation instead of a can't-lose situation. Stewart Henderson, Managing Broker Macdonald Realty 1st Pioneer email me at: stewarthenderson@macrealty.com
