Head games

Gary AHUJA/Langley Times

A series of concussions may have slowed Amber Brown, but they couldn’t stop her GARY AHUJA Times Reporter

It was a crippling pain that sent Amber Brown to the darkness of her bedroom. It happened on an inconspicuous play during volleyball practice: a teammate spiked the ball, striking Brown in the back of the head. This was her sixth documented concussion. The first concussion came at age six while on the ski hill. She also suffered concussions playing hockey, in a car accident, on the basketball court, and one playing a game called garbage ball. The problem was serious enough that she saw a Calgary Flames’ team doctor who specialized in concussion. He advised her to give up contact sports. Eventually she did, winding up on the volleyball court, both indoor and beach.

Through high school, Brown played at the indoor club level in Calgary, making a 90-minute trip from Three Hills to practice, and then returning home. She came to Trinity Western University in 2008 and after her first couple of seasons, right when most players begin taking on a bigger role, the injury woes began. Brown missed the 2010/11 season because of a dislocated kneecap and a torn MCL (medial collateral ligament) and suffered the concussion the following season. She felt fine for a couple of days and kept practising, until headaches forced her off the court. Brown began skipping class, spending time in the darkness of her bedroom, either curled up in a ball on the bed, or reading scriptures from her Bible. “It was so frustrating, it was so weird,” Brown said.

“I could barely even go to school; I wouldn’t go to practices, so you don’t see your teammates, you don’t feel like you are part of the team. “I just laid there.” “I had a headache for five straight months and ringing in my ears every time I went to bed and when I woke up,” she said. At one point, doctors told her she may never play again. Brown remembers sitting in her car and crying upon hearing that news. “It wasn’t a very good time in my life,” she admitted. “I was quite depressed, sad. “After the last concussion, they said I developed post-concussion syndrome, so basically there are mental side effects and psychological and physical.” Brown used her faith to get through the difficult times and also threw herself into her studies.

“My first two years, I like to say I majored in volleyball and in my second two, it was school,” she said with a laugh. “So I decided that I wanted to help people my age get better at the sport I love.” Brown went to work with a good friend, Maddy MacDonald, and the pair schemed ideas on how to make training in Vancouver better for elite beach volleyball players. So Brown founded WestCoast Beach Volleyball as a way to help elite level players and as a way to make an impact on others. It opened last year with 28 players — from either the college, university or just-graduated ranks — who would practice twice a week under the guidance of five coaches. continued, PAGE 12

Project Post-It captured on video Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

R.E. Mountain Secondary student Eric Cho believes everyone needs a little boost from time to time. So late last month, he came up with an idea to spread some happiness in a time when stress and anxiety is at its highest with exams and senior students waiting to find out if they made it into university, he said. What he came up with inspired an entire school and staff too, said Mountain principal Magdy Ghobrial. Cho, the school’s Leo Club copresident, called it Project Post-It. “I was on YouTube one night and I saw this video of people posting sticky notes up on random places for strangers. I was basically inspired by this,” he said. He gathered fellow members of his Leo club, and the students got to work, hand-writing inspirational and kind quotes and words on sticky notes, like “you are beautiful because you love to smile” or “Note to self: you are awesome.” The volunteer group hand-wrote 1,200 Post-it notes with inspirational and happy words for students, teachers and staff. The same week as pink shirt

day for anti-bullying, the students posted the notes on the lockers of every student in the entire school, as well as for every teacher, principal and staff member. Students arrived to school on the Monday morning of that week to a special note on their locker. Cho documented the whole experience with an amazing video posted on Youtube. “Students absolutely loved the project. When I got home from school on that Monday, I checked my Facebook and all the students seemed so happy. I saw comments like “this really brightened up my Monday morning,” or “This was so awesome! I felt so happy when I read my note!” “At school, I heard students in the hallway say the same things about how awesome it was, wondering who did the project, wanting to keep their Post-it note,” he said. “It was the first time in my high school career where students were actually excited on a Monday morning.” Teachers were also excited, he said. The Langley Leo club is a youthdriven volunteer organization that strives to help the community and the school.

Board rejects year-round schooling Frank BucholTz Times Reporter

Langley Board of Education voted unanimously on Tuesday night not to proceed with a calendar change that would see district schools move towards year-round schooling. The board endorsed superintendent Suzanne Hoffman’s recommendation that the district continue with its current calendar, which sees schooling offered from the day following Labour Day until the end of June, with two-week breaks for Christmas and in the spring. Douglas Park Elementary will continue to operate on a modified calendar, with additional one-week breaks in November and May and school continuing until the second week of July. The current calendar will stay in place until at least the end of the 2015-16 school year. More than 7,400 people took part

in the consultations over the proposed change, with many filling out surveys, responding by email or other social media or attending forums. Most of the interaction about the proposal was online, although there were individual meetings Wendy within schools, in Johnson addition to the two open houses. Students were also invited to engage in the process. Of all those surveyed, 76 per cent favoured continuing with the status quo. A key factor for many, and something acknowledged by the superintendent in her report, was the impact that a change in the school calendar in Langley would have on families’ other activities.

“Whilst staff saw this as an opportunity for an educational conversation, it quickly became apparent that education and personal circumstances were inseparable. Considering a calendar change was seen as an intrusion into deeply rooted cultural norms and structures,” the report states. The report also acknowledges that “there is a level of distrust of the board and district staff within the community.” Board chair Wendy Johnson was pleased with the report and the unanimous backing from the board. She said it was the first major initiative from superintendent Hoffmann, and “she followed through and did everything she said she would, and then some. “There were all kinds of opportunity to engage,” Johnson said. School district communications manager Sandy Wakeling said Wednesday morning that comments were already coming in from parents, thanking the

board for its decision. “Families seem to have appreciated the opportunity to have input. Many were skeptical that there was a pre-determined outcome,” he said. Johnson said the robust amount of communication and the fact that staff and board members listened to the community helped to build some goodwill, after some controversial decisions in the past which led to prolonged tensions at the board, staff and community level. Another reason the superintendent recommended against making a calendar change was the lack of clarity from the ministry of education about whether there would be funding for inter-session learning, similar to that given to summer school. In addition, the report indicates that any change to the calendar would be best done on a regional basis. The district will be offering summer school this summer.

chamber president urges

Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce president Angie Quaale wants Langley Township council to back a campaign that would give B.C. businesses the right to vote in local elections once again. That right was removed by then-provincial municipal affairs minister Robin Blencoe in 1993, who repealed the business vote, arguing it provided a loophole that allowed people to vote more than once by simply leasing storage lockers. Quaale appeared before Township council Monday (March 11) to complain that businesses typically pay more taxes than residents but don’t get the same level of service, such as garbage collection, schools and recreation facilities. “Essentially, it’s taxation without representation,” Quaale said. As proposed by the chamber and other business groups in the province, the resurrected business tax would be struc-

A survey of the chamber’s 1,100 members has found them 92 per cent in favour of bringing back the business vote. It would give businesses a say in the communities they

operate in, something they are denied when they don’t happen to live where they operate, Quaale said. “I don’t live in Langley City, but I would have a vote [with the reinstatement of a business vote].” continued, PAGE 10

Man accused of sexual assaults pleads not guilty Langley man who made contact through Craigslist among alleged victims Sheila ReynoldS Black Press

A man accused of drugging, sexually assaulting and robbing several people —most of them Surrey sex trade workers but one of them a Langley man — pleaded not guilty to 24 charges in New Westminster Supreme Court Monday. Steven Andrew Beszedes was 45 years old when he was arrested in November 2010 and charged with 12 criminal offences — between 2005 and 2010 — but the number of charges was doubled as more witnesses were

located. Crown lawyers contend Beszedes drugged vulnerable people for his own benefit, often leaving them unconscious in bushes or parking lots after sexually assaulting and/or robbing them. All of the alleged 10 victims, except one, are female sex trade workers. “Because of this,” said prosecutor Beverly Lane, “their complaints were not taken seriously.” It wasn’t until a pattern began to emerge within the community that an investigation began, Lane said. Monday marked

the first day of what’s scheduled to be a lengthy trial before Justice James Williams. Lane outlined the testimony she expects the court will hear from the alleged victims in the coming weeks. All the women claim they were offered free drugs by Beszedes, said Lane, who said the man would tell them the white powder was crack, methamphetamine, or heroin. Some of the women knew him from prior encounters, while some did not know him. Almost immediately after smoking, injecting or snorting the offered drugs, the women, said Lane, reported passing out, sometimes not waking up for two

days. Many said they awoke either with no clothes or no underwear, feeling as if they’d had sexual intercourse. Several, said Lane, will also testify their personal belongings, such as cash and jewelry, were missing after their encounter with Beszedes. At least two of the alleged victims identified Beszedes from police photos. One alleged victim was a man

who used Craigslist to find a casual sexual encounter in 2010. The Crown will argue that he arranged a threesome with Beszedes and a woman and they all met at the man’s motor home on a rural Langley property. The man’s landlord had seen Beszedes and the woman enter the motor home and leave and attempted to call his renter. When he got no

response, he went to the motor home and found the male. His pants were down and he couldn’t be roused. In hospital, his urine contained the sedative benzodiazepine. The Crown’s theory is that it is the same drug as was administered during the encounters with the sex trade workers. Video surveillance from the Langley property was also seized as were cellphone records

from the alleged male victim’s phone, which shows the last number matches that of Beszedes, the Crown said. Beszedes, a tall, slim man with balding salt and pepper hair, listened from the prisoner’s box to the Crown’s case against him, waving once to an acquaintance in the court gallery. He has been in custody since his arrest. The trial continues.

Langley RCMP have issued a call for information about the Jan. 6, 2011 fire that destroyed the Fort Langley IGA store. The Wednesday written statement said investigators “are hopeful there has been ‘scuttlebutt’ over the last two

years and the arsonist may now be identified.” Broken glass and severed metal bars on the north side of the building suggest an attempted break-in may have actually started the fire, police said. The investigation by the Langley RCMP Street Enforcement Unit was described as

being “active.” A new IGA store was built to replace the destroyed building. Anyone with information that might assist police with the IGA investigation is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604532-3200 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) to remain anonymous.

Leads sought in 12-year-old case of missing Langley man On Wednesday, Langley RCMP issued a call for information about a man who disappeared 12 years ago. On March 13, 2001, 24-year-old Scott Anthony Devuyst disappeared. Devuyst was last seen leaving his residence in the 5800 block of 248 Street around 11:30 at night. He said he was going to a local corner store in Aldergrove and he would return in five minutes. He never did. Police said Devuyst was known to be a drug user. The written statement said it was “possible he has chosen to be ‘missing’ or he may have encountered trouble as a result of his involvement in the drug trade.” He is described as 6’ tall, with blonde hair, green eyes, and a scar above his left eyebrow.

Devuyst was wearing black and white Adidas shoes, a black Umbro toque, green cargo pants and a gray jacket. His family would like to know what happened so they can have closure, said RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. “Throughout the years, police have received little to no information to assist with Scott Anthony this investigation,” Marks said. “Langley Serious Crime Devuyst investigators are hopeful we will soon know the truth.” Potential sources are asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Savings predicted

angley Board of Education has made the correct decision in rejecting a district-wide move towards year-round schooling. If the education system operated in a vacuum, year-round schooling would likely make a lot of sense. Students retain more if there are shorter breaks between time in the classroom, and it would be most beneficial to students who have the greatest learning challenges. However, our school system, which in many ways has changed little since the 1850s, is just one of many systems modern-day families have to deal with. They have to deal with employers, and widely-varying demands on employees. They have to deal with governments at all levels, which demand an evergrowing portion of their annual incomes. Nowhere is this more true than in the Lower Mainland, where the province, local governments and TransLink constantly want more. Families also have to deal with the weather. Here in B.C., our best weather is usually in the month of August and in early September, with June and July a close second. How often have parents endured two nice weeks at the end of June, waiting for school to end — only to go on vacation in early July and hit steady rain? While this could be seen as an argument for a modified calendar, as is set up at Douglas Park Elementary, no one can count on the weather. Families also have to deal with sports, arts and other extra-curricular activities. Most schedules are built around the school year, and most involve regular interaction with children of a similar age from other communities. Year-round schooling would put a big dent in extra activities that, for some children, are a badlyneeded break from their studies. There is much more to raising children than sending them to school. School is a very important part of the formative years, but families cannot shape their entire lives around a school calendar. Nor should they have to. Unless the province is ready to embrace distance education (learning at home), and reshape the education system in that direction, year-round schooling simply won’t work. The school district, and particularly superintendent Suzanne Hoffman, are to be commended for engaging with the community on this issue. With more than 7,400 responses, it can be fairly said that this was one of the most comprehensive exercises in democratic engagement in Langley in many, many years.

ith the return to a combination of a seven per cent provincial sales tax and five per cent federal goods and services tax April 1, the harmonized sales tax experiment will come to an end in B.C. Taxpayers shouldn’t count on having more money left over at the end of the month, however, as the changes made by the province in the wake of the initial HST — tax credits for lower-income families and seniors among them — will also come to an end. There will some good news. Butchart Gardens food and beverage manager Bob Parrotta, who serves as the Victoria branch chair for the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association, insists that patrons will see a reduction on their bills after the PST is reinstated, with the net result being a four to five per cent increase in sales. If that materializes, and there’s no guarantee it will, it could create jobs and benefit other related businesses. Other consumers, such as those planning to purchase a new home or buying a new bike, may see large savings in one transaction. The HST was supposed to provide a less complicated tax regime for the sale of goods and services and eliminate exemptions and hidden taxes created under the old system. There were still loopholes. For example, a person buying a doughnut at Tim Horton’s would pay tax on their purchase, while the same doughnut at a grocery store would not be taxed, since it was considered a grocery item. We hope the work the province has done on reforming the PST, since the public voted the HST out with a 55 per cent majority, makes B.C.’s tax system more streamlined. The old system was previously found to be inefficient and unfair, not to mention unwieldy for business. At the very least, we fully expect businesses that complained loudest about the HST to put their money where their mouth is and prove to customers they are saving money under PST/GST. —Victoria News The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

green transportation

Many benefits to SkyTrain Editor: Re: “TransLink’s numbers challenged,” (letters, The Times, March 12). Malcolm Johnston’s promotion of non-automated light rail, be it for short or long distance trips, still requires seriously considering the many cuts across many streets, thus negatively and very annoyingly affecting (via crossing signals) stop-and-go, fossil fuel-emitting traffic. Additional fuel-burning buses hope-

fully will be ignored by the powers that be. They spew their toxins aplenty with their unrelenting stop and go in vehicle-congested Vancouver. However, there’s much green potential in a massive addition to overhead electric line grids to power such electric buses, which have been such a success in Vancouver for decades. Unfortunately, as long as SkyTrain

is a monetarily, though not environmentally, greater expense, there’ll be letters and voices in newspapers and other media denouncing this superior form of mass transportation. Regardless of its price, SkyTrain’s benefits considerably outweigh its negatives — unless, of course, one foolishly places breathable air on par, or even less valuable, than money. Frank G. Sterle, Jr., White Rock

More arguments for year-round schooling Editor: As one who has sat in a similar chair to yours, I know it is always satisfying to a community newspaper editor to receive a letter from a young person. So many of us think that young people do not read “real, hold in your hands, paper-type” newspapers anymore. However, regarding Sidney’s point of view (The Times, March 5) on year-round schooling, may I offer Sidney a few points to consider: 1. Not all parents can afford to enjoy a two-month summer break. Many more of them need to work during that time of the year, as owning a home and raising a family is getting more expensive, it seems, as the years go by.

2. As for children’s health, more emphasis needs to be placed on a proper diet (ie. “No More McDonald’s”), more exercise during the day, whether indoor or outdoors, and more physical education time during the school day . . . and far less time spent at a computer or in front of a television. 3. The Canadian school day is by no means long. In fact, many people consider it too short. And, in the long run, I think Sidney needs to look at: 1. the use of school facilities to a greater extent and maximizing the taxpayers’ funding for schools, as they are empty for two months under the current system;

2. maximizing student’s learning with shorter periods of schooling and more breaks; and, particularly, 3. retention of material learned from one school year to another, as June is virtually wasted with “pleasurable activities” like field trips and then September is spent reviewing things forgotten during the past three months. As I have mentioned, there is a 45-15 model that can have students or teachers taking a 75-day-period off, at any time of the year. And, Sidney, I look forward one day to seeing you sitting in the editor’s chair at the Langley Times. G.E. MacDonell, Abbotsford

Big bus costly on lightly-used route Editor: I have been provided with the figures for the 531 Coast Mountain bus route, which runs between Willowbrook and White Rock. It began running eight months ago. The bus makes 30 complete runs per day, from 5:40 a.m. to 8:40 p.m. It does this seven days per week. The regular fare is $2.75 per trip. Some people have passes or pay less. The bus used is not a shuttle bus, which holds 24 passengers, but the full-sized bus which carries 77 passengers. For the entire round trip, the average daily load is 110, according to TransLink. The average passenger count leaving Willowbrook terminus is two. Any genius can see that these sad

one-quarter of the costs. This run is costing TransLink and its taxpayers over $1 million in losses each year. Downsize the route. Put a smaller vehicle on it. Reduce the carbon footprint. A large bus is not justified at all. Reduce the space they need for their leisure time parking. The current bus takes up 10 parking spaces. We need it restored. Then move the terminus to a proper bus terminal and loop. Streets like ours that house homes and businesses were not planned to accommodate bus terminals. Get bus terminals off our well-used residential and business streets. Dr. James Findlay, Langley

Editor: I realize that it’s wrong to criticize hockey when Stompin’ Tom Connor’s song stating that “there is no game you can name like the good old hockey game” is being played frequently, because of his untimely death. Sorry, Tom, but I can name two or three that equal or surpass hockey in entertainment value; at least as far as I’m concerned. The first of these is soccer. It is the world’s most famous and most-watched game, by far. There is one aspect of the game that many find appealing; the sporting start with the inclusion of little kids in the opening ceremonies. This respectful aspect is usually carried on prior to the match and concludes with handshakes amongst opposing team members at the end of the contest. Certainly, there are certain distasteful occurrences to be endured, such as fake injuries and rumours of game fixing. But by and large this is a superb contest between men (or women) who are in magnificent physical condition and can run more than 12 kilometres during the event. Contrast this to most hockey games we watch. I could mention rugby, of course, with the roughest, toughest go at each other without mercy, or tennis matches than can last for hours in blistering heat. Canadian football is another game that is enjoyable, as is hockey, I gladly admit. But, sorry Tom, there are other games many of us can name that do compare with your good old hockey game. Too bad you didn’t write a song about them, but unfortunately it’s too late now. Mike Harvey, Langley

Hold door open Editor: The other day I read a news item that absolutely astounded, astonished, and appalled me. A foreign-born member of the Hell’s Angels has been given a hearty Welcome Aboard, an “Open Sesame” to Canada by the immigration services. Yes sir, belong to a well-known criminal organization and those government types just can’t open that Canadian door fast enough. And we are still having to fight for the right of a man of ethics and principles, a man who placed his life at risk for others, to stay in Canada. Jose Figueroa, you are most assuredly Canadian material. However, I expect that the highly-paid members of the Harper government will continue to wallow in their taxpayer feathered nests, and do nothing. Or hold the door open for more Hell’s Angels?

The

ridership figures don’t justify running the bus at all. Sure, TransLink says the numbers will some day grow. However, this bus make its parking stops, for half an hour intervals, on our street next to Superstore. We have lost out on 10 parking spots, and it stings all of the businesses in this area. Why is a bus that seats 77 used on a route that would be better suited to a taxi van? That would be far less costly. Add up the numbers. The bus route is a dud, and TransLink is bleeding money. Income from ridership is pitiful and the run is not popular. It costs well over $4,000 a day to run this bus, with income at less than

a proposed 2.79 per cent tax hike for this year until next month, when a vote on preliminary approval of the 2013 tax rate is tentatively scheduled for April 8, with the vote on final approval set for April 22. Along with the five-year plan, which is required under provincial regulations, council also unanimously approved increases to sewer and water rates. The minimum six-month

charge for metered water customers will rise from $210.46 to $216.67 for the first 110 cubic metres of water consumed. The flat rate will rise from $420.92 to $433.34 a year. Sewage rates will rise by similar amounts. This year’s $256 million budget would increase the yearly tax rate for an average house worth $485,000 from $1,490 to $1,531.

No business vote exists in Canada from PAGE 4

Under questioning by council, she said the law would give votes to both business licenses and business properties, even if one person owns both. In that situation, she said, the business owner would be entitled to two votes. A written statement issued the next day by the Langley chamber said that there “are a number of instances already in existence where an individual can be granted the right to vote more than once” such as non-residential property owners in municipal elections. “Voters needing assistance may also grant a representative the right to vote on their behalf,” the statement goes on to add.

No other province in Canada has a business vote, the chamber conceded. The only example of a business vote it could find was in London, England. The proposed resolution, as written by the chamber, would have council agree to lobby the Union of BC Municipalities to work with the provincial government and B.C. Chamber of Commerce to reinstate a business voting category “so that businesses can exercise their democratic right to vote and participate in the electoral process in the community.” Council heard Quaale out, but made no decision. The Langley chamber plans to appear before Langley City council with the same request on March 18.

he B.C. legislature session ends this week. It can’t come quickly enough for Premier Christy Clark and the BC Liberals. This is also the week we see the rest of the fallout from “ethnic-gate,” as the latest controversy over partisan activity by political staff has been clumsily labelled. A disgruntled former BC Liberal caucus staffer handed the NDP opposition an internal memo setting out a strategy for ethnic “outreach” that strayed into forbidden territory, suggesting that ethnicfriendly government events could be staged and participants’ names collected and turned over to the party. “This secret plan clearly demonstrates the Liberals are deliberately folding government resources and staff into their party’s campaign machinery, despite rules that forbid this,” thundered NDP house leader John Horgan. “We’ve seen this before, with the Liberals’ efforts to run a secret committee to subvert the public process around Burnaby Hospital, and in the attack website created by caucus staff and launched by the Liberal party.” Casual observers might see this as a disturbing new development in misuse of public resources. It’s disturbing, all right, but it’s hardly new. The “attack website” Horgan refers to is a case in point. While a website targeting NDP leader Adrian Dix was being

The 22-year-old Brown served as a coach/manager. All the while she was doing this, Brown continued her rehabilitation. She began working with Dan Bos, an Abbotsford sports physiotherapist. Bos focused on strengthening the neck. He found the problems stemmed from the alignment in her body, which was causing stress on her nervous system. “When you stress the

nervous system, it is like you are putting a vice grip on the brain and the spinal cord,” he explained. “It is very difficult for the brain to function when it is being squeezed so you see things like headaches or trouble with memory or confusion or they are feeling lethargic, no energy. “If there is a squeeze on the brain, that usually means the blood flow can’t filter out; it is getting trapped in there. “That is why we see a lot of athletes, that when they exercise, their symptoms will

get worse.” The key is to fix the structural problems, to release the pressure so that the blood flow can filter out and the pressure is alleviated. “The trick is to strengthen the neck to the point that it can handle stress,” Bos said. “If you don’t strengthen a neck in a concussion patient, it is like they are a bobblehead doll and the brain goes through a lot of torquing and twisting activity inside the skull.” continued, PAGE 13

Remember to eat your weeds A salmon-friendly garden seminar will be held this Saturday

s a weed scientist, the most common question I get is: “what is a weed, anyway?” The simplest definition is: “a plant out of place” or in other words “a plant growing where it is not wanted.” “Not wanted” by whom? Oftentimes one person’s weed is another person’s flower, or even vegetable or medicine. There are hundreds of species of weeds that have been defined as problematic to human enterprise, but in all my research I’ve not encountered a single weed that does not have some redeeming quality. I remember well the catchy title of a Langley Field Naturalist talk by naturalist Al Grass — “Bad Weeds Gone Good.” He waxed eloquent on some of the virtues of local weeds, including a weed that is notoriously difficult to control in our area, forming dense thickets guarded by its persnickety prickles. The redeeming qualities Grass ascribed to blackberry included its potential to provide cover and winter food for local song birds.

The Langley Sunrise Rotary Club has given a $4,500 grant to Help For Haiti, to assist honey farmers in Haiti increase their annual output. Bee project co-ordinator John Gibeau (right) met with farmers in Jeremie, Haiti.

Grant helps Haiti honey farmers

Langley Sunrise Rotary Club is helping boost honey production in Haiti. In year 2011, Rotary International Help for Haiti Society approached management of the Haitian Health Foundation (HHF) and asked if it would be interested in a beekeeping project in the area around the city of Jeremie, Haiti. The society has had a relationship with the HHF since 2004, primarily supplying flour mills to make Akamil, a source of protein and carbohydrates. Beekeepers in Haiti have been slowly making the transition to modern beekeeping equipment by building wooden boxes and frames themselves. Unfortu-

nately, due to lack of knowledge and no tools other than a hand saw and hand planer, they do not have the correct bee spaces inside, nor do they have uniform foundations, resulting in a disorganized colony which is difficult to manage. The average yield of a bee colony in Haiti is 15 kilograms per year. The average yield with properly managed modern equipment should be closer to 65 kilograms per year. The 20-year plan is to have 1,000 beekeepers managing 10,000 colonies (10 each). This would employ upwards of 5,000 people, and producing 325 tons of organic moringa honey, bringing more than $2 million

into the economy annually. “We were impressed with the 20-year plan,” said club president Rod Wainwright. “This is a community development focused project that will hopefully help to generate employment for thousands of people in an area of the world that really does need a hand up. The business model for the organic moringa honey demonstrates a significant boost for the local economy.” The grant is destined to help with the purchase of tools, customs and shipping costs. Close to $8,000 in beekeeping equipment has been shipped, and two training sessions held for over 30 farmers.

Mayors doing dirty work on transit funding, committee told

Jeff Nagel Black Press

TransLink officials are being criticized by Metro Vancouver mayors for backing off on the push for new funding solutions to expand the transit system. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie accused the transportation authority of shirking the unpopular task of securing new revenue tools and dumping the job in the laps of the mayors. “This is a complete and utter abdication by the board and by TransLink to do what they’re supposed to do,” Brodie said at a March 7 meeting of Metro Vancouver’s newly-formed transportation committee. The regional mayors council has called on the province to provide TransLink with new cash sources — an annual vehicle levy, road pricing, a share of carbon tax revenue or a small dedicated sales tax of no more than 0.5 per cent. “We are taking on the role because no one else is taking it on,” Brodie said. “Everybody else has walked away.” Brodie also criticized TransLink board chair Nancy Olewiler for so far failing to keep a promise to open up closed board meetings to the public. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan also argued the TransLink board has not sufficiently backed up the mayors in the push for new funding. TransLink executive vicepresident Bob Paddon responded, saying it’s “very difficult” to have an informed dialogue with the public at

large about new taxes or fees to fund TransLink. TransLink has been repeatedly slammed with media headlines like “28 ways for TransLink to pick your pocket” when new sources were floated, he told the mayors. “We pushed hard on this, we got n o w h e r e with it,” Paddon said. “It is something people are Malcolm very passionBrodie ate about, they have strong opinions about.” Instead, he said, the board and executive concentrated on finding efficiencies to cut TransLink’s costs. TransLink needs at least another $5 billion just to keep up the existing system over the next 30 years. To significantly expand the system, Paddon estimated $14 to $23 billion will be needed over the same period, depending on how fast the region wants to grow and the types of transit upgrades that are picked. That expansion spending equates to a need for TransLink to raise an extra $175 to $700 million per year to fund its share of capital costs, he said, assuming the federal and provincial governments still contribute large shares as well. TransLink will lay out a plan on transit line expansions, such as the Vancouver and Surrey extensions, over the next 15 years, with costs.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson noted $2.3 billion in capital spending divided by 2.3 million residents is the equivalent of $10,000 per capita, adding that is “not acceptable by any standpoint.” S u r r e y mayor and c o m m i t tee chair Dianne Watts reminded her the $2.3 billion doesn’t count senior g o v e r n m e n t Bob Paddon contributions. Paddon also pointed out some of TransLink’s success depends on the decisions of individual cities to densify housing on transit corridors to increase ridership and revenue. He showed aerial photos of some original Expo Line SkyTrain stations in east Vancouver, still surrounded by lowdensity single-family houses after more than 25 years “I understand there are reasons why things don’t happen,” Paddon said. “But if we are going to make those investments we want to see the benefits.” The meeting happened after Mayors Council chair Richard Walton said he was disappointed with the provincial government’s lack of response to the calls for funding reform. “Without the proper tools and authority, our hands are tied,” he said. Transportation Minister Mary Polak indicated the province would take no new steps before the May provincial election.

Deanna Bartolomeu/langley times

Jessica Shields, from head office in Toronto, pours a perfect pint of Guinness at Fox and Fiddle on the Langley Bypass as the business prepares to reopen after extensive renovations.

High hopes for new and improved Fox and Fiddle Brenda anderson Times Reporter

When Fox and Fiddle opens its doors after five full weeks of renovations, even the regulars won’t recognize the place, predicts the Langley establishment’s owner. The only thing that remains of the original Fox and Fiddle, which first opened on the Langley Bypass just over a decade ago, is a brick wall, says Leanne, who purchased the franchise with her husband in December, 2002. “The whole thing has been renovated, the bar was torn down and rebuilt, there are new tables and chairs, new blinds, new glassware,” she said.

Ensuring that the business remains on a level playing field with the best that Langley has to offer was crucial. “All of Langley is about new and fresh,” she said. “It’s a big place, with lots to offer in terms of pubs and bars.” And because of that, Langley is drawing patrons from surrounding communities as well, she added. Other Fox and Fiddles in Canada have been undergoing renovations, as well, Leanne explained, but even if that wasn’t the case, the Langley pub was due for an upgrade. “After 10 years, it needed it. It was getting dated.” continued, PAGE 19

The Langley Times • Thursday, March 14, 2013 • 19

Three-day grand opening planned from PAGE 18

Improvements include not only new furnishings, but 10 brand new televisions and a digital sound system that will offer clearer, crisper audio for fans of UFC who come out on Saturday nights and, of course, those who prefer to cheer for the Canucks or Lions over a pint. “We tried (the sound system) out last night — it was fantastic,” said Leanne. With its grand re-opening set for later this month, Fox and Fiddle quietly re-opened for business on Tuesday, under the watchful eye of a new general manager and with a brand new menu. But fans of pub-style “comfort food” can relax, said Leanne, because they will continue to serve a number of old favourites including Beef and Guinness stew, fish and chips and shepherd’s pie. The re-opening puts Fox and Fiddle’s 32 employees back on the floor and in the kitchen, but many have been busy during the renovations as well. “Servers have been working around the clock to get the place open,” said Leanne. “It really is like a family. The staff have done an amazing job.” They’re looking forward to reconnecting with their customers after a five-week break, she added. And, it would appear, a few of their patrons are getting a bit impatient, too. Some of the regulars have already snuck inside for a peek, she laughed. “You don’t realize how many people you connect with until you take it away.” And when they bring it back, they’ll do it in style, with three full nights of grand re-opening celebrations, March 21-23, with live music, a bit of magic and a some product sampling from their suppliers. The party begins with folk-rock band Factories and Alleyways on Thursday, March 21, followed by a performance from Not Sold Separately on Friday, March 22. On Saturday, patrons can expect something a bit more out of the ordinary with the introduction of dueling pianos, featuring a pair of local musicians. “We have high hopes for that; it’s something very different,” said Leanne. Fox and Fiddle, located next to the Hampton Inn and Suites, at 19530 Langley Bypass, is open Sunday, Monday and Tuesday until midnight, until 2 a.m. on weekends and until 1 a.m. the rest of the week. Something else you might like to know about Fox and Fiddle? “We pour a perfect Guinness,” said Leanne. Every bartender working there is trained in the two-step pour which, when done correctly, takes exactly 119 seconds. For a true Guinness drinker, that matters. It’s done perfectly every time, she said, “and our customers appreciate that.”

Amanda Emery, Kin’s Farm market join forces to fight cancer Remember that New Year’s resolution to start living a healthier lifestyle? Neither do most people. In fact only eight per cent of people keep their New Year’s resolution, according to research by psychology Professor John C. Norcross from Scranton University in Pennsylvania. But for 13 contestants throughout the Lower Mainland, kick-starting their goal to a healthy lifestyle could benefit their bodies and win them a cruise. They are participating in the Kin’s Farm Market Green Fighters Challenge to start living healthier and to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. For Langley’s Amanda Emery, the motivation couldn’t be greater. She is doing the contest in honour of her mother, who passed away from colon cancer in 2008. Colon cancer runs in her family, and she feels she has been making unhealthy eating choices that would increase her risk, she said. “I have always wanted to participate in a walk/run for cancers below the waist in honour of my mom, but still have yet to do it,” she wrote in her bio. “I feel that I don’t have

Langley’s Amanda Emery is participating in the Kin Farm Market Green Fighters Challenge for the Canadian Cancer Society in honour of her mother. the endurance needed to complete the task, or the confidence. This is something I would like to accomplish this year, to raise more money for cancer research by participating in Vancouver’s “Underwear Affair” and to fall in love with healthy eating.”

So far Emery has raised $325 of her $1,000 goal for the Canadian Cancer Society. The contest, which started on March 1, will have participants take part in a weekly challenge over 13 weeks for a chance to win several prizes. The contestant who shows the greatest improvement in health at the end of the 13 weeks will win the grand prize of a cruise. For her second challenge, Emery was set up at Kin’s Farm Market at Willowbrook Mall on Saturday collecting and distributing “one thing” post-it notes from customers, pledging one thing they can do to improve their health. Next week she will have to create an entirely green meal for St. Patrick’s Day. Other challenges include creating healthy eating tips, blogging about her health experiences, creating YouTube videos and selling Canadian Cancer Society daffodil pins.

Zombie paintball game looks for a new home in Langley First season at South Surrey location ended with hundreds still waiting to play Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

Erin Cebula, Spokesperson

After a successful run in South Surrey last year, the Lower Mainland’s first liveaction zombie fighting game is looking for a new home in Langley. “We sold out a week into the season,” said game creator Ron McCall, a Langley resident with years of film and television experience that includes horror and action-adventure productions like Hellraiser: Hellseeker, Vampire, and Max Havoc: Ring of Fire. The outdoor evening adventure game launched Sept. 15 and ran until the end of November, when the weather

got too wet and cold to continue. By then, there were 350 people on a waiting list to play. “We’re looking to expand,” said McCall, who has been talking to the Township of Langley about finding a new site. McCall said the Township staffers he’s spoken to so far have told him there doesn’t seem to be anything in municipal regulations that covers a zombie apocalypse, even the pretend variety, but he’s hoping they’ll see the potential benefits. “We could be bringing hundreds of thousands of dollars of tourism,” McCall said. McCall got the idea for a liveaction zombie fighting game when he was playing paintball during a first-season wrap party for the True Justice television series he worked on. McCall compares the “Zombie Combat Zone” he developed with business partner Jen Yarnell to “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding,” the often-staged improvisational live theatre produc-

tion that has audience members become part of the show by pretending they are guests at a profoundly dysfunctional and funny wedding. Only rather than confetti and cheap wine, McCall’s show involves weapons and the undead. Groups of eight to 10 players go on an after-dark mission into a zombie-infested zone to locate and rescue a group of missing scientists, discover the source of the plague that has caused the dead to rise, and, if possible, stop it. Unlike ordinary paintball games, players only shoot at zombies, not other players. Players use lower-pressure paintball guns, and no physical contact is allowed between zombie performers and players. McCall is already thinking about a follow-up, non-zombie game. One possibility is a Predatorthemed game, based on the dreadlocked human-hunting aliens first seem in the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film.

A rush job, done well Company in charge of new Langley park and ride wins award Dan Ferguson Times reporter

The company that coordinated construction of the new Carvolth park and ride at 86 Avenue and 202 Street in Langley brought it in on time and on budget despite a tight construction schedule and problems with soft soil. The work by CMS Focus Management Services Ltd. of Victoria earned the top award for excellence in construction management and supervision, at the ninth annual Deputy Minister’s Consulting Engineers Awards on Jan. 30. “The uniqueness on this project was that there was no design when we started, very little, just a concept,” CMS project manager Bob Brown said in a video produced for the awards ceremony. Brown said his firm had to “juggle” multiple contracts to get the work done by its December deadline. CMS had the $4.7-million contract to manage and provide supervision services for the construction of two new structures on Highway 1 eastbound and westbound lanes, a roundabout to allow express bus underpass access on and off of Highway 1, and the new park and ride facility in Langley accommodating 669 vehicles.

Panther Constructors hopes Vancouver will follow Abbotsford’s lead

Finding affordable living in the Lower Mainland Affordable housing has been in the news a lot lately, and developers are looking to appeal to buyers who may not be able to afford as much in an expensive real estate market. Brian Roche, president of Panther Constructors, is hoping that Vancouver will take a page out of Abbotsford’s book and implement a rezoning plan that will allow developers in Chinatown to offer more affordable homes to buyers in an area that is rapidly becoming popular. “Abbotsford took a piece of property and rezoned it to make it more affordable,” Roche says. “They offered it to developers to buy, and built

affordable housing.” This prevented buyers from leaving the area and moving to less-expensive communities, such as Mission. Roche says this is something that he is hoping to see in Vancouver as well. Panther is looking for the city to find ways to either reduce prices on the land in the area or cap the current price. Since Panther purchased the land for The Flats on Georgia, their condo development in Chinatown, other developers have taken notice and begun working on their own projects. “Chinatown has become a hotbed,” says Roche. “Prices have gone up quite substantially.”

Modern Georgian style

Coquitlam welcomes Emerson to the neighbourhood By Kerry Vital

Georgian architecture with modern interiors is arriving in West Coquitlam with MOSAIC’s EMERSON, already under construction on Como Lake Avenue near North Road. “EMERSON will be a block from the coming Evergreen Line,” says MOSAIC’s Geoff Duyker. “In the near future, this whole area will look totally different. The halo of the Evergreen Line combined with some exciting mixed-used projects will bring new high-street retail and breathe vibrant life into everything.” While the convenient transit orientation of Evergreen Heights has huge appeal to shoppers, the neighbourhood has other amenities to offer. “EMERSON is close to Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby Mountain campus,” says Duyker. “This has brought both first-time buyers and parents investing for their children.” Shops and restaurants are minutes away in either direction at Lougheed Town Centre, Newport Village or Little Korea on North Road. Plus, you’ll also find the big box convenience of United Boulevard a few minutes away. Recreation and leisure activities are available at the parks in the area, as well as fishing at Como Lake, golfing at the Vancouver Golf Club or a workout at Steve Nash Fitness World – all nearby. EMERSON will hold 63 apartment

residences in a variety of one- and twobedroom floorplans ranging from 589 to over 700 square feet. “Already 70 per cent sold, homebuyers are recognizing EMERSON’s phenomenal value relative to other options on the market,” says Duyker. Inspired by Georgian architecture, EMERSON will have plenty of red brick and black metal work, mullioned windows and layers of landscaping. Buyers with a green thumb will find plots for herbs and vegetables, but you don’t need to be a nature lover to enjoy the garden greenscape with trellises and benches perfect for a picnic. Inside, the nine-foot ceilings (10 feet on the penthouse level) heighten the sense of space to the home, complemented by large windows that let the light pour in, whatever the weather. The main living areas feature laminate wood flooring throughout, with an elegant tile threshold with granite inset in the entry – a MOSAIC

signature. The beauty continues in the kitchen, with its polished composite quartz countertop and two-tone flat-panel cabinetry. The stainless-steel appliances and glass tile backsplash are lit by under-cabinet task lighting, while the open shelving and under-cabinet spice ledge, all designed by MOSAIC, are masterstrokes of convenience and contemporary style. Moving into the bathrooms, you will find porcelain tile flooring and polished composite quartz countertops, complemented by the polished chrome

and white glass pendant light fixtures. The deep soaker tub is perfect for a soak, while the wood-framed niche with inset glass shelves beside the vanity in the ensuite is a special touch that demonstrates the design-driven details in a MOSAIC home. “MOSAIC is passionate about great design,” says Duyker. “We build better homes.” Homes at EMERSON start in the low $200,000s. For more information, visit mosaichomes.com/emerson, call 604936-9300 or check out the Home Store and model home at 608 Como Lake Avenue, West Coquitlam.

“

MOSAIC is passionate about great design,” says Geoff Duyker. “We build better homes.”

Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac this partly treed, big .3 acre lot has room for your ideas. The home is a spacious bsmt style home with big living and dining rooms and a large, rebuilt sundeck off the rear. The bsmt suite has been previously rented but needs a bit of touch-up. The main home is great for someone to live in and renovate over time. There may be room to build a shop in one corner with vehicle access. The roof is near new, the septic is not, but there's plenty of upside if you like the lot.

Super location on a no-thru street with park across the road. This brand new home can be customized to the buyers taste. It's a big 7528 SF corner lot with RV parking options. As an option, the basement can be finished to include a legal suite. Lund Projects is a quality builder with a strong resume and the finishes here will be nice. Choose your colors and finishes and the home can be ready for summer. This is a great room design with lots of windows and luxury kitchen. 4 bdrms up with the master boasting a large ensuite with big shower and soaker tub plus a roomy walk-in closet. The garage also features a double deep bay for workshop or extra storage. Get away from the Willoughby cramps, this is a home like it should be.

Plevy, Monk earn all-star honours

A pair of Langley Minor Hockey alumni were both named B.C. Hockey League all-stars last week (March 6). Austin Plevy and Josh Monk were named BCHL second-team all-stars for the Coastal Conference and Interior Conference, respectively. Plevy, an 18-year-old forward for the Chilliwack Chiefs, had 30 goals and 73 points to finish second in the BCHL scoring race to Langley Rivermen’s Mario Puskarich. Monk, a 20-year-old defenceman for the West Kelowna Austin Warriors, has Plevy nine goals and 46 points to finish fourth in league scoring among defencemen. It was one of two honours for Monk last week as he was also named the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s second star for the month of February. Monk led all BCHL defencemen in scoring for the month with four goals and nine assists. He had points in seven of the eight games he played while helping the team to an impressive 7-1-1 record. Monk is off to Providence College on Josh scholarship next Monk season, while Plevy is slated to attend Merrimack. Both Plevy and Monk also helped their respective teams qualify for the BCHL’s Fred Page Cup playoffs, which begin tomorrow (Friday). Chilliwack faces Prince George while West Kelowna battles Merritt.

It has been a spectacular season for Langley Rivermen forward Mario Puskarich (far right). The 20-yearold from Florida won the BCHL’s Brett Hull Trophy as the top scorer, the first time a Langley player has won the honour since 1995. The Rivermen are also in the postseason, which begins on Friday in Surrey. Garrett JAMES/BCHL

Mario super for Rivermen Gary ahuja Times Sports

Mario Puskarich was three years old and had probably yet to get on the ice. That is how far back it goes since a Langley junior hockey player won the Brett Hull Trophy as the top scorer in the B.C. Hockey League. But that is exactly what Puskarich has done for the Langley Rivermen. Just a few short weeks ago, the scoring race was in question with a pack of players all tied atop the scoring race. But a strong finish down the stretch helped put the race out of reach and it became official on Saturday — with Puskarich not even in the line-up — that the Rivermen’s leading scorer had won the scoring title with 41 goals, 46 assists and 89 points in 55 games. The last — and only — Langley junior player to win the title was Jeff Antonovich, who scored 133 points for the Langley Thunder back in 1995. Puskarich’s 41 goals were also tops in the league, three ahead of Surrey’s Brady Shaw. And his 89 points gave him a 16-point advantage over Chilliwack’s

Austin Plevy, who finished with 73 points. In fact, Plevy — a Langley Minor Hockey Association product — and Puskarich were Rivermen teammates last season before Plevy was traded in the off-season. “It is a huge accomplishment; it means a lot,” Puskarich said. “It was one of my goals at the start of the year.” Not surprisingly, Puskarich was named the team’s most valuable player at their awards banquet on March 6. “It has been brilliant,” said Rivermen coach and general manager Bobby Henderson. “I think he has done a great job of silencing the critics. “There were a lot of people who questioned how he would produce, if he was going to be a legit top three guy.” Puskarich finished the season strong with 11 goals and 28 points in the final 13 games to run away with the title. He had points in 12 of those games. It was right around the Christmas break, and Puskarich was leading the league in scoring, when the 20-year-old

realized he was having a good season and just needed a strong second half. “My junior career started OK, hit a few bumps, but to finish if off like this is just a perfect ending,” he said. Last year, his first in the BCHL, Puskarich had 31 goals and 59 points in 60 games. He had considered playing back in the U.S. with the Tri-City Storm of the USHL. But ultimately Puskarich thought he would be better served to return to Langley. “I felt more comfortable here with the coaching and we had a lot of returning players,” he said. “We felt we could really do something this year.” Henderson said Puskarich trained hard in the off-season, shedding a dozen pounds, and has been great all year. It also helped that he developed great chemistry with line-mate Evan Campbell. Campbell had 20 goals and 46 assists in 51 games. His assist totals were third in the league.

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

Bears: are coming out of three or four months of hibernation this time of year. They are extremely hungry, have lost weight, and are looking for a lot of food. They also have cubs, which the mothers will teach how to hunt and look for food. Baby bears learn from their mothers’ behavior and they are smart animals: don’t let them learn that food can easily be obtained from humans. If you encounter a bear, do not run. Act big and loud, and back away slowly to a safe place.

Cougars: can have kittens throughout the year, and family groups can

be seen at any time. Cougars and bobcats have been seen in Langley over the past couple of months. They survive on natural food sources found in the wild, primarily deer.

Cougar attacks on humans are highly unlikely. However, if you encounter a cougar, do not run. Pick children up immediately and talk to the cougar in a confident voice. Act big by waving sticks and branches, and back away slowly while still facing the cougar. If it attacks, fight back.

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

In Residential Areas: Reduce the smell of food by keeping barbecues clean. Keep pet food inside. WARNING Garbage is the biggest attraction Langley has a large for bears so keep it secure and inaccessible to wildlife. Do not deer population leave garbage cans out overnight: USE CAUTION keep them in the house, a locked ON ROADS garage, or secured outbuilding that cannot be broken into by large, smart bears. Put them out only on the morning of collection. If you are worried about odour, keep garbage in the freezer until collection day. Do not use bird feeders, as they attract bears and the birds do need seeds when other natural food sources are available. Be vigilant with small animals, especially cats, in areas where coyotes are around.

In Agricultural Areas: Protect your investment by keeping fences secure and free of damage that predators can use for access. Coyotes burrow, so ensure surrounding netting goes deep into the ground. Use electric fencing to deter bears from blueberries and beehives, and pick berries and fruit as they ripen. Be vigilant with livestock and keep them secure. Farm animals are usually killed at night, so bring them inside in the evening. It is an offence to attract wildlife into a residential neighbourhood. Those who do not take steps to deter bears and other wild creatures can face a fine of up to $575. To report poachers or polluters or if you have a problem with wildlife call: Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) 1.877.952.7277

Vipers golden in Seattle The Langley Vipers capped off their season in style, bringing home the gold medal from a weekend tournament in Seattle hosted by the Sno-King Amateur Hockey Association. The H4 LY2 initiation hockey team went 3-0 in the round robin portion of the tournament, defeating a trio of Washington state teams. That put them into the semifinals against Ridge

Meadows, and after a hardfought victory, Langley faced the Sno-King Green team in the finals. Playing their fifth game in two days, the players were exhausted, but managed to hold on for a 5-4 victory, including withstanding a Sno-King attack that did not relent until the final buzzer sounded.

The husband-wife team of Chilliwack’s Trevor and Tanya Goertzen were among the hundreds of runners who participated in the annual Golden Ears 10K and Half Marathon on Sunday. The race begins in Pitt Meadows, crosses the Golden Ears Bridge into Langley and then back across the bridge.

Running for a good cause Two hundred and seventyseven runners were pounding the pavement on Sunday as part of the 2013 Golden Ears Half Marathon and 10k run.

Altogether, 154 runners took part in the 10K portion of the run while 123 participated in the half marathon. The race began and ended at Pitt Meadows’ Bonson Centre, crossing over the Golden Ears Bridge into Langley and then back over again. Proceeds from the event will be split among the Langley School District school meal program and the Friends in Need Food Bank in Pitt Meadows.

Eagles soaring with 14 wins in 15 games Gary ahuja Times Sports

The white-hot Langley midget A1 Eagles are off to the provincial championships. The hockey team qualified for the tournament after going 2-1 at the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association final four championships, which were held March 2-4 at the Chilliwack Twin Rinks. The playoffs didn’t begin very well for the

Langley squad as they dropped their opening game, 4-3 to the Seafair Islanders, on a last-second goal. It was the team’s first loss since Dec. 15. But they bounced back, defeating Cloverdale 3-1 and then Semiahmoo 5-3. The last victory was huge as it gave the Eagles a 2-1 round-robin record along with Cloverdale. And because Langley won the teams’ head-to-head matchup, they got the nod for the provincial

tournament, which runs March 17 to 21 in Abbotsford. “The (Semiahmoo) victory was probably our best game of the year that the team played,” said Langley coach Ron Leroux. “It was fantastic by all accounts.” Kurt Klimek delivered a stellar performance in goal, while Carsen Petersen and Quincy Leroux scored twice apiece. Jordan Gracie had opened the scoring for Langley with a short-

handed marker. At the start of the year, the coach said provincials was in the back of the team’s mind, but they weren’t sure how the season would play out, especially considering six players who figured to be a part of the LMHA midget teams landed full-time roster spots with their respective junior clubs. And the A1 Eagles themselves had an average start to the year before catching fire with wins in 14 of their past 15 games.

Shorthanded Langley squad comes through Gary ahuja Times Sports

It was a workmanlike effort which paid huge dividends for the Langley bantam A5 Eagles as they are off to the B.C. provincial tier 4 championships. “We were shorthanded and it was just an unbelievable team effort,” said coach Kevin Qualtrough. “They just battled.” The Eagles were playing in the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association final four championships. They were up against the Langley A4 Eagles, the Abbotsford A4 Hawks and the Semiahmoo A5 Ravens. The tournament was held at the George Preston Recreation Centre and the Langley Sportsplex March 1 to 5. At stake was a spot in the provincial championships, which will be held in Houston from March 17 to 21. The Eagles beat Abbotsford 6-3 in their first game, but lost the battle of Langley 2-1 in their second game. They closed with a 5-2 win over Semiahmoo. That left both Langley teams and Abbotsford with identical 2-1 round robin records, but thanks to a plus-five goal differential, it was the A5 Eagles who captured the banner to advance to provincials. Qualtrough was impressed with his team’s performance in the playoffs, especially considering they were down four bodies. But some timely goal scoring, good defence and stellar goaltending put the team over the top.

Kodiaks ground Pilots, through to PJHL finals The Aldergrove Kodiaks will play for the Pacific Junior Hockey League championship after eliminating the Abbotsford Pilots. The Kodiaks’ Spencer McHaffie scored on the first shift on Tuesday night at Abbotsford’s MSA Arena and Aldergrove never looked back, winning game five 4-1 to eliminate the higher-seeded Pilots. The Kodiaks were leading 1-0 when they struck for a pair of power-play goals 40 seconds apart in the final 64 seconds of the first period. Ryan Simpson and Scott McHaffie netted the goals, which effectively put the game out of reach. Spencer McHaffie scored his second of the night on another power play early in the second. Abbotsford’s Brandon Daase

ruined Mark Menicucci’s shutout bid with a powerplay goal with seven minutes to play. Aldergrove, which finished nine points behind Abbotsford for first place in the Harold Brittain Conference during the regular season, won the final four games of the best-ofseven series. The Pilots had won game one 8-1 and had third-period leads in both games three and four. Included in the four wins were a pair of double overtime victories for the Kodiaks in both games three and four. The Kodiaks will play either the Richmond Sockeyes or the Delta Ice Hawks for the PJHL championship. Richmond leads the series 3-1 with game five set for tonight (Thursday).

While no team or coach likes to lose, one particular defeat may have come at just the right time for the Langley bantam A3 Eagles hockey club. The team was playing its second game at the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association final four championships, which were held March 1-3 by the North Shore Winter Club. They won their opener, 6-3 over Coquitlam, but Langley, the top seed, dropped a 1-0 decision to the third-seed Port Moody squad. “This was a shock to us as the number one seed,” admitted Eagles coach Bob Woykin. “(But the loss) provided spark for us and the kids came out with probably the best game of the season.” Woykin was referring to a 5-1 victory over the second seed North Shore Winter Club. And the victory was huge, as it allowed Langley to finish second in the final four championships — which was won by Port Moody — since two teams would be qualifying for the B.C. provincial championships.

The 10-team tournament runs March 17-21 in Dawson Creek. Provincials has been the team’s goal all season long. “Our early season goal was that if we made the provincials, we would do our best to represent Langley well,” Woykin said. “But now, after being the number one seed in the lower mainland in our flight, we have the goal of winning the provincials.” The team has only lost three games since November. “Our strength is our speed and our puck movement and our commitment to defence,” he said. “The players work so hard as a team defensively and that makes it easy to transition to offence.” The loss to Port Moody was the team’s first and only defeat, having beaten Vancouver in a one-game elimination and then taking down Chilliwack in a fourpoint series to qualify for the final four championships. “This team has been successful because they have been driven to excel when they play stronger competition and that has helped them win the regular season banner, playing against A2 teams,” Woykin said.

Eagles await in post-season for Rivermen from PAGE 41

when they had 44 points in 60 games and missed the post-season. This edition of the team had 54 points, with the regular season also decreasing by four games, and made the playoffs. Puskarich admits the scoring title would not have meant as much had Langley missed the playoffs. A major reason for the team’s success has been its offence, which was fifth in the league with nearly 3.5 goals per game. And it wasn’t all Puskarich, either as the Rivermen boasted balance and depth with nine players scoring double digits in goals. “There are just more guys that are contributing every night and it has helped our success,” Henderson said. “It is always nice to know that if our top line doesn’t have the best night, that we have three other lines who are capable of scoring,” he said. “We can roll four lines; not a lot of other teams in the league have the depth that we have. “It is definitely a plus.” The Rivermen now face the tough task of a best-of-five playoff series against the Surrey Eagles, the top team in the BCHL with 78 points. Surrey beat Langley eight out of nine times during the regular season. “Heading into the playoffs, you throw out the regular season records,” said Surrey coach Matt Erhart. “Every team is tough once playoffs start. It’s a short series, a real grind playing almost every day, so anything can happen.” “And Langley’s been playing well lately,” he added. “Since Christmas, really, I think the only team they’ve had trouble with is us.” As for facing Puskarich, the coach said you have to be aware of where he is. “He led the league in scoring, so we know he’s a very dangerous player,” Erhart said.

Langley Rivermen’s Austin Azurdia gets a step on Chilliwack Chiefs’ Cooper Rush during the Chiefs’ 5-1 victory on Saturday at Prospera Centre in the BCHL regular season finale. Both teams open the playoffs tomorrow (Friday) with Langley visiting Surrey and Chilliwack hosting Prince George. “He gets a lot of points on the power play, too, so our penalty killing is going to be pretty important.” The series begins at South Surrey Arena with games one and two on Friday (March 15) and Saturday.

Game three is at the Langley Events Centre on Monday. If necessary, game four would be at the LEC on March 19 while a fifth and deciding game would be back in Surrey on March 20. —with files from Nick Greenizan/Black Press

The Langley Rivermen held their awards banquet at the Langley Events Centre on March 6, handing out hardware to the players as well as thanking the volunteers and billets. Award winners on the night included: James Robinson — energy player of the year. Mitch McLain — community award Austin Azurdia — fan favourite. Viktor Dombrovskiy — most improved.

Lightning girls hockey team strikes for double-double Gary ahuja Times Sports

For the first time in eight years, a Langley girls midget ice hockey team has captured both the league and playoff banners. The Langley Lightning, a midget C2 team which plays out of the Langley Girls Ice Hockey Association, secured

the double-double with a 3-1 victory over the Surrey C2 Falcons. Brooke Deakin, Sarah Schwagele and Robyn Maione scored in the victory. “The girls executed our game plan and it was a team effort,” said Lightning coach Louie Maione. “Our goal at the beginning (of the year) was to provide a

SWAN-E-SET BAY RESORT & COUNTRY CLUB

learning environment that our girls could build on,” he said. “We wanted to strive for excellence, not for wins and losses, but to teach each and every player the necessary skills to realize their own individual potential.” What resulted was an impressive 17-2-1 record in the regular season, which netted the Lightning the Pacific Coast

Amateur Hockey Association regular season banner. The Langley squad, made up of 14 to 17-year-olds with varying degrees of skill and experience, then went 4-1-1 in the playoff round to finish second and earn a date with the Falcons in the final. “Our team has been successful because we have provided a consistent structure

within our practices and games,” Maione said. “We emphasized respect for each other, the skills and technical tactics to be learned and to rely and trust your teammates and also for our opponents. “I believe that our greatest strength was the belief in each other and that all the girls had a real bond to one another.”

‘Cardiac’ Eagles come through again Gary ahuja Times Sports

The Langley midget A3 Eagles have been the cardiac kids as of late. Competing at the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association final four championships, the Eagles needed some late-game magic to come through with the banner, and the accompanying spot in the B.C. provincial hockey championships. The final four ran March 2 to 5 in Vancouver. The Langley squad got things going with a pair of ties in their first two games: 4-4 against Whistler A1 and 6-6 versus Sunshine Coast A1. And while a pair of ties may seem unremarkable on the surface, what made these results even more impressive was the fact in both contests,

the Eagles faced multi-goal deficits in the late going. Against Whistler, Langley was down 4-1 before rallying wit three goals in the final 10 minutes. And versus Sunshine Coast, they faced a 6-4 deficit with seven minutes to play and struck twice before the final buzzer sounded. That set up a showdown in the team’s final game, against the host Vancouver A2 squad. And this time, no late-game magic was needed as Langley doubled up their Vancouver counterparts 6-3 to earn a spot at the provincial championships in Port Alberni (March 17 to 21). “Provincials were not as easy goal, but a realistic one,” said Eagles coach Ed Baker. “But after winning a pair of tournaments earlier in the season, we knew it was attainable.”

He was referring to victories at events in Summerland in October and Portland in February against some tough tier 1 and tier 2 competition. The Eagles are a tier 3 team. The team’s make-up has played a big key in their thirdperiod success. “The team’s strength would be a combination of speed, size, skill and determination,” Baker said. “Therefore allowing us to wear teams down in the third period.” The team is also buoyed by having balanced scoring, a physical and mobile defence corps and very solid goaltending. “What surprised us about this team was the first year (players) — nine of them — making the jump from bantam to midget and competing hard and playing a big part in our success,” Baker added.

With first place — and a spot at the B.C. provincial hockey championships in Kelowna — on the line, the Langley bantam AA Eagles did not disappoint. The Eagles scored a resounding 4-0 victory over the Burnaby Winter Club Bruins. The two teams — who were both 2-0 in round robin play at the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association — squared off on March 5 in Mission, with the winner earning the right to represent the region at the upcoming provincial tournament.

Provincials run March 17-21 in Kelowna. Langley had won their opening two games, 4-1 over Port Moody A1 and then posted a come-from-behind 5-4 victory against Aldergrove A1. That set up the championship final for all the marbles and the Langley squad delivered an impressive performance. “The boys played phenomenal,” said Rick Hunter. At the start of the season, provincials was a realistic goal for the team. But the key for the team to achieving that goal was discipline.

“They have really curtailed (their penalty minutes),” Hunter said, pointing out that the Eagles were among the most penalized during league play. With less time spent in the penalty box, the Eagles have ridden three solid lines and great goaltending to six straight playoff victories — three at the final four championships, and three in the playoff qualification round. “We have just really gelled together,” he said about the team, which features some players with four years of hockey experience, while others have nine years experience.
