Two killed in Milner shooting

Langley’s Kayden Watson takes a tumble while mutton busting at the Langley Riders Society’s Little Britches Rodeo held on Sunday, June 24 in Brookswood.
A fatal shooting at a rural home on Glover Road on Saturday morning is now a double murder. One of the victims in the shooting was rushed to hospital in critical condition but passed away on Sunday, confirmed Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. IHIT has identified the two victims. The man found dead at the scene has been identified as 27-yearold Gordon Spencer. The man who later died in hospital has been identified as Bruce Mayo, 25. Neither of the deceased was a resident of the farm house, located in the 6400 block of Glover Road. Already a web page has started for Spencer to help raise funds for the young children he leaves behind. According to the website, he also leaves behind a fiance. Langley RCMP have been to that house before, said IHIT Sgt. Jennifer Pound. Five people were arrested at the scene, four men and one woman, believed to be between the ages of
17 to 22 years old. They have been interviewed and released without charges. Around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, Langley RCMP responded to a 911 call about a domestic dispute at the Milner home. When they arrived, five people were standing outside the home and the inside was heavily doused with bear spray, said Pound. Two men were inside the home, one had already died from gunshot wounds and the other was critically injured, she said. Pound said she didn’t know why the home had been bear sprayed. IHIT investigators were on the scene on Saturday morning, interviewing neighbours and gathering evidence from the home. A motive isn’t known at this time. According to court documents, a Bruce Mayo does have a criminal past. In 2008, he was charged with robbery and 2009 he was charged with dangerous driving. A Gordon Spencer has had minor brushes with the law but not in recent years, according to court documents.
Driver blew three times limit in middle of day Police officer reported smelling alcohol through closed car windows He must have been very, very drunk. The man behind the wheel of a vehicle which other motorists noticed was being driven erratically had a “distant, vacant” stare when a police officer banged on the window of his car. Even with the windows closed, the officer noticed the smell of alcohol coming from the man’s vehicle which the officer had noted was lurching as the driver put his foot
on and off the brakes. “The officer yelled and banged on the window in an attempt to get the attention of the driver,” said Cpl. Holly Marks, Langley RCMP spokesperson. “However, when the driver looked at the officer, he appeared to have a distant, vacant stare and did not acknowledge the officer’s presence.” Running around the vehicle, the officer tried all four doors, but found they were all locked. Marks said that the vehicle was on Glover Road, near 64 Avenue at about 2 p.m. on Tuesday, June 19. Alerted by dispatch, a Langley RCMP traffic officer spotted the vehicle going south on Glover. The vehicle

was slightly off the road in a construction zone, and was lurching forward. The officer ran to the vehicle fearing that the driver might be in medical distress, Marks said. When the driver appeared to be trying to move back into traffic, there was great concern because construction workers, flaggers and bystanders were in the area, she said. The officer broke the rear window on the driver’s side, reached in and unlocked the door so that he could turn off the ignition. Police launched an impaired driving investigation, and took a 62-year-old Surrey man back to the Langley detachment where his breathalyzer reading registered three times the legal limit.
Police plan to recommend charges to Crown counsel, Marks said. Shortly after 3 p.m. the next day, Langley Traffic Services came across another impaired driver who blew over the legal limit. “While all impaired driving is cause for grave concern, in both these instances the drivers were impaired in the early afternoon,” Marks said. She urged people to “please drive carefully, always (be) cognizant of your fellow motorists.” Police are requesting the Langley community to continue their vigilance against impaired driving by calling police if they see a driver they believe is impaired.

Water levels remain high, but stable MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
If flood waters do not recede soon, Glen Valley’s Frederick Munn could lose the estimated $30,000 to $40,000 he has invested over three years in an organic soil test garden at West Creek Farm. Munn, co-owner and general manager of the farm on River Road, said this is the highest he has seen the floodwaters rise since he came to the farm in 2000. The front fields have become a miniature lake, his raised garden project is nearly hidden under 10 inches of water and a pile of peat moss located at the side of the property will have to be moved to higher ground. “This is the worst year so far,” he said, while picking garlic plants from the garden, in an attempt to salvage them. “The water will rot the roots off the plants because they won’t get any oxygen,” Munn explained. On Friday afternoon, the water was seeping up from the water table, but should the Fraser River overflow into West Creek, which runs beside Munn’s property, flooding could get far worse, he feared. Flooding at Fort Langley’s Marina Park prompted the Township “I’m disappointed, it’s a lot of launch. work kind of wasted,” Munn said. “On the other hand, compared will continue to patrol the area. 84 Avenue and 88 Avenue, Fort to people who are worried “We just want to make sure Langley’s Marina Park and the about losing their houses, this is boat launch were shut down after everyone is safe,” Zwagg said. “We definitely a relatively small loss.” don’t want to endanger anybody. water began spilling onto them.

to close down the walking trail along the river and the boat
The Edgewater camping grounds were out of bounds, some of them under inches of water. Only pedestrians were allowed to walk on the path. Closer to Fort Langley, the Fort to Fort trail was cordoned off, but some people were ignoring the warnings, a Township official noted. The trail immediately east of the Bedford House restaurant was also closed off as the Bedford Channel waters inched further and further inland. At the site of the former Fort Langley-Albion Ferry, a security guard was preventing the curious
from venturing down the boat ramp. “It’s for their own safety,” said the guard, who would only allow boat owners access. As of Monday afternoon, water levels remained high but stable. Weather forecasts indicate cloudy weather for much of the week, and the river is expected to remain high.

The roads have been paved and sidewalks put in as work continues on the new roundabout at 232 Street and 56 Avenue. Councillor Kim Richter expressed concern at the June 18 meeting that there was ‘no action’ happening on the project.

Traffic issues dominated several discussions during Township council’s meeting on Monday, June 18 and so it was inevitable that the 232 Street/56 Avenue roundabout was raised. “It’s in very poor condition,” Councillor Kim Richter commented. “I’m very concerned about
the condition of that road. Why is the contractor not getting this done?” The surface on the approaches and around the edge of the roundabout itself are rough and uneven, and at the edge of eastbound 56 Avenue “there is a huge drop-off,” she said. “There is no action going on there,” Richter said, adding that she often drives in that area. Engineering director Ramin
Seifi advised that the majority of the work is being carried out at night. It needs to be done as soon as possible, Richter urged, noting that a “significant” accident has already occurred there. Paul Cordeiro, the Township’s transportation engineering manager, said later that weather permitting, the roundabout should be all but complete by the end of June.

Langley City Esso station gets go-ahead after two year delay The intersection of the Langley Bypass and Glover Road will be a hive of activity in the coming months with the construction of three new automobile dealerships and work on the new Mufford Crescent overpass underway a short distance to the north. And now that plans to build an Esso service station on the crossroads’ northeast corner have once again kicked into high gear, it will get even busier. On Monday, June 18, the proposal from Imperial Oil, passed fourth and final reading more than two years after it first came
before Langley City Council. The project received first, second and third reading in the spring of 2010, but then stalled while the Ministry of Transportation reviewed its options for the new Mufford overpass alignment. Once a design was chosen, leaving the Imperial Oil property unaffected, the Esso project was free to move ahead. Normally, if a project is deemed inactive for a period of one year, its proponents must begin the process anew. However, since the circumstances were beyond Imperial Oil’s control and “they wanted to be active,” the
project was permitted to pick up where it left off in the spring of 2010, explained City CAO Francis Cheung. The station’s design calls for 10 fuel pumps, a convenience store, a car wash and a Tim Hortons drive-thru window. Back in May, 2010, Mayor Peter Fassbender and Councillor Dave Hall both voiced concerns over traffic flow — specifically a proposed left turn bay into the station and how it would affect the movement of through traffic. Since that time, another engineering study has been conducted and City staff are com-
fortable that the design will not create any significant backups, said Cheung. Councillor Gayle Martin, who was absent from Monday’s meeting, had voted against the project at third reading, saying she couldn’t support it, because she didn’t believe the development sets the right tone for the City’s gateway. “I would love to support the rezoning of the property, if it wasn’t for a gas station, convenience store and car wash,” she said at the time. “I don’t think we need it as the entrance to our City.”

Health Matters
Much information is provided about the negative adverse effects of drugs but every now and then a positive side effect is discovered. Such may be the case with the statin drugs, used to manage cholesterol levels. A recent study has found a link between statins and a lower risk of depression. It is not yet known if this is a direct effect or if the improvement is due to reduced clogged blood vessels in the brain. Pancreatic cancer, while not common, does seem to be linked to type 2 diabetes, in some way. There is now news that a drug commonly used to treat diabetes, metformin, is related to a lower risk of pancreatic cancer – but only in women! Men, oddly, were not positively affected and the gender difference is being explored further. Metformin has also previously been associated with reduced breast and ovarian cancer.

Township stays put, for now ROBERT FREEMAN Bl;ack Press
Langley Township has no immediate plans to join the Fraser Valley Regional District. “If we can work within the regional district we have, and make them work better, we’ll be better off,� Township Mayor Jack Froese told The Chilliwack Progress Monday, after a meeting with Fraser Valley mayors Friday. But talks with the FVRD aren’t over, he added, as the Township still has some tough issues to work out with the Metro Vancouver Regional District and with TransLink, Metro Vancouver’s regional transportation authority. “It’s not a simple thing to do (to change regional district governments),� he said, “and we want to focus on what we can do now.� Froese and mayors from Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Mission met in Abbotsford for more than two hours to talk about regional district matters. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz, who is also the FVRD chair, said there was “no interest�
at the Friday meeting to create a new regional district comprised of Abbotsford, Mission and Langley Township. But the three Fraser Valley communities do share “similar challenges with transportation� as Langley, she said. “We’ve wanted a bus link to Abbotsford, and Abbotsford has wanted a link to Langley, our transportation issues are more common,� she said. Froese said the Township is waiting for a B.C. government audit expected in August that will show whether TransLink has the funds to expand its rapid bus system to Langley. Residents there have been paying into the service, but TransLink recently announced a decision to hold off on the expansion. The Township is also in a legal wrangle with Metro Vancouver that may decide whether a regional government can trump a local government’s autonomy in community planning. Metro Vancouver filed a motion in May to “quash� a Township plan to establish a “university district� around Trinity Univer-
sity using property within the Agricultural Land Reserve. It was this issue that sparked a special Township council meeting where leaving Metro Vancouver was first discussed. The issue was back on the council agenda Monday night, with a notice of motion to be debated. Last year,Abbotsford city council was looking at leaving the FVRD, but that idea was quashed by B.C.’s Minister of Community Development. The FVRD also showed in a report that it was not in Abbotsford’s financial interest to leave the regional district. Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman, who opposed the proposed FVRD move in his election campaign, was not available for comment Monday on why he called the Friday mayors’ meeting. Gaetz said the FVRD has not had any formal “direction� from Abbotsford about any new proposal regarding that city’s regional district membership. “We haven’t had (formal) direction from Abbotsford where they want to go,� she said.

Bridge tolls on the rise MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Tolls to cross the Golden Ears bridge are going up, again. As of July 15, it will cost drivers $2.95 to cross the river. The tolls, which pay for the building and operation of the bridge, will rise from five to 20 cents, depending on the type of vehicle, to cover the increase in the Consumer Price Index of 1.9 per cent over the past year. The tolling structure approved before the bridge opened includes an adjustment in toll rates to pay for the costs of construction, operating and maintaining the bridge which increase with inflation, said TransLink’s Drew Snider. The operational plan calls for an annual increase based on the
CPI, he said. When the bridge opened in July 2009, the toll for cars using a transponder was $2.75. It has gone up 20 cents since then. Registered vehicles without transponders cost $3.50, up from $3.45. Pay-as-you-go is still going to be the most expensive way to cross the bridge. A small car will cost $4.20 and a large truck will cost just over $10. More and more people are discovering the cost and time savings by using the bridge, he said. Usage was up 12.5 per cent in 2011 over 2010, to 9.8 million crossings. That trend is continuing in the first quarter of this year, with over 2.42 million crossings. “We will see an increase in traffic with more and more businesses setting up shop on the
north side of the river,” Snider said. Off-peak discounts have been implemented in the past to determine if this would generate additional usage and revenue. It did not, said Snider. “We aren’t looking at decreases in tolls,” said Snider. “The trick of it is, even when you factor in the toll, the rising cost of gas and wear and tear on your car if you go around, it’s still more economical to pay the toll.” The transponder used for the GEB can be used for the tolling of the new Port Mann bridge as well. How much it will cost to cross the Port Mann is expected to be announced this week. The project, which is run by the province, not by TransLink, is expected to open in December.

Langley Township council released on Monday night the names of five people who will serve on a task force on remuneration. The task force was proposed after councillors’ pay rose by 19 per cent in December, while the mayor’s pay rose 12 per cent. This is for the current council term. Pay raises are granted automatically every three years, based on the pay rates for councillors in several other municipalities. Named to the task force were Deanna Horn, a former president of Fraser Valley Real Estate Board; former Vancouver Board of Trade executive Darcy Rezac, a Fort Langley resident; former City administrator Bob Wilson; Andrea Soberg and Barbara Sharp.

Better way to set pay
Unnecessary subsidy
L
angley Township council has confirmed the appointment of five people to a remuneration task force, which will be charged with looking at council members’ pay, the way it is determined and a number of other issues surrounding the way politicians are paid by taxpayers. The members of the task force have a range of backgrounds and experiences, and should be able to do a good job in sorting out the details about council members’ pay. Among the issues they need to look into are these. How is it that council members’ pay has risen so dramatically in the past six years — far higher than the rate of inflation? How is it that what happens in several other municipalities is used as the sole basis for setting pay rates here? How do these same municipalities set their pay scales? If they too are based on what happens in other places, this becomes nothing more than a vicious circle. The members of the task force also need to consider that elected councillors (and the mayor) sought out these positions. They wanted to serve the public. The whole idea of public service implies that it is done without regard to remuneration. Yet remuneration, benefits and perks, such as travelling to annual conventions of the Federation of Canadian and Union of B.C. Municipalities seem to be seen as necessary by most members of council. Members of the public fund all the wages, benefits and perks that come to council members. Many of them haven’t seen a wage increase in years, yet are required to pay council members an additional 19 per cent as of last December, as a result of the Township policy automatically boosting council wages. No one suggests that members of council do not work hard. They are required to read a lot of material, attend meetings with staff and residents, visit neighbourhoods where their decisions have an impact, go to community events and answer phone calls and e-mails from the public. But they do so quite willingly. Each of them competed for the job of councillor against 26 others, and only eight of them made it. In the case of the mayor, who got a 12 per cent raise, three people sought the job. A new policy that better reflects taxpayers’ ability to pay, distinct Langley Township conditions and a willingness to set an example, would be a significant improvement.

hould people who can afford to pay higher prices for new electric vehicles get their auto payments and electric fuel subsidized? That is the question taxpayers should be asking in the wake of new developments in the creation and installation of electric charger stations. Metro Vancouver Parks and the city of Port Moody are among the early adopters of the technology. They will be paying at least part of the capital cost of these charger stations — at taxpayers’ expense — to encourage the use of electric vehicle technology. While it’s important to consider alternatives to gas-powered vehicles that create climate-changing greenhouse gases, it’s doubtful taxpayer-subsidized fuelling stations will make that much difference. For one, purchasing a new car is a costly investment and many people will balk at the higher cost of electric vehicles — and those who buy will be quite able to charge at home. As well, there are limited options available and only six cars are eligible for the full $5,000 point-of-sale incentive offered by the B.C. government. Many people in the market for a new car are opting to purchase pre-owned vehicles or smaller gas-powered vehicles to keep costs down. They don’t have the cash to shell out more for battery-powered cars that many fear are too new and too experimental. And while most drivers would like to do more to help the environment, it’s only those who can most afford the new technology who are likely to purchase an electric vehicle as a curiosity or as a second or third car. The regional district plans to spend $64,000 setting up six to eight stations where electric vehicles can be plugged in while their owners enjoy a park visit; about half of that will be covered by the province’s $2.74 million Community Charging Infrastructure Fund. In Port Moody, the city will pay about $16,000 for its share of four charger stations. This is a subsidy for the few who can afford to pay for their own fuel. —Tri-City News The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

letters AirCare takes aim at inaccuracies The
Langley Times
Editor: Re: AirCare needs to be shuttered, (The Times, June 19). The recent letter to the editor from Roland Seguin concerning the AirCare program contains many inaccuracies. It seems that Seguin has been getting his information about the AirCare program from a popular internet source which, unfortunately, contains a lot of misinformation posted by contributors without confirmation of accuracy. The truth is that AirCare is a user-pay, revenue-neutral program designed to identify and correct vehicles that are polluting excessively. By legislation, the AirCare test fees can be set no higher than what is needed to recover the operating cost of the program. All funds collected from motorists at the time of inspection must be applied to the operation of the program and to no other purpose. Therefore, someone who doesn’t own a vehicle pays nothing towards AirCare. Since only vehicles older than seven model years are required to be tested, more than 40 per cent of the vehicles registered in the Lower Mainland also pay nothing to AirCare. The AirCare program is delivered under contract to TransLink by a private company, Envirotest Canada. The contractor, employing about 150 British Columbians, will be paid $14.65 million in 2012 to operate the 10 inspection centres and 32 inspection lanes. There is no guaranteed profit margin. Pacific Vehicle Testing Technologies, a subsidiary of TransLink with 11 employees, administers the testing contract, provides
technical support to the repair industry, analyzes program data, and reports on the effectiveness of the program. The cost of these administrative functions, also covered by the inspection fees, varies from year to year, but is generally less than $2 million. Reports containing statistical data on every year of the program’s operation since 1992 are available on the AirCare web site at www.aircare.ca. TransLink also publishes financial data about AirCare in its public reports. Fluctuations in test volumes means that the program tends to alternate between making and losing some money over the years, but the goal is always to reach a net zero result at the conclusion of the program. Since 1992, the AirCare program has been effective at reducing vehicle-generated emissions. In fact, approximately 930,000 individual vehicles have failed an AirCare inspection at some point over the past 20 years. In addition to identifying excess-emitting vehicles, AirCare has worked closely with the repair industry to enhance the skills of automotive technicians so that failing vehicles can be effectively repaired. Much of the emission reduction attributable to AirCare is the direct result of repairing or replacing defective components such as oxygen sensors and catalytic converters. However, the program provides additional emission reductions through other mechanisms such as improved preventative maintenance and pre-inspection
Use funds wisely
Editor: Give me a break. Someone take hold of that group of people at TransLink and give them all a good shake. They just finished telling everyone that they have no money to expand transit services to those of us living south of the Fraser in Surrey and Langley, even though they keep accepting our hard-earned tax dollars. However, they think they have the money to build a new six-lane Pattullo Bridge. With what — buttons? This of course could just be a “smoke and mirrors” effort to play one project against the other, as we know they are so adept at doing. TransLink has no money for transit services, but they managed to come up with $500,000 to support a bike lane in downtown Vancouver. Stop with the “pie in the sky” ideas and start focusing on providing and improving services to the people who are paying the bills, and your bloated salaries. There is only so much money to go around. Use it wisely. D. Atkinson, Langley The

repairs done by motorists who want to avoid failing the test, and accelerated fleet turnover prompted by the retirement of vehicles that are not worth repairing. An independent review of the program conducted in 2010 suggested that the effect of AirCare on light-duty vehicle emissions in calendar year 2010 was between 15 and 21 per cent, on a health-weighted basis. The technology to eliminate 90 per cent or more of harmful tailpipe emissions from vehicles has been required on all new vehicles sold in Canada since the 1998 model year, although emission controls were first required as long ago as 1971. Although vehicles continue to become cleaner, reaching about 99 per cent reduction in 20042006, the greatest strides have been made in making vehicles more resistant to wear and tear and in reducing the need for periodic maintenance in order to prevent deterioration of the emission control system. It is this improved durability of vehicles manufactured since model year 1998 that has allowed the exemption of vehicles from testing for seven years and continues to reduce the failure rate. However, failures are found in all model years currently being tested, ranging from about three per cent for 2005 models to more than 30 per cent for pre-1980 vehicles. The current overall failure rate, based on the number of failed inspections divided by the total number of inspections, is about 10 per cent and about 35,000 vehicles will fail in 2012, many for the first time ever.
Vehicle manufacturers have been required to include an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system on all vehicles since 1998. For this reason AirCare transitioned to an OBD test in calendar year 2007 for these newer vehicles. Since then, the failure rate for OBDequipped vehicles has been consistently around five per cent, meaning that these vehicles are being presented for testing with the dashboard “Check Engine” light illuminated. Fortunately, the success rate for OBD repairs is very good and almost all of these vehicles have been successfully repaired. It remains to be seen what the rate of defect development will be in future years and how responsive vehicle owners will be to the “Check Engine” light coming on when mandatory emission testing no longer exists. However, it is likely that the failure rate will continue to decrease as pre-1998 vehicles drop out of use. The decision to end AirCare testing after 2014 has now been made. Until then, the program will continue to screen the older portion of the vehicle fleet to identify the highest polluters and require that they be repaired. As someone who has been with AirCare since it began, I am proud of the past accomplishments of this program and remain committed to keeping AirCare as effective and efficient as possible in its remaining years. Dave Gourley, general manager, AirCare
Union wants AirCare retained Editor: Re: “AirCare Needs to be Shuttered,” (The Times, June 19). The COPE 378 members who work at AirCare are concerned about their jobs and the jobs of their nonCOPE colleagues. But they are also concerned about the move to exempt passenger vehicles from AirCare, because they are proud of the work they do as part of this successful environmental initiative.

No easy fix for 248 and Fraser, Township Councillors told NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
There was little comforting news for motorists who regularly use the intersection of Fraser Highway and 248 Street. Project engineer Richard Welfing advised council on June 11 that crash history does not justify making major changes at the intersection, which ranked 26th in the 2011 crash statistics. Welfing said that traffic delays and volumes “are significant,”
especially for vehicles eastbound on Fraser Highway. The speed limit is 80 km/h on Fraser Highway, and 50 km/h on 248 Street. The Township has made modifications to enhance safety at the intersection, adding left-turn bays and advance left-turn signals. The ideal solution, Welfing said, is to widen Fraser Highway to four lanes. The current cost is $4 million per kilometer but, given
the topography and the location of utility poles, the cost would likely be higher, he said. Fraser Highway carries about 25,000 vehicles a day, while 248 Street carries about 4,400 vehicles a day north of Fraser Highway, and approximately 2,600 south of the major arterial road. Because of the vast difference in volume in the four legs of traffic, a roundabout would be unsuitable, Welfing said. Council received the report and took no action.
Rail regulations ‘onerous, unclear’ NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
Transport Canada’s new regulations governing safety at road and railway intersections are too onerous, are unclear and leave Langley Township holding the bag financially. Transport Canada announced modifications to the Railway Safety Act in January. With several major
rail corridors and railways operating within its boundaries, the Township is directly affected, having responsibility within the road right of way. Between them, Southern Rail, CP and CN have 33 roadrail crossings in the municipality, and among the concerns is that the proposed modifications make no reference to the process for banning
train whistles in built-up areas. “This is often a common concern for municipalities and a clear and consistent reasonable process would be beneficial,” the Township’s manager of transportation engineering wrote to Transport Canada in April. Paul Cordeiro agreed that the responsibility for construction and maintenance

of crossing surfaces rests with the railway companies, but states that the Township should be able to “prescribe additional minimum performance standards, such as an asphalt surface that meets technical specifications.” The Township is not happy with another major change which allows a crossing to be blocked by a train for up to 10 minutes. The current maximum rules allow for five minutes, Cordeiro noted in his letter. Furthermore, there is no clearly defined role for the federal transportation authority in the administration of policy and standards, financial contributions, and no mechanism for dispute resolution. Another concern is defining the responsibility for the significant requirement for inventory, data collection, and an ongoing inspection program “which is currently not being undertaken and would add significant costs” to the municipality. On June 11, council agreed that while it supports the intent to improve safety at road-rail crossings, it does not support the proposed modifications, and wants more time to undertake a thorough review of the changes. A meeting between Township staff and Transport Canada is planned.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it works. If you come in and buy less than 10 of any of our selected annuals in 4â&#x20AC;? pots, our cashier is going to charge you the regular price (1.99 to 2.99). And she is going to smile (and maybe hum) while she does it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because most of our cashiers have a bit of a mean streak. However, if you are clever and buy 10 or more (mix and match all you want) she will charge you $10 for every 10 you buy. That's a buck apiece for the mathematically challenged.) Save $10 to $20 on each group of 10.

Walking through the front door of Cherry Bomb Salon, you are greeted by canvases of Marilyn Monroe and other Hollywood classics, bright pink pumps and shiny red lipstick. This certainly isn’t any ordinary shop. Where else can you find a “Marilyn Colour Bar,” a “Hello Daddy” haircut or an “I’m Your Cherry Bomb” conditioning treatment? This old Hollywood blast from the past menu is synonymous with the heritage vibe of Fort Langley and the large personalities and dress of the staff as well. “We are a unique bunch by nature I think,” said owner Crystal Arychuk. “We have a huge amount of fun and our clients that are used to seeing us over the years know how we work. They come in here and they giggle and they laugh while they have a refreshment.“ All of the stylists have worked together in past salons for many years and have now band together to create their own unique brand. Their personalities speak for themselves and the fun-filled atmosphere they have created is contagious. The Cherry Bombs themselves, Allison, Fox, Bethan and Kat, can master all of your hair needs in a very entertaining fashion. Crystal, the owner is a Master Waxing Techician & Esthetician. Everyone is made to feel welcome and a part of one large family. “The way we handle our clientele isn’t really like clientele,” said Crystal. “We handle people here like we would in our own house. And I really do think that’s what will set us apart from everyone else. We don’t

want you to feel like you’ve wondered into a business where we are going to take your money — we want you to feel like you’ve wondered into a home away from home.” Among the chattering Cherry Bombs is also one man — Shaun Reitz, Crystal’s husband. He’s the one who has been working behind the scenes to help make the salon the huge success it has become since opening one year ago. “When we decided that we were all going to come together and do this, there was five women and one man. The man is the silent partner and he is the one that gave us the financial means to make this happen. He is also the man that comes in here and fixes everything that’s broken. He’s the guy that makes things work,” Crystal said. He is also the Cherry Bomb design guru. Much of the Elvis artwork and 1950’s vibe comes from him as much as the stylists at work. “When you look around the room and see elements of Old Hollywood, that’s him,” Crystal said. “He has added his own flair.” Cherry Bomb is a full service hair salon. You name it, these talented stylists will do it. Attention has been given to every little detail in the regular salon routine to make sure that all aspects of the typical wash- cut-and-dry are made into a unique experience. Their Washhouse has a shampoo and conditioner menu that can be customized to every client’s individual preference.
They come in here and they giggle and they laugh while they have a refreshment.

You choose your own blend of essential oils for scent, your own treatment, and whatever else you desire. “This is the area where you no longer wander in and get your hair washed, your head scrubbed and massaged, it’s a whole other experience,” said Crystal. “This is station one before you get to station finish. This is an entire service all on its own.” There are also full esthetics available through “Waxxed Etc ...” with services provided by owner Crystal Arychuk. Services includes full body waxing for men and women, facials, manicures, pedicures and lash and brow tints. This is a place where you will get top-notch, customized service without the stuffiness and hierarchy of other salons. It’s all about having a good time and enjoying your visit. “We have promoted a very open door policy here,” said Crystal. “We want people to literally walk in here and feel so comfortable they wonder off to the fridge and get themselves something to drink.” Whether you are a first time customer, a long time client or a staff member, everyone here has a say. Each of the stylists have created their own companies within the Cherry Bomb brand so everyone has a vested interest in making sure each and every client has the best experience possible. “What makes us unique is the staff to Cherry Bomb,” said Crystal. “Literally you walk into a room full of management. And again I think that sets us apart from everyone else. You have people in this room that can make decisions, where does that ever happen?”

millions of dollars for heart disease and stroke research, health education and social change, provided by the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The foundation has used the funds for several heart-related programs for children and youth.

Join us for Langley’s 16th Annual Canada Day Celebrations!
CANADA DAY 2012 June 30 & July 1 • 11am-11pm • McLeod Athletic Park, 58 Avenue & 216 Street (Across from the Langley Airport)
Celebrate Canada's 145th Birthday Get ready to party for two full days this year at the Langley Canada Day celebrations. One day couldn't possibly hold all the fun and excitement planned so organizers are carrying on the tradition of having a two-day celebration. Because the holiday falls on a weekend (July 1st is Sunday) the gates will be open from 11:00 am - 11:00 pm for both June 30 and July 1st. The festival started on the grounds of the Langley airport but as the airport grew the festival needed to be moved to the adjoining McLeod Park. (216 Street and 56th Avenue) where it remains today. The Canada Day festival is a family oriented event and will feature something for everyone. Saturday night features a Movie in the Park. After some terrific Canadian "shorts" there will be a screening of The Lorax. A spectacular fireworks displays explodes in the sky on Canada Day at 10:30 p.m. The ever-popular colouring/ drawing contest is back and the prize again is a child's dream playhouse. This prize is due to the
efforts of students in the Langley School District's Carpentry Apprenticeship at Aldergrove Community Senior Secondary School. The main stage will sizzle both days and nights with the music of Abba and Michael Buble. These tribute bands aren't to be missed. Featuring the music and magic of Abba, Abra Cadabra rocked the main stage last year and will not fail to get you up and dancing to the music of the 70's! On Sunday, SWAY takes the stage and will be burning up the stage as Michael Buble. It's going to be a record breaking party so make plans today to attend the only two-day Canada Day festivities in Western Canada. "Non stop entertainment and fun abounds all day long both days. There will be lots to look at and fabulous food. Come on out and have a ball", said Travis Strain, President Langley Canada Day Society.

CANADA DAY 2012 Myriad of Field Activities to enjoy. Festival Will Continue to be a 2 Day Event
One day wasn’t enough for the huge number of activities taking place at the 2012 Langley Canada Day celebrations. Organizers vowed to ensure that the event stayed a two day festival and they have been successful. Early this spring Grace J. Fong, an employee of The Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope stepped up to be the volunteer Director of Field Entertainment and coordinate the many activities that make Langley Canada Day a fun and family friendly event. Fong has a philosophy about what families need and how Canada Day is a positive family experience. “The objective of keeping this two-day 50,000 people event alive is to keep the joyous and respectable family oriented community together. she said. “It is the family and positive community that keeps our nation alive.” she added. In addition to the non stop field entertainment, two members of the BC Lions will make an appearance from 2:00 until 3:00 p.m. on July 1st. They will be signing autographs and handing out some cool BC Lions giveaways! Something new has been added this year. The LAMB Motoring Club will host a Show and Shine from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.
on Canada Day. Vintage car enthusiasts can still register with the club at lambmc@telus.net Both days will feature different shows and demonstrations throughout both days. The Dogwood Pacesetters Canine Sports team will be presenting their ever- popular dog show. “Come and watch the antics of your four legged best friends”, said Fong. The Laughing Stock Ranch will offer pony rides for kids and many of the ponies will be available to be petted by kids of all ages. Lutini the magician will be strolling the grounds providing some amazing roving entertainment that will intrigue and astound you. There are lots of interactive games to enjoy. Have a game of laser tag. Take a ride on the Swing Ride, Carousel, Wild Rapids giant slide and many other fun rides. Climb on the climbing walls or get into a foam dance pit. “There is something for everyone!” said Travis Strain, president of the Langley Canada Day Society. On June 30th the day ends with a movie in the park and as on Canada Day there will be a spectacular “happy 145th birthday Canada’ fireworks show as a grand finale to the celebration. LILIANNE FULLER

• July 1, 1867, Canada became a self-governing dominion of Great Britain and was made up of four provinces: Nova Scotia; New Brunswick; Ontario; and Quebec. The name Canada derives from an Iroquoian word for “village,” kanata, that French explorers heard used to refer to the area near present-day Quebec City. On June 20, 1868, the Canada's Governor General, the Viscount Monct proclaimed that Canadians should celebrate the anniversary of the confederation.
known as Canada Day. • July 1 is a statutory holiday in Canada unless it falls on a Sunday; then it moves to July 2nd. • Some famous people born on Canada day: Pamela Anderson, Dan Akroyd, Lady Diana the Princess of Wales, Missy Elliott, Jamie Farr, Rod Gilbert, Debbie Harry, Olivia de Havilland, Estee Lauder, Carl Lewis, Sydney Pollack, Alan Ruck, Liv Tyler. • Canada Day kicks off, what Canadians call, “those two months before winter starts”

CANADA DAY 2012 Aldergrove Community Senior Secondary Students provide 1st Prize for Canada Day Colouring Contest For the past five years, the Langley Canada Day Society has been the recipient of Langley School District's carpentry apprenticeship program's community based project. For the fourth year in a row, students from carpentry apprenticeship program at Aldergrove Community Senior Secondary have shown off their carpentry skills and built a 4' x 8' multi level play centre. With the help of community sponsors the students build a play house which is used as the first prize for the Langley Canada Day's colouring contest. Aldergrove Community Senior Secondary runs a carpentry apprenticeship program for the Langley School District and is headed up by teacher Andy Gaumont who is the head of the District's Carpentry Dual Credit Program. He uses this as one of the major projects alongside the sheds they build and sell each year. "I strive for my program
SUMMER SALE Canada Day Weekend
to do at least one community based project each year. I have local suppliers and businesses donate materials for the playhouse: Wilway Lumber has been a regular supporter of our program for many years. This year, Menzies metal, Universal Rope, and Norco Manufacturing have also donated materials for the playhouse," he said. This year's colouring contest was slightly different because it will test a child's drawing abilities and imagination. The participants are asked to draw what they think is representative of Canada Day. Participants are asked to bring their efforts to the Canada Day celebrations at McLeod Park and drop it in a specially marked bin. Once the judging is complete the winner will be announced.

Catch
& release Juggler-comedian Matt Henry brings his ‘Trained Human’ act to the Summit Theatre in Langley’s Cascades Casino BRENDA ANDERSON
Times Reporter
For a lot of teenagers coming out of high school, deciding what to do next can be a bit of a toss-up. You might even say it’s a time of life when things are a little ‘up in the air.’ Wisconsin’s Matt Henry took a slightly more literal view of that conundrum than most. He decided to become a professional juggler. Now based out of Seattle, Henry will bring his “Trained Human” act to the Summit Theatre in Langley’s Cascades Casino on Saturday, July 21. The term, defined on his web page as “a specialist skilled in juggling, comedy, and other esoteric pursuits; a master of the unnecessary,” is really a “catch-all” for everything Henry’s comedic act encompasses, he explained over the phone from Vancouver. And it involves a whole lot more than throwing and catching pins. For example, he has one bit involving a balloon, a set of bellows, a barbecue fork, a couple of balls and a kazoo (probably best if you check that one out for yourself at trainedhuman.com). But everyone has to start somewhere, and for an “awkward” Midwestern adolescent, juggling was something he could do alone in his free time, Henry explained. And as his skills quickly improved, his passion for the pastime grew. “(With juggling) there’s an
instant feedback loop for your sense of accomplishment,” said Henry. “It’s like music and martial arts — the more you put into it, the more you get out of it.” Joined by other “juggling oddballs” from his Madison, Wis. high school, Henry helped form the West High Jugglers. Their first show earned them a standing ovation and set the course for Henry’s future. But if he was going to wow crowds on a regular basis, Henry quickly realized that it wouldn’t be enough to simply stand on a stage, throwing and catching stuff. He needed an act. And, if his parents were to be believed, he also needed an education. After graduating from college, Henry tucked his linguistics degree in his pocket and moved to New York, where he could hit the streets and get back to what really mattered. He busked in front of some of the world’s most notoriously tough critics for a few years, until the big call finally came from the House of Mouse. Henry spent the next two years performing at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. He did five shows a day, six days a week —amounting to roughly 8,000 performances — often in scorching, 100-plus degree heat. “Disney really cranks them out,” he laughed. But all that practice paid off
when Henry parlayed his skills into a world championship title — and then got to crisscross the world he’d conquered, performing across Asia and Europe. “I’m really lucky. I’ve gotten to travel a lot with this job,” said Henry, who’s spent the past five years working on cruise ships in the Caribbean and up the west coast to Alaska. Despite his own success, Henry believes his craft doesn’t quite get the level of respect it deserves. “There is a little bit of an anti-juggling bias in today’s society. When you watch America’s Got Talent, they usually send the jugglers off pretty quickly,” he said. Part of that, he thinks, is the way the skill set has been pigeon-holed. When people think of juggling, there are a few specific images that pop into their minds, said Henry. Usually it involves the circus, street performances or children’s birthday parties. “There’s this whole other world people don’t know about,” he said. “I’m trying to bring people into this world that encompasses all the different skills and styles of presentation.” ••• Audiences are invited to enter Matt Henry’s world when he performs on Saturday, July 21 at Cascades Casino, 20393 Fraser Hwy. Tickets are available for $22.50 from Casino Guest Services. Charge by phone 604-530-2211 or online at www.ticketweb.ca. Doors open at 7 p.m.; show starts at 8 p.m.
“There’s a little bit of an anti-juggling bias in today’s society.”

Banana bread backlash was as instant as it was intense
Expert Jewellery Repairs by Langley’s Premier Jeweller
Stance against the beloved loaf stirred up plenty of emotion among readers
W
ho knew a little rant on banana bread in my last column would result is so much feedback? It was instant, the ink wasn’t dry on the paper. People tracked me down at the store, via email, hassled me on Facebook and even on the phone. I considered briefly the need to relocate. Had I known the level of passion and commitment people have towards banana bread I never would have even thrown my two cents into the ring. I had no idea it was sacred and I was on such a slippery slope. How could I decry banana bread? It was like I ran over someone’s dog. I “obviously just haven’t had a good one,” I “clearly haven’t been making it right” or “tried the right variation.” Nope. I’m pretty sure I have had some of the best banana bread ever baked but I still can’t love it. Deal people.

Cyclists deliver one-two punch at nationals A pair of local riders delivered a one-two punch at the Canadian road time trial championships. Langley’s Svein Tuft and Christian Meier won gold and silver, respectively last Thursday (June 21) in Lac Meagantic, Que. Tuft posted a time of 47 minutes and 26 seconds on the 39-kilometre course to win his fifth straight Canadian time trial title and his eighth overall. Meier was 2:08 behind his teammate, who both ride for Australian team Orica-GreenEdge. Despite the victory,Tuft was passed over by Cycling Canada to represent the country at the upcoming London
Summer Olympics. With just one spot for a Canadian rider in both the road race and time trial, Cycling Canada chose Ryder Hesjedal, who made history last month as the first Canadian to win the Giro d’Italia. Tuft said he understands the decision, adding that the problem is that Canada only had a single spot. As for riding at nationals,Tuft said it was all preparation. “I wanted to defend the title, of course, but for me, my approach and the way I ride are more important to me than the result,” said Tuft on his team’s website.
“I’m not interested in only having a good ride today, I’m looking down the road at the world time trial championships. It’s a huge goal for the team, and I want to contribute to us having a good crack at it there. Every time I’m on the time trial bike, it’s in preparation for that end of the season goal.” “Today is super satisfying,” he added.“I did everything I could with the course I had.” The course favored Tuft’s strengths. “The time trial was run on wide open roads over heavy rolling terrain,”Tuft said.“It was hot and windy
today. We did three laps, and on the return trip, we climbed into a headwind. As long as the climbing isn’t too steep, a heavy course suits me.” Experienced in time trials of this distance in all conditions, Tuft cut back on his warm-up and paid extra attention to his hydration ahead of the effort in the heat. “I’ve learned that a long warm-up isn’t important when it’s this hot,” noted Tuft.“It’s far more important to focus on cooling efforts and hydration. I definitely did that. I spoke regularly with Marc Quod, the trainer for our team. He kept me on course for the appropriate approach. While
my experience has helped me know how to prepare, it’s definitely nice to have him as back-up to guide me.” In addition to contact with Quod, Tuft and Meier enjoyed on-site support from the British Columbia provincial team. “They’ve been really super to us. They have no obligation to look after us.They have a bunch of young kids — juniors, U23 riders, upcoming guys. They run a good program, and we’re lucky to have their support. Meier will serve as the Pro Ride ambassador for the Prospera Valley GranFondo, which takes place July 22 in Fort Langley.

Langley had won their previous game, June 20 at the Langley Events Centre, thanks to their highest offensive output of the season, a 16-11 win over the Maple Ridge Burrards.
The Coquitlam Adanacs continue to be a thorn in the side of the Langley Thunder. For the second time in the past three games, the A’s handed the defending Western Lacrosse Association champions a loss. The most recent was on Saturday at the Poirier Sports Complex as Coquitlam won 12-4. The loss drops the senior A Thunder to 6-4-0, although they

Blaze burn Chiefs
HOLDING BACK
Mitchell Robinson’s sixth-inning single drove home a pair of runs as the Langley Blaze rallied for a 3-2 victory. The Blaze were hosting the Whalley Chiefs on June 19 at McLeod Park and the win improves Langley to a B.C. Premier Baseball League-leading 26-6. The last-place Chiefs (6-21) had gone ahead in the top of the sixth with one run but the Blaze responded with a leadoff double from Mason Cratty and then a Josh Wray single. And after Tanner Shaer replaced Wray as a pinchrunner, Robinson brought both Cratty and Shaer home to reclaim the lead. Robinson had all three RBIs, scoring Bill Germaine in the second with a sacrifice fly. Jon Bauer pitched a complete game three-hitter, improving to 8-1 with a 0.72 earned run average. Langley hosts the North Delta Blue Jays (11-19) at McLeod Park. ••••• The Langley Bandits are going to the provincial championships. The U16 fastpitch team earned that right after winning the district 8 championships at Abbotsford’s Exhibition Park. The Bandits broke open a tight game in the fourth inning, short-circuiting the Mission Voltage 7-2. The victory gives Langley the right to represent the district at the U16 provincial championships July 6-8 in Port Alberni.

Darren had an endless sense of adventure, his gold panning and warm weather treks took him far and wide; and he made friends wherever he went. Darren was truly happy outdoors; he felt at home living in the mountains with his dogs for weeks at a time or trekking through jungles with friends. Darren was a creative soul and he was excellent at working with his hands whether building furniture or craving soap stones or making jewellery and clocks with the gold he panned. Darren had a mischievous smile, a twinkle in his eye and he lived life with a big heart and open mind. He never judged people, anyone was welcome at his table. He was his own man and lived his life the way he wanted to live it. Predeceased by his dad Walter, survived and so very loved by his mom Clara, sisters Shelley and Lizanne and by his brother-in-law and friend Randy and brother-inlaw Mike, nephew Steven and niece Katie, his special Auntie Diane as well as uncles, cousins and friends. Gone too soon, Darren had lots of living left he wanted to do. We all so wish he could have got to do it and come home and share his stories and pictures with us the way he always has. Darren you are forever loved and you will be missed more than you could ever know, you will always be with us. To remember Darren, please join us at the Langley Golf & Banquet Centre, 21550 - 44th Ave. Wed. June 27th at 5 p.m.

Harvey Edward Williams It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Harvey Edward Williams of Langley BC on June 12, 2012 at the age of 87 with loving family at his side. Harvey was born in Vancouver on November 13, 1924 to the late Aneda and Edward Williams also of Vancouver. He joined the Canadian Airforce at age 17 until age 21 where, during that time, Harvey trained to become a chef. He married the late Joanne Berquist and they had three loving children. Harvey and family ran a grocery store in San Jose, California for a few years before returning to BC to open his own store, Harvey's Meats, in Langley, BC in 1970. Harvey and Joanne were active members of the Langley community, always participating in Langley Days with Harvey building floats and wife Joanne lending her expertise to the St. Johns Ambulance Service. On Harvey's property stand two immense museums both designed without plans and hand built by Harvey over a period of almost two decades. Filled with antiques collected by Harvey and his children, these museums have seen hundreds of visitors throughout the years, numerous newspapers articles and were also featured in a recent episode of Canadian Pickers where Harvey proved that even at age 85, you're never too old to ride a coin operated horse. During his last months, he maintained his sense of humour and kept the staff at Langley Memorial Hospital and all who shared in his life laughing with his rhymes and singing. Harvey is predceased by his loving wife Joanne and sisters Gwen and Lorene. He is survived by his three children, Harvey Jr, Greg and daughter Janice, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. His kind heart and contagious humour will be deeply missed. Memorial service will be held at Hendersons Funeral Home on Fraser Hwy in Langley on June 29, 2012 from 1:00pm-4:00pm.

THE LANGLEY TIMES PRESENTS
FUTURE
The Langley Times is very pleased to be publishing our second edition of “Faces of The Future” which will be celebrating students who have reached excellence in academics, sports, arts & entertainment and community involvement. We will be profiling nominees from the 2012 Pete Swenson Outstanding Community Youth Awards, the Langley School District Celebration of Achievement Award Winners along with elementary students who have been recognized by their respective principals for going above and beyond the call of duty. This is not a competition but a publication that celebrates a small sample of our Langley youth and future leaders. The Langley Times would like to thank the Langley School District and principals for their tremendous support to make this publication happen. Langley has a reputation for being a great place to raise a family and “Faces of The Future” is a publication that proves that our community is in good hands for many future generations. For an online version of “Faces of The Future” please visit us at www.langleytimes.com (go to the bottom right corner and click on e-editon). The Langley Times realizes there are many outstanding youth in our community that are worthy of being published in “Faces of The Future” but space is limited. On behalf of the staff at The Langley Times please take a moment and congratulate all Langley youth who make a positive contribution to our community. Enjoy!

of the Ashley Bull Walnut Grove Secondary Not surprisingly, Ashley Bull has her sights set on becoming a teacher and high school coach. Most of her free time — when not dominating on the field lacrosse pitch — is spent either helping out teachers in the classroom or volunteering in some capactity at the school. But her efforts are not limited to just school either, as Bull has spent time preparing food and serving some of the less fortunate members of the community through Walnut Grove Secondary’s Humanitarian Club. “It is a good feeling knowing you have helped someone in a time of darkness for them,” she says.
Deven Azevedo Apex Secondary School
18PS &
SHO ES S E RV I C
A Grade 11 student at Langley Fine Arts School, was the youth winner of the Langley Environmental Hero awards earlier in June. A resident of Fort Langley, Deven founded the composting program at the school. “It is important to me,” says Deven, “because it’s important for society’s sustainability. I think recycling and composting are important parts of ensuring a prosperous future for humankind.” Deven recruited several other students for the project and solicited start-up funding from the Parent Advisory Council. They built composters, set up compost bins in the school hallways and classrooms and started collecting. Compost is returned to the school’s garden. The group collects more than 100 litres of compost a month. Deven Azevedo is also working to start a community garden in the Bedford Landing area, and he volunteers for Langley Environmental Protection Society.

Amara was our “Belle” and she was a star! She has been completely involved in all of the music-related courses at Poppy during her tenure here. She has an incredible voice and her presence on stage completely blew us all away. Her gift is music but she is an accomplished writer and academic as well with a 97% average in her classes. In addition to everything that she does at school, she volunteers her time with Fraser Valley Gleaners distributing food products to third world countries, and is also involved in a peer tutoring and reading program with elementary students. Her hope is to combine her academic and artistic forces and become an art therapist. She has been accepted to the University of the Fraser Valley to pursue a degree in Psychology.

Dedicated, responsible, and multidimensional are just a few adjectives that come to mind when I think of Mariya Oskam. Mariyais a grade seven student attending Noel Booth Elementary School and will be moving on to Secondary School in a matter of days. Mariya is the definition of hard work and character. Not only is Mariya a straight A student, but Mariya can be seen volunteering her time and being of service to anyone in need. Mariya is also an excellent athlete and team player. On the basketball court, Mariya does all the little things well that usually go unnoticed by the casual observer.

If she became the next big producer or writer, no one would be surprised.

The way Michael Pratt sees it, “everybody should feel like they belong to something, whether it is a sports team, a community or something else.” “I just feel if somebody as young as I can do something for the community, then maybe it can encourage others to feel the same way.” Pratt, who is entering Grade 10 next year, and his older sister Elizabeth formed Langley Youth for the Fallen, a non-profit organization which is creating a grove of 158 trees at the Derek Doubleday Arboretum. Called a Walk to Remember, the unique memorial honours every fallen Canadian soldier in Afghanistan. He came up with the idea after he saw the memorial at Juno Beach.

Pe Lay Paw always finishes her work in class and takes on additional responsibilities within the classroom.

Sydney keeps very active outside of school with horseback riding, swimming, water polo, violin and her family. A former 4-H Club member, Sydney aspires to becoming a veterinarian. For Sydney, to make the world a better place, we need to find a cure for cancer. So, back in January, she asked her Grade Seven peers if anyone would be willing to form a team for the Langley Relay for Life event. Nine classmates joined her, and collectively they raised over four thousand dollars. Sydney says that being part of “Relay for Life” has helped her to learn how to be empathetic and “to work as a team”. In Sydney’s words, the experience has helped make her “a better person”.
When not at school, Mikayla can be found on top of a horse where she spends hours honing her equestrian skills. She holds a position on both the BCML National and Regional Pony Club Rally teams. Mikayla’s passions extend to the fine arts where she has received recognition for her excellence in theatre and music. She was honoured with the top Acting 11/12 award as well as a number of awards for her work in choir, vocal jazz and musical theatre. Writing has also held an important place in Mikayla’s life and in grade 11 she won 2nd place in the International Festival Writer’s Contest. Mikayla participated in the social justice group’s volunteer aid trip to Belize. While balancing all of her interests, Mikayla maintains a 94% GPA and plans on attending Kwantlen Polytechnic University and then UBC to earn her music degree.

Look out world, Scott is ready to make tracks to an American University where he will study Bio-Medical Engineering paired with a penchant for Psychology and Philosophy. What a dynamic combination! Let’s not stop here… Scott was also our resident politician as he recently returned from a trip to Ottawa sponsored by the Rotary of Langley. Perhaps he left them with some youthful wisdom.

A CELEBRR ATION N OF LAA NGLEY’S OU U TSTAN N DING YOUTH H Sierra Gustafson Betty Gilbert Middle School
Mahroo Shahbaz Douglas Park Community Elementary
Sierra is definitely an asset to BGMS. She is a kind and friendly student who helps out whenever she can. We wish her the best of luck in her future endeavours. She has had such a great year this year with so many great memories, but she would have to say the most memorable was when she won the Concours French speech contest in her class and not only went to the district competition, but then won district and went on to compete in the provincial Concours. Sierra’s future plans are to go to university to study to become either a teacher or a psychologist and she’d also like to do some writing on the side. To make the world a better place, Sierra thinks all people need to do is pay attention to how they treat others, the world around them and recognize that everyone can improve.
Mahroo Shahbaz is an outstanding student and member of the Douglas Park school community. She currently works as a crossing guard before school and she used to monitor a grade 3 class at lunch time. She also takes on extra responsibilities in the classroom. Mahroo’s most memorable school moment was being chosen to receive the class act award for March 2012. Mahroo wants to study Spanish, save the animals and maybe become a writer one day. Mahroo thinks we can make the world a better place to live by using electric cars.
Gabrielle Ricci Brookswood Secondary School
Haley Kloosterhof Langley Times Carrier
Why mess with a good thing? Gabrielle has achieved the top Academic Student in her grade for 4 consecutive years at Brookswood, from grades 8 to 11; she also happens to enjoy the same top standing in grade 12 at the moment with an average of over 95%. Gabrielle has participated in the French Public Speaking competition; the school band; the Peer Mediation team; the drama department’s annual Showcase of student plays, as actor, director, writer, and front-of house helper; soccer player in the Langley community, and part-time employee at the local IHOP. One of Gabrielle’s rewards is an Entrance Scholarship to UBC’s Faculty of Arts in September. In closing, she would like to thank everyone involved for including her in such a great event!
Haley Kloosterhof is going into grade ten at Langley Christian School next year. This past year she participated in various extra-curricular activities. The junior concert and jazz bands went to the Okanagan for a three-day tour at the beginning of May, and that was definitely one of the highlights of my year. Nothing brings a class of fifty-some teenagers together better than being crammed on a bus for an extended period of time. As for my paper route, I could probably do it with my eyes closed, seeing as I’ve had it for almost five years. I’ve gotten to know my community better, and built a lot of character delivering papers in the pouring rain.
Morgan Tayler Coghlan Fundamental Elementary School Morgan Tayler is a truly compassionate student who has risen above academic and social obstacles this year. This shy, quiet girl has an altruistic desire to help others. She is the first to offer a hug, an arm around the shoulder, or assistance when needed. She sees what needs to be done and anticipates ways to help out. Morgan recognizes the good in others and is always willing to be someone’s partner. She works hard. When schoolwork proves difficult, Morgan’s steely determination sets in and she practices and clarifies her way to a better understanding. Her work ethic is impeccable. Tiny in stature, Morgan has an enormous heart and will no doubt continue to model a standard of caring and perseverance throughout her education. Morgan has so many favorite moments at school that she can’t name just one. She is has not solid plans for the future, but has some interest in hairdressing. One thing Morgan feels strongly about is that everyone needs to work together to clean up litter and recycle to make the world a better place.

of the Tiffany Hordyk Langley Christian School
Eunice Punzalan Langley Fundamental Middle/Secondary School
It was no surprise that Tiffany was voted by her classmates to represent them as their Grad Speaker at Langley Christian High School’s graduation ceremony. In spite of grieving the loss of her father Len Hordyk last March, this community builder has been the driving force behind spirit week, spring fling and most other student life events. Her inclusive, bubbly presence in the halls of LCS will be greatly missed. In the Fall Tiffany will be attending TWU for nursing. She has been awarded a Dean’s scholarship from TWU as well as LCS’ Kyle and Emile Memorial Scholarship which is awarded annually to a student who has made a positive contribution to student life, has been involved in a wide variety of extracurricular activities, and has generated a healthy school spirit.
Eunice is a force for positive change in the school community and by extension the greater community. She approaches her position as vice-president of student council with a spirit of service and an unwavering sense of fun which is frankly infectious. It’s just in her character to make others happy and to help others grow. After high school, Eunice plans to go to university. In order to make the world a better place, Eunice says we can do simple things like: volunteering at various events in one’s community, recycling, being kind to random strangers, and smiling more often.
Seraphina Skands R.E. Mountain Secondary School
Timothy Lee Walnut Grove Secondary School
Seraphina Skands was awarded the Most Inspirational Student at our graduation ceremony this year. In addition to maintaining a very high academic standard, Seraphina earned our highest service award for volunteering over 100 hours in every year since grade 8, participating in students’ council, restorative action, and Project Kenya while attending our honours program. Seraphina’s impact on the school was recognized by her peers when they elected her Student Council President in her grade 11 year. She held that position for grade 11 and 12. In everything Seraphina involves herself with, she models integrity, passion, humility, commitment and collaboration. Her leadership in school has been exemplary. She will be attending the University of the Fraser Valley next year.
Timothy applies everything he learns….because in his mind, there is a purpose for every piece of knowledge. Timothy will be continuing his postsecondary education in the Faculty of Science and then on to medicine. He has yet to decide whether or not he will walk through the doors of The University of Toronto or The University of Alberta, both have tried to entice him with scholarship offers. He has a GPA of 98.5%.
Victoria Ross Betty Gilbert Middle School
Maddie Millsip Langley Secondary School
Victoria was nominated because she is a well-rounded leader. She is a hardworking French Immersion student and plays volleyball and basketball on school teams. Outside of school, Victoria is very involved in Girl Guides; she plays baseball, and is also an umpire. She truly is a “Face of the Future”. Some of Victoria’s future plans are to stay in the french immersion all the way through and be bilingual. Also, to go to collage or university or both because she wants to be a dentist and needs the right training to know what to do. To make the world a better place is like no: littering or wasting water. But then there is a different kind of making the world like no name calling, gossiping and the most important of all bullying. All will help the world.
Maddie is a well-rounded student who not only excels academically, but also shines in the areas of Fine Arts and athletics. She has participated in musical theatre, choir, vocal jazz, dance and visual arts. Maddie’s talents extend to athletics where she was an outstanding part of the synchronized figure skating team and both the LSS and Langley United Wrestling teams. She has been recognized as the Junior Athlete of the year and most valuable player for wrestling. Maddie took the bronze medal at the provincials in wrestling this year. Finally, Maddie demonstrates her caring heart through her commitment to the Nicomekl Enhancement Society, YoutHatch Program, student tutoring and the social justice group’s volunteer aid trip to Belize. In addition to Maddie’s athletic, fine arts and social justice accomplishments, she consistently maintains a 97% GPA at Langley Secondary and plans to pursue her Masters in Business Administration at SFU.

Colin is never satisfied until he has done his very best in his academic classes, as reflected in his high academic marks, especially in Math and Science. He is always willing to help others who struggle in these subjects, and he has been a peer tutor. Colin is a writing major at Langley Fine Arts, and he likes to write complex pieces using descriptive language to evoke emotions while stimulating the reader intellectually. His empathy for people who struggle at the margins of society is reflected in his work. He has an irreverent sense of humour, and he is also an accomplished skier. Music is Colin’s primary passion - he plays acoustic and electric guitar and electric bass for his own pleasure and in his church band, and he has played with a variety of rock and jazz groups. Next year he will be in the Vancouver Community College Music program.
William Park Gordon Greenwood Elementary
Rachel Goldbers R.E. Mountain Secondary School
William William’s dream to become a world-famous Olympic short track speed skater started in kindergarten. He started skating in South Korea, when he was about to begin grade three, he immigrated to Canada with his family. Once here he joined a skating club in Langley at Sportsplex and was given a chance to compete at the BC Provincial Short Track Speed Skating Championships and won the BC champion! If I get a chance to compete in the Olympics, which I really want, I might probably go in the 2018 Pyeong Chang Winter Olympics as a Canadian National Team member. I am very thankful for the support people around me are giving me such as my coaches (Eden Green and Julian Green) and of course my parents (Helen and Charles Park). Gordon Greenwood Elementary has helped me with my academics and music so I am ready to make great choices in high school and university. I believe my contribution to the sport of speed skating can make the world a better place to live because this is bringing different countries together.
Rachel has been on the A honour roll in the REMSS Honours program since grade 8, averaging 92% in the second year of International Baccalaureate studies, receiving 99% in higher level Psychology, 96% in Biology and 95% in higher level Chemistry.
