Shots fired in Aldergrove MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times
Danielle King and Krissy Jorgenson, of the Shallow Divers team, perform CPR during the 13th annual Langley Lifeguard Competition held at Walnut Grove Community Centre on Saturday. The competition presents mock scenarios — in this instance they are responding to a near-drowning at a birthday party — as the teams must determine the best way to attend the situation and provide medical attention. Fifteen teams of four took part with Coquitlam’s Shock Advised — made up of Jen Beach, Chris Cordova, Dan Minster and Gord MacDonnell — winning the competition. Next up for the team is the provincial championships on Aug. 24 and 25 on Vancouver Island.
‘N’ driver breaks the rules
MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
An 18-year-old Langley ‘N’ driver may lose her licence after police pulled her over with four people sleeping in the bed of her truck and five crammed into the cab on
Sunday, Aug. 12. Not only was there nine people in the pickup, the new driver blew a ‘warn’ into a breathalyzer, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. Around midnight, police were called about an erratic

A neighbourhood dispute is the reason a 20-year-old man shot at his neighbour and caused a police standoff in south Aldergrove on Monday night, says the stepfather of the victim. Langley RCMP confirm that dozens of police and the Emergency Response Team were called to the 1900 block of 269A Street late Monday night after shots were fired. The man wasn’t injured but the shooter barricaded himself inside a home around midnight and refused to come out. ERT was able to get the man out and arrest him without incident around 6 a.m. on Tuesday, confirmed Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. “There are some mental health issues involved,” she said. Langley RCMP said the victim approached his neighbour shortly after midnight to discuss some property damage that had occurred. After a short discussion, the victim of the property damage returned to his own home. Shortly after that, a number of shots were fired. No one was hit by the discharged bullets, said police. The shooting was a neighbourhood dispute which has been escalating, pitting a family of chicken farmers against area residents, said the victim’s stepfather. “The young man who fired rounds at my stepson’s truck is among the neighbours who are taking issue with us expanding our chicken barns,” said Cory Spitters. “It was an act of vigilantism in an effort to shut us down.” “My stepson is a young father of three kids. He doesn’t need to be shot

at,” said Spitters. The victim runs a neighbouring poultry farm in the family business. Chicken farms do deal with manure and smells and use large fans for air in the barns. Spitters has a large poultry operation along with his stepson on two neighbouring properties. This has caused some anger among some neighbours. But a recent expansion, adding three new large barns onto another property on 20 Avenue, has raised the neighbours’ ire even more, he said. There have been arguments, he said. According to Langley RCMP, the serious crime section is investigating this incident and may recommend a number of charges against the 20-year-old. In the meantime, Langley RCMP’s Victim Services is offering support to the family members involved in this. “These people have to understand they are living in a farming community — get used to it. If you come in here and build a fancy home and then expect us to not farm, you are very mistaken. “We are big poultry farms. We are building a family legacy with our business and we don’t intend to stop,” he said. Spitters claims RCMP and bylaw officers, along with Department of Fisheries and Environment have been called out to their business by the neighbours on numerous occasions. “We are fully legitimate. We are abiding by all the legislation.We just want to live in peace and have the right to farm. I’ll sit down with them and we will try to work on what we can do. But if these neighbours choose to intimidate us, we will push back.” He said he is interested in buying properties around him to expand the business.

FORT LANGLEY
Overpass location questioned
Police were genuine
NATASHA JONES
MONIQUE TAMMINGA
Times Reporter
Times Reporter
A legal document dated November, 2003 sealed an agreement between CN Rail and the Township of Langley for a pedestrian walkway that would link the Bedford Landing housing development with the rest of Fort Langley. When plans were first unveiled for Bedford Landing on Fort Langley’s waterfront, residents raised concern about pedestrian access between the development and the village. What made that access particular challenging was the double set of railway tracks separating Bedford Landing from the village. Now, nine years later, work on the overpass is almost complete, but some of the residents who are impacted the most say they were kept in the dark about the location until groundwork began for the footings in the spring. One anchor of the pedestrian overpass is right on Gord Clemett’s doorstep. Clemett is upset for several reasons, not least of which is that he wasn’t advised that a walkway support would sit at the edge of his property at the end of Marr Street, and nor were several residents on Edal Street. Furthermore, a long and narrow stretch of trees may be chopped down to accommodate the walkway, obliterating what is now a noise barrier, he said. One day in May, Clemett came home to find a huge hole dug only feet away from the northerly edge of his house. A big gap from the felled trees will be filled in soon enough by the elevated walkway, spoiling his privacy. “I’m sure a better position of the ramp and pathway could have been designed to minimize property impact,” Clemett said. “There was no notification about the construction,” he said, questioning whether ParkLane (developer of Bedford Landing) can legally build a structure so close to his property. “There is no sensitivity for the lifestyle of the people who pay the taxes,” Clemett said. He wonders why the overpass is not being built closer to Glover Road, and is not happy that his complaints to Township hall have gone unanswered. ParkLane, he said, is calling the shots. His written complaint outlined his concerns: No notification about the construction, commercial structure within nine metres of a suburban property, the negative effect on the septic field, property devaluation and lack of compensation. ParkLane held several meetings with Fort residents after the Bedford Landing concept
It turns out the police impersonators Langley RCMP were warning the public about were actual Mounties after all. Langley RCMP made the admission on Tuesday morning, saying that after the police files were completed, it was realized the man and woman wearing trench coats and claiming to be police were actual constables, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. “The good news is at least we aren’t dealing with people impersonating police officers,” said Marks. The advice Supt. Derek Cooke gave about every citizen having the right to contact their local detachment to confirm an officer’s identity still stands, she said. In the case of the two plainclothes officers at the Walnut Grove skate park on Friday, they were in fact speaking with the youth about a 15-year-old Walnut Grove girl who had been missing from her nearby home since Aug. 4. She was found that day. The officers hadn’t submitted their full reports of the day until later, hence the confusion, Marks said. The African-American male who spoke to the teens earlier about policing matters was a local youth worker, said Marks.

Construction of the pedestrian overpass over the CN tracks in Fort Langley is well underway. Residents near the south end of the overpass are concerned about its proximity to their homes. was hatched from Equitas’ Watercolours development and, said Deana Grinnell, ParkLane’s director of land development who was heavily involved in the process, the earliest documentation contemplated the overpass where it is being built now. However, something has obviously gone awry, as so many residents were caught unawares, Clemett said. He maintains that prospective house buyers on the south side of the railway tracks are shying away, mainly, he said, because the removal of trees means the noise of trains is more pronounced. His Marr Street neighbours Ela and John Mis are not happy, either. They say they feel betrayed by the Township, and that the trees and shrubs that lie between their home and the railway tracks will be needlessly destroyed. They said that during the open houses/ town hall meetings, residents were told that the pathway would be placed as far as possible from existing property lines. They believed that the path would be approximately about 8 to 10 feet south of the existing CNR fence. “Over the last year there were some surveys conducted and every one of them was bringing the pathway closer and closer to our property line,” they wrote in an email to Township staff. They point out that residents were given to believe that the gravel trail would be built through trees, connecting with the end of Edal Street and the west end of Mavis Avenue. The trail was shown to be 20 to 25 feet north of the existing property lines, placing
it downslope from the existing houses. “As a condition of trail work in this area the developer, ParkLane, is required to undertake a tree survey and arbourist’s report with the intention of maintaining as many trees as possible along this corridor with the final alignment of the trail,” they said. “Our understanding of the above statement was that the trail would be aligned with the existing trees and not the other way around. Now, it seems like it would run in a straight line no matter how many trees or bushes would have to be cut down.” It would be to everyone’s benefit if the pathway was built on the north side of the visible berm, they added. The walkway does not eliminate two existing ground-level crossings of the railway tracks, at Glover Road and 96 Avenue. Another overpass has been suggested to carry pedestrians over the railway track and River Road from the National Historic Site to the east end of Marina Park. Al Neufeld, the manager of parks and development for the Township, said that talks with the federal government, owners of all the pertinent land, have not gone beyond informal discussions. The price tag is pegged at between $1 million and $1.5 million. Pedestrians access the overpass from Billy Brown Road on the southern end of Bedford Landing homes. The elevated walkway’s westerly edge lines up with Marr Street, a cul de sac. The Township formally approved the overpass location in September, 2010.

FIRE LEADS TO DELAYS The driver of a BMW SUV managed to pull over and get out of the vehicle before caught flames engulfing it eastbound on Highway One, near the 208 Street overpass on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 9. Township firefighters rushed to the scene and doused the flames with foam. Firefighters confirm that no one was injured in the fire. The fire was the beginning of a nightmare commute for freeway users, who saw several accidents, at the 232 Street exit and the 264 Street exit.

Police involved in pair of altercations Two Langley officers were involved in physical altercations after traffic stops over the last week. The most recent incident took place on Sunday, Aug. 12 in the very early morning hours when general duty officers pulled over a vehicle for speeding in the 20800 block of Fraser Highway. The officer approached the driver and suspected the driver had been drinking. The driver was asked to use a breathalyzer but refused. The suspect, a 25-year-old Port Moody man, refused to provide a breath
sample. During the arrest of the suspect, a physical fight took place beginning on the sidewalk, onto the grass and eventually into a nearby ditch, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. Additional officers were called to help. After several minutes of struggling, the suspect was arrested and brought back to the Langley detachment. Police will be recommending charges to Crown Counsel relative to resisting arrest and driving related charges. On Aug. 8, two officers from the

systems if driving. Two of the four in the back were arrested. One was arrested for an outstanding warrant and the other for breaching a condition of his probation. There was a lot of intoxication involved, said Marks. In this instance, a myriad of violation tickets could have been issued, said Marks. The driver still may face a Motor Vehicle Act violation of losing her licence, said Marks. She will also have to pay the impound costs. She could have been fined $311 for allowing more passengers than available seatbelts. She will be fined $109 for driving contrary to her ‘N’ licence restrictions, which only allows for one passenger. Each person riding outside the vehicle could have been fined $167. The legislation relative to the number of passengers permitted for a new driver has been developed for the safety of all involved, said Langley RCMP Insp. Amrik Virk. “I have been at the worst possible collision scene where several young men lost their lives,� said Virk. There have been at least two single-vehicle crashes where teenage boys lost their lives because of excessive speed and too many passengers riding with an ‘N’ driver. “It was a combination of youth, exuberance, excessive passengers and speeding. Our officers will continue their vigilance in the enforcement of this legislation,� said Virk. While it’s not too common to see passengers riding in the box of a pickup truck, it is worth mentioning the dangers associated with it, said Marks. A vehicle doesn’t have to be going at a high rate of speed to make a fall from the back of a truck dangerous or even deadly. Of note, Rick Hansen was paralyzed at the age of 15, when the pickup he was riding in collided with a tree. He was riding in the box. “In the warm weather, it might seem like harmless fun to have a few friends ride in the box of a pickup truck in a field or for a short distance,� said Marks. “The reality is, even short distances and what would seem to be harmless fun, can have deadly consequences.�

Powwow planned for Aug. 24 - 26 School. There were many reasons why that powwow waned, said Brandon Gabriel, powwow committee chair. “I think that powwow had a pretty good run. I think the biggest challenge was that the location was not able to accommodate a growing following from dancers, drummers, and the general public, and this put limits on what kind of a program that committee was able to implement,” said Brandon Gabriel. “Last year we tested the waters to see if there would be interest from dancers, drummers, and the general public to have a powwow.

We believe that the Langley Arts Council can help us achieve our goals,” said Brandon Gabriel.

Lekstrom said he has heard from many people who consider that toll too high, especially since the bridge will function with only eight lanes for the first year. The old bridge must be taken down before the last two lanes can be connected to Highway 1. So would a toonie get you across during the first year? Lekstrom wouldn’t give specific number

As the Port Mann bridge replacement nears completion, Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom says he is “optimistic” that the toll can be lowered below $3 per crossing, at least for the first year. Lekstrom said in an interview this week that his discussions with the corporation set up to build the 10-lane bridge indicate it may be possible to reduce the toll rate by extending the debt
until the entire tolling framework is released, which is expected to be in early September. Lekstrom said he’s also confident that the promised rapid bus service will be in place from day one. If TransLink’s $30 million funding shortfall isn’t covered by savings from an ongoing audit of the regional transit group, he said he’s committed to work with communities to find the money.

Giving cancer the boot Langley man aiming to kick 1,000 yards in field goals in memory of his father

Josh Collins is trying to give cancer the boot. More specifically, the former football player is hoping to kick 100,000 yards in field goals — 2,858 field goals of 35 yards apiece — in 48 hours in his quest to raise $100,000. The money would be used to help families take care of their loved one who are battling cancer. “I know first hand just how hard it is,” said the 31-year-old Collins.

lberta Premier Alison Redford doesn’t seem to understand what the fuss is about. She has been feuding with B.C. Premier Christy Clark over the Northern Gateway pipeline, ever since Clark suggested that B.C. does not get enough benefits from a pipeline which would be operated by a company with a spotty safety record in recent years. In addition, the pipeline would traverse many environmentally sensitive areas and would supply tankers which would travel along B.C.’s northern coast — which means additional risks to B.C. Redford was in Vancouver on Tuesday and reiterated that she doesn’t plan to share any of Alberta’s oil wealth with B.C. She added that there needs to be a national energy strategy — something which seems a bit odd coming from Alberta, given its white-hot hatred of the National Energy Program 30 years ago. Redford’s position on sharing energy royalties isn’t unreasonable. B.C. doesn’t share resource revenues with Alberta, or any other province for that matter. But Redford doesn’t seem to fully comprehend that B.C. is taking the major portion of the risk that this pipeline will bring, with little to show for it. Yes, it would be good to have additional markets for oil. At the same time, Canadians (including Albertans) need to ask what value there is, in the long term, in shipping vast quantities of raw materials overseas. It’s the same question many Vancouver Islanders ask about the continued shipment of raw logs to China. The export of logs creates a few jobs, but most of the added value from the product is gained in China — not in B.C. This doesn’t seem like a good way to boost the B.C. economy. Redford and her fellow oil barons need to understand a few facts about B.C. First and foremost, almost all First Nations along the proposed route oppose this pipeline. They have sufficient legal rights to tie up this project indefinitely in court, if not stop it entirely. Second, B.C. residents do not oppose exports. Ports provide many good jobs here. But they, like most Canadians, also value the environment. B.C.’s environment is a major attraction to many of us, and a big oil spill would be completely unacceptable. Redford needs to be just a little less hard-nosed and more understanding of her neighbours. We should be co-operating, not feuding.

t’s mandatory to wear a bike helmet when you ride in B.C., but not in many parts of the world. People in such enlightened countries as Denmark and the Netherlands are not forced to don a nutshell, and yet here we fear the alternative. It makes sense: Who wouldn’t suddenly see the wisdom of some cushion when they’re flung over the bars? The issue arose recently with Vancouver’s decision to launch a bike share program next spring. The plan is to make 1,500 bikes available at about 125 stations in the downtown and the Broadway corridor between Main and Arbutus streets. The program will make it easier to leave the car at home. But promoting bike use is about removing barriers, and a bike helmet is a significant one. The City of Vancouver says it won’t ask Victoria for an exemption from the mandatory helmet law, and that may hinder its success. Only three bike share systems among the 300 or so worldwide have such a law. The two in Australia — Melbourne and Brisbane, where there is a helmet law — have failed miserably. On the road to encouraging more people to use bicycles to get around, it’s worth considering repealing the mandatory helmet law. At very least, an exemption for adults should be considered. Many will still wear their helmets. In Portland, where there is no helmet law, 80 per cent still do. And in B.C., despite the law requiring helmets, seven of the nine people killed on bikes in 2010 weren’t wearing one. In the end, the best route to a safer ride for cyclists is to have more bike paths and more people out on the street riding. The more bikes out there, the more it’s part of the landscape, and the more people in other vehicles are watching out. —Burnaby News Leader (Black Press) The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Great service from many businesses Editor: This is to offer kudos to several Langley retail businesses. Longtime friends from Texada Island were visiting with us. It is a three-ferry, full-day trip to get here. They, like many folks from outlying smaller towns, like to shop here for certain items that are less expensive or unavailable at home. They had limited time to get this all done before going to their son’s anniversary party on a recent Saturday afternoon. As the shopping had to be done on Saturday morning, often the busiest shopping time, my wife and I decided to drive our friends around separately. Our friends have a challenging problem, with over 5,000 bats roosting in the cavities of their vertical board and batten siding house on Texada Island (Is that where they got the name “bat-ten”?) We stopped at West Central Building Supplies on 62 Avenue, loaded up several items and the shipper helped us find two special rolls of three-foot screen door type screening. We were impressed with the great service. The screen is to hang from the eaves, which discourages the bats from returning to the roost they were accessing from the top of the batten board space. Word is they will fly under the screen to leave their roost, but won’t fly under it
to return to their roost. Next, we stopped at Nufloors on Langley Bypass for a special product which they didn’t carry. The friendly gal at the counter referred us to another company, and gave us a printout of a local map to redirect us. We were impressed with such helpful friendly treatment. We then went to Home Depot and a sales rep in the flooring department helped us find a special product my friend wanted to apply to his boat. We were done in five minutes, and received excellent instructive advice. Then we went to the tools department for special lithium-ion battery impact and driver tools. My friend, a professional engineer, is willing to pay more to avoid ‘Made in China,’ so I was wondering how this is going to happen. He found a $200 set with a special lifetime warranty offer, done in three minutes. Again, we were very impressed with knowledgeable sales rep, who with a two-minute spiel sold two sets to two different customers. The tools are made in Taiwan. Then it was off to the seasonal department, looking for bat houses. I had very low expectations about finding such a thing. Home Depot doesn’t carry this, but the salesman there was really helpful. He went on the internet and located a bird store in South Surrey, which carries a good selection of this unusual
item. He even phoned them to see if they had some in stock. We drove to Birds Unlimited and again received excellent service. We were out of there in 15 minutes, with three bat houses at a cost of $170. They can accommodate about 6,000 bats. Bats are desirable little creatures, in that they can consume up to half their body weight in insects daily. We made a few more stops. Upon leaving each store or department, we commented on the good service. Upon arriving back home, we were commenting with our wives about the over-the-top excellent service we got everywhere we went. Such good service doesn’t happen by chance. It takes repeated conscious effort, and I’m thinking it might be easy to give such quality service to good looking young people — but to two discriminating old grandpas who were shopping in a hurry? Our friends spent about $3,800 on retail goods during that rushed four hours. This was private sector, non-union enterprise in action. It’s something that the unionized sector might consider to strive to be better at. No doubt many of us could strive to learn and practise better personal, pleasing and effective communicating skills as well. Roland Seguin, Langley
‘No’ to teen recruitment for adult entertainment Editor: The media recently covered efforts by the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada to begin recruiting high school girls into their industry. I am writing to express my deep concern about this move, and my full support for advocates like Manitoba MP Joy Smith. The average age of entry into the Canadian sex industry is between 12 and 14 years old. We cannot be supporting efforts to recruit innocent young women for this work.
Each of these young women has great potential and purpose, which does not include serving men. While the Winnipeg Free Press suggested that Canadians do not care about this move, thousands of Canadians like me do care if our young women are being recruited into a degrading industry. I am a strong activist against human trafficking, because I believe every single life is invaluable and has potential to positively impact the world around them. While the Adult Entertain-
Teddy bears return Editor: For anyone who was wondering about the teddy bears (The Times, Aug. 9), they have returned to their stump at the top of the big hill next to the ravine on 272 Street in North Langley. It was such a such a nice surprise. I’m so glad they are back and that there was a note on the The
stump about where they had been. I had a big smile on my face as I stopped the car to read it. Apparently, they never did go to a picnic in the woods. It seems that the teddy bears have been away to a spa. They have never looked better. Gayle Brown, Langley
ment Association of Canada would like you to believe that it is a fulfilling career, no woman chooses to be abused multiple times for the profit of another person. I ask people to share their concerns about this association’s efforts and stand with MP Smith and others. We will not tolerate our young women being recruited into the degrading sex industry. Todd Hauptman, Langley
Don’t let NDP back in house Editor: For those planning to vote NDP for the first time, consider the facts. B.C. has a triple AAA credit rating, is a “have” province and has the second-lowest basic income tax rate in Canada. Barry Gibb wrote a song called, “Don’t throw it all away.” Consider this reality. Why would you never take back a former spouse after a previous divorce, to re-create
the nightmare, but be willing to do it to change the government? As B.C. is a business investment province and investment does not agree with NDP governments, can the NDP guarantee that you will not get a layoff slip from your place of employment, if in fact they become government? Joe Sawchuk, Duncan
Left out again Editor: Is there some reason that there will not be an electric vehicle charging station (The Times, Aug. 9) in Aldergrove? There will be six of them, four of which will be for public use: one at the Civic Facility, one in Walnut Grove, one at the LEC and one in Murrayville. Again, Aldergrove is left out as the poor cousin. Wouldn’t it make sense to have one in Aldergrove for those people who travel out this way and beyond? I’m guessing that they are cheaper by the half dozen. D. Atkinson, Aldergrove
Report vandalism Editor: I’m writing to bring awareness to an ongoing issue on the streets of Walnut Grove. My vehicle, along with others, has been repeatedly vandalized while parked along 208 Street. My tire was slashed. I think that too many of these crimes go unreported. I would like to send a message to the public that we need to report these crimes because they are that, crimes. The immature, petty, ignorant and obviously unintelligent punks who do these acts will get away with it if we all do nothing. It takes five minutes to file a police report, so do it.

B.C. already sacrifices to aid exporters JEFF NAGEL Black Press
What do the loss of Delta farmland, the paving over of ancient aboriginal sites on the Fraser River and Enbridge’s planned Northern Gateway oil pipeline to Kitimat all have in common? All three are sacrifices B.C. is being asked to make so the rest of Canada can use B.C. ports to exploit rising trade with Asia. Agricultural land is being carved off in blocks big and small to convert into portrelated development or highway improvements. The South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) last year rolled over some of the province’s oldest First Nations archaeological sites near the Alex Fraser Bridge. That may have gone relatively unnoticed, but most Lower Mainland motorists know their commutes are increasingly slowed by trucks clogging the roads and longer trains holding up traffic. All are symptoms of the pressure to make Metro Vancouver Canada’s west coast super port. Now, after a rising tide of public opposition to the Northern Gateway pipeline,
Premier Christy Clark has vowed to block it without world-leading environmental protection and a big share of benefits for B.C. She has her eye on the $81 billion tax bonanza governments stand to reap from the pipeline. Should Ottawa attempt to force it through, the province threatens to bog Enbridge down in permit approvals and even deny the project electricity from BC Hydro. Standing up to Alberta and Ottawa might make good politics in the dying year of a possibly doomed government. But such posturing likely rings hollow for local environmental groups like the Burns Bog Conservation Society, which has spent years fighting the SFPR over the threat it poses to the bog and wildlife habitat along the Fraser. The perimeter road is all about quickly shunting trucks between Deltaport and Highway 1, which is also expanding to 10 lanes through much of Metro Vancouver. For years, the B.C. government has been an ardent partner of Ottawa in its AsiaPacific Gateway strategy, expediting the port

with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business. Another new regulation took effect this summer, creating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own underage children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments. If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justification remains for government liquor sales. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca
Raise offer withdrawn TOM FLETCHER Black Press
After targeting provincial offices with their second one-day strike, the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union says the provincial government has followed through on its threat to withdraw its offered wage increase. BCGEU negotiators had rejected a raise of two per cent this year and 1.5 per cent next year when it was presented in late June. Citing a twoyear wage freeze leading up to this year’s negotiations, the union wants 3.5 this year and a raise equivalent to the cost of living increase for 2013.
and road expansion. Victoria never lifted a finger to stop the resulting industrialization of farmland, and in fact pulled land out of the Agricultural Land Reserve to enable the port expansion envisioned in the Tsawwassen Treaty. Where, Metro Vancouver mayors might also ask, was Clark’s boldness to shake down Ottawa when they wanted to slap a tax on each container
that moves through the port? Since container trucks beat up our roads and bridges, they suggested, why not
that doesn’t come from the pockets of the region’s embattled taxpayers and motorists. But the container tax was shot down almost instantly by the BC Liberals. In fairness, this region has been on the receiving end of plenty of cash from Ottawa. The feds have pumped in hundreds of millions of dollars — not just for obvious portrelated projects like the SFPR and Roberts Bank Rail Corridor
Motorists already know about trucks clogging up roads and longer trains holding up traffic. charge a container toll that would go to TransLink and act as one new funding source
overpasses, but also big contributions to the construction of the Pitt River Bridge, the Canada Line and now the Evergreen Line to extend SkyTrain to Coquitlam. Port expansion also promises thousands of additional jobs in the Lower Mainland, which can’t pin its economic future on retail service wages alone. That doesn’t take away from the fact there are downsides to being Canada’s West Coast industrial park. Whether it’s the new
Enbridge pipeline, the expanded Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal or simply more expansion of port terminals, all of this boils down to the same thing: an expectation B.C. suck it up and accept inconvenience, risk and environmental or other losses to benefit the rest of Canada. If we are being asked, over and over, to take one for Team Canada, maybe it is time to consider seeking a new deal. Jeff Nagel is a regional reporter for Black Press.

Housing starts aren’t any better, except for in the townhouse market where there has been a 48 per cent increase. It all seems to all be happening in the Willoughby area. This year, 51 per cent fewer apartments were built compared to last year, and 23 per cent fewer single family homes. Real estate sales in Langley are steady, however. More single family homes and apartments were sold this year than last. With townhouses, 1.7 per cent fewer were sold this year, compared to last.
Prices remain steady, despite a cooling market across Metro Vancouver. On another note, residents actually make less now than in years earlier. According to the Township, the average Langley Township resident made $42,482 in 2009 based on income tax returns. That same resident made $43,019 in 2008. The average B.C. resident made 2.4 per cent less in 2009 than they did in 2008. Unemployment rates remain high at 6.5 per cent in Vancouver in June 2012. It peaked at 7.3 per cent last June.

A travel trailer worth about $10,000 was destroyed in Aldergrove on Monday by a fire that broke out when paint thinner was accidentally spilled onto a stove.
Three fires in three days NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
An Aldergrove man escaped unhurt when he accidentally spilled paint thinner on the stove of a travel trailer on which he had been carrying out repairs. The trailer, valued at $10,000, was destroyed. The fire occurred at about 3:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 13, in the 26100 block of 58 Ave. Heat from the flames melted the siding of a four bay garage, causing about $5,000 damage, said Bruce Ferguson, spokesman for the Township fire department.

On the B.C. Day long weekend, RCMP attended two fatal crashes resulting in three deaths. On average, the B.C. Day long weekend sees five people lose their lives on local highways, said RCMP Sgt. Pierre Lemaitre, of E Division traffic services, based in Langley. In a four-day policing blitz, from Aug. 3 to Aug. 6, hundreds of tickets were handed out: • 42 drivers lost their
license for 90 days after failing a breathalyzer; • 407 people weren’t wearing, seatbelts; • 1,897 were given speeding tickets; •173 charged for using a cellphone; • 70 pulled over for driving a defective vehicle; • 24 charges of driving without due care; • 102 charges of driving contrary to novice restrictions; •15 charges of not

wearing a helmet while driving a motorcycle; and • 36 charged for not having insurance. On the long weekend, the Greater Vancouver Integrated Road Safety Unit worked con the Sea-ToSky Project (Highway 99) in order to enhance road safety there. Sgt. Marc Alexander pointed out that many motorists on the highway waved at officers and gave them
a thumbs up while they were dealing with violators. Alexander said he had some interesting interactions with motorists over the long weekend. When stopped for excessive speeding, the passenger of one vehicle hugged the officer. She said, ‘I was sitting in the passenger seat being quiet but saying to myself,“He is going to get a ticket.” I am glad he did. Maybe
he will slow down now.” She was perfectly happy to finish her ride in the tow truck, said Alexender. Three class 7 drivers had their vehicles impounded. Two were not displaying the N sign. One of these was driving contrary to Licence Restriction as well, due to the number of occupants in the vehicle. The drivers of more than one high-end

Residents concerned about sight lines, noise pollution and traffic MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
A development of industrial buildings at 203 Street and 96 Avenue in Northwest Langley has nearby residents at Chelsea Green complex very concerned. Although they are not opposed to the project, the residents are worried about sight lines from apartments on the west side of the property, noise pollution and vehicle traffic. Krahn Engineering Ltd. is planning to build a new industrial/ warehouse building, a multi-tenant commercial/ industrial building and a commercial/ warehouse building for Lordco Auto Parts, about 42 metres away from the residential dwellings. There is already an existing 20 to 32-metre landscape buffer between the proposed buildings and Chelsea Green, and a five metre landscaped trail that the Township has installed. An additional five meter landscape area and five metre high concrete screen wall are also proposed. Although residents don’t believe the project will decrease the value of any of the 224 homes at Chelsea Green,“it will certainly not help their salability,” said Jim Doerr, a resident of Chelsea Green and past president of the strata council. Doerr spoke to council on behalf of the residents at a public hearing. He told council they are thankful for the installment of the pedestrian walkway and landscape additions as they have “added to the livability of our neighbourhood.” What the residents are most concerned about now is replacing a number of mature trees that were damaged during the installation of the walkway, dealing with increased traffic on 96 Avenue and ensuring that noise from trucks and warehouse activity does not interrupt their daily lives.

Family-run business signs on as sponsor Abreast In A Boat, a Dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors, has just secured BC Greenhouse Builders Ltd., a local family-run business, as a new major sponsor. To recognize the generous sponsorship, a bronze sponsor certificate was presented to them at a garden party hosted by Henry and Greta Heinen at their home in Langley. Several members of Fortitude the Abreast In A Boat crew from Fort Langley, as well as members from other crews were in attendance and created quite a picture in their bright pink shirts. Naturally, the theme of the event was pink, from the table setting and delicious confections, right down to the pink lemonade. Abreast In A Boat has crews throughout the Metro Vancouver area,

A different kind of lemonade stand Walnut Grove sisters offer lemonade in exchange for clothing for homeless Two Walnut Grove youngsters have learned to make lemonade with a twist. When Holly and Kate Horngren-Rhodes asked their mother if they could set up a lemonade stand in their neighbourhood, she wondered just how much work it would take, as she had dozens of chores she needed to tackle during the week. When her older daughter, Kate, said that she didn’t want to keep the proceeds, it was easy to give her consent. “I want people to bring their old jackets so I can give them to the homeless,” Kate told her mother. “If she had wanted to buy a skateboard or an iPod, that

Kate apparently had put some thought into this, too, letting her mother know that this would not be a one-day only event, because people would return to the lemonade stand with
the clothes they wanted to donate. A kind Walnut Grove resident heard about Kate’s idea and offered to help by giving Kate and her older sister, Holly, a location which provided more exposure than the cul-de-sac where the family lives. In two days, the sisters made lemonade and rallied passersby
to support helping those less fortunate than themselves. Together, the sisters collected two boxes and two large bags of coats and an abundant supply of new socks, scarves, gloves and toques. The girls will take the clothes to homeless people at the beginning of winter.

Pipeline won’t be pushed on B.C., says Prime Minister BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rejected suggestions his government is considering pushing through
the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline across northern B.C. Harper was asked about Enbridge Inc.’s pipeline project at a stop in Vancouver Tuesday, and the frequent accusation that he has already decided it is in the national interest for it to proceed. “I’ve been very clear that decisions on these kinds of projects are made through an independent evaluation conducted by scientists into the economic costs and risks that are associated with the project,” Harper said. “I think that’s the only way governments can handle controversial projects of this manner, to ensure that things are evaluated on an independent basis, scientifically, and not simply on political criteria.” Harper told reporters he has spoken with B.C. Premier Christy Clark and other premiers about pipelines, but those conversations are
vidual project, he said. Kinder Morgan hopes to twin its existing oil pipeline from Alberta to port and refinery facilities in Burnaby, to transport more heavy oil from the Athabasca oil sands. But the company has not yet formally applied for federal environment assessment. Clark initially said her government would wait until the federal assessment of Enbridge is concluded in 2013 before deciding Stephen Harper Prime Minister whether to support it. Then in late July, the enues. “I’m not going to get B.C. government preinto an argument or dis- sented a list of five precussion about how we conditions, including a divide hypothetical rev- positive recommendation from the federal enues,” Harper said.

Bluetree Homes and Wesgroup Properties announce The Brewery District
Brewing up ‘an exciting ... place to live’ Bluetree Homes and Wesgroup Properties are teaming up to bring the Brewery District to New Westminster. Located in historic Sapperton, directly connected to SkyTrain and beside the Royal Columbian Hospital, the Brewery District will offer something for everyone. “We believe that the Brewery District will be an exciting and vibrant place to live, and that it is an important part of the future of New Westminster,” says Bluetree President Ben Taddei. “We are pleased to become a part of this community and the vision set out by Wesgroup, with the development of its residential buildings.”
The first high-rise tower will have 130 suites, and will start sales this winter. “A strong and reputable builder, Bluetree Homes will bring exceptional value to this exciting next phase at the Brewery District, and we are excited to welcome them to this vibrant community,” says Gino Nonni, president of Wesgroup. Eventually the development will include approximately 750 homes, space for almost 100 new businesses and the new TransLink and Transit Police corporate headquarters, which are currently under construction. For more information, visit www. thebrewerydistrict.ca.
European-style living
Leave the car behind at Morgan Crossing by Kerry Vital
When you live at South Surrey’s Morgan Crossing, loneliness is a thing of the past. With more than 60 shops and services right outside your front door, including Winners, Steve Nash Sports Club and Thrifty Foods, there is literally something for everyone, and you’ll rapidly run out of excuses for being a couch potato. Creating a community feel is the core of the entire concept, says Bryan Woolley of Fingerprint Strategies. Developed by Larco Investments, the company behind the Village at Park Royal, Morgan Crossing has the feel of a European-style village. One of the advantages in living in Morgan Crossing is its easy walkability and proximity to nearly everything you would need on a day-to-day basis. With shops, restaurants and fitness right outside your front door, it won’t take long to run your daily errands. “You can go in your pajamas and your slippers if you want!” laughs Woolley. Larco has been very successful in creating a village feel when you walk into Morgan Crossing, and Woolley says that there is a wide range of demographics buying homes, from 19-year-olds just starting out to seniors downsizing. “If you don’t like people, this isn’t the place to be,” Woolley says, adding that when you walk out your door, you’re almost guaranteed to meet someone that you know. The homes at Morgan Crossing are chic and modern, with generous patios and balconies, electric fireplaces and hardwood laminate floors throughout the main living areas. The kitchens feature European laminate cabinets, soft-close drawers (no more door slamming), granite and silestone countertops and an elegant glass or mosaic stainless-steel backsplash. The bathrooms are perfect for relaxing after a long day, with chic porcelain and ceramic tile flooring, granite and marble countertops and roomy tubs with hand-set ceramic tile surrounds. There are many different floorplans available, ranging from one to three bedrooms, some with dens. With the number of plans available, you will have no trouble finding the perfect home for you. Looking to be right in the middle of the action? Finding a home on the main street would work for you.
Perhaps a mountain view is your style? Morgan Crossing has several homes with that gorgeous scenery. “The biggest draw is the village,” Woolley says. “You’re not spending time going to the disparate pieces of your life ... it’s a more sustainable lifestyle. We don’t get too many people driving between stores.” One of the great things about living in Morgan Crossing is the variety of community events that are held frequently, including car shows, outdoor movie nights and festivals. The community is “so vibrant and interesting,” Woolley says. With the warmer weather on its way, he expects that the outdoor walkways will soon be bustling. Homes start at $234,900. For more information, visit morgancrossing.ca or call 604-582-1336.
“
If you don’t like people, this isn’t the place to be,” says Bryan Woolley of Fingerprint Strategies.
Submitted photos
There are plenty of things to do in Morgan Crossing, from checking out the latest styles to grabbing groceries for a casual dinner party. The homes at Morgan Crossing, including The Summit House, top, are elegant and modern, with plenty of outdoor space for entertaining.

Mazda Canada held their grand opening for their Western Regional Operations Centre in Gloucester Industrial Park last week. The new 125,000 square foot facility offers several green initiatives, including how they transport parts (below). linked to motion sensors that reduce electricity consumption. And previously, parts were packaged up in cardboard boxes for shipping. Now, parts are delivered to dealers in reusable steel cages and plastic containers. The cages fold up compactly when empty, for shipment back to the PDC. Another bonus is less freight damage with the wire cages. Parts from Japan are left in their original cardboard packaging, but other parts like nuts and bolts are put in re-useable plastic totes in cages. The project was designed and built by the Beedie Development Group. Neovia Logistics Services is responsible for managing the warehouse operations.

Hoops trio gets bronzed Three from Langley on Team BC as provincial team comes third at U17 basketball nationals GARY AHUJA Times Sports
While many of their classmates spent their summers relaxing, hanging out and doing typical teenager stuff, a trio of Langley teens spent a whole lot of time in the inside of gymnasiums. But the sacrifice paid off over the weekend as Sydney Williams, Tayla Jackson and Amy Sprangers helped Team BC win bronze at the Canadian U17 girls basketball championships in Fredericton, N.B. B.C. defeated Quebec 69-38 in the bronze medal game on Saturday (Aug. 11). The process to make out the team began months ago, with the players being named to the roster in April. From there, the team spent the summer playing together in various tournaments all the while knowing that of the 18 players, only a dozen would make the final roster to head to New Brunswick for the U17 championships. “It was a really big goal (to make the team),” admitted Williams, prior to attending the championships. Williams played on the U15 provincial team two years ago. But unhappy with her performance that summer, she took last
summer off to work on her game. “I wasn’t playing up the standards for myself,” she said. The year off did help her recharge and it showed on the court during the high school basketball season where she played guard for the Brookswood Bobcats. Williams, who enters Grade 12 at Brookswood next month, was a key contributor for the Bobcats, who spent much of the year at first or second in the AAA senior girls rankings before ultimately coming fourth at provincials. Brookswood coach Neil Brown calls Williams probably the best athlete on the team who brings strength. “She is tough; if they went into a weight room, no one would even come close to her,” he said. “She is the strongest kid on that team.” For Jackson and Sprangers, making the U17 provincial team came as a little bit of a surprise considering both players are underaged. Jackson is 15 and going into Grade 10 at Brookswood, while Sprangers — who lives in Brookswood — is 16 and entering Grade 11 at Holy Cross. Playing with a higher
age group is nothing new for Jackson who has played for the senior Bobcats since Grade 8. The six-foot-two Jackson usually plays post for Brookswood and power forward when on provincial teams. She was also on last summer’s U15 provincial team which won bronze at nationals. Jackson said playing for Brookswood has elevated her game. “When I first started playing for (coach) Brown, I was very inconsistent, but I think over the past year and a bit, I have worked on my consistency and I think my skills have definitely developed and I have become more of a player.” It can be a challenge, especially playing such a physical position like the post, where she is matched up against older players with more size and experience. “It is difficult at times, but I just try to step up to the plate,” Jackson said. “I don’t walk in there with a Grade 9 mentality; I go in there thinking (she) and I are no different.” Brown said playing at an elite event like this — against the top players from around the country — will be great in Jackson’s development.
Gary AHUJA/Langley Times
Sydney Williams (above left) and Tayla Jackson, and Amy Sprangers (below with ball) represented Team BC at the U17 basketball championships, helping win bronze. “Tayla is quite a good athlete for a kid her size,” he said. “She has got the skills, but it is a learning experience. “This will be another great experience for her.” Jackson said she learned a lot from her experience last summer. After the long high school season and then playing with Team BC, by the time August rolled around and nationals approached, she had already peaked and had nothing left in the tank. This time, she was more prepared. Sprangers, who turned 16 the day after winning bronze, said she went into the tryouts content to do
her best and see if she landed a roster spot. “The whole year, every time I was in the gym, I would be practising for this tryout, so I was happy when I made it,” she said. “It is a cool feeling that you have been picked as one of the best players in B.C. “It is a pretty empowering feeling.” Sprangers plays post and on the perimeter, depending on what the team needs. She was also part of Team BC’s U15 squad last summer which won bronze. Now that nationals are over, the trio will step up their preparation for the approaching high school season.

Chelsey Salli, who both swims and coaches with the Langley Flippers, helped the swim club to a third place finish at the Fraser Valley regional championships Aug. 3 to 5 at Abbotsford’s Centennial Pool. The club has swimmers competing this week in Nanaimo at the summer provincial championships.
Jr. Blaze doused at provincials After opening the provincial championships with a convincing 6-0 victory, the Langley Junior Blaze offence cooled off, scoring just a single run over their final two games. Not surprisingly, the U16 baseball team lost both games and failed to advance to the playoff round at the 2012 B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League over the weekend at Surrey’s Whalley Stadium. The Blaze entered the eightteam provincials as the top seed after a dominating regular season which saw them go 36-8 and finish six games ahead of second place. And in the opener on Aug. 8, Langley defeated the Nanaimo Jr. Pirates 6-0.
But the Vancouver Jr. Cannons won 5-0 over Langley on the second day and then needing a victory to advance to the semifinals, the Blaze lost 3-1 to the Victoria Jr. Mariners. The Mariners went on to capture the provincial banner with a 7-2 victory over the Abbotsford Jr. Cardinals 7-2 on Sunday. ••••• After overcoming a shaky start during pool play, Team BC rallied to make the gold medal game at the U17 Baseball Canada Cup. But the team fell short in the championship, losing 9-8 to Ontario in the finals of the event, held Aug. 8 to 13 in London, Ont.

Team BC had four members of the Langley Blaze on its roster. Tyler O’Neill led Team BC with a .500 batting average, including a tournament high three home runs. He finished with seven extra base hits and crossed home plate nine times. O’Neill drove in 11 runs. Mitchell Robinson hit .333 over the nine games and also drove in six runs. Preston Kokotailo saw limited action, suiting up in four games and managing one hit. Pitcher Liam Stroud made two appearances, once as a starter and once in relief. He finished 1-1. Team BC was 4-5 at the tournament.

CAR CARE & REPAIR ERIC CLAPTON FERRARI For a Ferrari enthusiast and great musician like Eric Clapton a one-off car just had to be produced. Designed by the Centro Stile Ferrari in collaboration with Pininfarina and the engineers from Maranello, the SP12 EC was created as homage to Clapton's career and his long lasting experience as a Ferrari owner. His story is told in the latest edition of Ferrari Magazine. The world-famous guitar player has been attached to one particular Ferrari model: the 512 BB, of which he has owned three over the years. So his desire was to drive a car inspired by this model, with influences from the multi-award winning 458 Italia. Exclusively in the latest issue of the Ferrari Official Magazine, Eric Clapton talks about his passion and how the idea of a one-off car was born. Meticulous attention in
terms of style and technology was paid to the proportions and architecture of the SP12 EC (Eric Clapton) - which is part of Ferrari's One-Off Program - making this exceptional car even more significant. Just like music is created, applying the right notes in the right places to build a musical score, so was the creative process behind the SP12 EC.
