Residents are ‘done waiting’ for safer 29 Ave.

CONGRATULATORY KISS

NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Toots Tucker, one of Langley’s two Seniors of the Year, is warmly congratulated on her title by her driver, Rene Doyharcabal, outside the Langley Seniors Resource Centre on Wednesday. Tucker and fellow Senior of the Year David Esworthy, were honoured at a luncheon at the centre. Doyharcabal volunteers his time and his classic car to drive the VIPs and has done so for a number of years.

Aldergrove residents are growing impatient over the speed with which the Township is responding to safety concerns. “We will not sit quietly anymore while nothing gets done,” Margo McPhelan told council on Monday evening. “We’ve been polite. We’ve been patient. We’re done waiting.” Of particular concern is 29 Avenue between 264 and 272 Streets where 10-year-old Nico Pike was struck as he crossed the street with a friend. There is no crosswalk between those two streets. The Shortreed Elementary school student was injured in the February accident, and is reportedly back at school for a limited number of hours each day. Aldergrove residents have come before council several times in the past to discuss ways to make their streets safer, but McPhelan noted in her earlier presentation, the dynamics changed. New parks have been built and old ones expanded, school catchment areas have changed, and traffic calming measures have been a “very positive step” in keeping the community safe. continued, PAGE 5

Eight years for ‘relentless’ robbery spree A prolific thief who committed at least one Langley break-in says he was supporting a $600-a-day heroin habit ALEX BROWNE Black Press

A series of thoroughly-planned home break-ins — most of them in South Surrey, but at least one in Langley — have netted a 38-year-old Abbotsford man more than seven years in jail. Darwin Duane Dorozan was sentenced Tuesday in Surrey Provincial Court to multiple concurrent and consecutive terms totalling eight years, which was reduced by 10 months to reflect the time he has already spent behind bars. Dorozan pleaded guilty in May to 12 counts of break-and-enter in connection

with incidents between April and August of 2011 and one in August, 2010, just prior to a nine-month sentence he served as the result of a 2007 robbery. Dorozan had said he committed the robberies to feed a $600-a-day heroin habit. In one incident, he had admitted to bear spraying a resident who struggled with him during a robbery attempt, while in another he had continued to ransack bedrooms while a terrified 19-year-old woman, who had locked herself in a bathroom, telephoned police. The Langley incident involved breaking into a home in the 21900 block of 44 Avenue.

In a pre-sentencing summary of the crimes, Judge Michael Hicks recounted how Dorozan was snared because he left behind knapsacks containing robbery tools and identifying materials, including a methadone prescription in his name, as well as lists of names, addresses and telephone numbers corresponding to robbery victims. RCMP checks of cellphone records had shown Dorozan, who Darwin specialized in stealing jewelry, Dorozan money and electronics, had called his victims’ residences on the dates of the robberies to find out whether they

were home. On Aug. 15, 2011, a police surveillance team watched Dorozan and his younger brother, Dane, remove electronics from a home in the 16400-block of 28 Avenue. Both were arrested. Dorozan’s brother is due to be sentenced on Sept. 21. The jail term is in line with the eight years prosecutor Mike Fortino had sought, rather than the five years defence lawyer Gordon Bowen had asked for.

Township debt on the rise

NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Man dies after being pinned MONIQUE TAMMINGA

In 2002, Langley Township’s debt was the equivalent of $69 per person. A decade later, with a vastly larger population, the per-capita debt stands at $759 per capita. “This is a bell and it’s ringing,” Councillor Kim Richter commented recently when council gave early readings to bylaws to authorize the municipality to borrow $42.5 million for major infrastructure projects that are fueling the massive increase. The bylaws were formally adopted on Monday, June 11. The borrowing is for: ❒ $33,535,000 for the East Langley Water Supply, which will require a new pipeline to take water from the Greater Vancouver Regional Water District’s terminus in Willoughby to Aldergrove. ❒ $7,015,000 for the Township’s share of building the Barnston Island/Maple Ridge pump station; ❒ $2,033,000 for safety initiatives around the Mufford Crescent/64 Avenue railway overpass, currently under construction; and ❒ $1,020,000 to loop the existing Labonte Crescent water main from the current T-junction configuration, to improve flow and reduce bacterial growth. While acknowledging the need for the projects, Richter was alarmed at the burden on taxpayers. “I think it’s time for us to pull the reins in on spending,” she said. “We simply cannot go into debt to the extent we have gone into debt.” Noting that the per-capita load taxpayers are carrying has increased by 176 per cent in 10 years, Richter added: “That is just not sustainable in the longer term. We’ve got to stop spending . . . and we can’t switch spending into borrowing.” The debt will be repaid from development cost charges which are one-time fees paid by developers who typically pass them on to the people who buy their buildings, and from utilities and reserves, both recharged by taxpayers. However, administrator Mark Bakken

Times Reporter

Work continues on the Mufford overpass project, which will see Mufford extended over the railway tracks and Highway 10, and connecting to the highway. The project also includes widening a portion of Glover Road to four lanes. said, the impact on taxpayers on the cost of borrowing is zero. He added that the borrowing is by the utilities and developerfunded reserves. “But it still has to be repaid, whether it comes from utilities or not,” Richter argued. Saying that there are no further projects anticipated that would require borrowing large sums of money, Bakken advised council that the Township “tends to repay our debts fairly quickly.” He likened the debt to a family situation in which adult children owe money, but that debt does not become the parents’ debt. “Grant programs from senior governments are drying up,” he further advised. Councillor Charlie Fox offered a word of caution about the high cost of providing water, noting that Metro Vancouver is faced with an $800 million bill for the Seymour/ Capilano filtration system.The Seymour/Capilano watersheds supply about 70 per cent of the Lower Mainland’s drinking water.

And, he added, it is just coming to light that there may be further expenses incurred for the Coquitlam watershed. “Holy crap,” was Councillor David Davis’ reaction to the cost of the projects. Acknowledging in particular the need to bring water to Aldergrove, Davis warned that “we have to watch (spending) next year and the year after.” Mayor Jack Froese defended the borrowing.“It is our duty as a Township of Langley to ensure that we have water,” he said. “We are a fast growing municipality and there is no way around that.We have to bite the bullet and pay for it.” Froese said that 10 years from now, the cost of the projects would likely be around $60 million. “We are actually doing future generations a favour” by borrowing the money for bringing regional water to Aldergrove, improving the connection at Labonte Crescent/Glover Road, and for safety initiatives at the Mufford overpass, he said.

Profile of cat murderer is being developed MONISHA MARTINS Black Press

Mounties are working with the SPCA on a profile of the person behind a spate of cat mutilations in Maple Ridge. The investigation into the deaths remains active, but the SPCA is unable to share specific details about it to protect its integrity.

The RCMP are also trying to extract human DNA from the remains. “We don’t want to jeopardize the outcome,” said SPCA spokesperson Lorie Chortyk. “But we can say that the B.C. SPCA is working with the Ridge Meadows and Langley RCMP and that the SPCA has the support of the RCMP’s Behavioural Science Group to track and analyze the

reports we receive.” In the past year, 24 cats have been discovered mutilated in Maple Ridge, but the SPCA is now investigating similar incidents in Mission, Port Coquitlam and across the Fraser River in Langley. Necropsies done on cats killed in November 2011 and March 2012 found the injuries were caused by a sharp instrument, not by a predator.

B.C. Coroner’s Service is investigating after a 60-year-old man died from injuries he sustained when he became pinned between a truck tailgate and a cement mixer on Monday night. The tragic accident is believed to have taken place on his own property in the 26900 block of 48 Avenue around 7 p.m. Police believe the man and others were attempting to load a mixer back onto the truck when the machinery shifted and trapped the man. The other men were able to free the man and perform CPR before paramedics arrived on scene, said Langley RCMP. According to Langley RCMP, the man suffered serious injuries to his midsection and was flown to Royal Columbian Hospital where he died. This is the second work-related death in less than a month in Langley. Lance Klody died in a freak accident while falling a tree on Thursday, May 31 in Aldergrove. WorkSafe BC said it continues its investigation into why the bucket Klody was in broke away from the boom it was attached to, causing the 50-year-old man to fall more than 60 feet to the ground. He was pronounced dead at the scene. He was attempting to bring down a 130foot Douglas fir. Messages from those who knew Klody say he owned his own tree falling business, Freelance Tree Services, based out of Abbotsford.

More than $20,000 in prizes is up for auction online to benefit the Melissa White Legacy Fund. This is in addition to a potential $20,000 to be raised from the Melissa White Legacy raffle, a burger and beer night with $12,000 in silent auction prizes and online vacation auctions through Facebook. Melissa White passed away from ALS and Frontotemporal Dementia in March at the age of 30, leaving behind her husband, Jeremy, and three children Maddox, 2, Jordana, 4, and Alexander, 6. (Her story ran in The Times on May 29). The Melissa White Legacy was set up by the Whites’ former neighbour, Anita McCarthy, to try to alleviate sudden financial strains on the family. The response from the community has been overwhelming, McCarthy said. Because of the plethora of donations from the community, McCarthy created the online auction as well. Prizes include tickets personally donated by Sarah McLachlan, Brett Lawrie, Vancouver White-

caps, BC Lions, Harrison Hot Springs, Four Seasons Whistler and more. To participate, sign up for a free account on www.32auctions. com, log in to www.32auctions. com with your username and password and copy and paste the URL (http://www.32auctions. com/MelissaWhiteLegacyAuction) into your web browser and start bidding. The auction closes at 8 p.m. on Sunday, June 17. There will also be a Celebrity Scoop Night (celebrity to be announced) at Marble Slab Creamery, 305-6339 200 St., on June 20 from 5-8 p.m. Limited tickets remain for the raffle and are on sale for $10 each at many locations, including the Future Shop on the Langley Bypass, the Petro Canada gas station on 72 Avenue and 200 Street, Colour me Mine at 6339 200 St., Nestle Tollhouse Cafe at Guildford Town Centre, and online by emailing whitefamilytrustfund@gmail.com. Only 2,000 tickets are being sold, making the odds of winning very high, McCarthy said. Grand prize for the raffle is two round trip tickets anywhere

WestJet flies. Second prize is a two-night stay at Black Rock Oceanfront Resort in Ucluelet and two round trip flights with Orca Airways (worth more than $1,600). Third prize is a $1,000 gift card basket from local businesses. Fourth prize is a Canon Eos Rebel T2i 18-55 mm lens, 430x speedlight and bag package ($899 retail). Local chartered accountant Eric Nyvall has also donated several seven-night vacations in locations such as Aruba, Orlando and Kauai, with all proceeds going directly to the White family.These are currently being auctioned on Facebook. Those wishing to donate directly to the White family can do so through the ‘In Trust for the White family’ account at the Willowbrook Royal Bank branch, 19888 Willowbrook Dr, which will be open until July 31.

Sentence No instant solution, says mayor ‘sends strong message’ 29 Avenue, from PAGE 1

Dorozan, from PAGE 1

In handing down sentencing, Hicks said he had taken into account that Dorozan had completed a drug-rehabilitation program in jail and had been working in the prison tailor shop. He also noted that Dorozan’s guilty plea, in which he accepted responsibility as the principal perpetrator of the crimes, had saved the victims the further distress of a trial. But Hicks said he also had to consider Dorozan’s “relentless and organized” campaign of crime and the impacts upon each victim as well as the community at large. “These are serious offences with a significant impact to the victims,” said Hicks, who read excerpts from victims’ statements that underlined that their — and, in a number of cases, their children’s — sense of “safety and security” had been violated. He also took into account Dorozan’s record of 23 prior convictions since 1993, including one for robbery with a firearm. “Sentences which were, arguably, modest did not deter Mr. Dorozan,” he said, adding they did not support a step-up policy of incremental punishment. Hicks noted that break-ins in which Dorozan had encountered residents qualified as “home invasions” — which carry a mandatory sentence of three years each — and cited the “aggravating” circumstances of the incidents in which Dorozan had bear-sprayed the man and had continued robbing the home in which the young woman was still present. Hicks said that while Dorozan had evidently sought to avoid confrontations with residents, he had become “reckless” of the possibility they might be at home. Dorozan, dressed in a red fleece shirt, sat relatively impassively in the courtroom while Hicks detailed his crimes, but bit his lip and blinked repeatedly when Hicks read from victims’ statements. As part of his sentence, he will have a lifetime firearms prohibition and will have to submit his DNA to a national record bank. In a press release, RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger said the apprehension of Dorozan and his brother “sends a strong message that this type of criminal element is not welcome in our community. “This sentencing,” he added,“will hopefully bring some relief to those in our community who have been victimized.”

The dynamics changed again when Nico was injured. McPhelan told council in February that many students, parents and neighbours witnessed “something extremely tragic and traumatic” when Nico was hurt. On Monday, McPhelan was back before council, reiterating the need for something to be done on 29 Avenue. “We are here before you once again to assert that this project needs to get under way soon, as opposed to later,” McPhalen said. Mayor Jack Froese told McPhelan that a report “is not an instant solution. I wish it was, but it’s not.” The report, released from in-camera on Monday night, was not made public

FARM MARKET 1654 264th St, Aldergrove

Parents get ’er done MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Parents at R.C. Garnett Elementary decided to do it themselves and build a playground on Saturday morning. Not only did parents of this tight-knit school do all the fundraising to make this second playground possible, they also did the manual labour to make it happen. “It would have cost us over $4,000 to have it installed,” said PAC co-chair Lorraine Baldwin.“So we did it ourselves.That’s R.C. Garnett for you.” On Friday, about 15 fathers started shoveling the woodchips and drilling holes for the monkey bars to be installed. On Saturday morning, around 7:30 a.m., the same group came around ready to do the heavy labour while many moms ran coffee and helped out, said Baldwin. “We even had an uncle of a student come and help. The playground will be ready to play on by Wednesday (yesterday),” she said. R.C. Garnett has been faced with much adversity for some time now, first with being the most overcrowded elementary school in Langley, with nine portables and more on the way. This overcrowding has forced the school to alternate recess times for the students because there are too many kids and not enough equipment for them to play on.

Submitted by Lorraine Baldwin

About 15 fathers spent last Friday and Saturday installing a new playground at R.C. Garnett Elementary. Then the school district made R.C. Garnett the first elementary in Willoughby to reconfigure into a K-5, with Grade 6-7s being bussed to the new school Lynn Fripps next September. Despite all that, and other schools like Willoughby getting funds for a playground, parents at R.C. Garnett still have a huge heart for their school, raising $8,400 through raffles and other fundraisers for the playground. “Then we realized how little $8,000 will buy you,” Baldwin said.

A parent went to the Township and asked for a grant and received $5,000 through the Neighbourhood Initiative Program. Magnum Concrete donated the concrete and Gordy’s Firewood donated the plywood. The playground idea got underway from one boy going to the principal asking for monkey bars last year, said Baldwin. Now the new playground has two sets of monkey bars and a ladder wall. The school is hosting a ribbon cutting on Friday, June 15 at 2:10 p.m.

For the first time in a long time, it’s a pretty good news budget for the Langley School District. “We didn’t have to cut a lot of things this year,” said secretarytreasurer David Green at Tuesday night’s board of education meeting. On top of that, the district continues to pay off the deficit well ahead of the government imposed

schedule of 2015. Predictions for next year’s school population are higher than expected too, he said. Next school year, enrolment is predicted to be up by 266 students which will contribute $1.8 million more in revenue for the district. The Ministry of Education grant was down $2.2. million this year but the special education supplement was higher. Expenses for principals

and vice-principals cost the district more this year than last. But where there will be a hit is the district’s pension plan which has taken a nosedive. “There is a $668,000 hit on the pension plan last year and our assets will continue to decline in value,” he said. First and second reading of Langley School District’s budget was delayed until a special meeting next Monday, to give staff some time

to complete it. At Tuesday meeting, Green said changes to how they calculate certain aspects of the budget led his finance team to redo the budget. Trustees encouraged residents to come out to an open house at the board office starting at 6 p.m. on Monday, June 18 before they vote. Another special meeting on Monday June 25 at 5:30 p.m. will be held to vote on third and final reading of the budget.

Tattoo artist eyes Brookswood NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

James Walther wants to clean up a corner of Brookswood that looks a little dated and tired. He plans to achieve renewal of the corner of 208 Street and 42 Avenue by setting up a new business. Here, he would refinish the storefront and parking lot before bringing second storey suites up to code, and filling units on the ground floor. The problem is that there is no zone where he can legally open his business, Pro Pain Ink tattoo artist studio. After hearing his plea on Monday, council directed staff to determine

whether Walther can be issued a legal site-specific business licence. Walther said that he has the support of the Brookswood Merchants Association, the local fire department, and a host of merchants. He said that improvements will benefit not only the property at 4181 208 St., but also the surrounding properties and the municipality as a whole. Council received a letter of support from Denise Wootton, owner of Riders Pub. Wootton, whose daughter is Walther’s apprentice, said that “getting this property cleaned up and fully functioning would be great for the community’s continued growth and development.”

WE SAY

THEY SAY

A breath of fresh air

A jockey to remember

A

t a time when political leaders seem to keep reaching for our wallets, and when cynicism about the motives of many people is at a very high level, Cliff Steele was a breath of fresh air. The 93-year-old contacted The Times several months ago. He wanted to get the word out to the community about his work in repairing old scooters and giving them to people who needed them to get around. He wasn’t asking for anything other than donations of old scooters and the names of people who could use them. Times readers responded enthusiastically to his request. He was a handyman who liked to work on the scooters and get them running again, and then pass them on to people in need. His work didn’t require a government grant, an expensive study or a political photo-op. It was done in his workshop next to his home, and he did it for the satisfaction of helping others. Cliff kept working on the scooters until last Friday. He left his workshop and went to his home, but collapsed with an aneurism and died later in hospital. It was exactly the way he wanted to go, his daughter Darlene said. He put in a day’s work, and was at home. He had even got a hole in one playing golf earlier in the week. There may be economic doom and gloom in Europe, and uncertainty here in Canada. There may be concerns about the environment, the health system and unemployment. Politicians at all levels may be demanding more pay, as are unionized government workers. They may be more interested in keeping their wallets fat than in serving the public. But there are still people like Cliff too. While he has now departed this world, for the 93 years that he was part of it, he was a contributor who worked hard and gave back what he was able to. Langley has a lot of people like Cliff. They give back in all kinds of ways. They are involved in community groups, do stream clean-ups, volunteer to raise funds for worthy causes and work together on many projects. For most of them, politics and religion don’t matter — they are interested in doing what they can for the community and the people who live in it. Cliff Steele epitomized those people. His service to others set a worthy example that we would all do well to follow.

he sound heard Friday morning was that of a balloon deflating, with word that sensational racehorse I’ll Have Another would not run the Belmont Stakes due to injury. The late scratch meant that the thoroughbred’s improbable run for the prestigious Triple Crown was over, as its handlers rightfully, and commendably, put the horse’s health ahead of a potential historic victory. And with the horse’s absence, a great deal of momentum was also lost for a sport struggling to stay top-ofmind amongst North American sports fans. I’ll Have Another’s victories at the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes — and the chance that maybe, just maybe, a landmark moment was in the offing — gave thoroughbred racing a higher profile than it had enjoyed in years, likely decades. But it spurred, too, the cynics — those who pooh-pooh horse-racing as not a sport so much as a gambler’s paradise, because, they insist, a horse cannot be considered a real athlete. But what of the jockey, one Mario Gutierrez? Lost amidst the hue and cry that the Triple Crown would go unclaimed for yet another year was the 25-year-old former South Surrey resident, whose shot at glory was dashed by something he could not control — the health of a horse. And though it has been I’ll Have Another in the headlines since the Derby win in early May, Gutierrez should get plenty of credit, too. He’s more, after all, than just a guy sitting atop a really fast horse. South Surrey horse owner Glen Todd, whose horses Gutierrez rode during a six-year run at Hastings Park, refers to the jockey as “gifted.” After his win in Kentucky, Todd even went so far as to call Gutierrez the Bobby Orr of jockeys. Add in the backstory — Gutierrez grew up racing the dirt tracks of Mexico before being discovered and brought to Vancouver — and it’s no wonder he’s garnered so much attention. Let’s not forget the steady hand of Gutierrez. —Peace Arch News The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Bateman has tax increase epiphany Editor: I read the article (The Times, May 31) on Jordan Bateman’s zealous mission to combat waste by TransLink and the onerous tax burden it represents on ratepayers, since he has donned the cape of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Not that I am decrying the fact TransLink needs a major review and overhaul in many respects, but it strikes me the wrong protagonist is taking up the cudgel against them. This is the same former councillor (Bateman), who is a tax and spend Liberal in every sense and meaning of the word. As a member of council, he approved innumerable tax increases (about five per cent annually) in the Township.This was about double the rate of the CPI, during his tenure in office.

He defended this backing of tax increases as crucial to supporting the status quo. He then had an epiphany on Fraser Highway, a la Saul of Tarsus. He was probably behind a 502 bus. He decided that tax increases were wrong, and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation luckily had a position available for him to immediately take up the cause against wasteful TransLink spending and public consultation antics. He should be challenged on the poor optics of this sudden 180-degree turn and the fact it would appear disingenuous at best to local residents. Members of the local media have attended innumerable council meetings, and would be

best positioned to question the veracity of his current actions and his future intentions, in light of his past performance. This reminds me of the story of one Stephen Harper, MP turned CEO of the National Citizens Coalition, Jordan turned MP and now prime Bateman minister. By the way, I sent an e-mail to Bateman after the initial article was published, but it remains unanswered. I would like to assist him on his mission. Lee Lockwood, Langley

Farmland needs to be preserved Editor: I sent a message to our Fort LangleyAldergrove MLA, Rich Coleman, about the plan to remove land from the Agricultural Land Reserve to make way for expansion of Trinity Western University. I am concerned about the loss of farmland.

Do you know that 100 years ago there was one billion people on this earth? There are now seven billion. In another 100 years, would you think that maybe, just maybe there will be trouble feeding those who are here?

Saving farmland today will leave a legacy. Yes, it will be a legacy that one can get their teeth into. Gary Davis, Fort Langley

44 Avenue residents need some calming Editor: Welcome to the Langley Speedway. Join the hundreds of cars that use 44 Avenue on a daily basis to get to either 208 Street or 42 Avenue from their hundred or so homes lying to the north between 208 and 212 Streets. But no blame should go to them, as the Township planning department made the ridiculous error originally. But there is more to vex the residents along this unfortunate, noisy roadway. Hundreds of drivers use this busy thoroughfare to drive their children to and from the Fundamental

School located on 212 Street. Twice a day the road is bumper to bumper with traffic, except on holidays. But there is more to annoy those residing along 44 Avenue. Speeding and gunning engines along this route seems to be the evening and late night pastime of many. Neighbours unfortunate enough to live on this roadway have their sleep disrupted, and those with children shudder at the speed of some of these inconsiderate individuals. Under the former mayor of the Township,

residents were told that we were on the list for “calming” the traffic, and hopefully the Township will install speed bumps or some other method to reduce traffic on this dangerous and noisy thoroughfare. It is necessary. It is needed now. Will the Township of Langley please do something about this serious problem, or will we citizens have to act like people do when their lives are seriously affected? Mike Harvey, Langley

Fort Langley residents await their turn Editor: With regards to Eric Woodward and his “vision for Fort Langley” (The Times, June 11), what about the people who live here? When will our opinions and objections count? The large majority of residents did not want more condos on the waterfront, but Township council thought it knew best and let ParkLane build more condo buildings. Now there is no green space left on the west side of Glover Road, at least not the space promised in the developers’ beautiful drawings. There is no park land for families who visit or who live here. The

And now, here is Woodward wanting to build his vision, which appears to be a Robson Street or Yaletown district in historical Fort Langley, with three stories. The residents met with the developers over a year ago, with Kurt Alberts chairing the meeting. At that meeting, the large majority of local residents were adamant on two stories only for the village. Rumours are abounding that if Woodward gets his way with the Coulter Berry project, he will be looking to go up two or three floors across the street from this project, on property

he already owns. As well, he owns all the property across from the Fort Langley Community Hall, which he will also be requesting to develop over the next years. Residents are wondering if we will be able to retain our name and the signs that say “Welcome to Historical Fort Langley” or if they will be changed to read “Welcome to Fort Woodward?” Sandra Cameron, Langley

Fiscal house must be strong Editor: The global economy appears to be entering another problem period, with some world economies having serious problems — Greece, Spain, Italy, plus many others. Canada’s economy is one of the best in the world, but what happens in the rest of the world will have an impact on us. One of the biggest problem areas is a rising national debt, in relation to GDP, and the inability to bring it under control. This is caused by a demand for services and the inability of government to pay for them without going further in debt. One of our main problems in Canada, and the world in general, is an ever increasing aging population. How do we pay for the increased costs associated with this aging population? Governments have three main sources of revenue — taxes, service fees and royalties. The main one is taxes, but a strong economy sure helps. A reduction of services, or freezing them, is a possibility. In Canada we will have to live with higher taxes as part of the solution. A reduction in the national debt is also part of the solution. This will have a negative effect on many people, but it will reduce the problem over a shorter period of time, and we will be better off in the long term. The only thing we should demand of government is the most efficient government possible. Eric J. Bysouth, Langley

Some people get politically motivated when they see campaign signs blanketing the community during elections. For the last few years, however, those placards have inspired Township resident Wally Martin to help the environment. “I know people hate all those signs all over the place, but honestly, I have seen so much of this stuff go to the landfill and I’m a bit of a tree hugger anyway,” he said. Martin’s solution was simple. He’d use discarded signs — made entirely of reusable material — to build furniture for his grandchildren.

his grandsons to share. His second effort was for his two-yearold granddaughter. He said the latest bed is both flexible and sturdy enough to also function as a trampoline for the toddler. Although the current owners are all children, Martin said the beds would have no difficulty supporting a grown-up. “I’ve slept on it. It’s actually quite comfortable,” he said, explaining the bed immediately has enough strength to support an adult’s weight when the corrugated plastic is placed in the wood frame. He worked on each of the beds on-and-off, but he said the process would only take about an hour if he buckled down. “There was an element of humour to it,” he said, “but also like everything in life, things that are funny also have a serious side, too.” Martin said he has no plans to turn this enterprise into any sort of business. Rather, he just wants people to know about innovative ways to repurpose material that is often tossed away. “You could always use an extra bed when the relatives come over. You don’t want to have to go buy one, so go and support your local election candidate and ask him for his (sign).”

TransLink video info SOUND NEWS screens ‘wasteful’ System at entrance to SkyTrain stations mostly inoperative JEFF NAGEL Black Press

TransLink is accused of wasting more than $523,000 in 2009 to put up 13 video screens at SkyTrain station entrances that now mostly do not work. The LCD monitors and networked content players cost more than $40,000 each, according to the results of a Freedom of Information request filed by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). The video screens were to communicate SkyTrain system emergencies, closures and other information to transit riders, ending the practice of staff scrawling messages on sandwich boards outside stations. “Any way you slice it, $40,000 for a TV screen in this day and age is mind-boggling waste,” said Jordan Bateman, the CTF’s B.C. director. He said the only working screens were at Stadium Station when he recently checked them, while those at Scott Road, Edmonds and Commercial-Broadway had vanished and ones at Lougheed were there but not operating. TransLink records show the Scott Road screens were damaged by vandals while others were offline as of August 2011 due to various technical failures. Three quarters of the money for the Station Entrance Emergency Information

Need

Panel (SEEIP) project came from a $391,000 federal Transit-Secure grant. But Bateman said it was not good use of money earmarked to improve safety and security, regardless of whether taxpayers paid for it via the federal government or through TransLink. The video screens at the entrances to the five stations are different from the more than 160 screens on all SkyTrain and Canada Line station platforms that can also transmit urgent messages. Those were installed by TransLink’s advertising contractor at their cost and TransLink receives a share of the advertising revenue. “The taxpayers didn’t have to pay a dime for that,” said Byron Montgomery, general manager for Lamar Transit Advertising. Asked whether TransLink had tried to partner with Lamar on the station entrance screens, which were installed around the

same time, he said they were separate initiatives. Bateman said sandwich board messages may not be elegant but they work. He said it’s harder for passengers at a station entrance that has been closed due to a problem to peer through a grille at a video monitor inside. TransLink officials said several of the outof-service monitors are either being repaired or are temporarily covered up because of station renovations. “This was put in as a safety measure,” TransLink corporate communications manager Jason Martin said. He said plans to add more of the station entrance video screens in 2013 are under review, adding TransLink now makes much greater use of social media in communicating with passengers than it did four years ago. The cost of the project, which was in place in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics, included computers, a server, cables, software and other infrastructure.

Township welcomes public input on OCP The Township of Langley’s Official Community Plan is in the process of being updated to extend to the year 2040 What will Langley Township be like 30 years from now? How will our community look? Will our children and grandchildren enjoy the same quality of life? Residents are being asked to consider how they envision the Township of the future, and their thoughts and ideas will help shape the municipality’s updated Official Community Plan (OCP). The OCP is a set of objectives and policies that guide the municipality’s decisions on growth, housing, infrastructure, services, and

transportation. The current plan is being updated to take the Township to 2040, and will consider health, diversity, the environment, climate change, and the local economy. “Public consultation and community input are essential to create the best Plan possible,” said Ramin Seifi, the Township’s general manager of engineering and community development. “Whether you have lived your entire life here, or are new to Langley, we encourage you to get involved and help plan our com-

On Nov. 21, 1968, Stan Thompson received his brand new 1969 Pontiac Firebird from the Haney Garage dealership in Maple Ridge for $4,570.38. Forty-two years later he is still driving his vibrant yellow classic car. Although it is no longer used to haul the kids around and pick up groceries, the car remains in mint condition, with all the same parts and accessories that were original to the car. It still has its original 350 cu. in., 265 hp engine and three-speed automatic transmission, and features a black vinyl roof and rally II wheels. “It’s quite hard to find a car with all the original parts, and the original owner,” said Thompson, a former longtime resident of Murrayville, who is now living in Abbotsford. “A lot of these cars have gone by the wayside, been crashed or sold.” Thompson even has

Stan Thompson proudly poses with his 1969 Pontiac Firebird at the Pontiac Show ‘N’ Shine at Cascades Casino on June 10. all the original paper work including the purchase order and agreement, conditional sale contract, vehicle warranty and owner’s manual. This was kept simply by mistake. When he got the car he put the papers into an envelope and stuck it under the car mat, where it sat for years until the car was dismantled and restored

in 1986. At 175,000 miles, the Firebird was completely reconditioned and given fresh paint and a lot of horsepower. Thompson became a regular drag racer at the Mission Raceway, and won for best appearing sportsman car at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton in 2006. But as the cost of drag racing continued to

rise, Thompson reverted the car to all of its original parts, which he had stored away after the car’s restoration. Today he shows off his Firebird at car shows throughout the Lower Mainland, including the Pontiac Show ‘N’ Shine held at Cascades Casino on June 10. For video, visit www. langleytimes.com.

Untreated hearing loss can lead to dementia Dementia is a serious loss of cognitive ability in a previously unimpaired person beyond what would be expected from normal aging. The prevalence of dementia is projected to double every 20 years such that by 2050, more than 100 million people could be affected. This means that approximately 1 in 85 people will be affected. Many of the same risk factors that lead to dementia are also associated with untreated hearing loss. These risk factors include: less involvement with social activities, sedentary state, stress and more. A recent study by the American Medical Association suggests that living with hearing loss can cause both all-cause dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The study took place over a 12-year period and tested 639 people who were dementia free but had a hearing loss ranging from mild to severe. The study found that during this 12-year period, 58 cases of incident all – cause dementia were diagnosed. Of these, 37 cases were found to be Alzheimer’s disease. The risk of dementia seemed to increase with the severity of the hearing loss. The risk of Alzheimer’s disease also increased with the level of hearing loss. Living with a hearing loss over long periods of time can also have an impact on the brain’s ability to understand speech. This phenomenon is known as phonemic regression. Phonemic regression can also be used to guesstimate the number of years a person has lived with a hearing loss. Trisha Doyle of Crystal Vision & Hearing said, “We can do a complete hearing evaluation at no charge. We then send a complimentary copy to the patient’s family doctor as it is an important component of one’s overall medical Àle. We test for air conduction, bone conduction and phonemic regression.” Doyle said, “There are a lot of common indicators that someone is living with an untreated hearing loss. Prior to getting their hearing aids, a lot of our clients would ask people to repeat themselves constantly or had their TV sets so loud that their spouses would complain. Once we Àt them with a complete hearing system most of these problems are solved. After our clients hearing loss is treated we Ànd them getting back into the social part of life too. It is a very rewarding experience.” If you want more information on this study or would like to book a complete hearing evaluation contact Crystal Hearing at 604-510-5142.

Tanya Foulds with daughter Isabella, husband Joel Wilson and daughter Charlotte, 4, have set up a $5,000 fund in memory of Isabella’s twin sister Brooklyn, who died two days after birth. The Brooklyn Wish Fund is being set up to help parents of children in RCH’s NICU. Jerald Walliser/RCHF

and her husband Joel Wilson hope they can help NICU parents like themselves with after starting a $5,000 trust fund as a memorial to their daughter Brooklyn. It all began a little over a year ago.

The twins weren’t due until early September, but on May 9, 2011 she noticed

some spotting. Her doctor told her to come in immediately. When she arrived they told her she was three centimetres dilated and they wanted to do a surgery to stitch her cervix back up. When they got her to the operating room several hours later she was up to seven centimetres. “By then they were really worried it wasn’t going to work, but they managed to do the surgery.” Over the next five days Foulds was shuttled back and forth to the delivery room several times. On May 15 at about 6 a.m., a doctor doing a regular check all of a sudden started calling for help and Isabella came

into the world a few minutes later, 23 weeks premature. “It was fast, it was like a whirlwind. I’ve never seen so many people in a room,” says Foulds. The medical team decided to see if they could stop Foulds’ contractions before Brooklyn came out but, unlike her sister, she was out of her sac. When Brooklyn emerged two and a half hours after Isabella she was bruised from all the banging around. The babies, both weighing slightly more than one pound, were put in NICU. “Things at first seemed good. They warned us it would be hard to see them, and we need to be prepared for what they look like and what they’re hooked up to. Visually they don’t look like babies at that point, a little bit alien like. They still had their eyes fused shut, they weren’t even open yet ... Their skin was almost translucent,” says Foulds. “To me they were still the prettiest little girls ever.” An ultrasound on Brooklyn’s brain revealed a massive hemorrhage on one side and the pressure was pushing on the other. Two days after her birth, the doctors told Foulds and Wilson if she lived Brooklyn would be quite brain damaged. There was no surgery they could do to correct the problem, and they gave her morphine so she wouldn’t be in pain. Foulds says if Brooklyn had lived she continued, PAGE 17

would have had severe brain damage, in a wheelchair and unable to communicate. Foulds and Wilson made the tough decision to take Brooklyn off the machines and let her pass peacefully. “That was a hard day,” says Foulds. “It was hard, and it’s still hard when I think about it. But I know it was a decision that was right. I remember the day Brooklyn passed and we were all consumed with her, and then there was a moment we realized we still had Isabella, that we had another baby.” That began a stretch of 138 days for Isabella in the NICU. Once Foulds was out of hospital she would dutifully make the daily trip to watch over Isabella. If Foulds was lucky it would take 45 minutes to get to RCH. Usually it was more than an hour. “I was so angry at the construction.” When she arrived she’d scour the side streets looking for a place to park that wasn’t going

to cost her a month’s wages, often risking a ticket and getting away with it. Before she left she would also have to find someone to take care of threeyear-old Charlotte. The NICU staff became their friends, their confidantes and their fonts of information. One primary nurse came out to Isabella’s recent first birthday. That got them thinking about what they could do to help the department in return and honour Brooklyn at the same time. At first they thought of buying a piece of equipment, but realized it would cost too much. So they wondered why not help out other NICU parents like themselves, and established the Brooklyn Wish Fund. “Even if you live in New Westminster there are still expenses every day with a baby in NICU that long,” she says. Foulds, Wilson and the RCH Foundation (RCHF) are looking at all sorts of solutions to easing those logistical costs, such as working with Impark for special

daily rates in the hospital lots, transit passes, and gas, transit, food and movie vouchers. Providing child care is another service she hopes the fund will eventually be able to provide so the siblings don’t get lost in all the other worries. “Joel and Tanya are an extraordinary couple,” says Adrienne Bakker, RCHF CEO and president. “Their generosity demonstrates a deep empathy for and commitment to other families who may find themselves in a similar situation.” Isabella is doing well these days and is a growing girl. For her first birthday her parents requested guests donate to the fund in lieu of presents. They are hoping, just like Isabella, the fund will grow. “The trust fund was named in honour of Brooklyn, but it’s Isabella that drives us to do this because her being in there for four and a half months, we knew what people were going through and what they needed,” says Foulds.

Bluetree Homes and Wesgroup Properties announce The Brewery District

Brewing up ‘an exciting ... place to live’ Bluetree Homes and Wesgroup Properties are teaming up to bring the Brewery District to New Westminster. Located in historic Sapperton, directly connected to SkyTrain and beside the Royal Columbian Hospital, the Brewery District will offer something for everyone. “We believe that the Brewery District will be an exciting and vibrant place to live, and that it is an important part of the future of New Westminster,” says Bluetree President Ben Taddei. “We are pleased to become a part of this community and the vision set out by Wesgroup, with the development of its residential buildings.”

The first high-rise tower will have 130 suites, and will start sales this winter. “A strong and reputable builder, Bluetree Homes will bring exceptional value to this exciting next phase at the Brewery District, and we are excited to welcome them to this vibrant community,” says Gino Nonni, president of Wesgroup. Eventually the development will include approximately 750 homes, space for almost 100 new businesses and the new TransLink and Transit Police corporate headquarters, which are currently under construction. For more information, visit www. thebrewerydistrict.ca.

tub surround and ensuite floor. When you actually want to leave your home (you may not after seeing all the amazing things inside it), you’ll find a community backing on spectacular natural green space. “It’s becoming more difficult to find green space,” Steine says. “That’s what we really can provide here.” Portrait has been honoured with 105 major industry awards for Silver Ridge, including the Avid Diamond Award for the Best Customer Experience in Canada this year. They were also awarded a Special Platinum Award this year by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of British Columbia for winning 27 Georgie Awards in the past 11 years. “The community itself is probably

one of the most awarded communities in B.C,” Steine says. “There’s a lot to be said for that.” Right now buyers are able to take advantage of buying a home before construction begins, so they can choose their colour scheme and have the opportunity to take advantage of the upgrades that Portrait is offering. “It’s been extremely popular so far,” Steine says, adding that several homes have already been sold and people are coming through the sales centre all the time. “Build it and they will come!” he laughs. “That says a lot about the community.” Homes start in the $450,000s. For more information, visit www. portraithomes.ca or call 604-466-9278.

‘A quiet, natural setting’

Portrait raising the bar at Hampstead at Silver Ridge by Kerry Vital

Turning into the driveway of Portrait Homes’ Silver Ridge community, you immediately feel a sense of calm. Your shoulders relax, your head clears and you breathe a sigh of relief. Your new home at Hampstead at Silver Ridge awaits, surrounded by trees and green space, blending perfectly into the beauty around it. “It’s a quiet, natural setting,” says Vice-President of Marketing and Sales Troy Steine. “That appeals to a lot of people.” The 105-acre master-planned community of Silver Ridge in Maple Ridge has been in development for years, and Hampstead is the latest phase. Building on the popularity of past phases like Brighton and Stoneleigh, Hampstead features many of the beautiful details that have been so popular before, and adds a few unique touches of its own. “We really raised the bar for Hampstead,” Steine says. “There’s something for everybody.” The three- and four-bedroom singlefamily homes have seriously gorgeous exteriors, with custom stone detailing, natural-stained wood beams, heritagestyle front doors and professionally landscaped front and back yards. Curb appeal will never be a problem at Hampstead! Moving inside, you’ll find inviting foyers featuring custom tile flooring

The community itself is probably one of the most awarded communities in B.C.,” says Vice-President of Marketing and Sales Troy Steine. and nine-foot ceilings on the main level. Most plans include dramatic vaulted ceilings, which lend a huge sense of space to your new home. The five different floorplans, ranging from over 2,030 to 3,526 square feet, all have a great room layout, so you’ll easily be able to entertain in high style around the energy-efficient fireplace that features a custom-crafted wood mantel. The kitchen is a gourmet’s dream, with a work island with an eating/ conversation bar, full-height tiled backsplash, shaker-style cabinets and pot lights throughout. Those pot lights are featured throughout the home, so harsh lighting is a thing of the past. The master suite is an oasis of calm, with spacious walk-in closets, soaker tubs in the ensuite, granite bathroom countertops and a hand-set ceramic tile

Students on board with project Port Kells company teams up with Walnut Grove students to create longboards GARY AHUJA Times Sports

When Darren McKay pitched a project to his students, it wasn’t much of a tough sell for the Walnut Grove teacher. “It is something they can connect with,” he said. “Gone are the days of the making umbrella racks and planter stands. “When a project is more personal, they are more involved with the design.” A dozen students in his carpentry and joinery class at Walnut Grove Secondary School signed up. The project was initiated by a Port Kells company, GreenFoot Boards, which produces environmentally friendly longboards. A longboard is a longer variant of a skateboard and is commonly used for cruising, downhill racing, slalom racing or just as a mode of transportation. The idea to partner with a local school came from one of GreenFoot’s founders, Jackson Hilts, who is also a competitive rider. The company provided the students with blank decks — rectangular, uncut decks — for the boards at below retail cost. “I’ve seen lots of board building projects that other skaters or friends of mine have made in their schools,” he explained. “For the most part, I have been pretty unimpressed with finished products coming out of those classes. “Lots of people just glue a couple sheets of plywood together, thinking that will suffice,” he explained. “I figured ... we could get these students on longboards that would both last them longer and be of better quality than what they could have pressed.” The students were tasked with

Gary AHUJA/Langley Times

Walnut Grove student Mackenzie Sloboda (left) shows off her longboard to GreenFoot Board’s Jackson Hilts last Thursday. Sloboda was one of a dozen Walnut Grove students who took advantage of GreenFoot Boards’ help in making her own longboard. coming up with the designs. The first steps were to come up with the type of board they would be using — freeriding, carving, downhill, cruising — and then coming up with their design, which they first sketched on paper. The third step was to cut and shape a full scale prototype of the board on a piece of plywood or medium density fibreboard to make sure the design was perfect. The fourth step was cutting out and shaping the laminated blank decks. This involved using bandsaws, jigsaws, routers, drill presses, sanding machines, and other equipment. The next step was designing the board paint colours and graphics and applying them. And then finally, installing the trucks, wheels and grip tape. Altogether, the process took a couple of months. And on Thursday (June 7), Hilts was at Walnut Grove Secondary,

checking out the finished products. “I have kept in touch with the school over the entire process of the board building project and (Thursday) was the icing on the cake,” Hilts said. “I was stoked to see everyone eager to get out and ride their boards. “The satisfaction, for me, comes from seeing them step on a board for the first time, and start smiling. “From what Darren McKay has told me, the board building project garnered a fair bit of excitement among the students so hopefully we can keep growing the program and have more and more kids taking part next year.” “As an elective course, it has created a lot of buzz,” McKay said. “And it is nice to partner with a local business in the community that wants to get involved.” The students said that creating their own longboards required

patience and was a lot harder than they anticipated. But they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They also said they enjoyed making their projects unique and a reflection of themselves. Parker Brann based his design on a favourite TV show, My Little Pony. “When the opportunity came to make one, I jumped at it,” he said. “I wanted to make one of my own that you wouldn’t see anywhere else.” Cam Wass searched the internet for design ideas. “And I put everything that I liked into that design,” he said. For Mackenzie Sloboda, creating a longboard was great because she had to leave her other one back home in Saskatchewan, when she came to Langley. With her pink board sort of shaped like an eye, she decided to give it an eyeball design.

Home improvement tips During the warm weather, homeowners often make the time to do some home improvement projects. Whether you are looking to redo your kitchen and bath, or replace your home’s roof or built a deck, it is essential that you find a contractor that you can trust. Last year, the Better Business Bureau serving Mainland B.C. received 867 complaints against general contractors and home improvement related companies. This past spring, BBB has received reports of contractors in the ThompsonOKanagan and across the Lower Mainland who have intimidated homeowners and ended up charging too much and doing too little. “Watch out for red flags from those just looking to make a quick buck,” says Lynda Pasacreta, BBB president and CEO. “Be especially wary of doing business with a contractor who solicits business door-to-door. This could mean that the contractor is just passing through the area trying to scam innocent consumers.”

Staff helps raise $18,000

BBB advises consumers to use the following checklist when choosing a home contractor: Don’t give into sales pressure If a contractor shows up to your door offering services ask to take their business card or flyer. Do not let a person pressure you into signing up. Let them know you will contact them after consulting with your spouse or partner. Be picky and have lots of options Seek at least three bids from prospective contractors based on the same specifications, materials and labour needed to complete the project. Homeowners should discuss bids in detail with each contractor and ask questions about variations in pricing. The lowest-priced contractor may not be the best. Make sure they are insured Consumers should ask whether the company is insured with WorkSafeBC against claims covering workers’ compensation, property damage and personal liability in case of accidents.

Staff at the Aldergrove Financial Group has raised more than $18,000 for B.C. Children’s Hospital. “Our staff truly put their hearts into this fundraising initiative to provide funds for the children and the families that are in need of care and support through the

Consumers should obtain the name of the insurance carrier and call to verify coverage. Get everything in writing Read and understand the contract before signing. Get all verbal promises in writing. Include start and completion dates in the contract. Homeowners must hold back 10 per cent of the contract price until 55 days after the general contract is substantially completed, abandoned, or otherwise ended to ensure that all subcontracted companies are paid. This way, if there are liens from workers who did not get paid from the original contractor, the holdback may be used to help pay these liens. Do your homework As always, you can visit BBB’s website: www.mbc.bbb.org to look up an organization or file a complaint. You can also ask the contractor for local references, and get a chance to see the actual work done by the contractor. If the contractor does quality work, they should have no problem providing references.

B.C. Children’s Hospital,” said Aldergrove Credit Union CEO Gus K. Hartl. The money was raised through a variety of ways, including a raffle for a signed Kevin Bieksa jersey, bake sales, book sales and gift basket raffles, 50/50 draws, a penny drive where Aldergrove Credit Union

Be Wild Animal Aware The Township of Langley is full of wildlife habitat, and residents share the area with animals including bears, cougars, and coyotes. While residents throughout Langley do not need to be continually on alert, there are a number of actions that can be taken to deter wild animals if they are spotted in your area. Parents are encouraged to educate their children on what to do if they encounter any of these animals, especially if they play by themselves in areas that wildlife frequent or have been seen in the past. To help people coexist with creatures that are simply trying to survive but can be dangerous if provoked, the following information is offered:

Bears: are looking for food - don’t let them learn it can easily be obtained from humans. There have been a couple of bear sightings in Langley this season. If you encounter a bear, do not run. Act big and loud, and back away slowly to a safe place.

Cougars: can have kittens throughout the year, and family groups can be seen at any time. Cougars survive on natural food sources found in the wild, primarily deer. Cougar attacks on humans are highly unlikely. However, if you encounter a cougar, do not run. Pick children up immediately and talk to the cougar in a confident voice. Act big by waving sticks and branches, and back away slowly while still facing the cougar. If it attacks, fight back.

Coyotes: have the largest population of potentially dangerous

wildlife in the area and can be seen year round, even in residential areas. Family groups with pups, which are trained to hunt and kill, have been regularly seen around Langley. Coyotes are bold and easily lose their natural fear of people. Never feed a coyote. If you encounter a coyote, scare it off by making loud noise or throwing something at it to make it afraid. Never ignore a coyote. If it continues to approach, do not run. Maintain eye contact, pick up small pets or children, and slowly move to an area of increased activity.

Changes to Glover Road/216 Street Rail Crossing

NO LEFT TURN

Protect your investment by keeping fences secure and free of damage that predators can use for access. Coyotes burrow, so ensure surrounding netting goes deep into the ground. Use electric fencing to deter bears from blueberries and beehives, and pick berries and fruit as they ripen. Be vigilant with livestock and keep them secure. Farm animals are usually killed at night, so bring them inside in the evening. It is an offence to attract wildlife into a residential neighbourhood. Those who do not take steps to deter bears and other wild creatures can face a fine of up to $575.

North Langley Red Sox’ Tanner Bailey sees a pitch that he likes during the 9/10 tier 1 championship final against the Langley Yankees on Sunday at the George Zarrelli Diamond.The Red Sox won 12-1.

Several baseball divisions wrapped up their league playoffs over the weekend at North Langley’s George Zarrelli Diamond. The North Langley Mets edged the North Langley Angels 11-10 in the 9-10 tier II baseball final.The Mets trailed 6-2 but tied the game at 10 and then scored the winning run in the bottom of the sixth inning. Tyson Baker (Mets) and Joey Yeomans (Angels) earned the MVPs. The 9-10 tier I championship game saw the North Langley Red Sox pound their way to a 12-1 victory over the Langley Yankees. Nolan Premack (Red Sox) and Alexander Crone (Yankees) earned game MVP honours. The North Langley A’s edged the North Langley Dodgers 9-7 in the Major II championship game with the A’s Braden Warburton winning the MVP. And in the 11-12 Major I final, it was the North Langley Jays down the Langley Phillies 6-0 behind a one-hitter from game MVP Ben Whiton. Justice Chiasson earned the Phillies’ MVP.

LEC to host international volleyball

GARY AHUJA Times Sports

First hockey, then curling, and last month was basketball. And coming in September, volleyball will be the latest international sport contested at the Langley Events Centre. Langley will host the inaugural U23 Pan American men’s Volleyball Cup from September 25-30. The announcement was made on Tuesday. “On behalf of the Township of Langley, we are extremely excited to be hosting yet another major international event at the Langley Events Centre,” said Township Mayor Jack Froese. “The facility was built to be a hub in our community and the U23 Pan American men’s Volleyball Cup will be a fantastic showcase for both the facility and our community.” In the past eight months, the LEC has hosted three international competitions: the week-long World Junior A Hockey Challenge back in

November; the four-day Continental Cup of Curling in January; and the opening game of the Jack Donohue International Classic between the Canadian and Chinese women’s national basketball teams last month. The event is a new competition created jointly by the Norceca (North America, Central America and Caribbean) and the South American Volleyball Confederation, and will feature between four and eight teams. Some of the possible participants include Brazil,Argentina,Venezuela, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the United States. The event will be held every two years and Canada was tabbed to host the inaugural edition, said John Blacher, the director of operations for Volleyball Canada’s indoor national teams. And once the date was determined for late September, that ruled out Canada’s national B team, which concludes its season in late July. “The timing didn’t fit a normal program that we had (so) one of the

ideas we came up with was offering the competition to CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) schools for their consideration to host,” Blacher said. Several schools expressed interest, but the combination of the LEC and the Trinity Western Spartans — the two-time defending national champions — was selected. “There were a few schools that were keen to host (but) Langley was very aggressive in being involved,” Blacher said. “They will represent Canada very well.” This will be the second time the Spartans will represent Canada. Back in October, they played at the FIVB club world championships in Qatar, finishing 1-2 against the best pro teams in the world. “As a group, to have every guy getting the chance to represent your country on home soil, in front of friends and fans, it’s an opportunity that’s a blessing,” said Spartans coach Ben Josephson. “This is a very important age group

as it will help bridge the current gap between the level at which CIS athletes perform and the one needed to perform internationally,” said men’s U20 national team coach Glenn Hoag. “It complements very well the already existing junior category (20 and under) and it is important to have the support of CIS institutions in order for us to field a team every year in these events.Trinity Western University will represent Canada very well at this event as they will feature several athletes from our B and junior national team programs.” The competition will be staged in the LEC’s arena bowl. “We have had success with Trinity Western and volleyball in the past,” said Jared Harman, the LEC director of business development, referring to when the university hosted the CIS national championships at the LEC in 2011. “And we just thought it would be a great opportunity to host an event like this.”

Blaze edge Tritons 1-0

Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Langley Yankees’ Payton Farnese bolts from the batter’s box and towards first base during the 9/10 tier 1 championship final against the North Langley Red Sox on Sunday at the George Zarrelli Diamond.The Red Sox won 12-1.

Divers on the mark at B.C.’s Four local divers from the Fraser Valley Diving Club were on the mark at the B.C. summer provincial championships over the weekend in Victoria and for their efforts, have earned a trip to Saskatoon next month for the national championships. Kaileen Lingham was first in the women’s B group in both the one and three metre boards and fourth in the women’s open onemetre board. Kurt Breure won silver in both the men’s C group one and threemetre boards. Dayna Lysak was second in the threemetre and third in the one-metre while Julia Reinhard was first on the five-metre, second on the one-metre and fourth on the threemetre. All four will attend nationals. And Breanna Nicols achieved a personal best on the one-metre board.

Aaron Horanski drove in Michael Dagg in the second inning for the game’s only run as the Langley Blaze beat the White Rock Tritons 1-0. The two U18 B.C. Premier Baseball League rivals squared off at McLeod Park on Tuesday. Jon Bauer threw a complete game five hitter, striking out four and lowering his earned run average to 0.67. He also improved to 7-1 on the season. The loss moves Langley to within a half-game of first place as they have a 25-6 record. The team is back in league play on June 19 when they host the Fraser Valley Chiefs.

Not only did Braedon Dolfo capture the gold medal at the Harry Jerome Classic on Sunday, but the Langley sprinter set a new Canadian Paralympic record in the process. Dolfo, who is visually impaired, won the 200m event in 23.15 on Sunday at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. The medal was one of two Dolfo won and one of three others Langley Mustangs Track and Field athletes

for the 33rd annual Pacific Invitational 2012 B.C. Masters Championships. The three-day meet, which kicks off on Friday and runs until Sunday (June 17), is hosted annually by the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club. Close to a 1,000 athletes are expected, competing from the junior developmental age group (born from 1999 to 2003), midget (1997-98), youth (1995-96), junior (199394), open (ages 20-34), and master’s (ages 35 and up). The master’s group is split into five age groups. And this year, for the first time, there is a little rascals division, for athletes ages 6, 7 and 8.

Gallaugher was fourth in the long jump at 7.34m; Mustangs’ James Turner was fifth in the javelin at 53.50m and seventh in the long jump at 6.45m; Trinity Western Spartans Fiona Benson was fourth in the 1500m event at 4:22.97 while Walnut Grove Gators’ Ashley Windsor was 13th at 4:31.45; and Coquitlam Cheetahs Jarid Vaughan was fourth in the 100m with a time of 10.62. Vaughan is a R.E. Mountain graduate who attended the University of Texas at Arlington on a track scholarship. ••••• Track and field athletes from both sides of the border will be competing at McLeod Athletic Park

Senior Blaze heating up After a tough start to the season, the Langley Senior Blaze have turned things around with seven wins in their past 10 games. The most recent success came on the weekend as the Blaze won three of their four home games at McLeod Park in Pacific International League baseball action. Langley beat the Nanaimo Coalminers 4-1 and 4-3 on Saturday before splitting their doubleheader on Sunday with the Everett Merchants. The Merchants won the opener 5-0 before the Blaze took game two 4-2. In the opener, Aaron Dick and Matt Jones combined on a five-hitter, allowing just a single run in the 4-1 win over Nanaimo. Joe Germaine had two hits while Brooklyn Foster, Kevin McLeod, Bob Foerster and Ryan Jensen all drove in a run. And in the second game, Tony Farago’s fourth-inning single scored Brad Ferraro to snap a 3-3 tie. Farago, Foster and Tyler Barlow all had RBIs. Blake Stewart picked up the win, striking out nine over five innings. Against Everett on Sun-

Waivers of liability are common in sporting and recreational activities. You probably had to sign one to go kayaking, river rafting, mountain biking or snowmobiling. But what if you’re injured as a result of the tour operator’s negligence? Can you still sue and recover compensation? That depends. A waiver is a legal contract between you and the organization providing the recreational activity. Most activities requiring waivers are risky – that’s where some of their thrill comes from. So waivers reflect that you’re willing to assume those risks. But some waivers go much further and try to shift all the risks over to you. Normally a provider would be liable if you were injured as a result of its or its employee’s negligence. But waivers often explicitly state that you waive your rights to claim compensation, even if injured as a result of such negligence. Two women, injured in a ziplining accident in Whistler, recently lost their lawsuit because they signed such a waiver. One woman, 26, was sent down the line too soon and crashed into the other woman, 41, who was still suspended on the zipline. This was the result of the negligence of the operator’s employees, for whom the operator was responsible. The two women claimed the waiver document they signed was unconscionable and shouldn’t be upheld in court. Unlike other cases involving such waivers, like skiing accidents, they had no control over their activity and their safety was solely in the hands of the ziplining operator. But the B.C. Court of Appeal noted that both women knew they were signing a legal document affecting their legal rights. One ran a kickboxing/fitness operation where she herself explained and required participants to sign liability waivers. The other younger woman had

just finished law school. Steps had also been taken to bring to the women’s attention that they had to sign the waiver to go ziplining, and they were given enough time to read it. They could have chosen not to go and gotten a refund if they didn’t sign. On these facts, the court decided it wasn’t unconscionable to insist on the waiver, and there weren’t enough public policy reasons to set aside the legal contract. The court went on to say that it’s up to the government to change the law if thought appropriate. The provincial government has promised to look into this again to see if the law should better protect people taking part in risky or extreme sports. Waivers aren’t upheld in all cases, however. Because waivers are so onerous – you are giving up your rights – courts interpret them strictly. In an earlier B.C. case, a young woman who broke her back on her first skydiving jump won her lawsuit against the parachuting school even though she signed a waiver. The waiver was invalid because it didn’t specifically say the school would be protected from liability even if it was negligent. The school was negligent because it didn’t give her sufficient dive instruction and didn’t stop her from jumping even though she was visibly anxious. Also, if the waiver is in very small print and buried in some other type of document, or not properly brought to your attention, it may well not stand up. Consult your lawyer if injured in an accident even if you signed a waiver – you may still be entitled to compensation.

Silver for Xtreme at Kelowna tourney The Langley 98 Xtreme are 4-for-4 when it comes to finding the podium. The local fastball team added a silver medal to their collection — which already included a medal of each colour — at the Spring Sizzle U14B girls tournament hosted by Kelowna Minor Fastball over the weekend.

Langley had won gold the prior weekend at a tournament in North Surrey. The Xtreme dropped just a pair of games, both to the Ridge Meadows Rage 98, one of which came in the round robin, and the other in the championship final. In the final, the Rage exploded for five runs in the fifth inning to turn a

seesaw game into an 8-3 victory. The Langley squad went 3-1 in the round robin. In the opener, they were near perfection, allowing just a single hit in a 7-0 win over the Surrey Storm 99. Game two saw them pound the Delta Sunfire 15-2, before the Rage edged the Xtreme 5-3.

TWU annual event surpasses $3 million raised The annual Trinity Western University golf tournament set a new record over the weekend. The annual event held last week (June 6) raised more than $660,000, surpassing the $3 million mark in its 18 years. The money raised goes towards studentathlete scholarships and scholarship endowments. It was held at Coquitlam’s Westwood Plateau and featured guest speaker Larry Fitzgerald, of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals. “This was an experience I won’t forget for a long time,� Fitzgerald said. “I’ve been truly moved by the people of this university and how passionate [they] are and how committed [they] are to the cause. On every single hole, I was met by young men and women who were engaging, intelligent, passionate

about their craft and well-rounded. And as these students continue to move forward, I know the lives [they] touch will be greatly enhanced by [their] hard work and dedication.â€? “It has been an unbelievable team effort and a blessing to see this tournament grow over the last 18 years. We are truly thankful for the many corporate sponsors and donors that make this continued growth a reality. It is a real privilege to be a part of something that directly impacts students’ lives and helps develop our leaders of tomorrow,â€? said Steve Scholz, the tournament advisor. ••••• Former Trinity Western Spartans standout Adam Friesen will be named the new head coach of the Fraser Valley Cascades men’s basketball program this week. The 29-year-old

Friesen takes over for Barnaby Craddock, whose contract with UFV expired this month. Craddock chose to accept the head coaching job at the University of Alberta. Friesen was an assistant under Craddock for all five of the former coach’s seasons in Abbotsford. “It was a shock to the program. Everyone was disappointed,� Friesen said about Craddock’s departure. Friesen played from

2002 to 2005 with Trinity Western and still holds school records for career points, with 1,869 in 99 games and assists, with 443. He also holds the Spartans single season record for both categories, with 783 points and 183 assists, which he racked up during his first season. Friesen will be on a one-year contract. The Cascades are coming off their best season ever, a fourth-place finish

at the national championships. They return all five starters and also boast a strong recruiting class. ••••• The Fraser Valley Action remain unbeaten (3-0-2) in Pacific Coast Soccer League Premier women’s action after a lopsided victory and a scoreless draw. The Action hammered the visiting Surrey United SC 4-0 on Tuesday at Rogers Park on

the Trinity Western campus. They also played to a 0-0 draw at home on Sunday against the Vancouver Thunderbirds. Daniela Hampton scored twice in Tuesday’s win, while Rachel Antoniuk and Jessica King had the other Action goals. The Action are next in action when they host Peninsula Co-op (3-1-1) at Rogers Park on Saturday at 2 p.m. ••••• Langley Athletic managed just a single

point in a home-andhome series with PoCo City FC. The teams tied 2-2 on June 7 at McLeod Park but PoCo City won the rematch 2-1 on Tuesday. The results leave Langley Athletic with a 2-5-1 record in the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s Premier men’s division. Joseph Martin and Nate Turner scored in the first game while Turner had the lone Langley goal in the defeat.
