Trial in ’09 double murder under way

16 Avenue proposal ‘treated as garbage,’ says Fox

MoNique taMMiNGa Times Reporter

Natasha JoNes Times Reporter

Discussion on one of the most pressing items on the agenda for Langley Township’s series of meetings on Monday disintegrated when council members, after almost 10 hours of meetings, sniped at each other, interrupted each other, and questioned the wording, rather than the meat, of Councillor Charlie Fox’s motion. The intent of the motion was explore ways to improve traffic safety along 16 Avenue. The motion was placed on the agenda several days before a Surrey couple, both 76, were killed last Thursday when their vehicle Charlie struck a dump truck Fox head-on. The motion said that when the new Port Mann Bridge becomes fully operational and tolls are in place, more drivers will use 16 Avenue and “will bring with it greater cause for safety and access concerns.” Noting an increase in traffic accidents that have taken lives and damaged property, Fox said that the Township should approach Surrey and the Ministry of Transportation to seek a direct access from 16 Avenue to Highway 99. The motion also calls for staff to prepare a report, with TransLink engineers, on improving traffic flow and how it impacts residents, the possible use of a ‘green wave” in which future traffic lights are synchronized, and roundabouts. Councillors added their own suggestions, while questioning the wording.

Entertaining crowds at the annual Country Celebration in Campbell Valey Park on Sunday, Sept. 16, proved to be a tall order.

At 3:30 a.m. on March 19, 2009, HiKnoll Park area resident Gerald Peterson and his wife were awakened by the noise of several gunshots. With his dog barking, Peterson looked out the window to see a car pull out of the park’s parking lot. Then he and his wife went back to bed. Two hours later, when Peterson’s two sons arrived at his home to travel to work together, their father sent them to the park to see if something had happened overnight. At 5:45 a.m. he arrived at the park in his vehicle to see the body of Marc Bontkes, lying face up beside a mini van. His sons had already called 911. Peterson testified at the double murder trial of Robert David Bradshaw in New Westminster’s B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday. Bradshaw is accused of firing the shots that killed Bontkes, 33. He is also charged in the murder of 36-year-old Laura Lynn Lamoureux, five days earlier. Lead forensic identification investigator Sgt. Jeff Wong testified on Wednesday that he could see that Bontkes had been shot in the face and other parts of his body. Shell casings were found around the body, as was a baggy, which Wong believes contained drugs. Bradshaw is accused of planning Bontkes’ murder, along with 33-yearold Roy Michael Thielen, who is already serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 20 years for both murders. Crown is expected to show that the same gun was used in both murders. Crown will also claim that Langley resident Michelle Motola, 21, dropped Bradshaw and Thielen off at Hi-Knoll Park and then went to get Bontkes by convincing him to come and help her with a drug deal. Crown intends to prove that once Bontkes arrived at the park he was shot and killed just after stepping out of the van.

WorkSafe acts on inquest list Natasha JoNes Times Reporter

WorkSafe BC is sending documents to 5,200 employers in the agriculture industry to educate them about high-risk activities and the hazards of working in closed spaces. The documents are the direct result of a coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation that followed the inquest into the deaths of three workers on a mushroom farm in south Langley on Sept. 8, 2008. A coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inquest ruled that Ut Van Tran, 35, Han Duc Pham, 47, and 55-yearold Jimmy Chi Wai Chan died accidentally when they were overcome by toxic fumes coming from a pipe in a pump house at A-1 Mushroom Substratum Farm, 23751 16 Ave. Two other farm workers survived by suffered brain damage. Four principals of the company pleaded guilty to 10 of 29 charges. They were fined $350,000. WorkSafe said that the ability of the agency and the Farm and Ranch Safety and Health Association (FARSHA) to educate employers and help them to comply with regulations â&#x20AC;&#x153;will be greatly enhanced.â&#x20AC;? WorkSafe also plans to conduct regular inspections of high-risk agricultural operations, and hire more agricultural

Highly-charged gathering Saturday FraNk Bucholtz Times Reporter

Langley Events Centre will host the BC Conservative Party annual general meeting on Saturday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to be a highly-charged event. The party, which laboured in the political wilderness for years, gained a lot of traction after former Delta MP John Cummins became leader in May, 2011, shooting up to as high as 20 per cent in opinion polls. But success seems to have bred discontent among some party members, who want to challenge Cumminsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leadership. They are running as a slate for party executive positions. The slate is headed by Ben Besler of Chilliwack, who ran for the party in Chilliwack in the 2009 provincial election, when it was led by Wilf Hanni. A rival slate which is loyal to the leader, headed by director-at-large Al Siebring, who has been vocal in his sup-

port of Cummins in recent weeks, was announced Tuesday night. Siebring announced some time ago that he was running for party president, but the slate, known as The A Team, came together in response to the anti-Cummins John Cummins slate, known as the Friends of the BC Conservative Party. Langley resident Linda Bellamy is part of the A Team slate, seeking the secretary position. Cummins is also a Langley resident. Members of the party are voting on whether his leadership should be reviewed, with ballots sent to all BC Conservative members. Results will be announced on Saturday at the AGM. The party is hosting a meet and greet with Cummins on Friday night at the banquet room in the Events Centre from

6:30 to 9 p.m., and people interested in finding out more about it are welcome to drop by. Cummins will be on hand to talk to people, and there will also be a speech by Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman, a former Langley Township councillor. Entertainment is also planned. Those who drop by may also wish to take in a Cops for Cancer charity hockey game, taking place in the arena at LEC. It begins at 7 p.m., with admission by donation. An RCMP team is taking on a team from Canada Border Services Agency. On Saturday morning, the AGM begins with closed-door sessions. Cummins will speak at 12:30 p.m., and in the afternoon there will be several break-out sessions on preparing for the upcoming provincial election. Balloting on whether there should be a leadership review will conclude Saturday morning, with the results announced in the afternoon. The results of the hardfought battles for executive positions will also be announced Saturday afternoon.

Border runner arrested with drugs A tip from the U.S. Border Patrol led Langley RCMP to more than a million dollars worth of ecstasy over the weekend. Shortly before 9 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 15,Â police received information about a suspicious man hiding in the ditch in the 27200 block of 0 Avenue, just north of the border. The man was located with the help of air services and a police dog. He attempted to flee. However, the dog and handler were able to track him, and the suspect was taken into custody. He was in possession of two large duffel bags containing 20 individually wrapped packages of a substance believed to be MDMA (ecstasy). The narcotics weighed more than 20 kg and have a street value of over $1 million. Samuel Lopez-Rios, 30, of Mexico, has been charged with one count each of trafficking in a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking. He has been remanded in custody and will appear in court on Sept. 27. Langley RCMP credit a close working relationship with their partners in the U.S. Border Service for the arrest and seizure.

Truck Driver SoughT Langley RCMP is seeking public assistance in locating Mario Guy Martel, wanted on outstanding warrants for dangerous driving causing bodily harm and fail to stop at the scene of an accident. They relate to a collision on Aug. 3, 2007 in the 21000 block of 77A Avenue. An eastbound motorcycle collided with a westbound vehicle (Toyota Supra) which was being towed by another vehicle that left the scene. The driver of the motorcycle sustained fractures to both his ribs and leg. He was found in the ditch on the south side of the road. A dark colour truck was seen leaving the scene immediately following the collision. The Supra came to rest in the ditch after the collision with the motorcycle. It is believed the individual steering the Supra was unable to control the vehicle when the tow vehicle drove at increasing speeds. Martel, 66, was the driver of the tow vehicle and failed to attend his last court date. He is believed to be living in the 100 Mile House/Williams Lake area.

PRESENTS Condo buyers! Help for delays & other problems

project wouldn’t actually be finished by the estimated September, 2009 completion date set out in the disclosure statement. But the developer never filed an amended disclosure statement to reflect this change. When she signed, the buyer was informally aware that completion of her unit would likely be delayed until a couple of months past the agreed completion date. But the unit didn’t actually become ready for occupancy until late January of 2010. (In the meantime, the purchase contract was amended to reflect a January 27, 2010 closing date for the unit, as allowed under the contract.) The buyer refused to proceed with the purchase. So the developer sued for the full deposit, and the buyer sought recovery of the $284,000 deposit already paid. The BC Court of Appeal decided that REDMA required the developer to file and deliver an amendment immediately once it knew the disclosure statement was wrong as to a material fact (here, the completion date). Because the developer didn’t do this, it didn’t comply with the consumer protection law, and the purchase contract was unenforceable. The buyer got her deposit back, with interest.. Of course, any particular case will depend on its own unique facts. But if you’re faced with problems involving the purchase of a new condo, whether construction related or otherwise, consider reviewing your options with a trusted legal adviser.

Bradshaw is charged with two counts of first degree murder in connection to the deaths of both Bontkes and Lamoureux. The trial marks the first time that details about the two murders have been released. There was a ban on any information about the murders until Bradshaw, the final person to be tried, went to trial. Thielen pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the Bontkes case, as well as in the related killing of Lamoureux. Motola, meanwhile, was sentenced last spring to six years in a federal prison for her part in

Bontkes’ killing. She was initially charged with one count each of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. After working with lawyers, she pleaded guilty to manslaughter in early February. Motola was not charged in connection with Lamoureux’s murder. Bontkes founded Designmarc Homes, in Langley. He is the son of prominent Langley developer Robert Bontkes of Benchmark Group of Properties. Bontkes wasn’t known to police, but his family later said that he had been involved with hard drugs at the time of his murder. He left behind a wife and a young son.

abouts, and is well designed to accommodate trucks. Councillor Bob Long suggested that creating a direct access to Highway 99 would only increase traffic on 16 Avenue, while Councillor Grant Ward asked for a TransLink presentation to see what its plans are, and Councillor David Davis asked for staff to examine the issues before contacting Surrey. The final motion approved by council, with Fox and Councillor Michelle Sparrow opposed, was for staff to examine safety issues, but not in consultation with other agencies such as the City of Surrey, the MoT and ICBC.

First details of murders emerge from PAGE 1

Interested in buying a condo? Many condo developers start marketing their units long before construction even starts. It’s not uncommon for construction to be delayed and for the unit not to be ready on the expected date. The purchase contract usually anticipates this happening and allows the developer to delay the completion date upon notice to the buyer. But does that leave the buyer – who may be faced with no place to move into, or a dramatically changed condo market – with no recourse or protection? Not necessarily. Consider this recent BC appeal court decision which looked at the Real Estate Development Marketing Act (“REDMA”) and helped one buyer. REDMA is consumer protection legislation for buyers of “development units” such as condos, subdivision lots and timeshares. A developer who wants to market condos before they’re built has to file a “disclosure statement” with the Superintendent of Real Estate and deliver this disclosure statement, and any subsequent amendments, to a buyer by a specified time. One of the required statements in the disclosure statement is the estimated project completion date. If there’s a misrepresentation in the disclosure statement that the developer becomes aware of, the developer has to prepare an amendment or a new disclosure statement, which also must be filed with the Superintendent and delivered to the buyer. In the recent case, the buyer signed a contract for an expensive luxury Vancouver condo unit to complete in August, 2007. The $1,136,000-plus deposit was to be paid in five installments, and she paid the first two installments totalling $284,000. She was given copies of the May, 2006 disclosure statement and the only amendment to it. The developer, however, knew well before the buyer signed the contract that the

Fox was annoyed. “I can’t believe that my motions is being treated as garbage,” he said. “I’m really frustrated.” Still fuming, he reminded council that suggestions he raised five years ago for improving 16 Avenue were turned down. “You don’t live on the street,” said Fox, whose home is close to 16 Avenue. “You don’t see the accidents.” Fox said that the recent double fatality catapulted the issue to headline news, but for people who live in the

area or try to access 16 Avenue, “it’s an ongoing issue.” Fox noted that between 200 Street and 272 Street, there are only two spots where police can operate speed traps or safety checks for westbound traffic. He said that 16 Avenue is sometimes so congested that traffic at the 248 Street fourway stop is backed up for more than a mile. Councillor Kim Richter suggested that 16 Avenue should be modeled after Guide Meridian in Washington. It runs from the Aldergrove/Lynden border crossing. It has been widened to four lanes, has a series of round-

Langley RCMP issue ‘ransomware’ warning to local computer users A computer scam meant to scare people into giving up their money has hit Langley. Langley RCMP are warning computer users to be careful of a new scam where people receive a pop-up message warning that their computer has been associated with child pornography or illegal music downloading causing the computer to lock up. These warning messages, which claim to come from the RCMP or other Cana-

dian government agencies, tell recipients to pay $100 via Ukash (a payment service provider) so their computers can be “unlocked.” The payment does not deliver on its promise. These types of messages, known as ransomware, are scams designed to create shock and anxiety so that victims respond by sending money quickly. If you receive one of these messages, please be aware that:

• Sending money will not fix your computer – it will remain locked. • Neither the RCMP nor any other Canadian government agency would hijack computers in order to obtain money. The ransomware presence is hard evidence that your computer has been infected by malicious software (malware) that must be dealt with. • The recommended way to regain access to your

computer is to seek the help of a computer technician who can remove the malware. • To protect against cyber attacks, you must regularly update your software. You should have up-to-date antivirus, spyware and firewall protection. • For additional information, visit the the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre at www. antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.

The new park and ride at 86 Avenue and 202 Street, set to open in December, will be a pay lot. Free parking will end at TransLink park-and-ride lots as the authority moves to pull in more cash. Most lots already charged for parking, but the shift to all pay parking will come as a shock to motorists who use the 10 free lots, such as the South Surrey park-and-ride and the Walnut Grove lot near Colossus. It may also mean users of the new 650-space Carvolth park-and-ride in Langley will also have to shell out to park there to take the new Highway 1 Rapid Bus. Provincial government officials said just last week there was no plan to charge motorists there, but added it would be TransLink’s decision after Victoria hands over the nearly finished park-and-ride.

A minimum of $2 a day will be charged, according to TransLink’s new policy. TransLink projects it will raise $2.2 million by charging at the free lots and raising the prices at some of the pay lots. “Prices will vary depending on the local markets,” TransLink vice-president Bob Paddon said Monday. “It will bring us much needed revenues.” TransLink’s service plan, released Monday, indicates that Rapid Bus service that was to be offered every 10 minutes all day over the Port Mann would only run that often during peak hours. It will only run every 30 minutes at off-peak times, according to the plan. And it will only go from Langley to Braid Station — the full run to Lougheed Station is on hold. Transportation Minister Mary Polak told Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce Tuesday that the run to Braid is temporary, until all work on the Highway 1 project is complete. Buses will then run to Lougheed Station. She said the

bus run between Langley and SkyTrain will take 23 minutes. Meanwhile, Langley Township council voted unanimously to ask the transportation authority to install at least 10 bicycle lockers at the new park and ride, also known as the Langley Transit Exchange. Council backed Councillor Charlie Fox’s motion, which called for TransLink to install a minimum of 10 lockers where cyclists can store their bikes before they ride the Rapid Bus to Braid and beyond. Fox noted that the lockers, which he would like to see located in a well-lit and secure area of the park and ride, complements TransLink’s desire to see people access the transit exchange in a “green” way. Councillor David Davis suggested that 10 lockers probably wouldn’t be enough. “We should have them all over the place,” he said. — with files from Natasha Jones and Frank Bucholtz, Times reporters

Does the City have its head in the clouds when it comes to expanding its anti-smoking bylaw? At least one council member seems to think so. Gayle Martin told her fellow councillors at their Sept. 10 meeting that she was left shaking her head at the notion the City needs more stringent non-smoking rules than it currently has in place, and argued that enforcing them would be difficult at best. A report before council — which came in response to a request from the Heart and Stroke Foundation that the City strengthen its anti-smoking bylaws — looked at the implications of expanding so-called buffer zones and banning smoking at all public events as well as in parks, on playgrounds and on beaches and inside enclosed transit shelters and shelters where people wait for taxis and other vehicles for hire. According to the report, most Lower Mainland communities that have buffer zones in place, require smokers to stand between six and 7.5 metres from doors, windows and air intakes. The City of Langley’s buffer zone is just three metres. The reason for that, Mayor Peter Fassbender reminded

Not good governance

All should help pay

angley Township council may have good reason to expand Langley Events Centre. It is a popular destination and attracts a lot of people from outside the community. It is most definitely an important economic generator for Langley. However, the method by which council chose to expand the centre demonstrated a lack of transparency and accountability to taxpayers. Keeping the project secret for six weeks after a contract was awarded, with work already underway, is completely unacceptable and flies in the face of good municipal governance. A detailed explanation from Mayor Jack Froese about how the project came about, and a letter from Councillor Grant Ward (The Times, Sept. 18), adding other details, has provided additional information. It is hard to believe that of nine members of council, no one pushed to have the project made public as soon as the contract was awarded on July 23. What is particularly galling is that a number of people tried to find out why the back parking lot at the Events Centre was torn up and construction was underway. This was particularly noticeable during the International Festival in late August, which coincided with a large Volkswagen show on the north parking lot. Attendees had to park as far as a mile away from the centre, as there was little parking available — yet no one could explain what work was underway. Letter writer Patricia O’Grady (page 9) tried to find out what was going on, and was denied any information. Township council is elected to manage taxpayers’ money, and to let taxpayers know in a transparent fashion how that money is spent. The fact that this expansion was not included in neither the 2012 budget, nor the five-year financial plan, is also disturbing. This type of ad hoc spending, while it will happen on occasion, should be exceptionally rare. It is much different from the initial Events Centre spending which Ward referred to, because in that case, provincial money was on the table. Thus far, no partners have indicated they are contributing anything to this $7.725 million project. While there is no indication that this decision was made inappropriately, and there is a budget category in 2013 (even though the money is being spent this year) that can be drawn on, this is not the proper way to manage Township business. This should not happen again.

t’s not quite BOGO and there are no Air Miles attached, but there are plenty of other incentives for signing up with the province’s new Port Mann Bridge toll program. There’s a great deal of sense in trying to get people to get one of those stickers that can automatically deduct payment and so far the province seems to think the reduction is affordable, at least for one (election) year. But the deal is a bit of a sham and it won’t silence critics because it doesn’t address an underlying unfairness, which is that the Port Mann is part of a regional — even provincial — transportation network we all use and from which we all benefit. Thus, everyone in Metro Vancouver should pay. Whether that means slapping token tolls of $1 per trip on every bridge, tunnel and thoroughfare, or adding a $20 flat fee to property taxes, it hardly matters. The principle is everyone should share in the cost of an efficient transportation system. The current system of only charging people who use the new Port Mann — placing a disproportionate burden on people who live south of the Fraser River — is unfair given the fact that many people who won’t use the bridge will still get to drive on the new freeway. Tri-City residents might balk at the suggestion that they should pay a toll or higher taxes to help pay for the new Port Mann but fairer road pricing would benefit everyone, especially if the fee generates more cash for other transportation improvements. We are getting the Evergreen Line, a regional rapid transit system that will largely benefit Port Moody and Coquitlam residents, yet everyone will be paying through provincial, federal or regional taxes and fares. While we don’t sympathize with south-of-Fraser folks who would refuse tolls and yet benefit from cheaper housing, we do argue for a fairer road pricing system for all of Metro Vancouver. —Tri-City News The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Langley Times

Many make Cruise-In a success Editor: As we look back at another successful Langley Good Times Cruise-In, the executive would like to thank all the participants for their input and efforts. We need all of them. We need volunteers for the hard work of the show day, and we need other volunteers to accomplish all the behind the scenes jobs that go unnoticed, unless they are not done. We need the co-operation of the City, the community and the local businesses to put up with and make the best of the disruptions caused by closing down the City for a day, by jamming more cars and people into it than it was designed for. We need sponsors who can see the value of assisting our show, we need the vendors who bring their wares to the marketplace to make it more attractive, we need the 100,000-plus spectators to come, and we need the car owners to bring it all together. We would like to start by thanking the City of Langley and Mayor Peter Fassbender for inviting us back each year to hold this event, and he has already invited us back in 2013. This City has, for as long as I recall, been a car-crazy city and is the ideal place for such a show. The businesses in the City also have supported us despite the disruption of business that we cause. We hope that the exposure to the huge crowds of people can somehow offset the one day of inconvenience. The major sponsors who contribute cash, real estate to hold the show, incredible goods that we can raffle off and make a few people incredibly happy, or goods and services that we need to run the show, sometimes with too little recognition, are the next to be thanked. We are honoured to be assisted by so many great companies and their staff.

Of course there is also the press who go out of their way to advertise and promote the show — bravo. The Times has done a bang-up job of covering the show and producing an exceptional show special insert. Without the newspaper doing that, we would have a bunch of car owners sitting next to their cars. GM brings an incredible display of current autos and technology, and Lordco gathers and donates all the tools and things that make up the Dream Garage. They are major sponsors upon whom we depend. We also thank the Cascades Casino who, much to the detriment of their own business, shut down their enormous front parking lot to allow us use of it for our marketplace for the day. They round out the really big sponsors. There are many other sponsors and we encourage everybody to check the show special news insert and our website to see who they are. Please consider supporting them as they have supported Cruise-In. The vendors take a lot of time and energy to bring their business to our marketplace and display it for the crowds to see. We have an incredible range of goods and services displayed all day with great enthusiasm. We have food vendors who bring us hamburgers and hot dogs and coffee and cold drinks to keep us going all day. These groups are all service groups who donate all of their profits to charitable causes except for one, In N Out Burger, which is a regular business based in the U.S.A. However, we want everybody to know that they donate not just the profits; they donate all the revenue from the show. They send us a cash donation, they pay all their own expenses and they pay their own employees for the trip. They

have to cover the signs on their truck as they travel, as they have such popularity throughout the U.S.A. And why do they come here? They do it because they believe in the charitable nature of our show, and the incredible reception they get from the huge crowds. The volunteers range all the way from our webmaster to our show front people who make it all come together. It is the charitable spirit of the Langley CruiseIn that makes it worthwhile to most of these people and we hope that keeps it going for many years to come. We know of several people who chose to spend well over 24 hours at the show overnight to help set up and to help break down and clean up. Volunteers do everything from parking cars and picking up garbage to collecting money and doing the books. Thank you to all those volunteers, you are all heroes to our cause. Finally, we come to the car owners who bring their cars to the show for display. These people have poured untold thousands of dollars into their cars. Often, these cars are their pride and joy, sometimes the favourite possession in their life, and they bring them out to show everybody. Thank you to all the car owners for the pride and love that keep these relics and treasures alive, and for allowing us to view them. Your cars are what make the show awesome. With the thank yous said, we would like to invite all of you to mark Sept. 7, 2013 on your calendar as the date for next year’s show. Please consider coming to our show to support the efforts of the hundreds of people involved, and to assist in raising money for often overlooked local charities. They are the real reason why we do it. See you next year. Langley Cruise-In executive

Many infractions

Editor: As a longtime resident of Langley, I have seen numerous serious and fatal accidents. I see serious driving infractions every time I drive 16 Avenue. The most dangerous is passing across a double solid white line, often at intersections with cross streets. But I also see numerous drivers fail to use turn signals, tailgate, speed excessively, run stop signs and traffic lights. I believe most of this is a result of impatience, and a general lack of courtesy. There needs to be a serious crackdown on all these infractions — not just excessive speed. Tony Milbradt, Langley

Volunteers thanked Editor: A big thank you to the large group of enthusiastic, cheerful volunteers at Langley City’s Terry Fox Run. It is great that they keep this run going year after year, and help keep Terry’s dream alive. Tom Barichello, Langley

donation helps

Editor: We would like to thank Value Village for donating 200 good quality scarves and 75 pairs of mittens for HIV-positive youth in Romania. These are being shipped to the Joshua Project, a small Christian organization that offers help, support and counselling to young Romanians. They will form part of a Christmas stocking provided to some of these youth, who struggle every day with their disease, poverty and social isolation. For some, this will be their only Christmas gift. Brian and Carlene Pasman, Langley

Aldergrove shafted due to secretive council decision Editor: Re: “Secretive spending at Events Centre smells,” (The Times, Sept. 13). This is completely unacceptable. Shame on you, Langley Township council. My husband and I have been watching closely what happens with the Aldergrove Pool. We even went to one of the last council meetings to show our support. Not once did we hear anything about this Events Centre expansion. We took our kids to tennis lessons in the summer

and saw the construction in the parking lot. We Googled and searched to see if we could find out what was going on because we hadn’t seen or heard anything about what was happening. I am completely shocked and appalled that this can happen. They have already started construction, while the pool in Aldergrove has been stalled for 10 years. The community is suffering because of it, We have been

desperate in Aldergrove for our pool and this is what council is focusing on. They should all be thrown out of office. We need this stopped and the focus put back on the priority of a community in desperate need for a pool and recreation center for the youth’s sake. You wonder why crime is high in Aldergrove. I’ll tell you why — it’s because the youth have nowhere to go and no transit to get them there. It’s not rocket science.

This is so unbelievable and it makes me so angry. How dare the council approve this? Had it been brought to the public’s attention and voted on, I strongly believe the Aldergrove Pool could have started construction yesterday before this joke of an expansion. This has been put through so fast that it will no doubt have major oversight issues. Patricia O’Grady, Aldergrove

Council urged to defeat Fox’s motion

Editor: I am writing regarding Councillor Charlie Fox’s notice of motion on traffic options for 16 Avenue. I have been an outspoken advocate for traffic mitigation and calming on 16 Avenue for some time now, as a result of cars ending up in my front yard twice in the last 10 months. I would encourage members of council to oppose Fox’s motion as it stands, unless he removes the section that states: “Therefore be it resolved that staff, by the way of a letter to the City of Surrey and the Ministry of Transportation, request a direct access northbound from 16 Avenue to Highway 99.” I believe that this access will

further increase traffic and accidents on 16 Avenue and run contrary to the safety and security of Langley residents. Furthermore, this letter would, by the definition of the motion, be sent before there is a report back from staff examining the problem of increased traffic accidents on 16 Avenue. This will result in an irrevocable hamstringing of the Township’s ability to make future decisions regarding 16 Avenue. Through this motion, Fox is forcing council’s hand before the problem is fully examined. Clever, as far as politics go, but not in the best interest of the community. It is counterintuitive that by increasing the traffic on 16 Ave-

nue, the risk to life and limb will be reduced. Council should consider moving trucks back to designated highways and using traffic calming methods that allow the people who live along 16 Avenue access to their own homes. I have come from North Delta and have seen firsthand the detrimental effects on a community carved up by high traffic corridors. Council should learn from Delta’s mistakes and keep the Township strong and community based. Teresa Townsley, Langley Editor’s note — An amended version of the motion passed. See story, page 1.

We have no more money for TransLink CITY OF LANGLEY “The Place to Be!”

NOTICE OF TAX SALE In accordance with the requirements of the “Local Government Act”, the following parcels of real property will be sold for taxes on Monday, September 24, 2012 at 10:00 A.M. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 20399 Douglas Crescent, Langley, B.C., unless the delinquent taxes now owing, plus interest, are sooner paid.

Editor: TransLink needs to give its collective head a shake. There is no money. What do they not understand about no? I have no more money. I have no way of increasing the amount of money I need to live on. I’m a taxpayer — I pay taxes on everything I use. If TransLink had the balls to implement turnstiles when SkyTrain was introduced, we would not be in this position. They have been in denial for years and now they want those of us who don’t use the system because it doesn’t ser-

vice us, to make it pay. I pay TransLink tax on gas, I pay TransLink tax on Hydro, I pay for TransLink in my property taxes, and I pay the ethereal carbon tax (who knows where that money goes), in addition to other taxes that are hidden in our day-to-day transactions. Now I am to pay a tax for having ‘A Bridge Too Far.’ Start by making those who use it pay for it. That should be an eye-opener. Let those who use the B-Line along Broadway pay for the fiveminute service and the super service of SkyTrain from

An idea for speed enforcement on 16 Ave.

NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS: The purchaser must pay by certified cheque, direct debit or cash and will be allowed one hour to secure payment. If a purchaser fails to pay the price, the collector will promptly again offer the property for sale. Please note the purchasers will NOT have the right to receive title possession until one year following the date of the sale. During this period the registered owner of the property or his/her agent has the right to redeem the property from the tax sale, thus cancelling the tax sale. The purchaser will then be entitled to receive a refund of the amount paid plus interest at the rate set by the Province of British Columbia. Any property not redeemed, will be subject to tax under the Property Purchase Tax Act on the fair market value of the property. Information is available at the City Hall Finance Department.

downtown to Coquitlam or Richmond. It does me a world of good out here in Aldergrove, yet I pay for it. Look at Golden Ears. No one wants to use it, so what do they want to do — up the toll? Surrey and Langley are growing. We need services. Stop giving excellent service to Vancouver proper, just give them good service. And start giving good service to those of us who live south of the Fraser, and are subsidizing all the expansion north of the Fraser. D. Atkinson, Langley

Editor: Re: The call for action on 16 Avenue, after yet more fatalities. Many years ago I put forth to the Township that the immediate answer to speed conformity on 16 Avenue was a SPECS radar system, as used in many parts of Europe. It works like this. A plate reading camera is place at 200 Street, and another is located at 272 Street. If you travel that stretch of road within a preset time, you automatically get a ticket by mail, as you exceeded the average speed of 60 km/h. It would lead to instant conformity and be fully automatic. I wish the Township would have explored this option, instead of a few reader boards that no one takes any notice of. J.

Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

For most students at Walnut Grove Secondary, rushing from class to class is as easy as breathing. For Grade 10 student Graham Koshman neither walking nor breathing comes easily. Koshman has severe Beckers muscular dystrophy — a condition that causes his muscles to be very weak, making something as simple as putting on a T-shirt, a monumental task. Making his way through the hallways of Langley’s most populated school can be a challenge for this 15-year-old honour roll student, but he wants everyone to know he’s up for it. This positive attitude and determination to spread awareness about muscular dystrophy has landed him some accolades lately. Firstly with being chosen as the ambassador for this Saturday’s Safeway Muscular Dystrophy Walk in Bear Creek Park in Surrey and secondly as the recipient of a Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee medal which he will receive at a dinner held in October. At the age of six, Graham’s parents took him to his doctor after he complained of pain after every skating lesson. That led to an MRI scan that nearly cost him his life

WGSS Gr. 10 student Graham Koshman is the ambassador for the muscular dystrophy walk at Bear Creek Park on Saturday. when the anesthetic caused his muscles to stop working. Rushed to Children’s Hospital after urinating blood and unable to move on his own, Koshman was seen by numerous specialists. It was a neuromuscular specialist who diagnosed him with having severe Beckers — a condition that affects one in every 3,500 to 5,000 boys. “There are over 100 different

TIME FOR A CHANGE?

ambassador at MD walk neuromuscular diseases and I got severe Beckers, but it doesn’t feel severe to me,” said Koshman while sitting in his backyard last week. It’s a condition that so many people know so little about. “Not many people know about muscular dystrophy so that’s why I’m always willing to come forward to talk about it and spread awareness,” said Koshman. Showing an amazing amount of bravery, Koshman made presentation to his classmates in Grades 4, 7 and 8, describing how muscular dystrophy affects him and how best to deal with someone with a disability. “I let them know to be careful around me in the hallways,” he said. But really what Koshman wants is to be treated like everyone else. “Support me but don’t patronize me,” he said. “What I mean by that is people seem to want to congratulate me on every normal task I accomplish and sometimes that makes me feel like an outcast.” In Grade 8, Koshman was bullied very badly for walking a little slower than everyone else. It was a difficult time for his family but he said he’s learned to become his own advocate out of it. The bullying has stopped and students have

matured, he said. He belongs to the Humanitarian Club at WGSS and every second week he gives a short presentation about his goals to support muscular dystrophy research. He then passes around a jar and asks friends to donate any spare change. “I’ve collected $220 from

that,” he said proudly. His dream is to one day organize a walk at his school in support of muscular dystrophy. A Scout since he was five, and now a Venturer, his fellow troupmates are volunteering their time to set up at Saturday’s walk. Already raising nearly $1,000, a large donation from a distant friend left the whole Koshman family awestruck. In 2008, Koshman was part of the Sunshine Foundation’s

DreamLift day in Disneyland that sent 82 B.C. kids on a chartered flight for one special day at the happiest place in the world. The Langley Times went along for that inspiring trip, documenting the day for readers. Koshman was buddied up with an Orange County sherrif for the day, while taking in rides and fun. The two have stayed in touch via email since then. Koshman told him he was going to be the ambassador for the walk. After that a cheque for $500 arrived. “That really touched us, we were just in awe,” said Graham’s mom Barb. Koshman’s disease prevents his body from making enough dystrophin so he has no way to rebuild muscles. It makes his muscles weak and causes a lot of pain. There is no cure yet so most of the medication he takes is to manage the pain. He takes cup full of pills, three times a day. He also has to do a lot of stretching and swimming. The Koshmans have seen the benefits of the Walk funds, helping them pay for a stair lift for Graham, as well as bathroom renovations. The walk starts at 11 a.m.

Party time at Twin Rinks

Langley Twin Rinks is hosting several promotions and special events to mark their grand re-opening on Saturday (Sept. 22). The local hockey facility, located at 5700 Langley Bypass, re-opened its doors earlier this month after a twomonth renovation project. Saturday’s events, which run from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., feature a public skate, free skating lessons

with on-ice instructors, hot dogs, beverages and snacks, a kids play area with bouncy castle and sand castle buildings, face painting, facility tours, and games and contests. The activities are free with a donation of a non-perishable food item or a cash donation to the Langley Food Bank. ••••• Royal LePage Wolstencroft Realty showed off its new digs on Tues-

day morning while also donating $10,000 to Langley’s Ishtar Transitional Housing Society. The realty office held their official opening and ribbon cutting ceremony at 110 19925 Willowbrook Dr. Under the direction of general manager Bridget Houghton and the new ownership of Jamie Schreder, Dave Jarvis, Clayton Lindberg

and Leo Ronse, the office relocated to a more central location. The new office also provides more space to accommodate the team’s sales representatives. Phil Soper, the president and CEO of Royal LePage Canada, was in attendance. The $10,000 donation was raised through activities and events the Royal LePage Wolsencroft sales representatives are involved with.

FCM sounds alarm on failing infrastructure $1.7 billion to replace Township road, water, sewer systems A report issued by the Canadian Federation of Municipalities says that without immediate improvement and continuing maintenance, the cost of fixing or replacing roads, bridges and underground services across the country will “explode” over the next decade. Gleaning data from more than 120 municipalities representing 60 per cent of the Canadian population, the report concludes that more than half of municipal roads are falling apart. Township Councillor Bob Long, an FCM member, called the report card “a credible document by which we can measure what the infrastructure deficit really is — and it’s in the billions of dollars.” The cost, according to the FCM, is at least $20 billion. One in four roads is over-capacity, transporting far more people and goods than it was designed to handle, and one in four wastewater treatment plants needs to be upgraded or replaced to meet new federal standards introduced this summer.

The FCM said last week that two billion dollars in federal funding for local governments will lapse by March, 2014, and the new federal long-term infrastructure plan is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to put essential infrastructure back on solid ground.

Township’s infrastructure is in much better shape than the national average due to the relative age of the assets, Seifi said. “The report card shows that core municipal infrastructure like roads and water systems, assets critical to Canada’s health, safety and economic prosperity, are at risk,” said FCM president Karen Leibovici. “Investments in

Langley Township’s bill for repair and replacement will be astronomical. According to engineering director Ramin Seifi, the replacement value for all of the Township’s water, sewer, storm water, and transportation infrastructure is currently estimated at more than $1.7 billion, with transportation assets accounting for approximately half of that. The analysis currently under way has identified a funding shortfall of approximately $15 million, based on the most recent fiveyear capital budget, confirming that funding levels are not sufficient to ensure adequate maintenance and ultimate replacements of aging assets, he added. Seifi said that the Township is developing a comprehensive asset management program for infrastructure (water, sewer, storm water, roads and bridges). “The majority of the Township’s infrastructure has a fair condition rating, although a number of assets are approaching or have already exceeded their expected service lives,” he said.

of Clayton Heights herself, she has no shortage of things to say about the neighbourhood. “It offers everything,” she says, adding “I care about this community. ... I’m here to help. People can come to me directly.” Clayton Heights is a rapidly growing neighbourhood, and has amenities to match. Shopping, restaurants, recreation and schools are all within walking distance, and there is easy access to everywhere else in the Lower Mainland due to being near Fraser Highway and Highway 10.

“It’s a very family-friendly development,” says Castro. “You’re away from the hustle and bustle ... (and) Clayton offers so many things for families.” For the month of September, Woodbridge is offering an incentive package for new buyers. It includes two years of no maintenance fees and an upgraded appliance package that has a value of over $8,000. Homes start at $279,900.

‘Clayton offers so many things for families’

A taste of the European life at Woodbridge’s La Rue by Kerry Vital

Woodbridge Homes is bringing Parisian style to Surrey with La Rue, the street you want to live on. La Rue, which means “The Street” in French, is a collection of two- to four-bedroom townhomes in Surrey’s family-friendly Clayton Heights neighbourhood. “This is a fantastic way to get into the market,” says sales manager Andrea Castro. “This is going to be a legacy for years to come.” The homes at La Rue include nine-foot ceilings and chic wood laminate flooring throughout the main living areas, and your choice of two designer colour schemes. The kitchens are perfect for the home chef, with stainless-steel appliances, tons of counter space and a ceramic tile backsplash with mosaic stone accents. The cabinetry is chic and elegant, and is capped off with oil-rubbed bronze hardware as the cherry on the gorgeous kitchen sundae. The floorplans are spacious and inviting, with plenty of space for entertaining or just lounging around. Ranging from over 1,200 to more than 1,600 square feet, there truly is a home for everyone at La Rue.

“

This is a fantastic way to get into the market,” says sales manager Andrea Castro. The master ensuite is relaxing and quiet, with an oversized shower stall with a semi-frameless glass door or a separate tub and shower, depending on your floorplan. The Victorian-profile vanities with his-and-hers porcelain sinks in most plans are a convenient detail that could prevent squabbles, while the huge mirror with its polished edge makes the entire room look larger. Stone countertops are featured here too, complemented by the ceramic tile surrounds of the tub and shower. But the luxury isn’t confined to the master bathroom. The secondary bathrooms include Victorian-profile vanities of their own, as well as a soaker tub, polished chrome bath accessories and laminate countertops. “My favourite part is the beautiful foyer entrance,” Castro says.

loft livinG from $279,900*

move in now! | Just a few lofts available DISCOVER THE EXCLUSIVE LOFTS AT THE VILLAGE The lofts at The Summit House are pretty special. Ceilings as high as 22’ mean there is more than enough room to ‘swing a cat’, practice trampoline for the next summer Olympics, or master the art of aerial silks. The flexible loft space is a great bedroom, office, library, games room, man cave or whatever else you can think of. you can even shout lines of Shakespeare to your Romeo below. And naturally, a great kitchen and beautiful finishes are a given at Morgan Crossing. The best part? you’re still just a short walk away from over 60 shops & services in the dynamic Morgan Crossing village! village life means something a little different to everyone. To some it’s that the coffee barista not only knows your order but your name (and your dog’s name too). To other’s it’s that you can entertain on a whim without having to rely on the contents of your fridge. Or even the fact that your car stays parked more often than not with everything you need right at your doorstep. Whatever village life means to you, one thing is for sure – you will live!

A super sweet disguise for Purdy’s executive Gary ahuja Times Reporter

Kriston Dean knew just how dedicated the employees of Purdy’s Chocolates are, but she was still a little bit surprised when she learned the true level of their commitment. “The most interesting thing for me was seeing the dedication of the employees,” Dean said. “I expected that level of dedication, but I didn’t expect it to the degree that I witnessed it. “That is not something we train from a book or a binder. That was just from these individuals and how they work everyday.” Dean is the director of chocolate merchandising and marketing at Purdy’s Chocolates. The company, which is Western Canada’s largest and Canada’s second largest retailer of specialty chocolates, was approached by the TV show Undercover Boss Canada. The show, produced by Alliance Films, follows company executives as they leave their offices and go undercover on the ground floor and work sideby-side with other frontline workers. However, it was determined that Purdy’s owner Karen Flavelle was too recognizable,

so Dean was tapped to go undercover. The 36-year-old Dean, who lives in Willoughby with her husband Kelly, 10-year-old daughter Abby and eightyear-old son Memphis, was transformed into “rocker chick” Devon Norris, complete with wig and tattoos. Filming lasted seven days and took place at Purdy’s stores in Toronto and Edmonton, as well as in the factory kitchen in Vancouver. Dean said some of the challenges included “not speaking corporately and not answering questions or offering suggestions while she was in disguise.” “And the constant worry of being recognized or detected,” she said. “That weighs a lot on your psyche when you are in that situation.” It was in the kitchen where Dean saw just how much pride the employees take in making the perfect product, especially one of the ladies who was showing Dean the ropes. “She really took that personally and made sure that was what I delivered,” Dean said. “She really made me work to understand the importance of that.” There were a few tense moments when Dean nearly

Kriston Dean, Purdy’s Chocolates director of chocolate merchandising and marketing, went on the TV show Undercover Boss as Devon Norris (right), a 28-year-old “rocker chick.” The episode is set to air tonight (Thursday) at 9 p.m. on the W Network. blew her cover, and another time when she was responsible for halting production after she broke a machine. “I didn’t have a hard time reacting to the new name or being called (Devon), that actually came a lot easier than I thought it was going to,” she

said. “There were situations where you just fall into old habits and that is really hard to train yourself not to do when you are only in character for seven days.” Overall, the whole experience was very worthwhile. “From a business perspective,

there are definitely things we learned,” she said. “It is not all roses, for sure. There were opportunities for us to do things better, which we have implemented.” The episode airs tonight (Thursday) at 9 p.m. on the W Network.

Office goes paperless Miranda Gathercole Times Reporter

Going green is a trend many businesses are aspiring to, but a Fort Langley real estate office has taken it to a whole new level. Re/Max Little Oak Realty reopened as a completely paperless office last month. That means no stacks of paperwork stored away in boxes, no need for printers, and really, no need for an office. Everything is done electronically. “This one is designed for more modern-day realtors with technology in hand,” said David Rishel, general manager. “They don’t need to have office space to be able to do their work there. They’re mobile warriors and they

can better serve their clients wherever their clients happen to be all around the world.” Fort Langley joins another Re/ Max location in Surrey that has already gone the paperless route. The office is very relaxed and feels more like going into a coffee shop than a formal real estate setting, Rishel said. “It works well for the clients and it works well for the realtors,” he said. “We believe the realtors see the value in what we’re offering them. “They like it. It’s progressive, forward and there’s a bit of green value in it as well. It’s working out well.” For more information, visit Re/ Max Little Oak Realty online at www.remax-littleoakrealty.com.

Media tips for local businesses Former journalist George Affleck will share tips on how local businesses can better communicate with the media. He will speak at the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce’s Business Breakfast Club series on Sept. 26 at the abc Country Restaurant (19219 56 Ave.). The presentation will

focus on how to obtain good media relations and why media coverage can help a company gain credibility. “This event is more than a roundtable discussion,” Affleck said. “This seminar will provide real-life advice and training for those looking to increase their business’s public profile, all in a friendly and relaxed environ-

ment.” Affleck, a former CBC journalist, is now the CEO of Curve Communications and also a Vancouver councillor. Cost of the seminar is $20 for Chamber members and $25 for non-members. Breakfast is included. To register, call 604530-6656 or email info@langleychamber. com.

SNORING? Allergies SLEEP APNEA? As recommended by Dr. GiffordJones M. D. Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals.

To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

Just 2 capsules Bell Allergy Relief #24 brought relief. Belinda Wilfong, 41, Hillsboro, MO < For 20 years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days.

The large service area encompasses nearly 10,000 square feet, and will offer 16 state-of-the-art bays, including two oversized bays to accommodate the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Furthermore, a separate, dedicated area with the capacity to accommodate up to five cars at once will help streamline the process for new and pre-owned vehicle deliveries. The construction of Langley MercedesBenz represents a $9.5 million dollar investment that will create jobs and help boost the economy in the region. Plans for the new building were developed by Kasian Architecture, and the project is being managed by Ledcor. Construction is expected to be complete by next spring. “I’m delighted to welcome the Mercedes-Benz dealership to our community and to the Fraser Valley,” Fassbender said. “I believe that its location is ideal This is just one more economic boost for our community, and another step in making the City of Langley ‘The Place To Be’.”

Save time The new 10-lane bridge is twice the size of the old one, which will reduce congestion and save you time – you could cut your drive in half. Less idling also means less money spent at the gas pump, with some drivers saving up to a litre in fuel each day. A series of interchanges and overpass improvements provide faster, safer travel to and from the highway. With less congestion and more reliability, you’ll be able to better predict how long your drive will take and make sure you arrive on time.

the good.” Another one of the most memorable moments for Rogers was the closing ceremonies. All the athletes had to walk 20 minutes from the Olympic Village to the Olympic Stadium, then hover outside for half an hour until they were allowed in. “We were all released out of every corner of the stadium, like a pile of ants,” Rogers said. “I was with Dominique, one of my teammates, and I’m pretty sure our mouths were open the entire time. We could not believe it. “You don’t realize how big it is, and then you do realize how big it is. This is the Olympics, this is the closing ceremonies of the Olympics. Oh my goodness, those are the Spice Girls. We were just in awe of everything. It was incredible.” At one point in Rogers presentation to the young Langley gymnasts she held a Q&A session. Many asked her questions about the Olympics, but it wasn’t until about half way through that the audience brought Rogers to the real issue on their minds. “Can we give you a hug?” one girl shyly asked. At once Rogers was swarmed in a mob of five-yearolds, all cheering excitedly as they hugged her. Rogers was overcome as well, smiling and chatting to each girl. “It hasn’t really sunk in,” she said. “I really hope to set the bar high for other athletes, and other gymnasts in Canada because we’ve worked hard for this and we can pursue them and encourage them to keep going.” For those who aspire to go to the Olympics one day, Rogers says to “make sure you love the sport and stick with what you love and just have fun with it, because if you are not having fun with it, you’re always upset in the gym and there’s no point in pushing yourself. “You just have to make sure that you always feel the love in what you’re doing and your heart will follow.”

Spartans crack top 10 rankings The Trinity Western Spartans showed they will be a force to be reckoned with this season, stunning the country’s top-ranked team, the Victoria Vikes, 3-1. The Vikes were at TWU’s Rogers Field last Friday in Canada West men’s soccer action. But thanks to an impressive defensive effort, the Spartans shut down a strong Vikes attack. “I think it was a complete game for us,” said Spartans coach Pat Rohla. “I thought from front to back that was the best cohesion and linkage we’ve had in some time. “We showed them that we could play and emotionally the biggest thing for us is that we believe we can play with them and I thought we did that.” The result knocked Victoria from top spot while the Spartans went from unranked to eighth. Trinity Western led 2-0 at the half thanks to a pair of goals from Jason Wiens in the 24th and 25th minutes, respectively. Spencer Schmidt made it 3-0 in the 66th minute. “We were patient and we tried to stay poised and we tried to keep possession a little more,” Langley Thunder Rohla said. “Rather than just smashing the ball vs. Coquitlam Adanacs around the field, we just tried to keep the ball more, which kept them out of possession. “(But) I thought our four players in the midfield won the day. They were just spectacular.” Victoria’s Craig Gorman converted a penalty in the 89th minute to break Evan Lowther’s shutout bid. The Spartans keeper did make four saves. Trinity Western was back in action the next night, hosting the Fraser Valley Cascades. And the visitors led 1-0 at the half on a goal from Koby Bryne. But the Spartans came back on a pair of goals from Jarvis Ambaka to win 2-1 and improve to 3-0-1 in Canada West play. “Overall that game shows a lot of heart and a lot of courage and a little poise under pressure. That was a real gut-check second half,” Rohla said. “We knew it was going to be about will and it was going to be about battle and heart and courage. “We needed a game like this where we had to come back from a little adversity. We did that and we showed what we’re made of. We showed that the guys believe in each other and they believe in themselves.”

North Langley Bears’ Darian Pritchard eludes some Chilliwack Giants tacklers during bantam football at McLeod Park on Sept. 15.

Big wins for atom, JB Bears North Langley teams went 2-3 on Saturday at McLeod Park in week three action for the Valley Community Football League. ••••• After a pair of close losses the first two weeks of the season, the North Langley junior bantam Bears broke through for victory.

Planning ahead for peace of mind. How responsible are we to family, friends, and ourselves? Have you thought of the responsibility that you hold for your life now? Being responsible, is taking action. We do not want things left undone. If you died tonight, would you have been responsible enough to make sure that your final wishes were taken care of ? Death is a horrible experience for families. There are decisions to be made, and financial obligations need to be addressed. We would like to introduce two new products that can help alleviate the financial burden of a funeral. For example, prearranging for someone age 50 years can cost as little as $16.00 a month. For someone age 60 it can cost as little as $19.00 a month. These plans are affordable and they will relieve the financial burden on the family while freezing escalating funeral costs. Today, there are many choices available to you. Prearranging is a responsible decision. It provides peace of mind, protects your loved ones from having to make important decisions during one of life’s most emotional times, and it helps to create a celebration of your life.

Watch for our INSERT in Tuesday’s Langley Times.

We are offering you a complimentary Dignity Memorial Personal Planning Guide to help you begin. In addition, we will extend a 12% savings on the HST for entrusting us with your funeral prearrangements. This will be in effect until November 30, 2012. Responsibility needs to take place even at the end of life.

Your community funeral homes that care. Call now to plan ahead.

The Bears hammered the Meadow Ridge Knights 40-0 behind strong running from Zander Bailey and Pablo Wigwigan. Quarterback Brett Christenson connected with receiver Andy Hanlon for a huge 50-yard pass play. Ryan Barthelson and James Limoges anchored the defensive effort, with Barthelson also recovering a pair of onside kicks. ••••• Marcus Stang took the opening kick-off 65 yards for a touchdown and the North Langley atom Bears never looked back, defeating the Meadow Ridge Knights 24-12. Stang added another touchdown on a long run, while Ronin Ziegler also had a lengthy touchdown run. Jun McLean sealed the victory with a late touchdown run of his own. The defence also came up big, with both Keaghan Hurley and Jaxson Stebbings recovering fumbles. And Jacob Evans and Chris Morrison made key tackles in the dying seconds of the first half to halt the Knights at the North Langley oneyard line. Semir Hasic had some great blocks to spring long runs. ••••• The North Langley peewee Bears dropped a 14-0 decision to the Meadow Ridge Knights. It was an impressive defensive effort for the Bears, especially in the second half as they held the Knights to two points. Cadeyrn Barthelson led the defence in

tackles while Emerson Block and Joey Yeomans also had solid games. Brandon Brynjolfson held his own defensively and was the closest Bear to score, getting tackled just short of the goal line. ••••• North Langley fell 21-0 to the Chilliwack Giants in bantam action. The Giants scored all their points in the first half, as the Bears defence stepped it up in the second, with Colton Pierce and Brandon Sang both coming up with fumble recoveries. Quarterback Kenzie Oram had a solid second half throwing the ball, nearly getting his team into the end zone, but receiver Taryn Taylor was tackled at the one as he stretched for the end zone. Receivers Ian Canning and Darian Pritchard moved the chains through the air while Sang and David Nathan did so along the ground. ••••• The North Langley midget Bears could not overcome costly turnovers as they fell 31-0 to the Vancouver Trojans. Running back Mook Kim had a big game, rushing for more than 100 yards and also delivering several big kick returns. Fullback Sebastian Joseph and quarterback Adrian Clements were also effective in moving the chains. On defence, Eric Boomars, Alain Velo, Garrett Fredly and James Aalhus came up with big stops. Aalhus also had fumble recovery and a quarterback sack.

Rivermen look to get back on track

Times Sports

After exploding for a dozen goals in their first two contests of the regular season — managing a victory and an overtime loss for three out of a possible four points — the Langley Rivermen dropped a 3-2 decision to the host Coquitlam Express. Brady Shaw broke a 2-2 tie in the third period of the game on Friday (Sept. 14) at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre in BCHL junior A hockey action. “Special teams was the difference in the game,” said Langley coach Bobby Henderson. “They capitalized on a couple of their chances and we went O-fer.” He was referring to the Riv-

ermen getting blanked on six power play chances, including a lengthy two-man advantage early in the third period when the score was still tied at two. John Siemer and Malcolm McKinney scored first period power-play goals for the Express while defenceman Viktor Dombrovskiy replied for the Rivermen. His goal came off a scramble in front of the Coquitlam net as he banged in a rebound off a Austin Azurdia shot. Trevor Cope tied the game at two in the middle period. Cope, who leads the team with three goals and five points, scored on a great wrist shot while coming down the right wing. Two minutes after Langley failed to capitalize on their two-

man advantage, Alex Kerfoot stole the puck off a Langley defender and fed Shaw for the winner. Langley had two more power play chances after that, but came up empty. Goalie Darren Hogg was named second star for Langley, stopping 39 of the 42 shots. Henderson had high praise for his rookie goalie who was making his BCHL debut. “The only reason we were in the game was because our goaltender stood on his head,” the coach said.

Rams ready for Raiders showdown Gary ahuja Times Sports

Langley Rams coach Jeff Alamolhoda knows balance is the key as his team prepares for a huge first-place showdown with perennial league powerhouse Vancouver Island Raiders. “Football is such a mental game we have to be able to balance that fine line of playing intensely and with a lot of emotion and energy and passion but also being able to keep our cool and think and process information during the game,” he said. The Rams and the Raiders both sit atop the sixteam B.C. Junior Football Conference standings with 5-0-1 records. The teams met in week two and played to a 31-31 draw at Nanaimo’s Caledonia Park, a place where the Raiders have not lost during the regular season since 2005. That was also the last year Vancouver Island did not win the BCFC title. The Rams and Raiders will play twice in the final four weeks of the regular season, with both games at Langley’s McLeod Park. The first game is this Saturday (Sept. 22) at 4 p.m. And Alamolhoda knows his team has its work cut out for it. “We have to elevate our game, raise our level of intensity and game play,” he said. “We really are going to work on that this week, but we are also going to talk and preach a little bit about being able to straddle that fine line of playing really intense at a high level of energy without losing our minds and our focus on our actual outcome goals.” The teams enter ranked one-two both offensively and defensively. Langley is second in the league with 46 points per game and their defence has been rock solid, allowing a measly 12.2 points per game. The Rams defence is the only unit in the league to allow less than 100 points (73) so far. Langley is coming off a road 45-7 win over the Chilliwack Huskers on Sept. 15. The defence was dominant against the winless Huskers, holding Chilliwack to 104 yards of net offence, including minus 1 in the second half. The Rams rode an impressive ground game which churned out 284 yards on 28 carries and five touchdowns. Offensive player of the game Kyle Albertini led the way with 139 yards and two scores while Daniel Xavier, Nick Downey and Cecil Belanger each found the end zone once. Malcolm Williams caught six passes for 110 yards and one touchdown. Belanger and Greg Bowcott split the quarterbacking duties with the latter throwing the touchdown pass. The defence pitched a shutout as the Huskers lone score came off an interception they returned 60 yards to the end zone. Andy Lee and Arie Nakagawa both picked off passes while Curtis Schindel recovered a pair of fumbles. The defence also came up with five quarterback sacks,including 1.5 from Brandon Klein. Nick Felicella was the defensive player of the game with four tackles and two assists and three passes knocked down. As a team, Langley knocked down six passes and the special teams also blocked a punt. FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice

Accessorizing the bathroom easier than ever By Kerry Vital The fixtures in your bathroom are looking dated, or perhaps you’ve moved into an older home and want to give it an update. You’re contemplating replacing them with something new, but there’s a number of choices available, and you’re not sure where to start. Perhaps it’s best to get the advice of a professional. “You need to trust the sales staff,” says Shelli Auclair, showroom manager for Universal Supply. The sales staff at Universal Supply’s Artistic Baths showrooms all have over 10 years experience with helping customers find their perfect fit, so taking advantage of their expertise will give you some peace of mind. “Our people can read blueprints and know building codes,” Auclair says. “We’ve seen some bad design out there.

Building the perfect home gym starts with finding a pleasing place to put it “ from page.1

at home, is to exercise in ways that actually mirror real life movements. Many old-fashioned strength moves aren’t actually applicable to how your muscles move on a daily basis, so machines that make you work the muscles that you do use are especially important. “There’s a rise in sports like Crossfit,” says Manuel. “It’s functional fitness.” Crossfit is an exercise program where people do daily workouts using jump ropes, dumbbells and their own body weight, as well as other types of apparatus. Another popular program right now is P90X, short for Power 90 Extreme. It is an at-home regimen that lasts 90 days and includes yoga, martial arts, aerobic exercise and weight training. Manuel says he’s seen many people purchase the program lately, because it doesn’t need to be done at a gym and uses minimal equipment. “There’s a convenience factor there,” he says. When you picture weight training, you probably think of a full set of free weights and a bench, with muscle men grunting and straining to finish that last repetition. However, that’s not all that’s available anymore. New innovations in strength training include weighted kettlebells, Steelbells, which are made of neoprene and filled with steel shot, weighted body bars, and weighted ropes and chains (perhaps not something to do if you live in an apartment). As always, there are still the classic barbells and dumbbells, but now they can be brightly coloured and wrapped in neoprene to lessen the chance of calluses. When it comes to where to put your home gym, Manuel says it’s important to put it in a place that you actually want to visit. “If it’s not a space that you enjoy, it will become a reason not to exercise,” he says, adding that many people put their gym in a spare bedroom or garage because they’re easy places to put equipment. “If you don’t make it easy, you won’t do it,” he says. While some people can run on a treadmill for hours without getting bored, others need something to distract them. Installing a television or grabbing your iPod might help you forget that you’re burning calories. “I believe in being productive,” Manuel says. “Some people can read a book or a magazine while exercising. I can’t!” A common misconception that many people have is that you need a large space to exercise in, but Manuel says that’s untrue. “You can do incredible things in tight spaces. ... I can give people a workout with just a medicine ball.” When deciding on what kind of equipment to buy, it’s best to consult a professional for some tips. “It’s really specific to the goals of the individual,” Manuel says. “What are you trying to accomplish?” And lest you worry about getting bored with your routine and therefore stopping before you see results, Manuel says that shouldn’t be a problem. “There are lots of tools readily available,” he says. “You’re not doing the same thing every day. There is a lot more variety.” If you’re feeling a little bit tender after a workout, you don’t have to suffer. While it’s completely normal to feel a bit of soreness when you’re doing a new routine, don’t push yourself into an injury. “You have to go by how you feel,” Manuel says. Fitness and sports stores carry several pieces of equipment that can be used to untie some of your knots, from foam rollers to the plain old tennis ball. However, it is always recommended to consult your doctor before starting on any fitness regimen, especially if you haven’t worked out in a long time or if you have any injuries or health problems.

Dai Manuel, chief operating officer of Fitness Town, recommends people looking to build their own home gym invest in one piece of resistance equipment and one piece of cardio equipment as a starting point. Resistance equipment includes functional trainers, below right, and kettlebells, below left. Cardio equipment include treadmills, bottom, or elliptical trainers. Martin Knowles photos
