Milner murder home burns Suspicious blaze consumes abandoned house where two people were killed in June MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
The Milner farmhouse where a double murder took place last month has been set ablaze under suspicious circumstances, say Langley RCMP. Around 1:15 a.m. Thursday, Township firefighters were called to the now vacant home located in the 6400 block of Glover Road. Fire crews from both the Township and City brought water to the rural property and tried to douse the flames but the roof had already collapsed and the building was destroyed. Fire investigators were still on scene as of Thursday afternoon. On June 23 at 2:30 a.m., Langley RCMP responded to a 911 call about a domestic dispute at a home in the 6400 block of Glover Road. 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

A 44-year-old Abbotsford man wearing a camouflage hoodie, latex gloves and carrying a semi-automatic handgun and tie straps was arrested in Aldergrove early Tuesday morning. Charles Raymond Charlton has been charged with carrying a concealed weapon, unauthorized possession of a firearm, and possession of a prohibited weapon with ammunition. Langley RCMP received a call at about 6 a.m. that a man with a handgun was in a residence in the 3000 block of 271 Street in Aldergrove. One man was immediately arrested at the scene, as a second man came out of a duplex wearing a camouflage hooded jacket and latex gloves. RCMP say the suspect did not respond to police commands and attempted to re-enter the home, not realizing that the door had locked behind him. He then fled on foot and tried to get into a neighbouring residence. Officers had drawn their guns and were about 30 feet away from the suspect when he reached under his jacket to pull something out. Police demanded that he stop and raise his hands, but he did not. He then pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and threw it about 40 feet away. He was arrested, and a search revealed that a holster was located on his belt, along with tie straps in his pocket. “Our officers showed remarkable restraint and we are fortunate that this incident did not have tragic consequences,” said Supt. Derek Cooke officer in charge of the Langley RCMP. According to the provincial court database, this is Charlton’s first set of criminal charges. His next court appearance is scheduled for July 18 in Surrey provincial court.

Boaters, returning from pub, rescued two swimmers who were in danger of being swept down swollen river MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
A group of Langley friends out for a boat ride are being hailed as heroes for saving two women from drowning in the swollen Fraser River on Tuesday evening (July 10). The women, who are both in their 20s, decided to go for a swim near the Port Haney Wharf in Maple Ridge, which has been closed to the public for weeks because of high and dangerous river levels. Emergency services got a call to rescue the women around 9:20 p.m., after they drifted almost 30 feet from the bank, while clinging to a log. “We were on our way back from dinner at the Gillnetter Pub when we saw a lot of emergency vehicles at the shore,” said Langley resident Dominique Elstak, 24, who was in the boat with five of her friends. Her boyfriend Kirk Miller owns the boat and was driving that evening. “I said to Kirk we should go closer and take a look at what was going on. That’s when we saw the two girls in the water holding onto a long log,” said Elstak. Miller quickly turned the boat towards the women and the group of friends sprung into action, throwing the two life jackets and putting the ladder down on the back of the boat to bring them in. “We got them in the boat and wrapped them up in towels and gave them our sweaters,” said Elstak. Miller brought the women to emergency responders who were waiting onshore at the wharf. “They were cold but seemed to be OK,” said Elstak. The Langley couple regularly go boating on the Fraser with friends and have been careful with the high waters. The current was so strong a week ago, their motor struggled to keep up and they turned back to shore. Before the Langley boating group arrived on Tuesday night, a Ridge Meadows RCMP officer jumped into the river to try to rescue the women but had to swim back out as the current started pulling him downstream.. Maple Ridge fire chief Dane Spence said firefighters were getting ready to rescue the pair, when a boat arrived to help. The boat left before emergency service crews could find out his identity.

Dominique Elstak and her boyfriend Kirk Miller were among a group on Miller’s boat who rescued two women from the Fraser River last week. “This unknown boater is truly a hero in this incident,” said Sgt. Dale Somerville. “According to our police officers, the women were in serious danger and could have easily drowned if not for the actions of this citizen. We would like to find out who he is and thank him for his quick thinking.” Elsak said she had read on the Maple Ridge News website that they were looking to thank her boyfriend. “I think that’s pretty cool,” she said. Miller was at work on Thursday morning but was intending to get in touch with Ridge Meadows RCMP that day. “It really is lucky the girls found a log to hold onto until we got there because if not, they would have been swept down the river,” said Elsak. Police aren’t saying whether the women were under the influence of drugs or alcohol. — with files from Maple Ridge News

John Horace Oughton, the sexual predator who terrorized a number of girls and women, including two 11-year-olds from Langley, during the 1980s has been moved from B.C. to the Bowden Institution in Alberta. Oughton, who is now 62, conducted a series of horrendous sexual assaults between 1977 and 1985. He was dubbed ‘the paper bag rapist’ for his habit of placing a bag over the heads of his victims as he assaulted them. He sometimes wore the disguise himself. The Langley incident occurred when he lured the two girls into tall grass near the George Preston Recreation Centre, on 208 Street and 42 Avenue.
prison psychiatric assessment that found he was a high risk to re-offend if he was granted parole. The surprise admission was contained in Oughton’s letter to the National Parole Board the day before he was scheduled to appear for a Sept. 20, 2011 parole review. In the letter, Oughton announced he was withdrawing from the hearing, claiming it was on the advice of his lawyer. The psychologist who carried out an assessment rated Oughton’s risk to reoffend “generally, violently and sexually” as high. BC Corrections does not disclose the reasons for prison transfers, but the father of one of the girls said the family has been assured that an explanation for the move will be made soon.
School district hires two assistant superintendents MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Aldergrove Community Secondary School is shopping for a new principal, now that Gord Stewart has taken a job as assistant superintendent at the Langley School District. The announcement came Monday. Stewart will be joined by Claire Guy, who was also hired as assistant superintendent. Both will work with new superintendent Suzanne Hoffman. The positions were filled following a search and interview process undertaken to replace the role vacated by Hoffman, with her recent appointment as superintendent and to incorporate senior staff restructuring at the district level. Guy enters her role with 26 years of experience as an educator and administra-

In 1987, Oughton was found guilty of 14 sex attacks, including rapes, that occurred all over the Lower Mainland. The offences for which he was convicted occurred over a period of 10 years, and while awaiting trial, he admitted to committing between 140 and 150 sexual assaults. Sentenced to an indeterminate sentence and declared a dangerous offender, Oughton has the right to apply for parole every two years. His last hearing was in 2011. Even though Oughton has now left the Fraser Valley prison where he has been incarcerated for a quarter of a century, the family of one of the Langley girls vows to attend his next parole hearing. At last year’s hearing, Oughton agreed with a

tor, most recently in the role of director of instruction where she has served for the past year. At this time, the director of instruction position vacated by Guy will not be filled. District staff will work throughout the fall to create a plan that explores district needs, support and infrastructure, said Hoffman. Stewart enters his role with 23 years of experience as an educator and administrator in Langley, most recently, principal of ACSS for the past five years. A search to select his replacement is now under way. “I’m very pleased to welcome Claire Guy and Gord Stewart into their new roles. Their diversity of experiences, background and perspectives will be valuable assets to the board and district as we continue to move forward with improving learning for Langley students,” said Hoffman.

An increase in the population brings development stress, and that triggers a deepening desire for people to connect with nature, Stuart Bucholtz told Township council on July 9. That opportunity may very well have been lost had Glen Valley residents not got wind of the sale of 21 acres of forest on 84 Avenue between 252 and 254 Streets. When they made the discovery, they applied a great deal of pressure on council which voted in camera to withdraw three lots from a bidding process. The Township is proceeding with the sale of 25 acres located closer to 260 Street. There were no signs posted on the property to advise neighbours of the Township’s intent. The municipality said that it sent letters to 20 real estate companies, but according to residents, not all of them received the information. Word got out after one resident read about the pending sale in the Township Pages in the local papers. “We were not invited for input,� Bucholtz said. After Mayor Jack Froese announced that the sale of the 21 acres had been withdrawn,

For Sale sign advertises land on 84 Avenue between 257A Street and 264 Street. Bucholtz thanked council and pledged support for efforts to raise $2 million which the Township had anticipated the sale would generate. That money was to be put towards the purchase of Aldergrove Elementary School and the construction of a community centre, ice rink and pool. However, Bucholtz stressed, residents are determined to see the 21 acres designated a park. “We will be happy to help fundraise for the community centre after this is achieved,� he
said. Dr. Albert Anderson, whose family runs Aldor Acres in the 24900 block of 84 Avenue, thanked council for saving the forest which locals refer to as McLellan Park. “Common sense ruled, once you people came down and saw there is a world outside of this building,� Anderson said. Councillor Kim Richter took up this thread when she proposed a motion that before Township-owned lands are put on the market, council members and senior staff tour the properties. “As part of what has come out of McLellan Park, council really does have to have a more handson role in land disposition,� she said. She proposed another motion for a land disposition policy that would ensure maximum public notification of properties put up for sale, and maximum financial return. Council would have the final say on all sale prices. “The public has identified an area of concern and the Township should respond to it,� Richter said. The majority of council appeared reluctant to support the proposals, but was willing to discuss it at a council priorities meeting.

Vancouver Zoo welcomes two female Siberian tigers One-year-old siblings are on Red List of Threatened Species The Greater Vancouver Zoo has added two endangered tigers to its list of exotic animals. One-year-old sisters Hana and Hani are the newest additions to its cat family, coming from a zoo in South Korea. Hana and Hani are Siberian tigers. The sisters were born on May 22, 2011 and now weigh approximately 180 lbs and 130 lbs respectively. Typically, tigers are solitary animals unless they are family or mating. “Our hope for the sisters is that they can become part of the Species Survival Plan Program, which works to co-operatively manage specific, and typically threatened or endangered, species population,” said zoo manager Jody Henderson. “We are all very excited with their arrival as this is the Greater Vancouver Zoo’s first animal exchange between our sister zoo, Seoul Grand Park Zoo in South

The Greater Vancouver Zoo in Aldergrove is now home to a pair of one-year-old female Siberian tigers. The cats, which are listed as endangered, came to the Lower Mainland zoo from South Korea.
Korea, a partnership that we formed in November 2010.” Siberian tigers are listed as “endangered” according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Originally there were nine tiger subspecies and now there are six, which all are categorized as “endangered.”
The tiger range has been declining by over 50 per cent over the last three generations and the tiger population also suggests a decline by at least 50 per cent over a similar period, said Henderson. There used to be hundreds of thousands of the different species of tigers, where as now
there are probably 3,000 to 5,000 in the world. In some areas of the world, the population decline is not reversible, she said. Tigers are at the top of the food chain but unfortunately are hunted for trophies. Different body parts of the tigers are used in traditional Chinese medicines.

Police shut down road
NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
Fraser Highway was re-opened after police descended on the centre of Aldergrove on Friday following a report that several people were seen with weapons. The road was closed from 264 Street and 268 Street for approximately two and a half hours,. Const. Craig Van Herk, who speaks for Langley RCMP, said
that at about 10:20 a.m. on Friday Langley RCMP officers responded to a report “involving multiple people and firearms� in the 26700 block of the Fraser Highway. Fraser Highway was closed as a precautionary measure to ensure public safety, Van Herk said. The Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team (ERT) was dispatched to the scene using their Tactical Armored Vehicle (TAV). The TAV, which is an army
tank, had been in Langley only the day before at Langley RCMP’s Junior Cadet Camp. Police were unable to located anyone with firearms, he added. He said that investigators stayed in the area “just to make sure.� Van Herk said on Monday that police had no new information to indicate if there was a real threat of people with weapons or whether the information was false.
No more birds on a wire in Fort NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
Somebody at Township council’s July 9 meeting murmured something about the overhead wires in Fort Langley being part of the village’s heritage. But whether or not they have historic value, the wires are coming down, at least along a 540 metre stretch of Glover Road and one block of Mavis Street. Council authorized staff to distribute a petition to the affected property owners, and proceed with the necessary bylaws, including one that spells out who will pay for the work. The proposal to bury the wires and remove the poles was made by the Fort Langley Business

Another win for non-smokers
MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Pamela and Gord Weitzel are breathing a smoke-free sigh of relief after a long, stressful battle against a chainsmoking neighbour. The Langley couple are claiming victory against second hand smoke wafting into their home for the past three years. The Weitzels dropped their BC Human Rights complaint against their chain-smoking neighbour after he agreed to install an expensive exhaust fan in his suite and now their strata complex has voted for a “no smoking allowed” bylaw last month. “Non-smokers rights count in this millen-
nium,” said Gord. He is ecstatic that he and his wife can stay in their ground level condo. Also, his chain-smoking neighbour passed away in April. He was only 68, said Weitzel. Gord and Pam both suffer from health disorders and when they moved into Willow Park Estates, outfitted the doorways with ramps and expensive grab bars. They like their condo’s nearness to Willowbrook Mall and didn’t want to move. They provided their strata with doctors’ notes indicating that the smoking was impacting their breathing. The strata council said at the time it didn’t have the power to do anything.
The Weitzels decided to file a complaint with the BC Human Rights Tribunal in fall 2010. The Tribunal accepted the complaint and served the strata notice. It was only a couple of months ago that the Tribunal awarded a Langley couple $8,000 in compensation for having to live with second-hand smoke at their 53 Avenue condo complex. The tribunal ruled that the strata pay the couple for “injury to their dignity and self respect” and for costs for an air
conditioner and naturopathic treatments after having smoke waft into their condo from smokers living below them. Melanie and Matthew McDaniel had filed a complaint to their strata about cigarette smoke coming into their unit from smoker’s below. Melanie said she is severely allergic and was six months pregnant at the time. She pointed out she had more rights at work than in her own home. It does seem the tables are turning on smokers’ rights. There are fewer
and fewer places smokers can light up. Also a recent study released said fewer and fewer teens are taking up the cancerous habit. This year, Metro Vancouver Parks banned smoking in all 33 of its regional parks and greenways, including Derby Reach and Brae Island in Langley. B.C. bans smoking in all indoor public spaces, near any doorways or windows and at bus stops. In Vancouver, there is no smoking on restaurant patios as well.

Paying for response
Very little restraint
L
angley City’s resolution to the Union of B.C. Municipalities about the costs of first response is a welcome start to a long-overdue discussion. The City seeks the support of other municipalities, in asking the provincial government to pay more towards the cost of sending firefighters out to medical emergencies. This has become the main duty of firefighters in most cities across B.C., with calls to actual fires or other emergencies such as hazardous spills far fewer in number. The reason the province has a role to play is that the work firefighters are doing is actually that of a paramedic, albeit with less specialized training. The province has been able to save money on the ambulance service by having firefighters respond first. In addition, firefighters are governed by different work rules, so four firefighters are routinely dispatched to a call where no more than two ambulance attendants would respond. This is a colossal waste of resources and is extremely costly to taxpayers. The City is suggesting that the province contribute to the costs of fire departments in jurisdictions where firefighters are first responders. This is one possibility, but another is that the province establish more ambulance stations and hire more paramedics. A good look at all work rules surrounding paramedics would also be helpful, as often they are tied up at hospitals waiting for emergency staff to admit a patient they have transported there. The point the City is making, and it’s one that most taxpayers would endorse, is that property taxes are being used to pay for health services. Health is a provincial responsibility and, as such, should be paid for by provincial governments. Cities are hard-pressed for money already. They have a limited ability to levy taxes, and property taxes are already high enough. Fire departments, such as Langley Township’s, which have added fulltime fire halls, require significant amounts of property tax to fund. If more ambulance stations were built, which would be the ideal situation, some full-time fire halls could be shifted to paid on call — a system that is used in three of the seven Township fire halls today. No matter what happens, the whole issue of who pays for first response needs a much closer look. It’s good the discussion is underway.

f bringing a new measure of reality to city spending is an objective of the mayor and members of council, the civic payroll should be under increased scrutiny in the next budget. In 2011, the City of Abbotsford spent $45.8 million on employee wages and salaries. That’s up $3.5 million from 2010. Unionized city staff received a three per cent increase, which is not unreasonable, but still generous considering the challenged economy and provincial government public service contracts that commonly saw settlements of two, one or even zero per cent. However, the bigger question is in the rest of the payroll figures. Thirty-one city employees — all earning more than $75,000 annually, and some far more – saw their income increase by more than 10 per cent in 2011, costing taxpayers an additional $462,000. Ten of those people saw increases in excess of 15 per cent. Some of those hikes were due to promotion, and others may have been affected by holiday buy-outs. There may be other factors involved, but nevertheless, the public optics aren’t good. Two years ago, the city engaged a consultant to conduct a compensation review for civic employees, comparing this city’s salary levels against other communities. The comparison game is rarely kind to taxpayers, who it seems must shell out more and more so public servants can keep pace with counterparts elsewhere – who are doing the same, in a never-ending escalation. It is incumbent upon Abbotsford’s civic leaders to set their own agenda, driven by fiscal restraint. Many taxpayers will look at significant increases in individual civic employee incomes, and a $3.5-million jump in overall payroll costs in one year, and have trouble believing council has a firm grip on the spending tap. —Abbotsford News (Black Press) The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Firefighters can’t replace paramedics Editor: I’m concerned with the fact that any municipality in B.C. would want to increase their firefighter first response capabilities within their boundaries in an urban setting. This is not being financially responsible to the community. In reality, the municipalities should be rallying to get more paramedics in ambulances on the street. A large study was recently completed on firefighter response to medical calls in Ontario. It showed that the firefighter first responders were really only needed on two to three per cent of the calls. The Ontario study results are similar to the findings of a Berringer study (www.cjem-online.ca/v1/n2/p93) completed in
Vancouver in 1999, if you exclude putting an oxygen mask on someone. Let’s face it. Firefighters are not paramedics. They are first responders with a targeted first aid course that’s only 42 hours long, and have a very limited skill set (www.jibc. ca/node/27042). Primary care paramedics within the ambulance service have a minimum of 1,900 hours of training and can request Advance Life Support paramedics, Critical Care paramedics and Flight paramedics to assist them. This basically brings the emergency room to your home. Mayor Peter Fassbender is quoted in The Times (July 12) as saying, “the fact is that this
intermediate patient care can greatly enhance patient outcomes and significantly reduce . . . costs to the overall health care system.” With no disrespect to firefighters, it’s the treatment and transport to the appropriate hospital by paramedics that affects patient outcome. Firefighters have unfortunately become pawns in the first responder game between the B.C government and the municipalities. We all should be paying taxes only once for a service, not twice. A.W. Harrie, Burnaby
Angels at work in the hospital system Editor: Have you ever seen an angel in the sky? Neither have I. However, I’ve discovered the reason why.They are all down here on Earth, disguised as our health care personnel.They include doctors, technicians, nurses, nurses’ aides, emergency workers and support staff. I recently had my eyes opened when I suffered an illness that required emergency care and neuroscience tests. Fortunately, I was well enough to walk about the 6th Floor North Tower Division in Royal Columbian Hospital, and see firsthand the day to day operation. The facility is cramped. Every square foot of space is utilized, including the hallways where inventory and patients are located. Elderly patients are lying on beds with portable curtains surrounding them for limited privacy. I
viewed a very distraught lady holding her husband’s hand. What in the world has become of our health care system? How in the heck can we expect any efficiency under these conditions? The administrators have assembled a great team of angels who work under very stressful conditions taking care of very sick patients. The best way to describe the facility is that “it’s a beehive of activity in all areas.” Perhaps MLAs should go undercover as individuals (no committee), and view what has been ignored as a priority for some time by our government. Don’t blame the lack of funds or the high salaries paid to these professionals who spend years preparing themselves to look after our health needs.
I’m sure the ‘calling’ they received certainly did not envision the stress of such cramped space nor the increase of elderly patients, and it will get worse. If you are not a believer in early angels, ask any former patient or better yet, wait until you get sick. After your experience in our health care system, perhaps you too will be inclined to write a similar letter. I am a 76-year-old and am very blessed to have had such great care by so many dedicated individuals. I’m making a donation to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, and I urge others to do likewise to the hospital of your choice. Frank Celko, Langley
The entire City needs to be pedestrian-friendly Editor: After reading the article about the redesign of McBurney Lane in The Times (July 12), I felt compelled to write. It is very unclear as to what the end result will be, or what the cost is. I am not in support of a redesign at this time for a number of reasons. One issue is that it is an unpleasant area for many people anyway, due to the courtyard being full of smokers. This is not a welcoming environment and putting in a walkway will make no difference. Secondly, I believe that enough money has been spent on a beautiful park just across the street, which is easily accessible with a side-
walk and pedestrian crossing. We should be encouraged to use this park and take advantage of what it was intended for. Douglas Crescent already has issues with finding parking during busy times of the day and weekends. Losing parking is not productive. I appreciate council members who support Timms Community Centre and wish to make it “greener.” What a great way of spending our tax dollars. Mayor Peter Fassbender wants to “build a pedestrian-friendly community.” I believe this includes not just the downtown core, which is very pedestrian-friendly, but
going to the city limits, to encourage people to walk or ride into the downtown core. As a pedestrian who uses the streets daily to walk my dog 12 months out of the year, I have been in many unsafe situations with motor vehicles. Council should look at slowing traffic down on the streets, past schools, parks and very poorly-marked crosswalks. A very good example is 200 Street and 53 Avenue, where a terrible accident occurred recently. The City must include all of us in its planning. R. Brown, Langley
Cuts to HandyDart are bound to continue Editor: Last week, TransLink announced that it would not scrap the Taxi Saver program. This program allows disabled people and seniors to purchase scrips that give half-price taxi fares. Sadly, TransLink backing down is a hollow victory. Over 30 years ago, the disabled and senior community fought for accessible public transportation. HandyDart was born of that struggle. Now after three decades TransLink has unveiled The
proposals to erode HandyDart service in the next three years. It is small consolation to those who need door to door service that Taxi Savers will be continued. The provincial government has no issue in providing funds for executive raises, mega-projects and retractable roofs. Meanwhile TransLink is forced to convince homebound people that they must sacrifice to help create “efficiencies.”
At some point, we all reach out for help. Public transportation for those unable to take conventional transit gives people quality of life and health. Disabled people and seniors deserve proper funding and should not have to be coerced into cuts to an already overwhelmed HandyDart service. Mark Beeching, Langley
Dying is no business of judges Editor: The recent B.C. Supreme Court decision around doctor-assisted suicide highlights the danger of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the hands of activist judges. I define an activist judiciary as those with a solution in search of a problem, empowered by the Charter. However, the real problem is with one suffering citizen hiring one lawyer, arguing one case before one judge — and the results of this affecting some 34 million souls. In my mind, this is the fatal flaw in the Charter. This is not a representative process affirming absolutes, but is entirely about relativism. For those of us content to put everything we have into living each day we have, these plaintiffs are frankly self-indulgent. I had an aunt who after falling broke a hip. When hospitalized, she was found to be full of cancer. She refused surgery and treatment knowing it was her time to go. She asked to be made comfortable and stopped eating. Even though I am not sure if death is dignified, I can assure you my aunt died when and how she wanted. That was her choice. She did this quietly and on her own, not dragging an overt failing justice system into it. How and when I die is between me and my family. If I am a person of faith, then it is between me and my Maker. It’s not the business of some mortal who merely is appointed to the bench for only 20 to 30 years of man’s history, believing they must make new law. And I don’t need nor want all the baggage of society to be dragged along at the end. Just like I don’t want that either as I endeavour to live. Steve Brown, Langley

Congestion claims contested JEFF NAGEL Black Press
Metro Vancouver is Canada’s most congested urban area and second only to Los Angeles in North America, according to a report. The rankings by GPS maker TomTom — based on data gleaned from the traffic movements of its subscribers — found Vancouver area drivers take on average 30 per cent longer to make a trip at congested times than when roads and highways are free flowing. Los Angeles was worst among North American cities — with a 33 per cent delay — while Miami, Seattle, Tampa and San Francisco ranked third through sixth at around 25 per cent. Toronto was ninth at 22 per cent. For Vancouver, TomTom estimated congestion translates into a 34-minute delay for each hour driven in peak periods, adding up to 83 hours over the course of a year for motorists with a 30-minute daily commute.
But TransLink spokesman Drew Snider said the findings are deceptive. Metro Vancouver has fewer highways and therefore lower overall traffic speeds than Los Angeles, he said. That means a 10 kilometre per hour reduction in the speed of moving traffic is a bigger proportional delay here compared to U.S. cities with more freeways, giving Vancouver a worse ranking. “We made the choice not to punch freeways through the centre of Vancouver and that’s made the region more livable,” Snider said. He said TransLink is working to expand transit — as well as cycling and pedestrian infrastructure — to offer alternatives to car use in more of the region. SFU City Program director Gordon Price said the rankings more accurately reflect the plight of drivers in areas where cars dominate, but not where transit is frequent and more viable. “Car congestion is not a measure of mobility,” he said.“So long
as you have choices, you don’t have to be hung out in traffic.” Price said the region will soon see what a huge increase in highway capacity achieves when the new Port Mann Bridge, expanded Highway 1 and South Fraser Perimeter Road all open. Highway congestion should be cut, at least initially, he said, although he forecasts it will spur more car use and new construction geared for drivers rather than transit, potentially undermining efforts to expand transit South of the Fraser. He also predicts the tolls on the Port Mann will increase congestion on arteries within Surrey as some drivers seek to avoid paying and more South of Fraser drivers try to stay on their side of the river. Price said the City of Vancouver’s decision to shun freeways has paid off because large numbers of car trips have shifted to transit, walking or cycling. “We’re down to 1965 levels of traffic coming in and out of downtown Vancouver.”

DNA lifted off the carcasses of cats killed in Maple Ridge and Langley will not be sent to a lab for processing. The B.C. SPCA has learned processing the genetic information will be costly. Although the SPCA believes coyotes were mostly responsible for the spate of cat killings, it hoped DNA analysis would solve the mys-
tery once in for all. But after learning that processing would break their already stretched budget, Marcie Moriarty, general manager of cruelty investigations for the B.C. SPCA, said it decided not to go ahead with it. “We felt it would not be reasonable to incur those costs simply to determine which species was involved,” she said. In June, the SPCA announced necropsies
done on mutilated cats found in Maple Ridge and Langley revealed almost all were killed by another animal, quelling fears that a disturbed human was behind the grisly deaths. Dr. Melinda Merck, a veterinary forensic expert, examined the remains of 30 animals — 20 cats, eight crows, one rabbit, one dog — found since May and determined all were attacked by a predator. Merck believed coyotes were most likely

responsible for the deaths and encouraged pet owners to keep cats and small dogs inside. The SPCA, however, has yet to determine who placed cat parts in strange places. In Maple Ridge, a cat’s head was left outside a school, another was placed on a porch and in a plastic bag. A tail was also found under a missing cat poster, while another was tacked to a fence. The SPCA believes the animals were moved post-mortem and is working with the RCMP to find suspects. The SPCA has not received any calls about new mutilations in either Maple Ridge or Langley. “We haven’t heard of any new cases. Maybe people aren’t reporting it but it’s been very quiet,” said general manager Lorie Chortyk. There are numerous new missing cat posters in Brookswood since the cluster of cat killings, so it appears the deaths aren’t being reported. Coyotes remain active. — with files from Monique Tamminga

LANGLEY’S MONTHLY YOUNG-AT-HEART SECTION — JULY 2012 —
An active body produces an active mind timing them and convincing them they could always do better.” I have always believed that physical education and drama fit well together, one challenging your body and the other your mind, both keeping things moving, flowing.”
Jim McGregor
The word
Tomboy doesn’t come up in the interview but you only have to look at the red hair, freckles and mischievous smile to know that Eleanor Halcrow has been competing with the boys for most of her youthful 65 years.
At 24 years old she quit her job and flew to Australia which resulted in an impromptu world tour. Over the years she became an avid ultralight pilot and kayaker, two skills which she has employed in her teaching.
In her most recent competition at the Pacific Invitational Masters Championship track meet at McLeod Athletic Park, Eleanor set a B.C. and Canadian record in race walking for women in the 65-69 Masters category completing the 3000M race in 18:47. She has previously competed in Senior’s games in Richmond and Abbotsford but this was her first Masters. “I was amazed at my result,” says Eleanor. “The race was made up of all age categories and I think being on the track with younger athletes, including males as young as 19, inspired me to go just a little harder. I knew I had a good time when I crossed the finish line but when they gave me my results, I had beaten my personal best by a full two minutes.” Ellie, as she known to her friends, had only been training seriously since May for the June 16th event. “I always race walk when I’m out my dogs as well. A neck injury forced me to scale back my running but the loose, fluid motion of race walking has no jarring movements. The event works a completely different part of your body, your hamstrings and posterior muscles and tendons take all the strain.” Ellie doesn’t believe age or retirement should slow you down. “A fit body keeps a fit mind. If we always try to do a little better each day, if we set goals and give ourselves a reason to push our limits, there is that great feeling of, I did it!” Ellie was born in Penticton and raised throughout the Fraser Valley and obtained a teaching degree at 21 with her first posting at Clearbrook Junior High School. Specializing in P.E. and Drama throughout her career she was always pushing her students,
“I was successful in developing physical education programs for Special Ed. Students. When I was in high school I was the girl with the shorts under her skirt and the running shoes always at hand. I used to watch the girls who shied away from PE because of self esteem issues so when I became a teacher I made it my goal to get everyone involved, get them excited. I loved working with the Special Ed. kids.” “We would go on field trips to kayak on Haida Gwaii or I would get them up in the ultralight. When people have been looking down on you all your life, it’s nice to get up above and look down on things for change.” Ellie has been retired for ten years and she and her husband and their two Irish setters, Ayden and Kyra live on a quiet acreage in South Langley. “This is a beautiful place and it would be easy to sit and relax and read or write here,” smiles Ellie, “but I find it hard to sit in one place too long. In Girl Guides I had to knit a patch to get a badge, it took me forever and I haven’t knit since.” “I think as we age, no matter what our aches and pains are, we can always do better if we work at it, each day a bit better than the day before. Sometimes we reach a plateau and there are days we are not quite up to it but then a better day comes along and we can do better again. The endorphins we produce with exercise help us feel good and keep us happy and alert. I get my energy by surrounding myself with a positive atmosphere.”

Secret to getting the highest GIC rates “Frankly I don’t know why anyone would purchase a GIC directly from a bank branch”, says David Booth the Branch Manager of DWM Securities Inc’s downtown Langley branch. David says that “typically through our network of over 50 institutions across Canada that we are agents for, we are able to obtain rates that are .50% to 1% higher than the banks. For example, today as we talk, the highest posted 1 year GIC rate from the big 5 banks is 1.3%, with the lowest being .65%. Our rate today on the same 1 year GIC is 2.05%. One way to look at this is that we are offering an increase in the rate of 57% over the best posted 1 year rate from these big 5 banks or 215% increase over the worse rate.”
So why do so many people go to the banks to purchase GICs? David says “people believe the banks are safe and are treating them fairly. However, I Ànd we typically get the best rates from the Credit Unions and Trust companies. As well my clients like to know that at the next maturity we can shop around again for the best rate”
“people believe the banks are safe and are treating them fairly…”
David’s advice to anyone wanting a GIC or that has a GIC renewing, is to call an investment advisor who has access to the best rates from institutions across Canada. The service should be free as the institutions pay the advisor a commission for placing the money with them. Also don’t be afraid to negotiate a higher rate with your bank or financial institution, and ensure invested GICs don’t just roll over at the low posted rate.
— The Langley Times Monthly Young-At-Heart Section | July 2012 —
Active body, active mind… Eleanor believes that with an active body comes and active mind. She is a member of two local writing groups and has written children’s stories and articles for magazines covering categories of fiction, fitness and hunting. “I find inspiration everywhere. A children’s story about flying through the clouds comes from a quiet ultra light flight — another story came to me in a kayak off Semiahmoo Bay when I had an almost spiritual experience when a whale surfaced beside and we spent some peaceful time together. I wouldn’t trade these experiences with anything.”
“For me, my fitness is a form of nostalgia. Sort of like an antique car. The body may not have the lines of a new one, but it attracts love and attention. It’s a beauty with lots of history and it’s running, just fine.”
“For me, my fitness is a form of nostalgia. Sort of like an antique car. The body may not have the lines of a new one, but it attracts love and attention. It’s a beauty with lots of history and it’s running, just fine.” About 4000 other seniors will be tak-
ing Eleanor’s advice and participating in the 2012 BC Seniors Games from August 21st to 25th in Burnaby. The purpose of the Games is “to promote an active healthy lifestyle for all BC 55 plus residents.” The Fraser Valley Zone always has a large contingent at the games and Langley City and Township will be hosting them here in 2014. Playdowns and qualifying have been carried out through May and June include activities such as badminton, bridge, cribbage, whist, bowling, golf, horseshoes, lawn bowling, snooker, soccer, table tennis and many other events including Track and field and one act plays.
The BC Seniors Games remain a totally volunteer event after 25 years and have grown each year from the 600 participants at the first event in Vernon in 1988. For more information on the Seniors Games, or to volunteer, check the website — www.bcseniorsgames.org

Take a Bowen Island Daytrip
By Martha Perkins
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing what a 20-minute ferry ride can do. In the time it takes the ferry to leave Horseshoe Bay, which itself is only 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver) and sail across the Howe Sound to Bowen Island, you feel as if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been taken back in time. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an old-fashioned charm to this island, once known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the happy isle.â&#x20AC;?
Yes! Please send me a FREE COLOUR R BROCHURE about Premier Care Walk-In Baths.

In its heyday, before the Lions Gate Bridge opened up the north shore to travellers, steamships brought passengers by the thousands to Bowenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beaches. Companies and unions would treat workers to a carefree picnic on its shores or, if you were lucky, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d stay in the resort or one of the dozens of tourists cabins that dotted the island. Then came automobiles, a war, and the hippies. Artists, retirees, university professors and commuters with young families settled in next, revelling in the small-town atmosphere while appreciating such close proximity to Vancouver.

If you plan to visit frequently, get the BC Ferries experience card (minimum purchase $95) for discounted fares. (BCFerries.com) USSC Marina: One of the most beautiful marinas along the coast, its state-of-the-art floating clubhouse, chandlery filled with nautically inspired gifts and clothing, and rental cabins around the garden make it a popular destination for Vancouver sailors and those who wander its docks dream of sailing one day. (USSC.ca) Snug Café: In a small cabin just steps from the ferry you can have the best breakfast in the Lower Mainland. Eggs snuggled in Snugwich or served with royale flair with cream and smoked salmon never tasted so good. Owners Piers and Joan Hayes are very much a part of the café’s endearing charm, making both long-time residents and visitors feel at home. There’s now Friday night jazz with some of the island’s professional musicians.

The
World
at her doorstep
Langley woman competing for title of Miss World Tara Teng is preparing to take on the World. Crowned Miss World Canada 2012 last spring, the Langley woman left on Saturday for Ordos, China to participate the 62nd Miss World competition. Teng will be in China from July 18 to Aug. 18 competing for the global title to further her message of ending modern day slavery and attempting to bring the crown to Canada for the first time in history. The Miss World Pageant’s mandate is “Beauty with a purpose.” The pageant stresses the equal importance of inner and outer beauty. “I am honoured to represent Canada on the global stage at Miss World and truly hope my success is marked by my stand for the value and freedom of every human life,” said Teng, who expressed her gratitude to friends, family, leaders and others who have encouraged and supported her. “Her determination and passion to continue making positive changes in the lives of people worldwide is
inspiring, said Miss World Canada chairman, Ike Lalji. Lalji says that this is the first time in the history of the pageant that such a monumental contribution has been made by a titleholder. “We stand behind her and know that she is a great representative, not only for Canada but for the world,” Lalji said. The Miss World Pageant is the oldest, and most watched pageant on the planet, with more than two billion viewers. Miss World has changed the lives of many children by raising over $500 million dollars globally. If you would like to support Teng in her effort, please visit www.facebook. com/MissWorldCanada, like the page and share. The likes on this page count towards Teng’s score and you can also follow her progress. “I am proud to represent my beautiful country of Canada to the world, either way — it’s time to make history,” said Teng.
Langley’sTaraTeng was scheduled to fly to China on Saturday to represent Canada at the Miss World competition in Ordos.
Becoming a voice for others Langley’s Hannah Seaman captured the Miss BC 2012 title this past Canada Day long weekend when she was crowned at the annual charity event, which takes place every summer at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley. With 46 contestants, the weekend raised more than $37,000 for the Cops for Cancer organization. Seaman, who has stuttered since she was in Grade 3, says in her online bio at www.missbc.ca, that her speech difficulties have played an important role in her life. “I’ve realized that it’s my speech that makes me who I am. If this had never happened, I would not be here today,” she said. With her title, Seaman wants to be “a voice for anyone who has ever felt unworthy because of a disability.” Each contestant received professional training in areas such as modelling, stage presence, manners and etiquette, self-esteem, interview skills, public speaking,
self-defence and assertiveness. This year, the pageant celebrated its 10th anniversary, bringing back previous titleholders to share their stories since receiving their crowns. A shortened version of the finale will be broadcast on Shaw TV this fall. Other winners of the evening included: • Miss BC – Hannah Seaman • Mrs. BC – Ami Muranetz • Miss Teen BC – Charmaine Laride • Miss Charity BC – Desiree Tremblay • Mrs. Lower Mainland – Danielle Bermel • Miss Lower Mainland – Casar Jacobson • Miss Greater Vancouver – Ada Gu • Miss Fraser Valley – Desiree Tremblay • Miss Vancouver Island – Kendall Andjelkovic • Miss BC Interior – Sandeep Bengag • People’s Choice Award – Stephani Monkman • Miss Congeniality – Charmaine Laride
Langley’s Hannah Seaman was named Miss BC 2012 at a pageant held over the Canada Day long weekend in Fort Langley.

Local artists take top spots in national competition Deborah Strong and Alison Philpott honoured for their skill with a coloured pencil A pair of Langley artists have taken the top two spots in a Cross-Canada contest. Deborah Strong and Alison Philpott won first and second place, respectively, in the Coloured Pencil Society of Canada’s first national exhibition. Strong’s piece of a bird perched on a lichencovered branch is titled Solitary Stellar’s Jay, while Philpott entered Pebbles 1, a detailed close-up of a collection of smooth stones. “I was delighted simply to have two of my drawings selected for the exhibition, but to have one of them take First Prize is amazing,” said Strong, who owns Cat & Mouse Designs, and is a founding member of the annual Langley Artists Studio Tour, which is coming up in September. Philpott is a studio tour participant and a current member of the Fort Langley Artists Group. “It was very unexpected and really exciting to be placed second in this exhibit,” she said. “I always have one or two drawings on the go, and my favourite subject is pebbles. So to be acknowledged this way, for something I love to do, is a real honour.” Visit colouredpencilcanada.ca for more.

JULY 22 Fort Langley in the Fraser Valley, long known as the road cycling mecca of British Columbia is now the location for what will become one of Canada’s premier road cycling events. On July 22, the inaugural 2012 Prospera Valley GranFondo will take riders on an epic 160 kilometer ride featuring quiet country roadways, scenic farmland, historic river valleys and a challenging
mountain summit. Those wanting to experience the trafÄc controlled and supported route, but who would prefer a more novice challenge can register for the shorter 80 kilometre MedioFondo. The routes have been chosen speciÄcally to provide participants with a traditional “gran fondo” experience. GranFondos are a European cycling tradition that brings together thousands
of cyclists in a fully supported, timed event that covers a wide variety of challenging terrain, including hundreds of volunteers, enthusiastic spectators and aid stations while providing opportunities for community support. “Our team has been working extremely hard for over a year to bring this world class road cycling event to our community,” says Jeffrey Hansen-
Carlson, President, Canadian Velo Event Management Society. “This could not have happened without our sponsors, community partners and volunteers.” Although the event is in its inaugural year, it has gained incredible support from community organizations and businesses in the Fraser Valley. “The Prospera Valley GranFondo is going to be one of the most scenic cycling
Proud to be the founding and title sponsor of the Prospera Valley GranFondo. Proceeds from the event go to Special Olympics BC. Thank you. Your support allows us to support others.

by the Prospera Valley GranFondo and the people of the Kwantlen First Nation, with the goal of combining First Nations artwork with the theme of cycling. Post ride festivities will include an authentic First Nation’s feast on the grounds of the Fort Langley National Historic Site. Spectators can expect to see an amazing site as close to 1000 cyclists will be lining up to take part. The start line for the event will be on Mavis Ave. across from the Fort Langley National Historic Site with riders departing at 7am. After the GranFondo and MedioFondo riders depart, over 300 children and parents will take part in the Sylvan FamilyFondo, a kid-friendly 3 kilometre cycling event for families. The ride, which departs at 8:30am, offers absolutely no interaction with trafÄc, plus volunteers will ensure all of the young cyclists are safe, supported, and having fun.
On July 22, 2012 more than one thousand cyclists will Änd their way to the Änish line of the Prospera Valley GranFondo with the help of over 400 community volunteers. The Prospera Valley GranFondo is a mass participation road cycling event that will take riders through the communities of Langley and Abbotsford on a fully supported, trafÄc controlled route. Prospera Credit Union, title sponsor of the Prospera Valley GranFondo, is proud to have more than 60 employees volunteering at the cycling event and their efforts help to make our communities better and stronger. The GranFondo has also attracted a diverse group of volunteers who see an opportunity to give back to their community.
Rick Lucy, Deputy Chief Constable with the Abbotsford Police Department has supported the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics for over twenty years. Volunteering with the Prospera Valley GranFondo is a natural extension of the commitment he has for Special Olympics BC, the Prospera Valley GranFondo’s charitable partner. As someone who enjoys athletics and coaching minor sports, he welcomes events that encourage Ätness and healthy living. The volunteers will be handling duties including registration, assisting with package pick-up, start & Änish line hosting, event communications, aid station hosts and course marshals.
“Having volunteered locally with SportMed BC for the Sun Run, I can appreciate what it takes to host great events. This is deÄnitely something I want to support”, says Andrea Strongitharm of Langley, a senior manager with Vancouver management consultancy Ärm Accenture, who recently returned to Langley from England where she lived for the past 7 years. She sees the Prospera Valley GranFondo as a way to showcase the scenic countryside and healthy lifestyle that Langley offers.

GranFondo sparks new bonds
BLAZE ROUND UP RANGERS
MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
Preparing for a six hour cycling ride is no easy feat. It takes months of practice rides and spin classes, a strict nutritional diet and a committed mental attitude. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what three employees of Wolfe Subaru Langley have discovered since they took on the challenge of the Valley GranFondo. Vice-president Mike Hacquard, general manager Marc Livingstone and shop forman technician Brian Liftin have teamed together to train for the 160 km cycling event, being held in Fort Langley this Sunday (July 22). While Hacquard has participated in GranFondos and similar events in the past, this is Liftin and Livingstoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very first attempt at a ride of this magnitude. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You learn a lot about your stamina, about nutrition, how important it is to hydrate and mental preparation, too,â&#x20AC;? Hacquard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The nice thing about riding in a group and doing this as a trio is that you kind of lean on one another to get through it.â&#x20AC;? The three have been training at least twice a week for the past three months, riding anywhere from 50 to 150 km in a single session. Last month, they challenged themselves by riding up Cypress Mountain. It took over an hour to ride the approximate 15 km on an eight to 12 degree climb. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the time we got to the top I wanted to jump off the bike and kiss the ground,â&#x20AC;? Livingstone said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; I made it. I felt elated, like a goal was accomplished. It was very cool. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to feeling that at the end of the GranFondo.â&#x20AC;? One of the biggest lessons that has come from training is the importance of eating well and keeping hydrated. Riding a GranFondo event can burn 3,000 to 5,000 calories, so it is vital to replenish your system, Hacquard said.
Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times
A member of the Texas Rangers Scout Team drives back to first after Langley Sr. Blazeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scott Webster tries to pick him off. The Blaze played three games against the Rangers at McLeod Athletic Park last weekend, winning 9-3 on Friday night, 3-1 on Sunday afternoon and losing 7-5 Sunday evening. This is the first time the Oregonbased team, which is run by the head scout for the Texas Rangers, has come to Canada to play.
Liftin discovered this the hard way two weeks ago when he attempted to ride the Valley GranFondo route from Fort Langley, through Abbotsford, up Sumas Mountain and back to Fort Langley in the middle of the hot afternoon sun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started falling asleep on my bike,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough fluids. I took all my supplements, my bananas, my power
bar â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough to drink. I actually had to stop in Fort Langley near the end and have a little nap before I rode home. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough.â&#x20AC;? Beyond the physical strain, the ride is also mentally challenging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daunting all at the same time,â&#x20AC;? Hacquard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a character test. But once you start going, and
you get the first half hour in, you start to get away from all of the emotions and you begin to focus on the ride. Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so long, anywhere from three and a half to six hours to complete, you go through a lot of different states emotionally and physically throughout the ride.â&#x20AC;?

Greening the BC Summer Games
Organized sport events, no matter how big or small, have an environmental impact. With the help of its motivated volunteers, the BC Games Society is striving to reduce its environmental impact and raise awareness. Community-driven programs initiated by the BC Winter and BC Summer Games volunteers are contributing to reducing the environmental impact of the Games and are developing leaders by increasing environmental awareness among Games participants, volunteers, and community members. For example, the 2008 BC Winter Games in Kimberley and Cranbrook established best practices to reduce environmental impact. A volunteer team of “Go Green” Ambassadors were active and visible dur-
ing the Games implementing the plan and raising awareness. This community-led initiative developed youth leaders and established important benchmarks that future hosts could refer to in order to reduce their environmental impact. The 2010 Summer Games in the Township took the lead to ensure all food waste was composted and recycling bins were available at all sport venues. “The challenge for BC Games host communities is the great variety of available resources to implement changes in areas such as transportation, food services, and venue operations,” said Kelly Mann, president and CEO of the BC Games Society. “But, given that there is a clear desire by participants and host communities to reduce environmental impact, the BC Games Soci-
EY EVENTS CENT RE NGL LA TS ACADEMY SPOR
ety took the lead to develop information and resources for community volunteers to adapt to guide policy and implement action plans.” Before the 2010 BC Summer Games, Metro Vancouver, the regional government responsible for waste management in the Greater Vancouver area, provided policy and planning support. What resulted is a set of resources and samples that reflect the unique structure of the BC Games and consider the many different communities involved. The BC Games resource materials complement other established “green” Games standards such as a no-idling policy for all Games transportation vehicles. No bottled water is supplied to venues at the BC Games and athletes are required to bring a reusable
water bottle to fill with tap water throughout their competitions. Greening the Games also comes in places you don’t expect. Until 2009, the BC Games torch was lit 100 days prior to the Opening Ceremony. This torch burned 900,000 cubic feet of natural gas and contributed 12 tonnes of green house gases to the atmosphere. The gas torch is now retired and replaced with an energy-efficient LED torch that draws 850 watts of energy - comparable to a household toaster.This torch symbolizes the innovation and initiative that the BC Games will strive to adopt with other environmentally responsible initiatives moving forward. The 2012 BC Summer Games will take place in Surrey, July 19 to 22. Visit www. bcgames.org for more information.

BCHL & CIS Schedules Released
T
he BC Hockey League and CIS both released their 2012-2013 season schedules this past month clearing up when the Langley Rivermen and TWU Spartans will be hosting games at the Langley Events Centre. The Rivermen schedule will have 56 regular season games (as opposed to 60 which was previously the case). The new format will allow for a more family friendly schedule featuring more weekend games; not to mention the reduced travel costs each team should see. The BCHL season will kick off with the First Annual BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack at Prospera Centre. The Rivermen will kick off the event on Friday, September 7th against Alberni Valley at 3:30 PM and finish the Showcase on Sunday, September 9th at 6:00 PM against Prince George.
#1-20571 Dou glas Crescent
The BCHL and its 16 teams will be split up into three separate divisions this season (Mainland, Island, and Interior). The Rivermen will be in the Mainland division which will include Surrey, Coquitlam, Chilliwack and Prince George. Following the BCHL Showcase, the Rivermen will open up the regular schedule on the road in Coquitlam on Friday, September 14th in Coquitlam. The first time the home fans will have the chance to see the improved roster at the Langley Events Centre will be Saturday, September 22nd against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. Fans will notice one change with Rivermen home games this season and that is the start times for all evening games (Monday through Saturday) will be 7:15pm. The slightly later start is to allow fans some extra time to make it out to the LEC but still be
7888 200th Street, Langley BC | langleyeventscentre.com | 604.882.8800
able to make it home at a reasonable hour for our young fans. Sunday game times will remain at 2:00pm followed by a Skate with the Rivermen every time the team plays (on Sunday’s). In the gymnasium, the Trinity Western University Spartans Men’s Volleyball team will look to again defend the Men’s National Championship this season and will open the season, with the women’s team, on October 27 against rival UBC. The basketball program will open their home season against UBC as well the following weekend (November 2 and 3) providing the Spartan faithful an exciting two weeks of competition to start their season.

Jr. Thunder push on in playoffs
GranFondo helps create ‘team environment’ among employees from PAGE 31
When asked if there have ever been moments they thought they couldn’t make it, Livingstone said “all the time.” “I’m looking for excuses. Come on chain please break off. Come on tire, something, please,” he said with a laugh. The trio’s main goal for the GranFondo on Sunday is to finish the ride
together. Training for the event has allowed the employees from three different levels of the company to get to know each other better, also changing their work dynamic. “It’s brought us together a little closer,” Hacquard said. “We’re now trying to get as many employees as we can to be part of events outside of work. It brings us together in a little bit more of a team environment.
The Valley GranFondo starts at 7 a.m. inside the Fort Langley National Historic Site in Fort Langley. It is the first mass cycling event of its kind in the Fraser Valley and half of the proceeds will be donated to Special Olympics B.C. to provide sports programs for those with disabilities. Entertainment and festivities will take place throughout the day at the Fort. For more information, visit www.valleygranfondo.com.
The Langley Jr. Thunder advance to the second round in the BC Junior A lacrosse playoffs, after dominating over the Port Coquitlam Saints in the best of three series. The first game, on July 11, saw a 5-4 victory over the Saints, followed by a 13-6 win on July 12. The Jr.Thunder finished fourth in the regular season with 12 wins and nine losses. They will now face the Coquitlam Adanacs in the second round. The first game is tomorrow night (July 18) at 7:30 p.m. at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. Game 2 is on July 22 at 7 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre.
